Comments Received:

Neil Allanson, Manager of Roads and Urban Services:

The proposed severed and retained parcels do provide an adequate location for a “site specific” residential entrance. A new entrance must be installed meeting the requirements of the Trent Hills Entrance and Setback Policy, and a 911 number assigned. Further entrance details (culvert, ditching, brushing, etc., if required) will be provided by Public Works staff, upon the formal application of an entrance permit.

The severed parcel with the existing residential dwelling, is currently accessed over an unassumed and unmaintained road allowance.

Date: April 6, 2021 LTC File No. PL-21-046

Liz Stillman Planning Coordinator Municipality of Trent Hills 66 Front Street Campbellford, ON K0L 1L0

RE: Applications for Consent and Zoning By-Law Amendment – JEFFREY 5 Nelson Road, Concession 6, Part Lot 11, Municipality of Trent Hills (Geographic - Percy) Application No.’s: B03/2020, B04/2020 & C03/2020

Dear Ms. Stillman, Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) is in receipt of the Notice of Public Hearing and Meeting concurrently for the above noted property, which was revised and recirculated to our office on March 3, 2021 for review and comment in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 1 of our Planning Services Agreement with the municipality. We understand that the purpose of the revised applications is to: B03/2020: To create one new vacant parcel, being approximately 16.0 acres for future residential development. B04/2020: To sever off the existing dwelling and some outbuildings, total size will measure 2.5 acres. The retained lands currently contain the existing barns, will measure 81.5 acres, and will be eligible for future residential development. C03/2020: To recognize the creation of two (2) new parcels, being the severed portions of Severance Consent Application B03/2020 and B04/2020. The current zoning of the subject lands is Rural, Environmental Protection and Environmentally Sensitive. The zoning for Severance Consent Application B03/2020 will remain Rural, Environmental Protection and Environmentally Sensitive. The proposed zoning for Severance Consent Application B04/2020 will be Rural Residential. The zoning for the retained portion, being approximately 81.5 acres (with existing agricultural outbuildings) will remain Rural, Environmental Protection and Environmentally Sensitive. All Environmental Protection and Environmentally Sensitive zoning will remain in place. Documents Received and Review by Staff Staff have received and reviewed the following document(s) submitted: ● Cover letter requesting LTC review and comment dated March 3, 2021; ● Revised Notice of Public Hearing (B03/2020 and B04/2020); and, ● Revised Notice of Public Meeting (C03/2020). Staff have reviewed these submissions as per our delegated responsibility from the Province to represent provincial interests regarding natural hazards identified in Section 3.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS, 2020) and as a regulatory authority under Ontario Regulation 163/06. LTC has also provided comments as per our Planning Services Agreement with the Municipality of Trent Hills representing LTC’s role in the provision of environmental advisory comments related to natural heritage feature and water resource protection. The applications have also been reviewed through our role as a public body under the Planning Act as per our LTC Board approved policies. Finally, LTC has provided advisory comments related to policy applicability and to assist with implementation of the Trent Source Protection Plan under the Clean Water Act.

RECOMMENDATION Please be advised that Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) would support the approval of these applications. However, it

Page 13 of 119 4.a) Severance Consent Applications B03/2020 and B04/2020 (subsequent to...Page 2 of 5

is encouraged that both the mapped wetlands on the subject lands and the 120 metre area of influence associated with the identified key hydrologic features subject to the hydrologic protection policies (Section 4.2.4) of the provincial “A Place to Grow: Growth plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe” (GPGGH, 2019) be placed in a restrictive zoning (e.g., Environmental Protection) in order to prevent future development within these sensitive areas in the absence of a Hydrologic Evaluation. LTC recommends that the landowners and the municipal building officials be provided with a copy of this letter whereby they can be informed of the applicability of Ontario Regulation 163/06 – Lower Trent Conservation Authority: Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses on the subject lands and that, a permit from LTC may be required for future development and/or site alteration prior to the commencement of any on-site work. Landowner(s) will need to contact LTC directly to confirm permitting requirements and restrictions. Refer to the following sections for context.

SITE CHARACTERISTICS Based on existing mapping, satellite imagery, and other available information, there are unevaluated wetlands in both the northeastern corner and southeastern corner of the subject lands, and the Dartford Pond-O’Reilly Lake Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) extends onto the southeastern corner of the property. There are no regulated features on the northern parcel to be severed (B03/2020). There are agricultural fields with the remainder of the subject lands being forested. Large portions of the subject lands are situated within areas that are regulated by LTC pursuant to Ontario Regulation 163/06 – Lower Trent Region Conservation Authority: Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses. Mapping of known and potential areas subject to Ontario Regulation 163/06 is available to the public at the following link: http://www.ltc.on.ca/maps/regulations/ The subject lands are currently designated Greenlands System and Primary and Secondary Mineral Aggregate in the Official Plan for the Municipality of Trent Hills and zoned Rural, Environmental Protection, and Environmentally Sensitive.

DELEGATED RESPONSIBILITY AND STATUTORY COMMENTS 1. LTC has reviewed the applications through our delegated responsibility from the Province to represent provincial interests regarding natural hazards identified in Section 3.1 of the PPS. ● It is our opinion that the application is consistent with Section 3.1 of the PPS as no natural hazards were identified on the subject lands. 2. LTC has reviewed the applications as per our responsibilities as a regulatory authority under Ontario Regulation 163/06. This regulation, made under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act, enables conservation authorities to regulate development in or adjacent to river or stream valleys, Great Lakes and inland lake shorelines, watercourses, hazardous lands and wetlands. Development taking place on these lands may require permission from the conservation authority to confirm that the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land are not affected. LTC also regulates the alteration to or interference in any way with a watercourse or wetland. ● Current available screening mapping includes multiple unevaluated wetlands and the Dartford Pond-O’Reilly Lake PSW on the subject lands. Please see attached map for details. As a result, portions of the subject lands are situated within areas that are subject to Ontario Regulation 163/06. In accordance with Ontario Regulation 163/06, no person shall: S. 2) Undertake development (including site alterations), or permit another person to undertake development in or on areas within the jurisdiction of the Conservation Authority that are: wetlands; or, other areas where development could interfere with the hydrologic function of a wetland including areas within 120 metres of a Provincially Significant Wetland and 30 metres of all other wetlands; OR

Page 14 of 119 4.a) Severance Consent Applications B03/2020 and B04/2020 (subsequent to...Page 3 of 5

S. 5) Change or interfere in any way with a wetland; without the prior written approval of the Authority (i.e., LTC). Any development* within 30 metres of the unevaluated wetland, 120 metres of a Provincially Significant Wetland, and/or any activities that would interfere in any way with the wetlands on site would require a permit from our office prior to the commencement of any on-site work. *Development is defined in the Conservation Authorities Act as: i. The construction, re-construction, erection or placing of a building or structure of any kind, ii. Any change to a building or structure that would have the effect of altering the use or potential use of the building or structure, increasing the size of the building or structure or increasing the number of dwelling units in the building or structure; iii. Site grading; or, iv. The temporary or permanent placing, dumping, or removal of any material, originating on the site or elsewhere. Unevaluated wetlands have not been evaluated by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) and have not been designated as provincially significant. They have been mapped by the MNRF using the best available information (e.g., air photographs and topographic mapping) but have not been assessed on the ground. The direction that LTC has received from the MNRF is that unevaluated wetlands should be treated as PSWs unless demonstrated to be otherwise through an evaluation completed by a certified professional. Based on this direction, LTC has incorporated the MNRF unevaluated wetland mapping into our Ontario Regulation 163/06 screening mapping to identify areas of potential wetland across the watershed. LTC Board-approved policies 6.2 and 6.2.2 for the administration of Ontario Regulation 163/06 states that development and interference shall not be permitted within a wetland nor within 30 metres of the boundaries of any wetland. We would not permit removal of the wetlands (e.g., clearing and/or draining the feature). However, we can advise that there is sufficient room available to accommodate a development envelope outside of the 30 metre regulated area surrounding the mapped unevaluated wetlands and PSWs on the retained lands. There are no wetland features on the proposed severed parcels. Landowner(s) are encouraged to contact LTC to discuss this matter directly if they have any questions or concerns. LTC’s permitting policy document is available to the public at the following link: http://www.ltc.on.ca/planning/pag/

Page 15 of 119 4.a) Severance Consent Applications B03/2020 and B04/2020 (subsequent to...Page 4 of 5

adjacent lands for the PSW does not extend over the proposed severed parcel B03/2020 and severed parcel B04/2020 is already developed. As a result, LTC has no concerns from a natural heritage perspective for the subject applications. 4. LTC has reviewed the application as a public commenting body, pursuant to the Planning Act. ● We have no further comments to add in this role. 5. LTC has reviewed the application in terms of the Trent Source Protection Plan, prepared under Clean Water Act, 2006. The Source Protection Plan came into effect on January 1, 2015 and contains policies to protect sources of municipal drinking water from existing and future land use activities. ● The subject lands are not located within an identified drinking water source protection area.

ADDITIONAL ADVISORY COMMENTS The subject lands are situated within an area that is subject to the policies of A Place to Grow: Growth plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GPGGH, May 2019). Some of these policies relate to the protection of key hydrologic features. Key hydrologic features are defined in the Plan and include such things as wetlands, streams, seepage areas, springs etc. The unevaluated wetlands and the PSW mapped on the subject lands are considered key hydrologic features under the GPGGH definitions. Outside of defined settlement areas, for development or site alteration proposals within 120 metres of any key hydrologic feature (e.g., a wetland), the GPGGH requires the completion of a Hydrologic Evaluation by a qualified professional “that identifies a vegetation protection zone, which: a. Is of sufficient width to protect the key hydrologic feature and its functions from the impacts of the proposed change; b. Is established to achieve and be maintained as natural self-sustaining vegetation; and, c. For key hydrologic features, is no less than 30 metres measured from the outside boundary of the key hydrologic feature.” And, identifies any “additional restrictions to be applied before, during, and after development to protect the hydrologic functions and ecological functions of the feature” (Section 4.2.4). A large portion of the retained lands falls within the 120 metre area of influence associated with the Dartford Pond-O’Reilly Lake PSW and the mapped unevaluated wetlands. The severed parcel B04/2020 is also partially within the 120 metre area of influence for the wetlands in the southeastern corner of the subject lands and therefore is within a sensitive area recognized by the GPGGH policies. Lot creation is considered development under the Planning Act. However, as severed parcel B04/2020 is already developed with a residential dwelling, LTC has no concerns regarding an impact to the identified key hydrologic features. In addition, there is plenty of room on the retained lands to situate future development outside of the 120 metre area of influence. Severed parcel B03/2020 is not within a sensitive area recognized by the GPGGH policies. A Hydrologic Evaluation would therefore not be required to support the application pursuant to Section 4.2.4 of the GPGGH. LTC is of the opinion that the subject application conforms to the hydrologic protection policies of the GPGGH but encourages the Municipality to include the retained lands in the submitted zoning by-law amendment and place the areas of 120 metre area of influence associated with the identified wetlands.

LTC would therefore have no objection to the approval of these applications, however note that there are sensitive features and areas on the properties that need to be considered accordingly. We have offered some recommendations above regarding the hydrologic protection policies of the GPGGH for the municipality’s consideration. If an Hydrologic Evaluation is deemed to be required by the municipality, LTC staff would be happy to confirm the scope/ Terms of Reference for the study and review the document once completed. Informing landowner(s) of the applicability of Ontario Regulation 163/06 is important and has been reflected in our recommendation above. The above comments reflect our understanding at the time of writing of applicable policies, legislation, and the development proposal. I trust this letter meets your information requirements. However, should you require any further information or have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Please inform this office of any decision made by the municipality with regard to this application. We respectfully request to receive a copy of the decision and notice of any appeals filed.

Date: March 25, 2021 LTC File No. PL-20-110

Liz Stillman Planning Coordinator Municipality of Trent Hills 66 Front Street Campbellford, ON K0L 1L0

RE: Applications for Consent, Zoning By-Law Amendment – LOCKE 10th Line East/County Road 38, Concession 9, Lots 17 & 18, Municipality of Trent Hills (Geographic-Seymour) Application No.’s: B26/2020, B27/2020 & C12/2020

Dear Ms. Stillman, Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) is in receipt of the resubmitted Notice of Public Hearing and Notice of Public Meeting for the above noted property, which were recirculated to our office on March 10, 2021 for review and comment in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 1 of our Planning Services Agreement with the municipality. We understand that the purpose of the applications for consent and the zoning by-law amendment are to: B26/2020: Sever a vacant parcel measuring 3.00 acres for future residential development, in which access will be via a right-of-way. B27/2020: Sever a vacant parcel measuring 2.09 acres for future residential development, in which access will be via a right-of-way. The retained lands, of which are currently vacant, will measure 71.79 acres and will be used for future residential development purposes. C12/2020: Submitted to recognize the creation of two new lots. The proposed zoning for both applications B26/2020 and B27/2020 will be Rural Residential Exception. The Exception to the Rural Residential zoning will acknowledge the reduced lot frontage/right-of-way access. The retained lands will remain Rural, Environmental Protection (EP), and Environmentally Sensitive (ES). All EP and ES zoning will remain in place. This zoning by-law amendment was submitted in conjunction with the applications for consent. Documents Received and Reviewed by Staff Staff have received and reviewed the following document(s) submitted: ● Cover letter requesting LTC review and comment dated March 10, 2021; ● Revised Notice of Public Hearing (B26/2020 and B27/2020); and, ● Revised Notice of Public Meeting (C12/2020).

