PUBLIC MEETING - INTRODUCTION The purpose of this public meeting is to hear comments on several Zoning By-Law Amendment applications. If a person or public body does not make oral or written submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to South Frontenac Township before the by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added to the hearing of an appeal before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

Public Meeting Report – Zoning By-law Amendment Report Date: November 29, 2018 Application No: Owner: Location of Property:
Z-18/17 Morgan 4562 Bedford Road, Sydenham Part 1 & 2, Plan 13R21830, Part of Lot B, Block R, Registered Plan No. 50, Geographic Township of Loughborough, Township of South Frontenac Purpose of Application: To establish a new minimum lot frontage and area for a new residential lot and retained lot created by consent application S-62-17-L. Date of Public Meeting: December 4, 2018
Recommendation Subject to receiving comments from the public, it is recommended that By-law 2018-73 to rezone lands described as Part 1 & 2, Plan 13R21830, Pt Lot B, Block R, Registered Plan No. 50, District of Loughborough to recognize the surveyed frontage and lot area of a new residential lot and retained lot to be created by consent application S62-17-L (creation of 2 new residential lots), be passed. Proposal An application has been submitted to recognize the reduced lot size and road frontage of a new residential lot and a retained lot. The rezoning is to reflect the surveyed lot frontage and area for the 2 lots. Both the new lot and the retained lot will be used for residential purposes. The survey of the subject lands is Attachment #1 to this report. The severed lot (Part 1) has 57.5 metres of frontage and is 1.0 acre in size. The retained lot (Part 2 on 13R-21830) has 55.74 metres of frontage and has an area of 0.8 Acres. The lot frontage and area reflect the lot sizes proposed to be created by consent application S-62-17-L. Background The subject property was rezoned in May of this year by By-law 2018-28. By-law 28-2018 rezoned the lands from Residential Waterfront (RW) to a Special Urban Residential First Density Zone (UR119) to recognize a reduced lot size and road frontage for a new residential lot and retained parcel as a condition of consent file S-62-17-L. The UR1-19 zone established a minimum frontage of 64m and a lot area of 1 acre. The rezoning was submitted and approved before the before the survey was completed for the consent. The survey was submitted for review by planning staff in mid-October. The survey shows that the severed lot would have a minimum frontage of 57.5m and 1.0 acres. The retained lot has a frontage of 55.7m and 0.8 acres. These frontages and the lot area for the retained lot are less than the 64m of frontage and minimum lot area of 1.0 acre established by By-law 2018-28. As Planning staff cannot stamp a certificate for the creation of a lot that does not comply with the Zoning By-law, the applicant was advised they needed to submit a new zoning by-law amendment to establish new minimum frontage and lot area to reflect surveyed frontage and area. The applicant is requesting the Zoning By-law Amendment application fee be refunded as Mr. Morgan payed to rezone the subject property earlier this year (May of 2018) to fulfill the condition of consent. 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. The Provincial Policy Statement 2014 supports land use patterns and densities within settlement areas which efficiently use land and resources and are appropriate for the available infrastructure. As 1

the lands are located within Sydenham and municipal water is available, the creation of an undersized lot is permitted. A condition of the severance application is that the severed and retained lots connect to municipal water and the existing well on the property shall be abandoned and sealed in accordance with Ministry of Environment standards. Frontenac County Official Plan The County Official Plan (s.3.2) encourages efficient development patterns and road connections in Settlement areas to optimize public services and make the most efficient use of land and resources. This application assists in the creation of an infill residential lot within the settlement area of Sydenham that can be serviced with municipal water. Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, 2003 & Comprehensive Zoning By-law, 2003 The subject property is designated “Settlement Area” in the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan. The Official Plan directs growth into Settlement areas. The standard minimum lot size specified in the Plan for new lot creation is 2 acres. However, the Plan supports the creation of smaller lots in Sydenham where the lots are serviced by municipal water. Where there is justification in the Official Plan, a zoning by-law amendment may be permitted to recognize reduced lot sizes for the severed and retained lands and to recognize reduced road frontage. The lands front on Bedford Road and has waterfrontage on a remnant waterbody formed by the manmade berm for the rail line (now the Cataraqui Trail). The proposed zoning by-law amendment establishes that the 30m waterbody setback continues to apply to both the new and retained lots. The existing house & garage) will be removed from the lot in order to facilitate the consent. A road widening was taken from the lot to facilitate the improvements recently completed to Bedford Road. Agency Analysis and Comments KFL&A Public Health and the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority had no objections to the consent application that is creating these new residential lot. Public Comments At the time of writing, no formal comments have been received from the public on this new zoning bylaw amendment application. This zoning by-law amendment application replaces the minimum lot area and frontage in the UR1-19 zoning that was put in place through By-law 2018-28 to recognize the actual frontage and lot area surveyed for the new residential lot and the retained parcel. This rezoning is considered a technical application to update the zone provisions put in place by By-law 2018-28, previously approved by South Frontenac Council. Summary This rezoning is consistent and conforms to the South Frontenac Official Plan, County Official Plan and the Provincial Policy Statement. The standard practice of Township Council is to hold the public meeting for a rezoning to receive comments from the public and then consider passage of the by-law at a subsequent meeting of Council. In this instance, as a public meeting was previously held to rezone the subject property, as well as the technical nature of this zoning by-law amendment application, staff recommend Council consider passing the by-law at the December 4th, subject to receiving comments from the public. Submitted/approved by: Claire Dodds, MCIP, RPP, Director of Development Services, Township of South Frontenac 2

Public Meeting Report – Zoning Bylaw Amendment Report Date: November 29, 2018 Application No: Owner: Location of Property:
Z-18/18 Wills & Boone 3967 Greenfield Road Concession 3 Part Lot 17, RP 13R9478; Part 1, Loughborough Lake, District of Storrington, South Frontenac Purpose of Application: Rezone from Rural (RU) to Rural Site Specific Zone (RU-55) Date of Public Meeting: December 4, 2018
Recommendation It is recommended that South Frontenac Council receive comments from the public and pending comments received direct staff to prepare a bylaw to rezone the subject lands from Rural (RU) to Rural Site Specific Zone (RU-55) to permit the conversion of a garage into a residential second unit.
Proposal The proposal is to rezone the property from Rural (RU) to Rural Site Specific Zone (RU-55) to permit a second residential unit to be constructed in an accessory building. The subject property is 12 acres in size with 755 feet frontage on Loughborough Lake and is developed with an existing single detached residence. The applicants propose to convert an existing 22ft x 33 ft garage into living space by adding a kitchen, bedroom and living room. The second residential unit is proposed accommodation for Ms. Boone’s elderly parents. Under the Planning Act, a public meeting is required to be held to receive comments from citizens on the proposed rezoning. With the information presented, planning staff are recommending that Council receive comments but defer passing a bylaw until a later Council meeting to allow staff to incorporate comments received.
Background Proposal for a Residential Second Unit The applicants, Jeff Wills and Kathryn Boone are applying to convert an existing garage on the property into a permanent second residential unit on their 12 acre property locate at the end of Greenfield Road on Loughborough Lake. Ms. Boone’s parents recently sold their house and are looking to downsize but would rather live in their own home than move into a retirement residence. The applicants considered seeking permission to construct a temporary garden suite on the property but would rather have a permanent structure that could be utilized in the immediate term as a second residential unit on the property for as long as Ms. Boone’s parents need it – and then have the opportunity to convert it back to a garage and keep it on the property rather than remove the structure. The garage is situated in close proximity to the existing single detached dwelling located on the property and is tied into the main house for water and electricity. The garage is also connected into the existing septic system. Access to the garage is from the same driveway as the existing single detached dwelling. In 2016, the Province updated the Planning Act to require municipalities to allow second units in designations or zones that permit detached, semi-detached or row houses, as well as in accessory structures provided there is not already a second unit in the primary dwelling. It required municipalities to establish policies in both its Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit second units as-of-right in areas where there are not servicing limitations, natural hazards, on private roads or atcapacity lakes. While many municipalities (e.g. Tay Valley, City of Kingston, Leeds and Thousand Island), South Frontenac has not yet undertaken such an update. Until the Township updates its planning documents, applicants have to submit a site-specific rezoning application to be permit secondary units. The subject property is not subject to flooding, can adequately service the second unit and is located on a Township maintained road. 1
Report to Council Planning Department
Page 14 of 211
Second units are self-contained residential units with a private kitchen, bathroom facilities and sleeping areas within dwellings or within structures ancillary (e.g. a garage) to a dwelling. Locating a second unit in a garage on a property on a rural property where it can be adequately serviced with private water and septic is consistent with the direction established by the Planning Act. Permitting a second unit on a rural property that is accessed with a year-round Township maintained road, outside of the 30m setback from Loughborough Lake, that shares water, hydro and septic services with the existing dwelling and is accessed with the same driveway as the existing single detached dwelling on the property would be consistent with the direction established for municipalities in the Planning Act. 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. Section 1: Building Strong Healthy Communities includes accommodating an appropriate range and mix of residential uses including second units, affordable housing and housing for older persons. The second unit is proposed to provide housing for the parents of the current owners. 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 5.6.2. of the County of Frontenac Official Plan directs Township Official Plans to permit second units in a detached house, semi-detached house or rowhouse if no building or structure ancillary to the house contains a second residential unit; and further, to allow the use of a residential unit in a building or structure ancillary to a detached house, semi-detached house, or rowhouse if the house contains a single residential unit. 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 of the Official Plan permits limited non-agricultural residential development to provide a variety of living accommodation for residents in the Township. The presence of a second unit on the property allows the owner the opportunity to have a variety of living accommodation to provide housing for themselves in a way that meets the needs of the applicants to provide affordable and accessible housing for their elderly parents. The septic system on the property has been designed to accommodate both the current single detached dwelling on the property and the second residential unit in the converted garage. The placement of the second unit in proximity to the existing single detached dwelling eliminates the concern may exist to create pressure for a future severance. Township of South Frontenac Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw, 2003 The property is zoned Rural (RU) in the Township of South Frontenac Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw. The intent of the RU zone is to permit uses that are compatible with the rural landscape on larger lots. The converted garage is modest in size, being approximately 726 square feet. It complies with the lot coverage standards of the RU zone for accessory structures.
Agency Analysis and Comments Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority – No concerns with the proposal as it is outside its regulated area and as such, did not provide formal comments. 2
Report to Council Planning Department
Page 15 of 211
KFL&A Public Health – Public Health has already issued a septic permit that confirms the current septic system is sized to receive flows from the proposed second residential unit.
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.

Zoning By-law Amendment Z-18/12 - Concession 5, Part Lot 7, Loughborough
- Van Luven Claire Dodds reviewed the background on this application that will rezone lot addition lands and one new lot to Limited Service Residential Waterfront in Concession 5, Part of Lot 7, Loughborough District. The application was reviewed for consistency and conformity to the Provincial Policy Statement, the Official Plan and the Comprehensive Zoning By-law. There were mp objections received from the KFL&A Public Health and the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority to the severances at the time of provisional consent. John Simpson, 1080 Carslake Lane, who benefits from a lot addition noted the increased lot size and buffering. He indicated his appreciation to the Committee of Adjustment and the Director of Development Services for help in this process. There were no comments from Council.
c)
Zoning By-law Amendment Z-18/13 - Concession 4, Part of Lot 17, Portland Sindall & Cross Claire Dodds reviewed the purpose of this application to rezone from Rural to Rural Site Specific to permit a second residential unit in an accessory building and from Rural to Rural Commercial Site Specific to permit a craft brewery and accessory uses on lands proposed to be severed. The consistency and conformity of this application against the Provincial Policy Statement, the County of Frontenac Official Plan, the Official Plan and Comprehensive Zoning By-law were all presented. Councillor McDougall spoke to progress in the City of Kingston for secondary suites providing gradual and improved housing and felt this was great progress in our community. Councillor Sutherland questioned the permitted uses under these zones and if the uses were exhaustive. Ms. Dodds confirmed that she will meet with the
Page 2 of 8
Page 23 of 211 Minutes of Council November, 6, 2018 applicant to scope the permitted uses to those compatible with surrounding residential uses and this will be presented to Council for consideration before passing the by-law. Mayor Vandewal questioned the sequence of severances and rezoning and if the process had been switched would the severance have been permitted. Ms. Dodds noted that the severances could have happened independently and that normally the main dwelling would have been established first. There were no comments from the public. d)
Zoning By-law Amendment - Z-18/14 - Concession 7, Part Lots 27 & 28, Bedford -Tucker Ms. Dodds reviewed the application that would rezone from Residential Limited Service Waterfront to a Site Specific Residential Limited Service Waterfront zone. The rezoning is to limit the permitted uses on the property to parking and a dock so that the land may only be used as mainland access for the properties located on Mica Island. The application is considered to be consistent and conform with the Provincial Policy Statement, the Township Official Plan and Comprehensive Zoning By-law. The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority recommends site plan control to address sediment and erosion controls, planting plan, and that all materials from construction be disposed of 30 metres or more from the normal high water mark. Councillor Barbeau asked if anything is in place to restrict the installation of hydro or well water to permit car washing on site. Ms. Dodds indicated that the zoning does not deal with this nor is it the intent of the applicant to use for anything other than parking and docking. Councillor Sutherland questioned the trail identified in the conceptual site plan and is it a walking trail. Claire Dodds confirmed that it is a pedestrian trail, there is no width included but this could be established. It is not meant for motorized vehicles. Councillor McDougall asked if there is a boat launch near this property and it is believed that there is one close to Cedar Haven but accessed from Tay Valley Township. There were no comments from the public.
e)
Zoning By-law Amendment Z-18/15 - Concession 9 , Part of Lots 27 & 28, Bedford - Phillips The purpose of this application is to rezone the subject lands from Rural to Limited Service Residential Waterfront to fulfill a condition of consent for the creation of a new waterfront residential lot. Claire Dodds discussed the merits of the rezoning based consistency and conforming with the Provincial Policy Statement, the Official Plan and the Comprehensive Zoning By-law. The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority has no objections but recommends the applicant enter into a site plan for this development. There were no comments from Council or the public.
f)
Zoning By-law Amendment - Z-18/16 - Concession 5, Part Lot 28, Bedford - St. Arnaud & Walker Ms. Dodds explained that the rezoning of the subject lands from Rural to
Page 3 of 8
Page 24 of 211 Minutes of Council November, 6, 2018 Limited Service Residential Waterfront is for two new water access residential lots fronting on Bob’s Lake. Legal deeded parking will be provided for the new water access lots where current parking is deeded. She reviewed the application on consistency and conformity to the Provincial Policy Statement, the Official Plan and Comprehensive Zoning by-law . The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority recommends that the unevaluated wetlands are retained in their natural state and the KFL& A Public Health will require additional suitable granular soil prior to site development and the construction of a sewage system. Mayor Vandewal felt these were big lots for water access and questioned the requirement for rezoning if built on later. Claire Dodds outlined that the rezoning would permit the applicants to build on the lots once the severance is finalized. There were no comments from the public. Resolution No. 2018-23-04 Moved by Councillor Schjerning Seconded by Councillor McDougall THAT an opportunity having been provided, the public meeting be closed. Carried 9.

2018 Municipal Election Review Councillor Sutherland expressed concerns about potential fraud based on the win/loss in Loughborough District of 4 votes. He noted that there were Voter Notification letters sent out where individuals have not lived at the property and the potential for the PIN’s to be voted. He noted that there was not access for candidates after the polls closed to determine who voted and this made it difficult to challenge the results. Wayne Orr noted that Internet and Telephone voting was a decision of Council and the method was confirmed by by-law. He confirmed that the candidates module was shut down at 7:00 pm however candidates can request a list of who voted from the Clerks Office. The issue with Voter Notification Letters sent to people who no longer reside at a property is an issue with the Voters List and not internet voting. He explained the data cleansing undertaken by the election staff however there is no door to door enumeration to confirm who lives where, this is why there was Voter Lookup promoted in advance as well as the Voter Help Centre. The same opportunities for potential fraud have existed in the past four elections. The concerns will be noted for the 2022 election. Councillor Barr supported the internet and telephone voting method as an easier way to vote although the voter turnout was still relatively low for the 2018 election. Councillor Schjerning asked if the electronic voting systems is an advantage for seasonal residents. The CAO explained that the data does not define a seasonal resident and this is challenging to determine. Mayor Vandewal felt that Councillor acclamations in two of the districts may have some impact on the lower voter turnout.

SUBJECT:
Notice of Motion – Hartington Community Association
RECOMMENDATION: Resolution 2017-23-11 THAT on a without prejudice or precedent basis the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac cover the cost of the two most recent invoices from Mr. Wilf Ruland and the Final invoice from Mr Harold Chard to the Hartington Community Association. BACKGROUND: The Hartington Community Association (HCA) is a citizen lead organization formed primarily to advocate for the community and oppose the Hartington Subdivision proposal. The notice of motion was served following a delegation to Council by the HCA in June, 2017. The motion was properly moved by Councillor Schjerning and seconded by Councillor Sleeth at the July 11, 2017 meeting and subsequently deferred “until the legal proceedings are finalized at the OMB”. The OMB decision on the Hartington Subdivision was received November 15, 2018 and is included for information on the December 4 Agenda. In summary the HCA was unsuccessful in their appeal. The OMB approved the 13 unit Subdivision to move forward, adopted the draft plan conditions and approved the zoning. In conversation with the Township solicitor he has made it clear that it is not good practise for Council to cover costs when they have been successful in litigation matters. In July 2017 Council received specific advice from the solicitor in Closed Session on this matter. FINANCIAL/STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: The sum of the three invoices taken from the HCA’s delegation notes equals $28,792.40. No specific budget exists for this expense. The Township’s direct costs for this appeal were $99,597 ATTACHMENTS:

SUBJECT:
Notice of Motion – Hartington Well Testing
RECOMMENDATION: Resolution 2017-23-13 THAT the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac cover the cost associated with testing the well water quality for residences within 300 m of the former gas station in Hartington; and, THAT Testing shall be performed two (2) times per year; and, THAT testing shall be done on a voluntary basis. BACKGROUND: The Hartington Community Association (HCA) is a citizen lead organization formed to advocate for the community and oppose the Hartington Subdivision proposal. The notice of motion was served following a delegation to Council by the HCA in June, 2017. The motion was properly moved by Councillor Schjerning and seconded by Councillor Sleeth at the July 11, 2017 meeting and subsequently deferred “until the legal proceedings are finalized at the OMB”. The OMB decision on the Hartington Subdivision was received November 15, 2018 and is included for information on the December 4 Agenda. In part, paragraph 184 from the Analysis and Findings section from the OMB states: “In regard to the gas station property, the evidence before the Tribunal is that drinking water wells on properties adjacent to the development site were recently tested and no PHC’s were detected. As the directional flow of groundwater from the contamination site is down-gradient and in the opposite direction, the potential of impact to the subdivision is considered negligible”…. In conversation with the Township solicitor, based on the evidence before the tribunal, testing is not warranted. In July 2017 Council received specific advice from the solicitor in Closed Session on this matter. The Director of Public Works reports that staff have just coordinated the latest round of sampling, including the additional wells recommended in the memo (see attached). The reports from the consultant have not been received but verbally it has been suggested to install another well behind the Princess Anne building to conclusively define the extent of the migration. This is supported by the MOE and will be included in the 2019 Operating Budget. In a meeting with MOE staff held on Nov 28, the MOE’s Hydrogeologist said: “this is a contaminated site, but work has been done work to assess the migration off site and there have not been any adverse impacts”. The MOE also wants to reiterate that this is how they manage any contaminated site
Our strength is our community.
Page 32 of 211
REPORT TO COUNCIL CLERK’S DEPARTMENT Staff wish to point out that under the Domestic Well section of the memo: “To date, contaminants of concern have not been detected in domestic wells” FINANCIAL/STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: The initial projected cost of this testing based on the estimates from the HCA and the frequency stated in the motion would be $17,400 per year. Based on recent experience, staff believe that this estimate is well below market costs. Staff estimate the cost to be closer to $45 – 50,000. No specific budget exists for this expense.

