REPORT TO COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT REPORT DATE:
July 31, 2019
AGENDA DATE:
August 6, 2019
SUBJECT:
Section 26 Special Meeting under the Planning Act to consider revisions that may be required to the South Frontenac Official Plan
RECOMMENDATION:
- THAT Council support the preparation of a new Official Plan for South Frontenac;
- THAT Council endorse the recommended next steps and proposed timeline for undertaking the preparation of a new Official Plan;
- THAT Council direct the Director of Development Services to prepare and release a Request for Proposals to engage a Planning Consultant to prepare a new Official Plan for South Frontenac; and
- THAT Council pass By-law 2019-51 to repeal By-law 2015-48, Adoption of the Official Plan Amendment 23. PURPOSE: Section 26 of the Planning Act directs Municipalities to review their Official Plan on a 5 year cycle. Prior to revising the Official Plan, Section 26(3b) of the Planning Act requires the Council of a Municipality to hold a Special Meeting, open to the public, to discuss the revisions that may be required to the South Frontenac Official Plan. The Planning Act requires Council to have regard to any written submissions about what revisions may be required and shall give any person who attends the Special Meeting an opportunity to be heard. Written comments submitted prior to the August 6, 2019 Special Section 26 Meeting shall be provided to Council under separate cover. BACKGROUND: Major Influences on Revisions that May be Required to the South Frontenac Official Plan:
- Public Input – Community Vision Public input is critical to the development of an Official Plan for South Frontenac. Public input is important at key stages of an Official Plan update including:
Development a vision for how South Frontenac should grow and develop over the next 20 years; Confirmation of the vision prior to the development of detailed policies; Review of draft Official Plan policy and mapping.
Throughout the Official Plan review process, there will be key times when it will be recommended by staff to consult the public. It is recommended public input be obtained through a variety of methods including open houses, workshops, facilitated discussions, on-line surveys and focused group Our strength is our community.

REPORT TO COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT discussions (e.g. agricultural producers, lake associations, business community, students & youth, seniors). 2. Frontenac County Official Plan The County of Frontenac’s first Official Plan was approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in 2016. Section 27 of the Planning Act requires that a council of a lower-tier municipality shall amend their Official Plan to conform with the Official Plan of the Upper-tier Official Plan. The policies of the County are high level and provide the opportunity for public and Council input to develop detailed local policies to meet the needs of the current and future residents of South Frontenac. The current 2003 Official Plan requires updates to be consistent with the County Official Plan. The County has undertaken several policy papers and planning studies since the approval of the Official Plan in 2016 that can assist with the development of local policy and mapping (e.g. Natural Heritage Study, Communal Servicing, Private Lanes Study). 3. Provincial Policy Statement The Province issued the current Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) in 2014. The Provincial Policy Statement sets out minimum policy directions on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development in Ontario, and applies province-wide. Local decisions on planning matters, including the development of Local Official Plans, shall be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement. A full review of the Official Plan is required in order to ensure conformity with the 2014 PPS. On July 22, 2019, the Province issued a proposed update to the PPS for comment. The Province is requesting comments on the updated policies by October 2019. A future report will be provided to Council about the proposed changes in the updated PPS. 4. Planning Act Section 26 of the Planning Act requires that when an Official Plan is updated it shall be revised to ensure that it:
- conforms with provincial plans
- has regard to matters of provincial interest
- is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement
- is consistent with the County of Frontenac Official Plan
- meets South Frontenac’s land use requirements for a 20 year time horizon There have been a number of major amendments to the Planning Act over the past several years (Bill 73, Bill 139, Bill 108) that have implications for the creation of new policies in the South Frontenac Official Plan. These amendments generate the requirement to establish policies in the South Frontenac Official Plan for items such as: Our strength is our community.

REPORT TO COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT
- the removal of employment lands
- criteria for completeness of applications
- requiring formal pre-consultation
- creation of second residential units
- site plan control design guidelines Previous Update to the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan (OPA 23) Former Township staff undertook a significant Official Plan Amendment, OPA 23, in order to bring the Township’s Official Plan into alignment with numerous updates to provincial land use policy which had occurred between 2003 and 2015. On September 15, 2015 South Frontenac Council approved by-law 2015-48 (OPA
- to update the South Frontenac Official Plan and forwarded it to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for approval. At about the same time the Ministry delegated the OPA approval authority function to the County of Frontenac. Frontenac County then undertook a new County Official Plan. OPA 23 is now nearly 5 years old and no decision has been made on the amendment. There has been several major changes to the Planning Act (Bill 73, Bill 139 & Bill
- and significant guidance material developed that assists municipalities in the implementation of the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement since the adoption of OPA
- There is also a significant emphasis in the Planning Act on Official Plan updates including provincial plan conformity exercises and consultation with the upper tier approval authority. Furthermore, with the release of another update to the Provincial Policy Statement in July 2019, it is anticipated that the County would be required to make significant modifications to OPA 23 prior to approval. The modifications that would be required to make OPA 23 conform to the current policy framework would occur in the absence of public consultation and potentially without Township involvement. It is on this basis that staff recommended and Council endorsed repealing OPA 23 and move to consult and engage on developing a new Official Plan for South Frontenac with an emphasis on community engagement. The substance of OPA 23 will be used by current staff to inform the development of a new Official Plan for the Township. Consistent with previous Council direction, OPA 23 is being recommended to be repealed at this time to assist in providing clarity for the Township to move forward with developing a new Official Plan for South Frontenac. Attachment 2 is a by-law to repeal By-law 2015-48, Adoption of Official Plan Amendment 23.
Our strength is our community.

REPORT TO COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT Proposed Next Steps in South Frontenac Official Plan Review The below table outlines the anticipated next steps and proposed timeline for the preparation of a new Official Plan for South Frontenac:
Note: Yellow highlighting indicates the current Phase of the project.
Summary Based on the above outlined influences, it is anticipated that there will be extensive updates required to the existing 2003 Official Plan in order to ensure policies meet the public and Council vision for the future growth and development of South Frontenac. As such, staff provide Council with the following recommendations:
- Based on the extent and nature of the revisions required to the Official Plan to meet the legislative and public engagement requirements, it is recommended that a new Official Plan be prepared for South Frontenac.
- It is recommended that Council endorse the proposed next steps and proposed timeline outlined in the table above to undertake the development of a new Official Plan.
- It is recommended that Township Planning staff prepare and issue an RFP to engage a planning consultant to develop a new Official Plan for South Frontenac. GIS mapping services will be provided through the contracted County GIS Department.
- It is recommended that Council pass By-law 2019-51 to repeal By-law 201548, Adoption of the Official Plan Amendment 23.
Our strength is our community.

REPORT TO COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT FINANCIAL/STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: $50,000 for the required Growth Management study and $6,000 for initial work on the Official Plan has already been approved in the 2019 capital budget. The original estimated cost for the balance of the Official Plan in 2020 is $75,000 which has been included in the Township’s capital plan but remains subject to 2020 Budget approval. Staff anticipates the cost for the development of a new Official Plan will exceed the estimate of $75,000 in 2020, and that the cost for the associated growth management study will come in under budget in 2019; however, a significant percentage of both studies are eligible to be funded through development charges. Staff will update these estimates and identified funding sources for consideration by Council during 2020 budget discussions.

Box # 2007, 1117 Neva Lane, R.R. #1, Perth Road, ON K0H 2LO 19 July, 2019 Dear Mayor and Council: A seasonal resident since 1967 (then of Bedford Township) and a permanent one of South Frontenac for nearly 20 years, I live on the North Branch of Buck Lake and am a member of the Buck Lake Association. I am responding to the invitation to submit views to Council as it initiates public consultation and other steps preparatory to ‘rolling forward’ the Township’s Official and Strategic Plans. At root, a sensible plan for the future of South Frontenac Township would rest on the reconciliation of two somewhat conflicting objectives, a) preservation of its unspoiled rural character versus b) growth in its population. A principal asset of the Township is its attractiveness to retirees, vacationers, tourists, and others seeking the recreational and relaxing benefits of its many lakes, forests, and other aspects of the environment, including its rural, underpopulated nature, here on the Laurentian Shield as respite from the ‘hustle and bustle’ of the developed world’s increasing urbanization; it would seem to me folly were the plan not to focus on preservation of that asset. Yet, unless there were to be some other way to monetize the assets of unspoiled rurality, the Official and Strategic Plans also have to be designed to increase the population, property base, and assessment to generate the tax revenues necessary to provide the range and quality of services the population wants and needs and to meet the costs of the preservation objective. A third goal, related to the needs of the population, is to enhance the range and quality of services available for the vulnerable members among the population, especially those who are elderly, This last could be a significant key to achieving growth and yet preserving the Townships’ unspoiled character. To begin with this last point, the forthcoming Official Plan will apply during the course of the retirement of many of the “Baby Boomers”, a generation of people who have done well financially and are possessed of considerable wealth, much of it in the form of their now very expensive urban dwellings. One can foresee their desire to ‘downsize’ and leave the cities to join the already significant number of retirees and soon-to-be-retired families living around the rims or near the Township’s lakes. Another attraction of South Frontenac is that first class hospital and other medical care and the cultural and social amenities available in Kingston remain quite easily accessible, at least for those with cars and still able to drive. To my way of thinking, this kind of population growth is best for South Frontenac because retirees too will be anxious to preserve the rural character that attracted them here in the first place. That and the fact that their properties will tend to be relatively ‘up-scale’ and therefore generate tax revenues that can be used in considerable part to finance upgraded services for all Township residents. The challenge, of course, is to develop the range of high-quality home-based services that will continue to allow the population, new and old, to continue to live safely and comfortably in their homes or, at some point, in residential care facilities in the hamlets nearest their home communities. Such home and residential home care will also provide gainful employment that will continue to keep young people in the Township, another highly desirable objective. Therefore, in developing the new Official and Strategic Plans considerable thought should go into identifying what the Township should and could be doing to foster the service sector of its economy, a sector that this relatively well-off sector will want and need – high-speed internet, home maintenance and cleaning, snow-removal, gardening, and the like, and in the hamlets, convenience stores, dining and food ‘take-out’ facilities, and places where people can congregate and reinforce their sense of community. Obviously, such services should be privately owned and operated but the Plan should facilitate their development and location throughout the Township. The “Community Hub” concept articulated in the strategic plan of the South Frontenac Community Services Corporation would be of substantial assistance to the development of a vigorous home and community service sector. As for the protection and preservation of the Township’s lakes and rural, unspoiled character, maintaining this as a major objective of the Official Plan seems to me to be one of those “no brainers”. After much discussion over the past several years, I believe reasonable compromises have now been reached between those in favour of flat-out development at any cost and those who would turn the clock back to pre-lakeside development days, something that is just not going to happen. Personally, I believe too much regulatory attention has been directed toward the upgrading and/or building of individual properties, the great majority to be occupied by ecologically-minded property owners, and too little has been directed to the regulation of condominium-type property developers concerned primarily or even solely with optimizing their financial returns. Such developments make sense from the Township’s perspective but only if they are done in ways that preserve the quality of the environment, including both lake and groundwater quality.
Page 32 of 295
It seems to me that building the Plans around revitalization of the Township’s hamlets is one key to success. Those hamlets, once thriving as centres for the farm families around them, have lost or continue to be in the process of losing the amenities and character that once made them attractive as places where the members of their farm communities could retire but still remain well connected to their friends and neighbours. We should think hard about how those hamlets could be made more attractive to retirees from cities now that small farms are largely gone, never to return economically. The first answer that people will suggest is the recreation of suburbia – what the British call housing estates – akin to those developments around Toronto (and Kingston). Frankly “suburban estates” would be a disaster for South Frontenac Township; they are built around the automobile, lack amenities, and do not reinforce any sense of community, the result being that the residents, even when retired, remain commuters rather than residents with a stake in the Township, their communities, and their neighbourhoods. What could be done to revitalize our hamlets? One way would be to develop appropriate property standards, enforce them, and eliminate the “dumps” some residents have let their homes become. The Township did a great job when it upgraded the main street through Perth Road Village; I think I see a general improvement in home maintenance in the hamlet but there remain several properties, the maintenance of the yards of which continue to set a very bad example. Cleaning up is not very expensive. Another relatively inexpensive but effective way of revitalizing the hamlets is to develop their recreational and meeting capacities and orienting them toward seniors – pickle ball courts, shuffleboard, meeting rooms for bridge and euchre players, etc. The more people who can be drawn to the hamlets by such things, the higher the probabilities are that restaurants and other food outlets will be drawn to locate there too. Ideally one could conceive of the location of groups of “mini-homes” to provide serviced semi-collective living for people who can no longer live independently in their own homes but want to stay in their familiar communities. A model in Kingston is OASIS in one of the Bowling Green buildings off Sir John A. MacDonald blvd. Franklin Manor, a retirement home near Perth Road Village is another. I hope these thoughts on the “rolling forward” of the Official and Strategic Plans will prove helpful. Yours truly, Duncan G. Sinclair

Claire Dodds, Director of Development Services
South Frontenac Official Plan Review – preliminary comments on the existing Official Plan ——————————————————————————————————————————Subject:
Dear Ms. Dodds, Thank you for making our office aware of the review process for the Township of South Frontenac’s Official Plan. Our office understands that the Township is requesting comments on the currently adopted Official Plan with a view to drafting an updated Official Plan. Our office has an interest in this process appreciates the opportunity to provide comments at this and all stages of the review. Staff within our office would be pleased to meet in person to discuss our comments at any time. Based on our review of the currently adopted Official Plan our office has the following comments: •
The RVCA has an interest in the definitions section of the Official Plan. There may be additional definitions that we would be interested in defining once a draft of the plan is available. Based on the existing plan, our office has an interest in the following definitions: o Fish habitat o Flood plain for river and stream systems o Natural heritage features and areas o Site alteration o Wetlands
Page 34 of 295
•
We have an interest in the natural heritage vision, goals and objectives and would hope to see inclusion of wording which has the effect of ensuring no net loss of environmental quality and strengthening policies around vegetative buffer surrounding waterbodies and watercourses.
•
Related to the recreational goals of the Official Plan, we have an interest in supporting the Township in securing land located along shorelines for public uses. Our offices may be able to offer a variety of tools to assist with this goal. In addition, we have an interest in maintaining these public shorelands in a natural state where appropriate, beneficial and feasible.
•
Many cottage conversions from Limited Service Residential occur in areas of the Township that have private road access. We have an interest in exploring safe vehicular access to remote areas of the Township and collaborating on appropriate policies.
•
We have an interest in reviewing the environmental protection sections to ensure that they are consistent with adjacent land policies contained within the County Official Plan. A specific point of interest is the existing policy (5.2.1) which appears to allow new agricultural buildings within provincially significant wetlands. Currently, our policies do not support this type of development. Where existing agricultural operations (fields and plowing) occur within a wetland they may continue, but we welcome the opportunity to have a discussion regarding an appropriate development policy within the wetland.
•
We have an interest in supporting wording in the Official Plan that maintains flexibility to appropriately recognize boundary changes for natural heritage features and natural hazards. We would support policies that would ensure public notification of these changes occurs without the need for official plan and zoning by-law amendments.
•
We have an interest in supporting the Township’s efforts to map all wetlands on land use schedules, not just those recognized as being of provincial significance.
•
We appreciate the wording where development within adjacent lands should be assessed through an EIA.
•
We are curious to know the success of Lake Impact Assessments.
•
We have an interest in supporting appropriate growth areas within the Township that are identified through the official plan. Properly identifying growth areas can reduce inappropriate pressure on rural and agricultural lands and their accompanying natural heritage features.
•
We would support firm language on the minimum lot size of 5 hectares for island development.
•
We are interested in collaborating on properly worded policy around the 30m vegetative buffer surrounding waterbodies and watercourses. Page 2 of 3
Page 35 of 295
•
We would support the Township limiting home based occupations and industries and second dwelling units in areas that are identified as hazardous lands.
•
We would support a list of regularly anticipated technical studies being included in the Official Plan. It has been our experience that this can assist all parties in the development review process with a common understanding of certain criteria for development.
•
We have an interest in working with the Township to develop waterfront development policies to be consistent with section 3.3.3.4 of the County Official Plan.
•
We have an interest in supporting strong policies for lake trout lakes.
•
Our office supports updating the land use schedules to include linkages and biodiversity areas.
•
We have an interest in an appropriate policy for new septic disposal sewage systems on waterfront lands within the Township. We are interested in encouraging all new septic systems to meet a minimum setback of 30 metres from the normal highwater mark, or greater, as the case may be. In redevelopment situations where it is not possible to meet the 30m setback, we have an interest in exploring maximizing the greatest setback possible and requiring improved treatment technologies.
Yours truly,

Public Meeting
a)
2019 Development Charges Background Study and Proposed By-law Resolution No. 2019-19-09 Moved by Councillor Leonard Seconded by Councillor Roberts That a public meeting be held to provide a review of the Development Charges study and to review public input on the proposed by-law and charges as required under the Development Charges Act, 1997 as amended. Carried
b)
Development Charges - Background Study and Proposed By-law Gary Scanland, Watson & Associates briefly reviewed the study, the proposed development charges and provided insight to the impact of Bill 108 and the Community Benefit Plan. The current development charge rate has not been indexed and noted that the new rate could be implemented in steps, however in 2021 the “soft services” will be removed. Direction from Council on how to implement the new rate is required. Mayor Vandewal questioned the breakdown in the rate and the portion that is calculated for “soft services”. Mr. Scanland indicated that is still unclear as to what portion can be paid for overtime. Deputy Mayor Sleeth asked how many years was the by-law for. Mr. Scanland indicated that it was for five years and noted that some townships phase in the rate over three years with a 1/3 increase each year. Councillor Revill inquired about the process for phase in and would that be incorporated in the by-law. Mr. Scanland indicated that it could be done as three separate schedules to the by-law or a step up rate as a clause in the bylaw. Councillor Sutherland asked for clarification between Sections 3 and 5 in the proposed by-law as he interpreted it to cover the same topic twice. He also questioned the value of work done by a developer taken off the charge and is there a formula or guideline for that. Mr. Scanland clarified that Section 3 speaks to the geography and Section 5 refers to the quantum of the charge, with respect to the work done by the developer, this would be assessed by staff. Mr. Scanland provided clarity on the refund provision; the refund would go to whomever took out the building permit. There were no members of the public in attendance. Mayor Vandewal did not support the three stage approach to implementing the fee. Previous Councils had opted to do this and this has put South Frontenac behind. There have been no inquiries from developers about the new charges or the background study. The direction from Council was to proceed with the by-law as presented. This by-law will be adopted at the August 6, 2019 Council meeting.

