Kent Randall, Planning Consultant gave a brief overview of the proposal to date and what led to the Public Meeting relating to the applications.

In September 2010, the applicants were granted conditional approval of a consent, to sever a 1.29 ha. parcel that included the original farm house as a surplus dwelling. The severed property was also subject to Minor Variance File A-16/10, which recognized a maximum lot area of 1.29 ha. In March 2012, the owner agreed that the original residential dwelling would be demolished once a new residential building was constructed on the severed lot and an occupancy permit was obtained for the new dwelling. The owner, through Clark Consulting Services submitted an application for a Temporary Use Bylaw, on January 30, 2018, under Section 39.1 of the Planning Act. The application was deemed complete on February 8, 2018. The purpose of the Temporary Use Bylaw was to recognize and permit the original dwelling as a garden suite, for a period of 10 years.

Special Council Meeting Public Meeting Minutes February 11, 2019 Page 2 of 5

Page 18 of 182 Agenda Item #3.2.

A statutory public meeting was held on April 28, 2018 to discuss the Temporary Use Bylaw application before Council. As noted at the public meeting, and in a previous report submitted by EcoVue Consulting Services Inc., it was the opinion of staff that the application was not consistent with the temporary use/garden suite requirements within the Planning Act or the Township of Ramara Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw. An alternative approach was sought by Council, staff and the applicant, that would provide a suitable outcome. After discussions it was recommended by staff that the applicant withdraw the Temporary Use Bylaw Amendment request and submit an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning Bylaw Amendment application to recognize the second dwelling in an Agricultural designation and zone.

The special designation and special zone that will be put on the property, will recognize and permit a secondary dwelling unit on the lot. Site specific policies will be incorporated into both the Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw for the Township of Ramara.

The original dwelling is serviced with municipal water through a connection to the Brechin municipal water system. The connection is made through a watermain extension that was constructed in 1996. After the surplus severance was granted approval in 2010, the watermain now crosses a separate property by way of an easement. It is understood that the Township had requested that an easement over the subject property be conveyed to the Township for the purposes of providing an extension of the watermain from the north edge of the subject lands to the existing dwellings on the south side of Concession Road 3. This easement was never conveyed to the Township. The applicants are proposing that the new dwelling unit, being the prime dwelling unit, utilize this existing municipal water connection. It should be noted that the easement and servicing extension proposed on the western side of the property does not have any bearing on the proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zoning Bylaw Amendment.

In 2012 the Planning Act was amended to include a requirement that Official Plans and Zoning Bylaws permit secondary dwelling units. According to Sections 16(3) and 35.1, these units may be wholly contained within a detached, semi-detached or rowhouse dwelling unit, or within a separate structure that is ancillary to a detached semi-detached or rowhouse dwelling unit. The Planning Act establishes secondary dwelling units as of right where residential uses are permitted, however, the municipality may control where and how such units are established through zoning, including regulating size, scale and location relative to the primary unit. Both the Township of Ramara Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw predate the Planning Act changes, therefore a site specific amendment to both documents is required for the establishment of secondary dwelling unit on the property.

The proposal overall is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The County of Simcoe Official Plan permits secondary units subject to the provision of adequate servicing. Section 3.3.3 of the County Official Plan prohibits the creation of separate lots for two dwellings as permitted in Section 3.3.1. Both the OPA and ZBA text will need to include the prohibition of any future severances on the subject lands.

Page 19 of 182 Agenda Item #3.2.

Any comments received at the public meeting will be reviewed and taken into account. Following the Public Meeting, a further report and recommendation will be brought forward for Council’s consideration.

Bob Clark, Clark Consulting Services, was in attendance at the Public Meeting, representing the owner of the property. He advised Council that the report prepared by EcoVue Consulting Services Inc. was a concise representation of what is being proposed. He indicated that the applications expressed the intent of the request, which is to recognize the second dwelling on the property. The original older home on the property was to be demolished upon the completion of the new home, as per an agreement with the Township. Upon the completion of the new dwelling, the owner realized that the existing farmhouse could continue to be used by family members. Both Mr. Clark and his client understand there will be no opportunity for future severances as it is clearly stated in the Planning Act.

Mayor Clarke proceeded to take questions from the audience. There was none.

Mayor Clarke turned the question period over to members of Council.

Deputy Mayor O’Donnell asked for clarification on the secondary dwelling, as to whether it will be recognized as a garden suite or a permanent second dwelling on the property. It was confirmed that it will be a permanent secondary dwelling.

Councillor Johnson inquired about the water connection to the property and the easement mentioned in the report prepared by EcoVue Consulting Inc. He directed his question to Kent Randall, asking if the applications can proceed without the easement being granted to the Township as was the intent. It was noted by Mr. Randall that from a planning perspective, the easement has no bearing on the applications before Council.

Mayor Clarke asked if the applicant had paid development charges when the new home was built and if the secondary unit is permitted, will development charges apply. It was noted and confirmed by the Planning Supervisor/Zoning Administrator that no development charges were paid at the time of the building permit and the owner will be responsible to submit the required development charges if the second dwelling is recognized.

The Mayor advised that if any person who has not spoken or who has not received notice of this meeting, or wishes to receive Notice of Passing of the Zoning Bylaw Amendment, please leave your name, address and phone number with Deb McCabe or ensure you have signed in on the sheets provided at the door. If you do not provide your full address, you may not receive notice.

Dear Head of Council:

This week our government was pleased to announce our first step in supporting Ontario’s automotive industry – Driving Prosperity: The Future of Ontario’s Automotive Sector.

As you know, one of the biggest barriers automakers face if they want to build or expand an auto assembly plant is the availability of large-scale sites for manufacturing. The auto sector is generally concentrated in densely populated parts of Ontario where it isn’t easy to find the right site.

Automakers have told us they are looking for sites with access to servicing, skilled labour and transportation — and that aren’t situated on sensitive lands. In response to this, our plan includes a Job Site Challenge which will give municipalities, that wish to participate, the opportunity to propose sites of 500 to 1,500 acres for industrial expansion.

Our goal is to help proponents create competitive shovel-ready sites where an automaker can build a plant and bring thousands of good-paying jobs to the community. Lands that are located in the Green Belt, Oak Ridges Moraine, Ground Water Protection Zones or other sensitive lands are specifically excluded from eligibility.

The Job Site Challenge is modelled on successful U.S. projects that have played a major role in attracting auto assembly plants to several southern states. These new plants, along with their extensive supply chains, have created thousands of new jobs.

We look forward to working with municipalities on this. We will partner with the successful proponents to make sure that development opportunities are competitive. This will of course include streamlining the approvals processes for planning, environmental and servicing.

Dear Mayor Clarke:

Iwould like to thank you and your delegation for meeting with me at the 2019 Rural Ontario Municipalities Association (ROMA)conference inToronto.

Rural communities are vital to the province’s success, and our government is committed to working with our municipal partners to build up rural Ontario and achieve our environmental goals.

It is always valuable to meet with municipal partners to learn about the issues of concern in their communities. I appreciated our discussion about the challenges of developing municipal sewage systems in the Lake Simcoe watershed, and interpreting the Lake Simcoe Plan.

I assure you that I understand the importance of working with you so that we can achieve our common goals.

Thank you, again, for taking the time to meet with me, and please accept my best wishes.

Sincerely, ,,9 Andrea Khanjin Parliamentary Assistant

Government Announces New Health Care Plan

Today, Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, announced the Government of Ontario's plan for developing an integrated patient care system. The plan is to focus on the needs of Ontario's patients and families and is intended to improve access to services and the patient experience by:

 seeing local health care providers organize themselves into coordinated teams (i.e. Ontario health teams) to provide services to patients; anticipates there could be 30 to 40 local health teams across the province at maturity  providing patients, families, and caregivers with a structure that supports them in navigating entering, during and exiting the patient health care system, 24/7  providing a central point of accountability and oversight for the health care system through Ontario Health, a single agency that focuses on achieving the integration and providing very specialized provincial health care where beyond capacity of local care delivery  moving forward on access to secure digital tools, including online health records and virtual care options for patients – a 21st-century approach to health care.

