REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT Public Meeting – Amend Conditions of Provisional Consent Report Date: September 10, 2018 Application No: Owner: Location of Property:

S-48-18-L Helen and Spencer Storms (Agent: Bennett) Concession 5, Pt. Part Lot 6, 1036 Storm Haven Lane (Slumber Lane), District of Loughborough, Township of South Frontenac Purpose of Application: Lot addition Date of Hearing: June 14, 2018, Amended Conditions September 13, 2018

Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment amend the conditions of provisional consent to correct the address of the benefiting lands noted in Condition 2.

Background 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).

Planning Act, Section 53 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.

Recommended Revised Conditions

  1. An acceptable reference plan or legal description of the severed lands in duplicate [Registry Act, s.81, Land Titles Act, s. 150], and the deed or instrument conveying the severed lands shall be submitted to the Secretary-Treasurer for review and consent endorsement within a period of one year [Planning Act, s. 53(41)] after the “Notice of Decision” is given [Planning Act, ss. 53(17) and 53(24)].
  2. The land to be severed by Consent Application S-48-18-L shall be for the creation of an 8.75 +/- acre lot addition only to PIN 362790703 (vacant waterfront lot to the north with frontage along Sydenham Lake).
  3. Payment of the balance of any outstanding taxes and local improvement charges shall be made to the Township Treasurer. This includes all taxes levied as of the date of the stamping of the deeds.
  4. In the event that there are abandoned wells located on the property being severed, and the retained property, they be sealed in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of the Environment and that this work be accomplished prior to the stamping of the deeds.
  5. The Township of South Frontenac shall receive $100, in lieu of parkland [Planning Act, s. 51(1)].
  6. Prior to the stamping of the deeds the applicant shall rezone the parcel to be created through Consent Application S-48-18-L from Rural (RU) to Limited Service Residential Waterfront (RLSW). Please see the Township planner to begin this process. Submitted by:

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT PLANNING REPORT – CONSENT APPLICATION Report Date: August 2, 2018 Application No: Owner: Location of Property:

S-63-18-S 548883 Ontario Ltd. Concession 8, Part Lots 15 and 16, Hiawatha Lane, District of Storrington, Township of South Frontenac Purpose of Application: Consent to create new lot Date of Hearing: August 9, 2018

Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from members of the public and that the consent application S-63-18-S be approved subject to conditions.

Proposal 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 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. S-63-18-P 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. Retained Lot 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.

Planning Analysis Consistent with Provincial Policy Statement, 2014: Yes Current Official Plan Designation: Rural Application conforms with Official Plan, 2003: Yes Current Zoning: Recreational Resort Commercial Exception Four (RRC-4) Application omplies with Zoning Bylaw 2003-75: Zoning bylaw amendment a condition of severance

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 36 of 170

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 resource-based recreational uses, including recreational dwellings 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 waterfront residential lot that can be adequately serviced. The proposed lot meets the Township minimum provisions for the creation of a new waterfront lot. 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. Further, Section 3: Protecting Public Health and Safety directs development away from area of natural or human-made hazards where there is an unacceptable risk to public health or safety or of property damage. The Rideau Waterway Development Review Team (RWDRT) reviewed the application for natural hazards, natural and cultural heritage, and water quality and quantity protection policies. In correspondence dated July 18, 2018, the RWDRT has no objection to the proposed consent. 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 Areas state that the goal of the Plan is to improve and protect the waterfront areas in Frontenac County as a significant cultural, recreational, economic, and natural environment resource and to maintain or enhance the quality of the land areas adjacent to the shore. 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. 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 5.7.7 Limited Service Residential Policies permit single detached dwellings and seasonal residential dwellings on waterbodies where the primary means of access if from a private road. As a rule, the minimum lot size shall be 1 hectare (2.5 acres) with a minimum of 91 metres (300 ft) of waterfrontage and 76 metres (250 ft) of frontage on a private road. The creation of up to three limited service residential lots per landholding existing on the day of adoption of the Plan may be permitted by consent. It is planning staff’s understanding that previous lot addition and severance applications have been applied for on the subject property; however, lot addition applications do not result in the creation of new lots and therefore do not contribute to the permitted number. Section 5.7.7 (ii) c. of the Official Plan requires that as a condition of severance approval the owner enter into an agreement with the Township to be registered against title to the lot 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. Owners agree to indemnify the Township for any loss or damage.

Page 37 of 170

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT Township of South Frontenac Zoning Bylaw The property is zoned Recreational Resort Commercial Exception Four (RRC-4) in the Township of South Frontenac Zoning Bylaw. The intent of the RRC-4 zone is to permit tourist commercial uses in the Township, many of which are associated with the waterfront. The site specific zoning permits a tourist establishment consisting of three 2-bedroom cottages and two 3-bedroom cottages and accessory buildings. The zone provisions restrict redevelopment of the existing cottages on the subject property. Planning staff are recommending that a condition be included to rezone the severed lands from RRC-4 to Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW). The RLSW will recognize that the property has waterfrontage and is accessible by private lane. The zoning will restrict the permitted uses to a seasonal dwelling. Planning staff are recommending that the retained lands remain zoned as RRC4; the subject property meets the regulations in Section 18.3.7 of the RRC zone to permit rental cabins.

Agency Analysis and Comments Rideau Waterway Development Review Team (RWDRT) – Comments received July 18, 2018, indicated that RWDRT has no objection to the proposed severance. Planning staff will reach out to the RWDRT to confirm that the cottage at 4065 Hiawatha Lane is to remain on the property but that the cottage at 4071 Hiawatha Lane is to be removed. KFL&A Public Health Unit – Comments received indicated that KFL&A have no objections to the application; that the site has an existing septic system and is flexible in terms of locating a new system if required.

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT PLANNING REPORT – CONSENT APPLICATION Report Date: September 7, 2018, Amended September 10, 2018 Application No: Owner: Location of Property:

S-64-18-L Douglas Roche Concession 2, Part Lot 1, 3246 Forest Road, District of Loughborough, Township of South Frontenac Purpose of Application: Consent to create one new rural residential lot (separate two lots that merged on title with a new configuration that complies with the current Zoning Bylaw provisions) Date of Hearing: September 13, 2018

Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and that application S-64-18-L for a new rural residential lot be approved subject to conditions. The 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.

Proposal 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. S-64-18-L Severed Lot Consent application S-64-18-L is for the creation of a vacant rural residential lot. The proposed new lot would have a minimum of 76 metres of frontage along Forest Road and would be a minimum 2.0 acres in area. A new entrance is proposed off Forest Road to accommodate future development. Retained Lot The retained lands will consist of approximately 2 acres in area with approximately 80 metres of frontage along Forest Road and approximately 108 metres of frontage along Murvale Road. The retained lands will contain all existing structures located on the property. No further development is proposed for the retained lands.

Planning Analysis Consistent with Provincial Policy Statement, 2014: Yes Current Official Plan Designation: Rural Application conforms with Official Plan, 2003: Yes Current Zoning: Rural Complies with Zoning Bylaw 2003-75: 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 42 of 170

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 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 exceed 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. There were no natural resources or features identified on the subject property. Section 3: Protecting Public Health and Safety directs development away from area 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. 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 consent application will restore two lots that merged on title with a new confirmation that meets the provisions in the Township’s Zoning Bylaw. 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 have no concerns with the proposal. 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 severance application 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.

Agency Analysis and Comments Public Works Department – Public Works has no objection to approving an entrance permit for the proposed lot. KFL&A Public Health – Comments received September 5, 2018 indicate that KFL&A have no objections to the application and the site is flexible for locating a septic system. Page 43 of 170

Application No: Owner: Location of Property:

S-66-18-P and S-67-18-P Mark and Sharon Alton (Agent: Rob Smith) Concession 5, Part of Lot 1, 3254 Harrowsmith Road, District of Portland, Township of South Frontenac Purpose of Application: Consent to create two new lots Date of Hearing: September 13, 2018

Recommendation It is recommended that the receive comments from the public and pending comments received from KFL&A Public Health approve application S-66-18-P and S-67-18-P for the creation of two new lots subject to the recommended conditions. Planning staff recommend deferral, if comments from KFL&A Public Health have not been received at the time of the meeting.

Proposal Applications for consent have been received for the creation of two new lots from an existing property at Part Lot 1, Concession 5, District of Portland, municipally known as 3254 Harrowsmith Road (see attached map). The existing lot has frontage on Harrowsmith Road and Loughborough Portland Boundary Road. The subject property is currently developed with a dwelling, barn (not capable of housing livestock) and accessory structures. The aerial imagery shows that there is a watercourse and ponds on the subject property in addition to heavily vegetated area and cleared fields used for agriculture. There is an active mineral aggregate pit to the rear of the subject property. S-66-18-P (New Lot) Consent application S-66-18-P is for the creation of a rural residential lot containing the existing structures on the property. The proposed new lot will have approximately 880 feet of frontage combined on Harrowsmith Road and Loughborough Portland Boundary Road and is approximately 4 acres in area. The lot will be regularly shaped with a depth of approximately 430 feet. The lot is proposed to have a new access created off Loughborough Portland Boundary Road (indicated on the sketch provided), with the two access points along Harrowsmith Road to be closed. The lot is developed with a dwelling, barn (not capable of housing livestock) and accessory structures. No new development is proposed for the proposed lot. S-67-18-P (New Lot) Consent application S-67-18-P is for the creation of a vacant rural residential lot from the subject property. The proposed new lot will have approximately 510 feet of frontage along Harrowsmith Road and is approximately 3 acres in area. The lot will be regularly shaped with a depth of approximately 250 feet. A new entrance is proposed from Harrowsmith Road to provide access to the proposed lot. It is anticipated that the lot will be developed with a dwelling and used for rural residential. Retained Lot The retained lands will consist of approximately 90 acres in area with over 3000 feet of frontage combined on Harrowsmith and Loughborough Portland Boundary Road. The depth of the retained lands is approximately 1700 feet. The lot will be irregularly shaped due to the previous severances and proposed severances along both Township roads. The retained lands will contain an active mineral aggregate pit and natural features including a watercourse and ponds and part of a wetland. No development is proposed in the vicinity of these features.

