REPORT TO COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
Public Meeting Report – Zoning By-law Amendment Report Date:
October 27, 2020
Application No: Owners: Location of Property:
Z-20-07 Carl and Joan Sortberg 3412 Vanluven Road, Part of Lots 1 and 2, Concession 8, District of Portland, Township of South Frontenac Purpose of Application: Rezone from Rural (RU) to Rural – Special Provision (RU59) Date of Public Meeting: November 3, 2020 (Virtual Public Meeting)
Recommendation It is recommended that South Frontenac Council receive comments from the public and pending comments received, direct staff to prepare a by-law to rezone the subject lands from Rural (RU) to Rural – Special Provision (RU-59) to require a minimum 40 metre setback from the front lot line for any sewage system.
Proposal An application has been submitted to amend the Township of South Frontenac Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2003-75 to rezone the subject property from Rural (RU) to Rural – Special Provision (RU-59).
Background The subject lands are subject to consent applications S-16-20-P and S-17-20-P to create two residential parcels on New Morin Road. Provisional approval of these applications was granted subject to conditions on September 15, 2020. Condition 12 of the provisional approval requires these lands to be rezoned to establish a setback for the sewage systems that will service these two new lots to ensure the sewage systems are located on the properties in such a way that the sewage effluent drains away from Knowlton Lake. The new residential parcels are located on the north side of Vanluven Road and to the west of New Morin Road. Knowlton Lake is located on the east side of New Morin Road. Knowlton Lake is classified as an at-capacity lake trout lake. Attachment 1 to this report shows the location of the subject lands that are subject to the rezoning application. The RU-59 zone would require a minimum 40 metre setback from the front lot line for any sewage system. This distance reflects a drainage divide between the Wilton Creek watershed and the Knowlton Lake subwatershed. Any sewage systems on the parcels need to be located on land in the Wilton Creek watershed. Attachment 2 to this report is a draft by-law that specifies this zoning provision.

REPORT TO COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
Agency and Public Comments Comments from agencies and the public are summarized in this section of this report. Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) had no objection to the approval of consent applications S-16-20-P and S-17-20-P on the understanding that subsurface sewage systems are to be located in another watershed other than that of Knowlton Lake which is “at capacity” for development. MECP staff indicated on October 16, 2020, that they have no further concerns regarding this file. Cataraqui Conservation Cataraqui Conservation staff had no objection to the approval of consent applications S16-20-P and S-17-20-P. Staff indicated on October 23, 2020, that they are satisfied the proposed rezoning satisfies the intent of the Official Plan policies about highly sensitive (at-capacity) lake trout lakes. KFL&A Public Health KFL&A Public Health had no objections to the approval of consent applications S-16-20P and the related condition requiring a minimum 40 metre setback from the front lot line for any sewage system. KFL&A Public Health identified areas on each lot, at least 40 metres from the front lot line, that must be reserved for a sewage system to be installed that meets Ontario Building Code requirements. Public Comments At the time of writing, no formal comments have been received from the public. The intent of the public meeting is to receive comments from the public. Under the Planning Act, a public meeting is required to be held to receive comments from citizens on the proposed rezoning. The province has provided direction that public meetings are able to be held virtually using technology such as Zoom to obtain public input on planning applications. The public meeting for application Z-20-07 will be a virtual public meeting.
Planning Analysis Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 The Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development. Section 3 of the Planning Act requires that Council decisions be “consistent with” the PPS.
“Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive Rural Leader” 2
Page 7 of 83
REPORT TO COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
The PPS allows growth and development to be directed to rural lands, including residential lot creation and development that is compatible with the rural landscape (section 1.1.5). However, section 2.2.2 restricts development and site alteration near sensitive surface water features such that these features and their related hydrologic functions will be protected, improved or restored. At-capacity lake trout lakes are sensitive surface water features. The proposed development is consistent with these directions of the PPS. County of Frontenac Official Plan, 2016 The County of Frontenac Official Plan sets out the general direction for planning and development by defining strategic goals, broad objectives and policies. Section 3 – Growth Management sets outs policies intended to help guide new development across the County as well as manage change at a regional level. The Rural Lands policies are meant to recognize the importance of rural areas for future growth and create guidelines for development that is sensitive to the surroundings. The County Official Plan recognizes the importance of lake trout lakes, prohibiting lot creation within 300 metres of at-capacity lake trout lakes. It defers to the Township Official Plan for exceptions to this policy. The proposed development is consistent with the direction of the County Official Plan. Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, 2003 The zoning by-law amendment would support the Township Official Plan policies on new lot creation within 300 metres of an at-capacity lake trout lake. In accordance with the County Official Plan, section 5.2.8 (a) of the Township Official Plan does not allow the creation of new lots within 300 metres of a highly sensitive (atcapacity) lake trout lake due to the potential to further degrade the water quality necessary to maintain a healthy lake trout population. Section 5.2.8 (a) also specifies special or unique circumstances where Council may consider the creation of new lots within 300 metres of an at-capacity lake trout lake, in consultation with the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Natural Resources. One of these circumstances is where the drainage of the proposed lot flows to a separate, non-sensitive, watershed as a result of existing topographical or physical features. The subject lands are located within 300 metres of Knowlton Lake, which is an atcapacity lake trout lake. However, the lands are also on a drainage divide between the Wilton Creek watershed and the Knowlton Lake subwatershed. The Wilton Creek watershed is a separate, non-sensitive, watershed. The drainage divide is approximately 250 metres from Knowlton Lake, or approximately 40 metres west of the front lot line of the parcels. The site-specific zoning will require any sewage systems on the parcels to be located on land in the Wilton Creek watershed.

