5. Information Circulated

5.1 Notice of Application and Public Meeting - OPA 9 (Robertson Line) Working Copy - County of Renfrew Planning Report - Documents Previously Circulated to Council

6. Clerks Notice of Circulation in accordance with the Requirements of the Planning Act

The Public Meeting is a requirement of the Planning Act. In accordance with the Planning Act, notice must be given at least 20 days before the Public Meeting is held. Deputy Mayor Armsden requested that the Clerk confirm the date the Notice was circulated and calculate that we had the required 20 days’ notice.

The CAO/Clerk advised the Notice was published in the Arnprior and Renfrew Local Newspapers on December 8, 2016. The Notice was mailed to all property owners within 120m of the subject lands and the agencies as required under the Planning Act. The Notice was also published on the Township website on November 30, 2016 and on the website calendar.

Deputy Mayor Armsden stated that the 20 day notice having been given, declared the meeting properly constituted to transact its business.

Any person wishing to receive written notice of the Adoption of the Amendment being considered at this meeting must leave their name and mailing address with the Township Clerk by writing their name and address on the list posted at the back of the Council Chambers.

The Official Plan Amendment is being considered under Section 17 and 22 of the Planning Act. Council is required to inform the public who is entitled to appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board:

Deputy Mayor Armsden stated as follows:

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a Public Meeting or make written submissions to the Township of McNab/Braeside before the proposed Official Plan Amendment is adopted by the Township, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the County of Renfrew (approval authority), to the Ontario Municipal Board. Page 11 of 142

Public Meeting Under the Planning Act January 10, 2017 Page 3 of 6

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a Public Meeting, or make written submissions to the Township of McNab/Braeside before the proposed Official Plan Amendment is adopted by the Township, 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 add the person or the public body as a party.

7. Clerks Reading of the Notice

Deputy Mayor Armsden requested the Clerk give a description and location of the Proposed Amendment.

The Deputy Clerk advised that the amendment is located on Part of Lots 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, Concessions 6 and 7, in the geographic Township of McNab, in the Township of McNab/Braeside, fronting on Hidden River Road, Gunsmith Road and a portion of Robertson Line between Hansons Creek and the Madawaska River.

The Deputy Clerk stated this is a notice of application to amend the Official Plan of the Township of McNab/Braeside and a Notice of a Public Meeting to be held on January 10, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. at the Municipal Office regarding an amendment to the Official Plan of the Township of McNab/Braeside.

The purpose and effect of the proposed Official Plan Amendment is to re-designate approximately 82 hectares of land that gains access over Robertson Line. Robertson Line, at this location, has a significant design deficiency that creates potential constraints and hazards for vehicle operation particularly when the road is snow-covered or icy. The proposed amendment will re-designate the affected lands to Rural Exception-Five that will allow vacant lots to be developed but will prohibit new lot creation. The effect of the amendment is to prohibit additional new lots until the road deficiency is corrected in order to prevent an increase in potential incidents.

Additional information regarding the Zoning By-Law amendment was available for inspection at the Township of McNab/Braeside Municipal Office during regular office hours.

The notice was dated on the 30th day of November 2016 and signed by CAO/Clerk, Lindsey A. Parkes.

8. Comments

- Planning Department - Council

Deputy Mayor Armsden inquired if Mr. Howarth had any comments or wished to speak to the Amendment? Page 12 of 142

Public Meeting Under the Planning Act January 10, 2017 Page 4 of 6

Mr. Howarth provided an overview of the Official Plan Amendment and advised that this was a new policy being added to the Official Plan that will prohibit additional new lots being created in the Robertson Line area until the road has been improved where it crosses Hansons Creek but will not affect the building rights for existing lots where a dwelling is currently permitted.

Deputy Mayor Armsden inquired if Council members had any questions at this time, which there were none.

9. Correspondence/Comments Received

- Agencies - Members of the Public

Deputy Mayor Armsden inquired if there were any written comments received.

The CAO/Clerk advised that comments were received from the Township Planner in the form of a staff report and have been circulated and included in the package.

The CAO/Clerk read comments received from the Manager of Infrastructure for the County of Renfrew, Mr. Michael Pinet, advising that currently, the County of Renfrew is responsible for the ongoing maintenance of the structure C137, Hansons Creek culvert, and for the roadway within 30 meters of the culvert. The County does not intend to undertake any significant changes to the current configuration of the culvert and the section of the roadway under their jurisdiction in the near future. His letter confirms that the County does not have any objection to the proposed Official Plan Amendment at present. Mr. Pinet also advised he would appreciate receiving a final copy of the Official Plan Amendment once it has been approved.

The CAO/Clerk read comments received from Mr. Ryan Frew, Director of Public Works for the Township of McNab/Braeside. Mr. Frew advised that the culvert which conveys Hansons Creek under Robertson Line (located at the deficient curve in the road) is under the jurisdiction of the County of Renfrew. Any property improvements for this area would require involvement and approval from the County of Renfrew. He further advised that the Township’s 10 year capital roads plan does not include any improvements to the vertical curves within this section of Robertson Line.

The CAO/Clerk read comments received from Ontario Power Generation advising they had no comments or concerns.

The CAO/Clerk read comments received from Mr. Alan Cohen on behalf of Walter and Jamie Boyce and requested that he receive further notices of Council’s decision regarding adoption of the proposed Official Plan Amendment.

10. Questions/Comments

- Members of the Public - Members of Council

Deputy Mayor Armsden inquired if members of the Public wished to speak in favour of the Amendment, which there were none.

Deputy Mayor Armsden inquired if members of the Public wished to speak in opposition of the Amendment.

Mr. Bruce Fraser inquired if the Township was planning to upgrade the road and if so when? Deputy Mayor Armsden responded that the Township is not planning an upgrade in the near future.

Mr. Fraser stated that the road is not maintained now, and is not plowed regularly. Deputy Mayor Armsden advised that he will have staff look into this.

