Public Meeting for Zoning By-law Amendment Application PL-ZBA-20240036, Marten and Jessica Anders, 3514 Buck Point Lane

Report Number:

2023-089

Summary This report provides Council with information about Zoning By-law Amendment Application PL-ZBA-2024-0036 which applies to properties municipally known as 3514 Buck Point Lane. If approved, the zone on the subject lands would be changed from Residential (R) to Rural Special Exception 80 (RU-80). Consistent with Council’s Procedural By-law, Council will receive comments from the public on the application through the public meeting. Staff will bring a more detailed report considering applicable policy and public comments, as well as providing a recommendation to Council on this application at a future meeting. Recommendation This report is for information only. Background The purpose of the application is to change the zoning of the property from Residential (R) to Rural Special Exception 80 (RU-80) to permit an apiary, a hobby farm comprised of ten hens, and a home industry on the property in addition to the existing single-detached dwelling use. The effect of the proposed by-law is to allow a limited amount of rural land uses on the property that are desired by the landowner. The proposed apiary is small in scale comprised of several hives occupying less than 1sqm on the property. The requested home industry is related to the proposed apiary use for the sale of products produced by the apiary. A 3.3sqm chicken coop is also proposed to permit a maximum of 10 hens on the property. As the structure housing the hens is less than 10sqm, MDS requirements would not apply to the structure. The zoning by-law amendment is requested to permit all these uses on the property. Under the Planning Act, a public meeting is required to be held to receive comments from the public on the proposed rezoning. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Property Description The subject property is a 1ha property located on Buck Point which is a peninsula of land that extends into Collins Lake. The perimeter of the peninsula is developed with waterfront residential properties and the subject property is located in the middle of peninsula. The property was originally part of Block A in the St. Pierre subdivision that resulted in the development that is currently present on Buck Point. Block A was originally an open space block in the St. Pierre subdivision. The designation of the property was ultimately changed from open space to estate residential and the property was also rezoned to estate residential in the Township of Storrington Official Plan and Zoning By-law. Following this land use change Block A was then severed into the subject property and the abutting property to the west that is also zoned Residential (R). The subject property was then developed with the existing single-detached dwelling and detached garage. The property is bounded by Buck Point Lane to the south and Buckley Lane to the north. The property is level and primarily manicured lawn with some treed areas. Related Applications The property is not subject to any other applications under the Planning Act. Application and Supporting Documents The application and supporting documents can be accessed through the Township’s CivicWeb Document Center: https://southfrontenac.civicweb.net/filepro/documents/104323/ Department and Agency Comments The application was circulated to Building Services and Public Services who advised they did not have any comments or concerns. Cataraqui Conservation advised that the property is outside their regulated area therefore they did not have any comments on the application. Public Comments No comments were received from the public at the time of writing this report. Preliminary Planning Analysis The proposed zoning by-law amendment will need 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 (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development. Rural areas are a system of lands that may include rural settlement areas, rural lands, prime agricultural areas, natural heritage features and areas, and other resource areas. The PPS provides direction on agricultural uses in prime agricultural areas and rural lands. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - 089

The County Official Plan establishes a framework for guiding land use changes by protecting and managing the natural environment, as well as directing and influencing growth patterns. It requires the Township to identify prime agricultural areas and to permit agricultural uses in these areas. The Township Official Plan allows agricultural uses in the Agricultural and Rural designations. The Official Plan also contemplates permitted home industries where they are small in scale and compatible with residential uses. Zoning By-law No. 2003-75 implements the Official Plan by allowing agricultural uses and hobby farms in the Agricultural and Rural zones. A hobby farm is not listed as a permitted use under any of the other zones (e.g., Residential). Section 5.41 of the Zoning By-law regulates the number of livestock permitted on smaller properties where a hobby farm is a permitted use (i.e. in the Agricultural and Rural zones). Livestock are not permitted on these properties if they are less than 3 acres in area. There is an exception for backyard chickens - a maximum of ten (10) hens are permitted on these properties if they are between 1 and 3 acres in size. An apiary is permitted in the RU zone. Section 5.29 of the Zoning By-law regulates home industries and where they are permitted. Home industries permit the sale of goods that have been produced on site. Home industries are permitted in the A, RU, RW, UR1, and UR2 zones and are intended to be clearly secondary to the primary residential use of a property. A detailed policy analysis will be provided in a subsequent report to Council following the public meeting. The report may include a by-law for consideration by Council. The content of a proposed by-law may be refined based on the detailed policy analysis and consideration for comments received at the public meeting. Financial Implications Not applicable. Relationship to Strategic Plans ☒ Not applicable to this report. ☐ This initiative adheres to the following guiding principle of the 2023-2026 Strategic Plan. • •