June 26, 2019 The Honourable Doug Downey, Attorney General of Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General 720 Bay Street 11th Floor Toronto, ON M7A 2S9 Dear Honourable Sir: Re: Resolution Regarding Enforcement for Safety on Family Farms Please be advised that Warwick Township Council adopted the following resolution at their regular meeting on June 17, 2019:
WHEREAS agriculture is the second largest industry in Ontario, contributing $13.7 billion annually to Ontario’s GDP and is essential for putting food on the tables of millions of people here and around the world; AND WHEREAS in recent months there has been a steady increase in harassment of farmers and livestock transporters by activists opposed to animal agriculture and the consumption of animals; AND WHEREAS the protests have become blatantly illegal in nature with extremist groups trespassing onto private property, unlawfully entering into buildings and removing animals without fear of prosecution and even promoting and publishing their crimes on social media; AND WHEREAS maintaining proper biosecurity is essential to ensure the health and well-being of the animals cared for on these agricultural operations; AND WHEREAS the recent attacks on farmers homes and businesses have resulted in no criminal charges laid, leaving farmers feeling unprotected by the Ontario legal system and afraid for the welfare of themselves, their families, their employees and the animals they care for; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council for the Corporation of the Township of Warwick requests that Hon. Doug Downey work with his fellow MPP’s and agricultural leaders to find a better way forward to ensure stronger enforcement of existing laws - or new legislation - to ensure the safety of Ontario’s farm families, employees and animals;

Page 48 of 295
REPORT TO COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION A public meeting to hear comments from the public on the proposed Development Charges background study and by-law was held on July 2, 2019 under Section 12 of the Development Charges Act, 1997 as amended. No members of the public were in attendance at the July 2nd, 2019 statutory public meeting and no comments were received in writing from any member of the public on the proposed 2019 Development Charges By-law or Background Study. Notice of the July 2, 2019 Public Meeting was formally advertised in the Frontenac News on Thursday, June 6, 2019. In order that sufficient information was made available to the public, the DC Background Study was made available on the Township’s website on May 31, 2019 and copies were made available at the Clerk’s Office and the Development Services Department as of May 30, 2019. The release of the background study advertising of the June 19, 2019 open house and the July 2nd public meeting was advertised on the website, Township electronic sign and was promoted using the Township’s social media accounts. The Development Charge Background Study and By-law have been posted and available in excess of 60 days, consistent with the requirements of the Development Charges Act, and can now be considered by Council for adoption. Consistent with Council’s comments at the July 2nd, 2019 Council meeting, the proposed 2019 Development Charges By-law has been prepared to include the following schedule of rates which appears as schedule B-1 & B-2 in the by-law.
The rates will be indexed to increase on an annual basis for the 5 year life of the bylaw in accordance with the Statistics Canada Quarterly, Construction Price Statistics. The Development Charges rate has been separated into “Hard” and “Soft” services to ease with transitions that are anticipated to be brought about as part of the changes to the Development Charges Act under Bill 108 (see discussion below).
Page 49 of 295
REPORT TO COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT The Development Charges in schedule B-1(Hard services) & B-2 (Soft services) will both be charged at the time a building permit is issued. For example: the development charge for a single detached dwelling will be $8102 (hard services) + $1281 (soft services) = $9383 (total DC charge). Assuming that Council passes the By-law at the August 6th, 2019 Council meeting, the new Development Charges rates will take effect on August 7th, 2019. The existing Development Charges By-law will be repealed. The appeal period is 40 days. Any appeals would be heard by the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT). A notice of passing is required to be placed in the newspaper and circulated in accordance with the requirements of the Development Charges Act. A pamphlet outlining the new Development Charges will be prepared and posted on the Township website. A copy of the 2019 Development Charges Background Study is attached for Council’s information (Attachment 1). The proposed Development Charge By-law 2019-48 is listed in Appendix G in the Background Study and is also attached for ease of reference as Attachment 2. Impact of Bill 108 As Council is aware, Bill 108 proposes several changes to how Development Charges are calculated and collected in Ontario. Bill 108 was given Royal Assent on June 6, 2019, however certain sections of this Bill related to the Development Charges Act and the Planning Act will only take effect on Proclamation. As of the date of this report, proclamation has not yet occurred. Draft regulations relating to the Development Charges Act has been released for public comment. The Township’s Development Charge consultants, Watson & Associates, have been carefully monitoring the changes with Bill 108 and its impact on municipalities across Ontario and will be providing comments to the Province on behalf of its clients on draft regulations relating to Bill 108. A number of the significant changes to the Development Charges Act under Bill 108 are outlined below: • Development charge (DC) rates will be frozen to the rate in effect on the date an application is made for site plan or zoning approval as opposed to the rate in effect at the time a building permit is issued. However, DCs would continue to be paid at the time of a building permit issuance; • Creation of one secondary dwelling unit in new residential buildings is exempt from DCs; • DCs related to rental housing, institutional, industrial, commercial and non-profit housing is able to be paid in annual installments; • The types of services for which DCs can be collected are now limited to those related to hard services including infrastructure and protection (i.e. roads, water, wastewater and storm water, transit, waste diversion, ambulance, fire and policing services. DCs related to soft services (i.e. libraries, parks) will be collected through a new Community Benefit Charge under Section 37 of the Planning Act.
Page 50 of 295
REPORT TO COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT Staff anticipate that under Bill 108 the Development Charges By-law will be required to be amendment prior to January 1, 2021 to remove “soft services” from being collected under the Development Charges By-law. Under the amendments to the Planning Act through Bill 108, a new charge called the “Community Benefit Charge” will be developed that combines cash-in-lieu of parkland rates and soft services that have previously been collected through Development Charges. Our consultant, Watsons & Associates has structured the proposed Development Charges By-law, 2019-48 to easily be amendment to remove the soft service charges. Under the Planning Act, a Community Benefit Charge Strategy will need to be completed in 2020 to establish the new Community Benefit Charge. The “hard services” will continued to be charged under the Development Charges By-law for a period of 5 years before needing to be updated. Once detailed regulations have been released by the Province, Township staff will provide further information to Council as to what the required next steps will be to ensure our by-law meets legislative compliance with Bill 108 and its related regulations.

Executive Summary
- The report provided herein represents the Development Charges (D.C.) Background Study for the Township of South Frontenac required by the Development Charges Act, 1997 (D.C.A.). This report has been prepared in accordance with the methodology required under the D.C.A. The contents include the following: • •
Chapter 1 – Overview of the legislative requirements of the Act; Chapter 2 – Review of present D.C. policies of the Township;
•
Chapter 3 – Summary of the residential and non-residential growth forecasts for the Township;
• •
•
Chapter 4 – Approach to calculating the D.C.; Chapter 5 – Review of historical service standards and identification of future capital requirements to service growth and related deductions and allocations; Chapter 6 – Calculation of the D.C.s;
• •
Chapter 7 – D.C. policy recommendations and rules; and Chapter 8 – By-law implementation.
- D.C.s provide for the recovery of growth-related capital expenditures from new development. The D.C.A. is the statutory basis to recover these charges. The methodology is detailed in Chapter 4; a simplified summary is provided below:
- Identify amount, type and location of growth;
- Identify servicing needs to accommodate growth;
- Identify capital costs to provide services to meet the needs;
- Deduct: • •
Grants, subsidies and other contributions; Benefit to existing development;
• •
Statutory 10% deduction (soft services); Amounts in excess of 10-year historical service calculation;
•
D.C. reserve funds (where applicable);

- Net costs are then allocated between residential and non-residential benefit; and
- Net costs divided by growth to provide the D.C. charge.
- A number of changes to the D.C. process need to be addressed as a result of the Smart Growth for our Communities Act, 2015 (Bill 73). These changes have been incorporated throughout the report and in the updated draft by-law, as necessary. These items include: a. Area-rating: Council must consider the use of area-specific charges. b. Asset Management Plan for New Infrastructure: The D.C. background study must include an asset management plan that deals with all assets proposed to be funded, in whole or in part, by D.C.s. The asset management plan must show that the assets are financially sustainable over their full lifecycle. c. 60-day Circulation Period: The D.C. background study must be released to the public at least 60-days prior to passage of the D.C. by-law. d. Timing of Collection of Development Charges: The D.C.A. now requires D.C.s to be collected at the time of the first building permit.
- The growth forecast (Chapter 3) on which the Township-wide D.C. is based, projects the following population, housing and non-residential floor area for the 10-year (2019 to 2028) and 15-year (2019 to 2033) periods. Measure

- On September 2, 2014, the Township of South Frontenac passed By-law 201454 under the D.C.A. The by-law imposes D.C.s on residential and nonresidential uses. This by-law will expire on September 3, 2019. The Township is

undertaking a D.C. public process and anticipates passing a new by-law in advance of the expiry date. The mandatory public meeting has been set for July 2, 2019 with adoption of the by-law on August 6, 2019. 6. The Township’s D.C.s currently in effect are $6,758 for single detached dwelling units for full services. Non-residential charges are $5.22 per square foot for full services. This report has undertaken a recalculation of the charge based on future identified needs (presented in Schedule ES-1 for residential and nonresidential). Charges have been provided on a Township-wide basis for all services. The corresponding single detached unit charge is $9,383. The nonresidential charge is $5.94 per square foot of building area. These rates are submitted to Council for its consideration. 7. The D.C.A. requires a summary be provided of the gross capital costs and the net costs to be recovered over the life of the by-law. This calculation is provided by service and is presented in Table 6-4. A summary of these costs is provided below: Total gross expenditures planned over the next five years Less: Benefit to existing development Post planning period benefit Ineligible re: Level of Service Mandatory 10% deduction for certain services Grants, subsidies and other contributions Net Costs to be recovered from development charges
$ 7,418,333 $ 547,330 $ $ $ 122,375 $ $ 6,748,628
This suggests that for the non-D.C. cost over the five-year D.C. by-law (benefit to existing development, mandatory 10% deduction, and the grants, subsidies and other contributions), $669,705 (or an annual amount of $133,941) will need to be contributed from taxes and rates, or other sources. Based on the above table, the Township plans to spend $7.42 million over the next five years, of which $6.75 million (91%) is recoverable from D.C.s. Of this net amount, $6.17 million is recoverable from residential development and $0.58 million from non-residential development. It is noted also that any exemptions or reductions in the charges would reduce this recovery further.

- Introduction 1.1 Purpose of this Document This background study has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of the D.C.A. (section 10) and, accordingly, recommends new D.C.s and policies for the Township of South Frontenac. The Township retained Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. (Watson), to undertake the D.C.s (D.C.) study process during 2019. Watson worked with Township staff preparing the D.C. analysis and policy recommendations. This D.C. background study, containing the proposed D.C. by-law, will be distributed to members of the public in order to provide interested parties with sufficient background information on the legislation, the study’s recommendations and an outline of the basis for these recommendations. This report has been prepared, in the first instance, to meet the statutory requirements applicable to the Township’s D.C. background study, as summarized in Chapter 4. It also addresses the requirement for “rules” (contained in Chapter 7) and the proposed by-law to be made available as part of the approval process (included as Appendix G). In addition, the report is designed to set out sufficient background on the legislation (Chapter 4), South Frontenac’s current D.C. policies (Chapter 2) and the policies underlying the proposed by-law, to make the exercise understandable to those who are involved. Finally, it addresses post-adoption implementation requirements (Chapter 8) which are critical to the successful application of the new policy. The Chapters in the report are supported by Appendices containing the data required to explain and substantiate the calculation of the charge. A full discussion of the statutory requirements for the preparation of a background study and calculation of a D.C. is provided herein.

1.3 Changes to the D.C.A.: Bill 73 – Smart Growth for our Communities Act, 2015 With the amendment of the D.C.A. (as a result of Bill 73 and O.Reg. 428/15), there are a number of areas that must be addressed to ensure that the Township is in compliance with the D.C.A., as amended. The following provides an explanation of the changes to the Act that affect the Township’s background study and how they have been dealt with to ensure compliance with the amended legislation.
1.3.1 Area Rating Bill 73 has introduced two new sections where Council must consider the use of areaspecific charges:
- Section 2 (9) of the Act now requires a municipality to implement area-specific D.C.s for either specific services which are prescribed and/or for specific municipalities which are to be regulated. (Note that at this time, no municipalities or services are prescribed by the Regulations.)
- Section 10 (2) c. 1 of the D.C.A. requires that, “the development charges background study shall include consideration of the use of more than one development charge by-law to reflect different needs for services in different areas.” In regard to the first item, there are no services or specific municipalities identified in the regulations which must be area-rated. The second item requires Council to consider the use of area rating.
1.3.2 Asset Management Plan for New Infrastructure The new legislation now requires that a D.C. background study must include an Asset Management Plan (subsection 10 (2) (c.2)). The asset management plan must deal with all assets that are proposed to be funded, in whole or in part, by D.C.s. The current regulations provide very extensive and specific requirements for the asset management plan related to transit services; however, they are silent with respect to how the asset management plan is to be provided for all other services. As part of any asset management plan, the examination should be consistent with the municipality’s existing assumptions, approaches and policies on asset management planning. This

Page 68 of 295
examination may include both qualitative and quantitative measures such as examining the annual future lifecycle contributions needs (discussed further in Appendix F of this report).
1.3.3 60-Day Circulation of D.C. Background Study Previously the legislation required that a D.C. background study be made available to the public at least two weeks prior to the public meeting. The amended legislation now provides that the D.C. background study must be made available to the public (including posting on the municipal website) at least 60 days prior to passage of the D.C. by-law. No other changes were made to timing requirements for such things as notice of the public meeting and notice of by-law passage. This D.C. study is being provided to the public on May 31, 2019 to ensure the new requirements for release of the study is met.
1.3.4 Timing of Collection of D.C.s The D.C.A. has been refined by Bill 73 to require that D.C.s are collected at the time of the first building permit. For the majority of development, this will not impact the Township’s present process. There may be instances, however, where several building permits are to be issued and either the size of the development or the uses will not be definable at the time of the first building permit. In these instances, the Township may enter into a delayed payment agreement in order to capture the full development.
1.3.5 Other Changes It is also noted that a number of other changes were made through Bill 73 and O.Reg. 428/15 including changes to the way in which Transit D.C. service standards are calculated, the inclusion of Waste Diversion and the ability for collection of additional levies; however, these sections do not impact the Township’s D.C.