RE:
5598 Highway 38 Hartington, Ontario
Page 33 of 211
April 10, 2018
Purpose I have reviewed the following reports:
report entitled “Investigation and Verification Groundwater Sampling – 5598 Highway 38, Hartington, Ontario” completed by SOS Consultants and dated January 2, 2018; and,
report entitled “Supply Well Sampling – Hartington, Ontario” also completed by SOS and dated December 18, 2017.
I reviewed these reports to determine the current state of groundwater contamination at 5598 Highway 38 (the “site”) and to determine the potential for off-site groundwater contamination to impact domestic water supply wells in the area. Background The site formerly operated as a convenience store and gas station. It is understood that two gasoline pumps were located adjacent to Highway 38 on the west side of the site. In January 2015, two Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) were removed from the site (one 8,327 litre tank and one 13,248 litre tank). It is understood that approximately 500 litres of gasoline was removed from the two tanks. Significant hydrocarbon odour and staining were noted at the time of UST removal. Contamination has been found to extend away from the former UST locations in all directions. It is understood that contamination was found in fractured bedrock layers from approximately 3 metres below ground surface (“mbgs”) to approximately 3.65 mbgs. Excavation and off-site disposal (250 tonnes) of contaminated soil and bedrock was undertaken in 2015. Based on investigation work conducted to date, there is remaining contamination in soil and fractured bedrock around the north, east and west extents of the excavation and in the northern end of the site adjacent to Holleford Road. A site monitoring well network has
Page 34 of 211 -2-
been established to determine impacts to groundwater and nearby domestic wells have been sampled on multiple occasions. The site is considered to be a “contaminated site”. SOS has recommended that the monitoring at site monitoring wells should be undertaken until the site is fully remediated. Contaminants of Concern The former land use was a petroleum hydrocarbon dispensing facility. Based on the former land use the contaminants of concern are: benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes (BTEX) and petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs F1-F4). Cleanup Criteria The cleanup criteria are derived from the “Soils, Ground Water and Sediment Standards for Use Under Part XV.1 of the Environmental Protection Act” (MOE, 2011). The site is a “shallow soil property” (less than two metres of overburden), thus classifying the site as “environmentally sensitive”. The area is privately serviced for water supply and the applicable cleanup criteria are provided in Table 6 of the above referenced document (shallow soils in a potable condition). Ontario Drinking Water Standards are also applicable to results from domestic supply wells. Geology Available geological mapping shows the following conditions in the area of the site:
Bedrock exposed or with less than one metre of drift cover; and,
Gull River Formation fractured limestone.
SOS has reported that boreholes encountered a shallow layer of soil across the site ranging in thickness between 0.46 meters and 0.90 metres underlain by shale that transitioned to fractured limestone bedrock between 1.2 and 1.8 mbgs. Hydrogeology SOS has indicated the following general conceptual model for groundwater flow and contaminant transport at the site:
shallow groundwater flow has been generally to the east (northeast, east, southeast) prior to 2017, changing to westerly groundwater flow direction in 2017 (SOS indicates that this change may be related to higher levels of precipitation / water levels in 2017); and,
contaminant transport in the shallow fractured bedrock in the direction of shallow groundwater flow with vertical migration limited by “competent” (relatively less fractured) bedrock.
As indicated above, the site is located in an area of shallow fractured bedrock (thin soils) such that contaminant attenuation is limited prior to entering the shallow fractured bedrock aquifer.
Page 35 of 211 -3-
Based on a review of domestic well records in proximity to the site, water supply wells typically do not use the shallow aquifer for supply but rather deeper aquifer units in bedrock. In a shallow fractured bedrock setting, water quality in these deeper aquifer units can be influenced by shallow / surface contamination. The on-site monitoring well network shows exceedances of the applicable cleanup criteria at the western property boundary (monitoring well MW-2). Additional off-site wells were installed in 2016 (monitoring wells MW-8, MW-9 and MW-10) in order to delineate impacts and to improve the understanding of groundwater flow direction. These wells were installed during a severe drought in 2016 and water was not found during drilling. The shallow fractured bedrock zone would be expected to be particularly vulnerable to drought conditions. Given the difficult conditions brought about by the drought (the shallow groundwater zone was apparently dry at the time) these wells were constructed differently than the seven on-site wells. Monitoring wells 8, 9 and 10 have casing set to a depth of approximately 4.5 metres (cased through the shallow fractured bedrock zone where contamination was encountered at the site) and have screens set in the deeper, less fractured bedrock. In comparison, monitoring wells 1 through 7 have casing set to a depth of approximately 2.5 metres. Based on the way that wells 8, 9 and 10 have been constructed, I suspect that they are not well hydraulically connected to the shallower groundwater flow system that is monitored by wells 1 through 7. Given their construction characteristics, these wells do not appear useful for determination of groundwater flow direction in the larger area surrounding the site. Contaminants of concern have not been detected in these wells which provides information that the slightly deeper bedrock is not impacted (the zone from 4.5 to approximately 9 mbgs) however, impacts in the shallow bedrock aquifer cannot be properly monitored at these wells. It is noted that the borehole log for monitoring well MW-9 (BH-9) indicated hydrocarbon odours in the zone from approximately 1.83 mbgs to 3.20 mbgs. Shallow groundwater monitoring wells should be installed at / near the locations of monitoring wells 8, 9 and 10 to provide information on overall groundwater flow conditions and to delineate shallow impacts. Wells should be constructed similar to onsite monitoring wells provided that shallow groundwater is encountered at these locations. In order to improve the conceptual model, hydraulic conductivity should be measured at a representative number of monitoring wells (3-4 wells). This work is not onerous (“slug” tests) and will allow groundwater velocity to be estimated. Remediation It is understood that remediation work conducted in 2015 consisted of excavation and off-site disposal of 250 tonnes of contaminated soil and rock.
Page 36 of 211 -4-
Soil and Groundwater Impacts Based on investigation work conducted to date, there is remaining contamination in soil and fractured bedrock around the north, east and west extents of the excavation and in the northern end of the site adjacent to Holleford Road. Based on exceedances of applicable groundwater standards at the property boundary (MW2), there is a potential for off-site impacts to groundwater quality. Additional monitoring wells should be installed to delineate off-site groundwater impacts as discussed above. Given the potential for off-site impacts, further remediation should be completed to address areas with remaining contamination. Ongoing groundwater monitoring should be undertaken until remediation at the site has been completed. Domestic Water Supply Wells The area surrounding the site is privately serviced for water supply and sewage. There is the potential for impacts to nearby water wells given that there are exceedances of applicable standards at the property boundary (discussed above) and given the sensitive setting in the area (shallow fractured bedrock). Ongoing domestic water well monitoring has been undertaken to determine the presence of any impacts. Six to eight domestic wells in proximity to the site have been monitored on four occasions. To date, contaminants of concern have not been detected in domestic wells. Ongoing Groundwater Monitoring and Reporting Groundwater monitoring at the site monitoring well network should continue on a semiannual basis (water levels and quality). Monitoring of domestic wells should also continue. Given that recent groundwater flow direction has been determined to be westerly, domestic wells located west of Highway 38 should be sampled. If the well owner is agreeable, sampling for contaminants of concern should be undertaken at the following locations: 5597 Highway 38, 5595 Highway 38, 3984 Boyce Road, 3986 Boyce Road, 3992 Boyce Road and 3991 Boyce Road. Based on these results and the results additional delineation work, the need for additional domestic well sampling can be determined. An annual report should be submitted to the ministry detailing the results of monitoring. The report should include interpretation of results. The report should identify any offsite impact to a domestic water supply and should indicate the need for changes to the monitoring program. The ministry should be notified immediately of the detection of any contaminant of concern in a domestic supply well. SOS has indicated that monitoring well MW7 needs repair. This well should be repaired.

Conclusions and Recommendations Additional monitoring wells should be installed to delineate off-site groundwater impacts as discussed above. Given the potential for off-site impacts, further remediation should be completed to address areas with remaining contamination. Ongoing groundwater monitoring should be undertaken until remediation at the site has been completed (as described above). In order to improve the conceptual model, hydraulic conductivity should be measured at a representative number of monitoring wells. This work is not onerous (“slug” tests) and will allow groundwater velocity to be estimated. Monitoring well MW7 should be repaired. Groundwater monitoring and reporting should be completed as discussed in the previous section.

AGENDA DATE: December 4, 2018 SUBJECT: Recreation Committee Structure/Facilitated session RECOMMENDATION THAT Council authorize the engagement of an external facilitator, in advance of the 2019 budget approval process, to guide a session that helps revamp the Recreation Committee structure and process AND that Council delay Recreation Committee appointments until results of the facilitated session are presented to Council.
BACKGROUND Recreation in the Township of South Frontenac has undergone many changes over the past years and the Township needs to look at ways to reflect the changes while focusing on meeting the Committees purpose as outlined in the Terms of Reference. There is a sense that committee members, staff and the Community are frustrated with the current Committee structure and process. As a Community we have different pressures, changing demographics and rec & leisure needs that may have not existed in the past. As per discussions that occurred at the June 4, 2018 South Frontenac Recreation Committee meeting regarding the evolution of the committee. The committee requested that Supervisor of Recreation research the cost to have a facilitator assist with the process of the structure and role of the committee. It was agreed that a facilitated session would help revamp the Recreation Committee structure and fine tune the process that the Township employs for supporting Recreation and Leisure Services in South Frontenac. Some of the comments that arose during the discussion and would be part of the facilitated session include:
things that used to be done by volunteers but are now being done by township staff the different needs of each district and how do we manage the expectations from the public for recreation and cultural programs. there is a need to find a model that will support funding recreation in the township the recreation survey conducted in 2016 needs to be reviewed as part of this process. Are we meeting the purposes of the SFRC terms of reference? revamp the structures and process before we review the Recreation Mater Plan and update the 5 year recreation plan review the 2016 Recreation and Leisure Public Survey report/results
In September the following motion was passed by the committee. Resolution No. SFRC-2018-09/17-03 Moved by Councillor McDougall Seconded by Linda Bates

Z-18/13 Sindall & Cross 4183 & 4153 Camden Portland Boundary Road Part of Lot 17, Concession 4, Geographic Township of Portland, South Frontenac Purpose of Application: Rezone from Rural (RU) to Rural Site Specific Zone (RU-54) and from Rural (RU) to Rural Commercial Site Specific (RC-15) as a condition of consent application S-80-18-P Date of Public Meeting: November 6, 2018
Recommendation It is recommended that the by-law rezoning Part of Lot 17, Concession 4, Geographic Township of Portland, South Frontenac, municipally known as a portion of 4183 Camden Portland Boundary Road be passed.
Proposal The proposal is to rezone a portion of the property from Rural (RU) to Rural Site Specific Zone (RU54) to permit a second residential unit to be permitted in an accessory building. This application also proposes to rezone a 5.05 acre portion of the property as a condition of an application (S-80-18-P) to sever a rural commercial lot from the property. The applicants propose a site specific Rural Commercial zone (RC-15) to permit a craft brewery on the 5.05 acre lot.
Background Proposal for a Residential Second Unit This rezoning application proposes to permit a second residential unit in an accessory building on a 31 acre rural lot located at 4153 Camden Portland Boundary Road. At present, the owners Brenda Cross & Craig Sindall have constructed a garage with a residential unit above as their primary residence. It is their long term plans to build a single detached dwelling on the same residential property in the future and then use the residential unit above the garage as a second dwelling unit on the property. Second units are self-contained residential units with a private kitchen, bathroom facilities and sleeping areas within dwellings or within structures ancillary (e.g. a garage) to a dwelling. Locating a second unit in a garage on a property on a rural property where it can be adequately serviced with private water and septic is consistent with the direction established by the Planning Act. Craft Brewery The applicants received provisional consent (application S-80-18-P) to create a 5.05 acres rural commercial lot from the property at 4183 Camden Portland Boundary Road. The severed parcel contains an existing derelict dwelling and a refurbished barn. The purpose of this severance is to establish a craft brewery within the refurbished barn. A demolition permit has been received from the Building Department to demolish the derelict dwelling on the lot. The applicant intends to establish a small batch craft brewery in the barn on the property. The applicant has been improving the 900 square foot barn over the last few years. The applicant proposes to locate the brewing equipment on the main floor and locate a tasting area in the upper floor of the barn. The brewery will be licensed by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission and will operate as a tied house. As such, there will be a simple menu of food served on-site. The lot area is large enough to accommodate parking. The applicant’s intent is to create a destination brewery and will retail beer and merchandise from the property.
Public Meeting A public meeting was held under the Planning Act on November 6, 2018. No public comments were received on the proposed rezoning. The KFL&A Health Unit had no objections to this application. 1
Report to Council Planning Department
Page 44 of 211
During the public meeting Council members raised questions regarding the range of permitted uses that would be allowed on the rural commercial property. The by-law permits the craft brewery use, along with a range of compatible uses including an eating establishment, butcher shop, retail store, garden centre, craft and merchandising service shop. It also proposes a new definition for the by-law defining a craft brewery and the permitted ancillary uses (e.g. tasting room, food service and tours). Due to the size and rural nature of the property, the by-law also permits agricultural crops used in the production of beer may also be permitted to be grown on the property. Council also raised some questions about the proposed second residential unit. Once the single detached dwelling is constructed on the property at 4153 Camden Portland Boundary Road, the existing residential unit that has been constructed above the garage on the property will become the second unit. Both the house and second residential unit will share the same access and the same septic system. The septic system installed on the property has been sized to accommodate flows from both the proposed single detached dwelling and the residential unit above the garage. The proposed by-law has been provided to the applicants for review and comment prior to the December 4th meeting of Council. The applicants are agreeable to the provisions of both the proposed rural and rural commercial site specific zones established by the attached by-law.
Summary A comprehensive report reviewing this zoning by-law amendment against the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014, the County of Frontenac Official Plan and the South Frontenac Official Plan was provided to Council in advance of the November 6, 2018 public meeting. As this rezoning is consistent and conforms to the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014, the County of Frontenac Official Plan and the South Frontenac Official Plan and Zoning By-law, it is recommended Council approve this application by passing the attached by-law.

Recommendation It is recommended that the by-law rezoning Part Lots 27 & 28, Concession 7, Parts 1-4, 13R11231, Geographic Township of Bedford, South Frontenac be passed.
Proposal An application has been submitted to amend the Township of South Frontenac Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw 2003-75 to rezone a portion of the subject property as a condition of consent application S-76-18-B. The proposal is to rezone a portion of the property from Residential Limited Service Waterfront (RLSW) to a Site Specific Residential Limited Service Waterfront zone (RLSW-121) as a condition of approval for an application for consent (S-76-18-B). The proposal is to limit the permitted uses on the property to parking and a dock so that the land may only be used as mainland access for the properties located on Mica Island.
Background An application for consent (S-76-18-B) has been given provisional consent by the South Frontenac Committee of Adjustment subject to several conditions, including rezoning the property to limit the permitted uses to parking and a dock so that the land may only be used as a permanent mainland access for the properties on Mica Island in Bob’s 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 Bob’s Lake and Michael’s 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 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 Bob’s 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. The parking area proposed will be large enough to accommodate four vehicles and will be approximately 10 metres by 12 metres. A further condition of consent S-76-18-B is that the severed lot shall be subject to site plan control. As such the applicants will be required to enter into a site plan agreement with the Township of South Frontenac.
Public Meeting A public meeting was held under the Planning Act on November 6, 2018. No public comments were received on this application. The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority has no objection to the subject application provided the Township put the property require the owner to enter into site plan control for the severed parcel.
Report to Council Planning Department
Page 46 of 211
Council members raised questions regarding restricting the ability to service the lot with hydro and a well, the width of the access to the water, the location of the closest public water access. It was noted that the closest public water access was provided from a public dock located in Tay Valley. Following the public meeting, staff discussed Council’s questions with the Planning Consultant acting for the application. The consultant confirmed applicant does not have any plans to install a well or water supply to service the lot. It is proposed the only uses that would be permitted is the location of the parking or docking area on the lot. The applicant would like the option to install hydro to the lot for the simple purpose of installing a security light on the lot. It is noted that the installation of hydro is seldom regulated through zoning. As a condition of consent, the applicant is required to enter into a site plan agreement with the Township. It is recommended that the site plan agreement speak to limiting the installation of a water service to the lot. Council asked a question about the width of the access that would be permitted to the waterfront. The applicant would like the width of the path to the waterfront to be wide enough to service pedestrian and equipment access. It is recommended that any shore line access be limited in width of approximately 3 metres. The location of the shoreline access shall be approved by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and the Township through the site plan review process and shall be included on the approved site plan.
Summary A comprehensive report reviewing this zoning by-law amendment against the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014, the County of Frontenac Official Plan and the South Frontenac Official Plan was provided to Council in advance of the November 6, 2018 public meeting. As this rezoning is consistent and conforms to the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014, the County of Frontenac Official Plan and the South Frontenac Official Plan and Zoning By-law, it is recommended Council approve this application by passing the attached by-law.

Dear Ms. Dodds,
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 RVCA understands this application to be in ?ll?llment of a condition of severance (File No. S-76-18-B) which requires that the subject property successfully obtain a zoning by-law amendment to restrict the permitted uses so that the site may be used exclusively as an access area for properties located on Mica Island. The requested amendment would see the zoning changed from Limited Service Residential Waterfront Zone (RLSW) to a site speci?c designation within the RLSW zone that limits uses exclusively to parking and a dock. —
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 48 of 211
Review Comments and Recommendations
Michael ‘s Creek Marsh During the site visit for the severance application, 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 (120 metres) requires the prior written approval of the RVCA. Wetlands provide a variety of bene?ts. These bene?ts include: attenuation of ?ood water; serving as a groundwater recharge/discharge area and providing a more stable source of water during low water conditions; ?ltering our drinking water; and providing habitat to many species of plants and animals (often including ?sh).
Babs 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 ?sh 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 planning rationale submitted for the severance application (related File No. S-76—18—B), 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.
Recommendations Based on the foregoing, it is the opinion of the planner that the inclusion of best management practices at the site plan control stage will assist with protecting water quality of Bob’s Lake and the natural feature of Michael’s Creek Marsh in satisfaction of Section 2.1 of the PPS. These types of measures are described below, but generally include ensuring that appropriate sediment controls are installed and maintained during construction, directing surface runoff to appropriate catchment features, such as in?ltration trenches, directing stormwater away from the watercourse or the use of soak away pits, and maintaining current shoreline vegetation. Should the Township implement site plan control as a result of this development application, the RVCA would recommend the following conditions be included: —
Sediment and erosion controls between the construction area and Bob’s Lake/Michael’s Creek Marsh 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—establishedto the satisfaction of the Township or Chief Building Official.
Page 2 of 3
Page 49 of 211
—
A_llmaterials from construction (such as excess soil) will be disposed of 30 metres or more from the normal highwater of Bob’s Lake and the Michael’s Creek Marsh at a proper disposal site.
A planting plan shall be prepared and submitted as part of the site plan control agreement. This will be to the satisfaction of the Township and could be as simple as indicating the existing vegetation and its maintenance while also indicating the opportunity to make improvements on a best efforts basis. The recommended vegetation buffer for this application is 30 metres, allowing for a 3 metre wide access path to the shoreline. The following statement should be included in the site plan control agreement.
“Should any work be undertaken along the shoreline ofBob ‘s Lake, or within Michael ’s Creek Marsh, or within the 120 metre adjacent lands fromMichael ’s Creek Marsh, 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 RVCA has no objection to the subject application. The RVCA would like the review comments and recommendations included and acknowledgedin future site plan control agreements on the subject property.
Please provide a copy of the amending by—lawto our office for our review and for our records. 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,

Recommendation It is recommended that the by-law rezoning Part of Lot 28, Concession 5, Geographic Township of Bedford, South Frontenac be passed.
Proposal An application has been submitted to amend the Township of South Frontenac Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw 2003-75 to rezone a portion of the subject property as a condition of consent applications S-70-18-B & S-71-18-B The proposal is to rezone a portion of the property from Rural (RU) to Residential Limited Service Waterfront as a condition of consent to create two new vacant water access lots (S-70-18-B & S-7118-B). The northerly new lot will have approximately 230 metres of frontage along Bob’s Lake and is approximately 14 acres in area. The southerly new lot will have approximately 131 metres of frontage along Bob’s Lake and is approximately 8 acres in area.
Background The South Frontenac Committee of Adjustment recently granted provisional consent for two new water access lots from an existing property at Part Lot 28, Concession 5, District of Bedford, commonly referred to as St. Arnaud Acres. The existing lot has frontage on Bob’s Lake and is approximately 144 acres in area. The subject property is located on a large peninsula that projects into Bob’s Lake. The subject property is currently developed with a cottage with the remainder of the property being heavily vegetated with unevaluated wetlands and a watercourse. The applicant is proposing to sever approximately 24 acres from the existing 144 acre lot in order to create two new lots. Legal deeded parking will be provided for the new water access lots at the location where the current parking is deeded; sufficient area exists to accommodate the additional vehicles. The retained lands will consist of 120 acres in area with approximately 260 metres of frontage along Bob’s Lake. The retained lands will contain the seasonal dwelling located on the property. No further development is proposed for the retained lands.

