2. ROLL CALL

The Clerk verbally took a roll call of the Councillors in attendance.

Warden White gave the following statement:

“Today, right now, this period in time is a crossroads for us. It’s time for us to determine our direction for the future. Do we let hate take hold, or do we stand for something better? What type of country do we want to live in? One of hate, or one of peace?

Leadership starts with us. We have the ability to set a course to a better way through our actions. It’s not an easy task, but it is a necessary one, and one we can do.

We must continually strive to re-commit ourselves to the tenants of Diversity Equity and Inclusion in all that we do. Whether we are talking about issues of a planning nature, for example the Cayuga Snipe Chief’s announcement of a moratorium on development in the Haldimand deed lands, or about the 215 innocent children who were found at a residential school site in Kamloops. There is no room for contradiction in our policy or our direction. We can’t demand righteousness on one hand while stonewalling on the other.

There is a learning curve here. A steep one in some respects and one that some will struggle with more than others. I know there has been much to learn from my perspective and I know that there is still so much that is still to come. I suspect many of you feel the same. While the onus is on us to actively participate in that learning, it’s so important that we realize what we really need to do more of is listen.

If we as leaders cannot commit at the very least to this, perhaps we should consider if we deserve to hold the seats we have at all.

It’s time for us to speak up, so that Ignorance is not the loudest voice of all.

COUNCIL MINUTES – June 10, 2021 – Page 2 To my Muslim Brothers and Sisters, I offer this:

We were all so very saddened to learn of the Terrorist act in London that took the life of four members of a family and left a 9 year old boy injured.

We mourn with you and share in your grief, and can only hope that we can help soothe some of your pain.

Please know that for every one person who would strike out in anger and hate, those who stand with you in peace and love and understanding number in the hundreds

Please don’t despair, together we are better than the hatred of one.”

9. PUBLIC QUESTION PERIOD

Josh MacEwen submitted the following question to Council:

“The question pertains to the motion on beginning communications with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy regarding the moratorium on development along the Haldimand Tract, passed at the Community Development and Tourism Committee on May 27, 2021.

Will inquiries be made about whether development is currently taking place, or soon slated to start, in Dufferin County on land within the Haldimand Tract? If there is development transpiring or planned to begin soon, is there a plan of action to halt and postpone any of this work?

The query is being made to help ensure that Dufferin County is perceived as approaching the discussions with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy in good faith. One grows concerned that the opportunities to do so are becoming increasingly limited, especially after seeing that the Grand Valley council asked staff to explore whether it is possible to use a ministerial zoning order to expedite the building of a subdivision.

Several members of the county council who have investigated the moratorium are aware of the faulty mapping of the Haldimand Tract. East Garafraxa Councillor Tom Nevills mentioned that there was difficulty determining whether the tract includes Marsville. The consequences of unclear mapping are even more evident with Shelburne, which may have led to the Haudenosaunee being excluded from the

COUNCIL MINUTES – June 10, 2021 – Page 4 town's land acknowledgement and maybe even planning application circulations. Left unchecked, poor mapping can increase the number of municipalities continuing to allow land development that should fall under the Haudenosaunee’s moratorium.

It may be convenient to shrug some of this off, allowing one to continue with the status quo, but these issues compound like interest. Some councillors belong to municipalities that may be able to sympathize as they too have fallen victim to lousy mapping. It can result in a mysterious unowned lot that no one seems to know what to do with, such as what looks to have happened in Melancthon. Another example is unfarmable land throughout the county being declared prime agriculture. The next mapping minefield seems to be natural heritage features. As council knows, correcting maps is not easy. That said, at the bare minimum, it is crucial to determine who owns what land and to be sure someone doesn't have a claim to property that the municipality is allowing someone else to build on. It would be unsurprising if it were discovered that not doing so could be deemed as negligent and failure to act.

Lastly, one county councillor has questioned, on multiple occasions, whether the Haudenosaunee are paying taxes on the Haldimand Tract land. An appropriate follow-up question to this is, 'Does any councillor think landowners should be expected to pay taxes to a municipality or follow its one-sided laws if council is allowing others to divide up, sell, and build upon the landowner's property without explicit and informed consent?'

More relevant and something that could be asked of all councillors, is if one would consider a council to be working in good faith towards a meaningful resolution on a matter such as the one described if building on the disputed land was allowed to continue in the meantime.”

