TOWN OF GREATER NAPANEE
OFFICIAL PLAN AND ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENTS
NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING
The Council of the Corporation of the Town of Greater Napanee intends to consider an Official Plan Amendment to the Official Plan of the Town of Greater Napanee and a Zoning By-law Amendment to Zoning By-law 02-22. Pursuant to Section 17(5) and Section 34(12) of the Planning Act (R.S.O. 1990), Council will hold a public meeting on Tuesday, November 14th, 2017, to outline the content and effect of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments, as well as showing the lands affected. All those interested are hereby invited to attend the public meeting and express their view on the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments.
PURPOSE
Applications were received from Red Tree Development to redesignate and rezone a parcel of land located at Reid Street and Dundas Street West (Lot 17, Concession 1). The subject lands are currently undeveloped, relatively flat and well treed. The applicant is proposing construction of a number of residential dwelling units, consisting of a mix of housing types, including approximately 48 townhouse units and 5 single-detached units. A community centre and pool are also proposed as part of the development. The lands are not proposed to be subdivided, but will instead be serviced by a private road and the housing units will be operated as rental units.
The site is primarily designated Low Density Residential in the Town of Greater Napanee Official Plan, and includes areas that are designated Environmentally Sensitive and Environmental Protection (associated with watercourse on property). The property is zoned Future Development (D) in Zoning By-law 02-22. The low density designation permits low density residential uses and building types including, single detached dwellings, semi-detached dwellings, duplexes and accessory uses but does not permit row dwellings. The D Zone permits a limited range of uses, which does not include any type of residential use. The Official Plan Amendment will redesignate the lands from ‘Low Density Residential’ to ‘Medium Density Residential’ to permit the proposed development. The extent of the Environmental Protection and Environmentally Sensitive designations may also be adjusted as part of the amendment, based on site-specific studies. The subject property would be rezoned to a site-specific Residential Type 5 (R5-X) Zone to permit the single-detached and semi-detached dwelling houses. The proposed row houses are permitted within the R5 zone. The site-specific zoning will apply to those lands outside of the watercourse and associated flood-prone lands as opposed to individual residential lots. The proposed zoning will also establish site-specific setbacks for such things as minimum yards, building heights and lot coverage. The extent of the Environmental Protection (EP) zone may also be adjusted as part of the amendment, based on site-specific studies.

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submission to the Town of Greater Napanee before the Official Plan Amendment is passed or the Zoning By-law Amendment is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

Againthe original petitioners are presenting information to modify the access to the propose Red Tree Development — Dundas Street from Reid Street to the Dewey Hunt Drive.
We received 4 reports from Ainley Consulting Engineers and one from Maat Environmental Engineering Corporation. As with all reports there is an abundance of information to
digest. Itrust council has reviewed these reports.
The first is the Environmental Impact Study. Section 6.1 Paragraph 3 Page 5 identifies 4 Butternut trees as SAR— species at risk. Section 6.4.1 Paragraphs 2 and 3 identifies the action to be taken regarding the trees. As well figure 4 shows the development superimposed over the location of the Butternut trees. Three of the four trees are inside the outline of the housing units.
The second is the transportation brief. Slash Road and Reid Street are both identified as having gravel shoulders. This is totally incorrect. There are no shoulders on either roadway.
The section “other specific development” on page 4 refers to the Cherrywood Parkway Development as having 329 residential units when completed. Many of those units will have two vehicles. This development will have two points of exit/entry, one of which will be Dundas Street, with up to half of these vehicles coming out on Dundas Street.

Dewey Hunt Drive is a private road providing access to the current Red Tree Development. Sufficient property is available from this site for a road into the new development.
Aswell property for the new Red Tree Development does have access to Dundas Street already which may provide an entry/exit to the site.
We ask that if you have not done a site check for yourself, that you do so to see the problem that will exist if the roadway is not repositioned.
Again we are not opposed to the development only the location of access road.

TOWN OF GREATER NAPANEE
ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT
NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING
The Council of the Corporation of the Town of Greater Napanee intends to consider a Zoning By-law Amendment to Zoning By-law 02-22 of the Town of Greater Napanee. Pursuant to Section 34(12) of the Planning Act (R.S.O. 1990), Council will hold a public meeting on November 14, 2017, to outline the content and effect of the Zoning By-law amendment, as well as showing the lands affected. All those interested are hereby invited to attend the public meeting and express their view on the Zoning By-law amendment.
PURPOSE
A rezoning application (PLZACO 2017 041) was received from 1018105 Ontario Inc. to amend Zoning By-law 02-22 for a 1.29 ha parcel of land to be severed from the subject property located at 6262 County Road 9. The subject 2.09 ha lot is vacant and will be reduced to 0.8 ha in area through the application. The applicant is proposing to add the severed 1.29 ha parcel to an abutting 43.6 ha lot, which contains a dwelling and is used for agricultural purposes. The resulting 44.8 metre lot will have 143.4 metres of frontage on County Road 9, whereas the Zoning By-law requires a minimum of 150 metres of road frontage for agricultural use. Therefore rezoning of the resulting/benefitting lot is required in order to permit less than the required length of road frontage. The lot addition would improve the situation of the resulting lands, given that it will increase the lot’s road frontage, bringing it closer to the required minimum under the Zoning By-law.
The subject lands are primarily in the Rural (RU) Zone, with the northerly edge of the retained lands being found in a Prime Agriculture (PA) Zone in the Town’s Zoning By-law. The Town’s Official Plan also reflects these boundaries.
EFFECT OF THE ZONING BY-LAW REQEUST
The Zoning By-law Amendment will permit the severance of 1.29 hectares of land from a vacant 2.09 hectare property. The severed parcel will be added to an abutting 43.6 hectare agricultural property.
LOCATION OF PROPERTY
The property is located at 6262 County Road 9. The lands are legally described as Part of Lot 5, Concession 3, Geographic Township of Fredericksburgh, in the County of Lennox and Addington (see key map).

