4. DELEGATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS
Councillor S. Clement provided opening remarks.
4.1 Community Recognition Awards Presentations
C. Naish came forward to make the following presentations:
4.1.1. Sharon Mace, Bracebridge Volunteer Service Award
“The Bracebridge Volunteer Service Award recognizes individual volunteers for continuous years of commitment and dedicated service to an organization. Youth and adult volunteers are eligible if they have been active beyond simple membership in an organization that has been in existence for a minimum of five years; not received payment for their volunteer work; not performed the services as part of their regular business or professional duties.
Anyone who has watched a parade in Southern Ontario has likely seen our next recipient.
Sharon Mace has been a member of the Bracebridge Legion Pipes and Drums for 43 years. Twenty years ago she became the first female Pipe Major in Muskoka and continues to hold that position.
Sharon has led the band at numerous events throughout the Province as well as locally, always promoting the Bracebridge name.
The Bracebridge Legion Pipes and Drums Band have participated in a variety of events including numerous Santa Claus Parades, Remembrance Day and Fall Fair Parades. Sharon and the band have also volunteered their time to entertain the residents at the Pines Long Term Care Home and both the Bracebridge Villa and James St. Place retirement homes.
The Pipe Band was the first musical performance at the Bandshell Summer Concert Series at Memorial Park and continues to perform there each year.
As a soloist, Sharon has donated her time and talent to play at countless funerals and community events that many have come to appreciate and enjoy.
Sharon’s ongoing dedication to the band and to the community is to be admired. Please join me in congratulating Sharon as she receives her award.”
4.1.2. Don Hutchinson, Bracebridge Volunteer Service Award
“The Bracebridge Volunteer Service Award recognizes individual volunteers for continuous years of commitment and dedicated service to an organization. This year, the Town of Bracebridge is recognizing two individuals in this category.
While walking his children through the halls at Monck Public School, Don Hutchinson smelled toast cooking. He opened the kitchen door and asked if they needed some help. That was 15 years ago and ever since Don has been applying his amazing chef/culinary skills several times a week at the Monck Public School Breakfast Club.
6 SPECIAL TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES Tuesday June 2, 2015 - 7:00 p.m. Rene M. Caisse Memorial Theatre Page 3
The Club requires the volunteers to prepare breakfast for over 100 students at times. Don's specialty is his delicious fruit platter.
His children have now graduated but Don continues to volunteer at Monck Public School.
For the past 2 years, Don has also volunteered with the Out of the Cold Program, and has helped at Community Christmas Dinner Program at Your Independent Grocer for the last 3 years.
Don's desire to donate his time and skills wherever help is needed is a true example of volunteerism. Please join me in congratulating Don as he receives his award.”
4.1.3. Marlene Tynan, Bracebridge Senior Achievement Award
“The Bracebridge Senior Achievement Award honours those individuals over the age of 65 who have made significant contributions in at least one of the following: arts, community service, education, environment and/or recreation.
Marlene Tynan is one of the Pines Long Term Care Home’s most dedicated volunteers. She attends almost daily and is helpful not only to residents, but also to the staff. In 2014 alone, she dedicated close to 500 hours of volunteer service at The Pines.
Marlene assists residents with their daily living by helping as a resident escort on bus trips, facilitating in-house programs and special events, reading to residents on a one-to-one basis up to 5 hours at a time and helping with the morning nourishment program. Through the Feeding Certificate program, Marlene assists at meal times to ensure that residents have a delightful dining experience.
Marlene is also part of the Gentle Persuasion program, that aids Alzheimer’s patients, and she is certified as one of the Pine’s Palliative Care team.
Marlene has worked tirelessly for her Church and affiliated churches not only in Bracebridge but around South Muskoka. She has cooked and served many suppers and turkey dinners for those in need, as well as helped with the winter warmth program in the cleaning and distributing of coats.
In her spare time, Marlene plays euchre and helps with the monthly Birthday Party Program at McVittie Place.
Although a quiet person, Marlene receives great enjoyment out of helping others and is always glad of the opportunity to help make a difference in someone’s life.”
7 SPECIAL TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES Tuesday June 2, 2015 - 7:00 p.m. Rene M. Caisse Memorial Theatre Page 4
4.1.4. Diana MacDonald, Bracebridge Good Citizenship Award
“The Bracebridge Good Citizenship Award recognizes individuals who, through exceptional long-term efforts, have made outstanding contributions to the community. This year’s recipient of the Bracebridge Good Citizenship Award is Diana MacDonald.
