Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment Z-l 1/13, to permit the keeping of backyard hens on rural lots smaller in size than three acres Carried.
(a) Proposed Temporary Use By-law Z-ll/10, Concession IV, Part of Lot 4, District of Portland (Day) Lindsay Mills explained that an application has been submitted for a temporary use by-law to permit a 47acre portion of land to be used for motocross vehicle raciag and accessory trailer camping, both to occur on an occasional basis. He noted that there will be a site plan required to control the uses specified. He noted that currently the applicant does not have the proper legal access to cross over the K & P Trail and Cataraqui Trail as this
Minutes of Council nd
August 2na, 2011
had been a requirement of the CRCA to create this easement. He noted that
according to the applicant the use would involve motorcycle dirt bike racing (motocross) and ATV racing. Also, grass drag events would be held where snowmobiles and ATV’s compete in drag events. The by-law is proposed to be in effect for 12 months which would permit a total of four events to take place. These events would be scheduled and advertised weeks in advance of the event.
Councillor Stowe commented that if the temporary use by-law is approved what is being achieved and what measures are in place to monitor the use. He also questioned what references there are to race tracks in the Official plan.
Lindsay Mills noted that Council has suggested providing a trial period although he has recommended denial. Mr. Mills stated that there is no
specific reference in the Official Plan to race tracks the door is left open for it provided it is demonstrated that these will be minimal effects to the surrounding properties.
Councillor Stowe commented that those who support this use Uve outside of the municipality.
Lindsay Mills indicated that as a result of the comments he has received, those in support of the race track live outside of the township and those against reside within the township and the surrounding property to the subject lands.
Councillor Robinson questioned why Council was going through this process if the matter was going to be deferred. Mayor Davison reminded Councillor Robinson that a public meeting is required by the Planning Act.
Councillor Vandewal referred to letters to the editor and references to poor vision. He noted that any township would have to deal with motocross
racing as it comes forward. He noted that personally he would only support one event per year and agreed that it would be a good idea for Council to
see this for themselves. He noted that the snow drags are grandfathered in and are not part of the issue.
Bill Hartwick who lives at 3574 Harrowsmith Road questioned the number of letters from outside the township that are in favour of this event. Lindsay Mills stated that property owners within 120 metres of the subject property were notified and that signs were posted at the property and advertising in the local newspaper has taken place. He noted that anyone can comment.
Bill Hartwick asked if there are any by-laws regarding the decibel levels. Lmdsay Mills stated that both the noise by-law and property standards bylaw are in place.
Bill Hartwick noted that he is in favour of the use. He questioned what the impact would be if Mr. Day sold the property to a pig farmer and what the impact might be to the surrounding properties. Lindsay Mms stated that the subject property is zoned agriculture and recognized that some farm odours can be offensive.
Jenn Scott presented an updated petition against the temporary use by-law. She noted that the Official Plan and Provincial Policy Statements do not
2

