Deputation to Town Council by Oro Minor Hockey Association
June 25th, 2003
Issue at Large:
Oro Minor Hockey Association is facing pressures in several areas in the management
and governance of Minor Hockey within Oro-Medonte Township.
Factors:
An increased population within Oro Medonte Township has forced our association to cap
the number of players allowed to play within our organization. This particular pressure
will increase as the population within our communities continues to grow.
F or the first time in the history of Oro Minor Hockey we had 24 hockey teams playing
during the 2002-2003 season. This is the maximum allowable number of teams, under the
current available ice-time.
The pressures of both Barrie and Orillia Minor Hockey Associations have caused the
association to implement policy to deny any requests from children in both these
communities to play hockey in Oro Medonte.
Our association is bound by regulations and policies of the Ontario Minor Hockey
Association in conjunction with the Canadian Hockey Association.
Example: Section 22.4 of the OMHA Rules & Regulations states" ....a team shall have
not more than eighteen (18) players in uniform, including a goaltender" ...
Issues:
Current ice-time allotment will not meet the future needs of Ora Minor Hockey.
The current facilities at the Community Centre (arena) do not adequately provide for
suitable, facilities to accommodate female hockey players.
There is insufficient storage area for team sweaters, equipment and other related items.
The arena entrance does not allow for proper control of people entering the arena causing
admittance of non-paying attendees.
Management and administration of advertisement space and arena signage would allow
for increased hockey sponsorship, which further assist in financial management.

RE: OriIlia Area Hotel Association
Dear Mr. Dunlop;
Thank you for your ongoing support for the Hotel Association and the Lake Country
Consortium.
We would like to share some infonnation with you that has affected our industry in the
past year with hopes of your support to encourage our government to continue to support
Lake Country with marketing dollars to promote the area and help fill our rooms.
The Hotel Association was fonned in 1986 the year Casino Rama opened.
Over the years we have worked with Casino Rama to provide Hotel Rooms for their
guests and to do co-operative marketing to bring visitors to our area in the winter month
especially.
The new rooms to our area have allowed present properties to expand and new Hotels to
open.
The Casino booked approximately 150 - 200 rooms per night amongst all Hotels at an
average price of $60 per room.
This equated to about $3,000,0000 in room revenue to the area. This volume was during
the Sunday to Thursday time frame allowing non discounted rates on weekends.
We definitely felt the impact of the Casino and the Hotel Association was thankful for
this impact.
Effectively July of 2002 Casino Rama opened it's new Hotel of 290 Rooms and the effect
to our association has been drastic. The Strategy of overflow rooms with a very busy
convention centre has not materialized and with the ongoing difficulties in this time of
unrest and health issues, we are worried.
We hope that the Casino business strategy is not to only fill 290 of their own rooms but
to bring conferences to this area that would fill 1000 rooms.
We have been advised that the Casino has had 100% occupancy this winter but we do not
see an over flow to our hotels from their business but the opposite as we head back to
recessionary numbers of 1991-1995

Our concerns are that if we do not see improvement, that there will be casualties to our
Association which means lost jobs and taxes to our Lake country region.
We ask if you could help us through the OLGC(Ontario Liquor Gaming Commission)to
provide us with assistance so that Casino Rama and the Hotel Association can put a plan
together to promote this area ( beautiful Lake Country) to fill ALL rooms in the area.
We are asking for you and your governments continual support and thank you for such.
Could we please meet with you to discuss our concerns at your earliest convenience, we
would be happy to share more details with you at this meeting as to ADR and OCC.
Respectfully yours,

Jadeens' husband Bob look at how we can mount them.
2. Display case for the African Church---See if Bruce has started
work on one. An archival business supplier catalogue prices
out at $1500. We will revisit this at the next meeting.
3. Original lamp bases in the African Church at the front were
discussed and J adeen and Tim will get comparable ones to
restore them. Also they will look for an old small parlour
stove for the Church similar to what would probably have
been there originally.
4. Sign on the African Church-Check with Bruce about doing
only one instead of refurbishing the current one and adding
another. Keep the old sign inside the Church in a display case.
5. Should see about doing some landscaping around the African
Church. Tim will talk to Alister Crawford and Sheila will
request if the Horticuhural Society can look at this and take it
on. A historical perspective should be maintained.

Memo To Council/or Harry Hughes March 20, 2003
From Tim Crawford, Chairperson, Oro-Medonte History Committee
Re: The Nature/Structure of Our History Committee as It Pertains to Council
Recently there have been questions by some Councillors about the nature of our committee
for it seems somewhat different from all other committees of Council. In that you have been
in dialogue with our vice-chair Jadeen Henderson, and me, thIs memo has been addressed
to you
This memo is to provide you with a bit of background on the Committee
- much of it is "oral history." In the last paragraph we ask that you
deliberate on this report, consult others if you wish, and provide us with
some advice as to whether or not the structure of the History Committee
should be changed.
Some Background and, History of the History Committee
Apparently the late Howard Campbell formed the committee about 28 years ago. We
suspect he was a council member at the time, perhaps the reeve. It was a committee of
volunteers all of whom appear to have been non-council members, perhaps with the
exception of Howard. (The committee originally may have been formed to write the first
book, the Story of Oro.) Later, after he retired as Clerk, the late Henry Neufelt was asked to
join the committee and he became its secretary. Henry made sure the minutes were in line
with other committee minutes. .
Loreen Lucas is the longest living history committee member (now retired from the
committee). She repeatedly has stated that the committee was strictly volunteer,and thatno
member submitted a penny of expense claim, This report will now question whether or not
that policy should be maintained or modified. '
Membership
At the time I joined the committee it was the policy that one had to be invited to join. .~
Apparently it was a tradition to carefully pick new members, making sure that each would be
compatible with the current group and would likely work smoothlywith it. In my case I was
invited to attend one meeting, then invited to attend another, and then invited to become a
member. The invitation to join was given by the committee, not by council.
At one time a councillor challenged the structure of the committee implying that is was a
"closed committee," as opposed to other committees which were opened each year by
means of ads placed in newspapers etc. As an observation, this "closed approach" has
worked well, but another structure might work equally as well
I do recall when Henry Neufelt was our secretary, sometime in January, he insisted that a list
of current members be compiled, and re-nominated (sort of reconfirming one's own
membership). This action was documented in our minutes, In this way membership in the
committee was re-affirmed.
Since I have been chair this has not been done. Perhaps it should have been, but quite
frankly after Henry died, he was not thereto remind us and we Just didn't think to do it. We
carried on year to year. New members joined after motions were passed to bring them on
board, but no formal list was prepared in January as once was the case.
~c..-LP
Someone recently asked,
Is your committee actually a committee of council?
It is a valid question. So many organizations that deal with local history are "associations" or
"societies." Loreen Lucas has repeatedly said that we are a committee of council and that
link assured that the committee IS preserved. We might be the only such committee in
Ontario that is, a committee of a municipal council. The Simcoe County Historical Associ-
ation receives funding from Simcoe County Council, but it has its own policies and by-laws.
Many history societies are formed (one was formed in Ora about 6 years ago and there was
one in Medonte) only to disappear when the key motivators die off, burn out, or lose interest
The now defunct Medonte society had intended to publish the Medonte book but there was
not sufficient help nor expertise to bring the book to fruition. Our committee took over that
role for Medonte, and of course IS now publishing that book.
The fact that we are a committee of Council gives the committee permanence and
continuity. The fact that we are working for council seems to be a motivating factor
- someone is depending on us to get things done
Funding
At one time, each year we were asked by staff to compile a budget. Unless we were
planning a plaque or a book for that particular year the budget was always modest, perhaps
$2000 and we usually did not spend a dime,
I
Over the last 3 or 4 years, particularly when we began the Medonte book 3 years ago. we did
ask for a type of sinking fund to be set up to help pay for the book, which is estimated at
somewhat over $30 000. At the time $5000 a year was set aside and the last time I asked
the fund was up to $20 000. That may no longer be necessary now that our projects that
involve the sale of something are set up more or less as a Joan, more specifically as an
accounts receivable. The Township pays the bill, and the proceeds of the sale goes back
into Township general revenue, Usually the Township breaks even within a year or so. The
best example is the book on the African Church,
About 3 or 4 years ago I heard indirectly, that staff was establishing a budget for us in the
amount of $10 000 per year, We didn't receive any statement to that effect. I am not aware
as to whether or notthat same amount is still being budgeted for us each year. When some
costs are involved, such as in re-photographing Medonte photo albums, I just submit the bills
and get paid.
Are we a committee of council? Obviously yes.
The Future Structure
One member of our committee wondered if it should be re-structured to match other
committees of council. We are open to suggestions and direction of Council. One member
said at a recent meeting, if my neighbour is going out to another committee of council the
same night I'm going to a history committee meeting and is getting, say, $75 for the meeting,
why shouldn't I'
e
As a result of questions asked about our structure and the above comment we felt we should
discuss our structure. Before doing so, we thought we should get input from you and
~c..-1-
t whomever you consult.
The question posed to you in this report is: would you reflect on this report,
perhaps consult with others, and provide us at sometime in the future some direction? I have
done some thinking on this and have come up with a number of options presented below for
your consideration
OPTIONS
The History Committee:
(1) continues as is:
(2) continues as is but each member is provide a per annum honorarium to cover the
odd long distance call, the odd stamp, and gas to 10 meetings (Not included might be
an approved purchase of something for the township or for the committee that could
be put in separately as an expense claim.)
(3) becomes restructured to match other committees of council with respect to
payment for attendance at meetings;
(4) some other arrangement.
Respectfully submitted,
It
P.S. (1) There are two or three people we have in mind who might join the committee.
We'll not invite them until we receive some clarification on our status and how we will
operate from now on
P.S.(2)
Just to remind you about all the volunt~er hours that are put in, consider the following:
Most people who have not written a book have no idea as to 'the hours involved. There must
have been 20 000 or more person-hours put into the Medonte book (Mary began the
research many years ag9 and since the fall of 1999 other members have added uncounted
hours to the project.) At least that many hours went into the first edition of Kith 'N Kin and
half that many hours will go into its revision. It took me between 500 to 800 hours to
research and write the book on the African Church. I have no idea how many hours went
into the first book, the Story of Oro.)
Just to prove a point, consider a scenario, of council contracting with writers of the Medonte
book to compile Medonte's history and put it into a book. Assume the rate paid to
researchers and writers is $20 per hour. If it took 20 000 hours...?
Clearly, given the work the committee has done over the last 28 or so years, establishing
plaques, putting on displays at fairs, talking to civic groups, giving presentations to school
children, answering Inquiries made at the administrative offices, and above all else the
terrific number of hours put into researching and writing the 5 books (soon to be 6), the
History Committee has been an still is giving Council "excellent value for the money,"

Mr. Molesworth reviewed the possible grant amount available for the

if they were committed to the whole shelving project or if they might
consider splitting the project in two and just replace shelving in the
Children's Department. To date, one quote has been received from the
supplier that built the shelving for the Helen Delaney Fiction Room.
This wood shelving is unique and may be difficult to replicate.
Mr. Molesworth stated that any future shelving should be adjustable and
adaptable to the current setting and any future expansion of the building.
Mr. Swick asked if there were other office furniture supply houses that

the Welcome Wagon but when the supply ran out they were not
reordered. The Board supported this initiative.
7.3 Barrier Free Access
Mr. Molesworth reported on a meeting he attended at the Town Office
regarding compliance to new Provincial legislation related to Barrier
Free Access. He was asked to list the Library's achievements in
providing barrier free access and areas that may still need to be

access washroom but it is not in strict compliance. The urinal, which is
currently out of order, is too close to the toilet. The urinal may be
removed and not replaced.

Dear Mr. Craig,
~
Thank you for your letter dated April 17, 2003, regarding the Township ofOro-Medonte's support for appointing
a representative from the County of Simcoe to any future central Ontario Smart Growth panels.
The central Ontario Smart Growth panel has recently completed its mandate to provide advice to the Province on
a long-term, 30-year strategy for growth. Its final report entitled "Shape the Future" was released on April 17t\
2003.
The Government launched its Smart Growth initiative to pursue its vision of promoting and managing growth in
Ontario, based on the principles of a strong economy, strong communities and a clean, healthy environment. It
will work with all levels of government, stakeholders and communities, to ensure that decisions on public
investments help to improve our economic competitiveness, protect and enhance our environment, build livable
communities and create transportation choice.
The Government established advisory panels in five smart growth zones across Ontario. The panels are comprised
of a range of stakeholders, including elected officials, environmentalists, and the private sector. This multi-
stakeholder approach ensured that the panel's advice was comprehensive and balanced.
The Province is committed to ensuring ongoing open dialogue with all municipalities as it moves forward with the
Smart Growth initiative. I have copied your letter to the Minster's Office for consideration.
Thank you for your comments and interest in the Smart Growth initiative. For more information on the Ontario
Smart Growth initiative, please visit our website at www.smartgrowth.gov.on.ca.
Yours sincerely,
"

Lot 11, Concession 3 (Oro)
2455
In response to the reports received from council CMX would like to re-address a few of
the issues raised and clarify some erroneous details.
To begin with, CMX held 5 events in 2003, as opposed to 2 as stated in the report, and
of those 5 events there was only one complaint received. The proposed events for 2003
have documented support from all immediate neighbors of the property, with opposition
being from one single resident who has solicited additional opposition from residents,
many of whom it has been brought to our attention, were not even aware that last year's
events took place. In all the letters of opposition only 3 residents stated that they heard
the races. The number of residents in Oro Medonte who would like to see the events
run would out number the opposition dramatically.
We are confident that if the opposition were to see first hand, the quality and structure of
the event and the sport in general, the concerns regarding the claim that it is
"counterproductive to wholesome life". Motocross is a sport that brings the family unit
together in a very disciplined and structured, recreational environment. We believe that it
would be counterproductive to take this opportunity away from the kids and families that
enjoy it. In a most recent poll motocross was voted second most popular sport in the
world, following Nascar. So in contrast to the world fair it would show that Oro Medonte
is up with the times by allowing such events as motocross.
Further more we think that the forfeit of absolute solitude for the chance of some noise
for only 4 days within a 5 month period definitely balances with the benefit that
participants and the community receive from a motocross event.
We would ask Council for the opportunity to run one single day event and one 2 day
event in order to properly gauge how they are received and what the actual impact on
the community is.
We would also like to invite and encourage the opposition, town council members and
planning staff etc. to attend the race day as our quests, in order for all parties involved to
see first hand what motocross is all about. We are confident that once there is a better
understanding of this highly intense sport and previous misconceptions have been
corrected, a greater level of appreciation will be achieved, and the opposition may very
well become supporters.
Page 1 of2
Allowing us 3 days over 2 weekends should give us adequate variability in weather
conditions, winds direction, cloud cover etc. that would allow for a more accurate and
detailed analysis of the noise and environmental impact involved in such events.
We will provide a sound/noise professional on site to measure, record and analyze
decibel levels for a radius of 2 miles of the property to identify and document the noise
levels. This will be evidence to either support or dismiss opposition noise complaints.
We deem this to be necessary as the people most affected by the noise, the immediate
neighbors are without complaints or issues with noise levels therefore making the
complaints of residents that are miles away suspect.
If Council decides that it is in the best interest to run 2 or 3 dates to asses the noise we
would ask that our first trial date is Sunday, August 10, 2003.
Once again, your time and consideration of our proposal is greatly appreciated by all
parties involved.
Sincerely,
Tom Beaton
President - CMX Racing

Each year we sweep the pavilion and wash tables before the
event and ensure all garbage is in containers and the
location is clean when we leave.
Since we are residents of Oro-Medonte and volunteer in the
community, we are asking Council to consider waiving the
$48.00 fee.
Please advise us of your decision. Thanking you in advance

Thank you for your notice of this proposed amendment, dated February 11, 2003.
The Niagara Escarpment Commission has no comment, as the lands which are the
subject of this amendment are not in the area of the Niagara Escarpment Plan.
The Commission would, however, like to continue to be circulated in order to review the
wording of the new subsections being introduced into the County of Simcoe Official
Plan, to ensure that the changes do not have general implications for similar
designations in the Niagara Escarpment Plan.

Dear Mayor Craig,
As you are aware, we represent Horseshoe Resort and we have had an opportunity to
review the draft amendments to the Township's Official Plan r::garding the 01'0 Moraine.
Noted below are comments regarding this document. Please note that many of these
comments were provided by Mr. Martin Kimble to the 01'0 rvloraine Committee during
the study period.
S'~ction AI, The Community Vil,ion
The purpose of this section is to set the context of the pollcies of th~ Official Plan.
Noticeably absent in the Vision of the Township is Council's recognition of the
resort/recreatlonal industry as a key identifying factor in the Township's character.
Horsl;:shoe Resort would request that this id,;:ntity and key economic component be
positively identified in the Township's Vision Statement.
S,~ction A 1_ Goals and Strat.s:,gic Objectives
The Resort requests that in ':he "Economic" section that the Township recognize and
support recreational uses as an economic: vehicle as is the case in the current Official Plan
which states that one of the Township's economic principals is "The expansion and
dj.versificati01 of existing recreational uses will be encouraged so that these areas can
take advantaf;e of their market potential." (section A2.5.1 #6).

Si;;ction A4.3 Special Policy Area for Horseshoe Valley Road
Various sections of the Plan are deleted by this new section. A4.3 (b) refers the reader to
S,i;;ction A4.2 of the Plan. We could not find this section in th(;: existing or proposed new
planning policies. V\Te understand however, in speaking with Mr. McDonald, that new
S'~ction A4.2 is the old Section 131.2.2 and on this basis, we have no conc(~rn.
S~ction 131 Oro Moraine Plal1J)ing Area
We question the accuracy of the 01'0 Moraine Boundary and the Oro Moraine Planning
Area boundary.
S'i;;ction 13 1.4 should also identify that the Moraine is characterized by r<;~creational uses
and development, and that this form of development should be protected and enhanced.
~~ction 13 1,6.2 and B 1.6.3
We would like clarification that any appJication for planning approvals in the CDP area at
Horseshoe Rt~sort is NOT defined as "major development".
~~ctiQ_n 13 1.6.4 Continued Monitori.n.g
We would like clarification as to hov. water users will partIcIpate m your proposed
monitoring plan and who wil! be responsible fm any studies.
S'~ctiortJ..n:l.tdS.
We \vould request that the Resort's CDI' area be exempt from this requirement as the
CDP process replaces this req Llirement.
~~ction 13 1.9 .2e. Transfer of Lallds into Public Owner~hill.
The Resort strongly objects to the policy to obtain private lands, though dedication
outside the parkland dedication set out in the Planning Act, as a means of expropriating

Township of Oro-Medonte - Proposed Official Plan Amendment
Re: Oro Moraine and Aggregate Resource Policies
Report PD-03-040
--....._-
Recommendation
THAT this report be received and a copy forwarded to the Township of Oro-Medonte.
Backqround
Oro-Medonte Township is currently considering a major Official Plan Amendment to
address the policy framework around the protection of the Oro Moraine and to refine its
policies on aggregate resources, Their current Official Plan dates from 1997 and it
appears that the proposed amendment has also incorporated their required five-year
review into the process.
Most of the proposed changes to the existing document are either organizational or
represent a refinement of an existing policy direction, with particular emphasis on
environmental protection. The most significant changes can be summarized as follows:
1. Specific population estimates and projections are identified. In 2001 there were
19,000 permanent residents with an estimated additional 6,000 seasonal residents
in the Township_ By 2023, the population is expected to increase by 8,000 to 10,000
people.
2. An "Oro Moraine Planning Area" is designated, accompanied by related policies
directed at protecting its character, natural heritage features and its importance as a
groundwater recharge area. The net effect of the new policy framework is to restrict
the potential for new development or areas of aggregate extraction on the Moraine,
3. The Amendment proposes new sections on "Environmental Objectives", "Watershed
Planning" and" Tree Preservation and Planting".
The existing land use designations outside of the Oro Moraine Planning Area are
unaffected and the existing restrictions on development adjacent to Orillia's boundaries
are maintained.
Policv Impact
There is no apparent policy impact on the City,

Summary
There are two basic aspects to the Official Plan Amendment being proposed by Oro-
Medonte. The substantive changes are directed at protecting the natural heritage features
of the Township. particularly those found on the Ora Moraine and protection of the Moraine's
function as a groundwater recharge area. The other proposed changes are largely
'housekeeping' measures, many of them relating to the organization of the document, and
result from an effort to emphasize the importance of environmental considerations in the
Township's planning. There appears to be nothing in the document which gives cause for
concern on the part of the City.

