THAT the South Frontenac Township Committee of Adjustment hereby approves the minutes of the August 13, 2018 meeting of the Committee, as circulated. Carried
Item #5: Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) Presentation (M. Rueckwald) Presentation deferred until October Committee of Adjustment Meeting, when all Committee of Adjustment members can be in attendance.
Item #6: S-48-18-L (Bennett/Storms) Speaking to the Application: none Discussion: At the June 14, 2018 Committee of Adjustment meeting, the Committee granted provisional consent for application S-48-18-L. Application S-48-18-L was for a lot addition of approximately 8.75 acres of land from 1036 Storm Haven Lane to a vacant parcel of land north of the subject property with frontage on Sydenham Lake. In Condition 2 of the Notice of Decision, the land to be severed by Consent Application S-48-18-L shall be for the creation of an 8.75 +/- lot addition only to 1040 Slumber Lane (PIN 362790704). When preparing the conditions, planning staff referenced the incorrect civic address and PIN. Instead, the condition should have referenced the benefitting lands as PIN 362790703 (no civic address assigned to the vacant lot). Section 53(23) of the Planning Act, states that the conditions of provisional consent may be changed at any time before consent is given. Planning staff recommend the change of condition to the correct benefitting lands and view the amendment as minor due to the fact that the Committee of Adjustment made the decision based on the correct identification of the benefiting lands but the incorrect property was referenced in the Notice of Decision. If the changes are minor, no further action is required under the Planning Act.

THAT the South Frontenac Township Committee of Adjustment hereby amends the conditions of provisional consent for application S-48-18-L by Helen and Spencer Storms (Jeff Bennett – agent), to identify the benefitting lands as PIN 362790703 (vacant waterfront lot to the north with frontage along Sydenham Lake). Carried
Item #7: S-63-18-S (Hiawatha Lane) Speaking to the Application: Leslie Briscoe Discussion: An application for consent has been received for the creation of one new waterfront lot from an existing property at Concession 8, Part Lots 15 and 16, District of Storrington, Township of South Frontenac, known municipally as 4071 Hiawatha Lane (see attached map). The existing lot has frontage on Dog Lake with Hood Lane, Hiawatha Lane and Hewett Lane dissecting the property. The subject property is
Page 4 of 231
3 currently operated as recreational resort commercial property known as Hiawatha Hideaway. The proposal is to sever 2.5 acres from an existing 50 acre lot create one new lot containing an existing cottage. Consent application S-63-18-P is for the creation of a developed waterfront limited services lot. The proposed new lot will have approximately 305 feet of frontage along Dog Lake and is approximately 2.5 acres in area. The lot will be irregularly shaped due to the configuration of the shoreline with a depth of approximately 360 feet. The lot will be accessed by Hiawatha Lane. The lot will contain a seasonal dwelling municipally known as 4065 Hiawatha Lane. The retained lands will consist of approximately 50 acres in area with approximately 900 feet of frontage along Dog Lake and over 1km of private roads dissecting the property. The retained lands will contain three seasonal dwellings as part of the recreational resort commercial property. No further development is proposed for the retained lands at this time. The proposed lot line configuration to sever off the existing waterfront cottage at 4065 Hiawatha Lane results in a lot line that will dissect the cottage at 4071 Hiawatha Lane. Planning staff confirmed with the applicant that the cottage at 4071 Hiawatha Lane will be removed from the subject property; planning staff are recommending the removal of the cottage as a condition of the consent.
Application S-63-18-S by 548883 Ontario Limited, to create a new lot, in Concession 8, Part Lot 15/16, Hiawatha Lane, District of Storrington, had been deferred by the Committee of Adjustment subject to review of KFL&A Health Unit comments at the August 9th meeting. Supportive comments have been received from the Health Unit now. A Committee member noted the mapping for this applications shows a sliver of a waterfront that appeared to have an odd shape. M. Rueckwald noted this was an error in the mapping that has not yet been updated, but that the sliver was conveyed as part of an approved lot addition. Committee members were supportive of the consent with conditions outlined by M. Rueckwald, now that Health Unit comments have been received. RESOLUTION: C of A: 18:09:05 Moved by: John Sherbino

Item #8: S-64-18-L (Roche) Speaking to the Application: Douglas Roche Discussion: This application was deferred at the August Committee of Adjustment meeting to allow the applicant to revise the application from a lot addition to a severance. An application for consent has been received for the creation of one new lot from an existing property at Part Lot 1, Concession 2, District of Loughborough, known municipally as 3246 Forest Road (see attached map). The existing lot has frontage on Forest Road and Murvale Road and is approximately 4.25 acres in area. The subject property is currently developed with a dwelling and multiple accessory structures including a large greenhouse and is primarily cleared land. The applicant is proposing to sever approximately 2 acres from an existing 4.25 acre property in order to create one new rural residential lot. The new lot will restore two lots that merged on title with a new confirmation that meets the provisions in the Township’s Zoning Bylaw. There was discussion among Committee members as to whether a condition for a well pumping capacity condition should be imposed as the lots merged together unintentionally, and prior to the merging the two lots were both considered building lots. The Committee felt it continues to be important to confirm the water supply for a vacant lot. The Committee approved the consent including a condition requiring a water pump test.

Item #10: S-73-18-P (Smart) Speaking to the Application: Willard Brown (neighbour) Discussion: An application for consent has been received for the creation of one new lot from an existing property at Part Lot 12, Concession 10, District of Portland, known municipally as 5801 Cross Road (see attached map). The existing lot has frontage on Cross Road and Bellrock and is approximately 5 acres in area. The subject property is currently developed with a dwelling with the remainder naturally vegetated with cleared grass areas as well. The applicant is proposing to sever approximately 2 acres from the existing 5 acre property in order to create one new rural residential lot. Written comments were received from Willard Brown, neighbour at 5817 Cross Road, regarding concerns over alterations to grading on the proposed new lot that may negatively impact his property; in addition to proximity of the proposed septic location to his existing well. Mr. Brown also spoke at the Committee of Adjustment meeting on August 9, 2018 to express his concerns. The committee members elected to defer the application to allow time for further evaluation of the drainage between the lots. A site visit was completed by planning staff on August 1, 2018, to review the severance application. Following the deferral of the application, planning staff and staff from the Public Works Department met on site with the applicant and the concerned member of the public. Public Works staff discussed the inclusion of a condition for a drainage swale which the applicant and concerned member of the public were agreeable to as a way to ensure drainage was properly directed before the construction of a dwelling on the severed lands. Public Works and KFL&A Health Unit have no objection to this severance. Committee members were pleased to see a satisfactory resolution to the concerns about drainage and were glad to see the concerns could be addressed through conditions of the consent application. Willard Brown, a neighbour, requested to be notified of the decision of the Committee of Adjustment for application S-73-18-P. RESOLUTION:

The proposal is to sever approximately 0.85 acres to facilitate a lot addition to enlarge an existing waterfront lot municipally known as 279 Frye Lane. Consent application S-74-18-B will facilitate a lot addition of approximately 0.85 acres of land to enlarge an existing waterfront lot at 279 Frye Lane. The retained lands will consist of approximately 10 acres in area that exceed the minimum requirements for lot frontage and frontage along the private lane. D. Hahn was pleased to see that the circulation issues with this application had been resolved and that it was good to see the lots getting bigger.

Item #12: S-76-18-B (Tucker) Speaking to the Application: Fotenn Consultants, Mike Keene & Miles Weekes Discussion: An application for consent has been received to establish a permanent mainland access regime for water access properties located on Mica Island in Bobs Lake. The proposal is to sever 1.2 acres of land from an existing 9.6 acre parcel of land to create one new lot for parking and docking facilities. The lot to be created has approximately 52 metres of frontage along Dewitt Lane and fronts onto Bobs Lake and Michaels Creek Marsh which is a Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW). The intent of the application is to bring an existing non-conforming water access situation into conformity with the policies of the Official Plan by establishing a regularized access regime for the existing properties located on Mica Island. The parking area proposed will be large enough to accommodate four vehicles and will be approximately 10 metres by 12 metres; the parking area will be setback 30 metres from the high water mark and 5 metres from the neighbouring lane. The applicants have submitted a Zoning Bylaw Amendment application to restrict the uses on the severed lands to parking for the exclusive use of the owners that is setback a minimum of 30 metres from the high water mark of Bobs Lake and docking facilities. The applicants have also proposed conditions to be included in the site plan agreement to limit disturbance on the property and a restrictive covenant.
Committee members asked the consultants in attendance for this application about the restrictive covenant to be registered on title. Mr. Weekes stated that the restrictive covenant ties the mainland property to the island property so the 2 property cannot be sold separately in the future. Mr. Keen added that the restrictive covenant was recommended by the lawyer acting on this file and provides a mainland parking area and dock for two existing cottages on Mica Island. Committee member Revill noted that any future building is restricted on such a small lot.

Item #17: S-82-18-S (Desrochers) Speaking to the Application: George Desrochers Discussion: An application for consent has been received for the creation of one new lot from an existing property at Part Lot 13 and 14, Concession 10, Geographic Township of Storrington, Township of South Frontenac. The existing lot has frontage along Ramparts Road and Battersea Road. The lot is developed with two small agricultural buildings. The proposal is to sever approximately 75 acres of land with 345 metres of frontage along Ramparts Road and convey these lands to the Nature Conservancy of Canada for conservation of the existing area. The retained lands will be approximately 88 acres in area with 165 metres of frontage along Battersea Road. The applicant previously applied for a lot addition to facilitate the transfer of the lands to a neighbouring property and convey 75 acres of land to the Nature Conservancy of Canada under Consent Application S-1117-S. Due to an error in the order of the stamping of the deeds and timelines for provisional consent the applicant was unable to fulfill the conditions in the required time. As such, the applicant has reapplied for a consent application; this time, the application is for a severance because the parcel of land that is the benefitting lands has been merged with a neighbouring property. M. Rueckwald explained that there had been an error in the stamping of deeds. The second deed had been stamped prior to the first deed. George Desrochers stated they are working closely with their lawyer to ensure the severance is correctly finalized this time. The Committee of Adjustment agreed to refund fee due to the error in the stamping of deeds for application S82-18-S. RESOLUTION: Moved by:

Item #18: MV-18-18-B Speaking to the Application: None Discussion: No report had been submitted for application MV-18-18-B in advance of the public hearing as Planning was waiting for comments from the conservation authority on this application. M. Rueckwald explained that staff received comments from the conservation authority on September 13th, but did not have sufficient time to evaluate them to bring a recommendation to Committee at the September 13th meeting. Committee members discussed that there was a history to this application. It was noted that there was no discussion when the building permit was issued that it was the applicant’s intention to keep the original cottage. M. Rueckwald explained that the applicants had taken a demolition permit to remove the original cottage on the property at the time they were constructing a new cottage on the property, as well as a permit to relocated the structure outside the 30m setback. The new cottage is Page 20 of 231
19 outside the 30m setback. The applicants are now seeking a minor variance to recognize the existing cottage within the 30m setback in order to maintain the original cottage on the property. This application will come forward at the October 11, 2018 meeting of the Committee of Adjustment. RESOLUTION: Moved by:

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT PLANNING REPORT – CONSENT APPLICATION Report Date: October 9, 2018 Application No: Owner: Location of Property:
S-59-18-L Rice Part Lot 25, Concession 13, District of Loughborough, Township of South Frontenac, municipally known as 179 Burnt Point Lane Purpose of Application: Consent to create one new lot Date of Hearing: October 11, 2018
Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and pending comments received approve application S-59-18-L for the creation of one new residential limited services waterfront lot on Buck Lake (South Basin).
Proposal An application for consent has been received for the creation of one new residential limited services waterfront lot from an existing property at Part Lot 25, Concession 13, District of Loughborough, municipally known as 179 Burnt Point Lane (see attached map). The existing lot has frontage on Burnt Point Lane with waterfrontage along Buck Lake (South Basin). The lot is heavily vegetated with some cleared trails throughout. The applicant is proposing to sever approximately 22 acres with 91 metres of frontage along Burnt Point Lane from the existing 29 acre lot. It is important to note that the South Basin of Buck Lake is an at-capacity lake trout lake; stricter development controls are in place for the creation of new lots within 300 metres of at-capacity lakes. S-59-18-L Consent application S-59-18-L is for the creation of a vacant residential limited services waterfront lot. The proposed new lot will have approximately 91 metres of frontage along Burnt Point Lane, 182 metres of frontage along Buck Lake and will be 22 acres in area. The lot will be irregularly shaped due to the topography of the lot and the existing frontage along Burnt Point Lane. A new entrance and driveway are proposed from Burnt Point Lane. The proposed consent and development has been reviewed in the Environmental Impact Assessment prepared by Ontario Lake Assessments Environmental Consulting in August 2018. A location for the septic system has been identified that meets the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (formerly Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change) policies for development on at-capacity lakes. Retained Lot The retained lands will consist of approximately 7 acres in area with approximately 274 metres of frontage along Buck Lake and Burnt Point Lane terminating at the subject property. The retained land will be irregularly shaped due to the configuration of the shoreline and the natural topography of the lot. A new cottage is being constructed on the retained lands; beyond the construction of the cottage no additional development is proposed for the retained lands.
Planning Analysis Consistent with Provincial Policy Statement, 2014: Current Official Plan Designation: Application conforms with Official Plan, 2003: Current Zoning: Complies with Zoning Bylaw 2003-75:
Yes Rural Yes Rural No, rezoning recommended
Provincial Policy Statement (2014) The 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides direction on matters of Provincial interest related to land use planning and development. The PPS promotes efficient land use and development patterns that support strong, liveable and healthy communities, protect the environment and public health and safety, and facilitate economic growth. When assessing consent applications on rural lands, planning authorities must comply with Section 1.1.5.1 of the PPS; this section requires application of relevant policy of Section 1: Building Healthy Communities, Section 2: Wise Use and Page 41 of 231
REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT Management of Recourses, and Section 3: Protecting Public Health and Safety by the approval authority. Section 1: Building Healthy Communities of the PPS promotes the building of strong, healthy communities and includes policies about avoiding development and land use patterns which may cause environmental or public health and safety concerns. Section 1.1.5.2 of the PPS permits limited residential development on rural lands in addition to resource-based recreational uses in Ontario municipalities and in Section 1.1.5.4 promotes development that is compatible with the rural landscape and can be sustained by rural service levels. Section 1.1.4.1 a. speaks to building upon rural character and leveraging rural amenities. The consent application will result in the creation of one new rural waterfront residential lot that is accessible by private lane. Section 2: Wise Use and Management of Resources of the PPS contains policies that encourage the protection of natural heritage, water, agricultural, mineral and cultural heritage and archaeological resources for their economic, environmental and social benefits. The South Basin of Buck Lake is identified as an at-capacity lake trout lake. Policies in the PPS speak to the protection to development and site alteration shall not be permitted in fish habitat except in accordance with provincial and federal requirements. Section 2.2 Water requires planning authorities to protect, improve or restore the quality and quantity of water by ensuring consideration of environmental lake capacity, where applicable. The application was reviewed by the MECP and CRCA for consistency with Section 2 and 3 of the PPS. Section 3: Protecting Public Health and Safety directs development away from areas of natural or human-made hazards where there is an unacceptable risk to public health or safety or of property damage. No human-made hazards were identified on the subject property or neighbouring property that would impact public health and safety. The MECP and CRCA have reviewed the application for natural hazard concerns as outlined in the comments below. County of Frontenac Official Plan, 2016 The County of Frontenac Official Plan is a framework for guiding development in the County through the management and protection of the natural environment and by providing direction and influence on growth patterns. It is focused on the six themes of economic sustainability, growth management, community building, housing and social services, heritage and culture, and environmental sustainability. Section 3.3 Rural Lands provides policies for all lands outside of the settlement areas. The Plan recognizes that rural lands are used as an alternative location for those preferring a rural lifestyle. Section 3.3.3.4 Special Policies – Waterfront Area list an overall goal of the Plan to improve and protect the waterfront areas in Frontenac County as a significant cultural, recreational, economic, and natural environment resources and to maintain or enhance the quality of the land areas adjacent to the shore. Sufficient area exists on the severed lots to meet the required waterbody setbacks. Section 7 – Environmental Sustainability includes policies for the protection of lake trout lakes including the prohibition of development within 300 metres of an at-capacity lake trout lake unless the Township Official plan contains policies to protect lake trout lakes including exceptions to the prohibition of development near at-capacity lakes, such as tile field setbacks. Section 4.2: Servicing provides policies for the use of private services provided that site conditions are suitable for the long-term provision of such services with no negative impacts. KFL&A Public Health was circulated the application and have no objection to the proposed severance as confirmed in correspondence provided June 26, 2018. A site visit was conducted by Victor Castro of the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks to verify the location of the septic system and ensure it met the Ministry’s policies for at-capacity lakes. Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, 2003 The subject property is designated as Rural in the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan. Policies in the Rural designation speak to permitting development that is consistent with maintaining the Township’s rural, natural heritage, and cultural landscape. Section 5.7.7 Limited Service Residential Policies permit limited non-agricultural development within the Rural area. As a rule, the minimum lot sizes are to be 1 hectare with 76 metres (250 feet) of frontage along a private road and 91 metres of frontage along the waterfront for waterfront lots. Further, a maximum of three new limited services residential severances may be permitted from a lot existing as of the date of adoption of the Plan. Lots Page 42 of 231
REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT shall be serviced by private water and sanitary sewage disposal systems. As a condition of severance for all new waterfront limited service residential lots, the owner of the subject property shall enter into a development agreement with the Township to be registered on title acknowledging:
The Township does not maintain or repair private roads On private roads the Township does not provide municipal services normally associated with public roads Owners are responsible for all costs necessary to maintain the private road The Township is not responsible for any loss or damage created by the owner’s failure to maintain the private road; and Owners agree to indemnify the Township for any loss or damage.
The severed and retained lots will meet the policies in the Official Plan with regard to waterfrontage and area; the retained lot will be deficient in road frontage due to the configuration of the driveway/rightof-way that provides access. The applicant spoke with previous planning staff regarding the right-ofway and how it terminates at the retained lot. As a condition of consent, planning staff are recommending that a condition be included for confirmation that the retained lot has legal deeded access and the limited frontage be recognized through the required rezoning. An Environmental Impact Assessment was completed by Ontario Lake Assessments & Environmental Education Services (August 2018) to permit development on the South Basin of Buck Lake, an atcapacity lake trout lake. The Official Plan contains polices that speak to permitting new lot creation where:
Drainage of the proposed lot flows to a separate, non-sensitive watershed; Drainage of the sewage effluent will effectively drain result in a circuitous setback of at least 300 metres; New technologies in sewage disposal systems, acceptable to the Ministry of Environment, will be utilized resulting in no adverse effects on lake water quality; A conventional septic system will be located outside 300 metres from the highwater mark; or The proposal is supported by a detailed site-specific hydrogeological and soil studies which assess phosphorous distribution, migration, velocity and long-term soil retention capabilities.
The proposed severed lot will conform with the policies in the Official Plan for new lot creation on an at-capacity lake. The EIA was reviewed by the Cataraqui Regional Conservation Authority as well as the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (formally the MOECC). Comments dated October 9, 2018 indicate that the CRCA has no objection to the application provided the MECP are satisfied that the water quality objectives are achieved. The Ministry provided comments on October 4, stating that they have no objection to the application. In addition to a review of the natural features and species on the subject property, the EIA recommends the following:
The lot should be approved conditional upon proceeding by way of Site Plan Control; The septic envelope (weeping bed) and the building envelope should be surveyed and their locations indicated as a condition of approval; The setback for the residence should be 45m+/- horizontal distance from the water; The septic tank must be located in the back-slope area near the building envelope; the septic bed must be located at the site of the test evaluation; 36-38m from the lake; Access to the water must be by way of a floating dock; final permits for location and shoreline alteration to be arranged with the CRCA; The natural trees/vegetation in the 30m setback must be maintained in a natural state; allowing for minor trimming and clearing to create a view and ventilation; No maintained ‘lawn’ area is to be permitted within the 30 m setback distance; Best Management Practices to be used during the duration of the construction period to contain sediment and debris on site; e.g. staked hay bales across the downslope from the septic bed until a sod is established; No grading or construction/excavating/landscaping/ can be undertaken beyond the building envelope, particularly in the areas depicted in photos #5 and 6; Page 43 of 231
REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT
The location of the entrance driveway must be surveyed and identified and included in the Site Plan Control document as a condition of approval; A SAR Benefit Permit from MNRF for gray rat snakes will have to be acquired at the time of construction for both the driveway and the residence.
Township of South Frontenac Zoning Bylaw The property is zoned Rural (RU) in the Township of South Frontenac Zoning Bylaw. The intent of the Rural zoning is to permit a variety of uses including agriculture and residential. Planning staff are recommending as a condition of provisional consent that the lands be rezoned to recognize that the severed and retained lands are accessible by private lane and have waterfrontage. The rezoning will be a condition of provisional consent to be completed prior to the stamping of the deeds. An exception zone is proposed to reflect the site specific environmental concerns, building envelope and septic location.
Agency Analysis and Comments KFL&A Public Health – In comments provided June 26, 2018, KFL&A Public Health indicated that they have no objection to the minor variance. Soil conditions on the lot will require additional suitable granular soil to construct the septic system. Due to the limitations the lot will only provide a specific location for the construction of the sewage disposal system. The most suitable location for the sewage system is the flat area previously identified and there is a minimum of 10 inches of soil over rock. Public Comments – As of the time of writing, no written comments have been received from the public. Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority– Comments dated October 9, 2018, indicate that Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority has no objection to the proposal provided the Township consults with the MECP. CRCA reviewed the application for natural hazards (including flooding and erosion) and relevant sections of the PPS. In addition, the CRCA reviewed the EIS submitted by Environmental Lake Assessments (August, 2018); staff find that the natural heritage considerations address the appropriate sections of the PPS and that the report contains detailed support for the development. The recommendations contained within the report are suited to the site and support the conclusion of the consultant. Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks – Comments dated October 4, 2018 indicate that Ministry staff have no objection to the proposed severance provided the recommendations listed in the EIA are included in the conditions of severance. In addition, the septic tile field would have to be located in the location provided by the following GPS UTM coordinates to conform to the criteria above as verified by the test pits and soil samples -18T 0384818 4930977. A site visit was completed by planning staff and Township Public Works staff on September 28, 2018, to review the severance application.

Attention:
Claire Dodds, Director of Development Services, MCIP, RPP Email: cdodds@southfrontenac.net
Dear Ms. Dodds: Re:
Circulation S-59-18-L– Geographic Township of Loughborough, Township of South Frontenac, municipally known as 179 Burnt Point Lane
I have reviewed the application for the severance consent noted above, supporting documentation and offer the following comments. Surface water staff have also been involved in the technical review of the Environmental Impact Assessment and have attended the site with the consultant. S-59-18-L (Rice) – South Frontenac Buck Lake has been identified by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry as a cold water lake trout fishery; managed for lake trout and is currently classified by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) as “at capacity” for development. While this designation does not preclude responsible development on existing lots of record it should be done in such a way that minimizes impact to these sensitive surface water features such as maintaining a setback that is back as far as reasonably possible and minimizing lot coverage by extra structures etc. which increases the permeability of lots and minimizes surface runoff and hardening of the landscape. The creation of new lots are subject to a set of restrictive policies that are detailed in MECP’s Lakeshore Capacity Assessment Handbook-2010 (LCAH) and have been included in the Official Plan of the Township of South Frontenac. As noted above MECP surface water staff have attended the site and has been in contact with the consultant who prepared the Environmental Impact Assessment in support of the application. The EIS concludes that the presence of site specific criteria pertaining to specific soil characteristics exist on this site and satisfy one of the criteria that would permit development (lot creation) per the LCAH. Page 51 of 231
2 of 2
The characteristics include the presence of acidic overburden of adequate depth and distance to the water table. Test pits and soil samples were taken to confirm the findings. In addition, the following items outline the unique features of this site.
The proposed lot size is large (2.38 ha) Lake frontage is large (183 m) The lake frontage cannot be further divided The septic location is in a back-slope area greater than 30 m from the lake The building envelope is greater than 45 m from the lake The septic location (GPS points below) has greater than 3.0 m depth of parent materials The parent soils are high in Al and Fe and are acidic and will bind nutrients And per the above meet the MECP requirements for highly sensitive at capacity lakes. The water table is greater than 3 m below the surface of the proposed septic bed location The septic system will be a Class IV system with a raised bed and will meet all the requirements of the local health unit.
Based on the information above, this ministry supports this application for severance provided the dwelling building envelope is located per the above. In addition, the septic tile field would have to be located in the location provided by the following GPS UTM coordinates to conform to the criteria above as verified by the test pits and soil samples.
18T 0384818 4930977
For your information the projection for the coordinates was NAD 83 to ensure accuracy of the GPS coordinates provided. Thank you for the opportunity to review this circulation and your concern for the environment. We have no further comments on this application at this time. Regards,

The following report examines the potential for environmental impacts as the result of creating a new residential lot on the South Basin of Buck Lake. Buck Lake is designated as ‘highly sensitive’ by the MOECC and is recognised as such in the OP and Zoning By-law for South Frontenac Township. This designation does not auow for the creation of new lots unless very stringent requirements of MOECC can be achieved.
The Natural Heritage Features and Functions of concern with this application is primarily the water quality of Buck Lake; the potential for impact on lake trout habitat; the potential for impact on nearshore fish habitat and also the potential for impact on species at risk. Each of the above factors were examined in detail, both through a field presence and review of the relevant print material. In addition, satisfactory outcomes were determined and achieved through the cooperation of staffs from MOECC and MNRF, and the staffs of the Township of South Frontenac.
The findings indicate support for the application and recommendations are provided to achieve a low impact development with this approval.

1.O INTRODUCTION / BACKGROUND:
The proponent, Rob Rice, wishes to sever one parcel from an existing lot of record on the east side of Buck Lake (South Basin) in Loughborough District. Severance application S-59-l 8-S; Part Lot
25, Concession 13, reference plan # 1 3R60 1 8; 179 Burnt Point Lane, South Frontenac Township. The existing 11.8 ha+ (29 ac+) parcel contains one cottage (recently lost by fire); there is on the order of 45 7 m + (1500 ft) of shoreline; the access is by way of Burnt Point Lane. The parcel to be severed will have approximately 182.9m + (600ft) of shoreline on the lake and will be approximately 2.83 ha (7.0 ac) in size with road frontage on Burnt Point Lane. Buck Lake is managed by the Ministry of Nahiral Resources and Forestry (MNRF) for a lake trout
fishery and has been determined by the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) through both lake modeling and the evaluation of water quality data to be highly sensitive to increases in nutrient loading. As such, Buck Lake (South Basin) is identified as highly sensitive in the Official Plan (OP) for South Frontenac Township and on the Land Use Plan Map (Schedule A) to the OP and also identified as such in the Comprehensive Zoning By-Law 200375. The highly sensitive designation prohibits the creation of new waterfront lots unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of MOECC that site conditions prevail that will result in nutrient containment.
This EIA demonstrates, that for this application as proposed, the strict and protective conditions required by MOECC for the creation of a new lot on a ‘at capacity’ lake can be achieved and that there will be no impact to the water quality of Buck Lake nor to the habitat for lake trout as a result. 2.O BACKGROtJND INFORMATION

2.2 Buck Lake (South Basin) - Water Quality and Lake Modeling Results There are two water quality parameters of importance related to potential development impacts on
lakes with cold water fisheries; these are lake phosphoms concentrations and oxygen concentrations below the thermocline.
The Provincial Water Quality Objective (PWQO) for phosphorus is 10 ug/L for oligotrophic lakes that are naturally below that level. A review of the MOECC Lake Partner Program sample results from 2002 to 2016 inclusive, show that Buck Lake (South Basin) is close to the 10 ug/L objective. The average total phosphoms (TP) is 9.95 for that period of record; for twelve samples collected in the South Basin of Buck Lake for the year 2016, the average TP concentration was 8.63 ug/L (see Appendix 1). As such every effort should be made to manage phosphoms levels at or below the 10 ug/L threshold. Buck Lake (South Basin) is a deep oligotrophic lake containing a cold-water fishery and is managed by A/TNRF as a lake trout lake with a natural reproducing population. XVhile it appears
fairly large in both area and volume, it ranks only 40’h largest by volume and 41 s’ largest by-area, when compared to 52 other lakes in the above mentioned report; it ranks only 29fh of the 53 lakes when comparing the warm surface water volume to the cold water volume. The warm water
volume (38 x lO6m3) at the end of the summer is almost two times larger than the cold water volume (23 x 1 06 m3). It is this factor that most contributes to the lake sensitivity. Buck Lake (South Basin) was classified as moderately sensitive in the above report. While the lake modelling undertaken in the above mentioned report is still valid today, changes in the oxygen objective to a more restrictive objective has resulted in a reclassification to the highly sensitive category. Since the writing of that report, there is a new PWQO for oxygen and a new methodology has been developed to evaluate and classify lake trout lakes. The PWQO requires a mean volume weighted hypolimnion dissolved oxygen value of 7.0 mg/L. Using the data from both historical and more recent measured oxygen profiles, the MOECC determined that the south basin of Buck Lake could not meet the 7.0 mg/L objective and on that basis re-classified the basin as highly sensitive. This designation is recognized in the Official Plan (OP) (p.21) for South Frontenac Township and is confirmed by MOECC. (Personal communication V. Castro, MOECC). Each of the water quality data, the lake modeling and the ‘highly sensitive’ lake designation are accepted at face value and are considered to be correct and appropriate for Buck Lake. As such, Section 5.2.10 (p.24) of the OP is satisfied and therefore a new lake impact assessment inclusive of lake modelling is not a required to fulfill the conditions of this EIA. 3.O SITE EVALUATION APPROACH:
The evaluation of this site for the potential to sever one new lot on Buck Lake (South Basin) was undertaken with a view to satisfy the requirements of the Township of South Frontenac OP (March 2003) and the Comprehensive Zoning By-Law 2003-75. This approach includes Best Management Practices (BMP) not only for the retained lot but also for the proposed new lot that are protective

of the shoreline buffer area, the lake riparian area, fish habitat and the water quality of Buck Lake (South Basin) as well as the protection of habitats for species at risk. Accordingly, every effort has been made to address the following sections of the OP:
Section 5.2 (Environmemal Protection) (p.l4) addresses development requirements for areas designated Environmental Protection; this designation applies to all wetlands, lakes and watercourses. This designation requires a 30 metre setback from lakes, fish habitat, and wetlands designatedAdemified as EP.
Section 5.2. 7 (p.l9) (Envirotzmentally Sensitive Areas) . … includes a// lands within 90 metres (295’) of the high water mark of lakes and rivers…. 5.2. 7 (a)(i)Coutacil may permit development and site alterations within and adjacent to Etxvironmemally Semitive Areas ….. wherz an Environmemal Impact Assessment . . iiii indicates no negative impacts on naturalfeatures or the ecologicalfunctiotys occur.
5.2. 7(a) (vii)(p.l9) ….site plan control will be used where appropriate to implement remedial measures/mitigatiota measures idemified by an Envirorimemal Impact Assessment.
5.2. 7 (b)(p. 19) (Policies for Developmem and Site Alteration Adjacem to Lakes and Rivers) 5.2. 7 (b)(i) ‘,4// lands within 90 metres of the high water mark of all lakes and rivers which are not designated EP are included as Etivirorimentally Semitive Areas’. Vegetatioti in the setback area should be disturbed as little as possible consistent with pedestrian passage, safeLy, provisiotx of views and vemilation.
5.2. 7(b)(ii)1)(p.20) On lots created subsequent to the approval of this plan and having steep slopes, minimal wood vegetatioti, thin soils and soils with poor phosphorus retention capabiliffl, setbacks of up to 90 metres (295’) may be required. 2) On lots created subsequent to approval of this OP which have fewer constraints, reduced setbacks are permitted with an absolute minimum of 30 metres (98’) for ideal sites.
5.2. 7(b)(ii)4)(p.20)Development and/or site alterations proposed within 30 metres (98’) of the high water mark will require an Environmental Impact Assessment . .. iiii.
Section 5.2. 8 Lake Trout Lakes (p.22) All developmem or site alterations proposed within 30 metres of the high water mark will require the submission of an Environmental ImpactAssessment prepared in accordance with Section 5.2.11. A Lake ImpactAssessment prepared in accordance with Section 5.2.10 of this plan may also be required.

s
Perth Road to the Opinicon Road, then Maple Leaf Road, then Billy Green Road to 179 Burnt Point Lane. The property is indicated on the 1:50,000 topographic map (Westport 31/C9) and the Google Earth image (Figure 2 below). The property is zoned rural. Buck Lake (South Basin) is a basin in the Cataraqui River Watershed and is downstream from the north basin of Buck Lake. Both are located on the Frontenac Axis portion of the Precambrian Shield. The majority of the watershed is forested but historically contained small homesteads with small plots of cleared land; there are active farming practices within the catchment for the South basin of Buck Lake. Most lakes in the area are developed with permanent and seasonal residences. The majority of the shoreline of Buck Lake is developed; there were 15 permanent residences and 191 seasonal residences and 100% of the shoreline is patented lands (MOE/MNR Inland Lake Trout Management in Southeastern Ontario 1993). This is dated information for Buck Lake; the
reality is that many conversions to permanent residences have occurred since the publieation of the above report. :-! 4

Figure 2
The shoreline fronting on Buck Lake is approximately 45 7+ m (1,500 ft) in length. Much of the shoreline rises quickly from the water and is mostly granite outcrop (see photograph 1, below). The water depths along this shoreline drop off quickly, roughly six metres of depth at six metres
off shore; depths and shoreline substrates verified May 24, 2018, during in-water shoreline survey. The interior is very rugged undulating terrain with bare rock outcrops interspersed with areas of deep soils in valley areas typical of Precambrian Shield areas on the Frontenac Axis. At this site a valley (depression) lays inland and parallels the lakeshore at a distance of >30m from the lake that has deep underlying soils in excess of 3m (1 0’) in depth, soil depth confirmed September 26, 2017 during a site visit with Victor Castro (MOECC). The MOECC will consider approval of a new lot on at capacity lakes where it can be demonstrated that there is 3m of natural native parent material soils at the proposed site of the septic bed and in addition that there is a continuous soil mantle of the same depth in a down gradient direction to the lake for a distance of at least 15m; this site meets those conditions.