SUBJECT:
Proposed reduced speed zones
RECOMMENDATION: That By-law 2018-70, being a by-law to amend By-law 2000-01 as amended, to regulate traffic, parking and stopping on Township Highways and Bridges, be approved. BACKGROUND: Request for reduced speed limits are received on an ad-hoc basis and reviewed on a seasonal basis. Various segments of road have been compiled that fit the criteria for speed analysis. Under the Highway Traffic Act the current speed limit is 50 km/h by default in built up areas and 80 km/h elsewhere. These road segments were reviewed incorporating the council endorsed TAC Automated Speed Limit Guidelines analysis tool. The result of this analysis was the recommendation for a speed limit reduction to 60 km/h for Wellington Street and Perth Road, and Arthur Road which is 50 km/h. Clearwater Road which was recently reduced to 50 km/h, has received a request through petition for a further reduction to 40 km/h. This list of roads has been reviewed by both the OPP and the Public Services Committee. Both are generally supportive of the recommendations. FINANCIAL/STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: Sufficient funds exist within the 2018 Operating budget for the purchase of the required Regulation Signage. Submitted/approved by:

January 2019 Council & Committee of the Whole Meetings
RECOMMENDATION That Council suspend the rules of the Procedural By-law 2017-76 and schedule the January 2019 Council meetings for January 8 and 22 and the Committee of the Whole meeting for January 15, 2019. And that a Bus Tour of township facilities and projects be scheduled for spring of 2019.
BACKGROUND Section 1 (e) of the Procedural By-law stipulates that Council shall meet at 7:00 pm on the first and third Tuesday in each month from January to December inclusive with the exception of the months of July and August. Given that January 1, 2019 is the first Tuesday night of the month and will be New Years’ Day, the municipal offices will be closed. Staff recommend that for January the schedule be advanced one week with the first Council meeting in January being held January 8, 2019 and then to follow the alternating pattern with Committee of the Whole on January 15, 2019 and Council again on January 22, 2019. The February meetings will follow the regular scheduling as outlined in By-law 2017-76. During Council Orientation sessions there were discussions about coordinating a bus tour on January 12, 2019. Given that there was no consensus or definitive direction, it is recommended that we reschedule a bus tour in the spring when weather will be most likely be more predictable.

County Council Appointee
RECOMMENDATION That Council adopt the County Council Appointment Process as the binding method for appointment of a South Frontenac Councillor to County Council for the four year term 2018-2022. And that having adopted a process for determining a County Councillor appointment, that Councillor___________________ be appointed to Frontenac County Council for the term 2018 -2022.
BACKGROUND In 2009 the composition of Frontenac County Council changed from 4 members to 8 members. Under the Municipal Act the Head of Council of each of the lower tier municipalities is automatically appointed to County Council. The County’s decision to expand to 8 members requires that each lower tier municipality appoint a second member of Council for the entire four year term. The selection of the County appointee has to be by open voting. Voting by secret ballot for this role is prohibited under section 244 of the Municipal Act. During orientation Council members have been made aware that this item would be on the Agenda for the first meeting of the new Council. A proposed process is attached. This is based on the process used in 2014. Prior to proceeding with discussions on potential appointees a binding process must be agreed upon by Council.

COUNTY COUNCIL APPOINTMENT PROCESS (adopted for the 2014-2018 term of Council)
- The Mayor will call on Council for nominations to fill the position. The nominees must be members of council.
- All nomination motions must have a mover and seconder to be placed on the table for consideration by Council. The nominee cannot be the mover or seconder for his/her nomination. The Mayor will call for a motion to close nominations.
- Before Council votes on the nominations, each nominee will be allowed five minutes to address Council as to why he or she should receive Council’s support to fill the County Council position.
- Council will vote on each nomination individually in an open manner in the order in which they were nominated. A nomination motion must receive a majority of support of Council (five votes in support) to move on in the process. The Clerk will record the votes. A nominee may vote for himself or herself.
- If at any time only one nominee receives the majority support of Council, the nominee will be the person appointed to fill the County Council position.
- If after the first round, no one receives a majority vote from Council, a second round of voting will occur. If the lack of majority continues, all names will be placed in a ‘hat’ and the name drawn by the Chief Administrative Officer will be the individual appointed to fill the position.
- If two or more nominees receive majority support of Council, the process will repeat itself for as long as each round results in at least one of the nominees being eliminated because he or she did not receive the support of Council.
- If all of the nominees remaining at any point in the process receive the support of council, their names will be placed in a hat. The Chief Administrative Officer will draw one name from the hat and the name so drawn will be the individual appointed to fill the position on County Council.

Appointment - Clerk
RECOMMENDATION That Council pass Bylaw 2018-71 to appoint Angela Maddocks as Clerk and Wayne Orr as Chief Administrative Officer and Deputy Clerk, both effective December 5, 2018
BACKGROUND In October 2017 Council began the implementation of a restructuring that seen the Appointment of Angela Maddocks as Deputy Clerk. During the time since the appointment Angela has attended Clerk I and II training with the Association of Municipal Clerks and Treasurers. She has also had full training on election operations and assumed a much broader role in the recent municipal elections. Over the course of the year and in combination with orientation she has assumed the majority of the role. Working with the Director of Development Services Angela is assuming the Clerk portion of the Planning function. The hiring of the new Executive Assistant will now allow this to be fully implemented. The final step of this process as originally outlined to Council in 2017 is to appoint Angela to the role of Clerk and appoint the CAO as Deputy Clerk. The appointment of the CAO as Deputy Clerk will allow back up coverage and the opportunity for Council to meet independently with the CAO if they wish or the need arises. The separation of the Clerk role will also be of assistance when Council turns its mind to the recruitment of a new CAO. Council is now asked to pass the Bylaw to confirm the appointments.
FINANCIAL and STAFFING CONSIDERATIONS Funds exist in the 2018 budget to for additional staffing were incorporated into the 2018 budget and will be annualized in the 2019 budget.

STAFF REPORT RECREATION DEPARTMENT
Agenda Date: December 4, 2018 Subject: Recreation Guide Function and Naming
RECOMMENDATION: For information BACKGROUND: The Township of South Frontenac publishes an annual guide to Township and Community Programs. The publication titled ‘Recreation & Activity Guide’ has changed over the years and in the past was titled ‘Recreation Guide’. Traditionally this print publication provided the Public with information on recreation programs and events. This annual publication continues to evolve to become a great community resource that includes information on programs, events, services, area maps, businesses and more. In continuing to develop this publication as a resource that reflects our diversity, growth, uniqueness, demographics of population and region staff feel that name should change to be more inclusive. Beginning in 2019, the publication and content will change to ‘Community Services & Activity Guide’ in order to reflect the expanding content.

From: “Hillier-co, Randy” randy.hillierco@pc.ola.org To: “‘info@randyhillier.com’” info@randyhillier.com Subject: Letter to Minister MoECP re: local Conservation Authorities Dear Council; Attached you will find a letter from me to Minister Rod Phillips (Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks) expressing my significant concerns with ongoing difficulties with our local Conservation Authorities. I would appreciate your support in promoting these reforms by way of a supporting motion passed by your Council. The specific reform is to repeal the authority to enter into contractual services with municipalities outside of their statutory mandate. It is my desire to have the Minister reduce the Conservation Authorities’ evergrowing jurisdiction back to their core responsibilities and statutory obligations, such as maintaining water levels, dams, and other assets, as well as managing development adjacent to shorelines, provincially significant wetlands, and flood plains. Over the last few years they have expanded the scope of their interests to include “insignificant” and “unevaluated” wetlands, septic systems, storm water plans, and other unrelated municipal planning matters, to the detriment of their core responsibilities and taxpayers. I am asking that both this letter and the attached letter be brought before council as a matter of business for debate and discussion. I would be happy to appear at your request and our mutual convenience as a delegate to council to discuss this matter in person. I am hoping to have, by way of municipal resolution, your support for this effort. Do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or concerns. Thank you, Randy Hillier MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston Perth 613-267-8239 Queen’s Park 416-325-2244 info@randyhillier.com

Hon. Rod Phillips Minister of Environment, Conservation and Parks 11th Floor, Ferguson Block 77 Wellesley Street St. West Toronto, ON M7A 2T5 November 9, 2018 Dear Minister; I am writing you today regarding growing concerns I have with the activities of the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) and the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA). Unfortunately, I have to question the viability retaining these Conservation Authorities in their current form. I believe it is prudent and indeed in the best interest of our taxpayers and the environment that the following section of the Conservation Authority Act be repealed. As part of our mandate and ongoing initiative to find efficiencies and reduction of red tape, a general principle is applicable: Government entities ought to be constructed and empowered to serve the taxpayer. Many government agencies and departments have remodeled themselves to serve other government agencies and entities; if a government department or agency only serves another government agency or or department it has no utility and ought to be disbanded. Memorandum of understanding with municipalities (3) An authority may enter into a memorandum of understanding with a municipality situated in whole or in part within its area of jurisdiction in respect of programs and services that the authority will provide on behalf of the municipality. 2017, c. 23, Sched. 4, s. 20 (1).

Page 109 of 211
Over the last number of years, I have come to learn of the many shortcomings of Conservation Authorities in my electoral district including significant delays in service, false technical advice, and misinterpretations of statutory authority. These significant failings are both unacceptable and compounded by the fact that CA’s have expanded their mandate beyond their statutory obligations, with many Memorandums of Understanding with municipalities, and have increased their focus on expanding consulting services while neglecting their core responsibilities. In addition to these shortcomings, I continue to receive many complaints to my office about dams in disrepair, mismanagement of water levels, and failure to maintain other MVCA assets. As a recent example, when concerns about much needed repairs to the K&P Trail were brought to my attention, my staff was advised by the MVCA that there was no money to do the necessary repairs because the budget had been spent litigating a claim against the MVCA. If the MVCA is unable to maintain or repair basic assets, which are a statutory responsibility, they should cease to acquire them. Although all Conservation Authorities have a legislated responsibility to oversee development in flood plains and in proximity to provincially significant wetlands, recently the Conservation authorities expanded their authority to include the management of “insignificant wetlands”, which has created an unnecessary duplication to the planning process for development in their jurisdiction. The imposition of classifications such as “unevaluated wetlands” leave developers in a lurch and engineers and planners scratching their heads. Again, as many CA’s fail to meet its statutory requirements they are expanding their scope of services and broadening their jurisdiction. The contradictions with the Conservation Authorities are clear; they fail to meet their obligations: dam repairs, access road maintenance and culvert replacements, and water control are put aside while they seek out new jurisdictions and operate a professional consulting firm to our municipalities. In Lanark County both the RCVA & MVCA have an MOU with the upper tier municipality and a number of lower tier municipalities. It is in this capacity as a professional consulting firm providing technical review services that these Conservations Authorities demonstrate both a conflict in interest and a degree of incompetence that borders on negligence. …/3
Page 110 of 211
Some recent examples that I have been involved with and made aware of include:
- A three lot severance in which the CA in its review capacity referenced wrong standards, recommended septic system conditions that exceeded both the building code requirements and pre-empted the Health Units approval process
- A subdivision stormwater plan that was approved and all the work completed at great cost, only to find that it was later rejected and determined non-compliant by the same CA that issued the approval
- A seniors subdivision that was held up for over three years with multiple requests for additional Hydro geological surveys and assessments that were neither lawfully required nor relevant to the project and that eventually were determined not to be required after the significant expense to complete. In each of these cases, the conservation authority added thousands of dollars in costs and in some hundreds of thousands of dollars, while also lengthening the approval process by many years. This was all undertaken while the CA never actually engaged in any meaningful assessment or engineering activities, rather they were strictly reviewing another professional engineer’s work. It is important to note that I have never received a complaint of this nature from Beckwith Township, which is the one lower tier municipality in Lanark that opted out of the Conservation Authority MOU. Beckwith Township does however use a private professional engineering firm to provide technical reviews. The examples of the CA’s failings are compounded by the conflict of interest between their stated purpose of both conservation and development of and on our natural resources, coupled with a conflated and indeed distorted as being both an “authority and a review agency” The responsibilities of the CA’s are articulated under the Conservation Authority Act Purpose 0.1 The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario. 2017, c. 23, Sched. 4, s. 1.

I believe it would be wise to implement in specific language within the governing statutes of government agencies that their mandate is to service the taxpayer, not other levels of government. I look forward to an opportunity to discuss a review of the Conservation Authority Act as well as the mandate of Ontario’s Conservation Authorities in order to ensure the public is getting value for the dollar.

Re:
Letter from MPP Hillier to the Minister of MECP Regarding Conservation Authorities Delivering Services for Municipal Partners Under MOUs
Dear Members of Council, We were recently advised that Mr. Randy Hillier, MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston sent a letter to the Minister of Environment, Conservation and Parks regarding the Mississippi Valley and Rideau Valley Conservation Authorities. His letter requests that the Conservation Authorities Act be amended to prevent conservation authorities from entering into memorandums of understanding with their municipal partners to provide programs and services on their behalf. We also understand that Mr. Hillier shared this letter with local municipalities seeking motions of support from council. In his letter to Minister Phillips, Mr. Hillier makes several assertions which we would be pleased to respond to, however, we wanted to ensure that municipal Councils were aware of the conservation authority services to which he refers and the value they provide. Therefore, we have prepared the following information for your consideration which we hope you find helpful. We are also available to answer questions and we would welcome an opportunity to appear before council should you have any concerns. The Conservation Authorities Act All conservation authorities are governed by the Conservation Authorities Act which was recently updated in December 2017 following a three-year review. This review of the Act was undertaken by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and included multiple consultation sessions with the public and key stakeholders, including municipalities and the development industry, as well as multiple postings on the Environmental Registry. Under the Act, the purpose of a conservation authority is to deliver programs and services that further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources within a watershed. Conservation authorities do this by: • Fulfilling responsibilities delegated to them by the Province; • Delivering programs and services on behalf of municipalities; and • Providing other such programs and services that further their mandate. Below we expand on delegated responsibilities and municipal services that pertain to planning and development as these are the services discussed in Mr. Hillier’s letter.
Page 113 of 211
Protecting People, Property and the Environment Conservation authorities are involved in planning and development to: • Protect people and property from natural hazards (flooding, erosion); and • Protect natural features (watercourses, shorelines, wetlands) from loss or degradation. Conservation authorities achieve these objectives through provincially delegated responsibilities as well as services they provide on behalf of municipalities. Provincially Delegated Responsibilities Under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act, conservation authorities are responsible for regulating development in or around floodplains, steep slopes, unstable soils, wetlands, shorelines and waterways. Development in these areas requires a permit from the conservation authority because the area is environmentally sensitive or prone to natural hazards like flooding and erosion. Requiring approval under the conservation authority’s Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation ensures that development is protected from natural hazards and natural features are not negatively affected by development. Since conservation authorities regulate development in areas affected by natural hazards, the Province also made them responsible for commenting on planning files with respect to natural hazards. Under the Planning Act, municipalities must circulate official plans, comprehensive zoning bylaws and site-specific planning applications to conservation authorities who then provide comments on behalf of the province relating to Section 3.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement (natural hazards). As directed by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, conservation authorities provide comments with respect to flooding, riverine erosion and unstable slopes, soils and bedrock. Services Delivered on Behalf of Municipalities Since land use decisions play a critical role in the long-term health and sustainability of watershed resources, most conservation authorities provide other services to local municipalities whereby the natural resources of the watershed are conserved, restored, developed and managed as directed by the Conservation Authorities Act. When reviewing planning files, most conservation authorities offer to share their broader watershed knowledge and expertise with municipalities by providing advice on matters relating to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of the Provincial Policy Statement (natural heritage and water). The conservation authorities’ role in this capacity is strictly advisory and involves providing advice to municipalities related to natural heritage (wetlands, woodlands and valley lands), hydrogeology (potable water and surface and groundwater quality and quantity), stormwater management (flood and erosion control and water quality with respect to aquatic health) and in some cases, sewage systems. The MVCA and RVCA have MOUs with the City of Ottawa (since the 1990s), Lanark County (since 2009) and the County of Leeds and Grenville (since 1999) to provide advice to municipalities on these matters when reviewing planning applications. Page 2 of 4
Page 114 of 211 Some conservation authorities also offer to administer Part 8 of the Ontario Building Code on behalf of municipalities to ensure sewage disposal systems function properly to prevent untreated effluent from contaminating surface and groundwater resources which can negatively impact human health, property and the environment. The conservation authorities’ role in this capacity is regulatory and involves reviewing and issuing permits for construction, enlargement and/or alteration of sewage disposal systems. The MVCA and RVCA have MOUs with the City of Ottawa (since 1995) and Tay Valley Township (since 2004) to provide this service. Some conservation authorities also provide septic re-inspection services to ensure existing sewage disposal systems continue to function properly, especially around lakes. This involves inspecting the system and providing property owners with recommendations or requirements to improve, repair or replace the system. The MVCA and RVCA have MOUs (some since 2005) with Tay Valley Township, Township of Rideau Lakes, Municipality of North Frontenac, Municipality of Central Frontenac and the Municipality of Drummond / North Elmsley to provide this service. The Value of Providing Services for Municipalities Providing services for municipalities is an important way in which conservation authorities fulfill their mandate of conserving, restoring, developing and managing natural resources within their watershed. Enabling municipalities to leverage the expertise of their local conservation authority and have them deliver services on their behalf through MOUs also provides value to municipalities and applicants. • Through MOUs, municipalities can ask conservation authorities to deliver services they do not have the capacity or expertise to provide, or services they feel the conservation authority is better suited to deliver. This allows municipalities to make use of specialized staff, knowledge and skill sets within their conservation authority which is cost-effective. If conservation authorities can no longer provide services to municipalities, those responsibilities will default back to municipalities. • Conservation authorities have local watershed knowledge and expertise that should be applied to planning and development applications because it provides a broader watershed perspective and a consistent approach to protecting natural resources across the watershed. Commenting on Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of the Provincial Policy Statement and providing septic approval and reinspection programs are practical and effective ways of incorporating this knowledge and perspective. • Being involved early in the planning process also allows conservation authorities to make applicants and municipalities aware of any regulatory requirements that may be encountered later on in the process under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act or Part 8 of the Building Code. This allows for the coordination of applications and the early identification of any constraints to avoid unnecessary delays or costs and any duplication of effort. • It should also be noted that providing additional services to municipalities with respect to planning and development does not take significant resources away from other conservation authority priorities as fees are collected from applicants to cover or offset the cost of these services. Page 3 of 4
Page 115 of 211 We hope that the information we have provided is of use and that it shows the value and need for conservation authorities to be able to enter into MOUs with municipal partners to deliver services on their behalf. Across Ontario, municipalities should be empowered to work with their local conservation authority in any way that best conserves, restores, develops or manages natural resources, including having conservation authorities deliver services for them. This gives municipal Councils options and flexibility to make decisions locally about how best to deliver programs and services to their residents. Having conservation authorities deliver certain programs for municipalities can lead to cost-efficiencies, streamlined delivery and better service for applicants and the environment. For over 50 years, municipalities in the Mississippi and Rideau watersheds have been doing just that. We appreciate your consideration of the information we have provided and we remain available to answer questions or attend council meetings as you wish. Sincerely,
Paul Lehman General Manager, MVCA

What does it mean to live with food insecurity?
I cannot afford to buy healthy foods. I am not able to find food that fits with my cultural identity.
I have very little money left to buy food after paying rent.
I skip meals so that there is enough food for my children.

Food insecure households are likely to: • compromise their food quality and or quantity, • reduce their food intake, and • experience disrupted eating patterns.
Food insecurity negatively affects health.1 • Children who are hungry are more likely to develop depression and asthma later in life. • Adults who are food insecure have poorer physical and mental health, and are more likely to have chronic conditions such as depression, diabetes,

What does it mean to live with food insecurity?
I cannot afford to buy healthy foods. I am not able to find food that fits with my cultural identity.
I have very little money left to buy food after paying rent.
I skip meals so that there is enough food for my children.