REPORT TO COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
Conclusion It is the author’s opinion that this application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, the County of Frontenac Official Plan and the South Frontenac Official Plan, and that it represents appropriate planning for the subject lands. Consistent with Council’s procedural by-law, it is recommended that South Frontenac Council receive comments from the public and pending comments received direct staff to prepare a by-law to rezone the subject lands from Rural (RU) to Rural – Special Provision (RU-59). The distance of the drainage divide from the front lot line must be confirmed by an Ontario Land Surveyor, and the minimum setback revised as needed, before Council will be asked to pass a by-law related to application Z-20-07.

Purpose of Application: Rezone from Rural (RU) to Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW) Date of Public Meeting: November 3, 2020 (Virtual Public Meeting)
Recommendation It is recommended that South Frontenac Council receive comments from the public and pending comments received, direct staff to prepare a by-law to rezone the subject lands from Rural (RU) to Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW) in order to enable development on waterfront properties that are accessed by a private lane.
Proposal An application has been submitted to amend the Township of South Frontenac Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2003-75 to rezone the subject properties from Rural (RU) to Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW).
Background The subject properties all have frontage on Pine Point Lane, at the end of Carrying Place Road. They also have frontage on Dog Lake. Attachment 1 to this report shows the location of the properties subject to this rezoning. Five of the properties were created through consent approvals in 2014 (files S-57-14-S and S-58-14-S and the retained parcel, S-69-14-S and S-70-14-S). The sixth property, “Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive Rural Leader” 1
Page 22 of 83
REPORT TO COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
north of the road allowance, was a separate parcel. At the time of consent approvals, the zoning on these lands was not changed to reflect the parcel frontages on a private lane. A zoning by-law amendment to change the zone on the subject properties from RU to RLSW is required so that building permits can be issued for buildings and structures. Section 5.25 of the Zoning By-law prohibits the erection of buildings and structures in any zone unless the lot fronts onto a public street. Building permits may be issued on a lot with frontage on a private lane and/or a navigable waterway if the lands are zoned RLSW. Attachment 2 to this report is a draft by-law.
Agency and Public Comments Comments from agencies and the public are summarized in this section of this report. Cataraqui Conservation & KFL&A Public Health Cataraqui Conservation and KLF&A Public Health confirmed that they did not need to be circulated the rezoning application. These agencies had no objections to the approval of the 2014 consent applications that resulted in the created the subject properties. They were satisfied at that time that the properties contained building envelopes at least 30 metres from the highwater mark and outside natural hazards, and would be capable of providing flexibility in siting sewage disposal systems. Parks Canada – Rideau Canal Office Parks Canada staff indicated on October 19, 2020, that they have no concerns if the 30 metre UNESCO buffer will not be impacted as a result of the application. Public Comments Mike McCall (246 Pine Point Lane) requested that his property also be rezoned from Rural to Limited Service Residential – Waterfront as his property is part of the development. Under the Planning Act, a public meeting is required to be held to receive comments from citizens on the proposed rezoning. The province has provided direction that public meetings are able to be held virtually using technology such as Zoom to obtain public input on planning applications. The public meeting for application Z-20-11 will be a virtual public meeting. Further public comments may be provided through the virtual public meeting.