Zoning By-law Amendment Application PL-ZBA-2024-0043, Snider, 4617 Bedford Road, Sydenham

Report Number:

2024-087

Summary This report provides Council with information about Zoning By-law Amendment Application PL-ZBA-2024-0043 for 4617 Bedford Road. If approved, the zone on the subject lands would be changed from Rural (RU) to Rural – Special Provision (RU-81) to allow a reduced lot size of 0.7 hectares. This report also recommends that Council deny the application. Council will review the proposal and invite public input at the statutory public meeting. Staff are recommending that Council make a decision during the Council meeting in which the public meeting is held, per the Procedural By-law as amended. Recommendation That By-law 2024-43 being a By-law to amend Zoning By-law No. 2003-75, as amended, to amend the zoning on lands known as Part 2 on Reference Plan 13R23084, Part of Lot 5, Concession 5, Loughborough District, be denied. Background The subject application is related to consent application PL-BDJ-2022-0155 for the creation of one new lot. The consent application was approved by the Committee of Adjustment on September 14, 2023. The purpose of the rezoning application is to implement a condition that requires the severed parcel to be rezoned. This change would permit the severed parcel to have a minimum 0.7 hectare (1.7 acre) lot area, whereas a minimum 0.8 hectare (2 acre) lot area is generally required. Under the Planning Act, a public meeting is required to be held to receive comments from the public on the proposed rezoning. The subject property is located off Bedford Road just outside the Sydenham Settlement Area. The property is 1.5 hectares in size and is triangular or pie slice shaped. The property contains a single detached dwelling, pool and sewage system that are in the centre of the property. The frontage of the property generally consists of a rock cut. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Application and Supporting Documents The application and supporting documents can bee accessed through the Township’s CivicWeb Document Center, https://southfrontenac.civicweb.net/filepro/documents/102996/ Department and Agency Comments Public Services and Building Services were not circulated the rezoning application. Public Services noted that there are adequate sight lines for an entrance for the severed parcel in their review of the consent application. Building Services had not supported the consent application because the proposed property line would run through the mantle loading area of the sewage system for the dwelling on the retained parcel. The Committee of Adjustment required as a condition of approval that the sewage system on the retained parcel be decommissioned and a new sewage system installed through a permit obtained under the Ontario Building Code to the satisfaction of the Chief Building Official. The Owner fulfilled this condition. Public Comments No comments were received from the public on the rezoning application at the time of writing this report. An individual had raised concerns about access, sewage system location and source of potable water supply for the severed parcel through the consent application process. Discussion/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 Provincial Policy Statement 2020 (PPS) allows growth and development to be directed to rural lands, including residential lot creation that is locally appropriate. The County Official Plan and the Township Official Plan also permit residential development in the Rural designation. Section 5.7.4 of the Township Official Plan indicates that a maximum of three rural residential lots may be created by consent from a landholding provided that the new lots meet the General Consent Policies, as well as all other applicable policies. The subject property is eligible for severances under Section 5.7.4, as there have been no previous severances from the subject property since the adoption of the Township Official Plan. The Committee of Adjustment approved consent application PL-BDJ-2022-0155. However, it was, and continues to be, the opinion of Planning staff that the severed parcel does not meet all applicable policies. The following discussion explains which applicable policies are satisfied and which are not. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report Number – 2024-087

