RC-24-05 (Leverette) Unopened Road Allowance Closure and Purchase Request, Public meeting and By-law
Report Number:
2025-001
Summary The purpose of the Report is to request the approval of Council regarding the closure and sale of a portion of Unopened Road Allowance, legally described as a Road Allowance between Concession 11 and 12, Part of Lot 22, Loughborough, Part 2 and Part 3 Plan 13R19516. Recommendation That By-law 2025-16 being a By-law to Stop up, close and sell a portion of Unopened Road Allowance, Part 2 and Part 3 Plan 13R19516; Loughborough, be given first and second reading; and That By-law 2025-16 be given third reading, signed and sealed. Background The Municipal Act, 2001, allows Council to consider the stopping up, closing and transferring of lands that are surplus to the needs of the municipality. The Township of South Frontenac Notice By-Law (By-law Number 2016-73) prescribes the manner in which notice is provided for applications requesting to stop up, close and transfer an unopened road allowance. Discussion/Analysis On September 23, 2024, the Clerk’s Department received an application requesting to close and transfer a portion of the Unopened Road Allowance between Concessions 11 and 12, Part of Lot 22, Loughborough, Part 2 and Part 3 Plan 13R19516. Staff brought this matter before Council for consideration at the December 17, 2024 Council meeting. Council recommended that this matter proceed to the next step of the application process which is to hold a Public Meeting. Council also agreed to waive the normal www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

procedure, and as such, subject to comments received during the public meeting process, a by-law be brought forward for consideration by Council at the same meeting. The Unopened Road Allowance is aligned from east to west between Perth Road and Buck Lake. In 2008, an application to close and transfer a portion of the Unopened Road Allowance to be added to 1173 Narrows Lane was received and presented to Council. Council agreed that the portions of unopened road allowance on which the cottage and holding tank were located should be closed and sold to the abutting property owner. The Location Map attached to the Report as Exhibit “B” shows Parcels A, B, C and D for clarification. Parcel A is 1173 Narrows Lane, the benefitting lands of the 2008 application to close and purchase the Unopened Road Allowance and the benefitting lands to this current application. Parcel B is the Unopened Road Allowance that is requesting approval from Council to be closed and sold to be added to Parcel A. On October 1, 2024, Parcel C received approval from Council to close and sell to the benefitting lands located at Parcel D, 1185 Narrows Lane. That sale has been approved by Council and is pending completion. Exhibit “A” to the Report is survey 13R19516. Through Report 2024-162, Council approved the closure of Part 4 Plan 13R19516 to the benefiting lands located at 1185 Narrows Lane. It was during this process that the abutting landowner and current applicant inquired about closing and purchasing the remainder of the Unopened Road Allowance. A review of the satellite imagery on Frontenac Maps shows that the distance between the dwellings located on 1185 and 1173 Narrows Lane is just over 10 metres across which restricts the portion of the Unopened Road Allowance. The survey from the 2008 application will suffice as a legal description, all of Parts 2 and 3 are being proposed to be closed and purchased. The current unopened road access between the two properties is already narrow and this closure and transfer will not create a situation which would further prohibit the public’s already limited access. It should be noted that the applicant submitted their application and paid the application fee and deposit in advance of By-Law 2024-66, A By-Law to Establish Unopened Road Allowance Policies taking effect and as such the application is being considered under the terms of the previous process. The area of Parts 2 and 3 Plan 13R19516 is approximately 3,417.67 square feet. The lands are within 300 of a waterbody and therefore will have a purchase price of $2.41 cents a square foot. The total purchase price will be $8,200 plus HST ($1,066) for a total of $9,266.66. Notice regarding the application was circulated in the Frontenac News and on the Township of South Frontenac website for four weeks, it was also posted on the property as per the Notice By-law. There are no abutting properties to the portion of unopened road allowance requested to be purchased. Public Services, the Conservation Authority and the Ministry of Natural Resources were not circulated due to the nature of the application. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Pending any comments received from the public, it is recommended that Council approved the By-law, attached to the Report as Exhibit C, to close and sell the Unopened Road Allowance lands shown as Part 4 on Reference Plan 13R19516. Financial Implications A deposit has been paid by the applicant to cover legal costs to transfer the lands. The purchase price is noted above.