REPORT TO COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
Planning Analysis Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 The Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development. Section 3 of the Planning Act requires that Council decisions be “consistent with” the PPS. The PPS encourages efficient land use and development patterns to create and maintain strong communities and a healthy environment while encouraging economic growth over the long-term. It recognizes that rural areas are important to the economic success of the Province and our quality of life. To this end, section 1.1.4 states, among other things, that we should build on the rural character of the Township and leverage rural amenities and assets, and encourage redevelopment of existing rural housing stock on rural lands. The proposal is consistent with this direction of the PPS. County of Frontenac Official Plan, 2016 The County of Frontenac Official Plan sets out the general direction for planning and development by defining strategic goals, broad objectives and policies. Section 3 – Growth Management sets outs policies intended to help guide new development across the County as well as manage change at a regional level. The Rural Lands policies are meant to recognize the importance of rural areas for future growth and create guidelines for development that is sensitive to the surroundings. The proposal is consistent with the direction of the County Official Plan. Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, 2003 The subject lands are designated ‘Rural’ in the Official Plan on Schedule A. The type and amount of development on ‘Rural’ lands must maintain the rural character, natural heritage, and cultural landscape in the Township. The zoning by-law amendment would be consistent with the Official Plan policies on limited service residential development. The limited service residential policies allow the development of properties with frontage on a private road and frontage on a navigable waterway for single detached dwellings and seasonal dwellings that are serviced by private water and sewage systems.
Conclusion It is the author’s opinion that this application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, the County of Frontenac Official Plan and the South Frontenac Official Plan, and that it represents appropriate planning for the subject lands. Consistent with Council’s procedural by-law, it is recommended that South Frontenac Council receive comments from the public and pending comments received direct staff to prepare a by-law to rezone the subject lands from Rural (RU) to Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW). “Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive Rural Leader” 3

REPORT TO COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
It is also the author’s opinion that it would be appropriate for Council to use its authority under section 34(17) of the Planning Act to establish the RLSW zone on 154 Pine Point Lane and 246 Pine Point Lane through the same by-law. These two parcels were created at the same time and through the same process as the subject parcels, and are part of the Pine Point Lane neighbourhood. 154 Pine Point Lane was created through consent application S-56-14-L, while 246 Pine Point Lane is the retained parcel from consent applications S-69-14-S and S-70-14-S.

Delegations
a)
Meela Melnik-Proud, re: Johnston Point Plan of Condominium Ms. Melnik-Proud spoke to her presentation that had been circulated to Council via email just prior to the meeting. She referenced the 8 reasons outlined in her submission that she felt Council should have opportunity to consider prior to making a decision. A copy of this will be included in the October 20, 2020 Council Agenda as an information item.
b)
Matt Rennie, re: Johnston Point Plan of Condominium Mr. Rennie acknowledged that Council was able to look at the unredacted version of the Benefit Permit for Johnston Point in closed session. He felt that there had not been enough time for Council to review the document and make a decision further on in the meeting. While he expressed confidence in the Development Services staff, he felt that Council deserve to be fully informed and have adequate time to process. He
Page 2 of 8
Page 42 of 83 Minutes of Council October, 6, 2020 questioned the access to the “unredacted” version of the benefit permit to potential purchasers as well as township staff when elected officials are unable to see the document. He stated that it is Council’s job to approve the agreement but that they should have had all the information. He urged Council to resist the pressure of approving the agreement and to allow themselves more time to receive more information on this implications this development will have on species at risk. Mr. Rennie spoke directly to line 56 of the formal order issued in 2016 with respect to difficulty in implementing any of the conditions the the draft plan that the board can be spoken to directly and he felt this was a reason to do so. He felt that incorporating the Environmental Benefit into the draft plan was cause for Council to do so. He referenced the statement from Gordon Miller, the Environmental Commissioner for Ontario and the collective impacts of species at risk due to this type of development. This peninsula of Loughborough Lake is a unique piece of natural heritage land that should be protected from development and he felt the OMB requirement cannot be satisfied in its present status. 9.

Question of Clarity (from the public on outcome of agenda items)
a)
Matt Rennie questioned the legalities of township staff going onsite until both owners of the Johnston Point Plan of Condominium have signed the agreement. Claire Dodds explained that the second owner will be required to sign before the Mayor and Clerk do so. With regard to the enforcement of the terms of the agreement, the second owner will have to sign the agreement before any action can be taken. The Environmental Benefit Permit is in effect regardless; violations can be referred to the Ministry of the Environment through the the Endangered Species Act.
b)
Meela Melnik-Proud asked for clarity on the implications of the Benefit Permit and not being able to specifically talk about the Johnston Point Development. previously when Council had asked for this information. She wondered if these restrictions no longer apply. Claire Dodds confirmed that it was highly unlikely that they will discuss the permit with a member of the public or township staff, but they do have an enforcement process to follow up on matters. This does not mean that township staff or a member of the public are advised of the outcome of their investigation under the Endangered Species Act. Ms. Melnik-Proud questioned the access to technical expertise from the Ministry of the Environment and Conservation.

