At their meeting of October 20, 2020 Norfolk County Council approved Resolution No. 6 of the Council- In-Committee meeting of October 13, 2020 which reads as follows:

Res. 6

WHEREAS illicit cannabis grow operations are a significant issue in many municipalities in Ontario;

P a g e | 2

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,

THAT the Mayor issue a letter to the Prime Minister of Canada, Premier of Ontario, Health Canada and the Ontario Provincial Police;

AND THAT Norfolk County Council request that solutions to the current crisis which may include but are not limited to; better regulation and tracking of the prescription of cannabis in Canada by doctors, increased regulatory and enforcement presence by Health Canada, increased OPP resources, increased funding to municipalities to deal with complaints and By-Law issues generated by illicit cannabis grow operations;

AND FURTHER THAT a copy of the submission by Debbie France be attached to the Mayor’s letter.

Your attention to this important issue is appreciated.

Yours Truly,

Mayor Kristal Chopp Norfolk County

Resolution Number: 2020-14 Moved by: Councillor Nancy Demarest Seconded by: Councill Bruce Banbury

“That Whereas unlicensed and unmonitored cannabis grow operations have increasingly become a problem in communities in Ontario as well as across the Country; and,

Whereas these operations are allowed to establish with little or no consultation with the local community and municipalities are often only made aware of their existence after conflicts arise with neighboring land owners; and,

BE IT RESOLVED that the Council of the Township of Blandford-Blenheim urges the Federal Government to amend the legislation under which these facilities operate to ensure the safety and rights of the local communities in which they are situated are respected; and,

That this resolution be forwarded to the Federal Minister of Health, Federal Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Federal Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, Oxford MP, Oxford MPP, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and all municipalities in Ontario.”

TOWNSHIP OF BLANDFORD-BLENHEIM ZONING BY-LAW NO. 1360-2002:

Existing Zoning: Residential Type 1 Zone (R1)

Proposed Zoning: Special Residential Type 2 Zone (R2-sp)

PROPOSAL:

The application for zone change proposes to rezone the subject property from ‘Residential Type 1 Zone (R1)’ to ‘Special Residential Type 2 Zone (R2-sp)’ to permit a converted dwelling in the form of a basement unit within an existing single detached dwelling.

Upon further review of the subject application, Township staff noted that a special provision is required to permit a reduction in the minimum parking space width from 3.0 m (9.8 ft.) to 2.82 m (9.2 ft.) and a reduction in the minimum parking space depth from 5.5 m (18.0 ft) to 5.36 m (17.6 ft.) for the two (2) parking spaces in the garage. That said, Planning Staff are of the opinion that further circulation of the application is not warranted as the intent of the zone change and scope of the development are being maintained.

To the south and west of the subject property are residential uses while to the east and the north are agricultural uses.

Application Review

PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT:

The 2020 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development. Under Section 3 of the Planning Act, where a municipality is exercising its authority affecting a planning matter, such decisions “shall be consistent with” all policy statements issued under the Act.

Section 1.1.1 states that healthy, liveable and safe communities are sustained by promoting efficient development and land use patterns which sustain the financial well-being of the Province

Page 2 of 6 Report No: CP 2020-305 COMMUNITY PLANNING Council Date: November 18, 2020

and municipalities over the long term and cost-effective development patterns and standards to minimize land consumption and servicing costs.

Section 1.1.3.2 directs that settlement areas shall be the focus of growth and development, and their vitality and regeneration shall be promoted. Furthermore, land use patterns within settlement areas shall be based on densities and a mix of land uses which efficiently use land, resources, existing infrastructure and public service facilities. A range of uses and opportunities for intensification and redevelopment should also be promoted where it can be accommodated in settlement areas.

Section 1.1.3.3 also directs that planning authorities shall identify appropriate locations and promote opportunities for intensification and redevelopment where this can be accommodated taking into account existing building stock or areas, including brownfield sites, and the availability of suitable existing or planned infrastructure and public service facilities required to accommodate projected needs.

Further, according to Section 1.4.3, planning authorities shall provide for an appropriate mix of housing types and densities to meet projected requirements of current and future residents of the regional market area by:

• establishing and implementing minimum targets for the provision of housing which is affordable to low and moderate income households; • permitting and facilitating all forms of housing required to meet the social, health and well-being requirements of current and future residents, including special needs requirements; • permitting and facilitating all types of residential intensification, including additional residential units, and redevelopment; • directing the development of new housing towards locations where appropriate levels of infrastructure and public service facilities are or will be available to support current and projected needs; • promoting densities for new housing which efficiently use land, resources, infrastructure and public service facilities, and support the use of active transportation and transit areas where it exists or is to be developed; • requiring transit-supportive development and prioritizing intensification in proximity to transit, including corridors and stations; and, • establishing development standards for residential intensification, redevelopment and new residential development which minimize the cost of housing and facilitate compact form while maintaining appropriate levels of public health and safety.

