South Frontenac: a Climate Advisory Committee Page 5 of 185
South Frontenac Climate Action Committee. Why do we need one? • Extreme weather events will become more frequent, and more intense, each year- say the scientists. • South Frontenac covers 941 sq. km. with over 75 lakes, many rivers, wetlands and woodlands with a rich natural diversity to protect. It does not have urban pavement heat islands– but the climate crisis is happening here too. • South Frontenac needs emergency plans, but also to be PROACTIVE during this time of increasing severe storms, tornados, extreme heat, and flooding. • How can we lower our region’s carbon emissions? • How can our elected Mayor and Councilors be experts in all areas? Or keep up with reading all the latest information on the Environment and the Climate Crisis as well as all their other duties?

Public Meeting for Zoning By-law Amendment Application PL-ZBA-2022-0072 (Fitzgerald)(ZanderPlan), 15 Trout Lane
Summary This report provides Council with information about Zoning By-law Amendment Application PL-ZBA-2022-0072 for 15 Trout Lane. If approved, the zone on a portion of the subject lands would be changed from Rural (RU) to a property specific Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW-XX) zone. Consistent with Council’s Procedural By-law, Council will receive comments from the public on the application. 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 subject to consent application S-54-21-B for a new waterfront residential lot. Provisional approval of the consent application was granted subject to conditions by the Director of Development Services on November 19, 2021. One condition requires the severed parcel to be rezoned. The proposal is to change the zone on the severed parcel from Rural (RU) to a property specific Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW-XX) zone. This change is required to acknowledge that this waterfront property is accessed by a private lane and to acknowledge the 70 metres of waterfrontage on Canoe Lake. Under the Planning Act, a public meeting is required to be held to receive comments from the public on the proposed rezoning. The public meeting for this application will be a virtual public meeting using Zoom and telephone.

Discussion/Analysis Property Description The subject property is located to the west of Canoe Lake Road. Trout Lane runs through the subject property. The property is surrounded by large rural landholdings, some of which contain dwellings. The severed parcel (the lands to be rezoned) consists of approximately 5.06 acres of land and has approximately 90 metres of frontage on Trout Lane and approximately 70 metres of waterfrontage on Canoe Lake. The severed parcel contains an existing dwelling. There are developed, waterfront properties both to the north and south of the severed parcel. The retained parcel consists of approximately 92.75 acres of land and has approximately 537 metres of frontage on Canoe Lake Road. The retained parcel is developed with a single detached dwelling and accessory structures. The remainder of the retained parcel is predominately forested. Trout Lane runs through the retained parcel. Attachment 1 to this report shows the location of the subject property. Department, Agency and Public Comments Building Services and the Cataraqui Conservation did not provide comments on the rezoning application as they had no objections to the consent application. No comments have been received from members of the public on the re-zoning application to date. Preliminary Planning Analysis The proposed rezoning needs to be assessed against the applicable policies of the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, County of Frontenac Official Plan, and Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, as well as the provisions of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. The Provincial Policy Statement (2020) allows growth and development to be directed to rural lands, including locally appropriate residential lot creation (section 1.1.5). The County of Frontenac Official Plan and the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan also permit residential development in the Rural designation. The Director of Development Services had consideration for the 2020 PPS as well as the County and Township Official Plans in the decision to grant provisional approval to the consent application for a new residential lot.

Page 46 of 185 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZBA-2022-0072 (Fitzgerald)(ZanderPlan), 15 Trout Lane
Section 5.7.7 of the Township Official Plan requires the frontage, size and shape of any lot created for limited service residential purposes through the severance approval process to be appropriate for the proposed use and to conform to the provisions of the zoning by-law. A minimum lot area of one hectare with a minimum of 91 metres of water frontage and 76 metres of frontage on a private road is required. Section 5.7.7(ii)(a) indicates that the Township may consider reductions to the minimum frontage requirements provided the overall intent of the Official Plan is maintained. The severed parcel is 5.06 acres in size, which exceeds the required minimum lot area. It also has 90 metres of frontage on Trout Lane. The severed parcel will have all of the available waterfrontage (70 metres) of the subject property. The waterfrontage of the severed parcel is a remnant section of shoreline from historical severances. The intent of minimum waterfrontage is to ensure safe boating access, to provide distance separation between parcels to avoid overdevelopment of the waterfront. The reduction in waterfrontage on the severed parcel would maintain the overall intent of the Official Plan. No negative impact is expected to safe boating access and the appearance of the waterfront as the severed parcel is already developed with a dwelling. The retained parcel will have no waterfrontage. The retained parcel will continue to function as a developed, rural property with frontage on a public road, per the Rural zone. The severed parcel is zoned Rural. The parcel needs to be rezoned to Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW) in order to recognize that the parcel would be a waterfront property accessed by a private lane. This would ensure that zoning provisions can be properly applied should the owner propose to make modifications to the existing dwelling or to construct any new accessory buildings in the future. The RLSW zone on the severed parcel must include special provisions to acknowledge the deficient waterfrontage of the parcel. The parcel would have 70 metres of waterfrontage on Canoe Lake. The proposal to rezone the lands through this application is consistent with the 2020 PPS as well as the County and Township Official Plans and Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. Attachment 2 to this report is a draft by-law.

Summary This report provides Council with information about Zoning By-law Amendment Application PL-ZBA-2022-0055 for 2858 Beach Nut Road. If approved, the zone on the subject lands would be changed from Rural (RU) to property specific Waterfront Residential zones (RWXX, RW-YY, RW-ZZ). Consistent with Council’s Procedural By-law, Council will receive comments from the public on the application. Staff will then bring a more detailed report considering applicable policy and public comments, as well as provide a recommendation to Council on this application at a future meeting.
Recommendation This report is for information only.
Background The subject property is subject to consent applications S-87-21-S and S-88-21-S for two new waterfront residential lots. Provisional approval of the consent applications was granted subject to conditions by the Director of Development Services on April 8, 2022. A condition of both consents is that the severed and retained parcels be rezoned. The proposal is to change the zone on the severed parcels and the retained parcel from Rural (RU) to property specific Waterfront Residential (RW-XX, RW-YY, RW-ZZ) zones. This change is required to establish setbacks greater than 30 metres from the highwater mark as recommended in an Environmental Impact Assessment that was submitted in support of the consent applications. The RW zones would also restrict the permitted use on the parcels to residential. Under the Planning Act, a public meeting is required to be held to receive comments from the public on the proposed rezoning. The public meeting for this application will be a virtual public meeting using Zoom and telephone. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

There is a watercourse that runs through the subject property and is connected to River Styx. There is also a wide wetland along the waterfrontage. The subject property consists of a mix of forest, farmland and wetlands and slopes downward in elevation to the south & east. The subject property is developed with a single detached dwelling and an accessory structure. The severed parcel from application S-87-21-S (Lot 1) is located on the south-western portion of the subject property and consists of vacant land. There is also a wide wetland along the waterfrontage. Lot 1 consists of approximately 4 hectares (10 acres) of land with approximately 150 metres (492 feet) of frontage on Beach Nut Road and approximately 204 metres (669 feet) of water frontage on the River Styx. The severed parcel from application S-88-21-S (Lot 2) is located on the west side of the subject property and consists of vacant land. Lot 2 consists of approximately 4.5 hectares (11 acres) of land with approximately of 150 metres (492 feet) of frontage on Beach Creek Road and approximately 101 metres (331 feet) of water frontage on the River Styx. The retained parcel is approximately 27 hectares (67 acres) in area with approximately 406 metres (1332 feet) of frontage on Beach Nut Road, approximately 717 metres (2024 feet) of frontage on Bear Creek Road and approximately 336 metres (1102 feet) of water frontage on the River Styx. The retained lands contain a mix of forest, farmland, wetlands. There is a watercourse on the retained parcel that extends from Bear Creek Road and Beach Nut Road into the wetlands and to River Styx. The retained lands contain the existing buildings. It is the understanding of Township Staff that the applicant intends to build a new dwelling on the retained parcel. Attachment 1 to this report shows the location of the subject lands (see draft by-law schedule). Supporting Documentation The applicant submitted a Scoped Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in support of the consent applications (Ecological Services, dated October 4, 2021). The subject property was assessed for wetlands, woodlands, fish habitat, species at risk and significant wildlife habitat. An assessment of these natural features and their ecological functions was part of the EIA.