1.4 Proposed Changes to the D.C.A.: Bill 108 – An Act to Amend Various Statutes with Respect to Housing, Other Development and Various Other Matters On May 2, 2019, the Province introduced Bill 108 which proposes changes to the Development Charges Act. The Bill has been introduced as part of the Province’s “More Homes, More Choice: Ontario’s Housing Supply Action Plan”. The Bill was given first reading and is expected to be debated over the coming months. The Act proposes that any Development Charge (D.C.) by-laws passed after May 2, 2019 will be affected by these proposed changes. Any by-laws which were passed prior to this date will remain in effect until it is either repealed or expires. A summary of the proposed changes to the Development Charges Act (D.C.A.) is provided below: Changes to Eligible Services – the Bill will remove “Soft Services” from the D.C.A. These services will be considered as part of a new Community Benefit Charge (discussed below) imposed under the Planning Act. Eligible services which will remain under the D.C.A. are as follows: • •
Water supply services, including distribution and treatment services; Waste water services, including sewers and treatment services;
• • •
Storm water drainage and control services; Services related to a highway as defined in subsection 1 (1) of the Municipal Act, 2001 or subsection 3 (1) of the City of Toronto Act, 2006, as the case may be; Electrical power services;
• •
Policing services; Fire protection services;
• •
Toronto-York subway extension, as defined in subsection 5.1 (1); Transit services other than the Toronto-York subway extension;
• •
Waste diversion services; and Other services as prescribed.
Waste Diversion – the Bill will remove the mandatory 10% deduction for this service. Payment in Installments over Six Years – the Bill proposes that Rental Housing, NonProfit Housing and Commercial/Industrial/Institutional developments pay their
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. H:\South Frontenac\2019 DC\Report\Development Charges Report - Final.docx
PAGE 1-5
Page 70 of 295
development charges in six equal annual payments commencing the earlier of the date of issuance of a building permit or occupancy. If payments are not made, interest may be charged (at a presecribed rate) and may be added to the property and collected as taxes. When D.C. Amount is Determined – the Bill proposes that the D.C. amount for all developments proceeding by Site Plan or requiring a zoning amendment, shall be determined based on the D.C. charge in effect on the day of the application for Site Plan or zoning amendment. If the development is not proceeding via these planning approvals then the amount is determined the earlier of the date of issuance of a building permit or occupancy. Soft Services to be Included in a new Community Benefit Charge under the Planning Act – it is proposed that a municipality may by by-law impose community benefits charges against land to pay for the capital costs of facilities, services and matters required because of development or redevelopment in the area to which the bylaw applies. These services may not include services authorized by the D.C.A. Various provisons are provided as follows: •
Before passing a community benefits charge by-law, the municipality shall prepare a community benefits charge strategy that, (a) identifies the facilities, services and matters that will be funded with community benefits charges and (b) complies with any prescribed requirements;
•
The amount of a community benefits charge payable shall not exceed an amount equal to the prescribed percentage of the value of the land as of the valuation date;
• •
The valuation date is the day before building permit issuance; Valuations will be based on appraised value of land. Various requirements are set out in this regard;
•
All money received by the municipality under a community benefits charge bylaw shall be paid into a special account;
•
In each calendar year, a municipality shall spend or allocate at least 60 percent of the monies that are in the special account at the beginning of the year;
• •
Requirements for annual reporting shall be prescribed; and Transitional provisions are set out regarding the D.C. reserve funds and D.C. credits.

Page 75 of 295
- Anticipated Development in the Township of South Frontenac 3.1 Requirement of the Act Chapter 4 provides the methodology for calculating a D.C. as per the D.C.A. Figure 4-1 presents this methodology graphically. It is noted in the first box of the schematic that in order to determine the D.C. that may be imposed, it is a requirement of Section 5 (1) of the D.C.A. that “the anticipated amount, type and location of development, for which development charges can be imposed, must be estimated.” The growth forecast contained in this chapter (with supplemental tables in Appendix A) provides for the anticipated development for which the Township of South Frontenac will be required to provide services, over a 10-year (mid-2019 to mid-2029) and 15-year term (mid-2019 to mid-2034) time horizon.
3.2 Basis of Population, Household and Non-Residential Gross Floor Area Forecast The D.C. growth forecast has been derived from the Population, Housing and Employment Projections for the Frontenacs Final Report, June 13, 2014, prepared by Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. In compiling the growth forecast, the following additional information sources were consulted to further assess the residential and nonresidential development potential for the Township of South Frontenac over the forecast period, including: •

• •
Population, housing and employment data from 2006, 2011 and 2016 Census; Residential supply data (in the development process) as provided by the Township of South Frontenac; Non-residential supply opportunities as provided by the Township of South Frontenac; and
• •
Discussions with Township of South Frontenac staff regarding historic and expected seasonal development activity.
3.3 Summary of Growth Forecast A detailed analysis of the residential and non-residential growth forecasts is provided in Appendix A and the methodology employed is illustrated in Figure 3-1. The discussion provided herein summarizes the anticipated growth for the Township and describes the basis for the forecast. The results of the residential growth forecast analysis are summarized in Table 3-1 below, and Schedule 1 in Appendix A. As identified in Table 3-1 and Appendix A, Schedule 1, the Township’s permanent population is anticipated to reach approximately 20,970 by mid-2029 and 21,760 by mid-2034, resulting in an increase of approximately 1,820 and 2,600 persons, respectively, over the 10-year and 15-year forecast periods. The Township’s seasonal population is forecast to increase to 11,090 persons in 2029, and approximately 11,150 persons in 2034. The Township’s total population (permanent and seasonal population) is forecast to reach approximately 32,060 by 2029, and 32,900 by 2034. 1

Provided below is a summary of the key assumptions and findings regarding the Township of South Frontenac D.C. growth forecast.
- Housing Unit Mix (Appendix A – Schedules 1 and 6) •
The unit mix for the Township was derived from a detailed review of historical development activity (as per Schedule 6), as well as active residential development applications, and discussions with Township staff regarding anticipated development trends for the Township. Map A-1 geographically illustrates the location of currently active subdivisions and condominiums in South Frontenac as of March, 2019.
•
Based on the above indicators, the 2019 to 2034 household growth forecast is comprised of a unit mix of 96% low density (single detached and semi-detached), 2% medium density (multiples) and 2% high density (apartments).
- Planning Period •
Short and longer-term time horizons are required for the D.C. process. The D.C.A. limits the planning horizon for certain services, such as parks, recreation and libraries, to a 10-year planning horizon. Services related to a highway, public works, fire, police, stormwater, water and wastewater services can utilize a longer planning period.
- Population in New Housing Units (Appendix A - Schedules 3, 4 and 5) •
•
The number of housing units to be constructed in the Township of South Frontenac during the short- and long-term periods is presented on Figure 3-2. Over the 2019 to 2034 forecast period, the Township is anticipated to average 104 new permanent and seasonal housing units per year. Institutional population 1 is anticipated to grow modestly by 8 persons between 2019 to 2034.
1 Institutional includes special care facilities such as nursing home or residences for
senior citizens. A P.P.U. of 1.100 depicts 1-bedroom and 2 or more bedroom units in these special care facilities.

•
•
Population in new units is derived from Schedules 3, 4, and 5, which incorporate historical development activity, anticipated units (see unit mix discussion) and average persons per unit (P.P.U.) by dwelling type for new units. Schedules 7a and 7b summarize the P.P.U. for the new housing units by age and type of dwelling based on a 2016 custom Census data. The total calculated P.P.U. for all density types has been downwardly adjusted to account for the P.P.U. trends which has been recently experienced in both new and older units. Forecasted 20-year average P.P.U.s by dwelling type are as follows: o Low density: 2.745 o Medium density: 2.200 1 o High density : 1.599
- Existing Units and Population Change (Appendix A - Schedules 3, 4 and 5) •
Existing households for mid-2019 are based on the 2016 Census households, plus estimated residential units constructed between mid2016 and 2019 assuming a 6-month lag between construction and occupancy (see Schedule 3).
•
The decline in average occupancy levels for existing housing units is calculated in Schedules 3 through 5, by aging the existing population over the forecast period. The forecast population decline in existing households over the 2019 to 2034 forecast period is approximately 1,290.
- Employment (Appendix A, Schedules 9a, 9b, 9c, 10 and 11) •
Employment projections are largely based on the activity rate method, which is defined as the number of jobs in a municipality divided by the number of residents. Key employment sectors include primary, industrial, commercial/ population-related, institutional, and work at home, which are considered individually below.
1 Includes bachelor, 1-bedroom and 2 or more bedroom apartments

2016 employment data 1 (place of work) for the Township of South Frontenac is outlined in Schedule 9a. The 2016 employment base is comprised of the following sectors: • •
40 primary (2%); 775 work at home employment (37%);
• •
218 industrial (11%); 523 commercial/population related (25%); and
•
520 institutional (25%).
The 2016 employment by usual place of work, including work at home, is estimated at 2,075. An additional 1,200 employees have been identified for the Township in 2016 that have no fixed place of work (N.F.P.O.W.). 2 The 2016 employment base, including N.F.P.O.W., totals approximately 3,275. Total employment, including work at home and N.F.P.O.W., for the Township of South Frontenac is anticipated to reach approximately 3,840 by mid-2029 and 4,040 by mid-2034. This represents an employment increase of 450 for the 10-year forecast period and 650 for the 15-year forecast period. Schedule 9b, Appendix A, summarizes the employment forecast, excluding work at home employment and N.F.P.O.W. employment, which is the basis for the D.C. employment forecast. The impact on municipal services from work at home employees has already been included in the population forecast. The need for municipal services related to N.F.P.O.W. employees has largely been included in the employment forecast by usual place of work (i.e. employment and gross floor area generated from N.F.P.O.W. construction employment). Furthermore,
1 2016 employment is based on Statistics Canada 2016 Place of Work Employment
dataset. 2 Statistics Canada defines “No Fixed Place of Work” (N.F.P.O.W.) employees as, “persons who do not go from home to the same work place location at the beginning of each shift. Such persons include building and landscape contractors, travelling salespersons, independent truck drivers, etc.”
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. H:\South Frontenac\2019 DC\Report\Development Charges Report - Final.docx
PAGE 3-8
Page 83 of 295
since these employees have no fixed work address, they cannot be captured in the non-residential gross floor area (G.F.A.) calculation. •
Total employment for the Township of South Frontenac (excluding work at home and N.F.P.O.W. employment) is anticipated to reach approximately 1,560 by mid-2029 and 1,620 by mid-2034. This represents an employment increase of 200 and 260 over the 10-year and 15-year forecast periods, respectively.
- Non-Residential Sq.ft. Estimates (Gross Floor Area (G.F.A.), Appendix A, Schedule 9b) •
Square footage estimates were calculated in Schedule 9b based on the following employee density assumptions: o 1,500 sq.ft. per employee for industrial; o 550 sq.ft. per employee for commercial/population-related; and o 659 sq.ft. per employee for institutional employment. • The Township-wide incremental Gross Floor Area (G.F.A.) increase is anticipated to be approximately 170,000 sq.ft. over the 10-year forecast period and 222,200 sq.ft. over the 2019 to 2034 forecast period, downwardly adjusted to account for institutional development associated with special care facilities.
•
In terms of percentage growth, the 2019 to 2034 incremental G.F.A. forecast by sector is broken down as follows:
- industrial – 56%;
- commercial/population-related – 29%; and
- institutional – 15%.

- The Approach to the Calculation of the Charge 4.1 Introduction This chapter addresses the requirements of subsection 5 (1) of the D.C.A. with respect to the establishment of the need for service which underpins the D.C. calculation. These requirements are illustrated schematically in Figure 4-1.
4.2 Increase in the Need for Service The D.C. calculation commences with an estimate of “the increase in the need for service attributable to the anticipated development,” for each service to be covered by the by-law. There must be some form of link or attribution between the anticipated development and the estimated increase in the need for service. While the need could conceivably be expressed generally in terms of units of capacity, subsection 5 (1) 3, which requires that Township Council indicate that it intends to ensure that such an increase in need will be met, suggests that a project-specific expression of need would be most appropriate.

4.3 Services Potentially Involved Table 4-1 lists the full range of municipal service categories which are provided within the Township. A number of these services are defined in subsection 2 (4) of the D.C.A. as being ineligible for inclusion in D.C.s. These are shown as “ineligible” on Table 4-1. Two ineligible costs defined in subsection 5 (3) of the D.C.A. are “computer equipment” and “rolling stock with an estimated useful life of (less than) seven years…” In addition, local roads are covered separately under subdivision agreements and related means (as are other local services). Services which are potentially eligible for inclusion in the Township’s D.C. are indicated with a “Yes.” Table 4-1 Categories of Municipal Services to be Addressed as Part of the Calculation Eligibility for Inclusion in the D.C.

4.4 Local Service Policy Some of the need for services generated by additional development consists of local services related to a plan of subdivision. As such, they will be required as a condition of subdivision agreements or consent conditions.
4.5 Capital Forecast Paragraph 7 of subsection 5 (1) of the D.C.A. requires that “the capital costs necessary to provide the increased services must be estimated.” The Act goes on to require two potential cost reductions and the Regulation sets out the way in which such costs are to be presented. These requirements are outlined below. These estimates involve capital costing of the increased services discussed above. This entails costing actual projects or the provision of service units, depending on how each service has been addressed. The capital costs include: a) costs to acquire land or an interest therein (including a leasehold interest); b) costs to improve land; c) costs to acquire, lease, construct or improve buildings and structures; d) costs to acquire, lease or improve facilities, including rolling stock (with a useful life of 7 or more years), furniture and equipment (other than computer equipment), materials acquired for library circulation, reference or information purposes; e) interest on money borrowed to pay for the above-referenced costs; f) costs to undertake studies in connection with the above-referenced matters; and g) costs of the D.C. background study. In order for an increase in need for service to be included in the D.C. calculation, Township Council must indicate “…that it intends to ensure that such an increase in need will be met” (subsection 5 (1) 3). This can be done if the increase in service forms part of a Council-approved Official Plan, capital forecast or similar expression of the intention of Council (O.Reg. 82/98 section 3). The capital program contained herein reflects the Township’s approved and proposed capital budgets and master servicing/needs studies.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. H:\South Frontenac\2019 DC\Report\Development Charges Report - Final.docx
PAGE 4-7
Page 92 of 295
4.6 Treatment of Credits Section 8, paragraph 5, of O.Reg. 82/98 indicates that a D.C. background study must set out “the estimated value of credits that are being carried forward relating to the service.” Subsection 17, paragraph 4, of the same Regulation indicates that “…the value of the credit cannot be recovered from future D.C.s,” if the credit pertains to an ineligible service. This implies that a credit for eligible services can be recovered from future D.C.s. As a result, this provision should be made in the calculation, in order to avoid a funding shortfall with respect to future service needs. There are no outstanding credit obligations for inclusion in the D.C. calculations.
4.7 Existing Reserve Funds Section 35 of the D.C.A. states that: “The money in a reserve fund established for a service may be spent only for capital costs determined under paragraphs 2 to 8 of subsection 5 (1).” There is no explicit requirement under the D.C.A. calculation method set out in subsection 5 (1) to net the outstanding reserve fund balance as part of making the D.C. calculation; however, section 35 does restrict the way in which the funds are used in future. For services which are subject to a per capita based, service level “cap,” the reserve fund balance should be applied against the development-related costs for which the charge was imposed once the project is constructed (i.e. the needs of recent growth). This cost component is distinct from the development-related costs for the next 10-year period, which underlie the D.C. calculation herein. The alternative would involve the Township spending all reserve fund monies prior to renewing each by-law, which would not be a sound basis for capital budgeting. Thus, the Township will use these reserve funds for the Township’s cost share of applicable development-related projects, which are required but have not yet been undertaken, as a way of directing the funds to the benefit of the development which contributed them (rather than to future development, which will generate the need for additional facilities directly proportionate to future growth).

The Township’s D.C. Reserve Fund Balance 1by service at December 31, 2018 is shown below:
Service Services Related to a Highway Fire Protection Services Police and Other Facilities Parks and Recreation Library Services Administration Total
Balance as at Dec 31/18 $1,934,664 $5,400 $146,067 $216,287 $64,332 $39,402 $2,406,152
4.8 Deductions The D.C.A. potentially requires that five deductions be made to the increase in the need for service. These relate to: • •
the level of service ceiling; uncommitted excess capacity;
• •
benefit to existing development; anticipated grants, subsidies and other contributions; and
•
10% reduction for certain services.
The requirements behind each of these reductions are addressed as follows:
4.8.1 Reduction Required by Level of Service Ceiling This is designed to ensure that the increase in need included in section 4.3 does “…not include an increase that would result in the level of service (for the additional development increment) exceeding the average level of the service provided in the Municipality over the 10-year period immediately preceding the preparation of the background study…” O.Reg. 82.98 (section 4) goes further to indicate that “…both the quantity and quality of a service shall be taken into account in determining the level of service and the average level of service.”