Mr. Roger Robertson inquired if only one house can be built per lot, to which the response was yes and further that anyone who owns a building lot now can still build on it.

Councillor MacKenzie joined the meeting in progress at this time (6:45 p.m.).

Ms. Barbara Hiltz stated that her driveway is at the dip and she has to be very careful pulling out of her driveway as the sight lines are very bad, however, she knew that when she purchased at this location. Ms. Hiltz inquired if this amendment would have any impact on her taxes or services, to which the response was no.

Mr. Scott Matthews stated that he recently bought 25 acres and now he does not have the ability to sever a lot for his son, and stated that he will be asking for a Request for Re- Page 14 of 142

Public Meeting Under the Planning Act January 10, 2017 Page 6 of 6

consideration on his taxes.

Mr. Matthews inquired if the Township is bringing this policy to other areas in the Township where there are deficient roads. Deputy Mayor Armsden stated that this policy is only for this area on Robertson Line and if someone proposed a development that requires access from a Township road it is always looked at the development proposal stage to determine what conditions may be required.

Mr. Scott Matthews stated that he strongly recommended that Council reconsider passing this amendment due to liability issues that could arise from this type of policy.

Mr. Jamie Boyce e-mailed the CAO/Clerk to provide notice that he was on route to the Township to attend the Public Meeting, however, due to the weather he was delayed. Mr. Boyce indicted that he had an oral submission which he would like to present upon his arrival.

Deputy Mayor Armsden inquired if Council Members had any questions or concerns at this point, which there were none.

Members of the Public were requested to leave their name and mailing address on the list at the back of the Council Chambers should they wish to be notified with regard to the application.

The Chair invited members to declare items of pecuniary interest and no declarations of JM closed 17/1/11 3 pecuniary interest were made by the group. 4. Committee heard from no delegations this evening. 5 A memo was circulated regarding content from the December meeting, then, Recreation JM closed 17/1/11 Director Patterson circulated recreation Committee meeting minutes from November which were also approved, moved by Committee member Teresa Bahm, seconded by committee member John Robertson. Carried. 6 Business arising from past minutes included a question regarding clarification on current use closed 17/1/11 of the CP Trail recently purchased by the County. John Robertson wondered if each GP municipality would be maintaining and governing their own particular section of Trail, to JM which both the Director and Chair replied that decisions were not made with respect to that question as of yet and that the current policy to be reiterated is that the CP Trail is not to be used by residents as of this time. 7 Correspondence circulated amongst the members prior to the meeting included the Director’s open 17/1/11 report on programs/facilities and special events. Dates were highlighted including Braeside GP Carnival on February 4th, the Festival of Outdoor rinks Feb. 10-12, the proposed Braeside Cup on February 18th, the White Lake carnival February 25th and the Earth Day clean up April 22nd. A brief discussion was to follow on the sold out archery program and snowshoeing programs which is to be held January 21st at the Alexander Stewart Provincial Park at 9am and will be led by Volunteer Andy Kalnins and Councillor Heather Lang. The group then reviewed a letter forwarded to Committee by Dan LeBlanc regarding his request to execute the annual Braeside Cup at the RA Centre. Based on the past several years, Committee was satisfied that Mr. Leblanc has been successful in holding the event despite challenging conditions, and Committee felt they’d be in favor of allowing him to do the same in 2017. In his request, Leblanc stated that partial proceeds will be forwarded to Darryl Meek, a local Braesider who has fallen ill with health challenges. Moved by Jason Marshall, seconded by John Robertson that Council approve use of the Braeside RA Centre by Dan LeBlanc on February 18 to hold the annual Braeside Cup. Further, that Council allow the sale of alcohol at that facility for the event, providing Mr. Leblanc shows all proper documentation to the Recreation Director, which satisfies the Township’s current alcohol service policy. Carried. Page 18 of 142

4. Action Items: Re sp No Closure Actions, Decisions and Important Issues on Status . Date sibl e 8 Committee discussed future special events at this month’s visioning exercise as Chair Marshall JM open elaborated on Councillor Lang’s Township Relay concept that she has been developing during Canada’s 150th anniversary celebrations. The Chair reported on a meeting that he attended earlier in the week dealing with this concept and he explained the various components of this unique event to the members in attendance. The concept was enthusiastically welcomed by the group and Chair Marshall led the discussion about some of the logistics involved with pulling off a major undertaking like what is proposed. First, the Chair noted that there are several geographic links and targets of the areas which will be pulled together on event day through passing of a torch or a related item, symbolic of the “relay” concept. The ad hoc Committee identified a starting point of Sand Point, moving through Red Pine Bay and Braeside, to Dochart Park, then towards Pine Grove, along the water toward Stewartville and School and MCP through Burnstown and finally ending in White Lake. Jason explained that this ambitious project will be spearheaded by an ad hoc Committee already in place and the event will be executed on June 24 just prior to Canada Day. Another significant part of the attraction of the relay includes the concept of it being considered for a world record as a relay featuring the most different modes of transportation, both active and passive. Not only will it celebrate local and Valley heritage, it will celebrate what it means to be Canadian and part of the exercise could be that participants can add items to be placed in a time capsule, which would be opened during a Canada Day celebration much further down the road. There was unanimous positive reaction to Mr. Marshall’s presentation and Committee was in full support of offering Recreation Department resources to assist with this task and wondered if Riverfest and Scottish festival should be postponed for a year to accommodate this special celebration of Canada’s birthday. It was felt the Scottish and Riverfest elements could be easily incorporated into the Relay event, which will be a one off type of activity anyway. Mr Marshall and Mr. Patterson will speak to the MacLarens on their tentative plans for the upcoming summer regarding special events. 9 Other business brought up included event background planning on the upcoming White Lake Open winter carnival by Teresa Bahm. She updated the group on ongoing planning and the GP involvement of the McNab/Braeside Firefighters with their Pancake Breakfast element of the JM Carnival. A bit of discussion took place as to how to spend donation money should it come in TB as a result of the White Lake event and the group felt it could go to help offset costs of kids recreational equipment associated with the rink. Teresa also brought up the need to strike a Committee to help organize the 2017 edition of Herbfest. The group agreed that in order to grow the event, it must be a collaborative effort with the composition of the Committee to be made of Rec Committee members, staff and Herbfest-associated members of the public. Committee members will attempt to recruit individuals to be part of this steering group by the next Rec Committee meeting in February. Moved by Teresa Bahm seconded by John Robertson, that Council approve the formation of a sub-committee to assist with governing of Herbfest to report to the Rec Committee and be comprised of Rec Committee members, Township staff and other interested parties. Carried Page 19 of 142