The EIA identified suitable building envelopes and locations for sewage systems on the severed parcels and the retained parcel that were not anticipated to impact species at risk and significant wildlife habitat, nor the water quality of River Styx. It recommended that due to topographical constraints the building and sewage system location on Lot 1 be at least 100 metres from River Styx and at least 140 metres from River Styx on Lot 2. Furthermore, the EIA recommended that any new sewage system on the retained parcel be located at least 70 metres from River Styx. The EIA also recommended that no buildings be permitted closer than the existing buildings on the retained parcel, which are currently about 40 metres from River Styx. Township staff and the Rideau Waterway Development Review Team were satisfied with the methodology and findings of the EIA relative to the creation of two residential lots. Department, Agency and Public Comments Public Services, Building Services (Septic System Review) and Rideau Waterway Development Review Team (RWDRT) did not provide comments on the rezoning application as they had no objection to the approval of the consent applications when they reviewed the consent applications in 2021. No comments on the re-zoning application have been received from members of the public to date. Preliminary Planning Analysis The proposed rezoning needs to be assessed against the applicable policies of the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, County of Frontenac Official Plan, and Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, as well as the provisions of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. The PPS 2020 allows growth and development to be directed to rural lands, including residential lot creation and development that is compatible with the rural landscape (section 1.1.5). The PPS promotes efficient land uses and development patterns that support strong, livable and healthy communities, protect the environment and public health and safety and facilitate economic growth. The County of Frontenac Official Plan and the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan also permit residential development in the Rural designation. The County Official Plan and the Township Official Plan, in accordance with the PPS, 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 and their ecological functions. This demonstration is typically done through an environmental impact assessment.

The Director of Development Services had consideration for the PPS 2020 as well as the County and Township Official Plans in the decision to grant provisional approval to consent applications S-87-21-S and S-88-21-S. The subject property is zoned Rural (RU). A condition of the consent approvals was to change the zone on the severed parcels to Waterfront Residential (RW) zones. Through the review of the rezoning application it was determined that the retained parcel should also be rezoned. The RW zone contains more stringent provisions that are applicable to waterfront properties with a frontage on a public road (e.g. minimum lot area, maximum lot coverage), and also limits the permitted uses to either a seasonal dwelling or a single detached dwelling. Each of the parcels require the RW zone to be property specific in order to implement the recommended setbacks for dwellings and sewage disposal systems as outlined in the Environmental Impact Assessment. The EIA recommended where development may occur on the severed parcels and the retained parcels. It recommended buildings and sewage systems on Lot 1 be setback a minimum of 100 metres from the highwater mark of the wetlands that are connected to River Styx and 140 metres on Lot 2. It also recommended a minimum 70 metre setback for a new sewage system and 40 metre setback for new buildings on the retained parcel. Requiring these setbacks through zoning will help to ensure that the proposed development would have no negative impacts on the wetlands that are connected to River Styx nor on their ecological functions. It also has consideration for potential impact on the water quality of River Styx. These setbacks are specified in the draft by-law (attachment 1). Additional mitigation measures recommended in the EIA, including maintaining areas of no disturbance (e.g. no tree removal), will be incorporated into development agreements registered against the titles of the severed parcels. The proposal to rezone the lands through application PL-ZBA-2022-0055 is consistent with the 2020 PPS as well as the County and Township Official Plans.

To: Council Prepared by: Office of the Clerk Date of Meeting: June 21, 2022 Subject: Noise By-law Background Information
Summary The following information report is being presented to Council in response to comments provided during the “Announcements/Statements by Councillors” portion of the May 3, 2022 Council Meeting related to the Noise By-law.
Recommendation This report is for information purposes.
Background The Township of South Frontenac Noise By-law came into effect on August 4, 2015. In general terms, the purpose of the By-law is to prohibit or regulate, the ringing of bells, blowing of horns, shouting and unusual noises, or noises likely to disturb the inhabitants within the municipality or within a defined area or areas. The By-law also grants a limited number of exemptions related to the emission of noise. Additionally, Schedule 1 of the Noise By-law provides further detailed information regarding prohibition periods. The purpose of this report is to provide general information, metrics as well as outline process improvements regarding the administration of the Noise By-law.
Discussion/Analysis Background Information regarding Noise By-law Complaints: An overview of Noise By-law complaints occurring between January 1, 2014 and June 1, 2022 is attached to this Report as Exhibit A. Due to available data, staff are unable to determine if the complaints outlined in Exhibit A represented events or activities that were in fact in contravention of the Noise By-law. However, the available data does provide information regarding the source of noise complaints as well as the number of occurrences of such complaints. This data is outlined in the following table: www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.
Page 74 of 185 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Noise By-law Background Information
Source of Noise: Loud Music General Noise Complaint Heavy Equipment/Construction/Tools Recreational Vehicles Gunfire Fire Works Party Rental Property - Noise Complaints Other
Number of Instances: 37 21 14 10 3 2 4 2 3
Although not the sole purpose of the review of the by-law, concerns had been raised in relation to short term rental accommodations. Based on the metrics available, it is not possible to determine the specific number of Noise By-law complaints generated by properties associated with short term rental accommodations. However, from a qualitative analysis standpoint, an assumption can be made that short term rental accommodations do not account for the majority of Noise By-law complaints occurring in the Township. Next Steps: Staff have met with Frontenac Municipal Law Enforcement to ensure that detailed information is provided moving forward regarding Noise By-law complaints. It is expected that detailed metrics will assist staff in assessing the Noise By-law as well as other enforcement by-laws from an effectiveness standpoint. Additionally, staff intend to conduct public consultation in the form of a survey to receive additional information regarding enforcement concerns. Following the review of the survey results and improved metrics, staff intend to report back to Council to provide a comprehensive review of Safe Properties, Noise By-law, Dog Licensing, Animal Control and Parking by-laws. In the interim, staff intend to report back to Council regarding amending the Noise By-law to include administrative monetary penalties as an enforcement measure. Key Enforcement Contact Information: The Township of South Frontenac has contracted municipal by-law enforcement services to Frontenac Municipal Law Enforcement. In order for enforcement matters to be effectively addressed, both residents as well as members of Council are strongly encouraged to submit enforcement concerns as follows: During Business Hours: Contact: Clerk’s Department; bylaw@southfrontenac.net or 613-376-3027 extension 2222.

Notice of Motion – Wireless Telecommunication System – Emergency Backup
Summary Councillor Sutherland filed a notice of motion requesting that staff provide a report to Council with information regarding the emergency backup system in place for the wireless telecommunication system and the related impact to residents. Additionally, the notice of motion seeks to notify government, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario as well as telecommunications regulators of this matter.
Recommendation Whereas many South Frontenac residents are losing wireless service whenever they lose power; and Whereas many of the transmission towers that provide this service were not damaged yet wireless service is lost; and Whereas power is often lost in times of emergency, like severe storms with high winds and rains; and Whereas wireless communication has become the main way our communities connect; and Whereas the lost of connection at times of emergency is a serious public health risk; Therefore Be It Resolved That South Frontenac inform federal and provincial governments, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and telecommunications regulators of this problem, and That staff report back to Council with what kind of backup power the wireless telecommunication system has, and, if possible, some estimation of how many residents in the Township are affected by this lack of emergency preparedness.