Page 94 of 295
In many cases, this can be done by establishing a quantity measure in terms of units as floor area, land area or road length per capita and a quality measure, in terms of the average cost of providing such units based on replacement costs, engineering standards or recognized performance measurement systems, depending on circumstances. When the quantity and quality factor are multiplied together, they produce a measure of the level of service, which meets the requirements of the Act, i.e. cost per unit. With respect to transit services, the changes to the Act as a result of Bill 73 have provided for an alternative method for calculating the services standard ceiling. Transit services must now utilize a forward-looking service standard analysis. The Township does not currently, and in the near future does not intend to, provide transit services. Therefore, this change to the Act is not applicable to the Township. The average service level calculation sheets for each service component in the D.C. calculation are set out in Appendix B.
4.8.2 Reduction for Uncommitted Excess Capacity Paragraph 5 of subsection 5 (1) requires a deduction from the increase in the need for service attributable to the anticipated development that can be met using the Township’s “excess capacity,” other than excess capacity which is “committed.” “Excess capacity” is undefined, but in this case must be able to meet some or all of the increase in need for service, in order to potentially represent a deduction. The deduction of uncommitted excess capacity from the future increase in the need for service would normally occur as part of the conceptual planning and feasibility work associated with justifying and sizing new facilities, e.g. if a road widening to accommodate increased traffic is not required because sufficient excess capacity is already available, then widening would not be included as an increase in need, in the first instance.
4.8.3 Reduction for Benefit to Existing Development Section 5 (1) 6 of the D.C.A. provides that, “The increase in the need for service must be reduced by the extent to which an increase in service to meet the increased need would benefit existing development.” The general guidelines used to consider benefit to existing development included:
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. H:\South Frontenac\2019 DC\Report\Development Charges Report - Final.docx
PAGE 4-10
Page 95 of 295
•
the repair or unexpanded replacement of existing assets that are in need of repair;
•
an increase in average service level of quantity or quality (compare water as an example);
• •
the elimination of a chronic servicing problem not created by growth; and providing services where none previously existed (generally considered for water or wastewater services).
This step involves a further reduction in the need, by the extent to which such an increase in service would benefit existing development. The level of services cap in section 4.4 is related but is not the identical requirement. Sanitary, storm and water trunks are highly localized to growth areas and can be more readily allocated in this regard than other services such as services related to a highway, which do not have a fixed service area. Where existing development has an adequate service level which will not be tangibly increased by an increase in service, no benefit would appear to be involved. For example, where expanding existing library facilities simply replicates what existing residents are receiving, they receive very limited (or no) benefit as a result. On the other hand, where a clear existing service problem is to be remedied, a deduction should be made accordingly. In the case of services such as recreation facilities, community parks, libraries, etc., the service is typically provided on a Township-wide system basis. For example, facilities of the same type may provide different services (i.e. leisure pool vs. competitive pool), different programs (i.e. hockey vs. figure skating) and different time availability for the same service (i.e. leisure skating available on Wednesday in one arena and Thursday in another). As a result, residents will travel to different facilities to access the services they want at the times they wish to use them, and facility location generally does not correlate directly with residence location. Even where it does, displacing users from an existing facility to a new facility frees up capacity for use by others and generally results in only a very limited benefit to existing development. Further, where an increase in demand is not met for a number of years, a negative service impact to existing development is involved for a portion of the planning period.

4.8.4 Reduction for Anticipated Grants, Subsidies and Other Contributions This step involves reducing the capital costs necessary to provide the increased services by capital grants, subsidies and other contributions (including direct developer contributions required due to the local service policy) made or anticipated by Council and in accordance with various rules such as the attribution between the share related to new vs. existing development. That is, some grants and contributions may not specifically be applicable to growth or where Council targets fundraising as a measure to offset impacts on taxes (O.Reg. 82/98 section 6).
4.8.5 The 10% Reduction Paragraph 8 of subsection 5 (1) of the D.C.A. requires that, “the capital costs must be reduced by 10 per cent.” This paragraph does not apply to water supply services, waste water services, storm water drainage and control services, services related to a highway, police and fire protection services. The primary services to which the 10% reduction does apply include services such as parks, recreation, libraries, childcare/ social services, the Provincial Offences Act, ambulance, homes for the aged, and health. The 10% is to be netted from the capital costs necessary to provide the increased services, once the other deductions have been made, as per the infrastructure costs sheets in Chapter 5.
4.9 Municipal-wide vs. Area Rating This step involves determining whether all of the subject costs are to be recovered on a uniform municipal-wide basis or whether some or all are to be recovered on an areaspecific basis. Under the amended D.C.A., it is now mandatory to “consider” area-rating of services (providing charges for specific areas and services), however, it is not mandatory to implement area-rating. Further discussion is provided in section 7.4.4.
4.10 Allocation of Development This step involves relating the costs involved to anticipated development for each period under consideration and using allocations between residential and non-residential
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. H:\South Frontenac\2019 DC\Report\Development Charges Report - Final.docx
PAGE 4-12
Page 97 of 295
development and between one type of development and another, to arrive at a schedule of charges.
4.11 Asset Management The new legislation now requires that a D.C. background study must include an asset management plan (subsection 10 (2) c. 2). The asset management plan (A.M.P.) must deal with all assets that are proposed to be funded, in whole or in part, by D.C.s. The current regulations provide very extensive and specific requirements for the A.M.P. related to transit services (as noted in the subsequent subsection); however, they are silent with respect to how the A.M.P. is to be provided for all other services. As part of any A.M.P., the examination should be consistent with the municipality’s existing assumptions, approaches and policies on the asset management planning. This examination has been included in Appendix F.
4.12 Transit The most significant changes to the Act relate to the transit service. The Township does not currently, and in the near future does not intend to, provide transit services. Therefore, calculations and reporting requirements relating to transit are not required.

Chapter 5 D.C.-Eligible Cost Analysis by Service
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. H:\South Frontenac\2019 DC\Report\Development Charges Report - Final.docx
Page 99 of 295
- D.C.-Eligible Cost Analysis by Service 5.1 Introduction This chapter outlines the basis for calculating eligible costs for the D.C.s to be applied on a uniform basis. In each case, the required calculation process set out in subsection 5 (1) paragraphs 2 to 8 in the D.C.A. and described in Chapter 4, was followed in determining D.C.-eligible costs. The nature of the capital projects and timing identified in the Chapter reflects Council’s current intention. Over time, however, Township projects and Council priorities change and accordingly, Council’s intentions may alter and different capital projects (and timing) may be required to meet the need for services required by new growth.
5.2 Service Levels and 10-Year Capital Costs for D.C. Calculation This section evaluates the development-related capital requirements for all of the “softer” services over a 10-year planning period. Each service component is evaluated on two format sheets: the average historical 10-year level of service calculation (see Appendix B), which “caps” the D.C. amounts; and, the infrastructure cost calculation, which determines the potential D.C. recoverable cost.
5.2.1 Parks and Recreation The Township currently has 122.86 acres of parkland within its jurisdiction consisting of various sized parks. The Township has sustained the current level of service over the historical 10-year period (2009 to 2018), with an average of 4.2 acres of parkland and 2 parkland amenities items per 1,000 population. Including parkland and parkland amenities (e.g. ball diamonds, playground equipment, soccer fields, etc.), the level of service provided is approximately $417 per capita. When applied over the forecast period, this average level of service translates into a D.C.-eligible amount of $803,585. With respect to recreation facilities, there are currently five facilities provided by the Township, in addition to the Frontenac Community Arena which is shared with Central
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. H:\South Frontenac\2019 DC\Report\Development Charges Report - Final.docx
PAGE 5-2
Page 100 of 295
Frontenac. These six facilities provide a total of 26,685 sq.ft. of space. The average historical level of service for the previous ten years has been approximately 0.91 sq.ft. of space per capita or an investment of $233 per capita. The Township also provides for a Zamboni at the Frontenac Community Arena (of which South Frontenac is responsible for 59% of the cost). This provides a service standard of $4/per capita. Based on these service standards, the Township would be eligible to collect $456,000 from D.C.s. The total D.C. eligible amount for parks and recreation over the forecast period is $1,259,585. The Township has provided for the need for additional parkland development and recreation facility space. The needs include items such as a new splash pad, skateboard park, as well as additional indoor recreation space. The growth-related cost of these projects is $1,475,000. A deduction has been made in the amount of $216,287 to account for the reserve fund balance, resulting in a net D.C. amount of $1,111,213, after the mandatory 10% deduction. As the predominant users of parks and recreation tend to be residents of the Township, the forecast growth-related costs have been allocated 95% to residential and 5% to non-residential.

5.2.2 Police and Other Facilities The Township of South Frontenac has one O.P.P. Station at 9,396 sq.ft. within its jurisdiction. Other facilities include the Town Hall, Princess Anne Sharing Centre and the Verona Medical Centre. These facilities provide for an average historical level of service of 0.62 sq.ft. per capita or an investment of $166 per capita. Based on this service standard, the Township would be eligible to collect $319,485 from D.C.s for facility space. The Township has provided for the need for upgrades/enhancements to police facility space as well as a Town Hall expansion. The growth-related cost of these projects is $325,000 which has been included in the D.C. calculation. A deduction of $146,067 has been made to account for the existing reserve fund balance. The Police facility represents approximately 50% of the service standard and as this is a service that does not require the 10% mandatory deduction, a 5% deduction has been taken to account for the facility space that is not attributable to police. Therefore, the net growth capital cost after the 5% deduction is $162,683 and has been included in the D.C. These costs have been allocated 91% residential and 9% non-residential based on the incremental growth in population to employment for the 10-year forecast period.

5.2.3 Library Services The Township provides three library facilities which total 5,950 sq.ft. in library space. Over the past ten years, the average level of service was 0.18 sq.ft. of space per capita or an investment of $51 per capita. Based on the service standard over the past ten years, the Township would be eligible to collect a total of $97,879 from D.C.s for library services. Based on the projected growth over the 10-year forecast period, the Township has identified the need for additional library space to service growth. As the exact locations and nature of this facility space has not yet been identified a provision of $160,000 has been included in the D.C. A deduction of $64,332 has been made to account for the existing reserve fund balance leading to an amount of $79,668, after the 10% mandatory deduction, which has been included in the D.C. calculation. While library usage is predominately residential based, there is some use of the facilities by non-residential users, for the purpose of research. To acknowledge this use, the growth-related capital costs have been allocated 95% residential and 5% nonresidential.

5.2.4 Community Based Studies The D.C.A. permits the inclusion of studies undertaken to facilitate the completion of the Township’s capital works program. The Township has made provision for the inclusion of new studies undertaken to facilitate this D.C. process, as well as other studies which benefit growth (in whole or in part). The list of studies related to recreation, culture and planning includes such studies as the following: •
Growth Management Study;
• •
Official Plan; and Recreation Master Plan.
The cost of these studies is $330,000, of which $45,000 is attributable to existing benefit. The net growth-related capital cost, after the mandatory 10% deduction, is $256,500 and has been included in the D.C. These costs have been allocated 91% residential and 9% non-residential based on the incremental growth in population to employment for the 10-year forecast period.

5.2.5 Engineering Services – Studies In addition to the studies identified in Section 5.2.4, studies related to “hard” services as well as the D.C. study have been included in the calculation. The list of studies related to these items includes the following: • •
Transportation Master Plan; Firehall Study; and
•
Development Charges Studies.
The cost of these studies is $160,000, of which $12,500 is attributable to existing benefit. A further deduction of $39,402 has been made to account for the existing reserve fund balance. The net growth-related capital cost, after the mandatory 10% deduction, is $98,598 and has been included in the D.C. These costs have been allocated 91% residential and 9% non-residential based on the incremental growth in population to employment for the 10-year forecast period.

5.3 Service Levels and 15-Year Capital Costs for South Frontenac’s D.C. Calculation This section evaluates the development-related capital requirements for those services with 15-year capital costs.
5.3.1 Services Related to a Highway – Roads, Bridges, Structures, Streetlighting and Traffic Signals South Frontenac owns and maintains 787 km of local and arterial roads. This provides an average level of investment of $12,179 per capita, resulting in a D.C.-eligible recovery amount of approximately $33.7 million over the 15-year forecast period. The Township also has 61 culverts, arches, beams and related infrastructure to support roads throughout the Township which equates to $1,003 per capita and a D.C.recoverable amount of approximately $2.78 million over the 15-year forecast period. Further, the Township provides 494 streetlights and traffic signals, which equate to an average level of investment of $82 per capita, and a D.C.-recoverable amount of $227,171 over the 15-year forecast period. In total the D.C.-recoverable amount for Services Related to a Highway – Roads, equal $36,700,382. The Township has identified $12,000,000 of future growth-related capital related to roads, bridges and structures. The capital projects forecasted include various works related to enhancing capacity, buildings sidewalks, improving shoulders and adding cycling facilities. A deduction for the existing reserve fund balance of $1,934,664 has been made resulting in a D.C.-eligible amount of $10,065,336 to be recovered over the current forecast period (2019 to 2033). The capital costs are shared 91%/9% between residential and non-residential based on the population to employment ratio over the 15-year forecast period.

5.3.2 Services Related to a Highway - Public Works Facilities, Fleet & Equipment The Township operates their Public Works service out of a number of facilities. The facilities provide 111,899 sq.ft. of building area, providing for an average level of service of 3.22 sq.ft. per capita or $423 per capita. This level of service provides the Township with a maximum D.C.-eligible amount for recovery over the 15-year forecast period of $1,169,279. A renovation and expansion to the Keely Road Administrative Building has been identified at a gross cost of $925,000. A deduction of $489,830 has been made to account for the benefit to existing development resulting in a net amount of $435,170 included in the D.C. The Public Works Department has a variety of vehicles and major equipment totalling approximately $9.67 million. The inventory provides for a per capita standard of $338. Over the forecast period, the D.C.-eligible amount for vehicles and equipment is $935,882. Additional vehicle and equipment items have been identified for the forecast period, amounting to $900,000 of growth-related capital which has been included in the D.C. calculation. The residential/non-residential capital cost allocation for facilities and fleet is based on a 91%/9% split which is based on the incremental growth in population to employment for the 15-year forecast period.

5.3.3 Fire Protection Services South Frontenac currently operates its fire services from 28,786 sq.ft. of facility space, providing for a per capita average level of service of 0.91 sq.ft. per capita or $208 per capita. This level of service provides the Township with a maximum D.C.-eligible amount for recovery over the forecast period of $576,587. The fire department has a current inventory of 32 vehicles. The total D.C.-eligible amount calculated for fire vehicles over the forecast period is $993,962, based on a standard of $359 per capita. The fire department provides 282 items of equipment and gear for the use in fire services. This results in a calculated average level of service for the historical 10-year period of $47 per capita, providing for a D.C.-eligible amount over the forecast period of $130,519 for small equipment and gear. The total maximum D.C.-eligible amount over the forecast period for fire services is $1,701,068. The Township has identified the need for additional facility space. This includes renovating and expanding existing stations as well as the development of a fire headquarters. This facility has been identified to include a large training room, office space and a boardroom. A provision for the cost of these facilities has been included in the D.C. at an amount of $1,615,000. The need for two additional SUV’s has also been identified at a gross cost of $90,000. A deduction of $5,400 has been made to account for the existing reserve fund balance resulting in an amount of $1,699,600 to be included in the D.C. calculations. These costs are shared between residential and non-residential based on the population to employment ratio over the forecast period, resulting in 91% being allocated to residential development and 9% being allocated to non-residential development.

Chapter 6 D.C. Calculation
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. H:\South Frontenac\2019 DC\Report\Development Charges Report - Final.docx
Page 118 of 295
- D.C. Calculation Table 6-1 calculates the proposed uniform D.C. to be imposed on anticipated development in the Township for Township-wide services over a 15-year planning horizon. Table 6-2 calculates the proposed uniform D.C. to be imposed on anticipated development in the Township for Township-wide services over a 10-year planning horizon The calculation for residential development is generated on a per capita basis and is based upon five forms of housing types (singles and semi-detached, apartments 2+ bedrooms, apartments bachelor and 1 bedroom, all other multiples and special care/special dwelling units). The non-residential D.C. has been calculated on a per sq.ft. of gross floor area basis for all types of non-residential development (industrial, commercial and institutional). The D.C.-eligible costs for each service component were developed in Chapter 5 for all Township services, based on their proposed capital programs. For the residential calculations, the total cost is divided by the “gross” (new resident) population to determine the per capita amount. The eligible D.C. cost calculations set out in Chapter 5 are based on the net anticipated population increase (the forecast new unit population less the anticipated decline in existing units). The cost per capita is then multiplied by the average occupancy of the new units (Appendix A, Schedule 5) to calculate the charge in Tables 6-1 and 6-2. With respect to non-residential development, the total costs in the uniform charge allocated to non-residential development (based on need for service) have been divided by the anticipated development over the planning period to calculate a cost per sq.ft. of gross floor area. Table 6-3 summarizes the total D.C. that is applicable for municipal-wide services and Table 6-4 summarizes the gross capital expenditures and sources of revenue for works to be undertaken during the 5-year life of the by-law.

