______Robert Kirby, Warden
______Andrée Latreille, Clerk Pourquoi une augmentation du per diem
«Le but de cette présentation est d’élaborer pourquoi une augmentation du per diem du programme de logements en milieu de soutien (auparavent programme des Centres d’accueil), est nécessaire»
2015-08-20 1 L’importance pour les Comtés Unis du programme d’aide au logement en milieu de soutien
Le programme est un élément intégral de l’Initiative de prévention de l’itinérance dans les collectivités (IPIC), à l’intérieur de la stratégie ontarienne à long terme de fournir du logement abordable et convenable aux citoyens qui en ont besoin.
Le programme apporte de l’aide financière pour le logement aux personnes qui sont parmi les plus vulnérables dans notre société, c’est-à-dire les personnes âgées à faible revenu et les personnes sur le Programme ontarien de soutien pour les personnes handicapées (POSPH), qui ne sont plus en mesure de vivre seules.
Le programme vient en aide à près de 490 résidents dans Prescott et Russell.
Faute d’avoir des centres d'hébergement d'urgence dans les Comtés Unis, le programme devient donc l’outil principal pour combattre l’itinérance et le sans-abrisme dans nos communautés.
Le programme sert aussi à désengorger nos hôpitaux où il en coûte plus de 800 $ par jour pour y demeurer, et à diminuer la demande pour le besoin de places en centre de soins de longue durée. Selon le budget de 2015 des Comtés, le coût de maintenir une personne à la Résidence Prescott Russel se chiffrerait à 296 $ par jour. Notre per diem est à 50 $.
2015-08-20 2 Historique et autres éléments du per diem
Au cours des 6 dernières années, le per diem n’a augmenté qu’en moyenne de 1% par année (2% en avril 2009 et 4.7% en juillet 2013).
Le nombre maximal de résidents permis sur le programme est passé de 515 en 2012 à 490 aujourd’hui.
Le ratio entre les clients sur le POSPH et les personnes âgées est passé de 48% POSPH et 52% personnes âgées en 2012, à 52% POSPH et 48% personnes âgées en 2015. L’importance de cette tendance c’est qu’il en coûte plus cher aux Comtés pour supporter le même nombre de personnes dû au montant plus élevé de subventionner une personne sur le POSPH.
En moyenne, les pensions que reçoivent le personnes subventionnées (sécurité de la vieillesse, invalidité, Plan de régime de retraite du Canada et POSPH), ont augmenté de 2% par année au cours des 4 dernières années. En principe, ces augmentations auraient dû se traduire en une économie annuelle de plus ou moins 40,000 $ pour le programme.
2015-08-20 3 Réalités financières
Les coûts d’opération des résidences continuent de surpasser la moyenne de l’inflation, principalement en ce qui concerne la nourriture, les taxes municipales, l’eau et les égouts, les frais d’entretien, en plus des services essentiels tels chauffage et électricité. Cette réalité financière est transparente dans le budget d’opération de la Résidence Prescott Russell. Pour l’année 2015 seulement, le budget a dû être augmenté de 12 % par rapport à 2014.
Nos études démontrent que depuis 2009, l’ensemble des coûts d’opération des résidences a augmenté d’entre 30 et 45%: Au cours de la dernière année seulement, le prix du boeuf a augmenté de plus de 20%, celui du porc de 12%, les fruits de 6% et les légumes de 4%. Le salaire minimum est passé de 10.25 $ à 11.00 $ l’heure en juin 2014, une augmentation de 7.3%. Une nouvelle augmentation de 0.50¢ (2.25%) entrera en vigueur en octobre de cette année. Les tarifs d’électricité ont augmenté de 4% en 2015. Lorsqu’on y ajoute la fin du crédit de 10% pour le bénéfice de l’énergie propre que l’on recevait, c’est une augmentation réelle de 14% pour 2015. L’implantation en 2013 de la loi sur les maisons de retraite coute 10.42 $ par résident non subventionné par mois et cette nouvelle charge ne cessera pas de croitre. L’introduction de la TVH en 2013 sur des biens et services auparavant non taxés, a elle aussi contribuer à une hausse des coûts d’opération.
2015-08-20 4 Réalités financières (suite)
La plupart des résidences ont jusqu’à janvier 2019 pour procéder à l’installation de gicleurs à un coût moyen de 3.00 $ du pied carré ou 3,500 $ par chambre. Contrairement à ce qui s’est fait au Québec, jusqu’à maintenant l’Ontario n’a annoncé aucune forme d’aide pour l’implantation de cette nouvelle règlementation.
Le gouvernement provincial a approuvé la mise en place d’un fond de pension Ontarien en 2017. Ceci se traduira par une autre augmentation de la masse salariale de l’employeur de 1.9%.
Le coût moyen chargé aux clients non subventionnés pour demeurer en résidence dans la région de Prescott Russell est de 1,750 $ par mois. Comparativement, le per diem est basé sur un montant de 1,520 $ ce qui représente un manque à gagner de 230 $ par résident subventionné par mois.
Une étude sur le coût d’opération des résidences et le per diem par la firme de Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton en novembre 2014, concluait que le per diem n’est pas suffisant pour couvrir les coûts sans cesse croissants selon l’Indice des prix à la consommation, ou encore selon les dépenses de personnel encourus pour le support et les soins fournis aux résidents subventionnés. Leur analyse détaillée concluait à ce moment là que le per diem devrait se situer entre 58.90 $ et 59.32 $, ce qui se traduit par à un montant mensuel de 1,795 $.
2015-08-20 5 Conclusion
Le programme de logements en milieu de soutien est un atout pour les communauté de Prescott et Russell, et essentiel au bien-être de 490 de ses citoyens en particulier.
Le programme génère des économies impressionnantes pour l’ensemble des payeurs de taxes de la province, incluant ceux de Prescott et Russell.
La survie à long-terme du programme de logement en milieu de soutien dépend principalement de sa viabilité financière pour les résidences.
Les coût fixes d’opération des résidences ont explosé au cours des dernières années.
Le montant de per diem alloué au programme en ce moment fait que les résidences qui y participent sont déficitaires en ce qui concerne le coût de fournir les soins et services aux personnes subventionnées. Cette réalité économique est exacerbée pour les résidences avec une concentration élevée de résidents subventionnés.
Le programme est en sérieux péril si rien n’est fait pour augmenter le per diem. Le temps est plus que venu de combler l’écart qui existe entre le per diem d’aujourd’hui et les coûts réels d’offrir l’hébergement et de maintenir des soins et services adéquats pour les aînés à faible revenu et pour les personnes handicapées de Prescott et Russell, qui sont incapables de vivre indépendamment.

Dear Ward
I am writing today to provide you with an update on the initiatives the Ontario government is taking to give municipalities more information and control around local energy planning.
Our government remains committed to building a cleaner energy system in Ontario in a way that respects communities and builds on their collective success. To do that, we know municipalities need a strong voice in the development of energy projects and we continue to take steps to make that happen.
As we continue to implement Ontario’s 2013 Long-Term Energy Plan (LTEP), we have made important changes to increase the role of municipalities in the development of energy projects. I believe that these initiatives and activities demonstrate the Ontario government’s desire to work with municipalities on energy issues.
Regional Electricity Planning
Regional planning is a key feature of the 2013 LTEP. In December, I noted that changes introduced by the Ontario Energy Board fOEB) in 2013 formalized the regional electricity planning process by ensuring that transmitters, distributors and the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) work closely to identify solutions for regional electricity needs and encourage greater municipal involvement and public participation.
I encourage you to visit the IESO’s website at hffp://www.powerauthority.on.ca/power planning/regional-planning or Hydro One’s website at www.hydroone.com/regionalplanning/Pages/home.aspx to learn more about current and upcoming regional planning activities and view a map of Ontario’s electricity regions. 2
To make sure their voices are heard, municipalities willcontinue to be asked to actively participate in electricity planning and siting activities, in particular where integrated plans — which consider conservation first, before generation, transmission and/or distribution options — are being developed.
Planning is already underway or complete in 14 of Ontario’s 21 electricity regions. Planning in the remaining seven regions willbe undertaken by 2018, and all regions will be assessed every five years, or sooner as needed.
As of April2015, the IESO has released eight integrated plans where needs were identified. The IESO may have already engaged your municipality as it develops integrated plans. This presents an opportunity to work directly with the IESO, key electricity stakeholders and the public to contribute to regional-level planning and identify the right solutions for your communities. Alongside this co-ordinated work, I would encourage you to continue planning for your local electricity needs, working with your local distribution company and other partners to do so.
Municipal Energy Plans
In the 2013 LTEP, the province committed to putting conservation first. Putting conservation first means ensuring conservation is the first resource considered before building new generation and transmission facilities, wherever cost-effective. Conservation is the cleanest and cheapest energy resource and it offers consumers a way to mitigate their energy bills.
To continue our efforts to put conservation first, our government is supporting local community energy planning and engaging municipalities through the Municipal Energy Plan (MEP) program.
Launched in 2013, the MEP program supports municipalities’ efforts to better understand their local energy needs, develop plans to meet their goals, and identify opportunities for energy efficiency and clean energy. Municipal Energy Plans are voluntary and look at all energy uses throughout a community including the residential, commercial, transportation, institutional and industrial sectors. This differs from the mandatory Broader Public Sector Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan requirements for municipally-owned buildings under Ontario Regulation 397/11.
For more information about Ontario Regulation 397/11, please see the Broader Public Sector Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plans section below.
MEPs willhelp municipalities: • assess the broader community’s energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; • identify opportunities to conserve, improve energy efficiency and reduce GHG emissions; • consider impact of future growth and options for local clean energy generation; and • support local economic development. 3
I recently sent a leffer to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario clarifying that the MEP program is available to all Ontario municipalities, including large single tier and regional municipalities. The program offers two funding streams: 1. Development of a New Municipal Energy Plan: Successful applicants will receive 50 per cent of eligible costs, up to a maximum of $90,000. 2. Enhancement of an Existing Energy Plan: Successful applicants will receive 50 per cent of eligible costs, up to a maximum of $25,000.
The province is currently funding nine municipalities under the MEP program.
Guidelines and the application form are available at www.energy.gov.on.ca!en! municipal-energy!.
Broader Public Sector (BPS) Energy Conservation and Demand Management (CDM) Plans
Starting in 2013, municipalities and other BPS organizations were requited by regulation to: • report their annual energy consumption and GHG emissions to the province and make that information publicly available; and • develop five-year energy conservation and demand management plans and make those plans publicly available.
The development and implementation of these plans will help municipalities: • reduce their energy consumption and GHG emissions; • free up resources for core activities; • support the development of a MEP; and • demonstrate leadership in sustainability.
All BPS organizations, including municipalities, developed their first CDM Plans in 2014 and should be working toward implementing the energy conservation and demand management measures identified in those Plans. In 2014, 90 per cent of Ontario’s municipalities reported their annual energy consumption and GHG emissions and nearly 80 per cent developed CDM Plans. Those that did not develop plans are encouraged to do so to benefit from improved energy management.
Municipalities are currently working to report their 2013 energy consumption and GHG emissions to the Ministry by July 1, 2015. A number of resources including webinars, videos, guides and tools have been created to help support reporting. Ministry staff have been in touch with officials in your municipality to ensure they are aware of the regulation’s reporting requirements and the resources available to help meet the reporting requirements. Questions about the regulation and its reporting requirements can be sent to [email protected].
Should you wish to speak with ministry staff about the MEP program or the BPS reporting requirements, please feel free to contact Jennifer Block, Director, Conservation Programs and Partnerships Branch, Ministry of Energy by email at [email protected] or by phone at 416-212-9267. 4
Renewable Energy
Building clean, reliable and affordable energy in a way that respects communities is a top priority for Ontario. The province is working with municipalities and renewable energy project developers to help ensure that cost-effective and well-supported projects are developed.
We’re doing this by providing municipalities with a stronger voice in the development of large renewable energy projects.
The IESO consulted extensively with the public, municipalities, Aboriginal communities and other groups on the design of the new Large Renewable Procurement (LRP) program. The LRP’s mandatory engagement requirements are intended to facilitate early relationship-building between the developer and the local community, ensuring local needs and considerations are taken into account before a proposal is even submitted. To meet these requirements, a project developer must develop a community engagement plan, and hold at least one public community meeting and at least one meeting with the local municipality.
The LRP program also includes rated criteria points tor Aboriginal participation and community engagement over and above the mandatory requirements. This points- based system is intended to promote relationship building between the developer and the local municipality, and to provide additional opportunities for communities to raise local needs and considerations. Proponents that can show they have a combination of municipal support, agreements in place with the municipality, and the support of abutting property owners would receive points to increase their likelihood of success in the competitive process.
Information on the LRP program can be found on the IESO’s website at www.ieso.ca/lrp.
The LRP program improves the Feed-In Tariff (FIT) program, developed in 2009. We’re encouraging municipalities to be active participants in FIT, which last year offered more than 300 contracts to projects that had municipal or public sector entity participation.
Municipalities, local distribution companies, universities, colleges, schools, hospitals, long-term care homes, social housing projects and individuals are also eligible to participate in the microFlT program. By the end of 2014, more than 20,000 microFlT projects were online.
More information on the FIT and microFlT programs can be found at

Energy East
On October 30, 2014, TransCanada PipeLines Limited filed its application with the National Energy Board (NEB) to develop its proposed Energy East pipeline, which would carry Alberta crude oil across Ontario into Québec and onward to New Brunswick. 5
The project would have a total length of approximately 4,500 kilometres. As currently proposed, the project involves converting, from natural gas to oil service, one pipeline of the TransCanada Mainline that runs across the prairies and Northern Ontario to North Bay and on to Cornwall. In addition, there would be new oil pipeline construction in Alberta, Ontario (east of Cornwall), Québec and New Brunswick. Within Ontario, there would be approximately 1,928 kilometres of natural gas pipeline converted to oil service and 106 kilometres of new build oil pipeline.
On April 2, 2015, TransCanada wrote a letter to inform the NEB it willmake amendments to its Energy East application. The letter indicated that TransCanada will no longer build a marine oil storage terminal and export facility at Cacouna, Québec and was looking at alternatives. In a separate news release dated April 2, 2015, TransCanada also indicated the Cacouna alteration would contribute to the project’s in-service date being revised to 2020, a delay of almost two years.
Also, on April 2, 2015, TransCanada filed a letter with the NEB indicating that the company may be amending its Eastern Mainline Project application at a future date. As currently proposed, the Eastern Mainline Project is 245 kilometres of new natural gas pipeline between Markham and Cornwall. With Energy East’s conversion of existing natural gas pipeline capacity to oil service, the Eastern Mainline Project is needed to ensure gas customers in eastern Ontario remain adequately supplied. Changes to the scope of the Eastern Mainline Project may have implications for Ontario natural gas consumers.
The NEB is currently reviewing TransCanada’s application to determine the completeness of the filing. The letters filed by TransCanada on April 2, 2015, suggest that the NEB may not be in a position to make a determination on completeness prior to the fourth quarter of 2015. Once the NEB completes its review of the application, it will issue a Hearing Order. The Hearing Order willdetail the NEB’s regulatory process and timelines. The NEB willthen have 15 months to complete the hearing and provide its recommendations to the Federal Cabinet, which willhave three months to review and make the final determination.
The people of Ontario have important interests at stake in the proposed Energy East project and the province has applied to intervene in the NEB’s regulatory process for both Energy East and the related Eastern Mainline Project.
Given the significance of TransCanada’s proposal and to ensure Ontarians have the opportunity to express their views, I asked the OEB to engage with municipalities, First Nation and Métis communities, stakeholders and the public to ensure this project is safe for the people of our province and the environment and beneficial for our economy, and to complete a report based on their findings.
We initiated the OEB process to hear directly from all interested Ontarians. In addition, technical experts engaged by the OEB willhelp inform Ontario’s position on critical matters such as pipeline safety and environmental impacts, and the impact Energy East willhave on Ontario’s natural gas consumers. The province’s perspective on Energy East is that the reliability and pricing of Ontario’s natural gas supply and ensuring the public safety of Ontarians are non-negotiable issues. 6
The consultation phase of the OEB’s process has concluded. The OEB held meetings with communities along the pipeline route in 2014 and 2015. Stakeholder Forums were also held to get a broader perspective on issues like pipeline safety, natural gas market impacts, and the environment. Written submissions from interested parties were due to the OEB on April 24, 2015. The final reports of the technical advisors hired by the OEB have been posted on the OEB’s website at www.ontarioenergyboard .ca!html/oebenergyeast/EEindex.cf m#.VT6YTZTXId U.
At this time, it’s anticipated that the OEB will deliver its final report on Energy East to me in the second quarter of 2015. Ultimately, the OEB report will help inform Ontario’s position on Energy East.
We have made these important changes to increase the role of municipalities in the development of energy projects so that, together, we can fulfilthe vision of the 2013
LTEP. I look forward to continuing to foster a strong working relationship with your municipality on our shared priorities and interests.
Please accept my best wishes.

Rapport de l’auditeur indépendant
Aux membres des Services Communautaires de Prescott et Russell
Nous avons effectué l’audit des états financiers ci-joints des Services Communautaires de Prescott et Russell (l’ « Organisme »), qui comprennent le bilan au 31 mars 2015, et les états des résultats, de l’évolution de l’actif net et des flux de trésorerie pour l’exercice clos à cette date, ainsi qu’un résumé des principales méthodes comptables et d’autres informations explicatives.
Responsabilité de la direction pour les états financiers
La direction est responsable de la préparation et de la présentation fidèle de ces états financiers conformément aux Normes comptables canadiennes pour les organismes sans but lucratif, ainsi que du contrôle interne qu’elle considère comme nécessaire pour permettre la préparation d’états financiers exempts d’anomalies significatives, que celles-ci résultent de fraudes ou d’erreurs.
Responsabilité de l’auditeur
Notre responsabilité consiste à exprimer une opinion sur les états financiers, sur la base de notre audit. Nous avons effectué notre audit selon les normes d’audit généralement reconnues du Canada. Ces normes requièrent que nous nous conformions aux règles de déontologie et que nous planifiions et réalisions l’audit de façon à obtenir l’assurance raisonnable que les états financiers ne comportent pas d’anomalies significatives.
Un audit implique la mise en œuvre de procédures en vue de recueillir des éléments probants concernant les montants et les informations fournis dans les états financiers. Le choix des procédures relève du jugement de l’auditeur, et notamment de son évaluation des risques que les états financiers comportent des anomalies significatives, que celles-ci résultent de fraudes ou d’erreurs. Dans l’évaluation de ces risques, l’auditeur prend en considération le contrôle interne de l’entité portant sur la préparation et la présentation fidèle des états financiers, afin de concevoir des procédures d’audit appropriées aux circonstances, et non dans le but d’exprimer une opinion sur l’efficacité du contrôle interne de l’entité. Un audit comporte également l’appréciation du caractère approprié des méthodes comptables retenues et du caractère raisonnable des estimations comptables faites par la direction, de même que l’appréciation de la présentation d’ensemble des états financiers.
Nous estimons que les éléments probants que nous avons obtenus sont suffisants et appropriés pour fonder notre opinion d’audit.
Opinion
À notre avis, les états financiers donnent, dans tous leurs aspects significatifs, une image fidèle de la situation financière de l’Organisme au 31 mars 2015, ainsi que de ses résultats d’exploitation et de ses flux de trésorerie pour l’exercice clos à cette date, conformément aux Normes comptables canadiennes pour les organismes sans but lucratif.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of the Prescott and Russell Community Services
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Prescott and Russell Community Services (the “Organization”), which comprise the balance sheet as at March 31, 2015, and the statements of operations, changes in net assets and of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Organization as at March 31, 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations.

Mr. Robert Kirby Warden United Counties of Prescott and Russell P.O. Box 304 59 Court Street L'Orignal, ON K0B 1K0 [email protected]
Dear Warden Kirby:
I am writing to inform you that the Ministry of the Attorney General will increase Provincial Offences Act (POA) courts cost recovery rates for adjudication services and the monitoring and enforcing of the POA transfer agreements, effective January 1, 2016.
As you know, when POA responsibilities were transferred to municipalities between 1999 and 2002, they became entitled to the balance of POA fine revenues collected after the remittance of surcharges, special purpose fines and specific related costs incurred by the ministry. The related costs include costs for adjudication services and for monitoring the POA transfer agreements. Under the Act and the transfer agreements, the province is legally entitled to recover these costs.
While justice of the peace resources and their costs have increased dramatically over the past ten years, the adjudication cost recovery rate has not been updated since 2004. Similarly, the cost recovery rate for monitoring the transfer agreements has remained constant at 50 per cent of the ministry’s costs since 2002. This means that the province has been subsidizing the municipal delivery of local court services for many years.
Given the province’s fiscal situation, the ministry is no longer in a position to provide this subsidy. As a result, the ministry plans to increase the adjudication cost recovery rate from $200 to $300 per in-court hour, effective January 1, 2016. The ministry also plans to increase the monitoring cost recovery rate to reflect the full cost of delivering these services, effective January 1, 2016.
Starting in 2016, the ministry will annually review its justice of the peace and monitoring costs to determine if the cost recovery rates need to be adjusted.
… 2 - 2 -
We have been working with municipal stakeholders on a range of initiatives that will reduce municipal POA costs and improve municipal fine collection. We will continue these efforts to mitigate the expected impacts of the planned POA cost recovery updates.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact Jeremy Griggs, Senior Manager, Provincial Offences Act Unit at [email protected] or (613) 536-7253.
We value your continued partnership in delivering a fair and accessible justice system for all Ontarians.
Sincerely,
Lynne Wagner Assistant Deputy Attorney General Ministry of the Attorney General c: Jeremy Griggs, Senior Manager, Provincial Offences Act Unit From: AMO Communications To: Parisien, Stéphane P Subject: Policing Update: Minister Announces Consultations on a New Legislative Framework Date: August 13, 2015 4:18:28 PM
August 13, 2015
Policing Update: Minister Announces Consultations on a New Legislative Framework
Today the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, the Honourable Yasir Naqvi, announced a plan to consult on updating the Police Services Act.
The current legislative framework for policing in Ontario dates back to 1990. It has not been changed significantly in twenty-five years. The Minister announced that the consultation will seek input on how to:
Enhance accountability and strengthen civilian governance of police services boards as well as how to ensure police oversight bodies are effective and have clear mandates.
Improve interactions between police and vulnerable Ontarians, including enhancing frontline responses to those in crisis.
Clarify police duties, modernize training programs and deliver services using a range of public safety personnel.
Develop a provincial framework for First Nations policing to ensure equitable and culturally responsive policing for the province's First Nations communities.
Further information about consultation dates and how the public (and municipalities) can provide their feedback on the new strategy will be available in the coming weeks.
In April, AMO President Gary McNamara provided the Minister with a copy of AMO’s Policing Modernization Report. The Report contains 34 recommendations, with ideas and a vision for the future of how this critical public service can be delivered. Two of the report’s three priority recommendations are captured by the Minister’s announcement. They include: Improve the quality of the existing governance and civilian oversight system.
Make legislative changes to permit the greater transfer of specific functions to civilians or other security providers where appropriate.
More details regarding the Ministry’s consultations are expected within days. The Minister will be addressing municipal delegates at AMO’s upcoming AGM and Annual Conference in Niagara Falls on Wednesday, August 19, 2015.
AMO fundamentally believes in the need to advance the agenda of reform. This imperative is driven by the undeniable need to ensure that all Ontario communities can afford policing, along with all the other public programs and services that keep people not only safe, but healthy.
Ontarians currently pay the highest policing costs in the country. Per capita policing costs in Ontario are $320 per year, well above the national provincial average of $259. For at least a decade, police spending has been growing at three times the rate of inflation.
AMO supports this discussion and encourages municipal participation. Modernized legislation has the potential to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of policing in Ontario.