Background The applicant is proposing to sever approximately 7 acres from an existing 97 acre property in order to create two new lots. The retained lot will decrease in size to approximately 90 acres in area. Currently, the property is developed with a dwelling, barn and accessory structures; consent application S-66-18-P will separate the structures from the retained lands. No new development is proposed at this time, but there exists a suitable building envelope on the retained lands outside of the mineral aggregate operation.

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT

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. 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 Resources, 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 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 applications will result in the creation of two new rural residential lots; KFL&A Public Health has indicated the proposed lots can be adequately serviced. The proposed lots exceed the Township minimums for the creation of new lots 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. Section 2.5 Mineral Aggregate Resources contains policies for the protection of active mineral aggregate operations and known mineral deposits from incompatible land uses. Section 2.5.1 states that mineral aggregate resources shall be protected for long-term use and, where provincial information is available, deposits of mineral aggregate resources shall be identified. Section 2.5.2 contains policies for the protection of long-term resource supply requiring that mineral aggregate operations shall be protected from development and activities that would preclude or hinder their expansion or continued use or which would be incompatible. Section 2.5.2.5 states that in known deposits of mineral aggregate resources and on adjacent lands, development and activities which would preclude or hinder the establishment of new operations or access to the resources shall only be permitted if: a) resource use would not be feasible; or b) the proposed land use or development serves a greater long-term public interest; and issues of public health, public safety and environmental impact are addressed. An active aggregate pit exists to the north of the subject property and the Official Plan Land Use Schedule designates potential mineral aggregate deposits on the subject property. Section 2.5.2.5 of the PPS states that in known deposits of mineral aggregate resources, development that would preclude or hinder the establishment of new operations or access to resources shall only be permitted if resource use would not be feasible. The location of the existing dwelling on the subject property, combined with the two lots in close proximity to the proposed severances (“bookending” the proposed severances - one along Harrowsmith Road and the other along Loughborough Portland Boundary Road) restrict the expansion or establishment of a pit in that vicinity. Further, the Township received confirmation from the Ministry of Natural Resources in September, 2014, that the aggregate on the subject property is low quality sand fill and given the existing development in the area it is unlikely that the deposit could be extracted economically. 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 2.1.2.1 Mineral Aggregates recognizes that the County has a variety of mineral aggregate deposits. The policies in the Plan speak to the protection of all existing mineral aggregate operations from incompatible uses and activities that would preclude or hinder their expansion or continued use. The Plan states that the County or the Townships may require the completion of a study by a qualified professional to demonstrate that the proposed use is consistent with the policies for Page 48 of 170

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT development proposals. Correspondence from the Ministry of Natural Resources in September, 2014 confirmed the aggregate is low quality sand fill and the existing development in the area makes it unlikely that the deposit could be extracted economically. 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 as part of the application review process to ensure that the retained lot and vacant severed lot could be adequately serviced. KFL&A Public Health have visited the site and have no objections to the applications. Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, 2003 Official Plan Designation: Rural, Environmental Protection and Mineral Aggregate The subject property is designated as Rural, Environmental Protection and Mineral Aggregate in the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan. The proposed severances are within the Rural designation. 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 severances and retained lots conform to the Rural designation policies of the Plan. The Environmental Protection designation applies to lands which play an important role in the preservation of the Township’s natural heritage systems. The Official Plan sets out adjacent land distances to varying environmental features with the Township’s Zoning Bylaw establishing setbacks. No development is proposed in the vicinity of the Environmental Protection designation; sufficient area exits on the retained lands to build outside of this designation. Section 5.5 Mineral Aggregate designation includes sand, gravel and limestone resources. It is the intention of Council to protect wherever possible and practical the sand and gravel resources and a reasonable amount of bedrock resources for aggregate extraction and to ensure that the resources are utilized in accordance with proper controls. Within reserve areas, interim land uses such as agriculture, forestry and outdoor recreation uses may be permitted provided the building and activities would not preclude the establishment of a pit or quarry. Section 5.5.2 Influence Area it is a policy of Council to prohibit residential land uses within 150 metres of an existing or proposed pit above the water table and 300 metres from a pit below the water table. According to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, an active pit is in operation on the subject property under a Class B Licence. In email correspondence provided to planning staff from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF), August 2, 2018, MNRF confirmed that the licence is for above the water table. As such, the influence area surrounding the pit is 150 metres. The proposed development (lot creation) is outside of the 150 influence area (see attached mapping). It should be noted that any expansion of the existing licensed are of the pit would require an Official Plan Amendment and such an expansion proposal would be required to address the following issues: impact on ground and surface water; environmental and natural heritage impacts; noise and dust impacts; land use impacts; traffic impacts; and archaeological and cultural heritage impacts. The Official Plan requires spacing considerations for new entrances from previous County Roads, such as Harrowsmith Road. The Public Works Department completed a site visit of the subject property and have no concerns with the proposal to issue a new entrance permit for consent application S-67-18. With regard to consent application S-66-18, the existing two entrances along Harrowsmith Road will be decommissioned and the property accessed by an existing entrance from Loughborough Portland Boundary Road. Township of South Frontenac Zoning Bylaw The property is zoned Rural (R), Environmental Protection (EP), and Pit ‘B’ (PB) 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 severances are within the property zoned Rural. The Page 49 of 170

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT western edge of the subject property is zoned EP. Section 5.8.2 requires a 30 metre horizontal setback of an Environmental Protection zone; no development is proposed in proximity to this area. The PB zoning identifies a pit which produces greater than 20,000 tonnes of mineral aggregate per year (19,685 tons per year). The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is the agency responsible for licencing pits and quarries in Ontario. MNRF maintains a database of active site across Ontario including mapping of the approved site plans. The Township’s Zoning Bylaw includes a larger area as an active pit, compared to the approved MNRF site plan. When measuring the influence area from around the exterior of the PB zoning, the proposed development is beyond the radius. Section 23.3.1 (“For Excavation Area and Storage Uses”) states that the setback from residential, commercial, community facility zone or use (minimum) is 30 metres. Section 23.3.2 (“For Open and Enclosed Pit Processing Operations”) states that the minimum setback from residential, commercial and community facility zone or use of 90 metres. There is suitable area of the retained lot to build outside of the setbacks from the PB zone required setbacks. Planning Comments The application was deferred at the August Committee of Adjustment meeting for Township staff to receive a legal opinion regarding the notice cards being removed from the subject property. The Township solicitor recommended that the notice to neighbouring properties be recirculated and new notice cards issued and placed for a minimum of 14 days before the September Committee of Adjustment meeting.

Agency Analysis and Comments KFL&A Public Health – Comments received from KFL&A Public Health dated August 13, 2018 indicate the lot to be created through Consent Application S-67-18-P is satisfactory for a sewage disposal system and is flexible with regards to its location. Public Comments – As of the time of writing comments have been received from one member of the public. Ron Vandewal expressed concern that the applicant had received differing opinions from Township planning staff as to whether the application could proceed and what the requirements are under the current Official Plan regarding setback distances and potential mineral aggregate deposits.

July 25, 2018 Attention Committee of Adjustment Members

JUL 2 s 20i8 TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH FRONTENAC

i would like to bring to your attention to an application by Rob Smitli re: rhem??o??rye NT Mr Alton wanted to sell his property he ended up calling me because he was getting mixed inf6rm’?ati6n.l went to the Township Office where we printed off a copy of the property. Then Mr Orr, Mr Mills, Ms. Kapusta and myself went through what was allowed now under our Official Plan. Now Mr Alton was allowed to tell the purchaser that one severance on Rutledge Rd was permitted and because of a sand pit near by if the OP changes which is anticipated in 2019 the setbacks on the sand pit would be reduced and then the original house could be severed off and he would be allowed to build on the retained.

Mr Alton was told that nothing is guaranteed but the Province/County new OP would be incorporating reduced set backs on sand pits. However we are working under the Township’s current OP so that could not happen until the Township’s official plan has been updated. This application is contrary to the information that Mr Alton was given. l think at the very least this should be deferred till the applicant(Rob Smith) can provide either an environmental assessment to support the changes to property and/or a Ietter from Pits and Quarry’s to support the changes that are not currently in our OP to be fair to the seller (Mr Alton) of the property.

Thank you

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT PLANNING REPORT – CONSENT APPLICATION Report Date: September 7, 2018, Amended September 10, 2018 Application No: Owner: Location of Property:

S-73-18-P Bond and Smart Concession 10, Part Lot 12, 5801 Cross Road, District of Portland, Township of South Frontenac Purpose of Application: Consent to create one new lot Date of Hearing: September 13, 2-18

Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and pending comments received approve application S-73-18-P for the creation of one new rural residential new. The application was previously deferred at the August 2018 Committee of Adjustment meeting.

