Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan, October 2016 Page 1
I N T E N T
A typical lake sustainability plan is built to respond to a major issue such as land development or pollution. There are over 40 lakes in Ontario with lake plans in place. The Kashwakamak Lake Association (KLA) decided to pursue building a lake sustainability plan in 2011, not because of a major issue, but to proactively prevent one from developing.
The purpose of a lake plan is to set a future vision for the lake by:
Promoting discussion and action with all community members
Identifying and protecting specific lake values
Identifying issues and impacts
To date, the Kashwakamak Lake Planning Committee (KLPC) has conducted surveys, research, produced reports, and obtained feedback in preparation for establishing a Lake Sustainability Plan. This document is the draft plan to be circulated in the community for the purpose of obtaining feedback and updates to ensure it reflects the needs and views of the whole community. The Lake Sustainability Plan will form the basis for action plans that will contribute to making our lake something our future generations will continue to enjoy.
We have often described “Kash” as “heaven on earth.” All cottage/ homeowners on the Lake have a duty to be lake stewards and try to preserve the natural beauty of the area…” Community Survey Comment

1. W h a t is a Sustainability Plan?
Sustainability is defined as a way that future generations have access to the same opportunities and quality of life on the lake that we do. It is a balancing act - one where nature, community and economy all work together.
The Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan is a long-term action plan that reflects current and historical knowledge of the lake and community expectations about what is needed to protect the natural, physical, cultural and economic aspects of the lake and its watershed.
The lake planning process offers the opportunity for everyone with an interest in the lake, i.e. anyone who works, plays, lives on, does business or bears responsibility for the lake and its watershed, to come together to discuss their concerns and share their expertise. The process of gathering community input is as important as the end result. Through discussion, residents identify what they value about the lake, learn about the issues affecting it, develop awareness of available resources, and offer recommendations on goals, objectives and actions that promote sustainable development and overall protection of the lake and its watershed.
2. How the Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan was developed
In 2010, The Kashwakamak Lake Association (KLA) established a sub-committee with membership representing permanent and seasonal residents, commercial property owners, the Township of North Frontenac (TNF), and the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) and mandated them to initiate the process that would lead to the development of the Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan.
The purpose of the lake planning process is to: Identify specific lake values (i.e. water quality, health of shorelines, fishing, natural habitats) Promote community discussion and action Educate and communicate with all lake community members and interested parties Set a future vision for the lake Identify issues and impacts Set environmental and social targets Recommend stewardship actions Recognize and address new issues as they arise
In fulfillment of this mandate, the committee drafted the State of the Lake report (July 2013) using data collected from interested parties from two questionnaires, individual and group consultations, and research using electronic, telephone and personal contacts. The final report was approved at the 2014 KLA Annual General Meeting as a living document that will be revised as new information becomes available or additional issues arise.
Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan, October 2016 Page 3
The next step was drafting a strategic, long range plan rooted in the State of the Lake Report and data gathered from Kashwakamak Lake constituents that encourages a cooperative and shared responsibility for the protection of the lake.
3. Vision
The vision for the Lake Sustainability Plan is to develop a plan that carries forward a legacy of enjoying the lake while supporting the natural environment for future generations. This is an effort that brings together common interests of the community as we all contribute to the solutions to ensure that we have a healthy community for generations to come.
“For generations, the Kashwakamak properties have been a focal point for all our families to visit each other, and a central place where we can all visit nature and forget the worries of our jobs, no matter how stressful.”

4. Community Participation
Community input is critical to the development and implementation of the sustainability plan. Residents, both permanent and seasonal, and commercial operations who derive income directly from the lake have been represented on the KLA sub-committee along with the MVCA and the Township of North Frontenac. The sub-committee consulted other parties who had access to or benefited from Kashwakamak Lake including business owners and residents from areas of Northbrook, Cloyne and Fernleigh, outfitters from as far away as Kingston, and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (OMNRF).
Throughout the five year lake planning process our goal was to keep stakeholders informed and involved. This was done through email, direct mail, regular website updates, Facebook page updates, articles in the Frontenac News, KLA meetings and the KLA’s Kash Kourier. Going forward the KLA and the KLPC will focus on continued community input and participation in the implementation of the lake sustainability plan. Current information and a link to this and other reports can be found on the KLA’s website, www.kashwakamak.ca.

GENERAL OVERVIEW
Located downstream of Mazinaw and Marble Lakes and upstream of Farm, Mud and Crotch Lakes, Kashwakamak Lake is essentially a widening of the Mississippi River and is located in the Township of North Frontenac (TNF).
The watershed extends northwest to Denbigh and the outflow from Mazinaw Lake is the main source of water for the lake. The Mississippi River enters the west end of the lake from the outlet of Georgia Lake at Whitefish Rapids and exits at the Kashwakamak Lake Dam at the east end of the lake to flow down the Mississippi River.
The total drainage area for the lake is 417 square kilometres, with a surface area of 1208 hectares. The lake perimeter is approximately 72 km long and its shoreline is dominated by numerous inlets and shallow bays. The average depth of the lake is 8.4 metres and the maximum depth is 22 metres. Kashwakamak Lake is at an elevation of 261 metres above sea level.
Based on 2014 Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) mapping information, there are an estimated 534 properties on the lake.
Kashwakamak Lake is fortunate to have 27 large tracts of Crown Land along much of its shoreline. It is estimated that 39% (plus numerous crown islands) of the lands fronting onto the lake are Crown. In addition, there are 87 vacant lots. There are several small wetlands around the perimeter of the lake, and the surrounding land is mostly forest covered, as it is poor agricultural land.

W h a t do y o u v a l u e about Kashwakamak Lake?
The Kashwakamak Lake Planning Committee (KLPC) conducted a survey of lake users to obtain a view of how they use the lake, what they value about the lake and what they see as the issues potentially impacting those values. The Survey was conducted through the summer and fall of 2011. The KLPC also conducted a separate phone survey of local businesses. The community survey was completed by 170 individuals and 31 businesses participated in the business survey. Survey results were then shared at the 2012 Kashwakamak Lake Association (KLA) Annual General Meeting and public discussion and input was sought. (See Appendix 1 of the State of the Lake Report: Survey Results ).
In the Community Survey, respondents were asked to identify and rank the features that they most value about Kashwakamak Lake. A list of 11 potential values were provided and participants were invited to add any values that were not on the list. The Values most identified (weighted score) by the community respondents were: 1. Clean, Clear Water 2. Peace and Tranquility 3. Recreational Enjoyment 4. Appreciation of Wildlife, Birds, etc. 5. Retention of Crown Land 6. Night skies 7. Natural Shorelines 8. Cottage Safety/Property Security 9. Landscapes 10. “Cottage Country” Characteristics 11. Sense of Community
In the Business Survey, respondents were asked why the Kashwakamak Lake community is important to their business. The responses were as follows: 1. Customers 2. Good roads to customers’ property 3. Good cottage/camper relationships 4. Lake quality 5. Social events
What are the issues on Kashwakamak Lake?
Through the community survey participants were asked to identify and rate what they regarded as the issues for the lake. A list of 18 potential issues was provided and respondents could also add any additional issues not included on the list. The issues/concerns identified by the respondents were as follows (listed by weighted score): 1. Personal Water Crafts 2. Boating Related Issues 3. Fish Depletion 4. Weeds/Algae 5. Daytime Noise 6. Water Levels 7. Residential/Commercial Development Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan, October 2016 Page 9
8. Water Pollution 9. Night time Noise 10. Tree and Vegetation Removal 11. Septic System Issues 12. Outdoor Light Pollution 13. Road Access 14. Camping on Islands 15. Logging Operations 16. All-Terrain Vehicles 17. Water Access 18. Snowmobiles
In the Business Survey, participants were asked to identify their businesses’ issues or concerns about the Kashwakamak Lake community. No issues were identified by 50% of those surveyed.
Of those businesses surveyed, 6.6% identified 2 issues: Lack of local customers Fish Habitat
Of those businesses surveyed, 3.3% identified the following issues: Customer needs change with demographic change Jet Skis “Cottagers play an Lack of government support for business important part of Logging Restrictions my business.” Low water levels in fall Municipality not encouraging development Business Survey Comment Over protective cottagers Plans fall back to MNR Some roads are poor Unsure sustainability is important Want to expand business
From the above we have identified the following nine issues:
1. Impacts of Boating and Personal Watercraft
2. Development Pressures
3. Water Quality
4. Aquatic Vegetation
5. Fisheries
Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan, October 2016 Page 10
6. Shoreline Protection and Health
7. Water Levels
8. Flora, Fauna, Wildlife and Forestry
9. Economic Impact
INTERDEPENDENCE OF ISSUES
Many of these issues overlap and are interdependent. Based on survey results and discussions with many people water quality is at the centre of every issue.

Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan, October 2016 Page 11
1. IMPACTS OF BOATING AND PERSONAL WATERCRAFT
Power boating is a popular recreational activity that many lake residents and users enjoy. Boating was identified as the third most popular recreational activity, with 85% of survey respondents indicating that they boat on Kashwakamak Lake. Personal Watercraft was the #1 issue of those surveyed, and boating was the #2 issue. Motorized boats and personalize watercraft can introduce invasive species and pollute the environment through emissions. Motorized boats and personal watercrafts can irritate property owners with excessive speed, noise and by coming in too close to shore present a safety concern to swimmers and other boaters. Boat and Personal Watercraft wakes can accelerate shoreline erosion and impact wildlife by flooding nest sites. Boat propellers can chop up invasive aquatic plants and aid in spreading them.
ISSUES
Shoreline erosion, noise, boat traffic, personal safety, invasive species, pollution, impact on wildlife
WHAT WE KNOW Shoreline erosion is a common and natural process that many waterfront properties encounter Boat wakes can cause shoreline erosion, disturb aquatic ecosystems, swamp the nests of loons and other waterfowl, damage docks and boats, upset canoes and small boats and create danger to swimmers The extent to which boat and personal watercraft wakes contributes to shoreline erosion around Kashwakamak Lake is currently not documented There is no information available to determine if current boating activity is a significant source of air and water pollution for the lake All operators of recreational powered watercrafts who operate within Canadian waters require a Pleasure Craft Operators Card, regardless of engine size, or length of boat Conventional two-stroke marine engines in boats and personal watercrafts emit proportionally more volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other air pollutants than more fuel efficient, direct injection two-stroke and four-stroke engines
A personal water craft (PWC), also called a water scooter, is a recreational watercraft that the rider sits or stands on, rather than inside of, as in a boat. PWCs have two style categories: “sit down”, where the rider used the watercraft mainly sitting down and typically holds two or more people and “stand up”, where the rider uses the watercraft standing up. They are often referred by the trademarked brand names Jet Ski, WaveRunner or SeaDoo. The US Coast Guard defines a PWC as a jet boat less than 13 feet or 4 metres in length.

GOAL
To minimize the negative impacts of boating on Kashwakamak Lake
1. IMPACTS OF BOATING & PERSONAL WATERCRAFT Objective Actions Recommendations
Ensure our lake Share information and Information can be distributed through KLA community is educate motor boat website, newsletters, emails and Facebook page aware of the users how to minimize impacts of specific their impact on the Presentation at an AGM – how to minimize boat wake boating behaviors lake
Reduce impact on Add “no wake zone” signs shoreline erosion and on wildlife Add speed reduction signs in narrow areas throughout the lake
Encourage loon nest protection and promote distance of watercraft from nesting birds and wildlife
Protect Kashwakamak Continue to provide information about the Lake from the introduction of invasive species and their impact introduction of on the lake invasive species Evaluate and explore the feasibility of providing boat washing facilities
Post additional and larger signs at public access points warning of the spread of invasive species
Promote safe boating Invite the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) to an habits AGM to share their experiences and findings on our lake
Continue maintenance and installation of KLA marker buoys throughout the lake
Develop and provide boating etiquette brochures to the lake community and commercial lodges and campgrounds
Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan, October 2016 Page 13
Educate users on new Information can be distributed through the KLA low emission engine website, newsletters, emails and the Lake technology Kashwakamak Facebook group
Share information on new technologies in both 2 and 4 stroke engines, the positive effect of motor maintenance Gain an Through a survey, a boat census or data understanding for how collection, identify motorized, versus non-motorized many motorized, and boats, hours of use, time of day, time of year of use non-motorized boats etc. are on the lake
1. IMPACTS OF BOATING & PERSONAL WATERCRAFT: WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW
Pay attention to your boat wake and understand the impact it has on the shoreline and wildlife Ensure your boat is well-maintained and that the engine is running efficiently Beware of the implications in moving boats from lake to lake Read Section 10 of the full Kashwakamak Lake State of the Lake Report (July 2013): Boating, Buoys, Safety and Impact of Boating to learn more about boating on Kashwakamak Lake
2. DEVELOPMENT PRESSURES
As the population continues to grow, maintaining the health of the lake, while meeting demands for development and redevelopment will be a continuing challenge. Promoting sustainable future development within our watershed will help to protect the lake’s overall health. 96% of those surveyed in 2011 indicated that retention of crown land was either very important or important.
ISSUES
Overdevelopment, increase in number of boats, shoreline clearing, loss of habitat, erosion, privacy, noise and other pollution
Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan, October 2016 Page 14
WHAT WE KNOW
Development is managed through the Township of North Frontenac (TNF) by the Official Plan and Zoning Bylaws: o The Official Plan sets out the municipality's general policies for future land use (policies for where and how to manage growth and development). o The Zoning Bylaws guide how development can take place within a property (where buildings and other structures can be located, lot sizes and dimensions, parking requirements, building heights and setbacks from lots lines, water, etc.) The North Frontenac Official Plan was approved on December 23, 2003. Under the Planning Act Official Plans must undergo review and update (if needed to reflect current policy) every 5 years. A new North Frontenac Official Plan adopted by Council in February 2012 was never approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH). Following the approval of the Frontenac County Official Plan in January 2016, MMAH delegated the approval authority for local Official Plans and Official Plan amendments to Frontenac County Council. Frontenac County is now responsible for approving the new Township of North Frontenac Official Plan. A new draft North Frontenac Official Plan is currently under review and is slated for approval in the fall of 2016 The Township of North Frontenac Zoning Bylaw was approved by Council in July 2004. A new draft Zoning Bylaw was prepared in June 2011 but was not approved. Further revisions and approval of the new Zoning By-law are on hold pending approval of the new Official Plan The Planning Act includes requirements for public consultation when changes are being considered to the Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw documents. This provides an opportunity for the lake community to formally review and provide comments and recommendations to the Township and/or the County regarding changes to the Official Plan or Zoning Bylaws Approximately 39% of the lands fronting onto the lake are crown. This estimate does not include the un-purchased 66 foot shore road allowance in front of privately owned properties Lands are managed by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR) Under agreement with OMNR, the TNF manages 19 established campsites on the Crown Land around Kashwakamak Lake Cottage lots were originally severed and sold by the Crown starting in the late 1950s To date there have been no large scale residential developments, such as subdivision or condominium type development on the lake Based on a 2014 Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) mapping information, there are an estimated 534 properties including 4 resorts/marinas on the lake There is an ongoing Algonquin Land Claim, and Kashwakamak Lake is part of the claim territory. A proposed Agreement in Principle is available at www.ontario.ca/landclaims

3. WATER QUALITY
Clean, clear water was ranked as the number one lake feature valued by survey respondents. Surface water quality in Kashwakamak Lake is affected by both natural processes and human activities. Human causes include shoreline development, excessive recreational use, faulty septic systems and surface runoff carrying fertilizers or other chemicals. Water quality for Kashwakamak Lake and other area lakes is assessed according to several parameters that provide a measurement of nutrient loading. Higher levels of nutrients such as phosphorus can affect the health of the Lake, promoting algal blooms and excessive aquatic plant growth. Other potential pollutants such as hydrocarbons, metals and bacteria (E. coli) are generally not monitored on lakes except as needed for a specific feature (ex. public beaches are monitored for E Coli bacteria), an event (ex. gasoline spill), or other potential issues.
Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan, October 2016 Page 18
ISSUES
Nutrient loading, pollution, water clarity, aesthetics, invasive species
WHAT WE KNOW Water sampling shows that Kashwakamak Lake has low to moderate nutrient levels (total phosphorus), fluctuating between Mesotrophic and Oligotrophic status Dissolved oxygen and temperature profiles for the lake show that by mid-July the bottom waters of the lake become oxygen deficient, this reduces habitat and survivability for aquatic life pH levels are consistently above 7.0 and within the Provincial Water Quality Objective range of 6.5 to 8.5 In 2013 sampling of the lake for invasive species confirmed the presence of both Zebra Mussels and Spiny Water Flea. Spiny Water Flea were found again in 2014 The voluntary septic re-inspections program started in 2006 found that 51% of the 144 systems inspected between 2006 and 2012 required some form of remedial work (ex. repairs, pump out)
GOAL
Protect, maintain and improve the water quality of Kashwakamak Lake
3. WATER QUALITY Objective Actions Recommendations