Title: Magenta Waterfront Development Corp., Permit for activities with conditions to achieve overall benefit to the species - ESA s.17(2)(c) EBR Registry Number: 013-1130 Ministry: Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry Date Information Notice loaded to the Registry: November 14, 2018 This notice was republished on November 14, 2018 to give notice of the decision. Keyword(s): Fish and Wildlife | Land use planning This notice is for your information. The Environmental Bill of Rights does not require this notice to be placed on the Environmental Registry, however, section 6 of the Act does allow the Environmental Registry to be used to share information about the environment with the public. Rationale for Exemption to Public Comment: This proposal is exempted by Ontario Regulation 681/94 under the Environmental Bill of Rights as a classified proposal for an instrument, because the species for which the permit is sought are animals. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) is voluntarily posting this notice to advise the public of the proposal and to invite the public to submit written comments on this proposal to the contact person identified in this notice. Description: Magenta Waterfront Development Corp. has submitted a proposal in relation to an overall benefit permit under clause 17(2)(c) of the Endangered Species Act, 2007 (ESA) with respect to Gray Ratsnake (Frontenac Axis Population) and Blanding’s Turtle for the purpose of developing 15 condominium lots in part of Lots 23 and 24 Concessions 6 and 7 in the Township of South Frontenac, County of Frontenac. Purpose of the Notice: The purpose of this notice is to ensure that the public is made aware of, and given an opportunity to comment on, the overall benefit permit proposal. The proposed permit would be issued under clause 17(2)(c) of the ESA. Decision: The current proponent is 1324789 Ontario Inc. On October 28, 2018 an overall benefit permit was issued to 1324789 Ontario Inc., under clause 17(2)(c) of the Endangered Species Act, 2007 with respect to Gray Ratsnake (Frontenac Axis population) and Blanding’s Turtle in order to construct 15 condominium lots in part of Lots 23 and 24 Concessions 6 and 7 in the Township of South Frontenac, County of Frontenac, Ontario. Reasonable alternatives to the proposal were considered, including alternatives that would not adversely affect the species such as: o Not proceeding with the new development; o Reducing the number of lots to be developed; and o Using alternate methods, equipment, designs, etc. to carry out the proposed activity
Page 131 of 211
such as not paving the roadway to reduce attractiveness for the species, increasing setbacks to avoid important habitat features, etc. The best alternative, which was adopted, includes using alternate methods, equipment, and design to avoid or reduce impact to the species and habitat where possible (such as setting the homes back from the shoreline by at least 30 metres) as well as providing a benefit to the species. The permit requires 1324789 Ontario Inc. to undertake a number of measures to minimize adverse effects on individual members of Gray Ratsnake and Blanding’s Turtle, including: o Limiting specific development activities (example vegetation clearing, driveway clearing and construction, etc.) to avoid active and sensitive periods for both species, and in particular for Gray Ratsnake, restricting blasting to avoid the hibernation period for the species; o Minimizing the amount of habitat destruction such as retaining, where feasible, living trees measuring 4” in diameter at breast height and restricting the width of paths to the water and parking areas; o Marking any habitat to be retained during and after construction to reduce the likelihood of impacting habitat and harming individuals of both species; o Instituting speed limits and posting impact avoidance signage on the access road to reduce mortality and harm to both species; o Installing exclusion fencing in blind spots to keep both species off the road; o Maintaining and monitoring an existing ecopassage under the road until the permit expires; o Limiting or restricting road maintenance activities (example roadside vegetation clearing, herbicide use, grading, etc.) to reduce impacts to both species; o Ensuring the access road remains unpaved to reduce attractiveness to basking snakes for thermoregulation; o Undertaking awareness training for employees to ensure awareness of both species’ presence and habitat to be retained, as well as what actions to take if either species is encountered; o Establishing a Condominium Environmental Committee to support protection and recovery of Gray Ratsnake, Blanding’s Turtle and other species at risk including the development of a landowner stewardship manual; o Conducting and reporting on spring surveys for both species, including observations of possible road mortality across Johnston Point to provide information on where the species may be present and to determine possible seasonal movements; o Retaining a qualified professional to carry out conditions of the permit; and o Communicating mortality events and reviewing mitigation efforts to increase protection as necessary. The permit requires 1324789 Ontario Inc. to undertake a combination of actions for species’ recovery to achieve an overall benefit to the species, within a reasonable time, including: Gray Ratsnake (Frontenac Axis Population) o Constructing and monitoring two (2) nest boxes to contribute to habitat enhancement, harm reduction and increased reproductive success for Gray Ratsnake; o Erecting warning signs along roads in the known habitat area to increase awareness of the species and alert drivers of snake presence to help reduce road mortality; and o Providing educational initiatives to increase awareness and promote the protection and recovery of the species.
Page 132 of 211
Blanding’s Turtle o Improving basking habitat opportunities by anchoring and maintaining two (2) basking logs within a wetland and erecting warning signs to prevent boaters from disturbing the species; and o Dedicating approximately half of an island which is .31 hectares in size as turtle refuge by providing suitable substrate to support nesting habitat and increase reproductive success and ensuring development is prohibited and human activities are restricted by installing fencing. Due to the scoped design of the project as well as the multiple actions to minimize adverse effects, few, and potentially no Gray Ratsnake or Blanding’s Turtle are expected to be impacted. Making nests available to Gray Ratsnake at a nearby location so the species is less likely to cross the road and placing warning signs along public roads will reduce road mortality, a key threat, and provide an overall benefit to the species by increasing its reproductive success. Performing educational initiatives to increase awareness of the species will help address one of the government-supported actions identified in Ontario’s Government Response Statement for Gray Ratsnake related to increasing public awareness of Gray Ratsnake and encouraging more positive behavior by Ontarians toward the species. Providing basking and nesting features for Blanding’s Turtle, where habitat variety is currently fairly low (e.g., water is open, minimal substrate available for nesting on the island) an overall benefit will be achieved by increasing basking and nesting opportunities for the species. A government response statement has been published under subsection 11(8) of the Endangered Species Act with respect to Gray Ratsnake; this statement can be accessed through the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry Species at Risk website: https://www.ontario.ca/page/gray-ratsnake-government-response-statement The government response statement for Gray Ratsnake was considered in the development of the permit, and the permit conditions align with actions in the government response statement: o Action 1. (High) Research and implement methods for reducing significant threats, including road mortality and human persecution, and evaluate their effectiveness; o Action 2. (High) Refine and promote best management practices for landowners and land managers to protect and recover the Gray Ratsnake; o Action 8. Evaluate existing communications and outreach approaches and develop new strategies that will have a positive impact on people’s behaviour; o Action 9. Deliver effective communications and outreach to key stakeholders, including landowners, cottage associations and schools within the range of Gray Ratsnake; o Government-led action of encouraging the submission of Gray Ratsnake data to the Ministry’s central repository; and o Government-led action of supporting partners in undertaking activities to protect and recover Gray Ratsnake, including support provided through permits (including conditions). To date, a government response statement has not yet been published under subsection 11(8) of the Endangered Species Act with respect to Blanding’s Turtle. Other Information: The proposed works has the potential to adversely affect Gray Ratsnake (Frontenac Axis Population) and Blanding’s Turtle and their habitat. The proposed permit conditions would provide benefits that exceed the adverse effects on Gray Ratsnake
Page 133 of 211
(Frontenac Axis Population) and Blanding’s Turtle. Gray Ratsnake (Frontenac Axis Population) and Blanding’s Turtle are listed on the Species at Risk in Ontario (SARO) List, in Ontario Regulation 230/08 of the ESA, as threatened. Subsection 9(1) of the ESA provides for the protection of endangered, threatened (and extirpated) species on the SARO List. Specific habitat of Gray Ratsnake (Frontenac Axis Population) has been prescribed by O. Reg. 242/08. General habitat protection under subsection 10(1) of the ESA applies to Blanding’s Turtle. The ESA allows some activities to proceed under a clause 17(2)(c) permit with specific conditions if: avoidance and reasonable alternatives have been considered; adverse effects will be minimized; and an overall benefit will be achieved for the species in Ontario. Providing an overall benefit to a protected species under the ESA involves undertaking actions to improve circumstances for the species in Ontario. Overall benefit is more than “no net loss” or an exchange of “like for like”. Overall benefit is grounded in the protection and recovery of the species at risk and must include more than mitigation measures or “replacing” what is lost. The Minister may issue a permit under clause 17(2)(c) of the ESA that authorizes a person to engage in an activity that would otherwise be prohibited by section 9 or 10 of the ESA if the Minister is of the opinion that: (i) an overall benefit to the species will be achieved within a reasonable time through the conditions of the permit; (ii) reasonable alternatives have been considered, including alternatives that would not negatively affect the species, and the best alternative has been adopted; and, (iii) reasonable steps to minimize negative effects on individual members of the species are required by conditions of the permit. Reasonable alternatives are being considered, including ones that would not adversely affect the species, and may include: o Not proceeding with the new development; o Reducing the number of lots to be developed; and o Using alternate methods, equipment, designs, etc. to carry out the proposed activity. Potential approaches to minimize adverse effects on individual members of Gray Ratsnake (Frontenac Axis Population) may include: o Minimizing the amount of habitat damage and destruction; o Marking any habitat to be retained during and after construction to reduce the likelihood of impacting habitat and harming individual Gray Ratsnake (Frontenac Axis Population); o Instituting speed limits and posting impact avoidance signage on the access road to reduce mortality and harm; o Undertaking awareness training for employees so that they are aware of the species presence and habitat to be retained, as well as what actions to take if a Gray Ratsnake (Frontenac Axis Population) is encountered; and o Developing a Condominium Environmental Committee to support species at risk including the development of a landowner stewardship manual.
Page 134 of 211
Potential approaches to minimize adverse effects on individual members of Blanding’s Turtle may include: o Minimizing the amount of habitat damage and destruction; o Avoid undertaking activities that may impact the species during sensitive times of year (e.g. hibernation); o Installing permanent exclusion fencing and an ecopassage on the access road to discourage road crossing as well as instituting speed limits and posting impact avoidance signage to reduce mortality and harm; o Undertaking awareness training for employees so that they are aware of the species presence and habitat to be retained, as well as what actions to take if a Blanding’s Turtle is encountered; and o Developing a Condominium Environmental Committee to support species at risk including the development of a landowner stewardship manual. Potential approaches to achieve an overall benefit for Gray Ratsnake (Frontenac Axis Population) may include: o Building and monitoring nest boxes to contribute to habitat enhancement for Gray Ratsnake (Frontenac Axis Population) in the Frontenac Arch; o Erecting warning signs to help reduce road mortality; and o Providing educational and protection initiatives to increase awareness and promote the protection and recovery of the species. Potential approaches to achieve an overall benefit for Blanding’s Turtle may include: o Improving existing habitat by creating new habitat features such as basking logs and nesting substrate. Please note that the posting of this proposal on the Environmental Registry does not imply that a permit will be approved; a permit may only be issued where the legal requirements set out in clause 17(2)(c) of the ESA have been satisfied.

DECISION DELIVERED BY M.A. SILLS AND ORDER OF THE TRIBUNAL [1]
1278804 Ontario Inc. (the “Proponent”) has appealed from the failure of the
County of Frontenac (the “County”) to make a decision in respect to a proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision (the “Draft Plan”), and from the failure of the Township of South Frontenac (the “Township”) to enact an amendment to Zoning By-law No. 2003-75 (the “ZBA”) for the lands described as Part of Lot 7, Concession 7 in the Geographic Township of Portland, now in the Township of South Frontenac (the “subject lands/property/site”). [2]
This hearing was convened and conducted by the Ontario Municipal Board (the
“Board”). However, on April 3, 2018, the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal Act, 2017 (“LPATA”) was proclaimed, which provides that the Board will be continued as the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the “Tribunal”). Because this Decision is issued after the proclamation of LPATA, it is issued by the Tribunal. [3]
The subject lands comprise 44.45 hectares (“ha”) and are located partially within
the Hartington “Settlement Area” designation and partly within the Rural (RU) designation of the Township Official Plan (the “TOP), and are currently zoned Rural “RU” Zone by the Township Zoning By-law No. 2003-75 (the “ZBL”). The Rural (RU)
3
Page 138 of 211 PL160168
Zone permits a range of uses including agricultural and related uses, single detached dwellings, and other uses which are compatible with the rural area. A plan of subdivision is permitted in both designations. [4]
The proposed subdivision comprises the northern most 11.82 ha of the subject
property, with a narrow portion extending southward for stormwater management. The Draft Plan would divide the subdivision lands into 13 lots for single detached residential dwellings that will front onto a cul-de-sac road. The proposed lots will range in size from 0.8 to 0.92 ha and each will have road frontage of 46 metres (“m”). Each dwelling will be serviced by an individual private well and septic system. A single road will traverse the middle of the property on the north-south axis, providing access to the proposed lots. A right-of-way will continue south along the same trajectory as the road for stormwater management purposes. The proposed subdivision is located within the hamlet of Hartington. The site is currently vacant. [5]
The proposed ZBA would rezone the (northern) portion of the property which falls
entirely within the Hartington Settlement Area from Rural (RU) to Site Specific Residential (R) Zone. The site-specific zoning reduces the minimum required road frontage from 76 m to 46 m. The remainder of the property will remain undeveloped and in the Rural (RU) Zone. [6]
The County is the approval authority for plans of subdivision. The Township is
the approval authority for the ZBA, and acts as a commenting agency, providing a recommendation to the County in respect to plans of subdivision. Subsequent to the filing of these appeals County Council approved the Draft Plan with conditions. [7]
On consent, abutting farm property owner Steven Leonard was granted
Participant status.

Site Context [9]
The hamlet of Hartington is approximately 20 kilometers north of the City of
Kingston. The subject property fronts onto Boyce Road west of the Boyce RoadHighway 38 intersection at the north and Petworth Road west of the Petworth RoadHighway 38 intersection to the south. [10]
Surrounding land uses include residential, commercial, community facility and
agricultural. A municipal drainage ditch, the Pleasant Valley Municipal Drain System (the “PVMD”), traverses the property east to west at about the midpoint of the parcel. The PVMD serves an upstream drainage area which takes in the majority of the northerly portion of the property and the Hartington Settlement Area. The KingstonPembroke Trail (the “K&P Trail”) borders the entire eastern boundary of the property. The K&P Trail is a former rail line converted to recreational trail extending approximately 46 kilometers from downtown Kingston to White Lake in the Township of Central Frontenac. A small wooded area is located on the central west side of the property. There is a farm property located across Boyce Road to the north, and a livestock operation on adjacent lands to the west (the “Leonard Property”). Chronology of the Proposal [11]
The development proposal was first introduced by the Proponent at an informal
pre-consultation meeting with the Township on November 13, 2012. On December 15, 2012, a concept plan of subdivision showing 50 lots was circulated to the County, along with a request for formal pre-consultation.

The Draft Plan application, accompanied by the reports/studies listed below, was
submitted to the County on November 15, 2013 and deemed complete on November 28, 2013: •
Planning Cover Letter (November 8, 2013) prepared by Forefront Engineering (November 8, 2013);
•
Stage 1 – 2 Archaeological Assessment prepared by Archaeoworks Inc. (September 16, 2013);
•
Environment Impact Study (“EIS”) prepared by Ecological Services (August 27, 2013);
•
Preliminary Stormwater Management Report prepared by Forefront Engineering (October 2013); and,
•
Hydrogeological Study, Servicing Options and Terrain Analysis prepared by ASC Environmental (October 31, 2013).
[13]
The original Draft Plan application proposed 49 residential lots for single
detached dwellings, the majority of which would front onto a new north-south municipal road extending from Boyce Road to Petworth Road; a stormwater management block; and, two open space blocks. [14]
A revision to the Draft Plan in March 2014 reduced the number of residential lots
to 47. The reduction of two residential lots facilitated an expansion of the PVMD, increased the parkland area, and improved the hydrogeological assessment. [15]
The ZBA application was filed with the Township in June 2015. The Draft Plan
and proposed ZBA were presented by the Proponent’s planning consultant at a public meeting held on July 7, 2015. During this meeting, members of the public and Township Council voiced considerable concern/opposition to the proposal. The express concerns primarily related to water quantity and quality, drainage and flooding, the
7
Page 142 of 211 PL160168
effect of the proposal on agriculture and nearby farming operations, lot frontages and aesthetics. Another point of contention was that the proposed Draft Plan extended beyond the boundary of the Settlement Area. [16]
In response to these concerns, the Proponent reduced the scale of the
development from 47 to 13 lots, all within the hamlet designation. The revised Draft Plan proposes to divide the northern-most 11.82 ha of the subject lands into 13 residential lots fronting onto a north-south cul-de-sac road extending from Boyce Road and terminating at the end of proposed Lots 6 and 7. This iteration of the proposal retained the original park and stormwater management blocks from the previous 47-lot plan. The revised Draft Plan was presented to Township Council on August 4, 2015. [17]
At about this same time, a group of concerned local residents retained McIntosh
Perry Consulting Engineers to conduct a peer review of the Hydrogeology Study and associated communications that had been circulated between the Proponent’s hydrogeologist, the County’s peer reviewer, the QCA and the Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addition Health Unit (the “Health Unit”). [18]
A subsequent modification to the proposal (September 2015) removed all the
non-residential blocks, thereby, restricting the Draft Plan to the 13 residential lots (the “development site”) located within the Hartington Settlement Area, plus the linear storm water block connecting the development to the PVMD. Cash-in-lieu would now be provided in place of the previously planned parkland blocks. [19]
In October 2015, a Planning Brief prepared by Mr. Keene, a formal copy of the
Revised Draft Plan and a summary of the addendum studies/reports listed below were provided to the County and the Township: •
Hydrogeology Addendum prepared by ASC Environmental (dated October 2, 2015) which indicated that the water quantity and quality and interference levels of the site were suitable for the proposed 13-lot subdivision;
8 •
Page 143 of 211 PL160168
Addendum to the Preliminary Stormwater Management Report prepared by Forefront Engineering Inc. (dated August 10, 2015) which detailed stormwater management measures for the Revised Proposal; and,
•
Traffic Impact Review prepared by AECOM (dated September 2, 2015) which concluded that the additional traffic generated by the Revised Draft Plan represents less than 10% of the total traffic along Highway 38. This report concluded that with such low volumes of new traffic, no impact to the existing traffic operations is expected.
[20]
A November 18, 2015 report prepared by the Township planner containing a list
of recommended conditions of Draft Approval was provided at a Committee of the Whole meeting on November 24, 2015. This report recommended that the proposed conditions be reviewed and forwarded to the County Council as the Township’s recommended Conditions of Draft Plan Approval. However, prior to the December 1, 2015 Council meeting the Proponent was informed by Township staff that Council would not be asked to make a recommendation to the County at this time because there were outstanding matters yet to be addressed. The primary concern was the potential risk of mitigation of hydrocarbons from a nearby closed gas station. Reportedly, the Township had asked its consultant to look into the impacts of this property on nearby development. [21]
The Township Planner provided a further planning report at the January 19, 2016
Council meeting which contained slightly revised conditions, but continuing to recommend Draft Plan Approval and the forwarding of the proposed conditions to the County. However, citing that new information regarding ground water and soil contamination on a nearby property had come to its attention, Council declined to discuss the application at this meeting. [22]
The new information came in the form of a January 18, 2016 letter from
Specialized Onsite Services Inc. (“SOS”). SOS was contracted by the Township in early 2015 to assess potential contamination at a former gas station property in the
9
Page 144 of 211 PL160168
hamlet. The content of this letter generally repeated the information contained in a letter provided to the Township in September 2015, including that, the ground water flow from the site was to the northeast and south (away from the proposed development); the ground water flow velocity rate is slow; and, the risk of groundwater contamination to sites in excess of 500 m from the contamination site is relatively low. This letter also recommends that the Township establish a clean perimeter of wells and monitor these wells until the site is remediated. It is further understood that mitigation measures and monitoring by the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (“MOECC”) is ongoing. [23]
For context purposes, the former gas station property is situated at the southeast
corner of Highway 38 and Holleford Road, and is now owned by the Township. This property is currently vacant, but prior to being purchased by the Township in about 2010 maintained a two-storey building which operated as a convenience store and gas bar. The property is bounded by a commercial property to the south, the Township Fire Hall to the east, Highway 38 to the west and Holleford Road to the north. Leaked fuel from the underground supply tanks buried to the south of the former building was identified as the source of localized ground contamination. The Proponent’s lands are located at a distance of approximately 300 m, and separated from the Township’s property by the K&P Trail, Highway 38 and other commercial and residential properties, including another gas station. [24]
At a meeting on March 1, 2016, Township Council set aside the recommendation
of its planner, and instead passed the following resolution: That Council defer this matter and instruct the township to engage an independent environmental consulting firm to review the reports that have been submitted to date and make a determination on the water quality and quality in the proposed development and surroundings areas and make recommendations as to any testing or monitoring that should be conducted.
[25]
On August 24, 2016, County Council endorsed the approval of the Hartington
subdivision development and adopted Conditions of Draft Pan Approval.

