Tea Lake Property Owners Inc.Zoning Regulations for Saunas and Swim Rafts

Recommendation

THAT Planning Report No. P19-007, dated February 12, 2019, with respect to a statusupdate on the request by the Tea Lake Property Owners Inc. for the Township to considerregulations for saunas and swim rafts be received as information.

Back round

Mr. Don Jackson of the Tea Lake Property Owners Inc. submitted a letterto Council datedOctober 9, 2017, requesting consideration of a review of "by-laws governing thepermitting, construction, and use of private property sauna structures and floating swimrafts."

On November 15, 2017, Planning and Development Committee enacted the followingresolution:

Tea Lake Property Owners Inc., 10/09/17, with respect to Zoning By-law Review.

MO TION PD111517-06: Moved by Member Cox and seconded by Member Taylorthat a letter from the Tea Lake Property Owners Inc., datedOctober 9, 2017, with respect to a review of Zoning By-lawsbe referred to staff for a future report.

As part of Council's review of the various matters within the Township's Zoning By-law2010-65, as amended, the request from the Tea Lake Property Owners Inc. wasconsidered as part of the recent Housekeeping Amendment to the Zoning By-law, beingBy-law 2018-61 passed on October 3, 2018.

Saunas

Although saunas were permitted as a shoreline structure, it was identified that there wereno specific provisions governing their size or location. As a result, the HousekeepingAmendment implemented the following provisions:

E-2

Page 5 of 36

"3.2. 12. 12 Sauna: One freestanding sauna may be permitted within the required yardabutting a shoreline provided:

a) The structure does not exceed 10. 0 square metres in floor area;

b) A minimum setback of 4. 5 metres is maintained from the side lotlines;

c) The height does not exceed a maximum height of 4. 5 metres to thehighest point of the roof;

d) A sauna shall not be located on a dock or within a boathouse orboatport; and,

e) If a sauna is attached to any other permitted shoreline structure, theapplicable setback for the combined structure shall be the greatersetback required for either of the shoreline structures to becombined."

Swim Rafts

Swim rafts were not previously contemplated by the Zoning By-law. However, suchstructures can have impacts on navigation and create conflicts with adjacent waterfrontproperties. As a result, the Housekeeping Amendment defined a Swim Raft andimplemented the following provisions which incorporate the restrictions of the Trent-Severn Waterway, and in addition, include the required separation from a dock facility:

"SWIM RAFTA seasonal in-waterand non-motorized floating platform structure located offshore, usedfor swimming and recreational purposes but not for the mooring of boats."

"3.2. 12. 7 Swim Raft: One swim raft may be permitted offshore of a lot abutting ashoreline provided:

a) The structure does not exceed a size of 3.0 metres by 3.0 metres;

b) The structure is located no further than 30. 0 metres from the shoreline;

c) A minimum setback of 4.5 metres is maintained from the straight-lineprojection of the side lot lines;

d) Approval is obtained from all other applicable jurisdictions; and,

e) If the swim raft is located within 3.0 metres of a docking facility, the swimraft shall be deemed to be part of the docking facility."

Planning staff verbally advised Mr. Jackson of the proposed Housekeeping Amendmentand discussed the proposed regulations for saunas and swim rafts. Staff also providedthe Tea Lake Property Owners Inc. with a copy of By-law 2018-61

Re: Review of Zoning By-laws

Dear Mayor and Staff:

The Tea Lake Property Owners Inc. would like to request Uiat the Township of Severnundertake a planning review of the By-laws governing the permitting, construction, and use ofprivate property sauna structures and ftoating swim rafts.

Currently the by-laws do not prowde enough definitton regarding the construction of thesestmctures. With regard to saunas. WB specifically would like to see the size limited to areasonable dimension of 100 sq.. ft. or less, a suitable set back from shoreline of not less tiian10 Meters, maximum roof height, restriction of use as a sauna only with no stee^ng, eating orsanitary functions and services. We ask friat until such a suitable review can be undertakenttiat all construction of these structures be restricted until the review is complete. We want toensure that these structures are also part of the permitting process and subject to standard bestpractices under the building code.

Regarding swim platforms, again we request that <he Township undertake and Implement by-laws to define end control their use. The current lack of legislations allows for any size structureand placement, anchoring system and seasonal deployment. In particular they should belimited to s reasonable size so as to not present a water boating hazard, be properly anchoredto prevent drifting, that they be removed seasonally to prevent ice damage and spring drifh'ng,and navigation hazards to snowmobiling where they may become a dangerous obscured orhidden structure.