The lands are subject to consent application PLCON 2017 042.
NOTICE OF APPEAL
If a person or public body does not make oral submission at a public meeting or make written submission to the Town of Greater Napanee before the Zoning By-law Amendment is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council for the Town of Greater Napanee to the Ontario Municipal Board.
If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submission to the Town of Greater Napanee before the Zoning By-law Amendment is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so.
PUBLIC MEETING PLACE
The public meeting will be held at the Council Chamber of the Town Hall, Greater Napanee, November 14, 2017 at 7:00 p.m.

TOWN OF GREATER NAPANEE ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING
The Council of the Corporation of the Town of Greater Napanee intends to consider a Zoning By-law Amendment to Zoning By-law 02-22 of the Town of Greater Napanee. Pursuant to Section 34(12) of the Planning Act (R.S.O. 1990), Council will hold a public meeting on November 14, 2017, to outline the content and effect of the Zoning By-law amendment, as well as showing the lands affected. All those interested are hereby invited to attend the public meeting and express their view on the Zoning By-law amendment. PURPOSE The Town wishes to consider a limited number of changes considered administrative in nature, primarily clarifying the language and purpose, amending certain zoning provisions to clear-up inconsistencies, and to address errors in the zoning maps. Such proposed changes include, but are not limited to: Modifications to the General Provisions respecting environmental features, including floodplains, waterbodies and EP Zones and setbacks thereto; accessory buildings and structures yard setbacks; rebuilding or repair of non-conforming uses; required parking ratios for self-storage facilities and manufacturing facilities; and required accessible parking and parking space sizes and ratios; New minimum lot size requirements for residential uses in the open space zone; New minimum lot size requirements for non-residential uses in the rural zone and prime agricultural zone; Permitting of Stacked Townhouse residential building forms in certain zones; New administrative provisions to permit immaterial changes to the by-law; and Updated zoning maps to reflect site-specific changes.
EFFECT OF THE ZONING BY-LAW REQUEST The rezoning will result in a number of updates to the Zoning By-law considered administrative in nature, primarily clarifying the language and purpose, amending certain zoning provisions to clear-up inconsistencies, and to address errors in the zoning maps. LOCATION OF PROPERTY This update to the Zoning By-law will affect lands throughout the Town of Greater Napanee. No key map is provided because the amendment affects lands throughout the municipality.

Randy Vollick raised the following issues: ▪ lack of advanced green lights at the Bridge and Centre Streets and Dundas and Centre Streets intersections; ▪ pedestrians don’t appear to know that they must push a button for the walk signal at the intersections of Dundas and Centre Streets and Bridge and Centre Streets; intersections seem to be a step backwards in technology ▪ doesn’t understand how the recent dog attack reported on the news could happen ▪ questioned if there could be improved enforcement of the yard by-law.
Scott Drader raised the concern that he is unable to put an addition on his current residence for an accessible bathroom or to have a pre-engineered steel building to open a small business, due to his property on Dairy Avenue being zoned industrial. Gib Garrett, Planning Clerk advised that the current dwelling is grandfathered as a non- conforming use on the property; however, any extensions to the dwelling or new accessory structures would require a zoning by-law amendment. Raymond Callery, CAO advised that the Senior Management Team will review the zoning options for the property and report back to Council.

Re: Draft Plan of Subdivision Approval 99-007 CCS Project No. 957
Dear Mr. Garrett:
CCS has reviewed the request of Adam Wilson of the Ainley Group on behalf of 1518173 Ontario Limited to extend the draft approval of the plan of subdivision originally approved in 1999.
In view of the extensive review which was conducted in 2014 and based upon our review of the conditions and the engineering documents which have recently been submitted for the next phase, it is our recommendation that the extension of draft plan approval be granted for a further 3 years. As Council is aware, in the event that changes to the Draft Plan or the conditions of Draft Plan Approval, changes can be made at any time prior to Final Approval.
Therefore, in accordance with Section 51(33) of the Planning Act, the attached resolution has been prepared for Council’s consideration to grant the request and extend the Draft Plan Approval for 3 years to November, 2020.
Sincerely,
Bob Clark, P.Eng., P.Ag., MCIP, RPP, OLE Principal Planner

Staff Report to Council
To: Mayor Schermerhorn and Members of Council
Date: November 14, 2017
Prepared By: Raymond Callery, CAO
Presented By: General Managers
Re: CAO - Service Area Updates
Staff Recommendation:
That Council receive for information the CAO - Service Area Updates report.
Financial Implications: 2017 Budget should accommodate these initiatives unless otherwise identified.
Accessibility Implications: Continue to update many operational policies
Information Technology Implications: Initiatives identify implications as appropriate.
Background Information This monthly report format has been designed to give a high level overview to Council on significant projects taking place under each of the three main portfolios of Infrastructure Services, Emergency Services and Community and Corporate Services. The report also summarizes Human Resource, Energy Management and other initiatives being spearheaded by the office of the CAO.
I trust you will find this information useful, when combined with the other reporting that is being produced for each service area.
