Report No: PW 2021-25 PUBLIC WORKS Council Date: June 23, 2021

To: Warden and Members of County Council

From: Director of Public Works

Community Safety Zone Criteria and Warrant Process

RECOMMENDATION

1. That Oxford County Council authorize the proposed Community Safety Zone criteria and warrant process to assess a possible future County-wide implementation plan as outlined in Report No. PW 2021-25, entitled “Community Safety Zone Criteria and Warrant Process”.

REPORT HIGHLIGHTS

 The purpose of this report is to seek County Council authorization of the proposed Community Safety Zone (CSZ) criteria and warrant process developed by staff for future County-wide implementation.

 CSZs, combined with the use of Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE), has been identified as a potential traffic-calming measure on County roads that extend through communities and settlement areas as part of previous speed management and road safety undertakings.

 CSZ designations are intended for parts of the roadway where public safety is of a special concern and allow for increased monetary penalties for speeding infractions within these zones.

 Documented evidence from traffic data analysis will support prioritization and implementation of CSZs and will further inform site selection criteria for the potential implementation of a County-wide ASE program.

Implementation Points

If approved by County Council, the proposed County-wide CSZ criteria and warrant process will be utilized to further evaluate designated areas for potential implementation of CSZs as part of future budgets and operational work plans.

The findings and recommendations from this CSZ evaluation will be presented to County Council for further consideration and enactment of applicable by-law amendments.

Page 1 of 7 Report No: PW 2021-25 PUBLIC WORKS Council Date: June 23, 2021

Financial Impact

The recommendation contained in this report will not have an impact on the 2021 Budget.

Financial and staffing/third party resources to undertake CSZ evaluation will be considered as part of the 2022 Operational budget submission. Implementation plans that will result from the evaluation will be considered in future business plans and budgets.

Communications

The proposed CSZ criteria and warrant process was reviewed with Area Municipality staff on May 6, 2021 and there were no concerns with the proposed approach identified.

Report No. PW 2021-25 will be circulated to Area Municipalities, Ontario Provincial Police and Woodstock Police Services, local school boards and hospitals.

CSZ evaluation and potential implementation will be undertaken in consultation with Area Municipalities and Police. Public Works will work with the Communications team to develop a public education campaign and appropriate communications for each municipality as CSZs are implemented.

DISCUSSION

Background

As part of County-wide speed management, traffic calming and road safety initiatives, CSZ implementation across the County road network combined with the use of ASE has been identified as potential traffic calming and road safety measures for future implementation.

The Ontario Highway Traffic Act (HTA) permits the use of ASE in school zones and CSZs and gives authority to municipal Councils to designate a part of a highway as a CSZ where public safety is of a special concern. The HTA also allows for increased monetary penalties for speeding infractions within CSZs in order to promote deterrence of speeding behaviour.

Page 2 of 7 Report No: PW 2021-25 PUBLIC WORKS Council Date: June 23, 2021

CSZs must be designated by a municipal by-law in order to be enforceable and must identify the specific zone limits and time periods (times/days/months) when increased penalties are in effect. The designation of the entire length of a particular roadway (versus shorter defined road segments) is generally not an intended application of the CSZ concept. Furthermore, public safety risks must be evident for the part of the roadway segment selected as a CSZ.

Historically, the County has implemented CSZ designations on Oxford Road 119 through Kintore and on Oxford Road 12 through Sweaburg. These two locations were designated as CSZs in May 2000 for a one year trial period through By-law No. 4015-2000. There are no records of any data collection during the one-year trial period and/or subsequent reports; however, the CSZ regulatory signage has remained in place. No further CSZ designations have been implemented on County roads since that time.

Comments

To support the designation of CSZs across the County road network, staff has prepared CSZ guideline criteria and a warrant process for Council’s authorization. The intent of adopting County-wide CSZ implementation criteria is to identify areas, supported by documented evidence, where public safety is of a special concern.

Implementation of CSZs in areas of special concern and where safety risks are evident through traffic data analysis will also inform site selection criteria for development of a potential County- wide ASE program.

Community Safety Zone (CSZ) Criteria and Warrant Process

The following proposed CSZ criteria and warrant process is based on two major components and was developed from similar CSZ municipal policies adopted by the Region of York and the Region of Durham.