Chapter 7 D.C. Policy Recommendations and D.C. By-law Rules
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. H:\South Frontenac\2019 DC\Report\Development Charges Report - Final.docx
Page 123 of 295
- D.C. Policy Recommendations and D.C. By-law Rules 7.1 Introduction Subsection 5 (1) 9 states that rules must be developed: “…to determine if a development charge is payable in any particular case and to determine the amount of the charge, subject to the limitations set out in subsection 6.” Paragraph 10 of the section goes on to state that the rules may provide for exemptions, phasing in and/or indexing of D.C.s. Subsection 5 (6) establishes the following restrictions on the rules: •
the total of all D.C.s that would be imposed on anticipated development must not exceed the capital costs determined under 5(1) 2-8 for all services involved;
•
if the rules expressly identify a type of development, they must not provide for it to pay D.C.s that exceed the capital costs that arise from the increase in the need for service for that type of development; however, this requirement does not relate to any particular development; and if the rules provide for a type of development to have a lower D.C. than is allowed, the rules for determining D.C.s may not provide for any resulting shortfall to be made up via other development.
•
With respect to “the rules,” section 6 states that a D.C. by-law must expressly address the matters referred to above re subsection 5 (1) paragraphs 9 and 10, as well as how the rules apply to the redevelopment of land. The rules provided are based on the Township’s existing policies; however, there are items under consideration at this time and these may be refined prior to adoption of the by-law.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. H:\South Frontenac\2019 DC\Report\Development Charges Report - Final.docx
PAGE 7-1
Page 124 of 295
7.2 D.C. By-law Structure It is recommended that: •
the Township uses a uniform Township-wide D.C. calculation for all municipal services; and
•
one municipal D.C. by-law be used for all services.
7.3 D.C. By-law Rules The following subsections set out the recommended rules governing the calculation, payment and collection of D.C.s in accordance with section 6 of the D.C.A. It is recommended that the following sections provide the basis for the D.C.s.:
7.3.1 Payment in any Particular Case In accordance with the D.C.A., subsection 2 (2), a D.C. be calculated, payable and collected where the development requires one or more of the following: “(a) the passing of a zoning by-law or of an amendment to a zoning bylaw under section 34 of the Planning Act; (b)
the approval of a minor variance under section 45 of the Planning Act;
(c)
a conveyance of land to which a by-law passed under subsection 50 (7) of the Planning Act applies;
(d)
the approval of a plan of subdivision under section 51 of the Planning Act;
(e)
a consent under section 53 of the Planning Act;
(f)
the approval of a description under section 9 of the Condominium Act, 1998; or
(g)
the issuing of a permit under the Building Code Act, 1992 in relation to a building or structure.”
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. H:\South Frontenac\2019 DC\Report\Development Charges Report - Final.docx
PAGE 7-2
Page 125 of 295
7.3.2 Determination of the Amount of the Charge The following conventions be adopted:
- Costs allocated to residential uses will be assigned to different types of residential units based on the average occupancy for each housing type constructed during the previous decade. Costs allocated to non-residential uses will be assigned based on the amount of square feet of gross floor area constructed for eligible uses (i.e. industrial, commercial and institutional).
- Costs allocated to residential and non-residential uses are based upon a number of conventions, as may be suited to each municipal circumstance, e.g. •
for engineering services – studies, community based studies, and police and other facilities the costs have been based on a population vs. employment growth ratio (91%/9%) for residential and non-residential, respectively) over the 10-year forecast period;
•
for parks and recreation and library services, a 5% non-residential attribution has been made to recognize use by the non-residential sector; and
•
for services related to a highway, public works facilities, fleet and equipment, and fire protection services, a 91% residential/9% nonresidential attribution has been made based on a population vs. employment growth ratio over the 15-year forecast period.
7.3.3 Application to Redevelopment of Land (Demolition and Conversion) If a development involves the demolition of and replacement of a building or structure on the same site, or the conversion from one principal use to another, the developer shall be allowed a credit equivalent to:
- the number of dwelling units demolished/converted multiplied by the applicable residential D.C. in place at the time the D.C. is payable; and/or
- the gross floor area of the building demolished/converted multiplied by the current non-residential D.C. in place at the time the D.C. is payable.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. H:\South Frontenac\2019 DC\Report\Development Charges Report - Final.docx
PAGE 7-3
Page 126 of 295
The demolition credit is allowed only if the land was improved by occupied structures and if the demolition permit related to the site was issued less than 5 years prior to the issuance of a building permit. The credit can, in no case, exceed the amount of D.C.s that would otherwise be payable.
7.3.4 Exemptions (full or partial) a) Statutory exemptions: •
industrial building additions of up to and including 50% of the existing gross floor area (defined in O.Reg. 82/98, section 1) of the building; for industrial building additions which exceed 50% of the existing gross floor area, only the portion of the addition in excess of 50% is subject to D.C.s (subsection 4 (3) of the D.C.A.);
•
buildings or structures owned by and used for the purposes of any municipality, local board or Board of Education (section 3);
•
residential development that results only in the enlargement of an existing dwelling unit, or that results only in the creation of up to two additional dwelling units (based on prescribed limits set out in section 2 of O.Reg. 82/98).
b) Non-statutory exemptions: •
• •
Land that is owned by and used for the purposes of a place of worship, a churchyard, cemetery, or burial ground exempt from taxation under section 3 of the Assessment Act, R.S.O., 1990; Bona fide agricultural use/farm building; and Second residential units located in separate detached accessory structures.
7.3.5 Phasing in No provisions for phasing in the D.C. are provided in the D.C. by-law.
7.3.6 Timing of Collection A D.C. that is applicable under section 5 of the D.C.A. shall be calculated and payable:
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. H:\South Frontenac\2019 DC\Report\Development Charges Report - Final.docx
PAGE 7-4
Page 127 of 295
•
•
where a permit is required under the Building Code Act in relation to a building or structure, the owner shall pay the D.C. prior to the issuance of a permit of prior to the commencement of development or redevelopment as the case may be; and despite the above, Council, from time to time and at any time, may enter into agreements providing for all or any part of a D.C. to be paid before or after it would otherwise be payable.
7.3.7 Indexing Indexing of the D.C.s shall be implemented on a mandatory basis annually commencing on the first anniversary date of this by-law and each anniversary date thereafter, in accordance with the Statistics Canada Quarterly, Non-Residential Building Construction Price Index (Table 18-10-0135-01)1 for the most recent year-over-year period.
7.3.8 The Applicable Areas The charges developed herein provide for uniform charges within the Township as follows: •
all municipal-wide services – the full residential and non-residential charge will be imposed on all lands within the Township.
7.4 Other D.C. By-law Provisions It is recommended that:
7.4.1 Categories of Services for Reserve Fund and Credit Purposes The Township’s D.C. collections are currently reserved in six separate reserve funds: services related to a highway, fire protection services, police and other facilities, parks and recreation, library services and administration. It is recommended that the administration reserve fund be renamed Engineering Services – Studies and that a new
1 O.Reg. 82/98 referenced “The Statistics Canada Quarterly, Construction Price
Statistics, catalogue number 62-007” as the index source. Since implementation, Statistics Canada has modified this index twice and the above-noted index is the most current. The draft by-law provided herein refers to O.Reg. 82/98 to ensure traceability should this index continue to be modified over time.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. H:\South Frontenac\2019 DC\Report\Development Charges Report - Final.docx
PAGE 7-5
Page 128 of 295
reserve fund be established for the Community Based Studies. Appendix D outlines the reserve fund policies that the Township is required to follow as per the D.C.A.
7.4.2 By-law In-force Date A by-law under the D.C.A. comes into force on the day after which the by-law is passed by Council.
7.4.3 Minimum Interest Rate Paid on Refunds and Charged for InterReserve Fund Borrowing The minimum interest rate is the Bank of Canada rate on the day on which the by-law comes into force (as per section 11 of O.Reg. 82/98).
7.4.4 Area Rating As noted earlier, Bill 73 has introduced two new sections where Council must consider the use of area specific charges:
- Section 2 (9) of the Act now requires a municipality to implement area-specific D.C.s for either specific services which are prescribed and/or for specific municipalities which are to be regulated (note that at this time, no municipalities or services are prescribed by the Regulations).
- Section 10 (2) c.1 of the D.C.A. requires that “the development charges background study shall include consideration of the use of more than one development charge by-law to reflect different needs for services in different areas.” In regard to the first item, there are no services or specific municipalities identified in the regulations which must be area-rated. The second item requires Council to consider the use of area-rating. At present, the Township’s by-law does not provide for area-rating. All Township services are recovered based on a uniform, Township-wide basis. There have been several reasons why they have not been imposed including:
- All Township services, with the exception of water, wastewater and stormwater, require that the average 10-year service standard be calculated. This average
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. H:\South Frontenac\2019 DC\Report\Development Charges Report - Final.docx
PAGE 7-6
Page 129 of 295
service standard multiplied by growth in the Township, establishes an upper ceiling on the amount of funds which can be collected from all developing landowners. Section 4 (4) of O.Reg. 82/98 provides that “…if a development charge by-law applies to a part of the municipality, the level of service and average level of service cannot exceed that which would be determined if the bylaw applied to the whole municipality.” Put in layman terms, the average service standard multiplied by the growth within the specific area, would establish an area specific ceiling which would significantly reduce the total revenue recoverable for the Township hence potentially resulting in D.C. revenue shortfalls and impacts on property taxes. 2. Extending on item 1, attempting to impose an area charge potentially causes equity issues in transitioning from a Township-wide approach to an area specific approach. For example, if all services were now built (and funded) within Area A (which is 75% built out) and this was funded with some revenues from Areas B and C, moving to an area rating approach would see Area A contribute no funds to the costs of services in Areas B and C. The development charges would be lower in Area A (as all services are now funded) and higher in Areas B and C. As well, funding shortfalls may then potentially encourage the municipality to provide less services to Areas B and C due to reduced revenue. 3. Many services which are provided (roads, parks, recreation facilities, library) are not restricted to one specific area and are often used by all residents. For example, arenas located in different parts of the Township will be used by residents from all areas depending on the programing of the facility (i.e. a public skate is available each night, but at a different arena; hence usage of any one facility at any given time is based on programing availability). For the reasons noted above, it is recommended that Council continue the D.C. approach to calculate the charges on a uniform Township-wide basis.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. H:\South Frontenac\2019 DC\Report\Development Charges Report - Final.docx
PAGE 7-7
Page 130 of 295
7.5 Other Recommendations It is recommended that Council: “Whenever appropriate, request that grants, subsidies and other contributions be clearly designated by the donor as being to the benefit of existing development or new development, as applicable;” “Adopt the assumptions contained herein as an ‘anticipation’ with respect to capital grants, subsidies and other contributions;” “Continue the D.C. approach to calculate the charges on a uniform Municipalwide basis for all services;” “Approve the capital project listing set out in Chapter 5 of the D.C.s Background Study dated May 31, 2019, subject to further annual review during the capital budget process;” “Approve the D.C.s Background Study dated May 31, 2019, as amended (if applicable);” “Determine that no further public meeting is required;” and “Approve the D.C. By-law as set out in Appendix G.”

- By-law Implementation 8.1
Public Consultation Process
8.1.1 Introduction This chapter addresses the mandatory, formal public consultation process (section 8.1.2), as well as the optional, informal consultation process (section 8.1.3). The latter is designed to seek the co-operation and participation of those involved, in order to produce the most suitable policy. Section 8.1.4 addresses the anticipated impact of the D.C. on development from a generic viewpoint.
8.1.2 Public Meeting of Council Section 12 of the D.C.A. indicates that before passing a D.C. by-law, Council must hold at least one public meeting, giving at least 20 clear days’ notice thereof, in accordance with the Regulation. Council must also ensure that the proposed by-law and background report are made available to the public at least two weeks prior to the (first) meeting. Any person who attends such a meeting may make representations related to the proposed by-law. If a proposed by-law is changed following such a meeting, Council must determine whether a further meeting (under this section) is necessary (i.e. if the proposed by-law which is proposed for adoption has been changed in any respect, Council should formally consider whether an additional public meeting is required, incorporating this determination as part of the final by-law or associated resolution. It is noted that Council’s decision, once made, is final and not subject to review by a Court or the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (L.P.A.T.) (formerly the Ontario Municipal Board (O.M.B.)).
8.1.3 Other Consultation Activity There are three broad groupings of the public who are generally the most concerned with Township D.C. policy:
- The first grouping is the residential development community, consisting of land developers and builders, who are typically responsible for generating the majority
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. H:\South Frontenac\2019 DC\Report\Development Charges Report - Final.docx
PAGE 8-1
Page 133 of 295
of the D.C. revenues. Others, such as realtors, are directly impacted by D.C. policy. They are, therefore, potentially interested in all aspects of the charge, particularly the quantum by unit type, projects to be funded by the D.C. and the timing thereof, and Township policy with respect to development agreements, D.C. credits and front-ending requirements. 2. The second public grouping embraces the public at large and includes taxpayer coalition groups and others interested in public policy. 3. The third grouping is the industrial/commercial/institutional development sector, consisting of land developers and major owners or organizations with significant construction plans, such as hotels, entertainment complexes, shopping centres, offices, industrial buildings and institutions. Also involved are organizations such as Industry Associations, the Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Trade and the Economic Development Agencies, who are all potentially interested in Township D.C. policy. Their primary concern is frequently with the quantum of the charge, gross floor area exclusions such as basements, mechanical or indoor parking areas, or exemptions and phase-in or capping provisions in order to moderate the impact.
8.2 Anticipated Impact of the Charge on Development The establishment of sound D.C. policy often requires the achievement of an acceptable balance between two competing realities. The first is that high nonresidential D.C.s can, to some degree, represent a barrier to increased economic activity and sustained industrial/commercial growth, particularly for capital intensive uses. Also, in many cases, increased residential D.C.s can ultimately be expected to be recovered via higher housing prices and can impact project feasibility in some cases (e.g. rental apartments). On the other hand, D.C.s or other Township capital funding sources need to be obtained in order to help ensure that the necessary infrastructure and amenities are installed. The timely installation of such works is a key initiative in providing adequate service levels and in facilitating strong economic growth, investment and wealth generation.

8.3 Implementation Requirements 8.3.1 Introduction Once the Township has calculated the charge, prepared the complete background study, carried out the public process and passed a new by-law, the emphasis shifts to implementation matters. These include notices, potential appeals and complaints, credits, front-ending agreements, subdivision agreement conditions and finally the collection of revenues and funding of projects. The sections which follow overview the requirements in each case.
8.3.2 Notice of Passage In accordance with section 13 of the D.C.A., when a D.C. by-law is passed, the Township clerk shall give written notice of the passing and of the last day for appealing the by-law (the day that is 40 days after the day it was passed). Such notice must be given no later than 20 days after the day the by-law is passed (i.e. as of the day of newspaper publication or the mailing of the notice). Section 10 of O.Reg. 82/98 further defines the notice requirements which are summarized as follows: •
notice may be given by publication in a newspaper which is (in the Clerk’s opinion) of sufficient circulation to give the public reasonable notice, or by personal service, fax or mail to every owner of land in the area to which the bylaw relates;
• •
subsection 10 (4) lists the persons/organizations who must be given notice; and subsection 10 (5) lists the eight items which the notice must cover.
8.3.3 By-law Pamphlet In addition to the “notice” information, the Township must prepare a “pamphlet” explaining each D.C. by-law in force, setting out: •
a description of the general purpose of the D.C.s;
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. H:\South Frontenac\2019 DC\Report\Development Charges Report - Final.docx
PAGE 8-3
Page 135 of 295
•
the “rules” for determining if a charge is payable in a particular case and for determining the amount of the charge;
• •
the services to which the D.C.s relate; and a description of the general purpose of the Treasurer’s statement and where it may be received by the public.
Where a by-law is not appealed to the L.P.A.T., the pamphlet must be readied within 60 days after the by-law comes into force. Later dates apply to appealed by-laws. The Township must give one copy of the most recent pamphlet without charge, to any person who requests one.
8.3.4 Appeals Sections 13 to 19 of the D.C.A. set out the requirements relative to making and processing a D.C. by-law appeal and L.P.A.T. Hearing in response to an appeal. Any person or organization may appeal a D.C. by-law to the L.P.A.T. by filing a notice of appeal with the Township clerk, setting out the objection to the by-law and the reasons supporting the objection. This must be done by the last day for appealing the by-law, which is 40 days after the by-law is passed. The Township is carrying out a public consultation process, in order to address the issues that come forward as part of that process, thereby avoiding or reducing the need for an appeal to be made.
8.3.5 Complaints A person required to pay a D.C., or his agent, may complain to the Township Council imposing the charge that: • •
the amount of the charge was incorrectly determined; the reduction to be used against the D.C. was incorrectly determined; or
•
there was an error in the application of the D.C.
Sections 20 to 25 of the D.C.A. set out the requirements that exist, including the fact that a complaint may not be made later than 90 days after a D.C. (or any part of it) is payable. A complainant may appeal the decision of Township Council to the L.P.A.T.

Page 136 of 295
8.3.6 Credits Sections 38 to 41 of the D.C.A. set out a number of credit requirements, which apply where a Township agrees to allow a person to perform work in the future that relates to a service in the D.C. by-law. These credits would be used to reduce the amount of D.C.s to be paid. The value of the credit is limited to the reasonable cost of the work which does not exceed the average level of service. The credit applies only to the service to which the work relates, unless the Township agrees to expand the credit to other services for which a D.C. is payable.
8.3.7 Front-Ending Agreements The Township and one or more landowners may enter into a front-ending agreement which provides for the costs of a project which will benefit an area in the Township to which the D.C. by-law applies. Such an agreement can provide for the costs to be borne by one or more parties to the agreement who are, in turn, reimbursed in future by persons who develop land defined in the agreement. Part III of the D.C.A. (sections 44 to 58) addresses front-ending agreements and removes some of the obstacles to their use which were contained in the D.C.A., 1989. Accordingly, the Township assesses whether this mechanism is appropriate for its use, as part of funding projects prior to Township funds being available.
8.3.8 Severance and Subdivision Agreement Conditions Section 59 of the D.C.A. prevents a municipality from imposing directly or indirectly, a charge related to development or a requirement to construct a service related to development, by way of a condition or agreement under section 51 or section 53 of the Planning Act, except for: •
•
“local services, related to a plan of subdivision or within the area to which the plan relates, to be installed or paid for by the owner as a condition of approval under section 51 of the Planning Act;” and “local services to be installed or paid for by the owner as a condition of approval under section 53 of the Planning Act.”