The property is well treed with a mixed deciduous forest containing white cedar ? occidentalis), red oak (Ouercus velutina), sugar maple (Acer saccharum), white birch ? papyrifera), ironwood ?us caroliniana), basswood (Tilia Americana), shagbark hickory (Carya ovata), stripped maple (Acer pensylvanicum) and white pine (Pinus strobes). Juniper bush (Juniperus horizontalis) is located sporadically along the shoreline and interior along and over some rock outcrops. 6.0 WETLAND and ENVIRONMENTAT ,T,Y SENSITVE (ES) AREA There is an area just east of this property (east of Burnt Point Lane) that is indicated as wetland on
Schedule A to the OP; it is the same area indicated as ES on Schedule B to the Comprehensive Zoning By-law; it is marked as ES-1 on Figures 2 and 3. The ES-1 area is beyond the property boundary and will not be adversely impacted as a result of development on the new proposed lot. The site marked ES-2 (photograph 3 below) is included in the Comprehensive Zoning By-law, in addition there is an area marked ES-3 that is not identified in either document. The area indicated
as ES-2 (Figures 2 and 3) is located in the eastern extent of the Rice property at a distance of > 200m from the proposed septic site and proposed building envelope; this ES area will in no way be impacted by development on the proposed new lot. The area indicated as ES-3, (Figures 2 and 3 ; photograph 2 below), sits behind a rock ridge from the proposed development and will be >30m

None of the above areas indicated as ES are classified as evaluated wetlands. Correspondence from MNRF related to this matter can be found in Appendix 2 (July 17, 2018). 7.O SPECIES AT RISK / THREATENED OR ENDANGERED SPECIES
This property shares a lakefront that also has shoreline fronting on Frontenac Provincial Park in
the north basin of Buck Lake. Frontenac Provincial Park is a threshold wilderness park included in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization ({JNESCO) designated Thousand Islands-Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve. This {?ITNESCO designated area also includes the Thousand Islands National Park and extends into Adirondack State Park in New York
State. The {JNESCO designation applies to all lands, both public and private, in the geographic area known as the Frontenac Arch and includes this property.
Three threatened species of turtles and eastern rat snakes are found within the park and locally and are considered to be Species at Risk (SAR). Eastern Rat Snakes (Elaphe obsoleta obsoleta’), northern map turtles ( Graptemvs geo27aphica), common musk turtles (Stenotherus odoratus’>, and Blanding’s Turtles (Emvdoidea blanditgii) as well as many other species are common.
In order to address these concerns, the author has communicated with Dr. Gabriel Blouin-Demers, Professor at Ottawa University and Dr. Patrick Weatherhead with the University of Illinois ONTARIO LAKE ASSESSMENTS
Page 75 of 231

Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Program; both persons have completed studies on these species in eastern Ontario. In addition, staffs from MNRF, Catherine Warren and Lisa Solomon were
contacted for guidance in dealing with species at risk for this application and also for clarification on issuing Benefits Perrnits (see Appendix 2). 7.1 Eastern (Gray) Rat Snakes (Elaphe obsoleta obsoleta) Eastern (gray) rat snakes are common from New England to the southern states; in Ontario the
species occurs in only two locations, north of lake Erie and in the area of the Frontenac Axis, roughly Westport (Bobs and Crow Lake area, Wolfe and Big Rideau Lake area to Gananoque and Athens area (Gananoque and Charleston Lakes). Eastern rat snakes are tree-climbing constrictors that prey on birds and small rodents. This large and docile snake is subject to human persecution due to ignorance; it is protected under Ontario’s Fish and Game Act. This snake is common in the
U. S. and receives no special status. One of the key measures identified for protection of this species is the identification and protection of hibernacula (information from ‘i=z-i;srixy.rei-x-x.on,ea;oxt’i:arie,(rxsi< ), Dr. Blouin-Demers indicates that rat snake hibernacula are difficult to find. In his 15-year experience the only way to know for sure is to equip snakes with radio transmitters and follow
them to }iibernacula sites. The snakes are la’iown to use the same sites year after year. Dr. Weatherhead also confirmed the need to use telemetry to follow snakes to hibernation sites. Hibernation sites are anywhere a dry cavity can be located below frost level.
Dr. Weatherhead did indicate that the probability of a cottage being placed on a hibernaculum is very remote because the density of hibernacula is so low. He has made a very proactive and practical suggestion as a mitigative measure to protect the snakes during the construction phase. Excavation and building should only be permitted during the period June 1st to September 30’ when snakes have left their hibernaculurns in Eastern Ontario.
This property, both the retained and the proposed parcel to be severed, contains prime habitat for eastern rat snakes. There is lots of woody debris (deadfalls) that provide nesting sites for egg laying and much of the granite ridges have broken rock rubble along their bases that could provide entry points for hibernacula as well as the aedge effect’ created by the ES-2 wetland boundary. A gray rat snake was observed May 16, 2018 (photograph 4 below) and reported to the MNRF Natural Heritage Inforrnation Centre (NHIC) on May 22, 2018.
There is no evidence of possible hibernaculum sites in the proposed building envelope located at a distance of 45m+ from the lake nor in the selected site for the septic bed a distance of 36-3 8m + from the lake (laser range finder). There is however a large granite ridge with much broken rock and fissures at 30m distance both southwest of and northeast of the proposed building envelope (photographs s and 6 below) that r;??contain access to caverns that are below frost line and could serve as hibernaculas for this species.
A survey of the proposed driveway route firom Burnt Point Lane to the building envelope was conducted on July 27, 2018 to ensure the route avoided both the ES areas and any potential areas

where hibernacula sites would be most probable. The route was flagged and is indicated in green on Figure 3. ffi;

Photograph 6- Eroketg Rock Area - 30m Southwest of Building Envelope (May 16, 2018)
Constmction at the site of the proposed building envelope and septic envelope as well as the defined/flagged footprint of the proposed driveway will not destroy critical habitat for gray rat snakes. However, since this area is located in prime habitat for this species a Benefit Perrnit will be required at the time of the constmction of the laneway, residence and septic system. The terms and conditions of the Benefit Perrnit will be determined by MNRF; it may be as easy as building and installing nesting boxes for rat snakes and locating them on the south facing slopes of the ES2 area. For correspondence with MNRF staffs on this matter see Appendix 2 (June 15 and 20, 2018).
7.2 Common Musk Turtles (Stinkpot Turtles) The cormnon musk turtle or stinkpot turtle has a range over much of eastern North America from
the Gulf of Mexico to Ontario. In Ontario it is largely associated with the sedimentary bedrock area south of the Precambrian Shield. It prefers shallow slow moving water t@ically associated with marshes and wetlands. Musk turtles do not bask in the sun on land; instead they bask at the water surface. Musk turtles are protected in Ontario under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act. Threats to this species include habitat loss and collisions with boat propellers (inforrnation from b=i-v=rw.rorn.on.cs?-ioma?ria/risk). Dr. Blouin-Demers believes that the issue of boat collisions with
basking musk and Blanding’ s turtles is not an issue because of their preference for marshy wetland areas.
ONTARIO LAKE ASSESSMENTS
Page 78 of 231

There is no habitat on the proposed lot for stinkpot turtles. 7.3 Blanding’s Turtle Blanding’ s turtle range is from southwest Quebec to southwestern Ontario through the Great Lakes
Region west to Iowa and South Dakota and Missouri plus scattered locals in the New England states. This species is found in lakes, ponds, and marshes with productive eutrophic habitats with soft organic bottoms and abundant aquatic vegetation. Blanding’s turtles often travel inland considerable distances to lay eggs; this results in significant mortality to turtles in high-density road network areas.
Wetland alteration or destruction is believed to be an important factor in the decline of several populations of Blanding’ s turtles. The pet trade industry has also been identified as responsible for declines in Blanding’s and map turtle populations. Dr. Blouin-Demers believes that the issue of
boat collisions with basking musk and Blanding’s turtles is not an issue because of their preference for marshy wetland areas. Blanding’s turtles may frequent the forested areas of the property but the development activity associated with this proposal will not impaet vital habitat for this speeies. 7.4 Northern Map Turtles The northern map turtle ranges from the Great Lakes down the Mississippi River to Louisiana and
east to the Appalachian and Adirondack Mountain barriers. It also occurs in Ontario from Georgian Bay south to Lake Ontario and down the St. Lawrence to the Montreal area. The northern map turtle is not well studied and there is not much evidence to support the position that there has been any decline. Population declines have been documented in southwestern Ontario where up to 70 % of wetlands have been drained.
Map turtles are more of a lake dwelling species that is extremely wary and will dive at the slightest provoca’iion (inforrnation from VA’V?.roYil.o%ll..,x'2:4,lou.lta.rffio./r:.E.‘K). DespIfe this behavior Dr. BloulnDemers reports that on the Rideau and St. Lawrence River many map turtles are injured or wounded by boat propellers. These waterways experience heavy boat traffic and fast boats and PWCs. Map turtles in Ontario are protected under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act.
Several map turtles were observed basking on rocks near to the existing dock on the proposed retained portion on May 24, 2018 (see photograph 7 below). Several photos of these turtles and this basking site were reported on June 11, 2018 to the MNRF Natural Heritage Information Centre (NHIC).
This basking site and the point of land to which it is attached will be part of the retained parcel and there will be no change in landuse or activities near the basking site as a result. There is no aspect of this proposal that will impact this species.

Photograph 7 - Notlhern Map’nirtles - Bmking Rock (May 24, 2018) 8.O FISH HABITAT
The shoreline in front of and adjacent to the proposed new lot and retained lot was examined from
the water May 24’, 201 8; some portions of the shoreline were determined to be habitat that would be considered Type l or Type 2 fish habitat by the MNRF.
Type 1 fish habitats are considered by MNRF to be critical to the overall productive capacity of the fishery. It includes: spawning areas for species with stringent spawning requirements (e.g. coarse rock mbble and boulder size substrate for lake trout spawning shoals; small coarse sand and gravel substrates for bass and centracbidae to spawn); essential rearing and nursery areas for young fish and forage species; very productive feeding areas such as macrophyte beds; refuges (e.g. young-of-year small mouth bass require rocky areas in which to hide to avoid predation); plus many others.
Type 2 fish habitat while still important is not a limiting factor to the overall productive capacity. Type 2 fish habitat includes feeding areas for large fish; cool shelter and shaded refuge areas; plus others.
For Buck Lake (South Basin), of particular interest is the need to protect lake trout near-shore spawning shoals from alteration or harm as a result of dock placement and other human intrusions at the shoreline etc. Lake trout spawning shoals are usually shallow (< l .0m depth) bolder shoals ONTARIO LAKE ASSESSMENTS

and near-shore sites that are exposed to high energy wave wash. Additionally, pea gravel spawning substrate for large and smallmouth bass and near-shore nursery habitat could be of significance The entire in-water shoreline was examined and photographed on May 24, 2018. Much of the documentation of that site visit is recorded on the photographs that follow. The majority of the shoreline drops off relatively quickly into deep water (6-8m) within 6-8 metres from shore. There is one Type 1 habitat location where suitable substrate and site conditions exist for poteritial lake trout spawning use; this is not likely a prime site but is worthy of documentation. (Figure 4 below). Lake trout spawning shoals typically are found near points of land on downwind shorelines in high energy wave wash zones. The location is marked on Figure 4 with 1 *.
There is some suitable habitat for small and largemouth bass spawning in the small bay fronting the proposed retained portion. Eight bass redds were located that were presently active or were used this spring. Much of the Type 2 habitats identified in Figure 4 are characterized by aquatic vascular plants dominated by emergent grasses. Both provide nursery habitat for bass and centrachid species; many small fish were observed in the grasses and the accumulated woody debris. The littoral zone area at the site of the proposed water access for the proposed new lot has a soft organic substrate. It is an accumulation zone here that provides a substrate that encourages a healthy growth of submergent and emergent vascular plant growth (see Photographs 2 and 3 below). Many small centrachidae and minnows were observed here as well as an adult bass. Similar conditions are also located at the mo?itJh of the creek that outlets to the lake near the
southern boundary of the property.

9.O PROPOSED LOT TO BE SEVERED
The parcel to be severed will have approximately 1 82.9m + (600ft) of shoreline on the lake and will be approximately 2.83 ha (7.0 ac) in size with road frontage on Burnt Point Lane. Much of the shorefront rises sharply from the water and makes for difficult water access. The proposed building envelope is located at a distance of approximately 45m from the lake; the proposed septic (weeping bed) envelope lays in a depression between the building envelope and the lake at a distance of 36 to 38m from the lake.
The shoreline at this location rises with a slope of about 60% for the first 1 0m inland from shore (see photograph 8 below) and then declines into a depression where the septic envelope is to be located. Soil depths in this foreslope area are generally shallow (< 25cm) with broken rock mbble at the surface ?iowever the backslope area has three metres of soil depth. The foreslope area is considered to be undisturbed forest and is very well treed at present with lots of dead woody debris on the forest floor. Section 5.2.7b)(iii) of the OP references the ‘Rideau Lakes Basin Carrying Capacities and Proposed Shoreland Development Policies’ for guidance in determining setback distances for development. Using that scoring methodology the setback for development should be 50m from the waterfront for the building envelope and the septic bed. l.m

Photograph 9 - Naave Soil Depth of 3m Confirmd at Septic Envelope Site (Septetnber 26, 201 7)
That scoring works well for the foreslope area but it does not take into consideration the backslope location of the septic bed or the soil chemistry, specifically the iron and aluminum content. The location for the septic bed and test hole depths were examined by Victor Castro during a site visit (September 26, 2017); soil samples were collected and prepared for shipment to Caduceon Environmental Labs for analysis. 10.O SOIL CHEMISTRY and PROPOSED SEPTIC LOCATION:
Discussions began with Victor Castro (MOECC) in the fall of 2016 to determine the requirements of the Ministry to create a new lot on Buck Lake. It was explained that the only circumstance where a new lot could be created was essentially a total contaimnent of nutrients originating from the septic bed. To satisfy this request the native parent soils would have to have:
1% of both Al and Fe and also be acidic;
- tmee metres of native parent material soil depth below the septic bed;
- and ’t’kuee metres depth of native parent materials in a downslope gradient for a distance of 15 metres from the proposed septic bed location and
- 1.5 m of parent material above the saturated zone (water table)*.
- The above are delineated in the Lakeshore Capacity Assessment Handbook May 2010 p. 3 8 and
To satisfy these requirements soil samples were collected from the ‘B’ soil horizon at about l .0 metre depth from test hole (Site 1) on September 15, 2017 and submitted to Caduceon ONTARIO LAKE ASSESSMENTS
Page 83 of 231
18
Environmental Laboratories (see Appendix 3 for test results). The soil results show aluminum levels to be 10000 ug/g (1% by weight), iron levels to be 16800 ug/g (l.68% by weight) and calcium levels to be very low at 3320 ug/g (0.3% by weight). The very low calcium concentrations are indicative of acidic soils and the aluminum and iron concentrations are favourable and therefore
satisfy requirement #1 above. Appendix 2 contains correspondence wath MOECC around the analytical requirements (September & November 2017). In order to satisfy requirements #2, #3 and #4 above, Victor Castro agreed to meet on site to examine the two test holes, one at the proposed septic location (site 1) and one down gradient at a distance of 15m; this was completed on September 26, 2017. It should be noted that two additional test holes were excavated at a greater distance from the lake but much closer to the ES3 area. These test holes also satisfied requirements 1, 2, and 3 above but filled half full of water within 48 hours of being dug and were full of water in the spring, as such these sites were abandoned.
The excavation at site 1, confirmed >3,Om of soil depth; the surface O.5m was brown forest mineral soil containing lots of decomposed organics; the depths below that consisted of a msty brown-gray coloured clay; there were very few rocks (photograph 9). The preserice of the clay soils at depth will necessitate the need for a raised filter-bed. In addition, the excavation to a depth of 3 .0m did not intercept any water and the excavation remained dry after a 48 hour period; a re-examination in the spring (May 16, 2018) found both excavations to continue to be dry. This site is in a backslope area 36-38m horizontal distance from the lake; the parent material soil
chemistry is known to bind phosphoms in perpetuity. The heavy clay parent soils present at depth are also known to remove nutrients.
The site conditions for the septic satisfies all the requirements of MOECC and the KFLAHU for approval of this lot. 11.O SUMMARY:
This proposal and this site are unique and therefore not to be considered precedent setting for the following reasons: l) The proposed lot size is large (2.83 ha:) (7 acres). 2) The proposed lake frontage is large (183m -!-). 3) The lake frontage cannot be further divided. 4) The septic location is in a back-slope area > 30 m from the lake. 5) The building envelope is > 45 m from the lake. 6) The septic location has >3m depth of soil parent materials. 7) The parent soils are high in Al and Fe and are acidic and therefore bind nutrients and meet all the requirements of MOECC for highly sensitive at capacity lakes. 8) The water table is >3 metres below the surface at the proposed septic bed location. 9) The septie system will be a Class IV system with a raised bed and wul meet all the requirements of the KFLAHU. ONTARIO LAKE ASSESSMENTS