C’est avec grand plaisir que la FARFO provinciale et régionale ont présenté le programme Sécurité Info Santé (S.I.S.) aux maires des Comtés unis de Prescott- Russell, le mercredi 12 août 2015, à 9h30.
Notre présentation avait pour but de les sensibiliser à la raison d’être ainsi qu’aux objectifs de ce programme géré par la FARFO provinciale et la FARFO régionale de l’Est. À cette occasion, nous avons présenté le projet S.I.S. qui se veut une initiative destinée, entre autre, aux aîné(e)s isolé(e)s des communautés de l’ensemble du territoire de Prescott et Russell. Également, les maires ont pu se familiariser avec l’importance de l’implantation du programme S.I.S. sur le territoire.

6) Having served as a municipal councillor, I know that the process to apply for infrastructure funding is a major—and sometimes frustrating—undertaking. It often entails significant red tape and investments of staff time and resources. Before making those investments, municipalities need some assurance that, based on clear criteria, your application has a reasonable chance of success. You also need to know that your M?P will advocate on your behalf and, most importantly, decision-makers will be receptive to that advocacy no matter if the MPP serves in government or opposition.
The final section of my resolution deals with infrastructure announcements themselves. These announcements must, I believe, be depoliticized in order to address the perception that opposition-held ridings are disadvantaged—or worse yet, being punished—for voting against the government.
If your municipality supports the intent of my resolution, I would encourage you to consider passing a formal resolution to support it. If your Council decides to proceed in this way, I would appreciate receiving a copy of your resolution as soon as possible. Debate on this resolution is scheduled for October 8, 2015.
I would appreciate your views on this matter, and your own experience in your municipality concerning access to provincial infrastructure funds. If you have any feedback on this issue, or if you require any additional information, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 519-272-0660 or by email: [email protected].

Hello Robert, Stephane,
I am following up on Dr. Toth’s message below. Given the warm response we received from EOWC, I’m wondering if your county would be interested in also supporting a motion or resolution, if such an option is available.
Similar to the motion passed at the June 26 EOWC meeting, we are requesting that you support the Ontario Medical Association and Ontario doctor’s call for the provincial government to: - reverse its new policy restricting the number of family physicians that can join family health networks and organizations; and - fully-fund the health care system, accounting for the demand for care of Ontario’s aging and growing population.
We then request that you send a copy of the resolution to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the Honourable Eric Hoskins, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care; and the Honourable Deb Matthews, President of the Treasury Board.
We would gladly assist you in drafting the motion, simply respond to this email and I will get back to you shortly.
Ontario’s doctors truly appreciate you putting patients first.
Thank you, Derek
From: Sheffield, Lorraine On Behalf Of Toth, Michael Sent: July-07-15 2:28 PM To: Sheffield, Lorraine Cc: McNama, Matt Subject: Thank you on behalf of Ontario’s doctors
Good afternoon,
I would like to thank you for listening to and helping to address the concerns of Ontario’s doctors at the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus meeting on Friday June 26.
By passing the motion supporting the position of Ontario’s doctors, EOWC is delivering a message to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, Treasury Board and the Premier that they must put patients first. In doing so, you are joining other communities across Ontario that have demanded the best medical care for their constituents.
As a follow up, I would like to request that EOWC members raise these critical concerns with their local councils. The OMA will be attending the 2015 Association of Municipalities of Ontario Conference in August and would be pleased to meet with you there to discuss these opportunities further. A staff member from the OMA will be in contact with you shortly to arrange a time that might work with your schedule.
Thank you once again for your time at the EOWC meeting and I look forward to our continued collaboration in ensuring patients in your community can get the care they need.
Sincerely,
Dr. Mike Toth President Ontario Medical Association
RESOLUTION
DATE: June 26, 2015
SUBJECT: Provincial policy restrictions on local family physicians

PURPOSE
The purpose of this Amendment is to revise the Official Plan in accordance with a comprehensive review (5-year review) undertaken as required per Section 26 of the Planning Act RSO 1990, Chapter P. 13.
LOCATION
The Amendment changes a number of general policies and maps which affect the entire geographic area of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell.
BASIS
The Planning Act requires municipalities to undertake a comprehensive review of their Official Plan not less frequently than every five years after the plan comes into effect.
The Plan is modified to include enabling policies provided by Bill 51, The Planning and Conservation Land Statute Law Amendment Act, 2006. The growth outlook forecast policies and associated settlement area land requirements have also been modified as per a Growth forecast and Land Need Analysis completed by Hemson Consulting (December 2012). Mineral aggregate resources have also been updated in accordance with an Aggregate Resources Inventory Master Plan completed by Stantec (May 2014). All of the textual and schedule amendments approved since 2006 are also included.
The Planning Act requires that decisions of Council must be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement. As such it is important that the Official Plan be reviewed to ensure that land use planning policies meet the intent of Section 3 of the Planning Act.
The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing is the approval authority for County Official Plan.

As stated in the Hemson Consulting Ltd. report, the distribution of County-wide growth to the local municipalities is based on historic building permits from Statistics Canada, adjusted for expected shifts in the pattern of growth arising from migration patterns. It is anticipated that migration from the City of Ottawa will continue to be a key driver of growth both in terms of the overall amount and its distribution within the County. The results are shown in Table 2. Table 2 Reference Forecast Population Distributed by Municipality

2.1.1.2 Housing Unit Forecast Current planning initiatives to limit the amount of new urban lands to accommodate growth in City of Ottawa may further increase development pressure in the surrounding regional market area, in particular in the western portion of the County. The remaining
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 5 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. communities in the east are for the most part falling behind and as a result are forecast to grow more slowly given their greater distance from the influence of growth in the Ottawa metropolitan area. The local municipal housing unit forecast reflects the anticipation that Ottawa commuter based development pressure will continue in coming decades. The results are shown in Table 3.

2.1.1.3 Employment Forecast The County is an exporter of labour with just over 50% of the total resident employed labour force living and working in the community. The eastern areas of the County enjoy a fairly high ratio which evens out in the central parts of the County. The ratio
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 6 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. drops, however, to just over 30% in the western parts of the County, the result of commuting to job opportunities concentrated in the City of Ottawa. The employment forecast is shown in Table 4, and includes the usual “place of work” employment, “no fixed place of work” and “work at home” components.

10. 2.1.2 – Growth Amend Section 2.1.2 by: Targets a) Deleting the second paragraph of text and replacing it with the following: “A ratio of 85-15 urban and community / rural split has been established for the western portion of the County, including Casselman and Wendover. For the remainder of the County a ratio of 70-30 urban and community / rural split has been established. In essence it is the objective of the Official Plan to guide 85% of the housing unit growth allocated to the urban and community policy areas in an effort to direct mainly Ottawa-based suburban housing development to existing settlement areas and 15% or less to the Rural Policy Area. For the remainder of the County,
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 8 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. 70% of the housing unit growth is directed to the urban and community policy areas, reflecting the more limited demand for housing and 30% or less to the Rural Policy Area. The 85-15 and 70 – 30 splits are reflective of the Plan’s overall objective of encouraging growth in existing communities.”; and b) Adding the words “85-15 and” following the word “the” in the first sentence of the fourth paragraph; and c) Adding the following text as a new subsection immediately following the fifth paragraph:
“2.1.2.1 Residential Intensification Intensification is the process of creating complete communities that utilize existing services and infrastructure efficiently and minimize the impact on our environment. Complete communities are envisioned to be vibrant, healthy, safe and able to sustain mixed-use that reduce the reliance on the private automobile and encourage active modes of transportation and increased walkability. This is achieved by locating the majority of homes, jobs, shops, institutions and services in proximity to each other. Intensification involves more than developing higher density residential dwellings, it encompasses social and economic improvement that will create communities that effectively respond to the needs of residents and employees. Significant opportunities exist for intensification within the Urban Policy Areas which intends to retain small town character and revitalize downtown areas. Intensification targets are established to ensure that opportunities for new development in the Urban Policy Area’s built-up area are not overlooked due to a focus on greenfield development. The opportunities for intensification could be significant based on a review of the lands available for development, proposals in the development approvals process, and plans of subdivision that have been registered. It shall be the policy of Council that: 1. A portion of the County’s future housing needs shall be provided through residential intensification, which may include any of the following:
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 9 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. a) small scale intensification through modifications to an existing dwelling to include a second unit or construction of a new building containing one or two units; b) infill development and residential development of vacant land or underutilized land in the Urban Policy Area’s built-up area; c) redevelopment which includes either the replacement of existing residential uses with compatible new residential developments at a greater density or the replacement of nonresidential uses with compatible residential or mixed use development with a residential component; d) re-use or redevelopment of brownfields and greyfield; e) added housing above commercial uses in and near the downtown, in residential transition areas, and in other main commercial areas; and/or f) modest intensification in stable residential areas respecting the character of the area. Stable residential areas are considered to be established areas generally consisting of predominantly low density housing on local roads with the built boundary; 2. The County shall monitor the level of residential development within the built-up area, and the number of new units created that represent residential intensification. The County shall target that 15 percent of all new residential units created during the planning period shall be through intensification. This 15 percent target applies to both general intensification and the minimum target that should be met prior to considering a settlement area expansion. 3. The local municipality shall consider applications for infill development, intensification and redevelopment of sites and buildings based on the following criteria: a) the proposed development lands are appropriately suited for intensification in the context of the surrounding neighbourhood and the local municipality as a whole; b) the road network can accommodate the traffic generated;
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 10 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. c) the proposed development is consistent with the policies of the appropriate land use designation associated with the land; d) the proposal respects and reinforces the existing physical character of the buildings, streetscapes and parks and open space areas; e) the proposal is compatible with the surrounding development; f) the proposal provide heights, massing and scale appropriate to the site and compatible with adjacent lands; g) the proposal provides adequate privacy, sunlight and views of the sky for existing and new residents; h) the proposal screens loading and service areas; i) the conservation of significant cultural heritage resources; and j) the proposal complies to the appropriate urban design and built form policies of this Plan and of the local municipality’s Official Pan. 4. The local municipality shall ensure that a proposal representing residential intensification can be satisfactorily integrated with the physical characteristics of residential and commercial areas and proper health and safety standards are maintained. Land use compatibility and urban design assessments may be required as a component of the planning rationale report accompanying development applications, as outlined under Section 7 of this Plan. 5. Small scale intensification shall be permitted in all Urban and Community Policy Areas, as designated by this Plan, except where infrastructure is inadequate or there are significant physical constraints. 6. The number of units proposed for intensification proposals shall be viable from a market perspective. 7. The timing of the expansion and the phasing of development within the designated growth area will not adversely affect the achievement of the intensification target and density targets set out in this Section and the other policies of this Plan. 8. The local municipality shall ensure that the progression of development within designated growth area will not adversely affect the timely provision of the
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 11 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. infrastructure and public service facilities required to meet the current and projected needs. 11. 2.1.3 - Objectives Amend Section 2.1.3 by: a) Adding in Policy 2 the words “85-15 of growth distribution for the western portion of the Counties and a” between the words “to achieve a” and “70-30”; and b) Adding in Policy 2 the words “for the eastern portion of the Counties” between the words “distribution” and “in accordance with”. c) Adding two new objectives, to be numbered 12 and 13, as follows: “12. Development shall protect cultural heritage resources. 13 The Community Policy Area boundaries will be reduced, where justified, at the time of a comprehensive review for a proposed Urban Policy Area boundary expansion.” 12. 2.2.1 - General Amend Section 2.2.1 by adding the word “City,” following the words “applies to” in the first sentence of the first paragraph. 13. 2.2.2 – Urban Policy Amend Section 2.2.2 by: Area Boundaries a) Deleting the second and third sentences in the first paragraph and replacing them by the following: “These areas reflect the boundaries of settlement areas as rationalized by local municipalities to accommodate residential growth pressure focused in the western portion of the County and along the major transportation routes providing access to employment opportunities in the Ottawa area. The current settlement area expansions was established within the context of the land capacity analysis described in the ‘Growth Forecast and Land Needs Analysis - United Counties of Prescott and Russell’ dated December 2012 prepared by Hemson Consulting Ltd. while achieving a no-net-addition result.”; and b) Adding two new paragraphs, after the first paragraph, as follows: “To achieve this result, the local municipalities reduced the community policy areas where significant surplus of land supply was shown and declassified the community policy area where very limited growth was anticipated over the period.
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 12 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. There is a potential need of expansion in the Township of Russell during the next 5- year review. There are currently more units in registered and draft approved plans than are forecast to be accommodated in the Township of Russell over the entire period to 2035. The presence of this unit supply does suggest that the community has the potential to significantly outpace growth expectations as per the ‘Growth Forecast and Land Needs Analysis - United Counties of Prescott and Russell’. When the Township of Russell reviews their local Official Plan or proceeds with a local comprehensive review, the preferred option is to go through a boundary exercise within their municipality for each settlement areas. If the review demonstrates a shortfall and it is recognized that boundaries expansions are justified, the United Counties will provide this boundary expansion at the next 5-year review.”; and c) Adding a capital “S” to correct the spelling of the word “Sections” in the second paragraph; and d) Deleting the reference to Section “7.7.4” and replacing it with “7.8.5”. 14. 2.2.3 – Urban Policy Amend Section 2.2.3 by: Area Boundary a) Numbering the first paragraph “1”; Expansions b) Replacing the numbers of policies 1. to 5. by the letters a) to e); c) Deleting the last paragraph starting by “Urban Policy Area boundaries” with policies 1. and 2., in its entirety; and d) Adding two additional policies, to be numbered 2-3, as follows: “2. Urban Policy Area boundaries may be expanded if it has been demonstrated through a comprehensive review that: a) sufficient opportunities for growth are not available through intensification, redevelopment and designated growth areas to accommodate the projected needs over the identified planning horizon; b) the infrastructure and public service facilities which are planned or available are suitable for the development over the long term, are financially viable over their life cycle, and protect public health and safety and the natural environment; c) in prime agricultural areas;
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 13 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. i. the lands do not comprise specialty crop areas; ii. alternative locations have been evaluated, and 1. there are no reasonable alternatives which avoid prime agricultural areas; and 2. there are no reasonable alternatives on lower priority agricultural lands in prime agricultural areas; d) the new or expanding settlement area is in compliance with the minimum distance separation formulae; and e) impacts from new or expanding settlement areas on agricultural operations which are adjacent or close to the settlement area are mitigated to the extent feasible.
3. In determining the most appropriate direction for expansion to the boundaries of urban policy areas by a planning authority, a planning authority shall apply the PPS policies of Section 2: Wise Use and Management of Resources and Section 3: Protecting Public Health and Safety.”

The determination of sufficient reserve sewage system capacity shall include treatment capacity for hauled sewage from private communal sewage services and individual on-site sewage services. Hauled sewage from development can be treated or disposed of at sites approved under the Environmental Protection Act of the Ontario Water Resources Act, but not by land-applying untreated, hauled sewage.” 18. 2.2.7 – Residential Amend Subsection 2.2.7 by: 2.2.6 Policies a) Renumbering the subsection as subsection 2.2.6; b) Numbering the first paragraph as “1.” and renumbering policies “1 to 4” as “a) to d)”; c) Adding the following text immediately following the word “types” in policy b): “to satisfy a broad range of residential requirements and ensure that affordable housing is available, but low rise and low density housing forms such as single- detached and semi-detached dwelling units shall continue to predominate;”; d) Adding in paragraph 1. additional policies after d) to be numbered as follows: “e) To encourage the addition of housing above commercial uses in and near the downtown, in residential transition areas, and in other main commercial areas; f) To support the development, at appropriate locations and densities, of residential facilities that meet the housing needs of persons requiring specialized care; g) To manage the rate of growth and the amount of residential development within the urban centre in order to maintain and enhance the small town character; h) To encourage residential developments which incorporate innovative and appropriate design principles which contribute to public safety, affordability, energy conservation and that protect, enhance and properly manage the natural environment;