Dear Andria,
Please make sure that this letter reaches the Mayor's office before the June 20th deadline for submissions.
Thank you.

Dear Mayor and Council Members,
We are but a blip in the time of our universe. At that we are not an insignificant blip. Our generation and those
before us have mercilessly and unforgivingly ravished this earth and it is only now that we are slowly developing a
collective consciousness and conscience about what we have done. It is important that all decisions we make
now that pertain to environmentally sensitive areas are made with the needs of future generations in mind. As
was pointed out rather ironically by the representative for the aggregate association, the gravel of the moraine is a
non-renewable resource. As such it should not be made available forever and ever until it is gone. We will never
again have the ice-age that left behind this perfect percolation material for our water resources.
The very fact that Council is taking an "environment first" stance on future development is laudable. It should not
even be a debatable question in light of the importance that must be given to all environmentally sensitive areas
but since it is, please please please stand firm in your resolve and adopt the Amendment to the Official Plan as
proposed. It will be one of the most important legacies this Council can ever leave behind.
Best regards,
Ingrid VanderMarel

COMMENTS ON THE ORO-MEDONTE DRAFT OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT A.~ DIsc..'lJSSED
AT PUBliC MEETING OF ORO-MEDONTE COUNCIL JUNE 3,2003_ Addres..'Ied to Mayor Craig"
Deputy Mayor Dickie, and CounciHOJ"S_ June 9, 2003.
I have owned the west half. lot 2, concession 5, of fonner Oro, since 1946 (fucing the 4th line; across the
road &om a golf course)_ I grew up in the Oro Moraine; my parents OVi>'lled the property where Cathedral
Pines now i.... and around 1930 planted the pine trees there (They owned the e %., lot I, cone 4, and the w ~s"
1otl, cone 5, offormer Medonte). We lived in the house just to the ~1.;. it is now a bed and breakf~1. In
1hose days 1he sandy soil was eX1>osed. and dust permeated every corner of1he hou..<e when 1he wind blew,
until1he 1rOO5 covered the ground So I have lifetime awarene..<;s of1he Oro moraine.
Itive in Toronto and have no residence on the Oro property. So I regret I cannot participate in municipal
affairs nearly as much as r d like, though I did attend the June 3 meeting. I am a forester, long retired I feel
plea..'Ied witl1my understanding oftl)e proposed amendment; I'd guess you've ~1.rnck as rea..o;;onable as
po.<;sible a baJance anIDng 1he diverse land uses of the moraine, and would like to offer a few comments
which I hope are helpful in considering its future_
My Property
In 1946 my property was a farm, semi-abandoned, with 22 acres of :hardwood forest. a few acres of dense
low-quality young :hardwood growth. and 1he rest pretty much open fields, some of it ex"'t'O-'Ied sand subject
to wind and water erosion. It was no longer funned, but pastured now and then by neighbours. The house
W"dS rented to a man who worked as a "hired man"" for 10l.~1 fiumers. Soon after he moved and aU building...
were removed trom the place lest they be an unacceptable fire hazard to young tree plantations.
'The open fields were refo~1ed by about 1955; tl)e place has been fully for~1.ed since. In the 1950's 1here
was a m~1. Christmas 1ree harvest. Star6ng 1977 n~1. of my plantations have been reguJarJy thitmed,
and .tre now marked for another thinning. most for the 4111 time. My original hardwood bu...n has been
thinned twice. Each thinning has brought income to me, and I think much larger income in the community,
in the form of employme~ material for sawmills, etc., and has mada::dIy improved the forest, increasing it....
contribution to the quality oftlre moraine. In the long term" as 1he plantations mature, tl)ey will be replaced
by young hardwood; that transition is under w-ay as many of1he pl:anta1ions have a dense yotmg :hardwood
m:ldergrowth. Even now, tl)ey look less like plantations and more like young hardwood for~"l
As I planted my first trees in 1946, it was early spring. and at times dust: blow'll &om the cultivated field
across the road at times filled the air. That ceased when the field.. ceased being adtivated
From 1978 to 1993 my property was under a management agreement under1he Wood1ands Improvement
Act; wnre replacenrent of plantations happened under that agreement I received property tax rebates under
the old managed forest tn.x: rebate system. It is now in the Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program, and is
covered by an approved managed forest plnn. I am aware that thi... progrdm impacts on the towu.o;hip's tax
base; though I have never enquired, I hope the township can see that as a sound investment in the future
rnral quality of 1he area. Even 1hougb I do not live tl)ere I draw great satisfaction in contributing to that
quality.
My forest is managed much like roost County Forest properties are. The C,OOnty Forests ofSimooe (alw of
Dufferin County and York and Durham Regions) are in my mind outstanding ~'e8." stories; I am old
enough to b.we seen on those properties a tran...ition ffom eroding waste land to a rich eI..'Onomic, social and
ecological asset; I have been warmly complimented by for~1.ry coHeagues. Coucbiclnng ConseJ'"\'ancy. 1he
local steward<;bip council, fan)ily men)bers and others, for what has happened in my 57 years on 1he place.
l1)e Ganara..<tka Hiking Trail crossed my place n-om its beginning to about 7 years ago, when concerns from
nearby residents calL'red it to be moved There is now a side trail trom the relocated main trail coming to my
entrance then making a loop using my trail... The people I see on it are mainly nearby residents" walking
their dogs or simply enjoying the natured setting or seeking a place of peace. One, a retired. teacher,
~
~
enthused at length to me about what a great place it would be to teach children musiC; art;, drama" etc. Were
I a teacher I might also use it as a setting for teaching nature and environment 100 North Simcoe
Stewardship Cooncil wouJd like some day to place simple educational ~-igns along my trails.. My fond hope
is fba1the place ,'\'i]] denJonstrate that good management., including carefu1logging ftom 1ime to 1ime, leads
to a forest that i.. a place of natural beauty and of peace" and that the place will remain as a working,
carefi.llly managed forest:.
I cannot know for sure, but would believe that as long as forest of any description covers the place, it
contn'butes its fun share to the water recharge capabiJities of1be moraine, and therefore to the quality and
flow ofwater out of the moraine_
I am puzzled that most of the place i.. not shown as Naniral Heritage in the maps sho\\>'ll at the June 3
Council Meeting. I understand that tbi.. i... due to it.. proximity to development and to it.. being plantation
rather than natural hardwood forest_ TIJe next few decades will see its 1ransition toward being natural forest.
TIw people I have seen who now respect and enjoy it most are people who live in the nearby development
The fea:tures those people enjoy extend right to the conces..'lion road..
Future of the Property
I an) aging, and 1be property mu~1 one day be 1nmed over to 01W or more family me.mbe.rs. One 1bougbt is
that there nught be a residence on the place, (it bas had no building since the hou..~, barn, and garage were
removed shortly after I bought it)_ The residence might be log or straw-bale, energy self-sufficient (using
solar panels, windmills, etc.. and designed for maximum energy and water efficiency), there might be a
small studio for teaching perfOffiling arts and outdoor education, in a manner that enhances and does not
dimiJush the natural setting. The studio nught include some forest gardening or permacu1tnre featuring
locally occurring ~-pecies as much as po.....'lible_
My Thoughts about the Oro Moraine
My years of employment (1950-&3) and my volunteer t()restry work since have given me a good feel oflbe
Oro moraine in re.mtion to landscape of South em Ontario. In the 1950's I was involved in a land use study
ofthe t.own.">hips of Tiny, Tay, Flos and Med.onte. Out ofthis I have thougbtabout the moraine foc decades,
and have feh that it W.ouJd be one of a mnnber of great places for a concenlIation .of managed forest,.
p3..<lSive recreation activity, wiJdHfe and water conservation" that residential devel.opment coo1d be
accommodated in such a mix. and that a conmJercia1 for~1 industry could opera:t.e in the area in ways that
would safeguard and enhatll.-'e its nann:al feanu-es.
Recent ground water studies contirm and quantifY what I always feU-that the upland is diy, that countIes...
wetlands and watercourses is..<;ue :6-om its perimeter. ft.om precipitaion falling on the upland. In Nortb
Simcoe n.owadays is a body .ofJando,,"-ners. for~1ry con~..ul1ants. loggers and sa,V!.'IDillers wh.o have shown
that a rich forest industry can thrive in a way that constantly enbances 1be f~1 as an ecol.ogicaJ, social and
e~'"Onomic as.<>et. I dream th.'\l this important el.'OO.omic activity can be expanded, and believe it can. be d.one
without in any way adversely affeding the qualities and enjoyment onhe moraine.
In recent yean; we seem to have had a ~-ignificant number .of drought periods. While I've no basis for this" I
would wonder if retention of maximmu amounts .of for~1 in the moraine wou1d provide some sort .ofbuffer
against1be effect .of severe drought .on ground water levels and related stream flow.
Experience with county forests across Southern OntariQ in their early days showed that reforesting areas
that had earlier been def.orested had dramatic effect .on ground water (depth to water in welL..) and on the
quality and flow of stream... arising Ii"om such areas.
My TI1OUg\tts about tbe June 3 Draft Official Plan A1nendment.
.3.
These are about s~;fic things in the draft document di.'>1ributed June 3, they may be repititou.~ of what I
have said above.
p.9. Natural Heritage. I beJieve that having a working properly managed f~1 with regu:Jar Jogging can
:financiaUy help Jandowner8 to be good stewards {as it bas done for me}. and that that. wilJ heJp maintain or
enhance the desired natura] fea1ur'es of the moraine. I beJieve that periodic logging" properly dQne. wiU not
adverselyaflea 'water conservatiQn" and can be done in ways that enhance the area>s potential t.o support a
thriving wildlife populatiQn.
TIlis may help reduce further fragmenting 01' parcelization of the Iand.<;eape. In some places" active fOl'est
management in 'the wooded remnants w:itb.in develQpment area.<;. nlight help retain these renmants and 1hus
a de~1red degree of attractiveness and coonetedness within tho..-.e areas.
p.IO. Ground Water. I believe that forest cover, managed or not, can hnve nmajor contributing role in
ground water conservntion. Hi~toricaUy, I know that retorestation of open land~ in some county forest.~ in.
e.g. tbe Oak Ridges Moraine, led to a ~1ora.tiQn Qfboth we]} levels and reguJarity and qua.1ity of stream
flow. These quaJities had been severe1y harmed fQUo-wing excessive earlier defOl'esta1ion. Historically,
e.g.on 'the Ganara..-.ka. River, the cyc1e of:tlood 'then dry river bed that happened after land clearing was
ended as young forests regreened the moraine, and the cold water fi..-mery returned.
p.II. Mineral aggregate. Forest cover can be used to have a significant role in screening aggregate
operations from public view. Pit rehabilitation cou1d include forest cover with 'the exhausted pit being
restored to a degree tQ becoming part of the fQ~1ed landscape of the area. 1bere are resounding succes...'IeS
tQ be found in this.
p.ll_ In agricultural areas. the plnce of woodlots, shelterbelts. windbreak<;,. and a variety .of agrotOrestIy,
permaculture and rorest gardening practices,. and the potential of each ofthese to enhance agriculture in the
area. shouJd be kept in mind. and 'the retention or restoration .of such cover be actively encouraged .
p.12. The potentia] .of trees and forest to enbance'the qua]ity QfJife for each home within the settJement
areas, as well as the settlements' potential for P.ositive contribution to the area's ecology, should be kept in
mind Should tm.... seem mr-tetched, I'd note that large urban areas (llive in Toronto) have large numbers of
trees and wooded. areas. as well as their own forestry departments.. I think m."IOded areas within these areas
must remain an important part of1J1e OrQ Moraine ecQlogy, that 'they wiU help nlininnze or .offset. any
negative effect of settlen1ent .on 1Jw const':I,"\,.:rt.i,,)J) QfwildJife and .of ground water, as weU as .of natura]
beauty They would a]so help maintain a desired linkage between the fores!. of the moraine and that. in
Copeland forest_ Tbi.~ would apply especially to the six nreas along Horseshoe valley Road, noted on p.19.
One resident rve spoken to is aILx'iou.... to retain a treed screen for aesthetic reasons around her home.
A word of cautiQn: 'there are SQme pitfa]ls in creating cleared areas within existing forest. as is 'the ca.-.e with
some .of the sett1en1ents. Trees are sudden1y and unnaturaJly e:>"1JOsed as c1ea.ring takes place. Tree roots can
be damaged tQ the point QfuUing or seriouSly weakening the trees. Men1bers .of 'the OntariQ Urban Forestry
C.ouncil can teU you much more about: thi.~
p.l3. An active, highly managed Oro Moraine forest can be one that enhances attractiveness for b_-.urism
and has the potentia] for a fore!>'! industry that is a major econonlic cQmributiQn. My persona] experience
with my o",-'J} property, plus e:>..-periences of Simcoe c.ounty Fores!. and other county forests. win illustrate.
p.IS. An active, highly managed n)fesl: can include a variety of sen....itive areas w'here logging" roads. traiL",
and/Qr other disb.nbances are excluded or kept to a minimum.. At the same time. some key habitat areas
might be improved, and others even created, by the right kind... of tre-e cutting or other human intervention.
Such measures would be included in t'(>res!: management plans; this would go a tong '\~y toward ensuring
'their protection.
'-!-.
p.2 L For most of the points li~ted under the intent of the plan, fore.'Jt has a role~ be it pri.'Jtine or managed to
some degree ofintem.ity. It is a significant landform partly becau....e of its f~'t cover_ The naturaJ heritage
features include forest. in it....elf,. and in support of1be oilier natura1 heritage features. Forest is part of the
Moraine's mraJ character.
An intent is sttted to encourage good steward-;hip by landowners, by devices like conservation easements_
The role of the managed fore.'Jt; tax incentive program (MFTIP) might be considered.. I know this program
affects the tax ba.....e of any township; I suggest. this effect be seen as a sound investment by 1be township in
maintaining 1be fom,'t on 1be landscape. Since good ~1ewardsbip serves 1he ~'t of the township in 1be
moraine. I would suggest.1hat 1be township as far as pos..<:ible facilitate access 10 sources of support to
landowners,. and be proactive in promoting such stewardship.
Relevant organizations in this area include: the North Simcoe Land Stewardship Network; the Huronia
Woodland O\\.-ners Association; Huro.nia Loggers A.....'Iociation. A number offorestry consultants practice in
the area. More broadly ba...'!ed organizations include the Ontario Forestry A........'IOciation., the t1ntario Woodlot
A......'IOciation. and the Ontario Urban Forest. C,QUl1cil.
p.22. Forest has a place in each of the features and functions listed on this page, aL-so to the character ofthe
Moraine as mentioned on p. 23, and in each oftIte land use designations shovm on p.23.
p.24. TI)ere are places in North America where large areas are maintained under managed forest. where 1he
principa1 ~ective is conservation of1be water supply for. say. a large city. A similar approach might be
taken in the moraine in the serL<>e of its cnntributing water to six watershed~ Thi-; might be a strong
argument tOr the township actively promoting woodland stewardship.
p.27. In order 10 secure sen~itive land.-,> is acquisition or other development control always neces.'Iaf'y?
Could owners of sensitive lands be approached to gauge 1hci:r willingness to help safeguard the sensitive
features.. If I were such an owner. if you a..'lked me nicely and if you couJd consider an incentive<< just.lt
helping hand or kind word wherever pos..~ible I might be delighted to cooperate-e.g. might consider an
easeme-nt.. I might even call your attention to a potentially sen.~itive feature you were unaware of
p.28. A proactive approach to encouraging fom,1ry on the moraine might be usefu1. Forest management
involves intervention in 'the f ore..'It in pursuit of a specific o~ective. Could 1be township have a hand in
encouraging 'the establishment of a forest management cooperative. and 1be recruitment ofJandowners in
that coop. Tbi-; \\-"QUld promote and fucilitate forest mant.gement foc specific objectives, which must include
conservation of water, conser\o'ation of wildlife, conservation of the cbardcl:ec of the moraine, as wen as
production of quality timber. Such steps would help obtain economic return for landn\\"l1et'S, and would aL-so
belp make conservation mem."UJ"es economically possible. In North Sin:lCOO there are loggers who would do
excellent work in rocl) a setting.
On many items between pages 28 and 43 my comments would be largely repetitiou.<; of some of the above.
Many of the concerns can be at least partly addressed by the inclu.~ion or COD.<>er\o<ation of trees and tOrests.
p.44_ I an) delighted to see the section on tree preservation and planting. Roadside plantings anywhere by
the township. county and others should be warmly encouraged. Likewise. design of parking lots to include
lots of shade would be very helpful in controUing their adverse heat island effect. Also. tree plantings on
:<<..ilool groond~ and around places of worship, ret.Teation cet'ltres, dc., should be encouraged All that, along
with a Sf.ilool forest around each school" that is actively lL,>ed as part ofthe school experience, would
provide rich returns in citizen awarenes.<; of trees and forests.
Conclusion
In C(mclu.'>ion, the township seem<; to have cre.ated a preCiOlL<; opportunity to resolve competing or
conflicting viewpoints and 10 guide the :future of tbe t1ro moraine in a way that will make all your great-
grandchildren proud of you. My wisb is that my comments plus what bappens on my own place will be
helpful toward that end.