Summary This report provides Council with information about Zoning By-law Amendment Application PL-ZBA-2025-0001 for a property on Willy’s Lane on Fourteen Island Lake. If approved, the RU zoning on portions of the subject lands would be changed to RLSW special exception zones. The by-law would acknowledge that two proposed lots would be accessed by a private lane. It would also permit one of the lots to have two cottages and four sleeping cabins, and allow one of the lots to be one acre in size. Consistent with Council’s Procedural By-law, Council will receive comments from the public on the application through the public meeting. Staff will bring a more detailed report considering applicable policy and public comments, as well as providing a recommendation to Council on this application at a future meeting. Recommendation This report is for information only. Background The subject property is 220 acres on Fourteen Island Lake with access by Willy’s Lane. The lands consist of forest and wetland. There are six cottages on this property. According to MPAC, these cottages were constructed between 1940 and 1965. All the buildings are set back less than 30m from the highwater mark of Fourteen Island Lake. The Owner desires to sever two waterfront lots. Lot 1 would be 2.0ha (4.9 acres) and contain two of the cottages and their accessory buildings (including four sleeping cabins). These cottages are addressed 1125 and 1127 Willy’s Lane. Lot 2 would be 0.4ha (1.0 acre) and contain one of the cottages and their accessory buildings (including one sleeping cabin). This cottage is addressed 1137 Willy’s Lane. Consent applications will be submitted if Council approves the zoning by-law amendment. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Reg. 41/24 would be required for any development and site alteration within 30m of floodplains and wetlands and within 45m of any watercourse. Public Comments
No public comments were received before this report was finalized. Discussion The proposed zoning by-law amendment must be assessed against the applicable policies of the Provincial Planning Statement 2024, County of Frontenac Official Plan, and Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, as well as the provisions of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75 as amended. The property is designated Rural, except for wetlands, which are designated Environmental Protection. The property is zoned Rural (RU), except for the wetlands at the south end of the property, which are zoned Environmental Protection (EP). The proposed lots are far removed from all the wetlands. The PPS and County Official Plan speak to permitting resource-based recreational uses, including recreational/seasonal dwellings, as well as residential development that are sensitive to the surroundings and where site conditions are suitable for the provision of appropriate sewage and water services. The Township Official Plan permits a wide range of uses in the Rural designation including limited service residential uses.

maintain the rural character, natural heritage, and cultural landscape in the Township. The Zoning By-law permits one dwelling per lot, and one sleeping cabin accessory to a dwelling on waterfront lots. Proposed Lot 1 would contain two existing dwellings and four existing sleeping cabins. Section 5.7.7 of the Township Official Plan requires any lot created for limited service residential purposes to have a frontage, size and shape that is appropriate for the proposed use and that conforms to the Zoning By-law provisions. These policies require lots to be a minimum of 1.0ha (2.5 acre) in size with 91m water frontage and 76m frontage on a private road. The municipality may consider reductions to these requirements provided the overall intent of the Official Plan is maintained. Proposed Lot 1 would be 2.0ha (4.9 acres) in size, exceeding minimum lot area requirements. It would have a minimum 91m water frontage, measured between side lot lines. The actual shoreline length would be 176m. The lot would not have frontage on a private lane, however, it is accessed by Willy’s Lane and more than 200m of Willy’s Lane runs through the it. Proposed Lot 2 is on a long, narrow peninsula. It would be 0.4ha (1.0 acres) in size. It have 285m of shoreline, but only about 30m water frontage, measured between side lot lines. The lot would not have frontage on a private lane due to its distance from Willy’s Lane, however it would have a right-of-way to the lane. A detailed policy analysis will be provided in a subsequent report to Council following the public meeting. The report may include a by-law for consideration by Council. The content of a proposed by-law may be refined based on the detailed policy analysis and consideration of comments received at the public meeting. Financial Implications Not applicable.

Subject:
Request for Extension of Approval – Shield Shores Draft Plan of Condominium 10CD-2016/001
Report Number:
2025-034
Summary The developer of the Shield Shores Plan of Condominium has applied to the County of Frontenac for an extension to their draft plan approval which is set to lapse in April 2025. The County requests that Township Council provide a recommendation to County Council as part of their decision-making process on the request for an extension. This report recommends that Township Council support the extension of draft plan approval for a further period of two years. Recommendation That Council recommend the County of Frontenac extend draft plan approval for a period of two years for application 10CD-2016/001, subject to the conditions approved by the County of Frontenac on May 15, 2019, and direct the Clerk to forward this resolution to the County Clerk. Background The County of Frontenac is the approval authority for plans of subdivision and condominium. The Township received notice on March 3, 2025, that the County of Frontenac has received an application to extend draft plan approval for the Shield Shores Plan of Condominium (10CD – 2016/001). The County has requested input from Township Council on the requested extension, in the form of a resolution. The original application for the Shield Shores Condominium was approved by the County of Frontenac on May 19, 2019. A two-year extension was granted in 2022. A further one-year extension was granted in 2024. The draft plan is for the creation of eighteen (18) residential units, two private lanes and five (5) blocks. The Condominium is located outside of the Battersea settlement area and is accessed from Wellington Street.