4. Action Items: Re sp No Closure Actions, Decisions and Important Issues on Status . Date sibl e Committee reviewed a Renfrew County Youth Strategy document recently forwarded by GP open County officials to Mr. Patterson and declared unanimously that McNab/Braeside Township should be included in this initiative. Goals of the project are to: 1) build capacity for youth engagement, 2) support youth led events, 3) support a virtual youth resource hub, 4) create a structure that strengthens youth voice, 5) engage all levels of government in supporting youth in Renfrew County and 6) explore a governance model for Renfrew County Youth network Moved by Jason Marshall, seconded by Teresa Bahm that Council approve entering into an agreement with Renfrew County, specifically regarding Youth Strategy, and offer staff resources to assist with support and organization of this project. Carried

Committee heard from Geoff regarding a local Pembroke/Petawawa and District Foundation that has been tasked with managing grant funding from Canada’s 150th. Since their guidelines require that any money they dole out must be matched by existing funding, AMBUSC has requested that we apply to this group to acquire $5000 in funding to match the $5k they have committed to the patio/gazebo project at the Ruth MacNeil Building at Dochart Park. The Rec Director has examined parameters of the grant application set out by the local Foundation and has determined that this request fits in with their criteria. Moved by Matthew Arseneau, seconded by Jason Marshall that Council approve the pursuit of funding through an application to the “Giving that Grows” stream put out by the Pembroke/Petawawa District Community Foundation for the amount of $5000 that would go toward the soccer shelter project at Dochart Soccer Park. Carried The group wished to determine a location for the next meeting at a later date pending JM open availability of the Council Chambers. They also noted to the members in attendance this evening that couldn’t make it to the last meeting that having the CAO and Treasurer at the December meeting to explain some of the processes involved with decision making and developments involving the proposed Braeside RA Centre was an invaluable resource. The group wished to have CAO, Treasurer and perhaps other staff welcomed to subsequent meetings to give updated information involving decisions regarding future townships facilities. 10 Committee member Matthew Arseneau moved to adjourn the meeting at 9:10 pm and JM Closed 17/1/11 Committee member Teresa Bahm seconded. All were in favor. The next meeting is scheduled for Feb. 1, 2017 at 7pm. No further action necessary. Page 20 of 142

RE: Olympia Homes Subdivision — Town of Arnprior

Intersection Designs — County Road 45 (Vanjumar Drive) with Desmond Trudeau Drive and County Road 45 (Russett Drive) with Desmond Trudeau Drive

We have reviewed the updated design drawings received on December 7, 2016 with regards to the required road improvements along County Road 45 (Russett Drive and Vanjumar Drive).

Russett Drive

A cross section at station 0+110 is to be submitted for our review. Of particular interest in this area is how the proposed side slopes and ditch will tie into the culverts at Desmond Trudeau Drive.

Drawing No. 115151-EX-RM notes that the ”existing ditch to be filled in and replaced with culvert shown on drawings 115151-GS and 115151-D". Drawing No. 115151-GS does not note a culvert and appears to show an open ditch for drainage along the north side of Russett Drive. In addition, the cross section for the ditch is not consistent with the existing ditch spot elevations provided on plan. This would indicate that the ditch is to be raised, which may have an impact on any existing sump pump outlets to the ditch. Please clarify the proposed approach for drainage conveyance in this area.

Calculations for the sizing ofthe culverts at Desmond Trudeau Drive are to be submitted for our review. The County has been unable to obtain a copy of the Engineer's Report for the Municipal Drain so as to confirm the required size for the Culverts.

Drawing No. PP-1 dated February 17, 2011 was submitted for approval as part of the subdivision drawing package. The drawing includes a profile design for the intersection of Desmond Trudeau Drive with Russett Drive. It does not appear that the intersection has been constructed in accordance with the design. We will require an as constructed profile drawing for Desmond Trudeau Drive. The profile drawing is to include the proposed widening of Russett Drive to the northern road allowance property line. Page 35 of 142

Planofsubdivision — CR45 (Russett Drivel-Olympia Subdivision 2

VaniumarDrive

The location of the gas main shown on the drawings does not correspond to our records from Enbridge. The location of the gas main is to be confirmed and the drawings updated accordingly.

Drawing No. PP-3 dated February 17, 2011 was submitted for approval as part of the subdivision drawing package. The drawing includes a profile design for the intersection of Desmond Trudeau Drive with Vanjumar Drive. It does not appear that the intersection has been constructed in accordance with the design. We will require an as constructed profile drawing for Desmond Trudeau Drive. The profile drawing is to include the proposed widening of Vanjumar Drive to the eastern road allowance property line.

General Notes

Drawing No. 115151-D displays a typical section for widening which indicates that the existing asphalt along Russett Drive and Vanjumar Drive will be milled and overlaid with 40mm of hot mix asphalt. The developer must confirm that sufficient asphalt depth exists along Russett Drive and Vanjumar Drive so that the final asphalt depth will be a minimum of 80mm. If sufficient asphalt depth does not exist, the developer will be required to pulverize the existing asphalt and repave with two 40mm lifts in the area of the widening.

