REPORT TO COUNCIL BUILDING DEPARTMENT
AGENDA DATE: March 14, 2017 SUBJECT Information with Regards to Changes to the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006
RECOMMENDATION Open
BACKGROUND To ensure safe properties in South Frontenac, we have a shared responsibility with the province. The province enforces the maintenance standards under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, and South Frontenac enforces the Safe Properties Bylaw 2007-13. The Residential Tenancies Act for maintenance standards applies to the interior of all rental units in the municipality. The safe properties bylaw, prescribes exterior maintenance standards for all properties in the municipality with regards to yards and exteriors of buildings. Enforcement of the Safe Properties bylaw is through, Frontenac Municipal Bylaw Enforcement Services. As of July 1st, 2018, The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and housing will no longer be enforcing the maintenance standards contained in the Residential Tenancies Act. In an e-mail to all clerks, the Ministry advised of this upcoming change and provided data indicating the reliance of different municipalities upon the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing to enforce the Maintenance standards in the Residential Tenancies Act. Investigations carried out by the Ministry are listed below for the Township of South Frontenac as well as several surrounding municipalities.

2013/14 0 3 1 3 0
2014/15 0 3 6 0 2
2015/16 0 6 9 1 2
It is recommended that the Safe Properties Bylaw remains in effect and standalone, and that one of the following additional options be selected to meet the municipal obligations for property standards: Option 1 The first option would be the default, to implement enforcement of the maintenance standards contained in the Residential Tenancies Act starting July 1, 2018. The process would be similar to the current practice now employed and enforcement would be through Frontenac Bylaw Enforcement Services. The enforcement of the maintenance standards would be governed by the Residential Tenancies Act. A written complaint would be received, and an inspection would be required. A Bylaw Enforcement Officer could make an order to the landlord to remedy the infraction. Appeal of any order can be made under the Residential Tenancies act within 20 days of the issuance of an Order, and would be heard by the Landlord Tennant Tribunal.
Our strength is our community.

REPORT TO COUNCIL BUILDING DEPARTMENT
This approach would apply only to residential rental buildings, and would allow only current tenants to file complaints. Option 1A Is the same as Option 1, however enforcement would be by a Building Inspector. This approach would consume time normally dedicated to servicing builders and residents. It is also anticipated that this would cost more than having the service contracted to bylaw enforcement services. Option 2 The BCA 1992 provides authority for Municipalities to create and adopt a standalone property standards by-law that include items currently encompassed in the Ministry maintenance standards currently contained in the residential tenancies act for the maintenance of rental building interiors. Enforcement could be by contract through Frontenac Bylaw Enforcement, or internal through the Building Department. This approach would be enforced under section 15 of the Building Code Act and would apply to all properties in the Township. Typically enforcement requires a written and signed complaint for the Township to act upon. First steps in enforcement are to ensure communication between landlords and tenants (in the case of residential tenancies) or between the complainant and contravener. Enforcement would then take the typical route that current Building Code infractions follow by an Order being issued with a compliance date. Should the Order not be complied with upon re-inspection, a summons to Provincial Offences Court would be issued and a court order would be sought. Should the court order not be complied with, then the Township could remedy the problem and have the costs to repair placed as a priority lien on the property. Appeal of any order issued under the Building Code Act within 14 days of issuance, would be heard by a newly appointed Property Standards Committee within the township. Should the contravener choose, the decision of the committee could then be appealed to Superior Court. The advantage to this option is that the Building Code Act provides for broad powers and flexibility of enforcement, as well as more expedient timelines than the Residential Tenancies Act. In addition, a property standards bylaw allows for a broader range building/property types for application of enforcement. (not just residential rentals)
FINANCIAL and STAFFING CONSIDERATIONS The Ministry currently charges the municipality $265.00/inspection to enforce the Residential Maintenance Standards. In 2016 the municipality paid $3,445.00 to the province for enforcement. Frontenac Bylaw Enforcement currently is under contract to enforce a number of the Township’s bylaws including the safe properties bylaw and enforcement of the new property standards bylaw would be a natural extension. Enforcement through the Building Department will require further review into training requirements, and potential job evaluation outcomes.

