Consent Application C057/18: Smyth Page 2 of 5 October 9th, 2018

Maitland Valley Conservation Authority

- The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) has no objections to the application and commented that there should be sufficient land on the proposed severed parcel outside of the hazard area for development.

- MVCA commented that since the proposed severed parcel is located within MVCA regulated lands new development will require the permission of the Conservation Authority, proposed structures should be located outside of the floodplain, and a permit will be required for site grading.

- The MVCA also notes that there may be flooding in the access to the proposed severed lot during a regional storm event. Municipal staff have confirmed with the MVCA that emergency services will be able to access the lot if needed during a storm event.

Consent Application C057/18: Smyth Page 3 of 5 October 9th, 2018

Figure 2. Severed and Retained Parcel: yellow = severed parcel, purple = retained parcel

Additional Comments: • This application proposes to break the severances that have previously existed to create three

residential lots and to sever the subject property into two residential lots. This is to address the lack of buildable land there is the Part 4 lot, as a significant amount of land is located within the flood-fringe of the Maitland River. The severed parcel is 0.96 acres in size and is an empty lot. The retained parcel is also 0.96 acres in size and contains an existing dwelling. The entire subject property is zoned appropriately for a single detached dwelling on each separate parcel.

• The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) 2014, encourages development to take place within settlement areas. New growth within settlement areas is to take place in areas that are adjacent to existing built-up areas that allow for the efficient use of land. Given the orientation of the existing house on Part 2, it is preferable to have this portion of Part 2 merge with Part 3. There does not appear to be sufficient area/configuration to have three properties fronting on John Street. While the proposed lots are larger than what is characteristic of the area, with the flood plain and orientation of the existing house, it is supportable for two lots to be created rather than the existing three. It would be challenging to construct a third house with the current orientation of the new house and flood constraint. As such, this application is consistent with the PPS 2014.

Consent Application C057/18: Smyth Page 4 of 5 October 9th, 2018

• The Howick Official Plan (OP) contains policies to guide consents within Settlement Areas. The Howick OP supports the creation of new lots in settlement areas provided the intention of the new lots are for the purpose of infilling in existing developed areas. Since the applicant is not applying for a consent through a registered plan of subdivision, there are several criteria that should be met:

− Consents will be granted in areas where there is no undue extension of services to be provided by the Municipality and where the subject land abuts an existing public road in good condition.

− Consents shall be for the purpose of infilling in existing developed areas and the size of the created parcel(s) shall be a size that is appropriate for the proposed use and be in conformity with the Howick Zoning By-law.

− Consents will not be granted for lands where road access from the adjacent parcel creates a traffic hazard.

• The subject property is located adjacent to existing developed land, is within the Settlement Area, and abuts a public road, there is no undue extension of servicing/infrastructure and is considered infill development. Therefore, this application is in conformity with the Howick Official Plan.

• No concerns have been received by Township staff, the Huron County Health Unit, Conservation Authority or neighbours adjacent to the subject property.

• Municipal staff have requested the applicant address Section 65(2) of the Drainage Act to the satisfaction of the Municipality as a condition of this application.

• The Conservation Authority commented that there is sufficient land located on the proposed severed parcel to accommodate a building. However, the Conservation Authority has noted that since the proposed severed lot is located within Authority regulated land, new development will need the approval of the Conservation Authority and proposed structures should be located outside of the floodplain and a permit will be required for site grading.

• It is recommended that this severance application be approved with the following conditions: Recommended Conditions Note: The list below may not contain all Municipal conditions and should be reviewed by Howick Township

Council.

Expiry Period 1. Conditions imposed must be met within one year of the date of notice of decision, as

Consent Application C63/18: Bunker Page 3 of 3 October 11, 2018 Additional Comments: • This application proposes to sever an existing residence, shop and storage shed from the remainder

of the farmland. Under current policies, the subject residence is not deemed to be surplus to the current owner. The applicant does not have another farm with a house and does not intend to sell the farmland to another farmer who would qualify the subject house as surplus. The applicant plans to sell the retained farmland to their son, who currently has a house in town and does not own any other farms with houses.