Proposal 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. S-73-18-P Consent application S-73-18-P is for the creation of a vacant rural residential lot. The proposed new lot will have approximately 76 metres of frontage along Cross Road and is approximately 2 acres in area. The lot will be regularly shaped with a depth of approximately 105 metres. A new entrance is proposed off Cross Road to accommodate future development on the severed lot. Retained Lot The retained lands will consist of approximately 3 acres in area with approximately 200 metres of frontage combined along Bellrock Road and Cross 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: Yes Current Official Plan Designation: Rural Application conforms with Official Plan, 2003: Yes Current Zoning: Rural Complies with Zoning Bylaw 2003-75: 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 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 Page 62 of 170

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT serviced. The proposed lot meets the Township minimum provisions for the creation of a new lot in the rural designation for residential purposes. Section 1.1.5.9 of the PPS requires that the creation of lots shall comply with the minimum distance separation formulae (MDS). A barn with the potential to house livestock was identified at 4584 Bellrock Road and an MDS I calculation completed for the creation of the new lot. The minimum distance from the livestock facility to the new lot was determined to be 125 m based on the capacity of the unoccupied facility. Section 5.41 of the Township Zoning Bylaw restricts the number of livestock, or nutrient units (NU) permitted to 5 NU on a property between 18-25 acres, such as the subject property. The MDS calculation for 5 NU results in a separation distance of 81 metres. A suitable building envelope exists on the subject property outside of the 81 metre radius. 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, the majority of which is located on the neighbouring. A suitable building envelope exists on the subject property to build outside of the required 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 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 July 25, 2018. 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. The lot will result in infill development along Cross Road. Provisions in the Bylaw regulate the placement of future structures on the severed lot, including yard setbacks and building coverage. Overall, the proposed severance application is consistent with the PPS for the creation of limited residential development on rural lands that can be adequately serviced. 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. Page 63 of 170

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT

Agency Analysis and Comments Public Works Department – Public Works has no objection to approving an entrance permit for the proposed lot. In response to concerns expressed in writing and at the initial hearing planning staff and public works staff met on site with the applicants and neighbour to discuss suitable measures to address the drainage concerns. It was determined that the construction of a swale along the abutting property lines should adequately alleviate any potential negative impacts. The requirement to complete this swale will be suggested to the committee members to be included as a condition of provisional consent. KFL&A Public Health – In comments provided July 25, 208, 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. The proposed lot is flexible in siting the septic system, which will be determined when an application to construct a sewage disposal system is applied for. Public Comments – 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.

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT PLANNING REPORT – CONSENT APPLICATION Report Date: September 11, 2018 Application No: Owner: Location of Property:

S-76-18-B Tucker (Agent: Fotenn Consultants Inc. and Laidlaw) Part Lot 27 and 28, Concession 7, District of Bedford, Township of South Frontenac (668 Dewitt Lane) Purpose of Application: Consent to create one new lot to provide parking facilities to a water access only lot Date of Hearing: September 13, 2018

Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and pending comments received approve application S-76-18-B for the creation of one new lot to provide parking and docking facilities for a water access only lot.

Proposal 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.

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. 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 1.1.5.4 promotes development that is compatible with the rural landscape and can be sustained by rural service levels, while 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 lot for parking and docking facilities. No services are required as part of the application. The proposed lot to be created is geographically separated from the retained lands due to its current configuration; as such the severance will not impact the character of the waterfront. 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. An Environmental Impact Assessment was completed on the subject property to evaluate the proposal given the proximity to Bobs Lake and the Provincially Significant Wetland. The application was reviewed by the Rideau Page 70 of 170

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT Valley Conservation Authority who have no objection to the application and recommendations for the site plan agreement. 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. The Environmental Impact Assessment submitted supports development within the area of the Provincially Significant Wetland. 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 7: Environmental Sustainability sets out policies for the protection of natural heritage features in the County. Of particular interest is Section 7.1.4.1 which states development and site alteration shall not be permitted within lands adjacent to provincially significant wetlands or significant coastal wetlands unless the ecological function of the adjacent lands has been evaluated and it has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on their features or their functions. The Environmental Impact assessment provided with the application supports the placement of the parking facilities setback 30 metres. Township of South Frontenac Official Plan The subject property is designated as Rural and Environmental 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 5.7.7 speak to limited services residential development in the Township. The section recognizes that development shall be permitted on water access only lots provided that the owner demonstrates to Council that land and mooring facilities on the main land are available to permit the parking of automobiles and or storage or docking of boats and boat trailers. The docking facilities are to be owned or tied on perpetuity to the water access only lot and zoned for parking and docking facilities only. The proposal will create parking and docking facilities to provide access to two water access only lots on Mica Island. Section 5.2 Environmental Protection promotes the continued protection of all significant wetlands to maintain and improve water quality, assist in flood control, provide important fish and wildlife habitat and contribute to social and economic benefits including selected outdoor recreational and tourist activities. No new development or site alteration within 120 metres of the PSW is permitted unless it has been demonstrated through an Environmental Impact Assessment that there will be no negative impacts on natural features of ecological functions of the wetland. The Environmental Impact Assessment submitted with the application supports the proposal, including the docks which are under the regulation of Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. Township of South Frontenac Zoning Bylaw The property is zoned Limited Services Residential-Waterfront (RLSW) in the Township of South Frontenac Zoning Bylaw. A condition of provisional consent will be to rezone the severed lands to limit the uses on the subject property to docking and parking facilities.

Agency Analysis and Comments Rideau Valley Conservation Authority – Comments dated September 6, 2018, indicate that Rideau Valley Conversation have no objection to the application. They recommend conditions to be included in the Site Plan Agreement to be registered on title. Public Comments – As of the time of writing, no comments have been received from the public. A site visit was completed by planning staff on August 24, 2018, to review the severance application.

Attention:

Megan Rueckwald

Subject:

TUCKER, Trevor; Application for Consent S-76-18-B 668 Dewitt Lane, Part Lot 27 & 28, Concession 7; Former Township of Bedford, Now the Township of South Frontenac; Roll Number: 10290100503l69000000 —

Dear Ms. Rueckwald,

The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) has reviewed the subject application within the context of:

Section 2.1 Natural Heritage 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 Tay River Bobs 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 lot. The stated purpose of the lot would be for the creation of a parking lot to allow access to Mica Island. There is a concurrent application for a site speci?c zoning by-law amendment (although this has not been circulated to RVCA to date) to limit the permitted uses to a parking lot and dock facility. The proposed lot for parking would be approximately 1.2 acres with a water frontage of 135 metres, a road frontage of 45 metres and a depth of 110 metres. The proposed retained lot will be approximately 8.6 acres with a water frontage of 360 metres, at road frontage of 322 metres and a depth of 250 metres. The Property

The subject property is located on Bob’s Lake which has a regulated ?ood level of 163.07 metres above sea level (geodetic). A portion of the property is occupied by the Michaels Creek Marsh which is a Provincially Signi?cant Wetland (PSW). As a result, the entire property is within the 120 metre adjacent lands from the PSW. The site is heavily vegetated. A hydro easement was observed on the site during the site visit.

Page 1 of 3

Page 74 of 170

A review of the subject property did not indicate the presence of any unstable slopes.

Review Comments and Recommendations Michael ’s Creek Marsh During the site visit Michael’s Creek Marsh was observed. As a PSW, this wetland is regulated by the RVCA. Therefore, any development within the feature, or interference within adjacent lands (l 20 metres) requires the prior written approval of the RVCA. Wetlands provide a variety of bene?ts. These benefits 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 fish).

Bobs Lake Catchment Report

~

East Basin

The water quality report for East Basin is “fair” according to the Bobs Lake Catchment Report. This rating has been assigned due to phosphorus concentrations which exceed the Provincial Water Quality Objective (PWQO) and instances of reduced oxygen concentration throughout much of the water column in the late summer which may stress fish population. Care should be taken to avoid further nutrient enrichment which can fuel the growth of algae and deplete oxygen levels. This can be employed through best management practices such as maintenance of a vegetative buffer and sediment and erosion controls being implemented during site disturbance. Rideau Lakes Study Based on an application of the Rideau Lakes Study, an appropriate setback based on soil type, depth of soil, topography and vegetation cover would be 30 metres from the normal high water mark from Bob’s Lake. It is our understanding, based on the submitted planning rationale, that the proposed parking lot will maintain a 30 metre setback from the normal high water mark. This is supported by the Rideau Lakes Study and the RVCA. Future Development

It is the understanding of the RVCA that a future application will be made should the current application for consent to sever create the parcel of land as described in “the proposal” section of this report. Based on a review of the planning rationale submitted in support of the consent, zoning amendment and site plan applications, it is the understanding that the future site specific zoning by-law amendment will ensure that no buildings or structures are located on the subject property, other than the proposed dock. The RVCA will comment on future applications when they are made. For the future site plan control agreement that is referred to in the planning rationale, the RVCA would have the following recommendations for conditions of said agreement:

Sediment and erosion controls between the construction area and Bobs Lake are to be installed prior to initiation of the work, to remain in place until the site has been allowed to regenerate and vegetation has been re-established to the satisfaction of the Township or Chief Building Official.

Page 2 of 3

Page 75 of 170

-

A_llmaterials from construction (such as demolished materials or excess soil) will be disposed of 30 metres or more from the normal highwater of Bob’s Lake at a proper disposal site.

A planting plan showing a minimum of 30 metres as a vegetative buffer, where possible, shall be prepared and submitted as part of the site plan control agreement. This will be to the satisfaction of the Township. This should take the form of a drawing which depicts the location of the parking lot, dock and vegetation to remain. This would not preclude an access path to the water.

The following statement should be included in the site plan control agreement. “Should any work be undertaken along the shoreline or within the Michaels Creek Wetland, permits would be required by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority in accordance with Ontario Regulation 174/06 ( “Development, with Wetlands and Alteration to Shorelines and Watercourses ”). Interference

"

Conclusions

In conclusion, The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority has no objection to the subject application. 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.

Yours truly,

RE:

Oear Ms. Kapusta,

This Planning Justification Repork, prepared by Fotenn Consultants Inc. on behalf of Angus and Campbell Laidlaw (the “Laidlaws”), is being provided in support of applications for zoning by-Iaw amendment, site plan control, and consent for the property municipally known as 688 Dewitt Lane, located in the Bedford District of the Township of South Frontenac. The proposed planning approvals would restrict the permitted uses on the proposed severed parcel of land to parking and a dock. This will allow the creation of permanent mainland access for the two existing cottages located on Mica Island in Bob’s Lake.

The following materials are being submitted in support of this application: / / / / / / / /

Application fees; Completed application forms; Memorandum to Lindsay Mills, prepared by David Munday; Registered Environmental Impact Assessment, prepared by Ontario Lake Assessments; Plan of Survey 13R-11231 , prepared by Ronald H.