The first component identifies areas for special consideration (Warrant 1) and the second component considers road safety (Warrant 2). Only areas within the County road network that meet both warrants will be considered for CSZ designation.

Warrant 1: Designated Areas of Special Consideration

CSZs must only be implemented at locations of special concern and that are obvious to the road user. CSZs shall only be considered at the following locations where posted speeds are 70km/hr or less and be a minimum length of 500 m:

 Elementary or Secondary Schools (including those with identified official school zones),  Community centres, recreation areas, playgrounds, hospitals,  High pedestrian traffic locations (100 pedestrians/hr in any 8 hour period), and/or  Senior centres/residences.

Designated areas for special consideration (Warrant 1) must be satisfied before continuing onto the second component (Warrant 2).

Page 3 of 7 Report No: PW 2021-25 PUBLIC WORKS Council Date: June 23, 2021

Warrant 2: Road Safety

The road safety warrant is comprised of a collision component and a risk component, either of which must be satisfied to meet Warrant 2.

 Collison Component: o Collision ratio < 1:900 (collisions/year : Average Annual Daily Traffic) averaged over 3 recent years OR  Road Safety Component: o Road safety risk factor will be determined based on the following scoring matrix shown in Table 1. o Designated areas of special concern identified in Warrant 1 with a safety risk scoring of 15 or greater will meet the road safety component of Warrant 2.

CSZ Implementation Guidelines

In addition to identifying parts of roadways where public safety is of special concern, other guidelines for CSZ implementation are provided in the Ontario Traffic Manual (OTM) to ensure regulatory compliance and effective enforcement.

The limits (length) of a CSZ is not a legislative requirement; however, a zone that is too long can result in enforcement not being appropriately targeted. Additionally, if the zone is too short, it may not be clear whether a driver has committed an offence within the zone. The zone length will also determine the location and quantity of regulatory signage required to delineate CSZ limits.

A minimum zone length of 500 m has been specified in the above-proposed CSZ criteria and warrant process. It is anticipated that in most cases, maximum CSZ limits will range from 1.5 to 2.0 km based on typical lengths of reduced speed zone limits in many of the rural communities.

The number and locations of CSZs will be critical to successful enforcement. Policing resources and verification that enforcement can be undertaken safely without undue risk to either motorists or Officers must be considered and can be validated through ongoing collaboration with Police Services. Traditional enforcement activities can potentially be supported with the permitted use of ASE in CSZs.

Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE)

County Council was provided with a status update of the ASE program in Ontario in Report No. PW 2020-19 following the passing of the ASE regulatory framework in December 2019.

At that time, development of a County-wide ASE program was deferred due to some uncertainty with respect to legislative policy, viability and cost benefit of ASE. Staff expected to gain a better understanding of the effectiveness and feasibility of ASE following the Parliamentary 180- day review of ASE implementation by the City of Toronto and City of Ottawa who had initiated the program.

The Parliamentary 180-day review of the ASE program that was anticipated for August 2020 was subsequently postponed indefinitely as result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, some additional municipalities (City of London, Region of Waterloo, City of Hamilton) have since proceeded with initiation of municipal ASE programs.

The 2021 Public Works Business Plan and Budget includes a goal and objective for the development of a potential County-wide ASE program for Council’s consideration with the intent of evaluating the viability and cost benefit of ASE implementation and potential inclusion in the 2022 Operations budget.

Establishing CSZs will be an integral component of developing a County-wide ASE program by prioritizing areas of special safety concern that can be effectively enforced utilizing ASE. As a result, ASE program development is expected to extend into 2022 for potential implementation in 2023.

Page 5 of 7 Report No: PW 2021-25 PUBLIC WORKS Council Date: June 23, 2021

CSZ Evaluation and Implementation

If endorsed by County Council, the CSZ criteria and warrant process will first be applied by staff across the County road network to areas for special consideration (Warrant 1).

Warrant 2 analyses will then be prioritized based on areas within the County road network that have previously undergone a speed management and road safety review and where ASE/CSZ has been identified as a potential traffic-calming measure for future implementation. As noted, the road safety analyses as part of the second warrant will involve review of collision and other traffic data (pedestrian and traffic volume, operating speeds, road characteristics). Much of the traffic data is readily available; however, additional data collection may be required in specific locations.