We do not specifically object to these structures, but are deeply concerned that there is nogovernance w ch leads to broad definition and self-determination.

Si .ely,

acksoPi^sidentTea Lake roperty Owners Inc.

Tree Canopy and Natural Vegetation Policy

Recommendation

THAT Planning Report No. P19-005, dated February 11, 2019, with respect to a draftTree Canopy and Natural Vegetation Policy be received;

AND FURTHER THAT the Clerk be directed to draft a policy in substantial conformitywith the draft policy included in Appendix 1 to Planning Report P19-005.

Back round

Further to Report No. C17-024, which detailed changes to the Municipal Act ihrough Bill68 entitled Modernizing Ontario's Municipal Legislation Act, 2016, municipalities mustnow adopt a policy that will detail the manner in which the municipality will protect andenhance the tree canopy and natural vegetation in the municipality.

The Township of Severn currently has five (5) policy tools that aim to enhance andpreserve the tree canopy and natural vegetation within the municipality:

TownshiD of Severn Official Plan, 2010;Township of Severn Corporate Policy Manual;Township of Severn Strategic Plan, 2016-2019;County of Simcoe Official Plan, 2016; andThe County of Simcoe Forest Conservation By-law, No. 5635.

Townshi of Severn Official Plan 2010:

The Township's Official Plan identifies a Natural Heritage System (NHS), which includessignificant woodlands, and the system is mapped as the Greenlands designation in theOfficial Plan. Section A2. 1 details the goals and objectives of the Natural hleritage

F-1

Page 9 of 36

System (NhIS) and establishes policies relating to the enhancement and protection ofthe NHS.

A2. 1. 1 Goala) It is the goal of this Plan to protect and enhance significant natural

heritage features and ecological functions in the Township.

Additionally, the municipal Official Plan also establishes policies to ensure thatadequate and appropriate landscaping is incorporated into all proposed developmentsrequiring approvals under the Planning Act.

The policies of the municipal Official Plan appear to satisfy the requirements of Bill 68.

Townshi of Severn Cor orate Polic Manual:

The current Corporate Policy Manual establishes the Township's development standardfor tree plantings in new subdivisions be generally two (2) trees per lot.

24-13 Plantin of Trees - New Subdivisions

That the Township's development standard for the planting of trees in newsubdivisions shall generally be two trees per lot but that the exact numberand location on each lot shall be determined having regard to proposedbuilding locations, lot size, configuration and existing tree cover.

This policy assists in ensuring that the tree canopy is protected and enhanced, which isthe goal of Bill 68.

Townshi of Severn Strate ic Plan 2016-2019:

The Township's Strategic Plan establises goals and objectives for the municipality as awhole. Through the Focus Area of Community Development, goal CD-3 -Environmental Strategy states:

"To strengthen our commitment to sustainable development and balance the needs of agrowing township with the need to preserve and protect our natural environment forfuture generations and Severn residents and visitors."

This goal of the Township's Strategic Plan satisfies the requirements of Bill 68.

Count of Simcoe Official Plan 2016:

Similar to the Township's Official Plan, the County's identifies significant woodlands aspart of the NHS and designates those areas as Greenlands. The objectives of theGreenlands designation include:

Page 10 of 36

. 3.8.1 - To protect and restore the natural character, form, function, andconnectivity of the natural heritage system of the County of Simcoe, and tosustain the natural heritage features and areas and ecological functions of theGreenlands designation and local natural heritage systems for future generations

The policies established by the County of Simcoe Official Plan appear to reflect theintentions of Bill 68.

Count of Simcoe Forest Conservation B -law No. 5635:

This By-law regulates properties at least one (1) hectare (2. 5 acres) in size and theobjectives of the By-law are to:

. Conserve the forest landscape and prevent over harvesting;

. Protect Sensitive Natural Areas;

. Encourage "good forestry practices"; and

. Ensure a sustainable supply of timber for industry and landowners.

The intentions of the Forest Conservation By-law align with the requirements of Bill 68.

Staff are of the opinion that the current policy documents in place provide adequateprotection and enhancement of the tree canopy and natural vegetation within theTownship to satisfy Bill 68. Therefore, a draft policy for the Committee's review, whichincorporates the policies identified above, has been included as Appendix 1

Financial Im actThere are no financial impacts anticipated as a result of this report.

of

The subject lands are irregular in shape and have 61 .65 metres (202 feet) of frontage onthe Severn River and an area of approximately 1. 15 hectare (2. 8 acres). The lands arecurrently occupied by a single detached dwelling, boatport, garage and sleeping cabin.