The details received about the plan indicated that is about improving patient-centred care through connected health care services. This plan is not about restructuring public health or making changes to municipal paramedic services management. Clearly, long-term care home capacity is part of the solution to more hospital beds. Today’s announcement also re-emphasized the government’s commitment to invest in building 30,000 long-term care beds over ten years and to

Page 29 of 182 Agenda Item #8.3.

establish a comprehensive and connected system for mental health and addictions treatment.

AMO’s President, Jamie McGarvey, and the Chair of AMO’s Health Task Force, Graydon Smith, had a productive meeting with Minister Elliott prior to the announcement. With a new community lens being brought to patient health care planning and delivery and with residents increasingly looking to their councils to represent their community health interests to the provincial government, more MOHLTC-AMO interaction makes sense. AMO welcomes the Minister’s commitment to us for increased ongoing dialogue about the government’s plan for implementation and transition.

AMO will continue to analyze the municipal impacts. Conversations with the government will be grounded in the recommendations of AMO’s recently released health policy discussion paper.

For more information, see the Ontario news release and more details about the plan on the Ministry website.

February 26, 2019 Taking Action for Universal Broadband Access

Dear Heads of Council:

Today access to broadband internet services is as crucial to our communities as roads and bridges, transit and affordable energy. Together, municipal services offer our residents the foundations of access to a modern, global economy.

That’s why AMO and ROMA representatives recently met with the responsible federal Minister to state the need for better, more accessible and affordable broadband access in Ontario. AMO supports FCM’s campaign for universal broadband support in the next federal budget as a basic service in the 21st Century economy.

What You Can Do:

To push for universal broadband funding, AMO encourages our members join with us in support of FCM’s call for support in Budget 2019. To add your voice on this important issue, councils can:

 Meet with your MP, share the FCM’s issue sheet, and ask for clear commitments to universal broadband in the 2019 federal budget.  Share the campaign on social media. Make sure to tag Bernadette Jordan (@bernjordanmp), the Minister for Rural Economic Development, as well as your own MP and @FCM_online.

Page 31 of 182 Agenda Item #8.3.

 Tell your story. How is the lack of reliable Internet affecting your community? Tell us about it on Twitter and tag #universalbroadband, #cdnmuni, @FCM_online and @AMOPolicy.

Sincerely,

Jamie McGarvey

The Honourable Doug Ford Premier of Ontario Legislative Building Queens’s Park Toronto, ON M7A 1A1

Dear Premier Ford:

Re: Public and Environmental Health Implications of Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act, 2018

On behalf of the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit (SMDHU) Board of Health, I am writing to express concern about the Government of Ontario’s decision to enact Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act, 2018.

We appreciate the intention to enhance employment opportunities throughout Ontario, and recognize good quality employment as a key element which influences health. Individuals who are unemployed, have precarious employment, or experience poor working conditions are at higher risk of stress, injury, high blood pressure and heart disease. However, the proposed bill will amend a number of acts and regulations intended to protect and promote public and environmental health.

In consideration of the proposed amendments, Bill 66 was assessed by SMDHU staff for implications to public and environmental health. We are apprehensive of unintended negative consequences which may arise from the implementation of this bill. The attached appendices outline concerns related to Schedule 3 (Appendix 1) and Schedule 5 (Appendix 2). Schedule 10 (Appendix 3) is also included, though the Board of Health is aware of media reports and social media remarks made by Honourable Minister Clark indicating “when the legislature returns in February, (the Government) will not proceed with Schedule 10 of the Bill.” This is welcomed, however, from our assessment of Bill 66 as it is presently written, its implementation to amend and repeal current legislation will potentially result in:

• Negative impacts to Ontario’s natural and built environment; • Degradation of important water sources; • Decreased preservation of greenspaces including agricultural lands, forests, parks and natural heritage features; • Decreased opportunities for physical activity; • Impacts to child safety; and • Increased risk of the spread of infectious diseases.

Page 38 of 182 Agenda Item #8.4.

We request the government consider the impacts on the public health and safety of residents of Ontario prior to Bill 66 proceeding through the legislative process. We thank you for the opportunity to provide comment and your consideration of our feedback.

Sincerely,

ORIGINAL Signed By:

Anita Dubeau Chair, Board of Health

Appendix 1: Concerns and considerations related to Schedule 3 – Ministry of Education

SMDHU recognizes the efforts to enhance child care availability to families by increasing the total number of children under the age of two that can be cared for by home child care providers. Though evidence on optimal infant to caregiver ratios is inconclusive, the current limits in Child Care and Early Year’s Act, 2014, were chosen to ensure child safety1. We urge the government to evaluate the effects of this legislation on child safety and developmental outcomes if implemented. The proposed changes will not adequately address issues of access, affordability, and quality child care for families. Similar to our high quality education system, a child care strategy that prioritizes accessibility, affordability and quality is best addressed through a government system that ensures universal access to high quality care.

In addition, there may be implications to infection prevention and control due to the proposed amendment to paragraph 4 subsection 6 (4) of the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014, which recommends the reduction of the age restriction from six years of age to four for registration in authorized recreation and skill building programs. Authorized recreational and skill building programs are not proactively inspected for food safety nor infection prevention and control by local public health units. With immunization follow-up doses for several diseases (e.g. measles, pertussis, and chickenpox) not occurring until a child is between 4 – 6 years, coupled with the potential for decreased hygienic practices and larger numbers of children congregating in one location2, there is the potential for the spread of vaccine-preventable diseases. Facilities that are not required to be inspected may not have the administrative (e.g. policies on when to exclude ill children) or physical (e.g. appropriate disinfectants) infrastructure to prevent infections. By lowering the age from six years to four, a potential increased infectious disease risk will occur for children 4-6 years attending these programs.

Appendix 2: Concerns and considerations related to Schedule 5 - Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks

The purpose of the Toxics Reductions Act (TRA) is to prevent pollution and protect human health and the environment, through reducing the use and creation of toxic substances within Ontario. While SMDHU supports efforts to avoid duplication of existing provincial and federal regulations, it is important to recognize the need to reduce the availability of toxic substances within Ontario. Existing federal requirements through the National Pollutant Release Inventory and the Chemical Management Plan have limitations to supporting further reduction of toxic substances that the province of Ontario hoped to address. The TRA can provide important economic benefits which lead to potential cost savings, creating new markets, and supporting employee health and safety. Similar legislation has shown to be effective in other jurisdictions in the United States that have required toxic reduction plans. Thus, SMDHU encourages the province to not eliminate the TRA, but to evaluate more effective opportunities for toxics reduction in Ontario that can support creating healthy environments while reducing barriers for business

Page 41 of 182 Agenda Item #8.4.

Appendix 3: Concerns and considerations related to Schedule 10 - Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing

The Planning Act and associated provincial regulations support effective planning, by ensuring development meets community needs, allows for sustainable economic growth, while protecting green spaces such as agricultural lands, forests, parks and natural heritage features which provide multiple health, economic and environmental benefits. The health benefits of well-designed communities based on provincial policies include better air quality, protected drinking water supplies, availability of locally grown foods, reduced urban heat islands, increased climate resiliency, mitigation of vector-borne diseases, increased opportunities for physical activity, general wellbeing and lower health care costs. Conservation of natural heritage features such as the Greenbelt addresses climate change mitigation (carbon sequestration) and adaptation (mitigating flood risks). For example, the Greenbelt actively stores carbon, with an estimated value of $4.5 billion over 20 years; annual carbon sequestration is valued at 10.7 million per year1. Benefits of greenspaces are communicated within the ‘Preserving and Protecting our Environment for Future Generations: a Made in Ontario Environment Plan’ which identifies the government’s commitment to protect the Greenbelt for future generations2.

SMDHU is concerned that the proposed amendment to the Planning Act will allow the use of Open for Business planning by-laws to permit the use of these important lands for alternative purposes without adhering to existing local planning requirements, such as official plans. Employment land needs are explicitly identified within local planning documents, and thus the use of the by-law will compromise long-term planning decisions. While the by-law may provide short-term economic benefit through the expansion of employment lands, this will be at the expense of long-term, sustainable economic development and protection of green space currently prescribed by the Planning Act.