Warden White advised at this time Council is not able to provide a detailed answer, they did acknowledge that this will be a process. Council recognized that the mapping varies depending on the source. The mapping used by the Museum of Dufferin was provided by Six Nations.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

To: Warden White and Members of Council

From: Sonya Pritchard, Chief Administrative Officer

Meeting Date: July 8, 2021

Subject: Update to DEICAC Terms of Reference

In Support of Strategic Plan Priorities and Objectives: Good Governance - ensure transparency, clear communication, prudent financial management Inclusive and supportive community – support efforts to address current and future needs for a livable community

Purpose

The purpose of this report is to recommend to Council, an update to the DEICAC mandate including a move to collaborate with Headwaters Communities in Action.

Background & Discussion

In July 2020, Council approved a new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Community Advisory Committee and approved a detailed mandate with specific objectives. Since the committee first met in November 2020, monthly meetings have occurred. During this time committee members have discussed priorities and objectives. The original mandate focused on County policy and an advisory role; whereas, the discussions of the committee have highlighted the desire for community engagement, raising awareness, and creating opportunities for education and programming.

The change in mandate would result in a shift for the committee to be more community focused. This new community/grass roots focus is a hallmark of other groups and organizations that are supported by HCIA. There are numerous opportunities for collaboration on shared goals and objectives with the County and other HCIA groups.

Update to DEICAC Terms of Reference Page 2 of 3

To effectively achieve the mandate laid out in the updated Terms of Reference, there is a need to communicate on a regular and timley basis with the community and to provide opportunities for ongoing engagement. Dedicated support to the committee for this work is required, and is beyond the capacity of County staff. In addition, the constraints of County policies and protocols sometimes make it difficult to enage quickly and in a form that encourages ongoing dialogue and feedback. In preliminary discussions, there is support from HCIA staff and, in principle, from the Leadersip Council to take on administration and support of the committee.

Support from HCIA would include meeting coordination, communications, social media posts, help with organizing events, and assistance with fundraising. HCIA is optimistic there are good opportunities to gain additional financial support for the committee’s work through grants and fundraising that are not available when working strictly as a committee of Council. Details of the support arrangement can be detailed in an MOU.

Attached is an updated Terms of Reference that better aligns with the priorities of the current committee and reflects the collaboration with HCIA.

A number of the items in the original Terms of Reference related to County policy, services and operations and the need for input and advice to ensure changes were being made to apply a DEI lens and identify historic, systemic discrimination. This work is extremely important and a strategy to ensure it continues will form part of the responsibilities of the new department head role recently approved by Council. This role will assume the title People and Equity Director.

Financial, Staffing Impact

There are currently a number of staff members providing support to the DEICAC and to the sub-committees. Support from HCIA for the above noted activities is estimated to cost between $10-15,000 for the remainder of the year. There are funds available within the current year budget to accommodate this expenditure. Future costs would be bundled with the annual support for HCIA and will require an update to the agreement.

Recommendations

THAT the report of the Chief Administrative Officer, dated July 8, 2021 with respect to Update to DEICAC terms of Reference, be received;

AND THAT, the updated Terms of Reference be adopted;

Update to DEICAC Terms of Reference Page 3 of 3

AND THAT staff be directed to work with HCIA to draft and impement an MOU to cover the support (estimated at $10-15,000) for the remainder of 2021;

REPORT TO COUNCIL

To: Warden White and Members of Council

From: Sonya Pritchard, Chief Administrative Officer

Meeting Date: July 8, 2021

Subject: Looking ahead post COVID - Service Optimization and Workforce Planning: Strategy Framework

In Support of Strategic Plan Priorities and Objectives: Good Governance - ensure transparency, clear communication, prudent financial management

Purpose

The purpose of this report is to recommend to Council a high level plan that optimizes service delivery, puts people first and builds a workforce strategy that retains and attracts talented staff.

Background & Discussion

Prior to COVID, work was underway through the formal Service Delivery Review (SDR) and through a number of internal committees, discussions and evaluations, to enhance service models and the work environment. It was clear well over a year ago, that there was a need to modernize and plan for a changing future. Many of the ideas being discussed at that time; like remote/flexible work arrgements and online meetings, became a necessity as a result of the pandemic, and implementation has been accelerated.

A number of areas around modernization were covered in the County-only component of the SDR. Recommendations to enhance and improve technology form the foundation of this work, which has gotten underway over the past several months. Improving technology serves many purposes: better security, more efficient and accountable processes, easier accesses for internal and external clients, and better, more integrated information to improve future planning and decision making. Further, the provincial Looking ahead post COVID - Service Optimization and Workforce Planning: Strategy Framework Page 2 of 3

government has been encouraging municipalites to modernize different services through digital transformation.

Municipalities are not the only organizations reviewing how services are delivered and how staff work. Other levels of government, non-profits, and corporate entities are all wrestling with the future of work and workforce planning. There is a general consensus that some form of remote work is here to stay, and organizations around the globe are building hybrid work models that allow for flexibility, collaboration and alternate forms of service delivery. Although these changes pose challenges, such as a requirement to transition to different management and communcations models, the benefits are significant: more choice in how services can be accessed, more flexibility and empowerment for employees, options to reduce barriers to employment and create a more equitable environment, opportunities for meaningful and impactful collaboration and the potential for cost savings.