For the past 19 years, Diana has risen early several weekday mornings and by 8:00 am is at Bracebridge Public School where a line-up of happy faces are awaiting the delicious healthy breakfasts she will provide. Diana believes a healthy breakfast is the foundation for learning and that children really appreciate it. Through engaging students in assisting with the Breakfast Club, she passes on the commitment of volunteerism to the next generation. But Diana has other commitments; so her days are busy.
Bracebridge Scouting has benefitted from Diana’s dedication for over 30 years through the various roles she has held, which include being a Cub Leader 22 years, Beaver Leader 9 years, Venturer Advisor 3 years and Co-Chair Group Commissioner for the past 2 years. Add to this her new role as the Deputy Area Commissioner of Programming in Whispering Pines Area Scouting, and you know she has many adventures ahead.
Of her scouting experiences, Diana says it is rewarding teaching children how to cook over a fire and especially cherishes those moments around the campfire looking up at the night sky and watching the scouts’ wonderment as they locate the constellations.
Diana is a busy member in our extended community, serving as a Sunday School Teacher at Knox Presbyterian Church for 25 years, as a Facilitator for the Bracebridge Legion’s Children Christmas Party for 7 years, President of Muskoka Community Co-op for 18 years, and 3 years working with Can-Skate Canada.
When asked what the secret to her ability to provide this level of community service over so many years she said she has an amazing husband and family who support her in all of her roles and make it easy for her to do the things she loves.”
4.1.5. Annette Allen, Bracebridge Outstanding Volunteer Achievement Award (Regrets) (to be presented to Annette Allen at the June 24, 2015 Council Meeting).
“The Bracebridge Outstanding Volunteer Achievement Award recognizes individuals and groups for outstanding volunteer contributions to their communities and to the Province. The recipient for this year’s award has most certainly done just that.
In 1996, her daughters became members of The Muskoka Limberettes Gymnastic Club and that began Annette Allen’s long- time association with the club, not only as parent volunteer, but as club President for 12 years. She also assumed the responsibility of Competition Director for 10 years.
8 SPECIAL TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES Tuesday June 2, 2015 - 7:00 p.m. Rene M. Caisse Memorial Theatre Page 5
In those years, she organized the hosting of the Provincial Qualifiers which involved over 300 athletes and some 100 volunteers; not an easy task. Annette was requested to be guest speaker at a preliminary meeting for the 2009 Canadian National Gymnastics Championships and subsequently was offered a position on the organizing committee. The Competition was held in Hamilton with great success.
In 2010, Muskoka hosted the Ontario Winter Games and, once again, Annette volunteered to organize the gymnastics portion of the very successful event. When it was announced that Muskoka would host the 2014 Winter Games, she agreed to accept the crucial and daunting task as Chair for the Games Organizing Committee. Annette lead a team of staff and volunteer Organizing Committee through the year and a half preparation to host over 2500 athletes and para-athletes in 26 sporting events, which occurred in 23 venues throughout Muskoka and Simcoe. This overwhelming task was met with Annette’s calm ability to keep the overall vision of Games in the forefront at all times and through the ups and downs of the planning process.
Annette possesses the ability to realize what needs to be done and sets the “wheels in motion”. Annette is a devoted volunteer who has made youth sports her passion. In so doing, she has made Bracebridge and the province a more inspiring place to live.
Unfortunately, Annette is unable to join us this evening due to work commitments. Annette will be presented with her Award at a Town Council meeting on June 24.”
4.1.6. Nicholas McIsaac, Bracebridge Young Volunteer Award
“The Bracebridge Young Volunteer Award recognizes youth between the ages of 15 - 24 who have donated a large amount of time to a charity, a not-for-profit organization or a person in the community.
Bracebridge has always been home to many dedicated young volunteers. These young citizens may not have a long history of accomplishments or years of service giving back to their community, but they have energy, excitement, new ideas and a willingness to learn that drives them to volunteer in the community.
This year’s recipient of the Bracebridge Young Volunteer Award is Nicholas McIsaac.