August 2na, 2011
support this type of use. She stated that all comments previously submitted are still valid with respect to this application. She submitted a binder with all of the groups concerns itemized. Keith LavaUee, 2114 Washburn Road, stated that he has talked to some
Council members about this issue and he felt the matter was spiralling out
of control. He started motocross racing last year. He noted that the track is groomed and watered down. He felt that the practices times were scheduled at good times and that people are going to other tracks the rest of the time.
This track gives racers the opporhinity to get into the circuit and an opportunity for kids who can’t afford to go to other tracks. He felt that Mr.
Day has done everything legal and above board and that two events per year is not asking for much. He felt this track is great for kids and for the community.
Paul Bell, RR 3 Uarrowsmith, noted that he has been a youth volunteer with a football association and was required by law to provide a police check. He felt the McGuire operation is a sport and is not meeting this requirement of a police check on their workers.
Eric Kirkham, 3310 Amey Road, stated that he missed the first couple of public meetings regarding this property. He was mainly concerned with the noise and the effects on the hearing of those individuals watching these racing events. He noted that he spent 40 years working in a noisy environment and cautioned that it is the noise you can’t hear that does the damage.
Mayor Davison responded that it is the responsibility of the children’s parents to be concerned about the impact of their hearing.
Doug Pixley, 3005 Wilson Road, questioned where the water is coming from to water down the race track and keep the dust under control. Mayor Davison acknowledged that where the water is coming from is a concern however he noted that Mr. Day’s property does have frontage on Millhaven Creek.
Andre Sauvc, 1041 Peters Road, commented that he lives across the road
from the Day property and is not complaining about the use. He noted that he is 200 - 300 yards away from the track. He felt that kids are getting an opportunity for a legitimate use and recognized that people are allowed to drive these types of vehicles on their own property. He felt that the concerns regarding sound levels need to be measured from the area of the complaint. He commented that he hears Harley Davidson motorbikes on Harrowsmith Road and should they be banned due to the noise volume, the same as jet skis being used on lakes and the noise they emit make also annoy cottage owners.
Bill Day stated that he has a registration number on file. He welcomed Council to stop by and see the site and attend an event. He felt the one year temporary use would be good for both sides.
Mayor Davison reminded Mr. Day that a deed indicating the approved easement has been registered on title to his property is required and that the
township needs proof of that registration before the temporary use by-law can be considered.
Mel Therien asked Council to come to his property and listen to the noise of the track.
Joe Green, Parham, felt that Mr. Day has done everything that has been requested to accommodate concerns.
Minutes of Council nd
August 2na, 2011
Councillor Vandewal referred to Committee of Adjustment decisions and
that no approval is granted until all documents are on file with the Planning Department and that this should be treated in the same manner.
Councillor Stowe asked if the confirmation of the required registration on title is received will this be brought back to tfae next council meeting. Wayne Orr, Chief Administrative Officer, explained that there will not be any vote on tMs matter and that there is a resolution prepared indicating that the planning report and all comments will be received.
(b) Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment Z-ll/11, Concession IX, Part of Lot 7, District of Storrington, (Freeman) Lindsay Mills explained that the purpose ot this application is to rezone a proposed new residential lot that requires an increased side yard setback to ensure that any new residence is located as far as possible from a farm operation. He noted that it was necessary to apply the MDS formula to calculate the setback. A 65 metre setback has been required as a reasonable setback from the mink farm use. Mr. Mills read a letter submitted by John and Delorcs Freeman who are adjacent property owners and they are requesting the same 65 metres setback from their property as they also have a farming facility on their property. He suggested that the 65 metre setback should follow through to the south to address all of the concerns. Councillor Stowe questioned where the 65 metre requirement had come from. He asked if the farm could be seen from the proposed new lot and if anything would be registered on title that the property is in close proximity to a mink farm.
Lindsay Mills stated that the 65 metre setback was an arbitrary number. Mr. Mills indicated that there will be a reqiurement to have the proximity of
the mink farm registered on title to this property. He also noted that there will still be lots of room for the building envelope while still maintaining the setback for both farming facilities. Councillor York felt this was the best possible solution for this application. Councillor McPhail felt the location of the neighbouring farm operation should be confirmed as well as the zoning. The applicant confirmed the location of the neighbours’ farm and confirmed that it was in fact hens kept in cages. Lindsay Mills suggested that instead of the 65 metre setback from the property line, we should say 65 metres from any farm facility. This would
satisfy the applicant and the neighbour. Council appeared to agree with this.
There were no comments from the public. (c) Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment Z-ll/12, Concession X, Part of Lot 2, District of Storrington, (Grant/Campbell) Mr. Mills explained that the purpose of this application is to rezone a portion of land that was the subject of a lot addition and that the added portion must be rezoned to match the zoning of the waterfront lot that it is being attached to. He noted that the Official Plan refers to irregular shaped lots so the lot addition will not improve the overall shape of the lot but it should be evaluated on its own merits. There will not be any physical