1.I Executive Summary The purpose of this letter is to assess the appropriateness of the proposed development and the requested amendments in the context of the surrounding community and the policy and regulatory lramework applicable to the subject site. It is proposed to sever an approximately O.48-hectare (1 .2 acres) parcel of land, described as Parts 1 - 4 on the registered plan of survey 1 3R-11231 (Appendix B), from the property municipally known as 688 Dewitt Lane.

On the severed Iot, the applicant proposes to create a permanent private parking area and a dock, for the benefit of 2 water access residential lots. 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.

1.2 Development Applications The property is designated as Rural and Environmental Protection on Schedule A - Land Use, in the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, and zoned Limited Service Residential - Waterfront Zone (RLSW) in the Township of South Frontenac Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2003-75. A zoning by-law amendment is required to restrict the permitted uses on the subject site. A site-specific RLSW zone will ensure that no future development on the severed lot will occur, other than the proposed parking and docking facilities, without approval from the Township. Applications for site plan control and consent to sever the parcel, described as Parts 1 - 4 on the registered plan of survey, are submitted concurrently with the proposed zoning by-Iaw amendment. As a condition of severance approval, the applicants are willing to enter into a Site Plan Agreement with the Township, to be registered against both of the Mica Island properties and the severed parcel. As the Laidlaws each own approximately one half of Mica Island, a site plan and restrictive covenant shall be registered on title to the island properties that confirms neither party’s interest in the island property can be transferred independently of the interest in the parking/docking parcel. A Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) permit application for “Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses” will be submitted concurrently with the applications for zoning by-law amendment, site plan control, and consent. The RVCA has indicated that the permit will be issued in conjunction with the municipal planning approval for the proposed severance.

2.0 SURROUNDING AREA & SITE CONTEXT The Laidlaws currently own each half of Mica Island in Bob’s Lake. The two island properties both contain existing cottages, built in 1907 and 1982, respectively. The properties are water-access-only Iots; however, they have no formalized mainland access. Given that both cottages were built prior to the passing of the current zoning by-law requirement to have permanent mainland access, they are existing non-conforming uses. To-date, the Laidlaws have accessed the Mica Island properties by maintaining a friendly relationship with a mainland property owner who has permitted them to park and launch boats from their property via a temporary license agreement which was renewed on an annual basis.

The subject site is municipally known as 688 Dewitt Lane, a vacant site with an area of approximately 4 hectares and waterfront access on Bob’s Lake to the north. The property is Iocated approximately O.8 kilometres south of the southern Mica Island property, and approximately 1 kilometre from the northern Mica Island property. The site is naturally divided in two by a small cove off Bob’s Lake. The bulk of the property, approximately 3.5 hectares of land, is located on the west side of the cove. The remaining portion of the property, an area of approximately O.48 hectares, is located on the eastern side of the cove. The two portions of the property are attached only by a narrovv strip of land, approximately 3.2 metres in width. The site is bounded by Dewitt Lane to the south and an unnamed lane to the east, both of which are approximately s metres in width. The subject site has previously been severed, with an area of approximately 2.2 hectares having been severed from the western side of the original property. The surrounding area consists primarily of Iimited service waterfront and island residential uses. Timmermans Island, the largest island in the vicinity of the subject site, is located approximately 475 metres to the northwest. Ashnelot Island is located approximately 420 metres north of the subject site. The shallow areas of the cove and the lands south of the subject site, across Dewitt Lane, have been identified as provincially significant wetland. An

2.1 Development Proposal Given that the Laidlaws’ access to their properties on Mica Island is entirely dependent upon their relationship with a mainland neighbour, it is proposed to establish permanent mainland access to the Mica Island properkies. In consultation with Mr. Tucker, it was determined that it would not be possible to establish an easement over his property granting the Laidlaws access to the subject site as it would vitiate Mr. Tucker’s coverage under his insurance policy.

As a result, the Laidlaws have instead entered into an agreement with Mr. Tucker to sever and purchase a portion of the subject site, described as Parts 1 - 4 on the registered survey plan, subject to obtaining planning approvals from the Township. All of Mr. Tucker’s property, including the lands the Laidlaws are purchasing, are together with the benefit of a right-of-way over part of the lane described as Part 3, as shown on plan of survey 13R-3661 (Appendix C). The applicants are proposing to construct parking and docking facilities on the proposed severed lot for the purpose of providing mainland access to the Mica Island properties.

Planning Justification Letter

Angus & Campbell Laidlaw

Page 90 of 170

The severed lot consists of the eastern portion of the subject site, an area of approximately O.48 hectares in area, described as Parts 1 - 4 on the registered survey plan. The parcel will be used explicitly for parking and docking purposes. No further development of the parcel is proposed. The retained parcel will continue to comply with the requirements of the Limited Service Residential - Waterfront Zone (RLSW). Four parking spaces will be provided no closer than 30 metres to the high-water mark, accessible via the laneway which runs north-south along the eastern side of the subject site. Additionally, parking will be Iocated at least s metres from any lane or road. A two-stage dock is proposed, consisting of a post-supported dock extending to a floating 1 2-foot by 8-foot (3.6m x 2.4m) dock, where boats may be berthed. The two portions of the dock will be attached by a hinge mechanism. The dock will be capable of berthing two boats, one for each of the water access properties. This arrangement will provide permanent mainland access to the Laidlaws’ island properties. The proposed severed lot is naturally separated from the remainder of the subject site. A site plan and restrictive covenant will be registered on title to the island properties which confirms that neither party’s interest in the island property may be transferred independently of the interest in the proposed mainland access parcel, ensuring that mainland access for the Mica Island properties will be permanently established.

3.0 SUPPORTING STUDIES 3.I Environmental Impact Assessment An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was completed by Ontario Lake Assessments in 2006. The assessment evaluated the subject site for the potential to create four parking spaces and locating a dock within 120 metres of a provincially significant wetland. The findings of the report demonstrate that the proposed development, given the recommendations provided, will incur no adverse impacts to the adjacent wetlands or fish habitats. The recommendations of the report are as follows: / Site Plan Control can be implemented to ensure that the parking area is set back from the wetland fringe a minimum distance of at least 30 metres.

/ Site Plan Control could also be used to ensure that the 30-metre buffer next to the Iake and wetland fringe beyond the area of the proposed dock remain undisturbed.

/ In-water construction cannot occur between March 1 5’h and July 1 5’h to prevent potential interference with pike or bass spawning. / A two-stage dock is required; the first section being an elevated dock (either a pedestal dock on posts or a Fendock style) and the first section being hinged to the second stage floating dock along side to which boats may be moored. The first section is to be of sufficient length to extend beyond the cattail fringe. The total area of the dock should not exceed 300 square feet.

The decking for both stage 1 and 2 of the dock cannot be constructed with pressure treated wood. Cedar is preferred. If treated Iumber is to be used for dock structures above water, it should be environmentally-friendly. Cut, seal, and stain all Iumber away from the water using only environmentally-friendly stains. All sealed and stained Iumber should be completely dry before being used near the water. Ensure plastic barrel floats are free of chemicals inside and outside of the barrel before they are placed in Tt’iere is ample opportunity to gain access to the dock from the parking area without the removal of any mature trees. Access to the dock irom this Iocation can be achieved with Iittle or no impact on the Mitchel Creek Wetland plant community or the upland plant community. During construction eroded from the site.of the parking area, appropriate measures should be taken to ensure sediment is not water.

4.O POLICY & REGULATORY OVERVIEW 4.I Provincial Policy Statement, 2014

The 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides high-Ievel Iand use policy direction on matters of provincial interest as they relate to Iand use planning in Ontario municipalities. Decisions of municipal councils must be consistent with the PPS, which provides direction Tor issues such as the efficient use of land and infrastructure, the protection of natural and cultural heritage resources, maintaining a housing stock that appropriately addresses the demographic and economic diversity of households, encouraging economic development and preserving natural resources(withforpolicies their future In relation to the proposed development, the 2014 PPS includes the following considerations citeduse. in ita/ics): Section 1.0: Building Strong Healthy Communities

Section 1 of the PPS deals with the building of strong and healthy communities. Recognition is given to urban, rural, and northern communities and their diverse populations, economic activities, pace of growth, service levels, and physical and natural conditions. The long-term prosperity, environmental health, and social well-being of communities is dependent on efficient Iand use and development patterns which support sustainability. 7. 7. 7 Healthy, /iveable and safe communities are sustained by:

a)being promoting efficient development and land use patterns which sustain the financial wellof the Province and municipa/ities o ver the /ong term; b) accommodating an appropriate range and mix of residential (including second units, affordab/e housing and housing for older persons), emp/oyment (inc/uding industrial and commercia0, institutional (including places of worship, cemeteries and long-term care homes), recreation, park and open space, and other uses to meet long-term needs; c) avoiding deve/opment and /and use patterns which may cause environmenta/ or public health and safety concerns; e) promoting cost-effective deve/opment patterns and standards to minimize /and

consumption and servicing costs,’

f) improving accessibility for persons with disabi/ities and older persons by identifyjng, preventing and remo ving /and use barriers which restrict their fu// participation in society; h) promoting deve/opment and Iand use patterns that conserve biodiversity and consider the impacts of a changing c/imate.

The proposed development wil not change the existing land use pattern of the rural waterfrorit area. The proposed permanent mainland parking access area will ensure that the Mica Island properties are accessible for the Iongterm, meeting needs of and the users concerns to thethe environment public.without causing any increased servicing demand or posing any health Planning Justification Letter

7. 1.4. 7 Healthy, integrated and viable rural areas should be supported by:

c) Accommodating an appropriate range and mix of housing in rural settlement areas; d) Encouraging the conservation and redeve/opment of existing rura/ housing stock on rural Iands;

e) Using rura/ infrastructure and public service faci/ities efficiently;

The existing access situation to the Mica Island properties is inefficient. By establishing a permanent mainland access point to the island properties, it guarantees that the existing dwellings on the islands will continue to be accessible and usable for the foreseeable future.