At the age of 5, Nicholas became involved in scouting, which began his commitment to the organization. He has completed various scouting programs in the last decade, and at the age of 14 accepted a leadership role with the cub pack as an activity leader.
This year, at the age of 16, he is a scouter-in-training and is taking on more roles and responsibilities which require a significant time commitment for the benefit of scouting.
Nic is also great supporter of "A Child's Voice Foundation". This organization is dedicated to creating and managing programs that tangibly support and enhance the physical and emotional well-being of financially disadvantaged children who are facing illness or disability. Nic volunteers with this organization and makes himself available on a moment’s notice to assist.
9 SPECIAL TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES Tuesday June 2, 2015 - 7:00 p.m. Rene M. Caisse Memorial Theatre Page 6
Additionally, Nic volunteers with the Bracebridge Blues Junior A Hockey Club taking on various tasks and is an important part of the team. With Nic's help this team not only supplies great entertainment for the community but also fundraises for many charities.
"No", is not in Nic's vocabulary. As a well-organized, dedicated and tireless volunteer, Nic is in great demand to help other organizations fundraise or coordinate events for the good of the community.
Along with his love to be involved in community events, Nic still continues to hold a job and complete his family duties as assigned.
Please join me in welcoming Nic McIsaac to receive the Bracebridge Young Volunteer Award.”
4.2 Accessibility Award Presentation
B. Jones came forward to make the following presentation:
4.2.1. Rick Rats Hockey Club, Christopher Todd Lang Memorial Accessibility Award
“The Christopher Todd Lang Accessibility Award recognizes community members who have gone above and beyond in improving accessibility and awareness for people with disabilities, and have demonstrated outstanding leadership and commitment in supporting awareness of accessibility and disability issues.
This award is dedicated to the memory of Christopher Todd Lang, who passed away in December, 2008 at the age of 45. Todd joined the Town’s Accessibility Advisory Committee in December, 2006. Living with multiple health problems throughout his life, Todd’s focus was to make life better for others by serving on the Accessibility Advisory Committee for the Town of Bracebridge.
It is my honour to present the 2015 Christopher Todd Lang Accessiblity Award to the Rink Rats Hockey Club.
The Rink Rats Hockey Club has been supporting Muskoka charitable organizations for 30 years, and having fun while doing it.
Specifically, their Annual Lovable Losers Hockey Tournament has provided support to Sledge Hockey in Muskoka by funding the purchase of a sledge and related equipment for Graham Murray, who brought back several gold and bronze medals in Paralympics and World Championships as a member of the Canadian Olympic Sledge Hockey Team.
More recently, the Rink Rats have opened a door that has changed the life of a young boy who suffers from cerebral palsy, a disease that affects his muscles and vision. In 2012, the Rink Rats presented Christian Hauck with his first hockey sledge, allowing him to attend numerous hockey functions, including dropping the puck for the opening of the 2014 Ontario Winter Games Sledge Hockey event in Muskoka.
10 SPECIAL TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES Tuesday June 2, 2015 - 7:00 p.m. Rene M. Caisse Memorial Theatre Page 7
Christian’s sense of inclusion is enhanced by his “adoption” as a Rink Rat and being included in pre-game dressing room camaraderie and participation at Hockey events in the area.
From printed information by Ted Currie, the Rink Rat Hockey Club became an idea in 1981 with three Herald-Gazette and two Muskoka Graphics employees talking together at the coffee machine in the newspaper office.
For 34 years, the Rink Rats have been playing hockey and sponsoring hockey events in order to raise money for many worthwhile community projects and initiatives, including sledge hockey.
The Christopher Todd Lang award is presented to the Rink Rats for championing the removal of barriers, promoting a project to assist in overcoming obstacles to access and helping to ensure that persons with disabilities are included in all aspects of community life.
Through their support for sledge hockey, they have helped to integrate individuals with physical disabilities into the community as valuable contributing citizens.”
4.3 Mayor’s Award of Excellence Presentation
4.3.1. Dads of Muskoka, Mayor’s Award of Excellence
Mayor G. Smith came forward to make the following presentation:
“The Mayor’s Award of Excellence is a unique award, not given every year, for those individuals and groups that I see make a difference to our everyday lives.
There is no formal criteria for this award, and there has been one previous recipient, the Annie Williams Memorial Park Board for their “Let Them Be Kids” park rehabilitation day.
