Resolution and Public Meeting Statement
Page 6 of 265 Minutes of Council January, 25, 2022 The Clerk provided direction on receiving a notice of decision on these applications and how to appeal any decision with the Ontario Land Tribunal. Resolution No. 2022-05-03 Moved by Councillor Roberts Seconded by Councillor Leonard That a public meeting be held to allow for input on Zoning By-law Amendment applications: • Z-21-16 - 4930 Road 38 • Z-21-23 - 22 Beatrice Lane • Z-21-28 - 3810 Perth Road Carried b)
Zoning By-law Amendment Application - Z-21-16 - 2749941 Ontario Inc 4930 Road 38 Christine Woods, Senior Planner presented this application. She noted that the proposal is to change the zone on the subject property from Urban Commercial to Urban Commercial – Special Provision. This rezoning would permit a ground floor commercial space (e.g. professional office) and five residential dwelling units on the upper floors. There would be four one-bedroom apartments and one studio apartment. The effect would also be to specify zoning standards including a minimum number of off-street parking spaces and a minimum planting strip adjacent the rear and interior side lot lines. The subject property is located at the northeast corner of Road 38 and Harrowsmith Road. The property is surrounded by commercial and residential uses and is approximately 1,080 square metres (0.32 acres) in area, and has 25 metres of frontage on Road 38 and 54 metres on Harrowsmith Road. The property is developed with a three-storey building with a two-storey addition to the rear and a parking area. The building has historically been used for a variety of commercial and residential uses. It is currently used as an office for the applicant. The three-storey building is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act (Portland By-law 10-82) for its significance as a local landmark and social centre, and for its architectural details including the two-storey verandah. The subject property is subject to site plan control application SP-03-21-P under the Planning Act. This application is currently under review. The property is also subject to a community improvement plan application to fund façade improvements and to waive municipal fees. A planning justification report, servicing design brief, phase 1 environmental site assessment, architectural drawings and site plan drawings were submitted in support of the rezoning and site plan control applications. The Planning Justification Report was prepared by Fotenn assessed the appropriateness of the proposed. zoning by-law amendment in the context of the surrounding area as well as its conformity with the applicable policy and regulatory framework. The Planning Justification report suggests that adequate off-street parking is proposed to the rear of the building, within the existing asphalt area. The proposal includes 16 parking spaces. The application requests a 1.8 parking ratio for the dwelling units, whereas the Zoning By-law requires a minimum of 2 parking spaces per dwelling unit. This is the equivalent of 9 parking spaces (2 per one bedroom apartment, 1 per bachelor apartment). The report indicated that the required supply of parking for the proposed commercial use would be provided. However, staff calculated that the proposed commercial use would require 9 parking spaces per section 5.30.1.10 of the Zoning By-law (based on proposed 206.8 square metre floor
Page 2 of 11
Page 7 of 265 Minutes of Council January, 25, 2022 area, and 1 space per 23 square metres of floor area). This would result in a deficiency of two parking spaces. The applicant, through conversations with staff, is requesting a reduction to seven commercial parking spaces on the basis that the proposed office use has space for five employees. These employees regularly work off-site and are seldom in the office all at the same time. Staff also noted in the review of the site plan drawings that the proposed parking arrangement needs to be adjusted to ensure that each parking space would be readily accessible at all times and arranged in such a manner to provide access and manoeuvring space for the parking and removal of a motor vehicle without the necessity of moving another motor vehicle. The applicant is working with their architect to improve the parking arrangement. This will be shown on a revised site plan drawing and will be addressed before the site plan is brought forward to Council for consideration. Ms. Woods noted that Building Services was satisfied with the revised sewage services proposed in the Revised Servicing Design Brief (Groundwork Engineering Limited, January 12, 2022). Public Services identified the need to improve the parking arrangement, particularly the central aisle so that all of the spaces function properly. They also identified several items that will be addressed through the site plan control application including the dimensions of the accessible parking space, adequate headlight screening across from residential properties, on-site commercial waste collection facilities, and pre-defined exterior lighting details. Public Services was satisfied with the servicing and stormwater management findings but encouraged improved lot level controls associated with the new two-storey addition that would replace the existing two-storey addition at the rear of the building. Fire and Emergency Services noted that the proposed parking configuration may make it challenging for emergency vehicles to gain access to the rear of the building and the residential units. Access for emergency vehicles on the property, or on the street(s), will need to be provided to the satisfaction of the Township. This will be addressed through the site plan control application. No comments have been received from members of the public to date. Ms. Woods provided the policy framework and how this application has bee assessed based on the Provincial Policy Statement, the Frontenac Official Plan, the Township Official Plan and the Zoning By-law 2003-75. Councillor Sleeth asked if the design of the building has been assessed based on fire separation and safety. Ms. Woods explained that this assessment would be done at the building permit application stage. There would be a fire code review and safety standards that would have to be met. Councillor Morey asked what the implications are based on with this being a heritage building and what accessibility provisions need to be addressed during this zoning change. Ms. Woods indicated that these items will be considered for the main floor along with an accessible parking space and an accessible main floor entrance. Deputy Mayor Revill was supportive of this proposal and encouraged this type of development as a positive part of revitalization of township hamlets.

Page 8 of 265 Minutes of Council January, 25, 2022 Councillor McDougall questioned the limits of the Community Improvement Plan and if this included the replacement of windows. Christine Woods noted that the program can fund improvements to the facade, (the porch is the heritage feature of this building), secondly it covers the building permit fees for construction and the third item is for accessibility considerations in commercial spaces. Claire Dodds provided an overview of the CIP program Mayor Vandewal supported this development as a very positive improvement. he was concerned about the use of holding tanks and the potential for on-street parking by residents of the building. Councillor Leonard agreed that this will be an improvement to the existing building. Sarah MacInnis, the applicant, provided an overview of her vision for this building and the potential it has. She noted that the interior will essentially be entirely new through the renovation process but also keeping in mind the heritage designation component. This is a large scale project with lots of money invested in this project that will provide commercial and residential uses. She did not foresee a need for off site parking. There were no members of the public registered to speak to this application. c)
Zoning By-law Amendment Z-21-23 - Barr and Smallman-Tew - 22 Beatrice Lane Anna Geladi, Planner, presented the report on the subject property (22 Beatrice Lane) nothign that it is subject to consent application S-22-21-B for a lot addition to 179 Beatrice Lane. Provisional approval of this application was granted, subject to conditions by the Director of Development Services on June 30, 2021. Condition 9 requires the severed parcel (lot addition) to be rezoned so that the lands will have the same zone as the property it is enlarging, 179 Beatrice Lane. The subject lands consist of approximately 2.1 hectares (5.25 acres) of vacant land with 200 metres (656 feet) of frontage on Beatrice Lane and 72 metres (236 feet) of waterfrontage on Bob’s Lake. The lands are zoned Rural (RU). The severed parcel is separated from the benefitting lot by Beatrice Lane. The subject lands are being added to 179 Beatrice Lane. 179 Beatrice Lane is zoned Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW). It is developed with a principal dwelling, garage and sewage system. The purpose of the lot addition is for further enjoyment of the property for recreational use. Ms. Geladi reported that this application did not meet the criteria for circulation to Public Services and Building Services (Septic System Review). Rideau Valley Conservation Authority was not circulated on the rezoning application, as they had no objection to the approval of consent application S-22-21-B when they reviewed the consent application in 2021. No comments have been received from members of the public to date. It was noted that Director of Development Services had consideration for the 2020 PPS as well as the County and Township Official Plan in the decision to grant draft approval to consent application S-22-21-B for a lot addition. It is good planning practice to ensure that consistent zoning is applied to the enlarged parcel. The lot addition lands are proposed to be zoned RLSW, consistent with the zoning that applies to 179 Beatrice Lane. This zoning is also consistent with the other properties located along this portion of Beatrice Lane.
Page 4 of 11
Page 9 of 265 Minutes of Council January, 25, 2022 The proposal to rezone the lands through application Z-21-23 is consistent with the 2020 PPS as well as the County and Township Official Plans. A detailed policy analysis will be provided to Council following the public meeting. Councillor Morey was supportive of this application. There were no members of the public registered to comment on this application. d)
Zoning By-law Amendment Application -Z-21-28 - 1809505 Ontario Limited - 3810 Perth Road. Christine Woods, Senior Planner presented the details on this application. The subject property is zone Urban Commercial – Special Provision (UC-27). The UC-27 zone permits the full range of commercial uses listed in the UC zone, as well as four accessory residential units. The purpose of the proposed by-law is to amend the UC-27 zone to permit a fifth accessory residential unit. The effect of the proposed by-law would be to facilitate a proposed 2000 square foot, two-storey addition to the existing building that would include a fifth accessory residential unit and two additional commercial units. The subject property is located at the northeast corner of Perth Road and Davidson Road in the Inverary Settlement Area and it is is surrounded by commercial and residential uses. The subject property is 2.2 hectares (5.5 acres) in area and has 172 metres of frontage on Perth Road and 155 metres on Davidson Road. The property is developed with a two-storey building. The building contains three commercial uses on the first floor and four accessory dwelling units on the second floor. The property is also developed with an automobile service station. The proposed rezoning was assessed against the applicable policies of the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, County of Frontenac Official Plan, and Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, as well as the provisions of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. The policies indicate that rural settlement areas, such as Inverary, must be the focus of growth and development, and that their vitality and regeneration must be promoted. These policies also promote healthy, integrated, and viable rural areas that are supported by accommodating an appropriate range and mix of housing, as well as by promoting opportunities for a varied and balanced industrial/commercial base in rural settlement areas. Section 5.6 of the Township Official Plan permits commercial uses by zoning by-law amendment when Council is satisfied that the nature and scale of the proposed use is appropriate. Council approved the existing development on the property through By-laws 2017-17 and 2017-24. Adequate water and sewage disposal systems are a consideration in rural settlement areas. Section 6.10.3 of the Township Official Plan requires a report by a professional engineer or other qualified professional(s) indicating that an adequate supply of potable water is available for the use and that soil conditions are suitable for the installation of sewage system. The application for the existing development was supported by a six hour well pump test. The applicant will be required to provide confirmation that the well has sufficient capacity (volume/flow) for the additional apartment and commercial units, in support of the rezoning application. The applicant will be required to provide a hydrogeologist’s opinion on the 2017 pump test, and the suitability of
Page 5 of 11
Page 10 of 265 Minutes of Council January, 25, 2022 the data for the additional use. The opinion will also need to address water quality relative to the automotive service station on the property. In accordance with the PPS 2020 and the County Official Plan, Section 6.24 of the Township Official Plan requires contaminated sites to be remediated as necessary, and a Ministry of the Environment letter acknowledging receipt of a “Record of Site Condition” prior to development approvals being granted. A Record of Site Condition (RSC) summarizes the environmental condition of a property as of a certification date based on the completion of one or more environmental site assessments, and must be filed with the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks. Building Services has requested additional information about the proposed addition so that they can review the sewage system application to increase the size of the existing sewage system to accommodate the proposed addition. This information is needed to confirm that sufficient space is provided to accommodate an extension of the existing building and sewage system. Public Services have indicated that although parking spaces and traffic will be increased at the site, a Traffic Impact Study is not necessary at the rezoning stage based on previous and recent traffic study work on the Perth Road corridor. This site is not expected to trigger road modifications. Traffic impacts could be subject to further review at the site plan control stage if necessary. No comments have been received from members of the public to date. The criteria for whether an RSC is required is specified in Ontario Regulation 153/04 Records of Site Condition – Part XV.1 of the Act. The Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks recently advised the Township that this regulation was updated in 2019 to include criteria that requires a Record of Site Condition be submitted at the time of building permit when a proposal includes expanding a building footprint on lands that currently have a commercial use and include an addition of residential space. While it is the requirements of the Ontario Building Code that trigger the submission of an RSC – planning staff are flagging this requirement for the property owner at this time, so they are prepared to address this requirement as part of a complete building permit application Councillor Sleeth was supportive of the expansion of this commercial development as the hamlet of Inverary continues to grow. Councillor Roberts was also supportive of this expansion and felt it was great for the community. Deputy Mayor Revill felt this would was a great enhancement to the commercial viability within the township and it provides much needed housing supply . Councillor Leonard was supportive of this proposal and encouraged this type of development throughout the township. Mayor Vandewal felt this is exactly what the municipality needs and wants; development within the hamlets. No one from the public was registered to speak to this application. e)

To: Council Prepared by: Public Services Deparment Date of Meeting: April 5, 2022 Subject: Fabric Replacement on Bedford Salt Dome
Summary This report provides updated information on the Bedford dome fabric replacement and seeks Council approval on a budget amendment.
Recommendation That Council approve an additional $28,000 in the budget for the Bedford dome roof panel replacement project and that the budget increase be funded from the Facilities Reserve. That this project be awarded to The Razecon Group who is the Contractor of Record that provides the warranty work for Britespan.
Background In the fall of 2019 Public Services staff noticed deficiencies (tears) in four of the fourteen fabric roof panels on the Bedford dome. The manufacturer of the sand dome, Britespan, was notified immediately of the issue and were asked to provide a quote through their contractor, the Razecon Group, to replace the four panels under the existing ten year prorated fabric warranty.
Discussion/Analysis In 2021, Council approved an amount of $35,000 in the Capital Budget to replace the four torn fabric roof panels. However, due to extenuating circumstances, the Contractor, The Razecon Group, was unable to complete the original work and since then additional panels have continued to fail resulting in the entire roof (14 panels) requiring replacement. After discussions, Britespan has agreed to cover, under warranty, all fourteen roof panels pro-rated back to the fall of 2019 when the first four panel failure was reported. The tenyear pro-rated fabric warranty provided a credit to the Township of 52% of the fabric cost with the total cost of the labour to install the new fabric being the responsibility of the Township. This is common practice on warranty replacements. The cost to the Township for the pro-rated fabric and full cost of the labour is $50,953.44 with a remaining warranty period of 4 years. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.
Page 19 of 265 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Fabric Replacement on Bedford Salt Dome
The original fabric installed on the dome was fire rated. In discussions with the Razecon Group, staff requested a quote for both the fire rated fabric along with the upgraded elite fabric that was used for the Portland dome replacement. Upgrading to the elite fabric provides a more durable fabric and also provides the Township with an additional 6 years of warranty on the roof fabric replacement (total pro-rated warranty of 10 years). The additional cost for the upgraded fabric is $9,604.80. Staff’s recommendation incorporates the replacement of the damaged panels with the elite fabric. A quote was also received from the Contractor who provided the installation on the Hartington Salt/Sand dome. The overall cost significantly exceeded the Razecon Group’s quote due to the warranty credit being received on the fabric.
Financial Implication An additional $28,000, which includes the non-refundable portion of HST, is required to replace and install all fourteen fabric roof panels on the Bedford dome. The required funds will be drawn from the Facilities Reserve Fund.