The Council of Oro-Medonte

148 Line 7 South
Box 100, Oro, Ontario

June 16, 2003.
Re: Official Plan Amendment
Oro Moraine and Aggregate Policies
Dear Councillors
After attending the June 3rd meeting re the above, I was surprised that my letter to you of
May 6th 2003 was not acknowledged at the beginning of that meeting as many others
were. Upon calling Marilyn Pennycook of your office I learned of some confusion as to
whether my letter was to be considered at the June3rd meeting or a meeting planned for
June 24th regarding the five year plan review. I can only hope that my correspondence
does get through to the right people.
At the suggestion of the Mayors' letter of May 27, 2003 and after a week of telephone tag
I finally was able to spend a few minutes with Mr. McDonald. Unfortunately Mr.
McDonald views my property as a parkland that everyone should be able to enjoy and I
get to pay for. He gave no sustantial reason why some low density development could
not exist along with the new initiatives. The problem with this exchange was that the
council did not get to hear my questions nor did they hear Mr. McDonalds' answers.
My property is immediately bordered to the north by a new 125 unit subdivisions which
does not even appear on maps A-I, A-2,or A-3. To the immediate east, line 7 is a
designated haul route and immediately on the other side of the haul route a rural
designation is proposed. To the south there is a approximately 1000 acres of gravel pits:
yet my property is designated to be frozen for some yet unexplained reason.
As an addition to my May 6th 2003 letter, let me confmn that I am certainly in favour of
the "Enviroment First" policy outlined in the report, however I see this as an impossible
goal to achieve if some 200/0 of the municipality is cut loose with out on site occupation.
It then becomes the playground of the masses, subject to trespass, fire, garbage dumping,
etc. Paid 24 hour security has already become necessary on Lot 3, Conc.7 because of
vandalism of equipment.
2.
Certainly existing residents, and others would like to have free use of the properties
around them. During a one hour time period on June 8, 2003 I counted 6 motorcycles; 8
mountain bike riders; 2 ATV'S and 6 people walking 4 dogs crossing through my
property. I am sure these folks enjoy the status quo, and would vote down any
development, but who pays the bills?
I believe that when more development restrictions are placed on what we now term as
moraine properties, they will be devalued and subject to even less attention by their
owners. If sensible environmental development of properties were allowed, there would
be a better chance of the character being retained and the environment being protected. A
liability would become tax revenue for the municipality.
Under "Recreational" in the October 2002 discussion paper I note that some 840
timeshare units and 600 additional hotel rooms are planned as well as expansion at
Hardwood Hills for cross county skiing and bike trails etc. Are we to accept that
transient guests will be accepted into the new plan and looked after better than those who
wish to become permanent tax. paying residents?
I believe the reports and studies should be used as policies to be considered once a plan
of development has been submitted. With all the existing variables on every property
involved, it would be absolute foley to shut down this percentage of the municipality
when there simply is no proven reason to do so.
As per the suggested O.P.A.ofMay 2003; the Natural Core/Corridor Area and the
Enhancement Area should be one and the same under section B 1.10. Development
Policies B 1.10.1.4 should be deleted and replaced by those of B 1.10.2.4 which are more
than restrictive enough. Section (b) ofB L 10,2.4 is an absolute land grab and should be
deleted.
It would appear that generally the amendment to the Official Plan has failed in its' main
objective of protecting water and controling gravel extraction. Water is being removed
from the municipality in huge amounts and gravel is controlled by other governing
bodies.
3.
It is my belief that adding some more taxpayers to help pay for ever increasing municipal
services never was, or is it now an issue. Wishful thinking in the proposals is taking the
place of economic reality. That is not to say that most of the goals cannot be met, but in
a much less confrontational way.
In closing let me bring to your attention that housing does exist on the Oak Ridges
Moraine and just this week has been approved for a major portion of the Oakville
Moraine.

ATTENDED THE PUBLIC MEETING JUNE 3RD, 2003 AND WAS
PARTICULARLY CONCERNED WITH THE AGGREGATE MATTERS AS
MY LAND IS PART OF A CURRENT APPLICATION FOR A PIT.
I ASK COUNCIL TO MAINTAIN THE CURRENT POLICY AND RULES
FOR SETTING OUT NEW GRAVEL HAUL ROUTES FROM PITS TO
COUNTY ROADS. IT IS UNFAIR AND DOES NOT ACCOMPLISH
ANYTHING BUT CAUSE CONFUSION AND UNCERTAINTY FOR LAND
OWNERS. THE PROCESS OF AN AGREEMENT TO IDENTIFY AND
UPGRADE THE CONCESSION ROADS AS NECESSARY WORKS WELL
AND SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED.
MY LAND AND MY NEIGHBORS' LANDS TO THE NORTH AND EAST

Dear Sirs:
Re: Draft Official Plan Amendment - Oro Morainel Aggregates
Oro-Medonte Official Plan
Our File: PIN 02-1751
On behalf of the Aggregate Producers Association of Ontario (AP AO), we provide the following
comments regarding the proposed Official Plan Amendment (OP A), These supplement the letter from
Jackie Fraser of AP AO to Nick McDonald, Meridian Planning Consultants Inc., dated April 30, 2003.
In the Mineral Aggregates Issue Paper for the Smart Growth Central Ontario Zone, Brian Hollingsworth,
Policy Officer of the Aggregate and Petroleum Resource Section, Lands and Water Branch of the
Ministry of Natural Resources, provides a number of facts pertinent to the proposed OP A. These
include:
"Mineral aggregates are non-renewable resources that are finite and geographically limited."
"Mineral aggregates are essential construction materials. It is literally the foundation of all bU1lt
structures and of the province's economy."
"Mineral aggregates require long-term protection and planning to ensure availability."
"On private land, the protection is provided by mineral aggregate policies incorporated into the
Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). Tht;se policies were developed to ensure that existing
aggregate operations and la10wn deposits of mineral aggregates are protected from incompatible
land uses. Municipalities must have regard for these policies and ensure that there is as much
aggregate resource as realistically possible made available to satisfy the provincial demand."

The proposed OP A does not have regard to the PPS in a number of areas.
1. The draft OP A does not recognize the mineral aggregates as a provincialJy significant natura!
resource on the Oro Moraine_
2. Aggregate resources are sterilized through broad protection of non-provincially significant
natural heritage features, such as woodlands, in thE: Ora Moraine~NaturaI Core/Corridor and
Ora-Moraine Enhancement Areas designations. By reducing the area of the Mineral Aggregate
Resources designation the extent of significant aggregate resources to be protected is also
reduced.
3. Some sigmficant aggregate resources are excluded from protection because they do not have
access to an existing haul route. It is "realistically possible" to protect and make these
resources available.
We request that Council have the draft OPA revised to have regard to PPS as outlined above, and
provide a copy of the revised document to us prior to consideration of OP A adoption.
Yours truly,
SKELTON, BRUMWELL & ASSOCIATES lNe.

Attention: Ms. Marilyn Pennycook, Clerk
Dear Ms. Pennycook:
,'RE: Attendance at Public Meeting on proposed changes to the Official Plan that will
incorporate new policies on the Oro Moraine and aggregate resQurces in the Township.
Further to my letter of April 1 0,2003 to Mr. Nick McDonald and my presentation to Mayor
and Council on June 3, 2003, I am writing to formally request that the land holdings of Dr. Tibor
Harmathy (see attached survey sketch) be excluded from the Ora Moraine Planning Area_ It is
noted that the subject lands are not within the Oro Moraine.
I recognize that the proposed Official Plan changes justify the 01'0 Morainep'lanning Area
boundary as providing "an appropriate boundary for planning purposes." From the planning
presentation at the public meeting on June 3,2003, I understand that the irregular curved
boundary line of the actual Ora Moraine (as initially established by the Ministry of Northern
Development and Mines) may be difficult to administer from a land use planning perspective.
However, as shown on the attached "Proposed Modification to the Oro Moraine Pla.J.ming Area
Boundary" and presented to Mayor and Council, my proposed realignmentofthe boundary is
rectilinear and equally easy to define and administer in planning terms,
As stated at the public meeting, I feel the inclusion of Dr. Harmathy's lands withintheOro
Moraine Planning Area is very onerous. The subject lands are currently designatedin the
Official Plan as:
Mineral Aggregate Resources (approx. 50%)
Agriculture (approx. 40%)
Environmental Protection One (approx.l 0%)
The proposed land use designations are:
01'0 Moraine Core/CorridorArea (approx_75%)
Agricultural Area (approx.15%)
Oro Moraine Enhancement Area (approx, 1 0%)

As you aware, Dr. Harmathy wishes to sever one lot (approx.8 hectares) from hisfamily
property which accommodates his personal residence. In my opinion, presently only a minor site
specific change is required to the Official Plan and no zoning change is required. However,
under the proposed Official Plan changes and subsequent implementing zoning by-law, I feel the
increased planning restrictions could prove prohibitive.
Also, at the present time and in the foreseeable future, Dr. Harmathy is not proposing to
undertake any extractive activities on his property but the removal of the Mineral Aggregate
Resources designation and the imposition of the Oro Moraine Core/Corridor Area designation
clearly removes existing development rights and is very limiting vis a vis permitted uses.
In closing, I once again request that increased restrictions not be imposed on the lands proposed
to be severed from Dr. Harmathy's property.

Township Oro-Medonte. Your Honour Mavor Crai1!. Esteemed Councillors. Ms.Lei1!h.
Planners RE: ORO MORAINE LAND USE STRATEGY-STUDY (Meridian-Azimuth) U 0 -J.'0
To all decision-makers for the above proposal, we make an impassioned request for vour
careful consideration. We have tried hard to be brief. but comprehensive.
As a family purchasing 2 properties (200+acres) in Oro about 20 years ago, we are
shocked and outraged at the proposed restrictions contemplated for our Private-Lands.
We worked hard, saved for years; researched areas in Oro (which we care for dearly),
and made inquiries as to where potential land-value increases & development plans may
be most likely, based on many factors. We avoided all farm or E.P. lands, though more
affordable_ We would never have considered buying lands zoned "parkland". Finally we
selected premium, costly, lovely land in close proximity to a village, existing development
and/or resort. Both parcels were appropriately zoned and unsuited to agricultural uses.
This was a significant financial burd.en that we were willing to undertake to secure the
future of our young family, enjoy the country & invest in Oro. For twenty years we have
worked hard to maintain, nurture, pay taxes and build a home here. "Oro is our home"
Original inquiries to Township, Clerks and Reeve Drury (prior to finalizing purchases),
assured us these lands could be possible for future development considerations, building
permits allowed, and school-bus service_ On later follow-up we were told a very different
story; parcel. Line 5 N. now presenting an obstacle that had previously been dismissed
Township staff later concurred however, that our zoning and location did not prevent
development consideration, and when we were ready, our proposals would be considered
as we had been given earlier assurances of that consideration by The Township; our
lands were not agricultural and were situated in growth-areas. We never planned high-
density concepts but did want some options-available to us in the future. Even minor
development however requires extensive professional-input and to date this has been too
costly for us to undertake. It remains part of our future family plans, goals and dreams.
Our long-term family plans are to continue residing and investing in Oro-Medonte.
Current broad-stroke proposals may prevent honourable family goals from being
realized for some taxpayers on this Moraine and its overflawing- boundaries & criterion,
and perhaps put an abrupt end to all financial investment in Oro-Medonte_ Private land
ownership/stewardship, no longer seems valued, valid nor viable here. Who will invest in
land without any potential for gain, or if it is zoned "sensitive-significant" (parkland)!
Value-d.epleting terms. "Oro-Medonte will become the place NOT to be", An "exciting
future ".- doubtfuL! Oro-Medonte will serve visitors, renters and trespassers well, at
the expense of existing landowners, builders of dreams, and entrepreneurs.
" Free parkland for all; provided bv the private. lante landowners of Oro-Medonte. "
~o-J
..b Horseshoe Valley Corridor Studies & subsequent land-freeze,threatened the potential
for our land-use. We worked hard to ensure our land was not included in the areas being
restricted for future development. Conversing then. with some of these same consultants
and planners of today. we were assured that not having our boundaries included in the
restricted-corridor was prudent, leaving us more potential for varied. future land-use
options. As there was no viable reason for The Township to include our land into the
freeze-zone; our land remained "outside the new restricted-boundary". Our purpose
always, was to preserve the ability and option to develop our land, in some way, in the
future, (subject to site-plan criterion). Our efforts & those assurances of that ability
being secured, are threatened again by a new over-zealous plan. "The Corridor", a
huge/costly study may no longer even be relevant. What assurances can be relied upon??
As Private Land Owners, we are already burdened and comply with many bylaws,
zoning restrictjons, environmental regulations, permits, fees,. taxes and a wide range of
rules affecting what we can and cannot do, on, or with our lands. We respect these as
generally necessary but often extreme. Most property owners are responsible and care
greatly about land use and the environment where they reside, own land and pay taxes.
As Private Land Owners, we now realize that ownership in Oro-Medonte may soon have
no rights to govern, manage, nurture, build, develop or profit (a bad-word}, from such
financial investment. This starts a perilous down ward-spiral in this country.
Long- held work ethics and pride of "ownership" are being eroded
The power of Municipalities, Provinces, or Federal Agencies to arbitrarily drasticallv re-
structure zoning, regulations, impose restrictions on large or small tracts of Private Land
based on "consultant-studies" that do change with the winds of time, or with popular
issues of the day, or with the tastes of changing-elected officials, will make ownership
futile & destroy incentive to be tax-payers/contributors. The uncertainty, responsibility-
liability of ownership investment, will soon out-weigh the long term, hoped-for goals of
benefits, if these goals are constantly challenged or threatened, by agencies/consultants,
and persons often not directlv or even indirectlv affected bv their ardent proposals.
Generally persons who own property, cottages or homes are superior caretakers of their
environment, as they have a heavy financial-stake, an attachment and pride in ownership_
Surelv we are entitled to some control over the destiny of our privatelv-owned lands.
Canadian-born, I have read of countries where state-ownership and rules, preclude
private-ownership. History shows that pride of ownership, incentive to invest and family
financial-planning ceased Despair, laziness and despondency replaced motivation and
work ethics. Excessive government control deters personal goals and destroys our spirit.
It is noble, generous, possibly even tax-advantageous for those able or willing to donate
land for preservation in This Moraine. It is not however the "reality" of most hard-
working owners who toil their entire life to acquire property in an area of choice for a
certain family lifestyle, financial security, and to ensure a legacy for their offspring-
1.:.. It is also noble, so generous of those NOT owning land in this new Moraine
designation, to support restrictive proposals to preserve thousands of acres, of
pristine-parklands for outsiders to visit, enjoy without contribution, work, taxes,
investment, upkeep, insurance/liabilities or worry. Simply enjoy the benefits.
We may also support such proposals if our investments and-financial security were not at
stake in Oro-Medonte lands, which were not designated as "sensitive-significant" by
unrealistic- scales to determine "sensitive" areas, nor being decided upon by extreme
Studies, when we made these land purchases. Who would ever (knowingly) invest in such
lands? No warnings were attached, no restrictions or agreements entered into; just
assurances of a strongfuture, wisely invested in progressive "Oro ", who promised great
opportunity. We held-up our end of that commitment by paying taxes, insurance, planting,
protecting land, hard work, respecting others' rights! properties. and being good citizens.
Our parcels are being ckfined "sensitive ", by outrageously all-encompassing criterion.
We note, 3,500, dwell on the Moraine. What size property do most own? Are some
renters, time-share, seasonal residents? *How manv owners ofoarcels ne1!ativelv
affected bv these oroposals. are there? *Thoufh verv few in numbers. votes. & without
rate-payer or other associations to represent us: are we beinl! heard and considered in
the context of the larl!er size of our individual land holdinl!s in Oro-Medonte?
It is offensive to suggest that financial gain expectations are not moral or appropriate
reward of property ownership, nor warrant consideration in this process. We believe
every recent purchaser of every tiny-lot in adjacent or nearby Adult Lifestyle/Golf Resort
Communities, nodes, have great expectation of financial gain on their investment. *Such
fain potential for them is enhanced remarkablv. manv fold. if nearbv laree land.owners
are prevented from altering their own vacant land in anv way. These new communities
can then continue to enjoy big open spaces, trails, trees, tranquility at no cost to them-
selves, though they each only purchased/invested in very small lots in densely ckveloped
pockets where trees are cut to crowd-in houses, decks, driveways; eliminating much of
the rural character. Thev have "theirs". now no one else should have anything. "NIMBY"
Significant-landowners are now being expected to provide free landmass, as "pristine
untouchable land" to offset congestion in full-amenity, quasi-rural style communities and
to preserve every inch of this Moraine and its extentkd boundaries; at our expense.
Some sanctimonious factions, while now asserting that the Moraine should no longer be
disturbed, have themselves contributed profoundly to its' harm, by purchasing homes in
clear-cut subdivisions and supporting more clear-cutting for expanding golf-courses.
These professed, "tree-huggers/environmentalists", bought homes where mature trees
are still being cut to allow more amenities, sports & sunshine. Chemicals are used on
golf courses and lawns, and natural Moraine rocks are disturbed/relocated for lawn
ornamentation, even dismantling old farm stonewalls, from nearby lands. Large rocks
have been dislodgedlremovedfrom our interior stone row fence, leaving damage; we
have stopped people from pillaging others' walls, admittedly to use in the subdivision.
~ o-J1
()-
4. Continuous growth of these huge, crowded projects spoil the natural character and
health of the Moraine. We are not asking to repeat that. We simply want to protect our
right to be considered on merit, as we were assured, should we present a viable small-
scale plan. Ifwe wanted E.P. land, that's what we'd have bought. We chose premium
land as we were told it had the potential for future building- proposals to be approved
Proud landowners on this Moraine, often generations, broke their backs, invested heavily
"creating" these forests being defined "significant-sensitive". Many thinned, planted and
cared for these lands, and are now being told our lands are so "significant", they should
become untouchable-parks, for the benefit of all, rendering them useless, without other
value_ ,!vforaine beauty is in part due to the hard work/stewardship of these landowners.
As longtime, serious advocates of the environment, the rural character of Oro-Medonte,
trees, wildlife, waterwtrys and conservation; recent nearby, crowded communities offend
our sensibilities to all those natural things. Impact of pesticide, fertilizer, watering, golf-
course maintenance, traffic, cart paths, driving range-lots, are detrimental to the terrain.
Everyone however has rights, even if1J!J!... don't agree with their goal or lifestyle, we would
not obstruct reasonable plans, nor do we feel that U our vision" must be arbitrated on all
others. . Everyone makes choices. We preferred to work hard to acquire large properties,
as we cherish this rural character and have no wish to damage it. We also have rights.!
We simvlv cannot "offer-up" our land to preserve every acre of Moraine characteristics.
In spite of signs and due to its expanse, our land is imposed on by trespassers, adjacent
and nearby residents, hikers, snowmobilers, firewood seekers, horseback riders, trail
bikes and has truck-loads of debri dumped on it. It seems unjust we have only (one) vote
for our large acreage, yet small-lots can rally together hundreds of comments/votes,
Studies may be conducted/approved by people unaffected by their broad determinations,
or who mtry not own any land, or significant land on this Moraine. This proposal is over-
bearing/zealous, unrealistic, too inclusive, restrictive, and extreme. It infringes on rights
of landowners, This is CANADA; supposedly we are still a free-nation where hard work
and land ownership has been encouraged and has been the corner stone of our greatness.
It is unjust, unwise in the long term, for zealots (of any cause), to have power to squelch
hopes, dreams, financial security of hard-working taxpayers who have invested futures in
this Township (or any other). To have all possibility of opportunity for gain or advance-
ment for private landowners arbitrarily stripped, for huge-tracts, without consideration
of various individual situations/circumstances, even for those with no aspirations of
change or development; is undemocratic. socialistic and unwarranted Every owner has
rights. *Those not owning Moraine land should not have a major voice.
Those benefiting from proposed-restrictions, without suffering any loss from them,
should not be able to be major proponents in decision. Their motive must be recognized
for that of enhancing their own property-values, while trying to restrict others' right to
do so. Those large landowners' hurt bv proposals. deserve a strong voice & reconwense
~o -~a
5.
mgid changes based on varied studies, often at the discretion of a few, may virtually
render land-awnership worthless and severely impact how people assess investing in
property. The fundamental essence of being a Canadian is the freedom to work hard,
acquire property (should that be your dream), invest in this country in that manner
(rather than takingfree-rid.es or hand-outs), plan to be selfreliant &flnancially secure
for future generations. The "free-ride attitude" may become even more attractive than it
is now, if ownership-incentive is destroyed Who will care for and maintain land?
What will become of Municipal, Provincial and Federal tax bases? Who pays??
Over-zealous plans to control private land-use and the environment, may undermine that.
A moderate, sensible, respectful, conservative approach with realistic, balanced goals
for preservation, while recognizing rights of landowners. may be more democratic.
Property owners' do value erwironmental-protection of their lands, lives and of future
generations. Changing "Studies" may try to apply a few persons' will, standards, and
visions on all others while also promoting and generating endless, costly studies.
Extremism creates backlash, yet those of us with the most to lose have the least amount of
input. Perhaps ask for the moon (oIl of Oro-Medonte), and hope for the stars. In the
interim, those damaged by such radical proposals/ studies are tested, their confidence in
'Yairness" shattered, their will worn-down. They feel they can 't fight city hall. How can
we continue to invest in land, or feel secure if we lose control, and rules changed on us.
Local planning-d.ecisions are still condensingfamilies into small localized, . congested lots
in nodes & Horseshoe, creating urban density. What about those preferring country-
spaces? Many wish to own a 5/10/25 acre country parcel; not be herded into crowded
sub-divisions. Some want to own their larger "space". not rely on using/enjoying others.
Blanket-concepts for thousands of acres may cause loss of hopes, goals of many land-
owner/families & diminish the economy of Oro-Medonte forever, It may remain a lovely
Moraine for outsiders to enjoy. "We've been expecting you", may attract guests, tres-
passers, campers, but not investors. These proposals brush a broad, very heavy-handed
stroke on 42,000 acres, some owned by conscientious, hard workers, who deserve better.
The architects of these over-zealous definitions and criterion should step-back and
analyze the bigger-picture, in "real-life terms". What is the possible long range negative
impact onfamilies and The Township_ Thev seem unable to see the "trees for the forest_ "
The "trees" may represent the hard-working people who have groomed, nurtured, paid-
for, often planting the "forests" (Who all now enjoy free)
----'-Proud heritage, frightening future.
\.vb - ~ \