We know that as a community we run on volunteers. This night is reflective of that and demonstrates that without people that put community first, we would be last in all respects.
Usually, these efforts take place outside of the limelight, with little reward or notice by members of the community that far too often take things for granted, or there is an assumption that “The Town”, that ubiquitous catch-all organization, has been out spending again.
The reality is that most great things that happen in a community, those things that keep communities engaged and exciting, have humble beginnings as grass- roots ideas that volunteers get behind and that critical mass forms to make magic happen.
The Dads of Muskoka are the perfect example of this approach and why it works so well.
A few notes about Fatherhood. It’s a handful. It’s exhausting. It’s exhilarating and it makes you think about the future and your community in a different way.
11 SPECIAL TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES Tuesday June 2, 2015 - 7:00 p.m. Rene M. Caisse Memorial Theatre Page 8
In early 2011, a group of fathers started meeting on a monthly basis and they decided that they would like to add value to the community for future generations and help out on projects that were outside the scope of other charities and community groups. The Dads of Muskoka group has grown to over 20 members and they have given back to the community in many different ways. Some of their projects include:
Donating a computer and custom desk to the Bracebridge Public Library; Providing Christmas hampers for families in Muskoka Lakes; Donating washers and dryers to local charitable houses; Monetary donations to youth triathlon racers and high school bursaries; and, Raising money through fun events such as parking lot parties, the Father’s Day Tweed Ride, a fall dinner, and a St. Patrick’s Day bonspiel.
Many of the members have special skills that they donate for community projects such as providing labor for a rebuild after a flood on River Road, providing assistance with the outdoor rink at Annie Williams Memorial Park and the development, construction and upkeep of the Disc Golf Course at Peake Fields at Verena Acres.
The Disc Course is a beautiful spot, whether for disc golf, just a walk, or to teach kids about nature.
These gentlemen didn’t just talk and wish things could happen - they made them happen.
It is my pleasure to present the 2015 Mayor’s Award of Excellence to the Dads of Muskoka.”

4.4 Bracebridge Baseball Wall of Fame, 2015 Inductees
W. Scott came forward to make the following presentations:
Nancy Raynor “Nancy Raynor has played in the Ladies Fastball League for 32 years and Player continues to play Centre Field to date.
She has been her Team Rep for 31 years which covers managing, coaching, playing, refreshments and meetings. Over this time, Nancy has seen the organization of the League grow and change and has always been there to pick up duties that needed covered.
Nancy have been lovingly been nicknamed “Wheels” and over the years she has won the League award for calling in her stat’s on time, she has won “Most Sportsmanlike” two different years and in 1998 she won Most Valuable Player. When Peake Fields at Verena Acres opened, she represented her team at the grand opening and was presented with a medallion.
Please join me in congratulating Nancy on her induction into the Bracebridge Baseball Wall of Fame as an exceptional Player.”
Kevin Dunlop “Our second inductee into the Bracebridge Baseball Wall of Fame this year is Coach/Official Kevin Dunlop.
When Kevin moved to Bracebridge in 1979, he started coaching Bantam level fastball with Al Taylor, but when Al had to resign due to work commitments, Kevin was thrown into the fire. That season, with Mike Crawford on the mound, the team was able to defeat Garson for the first time ever and move on to the Provincial Finals. From there his legacy as a baseball coach in Bracebridge started.
Kevin coached various bantam, midget and intermediate teams between 1979 and 2004, with highlights including All Ontario Championships and East Canadian Championships with the teams he coached.
Kevin learned valuable lessons as a coach over the years and often felt he was a “facilitator” to many of the teams due to their outstanding talent.
In 2004, he retired from coaching but will always be remembered for his contribution by his past players and the ball community in Bracebridge.
Please join me in congratulating Kevin on his induction into the Bracebridge Baseball Wall of Fame as an exceptional Coach.”
Wayne Forsythe “Our third and final inductee this year is someone who is well known in the Builder/Sponsor baseball community for his skills behind the plate.
For over 30 years, Wayne Forsythe has always been the first person at the ball field whether it was minor ball, men’s or ladies league play or the senior slow pitch leagues.
If a tournament was on, he would be there to set up the umpires and ensured all games were covered. If help was needed making schedules or defining rules, once again he was there.
