Recommendation: That this report be received as information.
Emergency Response: Medical Assist 5 MVA 2 Fire 2 Spills 1 Alarm 4 TOTAL 14
The fire department responded to their first fire calls in February. One was a chimney fire and the other a burnt snow machine. The main call for February was the lumber truck roll over on Highway 118 that consumed 103 man hours. One fire fighter has resigned due to personal commitments (Brad Robinson) so we will be looking at the applications on hand to see if an ad needs to be put out for new members.
Inspections: Two inspections were preformed upon request and one presentation on fire prevention was done.
Budget items: Thanks to Council and Barbara in particular for a streamline process to the budget this year.
Other items: There are two court cases in Ontario at the present that will have impact on the fire service of Ontario. The first is the case with the Meaford Fire Department and the other is the Ministry of Labor charges against the Village of Point Edward.
Attachments: Notice of Village of Point Edward being fined $75,000 after worker killed.

Village of Point Edward Fined $75,000 After Worker Killed
March 6, 2012
Sarnia, ON - The Corporation of the Village of Point Edward was fined $75,000 today for a violation of the Occupational Health and Safety Act after a worker was killed.
On January 30, 2010, members of the village's paid volunteer fire department were participating in ice water rescue training. After doing swimming and floating exercises, the workers were instructed to swim out to a moving sheet of ice, climb it, and ride it down the lake. Some of them could not climb the ice floe and attempted to swim back to shore. One worker, unable to climb onto shore, was pushed by the ice floe under its surface. The worker was trapped under the ice floe for about four minutes. The worker was removed but died due to being trapped in the cold water.
A Ministry of Labour investigation determined that although there was rescue equipment in one of the fire trucks parked on shore during the exercise, there was no equipment readily available to pull the worker onto shore.
The Corporation of the Village of Point Edward pleaded guilty as an employer to failing to take the reasonable precaution of ensuring that adequate rescue equipment was available for the ice water rescue training exercise.
A related charge against an individual is still before the courts and is scheduled for a trial in May.
The fine was imposed by Justice Deborah Austin. In addition to the fine, the court imposed a 25-per-cent victim fine surcharge, as required by the Provincial Offences Act. The surcharge is credited to a special provincial government fund to assist victims of crime.

Re: Roads Status Update
Recommendation: For informational purposes.
Summary: Winter maintenance operations continued daily throughout February consisting mainly of snow removal from the downtown area. The sudden onset warm weather has allowed the Roads Department to get a jump on spring maintenance, primarily sweeping and pothole patching.
A municipal pickup truck was struck by a coach bus carrying students on the Barry Line on February 29. It was a low speed impact that did not incur any injuries. At the time of impact the municipal truck was stopped on the road and was tight against a snow bank. The vehicle sustained minor damage to the left side. The municipality was not at fault and it is not known if any charges were laid against the driver of the bus.
An internal posting for an Equipment Operator was awarded to Tim Smith for a trial period of 2 months. During this period the department will be left without a mechanic. Minor repairs will still be completed by operators and major repairs will be outsourced. The posting is to fill a vacancy due to retirement.
Financial Implications: Unknown
Attachments: None
Roads Department Update. Page 60 of 364 Brian Nicholson Director of Public Works Municipality of Dysart et al
On behalf of the Haliburton Curling Club I wanted to thank you and your staff who came to our assistance yesterday.
On Wednesday of this week, the weather had turned very mild and there was a substantive melt of snow and ice. The Haliburton Curling Club was supporting the Rotary Club of Haliburton that day with a fund raising bonspiel when the melt water started to pour through the outside walls of the curling sheets and flood the ice. We did our best to contain the water and were able to complete the bonspiel.
The next day, Brian Murison, and our ice staff checked out the source of the problems and found a substantive build up of snow, ice and melt water especially between the arena and the curling rink. We have another fund raising bonspiel this weekend (Curl for the Cure) in support of the Haliburton Health Foundation and do not want to reschedule the event after all of the planning that has been put into the event.
Brian Murison got in touch with you, and your staff responded quickly and most helpfully. The equipment removed the build up of ice and snow over the drain and the steaming freed up the ice that was preventing the run-off to happen. We greatly appreciate how quickly your staff responded and how helpful they were to help address the situation.
Although we have a substantive issue on the one sheet of ice still to address, we hope both of our efforts and some colder weather will see us through the weekend and the next couple of weeks until curling finishes for this season.
Today, when it is so easy to criticize by sending an e-mail or letter to the editor; we wanted to convey our thanks and appreciation for your efforts. Please pass that message on to the workers involved who came to our rescue.

Re: Tender Results
Recommendation: Be it resolved that Council accepts the tender from Miller Paving for Surface Treatment and Slurry Seal for $659,185.50 including HST.
Be it resolved that Council accepts the tender from McAsphalt Industries Limited for the supply of RS-1 Emulsion at .6787 cents per litre.
Be it resolved that Council accept the tender from Black and MacDonald for the supply and installation of electric motors with soft starts at the Dysart Arena in the amount of $15,982.72 including HST.
Background: At the end of February three tenders were issued, one for the supply and installation of electric motors with soft starts, one for double surface treatment and slurry seal and one for the supply of RS-1 emulsion.
The electric motor tender was sent to two service providers and advertised locally which saw three bidders submit tenders.
The double surface treatment was done by invitation and sent to five companies with four submitting tenders.
The RS-1 emulsion was done by invitation and sent to four companies with only one submitting a tender.
Summary: Electric Motor Tender – $2,100 under budget
Slurry Seal - $.15/square meter under budget
Double Surface Treatment - $.15/ square meter under budget
Financial Implications: None – At this stage of the construction I would consider us to be on budget.
Attachments: None

Re: Dysart et al Speed Limits
Recommendation: Be it resolved that Council directs staff to repeal all existing speed by-laws and consolidate them into one speed by-law.
Background: The Municipality currently has twelve (12) by-laws regarding speed limits. The Highway Traffic Act stipulates that we may change the rate of speed by by-law.
Municipal roadways in the Municipality service many different and often challenging types of typography with more people using alternate modes of transportation such as bicycles and walking. It is for these reasons that the municipality should be ensuring that people are driving at a speed that offers safe travel for all. Speed is also one of the factors that is considered in the Municipal Minimum Maintenance Standards.
Summary: Staff to prepare a by-law for Schedule “A” for next Council meeting.
Financial Implications: Ongoing Signage enhancement
Attachments: Schedule “A”

Re: Dumping of Outhouse Sewage
Recommendation: Be it resolved that Council authorizes Shepherd Environmental Service to dispose of raw sewage from portable outhouses located in the Municipality of Dysart et al into the sewage system at a cost of fifty five ($55.00) per 1000 gallons. The location where it is to be dumped is to be determined by the Municipal Contractor responsible for the operation and maintenance of the sewage plant.
Background: Shepherd Environmental Services has in the past taken sewage removed from portable outhouse back to the City of Kawartha Lakes for processing. The City of Kawartha Lakes will no longer allow this contractor to bring sewage to their facility from outside their area. This sewage cannot be spread directly onto fields as it has to be processed first.
The contractor estimates that they service between 30 and 40 toilets per year for an estimated volume of 300 gallons per week over the summer months.
Financial Implications: None

February 12, 2012 Dear Ms. McKelvey,
You may be aware that Ontario, along with many other jurisdictions, is being hit hard by the imported pest Emerald Ash Borer, Agrilus plannipennis. It has already killed tens of thousands of ash trees. The Municipal Arborists and Urban Foresters, a Committee of the International Society of Arboriculture and the Ontario Urban Forest Council are working to raise awareness about EAB and the environmental and economic fallout.
Public property owners, homeowners, businesses, institutions, and utilities will have to deal with thousands of ash trees before they become a liability and bear the cost of implementing programs to deal with this terrible loss to our urban forest.
Effective EAB programs involve the following: Identifying ash trees, size and locations (an inventory) Monitoring the distribution of the pest within local areas Identifying and treating trees worthy of preservation Tree removal on public and private lands, and disposal of wood waste Replanting replacement trees.
Currently, neither the Federal nor Provincial Governments are providing sufficient financial/management support to municipalities for implementation of any part of an EAB program. Therefore, we have prepared the attached proclamation calling for A FEDERAL and PROVINCIAL ROLE IN URBAN FORESTRY.
Attached is a proclamation we are sending to Clerks across Ontario. We are seeking your Council's endorsement of this proclamation, if they have not done so already, and would ask that you present this to your respective Council for consideration. Thank you for your assistance in bringing this to your Council's attention. If you have any questions, please contact me at 519-362-9469