    1. s. 9 New /and uses, induding the creation of /ots, and ne w or expanding /ivestock facilities, sha// comply The minimum distance separation formulae recommend minimum distances to be provided between Iivestock facilities and sensitive land uses, such as residential uses. Aiter conducting searches using aerial imagery, no nearby barns or livestock operations were identified within one kilometre of the property. Furthermore, the proposed use for the severed lot does not constitute a sensitive use. with the minimum distance separation formulae.

Section 2.0: Wise Use and Management of Resources

Section 2 of the PPS deals with the Wise Use and Management of Resources such as natural heritage features and areas, watersheds, prime agricultural areas, mineral and petroleum resources, and significant built and cultural heritage resources. There are no identified cultural heritage features in proximity of the subject site that will be adversely impacted by the proposed development. 2. 7. 1 Naturaj features and areas shal/ be protected for the /ong term.

The proposed development will protect the natural feati.ires and areas on and around the subject site for the long lerm by restricting the permitted uses to parking and a dock. The parking area will be setback a minimum of 30 metres from the highwater mark, ensuring that no negative impacts on the wetland features will be incurred. This is consistent with the findings and recommendations of the EIA. The proposed dock will be of a two-staged design. The first stage will consist of an elevated post-supported dock. The second stage will be a floating 1 2-foot by 8foot (3.6m x 2.4m) dock where boats may be berthed. The EIA has demonstrated that this design will incur no adverse impacts to the adjacent wetlands. By restricting the permitted uses on the subject site as such, no other

development may occur on the site and the wetlands will be protected for the Iong-term.

  1. 7.8 Development and site alteration sha/l not be permitted on adjacent /ands to the natural heritage features and areas identified in po/icies 2. 1.4, 2. 7.5, and 2. 1.6 un/ess the eco/ogical function of the adjacent lands has been eva/uated and it has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or on their ecologica/ functions. Policies 2.1 .4, 2.1 -si and 2.1 .6 identify the wetlands adjacent to the subject site as a provincially significant natural heritage feature. The supporting EIA has demonstrated that the proposed development will not incur any negative impacts to the significant wetlands or fish habitats. This will be ensured by restricting the permitted uses on the site to parking and a dock. The parking area will be setback a minimum of thirty metres from the highwater mark. The proposed dock will feature a two-staged design, consisting of a post-supported dock extending to a floating dock, measuringof12-feet recommendations the EIA.by 8-feet (3.6m x 2.4m). The proposed development complies with all of the

Section 3.0: Protecting Public Health and Safety

Section 3 of the PPS deals with protection of public health and safety. The policies in this section direct development away from naturally-occurring and human-made hazard Iands, such as floodplains, erosion-prone areas, lormer mining and aggregate extraction operations, and other types of contaminated areas. The provincially significant wetlands adjacent to the subject site pose a potential natural hazard. As such, the Iocation of the proposed parking area will be setback from the high-water mark by a minimum of 30 metres, as per the recommendations of the EIA, to ensure the safety and health of both the natural environment and the users of the site are protected. It is our professional planning opinion that the proposed zoning by-law amendment, site plan control, and consent applications are consistent with the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement.

4.2 County of Frontenac Official Plan

The County of Frontenac Official Plan was adopted in 2014 and was approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in 2016. The County Official Plan provides a high-level framework for guiding land use changes in the County, providing policy direction on matters regardiriq economic sustainability, growth management, community building, housing and social services, heritage and culture, and environmental sustainability. Of particular relevance to this application is the County’s policies regarding wetlands, per Section 7.1 .4.L Wetlands are identified as an important natural heritage Teati.ire which contribute to the biodiversity of the county. In general, no development or site alteration shall be permitted within Iands adjacent to provincially significant wetlands unless it can be demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on their features or functions. The proposed development will restrict permitted uses on the subject site to parking and a dock. Parking will be setback a minimum of 30 metres from the highwater mark to ensure that there are no adverse impacts on the wetland features. The proposed dock will consist of a two-stage design, featuring an elevated post-supported section, as well as a floating dock measuring 1 2-feet by 8-feet (3.6m x 2.4m) in size. These measures comply with the recommendations wetland or fish habitats.of the EIA, which states that the proposed development will have no impact upon the 4.3 Township of South Frontenac Official Plan

The Township of South Frontenac Official Plan was adopted in 2003, with the most recent text amendments being approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in 2013. There is currently a Draft Official Plan available which was presented to Council in 2015, however it is not as of yet in force or effect. As such, the following sections italics) : of the current Official Plan, as they related to this application, are reviewed below (with policies cited in / Section s: Land Use Policies / Section 7: Division of Land Section s: Land Use Policies

Section s provides policy direction for the Iand resources within South Frontenac. Seven land use designations are identified, as well as the Environmentally Sensitive Areas sub-designation which identifies and protects certain environmental and resources features. The subject site is designated Environmental Protection and Rural on Schedule A - Land Use, in the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan.

Section 5.2 Environmental Protection

Section 5.2 of the Official Plan provides policy the Environmental Protection land use designation. These Iands are critical to the preservation of the Township’s natural heritage systems including wetlands, watercourses and lakes and significant portions of the habitat of threatened or endangered species. Section 5.2. s - Se vera/ wetland areas in the To wnship ha ve been e va/uated through the pro vincia/ Wet/and Eva/uation System as being Provincially Significant. Evaluated wetlands that have been dassified as provincially significant are designated Environmental Protection and identified by the symbol’W’ on the Land Use Schedu/e. The Township wil/ promote the continued protection of a/l significant wetlands to maintain and improve water quality, assist in flood contro4 provide important fish and wildlife habitat and contribute to substantia/ social and economic benefits which inc/ude selected outdoor recreationa/ and tourism re/ated activities.

The subject site is Iocated adjacent to identified provincially significant wetlands. Notwithstanding Section 5.2. 1, no deve/opment or site a/terations sha// be permitted within any of the significant wetlands. The Township wi/I zone a/l provincial/y significant wet/ands as areas for environmental protection and conservation and wil/ encourage protection and consetvation of a// other wet/ands in order to maintain their hydrologic, sociai wild/ife habitat features and recreationa/ benefits. No new development or site alteration within 120 metres (394 fee0 of a provincia/ly significant wet/and, nor the expansion or rede ve/opment of existing de ve/opment within or adjacent to a pro vincially significant wetland is permitted unless it has been determined through an Environmental /mpact Assessment, comp/eted in accordance with Section 5.2. 7 1 of this p/an, that there wi/I be no negative impacts on the natural features or ecological functions of the wetland. Development on existing /ots of record which are /ocated within or adjacent to a provincia/ly significant wetland wi/I be permitted, subject to the requirements of Section 5.2. 7 7. Notwithstanding the above, estab/ished agricultural activities are permitted within and adjacent to a pro vincially significant wetland without an Environmental Impact Assessment. The proposed development will encourage the protection and conservation of the wetlands by ensuring that only parking and docking facilities will be permitted on the subject site. No development or site alteration will occur within significant wetlands, with the exception of the placement of a post-supported dock which will be subject to permit approval by the RVCA. An Environmental Impact Assessment was completed in 2007. The RVCA has indicated that this assessment addresses their considerations given the limited scale of the proposed development. It was noted that the dimensions of the dock required confirmation. The proposed two-stage dock will consist of a post-supported dock over the wetland grasses to minimize impact to the natural heritage feature. A 1 2-foot by 8-foot floating dock will attach to the post-supported dock, beyond the wetland grasses, where boats would be berthed.

However, no deve/opment or site alterations sha/I be permitted within significant potfions of threatened or endangered species or within a Pro vincial/y Significant Wetland a/though existing agricultural uses will be permitted and a//o wed to continue.

No development or site alterations are permitted within the provincially significant wetland, as per Section 5.2.5, with the exception of the placement of a post-supported dock which will be subject to permit approval by the RVCA.

The Rural land designation provides policy direction for lands characterized by a rural landscape which reinforces the historical relationship between the Settlement Areas and the surrounding farm, rural and seasonal residential communities. Land uses in the Rural designation include but are not limited to: limited service residential; agriculture; open space; and conservation. Section 5.7.7p0 -The uses permitted shall be single detached residential dwellings, seasonal residential dwellings, seasonal dwellings converted to permanent dwellings and home occupations. The proposed development will not result in the construction of any dwellings.

hectare {2. s acres) with a minimum of 91 metres (300 fee0 of water frontage and 76 metres (250 feet) of frontage on a private road. The municipality may consider reductions to the minimum /ot size and frontage requirements provided the overal/ intent of the P/an is maintained.

The proposed development does not meet the minimum requirements for lot size or frontage on a private road, however the overall intent of the Plan is maintained because the proposed lot will only provide access to existing island development. The proposed development would, as per the provisions of Section 5.7.7(iii), bring the Mica Island properties into conformity with the Official Plan by establishing permanent mainland access. The proposed zoning by-law amendment will ensure that no uses other than parking and docking facilities be permitted on the site. As such, the reduced lot size and frontage of the site are appropriate given the limited proposed uses, and will resolve the Iong-standing issue of a non-conforming access regime for the Mica Island properties. d) Limited service residential deve/opment sha/l be serviced by private water and sanitary sewage disposal systems. Such systems shal/ be approved by the appropriate authority. No development, other than the creation of a permanent parking and docking area, will be built on the subject site. No servicing is required for the proposed uses. This again will be ensured through the site-specific zoning by-law amendment.

e) Limited service residential deve/opment sha/I be designed to preserve as much as possjble a site’s physical attributes, such as tree coverage, vatying topography scenic views, etc, for the benefit of future residents.