As we look ahead to the time post COVID and a steady state, there are a number of considerations. Staff have laid out a Strategy Framework. Additional work is required to build out the details and sufficient flexibility must be included to allow for periodic assessment and the ability to shift direction as appropriate. The main components of the strategy include: • Optimizing service delivery: taking a customized approach for each service that will ensure the best and most efficient service delivery models (i.e. how Facilities staff work to maintain properties requires a different approach than how Ontario Works addresses the needs of clients); • Workforce Planning: creating an environment that retains and attracts talented staff (this is a significant challenge for organizations everywhere – there is a people shortage, not a jobs shortage) • Assessing Space Requirements: how to best utilize the space and remain flexible should tenant requirements change in the next few years.

Senior leadership and the management team have been working together to lay out the building blocks of the strategy. The attached Strategy Framework outlines the proposed course of action over the next several months. An update report for September Council is anticipated.

Financial, Staffing Impact

The financial and staffing impact of the attached Strategy Framework can be accommodated within the current year budget.

Service Optimization and Workforce Planning Strategy Framework and Short-Term Actions

Overview: Moving forward to a more steady-state and a time post COVID, requires a comprehensive plan that optimizes service delivery, puts people first and builds a workforce strategy that retains and attracts talented employees.

Framework The following is a framework to build on as the leadership team, managers and staff throughout the organization work together to create a strategy for the future.

Optimizing Service Delivery Finding the best service delivery model to ensure equitable access for residents, clients and internal and external stakeholders is the primary objective. To this end, the strategy is to be based on the underlying principle that there is no one best approach. Every service has different customers and should be optimized to address those needs.

Short Term Actions • Each team to review how the service is being provided now, what’s working, what isn’t, where are areas for improvement, what will change as we move in to a period with less/no restrictions post COVID. • Continue with the digital transformation and technology enhancements outlined in the Service Delivery Review and assess new opportunities as they arise. • Create and implement surveys/questionnaires to assess client/resident feedback.

Workforce Planning Retaining and attracting talented employees with different perspectives and backgrounds is integral to the future success of the County. Organizations around the globe are experiencing a talent shortage and deliberate action is required to ensure the right people are in place to optimize service for the community.

Service Optimization and Workforce Planning: Strategy Framework and Short-Term Actions 1

Short Term Actions • Develop a Workforce Policy that embodies employee engagement, empowerment and accountability including options and opportunities for flexibility and a reassessment period. • Build a hybrid/flexible work model by conducting a review of all job descriptions to ensure they match current requirements and to identify them as on-site, hybrid or mostly remote (based on service delivery and access to tools and equipment). • Work with employees and teams to identify options and opportunities for collaboration, team building and celebration. • Recognizing the current competitive employment market and the fact that there have been a number of organizational changes in the past 18 months; proceed with a market evaluation of all non-union jobs and a pay equity update. • Incorporate a feedback mechanism for staff such as a staff survey/questionnaire to assess what’s working, where improvements are required, where additional support for staff may be needed (from a mental health perspective). Such a system will also assist to identify future opportunities.

Assessing Space Requirements A key component of optimizing service delivery and workforce planning is determining what space is required and how it is utilized. Unfortunately, there is considerable uncertainty with respect to the future use of the areas of County facilities currently occupied by tenants. As a result, short term actions around space planning need to be modest and consider that additional assessment will be needed in the future.

Short Term Actions • Continue with consolidated customer service and administration at the Edelbrock Centre. Throughout the pandemic most in-person access to County services and administration in Orangeville has been at the Edelbrock Centre. The Edelbrock Centre is accessible, has abundant parking and is easy to get to. Upon moving into Step 3 of the Provincial Reopening Plan it is anticipated Edelbrock service hours will resume from 8:30 to 4:30. • Begin planning for the 3rd floor of the 55 Zina space to transition to a collaboration/meeting space for use by County staff, local municipalities, and community organizations. To optimize this space some renovations will be necessary, but until such time there is more certainty around overall space usage and requirements, this should be minimized. • Assess options for hybrid Council and Committee meetings. A report on this issue will be presented to the August General Government Services Committee.

The Honourable Doug Ford Premier of Ontario Queen’s Park Toronto, ON

Dear Premier Ford,

RE: Roadmap to Reopen

The Mayor and members of Council for the Town of Grand Valley are concerned that the “Roadmap to Reopen” plan has removed local health unit COVID-19 status and other local conditions from the reopening plans, but rather seems to be based on regions that account for a disproportionately high number of COVID-19 cases.