We are being presented an academic over-reaction to bona-fide goals of being
ecologically-environmentally sensitive and prudent. This overly ambitious proposal to a
plan with some genuine merit serves to cause fear, resentment and discouragement to
those already doing their best to be diligent in caring for their land. Protect !!;!.in these
proposals. Too much of even a "good" thing. is sometimes simplv just too much.
Good intentions. if impractical. are often wrong.
Some major landowners may not have been adequately notified, or explained the serious
negative impact these proposals may have an their land. There are not many larger land-
holders. As very busy hardworking folks, we were totally unaware of a committee formed
18 months ago (we tried to be informed). We realize this is not the first time land-use
change or regulations have been enacted on private lands. These current proposals how-
ever are huge, severe, permanent, and need to be contemplated in the overall future of
this beautiful Township. Oro will NOT be the place to be. except as a visitor!
Those having only invested in a small single-lot near or on The Moraine, those having
nothing invested in Oro, tOOse directly benefiting from the proposal & those far from the
topic-area; as we have heard, will of course "applaud" thisproposal and be vocal, well
organized in their endorsement of its' restrictive all-encompassing rules. "for others"
If we have misumkrstood the negative ramifications to our lands, from this proposal, we
would welcome explanation/discussion of the benefits (should there be any), and
assurances of those benefits. We would be pleased to meet with each of you at your
convenience, should you wish. We did not think it fair to take "public-meeting" time to
discuss our own, somewhat unique situation, and felt Mr. McDonald would likely curtail
any lengthy talk on individual circumstances. Other owners did express similar concerns.
You have a serious, difficult, permanent d.ecision to make. It will affect the nature and
revenues of this Township forever. We hope you have all facts for deliberation and will
look beyond contemporary, transient-studies and act with common sense and wisdom.
Most sincerely and respectfully, we thank you for your time and understanding.

Re. Draft OfficIal Plan Amendment - Oro Moraine and Aggregate Resource Policies
Township of Oro-Medonte
Dear Sirs.:
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the Township of Oro-Medonte's
Draft Official Plan Amendment (OPA), including specifically the Mineral Aggregate
Resource Policies. further to our comments at the Public Meeting on June 3. 2003, we
provide the following comments regarding the draft OP A for your consideration:
1. The draft OP A does not have regard for the Provincial POlicy Statement (PPS) that
states, "A5 much of the mineral aggregate resourc€'s as is realistically possible will
be made avoilable to supply mineral resource needs, as close to markets os
possible";
2. The draft OP A restricts occess to provincially significant aggregate resource~
based on existing conditions (e.g.. existing haul routes) and !ocally significant
natural heritage features (e.g_, woodlands);
3. The draft OP A does not achieve an appropriate balance betvveen protection of
provincially significant aggregate resources and significant natural heritag€
features based on area calculations;
4. There should be no attempt at prioritization of aggregate resources on the Oro
Moraine as proposed by 'the "Mineral Aggregate (Licence") and "Mineral
Aggregate (Potential)" designations. The existing Official Plan designation
"Mineral Aggregate Resources" should remain;
5. Based on the criteria used to designate lands "Natura! Core/Corridor Area",
sufficient evidence has not been given to warrant the exclusion of aggregate
extraction in Natura! Core/Corridor Areas, Amendments to the Official Plan to
estoblish new mineral aggregate operations on the Oro Moraine should be
permitted for lands located within the "Natural Core/Corridor Area" designation.
We are disappointed that the comments that the Aggregate Producers' Association of
Ontario provided to the Oro Moraine and Aggregate Resource Working Group on
numerous occasions have not been adequately incorporated into the draft OPA. In our
opinion. the draft OPA needs major re-drafting in order to achieve on appropriate
balance between the protection of provincially significant non-renewable mineral
aggregate resources and significant natural heritage features on the Oro Moraine.

The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) provided the fallowing information to the
Aggregate Resources Working Group (Woeller. February 7. 2003):
1. In the existing Official Pion, only 3.7% of the lands in the Ora Moraine Area ore
currently identified as having high potential for future extraction;
2. The Natural Heritage Evaluation of the Oro Moraine identified that 43% of the Oro
Moraine is designated os Core Area;
3. Approximately 1-2% of the Core Area has also been identified as having high
potential for aggregate extraction,
The numbers clearly indicate that 0 balance has not been struck between mineral
aggregate resources and natural heritage features on the Ora Moraine. We ask that the
Township please provide us with the final areas for each land use designation in the draft
OPA so that we can determine the final area of land designated as "Mineral Aggregate
(licence") and "Mineral Aggregate (potential)" on the Oro Moraine.
A review of the existing Official Plan indicates that significant portions of lands previously
designated os "Mineral Aggregote Resources" in the Official Plan have been re-
designated 0$ "Natural Core/Corridor Area" in the draft OPA based on natural heritage
features that are not provincially significant. such os woodlands. This down zoning of
mineral aggregate reserves has effectively sterilized aggregate resources on the Oro
moraine since the draft OP A states in Section C 12.4.3 that.. Amendments to the Official
Plan will not be considered for any portion of the subject lands that are located within
the Oro Moraine Core/Corridor Area designation."
The long-term protection of significant mineral aggregate resources is also compromised
by proposed policies that limit mineral aggregate designation to lands that can only be
accessed by roads that currently function as haul routes. Any attempt to plan and
manage aggregote resource extraction based on existing haul routes is short-sighted
and does not inherently recognize that aggregate resources ore geographically limited
and non-renewable. Haul routes can be designed, built and maintained to limit impacts
on surrounding residents and communities and should not be a limiting factor in
determining the potential for aggregate resource land use.
The draft OP A is not progressive and does not permit opportunities for habitat creation
and enhancement. There is no recognition in the draft OPA Aggregate Resource
Policies that mineral aggregate production is on interim land use and through
progressive and final rehabilitation required under the Aggregate Resources Act,
aggregate properties can be rehabilitated to create natural core and corridor habitats.
In 2001. licenced aggregate sites in the Township of Oro-Medonte produced only 20% of
the total aggregate produced in the County of Simcoe and only 1.5% of the total
produced in the province of Ontario (The Ontario Aggregate Resources Corporation,
Statistical Update 2001). Contrary to some public expressions of interest. the Oro Moraine
is not a major supplier of aggregates at a provincial level and not even at the County
level. It is an important supplier of aggregates to the local construction industry and
protection of this finite resource is essential for the continued growth in Ihe local and
regional economy.

Dear 1. Neil Craig, Mayor of Oro-Medonte:
This letter concerns the proposed by-law change to allow motocross racing on the farm on the
corner of the 2nd line ofOro-Medonte and the Old Barrie Road. A number of residents, living in
close proximity to the property applying for the change, attended the Planning Advisory Committee
meeting on Tuesday, June 17th. We were hoping to obtain some insight as to how these matters
would be deliberated by the Committee. At the end of.the meeting, we were very disheartened and
quite disappointed that the concerns of those of us who live in the area were basically ignored, or at
best, played down. We don't feel the planning consultant fairly represented the information presented
at the public meeting held on the evening of May 21st. He seemed to be somewhat biased in his
report, favouring the people proposing the bylaw change. Weare writing this letter in an attempt to
bring to your attention, not only our concerns, but also those of the majority of residents in the
vicinity, We admit we have a bias; we have chosen to settle in Oro-Medonte because of the beauty
and tranquility of the area and we resent having to curtail outdoor activities for four summer
weekends because of horrific noise. We are also fearful that something that starts as temporary, will
shortly, become permanent. This is exactly how the Springwater motocross facility started.
At the meeting on the 17th, throughout the planning consultant's report, he continually downplayed
the affect of the noise of the motocross racing and also misrepresented some of the facts. Last
summer there were 4 scheduled events not 2, as the consultant claimed, and each of these events
lasted for 2 days, not 1. Further in his presentation, he stated that each event would take place on 1
day, \;Vith up to 4 events per year. I think its pretty ch~ar that there definitely will be 4 events and
that, as last summer, they take place over the weekend, meaning that irritating noise pollution will
occur on 8 days during our best summer months. It is hard to believe the consultant's claim of
balance in his presentation when in fact, some of his words were almost identical to those used by
the promoter of the motocross event at the public meeting.
In his presentation the planning consultant didn't acknowledge the large number of people who
attended the public meeting and were opposed to the bylaw change. In fact, there was only one
couple, other than the proponent, who was in favour of the motocross at that meeting. This planning
consultant is not interested in hearing both sides of the argument; this was very obvious when we
could not even get him to return our phone call after three attempts. Weare puzzled as to why he is
allowed to be in the position of presenting both sides of the argument, when in fact, he does not.
\
\.y ~ -::t
What does it take to have an impact on this issue? There were over 50 families within a 2 km radius
of the farm who have signed petitions and written letters complaining about the noise pollution and
other issues. One of planning consultant's recommendations to the committee was that there be even
more races, so that the proponent can hire a noise consultant to test noise levels using a machine. As
you mentioned in response to this, the noise changes from day to day and so this would still not be
an ac~urate assessment of noise. Weare also suspect t.hat a hired consultant would hardly give an
unfavourable report to the person paying their fee. We don't need a machine - there are 50 taxpaying
families who are telling him it is too loud. The planner deflects this by suggesting that noise levels
are subjective, but what does it matter, for the fact is the people in the surrounding area feel it is too
loud, Why does he find it necessary to minimalize our complaints?
There will be no financial benefit for either the township or the residents in allowing motocross
racing on this farm. One of the guidelines for a temporary bylaw change is that the proposed activity
be in harmony with the surrounding area and this is, obviously, not the case. The only reason for
permitting this bylaw change, according to the planner, is to allow these children and young adults a
chance to practice their sport. There are already 15 motocross event parks in southern Ontario
(including BurIe's Creek Family Event Park nearby) and this would be the 16th. These events cause
great discomfort to many in the surrounding area. Maybe the motocross community should be
thinking about regulating the bikes and introducing mufflers, so that the noise wouldn't be so
horrific? Perhaps it is time, and Oro-Medonte the place, to say no to the unregulated noise in this
sport and the harm it causes to others.
As residents in Oro-Medonte making our voice heard is very frustrating. When talking to people in
the area they are very discouraged, as they feel they have no say in what happens in their community
and in general, they are very reluctant to come forward. Everyone in the area has spoken up to say
that the motocross does not belong on this farm and yet the planner, for whatever reason, keeps
insisting that it has many benefits. If this number of people voicing a complaint has no impact on his
recommendations - then what is even the point of having public meetings? We can only hope that
you and our other elected representatives will listen to our concerns.
Yours sincerely,

Township of Oro-Medonte
RE: ORO-MEOONJ"E OFJi'lClAL PLAN
Oro Moraine and Aggregate Resou.n:es
The intent of this letter is to inform the Township ofOro-Medonte of Cliff V areoe Limited's opposition to
the proposed Official Plan Amendment particularly with respect to the proposed policies regarding
aggregate extraction and development in the Oro Moraine Planning Area..
The proposed Amendment subjects Cliff Varcoe Limited to a competitive disadvantage
effectively eliminating our ability 10 acquire and develop aggregate resources within the Om
Moraine Planning Area. By limiting aggregate ex'1raction along only a few specified haul routes
the amount ofland available for development is oon.sidernbly lessened and places our company at
the whim of our competitors since there is no guan:w.t~ ~ tQ the specffiedhaulroutes across
neighbouring concessions. The result of these restrictions is to clearly direct the economic cost of
aggregate extraction 'Within Oro-Medonte beyond the point by which it woold naturally be
economically viable for CliffVarcoe Limited. Surely this can not be the intent of the Official Plan
Amendment?
In restricting aggregate extraction to such a small area of the Om Moraine Planning Area no
provision has been made to effectively safeguard the existence of a Provincially and Regionally
important resource. Present areas of extraction cannot be used to predict the presence oflarge
deposits of aggregate and certainly not the amount that will be required to sustain the economic
gro\\1h of the surrounding area including the Greater Toronto Area. Most aggregate producers are
presently having great difficulty in meeting the demands of the marketplace and. have had to turn
customers away. It is quite possible that the areas outlined for possible aggregate extraction
contain no viable aggregate whatsoever while neighbouring areas 'which may contain viable
aggregate are to be removed from possibility. The effect of these restrictions ~ill be to unnaturaUy
increase the cost of aggregate for the consumer. Again surely this can not be the intent of the
Official Plan Amendment?
We do not believe that enough good scientific evidence exists to support the wholesale restriction
on aggregate extraction ",ithin the Om Moraine Planning Area on the basis of the biological
evidence alone_ Further the present state of geological knowledge with respect to aggregate
detection within the Om Moraine Planning Area is not detailed enough to accmately predict the
existence of the resource with any certainty_
It is the hope of CliffVarcoe Limited that upon further review of the Official Plan. Amendment
the Township ofOro-Medonte will enact changes to reflect its shortchangings.

To Whom It May Concern:
We attended last nights meeting of the Planning Advisory Committee regarding
the applications for the bylaw change to allow motocross events on the property
located on the S.E. corner of County Road 11 and Concession 2.
To say we were disappointed would be an understatement. Where were the
council members who were to discuss the above situation? From what I was told
there were 3 councillors and 5 civilians - discussion? What discussion. All that I
heard was the planner give his spiel.
· How can he compare the noise of a multitude of bikes to chain saws,
tractors and lawn mowers
· How is it possible that it won't be a strain on municipal services, especially
garbage
· How can he say there will be no increased traffic? Perhaps, he should be
in our part of the township when there is an event at Hardwood Hills has
an event
Another point that we noted was that whether or not the council gives the go
ahead or not, the proponent plans on going ahead anyway, letting family and
friends race on the existing track. How many friends does the proponent have?
In closing, I would like to thank Paul Marshall for his support and for chairing the
meeting, and to Janice Butler and Walter Bachinski for keeping the neighbours
informed.

Township of Oro-Medonte - Proposed Official Plan Amendment
Re: Oro Moraine and Aggregate Resource Policies
Report PD-03-040
Recommendation
THAT this report be received and a copy forwarded to the Township of Oro-Medonte.
BackQround
Oro-Medonte Township is currently considering a major Official Plan Amendment to
address the policy framework around the protection of the Oro Moraine and to refine its
policies on aggregate resources. Their current Official Plan dates from 1997 and it
appears that the proposed amendment has also incorporated their required five-year
review into the process.
Most of the proposed changes to the existing document are either organizational or
represent a refinement of an existing policy direction, with particular emphasis on
environmental protection. The most significant changes can be summarized as follows:
1. Specific population estimates and projections are identified. In 2001 there were
19,000 permanent residents with an estimated additional 6,000 seasonal residents
in the Township. By 2023, the population is expected to increase by 8,000 to 10,000
people.
2. An "Oro Moraine Planning Area" is designated, accompanied by related policies
directed at protecting its character, natural heritage features and its importance as a
groundwater recharge area. The net effect of the new policy framework is to restrict
the potential for new development or areas of aggregate extraction on the Moraine.
3. The Amendment proposes new sections on "Environmental Objectives", "Watershed
Planning" and" Tree Preservation and Planting".
The existing land use designations outside of the Oro Moraine Planning Area are
unaffected and the existing restrictions on development adjacent to Crillia's boundaries
are maintained.
Policv Impact
There is no apparent policy impact on the City.

Financial Impact
(P6-J
There is no apparent financial impact on the City.
Summary
There are two basic aspects to the Official Plan Amendment being proposed by Oro-
Medonte. The substantive changes are directed at protecting the natural heritage features
of the Township, particularly those found on the Oro Moraine and protection of the Moraine's
function as a groundwater recharge area. The other proposed changes are largely
'housekeeping' measures, many of them relating to the organization of the document, and
result from an effort to emphasize the importance of environmental considerations in the
Township's planning. There appears to be nothing in the document which gives cause for
concem on the part of the City.