- The proposed building envelope wiu not interfere with the geologic formations nearby that ? be rat snake habitat.
- Sensitive fish habitat identified wiu remain with the retained portion; the shoreline fronting the proposed new lot does not contain Type 1 or Type 2 fish habitat.
- There are no species at risk issues with respect to the building envelope, the septic location, the proposed driveway construction/location or the waterfront access.
- A SAR Benefit Permit for gray rat snakes will have to be acquired at the time of construction for both the driveway and the residence. 12.O RECOMMENDATIONS:
The lot should be approved conditional upon proceeding by way of Site Plan Control.
The septic envelope (weeping bed) and the building envelope should be surveyed and their locations indicated as a condition of approval.
The setback for the residenee should be 45m"- horizontal distanee from the water.
The septic tank must be located in the back-slope area near the building envelope; the septic bed must be located at the site of the test excavation; 36-38m from the lake.
s. 6. 7. 8.
Access to the water must be by way of a floating dock; final permits for location and shoreline alteration to be arranged with the CRCA. The natural trees/vegetation in the 30m setback must be maintained in a natural state; allowing for minor trimming and clearing to create a view and ventilation. No maintained ’lawn’ area is to be permitted within the 30nn setback distance. Best Management Practices to be used for the duration of the construction period to contain sediment and debris on site; e.g. staked hay bales across the downslope from the septic bed until a sod is established.
No grading or construction / excavating / landscaping can be undertaken beyond the building envelope, particularly in the areas depieted in photos #5 and 6. 10. The location of the entrance driveway must be surveyed and identified and included in the Site Plan Control document as a condition of approval. 11. A SAR Benefit Permit from MNRF for gray rat snakes will have to be acquired at the time of construction for both the driveway and the residence. 9.

MOECC LAKE PARTNER PROGRAM PHOSPHORUS DATA BUCK LAKE (STN 6186, Site ID 10)
S Bay, 8 of Narrows The Lake Partner Program is a province-wide, volunteer-based, water-quality monitoring program. Voiuriteers collect total phosphorus sanipies and make monthly water clarity observations on their lakes. This information will al!ow the eariy detection of changes in the nutrient status and/or the water c!arity of the Iake 6ue tc the impacts of shoreline development, climate change and other stresses. ,Approxirnatel y 800 active volunteers monitor Secchi depth and total phosphorus at 728 Iocations in the lakes across Ontario.
Total phosphorus concentration are ideally used to interpret nutrient status iii Ontario Iakes, since phosphorus is the element that conti-ols tl’ie growth of algae in mosl? On’l:ario rakes. !ncreases in phospiiorus wiil decrease water clarity b>i stimu!ating algal growth. In extreme cases, algal blooms will affect the aesthetics of the lake anJ/or cause taste and odour problems in the water. Many limnologtsts place Iakes rnto three broad ca?egories with respect to nutrient status. Lakes with
iess thaf 10 [Jg/L TP are considered oiigotrophic. These are dilute, unproauctive lakes that i-arely experience nuisance algal blooms. Lakes with TP between 10 and 20 4g/L are termed mesotrophic and are in the middle with respect to ti-ophic status. These lakes show a broad range of characteristics ancI can be clear and ui?iproductive at the b0kkoiTl end of tlThe scale or suscep’(!ble fo modera?e algal blooms at concentration near 20 l.ig/L Lakes over 20 pg/L are classed as eutrophic and may exhibit persistent, nuisance a!gal brooms.
Note: Tea stained Iakes, with high dissofved organic carbon (DOC), are called dystrophic lakes and do not share the algal/TP relationships described above. Generally there can be more TP in a dystrophic Iake without the occurrence of algal blooms. The chemistry of these lakes is quite complex.

Hi Reg,
No, these wetland has r7?? been evaluated. We don’t have locally significant wetlands as part of OWES. It’s either PSW or it’s not. You would have to ask the municipality why these are designated EP/ ES iands.

Since there are other wetiands in the area that are classified as PSWs my guess is that this wetiand has been evaluated
but does not carry with it the importance to be part of a PSW Wetland Complex. None-the-Iess they are present and indicated as either EP or ES on the schedules and still need to be protected.

I am working on an EIA for a severance on Buck Lake (South Basin). In response to a Ietter from the CRCA to SFT regarding the application, l asked a question of Andrew Schmidt regarding the characterization of a wetland area as being classified as’ Iocally significant’. Andrew’s reply is in red below.
On page 1 of your letter you reference a ‘Iocally significant wetland feature’ being Iocated on the property. I cannot find any reference that supports the classification of this ES feature as being Iocally significant. It would be appreciated if you could provide me a reference for that evaluation. I would suggest speaking witii MNRF about this siiice our mapping layers come from them and they should have the original evaluation in their records. I have attached two graphics to help Iocate the site. The area marked ES-1 (Environmentally Sensitive) is taken from Schedule ‘B’ of the SFT Zoning By-law; it is also identified as EP (Environmental Protection) on Schedule ‘A’ to the OP. It (the area marked ES-1) is not even on the property to be severed; it lays east of the Burnt Point Road and both north and south of the Billy Green Road. The area marked ES-2 does not show up on either the schedules to the OP or the
Zoning By-law. The area marked ES-2 is however partially on the proposed parcel to be severed. I have surveyed this site, it is wet during the spring freshet period and is dry the balance of the year; dominated by wetland grass species and alder growth. The star indicated on the graphics mark the area of the proposed building envelope. I suspect that the ES-1 sites as marked may be classified as locally significant but need some documentation that supports that classification. Thank you for your assistance.

RE: Benefit Permit
Hello Reg,
Thanks very much for the information about this proposed severance. Regarding ariy potentia! benefit permits, the short answei- is they would be negotiated rust prior to when/if the building project that may affect species at risk occurs.
It is a good question because the ‘!jeve!opment” as defined by the PPS is occurring at the Iot creation stage. So 2.1 .7 of the PPS is relevant to this discussion, however the provincial requirements in this case are for when the species in question will be impacted (so at the building stage). !t makes the rriost sense to assess the impacts to the species and habitat closer to the building stage so that you can have an up-to-date understanding of which species and habitats wil! be affected. Species !ocatioris and habitat conditions can change over time. P!ease let me know if you have any questions about this. Ali the best, Catherine From: Reg Genge [mailto:rgenge@xplornet.ca?

I am conducting an EIA for a proposed severance on Buck Lake (South Basin), South Frontenac Township. Buck Lake is an at capacity designated lake, managed for lake trout; it is recognised as such in the OP and Zoning By-Iaw. There are however provisions in both documents that allow for creation of a new Iot if certain soils/geophysical conditions are present on site. The geophysical conditions are specified by MOECC.
Victor Castro, from MOECC, has been on site with me and confirmed the soils/geophysical conditions are satisfactory for Iocating a septic bed. In addition, a building envelope for the residence must be identified and designated using Site Plan Control. There are rat snakes regionally and locally; l have reported them to the NHIC. A building envelope has been identified where there is the least potential to impact rat snake habitat.
My question is, ‘At what stage in the planning process is a Benefits Permit required’? This property owner is trying to satisfy a future family Iegacy by having a Iot for each of his two children. The newly created lot will not likely have a building on site for a long period of time. Is the Benefit Permit required at the Iot creation stage (essentially a paper exercise) or is it required at the building permit stage which may come years Iater when actual disturbance of the site

occurs? If the Benefit Permit is required at the Iot creation stage does it become a condition of approval and who determines whether the conditions of the Benefit Permit have been met?
If you can clarify these questions it would be helpful. Regards, Reg Reginald E. Genge B.Sc. Ontario Lake Assessments Environmental Consulting 3654 Stage Coach Road, RR # 3 HARROWSMITH, Ontario KOH IVO 613-305-3863 Cell r ell e x lornet.ca

Thank you for attending at the site visit to 179 Burnt Point Lane today, Sep. 26, 2017. As you are aware the property owner is interested in creating a new lot on Buck Lake (South Basin). Buck Lake is designated as at capacity. Prior to application for the severance he is trying to determine if the site can meet all of the MOECC criteria for the creation of a new lot on ‘at capacity’ designated lakes. To that end, four test holes vvere dug at the site. We observed them, photographed them and discussed them on site. You collected a soil sample from approximately 1.0 m depth (bottom of B-horizon) soil strata from test pit #1 for
analysis at the MOECC Iab. l collected a sample from this site as well (on Sep 15fh) and will submit it to an independent lab for analysis. Test pits #1 and 2 have been dug since Sepl5th past and both remained dry; both have heavy clay soil at depth; approximately 1.0 metre depth below the surface. Test pits #3 and #4 are Iocated further from the lake but are very close (< 15m) to an EP area located east of the test pits; both of these pits had approximately O.5 m of water in the
bottom; the same depth that was observed on Sep. 15th ; the day they were dug. According to my understanding, you are satisfied that the depth of parent material criteria is met on the site; both for the proposed septic location and also at a site >15m down gradient from the septic Iocation. The next step in the process is to see if the soil analysis meets the chemical criteria, elevated Fe and Al and low CaCo3. If both of these criteria are satisfied, then Mr. Rice will proceed with the application for severance. The application for severance will then trigger the need for a full EIA which will cover off the above details as well as both in-water (fisheries related) and on land concerns (EP area and SARi some of which we discussed on site. If there are any errors or omissions please bring them to my attention. Thanks again.

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT PLANNING REPORT – CONSENT APPLICATION Report Date: October 6, 2018 Application No: Owner: Location of Property:
S-80-18-P Sindall and Cross Part Lot 17, Concession 4, District of Portland, Township of South Frontenac, municipally known as 4183 Camden Portland Boundary Road Purpose of Application: Consent to create one commercial lot Date of Hearing: October 11, 2018
Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and pending comments received approve application S-80-18-P for the creation of one new commercial lot with frontage on Camden Portland Boundary Road.
Proposal An application for consent has been received for the creation of one new commercial lot from an existing rural property at Part Lot 17, Concession 4, District of Portland, Township of South Frontenac, municipally known as 4183 Camden Portland Boundary Road (see attached map). The existing lot has frontage on Camden Portland Boundary Road and is developed with an existing dwelling and recently refurbished barn. The applicant is proposing to sever approximately 5.05 acres from the existing 35 acre lot in order to create one new commercial lot with frontage on Camden Portland Boundary Road that will contain the existing dwelling and refurbished barn. S-80-18-P Consent application S-80-18-P is for the creation of a developed commercial lot that is approximately 5 acres in area. The proposed lot will have approximately 235 metres of frontage along the Township maintained road and a depth of approximately 100 metres. The lot will irregularly shaped due to the configuration of the existing lot and angle of the northern lot boundary. A commercial entrance will need to be applied for and property rezoned through an application to Council to permit commercial activities in the existing barn. Retained Lot The retained lands will consist of approximately 31 acres with approximately 144 metres of frontage along Camden Portland Boundary Road. The retained lands will be vacant, but it is anticipated that they will be developed for residential purposes. A rezoning application has been submitted to permit a dwelling and secondary unit located in an ancillary building on the property.
Planning Analysis Consistent with Provincial Policy Statement, 2014: Current Official Plan Designation: Application conforms with Official Plan, 2003: Current Zoning: Complies with Zoning Bylaw 2003-75:
Yes Rural Yes, once rezoned to commercial Rural Yes
Provincial Policy Statement (2014) The 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides direction on matters of Provincial interest related to land use planning and development. The PPS promotes efficient land use and development patterns that support strong, liveable and healthy communities, protect the environment and public health and safety, and facilitate economic growth. When assessing consent applications on rural lands, planning authorities must comply with Section 1.1.5.1 of the PPS; this section requires application of relevant policy of Section 1: Building Healthy Communities, Section 2: Wise Use and Management of Recourses, and Section 3: Protecting Public Health and Safety by the approval authority. Section 1: Building Healthy Communities of the PPS promotes the building of strong, healthy communities and includes policies about avoiding development and land use patterns which may cause environmental or public health and safety concerns. Section 1.1.5.2 of the PPS permits limited Page 101 of 231
REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT residential development on rural lands and Section 1.1.5.4 promotes development that is compatible with the rural landscape and can be sustained by rural service levels. Section 1.1.5.3 states that recreational, tourism and other economic opportunities should be promoted on rural lands. The proposed consent application will result in the creation of one new lot for commercial purposes; from the site plan submitted a commercial craft brewery is proposed for the severed lands. Section 2: Wise Use and Management of Resources of the PPS contains policies that encourage the protection of natural heritage, water, agricultural, mineral and cultural heritage and archaeological resources for their economic, environmental and social benefits. No further developed is proposed for the severed lands and no natural features were identified. Section 3: Protecting Public Health and Safety directs development away from areas of natural or human-made hazards where there is an unacceptable risk to public health or safety or of property damage. No natural or human-made hazards were identified on the subject property or neighbouring property that would impact public health and safety. County of Frontenac Official Plan, 2016 The County of Frontenac Official Plan is a framework for guiding development in the County through the management and protection of the natural environment and by providing direction and influence on growth patterns. It is focused on the six themes of economic sustainability, growth management, community building, housing and social services, heritage and culture, and environmental sustainability. Section 3.3 Rural Lands provides policies for all lands outside of the settlement areas. The Plan recognizes that rural lands are used as an alternative location for those preferring a rural lifestyle. The Plan also speaks to promoting the tourism economy of the County by ensuring suitable lands are available to satisfy demands for tourist and tourism-relate development. Economic diversification is supported including new small scale industrial-type ventures including craft breweries. Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, 2003 The subject property is designated as Rural in the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan. Policies of the Rural designation speak to permitting development that is consistent with maintaining the Township’s rural, natural heritage, and cultural landscape. Section 5.7.4 Rural Residential Policies permit limited non-agricultural development within the Rural area. As a rule, the minimum lot sizes are to be 2 acres (0.8 hectares) with 76 metres (250 feet) of frontage along a public road. Further, a maximum of three rural residential severances may be permitted from a lot existing as of the date of adoption of the plan. The proposed new lot to be created is for commercial purposes and as such, does not fall within the maximum number of permitted rural residential severances; in the recommended conditions is the fact that the property be rezoned prior to the stamping of the deeds to ensure the property is used for commercial purposes. Section 5.7.5 of the Official Plan permits rural commercial uses that include commercial operations related to: those which are agriculturally and rurally oriented, recreationally and resort oriented, and highway commercial uses which serve the needs of the travelling public. Under recreational and resort commercial uses include gift and craft shops as well as restaurants or snack bars and similar uses. The proposal to create a craft brewery will create a niche rural commercial use. Township of South Frontenac Zoning Bylaw The property is zoned Rural (R) in the Township of South Frontenac Zoning Bylaw. The intent of the Rural zoning is to permit a variety of uses including agriculture and residential. The applicant has submitted a zoning bylaw amendment application to rezone the severed lands from Rural to Rural Commercial to permit a commercial craft brewery; it recommended as a condition of consent that the severed lands be rezoned to meet the policy intent of the Official Plan. The retained lands will remain zoned Rural which will permit residential uses. The retained land will be of sufficient size to permit a hobby farm; an MDS calculation will be required for the construction of a livestock facility. Provisions in the Bylaw regulate the placement of future structures on both the severed and retained lands, including yard setback, parking regulation and building coverage.