Read Section 4 of the full Kashwakamak Lake State of the Lake Report (July 2013): Water Quality and Aquatic Life to learn more about water quality on Kashwakamak Lake Keep your shoreline well vegetated: start a buffer strip by leaving some grass uncut near the water and replanting areas lacking shrubs and trees with native vegetation Don’t use fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides near the water Avoid spilling fuels on the land or water Dispose of leftover hazardous waste (i.e. antifreeze, paint thinner or other chemicals) at a designated hazardous waste facility Ensure your septic system is healthy – through regular pumping, inspections, and filter Installation and/or maintenance, http://mvc.on.ca/?s=septic+system
4. AQUATIC VEGETATION
16% of those surveyed in 2011 indicated that weeds and algae had moderate or significant impact to their enjoyment of their property or time at the lake.
While many people consider aquatic plants to be weeds, they are an important and necessary part of a healthy lake ecosystem. They provide shelter, breeding sites or nesting sites and food for many fish, insects and animals; they help to prevent algae blooms by taking up nutrients; they improve water clarity by stabilizing sediments; and they prevent shoreline erosion by dissipating wave/wake energy and holding onto sediment that would otherwise wash away. While aquatic vegetation is a natural and essential part of a balanced ecosystem, higher amounts of phosphorus (nutrient enrichment) can lead to an overgrowth of “weeds” and algae, resulting in impairment to water clarity and water quality. In extreme cases, algal blooms will form, affecting the aesthetics and enjoyment of the lake.
ISSUES
Excessive growth, interference with recreation, aesthetics, introduction of invasive species
WHAT WE KNOW Understanding what drives excessive aquatic vegetation growth and establishing management actions are key in managing aquatic vegetation growth rate There is no specific research or documentation of weed growth in Kashwakamak Lake; however it has been observed that there has been noticeable increase in weed growth in the past 10 years
Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan, October 2016 Page 21
Filamentous algae is a common and troublesome aquatic weed that forms dense, hair-like mats near shore bottom sediments or submerged objects in lakes with good transparency where light reaches the bottom Excessive nutrient loading (phosphorus and nitrogen) can result from man-made sources such as lawn fertilizers, faulty septic systems, soil erosion and phosphorus-rich detergents The concentration of nutrients in the water, water temperature and the amount of light can all influence the type and the amount of algae and aquatic plant growth in the lake As a lake ages, a buildup of nutrients in the sediment can cause a natural increase in plant growth over time (eutrophication); this process can be sped up when a lake receives an overload of nutrients from fertilizer runoff, leaky septic systems, or erosion; increases in water temperature caused by changes in climate and the removal or shoreline vegetation that would normally provide shade, can also contribute to excessive plant and algae growth
GOAL
Work towards achieving aquatic vegetation levels that balance the ecological health of the lake with the continued human enjoyment of the lake

4. AQUATIC VEGETATION: WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW
• Read Section 4.4 of the full Kashwakamak Lake Plan State of the Lake Report (July 2013): Weeds and Algae to learn about both the benefits of aquatic vegetation, and some of the concern about and cause of excessive weed and algae growth • Do not use fertilizers that can enter the lake through surface runoff • Ensure your septic system is healthy – through regular pumping, inspections, and filter installation/maintenance • Avoid operating your boat motor through weedy areas – as weeds can spread when they are chopped up
5. F I S H E R I E S
Fish depletion was ranked the third highest issue/concern by survey respondents. Wildlife biodiversity is an integral part of the overall health of the lake. Maintaining a healthy and natural habitat ecosystem on the lake will protect wildlife and fish populations that depend upon it. The state of a lake’s fishery is a good indicator of the overall health of the lake environment. A healthy lake with good water quality and sustainable use will support a healthy fish population. This in turn will increase the natural beauty and enjoyment of Kashwakamak Lake. Fishing was identified as the eighth most popular recreational activity, with 62% of survey respondents indicating that they fish on Kashwakamak Lake.
Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan, October 2016 Page 23
ISSUES
Fish habitat protection, proper fishing practices and enforcement of fishing regulations
WHAT WE KNOW Kashwakamak Lake boasts a diverse fish community including walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass and pan fish populations The weedy inlets and bays of Kashwakamak Lake are ideal habitat for cool water and warm water fish species that dominate the lake. The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (OMNRF) oversees a Broad-scale Fisheries Monitoring Program. Netting was done on the lake in 2008 and then again in 2013. For more information, please go to: 2013 Lake Bulletin Report and 2008 Lake Bulletin Report
GOAL
Ensure a healthy fish habitat
5. FISHERIES Objective Actions Recommendations
Protect, Improve fish Map and assess condition of walleye spawning areas around the maintain and habitat and lake enhance fish Examine potential for improvement to existing and creation of indigenous population new walleye spawning sites fish and around the wildlife lake Work with appropriate agencies to undertake fish habitat diversity and enhancement projects their required Ensure fish habitat is protected as per the MNR Natural habitat in Heritage Reference Manual and Environment Canada’s How Kashwakamak Much Habitat is Enough? Lake Lobby the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) to conduct inventories and research to better understand the state of the fishery (populations, spawning and other habitats, need and opportunity for rehabilitation and/or stocking), and to implement rehabilitation and stocking efforts if the need is identified Work to Develop an awareness and education campaign about the lake’s reduce fisheries, lake friendly fishing practices and current fishing stressors on regulations

5. FISHERIES: WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW
Read Section 11 of the full Kashwakamak Lake Plan State of the Lake Report (July 2013): Fishing to learn about the fishery in Kashwakamak Lake Look for bass spawning sites near your shoreline and dock and avoid disturbing those areas during spawning season (generally late May to mid-June) Do not dump fill or sand along the waterfront Leave trees where they fall in the water unless they are a hazard to boaters or swimmers Use docks as bridge over the weedier shallows, or moor a raft in deeper water, rather than removing aquatic vegetation/weeds and logs to make a swimming area
6. SHORELINE PROTECTION AND HEALTH
Shorelines provide essential habitat for fish, reptiles, waterfowl and mammals. A healthy shoreline helps to minimize erosion, and filters contaminates from entering the lake. Maintaining a healthy shoreline is critical to the lake ecosystem and to protecting the overall water quality of the lake. 95% of those surveyed in 2011 indicated that shoreline protection was either very important or important.
ISSUES
Shoreline erosion, removal of aquatic vegetation, loss of habitat, developed shorelines
WHAT WE KNOW There has been no evaluation of Kashwakamak Lake erosion conditions Observation shows that banks are slowly being undercut as demonstrated by overhanging trees that eventually over time fall into the lake The protection of fish, wildlife, their habitats and water quality depends upon the protection of vegetated lake shores Shoreline erosion can result in the loss of land and affect shoreline property values The Township of North Frontenac (TNF) Zoning By-law No. 15-04 (Draft) dated June 2011 requires that the remaining shoreline frontage be retained or restored a 15 metre (49.2 ft) in depth, measured from the normal or controlled high water mark (Section 4.22.2). The intent of the By-law is to eliminate the total clearing of trees and vegetation from the cottage to the lake. The Zoning By-law Amendments cannot be passed until the TNF Official Plan is passed

Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan, October 2016 Page 26
7. WATER LEVELS
Water levels can be a source of concern for Kashwakamak Lake residents, ranking sixth among the issues and concerns the survey respondents identified for the lake. Comments included concern about damage to trees and wildlife from high water levels, better notification of planned changes in the water levels, and reducing the amount of drop in the water level. Changes in weather conditions including unusually high or low amounts of precipitation and/or storm events can periodically contribute to unusually high or low water levels. Climate change predictions suggest that we will see seasonal changes in the amounts of precipitation and that may change the timing, duration and intensity of both high flow (flood) and low flow (drought) events.
Kashwakamak Lake is a managed system, operated by the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) and not within the KLA’s control. The dam located at Kashwakamak Lake’s outlet is owned and operated by the MVCA and is used to manage water levels under normal conditions according to management strategies and operation ranges set out in the Mississippi River Water Management Plan (2006). The Kashwakamak Lake dam will be in need of major repair at some time in the near future. MVCA is currently considering policy options to guide the apportionment of cost (cost sharing) between municipalities, in accordance with the Conservation Authorities Act, for capital projects such as dam repairs.
ISSUES
Too high, too low, property damage, impact on a lake’s ecosystem and wildlife
WHAT WE KNOW
Kashwakamak Lake is a reservoir lake meaning that throughout the winter the water level is lowered allowing room for storing water from spring rains and snow melt under “normal” or typical spring conditions; the lake gradually fills up again to provide suitable water levels throughout the summer recreation season A number of factors are taken into account in operating the dams along the system including flood control, low flow augmentation, fish and wildlife, waterpower, tourism and recreation Summer water levels are targeted before the start of the walleye spawn to protect a prime spawning shoal located at the head of the lake at Whitefish Rapids Fall drawdown begins after Thanksgiving weekend Over 53 years of records the annual maximum water levels have showed a relatively constant level, averaging 261.22 meters above sea level, yet average winter flows on the Mississippi River have increased substantially since the 1970s and have shown greater year to year fluctuations Climate change models predict spring high flows to be lower and occur earlier in the year;
Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan, October 2016 Page 27
summer flows will be lower and the low flow levels will last longer, whereas fall and winter flows will be higher with a greater risk of flooding and potential shoreline erosion Shoreline ice damage is expected to become more prevalent, putting permanent shoreline structures at risk of damage
GOAL
Increase community awareness of water level management, to sustain natural ecosystems and to minimize risks from flooding
7. WATER LEVELS Objective Actions Recommendations
Promote In cooperation with Maintain good liaison/dialogue with MVCA regarding understanding MVCA, water level management policies and practices and maintain/improve awareness the water level Work with MVCA to establish a communication strategy of dam to update property owners when water levels are a reporting program operating concern ranges and work with Provide/disseminate information regarding best MVCA to practices and “what to expect” when living on a lake manage with fluctuating water levels expectations regarding Encourage the use of shoreline best management fluctuating practices that are resilient to projected changes in water levels ice conditions and water levels (ex. floating docks)
Assist MVCA in recruiting several water monitoring volunteers to help MVCA in overseeing the water level monitoring system
Monitor and provide input on the development of the MVCA Capital Project Levy Policy as it relates to dam repairs
7. WATER LEVELS: WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW
• Read Section 2 of the full Kashwakamak Lake Plan State of the Lake Report (July 2013): Hydrology and Water Levels to learn about water levels on Kashwakamak • Look on the MVCA website to see where you can access Kashwakamak Lake water level data • Leave deep rooted vegetation along the shore as a form of erosion protection against ice and wave damage • If your permanent dock needs to be replaced or repaired consider replacing it with a floating dock or other type of removable dock
Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan, October 2016 Page 28
8. FLORA, FAUNA, WILDLIFE AND FORESTRY
Maintaining and enhancing wildlife health on the lake was identified as an important objective by the lake community. 99% of those surveyed in 2011 indicated that wildlife and birds were highly valued - as either very important or important
ISSUES
Loss of wildlife habitat, invasive species (i.e. Emerald Ash Borer), species at risk (i.e. Bald Eagle), diminished loon nesting, loss of habitat through development and re-development, destruction of natural shoreline vegetation, fire control and prevention
WHAT WE KNOW Kashwakamak Lake falls in the Northern portion of the Mixed Woods Plain Eco zone The lake is surrounded by large tracts of Crown Land that is mostly forested; the area is geologically controlled by the Canadian Shield and is covered with a diverse mixture of hardwood and conifer forests Forests are managed by the Mazinaw-Lanark Forest Inc. (MLFI) in cooperation with Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) No data has been collected on the condition of wildlife in the area Threats to wildlife include the loss of habitat through development and re-development and destruction of the natural shoreline vegetation Local wildlife centres: Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre (Napanee), www.sandypineswildlife.org and the Rideau Wildlife Sanctuary (North Gower) www.rideauwildlife.org Forests drive both tourism (cottagers) and business (logging) and provide home for our wildlife, flowers and fauna The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry has developed a fire warning rating system, including daily references to humidity, rainfall, drought axis, yearly snowfall rate and snowfall compaction. This rating is posted on highway signs with a needle graph indicating the fire reading
Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan, October 2016 Page 29

9 . ECONOMIC IMPACT
An important part of the "big picture" about the sustainability of the Kashwakamak Lake community are the businesses that provide local goods and services. Whether it's a need such as plumbing, towing, or food, local businesses rely on customers to keep their doors open. Without these businesses, it could be very difficult to get the products or services we need in our community.
ISSUES
In 2012, members of the Lake Kashwakamak Sustainability Planning Committee talked with 31 local businesses to understand their values and concerns. Three of the businesses said that they were likely closing their operations within a year. The top value and concern expressed by 75% of those surveyed is the need for local customers. Without them, they will go out of business.
WHAT WE KNOW
BUSINESSES ARE BENEFICIAL In addition to providing the goods and services to the community, there are a number of benefits from local businesses.
Tax revenue for the local government. This means there is less pressure on residential property taxes for government revenue Contributions to community organizations in the form of donations or services in kind to help those less fortunate Local employment. Of the 31 businesses surveyed by the Lake Kashwakamak Sustainability Planning Committee in 2012, there were between 130 and 145 full time jobs provided in the community
Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan, October 2016 Page 31
TOURISM DRIVES THE ECONOMY It's important for the community to understand that seasonality is significant for businesses in the area. Based on a 2012 survey conducted by the Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Planning Committee, 31 businesses identified their peak business months of the year. When aggregated, the summer months of July and August show to be the busiest times of the year. This shows us that tourism and cottagers contribute to the economic impacts in the community. From individual discussions with these 31 business owners, 16% of them mentioned the importance of cottagers and tourists for their business.
SPENDING LOCALLY SUPPORTS THE COMMUNITY Think about this. Money spent at an international retailer provides local jobs, but the wealth of the owners is extracted from the community. Money spent at a locally-owned retailer stays within the community where the owner will spend the money again on advertising, food, services, etc. The concept of a "circular economy" is that keeping money within a community helps build local wealth and prosperity for the community. 75% of businesses surveyed stated that customers are the main reason the Kashwakamak Lake community is important to them. One of the top concerns, is the lack of customers.
Several businesses made a point of telling us that local business is competitive. If you're seeing a better deal in the city, then talk to the local business owner to see what they can do for you.
GOAL
Support local businesses and the local economy to help ensure the overall sustainability of Kashwakamak Lake
Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan, October 2016 Page 32

THE FUTURE
Next Steps
The Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan was formally released at the July 9, 2016 Annual General Meeting of the Kashwakamak Lake Association. Members of the Lake Community read it in advance and came prepared and provided valuable input. Based on input at the AGM, the Sustainability Plan was put forward for “adoption in principle.”
Lake Sustainability Committees were listed and members of the
Lake Community signed up to volunteer on their committee of choice. Each Committee will then prioritize the implementation of “We truly love the lake area the recommendations outlined in the Sustainability Plan. Time lines and wish that its beauty for implementation of specific actions will fall from each committee. People who had expressed interest in volunteering throughout the and water quality be lake planning process were emailed to update them about preserved. We also hope opportunities to get involved. New volunteers will be welcome at that most cottagers share any time. this desire and … that we will all be caretakers of The Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan is a living document and the lake.” will evolve. An Appendix will keep track of implementation initiatives
associated with the plan and its recommendations. Lake Plan Status Community Survey Comment reports will be given to the community at each Annual General Meeting in July. Over the course of implementation the plan will be reviewed and updated in response to changes in our Lake environment and community. The Kashwakamak Lake Association will continue to consult and involve its members and the lake community as we move into the implementation stages of the plan.
The Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan will be formally reviewed and updated every five years. It will also be updated in accordance with any changes to the North Frontenac Official Plan in order to adapt to future conditions and changes. The implementation of this plan begins today with the help and support of the Kashwakamak Lake community. Ongoing community participation is essential to this whole process.