Please note that a Karst Evaluation was also prepared, at the request of LTC, in order to support the applications. The report was prepared by Cambium Inc. (file no. 11812-001). Staff have reviewed these submissions as per our delegated responsibility from the Province to represent provincial interests regarding natural hazards identified in Section 3.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS, 2020) and as a regulatory authority under Ontario Regulation 163/06. LTC has also provided comments as per our Planning Services Agreement with the Municipality of Trent Hills representing LTC’s role in the provision of environmental advisory comments related to natural heritage feature and water resource protection. The applications have also been reviewed through our role as a public body under the Planning Act as per our LTC Board approved policies. Finally, LTC has

Page 26 of 119 4.b) Severance Consent Applications B26/2020 and B27/2020 (subsequent to...Page 2 of 6

provided advisory comments related to policy applicability and to assist with implementation of the Trent Source Protection Plan under the Clean Water Act.

RECOMMENDATION Please be advised that Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) would have no objection to the approval of the subject applications. Note: As outlined in our comments dated January 22, 2021, Section 4.1 of the Karst Evaluation completed by Cambium Inc. includes a recommendation that the bedrock be inspected at footing depth during construction prior to placing the footings to ensure that the subsurface conditions meet the requirements of the design. The report also notes that this step is increasingly important due to the limited data to the limited data received from the hand auger holes and the absence of exposed bedrock on the subject property. It is the opinion of LTC staff that this recommendation be included in the municipality’s construction phase of development on the subject lands and is overseen by the municipality. LTC recommends that the landowners and the municipal building officials be provided with a copy of this letter whereby they can be informed of the applicability of Ontario Regulation 163/06 – Lower Trent Conservation Authority: Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses on the subject lands and that, a permit from LTC may be required for future development and/or site alteration prior to the commencement of any on-site work. Landowner(s) will need to contact LTC directly to confirm permitting requirements and restrictions. Refer to the following sections for context.

SITE CHARACTERISTICS Based on existing mapping, satellite imagery, and a site visit conducted by LTC staff on October 26, 2020, a watercourse runs through the subject lands, eventually draining into the Trent River. The majority of the subject lands are currently forested. According to the Ontario Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines (MNDM) through Ontario Geological Survey (OGS) mapping, the subject lands are within an area of known karst. Karst topography is considered a hazardous site. The submitted Karst Evaluation confirmed that there was no evidence of karst features on site. Portions of the subject lands are situated within areas that are regulated by LTC pursuant to Ontario Regulation 163/06 – Lower Trent Region Conservation Authority: Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses. Mapping of known and potential areas subject to Ontario Regulation 163/06 is available to the public at the following link: http://www.ltc.on.ca/maps/regulations/

Page 27 of 119 4.b) Severance Consent Applications B26/2020 and B27/2020 (subsequent to...Page 3 of 6

proposed severed parcels and the watercourse, and the setbacks associated with the watercourse as a “key hydrologic feature” pursuant to A Place to Grow: Growth plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GPGGH, 2019) on the proposed retained parcel would be sufficient to address any flooding hazard concerns we may have. ● Available mapping indicates that the subject lands are located in an area known to have karst topography. As a result, it was recommended in our earlier review comments that a geotechnical investigation be conducted by a qualified professional in order to confirm the presence of karst topography. A Karst Evaluation was provided by Cambium Inc. and it was confirmed that there were no visible karst topography on site. As mentioned in our recommendations above, all of the recommendations from the report should be included in the future building design. Please note that if karst is confirmed on site during the footings inspection phase, a permit from LTC will be required prior to any further development and/or site alteration. ● It is our opinion that the application is consistent with Section 3.1 of the PPS. 2. LTC has reviewed the applications as per our responsibilities as a regulatory authority under Ontario Regulation 163/06. This regulation, made under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act, enables conservation authorities to regulate development in or adjacent to river or stream valleys, Great Lakes and inland lake shorelines, watercourses, hazardous lands and wetlands. Development taking place on these lands may require permission from the conservation authority to confirm that the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land are not affected. LTC also regulates the alteration to or interference in any way with a watercourse or wetland. ● Current available screening mapping includes a watercourse, specifically a tributary that drains into the Trent River, that runs through the proposed retained lands. In addition, there are unevaluated wetlands on the adjacent lands to the east of the proposed severed parcels. As a result, a small portion of the eastern parcel to be severed is situated within an area that is subject to Ontario Regulation 163/06. In accordance with Ontario Regulation 163/06, no person shall: S. 2) Undertake development (including site alterations), or permit another person to undertake development in or on areas within the jurisdiction of the Conservation Authority that are: river or stream valleys; land that could be unsafe for development due to natural occurring processes associated with flooding and/or erosion; wetlands; or, other areas where development could interfere with the hydrologic function of a wetland including areas within 120 metres of a Provincially Significant Wetland and 30 metres of all other wetlands; OR S. 5) Straighten, change, divert or interfere in any way with the existing channel or a river, creek, stream or watercourse; or change or interfere in any way with a wetland; without the prior written approval of the Authority (i.e., LTC). Any development* within 30 metres of the unevaluated wetland on the adjacent lands, or within 15 metres of the stable top of bank of the watercourse, and/or any watercourse alterations (e.g., dredging, culvert installation, bridge construction, etc.) on site would require a permit from our office prior to the commencement of any on-site work. *Development is defined in the Conservation Authorities Act as: i. The construction, re-construction, erection or placing of a building or structure of any kind, ii. Any change to a building or structure that would have the effect of altering the use or potential use of the building or structure, increasing the size of the building or structure or increasing the number of dwelling units in the building or structure; iii. Site grading; or, iv. The temporary or permanent placing, dumping, or removal of any material, originating on the site or elsewhere. ● Unevaluated wetlands have not been evaluated by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) and have not been designated as provincially significant. They have been mapped by the MNRF using the best available information (e.g., air photographs and topographic mapping) but have not been assessed on the ground. The direction that LTC has received from the MNRF is that unevaluated wetlands should be treated as

Page 28 of 119 4.b) Severance Consent Applications B26/2020 and B27/2020 (subsequent to...Page 4 of 6

PSWs unless demonstrated to be otherwise through an evaluation completed by a certified professional. Based on this direction, LTC has incorporated the MNRF unevaluated wetland mapping into our Ontario Regulation 163/06 screening mapping to identify areas of potential wetland across the watershed. Based on the results of LTC’s site assessment, there are no unevaluated wetlands on the retained or severed lands. LTC permitting requirements may apply to future development activities within the 30 metre regulated allowance of the currently mapped unevaluated wetland on the adjacent lands to the east. This wetland could not be assessed by LTC staff as it is on private property. The associated regulated area extends onto a small portion of the eastern severed parcel (B27/2020) and therefore future development will need to be directed outside of this setback. LTC Board-approved policies 6.2 and 6.2.2 for the administration of Ontario Regulation 163/06 states that development and interference shall not be permitted within a wetland nor within 30 metres of the boundaries of any wetland. We can advise that there is sufficient room available on all of the resultant parcels to accommodate a development envelope outside of the 30 metre regulated allowance associated with the mapped unevaluated wetland. ● Hazardous lands are defined in the Conservation Authorities Act as lands that could be unsafe for development due to naturally occurring processes associated with flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches or unstable soil or bedrock. This includes karst topography. The submitted Karst Evaluation identified that there was no visible karst topography on the subject lands. If karst is confirmed on the subject lands during the development phases, LTC permitting requirements will apply to future development activities on the both the retained and severed parcel. ● Landowner(s) are encouraged to contact LTC to discuss this matter directly if they have any questions or concerns. LTC’s permitting policy document is available to the public at the following link: http://www.ltc.on.ca/planning/pag/

ADVISORY COMMENTS 3. LTC has reviewed the applications through our responsibilities as a service provider to the Municipality of Trent Hills in that we provide a comprehensive environmental review of applications subject to the provisions of the Planning Act, and other statutes as may apply, through a Planning Services Agreement (Agreement for Planning Act Application Review between Municipality of Trent Hills and Lower Trent Region Conservation Authority, 2018). Specifically, in accordance with the agreement, LTC has also reviewed the applications with consideration for natural heritage feature and water quality and quantity protection policies. ● The identified watercourse that runs through the retained lands is considered fish habitat in accordance with provincial guidelines. Policy 2.1.8 of the Natural Heritage section of the PPS applies to this application. Here it is stated that: 2.1.8 development and site alteration shall not be permitted on adjacent lands to the natural heritage features and areas identified in policies 2.1.4, 2.1.5, and 2.1.6 (including fish habitat, significant wetlands etc.) unless the ecological function of the adjacent lands has been evaluated and it has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or their ecological functions. The width of “adjacent lands” associated with fish habitat is 120 metres. The proposed severed parcels are located outside of the 120 metre “adjacent lands” area for the watercourse. Further, sufficient room would still be available on the retained lands to situate a future development envelope outside of the 120 metre “adjacent lands” area when the severed parcels are created. It is our opinion that an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) would not be required to support the applications to address the policy noted above. Standard construction mitigation and drainage control measures should be implemented for future development and site alteration activities on the retained lands to prevent migration of sediment into the watercourse (e.g., silt fencing around disturbed areas that may convey water toward the watercourse). Further, according to the Natural Heritage Reference Manual for Natural Heritage Policies of the PPS (Ministry

Page 29 of 119 4.b) Severance Consent Applications B26/2020 and B27/2020 (subsequent to...Page 5 of 6

of Natural Resources and Forestry, 2010), establishing or retaining a 30-metre-wide swath of natural vegetation adjacent to a watercourse, along either side, on the retained lands will assist in mitigating negative impacts to fish habitat. Landowner(s) are encouraged to establish vegetated buffers in line with this recommendation, if not already implemented on-site. ● LTC has no concerns from a water quality and quantity perspective. However, we would like to advise landowner(s) that maintaining natural vegetative buffers adjacent to the watercourse bank would help to protect the water quality of the identified watercourse. 4. LTC has reviewed the applications as a public commenting body, pursuant to the Planning Act. ● We have no further comments to add in this role. 5. LTC has reviewed the applications in terms of the Trent Source Protection Plan, prepared under Clean Water Act, 2006. The Source Protection Plan came into effect on January 1, 2015 and contains policies to protect sources of municipal drinking water from existing and future land use activities. ● The subject lands are not located within an identified drinking water source protection area.

Page 30 of 119 4.b) Severance Consent Applications B26/2020 and B27/2020 (subsequent to...Page 6 of 6

4. The identified watercourse and unevaluated wetlands on the adjacent lands are considered key hydrologic features pursuant to the GPGGH and these applications trigger Section 4.2.4 of the GPGGH. There is room available on the subject lands to situate development outside of the 120 metre “area of influence” associated with the watercourse that runs through the retained lands; and, 5. The subject lands are not located within an area that is subject to the policies contained in the Trent Source Protection Plan. LTC would therefore have no objection to the approval of these applications. If an Environmental Impact Study and/or Hydrologic Evaluation is deemed to be required by the municipality in the future, LTC staff would be happy to confirm the scope/ Terms of Reference for the study and review the document once completed. Informing landowner(s) of the applicability of Ontario Regulation 163/06 is important and has been reflected in our recommendation above as well as the inspection of bedrock at footing depth during the development phases on the subject lands. The above comments reflect our understanding at the time of writing of applicable policies, legislation, and the development proposal. I trust this letter meets your information requirements. However, should you require any further information or have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Please inform this office of any decision made by the municipality with regard to these applications. We respectfully request to receive a copy of the decision and notice of any appeals filed.

Sincerely,

Victoria Heffernan, EPt. Assistant Planning Technician 613-394-3915 ext. 238

Liz Stillman Planning Coordinator Municipality of Trent Hills 66 Front Street Campbellford, ON K0L 1L0

RE: Applications for Consent and Zoning By-Law Amendment – LITTLE 354 6th Line West, Concession 6, Part Lot 4, Municipality of Trent Hills (Geographic - Seymour) Application No.’s: B11/2021, B12/2021 and C05/2021

Dear Ms. Stillman, Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) is in receipt of the above noted applications, which were circulated to our office on March 17, 2021 for review and comment in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 1 of our Planning Services Agreement with the municipality. We understand that the purpose of the applications for consent is to sever two lots in total. The proposed western lot (B12/2021) is currently vacant, and will measure 47.50 acres. The proposed eastern lot (B11/2021) will contain the existing residential dwelling and multiple outbuildings, and will measure 5.00 acres. The retained lands will contain multiple existing outbuildings, will measure 47.50 acres and will be for future residential development. A zoning by-law amendment was submitted concurrently. The current zoning on the subject lands is Rural, Environmental Protection, and Environmentally Sensitive. The proposed zoning for the first severed lot (B11/2021) will be Rural Residential (RR). The zoning for the second severed lot (B12/2021) will remain Rural, Environmental Protection and Environmentally Sensitive. The zoning for the retained portion, being approximately 47.50 acres will also remain Rural, Environmental Protection and Environmentally Sensitive. All Environmental Protection and Environmentally Sensitive zoning will remain in place. Documents Received and Review by Staff Staff have received and reviewed the following document(s) submitted; ● Cover letter requesting LTC review and comment dated March 17, 2021; ● Notice of Public Hearing for Applications for Consent, file no.’s B11/2021 and B12/2021; and, ● Notice of Public Meeting for Zoning By-Law Amendment, file no. C05/2021.

