The owner of Lot 2 on the east side has signed the sketch.

In 2009 the Municipality purchased Registered Plan 55M-429 from the Buryniuk Family conditionally: - that Lot 6 of Plan 55M-429 be transferred back to the seller, Mr. Burnyiuk, abutting land owner at the time; - a 20’ wide strip of land be transferred as right of easement to the Municipality for the length of Lot 6; and - a 1 foot reserve be transferred to the Municpality along the North boundary of Lot 6.
This was completed and surveyed as Parts 1 and 2 of Referance Plan 55R-13088, copy attached.
Applicatant’s Request:
The sketch submitted and attached is colour coded and referred to throughout this report.
Kaspar Fiedler-Tingley, Lawyer with Weiler, Maloney, Nelson is acting on behalf of Peter Stetsko, the current owner/applicant of Lot 6, Plan 55M-429 who currently has a purchase agreement with the abutting land owner, Darcy Burnyiuk, to purchase 29.7 metres of property north of Lot 6 to accommodate the construction of a new structure. Attached is a sketch outlining the coniditions of the sale, being:
Page 29 of 59 a) The transfer of title to existing .03 metre strip of land from the municipality to the seller Darcy Buryniuk (see Part 2 outlined in orange) and the seller transferring a new .03 strip of land to the Municipality (see new Part 3 outlined in blue); b) The seller will grant a new drainage easement (see Part 4 outlined in green) to the Municipality; c) The Severance Consent for a lot addition of Parts 2, 4 and 5 (outlined in orange, green and pink) to Peter Stetsko owner of Lot 6 Plan 55M-429 ; and d) The Municipality release the easement (Part 1 outlined in yellow).
Discussion:
Mr. Fiedler-Tingley has included a comprehensive drainage study completed by TBT Engineering for the proposed relocation of the drainage easement which indicates it is the most functional and feasible location and recommends an .8 metre wide easement, copy attached.
Staff have reviewed the request and have no concerns with the proposed relocation of the easement and or the .03 metre strip of land as drawn on the attached sketch.
If Council agrees to accept the proposed relocation of the one foot strip of land and of the drainage easement which would include the release of ownership of the exisiting 0.3 metre strip of land along with the exisiting easement being Parts 1 and 2 of RP 55R-13088, an application would need to be submitted to the Committee of Adjustment for consent for an addition of property to Mr. Stetko’s property.
If the Committee of Adjustment grants the request, its decisions would contain conditions to ensure that Mr. Stetsko’s existing land along with the portions he would be obtaining (shown in orange, pink and green) are registered on title as one transferrable lot along with other coniditions such as, but not limited to, the following: 1) that the proposed .03 metre strip of land (see new Part 3 outlined in blue) be deeded to the Municipality at no charge and be registered on title prior to completing Condition 2) of this decision; 2) that the Municipality transfer the exisiting .03 metre strip of land being Part 2 of RP 55R-13088 (see Part 2 outlined in orange) to the owner/applicant; 3) that a right of easement 8 metres wide, as described in the application submitted, be registered on title to the Municipality for drainage purposes (shown as Part 4 outlined in green)

The property is located on Bass Lake Road, Shuniah, Ontario and is within the Recreational Cottage Zone- Bass Lake (REC-BL) . The study area is identified in enclosure 19-357-C1. It is understood that the owner is exploring the acquisition of land north of the property to accommodate the construction of a new structure. The municipality has retain'ed a drainage easement along the north limit of the property limit that conflicts with the proposed building. The purpose of this report is to determine a feasible easement relocation option and ensure the new easement location can accommodate the Municipality's drainage requirements. 2.0 Existing Conditions: The subject property abuts the shoreline of Bass Lake and is partly cleared. A gravel driveway from Bass Lake Road provides access to the subject property. A 6 metre wide drainage easement retained by the Municipality of Shuniah exists along the north limit of the property and is mainly forested. The easement generally slopes towards Bass Lake with uneven ground. See enclosed photos of existing features for reference. The existing drainage of the study area is detailed in enclosure 19-357-C1 . An existing ditch along the east side of Bass Lake Road is graded northerly to an entrance culvert at the end of the cul-de-sac. Runoff flows through the 450mm CSP entrance culvert westerly to a low-lying area. The topography on the west side of the road has minor undulations but generally slopes towards Bass Lake and the runoff that doesn't infiltrate eventually drains to Bass Lake. Within the study area, a ditch does not exist along the west side of the road. During the field review, a ditch was not found within the existing drainage easement. 