Thank you council for allowing me the time to address you collectively on some very important issues that affect tax payers throughout the Township who you are elected to represent .
I have conducted my own survey of tax payers primarily “cottagers” and received back a staggering 83 responses which I will share with you today . I think if there is one single item that comes from the responses it is the overall feeling that most of us are left in the dark about decisions that affect all of us . We are also rarely asked for our opinions or input . There is a lack of communication or disconnect between council and its tax payers . When I wrote to each of you earlier in the year , asking about an issue regarding the municipal building some of you never even responded --- those that did respond I thank you for your courtesy .
It is not sufficient to simply feel the mere existence of your website provides all the information as I found it neither up to date an example the reeve / mayor’s last post was July 2016 )nor does the website contain the specific info that I was searching for . In today’s era of technology there is little excuse for not providing tax payers with more info than simply mailing a tax billing . Again with no message for reeve / mayor . Taxpayers should be far more involved in the decision making process and council I would have thought would find their their input often useful. It is unacceptable to only learn of a decision after the decision has been made . It is like being asked to close the door only after the proverbial “horse has already left the barn “.
The survey details :
83 responses (using my own email listing )
A summary is enclosed
Highlights :
1) 92 % oppose the new municipal building project expenditure 2) 96 % feel the unconditional grant of federal gas tax could be put to better use than the building project 3) 97% believe maintaining the Cloyne firehall is important 4) 97% believe the fire fighting and rescue equipment should be maintained up to recommended standards 5) 78% believe the Cloyne playground equipment should be replaced 6) 99% believe the option of internet voting in next election should be made available 7) 99% would like council and township to keep them informed by email 8) 97% believe cottagers should receive same relief as year round residents for Hydro 9) 93% feel the delivery charge made by hydro should be changed .
I would like to focus on a few of the highlights within my allotted time .
Municipal building project -- I believe it is wrong to make an expenditure of this magnitude when other options at less cost could be considered . To both borrow funds and use an unconditional grant such as the Federal tax grant the township receives is simply taking the true cost from one pocket and putting it in the other . When examining the original criteria the government placed on the gas tax grant one item was to create jobs -- the only jobs are temporary construction jobs . Adding this cost or taking from reserves is still monies lost that could be put to other priorities . Some of you did not support this project I thank you for those that did I ask you reconsider your position given that 92% of respondents to the survey disagree with your position.
Cloyne Firehall
It is not appropriate for council to avoid the question and fate of the Cloyne firehall and defer it to your joint township task force . Council needs to take a position with the joint task force that the Cloyne firehall is to remain and give a firm direction that response times and distances must not increase over the current levels in place . It is appropriate to state this as your position . To increase response times or distance is to endanger lives and property from the minimal service we finally have in place . It goes without saying that surely the equipment and rescue truck are maintained up to at least minimum authority recognized standards . Fire fighting and rescue is a part of what you collect taxes for and is your responsibility .
Internet Voting and email communication
Given the overwhelming positive response of 99% of respondents to the survey, there needs to be a plan in place to introduce the option of internet voting and provide regular email communication with voters ( who give you their permission ) . Many cottagers feel current voting and communication leaves us in the dark and voting is very difficult . Anything you can do to improve voter turn out should be instituted .
Hydro Rates
You represent a rural community that is made up of both year round and seasonal residents.Do you have the stats of how many of your residents are behind in the Hydro bills ? There is no reason why seasonal users should not benefit from the recently announced roll back of rates . The current “ delivery charge” billing is totally unfair as is asking homeowners not even using hydro for several months to keep paying for an infrastructure that has been paid for many times over . Even if the County has taken a position on this matter I urge council to draft its own motion and send a strong message on our behalf to Queens Park .
I would be pleased to answer any questions or elaborate on any of my comments or survey results .

Hi Tara I would like to give the Mayor and Council a special invitation to our Lodge event. Instead of sending the usual "card" invitation, I thought that the poster might be appealing. Mayor Higgins knows that he is on the agenda for announcements (probably 2:10 p.m. if all things go smoothly). All Township staff are invited as well. I will get a poster to your building when I get them printed. With thanks, Brenda

From: Elaine Lang Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2017 3:53 PM Subject: Fwd: Canada 150 � Quilt To whom it may concern
The Watkins family have generously donated a lovely quilt that belonged to the late June Watkins to the Plevna Craft Ladies. We the Craft Ladies ask permission to display the quilt in the Clar-Mill Hall, so it can be shared with the community. The quilt features a large loon in the centre and is surrounded with a couple of borders of red maple leaves, so it would be a fitting display for CANADA 150 �. Perhaps, there could even be a public unveiling ceremony. Thank you for your consideration.
Yours sincerely Elaine Lang (on behalf of the Plevna Craft Ladies)
Good Morning – For inclusion in the April 7, 2017 Council Agenda, Communications Package, B Section. The public Works Department has requested that we include the half load restrictions in the Township’s response to Hydro One. (see attached). Thanks Tara

Hi Cheryl
I asked Lori to place the following Notice on our website to advise residents, contractors and visitors about the load restrictions on our roads, effective today.
“North Frontenac’s Public Works Department would like to advise all residents that reduced load restrictions (maximum five (5) tonnes per axle) will be in force on all township roads effective Wednesday March 8th, 2017 to approximately mid-May (weather dependent). If you have further questions, please contact Jim Phillips, P. Eng., Public Works Manager at Ext. 230 or [email protected]”
Lori has already placed the Notice on the website under Latest News and Events. Thanks Lori. Jim Phillips, P.Eng Public Works Manager Township of North Frontenac 6648 Road 506, Plevna, ON, K0H 2M0 1-800-234-3953 or 613-479-2231 Ext. 230 [email protected] Hydro One Networks Inc. Forestry Services

Dear Resident: Switch# Sequence#
Re: Vegetation Maintenance Program
I am writing to inform you that Hydro One Networks Inc. (Hydro One) is scheduled to complete right-of-way vegetation maintenance along the distribution corridor on or adjacent to your property in 2017-2018.
Hydro One regularly monitors the conditions of its distribution corridors and schedules routine vegetation maintenance to identify incompatible vegetation along our rights-of-way, including tree species or brush that can grow tall enough to compromise the safe operation of power. Keeping vegetation a safe distance from power lines is necessary to ensure minimum clearance requirements established by our regulator, provincial agencies, and our utility partners across North America, to prevent tree related outages and for public safety. Maintaining our assets and infrastructure is vital to providing Ontario with the electricity we all depend on.
Hydro One uses an integrated approach to vegetation management and our forestry technicians assess each right-of-way to determine what work is required in the area. The work in your community will include the removal of non-compatible brush as well as pruning branches away from power lines and removing any dead or hazardous trees that have the potential to interfere with the safe and reliable operation of the power line. In areas where there is a higher density of brush, mechanical equipment may be used.
Mechanical cutters or grubbing machines may be used for brush removal depending on terrain and brush density.
To ensure our required clearance until the next vegetation maintenance cycle, Garlon RTU (Registration #29334) may be selectively applied, where deemed necessary, to control the re-growth of vegetation. If the selective application of herbicide is required on your property, you will be notified directly by one of Hydro One’s forestry technicians.
If you have any questions regarding the planned work, please contact me at (613) 403-5552 or by email at [email protected] as soon as possible. If you are a tenant, we ask that you forward this letter to the property owner.
Thank you for your co-operation as we complete this important work.
Sincerely,
Kerry Hinton Area Forestry Technician / Utility Arborist Eastern Zone Forestry Services Zone 3BS / Trenton 613 403 5552

From: Robert Haynes Sent: March 31, 2017 10:48 AM Subject: Canacre
Ladies & Gents,
I trust this email will find you and yours healthy and looking forward to a new summer season.
There is a representative from Canacre who has knocked on an Addington Highlands resident’s door twice in recent weeks and left a business card each time (attached herein). The second time Mr. Washburn left his card, there was a hand-written note on the back stressing the urgency of a face-to-face meeting.
You will recall that Canacre is a third party company engaged by wind/solar proponents to solicit lease agreements with private landowners for turbine/solar farm development. We know that they have represented NextEra in the past, not sure about RES. We also know that their tactics are seedy and borderline unethical.
So it seems the fire may not yet be extinguished, at least in Addington Highlands. We might be wise to update our web site/FaceBook/Twitter accounts with this new information advising all residents to be wary of engaging with this individual or his company and to please to let us know if they are solicited.
Best regards. Bob Haynes ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC KORHONEN, DIRECTOR OF EMERGENCY SERVICES/FIRE CHIEF (DESFC)
RECOMMENDED BY: CHERYL ROBSON, AMCT CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER ______CAO’s Initials
DATE OF MEETING: APRIL 7, 2017
RE: North Frontenac Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Prevention Plan
BACKGROUND
On April 6, 2016 the Ontario Provincial Government passed Bill 163, the Supporting Ontario’s First Responders Act, 2016, to amend the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act (WSIA), 1997, Section 14, and the Ministry of Labour Act with respects to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
• Section 14, Subsection 2 of the WSIA states the section applies to Full- time, Part-time, Volunteer Firefighters, Fire Investigators, Police Officers, Members of an Emergency Response Team, Paramedics, Emergency Medical Attendants, Ambulance Service Managers, Workers in Correctional Institutions, Workers in a place of secure custody or place of secure temporary detention, Workers involved in dispatch. • Under section 14 of the WSIA subsection 3 a worker is entitled to benefits under the insurance plan for PTSD arising out of and in the course of the workers employment, • PTSD is defined under the WSIA as being described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder, 5th Edition, as published by the American Psychiatric Association.
The new Section 14 in the WSIA, 1997 provides that certain workers (listed in subsection 2) who are diagnosed with PTSD are entitled to benefits under the
Administrative Report – DESFC North Frontenac Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Prevention Plan April 7, 2017 Page 1 of 2 Workplace Safety and Insurance Board Insurance Plan as if the PTSD were a personal injury; if certain conditions are met. The amendments to the Act set out procedural and transitional rules governing claims made under the new section.
The bill also amends the Ministry of Labour Act to allow the Minister to collect information from employers relating to the Employers Plan to prevent PTSD arising out of and in the course of employment at the employer’s workplace. The Minister provided direction to certain employers, in the Ontario Gazette, Volume 149, issue 17 to provide information on their workplace PTSD Prevention Plan. These Plans must be submitted by April 23, 2017.