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT PLANNING REPORT – CONSENT APPLICATION Report Date: October 6, 2018 Application No: Owner: Location of Property:
S-83-18-P, S-84-18-P, S-85-18-P Smith (Agent: Smith) Part Lots 4 & 5, Concession 14, District of Portland, Township of South Frontenac (1023 Pepper Lane) Purpose of Application: Consent to create three new lots Date of Hearing: October 11, 2018
Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and pending comments received approve applications S-83-18-P, S-84-18-P and S-85-18-P for the creation of three new l lots with frontage on Howes Lake.
Proposal Applications for consent has been received for the creation of three new lots from an existing property at Part Lots 4 & 5, Concession 14, District of Portland, Township of South Frontenac, municipally known as 1023 Pepper Lane (see attached map). The existing lot has frontage on Hinchinbrooke Road North and is developed with a dwelling being accessible by Pepper Lane, a private right-of-way that dissects the property. The lot is heavily vegetated with a cleared easement for the Hydro One transmission corridor. The application is proposing to sever approximately 30 acres from the existing 55 acre lot to create three new residential lots with frontage on Howes Lake and Hinchinbrooke Road North. S-83-18-P Consent application S-83-18-P is for the creation of a vacant rural waterfront residential lot. The proposed new lot will have approximately 126 metres of frontage along Hinchinbrooke Road North, approximately 104 metres of frontage along Howes Lake and is approximately 11.5 acres in area. The lot will be irregularly shaped with a depth of approximately 225 metres; the irregular shapes results from the configuration of the existing lot and frontage along Howes Lake. A new entrance is proposed off Hinchinbrooke Road North to accommodate future development on the severed lot. S-84-18-P Consent application S-84-18-P is for the creation of a vacant rural waterfront residential lot. The proposed new lot will have approximately 84 metres of frontage along Hinchinbrooke Road North, approximately 141 metres of frontage along Howes Lake and is approximately 5.6 acres in area. The lot will be regularly shaped with a depth of approximately 275 metres. A new entrance is proposed off Hinchinbrooke Road North to accommodate future development on the severed lot. The Hydro One transmission corridor terminates at the property before crossing Howes Lake. S-85-18-P Consent application S-85-18-P is for the creation of a vacant rural waterfront residential lot. The proposed new lot will have approximately 105 metres of frontage along Hinchinbrooke Road North, approximately 105 metres of frontage along Howes Lake and is approximately 13.1 acres in area. The lot will be irregularly shaped with a depth of approximately 320 metres along each side. The irregular shape of the lot results from previous lot creation along Howes Lake and the configuration of the shoreline. A new entrance is proposed off Hinchinbrooke Road North to accommodate future development on the severed lot. A right-of-way access is also proposed from Pepper Lane to provide access to the waterfront without requiring the construction of a road under the Hydro One transmission corridor. Retained Lot The retained lands will consist of approximately 24 acres in area with approximately 193 metres of frontage along Hinchinbrooke Road North and 335 metres of frontage along Howes Lake. The retained lands will contain the dwelling on the property as well as Pepper Lane, a right-of-way that dissects the property. No further development is proposed for the retained lands.

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT Planning Analysis Consistent with Provincial Policy Statement, 2014: Current Official Plan Designation: Application conforms with Official Plan, 2003: Current Zoning: Complies with Zoning Bylaw 2003-75:
Yes Rural, Environmental Protection Yes Rural Yes
Provincial Policy Statement (2014) The 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides direction on matters of Provincial interest related to land use planning and development. The PPS promotes efficient land use and development patterns that support strong, liveable and healthy communities, protect the environment and public health and safety, and facilitate economic growth. When assessing consent applications on rural lands, planning authorities must comply with Section 1.1.5.1 of the PPS; this section requires application of relevant policy of Section 1: Building Healthy Communities, Section 2: Wise Use and Management of Recourses, and Section 3: Protecting Public Health and Safety by the approval authority. Section 1: Building Healthy Communities of the PPS promotes the building of strong, healthy communities and includes policies about avoiding development and land use patterns which may cause environmental or public health and safety concerns. Section 1.1.5.2 of the PPS permits limited residential development on rural lands in addition to resource-based recreational uses in Ontario municipalities and in Section 1.1.5.4 promotes development that is compatible with the rural landscape and can be sustained by rural service levels. Section 1.1.4.1 a. speaks to building upon rural character and leveraging rural amenities. The consent application will result in the creation of three new rural waterfront residential lots that can be adequately serviced. The proposed lots meet the Township minimum provisions for the creation of a new lot in the rural designation and for those created with waterfrontage. Section 2: Wise Use and Management of Resources of the PPS contains policies that encourage the protection of natural heritage, water, agricultural, mineral and cultural heritage and archaeological resources for their economic, environmental and social benefits. Quinte Conservation provided comments dated September 29, 2018, stating that they have no objection to the applications as presented. Quinte Conservation reviewed the proposal for natural hazard policies and natural heritage policies of the Provincial Policy Statement. Section 3: Protecting Public Health and Safety directs development away from areas of natural or human-made hazards where there is an unacceptable risk to public health or safety or of property damage. No natural or human-made hazards were identified on the subject property or neighbouring property that would impact public health and safety. County of Frontenac Official Plan, 2016 The County of Frontenac Official Plan is a framework for guiding development in the County through the management and protection of the natural environment and by providing direction and influence on growth patterns. It is focused on the six themes of economic sustainability, growth management, community building, housing and social services, heritage and culture, and environmental sustainability. Section 3.3 Rural Lands provides policies for all lands outside of the settlement areas. The Plan recognizes that rural lands are used as an alternative location for those preferring a rural lifestyle. Section 3.3.3.4 Special Policies – Waterfront Area list an overall goal of the Plan to improve and protect the waterfront areas in Frontenac County as a significant cultural, recreational, economic, and natural environment resources and to maintain or enhance the quality of the land areas adjacent to the shore. Sufficient area exists on the severed lots to meet the required waterbody setbacks. Section 4.2: Servicing provides policies for the use of private services provided that site conditions are suitable for the long-term provision of such services with no negative impacts. KFL&A Public Health was circulated the application and have no objection to the proposed severance as confirmed in correspondence provided October 1, 2018. Township of South Frontenac Official Plan Page 117 of 231
REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT The subject property is designated as Rural and Environment Protection in the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan. Policies of the Rural designation speak to permitting development that is consistent with maintaining the Township’s rural, natural heritage, and cultural landscape. Section 5.7.4 Rural Residential Policies permit limited non-agricultural development within the Rural area. As a rule, the minimum lot sizes are to be 2 acres (0.8 hectares) with 76 metres (250 feet) of frontage along a public road and 91 metres of frontage along the waterfront for waterfront lots. Further, a maximum of three rural residential severances may be permitted from a lot existing as of the date of adoption of the plan. Lots shall be serviced by private water and sanitary sewage disposal systems. The proposed severed lots meet the minimum lot sizes and frontage and are located along a Township road. With regard to the Environmental Protection designation on the Official Plan Land Use Schedule, the overlay is primarily contained on the retained lands (where no further development is proposed) as well as along the lots that were previously severed before the adoption of the Official Plan. The configuration of the Official Plan Land Use schedule does not match with the survey sketch provided in terms of distance and placement of the Environmental Protection designation. However, suitable space exists on the severed lots to build outside of the Environmental Protection designation, which appears as though to encompass the 30 metre required setback. Further, Quinte Conservation reviewed the application for natural heritage policies of the Provincial Policy Statement and are satisfied that the applications as presented are consistent with the natural heritage policies of the Provincial Policy Statement. Township of South Frontenac Zoning Bylaw The property is zoned Rural (R) in the Township of South Frontenac Zoning Bylaw. The intent of the Rural zoning is to permit a variety of uses including agriculture and residential. The proposed new lots will exceed the minimum lot area and frontage requirements for single detached residential uses. Provisions in the Bylaw regulate the placement of future structures on the severed lots, including yard setbacks, building coverage and the required 30 metre setback from Howes Lake. The lots will be of sufficient size to permit a hobby farm; an MDS calculation will be required for the construction of a livestock facility with each of the lots being permitted a separate maximum nutrient unit based on overall area. Sufficient area exists on the severed lands to achieve the required setbacks from any environmental features to the north of the lot. The proposed development conforms to both the County and Township Official Plan and meets the provisions for new lot creation in the Rural zone in the Township Zoning Bylaw.
Agency Analysis and Comments Hydro One Networks Inc. Facilities and Real Estate – Comments provided September 25, 2018 indicate that Hydro One Networks Inc. have completed a preliminary review of the severance applications and have no objection in principle to the proposed severances, provided their easement rights are protected and maintained. They advise that any placement of permanent structures, facilities or landscaping within the transmission corridor is prohibited without written approval. Public Works Department – Public Works has no objection to approving entrance permits for the proposed lot. KFL&A Public Health – In comments provided October 1, 2018, KFL&A Public Health indicated that they have no objection to the severance applications. Soil conditions on the lot will require additional suitable granular soil to construct the septic system. The proposed lots are flexible in siting the septic system, which will be determined when an application to construct a sewage disposal system is applied for. However, the system will need to be located in an area where there is 10 inches of naïve soil over bedrock. Public Comments – As of the time of writing, public comments have been received from Anne Robertson, a member of the Land Acquisition Committee for the Land Conservancy of Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, with regard to consent application S-83-18. The Land Conservancy owns the property to the north east of proposed severed lot. Questions were addressed to Township staff regarding the number of severances permitted, development proposed, provisions for protection of the waterfront area, forestry and access to the lot. The email provided to the Township is included in the Committee of Adjustment agenda. Planning staff have replied to the email and offered to set up a meeting or phone conversation in advance of the Committee meeting to address any further concerns and answer any questions.

(“HONI”) has completed a preliminary review of the above noted consent to sever application. As the subject property is abutting and/or bisected by a HONI high voltage transmission corridor (the “transmission corridor”), HONI has no objection in principle to the proposed severance, provided HONI’s easement rights are protected and maintained. Please be advised that any placement of permanent structures, facilities or landscaping within the transmission corridor is prohibited without the prior written approval of HONI. If in the future the owner proceeds with a site plan, plan of subdivision and/or plan of condominium application, the owner must make arrangements satisfactory to HONI for lot grading and drainage, and any proposed uses on the transmission corridor. The costs of any relocations or revisions to HONI facilities which are necessary to accommodate this proposal will become the responsibility of the developer. Our preliminary review only considers issues affecting HONI’s transmission facilities and transmission corridor lands. For any proposals affecting distribution facilities (low voltage), the developer should consult the local distribution supplier. If you have any questions, please contact me at dennis.derango@hydroone.com or at 905-946-6237.

Unfortunately this did not reach you earlier due to a misprint in my e mail to you Anne From: Anne Robertson Sent: October-05-18 1:34 PM To: ‘mrueckwald@sfrontenac.net’ Cc: Subject: Re: Severance 1023 Pepper Lane RE: Committee of Adjustment Hearing Thursday 11 October for 1023 Pepper Lane Megan Rueckwald
The Land Conservancy for Kingston, Frontenac Lennox and Addington owns property abutting proposed severance S-8318-P (off Pepper Lane and adjacent to Howes Lake). The Meyer Woods property (roughly 200 acres) is protected for its natural values by this organisation in perpetuity. I was unable to view this application on the morning of Friday 5 October at the Township Offices We are concerned that this severance could create a property that might impact the south east corner of our land. Six questions/comments/concerns: 1 Why are three lots being proposed by consent rather than by plan of subdivision? 2 The habitat along the proposed northern boundary and Howes Lake shoreline of S-83-8-P is unspoiled forest and lakeshore. Development could impact the natural values of Meyer Woods 3 The proposed is a large lot. What is the chance of multiple homes or condominiums as opposed to a single dwelling as this is proposed residential? 4 Would the forest be left intact or could it be clear cut? May we suggest a wide strip of forest be maintained along the boundary. 5. Do existing rules prevent clearing too much vegetation along the Lakeshore. 6 Will access be from Pepper Lane or North Hinchinbrooke Road- if the latter how close to the north boundary will the access be?
Since written comments need to reach you by Thursday 11 October your prompt response will be appreciated. Anne Anne Robertson for Land Acquisition Committee

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT PLANNING REPORT – CONSENT APPLICATION Report Date: October 6, 2018 Application No: Owner: Location of Property:
S-86-18-B Terry Part Lot 21, Concession 7, District of Bedford, Township of South Frontenac Purpose of Application: Consent to create one new lot Date of Hearing: October 11, 2018
Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and pending comments received approve application S-86-18-B for the creation of one new rural residential lot, pending receipt of comments from KFL&A Public Health indicating that the lot can be adequately serviced prior to the meeting.
Proposal An application for consent has been received for the creation of one new lot from an existing property at Part Lot 21, Concession 7, District of Bedford, known municipally as 169 Green Bay Road (see attached map). The existing lot has frontage on Green Bay Road, Garrett Road, and Firehall Road and is approximately 31 hectares (77 acres) in area. The subject property is developed with a dwelling with access from Green Bay Road. The remainer of the lot is naturally vegetated and contains a tributary, wetlands, and a pond. The applicant is proposing to sever approximately 10 acres from the existing 77 acre lot to create one new rural residential lot with frontage on Green Bay Road. S-86-18-B Consent application S-86-18-B is for the creation of a vacant rural residential lot. The proposed new lot will have approximately 96 metres of frontage along Green Bay Road and is approximately 10 acres in area. The lot will be regularly shaped with a depth of approximately 380 metres. A new entrance is proposed off Green Bay Road to accommodate future development on the severed lot. Retained Lot The retained lands will consist of approximately 67 acres in area with approximately 425 metres of frontage along Green Bay Road, and approximately 280 metres of frontage along Garrett Road and Firehall Road. The retained lands will contain the dwelling located on the property. No further development is proposed for the retained lands.
Planning Analysis Consistent with Provincial Policy Statement, 2014: Current Official Plan Designation: Application conforms with Official Plan, 2003: Current Zoning: Complies with Zoning Bylaw 2003-75:
Yes Rural Yes Rural Yes
Provincial Policy Statement (2014) The 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides direction on matters of Provincial interest related to land use planning and development. The PPS promotes efficient land use and development patterns that support strong, liveable and healthy communities, protect the environment and public health and safety, and facilitate economic growth. When assessing consent applications on rural lands, planning authorities must comply with Section 1.1.5.1 of the PPS; this section requires application of relevant policy of Section 1: Building Healthy Communities, Section 2: Wise Use and Management of Recourses, and Section 3: Protecting Public Health and Safety by the approval authority. Section 1: Building Healthy Communities of the PPS promotes the building of strong, healthy communities and includes policies about avoiding development and land use patterns which may cause environmental or public health and safety concerns. Section 1.1.5.2 of the PPS permits limited Page 139 of 231
REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT residential development on rural lands in Ontario municipalities and in Section 1.1.5.4 promotes development that is compatible with the rural landscape and can be sustained by rural service levels. Section 1.1.4.1 a. speaks to building upon rural character and leveraging rural amenities. The consent application will result in the creation of one new rural residential lot that can be adequately serviced. The proposed lot meets the Township minimum provisions for the creation of a new lot in the rural designation for residential purposes. Section 2: Wise Use and Management of Resources of the PPS contains policies that encourage the protection of natural heritage, water, agricultural, mineral and cultural heritage and archaeological resources for their economic, environmental and social benefits. The aerial imagery indicated that there is a wetland at the rear of the subject property, as well as a pond and tributary on the retained lands. Rideau Valley Conservation Authority was circulated the application and in correspondence dated October 3, 2018 stated they have no objection to the application. RVCA did recommend that the southern boundary of the lot be moved northward approximately 200 feet to prevent the lot line from dissecting a watercourse. RVCA does not object to the application if the lot line is not adjusted. Section 3: Protecting Public Health and Safety directs development away from areas of natural or human-made hazards where there is an unacceptable risk to public health or safety or of property damage. No natural or human-made hazards were identified on the subject property or neighbouring property that would impact public health and safety. County of Frontenac Official Plan, 2016 The County of Frontenac Official Plan is a framework for guiding development in the County through the management and protection of the natural environment and by providing direction and influence on growth patterns. It is focused on the six themes of economic sustainability, growth management, community building, housing and social services, heritage and culture, and environmental sustainability. Section 3.3 Rural Lands provides policies for all lands outside of the settlement areas. The Plan recognizes that rural lands are used as an alternative location for those preferring a rural lifestyle. Section 4.2: Servicing provides policies for the use of private services provided that site conditions are suitable for the long-term provision of such services with no negative impacts. KFL&A Public Health was circulated the application and have not yet provided formal comments. Planning staff are recommending approval of the application pending confirmation that the site can be adequately serviced in advance of the meeting. Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, 2003 The subject property is designated as Rural in the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan. Policies of the Rural designation speak to permitting development that is consistent with maintaining the Township’s rural, natural heritage, and cultural landscape. Section 5.7.4 Rural Residential Policies permit limited non-agricultural development within the Rural area. As a rule, the minimum lot sizes are to be 2 acres (0.8 hectares) with 76 metres (250 feet) of frontage along a public road. Further, a maximum of three rural residential severances may be permitted from a lot existing as of the date of adoption of the plan. Lots shall be serviced by private water and sanitary sewage disposal systems. The proposed severed lot meets the minimum lot sizes and frontage and is located along a Township road. Township of South Frontenac Zoning Bylaw The property is zoned Rural (R) in the Township of South Frontenac Zoning Bylaw. The intent of the Rural zoning is to permit a variety of uses including agriculture and residential. The proposed new lot will meet the minimum lot area and frontage requirements for a single detached residential uses. Provisions in the Bylaw regulate the placement of future structures on the severed lot, including yard setbacks and building coverage. The lot will be a sufficient size to permit a hobby farm; an MDS calculation will be required for the construction of a livestock facility. Sufficient area exists on the severed lands to achieve the required setbacks from any environmental features to the south of the lot. The proposed development conforms to both the County and Township Official Plan and meets the provisions for new lot creation in the Rural zone in the Township Zoning Bylaw.