The approval of site- specific radio and telecommunication facilities is governed by the Client Procedures Circular (CPC 2-0-03 Issue 4, entitled “Radiocommunication and Broadcasting Antenna Systems”). The role of Industry Canada is to implement the provisions of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and ensure that applicants for radio authorization involving significant antenna structures disclose their plans to the local municipalities and that the process operates in a timely fashion. Industry Canada does not require the participation of the County in this process. The County does not have the authority to prohibit the establishment of such facilities, if approved by the federal government. Applicants for radio communication facilities, such as antenna structures and related facilities are required to consult with the local municipalities regarding the design and location for future antenna sites. Applicants are required to: a) notify the County and the local municipalities regarding the intent to establish a new radio communication facility; and b) provide the local municipalities with the requirement for the establishment of such a facility, the reasons for the proposed location; and, a review of alternative locations
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 42 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. considered and reasons for their rejection, including associated costs, pattern coverage and safety. In the event that the local municipalities oppose a radio communication facility, the local municipalities may provide Industry Canada with a report outlining their reasons for objection within 60 days of receiving official notice of the intent to establish such a structure. Applicants and antenna structure owners are intended to work cooperatively to allow for the sharing of antenna structures so as to minimize their numbers and impact. Local municipalities are encouraged to establish policies in regards to the consideration of applications for telecommunication communication facilities.” 58. 4.2 – Agricultural Amend Section 4.2 by deleting in its entirety Subsections 4.2.3 to 4.2.6 and replacing them Resource Policy with the following new policies: Area “4.2.3 Permitted Uses The Agricultural Resource Policy Area shall permit many forms of agricultural uses, secondary uses and agriculture-related uses on lands designated as Agricultural Resource Policy Area on Schedule A, in order to take advantage of its proximity to urban areas and markets. 1 Primary Permitted Uses Within areas designated Agricultural Resource Policy Area on Schedule ‘A’, the primary permitted use of the land shall be for the growing of crops, including nursery and horticultural crops; raising of livestock; raising of other animals for food, fur or fibre, including poultry and fish; aquaculture; apiaries; agro-forestry, sod farming; maple syrup production; forestry and associated on-farm buildings and structures, including accommodation for full-time farm labour when the size and nature of the operation requires additional employment. Unless otherwise zoned to preclude the construction of a dwelling, a residential dwelling is a permitted use. 2. Secondary Uses Secondary uses in the Agricultural Resource Policy Area designation include uses secondary to the principal use of the property which are compatible with and shall
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 43 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. not hinder surrounding agricultural operations, including but not limited to, home occupations, bed and breakfast establishments, home industries, forestry related uses and uses that produce value-added agricultural products from the farm operation on the property. Secondary uses could include herb gardens, farm gate sales, kennels and craft shops. Notwithstanding, residential uses being permitted as a primary agricultural use, as outlined in section 4.2.3.1, secondary residential units are also permitted within detached, semi-detached and row houses as well as in ancillary structures. 3. Agricultural-Related Uses Agriculture-related uses in the Agricultural Resource Policy Area designation includes uses such as, feed mill or seed cleaning plants, livestock assembly points, grain drying, animal husbandry services, storage for farm produce, abattoirs, custom machinery operators, or similar agri-businesses. These uses may be permitted upon lands designated as Agricultural Resource Policy Area provided it has been demonstrated that there are no reasonable alternative locations which avoid Agricultural Resource Policy Area designated lands and that there are no reasonable alternative locations within the Agricultural Resource Policy Area designation with lower priority agricultural lands. Such uses shall be placed in a separate zoning category. Agriculture-related tourist commercial uses or agri-tourism uses such as farm vacations, wineries and pick-your-own, catch-your-own operations are also permitted. 4. Other Permitted Uses A single detached dwelling is a permitted use on a lot in an Agricultural Resource Policy Area designation, provided there are no specific zoning restrictions to the contrary (such as on a new lot created through a surplus dwelling severance that would have been zoned to preclude the construction of a dwelling). As well, a maximum of two accessory dwelling units may be permitted. Additional dwelling units established through this provision would not be eligible for severance.
4.2.4 Policies
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 44 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. 1. An amendment to the Official Plan will be required to change the designation from Agricultural Resource Policy Area to another designation. Any decision affecting the removal of Agricultural lands shall be consistent with the criteria established in the policy statements issued under the Planning Act. 2. Within the Agricultural Resource Policy Area designation, there may be small pockets of land which are marginally productive or of lower priority for agriculture due to their size, shape, topography, soil, class, drainage and other physical characteristics. However, these physical limitations and site characteristics alone do not merit consideration for an Official Plan amendment to a non-agricultural designation. 3. New land uses, and new or expanding livestock facilities shall comply with the minimum distance separation (MDS) formulae and Section 4 of this Plan. Specific regulations related to the implementation of the MDS Guidelines shall be identified in the local Zoning By-law. 4. Permitted farm related commercial or industrial uses will be subject to Site Plan Control, as outlined in Section 7.4.3 of this Plan. In addition, local Councils may require a preliminary site plan as part of the application for a Zoning By-law amendment. 5. When considered necessary, Council may seek the advice of government agencies or individuals having appropriate specialist knowledge in matters concerning the potential effects of any proposed farm related commercial or industrial use. In accordance with comments received from government agencies and/or other expert opinion, Council may impose building controls in the development or site plan agreement. 6. Consents in the Agricultural Resource Policy Area designation shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.4.2. 7. An existing lot of record in an Agricultural Resource Policy Area designation may be used for residential purposes in accordance with the relevant provisions of the local Zoning By-law and in accordance with the following criteria: a) one single detached dwelling and accessory structures are permitted on each conveyable lot;
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 45 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. b) such lot is of an appropriate size and shape and the dwelling can be serviced with private sewage disposal and water services; c) such lot has frontage on a public road which is maintained on a year round basis; d) complies with other relevant policies of this Plan; and e) complies with the policies of Section 7 regarding Minimum Distance Separation Formulae. 8. A second dwelling (attached or detached) is permitted for full time farm help on the same lot as the principal dwelling. The second dwelling may be a permanent dwelling or a temporary mobile home which shall be removed once the full time farm help is no longer required. 11. Where any mineral aggregate and/or petroleum operations take place within areas designated Agricultural Resource Policy Area, on Class 1, 2 or 3 soils according to the Canada Land Soil Capability for Agriculture, it may be a requirement of Council, that appropriate rehabilitation for agricultural purposes is carried out. Agricultural rehabilitation, where extraction of mineral aggregate resources has been permitted as an interim use, shall occur in accordance with Section 4.3.8. 12. Impacts from any new or expanding non-agricultural uses on surrounding agricultural operations and lands should be mitigated to the extent feasible. 13. The creation of new residential lots in the Agricultural Resource Policy Area designation are not permitted except in accordance with Section 7.4.2.3.2 of this Pan.
4.2.5 Land Stewardship, Sustainable Operations and Nutrient Management 1. Agricultural operations will be subject to the Nutrient Management Act, 2002 regulated by the province under Bill 81. Bill 81 provides for the management of materials containing nutrients in ways that shall achieve optimal crop yields and product quality, manage input costs and enhance the protection of soils and water resources. It provides for a sustainable future for agricultural operations and rural development. 2. Agricultural operations shall be encouraged to operate their business under best management practices and to participate in farmer-led stewardship initiatives,
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 46 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. such as the Environmental Farm Plan, which protect the long term productivity of soils and minimize or eliminate negative environmental impacts. In order to minimize negative impacts on water bodies, agricultural operations are encouraged to maintain appropriate setbacks or buffer strips from water bodies. 59. 4.2 – Agricultural Amend Section 4.2 by: Resource Policy a) Deleting in its entirety Subsection 4.2.8; and Area b) Moving Subsection 4.2.9 to the end of Subsection 4.2.5 and renumbering it as 4.2.6. 60. 4.2.7 – Site Specific Amend Subsection 4.2.7 by adding in policy 3 after the first sentence the following Exceptions sentence: “In addition to the above noted uses, non-residential uses such as commercial retail and service uses, office uses and uses which meet the needs of the travelling public or which relate to local resources shall also be permitted.” 61. 4.3 – Mineral Amend Section 4.3 by deleting in its entirety the section and by replacing it with the Aggregate Resource following: Policy Area “4.3.1 Basis General Mineral resources in United Counties of Prescott and Russell consist of aggregates such as sand, gravel, limestone and Queenston formation shale. There are no known reserves of other minerals or petroleum resources. Aggregate resources are important to all facets of development in the United Counties as these non-renewable materials are used in the construction of roads, water and sewer infrastructures, homes, schools and commercial buildings and landscaping projects.
Sand, gravel and crushed rock are a non-renewable resource and as such policies must be developed to ensure an adequate supply for future generations. This Plan therefore contains policies to protect mineral aggregate resources from incompatible development.
The Plan focuses on protecting existing extraction operations as the primary source of future supplies. Continued operation of these sites can be achieved by ensuring the appropriate zoning and by ensuring that thorough review of development proposals located in the vicinity of existing extraction operations as described in Section 4.3.7 to ensure that they do not preclude continued extraction activities.
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 47 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. The Plan also identifies lands as Sand - Gravel Resources, Bedrock and Sand - Gravel Resources and Bedrock Resources which are located in relation to community, infrastructure and natural heritage features such that they have good potential to be extracted with minimal impact on the adjacent land uses. New pits or quarries will be permitted in these policy areas, development proposals in the vicinity of these areas will be thoroughly reviewed to ensure they do not preclude future extraction activities.
4.3.2 Mineral Aggregate Resource Areas Licensed Pit and/or Quarry Pits and quarries licensed under the Aggregate Resources Act have been designated on Schedule A as Licensed Pit and/or Quarry, on the basis of information provided by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. 4.3.3 Permitted Uses The permitted uses on lands designated Licensed Pit and/or Quarry are: 1. Uses legally existing as of the date of this official plan; 2. Agricultural uses excluding any accessory building or structure; 3. Forestry uses excluding any accessory building or structure; 4. Conservation and natural resource management uses excluding any accessory building or structure; 5. Wayside pits and quarries; and 6. Portable asphalt plants and portable concrete plants. 7. Pits and quarries; 8. Uses accessory to an aggregate extraction operation such as crushing and screening operations, machinery storage facilities and office space. Accessory uses must also be in accordance with the ARA licences and site plans; and 9. Permanent asphalt and concrete plants may be permitted subject to site specific zoning and must be in accordance with the ARA licences and site plans. No other use shall be permitted without amendment to the Plan.
4.3.4 Prohibited Uses Development, including changes in land use and the creation of new lots for residential, commercial, institutional, recreational or industrial development which has the potential to preclude or hinder future aggregate extraction or the expansion of existing extraction operations or resource use shall be prohibited within the Licensed Pit and/or Quarry designation.
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 48 of 140 4.3.5 New or Expanded Licenced Pits and Quarries A) Inside Identified Resource Areas on Schedule E Provided all applicable policies of this Plan are met, the establishment of a new licensed operation or the enlargement of an existing licensed extraction operation shall be permitted subject to the requirements of the Aggregate Resources Act, R.S.O. 1990 as amended, and if required, an amendment to the local zoning by-law.
B) Outside identified Resource Areas on Schedule E. Extraction of mineral aggregate resources may be permitted where it is demonstrated through an Official Plan amendment that the said resource is not constrained and is of sufficient quantity and quality to warrant extraction as demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Province, the Counties and the local municipality, subject to the policies of this Plan. It shall also be subject to the requirements of the Aggregate Resources Act, R.S.O. 1990 as amended and if required, an amendment to the local zoning by-law which may be processed concurrently with the Official Plan amendment.
4.3.5.1 Mineral Aggregate Resource Areas Constraints Mineral Aggregate Resource Areas which are not currently licensed have been identified on Schedule E as a land use constraint based on provincial information and The Aggregate Resources Inventory Master Plan. These areas are identified in the Official Plan as they are deemed essential for the long term supply of aggregates for the United Counties of Prescott and Russell due to the presence of known aggregate deposits and are categorized as follows:
1. Mineral Aggregate Resource Area – Bedrock Resource 2. Mineral Aggregate Resource Area – Bedrock and Sand - Gravel Resource 3. Mineral Aggregate Resource Area - Sand - Gravel Resource
The policies governing development in the mineral aggregate resource areas are: a) The establishment of single dwellings and accessory buildings on existing lots of record shall be permitted, subject to all of the relevant policies of this Plan and the following conditions: i) The lot fronts on a public road; ii) The lot as it existed as of December 31, 2015; iii) The use is shown as permitted in the Zoning By-law; iv) All requirements for private servicing requirements are met; v) New development will be sited on existing lots in order to minimize the impact upon future extraction of mineral aggregate resources.
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 49 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No.
b) Development, including changes in land use and the creation of new lots for residential, commercial, institutional, recreational or industrial development in areas located within Mineral Aggregate Resource Areas, which would preclude or hinder the establishment of mineral aggregate operations or access to the resources, will be prohibited except where: i) extraction of the resource would not be feasible; or ii) the proposed land use or development serves a greater long-term public interest; and iii) issues of public health, safety and environmental impact are appropriately addressed.
c) The amount of land required for any new development proposed under Section 4.3.5.1 b) will be minimized to retain as much of the mineral aggregate resource potential as possible;
d) Encourage the recovery of mineral aggregate resources through the sequential use of developable land, whereby mineral aggregate resources are extracted prior to, or in conjunction with, development of the land;
4.3.5.2 New or Expanded Mineral Aggregate Resource Areas New mineral aggregate resources may be identified on Schedule E where it is demonstrated through an Official Plan amendment that the said resource is not constrained, is of sufficient quantity and quality to warrant extraction and that there are no negative impacts on significant natural heritage features or land uses present that based on the policies of this Plan would take priority over consideration of extraction.
4.3.6 Supporting Information requirements for New Pits and Quarries within Mineral Aggregate Resource Areas The United Counties and local municipalities will address land use, transportation and other municipal planning considerations with respect to conformity to the official plan policies and local zoning by-law as part of a Planning Act process and ARA License. In considering these matters, the evaluation will be premised on the fact that, notwithstanding the need for mineral aggregate, it is essential to ensure that aggregate extraction is carried out with minimal social and environmental disruption.
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 50 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. In addition to the zoning by-law application pursuant to the Planning Act, proposals to establish a pit or quarry shall be accompanied by the technical reports and site plans prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Aggregate Resources Act and regulation (Provincial Standards). These studies and the site plans required under the Aggregate Resources Act ensure that the effects on the natural environment and other resources and existing development are fully considered prior to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry approving a license for the establishment of new or expanded pit or quarry. Information required under the ARA, as is determined to be appropriate considering the type of extraction proposed, includes: 1. Summary report outlining: a. Quality and quantity of aggregate on site; b. Adjacent and nearby land uses and an assessment of the compatibility of the proposal with existing land uses. c. Main haulage routes and proposed truck traffic to and from the site; d. Proposed water diversion, storage and drainage facilities on site and point of discharge to surface waters; e. Established groundwater table within the site. 2. Site Plans detailing the manner in which the operation will be carried out and nature of the rehabilitation work that is proposed; 3. Technical reports assessing the effects of the operation on the environment and resources, including a. Cultural heritage b. Hydro-geology: ground and surface water c. Natural heritage d. agriculture 4. Technical reports demonstrating that the anticipated noise, dust and vibration levels satisfy the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change guidelines and criteria. Once a resource area within the Mineral Aggregate Resource Area has been rezoned and licensed through the ARA process to permit a pit and/or quarry, the County shall undertake an administrative update to the Schedule A to designate the new operation as Licensed Pit and/or Quarry.
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 51 of 140 4.3.7 Adjacent Land The concept of an influence area is recognized as a means of protecting against encroachment and incompatible land uses in the vicinity of Mineral Aggregate Resource Areas. The creation of new residential lots or similar sensitive land uses shall be discouraged within 150 metres of a Licensed Pit and/or Quarry. In areas located within 300 metres of Mineral Aggregate Resource Areas as per Schedule A and E intended or utilized for a licensed pit operation and 500 metres of Mineral Aggregate Resource Areas as per Schedule A and E intended or utilized for a licensed quarry operation, incompatible development, including the creation of new lots shall only be permitted subject to the following criteria: 1. Adjacent to areas intented or utilized for a licensed quarry operation, an hydrogeological investigations conducted by a qualified professional conclusively demonstrate that the proposed non extraction development can be adequately serviced by water and sewer services in a manner which will not impede continued existing and proposed extraction operations. 2. Any other investigation as required by the development approval authority such as traffic studies, noise studies, vibration studies, slope stability studies, air quality impact studies etc. are carried out and demonstrate that the proposed development can proceed without impeding the continued operation of the licensed extraction operation existing licensed operations and future operations on reserves. Such studies are to be carried out by qualified professionals.
4.3.7.1 Site Specific Exception
Lots 13, 14, 15 Concession XI within the City of Clarence-Rockland (in the former Township of Clarence) are adjacent to an area designed as a Mineral Aggregate Resource Policy Area (Limestone Resource Area) in the Ottawa Official Plan and as such the policies of 4.3.7 shall apply to these lands.
4.3.8 Mineral Aggregate Resource Extraction and Agricultural Resources Where aggregate resource extraction takes place in prime agricultural areas, on prime agricultural land, extraction of mineral aggregates is permitted as an interim use provided that the site will be rehabilitated back to an agricultural condition. Complete rehabilitation is not required if:
a) There is a substantial quantity of mineral aggregates below the water table warranting extraction; or the depth of planned extraction in a quarry makes restoration of pre-extraction agricultural capability unfeasible;
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 52 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. b) Other alternatives have been considered by the applicant and found unsuitable. The consideration of other alternatives shall include resources in areas of Canada Land Inventory Class 4 to 7 lands, resources on lands identified as designated growth areas, and resources on prime agricultural lands where rehabilitation is feasible. Where no other alternatives are found, prime agricultural lands shall be protected in this order of priority; specialty crop areas, Canada Land Inventory Classes 1, 2 and 3 lands; and
c) Agricultural rehabilitation in remaining areas will be maximized.
4.3.9 Mineral Aggregate Resource Extraction and Significant Natural Heritage Features Where there is an overlap with Natural Heritage areas and features identified in this official plan, the landform specific land use policies identified in Section 5.5 of this plan shall also apply.
Where the extraction of aggregate material from a Significant Woodland area is justified in accordance with 5.5.6.1 of this official plan, the cutting of woodland to facilitate the extraction shall as much as possible minimize woodland cutting and maximize progressive rehabilitation back to woodland as soon as possible following the exhaustion of the mineral aggregate resource. Further, the permitted mineral aggregate extraction must be carried out in a manner which is environmentally sensitive to the remaining woodland area.
4.3.10 Rehabilitation of Extraction Sites Mineral Aggregate operations shall be progressively rehabilitated or restored to a condition permitting agriculture, promoting regeneration of natural conditions or facilitating another use permitted by this Plan. Reuse plans shall be developed in co-operation with local municipalities and the public.
Licensed Pit and/or Quarry that have been surrendered and have been fully rehabilitated may be re-designated to their former land use designations or for other land uses compatible with adjacent resource uses where applicable. Under this circumstance the County will not require the proponent to amend the Official Plan; instead the Plan will be amended to accurately reflect the new use at the time of the next comprehensive Official Plan update or through an administrative Official Plan amendment.
4.3.11 Wayside Pits and Quarries and Portable Asphalt and Portable Concrete Plants Wayside pits and quarries and portable asphalt and portable concrete plants required for public authority road contracts will be permitted, without an amendment to this Official Plan or local
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 53 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. zoning in all areas except within the Urban Policy Area, the Community Policy Area and Natural Heritage Policy Area features as identified on Schedule A and Schedule B.
4.3.12 Zoning and Development Control The municipality may use zoning, holding provisions or interim control by-laws to control the location of mineral aggregate extraction operations. The licensed extraction area of pits and quarries shall be zoned for extraction and associated accessory uses in local zoning by-laws. Licensed extraction areas may also be zoned for aggregate-related uses in accordance with Section 4.3.3.
Areas identified as having aggregate resource constraint on Schedule E shall be appropriately zoned in local zoning by-laws in order to protect the areas from incompatible non-extractive development. Municipalities may require a zoning by-law amendment prior to the establishment of a new pit or quarry operation. Establishment of any new pit or quarry shall be in accordance with the Aggregate Resources Act. Studies and site plans required under the Aggregate Resources Act shall be reviewed prior to any rezoning.
The municipality may use zoning, holding provisions or interim control by-laws to implement any of the policies stated in this section. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry will provide advice to the municipality or the United Counties with respect to any license required under the Aggregate Resources Act.
4.3.13 Former Mineral Aggregate Operations Former mineral aggregate operations, including surrendered pits and quarries and abandoned sites, have been identified on Schedule C on the basis of the Abandoned Pits and Quarries Inventory and other information provided by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.
Development on, abutting or adjacent to lands affected by former mineral aggregate operations may proceed in accordance with the policies of the underlying land use designation only if rehabilitation measures to address and mitigate known or suspected hazards are under-way or have been completed. For the purposes of this policy, adjacent lands are the same as set out in Section 4.3.7 of this Plan.
In reviewing development applications for sites identified as former mineral resource aggregate operations, a study will be required which will provide sufficient information to determine any potential safety hazards, to demonstrate that the site can be rehabilitated to mitigate the known
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 54 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. or suspected hazard and to establish procedures for site rehabilitation and mitigation of the safety hazard.”
62. 5.1 - Introduction Amend Section 5.1 by: a) Adding in the last sentence of the first paragraph after the words “fish habitat” the following: “water bodies, water streams, municipal drains, significant wildlife habitat including wildlife travel corridor and wintering areas”; b) Deleting in the last sentence of the first paragraph the following words “portions of the”; and c) Adding a new sentence at the end of the second paragraph as follows: “For the United Counties a natural heritage system consists of natural heritage features identified in this policy.” 63. 5.2 – Determination Amend Section 5.2 by deleting in its entirety the first paragraph. of Significance 64. 5.3 - Principles Amend Section 5.3 by: a) Adding two new sentences at the beginning of the first paragraph as follows: “This Plan recognizes that most changes to the environment occur through small steps, each one having some negative impact on the environment. Over time, these small steps can have significant cumulative impacts that are undesirable.”; b) Adding a new paragraph after the first paragraph as follows: “This Plan contains policies which aim to protect water resources, natural heritage features and other natural resources that may be impacted through site-specific development proposals. It also contains policies which recognize that we need to be proactive and better understand our ecosystems, so that we can more effectively assess cumulative impacts and overall ecological health.”; and c) Adding a new subsection after Section 5.3 as follows: “5.3.1 NATURAL HERITAGE SYSTEM
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 55 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. A natural heritage system means a system made up of natural heritage features and areas, linked by natural corridors which are necessary to maintain biological and geological diversity, natural functions, viable populations of indigenous species and ecosystems. These systems can include lands that have been restored and areas with the potential to be restored to a natural state. Within this diverse landscape, there are many “natural heritage features” including wetlands, woodlands, areas of natural and scientific interest (ANSI’s), fish habitat, water bodies, water streams, municipal drains, significant wildlife habitat including wildlife travel corridor and wintering areas, linkages, habitat of endangered and threatened species and ground water resources. The diversity and connectivity of natural features in an area, and the long-term ecological function and biodiversity of natural heritage systems, should be maintained, restored or, where possible, improved, recognizing linkages between and among natural heritage features and areas, surface water features and ground water features. The Natural Heritage System is not a designation with a list of permitted uses. Rather, it functions as an overlay on top of the designations on Schedule B, subject to constraints of the Natural Heritage policies. Linkages have been identified as an overlay on Schedule B including the consideration of regional linkages outside the County limit boundaries. Prior to the next comprehensive Official Plan Review, the County will prepare a County-wide Natural Heritage System Strategy. The County will carry out this work either in partnership with other organizations or agencies (e.g. The Nature Conservancy of Canada and/or South Nation Conservation) or on its own. Until such time as this strategy is completed, a natural heritage system consists of natural heritage features identified in this policy as well as linkages identified on Schedule B. The identification and planning for natural heritage systems will be achieved through a comprehensive approach consistent with the PPS definition for “natural heritage system”. Such approach will involve the inclusion of the fundamental components and characteristics as well as the inclusion of landscape and features-based analyses (e.g. diversity and connectivity; long-term ecological function and
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 56 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. biodiversity; linkages with natural heritage and water features) outlined in section 3.4 of the Natural Heritage Reference Manual. New development or site alteration in the Natural Heritage System (as permitted by the policies of this Plan) shall demonstrate that: 1. There will be no negative effects on key natural heritage features or key hydrologic features or their functions; 2. Connectivity between key natural heritage features and key hydrologic features is maintained, or where possible, enhanced for the movement of native plants and animals across the landscape; The County and local municipalities will encourage the creation of linked Natural Heritage System through the integration of: 1. Natural heritage features and areas as identified and described in this Section, including land owned by local municipalities, provincial and federal ministries, and land trusts; 2. Natural corridors such as streams, flood plains, steep slopes, valleys, contiguous narrow woodlands and wetlands that connect two or more natural heritage features; 3. Existing municipal rights-of-ways; 4. Established and proposed service and utility corridors, where appropriate; 5. Existing public parkland and open space lands; 6. Watercourses, where appropriate; 7. Trails and pathways; 8. Linkages provided through the draft plan of subdivision approval process; 9. Agreements with private lands owners; and 10. Land acquisition.” 65. 5.4 – General Land Amend Section 5.4 by: Use Policies a) Adding in policy 1 between the words “shown as” and “Wetlands Policy Area” the words “Provincially Significant”, and between the words “Schedule A as” and “identifying” the word “publicly”;