Page 37 of 196

Section 5.7.4 of the Township Official Plan requires the frontage, size and shape of any lot created for rural 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. Lot Frontage The frontage of the severed parcel and the retained parcel would exceed the minimum 76 metres on a public road required by the Township Official Plan as well as by the Zoning Bylaw for properties in the RU zone. Lot Size Section 5.7.4 of the Township Official Plan states that the minimum lot area for lots shall not be less than 0.8 hectares (2 acres) when serviced by a private well and private sanitary sewage system. The land division policies (Section 7.1) echo the requirement for minimum lot areas. The RU zone requires a minimum 0.8 hectare (2 acre) lot area. The severed parcel would be 0.7 hectares in size, which is less than the minimum 0.8 hectares required by the Official Plan and by the Zoning By-law. The Township Official Plan requires a minimum 0.8 hectare lot area to ensure adequate separation distances between wells and sewage systems so that groundwater quality is not impacted, to avoid an overdeveloped appearance, and to help ensure a reasonable separation between residential uses. Section 5.7.4 allows the Municipality to consider reductions to the minimum lot size requirement provided the overall intent of the Plan is maintained. This approval would come in the form of a zoning by-law amendment to permit the severed parcel to have a lesser lot area. The Provincial D-5-4 Guidelines on Individual On-Site Sewage Systems and Water Quality Impact Risk Assessment specify that developments consisting of lots which average one hectare (with no lot being smaller than 0.8 hectares), may not require a detailed hydrogeological assessment, provided that it can be demonstrated that the area is not hydrogeologically sensitive. Based on this guidance, the Township Official Plan requires a minimum 0.8 hectare lot size for consent applications so that applicants do not need to complete this study. Lots less than 0.8 hectares in size are generally only considered through a plan of subdivision in which the lot areas are supported by a hydrogeological assessment and terrain analysis that demonstrates that there would be no adverse impacts to groundwater quality and quantity for the proposed lot and the existing development in the area. The severed parcel was created through a consent not a subdivision, therefore no study was required nor completed. Private wells and sewage systems are the only servicing option outside of the Village of Sydenham. The subject property lies just outside Sydenham and the area serviced by the municipal water system. The PPS only allows the extension of partial services (e.g. municipal water and private sewage system) into rural areas to address failed individual onsite sewage and individual on-site water services for existing development. The severed www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Page 38 of 196

parcel would be new development. Therefore, the severed parcel cannot be connected to the municipal water system with the intention of supporting a smaller lot size. Lot Shape The Planning Act identifies criteria to be considered in the subdivision of land - this includes criteria to be considered for consent applications. One of the considerations is having regard to the dimension and shape of the proposed lots. Section 7.1(d) of the Township Official Plan states that consents should be granted which generally provide for a satisfactory geometric design of the severed and retained parcels. The dimension and shape of lots is important for several reasons including ease of measuring and maintaining property lines, avoiding or minimizing neighbour conflict, flexibility for siting and design of buildings, as well as providing usable space and privacy. The proposed 0.7 hectare size of the severed parcel is close to 0.8 hectares. However, the existing dwelling (which would be on the retained parcel) is in the centre of the property, resulting in a severed parcel that would be a narrow C-shape. The dimensions and shape of the parcel would not be a satisfactory geometric design as required by Section 7.1(d) of the Official Plan. The lot configuration will would result in an awkward development envelope on the severed parcel. It is also likely to result in neighbour conflicts related to property boundaries and trespass (e.g. the owner of the retained parcel maintaining and using lawn that would actually be on the severed parcel). Conclusion Staff recommend that Council deny application PL-ZBA-2024-0043 as it would enable final approval of a consent application that does not conform to section 51(24) of the Planning Act, does not conform to the Township Official Plan, and does not represent good planning for the subject lands.

Verona Housing Water and Wastewater Servicing Master Plan Second Progress Update for Council Page 73 of 196

Background

Page 74 of 196

Project Background 2020

2021

• The Township Council supported the creation of a Master Plan for the affected lands. This culminated in the Verona Housing Master Plan (VHMP)

• Council endorsed the VHMP. The Township retained J.L. Richards & Associates Limited (JLR) to undertake the Verona Housing Water and Wastewater Servicing Master Plan to evaluate various municipal water and wastewater infrastructure options to ensure the preferred solution(s) can service the mixed-housing development project within the Village.

Page 75 of 196

2022

• The Township acquired two parcels of land in the Village of Verona (A and B) with frontage on Verona Street for a mixed-housing development project.

Study Area Overview Parcel A is located on the east side of Verona Street and is approximately 1.23 hectares (ha.) • The parcel is undeveloped and treed, with telephone lines extending along the street frontage. It is divided by an easement for drainage infrastructure.

Page 76 of 196

Parcel B is located on the west side of Verona Street and is approximately 8.95 ha.. • The parcel is undeveloped and treed, with its northerly portion constrained by floodplain/wetland features.

Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Master Plan Process Class EA Process • The Ontario Environmental Assessment (EA) Act, R.S.O., 1990 requires that projects corresponding to municipal infrastructure projects, including roads, water, and wastewater projects follow an approved planning process set out in the Municipal Class EA document prepared by the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA).