3.0 Development and Evaluation of Alternatives: TBTE undertook a detailed field review and topographic survey of the key drainage features to assist with the development and analysis of easement relocation alternatives. The following two relocation alternatives were developed and evaluated: 1) Relocate the existing drainage easement to the new north property limit. 2) Relocate the existing drainage easement to the existing south property limit. The evaluation of alternatives was considerate of terrain , topography, existing road infrastructure, future drainage improvements and zoning requirements. Page 38 of 59 Drainage Study - Proposed Drainage Easement Relocation Ref. No: TBTE19357 Bass Lake Road, Shuniah Ontario 3.1 Proposed South Easement TBTE evaluated the feasibility of relocating the existing drainage easement to the south property limit. To provide drainage to the south property limit, ditching within the road right-of-way would be required. In addition, an entrance culvert would be required at the properties entrance. Runoff would reach the south limit of the property and west towards Bass Lake, similar to the existing easement. Based on surveyed toe elevations along the west side of Bass Lake Road, significant ditching would be required to provide drainage to the south property limit. The existing toe elevation of the road at the southeast corner of the property is approximately 1 metre higher than the outlet of the existing entrance culvert at the end of the cul-de-sac. Additional excavation depth would also be required to provide a minimum slope for positive drainage. It is unlikely the grading limits of the proposed ditch could be accommodated within the existing Bass Lake Road right-of-way Relocating the easement to the south property limit would facilitate zoning requirements but due to the unfavourable topography and conflict with the existing entrance, this alternative is not preferred. 3.2 Proposed North Easement TBTE evaluated the feasibility of relocating the existing drainage easement to the new north property limit. This alternative is detailed within enclosure 19-357-C2. To ensure runoff will reach the proposed north property limit, the easement would need to extend north of the Bass Lake Road right-of-way. A slight raise in existing grade is encountered for 15m while heading westerly along the north property limit. Beyond the first 15 metres, the grades slope steeply towards Bass Lake. Clearing and ditching would be required along the length of the easement to ensure runoff is contained within the easement. The location of this easement could accommodate runoff from a 0.5 metre deep ditch along the west side of Bass Lake Road if the Municipality deemed the ditching necessary in the future. However, this study did not review if new ditching along the west side of Bass Lake Road could be accommodated within the current right of way. TBTE was provided with the approximate location and dimensions of the proposed new structure. A 3 metre buffer is proposed between the edge of the easement and the new building. This will ensure any grading requirements between the proposed easement and building can be facilitated and ensure zoning requirements can be met comfortably. With an 8 metre easement as detailed within enclosure 19-357-C2, the minimum side yard requirement of 4.5 metre for properties within Recreational Cottage Zone- Bass Lake (REC-BL) can be easily achieved. 4.0 Design & Hydrologic/Hydraulic Analysis TBTE completed a hydrologic and hydraulic analysis to provide recommendations for minimum ditch dimensions. These recommendations are provided for the event the Municipality deems it necessary, in the future, to construct a ditch along the proposed easement. TBTE used the Rational Method to estimate the peak flow for a 25-year storm event. This method is accepted by the MTO for watersheds less than 100 hectares. The watershed for the study area was estimated to be 2.4 hectares. The watershed was delineated using contours derived from a surface consisting of a digital elevation model (Natural Resources Canada) and limited survey undertaken by TBTE. To determine the rainfall intensity, an Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curve was obtained from the MTO IDF Curve Lookup web-based application. Soil characteristics were estimated based on the Northern Ontario Geology Terrain Study mapping. Using the Rational Method, an estimated peak flow of 0.20 m3/s was determined for a 25- year storm event. Based on Manning's Equation for open channel flow, a 0.5 metre deep ditch with a 0.5% Page 39 of 59 LEGEND c::J PROPERTY UMITS !:::::::;::;:;:::) PROPERTY ACQUISITION APPROXIMATE UMITS - DRAINAGE DIRECTlON OF PROPOSED DITCH ,.-- TOP OF CUT . ~~~ · ~ ·~f~:7 : ·-r :- . ., l -: ( .· I l -N- ·l · ·I .. · : ~ :: / 30.o I .. :/ ...... , .·: ::( :: < l/ ... ·I..... ·4.--.------.... ~ BASS LAKE EXISTING DRAINAGE EASEMENT J EXISTING TOE-----...