In addition, Bill 66 allows municipalities to bypass important environmental legislation and discount protections for clean water and environmentally sensitive areas across Ontario. After the events of 2000 in Walkerton, where seven people died and thousands were ill3, Ontario put legislation in place to protect the over 80% of Ontarians who get their drinking water from municipal sources. The Clean Water Act, which directly addresses 22 of the 121 recommendations made following the Walkerton Inquiry, supports the adoption of a watershed based planning process, and serves as the instrument for the creation of source water protection plans.

Current legislation protects drinking water sources and greenspace. The changes proposed in Bill 66 will weaken a number of noteworthy acts including the Clean Water Act, the Great Lakes Protection Act, the Lake Simcoe Protection Act, the Greenbelt Act, the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act, and the Places to Grow Act. Currently these acts prevail in the case of conflict between a municipal plan and the noted act; under the proposed changes this would no longer be the case.

[Vancouver]: David Suzuki Foundation 2 Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks. 2018. Preserving and protecting our environment for future generations: A Made-in-Ontario environment plan. [Toronto]: Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks. 3 Walkerton Inquiry (Ont.) and Dennis R. O’Connor. 2002. Report of the Walkerton Inquiry: A strategy for safe drinking water. [Toronto]: Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General.

Page 42 of 182 Agenda Item #8.4.

Notably, Section 39 of the Clean Water Act currently requires all Planning Act decisions to conform to policies in approved source protection plans that address significant drinking water threats prescribed by the Clean Water Acti. This important provision must remain applicable to all municipal planning and zoning decisions in order to protect public health and safety.

Bill 66 not only impacts drinking water, but also moves back progress made on protecting Lake Simcoe. The Lake Simcoe Protection Act was created to safeguard the watershed and protect our Great Lakes and Lake Simcoe from environmental damage. Lake Simcoe attracts 9 million visitors on an annual basis and accounts for approximately $1 billion dollars in annual spending. Due to the economic, environmental and health impacts that the Open for Business planning bylaw will present, we urge the government to remove the amendment to the Planning Act, from Bill 66. At minimum, public health authorities should be granted the ability under the Planning Act to review and comment on open for business bylaw applications, due to potential risk and hazards to health and for the protection and promotion of public health and safety.

i Threats identified in the act include landfills, sewage systems, and the storage or handling of fuel, fertilizers, manure, pesticides, road salt, organic solvents and other substances on lands near wells or surface water intake pipes used by municipal drinking water systems

As Ramara addresses Short-Term Rentals through the Interim Control Bylaw and subsequent study and final recommendations this coming year, it has come to my attention that Bayshore Village should be part of Bylaw 2018 - 44. This Bylaw “to regulate the emission of sound” is currently for Lagoon City only. As this is a vital component of managing STR's in the future, I would request that Bayshore Village be included in that Noise Bylaw.

Please acknowledge receipt of my request and advise what process is required of Council to include Bayshore Village in the Bylaw.

Thank you.

Rick Matthews President Bayshore Village Association

MEMO TO: Council FROM: Audrey Lee, AMCT, AMTCO Accounts Receivable/Utilities Coordinator DATE: March 11,2019 SUBJECT: 2719 Lone Birch Trail-Account #0062900000

On February 26, 2019, the Township received correspondence from the owners of 2719 Lone Birch Trail regarding their last two quarterly billings (September and December, 2018).

Attached please find the following documents: - correspondence dated September 7, 2018 - correspondence dated December 31, 2018 - work order sheet

In September their bill was estimated at 50 m3 of consumption because we were unable to get a read. The owners did not contact this office to correct this issue. In December an increased flat rate charge of $353.28 was charged on their bill with no consumption usage. The above correspondence was sent out with the utility bills in the mail.

On February 4, 2019, the broken wire on the meter was repaired and a read was received by the Environmental staff. I have corrected the September billing and charged for the consumption used during that period only. As far as the increased flat rate charge, I am unable to change.

Deb McCabe, Planning Supervisor / Zoning Administrator Township of Ramara 2297 Highway 12 Brechin, ON L0K 1B0

Dear Ms. McCabe:

RE: Proposed Fleming quarry extension - Fowler Construction Company Ltd. Part of Lot 40, Concession Broken Front, Geographic Township of Rama, Township of Ramara, County of Simcoe

Thank you for the opportunity to provide Council an update on our Fleming quarry extension application. This letter has been prepared to update Council on Fowler’s initiatives since the February 11, 2019 Council meeting. As outlined in MHBC’s letter of February 11, 2019 (attached), Fowler:

 has no objection to the reduction of speed limits along Rama Road and Switch Road;

 is contacting the County and Township to discuss additional road signage along Rama Road and Switch Road to improve public safety. Fowler is committed to cover the cost to install this signage;

 is installing signage at the entrance / exit of the quarry to advise truck drivers that they must turn right towards Rama Road;

 is installing internal traffic cameras to monitor which direction trucks leave the quarry to ensure the approved haul route is being used; and

 has reviewed the video regarding the two trucks that did not make a complete stop at the intersection of Rama Road and Switch Road. Unfortunately the license plates are not visible in the video and we are not able to contact the drivers directly, however the letter referenced in the next paragraph will be sent to all truck drivers, customers and contractors.

In addition, Fowler has prepared the attached letter that will be provided to all independent truck drivers, customers and contractors to make them aware of the community concerns regarding truck traffic and the role they have in addressing the issue. Our staff at the scale house has also been informed of the issue and will be discussing the letter with the drivers. Fowler will also be speaking with all of our employees, suppliers and subcontractors so they are aware of the community’s concerns.

1206 Rosewarne Drive, P.O. Box 630, Bracebridge, Ontario, P1L 1T9 Phone: (800) 268-7687 www.fowler.ca Fax: (705) 645-5025

Page 62 of 182 Agenda Item #8.13.

Fowler will also be implementing the modifications to our entrance / exit that were recommended by the Township peer reviewer to improve sight lines and the angle to access the site.

With regards to the traffic counts that were provided to Council by the community, the February 11, 2019 letter provided Council clarification regarding trucks counts from our Fleming Quarry during the September and October 2018 time periods and we committed to provide additional information from August 6 – 8, 2017.

The following information has been gathered for the August 6 – 8, 2017 dates:

 The Fleming quarry was closed on Sunday August 6, 2017 and Monday August 7, 2017.  The Fleming quarry reopened on Tuesday August 8, 2017 and a total of 91 loads were shipped out of the quarry on this day. o 35 outbound loads were shipped from 6:30am to 9:59am. o 56 outbound loads were shipped during Ms. Thomas’ monitoring hours of 10:00am to 6:00pm. As a result this makes up 20% of the total vehicle traffic Ms. Thomas counted during this time period.

We have also investigated further into the September and October 2018 time periods and offer the following information:

 Thursday September 13, 2018: o As noted at 6:25am a Blue Tandem Truck was travelling north on Rama Road, turned right on Switch Road and entered the quarry. This was the first truck into the quarry on this date, and originated from Peterborough, so the truck would likely have travelled along Hwy 12 NB to access the quarry and would have come in on Rama Rd from the South. When the truck left, it went Northbound on the designated route (noted as the first truck out at 6:40am on the log). It is important to note that the majority of trucks travelling to and from the quarry use the established haul routes, however some trucks travelling to the quarry come from different locations. These trucks are empty and are required to comply with County and Township road requirements. Once leaving the quarry, Fowler will enforce the use of the approved haul route. In addition, Fowler is taking the steps noted above to further educate the drivers regarding the approved haul route. o As noted at 11:04am regarding a “White ‘Mariposa’ Dump Truck”….“The cover was not over the gravel, gravel was piled visibly higher than the side rails of the Box.” Fowler reviewed its records and this driver purchased granite screenings. The total permitted truck weight for this vehicle was 11,500 kg and the truck weighed out at 11,130 kg. It appears as though this truck did not tarp and was out of compliance with Highway Traffic Act Reg. 557. Fowler will ensure this customer receives a copy of the attached letter. o The traffic count states outbound quarry truck traffic count until noon was 27 loads. Fowler ticketed records show there were 26 outbound loads before noon. o The peak hour was from 9am-10am when 9 haul trucks exited the quarry.  Thursday October 11, 2018: o The traffic count states outbound quarry truck traffic from noon until 6pm was 19 loads. Fowler ticketed records show 20 outbound loads being shipped after noon on this day. o The two trucks identified as leaving at 2:44 pm and heading South on Rama Rd have been identified and we do not believe that these were local deliveries. Fowler will ensure this customer and hauler have been notified of their requirement to use the approved haul route. o The peak hour was from 4pm-5pm when 5 haul trucks exited the quarry.