Re: Status Report Municipal Cultural Plan
Recommendation: that Council approved the "Key Findings and Directions Report" and authorizes staff to post it to the Municipal website for public view.
Background: In June 2011, the Municipality received funding from the Ministry of Tourism and Culture to prepare a municipal cultural plan. The municipal cultural plan is an economic development plan. It is a tool that will leverage the arts and cultural resources of the community and integrate this potential into the strategic, land use, cultural, economic and operation planning systems of the Municipality. The work plan (see attached) sets out a planning process that will engage community partners and stakeholders to prepare the plan. The following work has been completed: A link has been set up on the home page of the municipal website to provide information on the project. A media release was sent to the local newspapers and radio stations on the week of November 21st. The consultants conducted personal interviews with key stakeholders on November 17th and 18th, 2011. A community survey has been completed. In total, 173 responses were received. A community visioning session was held on January 19th, 2012. Fifty people participated. The "Key Findings and Directions Report" has been prepared for Council's review at the March 26th council meeting. The following work is still to be completed: The consultant will write the draft plan.
MPC: Status Report Page 1 of 2

Report. 1. Dysart Municipal Cultural Plan, Key Findings and Directions
1 Executive Summary The United Townships of Dysart, Dudley, Harcourt, Guilford, Harburn, Bruton, Havelock, Eyre and Clyde (hereafter referred to as the Municipality of Dysart et al) views a municipal cultural plan as an effective tool to leverage the cultural resources of the community and to support community decisions, initiatives, and investment in infrastructure. The cultural plan developed will reflect that art and culture enriches the lives of residents and visitors, and supports and enhances community life and economic development initiatives. The purpose of this Summary Findings and Key Directions report is to summarize and synthesize findings from the phases of work completed to date and to define a framework and set of Strategic Directions to guide the preparation of the draft municipal cultural plan. This report is structured in the following sections: . Planning Context – reviews relevant Municipal and County planning documents and strategies as well as providing a short demographic portrait of the community to establish the planning context within which the municipal cultural plan is being developed; . Creative Cultural Sector Analysis – examines the local cultural economy from the standpoint of creative cultural occupations and industries or enterprises within the context of the broader municipal economy; . Community Consultation – summarizes findings and results from an extensive community engagement process including interviews, a community survey, and a community visioning session; more than 200 residents and stakeholders were involved in this consultation process; .

Key Directions – the final section of the report identifies a framework of themes and directions that will guide the drafting of the final municipal cultural plan.
Page 160 of 364 The Planning Context A number of themes relevant to the municipal cultural plan emerged from the analysis of relevant Municipal and County of Haliburton plans and documents. . Many plans and strategies exist that recognize the importance of cultural resources and activities. Responsibility for implementing plans and policies related to cultural development require effective partnerships between the

Report. 1. Dysart Municipal Cultural Plan, Key Findings and Directions
Municipality and its cultural, business and community partners. Providing for mechanisms to support these partnerships should be a priority in the municipal cultural plan. . Innovative projects such as the Haliburton Creative Business Incubator speak to a level of understanding in the community about the emerging creative economy and the importance of small enterprises in the growth of that economy but further efforts are required to ensure its long term sustainability and success in the community. . Demographic portrait – from a demographic perspective, Dysart et al has a mix of strengths and weaknesses. The population is growing and the community has a relatively well educated population with a significant number of people college level graduates and involved in skilled trades. Youth unemployment is high and a concentration of seasonal employment and part-time employment constitutes major barriers to economic growth and prosperity.
Creative Cultural Sector Analysis The growing cluster of cultural activity that has developed in Dysart et al over the past 30 years must be commended and celebrated. While the numbers of creative cultural occupations and industries captured by formal statistics are still relatively small, the growth trend is significant. While the cultural economy will not immediately transform the local economy in Dysart et al, it is contributing in a significant way to diversifying that economy making it more resilient and less dependent on a small number of industries. Highlights of the sector analysis include: . From 2001 to 2006 there was a dramatic growth in the creative cultural occupations in Dysart et al far outstripping growth in the province as a whole. While Ontario's percentage of creative cultural occupations grew to 2.1%, Dysart et al's grew to 5.1%. . Creative cultural industries in Dysart et al make up 7.65% of the total businesses in the municipality. This number has increased from 6.4% in 2007.
Community Consultation A variety of community engagement methods were utilized to gather the views of the community in helping to shape the

Report. 1. Dysart Municipal Cultural Plan, Key Findings and Directions
Interviews Approximately 40 stakeholder interviews were conducted with a variety of individuals representing a diversity of community interests including Council, the business community, artists and artisans and arts organizations. A considerable degree of agreement and consensus on many issues was observed across the various interviews.
Community Visioning Session On January 19th 2012, over 50 stakeholders participated in a community visioning event that took place in the Great Hall at the Haliburton School of The Arts - Fleming College Campus. During this session, participants worked in small groups to reflect on a series of four key questions related to creating a vision and directions for the municipal cultural plan.
Community Survey This survey was distributed electronically and was also made available in hard copy form in various places in the community. In total, 173 respondents completed the survey (a remarkably high response rate, higher than any other community – including larger urban centres) in which the consultants have developed municipal cultural plans. This response rate demonstrates the extraordinary level of community engagement and commitment to cultural planning and development in Dysart et al.
Key Directions Ideas emerging from the research and community engagement have led to the identification of the following Key Directions that will form a framework for the development of more detailed strategies and actions in the draft municipal cultural plan.
1. Grow the creative cultural economy The Municipality of Dysart et al has seen strong growth in creative cultural industries and occupations over the past decade. There are strong signals that this growth will continue and can be supported and enhanced through targeted Page 162 of 364 interventions and initiatives. Growing creative cultural jobs and enterprises are potential sources of employment to diversify the local economy and to help address issues of youth retention and attraction.
2. Leverage quality of place to attract residents and grow tourism The beauty of the natural environment combined with the vitality of cultural activities and amenities have produced a unique quality of place that serves as a magnet for new residents and businesses. The same quality of place is simultaneously the primary ‘attractor’ for tourists providing opportunities to continue to grow its tourism industry.

Report. 1. Dysart Municipal Cultural Plan, Key Findings and Directions
This natural setting, along with the Haliburton School of The Arts - Fleming College, plays major roles as ‘magnets’ to attract people and investment to the area.
3. Municipal leadership The municipal cultural plan will define a clear mandate and leadership role for the Municipality in support of cultural development. There is also an opportunity for the plan to recommend strategies to help strengthen and expand business and community partnerships. By clearly defining the municipality’s roles and responsibilities and building partnerships, the municipal cultural plan will help build capacity in both the municipal and the community to advance Dysart et al’s cultural development agenda.
4. Foster Relationships There is a need to work together and build on existing relationships and build new ones in order to make things happen. Relationships should be fostered between: . The cultural sector and the business community; . The Municipality and Haliburton School of The Arts - Fleming College; . The School Board and the a wide range of cultural and broader community groups; and . Cultural groups and activities.
5. Address issues of access While the municipal cultural plan cannot resolve many of the social challenges associated with poverty and exclusion in the community, it can help reduce isolation (particularly among youth and seniors) through increased access to cultural programs and activities. Strategies to combat the cost of transportation in the Municipality should be explored. Participation in cultural activities has been shown to assist in boosting confidence and creativity in youth and exposing them to potential employment opportunities that might otherwise have gone unnoticed.
Page 163 of 364 6. Promote, strengthen and celebrate shared identity The municipal cultural plan must define an inclusive vision of culture that can help unite various facets of the community and combat false perceptions of elitism. Ensuring the vision of culture encompasses the community’s exceptional natural assets and recreational opportunities can help engage a wider cross-section of the community in the rich cultural life of the community. This inclusive vision of culture can contribute to building a stronger sense of shared identity among all groups in the community.

