PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE RE: Application for Zoning By-law Amendment Z2014 04 (Meek- Kennel)

SUBJECT: Planning Memorandum No. 1

COMMENTS:

The purpose of this report is to provide the Committee and Council with background information and a planning recommendation related to an application for Zoning By-law Amendment, File No. Z 2014 04, filed by Bonnie and William Meek. The purpose of the amendment is to permit a kennel as an accessory use on a property comprised of approximately 10 hectares (24.94 acres) and occupied by an existing single detached dwelling. The kennel is proposed to occupy an approximately 45 m² converted portion of an existing detached garage plus an approximately 16 m² addition, and would also include outdoor runs. The owners of the property reside in the dwelling on the property and would be the operators of the kennel. The owners advise that they are contemplating having space for up to 8 cats/small animals and up to 18 dogs. There would be nine kennel runs which could accommodate up to 18 dogs.

The effect of the amendment is to rezone the subject lands from “Rural” (RU)” to “Rural- Exception Sixty-Two (RU-E62)” and establish special provisions for the RU-E62 zone to permit a kennel.

The lands affected by the Amendment are located at 1676 Stafford Second Line, in Part 1 on Plan 49R-11711 in Part Lot 13, Concession 2, geographic Township of Stafford.

The general provisions of the zoning by-law require that a kennel must be at least 60 metres from a Residential zone or any building containing dwelling units or any dwelling on another lot if such kennel has more than four (4) outdoor runs or more than 30 square metres of total outdoor facilities for animals. Based on a review of aerial photography, the closest existing dwelling is located approximately 80 metres from the front of the existing building proposed to be used for the kennel. The undeveloped area of the property is heavily treed as illustrated by the air photo. The existing trees and the separation distances would also assist in acting as a sound buffer.

A maximum size restriction for the kennel can also be included in the site specific zoning exception to assist in addressing concerns.

Disposal of waste from domestic pets would typically occur at the landfill site. With regard to pets of other property owners being potentially attracted to the pets being boarded at the kennel, it is noted that the Township’s Animal control by-law places the onus of responsibility on all pet owners to ensure that their pets are properly restrained so that they cannot go wandering onto other people’s properties.

The proposed amendment complies with the Official Plan and the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS).

Comments from the Public or Agencies At the time of writing of this report, the only written comments had been received from two property owners, one letter from Robert Leach and Kathryn Cowell and the other from Ray Cliche who also attended to the Township office and spoke with the Planner. A copy of the May 23, 2014 letter objecting to the proposal is attached to this report and outlines their concerns with the proposed rezoning. For reference purposes, I have attached an air photo showing the location of the proposed kennel in relation to the Leach/Cowell properties and the nearest surrounding dwellings. The closest point on the nearest vacant consent lot created by Mr. Leach is approximately 140 metres from the building proposed to be used for the kennel. The

Page 2 of 3

PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE RE: Application for Zoning By-law Amendment Z2014 04 (Meek- Kennel)

SUBJECT: Planning Memorandum No. 1

closest farm building on Mr. Cliché’s property to the proposed kennel is approximately 875 metres away and his dwelling is approximately 939 metres away from the proposed kennel building.

SUMMARY

Staff recommends approval of the Application for Zoning By-law Amendment File No. Z 2014 04 and that Council pass the proposed amending By-law No. 2014-06-027. Alternatively should placing a size restriction on the maximum number of animals that can be housed at the kennel at one time address concerns, an alternative version of the By-law can be recommended and prepared for passing at the June 17, 2014, Regular Council meeting that would include such maximum as directed by Committee/Council.

Dear Ms. Armstrong, Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment (Application File No. Z-2014-04)

We have recently invested in the subdivision of our land creating three residential lots kiddie corner to the said parcel of land requesting amendment.

The sound of the dogs would be detrimental to the sale of the lots and to anyone residin1~ in the immediate area. Furthermore, we feel it would be disturbing to the quality of life living in t he proximity of this proposed business.