An Open Letter To The Members of Council
The Township of Oro-Medonte
RE: Proposed Temporary Use By-La\\! #P149/03
I
I' JIJN 2 4 2003'
ORO-MEDO
~'
lrr\-~
As landowners immediately adjacent to the property for \vhich the above application has
been made, we have previously submitted our written objections to the development of
this location as a mota-cross track. In addition, we reiterated our opposition at the Public
Meeting held on 'Ved. 1V1ay 21, 2003 were it was immediately apparent to us that an
extremely large number of residents of the area shared our belief that this proposed use
was not a compatible endeavour in the agricultural zoning designation of the Official
Plan. Indeed, with the exception of the two neighbour/friends of the applicant, the people
at the meeting were unanimously opposed to its approval in any fonn. \Vhereas, races
were pennitted last year without any public input into the acceptability of a molo-cross
track at this location; this \vas the frrst time that the tax paying public has had an
opportunity to speak in opposition to a moto-cross operation that wi1l prevent the
peaceful use of their property. Also records of the minutes show that there were many
letters as well as petitions from other residents to support the public opposition to this
application.
Therefore, it was extremely surprising to us that vvhen we attended the" I\I1eeting of the
Planning Advisory Conunittee", we witnessed an obviously extremely biased verbal
presentation by the temporary planner engaged by the township. It \vas very apparent to
the citizens in attendance that the planner was attempting to influence the members of the
committee to approve this application in some fotm ralher than an outright denial. One
would have expected that the township planner would have fully reviewed with the
Conunittee the Land Use and Zoning By-Laws of the Official Plan in respect to their
relevance to this application and temper his remarks to a more neutral position.
Following are just a few' of the obviously biased statements (paraphrased) made in the
planners presentation:
You know iv1.r Grahmn and his fami(v )vill continue to use this track whether or not you
approve it.
There was on~v one complaint about this track operating last ).'ear.
(lvlaybe only one written complaint but there were many telephone complaints.)
Noise is arbitrmy thing. some people are bothered by it more than others depending on
your background.
( This statement seemed to indicate that the planner felt that the residents in the area were
overreacting to the amount of noise and that their complaints \vcre unfounded.)
2/
The application is for up to four events per .vear for up to three ,years.
These are only one-day events.
(Although the events are scheduled for one weekend at a time; if the event is rained out,
the promoter reschedules the event for an altemate vveekend date. Potentially, they could
effect eight weekends out of the summer and the sUlTounding residents would be unable
to plan any weekends that they be assured of some tranquility. Pat1icipants anive on
Saturday and set up their bikes and then race on Sunday. Noise is evident both days.)
We have receivedjust as many letters and petitions infavour of approving this
application.
(Apparently, the promoter has solicited support from his moto-cross riders. Only those
supp0l1ers who are actual tax paying citizens of Oro-I\i1edonte Township really' have any
standing in this application.)
FVe need this track to provide a i::teilityfor our young bike riders. Better that they be
doing this rather than being out on the streets.
(TIns promoter has fifteen other operating locations in Ontario, In addition, another
moto-cross facility ah'eady exists not more than tlu'ee miles away at the R J MOtOSp0l1
(Fanington property) 1655 Old Second South concession road in Springwater Twp.
I:vloto-cross events are routinely held at this location creating noise heard miles away.
Within the Township ofOro-Medonte moto-cross facilities ah'eady exist at Burl's Creek
Family Event Park. This location is properly zoned for such events and has full camping
and sanitation facilities.)
There 'rvillnot be any real increase in traffic: they will exit out onto the side road not the
county' road.
(The Old Banie Road is already a heavily travelled thoroughfare especially on the
weekends when it is routinely used as a bypass for h\vy 11. An increase in traffic
accessing the county road at the second concession which meets it in the middle of an S
tum will result in accidents.)
The applicant has had an environmental assessment done.
(The planner claims that the applicant hired an envirorunental fi111l to do an assessment.
Whether or not this is a full E.I.S. has not been conlllmed to the public. Due to the cost
factor of such an assessment it is highly unlikely that the applicant has gone to this
expense. Only a full study would assure local residents and the township that there \vill
not be damage to the envirorunent.
Additionally, no \\-Titten report \vas available at the Planning Advisory Meeting to
COnlmn any comments from either the County of Simcoe or the Nottawasauga Valley
Conservation Authority.

N.B: The Planning Act of Ontario specificallv reQuires that a complete circulation
must be made to all governmental agencies having iurisdiction 20 days prior to any
public meeting dealing with applications of this nature. \Ve have been in contact
with Mr Tim Sarkeld of the NVCA and have been advised that thev were not
included in the original circulation and that as oftodav (June23/03), thel' still have
not received a copy of the application, and therefore have been unable to make any
comments. This area of the township drains into the Nottawasauga RiverflVlinesing
Swamp and therefore very definitely falls within the cont,'ol of the NVCA. It is our
understanding that a recirculation must be done before this application can
proceed otherwise it is in fact a breach ofthe Planning Act.)
In conclusion, Mr Graham, the applicant, has constructed this racetrack without prior
public input or township approvals and now seeks to legitimize it. l\.rea residents should
not be forced to endure the noise and traffic that a moto-cross track would create. This
application represents a dangerous precedent that if approved in any fonn will continue to
haunt future councils and the public in the area for years to come. \Ve ask that as the
elected representatives for the taxpayers of the Township of Oro-Medonte that you
respect the Official Plan and the voice of the majority and not approve this application.
Yours Respectfully,

THE ROYAL VICTORIA HOSPITAL OF BARRIE
201 Georgian Drive, Barrie, Ontario UM 6M2
CHAIR'S REPORT
ANNUAL MEETING
JUNE 10, 2003
Our friend, and often quoted Mr. Webster of Dictionary fame, defines 'heroism' as-
"showing the make-up of a hero, great strength and ability, a person admired for
their achievements and qualities".
Ladies and Gentlemen, to me, although bricks, mortar, glass and steel can't be classified in this
manner, it is indeed an accurate description of your hospital as an institution.
It is also an excellent description of each and every RVH team member, including volunteers,
who work hard to make this highly specialized medical facility tick like a fine swiss watch.
I am confident I can speak for each member of our Board of Directors in saying all of us are not
only proud but privileged to be a small part of this finely tuned operation,
This past year has truly seen heroics of the highest order from our staff, Unfortunately, it took
the S.A.R.S. situation to really spotlight these unselfish qualities. We all know our people rank
among the very best,. but to take up positions on the front line without hesitation against a
mysterious and potentially deadly enemy in defence of their community is certainly what I would
call heroic, and the heros were numerous throughout Royal Victoria's ranks. Let me name four
standouts who were really the battlefield generals, Chief of Staff, Dr. Brent Elsey, backed up by
Dr. Mike MUITay and Dr. Don DuVall; they led the clinical charge. Our Vice President, Patient
Care Services, Kirsten Krull-Naraj, fronted the operational side. Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome (S.A.R.S.) lost the fight at RVH because of the leadership shown by these people, and
because of the outstanding backing they enjoyed from their officer corps and front line troops.
Outstanding! The S.A.R.S. experience taught us a great deal and let us break in our brand new
auditorium as the major briefing centre for hospital staff. Our Board Room became the "War
Room", and I am told, because of what we learned, we can put this 'fighting machine' back into
operation quickly if, and when, the need arises. That was one battle fought and our warriors
definitely came out with a chest full of medals.
The battle with S.A.R.S. will have a long term effect on all of us at RVH. It will also have a
profound effect on the ways health care will be delivered in the future in terms of hospital design
facilities that will be required to cope with ever changing conditions and evolving techniques for
treatment.
.
Chair's Report
RVH Annual meeting
June 10, 2003

The other major campaign we are in now is to redevelop our hospital and build a new cancer
center on the campus of RVH. The people of RVH, at every level, have a reputation of coming
out on top and I am betting with our help, and that of our community, that they will wrack up
another success with these two major projects. We are now putting the final touches on the
revised new cancer care facilities in the current hospital which now occupies the area which was
the old auditorium. These changes are making a difference in our basic ability to deliver these
life saving and life prolonging services.
Another new service which we have received funding for is the development of a "District
Stroke Centre" at RVH. Our reputation for excellence in our rehabilitation work was quite likely
a prominent factor in paving the way for this new service at Royal Victoria, another quantum
leap forward in the delivery of an acutely required medical service.
In addition to this brand new service, we have also been asked to become the regional centre for
addictions outreach for SimcoeN ork. I often wondered what the almighty dollar has to do with
our health, now I know the answer. In my experience over the years with the Board of Royal
Victoria Hospital, I have learned that money has everything to do with our health and our ability
to deliver health care. It is an unfortunate reality but a reality we must live with. Still, despite
this sometime elusive resource we should be proud of the reputation Royal Victoria Hospital has
earned on this battleground as well. Our current base funding from the Ministry is $90.5 million,
With this figure and what we generate on our own, we run the health care programs pennitted by
the resources we have, but demand and patient needs show a minimum of $22.5 million in
additional government funding is required in order to meet the rapidly expanding wishes of one
of the nation's fastest growing cities.
An eighth operating room is an obvious necessity, Our special care nursery is in dire need of
expansion, and in addition to these obvious projects there are a host of other high priority and
required expansions. The dollar and availability of financial resources, this is the key. Even if
we do not go into these projected expansions of services and facilities, we are estimating a deficit
of $12.5 million to continue with the programs now in place and the increased activities within
them. I should note this estimate of a $12.5 million dollar deficit is not reflecting any new
funding arrangements the government may announce.
Let me consider just for a moment our future, The mist is still swirling in our crystal ball and it
is a challenging job seeing clearly what lies ahead, but, as I noted earlier, the personnel at Royal
Victoria are a dedicated and detennined lot and they will keep on with everything it takes to
bring to reality the logical redevelopment of the facility to protect our community's medical
future, and to get funding and pennission to build a regional cancer centre on the campus of
RVH,
In my opinion, the momentum is with us. We just have to make sure the mechanisms are
continually wound tight to keep the pendulum swinging. We have excellent planning strategies
and architectural drawings based on the obvious medical needs of the community and what must
be done to achieve them. It is our job to keep the pressure on to get this critical job done.
.. Chair's Report
R VB Annual meeting
June 10, 2003

Weare faced with the realities of doctor and nurse shortages just as other communities are, but the big
difference I see between 'us' and 'them' is the fact that at Royal Victoria we initiate action to meet
these challenges head on.
We now have a physician recruitment coordinator on staff who takes an aggressive position in terms of
recruitment. In the past six months we have had six doctors join our community and seek privileges at
RVH. This is progress, this is commitment, this is dedication in the face of difficult times by all at
Royal Victoria Hospital.
I had the privilege recently of attending a government "third party review", a new process whereby the
Ministry strives to assess the various facilities with their analysis of what we are doing. I am delighted
to report, and I got the distinct impression, they learned a great deal from what we do.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I conclude my report with a note of appreciation to my fellow board members.
We learn we add what we can, and during the course of our terms in office I sincerely believe we
contribute significantly to making our shared home ground a better, safer and healthier place to live
and raise our families, and at the same time I pass on the commendation of this board to each
individual staff member and volunteer who make our hospital "tick like a fine swiss watch".
Let me also take just a moment to quote Mr. Winston Churchill. I chose this quote and this gentleman
because I don't believe I could be as eloquent as he in thanking once again our RVH volunteers. He
said
"We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give".
The gifts of time from our RVH volunteers really do make 'life' so much better for so many of our
patients. It is a source of pride, a privilege, and an honour for me to be able to serve this community
with you.
Thank you.
Ladies and Gentlemen, you will find enclosed with my report the financial statements, the auditor's
report, and other items of business of the hospital board which have been previously circulated. I
move their adoption and the adoption of this report. May I have a seconder. All in favour.
Thank you.

At'the April 12, 2000, Committee of the Whole meeting, Motion No. 18 amended the Proclamation
Policy to include "Pitch-In Canada Week".
Attached are the current Proclamation Policy, adopted June 14, 1995, and the Draft Proclamation

. .-.------
In 1991, the Mayor of the City of Hamilton was requested by the Hamilton
Gay and Lesbian Alliance (GALA) to proclaim a "Lesbian and Gay Pride
Week" in conjunction with a Festival they were hosting in that
community. The Mayor stated he would not issue the proclamation on the
following reasons: (1) It would cause the movement more harm than good;
(2) concern for vulnerable and sensitive members; (3) he did not believe
there would be a city consensus to support the proclamation; and (4) the
timing of the request was not right.
GALA filed a complaint with the ontario Human Rights Commission. The
Board of Inquiry found the Mayor did discriminate because of the sexual
orientation of the group.
ANALYSIS
There is no statutory basis for a Municipality to issue a proclamation
except for a Civic Holiday. Usually a proclamation is sought because it
would imply acceptance of a public interest or service that they are
performing, it would show an apparent sanction and support for what they
are doing, and would provide publicity for their event.
In light of this recent Human Rights Decision, municipalities are now
proceeding with caution, given the sensitivity of the circumstances.
Although the Township of Oro-Medonte does recei vemany requests for
proclamations, it is Council's desire that a policy now be established.
RECOMMENDATION
That the following draft resolution be adopted as policy:
THAT with the exception of those proclamations which have
previously received Council approval, the practice of
declaring Township proclamations will now cease.
Respectfully submitted,

MOTION #: DATE:
DATE: June 25, 2003
A request has been received for Council to consider waiving the rental fee of $ 12.00 dollars per hour for the
usage of the Ian Beard Community Hall from the Oro Hills Property Owners Association. The OHPOA has 2
meetings a year (spring and fall). A request has also been submitted by the Oro District Lions Club for Council
to consider waiving the fee of$ 48.00 dollars, for rental of the picnic shelter at the Bayview Memorial Park,
Wednesday evening June 18th for their traditional closing dinner meeting of the Lions year.
Council received a request from the Valley Bridge Club seeking consideration from Council for a subsidized
rate for the usage of the Ian Beard Community HalL The group meets every Monday evening, 7:00p.m. to
11 :00 p.m., and are subject to the $12.00 per hour rate.
Council directed staff to review these request and report back to Council with alternatives for their
deliberations.
On June 2nd, staff met with representatives from the Valley Bridge Club (Mf. Ralph Price and Mr. Ed Toll) to
discuss financial alternatives that could accommodate the Club's needs. Emanating from the meeting, the Club
has proposed an annual payment of $200.00 that would commence in January 2004. The Club has agreed to
increase their annual donations as membership grows.
To ensure fair and equitable treatment for all the Community Hall Users, staffhas reviewed other community
hall rental rates for comparison purposes. The Valley Bridge Club proposal would be in compliance with the
approved rental rates and policies being applied by the other municipally owned Community Hall Boards.
.
It is recommended that the Valley Bridge Club continue to utilized the facility at no cost for the balance ofthis
year and that the Council approve an annual fee in the amount of $200.00 commencing January 2004, subject to
an annual review with regards to the membership increase.
Due to the high volume of user groups requesting Council to waive rental fees, for the use of various municipal
facilities, staff investigated alternatives for Council consideration.
Some municipalities have set up a grant structure to assist Council when considering a request to waive a rental
"fee. With a standard grant application, the applicant would submit documentation to support their non-profit
status and supply a financial statement. This mechanism would eliminate the need for Council to waive rental
.fees for municipal facilities. In lieu Council would be considering a one time annual grant. The grant
application can be designed to capture information such as; who will benefit from the grant i.e. Oro-Medonte
residents. In theory, this would not be precedent setting.
Staffwill develop a draft application form for Council's review on June 25, 2003, to be distributed at the
meeting. It is further recommended that the Or Hills Property Owners and the Ora District Lions Club be
encouraged to file an application form for Council's deliberation.
1. That Council receives and adopts this report.
2. That the Valley Bridge Club be authorized to utilize the facility at no cost for the balance of this year.
3. That Council approve an annual fee in the amount of $200.00 for the use ofthe Beard Community Hall by
the Valley Bridge Club, effective January 2004.
4. That staff conduct an annual review with respect to Valley Bridge Club membership.
5. That Valley Bridge Club be advised accordingly.
6. That the Grant Application procedure be approved.
7. That the Ora-Hills and Ora District Lions Club be notified accordingly of the grant procedure and be
encouraged to submit a grant application.
Respectfully submitted,

Comments on the above.
1. Under Restoration I've listed those for whom we have clear documentation as to the efforts they went
to, to have restored the abandoned, crumbling church. I have heard of others who have said they were
also involved, but I think we have to go with whose for whom we have hard documentation.
2. The middle group Heritage and Maintenance is an awkward one. I'm not sure that this is the right title-
someone might come up with a better one. Two of those named, Howard Campbell and Walter
Hutchinson, actually put a lot of sweat into maintaining the church, Le., putting in a new floor. The balance
ofthose named have: a) expressed concern for the welfare ofthe church, b) organized anniversary
services to keep the church "aliven and in general c) kept the church "going" in a sense. At first I had the
list in pure alphabetical order but felt it wrong for Sheffield and Wilson to be at the end of the list. Perhaps
that is the way it will have to be.
3. This is a bit awkward for me: I'm a bit self-serving putting my name in as a documenter, but objectively
I think it has to go in for I pulled together the work of the other historians and added significantly to it. And I
guess if I hadn't sent in the application to Ottawa...
I think this is one time when it is appropriate and significant to include degrees. The research was done to
a quite high scholarly standard, and the listing of degrees would add a touch more credibility to the work the
historians have done. If it appears presumptuous, delete them. Please use your own judgement on this!
Owen Thomas is a professional historian (I'm not sure just what a professional historian is) who works for
Parks Canada and who added some background to the Black soldiers who settled here. His information
was included in his report to the Historic Sites and Monuments Board. Much of his report, however, cited
"Fisher, French or Crawford".
4. I don't like the wording of the second sentence in the paragraph which begins, "[Option 1This plaque is
presented...n The sentence begins, "In addition..." but that's the best I can do right at this time.
5. You may have another way to "sign off" at the bottom, but I have provided something for consideration.
Frankly, if you have the money for the engraving, I'd like to see the names of each Councillor.

Subject: Your Request For Ideas
June 24, 2003
Memo To Councillor Harry Hughes
From Tim Crawford, Chair, Oro-Medonte History Committee
Re: Recognition of the Work of Our Committee
This is in response to our phone conversation this evening in which you wanted some ideas as to how
best to recognize the work of the history committee in obtaining and celebrating the designation of a
national historic site for the Oro African Church.
As you are aware, I like to mull over ideas for a number of days, sorting out options and possibilities.
This report is written without the benefit of such a gestation period.
You and I considered a plaque which could go in the church. This would honour the current committee
but also document the work of past history committee members who, as part of their work, addressed the
needs of the church. Further it would document those who worked so hard to preserve the church in the
1940s. In effect you would be honouring the current committee by including it in a list of the "greats" who
have gone before.
It seems appropriate that the plaque could be placed permanently in the church. Everything we do to the
church, however, should be consistent with its heritage. For example, the Oro-Medonte Horticultural
Society is currently transforming the property to reflect how it might have looked 150 years ago - with
flowers and foundation planting ofthat era. The point is, the plaque should look appropriate in the church-
simple and modest.
One thought crossed my mind that the plaque should be a piece of engraved brass which we would mount
on a piece of barn board. Or, perhaps all the engraving should be carved into barn board by someone
skilled in doing this. These are just ideas that could be explored, refined, or rejected.
If you wanted it more formal (and expensive) it could be in the form of a poured plaque similar to the
Parks Canada plaque. It could go on the cairn under the new plaque ($1400 estimate, 3 month lag time).
A modest plaque could be presented to us by a representative of Council at the time of the "second
unveiling". We are tentatively planning on having the history committee and our Collingwood friends meet
at the site after the Parks Canada plaque is mounted on the stone cairn. We'll go through the process of
our own unveiling - just those passionately interested in the history of the church. That could take place
sometime after two weeks from now - the target time for Parks Canada to bring up the large plaque and
have it mounted.
A draft of the suggested wording is appended.
Respectfully submitted,
"Tim Crawford"
The following is draft #1 of the wording. Of course Council would feel free to change or embellish as it sees
fit.