Report. 1. Dysart Municipal Cultural Plan, Key Findings and Directions
7. Expand youth engagement The municipal cultural plan must define concrete strategies and actions that engage youth in a meaningful way by giving them opportunities to define their own cultural needs and aspirations. Cultural programming must be relevant and accessible to youth and strategies are needed to increase active participation in the creation (rather than passive consumption) of cultural products and activities. Youth must have a genuine voice in the future of cultural development in the community.
8. Strengthen sectoral capacity The municipal cultural plan must propose concrete strategies and actions to strengthen coordination among cultural groups and activities. More effective coordination will contribute to building a vibrant and sustainable cultural sector in the community which in turn will expand economic and larger community impacts. Many specific suggestions were proposed to enhance coordination and capacity that will inform recommended actions in this area.
9. Address cultural facilities needs The Municipality of Dysart et al benefits from a range of cultural facilities and infrastructure. There was recognition that additional cultural spaces and facilities needed to expand activity and help realize the full cultural potential of the community. There is a need to integrate cultural facilities planning into operational planning for the Municipality.

3.1.1.2 Haliburton County Official Plan (2006)
The Municipality of Dysart et al is subject to the policies and objectives that are laid out in Haliburton County’s Official Plan. The Haliburton County Official Plan contains a considerable list of objectives to help guide the County’s future growth and development. The plan encompasses everything from parks and recreation to industrial and commercial land use policy. The Official Plan states that significant built heritage resources, cultural heritage landscapes and archaeological resources are to be preserved. These sites include: cultural heritage resources recognized or designated by federal and provincial agencies; and, archaeological remains of prehistoric and historic habitation or areas containing archaeological potential. In cooperation with the local municipalities, a cultural heritage information base will be established and maintained. 3.1.1.3 County of Haliburton Economic Development Marketing Plan (1999) It is recognized that The County of Haliburton Economic Development Marketing Plan, although dated, promotes economic growth but at the there still remains same time seeks to maintain the community's high quality of life and natural environment. The marketing plan highlights significant growth the fact that the area has a strong cluster of arts, crafts, culture and festivals and events and emphasizes the importance potential for the of these assets in the marketing and branding of the County. The role of arts and culture is seen as the signature feature Haliburton School of of the region, along with the natural landscape. The plan recommends the County utilize arts and culture to generate the Arts - Fleming economic diversification and growth. College The marketing plan also points out key advantages and disadvantages in relationship between the local education and County of Haliburton cultural sectors including: Economic Development . Advantages: These include the extent of cultural and educational assets of the County, such as Haliburton School of Marketing Plan The Arts - Fleming College; some 32 different visual and performing arts groups which are active in the area; and a (1999) strong volunteer culture and commitment of individuals to the County's cultural organizations.
. Disadvantages: There is significant growth potential for both the Haliburton School of The Arts - Fleming College and Page 169 of 364 the Studio Tour. However, concern was expressed at the time of the Marketing Plan, that that the school system does not place enough importance on the arts. 3.1.1.4 Haliburton County Business Retention & Expansion Report (2011)
The business retention and expansion report commissioned by Haliburton's Chamber of Commerce provides an in-depth perspective on the local business climate in the County. One of the main concerns highlighted in the document is that Haliburton County's economy continues to be based primarily on the tourism industry which is demonstrated by the 3:1
10 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Dysart et al. Municipal Cultural Plan – Key Findings and Directions Report
Report. 1. Dysart Municipal Cultural Plan, Key Findings and Directions
ratio of summer residents compared to year round residents. Employment opportunities therefore are seen as catering largely to the seasonal population leaving residents and business owners to struggle in the off season. Of the total number of businesses surveyed in the BR+E, 7% of businesses were involved in arts, entertainment and recreation. However, none of the responses were broken down into sectors so it was impossible to see which factors affect creative cultural businesses in particular. Overall the cost of electricity was a key concern for all businesses as was roadways and high speed internet access in the rural areas of the municipality. Tourism was highlighted as the primary industry in the County. Approximately 36% of businesses consider the seasonality the most significant barrier to expansion of their businesses. The lack of skilled labour, lack of partnerships and vision, a lack of transportation and small market size were also considered key community weaknesses. Acknowledging these challenges, there were also a considerable number of strengths highlighted, including: quality of life, natural beauty, tourism destination, business support, sense of community and a low cost of doing business. 3.1.1.5 Creative Business Incubator in Haliburton Feasibility Study (2008)
When Haliburton County created their Strategic Plan, arts and culture was identified as a potential sector for growth within the region. In the fall of 2005, the Economic Diversity Committee of the Haliburton County hosted a forum, facilitated by Artscape, to examine opportunities for the development of a creative business incubator in the County. The forum identified a range of opportunities and an initial phase was launched. In late 2007 the Municipality of Dysart et al received funding from the Eastern Ontario Development Program to complete a feasibility study. From this study the Haliburton Creative Business Incubator was started. The intent of the Haliburton Creative Business Incubator (HCBI) program is to support innovative, emerging entrepreneurs in the creative economy. The goal of HCBI is to create jobs through supporting innovative, emerging entrepreneurs in the region. The HCBI was developed as a partnership between the Haliburton County Development Corporation, the Municipality of Dysart et al and the Ontario Ministry of Culture. The incubator was made possible through funding from the Ontario
Page 170 of 364 Ministry of Culture's Cultural Strategic Investment Fund, Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Eastern Ontario Development Program, the Municipality of Dysart et al and the Haliburton County Development Corporation. The HCBI model is built upon partnerships between business, education, government and special interest organizations. Entrepreneurs can apply to be clients of the incubator and upon selection are provided with work space and other resources to grow their enterprise, such as mentoring. The HCBI matches entrepreneurs with a mentor, which is supported by the Haliburton Rotary Club

3.1.1.6 Business Development Page (www.county.haliburton.on.ca)
The County of Haliburton has become actively engaged in gathering information related to economic development over the past 5 years. One aspect of this work has been to include a business development section on the County’s website. The information relates to economic characteristics of the County but also highlights the sectors that are experiencing significant growth, including the creative economy. 3.1.2 Municipality of Dysart et al Documents 3.1.2.1 Dysart et al Official Plan (2005)
The Official Plan outlines a range of objectives to help guide Dysart et al’s future growth and development. One of key objectives identified in the Official Plan is the importance of conserving Dysart et al’s cultural heritage resources. The Official Plan states that cultural heritage resources shape the character of the planning area and contribute to the quality of life within the Municipality. The Municipality recognizes the importance of its cultural heritage resources and encourages the identification, conservation, protection, restoration, and enhancement of these resources. In considering development applications and undertaking public works, the Official Plan commits the Municipality to ensure that significant cultural heritage resources in the Municipality are managed in a responsible manner which perpetuates their Heritage functional use while maintaining their heritage value and benefit to the community. resources shape the character of Specifically this Plan will: the planning area .

3.1.2.3 Historical Interest By-laws By-law No. 77-3, 79-9 and 88-6
These bylaws designate three significant buildings in the Village of Haliburton to acknowledge their historical and architectural value or interest and importance to the community. The Town Hall was recommended for designation due to its historical significance. . Originally constructed in 1897, the Town Hall was the centre of all activity in the community. The well-designed and well-preserved stone structure was more than just a place for council to meet but also a community hub and centre that served as a place for events such as concerts, socials, arts and agricultural displays. It was also the 109th Battalion’s headquarters during the First World War. The C.N.R. Station constructed in 1878 stands as a monument to a bygone era when steam locomotives were the backbone of commerce and travel in Haliburton County. The station is a well-designed and well-preserved wood frame structure of the late 19th century. The third significant historical building specified under 88-6 is the former Banks General Store. 3.1.2.4 Active Transportation Plan (2006)
In 2006, a study commissioned by Haliburton’s Community Action Committee looked at the state of active transportation within Haliburton Village. Active transportation relates to transportation on foot (i.e. walking or biking). Active transportation planning has two main objectives: the first is increasing the level of physical activity of residents; the second is to decrease the ecological footprint of automobiles. The study concluded that the state of active transportation in Haliburton Village is adequate. However, specific problem Glebe Park is a areas identified. York Street and Highland Street in the downtown core are well developed but still require crowding unique and control from all the vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The study stated that trails are in reasonable condition but access to culturally them is poor. The result of the study included a full scale active transportation plan for the village in 2009. significant One of the key recommendations from the Plan is the notion of creating a culture for healthy, active communities. This component of suggests the re-thinking of the village’s transportation hierarchy with pedestrians and walking the primary functionality the Village of when considering transportation needs.