Also please find attached a detailed response to questions raised by neighbouring residents and Council members, during the May 28, 2018 public meeting.

Page 63 of 182 Agenda Item #8.13.

We remain committed to working with the Township and community to address the concerns raised and at anytime welcome the opportunity to meet with Council to discuss our application and the initiatives to help address concerns from the community.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to call.

Yours truly,

James Gordon Material Manager Fowler Construction Company Ltd.

Mayor Clarke and Council Township of Ramara 2297 Highway 12 Brechin, ON L0K 1B0

Dear Mayor Clarke and Council:

RE: Switch Road Speed Limit Deputation to Council – February 11, 2019 OUR FILE 1515A

The Monday February 11, 2019 Council agenda was made available to the public in the afternoon of Friday February 8, 2019. Upon reviewing the agenda, it was understood a deputation was being made to Council regarding concerns over the speed limit along Switch Road. We have contacted township staff requesting a deputation to address these concerns. However, we were unable to get a deputation due to the short notice. This letter has been prepared to provide Fowler with the opportunity to respond to the traffic related concerns identified in the deputation. Please note that Fowler would like to support resolving the issues and concerns raised by the residents and offers the following comments.

Residents are concerned over the existing speed limits along Switch Road. Fowler has no objection to a reduction in the speed limit along Switch Road.

Fowler supports the installation of additional signage along Rama Road and Switch Road to warn motorists of the Rama Road/Switch Road Intersection and that school buses stop along Rama Road. Fowler also supports additional signage requiring trucks to turn right at the quarry entrance/exit to follow the haul route. In addition, Fowler will pay for the installation of the signage.

Fowler is in the process of installing internal traffic cameras to monitor which direction the quarry truck traffic enters and leaves the site. Fowler will use this monitoring system to ensure the quarry trucks that are not making local deliveries, are using the designated haul route.

In regard to the video showing the two transport trucks not coming to a complete stop at the intersection of Rama Road and Switch Road, Fowler takes this very seriously and will meet with the drivers and/or owners of the trucks and enforce the Fowler trucking policy.

In regard to the traffic counts that were conducted at various points throughout August 6 – 8, 2017, the traffic count the morning of September 13, 2018, and the traffic count on October 11, 2018, Fowler can confirm the following;

113 COLLIER STREET / BARRIE / ONTARIO / L4M 1H2 / T 705 728 0045 / F 705 728 2010 / WWW.MHBCPLAN.COM

Page 65 of 182 Agenda Item #8.13.

 On September 13th, 27 trucks arrived at the quarry, were loaded, and left the quarry between 7 am and 12pm. There was a 28th truck that left at 12:05, which we have not included. This, averaged over 5 hours, equates to slightly over 5 trucks per hour.  On October 11th, 21 trucks arrived at the quarry, were loaded, and left the quarry between 12pm and 6 pm. This, averaged over the six hours, equates to slightly less than 4 trucks per hour.

Fowler is currently researching the number of truck movements during August 2017, and will provide additional information to the Township in the very near future. Fowler looks forward to discussing these issues with Council.

Yours truly, MHBC

Valued Customer:

Fowler Construction Company Limited (“Fowler”) is committed to the safety of our employees and our communities as well as that of our customers and industry partners. Our Fleming Quarry, located at 3230 Switch Road in Washago, is situated in an area that is heavily travelled by local year-round and seasonal residents. It has come to our attention that some haul trucks entering and exiting our quarry have not been abiding by the rules of the road and the existing haul routes identified for the quarry. We view this as both extremely concerning and totally unacceptable behavior.

We would like to clarify three of the most urgent safety concerns that need to be communicated to your truck drivers immediately:

1) The designated haul route for our Fleming Quarry is using Simcoe County Road 169 -> Rama Road -> Switch Road. All haul trucks are required to use this route unless they are making a local delivery. Please see the back of this memo for a map to provide more clarity. 2) All posted speed limits and traffic signs must be adhered to. More specifically, the stop sign at the corner of Switch Road and Rama Road upon exiting our quarry is often ignored and this must no longer continue. 3) Highway Traffic Act - R.R.O. 1990, Regulation 577 (Covering of Loads) must be adhered to for all loads exiting the quarry.

In an effort to help monitor and enforce these concerns, Fowler will be taking the following steps in the near future:

1) We will be installing a security camera in the Fleming quarry that will be monitoring the intersection of Switch Road and Rama Road. Video will be reviewed regularly and any haul route, stop sign or tarping infractions will be reported to you and to your haulers. Repeat offenders will not be tolerated and will not be welcome at our quarry. 2) We will be installing signs along Switch Road and Rama Road to communicate where the entrance to the quarry is in an effort to improve public safety. In addition, we will be installing a sign at the exit from our quarry to direct trucks to the designated haul route. We thank you for your business and continued partnership. Please feel free to contact us directly should you have any questions or concerns as it relates to this.

Regards,

Matt Balfe James Gordon Director of Business Development Material Manager

Page 68 of 182 Fleming Quarry Extension – Fowler’s Response to May 28, 2018 Public Meeting Questions

Council Questions and Comments Response 1. Deputy Mayor O'Donnell inquired if Fowler uses Scatter mats are not used, however all blasts are designed: scatter mats. 1) by an outside consultant; 2) to meet the provincial limits; and, 3) to be safe.

If the blasting consultant recommended the use of blasting mats, Fowler would follow the recommendation, however it is noted that they are not used regularly in quarries for blasting.

2. Deputy Mayor O'Donnell asked for clarification on Three separate approvals are required for the Fleming quarry extension: the Township’s approval authority for the 1) Township Official Plan Amendment (OPA) expansion and the changes to the existing quarry. 2) Township Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) He felt another public meeting or open house 3) MNRF Aggregate Resources Act License would be beneficial. For modifications to the existing Fleming quarry an MNRF Site Plan and License Amendment is required.

The expansion cannot be approved until the land use designation and zoning are in place. Township Council is the approval authority for the ZBA while the County of Simcoe is the approval authority for the OPA.

For the Aggregate Resource Act applications the Township is a commenting agency and the MNRF is the approval authority.

To date, there have been multiple public meetings regarding the proposed applications including:

1) An on-site open house in 2017; 2) An ARA public information session at the Washago Community Centre on April 27th, 2018; and 3) A statutory public meeting under the Planning Act held in the Township of th

Ramara Council Chambers on May 28 , 2018. Agenda Item #8.13.

In addition, four more public meetings will be required as part of the OPA / ZBA Page 69 of 182 application process. These future public meeting include:

Council Questions and Comments Response 1) A staff report for consideration of the OPA and ZBA will be required to go to Committee of the Whole for discussion followed by Council for a decision; both of which provide opportunities for public input; 2) In the event that council adopts the OPA, a staff report will have to go to County Committee for consideration followed by County Council for a decision; both of which are open to the public.

Furthermore, Fowler reached out to the residents that wrote a personalized ARA objection letter and offered to meet with them on an individual basis to discuss the applications. Some of these residents accepted the offer and have met with Fowler.

All ARA objectors will receive a written response to the concerns they raised. Fowler expects this letter to be sent out this spring.

Fowler has also implemented a new trial program at the Fleming quarry to mitigate dust by using a water spraying system on all truck traffic leaving the quarry.

5. Mayor Clarke had questions regarding the slopes The proposed rehabilitation plan for the existing quarry and extension has been and cliff faces following rehabilitation of the site to designed to ensure public safety.

a lake. Agenda Item #8.13. At the time of final rehabilitation, the south and east sides of the quarry will be at grade with the proposed lake and will provide easy access between the land and Page 70 of 182 lake.