Areas that were previously identified as potential ASE locations (Report No. PW 2019-37) will also be evaluated using the proposed CSZ criteria and warrant process. Designated areas of special consideration (Warrant 1) will be further evaluated using the road safety component of the warrant process (Warrant 2).

It is recognized that CSZ evaluation will be a significant undertaking and is expected to be part of the future work plans in conjunction with the potential development of a County-wide ASE program. Required financial and staffing/third party resources for this work will be considered as part of 2022 budget preparations.

The findings and recommendations of the CSZ evaluation will be presented to Council for further consideration and subsequent by-law amendments.

Page 6 of 7 Report No: PW 2021-25 PUBLIC WORKS Council Date: June 23, 2021

Conclusions

CSZ designations are expected to promote traffic calming and act as a speed deterrent to drivers when faced with the possibility of increased monetary penalties for speeding infractions within these zones. Utilization of ASE and traditional enforcement will also be key to the effectiveness of CSZs.

Adoption of County-wide CSZ criteria will provide documented evidence of areas of a special safety concern and will serve as a consistent approach that follows engineering best practices and guidelines to ensure regulatory compliance.

TOWNSHIP OF BLANDFORD-BLENHEIM ZONING BY-LAW NO. 1360-2002:

Existing Zoning: Special Development Zone (D-4) General Industrial Zone (MG) Residential Type 1 Zone (R1) Special Residential Type 1 (R1-6)

Proposed Zoning: Special General Industrial Zone (MG-3)

PROPOSAL:

Currently, the site at 2 Railway Street East contains an existing rail transfer facility, which includes a warehouse building, six (6) silos, a truck scale, and a spur line. The site at 36 Railway Street East is currently vacant and is graveled. The site at 40 Railway Street East currently contains a single detached dwelling. The property currently zoned ‘Special Development Zone (D-4)’ and located on the east side of Railway Street, north of 48 Railway Street East, is currently vacant and does not have a municipal address.

For Council’s information, the original proposal submitted in 2019 proposed to consolidate the four (4) properties into one (1) property and for lands to be rezoned to ‘Special General Industrial Zone (MG-3).’ The purpose of this was to permit the expansion of the existing rail transfer facility, including four (4) new silos, a new truck scale, new spur lines, and the conversion of the existing single detached dwelling at 40 Railway Street East.

Since that time, the applicant has reconsidered their needs on-site and have revised the proposal. The current proposal no longer proposes the four (4) new silos and new truck scale. The current proposal, however, continues to propose to consolidate the four (4) properties into one (1) property, rezone the lands to ‘Special General Industrial Zone (MG-3),’ construct new spur lines, and the conversion of the existing single detached dwelling to an office at 40 Railway Street East.

As part of the proposal, a 5.5 m (18 ft) high noise barrier is proposed along 85 m (278.9 ft) of the north side of Railway Street East. To improve on-site truck circulation, a second access point along the north side of Railway Street East is proposed. Trucks would enter the proposed access located just before the bend in Railway Street East while the trucks would then exit the access point located closer to the intersection of Main Street North and Railway Street East.

The subject lands are located adjacent to the Canadian National Railway (CN Rail) corridor, which abuts the north property line of the lands. The subject lands are located on the north and east sides of Railway Street East. To the south and west of Railway Street East are single detached dwellings. A commercial business (Princeton Variety) is located on the southeast corner of Main Street North and Railway Street East.

PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT

The 2020 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development. Under Section 3 of the Planning Act, where a municipality is exercising its authority affecting a planning matter, such decisions “shall be consistent with” all policy statements issued under the Act.