The County is currently considering completing the widening of Russett Drive and Vanjumar Drive between County Road 2 (White LakeRoad) and Campbell Drive. Rather than tapers shown at the limits of widening, square ends are to be shown with two lanes of 3.5 metres and 1.0 metre paved shoulders within the limitsofthe developers widening areas.

We note that existing centreline profiles have been submitted for Vanjumar Drive and Russett Drive. We will require that a proposed centreline profile be shown on the drawing which is to include proposed grades. Pulverizing/grading or asphalt padding may be required to create a uniform profile as was constructed under a County project in 2004. The profile is to include the existing centreline for the area of station 1+300 to 1+600.

The curb terminations at the intersections with Vanjumar Drive and Russett Drive are to be buried.

The developer will be required to adjust all affected manholes and water valves to match the new asphalt grades.

A pavement marking drawing is to be submitted indicating all required pavement markings including the white edge line separating the travelled lanes from the paved shoulder. The centerline of the intersecting road alignment should be shown on the drawings for both the Vanjunar Drive and Russet Drive intersections.

The north arrow on drawing 115151-PP2 is oriented incorrectly and requires adjustment. Page 36 of 142

Plan of Subdivision — CR45 (Russett Drivel—Olympia Subdivision 3

Previously Completed Works

An entrance has been constructed adjacent to Vanjumar Drive approximately 185 metres north of Desmond Trudeau Drive. The entrance is to be removed.

It appears that additional street lights have been installed at the intersections with Vanjumar Drive and with Russett Drive which have not been shown on any of the previous design drawings. Our records do not indicate that a Road Occupancy Permit or any other form of approval was obtained from the County prior to their installation. Plans for all works constructed within the County right-of-way will be required for our review and approval. These lights may require relocation as part of the intersection works.

We trust that these comments will be of assistance and look forward to your response. If you require clarification on any of the above, please do not hesitate to contact myself or Nathan Kuiackof this office.

Delivering the 2016 Assessment Update

About This Report The following report has been developed to provide municipal administration and elected officials with an executive summary of the work undertaken by Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) in delivering assessed values for the 2016 Assessment Update.

MPAC is committed to providing property owners, municipalities and all its stakeholders with the best possible service. Our goal is a stable assessment base through greater transparency, shared understanding and accuracy in property values.

Introduction In Ontario, property assessments are updated every four years. The 2016 Assessment Update reflects a legislated valuation date of January 1, 2016, for the 2017-2020 property tax years. MPAC’s work to deliver the 2016 Assessment Update began in 2015—nearly two years earlier than previous Assessment Updates. As part of our efforts, we introduced some of the most significant reforms to Ontario’s property assessment system since 1998, and recognized early engagement and openness as keys to our success. The following report summarizes the initiatives that MPAC has undertaken to: • Deliver on our commitment to engage with and provide greater access to information for property owners, municipalities and stakeholders • Improve our valuation analysis, methods and models • Increase our assessment quality through stringent data cleansing, quality checks and testing our work through third parties

2016 Assessment Update: Municipal Summary Report 3 Page 53 of 142

Our 2013-2016 Disclosure Strategic Plan MPAC has launched disclosure initiatives to inform property owners and municipalities about how accurate property values are established. MPAC’s MPAC provided property approach to disclosure varies by property type. The disclosure initiatives owners, municipalities and include ongoing consultations with property owners and municipalities to stakeholders with the best determine appropriate valuation methodology and valuation parameters. possible service through transparency, predictability and accuracy—and works with municipalities and property owners and industry Three levels of Disclosure associations to identify LEVELS documentation were established: potential opportunities 3 to further refine Ontario’s property tax system. 1 Methodology Guides 33 guides that explain assessment methodology, and Methodology Guide reflect appraisal industry standards and best practices.

3 Property Specific Valuation Information Detailed information is also provided for over 5 million Property Specific Valuation Information properties in Ontario, including 600,000+ farm and business properties, available through secure access (aboutmyproperty.ca) to property taxpayers, their representatives and municipalities. MPAC has published 33 additional supporting documents, including our Information and Data Sharing Policy, Economic Obsolescence Reports, and Cost Analytics.

2016 Assessment Update: Municipal Summary Report 4 Page 54 of 142

2016 Assessment Update Rollout

Residential Properties Notices for residential property owners were mailed over a 21-week period starting on April 4, 2016. The staggered approach was intended for MPAC to: • Resolve any property owner concerns before final Assessment Rolls are returned to municipalities • Allow for more localized targeted outreach • Manage the influx of calls to our call centre to better respond to enquiries

Residential Market Trends Launched April 2016, Residential Market Trends is a new, user-friendly online tool on aboutmyproperty.ca designed to inform property taxpayers about key market shifts happening in their neighbourhood and across Ontario. Through interactive maps, property owners can understand how property assessments have changed in any specified neighbourhood. The maps display information on the average assessment increase in an area, including the value of a typical home, condominium and waterfront property value from 2016 to 2017. Provincially, residential property values have increased on average by 4.5% annually since 2012. Over the next four years, the average residential property will increase by 18%.

Key Improvement Areas Improved Sales/Data Validation MPAC completed more sales investigations and data quality checks in preparation for this year’s assessment update than past reassessments. MPAC staff investigated more than 200,000 sales since 2012, which is more than double the sales reviewed for the 2012 Assessment Update. MPAC also reviewed and updated more than 2.8 million data elements. Redesigned Property Assessment Notice MPAC redesigned the Property Assessment Notice as part of its commitment to enhance the residential taxpayer experience and educate property taxpayers on the valuation process.