Council requests the Province reconsider the colour-coded system that factored in reopening based on local conditions and local decision-making authority. The new cases of COVID-19 nor the vaccinations administered are evenly distributed around the province. Council urges the Province to take into consideration vaccination rates within Public Health regions and not settle on the lowest common denominator.

Should you require anything further, please contact me at your convenience.

Sincerely,

RE: Request Joint Nomination of One Representative to the CTC Source Protection Committee Due by 4:30 P.M. Monday, August 16, 2021

A Source Protection Committee was formed in 2007 to oversee development and implementation of a Source Protection Plan for the Credit Valley, Toronto and Region, and Central Lake Ontario (CTC) Source Protection Region. The committee has representation from municipalities, businesses, and the public. The terms and conditions of appointments are described in Ontario Regulation 288/07 under the Clean Water Act, 2006 (Act). Members of the CTC Source Protection Committee are appointed by the Credit Valley Source Protection Authority (SPA), as the lead SPA for the CTC Region.

Chris Gerrits has ably served as your municipal group representative on the CTC Source Protection Committee since 2016. However, on September 23, 2021, Mr. Gerrits’s five-year term will expire. To ensure continuity of representation, the municipalities of Dufferin and Simcoe Counties, the Towns of Orangeville and Mono, and the Townships of East Garafraxa, Amaranth, and Adjala-Tosorontio are requested to jointly nominate an elected official, staff member, or citizen representative that complies with the eligibility requirements as listed in Attachment 1. Note that under the Act reappointments are allowed, as there are no term limits for committee members. The rules of procedure of the Committee are available for review at ctcswp.ca.

Council resolutions are not required to accompany the nomination, but all municipalities must confirm that they agree with the nominated candidate. It is suggested that municipalities meet to discuss and make decisions with respect to their preferred representative. Our program manager, Janet Ivey, is available to attend meetings as a resource.

The term of this municipal member will be five (5) years from the date of appointment. The time commitment for committee members varies with annual work plans. As we are now implementing and updating the CTC Source Protection Plan, we anticipate the need for three to six half-day committee meetings per calendar year with periodic communications in-

between. Members are provided with a per diem of $200 and mileage as set through provincial guidelines and Credit Valley Conservation policies.

Please jointly submit the name or employment position of the person to represent your municipal group by Monday, August 16, 2021 to the attention of the program manager for the CTC Source Protection Region:

PLANNI POLICIES & PROVIS IONS:

Provincial Policy Statement (20201

The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development. The PPS encourages the protection of agricultural areas for long term use, with protection stressed on prime agricultural lands (2.3).

Permitted uses are limited to agricultural uses, agriculture-related uses, and on-farm diversified uses (2.3.3).

Lot creation in prime agricultural areas is permitted for a residence surplus to a farming operation as a result of farm consolidation, provided that (2.3.4.112.4.2.3):

1. The new tot witt be limited to a minimum size needed to accommodate the use and appropriate sewage and water services. 2. The planning authority ensures that new residential dwellings are prohibited on any remnant parcel of farmland created by the severance. The approach used to ensure that no new residential dwellings are permitted on the remnant parcel may be recommended by the Province, or based on municipal approaches which achieve the same obiective.

The proposed Consent is consistent with the PPS, subject to the attached Conditions

The PPS also provides protection for natural heritage features and hazards and ag ricultural operations.

Growth Plan (2019, consolidated Aug 2020)

The Growth Plan builds on the PPS together with other Provincial Plans to inform decision-making regarding growth management and environmental protection particular to the GGH. The Growth Plan provides high-level policy direction relating to the development of healthy, safe, and balanced communities.

The guiding principles of the Plan aim to support and enhance the long{erm viability and productivity of agriculture by protecting prime agricultural areas. An Agricultural System

Page 3 of 9 is mapped by the Province, which identifies the subject lands as prime agricultural lands, with Class 1-3 soils (4.2.6).

The retention of existing lots of record for agricultural uses is encouraged and the use of these lots for non-agricultural uses is discouraged (4.2.6.5).

As the proposed Consent would retain the existing agricultural uses and does not remove land from agricultural production operation, the application conforms to the policies and intent of the Growth Plan, subject to the attached conditions.

Niagara Escarpment Plan (20171

The purpose of the Niagara Escarpment Plan (NEP) is to provide for the maintenance and protection of the plan's areas, and to ensure that development is compatible with the natural environment. The subject lands are located outside of the plans area. The NEP does not apply.

Dufferin County Official Plan (2015)

The subject lands are designated as 'Countryside Area'on Schedule B (Community Structure and Land Use), which includes the'Agricultural Area'on Schedule C as a policy area.