RE: INTERNET OPTIONS FOR THE MUNICIPAL BUILDING
BACKGROUND
November 4th, 2016, Council Res #497-16 stated” “BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council receives for information a letter dated October 14, 2016 from the Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) regarding a potential EORN application for the upcoming Federal Broadband Funding Program; AND THAT Council supports EORN trying to secure more funding for extending fibre services with a proposed connectivity that could deliver 100 Mbps symmetrical services to the Municipal Office (with the potential for a Public Hot Spot in the future); AND THAT Council directs the Treasurer (in consultation with the CAO and input from the County Manager of Information Services) to continue to investigate the best internet option for the Municipality and respond to EORN expressing the Township’s genuine interest in EORN Application for the upcoming Federal Broadband Funding Program. “ Carried.
Also on January 26, 2017 Council passed Res#30-17 as part of the Communications of Interest to Council regarding the 2017 Budget which included a letter from the Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) – Connect to Innovate Program in relation to the EORN Municipal Fiber initiative, advising Municipalities have the ability to apply for funding for high speed internet, as EORN was not moving forward with the original application as presented in November 2016.

David Millard, Manager of Information Services, County of Frontenac Kelly Watkins, Treasurer
COMMENTS
The CAO and I have continued to work with the County of Frontenac Manager of Information Services to investigating all of our options and what will be the best fit for our Municipality. On March 20, 2017 I received a message from David Millard, Manager of Information Services, that he had been speaking with Bell Canada and they believe fiber runs past the municipal office building. Therefore, we could investigate digital subscriber line(DSL) service which uses our current telephone line and/or fiber service. We could move to DSL once a site inspection is completed by Bell Canada.
In November 2016 it was thought that the fiber cable only went as far as Clarendon Central Public School in Plevna. The funding we have been trying to obtain from EORN was to run the fiber from Plevna to the Municipal Building. It is now believed that the fiber already runs past the Municipal Building. To have access to the fiber technology we would be required to run conduit from the pole to the building to allow for the fiber cable to be installed. This conduit could possibly be installed during the Municipal Building Addition, Renovation and Retrofit.
Our immediate solution is to move to DSL Service, which would provide faster upload and download speeds then we currently have. It may then be determined that DSL is all we require and we may not need to incur the additional expense of the fiber cable and service in the future.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Currently we pay Xplornet $95 per month (plus HST) for 5MB download and 1MB upload speed. To change to Bell Canada DSL the cost will be $156 per month (plus HST) and this would provide us with 25MB download and 10MB upload speeds. This would be an increase of approximately $500 above what was approved in the 2017 budget.
There may be some additional cost for the fiber cable to be run from the pole to the Municipal Building but that information will be provided once known and/or required.
RECOMMENDATION
BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council receives the Treasurer’s Administrative Report “Internet Options for the Municipal Building”;
TREASURER’S – ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT INTERNET OPTIONS FOR THE MUNICIPAL BUILDING APRIL 7, 2017 Page 2 of 3 AND THAT Council instructs the Treasurer to work with the County of Frontenac Manager of Information Systems to contact Bell Canada to investigate if we can access the digital subscriber line (DSL) service now with the option to change to Fiber in the future;
AND THAT Council instructs the CAO, to have the required conduit installed from the pole to the Municipal Building during the Addition, Renovation and Retrofit, to allow for the option of fiber in the future;
AND THAT if access is available, Council authorizes the Treasurer to sign a contract with Bell Canada for DSL internet service.

RE: CONTINGENCIES ON PROJECTS
BACKGROUND Council for the Township of North Frontenac at a Council Meeting on November 4, 2016 passed the following Resolution #502-16: “BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council instructs the CAO in consultation with the Managers at the next Managers’ Meeting to discuss contingencies on projects and bring back a recommendation to Council.” Carried
With respect to applying for possible grants for large projects, this can take several months/years from the Application estimates being submitted (usually with a very short turnaround deadline), to receiving the grant approval; then tendering the project; before the actual cost is known and the project commences; which can cause estimates vs. actual differences.
COMMENTS At Managers’ Meetings held on January 19, 2017 and February 22, 2017, Contingencies on Projects were discussed. There is a standard within the industry for different projects. Different for new versus a renovation. Engineering uses percentages based on value of project. The Public Works Manager (PWM) checked into the values within the industry (Rule of Thumb) and he advised some standard forms include a percentage; however, a lot of projects do not show the contingency separately and the contingency is just added into the cost of the project. The contingency is not shown as the contractor may use it if they know it is available. The PWM advised different types of projects have different amounts usually between 5% and 15%.
CAO’s – Administrative Report Contingencies on Projects April 7, 2017 Page 1 of 2 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS In most cases, the Township’s share of a large Provincial/Federal funded project normally comes from the Township’s Tangible Capital Assets (TCA) Reserve Funds. If the estimates used (usually based on an Engineer’s Report) are less than what the actual projected costs when completed at a later date, the additional monies required would be 100% costs for the Township and would have a negative impact on the Township’s TCA Reserve Funds.
RECOMMENDATION BE IT RESOLVED THAT receives the Chief Administrative Officer’s (CAO) Administrative Report entitled “Contingencies on Projects” for information purposes;
AND THAT Council instructs the CAO and Managers to work with the Auditor and/or Engineer when obtaining estimates/information for applying for possible grants to try and ensure the estimates used in the Grant Application takes into consideration the lengthy process and possible cost increases.