Attachment 1 shows the location of the subject property on which the plan of condominium is proposed. Attachment 2 is the draft plan of condominium that shows the unit layout, the proposed lanes, and blocks. Discussion Reason for Draft Plan Extension The County of Frontenac forwarded a copy of the application for draft plan approval dated February 25, 2025, from the developer, Barry Campbell, requesting an extension of draft approval (Attachment 4). The application to extend draft plan approval for the Shield Shores Condominium lists the reasons for why an extension is requested. The application indicates that an application for final approval was submitted to the County in spring 2024, and that there was an unexpectedly long list of issues to be addressed. These issues required further environmental assessments and revised engineering drawings. Mr. Campbell is actively working to fulfill the remaining conditions. However, it is unlikely that there is enough time for the required drawings and documentation to be reviewed and approved by the Township and external agencies before the expiry of the extension. Review of Request for Draft Plan Extension Township staff are supportive of the County providing a further two-year extension to draft plan approval to allow the developer and the Township the opportunity to fulfill the remaining conditions of draft plan approval. The Provincial Planning Statement 2024, the County Official Plan and the Township Official Plan are all supportive of the creation a range and mix of housing types and permit the creation of rural residential lots that are in-keeping with the character of rural areas. Subject to fulfilling all draft plan conditions, Township staff are of the opinion that extending draft plan approval for the Shield Shores Condominium helps further the Township’s goal to provide a supply of housing to market, while maintaining the integrity of our natural environment. The developer has been actively working to fulfill conditions of draft plan approval. The below section outlines work completed by both the developer and the Township to date on a number of key conditions of draft plan approval: •
•
A draft condominium agreement was prepared by Township staff and reviewed by the developer. The majority of the conditions of draft plan approval will be completed through the condominium agreement. The Township’s appraiser has undertaken an appraisal of the condominium for the purpose of calculating cash-in-lieu of parkland. Council received a report in this regard in April 2020 and set the cash-in-lieu value for Shield Shores Condominium at $20,000. This money will be collected at the time the condominium agreement is signed and brought to Council for approval. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Council passed By-law 2020-60 to approve the naming of two new private lanes and two existing rights-of-way to Shield Shores Lane, Glacier Lane, Bird Haven Lane and Briscoe Bay Lane at the November 3, 2020 Council meeting. The Zoning By-law amendment for the Shield Shores Plan of Condominium was approved by Council on August 11, 2020. This by-law took full force and effect on September 7, 2020. The residential units were zoned Residential Limited Service and Residential Limited Services Waterfront with a Holding zone. The lifting of the holding zone is conditional on the developer entering into a condominium agreement with the Township. The developer has been working towards constructing the private lanes and realigning the entrance of the private lane at the intersection of Wellington Street. These works will need to be reviewed and inspected by Township staff to determine if the private lanes have been constructed to Township standards.
Staff note there are several other conditions that need to be finalized in order to fulfill conditions including: • •
Detailed Engineering Review –Stormwater Management, Grading, Erosion and Sediment Control, Servicing, Lighting Installation of on-site works such as Canada Post mailbox, garbage and recycling facilities
Next Steps The resolution from Council will be forwarded to the County Clerk for consideration at the next County Council meeting where the application to extend draft plan approval for the Shield Shores Plan of Condominium will be considered.

Subject:
Vesting of Failed Tax Sale Properties
Report Number:
2025-043
Summary This report recommends that Council vest failed tax sale properties listed under Attachment A and declare the properties surplus so they may be included in our next Failed Tax Sale RFP. Recommendation That Council authorize the vesting of the properties listed under Attachment A of Report 2025-043; That the properties listed under Attachment A be declared surplus to allow for next steps to be undertaken in the failed tax sale RFP process; and That the vesting costs for the listed properties under Attachment A, based on the cost at the time the property is vested, be funded from the allowance for doubtful accounts. Background In 2023, three separate Sale of Land by Public Tender were conducted by the Township on April 27,2023; May 18, 2023; and June 1, 2023. No bids were received on the parcels in this report, which resulted in no successful purchaser. A list of the properties is included in Attachment A. A municipality has 2 years to vest a property from the date of the failed tax sale, otherwise the tax sale proceedings expire and a new tax sale process would need to begin to sell the property. The legislative deadline to vest the properties in this report range from April 27, 2025 to June 1, 2025. Discussion/Analysis Sale of Land by Public Tender The Sale of Land by Public Tender processes (tax sale) is governed under the authority of the Municipal Act, 2001 (the Act) and Ontario Regulation 181/03 (Municipal Tax Sales www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.
Township of South Frontenac Staff Report Number – 2025-043
Page 88 of 143
Rules). Under legislation municipalities are empowered to utilize a Sale of Land by Public Tender processes (tax sale) for eligible properties to recover tax arrears on a property. A property is eligible for tax sale proceedings when the tax account has any part of two years or more taxes outstanding on January 1st of a given year. All parcels in this report followed the legislative tax sale process. At the public tender no bids were received on any of the parcels listed in Attachment A. Mapping of each property is included in Attachment B. Right to Vest Where properties remain unsold after a tax sale, the Act provides that a municipality may re-advertise the unsold properties for sale a second time within two years of the original tax sale date. Typically, the Township would not re-advertise for tax sale when a property received no bids since incurring further costs on the parcel would only raise the minimum tender amount required. It is anticipated the increased cost would only further deter a successful sale while at the same time raising the expense to the Township. Alternatively, the Act also provides for the ability of the Township to vest (take ownership) of the unsold properties or to write off the arrears owing on tax roll at which time the Township would offer the parcel through an RFP process. During the RFP process, the Township issues a public RFP and sends individual letters to adjoining property owners to make them aware of the availability of the abutting property. If the taxes have been written off, the property can be offered for sale without a minimum tender amount which might be more attractive to purchasers. Normally, the failed tax sales would go through an RFP process before the expiry of the 2-year period, however due to timing delays an RFP for failed tax sale has not taken place since the date these parcels failed in tax sale in 2023. Each property listed in Attachment A was not successful at tax sale and can now be considered for vesting. If the municipality has not registered a Notice of Vesting or readvertised within 2 years of the tax sale date, the tax arrears certificate is deemed to be cancelled and the tax sale process, and associated costs, would have to begin again. Staff recommendation is for Council to exercise its powers under the Municipal Act (2001) and Ontario Regulation 181/03 to authorize vesting of the parcels to avoid the expiry of the two-year period. Vesting will also avoid further billing of taxes on these parcels. An updated title search will be executed prior to vesting any parcel in the name of the municipality. Staff additionally recommend Council declare the parcels surplus whereby the parcels will then be included in our next Failed Tax sale RFP. Staff have already taken steps to assess whether there is Township interest in retaining any of the identified parcels for municipal use; there is not. It is staff’s intent to proceed with a failed tax sale RFP by the end of 2025. The net vesting cost to the Township for all properties listed in this report as of February 28, 2025, totals $67,269.87. Funds exist in the allowance for doubtful accounts.