Section 1.1.1 states that healthy, liveable and safe communities are sustained by: a) promoting efficient development and land use patterns which sustain the financial well- being of the Province and municipalities over the long term; b) accommodating an appropriate affordable and market-based range and mix of residential types (including single-detached, additional residential units, multi-unit housing, affordable housing and housing for older persons), employment (including industrial and commercial), institutional (including places of worship, cemeteries and long-term care homes), recreation, park and open space, and other uses to meet long-term needs; c) avoiding development and land use patterns which may cause environmental or public health and safety concerns; d) avoiding development and land use patterns that would prevent the efficient expansion of settlement areas in those areas which are adjacent or close to settlement areas; e) promoting the integration of land use planning, growth management, transit-supportive development, intensification and infrastructure planning to achieve cost-effective development patterns, optimization of transit investments, and standards to minimize land consumption and servicing costs; f) improving accessibility for persons with disabilities and older persons by addressing land use barriers which restrict their full participation in society; g) ensuring that necessary infrastructure and public service facilities are or will be available to meet current and projected needs; h) promoting development and land use patterns that conserve biodiversity; and i) preparing for the regional and local impacts of a changing climate.

Section 1.1.3.2 directs that land use patterns within settlement areas shall be based on densities and a mix of land uses which: a) efficiently use land and resources; b) are appropriate for, and efficiently use, the infrastructure and public service facilities which are planned or available, and avoid the need for their unjustified and/or uneconomical expansion; c) minimize negative impacts to air quality and climate change, and promote energy efficiency; d) prepare for the impacts of a changing climate; e) support active transportation; f) are transit-supportive, where transit is planned, exists or may be developed; and g) are freight-supportive.

Report No: CP 2021-215 COMMUNITY PLANNING Council Date: July 7, 2021

Section 1.3.1 states that planning authorities shall promote economic development and competitiveness by: • providing for an appropriate mix and range of employment, institutional, and broader mixed uses to meet long-term needs; • providing opportunities for a diversified economic base, including maintaining a range and choice of suitable sites for employment uses which support a wide range of economic activities and ancillary uses, and take into account the needs of existing and future businesses; facilitating the conditions for economic investment by identifying strategic sites for investment, monitoring the availability and suitability of employment sites, including market-ready sites, and seeking to address potential barriers to investment; • encouraging compact, mixed-use development that incorporates compatible employment uses to support liveable and resilient communities, with consideration of housing policy 1.4; and • ensuring the necessary infrastructure is provided to support current and projected needs.

Section 1.7.1 directs that long-term economic prosperity should be supported by: • promoting opportunities for economic development and community investment-readiness; • encouraging residential uses to respond to dynamic market-based needs and provide necessary housing supply and range of housing options for a diverse workforce; • optimizing the long-term availability and use of land, resources, infrastructure and public service facilities; • maintaining and, where possible, enhancing the vitality and viability of downtowns and mainstreets; • promoting the redevelopment of brownfield sites; • providing for an efficient, cost-effective, reliable multimodal transportation system that is integrated with adjacent systems and those of other jurisdictions, and is appropriate to address projected needs to support the movement of goods and people; • sustaining and enhancing the viability of the agricultural system through protecting agricultural resources, minimizing land use conflicts, providing opportunities to support local food, and maintaining and improving the agrifood network; • promoting energy conservation and providing opportunities for increased energy supply; • minimizing negative impacts from a changing climate and considering the ecological benefits provided by nature; and • encouraging efficient and coordinated communications and telecommunications infrastructure.

OFFICIAL PLAN

The subject property is located within Princeton, which is a designated ‘Village’ within the County Official Plan. The Official Plan identifies Villages as settlements characterized by a broader range of land uses and activities and which have been developed in depth as well as through infilling. Villages are settlements which are predominantly serviced by individual private sewage disposal systems and by either individual wells or existing centralized water supply facilities. Princeton is serviced by municipal water, however, private septic systems are required.

Pursuant to Section 2.1.6, efficient use shall be made of existing and planned transportation infrastructure. Freight-intensive land uses will be focused in areas well served by major highways, airports, and rail facilities.

Page 4 of 8

Report No: CP 2021-215 COMMUNITY PLANNING Council Date: July 7, 2021

Section 6.4 outlines that permitted industrial uses within Villages and Serviced Villages will primarily consist of: assembling, manufacturing, fabricating, processing, repair activities, environmental industries, wholesaling, storage and warehousing industries, construction industries, communication, logistic and utility industries, transportations and cartage industries, and technological service industries. Ancillary uses to these permitted uses are also permitted.

When reviewing proposed new or expanding existing industrial uses within a Village or a Serviced Village, Staff review the proposal against the following criteria:

• Industrial areas or uses will be sufficiently setback from residential uses in the general vicinity to mitigate potential conflicts resulting from noise, dust, vibration, odour or vehicular traffic associated with the industrial activity. Industrial areas or uses will be protected from encroachment by non-compatible uses.