2016 Assessment Update: Municipal Summary Report 5 Page 55 of 142

MPAC conducted quantitative and qualitative research through a third party to receive feedback from residential taxpayers from across Ontario. Enhancements were made based on this feedback and through consultation with the Ministry of Finance. Changes include: • An Issue Date and specific Request for Reconsideration (RfR) deadline for each of the applicable tax years • A clear explanation of phase-in • A simple explanation of the Ontario Property Assessment System • Information on the valuation process and the five key factors that affect residential property value Improved Understanding In advance of the residential Notice mailing, a variety of resources were provided to property owners, including: • Brochures About MPAC Understanding Your 2016 Property Assessment Notice Resolving Assessment Concerns/Requests for Reconsideration (RfR) Residential Properties Newly Built Homes Waterfront Properties • Videos AboutMyProperty™ Overview How MPAC Assesses Properties The Request for Reconsideration process Property Assessment and Taxation • Residential Market Trends

Farm Properties MPAC has strengthened the accuracy and equity of farm valuations for the 2016 Assessment Update. Property Assessment Notices were delivered starting October 11, 2016, with an average annual increase of 16% since 2012. Over the next four years, the average farm property will increase by 64%.

Farm Market Trends Farm Market Trends were created for 48 different geographic regions, and the Current Value Assessment change shows the percentage increase for year one of the phase-in (2017). The maps also show a rate per acre of Class 1 farmland, which is often how farmers speak when referencing the value of their farm property.

Average annual assessment changes reflect the median value for farm properties, regardless of the property class. This includes vacant farmland, farms with residences and outbuildings. The farm market trends map for 48 different geographic regions are available on aboutmyproperty.ca.

Key Improvement Areas Data Integrity/Accuracy For the 2016 Update, MPAC implemented a number of changes that have resulted in a better approach to farm valuations. • Improved farm sale verification process. MPAC undertook significant analysis and only used sales of farmland sold to farmers to determine farmland rates. Farm verifications included a standard letter and questionnaire sent to new farm owners, and a mandatory review of vacant farm land sales that are 10 acres or greater. • Comprehensive review of vacant farm land sales back to January 2008. A longer sales period increased the number of farm sales in MPAC’s analysis by approximately 40% over past reassessments (sales are time-adjusted to reflect market changes over time). • Reduction in the number of farm neighbourhoods.Farm neighbourhoods have been combined, resulting in a reduction from 228 to 167 neighbourhoods. This has enabled MPAC to use more sales transactions in its determination of the farm land rates. MPAC staff also reviewed the values for farms in bordering neighbourhoods to ensure equity in the valuations. • New Agricultural Cost Guide. MPAC is now relying on a new, up-to-date agricultural cost guide to determine the value of farm structures.

2016 Assessment Update: Municipal Summary Report 8 Page 58 of 142

Consultation and Engagement In consultation with the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA), the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), municipalities and industry representatives, MPAC worked closely with the farming community to provide additional transparency regarding farmland valuations. Redesigned Property Assessment Notice MPAC engaged property owners and industry groups through focus groups to discuss potential enhancements to the Property Assessment Notice. As a result of feedback received, MPAC customized the Farm Notice to clearly indicate whether the property is classified in the residential or farm tax property class and include acreage as part of the property description. Improved Understanding In addition to outreach and consultation, MPAC created a suite of communication materials to help farm property owners understand the changes being introduced for farm properties as part of this year’s province-wide Assessment Update. The materials include: • A new Farm brochure • How MPAC Assesses Farm Properties video • An Infographic that explains how MPAC values farm properties • Understanding your Farm Property Assessment Notice Brochure • Access to all three levels of disclosure for their farm property through aboutmyproperty.ca • Farm Market Trends

Business Properties Business property owners received their 2016 Notices starting on October 18, 2016. Values reflect the local real estate market and MPAC’s analysis of the market indicates that most categories of business property have increased in value over the last four years. MPAC has made considerable efforts to analyze local markets, review the data on file and talk to property owners in advance of the update.

Multi-Residential MPAC has changed the way multi-residential properties are assessed and used the Direct Capitalization Approach for the 2016 Assessment Update. These changes were implemented as a result of feedback received during consultations with the Federation of Rental-Housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO), the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada (Ontario Region Office) and the Ontario Non-Profit Housing Association. Provincially, multi- residential property values have increased on average by 7% annually since 2012. Over the next four years, the average multi-residential property will increase by 28%.

2016 Assessment Update: Municipal Summary Report 11 Page 61 of 142

Commercial Commercial properties have a broad range of uses including small retail, food service, shopping centres or big box centres, office buildings or other general commercial uses. MPAC conducted pre-roll discussions and/or information sessions with Ontario Business Improvement Area Associations, large office and large retail property owners, major tenants (i.e., national chains) to review preliminary valuation parameters for the various sectors.

Key Improvement Areas • More than 62,000 sales investigations on commercial/industrial properties province-wide, representing almost 90% of all sales for the province • Staff reviewed and updated more than 2.8 million data elements • Engagement has focused on property owners and stakeholders most likely to be affected by changes (either in methodology or value) and those who have expressed an interest in participating in pre-roll discussion and consultation Methodology Changes MPAC engaged key stakeholder groups, municipalities, property owners and the Ministry of Finance in discussions about methodology changes in advance of the update. Key changes include: • Big Box Stores – changed from the income approach to the cost approach • Consolidated Courthouses – changed from the income approach to the cost approach • Billboards – assessed using the regulated cost approach and included in the commercial property class • Equity Co-ops/Co-ownerships – returning to its approach of valuing Equity Co-ops and Co-ownerships by the direct sales comparison approach • Multi-Residential – changed the application of the income approach from a Gross Income Multiplier approach to a direct capitalization of net income

Improved Understanding Multi-residential and business owners have access to a range of assessment tools and information to assist them in understanding how MPAC has assessed their property. These tools include: • A new Multi-Residential Brochure and Infographic with an overview of MPAC’s approach to valuing multi-residential properties • A Small Commercial and Industrial Properties Brochure • Understanding your Business Property Assessment Notice Brochure • A video that explains the Request for Reconsideration Process for Business Properties • Business Market Trends for Commercial, Industrial and Multi-Residential properties