Award of Tender # PS-2022-09A – Battersea Road Reconstruction
Summary This report provides a recommendation for the award of contract for the reconstruction of Battersea Road from Burnt Hills Road to Bradden Lane and includes a request for a budget increase of $784,674.87 to be funded from various sources.
Recommendation That Council accept the bid from Len Corcoran Excavating Ld. in the amount of $3,097,113.00 plus HST for contract # PS-2022-09A – Battersea Road Reconstruction; And Furthermore That Council authorize a project budget increase in the amount of $784,674.87 be funded from: i)
the cancellation of the construction phase of the Opinicon Culvert Replacement Project # 22-19 in the 2022 Budget ($400,000), and
ii)
transfer of funds totalling $384,674.87 from Deferred Linear Capital Works Project # 22-31 included in the 2022 Budget.
Background On January 26th, 2021, Township Council approved the 2021 Budget which included the reconstruction of a 5.2km section of Battersea Road from Burnt Hills Road to Bradden Lane. The original reconstruction project described at that time included an estimated cost of $1.6 million dollars. The referenced section of Battersea Road had an OCI rating of 7.68/100 and had long passed its useful service life which was forecasted in 2013. These factors in combination made Battersea Road one of the top priorities for investment in the arterial network in the Asset Management Plan. In May of 2021, the Greer Galloway Group was retained to initiate the detailed design for the project and to reconfirm the project scope and cost. On May 18th, 2021, a report was brought forward to Council providing an update on the Battersea Road project and a www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.
Page 84 of 185 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Award of Tender # PS-2022-09A – Battersea Road Reconstruction
revised project cost of $2.8 million was presented at that time based on the recommendations from the Greer Galloway Group. Further recommendations also suggested that the project be advanced in 2022 given the very preliminary stages of the engineering design. At the conclusion of the report, Township Council approved the revised budget of $2.8 million. A copy of the staff report is included as Attachment A for reference. The detailed design work on the Battersea Road project continued through the fall and winter of 2021/2022. Other aspects of the project including utility relocations, property acquisitions and permits were also advanced early in 2022. On April 7th, 2022, the Township released the Battersea Road Project (PS-2022-09) for tender on Biddingo and advertised locally on the Township’s website. On April 27th, 2022, the tender closed with no bids received despite numerous bid takers. Shortly after the closing, the design team reached out to general contractors in the area to inquire about local market pressures. Key findings at the time were as follows: • • •
•
Some firms were under resourced or over-committed for the summer construction season; Tender closures at the City for competing major projects around the same time were creating resource pressures for some firms; Some firms who owned/operate quarries indicated that they did not have the large volumes of granular materials readily available in stock at this time. Many crushed and stockpiled materials were pre-committed otherwise; and Several bid takers indicated that they were not able to commit to completion date of September 30th, 2022, despite the offering of a twenty (20) week construction window.
After discussions with the CAO, staff moved to re-issue the project tender (PS-2022-09A) on May 12th with a revised completion date of July 31st, 2023. Under the new tender structure bidders would be granted a much larger construction window and would be permitted to carry out certain aspects of winter construction work at their choosing. All works were however to be staged in a manner that preserved a hard surface for winter operations. All other aspects of the second tender document were otherwise consistent with the original tender release.
www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.
Page 85 of 185 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Award of Tender # PS-2022-09A – Battersea Road Reconstruction
On June 1st, 2022, the tender period closed with a total of four (4) tender submissions received. The final results of the tender are listed below:
Supplier Coco Paving Inc. Crains Construction Ltd. K. Mulrooney Trucking Ltd. Len Corcoran Excavating Ltd.
Total (Inc. Net HST Rebate) $3,284,757.85 $3,453,860.38 $3,376,880.52 $3,151,622.19
All of the tenders were subsequently found to be complete and in compliance with the requirements of the procurement bylaw.
Discussion/Analysis Staff completed a detailed review of the Len Corcoran Excavating Ltd. bid submission and found their tender bid to be balanced. Bid costs were higher than anticipated at the time of the June 1st closing, however the impacts of inflation and global oil markets had a significant influence on the bid outcomes. Earlier in March of this year, the Township saw a sharp increase in the costs for the surface treatment program. Prices under that contract were approximately 24% above the 2021 rates. Average diesel prices at the time of the original budget forecast for the Battersea Road project were $1.23/L for the Kingston Region and these prices have since reached $2.27/L at the time of closing on June 1, 2022. Overall this represents a 84.5% increase in the cost for fuel on construction projects. A copy of the Monthly Average Retail Prices for Diesel has been included in Attachment B as published by Natural Resources Canada. Barring significant changes in the global oil markets, construction costs are expected to remain high for the balance of 2022. Staff are therefore of the view that the bids received on Battersea Road are reflective of current market conditions and that the project should proceed subject to Council’s review and approval of new funding sources. Len Corcoran Excavating has successfully completed similar projects in the area and otherwise has the experience and equipment resources to successfully carry out the project. It is therefore recommended that the low bid from Len Corcoran Excavating Ltd. be accepted and that the Township proceeds with the award of contract.

Financial Implications The 2021 Budget allowance for the overall project is $2,800,000. A detailed breakdown of the revised project budget is provided below:

$2,800,000.00 $784,674.87
Note all costs include Non Recoverable HST Staff have looked at the 2022 Capital Budget to explore off-setting savings and are currently recommending that the construction phase of the Opinicon Culvert Replacement Project # 22-19 ($400,000) be cancelled as a 2022 project. Based on the current market realities, staff believe a summer tender for this project is not likely to present viable outcomes. This project is actively being designed by H. P. Engineering and it is staff’s current recommendation that this project would be best suited for tender in early 2023 subject to the next budget approval. The remaining $384,674.87 required to fund this project could then be accessed from the Deferred Linear Capital Works Project # 22-31 budget of $552,500. This deferred linear capital was included in the 2022 budget (unallocated) based on the overall forecasted linear capital works budget in the long range financial plan for 2022. A copy of the corresponding budget sheets have been included as Attachment C for reference.

Climate Considerations ☐ Not applicable to this report. ☒ This initiative supports climate change mitigation/adaption efforts in South Frontenac; and/or impacts the Township’s resilience to climate change. When you examine the full lifecycle of any hard surfaced roadways the reconstructive stage will require the greatest energy demand and will generate the greatest construction cost. The overall effort to strip or pulverize a hard surfaced roadway, import new raw aggregate materials and place new emulsified asphalt products requires significant labour, equipment and material resources. This activity also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions through heavy equipment use, aggregate extraction/production, oil demand/refinement and asphalt production. As part of any climate adaptation strategy the Township must access and utilize available tools to extend the service life of its’ roadway assets and therefore collectively reduce the impact of emissions generated by traditional reconstructions. The Battersea Road Reconstruction project is currently beyond the stage of rehabilitation at this time and a reconstruction effort is therefore unavoidable at this point. Design approaches used on the project will continue to follow best practices by limiting the volume of spoil materials hauled off site. The project will also utilize geotextiles in select areas of the road design to manage sub-grade conditions and otherwise reduce the demand for excessive volumes of new aggregate materials.

Battersea Road Reconstruction
SUBJECT: —
Budget Increase
Based on estimates by Greer Galloway, the approved budget of $1.6 million can only
Design and Current Budget
This stretch of Battersea Road is characterized by a narrow platform and gravel shoulders (combined lanes and shoulders of 7.0 m or less). It consists of several sharp corners with reduced visibilitydue to granite outcroppings, limited ditching, several locations where the roadway is constructed on the underlying bedrock with limited base material, and a section through a historically swampy area which requires structural improvements.
Existing Conditions
ANALYSIS:
The Township planned to tender the project this spring and Greer Galloway Group was hired to provide engineering design and contract administration for the project.
Since Battersea Road is an arterial road with an AADT of 529, and since growth is anticipated in the area along with increasing cycling tourism, the reconstruction was intended to be similar to the recently reconstructed Westport Road, with a widened platform and hard—surfaced shoulders.
While the Township hasn’t formalized road reconstruction standards, the capital detail sheet for the Battersea Road project (Attachment #1) provides details on the intended specifications.
The reconstruction of Battersea Road from Burnt Hills Road to Bradden Lane (5.2 km) was approved in January as part of the 2021 capital budget. This stretch of road exceeded its life expectancy in 2013 with an Overall Condition Index (OCI) of 7.68/100 and requires a full reconstruction in accordance with our Asset Management Plan.
BACKGROUND:
That Council approve an increase to the budget for capital project 21~R01 Battersea Road reconstruction from $1.6 million to $2.8 million to be funded by additional 2021 federal gas tax revenues ($568,491.87), development charges ($200,000), and the balance from the Asset Investment Reserve ($431,508).

o
The Township’s recent practice of upgrading arterial and higher—traffic,hardtopped roads to include paved shoulders The reduced maintenance costs associated with grading gravel shoulders Growing cycling and other traffic along Battersea Road Vehicular and cyclist safety improvements
Staff is recommending that Council approve an increase to the budget from $1.6 million to $2.8 million based on the following:
Recommendation
-
Rebuild this section of road to its current specification (existing widths/alignments, no paved shoulders) to keep it within the existing budget and reconstruct within the calendar year.
-
Build to the higher specification but reduce the length/scope of the project to keep it within the existing budget; since additional design work will still be required, a 2022 completion date is likely.
Should Council not wish to allocate the additional funds for this project, the following alternatives could be considered:
Alternatives
For this reason, Greer Galloway has recommended that the tender be issued with a completion deadline of June or July of 2022, to allow additional time and flexibility for bidders to complete the work, but still in time for early summer surface treating. Greer Galloway expects the longer timeframe will result in increased contractor interest and improved pricing.
If approved, the increased budget will result in additional design and survey work being before a construction tender could be issued. This would result in a midsummer tender award and very tight timelines for the completion of work before late September, being the latest that surface treating could take place.
Schedule
—
Based on these observations and a review of the specifications used in the Westport which has similar AADTs, Greer Galloway has estimated a Road reconstruction budget for reconstruction of $2.8 million (including a 15% contingency), which represents a $1.2 million increase from the current budget.
The wider platform also requires a survey of the road to determine if any property acquisitions are necessary to accommodate the widths, ditching and the potential for any utility pole relocations.