Although recently evaluated wetlands may not be represented on Schedule A, the policies for these features apply in the interim until an Official Plan amendment is adopted.” 67. 5.5.2 - Endangered Amend Subsection 5.5.2 by deleting in its entirety the policies of this subsection and by or Threatened replacing it with the following new policies: Species Habitat “The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry designates species at risk in categories of Endangered, Threatened and Special Concern (formerly vulnerable). The Ministry administers the Endangered Species Act to protect and conserve the species listed by regulation as well as their habitat. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry approves the delineation of significant habitat for Endangered and Threatened species identified on the Species at Risk in Ontario list. In accordance with common practice to protect significant species and habitats from disturbance, the significant habitat of endangered species and threatened species are not shown on the schedules of this Plan, Instead, a screening map, prepared by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry showing areas of potential habitat of endangered and/or threatened species has been provided to the United Counties of Prescott and Russell for reference. Development and site alteration shall not be permitted in habitat of endangered species and threatened species, except in accordance with provincial and federal requirements. Where the screening map identifies the potential habitat of endangered and threatened species, an ecological site assessment (EcoSA) shall be required in support of a
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 59 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. planning application. The EcoSA shall assess the potential for significant habitat and delineate the extent of significant habitat of endangered and/or threatened species within or adjacent to an area proposed for development or site alteration. In cases where an environmental impact study (EIS) is triggered by this Plan, the above requirements may be addressed as part of the environmental impact study, provided it is undertaken by a qualified individual. The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is the responsible authority to approve the delineation of significant habitat of endangered and/or threatened species identified by an ecological site assessment or as part of an environmental impact study. In addition, on all sites proposed for development or site alteration, a site inventory for butternut, an endangered tree species, will be required prior to the disturbance or removal of trees. When harm to (cutting of branches, root disturbances, etc.) or removal of butternut is proposed, prior assessment of the health of the species by a qualified Butternut Health Assessor is required. If butternut is determined to be “not retainable”, a certificate will be issued by the assessor and the tree can be removed/harmed. If, however, the butternut is “retainable”, the legislative requirements of the Endangered Species Act must be met prior to removing or harming the tree.” 68. 5.5.3 - Areas of Amend subsection 5.5.3 by: Natural and Scientific a) Adding in policy 1 before the words “50 metres” the words “120 metres of a Interest (ANSI’s) provincially significant life science ANSIs and on adjacent lands within” and by adding after the words “50 metres” the words “of a significant earth science ANSIs”; b) Deleting policy 2 and replacing it by the following: “2 Notwithstanding policy 1 above, established agricultural uses ongoing at the time of adoption of this Plan, are permitted to continue within and adjacent to ANSIs. New or expanded agricultural structures or the clearing and draining of additional lands adjacent to a ANSIs shall be permitted only when it has been demonstrated through an environmental impact assessment in accordance with Section 5.6 that there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or the ecological functions of the ANSI.” c) Adding after policy 2 the two new following policies:
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 60 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. “3. Notwithstanding policy 1 above, peat extraction is allowed within the Moose Creek Bog without an environmental impact assessment. 4. As additional ANSIs are evaluated by the Ministry of Natural Resources, Council shall incorporate the new ANSIs into this Plan through an Official Plan Amendment.” 69. 5.5.4 - Significant Amend subsection 5.5.4 by: Wildlife Habitat a) Adding at the end of the first paragraph the following sentence: “Significant wildlife habitats are ecologically important in terms of features, functions, representation or amount, and contributing to the quality of diversity of habitats within the United Counties of Prescott and Russell.” b) Deleting in the second paragraph the words “land use schedules” and replacing them with the words “Schedule B”; c) Adding before the last sentence of the second paragraph the following new sentence: “Significant wildlife habitat shall include wintering area and wildlife travel corridor as identified on Schedule B of this Plan.”; d) Replacing in policy 1 the number “30” by the number “120”; e) Adding a new policy 2 as follows and renumbering accordingly: “2. In addition to significant wildlife habitat identified on Schedule B, wildlife habitat shall be considered on a site specific basis in areas outside of settlement areas, defined by the PPS, as triggered by: a. Creation of more than three lots through plan of subdivision; b. A major change in land use, not including the creation of a lot, that requires approval under the Planning Act, c. Shoreline consent along an inland lake or large river that is within 120 metres along the shoreline; and d. Construction for recreational uses (e.g. golf courses, serviced playing fields, campgrounds, etc.) that require large-scale modifications of terrain, vegetation or both.
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 61 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. For development proposals triggered in the above instances, an ecological land classification (ELC) shall be prepared for the site and on lands within 120 metres of the site. The ELC shall identify and delineate ecosites on the property from the best available information and field visits. The ELC shall then be compared to the schedules for determining significance as outlined in the Significant Wildlife Habitat Technical Guide and Addendum prepared by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry which provides information on the identification, description and prioritization of significant wildlife habitats: i.) It is an area of habitat where particularly important wildlife species are concentrated or are particularly susceptible to impacts for a specific period of their lifecycle. These areas include, but are not limited to: seasonal concentration areas; rare vegetation communities or specialized habitat for wildlife; habitats for species of conservation concern; and animal movement corridors. ii.) The amount of the specific type of habitat that exists within the context of the ecological region and its representation within other components of the Natural Heritage System. iii.) It is an area of habitat having a high diversity of species that are of value for research, conservation, education and passive recreation opportunities. On the basis of the ELC ecosite assessment and analysis, the development proponent will document whether the area is to be considered a confirmed significant wildlife habitat. In accordance with Policy 1, above, all sites which are confirmed significant wildlife habitat shall be subject to an Environmental Impact Study in accordance with Section 5 in order to assess the impact of the development and site alteration.”; and f) Replacing in policy 2 the “assessment” by the word “study”. 70. 5.5.5 - Natural Sites Amend subsection 5.5.5 by: of County a) Deleting in the second sentence of the first paragraph the words “can be” and Significance replacing them with the word “are”; and b) Deleting in policy 1 the number “50” and replacing it with the number “120”; and c) Deleting in policy 1 the word “assessment” and replacing it with the word “study”; and
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 62 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. d) Deleting in policy 2 the word “assessment” and replacing it with the word “study”. 71. 5.5.6 - Significant Amend subsection 5.5.6 by: Woodlands and a) Adding the following paragraphs at the end of the preamble: Vegetation Cover “The United Counties have used the GIS approach developed by the Kemptville District of the Ministry of Natural Resources to identify significant woodlands. This approach utilizes digital woodlands data and takes into consideration the important characteristics of the woodlands. The boundaries of the significant woodlands identified on Schedule B were produced using digital data which has not been ground checked. Accordingly, there may be areas identified as significant woodlands that may not actually be so, as well as areas which may be significant woodlands that have not been mapped. In this regard, site assessments will be an important part of environmental impact studies to verify site conditions. The criteria used to determine the significance of woodlands was developed by the Kemptville District of the Ministry of Natural Resources and include woodland size, woodland interior (core habitat that is 100 m from woodland edge), proximity to other significant habitats, linkages, riparian areas, uncommon characteristics and old woodlands. In terms of vegetative cover, this Plan recognizes that preserving vegetation along waterways, on sites subject to development and along roadways contributes to the overall health of the area and helps lessen the environmental impact of development and improve the visual appeal of newly developed areas. Development proposals shall be required to preserve vegetative cover or replace vegetative cover when removal cannot be avoided. This Plan supports the retention or restoration of the natural vegetative buffer adjacent to all watercourses as the means of protecting water resources and its related ecological function from the negative impacts of development. The Plan also recognizes that woodlands and forests have great ecological significance. Property owners may benefit from the Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program which is a voluntary program that provides lower property taxes to participating landowners who agree to conserve and actively manage their forests.
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 63 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. Forests are a renewable resource if harvested in a sustainable manner. Forestry management is sustainable when it maintains and enhances the long-term health of forest ecosystems to the benefit of all living things, while providing environmental, economic, social and cultural opportunities for the benefit of present and future generations. Sustainable forest management refers to management regimes applied to forest lands which maintain the productive and renewal capacities as well as the genetic, species and ecological diversity of forest ecosystems. Property owners have the right to harvest forest resources on their lands. This Plan encourages forestry management in accordance with the Eastern Ontario Model Forest Code of Forestry Practice. To mitigate potential impacts due to site alteration and tree cutting in lands identified as containing significant woodland, Council may adopt appropriate by-laws to prohibit or regulate the placing, dumping, removal or regrading of topsoil or fill, and the destruction or injuring of trees.”; b) Deleting the words “The following policies apply:”; c) Deleting policy 1 and replacing it with a new subsection a follows and by renumbering accordingly: “5.5.6.1 Significant Woodland General Policies The policies governing development in significant woodlands are as follows: 1. Within significant woodland existing development shall be permitted. The establishment of single dwellings on existing lots of record shall be permitted, subject to all of the relevant policies of this Plan. 2. Development (subdivisions, site plan, zoning amendments, minor variances, consents) and/or site alteration within significant woodlands may take place in accordance with the underlying land use designation shown on Schedule A to this Plan only when it has been demonstrated through an Environmental Impact Study carried out in accordance with the policies of Section 5.6 and prepared by a qualified professional that there shall be no negative impacts on the natural features or ecological functions of the woodland. 3. Development (subdivisions, site plan, zoning amendments, minor variances, consents) and/or site alteration within 120 m of a significant woodland, may
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 64 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. take place in accordance with the land use designation shown on the Schedule to this Plan only when it has been demonstrated through an Environmental Impact Study carried out in accordance with the policies of Section 5.6 and prepared by a qualified professional, that there shall be no negative impacts on the natural features or ecological functions of the woodland. This is not a setback requirement, but rather a requirement for a review of development proposals within the 120 metres adjacent lands.”; and d) Deleting in the first sentence of policy 3 the words “Notwithstanding policy 1 above for significant woodlands,” and the word “mature”; e) Adding in the first sentence of policy 3 after the words “new recreational trails” the words “for non-motorized and motorized vehicles on existing roads or logging trails” and deleting the words “and snowmobile trails”; f) Deleting the word “assessment” and replacing it by the word “study”; g) Adding in policy 4 a new paragraph after the second sentence as follows: “Forest management occurring on all United Counties properties is certified to the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) under the Eastern Ontario Model Forest group certification umbrella (Certificate #SW – FM /COC 000 232). The forest management is governed by a Forest Management Plan, a 5 Year Operation Plan and a Protection and Development Plan.”; h) Adding a new paragraph starting with the words “Notwithstanding the underlying” and ending with “Larose Forest on Schedule B”; i) Deleting in policy 4 the words “a research” and replacing them with the words “an ecology” and by adding after the words “interpretation centre” the following text “ecotourism centre, entrepreneurship centre” and by adding between the words “identified as” and “the Larose Forest” the words “part of”; and j) Adding a new subsection at the end as follows: “5.5.6.2 Vegetative Cover General Policies At a regional level, several studies indicate that a reduction of the regional forest cover below 30 % results in a significant reduction in biodiversity. It is estimated that the current percentage of forest cover in Prescott and Russell is approximately 26 %. The percentage of residual forest and natural forest corridors in the landscape has a
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 65 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. significant impact on the presence of species within a region. Therefore, if the landscape contains a large proportion of forest, this will benefit the regional habitat and greater diversity will result. The reduction of forest cover causes the reduction or the disappearance of many animal species that require forest habitats. On the other hand, non-forest species and species who inhabit forest edges multiply. Globally, the loss of forest cover results in a loss of biological diversity. Deforestation is the permanent removal of forest cover from an area and the conversion of this previously forested land to other uses. Deforestation can be attributed to several factors such as the clearing of land for urban development, transportation corridors, recreation, forest industries and natural resource extraction industries. The clearing of land for agriculture is one of the major causes of deforestation in Prescott and Russell. Rising global market demand and high prices for commodities are the driving factors of enticement to deforestation and it is becoming a rising trend of regional significance in Prescott and Russell. Council recognizes the importance of protecting an adequate forest cover for the region. Although the Municipal Act, 2001 provides the framework that enables local and upper tier municipalities the power to adopt tree cutting and tree conservation by-laws, Council for the time being, will continue to carefully monitor this situation by using updated DRAPE imagery and promote the benefits of proper forest management practices. New development will be subject to the following policies: 1. This Plan shall require the retention and/or establishment of mature tree cover and native shrubs and vegetative cover on lands within 15 metres of a high water mark of a water resource in order to protect the riparian and littoral zones and associated habitat, prevent erosion, siltation and nutrient migration, maintain shoreline character and appearance, and minimize the visual impact of development. Notwithstanding the 15 metre vegetative buffer, a water access area of a maximum of 9 metres width may be permitted provided the natural shoreline is disturbed as little as possible and the balance of the water front outside of the access area is maintained in a natural state. Within the natural vegetative buffer, the pruning of trees for viewing purposes or the removal of trees for safety reasons may be permitted provided the intent of the policy is maintained. All other policies and approvals for work near water resources shall apply and shall be subject to site plan approval.
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 66 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. 2. In rural areas, retaining existing natural vegetation along public roads shall be encouraged. Developers shall be encouraged to remove as little vegetation as possible when establishing roads, building sites and servicing facilities. Specific provisions relating to protection of vegetation may be incorporated into site plan agreements. The retention of natural vegetation is not meant to include noxious weeds or invasive species. 3. In urban areas, selective protection of significant trees or shrubs shall be promoted. Provisions relating to protection of vegetation may be incorporated into subdivision or site plan agreements. 4. The County and local municipalities shall ensure that trees along municipal road allowances and on other municipal property are preserved while allowing appropriate maintenance and the removal of trees which may constitute a safety hazard. Any private removal of trees on municipal property shall require the approval of Council. 5. Applications for subdivisions, Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments, minor variances or site plan control may be supported by a Tree Preservation Plan. Such a plan shall: a) retain as much natural vegetation as possible, especially along watercourses, on steep slopes, in valued woodlots, in areas linking green spaces and along roadways; b) determine which stands of trees or individual trees warrant retention based on a preliminary assessment; c) outline measures for the protection of those trees or stands of trees being retained during construction; d) describe the area and nature of tree loss and compensation measures proposed. Such compensation measures may include off-site plantings; e) indicate tree planting or vegetative cover required to provide protection for stream courses or steep slopes; f) investigate the use of native species in tree planting strategies and shall discourage monoculture;
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 67 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. g) provide guidelines for property owners on the importance and care of trees on their property; h) consider the impact on the environment during and after construction, and propose mitigation measures where there is substantial alteration of the existing tree cover on the site; i) natural features/functions may be protected and enhanced by incorporating them into public open spaces and recreational pathways.” 72. 5.5.7 - Fish Habitat Amend subsection 5.5.7 by: a) Deleting in its entirety the second sentence of the first paragraph and policies 1 to 5 and replacing them with the following: “Healthy aquatic communities are generally a good indicator of environmental health. The harmful alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitat is prohibited under the Fisheries Act. It is the United Counties intention to encourage improvement of productive capacity of this habitat. The extent and significance of fish habitat shall be determined in consultation with the Conservation Authority under their agreement with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, having regard for the Subwatershed Plans and Studies where applicable. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) manages fish populations (Fisheries Manager) for the Province of Ontario and should be consulted to determine what fish community information may be available for a specific location. The MNRF also sets timing windows for works in water across the province of Ontario and should be consulted for this information and associated authorizations related to fish populations. The best available information has been obtained from the MNRF and OMFRA at the time of the adoption of this Plan and is identified on Schedule B. The fish habitat identified on Schedule B shall include all rivers, lakes, watercourses and municipal drain. Development and site alteration shall not be permitted in areas of fish habitat, except in accordance with relevant provincial and federal requirements.”; and b) Deleting the words “The following policies apply” and replacing it with the following: “Rivers, municipal drains and all other watercourses in the United Counties are either direct or indirect fish habitat. The policies governing fish habitat protection are as follows:”;
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 68 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. c) Adding as policy 1 the following and renumbering accordingly: “1. No person shall carry on any work or undertaking that results in the harmful alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitat. Development and site alteration shall not result in a net loss of fish habitat, result in harmful alteration, disruption, degradation or destruction of fish habitat or negatively impact fish passage.”; d) Deleting in policy 1 the number “30” and replacing it with the number “120” and deleting the word “assessment” and replacing it with the word “study”; e) Deleting in policy 3 the word “assessment” and replacing it by the word “study”; f) Deleting in its entirety policy 6 and replacing it with the following: “Development or site alteration in or within 120 metres of fish habitat shall be assessed by the appropriate Conservation Authority in accordance with their responsibilities under the Fisheries Act. Any demonstrated harmful alteration, destruction or disturbance of fish habitat will require the prior written approval of the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans for Canada.” 73. 5.5 – Landform Amend Section 5.5 by adding the following new subsection after subsection 5.5.7: Specific Land Use “5.5.8 Significant Valleylands Policies Significant Valleylands are natural areas that occur in a valley or other landform depression that have water flowing through or standing for some period of the year. Significant Valleylands are the natural drainage systems for the watersheds and as such, they provide an appropriate context for planning and evaluating water related resources. The Natural Heritage Reference Manual provides more detail and direction related to Significant Valleylands and their identification. Given the geological history of the United Counties, valleylands have not been identified. Significant Valleylands shall be subject to the policies of the underlying land use designation. Where valleylands are identified through consultation with the MNR of by an EIS triggered by another policy of this Plan, they shall be subject to the policies of this Section and may be mapped accordingly on Schedule B through an amendment to this Plan.
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 69 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. Development or site alteration proposed in a Significant Valleyland shall be subject to the completion of an EIS prior to development or site alteration. Development or site alteration in a Significant Valleyland shall not be permitted unless it has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or on their ecological functions. Development and site alteration shall not be permitted on land adjacent to a Significant Valleyland unless it has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on the Significant Valleyland or on their ecological functions. For the purposes of this policy, the extent of adjacent land shall be 120 metres from the stable top of bank of the Significant Valleyland. In accordance with Section 5.6, an EIS shall be required for all development proposals on adjacent lands or abutting areas identified as being the Significant Valleyland. Prior to considering development and/or site alteration on or within adjacent lands to a Significant Valleyland, the County, in consultation with the Conservation Authority and MNR, shall be satisfied that the EIS demonstrates that there will be no negative impacts on the habitat values upon which the species depend directly and indirectly, and any related ecological functions.” 74. 5.5.8 - Ground Water Amend subsection 5.5.8 by: 5.5.9 Protection and a) Renumbering the subsection as subsection 5.5.9; Enhancement b) Deleting in the heading the word “Ground”; c) Deleting in the first paragraph the word “ground”; d) Deleting in the third paragraph the words “the Village of St-Isidore” and replacing them with the words “several areas”; e) Adding after the fourth paragraph the following two new paragraphs: “It is Council’s intent to initiate a hydrogeological aquifer capability pre-screening tool with respect to groundwater resource protection and use. This tool would consist of an assessment of aquifer capability in terms of expected groundwater quantity and quality to assist in evaluating the development potential of a property. The Municipality is aware of water supply issues for more than one hundred rural residential homes along Main Street. The source of drinking water in that stretch of
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 70 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. municipal road is a mix of groundwater and surface (Ottawa River) water supplies. Although the water supply issues have not been documented yet, a more permanent and viable solution to find safe drinkable water for those homeowners is a concern for both the Counties and the local municipality. The distribution of municipal water will be allowed in that sector of the Township without an amendment to this plan provided an assessment study is completed and a Local Improvement under the Ontario Municipal Act is reached between the Township and the affected homeowners.”; f) Deleting in policy 2 the reference to “3.3.8.2(1)” and replacing it with “5.5.9(1)”; and g) Adding the following text as a new subsection immediately following policy 6: “5.5.9.1 Source Water Protection Plan The Source Water Protection Plan of Raisin-South Nation Source Protection Region came into effect on April 1st, 2015. The Source Water Protection Plan intends to protect the municipal sources of drinking water. The Plan identifies risks to local drinking water sources and developed policies to mitigate the level of risks. The approved Source Water Protection Plan of Raisin-South Nation Source Protection Region provide mapping of areas that contribute water, or are in close proximity to municipal drinking water supplies, that are vulnerable. These areas consist of well head protection areas (WHPA) and intake protection zones (IPZ), as shown on Schedule C. Wellhead Protection Areas are classified from A to D and Intake Protection Zones are classified as 1 or 2. These classifications allow for varying degrees of management relative to the vulnerability of the drinking source, and the length of time groundwater or surface water within the area will take to reach the municipal drinking-water supply. The WHPAs and IPZs shown on Schedules C will be interpreted as a special protection category in which the lands may be utilized in accordance with the underlying land use designation, subject to the policies of this Section. Local municipalities shall amend their Local Official Plan and Comprehensive Zoning By-laws and may also adopt other development controls to protect WHPAs and IPZs in accordance with the approved Source Water Protection Plan of Raisin-South Nation Source Protection Region to direct new development to appropriate areas where it would not pose a threat to drinking water.. Local municipalities shall
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 71 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. implement the WHPAs and IPZs zones, as shown on Schedule C, as constraint in the Local Official Plan and Comprehensive Zoning By-laws mapping. Local municipalities shall prohibit high risk activities from establishing within WHPAs and IPZs and ensure that permitted uses can be established within an acceptable level of risk to groundwater quality and quantity. For example, local municipality could ban new waste disposal sites near municipal wells, or chemical storage facilities upstream from a surface water intake. The County and local municipalities shall consult with the Risk Management Office for any project proposed under the Planning Act or the Building Code in the WHPAs and IPZs zones, to screen proposed activities in the vulnerable area prior to applying for approvals, i.e. building permit, zoning change, minor variance, site plan control. An application shall be considered as complete until such time as the notice from the Risk Management Official is received by the County of the local municipality. The following policies provide for the establishment of additional protection measures of either a regulatory or voluntary nature by County Council and/or local Councils: a) Council will encourage the use of alternative protection measures within highly sensitive WHPAs, including but not limited to, land acquisition, conservation easements, growth management and landowner partnership programs involving compensation for changes in land use or land management practices. b) Council will encourage local municipalities to implement a program to establish a system of monitoring wells within municipal well WHPAs in order to assist in identifying contaminants in the groundwater before they reach the municipal wells. Priority will be given to WHPAs where the pumped aquifer is highly vulnerable (i.e. WHPA 1 or 2) and where existing water quality indicates changes from background conditions. c) Council and local municipalities will encourage the development and promotion of Best Management Practices (BMPs) for implementation by existing higher risk land use activities in vulnerable areas and for new industries locating in the area. d) Council may consider the development of programs offering financial incentives to protect and maintain groundwater and surface water quality.
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 72 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. e) Local Councils are encouraged to adopt guidelines or regulate the use of domestic chemicals that are exempted from the certification and licensing requirements under the Pesticides Act. f) Local Councils are encouraged to adopt guidelines or regulate the proper maintenance and regular evacuation of septic tanks to assist in the proper maintenance and operation of septic systems. g) Local Councils are encouraged to develop programs to identify and decommission unused water wells and encourage the owners of dug wells to install a drilled well and decommission the dug well.” 75. 5.5.9 - Groundwater Amend subsection 5.5.9 by: 5.5.9.2 Recharge Areas a) Renumbering the subsection as subsection 5.5.9.2; b) Deleting in its entirety the second paragraph; c) Adding in the first sentence of third paragraph after the words “Recharge Area” the words “when identified and”; and d) Deleting in its entirety the second sentence in the third paragraph. 76. 5.5.10 - River Amend subsection 5.5.10 by: Corridors a) Deleting in its entirety policy 1 and replacing it with the following: “Where development or improvements are proposed which would require shoreline alterations a permit under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s Public Lands Act and or approval under the Ontario Regulation 724/94 administered through the South Nation Conservation may be required.”; b) Adding at the end of policy 2 the following words “with non-disturbance of the native soils and very limited removal of shoreline vegetation.”; c) Adding as policy 3 the following: “For existing lots of record, new development should be set back 30 metres if possible, otherwise as far back as the lot permits again with non-disturbance of the native soils and very limited removal of shoreline vegetation.”; and d) Adding a new policy after policy 7 as follows:
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 73 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. “Large development proposals (i.e. greater than 5 lots, resort/condominium development) must be supported with a site evaluation report in consultation with the Ministry of the Environment. This is to ensure water quality protection. The study should take into consideration the existing water quality of the water body, surface water run-off, impact and loadings of phosphorous from septic systems, type of soils, stormwater management and nature of vegetation.” 77. 5.5 – Landform Amend Section 5.5 by adding after subsection 5.5.10 the following new subsections to be Specific Land Use numbered 5.5.11 to 5.5.14: Policies “5.5.11 Other Natural Heritage Areas Nothing within this Section would preclude lands that have been deemed by the Provincial Government and/or the County and/or local municipalities to have significant ecological functions or features that have or have not been designated on Schedule 'A' and/or Schedule 'B' from being recognized in the implementing Zoning By-law. These lands may include significant portions of the habitat of endangered and threatened species, significant woodlands, significant wildlife habitat, fish habitat and significant areas of natural and scientific interest. Development will require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Study, in accordance with Section 5.6 of this Plan, if it is proposed to be located in or within 120 metres of Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest, significant wildlife habitat, and significant woodlands. Natural Heritage lands shall be placed in the appropriate zoning classification in the local implementing Zoning By-law.
5.5.12 Infrastructure 1. New or expanded infrastructure shall only be permitted within the Natural Heritage System where it is clearly demonstrated through an environmental assessment process under the Environmental Assessment Act that it is the preferred location for the infrastructure, and that the alternatives are all evaluated having regard for the relevant policies of the Official Plan. 2. Where the preferred alternative is located within or adjacent to the Natural Heritage System, an Environmental Impact Study, approved by the County and/or local municipalities, shall be completed to further assess potential impacts, identify