PAGE 8-5
Page 137 of 295
It is also noted that subsection 59 (4) of the D.C.A. requires that the municipal approval authority for a draft plan of subdivision under subsection 51 (31) of the Planning Act, use its power to impose conditions to ensure that the first purchaser of newly subdivided land is informed of all the D.C.s related to the development, at the time the land is transferred. In this regard, if the Township in question is a commenting agency, in order to comply with subsection 59 (4) of the D.C.A. it would need to provide to the approval authority, information regarding the applicable Township D.C.s related to the site. If the Township is an approval authority for the purposes of section 51 of the Planning Act, it would be responsible to ensure that it collects information from all entities which can impose a D.C. The most effective way to ensure that purchasers are aware of this condition would be to require it as a provision in a registered subdivision agreement, so that any purchaser of the property would be aware of the charges at the time the title was searched prior to closing a transaction conveying the lands.

Appendix C: Long-Term Capital and Operating Cost Examination Township of South Frontenac Annual Capital and Operating Cost Impact As a requirement of the D.C.A. under subsection 10 (2) (c), an analysis must be undertaken to assess the long-term capital and operating cost impacts for the capital infrastructure projects identified within the D.C. As part of this analysis, it was deemed necessary to isolate the incremental operating expenditures directly associated with these capital projects, factor in cost saving attributable to economies of scale or cost sharing where applicable and prorate the cost on a per unit basis (i.e. sq.ft. of building space, per vehicle, etc.). This was undertaken through a review of the Township’s approved 2017 Financial Information Return (F.I.R.). In addition to the operational impacts, over time the initial capital projects will require replacement. This replacement of capital is often referred to as life cycle cost. By definition, life cycle costs are all the costs which are incurred during the life of a physical asset, from the time its acquisition is first considered, to the time it is taken out of service for disposal or redeployment. The method selected for life cycle costing is the sinking fund method which provides that money will be contributed annually and invested, so that those funds will grow over time to equal the amount required for future replacement. The following factors were utilized to calculate the annual replacement cost of the capital projects (annual contribution = factor X capital asset cost) and are based on an annual growth rate of 2% (net of inflation) over the average useful life of the asset:

Table C-1 depicts the annual operating impact resulting from the proposed gross capital projects at the time they are all in place. It is important to note that, while Township

program expenditures will increase with growth in population, the costs associated with the new infrastructure (i.e. facilities) would be delayed until the time these works are in place.

Appendix D: D.C. Reserve Fund Policy D.1
Legislative Requirements
The Development Charges Act, 1997 (D.C.A.) requires development charge collections (and associated interest) to be placed in separate reserve funds. Sections 33 through 36 of the Act provide the following regarding reserve fund establishment and use: •
A municipality shall establish a reserve fund for each service to which the D.C. by-law relates; subsection 7 (1), however, allows services to be grouped into categories of services for reserve fund (and credit) purposes, although only 100% eligible and 90% eligible services may be combined (minimum of two reserve funds).
•
The municipality shall pay each development charge it collects into a reserve fund or funds to which the charge relates.
•
The money in a reserve fund shall be spent only for the “capital costs” determined through the legislated calculation process (as per subsection 5 (1) 28).
•
Money may be borrowed from the fund but must be paid back with interest (O.Reg. 82/98, subsection 11 (1) defines this as Bank of Canada rate either on the day the by-law comes into force or, if specified in the by-law, the first business day of each quarter). D.C. reserve funds may not be consolidated with other municipal reserve funds for investment purposes and may only be as an interim financing source for capital undertakings for which development charges may be spent (section 37).

Annually, the Treasurer of the municipality is required to provide Council with a financial statement related to the D.C. by-law(s) and reserve funds. This statement must be made available to the public and may be requested to be forwarded to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

Appendix E: Local Service Policy This Appendix sets out the Township’s General Policy Guidelines on Development Charges (D.C.) and local service funding for Services Related to a Highway, Stormwater Management, Parkland Development, and Underground Linear Services. The guidelines outlines, in general terms, the nature of engineered infrastructure that is included in the study as a development charge project, versus infrastructure that is considered as a local service, to be completed separately by landowners, pursuant to a development agreement. The following policy guidelines are general principles by which staff will be guided in considering development applications. However, each application will be considered, in the context of these policy guidelines as subsection 59(2) of the Development Charges Act, 1997, on its own merits having regard to, among other factors, the nature, type and location of the development and any existing and proposed development in the surrounding area, as well as the location and type of services required and their relationship to the proposed development and to existing and proposed development in the area.
E-1 Services Related to a Highway A highway and services related to a highway are intended for the transportation of people and goods via many different modes including, but not limited to passenger automobiles, commercial vehicles, transit vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. The highway shall consist of all land and associated infrastructure built to support (or service) this movement of people and goods regardless of the mode of transportation employed. A complete street is the concept whereby a highway is planned, designed, operated and maintained to enable pedestrians, cyclists, public transit users and motorists to safely and comfortably be moved, thereby allowing for the efficient movement of persons and goods. The associated infrastructure to achieve this concept shall include, but is not limited to: road pavement structure and curbs; grade separation/bridge structures (for any vehicles, railways and/or pedestrians); grading, drainage and retaining wall features; culvert structures; storm water drainage systems; utilities; traffic control systems; signage; gateway features; street furniture; active transportation facilities (e.g. sidewalks, bike lanes, multi-use trails which interconnect the transportation network,

Appendix F Asset Management Plan

Page 191 of 295
Appendix F: Asset Management Plan The recent changes to the D.C.A. (new subsection 10 (2) (c.2)) require that the background study must include an asset management plan (A.M.P.) related to new infrastructure. Section 10 (3) of the D.C.A. provides: “The asset management plan shall, (a)
deal with all assets whose capital costs are proposed to be funded under the development charge by-law;
(b)
demonstrate that all the assets mentioned in clause (a) are financially sustainable over their full life cycle;
(c)
contain any other information that is prescribed; and
(d)
be prepared in the prescribed manner.”
In regard to the above, section 8 of the Regulations was amended to include subsections (2), (3) and (4) which set out for specific detailed requirements for transit (only). For all services except transit, there are no prescribed requirements at this time thus requiring the municipality to define the approach to include within the background study. At a broad level, the A.M.P. provides for the long-term investment in an asset over its entire useful life along with the funding. The schematic below identifies the costs for an asset through its entire lifecycle. For growth-related works, the majority of capital costs will be funded by the D.C. Non-growth-related expenditures will then be funded from non-D.C. revenues as noted below. During the useful life of the asset, there will be minor maintenance costs to extend the life of the asset along with additional program related expenditures to provide the full services to the residents. At the end of the life of the asset, it will be replaced by non-D.C. financing sources. It should be noted that with the recent passing of the Infrastructure for Jobs and Prosperity Act (I.J.P.A.) municipalities are now required to complete A.M.P.s, based on certain criteria, which are to be completed by 2021 for core municipal services and 2023 for all other services. The amendments to the D.C.A. do not require municipalities to complete these A.M.P.s (required under I.J.P.A.) for the D.C. background study, rather the D.C.A. requires that the D.C. background study include information to show the assets to be funded by the D.C. are sustainable over their full lifecycle.

In 2012, the Province developed Building Together: Guide for municipal asset management plans which outlines the key elements for an A.M.P., as follows: State of local infrastructure: asset types, quantities, age, condition, financial accounting valuation and replacement cost valuation. Desired levels of service: defines levels of service through performance measures and discusses any external trends or issues that may affect expected levels of service or the municipality’s ability to meet them (for example, new accessibility standards, climate change impacts). Asset management strategy: the asset management strategy is the set of planned actions that will seek to generate the desired levels of service in a sustainable way, while managing risk, at the lowest lifecycle cost. Financing strategy: having a financial plan is critical for putting an A.M.P. into action. By having a strong financial plan, municipalities can also demonstrate that they have
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. H:\South Frontenac\2019 DC\Report\Development Charges Report - Final.docx
PAGE F-3
Page 193 of 295
made a concerted effort to integrate the A.M.P. with financial planning and municipal budgeting and are making full use of all available infrastructure financing tools. Commensurate with the above, the Township prepared an A.M.P. in 2016 for its existing assets however, did not take into account future growth-related assets. As a result, the asset management requirement for the D.C. must be undertaken in the absence of this information. In recognition to the schematic above, the following table (presented in 2019 $) has been developed to provide the annualized expenditures and revenues associated with new growth. Note that the D.C.A. does not require an analysis of the non-D.C. capital needs or their associated operating costs so these are omitted from the table below. As well, as all capital costs included in the D.C.-eligible capital costs are not included in the Township’s A.M.P., the present infrastructure gap and associated funding plan have not been considered at this time. Hence the following does not represent a fiscal impact assessment (including future tax/rate increases) but provides insight into the potential affordability of the new assets:
- The non-D.C. recoverable portion of the projects which will require financing from municipal financial resources (i.e. taxation, rates, fees, etc.). This amount has been presented on an annual debt charge amount based on 20-year financing.
- Lifecycle costs for the 2019 D.C. capital works have been presented based on a sinking fund basis. The assets have been considered over their estimated useful lives.
- Incremental operating costs for the D.C. services (only) have been included.
- The resultant total annualized expenditures are $2.82 million.
- Consideration was given to the potential new taxation and user fee revenues which will be generated as a result of new growth. These revenues will be available to finance the expenditures above. The new operating revenues are $1.87million. This amount, totalled with the existing operating revenues of $25.30 million, provide annual revenues of $27.16 million by the end of the period.

INFORMATION REPORT TO COUNCIL PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT
AGENDA DATE:
August 6th, 2019
SUBJECT:
Tender No. PW-2019-21 Desert Lake Road Culvert Replacements
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approves the bid of Akman Construction Inc. for the Desert Lake Road Culvert Replacements in the amount of $555,910.55, including the nonrebatable portion of the HST. And That Council approve the expenditure of up to $100,000 from the 2019 Linear Asset Capital Contingency allocation to cover the funding shortfall for construction and consulting costs. BACKGROUND: The existing culverts that run between Holleford Lake and Desert Lake at the Desert Lake Causeway have reached the end of their useful life. Additional works are required to accommodate vehicular parking along the road, install a retaining wall to mitigate conflict between beach users and vehicular traffic, and installing a proper boat launch facility where an existing informal one exists are also included in the scope of this project. Based on engineers estimates provided by our consultant, Greer Galloway Group, an amount of $500,000 inclusive of consultant fees was included in the 2019 Capital Budget. The Tender was prepared and advertised on the Municipal website, on Biddingo, as well as in the local newspaper. This tender closed on Wednesday, July 24th, 2019 and six bids were received. The submissions, in ascending order, are as follows: Contractor
Sub-Total
(Incl. non-rebatable HST)
Akman Construction Inc.
$546,294.67
$555,910.55
Crain’s Construction Ltd.
$569,161.10
$579,179.47
Louis W. Bray Construction Ltd. $623,306.40
$634,277.84
Len Corcoran Excavating Ltd.
$839,747.00
$854,528.23
R.W. Tomlinson Ltd.
$853,210.00
$868,228.20
Gordon Barr Ltd.
$906,600.50
$922,558.48
The submission of the low bidder has been evaluated by the Greer Galloway Group and was found to be accurate and complete. Akman Construction Inc. is a reputable contractor who has completed several high profile projects around Eastern Ontario. For these reasons, and also because their price, with the rebatable HST removed, was $23,268.92 lower than the bid from Crain’s Construction Ltd. The Public Services Department recommends that council approve the submission from Akman Construction Inc., for Tender PW-2019-21, Desert Lake Road Our strength is our community.

INFORMATION REPORT TO COUNCIL PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT Culvert Replacements, in the amount of $555,910.55 inclusive of the NonRebatable HST. FINANCIAL/STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: In 2019 Council approved a contingency allocation of $525,000 in the Linear Asset Capital Budget to offset the cost of any capital works which came in over budget. An amount of $500,000.00 inclusive of consultant fees was approved in the 2019 Capital Budget for the Desert Lake Causeway project. With construction costs of $555,910.55 and engineering costs estimated at $25,000, staff is seeking Council approval to spend up to $100,000 from the Linear Asset Contingency allocation in order to move ahead with the project. The contingency amount will cover $55,910.55 for the construction tender and an estimated $25,000 for consultant fees for contract administration and inspection of this project. Approximately $30,000 has been spent prior to 2019 for the design of this project. The estimated total of this project including design, construction, and inspection is approximately $630,000.

STAFF REPORT
Page 219 of 295
RECREATION DEPARTMENT
While a lesser scope of work involving line painting, some surface repairs and nets was originally contemplated in the 2019 budget, staff feels that the expanded work being proposed will have negligible additional operational and maintenance implications while dramatically improving the experience for users. Canada Court Company was initially engaged by the donors and has provided very competitive pricing based on staff’s experience with other court resurfacing. They are also prepared to perform the work this summer if approved at the August Council meeting. A delay to approval of the work could result in the project being pushed into the fall where a risk of inclement weather could delay the project to the spring of 2020, potentially jeopardizing the donation. For these reasons, staff is recommending sole-source approval by Council.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Total Project Costs: $32,377 +hst
$25,000 (donation) $8,000 (2019 approved Capital)
Since this additional capital work was not budgeted in 2019 and staff is recommending the work be sole-sourced to the Canada Court Company, the Township’s procurement policy requires Council approval of the expenditure.

And that Council support Mr. John Conley as the municipal representative serving as the member at-large. Recommendation Option #2 That the Council of the Township of South Frontenac endorse the nomination of the candidate who receives the most votes as the candidate for the Central Area of the Cataraqui Source Water Protection Committee for the next three years, expiring December 2022. And that Council support Mr. John Conley as the municipal representative serving as the member at-large.

And that Council support the nominee who receives the most votes as the candidate at-large on the Cataraqui Source Water Protection Committee. BACKGROUND: The Cataraqui Source Protection Committee is undergoing a review of appointments to the committee and are looking for input by September 6, 2019 The attachment to the correspondence indicates the breakdown of area’s within the Municipal Sector into the Eastern Area, Central Area, Western Area and a Municipal Representative at-large. Currently there are members named to all sectors with the exception of the Central Area which includes the Township of Frontenac Island, the city of Kingston and the Township of South Frontenac; this position is currently vacant. (Greg Newman, who is the Manager of Policy Planning for the City of Kingston has been the Municipal Representative for the Central Area in the past). There is a need for the Central Area to identify an eligible nominee for this position. The municipalities in the Central Area are being asked to:
- Identify the name, address and contact information for a nominee who is eligible to serve as the area representative, and
- Indicate whether there is support for Mr. Conley, serving as the representative at-large, or if not then, Our strength is our community.
Page 222 of 295
REPORT TO COUNCIL CLERK’S DEPARTMENT 3) Indicate whether there is a nominee for consideration who is eligible to serve as the representative at-large and identify their name, address and contact information. It should also be noted that in accordance with the Ontario Clean Water Act, municipalities are represented by one-third of the voting members of the Source Protection Committee. The Municipal “seats” may be assigned to council members or other persons that represent municipal interests. They must live, work, and/or own or rent land in the study area; however, they may not be a CRCA board member or employee. If Council has an individual whose name they would like to put forth for consideration for the Central representative, Recommendation Option #1 is drafted to insert the name as well as support Mr. John Conley as the representative at-large. If Council wishes to support the nominee for the Central representative who receives the most votes by the members of the Cataraqui Source Protection Authority, as well as support Mr. John Conley as the representative at-large, Recommendation Option # 2 is drafted to address this scenario. If Council wishes to support the nomination of individuals that receive the most votes for both positions, Recommendation Option #3 is drafted to address this scenario. It should be noted that the Township is being asked to either submit or endorse a nominee only, and that all appointments are subject to confirmation by the Cataraqui Source Protection Authority. Councillors not already sitting on the CRCA Board or Township staff are eligible nominees. As an alternative to the options above, Council could direct staff to advertise for citizen interest in serving on the SP Committee; however, with the deadline for submission being September 6 and the next Council meeting agenda deadline being in late August, there would be limited time to advertise and receive expressions of interest. Further, the submission would be for nomination only with no guarantee of appointment. In speaking with John Bolognone, City Clerk, City of Kingston, they will be bringing forward a nomination for a staff member to be considered by the CRCA Source Water Protection Committee to represent the Central Area. For these reasons, staff is recommending Option #2. ATTACHMENTS: Letter from Katrina Furlanetto, Manager, Watershed Planning & Engineering, CRCA. Submitted/approved by: Angela Maddocks, Clerk

RE:
REQUEST FOR INPUT / COUNCIL RESOLUTIONS MUNICIPAL APPOINTMENTS – CATARAQUI SOURCE PROTECTION COMMITTEE
This letter seeks input from your municipality regarding proposed appointments to the Cataraqui Source Protection Committee (‘SP Committee’) by the Cataraqui Source Protection Authority (‘SP Authority’). The appointments are under review, and accordingly we would appreciate reply correspondence by September 6, 2019. Municipal input regarding SP Committee appointments is normally communicated via a resolution of council. More information is provided below. The SP Authority is composed of the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Full Authority Board plus a representative from the Township of Frontenac Islands. The SP Authority is responsible for appointing and maintaining the SP Committee, which guides the development of drinking water source protection technical studies and policies for our area. Established in 2007, the SP Committee successfully completed its initial mandate with the approval of the Cataraqui Source Protection Plan (2014), submission of annual implementation reports, and development of a workplan to determine areas for additional efforts. Over the next few years, the Committee will be working to implement the workplan and ensure successful ongoing implementation of the Source Protection Plan. In accordance with the Ontario Clean Water Act, municipalities are represented by one-third of the voting members on the SP Committee. The municipal ‘seats’ may be assigned to council members or other persons that represent municipal interests. They must live, work and/or own or rent land in the study area; they may not be a CRCA Board member or employee. In 2007, it was agreed that the municipal representatives would be drawn from ‘eastern’, ‘central’, and ‘western’ nomination areas for a total of four (4) representatives from each area plus a representative at-large who represents the interests of all the municipalities. As part of its membership review process, the SP Authority wishes to confirm that local municipalities support the proposed appointments for the next three years, expiring December 2022. Per the attached chart, incumbents are prepared to continue representing the ‘eastern’ and ‘western’ areas, and to serve as the representative at-large. Alternatively, other eligible persons could be nominated for those positions. Owing to a vacancy, there is a need for the central municipalities to nominate a candidate for their area representative.
Page 224 of 295 DWSP Letter dated July 3, 2019 Page 2 of 2
We have the following specific questions for consideration: For municipalities in the eastern nomination area: (1) Please indicate whether there is support for Mr. Raabe, serving as your area representative.