To: Council Prepared by: Office of the Chief Administrative Officer Date of Meeting: June 21, 2022 Subject: Desert Lake Cemetery
Summary A request has been received from the Desert lake Cemetery Board for the Township to assume ownership of the cemetery.
Recommendation That Council approve the transfer of ownership of the Desert Lake Cemetery and associated lands to the Township; and, That the costs required for the transfer of the land be paid from the Township.
Background The Desert Lake Cemetery Board has approached the Township requesting that we assume responsibility for the cemetery, which would include the cemetery license as well as the cemetery land. Attached is a copy of the letter received from the board as well as a map of the cemetery. The Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act (FBCSA) regulates cemeteries in the Province of Ontario, and is administered by the Bereavement Authority of Ontario.
Discussion/Analysis A court abandonment process would typically take place when a cemetery becomes abandoned for any reason (e.g. If the owner is unknown, the owner is unable to maintain the cemetery or if there is no licensed operator for the cemetery). Under the Act, if a cemetery is abandoned, the local municipality must become the owner and must take over all the assets, rights and obligations. However, the Ministry has advised that the Township could accept the transfer request from the Desert Lake Cemetery Board thereby avoiding the need to go through a court abandonment process. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

As a first step, the Township would transfer the separate licensing of the cemetery to its existing license number in order to take over the operations and records maintenance. The second step will be the transfer of the land where the cemetery is located. Staff’s preliminary assessment is that the Desert Lake Cemetery Board does own the land however the listed trustees on title have passed away several years ago. Staff have reached out to legal counsel on required next steps to transfer ownership. It is anticipated that the transfer the land would require minimal legal costs. Since the Township would be required under the act to assume the cemetery if it were abandoned, staff is recommending that the Township accept the requested transfer and associated costs.
Financial Implications The cost of the legal work required is estimated at less than $2,000. The annual cost for additional maintenance is estimated at $2,500 annually which mostly consists of grass cutting and seasonal maintenance. Revenue sources would flow from internment fees and interest from the Township’s perpetual care reserve and taxation.

To: Council Prepared by: Development Services Department Date of Meeting: June 21, 2022 Zoning By-law Amendment Application Subject: PL-ZBA-2022-0048, Judith Secker, Block A, Plan 544, Cedar Ridges Lane
Summary This report recommends that Council pass a by-law to change the zone on the subject lands from Open Space – Public (OS) to Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW) to permit residential uses to occur.
Recommendation THAT By-law 2022-55 to amend the zoning on the lands at Block A on Plan 544, Part of Lots 9, 10 and 11, Concession 1, District of Storrington, Township of South Frontenac be passed.
Background Council held a virtual public meeting under the Planning Act on June 14, 2022, on the proposed amendment to Zoning By-law 2003-75. This application is being brought forward to Council for a decision.
Discussion/Analysis Summary of Application The propose is to change the zone on the subject lands from Open Space – Public (OS) to Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW) to fulfill conditions of provisional approval of consent applications S-41-21-S, S-42-21-S, S-43-21-S, S-46-21-S, S-47-21-S, S-49-21-S and S-53-21-S for lot additions to seven undersized limited service residential waterfront properties. The RLSW zone would permit residential uses to occur on the enlarged lots.

Page 114 of 185 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZBA-2022-0048, Judith Secker, Block A, Plan 544, Cedar Ridges Lane
Property Description The subject property consists of Block A on Plan 544. The property contains Cedar Ridges Lane, and portions of Sandpiper Lane, Lark Lane, Heron Lane, Lucas Lane and Mockingbird Lane. These lanes are used to access 49 limited service waterfront residential properties on the West Basin of Loughborough Lake. In addition to the lanes, the open space consists of forested areas and rock outcrops. Related Applications The subject lands are also subject to Deeming By-law Application PL-LC-2022-0049 under the Planning Act. Since the consents involve lots and a block in a plan of subdivision, deeming by-laws will need to be passed so that the lot additions can be legally merged with the benefitting lands. Department and Agency Comments Public Services, Building Services and Cataraqui Conservation did not provide comments on the application due to the location of the lot additions and the nature of the proposed rezoning. Public Comments A virtual public meeting was held under the Planning Act on June 14, 2022. No comments were received from Councilors or members of the public at the meeting. Planning Analysis The proposed zoning by-law amendment was assessed against the applicable policies of the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, County of Frontenac Official Plan, and Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, as well as the provisions of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. The Director of Development Services had consideration for these planning documents in the decision to grant provisional approval to the consent applications for lot additions. Block A on Plan 544 is owned by all the owners of the lots in this plan of subdivision. These owners are party to an agreement that entitles the owners of Lots 13 to 49 to apply to have a portion of the Block severed and added to their individual properties. The agreement requires the rights-of-way to be maintained and to be assigned to each property owner. A majority of the owners have taken advantage of this agreement. The purpose of the lot additions is to enlarge each of the seven benefitting lands as envisioned by the private agreement registered on title, and to maintain the rights-of-way for other users of the private lanes that cross the lot addition lands. No development is proposed as part of these applications. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.
Page 115 of 185 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZBA-2022-0048, Judith Secker, Block A, Plan 544, Cedar Ridges Lane
All seven of the benefitting lands are deficient by the lot area, lot frontage and waterfrontage standards of the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw No. 2003-75. The enlarged lots will continue to be deficient by these standards but would be closer to compliance with the minimum lot area requirements. In some circumstances, enlarging the benefitting lands may facilitate development or redevelopment of the lots. The lot additions are zoned Open Space – Public (OS), while the benefitting lands are zoned Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW). The zone on the lot additions needs to be changed to RLSW to permit the intended residential uses of the enlarged lots. The remainder of Block A would continue to be zoned OS, and owned by all the owners in the plan of subdivision. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed zoning by-law amendment is consistent and conforms to the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, the County of Frontenac Official Plan, and the South Frontenac Official Plan, and represents good planning for the subject lands.
Financial Implications Not applicable.

Zoning By-law Amendment Application PL-ZBA-2022-0062, Automatx Inc., 4071 Hiawatha Lane
Summary This report recommends that Council pass a by-law to change the zone on the subject lands from Recreational Resort Commercial – Special Provision (RRC-4) to Limited Service Residential – Waterfront – Special Provision (RLSW-131) to permit residential development on waterfront property accessed by a private lane, to acknowledge a reduced waterfrontage, and to require a greater setback from the highwater mark.
Recommendation THAT By-law 2022-56 to amend the zoning on lands in Part of Lots 15 and 16, Concession 8, District of Storrington, Township of South Frontenac be passed.
Background Council held a virtual public meeting under the Planning Act on June 14, 2022, on the proposed amendment to Zoning By-law 2003-75. This application is being brought forward to Council for a decision.
Discussion/Analysis Summary of Application The proposal is to change the zone on the subject lands from Recreational Resort Commercial – Special Provision (RRC-4) to Limited Service Residential – Waterfront – Special Provision (RLSW-131) zone to fulfill a condition of provisional approval of consent application S-28-21-S. The RLSW-131 zone would permit residential development on waterfront property accessed by a private lane, to acknowledge the 24 metres and 40 metres of waterfrontages on Dog Lake, and to establish a minimum 40 metre setback from the highwater mark.

Property Description The subject property is located on Hiawatha Lane, which is off Ormsbee Road. Hiawatha Lane, Hood Lane and Hewett Lane cross the property. Several waterfront properties are accessed from these lanes. The subject property is approximately 21 hectares in area, and has multiple separate frontages on Dog Lake. A tourist establishment, consisting of two cottages and two accessory buildings, is established on the subject property in compliance with the RRC-4 zone. The severed parcel (the lands to be rezoned) consists of approximately 6.4 hectares of vacant land. It has approximately 551 metres of frontage on Hiawatha Lane. Hood Lane runs through the severed parcel. A wide bedrock ridge runs parallel to Dog Lake on the north side of Hood Lane. The severed parcel has approximately 40 metres of frontage on Dog Lake north of Hood Lane. The shoreline consists of an exposed bedrock outcrop. There are bedrock outcrops, as well as land with a gentler slope on the south side of Hood Lane. The severed parcel has approximately 24 metres of frontage on Dog Lake south of Hood Lane. This waterfrontage is located at the mouth of a small watercourse/wetland. The retained parcel consists of the balance of the property. The tourist establishment, consisting of two cottages and two accessory buildings, remains on the retained parcel. These buildings are setback a minimum of 50 metres from the highwater mark of Dog Lake. Department and Agency Comments Building Services and the Rideau Waterway Development Review Team (RWDRT) had no objection to the consent application. RWDRT confirmed that the rezoning application satisfies their recommendation that future development on the severed parcel be required to be setback a minimum 40 metres from the highwater mark of Dog Lake. Public Comments A virtual public meeting was held under the Planning Act on June 14, 2022. No comments were received from members of the public at the meeting. Councilor Sutherland asked whether the Township could limit the number of docks that would be permitted on the severed parcel through zoning. Planning staff clarified that the RLSW zone permits a dock (i.e. one dock), subject to approval from the appropriate authority. Parks Canada regulates the number and placement of docks and other marine facilities with consideration for water depth and aquatic species at risk. Parks Canada permits one dock on a residential property.