This amount will change slightly due to accumulated penalty on account based on the timing of when the properties are vested, however the difference is expected to be minimal. Financial Implications Total write-off: $75,556.78 Township portion: $67,269.87 The Township cost for vesting would be funded from the allowance for doubtful accounts. The remainder of the total write-off (county and education levies) will be charged back proportionately to the levying bodies.

2025 Frontenac Farmers Market Special Events
Report Number:
2025-036
Summary This report recommends that Council designate five special events hosted by the Frontenac Farmers Market as municipally significant in support of their AGCO SOP application. This report also recommends that Council approve the sale and consumption of alcohol through the Kick & Push Brewery Catering Endorsement licence at the Frontenac Farmers Markets for a total of 10 additional ‘pop-up’ style special events throughout the market operating season. Finally, this report is intended to inform Council of the Farmers Market’s intentions to host vendors that sell locally made craft beer throughout the season under the manufacturers Temporary Extension Endorsement. Recommendation That Council designate the special events hosted by the Frontenac Farmers Market as Municipally Significant on May 9th, June 6th, July 11th, September 26th, and December 6th, 2025, from 3:00 pm – 7:00 pm at Centennial Park in Harrowsmith as required by the Alcohol & Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) for a Special Occasion Permit (SOP) for the sale and service of alcohol at the events; AND That Council approve the sale and service of alcohol through the Kick & Push Brewery Catering Endorsement licence at the Frontenac Farmers Markets as per bylaw 2003-90 on May 16th, June 20th and 27th, July 25th, August 1st, 15th, and 29th, September 12th, and October 10th and 31st, 2025, from 3:00 pm – 7:00 pm. Background The Frontenac Farmers Market is gearing up for their 2025 season which will once again take place at Centennial Park under the Grand Pavillion. The season is scheduled to start on May 9th and will wrap up on October 31st. The market will run weekly on Friday afternoons from 3:00 pm – 7:00 pm. The Frontenac Farmers Market hosted several successful AGCO-licenced events in 2023 and 2024. As such, organizers are working to plan several licenced special events featuring www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Page 100 of 143
beer gardens for the 2025 season under two different formats – A Special Occasion Permit, and a Catering Endorsement. As these events will have both the sale and service of alcohol, they will require Councils approval as per bylaw 2003-90. SOP events require a municipal significance designation through Council, but the events using the Catering Endorsement do not. Relevant AGCO Rules and Regulations A Special Occasion Permit allows for the sale and service of alcohol on special occasions and is required by law anytime alcohol is offered for sale and service anywhere other than in a liquor licenced establishment, except when a caterers or temporary extension endorsement is permitted. An SOP is intended for one-off, special events and can feature vendors that hold their Smart Serve Certification but are not manufacturers. A Caterer’s Endorsement allows breweries that hold a By-the-Glass Endorsement to sell and serve their products at catered events at locations away from the manufacturer’s licensed premises. The sale and service of alcohol under a Caterer’s Endorsement must be primarily aimed at promoting the licensee’s product and either providing an enhanced tourist experience or fulfilling an educational purpose. A Caterer’s Endorsement is limited to 10 days per event, but the days can be non-consecutive. Breweries must apply for a caterer’s endorsement though the AGCO and provide the AGCO Registrar with the location and times of the events. A Temporary Extension Endorsement allows licensed manufacturers to sell their eligible 100% Ontario wine, spirits or beer as a temporary extension of their retail store within a farmers’ market. The manufacturers must apply for a temporary extension through the AGCO and provide the AGCO Registrar with advance notice of the location and dates of the sale of liquor at farmers markets. Discussion/Analysis Intent of the Farmers Market’s Special Events The special events and pop-up events will aim to promote the market as a destination for residents and visitors of South Frontenac. The goal of the beer garden is to create an atmosphere for networking and community connection, encouraging market attendees to stay for a longer period and engage with the vendors and activities, thereby increasing attendee spending and bolstering the economic benefits of the market. The events will also feature additional added-value elements such as face painting, fire pits, food vendors, live music, yard games, and more. Organizers are working towards contracting local and regional based craft beer businesses to join the events, giving first right of refusal to Frontenac based businesses. The events will be an important cultural and economic development endeavor as it supports the hyperlocal food supply system and other small businesses. Risk Mitigation The Frontenac Farmers Market has indicated the following measures to mitigate potential risks for the beer garden: www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Background To obtain a Special Occasion Permit from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario to sell and serve alcohol, public events must be designated as municipally significant in support of the application. South Frontenac typically hosts two events per calendar year in which a municipal significant designation is sought. The third-ever Summer Kickoff Music Festival will be hosted on May 24th, 2025, from 2:00 pm – 9:00 pm at Centennial Park in Harrowsmith. This event will feature local craft beer, cider, wine, and liquor vendors. Open Farms will take place from September 5th – 7th, 2025. The kickoff event has been scheduled for September 5th, from 3:00 pm – 7:00 pm, at the Frontenac Farmers Market in Centennial Park, Harrowsmith.

