Dear Jennifer:
Thank you, for your offer to accept my written questions in advance and your commitment to
providing written answers.
, .
~er speaking with a number of people I have listed what is believed to be the points that were
made at the meeting on January 7, 2003. What is needed at this time is confirmation that .the
information in this list is correct or written corrections where needed. Also, the township lawyer
promised to provide a Written summary of the legislation concerning the 40-year expiry of
encumbrances on park:1and.
. .
While age has taken its toll on my hearing and my ability to control my emotions in stressful '
situations as wen as I would lik.~ It has increased my appreciation of the need to protect our natural
heritage so that its available for enjoyment and responsible use by aJI.
It is very difficult for me to handle meetings where order and respect ,for the person speaking is not
controlled by. a chairman. Asa result, I am requesting that someone read aloud and respond to each
of these points at the meeting.
I am very distressed at the 'possibility of some of the finest lakeftont property in Oro-Medonte being
lost to public use forever. I am unable to understand how anyone elected to council believes that
they are doing what is best for the people of Oro-Medonte by voting for this plan.
Respectfully,
~RI%~

1. Copies of Council and Committee minutes for the month of November, 2001 and the first two
weeks of December 2001.

4. A summary of Plan 589 appraisal values and length offtontage for each property.
Should the length of ftontage for each property not be available, then simply provide me with
the total appraised value for these properties.
I do not need the full appraisal report but will take it if a list is not otherwise available.
Please telephone me when this information is available and I will come to the township office and
pick it up. Ifsome of the information takes longer to prepare please telephone me as each request
becomes available. It is essential to me that I get this information as soon as possible.
In addition at the Plan 709 meetings held on January 7 and January 11,2003 the township lawyer
promised that he would provide me with a written explanation of the 40 year expiry law. Please
advise when I might expect to receive this.

Subject: Wedding at the African Church
Your Honour the Mayor, and Council:
Please consider my request for permission to use the Historical African Church for my Wedding to be held on
June 21 2003 at 4:30 in the afternoon. I would consider this a great privilege and honour. I met with Tim
Crawford at the church in July of 2002, He assured me that I need not worry and I received the go ahead to
plan my wedding. Tim has recently informed me that he just put in a request on my behalf to the township for
use of the church, but that it will still have to go to council.
The ceremony will be short with a small group of my closest friends and family. We understand the capacity of
the church and respect that with a guest list of 70-80 people. I want for the church to remain as close to original
as possible There will be no Tacky frills such as pre-recorded music or bows and ribbons. I discussed with Mr.
Crawford the possibility of constructing some replica benches out of barn board for extra seating, and that was
fine with him, other than that we would love to have flower boxes under the windows which could be removed
without damage to the church or left at the request of the historical society.
This has been my wish since I was first in the church as a girl guide. I lived around the corner from the church
all my life and I feel so strongly for the church that I would never want to see it harmed or changed in any way.
Tim Crawford seemed thrilled with the idea of holding such a special occasion at this Historic site.
Thank-you for your consideration,
Looking forward to your response, Odia Dibben, Danny Carr, Family, and Friends.

Memo To Clerk Marilyn Pennycook
From Tim Crawford, Chairperson, Oro-Medonte History Committee
Re: Request to Use The African Church, NHS, For A Wedding
Sometime ago an Oro family approached me about the possible use of the church for a
wedding. They would use the church for about one hour maximum, and I would be in
attendance. It is my observation that a wedding would honour the Church and bring a
"bit of life" to it.
.
The bride is a long-time Oro resident who walked by the Church as a young girl and
was captivated by it.
Her parents indicate that they would do the following:
(i) replicate the current benches making 7 "new" ones
(ii) make flower boxes for the windows, which would not be nailed on, but would
be left in place should we determine that they add to the appearance of the church
(Hi) clean the church.
There might be a "contract" of some type that the Township uses when one of its
facilities is used for non-Township activities. It might deal with liability.
RECOMMENDATION
that approval be given for a wedding this spring in the Oro African Church, NHS,
on the condition that one of the members of the history committee be in
attendance, to open the building, lock it up afterward and assure that there is no
smoking in or near the Church.
If there is a fee which usually is involved in making Township venues available for non-
Township activities, we recommend that the fee be waived because the particular
activity is a religious service.
Respectfully ~~bm~'tted'