F-2

Page 13 of 36

The applicant has advised that the sleeping cabin was built without a Building Permit byprevious owners of the property. It should be noted that the County of Simcoe Air Imageryshows that the cabin was constructed sometime between 2008 and 2012 and that thecurrent owners took possession in September 2017.

A site plan of the property from 2017 is included as Appendix 2 which shows the existingstructures and the County of Simcoe Air Imagery (2016) (Appendix 3) gives a context ofthe treed property. The surrounding land uses include residential to the northwest on theother side of an unopened Township road allowance and a vacant parcel to the southeastwhich is also owned by the applicant. The lands are further described as Parts 1 to 5 and16, on 51R-34904 (Appendix 4) and are known municipally as 6655 Upper Big ChuteRoad.

The applicant is seeking a Zoning By-law Amendment to rezone the subject lands fromthe Shoreline Residential Three (SR3) Zone to the site-specific Shoreline ResidentialThree Exception Twenty-Four (SR3-24) Zone to add the following special provisions:

. That notwithstanding Section 3. 2. 5, one (1) residential accessory structure (garage)with a gross floor area of 223 square metres be permitted;

. That notwithstanding Section 3. 2. 6 one (1) residential accessory structure (garage)be permitted to have a maximum building height of 6. 0 metres; and

. That notwithstanding Section 3. 2. 13(b), a sleeping cabin with a gross floor area of68 square metres be permitted

Planning and Development staff visited the property prior to the writing of this report.

A discussion of the various planning documents that have bearing on this application isas follows:

Provincial Policy Statement, 2014 (the "PPS")The subject lands are located outside of a Settlement Area and as such, they would beclassified as being within a Rural Area under the PPS. Rural Areas include a system oflands that can include rural Settlement Areas, Rural Lands, Prime Agricultural Areas,Natural Heritage Features and Areas, and Resource areas.

Although the PPS places an emphasis on Settlement Areas to be the focus for growth,Section 1. 1. 5. provides some flexibility to permit growth and development on Rural Landsfor certain uses. Section 1. 1. 5.2 lists permitted uses with "resource-based recreationaluses (including recreational dwellings)" included. The proposed Zoning By-lawAmendment is to support a resource-based recreational use being two accessorystructures.

The property contains natural heritage features including a Significant Woodlandaccording to the Environmental Impact Study (EIS) by Palmer Environmental ConsultingGroup Inc. (PECG) dated December 5, 2018. The Natural Heritage features on theproperty have been assessed under Section 2. 1 and PECG has concluded that no

Page 14 of 36

negative impacts to these features are anticipated provided mitigation and enhancementmeasures are undertaken. It is the Township's standard process to have an EIS PeerReviewed as part of a Planning Act application which has not yet been completed.

In accordance with Section 1.6. 6.4 private servicing may be used for this property asmunicipal and communal servicing is unavailable; however, no information was providedon the increased demand on the private servicing of this property with the legalization ofthe sleeping cabin that was constructed without a Building Permit.

Further information pertaining to servicing, as well as the Peer Review of the EISsubmitted with the application, is required prior to confirmation as to whether theapplication is generally consistent with the policies, goals and objectives of the PPS.

Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, as amended, 2017 (the "GPGGH")The entire subject property is fully within the Natural Heritage System as per themapping released on February 9, 2018 by the Province. The property is almost entirelycovered in a mapped Woodland. An Environmental Impact Study (EIS) by PalmerEnvironmental Consulting Group (PECG) Inc. dated December 5, 2018 was submittedwith the application.

The EIS identifies that the woodland on the subject property would be considered aSignificant Woodland therefore a Key Natural Heritage Feature under the GPGGH. Theproperty is also located on the Severn River which is considered a Key HydrologicFeature within the GPGGH.

As outlined above it is the Township's standard practice to Peer Review an EIS that issubmitted in support of a P/ann/ng/\cf application therefore staff will withhold analysis ofthe GPGGH policies until a Peer Review is completed.

County ofSimcoe Official Plan (as approved by the 0MB in 2016)The County's Official Plan designates the subject property as Rural. The County's OP issimilar to the PPS permits resource-based recreational uses under Section 3. 7 howeverSection 3. 7. 10 states: "Development in rural areas should wherever possible be designedand sited on a property so as to minimize adverse impacts on agriculture and to minimizeany negative impact on significant natural heritage features and areas and culturalfeatures."

The EIS submitted in support of the application states that the proposed garage willminimize negative impacts on the environmental features. Upon completion of the PeerReview, staff will further evaluate the application in relation to the County's Official Plan.

