Town of Mono (“Town”) David Germain
Protect Mono Inc. (“Protect”) Chris Barnett
DECISION DELIVERED BY S. TOUSAW AND ORDER OF THE TRIBUNAL
INTRODUCTION
[1] This first Pre-hearing Conference (“PHC”) was held to organize a hearing on the merits of two applications under the Planning Act (“PA”) and the referral by the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry (“MNRF”) of objections to a licence application for aggregates extraction under the Aggregates Resources Act (“ARA”). 3 PL180265
[2] The Applicant seeks approval for the extraction of sand and gravel from a proposed “Violet Hill Aggregate Pit” on 149 hectares of land comprising Part Lots 30, 31 and 32, Concession 4 EHS, Town of Mono.
[3] The Town refused Greenwood’s applications for Official Plan Amendment (“OPA”) and Zoning By-law Amendment (“ZBA”) and Greenwood appealed the Town’s decisions to the Ontario Municipal Board, now the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal.
[4] The Applicant’s request to the MNRF for a Class A Licence under the ARA received 394 objections from concerned citizens (“Objectors”), including Protect.
PARTIES
[5] Protect requests Party status, on consent of the Appellant and the Town. Under the ARA, Protect is already a Party to the licence application. However, to distinguish the role of Protect from the other Objectors noted below, the Tribunal will grant Party status to Protect for the ARA and the PA matters.
[6] Protect satisfies the grounds for Party status under the PA (s. 22(11.0.2) and s. 34(24.2)). Protect made submissions to Council before the decision was made and there are reasonable grounds to add Protect as a Party given that its membership includes area residents and their collective representation will assist in the efficiency of the hearing.
[7] The Parties in the proceeding are Greenwood, the Town and Protect.
CONSOLIDATED HEARING OR HEARD TOGETHER
[8] The Parties jointly request the consolidation of these matters into a single hearing. They assert that a more expedient proceeding will result from the avoidance of duplicate evidence. 4 PL180265
[9] However, the Tribunal finds that the issue raised by the Parties, being expediency, is satisfied by hearing the matters together as contained in Rule 16.03 of the Tribunal’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (“Rules”) rather than consolidating the proceedings under Rule 16.02.
[10] When matters are heard together, “evidence in the hearing is evidence in each proceeding to which it could apply” (Rule 16.02(c)). It is not necessary to parse the hearing into separate matters, and the Tribunal, with the assistance of counsel, will apply the evidence to the relevant matter as appropriate.
[11] At the request of the Parties, the Tribunal had postponed the start of the PHC by 30 minutes to allow the Parties to explain the process to the public in attendance, and to obtain the public’s consent to request Participant status in the proceeding on their behalf. Attachment 1 lists all of the persons present at the PHC as well as persons not present who had authorized another person to represent them. Protect requests, with consent of the other Parties, that all of the listed persons be granted Participant status.
[12] The Tribunal will grant the persons on Attachment 1 Participant status in the PA matters. The Tribunal will also accept their request for Participant status, rather than Party status, in the ARA referral.
[13] Should any of the Participants wish to make a statement to the Tribunal at the hearing, the Tribunal directs that they organize a coordinated presentation, where possible, and select a spokesperson(s). Further direction to Participants will be set out in the Procedural Order (“PO”), when finalized.
PROCEDURAL ORDER (“PO”) AND ISSUES LIST (“IL”)
[14] The Parties are exchanging information through their consultants and counsel. From this work, the Parties intend to develop a scoped IL.
[15] The Parties are aware that an approved draft PO, including an IL, is required prior to the scheduling of hearing dates. The Parties, with their consultants, are directed 5 PL180265 to develop agreed statements of fact and to narrow the issues as much as possible to enable a focussed and expeditious hearing. These matters will be addressed further at the next PHC.
[16] The Parties request a second PHC, as set out in the order below.
ORDER
[17] The Tribunal orders that the matters will be heard together in a single proceeding.
[18] Party status is granted to Protect Mono Inc.
[19] Participant status is granted to the persons listed in Attachment 1.
[20] The next Prehearing Conference will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, May 16, 2019 at:
Town of Mono Municipal Building Council Chambers 347209 Mono Centre Road Mono, Ontario
[21] No further notice will be given.
[22] This Tribunal Member is not seized.