Currently the permitted uses in the park (according to Dysart et al's Official Plan) include: museum, park land, public use and general school use. The park currently hosts arts education seminars and events, the sculpture forest, heritage interpretations and other special events. Assets such as the Haliburton School of The Arts - Fleming College, Sculpture Forest and the Haliburton Highlands Museum help increase the use of the Glebe Park and in turn the park and its activities draw people to the facilities. Glebe Park is a unique and culturally significant component of the Village of Haliburton and the municipality. It links the arts with history and nature to provide a retreat for both residents and visitors. This document highlights not only the natural importance of the park but also the cultural significance and weaves these two identities of the park into one. 3.1.2.6 Glebe Park Stewardship Plan 2011-2021 (2010)
The Glebe Park Stewardship Plan is a forest management plan focused on the ecosystem of the park and does not mention the cultural importance of the park at all. The document states that the main objectives of the park are recreation, environmental and natural appreciation with no goals mentioning culture.
3.2 Key Demographic Trends Dysart et al also has relatively The Municipality of Dysart et al has experienced significant population growth from 2006 to 2011 having seen an increase high rate of of 8% compared to 5.4% growth in Haliburton County and 5.7% growth in the Province as a whole.

While these results point to a reasonably strong local economy, these figures are somewhat misleading. Many of the employment opportunities found in the area are seasonal, part-time and serviced based suggesting that a level of underemployment in the community. Dysart et al also has relatively high rate of youth unemployment. Youth age 15 to 24 is experiencing an unemployment rate of 19.7%, higher than both the County of Haliburton (at 19.4%) and the Province of Ontario (at 14.5%). See Figure 2. This has led to increased youth out migration Page 173 of 364 from the area to obtain educational and occupational opportunities.

A number of themes relevant to the municipal cultural plan can be derived from this review of the current planning context.
. Many plans and strategies exist that recognize the importance of cultural resources and activities. However, there is some question about the degree to which these stated commitments have been fully realized or implemented due to a series of factors including financial pressures.

The Municipality does not yet have an integrated economic development strategy. . The history and economy of Dysart et al has contributed to a somewhat ‘divided’ community, where a sense of identity and common cause is not always shared between seasonal and year-round residents, and between long-time residents and those who have relocated to the community in more recent years, many of whom have strong connections to arts and cultural activities. . The beauty and appeal of the natural environment and natural heritage constitute one of the area’s most important assets in attracting new residents as well as tourists. Building and promoting stronger connections and synergies in promoting both natural and cultural assets hold potential to grow jobs and economic development. . Demographically, Dysart et al has a mix of both strengths and weaknesses. The population is growing and the community attracts a relatively high level of post-secondary education in college and apprenticeship programs relative to other rural jurisdictions. However, there appears to be a degree of underemployment within the workforce consistent with the performance of many rural communities. Youth unemployment is high and a concentration of seasonal employment and part-time employment constitutes major barriers to economic growth and prosperity.

Many communities are now recognizing that enhancing quality of place and creating attractive amenities can recognition draw talented people, which in turn attract business investment. Given that this “creative” labour force values diverse across Canada of cultural experiences, as well as interesting heritage and access to the natural environment, it is imperative for the importance of communities to understand and cultivate their cultural resources to drive economic development. creativity, culture The creative economy should be understood to underlie all sectors of the broader economy. Creativity can be applied to and quality of the introduction of new processes, the creation of new products, and the design of systems in fields from construction to place in growing craft-making. In this sense, the creative economy is defined by the skills and ideas that people employ and typically local economies. measured using occupational data. Creative industries and occupations encompass a wide range of knowledge-based jobs in which innovation and creativity drives value creation. These industries and occupations encompass sectors such as science and medicine, financial services, engineering, among others. Contained within this broader set of creative industries and occupations we find the creative cultural sector. The interrelationships of these different elements of the larger notion of the creative economy are illustrated in Figure 4.

The creative economy should be understood to underlie all sectors of the broader economy. Creativity can be applied to the introduction of new processes, the creation of new products, and the design of systems in fields from construction to craft-
making. 4.2 Creativity in the Labour Force: Occupational Categories
As mentioned above, the creative economy is often defined according to occupations, in order to better reflect what work people actually do. Though there are multiple definitions of creative work, a definition adapted from the Martin Prosperity Institute, places creative occupations within four broad types of work1. These occupational categories are defined as follows:
Page 178 of 364 . Creative occupations – the growing number of people who are paid to think. These include scientists and technologists, artists and entertainers, and managers and analysts. . Service occupations – where work involves little autonomy, and occupations are focused on the delivery of services, including food-service workers, janitors, and clerks.

. Physical occupations – consisting of people who use physical skills and carry out relatively repetitive tasks, such as tradespersons, mechanics, crane operators, and assembly line workers. . Resource occupations (FFF) – consisting of occupations in fishing, farming and agriculture, forestry (FFF) and mining. Each of these labour force categories is populated with occupational data defined by the National Occupation Classification (NOC) system and can be applied to Dysart et al. Figure 5 provides a high level comparison of occupation categories in the Municipality of Dysart et al, Haliburton County and the Province of Ontario. The creative class constitutes 33% of Dysart et al's total labour force; this is 1.7% below the Provincial average but 6% above Haliburton County's creative class average of 27.6%.

The creative cultural economy is a subset of the broader creative economy examined above. The analysis will now turn to an economic analysis of trends in this expanding economic sector.
4.3 Understanding the Creative Cultural Sector
The analysis below uses Statistics Canada data as well as Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) data to create a portrait of Dysart et al’s creative cultural sector. This analysis will help inform the strategies and actions to be set out in the eventual municipal cultural plan. Statistics Canada’s Canadian Framework for Culture Statistics defines a set of creative cultural industries as well as creative cultural occupations. The Framework further identifies that the creation of goods and services that are ‘cultural’ involves a series of inter-connected processes – what they refer to as ‘the creative chain’. The creative chain considers all the occupations and industries involved in the creation, production, manufacturing, distribution and support of creative cultural output as illustrated in Figure 7.

Cultural activities carried out by organizations (such as performing arts groups) that do not have full-time employees, but operate with volunteers, part time staff, or casual/seasonal employees. The full complement of human resources would not be captured in this case, whereas the number of employees would be captured by other more traditional economic activities.

Creative cultural occupations are those in which cultural expression and aesthetic value are driving elements of the work produced. This analysis utilizes occupational definitions set out in Statistics Canada’s Canadian Framework for Cultural Statistics. Creative cultural occupations are differentiated as falling into one of two categories. The first are core cultural occupations that include the following.
23 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Dysart et al. Municipal Cultural Plan – Key Findings and Directions Report
Report. 1. Dysart Municipal Cultural Plan, Key Findings and Directions
. Creative and artistic production occupations, including architects, designers, writers, performing artists, visual artists, and artisans, and; . Heritage collection and preservation occupations, including librarians, curators and archivists. A second category of cultural support occupations are classified by the Framework for Cultural Statistics. These include jobs that provide direct services or support to cultural production and fall into three categories: . Cultural management, including supervisors and managers in the arts; . Technical and operational occupations, including drafting technicians, camera operators, broadcasters, and other technicians and technologists, and; . Manufacturing occupations, including film processing, printing and binding operators, and camera & plate makers. Figure 8 compares Ontario and Dysart et al’s percentage of creative cultural occupations. In Dysart et al, in 2001, 1.9% of the total working population worked in creative cultural occupations, equal to the Provincial average. Results from 2001 to 2006 also suggest that there was a dramatic growth in the number of creative cultural occupations in Dysart et al. While Ontario's percentage of creative cultural occupations grew to 2.1%, Dysart et al's grew to 5.1%.