PLANNING EVIDENCE The Proponent: [26]
Mr. Keene was retained by the Proponent in August 2014, and has been actively
engaged in all aspects of the application and planning approvals process since that time. [27]
Mr. Keene submits that the development proposal as demonstrated by the Draft
Plan, and the proposed ZBA are consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014 (“PPS”); conform to the policies of the County Official Plan (“COP”) and the TOP; meet the criteria enumerated in s. 51(24) of the Planning Act (the “Act”); represent good land use planning; and is in the public interest. In his opinion the level of study undertaken to date is sufficient for the granting of Draft Plan Approval with conditions, and for the adoption of the required ZBA. [28]
Mr. Keene reported that as a result of the concern that the original plan of
subdivision was located partially within the Settlement Area and partly within the rural area, on his recommendation the Proponent agreed to reduce the subdivision to 13 residential lots, all of which are to be located within the existing hamlet boundary. Any future development of the excluded lands will trigger further consultation with County and Township Council and staff, authority agencies, and the public. [29]
In regard to the issue of the Settlement Area boundary raised by Mr. Goodreid
and adopted by Mr. Dorfman, Mr. Keene first identified that the lot fabric shown on the TOP and ZBL Schedules are different from the lot fabric which actually exists in the area. Secondly, the subject lands are uniformly zoned ‘Rural’, meaning there is no distinction between lands inside and outside of the Settlement Area. More significantly, the Settlement Area boundary is intended to be flexible. In that respect, contrary to the position being taken by Mr. Goodreid a comprehensive review is not necessary because the Settlement Area boundary is not being expanded. That being said, by his calculation the southern boundary of the Hartington Settlement Area is at a distance of
11
Page 146 of 211 PL160168
416 m from Boyce Road; the southern-most limit of the residential component of the proposal (Lot 7) is 392 m from Boyce Road. [30]
Mr. Keene agrees that the stormwater management block extends outside the
Settlement Area boundary. This, he said, is permitted under both the TOP and the ZBL; non-residential components of the subdivision are not required to be located within the Settlement Area boundary. Moreover, the proposed stormwater management works will be conveyed to the Township for the purpose of providing a public service, that being, directing stormwater runoff to the PVMD. The PVMD is located on the Proponent’s lands but not included in the proposed subdivision. The TOP (s. 6.7) and the Township’s ZBL (s. 5.17.2) establish that, with the exception of the ‘Agricultural’ designation and the ‘Environmental Protection Area/Wetland Zone’, stormwater management works are permitted in any designation and zoning category in the Township. The location being proposed for the stormwater works is not designated Agricultural and is not in an Environmental Protection Area/Wetland Zone. [31]
Likewise, the proposed road cul-de-sac (Block 14) will be conveyed to the
Township as a public street. It is not necessary to either zone a public street, or to regulate a public street through the ZBL (s. 5.17.2): Nothing in this By-law shall prevent the use of any land as…, a public street.
[32]
Turning to the planning merits of the proposal, Mr. Keene views the proposal as
a unique opportunity for intensification within an established settlement area. The PPS, the COP and the TOP promote development/intensification and encourage efficient use of land and infrastructure in designated settlement areas. The TOP designates settlement areas and determines their boundaries. The lands proposed to be subdivided are within the Hartington Settlement Area and are currently vacant. [33]
The proposal provides for a better and more efficient use of vacant lands utilizing
existing infrastructure and local servicing availability. At the same time, the development proposal has been carefully designed to ensure that future growth on the
12
Page 147 of 211 PL160168
adjacent lands, including the southern portion of the Proponent’s lands, will not be impeded. Equally important, the proposal introduces a compatible form of housing that will support and contribute to the vitality and continued success of the established Hartington community. [34]
Residential development in settlement areas must meet the minimum lot area
requirement (0.8 ha) and otherwise be compatible with the existing land uses. With the exception of the Village of Sydenham which has a municipal water supply, all servicing in the Township is by private water supply and sewage treatment systems; private communal systems are prohibited. The proposed subdivision provides large lots that meet the minimum size requirement of the TOP and are of sufficient size to accommodate a private well and septic system (including a back-up tile bed), as well as allow for a variety of individual building designs and accessory uses such as a swimming pool. [35]
The proposal will add to the supply, range and mix of housing opportunities
available in the Township. The type of residential development being proposed is desirable and appropriate to meet the needs of the Township and the scale, built-form, and lot fabric of the proposed subdivision is compatible with existing development and the prevailing character of the local rural community. The subdivision offers high quality lots and attractive homes to meet the needs of people looking to live in the rural area, while at the same time, is conveniently located to services being provided to and by the Hartington community. [36]
The planned development is well situated to take advantage of existing municipal
infrastructure and is sustainable at existing servicing levels for police, fire, and emergency medical services, garbage collection and public works/road maintenance. The subdivision properties are in proximity and easily accessible to first responders via existing municipal roads and the subdivision pathway connection to the K&P Trail will allow passage of emergency service vehicles. There are a number of schools located in proximity to the subdivision and Highway 38 is a primary route for school buses.
13 [37]
Page 148 of 211 PL160168
The proposed new road connecting the lots in the subdivision to Boyce Road and
the concrete sidewalk extending from Boyce Road to the southern extent of Lot 7 will be constructed to municipal standards at the expense of the developer, and subsequently conveyed to the Township. The subdivision is located near, and is easily accessed from, Highway 38, a major north-south road providing access between Kingston/Highway 401 and Highway 7. The Traffic Study and modeling indicates that the traffic generated by the subdivision can be aptly accommodated on existing municipal roads, with no improvements to the municipal road network being required. [38]
From an environmental and terrain perspective, the Draft Plan does not situate
dwellings on lands impacted by flooding or erosion hazards, and the abutting lands are not affected by natural hazards. The subject lands are generally flat with few trees and were formerly used as cropland. The topography of the lands will generally be maintained and efforts will be made to preserve existing trees. Reforestation will take place where appropriate. [39]
The EIS identified there are no natural heritage features of significance on the
subject lands. The proposed subdivision will not preclude or hinder either the expansion or continued use of mineral mining, mineral aggregate or petroleum operations. The Archaeological Report identified that no archaeological resources were found on the property and the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport has provided clearance of architectural interest in the property. [40]
The proposed development will not displace or otherwise interfere with any
existing agricultural or agricultural-related uses in the Township. In regard to the Minimum Distance Separation (“MDS”) related concern of an abutting farm operator, Mr. (Steven) Leonard, Mr. Keene pointed out that the proposed subdivision will not have any bearing on his ability to expand his livestock operation. Firstly, MDS 1 does not apply to lands within a Settlement Area. Secondly, lands outside the Settlement Area are required to meet the MDS 2 requirement, in which case the distance is measured from the Settlement Area boundary. Moreover, there are already at least four homes closer to his livestock facility than any of the homes proposed by the Draft Plan. In
14
Page 149 of 211 PL160168
regard to the concern about possible nuisance complaints, Mr. Keene confirmed the subdivision agreement will include a cautionary clause notifying prospective purchasers of the subdivision homes of potential exposure to farm-related odours and agricultural activities. [41]
Mr. Keene asserts Mr. Dorfman’s characterization of Hartington as a crossroads
community similar to Spaffordton, Railton and Wilmer is fundamentally flawed. Distinct from those communities, Hartington has a range and variety of residential densities and a mix of land uses including commercial establishments, community facilities, a museum, and public open space. The three villages referred to by Mr. Dorfman are much smaller and comprised of only a handful of residential lots, and possibly one or two non-residential uses. In any event, Settlement Area designations are established in the TOP and regardless of ‘character’, new development is both encouraged and permitted in this designation. [42]
In reply to Mr. Dorfman’s arguments about reduced density and estate lots, Mr.
Keene pointed out that it is standard for rural lots on private water and sewer servicing to have an area of at least 0.8 ha. The COP and the TOP establishes 0.8 ha as the minimum lot area requirement for privately serviced properties. Mr. Keene said the implication by Mr. Dorfman that lot creation within the Settlement Area will inevitably be inconsistent with the existing lot fabric leads to an absurd situation whereby, although new development is to be directed to Settlement Areas, new development is not permitted in the Settlement Area because it is not consistent with the existing character. [43]
In response to concerns about the potential contamination of local wells by the
former gas station property, Mr. Keene confirmed the wells on the development site have been re-tested for hydrocarbons and were deemed clean. Moreover, the Conditions of Draft Plan Approval require that all subdivision wells be further assessed for water quality and quantity by a qualified hydrogeologist. Each subdivision well will be evaluated for nitrate and nitrite concentrations and neighbouring wells will be monitored during the test pumping. The Subdivision Agreement will require that prefiltration and disinfection is included in the drinking water systems in order to maintain a
15
Page 150 of 211 PL160168
bacterial-free water supply. If elevated chloride or sodium levels are detected, the Proponent is required to report these findings to the Medical Officer of Health. [44]
Mr. Keene also pointed out that an application for a privately serviced plan of
subdivision is required to meet the MOECC Guidelines and approval authority standards, and must be accompanied by preliminary stormwater management/drainage plan prepared by a qualified expert. The studies that have been completed by the Proponent’s expert exceed the MOECC requirements and protocols and was extensively scrutinized and subsequently approved by two peer reviewers, and cleared for Draft Approval by the QCA. [45]
A Preliminary Stormwater Management Report was prepared and has been
updated to reflect the 13-lot Draft Plan. This report provides recommendations for quantity and quality control of stormwater run-off, namely a linear stormwater management facility extending south towards the PVMD. Detailed stormwater management and grading plans will be prepared as part of the Final Stormwater Management Report (the “Final Report”). The Final Report with accompanying detailed engineering drawings addressing grading, drainage and stormwater management to the satisfaction of the Township and the QCA is required as a Condition of Draft Plan Approval. [46]
Mr. Keene reported that a geotechnical analysis was recently completed which
confirms the area is not karst. He pointed out that if this area were karst, this analysis would have identified key factors that would have triggered further consideration by all of the experts retained by the Proponent. As the investigative work did not uncover ‘warning signs’, a Geotechnical Study was not undertaken. It is common for geotechnical studies to be required as part of the Final Plan of Subdivision Approval, particularly where a road is proposed. In a case where a Geotechnical Study is deemed necessary, it is appropriate to require it as a Condition of Final Approval. [47]
In Mr. Keene’s opinion the issues and concerns identified through the technical
circulations period following review of the application by the relevant County and
16
Page 151 of 211 PL160168
Township departments, public authorities and peer review agencies, and the concerns identified by members of the community group and Township Council have been sufficiently addressed for the granting of Draft Plan Approval. [48]
In this case, the level of study undertaken to date well exceeds the level of detail
required for Draft Plan Approval, and the applied Conditions of Draft Plan Approval go beyond what is typically deemed acceptable and/or necessary. In particular, the current proposal has undergone substantial study and peer review to evaluate the potential environmental and health and safety impacts of the planned development. Through this work it has been demonstrated that with proper mitigation measures there will be no remarkable adverse impact to adjacent property owners or the greater Hartington community. Of particular significance, the hydrogeological work completed to date demonstrates the proposed development is not expected to compromise the supply or quality of local drinking water. [49]
Lastly, Mr. Keene emphasized that Draft Plan Approval simply means the merits
of the proposal have been evaluated against such criteria as conformity with the official plan(s); compatibility with adjacent land uses; the suitability of the lands for the proposed purpose, including the size and shape of lots; and the adequacy of vehicular access, water supply, sewage disposal and stormwater management. The proposal must be consistent with the PPS. When it is determined that the proposal satisfies this criterion, Draft Plan Approval can be given. As it is in this case, Draft Plan approval is typically conditional and essentially amounts to a commitment to go ahead with the proposed subdivision, once, and only if, all the conditions of Draft Plan Approval have been satisfied. When all conditions have been fulfilled, Final Approval is given and the plan of subdivision is registered in the provincial land titles system. Once the lots have been registered the transfers can take place and the lots can be developed. The County: [50]
Mr. Gallivan is the County’s Director of Planning and was the primary author of
the COP. The COP was developed through extensive consultation with citizens,
17
Page 152 of 211 PL160168
Township Councils and staff, Conservation Authorities and Provincial Ministries. The COP was adopted by County Council on October 15, 2014, and subsequently approved by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing on January 11, 2016. [51]
It is his professional opinion that the development application is consistent with
the policy objectives of the PPS, in conformity with the COP and the TOP, and satisfies the criteria established in s. 51(24) of the Act. Subject to satisfying the prescribed Conditions of Draft Plan Approval, the proposed subdivision represents good planning and is in the public interest. [52]
Mr. Gallivan pointed out that the COP is not a prescriptive document, nor is it
meant “to interfere with those planning matters which are considered to be the responsibility of the local municipalities”. Rather, the COP establishes a vision and sets out general direction for planning and development in the County. Essentially, the COP’s intent is to “set the context for planning in the County as a whole and provide regional direction on planning issues” (s. 1.2). The local official plans complement the COP by providing detailed strategies, policies and land use designations for planning and development at the local level. [53]
For context purposes: the County is comprised of four lower-tier municipalities
(the Townships of South, Central and North Frontenac and Frontenac Islands) and has one of the lowest populations of all counties in Eastern Ontario. The County’s population (26,600) is spread out over a large geographic area (4,000 square kilometers), which accounts for the low population density. [54]
Mr. Gallivan advised that the current demographic trend in the County is that the
number of retirees and seasonal residents is increasing, while younger people continue to move away to larger urban centres. Mr. Gallivan conveyed to the Tribunal that the County is looking to attract more new permanent residents, in particular, younger residents. In this respect, the TOP establishes Settlement Area policies which envision new residential development in its villages and hamlets as an opportunity for community rejuvenation. It is his view that the population increase expected to result from the
18
Page 153 of 211 PL160168
proposed subdivision, by his estimation between 25 and 40 residents, is a welcome opportunity for community rejuvenation. [55]
The PPS promotes efficient land use patterns which sustain the financial well-
being of the Province and municipalities over the long term (s. 1.1.1). Settlement Areas are to be the focus of growth and development, and their vitality and regeneration are to be promoted (s. 1.1.3.1). New development taking place in designated growth areas should occur adjacent to the existing built-up area and allow for the efficient use of land, infrastructure and public service facilities (s. 1.1.3.6). The development proposal is consistent with these policy objectives. [56]
The COP leaves the designation of settlement areas, including the determination
of their boundaries to the lower-tier municipalities. The TOP establishes the intent for a majority of the new development growth to be directed to existing settlement areas where it can be supported by appropriate servicing (s. 5.6). Hartington has been established as a settlement area since the TOP was approved in 2003. The lands that are proposed to be developed as a residential subdivision are located entirely within the boundary of the Hartington Settlement Area. [57]
The PPS, the COP and the TOP encourage development patterns and road
connections to optimize public services and make efficient use of land and resources. The proposed residential subdivision is situated immediately adjacent to existing village development and relatively close to the intersection of Boyce Road and Highway 38, which is generally considered to be the centre of the hamlet. [58]
Mr. Gallivan advised that as part of the review process the technical studies
related to water quality and quantity, stormwater management, and the traffic impact report were extensively reviewed by County staff, and where specialized expertise was required, peer reviewers were retained. In this case, the County retained a hydrogeologist/geoscientist (John Pyke) to peer-review these studies and related reports, and to make recommendations.
19 [59]
Page 154 of 211 PL160168
The proposed subdivision will be serviced by individual private wells and septic
systems. The County’s hydrogeological peer reviewer advises that the lands are suitable for private servicing. The Health Unit has confirmed that all 13 of the proposed development lots are of adequate form and dimension to accommodate private servicing at required separation distances, including the Class 4 leaching bed system prescribed by the Ontario Building Code (the “OBC”). [60]
To accord with the recommendation of the County’s hydrogeological consultant,
as an added measure of protection, a tertiary treatment system will be installed on each residential lot in the subdivision. By way of explanation, the waste exiting a tertiary treatment system is reduced to about 1/10 the strength of what the regular Class 4 system would release. In keeping with this, as a Condition of Draft Plan Approval the Subdivision Agreement will contain a provision requiring that each lot owner be provided with an information package outlining the nature, operation and maintenance requirements of this type of sewage system. [61]
In response to concerns raised by the Harrington Community Association
(“HCA”), the County directed Mr. Pyke to meet with MOECC officials and to undertake an independent review of the hydrogeological studies completed on behalf of the Township for the former gas station lands. Mr. Pyke recommended additional precautionary measures which have been accepted by the Proponent and are incorporated into the Conditions of Draft Plan Approval. Included in these conditions is a requirement for additional water testing and hydrogeological assessment of each well in the subdivision for water quality and quantity. [62]
In respect of the issue of the settlement boundary, Mr. Gallivan pointed out that
the TOP explicitly establishes that boundaries are intended to be flexible (s. 9.0): It is intended that the boundaries of any kind of land use designation shown on Schedule ‘A’ be considered as approximate only, except where bounded by such features as existing roads, railways, rivers or other natural features … It will not be necessary to make amendments to the Official Plan for minor variations in the approximate boundaries provided that the intent of the Plan is preserved.
20 [63]
Page 155 of 211 PL160168
Mr. Gallivan rebuffs Mr. Dorfman’s characterization of Hartington as a
“crossroads community”, and his statement that Hartington is “clearly a rural community without a mix of land uses for the purpose of interpreting the PPS 2014”. The PPS defines settlement areas as “built up areas where development is concentrated and which have a mix of land uses”, and “lands which have been designated in an official plan for development over the long-term planning horizon”. Mr. Gallivan pointed out that unlike the other “crossroads” communities referenced by Mr. Dorfman, Hartington has a variety of development types and community servicing including a gas station/convenience store, a public library and museum, a car wash, a commuter parking lot and a fire station. Moreover, Hartington is a designated settlement area. [64]
Mr. Gallivan also rejects Mr. Dorfman’s notion that “Hartington is not intended as
a primary population growth settlement area” in the Township. Both the COP and the TOP direct new growth to settlement areas. Hartington is a designated settlement area. The Hartington community is established along Highway 38, one of the major north/south transportation spines in the County. Highway 38 provides direct access to the City of Kingston and is a primary transportation corridor between Kingston/Highway 401 to Highway 7. Hartington is within a comfortable commute of City-related service facilities, amenities and employment opportunities. From this, it can logically be anticipated that new residential development will occur in Hartington. Parenthetically, both the County and the Township support the principle that new residential subdivision development occurring in a designated settlement area is preferable to this type of development taking place in the rural designation. The Township: [65]
Mr. Goodreid was retained by the Township to provide land use planning
evidence at this hearing after the planning analysis and recommendations of the Township planner was rejected by Council. [66]
In the course of the hearing, the Proponent and the County agreed to a number
of the additions/revisions to the proposed Conditions of Draft Plan Approval
21
Page 156 of 211 PL160168
recommended by Mr. Goodreid. As a result of these concessions, Mr. Goodreid’s only remaining issue is the matter of the delineation of the Hartington Settlement Area boundary. By his calculation Lots 6 and 7 and Part of Lot 8 (residential lots), Block 14 (cul-de-sac road) and Block 15 (stormwater management facility) are outside of the Hartington Settlement Area boundary. Mr. Goodreid maintains the southern boundary is determined by measurement from Boyce Road. [67]
It is his position that the Draft Plan is not permitted to extend beyond the
Settlement Area boundary. In that regard, the PPS establishes that an expansion of a settlement area may only occur at the time of a comprehensive review. The COP establishes that Settlement Area Boundary Expansions are to be determined by the local official plan and shall require an amendment to the official plan. There has not been a comprehensive review undertaken that would allow an expansion to the Settlement of Hartington, nor has an amendment to the TOP been approved. [68]
Mr. Goodreid submits that while the principle of residential subdivision
development is established within the Settlement Area designation, this form of development is not supported outside the Settlement Area boundary. Furthermore, it has not been demonstrated why the subdivision and linear stormwater management facility cannot be contained within the Settlement Area boundary. The scope of the Settlement Area boundary expansion that would be required in this case is not a minor variation. In his opinion, there is no justification for extending the boundary to accommodate this development. [69]
Mr. Goodreid takes the position that the Hartington Settlement Area boundary as
represented on Schedule A of the TOP should be delineated on the Draft Plan and form the southerly limit of development. In his opinion, only the stormwater management outlet to the PVMD should be allowed to be located outside the Settlement boundary. This would require that the number of residential lots be reduced.
22
Page 157 of 211 PL160168
The HCA: [70]
Mr. Dorfman was retained by the HCA in June 2016. In his opinion, the
development proposal is not good planning, it is not in the public interest, and it should not be approved. [71]
Mr. Dorfman described Hartington as a predominantly rural residential
municipality with hardly any commercial lands and uses. The Hartington community was established in the 1850s and has not experienced significant residential growth since that time. By his count there are 118 people currently residing in two farm-related and 43 non-farm related dwellings within the Hartington Settlement Area. According to Mr. Dorfman it is this slow growth rate that establishes the continuing character of the community. The scale of development being proposed will change that character. In his opinion, the proposed development will prejudice the existing character of the community and is not beneficial in maintaining its traditional sense of place. [72]
The subject lands have been used for agricultural purposes for the past 150
years. The land use pattern in Hartington is based on the historic road configuration. The proposal creates a new street with thirteen dwellings that do not relate to a significant majority of the existing dwelling stock. The proposed subdivision would be the first ever significant residential change and the first new public roadway in this community since the mid 1800s. The scale of development being proposed will change the character of the Settlement Area by creating a new public street with dwellings that do not relate to a significant majority of the existing dwelling stock. In his opinion, if the proposed subdivision is approved and built the Hartington Settlement Area will no longer be defined as a traditional “crossroads community”. [73]
The PPS promotes intensification in designated settlement areas. In this case,
rather than to increase the residential density of the Hartington Settlement Area, the proposal will result in a reduction in total density, contrary to the provincial interest. The existing net density of non-farm residential properties in the Hartington Settlement Area is 2.82 units per ha (“uph”). The net density of the proposed 13 residential lots is
23
Page 158 of 211 PL160168
1.24 uph. The existing development, together with the proposed development, will result in a net density of 2.17 uph. [74]
Mr. Dorfman maintains that growth throughout the County is intended to be quite
slow over the 25 year planning period. While admittedly it has not been explicitly set out, he maintains the majority of the planned growth in the Township is expected to occur in the villages of Sydenham, Harrowsmith and Verona. He interprets from this that Hartington is not intended as a primary population growth settlement area. [75]
The COP allocates 70% (3,500 persons) of the total estimated population growth
in the County to the year 2034 (5,000 persons) to the Township. This equates to an average of 140 persons per year. Based on a rate of 2.61 people per unit, the 13 new homes proposed to be created by the Draft Plan will increase the Hartington Settlement Area population by a total of 34 persons (29%), which he contends amounts to significant community growth. [76]
The COP sets out the planning framework for mixed-use and residential
development in existing settlement areas. These policies speak to efficient development patterns and road connections, and encourage mixed use development in settlement areas. The proposal does not meet these policies. The proposed subdivision is designed with large lots on a single public road that is 425 m in length, which in his opinion, is not an efficient pattern of development. [77]
The Residential Policies of the TOP establishes development criteria for single
detached dwellings (s. 5.6.1.) The relevant criterion in this case is; 1) private water supply and sanitary sewage disposal systems serviced in accordance with Section 6.1 of the TOP; 2) a minimum lot area of 0.8 ha; and, 3) development should be compatible with existing and proposed land uses. [78]
Mr. Dorfman contends the first criterion is not met because according to Messrs.
Ruland and Chard it has not demonstrated that the required water, sewage and stormwater servicing is sufficient to protect the health and safety of present and future
24
Page 159 of 211 PL160168
residents. In his view, this uncertainty is sufficient cause to not approve the proposal. The second criterion is a minimum requirement and is met. In terms of the third criterion, detail has not been provided about how the compatibility test is satisfied. In this regard, the requirement for a minimum 0.8 ha residential lot will decrease the total net density in the Settlement Area. Furthermore, requiring lots that are larger in area than existing lots changes the character of the established Settlement Area. It is his contention that from a land use planning perspective, creating “estate lots” in a historic settlement area is dysfunctional. HYRDROGEOLOGY, STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND DRAINAGE EVIDENCE The Proponent: [79]
Mr. Prinsen was retained by the Proponent in October 2012. He has expertise
and considerable experience in the design and engineering of civil and municipal infrastructure, including stormwater management works. [80]
A Preliminary Stormwater Management Report (the “Preliminary Report”)
prepared on the basis of a 47-lot plan of subdivision recommended a wet pond stormwater management facility for the lots proposed to be created north of the PVMD. An Addendum to the Preliminary Report (the “Addendum”) was prepared for the current 13-lot proposal. The Addendum recommends an interim 20 m linear stormwater management block (Block 15) as an extension of a proposed roadway. This scheme provides an option for the future provision of a permanent stormwater management facility in the location identified in the Preliminary Report. County and Township public works and planning staff were supportive of this scheme because it did not preclude future development of the adjacent lands. [81]
The proposed stormwater management block will accommodate a linear wet
pond facility and permit access to the PVMD for maintenance purposes. A supplementary preliminary sketch has now been prepared which demonstrates a wet pond facility concept that provides for 600 square metres (“sq m”) of permanent pool
25
Page 160 of 211 PL160168
storage and 700 sq m of extended detention and quality storage. These volumes exceed the storage capability of the north stormwater management facility originally proposed for the 47-lot concept. In that case, the facility was designed for 20 lots north of the PVMD which comprise an area twice as large as the 13-lot lot proposal. [82]
The Preliminary Report and Addendum include existing and preliminary
proposed grading information (detailed grading is not required at the draft plan stage). The existing grade of the development area ranges from 1 to 4 m above the grade at the PVMD; the proposed lots will be graded higher yet. The proposed lots and drainage will include flatter surfaces, swales, and ditch grades that will promote infiltration. Ditches and swales will generally be built up. The wet pond facility will be located above the high groundwater level and will be constructed with a clay lining. This facility will require the approval of the QCA, the Township and the MOECC. [83]
Mr. Prinsen said that although details about the stormwater management works
in the linear block have not been provided in the Addendum, the Proponent owns approximately 8 ha of vacant land between the development area and the PVMD which provides ample room for an appropriate facility. [84]
In response to concerns raised by Mr. Chard a revised Preliminary Report has
been advanced which provides additional information on the stormwater management facility and proposed grading, and includes a plan/profile of the proposed roadway and drainage system. This report demonstrates that site and ditch excavation and grading will generally be minor and above bedrock elevation. Some bedrock excavation is expected to be required for the stormwater management facility. The revised modelling and development design, inclusive of grading, drainage and stormwater management works, continues to demonstrate that stormwater management can be fully addressed. [85]
In regard to the concern that the runoff volume may increase and have negative
downstream impacts, Mr. Prinsen pointed out that no such concerns have been identified by Township staff or the QCA. Although delay peak flow analysis is not a specific requirement, the 100-year calculation and hydrograph in the original and
26
Page 161 of 211 PL160168
advanced modelling demonstrate that both pre-development and post development flows have negligible times of concentration. As required by the QCA and the MOECC post development flows will be limited to pre-development levels, and therefore, the proposed development will not exacerbate the need for maintenance or repair of the PVMD. [86]
Currently, there is drainage flow from the subject lands to the channel on the
adjacent property to the west (the Leonard property). It has been indicated that the property owner may not allow that to continue. Mr. Prinsen advised that if the use of that drain outlet (Outlet 2) cannot be satisfactorily resolved, drainage along the west side of the subject property can readily be redirected to the PVMD via an existing ditch extending northerly from the PVMD. [87]
Mr. Prinsen maintains the level of drainage and stormwater management study
undertaken to date goes beyond what is required for Draft Plan Approval. The Preliminary Report and Addendum addresses all issues and concerns that were raised throughout the technical circulation period following review of the application by the relevant County and Township departments, the QCA, public authorities and the peer review agencies. [88]
Furthermore, as a Condition of Draft Plan Approval a final Stormwater
Management Report with detailed engineering drawings addressing grading, drainage, and stormwater management will be required prior to final approval of the subdivision. This report will require the approval of the QCA and the Township, and will subject to review by the MOECC for Environmental Compliance Approval (“ECA”). [89]
Mr. Johnston was retained in 2012 to complete a Hydrogeological Study (the
“Study”) and terrain analysis for the subject lands. The specific purpose of this Study was to assess the hydrogeological suitability of the subject lands for a 49-lot rural residential development with individual wells and septic systems.
27 [90]
Page 162 of 211 PL160168
Mr. Johnston confirmed that investigative work far in excess of the MOECC D-5-
4 and D-5-5 Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) minimum requirements has been carried to support the hydrogeological site characterization and impact assessment of the proposed subdivision and the neighbouring lands. [91]
Essentially, the pumping tests, pre- and post- neighbouring well water surveys,
predictive interference/impact assessment analysis, and seasonal groundwater monitoring data demonstrate that the proposed subdivision will not adversely impact the quantity or quality of the drinking water supply of residents in the vicinity of the development area. In his opinion, the Study findings satisfy the MOECC protocols and support Draft Plan Approval. [92]
The investigative work completed to date demonstrates that there is sufficient
aquifer supply available to meet the daily domestic peak demand water needs of the subdivision, and that the quality and quantity of the drinking water supply of residents in the vicinity of the development area will not be adversely impacted by the proposal. [93]
The neighbouring properties and the subdivision lands primarily share the
limestone Gull River bedrock water supply aquifer. The subdivision is located in a recharge area where precipitation enters the subsurface and migrates downward into the regional limestone Gull River formation and the lower water bearing Precambrian formation. Based on pumping test results radial interference on existing neighbours is not significant (less than 1.0 m following two hours of peak demand pumping at distances greater than 100 m from the development area). For the most part, recharge through precipitation at the development area will be utilized by the subdivision properties. The limestone Gull River formation in the Hartington hamlet has been identified as moderately to highly sensitive to surficial impacts (reference: Eastern Cataraqui Regional Groundwater Study). The field work demonstrates there is ample water supply from the on-site recharge to sustain the proposed subdivision. [94]
Utilizing a filtration factor of 0.5 (50%) to assess recharge, there would 23 million
litres of groundwater recharge into the 11.85 ha development area, or almost three
28
Page 163 of 211 PL160168
times what the subdivision would require on an annual basis. This does not even take into account the approximately 1,000 litres per day per residence that would flow through the tertiary septic systems of the new homes back into the aquifer, which would account for approximately 4.75 million litres of additional water recharging back into the supply aquifer on an annual basis. [95]
Interference monitoring results measured during pumping tests, compared to
design peak demand periods, at pumping rates of 15 litres per minute is a clear indicator that the subdivision will not adversely impact the long-term water supply of the existing neighbouring properties. To further protect and ensure the long term viability of the water supply of the subdivision and neighbouring wells, each lot in the subdivision will be investigated by a qualified hydrogeologist to confirm hydrogeological characteristics for future development. This additional measure establishes a higher level of testing and reporting protocols than is required by the Guidelines. [96]
The Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority reported drought conditions during
the summer of 2016. Well water level monitoring at the development site from June to August 2016 was undertaken in three of the subdivision test wells (TW01, TW02 and TW03). Monitoring results identified an average of 0.5 m to 2.0 m change in water levels; 93% to 99% of the well water supply was still available in these wells. The 2 m change in water level occurred in the well located closest to an existing neighbouring property (TW01). These results indicate that ample water supply is available in each subdivision well to support the proposed development. [97]
Information has not been provided about the three wells in the vicinity of the
development site that reportedly went dry during the 2016 drought period. These occurrences may be attributable to the well being shallow and/or poorly constructed wells, and/or the inability of the affected well to sufficiently interact with well bearing fractures. Regardless of what may have caused these wells to go dry, water supply is not anticipated to be an issue for the subdivision wells and the subdivision is not expected to be of considerable influence on neighbouring wells.
29 [98]
Page 164 of 211 PL160168
The pre- and post- neighbouring well water sampling program identified similar
water quality before and following the pumping tests. Hydrogen sulphide (sulfur) concentrations were identified in the water chemistry; two neighbouring wells had a slight increase in sodium levels, 11 of the residential wells showed sodium levels similar to pre-pumping levels, and sodium concentrations were decreased in six wells following the pumping tests. Treatment for locally common aesthetic and health related parameters may be required for some subdivision wells, in which case, treatment technologies are readily available. [99]
The pumping tests and groundwater chemistry results for nitrate indicate the
bacteriological quality of the well water meets the MOECC D-5-5 Guideline and the Ontario Drinking Water Quality Standards (“ODWQS”) criteria for private drinking wells. As the proposed development area is down gradient from other properties in the vicinity of the development area it can reasonably be concluded that the development lands do impact the water quality of neighbouring properties. [100] The Health Unit’s review of the development site confirmed that each of the proposed 13 lots is suitable to support a Class 4 raised leaching bed system as prescribed by the OBC. The nitrate assessment analysis data supports development of thirteen residential lots using OBC appropriate raised-bed septic systems. To eliminate any potential for nitrate impact to the groundwater supply from the proposed subdivision, the County’s peer reviewer recommended that tertiary treatment (prefiltration and disinfection) be considered to supplement the Class 4 septic system. This recommendation has been adopted as a Condition of Draft Plan Approval. [101] Some Hartington residents reported having experiencing well contamination in the past. In 2010, bacterial contamination was identified in wells located along Highway 38 southeast of the development lands. The MOECC has identified that the source of this contamination was a neighbouring well that was exposed to poor farming management practices, including the storage of manure adjacent to a well. This farm has since been decommissioned and adjacent water sources have been restored to a
30
Page 165 of 211 PL160168
standard suitable for domestic consumption. Subsequent testing and analysis found no E. coli bacteria present in the groundwater of the subdivision wells. [102] Mr. Johnston pointed out that there is no evidence to date that the drinking water aquifer has been adversely impacted by the former gas bar property. That property is approximately 300 m east and down slope from the development site. The directional flow of water from that property is to the south and east, away from the subject lands. In order to assess whether the subdivision was at risk of impact from the development site, groundwater sampling and analyses of three subdivision test wells, and groundwater modelling to assess whether there was potential to “pull” the contaminant was undertaken in 2016. The wells selected for this testing (TW01, TW02, and TW09) were chosen because they are located nearest to the site. [103] Water samples were tested for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX) and petroleum hydrocarbons (“PHC”) (F1-F4) analyses. Results of the chemical analyses for parameters of concern were below laboratory detection limits, indicating that PHC contamination has not migrated to the development area. Groundwater sampling results from on-site wells did not identify PHC contaminants of concern, confirming the groundwater quality within the subdivision has not been adversely impacted by the former gas station property. [104] The modelling exercise to assess the potential “pull” of groundwater incorporated the effects of instantaneous pumping of 43 wells in the hamlet and the development area. The results of the modelling demonstrated that while land owners immediately down gradient and adjacent to the former PHC spill area may be subject to potential contamination, the proposed subdivision is not at risk. The MOECC continues to monitor this site. [105] Mr. Johnston disagrees with the notion there are no barriers to prevent surface contamination from reaching the depths of most wells in the aquifer. There is no evidence of karst, vertical fractures, or a highly permeable bedrock environment to suggest that pathways in the bedrock have not been identified at the subject property.
31
Page 166 of 211 PL160168
There was no bedrock karst features found during the initial test pit investigation (December 2012), and additional bore hole drilling to a depth of 8 m in March/April 2017 did not present evidence of karstification. [106] Fine grained soils were noted in the test pits extending to a maximum depth of 1.2 m in the development area. The test pit work and the borehole drilling investigative work results identified minor horizontal bedding planes in the bedrock core that were less than 1 millimetre thick in the upper 1 to 2 m of the limestone bedrock, after which excellent quality limestone bedrock was encountered to depths approaching 8 to 9 m. This indicates the upper portion of the limestone bedrock is sporadically fractured, and then of good quality at depths approaching 30 m in the limestone bedrock aquifer, indicating that vertical groundwater recharge is not instantaneous at the development area. Several site reconnaissance visits in and around Hartington have been conducted and no evidence of grikes, sinkholes or karst springs have been observed in either the development area or other areas of the hamlet. [107] In regard to reported observations about groundwater pooling, Mr. Johnston confirmed that ponded water has been observed at the subject property during winter conditions when the ground is frozen (limiting infiltration) and during significant precipitation events. A site visit during a recent major precipitation event (April 2017) did not indicate wide spread ponding on the property. However, there was water flow observed through a shallow swale towards the south-west property boundary, where ponding in a concentration area was noted. [108] The surrounding landscape to the west, east and south of the development area slopes very gently downward to the south and southwest. On this basis alone it is logically difficult to perceive and understand how ponded water that does not make its way to shallow, gradually-graded ditches would have the ability to discharge down gradient before infiltrating into the subsurface. This is further evidenced by the artesian (flowing) wells that were observed along Boyce Road less than 300 m from the subject property. Mr. Johnston contends that if surface water is carried away as rapidly as has been claimed, this phenomenon would not be observed.
32
Page 167 of 211 PL160168
[109] In response to the postulations of an unidentified well, referred to by Mr. Ruland as the “mystery well”, Mr. Johnston explained that eight on-site test wells were initially advanced by Davey Well Drilling in late December 2012 and early spring 2013. These wells were drilled into the Paleozoic limestone and Precambrian basement granite bedrock and constructed to MOECC Regulation 903 Standards. A ninth well was drilled in the northern portion of the property in February 2013. The related well record was reported to the MOECC by Davey Well Drilling as not finished. According to the Proponent, this well was subjected to high pressure water hydrofracturing in early March 2013. The hydrofracturing was undertaken in the Precambrian formulation at a well depth of 30 to 40 m. According to Davey Well Drilling, this hydrofracturing was conducted by a third party that is no longer in business, and there are no hydrofracturing records to support the depth at which hydrofracturing was conducted. Davey Well Drilling indicated the hydrofracturing process did not improve well water supply. [110] Mr. Johnston testified he was not aware that hydrofracturing had been conducted on this well at the time he was conducting the Study; he was notified of this by the Proponent in the fall of 2014. This hydrofracturing took place before any of the well pumping tests associated with the Study were planned or scheduled. This well was not accessed or used in the Study pumping tests, monitoring and/or sampling program or the subsequent follow-up supplementary work (2013-2016). There were already more wells on the development lands than required to satisfy the Guidelines, and furthermore, groundwater chemistry quality results have not indicated impairment to the limestone or Precambrian aquifers(s) due to hydrofracturing activity. [111] Mr. Johnston reiterated that each subdivision lot will be subjected to a hydrogeological assessment completed by a qualified person before a building permit is issued. In his opinion these efforts go well beyond the minimum requirements of Procedure D-5-5 (Technical Guideline for Private Wells), and provides an increased degree of assurance that the subdivision as proposed is sustainable in the long term.