Staff have reviewed these submissions as per our delegated responsibility from the Province to represent provincial interests regarding natural hazards identified in Section 3.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS, 2020) and as a regulatory authority under Ontario Regulation 163/06. LTC has also provided comments as per our Planning Services Agreement with the Municipality of Trent Hills representing LTC’s role in the provision of environmental advisory comments related to natural heritage feature and water resource protection. The applications have also been reviewed through our role as a public body under the Planning Act with consideration for LTC Board-approved plan review policies. Finally, LTC has provided advisory comments related to policy applicability and to assist with implementation of the Trent Source Protection Plan under the Clean Water Act.

RECOMMENDATION Please be advised that Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) would have no objection to the approval of Severance Application B11/2021 and its associated rezoning. However, it is recommended that Severance Application B12/2021 be deferred as it has not been demonstrated that the proposal is consistent with the policies outlined in A Place to

Page 50 of 119 4.e) Severance Consent Applications B11/2021 and B12/2021 Zoning Amendme...Page 2 of 5

Grow: Growth plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GPGGH, May 2019) concerning key hydrologic features (Section 4.2.4). It is recommended that a Hydrologic Evaluation (HE) be prepared for the subject application (B12/2021) as the majority of the proposed parcel and the property lines are within the 120 metre “area of influence” associated with currently mapped key hydrologic features on the subject lands. The purpose of the HE would be to identify an appropriate vegetative protection zone surrounding the features to prevent any future development and/or site alteration within sensitive areas. A restrictive zoning over these sensitive areas would assist in their protection and ensure that the associated vegetation protection zones remain in a naturally vegetated state, consistent with the policies outlined in the GPGGH, specifically Section 4.2.4 and LTC’s regulatory policies concerning wetlands. An alternative would be to rearrange the proposed lot lines so that they do not encroach into the 120 metre “area of influence” associated with multiple currently mapped key hydrologic features. Deferral may also allow for LTC staff to conduct a wetland site assessment during the appropriate field season to further verify the extent of the key hydrologic features and associated requirements under the GPGGH. It is requested that the landowner and building department at the Municipality have been provided with a copy of this letter whereby they are informed that Ontario Regulation 163/06 – Lower Trent Conservation Authority: Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses does apply to the subject lands and that, written approval from LTC may be required for future development and/or site alteration prior to the commencement of any on-site work. Landowner(s) will need to contact LTC directly to confirm permitting requirements and restrictions. Refer to the following sections for context.

SITE CHARACTERISTICS Existing mapping, satellite imagery, and air photos indicate that there are multiple unevaluated wetlands on the subject lands. Specifically, throughout the western parcel to be severed (B12/2021), and a large unevaluated wetland extends onto the northeastern corner of the proposed retained lands. There are no features or regulated areas on the proposed eastern severed parcel (B11/2021). Portions of the subject lands are situated within areas that are regulated by LTC pursuant to Ontario Regulation 163/06 – Lower Trent Region Conservation Authority: Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses. Mapping of known and potential areas subject to Ontario Regulation 163/06 is available to the public at the following link: http://www.ltc.on.ca/maps/regulations/

DELEGATED RESPONSIBILITY AND STATUTORY COMMENTS 1. LTC has reviewed the applications through our delegated responsibility from the Province to represent provincial interests regarding natural hazards identified in Section 3.1 of the PPS. ● It is our opinion that the application is consistent with Section 3.1 of the PPS as no natural hazards were identified on the subject lands. 2. LTC has reviewed the applications as per our responsibilities as a regulatory authority under Ontario Regulation 163/06. This regulation, made under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act, enables conservation authorities to regulate development in or adjacent to river or stream valleys, Great Lakes and inland lake shorelines, watercourses, hazardous lands and wetlands. Development taking place on these lands may require permission from the conservation authority to confirm that the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land are not affected. LTC also regulates the alteration to or interference in any way with a watercourse or wetland. ● Portions of the subject lands are situated within areas that are subject to Ontario Regulation 163/06. Specifically, as stated above, there are multiple unevaluated wetlands on the subject lands, specifically on the severed parcel B12/2021 and the retained lands. In accordance with Ontario Regulation 163/06, no person shall: S. 2) Undertake development (including site alterations), or permit another person to undertake

Page 51 of 119 4.e) Severance Consent Applications B11/2021 and B12/2021 Zoning Amendme...Page 3 of 5

development in or on areas within the jurisdiction of the Conservation Authority that are: wetlands; or, other areas where development could interfere with the hydrologic function of a wetland including areas within 30 metres of all wetlands other than provincially significant wetlands (“PSWs”, which are granted a 120 metre wide regulated allowance); OR S. 5) Change or interfere in any way with a wetland; without the prior written approval of the Authority (i.e., LTC). Any development* within 30 metres of an unevaluated wetland and/or any activities that would interfere in any way with the wetland would require a permit from our office prior to the commencement of on-site work. *Development is defined in the Conservation Authorities Act as: i. The construction, re-construction, erection or placing of a building or structure of any kind, ii. Any change to a building or structure that would have the effect of altering the use or potential use of the building or structure, increasing the size of the building or structure or increasing the number of dwelling units in the building or structure; iii. Site grading; or, iv. The temporary or permanent placing, dumping, or removal of any material, originating on the site or elsewhere. ● LTC Board-approved policies Sections 6.2 and 6.2.2 for the administration of Ontario Regulation 163/06 state that development and interference shall not be permitted within a wetland nor within 30 metres of the boundary of the wetland. We would not permit the removal of any wetland feature (e.g., clearing or draining the feature) and a permit would not be obtainable to develop on the proposed retained lands within 30 metres of any confirmed wetland. It is noted that unevaluated wetlands have not been evaluated by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) and have not been designated as provincially significant. They have been mapped by the MNRF using the best available information (e.g., air photographs and topographic mapping) but have not been assessed on the ground. The direction that LTC has received from the MNRF is that unevaluated wetlands should be treated as PSWs for land use planning purposes unless demonstrated to be otherwise through an evaluation completed by a certified professional. The extent of the unevaluated wetlands mapped on the subject lands cannot be verified at this time of year and a wetland site assessment has not been completed by LTC staff as part of this review. Generally, wetland site assessments can only be completed during the peak growing season (i.e., late May through to the end of October). In the absence of field-verified information, we would defer to the boundary mapped by the MNRF as the best available information. The consultant retained by the proponent to conduct the Hydrologic Evaluation required pursuant to the Growth Plan (see ‘Additional Advisory Comments’ section of this letter) will need to verify the extent of the wetland as part of the evaluation for the western severed parcel (B12/2021). Alternatively, the proponent may request LTC staff to conduct this assessment during the appropriate field season before proceeding with retaining a consultant to prepare the Hydrologic Evaluation. This would also require a deferral of the said application as included in our recommendations above. ● Landowner(s) are encouraged to contact LTC to discuss this matter directly if they have any questions or concerns. LTC’s permitting policy document is available to the public at the following link: http://www.ltc.on.ca/planning/pag/

Page 52 of 119 4.e) Severance Consent Applications B11/2021 and B12/2021 Zoning Amendme...Page 4 of 5

● There are no identified natural heritage or water features of provincial concern on or around the subject lands that would trigger consideration for Section 2.1 of the PPS. Further, LTC has no concerns from a water quality and quantity perspective. 4. LTC has reviewed the applications through our role as a public body, pursuant to the Planning Act. ● We have no further comments to add in this role. 5. LTC has reviewed the applications in terms of the Trent Source Protection Plan, prepared under Clean Water Act, 2006. The Source Protection Plan came into effect on January 1, 2015 and contains policies to protect sources of municipal drinking water from existing and future land use activities. ● The subject lands are not located within an identified drinking water source protection area.

ADDITIONAL ADVISORY COMMENTS The subject lands are situated within an area that is subject to the policies of A Place to Grow: Growth plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GPGGH, May 2019). Some of these policies relate to the protection of key hydrologic features. Key hydrologic features are defined in the Plan and include such things as wetlands, streams, seepage areas, springs etc. The wetlands on the subject lands are considered key hydrologic features under the GPGGH definitions. For development or site alteration proposals within 120 metres of any key hydrologic feature (e.g., a wetland), the GPGGH requires the completion of a Hydrologic Evaluation (HE) by a qualified professional “that identifies a vegetation protection zone, which: a. Is of sufficient width to protect the key hydrologic feature and its functions from the impacts of the proposed change; b. Is established to achieve and be maintained as natural self-sustaining vegetation; and, c. For key hydrologic features, is no less than 30 metres measured from the outside boundary of the key hydrologic feature.” And, identifies any “additional restrictions to be applied before, during, and after development to protect the hydrologic functions and ecological functions of the feature” (Section 4.2.4). A large portion of the subject lands falls within the 120 metre area of influence associated with the mapped wetlands. This includes the majority of the western severed lot (B12/2021) and a large portion of the retained lands, in the northeastern corner. Lot creation is considered development under the Planning Act. A HE would therefore be required to support the application pursuant to Section 4.2.4 of the GPGGH. A HE was not provided to support these applications and we are not aware that one has been completed to date. However, severed lot B11/2021 is located entirely outside of the 120 metre “area of influence” associated with the mapped unevaluated wetlands on the subject lands and the lot is already developed with a residential dwelling. As a result, LTC has no concerns with application B11/2021 and is of the opinion that the subject severance and associated rezoning conforms to the hydrologic feature protection policies of the GPGGH. In contrast, a large portion of the severed lot B12/2021 falls within the 120 metre “area of influence” associated with multiple unevaluated wetlands. As a result, the municipality will need to consider the application of this policy accordingly. At this time, LTC is of the opinion that the subject application does not conform to the hydrologic protection policies of the GPGGH with the proposed lot lines as they are currently drawn and the information we have available. As stated above, LTC staff are not able to conduct a wetland site assessment at this time of year to verify the extent of the mapped unevaluated wetlands. In which case, we are deferring to the MNRF mapping as the best available information. LTC therefore advises that a HE should be prepared for the subject application. We have recommended deferral of this application to allow for such an evaluation to be provided. Following which, we would recommend that a restrictive zoning be placed over the vegetation protection zone (VPZ) confirmed through the HE to help ensure that the associated VPZ’s remain in a naturally vegetated state, consistent with the GPGGH. An alternative would be to rearrange the proposed lot lines so that they do not encroach into the 120 metre area of influence associated with multiple currently mapped key hydrologic features. A further alternative, would be to defer the

Page 53 of 119 4.e) Severance Consent Applications B11/2021 and B12/2021 Zoning Amendme...Page 5 of 5

application until such time as a wetland site assessment can be completed by LTC staff (i.e., during the peak growing season). Note: The latter alternative may still result in the requirement for the proponent to proceed with a HE. At this time, there does appear to be room available on the retained lands to situate future development outside of the 120 metre “area of influence”. In order to recognize the hydrologic protection policies of the GPGGH, we are recommending that the 120 metre area of influence surrounding the key hydrologic features on the retained lands be placed in a restrictive zoning (e.g. Environmental Protection or Environmentally Sensitive) in the absence of a HE. This would prevent a future development envelope on the retained lands from being situated within this potentially sensitive area without the evaluation. It is important to note that, LTC would only have a regulatory role over future development and/or site alteration activities within 30 metres of the key hydrologic features, not the entire 120 metre area of influence specified in the GPGGH. If a HE is prepared to support application B12/2021, the consultant could also review the key hydrologic features on the retained lands and determine the necessary VPZ for future development on that parcel and reduce the concern for encroachment into the 120 metre “area of influence” (e.g., the width of the potentially sensitive area may be reduced from 120 metres to 30 metres). Based on the decision and outcome regarding application B12/2021, LTC can offer further comment regarding the retained lands and conformity with the GPGGH hydrologic protection policies at that time.