of local talent and artistry, bringing together masters of their craft in the music, food, and drink industries. A main feature at the event will be the craft beer and cider garden. Staff have contracted local and regional based craft beer businesses to join the event. In order to secure the proper permits and approvals for the event, it must be designated as municipally significant. The event is intended to appeal to a broad range of residents and will feature activities geared towards adults, such as the drink vendors, but also family friendly activities and a kid’s zone to balance out the target audience. It will be a place for the community to gather and connect before families begin their busy summer. Summer Kickoff Music Festival Risk Mitigation To mitigate risk for the event, staff will contract the Frontenac Ontario Provincial Police to attend the event with uniformed officers and a patrol car for event security. As well, Frontenac Paramedic Services will be contracted for medical emergency services.

All vendors will sign a contract for the event that stipulates that if they are serving alcohol, they must have their Ontario Smart Serve License and will follow the provincial and federal regulations. All other conditions set by the AGCO will also be followed by the event coordinator. Open Farms Open Farms is a collaborative annual event lead by Frontenac County in partnership with South Frontenac Township and Tourism Kingston. The event celebrates farming and food in Frontenac and Kingston and aims to promote economic growth in the agricultural and tourism sectors in the region. The initiative is from September 5th – 7th, with opportunities for farms, markets, restaurants and more to educate consumers about small scale agriculture and eating locally sourced products. South Frontenac leads the organization of the kickoff event at the Frontenac Farmers Market which will include a ribbon cutting, live music, event promotion, and a craft beer garden.

INTRODUCTION
This annual summary report has been prepared as required under Ontario Regulation 170/03 of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) to acknowledge compliance with the terms and conditions of the Drinking Water Works Permit (DWWP) and Municipal Drinking Water License (MDWL) issued for the Sydenham Drinking Water System, to comment on any incidents of non-compliance during the reporting period, to summarize the quantities of the water supplied and to compare the summaries to the rated capacity and flow rates approved in the system’s permits and approvals during the reporting period. This report is specific to the Sydenham Water Treatment Plant (WTP) located at Point Road in Sydenham, and its associated distribution system which serves Sydenham’s municipal water customers in the village of Sydenham. The WTP and its associated distribution system are owned by the Township of South Frontenac, with Utilities Kingston acting as the operating authority.

NON COMPLIANCE
There were no issues of non-compliance with the terms and conditions of the DWWP or MDWL during this reporting period.