Council Questions and Comments Response The western limit of the quarry has been designed with a cliff face that is 30 m from the Rama Road ROW. This cliff face is on average 8 m above the final lake level. Fowler has worked with MNRF to modify the final rehabilitation plan to add additional areas along the western boundary that does not include cliff face and provides easy access between the land and the lake.

The northern limit of the quarry has been designed with a cliff face that is 15 m from the northern property line. This cliff face is on average 7m above the final lake level. Cliffs are a natural feature and provide important habitat for a variety of species. The cliff face is also in close proximity to areas along the eastern and western boundary that provide easy access between the land and lake.

6. Mayor Clarke stated the Township will require an Fowler has had discussions with the Township and is prepared to enter into an agreement outlining the required routes for trucks. agreement that stipulates that haul trucks leaving the quarry must use the existing haul route travelling north on Rama Road to Highway 169, except for local deliveries.

7. Mayor Clarke asked if there was a policy in place Regulation 577 under the Highway Traffic Act pertains to the covering of loads. that requires trucks leaving the quarry to put the Section 2, subsection 1 states commercial vehicles operating on a highway and screens down over the load. carrying a load that is:

a) Sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, salt or any mixture thereof, where such substances are in the form of particles of up to 1½ inches in diameter; b) Waste; or c) Shredded scrap metal

Trucks are required to cover the portion of the load that is not enclosed by the vehicle or load container. The covering material is to be made of tarpaulin, canvas, netting or other material capable of confining the load within the vehicle container or load container.

Section 2, subsection 2 states a number of exceptions for when commercial motor vehicles are not required to cover their loads. The following are the exceptions:

Agenda Item #8.13. (2) Subsection (1) does not apply where the commercial motor vehicle or the combination of a commercial motor vehicle and trailer or trailers is being Page 71 of 182 operated,

Council Questions and Comments Response a) in the course of applying sand, salt, a mixture of sand and salt or any similar substance to the highway for the purpose of winter highway maintenance; b) in the course of collecting waste; c) in the course of carrying waste where the vehicle does not have a gross weight or registered gross weight in excess of 10,000 pounds; d) in the course of carrying a load that is not waste and the vehicle does not have a gross weight or registered gross weight in excess of 18,000 pounds; e) in the course of carrying sand, gravel, crushed stone or slag, of which not less than 90 per cent is clear aggregate, where the highest point of the load does not extend above the top of the vehicle container or load container, and the perimeters of the load are not less than twelve inches beneath the top of the vehicle container or load container; f) in the course of carrying sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, salt or any mixture thereof in December, January, February or March where the highest point of the load does not extend above the top of the vehicle container or load container, and the perimeters of the load are not less than twelve inches beneath the top of the vehicle container or load container; g) in the course of carrying agricultural products, where such vehicle is owned by a farmer; h) on a highway with,(i) an untreated gravel or crushed stone surface, (ii) an earth surface, or (iii) a surface treated solely for dust abatement purposes; i) while proceeding across a highway in order to proceed on a highway as described in clause (h), or in proceeding across a highway in order to enter onto private property abutting the highway; or j) within the limits of a highway construction contract.

It is Fowler’s practice to tarp all of their own loaded vehicles leaving their quarries regardless of the size of the material within the container.

Council Questions and Comments Response the west. Once leaving the quarry, Fowler will enforce the use of the approved haul route through the following means: 1) Direct communication with Fowler Construction truck drivers to ensure they follow the approved haul route; 2) Letter to Fowler’s customers outlining the requirement they follow the approved haul route and to follow the rules of the road. 3) Direct communication with individual brokers as they leave the quarry to ensure they know they must follow the approved haul route; 4) The installation of a security camera at the entrance/exit that will monitor the direction trucks enter and leave the quarry from. Video footage will be reviewed regularly and any haul route, Highway Traffic Act or tarping infractions will be reported to the appropriate individual brokers and Fowler’s customers.

Furthermore, Fowler will be installing signs along Switch Road and Rama Road to communicate where the entrance to the quarry is in an effort to improve public safety and will be installing a sign at the exit of the quarry to direct trucks to the designated haul route.

9. Mayor Clarke asked for clarification regarding the The existing Fleming quarry and proposed extension are located within the Provincial Natural Heritage System mapping and Provincial Natural Heritage System (NHS) but not located within the County of whether the proposed quarry could be permitted Simcoe or Township of Ramara NHS. since other uses are not. The province realized its NHS mapping was flawed; for example within the Township of Ramara, over 96% of the Canadian Shield was mapped as part of the Provincial NHS. This is something the Province is now trying to correct. As such, the Province has proposed an amendment to the Growth Plan which defers the applicable mapping to the existing County and Township NHS mapping until the County implements new mapping in the County Official Plan.

Regardless of whether the site is located within or outside of the NHS, the Growth Plan policies permit new aggregate operations and expansions to existing aggregate operations within the NHS. Since the Fleming quarry application is for an extension to an existing quarry, the Growth Plan requires that the application is required to meet the natural heritage policies within the

Fowler has agreed to do a baseline survey for all wells within one kilometre of the quarry to ensure baseline conditions are established prior to the extension or deepening proceeding.

9. Allen Millard - 7345 Glen Ellen Drive: See response to Council question # 5 above. The future lake proposed in the rehabilitation plan will not be a safe lake as there will be a vertical wall of possibly 12 m and then the berm on top of that wall. The lake will be an approximate 18 m drop which will be hazardous to both humans and animals in the area.

The existing quarry and proposed extension have been planned and designed to not impact the surrounding natural environment during the life of the operation. The proposed rehabilitation plan will allow for an increased natural area for wildlife.

While it is important to take the Township’s Strategic Plan into consideration, the application is required to conform to the governing Official Plans and be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement. Section 4.4 of the County of Simcoe Official Plan states:

“...when considering Section 4.4 Aggregate Developments ... applications for proposed new and/or expansions to existing mineral aggregate operations are to be supported by studies that are based on predictable, measurable, objective effects on people and the environment, and evaluated in accordance with Provincial policy, Provincial standards, regulations and guidelines and if approved under the Aggregate Resources Act, will operate under a site-specific license/permit and according to site plan provisions.”

The supporting technical studies have demonstrated that the proposed quarry extension will meet the tests of Section 4.4 of the County of Simcoe Official Plan. Furthermore, the site plans have incorporated the required recommendations from the technical studies to ensure the site operates in accordance with Provincial policy, Provincial standards, regulations and guidelines.

17. Ron Fry - 7324 Glen Ellen Drive: No wells have been affected by the quarry, and Fowler is not delivering any Agenda Item #8.13. One well has already been affected by quarrying water to any residents. Also see response to Resident comment # 8. operations and Fowler is delivering water to the Page 78 of 182 owners. If there were new owners on the Resident Comments and Concerns Response property, would the requirement to provide water continue?

18. Joan Mizzi-Fry - 7324 Glen Ellen Drive: The existing quarry property located at 3230 Switch Road is classified as This would be a substantial loss to municipalities industrial and is currently taxed at a rate of 2.446356%. Of that the municipal in tax revenue. Quarry operations do not bring share is 0.695109%. significant revenue directly to the Township of Ramara through such things as gas, food, etc. The proposed extension property located at 7723 Rama Road is currently classified as rural and is taxed at a rate of 0.936687%. Of that the municipal share is 0.481668%. The extension property’s taxes would increase to 2.446356% (same as the existing quarry property’s taxes) when in operation.

Furthermore all aggregate operations are required to pay an aggregate levy of 19.8 cents per tonne, of which 12 cents per tonne goes to the municipality.

The proposed extension represents an increase in tax revenue for the Township of Ramara and County of Simcoe.

19. Joan Mizzi-Fry - 7324 Glen Ellen Drive: Property values are affected by a wide range of variable factors (e.g. economic Furthermore, concerns were expressed relating to conditions, investment/ maintenance of property, supply/ demand of property property values and equity in existing homes. etc.). Property value is not a factor used to judge the acceptability or appropriateness of a land use.

To protect surrounding properties from a use that is planned for and anticipated to occur, the operation has been designed with the appropriate mitigation measures and operational controls to protect the surrounding residents from adverse impact.