OFFICIAL PLAN:

The subject lands are located within the Village of Drumbo, which is identified as a ‘Serviced Village’ according to the Settlement Strategy Plan for the County of Oxford. The lands are also designated ‘Low Density Residential’ according to Schedule B-3, Village of Drumbo Land Use Plan.

As per Section 6.2.2, low density residential areas are lands that are primarily developed, or planned, for a variety of low-rise, low density housing forms consisting of single detached, semi- detached, duplexes, converted dwellings and street-fronting townhouses.

Page 3 of 6 Report No: CP 2020-305 COMMUNITY PLANNING Council Date: November 18, 2020

According to Section 6.2.2.2, Council may zone areas within Low Density Residential areas of the Serviced Villages to permit detached, semi-detached, duplex and townhouse dwellings to be converted into two residential units.

The Zoning By-Law may limit the number of units that may be contained in a converted dwelling and specify minimum lot or dwelling size requirements for conversion. To maintain the external character of the dwelling the Zoning By-Law may also limit the extent of structural additions or changes that would be permitted.

ZONING BY-LAW:

The subject property is currently zoned ‘Residential Type 1 Zone (R1)’ according to the Township Zoning By-law. The ‘R1’ zone permits a single detached dwelling and requires a minimum lot area of 450 m2 (4,844 ft2), frontage of 15 m (49.2 ft), and depth of 30 m (98.4 ft). Minimum front and rear yard depths of 7.5 m (24.6 ft) and interior side yard widths 1.5 m (4.9 ft) are also required.

The applicants have requested to rezone the property ‘Residential Type 2 Zone (R2)’ to facilitate the conversion of the existing single detached dwelling to a converted dwelling containing two dwelling units. The ‘R2’ zone requires a minimum lot area of 600 m2 (6,458.5 ft2), frontage of 18 m (59 ft), depth of 30 m (98.4 ft), as well as minimum front and rear yard depths of 7.5 m (24.6 ft) and interior side yard widths of 1.5 m (4.9 ft), for a converted dwelling. In addition, two parking spaces are required for each unit, for a total of four spaces.

It would appear that special provisions are required to recognize the existing frontage of 16 m (52.4 ft). It would also appear that the remaining provisions of the ‘R2’ zone will be maintained.

A total of two parking spaces can be provided in the existing driveway while meeting the required 5.5 m (18 ft.) depth and 2.7 m (8.9 ft.) width. The proposal plans to have two parking spaces within the attached garage. When adjacent to a wall, a parking space requires a width of 3 m (9.8 ft.). The existing garage is 5.66 m (18.6 ft.) wide and is not able to accommodate two 3 m (9.8 ft.) wide spaces side-by-side.

AGENCY COMMENTS:

The application for zone change was circulated to various agencies considered to have an interest in the proposal.

The Township Chief Building Official has indicated that a Building Permit is required for the addition of the basement unit.

The Township Drainage Superintendent, Township Director of Public Works, Oxford County Public Works Department, and Township Director of Protective Services indicated no concerns with the proposal.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION:

Notice of complete application and notice of public meeting regarding the application were circulated in accordance with the Planning Act. To date, one (1) letter of concern has been

Page 4 of 6 Report No: CP 2020-305 COMMUNITY PLANNING Council Date: November 18, 2020 received with concerns of on-street parking and what recourse of action residents have should it become an issue. The full letter is attached to the end of this report for Council’s consideration.

Planning Analysis

The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject property to facilitate the conversion of the existing single detached dwelling to a converted dwelling containing two dwelling units.

The Planning Act provides, through Section 16(3), that Official Plans shall contain policies authorizing additional residential units by permitting the use of two residential units within a detached dwelling, semi-detached dwelling or a rowhouse. Further, O.Reg 299/19 states that an additional residential unit shall have one (1) parking space and that a parking space provided for the sole use of an occupant for either unit may be located in tandem.

It is the opinion of Staff that the proposal is consistent with the policies of Sections 1.1.3.2, 1.1.3.3 and 1.4.3 of the PPS. The proposed development promotes intensification and provides a mix of housing types to accommodate current and future residents of the regional market area. The development is also considered to be an efficient use of lands, municipal services and infrastructure within a designated settlement area.

The proposed converted dwelling is permitted in the Low Density Residential designation, and is supported by the policies of Section 6.2.2.2 of the County Official Plan.