Large and Special Purpose Business Properties Large and special purpose business properties are generally characterized as properties that have a unique design, layout, size, construction materials and/or building services that facilitate one or a limited number of uses. • They have limited market possibilities, except as a going concern business • They typically have specialized building services • They tend to serve large market areas that are more regional, national or international in scope • They generally contain machines and machine fittings that are designed to facilitate one purpose • Adaptation to other uses is typically challenging, requiring significant alterations and rarely finding economically viable uses for all of the improvements As part of MPAC’s delivery of the 2016 Assessment Update and the implementation of the recommendations under the Ministry of Finance’s Special Purpose Business Property Assessment Review (SPBPAR) Report, MPAC established an Advance Disclosure Protocol for Large and Special Purpose Business Properties. The protocol provided municipalities and property taxpayers with the opportunity to review and comment on MPAC’s market analytics and preliminary assessed values for large and special purpose business properties in advance of roll return. Under the Ministry of Finance’s Section 10 directive, MPAC was required to develop Methodology Guides for the following large and special purpose business property types: • Pulp and Paper Mills • Saw Mills • Value-Added Wood Products Manufacturing Plants • Steel Manufacturing Plants • Automotive Assembly Plants • Automobile Parts Manufacturing Plants

2016 Assessment Update: Municipal Summary Report 16 Page 66 of 142

Recognizing the complexities surrounding other property sectors, MPAC followed the same procedure for the following additional large and special purpose business property types: • Pharmaceutical Manufacturing • Chemical Manufacturing • Oil Refineries • Mining • Food Processing • Aerospace

Consultation Engagement and collaboration has provided municipalities and property owners with an opportunity to review and comment on MPAC’s sector level analytics and preliminary assessed values for large and special purpose business property types. Preliminary valuation summaries were shared with property owners and municipalities in May of 2016 encouraging property owners and municipalities to review the information and provide feedback, and to share alternate data, evidence and analysis with MPAC. This feedback was reflected in the updated preliminary values distributed by MPAC on October 4, 2016, which allowed property owners and municipalities a final opportunity to review their revised preliminary summary and offer input prior to Property Assessment Notice delivery on November 28, 2016.

Our Approach to Value

The Municipal Experience A redesigned Municipal Connect™ allows for better understanding and management of the assessment base and assessment at risk, and offers municipalities a modern and flexible way to access assessment information. To better support the management of municipal services and provide further insight into the 2016 Assessment Update, Municipal Connect™ provided municipalities with access to preliminary values allowing for early consultation/discussion with the goal of greater roll stability and predictability. Many enhancements were made in the development of Municipal Connect 2.0. Key changes include: • Access to preliminary values through the Pre-Roll Consultation File for the 2016 Current Value Assessment (2017 to 2020 tax years) • Weighted assessments based on a municipality’s specific ratios • New and enhanced mapping and satellite photo capabilities, including property type and assessment parcel overlays • Access to Commercial/Industrial preliminary values • Access to Assessment Review Board appeal and Request for Reconsideration information MPAC staff continue to work to provide additional enhancements to meet municipalities’ unique needs. Throughout 2017, we will continue to transition functionality from the classic version of Municipal Connect, offer municipalities improved flexibility to build on-demand reports, as well as continue to improve the ability to search, sort, and monitor properties.

Conclusion

Throughout the 2016 Assessment Update, we have placed careful and deliberate focus on increased transparency and a shared understanding of property assessments. Careful consideration was given to property sectors where there was a change in methodology, and we have worked collaboratively to engage municipalities, stakeholders and property owners to deliver fair and accurate property assessments. Significant improvements were introduced this year including the early mailing of Notices, revamped aboutmyproperty.ca site, redesigned Property Assessment Notices, work on advance disclosure, early engagement and pre-roll discussions. These changes share a common goal that is rooted in MPAC’s commitment to bring stability and predictability to municipalities’ tax base. As final rolls are delivered, and we enter the first year of Ontario’s next four-year cycle, we remain focused on continuing to support all our stakeholders with regard to 2016 base year assessments. We are also committed to continuously improving our service to stakeholders and encourage you to share your feedback with us on the delivery of the 2016 Assessment Update. Looking forward, we are excited to foster continuous improvements in service delivery through greater collaboration between MPAC and municipalities. Your local Municipal and Stakeholder Relations team is available to support you throughout the Assessment Update and beyond. Please contact your Regional Manager, Account Manager or Account Support Coordinator if you have questions or would like more information about this report.

To whom it may concern:

Re: Support for RickHansen Access4Al| Barrier Buster Project

The Township of McNab/Braesideis pleased to offer our support to St. Andrew's United Church in White Lake,Ontario, in their application for funding from the Rick Hansen Foundation Access4Al| program. We recognize the importance of building a country that is accessible for all and feel that the Accessible Handicap Washroom Project will leave a lasting legacy of improved accessibility and awareness in our community.

The RickHansen Access4A|| Barrier Buster Project is needed because the current washroom facility is not accessible which creates issues for St. Andrew's United Church in their attempt to welcome and accommodate all congregation members, visitors and anyone attending fundraising events. We support St. Andrew's United Church in their effort to accommodate the proper access to a handicap washroom to everyone and we agree that the barriers currently in place restrict some people from attending the church, an accessible washroom would eliminate the barriers that currently exist.

If you require any additional information, please contact me, Tom Peckett, Mayor at [email protected] or 613-6235756 ext. 229.

Dear Premier Wynne:

Re: Resolution to Address the inequity in Property Taxation on Railway Right-of-Way’s Collected by Municipalities in Ontario.