Perhaps if the kennels were built at the back of the lot, it would not be such a concern.

We are opposed to this plan.

Yours truly,

Robert G. leach and Kathryn Cowell 10 ~ "'1/L>"". L

PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE RE: Application for Zoning By-law Amendment Z2014 04 (Meek- Kennel)

SUBJECT: Planning Memorandum No. 2 – Additional Information in Response to Questions from Public Consultation

COMMENTS:

The purpose of this report is to provide the Committee and Council with some follow-up information to address some of the questions or concerns raised by members of the public as part of the public consultation for application filed by Bonnie and William Meek for Zoning By- law Amendment File No. Z 2014 04 to permit a kennel.

Issues Raised

Based on two written submissions, the Township Planner’s discussion with the author of one of the written submissions and a telephone conversation on June 2, 2014, with an additional property owner, the following is a summary of the types of concerns/questions that were raised:

1. Concerns with regard to noise from barking dogs, particularly at night.

2. Concerns with regard to unrestrained dogs leaving the property and hurting or disturbing livestock on other farm properties in the area.

3. Concerns with regard to dog/cat faeces getting in to the water table and contaminating wells in the area.

4. Concerns with regard to animals at the kennel in heat attracting other animals in the neighbourhood.

5. Concern with regard to the proposed kennel also including the sale of pets.

Responses to Issues Raised

The various issues were discussed with the applicant on June 2, 2014, and the following clarifications are provided based on what controls already exist or can be applied for the Township to address any concerns and based on what the applicant has advised will be the operational practices.

1. The applicant has advised that they propose to keep pets inside overnight. The Township’s “Pet Control By-law 06-01-271, as amended, specifies that no person shall allow their animal to become a common nuisance by howling or barking

2. When outdoors animals would be contained within the fenced-in runs or would be otherwise restrained on leashes or in cages if outdoors.

3. Feces would be disposed of at the waste disposal site and not on the property.

4. Animals would not be kept outdoors overnight. Per the “Pet Control By-law”, it is also the responsibility of each pet owner to ensure that their pets are restrained at all times and/or contained on their own property so as to not trespass on the property of others.

5. There is no proposal to sell animals.

As indicated in Memorandum No. 1 issued on May 29, 2014, the site specific provisions of the by-law can also be revised to include a maximum size on the kennel.

Page 2 of 3

PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE RE: Application for Zoning By-law Amendment Z2014 04 (Meek- Kennel)

SUBJECT: Planning Memorandum No. 2 – Additional Information in Response to Questions from Public Consultation

The property where the kennel is proposed is comprised of approximately 10 hectares (24.94 acres) and occupied by an existing single detached dwelling. The total building area proposed to be used for the kennel is approximately 61 m² (656.6 square feet) including existing and new construction, and nine outdoor runs are proposed that could accommodate two dogs per run. The owners of the property reside in the dwelling on the property and would be the operators of the kennel. The owners advise that they are contemplating having space for up to 8 cats/small animals and up to 18 dogs.

Based on a review of aerial photography, the closest existing dwelling is located approximately 80 metres from the front of the existing building proposed to be used for the kennel. The undeveloped area of the property is heavily treed and the existing trees and the separation distances would also assist in acting as a sound buffer.

SUMMARY

As the issues raised by members of the public can be addressed through “The Pet Control By- law” and compliance with the setbacks in the Zoning By-law, Staff continues to recommend approval of the Application for Zoning By-law Amendment File No. Z 2014 04 and that Council pass the proposed amending By-law No. 2014-06-027. Alternatively should placing a size restriction on the maximum number of animals that can be housed at the kennel at one time assist in further addressing public concerns, an alternative version of the By-law can be recommended and prepared for passing at the June 17, 2014, Regular Council meeting that would include such maximum as directed by Committee/Council.

PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AND COUNCIL RE: Application for Zoning By-law Amendment Z2014 05 - Gorr

SUBJECT: Planning Memorandum No. 1

provide care to his parents while maintaining some independence. As there is no mechanism for the Township to control occupancy or ownership, the proposal is reviewed on the basis of whether a two-unit dwelling is appropriate on the subject property regardless of who occupies the units.