The County and/or local municipalities and other relevant public authorities shall include methods for minimizing impacts when reviewing proposals to construct transportation, communication, sewerage or other infrastructure in the Natural Heritage System. 4. Where there is more than one type of infrastructure, the rights-of-way shall be combined, wherever feasible, to reduce the extent of the intrusion into the area. 5. As conditions of approving infrastructure projects in or adjacent to the Natural Heritage System natural heritage areas, the County and/ or local municipalities may well require specific mitigation and rehabilitation measures and/or compensation that are identified in the approved Environmental Impact Study, to address potential impacts on the damage to natural features and functions caused by the construction or maintenance of the infrastructure.
5.5.13 Public Ownership / Acquisition 1. It is not intended that all natural heritage areas shall be purchased or otherwise brought into public ownership, nor that all such lands shall be open and accessible for public use. It may be determined, however, that certain areas should be in public ownership or accessible for recreational uses, where appropriate. In such cases, the County or the local municipalities or other agencies shall explore options for purchasing, or otherwise acquiring, managing or providing access to these lands. 2. The County or the local municipalities may develop a program for the long term acquisition of natural heritage areas. Acquisition may occur as properties become available, primarily through the following methods: purchase, dedication, and donation. 3. Council and/or local Council may accept gifts of ecologically sensitive lands in accordance with the provisions of the Ecological Gifts Program administered by Environment Canada, or any other similar program administered by the Provincial or Federal Governments. There are also Conservation Authority Foundations and other organizations which may be requested by the County or the local municipalities to
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 75 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. play a role in the acquisition or management of natural heritage and hazard lands for the public good.
5.5.14 Stewardship 1. Where natural heritage areas are privately owned, the United Counties and the local municipalities will encourage individual property owners to provide for their protection and conservation. In this regard, the United Counties and the local municipalities may use the following techniques: a) Stewardship agreements; b) Conservation easements; c) Education programs to inform landowners of maintenance and stewardship options available to protect or rehabilitate natural features and ecological functions; d) Encouraging the establishment of land trusts and the utilization of existing land trusts, as well as other mechanisms to purchase land and to rehabilitate, create or conserve natural heritage areas; e) Modification of property tax assessment and/or facilitation of the Provincial Conservation Land Tax Incentive Program or the Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program; and f) Any other suitable techniques. 2. Where natural heritage areas are owned by the United Counties and/or the local municipalities, the United Counties and the local municipalities will encourage community groups and individuals to take an active role in their protection, rehabilitation and enhancement. The County and/or local municipalities may develop programs to facilitate community involvement in the protection and rehabilitation of these areas.” 78. 5.6 - Environmental Amend Section 5.6 by deleting in the heading the word “assessments” and replacing it with Impact Assessments the word “studies”. 79. 5.6.1 - Introduction Amend subsection 5.6.1 by adding the following text after the first paragraph:
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 76 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. “The preparation of an environmental impact study (EIS) may be required for submission prior to the approval authority making a formal decision on a planning application (eg. Official Plan amendment, zoning amendment, site plan control, subdivision, consent, etc.) to assess the negative impacts on the natural features and the ecological functions of the area in question. The terms of reference and guideline for an Environmental Impact Study will be determined by the United Counties in consultation with the Conservation Authority. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is responsible to review the EIS for species at risk and the Endangered Species Act and approve the habitat delineation of endangered and threatened species. The Conservation Authority will assist the United Counties in the review of Environmental Impact Studies. Generally, Environmental Impact Studies, when required, will be considered as required information for a “complete” planning application.” 80. 5.6 - Environmental Amend Section 5.6 by: Impact Assessments a) Deleting in its entirety subsection 5.6.2 and by replacing it with the following: “5.6.2 Scoped Environmental Impact Study The County or the local municipalities may consider reducing an Environmental Impact Study to a scoped study if the proposal is: 1. minor in nature (construction of small accessory buildings or a minor addition to an existing building); and 2. located in an area where previous studies are sufficient to provide the necessary technical information to assess a proposal. A scoped statement will involve a checklist that can be completed by the applicant in consultation with the County and/or local municipality or other appropriate approval authority. The MNRF shall work with the County to include species at risk and their habitat as per the Endangered Species Act to be considered in the development of the scoped Environmental Impact Study (EIS) checklist. If the scoped study indicates that there may be some potential impacts that warrant a more complete review, a full site Environmental Impact Study shall be prepared.”; and

Terms of reference will be prepared to guide the development of an EIS, however, generally the statement will: 1. define the nature and the boundaries of any significant features and ecological functions on or adjacent to the site; 2. describe the location, extent, and nature of development; 3. describe the relationship of these features and functions to the proposed development and adjacent lands; 4. demonstrate how and where development can proceed without negative impact on the natural values which make the area significant; 5. describe any mitigation or compensation proposals designed to alleviate or eliminate impacts. Where land identified as Natural Heritage is under private ownership, there is no implication that the land is open to the general public or that it will be acquired by any public agency.
5.6.4 Management and Rehabilitation Priorities The County and the local municipalities will encourage rehabilitation and enhancement measures that protect the ecological function and integrity of the Natural Heritage areas. Watershed and Sub-watershed Plans can provide guidance for the types of measures that may be identified through Environmental Impact Studies, the Environmental Assessment process, or other environmental studies or programs. Rehabilitation and enhancement measures may be implemented through conservation master plans or woodland management plans on publicly-owned land and through stewardship and conservation programs for privately-owned lands.
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 78 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. 1. The County and the local municipalities' highest priority for rehabilitating and enhancing the Natural Heritage System shall be those areas linking or adjacent to natural heritage areas that are subject to flood or erosion hazard constraints. 2. With respect to specific components of the Natural Heritage areas, the County and the local municipalities' management and rehabilitation priorities are: a) Wetlands - to protect the natural features and ecological functions of all Provincially and locally Significant wetlands. b) Significant Woodlands and Woodlands - to protect existing ecosystem features and functions, to increase the amount of interior forest habitat, and to retain or restore linkages between isolated natural areas. c) Marginal and abandoned agricultural land. d) River, Stream and Ravine Corridors - to protect existing ecosystem features and functions, maintain water resource functions, and to rehabilitate eroded banks and channels. e) Upland Corridors - to retain or create linkages between isolated natural areas. f) Wildlife Habitat - to protect wildlife habitat. g) Fish, Riparian Habitat - to protect, rehabilitate and/or create fish and riparian habitat, and to encourage a net gain of productive capacity of fish habitat, where possible. h) Potential Naturalization Areas - to restore or replace connections between and within vegetation patches, riparian corridors and wildlife habitat. i) Groundwater Recharge Areas, Headwaters and Aquifers – to protect hydrological functions and source water.” 81. 5 – Natural Heritage Amend Section 5 by deleting Section 5.7 in its entirety. 82. 6.1 - Introduction Amend Section 6.1 by adding after the third paragraph the following new paragraph: “Accordingly, this Plan shall carefully regulate land uses in and around areas identified as having natural or human-made hazards to protect public health or safety or property.”
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 79 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. 83. 6.2 - Objective Amend Section 6.2 by adding the following text as a new paragraph after the first paragraph: “The use of areas related to hazardous conditions shall be directed towards the following objectives: 1. Minimize the possibility of property damage, social disruption and danger to life from flooding, by restricting the uses and activities permitted on lands susceptible to flooding and/or erosion processes. 2. Direct development to areas outside of hazardous lands adjacent to rivers and watercourses which are impacted by flooding hazards and/or erosion hazards, as well as other hazardous sites. 3. Through acquisition and agreement, provide for the use of floodplain lands as public open space. 4.

New information or detailed site examination may result in additional lands being identified as having environmental hazards and constraints. If such hazards and constraint lands are identified through a comprehensive program, Council shall incorporate the identified new lands into this Plan through an Official Plan Amendment. In cases where hazards and constraints are identified on a site specific basis, only an amendment to the Zoning By-law shall be required to identify the land.”
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 80 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. 85. 6.5.1 - Defining Amend Section 6.5.1 by adding at the end of the last sentence of the first paragraph the Areas Subject to following text “and by the United Counties (in those areas where flooding events are Floods and Erosion known).” 86. 6.5.2 – Permitted Amend Section 6.5.2 by: Uses a) Adding at the end of policy 1 the following text “development and such development may be subject to site plan control.”; b) Adding after policy 3 the following new policies numbered 4 to 13: “4. Uses such as agriculture, forestry, conservation, wildlife management and similar activities will be permitted provided that no associated buildings and structures are located in the floodplain and the use does not adversely affect the ability of the flood plains to pass floodwaters. 5. Any new development or structures within the floodplain will require the approval of the appropriate Conservation Authority. 6. No new septic systems are permitted within the floodplain. Notwithstanding this policy there may be situations with existing development where a replacement septic system within the floodplain may be necessary. 7. Where new lots are being created, part of which will be located in the floodplain, there must be a sufficient area of land outside of the floodplain to place the buildings and services in accordance with the policies of this Plan and the provisions of the Zoning By-law, as well as any other applicable regulations. 8. In the floodplains, it will be the policy of the County and the local municipality to encourage the retention of natural vegetation. 9. The placement or removal of fill in any floodplain will require the approval of the appropriate Conservation Authority. 10. Where there is an existing lot of record located entirely within the floodplain or where an acceptable building envelope outside of the floodplain does not exist, such lot shall not be developed.
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 81 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. 11. Areas that would be rendered inaccessible to people or vehicles during times of flooding hazards shall not be developed unless it has been demonstrated that the site has safe access appropriate for the nature of the development. 12. Development and site alteration shall not be permitted within the floodplain regardless of whether an area of inundation contains high points of land not subject to flooding. 13. Development is prohibited in the flood plain for: a) uses associated with hospitals, nursing homes, pre-school, school nurseries, day care and schools, where there is a threat to safe evacuation of the sick, the elderly, persons with disabilities or the young during an emergency as a result of flooding or failure of floodproofing measures or protection works or erosion; b) essential emergency services such as fire, police, ambulance stations and electrical substations that could be impaired in the case of flooding or failure of flood protection works and/or erosion; and, c) uses associated with the disposal, manufacture, treatment or storage of hazardous substances and outdoor industrial storage.”; c) Adding a new heading to be numbered 6.5.6 before the last paragraph in this section as follows: “6.5.6 Development and Site Alterations” d) Adding at the end of policy 4 the following text “This Plan defines safe access as the primary access to the property, such that the access road (private or public) would not be flooded by more than 0.3 metres of water during a 1:100 year flood elevation;” 87. 6.5 – Hazardous Amend Section 6.5 by adding after subsection 6.5.2 the following new subsections to be Lands – Flooding numbered 6.5.3 to 6.5.5: and Erosion “6.5.3 Flood line mapping Detailed flood line mapping studies have been completed for the South Nation River and a portion of its tributaries. It is recognized that not all floodplain areas are identified on watercourse where a flood line study has not been completed, the landowner may be required to undertake a detailed flood line study.
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 82 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. For those floodplain areas where no engineered flood line is available minor adjustments to the boundary of the floodplain may be considered without an amendment to this Plan provided that the applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the County and the Conservation Authority that such changes are appropriate. Development may then be in accordance with the policies of the land uses designation of Schedule A.
6.5.4 Development within the Floodplain Development in the floodplain is regulated under the Conservation Authorities Act (pursuant to the relevant “Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alteration to Shorelines and Watercourses” regulation enacted under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act) and will require written permission from the appropriate Conservation Authority or the Ministry of Natural Resources (for areas outside of a Conservation Authority) in addition to a building permit from the local municipalities.
6.5.5 Zoning The zoning of floodplain lands will reflect the restricted use of these lands, and will prohibit any new development, with the exception of existing uses and minor additions and/or renovations to existing structures. A permit may be required from the appropriate Conservation Authority or the Ministry of Natural Resources (for areas outside of a Conservation Authority) and floodproofing may be required.” 88. 6.6.1 - Policies Amend subsection 6.6.1 by: a) Adding at the end of the first paragraph the following: “Unstable bedrock includes areas known as Karst topography. Karst topography is an area of limestone plain marked by sinks, or karst holes, interspersed with abrupt ridges and irregular protuberant rock, usually underlain by caverns and underground streams. This irregular topography is developed by the solution of surface and ground water eroding limestone.”; and b) Adding after Policy 4 the following policies to be numbered from 5 to 7: “5. A developer may be required to produce an engineer's geotechnical slope evaluation, at his expense, for any new development proposed in the vicinity of erosion hazards and slopes.
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 83 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. 6. Development on existing lots of record containing erosion hazards and slopes shall be subject to the following: a) Where possible, the development shall be placed outside of the erosion hazard limits. b) Where there is insufficient area to place the development outside of the erosion hazard limits, development shall only proceed where an assessment, approved by the Conservation Authority, prepared by a qualified geotechnical engineer determines the property can be safely developed. A geotechnical evaluation must contain erosion control measures associated with all structural, landscaping and surface drainage components of the development of the property. 7. Karst Topography Karst topography generally forms on limestone and dolostone plains and is marked by sink or karst holes, interspersed with abrupt ridges and irregular protuberant bedrock that is commonly underlain by caverns and solution-enhanced joints and bedding planes that influence the flow of surface and ground waters. Due to the nature of its formation, karst terrains are ephemeral and are controlled by past and present climatic and local weather conditions. Due to its geological nature, karst topography presents a potential hazard to human safety which must be mitigated through development controls and approvals. Areas shown on the Schedule C to this plan as being karst topography are considered to be potential development constraint areas. It Is recognized that the mapping is approximate and identifies areas of potential environmental constraint to development that must be addressed prior to development occurring. Development shall generally be directed to areas outside of karst topography unless the effects and risk to public safety are minor so as to be managed or mitigated. In areas suspected to have karst topography, the following shall be undertaken for any Planning Act application to assess for the presence of karst topography and to mitigate against any potential hazard: a) Phase 1- Desktop Study and Site Visit A desktop evaluation and site visit, undertaken by a qualified geoscientist with knowledge and experience in identification of karst topography, shall be undertaken
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 84 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. to determine the potential for the presence of karst hazard. The desktop evaluation shall include but not be limited to the search and review of the following information: i) Mapping that shows historic and present day karst, ground and bedrock topography, physiography, hydrology, Quaternary and Paleozoic bedrock geology, glacial tills and partial aquitards; ii) Existing engineering, geological (including oil / gas and geotechnical well records), hydrogeologic, hydrologic, geographic, agricultural studies and land use publications; iii) Surface water and groundwater well record data to determine the position of the water table and seasonal fluctuations, rainfall records, river discharge data, water chemistry data; iv) Comparison of historic and recent air photos and / or satellite imagery to determine changes in the landscape that may have resulted from karstification and subsurface drainage and / or anthropogenic changes,· v) A visit to the property to provide comparison to historic air photo and / or satellite imagery to evaluate changes in the landscape If the Phase 1 evaluation determines that karst is not present, no further study of karst is required in support of a Planning Act application. Should the evaluation identify the presence of karst features and / or karst terrain characteristics, a Phase 2 evaluation will be required. b) Phase 2- Field-Based Karst Investigation In areas where a Phase 1 evaluation has identified the presence of karst features and / or karst formation characteristics, a field-based karst evaluation shall be required, to be undertaken by a qualified geologist. A terms-of-reference shall be completed in consultation with the appropriate approval authority and / or any relevant agencies which outlines the investigation type that will be undertaken for the subject lands. The types of field work required will be determined based on the areal extent and complexity of the proposed development relative to the risk or potential for impacts related to karst. The types of field work that may be required include, but are not limited to, the following:
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 85 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. i) Passive Geologic/Geomorphologic Methods - primarily for the detection and mapping of sinkholes and caves; ii) Soil Probing - to determine the risk of soil subsidence; iii) Rock Drilling and Well Records - to determine the karstic nature of the bedrock groundwater; iv) Dye-Tracer Studies - to determine the sources, speed and direction of shallow potable water movement within bedrock. c) Phase 3 - Mitigation In areas where a Phase 2 evaluation confirms the presence of a karst hazard, a geotechnical study and land use compatibility study shall be undertaken by qualified individuals. The studies shall be required to: i) Assess the impacts and risks to surface and groundwater contamination and/or construction restrictions due to unstable bedrock conditions; ii) Identify compatible land use activities for which the karst topography does not pose a hazard, including identifying incompatible industrial and waste management uses that may contaminate the groundwater and alter the water table; iii) Establish any required development restrictions including limiting extensive blasting, intensive construction that would create excessive weight, and the alteration of drainage that could compromise underlying caves or buried sinkholes; iv) Establish, where necessary, a karst feature buffer to restrict development around a specific hazard.” 89. 6.6 – Unstable Amend Section 6.6 by adding after subsection 6.6.1 the following subsection: Slopes, Unstable “6.6.2 Geotechnical Assessments Bedrock and Organic Soils 1. Geotechnical assessments, hydrogeological studies, river morphology studies, erosion control plans and/or other supporting technical studies will be required to satisfy the tests set out in the “Hazardous Sites Technical Guide”, MNR, 2006. The studies will:
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 86 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. a) accurately delineate the Riverine Erosion Hazard Limit; b) identify existing erosion and/or slope instability hazards; c) assess the impact of the proposed development on existing hazards; d) assess the potential for the proposed development to create new hazards; e) identify measures to safely avoid the potential hazards, including appropriate development setbacks from the Erosion Hazard Limit; f) identify and address any associated impacts that development adjacent to the Erosion Hazard Limit will have on components of the Natural Heritage System. 2. The County and local municipalities shall require that the geotechnical assessment and other technical studies be completed by qualified professional and to its satisfaction, in consultation with the relevant Conservation Authority and other public agencies, prior to the approval of an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-Law Amendment, subdivision application, consent application or site plan application. 3. A geotechnical assessment and other required technical studies may be completed as part of an Environmental Impact Study in accordance with Section 5.6 of this Plan.” 90. 6.8.3 - Other Amend subsection 6.8.3 by: Contaminated Sites a) Numbering the first paragraph as policy 1; b) Numbering the second paragraph as policy 2 and by adding before the first sentence the following text: “While the identification of potentially contaminated sites is important in the planning application review process, the policies in this section should not be interpreted as a commitment on the part of the County and the local municipalities to identify all contaminated sites or properties. Rather, the objective of the County is to responsibly utilize available information in the development application review process in order to help ensure that development takes place only on sites where the environmental conditions are suitable for the proposed use of the site.”; c) Deleting in its entirety the third paragraph; d) Adding after policy 2 the following new policies to be numbered from 3 to 11:
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 87 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. “3. The proponent will be required to document previous uses of a property or properties that are subject of a development application and/or properties that may be adversely impacting the property that is subject of a development application in order to assist in the determination of the potential for site contamination. 4. An affidavit will be required from a qualified person as defined by provincial legislation and regulations, confirming that a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) has been completed in accordance with Ontario Regulation 153/04, as amended from time to time, as follows: a) For all other development applications under the Planning Act where a property or properties have been identified through the approval authority’s development review process as potentially contaminated due to previous or existing uses on or adjacent to the property. A phase I ESA documents the previous uses of the property and provides an assessment of the actual or potential soil or groundwater contamination on the site. 5. Where a Phase 1 ESA indicates that the property or properties that are subject of a development application under the Planning Act may be contaminated, the County and the local municipalities will require the application to be supported by an affidavit from a qualified person, as defined by provincial legislation and regulations, confirming that a Phase 2 ESA has been completed in accordance with Ontario Regulation 153/04, as amended from time to time. A Phase 2 ESA provides a sampling and analysis of the property to confirm and delineate the presence of soil or groundwater contamination at the site or confirm the absence of contamination at the site. 6. For a property or properties that have been identified through the approval authority’s development review process as potentially contaminated due to previous or existing uses on or adjacent to the property and where the approval authority determines that there is a proposed change in land use to a more sensitive use, the approval authority will: a) Require as a condition of development approval, verification to the satisfaction of the approval authority from a qualified person, as defined by provincial legislation and regulations, that the property or properties in question are suitable or have been made suitable for the proposed use in

Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 101 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. The high quality of darkness of the night skies in the County is a defining element of the rural character of the area. “Dark Skies Friendly” lighting is described as the practice of installing and maintaining outdoor lighting fixtures that direct sufficient light downward and minimizes light trespass and blinding glare. Dark Skies Friendly lighting enhances the safety of citizens and increases the security of property. Exterior lighting is used to illuminate roadways, parking lots, yards, sidewalks and pathways, public meeting areas, work sites and home and building exteriors. Dark Skies Friendly lighting increases the visibility of hazards, improves the safety of citizens and provides a sense of security in the community. The County and the local municipalities benefit from responsible, well-designed lighting in the following ways: • it minimizes energy use; • it reduces operating and maintenance costs; • it increases the safety of citizens; • it maintains and enhances the quality of darkness of the night skies; and, • it can enhance property values. Poor lighting can give rise to: • glare which can severely hamper the vision of drivers, pedestrians and cyclists and which can reduce security by producing dark shadows; • light trespass which may direct light onto neighbouring properties and into windows thereby reducing privacy; • sky glow which directs lighting upwards and undermines the integrity of night sky resources. Sky glow symbolizes wasted energy and washes out our view of the night sky; • energy waste which increases operating and environmental costs associated with energy production. The following “dark skies” policies may be implemented in all development and redevelopment approvals:
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 102 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. a) All development applications may be required to include a photometric plan of the site showing the proposed design light levels, along with details the exterior light fixtures proposed to be used at the site. b) Light spillage from new development and redevelopment projects onto adjacent properties and roads shall be avoided. The target light levels at the development property’s boundaries shall be 0.0 foot-candles. c) All exterior light fixtures shall be properly shielded to prevent glare and to direct light downwards and onto the development property. d) Light wattages may have to be reduced where reflective surfaces on the site may cause secondary (reflected) glare and light trespass. e) These policies may be implemented through the subdivision and site plan approval processes. f) Council may enact a Dark Skies By-law in order to further implement these policies.
7.4.6 Planning Impact Analysis Planning Impact Analysis may be used to evaluate applications for an Official Plan amendment and/or zone change, to determine the appropriateness of a proposed change in land use, and to identify ways of reducing any adverse impacts on surrounding uses. Depending upon the situation, other criteria may also be considered. County and/or municipal staff may request that the applicant provide a planning rationale, conducted by a qualified professional, which may also consider the criteria specified under Section 7.4.6.1 of this Plan.
7.4.6.1 Scope of Planning Impact Analysis Planning Impact Analysis may be undertaken by a qualified professional in accordance with the provisions for Official Plan amendment and/or zone change applications per the Planning Act. Proposals for changes in the use of land which require the application of Planning Impact Analysis may be evaluated on the basis of criteria relevant to the proposed change. Other criteria may be considered through the Planning Impact Analysis to assist in the evaluation of the proposed change. Where an Official Plan
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 103 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. amendment and/or zone change application is being considered, the following criteria may be considered: a) compatibility of proposed uses with surrounding land uses, and the likely impact of the proposed development on present and future land uses in the area; b) the size and shape of the parcel of land on which a proposal is to be located, and the ability of the site to accommodate the intensity of the proposed use; c) the supply of vacant land in the area which is already designated and/or zoned for the proposed use; d) the proximity of any proposal for medium or high density residential development to public open space and recreational facilities, community facilities, and transit services, and the adequacy of these facilities and services; e) the need for affordable housing in the area, and in the local municipality as a whole, as determined by the Housing policies of Section 7.6 f) the height, location and spacing of any buildings in the proposed development, and any potential impacts on surrounding land uses; g) the extent to which the proposed development provides for the retention of any desirable vegetation or natural features that contribute to the visual character of the surrounding area; h) the location of vehicular access points and their compliance with the County and/or municipal road access policies and Site Plan Control By-law, and the likely impact of traffic generated by the proposal on municipal streets or regional roads, on pedestrian and vehicular safety, and on surrounding properties; i) the exterior design in terms of the bulk, scale, and layout of buildings, and the integration of these uses with present and future land uses in the area; j) the potential impact of the development on surrounding natural features and heritage resources;
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 104 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. k) constraints posed by the environment, including but not limited to locations where adverse effects from landfill sites, sewage treatment plants, methane gas, contaminated soils, noise, ground borne vibration and rail safety may limit development; l) compliance of the proposed development with the provisions of the County and local municipality’s Official Plan, Zoning By-law, Site Plan Control By- law, and Sign Control By-law; m) measures planned by the applicant to mitigate any adverse impacts on surrounding land uses and streets and/or roads which have been identified as part of the Planning Impact Analysis; n) impacts of the proposed change on the transportation system; o) results and recommendations of a Heritage Impact Assessment may be considered as a criteria in the decision making process to ensure that the preservation or significant built heritage resources are maintained; and p) hydrogeological and/or geotechnical studies to assess the potential impact on source water aquifers. q) conformity with the Planning Act, Provincial Policy Statement and other applicable legislation.

Areas of archaeological potential are determined through the use of provincial screening criteria, or criteria developed based on the known archaeological record within the County. Such criteria include features such as proximity to water such as current or ancient shorelines, rolling topography, unusual landforms, and any locally known significant heritage areas such as portage routes or other places of past human settlement. Council may consider archaeological preservation on site, to ensure that the integrity of the resource is maintained. The heritage integrity of archaeological resources can be preserved by adopting Archaeological Zoning by-laws under section 34 of the Planning Act, to prohibit any land use activities or the erection of buildings or structures on land which is a site of a significant archaeological resource. Council shall:
Amendment No. 27 to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Page 119 of 140 2015 Item Section Details of Amendment Policy No. protect cultural heritage resources within their jurisdiction by using the Ontario Heritage Act for designation or conservation agreements; establish and keep a municipal register; and establish a municipal heritage committee that will advise local council on heritage matters. Council shall maintain a cultural heritage resource database and\or heritage management plans for land use planning, resulting in inventories (which has an unofficial status by contributing to the municipal register without taking its place) of significant heritage buildings, heritage districts, cultural heritage landscapes, archaeological sites, and archaeological potential areas located within the County. The heritage resources policies of this plan shall apply when: conserving heritage buildings, cultural heritage landscapes and archaeological resources that are under municipal ownership and\or stewardship; conserving and mitigating impacts to all significant cultural heritage resources, when undertaking public works; respecting the heritage resources identified, recognized or designated by federal and provincial agencies; respecting the heritage designations and other heritage conservation efforts by local municipalities Properties may be identified by: Designation under Parts IV, V or VI of the Ontario Heritage Act; Protection through a heritage easement, entered into under the Ontario Heritage Act; Recognition by council as having cultural heritage value; Recognition by the Ontario Minister of Culture as a provincial Heritage Property under Part III of the Ontario Heritage Act; or, Designation by the National Historic Sites and Monuments Board as a National Historic Sites.

Council shall use criteria established by Provincial regulation under the Ontario Heritage Act for determining cultural heritage value or interest and for identifying and evaluating properties for listing in the Heritage Register and for designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. Council may permit development and site alteration on adjacent lands located to protected heritage property where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conserved. A heritage impact assessment, conducted by a qualified professional, will be required to determine if any adverse impacts will result from a proposed development. Mitigative measures and/or alternative development approaches may be required for the conservation of heritage attributes of a protected heritage property. Council shall ensure that lower tier municipal official plans have policies consistent with the heritage policies developed in this County official plan. The Ontario Heritage Act may be utilized to conserve, protect and enhance any significant cultural heritage resources located within the County.
7.7.2 Archeological and Heritage Planning Council shall obtain updated archaeological site mapping from the Ministry of Culture under the provisions of a municipal-provincial data sharing agreement, and update this database as new archaeological sites are identified from land development and on the Provincial archaeological sites database.

Any alterations to known archaeological sites shall only be performed by licensed archaeologists, as per Section 48 of the Ontario Heritage Act. Council views the preservation of archaeological sites in an intact condition as the preferred means for the mitigation of impacts to archaeological sites. Archaeological excavation as a means for the mitigation of impacts will only be considered when it is demonstrated that preservation is not possible.
7.7.2.2 Marine Archaeological Resources Council recognizes that, within its boundaries, there may be marine archaeological remains from the pre-historic period through the modern era up to the last 50 years. These marine archaeological resources may include the remains of ships, boats, vessels, artifacts from the contents of boats and belongings of crew or passengers, weaponry, parts of ship construction, old piers, docks, wharfs, fords, fishing traps, dwellings, aircraft and other items of cultural heritage value. The remains may currently be under water or were, at one time, under water but are no longer submerged. Council shall, prior to approving a development proposal, require a marine archaeological assessment to be conducted by a licensed marine archaeologist, pursuant to the Ontario Heritage Act.
7.7.3 Promotion of Cultural Heritage Council shall promote the cultural values of the communities within the County through the identification and support of the full range of cultural assets of the County. These assets include buildings and lands, rivers and natural heritage, but also activities, organizations, festivals and events. Council supports a view of culture as community heritage, shared values, traditions and beliefs, as well as discrete sectors of the economy which are important contributors to future wealth. The latter include performing arts, visual arts, literary arts, crafts, heritage, design arts, communications media, electronics arts and civic arts. Council may from time to time create and maintain a cultural assets inventory for purposes of identifying, protecting, nurturing and promoting connections between cultural assets, heritage conservation, and economic development.

Cultural development will support and complement broader economic development and tourism initiatives within both the urban and rural areas.
7.7.4 Cultural Resources and Waterfront Development In considering applications for waterfront development, Council shall ensure that cultural heritage resources both on shore and in the water are not adversely affected. When necessary, Council will require satisfactory measures to mitigate any negative impacts on significant cultural heritage resources.
7.7.5 Accessibility and Heritage Conservation In attaining its goal for establishing a barrier-free environment to county and municipally-owned property, Council shall provide access solutions in a manner that respects the cultural heritage value or interest of a protected property. Council recognizes that standardized designs may not always suffice and that each heritage property will require unique accessibility plans to ensure that alterations do not adversely affect the heritage attributes. Council encourages this practice for privately-owned heritage buildings that are open to and used by the public.
7.7.6 Waste Reduction / Adaptive Re-use Council shall support the reduction of waste from construction debris as a result of the demolition of buildings by promoting and encouraging the adaptive reuse of older and existing building stock.