Lowest bid price at $66,718.94 (net HST)
Overall HP Engineering presented a very thorough proposal and workplan that addressed all of the core study requirements. The proposal also fell within the available funding allocated to the activities. H P Engineering is currently working locally on the Buck Bay Bridge replacement project and has delivered those project designs on budget, within scope and within prescribed deadlines. The award of the RFP # PS-P01-2022 to provide Professional Services for Detailed Design for the Eagle Creek Bridge and Opinicon Culvert exceeds the threshold for delegated authority limit of $50,000 and as such the contract must be awarded through resolution of Council.
Financial Implications A budget of $100,000 was set aside for the detailed design of the Eagle Creek Bridge ($50,000) and the Opinicon Culvert ($50,000) in the 2022 Capital Budget. H P Engineering’s bid for these structures was $34,328.74 and $32,390.20 respectively therefore the total bid price of $66,718.94 (net HST) falls within the prescribed budget. The related Capital Budget sheets are attached and provide for further details.

To: Council Prepared by: Public Services Deparment Date of Meeting: April 5, 2022 Subject: STORRINGTON CENTRE RENOVATIONS
Summary This report provides updated information on the Storrington Centre renovation project and seeks Council approval.
Recommendation That Council approve the Tender price submitted by Jeffrey G. Wallans Construction Ltd in the amount of $658,790.00 for the renovations to the Storrington Centre.
Background The Storrington Centre is one of the Township’s most frequently booked facilities however it lacked sufficient storage space for larger events. In 2019, Council approved the amount of $400,000 to renovate the current hall. The renovation was focused on providing additional storage to allow for better use of the existing space.
Discussion/Analysis After providing information to the architect on the additional storage space needs, they developed some recommendations on better use of the overall space from the existing footprint along with the expanded footprint to not only provide for sufficient storage and a larger event space but to also make available an expanded open concept event area with a natural light component. During the design phase, the project engineer discovered the main roof of the existing hall did not meet the current standards for snow loads. That, along with the need for fire separations between the firehall and the workshop area resulted in an additional scope of work to this project by an estimated $200,000. With the expanded open concept floor space and storage from this renovation along with the renovations from 2018 that included new accessible washrooms and building

To: Council Prepared by: Public Services Deparment Date of Meeting: April 5, 2022 Subject: Stars Corners Intersection – Preferred Design Alternative
Summary This report provides a summary of the outcomes of Jewell Engineering’s review of the Stars Corners intersection (Yarker Road and Wilton Road) along with background analysis relating to the preferred design alternative for intersection upgrades.
Recommendation That Council approve the multi-way (4) stop control and reduced speed (60km/hr) zone as the preferred design alternative for the Stars Corners intersection (Yarker Road and Wilton Road). And that Council direct staff to proceed with the design and construction of the preferred solution; And furthermore, that staff prepare an amendment to the Roads and Parking Bylaw outlining the details for reduced speed limits at the approaches to the intersection of Yarker Road and Wilton Road.
Background In 2017, the Public Services Department issued Request for Proposal # P02-2017 seeking engineering services which included the design of Stars Corners (Wilton Road and Yarker Road). The review of Stars Corners was prompted by its history of motor vehicle collisions along with its unique geometric configuration. The assignment was awarded to G. D. Jewell Engineering which included preliminary design and detailed design. Further background details on the project and timeline can be found in the Council report included as Attachment A. On August 17th, 2021, Public Services staff brought forward a report providing details on the review of the project file and the progress that had been completed to date. At that time, staff noted that although accident counts had been acquired for the intersection location, the detailed reports had not yet been received or characterized as part of the project www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

review. Details such as time of day, time of year, single- vehicle accidents, multi-vehicle accidents, weather conditions and driver error were all deemed critical details to further inform design interventions. Staff later advised that this information would be obtained from our partners at the OPP and that the findings would be included in any final report. Township Council reviewed the report with staff and passed the following resolution: Stars Corners – Intersection Design Update (RFP P02-2017) Resolution No. 2021-26-11 That Council direct staff to bring forward a report outlining the screening of Options considered for the upgrades of the Stars Corners intersection along with recommendations on the preferred alternative for detailed design and construction. Carried.
Discussion/Analysis In January of 2022, Jewell Engineering met with the Public Services team to discuss the detailed accident statistics and to discuss the final screening process for alternatives being considered. On March 24th, 2022, the report was finalized and submitted to the Township (refer to Attachment B). The details of the Jewell report are very extensive therefore a condensed summary of the review process and findings are listed below. Traffic Control Study/Existing Conditions Review (refer to Sections 4.0/5.0) • inventory of existing features including site safety audit • review of peak hour traffic counts for the intersection (2018) • forecasting traffic volumes for 20 year horizon (2042) • review of level of service (LOS) using Ministry of Transportation methodology • review of collision data for 25 reported motor vehicle accidents (2013 to 2021) Intersection Improvements (refer to Section 6.0) • problem statement was confirmed with goal of reducing volume and severity of motor vehicle collisions • traffic signal warrants were reviewed using Ministry of Transportation methodology • warrants were reviewed for auxiliary left turn lanes • no warrants were found to support traffic signalization or the addition of auxiliary lanes within the design horizon (20yrs) Once all background conditions were established and future needs were confirmed the project team examined the four alternatives listed below: •
Option 1 – Existing Conditions – Do Nothing
www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.
Page 39 of 265 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Stars Corners Intersection – Preferred Design Alternative
• • •
Option 2 – Geometric Improvements with Existing Traffic Control Option 3 – Multi (4) Way Stop Option 4 - Roundabout
Each of the options were evaluated in detail for scope, safety, costs, property acquisition, traffic disruption and functional adequacy with details supplied. Options 2, 3 and 4 were carried forward for further review against a series of social, economic, and environmental weighting factors. The outcomes of this review can be found within an evaluation matrix shown on page 25 of the report. Options 2 and 4 both carried significant capital costs and property acquisition requirements which were not considered favourable outcomes. Option 4 (roundabout) was furthermore not recommended because the Transportation Association of Canada guidelines recommend that these traffic control features be sited on level ground preferably, or in sags rather than at or near the crest of hills. The guideline also recommends that they not be sited at the bottom of long descents where the down grade is significant for large vehicles and loss of control could occur. Based on the existing topography and steep profile of Yarker Road, this alternative was not selected. At the conclusion of the report, the implementation of a multi-way stop with flashing beacons, advance signage and reduced speed limits was found to be the preferred alternative. The implementation of a multi-way stop would be categorized as a Schedule A+ project within the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and as such there would be no further requirements for public review or consultation if selected. If approved, this alternative would advance to detailed design and staff would move to prepare amendments to the Traffic and Parking Bylaw to reflect the new speed limits.
Financial Implications The total combined budgets approved for the 2017 and 2020 projects (two intersections) totalled $75,000 and the expenditures to date are currently $54,123.87. If Option 3 is approved, it is anticipated that the project can be completed within the remaining budget available.

REPORT TO COUNCIL PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT
AGENDA DATE: August 17, 2021 SUBJECT:
Stars Corners – Intersection Design Update (RFP P02-2017)
RECOMMENDATION: That Council direct staff to bring forward a report outlining the screening of Options considered for the upgrades to the Stars Corners intersection along with recommendations on the preferred alternative for detailed design and construction. BACKGROUND: In 2017 the Public Services Department issued Request for Proposal # P02-2017 seeking engineering services which included the design of Stars Corners (Wilton Road and Yarker Road). The review of Stars Corners was prompted by its history of motor vehicle collisions along with its unique geometric configuration. The assignment was awarded to G. D. Jewell Engineering (GDJE) which included preliminary and detailed design. Key activities within the contract included: a) Data Collection and Review – Review of legal survey plans, accident reports, topographic mapping, engineering drawings, servicing maps and utilities. Environmental reviews and consultations with the conservation authority and other provincial agencies. b) Project Screening – Municipal Class Environmental Assessment screening to determine the applicable schedules (and consultation) that would be triggered under the various construction alternatives. c) Site and Topographical Information – Topographic surveys to capture all existing above and below ground features along with the associated horizontal and vertical alignments. Review of legal survey information showing property limits for the study areas. d) Preliminary Design – Development of alternative rehabilitation options and screening of solutions for social, environmental and financial impacts (capital and lifecycle costs). e) Through recent discussions with Jewell Engineering it was confirmed that various traffic study work was carried out in May of 2018. Accident records were also received from the OPP later that year covering the period of January 1st, 2013 to July 8th, 2018. Jewell Engineering carried out various traffic modelling activities for the intersection and modelled scenarios for the existing (2018) and future build-out conditions (2038). In all cases the turning movements were reviewed to determine the corresponding Level of Service (LOS). Options that were considered included the four alternatives listed below.
- Existing Conditions with Geometric Improvements
Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive Rural Leader
Page 42 of 265
- Multiway Stop Control (All Way Stop)
- Installation of Traffic Signals
- Roundabout On August 21st, 2019, the first draft report was supplied for the project however Jewell Engineering reported that no formal written comments were received. Jewell Engineering was later directed in 2020 to proceed with geotechnical investigations and to initiate utility relocation work specific to the intersection of Stars Corners. At that time, these activities were primarily focused on a roundabout design solution. The geotechnical report has since been completed under subcontract by Malroz Engineering and the draft report is dated March 25th, 2021. Although primarily focused on the roundabout design option, the report includes critical base information informing other design alternatives. During the spring of 2021, Jewell Engineering was requested to suspend work on the initiation of utility relocation work pending further staff review and direction on the project.
ANAYLSIS AND OPTIONS: Jewell Engineering has completed significant engineering analysis on the Stars Corners Intersection however details within the draft study report do suggest that additional work is still needed. Staff have reviewed the screening of alternatives presented in the draft report (August 2019) and have determined that some key preliminary design investigations remain outstanding. Collision data was received on the number and type of vehicle accidents at the intersection however detailed police reports were not obtained at this stage. In total there were twenty (20) accidents at the intersection from January 1, 2013 to July 8th of 2018 however four (4) of those accidents as an example were car/deer collisions. Despite the review of accident statistics, there were no individual reports obtained from the OPP for review. Individual police reports can provide additional data that can provide critical information toward the problem definition phase of the study. Details such as time of day, time of year, single vehicle accidents, multi-vehicle accidents, weather conditions, and driver error can otherwise further inform design interventions. Although there is recognition in the transportation industry that roundabouts can significantly reduce the probability and severity of motor vehicle collisions, it is important to also acknowledge that these solutions can carry significant costs. Roundabouts can also consume significant property requirements especially on corridors that support high volumes of heavy truck traffic. For those reasons staff are recommending that further investigations be carried out before advancing with any further detailed design work on the project. If further investigations should point to significant capital upgrades, the Township should also engage the general public in the review and comment on these proposals. All four of the alternatives identified in the Consultants review are considered Schedule A or A+ projects under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process and therefore public consultation is not mandatory. With that said, it does not prevent the municipality from consulting the public on some of the more significant capital upgrades such as traffic signals or a roundabout facility. At this time, staff is recommending that further detailed design work be suspended pending further project review and the presentation of screened alternatives for the consideration of Council. FINANCIAL/STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: The total combined budgets approved for the 2017 and 2020 project total $75,000 and the expenditures to date on the project is currently $40,245.08.

Figure 1: Project Location
Stars Corners is the intersection of Wilton Road and Yarker Road (a four-leg intersection), located on the southwest side of the Township. The current configuration of the intersection is a controlled two-way stop, Wilton Road being the controlled road. This intersection has experienced multiple motor-vehicle collisions (MVC’s). The Township has installed many safety features to mitigate collisions including stop ahead signs, overhead beacon light with stop sign LED solar beacon lights, and asphalt rumble strips. The average annual daily traffic (AADT) for Yarker Road east and west of the intersection based on data provided by the Township from 2012 - 2019 is approximately 2,381 and 2,854 vehicles, respectively. The counts for Yarker Road west of the intersection in November 2012 were excluded from the average as they are indicative of an anomaly. The average annual daily traffic (AADT) for Wilton Road north and south of the intersection based on the data is approximately 2,356 and 1,647 vehicles, respectively.

Scope of Work
Jewell carried out the following tasks; a) Investigation of existing intersection conditions. b) Development and preparation of preliminary design for rehabilitation of the intersection. c) Development of alternative rehabilitation options for the intersection including preliminary cost estimates. Options take into consideration the geometrics and alignment, required quantity of material removal, partial or complete replacement of components, functional adequacy and construction efforts. d) Financial analysis for the alternative rehabilitation strategies to determine the most cost effective rehabilitation option. Jewell addressed Tasks (a) to (d) inclusive by conducting a “Traffic Control Study” of the intersection.
4.0
Traffic Control Study
In a traffic control study, there are four (4) alternatives available; •
Traffic Signals;
•
Multi-Way Stop Signs;
•
Roundabout; and
•
Geometric Improvements with Existing Traffic Control.
The first step in the Traffic Control Study is to determine if the Traffic Signal Alternative meets warrants that establish the feasibility for going forward or rejecting this alternative from further analysis. Jewell followed the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) Signal Warrant methodology. The purpose of both the roadways and intersection is the “movement of people and goods”. In traffic engineering, the success of an intersection is measured by the “intersection performance”. Two (2) parameters define the intersection performance for present and future conditions:
- Level of Service (LOS); and
- Safety.
Jewell Engineering Inc.

Page 50 of 265 Township of South Frontenac RFP No. PW-PO2-2017 – Design of Two Major Intersections Traffic Control Study
The traffic analysis is based on the A.M., and P.M. Peak Hour traffic demand for Present Conditions (2022) and Future Conditions (2042). Future traffic demand is based on a 1.0 % Growth Factor for a 20-year horizon, as specified by the Township. Jewell carried out eight (8) hour manual intersection turning movement counts in May 2018 which are detailed in Appendix “A” – Traffic Data. Jewell has used the computer software SYNCHRO 9.2 to analyze the Level of Service (LOS). Safety has been considered through a “site safety audit” which included: •
Inspection of the intersection and area of influence for evidence of recent collisions or possible near misses;
•
Review of horizontal and vertical control in conjunction with driver sight lines and safe stopping distance; and
•

Existing Conditions 5.1
Intersection Condition and Controls
Stars Corners is the intersection of Yarker Road and Wilton Road, two rural arterial roads. Yarker Road has an unposted speed limit of 80 km/hr and is considered the “major” road. A short distance to the east, Yarker Road has stop sign control at County Road 38 which is the regional north-south corridor and connecting link to Highway 401. Wilton Road also has an unposted speed limit of 80 km/hr. It ends a short distance to the north in the Village of Harrowsmith at its intersection with County Road 38. It is the “minor” road and has the stop condition at Yarker Road. The topography at this intersection is rolling. Yarker Road has a horizontal alignment featuring two sharp curves and a short tangent section as seen in Figure 2 and Figure 3: Existing Condition of Yarker Road and Wilton Road.