13 SPECIAL TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES Tuesday June 2, 2015 - 7:00 p.m. Rene M. Caisse Memorial Theatre Page 10
Wayne has spent time on the little things that make the games happen, like making sure the diamonds were lined between games and batters boxes raked. Wayne has also come to the rescue of many players whose ball gloves had seen better days and needed to be restrung.
It is my pleasure to congratulating Wayne on his induction into the Bracebridge Baseball Wall of Fame as a Builder of baseball in Bracebridge.”
4.5 Community Sport Awards Presentations
4.5.1. Madison Hughes, Athlete of the Year
“This year we are pleased to honor an athlete who has excelled in the sport of gymnastics.
Madison Hughes has already had a remarkable athletic career and she is only 13 years old. Madison has been a competitive gymnast since the age of 7 and has been provincially ranked since she was 9 years old.
She is currently competing in Ontario as a level 9 athlete, which is the highest Provincial level for gymnastics in Ontario. She trains over 20 hours a week at the Muskoka Limberettes Gymnastics Club.
This year has been exceptional for Madison, as she has participated in a variety of competitions with top finishes, and also became one of four recipients of the “Dara Howell Women into Sport” Award, presented earlier this year.
In January of 2015, Madison travelled with Team Ontario to Las Vegas and placed 1st on Beam and 3rd Overall, which helped her team win a Bronze Medal in their category. This year Madison has also competed in the Ontario Championships and finished 5th Overall, which put her as the 1st Alternate for the Eastern Canadian Team. In addition, she placed 1st Overall at the Burlington Spring Cup with a 1st in Vault, 2nd in Floor and 2nd in Bars.
As a community, we are proud of Madison’s athletic accomplishments and we wish Madison luck in her future training endeavours.
Please join me in congratulating Madison as the Bracebridge Athlete of the Year.”
4.5.2. Jake Yard, Coach of the Year
“The Community Coach of the Year award is presented to a coach who has excelled in coaching in the Town of Bracebridge and exhibits and teaches the characteristics we all want our young athletes to possess.
As a youth, Jake Yard played Minor Hockey in Bracebridge and was called up to the Huntsville Otters in his final year. After a 4 year stint with the Otters, where he was team captain and a league All Star, he moved on to the NCAA where he played 4 years for the Division 3 Geneseo Knights. While with the Knights, he also became team captain and was a conference All Star.
14 SPECIAL TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES Tuesday June 2, 2015 - 7:00 p.m. Rene M. Caisse Memorial Theatre Page 11
After Graduating Geneseo with a degree in Geography and French, he enrolled in Teacher’s College at Nipissing University in North Bay. While completing his teaching degree he was re-united with his Junior Coach, Tom McCarthy, and became an assistant coach with the Junior A North Bay Trappers.
After a year in France as an assistant English Teacher, Jake applied for and was accepted to coach the South Muskoka Major Midgets, a full 10 years after he last played for them. Jake's goal was to give back to the sport and share the benefit of his Junior A and NCAA experience.
In the 2014 – 2015 season, Jake's hockey passion was channeled into developing his team to be the best they could be. He devoted hundreds of hours to these players. Every minute of practice was purposefully occupied, and every game preparation was given his full attention. The result was a team that progressed beyond all expectations and finished with a record of 50 wins, 8 losses and 7 ties.
Fittingly, the Major Midget's very last win earned them an OMHA Championship on home ice in front of a packed Bracebridge Memorial Arena.
Jake also works with the Bracebridge Recreation Department to organize and run community youth ball hockey and a hockey day camp during the summer. He will also be running the Bracebridge Hockey Academy and On-Ice Camp at the end of August.
Please join me in congratulating Jake on his coaching accomplishments.”
4.5.3. Muskoka Aquatic Club, Team of the Year
“Norm Harkness Memorial Team of the Year is awarded each year to a team who has excelled in their sport. Shows good conduct and represents the Town of Bracebridge in a positive light.
This year the Muskoka Aquatic Club, better known as MUSAC has been chosen to receive the Norm Harkness Memorial Team of the Year Award.
This competitive swimming season, with membership reaching an all-time high with 187 registered swimmers, the team’s overall performance hit new heights.
In December of 2014, MUSAC finished 4th place at the Division ll Ontario Team Championships; their best performance to date.