As many of the site’s natural physical attributes as possible will be maintained. Minimal tree removal and shoreline alteration above the high-water mark will be required. Q Limited service residential development shall be developed in accordance with the app/icab/e po/icies of Section 5.2 of this Plan. The applicable provisions of Section 5.2 are addressed above. g) Where communal docking facilities are proposed, such faci/ities shall be /ocated a suitab/e distance, generally 60 metres (796. 8 feet), from the nearest residentia/ use, residentia/ land use designation or residential zone. It is our understanding that this provision regarding communal docking facilities is intended for more intensive docking facility operations than that which is proposed, such as a marina. A marina would include facilities for the berthing, storage, servicing, and repairing of boats as well as the storage of marine fuels and Iubricants. The proposed dock is to be used solely by the applicants and is a communal facility only in that it will be shared by the two owners of the Mica Island properkies. The dock will be setback approximately 10 metres from the northern lot Iine and approximately 20 metres from the nearest boat house to the north. The nearest residential dwelling is Iocated approximately 100 metres north of the proposed dock. Section s. 7. Qii) (b) and (d) - Lakes and rivers within the To wnship contain a number of is/ands and remote areas. Many islands and remote areas of the Township offer the opportunity for /imited service residential use. Consequent/y, /imited service residential development sha// be permitted on water access only lots pro viding: b) that access to the water body in which the is/and is situated is availab/e via a navigable waterway and/or a public road or an existing private or unassumed public road of sufficient quality to ensure the provision of appropriate sewices to the island;

d) that in the case of a /ot which has water access only, the owner of the water access lot demonstrates to the satisfaction of Council that land and mooring facilities on the main/and are available to permit the parking of automobi/es and/or the storage or docking of boats and boat

trai/ers etc. associated with the use of the wateraccess Iot, in this way ensuring minima/ disruption to residents on the main/and. Such facilities sha/] be owned or tied in perpetuity to the water access only Iot and be zoned for parking and docking faci/ities only; The Mica Island properties, owned by the applicants, are existing non-conforming sites in that they are water access only lots with unsecured mainland access. The proposed development will result in the creation of a permanent mainland access for the subject sites. Land and mooring facilities on the mainland will be provided to permit the parking of automobiles and the docking of boats associated with the use of the water access lots. This will be a significant improvement to the existing situation which requires the goodwill of a neighbour to allow the applicants to access their property. It is proposed to tie the mainland lot to the island properties in perpetuity and to rezone the mainland lot to exclusively permit private parking and a dock. Section 7: Division of Land

Section 7.1 General Consent Policies Applicable to All Land Use Desiqnations The provisions of section 7.1 apply in addition to all other policies of the Official Plan. Only points (a) and (c) - (0 are relevant to the proposed development.

a) Consents shall on/y be granted when it is dearly not necessary in the pub/ic interest that a Plan of Subdivision be registered. /n this regard, consents wil/ be considered when the creation of new /ots, in the opinion of the Municipa/jty, will c/early have no adverse environmental, social or economic impact on the Township or adjacent land uses. Given the limited impact of the proposed development, a Plan of Subdivision has not been identified as a requirement of the Township. c) Thesizeofanyparceloflandcreatedbyconsentshallbeappropriatefortheusesproposed.Noparce/ of land created as a resu/t of a consent shall be /ess than that prescribed in the respective land use desjgnations of this P/an, except for parcels created as lot additions or for technica/ reasons. It is proposed to sever a parcel of land which is smaller than the size prescribed in the Rural Iand designation under Section 5.7.7(ii)(a); however, the parcel is to be created for the technical reason of establishing a permanent mainland access to the two Mica Island properties, in conformity with Sectiom 5.7.7(iii). d) Consents should be granted which generally provide for a satisfactory geometric design of the se vered and retained parcels.

The proposed consent will divide the existing lot along a natural severance point. The geometric design of the severed and retained parcels are logical given the proposed uses. e) Consents sha// not be granted for a parcel of land which is subject to flooding or erosion, or other physical hazard, and where no building envelope is identified on the /ot, when the use of the parcel requires that a bui/ding be erected. The advice of the appropriate authority wil/ be sought in this regard. The land is not subject to flooding or erosion and it is not proposed to erect a building on the land. Permits will be

required for the creation of the proposed dock.

f) A// app/ications for consent shal/ be accompanied with a sketch showing to sca/e the dimensions of the Iots (severed and retained) to be created by the proposed consent. In addition, existing buildings and setbacks from the propetty lines and major topographic and land features such as an escarpment, creek or wetland sha// be shown. The sketch shal/ a/so identify all buildings, septic systems and we/ls on the /ands subject to the consent application as we/l as on adjacent /ands. For those app/ications which constitute an addition to a holding, the sketch shal/ show the /ocation, size, use and ownership of the Iot to be enlarged.

A sketch outlining the scale and dimensions of the severed and retained Iots, as well as major land features has been submitted with this application. There are no buildings on the subject site and none are proposed to be built. g) The creation of no more than two /ots in tota/ (7. e. inc/uding severed and retained) sha/l result from any one severance application for a new lot. Consents that are to establish a /egal right-of-way for more than 2 7 years will require an app/ication for consent when it is not part of a proposed new /ot. The severance application for a new lot will result in two Iots (including severed and retained). h) Consents which would resu/t in /and/ocking a parce/ wi/I be denied. Al/ new lots, except Iimited service residentia/ /ots, sha// front onto and gain direct access from an existing pub/ic road which reflects a reasonable standard of pavement or gravel construction and is maintained year-round by the municipality.

The proposed consent will not result in a landlocked parcel. The proposed retained and severed lots will be limited service residential lots, therefore not being required to have direct access to an existing public road with yearround maintenance by the municipality.

i) Consents shou/d not be granted for /and adjacent to a road from which access is to be obtained where a traffic hazard would be created because of limited sight /ines on cutves or grades. Access will be provided in a manner that ensures appropriate site lines are maintained. The proposed development conforms with the policies of the Official Plan. The Rural and Environmental Protection designations are generally supportive of the proposed uses, provided that sensitive environmental features are not overly adversely impacted. The overall impact of the proposed development will be minimal to the surrounding area and will serve to bring the existing non-conforming properties located on Mica Island into conformity with Section 5.7.7(iii) of the Official Plan by ensuring mainland access. It is our professional planning opinion that the proposed zoning by-Iaw amendment, site plan control, and consent applications conform with the policies of the Township of South Frontenac’s Official Plan.

5.O CURRENT & PROPOSED ZONING The subject site is zoned Limited Service Residential - Waterfront Zone (RLSW) in the Township of South Frontenac Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2003-75. The proposed zoning by-law amendment will rezone severed parcel to a site-specific Special Limited Service Residential - Waterfront Zone (RLSW-X). The site-specific zone will ensure that the site be maintained as a permanent mainland access for the Mica Island properties by restricting the permitted uses to parking and docking facilities, as required for accessing the two water access residential lots. The intent of the site-specific zone is the ensure that there will be no development other than the proposed parking and docking facilities. The retained parcel will continue to comply with the requirements of the Limited Service Residential - Waterfront Zone (RLSW). 5.I Permitted Uses

It is proposed to restrict the permitted uses on the severed parcel to parking and a dock for the benefit of two water access residential lots. This will ensure that the site may only operate as a mainland access point for the Mica Island properties and that no future significant development or site alteration will occur on the site without prior municipal approvals. A boat launching pad would be prohibited and not included within the definition of a dock. A site plan agreement will control the disturbed areas. 5.2 Parking

The minimum parking requirements, per section 5.30.1 of the Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2003-75, states that residential uses must provide a minimum of two spaces for every dwelling unit. Given that the subject site will be used by both water access properties on Mica Island, each containing a cottage, it is proposed to provide four parking spaces to meet the requirements of the zoning by-law, per Section 5.30.1 .1 . The by-law requires that parking be setback a minimum of 15 metres from the high-water mark, per Section 5.25.2. The proposed parking will be setback at least 30 metres from the high-water mark, exceeding the requirement of the zoning by-law.

6.O CONCLUSION The applicants are seeking to establish a permanent mainland access regime for their water access properties Iocated on Mica Island. To-date, the Mica Island properties contain non-conforming cottage dwelling uses which do not have land or mooring facilities on the mainland from which they may access their respective sites, as is required per Section 5.7.7(iii) of the Official Plan.

It is proposed to rezone an area of approximately O.48 hectares, described as Parts 1 - 4 on the registered plan of survey, to a site-specific RLSW-X zone which permits only private car parking and a dock for the benefit of the two water access residential lots Iocated on Mica Island. The proposed zoning by-law amendment will ensure that the subject site will be maintained and used solely as a mainland access for the island properties, and that no development or site alteration, other than the parking and docking facilities, may occur without municipal approvals.

The RVCA is the responsible authority for issuing a permit for “Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shoreline and Watercourses,” which will allow the creation of the proposed dock. The permit will be issued concurrently with approval from the municipality for the proposed consent. It is our professional planning opinion that this zoning by-Iaw amendment represents good planning.

MEMORANDUM TO:

LINDSAY MILLS, TOWNHSIP OF SOUTH FRONTENAC

COPY TO: CAMPBELL LAIDLAW & AN(,US LAIDLAW FROM:

DAVID MUNDAY

DATE:

APRIL 11, 2018

RE:

CREATION/SEVERANCE OF MAINLAND PARKING PARCEL

FILENO.: 32110-1

Dear Mr. Mills,

Thank you for speaking with me at Iength February 23.

The purpose of this memorandum is to clarify our discussion and the proposal that will be forthcoming from Campbell and Angus Laidlaw to ensure everyone is proceeding on the same understanding.

As discussed with you initially at the end of 2017, we have been retained by Campbell & Angus

Laidlaw (the “Laidlaws”), two brothers who each own one half (1 /2) of Mica Island in Bob"s Lake

(GIS image attached).

The Laidlaws’ island properties both contain existing cottages that were builtin 1907 and 1982 respectively and pre-date the current zoning requirement of having deeded mainland access. These are “water access only” properties.