SUMMARY Given the above comments, it is the opinion of the LTC that: 1. Consistency with Section 3.1 of the PPS has been demonstrated; 2. Ontario Regulation 163/06 does apply to a large portion of the retained lands, and the majority of severed lot B12/2021. There are no regulated features on severed lot B11/2021. Room is available on the proposed building parcels where future development envelopes can be situated to conform to LTC’s regulation policies; 3. The provincial policies of the GPGGH apply to the subject lands. The identified 120 metre “area of influence” associated with mapped key hydrologic features extends over proposed severed parcel B12/2021 and the retained lands. No Hydrologic Evaluation has been provided to support these applications. Application B12/2021 does not currently conform to the hydrologic protection policies of the GPGGH based on the best information available at this time and an HE is recommended. Alternatives include rearranging the proposed lot lines to prevent development (i.e., lot creation) within the 120 metre “area of influence” of the mapped unevaluated wetlands OR allowing time for LTC staff to conduct a wetland site assessment during the appropriate field season for further confirmation of requirements; and, 4. The subject lands are not located within an area that is subject to the policies contained in the Trent Source Protection Plan. LTC would have no objection to the approval of severance application B11/2021 and the associated rezoning. However, it is the recommendation of LTC that B12/2021 be deferred at this time to ensure compliance with Section 4.2.4 of the GPGGH. The above comments reflect our understanding at the time of writing of applicable policies, legislation, and the development proposal. I trust this letter meets your information requirements. However, should you require any further information or have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Please also inform this office of any decision made by Council with regard to these applications. We respectfully request to receive a copy of the decision and notice of any appeals filed.

Sincerely,

Victoria Heffernan, EPt. Assistant Planning Technician 613-394-3915 ext. 238

Date: April 6, 2021 LTC File No. PL-21-060

Liz Stillman Planning Coordinator Municipality of Trent Hills 66 Front Street Campbellford, ON K0L 1L0

RE: Applications for Consent and Zoning By-Law Amendment – CARLAW 5117 CR 25, Municipality of Trent Hills, Northumberland County Concession 5, Part of Lot 14, Geographic Township of Percy Application No.’s: B14/2021 and C06/2021

Dear Ms. Stillman, Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) is in receipt of the Notice of Public Hearing and Meeting concurrently for the above noted property, which was circulated to our office on March 17, 2021 for review and comment in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 1 of our Planning Services Agreement with the municipality. We understand that the purpose of the consent application is to create one (1) new parcel, being approximately 2.50 acres (with existing residential dwelling and outbuildings), from approximately 85.41 acres. The retained portion, being approximately 82.91 acres contains an existing outbuilding and will be eligible for a residential building permit. The severed lands are to be rezoned to Rural Residential (RR) Zone, while the retained lands are to remain as currently zoned; all Environmental Protection (EP) and Environmentally Sensitive (ES) zoning will remain in place. Documents Received and Review by Staff Staff have received and reviewed the following document(s) submitted: ● Cover letter requesting LTC review and comment dated March 17, 2021; ● Notice of Public Hearing (B14/2021); and, ● Notice of Public Meeting (C06/2021). Staff have reviewed these submissions as per our delegated responsibility from the Province to represent provincial interests regarding natural hazards identified in Section 3.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS, 2020) and as a regulatory authority under Ontario Regulation 163/06. LTC has also provided comments as per our Planning Services Agreement with the Municipality of Trent Hills representing LTC’s role in the provision of environmental advisory comments related to natural heritage feature and water resource protection. The applications have also been reviewed through our role as a public body under the Planning Act with consideration for LTC’s Board-approved plan review policies. Finally, LTC has provided advisory comments related to policy applicability and to assist with implementation of the Trent Source Protection Plan under the Clean Water Act.

RECOMMENDATION Please be advised that Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) would have no objection to the approval of these applications. However, the municipality is encouraged to consider expanding the Environmental Protection (EP) zone or the Environmentally Sensitive (ES) zone, whichever is more appropriate, on the retained lands to include the 120 metre area of influence associated with Percy Creek and the unevaluated wetland on the property as key hydrologic features pursuant to “A Place to Grow: Growth plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe” (GPGGH, 2019) to prevent future development from encroaching into this potentially sensitive area without an acceptable Hydrologic Evaluation required to satisfy the hydrologic protection policies (Section 4.2.4) of the Plan.

4.g) Severance Consent Application B14/2021 Zoning Amendment Application...Page 2 of 5

LTC recommends that the landowners and the municipal building officials be provided with a copy of this letter whereby they can be informed of the applicability of Ontario Regulation 163/06 – Lower Trent Conservation Authority: Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses on the subject lands and that, a permit from LTC may be required for future development and/or site alteration prior to the commencement of any on-site work. Landowner(s) will need to contact LTC directly to confirm permitting requirements and restrictions. Refer to the following sections for context.

SITE CHARACTERISTICS Based on existing mapping, satellite imagery, and other available information, we can advise that Percy Creek traverses the subject lands in a west-east orientation, to the south of the existing development envelope, and a large unevaluated wetland extends over the majority of the eastern half of the subject lands and along both sides of the Creek. Large portions of the subject lands are situated within areas that are regulated by LTC pursuant to Ontario Regulation 163/06 – Lower Trent Region Conservation Authority: Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses. Mapping of known and potential areas subject to Ontario Regulation 163/06 is available to the public at the following link: http://www.ltc.on.ca/maps/regulations/ The subject lands are currently designated Mineral Aggregate, Rural, and Greenlands in the Official Plan for the Municipality of Trent Hills and zoned Rural, Environmental Protection, and Environmentally Sensitive.

DELEGATED RESPONSIBILITY AND STATUTORY COMMENTS 1. LTC has reviewed the applications through our delegated responsibility from the Province to represent provincial interests regarding natural hazards identified in Section 3.1 of the PPS. ● Policies 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 of the PPS apply to these applications. Here it is stated: 3.1.1 Development shall generally be directed to areas outside of: b) hazardous lands adjacent to river, stream and small inland lake systems which are impacted by flooding hazards and/or erosion hazards; 3.1.2 Development and site alteration shall not be permitted within: d) a floodway… ● Floodplain mapping is not currently available for Percy Creek in this location and as such, the extent of potential flooding on the property that may be associated with this watercourse is unknown. Based on our review of the characteristics of the watercourse and the contributing drainage area, engineered floodplain mapping would be warranted to define the flooding hazard. In the event that floodplain mapping is conducted, the entire extent of the floodplain would be considered the floodway, where development and site alteration would be prohibited in accordance with the PPS. ● For this particular site, we are satisfied that future development on the retained lands can be located far enough away from the watercourse to alleviate any potential floodplain concerns. There are additional development setbacks that would apply to the wetland extending along both sides of the watercourse under LTC’s regulation policies. The severed lands are already developed with no additional development proposal included in the circulated application materials. LTC will not be requiring engineered floodplain mapping at this time. It is our opinion that the application is consistent with Section 3.1 of the PPS. Floodplain mapping may be required for any further development proposed on the severed parcel.

2. LTC has reviewed the applications as per our responsibilities as a regulatory authority under Ontario Regulation 163/06. This regulation, made under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act, enables conservation authorities to regulate development in or adjacent to river or stream valleys, Great Lakes and inland lake shorelines, watercourses, hazardous lands and wetlands. Development taking place on these lands may require permission from the conservation authority to confirm that the control of flooding, erosion,

Page 68 of 119

4.g) Severance Consent Application B14/2021 Zoning Amendment Application...Page 3 of 5

dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land are not affected. LTC also regulates the alteration to or interference in any way with a watercourse or wetland. ● Portions of both the severed parcel and the retained lands are situated within areas that are subject to Ontario Regulation 163/06. Specifically, as stated above, Percy Creek traverses the subject lands and there is a large mapped unevaluated wetland extending over the retained lands. In accordance with Ontario Regulation 163/06, no person shall: S. 2) Undertake development (including site alterations), or permit another person to undertake development in or on areas within the jurisdiction of the Conservation Authority that are: river or stream valleys; land that could be unsafe for development due to natural occurring processes associated with flooding or erosion; wetlands; or, other areas where development could interfere with the hydrologic function of a wetland including areas within 30 metres of all wetlands other than provincially significant wetlands (which are afforded a 120 metre regulated allowance); OR S. 5) Straighten, change, divert or interfere in any way with the existing channel or a river, creek, stream or watercourse, or change or interfere in any way with a wetland, without the prior written approval of the Authority (i.e., LTC). Any development* within 30 metres of Percy Creek and/or the unevaluated wetland, any activities that would interfere in any way with the wetland on site, and/or any watercourse alterations (e.g., dredging, culvert installation, bridge construction, etc.) would require a permit from our office prior to the commencement of any on-site work. *Development is defined in the Conservation Authorities Act as: i. The construction, re-construction, erection or placing of a building or structure of any kind, ii. Any change to a building or structure that would have the effect of altering the use or potential use of the building or structure, increasing the size of the building or structure or increasing the number of dwelling units in the building or structure; iii. Site grading; or, iv. The temporary or permanent placing, dumping, or removal of any material, originating on the site or elsewhere. ● Unevaluated wetlands have not been evaluated by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) and have not been designated as provincially significant. They have been mapped by the MNRF using the best available information (e.g., air photographs and topographic mapping) but have not been assessed on the ground. The direction that LTC has received from the MNRF is that unevaluated wetlands should be treated as PSWs for land use planning purposes unless demonstrated to be otherwise through an evaluation completed by a certified professional. Based on this direction, LTC has incorporated the MNRF unevaluated wetland mapping into our Ontario Regulation 163/06 screening mapping to identify areas of potential wetland across the watershed. The unevaluated wetlands mapped on the subject lands were not assessed by LTC staff during the review of these applications. We are currently outside of the appropriate timing window for such assessments (i.e., wetland site assessments are generally conducted during the peak growing season, between late-May and the end of October). That being said, we are satisfied that sufficient room is available on the proposed retained lands to situate a future development envelope outside of the current mapped LTC-regulated area. Furthermore, as stated above, the severed lands already have an established development envelope. We have not requested a deferral of these applications to allow for a wetland site assessment to be completed. ● LTC Board-approved policies 6.2 and 6.2.2 for the administration of Ontario Regulation 163/06 states that development and interference shall not be permitted within a wetland nor within 30 metres of the boundaries of any wetland. We would not permit removal of the wetland (e.g., clearing, filling, and/or draining the feature). Landowner(s) are encouraged to contact LTC to discuss this matter directly if they have any questions or concerns. LTC’s permitting policy document is available to the public at the following link: http://www.ltc.on.ca/planning/pag/

4.g) Severance Consent Application B14/2021 Zoning Amendment Application...Page 4 of 5

ADVISORY COMMENTS 3. LTC has reviewed the applications through our responsibilities as a service provider to the Municipality of Trent Hills in that we provide a comprehensive environmental review of applications subject to the provisions of the Planning Act, and other statutes as may apply, through a Planning Services Agreement (Agreement for Planning Act Application Review between Municipality of Trent Hills and Lower Trent Region Conservation Authority, 2018). Specifically, in accordance with the agreement, LTC has also reviewed the applications with consideration for natural heritage feature and water quality and quantity protection policies. ● Percy Creek is considered fish habitat in accordance with provincial guidelines and policy 2.1.8 of the Natural Heritage section of the PPS is triggered by these applications. Here it is stated that: 2.1.8 development and site alteration shall not be permitted on adjacent lands to the natural heritage features and areas identified in policies 2.1.4, 2.1.5, and 2.1.6 (including fish habitat, significant wetlands etc.) unless the ecological function of the adjacent lands has been evaluated and it has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or their ecological functions. The width of “adjacent lands” for fish habitat is 120 metres. This area extends over the parcel to be severed in its entirety, as well as a portion of the retained lands. Based on our review, there remains plenty of room on the retained lands to situate a future development envelope outside of the adjacent lands associated with fish habitat. The severed parcel is already developed, with no further development proposed in the circulated submission materials. It is our opinion that no further evaluation is necessary at this time to demonstrate no negative impacts. 4. LTC has reviewed the applications through our role as a public body, pursuant to the Planning Act. ● We have no further comments to add in this role. 5. LTC has reviewed the applications in terms of the Trent Source Protection Plan, prepared under Clean Water Act, 2006. The Source Protection Plan came into effect on January 1, 2015 and contains policies to protect sources of municipal drinking water from existing and future land use activities. ● The subject lands are not located within an identified drinking water source protection area.

Page 70 of 119

4.g) Severance Consent Application B14/2021 Zoning Amendment Application...Page 5 of 5

features. In addition, there is plenty of room on the retained lands to situate future development outside of the 120 metre area of influence. In order to recognize the hydrologic protection policies of the GPGGH, we are recommending that the 120 metre area f influence surrounding the key hydrologic features on the retained lands be placed in a restrictive zoning (e.g. Environmental Protection) in the absence of a Hydrologic Evaluation. This would prevent a future development envelope on the retained lands from being situated within the area of influence without the required evaluation. LTC is of the opinion that the subject applications can conform to the hydrologic protection policies of the GPGGH but encourages the Municipality to consider using additional site control measures (e.g., zoning) to ensure that future development on the retained lands is situated accordingly. LTC would only have a regulatory role over future development and/or site alteration activities within 30 metres of the key hydrologic features, not the entire 120 metre area of influence specified in the GPGGH.

