Proposed Developtnent: To construct a +/- 120 sq. m. detached garage with a nraxinlurn height of+/- 5 nt, on anexisting 9.95 ha. lot.

The lollowing comments attd tecommendations are submifted by the Township of Mulmur lor the consideration ofthe Niagara Escarpment Commission pertaining to the above noted N.E.C. developnrent pelmit application:

l. Additional data from our records show that the property legal description is Rp7R2599 PART 3. This infonnation is provided only for the applicant and yourinformation purposes only. No changes are required to the application form.

2. Our by-law requires a minimum side yard of 20m for parcels greater tttan 8 ha in therural and agricultural areas for attached ga¡ages. Detached garages are permitted to besignificantly closer, and the side yald requirement is deterrnined by the size ofthebuilding (in section 3.2.6 ofthe zoning by-law), For example, a detached garage of 120

sq m floor area would require a 3.0m setback whereas a 50 sq nr would r.equire l.Ornsetback. However, we understand the complexity of siting the buildirrg and thetopography constraints. We believe thatthe O.órn setback will provide a nrinimum spacefor construction and maintenance, but would caution that duling construction the ownershould identify and mark the property line to ensure that construction and activity onlyoccurs on the subject lands, without trespass.

3. It is our understanding that the addition is for a single detached dwelling use and nocommercial or multiple lesidential use is proposed.

Based on the information providing and respecting our specific comments above, we have no objections to tbeproposal. lfyou have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.

Dear Ms. Heiing:

Re: Cllmate Change Discussion Paper-012-3452

At the regular meeting of Council held March 4,20t5, the following resolution was set forth.

Moved bv G. Little -Seconded bvJ. Aultman

Whereas the Province of Ontario has requested comments on the¡r climatechange discussion paper released on the EBR, No. 0t23452, with the clear intedtof imposing some form of carbon pricing on the taxpayers of Ontario; and

Whereas the contribution of Greenhouse Gases, including Carbon, is recognizedthrough computer modeling to be the principal driver in long-term climatechange; and

Whereas Canada (àOtZ) contributes L.5% of global carbon emissions to theatmosphere with countries like China 122%); US (13%); EU (L0or6l; lndia (5.4%);

Brazil 13.2%); Congo .2.2o/ol far exceeding Canada's emissions; and

Whereas Ontario (O.48%l is a small part of Global Carbon emissions; and

Whereas the Transportation sector in Ontario contributes approx. O.t9o/o of Globalcarbon emissions; and

of 35

Whereas Ontario's emissions have been significantly decreasing since 1990 and

are expected to exceed Ontario's defined target for 20L4 oI6%below 1990 tevels;

and

Whereas Ontarlo has immense carbon sinks in their forested areas plus newplantings yearly that are not taken Into account; and

Whereas any form of prlcing carbon, especially Ontar¡o's proposed carbon tax atthe gas pumÞ, will not be effectíve at reducing or even slowing global emissiontrends in the atmosphere - today, the cumulative carbon loadings in theatmosphere from foreign countries continue to escalate and climate change willcontinue thereby forcing Canadians to seek new opportunÍties and/or try to copewith the intensities of the changing climate; and

Whereas. the lack of clarity on "promoting" climate resilience and riskmanagement and the lack of clarity on science and technology makes thiíameaningless discussion paper at a t¡me when we need concrete actions in

Ontario's already changed climate;

Now therefore be it resolved that the Council of the Township of Amaranth isstrongly opposed to the proposals in thls dlscussion paper and formally asks theMinistry of Environment and Climate Change to w¡thdraw such a primitiveattempt to simply grab more taxes or trade carbon at a price - neither scheme

addresses the problem of reducing the rate of global emissions in the atmosphere.But more importantly, the Ontario taxpayër needs greater investments to help

Municipalities adapt to the alúeady changed climates, to support new sustainableopportunities and to protect people and property from today's and tomorrow'sdisasters.

Should you require anything further please do not hesitate to contact this office

Yours truly,

Susan M. Stone, A.M.C.T.

Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction

Points to Register:

2l

The greenhouse effect is real and changes in the climate system are driven by changes in

greenhouse gases - principally carbon and methane in the atmosphere

Global atmospheric models (now more than 40) present a number of scenarios (not forecasts)

given the different rates of change of global greenhouse gas loadings in the atmosphere

Current monitoring of carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have continued to escalate and

to date the carbon curve has neither slowed down or even leveled off

China, US, and many other countries (eg. EU, lndia, Brazil, Congo) are responsible forthe

majority of the rate of increase of Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere - Canada's total global

contribution is negligible atL5% with Ontario atO.5% and decreasing.