In February 2015, MUSAC finished 2nd at the Huronia Regional Championships, which is the team’s best finish in nearly 20 years.
In addition, 5 medals were brought home from All Ontario Festival Championships, the highest level meet for 13 and under swimmers in Ontario; and at the Ontario Provincial Championships, which is the highest level meet for swimmers aged 14 and over, there were 8 qualifier swims – the highest MUSAC swimmers have ever achieved.
In the coming months, 4 MUSAC athletes will be going to Canadian Age Group Nationals, and 15 will be travelling to the Irish Age Group Nationals in Dublin.
15 SPECIAL TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES Tuesday June 2, 2015 - 7:00 p.m. Rene M. Caisse Memorial Theatre Page 12

(Section A) WHEREAS the public electricity system in Ontario is a critical asset to the economy and vital to the living standard and well-being of all Ontarians;
AND WHEREAS it is essential that Ontarians maintain public control and public decision- making with respect to electricity;
AND WHEREAS experience in other jurisdictions shows that privatization typically means consumers pay more for electricity;
AND WHEREAS a privatized Hydro One will no longer be subject to scrutiny by the Auditor General, the Ombudsman, the Financial Accountability Officer, or the Integrity Commissioner, and will no longer be required to provide information or services to citizens under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act, or the French Language Services Act;
AND WHEREAS our public electricity system currently generates hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for the provincial government every year to help pay for public services we all depend on;
AND WHEREAS the sale of shares in Hydro One will provide a short-term financial gain for the province in exchange for a much larger long-term financial loss;
AND WHEREAS the provincial government has no mandate from voters to sell any part of Hydro One;
AND WHEREAS opinion polls show Ontarians oppose the privatization of Hydro One by a significant margin in every part of the province;
NOW THEREFORE THE COUNCIL OF THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF BRACEBRIDGE CALLS ON THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT TO:
1. Halt the sale of any part of Hydro One, and maintain Hydro One as a public asset for the benefit of all Ontarians;
2. Strengthen Hydro One by investing in the next generation of workers and upgrading our electricity transmission infrastructure; and,
3. Respect the autonomy and local decision-making powers of local distribution companies by not forcing these companies into mergers or sales.
That the Town of Bracebridge circulate this resolution to the Premier of Ontario, with copies to the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Energy, Parry Sound-Muskoka MPP Norm Miller, the municipalities in the District of Muskoka, and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO);
That the Town of Bracebridge work through AMO to encourage other Ontario municipalities to express their opposition to the privatization of Hydro One.

(Section A) The Director of Corporate Services/Clerk, L. McDonald, confirmed Notice was issued in accordance with the Planning Act and the Senior Planner, A. Ghikadis, presented the Statement of Purpose & Effect of the proposed rezoning amendment and advised how the proposed by-law will accomplish the purpose required.
35 PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES Wednesday June 17, 2015 7:00 p.m. Town Council Chambers Page 2
Statement of Purpose & Effect of the Proposed Zoning By-law:
1. The subject property is currently zoned Residential Type 1 (R1) according to Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2006-120 as amended. The Residential Type 1 (R1) Zone permits a Detached Dwelling, Group Home A, and accessory uses of Home Occupation and Bed & Breakfast.
2. The proposed zoning by-law would amend Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2006- 120 by rezoning the subject lands from Residential Type 1 (R1) to Residential Type 4 Special – 31 (R4-31). The Residential Type 4 Special – 31 (R4-31) zone would permit all uses in the Residential Type 4 (R4) Zone excluding Apartment Dwelling. The permitted uses in the R4-31 zone are: Semi-Detached Dwelling as part of Group Housing; Duplex Dwelling as part of Group Housing; Row Dwelling; Triplex Dwelling; Fouplex Dwelling; Group Housing; Home Occupation in a Detached Dwelling, Semi-Detached Dwelling or Duplex Dwelling.
3. The Residential Type 4 Special – 31 (R4-31) zone would contain the following provisions:
3.1. recognize the existing lot frontage of 29.8 metres (98 feet);
3.2. recognize the existing lot area of 1,195 m2 (12,863 ft2);
3.3. recognize the existing deck and building setbacks of 5.2 metres (17.06 feet) and 7.0 metres (22.9 feet) respectively from the rear lot line;
3.4. recognize the existing deck and building setbacks of 1.8 metres (5.91 feet) and 4.0 metres (13.1 feet) respectively from the side lot line; and
3.5. permit a new parking area which is proposed to be located 0 metres from the exterior lot line abutting Spencer Street.