Subject:
TERRY, Douglas; Application for Consent S-68-18-B 169 Green Bay Road, Part Lot 21, Concession 7; Former Township of Bedford, Now the Township of South Frontenac; Roll Number: 10290l00502280000000 —
Dear Ms. Dodds, The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) has reviewed the subject application within the context of: —
Section 2.1 Natural Heritage, 2.2 Water and 3.1 Natural Hazards of the Provincial Policy Statement under Section 3 of the Planning Act; The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (“Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alteration to Shorelines and Watercourses” regulation 174/06 under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act); The Mississippi-Rideau Source Water Protection Plan; The Rideau Lakes Wolfe Lake Catchment Report; The Rideau Lakes Basin Carrying Capacities and Proposed Shoreland Development —
Policies The Proposal The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority understands this proposal to be for the creation of a new, rectangular lot with an approximate area of 4.04 hectares. The stated purpose of the lot would be for the creation of a residential dwelling serviced with private well and septic systems. The proposed, severed lot would have an approximate frontage and depth of 96 metres and 383 metres, respectively. The proposed, retained lot would be approximately 27.1 hectares in area with approximate frontage and depth of 278 metres (on F irehall Road) and 645 metres, respectively. The proposed, retained lot would be irregular in shape. The Property The lands to be severed have a varying topography. Exposed bedrock was observed in some locations with higher relative elevations, while sandy/loarny soil was also observed throughout the site. The area is heavily treed, but also has areas with shrubby vegetation, likely due to the presence of bedrock and thin soils in some locationsor unevaluated wetlands.
Page 1 of 4
Page 144 of 231
A review of the aerial photography for the subject property indicates the presence of a watercourse which traverses it in a roughly east-west fashion. This watercourse appears to be linked to unevaluated wetlands both down and upstream, some of which are located on the subject property. Ultimately this watercourse is connected to Burridge Lake. A map has been attached for reference and includes other features observed during the site visit to the property.
The site visit to this property occurred on the afternoon of September 26, 2018. While walking the property, a headwater drainage feature was observed at the eastern property boundary of the lot to be severed (please refer to the attached map). In consulting climatic data stations for the nearby area, Kingston had historical data of 29.4 mm of rain on September 25”‘,and 2.6 mm of rain was recorded on September 26"‘.This assisted with providing evidence of this area as a headwater drainage feature. A review of the subject property did not indicate the presence of any unstable slopes, nor ?oodplain mapping. Review Comments and Recommendations Provincial Policy Statement
The PPS states: “Planning authorities shall protect,
improve or restore the quality and quantity ofwater by:
a)
Using the watershed as the ecologically meaningful scale for integrated and long—term planning, which can be a foundation for considering cumulative impacts ofdevelopment,‘ b) Minimizing potential negative impacts, including cross-jurisdictional and crosswatershed impacts; L) Identifying water resource systems consisting ofground water features, hydrologic functions, natural heritage featuresand areas, and surfacewater featuresincluding shoreline areas, which are necessary for the ecological and hydrological integrity ofthe watershed; e) Implementing necessary restrictions on development and site alteration to.‘
- Protect, improve or restore…sensitive surfacewaterfeaturesm and their
hydrologic?unctions;
g) Ensuring consideration of environmental lake capacity, where applicable, and; h) Ensuring stormwater management practices minimize stormwater volumes and contaminant loads, and maintain or increase the extent of vegetation and pervious
surfaces. "
Surface water features are defined in the PPS as: “means water-related featureson the earth ’s surface, including headwaters, rivers, stream channels, inland lakes, seepage areas, recharge/discharge areas, springs, wetlands, and associated riparian lands that can be definedby their soil moisture, soil type, vegetation or topographic characteristics. ”
As stated within the property description section of this report, a headwater drainage feature was observed along the eastern boundary during the site visit. The PPS indicates that these features should be protected, improved or restored. While the proposed lot creation is not anticipated to
Page 2 of 4
Page 145 of 231
impact the headwater drainage feature as it is predominantly on the neighbouring lot, it should be afforded the required 30 metre setback that is given to watercourses. The zoning by-law for South Frontenac defines a watercourse as “any surfacestream or river and includes a natural channel for an intermittent stream and a municipal drain as de?nedby the Drainage Act, as amended. "
Section 5.8.2 of the zoning by—lawstates that no building or structure , or septic tank installation including the weeping tile field shall be located: a)
Within 30 metres horizontal of the highwater mark of a waterbody or permanent is not shown on any
watercourse, notwithstanding that such body of water or watercourse schedule forming part of this by-law.
This setback should be respected, especially because water from this headwater drainage feature outlets into Burridge Lake. Rideau Lakes
—
WolfeCreek Catchment Report (2014)
The closest water body is Bunidge Lake and it is downstream of this property. Burridge Lake has been given a water quality rating of “fair" based on the Provincial Water Quality Objectives (PWQO). Where this type of rating is assigned, efforts such as diversion of runoff and enhanced shoreline buffers are important to continue to protect and enhance water quality. The lake is also fairly shallow and surrounded in some areas by wetlands which contribute to elevated levels of naturally occurring nutrients. The shallow depth combined with organic rich soils make internal loading of nutrients likely as oxygen becomes depleted from the deep waters. Reduction of nutrients can be achieved through practices such as proper maintenance of septic systems, keeping shorelines natural and using phosphate free soaps and detergents.
Mississippi Rideau Source Water Protection Plan Most of South Frontenac has been identi?ed as a highly vulnerable aquifer as stated in the catchment report and indicated in the Mississippi-Rideau Source Water Protection Plan. These are aquifers that are vulnerable to surface contaminants due to thin or absent soils overlying bedrock that may be fractured. Where these conditions exist, it may be possible for contaminants to enter drinking ground water supplies. For this reason, care should be taken to avoid land uses and practices that may inadvertently lead to undesirable effects on groundwater.
Unevaluated Wetlands, Natural Heritage Features & Other Features Proposed Boundary Adjustment
The PPS indicates that natural heritage systems should be maintained, restored or, where possible, improved, recognizing linkages between and among natural heritage features and areas, surface water features and ground water features (Section 2.1.2). While these unevaluated wetlands have been identi?ed through our aerial photography, the proposed lot lines appear to be in locations which would not negatively affect the overall natural heritage system and linkages. Therefore, the RVCA supports the location of the western property boundary for the proposed severed lot However, as currently proposed, the severance would result in the creation of a lot with a southem lot boundary that transects the southern watercourse on the subject property. It is the recommendation of the RVCA that the boundary be moved further to the north, by
Page 3 of 4
Page 146 of 231
approximately 200 feet. Relocating the proposed lot line further north would assist with implementing Section 2.1.2 of the PPS by maintaining the linkages between natural heritage features on the subject property. Unevaluated wetlands are currently not regulated by the Conservation Authority, however they may become regulated under the Conservation Authorities Act in the future (please see note on Section 139 further in this letter). Given the numerous bene?ts of all wetlands, the Conservation Authority strongly encourages their preservation. These bene?ts include: attenuation of ?ood water; serving as a groundwater recharge/discharge area and providing a more stable source of water during low water conditions; ?ltering our drinking water; and providing habitat to many species of plants and animals (o?en including ?sh). Please note: Bill 139 received Royal Assent on December 12th, 2017 which included amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act and rede?nes the Conservation Authority’s role in watershed management, climate change adaptability and natural hazards. Among the changes, a new Section 28 speci?cally changes regulation of areas over which authorities have jurisdiction. As a result, the RVCA will be reviewing the implementation of our policies and procedures to comply with the updated Conservation Authorities Act. For further information on these changes please see the following link: http://conservationontarioca/policvjriorities/conservationauthorities-act/. including replacement of Please note that any proposed alterations to the watercourses, culverts, requires the prior written permission of the RVCA in accordance with Ontario Regulation 1 74/06 “Development, Interferencewith Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses”. Conclusions In conclusion, The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority has no objection to the subject application. The RVCA does recommend that the proposed southern lot line he moved to maintain the current natural heritage connection on the subject property.
The RVCA would like its comments and recommendations noted on any decision from the Committee. Thank you for the opportunity to comment and please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at (613) 267-5353 x 131 should you have any questions. Please advise us on the Committee’s decision respecting this application or any changes in the status of the application.

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT PLANNING REPORT – CONSENT APPLICATION Report Date: October 6, 2018 Application No: Owner: Location of Property:
S-87-18-L Green Part Lot 22, Concession 8, District of Loughborough, Township of South Frontenac, municipally known as Dean Smith Road and Leland Road Purpose of Application: Consent for a lot addition Date of Hearing: October 11, 2018
Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and pending comments received approve application S-87-18-L for the consent of a lot addition to Part Lot 22, Concession 8, District of Loughborough, municipally known as 908 Leland Road.
Proposal An application for consent has been received for the conveyance of a lot addition from an existing rural property at Part Lot 22, Concession 8, District of Loughborough, municipally located along Dean Smith Road and Leland Road to an abutting property municipally known as 908 Leland Road (see attached map). The existing lot has frontage on Dean Smith Road and Leland Road and is vacant. The applicant is proposing to sever approximately 1.5 acres from the existing 13 acre lot to be added to a developed rural residential lot with frontage on Leland Road. S-87-18-L Consent application S-87-18-L is for the conveyance of 1.5 acres of land with approximately 60 metres of frontage along Leland Road to a developed lot municipally known as 908 Leland Road. The proposed benefitting lands will increase in size from 1 acre to 2.5 acres and in frontage from 67 metres to 127 metres along Leland Road. This will bring the benefitting lands into compliance with the current provisions for rural residential lots. Retained Lot The retained lands will consist of approximately 11.5 acres with approximately 230 metres of frontage along Dean Smith Road. The retained lands will be vacant, but it is anticipated that they will be developed for residential purposes.
Planning Analysis Consistent with Provincial Policy Statement, 2014: Current Official Plan Designation: Application conforms with Official Plan, 2003: Current Zoning: Complies with Zoning Bylaw 2003-75:
Yes Rural Yes, once rezoned to commercial Rural Yes
Provincial Policy Statement (2014) The 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides direction on matters of Provincial interest related to land use planning and development. The PPS promotes efficient land use and development patterns that support strong, liveable and healthy communities, protect the environment and public health and safety, and facilitate economic growth. When assessing consent applications on rural lands, planning authorities must comply with Section 1.1.5.1 of the PPS; this section requires application of relevant policy of Section 1: Building Healthy Communities, Section 2: Wise Use and Management of Recourses, and Section 3: Protecting Public Health and Safety by the approval authority. Section 1: Building Healthy Communities of the PPS promotes the building of strong, healthy communities and includes policies about avoiding development and land use patterns which may cause environmental or public health and safety concerns. Section 1.1.5.2 of the PPS permits limited residential development on rural lands and Section 1.1.5.4 promotes development that is compatible with the rural landscape and can be sustained by rural service levels. The proposed lot addition will Page 159 of 231
REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT increase the benefitting lands to create a lot that meets the rural zone provisions in the Township’s Zoning Bylaw. Section 2: Wise Use and Management of Resources of the PPS contains policies that encourage the protection of natural heritage, water, agricultural, mineral and cultural heritage and archaeological resources for their economic, environmental and social benefits. No further development is proposed for the lands to be conveyed; the benefitting lands are already developed and the additional lands will create a buffer from neighbouring properties. Section 3: Protecting Public Health and Safety directs development away from areas of natural or human-made hazards where there is an unacceptable risk to public health or safety or of property damage. No natural or human-made hazards were identified on the subject property or neighbouring property that would impact public health and safety. County of Frontenac Official Plan, 2016 The County of Frontenac Official Plan is a framework for guiding development in the County through the management and protection of the natural environment and by providing direction and influence on growth patterns. It is focused on the six themes of economic sustainability, growth management, community building, housing and social services, heritage and culture, and environmental sustainability. Section 3.3 Rural Lands provides policies for all lands outside of the settlement areas. The Plan recognizes that rural lands are used as an alternative location for those preferring a rural lifestyle. The proposed consent application will increase the size of the befitting lands to bring the lands into compliance with the Township’s Official Plan. Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, 2003 The subject property and benefitting lands are designated as Rural in the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan. Policies of the Rural designation speak to permitting development that is consistent with maintaining the Township’s rural, natural heritage, and cultural landscape. Section 5.7.4 Rural Residential Policies permit limited non-agricultural development within the Rural area. As a rule, the minimum lot sizes are to be 2 acres (0.8 hectares) with 76 metres (250 feet) of frontage along a public road. Further, a maximum of three rural residential severances may be permitted from a lot existing as of the date of adoption of the plan. The lot addition application does not count towards the creation of a new rural residential lot as there is no increase in development permitted. The proposal will bring the severed lot into conformity with the policies for lot sizes for rural residential uses. The retained lots will continue to conform with the Official Plan. Township of South Frontenac Zoning Bylaw The subject property is zoned Rural (RU) in the Township of South Frontenac Zoning Bylaw. The intent of the Rural zoning is to permit a variety of uses including agriculture and residential. The entirely of the lands to be conveyed and the benefitting lands are zoned rural in the Township’s Zoning Bylaw. The consent application will increase the area and frontage requirements of the benefitting lands and bring them into compliance with the Bylaw. The retained lands will continue to exceed the minimum requirements and have a suitable building envelope.
Agency Analysis and Comments Public Works Department – Public Works have no objection to the proposed consent application. Public Comments – As of the time of writing, no written comments have been received from the public. The application was not circulated to external commenting agencies as no natural features were identified on the lands and no further development was proposed beyond the potential that existed. A site visit was completed by planning staff and Township Public Works staff on September 28, 2018, to review the severance application.