More than 5O% ol Ontario is covered in forests and their contribution as a sink for carbon has

not been taken into account in the inventory process. This is a significant error since the forests

are able to sequester significant levels of carbon and hence off-set human based emissions'

Ontario has already exceeded the targets set under the Kyoto Protocol - 6% below 1990 levels

by 2OI4 and Ontario is now proposing a carbon prlcing system to further reduce human-based

carbon emissions (eg. at the gas pump). Transportation in Ontario contributes 0.15% of global

emissions and a further proposed reduction by 2020 would reduce Ontario's global contribution

by a further 0.!-O.2%. Costs are unknown!

A proposed cap and trade system continues to allow polluters to buy carbon off-sets from other

sources and the end result is no reduction in emissions. Will a proposed carbon tax at the gas

pump, for example, make any difference? - no, carbon taxes are simply more taxes with no

measureable effect on reducing emissions loadings in the atmosphere.

! Taxpayers need

greater protection and preparation to cope with the changed and changing climate. Change has

two sides - new opportunities and new disasters. Greater investment to protect people and

property is already needed and greater social, economic and environmental opportunities need

to be discovered and supported -the gains far outweigh the proposed carbon tax solutions!

thorner@ mul mu rtownship.caAMO Policy Update - Government Introduces Changes to Land Use Planning and

Development Charges Legislation

March 5,2015

Government Introduces Changes to Land Use Planning andDevelopment Charges Legislation

AMO will be reviewing the Bill in detail once it is posted. In the meantime, the following are the highlights of the changes as weunderstand them.

Streamlining Land Use Planning and Appeals in Ontario

The legislative amendments to the Planning Act are aimed at increased public participation, improved municipal control overdecisions, and better dispute resolution.

HIGHLIGHTS:

¡ The amendments would revise the development approvals system to a "community planning permit system" which wouldenhance input from residents, municipal staff and developers. This system would coordinate zoning, site plan, and other

development applications so a proposed development would be considered and approved as a whole than in pieces.

. Bill would require official plan policies to explain how and when the public is consulted. In addition, municipalities wouldhave to provide an explanation of how public input has influenced planning decisions. Planning Advisory Committees wouldbe required to include citizen representatives.

¡ Official Plan reviews would be extended to ten years from the current five-year review period. It is anticipated that thiswould reduce appeals. In addition, there would be no amendments to the Plan in the first two years except those initiated bythe municipality. Likewise, once the community planning permit system is established, it would not be subject to private

appeals for five years.e The Province will introduce a process to define "minor" for minor variances.¡ Dispute resolution will be promoted through limiting what is appealable and by introducing a 90 day "pause" to allow. resolution ofofficial plan issues.

There was considerable, in-depth consultation with AMO's Planning Task Force on the planning process challenges and we

look forward to confirming what advice was taken.

Development Charges Act Proposals

Changes to the Development Charses Act are intended to help municipalities cover costs while increasing transparency and support

higher density development.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Capital costs for transit would be recoverable at l00o/o and waste diversion capital costs would become an eligible service

area but not landfills.Adds greater onus for oversight and reporting on funds and charges on development that fall outside of what is allowed inlegislation.

Reporting practices for how devv^opment charges are collected and spent, including those charges under Section 37 ofthePlanning Act (bonus, parkland dedication) will be devised. It is expected that there will be more stringent oversight ofdevelopment charges funds and how these funds fit into long term planning and asset management.A significant proposal is that "development charges would be payable at the time the fnst building permit was issued for abuilding".A Development Charges V/orking Group is proposed to be created to provide additional advice on outstanding complexissues.

While some of these changes to the DCA reflect AMO advice given during consultations, a more detailed review will be required toconsider the impacts of these proposed changes to municipal operations. The inclusion of transit and waste costs represents a step inthe right direction but other services remain either discounted or not included at all which does not allow us to say growth is trulypaying for growth.

RE: Follow-up - February 24,20L5 ROMA/OGRA Discussion

Cc:

Subject:

Mayor Mills, Deputy Mayor Hayes and Mulmur Township Leaders:

Since our meeting on February 24 at the ROMA/OGRA conference, I have had an opportunity to follow up with severalMPAC colleagues including Colleen Vercouteren, Director, Valuation & Customer Relations and Keith Schultz, Manager,Valuation & Customer Relations - both of whom are very familiar with your township and the concern you explained re.buildings being constructed without building permits. Jon Hebden has also been part of our discussions and, as youknow, Jon, too, is familiar with the township's concerns.