The effect of the amendment is to rezone the subject lands from “Rural” (RU)” to “Rural- Exception Sixty-Three (RU-E63)” and establish special provisions for the RU-E63 zone to permit a two unit dwelling. The area of the property that is currently zoned Environmental Protection (EP) is to remain so zoned. The lands affected by the Amendment are located at 597 Derions Road, in the south half of Lot 15, Concession 6, geographic Township of Alice.

The property is currently identified as one roll number which includes lands on both sides of Derions Road. As the road physically intersects the property there is actually a natural severance. The zoning by-law amendment only applies to the area of land associated with that roll number that is the part south of Derions Road where the existing dwelling is located. An aerial photograph is attached which illustrates the subject lands and surroundings. At approximately 10.1 hectares (25 acres), the property is large enough to accommodate a two- unit dwelling on an individual private well and septic system and is considered as an appropriate use on the property. Renovations will be in accordance with the requirements of the Building Code.

The proposed amendment complies with the Official Plan and the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS).

Comments from the Public or Agencies At the time of writing of this report, no comments had been received from the public or any public bodies/agencies.

SUMMARY: Staff recommends approval of the Application for Zoning By-law Amendment File No. Z 2014 05 and that the proposed amending By-law No. 2014-06-028, be forwarded to the June 17, 2014, Regular Council Meeting for passing by Council.

Hoffman in order to satisfy conditions of the approval of Consent File No. B100/13 and forwards By-law No. 2014-06-029 to the By-law portion of the June 17, 2014, Regular Council Meeting for passing.

BACKGROUND: Location of Round Lake Road, being Part 1, Plan 49R-866, in Part Lot 5, Conc. 9, Property: geographic Township of Alice

Roll Numbers: Severed Lot: 47-66-074-060-05510 Owner/Applicant: Robert C. Hoffman

OP Designation: Rural and Environmental Protection Zoning: Rural-Exception Sixty-One (RU-E61) and Environmental Protection (EP) Existing Land Undeveloped proposed severed lot Use: Proposed Land Single detached residential dwelling on the proposed severed lot Use: Servicing: Individual private wells and septic systems Access: Proposed Round Lake Road

COMMENTS:

The purpose of this report is to provide the Committee and Council with background information and a planning recommendation related to an application for Zoning By-law Amendment, File No. Z 2014 03, filed by Robert Hoffman. The purpose of the application is satisfy a condition of consent approval required by the Township. The County of Renfrew approved Application for Consent File No. B100/13, on March 17, 2014, subject to several conditions to be addressed within one year of the decision in order for the approval to be finalized. The consent would sever a new 4046 square metre (1 acre) residential lot with approximately 64 metres of frontage

Page 1 of 2

PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE RE: Development Agreement with Robert C. Hoffman - Condition of Approval of Consent File No. B100/13 SUBJECT: Planning Memorandum No. 1

from 9342 Round Lake Road, and retain a lot comprised of approximately 2.27 hectares (5.61 acres) of land with 177 metres of frontage on Round Lake Road.

The Agreement is required to address two of the conditions of approval of County of Renfrew Application for Consent File No. B100/13 which is required to be entered into before the consent can be finalized. The agreement includes the identification of the proposed building envelope on the severed lot as approved by MNR, timing restrictions and construction protocols related to the protection of species at risk to satisfy a condition of the Ministry of Natural Resources related to the Endangered Species Act, reinforcement of 25 metre setback for a new dwelling and well from adjacent areas zoned EM or EMR and a clause that provides notice for owners/purchasers that there may be pits and quarries in the area and therefore associated impacts of noise, dust, truck traffic, etc., per Council’s requirement when conditional support was provided for the severance application. As the Township condition requiring an amendment to the Zoning By-law is now in place as no appeals were received, the Agreement is the final requirement to clear the conditions for final approval of the consent.