The designation includes prime agricultural areas, identified for protection, and selected to strengthen the continued viability of the agricultural community. The designation recognizes agriculture as the primary activity and land use. The AgriculturalAreas are to be protected from fragmentation, development, and land uses unrelated to agriculture (4.2.1).

Mirroring the Provincial plans, all types, sizes, and intensities of agricultural uses and normal farm practices will be promoted and protected in accordance with provincial standards (4.2.2). ln order to avoid land use conflicts within the Agricultural Area designation, new land uses, including lot creation are required to comply with the Minimum Distance Separation Formulae, to ensure appropriate standards for separating incompatible uses from existing, new or expanding livestock facilities (4.2.3.b).

Lot creation with the Agricultural Areas is discussed under section 4.2.5 of the County's Official Plan. Key policies that apply includes the following:

a Lot creation in the Agricultural Area will generally be discouraged and only permitted in accordance with provincial policy and the policies of the local municipal official plan. The minimum lot area of both the retained and severed lots will be established in the local municipal official plans in accordance with the lot creation policies for the uses sef out below. (4.2.5.a).

Page 4 of 9 a For agriculture-related uses, the lot created will be limited to a minimum size needed to accommodate the use and appropriate sewage and water servlces (4.2.5.g).

The creation of new residential lots in the prime agricultural area shall not be permitted except in accordance with policy 4.2.5.c (4.2.5-g).

Where a previous or current farm acquisition has rendered a residence surplus to a farming operation, a consent may be permitted subiect to the followi ng condition s (4.2. 5.c) : i. the retained farm parcel will be zoned so as fo prohibit the construction of any additional dwellings; ii. the new lot will be limited to a minimum size needed to accommodate the use and appropriate sewage and water seruices; and iii. the surplus dwelling parcel will be subject to Minimum Distance Separation t setback provisions, and be zoned to recognize the nonfarm residential use, as required.

A Zoning By-law Amendment is required to prohibit the construction of any additional dwellings on the lands. This is further discussed in the following sections and implemented as a condition.

The County's Official Plan states that consents will not be granted if the application is contrary to the policies of this Plan or local municipal official plans (8.6.4). The conformity to the Township's Official Plan must be demonstrated. This is further discussed in the following section.

Official Plan The lands subject to the application are designated by the Township's Official Plan as 'Agricultural'on Schedule 41. There is a portion ot'Natural Area' designation on the Coe property.

Lands that are designated as Agricultural are considered prime agricultural areas, protected for long-term use for agriculture (5.9/6.1).

Permitted uses under the designation includes agricultural and related uses, secondary uses, and a single detached dwelling (6.1.3).

A residence surplus to a farming operation is defined by the Official Plan as an existing, habitabte farm residence that is rendered surplus as a result of farm consolidation (the acquisition of additionalfarm parcels to be operated as one farm operation).

Lot creation in prime agricultural areas may be permitted for a residence surplus to a farming operation as a result of a farm consolidation, provided that the Township ensures that new residential dwellings are prohibited on any vacant remnant parcel of farmland created by the severance. As recommend by the Province, the approach is used to ensure that no new residential dwellings are permitted on the remnant parcel or other approaches which achieve the same objective (5.9.c).

Page 5 of 9 New lots within the Agricultural designation are evaluated under section 6.1.7 of the Township's Official Plan. Key policies related to the application include the following:

. Existing agricultural parcels should not be subdivided into smaller parcels of land where the severance would reduce the longterm flexibility and viability of the existing farm unit.

. The severance of a surplus dwelling is dependant on the dwelling being habitable, the requirements of the Zoning By-law are met, and the lot area is kept to a minimum.

. Neither the dwelling on the severed nor retained part was originally created for the purpose of accommodating farm help nor created as an additional single dwelling unit or as a detached accessory dwelling unit.

. The farm operation severing the lot must have a base of operations elsewhere in the Township or in an immediately adjacent Township.

. New land uses including lot creation are required to comply with the minimum distance separation formulae (MDS).

. Such severances will be considered only on the basis of one per farm holding defined as fhe original farm lot of approximately 40 hectares (Township halflot) and where no more than one lot has been previously created by severance.

. Wherever possib/e and practical, remnant lots shall be required to be merged with adjacent parcels under the ownership of the same farming enterprise, including small, existing, vacant non-farm lots, to consolidate the farm into larger blocks, eliminate the non-farm residential lot and avoid the sterilization of the remnant parcel as a building lot.