SUBJECT:
By-law for Shield Shores Condominium Private Lane Names
Recommendation THAT By-law 2020-60 to approve the naming of two new private lanes and two existing rights-of-way to Shield Shores Lane, Glacier Lane, Bird Haven Lane and Briscoe Bay Lane in Part of Lots 15, 16 & 17, Concession 9, District of Storrington be passed.
Background South Frontenac Council held a virtual public meeting on October 6, 2020, to provide members of the public an opportunity to provide input to Council’s intention to pass a bylaw naming two private lanes and two existing rights-of-way associated with the Shield Shores Plan of Vacant Land Condominium. Notice of this meeting was provided in accordance with By-law 2002-92, as amended by By-law No. 2002-100. The proposed lane names are Shield Shores Lane, Glacier Lane, Bird Haven Lane and Briscoe Bay Lane. During the public meeting, Councillor Sleeth indicated that the lane names are appropriate, especially the two names that reflect long-time landowners affected by this decision. Leanne Briscoe, a landowner on one of the existing rights-of-way indicated that she is satisfied with suggested names. No public objections were received prior to or during the public meeting to consider the proposed road names.
Summary Having received no objection to the proposed road names, and having held a statutory public meeting, staff recommend that By-law 2020-60 be passed. By-law 2020-60 is listed on the Council agenda under By-laws.

SUBJECT:
Appointment of Deputy Chief Building Official
RECOMMENDATION: That By-law 2020-61 being a By-law to appoint a Deputy Chief Building Official be approved by Council. BACKGROUND: In June of 2020 Council approved the creation of a Deputy Chief Building Official position within the Development Services Department. This position was intended to address increasing workloads largely associated with the assumption of Part 8 services from KFL&A Public Health, and to support succession planning within the department. ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: In early October 2020, Rebecca Roy was hired as the Township’s new Deputy CBO. Rebecca brings over 10 years experience as a building official in Eastern Ontario including time as a Deputy CBO with the Town of Greater Napanee. In accordance with the Ontario Building Code Act (OBCA), a By-law is required to formally appoint Rebecca to the position in order to grant her the powers of the CBO in their absence.

SUBJECT:
PS-2020-24 Installation of Centennial Park Multipurpose Facility
RECOMMENDATION: That Council accept the bid from Wemp & Smith Construction in the amount of $140,000.00, excluding HST, for the installation of a Multipurpose Facility at Centennial Park; and, That Council approve the reallocation of $20,000 in Capital Funds from the Storrington Centre Renovations for this project. BACKGROUND In December of 2019, Council approved the 2020 non-linear capital budget which included a $100,000 allocation to a new multi-purpose Facility in Centennial Park subject to the receipt of further detail about the design and potential uses for the facility. In January 2020, Staff presented Council with additional information on the proposed facility including a commitment from the South Frontenac Stocksport Club to raise $15,000 to help offset the cost of the project. As a result, Council released the hold on the project subject to receipt of that donation. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: A tender for the Multi-purpose facility at Centennial Park was issued on September 22, 2020 on Biddingo as well as advertised on the Township website and in the local newspaper. The Tender closed on October 14th with the following two bidders:
CONTRACTOR
Price excluding HST
Wemp & Smith Construction Ltd.
$140,000.00
Kiley Paving Ltd.
$240,000.00
Since the low bid from Wemp & Smith is $40,000 over the project budget, staff considered alternative means of completing the project including cancelling the tender and retendering in 2021 and the reallocation of unspent funds from other projects. However, earlier this month, an additional anonymous donation in the amount of $20,000 was made towards the project, reducing the overage to $20,000. Based on material prices and the availability of labour due to supply chain and other issues resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, staff feels that reduced pricing is unlikely if the project was retendered in 2021. As a result, staff is recommending that the project proceed with a reallocation of $20,000 from the completed Storrington Centre renovation project. Wemp & Smith is a reputable contractor and has provided excellent services to the Township in the past.

REPORT TO COUNCIL PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The original project budget of $100,000 was funded by the Stocksport Club donation ($15,000), with the balance coming from Development Charges ($85,000). An additional $20,000 anonymous donation has been received for the project. With a tender price of $140,000, an unfunded balance of $20,000 remains for the project. An amount of $48,000 remains from the completed Storrington Centre Renovations which was being funded from the Parkland Reserve. Staff is recommending that $20,000 of this funding be reallocated to cover the unfunded portion of the Centennial Park Multipurpose Facility.