Page 121 of 185 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZBA-2022-0062, Automatx Inc., 4071 Hiawatha Lane
Planning Analysis The proposed zoning by-law amendment was assessed against the applicable policies of the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, County of Frontenac Official Plan, and Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, as well as the provisions of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. There are two main policy themes that apply to the proposal. These are limited service residential development and development near an environmentally sensitive area. The Provincial Policy Statement (2020) allows growth and development to be directed to rural lands, including resource-based recreational uses, as well as residential lot creation and development that is compatible with the rural landscape (section 1.1.5). The County of Frontenac Official Plan and the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan also permit residential development in the Rural designation. The Committee of Adjustment had consideration for these planning documents and policies in the decision to grant provisional approval to the consent application for a new residential lot. The severed parcel is zoned Recreational Resort Commercial – Special Provision (RRC-4). The parcel needs to be rezoned to Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW) in order to recognize that the parcel would be a waterfront property accessed by a private lane, and to permit a residential use on the parcel, per Section 6.12 of the Township Official Plan and section 5.25 of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. The RLSW zone on the severed parcel must include special provisions to acknowledge the 24 metres and 40 metres of waterfrontages on Dog Lake, and to establish a minimum 40 metre setback from the highwater mark, as discussed below. Section 5.7.7 of the Township Official Plan requires the frontage, size and shape of any lot created for limited service residential purposes through the severance approval process to be appropriate for the proposed use and to conform to the provisions of the zoning by-law. A minimum lot area of one hectare with a minimum of 91 metres of water frontage and 76 metres of frontage on a private road is established. Section 5.7.7(ii)(a) indicates that the Township may consider reductions to the minimum lot size and frontage requirements provided the overall intent of the Official Plan is maintained. The severed parcel, with an area of 6.4 hectares exceeds the required minimum lot area. It also exceeds the minimum frontage required on a private lane. However, the severed parcel is deficient in waterfrontage as the waterfrontage would consist of remnant sections of shoreline from historical severances. There is no contiguous waterfrontage that meets the minimum 91 metre length required for the severed parcel.

Minimum waterfrontages are required in order to ensure safe boating and swimming conditions, to avoid an overdeveloped appearance, and to help ensure a reasonable separation between residential uses. In their review of the consent application, the RWDRT recommended a minimum 40 metre setback from the highwater mark for future development on the severed parcel based on the Assessment of Municipal Site Evaluation Guidelines for Waterfront Development in Eastern Ontario’s Lake Country (Hutchinson Environmental Ltd., 2014). These site evaluation guidelines can be used to implement section 5.2.7(b)(ii)(1) of the Official Plan, which intends that newly created lots which have a steep slope, minimal woody vegetation cover, thin soils and/or soils with poor phosphorus retention, may require a setback of 90 metres from the highwater mark. The site evaluation guidelines take into consideration site characteristics including soil texture and depth, slope and vegetation to determine an appropriate horizontal setback between development and the shoreline of lakes on the Precambrian Shield. Dog Lake is on the Precambrian Shield. The subject property has limited development options in its current configuration due to the number and location of historical waterfront residential lots that were created and the resulting remnant lengths of shoreline. Given the topography and location of Hood Lane on the severed parcel, applying a minimum 40 metre setback from the highwater mark would result in future development being located towards the middle of the parcel away from either of the waterfrontages. This would help avoid an overdeveloped appearance of the shoreline and help ensure a reasonable separation between residential uses. The Parks Canada - Rideau Canal Office regulates in-water or shoreline works, and would have consideration for water depth (i.e. safe boating) and potential aquatic species at risk in approval any such works. The severed parcel rationalizes the remnant lengths of shoreline, meeting the intent of the Official Plan regarding waterfrontage. It also represents good planning by addressing the overall development of the subject property in a way that is more viable over the long term. The retained parcel would continue to be zoned RRC-4. This would permit the existing tourist establishment to continue to operate in compliance with this zone. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed zoning by-law amendment is consistent and conforms to the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, the County of Frontenac Official Plan, and the South Frontenac Official Plan, and represents good planning for the subject property.

Zoning By-law Amendment Application PL-ZBA-2022-0066, Dieneen Lepp, 4989 Road 38
Summary This report recommends that Council pass a by-law to change the zone on the subject property to permit a secondary dwelling unit.
Recommendation THAT By-law 2022-57 to amend the zoning on lands known as 4989 Road 38, Part Block D, Plan 57, Part Lot 7, Concession 5, District of Portland, Township of South Frontenac be passed.
Background Council held a virtual public meeting under the Planning Act on June 14, 2022, on the proposed amendment to Zoning By-law 2003-75. This application is being brought forward to Council for a decision.
Discussion/Analysis Summary of Application The proposal is to change the zone on the subject property from Urban Residential – First Density (UR1) to Urban Residential – First Density – Special Provision (UR1-22) to permit a secondary dwelling unit on the property. The applicant proposes to convert a 1300 square foot detached garage to a secondary dwelling unit. Property Description The subject property is located on Road 38 in Harrowsmith. The property is 0.15 hectares (0.35 acres) in area and has approximately 45 metres of road frontage. There is an existing two-storey dwelling with an 1,100 square foot footprint on the property, as well as a detached garage and a small shed. The property is surrounded by residential properties, including one that contains a multiple unit dwelling. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.
Page 128 of 185 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZBA-2022-0066, Dieneen Lepp, 4989 Road 38
Department and Agency Comments Public Services has no objection to the approval of this application. They noted that the property has an established access onto Road 38, and the property is large and has a long driveway that would provide on-site parking available for two units. Building Services reviewed an application for the performance level of the existing sewage system on the property, and inspected the system. They noted that a larger septic tank would be required to accommodate the existing dwelling and the proposed secondary dwelling unit. They also noted that while the dispersal bed is older and may be nearing the end of its life, there is no evidence of failure. The dispersal bed is adequately sized for the proposal and does not need to be replaced at this time. There appears to be sufficient area on the property for a replacement sewage system when one is required. The owner obtained a permit and replaced the septic tank. The owner will need to submit a building permit application for the secondary dwelling unit if the rezoning application is approved by Council. Public Comments A virtual public meeting was held under the Planning Act on June 14, 2022. The applicant explained that the purpose of this application is to make an accessible apartment for her aging parents so that they can keep their independence but also be close so that she can care for them. Daniel Jutras and Jocelyn Martel, who own an adjacent property, spoke in favour of the application, noting that the secondary dwelling unit would not impact their property and that it is important for people to be able to care for their aging parents. Comments were received prior to the public meeting from the owners of a nearby property. The comments indicate they are opposed to the application based on concerns over the impact of the second residence on the existing septic system, and its potential to contaminate the aquifer from which they draw their potable water supply. It is the opinion of staff that these concerns were addressed as discussed below. Planning Analysis The subject property is zoned Urban Residential – First Density (UR1). The UR1 zone permits one dwelling per property. The proposed zoning by-law amendment was assessed against the applicable policies of the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, County of Frontenac Official Plan, and Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, as well as the provisions of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75.

Page 129 of 185 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZBA-2022-0066, Dieneen Lepp, 4989 Road 38
The Planning Act was amended in September 2019 by Bill 108 to permit additional residential units on a property which contains a detached house, semi-detached house or rowhouse. Two additional residential units may be permitted within these structures, and an additional residential unit may be permitted in a building or structure ancillary to the house on the same property. This amendment to the Planning Act, once implemented in an official plan and zoning by-law, supports the accommodation of affordable housing in local municipalities. Section 5.6.2 of the County of Frontenac Official Plan requires the Township Official Plan to permit additional residential units. While required to permit additional units, the Township retains control over the location, access and servicing required for these units. The Township Official Plan does not provide specific direction on how many dwellings or dwelling units may be permitted on a property. In this situation, one must look to the Planning Act and the Provincial Policy Statement for direction. As indicated above, the accommodation of affordable housing through additional residential units is required under the provisions of the Planning Act. In the absence of Official Plan policies, the Township looks to the information published by the Province in the Second Unit Info Sheet (Ministry of Municipal Affairs, Spring 2017) and to recent amendments to the Planning Act. The Info Sheet describes what an additional residential unit is and provides considerations for where it may be appropriate to permit these units. These considerations include locations on roads that are maintained yearround and accessible by Emergency Services, as well as demonstrating that on-site water and sewage services have sufficient capacity for the additional dwelling unit(s). The proposal meets or will meet the intent of the above considerations. The subject property is located in Harrowsmith on Road 38. This road is maintained yearround and is accessible by Emergency Services. The secondary dwelling unit will use the existing driveway for access. There is sufficient area on the property to accommodate additional parking spaces required for the secondary dwelling unit. The secondary dwelling unit will be connected to the existing well and sewage system on the property. Regarding on-site water services, the Provincial Guideline D-5-5 Private Wells: Water Supply Assessment explains how to calculate the minimum pumping test rate and well yield required for a particular development based on a peak demand rate for each person and the likely number of persons (based on number of bedrooms plus one) per well. The Owner provided a copy of a well pump test from a well and water treatment professional that included a professional opinion that the well can produce 5 gallons per minute (22.7 litres per minute). The professional clarified for Planning staff that this volume was based on the existing well pump, and that the pump could be upgraded to draw more water without impacting the well yield and recovery rate. The pumping rate was greater www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