. Where a remnant parcel is created, which cannot be merged with another holding under the ownership of the same farming enterprise, it shall be rezone4 as a condition of consent approval and prior to the issuance of the certificate of consent, so that it cannot, in future, be used for either farm- related or non-farm residential pu4poses. ln accordance with the policies of the Official Plan, the remnant (retained) parcel requires a Zoning By-law Amendment to prevent the lands from being used for either farm-related or non-farm residential purposes in the future. The rezoning of the lands is executed as a condition.

As previously discussed under the County's Official Plan, consents will not be granted if the application is contrary to the policies of Township's Official Plan. The policies for lot creation under section 6.1.7 are specific, that a consent may be considered only on the basis of one per farm holding defined as the original farm lot of approximately 40 hectares, and where no more than one (1) lot has been previously created by a severance. Both original Coe and Rutledge farm parcels contain two (2) existing lots that

Page 6 of 9 were previously severed. To maintain conformity to the Township's Official Plan, an Official Plan Amendment (OPA) application is required and was required as a condition of the Rutledge severance and proposed as a condition for the Coe severance.

Rutledqe The Rutledge lands contain 'Pond & Ftooded Lands'and 'sfreams Without Associated Buffers'according to Schedule 81, identified as Category One Natural Features. Category Two Natural Features are further shown on Schedule 82 of the Official Plan with the lands containing 'sfreams (With Assoclafed Buffers)'. The subject lands are identified by Schedule 83 of the Official Plan (Physical Constraints and Hazards) as containing 'Flood Plain & Low Lying Areas', 'Meander Belts', and a 'Moderate Slope (1 5- 30%)'.

The surplus farm dwelling lot is located outside of all identified natural features.

Coe The Coe lands contain 'Pond & Ftooded Lands' and 'Wetlands Without Associated Buffers'according to Schedule 81. lt contains 'Wetlands (With Associafed Buffers)' and 'sfreams (With Associated Buffers)' and 'Wooded Area' over 10 ha' according to Schedule 82 Natural Features Category One. On Schedule 83 of the Official Plan (physical Constraints and Hazards) the lands are identified as containing 'Flood Plain & Low Lying Areas', 'Meander Belts', and a 'Moderate S/ope (1 5-30%)'-

The Coe surplus farm dwelling lot does contain portions of the regulated wetland and associated buffers which extend into the south-east corner of the proposed severed lot.

The Township Official Plan provides protection to wetlands from development and site alterations. This portion of the property is zoned and designated to reflect the extent of the feature.

5.22 WETLANDS

Att wettands in the Township shatt be protected from the negative impacts of development or site alterations.

Negative impacts are all impacts that result in degradation that threatens the neittn and integrity of the wetland or its ecologicalfunctions due to single, multiple or successive development or site alteration activities.

Except as outlined in the foltowing section dealing specifically with significant wetlands, development adjacent to and within 30 m. of wetlands shall only be permitted if it can be demonstrated, through an ElS, that it will not result in any of the following:

i) /oss of wetland functions;

ii) subsequent demand for future development which will n e g ativ e ly affe ct ex i sti n g wetl a n d f u n cti o n s ;

iii) conftict with existing sife specific wetland management Page 7 of 9 practices; and,

iv) /oss of contiguous wetland area.

5.22.1 NT WETLANDS

Development and site alterations shall not be permitted in significant wetlands.

Development and site alteration shall not be permitted on adjacent lands to significant wetlands unless the ecological function of the adiacent lands has been evaluated, through an ElS, and it has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on the wetland or on its ecological functions, and addresses fhe criteria identified in Section 5.22. For all significant wetlands, a minimum 30 metre vegetation protection zone shall be established and maintained. Adiacent lands from significant wetlands are defined for the purposes of this section as /ands within 120 m. of the significant wetland.

A condition has been proposed in the draft conditions of consent for the Coe severance to require the zoning amendment to accurately reflect the extent of the wetland through the Environmental Protection (EP) zone and address any requirements identified through consultation with the NVCA.

Natural Heritaqe Svstem

Provincial mapping of the Natural Heritage System for the Growth Plan does not apply until it has been implemented in the County Official Plan. Until that time, the policies apply to areas that were mapped in the existing County and local plans.

Zoning By-law

Coe The Coe lands are zoned Countryside (A) and Environmental Protection (EP)

Rutledoe The Rutledge lands are zoned Countryside (A)

The Countryside (A) zone provides for a range of land uses and are required to have a minimum lot area of 2.O hectares and frontage of 100m.

The proposed retained farm parcel for both Rutledge and Coe would meet the minimum requirements of the Countryside (A) zone. A range of permitted uses would be permitted subject to meeting other applicable policies.