Minutes of Council nd

changes on the ground to this site but there will now be enough space for a proper septic system.
Councillor Vandewal agreed that the site is exactly as indicated on the attachments shown.
Councillor Stowe questioned the existing septic system in place and that he
was okay with the irregular shaped lot.
Councillor McPhail asked if the lot addition is vacant land. Mr. Mills confirmed that it was vacant land.
There were no comments from the public.
(d) Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment Z-ll/13, to permit the keeping of backyard hens on rural lots smaller in size than three acres
Mr. Mills explained that the purpose of this amendment would amend the
Comprehensive Zoning By-law to permit the keeping of up to ten hens on properties that are less in size than three acres but greater than two acres; presently no farm animals are permitted on any lots less than three acres in
size. The keeping of the hens are for meat and egg purposes only. Councillor Vandewal stated that 10 hens on two acres is still a big chunk and felt this would not be invasive. He was supportive of this change. Councillor Stowe asked Mr. Mills if the written complaint process will be followed regarding any violations.
Mr. Mills confirmed that written complaints will continue to be required. Anna Palcyznski, 4407 Bellrock Road, hoped for permission to allow livestock on properties less than two acres. She noted that other municipalities are allowing this.
Darlene Slack, 4403 Bellrock Road, was supportive of allowing hens on smaller properties. She stated that there is more noise from passing traffic.
Responding to the reference of what other municipalities allow, Mayor Davison noted that the City of Kingston is only allowing 6 hens. Meredith Mackenzie, 1026 CUffside Drive, suggested that Council consider hens as pets and not livestock and therefore they could be subject to licensing.
CeUna WiUis, 3771 Latimer Road, spoke on behalf of Local 316 of the National Farmers Union and indicated that they felt this amendment was too restrictive. She noted that residents will use the waste for composting and in their gardens. Jeff Peters, 3683 Morcland-Dixon Road, felt that one acre was more reasonable. He noted that agriculture is an important part of this community and felt that Council should be encouraging agriculture to keep
it viable m the community. He felt there have not been many complaints about residents who are already keeping livestock on small parcels of land and that a two year trial should be given to South Frontenac residents
similar to the City of Kingston. He felt that the keeping of hens is a huge benefit to young children and noted the value in the learning process. He noted that the keeping of hens will not be allowed in hamlets or waterfront lots.

Councillor Vandewal noted that it does not say hens are not allowed in
hamlets. While he does not condone the practice, he recognized that it is happening and that the amendment was a good compromise as this is what
Council approved for the lot size. He felt it should be recognized that South Frontenac does not have a full time By-law Enforcement Officer. Councillor Stowe suggested looking at permitting hens on smaller lots.
Councillor McPhail stated that he does not have any problem with reducing it to one acre however it will be a Council decision.
Councillor Robinson suggested leaving it this way and that those who offend should pay for the consequences.
Lindsay Mills noted that there are some properties within the hamlet areas that are zoned rural and would be permitted hens if they are large enough. Resolution No. 2011-26-03

Livestock Valuations
Councillor Vandewal referred to the price increased and felt it would be cheaper to bring in a bounty. He felt the compensation was out of line.

(c) Report from Lindsay Mills, Planning Coordinator, re: Proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment in Part of Lot 1, Concession III, Portland District See By-laws 2011-46 and 2011-47
Lindsay Mills referred to the public meeting held on June 21st and the requirement for a site plan. He reminded Council that currently the entire parcel permits a sawmill operation. He noted that there had been concerns expressed by neighbours regarding the hours of operation for the sawmill.
Councillor McPhail asked if it was normal practice to approve the by-law for rezomng prior to the site plan being registered. Lindsay Mms stated that he does have a letter of agreement to register the site plan.
Councillor Vandewal noted that the original site plan had not been registered.
Councillor McDougall questioned the potential for another sawmill. Lindsay Mills explained that if the property is not rezoned then a sawmill would be permitted on the new lots.