than that required by the provincial guideline (i.e. 18.75 litres per minute based on 3.75 litres per minute per person multiplied by 5), which suggests that the existing well can produce an adequate volume of water for both the primary dwelling and the secondary dwelling unit. Drinking water quality (potable water) will need to be confirmed as part of the required permit under the Ontario Building Code. Any water quality concerns can generally be addressed through an appropriate water treatment unit. Regarding on-site sewage services, a sewage system that services both the single detached dwelling and the secondary dwelling unit, and that complies with the Ontario Building Code is required. As indicated above, Building Services reviewed the performance level of the existing sewage system on the property and confirmed that, with a larger tank, it would accommodate the proposed development. The dispersal bed does not need to be replaced at this time. The owner has obtained a permit and replaced the septic tank. The property is surrounded by residential properties, including one that contains a multiple unit dwelling. The secondary dwelling unit is proposed to be located within an existing accessory building to the dwelling on the property. This accessory building exceeds all the applicable UR1 minimum setbacks from property lines. This accessory building is located to the rear of the property, and is visually screened from most properties along Road 38 and Harrowsmith Church Street by the existing dwelling as well as the topography of the site (e.g. the property is higher than Road 38). The accessory building is visually screened from the residential property to the west by mature pine trees on the neighbouring property. The owner installed a chain link fence along the shared property line to delineate a small amenity area for the secondary dwelling unit. Overall, the proposal would be compatible with the surrounding land uses. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed zoning by-law amendment is consistent and conforms to the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, the County of Frontenac Official Plan, and the South Frontenac Official Plan, and represents good planning for the subject property.

To: Committee of the Whole Prepared by: Development Services Department Date of Meeting: June 21, 2022 Subject: South Frontenac Site Plan Control By-law Summary Bill 109 delegates authority to staff to make decisions on site plan control applications. Staff propose to replace the existing site plan control by-law, 2003-25, as amended, with a new, updated by-law that establishes where site plan control applies throughout the Township, delegates authority to staff, that authorizes the signing of agreements by the Mayor and Clerk, and deals with other technical matters such as drawings, conditions and securities under Section 41 of the Planning Act. Recommendation That Council pass by-law 2022-58 to establish a comprehensive site plan control bylaw for the Township of South Frontenac and delegates the authority to make decisions on site plan control applications to staff in accordance with the requirements of Bill 109, More Homes for Everyone Act. Background Under Bill 109, the Province requires all municipal Council’s to delegate decision making authority on site plan control applications on July 1, 2022. Based on the provisions of Bill 109, Council will not have the authority to make decisions on site plan applications under the Planning Act that are received after July 1, 2022. The Township’s existing site plan control by-law, 2003-25, as amended, does not currently contemplate any delegation of decision making to staff. It is also missing any provisions for securities and the financial administration of such securities. Site plan control is applicable law under the Building Code and a site plan control application must be approved for certain types of development before building permits can be issued. Planning staff have prepared a new comprehensive site plan by-law for the Township that delegates site plan control approval and authorizes the Mayor and Clerk to enter into site plan agreements approved by the Director of Development Services or their designate (Senior Planner or Chief Administrative Officer).

The comprehensive by-law addresses numerous areas of administration related to site plan control that are not covered in the existing site plan control by-law 2003-25, as amended. Discussion from June 14, 2022 Committee of the Whole Meeting The draft comprehensive site plan control by-law was presented to Committee of the Whole on June 14, 2022 for discussion. At that meeting staff reviewed the major sections of the by-law, including the lands to which site plan control applies and the most common exemptions. Council asked several questions regarding the applicability and operation of the by-law. The proposed site plan control by-law reflects the current administration process for site plan control process that has been established over the past three years. The existing site plan control by-law, 2003-25, establishes site plan control areas, but does not include provisions that relate to important aspects of the site plan process such as registration of site plan agreements, fees and the administration of securities. As delegation of site plan control to staff is mandatory under Bill 109, staff are seeking a more comprehensive by-law to provide transparency to both Council and the public by documenting the administrative practices staff follow in administering the site plan control process. A new practice proposed in the revised site plan control by-law is that approvals would lapse if no development was undertaken within five years of the approval being granted. Staff believe this is an important to put this provision into the by-law as standards can change for development within a five year window that may impact how a site would be planned and developed. Within a five year timeframe – other development may occur around as site that would mean that it may be reviewed differently. Having the lapsing clause allows staff to revisit the review of a site plan where no development of the site has occurred since the time of approval. Questions were asked about whether it is staff who would be the final decision maker on aspects of site design including lighting, vegetation removal and garbage enclosures. Under Bill 109, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs has been clear that all aspects of the site plan approval process must be delegated to staff. Any site plans considered complete after July 1st, 2022, will be staff decisions. Site plans control applications that were submitted and considered complete prior to July 1, 2022, will still require Council to make decisions on those applications. Concerns were raised about the provision 8a) regarding staff making decisions around the dedication of land for park or other recreational purposes, or the payment of money in lieu of land in accordance with the policies of the Official Plan. With the appropriate provisions in the implementation section of the Official Plan, the Planning Act permits the Township to require either dedication of parkland or cash-in-lieu of parkland through the Site Plan Process. This provision is not in the current Official Plan, but it is included as an option Council may enact in the new Official Plan. Prior to its use, Council would need to update the Parkland By-law to establish the terms under which parkland would be collected.

Page 137 of 185 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - South Frontenac Site Plan Control By-law
The comprehensive site plan by-law proposed includes a provision to dedicate or collect parkland in accordance with the provisions of the Official Plan to establish this authority without the need to further update the site plan control by-law following the adoption of the new Official Plan. Under Bill 109 and the comprehensive site plan control by-law, the dedication of parkland or collection of cash-in-lieu, in accordance with the Official Plan and Parkland By-law would be a staff decision at the time of site plan approval. Discussion/Analysis The Site Plan review and approval process is a legislative tool under the Planning Act. Site Plan Control is a development review process that evaluates the layout of site features, (buildings, parking areas, landscaping, etc.), but not the interior spaces of the proposed structures. Site Plan Control ensures that the development of a property complies with the requirements of the zoning by-law. A site plan control by-law identifies the zones or types of uses where site plan control will be required. Site plan control approval is used to ensure: • • • • • • • • •
Safe, orderly and functional development; Safety and efficiency of vehicular and pedestrian movement; Land use compatibility between new and existing developments; The provision of functional attractive site amenities and facilities to achieve good urban, rural and waterfront design objectives; Retention and protection of valuable and sensitive natural features within development sites; The provision and appropriate placement of required infrastructure and services on development sites; The provision of easements or grading and site alterations needed to provide public utilities and site drainage; and The construction and maintenance of the development as approved by the Township. As a condition of site plan approval, the Township may require the owner to provide land for road widening. Establish provisions for long-term maintenance of properties in accordance with the approved plan.
By-law 2003-25 (Attachment 1) lists a number of land uses in the Township that are subject to Site Plan Control. The types of development that can be subject to site plan control are established in the Official Plan. The 2003 Site Plan Control By-law was updated by By-law 2017-03 (Attachment 2) to include Community Facilities as a type of use that could be subject to Site Plan Control. The draft Site Plan Control By-law (Attachment 3) proposes to repeal the 2003 Site Plan Control By-law and replace it with an updated comprehensive by-law for the Township. The proposed changes in the draft by-law include the following:

Removal of lands designated Mineral Aggregates from a site plan control area. Over the life of the 2003 Site Plan Control By-law, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry established that lands subject to licencing under the Aggregate Act are not permitted to be subject to Site Plan Control. Removal of the regulation of lands to which hauled sewage applies. The regulation of the land application of hauled sewage was established by the province under the Nutrient Management Act in 2002. Provincial standards supersede any local standards for the land application of sewage and is no longer appropriate to regulate through Site Plan Control. Clarification of how site plan control and development agreements apply to waterfront residential development. Authority for site plan control to apply to Delegation of authority to make decisions on site plan control applications to staff Authorization for the Mayor and Clerk to sign agreements where site plan control applications have been given by staff. Including provisions that deal with the collection and administration of financial securities to ensure that a development is constructed and maintained in accordance with the approved site plan control drawings and agreement. This section reflects the practice the Township has utilized over the past 3.5 years to administer site plan control.
The existing Site Plan Control By-law does not include any provisions regarding performance securities. Staff are recommending the inclusion of provisions within the updated by-law. In the event that an approved development of a property is not completed or maintained in accordance with the approved plans, staff would be required to enforce on the property and pursue the violations in accordance with provincial offences. With the use of performance securities, the Owner will be required to provide a cost estimate prepared by a qualified professional for the works to be completed, including paving, site grading, landscaping and stormwater works. The amount of securities is proposed to be 50% of the cost of on site improvements. For any works within the Township right-of-way or on Township property the required securities will be for 100% of the costs of the approved works. This is a very common approach taken by municipalities for the calculation and collection of securities for site plans across Ontario. Following completion of the works, the Owner will be required to submit a certificate from their engineer, or other qualified professional, confirming that all works have been completed in accordance with the approved plans and site plan control agreement. Township staff will also complete a site inspection. When it is confirmed that the works are completed to the satisfaction of the Township up to 90% of the security amount will be released. Where there are deficiencies or incomplete work a holdback may be retained. Following the release of 90% of the securities the remaining 10% will be held for a minimum of one year. The Owner is required to submit a written request for the remaining 10% with a certificate confirming the completion and maintenance of all works. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.
Page 139 of 185 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - South Frontenac Site Plan Control By-law
Over the life of the existing 2003-25 site plan control by-law, Section 41 of the Planning Act has been updated to include several types of new matters that can be regulated and required through site plan control. These items include matters of exterior design, sustainable design elements and cash-in-lieu of parkland. The first draft of the new South Frontenac Official Plan includes these policies (Section 9.16) to allow the Township to make use of these tools. The existing Official Plan (approved in 2003) does not have policies that allow staff to use these provisions. Including the reference “in accordance with the Official Plan” allows us to list these new tools in the new site plan control by-law, but they will not come into effect until the new Official Plan is adopted with the policies that will operationalize these new tools. Financial Implications The delegation of site plan control will assist in providing faster approval timeframes which will be beneficial once the provincial fee rebate schedule is implemented under Bill 109 on January 1, 2023. The draft by-law clearly spells out how securities are calculated and when they are collected. Holding a financial security assists with ensuring performance of works as part of any significant development. This security minimizes the financial risk to the Township and the tax base by providing money the Township can draw down on should the Township have to complete works to make a site safe or to complete works on Township lands.

Deeming By-law Application PL-LC-2022-0049, Plan 544, Secker et. al.
Summary This report recommends that Council pass a by-law to deem Lots 13, 30, 31, 44, 47, 48 and 49, Plan 544, District of Storrington not to be lots in a plan of subdivision for the purpose of applying 50(3) of the Planning Act.
Recommendation It is recommended that the by-law deeming the properties described as Lots 13, 30, 31, 44, 47, 48 and 49, Plan 544, District of Storrington, Township of South Frontenac not be lots in a plan of subdivision, be passed.
Background In February 2022, several lot addition consents were approved to enlarge existing lots in a plan of subdivision (Plan 544) on the south side of Loughborough Lake. The existing lots have access from private lanes off Cedar Ridges Lane. The lots took lands from an adjacent Block (Block A) in the subdivision to enlarge them. Several other lots in the plan of subdivision were previously enlarged from these lands. One of the conditions of the lot addition consents is that a deeming by-law be passed to deem the lots not to be lots within a plan of subdivision. This will ensure that the existing lots and the lot addition lands would be able to legally merge and not be able to be sold separately in the future. The owners of Lot 13, Lot 30, Lot 31, Lot 44, Lot 47, Lot 48 and Lot 49 on Plan 544 are requesting Council pass a deeming by-law to fulfill the condition of their lot addition consents. Passing the deeming by-law will allow the following to take place: • • • •
A portion of Block A to be merged with all of Lot 13 A portion of Block A to be merged with all of Lot 30 A portion of Block A to be merged with all of Lot 44 A portion of Block A to be merged with all of Lot 47 www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.
Page 159 of 185 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Deeming By-law Application PL-LC-2022-0049, Plan 544, Secker et. al.
• •
A portion of Block A to be merged with all of Lot 48 A portion of Block A to be merged with all of Lot 49
Related Applications Block A of Plan 544 is subject to consent applications S-41-21-S, S-42-21-S, S-43-21-S, S46-21-S, S-47-21-S, S-49-21-S and S-53-21-S for lot additions to the subject lands. The lot addition lands are subject to rezoning application PL-ZBA-2022-0048 to change the zone from Open Space – Public (OS) to Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW) to permit residential uses to occur on the enlarged lots.
Discussion/Analysis The subject properties known as Lot 13, Lot 30, Lot 31, Lot 44, Lot 47, Lot 48 and Lot 49, and Block A on Plan 544, are subject to consent applications to add a portion of Block A to each Lot. All of the lots are located on the southern shore of the west basin of Loughborough Lake, between the shore and Cedar Ridges Lane. Each portion of Block A that will be added to the Lots share abutting property lines. Attachment #1 illustrates each of the lots that are subject to this deeming by-law and will be enlarged by lands from Block A. The consent applications for lot additions were approved by the Director of Development Services through the delegated consent process. Under the Planning Act, whole lots in a plan of subdivision are legally always able to be sold separately from the lands that enlarge it if a deeming by-law is not passed by Council. A condition of each consent application is that a deeming by-law be passed deeming the lot that is proposed to be enlarged to not be a lot in a plan of subdivision to ensure the lands that are being added can legally merge upon registration of the consent. Passing the deeming by-law also helps ensure that the original lot and the lands enlarging it can be described under one Parcel Identification Number (PIN) through the Land Registry Office. This process ensures that a parcel of land intended for a lot addition cannot unintentionally become a new stand alone parcel of land and will stick to the original lot.
Financial Implications The application fees have been paid for all applications. The cost of registration of the required documentation will be paid by the applicant.

Stars Corners Intersection – Amendments to Roads and Parking Bylaw 2000-01
Summary This report is a follow up to the report presented to Council on April 5th, 2022, regarding the preferred design alternative for the Stars Corners Intersection and is seeking Council approval to pass By-laws 2022-59 and 2022-60 to implement the necessary traffic control and speed changes.
Recommendation That Council pass By-Laws 2022-59 being a by-law to amend By-law 2000-01, to reduce the speed limit on a section of Yarker Road to 70km/hr. And That Council Pass By-law 2022-60 being a by-law to amend By-law 2000-01, to implement an all-way stop control at Wilton Road and Yarker Road.
Background On April 5th, 2022, the Public Services Department presented a report from Jewell Engineering providing the background and preferred design alternative for upgrades to the Stars Corners intersection at Wilton Road and Yarker Road. Upon the conclusion of the report Council passed the following resolution: Resolution No. 2022-18-08 That Council approve the multi-way (4) stop control and reduced speed (60km/hr) zone as the preferred design alternative for the Stars Corners Intersection (Yarker Road and Wilton Road). And That Council direct staff to proceed with the design and construction of the preferred solution; and

Page 164 of 185 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Stars Corners Intersection – Amendments to Roads and Parking Bylaw 2000-01
And Furthermore that staff prepare an amendment to the Roads and Parking Bylaw outlining the details for reduced speeds at the approaches to the intersection of Yarker Road and Wilton Road.
Discussion/Analysis On May 31st, Jewell Engineering completed the Design Brief for the Stars Corners intersection upgrade and submitted the recommended Signage and Traffic Marking Plan. A copy of the documents has been included as Attachments A and B respectively. Its should be noted that all of the engineering findings at the detailed design follow the intent of the preliminary design with the only exception being the recommended posted speed limit on Yarker Road. Jewell Engineering has carried out a review of each leg of the intersection using the Transportation Association of Canada’s (TAC) Guidelines for Establishing Posted Speed Limits. Through this review, Jewell Engineering has recommended that a 70km/hr speed limit be placed on the section of Yarker Road between Road 38 and Wilton Road. With this understanding staff have prepared draft amendments to the Roads and Parking Bylaw to recognize the implementation of an all-way stop control along with a reduced speed limit on Yarker Road. Copies of the draft bylaw amendments are included as Attachment C. Staff are therefore recommending that Council pass the necessary bylaw amendments to allow the project to proceed.
Financial Implications The 2022 carry forward budget for this project was $59,342.79 of which there have been $18,862.74 in expenses to date this year. If approved, it is anticipated that the project to install signage, lighting and pavement markings can be completed with the remaining budget available.