33
Page 168 of 211 PL160168
The County: [112] Mr. Pyke peer reviews plans of subdivision and provides relevant advice to the County. The Peer Review process involves a review of the technical reports provided to support the application and is intended to identify any deficiencies in the technical reports. These reports are evaluated in the context of regulatory standards, guidelines and standard scientific practices, including the following: •
O. Reg. 169/03, Ontario Drinking Water Quality Standards;
•
Hydrogeological Technical Information Requirements for Land Developments, MOEECC, April 1995;
•
Procedure D-5-4 Technical Guidelines for individual On-Site Sewage Systems: Water Quality Impact Assessment, MOECC, April 1996;
•
Procedures D-5-5 Technical Guidelines for Private Wells: Water Supply Assessment, MOECC, March 1995; and,
•
Water Supply Wells – Requirements and Best Management Practices, MOECC, Revised April 2015.
[113] Mr. Pyke agrees that the investigative work completed by the Proponent to date exceeds what is outlined in the MOECC D-5-4 and D-5-5 guidelines, and in his opinion, is more than sufficient to support Draft Plan Approval. On the basis of his thorough peer review, he recommended that the Draft Plan be approved subject to the adoption of recommended provisions set out in his letters dated April 15, 2015 and August 9, 2016. While acknowledging these provisions go beyond the requirements of the Guidelines, Mr. Pyke maintains the application of enhanced precautionary measures is in the public interest. These provisions will also allow the qualified person(s) conducting the additional future assessments to adaptively manage variability that may be encountered.
34
Page 169 of 211 PL160168
[114] The quality analyses indicate that the water at the proposed subdivision is suitable for potable purposes. Initial bacterial testing for total coliforms showed that three of 11 wells, two on the development site and one on the lands owned by the Proponent to the south, exceeded the MOECC guidelines of less than 6 counts per 100 millilitres. Mr. Pyke explained that the presence of total coliform in newly drilled wells is not uncommon. [115] A number of off-site wells on lands not owned by the Proponent also were observed to have exceedances of the total Coliform Guideline. The presence of coliform is commonly an issue for older wells where the well seal has been breached or the well has not been properly maintained. In the circumstance, it could be that the E. coli source is localized to individual wells rather than aquifer-related. Subsequent testing results from 11 wells across the development lands and nine off-site wells for E. coli did not identify exceedances of the Guideline or the ODWQS. In line with best practices, filtration and UV treatment of the subdivision drinking water systems is required as a Condition of Draft Plan Approval. [116] Mr. Pyke pointed out that no evidence has been adduced to date to support either the inference that “the aquifer is unable to support existing development”, or that the statement that “water levels fluctuated 10 to 15 m (or more) daily”. Conversely, the water levels data collected through the investigation at the development site demonstrated consistent water levels, including throughout the 2016 drought. This data also indicated that more than 20 m of aquifer thickness was available, and no significant change in the water levels of the subdivision wells occurred during this period. [117] Mr. Pyke maintains the statement that an assessment of the interference from potential future wells to existing wells has only been assessed through a computer model, is not correct. The Proponent’s hydrogeological expert reported monitoring groundwater levels in adjacent onsite test wells and offsite observation wells (neighbouring domestic wells) during pump testing. The draw of water from the 13 subdivision wells was observed though it did not have a significant influence on the water levels at the development site. Furthermore, the proposed subdivision is down
35
Page 170 of 211 PL160168
gradient or cross gradient from the majority of adjacent well users, and as such, the proposed development is not anticipated to cause significant change in the water levels in the aquifer or impact existing users. As a precautionary measure additional future monitoring of interference through pump testing and the monitoring of groundwater levels is established in the Conditions of Draft Plan Approval. [118] Mr. Pyke also does not agree that “there are no barriers to prevent surface water contamination from reaching the depths of most wells in the aquifer”. Based on the near horizontal bedding of the bedrock and the existence of soil cover, and in consideration of the observations from the additional borehole drilling at the site (March/April 2017), which did not produce evidence of significant karst, there is no basis or support for this statement. The proposed layouts of the lots in combination with the staggered well orientation and the placement of the well and septic system on opposite sides of the dwelling provides additional precautionary measures. [119] In regard to the former gas station property, ongoing monitoring of the groundwater plume indicates that the PHC plume has been delineated in the shallow groundwater. Testing of drinking wells (from deeper into the aquifer) on nearby and adjacent properties have not identified detections of PHC. The development site is hydraulically cross or up gradient of the former gas station, meaning the directional flow of water from the former gas bar property is in the opposite direction of the subdivision lands. Accordingly, the potential for impacts to the subdivision lands from the contamination site are negligible. The MOECC is continuing to monitor the site. [120] Ms. McClure is the Water Resources Manager at the QCA. She has expertise in stormwater management, surface water hydrogeology and hydraulics, and has completed several hundred stormwater management reviews for QCA and the Lower Trent Conservation Authority. Her first involvement in this proposal was in July 2013 at which time she participated in an on-site pre-consultation meeting involving Mr. Prinsen and QCA planning and regulations staff. She subsequently completed a preliminary review of the Stormwater Management Report and associated drawings.
36
Page 171 of 211 PL160168
[121] The QCA Water Resources Department reviewed the Draft Plan application to determine whether sufficient engineering support had been provided to demonstrate; a) that the stormwater management block is large enough to achieve quality and quantity controls; b) that the level of quality and quantity controls that are appropriate for the lands; and c), whether the lands can drain to the stormwater management block. [122] In Ms. McClure’s opinion, the Draft Plan and proposed Conditions of Draft Plan Approval adequately address stormwater management requirements for the subject property and the lands in the vicinity of the subject property. The Proponent proposes to utilize an enhanced ditch to provide stormwater quantity and quality control. As per the MOECC 2003 Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual (“SMPDM”), lot level and conveyance controls such as enhanced grass swales are “only suitable for small drainage areas (less than 2 ha)”. In this case, the proposed development area exceeds the 2 ha limit; however, the drainage area to the enhanced ditch has not been quantified. The SMPDM provides water quality storage requirements for other stormwater treatment technologies that are suitable for larger contributing drainage areas, such as a wet pond which had been suggested in the earlier proposals. [123] Ms. McClure indicated that although calculations have not yet been provided to show that there is sufficient area to accommodate the quality and quantity controls, she is confident there is plenty of storage availability in the stormwater block. Alternatively, the Proponent owns sufficient other lands that could be used to provide stormwater management control. [124] Ms. McClure confirmed the Proponent will be required to address all outstanding matters in the Final Stormwater Management Report, which is required to include detailed drawings addressing grading, drainage and stormwater management. This report will be subject to review and approval by the Township and the QCA prior to final approval of the plan of subdivision. As well, all legal matters associated with tying the stormwater management from the development into the PVMD system must be resolved to the satisfaction of the Township. In the interim, the QCA will continue to
37
Page 172 of 211 PL160168
review the application for compliance with its Stormwater Management Guidelines until satisfied that these requirements have been met. The HCA [125] Mr. Ruland was approached by the HCA in March 2016 to complete an independent review of information which had been provided in respect of the proposed development. He has expertise in water resource and contamination issues. [126] Mr. Ruland maintains the question that needs to be answered is whether an almost 30% increase in the number of homes, wells and septic systems in Hartington is sustainable and can be accommodated without causing unacceptable impacts on the local aquifer and the domestic wells it supplies. In his view, without an understanding of the existing big picture any attempt to assess the potential impacts of the proposed development risks missing the mark. [127] The available hydrogeological information and accounts by local residents indicate the Hartington aquifer is seasonally stressed and being used at or beyond its summer/fall sustainable limits. Currently, the aquifer is not able to provide a safe, potable and adequate supply of drinking water to many residents of the hamlet, particularly during the summer months. In his opinion, the current development proposal is not sustainable, and if allowed to proceed, will have unacceptable impacts. [128] Mr. Ruland contends the prepared hydrogeology reports have not provided a coherent conceptual model for the existing conditions in the groundwater flow. The Hartington aquifer is situated in the fractured limestone bedrock and is highly vulnerable. Directions of lateral groundwater movement are influenced by topography, by local discharge points such as springs, and by significant withdrawals of groundwater (from wells), and not enough is known about the local groundwater flow. In this case, there does not appear to be any barriers that would prevent surface contamination from reaching the depths of the wells in the aquifer.
38
Page 173 of 211 PL160168
[129] The Hartington aquifer is showing unmistakable signs of stress, including reduced amounts of water availability to individual wells and deteriorating groundwater quality. The accounts of local residents demonstrate that the aquifer is reaching its limit on a regular basis during the summer dry periods. During summer/fall droughts the water table can drop by 5 to 10 m or more over early spring levels. There have been reports of water levels having dropped hard and wells going dry during these dry periods. There were several reports of local wells having gone dry during an unusually bad drought in the summer of 2016. [130] Hartington is situated on an upland bounded on three sides by considerable lower-lying lands. The elevation differential between the uplands (where the development lands are situated) and the low lands area is between 20 and 25 m. It follows from this that groundwater movement will have a downward component from the ground surface into the underlying aquifer. Basically, rain falls onto the upland area, seeps into the ground, and flows downward into the aquifer as it moves outward towards the margins of the upland. The ramification of this is that contaminants can travel downward from the ground surface to the aquifer and cause impairment of the well water supply. [131] Currently, groundwater flow directions from the development lands are radially outward from the northern and central portions of the property, and southward from the south lands. Groundwater flow directions can change if groundwater usage patterns change. The introduction of a cluster of new domestic wells can induce groundwater to move towards the wells, regardless of the existing direction of ground water movement. If the number of wells increases by 30% there will be a significant change in groundwater flow. [132] The undeveloped farms lands surrounding the hamlet, including the area proposed to be developed, play an important role in the recharging of the local groundwater flow system. By his calculation, the development area is currently recharging approximately 18.4 million litres of groundwater into the Hartington aquifer annually; water that is sorely needed in the hamlet during summer and early-fall dry
39
Page 174 of 211 PL160168
periods. The amount of groundwater recharge coming from the property will be significantly reduced if the proposed development proceeds; half of the volume currently being supplied will be lost. [133] The other major limitation on the quantity of groundwater in this aquifer is its relatively lower porosity, which severely impairs the ability of the aquifer to absorb infiltrating precipitation. This can be seen after heavy rainfalls or during wet seasons (late fall and spring) during which time there is often extensive ponding of water on the ground surface. A significant amount of this ponded water eventually finds its way to surface ditches which carry the water to the margins of the uplands. The result is that more than the usual amount of precipitation is being lost to surface runoff in the Hartington area. Lateral losses of groundwater from the aquifer due to groundwater discharge in seeps and springs at the margins of the upland result in further depletion of groundwater from the aquifer. The lateral losses of groundwater are facilitated by flow through higher-permeability karst channels where these are present. [134] Mr. Ruland contends the prepared impact assessment documents should have indicated that mildly karstic hydraulic conductivities were present in the aquifer. The process of progressive limestone bedrock dissolution over time can lead to characteristic features such as grikes, sinkholes and springs (karst) forming at the ground surface and in the subsurface. The presence of karstic dissolution makes the bedrock hydrogeology more complex and less predictable. The hydraulic calculated aquifer conductivities from the pump test results strongly indicate that karstic dissolution of the fractured limestone bedrock aquifer is occurring in the Hartington area. His concern is that consideration has not been given to vertical fractures and the resulting impact to groundwater movement. [135] Mr. Ruland maintains the aquifer is showing troubling signs of surface contamination in Hartington and the surrounding area. This aquifer comprises a complex and variable water flow system, which is highly permeable and strongly interconnected in some areas, and much less so in other areas. He said it appears there are enough vertical fractures to convey at least some surface groundwater deep
40
Page 175 of 211 PL160168
into the bedrock flow system, meaning, potential pathways are present which allow the downward movement of contaminants. These pathways combined with the thin soils make the aquifer vulnerable to contamination. In that regard, there is plenty of evidence of the vulnerability of the Hartington aquifer, including the water quality data. Coliform bacteria were found at some point in the testing done on seven of the 11 installed wells on the development lands, and found to be present in the water quality testing done on five of nine neighbouring wells. The presence of bacteria in brand new wells is strong evidence of the vulnerability of the aquifer. [136] The presence of nitrate in local groundwater is further evidence of contamination entering the aquifer from the ground surface. Nitrate was found to be present in tests done on 9 of 11 wells installed by the Proponent. Every additional well will increase the draw on the aquifer and the rate of downward groundwater movement. This means that surface contaminants will be drawn downward into the aquifer even more quickly. Similarly, every new septic system increases the loading of nitrate into the shallow groundwater, which is then drawn downward into the deeper parts of the aquifer that are tapped by domestic wells. [137] It is Mr. Ruland’s opinion that the general requirements defined in s. 4.0 and 5.1 of MOECC Procedure D-5-4 have not been met. Nitrate samples from properties adjacent to the development property have not been collected; seasonal variations in nitrate levels have not been captured; the susceptibility of groundwater to contamination has not been examined; and a reasonable explanation has not been provided for existing nitrate concentrations of 0-10 milligrams per litre as required by s. 5.1 c of Procedure D-5-4. Moreover, it has not been demonstrated that the area is not obviously hydro-geologically sensitive, as required by s. 5.1d). In his view, the County should have required a more appropriate and precautionary process for assessing potential nitrate loading to this sensitive aquifer. [138] Mr. Ruland reported having discovered what he referred to as “the mystery well” on the development property. He purports that the presence of this well was not disclosed to the HCA or the public and either the Proponent or his hydrogeologist
41
Page 176 of 211 PL160168
consultant must fully explain why it was not. Although he does not know for sure, he suspects the presence of this well also was not disclosed to the County or the Township. [139] By accounts of local residents, this well and possibly others on the development site were subjected to hydraulic fracturing. This is a process in which overpressures of many thousands of pounds per square inch are used with the goal of breaking the bedrock around a well and/or forcing open existing fractures to increase the flow of groundwater into the well. This procedure can affect both the quantity and quality of other wells in the vicinity. [140] The effects of hydraulic fracturing can be either positive or negative and are generally permanent. Of significant concern is the possibility that the hydraulically fractured open borehole of this well may be acting as a conduit, allowing contaminated groundwater to move vertically through the groundwater flow system. Whether or not any wells on the development lands have been fracked is obviously a key piece of information for the professionals who have reviewed this matter; the County, the Township, the QCA and the HCA. In this case, there is no way of knowing the true extent to which the fracking of this well improved the hydraulic and water quality characteristics of the aquifer in the area surrounding the well. [141] The impact assessment also failed to mention or assess the potential impacts of a working farm next door to the proposed subdivision. This farm has a livestock operation with approval for up to 101 pigs. Six of the proposed subdivision lots back onto this farm. A second farm operation across Boyce Road from the development site has cattle. [142] Mr. Ruland stated that his “gravest” concern is the presence of an area of ongoing PHC contamination caused by the leakage of fuel tanks from the former gas station property. The spill site is approximately 300 m from the development site, well within the 500 m perimeter of concern around the development property set out in MOECC Procedure D-5-5.
42
Page 177 of 211 PL160168
[143] Mr. Ruland declared that as a professional Geoscientist his duty to public health and safety is paramount. By way of a July 28, 2016 memorandum he informed his clients that the remediation of the spill site is not complete; the groundwater plume spill site is not delineated; and the proposed development could cause residential wells to become contaminated. On this same date, he submitted a memorandum to the Township recommending that all residents’ wells within the 300 m of the contaminant site be tested. He said the Township has declined to act on that recommendation and very little progress has been made in terms of clearing up or reducing the concerns listed in his memorandum. In his view, it is a serious mistake for the Township to not be conducting precautionary testing to a distance of 300 m of the spill site. He also provided this information to the MOECC, but no action has been taken. [144] Mr. Ruland conceded that no contaminants were detected in a recent round of sampling of water from several residential wells in the immediate area of the spill site completed by the Township, which he concurs, is good news. Notwithstanding that it would appear the ground contamination plume from the spill site is on a flow path that currently misses the residential wells tested by the Township, Mr. Ruland purports that very significant groundwater contamination is on the move in Hartington, and no one knows where it is going. [145] In that regard, the best-case scenario is that the benzene plume has somehow missed all residential wells in the Hartington community in its downgradient migration through the ground water flow system. However, it is quite possible that a 30% increase in the number of local wells will change the groundwater flow directions and could induce flow from the containment site toward the proposed subdivision, possibly causing one or more currently clean wells to become contaminated. [146] In summary, it is Mr. Ruland’s professional opinion that that the proposed subdivision should not be approved. The Hartington aquifer is a highly vulnerable and seasonally stressed aquifer with marginal to poor quality groundwater, and every new well and septic system will worsen the situation. In his view, the undelineated PHC
43
Page 178 of 211 PL160168
contamination plume emanating from the centre of the hamlet makes for a situation in which development such as is being proposed should not be considered. [147] In cross-examination, Mr. Ruland confirmed he has not visited the site or undertaken any testing of the site, and he did not attempt to contact the Hydrogeological consultant (MP) originally retained by the HCA seeking information about any technical analysis/studies that may had been completed. He conceded there is no evidence of any contamination in drinking water supply wells, or to support his statement that groundwater contamination “was on the move” in the hamlet. Although he agreed that facts are more beneficial to the Tribunal and typically “should be preferred over speculation”, he purports to be speaking from, and/or relying on his professional experience. He also confirmed he did not apprise the Medical Officer of Health of his concerns. [148] Mr. Chard was retained by the HCA in late November 2016 to conduct an independent review of the stormwater management components of the proposed subdivision with a view to the identification of the potential impacts on lands within the vicinity of the subject lands. He attended the required meeting of the experts and conducted a site visit. [149] In Mr. Chard’s opinion the main issue, downstream impact, has not been addressed. In his estimation the Preliminary Report significantly underestimated site runoff volumes and runoff rates. As a consequence, the technical analysis has not demonstrated that the proposed stormwater measures for either the initial 47-lot proposal or the revised 13-lot proposal will adequately control site runoff released to the PVMD. [150] In his opinion, the analysis also has not given adequate consideration to the capacity and condition of the PVMD. Mr. Chard indicated that achieving satisfactory surface drainage throughout the site is essential for the performance of the private sewage-disposal systems proposed to be installed on each of the residential lots. His review of the available topographic mapping of the site indicates that substantial re-
44
Page 179 of 211 PL160168
grading or placement of imported fill, or both, will be required to achieve satisfactory north-to-south drainage of the site to the PVMD. The determination of whether any maintenance or improvement of the PVMD is required in order to provide adequate service to the proposed subdivision and to ensure there is no increased flood risk to downstream property owners. [151] Should it be determined that improvements to the PVMD are required a new engineering report would need to be prepared in accordance with the Drainage Act. This requires that land owners in the drainage area be notified and consulted as a new Schedule of Assessment for the allocation of costs to benefitting landowners would have to be approved. Mr. Chard advises that based on his review there is a reasonable possibility that an evaluation of the PVMD would demonstrate that improvements are required. He maintains it is important that this evaluation precede Draft Plan Approval because in his view, relegating resolution of any legal matters related to the Drainage Act to a Condition of Draft Plan Approval would be unwise. [152] Moreover, the proposed development of the subject site could potentially have an impact on hydraulic recharge of the local bedrock aquifer. The Preliminary Report and Addendum do not provide an assessment of this potential impact. This assessment is warranted given the concerns about impacts on existing private wells on nearby properties. Development of a preliminary site grading plan is required for such an assessment in order to determine if it will be necessary for site drainage ditches to be excavated down into the bedrock. [153] For these reasons, it is his opinion that the Proponent should be required to provide a revised stormwater management/grading plan before Draft Plan Approval is considered. The revised plan should include an evaluation of the PVMD downstream of the development property; a preliminary site grading plan to demonstrate the feasibility of providing a satisfactory final design of the site drainage system; a requirement that the use of Outlet 2 be eliminated; and an assessment of the potential impact on hydrologic recharge of the bedrock groundwater aquifer.
45
Page 180 of 211 PL160168
[154] In summary, in Mr. Chard’s opinion there continues to be deficiencies in the supporting technical analysis provided in the Preliminary Report and Addendum. In this regard, the method used to estimate stormwater storage volumes is deficit; the downstream effect on water levels and flood risks along the PVMD has not been assessed; and, it has not been demonstrated that the operating water levels for the proposed facility are feasible given the elevation of the main branch channel at the proposed point of discharge to the PVMD. For these reasons, it is his professional opinion that Draft Plan Approval is premature. [155] Mr. Chard admitted in cross-examination that his only prior involvement with a rural plan of subdivision came earlier in his career (about 30 years prior) and that his experience with municipal drains works is somewhat limited. Submissions by Local Residents [156] Ms. Foxton and her family have resided at 3992 Boyce Road, located approximately 120 m from the proposed development lands, since 2002. She has been active in bringing her and her neighbours water-related concerns to Township and County Councils and municipal staff, and is a founding member of the HCA of which she is currently the President and her husband, Wade Leonard, is the Vice-President. The HCA is an incorporated non-profit organization which sole objective is to “to promote sustainable and responsible development in Hartington, Ontario and surrounding area”. The HCA currently has 118 members, many of whom live beside or near the subject lands. [157] The water supply to the Foxton household is from a private well drilled to a depth of approximately 190 feet. The family relies on water drawn from this well for drinking, cooking, bathing, cleaning and other domestic uses, and so they are very careful about the amount and timing of water use. Ms. Foxton said they have experienced both quantity and quality problems with the water drawn from their well. Shortly after moving into their home they discovered that their well is slow to recharge, and sometimes draws sand into the water system. They installed a whole-house sediment filter and replaced
46
Page 181 of 211 PL160168
their appliances, hot water tank and water softener with water efficient models. Given their proximity to nearby farms, an ultraviolet light system and a reverse osmosis system was also added to ensure the safety of the household drinking water supply. [158] They first began experiencing sulphur odours in the well water after a near-by car wash installed a new well in 2006. This odour presents intermittently and typically lasts for days before gradually dissipating. In December 2012, the Foxton’s were notified that the Proponent’s hydrogeological consultant wanted to monitor their well level while pumping tests were been carried out on the subject property. Essentially, it was reported to them that the pre-test water sampling (January 13, 2013) indicated that no bacteriological contaminants were detected, but that their water contained sodium concentrations three times higher than Ontario’s health-based standard. Additional pumping tests carried out at the subject lands in March 2013 yielded the same results. Following these pumping tests, and again immediately following a second round of pumping tests conducted in September 2014, they detected a sulphur odour in their water. The pumping tests indicated that there were fluctuations and an increase in the water level in their well while the test wells were being pumped on the subject lands. [159] Ms. Foxton said that after she and other concerned local residents became aware of potential hydrocarbon contamination of the local aquifer in 2016, they decided to retain an independent hydrogeologist (Wilf Ruland) with experience in groundwater contamination matters, and a land use planner (Mark Dorfman). Ms. Foxton confirmed she personally provided copies of Mr. Ruland’s and Mr. Dorfman’s expert reports to Township and County officials, the Health Unit, QCA and the MOECC. However, other than an acknowledgement of receipt of the documents, she never received any written responses from these officials and/or agencies in regard to Mr. Ruland’s reports or the recommendations contained therein. [160] In 2016, the HCA retained a professional engineer (Harold Chard) to review the adequacy of the Proponent’s proposals and supporting documentation in relation to stormwater management. In that regard, as a long-time resident Ms. Foxton has personally observed the following:
47 •
Page 182 of 211 PL160168
significant volumes of standing water on and in the vicinity of the subject lands, and upstream and downstream of the PVMD;
•
high water levels that have produced localized flooding of the ditches and fields along the PVMD, usually occurring in the spring and fall, either after snowmelt or during significant rainfall events;
•
standing water lasting for several days is often experienced in the fields behind their home and in their east side after significant rainfall in the spring and fall - their property is partially drained by a surface water ditch that flows southwards into the PVMD; and,
•
to date, she has never observed any maintenance work on the PVMD being carried out by the Township or its contractors.
[161] Linda Stewart has resided at 5539 Highway 38 since 2002. She has two wells on her property; one is an older well installed inside a dug well which she uses for lawn and garden watering, the other, a drilled well installed in 1997 is used for domestic purposes. She first experienced impacts to the quality of the water in this well about two years after a new car wash across the road from her property became operational in 2006. The water utilized by the car wash operation is supplied by an on-site well. It is her understanding that the newly installed well on the car wash property was fracked in order to increase water supply. [162] In February 2009, she noticed that the water from the second well was very discoloured. Testing of her water by the Health Unit revealed the presence of very high levels of E. coli. A subsequent investigation by the MOECC identified the barnyard to the north of her property as the source of this bacterial contamination. She said based on many conversations with officials during the course of this investigation, she understands the MOECC identified the fracking of the car wash well as a possible contributing factor in the contamination of her well. After this incident, she installed ultraviolet disinfection equipment on this well. The offending barnyard was
48
Page 183 of 211 PL160168
subsequently cleaned up and the cattle relocated to another property. She has not experienced any further E. coli contamination. [163] Due to the proximity of her property to the subject land, her second well was included in the pumping tests carried out on behalf of the Proponent. The test results indicated a slight increase in the water level in her well, which was purportedly attributed to usage of the well during the pumping test, but she was not at home on the two occasions that her well was being monitored and to her knowledge, no water was used or drawn from the well during the pumping tests. She continues to be very concerned about potential well water quality and quantity impacts that may be caused by the proposed development. Based on her past experience with the car wash matter, she questions the Township’s willingness and/or ability to enforce site-specific conditions imposed by the Act. [164] Angela Livie and her family moved into their home at 4033 Boyce Road on November 4, 2011. They had been searching for a home and decided to purchase this property because it was in the country, and enthusiastically purchased the property while the home was still under construction. Their property backs onto the proposed development lands. According to Ms. Livie, the Proponent and his real estate agent told them the fields behind the house were farm fields; she said “they did not mention the proposed development”. It was shortly after they moved into their new home that they heard about the development proposal [165] The water supply to their home is drawn from a private well approximately 98 feet deep. Ms. Livie said they have experienced water quality issues since the day they moved into the home. On closing day her husband noticed a smell in the house, which the Proponent said was due to the water not being used and that running the taps would fix it. Running the taps did not fix the problem. Ms. Livie concedes that they did not undertake independent water testing. They have since installed an ultraviolet drinking water treatment system, water softener and aerate system. The water treatment has generally helped, but when the smell returned during the summer of 2016 the treatment system was not able to alleviate it. At that same time they began to experience water
49
Page 184 of 211 PL160168
quantity problems. They had to truck water in for the flower gardens, take their laundry elsewhere, and limit the duration of showers to five minutes. [166] Mr. Hasler has resided at 4175 Boyce Road since 1987. His residential property is located approximately 1.4 kilometres to the west of the proposed development lands. The water supply to his home is drawn from a well that is 56 feet deep. When the well was first drilled in 1987, it provided 6.5 gallons per minute of slightly hard water with a high concentration of iron. He installed a water softener, an iron filter, and an ultraviolet light, after which the Health Unit approved the water for human consumption. Until the car wash was built, his well was artesian. In July and August of 2011, his home and surrounding lands experienced a dry spell which caused even the 90 acre wetland alongside his dwelling to dry up. [167] In the spring of 2016, Mr. Hasler again began monitoring well water levels. Between May 1 and October 15, the static water level dropped 7 feet, 8 inches. The submersible pump reaches 5 feet from the bottom of the well. In October 2016, the pump started to thermally shut down. He discovered that running the pump for 15 minutes caused the water level to be drawn below the pump, prompting the thermal shutdown. It took the well two hours to recharge enough to produce water again. Mr. Hasler reported that his well has started to rebound, but it is still a long way from being back to normal. Based on his experiences since 2006-2007 he is very concerned about potential water quantity impacts that could be caused by the proposed development. [168]
Ms. Oliveira resides at 3924 Petworth Road, having moved there in January
- She has since sold the property and the new owners are expected to move in on April 28, 2017. This property is located on the Harrowsmith-Hartington border and is due south of the proposed development lands. She moved into her home during the winter and consequently, was unaware of the amount of surface water that flowed over and around her property - the ponding of water became evident in the spring. [169] In the spring of 2011, the driveway and areas around the home were flooded by significant amounts of standing water, at times, as much as 2 feet deep. To alleviate
50
Page 185 of 211 PL160168
the flooding a ditch was dug on the west side of the house to collect and direct the water to a natural levee, and several (16 to 18) truckloads of fill were deposited on the property. The up-grading helped facilitate water run-off from the property, but the west ditch still often overflows during wet conditions. [170] Mr. (Wade) Leonard resides at 3992 Boyce Road. Prior to moving to his current home he lived and worked for decades on the family dairy farm located at 4004 Boyce Road. The farm maintained up to 50 head of cattle between 1912 and 1998. The water for the barn was drawn from a well 110 feet deep. The water supply to the farmhouse was drawn from a low yield well dug approximately 18 feet deep. He said although water was always a concern on the farm, supply shortages occurred more frequently during the last years of full operation of the farm (mid 1990s). The lack of a sustainable water supply was one of the factors that lead to a herd reduction and ultimately the closure of the dairy farm. Submission of the Participant [171] Steven Leonard owns and operates a livestock farm at 4057 Boyce Road. Like other property owners in this area, he is concerned about the impact of the proposed development on the water quality and supply in this area. His other concerns are that the development proposal will impede his ability to expand his livestock operation due to MDS requirements, and that he will have to contend with livestock/farm-related nuisance complaints from future residents of the proposed subdivision. ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS [172] The Tribunal has reviewed the documentary materials provided and considered the evidence of the expert witnesses, the concerns of local residents, and the submissions and case reviews provided by counsel. [173] In order to grant Draft Plan Approval the Tribunal must first be satisfied that the development plan being proposed is in accordance with the provincial and local land use planning policies. It is of importance to understand that Draft Plan Approval is not
51
Page 186 of 211 PL160168
the end of the approvals process. As Mr. Keene correctly pointed out the proposed plan of subdivision must receive Final Approval before any development can occur. Final Approval is not provided until such time that the requisite Conditions of Draft Plan Approval are fulfilled and the necessary regulatory approvals and/or permits have been secured. It is also of significance that if the Conditions of Draft Plan Approval are not or cannot be fulfilled the plan of subdivision as currently proposed will not advance. [174] Moreover, the mechanics of water and sewer servicing, stormwater management facilities and drainage, and the lot grading plan are not within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal. These are aspects of a development proposal that are regulated by the OBC and for which the municipal Chief Building Officer has approval authority, and/or is subject to QCA and MOECC approvals. [175] In regard to the planning merits of the proposal, the Tribunal is satisfied that the proposal is consistent with the policy directives of the PPS, conforms to the policy objectives of the COP and TOP, and meets the criteria set out in s. 54 (24) of the Act. The Tribunal further finds that the recommended Conditions of Draft Plan Approval appropriately respond to matters of provincial interest and are sufficient to safeguard the public interest. [176] The issue of the Settlement Area boundary is unsustainable. Firstly, Mr. Goodreid’s contention that “this form of development is not permitted outside the Settlement Area boundary” is not correct. To the contrary, it is established in the TOP that a plan of subdivision is permitted in both the Rural and the Settlement Areas designation. [177] The COP assigns the designation of Settlement Areas, including the delineation of the boundaries, to the Township. It is noteworthy that in a November 18, 2015 report to Council the Township staff planner (Lindsay Mills) indicated that the proposed 13 residential lots “are all within the hamlet boundary”. That same position is held by the County’s former planning consultant (Michael Otis) in an August 24, 2016 report to
52
Page 187 of 211 PL160168
County Council. Both Messrs. Keene and Gallivan maintain the proposed residential lots are all within the Settlement Area boundary. [178] Furthermore, the non-residential components of the proposed subdivision are not required to be located within the Settlement Area boundary. The TOP provides that, except for the Agricultural and Environmental Protection designation, stormwater management works and a public street are permitted in any designation and zoning category. [179] The significant issues in this case are water quality and quantity, and to a lesser degree, stormwater management. Residents of the Hartington community have on occasion experienced water-related difficulties, including odorous tap water, low well water supply levels, contamination of well water, and property flooding. The diligent attendance and attentiveness of several residents on each day of the hearing is indicative of the community’s deeply-held concerns about the quality and quantity of local drinking water. The Tribunal has given careful regard to these matters. [180] Foremost, it is the Tribunal’s observation that all sides in this dispute are alive to the importance of the sustainability of an adequate supply of safe drinking water. The County and the Township retained expert peer-review consultants, as did the HCA. Substantive investigative work has been undertaken by the Proponent’s experts. The QCA has been involved throughout the process and continues to monitor this development application. The Township retained an environmental consultant in response to the contamination at the former gas station property and the MOECC is continuing to monitor the situation at that site. [181] The issues/concerns advanced by Mr. Ruland indisputably give cause for apprehension. However, while unyielding in his challenge and criticisms of the work and opinions of the other hydrogeological-geological experts, Mr. Ruland has not produced any tangible evidence to support his own contentions. He has not been on the property and he has not undertaken any actual site investigative work or performed any testing.
53
Page 188 of 211 PL160168
[182] The Tribunal notes that many of the concerns/issues raised in the evidence of Mr. Ruland were addressed in the evidence/reports/data provided by other expert witnesses, or will be addressed through the Conditions of Draft Plan Approval. In some cases, the investigative work completed actually invalidates assumptions made by Mr. Ruland, such as with respect to on-site karstic features. [183] In this case, the recommended Conditions of Draft Plan Approval include significantly enhanced precautionary measures beyond what is typically required, including that the subdivision wells be further assessed by a qualified hydrogeologist; that pre-filtration and disinfection be included in drinking water systems; that a staggered well orientation be implemented; that individual on-site tertiary treatment septic systems be utilized; that each well in the subdivision be evaluated for nitrate and nitrate concentrations; and, that a soil investigation be undertaken by a qualified professional to ensure that the proposed lots are suitable for these systems. [184] In regard to the gas station property, the evidence before the Tribunal is that drinking water wells on properties adjacent to the development site were recently tested and no PHCs were detected. As the directional flow of groundwater from the contamination site is down-gradient and in the opposite direction, the potential of impact to the subdivision lands is considered to be negligible. However, as a condition of Draft Plan Approval three subdivision wells will be tested for compounds indicative of contamination associated with a rail bed and a gas station. The MOECC continues to maintain oversight of matters related to the gas station property. [185] While the Tribunal is mindful of Mr. Ruland’s professional accreditations and extensive experience, the experts presented by the Proponent, the County, the Township and the QCA are equally qualified and also have demonstrated professional experience. Incidentally, these experts have the same duty to report matters that could potentially threaten public health, safety and well-being as does Mr. Ruland. [186] Mr. Chard’s concerns were focused on what he perceives to be deficiencies in the supporting technical analysis, and the lack of engineering detail, grading, drainage,
54
Page 189 of 211 PL160168
and stormwater management that has been provided. These details will be provided in the Final Stormwater Management Report required as a condition of Draft Plan Approval. The Final Report must be approved by the Township and the QCA, and will be reviewed by the MOECC in consideration of the required ECA. Notwithstanding Mr. Chard’s contention that until a final stormwater management/drainage plan is provided Draft Plan Approval is premature, when asked if he could design an appropriate stormwater management facility conceptual plan for the proposed subdivision he did not hesitate to reply “yes”. [187] In this case, the best-available technical evidence that has been placed before the Tribunal indicates that the supply demands for quality drinking water can be met, and that appropriate stormwater management measures are available. The Tribunal is satisfied that sufficient water quality and quantity investigation and stormwater management study has been advanced to warrant the granting of conditional Draft Plan Approval. [188] The ZBL reserves the Residential zoning category strictly for plans of subdivision. The proposed site-specific ZBA rezones the development lands to Residential (R) Zone and reduces the minimum required road frontage from 0.76 m to 0.46 m for the residential lots. In as much as the Tribunal has deemed that Draft Plan Approval is warranted, it is appropriate to approve the proposed ZBA. ORDER [189] The Tribunal orders that the appeals are allowed and the Draft Plan shown on the plan prepared by Forefront Engineering Inc. is approved subject to the fulfillment of the conditions set out in the Attachment 1 to this Order; and, [190] The Tribunal orders that pursuant to subsection 51(56.1) of the Planning Act, the County of Frontenac shall have the authority to clear the conditions of draft plan approval and to administer final approval of the plan of subdivision for the purposes of s. 51(58) of the Planning Act. In the event there are any difficulties implementing any of
55
Page 190 of 211 PL160168
the conditions of draft plan approval, or if any changes are required to be made to the draft plan, the Tribunal may be spoken to; and further, [191] The Township of South Frontenac is directed to amend Zoning By-law No. 200375 in accordance with the Tribunal’s Decision. “M. A. Sills”