(d) Report from Lindsay IVBUs, Planning Coordinator, re: Review of application for Site Plan approval in Part of Lot 23, Concession III, Storrington District (See By-law 2011-49)
Lindsay Mills explained that residents across the lake from the subject property had appealed the decision to the Ontario Municipal Board as they felt the new lots would disturb the pristine view of the lake. The Ontario Municipal Board ruled that the township is to provide the appellant with copies of all applications for site plan approval to allow them opportunity to comment on its wording prior to council’s approval. He noted that he has
received a letter from Mr. Hunt indicating that he was okay with the proposed site plan.
Lindsay Mills asked the applicant if the site plan has been registered yet. Councillor McPhail stated that there needs to be some clarify in this process with respect to the registration requirement of site plans as it related to rezonmg .
(e) Report from Mark Segsworth, Public Works Manager, re: Tender #2011-10 Guiderail Installation
Mark Segsworth spoke to this report noting his recommendation for the tender.
Councillor McPhail asked about the completion of the work and if other work will be done given the amount budgeted for this program. Councillor Vandewal felt that if there is money left over from what has been budgeted for the guiderail installation it should stay in that specific budget and not used to balance the overall roads budget. Mark Segsworth explained that this item is within the approved road construction budget but noted that there are more significant needs than what have been identified.
Deputy Mayor Tinlin questioned the timeframe for completion. Mark Segsworth stated that the contractor should be ready to go in later summer or early fall. Resolution No. 2011-26-09

Report from Mark Segsworth, Public Works Manager, re: Waste Disposal Site Integration Mark Segsworth explained that historically the waste disposal sites have been operated independently. He felt this was a good opportunity to review the services provided and look at the hours of operation. He felt that AECOM is the preferred supplier as they have been contracted to oversee the township waste disposal sites for a number of years. Councillor McDougall questioned the selection of this company and if we
should be following the procurement policy to tender out this work. Mark Segsworth felt there was value in having the company that is already knowledgeable about our sites and operations. Councillor McPhail asked what occurs at the $16,000.00 identified in the report.
Mark Segsworth stated that the project is not to exceed $16,000.00. Deputy Mayor Tinlin questioned the reference to the Green Bay site being nearly full. He thought there had been reference in AECOM presentation regarding the waste disposal sites that there is still a number of years left at that site.
Mark Segsworth agreed to confirm the number of years left on the Green Bay site.
Mayor Davison thought that there was about 22 years left collectively in Bedford District landfill sites. Resolution No. 2011-26-11

August 2na, 2011
Councillor Vandewal commented on this project being over budget recognizing that some funding will be from the gas tax. He wondered about the value of the Piccadilly yard.
Mark Segsworth noted that there has not been any money spent on maintaining the Piccadilly facility. There has been some interest expressed by various businesses with regard to this site. He stated that in reviewing all public works facilities he felt it is more cost effective not to use this yard.
Councillor Vandewal felt that the township should try to sell the Piccadilly yard in order to offset the salt management at other yards.
Councillor York agreed with Councillor Vandewal about seUing the KccadUly Yard. He questioned the shape and structure of the new building at Hartington. Mark Segsworth stated that it will be similar to the building at the Keeley Road yard.
Councillor Robinson asked about the lifespan of the salt domes. He felt there were good for another 15 years as the roof was not leaking. Mark Segsworth noted that the Piccadilly yard was downloaded to South Frontenac as part of the Road 38 responsibility. He noted that these bmldings do not last very long but there may be some Ufe left with the domes at Piccadilly. He informed Council that there is no capacity for the storage of winter stock other than at the Keeley Road site and reminded them of the township’s responsibility for salt management. He also commented that there is a need to focus on managing the facilities more effectively. Councillor York asked how long it will take to construct this building. Mark Segsworth indicated that the construction will commence in August and be completed by December. Deputy Mayor Tinlin felt that Council should be able to provide direction to dispose of this property.
Councillor Vandewal stated that this site is still required for another year. He questioned the future expansion at the Bedford Patrol yard to accommodate the future needs in that district He also asked if serious
consideration had been given to moving to the Piccadilly site. Mayor Davison suggested that contact could be made with a commercial realtor to determine the market value of this property. Resolution No. 2011-26-12
Moved by Councillor McPhail
Seconded by Councillor York
THAT Council approves the proposal of Storage Systems Construction (RFP-PO-2011) for the construction of the Hartington Sand/Salt Storage Facility, excluding deferred items and HST, in the amount of $735,240.00. Carried.