RAPPORT DU COMITÉ PLÉNIER
Au président et aux membres du conseil, Comtés unis de Prescott et Russell
Le Comité plénier s’est réuni le 12 août 2015 à 9 h.
Présences : MM. Robert Kirby, Gary J. Barton, Jeanne Charlebois, Guy Desjardins, Fernand Dicaire, Conrad Lamadeleine, Pierre Leroux et François St-Amour, membres.
MM. Stéphane P. Parisien, Michel Chrétien, Marc Clermont, Anne Comtois Lalonde, Louise Lalonde, Carole Lavigne, Louise Lepage-Gareau, Louis Prévost, Jonathan B. Roy, et Jean St-Pierre, chefs de département.
Absences : Andrée Latreille, greffière.
Le rapport est présenté comme suit:
1. Rapport économique pour le Campus d’Alfred Mme Lise Bourgeois, présidente du Collège La Cité, assure les membres du Conseil que la formation francophone agricole continuera au campus d’Alfred. Elle explique que la Province vient d’approuver six nouveaux programmes et que le nom de La Cité apparait maintenant sur le bâtiment. Plus de 70 étudiants se sont inscrits pour le prochain semestre, mais il existe une nécessité d’y inclure un volet de développement économique. Elle assure que la relance est enclenchée et le comité de développement économique du Campus d’Alfred a créé le Centre d’innovation et de transformation agroalimentaire (CITA) de Prescott et Russell, intégré au campus d’Alfred. Ceci comprend trois volets, dont l’éducation, la recherche et l’innovation, et le développement économique, ainsi que trois paliers de gouvernement, dont le fédéral, le provincial et le municipal.
M. John Candie explique l’historique du projet, dont l’étude d’impact économique de Millier Dickinson Blais, les consultations avec plusieurs intervenants et les rencontres de travail. M. Brock Dickinson de la firme Millier Dickinson Blais explique la direction actuelle du projet de revitalisation proposé, et comment elle contribue aux objectifs régionaux. La méthodologie est basée sur le rapport préparé par Marc Godbout, le consultant embauché par la province en 2014, toutefois dans le but d’aller plus loin au niveau du développement d’entreprises locales. L’équipe de relance veut développer un plan de projet qui maximise les contributions externes et minimise les contributions locales. L’équipe a rencontré plusieurs intervenants dans le secteur agroalimentaire et agro-technologique, entre autres au Québec, au Manitoba et en Ohio, afin d’identifier les meilleures pratiques de transformation alimentaire et garantir la viabilité financière du nouveau Campus.
M. Dickinson explique que l’approche budgétaire sera de maximiser les contributions des paliers supérieurs du gouvernement et d’autres sources de financement autres que le secteur municipal. Le budget préliminaire est de 10,2 millions $ sur 5 ans provenant de sources provinciales et fédérales, avec 5,6 millions $ en revenus sur 5 ans. Le manque à gagner sera de 3,97 millions $ sur 5 ans, mais ce chiffre pourrait baisser une fois que le budget sera affiné et si certaines activités de recherche et du secteur privé se présentent. La majorité du manque (3,4 millions $) sera nécessaire dans les deux premières années.
Le maire de Clarence-Rockland soulève le point du manque à gagner de 4 millions $, indiquant que les CUPR ne peuvent pas financer ce montant et que l’équipe doit faire de son mieux de trouver d’autres sources de financement. La mairesse de Hawkesbury seconde ce point et réitère le besoin de trouver du financement du secteur agricole- industriel. M. Dickinson explique qu’en cherchant des contributions locales dans les deux premières années, et les aligner avec le réaménagement du campus, d’autres sources de financement privé pourraient venir de firmes qui vont vouloir élargir leurs opérations à travers le CITA. Au cours du prochain mois, le comité de travail retravaillera le budget afin de réduire le manque à gagner. Mme Bourgeois ajoute que l’équipe reviendra pour faire un suivi devant le Conseil au mois de septembre.
Comité plénier - 2 - L’Orignal, Ontario le 12 août 2015
2. Fédération des aînés et retraités francophones (FARFO) M. Alain Vachon, directeur général sortant de la FARFO et maintenant bénévole dans le cadre du programme Sécurité Info Santé (SIS), explique les objectifs de ce programme visant les ainés et retraités francophones isolés dans la région. Un des objectifs principaux de la FARFO est de faciliter le travail des Services d’urgence, en développant une trousse entreposée au congélateur pour que les personnes ainées sachent que si une situation urgente se présente, les intervenants de première ligne seront outillés pour agir efficacement grâce aux informations pertinentes présentées dans cette capsule.
M. Vachon présente les membres du comité consultatif : Sylvie Leclair, directrice générale des Services communautaires de Prescott-Russell; Denise Lemire, directrice générale de la FARFO provinciale; Raymond Legault, président de la FARFO régionale de l’Est; et Andréanne Gougeon, coordonnatrice des bénévoles du programme S.I.S.
Le projet SIS, lequel a débuté le 31 octobre 2014, est subventionné par la Fondation Trillium de l’Ontario pour une période de 24 mois. M. Vachon explique le développement de la capsule, le procès de recrutement des personnes ciblées ainsi que les rôles du comité consultatif et des bénévoles. Mme Gougeon explique les outils de promotion et invite les membres à assister au lancement public le 16 septembre prochain à St-Isidore. Le comité reviendra d’ici deux ans pour un appui financier et moral, notamment car ce projet a pour but de réduire le volume d’appels aux Services d’urgence et d’incendie.
3. L’étude d’évaluation environnementale de portée générale (région de Hawkesbury) Le directeur des Travaux publics rappelle que le précédent Conseil a mandaté son département de faire une étude sur le chemin de comté 17 à Hawkesbury. La firme AECOM a été retenue pour faire l’étude et deux réunions publiques ont été tenues.
Mme Vanessa Skelton, ingénieure principale en transport chez AECOM, présente le bilan de l’étude d’évaluation environnementale de portée générale de la région de Hawkesbury et du chemin de comté 17. Elle explique que cette étude a été lancée à la fin de 2013 afin d’effectuer une évaluation détaillée de la demande future en transport est-ouest le long de ce corridor. L’étude maintenant réalisée, le plan recommandé est de créer deux voies de 3,75 m dans chaque direction, des voies de virage à droite en direction ouest, un ilot en béton surélevé, de nouveaux ponceaux aux entrées, des fossés, et des feux de signalisation aux endroits suivants : la rue Tupper, l’entrée au Plaza Harden, et la rue Cameron. Plusieurs études ont été menées, notamment de l’archéologie, de bruit et du milieu biologique.
Afin de répondre aux questions des membres, M. Clermont explique que les volumes de circulation actuels et projetés exigent l’ajout de feux supplémentaires aux deux endroits, particulièrement lorsque le côté sud est développé d’ici 20 ans. Des passages pour piétons ainsi que des accotements asphaltés ont également été considérés. La vitesse affichée de 70 km/h pourrait également baisser à 60 km/h lorsque le développement du côté sud du chemin de comté 17 aura lieu. Les membres fournissent d’autres suggestions.
M. Clermont réitère que ces changements sont considérés comme nécessaires, et que AECOM fera des présentations supplémentaires aux membres du conseil de Champlain et de Hawkesbury. Le coût estimé pour le projet est de 12,1 millions $, incluant tous les travaux décrits dans le plan recommandé, un forfait supplémentaire pour les imprévus, un forfait supplémentaire pour les plans, devis et l’administration de contrat, et une allocation pour les utilités publiques. Les partenaires auraient à assumer des coûts de construction d’environ 300 000 $, divisé entre les CUPR (50 %) la Ville de Hawkesbury (25 %) et le Canton de Champlain (25 %). Les CUPR s’acquitteront de tous les autres coûts associés aux améliorations du carrefour. Toute amélioration future du carrefour sera la responsabilité des promoteurs. Un avis d’achèvement sera publié pour confirmer la fin de l’étude d’évaluation environnementale et le rapport sera mis à la disposition du public pendant une période de 30 jours pour des commentaires écrits.
4. Rapport de CIMA+ sur la désignation des agrégats près de Jessup’s Falls Stuart David, urbaniste pour la firme CIMA+ basée à Ottawa, explique que le but de son rapport est de fournir un avis d’aménagement indépendant sur la révision du Plan officiel en ce qui concerne la région de Jessup’s Falls. L’équipe de CIMA+ a consulté plusieurs documents afin de préparer son rapport, tels que le Plan officiel actuel des CUPR, les Comité plénier - 3 - L’Orignal, Ontario le 12 août 2015
modifications proposées au Plan officiel, et la Déclaration de principes provinciale de 2014. Deux conclusions ont été tirées par la firme : 1) que la décision du Conseil de ne pas désigner la région de Jessup’s Falls en tant qu’un secteur de « ressources en agrégats » représente une bonne planification de l’aménagement du territoire, et 2) que la suppression proposée d’une portion des Zones d'intérêt naturel et scientifique (ZINS) dans ce secteur ne répond pas aux politiques de la Déclaration de principes provinciale de 2014 ni du Plan officiel, et ne devrait pas être inclus dans la révision finale du Plan officiel.
Le maire de Champlain explique les préoccupations parmi les municipalités de Prescott et Russell en ce qui trait de la protection des terrains boisés importants, et remit en question la possibilité de pouvoir appliquer une telle politique. M. David répond qu’une certaine directive se trouve dans la section 2.1.2 de la Déclaration de principes provinciale, selon laquelle « la biodiversité à long terme des systèmes du patrimoine naturel doit être maintenue, restaurée ou, si possible, améliorée ». Il est donc de l’avis que ce serait contre le Plan officiel et la DPP d’enlever la désignation ZINS du terrain en question.
5. Tente de Prescott et Russell et participation des municipalités au Concours international de labour 2015 Le maire de Champlain rappelle que les municipalités des CUPR se sont engagées à participer au prochain Concours international de labour à Finch, ou 80 000 à 100 000 personnes sont attendues, dont au moins 50 % provenant de l’extérieur de notre région. Il souhaite encourager toutes les municipalités à participer dans le projet de la tente Prescott et Russell, toutefois il est au courant que certaines municipalités sont moins favorables à l’idée en raison du coût.
La directrice du développement économique et touristique explique que les CUPR vont défrayer le coût de location de la tente et du terrain, au montant de 10 000 $. Chaque municipalité est demandée de contribuer 1 000 $ et de fournir son propre personnel. La mairesse de Hawkesbury et le maire de Clarence-Rockland demandent que les CUPR payent la portion exigée de chaque municipalité, car elles fournissent déjà le temps de leur personnel. Suite à une discussion entre Mme Lavigne et le directeur général, il fut proposé que la demande soit présentée lors de la prochaine session du Conseil.
LE COMITÉ RECOMMANDE que l’Administration prépare une résolution à cet effet pour la considération du Conseil lors de la prochaine session.
6. Journée Glengarry-Prescott-Russell à Queen’s Park Le directeur général rappelle que la date de la prochaine Journée Glengarry-Prescott- Russell est le mercredi 7 octobre. Le bureau du député provincial Grant Crack a demandé que les CUPR fassent parvenir les priorités des huit municipalités afin de déterminer le déroulement de la journée et de fixer les rencontres appropriées avec les ministres et leur personnel. M. Parisien suggère de fournir une liste comportant un dossier prioritaire de chaque municipalité et deux des CUPR. Il demande aux membres de faire parvenir cette information à son bureau au plus vite possible. Pour ce qui est des dossiers régionaux, il fut décidé que le transfert du chemin du comté 17 est une des priorités.
7. Terrain vacant de la paroisse St-Jean Baptiste Le directeur général fait part que les CUPR ont signé l’entente et l’offre d’achat pour le stationnement de la paroisse de St-Jean-Baptiste. Les Comtés sont responsables de fournir un plan d’arpentage, mais ils devraient être propriétaires du terrain d’ici la fin du mois. Afin de répondre au maire de Champlain, le directeur général ajoute que la propriété au 28 et 36, rue Court appartiendra aux CUPR le 31 août 2015.
8. Renouvellement des assurances collectives Le directeur des Ressources humaines fait part que le consortium comportant les CUPR et cinq municipalités locales doit renouveler sa police d’assurance le 1er septembre, ce qui permet de financer les hausses dans le prochain budget. Il explique les avantages du consortium, notamment que ce groupe profite de meilleurs prix en étant plus large. Ce renouvellement étant le dernier cycle avant de retourner au marché, M. Roy invite les autres municipalités de se joindre au consortium. Les membres peuvent signaler leur l’intérêt au département des Ressources humaines d’ici le printemps 2016.
Comité plénier - 4 - L’Orignal, Ontario le 12 août 2015
M. Roy informe que le partage d’expérience dans le cadre du consortium permet d’éviter la volatilité dans les prix d’année en année, toutefois les taux ne changeront pas. Le directeur général ajoute que le partage d’expérience permet également de réguler et de stabiliser la prime d’assurance d’une année à l’autre en profitant de hausses plus modérées.
9. Mise à jour du plan officiel Le directeur de l’Urbanisme et de Foresterie informe qu’il présentera la révision du Plan officiel au Conseil dans deux semaines. Parmi les commentaires reçus le 26 juin dernier, la plupart des inquiétudes portaient sur Ivaco, le chemin de comté 17, et le secteur de Jessup’s Falls. Son département a apporté des modifications mineures à huit sections, et ces changements sont reflétés dans le document du Plan officiel disponible sur le site web des CUPR. M. Prévost explique que le document qui sera présenté à la prochaine session n’est pas un document du Plan officiel, mais plutôt 140 pages comportant tous les amendements et 180 pages de cartes détaillées. Ce document sera soumis au ministère des Affaires municipales pour son approbation.
Faisant suite à la délégation de CIMA+ ce matin, il demande aux membres s’ils veulent apporter des modifications au document. Sinon, il sera préparé pour l’adoption du Conseil le 26 août. Le ministère des Affaires municipales recevra le document, examinera les modifications proposées, et reviendra aux CUPR avec d’autres propositions afin de négocier la révision finale du Plan officiel. Afin de répondre à la mairesse de Hawkesbury, M. Prévost explique que le projet de loi 73 ne s’appliquera pas dans le cas présent, car il constitue seulement une révision.
10. Demandes de subvention Le directeur des Travaux publics explique que les CUPR ont fait une demande cet été pour du financement sous deux programmes provinciaux : le Programme ontarien pour le réseau municipal d'infrastructure cyclable, afin de paver les accotements, et le Fonds ontarien pour l’infrastructure communautaire, pour un pont sur la Concession 7 à Hawkesbury-Est. Il ajoute que la province offre plus de financement que le fédéral pour ce qui est de la deuxième demande.
11. Ajournement La réunion du comité plénier est levée à 11h49.
LE TOUT VOUS EST RESPECTUEUSEMENT SOUMIS.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
To the Warden and Members of Council, United Counties of Prescott and Russell
The Committee of the Whole met in L’Orignal at 9:00 a.m. on August 12, 2015.
Were present: Robert Kirby, Gary J. Barton, Jeanne Charlebois, Guy Desjardins, Fernand Dicaire, Conrad Lamadeleine, Pierre Leroux and François St- Amour, Council Members.
Stéphane P. Parisien, Michel Chrétien, Marc Clermont, Anne Comtois Lalonde, Louise Lalonde, Carole Lavigne, Louise Lepage-Gareau, Louis Prévost, Jonathan B. Roy, and Jean St-Pierre, Department Heads.
Were absent: Andrée Latreille, Clerk.
The report is presented as follows:
1. Economic Report of the Alfred Campus Ms. Lise Bourgeois, President of Collège La Cité, assured the Council members that francophone agricultural education will continue at the Alfred campus. She explained that the province has approved six new programs and that the name of La Cité now appears on the building. More than 70 students have registered for the next semester, but there is a need to include an economic development component. She assured that the relaunch has been initiated and the Economic Development Committee of the Alfred Campus has established the Centre for Innovation and Food Processing (CITA) of Prescott and Russell, integrated into the Alfred Campus. This has three components, being education, research and innovation, and economic development, as well as three levels of government, being the federal, provincial and municipal levels.
Mr. John Candie detailed the history of the project, including the economic impact study of the Millier Dickinson Blais firm, consultations with several stakeholders, and working meetings. Mr. Brock Dickinson of the Millier Dickinson Blais firm explained the current direction of the proposed revitalization project, and how it contributes to regional objectives. The methodology is based on the report prepared by Marc Godbout, the consultant hired by the province in 2014, however with the goal of going further in terms of local business development. The relaunch team wants to develop a project plan that maximizes external contributions and minimizes local contributions. The team met with several stakeholders in the agribusiness and agro-technology sectors, in Quebec, Manitoba and Ohio, in order to identify best practices in food processing and guarantee the financial viability of the new Campus.
Mr. Dickinson explained that the budgetary approach would maximize contributions from upper levels of government and funding sources other than the municipal sector. The preliminary budget is $10.2 million over 5 years from provincial and federal sources, with $5.6 million in revenue over 5 years. The shortfall would be $3.97 million over 5 years, but this figure could drop once the budget is refined and if some research activities and private sector opportunities arise. Most of the shortfall ($3.4 million) would be required in the first two years.
The Mayor of Clarence-Rockland raised the issue of the $4-million shortfall, indicating that the UCPR cannot finance this amount and that the team should do its best to find other sources of funding. The Mayor of Hawkesbury concurred and reiterated the need to find funding within the agricultural-industrial sector. Mr. Dickinson said that in seeking local contributions in the first two years, and aligning them with the redevelopment of the campus, other private contributions might come from private-sector interests looking to expand their operations through the CITA. In the coming months, the working committee will rework the budget in order to reduce the shortfall. Ms. Bourgeois added that the team would return with an update to Council in September.
Committee of the Whole - 2 - L’Orignal, Ontario August 12, 2015
2. Fédération des aînés et retraités francophones (FARFO) Mr. Alain Vachon, outgoing Director General of the FARFO and now a volunteer with the Sécurité Info Santé (SIS) program, explained the objectives of this program targeted at isolated francophone seniors and retirees in the region. One of the main objectives of the FARFO is to facilitate the work of the Emergency Services, by developing a capsule to be kept in the freezer. If an urgent situation arises involving a senior, first responders will be better equipped to act effectively, using the relevant information in this capsule.
Mr. Vachon introduced the members of the advisory committee: Sylvie Leclair, Executive Director of Prescott-Russell Community Services; Denise Lemire, Executive Director of the provincial FARFO; Raymond Legault, president of the eastern regional FARFO; and Andréanne Gougeon, volunteer coordinator of the SIS program.
The SIS project, which launched on October 31, 2014, is funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation for a period of 24 months. Mr. Vachon explained the development of the capsule, the recruitment process of targeted individuals, and the roles of the Advisory Committee and volunteers. Ms. Gougeon explained the promotional tools and invited members to attend the public launch on September 16 in St-Isidore. The committee plans to return to Council in two years for financial and moral support, especially as this project aims to reduce the volume of calls to both emergency and fire services.
3. Hawkesbury Area Class Environmental Assessment Study The Public Works Director recalled that the previous Council mandated his department to produce a study on County Road 17 to Hawkesbury. The AECOM firm was selected to prepare this study and two public meetings were held as part of the process.
Ms. Vanessa Skelton, Senior Transportation Engineer at AECOM, presented a summary of the environmental assessment study of the Hawkesbury region and County Road 17. She explained that the study was initiated to conduct a detailed evaluation of the future east-west transportation demand along County Road 17. With the study now completed, the recommended plan is to install two lanes (3.75 metres wide) in each direction, westbound right turn lanes, raised concrete medians, new culverts at entrance locations, open ditches, as well as traffic signals at Tupper Street, at the Harden Plaza entrance and at Cameron Street. Several studies have been conducted, including an archeological study, a noise study and a natural environment study.
In order to respond to members' questions, Mr. Clermont explained that current and projected traffic volumes require additional lights in both new places, especially once the south side of County Road 17 becomes developed in 20 years. Crosswalks and paved shoulders have also been considered. The posted speed limit of 70 km/h could also be reduced to 60 km/h once the development on the south side of County Road 17 occurs. Members provided additional suggestions.
Mr. Clermont reiterated that these changes are considered to be necessary, noting that additional presentations from AECOM will be made to councils in both Champlain and Hawkesbury. The estimated cost for the project is $12.1 million, including all roadworks described in the recommended plan, a contingency fee, a design and construction administration fee, and an allotment for utility relocation and connections. Partners would cover construction costs of about $300,000, shared between the UCPR (50%), the Town of Hawkesbury (25%) and the Township of Champlain (25%). The UCPR will cover all other costs associated with the intersection improvements, and any future improvement of the intersection will be the responsibility of developers. A Notice of Study Completion will be published to confirm the completion of the Environmental Assessment Study, and the Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be available to the public for a 30-day review period, during which written comments can be provided.
4. Report from CIMA+ on the aggregate designation near Jessup’s Falls Mr. Stuart David, an urban planner with CIMA+, based in Ottawa, explained the purpose of his report is to provide an independent land-use planning opinion on the Official Plan review as it relates to the Jessup’s Falls area. The CIMA+ team consulted several documents to prepare its report, such as the current UCPR Official Plan, the proposed amendments to UCPR Official Plan, and the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). Two conclusions were drawn by the firm: 1) that Council’s decision to not designate the Jessup's Falls area as an “Aggregate Resources” area represents good land-use Committee of the Whole - 3 - L’Orignal, Ontario August 12, 2015
planning, and 2) that the proposed removal of a portion of the Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI) in this area does not satisfy the policies of the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement or the Official Plan, and should not be included in final revision of the Official Plan.
The Mayor of Champlain explained the concerns among municipalities in Prescott and Russell in regards to protecting significant woodlands, and questioned the reality of enforcing such a policy. Mr. David replied that there is some direction to be found in the Provincial Policy Statement, under Section 2.1.2, whereby “the biodiversity of natural heritage systems, should be maintained, restored or, where possible, improved.” He is therefore of the opinion that it would be against the Official Plan and the PPS to remove the ANSI designation from the land in question.
5. Prescott and Russell Tent and participation of local municipalities at the 2015 International Plowing Match The Mayor of Champlain recalled that the municipalities of the UCPR have committed to participating in the upcoming International Plowing Match (IPM) in Finch, where 80,000 to 100,000 people are expected to be attendance, with at least 50% from outside the region. He encouraged all municipalities to participate in the Prescott and Russell tent, however he is aware that some municipalities are less favorable to the idea because of cost concerns.
The Economic Development and Tourism Director explained that the UCPR will be paying the rental of the tent and the land, at a cost of $10,000, but that each municipality is being asked to contribute $1,000 and provide its own staff. The Mayor of Hawkesbury and the Mayor of Clarence-Rockland requested that the UCPR pay the share requested from each municipality as they are already providing staff time. Following a discussion between Ms. Lavigne and the Chief Administrative Officer, it was proposed that the request be presented at the next Council meeting.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED that the Administration prepare a resolution for Council’s consideration at the next regular meeting.
6. Glengarry-Prescott-Russell Day at Queen’s Park The Chief Administrative Officer reminded members the next Glengarry-Prescott-Russell Day is scheduled for Wednesday, October 7. The office of MPP Grant Crack requested that the UCPR submit the priorities of the eight municipalities to determine the schedule for the day and set the appropriate meetings with Ministers and their staff. Mr. Parisien suggested providing a list containing the priority file of each municipality and two from the UCPR. He asked members to forward this information to his office as soon as possible. With regard to regional issues, it was decided that the transfer of County Road 17 is a priority.
7. Vacant lot at the St-Jean-Baptiste Parish The Chief Administrative Officer noted that the UCPR signed the agreement and the purchase offer for the parking lot of the St-Jean-Baptiste Parish. The UCPR is still responsible for providing a survey plan, but should own the land by the end of the month. Responding to a question from the Mayor of Champlain, the Chief Administrative Officer added that the property at 28 and 36 Court Street will belong to the UCPR on August 31, 2015.
8. Group Insurance Renewal The Human Resources Director noted that the consortium of the UCPR and five local municipalities will renew its insurance policy on September 1, which allows increases to be accounted for in the next budget. He explained the benefits of the consortium, in particular that the group, being a larger entity, benefits from better prices. This renewal being the last cycle before returning to the market, Mr. Roy invited other municipalities to join the consortium. Interested members should signal their interest to the Human Resources department before spring 2016.
Mr. Roy informed that experience sharing within the consortium helps to avoid volatility in prices from year to year, while rates will remain unchanged. The Chief Administrative Officer added that the sharing of experience also helps regulate and stabilize the insurance premium from one year to another, allowing for more moderate increases. Committee of the Whole - 4 - L’Orignal, Ontario August 12, 2015
9. Official Plan Update The Planning and Forestry Director informed members that he will present the Official Plan review to Council in two weeks. Among the comments received on June 26, most of the concerns centered on Ivaco, County Road 17 and the Jessup's Falls area. His department has made minor changes to eight sections, and these changes are reflected in the Official Plan document available on the UCPR website. Mr. Prévost explained that the document to be presented to the next meeting is not an Official Plan document, but rather is 140 pages listing all the amendments and 180 pages of detailed maps. This document will then be submitted to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs for its approval.
Following the delegation of CIMA+ this morning, he asked members if they wished to make any further changes to the document. Otherwise, it will be prepared for Council’s adoption on August 26. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs will receive the document, review the proposed changes, and return it to the UCPR with additional proposals, in order to negotiate the final Official Plan review. Responding to a question from the Mayor of Hawkesbury, Mr. Prévost explained that Bill 73 will not apply in this case as it is only a revision.
10. Funding applications The Public Works Director explained that the UCPR applied this summer for funding from two provincial programs: the Ontario Municipal Cycling Infrastructure Program, in order to pave the road shoulders, and the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund, for a bridge on Concession Road 7 in East Hawkesbury. He added that in regards to the second application, the province provides more funding than the federal level.
11. Adjournment The Committee of the Whole adjourned at 11:49 a.m.
ALL OF WHICH IS RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.

1. Via Rail Carole Lavigne informe le comité de l’amendement no 1 à l’entente originale, reçu de Via Rail. Suite à la signature de cet amendement, Via Rail apportera quelques petites modifications à l’entente entre les CUPR et les voisins du sentier récréatif. M. Fisher a expliqué que la crainte de Via est que des droits de squatteurs soient réclamés par les voisins après avoir entretenu les accotements du sentier durant une période de 10 ans et plus. Il en sera donc la responsabilité des Comtés d’assurer que ceci ne se produise pas et l’entente originale sera modifiée pour inclure cette clause. L’entente pour l’entretien du sentier sera de la même durée que celle entre Via et les Comtés, soit jusqu’en 2020 mais renouvelable pour une période de 10 ans par après. Le comité désire toujours rencontrer M. Fisher pour discussion.
LE COMITÉ RECOMMANDE que le Conseil des Comtés autorise son président à signer l’amendement no1 de l’entente originale afin que Via apporte quelques modifications à l’entente entre les CUPR et les voisins du sentier récréatif.
2. Mise à jour des projets en développement économique et touristique Mme Lavigne fait le bilan des projets en développement économique et touristique. Des 50 projets initiaux, 36 sont toujours actifs, 10 sont complétés et 4 ont été annulés. M. Lamadeleine s’enquiert du programme de récompenses de la carte VIP et Mme Lavigne explique brièvement ce programme qui se veut d’encourager les achats locaux dans Prescott et Russell ainsi que son fonctionnement qui ressemble essentiellement à celui de la carte Air Miles. On discute des marchands participants et du recrutement de nouveaux marchands.
Mme Lavigne mentionne que la tente et le site sont tous deux réservés pour le Concours international de labour à Finch. Elle ajoute qu’une contribution de 1 000 $ de chacune des municipalités est souhaitée afin de réserver leur espace et d’aider avec les coûts de logistique. Le maire St-Amour mentionne que sa municipalité déboursera davantage afin d’être bien représentée puisqu’ils sont voisins de S.D.G. Mme Lavigne ajoute que le concept se veut de représenter géographiquement la forme des Comtés unis dans la tente et aussi d’avoir des kiosques interactifs.
Mme Lavigne mentionne l’opportunité pour les CUPR d’obtenir un record Guinness dans le secteur agricole le 15 août prochain au Festival de la Curd à St-Albert. Le record à battre consiste en l’opération simultanée de plus de 80 moulins à battre durant 15 minutes, l’ancien record étant de 41 moulins. Les Comtés débourseront 1 000 $ pour une publicité.

Mme Lavigne informe le comité que les enseignes touristiques de bienvenue sur l’autoroute 417 seront installées cet été aux entrées de Prescott et Russell.
Mme Lavigne informe que le Centre d’entrepreneurship relève maintenant de la responsabilité de l’Académie Entrepreneuriale depuis le 4 mai dernier. Elle mentionne la nomination d’un nouvel agent, M. Dan Humphries du Ministère du Développement économique, emploi et infrastructure suite à la promotion de Mme Jennifer Ng.
Sur le sujet des bornes électriques, Mme Lavigne informe le comité que M. Olivier Berthiaume du Développement économique et touristique sera dorénavant responsable de ce dossier.
Suite à la demande de formation de M. St-Amour pour la création de page Facebook municipale, Mme Lavigne distribue le guide d’utilisation réalisé à cet effet et ajoute que le personnel est disponible pour répondre aux questions.
Dans le cadre du projet Place aux jeunes, Mme Lavigne informe que neuf jeunes de niveau postsecondaire ont eu l’opportunité de visiter Prescott et Russell afin de découvrir les avantages de notre région rurale.
Mme Lavigne termine en mentionnant les dates des activités à venir dont la fête de la St- Jean qui sera célébrée à la Ferme Drouin à Casselman, le Festival de la Rivière et la Foire gourmande les 3, 4 et 5 juillet et la Foire Nationale de l’Emploi à Montréal les 15 et 16 octobre prochain et ajoute qu’un kiosque sera partagé avec la ville de Hawkesbury.
M. St-Amour aimerait que des délégations ou rencontres soient organisées avec des ministres à la prochaine journée GPR à Queen’s Park, puisque les Comtés seront présents à Toronto.
3. Autres sujets :
Sondage du ministère du Développement économique, emploi et infrastructure Mme Lavigne informe le comité que le ministère du Développement économique, de l’emploi et de l’infrastructure a annoncé qu’une somme restante de 15 milliards provenant du 131 milliards initial demeurait à être distribuée aux municipalités pour des projets d’infrastructures en Ontario, à l’extérieur de Toronto et ce, afin de favoriser l’essor économique de l’Ontario. Sur ce, un sondage a été envoyé aux municipalités pour connaitre leurs besoins. Des réunions seront tenues dans la région à ce sujet en juillet. M. St-Amour mentionne que sa municipalité a demandé une délégation à l’AMO en août. Les municipalités auront jusqu’en septembre pour compléter leur sondage.
EcoLarose Mme Lavigne annonce au comité que la demande subvention déposée auprès de FedDev pour le projet d’EcoLarose n’a pas porté fruit.
Enseignes directionnelles sur la 417 Le Maire Lamadeleine aimerait voir l’installation d’une enseigne mentionnant Casselman / St-Albert sur l’autoroute 417 direction est, au même endroit où l’on peut voir les enseignes indiquant Rockland. Ceci suite à des plaintes de gens qui ont emprunté la route 174, en direction de Rockland plutôt que d’utiliser la 417 pour se rendre à Casselman et autres. Un employé du MTO a confirmé à M. Lamadeleine qu’une demande peut être faite afin d’ajouter une enseigne. Ceci est d’une importance cruciale vu la présence du parc Calypso et de la Fromagerie St-Albert. Le comité est d’accord et Mme Lavigne adressera ceci auprès du directeur des Travaux publics.
LE COMITÉ RECOMMANDE qu’une demande soit adressée au Ministère des Transports pour demander l’installation d’une enseigne directionnelle sur l’autoroute 417 afin d’indiquer la sortie de Casselman et St-Albert.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TOURISM COMMITTEE REPORT
To the Chair and the members of Council, United Counties of Prescott and Russell
The Economic Development and Tourism Committee met in L’Orignal on Wednesday, June 24, 2015 at 8: a.m.
Were present: Conrad Lamadeleine, Chairman, Jeanne Charlebois, François St-Amour, Committee members, Robert Kirby, Warden
Stéphane P. Parisien, Chief Administrative Officer, Carole Lavigne, Director of Economic Development and Tourism, France Lortie, Administrative and Projects Assistant
The report is presented as follows:
1. Via Rail Carole Lavigne informed the committee of Amendment No. 1 to the original agreement, received from Via Rail. Following the signing of this amendment, Via Rail will bring few changes to the agreement between the UCPR and the neighbors of the recreational trail. Mr. Fisher explained that Via Rail fears that squatter’s rights be claimed by neighbors after maintaining the trail’s shoulders for a period of 10 years or more. It will be the Counties responsibility to ensure that this does not happen and the original agreement will be amended to include this clause. The Trail’s maintenance agreement will be of the same duration as the one between Via Rail and the Counties, being until 2020, but renewable for a period of 10 years afterwards. The committee still wants to meet Mr. Fisher for discussions.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS that County Council authorizes the Warden to sign Amendment No. 1 of the original agreement so Via Rail can make some changes to the agreement between the UCPR and the neighbors of the recreational trail.
2. Update of projects’ activities in economic development and tourism;
Mrs. Lavigne gave an update of the projects in economic development and tourism. Of the 50 initial projects, 36 are still active, 10 are completed and 4 have been canceled. Mr. Lamadeleine asked about the VIP Card rewards program and Mrs. Lavigne briefly explained the program, which aims to encourage local purchases in Prescott and Russell and operates essentially like the Air Miles program. A discussion followed on the participating merchants and the recruitment of new merchants.
Mrs. Lavigne mentioned that both the tent and the site have been reserved for the International Plowing Match in Finch. She added that a contribution of $1,000 from each municipality is required to reserve their space and help with the logistics costs. Mayor St-Amour mentioned that his municipality will contribute more in order to be well represented since they are close neighbors of SDG. Mrs. Lavigne added that the tent’s layout will consist of a geographical representation of the Counties and will include interactive kiosks.
Mrs. Lavigne mentioned an opportunity for the United Counties to have a Guinness World Record in the agricultural sector on August 15th at the Curd Festival in St Albert. The record to beat is the simultaneous operation of more than 80 mills for 15 minutes, the previous record being 41 mills. Counties will disburse $1,000 for an ad.

