The Reeve indicated that the meeting was held by Council under Section 34 of the Planning Act to consider a proposed amendment to By-law 2038 the zoning by-law for the Municipality of Shuniah.
The Reeve stated that Council has a legal responsibility to deliver fair and unbiased consideration to all matters that are brought to its attention. Council members cannot enter into discussion and/or debate as long as the formal public meeting is in session.
The Clerk confirmed that notice of the public meeting was posted at the location of the subject lands and at the Municipal OffiCe and the purpose of this zoning amendment is to rezone property from Rural to Aggregate Extraction and Processing and further be classified as a Holding Zone with an addition of an Holding Symbol until such time an access agreement is reached. She confirmed that the proposed amendment is site specific and applies only to the lands subject of this application.
13 of 54 The Reeve asked members of the audience if anyone wished to speak in favour of the proposed amendment.
Stefan Huzan Northern Planning- Land Planner for the applicant Mr. Huzan gave a brief history of the use of the applicant's land and he indicated that it was used as a gravel pit but it was not grandfathered under the Aggregate Resources Act. Mr. Huzan gave his planning considerations indicating that the zoning upholds and conforms both to the Provincial Policy Statement and the current and proposed OffiCial Plan. He indicated that they would be using MacGregor Rd. as the entrance.
Council asked if there was another way to get to the subject land rather than through private lands to the south of the proposed pit.
Mr. Huzan indicated that there is another road to use.
The Reeve asked if anyone else wished to speak in favour of the proposed zoning.
Mark Mrakic the application spoke to Council and wished to clarify that if there is no agreement for him to cross Phytilla's property then there must not be one for Phytillas to cross Mrakics' property.
The Reeve asked if anyone else wished to speak in favour of the proposed zoning. Hearing none she asked if anyone was present to speak in opposition to the proposed Zoning amendment.
Mr. Don Manahan- Manahan Consulting representing Mr. G Phytilla. Mr. Manahan indicated that the owner of the abutting lands has a hunting cabin which is actively used.
He indicated that his client does not object to the pit itself but concerned about the road in front of her cabin being used.
He indicated that a one time agreement was granted to Mrakic to use for timber harvesting but it was not permanent.
If the zoning were granted the road would become an aggregate haul road for gravel vehicles and she does not want her road to be used for commercial use.
Mr. Manahan indicated that blasting is a safety concern. He would like the setback to be 500 m from the property line which he thinks is reasonable.
The Reeve asked if anyone was present to speak in opposition to the proposed Zoning amendment.
Holly Phytilla discussed the use of their property to the north of the subject land and she indicated that they too use it for recreational purposes and her parents use it regularly. She indicated that the proposed pit is quite close to their cabin. The provincial setback of 60 m seems too close.
She indicated that there is potential to be very large and significant blasting. Very concerned about safety and that it was likely that they would not hear the blast whistle. She indicated that the blasting and noise would change the rural nature of the property.
Lea Savela discussed with Council that she had been using this property since 1963. She is concerned about her access and the maintenance of the road to her place if gravel trucks were using it.
The Reeve asked if anyone was present to speak in opposition to the proposed Zoning amendment hearing none the meeting adjourned.

The Lakehead Region Conservation Authority (LRCA) is pleased to present you with a copy of our 20 14 Annual Report.
The Report highlights the many water and land management programs and services that the LRCA offers to the public. The 2014 Financial Summary outlines how funds are secured for the various areas of program delivery. The LRCA also celebrated its 60th Anniversary in 2014, having been established in 1954 as the N eebing Valley Conservation Authority and then through expansion becoming the Lakehead Region Conservation Authority in 1963.
Our network of conservation lands offers benefits in headwaters protection, recharge-discharge, flood attenuation, erosion control and other aspects of watershed management. The lands contribute to the quality oflife in our watershed municipalities. Over 100,000 visitors annually use the LRCA's lands for recreational and educational activities, and we hope to see that number rise with the newly implemented environmental education initiatives.
I hope you enjoy reading the attached copy of our 2014 Annual Report and find it informative. Our website, www.lakeheadca.com, contains extensive information about the LRCA's programs and Conservation Areas.