and specifications for the installation of the permanent lighting. He noted that there will be additional costs for the electrical cable and conduit and
indicated that the objective is to solicit contributions in kind for the
trenching and installation of cable, conduit, poles and lights. There will be minimal disruption at the site. Councillor Vandewal indicated that he did not like the tone of the school
board and felt the purpose of installing the lights was mainly for theubenefit.
Councillor McDougall asked who will be managing this project and if there is work required for the pump.
Mark Segsworth indicated that the Public Works Department will be overseeing this project. He explained that the underground services need to be addressed but the installation of the lights will not disturb the underground services.
Councillor McDougall questioned the status of the negotiations with the school board.
Wayne Orr indicated that a meeting has not yet been scheduled as the school board has changed their priorities somewhat. Councillor Naish noted that there was $150,000.00 in the capital budget for this project. He questioned the cost of the lights and if that included installation.
Wayne Orr stated that pricing still needs to be determined for the conduit and electrical cable and that the price is not for installation. Mark Segsworth stated that he estimated the cost for the conduit and
electrical cable at around $30,000.00 and that they are hoping to get the trenching done as contributions in kind.
Councillor Vandewal felt there was no way this project could go over budget.
Wayne Orr noted that the fundraising money is not included. Mark Segsworth commented that this field is a multi use field and not just a football field.
Councillor Vandewal commented that maybe the school board will help with the improvements to the irrigation system. Resolution No. 2011-26-13

(k) Report from Mark Segsworth, Public Works Manager, re: Speed Analysis on Round Lake Road; Scanlan Road and Ruttedge Road See By-law 2011-51
Mark Segsworth stated that council previously adopted the Canadian Guidelines for EstabUshing Posted Speed Limits. He noted the support of the Public Works Services Committee for this issue and that Staff Sergeant Ouellette of the Frontenac OPP is also supportive of the recommendation.
Councillor McPhail referred to the report with respect to the concept of introducing a township wide 60 kilometres per hour speed limit unless otherwise posted. He hoped that Council understood the secondary recommendation of a flat policy for other roads. He felt this would limit and
reduce work for the Public Works Department.
Deputy Mayor Tinlin commented that there is always concern for speeding. He agreed that the OFF won’t charge drivers on the 401 until they are exceeding 120 kilometres per hour. He cautioned the approach of lowering the speed limit throughout the township.
Councillor Vandewal asked that Railton Road be looked at to go to 60 kilometres from 50 kilometres.
Councillor Robinson questioned how many drivers will really slow down. Councillor McPhail felt hat a blanket policy on secondary roads will result in a different set of liabilities.
Mayor Davison noted that if there is no sign posted the speed limit is 80 kilometres.
Councillor Stowe was not in favour of reducing from 80 kilometres per hour to 60.
Councillor York stated that he was okay with what is in place now. Councillor Naish asked if we need to address every concern there is with regard to speeding. Mark Segsworth stated that this matter will be referred back to the Public
Works Services Committee noting that staff needs to have clear direction on how to proceed

better way of managing The Bubba Bowl with emphasis on controlling the movement within the area to deter the consumption of alcohol.
Councillor Vandewal noted that he is not condoning alcohol but that it should be recognized that this is a family event. He questioned the school board controlling The Point for tMs event.
Wayne Orr indicated that Sydenham High School would be responsible for this event and the checking of baggage. Councillor McPhaU asked if this agreement was for an annual event.