Fowler is responsible to ensure the proposed quarry operation does not result in adverse impacts on surrounding properties and their use. Accordingly, the design of the quarry operation incorporates measures to mitigate impacts related to noise, air quality, and water quantity/quality in order to achieve Provincial Standards and Guidelines established by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks. These measures include, amongst other techniques, restrictions on extraction equipment, and mandatory dust

control. Agenda Item #8.13.

These measures have been incorporated into the site plan, thereby becoming Page 79 of 182 legally binding on the licensee and ensuring the quarry will be operated and Resident Comments and Concerns Response impacts controlled so that use and enjoyment of properties is not unreasonably affected. The proposed operation is well planned and designed, and will be managed and controlled to mitigate off-site impacts.

Andy Doudoumis - 7390 Glen Ellen Drive The expansion is a continuation of the existing use and will not increase stated that most residents in the area are activities associated with noise, blasting and truck traffic. opposed to the quarry expansion. He asked if there is to be more production due to the The maximum tonnage that is permitted to be shipped from the Fleming quarry request for a reduced setback and because is 300,000 tonnes per year. This will not change as a result of the extension or of the increase in depth, how much more the application to deepen or modify the extraction limits at the existing quarry. years will be added to the quarry. Typically, the quarry does not ship the maximum limit per year and shipping volumes vary year by year based on demand. To provide an estimate on how many years the quarry will be in operation, Fowler has assumed 200,000 tonnes will be shipped annually however this number could vary, which will ultimately affect the total years of operation.

Based on reserve estimates and anticipated production of 200,000 tonnes per year Fowler expects there is approximately 20 years of extraction remaining in the existing quarry based on existing approvals. The proposed site plan amendment to deepen the existing quarry, eliminate the northern setback and change the western extraction limit to 30 m would add 22 years to the existing quarry. The proposed extension would add another 32 years of extraction.

Materials that are transported from the Fleming quarry to the Woods quarry are the fine materials that are removed from the Fleming quarry wash ponds. These materials are transported to the Woods quarry to accelerate

rehabilitation activities at that site. If the Fleming quarry extension is approved, Agenda Item #8.13. all materials removed from the wash ponds will remain on site to complete the proposed rehabilitation plan for the Fleming quarry, and thereby will not Page 80 of 182 contribute to any additional truck traffic. Resident Comments and Concerns Response

The property at 3463 Switch Road is zoned Rural as per the Township of Ramara Zoning By-law 2005.85. The proposed extension to the quarry would not impact any abilities to develop the property for a single family home.

Terry Rockall, resident of 7293 Glen Ellen Drive It is unlikely that the operation of the existing Fleming Quarry is adversely advised that he owns the wetland directly across affecting the water levels in the wetland at 7293 Glen Ellen Drive from a from the pit. He has noticed that the wetlands are hydrogeological (groundwater) and a hydrological (surface water) perspective drying up more frequently and there is a film of for the following reasons: dust on everything. - From a surface water catchment perspective, the wetland at 7293 Glen

Ellen Drive is in a different catchment than the existing Fleming Quarry and therefore, from a surface water balance perspective, the wetland would not be affected by the current operation of the Fleming Quarry. - Similar wetland features perched on the low permeability granitic bedrock to the east and northeast of the existing Fleming Quarry are closer to the Fleming Quarry property than the wetland at 7293 Glen Ellen Drive and ongoing monitoring shows that these closer wetlands have not been affected by ongoing quarry operations; - Based on the calibrated groundwater model for the existing Fleming Quarry under current conditions, the simulated groundwater level drawdown (based on the 1 m contour) does not extend to the west of the Rama Road; and, - There are typically periods of years in which wetlands may be drawn down farther than in other periods, and wetlands are adapted to periodic draw-downs and dry periods. - Based on the drilling program conducted in the vicinity of the Fleming Quarry, it has been demonstrated that surface water features are typically underlain by a layer of lower permeability silty clay which provides a hydraulic barrier between the surface water feature and the underlying bedrock, thus minimizing the potential for leakage of water from the surface water feature/wetland to the bedrock as a result of

groundwater level lowering (if present) due to quarry operations. It is Agenda Item #8.13. interpreted that the water within the surface water features is separated by clay material, and there is minimal connection between the surface Page 81 of 182 water features and the underlying shallow bedrock. Overall, the local Resident Comments and Concerns Response water features are underlain by lower permeability silty clay and bedrock and are primarily surface water fed with limited groundwater input;

Regarding dust, a number of activities common to rural areas, and dry summer weather patterns contribute to the spread of dust across the rural environment. The Fleming quarry is required to mitigate dust on-site and will continue to work hard to monitor and mitigate dust levels from within the quarry.

23. Sheila Fowler, resident of 3170 Switch Road Fowler Construction took possession of the quarry in 2011 and their records stated she had lived on her property for 25 years show Ms. Sheila Fowler has never called Fowler Construction with a and has been putting up with the issues from the complaint. quarry for a long time. She felt that Fowler should take responsibility for the issues the quarry is Ms. Sheila Fowler’s property is located directly adjacent to the existing rail line causing. The blasting has caused deep cracks in and her dwelling is approximately one kilometre away from the closest point of her foundation extraction. Dwellings within the Floral Park Community are considerably closer to the quarry activity. Calculations from the blasting consultant based on a number of previous blasts at the quarry estimate the vibration levels at Ms. Fowler’s house to be lower than 3mm/s which are well below Provincial Standards.

Also see response to Resident comment # 4.

24. Bill Williams, resident of 7158 Beach Drive This is a difficult question for the company to answer. Currently the company is asked where Fowler Construction will relocate to working on the proposed extension to the Fleming quarry which will provide 54 once the quarry has been quarried out. additional years to the operation if the extension and deepening is approved. At this time, the company has no further expansion plans however the company has interests in ensuring a long term supply from this important geological deposit that is strategically located close to market and major transportation routes.

TO: Council

FROM: Kathy Sipos, Manager of Municipal Works

DATE: March 11,2019

SUBJECT: Road Allowance Clearing Request to Access Property Known as Roll# 4348-020-001-27500

Further to the March 4, 2019 Committee of the Whole meeting and Councillor Snutch's insight, I spoke to our Planning and Zoning Administrator, Deb McCabe.

The area in question, including the unopened road allowances, are provincially significant wet lands and within the County's Greenlands Designation as identified in the County's Official Plan. Deb McCabe's recommendation is for the owner to approach the County in order to determine if they will allow any works, including cutting down trees and upgrading the road allowance to accommodate vehicle access, before entering into any agreements with the owner.

MEMO

TO: Council FROM: Cathy Wainman, DeputyClerk

DATE: March 11, 2019 SUBJECT: Canine ControlServices Agreement withChippewas of Rama FirstNation

Further to Report CD-I 2-I 9 presented to Committee of the Whole on March 4, 2019 and the question regarding the indemnity clause in the agreement, our solicitor advises as follows:

The indemnification clause itself deals with that actual operation of the pound. Considered in conjunction with the other provisions and the payment to the Township, the Township is simply saying to the Chippewas of Rama (Rama) that they won’t be responsible for any other costs associated with the operation of the pound. This type of indemnification clause is also found in other poundkeeper agreements such as those entered into by Humane Societies.

The indemnification clause also speaks to the actions of Township employees. It is completely normal business practice for a vendor providing services for a fee to indemnify the client for any potential wrongdoings of the vendor’s employee (in this case in the conduct of the operation of the pound).

I haven’t seen any such agreement where the party seeking out poundkeeper services has indemnified the service provider. The question is for what possible claims/damages/expenses would Rama be indemnifying the Township?

Planning Report

To: Mayor and Council, Township of Ramara

Applications for Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments Applicant: Wynn Louise Harrington Subject: c/o Bob Clark, Clark Consulting Services Geographic Township of Ramara 2428 Concession Road 3, Township of Ramara, Ontario Municipal OPA-1/18 and Z-1/18 File No.:

EcoVue 18-1677-02 File No.:

Date: March 6, 2019

1.0 Recommendation

It is recommended that Council receive the report dated March 6, 2019 from EcoVue Consulting Services regarding applications OPA-1/18 and Z-1/18 (Harrington Secondary Dwelling).