Verona Housing Water and Wastewater Servicing Master Plan (Approach 1)

Master Plan Process • Master Plans are conducted under the framework of the MEA Class EA Process. They are a planning tool that identifies infrastructure and other requirements for the existing and future land use, through the application of environmental assessment principles. The current Master Plan is intended to satisfy Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class EA process (i.e., Approach 1).

• This approach concludes at the end of Phases 1 and 2. With this approach, the Master Plan is being completed at a broad level of assessment and may require further detailed assessment at the project-specific level.

 Restricted outdoor water use to reduce drinking water demand.  Fire protection is not being provided through this drinking water system.

Problem/Opportunity Statement The Township of South Frontenac plans to develop two municipally owned land parcels in the Village of Verona for mixed housing use. There is currently no municipal water and wastewater services in the Village, and existing services are provided through private well and septic beds.

Page 81 of 196

The Township is developing an approach to the municipal water and wastewater services to allow the proposed development to move forward. In developing the preferred servicing solution, there is an opportunity to consider impacts to neighboring properties, impacts to natural and social environment, infrastructure spending, operation and maintenance effort, climate change, and growth opportunities.

Several comments not directly related to the water & wastewater Master Plan: • Questions about the potential demographics of the housing. • Concerns about the impacts of potential new residents on the community. • Concerns related to McMullen Manor operated by Kingston and Frontenac Housing Corporation • Concern about how the project was funded related to land acquisition.

Phase 1 Public Comments Consultation Process

Technical Aspects

Some only learned of the PIC through word of mouth, despite advertising efforts.

Wanted more, simplified technical information.

Preferred a presentation with seating rather than the self-directed open house format. Not all feedback and responses to questions were cohesive and clear. Continue consultation with property owners.

Concerns about impacts from potential subsurface wastewater treatment and disposal system on nearby properties. Want to be notified of on-site studies that may affect nearby properties.

Studies and Assessments Natural Heritage Study

Groundwater Assessment

Surface Water Assessment

Subsurface Wastewater Disposal

Findings: • Parcels are within 120 m of unevaluated wetland, Verona Lake, and Vanluven Lake.

Findings: • Existing well drilled on Parcel B supplied a minimum of 0.9 L/s • Water quality meets the Ontario Drinking Water Quality Standards except hardness.

Findings: • Village is located within Napanee River watershed and Camden sub-watershed. • No flow or floodplain information available for Verona Lake. • Anecdotal data was acquired through consultation.

Findings: • Subsurface disposal is feasible on Parcel B, per the Ontario Building Code. • Maximum feasible dispersal bed capacity is 1.2 L/s.

Recommendations: • Targeted field surveys to determine species at risk and habitat, including Blanding’s Turtle and Gray Ratsnake survey, fish habitat survey within wetlands, and migratory bird nesting survey.

Recommendations: • Additional field test required to establish well production rate and ensure private wells are not affected.

Recommendations: • Hydrogeological studies to acquire water flow & quantity information

Recommendations: • Treated wastewater effluent quality needs to meet Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks requirements.

Page 87 of 196

• This assessment was originally completed by Groundworks Engineering during the previous Verona Housing Master Plan.

The Ministry of Citizenship and Multiculturalism identified a terrestrial archaeological site within 250 m of Parcel A. No archaeological impact is anticipated for the proposed undertaking.

1.2 L/s (Max Allowable Site Capacity)

Page 91 of 196

The maximum number of residents that can be serviced is 209 people, due to the 1.2 L/s wastewater site capacity limit. This is equivalent to 74 two-bedroom or 104 one- bedroom units, though the actual unit distribution can be mixed. This is a lower unit count and population than what was projected by the original MHBC Verona Housing Master Plan.

Drinking Water Source Protection Groundwater Source • Wellhead protection areas (WHPA) are zones around a municipal well where land use activities can affect the water quality • WHPA-A: 100 m radius around the wellhead. • WHPA-B: water and any pollution can reach the well within 2 years. • WHPA-C: water and any pollution can reach the well within 2 to 5 years. • WHPA-D: water and any pollution can reach the well within 5 to 25 years. • WHPA-E: where groundwater is under the direct influence of surface water.