Recreation, Parks and Leisure Master Plan
RECOMMENDATION That Council approve awarding of RFP# PS-P02-2020 Recreation, Parks and Leisure Master Plan to thinc design in the amount of $58,545; and, That Council approve an increase to the budget for the Recreation, Parks and Leisure Master Plan of $28,545 to cover the additional cost for the project, to be funded from Development Charges. BACKGROUND: As part of the 2020 Budget Council had approved $30,000 to hire a consultant for a comprehensive review of all recreation and leisure services within the Township and development of a multi-year Recreation, Parks and Leisure Master Plan. The Township of South Frontenac is seeking a creative and innovative approach to the Recreation, Parks and Leisure Master Plan. The outcome must be a clear action plan to lead the Township in the development of future recreational and leisure infrastructure and services with a demand driven approach to integrated parks and recreation planning that aligns with Council’s strategic priorities. The Recreation, Parks and Leisure Master Plan will provide the Township with the necessary framework to manage its parks, open spaces, programs, events, facilities, and amenities, to support municipal requests during development agreements, to inform annual budget priorities, and to support future grant applications, with consistency and evidence-based approaches. The original scope and deliverables of the project increased somewhat through discussion with both the Recreation & Leisure Facilities and the Program & Events Committee, Also during preparation of the request for proposal it was felt that the impacts of the current COVID 19 Pandemic should be a consideration when creating such a plan, hence some deliverables were added to reflect this. ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: The Township received five (5) submissions to the Request for Proposals from very reputable and experienced companies. A Committee comprised of Township Staff and the Chairs of the two Recreation Committees reviewed and scored the Request for Proposals as per the evaluation criteria in the RFP. Proposals were ranked on: 1) Applicable expertise and resources, 2) methodology/understanding of the requirements, 3) overall quality of proposal, 4) references, and 5) budget. The firms’ approach to public engagement during COVID-19 was discussed at length as part of this process. With the expanded scope it was anticipated that the budget for the project may no longer be adequate to complete a comprehensive plan. This was also identified by many of the Consulting firms that submitted proposals – All submitted either scaled down services to meet our budget or included additional options/task with added fees.

thinc design is a very reputable company that specialize in these types of consulting services and ranked the highest during the evaluation process. They have a great understanding and experience with Rural Communities and have dedicated 509 hours to this project, whereas other submissions ranged from 200-280 hours. They have met all the Request for Proposal requirements and references provided have been contacted. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The total submission price from thinc design is $58,545 + HST which is $28,545 over the $30,000 original budget. Based on the increased scope of work and the fact that the majority of bids exceeded the budget, staff recommends awarding the Recreation, Parks and Leisure Master Plan to thinc design, and to fund the additional project cost from development charges.

REPORT TO COUNCIL Office of the Chief Administrative Officer AGENDA DATE:
November 3rd, 2020
SUBJECT:
Delivery of Part 8 On-site Sewage System Services for Frontenac Municipalities
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve in-principle South Frontenac’s delivery of services under Part 8 (On-site Sewage Systems) of the Ontario Building Code on behalf of the other Frontenac lower tier municipalities beginning in 2021; and That Council authorize staff to negotiate the required agreement(s) to implement this service, to be brought forward to Council for approval; and That staff be directed to recruit for a Part 8 Specialist with the understanding that hiring for this position is subject to entering into an agreement with the other Frontenac lower tier municipalities for South Frontenac’s delivery of Part 8 Services. BACKGROUND: In January of this year, Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington (KFL&A) Public Health provided notification of their intent to terminate their agreements with area municipalities to carry out their responsibilities for sewage systems under the Ontario Building Code Act (OBC) and associated regulations effective January 1, 2021. In response to this notice, Township Council approved the delivery of Part 8 On-site Sewage System services in 2021 using in-house resources. Due to the additional permit volume and specialized expertise and qualifications required to deliver this service, Council approved the creation of a Deputy Chief Building Official (DCBO) position and staff arranged for additional training and support resources to ensure a smooth transition of this service from Public Health to the Township at year’s end. Over the past few months, Township staff have had discussions with the other Frontenac CAOs regarding the delivery of Part 8 services within their jurisdictions. Due to the volume of Part 8 work in the other Townships and the current labour market for qualified staff, the hiring of permanent staff in each municipality would not be feasible; however, the total workload would support the hiring of a single inspector. Given South Frontenac’s resources and expertise, our capacity to recruit qualified personnel, and the Township’s strategic priorities, South Frontenac is ideally positioned to provide this service on behalf of the other Frontenac Townships. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: Delivery of Part 8 services within Frontenac by a single municipality would be beneficial to the lower tiers in that it would allow for coordination with other inspections, make use of South Frontenac’s land management software system, improve alignment with municipal planning services, timelines and approvals, and create the potential for backfilling and coverage during inspector absences. South Frontenac benefits directly through the addition of resources that can be cross-trained in other areas of Building Inspection to further bolster the department’s capacity, it creates additional succession planning opportunities, and it provides specialized expertise in-house that can reduce reliance on external consultants while providing support to other inspectors. “Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive Rural Leader”
Page 67 of 83
REPORT TO COUNCIL Office of the Chief Administrative Officer Funding As with the current agreement with KFL&A Public Health, the delivery of Part 8 services is fully-funded by associated permit fees and other charges as is mandated by the Ontario Building Code Act (OBCA). If South Frontenac were to deliver this service, all costs would be covered through fees paid directly to South Frontenac, resulting in no additional burden on Township taxpayers. The chart below illustrates the 2019 permit volumes and estimated revenues from the delivery of Part 8 services to the three Frontenac lower tier municipalities:
South Frontenac Certificate of Approval (class 4-5) Certificate of Approval (class 2-3) Additional inspections Septic tank replacement only Class A (large) Subdivision lots Severance applications Minor variances Minor variance with a perf. review Garages, pools, decks Renovation Renewal Septic file search record search Change of installer Minor Variance with new system