SUBJECT: Rezoning Application Clover Beach Ltd
TO: Mayor and Council Cc: Paul Greenwood Acting CAO
MEETING Date: February 9, 2015
Recommendations: That the matter related to the Zoning request to allow for 9 accessory garages to be built on the residual back lands from Clover Beach Association be deferred until such time the Municipality receives a complete Servicing Options Study for that area.
Background: Mr. Doug LeBlanc representing Clover Beach Association has submitted a request for Council to consider zoning a section of the Association's land which is separated by the CNR tracks to allow for approximately 9 accessory garages to be constructed on sites which they have surveyed. The land is considered one parcel of land under the Planning Act. The current zone states;
ASSOCIATION LOTS SEPARATED BY RAILWAY TRACKS
16.4.1.7 Where parking is provided on lands separated from an individual association lot by railway tracks, a temporary parking shelter shall be permitted, but not a permanent garage, shed or other such building.
Mr. LeBlanc has further provided some suggestions in which he identifies as mitigating any concerns related to the structure size, height and setbacks. He also goes on to say that the association will not allow any variances to these structures. Mr. LeBlanc has pre determined the structure size based on a lot coverage of 10%. Findings:
Council directed me to contact the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing to discuss this from a planning and policy perspective. Several questions were raised in my discussion with Ministry Staff.
Firstly the anomaly of the association and the way these lands have been developed outside the standards and regulations of the Planning Act. They are not held in
Page I of2 23 of 54 individual freehold tenure making therefore making this a more difficult situation to deal with.
Another question raised was that of density. This area appears to have reached a saturation point with respect to development along the water. Although these proposed sites are not on the water they may be useful for future expansion requirements for water and sewer. If the land on the water becomes unstable and can no longer sustain itself those residual areas may become necessary to facilitate services.
Another concern was that of eventual morphing of these accessory structures into 2"d units. It becomes difficult to regulate once permanent ancillary structures are built. We have seen this in other areas and it would be prudent if Council chooses to proceed with the zoning amendment to put in place some measures to mitigate this type of transformation. Along with the current restrictions (no cooking or sanitary facilities) a further height and size restriction and possibly structural features such as mandatory garage doors, no interior walls or loft areas. The possibility of no windows or other such features required for human habitation could also be considered.
The intensification of this area with structures of varying sizes, colours and finishes within a relatively small area can have an added aesthetic feature which may not be embraced by everyone. Understandably new development often elicits the "not in my back yard "mentality, however Council may want to consider the potential negative aesthetic effects for area residents.
Council may also want to consider what effects that these policy changes may have on future applications. This would be considered a significant policy change and could have implications on the other associations and landowners who also own vacant independent parcels.

The development of a reporting framework and supporting infrastructure will allow consistency and standardization in OPP public reporting. It also aligns to the methodology used in the OPP Annual Report and Detachment Action Plans. It was the organization's intention to implement this reporting framework to coincide with the municipal elections in the fall of2014. Changes to the reporting infrastructure between the OPP and the Ministry of Transportation are ongoing. This has, in tum, affected our traffic data source and the reporting framework. Other enhancements are being made concurrently in our reporting of the Integrated Court Offences Network (ICON) which track our Criminal Code, Provincial Statute 'charges laid' information. Once these enhancements and changes are complete, the PSB Reporting tool will be available to Detachment Commanders. Initial rollout shall be no later than April2015. We will be seeking input and feedback at this point. The tool will be fully operational by October of this year. It is our hope that these reports will be a more effective and less complex way to provide information on public safety trends in the communities we police. This will better inform our respective community-level decisions and billing information. Through our Detachment Commanders, I look forward to hearing your feedback once this new report is available.

As a result, the corporation has dramatically hiked postage rates and is planning on eliminating door-to-door delivery, closing and downsizing post offices, reducing post office hours, and destroying thousands of decent jobs in communities throughout our country. These major changes will be bad for seniors, people with mobility issues, charities, small businesses and many other people who rely on public postal service. The Canadian Union ofPostal Workers wants the federal government to reverse the Canada Post plan, and to look instead for ways to increase service and revenues in areas like postal banking, as other postal administrations have done. At the very least, we think the government should properly consult with the public about what kind of postal service they need before allowing Canada Post to make such major changes. CUPW has attached a fact sheet with more information about Canada Post's plan. The union has also attached a resolution that it would like your municipality to consider passing. To date, over 400 municipalities and municipal organizations have passed resolutions opposing Canada Post plan for cuts, or calling for a halt to door-to-door delivery cuts until there is proper consultation. CUPW hopes you will think about joining and building on these efforts by passing our or your own resolution. Thank you very much for considering this request. Thanks as well if your municipality passed an earlier resolution in support of postal banking or improving the Canadian Postal Service Charter. If you would like an electronic version of the resolution, please contact Brigitte Klassen at [email protected]. Please call me at 613-236-7238 if you have any questions or concerns.

WHEREAS Canada Post offers a public service that needs to be protected; BE IT RESOLVED THAT the (name of municipality) write a letter to the Minister responsible for Canada Post that calls on the government to reverse the changes to services announced by Canada Post, and to look instead for ways to increase service and revenues in areas such as postal banking. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT (name of municipality) ask the Federation of Canadian Municipalities to request that the federal government consult with the public about what kind of postal service they need before allowing Canada Post to make such major changes to public postal service.