RE: INTEGRATED ACCESSIBILITY STANDARDS – DESIGN OF PUBLIC SPACES
BACKGROUND Accessible public spaces include specific features that make it easier for everyone – people with disabilities, seniors and families – to use public spaces. Accessible public spaces include recreational trails, beach areas, outdoor parking spaces, outdoor eating areas and play spaces that people of all abilities can enjoy.
RESEARCH BY Corey Klatt, Manager of Community Development
COMMENTS The mandatory legislative requirements under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005, c.11 Ontario Regulation 191/11 Integrated Accessibility Standards-Design of Public Spaces apply to new construction and the redevelopment of elements in public spaces. Unplanned changes to existing public spaces are not required to meet the Standards. Unplanned changes can include emergency repairs or forced changes that were not anticipated or planned for in advance.
There are several areas that the Integrated Accessibility Standards-Design of Public Spaces encompasses. These include: recreational trails and beach access routes; outdoor public use eating areas; exterior paths of travel; playgrounds; and accessible parking.
Manager of Community Development – Administrative Report Integrated Accessibility Standards – Design of Public Spaces April 7, 2017 Page 1 of 3 Through the Integrated Accessibility Standards-Design of Public Spaces there are now general and technical requirements for new and redeveloped recreational trails and beach access routes. These requirements include consultation (with the Public and the Frontenac County Accessibility Advisory Committee), minimum clear width, clear height, signage and accessible entrances. There are also exceptions in specific situations.
There are now specific requirements for new and redeveloped outdoor eating areas, such as the percentage of accessible picnic tables, ground surfaces and clear space required around eating areas, etc. Furthermore; there are also general requirements for new and redeveloped outdoor play spaces, such as consulting on local needs and accessible design.
There are also now general and technical requirements for new and redeveloped exterior paths of travel and related features, such as ramps, stairs, curb ramps, signage, etc. This is especially applicable to North Frontenac Township when designing pathways at parks, beaches, greenspaces, etc. Moreover there are also general and technical requirements for new and redeveloped off-street accessible parking areas, such as type and number of spaces, access aisles and signage. There is also the requirement of consulting on local need, design and placement of accessible parking spaces.
The Cloyne District Historical Society (CDHS) recently received approval from Council to prepare a pathway, place picnic tables, trees, etc. throughout the property at the Barrie Hall in Cloyne, next to the Pioneer Museum. As a result of the new Standards they are required to design entrances and paths that are sufficient width to meet the Standards. The CDHS will need to purchase accessible picnic tables, purchase signage and ensure any benches to be installed (if any) will be on solid ground that is accessible for all. Moreover the CDHS placed an advertisement in the Frontenac News in order to consult with the public as required re: Accessibility Features within this project. The MCD consulted with the Frontenac County Accessibility Advisory Committee on CDHS’s behalf. This has been a really important learning experience for all involved.
Frequently volunteer groups approach Council requesting permission to upgrade outdoor areas, within the municipality. Per legislation, in the future prior to Council providing approval for such projects the project shall be designed to meet the requirements of the Integrated Accessibility Standards-Design of Public Spaces. Moreover consultation, in regards to Accessibility Standards will need to take place with the Frontenac County Accessibility Advisory Committee (via Fire Chief/Accessibility Coordinator Eric Korhonen) and the Public for each project involving outdoor public spaces (with the exception of back country trails).
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Unknown at this time; depending on each individual project.
Manager of Community Development – Administrative Report Integrated Accessibility Standards – Design of Public Spaces April 7, 2017 Page 2 of 3 RECOMMENDATION BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council receives for information the Manager of Community Development’s Administrative Report entitled “Integrated Accessibility Standards – Design of Public Spaces”;
AND THAT effective immediately any group(s) requesting permission from Council to enhance public spaces within the Township of North Frontenac shall provide a design for the public space that meets the requirements of the Integrated Accessibility Standard – Design of Public Spaces (where required) and the group shall consult with the public and the Frontenac County Accessibility Advisory Committee, in regards to accessibility features within the project.

RE: 2017 Renewal of Lease with the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority for the Palmerston Canonto Conservation Area.
BACKGROUND In January 2017 individuals from the Ompah area approached Council with a potential three phase Palmerston Beach Restoration Project. As a result of this Proposal Council passed Resolution #3-17 that states: “Council approves the Committee working with Councillor Martin and to set-up a presentation with Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) and provide information back to Council”.
During 2017 Budget Deliberations Councillor Martin verbally advised Council that he and the Manager of Community Development (MCD) would meet with MVCA staff to determine whether or not the MVCA would be willing to either enter into a long term lease with the Municipality or transfer the Palmerston Canonto Conservation Authority (PCCA) Beach property to the Municipality. Within these budget discussions it was verbally agreed that it would be important for the municipality to have a long term commitment from MVCA prior to public funds being spent on this area.
On February 16, 2017 Councillor Martin and the MCD met with Paul Lehman, General Manager and Ross Fergusson, Operations Supervisor (MVCA) to discuss a potential long term lease and/or the possibility of the transfer of the PCCA Beach property to the Township. This was a very positive meeting and they felt it may be feasible to look into the transfer of the PCCA Beach property to
Manager of Community Development 2017 Renewal of Lease with the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority for the Palmerston Canonto Conservation Area (PCCA). April 7, 2017 Page 1 of 3 the Township if the land continues to be used for the same purposes as it is now. They advised that in order to begin the process the MVCA would require a letter from the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) and a Council Resolution regarding the Township’s intention of acquiring the property. The MVCA would also require permission from its Board of Directors to transfer the property, as well as permission from the Minister (Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry).
At the February 16th meeting we were advised by MVCA staff that there is currently an issue with the ownership of a portion of the property within the PCCA Beach area. Attached is a scan of the most recent (June 2016) R-Plan that was deposited in the Registry Office by others. The area outlined in blue is what the MVCA believes that it owns (Beach Area) based on their R-Plan completed when they purchased the PCCA. It was registered in 1982. MVCA’s R-Plan included all of the beach area except the area in purple, which is a small amount of Shore Allowance owned by the Township. The majority of the original Shore Allowance has been flooded from the dam. The area in yellow is what the new R-Plan (2016) completed for the adjacent property owner believes he owns. The previous owners of PCCA (Cartwright) had given some of the adjacent cottage lots an interest in the beach area along with their property. The area in green is the area that Teranet has pinned as belonging to the adjacent property owner. The MVCA believes that the adjacent property owner does not own this land in green as it is included in the R-Plan belonging to the MVCA. Over the years the MVCA has had to deal with several properties adjacent to the PCCA for similar issues. Their lawyers are completing title searches, etc… to review this issue. It was suggested that these title issues be finalized before any additional plans are made for the beach property. When this ownership issue is settled there will possibly need to be a new survey completed for the new R-Plan. If MVCA is successful in defending their ownership they will not require a new R-Plan. However, if the decision is made to transfer the beach property to the Township the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) will require a current (less than 10 year old) R-Plan before they will allow the MVCA to dispose of the property. This will require a re-survey of the beach property.
Councillor Martin advised Council at a meeting that he had responded to the Palmerston Beach Restoration Project Team advising them that “the renewal of the MVCA Lease Agreement will be on the April 7th Council Agenda. The title search has not yet been completed (by MVCA) and until ownership of the property is determined Council cannot approve work on the lot. There is a possibility the property is actually owned by a third party.”

Re: Private Recreation Camp on Municipal Shore Road Allowance – Govan Lake – Part of Lot 28, Concession 10 geographic Township of South Canonto
BACKGROUND The Township received a letter dated February 23, 2017 from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry advising that during their review of a Land Use Permit issued for a Private Recreation Camp it came to their attention that the site of the Private Recreational Camp is on the Shore Road Allowance (Attachment #1).

On March 14, 2017 Matt Morris contacted the Municipal office to discuss the letter received by him as the Land Use Permit Holder and copied to the Township. I advised him in order for the Private Recreation Camp to be permitted on Township property he would need to request permission from Council. I requested he send a letter to Council with his request and include some history of the building (i.e. year built, setback from the lake, size of the building, etc.) and the intended future use of the building.