No: TBTE19357 Bass Lake Road, Shuniah Ontario grade and 2:1 side slopes can accommodate the 25 year peak flow. The 25-yr peak flow results in flow velocities of less than 1 m/s which indicates a grass lined ditch is acceptable. It is recommended that an 8 metre wide drainage easement is provided to accommodate future ditching. A maximum ditch depth of approximately 2.5 metres will be required at the peak along the new north property limit to ensure positive drainage. At this location, using 1.5:1 side slopes will ensure the ditch is within the 8 metre wide easement footprint. To mitigate erosion at this location, it is recommended that rip rap and/or erosion control blanket be constructed along ditch side slopes. 6.0 Recommendations As discussed herein, it was determined that relocating the drainage easement to the new north limit of the property is the most functional and feasible alternative that can accommodate the Municipality's and property owner's requirements. This alternative best replicates the conditions of the existing drainage easement. Currently, ditching does not exist along the west side of Bass Lake Road. Should the Municipality elect to undertake ditching in the future to control runoff from the Bass Lake Road right-of-way, the proposed drainage easement can serve as an outlet to Bass Lake. The following is a summary of findings and recommendations for relocation of the easement: • Relocation of the existing drainage easement to the new north property limit proved to be the most feasible and functional alternative; • A minimum ditch depth of 0.5 metres with 2:1 side slopes and a 0.5% longitudinal grade is recommended to accommodate the 25-year peak flow; • Based on flow velocities a grass line ditch is acceptable and rip rap or erosion control blanket may be used to line the ditch where side slopes are steepened to 1.5:1; • An 8 metre wide easement is required to accommodate the grading limits of future ditching Relocating the drainage easement to the proposed north property limit will not have an impact on the existing drainage of Bass Lake Road or the adjacent properties since ditching is currently not present to contain drainage on the west side of Bass Lake Road or within the existing drainage easement. The recommendations within this report are intended for the purpose of determining a feasible easement relocation option and demonstrate a functional drainage ditch can be constructed along the proposed drainage easement. Should the municipality deem the proposed drainage easement as presented in this report acceptable, the property owner will require a legal survey to proceed with property acquisition and establishment of the drainage easement. Please contact us at your convenience should you have any questions or comments. Sincerely, ~ Don Bowes, P.Eng., Manager of Municipal Engineering Division TBT Engineering Ltd.

Council also requested a report and review on remuneration compared to other municipalities. Attached is a chart with the various comparisons DISCUSSION: When speaking with the various municipalities, they all indicated that they do not have an issue with councillor absenteeism. They did indicate that if this did become an issue, they would have to figure out how they could adjust for the absence. One of the municipalities pays council per meeting so this eliminates the problem of paying individuals when they are not in attendance for long periods. Municipality comparisons were compared by budget amount as this was the most accurate number available. Attached is a list of all municipalities that a comparison was done.