Health? The West Nile Virus will continue to be a problem and with the stormwater ponds
this could be a potential health problem and a nesting ground for the larvae. Chair
Anderson strongly suggested working with the Ministry of Health to alleviate future
problems.
Mike Walters responded to these concerns by advising that the Authority is working with
the Health Department of York Region in this regard. A mosquito problem with the
stormwater ponds has been identified and work is being done with the engineE?ring
departments regarding the design of a living eco system to eliminate the mosquito problem.
. There is still more work to be done in this area however it is certainly being addressed.
Gayle Wood advised that the Authorities within the Greater Toronto Area are aware of this
issue and there is a meeting scheduled to discuss the impacts of the West Nile Virus on
Stormwater Management Ponds. It is anticipated that a strategy will be developed, which
will be distributed to Committee Members once available.
State of the Watershed Report
Mike Walters delivered a PowerPoint presentation on the State of the Watershed Report,
which has been developed by both the Authority and the Ministry of Natural Resources.
The report, in draft form, has been distributed to the Steering, Technical and
Communications Committees for review and comment by January 20th, 2003. It is expected
that the final report will be ready for distribution by the end of February 2003.

LSEMS Executive Advisory Committee
Minutes - January 1th, 2003
Garfield Dunlop, MPP, requested information on the Municipal Drainage Act as it relates
to agricultural runoff to Lake Simcoe and asked if these drains require certificates of
approval. Mike Walters advised that municipal drains are developed based on rural runoff
and industrial factors do not affect this. -
Chair Bridge advised that the municipal drains fall under the Drainage Act. Environmental
issues with agricultural drains have been improving with the implementation of Best
Management Practices. The Authority will continue to work with the Ministry of Agriculture
and Food and the agricultural community to investigate how this can best be dealt with.
Mr. Dunlop asked if perhaps the Drainage Act needs to be amended. Gayle Wood
responded that it would be best to continue working together to develop asolution.
WebBased.Provincial Pilot Proiect
Mike Walters provided an interactive demonstration of the LSEMS website (www.lsems.info)
and invited all Committee Members to visit this site and provide their comments using the
"contact us" option. The Authority is the lead agency on this project, which has been made
possible through funding by the Ministry of the Environment, administered through the
Ministry of Natural Resources.
The website will continue to be under development until February 2003, and will be
officially launched thereafter.
4. 2003 Workplan
Gayle provided a brief review of the 2003 Workplan, which was included with the agenda.
Gayle informed the Members of the Executive .Advisory Committee that their input into the
Workplan is very valuable and advised that it would be very beneficial to meet with this
Committee once per year. It is the financial support of the LSEMS partners around the.
table being invested in the environmental projects identified and therefore the endorsement
of the Executive Advisory Committee is essential. If there is anything that has been
excluded from the 2003 Workplan, please advise Gayle.
5.. Next Meetin~
Gayle Wood advised that the Executive Advisory Committee will meet once per year in
January, or as identified by the Committee.

the EAC can extend invitations to their staff to attend the meetings. .
Chair Roger Anderson asked if LSEMS has achieved everything in their 2002 Workplan?
Gayle Wood, on behalf of the Steering Committee, advised that everything the LSEMS
Committees' set out to achieve has been accomplished although may not be to the same
timeliness as had been anticipated.
Chair Anderson complimented the LSEMS Committees on the 2002 Workplan Report,
which was, tabled at the meeting advising it is a good source of information. Chair