The submitted Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) applications are required to recognize the deficient lot size and area of the severed lots by proposing a'Rural Residential (RR)' zone, which would provide conformity for the lots while restricting the uses to those appropriate for smaller parcels within the rural area. ln accordance with the County Official Plan and Township's Official Plan, a Zoning By- law Amendment is also required for the retained parcels to prevent the lands from being used for either farm-related or non-farm residential purposes in the future. page g of 9 The Environmental Protection (EP) zoning on the Coe lands would extend into the proposed severed lot and has been addressed through the Official Plan section of this report. lt is recommended that the Environmental Protection (EP) zone be further delineated to accurately reflect the extent of the wetland feature.

Minimum Distance Separation The applications were reviewed with respect to Minimum Distance Separation. The proposed severances and associated zoning and Official Plan amendments do not introduce any new sources or receptors. There are no agricultural operations in proximity for which MDS calculations were prepared.

AGENCY & PU IC COMMENTS

Nottawasaga Valley Gonservation Authority (NVCA) The subject lands are partially regulated by the NVCA. Comments are anticipated and should be incorporated into the

County Official Plan Comments are anticipated from the County of Dufferin related to the County OP policies and access.

Recommendation Based on our review of the materials submitted, the proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020, the Countryside Area and Agricultural Area designations and the related policies in the Dufferin County Official Plan, provided that:

. A zoning by-law amendment be submitted to prevent any new dwellings to be constructed on the agricultural lands; . Consultation occur with the Township to ensure appropriate mitigation measures be implemented as recommended in the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's "Wildland Fire Assessment and Mitigation Standards" due to the presence ofhazardous forest types for wildland fire; . Confirmation be provided as to whether the woodlands located on and adjacent to the subject property are deemed significant; . Confirmation be provided as to whether an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required relative to the proximity of woodlands; . Consultation occur with the Township of Mulmur and the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) related to the potential impacts to source water because the subject properties are located within a source water protection area (Low Vulnerability Aquifer and Significant Groundwater Recharge Area)' Summary The Purpose of the Consent Application is to permit the severance of a surplus farm dwelling and excess agricultural buildings from the retained agricultural lot.

The documents received by WSP on December 17th,2020 include:

. Notice of Complete Application and Public Meeting.

The circulation documents were reviewed against the Province of Ontario's Agricultural Area mapping, the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 and the Dufferin County Official Plan.

Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 (PPS) and Province of Ontario's Agricultural Area and Natural Heritage Area Mapping As a result of Growth Plan2019, the Province's Agricultural Area and Natural Heritage mapping must be studied and implemented into the County's Official Plan before it can be applied at a local level. However, as it relates to land use designations, the mapping should continue to be used as a guide to determine if the subject property is identified as agriculturally sensitive or with identified Natural Heritage features, should the County or local Official Plans not reflect current mapping.

Under Ontario's Agricultural Area mapping, the subject property is located within Prime Agricultural Lands. Per Section 2.3 ofthe PPS, Prime Agricultural Areas shall be protected for the long-term use of agriculture. Permitted uses and activities in these areas are restricted to agricultural uses, agriculture-related uses and on-farm diversified uses.

Policy 2.3.4.1(a) directs that lots created for agricultural uses must be a size appropriate for the type of agricultural uses common in the area and must be sufficiently large to maintain flexibility for future changes in the type or size of agricultural operations.

Per Policy 2.3.4.3,the creation of new residential lots in Prime Agricultural Areas shall not be permitted, except in accordance with policy 2.3.4.1(c) which relates to an existing residence surplus to a farming operation. Policy 2.3.4.1(c) states that where previous or current farm acquisition has rendered a residence surplus to a farming operation, a consent may be permitted subject to the following conditions:

1. the new lot will be limited to a minimum size needed to accommodate the use and appropriate sewage and water services; and

2. the planning authority ensures that new residential dwellings are prohibited on any remnant parcel offarmland created by the severance. The approach used to ensure that no new residential dwellings are permitted on the remnant parcel may be recommended by the Province, or based on municipal approaches which achieve the same objective. Under Ontario's Natural Heritage Area mapping, the subject property contains and is adjacent to woodlands. Dufferin County Official Plan (2017) The subject property is designated as Countryside Area as shown under Schedule B (Community Structure and Land Use) of the County Official Plan. Part of the subject property is further designated as Agricultural Area under Schedule C (Agricultural Area and Rural Lands). The Agricultural Area designation consists primarily of prime agricultural lands, which are in accordance with Provincial policies. The County Official Plan requires that lands within these areas will be protected for agricultural uses, agriculture-related uses, and on-farm diversified uses, unless appropriate justification is provided for altemative uses. pase2 \\\

Per Policy 4.2.2(h), new land uses will comply with the Minimum Distance Separation Formulae, as implemented through the applicable local municipal planning documents. Policy 4.2.3(b) states that in order to avoid land use conflicts within the Agricultural Area designation, new land uses will comply with the MDS formulae, to ensure appropriate standards for separating incompatible uses from existing, new or expanding livestock facilities. The MDS formulae will be implemented through the applicable local municipal planning documents.