Surface Water Source (e.g., Verona Lake) • Intake protection zones (IPZ) are the area of land and water surrounding the intake pipe that may be vulnerable to contamination. • IPZ-1: one kilometer upstream and 120 m onto the shore. • IPZ-2: on and offshore areas where flowing water and any pollution would reach the intake pipe within two hours. • IPZ-3: total contributing area to the intake. The zone does not extend more than 120 m inland unless a transport pathway exists.

The Clean Water Act prescribes 21 different activities that may be considered drinking water threats. These “prescribed drinking water threats” will require risk management under the Source Water Protection Plan and includes the following : Septic systems and holding tanks; home heating oil tanks; private wells;

•

Handling and storage of fuel, dense non-aqueous phase liquids and organic solvents;

•

Road salt application;

•

Fertilizer and pesticide storage and handling;

•

Snow storage; etc.

Page 92 of 196

•

Climate Change and Quinte Conservation Input The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks expects Class Environmental Assessments to consider climate change. Quinte Conservation has developed a Climate Change Strategy that summarizes climate change impacts, and mitigation strategies. • Verona’s groundwater has a low vulnerability to drought, but residents are highly reliant on groundwater for drinking water. • Deep wells with high yield are less susceptible than shallow wells of low yield. • Precipitation will remain relatively stable in the Quinte Region, but higher temperatures will increase evapotranspiration rates by 10% in the next 30 years. Drilling a municipal groundwater well within the floodplain should be avoided but is permissible if it is the only feasible solution. Page 93 of 196

Floodplain information in this area is currently being updated.

Option 1: Do Nothing / Status Quo • Maintaining existing conditions. • Do not provide municipal servicing to the Verona Housing Development project. • This option is included in evaluations as the basis for comparison.

Page 94 of 196

Option 2: Onsite Groundwater Well & Onsite Large Subsurface Sewage Disposal System • New groundwater well on Parcel B with the required treatment system and distribution to Parcels A and B. • New large subsurface sewage disposal system on Parcel B with the required treatment system. • Abandon the onsite test well due to proximity to proposed subsurface disposal system.

Page 95 of 196

Option 3: Onsite Surface Water Treatment & Onsite Large Subsurface Sewage Disposal System • Taking water from Verona Lake, bringing raw water to Parcel B through a raw water line connection, treating on the site and distributing to both Parcels A and B. • New easement at the end of Verona Street for the new watermain. • New large subsurface sewage disposal system on Parcel B with the required treatment system. • Abandon onsite test well.

Page 96 of 196

Option 4: Offsite Surface Water Treatment & Onsite Large Subsurface Sewage Disposal System • Taking raw water from Verona Lake, treating it at a new water treatment facility on municipality land adjacent to Verona Lake. Distributing treated water to Parcel A and B. • New subsurface sewage disposal system on Parcel B with the required treatment system. • Abandon onsite test well.

Page 97 of 196

Option 5: Offsite Groundwater Well & Onsite Large Subsurface Sewage Disposal System • New groundwater well(s) off site on municipally owned land. Bring treated water to Parcels A and B through a watermain. • New subsurface sewage disposal system on Parcel B with the required treatment system. • Abandon onsite test well.

Page 98 of 196

Option 6: Onsite Groundwater Well & Wastewater Treatment Discharging to an Approved Surface Water Outlet • Establishing or reusing groundwater well(s) on Parcel B with the required treatment system. • Installing a wastewater treatment facility on Parcel B and discharging treated effluent to an approved surface water outlet.

7:00 p.m. Council Meeting

Introduction

Page 109 of 196

• At the beginning of the Official Plan review process, communal servicing was only a concept. • With the establishment of the Municipal Services Corporation, communal servicing is now a reality. • There is a need for the Township to develop communal servicing policy as it relates to where to direct growth supported by communal servicing, and the type, scale, density, and uses that could be permitted. • County staff are supportive of the Township developing policies as it will assist the other County Townships with promoting development supported by communal services. • Township staff has developed policy that is least directive to most directive and is looking for feedback from Council before proceeding with a public meeting. • Growth management and communal servicing is one of the most important pillars of the Official Plan, and it is important for Council and staff to collaborate on policy direction. • At the end of this presentation, staff will ask Council for feedback.