Re: Docks on Township owned Shore Road Allowances
BACKGROUND The Clerk’s Department has received several requests to construct structures (including docks) on a Shore Road Allowance which is in the ownership of the Township. Currently the Township does not permit the construction of permanent structures on a Township owned Shore Road Allowance. However; in the past verbally (no written policies in place) property owners have been allowed to place a post dock on the Township owned Shore Road Allowance as is it a temporary structure provided they are the adjacent property owner.
It is not recommended that docks existing prior to the new policies, if applicable, be addressed.
COMMENTS The Zoning By-law sets out the requirements for docks, per Section 5.6.3 (i) “The type of docks shall generally be limited to floating, cantilevered or post dock construction. Other types of docks may be permitted where it is demonstrated that they will not have a negative impact on fish habitat. Docks shall be built of non-toxic building materials. The shoreline below the high water mark shall not be permanently altered through the construction of shoreline structures except to accommodate the placement or use of docks as approved by the authority having jurisdiction. No dock shall exceed 2.4 m (7.84 ft.) in width or 10 m (32.8 ft.) in length. Despite these dimensions, no dock or wharf shall be constructed which constitutes a navigation or safety hazard.” Also, per Section 4.1.1 g) “… provided that the boat house, boat port, float plane hangar, dock or wharf is located not closer than 3 m (9.8 ft.) to the nearest adjacent lot line and does not encroach on adjacent frontage when the lot boundaries are extended into the water.”
______Clerk/Planning Manager – Administrative Report Docks on Township owned Shore Road Allowances April 7, 2017 Page 1 of 4 Lot lines are not established until the Shore Road Allowance is surveyed (usually in the case of the property being sold). It is recommended if Council agrees to permit post docks on Township owned Shore Road Allowances that have not been surveyed that the property lines be considered to extend from the property lines of the adjacent property into the lake to establish the setbacks per Section 4.1.1 g) of the Zoning By-law.
Council passed By-law #73-15 being a Policy for the construction and maintenance of docks on Township of North Frontenac property including Lot/Concession/Reserve/Forced Road Allowance. Per Section 1, Definitions – “Road Allowance means a Lot/Concession/Reserve/Forced Road Allowance owned by the Township and does not include a Shore Road Allowance lying between a resident’s property and the high water mark of the lake or river.” Based on this definition this policy does not apply to docks on a Township owned Shore Road Allowance. It is recommended Council adopt a Policy with respect to docks being permitted on Township owned Shore Road Allowances. Council has several options; a few are listed below.
Option #1 To permit the installation of a post dock on a Township owned Shore Road Allowance without a Licence Agreement. If Council chooses this option it is recommended the current Policy be amended to include Township owned Shore Road Allowances. It should be clear that only the property owner of the adjacent lands is permitted to construct a dock on the Township owned Shore Road Allowance. The Policy should also set out the requirements for the construction of the post dock including: • the dock shall comply with the requirements of the Zoning By-law including size, setbacks, etc. • the property owner is required to contact the Conservation Authority and/or Ministry of Natural Resources and/or the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to see if approval and/or a permit is required. • the property owner will be waiving, releasing and discharging the Township of North Frontenac of and from all claims, actions, causes of actions and damages for death, personal injury or damage to property arising out of the use of, the Shore Road Allowance.
If Council chooses this option, it is recommended when property owners inquire about the construction of a post dock on the Township owned Shore Road Allowance that a copy of the amended Policy be provided by the Clerk/Planning Department or Building Department to the property owner.
A concern with his option is the Municipal Solicitor has advised on many occasions, in order to limit exposure to liability, he recommends the Township enter into a Licence Agreement with Residents/Corporations, including a clause to provide adequate insurance for the use of Township owned property.
Option #2 To permit the installation of a post dock on a Township owned Shore Road Allowance subject to a Licence Agreement. If Council chooses this option it is
______Clerk/Planning Manager – Administrative Report Docks on Township owned Shore Road Allowances April 7, 2017 Page 2 of 4 recommended the current Policy be amended to include Township owned Shore Road Allowances and the provisions of the Policy as set out for Lot/Concession/Reserve/Forced Road Allowance will apply to Township owned Shore Road Allowances as well.
A concern with this option is the number of Licence Agreements that would need to be issued including the impact on Township staff to prepare, monitor and renew these Licence Agreements. When we receive a standard request it takes the Clerk’s Department approximately 3 hours to meet with the resident, prepare the report to Council and draft the Agreement. Currently the Township has 7 active Licence Agreements. It takes the Clerk’s Department approximately 1-2 hours and the Treasury Department approximately an hour to maintain the files annually (insurance and payments).
Option #3 To prohibit the installation of a dock on Township owned Shore Road Allowances. In this case the property owner would be required to purchase the property prior to being permitted to place a dock on the Township owned Shore Road Allowance.
A concern with this option is the process to purchase the Shore Road Allowance is moderately lengthy and costly. In some cases, the Shore Road Allowance cannot be purchased and this would prevent the property owner from being permitted to have a dock (i.e. property line cannot be agreed on by the adjacent property owners; Shore Road Allowance cannot merge with the Resident’s property because there is a Township Road in between; etc.). In these rare circumstances where the Shore Road Allowance cannot be purchased Council may want to consider a Licence Agreement to permit a dock on the Shore Road Allowance. These would be specific cases and should be addressed by Council on an individual case basis.
RESEARCH BY Tara Mieske, Clerk/Planning Manager Brooke Hawley, Deputy Clerk/Assistant to the Planning Manager
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Option #1 No additional costs as staff are already responding to these inquiries.
Option #2 Currently when a property owner enters into a Licence Agreement they are required to pay an annual fee for the use of Township property. There will be a staff impact to prepare, monitor and renew the Licence Agreements.
The current annual fee in the License Agreements range from $10 to $50. These annual fees currently do not cover the administrative costs to maintain the files. We may want to consider increasing the annual fee. We may also want to consider an administrative fee when a request is submitted to meet with the resident, prepare the report to Council and draft the Agreement.
______Clerk/Planning Manager – Administrative Report Docks on Township owned Shore Road Allowances April 7, 2017 Page 3 of 4 Option #3 In the rare cases where a Licence Agreement is required there will be the same financial impacts as Option #2 on a smaller scale.

DATE OF MEETING: APRIL 7, 2017
RE: PLANNING SHARED SERVICES AGREEMENT
BACKGROUND Council passed By-law 29-14 on April 7, 2014 to enter into an Agreement with the County of Frontenac to provide certain Planning Services to North Frontenac Township. The term of this Agreement was to commence on May 1, 2014 and to continue for a period of one year ending April 30, 2015.
Council passed By-law 40-15 on April 27, 2015 to extend the Agreement with the same terms, with the exception of a change to Appendix B to reflect the changes to the fee for the Director of Planning and Economic Development being $63.80 and the Community Planner being $39.10. This Agreement is to expire April 30, 2017.
RESEARCHED BY Tara Mieske, Clerk/Planning Manager Brooke Hawley, Deputy Clerk/Assistant to the Planning Manager
COMMENTS The letter dated April 17, 2015 from Kelly J. Pender, CAO for the County of Frontenac, previously provided to Council in 2015, states that “I would note that the termination clause in the North Frontenac Agreement (Article 4) differs from the other two in that it indicates an expiry date of April 30/15 with no automatic renewal. All other conditions will continue to be honoured by the County of Frontenac for as long as North Frontenac wishes to continue to receive planning services though the County.” (Attachment #1).
The Director of Planning and Economic Development advised unless the Township wishes to change the terms of the original contract, no further action is required, including any need for County Council approval.
CLERK/PLANNING MANAGER – ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT PLANNING SHARED SERVICES AGREEMENT APRIL 7, 2017 PAGE 1 of 2 Municipal planning services fees for the preparation of all planning reports associated with a private application are as set out in the County By-law 2016-0002 – To Impose User Fees and Charges for Services: • Director of Planning and Economic Development $74.00/hour • Community Planner $40.00/hour
If Council does not approve an extension of the County Planning Agreement the Township will be required to hire a qualified Planner/Consultant.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS There will not be any financial implications for the Township as there is no charge for Pre-consultations or Inquiries from Township Staff or the Public; Attendance at Township Office; Township Initiated Planning Applications; GIS Mapping Services, or Attendance at Council/Committee Meetings. Major Planning Policy work are included in Township Initiated Planning Applications including the Official Plan preparation/update and Comprehensive Zoning By-law preparation.
If the Township is subject to an Ontario Municipal Board Hearing a separate proposal is required under the Agreement or if the County is preparing an estimate for additional services the increased fees would apply.
There will be an increase in the fees applied to Privately Initiated Planning Applications due to the increase from $63.80 to $70.00 per hour for the Director of Planning and Economic Development and the increase from $39.10 to $40.00 per hour for the Community Planner. These fees are covered by the Application fees submitted with the Application. Planning staff review the cost to process an Application annually to ensure the Application fee continues to cover the costs. The Township also requires Applicants to enter into an Indemnity Agreement to cover additional/unexpected costs (i.e. legal, planning fees, etc.).
RECOMMENDATIONS WHEREAS Council passed By-law 29-14 to enter into an Agreement with the County of Frontenac for Planning Shared Services, expiring April 30, 2015;
AND WHEREAS Council passed By-law 40-15 to extend the Agreement for a period of two years, expiring April 30, 2017;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council receives for information the Clerk/Planning Manager’s Administrative Report entitled “Planning Shared Services Agreement”;
AND THAT Council will consider a By-law under Section 14 of the Council Agenda to sign a two year extension to the Planning Shared Services Agreement.

The MCD will have the murals installed at the Community Centres shortly after the celebration takes place in Ompah (within the next week or two after the celebration). Darwyn Sproule contacted the Ompah Community Volunteers, the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance, the Ottawa Valley ATV Club, Hydro One, and the Frontenac Community Futures Development Corporation to invite them to the event as well, as they all contributed funding to the development of the Scenic Route Rest Area.

It may be feasible to attach the Fire Index sign on the existing sign post; however this will be discussed with the Fire Chief. As previously discussed one of the Information Boards from the Star Gazing Pad will be removed from the Star Gazing Pad and erected at the Scenic Route Rest Area in the spring by the Facilities/Recreation Supervisor, as both Information Boards that are currently at the Star Gazing Pad are not being utilized. d) Update re: Ontario Federation of ATV Clubs AGM in North Frontenac Township.- Darwyn Sproule.