SUMMARY Given the above comments, it is the opinion of the LTC that: 1. Consistency with Section 3.1 of the PPS has been demonstrated; 2. Ontario Regulation 163/06 does apply to the subject lands. Room is available on the retained lands to situate a future development envelope in a location that can conform to LTC’s regulation policies; 3. The provincial policies of the GPGGH apply to the subject lands; LTC encourages the municipality to include the retained lands in the submitted zoning by-law amendment and place the areas of 120 metre area of influence associated with Percy Creek and the unevaluated wetland in a restrictive zoning; and, 4. The subject lands are not located within an area that is subject to the policies contained in the Trent Source Protection Plan. LTC would have no objection to the approval of these applications, however note that there are sensitive features and areas on the properties that need to be considered accordingly. We have offered some recommendations above regarding the hydrologic protection policies of the GPGGH for the municipality’s consideration. If a Hydrologic Evaluation is deemed to be required by the municipality, LTC staff would be happy to confirm the scope/ Terms of Reference for the study and review the document once completed. Informing landowner(s) of the applicability of Ontario Regulation 163/06 is important and has been reflected in our recommendation above. The above comments reflect our understanding at the time of writing of applicable policies, legislation, and the development proposal. I trust this letter meets your information requirements. However, should you require any further information or have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Please inform this office of any decision made by the municipality with regard to this application. We respectfully request to receive a copy of the decision and notice of any appeals filed. Respectfully submitted,

Leah Stephens Environmental Planner/ Regulations Officer 613-394-3915 ext. 220 cc. Dwayne Campbell, Manager of Planning and Community Development, Northumberland County

Liz Stillman Planning Coordinator Municipality of Trent Hills 66 Front Street Campbellford, ON K0L 1L0

RE: Applications for Consent and Zoning By-Law Amendment – CROWLEY Concession Road 13 West, Concession 12, Part Lot 16 & 17, Municipality of Trent Hills (Geographic - Percy) Application No.’s: B15/2021, B16/2021 & C07/2021

Dear Ms. Stillman, Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) is in receipt of the Notice of Public Hearing and Meeting concurrently for the above noted property, which was revised and recirculated to our office on March 24, 2021 for review and comment in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 1 of our Planning Services Agreement with the municipality. We understand that the purpose of the applications for consent is to sever two lots in total. The proposed western lot (B15/2021) is currently vacant, and will measure 17.69 acres. The proposed eastern lot (B16/2021) is currently vacant, and will measure 12.08 acres. The retained lands will measure 32.23 acres and are also vacant. Each of the resultant lots will be for future residential development. A zoning by-law amendment was submitted concurrently. The current zoning on the subject lands is Rural, Environmental Protection, and Environmentally Sensitive. The zoning for the first severed lot (B15/2021) will remain Rural (RU). The zoning for the second severed lot (B16/2021) will also be Rural Exception to acknowledge the reduced lot size (RU-X). The zoning for the retained portion will remain Rural, Environmental Protection and Environmentally Sensitive. All Environmental Protection and Environmentally Sensitive zoning will remain in place. Documents Received and Review by Staff Staff have received and reviewed the following document(s) submitted: ● Cover letter requesting LTC review and comment dated March 23, 2021; ● Copy of Notice of Public Hearing (B15/2021 and B16/2021); and, ● Copy of Notice of Public Meeting (C07/2021). Staff have reviewed these submissions as per our delegated responsibility from the Province to represent provincial interests regarding natural hazards identified in Section 3.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS, 2020) and as a regulatory authority under Ontario Regulation 163/06. LTC has also provided comments as per our Planning Services Agreement with the Municipality of Trent Hills representing LTC’s role in the provision of environmental advisory comments related to natural heritage feature and water resource protection. The applications have also been reviewed through our role as a public body under the Planning Act as per our LTC Board approved policies. Finally, LTC has provided advisory comments related to policy applicability and to assist with implementation of the Trent Source Protection Plan under the Clean Water Act.

RECOMMENDATION Please be advised that Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) would have no objection to the approval of Severance Application B16/2021 and its associated rezoning. However, it is recommended that Severance Application B15/2021 and associated rezoning be deferred as it has not been demonstrated that the proposal is consistent with the policies outlined in A Place to Grow: Growth plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GPGGH, May 2019) concerning key hydrologic features (Section 4.2.4).

Page 85 of 119 4.h) Severance Consent Applications B15/2021 and B16/2021 Severance Cons...Page 2 of 6

It is recommended that a Hydrologic Evaluation (HE) be prepared for the subject application (B15/2021) as the majority of the proposed parcel and the property lines are within the 120 metre “area of influence” associated with currently mapped key hydrologic features on the subject lands. The purpose of the HE would be to identify an appropriate vegetative protection zone surrounding the features to prevent any future development and/or site alteration within sensitive areas. A restrictive zoning over these sensitive areas would assist in their protection and ensure that the associated vegetation protection zones remain in a naturally vegetated state, consistent with the policies outlined in the GPGGH, specifically Section 4.2.4 and LTC’s regulatory policies concerning wetlands. An alternative would be to rearrange the proposed lot lines so that they do not encroach into the 120 metre “area of influence” associated with multiple currently mapped key hydrologic features. Deferral may also allow for LTC staff to conduct a wetland site assessment during the appropriate field season to further verify the extent of the key hydrologic features and associated requirements under the GPGGH. LTC recommends that the landowners and the municipal building officials be provided with a copy of this letter whereby they can be informed of the applicability of Ontario Regulation 163/06 – Lower Trent Conservation Authority: Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses on the subject lands and that, a permit from LTC may be required for future development and/or site alteration prior to the commencement of any on-site work. Landowner(s) will need to contact LTC directly to confirm permitting requirements and restrictions. Refer to the following sections for context.

SITE CHARACTERISTICS Based on existing mapping, satellite imagery, and other available information, a watercourse runs through the centre of the subject lands, specifically the retained lands, and eventually drains into the Trent River. In addition, there is a small unevaluated wetland that is adjacent to the watercourse in the northern portion of the subject lands. Lastly, and the Barry Lake Complex Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) is on the adjacent lands to the south on the opposite side of Concession Road 13 West. There are no regulated features on the parcels to be severed. Large portions of the subject lands are situated within areas that are regulated by LTC pursuant to Ontario Regulation 163/06 – Lower Trent Region Conservation Authority: Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses. Mapping of known and potential areas subject to Ontario Regulation 163/06 is available to the public at the following link: http://www.ltc.on.ca/maps/regulations/ The subject lands are currently designated Rural and Greenlands in the Official Plan for the Municipality of Trent Hills and zoned Rural, Environmental Protection, and Environmentally Sensitive.

Page 86 of 119 4.h) Severance Consent Applications B15/2021 and B16/2021 Severance Cons...Page 3 of 6

itself as a “key hydrologic feature” pursuant to A Place to Grow: Growth plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GPGGH, 2019) on the subject lands would be sufficient to address any flooding hazard concerns we may have. LTC will not be requiring engineered floodplain mapping at this time. ● It is our opinion that the application is consistent with Section 3.1 of the PPS. There are additional levels of protection afforded to this feature via LTC’s policies for the administration of Ontario Regulation 163/06 and the policies of the GPGGH (details contained within the “Additional Advisory Comments” section of this letter). 2. LTC has reviewed the applications as per our responsibilities as a regulatory authority under Ontario Regulation 163/06. This regulation, made under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act, enables conservation authorities to regulate development in or adjacent to river or stream valleys, Great Lakes and inland lake shorelines, watercourses, hazardous lands and wetlands. Development taking place on these lands may require permission from the conservation authority to confirm that the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land are not affected. LTC also regulates the alteration to or interference in any way with a watercourse or wetland. ● Current available screening mapping includes a watercourse, a small unevaluated wetland, and the Barry Lake Complex PSW on the subject lands. Please see attached map for details. As a result, portions of the subject lands are situated within areas that are subject to Ontario Regulation 163/06. In accordance with Ontario Regulation 163/06, no person shall: S. 2) Undertake development (including site alterations), or permit another person to undertake development in or on areas within the jurisdiction of the Conservation Authority that are: river or stream valleys; land that could be unsafe for development due to natural occurring processes associated with flooding and/or erosion; wetlands; or, other areas where development could interfere with the hydrologic function of a wetland including areas within 120 metres of a Provincially Significant Wetland and 30 metres of all other wetlands; OR S. 5) Straighten, change, divert or interfere in any way with the existing channel or a river, creek, stream or watercourse; change or interfere in any way with a wetland; without the prior written approval of the Authority (i.e., LTC). Any development* within 15 metres of the watercourse and/or any watercourse or shoreline alterations, within 30 metres of the unevaluated wetland, 120 metres of a Provincially Significant Wetland, and/or any activities that would interfere in any way with the wetland on site would require a permit from our office prior to the commencement of any on-site work. *Development is defined in the Conservation Authorities Act as: i. The construction, re-construction, erection or placing of a building or structure of any kind, ii. Any change to a building or structure that would have the effect of altering the use or potential use of the building or structure, increasing the size of the building or structure or increasing the number of dwelling units in the building or structure; iii. Site grading; or, iv. The temporary or permanent placing, dumping, or removal of any material, originating on the site or elsewhere. LTC Board-approved policies Sections 6.2 and 6.2.2 for the administration of Ontario Regulation 163/06 state that development and interference shall not be permitted within a wetland nor within 30 metres of the boundary of the wetland. We would not permit the removal of any wetland feature (e.g., clearing or draining the feature) and a permit would not be obtainable to develop on the proposed retained lands within 30 metres of any confirmed wetland. It is noted that unevaluated wetlands have not been evaluated by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) and have not been designated as provincially significant. They have been mapped by the MNRF using the best available information (e.g., air photographs and topographic mapping) but have not been assessed on the ground. The direction that LTC has received from the MNRF is that unevaluated wetlands should be treated as PSWs for land use planning purposes unless demonstrated to be otherwise through an

Page 87 of 119 4.h) Severance Consent Applications B15/2021 and B16/2021 Severance Cons...Page 4 of 6

evaluation completed by a certified professional. The extent of the unevaluated wetland mapped on the subject lands cannot be verified at this time of year and a wetland site assessment has not been completed by LTC staff as part of this review. Generally, wetland site assessments can only be completed during the peak growing season (i.e., late May through to the end of October). In the absence of field-verified information, we would defer to the boundary mapped by the MNRF as the best available information. Based on aerial photographs, LTC staff can see that the wetland feature exists. The consultant retained by the proponent to conduct the Hydrologic Evaluation required pursuant to the Growth Plan (see ‘Additional Advisory Comments’ section of this letter) will need to verify the extent of the wetland as part of the evaluation for the eastern severed parcel (B15/2021). Alternatively, the proponent may request LTC staff to conduct this assessment during the appropriate field season before proceeding with retaining a consultant to prepare the Hydrologic Evaluation. This would also require a deferral of the said application as included in our recommendations above. Landowner(s) are encouraged to contact LTC to discuss this matter directly if they have any questions or concerns. LTC’s permitting policy document is available to the public at the following link: http://www.ltc.on.ca/planning/pag/

ADVISORY COMMENTS 3. LTC has reviewed the applications through our responsibilities as a service provider to the Municipality of Trent Hills in that we provide a comprehensive environmental review of applications subject to the provisions of the Planning Act, and other statutes as may apply, through a Planning Services Agreement (Agreement for Planning Act Application Review between Municipality of Trent Hills and Lower Trent Region Conservation Authority, 2018). Specifically, in accordance with the agreement, LTC has also reviewed the applications with consideration for natural heritage feature and water quality and quantity protection policies. ● The Barry Lake Complex PSW extends onto the southern half of the subject property, specifically the retained lands. Policy 2.1.8 of the Natural Heritage section of the PPS applies to this application. Here it is stated that: 2.1.8 development and site alteration shall not be permitted on adjacent lands to the natural heritage features and areas identified in policies 2.1.4, 2.1.5, and 2.1.6 (including fish habitat, significant wetlands etc.) unless the ecological function of the adjacent lands has been evaluated and it has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or their ecological functions. The width of “adjacent lands” for significant wetlands is 120 metres. This area will extend over a section of the frontage of the proposed severed parcel B16/2021. However, there is plenty of room on the subject lands to situated future development outside of the adjacent lands of the PSW. In addition, Concession 13 West separates the proposed parcels from the PSW, and as a result, there are no anticipated impacts to the PSW due to future development on the subject lands. As a result, LTC has no concerns from a natural heritage perspective for the subject applications. 4. LTC has reviewed the application as a public commenting body, pursuant to the Planning Act. ● We have no further comments to add in this role. 5. LTC has reviewed the application in terms of the Trent Source Protection Plan, prepared under Clean Water Act, 2006. The Source Protection Plan came into effect on January 1, 2015 and contains policies to protect sources of municipal drinking water from existing and future land use activities. ● The subject lands are not located within an identified drinking water source protection area.