It is recommended that Official Plan Amendment No. 19 be adopted and the associated Zoning By-law Amendment (rezoning the property to the Agriculture Exception Five (AG-5) Zone) be approved.

2.0 Background

The subject property is located at 2428 Concession Road 3 in Part of Lot 12, Concession 3, Part 1 of Plan 51R-38029, former Township of Mara. There are currently two (2) single detached dwellings on the 1.29 hectare subject property. The “original dwelling” was constructed ca. 1929, while the “second dwelling” was constructed in 2013, within the front yard.

In September 2010, the applicants were granted conditional approval of Consent Application B-14/10. The purpose of this application was to consolidate two (2) farm lots and sever a 1.29 hectare portion that included the aforementioned original farm house as a surplus dwelling.

In addition, the severed property was also subject to Minor Variance Application A-16/10, which recognized a maximum lot area of 1.29 hectares.

Page 94 of 182 Agenda Item #8.22.

OPA-1/18 and Z-1/18 Harrington Secondary Dwelling Township of Ramara March 6, 2019

In March of 2012, the owner agreed that the original residential dwelling would be demolished once a new residential building was constructed on the severed lot and an occupancy permit was obtained for the new dwelling. However, the original dwelling was never demolished as the owner wanted to keep both dwellings.

According to the Township of Ramara Official Plan and Zoning By-law, accessory or secondary dwelling units are not permitted within the Agriculture designation and Agriculture (AG) Zone, with the exception of dwelling units that are accessory to an agricultural use, temporary garden suites or temporary units for farm help, subject to adequate servicing. Therefore, a secondary dwelling unit on the subject property is not consistent with the Official Plan and does not conform to the Zoning By-law.

In order to keep both dwellings on the property, the owner initiated amendments to the Township Official Plan and Zoning By-law. On August 28, 2018, applications for Official Plan amendment and Zoning By- law amendment were received by the Township. The applications were deemed complete on August 30, 2018. The applications were supplemented by a Planning Justification Report completed by CCS.

2.1 Purpose of Applications

The Official Plan amendment (OPA) will redesignate the subject property from the Agriculture designation to an Agriculture Special Policy designation while the Zoning By-law amendment (ZBA) will rezone the property from the Agriculture (AG) Zone to the Agriculture Exception Five (AG-5) Zone. Both the special designation and special zone will recognize and permit a secondary dwelling unit on the property. The designation and zone will be shown on the primary schedules to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law and will correspond with site-specific policies and provisions in both documents.

3.0 Planning Review

It is our opinion that proposed OPA and ZBA are both consistent with Provincial and local land use planning documents. Below is a summary of the applications in the context of the applicable planning documents:

3.1 Planning Act

In 2012, the Planning Act was amended to include a requirement that Official Plans and Zoning By-laws permit secondary dwelling units. According to Sections 16(3) and 35.1, these units may be wholly

Page 95 of 182 Agenda Item #8.22.

OPA-1/18 and Z-1/18 Harrington Secondary Dwelling Township of Ramara March 6, 2019

contained within a detached, semi-detached or rowhouse dwelling unit, or within a separate structure that is ancillary to a detached, semi-detached or rowhouse dwelling unit. This amendment to the Planning Act establishes secondary dwelling units “as of right” where residential uses are permitted. However, a municipality may control where and how such units are established through zoning, including regulating the size, scale and location relative to the primary unit.

The Township of Ramara Official Plan and Zoning By-law both pre-date this change to the Planning Act. As such, there are no policies or provisions within these documents that permit and regulate secondary dwelling units. Therefore, the site-specific OPA and ZBA submitted by the applicant will allow for the establishment of the original dwelling as a secondary dwelling unit on the subject property. Since the Official Plan and Zoning By-law are generally silent on this matter, we must rely on the Provincial and upper-tier planning documents.

3.2 Provincial Policy Statement and Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe

Both the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) and Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth Plan) encourage this type of housing. Although these documents generally direct residential growth to settlement areas, both the PPS and GPGGH allow for some growth in rural areas.

Specifically, Section 1.1.5 of the PPS permits limited residential development in Rural Areas, provided that the “development…is compatible with the rural landscape and can be sustained by rural service levels”. It is our opinion that the second dwelling is compatible with the rural landscape. Furthermore, it appears that the two dwellings can be adequately serviced with a private septic system. As noted below, the two dwellings will be serviced with a connection to the Brechin municipal water system.

Both the PPS and Growth Plan encourage a range and mix of housing, including secondary dwelling units. Secondary dwelling units also do not require fragmentation of prime agricultural lands, which is discouraged by the PPS and Growth Plan.

Overall, the proposal is consistent with the PPS and conforms with the Growth Plan.

3.3 County of Simcoe Official Plan

Section 3.3.1 of the County of Simcoe Official Plan permits secondary dwelling units subject to the provision of adequate servicing. As noted herein, the two dwelling units can be adequately serviced with

Page 96 of 182 Agenda Item #8.22.

OPA-1/18 and Z-1/18 Harrington Secondary Dwelling Township of Ramara March 6, 2019

private sewage and municipal water servicing. Furthermore, Section 3.3.3 prohibits the creation of separate lots for two dwellings as permitted in Section 3.3.1. In order to comply with this requirement, the proposed Official Plan Amendment includes text that prohibits any future severances on the subject property (see below).

3.4 Township of Ramara Official Plan and Zoning By-law

As noted above, the Official Plan and Zoning By-law are silent on dwelling units that are accessory or secondary to a principal dwelling in the Agriculture designation and Agriculture (AG) Zone. Therefore, the proposed OPA and ZBA will include text that will identify the subject property and introduce policy and provisions specific to the property.

3.4.1 Description of the Amendments

Both the proposed Official Plan Amendment (No. 19) and Zoning By-law Amendment are attached to this report for Council’s consideration.

The proposed Official Plan Amendment No. 19 will introduce a site-specific “Special Policy” within the Agriculture designation. This Special Policy designation will permit a “secondary dwelling unit” in accordance with the Zoning By-law. The Special Policy also prohibits any further severances on the subject property, in accordance with the County of Simcoe Official Plan.

The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment will implement the Agriculture Special Policy described above. The Amendment will rezone the subject property to an Agriculture Exception Five (AG-5) Zone with site- specific provisions related to the secondary dwelling. Firstly, the AG-5 Zone will permit a “secondary dwelling unit” as an accessory use to the primary dwelling unit, notwithstanding subsection (2) of the Zoning By-law, which permits only one dwelling unit per property.

Secondly, in order to ensure that the secondary dwelling unit is established and maintained within the existing original dwelling, the AG-5 Zone will include lot regulations for the secondary unit that reflect the existing dimensions and setbacks associated with the original dwelling.

Thirdly, the AG-5 Zone will also recognize a maximum lot area of 1.29 hectares, which is larger than permitted in Section 7(3) of the Zoning By-law. As noted above, this was recognized through a minor variance in 2010.

Page 97 of 182 Agenda Item #8.22.

OPA-1/18 and Z-1/18 Harrington Secondary Dwelling Township of Ramara March 6, 2019

3.5 Municipal Water Connection

The original dwelling is serviced with municipal water through a connection to the Brechin municipal water system. This connection is made through a watermain extension that was constructed in 1996. At that time, both the watermain and original dwelling were on the same property. After the surplus severance was granted approval in 2010, the watermain now crosses a separate property (the retained parcel) by way of an easement.

The applicants are proposing that the new dwelling unit (primary dwelling unit) utilize this existing municipal water connection. It is our opinion that this servicing arrangement adequately addresses water servicing requirements.

4.0 Agency Review and Comments

Municipal Works:

No objections or concerns.

Fire Department:

Fire has no concerns with this application – note the original house distance from road will always serve as a challenge for fire suppression purposes – given driveway construction, width, time of year and weather conditions.

County of Simcoe:

County Planner Anna Dankewich noted in a telephone conversation with the undersigned that the County did not foresee any issues with the applications. That said, the County will not support any further severances of the subject property, in accordance with Section 3.3.3. As noted above, a provision in the Agriculture Special Policy ensures that the property cannot be severed in the future.