At the recent meeting of Council held on Monday, January 9, 2017, the following resolution was approved:

"WHEREAS it has been identified that Railway Companies in the province of Ontario, do not pay a proportionate share of municipal property tax as compared to other properties in their class, or compared to any other municipal tax class; and; WHEREAS in other provinces and jurisdictions the railway companies do remit a more equitable share of taxes to the local tax base; and; WHEREAS taxes in other jurisdictions for railway properties are calculated using a ton- mile concept; and; WHEREAS said fees are reviewed and adjusted on a regular basis according to inflation and ongoing current conditions; and; WHEREAS the Province of Ontario has continued to fall further and further behind in their approach to railroad property taxation over the past 112 plus years; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Town of Fort Frances call upon the Minister of Finance for the Province of Ontario to implement a new system of municipal property taxation for railroad right-of-way properties based on utilizing a per ton-mile concept; and; FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED THATthe new tax system when implemented, be reviewed on a regular basis, similar to the MPAC four-year assessment cycle; and; FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED THAT this resolution be sent to every Municipal Council within the Province of Ontario seeking their support, the Premier of Ontario, the Ministerof Finance of Ontario, Ontario MPPs, Local MP5, RRDMA, NOMA,AMO and FONOM."

TOPLINE MESSAGING (MUNICIPAL) + The Arnprior Region currently sits at 24.9 beds per thousand residents over the age of 75 which is less than one third of the provincial average of 80.8. The Arnprior Regional Health Board of Directors has completed a comprehensive review of The Grove, which calls for redevelopment of the site to increase to 96 long-term care beds, 20-30 affordable seniors’ accommodation, and seniors’ programming such as assisted living and an adult-day program. This expansion would provide care to dozens of seniors who are currently on the waitlist or who must leave the community, and will help create a community where residents are able to age. The Arnprior community is growing increasingly frustrated at the lack of a solution to address the inequity it faces in access to |ong—term care beds and that the current facilities at The Grove cannot accommodate patients with advanced dementia. Our community may be located in a rural area, but rural is not remote and the demand for long-term care is rapidly increasing. Representatives from Arnprior Regional Health have met with the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care's office, ministry officials including Deputy Minister Bob Bell,the Champlain LHIN,the Eastern Ontario Liberal Caucus and the local MPP about the need for equitable access to long-term care.

Hon. Eric Hoskins Minister of Health and Long-term Care Hepburn Block 10th Floor 80 Grosvenor Street Toronto, ON M7A 2C4

Dear Minister Hoskins,

I am writing you on behalf of the Town of Arnprior to express the need to establish additional support for seniors in my community who desperately need access to long-term care. in February 2016 the Town of Arnprior, with support from an Age-Friendly Community Grant from the Province of Ontario, released their Age-Friendly Community Plan. The plan included a public consultation with seniors living who were engaged on a number of issues ranging from transportation, housing, recreation and healthcare. While developing the Age-Friendly Community Plan, it became clear to the Town of Arnprior that there are a number of steps can be taken to ensure that older members of our community have the supports they need so they can live in a secure environment. One area that was of particular concern to our community was access to long-term care as our region currently sits at 24.9 beds per thousand residents over the age of 75 which is less than one third of the provincial average of 80.8. Following the release of the Age-Friendly Community Plan, the Town of Arnprior and Arnprior Regional Health came together and established both the Greater Arnprior Seniors Council and the Grove Re-Development Task Force respectively, which together have set out to address the need for additional long-term care for our region. Moreover, the Arnprior Regional Health Board of Directors has completed a comprehensive review of The Grove, which calls for redevelopment of the site to increase to 96 long-term care beds, 20-30 affordable seniors’ accommodation, and seniors’ programming such as assisted livingand an adult-day program. This expansion would provide care to dozens of seniors who are currently on the waitlist or who must leave the community, and willhelp create a community where residents are able to age. The Arnprior community is growing increasingly frustrated at the lack of a solution to address the inequity it faces in access to long-term care beds and that the current facilities at The Grove cannot accommodate patients with advanced dementia. As seniors in our region do not have equitable access to long-term care we hope that you will consider our request for 36 additional long-term care bed licenses. We believe that this is the first step towards ensuring that seniors in our community live in a secure environment, enjoy good health and continue to participate in society. We thank you for your consideration and look forward to hearing from you on next steps to establish a timely solution.

As we currently sit well below the provincial average of long-term care beds per thousand residents over the age of 75 we hope that you willhelp us advocate for 36 additional long-term care bed licenses. We believe that this is the first step towards ensuring that seniors in our community live in a secure environment, enjoy good health and continue to participate in society.

Mr. Yakabuski, we are turning to you as our Provincial Member of Parliament and hope that you will act as our voice at Queens Park and express to your colleagues and Ministryofficials a solution in the near term to address the inequity in long-term care for our community, and a growing demand for long-term care in our community. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look fonivard to hearing back from you as to the next steps to a positive solution for our community.

Good evening,

I am writing with a concern that I've raised in the past regarding snowmobile use of the trail behind our home.

We live on Fairhaven Place and the old tracks behind our house, although deemed not for use by motorized vehicles, is constantly used by snowmobiles in the winter.

While daytime use at acceptable speeds is not of concern to me, I worry A LOT about the use of this trail at dusk/dark and the speed at which some of the snowmobiles travel is also a concern!

My daughter (9 years old) has a little dog walking job and has always used this path in order to stay off of the road and keep her in our site. Unfortunately she has had to stop using it due to the scare of being hit by a high speed sled! 1 Page 96 of 142

Many, many people use this track for walking, snowshoeing, and cross country skiing and it's a pity that they can't do so safely!

Is there a way to address this problem so that everyone stays safe? Perhaps a way to barrier the trail to keep the motorized vehicles off?

I appreciate that there are likely several others in the township with similar concerns and appreciate the attention you give to making our township a safe and enjoyable place to live, work, and play!

THE CONSTITUTIONAL STATEMENT

PART A - THE PREAMBLE does not constitute part of this amendment.

PART B - THE AMENDMENT consisting of the following text and Schedule “A” constitutes Amendment No. 9 to the Official Plan for the Township of McNab/Braeside.

PART A - THE PREAMBLE

Purpose

To redesignate the lands shown on Schedule “A” attached hereto to Rural Exception- Five, in the Township of McNab/Braeside Official Plan, to prohibit new lot creation until such time as the deficient design of a portion of Robertson Line is corrected and reconstructed to the Township’s satisfaction.