Per section 4.2.5(g), the creation of new residential lots in the prime agricultural area shall not be permitted except in accordance with policy 4.2.5(c), which states that where a previous or current farm acquisition has rendered a residence surplus to a farming operation, a consent may be permitted subject to the following conditions:

. the retained farm parcel will be zoned so as to prohibit the construction of any additional dwellings; . the new lot will be limited to a minimum size needed to accommodate the use and appropriate sewage and water services; and, . the surplus dwelling parcel will be subject to Minimum Distance Separation I setback provisions and be zoned to recognize the non-farm residential use, as required.

Schedule E (Natural Heritage Features) identifies woodlands located on and adjacent to the subject property. Given the presence of woodlands, further consultation with the Township of Mulmur and the NVCA should be undertaken to determine whether the woodlands are deemed significant. Section 5.3.4 of the County Official Plan directs that development and site alteration adjacent to significant woodlands is not permitted unless it has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or their ecological functions through preparation ofan EIS.

The subject property is located on a County road and as such County Public Works should provide any comments regarding access.

Under Appendix 2 (Source Water Protection) the subject properties are located within a source water protection area (Low Vulnerability Aquifer and Significant Groundwater Recharge Area). Policy 5.4.2@) states that prior to the approval of development applications within designated vulnerable areas, the proponents shall demonstrate to the satisfaction ofthe County, local municipality, Conservation Authority and Province, where necessary, that the quality and quantity of municipal drinking water sources will not be negatively impacted. It is anticipated that the NVCA will provide further review and comments with respect to the requirements for Source Water Protection as it relates to the changes proposed on the subject properties.

Page 3 \\\

Under Appendix 3 (Potential Forest Hazard Classification for Wildland Fire) the subject property has forest areas that are identified as Extreme Risk of wildland fire. Development is to be directed to areas outside of lands that are unsafe for development due to the presence of hazardous forest types for wildland fire. Potential forest hazard classifications for wildland fire identified as high to extreme risk for wildland fire are illustrated on Appendix 3. Appendix 3 is provided for information purposes and is intended to provide a screening tool for identifying areas at risk for wildland fire. The Dufferin County Official Plan encourages that appropriate mitigation measures be implemented as recommended in the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's "Wildland Fire Assessment and Mitigation Standards".

Recommendation Based on our review of the materials submitted, the proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020, the Countryside Area and Agricultural Area designations and the related policies in the Dufferin County Official Plan, provided that:

. A zoning by-law amendment be submitted to prevent any new dwellings to be constructed on the agricultural lands; . Consultation occur with the Township to ensure appropriate mitigation measures be implemented as recommended in the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's "Wildland Fire Assessment and Mitigation Standards" due to the presence ofhazardous forest types for wildland fire; . Confirmation be provided as to whether the woodlands located on and adjacent to the subject properly are deemed significant; . Confirmation be provided as to whether an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required relative to the proximity of woodlands; . Consultation occur with the Township of Mulmur and the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority G\IVCA) related to the potential impacts to source water because the subject properties are located within a source water protection area (Low Vulnerability Aquifer and Significant Groundwater Recharge Area).

Hi Tracey,

Wee have mentioned ine our previous comments that our only significant recommendation was that the remnant agricultural parcel be zoned to prevent a new dwelling from being constructed. If other commenting agencies are satisfied that there will be no negative impacts as a result of this application then the applications appear to be complete.

We will review the OPA and recommend a decision when/if that is adopted by the Township and wee do not anticipate any concerns with the applications.

Please see thee attached comments (rom Rita.e I believe you have received comments from County Public Works (Attached in this email).

Hi Kristine

I do apologize for the delay in getting back to you on this. Overall I have no issues. However, I do note that there one portion of the severed surplus dwelling lot identified as an unevaluated wetland/wood lot feature at the southwest corner.

The NVCA will be asking for this portion to be restrictively zoned for environmental protection as part of your concurrent ZBA. This will address PPS policies where development is prohibited within wetland/woodlot features.

I note that the Public Notice for the applications went out today so my formal comments will reflect the above.

Amy, We have applied for a surplus farm dwelling lot for Stan Coe. Tracey called me earlier in the week regarding natural heritage features.

The proposal is to sever an existing dwelling with private services, and to basically follows the physical boundaries of the agricultural field.

Do you anticipate any environmental work being completed to support the consent? Client would be willing to have area on severed parcel zoned for no development or hazard. The retained parcel will be zoned for no new residential uses as part of the surplus farm dwelling policies,