4. All other applicable provisions of the Residential Type 4 (R4) Zone shall continue to apply in respect to the lands located within the Residential Type 4 Special – 31 (R4-31) Zone.
5. Departmental and agency comments are as follows:
Department/Agency Comment
5.1. Chief Building There are open building permits on this property. Official A Property Standards Notice has been issued and has not been rectified.
5.2. Public Works No concerns with the application based on the Department understanding that there will be no changes to the existing driveway entrance on to Spencer Street.
5.3. Fire Chief No concerns with the application.
36 PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES Wednesday June 17, 2015 7:00 p.m. Town Council Chambers Page 3
5.4. Manager of No concerns with the application. Economic Development
5.5. District of No concerns with the application. Muskoka District’s Engineering and Public Works Department have advised that the owner must ensure that adequate water and sewer services are provided to service the proposed development and note that the current water service to the property line is 20 mm.
5.6. Ministry of No concerns with the application. Transportation
5.7. Lakeland Power No concerns with the application.
5.8. Hydro One Not applicable. Outside Hydro One service area.
5.9. Canada Post No concerns with the application.
5.10. Other Agencies No comments received from Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Infrastructure Ontario, Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board, Trillium Lakeland District School Board, TransCanada Pipeline Ltd., and MPAC.
4. Correspondence has been received from Stephen Dawson of 97 Spencer Street stating his objection to the zoning change due to noise from construction, intensification that is not in character with the neighbourhood, safety, parking and traffic issues and setting a precedent for the area.
Savas Varadas of Wayne Simpson & Associates representing the applicants addressed the Committee. The building is currently in a state of disrepair and the applicants are looking to utilize the existing building with interior renovations. The size of the building is suitable to make into more than one unit. The parking would be designed as a turnaround for the 4 new spaces to allow for the vehicles to drive out instead of backing onto the street and the 2 existing spots will remain as is. There is currently some fencing and more buffering is proposed through site plan control.
Mr. Varadas indicated that the proposal sets out minor deficiencies to the minimum provisions of the Zoning By-law. The building is a 2 storey which will remain with no height increase proposed.
John Donald Morrison of 4 North Street is a neighbor directly behind the subject lands. Mr. Morrison is overall in favour of the proposal as he believes in reasonably priced rental housing. He noted that the dwelling was already divided into apartments including a basement apartment. Mr. Morrison noted that there is a fire safety concern and the property is subject to flooding every year so the basement apartment should be properly flood proofed. There has been a stairway going down to the basement apartment and a deck added over the years which appear rather close to the lot lines.
37 PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES Wednesday June 17, 2015 7:00 p.m. Town Council Chambers Page 4
Marianne Dawson of 97 Spencer Street addressed the Committee and advised that she grew up at 99 Spencer Street. Her family sold the property but never intended to have it other than a single family home. There was a previous application to turn the building into a 4 plex which was turned down. Ms. Dawson has a concern with the intensified traffic, parking setbacks and noise. They put a fence up to shield their property from the constant noise and unsightliness of the property. This change of use will adversely affect their use of their own property. There has been constant construction at the house for over the last 20 years with no building permits. Ms. Dawson indicated the parking should be moved to North Street.
Lorna Speicher of 96 Spencer Street indicated that the dwelling has been an illegal rooming house for the last 10 years. Ms. Speicher has concerns with the additional traffic and parking and noted the police have been frequenting the house for several years. She feels the dwelling should remain as a single family dwelling.
Committee questioned the buffering between the first parking space and the sidewalk as well as the existing fencing. Staff advised that there is sufficient green space between the parking space and the sidewalk and through site plan, additional fencing or plantings could be implemented.
Committee discussed their concerns with the number of parking spaces, the driveway width and the possible difficulty of cars going in and out of the site. There was also a concern noted with the storage and removal of snow.
Committee questioned whether parking could be moved and exit off of North Street.
Mr. Varadas stated that utilizing the existing parking would result in minimal disruption of the property. They had looked at the option to come off North Street, however, this would create a significant parking area in the majority of the front yard. The entrance would have to be fairly close to existing entrances on North Street. Parking spaces in this area would cause the removal of the lawn area currently existing.