Location

The lands affected by this amendment are described as part of Lots 6 to 10, inclusive, Concessions 6 and 7, fronting on Hidden River Road, Gun Smith Road and a portion of Robertson Line, in the geographic Township of McNab, as shown on the Key Map found in Appendix I.

Basis

The Official Plan for the Township of McNab/Braeside was adopted by the Council of the Township of McNab/Braeside on December 2, 2008 and approved by the County of Renfrew on February 26, 2009, save and except for a site-specific appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board that was resolved as of August 9, 2009. This amendment represents the ninth amendment to the Official Plan.

Proposal

The lands affected by this amendment cover approximately 82 hectares with road frontage on Hidden River Road, Gunsmith Road and a portion of Robertson Line. The issue is the deficient design of a portion of Robertson Line at Hansons Creek where the road has a significant vertical sag curve that does not meet current Ministry of Transportation Geometric Design Standards for Ontario. The implications are potential constraints and hazards for vehicle operation particularly when the road is snow-covered or icy. There are currently fifteen existing dwellings north of Hansons Creek that generate traffic on this portion of Robertson Line. In the interest of preventing an increase in potential incidents, the Township of McNab/Braeside has deemed it prudent to restrict additional new lot development until the road deficiency is corrected. The proposed amendment will provide clarity for development within this area which will prevent new lot creation but maintain the rights for existing vacant lots to be developed. Page 130 of 142

Surrounding Land Uses

The subject lands are surrounded by mostly large rural farm properties and some rural residential lots. The lands affected are bound by the Madawaska River to the north and Hansons Creek to the south.

Provincial Policy Statement (PPS)

The Provincial Policy Statement supports improved land use planning including matters of health and safety related to development. Section 1.6.7 sets outs matters related to transportation that approval authorities should consider when approving developments. Specifically, Section 1.6.7.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) states that transportation systems should be provided which are safe, energy efficient, facilitate the movement of people and goods, and are appropriate to address projected needs. Section 1.6.7.5 requires that transportation and land use considerations shall be integrated at all stages of the planning process.

Township of McNab/Braeside Official Plan

The Official Plan designates the subject area as mostly Rural with some areas designated Environmental Protection. Section 3.3(1) of the Plan permits a variety of non-residential rural uses as well as low density residential uses in the Rural designation. The Environmental Protection designation generally protects natural features such as watercourses and associated lands, wetlands, valley lands and steep slopes from development.

For any new lot development, the consent policies of Section 15.0 of the McNab/Braeside Official Plan must be considered. Specifically, Section 15.2(5) states that consents will not be granted for land adjacent to a road from which access is to be obtained where a traffic hazard could be created because of limited sight lines on curves or grades, or in close proximity to road intersections. Section 15.3(2) of the McNab/Braeside Official Plan also requires that a plan of subdivision shall not be recommended for approval unless “all lands intended to be used as building sites can be used safely for building purposes without danger from... adverse conditions so as to be a danger to the health and safety of the present and future ratepayers of the Township.” Section 15.3(6) of the plan goes on to state development shall only be permitted where “convenient access to a public road is available so as to ensure ready accessibility for school buses, ambulances, fire trucks and other essential service vehicles.”

Analysis

The subject area has been identified by the Township as an area of concern for future new lot development due to the physical nature of a portion of Robertson Line that provides Page 131 of 142

3 access. The intent of Official Plan Amendment No. 9 will be clearly set out in the proposed Rural Exception-Five policy. It is intended to, both, maintain the property rights of the affected landowners to develop existing vacant lots in keeping with the Township’s land use planning documents but also allow the municipality to take a pro-active approach to ensure any new lot development, creating additional traffic, does not occur until the design deficiency of Robertson Line is satisfactorily addressed. Official Plan Amendment No. 9, in this regard, conforms to both Provincial Policy and the Township’s Official Plan for efficient and safe access for development.

PART B - THE AMENDMENT

All of this part of the document entitled Part B - The amendment, consisting of the following text and Schedule “A” constitutes Amendment No. 9 to the Official Plan for the Township of McNab/Braeside.

Details of the Amendment

The Official Plan is amended as follows:

(a) Schedule “A” of the Official Plan is hereby amended by redesignating those lands described as part of Lots 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, Concessions 6 and 7, geographic Township of McNab in the Township of McNab/Braeside, to Rural Exception-Five, as shown on the attached Schedule A.

(b) By adding the following subsections 3.5(e) Rural Exception-Five to SECTION 3.5 – EXCEPTIONS, immediately following section 3.5(d):

“(e) Rural Exception-Five

This policy applies to those lands designated Rural Exception-Five as identified on Schedule A to this Plan and located in parts of Lots 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, Concessions 6 and 7 in the geographic Township of McNab. Robertson Line crosses Hansons Creek in Lot 7 between Concessions 6 and 7. There is a significant vertical sag curve (dip) in the road at the location of the creek crossing. The vertical curves and the steep grade of the road in this location do not satisfy the requirements of the current MTO Geometric Design Standards for Ontario Highways. The Township has therefore identified this area as having a deficient design as well as vehicle operational constraints when the roadway is snow covered or icy.

Until this section of road is reconstructed to meet the design standards there remains a potential hazard due to this deficiency. Increasing the number of vehicle trips on this road by further lot creation would increase the likelihood of an incident. New lot creation that would result in a building lot accessing the area designated Rural Exception-Five is prohibited until such time that the dip has been fixed to the satisfaction of the Township.

Existing lots of record may still be utilized (including the construction of new dwellings where permitted) in accordance with the permitted uses and standards of the Comprehensive Zoning By-law.”

Implementation and Interpretation

The implementation and interpretation of this Amendment shall be in accordance with the respective policies of the Official Plan for the Township of McNab/Braeside.