Committee Initiatives
a)
Solid Waste Special Advisor on Recycling and Plastic Waste Eastern Ontario Waste Sector Meeting Hay Bale Wrap Waste Management Review o Collection Tender - age of vehicles, collection on private lanes, 4 days/week, at end of driveways, radio communications, etc o Disposal Site Optimization - see “Vehicle Counts for 2018” o Disposal Tender - export, roll offs, scrap metal etc David Lindsay has been engaged by the province as a Special Advisor on Recycling and Plastic Waste to urgently address the serious problem of plastic pollution and litter that is increasingly plaguing our parks, highways, lakes and rivers. A deadline of July 20, 2019 has been set. Mark Segsworth indicated that we need to look at sub catchment areas. From the meeting in May in Smith’s Falls he felt there was lots of buy in for trying to promote this. Central Frontenac has indicated they are on board for using KARC. Wayne Orr questioned the Special Advisor having a solution in place by July 20th, however Mr. Segsworth felt this was achievable as there is a willingness to work together to resolve.
Page 229 of 295 Minutes of Public Services Committee June 20, 2019 Bale Wrap We continue to accept bale wrap at the Hazardous Waste facility however there is no market for it. Mark Segsworth noted the need to extract the oils from the product. There is a possible resource that is looking into. Councillor Revill providing an overview of a Nova Scotia company that has a process in place to cook the plastics to create fuel with very little residue left from the process. From his attendance at the FCM Conference he felt there will be a range of options coming our way. The committee discussed the Canadian garbage sent back to British Columbia to be burned for power. There are locals companies who have the capacity to burn garbage. Staff were instructed to looking into having the bale wrap baled so that it is at least more manageable on site until another solution is found. Waste Management Review The committee discussed the various options including: splitting the garbage and recycling contracts extend recycling with existing contractor extend contract (deadline is August 2020) quality standards to include 4 days/week (Tuesday to Friday) private lane collection( all should be treated equally) how to balance the longevity of contracts given the uncertainty of pending changes Committee and Council input on developing new contracts radios will be required for contractor vehicles existing agreements for scrap metal salvage The producers of plastics will in theory be paying for the pick up and the network is already there for “producer responsibility” however it is understood that South Frontenac will still end up providing the service. The upcoming provincial election leads to more uncertainty. The review of existing landfill sites and how they are utilized may result in closing some sites during the winter or reduction of hours. The operation of Loughborough Landfill site has been outsourced for years through a long standing contract. This is a full service site and is not being fully utilized. There has been no approval yet for Phase II at Loughborough which has good capacity. The Director of Public Services is to provide a breakdown on the labour costs associated with each site to assist with decision making about future use and hours of operation. b)
Sunbury Village Revitalization Staff have met with the consultant and the staff at Ormsbee’s to review the managing of traffic and to accommodate parking. The potential for contaminated soil will be acknowledged in the tender that will be sent out before the end of June. It is hoped that the completion date for the project will be before the end of June 2020 prior to tourist season.

Desert Lake Causeway
Page 230 of 295 Minutes of Public Services Committee June 20, 2019 This project will commence in September. 6.
New Business
a)
Former MTO Piccadilly Yard There were no updates. A current market evaluation needs to be obtained and the option to sever part of the property should be explored as well.
b)
Main Street Revitalization Funding There is $53,000 available to share amongst the districts, however direction is required as to where the money is going with a deadline of March 2020 for the money to be spent. Identifying the ‘business areas" within each hamlet is one suggestion. Chairman Sleeth felt there needs to be updated signage in Inverary, Sunbury and Battersea. The CAO will contact Richard Allen at the County about their signage proposal, however it was recognized that this funding is to focus on South Frontenac needs.
c)
Fishing from Bridges and Culverts Mark Segsworth has received complaints about alleged commercial fishing from the Devil Lake causeway. If signage were to be placed there to prohibit the practice then the Ministry of Natural Resources can do something about it. He will arrange a meeting with the OPP and the MNRF to discuss further.
d)
Date for Road Tour A Road Tour will be scheduled for September in order to allow time for the new CAO to have time to get settled into his role.
e)
Speed Limit in Verona While there has been ongoing concerns expressed about the speed limit from Verona Sand Road through to Desert Lake Road, a five year analysis indicates the 40 km per hour is not merited.
f)
Turtles The weather has delayed the hatching of turtle eggs. Every effort is being made to look out for turtles during the road side mowing and shoulder grading.
g)
Updated Signage for Keeley Road Complex Mayor Vandewal suggested that updated signage be installed at Keeley Road to reflect Public and Recreational Services offered at this site. The existing signage is a carry over from pre-amalgamation when the County of Frontenac owned the building.

INFORMATION REPORT TO COUNCIL FIRE AND RESCUE AGENDA DATE:
August 6, 2019
SUBJECT:
2nd Quarter 2019 Update – Fire and Emergency Services
RECOMMENDATION: That Council Receive this Report for Information. BACKGROUND: On December 11, 2018, Fire Chief Darcy Knott delivered a comprehensive Operational Review to Council. The Operational Review included 26 recommendations to be implemented for mid-range planning for South Frontenac Fire and Rescue. Recommendation 3.4 was adopted by Council which suggested that the Fire Chief provide quarterly information updates to Council on the status and progress of South Frontenac Fire and Rescue. This Information Report serves as the second quarterly update for 2019. It will outline what has been accomplished during the 2nd Quarter and what is being planned for the next quarter and remainder of the year. EMERGENCY RESPONSES In the 2nd Quarter of 2019, SFFR has responded to 128 incidents. This total is comparable to the two previous years. We continue to respond at a high frequency of Medical calls but these numbers remain consistent with previous year’s percentages. The tables and charts below provide a comparison of the emergency responses from the 1st and 2nd Quarter of 2019 and total numbers from the previous two years.

During the 2nd Quarter 2019, SFFR has responded to 4 Motor Vehicle Collisions. This is a significant reduction compared to previous years. We have also responded to 11 fires during the 2nd quarter. Only 2 of the 11 were fully involved structure fires that caused major damage to the property and risk to the health and lives of Township Residents. 11 fires for the 2nd Quarter is comparable to the two previous years. We believe strongly, that increased Fire Prevention, Code Enforcement and Public Education Activities, will reduce the severity and frequency of fires within the community. The hope is to have a safe community with the lowest rate and frequency of fire damage as possible.
Our strength is our community.

INFORMATION REPORT TO COUNCIL FIRE AND RESCUE VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER RECRUITMENT In the 2018 SFFR Operational Review, recommendation 2.4 suggested a 2019 recruitment of 25 new Volunteer Firefighters. That recommendation was approved by Council and financially planned for in the 2019 budget. In January 2019, planning for the recruitment began. It involved a major media campaign which included the following:
5 Weekly ads in the Frontenac News Social Media Release – Facebook and Twitter Township of South Frontenac Website 1 CKWS TV Interview 4 separate Information Sessions held a various SFFR Firehalls 3 Electronic Road Signs promoting the recruitment
This media campaign proved to be extremely successful and we were able to reach many Township of South Frontenac residents. The Information Sessions attracted over 100 people. We had over 200 shares on social media and over 400 “likes”. At the end of the posted recruitment, Township Human Resources staff received 78 applications for the 25 positions. From those initial applications, the total number was reduced to 42. The Fire Chief and Township HR interviewed those 42 candidates. 30 candidates were selected to move to the next phase of the process. This phase of the process was a comprehensive Physical Test which is mirrored on the nationally recognized CPAT (Candidate Physical Ability Test). Those 30 candidates undertook the CPAT on April 12 – 13, 2019 at Station 6 (Perth Road). From the final list of candidates, 25 were selected and offered conditional positions. Those 25 candidates began their recruit firefighter training on Wednesday May 8, 2019. Their training modules are currently underway and being completed by Adjunct Instructors of the Ontario Fire College and in collaboration with the Lyndhurst Regional Training Centre. The initial training is expected to be completed by the end of October 2019. Once complete, the Probationary Firefighters will be certified with NFPA 1001 Level 1 and 2 – Firefighter Qualifications and NFPA 1072 – Hazardous Materials Operations Level. This level of training is internationally recognized and provides the same qualifications as any firefighter in North America. To date, all 25 recruits are still engaged and committed to SFFR. In previous recruitments, only 40% of the personnel that began the training were still active at the end of the training process. TANKER REPLACEMENT During the 2nd Quarter, a Capital Budget Project to replace the Tanker at Station 3 (Verona) was started. An RFP was posted online, in the local newspaper, and on the Township website. The specification for this apparatus was vetted internally in great detail to ensure the vehicle would meet the needs of the fire department operation, while remaining fiscally responsible. A specification for a Tanker from 2012 was considered and scaled back to meet our current needs and requirements.
Our strength is our community.
Page 254 of 295
INFORMATION REPORT TO COUNCIL FIRE AND RESCUE On June 12, 2019, bids were opened and Fort Garry Fire Trucks in Winnipeg, Manitoba was awarded the bid to manufacture the apparatus at a cost of $391,000. Pre-construction discussions with Fort Garry Engineering have occurred and the apparatus will be built over the next 9 months. It is expected that delivery of the unit will occur in May 2020. ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF – Fire Prevention and Training In June, recruitment for an Assistant Fire Chief of Fire Prevention and Training began. The job was posted for 3 weeks and we received many applications from qualified candidates. After careful vetting of the applications, a decision to interview 5 candidates was finalized. 3 external candidates and 2 internal candidates were interviewed by a panel of the CAO, HR Officer, and Fire Chief. Upon careful consideration, Alex Bennett was hired to fill the position. He started his role on Monday July 29, 2019. He comes to SFFR from the Leeds and Thousand Islands Fire Service where he served as the Chief Fire Prevention Officer and Acting Manager of the Ontario Fire College Regional Training Centre. He also brings a wealth of qualifications and certifications both on the fire prevention and training functions of the fire service. Alex will be focused on fire code enforcement, fire investigations, public education programs, and developing some of our training programs for SFFR. STATION LOCATION STUDY Planning for the Station Location Study has begun. The Fire Chief has reached out to various other municipalities for examples and previous versions used. This study will focus on maximum coverage for fire protection for the Township, while considering previous call locations, population density, growth, response distances, and operational capability. The intention of the study will be to produce 3 station location models that will be presented to council for consideration on how to best plan for future realignment of the current firehalls and prioritize the potential to rebuild or relocate firehalls. This will include the potential to downsize the current number of fire halls which could greatly reduce future operational costs and capital purchases. It is anticipated the draft will be prepared for release in September 2019. FIRE UNDERWRITERS SURVEY In late June and early July, the Fire Underwriters Survey (FUS) personnel came to the Township to complete an audit of our current fire protection services and capabilities. The Fire Chief spent a total of 3 full days with the auditor. All aspects of the SFFR operation were discussed and evaluated including but not limited to:
staffing levels firehalls and locations

apparatus availability and capability fire prevention activities and code enforcement inspections communications water supply and availability training syllabus and curriculum qualification and certification of staff GIS mapping equipment
At the end of the audit, over 200 items were discussed and examined. A full and comprehensive report back from FUS is expected in 3-4 months. It will identify gaps in service based on key performance indicators and insurance rating gradings. The results of this report may help guide future decisions and priorities of the fire department in order to best serve the community. PUBLIC EDUCATION EVENTS and ACTIVITIES SFFR continues to attend many public and community events to promote fire safety within the community. Each event is unique and reaches many different and diverse groups within the Township. Some of the events attended by SFFR are listed below:
United Way – Success by Six – Emergency Preparedness Event SALT (Senior and Law Enforcement Together) Event – Fire Extinguisher Demonstration Storrington Public School Fun Day Loughborough Public School Fun Day Canada Day Events x3 – Fireworks and parades Prep for Lakes and Trails Event – July 20 Prep for the Verona Car show - August 11
These events continue to be a beneficial way to reach a large demographic and promote fire safety within the community CODE ENFORCEMENT and INSPECTIONS During the 2nd Quarter of 2019, the Fire Chief conducted 11 inspections at various locations within the Township. Each of these inspections were by request and therefore mandatory as per the Fire Protection and Prevention Act. It is anticipated that the hiring of the Assistant Chief of Fire Prevention and Training will allow SFFR to begin routine inspections of various occupancies within the township to ensure Fire Code compliance. The initial focus will be on assembly occupancies, commercial and industrial occupancies, commercial cooking locations, and schools. TRAINING In the 2nd Quarter of 2019, continuation of fire service training was a priority for SFFR. We continue to strive towards certification of fire service personnel and achievement of professional qualifications and full certification. During the second quarter we achieved the following:

INFORMATION REPORT TO COUNCIL FIRE AND RESCUE

As our frequency of medical related responses continues to increase and become increasing complex, the Fire Chief is exploring opportunities for medical training and certification. The Fire Chief has obtained options and requested quotes for upcoming medical training that will ensure our capability and competencies while responding to these types of emergencies. We are expecting to deliver the initial sessions to the new recruits as part of their initial training program and budget for the remaining training of existing personnel in the 2020 budget. The cost for this training is $182 per individual and is a 20 hour package delivered on a Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT In January 2019, Fire Chief Knott compiled and submitted the Township of South Frontenac’s requirements for 2018 compliance with the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act. These requirements include an annual review of the South Frontenac Emergency Plan, Critical Infrastructure, Hazard Identification Risk Assessment, Public Education Portfolio, and Annual Training and Exercise. All of these objectives were met during 2018. On June 24. 2019, The Township of South Frontenac received our letter of compliance for 2018 from the Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management. Planning for the requirements for 2019 has begun. This includes a scheduled exercise, training and meeting on October 9, 2019 and will include the entire Emergency Control Group. On May 9, 2019, a Public Education Event planned in coordination with the United Way – Success by 6 Program, SF Public Works, OPP, Frontenac EMS, and our Field Officer from Emergency Management Ontario, was held at Keeley Road in the evening from 430pm to 8pm. It was called Touch a Truck and proceeds went to the United Way. A booth was set up promoting emergency preparedness and a 72 Hour (Family of 4) emergency kit was raffled off at the event. The event raised $720 and approx. 350 members of the public were in attendance, despite rainy conditions. This event happened in conjunction with the Provincial Emergency Preparedness Week from May 5-11. UPCOMING 3rd QUARTER OBJECTIVES

INFORMATION REPORT TO COUNCIL PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
AGENDA DATE:
August 6, 2019
SUBJECT:
Tender No. PW-2019-16, 2019 Road Repair Program
RECOMMENDATION: For Information only. BACKGROUND: The spring of 2019 had significant impacts on several sections of our road network. The cause of this was from an extended cold period where the frost stayed longer than typical and constant freeze-thaw cycles. As a result council approved the acceleration of Murvale Road from 2021 to 2019 and an amount of $500,000 for the permanent repairs of the remaining sections. A tender for the permanent repairs of these remaining sections was prepared and advertised on the Municipal website, on Biddingo, and in the local newspaper. This tender closed on July 10th, 2019. The results, in ascending order, were as follows: Supplier
Price (Incl. HST)
Aarde Construction Ltd.
$359,594.25
O. Bettschen Construction Ltd.
$401,760.20
Len Corcoran Excavating Ltd.
$434,959.60
Crain’s Construction Ltd.
$492,951.20
Coco Paving Inc.
$564,883.61
Dig’ n Dirt Ltd.
$597,003.41
The submission of the low bidder has been evaluated and was found to be accurate and complete. Aarde Construction Ltd. is a reputable contractor and has provided construction services in and around South Frontenac Township. For these reasons, and also because their price was $42,165.95 lower than the bid from O. Bettschen Construction Ltd., the Public Services Department, under delegated authority, has awarded the tender to Aarde Construction Ltd., for $359,594.25, including HST.
FINANCIAL and STAFFING CONSIDERATIONS With an amount of $359,594.25 committed to Aarde Construction, $140,405.75 remains of the budgeted $500,000. An amount of $50,000 will also be required for surface treatment of the tendered segments. Additionally, Quinn Road West was included on the repair list but will be repaired in house by Municipal Staff.
Our strength is our community.