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT PLANNING REPORT – CONSENT APPLICATION Report Date: October 6, 2018 Application No: Owner: Location of Property:
S-88-18-S 1324789 Ontario Inc. Part Lots 23 and 24, Concession 3/4, District of Storrington, Township of South Frontenac (Round Lake Road/Sweetfern Lane) Purpose of Application: Consent to create one new lot Date of Hearing: October 11, 2018
Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and pending comments received approve application S-88-18-S for the creation of one new rural residential lot with frontage on Round Lake Road and Sweetfern Lane. The application is the resubmission of consent application S-36-17-S which lapsed as the conditions were not fulfilled within the one year timeframe.
Proposal An application for consent has been received for the creation of one new rural residential lot from an existing property at Part Lots 23 & 24, Concession 3/4, District of Storington, Township of South Frontenac (see attached map). The existing lot has frontage on Round Lake Road and is accessed by Sweetfern Lane, a private lane dissecting the property. The lot is heavily vegetated, contains some natural features, is dissected by Sweetfern Lane and has frontage along Inverary Lake. The application is proposing to sever approximately 15 acres from 52 acre lot in order to create one rural residential lot with frontage on Round Lake Road and Sweetfern Lane. S-88-18-S Consent application S-88-18-S is for the creation of a developed rural residential lot that is approximately 15 acres in area. The proposed lot will have approximately 106 metres of frontage along Round Lake Road and over 300 metres of frontage along Sweetfern Lane. The proposed severed lot will not have frontage along Inverary Lake. The lot will be irregularly shaped due to the configuration of the existing lot and neighbouring properties. No new entrance is proposed because the lot is already developed. Retained Lot The retained lands will consist of approximately 37 acres of area with approximately 450 metres of frontage long Sweetfern Lane East. The retained lands will have approximately 450 metre of frontage along Inverary Lake and contain all of the waterfrontage of the existing parcel. No further development is proposed for the retained lands at this time, though suitable building envelopes exist to accommodate future development.
Planning Analysis Consistent with Provincial Policy Statement, 2014: Current Official Plan Designation: Application conforms with Official Plan, 2003: Current Zoning: Complies with Zoning Bylaw 2003-75:
Yes Rural Yes Rural and Residential Limited Services Waterfront-115 Yes
Provincial Policy Statement (2014) The 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides direction on matters of Provincial interest related to land use planning and development. The PPS promotes efficient land use and development patterns that support strong, liveable and healthy communities, protect the environment and public health and safety, and facilitate economic growth. When assessing consent applications on rural lands, planning authorities must comply with Section 1.1.5.1 of the PPS; this section requires application of relevant policy of Section 1: Building Healthy Communities, Section 2: Wise Use and Management of Recourses, and Section 3: Protecting Public Health and Safety by the approval authority. Page 174 of 231
REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT Section 1: Building Healthy Communities of the PPS promotes the building of strong, healthy communities and includes policies about avoiding development and land use patterns which may cause environmental or public health and safety concerns. Section 1.1.5.2 of the PPS permits limited residential development on rural lands in addition to resource-based recreational uses in Ontario municipalities and in Section 1.1.5.4 promotes development that is compatible with the rural landscape and can be sustained by rural service levels. Section 1.1.4.1 a. speaks to building upon rural character and leveraging rural amenities. The consent application will result in the creation of a rural residential lot that is developed with a dwelling and accessory uses. This is a resubmission of an application previously approved by the Committee of Adjustment in 2017. Section 2: Wise Use and Management of Resources of the PPS contains policies that encourage the protection of natural heritage, water, agricultural, mineral and cultural heritage and archaeological resources for their economic, environmental and social benefits. A 40 metre setback exists on the undeveloped retained parcel; suitable area exists on the retained parcel to develop outside of this setback. Section 3: Protecting Public Health and Safety directs development away from areas of natural or human-made hazards where there is an unacceptable risk to public health or safety or of property damage. No natural or human-made hazards were identified on the subject property or neighbouring property that would impact public health and safety. County of Frontenac Official Plan, 2016 The County of Frontenac Official Plan is a framework for guiding development in the County through the management and protection of the natural environment and by providing direction and influence on growth patterns. It is focused on the six themes of economic sustainability, growth management, community building, housing and social services, heritage and culture, and environmental sustainability. Section 3.3 Rural Lands provides policies for all lands outside of the settlement areas. The Plan recognizes that rural lands are used as an alternative location for those preferring a rural lifestyle. Section 3.3.3.4 Special Policies – Waterfront Area list an overall goal of the Plan to improve and protect the waterfront areas in Frontenac County as a significant cultural, recreational, economic, and natural environment resources and to maintain or enhance the quality of the land areas adjacent to the shore. Sufficient area exists on the severed lots to meet the required waterbody setbacks. An enhanced setback of 40 metres will further protect the waterfront. Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, 2003 The subject property is designated as Rural in the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan. Policies of the Rural designation speak to permitting development that is consistent with maintaining the Township’s rural, natural heritage, and cultural landscape. Section 5.7.4 Rural Residential Policies permit limited non-agricultural development within the Rural area. As a rule, the minimum lot sizes are to be 2 acres (0.8 hectares) with 76 metres (250 feet) of frontage along a public road and 91 metres of frontage along the waterfront for waterfront lots. Further, a maximum of three rural residential severances may be permitted from a lot existing as of the date of adoption of the plan. Lots shall be serviced by private water and sanitary sewage disposal systems. The proposed severed and retained lots exceed the minimum requirements in the Township Official Plan for new lot creation. Further, the application is the resubmission of an application that lapsed on title, but is the third and final permitted rural residential lot to be created through the consent process under the Official Plan in effect. Township of South Frontenac Zoning Bylaw The property is zoned Rural (RU) and Residential Limited Services Waterfront Exception 115 (RLSW115 )in the Township of South Frontenac Zoning Bylaw. The intent of the Rural zoning is to permit a variety of uses including agriculture and residential. The proposed new lot will exceed the minimum lot area and frontage requirements for a single detached residential uses. The lot will be of sufficient size to permit a hobby farm; an MDS calculation will be required for the construction of a livestock facility. The retained lands are zoned RLSW-115 as per Bylaw 2017-52. The exception zone associated with the lot recognizes that a 40 metre setback is required from Inverary Lake for any future development on the retained lands. The rezoning was completed as part of the submission of application S-36-17-S to recognize that the retained lands would only be accessible by private lane. A development agreement Page 175 of 231
REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT was registered on title to alert future owners of the limited services associated with a lot accessible by private lane. Provisions in the Bylaw regulate the placement of future structures on the severed lots, including yard setbacks, building coverage and the required 40 metre setback from Inverary Lake. with each of the lots being permitted a separate maximum nutrient unit based on overall area. Sufficient area exists on the severed lands to achieve the required setbacks from any environmental features to the north of the lot.
Agency Analysis and Comments Public Works Department – Public Works would not support an entrance to the severed lot with access off of Round Lake Road; the applicants will be providing access from Sweetfern Lane as was proposed in the original application. Public Comments – As of the time of writing, no written comments have been received from the public. One gentleman alerted Township staff that he had received the letter from the planning department. A site visit was completed by planning staff and Township Public Works staff on September 28, 2018, to review the severance application. Because the application was the re-circulation of a previously approved application for provisional consent and rezoning, the application was not re-circulated to the commenting agencies at this time. Agencies provided supportive comments on the previously approved application.

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT MINOR VARIANCE – PLANNING REPORT Report Date: October 6, 2018 Application No: Owner: Location of Property:
MV-04-18-B Guy Marchildon and Nicole Smith Concession 10, Part Lot 8, Island 50, Devil Lake, District of Bedford, Township of South Frontenac Purpose of Application: To vary section 5.8.2.a and 11.3.1 of the Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw 2003-75 to permit a reduction of the setback from the high water mark of Devil Lake from 30 metres to 25 metres. Date of Hearing: October 11, 2018 Recommendation: Approval, Pending the receipt of comments from KFL&A Public Health prior to the meeting.
Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from members of the public and that minor variance application MV-04-18-B, which would to permit a reduction in the waterbody setback from 30 metres to 25 metres to permit the construction of a dwelling, be approved pending the receipt of formal comments from KFL&A Public Health ensuring that there is a suitable location for the septic system outside of the 30 metre setback from Devil Lake. Should comments not be received in advance of the meeting, planning staff recommend that the application be deferred.
Proposal An application for minor variance has been submitted to permit a 5 metre reduction in the required waterbody setback from the high water mark of Devil Lake to allow for the construction of a dwelling at Part Lot 8, Concession 10, Island 50, Devil Lake (see attached map). The island property has over 1000 metres of frontage along Devil Lake and an area of approximately 8.8 acres. The subject property is oversized compared to the current waterfront island provisions, but is relatively narrow with regard to current setback provisions. The application was previously before the Committee of Adjustment at the June meeting and was deferred to allow the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority to complete a site visit and obtain comments from KFL&A Public Health. As a result of the site visits and preliminary EIA completed, the reduction requested in the application was amended from 10 metres to a reduction of 5 metres. The applicant is proposing to construct a dwelling that is a 24 feet by 36 feet (864 square feet) twostorey structure on the vacant lot. The applicant has identified the topography on the lot as a constraint to achieving the required 30 metre setback. A revised preliminary EIA was completed in August 2018 following deferral of the application which has now been reviewed by the appropriate agencies. Minor variance is required to construct the dwelling as the principal dwelling will be located within the waterbody setback:
- Section 5.8.2.a: No building or structure or septic tank installation shall be located within 30 metres horizontal of the highwater mark of a waterbody or permanent watercourse. Requested variance from this section: a. Proposed principal dwelling located at 25 metre setback (variance request of 5 metres).
- Section 11.3.1: Principal building setback from highwater mark or floodline of a body of water (minimum) is 30 metres. Requested variance from this section: a. Proposed principal dwelling located at 25 metre setback (variance request of 5 metres). Under Section 45(1) of the Planning Act there are four tests a minor variance must meet. A variance may be authorized from the provisions of the zoning by-law, if, in the opinion of the Committee of Adjustment, the request meets all of the following tests: • Does the application conform to the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? • Does the application conform to the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? • Is the application desirable for the appropriate development of the lands in question? • Is the application minor? Page 186 of 231
REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT Background The subject property is an oversized lot with approximately 1000 metres of frontage on Devil Lake. The subject property comprises the entirety of the island, approximately 8.8 acres in size. The Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority characterizes the topography of the island where the development is proposed as, “sloping from the water up to a high plateau area and then dropping down steeply on the south side of the plateau to the shoreline along the south side of the island,” (letter dated October 4, 2018). Correspondence submitted by Ontario Lake Assessments and Environmental Education Services dated April 23, 2015 indicate there is a water depth of 2-5 metres within a few meters of the shoreline with much submerged woody debris along most of the shoreline. Devil Lake is identified as a lake trout lake at capacity. The EIA identified potential lake trout spawning shoals exists to the north east exposure of the island; MNRF staff indicated that there are no records of spawning shoals around Island 50 but emphasized that this does not eliminate the need to be vigilant in the event one does exist. The application was previously before the Committee of Adjustment in June, 2018. At the meeting, the Committee voted to defer the application until Cataraqui Regional Conservation Authority staff could visit the property and KFL&A Public Health determine if there was a suitable location for septic in the future. A revised preliminary EIA was submitted by Ontario Lake Assessments and Environmental Education Services addressing concerns of the CRCA that were brought forward at the June meeting. The amended application seeks a reduction of 5 metres (previous reduction requested was 10 metres) which recognizes the constraints identified on the property while increasing the vegetated buffer depth an additional 5 metres.
Planning Analysis Current Official Plan Designation: Rural The property is designated as Rural in the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan (2003). Official Plan policies regarding the Rural designation speak to the importance of maintaining the rural character, natural heritage and cultural landscape in the Township. Following guidance from Section 5.7.7 (“Limited Service Residential Development Policies”), permitted uses in the Rural designation include single detached dwellings and seasonal residential dwellings. Development in the Rural designation shall be designed to preserve as much as possible of the site’s physical attributes, such as tree coverage, varying topography, scenic views, etc, for the benefit of future residents. Subsection (iii) of Section 5.7.7 addresses water access lots. Limited service residential development shall be permitted on water access lots provided: a) An adequate supply of potable water is available for each lot on the island and that a satisfactory method of sewage disposal is approved by the appropriate authority; b) Access to the water body in which the island is situated is available to provide appropriate services to the island; c) Island seasonal residential development is zoned in a separate category from other forms of seasonal residential development; d) That land and mooring facilities on mainland are available to permit the parking of automobiles and/or storage or docking of boats and boat trailers. KFL&A Public Health was circulated the application to ensure that a suitable area exists on the subject property to install a septic system should the applicants wish to install plumbing in the future; pending staff are recommending the deferral of the application if formal comments have not been received in advance of the meeting. Further, the applicants have parking facilities under their ownership which provide suitable access to the island property. Finally, the subject property is zoned as Limited Services Residential – Island in the Township’s Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw; this zone recognizes the limited services and has a provision for an increased lot size for island properties. As such, the application meets the intent of the water access lot policies in the Official Plan. Section 5.8.2 “Lake Trout Lakes” of the Official Plan contains policies that are designed to ensure that any development on or adjacent to a sensitive lake trout lake takes place in a manner which does not negatively impact water quality in order to maintain a healthy lake trout population. Since the writing of the Official Plan, Devil Lake has been classified as an at-capacity lake for development by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP, formerly the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change). The Official Plan requires the submission of an EIA for any development or site Page 187 of 231
REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT alterations that are proposed within 30 metres of the highwater mark of the lake and contains policies for new lot creation within 300 metres of an at-capacity lake. The MECP reviewed the application and EIA with regard to water quality and Section 2.2 of the Provincial Policy Statement; the Ministry has no objection to the placement of the dwelling with the condition that the septic system is located outside of the required 30 metre setback. Current Zoning: Limited Service Residential – Island The property is zoned Limited Service Residential – Waterfront Island in the Township of South Frontenac Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw. The intent of the RLSI zone is to permit waterfront development and while recognizing the property is an island. A 30 metre setback is required from the high water mark of the waterbody with appropriate development standards for lake protection. Section 5.8.4 states that natural vegetated buffers should be maintained within 30 metres of the highwater mark. The CRCA raised concerns through correspondence sent to the June Committee of Adjustment meeting regarding a reduction of 10 metres for the proposed dwelling. CRCA staff reviewed the revised EIA submitted by Ontario Lake Assessments dated August 28, 2018 and do not dispute the findings of the EIA that there will be no negative impacts to natural heritage features for a reduction of 5 metres on the proposed property. The CRCA also reviewed the application for natural hazards and have concluded that the development will be located outside the setback to the regulatory flood plain and have no concerns with the proposal from an erosion hazard perspective.
Agency Analysis and Comments Public Comments – As of the date of preparing the report, one member of the public has requested to be circulated the notice of decision. Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks – Comments dated October 4, 2018, indicate that the Ministry has no objection to the proposal provided the septic system is located outside of the 30 metre setback from the high water mark. The Ministry reviewed the proposal with attention to Section 2.2 of the Provincial Policy Statement and water quality protection. Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority – Comments dated October 4, 2018, indicate that CRCA staff have no objection to the approval of the application provided that the MECP has no concerns with potential impacts to water quality. The CRCA reviewed the application with regard to natural hazards, including flooding and erosion, and natural heritage and water quality. KFL&A Public Health – Public Health provided verbal comments on October 4, 2018 stating that they have a few outstanding questions and require payment for their services. Formal comments will be circulated to the Township in advance of the October 11th Committee of Adjustment meeting; should comments not be received planning staff are recommending the application be deferred.
Conclusion Should comments from KFL&A Public Health be received in advance of the meeting, advising that there is a suitable location for septic outside of the 30 metre setback planning staff are recommending approval of the application. With a setback of 30 metres for the septic system, the proposed application to reduce the 30 metre setback from 30 metres to 25 metres from the highwater mark of Devil Lake will meet the four tests for a minor variance: • The variance conforms to the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan because it is in keeping with the existing rural character, can be adequately serviced and achieves the intent of the water quality provisions for lake trout lakes. • The variance conforms to the general intent and purpose of the Zoning Bylaw as the proposed construction seeks to maximize the waterbody setback while recognizing the constraints on the property. Natural heritage objectives of the vegetative buffer can be achieved with the proposal as confirmed by the CRCA.
Page 188 of 231
REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT • The variance is desirable for the appropriate development of the lands in question as the dwelling placement recognizes the constraints on the property resulting in less excavation and disposal of excavated material on the site. • The variance is minor as the proposed construction achieves the natural heritage and water quality policies of the Provincial Policy Statement as demonstrated through the correspondence provided by the MECP and CRCA.
Recommended Conditions
- This minor variance is for the construction of a two-storey dwelling that is located no closer than 25 metres to the subject property with exterior dimensions of the cottage being 24 feet by 36 feet.
- Minor variance MV-04-18-B is applicable only to South Frontenac Township Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2003-75 and not to any subsequent zoning by-laws.
- The applicant shall enter into a site plan agreement with the Township to be registered on title as required in the Official Plan. The agreement shall set out the Township’s environmental policies, that a permit may be required from Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority for the proposed development, and for any shoreline or in-water works, and the limited access provisions required in the Official Plan.

Attention:
Claire Dodds, Director of Development Services, MCIP, RPP Email: cdodds@southfrontenac.net
Dear Ms. Dodds: Re:
Re-circulation – MV-04-18-B (Marchildon) – South Frontenac
I have reviewed the re-circulated application for the Minor Variance noted above, supporting documentation and offer the following comments. The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) recommends a minimum 30 metre setback from the high water mark of water bodies as a standard in local Official Plans and related ZBLs. In the case of existing lots of record the 30 m setback is a minimum; if the lot cannot accommodate the setback due to physical or topographical constraints development should be as far back from the high water mark as can be accommodated. New construction or reconstruction if applicable should take place within the footprint of the existing cottage, away from the direction of the high water mark or further back than the closest point of the existing footprint to the high water mark. These standards are used as planning tools by municipalities to provide protection to lakes, rivers and streams from inputs of nutrients and suspended sediment consistent with Section 2.2. Water - of the Provincial Policy Statement. These contaminants originate primarily from the disturbance of soils, removal of natural vegetation, hardening of the landscape which results in increased surface runoff in addition from the migration of septic effluent from tile fields. The minimum setback of 30 metres from a water body is also recommended for water quality protection purposes. Generally, the greater the setback from the water; the greater the level of water quality protection. The 30 m buffer strip has become a standard and has been supported before the Ontario Municipal Board - now the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal.