• Where feasible, industrial and residential uses will be separated by an intervening use such as service commercial or institutional uses which are compatible.

• The industrial area will generally have direct access to a major road designated on Schedules B-2, B-3, E-2, E-3, N-2, S-2, Z-2, and Z-3 or a Provincial Highway or County Road designated on Schedule C-4, County Transportation Network Plan.

• The number of individual access points for industrial uses to a Provincial Highway or County Road designated on Schedule C-4, County Transportation Network Plan will generally be restricted. New development within industrial areas will be promoted through the establishment of internal service roads providing access to the major road network.

• In addition to the locational criteria for industrial areas or uses, the following criteria will be satisfied prior to permitting industrial development:

o Where proposed industrial development is near to existing or planned residential, open space or institutional uses, adequate buffering through distance separation, fencing or landscaping, and building or site design shall be provided to minimize potential nuisance.

o Adequate water supply and sewage disposal facilities and solid and liquid waste disposal shall be available and satisfactory to the County and/or the Ministry of the Environment. Where centralized water and/or waste water treatment facilities are not available for industrial uses, private water supply and on-site sewage disposal facilities shall satisfy the requirements of the County and the Board of Health and the policies of Section 3.2, Environmental Resource Policies relating to water quality and quantity, as appropriate. Where private services are proposed, industrial uses shall be limited to those that are “dry” in nature.

o Adequate off-street parking and loading facilities shall be required by the Zoning By-Law.

o Buildings will be sufficiently setback from the streetline to ensure that landscaping in the form of berming and/or vegetative screening can be incorporated into yards and parking areas directly adjacent to the streetline.

Page 5 of 8

Report No: CP 2021-215 COMMUNITY PLANNING Council Date: July 7, 2021

o The number of direct access points will be limited and designed to minimize hazards to vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

o Industrial development will be consistent with the Environmental Resource Protection policies and Environmental Constraints policies of Section 3.2.

ZONING BY-LAW

The subject lands are currently zoned ‘Special Development Zone (D-4),’ ‘General Industrial Zone (MG),’ Residential Type 1 Zone (R1),’ and ‘Special Residential Type 1 Zone (R1-6).’ The MG zone, which applies to the existing Stubbe’s facility, permits industrial uses, however, the other existing zonings on-site do not.

The Zone Change Application proposes to rezone the entire subject lands to ‘Special General Industrial Zone (MG-3)’. The purpose of the rezoning is to permit the expansion of the existing rail transfer facility to include an office accessory to the facility, creation of parking and outdoor storage, the construction of new spur lines, and the erection of a noise barrier wall. Special provisions for the noise barrier walls height and the location of the accessory office will be required.

AGENCY COMMENTS

This application was reviewed by a number of public agencies.

The Township Drainage Superintendent indicated that the proposal will be subject to Site Plan Control and a detailed review of the requirements for storm water management and control will be required by the Township Engineer.

The Township Director of Public Works indicated that a 3 m (9.8 ft) widening be received at the east corner by the proposed new entrance for future road widening. It was also noted that the two (2) proposed gravel driveways will need to be paved or concreted from the road edge to the property line as per the Township’s Municipal Standards.

The Township Director of Protective Services, Township Chief Building Official, Canada Post, County Public Works, Southwestern Public Health, and Canadian National Railway had no concerns regarding the proposal.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Notice of complete application and public meeting for the application were circulated in accordance with the Planning Act. To date, two (2) letters of concern has been received as a result of the circulation to the public. Copies of the letters have been attached to this report for Council’s review and consideration. A third resident has provided Staff with photos of the site from over the years and these photos have also been attached for Council’s reference.

Report No: CP 2021-215 COMMUNITY PLANNING Council Date: July 7, 2021

Planning Review

The Zone Change Application seeks to rezone the subject lands to ‘Special General Industrial Zone (MG-3).’ The purpose of the rezoning is to permit the expansion of the existing rail transfer facility to include an office accessory to the facility, creation of parking and outdoor storage, the construction of new spur lines, and the erection of a noise barrier wall.