The existing mainland access situation for the Laidlaws has depended upon having friendly relations with a mainland property owner who has permitted them to park and launch boats via a temporary licence agreement that was renewed annually. This access arrangement is obviously less than ideal given its tenuous nature and the Laidlaws have therefore sought options to secure permanent mainland parking & access.

To that end, the Laidlaws have entered an agreement with Mr. Trevor Tucker, the owner of mainland property to buy an approximately 1 .2 acre parcel of land (described as Parts 1 - 4 on the attached Plan), subject to obtaining planning approvals from the municipality. As discussed, the lands in q uestion are almost naturally severed and are connected only by a very narrow Iand

Page 107 of 170

2

bridge in any case (i.e. to anyone viewing the property, it would appear that it is already separate).

The owner of the lands is agreeable to selling the parcel to the Laidlaws, but is notin a position to grant an easement, as he has been advised by his insurer that doing so will vitiate coverage under his insurance policy.

Further to our telephone conversation and prior meeting at our offices to review the proposal, it is the position of the Laidlaws that a severance of the aforementioned Iands for the pu rposes of an “island parking/access” parcel conforms with the Township’s Official Plan and can be supported, provided the lands are concurrently rezoned to a site specific zoning that precludes any future/potential basis for residential development at any point in the future. As discussed with you, in our view, OP policy 5.7.7(iii)(d) su pports the creation of the proposed Iot, which will be exclusively for the use of parking/docking facilities only. The proposal will regularize the access regime for these existing island properties in the manner outlined by the Official Plan. We also note that there is precedent for this type of application in the Township. To that end, the Laidlaws are prepared to proceed as follows: *

To submit an application for rezoning the proposed parcel to permit parking & docking only;

Subsequent to confirmation the zoning has been approved, to submit a Consent

Application to sever the parcel; @

As a condition of Severance Approval to enter into a Site Plan Agreement with the Township to be registered against both the island properties and the severed parcel, further reinforcing the nature of the property’s use; As a further assu rance, the Laidlaws will undertake to enter a Restrictive Covenant to be

registered on title to the island properties that confirms neither party’s interest in the island property can be transferred independently of the interest in the parking/docking parcel.

Prior to submitting all of the foregoing applications and incurring significant costs, the Laidlaws are seeking confirmation that planning staff at the municipality are supportive of the proposal and will recommend approval if/when the matter goes before Coi?incil and/or the Committee of Adji?istment.

We trust everything is clear, howeverif you have any q uestions, please contact the undersigned. S i n ce re Iy,

2.1 Provincially Siguiflcsnt Wetland Designatffion

The Pro’vinciaJJy Siguificunt Wetlarxd designaticm is determined and set by MNR? and/or the Conservution A?it}tority. Wetlaiids have bcen lost from southern Omai’io at an

alarming rate in the psst 100 years duc to draiyiin@, fitling, deforestatioxi and excavatiort/mining for perxi and soil. Along ivitli loss of the physical reatures, ec..osystem fiioetion and stabilit’y, is tbc IOSS of habitat for au weilaitd plant and animal corrunumties and species. Bobs Lalce lies in the Rideau River watershed. The, watershed southeast of Bobs Lalce has

many aiaeas ctassifie.d as Provinciall>i Significant Vv’etland, Inland wetland pockets east of Cncen Bay and the eastern basin of F?,ohs [,al<e have been complexed with others nearby to form this desigi?iation. Many of tbe pockets stand alone w}‘ffle O’ie wetlarzd ia ’tbe sza subicct of this applicatioti frorits ori Bobs Lal<e at twa locations. The combination o€ lake surface area and shorelinc, wetiands a,rid ?iplaxid areas in close proximity crcates a stabJe, diversc and iicalthy ecosystem. The Mitcliel Cree?c Wet)and is not only important for main(ai?g water quaUty and ecological cli-versity but also prov;xdes critical habitat fot mmiy fish species. s

David,

l think it’s something we can do. My only hesitation is that it arguably doesn"t meet the intent of the OP regarding minimum Iot sizes ie., it would only be about 1.2 acres in size. I think as Iong as the covenant is registered to tie the parcels together, then it is supportable. l hope this helps. Lindsay

MEMORANDUM TO:

LINDSAY MILLS, TOWNHSIP OF SOUTH FRONTENAC

COPY TO: CAMPBELL LAIDLAW & ANGUS LAIDLAW FROM:

DAVID MUNDAY

DATE:

APRIL 11, 2018

RE:

CREATION/SEVERANCE OF MAINLAND PARKING PARCEL

FILENO.: 32110-1

Dear Mr. Mills,

Thank you for speaking with me at Iength February 23. The purpose of this memorandum is to clarify our discussion and the proposal that will be forthcoming from Campbell and Angus Laidlaw to ensure everyone is proceeding on the same understanding. As discussed with you initially at the end of 201 7, we have been retained by Campbell & Angus Laidlaw (the “Laidlaws?), two brothers who each own one half (1 /2) of Mica Island in Bob"s Lake

(GIS image attached).

The Laidlaws’ island properties both contain existing cottages that were builtin 1907 and 1982 respectively and pre-date the current zoning requirement of having deeded mainland access. These are ?water access only? properties. The existing mainland access situation for the Laidlaws has depended upon having friendly relations with a mainland prope% owner who has permitted them to park and Iaunch boats via a temporary licence agreement that was renewed annually. This access arrangement is obviously less than ideal given its tenuous nature and the Laidlaws have therefore sought options to secure permanent mainland parking & access. To that end, the Laidlaws have entered an agreement with Mr. Trevor Tucker, the owner of mainland property to buy an approximately 1 .2 acre parcel of land (described as Parts 1- 4 on the attached Plan), subject to obtaining planning approvals from the municipality. As discussed, the lands in question are almost naturally severed and are connected only by a very narrow land

Page 127 of 170

2

bridge in any case (i.e. to anyone viewing the property, it would appear that it is already separate).

The owner of the lands is agreeable to selling the parcel to the Laidlaws, but is notin a position to grant an easement, as he has been advised by his insurer that doing so will vitiate coverage under his insurance policy. Further to ou r telephone conversation and prior meeting at our offices to review the proposal, it is the position of the Laidlaws that a severance of the aforementioned lands for the purposes of an “island parking/access” parcel conforms with the Township"s Official Plan and can be supported, provided the lands are concurrently rezoned to a site specific zoning that precludes any future/potential basis for residential development at any point in the future. As discussed with you, in our view, OP policy 5.7.7(iiiXd) supports the creation of the proposed lot, which will be exclusively for the use of parking/docking facilities only. The proposal will regularize the access regime for these existing island properties in the manner outlined by the Official Plan. We also note that there is precedent for this type of application in the Township. To that end, the Laidlaws are prepared to proceed as follows: *

To submit an application for rezoning the proposed parcel to permit parking & docking only; Subsequent to confirmation the zoning has been approved, to submit a Consent Application to sever the parcel; As a condition of Severance Approval to enter into a Site Plan Agreement with the Township to be registered against both the island properties and the severed parcel, further reinforcing the nature of the property"s use; As a further assurance, the Laidlaws will undertake to enter a Restrictive Covenant to be

registered on title to the island properties that confirms neither party’s interest in the island property can be transferred independently of the interestin the parking/docking parcel.

Prior to submitting all of the fo:;.egoing applications and incurring significant costs, the Laidlaws are seeking confirmation that planning staff at the municipality are supportive of the proposal and will recommend approval if/when the matter goes before Council and/or the Committee of Adjustment. We trust everything is clear, however if you have any q uestions, please contact the undersigned. Sincerely,

David C. Munday

If treated lumber is to be used for dock structures above water, it should be envirorimentaLty-frieindly (see def5nition below).Cut, seal and stain all lumber

There 3s amp2e opportunity to gain access to the dock from The parking area without the removal of any mature trees. Access to the dock from this location can be achieved with little :0r no impact on the Mitchel Creek Wetland plant community or the uplnnd plant cormnunjty.

During construction of the parking area appropriate measures should be taken to ensuxe sediment is not eroded from the site (see DFO control measures above.