The subject property is located within an area consisting of predominately single detached dwellings. As no exterior changes are proposed to the existing dwelling, Staff are also satisfied that the character, spacing and setbacks of the existing dwelling will continue to be in keeping with the characteristics of the surrounding residential area. Should the Zone Change Application be approved, Staff would include a provision in the Amending By-Law which would prohibit a semi-detached dwelling on the property.

In addition, sufficient area will continue to be provided in the front yard to accommodate off-street parking requirements without impacting sightlines along Mechanic Street, and adequate area will be available for amenity space. The request to reduce the depth and width of the parking spaces inside the garage to 2.82 m (9.2 ft.) wide and 5.36 m (17.6 ft.) deep is minor in Staff’s opinion and will still provide sufficient space to satisfy the off-street parking requirements.

As noted, special provisions are required to recognize the existing frontage of 16 m (52.4 ft) in addition to the reduced parking space width/depth request. The minimum frontage provision is intended to ensure lots are sufficiently large enough to provide an adequately sized building envelope that maintains adequate setbacks to provide access to the rear yard, and sufficient area to conduct normal property maintenance. These provisions are also intended to ensure adequate area is provided for parking, landscaping, drainage and private amenity space. The creation of an additional dwelling unit within the existing dwelling on an existing residential lot is not expected to compromise any of these objectives.

In light of the foregoing, Planning staff are satisfied that the proposal is consistent with the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement and meets the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan. As such, Staff are satisfied that the application can be given favourable consideration.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the Council of the Township of Blandford-Blenheim approve the zone change application submitted by Gerrard’s Design & Drafting Inc. on behalf of Geoff and Gina Cornish whereby the lands described as Plan M151 Part Lot 13 and 14 (Drumbo), Township of Blandford-Blenheim, are to be rezoned from ‘Residential Type 1 Zone (R1)’ to ‘Special Residential Type 2 Zone (R2-3)’ to permit a converted dwelling.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or on clicking links from unknown senders. Please accept this e‐mail regarding the above‐noted re‐zoning application. Due to work commitments and concerns about being in a public place RE: COVID, I prefer not to appear in person. Thank you for having this alternate arrangement available.

First of all, I would like to say that it’s great that the homeowners are going through the proper process. Most people would just renovate without regard to the rules. So kudos.

My only concern is to ensure there is adequate provision for vehicle parking. Parking on the street hinders garbage/recycling collection and becomes a safety issue during winter when snow removal operations are necessary. What happens if the number of vehicles for that residence exceeds the space in the driveway? I do not want to see the street being used as a permanent parking spot. Once approval is granted for a legal‐conforming apartment, what recourse of action is there in the event that on‐street parking becomes an issue?

You may contact me via e‐mail or phone if you wish to discuss further or require more information.

Whatever measure is used to determine the annual cost of living increase to wages, it is important to ensure that employees’ wages keep up with inflation and that the Township stays competitive with other municipalities. Failing to do could result in the loss of employees to neighbouring municipalities and also large increases when pay equity/market studies are done. Using the provincial CPI August to August on a consistent basis, ensures that the Township stays competitive with other municipalities.

Due to COVID-19, some in our community are experiencing financial hardship. All levels of government are doing what they can to assist those at this time. Keeping the cost of living increase at this minimal level, will aid in keeping our levy increase at a manageable level as well.

Report TR-20-19 - 3 - November 18, 2020

Financial Considerations:

An increase of 0.1% to all Township wages represents an increase of approximately $1,750 in wages and $325 in benefits for a total of $2,075 in the overall budget for 2021.

Agenda Item

To: Members of Council From: Rodger Mordue, CAO/Clerk

Reviewed By: Department Heads Date: November 10, 2020 Council Subject: Compressed work Week November 18, 2020 Meeting Date: Report #: CAO-20-17

Recommendation:

That Report CAO-20-17 be received; and,

That a modified work week schedule be adopted beginning January 2, 2021

Background:

Township staff regularly monitor practices adopted in other municipalities in order to keep abreast of emerging trends and best practices. One trend that has been adopted by a few municipalities is that of a compressed or four-day work week.

Analysis/Discussion:

The four-day work week is not a new concept. There’s a great deal of literature on this matter and case studies are readily available for review on the internet. A number of municipalities have some sort of flex time arrangement with their employees. Locally the Township of Zorra adopted a four-day work week in September of this year. From all accounts the arrangement in Zorra is working well.