• The proposed severed parcel is 1.7 hectares (2.9 acres) and contains a residence, shop and storage sheds. The applicant would like to keep the shops and storage shed on the severed property. The proposed retained parcel is 78 hectares (193 acres), comprised of workable agricultural land and some natural environment features.

• The Provincial Policy Statement, 2014 (PPS) permits the severance of surplus farm dwellings if the existing habitable farm residence is rendered surplus as a result of farm consolidation (the acquisition of additional farm parcels to be operated as one farm operation). The proposed surplus farmhouse severance does not meet this policy. The PPS also requires that the construction of a new residence on the retained farmland created by the severance be prohibited. This is addressed through the automatic rezoning provision in the Zoning By-law which will change the zoning on the farmland to prohibit a residence once the consent is finalized. The proposed consent is not consistent with the PPS, as the purchaser of the farmland does not have another farm with a house.

• The Huron County Official Plan (OP) and the Howick OP both permit surplus residence severances subject to a list of criteria. The proposed consent meets the following criteria of both the Huron County OP and Howick OP: − residence: age, habitable, intended as a primary residence − farmland to be zoned to prohibit residence − size of severed parcel minimized − MDS met to neighbouring barns − no previous residential severances after June 28, 1973, except in Settlement Areas. − retained parcel size a minimum of 19 hectares − residence not within 300 m of aggregate operation/deposit or supportive aggregate impact

assessment submitted. The residence is within 300m of a potential aggregate deposit. A supportive aggregate impact assessment was submitted with the application.

• Township staff do not have any concerns with the application. They suggest a separate entrance for the retained land. No drainage conditions are required.

• The Huron County Health Unit has commented on the application. They have provided their standard condition that the applicant will provide a letter from a licensed contractor advising that the tank has been pumped and is functioning properly to the satisfaction of the Health Unit.

• The proposed application does not meet the policies of the PPS, Huron County Official Plan and the Howick Official Plan because the subject house is not surplus to an area farmer. The proposed consent is recommended for denial.

• Conditions have not been provided as this application is recommended for denial.

Additional Comments: • This application proposes to create a new farm lot in order to create two separate farms that

will allow for the construction of a house and storage shed on the severed parcel. The proposed severed parcel is approximately 60 acres in size with an existing barn on the property. The proposed retained parcel is approximately 65 acres in size with an existing dwelling, barn, and sheds existing on the property.

• The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) 2014, Huron County Official Plan (OP) and the Howick OP permit the creation of new farm lots for agricultural purposes provided certain criteria is met. Lot creation in prime agricultural areas is permitted for agricultural uses provided that the lot is of an appropriate size for agricultural uses and large enough to maintain long term flexibility for future agricultural operations. Both the Howick OP and the Howick Zoning By-law contain a minimum lot area of 30 hectares (75 acres) for agricultural parcels that have an AG1 (General Agricultural) designation. Neither the proposed severed or retained lots meet this minimum lot area provision. The proposed retained parcel is 65 acres in size with approximately 50 acres being workable and the proposed severed parcel is 60 acres in size with approximately 30 acres being workable. As the proposed new lot sizes do not meet the minimum lot sizes required for the long term flexibility of agricultural uses, this application is not in conformity with the above policies.

• It is recommended that if the application be approved, a condition be included to state that the severed parcel be enlarged to ensure a more amicable split of workable farmland. The western lot line (see yellow line in air photo above) of the severed parcel is recommended to be adjusted approximately 85m to the west to include the entirety of the woodlot. This would increase the approximate amount of workable acres from the proposed 30 acres to 39.

• Comments were received from the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority and no concerns were raised. Comments were received from a neighbour, Isaac Brubacher, speaking in support of this application.

• Municipal staff have commented that the condition that the applicant address Section 65(2) of the Drainage Act be addressed for the subject property.