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AGENDA DATE: March 14, 2017 SUBJECT: Zoning to Permit and Regulate Outdoor Furnaces
RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Committee receive for information the Planning Report dated March 9, 2017, with an attached draft zoning by-law amendment to permit and regulate ‘outdoor solid fuel combustion appliances’ (outdoor furnaces) and consider the by-law for passage at Council.
BACKGROUND At the Council meeting of February 21, 2017 Council directed the Planning Department to bring forward a draft by-law to regulate outdoor solid fuel combustion appliances for review and adoption. The Building Department was also directed to create a permit system similar to the wood stove permit system. Accordingly, two draft by-laws are attached hereto for review to permit and regulate these applicances. As background for discussion, in June of 2007, Council considered a report from the Planning Department which recommended approval of a zoning by-law amendment that would regulate the placement of outdoor solid fuel combustion appliances in the Township. However, Council determined that the by-law should not be passed because more discussion was needed on the regulations. Later, on January 17, 2012, the matter was brought to the Committee of the Whole where, after discussion, no consensus was reached on whether to regulate this use. Outdoor solid fuel combustion appliances are used as a heating source for homes and other commercial or industrial buildings. The Planning report of June 2007 included an amending by-law which defined an outdoor furnace as follows: “OUTDOOR SOLID FUEL COMBUSTION APPLIANCE” (commonly called an outdoor furnace) shall mean an accessory stand-alone building or structure that operates as a heat source for domestic heat and/or hot water for associated buildings on the same parcel. Attachment #1 is a description of a typical outdoor furnace. The 2007 report had been brought forward because of concerns that too many such furnaces were locating in built-up areas where their emissions were affecting residents nearby. Property-owners expressed fears that no one knew what was being burned in the furnaces and that some of the material may be toxic – affecting the health of them and their children. Thus, by regulating their use, the Township could at least require future proposed furnaces to locate in rural areas away from concentrated residential development. The amending by-law proposed the following regulations: “ Notwithstanding any other provision of this By-law to the contrary, an outdoor solid fuel combustion appliance (outdoor furnace) shall only be permitted in an Agricultural (A) Zone, Rural (RU) Zone, Rural Industrial (RI) Zone or Rural Commercial (RC) Zone and shall comply with the following regulations: i) ii) iii)
setback from any lot line (Minimum) 61 metres (200 ft.) setback from any other accessory building (Minimum) 3 metres (10 ft.) setback from any trees (Minimum) 3 metres (10 ft.)
Page 8 of 61 iv) v) vi)
Installation shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions and shall require a building permit. Location shall not be in the front yard. Only the fuel approved by the manufacturer’s operation instructions shall be used and in no case shall garbage, oils, rubber, plastics, oil-soaked or treated products be used as fuel nor shall any other material deemed by the MOECC to be inappropriate be permitted.
It should be noted that there was discussion at the previous meetings to add the following restriction: “The operation of outdoor furnaces is prohibited between May 1 and October 1 of a year.” However, Planning staff are of the opinion that it may not be practical to prohibit the use in the summer months since some residents heat their water and swimming pools with outdoor furnaces during these months. The Committee should also consider whether to permit their use during a fire ban and whether more than one such appliance should be permitted on a lot. For the Committee’s reference some examples of other municipality’s regulations for outdoor solid fuel combustion appliances are attached hereto as Attachment #2. The attached draft zoning by-law amendment incorporates the above described definition and permits the use of outdoor solid fuel combustion appliances and the attached regulation by-law incorporates rules and regulations for their use. FINANCIAL and STAFFING CONSIDERATIONS Staff time will be required for future regulation and enforcement.

[How The Aspen Series Works l
s
The Aspen uses a process called wood gasificajion to produce highly efficient combustion in the furnace’s dual burn chambers
l) Wood in the firebox burns from the boffom up, drying the top layer of wooa in the firebox and forcing gases and exhaust into the lower burn chamber.
- In the brick-lined lower chamber, these volatile gases are burned at temperatures as high as 2000o F (1 093o C). The fire-brick lining in both burn chambers absorbs the heat and maintains
burn chamber temperatures for consistent gas
combustion. This high-temperature gas combustion significantly Iowers emissions, prevents creosote buildup, and minimizes ash buildup in the unit.

THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH FRONTENAC _______________________________ Ron Vandewal, Mayor ______________________________ Wayne Orr, Clerk-Administrator Page 21 of 61 REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AGENDA DATE: March 14, 2017 SUBJECT: Review: ‘Promoting Affordable Housing Act, 2016’ _____________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Committee receive for information the Planning Report dated March 6, 2017, regarding a review of the province’s ‘Promoting Affordable Housing Act 2016’. BACKGROUND Under Bill 204, the province issued new legislation termed the “Promoting Affordable Housing Act, 2016”. The Bill received Royal Assent on December 8, 2016 and is still awaiting proclamation. The Act amends the Planning Act; the Development Charges Act, 1997; the Housing Services Act, 2011; and the Residential Tenancies Act 2006. The effects of the amendments are described as follows as they relate to the Township of South Frontenac. Under the new Act, Official Plans must contain policies relating to inclusionary zoning for affordable housing. This would help to serve more people in need of housing by increasing the supply of affordable residential units based on local needs. When the new Act is proclaimed, the Planning Act will be amended to give municipalities the option of requiring affordable housing units as part of residential development applications. Note that these regulations are not fully developed yet and the province plans to consult on a proposed regulation for inclusionary zoning before the Planning Act amendments are proclaimed. In summary, the inclusionary zoning will provide that: • A municipal assessment report is to be prepared leading to policies for inclusionary zoning in the Official Plan. These must be reviewed every five years, • Once policies are included in the Official Plan, the zoning by-law must be amended accordingly. It should be noted that, except for certain rules for height of buildings, any inclusionary zoning by-law amendment cannot be appealed, • Landowners must enter into agreements with the municipality that are to be registered on title and enforceable against subsequent owners to ensure that the units remain affordable over time, • Municipalities must establish procedures for the administration of affordable housing units so that they remain affordable over the long term and for reporting on affordable housing units. In addition to the above, the inclusionary zoning will have provisions for large multi-unit residential developments to allow the affordable units to be located on another site (subject to certain criteria) and to permit a form of density bonussing in exchange for community benefits. It is emphasized that in no case shall cashin-lieu of affordable housing be accepted. Page 22 of 61 Of particular interest to South Frontenac is that the new legislation will include initiatives to support the creation of secondary suites in single detached dwellings. The basis for this is the province’s recognition that secondary suites are a potential source of affordable rental housing and a source of revenue for homeowners. Attachment #1 lists examples of how new Official Plan policies might read. However, for municipalities like South Frontenac which are mostly unserviced with municipal water and sewer, it must be recognized that individual lot servicing would need to adequately support any extra demand from additional living units. There are other considerations as well. For example, approval of an additional household in an existing single detached dwelling would need to consider the adequacy of: • the septic system - KFL&A Public Health would need to approve, • the water supply - well records would need to be examined or the well tested, • vehicle parking - there should be enough room on the subject property for off-street parking of all vehicles (not in the front yard) ie., the character of the streetscape should not be adversely affected, • the appropriateness of the building- the new dwelling unit would need to meet all building and fire codes. Policies to address all of the above items will need to be included into the Official Plan and provisions put into the Comprehensive Zoning By-law. In drafting these regulations for South Frontenac, Council should consider whether they should be permitted in an existing principal building that is located within the 30 metre setback from a waterbody. Also, Council may wish to prohibit them from locating on any private lane where emergency responders may have more difficulty in providing service. In addition, new policies should restrict the size of a secondary dwelling to perhaps forty percent of the gross floor area of the existing principal building so that the second unit does not become the dominant use of the building or lot. The Promoting Affordable Housing Act also would change the provisions of a number of other Acts as reviewed below. The Development Charges Act, 1997 would be amended to prohibit municipalities from imposing development charges on new secondary suites. The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 would be amended to require a local municipality to monitor compliance with prescribed maintenance standards as they apply to multi-unit residential complexes. Inspectors may be appointed to act on complaints from tenants. The Housing Services Act, 2011 would be amended to provide that an enumeration of persons who are homeless shall be conducted by service managers at times and in a manner that will be directed by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. As noted above, the province is still undertaking consultation in developing the inclusionary zoning and Official Plan policies. It is expected that new information will be presented soon on how and when these new policies regarding affordable housing will be implemented. Page 23 of 61 FINANCIAL and STAFFING CONSIDERATIONS Staff time will be required to review new legislation, prepare policies and draft zoning by-laws. Also public meetings are required. Over the longer term more administration and monitoring tasks will result requiring additional full-time staff. ATTACHMENTS Attachment #1 – shows possible Official Plan policies.