Figure 3: Existing Condition of Yarker Road and Wilton Road
Prior to 2012, the Township installed transverse rumble strips on Wilton Road at the north and south approach to the intersection. In April 2015, the Township installed red flashing beacons above the stop signs on Wilton Road. They also installed an overhead flashing beacon in the middle of the intersection that flashes red for Wilton Road traffic and amber for Yarker Road

traffic. There is illumination in the form of a single streetlight on the north-west corner of the intersection. There is an advisory speed limit of 60km/hr through the intersection on Yarker Road. A unique feature of the setting is a local road, Quinn Road West, which is approximately 30m east of the study intersection. More details of the intersection are provided in Figure 4: Existing Condition Base Plan. In the immediate region, there are no signalized intersections or roundabouts.

Safety at the intersection was investigated through a “site safety audit”. During a site review, there was no evidence of recent collisions. The stopping sight distances on Wilton Road are considered sufficient according to the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) standards. The sight distances for southbound traffic on Wilton Road, with Yarker Road vehicles travelling at an assumed operating speed of 90km/h, are also considered sufficient for all three vehicle movements (left, through, right). The sight distances for northbound traffic on Wilton Road are considered sufficient for vehicles turning right, however, the sight distance to the east is considered insufficient for left turn and crossing movements. Data from the site safety audit can be found in Appendix “B” – Safety Audit. 5.2
Present and Future Intersection Performance
The vehicular traffic conditions are detailed in Figure 5: Present and Future Peak Hour Traffic Yarker Road and Wilton Road.

Traffic Collision Data
General traffic collision data was provided by the Township for the previous nine (9) years, 2013
- The data included information about reported collisions from police reports including primary cause of the collision, severity of the collision, and number of vehicles involved. In summary, of twenty-five (25) reported collisions between 2013 – 2021, the collisions were categorized by the following descriptions: •
Failure to Yield – 15 collisions
•
Failure to Stop – 6 collisions
•
Loss of Control – 4 collisions
Categorized by severity, the following classifications were reported: •
Fatal – 1 collision
•
Injury – 3 collisions
•
Property Damage Only – 21 collisions
Jewell Engineering Inc.
9
Page 56 of 265 Township of South Frontenac RFP No. PW-PO2-2017 – Design of Two Major Intersections Traffic Control Study
Categorized by number of vehicles involved, the collisions were reported as follows: •
Single Vehicle Collision – 4
•
Multi-Vehicle Collision – 23
The most severe collision reported between 2013 and 2021 is the fatal collision that occurred in August 2013. This collision occurred in clear weather conditions, in the evening. The cause of the collision was documented as a southbound vehicle on Wilton Road that failed to stop at the stop sign and was struck by an eastbound vehicle on Yarker Road. The collision data provided by the Township was used to consider potential factors contributing to the collisions at the subject intersection and to identify any safety concerns.

Intersection Improvements 6.1
Problem Statement
The primary area of concern for the Township at this intersection is safety. The Township of South Frontenac has installed additional safety features to mitigate vehicle collisions, however, collisions continue. The objective of the Township is to reduce the number and severity of collisions in a cost-effective manner, while considering the social, environmental and economic impacts of the solution. 6.2
Ministry of Transportation Traffic Signal Warrants
The traffic signal warrants are found in the MTO Ontario Traffic Manual, Book 12. They are as follows: •
Justification 1 - Minimum Vehicle Volume;
•
Justification 2 - Delay to Cross Traffic;
•
Justification 3 - Combination Warrant;
•
Justification 4 - Minimum Four Vehicle Volume;
•
Justification 5 - Collision Experience;
•
Justification 6 - Pedestrian Volume; and
•
Justification 7 - Projected Volumes.
For a traffic signal to be technically justified, at least one of the justifications noted above must be fulfilled.
Jewell Engineering Inc.
10
Page 57 of 265 Township of South Frontenac RFP No. PW-PO2-2017 – Design of Two Major Intersections Traffic Control Study
The following is a summary of the findings. Details of the analysis is found in Appendix “D” – Traffic Signal Warrants. Justification 1 - Minimum Vehicle Volume The Minimum Vehicle Volume Justification is intended for applications where the principal reason to consider the installation of a traffic signal is the cumulative delay produced by a large volume of intersecting traffic at an unsignalized intersection. The intersection does not meet this warrant. Justification 2 - Delay to Cross Traffic The Delay to Cross Traffic Justification is intended for applications where the traffic volume on the major road is so heavy that traffic on the minor road suffers excessive delay or hazard in entering or crossing the main road. The intersection does not meet this warrant. Justification 3 - Volume/Delay Combination Signals may occasionally be justified where neither of Justifications 1 and 2 are 100% satisfied, but both are satisfied to the extent of 80% or more of the stated values. The intersection does not meet this warrant. Justification 4 - Minimum Four Hour Vehicle Volume The minimum Four-Hour Vehicle Volume Justification is intended for applications where the intersection experiences excessive delays for four or more peak hours of the day but do not have the prolonged demands throughout the day required to meet an eight (8) hour warrant. The application of the four-hour warrant is focused on locations such as; •
Commuter-dominated Roadways, with heavy demands for two or more hours in each of the AM and PM peak, but considerably reduced demand for the remainder of the day;
•
Commercial Areas with limited demand in morning but a substantial four to six hour peak in the afternoon and early evening; or
•
Manufacturing, Office or Industrial Areas/Accesses where minor street exiting traffic experiences considerable delays when entering the major street during the mid-day and PM peak periods but the AM arrive peak realizes little side street demands.
The intersection does not meet this warrant.
Jewell Engineering Inc.
11
Page 58 of 265 Township of South Frontenac RFP No. PW-PO2-2017 – Design of Two Major Intersections Traffic Control Study
Justification 5 - Collision Experience Traffic signals may be considered as one means of improving intersection safety where an unsignalized intersection has an unusually high collision history. Collision data is used to categorize the collisions as reducible or non-reducible. Reducible collisions are susceptible to reduction following signalization, and non-reducible collisions are not susceptible to reduction. Traffic signals may be justified when fifteen (15) or more reducible collisions occur over a 36month analysis period. Detailed collision data was provided by the Township of South Frontenac and analyzed to determine the frequency of reducible and non-reducible collisions over 36 months. Seven (7) reducible collisions occurred between June 2018 and June 2021. The intersection does not meet this warrant. Justification 6 - Pedestrian Volume and Delay The minimum pedestrian volume conditions are intended for application where the traffic volume on a major road is so heavy that pedestrians experience excessive delay or hazard in crossing the major road, or where high pedestrian crossing volumes produce the likelihood of such delays and/or hazards. The intersection does not meet this warrant. Justification 7 - Projected Volumes No Traffic Impact Study (TIS) had been completed for a development proposal in the study area recommending the need for traffic signals at this location. Based on the LOS of future conditions in this study, traffic signals are not warranted. The intersection does not meet this warrant. The intersection of Wilton Road (County Road 29) and Yarker Road (County Road 4) does not meet traffic signal warrants for either current or future (2042) conditions. 6.3
Additional Warrants
In addition to the traffic signal warrant and the analysis of alternative solutions, Jewell Engineering determined whether additional turning lanes are warranted for Yarker Road.
Jewell Engineering Inc.
12
Page 59 of 265 Township of South Frontenac RFP No. PW-PO2-2017 – Design of Two Major Intersections Traffic Control Study
Left turn Lane Warrants The warrant for additional left turn lanes are determined from TAC design manual graphs which have the following planning parameters; •
Design speed;
•
Peak hour opposing volume;
•
Peak hour advancing volume; and
•
Percent left turns.
Separate left turn lanes are not required on Yarker Road for present and future conditions. Details of the analysis for additional left turn lanes on Yarker Road can be found in Appendix “E” – MTO Left Turn Warrants. 6.4
Alternative Improvements
The study location has the following alternatives:
- Existing Conditions – Do Nothing
- Geometric Improvements with Existing Traffic Control
- Multi (4) Way Stop
- Roundabout These alternatives were identified and evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively through a selection of criteria including expected reduction of collisions, costs, property acquisition requirements, traffic disruption, and functional adequacy. 6.4.1
Existing Conditions – Do Nothing
The ‘Do Nothing’ alternative is eliminated as an option. Failure to do anything will not address the Township’s concerns regarding the safety of the intersection. 6.4.2
Geometric Improvements with Existing Traffic Control
A review of the site identified the presence of a “broken back” curve on Yarker Road. The intersection topography includes less than ideal grades which compound the issues created by the “broken back” curve. A broken back curve is defined as a section of horizontal alignment having a short tangent roadway section between two sharp curves. Road sections with broken back curves have been
Jewell Engineering Inc.
13
Page 60 of 265 Township of South Frontenac RFP No. PW-PO2-2017 – Design of Two Major Intersections Traffic Control Study
found to experience an increased number of “Out of Control” collisions. Vehicles are being acted upon by centrifugal forces of turning and pavement friction as they move through super elevations in the horizontal curves. When conditions require the construction of a broken back curve, a minimum length of 450 meters of road with normal crown is required between curves in the same direction. The broken back curve is highlighted in Figure 6: Yarker Road Broken Back Curve. There is not a true tangent section between the curves.
Figure 6: Yarker Road Broken Back Curve
Modifying the existing geometry of the road would include rounding the horizontal curve to provide an improved and increased radius as per TAC standards. This involves extending the curve to begin sooner and moving the intersection southerly. It would also include vertical grade changes to provide appropriate sight distances and levelling at the intersection. Safety It is likely that the geometry of the horizontal alignment contributes to the frequency of single motor vehicle collisions at this intersection. Since 2013, four reported collisions out of 25 have been single motor vehicle collisions where the vehicle “lost control”. The site safety review and collision data provided by the Township of South Frontenac also identified insufficient sight distances for vehicles travelling northbound on Wilton Road. While in

a stop condition, the intersection sight distance to see vehicles travelling westbound on Yarker Road at an assumed operating speed of 90km/hr is below the minimum distance required for vehicles to cross the intersection or make a left turn. According to the collision data, fifteen (15) of the twenty-five (25) reported collisions since 2013 have been caused by failure to yield to traffic travelling on Yarker Road. Four (4) of the fifteen (15) collisions occurred when a northbound vehicle failed to yield to a vehicle travelling westbound on Yarker Road. Geometric improvements to increase the intersection sight distances has the potential to reduce the frequency of this type of collision. However, in analyzing this option, a conservative approach was used and did not consider this potential reduction. There is insufficient data to conclude that the cause of these collisions was the sight distance and not excessive speed of the oncoming vehicles. Costs The preliminary initial construction cost of this alternative is approximately $715,000. This estimate excludes the cost of potential property acquisition and design fees. A geotechnical investigation performed by Malroz Engineering Inc. brought attention to bedrock <2m below the existing roadway, east of the intersection. There are additional potential construction costs associated with the removal of the rock as may be required to allow for an acceptable roadbase where the vertical and horizontal grades are changed. With regards to the life cycle costs of this option, the maintenance costs are comparable to the existing maintenance costs as there are likely no additional traffic control devices and minimal signs that would be required. Property Acquisition Another consideration for this alternative is property acquisition. In order to facilitate the design of improved horizontal and vertical geometry of the road at the intersection, property acquisition would be required. Negotiations would likely be required with two landowners, south of Yarker Road, on either side of Wilton Road. There are many implications of property acquisition, including costs as well as relationship with the public. Although these aspects would need to be considered, property acquisition is likely possible. Traffic Disruption Improving the horizontal and vertical geometry of the intersection would cause a fair amount of traffic disruption during construction. It is expected that the users may experience delays for a few months while the construction is ongoing.

Functional Adequacy This alternative solution will facilitate traffic travelling on Wilton Road and Yarker Road, as well as traffic travelling to or from Quinn Road from Yarker Road. Quinn Road may require minor adjustments to tie-into the final location of Yarker Road. The intersection will function as it does currently.
Further to this alternative solution, the posted speed on Yarker road could also be reduced to 60km/hr to potentially reduce the likelihood and/or severity of collisions at the intersection. There are multiple residences on Yarker Road from County Road 38 to Wilton Road and so the reduced speed would be appropriate for the area. The introduction of the curve earlier in the roadway may increase driver workload, and paired with the posted speed limit reduction, may reduce driver speeds. Other perceptual cues could be considered to accompany a posted speed limit reduction.
Improvements to the horizontal and vertical alignment is carried forward as a potential alternative.
6.4.3
Multi-Way (4) Stop Sign Control
The existing condition of the intersection has only traffic travelling on Wilton Road in a stop condition. The implementation of a multi-way (4) stop sign control at this intersection would result in a stop condition for traffic travelling on both Wilton Road and Yarker Road. The function of the multi-way stop is shown in Figure 7: Multi (4) Way Stop Concept.