Page 88 of 119 4.h) Severance Consent Applications B15/2021 and B16/2021 Severance Cons...Page 5 of 6

under the GPGGH definitions. Outside of defined settlement areas, for development or site alteration proposals within 120 metres of any key hydrologic feature (e.g., a wetland), the GPGGH requires the completion of a Hydrologic Evaluation by a qualified professional “that identifies a vegetation protection zone, which: a. Is of sufficient width to protect the key hydrologic feature and its functions from the impacts of the proposed change; b. Is established to achieve and be maintained as natural self-sustaining vegetation; and, c. For key hydrologic features, is no less than 30 metres measured from the outside boundary of the key hydrologic feature.” A large portion of the subject lands falls within the 120 metre area of influence associated with the mapped watercourse that runs through the centre of the subject lands and the small unevaluated wetland. This includes the rear portion of the eastern severed lot (B15/2021) and the majority of the retained lands. Lot creation is considered development under the Planning Act. A HE would therefore be required to support the application pursuant to Section 4.2.4 of the GPGGH. A HE was not provided to support these applications and we are not aware that one has been completed to date. Severed lot B16/2021 is located entirely outside of the 120 metre “area of influence” associated with the mapped watercourse and unevaluated wetland. However, the 120 metre “area of influence” associated with the Barry Lake Complex PSW does extend onto a portion of the proposed parcel along the frontage of the lot. However, as Concession 13 West separates the PSW from the proposed parcel, it is anticipated that there will be no negative impacts to the key hydrologic feature due to future development. As a result, LTC has no concerns with application B16/2021 and is of the opinion that the subject severance and associated rezoning conforms to the hydrologic feature protection policies of the GPGGH. In contrast, a large portion of the severed lot B15/2021 falls within the 120 metre “area of influence” associated with the watercourse and unevaluated wetland. As a result, the municipality will need to consider the application of this policy accordingly. At this time, LTC is of the opinion that the subject application does not conform to the hydrologic protection policies of the GPGGH with the proposed lot lines as they are currently drawn and the information we have available. As stated above, LTC staff are not able to conduct a wetland site assessment at this time of year to verify the extent of the mapped wetland or delineate the watercourse. In which case, we are deferring to the MNRF mapping as the best available information. LTC therefore advises that a HE should be prepared for the subject application. We have recommended deferral of this application at this time to allow for such an evaluation to be provided. Following which, we would recommend that a restrictive zoning be placed over the vegetation protection zone (VPZ) confirmed through the HE to help ensure that the associated VPZ’s remain in a naturally vegetated state, consistent with the GPGGH. An alternative would be to rearrange the proposed lot lines so that they do not encroach into the 120 metre “area of influence” associated with multiple currently mapped key hydrologic features. A further alternative, would be to defer the application until such time as a wetland site assessment can be completed by LTC staff (i.e., during the peak growing season). Note: The latter alternative may still result in the requirement for the proponent to proceed with a HE. At this time, there does appear to be room available on the retained lands to situate future development outside of the 120 metre “area of influence”. However, in order to recognize the hydrologic protection policies of the GPGGH, we are recommending that the 120 metre area of influence surrounding the key hydrologic features on the retained lands be placed in a restrictive zoning (e.g. Environmental Protection or Environmentally Sensitive) in the absence of a HE. This would prevent a future development envelope on the retained lands from being situated within this potentially sensitive area without the evaluation. It is important to note that, LTC would only have a regulatory role over future development and/or site alteration activities within 30 metres of the unevaluated wetland and 15 metres from the stable top of bank of the watercourse, not necessarily the entire 120 metre area of influence specified in the GPGGH. If a HE is prepared to support application B15/2021, the consultant could also review the key hydrologic features on the retained lands and determine the necessary VPZ for future development on that parcel and reduce the concern for encroachment into the 120 metre “area of influence” (e.g., the width of the potentially sensitive area may be reduced from 120 metres to 30 metres). Based on the decision and outcome regarding application B15/2021, LTC can offer further comment regarding the retained lands and conformity with the GPGGH hydrologic protection policies at that time.

Page 89 of 119 4.h) Severance Consent Applications B15/2021 and B16/2021 Severance Cons...Page 6 of 6

SUMMARY Given the above comments, it is the opinion of the LTC that: 1. Consistency with Section 3.1 of the PPS has been demonstrated; 2. Ontario Regulation 163/06 does apply to a large portion of the retained lands and a portion of the eastern severed parcel B16/2021 ; 3. The provincial policies of the GPGGH apply to the subject lands. The identified 120 metre “area of influence” associated with mapped key hydrologic features extends over proposed severed parcel B15/2021 and the retained lands. No Hydrologic Evaluation has been provided to support these applications. Application B15/2021 does not currently conform to the hydrologic protection policies of the GPGGH based on the best information available at this time and an HE is recommended. Alternatives include rearranging the proposed lot lines to prevent development (i.e., lot creation) within the 120 metre “area of influence” of the mapped unevaluated wetlands OR allowing time for LTC staff to conduct a wetland site assessment during the appropriate field season for further confirmation of requirements; and, 4. The subject lands are not located within an area that is subject to the policies contained in the Trent Source Protection Plan. LTC would have no objection to the approval of severance application B16/2021 and the associated rezoning. However, it is the recommendation of LTC that B15/2021 be deferred at this time to ensure compliance with Section 4.2.4 of the GPGGH. If an Hydrologic Evaluation is deemed to be required by the municipality, LTC staff would be happy to confirm the scope/ Terms of Reference for the study and review the document once completed. Informing landowner(s) of the applicability of Ontario Regulation 163/06 is important and has been reflected in our recommendation above. The above comments reflect our understanding at the time of writing of applicable policies, legislation, and the development proposal. I trust this letter meets your information requirements. However, should you require any further information or have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Please inform this office of any decision made by the municipality with regard to this application. We respectfully request to receive a copy of the decision and notice of any appeals filed. Sincerely,

Victoria Heffernan, EPt. Assistant Planning Technician 613-394-3915 ext. 238

Liz Stillman Planning Coordinator Municipality of Trent Hills 66 Front Street Campbellford, ON K0L 1L0

Dear Ms. Stillman, Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) is in receipt of the Notice of Public Hearing and Meeting concurrently for the above noted property, which was revised and recirculated to our office on March 24, 2021 for review and comment in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 1 of our Planning Services Agreement with the municipality. We understand that the purpose of the applications for consent is to sever two lots in total. The proposed western lot (B17/2021) is currently vacant, and will measure 5.23 acres. The proposed eastern lot (B18/2021) is currently vacant, and will measure 7.95 acres. The retained lands will measure 194.82 acres and are also vacant. Each of the resultant lots will be for future residential development. A zoning by-law amendment was submitted concurrently. The current zoning on the subject lands is Rural, Environmental Protection, and Environmentally Sensitive. The proposed zoning for the first severed lot (B17/2021) will be Rural Residential (RR). The zoning for the second severed lot (B18/2021) will also be Rural Residential (RR) and Environmentally Sensitive (ES). The zoning for the retained portion will remain Rural, Environmental Protection and Environmentally Sensitive. All Environmental Protection and Environmentally Sensitive zoning will remain in place. Documents Received and Review by Staff Staff have received and reviewed the following document(s) submitted: ● Cover letter requesting LTC review and comment dated March 23, 2021; ● Copy of Notice of Public Hearing (B17/2021 and B18/2021); and, ● Copy of Notice of Public Meeting (C07/2021). Staff have reviewed these submissions as per our delegated responsibility from the Province to represent provincial interests regarding natural hazards identified in Section 3.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS, 2020) and as a regulatory authority under Ontario Regulation 163/06. LTC has also provided comments as per our Planning Services Agreement with the Municipality of Trent Hills representing LTC’s role in the provision of environmental advisory comments related to natural heritage feature and water resource protection. The applications have also been reviewed through our role as a public body under the Planning Act as per our LTC Board approved policies. Finally, LTC has provided advisory comments related to policy applicability and to assist with implementation of the Trent Source Protection Plan under the Clean Water Act.

RECOMMENDATION Please be advised that Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) would have no objection to the approval of Severance Application B17/2021 and its associated rezoning. However, it is recommended that Severance Application B18/2021 and associated rezoning be deferred as it has not been demonstrated that the proposal is consistent with the policies outlined in A Place to Grow: Growth plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GPGGH, May 2019) concerning key hydrologic features (Section 4.2.4).

It is recommended that a Hydrologic Evaluation (HE) be prepared for the subject application (B18/2021) as the majority of the proposed parcel and the property lines are within the 120 metre “area of influence” associated with currently mapped key hydrologic features on the subject lands. The purpose of the HE would be to identify an appropriate vegetative protection zone surrounding the features to prevent any future development and/or site alteration within sensitive areas. A restrictive zoning over these sensitive areas would assist in their protection and ensure that the associated vegetation protection zones remain in a naturally vegetated state, consistent with the policies outlined in the GPGGH, specifically Section 4.2.4 and LTC’s regulatory policies concerning wetlands. An alternative would be to rearrange the proposed lot lines so that they do not encroach into the 120 metre “area of influence” associated with multiple currently mapped key hydrologic features. Deferral may also allow for LTC staff to conduct a wetland site assessment during the appropriate field season to further verify the extent of the key hydrologic features and associated requirements under the GPGGH. LTC recommends that the landowners and the municipal building officials be provided with a copy of this letter whereby they can be informed of the applicability of Ontario Regulation 163/06 – Lower Trent Conservation Authority: Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses on the subject lands and that, a permit from LTC may be required for future development and/or site alteration prior to the commencement of any on-site work. Landowner(s) will need to contact LTC directly to confirm permitting requirements and restrictions. Refer to the following sections for context.

SITE CHARACTERISTICS Based on existing mapping, satellite imagery, and other available information, a watercourse runs through the rear portion of the property. In addition, there are multiple unevaluated wetlands and the Barry Lake Complex Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) that extend onto the subject property and encompass the mapped watercourse. There are no regulated features on the parcels to be severed. Large portions of the subject lands are situated within areas that are regulated by LTC pursuant to Ontario Regulation 163/06 – Lower Trent Region Conservation Authority: Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses. Mapping of known and potential areas subject to Ontario Regulation 163/06 is available to the public at the following link: http://www.ltc.on.ca/maps/regulations/ The subject lands are currently designated Rural and Greenlands in the Official Plan for the Municipality of Trent Hills and zoned Rural, Environmental Protection, and Environmentally Sensitive.

Page 92 of 119 4.h) Severance Consent Applications B15/2021 and B16/2021 Severance Cons...Page 3 of 6

setbacks associated with the wetlands and watercourse itself as a “key hydrologic feature” pursuant to A Place to Grow: Growth plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GPGGH, 2019) on the subject lands would be sufficient to address any flooding hazard concerns we may have. LTC will not be requiring engineered floodplain mapping at this time. ● It is our opinion that the application is consistent with Section 3.1 of the PPS. There are additional levels of protection afforded to this feature via LTC’s policies for the administration of Ontario Regulation 163/06 and the policies of the GPGGH (details contained within the “Additional Advisory Comments” section of this letter). 2. LTC has reviewed the applications as per our responsibilities as a regulatory authority under Ontario Regulation 163/06. This regulation, made under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act, enables conservation authorities to regulate development in or adjacent to river or stream valleys, Great Lakes and inland lake shorelines, watercourses, hazardous lands and wetlands. Development taking place on these lands may require permission from the conservation authority to confirm that the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land are not affected. LTC also regulates the alteration to or interference in any way with a watercourse or wetland. ● Current available screening mapping includes a watercourse, multiple unevaluated wetlands, and the Barry Lake Complex PSW on the subject lands. Please see attached map for details. As a result, portions of the subject lands are situated within areas that are subject to Ontario Regulation 163/06. In accordance with Ontario Regulation 163/06, no person shall: S. 2) Undertake development (including site alterations), or permit another person to undertake development in or on areas within the jurisdiction of the Conservation Authority that are: river or stream valleys; land that could be unsafe for development due to natural occurring processes associated with flooding and/or erosion; wetlands; or, other areas where development could interfere with the hydrologic function of a wetland including areas within 120 metres of a Provincially Significant Wetland and 30 metres of all other wetlands; OR S. 5) Straighten, change, divert or interfere in any way with the existing channel or a river, creek, stream or watercourse; change or interfere in any way with a wetland; without the prior written approval of the Authority (i.e., LTC). Any development* within 30 metres of the unevaluated wetland, 120 metres of a Provincially Significant Wetland, and/or any activities that would interfere in any way with the wetlands on site would require a permit from our office prior to the commencement of any on-site work. *Development is defined in the Conservation Authorities Act as: i. The construction, re-construction, erection or placing of a building or structure of any kind, ii. Any change to a building or structure that would have the effect of altering the use or potential use of the building or structure, increasing the size of the building or structure or increasing the number of dwelling units in the building or structure; iii. Site grading; or, iv. The temporary or permanent placing, dumping, or removal of any material, originating on the site or elsewhere. LTC Board-approved policies Sections 6.2 and 6.2.2 for the administration of Ontario Regulation 163/06 state that development and interference shall not be permitted within a wetland nor within 30 metres of the boundary of the wetland. We would not permit the removal of any wetland feature (e.g., clearing or draining the feature) and a permit would not be obtainable to develop on the proposed retained lands within 30 metres of any confirmed wetland. It is noted that unevaluated wetlands have not been evaluated by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) and have not been designated as provincially significant. They have been mapped by the MNRF using the best available information (e.g., air photographs and topographic mapping) but have not been assessed on the ground. The direction that LTC has received from the MNRF is that unevaluated wetlands