• The proposed application does not meet the policies of the PPS, Huron County Official Plan and the Howick Official Plan because the proposed farm parcels do not meet the required minimum lot sizes. The proposed consent is recommended for denial.

• Conditions have not been included as the application is recommended for denial. Sincerely, “original signed by” “original signed by” ___________________ _________________________ Eric Steele Jenn Burns Student Planner Planner

Report to Council - Public Works Department-2018-29

Title of Report: Sidewalk Snow Removal - changes to the minimum maintenance standards and the additional cost associated. From: Brady Nolan Date: October 3, 2018

Recommendation: That Council receive this information on the changes to the minimum maintenance standards and provide direction to staff as to how they wish to proceed giving particular attention to whom should burden the cost associated with these changes.

Background: There has been changes to the minimum maintenance standards this past year in relation to the maintenance of sidewalks. These new standards address the following:

1. If determined through weather monitoring by the municipality that there is substantial probability of snow in accumulation exceeding 8cm or ice formation; the standard would be to patrol sidewalks that the municipality selects as representative of its sidewalks at intervals deemed necessary by the municipality.

2. Maintenance of the sidewalks to reduce the snow to a depth less than or equal to 8cm within 48 hours and to maintain a minimum sidewalk width of 1 metre.

3. Treat the sidewalk, if practicable, to prevent ice formation or improve traction within 48 hours if the municipality determines that there is substantial probability of ice forming on a sidewalk.

Staff Comments: These new regulations will result in additional responsibilities for both the Village Management team as well as the Public Works Department and will require result in additional costs that were not set in place at budget time.

Financial impact: A new pull type sand spreader is estimated to cost $2,857.00 per unit plus tax, and to place sand storage bins within each town limits the estimated cost will be $3638.37 each. The Public Works department could provide the sand and salt mix at an estimated quantity of 60 tonne at a cost of $11.00/tonne for a total of $660.00. Concluding Comments: A decision is required as to who should cover these additional costs. Respectfully submitted: Brady Nolan Public Works Co-ordinator.

The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Jamie. The proposed Agenda was approved as circulated on motion by Jim and Randy. Carried.

The minutes of the August meeting were adopted as read on motion by Ian and

Sharon. Carried.

Business Arising from the Minutes: o The Brine pump is in and working. No new info re installation of Transformer. o Roger has spoken with Michelle re the Hall Renovations that will be undertaken. It is

clear that Michelle needs help with this. Jamie will give some thought as to who might be available.

Reports:

Skating Club: Sharon reported that there have been two registrations to date. So far about 37 skaters are registered. Sharon asked whether the ice will be ready for November 5.

Morris Turnberry: Jim reported that there will be an election: seven people will be candidates for Council. Ice Availability: Warren will look into date that the meter will be read.

approaching vehicle. Someone would need to be responsible for it. Re ballpark fencing, Chris is trying to get the work done. Leaving it till spring does not seem like a good idea; when it would be ready for use would be unknown. Randy asked whether the fence could be tightened; Brett Garniss would be one person who might know. Kevin inquired about the delay in getting work started in the Hall. Pickleball may be using the space, but would postpone if work was in progress. Mark encouraged the Chamber to host an Information meeting with the Nuclear Waste Management Organization. This would be positive factor related to our application for funds. It is likely the Organization would rent the facility here for a meeting. Kevin reported that the Power Workers Union has donated $2,000.00 to BCC following an application in which Chris Eadie was involved. Finance: Roger noted that Hydro bill for $2,510.00 was paid the first week of September. There was a question about “Regular Donors” who had made a five year commitment in support of the BCC. Question: is there a list of those donors and how are the receipts issued? Warren will ask about sponsored skating times. Motion was made by Randy and Mark to pay the current bills. Carried. Rentals / Bookings: Evelyn reported that the All Candidates event here, went well with a good attendance. No rental was charged for the hall. John and Sharon Armstrong donated $200.00. Jeremy reported that the Stag and Doe that was being planned has been changed to March 2, 2019. Evelyn has had an inquiry about a Stag and Doe on New Year’s Eve. Catering: Deb reported that Belmore Catering has no objection to the recommendation from this Board that outside Caterers be allowed to use this facility. They will have to have their own insurance. Catering routinely pays for cleaning following a Catered event; that will have to be discussed.