Engineering Design Services For the Design of Two Major Intersections
STARS CORNERS FOUR-WAY STOP DESIGN BRIEF June 15, 2022 This brief accompanies the drawing titled “Stars Corners Four-Way Stop” and outlines the processes and decisions used for the following aspects of the design of the four-way stop control at Stars Corners: 1. 2. 3. 4.
Posted Speed Limit Selection Regulatory Signs Warning Signs Pavement Marking
Each aspect is discussed below.
- Posted Speed Limit Selection Each leg of the intersection was evaluated using the Transportation Association of Canada’s (TAC) Canadian Guidelines for Establishing Posted Speed Limits. The following factors were considered in the evaluation – land use, median separation, road hierarchy, number of through lanes per direction, and length of corridor. The evaluation also considered the risk level for the vertical and horizontal geometry, lane width, roadside hazards, pedestrians, cyclists, pavement surface, intersection density, access density, interchange density, and on-street parking. According to TAC, the minimum length of speed zone for posted speeds of 70km or higher is 1km. For the purpose of the intersection, 1km of each leg of the intersection was evaluated for recommended posted speeds. Due to the proximity to Road 38 and without significant change in the roadway, the east leg from Stars Corners intersection to Road 38 was evaluated as one zone length of 2km. Based on the evaluation, Wilton Road north and south of the intersection and Yarker Road west of the intersection remain at a posted maximum 80km/h speed. Yarker Road east of the intersection is reduced to a posted maximum 70km/h speed between Stars Corner and Road 38. The reduction in posted speed limit east of the intersection does not require adjustments to existing signs, as the required distances are minimums and decrease with a reduction in speed. Regulatory speed signs were placed as required by Ontario Traffic Manuals (OTM) and reflect the change into and out of the new speed zone. Placement of the signs capture the attention of vehicles turning onto Yarker Road from Wilton Road and from side streets such as Quinn Road and Henderson Road yet are close enough to the intersections to indicate the speed limit before vehicles exceed it.

-
Regulatory Signs Stop signs are installed on Yarker road for the new stopping condition. Due to the collision history at the intersection, oversized stop signs with flashing red beacons were selected for visual emphasis for drivers. This will match the existing oversized stop signs on Wilton Road and create a consistent stop condition between all legs of the intersection. The stop sign is located at a position that allows an appropriate horizontal offset (2m-4m from EP) and offset from the intersecting traffic (1.5m-15m). For an initial implementation, oversize stop signs and flashing red beacons have been selected for use. It is recommended that upon monitoring the implementation of the four-way stop, should an observation be made that drivers are not following the regulatory stop sign, further driver cues may be added such as transverse rumble strips (as installed on Wilton Road) or “STOP” pavement markings.
-
Warning Signs Warning signs are used to alert vehicles to the upcoming stop condition. The signs are to be installed on Yarker Road and have been placed using OTM guidelines for minimum distances from the stop condition. Following OTM guidelines, warning signs to indicate that the stop condition is new are to be installed for 30-60 days. This period is intended to notify vehicles that the intersection has changed, while drivers become familiar with the new condition.
-
Pavement Markings Pavement markings installation was determined by OTM guidelines. The new stop bars are located as per OTM standards (1.5m-3m from EP of intersecting traffic) and a double yellow line (existing line marking) is to be refreshed for 60m prior to the stop bar.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the writer.

Municipal Councils of Ontario Subject: The Retention of Professional Engineers at Ontario Municipalities The purpose of this letter is to stress the importance that municipal engineers play in the successful operation of cities, counties, towns, and townships across Ontario. The Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) is a non-profit association representing the municipal engineering field in Ontario. We have a membership base of over 1,000 municipal engineers across Ontario who are employed as professional engineers at Ontario municipalities and other provincial agencies serving in the engineering/public works field. We advocate for sustainable municipal infrastructure practices and our members provide significant input into the development of processes, standards, and specifications for use in municipal infrastructure systems such as drinking water delivery, wastewater collection and treatment, storm water management, waste management and transportation systems. The MEA has been the proponent for the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process since the mid-1980s. We are also a co-proponent of Ontario Provincial Standards & Specifications that many Ontario municipalities use when planning for and tendering municipal engineering projects. There are a number of examples in various current legislation, where the use of a professional engineer is referenced. Key tasks include roles in transportation, natural resources, health and safety, consumer services, environment, tourism, agriculture, climate change, and energy. It is essential that municipalities consider the appointment of professional engineers, especially within the areas of engineering and public works, to afford municipal councils the appropriate due diligence toward public safety. Unfortunately, we are observing a concerning trend where this is no longer the case. Professional engineers, through education and practical experience requirements, have the knowledge and foresight to not only understand the ‘how’ of an issue, but also understand the ‘why’ behind issues as well. Professional engineers are licensed to practice in Ontario through the Professional Engineers Act and are bound by statutory accountabilities, which includes a code of ethics. Under this code, professional engineers are required to act at all times with fidelity to public needs; professional engineers regard their duty to public welfare and safety as paramount. Professional engineers also provide significant value to municipalities through their understanding of risk management, which assists in lowering exposure to claims against a municipality. With insurance premiums rising every year, it is prudent that municipalities appoint a professional engineer to guide these decision-making processes.
Page 173 of 185 Office of the President 1525 Cornwall Road Oakville ON L6J 0B2
As of December 31, 2019, there were 57,134 practicing professional engineers licensed and practicing in the Province of Ontario. Of this number, only 136 professional engineers work for municipalities with a population of 50,000 or less. This represents only 0.2% of licensed and practicing Ontario Professional Engineers being employed by Ontario municipalities serving populations of less than 50,000. Many of these smaller municipalities have a Public Works/Engineering Department head and would benefit by appointing a Professional Engineer. The vast majority of professional engineers working at Ontario municipalities are employed by larger urban centres having a population greater than 50,000. For smaller municipalities that do not have the financial resources to employ a full-time professional engineer on their staff, the MEA recommends the appointment of a professional engineer through a licensed consulting firm so that your municipality may meet the needs only a professional engineer can provide. We would also like to take this opportunity to promote membership in the MEA. There are Ontario municipalities that currently do not have representation in the MEA. If you have a professional engineer(s) on staff and they are not MEA members, we encourage your municipality to have them apply. The MEA offers members access to knowledge, learning and the ability to stay up to date with current industry practices. It truly is great value for a very nominal fee. On behalf of the MEA, we thank you for taking time to review this letter. Should you have any questions, please reach out to the MEA’s Executive Director, Dan Cozzi, P. Eng. at dan.cozzi@municipalengineers.on.ca. Yours sincerely,
Jason Cole, P. Eng., MEA President 2021 - 2022

8 June 2022 Delivered by Email: pwsupport@southfrontenac.net Public Services Department South Frontenac Township 4432 George Street PO Box 100 Sydenham, Ontario K0H 2T0 Copy to: Councillor Ron Sleeth (by email) Mr. Troy Dunlop (by email) Dear Public Services Department: RE: Speed limit reduction request – Lower Round Lake Road On behalf of the vast majority of the residents of Lower Round Lake Road, I am submitting the attached request for a reduction of the speed limit for the entirety of Lower Round Lake Road from the default of 80km/h to 60km/h. Please find attached the completed application form, as well as a petition signed by a majority of the residents (including 44 households with Lower Round Lake Road civic addresses). My family and I have spoken to almost all of our neighbours over the past week, and there is great concern about the speed at which (some) people drive down this deadend rural road, and many residents were surprised to learn that the speed limit was currently as high as 80km/h (by default). The road has several sharp turns, and many blind crests that make such speeds unreasonable. For the last few years the many potholes and rough patches on our road have helped a bit to keep speeds down, although some vehicles still drive dangerously fast. We are concerned that the re-construction of the road this summer, making it smoother, wider and straighter will lead to even faster and more dangerous driving speeds on our road. (As has happened with the section of Round Lake Road that the Township rebuilt two years ago.) In speaking with our neighbours about this issue, we learned that many residents are quite upset about the high vehicles speeds on the road. We heard from some residents that they no longer walked or cycled on the road, or no longer allowed their children to walk their dogs on the road, out of fear for their safety. Many are concerned that this situation will only get worse when the road is widened and smoothed out.
Page 175 of 185
As a first step to address these concern, we are asking South Frontenac Township to lower the speed limit on our road to 60km/h to: • • • •
Make the road safer for children riding bikes, playing, or waiting for the bus; Make the road safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and pets; Make the road safer for other drivers; Reduce vehicle noise for people, cows and horses.
Thank you for considering this request. If you require anything further in order to process this request, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone or email. Kindest regards,
Paul Quick 4905 Lower Round Lake Road Battersea, ON, K0H 1H0