REPORT TO COUNCIL TREASURY DEPARTMENT AGENDA DATE:
August 6th, 2019
SUBJECT:
Year to date financials to June 30th
RECOMMENDATION: This report is for information. BACKGROUND: Attached are the year to date financials to June 30th with a comparison to year to date budget as well as a column which reflects the total 2019 budget. A summary of the variances for the Capital budget is also attached. Year to date revenues totalling $22,393,052 are $208,720 under budget while year to date expenses total $12,244,678 and are $483,951 under budget. These figures include both operating and capital variances. The capital expenses are under budget by $11,666,373 which is driven by timing of projects. The comparison to budget is based on the yearly budget. Any offsetting capital reserve transfers have also not been processed. The variance within the operating expenses can be attributed to a year to date deficit of $159,312 for winter control. The yearly budget is $2,148,603 which would leave $700,129 for November/December winter events. The remaining can be attributed to timing. The net of year to date budget versus actual is a surplus of $275,231. Providing this statement assures council that the direction given from the 2019 budget is being carried out. Managers are receiving detailed financial reports on a monthly basis. ATTACHMENTS YTD financials as of June 30th 2019 2019 Capital Budget Budget vs Actuals - June 30th Submitted/approved/prepared by: Louise Fragnito, Director of Corporate Services & Treasurer

From: Dave and Jennifer Linton [mailto:djlinton72@hotmail.com] Sent: July-08-19 4:24 PM To: Wayne Orr worr@southfrontenac.net Subject: Safety and excessive noise concerns Greetings Wayne, Attached is a most unpleasant scenario my wife, son and I experienced recently. The Sydenham hamlet boundaries have not been revamped for at least 15 years re firearms. Residential building has greatly expanded in the past 15 years. Since intelligence and discretion seem not to be attributes required to obtain a gun licence, surely more control over where firearms can be discharged is necessary. We request that Sydenham hamlet boundaries be expanded before someone is injured or worse. This would mean by-laws would offer more protection and comfort to more peace loving citizens. We hope that you will share this request with council; a suggestion from Ross Sutherland. A four hour skeet shoot!! Wishing you a happy and peaceful retirement Wayne. Respectfully, Dave and Jennifer Linton 2830 Alton Road East, Sydenham 613 376-6883

A Disturbing Event On Sun June 30th for the entire afternoon we were entertained by the sounds of gunfire coming from an adjacent field on our east side. There were at least three separate occasions that shot gun pellets rained down on the steel roof of our home, near where I was working on my Canada Day Float. I uttered a warning shout the first time it happened. Our son was visiting us, and while he was watering our garden, pellets again rained down on the roof and in our garden near him. He immediately called 911. The investigating OPP officer Julian Morrison, basically issued a slap on the wrist warning to the perpetrators. The owner of the field adjacent to the east side of our property was apparently hosting a skeet shoot. A township map would reveal his name. I was denied a copy of the police report on this matter. At the first incident of falling pellets, I yelled in protest, hoping it was a single mis‐ calculation. But repetition strongly suggested it was indiscriminate or dangerous use of a firearm. Our by‐law officer has yet to respond to my phone call. He can obtain a copy of the police report through “Freedom of information” web site. This is not the first time we have had to endure several hours of gunshot fire, however this is the first time it has actually entered our yard, and also our first time to report this matter. We feel enough is enough! It appears we have reckless, inconsiderate folks in our society, therefore we need laws that need to be enforced. I will continue to seek conversation with our by‐law officer. I am bringing this to your attention in the hope that you can assist me with this matter, before someone gets injured.

July 22, 2019 Dear Head of Council: RE: Provincial Policy Statement Review – Draft Policies I am writing today to announce that my ministry is launching a consultation on proposed policy changes to the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). The PPS is an important part of Ontario’s land use planning system, setting out the provincial land use policy direction. Municipalities play a key role in implementing these policies through local official plans, zoning by-laws and other planning decisions. The Planning Act requires that decisions on land use planning matters be “consistent with” the Provincial Policy Statement policies. The government is consulting on draft policy changes to: • Encourage the development of an increased mix and supply of housing • Protect the environment and public safety • Reduce barriers and costs for development and provide greater predictability • Support rural, northern and Indigenous communities • Support the economy and job creation The proposed PPS policy changes support the implementation of More Homes, More Choice: Ontario’s Housing Supply Action Plan. The Action Plan includes a series of distinct but coordinated initiatives to address housing supply, including a review of the Provincial Policy Statement. The proposed PPS changes work together with other recent changes to the land use planning system – including to the Planning Act through Bill 108, More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 (once proclaimed) and A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. For more information about the consultation, please visit http://www.mah.gov.on.ca/Page215.aspx where you will find: • A link to the posting on the Environment Registry of Ontario (ERO #019-0279), including the proposed Provincial Policy Statement and questions to consider • Information on how to provide comments The consultation is open for 90 days and closes on October 21, 2019.

Pink Lady’s Slipper Orchids by Heather Beale From mid-May to mid—Ju|y, our region blooms with one of its prettiest hidden treasures, Pink Lady’s Slipper wild orchids. Also known as Moccasin flowers, these terrestrial orchids have large pink blooms, each resembling a slipper or shoe, on six-inch high stems. Found in dry, rocky, acidic pine forest areas of Dog Lake, nearby Rock Dunder Nature Reserve, and Charleston Lake Provincial Park, these showy pink orchids take up to ten years to reach flowering stage. Large colonies of Pink Lady’s Slippers can be hundreds of years old. (continued on page 3)

President’s Message Sue Shaw As we learn more, we will pass on the information to our members. For now, be sure to read Janet Brown’s report from the Water Quality Committee.
Concern about the quality of our lake water was a major issue this past year for the DLA. This was because of widespread blue-green algae (BGA) blooms in Dog Lake for several weeks in August and September. BGA sightings led to a swimming ban at Gilmore Point Beach and concerns about swimming in other parts of the lake. There were also additional warnings for residents to not use lake water for other purposes, to not allow dogs in the lake, and to avoid eating fish caught in the lake. We were not the only lake in the region with BGA growth. In meetings with representatives from Eastern Ontario Lake Associations last year, we discovered that BGA was a major concern for many associations. In addition, we learned that research has shown an increase of these water plants in many parts of the world, including Europe and Asia, where lake water is more likely to be used for human consumption. While this scenario is worrying, there is also new research aimed at finding ways to reduce or minimize the dangers of blue-green algae.
We have made progress in various other ways too. In the fall we had two Strategic Planning Meetings, organized by Bob Volpe and Morley Burwash, and put together a list of DLA objectives to help guide future decisions and priorities, including protection of water quality, communication with members, and communication with governmental organizations. This has been put into practice, for example, through meetings with township planners and letters to politicians raising concerns about planned cuts to environmental and conservation funding. You may remember, too, that in the fall we organized an All Candidates meeting, giving the audience a chance to ask questions and learn about the priorities and views of the candidates up for election or reelection. Thanks to Bob Volpe and Mel Hutchison, we now have a new website up and running. This website will make new and renewed membership signups easier and will automatically add new members’ addresses to our DLA list.
On another note, we now have an active Social Committee, chaired by Kari Galasso. Three very successful social events were held during the past year, a garden tour in August, a “Skate the Lake” and dinner event in January, and a “Turtle Talk” in May. Congratulations to the Social Committeefor organizing all these successful and fun events. Thanks to all members of the Board and DLA Committees, as well as to our members. We appreciate your support!

Pink Lady’s Slipper Orchids

(continued from page 1)
Because they lack the necessary tools to survive on their own, the orchids rely on a symbiotic relationship with soil fungi of the Rhizoctonia genus to survive and thrive. Surprisingly, most perennial plants have fungal tissue growing in them; symbiotic fungi are the rule, not the exception. Here’s how that relationship works: The seeds of a Pink Lady’s Slipper orchid that have fallen to the ground are broken open by threads of the fungi, which then feed them for several years while each seed grows roots. Once the plant is established, the orchid then provides nutrients to the fungi. Alternatively, the mature orchid can also form rhizomes (shoots growing from root nodes) that spread underground, so you often see whole colonies of pink flowers together. They are connected by shallow, sensitive root systems, so be careful not to tread on them!
Pollination of the orchids involves deception and entrapment. Bees are tricked into pollinating these flowers, which produce no nectar. Their vanilla scent and bright colour attract the bees, which enter the lower lobes of a flower through a slit. Once inside the petals, they can’t exit the way they came in due to the ?ower’s edge turned inward. The insect is guided up to the only exit. First, the bees pass the flower’s stigma, depositing pollen from other orchid plants, then it brushes past the anthers, collecting more pollen on the way out the top hole. A continual supply of young bees is necessary near these plants, since older bees quickly learn there’s no nectar there and subsequently ignore the flower.
Historically, British gardeners of the seventeenth century prized wild Lady’s Slippers and plucked them from forests for their own gardens and greenhouses or to sell or trade. But these orchids have a very high transplant failure, with 95% of those dug up unable to survive transplanting. By W I only one specimen was left growing in all of Great Britain, the actual location of it kept a guarded secret.

The bee is attracted to the flower entrance
in the bright pink flower petal, but must exit through the top of the flower thereby pollinating the flower in Ontario, it is illegal to pick or dig Pink Lady’s Slippers from provincial parks or on the Bruce Trail. They don’t survive transplanting without their fungal friends, so just enjoy them in place when you come upon them. Another good reason not to pick or dig these orchids is that contact with the glandular hairs on the leaves and stems can cause severe dermatitis or a skin rash, similar to poison ivy! A useful database of flower observations in Canada can be found at iNaturalist.ca, with recordings for Pink Lady’s Slipper under Cypripedium acaule.
if you happen to find the smaller white orchid (Cypripedium candldum) on your property, take note: It is on the Ontario Species at Risk list and your property could qualify for a conservation land tax reduction. For details, see website below:

Internet Service on Dog Lake by
Arend Bonen There are many things to enjoy if you live on Dog Lake, but a reliable, fast internet connection in this rural area isn’t one of them. Residents are faced with limited options, none of which will provide urban-like internet speeds. Choices for an internet connection depend on the local topographic situation, as well as willingness to pay for download speeds (megabytes/second, Mbps) and the data you may need (gigabytes/month, GBs). The tables below give a sense of download speeds and 1 GB of data. Table 1. Download speeds and activities Speed Activities

Other options are preferable, namely fixed wireless, satellite, and “dongle/hub” systems. The latter (Be||’s Turbo Stick or Rogers’ Rocket hub) provides excellent download speeds, but it is very expensive, as data plans only include a few GBs/month, leading to costly over-use charges. Much more economical are either the fixed wireless or satellite systems.

A fixed wireless internet connection is an excellent option, in terms of download speeds and costs. A front—loadcost is the installation of a receiver antenna on top of a metal tower. However, ifthere are “line of sight” obstructions (trees or rocks) between the signal delivery tower and receiver antenna, this internet service cannot be used. The alternative for delivering internet signals is the slightly more expensive satellite system. A frontload cost is the installation of a satellite dish. Because the internet signals travel to space and back, slight delays are inevitable. This can be a problem when very rapid, real-time access or interactions are required (e.g. online gaming, realtime stock/auction trading, etc). Most other internet activities are not affected (e.g. internet browsing, email, streaming music and videos). Nevertheless, for fans of Netflix and other streaming services, buffering can be irritating. This
occurs when the internet provider slows down the internet signal delivery when the network is busy. For Netflix this buffering can easily be avoided. Netflix movies can be downloaded to an iPad and other tablets, for uninterrupted playback later on the tablet, without an internet connection. The downloaded movies may also be viewed on TV from a tablet via WiFi in the home, although signal delays can happen. To avoid this, use a VGA adapter to connect the tablet directly to the TV as shown below. Happy viewing!

A Long-time Neighbour, Pierre Bussiéres by
Susan Keefe As soon as the ice melts, sometime between mid-April and early May, Pierre Bussieres leaves his winter residence in Kingston and heads for his cottage on Dog Lake, where he lives until early November. His children are grown and his grandchildren are adults now, but the cozy cottage walls hold warm memories of years when they shared three seasons tramping through the woods, fishing and boating on the lake, reading by the large stone ?replace and—as Pierre is an excellent cook—preparing and sharing meals with friends and neighbours. He still enjoys these pastimes now, and he plants and tends a small garden of flowers and vegetables.
road for signs of rain damage and ordered extra loads of gravel when necessary. Recently the common land has been sold, and so these mayoral duties have passed on to the new owner! Dog Lake is only part of what occupies Pierre’s time. He keeps in touch with his alumni from both the Royal Military College of Canada (RMCC) and Queen’s. University through social and academic functions. After graduating from RMCC, he had joined the Royal Canadian Air Force as a technical officer involved in flight testing a number of aircraft acquired during the fifties: specifically, the F86 Sabre Mk V, the Fairchild Packet “Flying Boxcar," the Lockheed Neptune, the Canadair Orion anti-sub, and the CF105 Av Roe “Arrow”.His childhood in the St. Mauricie area in Quebec made him a valuable bilingual asset, and in 1962 he became an instructor at RMCC and taught mechanical engineering for 34 years, until he retired in 1996.

Pierre relaxing by the fireplace Every neighbourhood has a mayor, and until now Pierre has been the “acting” mayor of Christel Lane. Several cottages meander along the two or so miles of the Lane. Nearest Pierre, scattered along a little peninsula in the lake, are the Christel and Stifter cottages, the Barron’s family cottage, the Murphy cottage, and the Porter’s summer place. Many of the original owners were Pierre’s peers, but now their children and grandchildren occupy this little piece of summer heaven. In years past, Pierre could be seen every few weeks on his tractor, mowing the tall grasses in the meadow that served as the centre of the little community. He was the one who watched the
“Retired” is only a figure of speech for Pierre. In 1996 he earned his pilot’s license, fulfilling a lifelong dream. Besides flying over Dog Lake and the surrounding husband and I have been treated to such a areas—my “cruise,” including a glimpse of Dan Ackroyd’s compound on Loughborough Lake—Pierre has participated in many fly-in breakfasts and pilots‘ meetings throughout eastern Ontario. What’s next? Only Pierre knows, but gauging from his history, one can surmise that he has miles yet to go and untold adventures waiting for him ahead.

Water Quality Committee Report by Janet Brown, Chair There are now nine members on our Committee: Dieter Rohde, Carol Allmendinger, Tony Eccles, Cam Wilson, Laura Stevens, Craig Stevens, Julian Kreho and Gina Almeida. We try to meet every month and report our recommendations to the Dog Lake Association Board.
encourage improvements and set standards for lakes in Ontario. The Blue Lakes designation will mean that there is stewardship happening on the lake to actively manage the environment. Codes of conduct are being developed for having the designation of being a Blue Lake. If the pilot project is successful, then the program should launch in 2020.
Last summer we started sampling the water in Dog Lake for the Lake Partners Program, which enlists volunteers to sample water in Ontario lakes throughout the summer months. We take monthly water samples from May until October in Milburn Bay, beside St. He|ena’s Island and at the Crane’s Nest bridge. We use a secchi disk to measure the clarity of the water. The disk is lowered into the water until we can no longer see it, and then we measure how deep it was when it disappeared. We also take water temperature readings and send the water off to a lab for analysis of

Conservation Authority. We have had several meetings about many environmental issues affecting the lakes in the lower Cataraqui watershed. We hope to collaborate with . scientists and other stakeholders to gather data about the lakes and see what measures we can take to improve the water quality in Dog Lake. Janet Brown taking a water sample phosphorus and calcium levels. Phosphorus is a good measure of the nutrient load in the lake, with high levels affecting both blue-green algae and weed growth. Calcium is also a measure of nutrient content of the lake, with low levels indicating a low nutrient content. We have not seen a recent analysis of nutrient levels in Dog Lake.
We continue to be part of the Blue Lakes Pilot Project for 2019. This is an initiative to develop an eco-label that will help consumers make environmentally responsible choices and
We were all concerned about the blue-green algae blooms on the lake last August that forced the closure of the beach at Gilmour Point. We placed information posters on mailboxes and at various other locations around the lake and also found out who to Contact in case of a bloom—the KFL&Aand the Spills Action Centre at the Ministry of the Environment. We will continue to send information to our members regarding this important issue during the spring and summer. For more information about blue-green algae go to www.ontario.ca/page/blue-green-algae. The Water Quality Committee is looking forward to an interesting and informative 2019!

Social Committee Report by Kari Galasso, Chair In the past 12 months our committee has organized three events for the Dog Lake community. The first event, held last August, was a tour of the beautiful garden nurtured for the past 40 years by Linda and Brian Hetherington on Sunbury road.

On January 26, a group of 14 hearty Dog Lakers gathered to enjoy the annual Skate the Lake event held in Portland. The one-kilometre oval ploughed on Big Rideau Lake allowed for some very enjoyable skating. It was a great opportunity for people to meet and socialize. After our skate, we brought our group together to enjoy a nice dinner at the Holiday Country Manor in Batters-ea. Our hope is to have a “ext Yea?