COMPLIANCE
The Treatment Group of Utilities Kingston, for the Township of South Frontenac, operates and maintains the Sydenham Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and complies with the terms and conditions of the DWWP and MDWL issued for the WTP. The Utilities Kingston Systems Operations department and the Treatment Group of Utilities Kingston operate and maintain the associated distribution system and storage facilities. Staffing is maintained at levels to ensure adequate numbers of trained and licensed personnel are available for proper operations during emergency or upset conditions, vacation/sick relief, or to deal with equipment breakdown. Quality Management Systems (QMS), contingency plans, and operations manuals are established and are located in the appropriate facilities and available to appropriate staff. A QMS for the Township of South Frontenac’s drinking water supply systems has been developed and implemented by Utilities Kingston management and staff to ensure the continued safety and security of the community’s drinking water by meeting or exceeding the requirements of all relevant legislation and regulations, and the Drinking Water Quality Management Standard (DWQMS). Operations manuals include information necessary for the day-to-day operations and maintenance of the WTP and distribution system as well as information that may not be regularly used but that might be required to be accessed quickly for various purposes. Contingency plans include information that may be required for proper operation of the WTP or distribution system during emergency or upset conditions and contain items such as emergency plans and contact lists, alternate materials supply sources, and notification lists. The operations strategy of Utilities Kingston includes ensuring that permits and approvals are in place, that efficient maintenance and operations ensures the quality of water supplied to its customers meets or exceeds the minimum requirements as set out in the SDWA, and that permissible flow rates are not exceeded. The Township of South Frontenac, as a means of source water protection, considers the impact of decisions made within its authority on the drinking water supply source for the WTP. Flow measuring devices for measuring the amount of water taken from Sydenham Lake, and the amount of water supplied to the distribution system are calibrated annually by a third party. Accuracy in these measurements ensures that treatment chemicals are precisely applied and that flows do not exceed the capacity at which the WTP is designed to be effective. These flows are recorded to

provide current and historical information, which is used for operational decision making, and to allow both the public and the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) the ability to review WTP operations. Water quality analyzers that monitor parameters such as chlorine residual and turbidity of critical process streams and of the water directed to the distribution system are alarm equipped and are maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations as well as the conditions of the DWWP and MDWL. Water sampling is conducted to the minimum requirements of schedule 13 of Ontario Regulation 170/03 of the Safe Drinking water Act. Raw water sampling is conducted to give operational staff information required to determine the level of treatment to make the water potable. In-plant process stream samples provide monitoring of treatment processes. Treated and distribution system sampling provides information regarding the quality of water delivered to customers. All of these samples are analyzed by either licensed staff or by laboratories accredited by the Standards Council of Canada through the Canadian Association for Environmental Analytical Laboratories. All sampling information, annual reports, and all other documentation required by the DWWP, MDWL, and regulations are available for public viewing on the Utilities Kingston website as well as at the Utilities Kingston and Township of South Frontenac offices. Residents of the village of Sydenham are encouraged to review this information, the availability of which is advertised through various local media.

NOTIFICATIONS
Under Ontario Regulation 170/03, notifications were required for any instances where a sample result indicated that a parameter used to measure water quality exceeded a Maximum Acceptable Concentration (MAC). Once a notification is received from a laboratory or an observation of any other indicator of adverse water quality is made by operations personnel, corrective action as dictated by the regulations is initiated in an effort to confirm the initial result. If confirmed, further action may be recommended by the Medical Officer of Health. If not confirmed, sampling will typically return to the normal schedule, or depending on the parameter, Utilities Kingston may choose to increase the sampling frequency to monitor the parameter more closely for a period of time.

EVENTS REQUIRING NOTIFICATIONS
There were no events within the Sydenham Water Treatment Plant that required notification during this reporting period.

QUANTITY OF WATER SUPPLIED
Listed in Table 3 following this report are the treated water flows for the Sydenham Water Treatment Plant. The typical Canadian average water usage per person is 220 litres per person per day (source: Stats Canada 2017). Once all services to the water distribution system are completed, an accurate calculation of water usage per person for the village of Sydenham can be calculated.

TREATMENT CHEMICALS USED
There are three treatment chemicals in use at this treatment plant. Sodium Hypochlorite is used for primary disinfection, XL1900 (PACl) used as the coagulant, and Ammonium Sulphate combined with Sodium Hypochlorite to form chloramines for secondary chlorination for the WTP. Sodium Hypochlorite is dosed at the treatment plant at a rate which ensures that an adequate chlorine Contact Time (CT) value is maintained for the rate of flow. Average chlorine dosage for this treatment plant is approximately 4.50 mg/L. Ammonium Sulphate is added at an approximate rate of 3.5:1 ratio (chlorine/ammonia) to react with the free chlorine to form chloramines for secondary chlorination. Chloramine residuals are routinely measured in the distribution system, and dosages are adjusted as required to ensure the chloramine residual stays above the critical control limit of 1.00 mg/L. The critical control limit is chosen to ensure operators have ample time to respond and correct issues before the combined chlorine residual reaches the regulatory limit of 0.25 mg/L. The average PACl dosage for this treatment plant is approximately 8.88 mg/L. This dosage is also adjusted to ensure efficiency in the coagulation process as various changes occur in the raw water. Changes are based on things such as filter head loss, pH, temperature, turbidity, and the aluminum residual in the treated water.