Building Department:

Cannot support – permit for new home issued in March 2012 – owner signed acknowledgement dated March 6, 2012 indicating that within 14 days of receiving occupancy on the new dwelling, demolition of the existing dwelling would be commenced.

OPA-1/18 and Z-1/18 Harrington Secondary Dwelling Township of Ramara March 6, 2019

Public Comments:

There have been no public comments received to date. A Statutory Public Meeting, in accordance with Sections 22 and 34 for the Planning Act, was held on February 11, 2019. No comments or issues related to the applications were raised at this meeting.

5.0 Recommendation

Given the foregoing, we respectfully recommend that Council adopt Official Plan Amendment No. 19 and approve the associated Zoning By-law Amendment as both amendments are consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conform with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, the County of Simcoe Official Plan and the Township of Ramara Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

RAMARA TRAILS COMMITTEE MINUTES – JANUARY 21,2019 VH ROOM – RAMARA CENTRE – 2:00 PM

“DRAFT”

ATTENDANCE

Larry Barton Paul Grunsten Janet Masching Bob Masching Jack Green Stefanie Moy-Shuster David Snutch Josh Kavanagh Todd Billinger

REGRETS Kathy Alden Annalynn Faulkner Artena Hutchison Ted Lamb

1. Welcome to all of the new members present: David Snutch, Councillor for Ward 1; Josh Kavanagh, Contract Administrator for the Township of Ramara; Stefanie Moy-Shuster; Jack Green and Todd Billinger.

2. We agreed to waive the Election of Officers until our April meeting awaiting the return of the snowbirds.

3. Review of Trail Building in Ramara

Atherley trail

Paul Grunsten: The first phase of the trail was completed in 2005. The second part in 2006 from Monck Road to the Rama Mara boundary. The organizers got funds from Trillium Foundation, the Casino and community fund raising. The township purchased the rail line (from Atherley to the Casino boundary) before 2005 for about $40,000.

Lagoon City to Concession 7

The Committee since its current formation in 2016 has mainly focussed on this trail.

Page 123 of 182 Agenda Item #9.7.

Larry Barton: Larry reviewed the history of the trail. [ See The Trail Committee’s Budget Deputation of today’s date with a summary of work done from 2016 to the present, which is being mailed to all the members] The trail has been used by snowmobiles for about 25 years. Its use by ATV’s is under discussion. The rail bed was sold off to the landowners in the 1960’s.

The Skelton Brumwell feasibility study of October 2018 raised several issues, the two most significant being the heron rookery which would limit use of the trail to 8 months of the year and the Provincially Significant Wetlands.

Larry presented a deputation to Council today requesting: $10,000 from the Township(with the expectation of a matching Simcoe County grant) for the work to be done this year and that the Township start negotiating with the owner of the northern portion of the rail bed to lease or purchase the rail bed.

At the north end of the trail, culverts are to be installed for 2 water crossings on the sideroad 15 road allowance, see item 5 below.

At the south end, Larry has obtained agreement from the developer for the trail to connect to the railbed via the east side of the sewage plant from the snowmobile trail, starting at the entrance north of the bridge at the Muse

Josh advised that higher fences, likely chain link, will be required along the east side of the sewage plant, between the plant and the new proposed southern access to the trail. This will be done by the Township.

Josh also advised that the permit for the trail requires that silt fencing be installed along the rail bed portion of the trail, to prevent the limestone screenings leaching into the wetlands. It was agreed that we will obtain pricing for the silt fencing.[Larry has since received an estimate of $10,000 for 2 km.]

For the southern access portion of the trail we plan to:

--get a plan or map of this part of the trail(from snowmobile club or developer)

--get estimates from contractors in April;

--write to council for approval to go ahead with this work

--apply for and obtain an LSRCA permit, required as all of the trail lands are in the “catchment area.”

Lagoon City to Brechin

Larry Barton: This trail along Road 47 has been in existence for 6-7 years. It is now paved with asphalt grindings, which are not the ideal surface for cycling or for running.

Casino to Washago

Page 124 of 182 Agenda Item #9.7.

David Snutch: As of September 19, 2018 CN gave notice that it is discontinuing the rail line from Washago to the closed Stepan plant, which connects to the abandoned rail line running south to the casino. There may be an opportunity for the township to purchase this land. This line would make an ideal trail, connecting the Atherley trail to Washago and getting the Trans Canada Trail off Lake Couchiching. Part of the rail bed/trail is close to Lake Couchiching; the old railway bridge across the Green River is a beautiful feature of this route. Some of the challenges are: the rail line crosses Rama Road; a low railway bridge which will have to be removed; and finding a route through or around the Rama First Nation lands to link up with the Atherley trail.

The Committee today asked the Township for $5,000 to help us study and monitor the situation.

4. Budget Requests from Municipality for 2019.

We have $25,000 available from the Ontario Commuter Cycling programme. (We will not be getting the other $75,000 anticipated, as the programme has been cancelled.)

We requested today from Council:

$10,000 for the Lagoon City to Concession 7 trail (to be matched by Simcoe County)

$5,000 for the Casino to Washago railbed and potential trail.

5. Update on LSRCA permit on side road 15 for culvert installation

There have been delays in the issuing of the permit by LSRCA, which Skelton Brumwell is applying for, for installation of the culverts at the northern end of the trail at the sideroad 15 road allowance. The hydrological study was completed in November. The culverts are purchased from 2018 funds. Josh Kavanagh advises that Township staff has requested that Skelton Brumwell provide the township with a full copy of the application for the permit, which the Township will review before signing the application. Josh is monitoring this situation.

6. Opportunities for Committee Work in 2019

These are suggestions for which Larry is looking for committee input.

-Monitor grant opportunities(local, Simcoe County, Provincial & Federal)

-Monitor progress on the Casino to Washago Trail David Snutch

- Monitor the Atherley trail- Paul Grunsten & Annalynn Faulkner

-Heron Rookery Janet & Bob Masching

-Construction Issues(get quotes, monitor contractors)

-Educational signage for Heron Rookery

Page 125 of 182 Agenda Item #9.7.

Committee Officers(chair, vice chair, secretary, treasurer)

-Ramara Hiking Club--initiate

-Ramara Cycling Club (possibly build on Bayshore Village Club)

7. Objectives for 2019

--To obtain $15,000 requested from the Township

--re the Lagoon City- Concession 7 trail:

--to obtain information, quotes and permits to build southern access to the trail

--for Council to negotiate an agreement with the landowner for use of the northern part of the railbed on the trail.

--to install silt fencing where required along the rail bed.

The meeting was adjourned at 3:30.

We agreed to meet next on Thursday April 25 at 2:00 p.m. at the Ramara Centre.

Page 172 of 182 Agenda Item #2019.19

AMENDMENT NO. 19 TO THE OFFICIAL PLAN OF THE TOWNSHIP OF RAMARA

PART A – THE PREAMBLE

1. Purpose of the Amendment

The purpose of this Amendment is the change the land use designation shown on Schedule “A” attached from “Agricultural” to “Agricultural Special Policy”.

2. Location

This Amendment is specific to the lands located in Part of Lot 12, Concession 3, further described as Part 1 on Plan 51R-38029 in the former Township of Mara, known as 2428 Concession Road 3.

3. Basis of Amendment

The Official Plan of the Township of Ramara currently designates the subject land “Agricultural”. The landowner is proposing to establish two (2) permanent single detached dwelling units on the subject property. Secondary or accessory dwelling units are not permitted in the “Agricultural” designation. Therefore, an amendment to the Official Plan is required to recognize two (2) dwellings on the property.

In 2012, the Planning Act was amended to include a requirement that Official Plans and Zoning By-laws permit, as of right, second dwelling units on properties where single-detached, semi-detached and row house dwellings are permitted. The Township of Ramara Official Plan and Zoning By-law both pre-date this change to the Planning Act. As such, there are no policies or provisions for the Township to permit and regulate second dwellings. This Official Plan Amendment will implement Sections 16(3) and 35.1 (Secondary dwelling units) of the Planning Act on the subject property.