Garden suites are intended as housing for those who are generally capable of living independently but who, by virtue of their age or a disability, require the support of others to live on their own. The Plan shall allow the establishment of a garden suite on any lot upon which a single detached dwelling is a permitted use subject to a site-specific temporary l use Zoning By-Iaw amendment. The Planning Act enables a Municipality to enact a temporary use by-law to permit a garden suite for a period of up to 4Q-20 years with subsequent renewals as necessary and, together with the Municipal Act, allows a Municipality to enter into an agreement respecting: * * * the installation, maintenance and removal of the garden suite. the period of occupancy by the person(s) named in the agreement. a monetary or other form of security related to the garden suite. In considering a request to establish a garden suite, the proponent shall: @ * * * demonstrate that the increased intensity of use can be addressed in the proposal; demonstrate compliance to the Ontario Building and Fire Codes: demonstrate that there will be no adverse impacts on adjacent Iand uses (i.e., drainage, access for fire protection, sun shadow, existing infrastructure capacities, etc.); demonstrate compliance with applicable zoning standards for lot size, setbacks and parking; ?ow the external appearance will complement the principal residential dwe'l l 1 1 .3.3.2 Second Urii?s Second Units (also known as acce)sory apar!ments, basement apar!ments or %aw suites) are self-contained "d&elling units" often with a separate entrance, loc'? within, and subordinatgJ6, an existing single detached dwelling,B? detach'?welling, or tow?se dwellinq unit, that contains its own separate l l cooking and ?- cilities in addition to the usual living quarters.

BACKGROUND: A resident of the Township is requesting to know whether Council would consider selling to him land that was dedicated as parkland as part of a residential subdivision development. Attachment #1 is a map showing the location of subject land. The land is 4.77 acres in size and is characterized as being vacant scrubland. It slopes sharply down on its northwest side where there is some mature tree cover. The land was dedicated to the Township as part of the Silverwood Estates Subdivision in 1978 as parkland and has remained vacant since then. The Committee should note that a Township-owned park already exists in the vicinity of the subject property less than a kilometre away in the Heska subdivision. FINANCIAL and STAFFING CONSIDERATIONS: The funds received from the sale of the land must be put into the Township parkland reserve. ATTACHMENTS: Attachment #1 – shows the location of the subject property in relation to the existing park nearby.

Page 30 of 61 Report to Council on Proposed repairs to the Fermoy Hall Recommendation: That the Committee of the Whole considers the proposed work planned for the Fermoy Hall by the citizen committee. Direction from Council is requested for the scope of work and confirms what funds are to be released to carry out the work. . Background: Councillor Barr and I arranged a meeting for interested community members in the Fermoy area to see what interest there was in using the Fermoy Hall for a range of activities. There was a good attendance at a first meeting and a committee of volunteers formed to explore what might be needed to make the hall safe and inviting for meeting space. Councillor Barr and I have sat in on the meetings as a resource for the group Council will recall that $30,000 had been part of the 2016 budget for work on the hall however there was a hold placed on the funds until a plan could be brought forward outlining the type of renovations that were under consideration and that could have approval from Council. The community committee made a presentation to Council in October to outline the extent of the work and received general approval from Council to move forward based on rough estimates. Basic electrical work was undertaken in January to upgrade wiring in the attic and exterior lighting for safety concerns but as warmer weather approaches, there is an opportunity to move forward with other work. Community members have considered some basic upgrades to the Hall: what follows is a summary of tasks. Wiring- a request had been made to provide 2 ceiling fans that would facilitate summer comfort levels. There are 7-8 windows in the building with screens and placement of fans in the windows could be an option. It is now most likely to purchase 4 new ceiling light fixtures rather than attempt to repair the existing fixtures and find globes. Plaster repair- there are several small holes in the walls and a larger ceiling hole that should be "patched" as well as an area where the plaster finish appears to be deteriorated around the area where the chimney has leaked over the years. Some contractors who did plastering were approached and offered a range of options including an overcoat of the existing surfaces once repairs had been completed. Floors- the main floor and the stage floor appear to be good wood but due to past use need to be sanded and urethaned. Painting- Once walls and ceilings have been repaired. the building needs to be painted. Page 31 of 61 The community group expects by making these upgrades to the building that it can function as a community hall with a variety of users on a seasonal basis from mid-May to Thanksgiving. It is their hope to evaluate the extent of community interest over a couple of years. To support the proposed use the group is requesting an identifying sign for the site, installation of 2 portable washrooms (with servicing), a water cooler, installation of WI-FI and internet (minor cost for off season suspension), window blinds, 10 tables & 70 chairs. Financial & Staff implicationsBased on estimates received to date by the community group and the extent of wall & ceiling repair, it is estimated that renovation and purchase of tables etc. should fall within an additional $20,000 (noting that some electrical work has been completed). There is more than $26,000 remaining in the budgeted line. There will be some time required from Public Works to obtain competitive quotes as necessary and to monitor the work as it progresses.