In Staff’s opinion, the use of the lands for an expanded rail transfer facility within a designated settlement, is generally consistent with the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement and the Official Plan.

Currently, the site is serviced by municipal water services and a private septic system. The proposed use will be ‘dry’ in nature and no works to upgrade the existing services are proposed at this time. Staff note that the existing services will be reviewed during the Site Plan process should the Zone Change Application be approved.

The location of the existing facility, and the subsequent expansion if approved, ensures efficient use of transportation routes. The lands are located adjacent to an existing rail corridor (CN Rail), which is a key component of the applicant’s business model. The lands are also located in close proximity to Oxford Road 33 (Main Street North) and Highway 2, which are key County transportation corridors and should be utilized for the transportation of goods.

The expansion proposes to take mitigation efforts in regards to the existing residential uses along Railway Street East. Buffering is being proposed along the common lot lines between the lands to be used for parking/outdoor storage and neighbouring residential properties. The buffering would be in the form of evergreen hedges, which would be a minimum height of 1.5 m (5 ft) at the time of planting. Along 85 m (278.9 ft) of the north side of Railway Street East is a proposed 5.5 m (18 ft) tall noise barrier to reduce the potential of on-site noise creating a nuisance for the properties on the south side of Railway Street East. The inclusion of a barrier is recommended in the associated Noise Impact Assessment to mitigate noise conflicts.

As part of the formal application submission, the applicants were required to submit a Traffic Impact Brief and a Noise Impact Assessment. Staff had both of the submitted studies peer reviewed by a third party and both were deemed to be appropriate. Due to the nature of the project, it will also be regulated by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) and the necessary approvals from MECP. The project will be required to be registered on the MECP’s Environmental Activity and Sector Registry (EASR).

In Staff’s opinion, the proposal to expand the site operations and to reconfigure the access points will help to relieve concerns of the queueing of trucks along Railway Street East. Additional parking in the outdoor storage area is also being proposed. To further ensure that queueing does not occur along Railway Street East, the Township may explore the possibility of erecting ‘No Parking’ signs along Railway Street East.

As previously outlined in this report, as part of the proposed zone change to the ‘Special General Industrial Zone (MG-3),’ two special provisions are required for the proposal. The first is to permit a 5.5 m (18 ft) tall noise barrier wall along the north side of Railway Street East. In Staff’s opinion, the inclusion of the wall along the north side of Railway Street East is appropriate for the development in order to mitigate any potential noise conflicts with existing residential uses and the on-site activities (railcar shunting, truck idling, etc.).

Page 7 of 8

Report No: CP 2021-215 COMMUNITY PLANNING Council Date: July 7, 2021

A second special provision is required to allow for the conversion of an existing single detached dwelling into an office accessory to the main operation. The dwelling is currently deficient the required 15 m (49.2 ft) front yard depth required for the MG zone. If approved, the provision would recognize the dwelling’s existing front yard depth and permit the conversion into an accessory office. During the circulation of the application to departments and agencies, the Township Public Works Manager did not raise any concerns with the existing location of the dwelling in relation to the road allowance. As such, Planning staff do not have concerns permitting the existing single detached dwelling to be converted to an accessory office in the current location.

In light of the foregoing, it is the opinion of this Office the applicant’s proposal to rezone the subject lands to ‘Special General Industrial Zone (MG-3)’ to permit the expansion of the rail transfer facility is compliant with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms to the relevant policies of the Oxford Official Plan.

In summary, it is the recommendation of this Office that the Zone Change Application be given favourable consideration to permit the expansion of the rail transfer facility.