Subject:
Settlement of Williams Treaties Land Claim
I am pleased to inform you that we have achieved a negotiated resolution of the Williams Treaties First Nations Claim. Canada, Ontario and the Williams Treaties
First Nations have signed a Settlement Agreement and the Alderville litigation has been discontinued. Please find attached a news release (Appendix A) and
backgrounder (Appendcc B) that provide further information on the settlement. As part of the Settlement Agreement, the Williams Treaties First Nations will receive financial compensation of $1. 11 billion ($666 million from Canada and $444 million from Ontario). Underthe terms of the agreement, Canada and Ontario have also formally recognized the pre-existing treaty harvesting rights of the Williams Treaties First Nations’ members to hunt, trap, fish and gatherfor food, social and ceremonial purposes within the areas covered by Treaties No. 5, 16, 18, 20 and 27-27%, the Crawford Purchase, the Gunshot Treaty and LakeSimcoe. The precise boundaries of the treaty areas will be the subject of further discussion among the parties. In the meantime, for general information on the location of these treaties please see httDS://files. ontario. ca/firstnationsandtreaties 1 . pdf. In day to day practice, this places the Williams Treaties First Nations in a similar position in terms of harvesting in the areas set out above as most other treaty First Nations in Ontario.
Also as part of the Settlement Agreement there is provision for each of the seven First Nationsto add up to 11 ,000 acres of land to their reserve land base (subject to fulfilment of the conditions of Canada’s Additions to Reserve/Reserve Creation
Policy). Lands to be added to reserve may be purchased on the open market, or from Canada or Ontario, on a willing buyer/willing seller basis.