RC-24-03 (Rahmel) Unopened Road Allowance Closure and Purchase Request
Report Number:
2025-029
Summary This Report is to request the approval of Council for the closure and sale of a portion of Unopened Road Allowance, legally described as a Road Allowance between Concession 6 and 7, Part 1 Plan 13R23297, Storrington/Pittsburgh District. Recommendation That By-law 2025-14 attached to the Report as Exhibit C, being a By-law to Stop up, close and sell a portion of Unopened Road Allowance, Part 1 Plan 13R23297, Storrington/Pittsburgh District, be given first and second reading; and That By-law 2025-14 be given third reading, signed and sealed. Background The Municipal Act, 2001, allows Council to consider the stopping up, closing and transferring of lands that are surplus to the needs of the municipality. The Township Notice By-Law (By-law 2016-73) prescribes the manner in which notice is provided for applications requesting to stop up, close and transfer an unopened road allowance. Discussion/Analysis In April 2024, staff received an application requesting the closing of an unopened road allowance lying between Concessions 6 and 7, District of Storrington/Pittsburgh. The benefitting lands are known as 3062 Washburn Road as outlined in the location map, attached to the Report as Exhibit A. At the June 18, 2024 Council meeting, Council approved in principle to close sections of the Unopened Road Allowance. The matter proceeded to a Public Meeting on August 13, 2024 where members of Council and the public were afforded the opportunity to provide comments or concerns regarding the Road Allowance Closure. No comments were received. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

The applicants engaged the services of an Ontario Land Surveyor to survey the parcel and determine the area of the parcel. The surveyor calculated the area of Part 1 Plan 13R23297 to be 1855.8 square metres (19975.6 square feet). The surveyor noted that there is an existing rail fence near the north limit of Part 1 as illustrated in the reference plan. It is important to note that this file falls within the previous Unopened Road Allowance Closure Policy and at the time it was determined that the lands were calculated at a purchase price of $0.21 per square foot. The purchase price for this portion of land is $4,194.88 + HST of $545.33 totalling $4740.21. Financial Implications The applicants have paid the application fee, a deposit for legal costs incurred, and the costs of the survey. The purchase price is noted above.

Subject:
Zoning By-law Amendment Application PL-ZBA-2024-0131, McCaldon, 1015 Little Deer Lane
Report Number:
2025-033
Summary This report recommends that Council pass a by-law to change the zone on the property municipally known as 1015 Little Deer Lane. The zoning on a portion of the subject lands would be replaced with a new RLSW-144 zone to specify a minimum lot area and to establish a reduced lot frontage. Also, the zoning on the remainder of the parcel would be changed to a Rural special exception zone (RU-83) that would restrict the permitted uses to conservation uses and a woodlot. Recommendation That By-law 2025-15 being a By-law to amend the zoning on lands known as 1015 Little Deer Lane, Part Block 18, Plan 1938, Part of Lot 1, Concession 12, District of Portland, Township of South Frontenac, be given first and second reading; and That By-law 2025-15 be given third reading, signed and sealed. Background The subject property is located at the end of Little Deer Lane on Fourteen Island Lake. It is part of a block in a plan of subdivision. The lands consist of approximately 35 acres of rugged, forested terrain and large wetlands/ponds. The property is developed with a cottage. The property is zoned RLSW-1. This site-specific residential zone requires the property to have a minimum 24.7 acre (10 hectare) lot area. It also places restrictions on building locations without written approval of the Napanee Regional Conservation Authority and the Ministry of Natural Resources. The owners propose to sever 27 acres of the property for conservation purposes, and to retain 9 acres of waterfront with the cottage. This would resolve an ownership issue related to an estate. The Township is in receipt of a consent application. The application will not be processed unless Council approves the Zoning By-law amendment because the consent application currently does not comply with the Zoning By-law. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

The proposed by-law would repeal the RLSW-1 zone, and replace it with a new RLSW-144 zone that would require a minimum 8 acre lot area and permit a 24 metre frontage on Little Deer Lane for the proposed waterfront lot. The by-law would change the zone on the remainder of the parcel to a Rural special exception zone (RU-83) that would require a minimum 26 acre lot area, restrict the permitted uses to conservation uses and a woodlot, and prohibit buildings. Council held a public meeting under the Planning Act on February 13, 2025. No public written comments and oral submissions were received at the meeting. Application and Supporting Documents
The application and supporting documents can be accessed through the Township’s CivicWeb Document Center, https://southfrontenac.civicweb.net/filepro/documents/100574/ Department and Agency Comments
This application did not meet the criteria for circulation to Public Services and Building Services. Quinte Conservation indicated on December 13, 2024, that it had no objection to the rezoning and consent applications as presented. They noted that a permit under O. Reg. 41/24 would be required for any development and site alteration within 30 metres of the 1:100-year flood plain of Fourteen Island Lake, and within 45 metres of the seasonal highwater mark/top of bank adjacent to the waterbody/wetlands. Discussion/Analysis The proposed zoning by-law amendment was assessed against the applicable policies of the Provincial Planning Statement 2024, County of Frontenac Official Plan, and Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, as well as the provisions of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75 as amended. The PPS and County Official Plan speak to permitting the management and use of resources on Rural lands, as well as resource-based recreational uses and development that are sensitive to the surroundings. The upland portion of the subject property is designated Rural and the wetlands are designated Environmental Protection in the Township Official Plan. The Township Official Plan permits a wide range of uses in the Rural designation including conservation and limited service residential. The type and amount of development on ‘Rural’ lands must maintain the rural character, natural heritage, and cultural landscape in the Township. Environmental Protection designated lands are limited to uses such as conservation, wildlife management, passive recreation and private open space. Development and site alteration may only be permitted if it is demonstrated that there would be no negative impacts on the natural features or their ecological functions. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