Dear Rebecca

As a long term resident of Princeton,42 years at 39 Victoria Street East, I find myself extremely concerned about the proposed Zone change. From meetings of the town residents that I have attended, I found that nearly all of them feel the way I do about Iiving in Princeton. The reasons that most people have come to Princeton is to live away from the hustle and bustle of the big towns and cities. Allowing expansion to the Stubbe’s cement plant with this zone change can only, in my view, be a detriment to this life style. When the first two silos were built, most I think, were against it, but the main concern was the pollution from the cement dust. This however did not materialize but what did was the increased noise to the residents in that area. To have a pleasant day in the garden now means listening to the incessant noise from the compressors loading and unloading the cement. Three more would probably make it unbearable for the surrounding residents. Railway Street is a small road and is part of a cul de sac. The increased truck traffic already seems like a violation of the country life we are used to, let alone increasing it exponentially. Opening up the proposed land for storage of pre cast concrete products not only will increase the volume of large trucks on this road, but will also increase the noise from all the support vehicles needed to unload and move said products around. Late night shunting on the rail siding will also increase. The landscape will also change dramatically. Now instead of hay or corn on that land, we will see precast concrete slabs, and other products alien to our way of living defiling the natural beauty of the land. For the local inhabitants, not much has changed in Princeton since I have lived there. The school closings were a shame, municipal water was introduced and the local store got to sell alcohol. All in all life in Princeton is very pleasant. What positives could this zone change possibly add to this life style, and what would it take away.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or on clicking links from unknown senders.

Good afternoon Dustin,

I have recently heard about the rezoning efforts for the Stubbes in Princeton and want to let my objection to this be heard.

We already have a ton of truck traffic coming through town and this will make it much worse. With the amount of younger people moving to the area most with kids I feel this is a disaster waiting to happen.

Also the extra amount of noise and dust that will come with the proposed plans will not benefit anyone but Subbes. I also want to mention this will decrease property value in the immediate surrounding area.

I STRONGLY object to this rezoning and to wrecking more good producing farm land.

Thank you for your time,

Jacob. Photos Submitted by Allen Yeandle

File: ZN1-20-04 – Housekeeping By-law

DETAILS OF PROPOSED BY-LAW

At their meeting on October 21, 2020, Blandford-Blenheim Township Council received a report from Planning Staff outlining proposed updates to Zoning By-law No. 1360-2002 as part of a Housekeeping By-law (ZN1-20-04). This Staff Report was received as part of a Statutory Public Meeting.

At that time, Township Council passed the following resolution;

“That the Council of the Township of Blandford-Blenheim approve-in-principle the proposed Zoning By-law amendment (File # ZN120-04) to introduce “housekeeping” amendments to Township Zoning By-law No. 1360-2002.”

Following Council’s resolution, Staff have been preparing the Amending Zoning By-law to bring back to Council for review and passing. During the preparation of the By-law, an item has come to the attention of Staff which requires the current definition of a “Farm’ to be reconsidered.

The current definition of a ‘Farm’ states:

“means any agricultural use and includes: apiaries; aviaries, berry or bush crops; breeding, raising or training horses or cattle; commercial greenhouses; animal kennels; farms devoted to the hatching, raising and marketing of chickens, turkeys, or other fowl or game birds, animals, fish or frogs; flower, vegetable or specialty crops; field crops; research and/or breeding stations; mushroom farms; nurseries, orchards; riding stables; tree crops; wood lots; seasonal farm shows and such accessory uses or enterprises as are customarily carried on in the field of primary agriculture. A farm may include an on- farm composting facility and may also include a bunk house for seasonal farm workers provided that the bunkhouse is located on the farm on which the seasonal farm workers are employed and the bunkhouse is constructed or anchored in accordance with the Ontario Building Code. A bunk house shall not be used for more than 6 months in any calendar year.”

As outlined above, the current definition for a ‘Farm’ provides examples of agricultural uses and references animal kennels as an example. Staff note, however, that an ‘Animal Kennel’ has a separate definition in the Zoning By-law and is considered to be a standalone use in the Zoning By-law.

The current definition of an ‘Animal Kennel’ states:

“means any lot, building or structure, where household pets, excluding exotic pets, are housed or are to be housed, groomed, bred, boarded, trained or sold and which may offer provisions for minor medical treatment.”

Currently, an ‘Animal Kennel’ is listed as a permitted use within the ‘General Agricultural Zone A2)’, which is outlined in Section 7 of the Zoning By-law. Staff believe that as an ‘Animal Kennel’ is a standalone use in the Zoning By-law, and as kennels are not agricultural uses, that it is not appropriate to include the use as an example of an agricultural use under the ‘Farm’ definition.

As this item was not identified within the October 21, 2020 Staff Report, Staff are recommending that Council direct Staff through a resolution to amend the ‘Farm’ definition by removing the reference of ‘Animal Kennels’ as an example of an agricultural use.

