Re:
Planning and Economic Development – Submission of Amended Application for Ardoch Lake Draft Plan of Vacant Land Condominium (10CD/2012-001)
Recommendation Whereas an amended draft plan has been filed with the County of Frontenac for a Vacant Land Condominium located at Part of Lots 22 & 23, Concessions 1 and 2, Geographic Township of Clarendon, Township of North Frontenac, County of Frontenac referred to as Ardoch Lake; And Whereas there has been significant engagement by the public and agencies throughout the review of the application including two public meetings and the submission of written comments; Therefore Be It Resolved That the Planning Advisory Committee receive the Planning Advisory Committee – Submission of Amended Application for Ardoch Lake Draft Plan of Vacant Land Condominium (10CD/2012-001) and:

direct staff to seek a recommendation from the Council of the Township of North Frontenac; and
provide direction to staff on the need to hold an additional public meeting.
Background On January 4, 2012, the County of Frontenac deemed an application complete for a vacant land condominium along Ardoch Lake, pursuant to the Planning Act Committee Recommend Report Planning Advisory Committee – Submission of Amended Application for Ardoch Lake Draft Plan of Vacant Land Condominium (10CD/2012-001) June 20, 2020 Page 1 of 6

AGENDA ITEM #a)
(10CD/2012-001). The application was submitted by EcoVue Consulting Services on behalf of Ardoch Lake Developments Inc., with respect to lands described as Part of Lots 22 & 23, Concessions 1 and 2, Geographic Township of Clarendon, Township of North Frontenac, County of Frontenac. The proposal included the creation of 28 waterfront units and 17 inland units, totalling 45 residential units, with three internal roads and six open space/wetland blocks on the subject property. Since that time, several amendments have been made to the draft plan in response to comments received through the technical circulation and public meetings. On March 13, 2020, an amended application was received by the County. The amended development consists of 17 waterfront and 6 inland residential units to be serviced with private services (23 units total) with access along 2 blocks of common element roads with 3 blocks for open space/wetland and 1 block for communal docking/water access. Comments Since the August 2017 Public Meeting, several revisions have been made to the draft plan to address municipal, provincial and technical agency comments received. These include:
Reduction of waterfront units from 24 to 17 units: waterfront units range from 0.80 hectares to 6.44 hectares in area with 61 meters to 207 meters of waterfrontage along Ardoch Lake; Inclusion of “Wetland Community 10” and associated 30 meter buffer on the Draft Plan and Site Servicing Plan (located on Block A and a portion of units 15 and 16); Introduction of a single communal dock located on new “Block D”, private docks are no longer proposed on individual waterfront units; Revision to the Site Servicing Plan to show the new lot fabric and building location relative to the required 30 meter setback from the highwater mark and Wetland Community 10 and 300 meter septic system setback for inland lots as recommended by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks; and Addition of a note within the Site Servicing Plan detailing phosphorous controls are per Ministry requirements.
The amended submission includes a review for conformity to the 2017 Township of North Frontenac Official Plan and consistency with the 2019 Township of North Frontenac Zoning By-law. All waterfront units meet the minimum area requirements set out in the Township of North Frontenac Official Plan of 0.8 hectares. The average waterfrontage for all waterfront units is 91 meters/unit with the frontages ranging in length from 61.6 – 207.8 meters. In 2018, Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks provided an update on the lake capacity model to assess the condominium application and its impact on the trophic status of the lake. The County of Frontenac directed that the condominium development be modelled as “permanent year-round residential” and that the sewage systems for all of the waterfront units will use a phosphorous reduction technology capable of consistently achieving a phosphorous effluent concentration of at least Committee Recommend Report Planning Advisory Committee – Submission of Amended Application for Ardoch Lake Draft Plan of Vacant Land Condominium (10CD/2012-001) June 20, 2020 Page 2 of 6