4.6 Summary of the Creative Cultural Sector Analysis
Overall, economic development is increasingly driven by a new economic paradigm directed by creativity, culture and quality of place. Culture contributes to building vital and vibrant places that attract the people, businesses and industries While the cultural that apply their knowledge and skills to adapt, to change solve problems, and drive innovation and wealth in the creative economy will not economy. immediately The growing cluster of cultural activity that has developed in Dysart et al over the past 30 years must be commended and transform the celebrated.

5 Community Consultation 5.1 Interview Summary
Approximately 40 stakeholder interviews were conducted with a variety of individuals representing a diversity of community interests:
. Municipal Council – all members of Council were interviewed; . Cultural sector – representatives drawn from a wide range of cultural disciplines and activities; . Business community – representatives from the Chamber of Commerce, Haliburton County Development Corporation, Haliburton Creative Business Incubator; . Educational sector – representing primary, secondary and post-secondary school interests; . Social agencies – dealing with social issues and challenges in the community; and . Natural and cultural heritage interests. Interview guides were distributed to each participant in advance of the interview. Each interview lasted between 30-60 The creative minutes. A considerable degree of agreement and consensus on many issues was observed across the various cultural industries interviews. The following were important recurring themes drawn from this phase of the community engagement process. combined with growing cultural 1.

Coordination would be greatly enhanced if the Chamber of Commerce, Business Enterprise Centre, CFDC and Creative Business Incubator all sharing the same space. The example of Elgin County where such shared facilities exist was cited as a success story to be emulated.

. There is no integrated economic development strategy for the municipality. Some expressed the view that the municipal cultural plan could serve to demonstrate the value of such a strategy. . More effective division of responsibilities and coordination in economic development between the County and local municipalities was raised. There is some indication that the County is rethinking its economic development role and function. . Many drew attention to the importance of downtown revitalization in strengthening the local economy and applauded the major capital investment the Municipality was making in the Village of Haliburton downtown. 2. Socioeconomic Barriers and Challenges While a great deal of attention in the interviews was given over to the economic opportunities associated with cultural Seniors and development, there was also considerable attention to the social challenges facing the community particularly in terms of youth were felt to unemployment and poverty. be groups requiring greater Seniors and youth were felt to be groups requiring greater attention, particularly related to issues of access – both attention physical access (getting to events or activity) and financial access (the cost of performances or activities). particularly Other specific points identified included: related to issues of access – both .

One of the Municipality’s key strengths and competitive advantages in attracting new residents and businesses is the extraordinary level of artistic talent and the breadth and depth of cultural groups and activities. One ‘downside’ to this Page 191 of 364 volume of activity related to the need for stronger coordination. It was also felt that some in the community took the success and level of activity for granted and there was a need for better promotion and profiling of the richness of what is happening. . One individual interviewed commented: "there is a strong nucleus of artists and talent across many disciplines; a critical mass of artists and arts activity is now in place; an artist community is forming where and there is a larger sense of shared interest across disciplines – this hasn’t been the case to the same degree in the past".

4. Supportive Municipal Leadership Dysart et al has an extremely vibrant arts and cultural community that has grown organically over the years supported by many dedicated and passionate volunteers. Launching the municipal cultural plan and support for the cultural mapping There was a project were seen to be extremely positive signs on the part of many interviewees regarding the Municipality’s interest feeling and engagement with cultural development in the community. There was a feeling expressed by many that Council’s expressed by appreciation of the importance of culture to economic development and community well-being had increased significantly many of those over several years. Positive steps identified signalling the Municipality’s interest and past commitments to culture in the interviewed that community included: Council’s appreciation of . The purchase and development of land for Head Lake Park; the importance . The conveyance of land to Fleming College for the construction of the new College campus. The purchase of land for of culture to road purposes and construction of the access road to the new College campus.

Streetscape upgrade to York Street and Highland Street (currently in process); and, . Engagement with the county-wide municipal cultural mapping activities; 5. Connecting Natural and Cultural Assets The natural assets and landscape of the area are breath-taking and identified repeatedly as among the area’s most important assets and attractors. The natural environment has been a magnet for many of the artists and artisans drawn to the area over many years, as well as a defining characteristic of the identity of the community. It was felt greater efforts could be made to connect the arts, culture and heritage to the natural assets of the region. The County of Haliburton’s brand - ‘A Natural Work of Art’ represents a strong start in this regard.
Page 192 of 364 Specific suggestions included: . New festivals, events or programs should focus on reinforcing these connections; . Among the most frequently cited natural heritage assets identified were the Hiking Festival, the trails system, Haliburton Forest and the Wolf Centre.

6. Most Important Cultural Resources One interview question asked people to identify what they felt to be the most important cultural resources in the community. The following were the most frequently cited answers, in order of frequency: . People and Talent – many artists across a range of disciplines, together with an active and dedicated volunteer base. . The Haliburton School of The Arts – Fleming College Campus – a huge asset to the community that attracts individuals year-round and stimulates economic activity. . Northern Lights Pavilion For the Performing Arts – an important asset for the performing arts community and an innovative partnership with the high school. . Arts Council Haliburton Highlands – many commented on how effective the Council was in providing support for arts community. . The Rails End Gallery and Art Center - a treasure for the visual arts and broader community – with strong programs and well run from a business perspective.. . Festivals - including Dusk Dance, Haliburton Arts and Crafts Festival etc. – these work to connect the community while also attracting visitors and tourists and stimulating economic development . The Haliburton County Public Library system – while the new building is a great asset and addition to the community, people drew attention to the wider library network. . Canoe FM – this strong community radio station promotes arts and cultural activity and opportunities and plays a role in reinforcing a sense of community in Dysart et al. . A vibrant downtown core – while citing challenges currently confronting the Village of Haliburton downtown in terms of maintaining businesses etc. a vibrant downtown was cited as an important cultural resource.

8. Strong Volunteerism and Community Engagement Everyone commented on the strong culture of volunteerism and civic engagement as one of the community’s most important assets. However, there were also some concerns expressed about the future of this essential resource. It was suggested that a tremendous weight of responsibility had fallen to a relatively small group of people over many years and these individuals could not be expected to sustain this level of activity. Some concern was expressed about succession Everyone planning and the ability of the community to recruit another generation of volunteer leadership. Others felt that there were commented on new residents in the community (many of whom were relatively young retirees) who had time and talent to contribute, but the strong spirit of that a more concerted effort was needed to engage these individuals. Other issues that arose related to volunteerism and volunteerism and community engagement included: civic engagement . A challenge faced by the community (and Council) was bridging and balancing the interests of what one interviewee as one of the referred to as the ‘two communities.’ The first community is made up of those longstanding residents, many linked to community’s the ‘old economy’ in forestry. The second community was made up of newer residents, many connected with the arts most important and culture community. Many of these individuals brought with them views associated more with the ‘new economy’ in assets. Dysart et al based more on culture and tourism; and, . It was noted that a third community of cottagers and seasonal residents existed. 9. Stronger Coordination of Groups and Activities One of the strongest and most consistent messages heard across all interviews was the need for cultural activity to be better coordinated. The problem was seen not so much as a lack of collaboration (indeed many individuals are involved in more than one organization lending support for inter-organizational collaboration) but a lack of overall coordination resulting in wasted time and resources. One opportunity related to improved coordination relates to funding opportunities. Stronger coordination (including measures to be recommended through the municipal cultural plan) would increase the potential for government funding for overarching projects or initiatives that would benefit all organizations. If funding for coordinated initiatives or activities was secured from other levels of government, it was felt the Municipality would be more inclined to contribute to these Page 194 of 364 initiatives. Contributions to joint projects were seen as preferable to Council as responding to large numbers of requests from many groups for relatively small amounts of money. Several individuals commented on the need for some sort of governance structure to support ongoing communication and relationship building across a wide range of interests and stakeholders needed to support and advance cultural development – i.e., the Municipality, cultural groups, business, social service agencies, schools, etc.. Other opportunities for greater coordination included:
35 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Dysart et al. Municipal Cultural Plan – Key Findings and Directions Report
Report. 1. Dysart Municipal Cultural Plan, Key Findings and Directions
. A collective voice for advocacy; . A coordinated box office and ticketing; . Avoiding events being scheduled on the same date; . Opportunities to share financial risk. Innovative approaches to addressing this need are already being executed by the Haliburton Co-op that have developed risk mitigation mechanisms to support organizations and individual artists. . A continuously updated and comprehensive calendar of events; and, . One of the most important roles it was felt the Municipality can play is one of facilitation – facilitating stronger promotion of cultural activity and stronger communication among groups in the cultural community. 10. Cultural Facilities Most felt that Dysart et al enjoyed a wealth of cultural facilities that are the envy of many communities.