The total fee revenues of $169,250 are sufficient to cover the cost of an additional Part 8 dedicated inspector, and associated administrative support, including all overhead costs. Human Resources Recruitment and retention of certified and experienced building inspectors continues to be a challenge in Eastern Ontario. This is particularly true of Part 8-qualified inspectors. However, having recently undertaken the recruitment of a Deputy CBO, Township staff are confident that suitable candidates are available and interested in this unique position. Based on KFL&A data, 1,377 hours were allotted to Part 8 inspections for the three other lower tiers in 2019. This number does not include administrative work, training, vacation or other absences. While a single full-time equivalent (2,080 hrs/year) position would meet these inspection requirements, the collective volume of Part 8 permits for all four Townships means that additional administrative resources would be required.
“Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive Rural Leader”
Page 68 of 83
REPORT TO COUNCIL Office of the Chief Administrative Officer While the estimated permit revenues are sufficient to cover those costs, the specific duties, location and allocation of that support personnel would require further discussion with the other Townships. Accommodation Despite recent renovations to the lower level of the Township’s Sydenham offices, recent hires in the Development Services Department mean that work space remains at a premium at this facility. Since the bulk of additional Part 8 inspections will take place in North and Central Frontenac, staff are investigating options for a satellite office to be established in one of those jurisdictions. This would also facilitate reduced travel times and improved communication with those Township’s building staff. Next Steps Staff is seeking Council’s support in principle for the delivery of Part 8 Services to the other Frontenac lower tier municipalities, subject to the approval of the other Townships and to a Municipal Services Agreement (MSA) that is satisfactory to all parties. If supported by all four Council’s, staff will work with our counterparts in the other Townships to develop an MSA to be brought back to Council for approval. FINANCIAL/STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: The recommendations of this report would result in the following additional staff being hired at an annual cost of $154,500 including all overhead costs:
Part 8 Specialist/Inspector (1.0 FTE) Administrative Support Position (0.5 FTE)
The estimated revenues associated with the delivery of this service total $169,250 based on 2019 data from KFLA Public Health. Building Services is mandated to be full cost recovery service under the OBCA. None of the costs associated with this service will be borne by taxpayers and annual excess revenues are transferred to a dedicated Building Reserve. RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN: The delivery of Part 8 Services to the other Frontenac lower tier municipalities is in keep with: • •
Priority #1: Position South Frontenac as a Regional Leader; and Priority #3: Ensure the Organizational Capacity to Delivery Cost-effective Services in a Changing World

REPORT TO COUNCIL Office of the Chief Administrative Officer AGENDA DATE:
November 3rd, 2020
SUBJECT:
Support for CAO’s application to the AMO Board of Directors, Rural Caucus
RECOMMENDATION: That Council supports the candidacy of its Chief Administrative Officer, Neil Carbone, for a position on the Rural Caucus of the AMO Board for the term ending August 2022; and, That Council confirms that Neil Carbone is employed as Chief Administrative Officer for the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac; and, That Council agrees to cover expenses associated with his Board directorship if appointed; BACKGROUND: Following the recent AMO Board elections as part of the AMO Conference and AGM, two vacancies remain – one on the Rural Caucus and one on the Large Urban Caucus. AMO’s By-Laws govern the filling of the vacancies for the remainder of 2020-2022 Board term. AMO is soliciting expressions of interest from qualified candidates who are employees of member municipalities. Qualified candidates would be interviewed by the respective Caucus members and a candidate for each Caucus will be recommended to the AMO Board for appointment for a term ending August 2022. Members of the AMO Rural Caucus are also appointed to the Board of the Rural Ontario Municipal Association (ROMA). AMO’s By-laws stipulates Directors must be eighteen (18) or more years of age and an employee of a municipality that is an AMO member in good standing. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: Role of AMO’s Board of Directors The Board is constructed of various Caucuses which represent the different types of municipal government structures, service responsibilities and geography across the Province. With 43 members, the Board has a pan-Ontario breadth so that it reflects the range of its membership as it works to speak on shared interests through a common voice. Benefit to the Township Participation as a Director on the AMO Board provides the opportunity to be part of a broader policy development team as well as providing networking and information that benefits Directors’ municipalities and their sector. As a member of the Board for the Rural Caucus and for ROMA, an employee of the Township would have direct input into AMO policy positions relating to rural land-use planning, agricultural policy, rural economic development initiatives, AMO’s involvement in efforts to achieve full producer responsibility for recycling, and other matters of relevance to a rural Township like South Frontenac.