The existing lot has frontage on Desert Lake Road and Howes Lake and is approximately 19 acres in area. The subject property is currently developed with a dwelling and multiple accessory buildings in proximity to Desert Lake Road, with the remainder a mix of woodlands and some pasturelands. The applicant is proposing to sever a minimum of 2 acres from the existing 19 acre property in order to create one new rural residential lot. The subject property includes Woods Lane, a private road, which serves as access to eight waterfront cottage properties. S-77-18-P Consent application S-77-18-P is for the creation of a rural residential lot. The proposed new lot would have 76 metres of frontage along Desert Lake Road and would be a minimum of 2 acres in size. The proposed lot would be irregularly shaped due to an existing lot of record, known municipally as 4342 Desert Lake Road, which was severed from the southeast corner of the subject lands. The proposed lot would contain all existing structures. The application S-77-18-P is also for the creation of a right-of-way over Woods Lane in favour of the retained parcel. Retained Lot The retained lands will consist of approximately 17 acres in area with approximately 280 metres of frontage along Desert Lake Road. The retained land will be vacant, but has a sufficiently sized building envelope to permit the construction of a new dwelling, along with required private water and sewage disposal systems. The applicant has indicated they plan to construct a new dwelling with increased proximity to Howes Lake. The retained lands will be accessed via a right-of-way over the existing Woods Lane and will have a Woods Lane municipal address. Page 143 of 170 REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT Planning Analysis Consistent with Provincial Policy Statement, 2014: Yes Current Official Plan Designation: Rural Application conforms with Official Plan, 2003: Yes Current Zoning: Rural Complies with Zoning Bylaw 2003-75: 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 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 which is already 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. 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. Page 144 of 170 REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT 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. The proposed lot is already serviced with a private well and sewage disposal system. 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, is currently developed with a dwelling, is serviced by private water and septic system and is located along a Township road. Section 7.1 General Consent Policies prevent the creation of any new lot, except limited service residential lots, that do not front onto and gain access from a fully maintained public road and do not permit the creation of new lots adjacent to a road from which access is to be obtained where a traffic hazard would be created because of limited sight lines on curves or grades. Due to the topographical constraints and sightline challenges along this section of Desert Lake Road, along with comments received from the Public Works Department, planning staff are able to support the retained parcel gaining access from Woods Lane via a right-of-way over the proposed lot, despite having frontage on Desert Lake Road. 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. The proposed new lot will meet the minimum lot area and frontage requirements for a single detached residential. Provisions in the Bylaw regulate the placement of future structures on the severed lot, including yard setbacks and building coverage. Agency Analysis and Comments Public Works Department – Public Works has indicated that an additional entrance from Desert Lake Road to service the retained parcel would not be possible due to topographical constraints and sightline challenges. They recommend accessing the retained parcel via Woods Lane for safety reasons. KFL&A Public Health – In comments provided September 6, 2018 KFL&A Public Health indicated that they had no objection to the severance. Soil conditions on the retained lot will require additional suitable granular soil to construct a sewage disposal system. The proposed lot is capable of providing flexibility in siting a sewage disposal system, dependant on the proposal submitted. Public Comments – As of the time of writing, no comments have been received from the public. Page 145 of 170 REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT A site visit was completed by planning and public works staff, on August 24, 2018, to review the severance application. Conditions 1. An acceptable reference plan or legal description of the severed lands in duplicate [Registry Act, s.81, Land Titles Act, s. 150], and the deed or instrument conveying the severed lands shall be submitted to the Secretary-Treasurer for review and consent endorsement within a period of one year [Planning Act, s. 53(41)] after the "Notice of Decision" is given [Planning Act, ss. 53(17) and 53(24)]. 2. The land to be severed by Consent Application S-77-18-P shall be for the creation of a minimum 2 acre lot with a minimum of 76 metres of frontage along Desert Lake Road. 3. The land to be retained by Consent Application S-77-18-P shall be approximately 17 acres with a right-of-way over the severed lands to provide access to Woods Lane. 4. The surveyor who prepares the reference plan referred to in Condition #1 shall also determine by survey the width of the public road abutting the severed lands measured from the centre line of the traveled portion of the road to the lot line of the owner’s property. If such width is less than 33 ft., the owner shall dedicate to the Township land along the frontage of the severed and/or retained lands as the case may be in the following manner: a. The land to be dedicated shall be the width required to provide 33 ft. from the centre of the existing travelled road; b. The land to be dedicated shall be described as a separate part on a Reference Plan of Survey to be prepared and deposited at the Owner’s expense and filed with the Secretary-Treasurer prior to the stamping of the deeds; c. The Transfer/Deed from the Owner for the land to be dedicated shall be engrossed in the name of “The Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac”, and shall include the following attached to the Transfer/Deed as a Schedule: The Transferor hereby transfers the lands to the municipality for the purpose of widening the adjacent highway pursuant to Section 31(6) of the Municipal Act, 2001, Chapter 25, as amended. d. The Transfer/Deed for the land to be dedicated shall be registered by the Owner at the Owner’s expense; e. The duplicate registered Transfer/Deed for the land to be dedicated together with a letter of opinion of a solicitor qualified to practice law in the Province of Ontario addressed to the Secretary-Treasurer confirming that the municipality acquired good and marketable title to the land free and clear of all liens and encumbrances shall be delivered to the Secretary-Treasurer prior to stamping of Deeds. 5. Payment of the balance of any outstanding taxes and local improvement charges shall be made to the Township Treasurer. This includes all taxes levied as of the date of the stamping of the deeds. Page 146 of 170 REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT 6. In the event that there are abandoned wells located on the property being severed, and the retained property, they be sealed in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of the Environment and that this work be accomplished prior to the stamping of the deeds. 7. The Township of South Frontenac shall receive 5% of the value of the parcel to be severed through Consent Application S-77-18-P, in lieu of parkland [Planning Act, s. 51(1)].

Proposal An application for consent has been received for the creation of one new residential waterfront lot, from an existing property at Part Lot 7, Concession 5, District of Loughborough, known municipally as 2496 Rutledge Road (see attached map). The existing lot has frontage on Rutledge Road and Sydenham Lake and is approximately 70 acres in area. The subject property is currently developed with a dwelling and multiple accessory buildings near to Rutledge Road, with the remainder mostly naturally vegetated. The applicant is proposing to sever approximately 5.4 acres from the existing 70 acre property in order to create one new residential waterfront lot, together with a right-of-way over Sheila Lane for access. The subject property includes Sheila Lane, Sally Lane, Boon Lane, Carslake Lane, Fred Lane and Sparrow Ridge Lane, all private roads, which serve as access to more than 20 waterfront cottage properties. S-77-18-P Consent application S-78-18-L is for the creation of a residential waterfront lot. The proposed new lot would have a minimum of 76 metres of frontage along Boon Lane, 91 metres of waterfrontage on Sydenham Lake and would be approximately 5.4 acres in size. The proposed lot would encompass the entire 91 metres of waterfrontage from the subject lands and lot would be vacant. The application S-78-18-L is also for the creation of a right-of-way over Sheila Lane and Boon Lane, as required for access, in favour of the severed parcel. A new entrance from Boon Lane is proposed to accommodate future development on the severed lot.

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 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 would result in the creation of one new residential waterfront lot which can be adequately serviced. The proposed lot would meet 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. 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. Page 150 of 170 REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT 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 Waterfront Areas contains policies for waterfront development including the goal to improve and protect waterfront areas. 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. The application was circulated to KFL&A Public Health to ensure the lot could be adequately serviced; KFL&A Public Health has no objection to the proposed severance. 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 5.7.7 Limited Service Residential Policies permit development within the Rural area on a body of water or natural water course where the primary means of access is from a private road or navigable waterway. As a rule, the minimum lot sizes are to be 1.0 hectare (2.5 acres) with 76 metres (250 feet) of frontage along a private road and 91 metres (300 feet) of frontage on a waterbody. Further, a maximum of three limited service 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 and accessed by either newly created private roads or extensions to existing private roads. The proposed lot exceeds the minimum lot size, meets minimum required frontages, has adequate space for services and would be located on an existing private road. Section 5.7.7 (ii) c) Limited Service Residential Development Policies requires, as a condition of severance approval for all waterfront and non-waterfront limited service residential lots, the owner of the subject property to enter into an agreement with the Township to be registered against title to the lots 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.  Owners agree to indemnify the Township for any loss or damage. 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. Provisions in the Bylaw regulate the placement of future structures on the severed lot, including yard setbacks and building coverage. To recognize the private road access and frontage on a waterbody for the proposed new lot, the severed parcel, as a condition of consent, will be required to be rezoned from Rural (RU) to Limited Page 151 of 170 REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT Service Residential Waterfront (RLSW). The proposed new lot would meet the minimum lot area and frontage requirements for a single detached residential development. Agency Analysis and Comments Public Works Department – Comments were not required from Public Works as the proposed lot is located on a private road and will not require approval for a new entrance. KFL&A Public Health – In comments provided September 4, 2018 KFL&A Public Health indicated that they had no objection to the severance. Soil conditions on the retained lot will require additional suitable granular soil to construct a sewage disposal system.

Purpose of Application: Consent to create one new lot to be conveyed to the Nature Conservancy of Canada as part of the Loughborough Wilderness Conservation Lands Date of Hearing: September 13, 2018 Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and pending comments received approve application S-82-18-S for the creation of one new lot to be conveyed to the Nature Conservancy of Canada as part of the Loughborough Wilderness Conservation Lands Proposal 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. Background 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-11-17-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 re-applied for a consent application; this time, the applicant is for a severance because the parcel of land that is the benefitting lands has been merged to a neighbouring property.

Section 1.1.5.2 of the PPS permits limited 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 Page 166 of 170 REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT consent application will result in the creation of one new lot that will be conveyed to the Nature Conservancy of Canada as part of the Loughborough Wilderness conservation lands. The application will not result in a new lot suitable for development. 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 proposed lot will be conveyed to the Nature Conservancy of Canada to protect the natural heritage features. 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 7: Environmental Sustainability identifies significant natural areas that need to be protected and managed to form a basis for future land use decisions. A level of protection for the environment is required under Provincial policy to ensure development is sustainable to ensure a healthy and high quality of life for existing and future residents of the County. The section sets out policies that are intended to help ensure that the environment that is so valued by residents in Frontenac County can be maintained and enhanced for future generations, and the health of humans and of the environment is protected. Conveyance of the lands to the Nature Conservancy of Canada meets these objectives. 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 stated that the predominant use of land in the Rural designate shall be for agricultural, aquaculture, open space, conservation, limited service residential, recreational, community facility and rurally oriented non-farm residential and other commercial and industrial uses. The proposal is to create a new lot to be conveyed to the Nature Conservancy of Canada as part of the Loughborough Wilderness Conservation Lands. Included as an attachment to this report is a letter from Mr. Gary Bell the Program Director – Eastern Ontario for the Nature Conservancy of Canada confirming the intent to purchase the land. Section 5.7.4 Rural Residential Policies limits the number of residential lots that can be created through severance. It is important to note that no additional lands are being created for rural residential beyond the current lot; the proposed severed lot is not being created for residential purposes. Further, no additional development is proposed beyond the consent application previously granted provisional consent. 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 conservation. The proposed new lot will exceed the minimum lot area and frontage requirements for the conservation lands; the retained lot will meet the provisions for agricultural uses. Agency Analysis and Comments Public Comments – As of the time of writing, no comments have been received from the public. Nature Conservancy of Canada – Attached to this report is email correspondence provided by Mr. Gary Bell from the Nature Conservancy of Canada stating that the intent of the lands are for conservation as part of the Loughborough Wilderness lands.