Report. 1. Dysart Municipal Cultural Plan, Key Findings and Directions
7 Key Directions Emerging from all the research and community engagement findings have led to the identification of the following Key Directions that will form a framework for the development of more detailed strategies and actions in the draft municipal cultural plan. 7.1 Grow the creative cultural economy
The Municipality of Dysart et al has seen strong growth in creative cultural industries and occupations over the past decade. There are strong signals that this growth will continue and can be supported and enhanced through targeted interventions and initiatives. Growing creative cultural jobs and enterprises are potential sources of employment to address issues of youth retention and attraction. 7.2 Leverage quality of place to attract residents and grow tourism
The beauty of the natural environment combined with the vitality of cultural activities and amenities have produced a unique quality of place that serves as a magnet for new residents and businesses. The same quality of place is simultaneously the primary ‘attractor’ for tourists providing opportunities to continue to grow its tourism industry. The Haliburton School of The Arts - Fleming College constitutes one of the community’s most important and unique contributors to its quality of place. It was also noted the College placed a strong emphasis on connecting natural and cultural assets and on providing art education in a natural setting. 7.3 Municipal leadership
The municipal cultural plan will define a clear mandate and leadership role for the Municipality in support of cultural development. There is also an opportunity for the plan to recommend strategies to help strengthen and expand business
Page 212 of 364 and community partnerships. By clearly defining the Municipality’s roles and responsibilities and building partnerships, the municipal cultural plan will help build capacity to advance Dysart et al’s cultural development agenda. It was noted that there are many ways in which the Municipality can support cultural development in the community through normal operations including things such as improved signage in the community, strengthening coordination and collaboration across departments in support of culture, new infrastructure investments (such as washrooms in Head Lake Park), among others.

Report. 1. Dysart Municipal Cultural Plan, Key Findings and Directions
7.4 Foster relationships
There is a need to work together and build on existing relationships and build new ones in order to make things happen. Relationships should be fostered between: . Artist and Business Community; . Municipality and Haliburton School of The Arts - Fleming College; . School Board and the broader community; and . between arts and cultural groups. 7.5 Address issues of access
While the municipal cultural plan cannot resolve many of the social challenges associated with poverty and exclusion in the community, it can help reduce isolation (particularly among youth and seniors) through increased access to cultural programs and activities. Strategies to combat the cost of transportation in the Municipality should be explored. Participation in cultural activities has been shown to assist in boosting confidence and creativity in youth and exposing them to potential employment opportunities that might otherwise have gone unnoticed.
7.6 Promote, strengthen and celebrate shared identity
The municipal cultural plan must define an inclusive vision of culture that can help unite various facets of the community and combat false perceptions of elitism. Ensuring the vision of culture encompasses the community’s exceptional natural assets and recreational opportunities can help engage a wider cross-section of the community in the rich cultural life of the community.
This inclusive vision of culture can contribute to building a stronger sense of shared identity among all groups in the
Page 213 of 364 community. It can contribute to enhanced civic pride and a commitment to tackling shared challenges together. Extending cultural mapping to include the identification and celebration of the community’s intangible cultural resources and community stories can be a powerful tool for building and reinforcing this shared identity.

Report. 1. Dysart Municipal Cultural Plan, Key Findings and Directions
7.7 Expand youth engagement
The municipal cultural plan must define concrete strategies and actions that engage youth in a meaningful way by giving them opportunities to define their own cultural needs and aspirations. Cultural programming must be relevant and accessible to youth and strategies are needed to increase active participation in the creation (rather than passive consumption) of cultural products and activities. Youth must have a genuine voice in the future of cultural development in the community.
7.8 Strengthen sectoral capacity
The municipal cultural plan must propose concrete strategies and actions to strengthen coordination among cultural groups and activities. More effective coordination will contribute to building a vibrant and sustainable cultural sector in the community. Building capacity in the cultural sector will also contribute to expanded activity and greater economic impacts. Many specific suggestions were proposed to enhance coordination and capacity that will inform recommended actions in this area.
7.9 Address cultural facilities needs
The Municipality of Dysart et al benefits from a range of cultural facilities and infrastructure There was recognition that additional cultural spaces and facilities needed to expand activity and help realize the full cultural potential of the community. There is a need to integrate cultural facilities planning into the operation planning of the Municipality. There are opportunities for the enhancement and expansion of facilities to realize the full potential of the community.

By-law 2012-26 recognizes the proposed highway commercial use, and defines an agriculture, heritage and resource education centre. A site plan agreement is required to regulate development of the lot. The Ministry of Transportation has requested a site plan, a traffic impact assessment and a storm water management plan prior to issuing their development permits. These studies/approvals are included in the holding provisions of By-law 2012-26. Notice of the public meeting to discuss the proposed by-law was circulated to all persons and agencies, required by regulation on February 7th, 2012. An advertisement was placed in the local paper. The public meeting will be held on March 5th, 2012. The Ministry of Transportation advise that they have no objection to the principle of the proposal subject to their standard conditions. No other written or verbal comments have been received on the application.

Re: By-law 2012-27, Zoning By-law Amendment Lands of 2244587 Ontario Inc. (Carwash) Geographic Township of Dysart
Recommendation: that By-law 2012-27, which is a by-law to amend By-law 2005-120, by changing the zone on Part Lot 13, Concession 9, in the geographic Township of Dysart from "RU1" (the Rural Type 1 zone) to "CH-28" (the Highway Commercial 28 Exception zone) be read a first, second, third time, signed and the corporate seal attached thereto.
Background: The owners would like to rezone a portion of the subject lands to permit construction of a car wash. There will be an area set aside for Bell Canada to store its equipment. The owners have applied to connect the property to municipal sewers.
By-law 2012-27 recognizes the proposed highway commercial use. The existing Environmental Protection zone is not affected by this proposal. A site plan agreement is required to regulate development of the lot. The site plan agreement will require the payment of the capital cost contribution for use of municipal sewers. This cost reflects water usage and is rated as an "ERU" (or "equivalent residential unit"). The owners advise that their facility will recycle 80% of the water required for the operation. They estimate the total water usage per day to be 2273 litres (500 gallons) or 2 ERUs. Staff conducted our own research on water usage and reviewed a 2002 report, prepared by the International Carwash Association, entitled "Water Use in the Professional Car Wash Industry". This report studies several self-service and automatic car wash facilities and presents figures on water usage. The report reviewed figures for self-service, in-bay and conveyor-type operations. Typically in rural Ontario, we see self-service operations. Staff also reviewed figures for conveyor operations. The report noted the following: Worst case scenario for self serve operations: 16 gallons per vehicle if 100 cars/day: 100 x 16 = 1600 gallons or 7275 litres 7275 / 1100 = 7 ERUs. Worst case scenario for conveyor-type operations: 44 gallons per vehicle

By-law 2012-27, Zoning By-law, Lands of 2244587 Ontario Inc., Page 223 of 364 Industrial Park Road, Township of Dysart. of 100 cars/day: 100 x 44 = 4400 gallons or 20000 litres 20000 / 1100 = 18 ERUs. As a comparison, the Municipality rates a three bedroom house at 1100 litres per day or 1 ERU. Staff will require direction from Council Notice of the public meeting to discuss the proposed by-law was circulated to all persons and agencies, required by regulation on February 7th, 2012. An advertisement was placed in the local paper. The public meeting will be held on March 5th, 2012. There were no written or verbal comments received on the application. The Public Meeting Committee recommends passage of the proposed zoning by-law amendment.
Summary: By-law 2012-27 conforms to Provincial Policy and with the provisions of the Dysart Official Plan. No particular concerns were noted at the public meeting. A site plan agreement is required to regulate development of the property. Staff will require direction on how to assess the capital cost contribution for municipal sewers (ERU rate) at that time.
Financial Implications: there are no financial implications.