Figure 7: Multi (4) Way Stop Concept
This improvement would include stop sign assemblies with flashing beacons, and advance warning signs, designed according to TAC Standards and Ontario Traffic Manuals. Other measures to alert drivers to the stop condition could be implemented such as transverse rumble strips. Additional temporary signage would also be recommended to alert drivers to the new change in intersection type. Safety It is reasonable to expect, based on the analysis of collision data provided by the Township, that a multi-way stop may reduce a number of collisions. The collisions expected to be reduced are those caused by the loss of control on Yarker Road, as well as the collisions caused by failure to yield on Wilton Road to vehicles travelling east-west on Yarker Road. The vehicles that would otherwise lose control on Yarker Road can be expected to be travelling at a lower speed to come to a stop at the intersection, and thus may not lose control. Furthermore, the traffic on Wilton Road would not have to yield to oncoming traffic of speeds in excess of 80km/hr, and the Jewell Engineering Inc.

collisions caused by this failure may be reduced. These types of collisions account for nineteen (19) out of twenty-five (25) of the reported collisions at this intersection from 2013 to 2021. In analyzing this option, a conservative approach was used, and the collisions caused by failure to stop at the stop condition were considered to continue even with a multi-way stop. However, it is noted that there is potential for the number and/or severity of these collisions to be reduced as well. It is considered that with all users coming to a stop, a vehicle may anticipate another vehicle that does not show signs of stopping and react cautiously. Without qualitative data of this scenario, Jewell Engineering used the conservative approach. Costs The preliminary initial construction cost of this alternative is approximately $13,000. This estimate excludes the cost of potential property acquisition and design fees. However, there are no expected property acquisition costs, and design fees for this alternative are likely very minor. Life cycle costs for maintenance that would need consideration beyond the existing conditions are costs of maintenance for additional signs (small and large), as well as costs of maintenance for additional traffic controls such as flashing beacons. Property Acquisition This alternative does not require changes to the geometry of the road, and thus no property acquisition is expected. Traffic Disruption The installation of a multi-way stop is likely to result in very minimal traffic disruption. Users may expect a delay for a few days as construction operations include sign installation, beacon installation, and pavement marking. Functional Adequacy The functional adequacy of the intersection for a multi-way stop remains the same as the existing functional adequacy. Traffic movements would remain possible for traffic travelling on Yarker Road, Wilton Road, and Quinn Road.
The LOS at the intersection would also be improved with a multi-way stop. Although there would be a marginal increase in delay for vehicles travelling on Yarker Road, there would be a significant reduction in delay for vehicles traveling on Wilton Road.

It should be noted that the topography may limit the sight lines and safe stopping distance for the implementation of stop signs on Yarker Road. Consideration would be given to placement of advance warning signs and speed reduction in the design. A posted speed limit reduction to 60km/hr may be implemented on Yarker Road for the westbound traffic approaching the intersection. According to TAC guidelines, a posted speed reduction alone with no changes in other cues may have limited effect on driver speed decision-making. However, east of the intersection, there are multiple residences with decreased setback, so the “road message” that high-speed travel is not appropriate, along with limited sight lines, support this posted reduction.
A multi-way (4) stop sign control is carried forward as a potential alternative.
6.4.4
Roundabout Alternative
The study area has a unique setting with the crossroads of two regional highway corridors and a rural local road: •
Wilton Road (County Road 18);
•
Yarker Road (County Road 4); and
•
Quinn Road West.
Having one intersection to service traffic demand of these three corridors reduces conflicts in the study area. A roundabout is a variation of a traffic circle, where the vehicles yield at entry to the vehicles in the path of the roundabout. A general example of a roundabout applicable to Stars Corners is shown in Figure 8: Roundabout Concept at Stars Corners.

Figure 8: Roundabout Concept at Stars Corners
A roundabout may be chosen as a potential improvement for several reasons outlined in TAC standards. The following reasons are applicable to Stars Corners; •
to provide a greater measure of safety at a site with high rates of right-angle, head-on, left/through, and U-turn collisions.
•
To accommodate locations with low or medium traffic volumes, instead of signals.
There are, however, limitations that exist at Stars Corners where a roundabout is not recommended. According to TAC standards, a roundabout should be sited on level ground preferably, or in sags rather than at or near the crests of hills because it is difficult for drivers to appreciate the layout when approaching on an up gradient. Furthermore, roundabouts should not be sited immediately at the bottom of long descents where the down grade is significant for large vehicles and loss of control could occur. Based on the existing topography and steep profile of Yarker Road, both concerns are valid and must be considered in the design, should a roundabout be selected.
Jewell Engineering Inc.

Page 67 of 265 Township of South Frontenac RFP No. PW-PO2-2017 – Design of Two Major Intersections Traffic Control Study
Safety Through analysis of the collision data provided by the Township, a roundabout has the potential to reduce the likelihood of collisions caused by loss of control on Yarker Road, failure to yield by vehicles on Wilton Road to those travelling on Yarker Road, as well as failure to stop at a stop condition by vehicles travelling on Wilton Road. These categories of collisions account for all twenty-five (25) reported collisions at this intersection from 2013 to 2021. It is noted that a roundabout will not reduce every collision, and may result in collisions of a different nature, such as rear-end or failure to yield to vehicles in the circle. It is expected however, that these collisions may be less severe than those that have occurred in the previous 9 years at this intersection due to the function of the intersection and the reduced speed of the approaches. Costs The preliminary initial construction cost of this alternative is approximately $2,000,000. Construction costs can be expected to be high for this option due to the steep existing grades when considering a roundabout. This estimate excludes the cost of potential property acquisition and design fees. A geotechnical investigation performed by Malroz Engineering Inc. brought attention to bedrock <2m below the existing roadway, east of the intersection. The removal of the bedrock in areas where required to achieve the recommended road base and associated proper drainage will introduce additional construction costs. With regards to the life cycle costs of this option, the Township must consider the maintenance costs that would differ from existing. These costs would include the maintenance of additional road area (asphalt maintenance, pavement marking maintenance, curb and gutter repairs), as well as maintenance of additional signs. Should any additional lighting be required, these fixtures may also have associated maintenance costs. Property Acquisition Property acquisition is expected to be required in this area for the construction of a roundabout. Negotiations may be required with 4 landowners, for each quadrant of the existing intersection. Although certainly possible, the Township must consider their appetite for the implications of property acquisition, including costs and relationship with the property owners and the public.

Page 68 of 265 Township of South Frontenac RFP No. PW-PO2-2017 – Design of Two Major Intersections Traffic Control Study
Traffic Disruption The construction of the roundabout alternative would cause traffic disruption in the area. Users may expect traffic delays for a whole construction season, and possibly longer. Detour routes may be required and have effects on the travelling public. Functional Adequacy The functional adequacy of this intersection may be reduced with the implementation of a roundabout. With the additional leg to the intersection (Quinn Road) in between the north and east leg of the roundabout, space limitations could result in reduced function for vehicles travelling to or from Quinn Road. This could still be the case if Quinn Road is not included in the roundabout and kept in the same location. Although further design would be needed to determine if it is possible, maintaining the functional adequacy of all three roads would certainly be a challenge.
A posted speed limit reduction may be considered for the east approach of the roundabout on Yarker Road. The multiple residences give a road message that high-speed travel is not appropriate, and paired with a posted speed limit reduction, may decrease driver operating speeds. The roundabout itself will also increase the driver workload and decrease sightlines, so reducing the posted speed limit to 60km/hr on the remaining approaches may be supported by the perceptual cues.
Although the estimated costs of a roundabout are high, especially in consideration of the steep grades and cut/fill required, the roundabout does have the potential of meeting the Township’s objectives. Therefore, this improvement is carried forward as a potential alternative.

Evaluation of Potential Improvements
The identification of alternate solutions resulted in three options with potential to meet the Township’s objectives; geometric improvements, multi-way stop, and roundabout. These solutions were evaluated by the desirable outcome for a selection of criteria. Along with the criteria discussed with each option (expected reduction of collisions, construction costs, property acquisition, traffic disruption, and functional adequacy), the social costs of the collisions reduced
Jewell Engineering Inc.
22
Page 69 of 265 Township of South Frontenac RFP No. PW-PO2-2017 – Design of Two Major Intersections Traffic Control Study
and remaining were also investigated. This was done through an analysis of cost-effectiveness of each potential alternative. Expected Collision Reduction The expected collision reduction desirability was determined by analyzing the past collision data and the types/causes of the collisions. The more types and number of collisions that are likely reduced, the more desirable the improvement. Construction Costs Construction costs include the capital costs required to implement the improvement as noted in section 6.4. The less the construction costs, the more desirable the improvement. Property Acquisition Property acquisition criteria is based on whether, and how much, property acquisition would be required for the improvement. The more property, and the more landowners to acquire from, the less desirable the improvement. Traffic Disruption Traffic disruption criteria is based on the effects on traffic throughout the construction of the improvement. The less traffic disruption, the more desirable the improvement. Functional Adequacy Functional adequacy was determined by looking into how the intersection will function after the improvement, and whether the improvement is feasible. The more functional the intersection, the more desirable the improvement. Cost-Effectiveness The cost-effectiveness of the alternative was determined by comparison of the costs should no improvements be implemented, to the outcome of costs should each improvement be implemented. The costs considered in this analysis included the initial construction costs, as well as the social costs of the collisions. The estimated social costs of the collisions were determined based on information from Transport Canada collected in 2004 and analyzed in 2007 1. Although these costs may fluctuate yearly, for the purpose of this study and due to the 1 Vodden, K., Smith, D., Eaton, F., & Mayhew, D. (2007). Analysis and Estimation of the Social Cost of
Motor Vehicle Collisions in Ontario: Final Report. TNS Canadian Facts, Social and Policy Research. Transport Canada. Jewell Engineering Inc.

large scale of the costs, they were considered applicable to the current and short term future timeframe. These costs are inclusive of property damage, hospital costs, legal fees, emergency services, tow trucks, and traffic delays, and are separated by collision severity; fatal, injury, or property damage only. For the purpose of this study, human costs such as human consequence and disability were not included. These costs were analyzed with the reported collision data for the Stars Corners intersection to determine the estimated average social costs of each cause and severity of collision per year, as shown in Appendix “F” – Collision Data Summary and Costs. Based on these values, the study then projected the estimated average social costs for 20 years. This is considered the lifecycle for the intersection improvements and was chosen because beyond this timeframe, the existing traffic and collision data cannot be extrapolated with accuracy due to a high likelihood of changes by this time. The total costs were then calculated for each option based on the estimated costs of yearly collisions by cause and severity that would be expected to remain, regardless of the improvement, in addition to the construction costs of the improvement. The cost-effectiveness was determined by comparing the costs and outcomes of each alternative to the baseline (do nothing). A cost-benefit ratio of construction costs to social cost savings (due to collision reductions) over a 20-year period was calculated to determine a value of dollars spent per dollar of saving. Based on these ratios, the horizontal/vertical improvements and the roundabout alternatives are not considered cost-effective during a 20-year period. However, the multi (4) way stop is cost effective, with a ratio of $0.03/dollar saving. This means that for the Township to reduce their social costs of collisions by $1.00, they must spend approximately $0.03. The calculations and ratios are shown in Appendix “G” – CostEffectiveness Calculations. Environmental Impact The environmental impact with regards to the natural and physical environment was considered, however, an exhaustive investigation was not performed as part of this study. In general, it may be noted that more construction can be expected to produce more greenhouse gases and consume more virgin materials. However, the footprint of any of the described improvements to the existing intersection can be expected to be minor when compared to constructing a new intersection through undeveloped land. As such, the environmental impact with regards to the natural and physical environment was not included in the comparison of alternatives.

Recommendations
Three viable intersection improvements have been identified through this traffic control study that have the potential to meet the Township’s objectives. Traffic Signals are not warranted for this intersection based on MTO Traffic Manuals. Through a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of these options, the multi-way (4) stop control is a suitable improvement with desirable cost-effectiveness, as well as desirable outcomes for criteria such as construction costs, property acquisition requirements, and traffic disruption. Furthermore, the multi-way stop control option may provide a limited cost risk for the initial implementation. Should this improvement be installed and monitored, and the Township decides to implement an alternative option, either may be implemented with minor losses in construction cost, when compared to selecting the geometric improvements or the roundabout as an initial measure. Jewell Engineering notes that the remaining two options, geometric improvements and roundabout, are both feasible options based on the traffic control study and could be implemented should the Township wish to pursue these. However, the multi-way stop is the option most closely suited to the Township’s objective with consideration of the evaluated criteria.

APPENDIX C SYNCHRO REPORTING

APPENDIX “C”
Level of Service for Unsignalized Intersections Unsignalized intersections follow the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) method for measuring an intersection’s capacity. The method sums the amount of time required to serve all movements at saturation for a given cycle length and divides by that reference cycle length. This method is similar to taking a sum of critical volume to saturation flow rates (v/s), yet allows minimum timings to be considered. The ICU can tell you how much reserve capacity is available or how much the intersection is overcapacity. The ICU Level of Service should not be confused with delay-based Level of Service such as the Highway Capacity manual (HCM). Both are providing information about the performance of an intersection while measuring a different objective function. The ICU LOS reports on the amount of reserve capacity or capacity deficit. The delay- based LOS reports on the average delay experienced by motorists. A brief description of the conditions expected for each ICU Level of Service is as follows: Level of Features ICU Service —————————————————————————————————————————–A The intersection has no congestion. A cycle of 80 seconds or less will ≤0.55 move traffic efficiently. All traffic should be served on the first cycle. Traffic fluctuations, accidents, and lane closures can be handled with minimum congestion. This intersection can accommodate up to 40% more traffic on all movements. B
The intersection has very little congestion. Almost all traffic will be served on the first cycle. A cycle length of 90 seconds or less will move traffic efficiently. Traffic fluctuations, accidents, and lane closures can be handled with minimum congestion. The intersection can accommodate up to 30% more traffic on all movements.
≤0.55 and ≤0.64
C
The intersection has no major congestion. Most traffic should be served on the first cycle. A cycle length of 100 seconds or less will move traffic efficiently. Traffic fluctuations, accidents, and lane closures may cause some congestion. The intersection can accommodate up to 20% more traffic on all movements.
≤0.64 and ≤0.73
D
The intersection normally has no congestion. The majority of traffic should be served on the first cycle. A cycle length of 110 seconds or less will move traffic efficiently. Traffic fluctuations, accidents, and lane closures can cause significant congestion. The intersection can accommodate up to 10% more
≤0.73 and ≤0.82
Page 90 of 265
traffic on all movements. E
The intersection is right on the verge of congested condition. Many vehicles ≤0.82 are not served on the first cycle. A cycle length of 120 seconds is required to and move all traffic. Minor traffic fluctuations, accidents, and lane closures can ≤0.91 cause significant congestion. Sub optimal signal timings can cause significant congestion. The intersection has less than 10% reserve capacity available.
F
The intersection is over capacity and likely experiences congestion periods of 15 to 60 minutes per day. Residual queues at the end of green are common. A cycle length over 120 seconds is required to move all traffic. Minor traffic fluctuations, accidents, and lane closures can cause increased congestion. Sub optimal signal timings can cause increased congestion.
≤0.91 and ≤1.0
G
The intersection is 10% to 20% over capacity and likely experiences congestion periods of 60 to 120 minutes per day. Long queues are common. A cycle length over 120 seconds is required to move all traffic. Motorists may be choosing alternative routes, if they exist, or making fewer trips during the peak hour. Signal timings can be used to “ration” capacity to priority movements.
≤1.0 and ≤1.09
H
The intersection is 20% over capacity and could experience congestion periods over 120 minutes per day. Long queues are common. A cycle length over 120 seconds is required to move all traffic. Motorists may be choosing alternative routes, if they exist, or make fewer trips during the peak hour. Signal timings can be used to “ration” capacity to priority movements.
≤1.09
Level of Service for Signalized Intersections The capacity of signalized intersections is determined on the basis of the “Saturation Flow Method” taken from the Canadian Capacity Guide for signalized Intersections. The first edition of the Guide was produced by the Canadian District of the Institute of Transportation Engineers in February 1984. The second edition, dated June 1995 is the version which now forms the basis of our analytical method. To assist in clarifying the arithmetic analysis associated with traffic engineering, it is often useful to refer to “Level of Service”. The term Level of Service implies a qualitative measure of traffic flow at a intersection. It is dependent on vehicle delay and vehicle queue lengths at the approaches. The level of service is usually calculated in terms of the ratio between traffic volumes and approach capacity, or V/C ratio. The Level of Service can also be calculated in terms of the average stopped delay. The following table describes the characteristics of each level:
Page 91 of 265
Level of Features V/C Delay Service Ratio (sec) ——————————————————————————————————————————At this level of service, almost no signal phase is fully utilized by traffic. Very seldom does a vehicle wait longer than one one A red indication. The approach appears open, turning movements 0 - 0.59 ≤ 10 are easily made and drivers have freedom of operation.
B
At this level, an occasional signal phase is fully utilized and many phases approach full use. Many drivers begin to feel somewhat restricted within platoons of vehicles approaching the intersection.
C
At this level, the operation is stable though with more frequent fully utilized signal phases. Drivers feel more restricted and occasionally may have to wait more than one red signal indication and queues may develop behind turning vehicles. This level is normally employed in urban intersection design.
D
At this level, the motorist experiences increasing restriction and instability of flow. There are substantial delays to approaching vehicles during short peaks within the peak period. but there are enough cycles with lower demand to permit occasional clearance of developing queues and prevent excessive backups.
E
At this level, capacity is reached. There are long queues of vehicles waiting upstream of the intersection, and delays to vehicles may extend to several signal cycles.
F
At this level, saturation occurs with vehicle demand exceeding the available capacity.