She suggested there will be a lock installed on some cupboards – where supplies and paper products are stored for example. Jamie stated that rental from outside Caterers should go to Belmore Catering as they presently pay a yearly rental for the use of the facility and fuel for the stoves. The goal will be to start this policy in January; this will allow time to talk to some other organizations in the area. We need to publicize that we have a renovated facility that is available for use. Jamie will contact some local caterers and facilities to discuss policies and such.

Kevin reported that Kaitlyn Kamrath who was sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce for the Howick Fair Ambassador competition, was the winner.

Motion to adjourn by Deb.

NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF COMPLETE APPLICATION AND PUBLIC MEETING CONCERNING PROPOSED

ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT

TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of North Perth will hold a public meeting on October 29th, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at the Municipality of North Perth Municipal Offices (330 Wallace Avenue North, Listowel) to consider an amendment to the Municipality of North Perth Zoning By-law. The proposed amendment is being considered pursuant to the provisions of the Ontario Planning Act.

The proposed amendment to the North Perth Zoning By-law No. 6-ZB-1999 has been initiated by the Municipality and will replace a provision of the ‘Residential Five Zone (R5)’.

The proposed amendment affects various lands throughout the Municipality. Section 11 – Residential Zone Five (R5) will be amended to include the following:

i. Section 11.2A.2 Lot Frontage, Minimum

(a) Interior Lot 7 m (23 ft.) (b) Corner Lot 13 m (43 ft.)

If approved, the minimum lot frontage for one dwelling unit of a street front townhouse dwelling on an interior lot will be changed from 10 metres (32 feet) to 7 metres (23 feet) to maintain consistent provisions throughout the R5 zone and to support cost effective development patterns and standards to minimize land consumption and servicing costs. The requirements for corner lots are unchanged.

ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment.

If a person or public body would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of the Municipality of North Perth Council to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Municipality of North Perth before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision.

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to the Municipality of North Perth before the by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION relating to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is available for inspection during office hours at the Municipality of North Perth offices.

DATED AT THE MUNICIPALITY OF NORTH PERTH THIS 2nd DAY OF OCTOBER, 2018. Patricia Berfelz, Clerk, Municipality of North Perth, 330 Wallace Ave North, Listowel ON N4W 1L3 Telephone: (519) 292-2062, Email: [email protected]

AMCTO RESPONDS TO ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE BETTER LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT

Dear AMCTO Members: Last week several municipal reforms with significant ramifications, were put forward by the Honourable Premier Doug Ford and Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Steve Clark. While we look forward to reviewing the upcoming legislation, the announcement and several aspects of the proposed legislation has created widespread concern within our sector, regarding timing, implementation, and lack of engagement with local government professionals. Reserving any specific comment on the policy, AMCTO is concerned with how these reforms were brought forward, notably:

This legislation will be introduced on the eve of the 2018 municipal elections and will impact provisions within the Municipal Elections Act. AMCTO has long believed that senior orders of government should engage local government professionals and representative associations, early and more importantly, provide the appropriate amount of time to ensure that public policy implementation is effective at the local level. The timing of this legislation will make this extremely challenging.

This new legislation will create changes to existing election processes within the sector. Ambiguity exists with how to balance the currently enforced rules and regulations with those of the new legislation. Naturally, this ambiguity hinders the ability of local government professionals to implement provincial public policy in a fair and effective manner.

Finally, AMCTO is concerned that the lack of engagement or notice for these reforms to municipal legislation signals a step backwards in the belief that the municipal sector is recognized as a mature, responsible order of government.

AMCTO staff and members will review the legislation once it is released, and will look for ways to provide our technical expertise on how to support public policy implementation at the local level. We continue to believe this value is best served when our members and association are engaged early in the policy development process.