Even within Blandford-Blenheim flex time arrangements are currently utilized. In the summer months staff of the Public Works Department work 10-hour days Monday to Thursday. Community Services operates 7 days a week so staff in that department are split into 4-day shifts staggered throughout the week. For the full-time staff who work out of the administration office it is being recommended that a four-day work week be implemented. Here’s how it would work:

The office workforce would be split into two teams. Team A would work Monday – Thursday and Team B would work Tuesday to Friday. The employees work week would still consist of 35 hours as each work day would be 8.75 hours long. Work hours would be 8:00 am to 5:00 pm

with a half hour off for lunch. Staff would also need to agree to forego their 15-minute afternoon break in order to bring the work day to 8.75 hours. Every 4 months the teams would switch their scheduled day off in the week.

With employees working longer days the municipal office hours would be extended by an hour from 8;30 – 4:30 to 8:00 – 5:00. The public would then have access to the office an additional 5 hours per week (12.5% increase) with no additional cost to the municipality.

The City of Vancouver initiated a compressed work week similar to what is being proposed for Blandford-Blenheim. In a report to Vancouver City Council a number of pros and cons of a compressed work week were identified. Listed below are those points along with Blandford- Blenheim staff comments:

Benefits:

1. Assisting is staff recruitment and retention.

Blandford-Blenheim has not had an issue with staff retention or recruitment. Revising existing personnel policies and implementing new progressive policies will help keep staff at Blandford-Blenheim. When it comes to recruitment, since sometimes we may not be able to offer the wages that larger municipalities do, we will be able to offer this alternate work arrangement. This would be an advantage we can use to attract the best possible talent.

2. A positive impact on employee morale and the contribution the compressed work week made in assisting employees to balance work and family lives.

Compressed work weeks generally lead to higher employee satisfaction and improved work/life balance and is noted in most of the studies. These studies also show that productivity is higher in workplaces that have instituted a compressed work week.

3. Initial reduction in absenteeism.

Employees would be encouraged to book appointments on scheduled days off during the week and this should lead to a reduction in personal time taken.

4. Expansion of Municipal office hours.

The Township office hours would increase by 12.5% providing an extra 5 hours of public access per week with no additional cost to the taxpayer.

5. Longer time blocks for project work and fewer start up and shut down times at the beginning and end of the day.

Staff concur with this point.

Concerns:

1. Delays in providing customer service, both internal and external, in situations where one person is accountable for an issue or project and others are unable to respond.

With staff cross-trained and working in teams this can be addressed.

2. Difficulties in communicating with staff within and between department.

This may be an issue in larger organizations but given the Township’s size, this would not be an issue. We have excellent interdepartmental communication.

3. Meetings invariably have to be scheduled on three of the five working days in order to ensure everyone is able to attend.

Our current practice is to schedule meetings on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday now anyway so this would not be an issue.

4. Unanticipated costs for employee leaves such as sick leave or compassionate leave.

In Blandford-Blenheim work absence rates are very low but costs would increase nominally by virtue of the concern raised in this point. For example, a sick day would be paid out at 75% of 8.75 hours instead of 7 hours.

5. Criticism from citizens and businesses that Council has granted its employees a compressed work week, whereas most people and businesses work five-days per week and expect their government counterparts to do so also.

This point is negated by the fact that the Municipal Office is providing and extra 5 hours of service per week at no additional cost to the taxpayer.

As stated above, the Public works Department currently works a 4-day week over the summer months May to September. It is suggested that these hours be extended to include the months of April to October. Due to winter maintenance operations it is not feasible to extend the four- day work week any further for this department.

Also as stated above, employees in the Community Services Department currently work 8 shifts in a two-week period so they already operate on a compressed work week.

Agenda Item

To: Members of Council From: Rodger Mordue, CAO/Clerk Rick Richardson, Director of Reviewed By: Date: November 12, 2020 Protective Services Council Subject: Service animals November 18, 2020 Meeting Date: Report #: CAO-20-18

Recommendation:

That Report CAO-20-18 be received; and,

Be it Resolved That Council permit the keeping of these animals on the property.

Background:

A complaint was received by the Township regarding the keeping of livestock on a residentially zoned property in the Township. On October 28, 2020 the Township’s contracted By-law Enforcement Officer visited the site and issued a violation notice pursuant to the Township’s Zoning By-Law 1360-2002 as amended. The notice gave the individual 14 days to remove the pig and chickens.

On November 4, 2020 Edward Stahlbaum appeared as a delegation before Council to appeal the violation notice.

Analysis/Discussion:

On November 4, 2020 Edward Stahlbaum appeared before Council to appeal his October 28, 2020 violation notice. At the meeting a document was provided by Mr. Stahlbaum from a medical practitioner supporting his claim that the animals are service animals.

In consideration of the document provided it is staff’s opinion that these are service animals and should be allowed to remain.