The property is in the RLSW-1 zone. This site-specific residential zone requires the property to have a minimum 24.7 acre (10 hectare) lot area. It also places restrictions on building locations without written approval of the Napanee Regional Conservation Authority and the Ministry of Natural Resources. This zone reflects zoning that was established in Portland Township By-law 90-37 when the cottage was originally proposed. The proposed waterfront lot would contain the existing cottage. It would be 9 acres in area, which is greater than what is required by the Official Plan for new lot creation. The by-law will require a minimum 8 acre lot area to prohibit further land division. The specified lot area is one acre less than what is proposed to provide a margin of error when surveying the lands. The lot would have reduced frontage on Little Dear Lane because the lot is on a culde-sac at the end of the lane and due to the close proximity of the wetland. This maintains the overall intent of the Official Plan for frontage requirements, as required by section 5.7.4((ii)(a). The proposed severed lot (“wetland lot”) would be vacant and have a significant amount of frontage on the lane. The proposed by-law would restrict uses to conservation uses and a woodlot. Buildings would be excluded for two reasons. First, there does not appear to be a compliant building location. Second, because the property has frontage on a private lane. Section 6.12 of the Township Official Plan and section 5.25 of Zoning By-law 2003-75 do not permit a building permit to be issued for a property on a private lane unless the property is a lot of record and is in a limited service residential zone (i.e. RLS, RLSW or RLSI). The proposed zone is similar to a previous zone that applied to the property through Portland Township By-law 89-08, when the subdivision was created. It will maintain the intent of the original by-law, and of the current Official Plan. Environmental Protection The PPS states that natural features and areas shall be protected for the long term. The County Official Plan and the Township Official Plan, in accordance with the PPS also do not permit development and site alteration in and adjacent to several types of significant natural features and areas unless it has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or their ecological functions. The Township’s Environmental Protection (EP) designation applies to the wetlands on the property. The Official Plan also references an Environmentally Sensitive overlay or subdesignation (section 5.2). This overlay identifies lands which should be developed in an environmentally sensitive manner and/or protected and preserved in the long term. Development may be permitted in these Environmentally Sensitive Areas in accordance with the underlying land use designation while having regard for the environmental policies of the Official Plan. The boundaries of the EP designation serve as the basis for the implementing the Comprehensive Zoning By-law. The original Schedules of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75 identify an Environmental Sensitive Lands overlay that corresponds to the EP designation on the subject property. Section 5.37.1 of the Zoning By-law indicates that development www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

and site alteration may take place in these areas subject to an environmental impact assessment (EIA) and in accordance with the underlying zone requirements. An EIA was not required in support of the application because the waterfront lot is developed, and no development is proposed on the wetland lot. In addition, the proposed amendment would restrict uses of the wetland lot to conservation uses and a woodlot, and prohibit buildings. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed Zoning By-law amendment is consistent and conforms to the PPS 2024, the County of Frontenac Official Plan, and the South Frontenac Official Plan, and represents good planning for the subject property.

2024 Development Charges Reporting
Report Number:
2025-042
Summary This report provides a status update on the 2024 Development Charges Reserve. Recommendation This Report is for information purposes only. Background Bill 73 (Smart Growth for our Communities Act, 2015) amendments to the Development Charges Act (DCA), 1997, came into force on January 1, 2016. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) states that the legislation aims to “help municipalities recover more costs for growth-related infrastructure and enhance transparency and accountability”. The changes include additional reporting to Council on the year-end development charges reserve. Discussion/Analysis The 2024 Development Charges Reserve had an opening balance of $2,135,712.18 and closing balance of $1,066,135.61. Development charges revenue collected during the year were $735,090.00 (residential $611,276.64 and commercial/ industrial $123,813.36). Interest income was $247,788.29 on the reserve, comprised of earnings of bank interest and investment interest income and market adjustments. The percentage allocation of these revenues is based on By-law 2024-53. The following projects had expenses using Development Charges Reserves: Project 22-17 22-43 23-08 23-46B