Township of Severn OfRcial PlanThe subject property is designated Shoreline Residential under the Township of SevernOfficial Plan. The Township's Official Plan states that single detached dwellings arepermitted uses within the Shoreline Residential designation and normally a sleepingcabin and garage would be considered accessory to that permitted use. Section B1. 3 of

Page 15 of 36

the Township's OP states "Where, under the policies of this Plan a land use ispermitted, uses normally accessory to such use are also permitted. " The objectives ofthe Shoreline Residential Area as stated in Section C7. 1 of the Township's Official Planare as follows:

"C7. 1 OBJECTIVESa) To maintain the existing character of this predominantly low density residential area.b) To protect the natural features and ecological functions of the shoreline area and

the immediate shoreline.c) To ensure that existing development is appropriately sen/iced with water andsanitary services."

The Township's Building-Septic Inspector has requested further information regardingthe servicing of the property with a private sewage system and as previously discussedthe Township's standard practice is to have EIS reports Peer Reviewed. Without furtherinformation in support of the servicing of the proposed larger sleeping cabin andinformation from the Township's Peer Reviewer staff cannot confirm that the proposedZoning By-law Amendment conforms to the Township's Official Plan.

Township of Severn Zoning By-law 2010-65, as amendedThe Zoning By-law Amendment Application seeks to rezone the property from theShoreline Residential Three (SR3) Zone to a site-specific Shoreline Residential ThreeException Twenty-Four Zone (SR3-24) which would permit the construction of oneaccessory structure (garage) with a gross floor area of 223 square metres (2, 400 squarefeet) and a maximum building height of 6. 0 metres in addition to legalizing a sleepingcabin, originally built without a permit, with a gross floor area of 68 square metres (731square feet). A draft Zoning By-law Amendment has been included in Appendix 5.

Other ConsiderationsIn addition to the studies already noted, the application was submitted with the supportof a Planning Justification Report prepared by Josh Morgan of Morgan Planning &Development Inc. dated December 4, 2018. As previously noted it is the Township'spractice to have environmental reports subject to an independent Peer Review. It isrecommended that the Peer Review be undertaken prior to Council's consideration ofpassage of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment.

The Township's Public Works Department and the Fire and Emergency ServicesDepartment had no comments with respect to the application.

The Township's Building-Septic Inspector provided the following comment:"The building department does not have any record of a building permit or septic permitbeing issued for the construction of the existing sleeping cabin or any associatedsewage disposal system. Prior to approval of this construction the applicant mustprovide details on the current sewage system servicing this sleeping cabin as well asany proposed changes or alterations. It is anticipated that a new sewage system will berequired to serve the building [sleeping cabin]. The applicant will also be required to

Page 16 of 36

provide an engineer report to verify that the construction of this building meets therequirements of the Ontario Building Code."

The Chief Building Official further added: "The applicant should apply for a buildingpermit with supporting documentation to legalize the present OBC noncompliance. Ifthey are not successful in trying to obtain the required permits, then we should takeaction under the Building Code Act to have the property brought into compliance."

Financial Im act

There are no costs to the Township with respect to the proposed Zoning By-lawAmendment as the costs of the Peer Review will be the responsibility of the applicant.

Dear Mr. Oster,

RE: Zoning By-law Amendment at 6655 Upper Big Chute Road,

ARN: 435105000414500, Township of Severn, County of Simcoe

Risk Management staff of the Severn Sound Environmental Association (SSEA) have reviewed the file Z-18-20 – Combined Complete App and Public Meeting Notice.pdf sent via email on January 31st, 2019 pertaining to the Zoning By-law Amendment Application at 6655 Upper Big Chute Rd. The following comments relevant to drinking water source protection are offered and are applicable to the application as it is presented in the above mentioned file. The below comments may become null and void if changes to the application are made.

It is the SSEAs understanding that the application is to rezone the subject lands from the Shoreline Residential Three (SR3) Zone to a site-specific Shoreline Residential Three (SR3-XX) Zone to construct a detached oversized accessory structure and to recognize anoversized sleeping cabin by adding special provisions listed in the above mentioned notice.

The property is located outside of the IPZ-1 and IPZ-2 for the Port Severn Municipal Drinking Water System (District Municipality of Muskoka) and outside any vulnerable zones within the Township of Severn Municipal Drinking Water Systems, as such, none of the policies in the Approved South Georgian Bay Lake Simcoe Source Protection Plan (approved: January 26, 2015; amended: May 14, 2015; effective: July 1, 2015) apply.

If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned.

Yours truly,