To: Council Prepared by: Public Services Deparment Date of Meeting: April 5, 2022 Subject: Green Bay Road – Crossing at Camsel Creek
Summary This report provides an update on the request from the Greater Bob’s and Crow Lakes Association and Foundation for a joint fisheries enhancement project on Green Bay Road at Camsel Creek (1.1km east of New Road).
Recommendation That Council approve Option 3 and proceed with a Township funded Hydrological/Hydraulic Study for the purposes of determining the sizing for the Camsel Creek crossing on Green Bay Road; And That Council approve funding in the amount of $5,000 from the Asset Investment Reserve for the project.
Background On October 18th, 2019, the Greater Bob’s and Crow Lakes Association and Foundation came forward as a delegation to the Public Services Committee to discuss the potential for a joint project on Green Bay Road at Camsel Creek. Historically, the Doran wetland and Bob’s Lake were connected east of New Road by a bridge structure. That bridge failed many years ago and the Township replaced it with two culverts as an emergency measure to restore access over the causeway. The shallow bury culverts installed at the location are 1200mm and 900mm in size accordingly. These culverts are perched out of the water for much of the year and in the spring, the rate of flow through these culverts is so heavy that fish cannot readily transit upstream. Based on reports supplied by the foundation, the fish barrier is believed to be impacting the historic spawning grounds for walleye. Back in 2019, the Foundation agreed to supply a donation of $20,000 to the Township to support the engineering work for the development of a renewed crossing. The ultimate goal of the project would be to improve spawning ground and fish access between Bobs Lake and the Doran wetlands. The funding proposal offered at that time was intended to support www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.
Page 116 of 265 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Green Bay Road – Crossing at Camsel Creek
field surveys, geotechnical investigations, hydrological/hydraulic studies, roadside safety review and detailed design work. The only stipulations that were placed on the funding would be that the Township fund the physical construction of the work in the following year in 2020 to qualify for release of the payment. Further, the Association has requested that adjacent and affected landowners be kept informed. Minutes from the 2019 meeting concluded that the Director would bring back a report outlining the costs for this project. The minutes further indicated that the funding would be included in the operating budgets for culverts within the 2020 budget (see Attachment A). It is apparent that the momentum on this project was later impacted by the onset of the pandemic and later stalled by staffing turnover within the Public Services Department.
Discussion/Analysis On January 14th, 2022, the Manager of Technical Services and Infrastructure met on site with Jim McIntosh to view the crossing and to discuss the overall project objectives. Through these discussions, it was determined that the culvert replacement would likely involve a much larger crossing project once the Ministry of Transportation design flows are applied with the appropriate return period (i.e. 25 or 50yr storm). With that understanding the project will likely carry a significant capital cost. At this time, Council has several Options to consider in response to the request: Option 1 – Do Nothing The two culverts at the Camsel Creek Crossing are considered to be in fair condition and most likely have a minimum of 10 years service life remaining. The pipes are therefore not considered to be within the Township’s short term capital program at this time. If the project does not proceed, the Township may potentially lose funding opportunities of $20,000 and the fish barrier would remain in place for an extended period. Option 2 – Proceed with Project If Council elects to proceed with the project a Memorandum of Understanding would be developed with the Greater Bob’s and Crow Lakes Association and Foundation that would set out the terms for the project and terms regarding release of funding. An important factor to note with this approach is that the project is yet to be defined and the hydrological/hydraulic studies may dictate a much larger (and climate resilient) crossing. Council’s acceptance to proceed with this project may therefore pre-commit the Municipality to funding a 2023 project that is yet to be scoped or supplied with a Class D estimate. The Township may also have to supply additional funding above the $20,000 grant to complete the detailed design if agency approvals prove to be much more extensive than anticipated.

Page 117 of 265 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Green Bay Road – Crossing at Camsel Creek
Option 3 (Recommended) – Proceed with Township Funded Hydrological/Hydraulic Study If Council were to proceed with this option, the Township could fund the hydrological/hydraulic study for the crossing and that would enable the partners to understand the potential scope of the replacement crossing along with, at minimum a Class D Estimate (+/- 20%) for any capital cost that is likely to follow. We anticipate that this engineering assignment would cost between $3,000 and $5,000 and would offer valuable project information that would at a minimum inform the asset management plan. Once this information is available, a follow up report could be supplied to Council ahead of any formal commitment to proceed with the project.
Financial Implications The financial implications of Options 1 and 3 are well defined at $0 and $5,000 respectively. If Council should choose to proceed with Option 2, staff are cautioning that the total financial commitment for any follow up capital work in 2023 are otherwise unknown at present.

Other items that will be considered include:
- price per tonne vs price to household
- should private lanes be grandfathered into the new contract? or should private lanes be treated the same
- specifications of equipment age of vehicle, cart tipping capabilities, etc a should food waste/organics be included?
The Director noted that 2023 is the year for implementation of the producer responsibility with completion expected in 2026. Issuing a new RFP for both garbage and recycling in September 2020 with a five year term with a 2 or 3 year option for renewal was suggested. The township will have the new garbage truck within the next month and greater efficiency is anticipated as it will only have to be dumped once a day due to compaction capabilities.

Most walleye populations spawn in rivers, creeks, and intermittent streams that are upstream tributaries of a lake. They will spend most of the year in
The Greater Bobs and Crow Lakes Association (GBCLA) and Foundation (GBCLF) are working to restore this prized Fishery by restoring Walleye spawning grounds in key areas of the lake. We have completed 4 such projects and are here today to talk about an important 5th site at Camsel Creek between the Doran Wetlands and Green Bay of Bobs Lake.
But all of that is changing. The Walleye fishery on Bobs and Crow lakesis in trouble. In 2008 MNRF netting surveys showed Walleye accountingfor 6% of the catch. In 2018 it was less than 1% (Appendix 1). Walleye is perhaps the most valued fish species in Ontario. They are prized as a food fish and support both recreational and commercial fisheries.-Recreational angling for walleye also forms the basis of an important touristindustry. Many of Ontario’s walleye fisheries are subjected to stresses which can include overexploitation, habitat degradation, and introductions of new species. The Bobs and Crow Lake fisheries are no exception.
Bobs Lake has had one of the best Fisheries in Southern Ontario. This has attracted tourism, cottagers and an important employment and tax base to the region.
The vast majority of the lake is in Bedford Township, part of the municipality of South Frontenac with a small tip of MillBay at the north end in Central Frontenac and the northeast in Tay Valley Township.
Bobs Lake is part of the the Tay and Rideau watersheds, both tributaries of the Ottawa and St. Lawrence. A large lake covering 7,962 acres with more than 120 islands and 740 km of shoreline, Bobs Lake features granite outcroppings and extensive marshlands.

These culverts are out of the water most of the year and in spring the rate of flow through these culverts is such that fish cannot transit upstream. Effectively the culverts have blocked transit between the wetlands and the lake and historic spawning grounds of walleye.

The Association has obtained landowner consent in principle for the project providing he is kept up to date with all developments and and will coordinate application for any permits required by other agencies such as RVCA, DFO and MNRF. The Association will also provide volunteers for the creation of the spawning bed once the structure has been installed.
The detail design is expected to be completed by Spring 2020, and construction could begin in late Summer/Fall 2020, when the water levels are low.
The main objectives of this assignment include: (1) Topographical Survey and Base Plan Preparation, (2) Geotechnical Investigation, (3) Hydrological/Hydraulic Study, (4) Roadside Safety Review, (5) Detailed Design Drawings, and (6) Quantity Calculations and Cost Estimates.
We have had preliminary discussions with Mclntosh Perry Consulting Engineers (Mclntosh Perry) and they are prepared to submit to the Township of South Frontenac a proposal to provide engineering consulting services to undertake the replacement of Green Bay Road Twin Culvert. The services will include, but not limited to geotechnical investigation, topographic survey, hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, roadside safety review, and detailed design.
The Foundation has agreed to provide a donation to the Township in the amount of $20,000 to support the engineering work for the project on completion of the works.
The Association and Foundation would like to work with the municipality to restore Camsel Creek by replacing the existing culverts with a fish habitat friendly structure that would allow for restoration of the creek bed, creation of a Walleye spawning ground and fish access between the Doran wetlands and Bobs lake at Green Bay.

To: Council Prepared by: Public Services Deparment Date of Meeting: April 5, 2022 Subject: Tennis/Pickle Ball Court Fence Repair – Centennial Park
Summary This report recommends funding that is required to repair the tennis/pickle ball court fencing at Centennial Park damaged by high winds this past winter.
Recommendation That Council approve an amount of $18,000 for repairs to the south west side of the tennis/pickle ball court fence at Centennial Park to be funded through the Infrastructure Reserve Fund.
Background During inspections of all the Parks after a wind storm this winter, Public Services staff found the fence surrounding the tennis/pickle ball courts at Centennial Park damaged by the high winds.
Discussion/Analysis Staff estimates the cost to replace the damaged section of fencing at $18,000. These repairs were unplanned but it is critical to undertake these repairs as soon as possible as this will impact the use of the courts. Staff are in the process of obtaining quotes in meeting with our Procurement Policy but are asking for budget approval on the estimated cost of $18,000 in order to expedite the repairs. It is anticipated that once Council approval is received for the funding on the repairs, the work would be completed by mid to late April in time for the start of the season.
Financial Implications The fence replacement estimated in the amount of $18,000 will be funded through the Infrastructure Reserve Fund.

To: Council Prepared by: Public Services Deparment Date of Meeting: April 5, 2022 Subject: Centennial Park Portable Soccer Nets
Summary Staff have received a request from the Frontenac Soccer Association requesting the addition of two portable soccer nets at Centennial Park.
Recommendation That Council approve the amount of $12,600 for the purchase of two commercial grade portable soccer nets and that the purchase be funded from the Parkland Reserve
Background The Frontenac Soccer association (FSA)has requested the purchase of two additional portable soccer nets to further support the growth in children and youth recreational soccer in South Frontenac. In the past, in addition to Centennial Park, the FSA utilized the fields at the Frontenac Community Arena and Harrowsmith Public School. The Arena and School fields are no longer available and the preference by the organization and participants is to consolidate all activities at the Centennial Park fields. A copy of the request for support from FSA is attached.
Discussion/Analysis The Recreation and Arena manager has obtained a quote from our vendor of record for the purchase of two commercial grade portable soccer nets. The total cost for the portable soccer nets is $12,600. Once approved, the equipment will be ordered and located at the site for the start of the soccer season in late May.
Financial Implications The portable soccer nets are a request which was not included in the 2022 Capital Budget. Staff recommends that the purchase be funded through the Parkland reserve

Sincerel,
\
On behalf of our Soccer Players thank you for your consideration in the purchase ofthese portable nets so Frontenac Soccer can expand our program and serve a greater number of families in South Frontenac.
We are looking to get as much participation at Centennial fields and having additional portable nets will give us the ability to meet the growing interest in soccer in our community. We have committed to using the Centennial fields for all soccer divisions in 2022 as it is a central location where parents do not need worry about having their children playing at different fields across the Township at the same time. We feel that this has been one of the contributing factors for the growing interest soccer we had last year.
Frontenac Soccer Association is requesting funding for additional portable nets at the Centennial Soccer Fields. Since the Frontenac Arena and Harrowsmith Schools fields are no longer available for our use, we consolidated all our programing for U5 to U21 players to the Centennial fields in 2021. Last year with only 2 sets of portable nets we had to limit the number of teams that could register to play in our U10 and U12 divisions. Unfortunately, this meant that many of our players were disappointed that they were not able to play soccer with their friends in our community. Having the additional portable nets this year would allow us to increase the number of teams so all children wanting to play soccer will have the opportunity to do so.