MV-04-18-B (Marchildon) – South Frontenac Devil Lake has been identified by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry as a cold water lake trout fishery; managed for lake trout and is currently classified by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks as “at capacity” for development. While this designation does not preclude responsible development on existing lots of record it should be done in such a way that minimizes impact to these sensitive surface water features such as maintaining a setback that is back as far as reasonably possible. The minor variance is being sought to reduce the waterbody setback from 30 to 25 meters at the closest point to permit the construction of a seasonal dwelling on Island 50, Devil Lake, Concession 1, Lot 8, District of Bedford. While it looks like every effort has been made to move the dwelling as far back as possible through the re-circulation of the Minor Variance the package of information does not include a septic tile field location. It has come to our attention that the proponent is seeking to utilize a composting toilet to service the proposed dwelling and that this overall proposal is awaiting review by the local health unit. This ministry would not have an objection to this application providing if a septic tile field could be established on site that the envelope be established (now or in the future) beyond the 30 m setback from the high water mark. In addition, disturbance to the soil mantle and removal of vegetation between the dwelling and the high watermark is to be minimized to form a vegetated buffer strip excepting a reasonable access corridor to the waterfront. We have no further comments on this application at this time. Regards,

Date of Hearing: October 11, 2018
Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from members of the public and that minor variance application MV-18-18-B, which would to permit a reduction in the waterbody setback from 30 metres to 4.3 metres to recognize the change of use of the original cottage, be denied.
Proposal An application for minor variance has been submitted to recognize the location of the original cottage on the subject property and a change of use to a workshop/storage/swimming base at 4.3 metres from the high water mark of Buck Lake at Part Lots 3 & 4, Concession 14, District of Bedford, known municipally as 1600B Massassauga Road (see attached map). The subject property is approximately 1.1 acres in area with 100 metres of frontage along Buck Lake and an average lot depth of approximately 50 metres. The lot is undersized compared to the current standards but has an adequate depth to accommodate development outside of the 30 metre setback. The application was previously deferred at the September Committee of Adjustment meeting to allow the applicants and planning staff time to review the comments received from the commenting agencies. The applicant is proposing to convert the original dwelling on the subject property into an accessory building that would include a workshop/storage/swimming base. The building has a floor area of 550 square feet and is located 4.3 metres from the high water mark of Buck Lake. The variance is being sought to permit additional space within the desired location in close proximity to the waterfront. Minor variance is required to recognize the placement of the structure at its current location as the structure will be located within the waterbody setback established in the South Frontenac Zoning By-law 200375:
- Section 5.8.2.a: No building or structure or septic tank installation shall be located within 30 metres horizontal of the highwater mark of a waterbody or permanent watercourse. Requested variance from this section: a. Proposed converted dwelling to workshop/storage/swimming base located 4.3 metres at the closest point (variance request of 25.7 metres).
- Section 10.3.1: Principal building setback from highwater mark or floodline of a body of water (minimum) is 30 metres. Requested variance from this section: a. Proposed converted dwelling to workshop/storage/swimming base located 4.3 metres at the closest point (variance request of 25.7 metres). Under Section 45(1) of the Planning Act there are four tests a minor variance must meet. A variance may be authorized from the provisions of the zoning by-law, if, in the opinion of the Committee of Adjustment, the request meets all of the following tests: • Does the application conform to the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? • Does the application conform to the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? • Is the application desirable for the appropriate development of the lands in question? • Is the application minor?

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT Background Background – Property Characteristics The subject property is approximately 1.1 acres in area with approximately 60 metres of frontage along Buck Lake. The Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority characterizes the topography of the property as having a low bank along the shoreline that rises approximately 2 metres up from the high water mark and then levelling out on a high point of land where the existing cottage structure is located. CRCA staff describe the shoreline as consisting of largely rocky material with a till overburden. The subject property contains a new dwelling that was recently constructed and is located outside of the 30 metre setback as well as smaller accessory structures used for storage and the original cottage within the 30 metre setback. Buck Lake is classified by the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MCEP, formally Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change) as an at-capacity highly sensitive lake trout lake. Background – File History In 2017, the owners obtained a building permit for the construction of a new seasonal dwelling on the property outside of the 30 metre setback. The issuance of the building permit was preceded by a permit to demolish the existing cottage; this complied with the Township’s Zoning Bylaw which permits one dwelling unit per lot in the Residential Limited Services – Waterfront zone. Further, it has been a Township practice to permit the original cottage to stay on the property while a new cottage is being built for the convenience of the property owners; this is permitted with the understanding that the original cottage would be demolished shortly after the new cottage is completed The applicants then applied for a permit to relocate the structure to a location that was compliant with the Zoning Bylaw and use the structure as an accessory building. In order to recognize the structure in the current location, planning approvals are required.
Planning Analysis Provincial Policy Statement, 2014 The 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides direction on matters of Provincial interest related to land use planning and development. In respect of the exercise of any authority that affects a planning matter, Section 3 of the Planning Act requires that decisions affecting planning matters “shall be consistent with” policy statements issued under the Act. When assessing development on rural lands, planning authorities must comply with Section 1.1.5.1 of the PPS; this section requires application of relevant policy of Section 1: Building Healthy Communities, Section 2: Wise Use and Management of Recourses, and Section 3: Protecting Public Health and Safety by the approval authority. Section 2: Wise Use and Management of Resources of the PPS contains policies that encourage the protection of natural heritage, water, agricultural, mineral and cultural heritage and archaeological resources for their economic, environmental and social benefits. Section 2.2 Water states that planning authorities shall protect, improve or restore the quality and quantity of water by: using the watershed as the ecologically meaningful scale for integrated and long-term planning, minimizing negative impacts and ensuring stormwater management practices minimize stormwater volumes and contaminants loads, and maintain or increase the extent of vegetative and pervious surfaces. Further, Section 2.2.1.g) requires planning authorities to ensure consideration of environmental lake capacity, where applicable. Planning staff concur with the comments provided by MECP and CRCA staff that the proposed application is not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement with regard to natural heritage and water. Comments provided by the agencies are attached. Section 3: Protecting Public Health and Safety of the PPS contains policies that speak to directing development outside of hazardous lands. Planning staff concur with the analysis completed by CRCA staff and support the relocation of the original cottage to a location outside of the natural hazard; further summary of CRCA staff’s analysis is provided below. Current Official Plan Designation: Rural The property is designated as Rural in the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan (2003). Official Plan policies regarding the Rural designation speak to the importance of maintaining the rural character, natural heritage and cultural landscape in the Township. Following guidance from Section 5.7.7 (“Limited Service Residential Development Policies”), permitted uses in the Rural designation include Page 212 of 231
REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT single detached dwellings and seasonal residential dwellings. Section 5.2.7 b) (i) of the Official Plan places all lands within 90 metres of the highwater mark of all lakes in the Environmentally Sensitive Area. This section further states that all buildings, campsites, and structures not related to the water and all sewage disposal systems shall be setback a minimum of 30 metres from the highwater mark. Vegetation within the setback should be preserved as much as possible with some allowances for views and ventilation. Planning staff confirmed with staff from the CRCA, that the removal of trees in order to re-locate the structure outside of the 30m buffer, and then replanting tree to establish the shoreline vegetative buffer has less long term environmental impact versus allowing continued use of the original cottage in its existing 4.3m setback from the shoreline. Section 5.8.2 “Lake Trout Lakes” of the Official Plan contains policies that are designed to ensure that any development on or adjacent to a sensitive lake trout lake takes place in a manner which does not negatively impact water quality in order to maintain a healthy lake trout population. The MECP have classified Buck Lake as an at-capacity, highly sensitive lake trout lake. The Official Plan requires the submission of an EIA for any development or site alterations that are proposed within 30 metres of the high water mark of the lake and contains policies for new lot creation within 300 metres of an at-capacity lake. In correspondence dated October 4, 2018, MECP reviewed the application with respect to Section 2.2 Water of the Provincial Policy Statement and have provided that generally the greater the setback, the greater the level of water quality protection. MECP writes that the designation of Buck Lake atcapacity does not preclude responsible development on existing lots of record, however, development should proceed in such a way that minimizes impact to these sensitive water features. MECP do not support the application for minor variance to avoid the demolition or relocation of the structure and this will not result in a net improvement and lessen the environmental impact to the water quality of Buck Lake. The intent of the Official Plan is to maximize setback requirements, with special consideration provided for sensitive lake trout lakes. The proposal to keep the original cottage in the current location with a change of use, does not meet the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan. Current Zoning: Residential Limited Service – Waterfront The property is zoned Limited Service Residential – Waterfront in the Township of South Frontenac Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw. The intent of the RLSW zone is to permit waterfront development recognizing that the lot is accessible by private right-of-way. Section 5.8.2.a. supports the intent of the Official Plan by requiring that no building or structure shall be located within 30 metres of the highwater mark of a waterbody. Section 5.8.4 states that natural buffers should be maintained within 30 metres of the highwater mark. The proposed application does not seek to maximize the waterbody setback. Buck Lake has been assessed as an at-capacity lake, which further supports the maintenance of the vegetated buffer across the riparian zone. Through the CRCA’s review of the application, CRCA staff determined that the existing cottage structure is located within the stable slope allowance, the area of greatest risk, of the total erosion hazard along the shoreline. Section 3.1.1 b) of the Provincial Policy Statement directs development to areas outside of hazardous lands adjacent along small inland lakes which are impacted by flooding and/or erosion hazards. CRCA staff calculated a slope angle at greater than 30%, exceeding the provision in the Township’s Zoning Bylaw which requires an enhanced setback. Section 5.8.2b. states that no building or structure or septic tank shall be located within 15 metres horizontal of the top of bank of any embankment, the slope of which is greater than 30% from horizontal. The CRCA’s Environmental Planning Policies (April, 2015) further require development to be directed outside of lands that are subject to hazards. The CRCA conclude that staff are unable to support the minor variance application from an erosion hazard perspective. Overall, planning staff are of the opinion that the proposal does not meet the intent and general purpose of the Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw.
Agency Analysis and Comments Public Comments – As of the date of preparing the report, one member of the public has provided comments. Janet Watt, a neighbouring property owner, stated that they support the application and the placement of the old cottage; relocation of the cottage would result in more trees coming down and very few trees are left at the waterfront after the clearing for the new cottage. Ms. Watt writes that the old building is nicely camouflaged in the trees. Page 213 of 231
REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks – Comments dated October 4, 2018, indicate that the Ministry does not support the application as outlined above. Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority – Comments dated September 13, 2018, CRCA staff recommend denial of the application based on their consideration for natural hazards, natural heritage, and water quality and quantity protection policies for the following reasons:
- The application does not meet the intent of the water policies found in Section 2.2 of the Provincial Policy Statement;
- The application does not meet the intent of the natural hazards policies found in Section 3.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement;
- The application does not meet the intent of the water setback provisions found in Section 5.2.7 of the Official Plan and Section 5.8.2.1 of the Zoning Bylaw;
- The application does not meet the intent of the policies found in Section 4.2.1 and 6.1.5 of the CRCA’s Environmental Planning Policy (April 2015);
- The application does not meet the tests of a minor variance because it is not minor in nature. Building Department – Comments dated September 11, 2018 indicate that the Building Department does not support the application for a variance based on the history of the file and the information previously provided to the applicant.
Conclusion The proposed application to reduce the 30 metre setback from 30 metres to 4.3 metres from the highwater mark of Buck Lake to permit the conversion of the original dwelling into a workshop/storage/swimming base does not meet the four tests for a minor variance: • The variance does not conform to the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan because it will result in development in close proximity to an at-capacity lake and does not strive to maximize the setback. • The variance does not conform to the general intent and purpose of the Zoning Bylaw as there is a suitable location outside of the 30 metre setback to relocate the structure to that would result in the revegetation of the riparian zone. • The variance is not desirable for the appropriate development of the lands in question as the structure is located within the stable slope allowance, the area of greatest risk, of the total erosion hazard along the shoreline. Further, the setback of 4.3 metres does not meet the water quality objectives of the Provincial Policy Statement and Official Plan focus on the protection of lake trout lakes. • The variance is not minor as the proposal is inconsistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and the 30 metre setback can be achieved on the subject property.

Dear Ms. Dodds: Re:
Circulation MV-18-18-B (Freedman) – South Frontenac
I have reviewed the application for the Minor Variance noted above, supporting documentation and offer the following comments. The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) recommends a minimum 30 metre setback from the high water mark of water bodies as a standard in local Official Plans and related ZBLs. In the case of existing lots of record the 30 m setback is a minimum; if the lot cannot accommodate the setback due to physical or topographical constraints development should be as far back from the high water mark as can be accommodated. These standards are used as planning tools by municipalities to provide protection to lakes, rivers and streams from inputs of nutrients and suspended sediment consistent with Section 2.2. Water - of the Provincial Policy Statement. These contaminants originate primarily from the disturbance of soils, removal of natural vegetation, hardening of the landscape which results in increased surface runoff in addition from the migration of septic effluent from tile fields. The minimum setback of 30 metres from a water body is also recommended for water quality protection purposes. Generally, the greater the setback from the water; the greater the level of water quality protection. The 30 m buffer strip has become a standard and has been supported before the Ontario Municipal Board - now the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. MV-18-18-B (Freedman) – South Frontenac Buck Lake has been identified by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry as a cold water lake trout fishery; managed for lake trout and is currently classified by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks as “at capacity” Page for development. While this designation does not preclude responsible development on216 of 231

existing lots of record it should be done in such a way that minimizes impact to these sensitive surface water features such as maintaining a setback that is back as far as reasonably possible and minimizing lot coverage by extra structures etc. which increases the permeability of lots and minimizes surface runoff and hardening of the landscape. The minor variance is being sought to avoid the demolition / relocation of the existing old dwelling that was maintained during the construction period of a new dwelling that was built at the appropriate setback. The demolition / relocation was a condition of two permits that formed part of the original building permit for the new dwelling. This ministry supports the municipality in the maintenance of a dwelling during a period of construction in addition to its subsequent removal to minimize the cumulative impact to these sensitive surface water features. While we understand that it is the intention of the current owners to discontinue the residential use of the old dwelling it does not preclude subsequent owners from changing its use down the road. Therefore to result in a net improvement and lessen the environmental impact to the water quality of Buck Lake we would not support this application for a minor variance to avoid the demolition or relocation of the structure outside of the required setback. We have no further comments on this application at this time. Regards,

I received the notice of our neighbours the Freedmans to leave the original cottage where it is on their property. We completely support this and would be happy for the old cottage to stay where it is. If the cottage were to be moved more trees would have to come down, and very few are left at the waterfront after the clearing for construction of the new cottage. The old building is nicely camouflaged in the tress where it has always been, and we would support it staying there. We would like to be notified of the decision. Please let me know that is was ok to submit our opinion by email. Thank you Janet Watt

Please find enclosed our application for a minor variance. The purpose of the application is to maintain our old cottage in its current location, however converted to a day-use only stnicture, and not the construc6on of anything new-
We have just had constructed a new house on the lot further back from the waterfront to comply with the current requirements. ‘][‘he building permit icluded 2 additional permits to either demolish or to move the old cottage (and if moved, not to be used as any type of residence or dornicile).
Although we have already negotiated with a contractor to relocate the old cottage, it has become apparent that this will involve the destruction of nurnemus trees and associated disturbance. We do plan to keep the building, partly because it has personal and somewhat historical value (at least to us) as one of the earlier such cottages on the lake; also we have practical use for the building as a workshop, as storage and (in its current location) a base for swimming and relaxing closer to the water. We have already discontinued the propane and water supplies as well as the drains for the sink and composting toilet we previously used, in order to convert the building to its new intended uses. The current deteriorated asphalt shingle siding will be replaced (regardless of the location of the cottage) and we have already discussed with a contractor to properly manage this; we are open to suggestions as to both the best removal method and appropriate options for replacement. We are aware that there will be a stipulation as to the non-residential use of the building and have no plans to continue use of the old cottage as an actual dwelling (having planned the new house accordingly). We hope you wiu agree that moving the old cottage is far more damaging to the local environment than simply converting it to a day-use structure in its current location, and therefor approve our request for the minor variance. Sincerely