As discussed on February 24, MPAC's process for data collection of new construction, improvements to existingbuildings, etc., is driven by the electronic receipt of building permit files from municipalities throughout Ontario and, inparticular, the 'occupancy code/date' is of utmost importance as this is the trigger to send assessors to the respectiveproperties and collect the structure/property information changes. Jon advises that Mulmur Township does send itsbuilding permit files to MPAC electronically and, for this, we thank you - it's an effective way (as we discussed) toensure that your assessment growth can be prioritized and turned around in a more timely way.

With regard to those homes that have been constructed without an authorized building permit - as you may appreciate,it would not be appropriate for MPAC to offer advice around the issue of property owners not taking out buildingpermits, however, there is a potential risk for liability against your township in the absence of enforcement by theCBO. And, respectfully, I will leave this to you for advancing discussions with your CBO/County colleagues.

Having said this, I understand that there was a meeting in 2014 to discuss an alternative means to capture thosestructures, in Mulmur Township, which have been constructed without building permits - I am advised that thearrangement is as follows:

the municipality identifies the anomaly situations, by roll number, description, etc., and does so on a regularbasis (vs. in bulk at end of year)

MPAC treats this as an enquiry, logs and prioritizes the subject propertíes into its internal inventory system inreadiness to be prioritized for field inspection.

Since 201.4, a total of 18 permit enquiries have been provided to the local MPAC office:- 9 of the enquiries did not have a permit issued

o 2 of these have been assessed

o The remaining 7 permits are in the queue awaiting field inspection (They are a variety of barns and

Quonset huts, not houses)- 9 of the enquiries did have a permit issued

o 6 ofthese have been assessed

o 3 of these have not been assessed, 2 of which are houses received in in the late fall of 2OL4 with the oneremainder being a secondary building

1

of 35

From conversations with my colleague', t believe the 'alternative means' is working reasonably well between thetowçship's administration and MPAC's local field office - it is an interim solution that enables assessment growth to becaptured and provided to the township under unusual circumstances that are under the carr¡age of the County andMulmur Township.

I trust the above is helpful and if you have anything further, please let me know.

Again, it was a pleasure to meet with you and your colleagues on February 24 and I enjoyed hearing and learning aboutyour municipality, which on your website, you refer to as "a wee bit of heaven tucked away at the north-eastcorner of Dufferin County, about an hour's drive north-west of the City of Toronto".

Take Notice that an application has been received by the Corporation of the Township of Mulmur for the re-zoning of

and be advised that you are entitled to view and/or obtain a copy ofthe application and any supporting infonnation anddocumentation, as well as a copy of the proposed byJaw, at the Township office at the address belõw during regularoffice hours;

And Take Further Notice that Mulmur Township Council will hold a Public Meeting pursuant to Section 34 of thePlanning Act (1990), as amended, to consider the proposed amendment to the Zoning By-law.

The PUBLIC MEETING will be held at the Mulmur Township Oflices, located at 758070 2od Line East, at 10:30AM on Wednesday, April lst,2015.

Anyone wishing to address Council with respect to the proposal may do so at the public meeting. persons unable toattend the public meeting may provide written comments up until the time of, or at the public meeting.

If you wish to be notified of the decision on the þroposed application, you must make a written request to the Township ofMulmur.

ff a person or public body that files a Notice of Appeal of the decision of Counqi_l with respect of the Zoning By-lawAmendment does not make oral submission at the public meeting on APRIL lsr, 2015 ór make written submissionto the Township of Mulmur before the proposed Znning By-law Amendment is adopted, the Ontario MunicipalBoard may dismiss all or part of the appeal.

Thursday. March 19. 2015 at 7:30 PM. This is also a meeting which is open to the public, and your attendance and yourcomments and input a¡e also welcome at that time. Note that Planning Advisory Committee makes recommendations toCouncil only and does not make statutory decisions on such applications nor is it considered a "public meeting,'under thePlanning Act.

Purpose of the Amendment

The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment would change the zoning on the subject lands from the "Rural Residential(RR)" zone and the "Agriculture (A)" to the "Agriculture (A)", and Rural Commercial-Exception (RC-*)" zones.

Effect of the AmendmentThe approximate 4 acre developed parcel oflands is currently zoned Rural Residential (RR) and the larger parcel is zonedAgricultural (A). The approximate 96 acre agricultural parcel does not contain site specific zoning, and therefore a housecould be constructed on the now vacant agricultural parcel.

Rezoning a portion of the developed lands to a Rural Commercial (RC*) zone would reflect the existing uses, including8!!-thermal as well as agricultural, as the¡e is some overlap of building use. The majority of the larger agricultural parce-ishould be zoned Agricultural (A).

Lands Affected

TheZoningByJaw Amendment affects lands in the Vy'est Half of Lot 5, Concession 6 EHS. These lands are shown on theKey Map on tle back of this notice.