ORO-MEDONTE HISTORY COMl'tUTTEE MINUTES
January 22,2003
The meeting was held in the Old Town HaU at 7:30pm.
In attendance: Tim Crawford, Chair; Jadeen Henderson, Vice-chair; Sheila Kirkland
Regrets: Mary Garbutt, GeoffBooth, and Bruce Wiggins
1. First on the agenda was the request from the Starr fanlily regarding nanling the corner near
Hardwood Hills.
Motion: That the Oro-1\-fedonte History Committee has no objections to naming
the intersection of the 6th Line and the Old Barrie Road, Morningstar Corners.
1vloved by Jadeen Henderson. Seconded by Sheila Kirkland. Carried.
Comments and Observations
Originally there was a hotel at that comer called the Morningstar Hotel. This fact has been
documented in the booklet The HiUs of Oro: And Other Pioneer Landmarks, which was
published by the History Committee.
e
The Committee felt that the corner in question should be named after the hotel rather than called
Star's Comers-the subsequent surname of the family who owned the hotel. It was felt that we
were not prepared to pay to have fanlily nanles appear throughout the township at intersections,
and acknowledged that appropriate signage may be erected on private property, by families
sharing their fanlily heritage with the public.
On the one hand the Committee assumed that Council would be aware that the naming of the
comer in question seems to be a precedent. On the other hand, the Committee is enthusiastic
about any acknowledgement of our heritage and would encourage the public" participation and
contribution.
We agreed the Roads Department should be involved in deternlining the location of the signs.
In recent memory another corner was named - Knox Corners - and this might be the precedent.
There is neither record nor memory of the History Committee being involved in, or approving
this nanle. There was some concern, after the fact, that the name could /should have been
Galbraith's Corners, for Galbraith's Hotel was at one time located there, Nevertheless Knox
Church and Cemetery have been a landmark there since the very early pioneer days.
e
Other items In Brief
In that this meeting was called with fairly short notice, to address one or two items, and a number
of members could not attend, discussion on other issues was kept to a minimum. Nevertheless
we had a discussion on what might be called housekeeping matters.

2. Two photos of a white man and a black man in a carriage were fran1ed by Don & Gail
Robinson and donated by Sharon Ryther to committee member Jadeen Henderson who in
turn presented them to the Committee. A brief "thank you" note has been sent to those
involved in supplying these framed photos. Sometime in the future further
acknowledgement, perhaps involving Council, will be planned.
3. We would like to begin holding monthly meetings again, and have established a tentative
evening slot- the first Wednesday of the month beginning in March. Township staff is now
pern1itting us to again borrow a key of the administration building; this privilege was
withdrawn for a number of years. The meetings will be held there at the usual time, 7:30pm.
4. There was some discussion about the missing World War 1 guns. This lead to a discussion
of all "outstanding projects or initiatives" that the Committee has. A list is to be prepared by
the Chairperson for review by the Committee.
5. As a result of Eunice Johnston's departure we are in need of a Committee Secretary. Jadeen
Henderson moved Seconded by Tim Crawford that Sheila Kirkland becomes secretary.
Carned.
6. Road signage and plaques was discussed briefly and Tim will ask GeoffBooth ifhe can
pursue this.
7. We will buy. a forn1 of ledger to list articles given to the History Committee and where they
are now.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:50pm.

APPLICATION NO.: A-3/03
ROLL NUMBER: 4346010009 60200
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Cone. 9, West Part of Lot 27 (Oro)
, PROPOSAL
I
The applicant is requesting relief from the Shoreline Residential Zone minimum required interior
side yard setback of 3.0 metres (9.84 feet) to 1.68 metres (5.51 feet) to permit the construction of a
house and attached garage.
J AGENCY COMMENTS
I
Building Department: The Township Building Department has reviewed the application and a
sewage system approval would be required for construction of a new
house.
Roads Department: No concerns.
DOES THE VARIANCE CONFORM WITH THE GENERAL INTENT OF THE
OFFICIAL PLAN?
The subject property is designated Shoreline (Section DlO) in the Township's Official Plan. The
intent of the Official Plan policies is to protect the natural features of the shoreline area and to
maintain the existing character of the residential area. It appears the new dwelling will not have an
impact on the shoreline; therefore the application appears to conform with the policies of the
Official Plan.
DOES THE VARIANCE CONFORM WITH THE GENERAL INTENT OF THE
ZONING BY -LAW PROVISIONS?
The subject property is zoned Shoreline Residential (SR) in the Township's Zoning By-
law 97-95, as amended. The intent of the By-law is to establish setback requirements,
which assist in preserving the natural shoreline and maintaining the residential character.
The proposed replacement of the dwelling and addition of the garage would create an
aesthetically pleasing lot within the shoreline residential area. The proposed variance
would appear to maintain the intent of the Zoning By-law provisions.
e
It
IS THE VARIANCE DESIRABLE FOR THE APPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENT OR USE
OF THE LAND?
Upon site inspection it does not appear that the proposed reduced side yard will have an adverse
affect to the adjourning property. In fact it will have a larger setback than the previous cottage
located on the lot.
J IS THE VARIANCE MINOR IN NATURE?
I
The proposed variance is considered minor in nature on the basis that the variance would not
appear to affect any surrounding neighbours.
, RECOMMENDATION
I
It is recommended that Minor Variance Application A-3/03 be GRANTED subject to the
following list of conditions;
1. That 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.
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;
4. That all municipal taxes be paid to the Township of Oro-Medonte.
5. That the applicant obtains approval for a Part 8 Sewage Application from the Township of
Oro-Medonte.