AGENDA ITEM #a)
1mg/L. The Ministry concluded that the Ardoch Lake phosphorous concentrations resulting from the conversion of the existing development to extended seasonal usage and the proposed condominium an considered an acceptable change in phosphorus levels. On September 3, 2019, the Province proclaimed key amendments to the Planning Act and Local Planning Appeal Tribunal Act, 2017. Amendments to Local Planning Appeal Tribunal Act, 2017, restrict third party appeals of plan of subdivision/condominium decisions including all appeals from members of the public. Amendments to the Planning Act also shortened the timeframe for review permitting an applicant to appeal a non-decision by the approval authority 120 days after the application has been deemed complete (previous 180 days). In March 2020, an amended application was submitted to the County of Frontenac. The amended application and supporting studies have been circulated to technical agencies including Mississippi Valley Conservation, Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks and KFL&A Public Health. Comments received are included as attachments to this report (Attachments 7-9) with an overview provided. Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks In comments dated May 29, 2020, Ministry staff supported the application as revised given consideration to the amendments to the development which further lighten the footprint of the proposal and through conversations with County staff regarding the lower tier’s understanding of the ongoing maintenance, monitoring, reporting and inspection of phosphorous reduction technology inclusion in the septic system design. Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) In comments revised June 3, 2020, MVCA completed a review of the amended application with consideration to the revised Environmental Impact Statement including fish habitat and communal docking, heron colony, lakes/wetlands, and watercourses. The comments received also included review of the lot development and site assessment, stormwater management plan, and site servicing and lake capacity. MVCA staff recommended clarification on the recommended development setback from the two identified tributaries of the lake identified in their assessment of watercourses and also included recommended draft plan conditions. Two conditions were highlighted in the comment letter including:
- The preparation of one final EIS that incorporates all recommendations of all versions and Addendums, for ease of reference in the Draft Plan Conditions and for future homeowners. In addition, the following modifications to Section 7.0 Recommendations in the EIS are recommended:
Include all recommendations found throughout the EIS, including recommended setbacks from both wetlands, and the retention of vegetative buffers from wetlands, watercourses, and lake. Amend recommendation 3) to include a maximum tree clearing, in terms of a percentage;

AGENDA ITEM #a)
Amend recommendation 8), concerning approvals for the communal dock to add MVCA as an approval agency.
- A Constraints Plan shall be prepared that shows all natural heritage features and natural hazards and their recommended setbacks and vegetative buffers, in relation to the proposed building envelopes, as follows:
Ardoch Lake, its 30m setback and vegetative buffer; Two tributaries, their development setback and vegetative buffer; Two wetlands, their 30m setback and vegetative buffer; Active Herony Colony and 300m setback; Walley Spawning Area; 10 m setback from the crest of slopes exceeding 3:1 (H:V) and 3m in height; Proposed building envelope including dwelling, septic, laneway.
KFL&A Public Health Comments received June 1, 2020, indicate that KFL&A Public Health have no objection to the proposal and included conditions to be included as part of draft plan approval and the subsequent condominium agreement. The conditions included:
The site servicing plan showing the location of the house, well and the envelopes for the primary and alternative sewage system locations is to be provided to all purchasers of lots in the subdivision, along with all of the conditions listed below that will become part of the subdivision plan. The reserved areas for the primary and alternate sewage system locations much each by 500m2; the mantle portion of the reserved areas may overlap. Primary and alternate sewage system locations are to be reserved and maintained solely for that purpose. No constructions of wells, homes, driveways, pools, garages or other structures is to take place in the primary or alternate locations. Existing soil conditions may necessitate the importation of suitable fill for the installation of the sewage system, resulting in partially or fully raised sewage systems. As the sewage systems are raised, pumps may be required. Deviations from the locations on the site servicing plan with respect to sewage location may require the submission of an engineering report/design and terrain analysis supporting the proposed changes (including the potential impact on adjoining properties).
Two statutory public meetings have been held to review the draft plan in August 2014 and August 2017. Through the engagement on the file, the County has received a number of comments from the public with concerns regarding the density of the development, conformity with the 2017 Township of North Frontenac Official Plan, and impact on natural heritage features. The amended proposal considers comments received from the public and agencies, addressing concerns and lightening the footprint