Recommendation:

That Report PW-21-14 be received as information;

Background:

Joint Tenders with the Oxford County Service Sharing Group have been received for the supply and delivery of winter salt for a 3-year contract for the winter season of 2021-22; 2022-23; & 2023-24.

Analysis/Discussion:

Oxford County received 4 submissions to supply and deliver winter salt for the next 3 winter seasons for the County municipalities.

Cargill Salt, Road Safety a Division of Cargill Limited submitted is the low bid price for both Township yards and are low overall in the County Tender.

The estimated quantity is based on our average use and can increase or decrease depending on the winter. Tender summary is based on the estimated tonnage of 200 Tonnes of white salt and 650 Tonnes of treated salt for Blandford-Blenheim.

Report PW-21-14 - 2 - July 7, 2021

The Oxford County Service Sharing Group was happy to receive the 4 submissions and some competitive results. The last time the tender was sent out in 2018 we only received one quote as there was a salt shortage and other suppliers couldn’t meet our needs. The prices that we have received in the submission are less than what we have been paying over the last 3 years.

Staff is recommending that we except and move forward with the submission from Cargill Salt, Road Safety a Division of Cargill Limited.

Meeting Subject: Purchase New Fit Tester Date: July 7th ,2021

Report: FC -21-14

Recommendation:

BE IT RESOLVED that Council receive Report No. FC-21-14 as information.

AND FURTHER that Council approves the purchase of a new fit tester with the cost to be split equally between the RFSOC partners including Ingersoll and Tillsonburg Fire Departments at a total cost of $18,900.00 plus applicable taxes.

Background:

Back in 2011 our RFSOC partners along with Bayham Township Fire, Ingersoll Fire and Tillsonburg Fire purchased a fit tester between us that would verify the firefighter’s ability to obtain an effective seal and fit on our SCBA face mask . Each fire department would have the ability use this fit tester a couple times per year, this unit would also be sent off to the manufacture once per year to be calibrated.

Analysis/Discussion:

Our present fit tester has served all fire departments over the past ten years in meeting our requirements. All parties agreed that when the time comes to replace the current fit tester, we need to make sure that any new fit tester will also test N95 mask as this proved to be a major obstacle when dealing with the current COVID pandemic. This new fit tester will also be made available to other Township Departments if required.

Report FC-21-14 - 2 - July 7th ,2021

Financial Implications:

Staff’s recommendation would be to move forward in purchasing a new fit tester that will complete fit testing for SCBA face mask and also N95 mask and the total cost be split between (7) fire departments equally.

Staff would suggest that our share of $2,700.00 plus applicable taxes be funded through the COVID 19 Safe Restart funding program.

Meeting Subject: Declared Surplus Eq. Date: July 7th ,2021

Report: FC -21-15

Recommendation:

BE IT RESOLVED that Council receive Report No. FC-21-15 regarding surplus equipment be hereby received for information;

AND FURTHER that Council approves that the following equipment 1990 Ford E-One Pumper (Asset ID 82-07) be declared surplus to the needs of the municipality :

AND FURTHER that the surplus equipment be liquidated on Govdeals.

Background:

This surplus pumper was replaced in 2015 with a new 4 door Freightliner Pumper designed and manufactured by Metalfab and located at Princeton Station . Over the last few years this surplus pumper was staged at the Plattsville Station and today it is located in the Drumbo Station .Most of the firefighter equipment has been removed from this pumper over the years and it just seems to be used as a people mover which is not what this unit was intended for. It would appear that this 31-year-old pumper has outlived its useful lifecycle.

Analysis/Discussion:

Staff would propose that this surplus pumper be disposed of through Govdeals. Govdeals is an internet -based auction -type platform available to government agencies to either acquire or sell surplus assets to third parties. The Township’s website and social media sites can direct interested parties to the right place to look at the assets available . Alternatively ,options like simply using the newspaper or social media advertising have been considered ,however the exposure through Govdeals has proven successful to the Township Fire Department in selling surplus firefighting assets in the past .

Report FC-21-15 - 2 - July 7th ,2021

Financial Implications:

Any net proceeds from the sale of this equipment will be considered surplus . The amount of these proceeds is not known at this time , as there is no net book value for these types of assets .