Committee requested clarification of the front lot line and side lot lines. Staff advised that North Street is the front lot line even though accessed from Spencer Street. To move the parking area off of North Street, the zoning would have to be amended to allow for parking in the front yard.
Mr. Varadas indicated that he felt this would not be approved because the entrance would be too close to the existing intersection. The existing proposal would allow for safe access onto Spencer Street. There was also a concern about having to remove the large trees on the property.
Staff advised that parking under the zoning by-law is to be in the side or rear yard. There was an exemption requested for the exterior yard which is proposed in the by-law. Should it be proposed to move the parking area into the front yard then a possible deferral would be required to investigate the closeness to the intersection.
38 PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES Wednesday June 17, 2015 7:00 p.m. Town Council Chambers Page 5
Committee questioned how many spaces are required and were advised six. Committee questioned if there is a setback of the laneway to the neighbor’s property.
Committee questioned the location of the two spots in the existing driveway and how difficult it would be for a vehicle in one of the four spots backing into the existing. Mr. Varadas advised that the two spots can be moved closer to the back of the property.
Concern was noted as to where snow is to be placed on the property and if there is a drainage plan. Staff advised that snow removal would be addressed through site plan.
Committee questioned if the parking requirements in an R4 zone are different than in an R1 zone.
Staff advised that in residential zones the driveway can be anywhere on the lot, however, the parking area is required in the side or rear yard. Staff further advised the zoning definition determines the front lot line, not the positioning of the house. The zoning by-law requires the same setbacks and standards for a front yard and exterior yard.
The definition of the front lot line is to calculate for frontage to ensure no additional uses are allowed on a lot having small frontage. All other provisions are the same including setbacks.
Committee noted a concern with parking and vehicles coming onto North Street and it was questioned if some of the decking could be removed to accommodate parking.
Mr. Varadas advised that they looked at removing some decking. There is a double doorway and a new deck would still have to be maintained for access. If the deck is partially removed, there is a possibility to move the parking area over about 1 ½ metres which does not add a huge benefit to the design.
Committee feels a better design could be drafted to allow for more area to accommodate parking.
Committee questioned the standard distance for an entrance from intersection. Staff advised the general rule is fifty feet. Committee questioned if it is possible to still meet the standards.
Committee noted concern with removing the deck as it allows for outdoor space for the unit.
Committee noted the encroachment of the deck and it was advised that the setback was proposed to be recognized in the draft by-law.
Committee noted a concern with the outstanding building permits and questioned if the use of the existing building is the main driver behind this application or, if not suitable for a fourplex, what would be another proposal.
Mr. Varadas advised that his client does want to utilize the existing building. If the building is beyond repair, they would look to possibly rebuilding to allow for a fourplex.
39 PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES Wednesday June 17, 2015 7:00 p.m. Town Council Chambers Page 6
Committee expressed a concern about rebuilding a larger, higher building on the property should the zoning be approved.
Staff advised that the draft by-law recognizes the existing building at the current setbacks. If a new structure is built it would have to meet the setback requirements in the R4 zone.
Committee questioned the lot size being smaller than required at 10 square metres in the R4 zone. The zoning by-law would recognize the lot frontage and area and the required setbacks in this zone would have to be met.
Committee questioned if the current lot is small for an R4 zone. Staff advised that the lot is 10 square metres undersized for an R4 zone.
Committee noted that the deck could be reconfigured possibly to the back of the dwelling.
Committee questioned the outstanding permits. Staff advised that if going to an R4 zone then a change of use is required and the outstanding permits are void as the new permits would be issued as new construction. Should the property stay as a single family dwelling, the new owner takes the responsibility of the permits which will have to be finalized and closed.
Staff confirmed that the applicants would have to come back to Committee to go higher or larger.
Committee questioned why the application was previously turned down in 1990. It was noted substantial opposition by the neighbours. The Official Plan today supports intensification and the circumstances have changed.
Staff advised that the proposed zoning is recognizing lot area and setbacks of the existing building. If a new proposal is to go higher the building would have to meet the setbacks for the zone. Staff would need to see what the applicants are proposing if a new building is proposed and would have to verify that the new structure meets all setbacks and parking.
Staff advised the shed has been removed and there is room for trees to be planted.