Extension of Approval of Draft Plan of Condominium – Township of South Frontenac (Shield Shores) County File #10CD-2016/001
Summary The developer of the Shield Shores Plan of Condominium has applied to the County of Frontenac for an extension to their draft plan approval which is set to lapse on May 15, 2022. The County requests that Township Council provide a recommendation to County Council as part of their decision-making process on the request to extend draft plan approval.
Recommendation THAT South Frontenac Council recommend the County of Frontenac extend draft plan approval for a period of two years for application 10CD-2016/001, subject to the conditions approved by the County of Frontenac on May 15, 2019 and direct the Clerk to forward this resolution to the County Clerk.
Background The Township received notice on March 24, 2022 that the County of Frontenac has received an application to extend draft plan approval for the Shield Shores Plan of Condominium (10CD – 2016/002). The County has the full responsibility/authority to make the decision regarding the extension of draft plan approval, but Township Council has the opportunity to provide a recommendation to County Council regarding the request to extend draft plan approval. Draft plan approval is set to lapse on May 15, 2022. This is the first request for draft plan extension for the Shield Shores Plan of Condominium. The original application for the Shield Shores Condominium was approved by the County of Frontenac on May 19, 2019.

Page 135 of 265 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report – Shield Shores Plan of Condominium Draft Plan Extension
Discussion/Analysis The draft plan is for the creation of eighteen (18) residential units, two private lanes and five (5) blocks. The Condominium is located outside of the settlement area of Battersea and is accessed from Wellington Street. Attachment 1 shows the location of the subject property on which the plan of condominium is proposed. Attachment 2 is the draft plan of condominium that shows the unit layout, the proposed lanes, and blocks. Reason for Draft Plan Extension The County of Frontenac forwarded a copy of the application dated March 22, 2022, from the developer, Barry Campbell requesting an extension of draft approval (Attachment 3). The application to extend draft plan approval for the Shield Shores Condominium lists the reasons why an extension is requested. The application references a number of delays with Hydro One reviewing the subdivision application and preparing a design for the installation of hydro services. The applicant contacted Hydro One in November 2020 and is still waiting for a design for the installation of hydro services to be provided. Mr. Campbell also attached a letter to the application for draft plan approval which identifies that the development and fulfillment of the conditions has been proceeding well. However, he cites the extraordinarily long delay of over 16 months by Hydro One in coming up with the design for the hydro servicing has made the possibility of fulfilling the conditions within the three-year period next to impossible. Mr. Campbell notes that there is no alternative other than Hydro One to provide this design. Mr. Campbell also lists out the status of fulfilling the conditions from his perspective. Review of Request for Draft Plan Extension Township staff are supportive of the County providing a further two-year extension to draft plan approval to allow the developer and the Township the opportunity to fulfill the remaining conditions of draft plan approval. The Provincial Policy Statement 2020, the County Official Plan and the Township Official Plan are all supportive of the creation a range and mix of housing types and permit the creation of rural residential lots that are in-keeping with the character of rural areas. Subject to fulfilling all draft plan conditions, Township staff are of the opinion that extending draft plan approval for the Shield Shores Condominium helps further the Township’s goal to provide a supply of housing to market, while maintaining the integrity of our natural environment.

Page 136 of 265 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report – Shield Shores Plan of Condominium Draft Plan Extension
The developer has been active throughout 2020 and 2021 to fulfill conditions of draft plan approval. The below section outlines work completed by both the developer and the Township to date on a number of key conditions of draft plan approval: Condominium Agreement •
Township staff have has started work on preparing a condominium agreement to be shared with the developer. The majority of the conditions of draft plan approval will be completed through the condominium agreement.
Cash-in-lieu of Parkland •
The Township’s appraiser has undertaken an appraisal of the condominium for the purpose of calculating cash-in-lieu of parkland. Council received a report in this regard in April 2020 and set the cash-in-lieu value for Shield Shores Condominium at $20,000. This money will be collected at the time the condominium agreement is signed and brought to Council for approval.
Road Naming •
•
Council passed By-law 2020-60 to approve the naming of two new private lanes and two existing rights-of-way to Shield Shores Lane, Glacier Lane, Bird Haven Lane and Briscoe Bay Lane in Part of Lots 15, 16 & 17, Concession 9, District of Storrington at the November 3, 2020 Council meeting. These road names have been forwarded to Bell 9-1-1 and Emergency Services Dispatch to update the 9-1-1 system.
Zoning By-law Amendment •
The Zoning By-law amendment for the Shield Shores Plan of Condominium was approved by South Frontenac Council on August 11, 2020. This by-law took full force and effect on September 7, 2020. The residential units were zoned Residential Limited Service and Residential Limited Services Waterfront with a Holding zone. The lifting of the holding zone is conditional on the developer entering into a condominium agreement with the Township.
Road Construction – Private Lanes •
Mr. Campbell has been working towards constructing the private lanes and realigning the entrance of the private lane at the intersection of Wellington Street. These works will need to be reviewed and inspected by Township staff to determine if the private lanes have been constructed to Township standards.

Although not finalized, the two private lanes have been designed and constructed in accordance with Township standards.

To: Council Prepared by: Corporate Services Department Date of Meeting: April 5, 2022 Subject: Frontenac Arch Biosphere Network 2022 Request for Funding
Summary The Frontenac Arch Biosphere Network made a request for $5,000 funding to help grow their capacity and sustainability in 2022. The Lake Ecosystem Advisory Committee has reviewed the request and is providing a recommendation.
Recommendation That Council support the request for funding in the amount of $5,000 from the Frontenac Arch Biosphere Network and that the request be funded from the Council grants operating budget.
Background The Frontenac Arch Biosphere Network submitted a request to the Township for $5,000 funding to help grow their capacity and sustainability in 2022. At its meeting on January 11, 2022, Council referred this funding request to the Lake Ecosystem Advisory Committee for consideration relative to the potential benefit to the Township’s lakes and the natural environment more broadly, as well as relative to the Strategic Plan. Frontenac Arch Biosphere Network The Township of South Frontenac is located within the Frontenac Arch Biosphere, which is an UNESCO World Biosphere Region. The Frontenac Arch Biosphere Network exists to implement the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Programme to improve relationships between people and their environments. The Network’s vision is to contribute to strengthening sustainable community development, celebrating the interconnectedness of nature, livelihood, well-being and culture for all generations. The Network implements the UNESCO program by hosting a variety of programs and events, such as the Youth Climate Change Summit and Summer Nature www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.
Page 156 of 265 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Frontenac Arch Biosphere Network 2022 Request for Funding
Camps, and participation in the Eco-Internship Program. It also strives to communicate and collaborate with local organizations. The Township provided the Frontenac Arch Biosphere Network with $5,200 in funding in 2021. This amount was based on a per-capital contribution of the total funding requirement of the Network. This funding helped support the Network’s core operations, helping to continue community relationship building, program development and new project initiatives. The Network reported that funding brought grants and programs to the region. Strategic Plan 2019 to 2022 The Strategic Plan identifies Councils’ vision and priorities for the Township. One of the ways Council has set out to achieve the vision is through recognizing the Township’s role in the stewardship of our environment, as well as seeking and taking advantage of practical opportunities to improve and sustain it. There are four priorities:
- Position South Frontenac as a Regional Leader.
- Promote and support growth than meets the community’s needs while maintaining the integrity of our natural environment.
- Ensure the organizational capacity to deliver cost-effective services in a changing world.
- Be a catalyst for the creation of vibrant, complete communities.
Discussion/Analysis The Lake Ecosystem Advisory Committee discussed this request at its meeting on February 16, 2022. The Lake Ecosystem Advisory Committee recognized the importance of the Frontenac Arch Biosphere, and the work of the Network to maintain its designation on a limited budget. They were supportive of the funding request given the potential benefit of the Network’s work to the Township’s lakes and the natural environment more broadly. The Lake Ecosystem Grant program may provide funding to non-profit organizations for projects that support and encourage the preservation, restoration, monitoring and analysis of lake ecosystems within the Township of South Frontenac. The Grant is not intended to support operating budgets of non-profit organizations. For this reason, the Committee felt that that the request from the Frontenac Arch Biosphere Network could not be supported through the Lake Ecosystem grant program. However, the committee recommended to Council that the request should be supported for the full amount.

Financial Implications No funds are currently allocated to this request. Should Council decide to support the request, the 2022 operating budget has available funds under Council grants that would be sufficient to fund this request. Alternatively, Council could choose to fund the request from Working Fund reserves.

To: Council Prepared by: Corporate Services Department Date of Meeting: April 5, 2022 Subject: COVID-19 Community Grant Request
Summary This report recommends supporting a request received by the Verona Community Association for support under the COVID-19 Community Grant program.
Recommendation That Council approve a COVID-19 Community Grant to the Verona Community Association in the amount of $5,000; and, That the request be funded from the Township’s Working Funds Reserve being the designated reserve from which the original COVID-19 Community Grant program was allocated.
Background In the 2021 budget, Council allocated funding in the amount of $250,000 to a targeted financial relief and support program for those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. At the March 2nd Council meeting, Council approved the details of that program including the allocation of the $250,000. The first intake of the support for not-for-profits and Community Groups was issued earlier in the year with payments distributed in June. The first intake of these grants had 13 applications that totalled $79,513.65 with an amount of $90,486.35 remaining. A second intake was issued in July and only one (1) application was received and supported in the amount of $5,000.00 providing a remaining available amount of $85,486.35. At the September 21st, 2021, Council supported closing the COVID-19 Community Grant program and returning the balance of funds to the Working Fund Reserve.
www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.
Page 167 of 265 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - COVID-19 Community Grant Request
At its regular meetings on December 7 and 16, 2021, Council approved additional COVID19 Community Grants in the amount of $10,000 and $5,000, respectively, for the Frontenac Minor Hockey Association and the Frontenac Fury Association to help offset anticipated operating shortfalls during their 2021/22 hockey season. These grants were recommended for approval despite the program having been closed because they met the intent and criteria for the program and significant funds went unspent during the previous intakes.
Discussion/Analysis A request has been received from the Verona Community Association (VCA) to provide support under the COVID Community Grant program. Although the Township issued two intakes to this program with the program closing on September 21st, the VCA did not consider submitting through these intakes because at that time they were not in a position to fully assess the impact of COVID measures on their operations. The application from VCA qualifies under the operating/fundraising deficit streams in that VCA is anticipating a significant operating shortfall this season. Despite the COVID Community Grant Program being officially closed, staff considered that it was significantly undersubscribed and that operating support for an important community association is in keeping with Council’s intended recipients of the program. For these reasons, and after a review of VCA’s financials from 2019 to 2021, the application is recommended for approval in the maximum amount of $5,000.
Financial Implications The recommendations of this report will result in funding in the amount of $5,000 provided to the VCA under the COVID-19 relief program from the amount of $70,486.35 which was returned to the Working Fund Reserve net of all grants issued under all intakes/requests.

Background In November 2021, Council passed By-law 2021-64, to authorize alternative voting for the 2022 Municipal elections in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Elections Act, Section 42 (1) and 42(2). Following the success of obtaining joint pricing during the 2014 and 2108 elections, the four Frontenac Municipalities issued a joint RFP for services with prices to be quoted if all four municipalities acted collectively and individually. Pricing is based on estimates on the number of voters and can only be finalized once the final voter’s list is determined. The benefits of acting collectively outweigh individual pricing and include savings from shared candidate and voter education, advertising and collective staff training. The RFP was issued in late January and posted to the township’s website and posted on Biddingo. The deadline for submissions was Monday, February 28, 2022 with three responses received on closing. The Frontenac Elections Group (comprised of Clerk’s Department staff from the four townships) reviewed the submissions and deemed them complete in accordance with the RFP requirements. Demonstrations were conducted by all three service providers in early March. The following is the results of the evaluation of the submissions:

Collective Pricing excluding HST 84.25/100 87,094.80 75/100 88,769.70 69.75/100 86,759.82
Discussion/Analysis Intelivote Systems Inc. has experience with successfully conducting electronic voting. Intelivote was the election provider for all four Frontenac Municipalities in 2014 and 2018 and South Frontenac has used Intelivote Systems Inc for the 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018 Municipal Elections. Given their experience and knowledge, staff from all four municipalities recommend awarding the contract to Intelivote Systems Inc.
Financial Implications Sufficient reserve funds exist to cover the cost of the 2022 contract. It is anticipated that South Frontenac’s share of the contract will have an upset limit of $46,800 plus HST. An election reserve is established to partially cover the cost of the upcoming municipal election. Over the past three years, council has been setting aside funds to cover the full cost in 2022. The reserve has an available balance of $100,000 for use with the 2022 elections.

Report on McMullen Manor
On the evening of January 7, 2021 a devastating fire levelled McMullen Manor but all residents were able to evacuate safely. This was during the peak of Covid with no restaurants able to prepare food. The VCA used the Verona Free Methodist Church kitchen and were able to prepare meals and snacks for the next 5 days. Breakfast, lunch and 2 snacks per day was a welcome relief to the fire department, fire marshal, security and any residents that returned to the site. Cash donations were received and each resident was given gift cards to restart the purchase of lost belongings. Several organizations stepped forward to support the delivery of welcome home packages in February & fruit baskets. At Easter the displaced residents were given quilts, homemade cookies, Easter Basket and gift cards. Respectfully submitted: Linda C. Bates

Motion moved by Ron Bryuns and seconded by Don Coleman to move $10,000.00 from the Trail Head Reserve Fund to the VCA Account. The rest of the fund will remain in the Trail Head account. The Christmas for Kids Committee included a request in their annual report that they would like the VCA to transfer funds to their account in Oct. Due to the restrictions on gatherings and festivals during the past year the VCA isn’t as financially well off as we were in the past and we are hesitant about transferring money over to the Christmas for Kids. The Christmas for Kids Committee hasn’t offered a report of how
Page 182 of 265
their money was spent and if there is money/gift cards left over. We would like to see better transparency on how they disperse the funds while still keeping the names of the recipients confidential. The VCA President can be called upon by the Township of South Frontenac for an exact accounting of how much was spent and right now their figures don’t add up and if there were leftover gift cards. The VCA would like them to work with Don Coleman and present a proper budget.

Ron Snider could do sound…we could do a Christian along with some other music. We are waiting for a reply on food availability. There will be a Show and Shine in Harrowsmith some time this summer.

Response to the Car Show Request Chet Babcock, Linda Bates, Ron Bryuns, Don Coleman, Debbie Lingen (via cell phone), Laurie Meier, Rhonda Storring Township Rep: Ray Leonard The Verona Lions and John Nizman want to have a car show this year. The Lions are an older group as we are and they would like us to come on board and share the profits from the show Linda Bates has talked with Ray Leonard and Neil Carbonne over her concern about staying within the limits for Covid at that time. KFL&A Public Health will have to review the rules and make their recommendations at that time as there are too many variables this far ahead. . Linda Bates measured the spaces they could get in the 110 cars if proper distancing rules are applied. Sponsors from our previous shows have been contacted and they will not give money this year. The show will not be covered under the township insurance unless the VCA is running it. Linda Bates asked the VCA directors for their opinion on whether or not we should participate and then took a vote. All the directors agreed that we would not support the car show this year but we will consider it next year for 2022.