REPORT TO COUNCIL Office of the Chief Administrative Officer Staff Commitments The Board meets six (6) times a year, generally the last Friday of the month. It is preceded by a Thursday Committee of the Whole meeting, and the caucuses meet individually before the Board meeting. The Board also participates at the Annual Conference in August. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is anticipated than many of these meetings will be virtual during the remainder of this term of the Board. Township Requirements A municipality must pass a Council resolution supporting their employee’s candidacy, confirming their employment status and agreeing to cover the expenses associated with their participation. No other time or financial commitments are required. FINANCIAL/STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: If appointed to the AMO Board, the CAO would be required to attend up to six (6) board meetings annually, and various meetings of the ROMA Board until the end of the term in August of 2022 (1½ years). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, meeting attendance will likely be virtual. Any costs associated with in-person meeting attendance would be borne by the Township and included in the 2021 and 2022 operating budgets. These costs are expected to be negligible, consisting of transportation and accommodation within Ontario. RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN: The CAO’s participation on AMO’s Board (Rural Caucus) and the Board of ROMA supports the following Township priorities within the Strategic Plan: •
Priority #1: Position South Frontenac as a Regional Leader;

2021 Budget Cycle – revised
RECOMMENDATION: That council adopt the revised 2021 budget cycle as presented. BACKGROUND: Each year in the early Fall, Council is asked to endorse a schedule for the annual budget process to ensure all stakeholders and the public are aware of important dates and deadlines during that process. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: In order to provide sufficient time to prepare and present preliminary budget information which includes updated assessment information from MPAC, and considers potential service delivery changes and associated financial impacts, staff is recommending the following revised schedule for the 2021 budget process.

REPORT TO COUNCIL CLERKS DEPARTMENT
AGENDA DATE:
November 3, 2020
SUBJECT:
January 2021 Council & Committee of the Whole Meetings
RECOMMENDATION: That Council suspend the rules of the Procedural By-law 2017-76 and schedule the January 2021 Council meetings for January 12 and 26 and the Committee of the Whole meeting for January 19, 2021.
BACKGROUND: Given that January 1, 2021 is a statutory holiday and takes place on a Friday, the municipal offices will be closed. Normally the first Council meeting of January would occur on Tuesday, January 5, 2020 with staff returning to the office on January 4, 2021. The timing of the New Year’s holiday and closure of the Township offices over the Christmas break (as per policy) results in an office closure from noon on December 24, 2020 through January 4, 2021. ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: As a result of the extended closure noted above, it would be challenging for staff to compile the necessary reports in time for the regular January 5 meeting agenda deadline. For this reason, staff recommend that for January 2021, the regular meeting schedule be advanced one week with the first Council meeting in January being held January 12, 2021 and then following the regular weekly pattern with Committee of the Whole on January 19, 2021 and Council again on January 26, 2021. This recommended change is also reflected in the proposed Budget Schedule Update report also listed on the November 3, 2020 Council agenda. The February meetings will follow the regular scheduling as outlined in By-law 2017-76. FINANCIAL/STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: None. ATTACHMENTS: not applicable

Treasurer Report: As of Aug 31: Bank Balance $1729.08 includes insurance, hydro, taxes to this date. We have since received a deposit of $1850 for the community grant. Net balance is $2685.15 Donation of $100 from Carmel and Ciaran Orr (Corr1352@icloud.com). To be deposited. Tax receipt to be generated by the township for a donation of soil by McNichols Construction Ltd. $423.75 Petty Cash : $31.16 Old business ( reported for Celine by Carmel) The covid “no vacancy” rebate is not available as we are taxed as a residence. Will be continuing to look into tax exemption application for being non-profit but she is not optimistic. Water testing : Because we are taxed as residential, it was suggested that we might be able to get this done without charge. Cynthia will check this with dept. of health. Will be testing the water Monday or Tuesday Sep 21 –22 next week. Re. Hall going under township insurance: Has put in a call to Neil but hasn’t heard back. Community Garden: 3 bags of produce taken in to the food bank. This is the second donation. Thanks to Celine for harvesting the crops in time to save them from the light frost we had/expected a few nights ago. Mice: We need to put out more mouse poison bait. Gina to ask Stan to do this. Re-opening the hall: We need to set a date for a work party to clean the hall. Will pick a date and notify all helpers. Painting: $475 for labour Carl St. Pierre. Quoted. We need to supply the paint or ask him to get us paint using his discount. It was suggested that we see if Atkinsons’ in Hartington can donate paint. He can do it in October before the booking with the Nature Conservancy which is in late October. This met with the approval of the committee so she can go ahead and arrange the painting job with Carl. Taps to be dealt with later. Insurance: Cynthia has been back in touch with the broker for the insurance company (MacDougal insurance). Talked to Jennifer. Jennifer is going to try to get us coverage for a limited number of licensed events and will stress that we are non-profit and when we run this type of event we limit number of participants to half of the hall’s permitted capacity. Hoping to get back to us with some type of coverage soon. Also we may have a private event occasionally—status of our coverage for this type of booking needs clarification. Will cross that bridge when we get to it. New Years’ Eve: We may have a booking for a wedding. Deck construction: Still awaiting approval from the building inspector to start the next stage of construction. NEXT MEETING OCT 15 AT 6 PM.