on November 14 , 2002from 1.5 metres (4.92feet) to 0.975 metres (3.2feet) to recognize an
existing dwelling.
I AGENCY COMMENTS
I
Building Department: No concerns
Roads Department: No concerns
DOES THE VARIANCE CONFORM WITH THE GENERAL INTENT OF THE
OFFICIAL PLAN?
The subject property is designated Agricultural in the Township's Official Plan. The
general intent of the policies is to preserve the agricultural lands of the Township and to
maintain the open countryside. The existing dwelling would generally conform to the
intent of the Official Plan policies, given the location of the property to agricultural lands.

ZONING BY-LAW PROVISIONS?
The subject property is zoned AgriculturallRural (AlRU) in Zoning By-law 97-95 as
amended. The intent of the Zoning By-law is to establish setbacks to maintain the
character of the agricultural area. The proposed variance would permit an existing
dwelling to be permitted 0.975 metres (3.2 feet) away from the interior property line.

\\)C\~\
IS THE VARIANCE DESIRABLE FORTHE APPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENT OR USE
OF THE LAND?
Upon site inspection it is evident that the addition does not appear to affect any of the
surrounding neighbours as the addition has been in existence for a number of years, therefore the
variance would be desirable on the lot.
I IS THE VARIANCE MINOR IN NA TORE? I
A field survey conducted by the applicants' surveyor determined that the yards are 3.2 feet and
4.9 feet whereas the Committee approved 3.7 feet and 5.4 feet. The proposed variance is
considered minor in nature on the basis that the variance would not appear to affect any
surrounding neighbours and has been in existence for a while.

TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MEDONTE
I REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF
ADJUSTMENT
I
REPORT NO.: COF A 2003-A4
PREPARED BY: Gary Smith
DATE: February 6, 2003
APPLICANT: Mark & Ricki Harris
APPLICATION NO.: A-4/03
ROLL NUMBER: 4346010011 280
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 7, Plan 615; Part Lot 1, Plan 653 (Oro)
I PROPOSAL
I
The applicant is requesting relief from the required maximum height of a boathouse from 4.5
metres (14. 76feet) to 5.7 metres (18.7 feet). The applicant is also requesting relieffrom the width
of a lot that will exceed 30% of the width of the lot from 7.4 metres (24.28 feet) to 7.92 metres
(25.98feet)for the construction of a boathouse and deck.
I AGENCY COMMENTS
,
Building Department: The Township Building Department has reviewed this application and
confirms that the proposal appears to meet the minimum standards. As well, the boathouse may
not be located within 16 feet of the septic bed tile.
Roads Department: Drainage between properties from Robinson St. to lake must remain.
DOES THE VARIANCE CONFORM WITH THE GENERAL INTENT OF THE
OFFICIAL PLAN?
The subject property is designated Shoreline in the Township's Official Plan. The general
intent of the Official Plan Policies is to protect the natural features of the shoreline area
and to maintain the existing character of the residential area. It appears that the
boathouse as a use will not have a negative impact upon the shoreline but the use of the
storey above the actual boathouse as a habitable area and the additional height may be
having an affect contrary to the Official Plan Policies.
DOES THE VARIANCE CONFORM WITH THE GENERAL INTENT OF THE
ZONING BY -LAW PROVISIONS?
The subject property is zoned Shoreline Residential (SR) in the Township's Zoning By-
law 97-95, as amended. The intent of the By-law is to establish setback, height and other
uses which assist in preserving the natural shoreline and maintaining the residential
character. The boathouse as proposed does not conform to the Zoning By-law
e
e
requirements in a few areas, especially those pertaining to the proposed habitable storey
and the additional height may have a negative impact upon the adjoining properties.
IS THE VARIANCE DESIRABLE FOR THE APPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENT OR USE
OF THE LAND?
Upon site inspection it appears that the proposed boathouse will impact surrounding neighbours
in a negative manner and further could set a precedence pennitting larger boathouses and thereby
changing the basic intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law preservation and enhancement
of the existing shoreline.
'IS THE VARIANCE MINOR IN NATURE?