Mrs. Lavigne informed the committee that the Highway 417 tourist welcome signs will be installed this summer at both entries into Prescott and Russell. Mrs. Lavigne informed that the Entrepreneurship Centre is now under the responsibility of the Entrepreneurial Academy since May 4th last. She mentioned the nomination of a new agent, Mr. Dan Humphries of the Ministry of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure following the promotion of Mrs. Jennifer Ng.
On the subject of electrical charging stations for cars, Mrs. Lavigne informed the committee that Mr. Olivier Berthiaume of the Economic Development and Tourism Department will now be responsible of this matter.
Following Mr. St-Amour request for information on how to create a municipal Facebook page, Mrs. Lavigne distributed the user guide created for this purpose and added that the staff is available to answer any questions.
Under the Place aux jeunes project, Mrs. Lavigne informed that nine post-secondary level students had the opportunity to visit Prescott and Russell and had the opportunity to discover the benefits of our rural area.
Mrs. Lavigne concluded by mentioning the dates of upcoming events including the St- Jean to be celebrated at Drouin Farm in Casselman, the Ottawa River Festival and the Foire Gourmande on July 3rd, 4th and 5th, and the National Employment Fair in Montreal on October 15th and 16th next and added that a kiosk will be shared with the Town of Hawkesbury.
Mr. St-Amour would like that delegations or meetings be organized with Ministers at the next GPR day in Queen's Park, as the Counties will be present in Toronto.
3. Other subjects
Survey from the Ministry of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure Mrs. Lavigne informed the Committee that the Ministry of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure announced a remaining $15 billion, from the initial 131 billion, to be distributed to municipalities for infrastructure projects in Ontario, outside of Toronto, to promote Ontario's economic growth. With that, a survey was sent to municipalities to find out their needs. Meetings on this subject will be held in the region in July. Mr. St-Amour mentioned that his municipality has requested a delegation at AMO in August. Municipalities will have until September to complete their survey.
EcoLarose Ms. Lavigne announced to committee that the grant application filed with FedDev for the EcoLarose project has not been successful.
Directional signs on 417 Mayor Lamadeleine would like to see the installation of a sign indicating Casselman / St- Albert on Highway 417 eastbound at the same location as the sign for Rockland. This follows complaints from people who have taken Highway 174 towards Rockland rather than using Highway 417 to get to Casselman and surroundings. An MTO employee confirmed to Mr. Lamadeleine that a request can be presented to add a sign. This is a most important matter given the presence of Calypso Park and St-Albert Cheese Co-Op. The Committee agrees and Mrs. Lavigne will address this with the Director of Public Works.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS that a request be sent to the Ministry of Transportation requesting the installation of a directional sign on Highway 417 to indicate the Casselman / St-Albert exit.
4. Adjournment The meeting adjourned at 8:30 a.m.

RAPPORT DE LA RÉUNION DU COMITÉ DES SERVICES SOCIAUX
Au président et aux membres du Conseil, Comtés unis de Prescott et Russell
Le comité des Services sociaux s’est réuni à 8h le 12 août 2015 à l’édifice administratif des Comtés à L’Orignal.
Présences : Mme Jeanne Charlebois, présidente du comité, MM Robert Kirby, président des Comtés unis, Gary J. Barton et Pierre Leroux, membres du Conseil
M. Stéphane P. Parisien, directeur général, Mme Anne Comtois Lalonde, directrice des Services sociaux et Christiane Parisien, procès verbaliste
Le rapport vous est présenté comme suit :
Adoption de l’ordre du jour L’ordre du jour est adopté tel que présenté.
Au départ la directrice informe les membres du comité que les deux sujets soulevés aujourd’hui sont matières à réflexion et pourraient avoir un impact direct au budget 2016.
1. Per diem des centres d’accueil La directrice des Services sociaux explique brièvement en quoi consiste le per diem, (l’indemnité journalière) et le fonctionnement de ce bénéfice discrétionnaire offert par 27 des 47 gestionnaires de services en province. Elle partage ensuite de l’information et certaines statistiques relatives à d’autres municipalités. Cela-dit, la dernière augmentation du per diem à 50 $ date de juillet 2013 et l’Association des résidences de Prescott Russell a fait une demande d’augmentation en octobre 2014, qui fut refusée, et une seconde demande devant les membres du Conseil en avril 2015. Le Conseil avait donc informé les représentants de l’Association que la demande serait étudiée lors de l’exercice budgétaire 2016.
Mme Comtois Lalonde souligne que l’augmentation au financement du ministère des Affaires municipales et du Logement de 173 500 $ en 2015 au Programme de logement avec soutien avait été utilisée pour réduire la part des CUPR et maintenir le taux d’imposition à 0%. Bref, une augmentation du per diem, si le comité et le Conseil recommande celle-ci, pourrait se faire en deux tranches, soit verser 1 $ (51 $) au 1 janvier 2016 et 1 $ additionnel (52$) en juillet 2016. Si tel est le cas et en maintenant la part des Comtés à 567 000 $, nous devrons réduire le nombre de résidents subventionnés de 490 à 460 en janvier 2016 et à 438 en juillet 2016. Tout compte fait, Mme Comtois Lalonde demande aux membres du comité de considérer l’information soumise afin de prendre une décision éclairée.
2. Frais funéraires Les membres sont informés que le ministère des Services sociaux et communautaires (MSSC) couvre les frais funéraires des bénéficiaires de l’Ontario au travail (OAT) et du Programme ontarien de soutien aux personnes handicapées (POSPH) sans toutefois couvrir ceux des personnes indigentes (ne recevant ni OAT ni POSPH). Ayant communiqué avec divers gestionnaires de services en province, Mme Comtois Lalonde mentionne que certains d’entre eux ne défraient pas de frais L’Orignal, Ontario Comité des Services sociaux 2 Le 12 août 2015
funéraires pour personnes indigentes sauf lorsque le corps du défunt n’est pas réclamé. À ce moment-là, la responsabilité revient à la municipalité.
Depuis 2007, les frais funéraires pour bénéficiaires OAT et POSPH sont remboursés au coût réel jusqu’à concurrence de 3 900 $ plus taxes et débours et en 2010, lorsque le ministère a mis fin au financement pour les personnes indigentes, le comité et le Conseil du temps étaient d’accords de continuer à défrayer la somme de 2 250 $ plus taxes et débours mais cette contribution est devenue 100 p. cent municipale.
En 2013, le ministère annonçait que les remboursements des frais funéraires allaient être inclus dans la formule des bénéfices discrétionnaires développée par ce dernier. Ceci dit, la directrice informe le comité qu’une somme de 193 000 $ a été payée en frais funérailles en 2014 pour la clientèle OAT et POSPH et qu’en 2015 une somme de 30 000 $ était au budget mais voilà qu’à la fin juin, 37 000 $ a déjà été payé en frais funéraires.
Une discussion s’en suit et Mme Charlebois demande à la directrice de préparer un rapport dressant une liste des diverses options et prix des maisons funéraires des Comtés et dont Mme Comtois Lalonde pourra présenter à une prochaine réunion, et ce, afin d’en venir à une entente pour le budget 2016.
3. AJOURNEMENT La réunion du Comité des Services sociaux a été levée à 8h53.

REPORT OF THE SOCIAL SERVICES COMMITTEE MEETING
To the Warden and Members of Council, United Counties of Prescott and Russell
The Social Services Committee met in the County Administration Building in L’Orignal at 8:00 a.m. on August 12, 2015.
Were present: Mrs. Jeanne Charlebois, Committee Chair, Messrs. Robert Kirby, Warden, Gary J. Barton and Pierre Leroux, Council Members
Mr. Stéphane P. Parisien, Chief Administrative Officer, Mrs. Anne Comtois Lalonde, Director of Social Services, and Christiane Parisien, Minutes Writer
The report is presented as follows:
Adoption of the agenda The agenda was adopted as presented.
The Director informed the committee that the two topics discussed today are reflective materials that could have a direct impact on 2016 budget.
1. Per diem in domiciliary hostels The Director of Social Services briefly explained the per diem (daily allowance) offered by 27 of the province’s 47 Service Managers and how this discretionary benefit is used. She then shared information and some statistics related to other municipalities. The latest increase in the per diem at $ 50 was in July 2013 and the Prescott and Russell Domiciliary Hostels Association made a request for an increase in October 2014, which was refused, and a second before members of Council in April 2015. Council then informed the Association that their request would be considered during the 2016 budget discussions.
Mrs. Comtois Lalonde pointed out that the increase in funding of $173,500 in 2015 from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing was used to reduce the County share and maintain the tax rate at 0%. In summary, an increase in the per diem, if the committee and Council recommends it, could be carried out in two installments, $1 ($ 51) in January 2016 and an extra $ 1 ($ 52) in July 2016. If this is the case, maintaining the share of the Counties to $ 567,000, will reduce the number of subsidized residents from 490 to 460 in January and to 438 in July 2016. As a final point, Mrs. Comtois Lalonde asked the committee members to consider all the facts submitted to make an informed decision.
2. Funeral expenses Members were informed that the Ministry of Community and Social Services (MCSS) covers funeral costs for recipients of Ontario Works (OW) and the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) but does not cover those for low income individuals (not receiving OW or ODSP). Having contacted various Service Managers in the province, Mrs. Comtois Lalonde mentioned that some of them do not cover funeral expenses for indigent individuals except when the body of the deceased is not claimed. It then becomes the municipality/county’s responsibility.
In 2007, funeral expenses for ODSP and OW participants were paid at the actual cost up to $ 3,900 plus taxes and disbursements and in 2010, when the Ministry ended funding for indigent individuals, both the Committee and Council agreed to L’Orignal, Ontario Social Services Committee 2 August 12, 2015
continue to pay the sum of $ 2,250 plus taxes and disbursements, even though this contribution is 100 % percent municipal.
In 2013, the Ministry announced that the reimbursement of funeral expenses would be included in the formula of discretionary benefits developed by the latter. That being said, the director informed the committee that a sum of $ 193,000 was paid in funeral expenses in 2014 for OW and ODSP clients and that in 2015 a sum of $30,000 was budgeted but, at the end of June, $ 37,000 has already been paid for funeral expenses.
A discussion followed and Mrs. Charlebois requested the Director prepare a report listing the various options and prices offered by funeral homes in the Counties and which Mrs. Comtois Lalonde will present at an upcoming meeting, and therefore come to an agreement for the 2016 budget.
3. AJOURNMENT The meeting of the Social Services Committee was adjourned at 8:53 p.m.
ALL OF WHICH IS RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.

RAPPORT DE LA RÉUNION DU COMITÉ DES TRAVAUX PUBLICS
Au président et aux membres du Conseil, Comtés unis de Prescott et Russell
Le comité des Travaux publics s’est réuni le 12 août 2015 à 12h20.
Présences : Guy Desjardins, président du comité, Pierre Leroux, Fernand Dicaire, membres du Conseil, Robert Kirby, président du Conseil
Stéphane P. Parisien, directeur général, Marc Clermont, directeur des Travaux publics, Jérémie Bouchard, ingénieur et José Lortie, adjointe administrative
Le rapport vous est présenté comme suit :
1. Demande pour prolonger le contrat de solution de chlorure de magnésium Le directeur explique que le département a reçu une proposition de Denchem, le fournisseur de solution de chlorure de magnésium des Comtés, pour un renouvellement de contrat de deux ans par lequel ils protégeraient les prix soumissionnés en 2014 jusqu’au printemps 2017.
M. Clermont mentionne que Denchem a fourni les Comtés avec des liquides différents de pré mouillage pour les vingt dernières années et que le service a été très bon. Il mentionne également qu'il est difficile de comparer avec les années précédentes, si le prix de la solution de chlorure de magnésium est juste, parce que c'est la première année où ce produit est utilisé. Il a enfin indiqué que Denchem a toujours été le plus bas soumissionnaire pour d’autres produits fournis.
LE COMITÉ RECOMMANDE de prolonger le contrat de Denchem pour la fourniture et la livraison de produits de pré-mouillage liquides pour une année supplémentaire.
2. Règlement VTT M. Clermont explique que suite à des changements à certaines lois provinciales, le règlement de VTT existant, règlement 2008-18, nécessite des modifications mineures pour tenir compte de la nouvelle législation provinciale.
M. Dicaire demande au Comité si l'annexe du règlement qui contient la liste de chemins où les VTT sont autorisés pourrait être modifiée afin d'inclure le chemin de comté 17, de la route 21 à la rue Principale de Wendover, afin de permettre aux VTT de traverser la rivière Nation-Sud par le biais du pont Jessup Falls. M. Clermont est préoccupé par le fait que les VTT seront sur le chemin de comté 17 et l'étroitesse du pont. M. Dicaire explique qu'il veut ajouter cette section car c'est un des seuls endroits où les VTT peuvent traverser la rivière sans passer par le village de Plantagenet.
LE COMITÉ RECOMMANDE de modifier le règlement pour les VTT pour refléter les modifications législatives provinciales et d'ajouter à la liste des chemins autorisés pour l'utilisation de VTT, la section du chemin de comté 17 entre la route 21 et la rue Principale de Wendover.
1 | Page
3. Gestion des mauvaises herbes le long des routes M. Clermont s'enquiert si le Comité souhaite procéder à la pulvérisation routière des chemins de comté pour la gestion des mauvaises herbes l'année prochaine. M. Clermont explique que le panais sauvage est très envahissant et s'est propagé le long de la plupart des chemins de comté. Il explique en outre que les gens commencent à devenir très préoccupés par les effets néfastes de cette mauvaise herbe vénéneuse. Il mentionne également qu'historiquement pour autant de personnes qui sont pour la pulvérisation de mauvaises herbes, il y en a autant contre.
Le directeur explique qu'afin de pulvériser tous les chemins de comté, il en coûterait environ $ 90 000 à $ 100 000. Si le Comité recommande la pulvérisation routière, ces montants pourraient être ajoutés au prochain budget qui est actuellement en cours de préparation. Il mentionne également que les résidents qui ne voudraient pas le fossé adjacent à leur propriété soit pulvérisé, auraient la possibilité d’installer des enseignes avisant de ne pas pulvériser. Le coût pourrait être réduit dépendant du nombre de ces demandes.
M. Clermont explique que l'alternative à la pulvérisation routière de mauvaises herbes est le fauchage mécanique qui est présentement utilisé. Cependant, la tonte s'est avérée être une des principales causes de la propagation de nombreuses mauvaises herbes sauf si c'est fait dans un temps opportun. M. Clermont explique qu'avec l’équipement existant, il est impossible de tondre toutes les mauvaises herbes dans les délais requis. Une discussion s’en suit à ce sujet.
LE COMITÉ RECOMMANDE de garder le statu quo et ne pas procéder à la pulvérisation routière pour la gestion des mauvaises herbes.
4. Traverse de piéton – Limoges Le directeur explique que suite à la demande des résidents de Limoges pour installer un passage pour piétons à l'intersection du chemin de comté 5, soit le chemin de Limoges, et la rue Oasis, le département a mené une enquête au cours de la dernière semaine de juillet. L'enquête a été effectuée à ce moment- là afin de considérer la période de camping d'été en raison de la présence du terrain de camping Kittawa à proximité.
M. Jeremie Bouchard explique qu'un total de 22 personnes (10 en direction ouest et 12 en direction est) ont traversé la rue à l'intersection. M. Clermont mentionne que le mandat pour l'installation d'un passage pour piétons est loin d'être comblé avec le montant de traversée. Il explique aussi que l’arrêt à quatre sens nouvellement installé à l'intersection des rues King/Des Pins, à 220 mètres au nord de l'emplacement demandé est utilisé par beaucoup plus de piétons pour traverser.
LE COMITÉ RECOMMANDE de ne pas installer un passage pour piétons à l'intersection du chemin Limoges et de la rue de l'Oasis.
5. Règlement 2015-37 pour les entrées (M. Robert Kirby) M. Kirby mentionne qu'un contribuable lui a demandé si le frais administratif non- remboursable de $200 pourrait être renoncé. M. Clermont a expliqué que ces genres de frais ont toujours fait partie de n'importe quel type de permis depuis de nombreuses années. Ce montant est pour couvrir les dépenses administratives du département. M. Clermont a demandé si le Comité était préoccupé par le dépôt de garantie qui est beaucoup plus élevé, et que généralement, c'est le frais qui préoccupe les demandeurs. Les membres ont mentionné que ces frais devraient demeurer tels-quels.
2 | Page
Une très longue discussion s’en suit sur cette question, sur les largeurs permises des entrées et le règlement en général.
LE COMITÉ RECOMMANDE que le règlement soit modifié afin de ne pas charger les frais d'administration non remboursables lorsqu’une entrée existante est enlevée ou remplacée au même endroit. Le frais est toujours applicable pour toute extension, le changement d'utilisation, le déplacement d'une entrée et pour une nouvelle entrée. Les frais de dépôt de sécurité restent applicables dans tous les cas.

REPORT OF THE MEETING OF THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
To the Warden and Members of Council, United Counties of Prescott and Russell
The Committee of Public Works met at 12:20 p.m. on August 12, 2015
Were present: Guy Desjardins, Chairman, Pierre Leroux, Fernand Dicaire, Council Members, Robert Kirby, Warden
Marc Clermont, Director of Public Works, Stéphane P. Parisien, CAO, Jérémie Bouchard, Engineer and José Lortie, Administrative Assistant
The report is presented as follows:
1. Request to extend the magnesium chloride solution contract The Director explains that the Department has received a proposal from Denchem, the Counties supplier of winter pre-wetting liquids, a two year contract renewal whereby they would protect the 2014 Tender prices through the spring of 2017.
Mr Clermont mentions that Denchem has been supplying the Counties with different pre-wetting liquids for the last twenty years and that the service has been very good. He also mentions that it is hard to compare with the previous years if the price of the magnesium chloride solution is fair because it is the first year that this product is used. He finally mentioned that Denchem has always been the lowest tendered price for the other supplied products.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS to extend the contract to Denchem for the supply and delivery of winter pre-wetting liquids for an additional year.
2. ATV by-law Mr Clermont explains that further to provincial amendments to the legislation, the existing ATV by-law, By-Law Number 2008-18, needs minor changes to reflect the new provincial legislation.
Mr Dicaire asks the Committee if the schedule of the by-law that contains the list of highway whereas ATV’s are permitted could be amended to include County Road 17, from Route 21 to Wendover Principale Street, in order for the ATV’s to cross the South Nation River by way of the Jessop’s Falls Bridge. Mr Clermont’s is concerned about the fact that the ATV’s will be on County Road 17 and the bridge’s narrowness. Mr Dicaire explains that he wants this section because it is one of the only places that the ATV’s can cross the river without going through the village of Plantagenet.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS to change the by-law for ATV to reflect the provincial amendments to the legislation and to add to the list of the permitted highways for the ATV use, the section of County Road 17 between Route 21 and Wendover Principale Street.

3. Roadside weeds management Mr Clermont inquires if the Committee would like to proceed with roadside spraying for weeds management next year. Mr Clermont explains that Wild Parsnip is very invasive and has spread along most of the county roads. He further explains that people are starting to become very concerned about the ill effects of this poisonous weed. He further mentions that historically for as many persons that are for weed spraying there are as many against it.
The Director explains that in order to spray all of the county roads, it would cost approximately $90,000 to $100,000. Should the Committee recommend roadside spraying, these amounts could be added to next year’s budget that is presently being prepared. He also mentions that residents who would not wish to have the ditch sprayed immediately adjacent to their property could be given the option of posting a “no spray” sign. Depending on how many of these requests we received, it could reduce the cost.
Mr Clermont explains that the alternative to roadside weed control is the current “mechanical” treatment which is mowing. However, mowing has proven to be one of the primary causes of the spread of many weeds unless it is done in a timely matter. Mr Clermont explains that with the existing equipment, it is impossible to mow all the weeds within the required time.
Discussion went on regarding this issue.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS the status quo and to not proceed with roadside spraying for weeds management.
4. Crosswalk – Limoges The Director explains that further to a request from the residents of Limoges to install a pedestrian crosswalk at the intersection of County Road 5, known as Limoges Road, and Oasis Street, the Department has conducted a survey during the last week of July. The survey was done at that time in order to consider the summer camping period due to the presence of the Kittawa campground nearby.
Mr Jérémie Bouchard explains that a total of 22 ( 10 westbound and 12 eastbound) persons crossed the street at the intersection.
Mr Clermont mentions that the warrant for the installation of a pedestrian crosswalk is far from being met with this amount crossing. He also explains that the newly installed four way stop at the intersection of King/Des Pins Streets, 220 meters north of the requested location has much more pedestrian using the crosswalk.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS to not install a pedestrian crosswalk at the intersection of Limoges Road and Oasis Street.
5. Entranceway by-law 2015-37 Mr Kirby mentions that he was asked by a constituent if the non-refundable administrative fee of $200 could be waived. Mr Clermont explained that these administration fees have always been part of any type of permit for many years now. This fee is to cover for the Department’s administrative costs. Mr Clermont inquired if the Committee was concerned about the security deposit which is much higher and that it is usually the fee that the complainant is really concerned about. Members mentioned that these fees should stay as they are.
A very lengthy discussion went on regarding the matter, the entranceway widths permitted and the by-law in general.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS that the by-law be amended to remove the non-refundable administrative fee when removing or when replacing an existing 2 | Page
entrance at the same location. The fee is still applicable for any extension, change of use, relocation of and new entrance. The security deposit fees stay applicable in all cases.