of the development though a reduction in waterfront lots and restriction of shoreline structures on individual lots in favour of a communal docking system. Planning staff are seeking direction from the Planning Advisory Committee as to the need to hold an additional public meeting. Should the Planning Advisory Committee proceed to direct staff to hold a public meeting, staff will proceed with circulating the Notice of Public Meeting as prescribed in the Planning Act and will prepare a public meeting report for the agenda in advance of the meeting. Should the Planning Advisory Committee determine that adequate engagement has been met through public meetings, planning staff will circulate a Notice of Amended application to all property owners within 120 meters of the subject property and every person who has requested to be notified seeking written comments on the amended application and making available a copy of the amended reports and new comments received. Written comments are encouraged and can be received up until the approval authority has made a decision on the file; comments may be submitted to Megan Rueckwald, Manager of Community Planning, at mrueckwald@frontenaccounty.ca or by mailing to 2069 Battersea Road, Glenburnie, ON, K0H 1S0. Now that the County has received comments from key commenting agencies, staff will proceed to the Township of North Frontenac to seek a recommendation from Township Council on the proposed development and conditions of draft plan approval, if applicable. County staff have reached out to Township staff and started conversations on proposed conditions of draft plan approval and will engage with all required departments (e.g. Public Works, Building, Fire). It is anticipated that County staff will be back before Planning Advisory Committee in Fall 2020 with this recommendation from Township Council and recommended conditions for Planning Advisory Committee to make a recommendation on the decision to County Council. Notice of Decision will be circulated following the Council decision in accordance with the Planning Act. Strategic Priority Implications In 2019, the Council of the Corporation of the County of Frontenac adopted the County of Frontenac Strategic Plan 2019 – 2022 with the mission of effective, efficient and sustainable delivery of services to citizens. Priority 1: Get behind plans that build community vitality and resilience in times of growth and change. This priority responds to high interest as well as concern shared broadly across the County that communities in the Frontenacs be well supported with infrastructure and services essential to vitality and sustainability in today’s world. This strategy also responds to the pressures for managing growth, housing and development wisely, in ways that are sensitive to local values and priorities. Objectives in support of this strategy:
Refine and invest in efforts to accelerate economic development — to grow businesses, attract more visits and expand the tax base.

Planning and Economic Development – Proposed Plan of Subdivision 10T2020/001 (Sunbury, South Frontenac Township)
Recommendation This report is for information only. Background On May 28, 2020, the County of Frontenac deemed an application for draft plan of subdivision complete pursuant to the Planning Act for a property legally described as Part of Lots 25 and 26, Concession 2, former Township of Storrington, in the Township of South Frontenac, County of Frontenac. The lands are located within the Settlement Area of Sunbury in proximity to the intersection of Battersea Road and Sunbury Road and municipally known as 3863 Battersea Road. The application was submitted by Kyle Nielissen of Forefront Engineering Inc, on behalf on the property owner, Steve McClure (2628100 Ontario Inc.) This report provides an overview of the application and relevant policies and regulations that will be evaluated as part of the review of the development as well as the public consultation strategy. The proposed development is an application for draft plan of subdivision to divide the subject lands into 33 lots and blocks, including 31 lots for residential development, 1 parkland block (Block 32), and 1 block to be added to an adjacent property as a lot addition (Block 33). The lots will be accessed from a new municipal street with a single connection to the existing intersection of Battersea Road and Sunbury Road. The residential lots will range in size from 0.6 ha to 3.41 ha, with the typical residential lot having an area of 0.61 ha. The proposed parkland block (Block 32) will be approximately 0.04 ha and will formally connect Battersea Road through the new development to Gerald Ball Memorial Park.

A Zoning Bylaw Amendment application has been submitted to the Township of South Frontenac in support of the application. Public Consultation Strategy Section 3.0 Public Consultation Strategy of the Planning Demonstration Report (Fotenn Consultants Inc., April 6, 2020) proposes a strategy to consult with the public with respect to the subject applications in accordance with Ontario Regulation 544/06. The applicant and development team propose to host an open house within 1-2 months of the subject applications being deemed complete by the County and Township staff to provide an opportunity to provide information to the public regarding the proposed development and to collect feedback on the proposal and discuss any comments or concerns early on in the review process. Through consultation with the applicant and development team, the Open House is scheduled for the evening of July 22nd, 2020. The Open House will be held using electronic participation to respect physical distancing requirements of the COVID-19 Provincial Government Emergency Order. The County will facilitate the Open House with the agent and their planner leading the presentation and answering questions. Planning Advisory Committee attendance at the Open House is not mandatory but will provide the Committee with a sense of comments on the development. A report will be provided to the Planning Advisory Committee summarizing comments heard at the meeting. The applicant and development team recommend that the statutory public meeting for the subdivision be held following the issuance of technical comments by planning staff and review agencies. This would allow staff to better address the comments and questions from Committee members and the public as they will have had the opportunity to review the applications in detail with other review agencies. This proposed timing will also ensure that the applicant is aware of the technical review comments from staff and Planning Advisory Committee – Proposed Plan of Subdivision 10T-2020/001 (Sunbury) June 22, 2020