Business Arising from the Minutes
a)
Review of Official Plan Survey & Open House Data Claire Dodds provided the Committee with an overview of the public consultations that have taken place over the past few months in relation to the new Official Plan. She explained that staff engaged with 125 people at the three open houses, and received comments from 129 individual responses through the online survey. She also noted that that 30% of the survey responses came from individuals aged 18 and under, a demographic that has proven hard to reach in the past. Claire Dodds reviewed the feedback from the survey and each of the different questions that were posed during the open houses, and drew attention to the themes that are emerging from residents. She explained that there was a lot of language around preserving the rural feel of this community, while expanding and growing the township’s settlement areas in order to provide needed services. The Committee thanked Claire Dodds and her team for their work so far. The Committee expressed interest in having Claire Dodds review this data with all of Council at an upcoming Committee of the Whole meeting, as to ensure all Councillors stay up to date with Official Plan progress.

REPORT TO COUNCIL RECREATION DEPARTMENT
AGENDA DATE:
November 3rd, 2020
SUBJECT:
2019 Volunteer and Youth Volunteer Awards and Celebrations
RECOMMENDATION: This report is for information only. BACKGROUND: For the past 20 years, volunteers in the community have been recognized for their efforts with plaques and an appreciation ceremony presented by Council, called the Volunteer of the Year Award. However, there has been a constant decline in the number of nominations for the Award over the past few years and this has prompted a request from Council in 2019 to refresh the program. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, neither the Awards nor a program refresh were unable to take place in the spring; however, there is still a desire to recognize community volunteers for 2019. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: Staff have prepared an adapted volunteer recognition program that is both reflective of current public health guidelines and of preliminary program refreshment feedback from the Recreation Committees. The Program, Events & Education Coordinator will: a. Put a call out for submissions for volunteer recognition and youth volunteer recognition using regular communication methods; b. Film and edit videos for social media and the Township website that will feature the Mayor and Councillors thanking volunteers; c. Gather profiles and photos of volunteers to feature on the Township’s social media and website; d. Create an ad in the Frontenac News for the November 26th edition thanking community volunteers; e. Assemble a package to be mailed to award recipients that will include an appreciation certificate, a Township pin with a volunteer appreciation specific pin backing card, and a $5 ‘Coffee on Council’ gift card to a local business.

SUBJECT:
Community Newspaper Boxes
RECOMMENDATION: For information only. BACKGROUND: At the June 9, 2020 Committee of the Whole meeting Council supported the recommendation that staff work with Kingston This Week/Frontenac This Week to establish protocols that address those areas where newspapers (that include ad bags) are left alongside municipal ditches and road allowances. ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: Staff’s first recommendation regarding the distribution in hamlets was to no longer deliver door to door but rather that community mailboxes be located for interested parties to pick a copy up themselves. Post media has agreed to this approach but has had difficulty obtaining the boxes which has delayed the implementation. They are endeavouring to repurpose “Toronto Sun” newspaper boxes to locate in South Frontenac. The Township has worked with Jeff Lundy at Post Media and provided a list of locations in each hamlet for the boxes. Locations will include some Township properties or facilities, while some more suitable private retail locations are also being considered. Secondly, Post Media has agreed to direct delivery staff to place the newspapers in private mailboxes wherever they exist, and to otherwise NOT deliver the bagged papers by tossing them onto driveways. If adhered to, this would address the concern about them being left along the road allowance/township ditches. Further, the intention had been to include in the Final Tax Notice insert, a message to all property owners regarding the opportunity and contact information for discontinuation of ad bag service when they are not going to be at their residence or are not interested in receiving the ad bag. While this messaging was delayed and not included, the Township will share/promote the change through its website and social media platforms once Post Media is ready to install the community newspaper boxes. A mailed notice will also accompany the next tax bills in 2021. It is recognized that Council had directed this transition to take place in early fall, however Post Media has indicated that obtaining goods (especially unique ones like mailboxes) has been challenging during COVID restrictions. They’ve provided an estimated timetable of late November for implementation. FINANCIAL/STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: Not at this time. ATTACHMENTS: None. Submitted/approved by: Angela Maddocks, Clerk