Re: By-law 2012-28, Zoning By-law Amendment Lands of 1802367 Ontario Inc. (Granite View Condominium Development) Geographic Township of Dysart
Recommendation: that By-law 2012-28, which is a by-law to amend By-law 2005-120, by changing the zone on Part Lot 16, Concession 8, Lot 1 and Part 2 Lot, Block F, Plan 1 in the geographic Township of Dysart from "R1" (the Residential Type 1 zone) to "R3-12" (the Residential Type 3-12 Exception zone) be read a first, second, third time, signed and the corporate seal attached thereto. Holding provisions will apply to ensure that all required studies and approvals are satisfied before building permits are issued.
Background: 1802367 Ontario Inc. proposes to construct a medium density building, which they will call Granite View Condominium Development. The project will consist of: a three storey building, maximum height of 18 metres (59 feet); 24 units, each with minimum floor area of 83 sq. metres (893 sq. feet); 24 covered (but open) parking spaces for residents; 12 open air parking spaces for visitors, 3 of which will be accessible parking spaces; municipal sewer services and a private communal water system; a 3 metre vegetation buffer along the rear lot line; and a privacy fence, along the interior side lot line. The following standard background reports are required to support the project: a storm water management and construction mitigation plan; a hydrogeology study to confirm water; engineering plans for the water system; and engineering plans for the internal sewer system and connection to the municipal system. The following approvals are required before the project can proceed: Zoning By-law amendment: in process holding conditions will be applied to address the required background studies and approvals.

4. By-law 2012-28, Zoning By-law, Lands of 1802367 Ontario Inc., Page 230 of 364 Mountain Street, Township of Dysart. Deeming By-law: to allow the merger of all applicable lots into one consolidated parcel. Storm water management system: report will be peer reviewed by the municipal engineer. Communal water system: report will be peer reviewed by the municipal engineer; and responsibility agreement will be prepared by the municipal solicitor.

By-law 2012-28 recognizes the proposed medium density residential use and establishes zone provisions suitable for the property. Notice of the public meeting to discuss the proposed by-law was circulated to all persons and agencies, required by regulation on February 7th, 2012. An advertisement was placed in the local paper. The public meeting was held on March 5th, 2012. The developers and several neighbours attended to discuss the proposal. The following summarizes the issues that were identified: traffic conditions, including site line issues, road conditions and volume of traffic on Mountain Street and Lake Avenue; sidewalks; impact of blasting to foundations and wells; truck traffic and other construction phase impacts; impact of development to wells (quality and quantity of water); capacity of sewage treatment plant; privacy issues; vegetation screening; lighting; exterior facade colours; sidewalks; and real estate values. The developers have addressed many of the concerns. The Assistant Road Superintendent has provided a report on Mountain Street and Lake Avenue. The following applies: Some concerns can be addressed though site plan control (vegetation screening, lighting, sidewalks, exterior finishes, traffic signage and curbs as per the report of the Assistant Road Superintendent etc.). Some concerns can be addressed by the background reports (impact to neighbouring wells, impact of storm drainage etc.). Some concerns must be addressed by assurances and actions of the developer (blasting, staging areas, impacts to the foundation, wells etc.).

4. By-law 2012-28, Zoning By-law, Lands of 1802367 Ontario Inc., Page 231 of 364 Mountain Street, Township of Dysart. The developers have had further discussions with Mr. and Mrs. Charron, who are most directly affected by the proposal. It has been agreed that they will attempt to move the building back on the property as much as possible. This may require a change to the parking space setback along Mountain Street. If this is the case, it will be addressed through a minor variance so that all affected neighbours will have input to the discussion,
The Public Meeting Committee recommends passage of the proposed zoning by-law amendment, subject to further discussion of the neighbours' concerns.
Summary: By-law 2012-28 conforms to Provincial Policy and with the provisions of the Dysart Official Plan. Several concerns were noted at the public meeting. Site plan approval, the required background studies and the assurances of the developer will address many concerns.

Re: By-law 2012-33 - Severance Agreement Lands of Grant - Highland Street Roll No.: 012-29300 Geographic Township of Dysart
Recommendation: that By-law 2012-33, being a by-law to authorize the execution of a severance agreement with Randal and Martin Grant with respect to their lands in the Township of Dysart be read a first, second and third time, passed, signed and the corporate seal attached thereto.
Status Council first reviewed the draft severance agreement on July 4th, 2011. Minor changes were made following Council's direction at the meeting of February 6th, 2012. The owners have now executed the revised agreement.
Background: The owners have applied to the Haliburton County Land Division Committee to sever their holdings on Highland Street into two lots for commercial purposes (file H-039/11). The property occupied by "Cool Licks" is being separated from the property occupied by "Bersteins". The severance agreement gives notice to the owners and to future land owners of the conditions for development. Specifically, it gives notices that: a site development plan has been prepared to show the location of all buildings and to regulate the proper development of the subject lands; the building on the retained property (Bernsteins) encroaches onto the road allowance for Highland Street and that the Municipality has issued a license of occupation to recognize this encroachment until such time in the future that the building is re-constructed; all deliveries, loading and unloading of goods and material is to be from the right of way from York Street; and

Garbage is to be properly disposed of in suitable containers and the site maintained in a clean and orderly condition. This severance agreement is being executed concurrently with a licence of occupation agreement, which recognizes the encroachment of the building occupied by "Bernsteins" onto the road allowance for Highland Street.
Summary: By-law 2012-33 authorizes the execution of a severance agreement which will give direction for the proper development of the subject lands.
Financial Implications: N/A.

Re: By-law 2012-34 - Licence of Occupation Agreement (Grant) Road Allowance for Highland Street Roll No.: 012-29300 Geographic Township of Dysart
Recommendation: that By-law 2012-34, which is a by-law to authorize execution of a License of Occupation Agreement with Randal and Martin Grant for use of a portion of Highland Street, designated as Part 4, Plan 19R-9369, be read a first, second and third time and passed, signed and the corporate seal attached thereto.
Status Council reviewed and approved the draft Licence of Occupation Agreement at the meeting of February 13th, 2012. The licensees have now executed the agreement.
Background: The Grants have applied to the Haliburton County Land Division Committee to sever their holdings on Highland Street into two lots for commercial purposes (file H-039/11). The property occupied by "Cool Licks" is being separated from the property occupied by "Bersteins". While reviewing the severance application, it was noted that the building on the retained property (Bernsteins) encroaches onto the road allowance for Highland Street. This License of Occupation Agreement recognizes the encroachment and permits the use of municipal property until such time in the future that the building is re-constructed. The agreement: recognizes and defines the encroachment; establishes a 5 year term for the agreement; establishes a licence fee of $100.00 per year for use of municipal property; and requires insurance.
Summary: By-law 2012-34 authorizes the execution of a license of occupation agreement for the encroachment of Bersteins onto the road allowance for Highland Street. It recognizes this encroachment and permits the use until such time in the future that the building is re- constructed. Licence of Occupation: Grant Page 1 of 2

Date: March 19th, 2012
Re: Draft Plan of Subdivision 46T-91003 Lands of 2026682 Ontario Limited, East Lake Geographic Township of Harburn
Recommendation: given the age of the subdivision application and the changes to provincial and municipal planning policy, the Council of the Corporation of the United Townships of Dysart et al recommends that draft plan approval for file 46T-91003 be withdrawn or that the plan be red-lined and the conditions of draft approval be updated to comply with current standards.
Background: The County of Haliburton is requesting Council's comments on whether it should withdraw draft approval for file 46T-91003. In 1991, a previous owner of the subject lands made application to create forty eight lots on East Lake. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing granted draft approval to file 46T-91003 on April 11th, 1994. The developer has not satisfied any conditions of draft approval. Provincial and Municipal planning policies have changed significantly since 1991. The application would not satisfy current standards. In particular, the proposed lots are typical of the minimum lot frontage and area standards in place in 1991. They do not generally comply with the current By-law provisions. Access to the property has been an issue in the past and is one of the reasons that the file has not gone forward.
Summary: the County of Haliburton is requesting Council's comments on whether to withdraw draft approval for file 46T-91003. The proposed lots do not comply with current municipal and provincial planning policy. In particular, they do not comply with the current By-law standards for lot frontage and area.
Financial Implications: there are no financial implications.
Attachments: the following are attached to this report: key map; draft plan (reduced copy); and correspondence from the County of Haliburton.