VCA Emergency Zoom Meeting 11 Aug 2021
Directors Present: Linda Bates, Don Coleman , Chet Babcock, Deb Lingen, Laurie Meier, Rhonda Storring South Frontenac Township Rep: Reg Leonard New Business: Linda Bates was asked if we were a part of the Verona Car Show as John Nizman is proceeding with his plans to continue with the show this year. We are still trying to confirm if it is a Verona Lions event or if it’s the John Nizman show. We do know that we aren’t a sponsor for the show this year and will ask that all references to the Verona Community Association be removed from the Car Show website. In the past our participation brought certain bonuses from the Township such as garbage pickup, insurance and tax receipts but if we aren’t involved those privileges will not carry over to this car show. Each committee member stated their position and Debbie Lingen elaborated that it is time to get the Township involved and seek their advice as to what they can do legally. We haven’t had any acknowledgement from John Nizman or the Lions in response to our emails. They intend to use the Verona Express, the Mini-putt, the tents and other shared equipment. We pay $100.00 to rent a small shed but the Lion’s have access to it and are storing some of their equipment there as well as using our signs and other stored material. Linda Bates would like to move our signs and equipment to the Township barn location where we should have more control over who uses it. Motion made by Don Coleman to remove all VCA equipment/material from the shed on the Lion’s property and store it at the Township barns. Permission must be granted by the VCA. Vote taken and 5 directors voted to support this decision. Seconded by: Laurie Meier. Passed: Unanimously Electronic sign: The Verona Lions can advertise the car show on the sign since they are from our community and sponsoring an non-profit event as long as all references to the VCA are removed from the website. Meeting adjourned.

Detachment Commanders Report
a)
Police Services Board Quarterly Reports - July - September 2021. Staff Sgt. McConnell addressed the Committee for the first time as the new Detachment Commander for the Frontenac Detachment catchment. He explained that his typical process for meetings of this nature include reviewing the quarterly statistics in advance and then addressing trends, decreasing statistics, and any questions with the Board. Records Management System Report Staff Sgt. McConnell noted a reduction under both sexual assaults and victim crimes compared to 2020 data. He explained that his previous community had a lot of break and enters so he likes to review Break and Enter statistics, especially in rural communities and areas with a lot of seasonal properties, so that any issues or increased frequency can be addressed promptly Calls for Service - Billing Summary Upon reviewing this section, Stag Sgt. McConnell reviewed the four (4) Sexual assaults that were recorded in this quarter. Of those four, two were historic in nature and very dated. The other two were known in the sense that the accused was a known person to the victim, so there was minimal concern to public safety. In situations where the offender is categorized as ‘unknown’ to the victim, then there may be a greater concern for public safety. Staff Sgt. McConnell also spoke in regards to fraud. He noted that when fraud is occurring locally, it is his practice to issue a media release and coordinate with other media outlets to provide residents with educational information about the fraud scheme and how to protect yourself. For the most part, frauds overall are trending down. Property crime violations have also reduced from 2020 to 2021 in this quarter. Staff Sgt. McConnell explained that he has started to meet with the Frontenac News on a biweekly basis in an attempt to strengthen communications and keep the public informed on issues happening in the area, whether that be fraud or break and enters. Additionally, Staff Sgt. McConnell note that he likes to review mental health calls. Since the start of the pandemic, the local detachment has seen an increase in calls for service.

Page 198 of 265 Minutes of Police Services Board November, 25, 2021 Ken Gilpin inquired about the “Animal Cruelty” section of the billing summary and asked if there is still a provincial employee from the Ontario SPCA (Society of Prevention for Cruelty to Animals). Staff Sgt. McConnell explained that they removed the enforcement piece and focus more on educational elements. Now the investigative piece would fall to the OPP or in some cases, bylaw enforcement. We do still work in partnership with them, to gain their expertise. The Committee inquired about the low drug related statistics, including possession. Staff Sgt. McConnell explained that since the change in legislation in 2018, limits were changed when it comes to criminal charges. Overdoses are still something we hear about as well as drug issues in our community - It is something we need to continue to educate the public about. All front line officers are equipped with naloxone when they go out. He also explained that he can reach out to the detachment’s local community street enforcement officer. He noted that she recently put out some messaging about concerns in the Sydenham community. Staff Sgt. McConnell is looking into those concerns and will then try to put some targeted enforcement to address the issue, as well as track any ongoing activity. Mike Nolan inquired about who the responding party is when an overdose occurs. Staff Sgt. McConnell explained that it is typically a tiered response where the ambulance would be dispatched and then the OPP would also be dispatched. In some cases, Fire Services could also be dispatched at the same time as paramedics. When paramedics are dispatched first, there is sometimes an opportunity to collect information about the occurrence, allowing for a more strategic response. Paramedics or Fire will take the medical lead. In regards to the low drug possession rates, Staff Sgt. McConnell explained that he hasn’t had a chance to sit down with the Community Street Crime officer yet. He noted that based on the numbers, the issue is very low statistically, but it would be naive to think there is no other drug trafficking going on. After an issue has been identified OPP will take a combined approach, using enforcement and education. The CAO explained that the Township will be looking into Short Term Rental bylaws (STR) in the new year and noted that in previous municipalities he consulted with law enforcement on any trends or issues they have experience with STRs to get a better understanding of issues the municipality may be able to address. While this isn’t an immediate requirement, it will be something that the Township will look to coordinate with the OPP on in the next few years. Mayor Ron Vandewal inquired if the OPP has seen an increase in speeding complaints or charges, as he has noted a lull in speeding complaints over the last 6-8 months. The Committee as a whole noted that they have seen more OPP speeding presence, and that is appreciated by the residents of South Frontenac. Mike Nolan inquired about the increase in noise complaints and how they are addressed. Staff Sgt. McConnell explained it could be loud vehicles, a house party, hearing gun shots or fire works. More often then not, people are compliant when the OPP arrive- at this point, officers will patrol the area and then monitor the situation. The Chair noted that for the first time in his career as a Councillor, he has received a lot of complaints about fire works going off in the middle of the night not near a holiday - seemed to be an influx in this type of call this year. The CAO noted that a lot of the vacationers and new owners are coming to South Frontenac from urban areas where they are not used the gun shots. And during the pandemic we are seeing a lot more tourism, which has accelerated our interest into an STR. Increased activity is causing a lot of these noise complaints and aggravations with Staffing Updates
Page 3 of 4
Page 199 of 265 Minutes of Police Services Board November, 25, 2021 Staff Sgt. McConnell noted that the detachment has two recruits at the Provincial Police College right now, with their graduation scheduled for February 2022. One will join the Hartington detachment and one will join the Sharbot Lake detachment. He noted that he hopes to bring them to a meeting and introduce them to the board. Staff Sgt. McConnell explained that he plans to put out a media release as well. Their diverse backgrounds and experience will be an asset to this detachment. Staff Sgt. McConnell announced that the OPP Festive Ride season started on November 18, 2021, and will continue until January. He explained that the detachment puts a lot of emphasis on this program. He also noted that South Frontenac receives some provincial funding for ride programs. Staff Sgt. McConnell also noted that November 7-13 was Crime Prevention week. The Frontenac detachment did get out and do some “Lock it or Lose It” campaigning and will continue to do some educational programming. 10.

Public Comments and/or Discussion
a)
Ken Gilpin inquired about the external resources that were called in to assist Kingston Police with Queen’s homecoming and the public crowds, and asked if Frontenac detachment officers were there, and if so, where do those wages come from. Staff Sgt. McConnell explained that no resources were pulled from the Frontenac compliment. He noted that if any officers attended it would have been individuals that were not scheduled to work in South Frontenac. He noted that officers in attendance would have been paid by the Ministry, with those funds being received directly from the organization requesting the ‘paid duty services.’

Lake Ecosystem Grant Subcommittee Report - Lake Ecosystem Grant Second Intake (15 mins) The Chair explained that it had recently come to the Committee’s attention that a submission from the second intake of the Lake Ecosystem Grant Program was missed during the review stage. She noted that since that discovery, the grant review subcommittee has reviewed the application and brought forward a summary and recommendation for the Committee to review and determine if it should be passed onto Council for approval. Janet Brown provided a summary of the project proposal from Queen’s University Biological Station regarding a method called environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding. This project focuses on taking water samples and then analyzing it for DNA from a whole suite of species that live in the water (bacteria, algae, aquatic plants, invertebrates and vertebrates). The objective of their project is to test water samples from 20 lakes in South Frontenac and analyze them for all aquatic species present (including species at risk, invasive species and species of commercial interest). This will create a baseline inventory for future testing.
Page 203 of 265 Minutes of Lake Ecosystem Advisory Committee January, 28, 2022 While the requested amount of $10,473 is slightly over the $10,000 cap that the committee had put in place, the scope of the project is quite large and warrants the small overage.

To: Council Prepared by: Development Services Department Date of Meeting: April 5, 2022 Subject:
Site Plan Control Application SP-09-21-B, Kathleen Thomas, West Devil Lake Lane
Summary This report recommends that Council pass a by-law to approve a Site Plan Control agreement for a residential property on West Devil Lake Lane and with frontage on Devil Lake. By-law 2003-25 requires site plan control to ensure that the Township’s development and environmental standards will be met on properties with frontage on at-capacity lake trout lakes.
Recommendation THAT By-law 2022-26 to authorize the Mayor and Clerk to enter into a Site Plan Agreement with the Owner, Kathleen Thomas, for Part of Lot 9, Concession 10, District of Bedford, Township of South Frontenac (PIN 362490050) be passed.
Background The Committee of Adjustment approved minor variance application MV-42-21-B on October 8, 2021, to permit a reduced setback from the top of bank for a dwelling, a sewage system and a detached deck. A site plan agreement is now required for the subject property under Site Plan Control Bylaw 2003-25, and per a condition of minor variance approval.
Discussion/Analysis The 5,723 square metre (1.4 acres) property on Devil Lake is accessed by an existing driveway over a separately owned private property. The subject lands consist of an approximately 20 metre high, steep slope within 30 metres of the lake, then a more gentle slope inland to the eastern property line. From the eastern property line, the lands slope down toward the lane.

Page 206 of 265 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Site Plan Control Application SP-09-21-B, Kathleen Thomas, West Devil Lake Lane
The Director of Development Services granted provisional approval of consent application S-91-21-B for a right-of-way over the existing driveway subject to conditions on February 18, 2022. This right-of-way will ensure legal deeded access to the subject property. The proposed 286.5 square metre dwelling consists of multiple buildings connected by a series of decks and stairways. The dwelling would be setback a minimum of 34 metres from the highwater mark of Devil Lake, and a minimum of 6 metres from the top of bank. The sewage system would also be setback approximately 39 metres from the highwater mark, and a minimum of 6 metres from the top of bank. Four accessory structures are proposed: a shower, a 27.3 square metre sleeping cabin, a 5.8 square metre detached deck near the sleeping cabin and a 27.6 square metre detached deck near the dwelling. These accessory structures would meet all applicable zone provisions (e.g. setbacks, lot coverage), except the 27.6 square metre detached deck near the dwelling would be setback a minimum of 6 metres from the top of bank. This deck would be more than 30 metres from the highwater mark. The concept was reviewed and supported by Cataraqui Conservation and Building Services through the minor variance application process. Site plan control was a condition of the approval of minor variance application MV-42-21-B to ensure that the environmental policies of the Township are addressed. Site plan control is also applied to this property as Devil Lake is an at-capacity lake trout lake. The site plan drawing has been prepared consistent with the variances granted by the Committee of Adjustment on MV-42-21-B. The site plan agreements bind current and future owners of the subject property and will be registered on the title of the lands by the Owner’s solicitor. The Owner has reviewed the site plan agreement and indicated their concurrence by signing it. Original signed copies of the agreement will be provided to the Township prior to Council passing a by-law.