Page 93 of 119 4.h) Severance Consent Applications B15/2021 and B16/2021 Severance Cons...Page 4 of 6

should be treated as PSWs for land use planning purposes unless demonstrated to be otherwise through an evaluation completed by a certified professional. The extent of the unevaluated wetlands mapped on the subject lands cannot be verified at this time of year and a wetland site assessment has not been completed by LTC staff as part of this review. Generally, wetland site assessments can only be completed during the peak growing season (i.e., late May through to the end of October). In the absence of field-verified information, we would defer to the boundary mapped by the MNRF as the best available information. The consultant retained by the proponent to conduct the Hydrologic Evaluation required pursuant to the Growth Plan (see ‘Additional Advisory Comments’ section of this letter) will need to verify the extent of the wetland as part of the evaluation for the eastern severed parcel (B18/2021). Alternatively, the proponent may request LTC staff to conduct this assessment during the appropriate field season before proceeding with retaining a consultant to prepare the Hydrologic Evaluation. This would also require a deferral of the said application as included in our recommendations above. Landowner(s) are encouraged to contact LTC to discuss this matter directly if they have any questions or concerns. LTC’s permitting policy document is available to the public at the following link: http://www.ltc.on.ca/planning/pag/

ADVISORY COMMENTS 3. LTC has reviewed the applications through our responsibilities as a service provider to the Municipality of Trent Hills in that we provide a comprehensive environmental review of applications subject to the provisions of the Planning Act, and other statutes as may apply, through a Planning Services Agreement (Agreement for Planning Act Application Review between Municipality of Trent Hills and Lower Trent Region Conservation Authority, 2018). Specifically, in accordance with the agreement, LTC has also reviewed the applications with consideration for natural heritage feature and water quality and quantity protection policies. ● The Barry Lake Complex PSW extends onto the southern half of the subject property, specifically the retained lands. Policy 2.1.8 of the Natural Heritage section of the PPS applies to this application. Here it is stated that: 2.1.8 development and site alteration shall not be permitted on adjacent lands to the natural heritage features and areas identified in policies 2.1.4, 2.1.5, and 2.1.6 (including fish habitat, significant wetlands etc.) unless the ecological function of the adjacent lands has been evaluated and it has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or their ecological functions. The width of “adjacent lands” for significant wetlands is 120 metres. This area will extend over a large portion of the retained lands. However, there is plenty of room on the retained lands to situated future development outside of the adjacent lands of the PSW. In addition, the adjacent lands for the PSW does not extend over the proposed severed parcels. As a result, LTC has no concerns from a natural heritage perspective for the subject applications. 4. LTC has reviewed the application as a public commenting body, pursuant to the Planning Act. ● We have no further comments to add in this role. 5. LTC has reviewed the application in terms of the Trent Source Protection Plan, prepared under Clean Water Act, 2006. The Source Protection Plan came into effect on January 1, 2015 and contains policies to protect sources of municipal drinking water from existing and future land use activities. ● The subject lands are not located within an identified drinking water source protection area.

Page 94 of 119 4.h) Severance Consent Applications B15/2021 and B16/2021 Severance Cons...Page 5 of 6

120 metres of any key hydrologic feature (e.g., a wetland), the GPGGH requires the completion of a Hydrologic Evaluation by a qualified professional “that identifies a vegetation protection zone, which: a. Is of sufficient width to protect the key hydrologic feature and its functions from the impacts of the proposed change; b. Is established to achieve and be maintained as natural self-sustaining vegetation; and, c. For key hydrologic features, is no less than 30 metres measured from the outside boundary of the key hydrologic feature.” A large portion of the subject lands falls within the 120 metre area of influence associated with the mapped wetlands. This includes the rear portion of the eastern severed lot (B18/2021) and the majority of the retained lands. Lot creation is considered development under the Planning Act. A HE would therefore be required to support the application pursuant to Section 4.2.4 of the GPGGH. A HE was not provided to support these applications and we are not aware that one has been completed to date. Severed lot B17/2021 is located entirely outside of the 120 metre “area of influence” associated with the mapped unevaluated wetlands and the Barry Lake Complex PSW on the subject lands. As a result, LTC has no concerns with application B17/2021 and is of the opinion that the subject severance and associated rezoning conforms to the hydrologic feature protection policies of the GPGGH. In contrast, a large portion of the severed lot B18/2021 falls within the 120 metre “area of influence” associated with multiple unevaluated wetlands. As a result, the municipality will need to consider the application of this policy accordingly. At this time, LTC is of the opinion that the subject application does not conform to the hydrologic protection policies of the GPGGH with the proposed lot lines as they are currently drawn and the information we have available. As stated above, LTC staff are not able to conduct a wetland site assessment at this time of year to verify the extent of the mapped wetlands. In which case, we are deferring to the MNRF mapping as the best available information. LTC therefore advises that a HE should be prepared for the subject application. We have recommended deferral of this application to allow for such an evaluation to be provided. Following which, we would recommend that a restrictive zoning be placed over the vegetation protection zone (VPZ) confirmed through the HE to help ensure that the associated VPZ’s remain in a naturally vegetated state, consistent with the GPGGH. An alternative would be to rearrange the proposed lot lines so that they do not encroach into the 120 metre “area of influence” associated with multiple currently mapped key hydrologic features. A further alternative, would be to defer the application until such time as a wetland site assessment can be completed by LTC staff (i.e., during the peak growing season). Note: The latter alternative may still result in the requirement for the proponent to proceed with a HE. At this time, there does appear to be room available on the retained lands to situate future development outside of the 120 metre “area of influence”. In order to recognize the hydrologic protection policies of the GPGGH, we are recommending that the 120 metre area of influence surrounding the key hydrologic features on the retained lands be placed in a restrictive zoning (e.g. Environmental Protection or Environmentally Sensitive) in the absence of a HE. This would prevent a future development envelope on the retained lands from being situated within this potentially sensitive area without the evaluation. It is important to note that, LTC would only have a regulatory role over future development and/or site alteration activities within 30 metres of the unevaluated wetlands and 120 metres of the PSW, not necessarily the entire 120 metre area of influence specified in the GPGGH. If a HE is prepared to support application B18/2021, the consultant could also review the key hydrologic features on the retained lands and determine the necessary VPZ for future development on that parcel and reduce the concern for encroachment into the 120 metre “area of influence” (e.g., the width of the potentially sensitive area may be reduced from 120 metres to 30 metres). Based on the decision and outcome regarding application B18/2021, LTC can offer further comment regarding the retained lands and conformity with the GPGGH hydrologic protection policies at that time.

Page 95 of 119 4.h) Severance Consent Applications B15/2021 and B16/2021 Severance Cons...Page 6 of 6

3. The provincial policies of the GPGGH apply to the subject lands. The identified 120 metre “area of influence” associated with mapped key hydrologic features extends over proposed severed parcel B18/2021 and the retained lands. No Hydrologic Evaluation has been provided to support these applications. Application B18/2021 does not currently conform to the hydrologic protection policies of the GPGGH based on the best information available at this time and an HE is recommended. Alternatives include rearranging the proposed lot lines to prevent development (i.e., lot creation) within the 120 metre “area of influence” of the mapped unevaluated wetlands OR allowing time for LTC staff to conduct a wetland site assessment during the appropriate field season for further confirmation of requirements; and, 4. The subject lands are not located within an area that is subject to the policies contained in the Trent Source Protection Plan. LTC would have no objection to the approval of severance application B17/2021 and the associated rezoning. However, it is the recommendation of LTC that B18/2021 be deferred at this time to ensure compliance with Section 4.2.4 of the GPGGH. If an Hydrologic Evaluation is deemed to be required by the municipality, LTC staff would be happy to confirm the scope/ Terms of Reference for the study and review the document once completed. Informing landowner(s) of the applicability of Ontario Regulation 163/06 is important and has been reflected in our recommendation above. The above comments reflect our understanding at the time of writing of applicable policies, legislation, and the development proposal. I trust this letter meets your information requirements. However, should you require any further information or have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Please inform this office of any decision made by the municipality with regard to this application. We respectfully request to receive a copy of the decision and notice of any appeals filed. Sincerely,

Victoria Heffernan, EPt. Assistant Planning Technician 613-394-3915 ext. 238

Liz Stillman Planning Coordinator Municipality of Trent Hills 66 Front Street Campbellford, ON K0L 1L0

RE: Application for Consent and Zoning By-Law Amendment – PATTERSON for ROOT & BUTLER 340 Concession 2 West, Concession 2, Part Lots 10 & 11, Municipality of Trent Hills (Geographic - Percy) Application No.’s: B19/2021 and C08/2021

Dear Ms. Stillman, Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) is in receipt of the above noted applications, which were circulated to our office on March 24, 2021 for review and comment in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 1 of our Planning Services Agreement with the municipality. We understand that the purpose of the application for consent is to sever a vacant parcel in the southeast corner of the subject lands measuring 4.29 acres for future residential development. The retained lands, being approximately 69.0 acres, contains the existing residential dwelling and outbuildings. A zoning by-law amendment was submitted concurrently in order to rezone the severed parcel from Rural (RU), Environmental Protection (EP), and Environmentally Sensitive (ES) to Rural Residential (RR) zone. The retained lands will remain RU, EP and ES. All EP and ES zoning will remain in place. Documents Received and Review by Staff Staff have received and reviewed the following document(s) submitted; ● Copy of Consent Application form, file no. B19/2021; and, ● Copy of Zoning By-Law Amendment Application, file no. C08/2021. Staff have reviewed these submissions as per our delegated responsibility from the Province to represent provincial interests regarding natural hazards identified in Section 3.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS, 2020) and as a regulatory authority under Ontario Regulation 163/06. LTC has also provided comments as per our Planning Services Agreement with the Municipality of Trent Hills representing LTC’s role in the provision of environmental advisory comments related to natural heritage feature and water resource protection. The applications have also been reviewed through our role as a public body under the Planning Act as per our LTC Board approved policies. Finally, LTC has provided advisory comments related to policy applicability and to assist with implementation of the Trent Source Protection Plan under the Clean Water Act.

RECOMMENDATION Please be advised that Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) would have no objection to the approval of the subject applications provided that a Hydrologic Evaluation be prepared for the subject application as the majority of the western portion of the proposed severed parcel and the property lines are within the 120 metre “area of influence” associated with currently mapped key hydrologic features on the subject lands. The purpose of the HE would be to identify an appropriate vegetative protection zone surrounding the features to prevent any future development and/or site alteration within sensitive areas. A restrictive zoning over these sensitive areas would assist in their protection and ensure that the associated “areas of influence” remain in a naturally vegetated state, consistent with the policies outlined in the GPGGH, specifically Section 4.2.4 and LTC’s regulatory policies concerning unevaluated

Page 106 of 119 4.i) Severance Consent Application B19/2021 Zoning Amendment Application...Page 2 of 6

wetlands. An alternative would be to rearrange the proposed lot lines so that they do not encroach into the 120 metre “area of influence” associated with the multiple currently mapped key hydrologic features. It is requested that the landowner and building department at the Municipality have been provided with a copy of this letter whereby they are informed that Ontario Regulation 163/06 – Lower Trent Conservation Authority: Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses does apply to the subject lands and that, written approval from LTC may be required for future development and/or site alteration prior to the commencement of any on-site work. Landowner(s) will need to contact LTC directly to confirm permitting requirements and restrictions. Refer to the following sections for context.

SITE CHARACTERISTICS Existing mapping, satellite imagery, and air photos indicate that there are two watercourses, specifically tributaries of Burnley Creek, that converge in the centre of the property and then flow northeast to connect with the main branch of Burnley Creek on adjacent properties further north. In addition, there are multiple unevaluated wetlands on the subject lands, specifically the retained lands, that partially encompass portions of the watercourse branches that run through the property. There are no features or regulated areas on the proposed severed parcel. Portions of the subject lands are situated within areas that are regulated by LTC pursuant to Ontario Regulation 163/06 – Lower Trent Region Conservation Authority: Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses. Mapping of known and potential areas subject to Ontario Regulation 163/06 is available to the public at the following link: http://www.ltc.on.ca/maps/regulations/

DELEGATED RESPONSIBILITY AND STATUTORY COMMENTS 1. LTC has reviewed the applications through our delegated responsibility from the Province to represent provincial interests regarding natural hazards identified in Section 3.1 of the PPS. ● Policies 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 of the PPS apply to this application. Here it is stated: 3.1.1 Development shall generally be directed to areas outside of: b) hazardous lands adjacent to river, stream and small inland lake systems which are impacted by flooding hazards and/or erosion hazards; 3.1.2 Development and site alteration shall not be permitted within: d) a floodway… ● Floodplain mapping is not currently available for the mapped watercourses on the the subject property and as such, the extent of potential flooding on the property that may be associated with these watercourses are unknown. Based on our review of the characteristics of the watercourses and the contributing drainage areas, engineered floodplain mapping would not be warranted to define the flooding hazard. In the event that floodplain mapping is conducted, the entire extent of the floodplain would be considered the floodway, where development and site alteration would be prohibited in accordance with the PPS. ● For this particular site, we are satisfied that any future development on the retained lands can be located far enough away from the watercourses to alleviate any potential floodplain concerns. In addition, the retained lands are already developed and there are no watercourses on the proposed severed parcel. LTC will not be requiring engineered floodplain mapping at this time. It is our opinion that the application is consistent with Section 3.1 of the PPS. 2. LTC has reviewed the applications as per our responsibilities as a regulatory authority under Ontario Regulation 163/06. This regulation, made under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act, enables conservation authorities to regulate development in or adjacent to river or stream valleys, Great Lakes and inland lake shorelines, watercourses, hazardous lands and wetlands. Development taking place on these lands may require permission from the conservation authority to confirm that the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land are not affected. LTC also regulates the alteration to or interference in any way with a watercourse or wetland.