Meeting Minutes
Present: Sue Shikaze (chair & minutes), Jim Blake, Kate Hall, Lisa Tolentino, Dick Charron, Roy Haig
1. WELCOME Sue welcomed everyone.
2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA The agenda was approved as written.
3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES from January 9, 2012 The minutes were approved as written.
4. BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES 4.1 Action: Sue will follow up with the consultant to get an update on the Highlands East OP. Sue heard back from the consultant that he was aiming for an updated draft to be done early in the year. She requested a copy, which he said he would send when ready. Nothing as been received as yet. Sue will follow up if needed. 4.2 Lisa will circulate the draft report (re: Riverwalk interviews) for us to review and comment on. Lisa sent this out prior to the last meeting. 4.3 Sue will do a distribution list (re: calendar) and circulate for input. This was done. Calendars are all out and distributed. 4.4 Kate will check in with our student regarding the research agreement and what still has to be done. Kate will speak to this under 5.3. 4.5 Lisa, Sue and Kate will meet to analyse the data (re: key informants) They have met twice and sorted through the data. Kate and Sue will develop a draft report. 4.6 Kate and Sue will discuss the workplan, in particular planning for work in Dorset. Still to be done. 4.7 Sue or Kate will talk to Heather at U-Links about the potential for students to assist with observation studies. Still to be done. 4.8 Sue will ask Patti at HCDC to forward a cheque for the LIP funds re: the calendar. Jim will check to see if a cheque has arrived. 4.9 Sue will ask about the letter to Dysart regarding accessibility on Highland St and what the response was. According to Carol Browne, they did not get a response, although she said that in the newspaper it was reported that there was nothing that they could do. 4.10 Sue will talk to Rosie about the possibility of sharing an intern with the Local Foods Coalition (now called Harvest Haliburton). In the end it was decided that LFC had enough work on their own for the intern, so this was not pursued further.

5. CURRENT PROJECTS
5.1 Official Plan Review updates Minden Hills: Kate missed the last Planning and Dev’t Committee meeting, but said that the background report was to have been presented then. It will go to council, and then will be made public.
5.2 CLASP Project Lisa should get a summary of case studies sometime this week. These will include information from the logbooks and community profile. Summary of the CIA focus group and healthy policy work will be part of a separate document. The healthy communities literature review draft was sent to Sue, Kate and Jim. Sue reviewed and provided feedback; she said it is a useful document, worth reading if you can find the time. CLASP project wraps up March 31, however there will be some money to spent into June for dissemination of information; more information on this to come. A final report will come back to the committee when the project is finished.
5.3 HC Project – Moving Forward with Active Transportation Calendars have been all distributed via: libraries, Good Food Box, Food banks, partner groups, SIRCH, OEYC, Point in Time, Family Health Team, Community Care. Very positive feedback. Sue also sent to MP and MPP; received a thank you letter back from Barry Devolin. Jim reported a very positive response from the Haliburton Curling Club. The calendar is being pdf’d and will be uploaded shortly to the CIA website. We may want to do some promotion about the online calendar. Action: Sue will follow up with Corey re: his photos
Survey – students have the data and are analyzing it. Kate has been in touch with Kasia about the kind of analysis we are looking for and also how to compare with the 2007 survey. Because the surveys were not exactly the same, some questions will compare more easily than others. There will be a poster presentation at the Celebration of Research in March, with some preliminary results.
Key Informants – Kate and Sue are working on a report, having sorted through the data. Overall, the message is that the work of the CIA has had a positive impact.
Sue submitted a proposal to present at the Complete Streets Forum in Toronto in April, which was accepted. Part of the presentation will include sharing preliminary results of our evaluation (i.e. survey data and key informant interviews). She and Kate will present.
6. BUDGET UPDATE – Jim Jim provided an updated budget. Additions were made based on new funds from the Healthy Communities Partnership (see 7.6)
27. Minutes, Communities in Action, 2012-02-13. Page 361 of 364 Communities in Action Monday, February 13, 2012 Page 3
7. UPDATES
7.1 Riverwalk - Roy The committee received HCDC funding for interpretive signage (something Lisa heard people wanted from her Riverwalk interviews). Riverwalk has been nominated as a Great Public Space as part of a contest by the Canadian Institute of Planners. People can vote online. Cost of lighting has been a concern for the municipality, and they are looking at ways to cut back in order to save.
7.2 Haliburton County Cycling Coalition – Sue, Dick The committee met earlier this month, and had a couple of guests, Jeff from Boatwerks and Andrea from the Haliburton Spin Gym. Both are very enthused about supporting Bike Month activities. Boatwerks will host the SpinDig at the Haliburton store June 1 in partnership with the HHCC. The Cycling Festival will be June 23, with guided rides in the morning and lunch and live music available after. Boatwerks will do a cycling window display starting in late May and into June that will include the Share the Road display.
7.3 Aging Well – Sue This update provided by Angela Andrews. No word yet from New Horizons. Participated in Pool Focus group mtg. Two committee members resigned (one officially) and the other will still participate in some capacity with the housing work. New brochures have been printed. Re: Housing - working with Solterra to see about getting something established in Minden. Have talked with a landowner with the possibility of a potential build on the site. Accessibility: concerns have been raised about Life Labs at the Medical Centre which is accessed by a number of seniors and does not have an accessible door in which to enter. 211 information has been distributed and articles have been in all papers re: 211 and the Aging Well Committee. Falls prevention article recently in the newspaper from the committee. Article submitted to SHRTN (seniors health research transfer network) for newsletter about how Aging Well Committee got started. Will be sent out to all members provincially.
7.4 Haliburton County Community Co-op –Jim If we intend to apply for HCDC funds, we need to let the board know by their next meeting this Wednesday. After some discussion it was decided that we would apply, and that Sue will send an email to Jim to share with the board. Jim is our new liaison to the HCCC board. Harvest Haliburton is the newest committee of the HCCC. Barrie will be the board liaison for this group. Action: Sue will work on LIP application.
7.5 Ontario Healthy Communities Coalition – Lisa No further updates.
27. Minutes, Communities in Action, 2012-02-13. Page 362 of 364 Communities in Action Monday, February 13, 2012 Page 3
7.6 Healthy Communities Partnership – Sue The Ministry notified Health Units in late January that funds would be available for healthy eating and physical activity initiatives only, for activities taking place September 2011 to March 31 2012. Our health unit submitted two workplan proposals, one for the minimum amount, (plan A) and one for about twice that amount (plan B). We are fairly certain that everything in plan A will be approved, so those funds can flow shortly. However, we don’t expect official approval (for either plan) to come back until early March. The CIA will be receiving funds for work on official plans.
7.7 Rural Transportation Options Committee – Kate, Lisa The committee is meeting tomorrow. Contractor has been hired to do research on car and ride share, with funds from HCDC and the Healthy Communities Partnership. The focus is on improving access for healthy eating and physical activity. Student is doing analysis of transportation survey. A new U-Links student will be working on creating a car share toolkit.
7.8 Rail Trail The final workshop was held last Thursday, with about 50 people attending. Survey results were presented, and options were workshopped, looking for agreement. Online survey was released today and is open until Feb 27. People can indicate their support for the various options presented. Final report will be done in March and will be presented to the Economic Development Committee.
8. NEW BUSINESS 8.1 Dorset Healthy Communities Fund application Sue spoke with Melissa Alfano. She is putting together an application for physical activities at the Rec Centre, including starting up a walking club. She asked for our support, and we discussed that it connects well with our project around mapping walking routes etc. Action: Sue will ask Melissa if she wants a letter of support.
8.2 FoRT Pamela made a delegation to Dysart council regarding doing work on integrated trails planning. They agreed to provide a letter of support for her application to HCDC.
8.3 Other Sue spoke to a professor of engineering at the University of British Columbia about the Share the Road project. He is doing a report on education initiatives for vulnerable road users (e.g. pedestrians, cyclists). Sue also corresponded with someone from the Timiskaming Health Unit about share the road, as they are planning a similar initiative there.