To: Council Prepared by: Development Services Department Date of Meeting: April 5, 2022 Site Plan Control Application PL-2022-0001 Subject: Sean Allair and Lisa Taylor (applicant); ZanderPlan Inc. (agent) Unit 11, Johnston Point Plan of Condominium
Summary This report recommends that Council approve the individual site plan control application for Unit 11 in Johnston Point. This Unit is the first unit located on the east side of Hinterland Lane and is proposed to be developed with a single detached dwelling. The Johnston Point Condominium and Master Site Plan Agreements require individual Units within the condominium to obtain site plan control approval prior to the issuance of a building permit.
Recommendation THAT By-law 2022-27 to authorize the Mayor and Clerk to enter into a Site Plan Agreement with the Owner, Sean Allair and Lisa Taylor, for Unit 11, Vacant Land Condominium Plan No. 85, Johnston Point, District of Loughborough, Township of South Frontenac be passed.
Background South Frontenac Council entered into the Master Site Plan Control Agreement with Magenta Waterfront Development Corporation and the owners of Units within the Johnston Point Plan of Condominium on December 21, 2021. The Master Site Plan Agreement has been registered on the title of all the lands within the Johnston Point Plan of Condominium. The Master Site Plan establishes the requirements for individual site plan applications in Johnston Point. Individual unit site plans must be prepared by an Ontario Land Surveyor or be prepared by a professional consultant based on a plan prepared by an Ontario Land Surveyor and conform to the following:
Page 217 of 265 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Unit 11, Johnston Point Plan of Condominium Plan of Condominium
• • • • • • • • •
Environmental Benefit Permit (PT-C-001-16) issued October 28, 2018. All municipal conditions of the condominium agreement. Exterior lighting. Identified locations, dimensions and materials for driveway. The driveway shall be designed by a professional engineer to direct stormwater runoff and minimize erosion. Identification and maintenance of all vegetation in its natural state within 30m of the shoreline, save only for invasive species and the 1.5m pathway to the shoreline. Identified location, materials and width of the 1.5m pathway to the shoreline. Identification of the 40m tree protection setback from the shoreline where vegetation removal is limited to only those trees that require removal. Confirmation all structures meet zoning and setbacks from wetlands. Confirmation that the total area of disturbance for all structures, driveways and pathways conforms to the Environmental Benefit Permit & Master Site Plan.
Council will issue approval on each individual site plan agreement and enter into a further, more detailed, agreement with each Unit owner prior to the issuance of a building permit for construction on their Unit.
Discussion/Analysis The individual site plan was prepared by ZanderPlan Inc. and was based on a survey prepared by IBW Surveyors who are a formal member of the Association of Ontario Land Surveyors. •
The site plan shows the location of the dwelling, deck, driveway, well, primary and alternate sewage system. The property is proposed to be serviced with a Class IV – tertiary treatment sewage system. The agreement speaks to the requirements for maintenance and reporting requirements for the sewage system.
•
Exterior lighting is referenced through the agreement. Exterior lighting is required to follow best practices for Dark Sky compliance lighting. Based on language in the agreement - a review of exterior lighting will be done within 4 months of occupancy and prior to the issuance of a final inspection for the building permit.
•
The driveway location and design is shown on both the site plan and the lot grading and drainage plan. The driveway was designed by a professional engineer to direct stormwater runoff and has satisfied the requirements of the Township’s Manager of Technical Services and Infrastructure. The driveway is gravel and will be maintained in that condition. The driveway utilizes an existing www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader
Page 218 of 265 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Unit 11, Johnston Point Plan of Condominium Plan of Condominium
driveway that was placed on Unit 11 to access a test well that was established prior to the registration of the plan of condominium. Utilizing this driveway minimizes the area of disturbance required on Unit 11. •
The site plan identifies the 30m buffer of the shoreline and notes that all vegetation must remain in its natural state within 30m of the shoreline, save only for invasive species and the 1.5m pathway to the shoreline. The agreement includes clauses that state the same.
•
The site plan identifies the location of the 1.5m pathway to the shoreline in a location consistent with what was shown on the conceptual plan in the Master Site Plan. This pathway follows a natural route to the waters edge that minimizes the removal of trees in this area.
•
The site plan shows the 40m tree protection setback from the shoreline. This setback is also staked on the property. There is no vegetation proposed to be removed within the 40m setback other than the 1.5m wide pathway that leads to the water’s edge.
•
Trees have been removed from the building envelope, outside the 40m setback. A Species at Risk assessment was completed by a qualified professional in accordance with the Environmental Benefit Permit prior to vegetation clearing on the Unit.
•
The dock shown on the site plan for Unit 11 complies with the size restrictions (maximum size of 20m2) and placement required in the condominium agreement.
•
The Unit 11 site plan complies with the RLSW-108 zone provisions that apply to this property. The site plan includes a table that shows the requirements of the RLSW-108 zone versus the actual setbacks/lot coverage proposed for the development of Unit 11.
•
The site plan has been based off information prepared by an OLS that has confirmed that all structures and the driveway are outside of the 40m setback from the highwater mark.
•
The Master Site Plan allocated a maximum area of disturbance of 1,741 m2 for Unit 11. The maximum area of disturbance as shown on the site plan for Unit 11 is 1726.2 m2, which is less that what is permitted by the Master Site Plan for Johnston Point.

Page 219 of 265 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Unit 11, Johnston Point Plan of Condominium Plan of Condominium
Township staff are satisfied that the individual site plan for Unit 11 meets the relevant conditions of the Johnston Point Plan of Condominium and Master Site Plan Agreement. Staff are also satisfied that the site plan for Unit 11 meets the relevant conditions of the Environmental Benefit Permit (PT-C-001-16) issued October 28, 2018 for Johnston Point. Species at Risk Pre-Clearing Report The Individual Site Plan, Master Site Plan and the condominium agreement require the owners within Johnston Point to comply with the terms and conditions of the Environmental Benefit Permit with regards to Species at Risk. Township staff request Unit owners within the Johnston Point Condominium to provide a copy of the Species at Risk Pre-Clearing Report with the Individual Site Plan Control application for the purpose of demonstrating compliance with the Environmental Benefit Permit for any clearing of vegetation that has occurred on the Unit. The Species at Risk Pre-Clearing Report is not included as an attachment to this report because this report contains species specific information about Species at Risk within an identifiable location. Sharing this information has the potential to put threatened and endangers species at greater risk if this information is shared publicly. The owners of Unit 11 provided staff with a copy of the Species at Risk Pre-Clearing Report that was prepared by a qualified professional prior to the removal of vegetation within the building envelope identified on the site plan, thereby demonstrating they are in compliance with the vegetation removal condition of the Environmental Benefit Permit. While Planning Services staff request this information as a check on the owners’ compliance with the Environmental Benefit Permit at the Individual Site Plan application stage, the legal authority for enforcement of the Environmental Benefit Permit is through the Species at Risk branch of the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP). Site Plan Agreement The individual site plan agreement (attached) carries forward several key requirements from the Condominium Agreement and Master Site Plan. The site plan also establishes conditions that address the enforcement of the agreement. The site plan agreement binds current and future owners of the subject property and will be registered on the title of the lands by the Township’s solicitor. The Owner has reviewed the site plan agreement and indicated their concurrence by signing it (attached). Original signed copies of the agreement have been provided to the Township. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader

Notice/Consultation The site plan drawing was reviewed by Planning Services staff for conformity with the condominium agreement, Master Site Plan agreement and the Environmental Benefit Permit for Johnston Point. Building Services staff reviewed the application from a Part 8 – Sewage Review perspective and are satisfied that the location and area shown on the site plan application is sufficient for the sewage system. Further detailed review will occur through the issuance of the building permit for the sewage system and the dwelling. Public Services staff reviewed the lot grading and drainage plan and the design of the driveway. Public Services staff are satisfied with the site plan, the design of the driveway and lot grading and drainage plan for Unit 11. The site plan was circulated to Cataraqui Conservation for review. Cataraqui Conservation staff have no objection to the approval of application PL-2022-0001 based upon our consideration for natural hazards, natural heritage, and water quality protection policies. The applicants provided an e-mail confirmation from Cataraqui Conservation dated March 22, 2022 that the proposed location for the development is not within an area that is subject to their regulation and therefore a permit is not required.

Unit specific plans included with the Master Site Plan are for conceptual purposes only and have not been tested or verified by consultants as will be required in the case of individual site plan applications. ZanderPlan assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or viability of the conceptual unit site plans that are subject to all municipal requirements, engineering studies, the requirements of the benefit permit, the requirements of the condominium agreement, and requirements of the declaration. The co-ordinates used for the preparation of the Master Plan are reproduced from the draft plan of condominium and accuracy of that plan is verified by an Ontario Land Surveyor.

- Final dwelling size & location, septic size & location, dock location, and the pathway to the water will be determined through a future site plan control application for the unit. All site improvements shown in the conceptual master plans, including but not limited to driveway locations, have been placed without regard to topography or feasibility of design or construction of such features in locations shown and may change or be relocated subject to all restrictions in the zoning, condominium agreement, declaration and master site plan agreement.
- Per the Overall Benefit Permit warning signage and speed signage have been shown within the travelled road to maintain 30km/h speeds and warn drivers of potential species within the roadway. The signs have been installed in the locations shown on this plan and on the Master Site Plan.
- Lands within the 30 metre setback from the High Water Mark / Flood Line for the lot will comprise a shoreline protection area / no cut zone. All vegetation with the exception of invasive species shall be retained and maintained in a natural state.
- Lands within the 40 metre setback from the High Water Mark / Flood Line of the lot will comprise a Tree Protection Area to ensure all living trees greater than four inches in diameter at breast height shall be maintained unless approved for removal. Vegetation clearing for development including driveways, building and septic fields shall not occur between April 1st and October 30th. Clearing may only occur during this period if a qualified professional is present on-site.

Sent by E-mail Claire Dodds, Director of Development Services Township of South Frontenac P.O. Box 100 Sydenham, ON K0H 2T0 Dear Ms. Dodds: Re:
Application for Site Plan Control PL-2022-0001 (Allair / Taylor) Part Lot 24, Concession 6; Unit 11 Johnston Point Condominium Township of South Frontenac (Loughborough District) Waterbody: Loughborough Lake / Provincially Significant Wetland
Cataraqui Conservation staff have reviewed the technical circulation for the abovenoted application, including the following: • • • • • •
Application for Site Plan Approval (Sean Allair & Lisa Taylor, Dec. 14, 2021) Site Plan Sketch for Unit 11 – (Zanderplan, Dec. 17, 2021) Unit 11 Lot Grading & Drainage Plan (Ainley, Dec. 17, 2021) Elevation Plans (unnamed & undated) House Plans (unnamed and undated) Letter from IBW Surveyors (Dec. 7, 2021)
Summary of Proposal / Site Description The proposal involves construction, filling and site alteration / lot grading for a 2.3 hectare parcel of land described as Unit 11, Johnston Point Condominium. The subject property is located along the north shore of the east basin of Loughborough Lake, east of Perth Road and south of North Shore Road in South Frontenac Township. The property is currently vacant. The property is located at the eastern end of the Johnston Point plan of condominium development. A portion of the Loughborough Lake provincially significant wetland (PSW) is located to the west of the subject property. The topography of the property can be characterized as rising steadily from the shoreline toward the interior of the lot where development is proposed.

Page 239 of 265 Page 2 of 3
Discussion The main interests of Cataraqui Conservation in this proposal are the avoidance of natural hazards (e.g. flooding and erosion) associated with the shoreline of Loughborough Lake, the protection of natural heritage features (e.g. woodlands and wetlands) and water quality. Staff provide the following comments for the Township’s consideration and action/response by the applicant. Natural Hazards
- The setbacks for development proposed in the original Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) (Ecological Services, June 12, 2014) and the addendums to the EIA (Ecological Services, March 30, 2016 and November 2, 2020) place all development outside of any area that may be subject to risk due to flooding and erosion associated with the shoreline of Loughborough Lake. Staff have no concerns from a natural hazard perspective. Natural Heritage / Water Quality
- The EIA recommended a 30 metre “no cut” zone so that a proper buffer is maintained along the shoreline. This area has been appropriately identified in a note (#3) on the site plan drawing as a “no cut zone.”
- The EIA recommended a 40 metre “Tree Protection Area” setback to protect trees greater than four inches in diameter. This is noted in a note (#4) on the site plan drawing.

Again, our sincere thanks for all that you have done for us. Hoping to see you on April 23"".
Our future ideas are to put in new LED lighting for the baseball diamonds, a walking pathway around the perimeter and throughout our park and hopefully some more park benches as well. Once a plan for development is in place, we also hope to benefit from a government program to plant trees throughout our 32 acres. At present we have anew steel roof waiting to be installed on the canteen and we are anxious to try out our “new” fryer which was donated just as the pandemic shut us down.
We have a beautiful building ready for this season! We are very optimistic that 2022 will be a year for a full season of baseball! Events in the park begin on April 30"‘with a huge Vendors Market taking place from 9 to 4. The next two weekends we are booked with tournaments. Teams are presently forming and signing up for the regular weekly games. We expect to have regular ball games four nights a week.

March 10, 2022 Municipalities of Ontario Re: Setbacks for industrial-scale wind turbines Wind Concerns Ontario has released its recommendations for setbacks between industrial-scale or gridscale wind turbines and homes, and other buildings such as schools, long-term-care facilities, worker housing, etc. The recommendations were developed after a review of current municipal bylaws and Official Plans, a review of setbacks employed in other countries around the world, and information on complaints of noise and adverse health effects collected in Ontario. The setback recommended is 2 km between turbines and property lines. We believe this is a “reasonable compromise” and is more likely to be protective of health and safety than the current Ontario government setback of 550 metres, which is unchanged from 2009. Please see the accompanying recommendation document. Wind Concerns Ontario is a coalition of community groups, families and individuals concerned about the negative impacts of industrial-scale wind turbines on the economy, the environment, and people’s health.

Community group coalition recommends 2-kilometer setback for Ontario wind turbines to protect health, safety March 8, 2022 OTTAWA— Wind turbines built in Ontario to generate electricity from wind energy should have a setback of a minimum of two kilometers says Wind Concerns Ontario. Ontario’s present regulations for siting of wind turbines cite a minimum of 550 metres; that is not adequate to protect health or safety, Wind Concerns Ontario says. The Ontario government currently has almost 7,000 formal Incident Reports documenting environmental noise pollution, dating from 2006 to the end of 2018, many of which also contain citizen complaints of adverse health effects.1 “Since wind turbines first started operating in Ontario, people have been complaining about the noise,” says Jane Wilson, RN, Wind Concerns Ontario president. “The comments made to Provincial Environmental Officers are just heartbreaking—people cannot sleep for days on end. They often leave their homes to get rest. Some of them leave, and never go back.” Environmental noise pollution is a known factor in adverse health effects including sleep disturbance, which over the long term, can lead to other health effects such as high blood pressure and other cardiac problems. The Ontario government pledged to monitor research around the world and revise regulations as required, but this has not occurred, Wind Concerns Ontario says. The Ontario government returned siting powers to municipalities when it amended the Planning Act in 2019, but it did not provide any guidance as to what new zoning by-laws could be. At present, many jurisdictions—particularly those with a long history of using wind turbines—are adopting greater setbacks for health and safety. In Bavaria, Germany, for example, setbacks from residences are 10 times the height of the turbine which is equivalent to more than 2,000 metres or 2 kilometres. In Spain, Sweden, Scotland and Poland, setbacks are between 1 and 2 kilometres. In its new zoning bylaw, the Ontario municipality of Dutton-Dunwich implemented a setback of 2,000 metres.

Wind turbine noise is uniquely intrusive on the environment. U.S. acoustics professional Robert Rand says, “Unlike other power plant technologies which have numerous noise control options, the only reliable noise control for wind turbines is distance.”2 Other jurisdictions may have greater setbacks, and some have shorter, says Wilson. “We believe 2 kilometres is a reasonable compromise to protect health. Given the evidence, wind power operators should be supportive of every effort to be good acoustic neighbours.” Wind turbine setbacks need to apply to all types of receptors including residential locations, both participant and non-participant, work locations, including farm locations, other employment locations, care facilities and schools. A recent review of turbine equipment failures conducted by a group of Ontario municipalities also highlighted the inadequacy of the current setback of blade length plus 50 metres from property lines. The failure incidents profiled show that a minimum setback from the property line of tower height plus blade length (at least 200 metres for equipment used currently) is needed to protect against complete tower collapse. Additional distances are needed to protect against ice throw and the scattering of debris that can extend as far as twice the height of a wind turbine tower. New setbacks also need to be applied to any repowering of existing turbines. The current practice of “grandfathering” existing wind turbines is not appropriate in light of evidence. Wind Concerns Ontario is a coalition of community groups and individuals concerned about the negative impacts of industrial-scale or grid scale wind turbines (IWTs) on the environment, human health and the economy. contact@windconcernsontario.ca Jane Wilson www.windconcernsontario.ca