As the Agreement is only required to be registered on title to the severed lot, an undertaking is also included from the applicant’s lawyer, Blair Jones, to ensure that after the certificate of consent is registered at the Registry Office, the Agreement will be registered on title by Mr. Jones and proof will be provided back to the Township.

SUMMARY:

Staff recommends that the Mayor and CAO be authorized to enter into the Development Agreement per By-law No. 2014-06-029, in order to satisfy the conditions of consent required by the Township and the Ministry of Natural Resources.

CORPORATE SERVICES COMMITTEE

TO: Corporate Services Committee FROM: Dean Sauriol, CAO DATE: June 3, 2014 SUBJECT: Restructuring of Council Honorarium

RECOMMENDATION

That the Corporate Services Committee recommends to Council in Committee that Council forward bylaw 2014-06-030 a by-law to provide Remuneration of the Mayor, Reeve and members of Council, Officers and persons appointed to Local Boards and Committees to the June 17th, 2014 Regular Council Meeting for enactment.

BACKGROUND

Because of the upcoming election and the changes that have been made to council compliment and the committee structure it is an appropriate time to review the remuneration bylaw for the upcoming term.

Changes and additions that have been incorporated into the bylaw are as follows: • We have adjusted slightly the honorarium for members which will see a minor increase to Mayors Salary. The Reeve and Councillor salary has been increased to incorporate the membership on committees into it. No longer will member be compensated separately for membership on Committees other than Special Ad Hoc Committees.

• Chair compensation will be limited to Standing Committees

This bylaw will strictly deal with council remuneration other costs that were historically included in this bylaw such as expenses, mileage, car allowance will now be under separate cover.

PEOPLE CONSULTED

Charlene Jackson, Treasurer

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

This bylaw will not change a major impact on the bottom line to the budget in remuneration. However it will somewhat change the structure and way it is paid. The actual costs won’t necessarily be known until all the committees and participation is known.

RECOMMENDATION

That the Corporate Services Committee recommends to Council in Committee that Council forward bylaw 2014-06-031 a by-law to provide Expenses and Allowance for Council , Officers, persons appointed to Local Boards and Committees to the June 17th, 2014 Regular Council Meeting for enactment.

Then individual meals have been individualized with a set fee. If some of the meals are provided at an event then that particular fee will not be eligible.

The mileage rate has been imbedded in this bylaw and extracted from the remuneration bylaw in order to keep all expenses together.

This bylaw will be reviewed on a yearly basis

PEOPLE CONSULTED Charlene Jackson, Treasurer

Seasonal Reduced Loading As of May 31, 2014, seasonal reduced loading (half loads) will be lifted from all Township Roads. In previous years the load restrictions have been lifted earlier, but heavier snowfalls and a late spring thaw kept the reduced loading in place longer. Staff annual consult with the County of Renfrew and neighboring Municipalities to coordinate the start removal dates of the restriction.

Liquid Calcium Application Gravel roads will be graded starting June 2nd in preparation for the annual application of liquid calcium. The first load will be delivered on June 6th and will continue every few days for approximately 2 weeks. Roads near active gravel pits and residential areas are scheduled to be completed first.

Collection Contract The second draft collection contract has been reviewed by all three Municipalities. The Consultant is anticipating that the tender will be called by mid-June. The current collection contract expires March 31, 2015.

Annual AORS Tradeshow The annual AORS Public Works Tradeshow runs from June 3rd to 5th. The 2014 show is being hosted by the Road Supervisors Association in Arnprior. The event is expected to attract almost 3,000 people from across Ontario and western Quebec. All Township works staff will be attending the show and some are volunteering with various duties including parking and assisting with the setup and takedown.

Ontario One Call Staff have been working with Ontario One Call to complete our mandatory registration. The last of the mapping was forwarded this week and the Township should be online with the utility notification system within 2 weeks. Provincial legislation requires all Municipalities to join the network by this summer. All utility companies were required to join by 2013.