Backgrounder: The Williams Treaties First Nations Settlement Agreement: A Journey Toward Reconciliation
Overview
The Government of Canada, the Government of Ontario and the seven Williams Treaties First Nations have reached a negotiated settlement agreement and the
Alderville litigation has been discontinued. This is a significant step forward on our path to advance reconciliation with the Williams Treaties First Nations. The seven First
Nations are: Alderville First Nation, Beausoleil First Nation, Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation, Chippewas of Rama First Nation, Curve Lake First Nation, Hiawatha First Nation and Mississaugas ofScugog Island First Nation.
Terms of the negotiated settlement include:
Financial compensation of $1. 11 billion ($666 million by Canada and $444 million .
.
by Ontario). An entitlement for each First Nation to add up to 11 ,000 acres of land to their reserve land base subject to Canada’s Additions to Reserve/Reserve Creation policy. The First Nations are responsible for acquiring these lands. Recognition of the First Nations’ continuing treaty harvesting rights and a commitment to continue to work together to implement these rights.
A commitment by Canada and Ontario to provide an oral and written statement of apology to the Williams Treaties First Nations.
Looking Back: Historic Treaties and the Alderville Litigation
The seven First Nations are signatories to various 18th and 19th century treaties that covered lands in different parts of south central Ontario. After these pre-Confederation treaties1 were signed, the First Nations maintained that they continued to have an interest in other lands in central Ontario, known as their northern hunting grounds. These lands had not yet been addressed through treaty and were increasingly being
subject to encroachment. To address these outstanding issues, new treaties (called the Williams Treaties) were signed between the seven First Nations and the Crown in 1923.
1 Treaties that were signed between the Crown and First Nations before Canada became a country in 1867
Page 204 of 211
More than 90 years later, questions remained about the making, terms, interpretation and implementation of the Williams Treaties. In 1992, the seven First Nations filed litigation to seek a resolution of this longstanding dispute. The case, known as the Alderville litigation, went to trial in 2012 before the Federal Court of Canada. In their litigation, the First Nations alleged that the Crown breached its duties to them in the making and implementation of the Williams Treaties. In particular, the First Nations alleged that they were not fairly compensated for their lands and should have received additional reserve lands at the time of treaty. Harvesting rights were another key issue raised in the Alderville litigation. The First Nations maintained that the pre-Confederation treaties they signed with the Crown protected harvesting rights and that those rights were not affected by the Williams Treaties and continue to exist.
In October 2012, based on evidence obtained and prepared for the trial, Canada and Ontario recognized on an interim basis, the treaty harvesting rights of the Williams
Treaties First Nations in Treaty No. 20. In February 2017, Canada and Ontario formally recognized these rights, not only within Treaty No. 20, but in additional preConfederation Treaty areas. With the negotiated settlement, Canada and Ontario now formally recognize the existing treaty harvesting rights of the Williams Treaties First Nations within the areas covered by Treaties No. 5, 16, 18, 20, 27-27 %; the Crawford Purchase, the Gunshot Treaty and Lake Simcoe.
The recognition of the First Nations’ constitutionally protected treaty harvesting rights to hunt, fish, trap and gather in certain pre-Confederation treaty areas for food, social and ceremonial purposes addresses a longstanding dispute between the parties. This is an important step toward renewed relationships and reconciliation with the First Nations for the benefit of everyone. Ensuring the long-term sustainability of natural resources for future generations is a key priority for all parties going forward. A New Beginning: From Litigation to Negotiations In early 2016, Canada, Ontario and the seven First Nations began substantive exploratory discussions to see if they could find the common ground to negotiate a settlement of the Aldewille litigation outside of the courts. A negotiated resolution achieved through co-operation and dialogue is preferable to litigation. In February 2017, the parties agreed to a process to begin formal negotiations toward a negotiated settlement of the Alderville litigation and the court case was adjourned on March 27, 2017 on joint consent of the parties.

Looking Ahead: Continuing to Rebuild Relationships Achievement of a negotiated settlement to resolve the Alderville litigation is an important
milestone for all parties. The Government of Canada, the Province of Ontario and the Williams Treaties First Nations will continue to work together to implement the First Nations’ constitutionally protected treaty harvesting rights and to address applications
by the First Nations to have lands added to reserve pursuant to Canada’sAdditions to Reserve/Reserve Creation policy. Further, Canada and Ontario have committed to provide an oral and written statement of apology to the Williams Treaties First Nations.