Subject: Insurance coverage Department: Treasury
Council renewal

Date: June 24, 2003

R.M. File No. L06-012710
Date:
GROUND:
The municipality's insurance coverage expires on July 1, 2003. We have received a quote iTom our present
insurer, Jardine OME.
The quoted premium including PST is $180,035.64. This represents an increase of 32.3% over last
- year's premium including PST of $136,028.74.
As well, deductibles in the following coverage areas have been increased from $5,000 to $7,500:
municipal liability
errors & omissions
environmental liability
property
The municipality requested proposals last year. Frank Cowan, the only other company providing
insurance coverage to municipalities, quoted $154,551.66 at that time. It is my understanding that
their clients in the area have experienced premium increases of 20% to 30%. It is likely that their
quoted premium from last year would increase by an amount in this range resulting in premiums
greater than that quoted by OME Jardine, As such, we recommend renewing with OME Jardine at
the quoted premium of $180,035.64 including PST.
Please note that total 2003 budget allocations for insurance premiums is $142,971.
OMMENDATION (5):
1. THAT this report be received and adopted.
2. The municipality renew its insurance coverage for the period of July 1,2003 to July 1,2004 at
the quoted premium of $180,035,64 including PST.

Speed Limit Reduction- Public Works
C. OF W.: Craighurst Area
DATE:
MOTION #: June 5, 2003
DATE: R. M. FILE NO.:
T08-12728
Correspondence has been received from Mr. Rod Harris (attached) soliciting Council to support a
petition for County Council to consider reducing the speed limit along County Road #93 and County
Road #22 within the Craighurst area. In the County's Official Plan, County Road #93 is classified as
a primary arterial road, which provides a connecting route between the City of Barrie and
Penetanguishene/Midland. County Road # 22 is also classified as a primary arterial road, east and
west of the hamlet of Craighurst. Through the centre of the hamlet, County Road # 22 is classified as
a secondary arterial road (due to the 20.0 metre R.O,W. width), which is an east/west connecting
route that extends from King's Highway #12, just north of Orillia, to King's Highway #26.
Traffic counts were provided by the County of Simcoe in 1999 for both roads as part of the
Township's "Craighurst Secondary Study Plan", but the Study would not reflect true traffic volumes for
2003.
As growth and traffic movement in the Craighurst area has increased substantially over the past four
years, it is recommended that Council petition the County of Simcoe to examine changes to the
present speed limits and zones in the community of Craighurst.
~ Ip -d
1. THAT this report be received and adopted.
2, THAT Council petition the County of Simcoe to examine changes to existing speed limits and
zones on County Road #93 and County Road #22, within the community of Craighurst.
3. THAT the correspondence from Mr. Rod Harris be forwarded to the Simcoe County Engineering
Department for a response to any action regarding this matter.
Respectfully submitted,

Attn; Mayor and Members of Council
RE; Speed limit in Craighurst
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of concerned citizens within the Hamlet of Craighurst, I am writing to
solicit the support of Oro-Medonte Township Council in petitioning the County of
Simcoe to examine changes to the speed limits and zones in our community~
Late last year a petition was circulated and signed by over 50 concerned citizens.
The petition respectfully requests the following;
1) the speed limit in the community be reduced from the present 60 km/hr to
50 km/hr
2) the reduced speed limit zone be extended at least 500 metres in all
directions to insure that motorists have adequate space to reduce their
speed from the approaching 80 km/hr zones
3) that additional, clear, and highly visible signage being installed to make
certain motorists are aware that they are entering a reduced speed zone
consistent with a residential area
4) that the area be designated a .. Community Safety Zone" with the
associated increased traffic signs
5) that the use of engine exhaust ( .. Jake" ) brakes be prohibited by By-Law
within the village limits. "
6) That the OPP designate frequent and regular traffic enforcement
campaigns in the area to curtail the current unsafe conditions that exist
due to speeding, unsafe passing, and racing.
~~"----~-~-------
The reasons for this request are many and clearly logical and while no-one
denies that County Road 93 and County Road 22 are important traffic arteries,
the residents of the community should be afforded the right to safe pedestrian
traffic and quiet enjoyment of their property.
~b -,3
Craighurst Speed limit reduction
<tb-4
_._.~~~_.._._-"_.-
As indicated by planning studies, Craighurst has been identified as an area of
potential growth. This, coupled with the commercial growth in the Village core, all
result in increased pedestrian traffic ( environmentally beneficial as well ). In
addition, as a residential community, many of the homes along these corridors
are occupied by children and pets who are threatened by the uncontrolled
speeding and driving habits exhibited daily in the area, It is our opinion that these
measures are clearly warranted to protect the citizens of Craighurst, and that
precedent for such policy is already established in Hillsdale and Edgar where
speed zones are reduced to 50 km/hr.
It is hoped that these changes would clearly demonstrate to motorists entering
the Village that despite the roads being major roadways, they still are entering a
residential community and that these driving habits are no more welcome here
than in a residential subdivision.
We would sincerely appreciate the unwavering support of council in this matter
by a resolution and documentation of support. I am hopeful that I may make
deputation to County Corporate Services committee as soon as possible.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter. If you would like to see a copy of
the petition or would like further details I would be pleased to discuss this matter
further.
Sincerely,
2WdJ-{arris

Re: Site Plan Application for Landscape Operation
Lot A, Concession 2, Township of Oro-Medonte
Dear Mr. Mascioli:
The following comments have been received with respect to the Site Plan received on
April 16, 2002:
. Attached is a section of the existing approved Site Plan, which shows the width of
the proposed site as 45-m. The offsets of the Sales Kiosk will have to be revised.
. It would appear that there are materials presently located on the 23-m wide truck
parking area.
. The Site Plan indicates a depth of 190-m on the west side and 128.75-m on the east
side. The Township's Zoning By-law, #97-95, indicates the commercial property as
only having a depth of 60-m at this location. It would appear the proposed truck
entry/egress is outside the commercial designation, as well as much of the material
presently stored.
. Proposed material bins are to be shown on the Plan.
. A permanent delineation should be installed across the back (south) limit of the
commercial property (fencing).
. Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority approval is required.

THE PROPOSAL
The applicant has applied for consent to create a new shoreline residential lot.
MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS
Official Plan Designation - Shoreline
Zoning By-law 97-95 - Shoreline Residential (SR) Zone
Previous Applications - this application was deferred pending comments from the County Roads
Department.
AGENCY COMMENTS (space is provided for the Committee to make notes)
Simcoe County - see below
Public Works
Building Department
Fire Department
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
Background
This application was deferred by Committee on February 13, 2003 so the applicant could obtain
comments from the County of Simcoe to confirm that an entrance permit could be obtained to
provide access to the new lot.
On April 22, 2003, the County of Simcoe approved a request for an exemption to the County's
Entrance By-law for the purpose of creating the subject lot. This confirmation was provided to the
applicant in a memo dated April 25 by Ms. Sharon Beattie of the County of Simcoe Roads
Department.
ANALYSIS
The previous report for this application found the shoreline policies of the Official Plan to support
the proposed severance. However the application was deferred pending input from the County of
Simcoe. Given that this outstanding ~S$ue has been resolved, Committee is now in a position to
support this application.
CONCLUSION
1 . The application would result in the creation of a new shoreline residential lot in a manner
that is in keeping with the policies of the Official Plan.
\ Dc, - 5
2. The severed and retained lots appear to comply with the minimum lot area and frontage
requirements for the R1 Zone.
3. The County of Simcoe has approved a new entrance for the proposed lot.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Committee approve consent application 85/03 subject to the following
conditions:
1. That three copies of a Reference Plan of the subject lands prepared by an Ontario Land
Surveyor be submitted to the Committee Secretary.
2. That the applicant prepare and submit 3 original copies of the deeds for the parcel(s)
severed, one copy to be retained by the Municipality;
3. That the applicant pay to the Municipality $500.00 for the new lot as cash-in-lieu of a
parkland contribution pursuant to subsection 53(12) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990 c.
P.13; and,
4. That the conditions of consent imposed by the Committee be fulfilled within one year from
the date of the giving of this notice as noted below.
All of which is respectfully submitted,

PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Background
The subject property has an area of about 929 m2 (10,000 ft2) and is presently occupied by a one
storey dwelling and attached gara~e with an area of 176 m2 (1,900 fe) and a small storage
building with an area of about 10m (100 fe).
It is the applicant's intent to construct a sundeck at the rear of the existing dwelling. The proposed
sundeck would have a floor area of about 25 m2 (270 ft2) and would be raised about 2 metres (7
feet) to provide access from the rear patio door entry.
The Four Tests of the Minor Variance
Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Official Plan?
\Dc'\ -
The property is designated Shoreline Residential. The primary function of the Shoreline
Residential designation is to identify and permit residential uses, including accessory uses. The
proposed variance, which would permit the construction of a sundeck is in keeping with the intent
of the Official Plan.
Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law?
One of the purposes of maintaining minimum yards in the Shoreline Residential Zone is to
maintain suitable setbacks between residential dwellings in the interest of privacy and to protect
the character of a single detached residential community.
The assessment of this test involves assessing the degree of impact that the proposed location of
the deck could have upon the residential property abutting the rear lot line of the applicant's
lands. In undertaking this assessment it is suggested that the degree of impact upon the rear
abutting landowner would be low or at least the same as if the deck were built at the same
elevation at the required 7.5 metre rear yard.
On this basis the variance is deemed to conform with the general intent of the Zoning by-law.
Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
The subject application has been precipitated by an unusual lot configuration and a desire of the
applicant to maintain a view and connection to the waterfront. Given these circumstances, the
subject variance should provide for the appropriate and desirable development of the lot.
Is the variance minor?
On the basis that the variance will permit the addition of a modest sundeck, the requested relief is
deemed to be minor on the basis that the expansion appears compatible with surrounding uses.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The requested variance is in keeping with the general intent of the Official Plan.
2. The requested variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Township's Zoning By-
law.
3. The requested variance will provide for the desirable development of the subject property.
4. The requested variance is deemed to be minor.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that Committee grant minor variance A 15/03, stipulating the following
conditions:
1. That prior to issuance of a building permit, an Ontario Land Surveyor provide
verification to the Township of compliance with the Committee's decision by 1) pinning
the footing and 2) verifying in writing prior to pouring of the foundation by way of
survey/real property report prepared by an Ontario Land Surveyor;
2. That the setbacks be in conformity with the dimensions as set out in the application, as
submitted;
3. That the appropriate building permit be obtained from the Township's Chief Building
Official only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding, as provided for
within the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13; and,
4. That all municipal taxes be paid to the Township of Oro-Medonte.

Planning Report for
June 12,2003
Steven and Carol Downey
1809 4th Line North, South Part Lot 10, Concession 5
816/03
THE PROPOSAL
The applicant has applied for consent to adjust the boundary of their residential lot by adding
lands from an abutting rural parcel.
MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS
Official Plan Designation - Rural Settlement Area
Zoning By-law 97-95 - Residential One (R1) Zone
Previous Applications -
AGENCY COMMENTS (space is provided for the Committee to make notes)
Simcoe County
Public Works
Building Department
Fire Department
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
Background
This application involves the conveyance of lands from Dunn to Downey. The subject lands are
identified as Part 2 in the application and have a width of 6.1 metres (20 feet) and an total area of
about 732 m2 (7,879 ft2).
It is understood the lands were identified on a reference plan several years ago in order to
facilitate a lot addition, however an application for consent was never made to the Municipality.
If the application is approved the resultant lot area of Downey's residential lot would be 2,460 m2
(26,486 fe) and the area of the Dunn property would be about 1.37 hectares.
Township Of Oro-Medonte Official Plan
The Rural Settlement Area policies of the Oro-Medonte Official Plan are silent with respect to the
issue of boundary adjustments, which are sometimes referred to as technical severances. In the
absence of specific policies relating to the application, Committee should consider the overall
objectives of the Rural designation:
1. To maintain and create attractive communities with sustainable amenities; and,
2. To ensure that settlement areas are developed in a logical and cost-effective manner.
\u~-
Zoning By-Law 97-95
If the consent is approved, the Downey lots would comply with the Zoning By-law provisions
applicable to residential uses in the AlRU Zone which requires a minimum lot area of 0.2 hectares
and a minimum lot frontage of 30 metres.
There would be no situations of non-compliance created by the proposed boundary adjustment.
ANAL YSIS
The proposed severance is a technical severance and is considered to be appropriate and in
keeping with the intent of the Official Plan,
CONCLUSION
1. The application does not offend the objectives of the Rural Settlement Area designation
of the Official Plan and is deemed to generally conform with the severance policies of the
Plan on the basis that the application will increase the lot area of an existing lot within a
Rural Settlement Area.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Committee approve consent application B16/03 subject to the following
conditions:
1. That three copies of a Reference Plan of the subject lands DreDared by an Ontario Land
Surveyor be submitted to the Committee Secretary
2. That the applicant prepare and submit 3 original copies of the deeds for the parcel(s)
severed, one copy to be retained by the Municipality;
3. That the provisions of Subsection 3 or 5 of Section 50 of The Planning Act apply to any
subsequent conveyance or transaction involving the parcel of land subject of this
consent; and,
4. That the conditions of consent imposed by the Committee be fulfilled within one year from
the date of the giving of this notice as noted below.

Ukcan Investments
815/03
Lots 3 and 4, Plan 51R-31319, Part Lot 19, Concession 7 (Oro)
THE PROPOSAL
The applicant has applied for consent for a boundary adjustment that would legally merge two
lots into one separate conveyable parcel.
MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS
Official Plan Designation - Airport
Zoning By-law 97-95 - Airport Exception (AP*143) Zone

PLANNING DEPARTMENT
Background
The applicant, Ukcan Investments, recently purchased Lot 3 and is in the process of purchasing
Lot 4 from the Township, for the purpose of developing a hangar. The lots were originally created
by the Township to market for industrial and airport related development. However, the building
that is proposed by the applicant is sufficiently large that it requires the subject lots, Lots 3 and 4,
to be merged as a single property before a building permit can be issued.
Each lot presently has a frontage of 57.2 metres and a lot area of 4,118 m2. If the lots are
merged, the new lot frontage would double to 114 metres and the lot area would increase to 8,
236 m2.
Township Of Oro-Medonte Official Plan
The policies of the Oro-Medonte Official Plan are silent with respect to severances in the Airport
designation.
Zoning By-Law 97-95
The proposed lot would comply with the Zoning By-law provisions applicable to lot frontage and
area in the Airport Zone which requires a minimum lot area of 0.4 hectares and a minimum lot
frontage of 50 metres.
\ ()c~ --
ANAL YSIS
It is noted that the original creation of the subject lots was undertaken by the Municipality in an
effort to stimulate economic development and encourage investment in the airport. Generally
speaking, the area and size of the lots is less important than the objective of fostering economic
growth near the airport. On this basis the proposed severance is considered to be a technical
severance which does not offend basic planning principles.
CONCLUSION
1 . The application does not offend the Official Plan and is deemed to generally conform with
the severance policies of the Plan on the basis that the application is a technical
severance.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Committee approve consent application 815/03 subject to the following
conditions:
1. That Ukcan Investments confirm with a Deed of Transfer that they legally own and have
clear title to Lot 4;
2. That three copies of a Reference Plan of the subject lands prepared by an Ontario Land
Surveyor be submitted to the Committee Secretary' --
3. That the applicant prepare and submit 3 original copies of the deeds for the parcel(s)
severed, one copy to be retained by the Municipality;
4. That the provisions of Subsection 3 or 5 of Section 50 of The Planning Act apply to any
subsequent conveyance or transaction involving the parcel of land subject of this
consent; and,
5. That the conditions of consent imposed by the Committee be fulfilled within one year from
the date of the giving of this notice as noted below.
All of which is respectfully submitted,

A 18/03
1901 Ridge Road West, Part Lot 27 and 28, Concession 3 (Oro)
THE PROPOSAL
The applicant has requested the following relief to permit the construction of a detached
garage/storage building.
Permitted Proposed
Maximum Area 70 m2 147.15 m2
Maximum Height 4.5 metres 6.1 metres
MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS
Official Plan Designation - Shoreline
Zoning By-law 97-95 - Shoreline (SR) Zone
Previous Applications - none
AGENCY COMMENTS (space is provided for the Committee to make notes)

PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Background
The subject property has a lot area of 2.1 hectares (5.2 acres) and is presently occupied by a one
and a half storey dwellin~ with an area of about 204 m2 (2,200 ft2) and an attached garage with
an area of 73.5 m2 (792 ft ).
It is the applicant's intent to build a second detached garage for storage purposes.
The Four Tests of the Minor Variance
Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Official Plan?
The property is designated Shoreline. The primary function of the Shoreline designation is to
identify and protect the character of the shoreline residential area. Permitted uses in the
Shoreline designation primarily include residential uses as well as accessory uses. The proposed
\()~
variance, which would permit the construction of a detached garage is in keeping with the intent
of the Official Plan.
Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law?
One of the purposes of regulating the height and size of accessory dwellings in the Shoreline
Residential (SR) Zone is to prevent over-development of a property which can create issues of
incompatibility.
Based on a site inspection, it is noted that the subject lot is large and is completely buffered from
Ridge Road due to the depth of the lot. It is also noted that the adjoining shoreline lot, which
previously received approval for a comparable storage building is similar in character to the
applicant's lands. On this basis the variance is deemed to conform with the general intent of the
Zoning By-law,
Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
The proposed building will not result in the over-development of the subject lot, but may
complement existing development on the lot. On this basis the proposal is considered appropriate
for the desirable development of the subject lot.
Is the variance minor?
The requested relief is deemed to be minor on the basis that the expansion appears compatible
with surrounding uses and is consistent the character of the nearby residential area. However it
will be recommended that a condition to this variance be imposed to ensure that no portion of the
proposed building be used as a dwelling unit.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The requested variance is in keeping with the general intent of the Official Plan.
2. The requested variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Township's Zoning By-
law.
3. The requested variance will provide for the desirable development of the subject property.
4. The requested variance is deemed to be minor.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that Committee grant minor variance A 18/03, stipulating the following
conditions:
1. That the height of the structure not exceed 6.1 metres and the area not exceed 147.2
square metres;
2. That no portion of the structure be used as a dwelling unit for permanent or seasonal
habitation;
3. That the appropriate building permit be obtained from the Township's Chief Building
Official only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding, as provided for
within the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13; and,

PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Background
The subject property has an area of about 2125 m2 (22,879 fe) and is presently occupied by a
one and a half storey dwelling with an area of about 131 m2 (1,410 ft\
It is the applicant's intent to undertake a series of renovations to the existing cottage including the
addition of a dining room, front foyer and two storey-attached garage. The total area of the
renovated dwelling would be about 256.6m2 (2,762 ft2).
The applicant has requested relief from the interior side yard to allow the construction of an
attached two-storey garage. The applicant has also requested relief from the minimum setback
requirement from a watercourse to allow an existing legal non-complying deck to be converted to
interior living space. If this aspect of the variance is approved, the applicant would further extend
the existing legal non-complying setback by a further 1.25 metres (4.1 feet).
\ (j0, ,
It is noted that the applicant has recently completed a restoration of the watercourse along the
western boundary of the lot. This project was approved and inspected by the Ministry of Natural
Resources and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
The Four Tests of the Minor Variance
Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Official Plan?
The property is designated Shoreline. The primary function of the Shoreline designation is to
identify and protect the character of the existing shoreline community. The proposed variance,
which would permit the renovation of an 18 year old cottage by including an attached garage is
deemed to conform with the intent of the Official Plan.
Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law?
One of the purposes of maintaining interior side yards in the Shoreline Residential (SR) Zone is to
maintain suitable setbacks between residential dwellings in the interest of privacy and to protect
the character of the shoreline residential community.
Based on a site inspection, the requested interior side yard of 2.45 metres is considered to be a
reasonable side yard in the context of the surrounding shoreline community. On this basis the
variance to the side yard is deemed to conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law.
With respect to the variance for a setback from a watercourse, it is noted that the applicant has
recently restored and stabilized the bank of the watercourse and the applicant proposes only a
modest infringement to the established building line. On the basis that the existing watercourse
and dwelling have co-existed for a substantial number of years, and the applicant has recently
stabilized the watercourse, the proposed variance is considered to conform with the general
intent of the Zoning By-law.
Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
A garage is a common and appropriate element in the shoreline community and the nature of
development proposed appears modest and will not lead to over development of the lot. On this
basis and given that the proposal appears consistent the character of the shoreline residential
area the variance should provide for the desirable development of the subject lot.
Is the variance minor?
On the basis that the variance will permit a reasonable expansion to an existing dwelling, the
requested relief is deemed to be minor, however it will be recommended that the applicant
prepare a grading plan to ensure stormwater is controlled on the property.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The requested variance is in keeping with the general intent of the Official Plan.
2. The requested variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Township's Zoning By-
law.
3. The requested variance will provide for the desirable development of the subject property.
4. The requested variance is deemed to be minor.

RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that Committee grant minor variance A 13/03, stipulating the following
conditions:
1. That prior to issuance of a building permit, an Ontario Land Surveyor provide
verification to the Township of compliance with the Committee's decision by 1) pinning
the footing and 2) verifying in writing prior to pouring of the foundation by way of
survey/real property report prepared by an Ontario Land Surveyor;
2. That the setbacks be in conformity with the dimensions as set out in the application, as
submitted;
3. That the appropriate building permit be obtained from the Township's Chief Building
Official only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding, as provided for
within the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13; and,
4. That all municipal taxes be paid to the Township of Oro-Medonte.
5. That prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant prepares a grading plan to
ensure that stormwater runoff from the new garage is directed away from the abutting
landowner.
All of which is respectfully submitted,

PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Background
The subject property has an area of 1.1 ha (2.7 acres) and is presently vacant land. Previously
the applicant requested relief from Section 5.1.2 of the Zoning By-law (Timing of Construction) to
allow construction of the shed prior to the dwelling. However, given the Planning Department's
lack of support for relief from Section 5.1.2, the applicant has decided to build the house and
shed at the same time and therefore only requires relief from the maximum height requirement of
the Township's Zoning By-law.
The proposed shed will have an area of about 113m2 ( 1 ,216 ft2) and a height of 4.8 metres.
The Four Tests of the Minor Variance
Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Official Plan?
\Oq-'3
The property is designated Rural. The proposed variance, which would permit the construction of
a detached storage building accessory to a residential use, is in keeping with the intent of the
Official Plan.
Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law?
One of the purposes of restricting the height of accessory buildings is to ensure that such
structures maintain a sense of scale with residential uses and to prevent buildings from evolving
into alternative uses, such as a dwelling unit. On the basis of a review of the applicant's building
plans, the proposed structure will not accommodate a second storey and therefore does not
appear to offend the general intent of the Zoning By-law.
Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
The applicant's lot is a relatively large rural residential property and the proposed building
appears generally compatible within a rural residential context. On this basis the proposal is
considered appropriate for the desirable development of the subject lot.
Is the variance minor?
The requested relief is deemed to be minor on the basis that the shed appears compatible with a
residential use and represents only a minor deviation from the maximum height requirement.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The requested variance is in keeping with the general intent of the Official Plan.
2. The requested variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Township's Zoning By-
law.
3. The requested variance will provide for the desirable development of the subject property.
4. The requested variance is deemed to be minor.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that Committee grant minor variance A6/03, stipulating the following
conditions:
1. That the appropriate building permits be obtained from the Township's Chief Building
Official only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding, as provided for
within the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13 and that building on the dwelling and shed
commence at the same time; and,
2. That all municipal taxes be paid to the Township of Oro-Medonte.
All of which is respectfully submitted,

Oro-Medonte Housekeeping By-law - Accessory Buildings on
Small Lots in the A/RU Zone
.Job Number: 2456
From:
Date:
Subject:
BACKGROUND
Section 5.1 to Zoning By-law 97-95 contains a number of provisions that regulate and control the
location, size and height of accessory buildings. Generally, these provisions are practical and
easy to administer. However, from time to time staff have found the Agricultural/Rural exemption
for gross floor area contained in Section 5.1.6 to be problematic.
Section 5.1.6 reads as follows:
The maximum floor area of anyone detached accessory building or structure,
excluding boathouses, is 70 square metres. This provision shall not apply to any
accessory building or structure in the Agricultural/Rural (AIRU) Zone and the
Mineral Aggregate Resource Two (MAR2) Zone.
THE PROBLEM
Section 5.1.6 provided an exemption in the AlRU Zone to permit the construction of agricultural-
related buildings of any size. However, the problem is there are hundreds of small residential
parcels zoned A/RU in the Township and according to Section 5.1.6, the size of accessory
storage buildings permitted on these lots is not limited, except for the 5% limit established by
Section 5.1.4. These means the owner of a lot with an area of 1.5 hectares is permitted to build
an accessory building with an area of 750 m2 (8,073 ff). Meanwhile an adjacent landowner in the
RUR1 Zone could only build an accessory shed with an area of 70 m2 (753 ft\

......
ANALYSIS
In analyzing whether it is appropriate to regulate the floor area of accessory structures in the
A/RU Zone, one must consider the following issues:
1. The issue of character. There are areas in the Township where small A/RU lots abut
other residential lots located in the R1, SR, RLS or RUR zone. In such cases it is
reasonable to anticipate that the existing divergence in area requirements for accessory
buildings could lead to impacts on the rural residential character of a community or
residential cluster.
2. The issue of compatibility and by-law enforcement. Given that large accessory structures
can more easily accommodate other land uses such as home industries, contractor's
shops and second dwelling units, this issue is increasingly important in the Township of
Oro-Medonte as a service provider to two growing cities. Although the Municipality does
not discourage well planned and compatible economic investment, it is not the intent of
the current Official Plan to have the rural area open to all forms of ad-hoc commercial
and industrial activity. It is anticipated that if restrictions are established on accessory
buildings on smaller rural lots, it would assist in ensuring that such lots do not evolve into
less compatible secondary uses.
3. The issue of highest and best use of lands. Generally for large parcels, the highest and
best use is for agriculture or related uses, therefore it is appropriate not to limit the size of
accessory buildings incidental to such uses. Conversely, in the case of small lots which
are less than 2.0 hectares in area, it could be argued that the highest and best use is
residential, given that this is the only as-of-right permitted use according to By-law 97-95.
If this is the case then it is appropriate to establish a provision to ensure that accessory
buildings remain clearly secondary and incidental to a residential use.
CONCLUSIONS
1. Section 5.1.4 is currently the only provIsion in By-law 97-95 that limits the area of
accessory buildings and structures in the A/RU Zone. It requires that the total area of all
accessory buildings not exceed 5%.
2. As an example, the 5% provision would permit 500 m2 (5,382 fe) shed on a 1 hectare
(2.47 acre) AlRU lot.
3. The maximum area requirement for anyone accessory building in all other residential
zones is 70 m2 (753 ft2).
4. On the basis that small lots in the A/RU Zone are principally used for residential use, it
would be appropriate to establish a maximum area requirement of at least 100 m2 (1,076
fe) and a maximum height of 4.5 metres to minimize impacts upon rural residential
character and to avoid issues of incompatibility between residential uses.

RECOMMENDATION
1. On the basis of the above, it is suggested that Council authorize the holding of a public
meeting under Section 34 of the Planning Act to consider the establishment of a
maximum area requirement of 100 m2 and a maximum height of 4.5 metres for accessory
buildings on lots with less than 2.0 hectares in the AlRU Zone.

Subject: Proposed Zone Change for Plan 1287 (Oro)
.Job Number: 2456
BACKGROUND
Plan 1287 is located in Part of Lot 2, Concession 4 (Oro). It is understood the Plan was approved
in the late 70's and is comprised of 7 residential lots, all of which have been built upon. The lots
generally average 0.4 hectares (1 acre) in area with frontages of about 30 metres (100 feet).
The subject lots are currently zoned RUR1*10. The RUR1 Zone generally recognizes estate style
rural residential development and requires an 8.0 metre interior side yard and a 15 metre front
yard. The purpose of exception *10 is to establish a minimum floor area requirement of 90 m2 for
new dwellings.
It has come the attention of Township staff and Meridian Planning Consultants that Plan 1287
may not be appropriately zoned. It is understood that the original zoning required a 3.0 metre
setback, which was in place in the late 70's when the existing houses were built on the lots.
However in 1989, Plan 1287 was placed in the Country Residential (CR) Zone through the
passage of By-law 1031. This zone required a interior side yard of 7.5 metres and effectively
placed all of the existing dwellings into a legal non-complying situation. When By-law 1031 was
repealed by By-law 97-95, Plan 1287 was placed in the RUR1 Zone, a zone which carried
forward the same setback requirements.
ANALYSIS OFTHE PROBLEM
Given the frontage and area of the lots, it is evident that the "estate style" setbacks of the RUR1
Zone are not appropriate for the lots in Plan 1287. As a result, any owner of a lot in Plan 1287
must currently obtain a minor variance to allow minor additions or sundecks. This is a problem
which could be remedied through the housekeeping amendment by placing the lots in a more
appropriate zone with reduced yard requirements.

\ (jc-J
CONCLUSION
1. Plan 1287 had the required yard requirements increased in 1989 which inadvertently
caused issues of legal non-compliance.
2. This problem has been continued with the passage of By-law 97-95.
3. A suitable remedy is to amend the zoning of Plan 1287 to a more appropriate RUR2
Zone which has reduced yard requirements and which are more suited to the nature of
existing residential development on the lots.
RECOMMENDATION
1. It is suggested that Council authorize the scheduling of a public meeting under Section
34 of the Planning Act to consider the rezoning Plan 1287 from the RUR1*10 to the
RUR2*10 in an effort to appropriately zone the lands and to remedy existing situations of
legal non-compliance caused by the former CR and RUR1 zones.

Lot 11, Concession 3 (Oro)
2455
A. PROPOSAL/BACKGROUND
Mr. John Graham has applied to permit the holding of up to four motor-cross events on a property in
Lot 11, Concession 3 (Oro) each year for a period of three years. The type of permission being
applied for is a Temporary Use permission under Section 39 of the Planning Act.
The property has an area of 40 hectares and is located at the south-east corner of Line 2 North and
County Road 11. The property is currently the site of an active farm. The lands to be used for the
racing event are located in the south-east corner of the property and will occupy about one-third of the
site. These lands are currently low and wet and have already been developed for racing purposes.
Mr. Graham and his son built the track for their own personal use about eight years ago and in 2002,
held two races with the permission of the Township of Oro-Medonte.
Given a concern about permitting such a use on the property, an application for a Temporary Use
permission was submitted by Mr. Graham and considered by Council at a public meeting held on May
21, 2003. The public meeting was well attended and a number of people submitted written requests
in the period leading up to the public meeting and following the public meeting to June 4, 2003. The
written submissions are summarized on Table A attached to this report.

D. ANALYSIS
The track on the subject property has been reported to be in existence for eight years. As noted
above, this track was built by Mr. Graham for his own personal use. It was only last year that Mr.
Graham was approached by Mr. Tom Beeton, the president of CMX Racing, to determine whether
formalized races could be held on the Graham property. Permission from Council to hold the races
was obtained and two such races were held in the summer of 2002. Township staff report at the time
that one complaint regarding noise was received. Since that time, the Township has determined that
it would be more appropriate that the carrying out of any races on the property was formally
considered by Council, following a period of public review and consultation. On this basis, Mr.
Graham has submitted an application to obtain Council's formal permission to carry out no more than
four races during a five month period.
Each of the races would be completed in one day. The use of the track for practise runs at any other
time during the five month period is not proposed. However, the track will continue to be used by Mr.
Graham, his children and his friends throughout the summer.
There are 15 locations in southern Ontario at which races involving the participants at the races on the
subject property are held. It has been reported by the applicant that all of these other sites are located
in agricultural areas, since urban areas are not appropriate for these types of uses. It has also been
reported by the applicant that in many other jurisdictions, no specific permission was required from the
host municipality. While this very well may be the case, it should be noted that every municipality has
different zoning regulations and on that basis there is no benefit in comparing how the races were
approved in other jurisdictions.
A temporary use may be authorized for a specific period up to three years and should be applied
where it is considered inappropriate by the municipality to permit the proposed use on a permanent or
continuing basis and where alternatives may not be practice. Prior to the approval of a temporary use
Zoning By-law, the Official Plan states that Council shall be satisfied that the following principles and
criteria are met as outlined in Section J1.2 of the Official Plan.
a) The proposed use shall be of a temporary nature and shall not entail any major
construction or investment on the part of the owner so that the owner will not
experience undue hardship in reverting to the original use upon the termination of the
temporary use. - The applicant has indicated that no structures will be erected as the
proposed use is an 'open-air' use. It should be noted that if the permission is not granted or
the use ceases in the future, the track will remain on the property and used by the family.
b) The proposed use shall be compatible with the adjacent land uses and the character of
the surrounding neighbourhood, - A key consideration in the review of any possible use of
land is whether the use will be or can be made to be compatible with adjacent land uses.
Compatible can be defined as; "the development or redevelopment of uses which may
not necessarily be the same as or similar to existing development, but which can co-
exist with adjacent land uses and/or the neighbourhood in a manner that does not
Page 2
\ () --)
have a negative impact on adjacent properties and or cause a measurable loss to the
enjoyment of adjacent properties for uses permitted by the municipality."
In this case, a number of residents have indicated that they have concerns about the noise
impacts from the proposed use. It is noted that many other residents have indicated their
support for the application, and have no issue with the noise impacts. Determining the noise
impacts on the subject property is difficult. No noise report was submitted in support of the
application for temporary use.
It is my opinion that it would be difficult to generate a noise report based on the theoretical
racing of motor bikes on the property. Instead, it would be much more useful to assess the
noise impacts that would result from the holding of a typical race on a race day. Factors to
consider when assessing noise impacts are:
. the types of vegetation which separate the track from adjacent land uses;
. the elevation of the land in relation to other uses;
. the distance between the track and other uses;
. the presenVabsence of other background noise; and,
. the prevailing winds during the day of the race.
All of these factors need to be considered in determining whether a proposed use will have an
impact on adjacent uses. It should be noted that the uses are also not stationery in that the
noise travels across the site with the bikes. This means that noise impacts may be lesser or
greater depending on the location of the bikes on the track.
There is no question that some area residents are affected by the noise emanating from the
site. Some of these affected residents have indicated that they have bought property in this
part of Oro-Medonte to realize some peace and quiet. However, others have noted that rural
areas are not free of noise. In addition to traffic noise on the major highways in the area,
noises are also generated from farming activities and airplanes in the area. Although this
type of noise occurs sporadically, it is known to occur in any rural area.
Determining the measurable impacts of noise on the enjoyment of adjacent properties is very
subjective. Some people may be very sensitive to noises which are not normally associated
with rural living. Others are less sensitive and more tolerant to different noises. Essentially,
the determination of what is appropriate in terms of noise impacts is the major decision to be
made as part of this application. In my opinion, given that the races are only to be held four
times per year (four days) and given the location of the track adjacent to an extensive wooded
area and some distance away from adjacent land uses, it is my opinion that the track can co-
exist with other uses in the area. However, it is also my opinion that a more detailed
assessment of the noise impacts needs to be carried out during a race and at locations
agreed to by the municipality to determine what the true impacts are and then to make an
informed decision on whether those impacts are adverse or not. On this basis, there may be
some merit in requiring the applicant to essentially prove the impact during a normal race to
be held this summer.
Page 3
'\ () l ~ '1
With respect to environmental impacts, there is a creek and a low-lying area located in the
south-east corner of the property. On the basis of a site visit, it is clear that the track has not
encroached into the woodland area. It should be noted that tile drains from properties to the
north discharge drainage under County Road 11 onto the subject property. On a portion of
the property, the water is channelized but as the water travels to the south-east corner it
leaves the channel and flows as sheet flow. This is why the property has the appearance of
being low and wet. Mr. Graham has installed culverts in key locations to ensure that the water
is properly directed. However, standing water will exist in the spring as a result of snow melt
on the property and in the area.
The key impact from such a use on a watercourse would be the introduction of sediments and
other inorganic materials into the watercourse, which would then have an impact on the
function of the watercourse and perhaps even on the fisheries resource contained within it. In
order to deal with this issue, Niblett Environmental Associates was retained and they prepared
an Environmental Impact Study. Niblett Environmental concluded that the proposed
temporary use would have no impact on the function on the woodland feature and the
watercourse in the area provided that certain mitigation measures were incorporated in the
design of the site.
With respect to character, the track will be located in the south east corner of the property and
will not be very visible from surrounding roads. In addition, the track is not visible from
adjacent dwellings. The parking of vehicles on the property will be visible however the
impacts on character are considered to be minor, given that the parking would only occur on
four days per year. With respect to impacts as a result of additional traffic, the additional
traffic will use primarily Line 2 North to access County Road 11. Line 2 North is currently
unpaved but is able to accommodate the increased traffic. There are no dwellings on Line 2
North between the proposed driveway entrance and County Road 11. With respect to County
Road 11 itself the road is currently a fairly busy east west route through the Township. The
County to date has not indicated that they have any concerns about the increased traffic on
the County Road.
c) The proposed use shall not require the extension or expansion of existing municipal
services - The extension of municipal services is not required.
d) The proposed use shall not create any traffic circulation problems within the area nor
shall adversely affect the volume andlor type of traffic serviced by the area's roads _
As noted above the Line 2 North can accommodate the increased traffic. There may be
delays experienced by those leaving the property when entering County Road 11. However,
as the races are held during the day there is typically no one time period in which a number of
vehicles will at the same time be trying to access County Road 11. On this basis the impacts
on traffic circulation patterns are expected to be minimal to non-existent.
e) Parking facilities required by the proposed use shall be provided entirely on-site _
Parking facilities will be provided on site.
f) The proposed use shall generally be beneficial to the neighbourhood or the community
as a whole - The majority of the participants in these races are between five and eighteen
years old. As noted in some of the correspondence, racers have to be mentally fit, physically
strong and have steady nerves. A number of people have indicated that the races
themselves are a family event and allow for families and children to participate in events
Page 4
tt>a.-s
together throughout the summer. These races also provide an opportunity for children to get
involved in some challenging activities which to many, allows for the development of a
stronger character. It is activities like these that keep young people focused and allow them
to more easily realize other objectives as they get older. On this basis, it is my opinion that
there is a benefit to the community as a whole in providing locations for young people to
participate in sports and sporting activities.
In terms of direct economic impacts, no additional assessment will be realized by the holding
of four races during a five month period on the property. In addition, few if any of the
participants will be staying in local hotels or motels given that most participants have trailers
and some stay on the property during the event. However, some of the participants may stay
in area hotels and motels, primarily in the City of Barrie. However, by holding races in Oro-
Medonte, an opportunity does exist to attract participants to points of interest in the Township
of Oro-Medonte. In this regard, there may be an opportunity to work with the operators of the
race in providing information to these participants on points of interest in the Township.
e. RECOMMENDATION
On the basis of the analysis contained within this report, it is my opinion that the temporary approval of
such a use on the property is appropriate and conforms with the general intent of the Official Plan.
The environmental and traffic impacts resulting from the use are minimal to non-existent. In addition,
the lands will continue to be available for agricultural use after the use ceases. The applicants have
also made a considerable effort in reaching out to their neighbours to provide them with assurance
that their concerns will be met.
Notwithstanding the above, there are concerns about noise. There is no question that the racing of
motor bikes will be heard by neighbouring property owners. However, the determination of whether
this noise will have an adverse impact on the enjoyment of their properties is difficult to quantify. On
this basis, it is recommended that Council consider the passage of a Temporary Use By-law that
would permit the holding of up to two races this year. At each of these races, the landowner will be
required to retain a noise consultant who will review the impacts of the noise on agreed upon
receptors in the general area. On the basis of the information collected, Council could then consider
extending the permission for the next one to two years or not approving the further holding of such
races.
On this basis, it is recommended that Council:
a) receive this report;
b) pass the attached By-law that would authorize no more than two races in 2003; and,
c) require the submission of an appropriate noise assessment and traffic impact study to
justify the holding off any more than two races.