● Portions of the subject lands are situated within areas that are subject to Ontario Regulation 163/06. Specifically, as stated above, there are watercourses that traverse sections of the property, specifically the retained lands. It is possible that the watercourses extend farther than what is shown in currently available mapping. In addition, there are multiple unevaluated wetlands that encompass portions of the watercourses. There are no regulated features on the severed parcel. In accordance with Ontario Regulation 163/06, no person shall: S. 2) Undertake development (including site alterations), or permit another person to undertake development in or on areas within the jurisdiction of the Conservation Authority that are: river or stream valleys; land that could be unsafe for development due to natural occurring processes associated with flooding or erosion; wetlands; or, other areas where development could interfere with the hydrologic function of a wetland including areas within 30 metres of all wetlands other than provincially significant wetlands (“PSWs”, which are granted a 120 metre wide regulated allowance); OR S. 5) Straighten, change, divert or interfere in any way with the existing channel or a river, creek, stream or watercourse, or change or interfere in any way with a wetland; without the prior written approval of the Authority (i.e., LTC). Any development* within 15 metres of the stable top of bank of the watercourses or within 30 metres of an unevaluated wetland, any watercourse alterations (e.g., dredging, culvert installation, bridge construction, etc.) and/or any activities that would interfere in any way with the wetland would require a permit from our office prior to the commencement of on-site work. *Development is defined in the Conservation Authorities Act as: i. The construction, re-construction, erection or placing of a building or structure of any kind, ii. Any change to a building or structure that would have the effect of altering the use or potential use of the building or structure, increasing the size of the building or structure or increasing the number of dwelling units in the building or structure; iii. Site grading; or, iv. The temporary or permanent placing, dumping, or removal of any material, originating on the site or elsewhere. ● LTC Board-approved policies Sections 6.2 and 6.2.2 for the administration of Ontario Regulation 163/06 state that development and interference shall not be permitted within a wetland nor within 30 metres of the boundary of the wetland. We would not permit the removal of any wetland feature (e.g., clearing or draining the feature) and a permit would not be obtainable to develop on the proposed retained lands within 30 metres of any confirmed wetland. It is noted that unevaluated wetlands have not been evaluated by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) and have not been designated as provincially significant. They have been mapped by the MNRF using the best available information (e.g., air photographs and topographic mapping) but have not been assessed on the ground. The direction that LTC has received from the MNRF is that unevaluated wetlands should be treated as PSWs unless demonstrated to be otherwise through an evaluation completed by a certified professional. LTC staff were unable to conduct an assessment at this time due to the time of year. Wetland assessments and delineations can be conducted during the peak season (late May - October) at the request of the landowner. ● Landowner(s) are encouraged to contact LTC to discuss this matter directly if they have any questions or concerns. LTC’s permitting policy document is available to the public at the following link: http://www.ltc.on.ca/planning/pag/

Planning Act Application Review between Municipality of Trent Hills and Lower Trent Region Conservation Authority, 2018). Specifically, in accordance with the agreement, LTC has also reviewed the applications with consideration for natural heritage feature and water quality and quantity protection policies. ● The identified watercourses that run through the retained lands are considered fish habitat in accordance with provincial guidelines. Policy 2.1.8 of the Natural Heritage section of the PPS applies to these applications. Here it is stated that: 2.1.8 development and site alteration shall not be permitted on adjacent lands to the natural heritage features and areas identified in policies 2.1.4, 2.1.5, and 2.1.6 (including fish habitat, significant wetlands etc.) unless the ecological function of the adjacent lands has been evaluated and it has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or their ecological functions. The width of adjacent lands for fish habitat is 120 metres. The western portion of the proposed severed parcel falls within the 120 metre “adjacent lands” for one of the watercourses. An Environmental Impact Study has not been provided to support the application, nor any other evaluation to address the policy noted above. According to the Natural Heritage Reference Manual for Natural Heritage Policies of the PPS (Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, 2010), establishing or retaining a 30-metre-wide swath of natural vegetation adjacent to a watercourse, along either side, will assist in mitigating negative impacts to fish habitat. The proposed severed parcel is situated greater than 30 metres away from the watercourse and there is plenty of room on the retained lands to situate any future development outside of the 120 metre adjacent lands and/or the minimum naturally vegetative 30 metre buffer. Landowner(s) are encouraged to establish and protect a 30 metre vegetated buffer along either side of the banks for each of the watercourses, if not already implemented on site. In addition, there are additional protection policies under the GPGGH that will apply to the watercourse. These policies are outlined and expanded upon in the Additional Advisory Comments section of this letter. ● LTC has no concerns from a water quality and quantity perspective. 4. LTC has reviewed the applications through our role as a public body, pursuant to the Planning Act. ● We have no further comments to add in this role. 5. LTC has reviewed the applications in terms of the Trent Source Protection Plan, prepared under Clean Water Act, 2006. The Source Protection Plan came into effect on January 1, 2015 and contains policies to protect sources of municipal drinking water from existing and future land use activities. ● A portion of the subject lands are located within an identified drinking water source protection area, specifically, a Intake Protection Zone -2 (IPZ-2). In accordance with the Clean Water Act, a Section 59 review (review by the designated Drinking Water Source Protection Risk Management Official (RMO)) is required as part of a complete submission for development. Please ensure that the proponents contact Chris McLeod, Source Protection RMO/Inspector as a notice from Mr. McLeod may be required for their submission to the municipality. Mr. McLeod can be reached at our office at 613.394.3915 ext. 250 or via e-mail at [email protected].

a. Is of sufficient width to protect the key hydrologic feature and its functions from the impacts of the proposed change; b. Is established to achieve and be maintained as natural self-sustaining vegetation; and, c. For key hydrologic features, is no less than 30 metres measured from the outside boundary of the key hydrologic feature.” And, identifies any “additional restrictions to be applied before, during, and after development to protect the hydrologic functions and ecological functions of the feature” (Section 4.2.4). A large portion of the subject lands falls within the 120 metre area of influence associated with the mapped watercourses and wetlands. This includes the western portion of the proposed severed parcel and large portions of the retained lands. Lot creation is considered development under the Planning Act. A HE would therefore be required to support the application pursuant to Section 4.2.4 of the GPGGH. A HE was not provided to support these applications and we are not aware that one has been completed to date. As a large portion of the severed parcel falls within the 120 metre “area of influence” associated with the watercourse located to the west of the proposed parcel, the municipality will need to consider the application of this policy accordingly. However, there is room to situate the severed parcel and any future development outside of the 120 metre “area of influence” of these key hydrologic features. If the municipality chooses to approve the subject applications without the completion of an HE, it is recommended that the 120 metre area of influence associated with the identified key hydrologic features be placed in a restrictive zoning (e.g., Environmental Protection or similar zone) to prevent future development within the sensitive areas. At this time, LTC is of the opinion that the subject applications will conform to the hydrologic protection policies of the GPGGH as long as an HE is provided in support of the application.

SUMMARY Given the above comments, it is the opinion of the LTC that: 1. Consistency with Section 3.1 of the PPS has been demonstrated; 2. Ontario Regulation 163/06 does apply to a large portion of the retained lands, a permit may be required prior to future development and/or site alteration. There are no regulated features on the proposed severed parcel; 3. The watercourses are considered fish habitat and this application triggers the Natural Heritage section (Section 2.1) of the PPS. The retained lands are already developed and there is room available on the severed parcel to situate a future development envelope outside of the 120 metre “adjacent lands” area associated with the watercourses; 4. The provincial policies of the GPGGH apply to the subject lands. The identified 120 metre “area of influence” associated with mapped key hydrologic features extends over the western portion of the severed lands. No Hydrologic Evaluation has been provided. As a result, the application does not currently conform to the hydrologic protection policies of the GPGGH unless the proposed lot lines are rearranges or an HE is provided to identify an appropriate vegetative protection zone; and, 5. A portion of the subject lands are located within an area that is subject to the policies contained in the Trent Source Protection Plan. The Risk Management Official for the area will need to be contacted in order to ensure that the application is deemed complete. LTC would therefore have no objection to the approval of these applications subject to the completion of an HE that addressed the policies of A Place to Grow: Growth plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GPGGH, May 2019) concerning key hydrologic features (Section 4.2.4). The above comments reflect our understanding at the time of writing of applicable policies, legislation, and the development proposal. I trust this letter meets your information requirements. However, should you require any further information or have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Please also inform this office of any decision made by Council with regard to these applications. We respectfully request to receive a copy of the decision and notice of any appeals filed.

Sincerely,

Municipality of Trent Hills Notice of Second Public Meeting

This meeting may be held through remote electronic participation in accordance with the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, and the Municipality of Trent Hills Procedural By-law.

The manner and location in which this meeting will be conducted, will be posted on the Municipality of Trent Hills Website: www.trenthills.ca when the Agenda is published on April 9, 2021.

Hearing Date: Tuesday, April 13, 2021 Time: 6:00 p.m. Application(s): Plan of Subdivision SB02/2020 Zoning Amendment Application C14/2020 Agent / Owner: 2003603 Ontario Corporation / McDonald Homes Civic Address: Homewood Avenue Legal Description: Part Lot 13, Concession 12, Lot 27 and Lot 28, Plan 113, former Village of Hastings Roll Number: 14 35 332 030 23100 0000

Description of the Proposal:

The second Public Meeting is to further consider the proposed Plan of Subdivision, and to consider the Zoning regulations that will apply to the proposed lots within the subdivision.

An application for a vacant land subdivision has been received. The purpose of the application is to create 26 dwelling units consisting of 10 lots for single-detached residential dwellings; 4 semi-detached dwellings and 12 townhouse units contained in 3 blocks. The site will also contain a stormwater management facility and a walkway. No new roads are required as the land can be accessed through Homewood Avenue and existing services will be extended to the subdivision.

The current zoning of the subject lands is Shoreline Residential and Development. The proposed zoning for the subject lands is Residential Type 2 to permit Townhouse Dwellings and residential development.

Size of subject parcel 4.94 acres Official Plan Designation Greenlands System, Hastings Urban Centre Current Zoning Shoreline Residential, Development Type of Application(s) Plan of Subdivision, Zoning Amendment

Further to the first Public Meeting held on September 29, 2020:

 The subdivision proposal is supported by the Provincial Policy Statement; A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe; Northumberland County Official Plan, and the Trent Hills Official Plan, with respect to the increased density for new development and the mix of housing types. The Policies cited identify that this is especially necessary for development in area(s) that are already developed within the urban area(s);  The proposed development conforms to the requirements of the Residential 2 (R2) Zone, as per The Municipality of Trent Hills Zoning By-law 2010-105. It meets the required setback(s), area, coverage, height, parking and unit size requirements for housing within the Residential 2 (R2) Zone, as shown on the Site Plan submitted with the application.  An Environmental Impact Study (EIS) was completed in support of the proposed development. The Study was submitted to Lower Trent Conservation Authority and the Municipality of Trent Hills, for review. Comments contained in the correspondence received from Lower Trent Conservation Authority dated December 4, 2020, were provided at the first Public Meeting. There were no concerns identified regarding Natural Hazards and Natural Heritage.  Additional comments were provided by Lower Trent Conservation Authority regarding the Storm Water Management Plan. These comments were also made available at the first Public Meeting. No significant concerns were identified. Additional details and clarifications were identified to be provided as part of the completion of the Source Water Management Plan, which is a requirement as a condition of subdivision approval;

Page 116 of 119 4.k) Plan of Subdivision SB02/2020 Zoning Amendment Application C14/2020...

 Lower Trent Conservation Authority did express concerns regarding the completion of the Storm Water Facilities within the Source Water Protection area. A response to these concerns has been provided by the Project Engineer, and is available on the Municipality of Trent Hills Website. As well, the Municipal By-law regarding Transport Pathways in Source Water Protection areas requires design of urban infrastructure in these areas, to take this situation into account.  An updated Traffic Analysis has been completed for the proposed development, based on 2019 traffic counts provided by the Municipality. Based on the projected calculations to 2034, the volume for Homewood Avenue would be considered in the category of a low volume road. The Traffic Memo is provided on the Municipality of Trent Hills Website.  Conditions of draft approval will require the creation of an appropriate construction staging plan in the detailed design for the infrastructure installation. The Service Design Plan will also require that the post development design of the road surface be incorporated into the Plan.

Please refer to the Municipality of Trent Hills Website / News and Notices for further information.