was no reason for concern; as owners, protection was
our concern. Health concerns consigned only to those
with proper documents, local Lions Club first. Potential

3 km distance to check noise disturbance, which was
minimal. Prevailing wind on race day determines who

all the way, Mike; is a great thing for Oro; attracts great
bikers.
Other comments (paraphrased):
The son: Should have races at my house because it is
fun for me and my friends. Is their sport, like hockey is
for others.
Marshall Dixon: property is a great place to ride and
watch dirt bikes. Close neighbours have been
encouraging this event. Taking this away is like taking
away the hockey arena. No fuel or oil is leaking into
streams. Races stay out of the forest. The little
pollution caused basically pesticides put on farmer's
fields, air pollution equates cars running in one area.
Noise is only four days a year and mufflers are
improving.
Ben Morgan: Close neighbours support this 100%.
Amazing leisure activity for children to build character

Liability: CMX has most comprehensive insurance
package available in industry to cover riders, spectators,
land owners, organizers, staff, first aid, municipality. 33
Ontario events sanctioned last year.
Air pollution: Tuned to run as fuel efficiently as possible.
Up to 70% more fuel efficient than lawnmowers, tractors.
Engines are 10%-20% smaller than that of a compact
car.
Environment: Track has existed for 8 years with no earth
addition, removal. Low lying property makes it wet up to
late spring. It is unsuitable for crops at this portion of
farm. Gas is not supplied or stored on property. Riders
rarely bring more than necessary for day's event and are
cautious not to spill precious commodity. Risk of
punctured fuel tank is slim to none. Creek is not altered
in any way and has dried up by June 1st. Property can
be restored to original condition within 24 hours.
Animals: Stress on domestic animals is unheard of.
Some farm owners notice cows line up to watch events.
One of Ontario's busiest tracks has shared property with
horse stable for 18 years. Has personally seen deer
wander out to watch riders out of curiosity.
Traffic: No greater than any other day. Roads
department looked into concerns possible and found
none. No issues from 2002 events. Abundance of
parking will never be exhausted.
Other: Alcohol consumption is not permitted. Local
sanitation company supplies portable toilets and needs
of patrons have always been met. Food served by
licensed servers and local Lions Club offered opportunity
to use event as fundraiser. MX is large part of
motorcycle industry and are significant consumers for
the service industry. 8 local people minimum are
employed as race day staff. Gravel was added to
improve driveway into property. At no time will they
need to add permanent structures or need for cash
investment because event are infrequent and self-
sufficient.

Long-term Plan: How does change of zoning fit in with
long-term Plan? It seems duplication of this facility
would undermine success of Burl's Creek Family Event
Park facility. Proposal creates no jobs for the area, but
bring a large and noisy nuisance making part time
money for a few individuals. Surrounding fields are all
agriculturally active; noise must stress the domestic
animals in vicinity. Undesirable noise pollution devalues
property. Historical thinking of any business as good
business is due for a shifting of focus. Residence
construction associated with pleasures of country living,
and proposal is counterproductive to wholesome life.

A. PROPOSAL/BACKGROUND
Ms. St. Amant has submitted an application to rezone lands within Part of Lot 10, Concession 5 in the
former Township of Medonte. The lot is located on the south side of Mount St. Louis Road between
Line 4 and Line 5. The lot has an area of about 3.6 hectares and is currently vacant and primarily
treed.
The Zoning By-law prohibits the development of a single detached dwelling on the property according
to the provisions of the Agricultural/Rural zone. The applicant has requested that this prohibition on
the development of a single detached dwelling be deleted from the property.

D. ANALYSIS
The prohibition on the development of single detached dwellings on the property was introduced into
By-law 97-95 to implement the guidelines of the Ministry of Environment with respect to development
adjacent to closed landfill sites. The former Medonte landfill site is located to the east of the property.
Section H8 (Waste Disposal Sites) of the 1995 Official Plan contains policies applying to both the
open waste disposal site and the one closed waste disposal site in the Township. These policies
require the submission of appropriate supporting information to permit the construction of new homes
in an area that is located 500 metres from the boundaries of the two sites.
The applicant retained Terraprobe Limited to carry out the technical studies required pursuant to the
Official Plan. This study has been provided to the County of Simcoe, who are responsible for the
closed waste disposal site and the long term monitoring of the site. As of June 13, 2003, it is my
understanding that the County has verbally agreed that they support the recommendations made by
Terraprobe. This will be confirmed in a letter to be available by June 25,2003.
On the basis of the above, it is recommended that Council:
a) receive this report;
b) pass the attached By-law removing exception # 96 from the property.

D. ANALYSIS
In 1995, the Planning Act was amended to permit a Garden Suite on a temporary basis for a
period not to exceed ten years. A Garden Suite was defined in the Planning Act as "a one unit
detached residential structure containing a bathroom and kitchen facilities that is ancillary to an
existing residential structure that is designated to be portable."
\D
-"I
~
This section of the Planning Act was to be implemented through the Temporary Use provisions
and through Council implementing a Temporary Use By-law.
The criteria for considering any Temporary Use By-law for a Garden Suite was established by the
Township in 1995. The intent of these criteria was to ensure that the unit is temporary. On this
basis, the garden suite is required to be connected to the existing servicing on the property and
must utilize the existing driveway. To further ensure the unit is temporary, an agreement is to be
registered on title, which requires the removal of the unit in ten years. Should Council execute
such an agreement, securities in the amount of $2500.00 will be required. The applicant is aware
of these requirements.
A public meeting was held on May 21, 2003, at which time no concerns were noted.
On this basis, it is recommended that Council:
a) receive this report;
b) pass the attached By-law authorizing the use of the property subject to
development application P-150/03 (Thomson) for a period of ten years.

A. PROPOSAL/BACKGROUND
Ms. Sherri Ann Watt has submitted an application to rezone approximately four hectares of land on
Line 5 North south of County Road 11 to permit a specialized farm. The Zoning By-law amendment
would apply to lands that are proposed to be severed from a 40 hectare parcel owned by Mr. Bloom
(Blooming Acres).
On January 17, 2002, the Committee of Adjustment granted provisional consent to create a new lot for
the specialized agricultural use. The new lot is proposed to have a lot frontage of 129 metres, a lot
depth of 320 metres and a lot area of approximately 4.1 hectares. The retained lot would have a lot
area of approximately 36.8 hectares. (Application # B-15/01) This application was not appealed.
One of the conditions of Provisional Consent is that the applicant obtain approval from Council for an
amendment to the implementing Zoning By-law which would permit the specialized farm and restrict
residential uses on the lands.

D. ANALYSIS
The Bloom's purchased the 40 hectare property in 1998. Prior to the purchase, the lands were not
actively farmed, apparently for a number of years. The property is currently the site of a small mixed
farming operation with laying hens, broilers, milking goats, sheep, beef and vegetable produce. The
woodlot on the property is used for maple syrup. A portion of the property is rented and is cropped in
hay.
In addition to the above, the Bloom's have been hosting small groups of special needs children on the
property. The intent is to provide these children with outdoor activities that improve their life
experiences.
The Bloom's propose to develop an organic greenhouse operation on the severed parcel. It is
submitted that the soil conditions, climate and location of the lot are ideal. A variety of organic
vegetables and herbs will be produced. This organic produce will be sold in a variety of markets in the
area.
In anticipation of these types of applications, Section 02.3.1 of the 1995 Official Plan contained
policies that provided for the consideration for new lots for agricultural purposes. In accordance with
this section of the Official Plan, a specialized agricultural use was defined as:
Lands where specialized crops such as tender fruits (peaches, cherries, plums) grapes, other
fruit crops, ginseng, vegetable crops, greenhouse crops and crops from agriculturally
developed organic soil lands are predominately grown usually resulting from:
soils that have suitability to produce specialty crops or lands that are subject to
special climatic conditions, or culmination of both; and/or
a combination of farmers skN/ed in the production of specialty crops, and of capital
investments and related facilities to produce, store or process specialty crops.
On the basis of this definition, the Official Plan contains detailed policies that are intended to be
considered by the Committee of Adjustment prior to granting a new lot for this purpose. In order to
assist the Committee of Adjustment in rendering such a decision, a report prepared by Azimuth
Environmental in December 2001 was prepared. The report reviewed whether the severed lands
could be used for other forms of agricultural should the specialty agricultural operation cease, the
viability of the remnant parcel for agricultural use and whether the severed lot would conflict with
adjacent agricultural uses. It was determined in this report that the proposal would comply with the
policies of the Official Plan. The Committee of Adjustment agreed with this assessment.
When the policies on specialty farms were written in 1995, there was concern that the policies would
be used as a way to obtain approval to create a new lot for residential purposes in the Agricultural
designation. It is on this basis that the Official Plan states that any new such lots for specialized farm
purposes cannot be used for residential purposes. In order to implement this intent, an amendment to
the implementing zoning by-law is required.
\ ()~\
"'';
On this basis, it is recommended that Council:
a) receive this report;
b) authorize the scheduling of a public meeting under Section 34 of the Planning Act for
development application P-143/03 (Sherri Ann Watt).

2456
A. PROPOSAL/BACKGROUND
There are a number of properties located on the east side of Scarlett Line (the road that separates
Springwater from Oro-Medonte) and vicinity and other lands lands on the 9th Line north of Highway
400 again in Medonte, that are the subject of this report.
With respect to the lands in the western portion of the former Township of Medonte, it has been
brought to the Township's attention that the mapping of a wetland (Copeland/Craighurst wetland) in
the 1995 Official Plan is incorrect. The boundaries of the wetland in the 1995 Official Plan were
translated into By-law 97-95. A map showing the location of the wetland and the location of the
Environmental Protection One Zone in By-law 97-95 is attached.
Given that the Environmental Protection One designation was implemented by the placing of an EP
Zone on the effected properties, building permits for new buildings and structures cannot be issued by
the Township of Oro-Medonte. At the present time the Township is in receipt of two applications for
building permits in the effected area. We are also aware that another affected parcel (Perkinsview
Holdings) is the subject of a purchase and sale agreement which closes in August 2003. The intent of
the purchaser is to build a home on the lot. Unless the zoning is corrected on these properties, the
Township will not be in a position to issue building permits.
With respect to the lands within Lot 16, Concession 10, it appears as if the stream that shows up on
the Township base map has been incorrectly shown on both the Official Plan and the zoning By-law
Schedules. The result is that the Environmental Protection Zone in the Zoning By-law precludes
development on an existing vacant lot of record on the east side of the 9th Line, north of Highway 400.
In order to correct these problems, the Township has initiated a minor housekeeping amendment to
the By-law to allow affected landowners to develop their properties as proposed.

D. ANALYSIS
The boundaries of the Environmental Protection One designation in the vicinity of Scarlett Line are
open to interpretation. The Ministry of Natural Resources has provided the municipality with mapping
showing the location of the wetlands in this area of the Township. On the basis of a review of that
mapping, it is clear that the 1995 Official Plan is in error. As there are policies in the Official Plan that
provide for interpretation of land use boundaries, an Official Plan Amendment is not required to
provide the basis for changing zone boundaries in the implementing Zoning By-law. However no such
flexibility exists in the By-law and therefore an amendment to the By-law is required. With respect to
the property on the 9th Line, it appears, on the basis of a site visit, that the location of the stream is in
error.
On the basis of the above, the correspondence from the Ministry of Natural Resources and a
site inspection, it is recommended that Council:
a) receive this report;
b) authorize the holding of a public meeting under Section 34 of the Planning Act to
correct EP Zone boundaries.

Ms. Judith Thatcher
P149/03
43-46-010-002-01700-00000
Part Lot 15, Concession 9 (Medonte)
2430
A. PROPOSAL/BACKGROUND
Ms. Thatcher has made an application to rezone certain lands within Part of Lot 15, Concession 9
(Medonte) to permit the development of nine residential lots. These lots are proposed to each have a
frontage of about 31 metres (104 feet) and a depth of 180 metres (592 feet). Each of the lots will also
have a minimum lot area of about 3.8 hectares (9.5 acres). On December 12, 2002 the Committee of
Adjustment granted provisional consent to the creation of the nine lots, each of which will front onto
Moonstone Road (B18/03 and B19/03). One of the conditions of provisional consent is that the lands
be appropriate zoned to permit residential uses.

D. ANALYSIS
As noted above, the application for consent to create nine residential lots fronting on Moonstone Road
was given provisions approval by the Committee of Adjustment on December 12, 2002. Given that
the lands are within the Moonstone Settlement Area, it would have been more preferable to
encourage the development of the lands by Plan of Subdivision, with each of the lots being accessed
Page 1
by a new internal road system. However, the decision of the Committee of the Adjustment was not
appealed and the Municipality now has to process and otherwise deal with an application for rezoning
to implement the decision of the Committee of Adjustment.
One of the issues that led to the delay in the preparation of this report was appropriate information on
whether the additional nine lots could be connected to the Moonstone water system. On June 9,
2003, RG Robinson, after reviewing the application and the water system in detail, concluded that the
additional nine lots on the Thatcher property could be supplied by the existing system. These nine lots
would be in addition to the other proposed developments in Moonstone, as set out in the June 9, 2003
letter, which is attached.
It should be noted that there will be a need for the owner to enter into a development agreement with
the Township respecting the extension of the water line on Moonstone Road to provide services to the
new nine lots. This agreement will provide for the depositing of appropriate securities to ensure that
the work is carried out in a manner that is acceptable to the Municipality. This agreement may also
require Ms. Thatcher to pay his fair share of the historical cost of upgrading the water supply system in
Moonstone. The applicant is aware of this requirement.
Lastly, while the County of Simcoe approved the establishment of nine new entrances on Moonstone
Road, there will be a need to grant a road widening of 2.5 metres to the County and prepare a
stormwater management plan/report to ensure that any drainage form the site will not effect the
drainage system associated with County Road 19. These conditions could also be dealt with through
the development agreement.
On the basis of the above, it is my opinion that there is enough information for the public to
understand the general nature of the application pursuant to Section 34 of the Planning Act.
e. RECOMMENDATION
On this basis, it is recommended that Council:
a) receive this report; and,
b) authorize the holding of a public meeting under Section 34 of the Planning Act to
consider the zoning of the affected lots;

Barrie Terrace and Greenwood Forest Road

ISSUE
The purpose of the proposed zoning change is to apply proper zoning to lots which front on two
streets in the shoreline area (Greenwood Forest Road and Barrie Terrace) Both of these streets were
considered to be private roads at the time By-law 97-95 was passed by Council. It is on this basis that
all lots fronting on these roads are currently zoned Residential Limited Service (H) according to the
By-law. About 22 lots on the south side of Barrie Terrace and 15 lots on the south side of Greenwood
Forest Road are affected.
According to both the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, the development of new homes or the
enlargement or expansion of existing homes is not permitted on these lots, unless either the road is
brought up to municipal standards or an agreement is entered into that would acknowledge the
absence of municipal services on these roads. Given that both roads are now considered to be public
roads, the zoning of the lots on these two roads has restricted landowners from developing their
properties. On the basis of the above, it is considered to be appropriate to rezone these lots and
place these lots in the standard Shoreline Residential Zone.
In order to effect this change, an Amendment to the zoning by-law is required.
RECOMMENDATION
On this basis, it is recommended that Council:
a) receive this report; and,
b) authorize the holding of a public meeting under Section 34 of the Planning Act to
consider the zoning of the affected lots;

East Half of Lot 2, Range 2 (Oro)
2419
A. PROPOSAL/BACKGROUND
Mr. Reiss has submitted an application to rezone lands within Part of Lot 2, Range 2 in the former
Township of Oro. The land is located south of the Arbourwood Subdivision and Red Oak Crescent
and immediately north of the former CNR corridor. The lot has an area of about 6.29 hectares and is
currently vacant. The lands were draft approved for 8 residential lots pursuant to File No. 43T -94004
in 1998. The plan was red-line revised in 2002 to permit a total of 9 residential building lots. The
draft plan, as revised, details 9 residential building lots, a storm water management facility block, and
one walkway block. The plan details two cul-de-sac roads connecting to Red Oak Crescent providing
access to the proposed lots
The Zoning By-law zones the subject lands Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) zone. The applicant has
requested the rezoning of the subject lands to satisfy condition #5 of the Draft Plan Approval.

D. ANALYSIS
The subject lands are designated RURAL SETTLEMENT AREA on Schedule A2 to the Township's
Official Plan. The lands are draft plan approved for a total of nine new residential building lots.
Council, at its August 29, 2001 meeting, approved the redesign and layout of the subdivision. The
applicant retained Wilson Associates Limited to carry out the technical studies required pursuant to
the Official Plan and the Draft Plan Approval. This study, dated April 11, 2003, confirms that the
proposed subdivision would comply with the MOE guidelines for development on private services. As
\
\
of June 23, 2003, it is my understanding that the applicant is working with towards satisfying all the
conditions of draft approval towards the registration of the plan of subdivision.
On the basis of the above, it is recommended that Council:
a) receive this report;
b) schedule the public meeting to consider the application and the proposed rezoning of
the draft plan.