Historic Communities, Limited Municipal Services

Page 110 of 196

On-site well and septic • The smallest lot size permitted is 2 acres whether in the rural area or settlement areas. • MOE Guideline which stipulates that lots with on-site septic should be no less than 2 acres. • Part 8 of the Ontario Building Code which discusses the requirements for on-site sewage treatment. • Could go below the 2-acre minimum by requiring more advanced on-site sewage treatment but then the municipality would be chasing people due to monitoring requirements and enforcement if there were any issues. Page 111 of 196

• The Township has fractured bedrock or shallow soils over bedrock making nitrate leaching a concern.

Municipal Communal Servicing • The solution we are working towards is municipal communal services. • With decentralized municipal water and wastewater servicing could permit smaller lots (0.25-0.75 acres) as part of planned development. • Municipal Services Corporation has been established. • Verona Housing project is moving along (first project to be supported by municipal communal services). • Planning staff drafting Official Plan policy about where development supported by municipal communal servicing should be located, and what scale, density, and uses should be permitted. Page 112 of 196

Subdivision Conservation Design • Subdivision conservation design are density neutral, cluster housing on a smaller portion of the land area to reduce impacts on the natural environment and rural character. • Uses municipal communal servicing to help preserve the community’s rural character and natural resources while accommodating a reasonable degree of growth and development. • Conservation design is a flexible approach to laying out rural subdivisions which maximizes the amount of open space preservation without sacrificing the total number of lots created. Page 113 of 196

• It is a “density-neutral” approach, meaning that it allows the same number of lots to be created as would be produced in a conventional layout.

Subdivision Conservation Design

Page 114 of 196

Subdivision Conservation Design • Conservation subdivisions can reduce the infrastructure costs of new developments, in terms of both capital and operating costs. • Shorter length of streets that must be maintained, saving on winter snow plowing, periodic repairs, and resurfacing. • Retaining local natural features can also reduce costs associated with grading, drainage, and related “improvements” typically required in a new subdivision.

Permit low- and high-density communal servicing in Sydenham only. Page 118 of 196

Least Directive Policy Policy Option 1: Permit low- and high-density communal servicing development in rural areas and Settlement Areas • Continue to permit estate lots with individual on-site well and septic. • Promote low density (subdivision conservation design) utilizing municipal communal servicing. • Permit single detached dwellings, duplexes, triplexes, and additional dwelling units in rural areas. • Permit high density development (townhouses, apartments) in rural areas and in Settlement Areas. Page 119 of 196

Policy Option 2: Only low-density communal servicing in rural area • Continue to permit estate lots with individual on-site well and septic. • Promote low density (subdivision conservation design) utilizing municipal communal servicing. • Permit single detached dwellings, duplexes, triplexes, and additional dwelling units in rural areas. • Do not permit high density development (townhouses, apartments) in rural areas. Page 120 of 196

Red line indicates a communal servicing areas

Page 121 of 196

• Trying to strike a balance between allowing communal servicing only in settlement areas versus allowing communal servicing across entire Township.

Policy Option 4: Permit lowand high-density communal servicing in Settlement Areas only • Unknown groundwater quality and quantity • Provincial policy directs growth to settlement areas but assumes full municipal servicing

Page 122 of 196

Most Directive Policy

Policy Option 5: Permit lowand high-density communal servicing in Sydenham only • Capacity at Water Treatment Plant only allows for 50 additional houses • Potential investment in water treatment plant to increase to 150-200 houses • Unknown groundwater quality and quantity Page 123 of 196

How to initiate development with communal servicing?

Unknown where water is located to support high density development. Private developer led. Scale, density, uses are dictated by water quality and quantity by hydrogeologist and peer review.

Page 124 of 196

Municipal led groundwater studies in and around settlement areas as part of a secondary plan to inform how development can proceed.

Conclusion • Staff are recommending Policy Option 3 to provide direction and flexibility for development supported by communal servicing. • Staff are proposing that only low-density communal servicing be permitted in rural areas (subdivision conservation design). • High-density communal servicing development to be directed to settlement areas and the circled area around the two settlement areas shown under Option 3. • Additional groundwater studies would be considered at a future date with Council support and a budget allocated to secondary plan studies. Page 125 of 196

• Groundwater studies could be used to support settlement area boundary expansions.

Next Steps • Staff will advertise a date for an Official Plan Open House to discuss communal servicing policy – June or July. • Staff will consider public comments and bring a recommendation report to Council and final draft of the Official Plan in August or September.

Page 126 of 196

Questions for Council • Do you want to see townhouses and apartments in the rural areas? • What is the highest density you want to see in Settlement Areas? • Would you support conservation design subdivisions instead of conventional estate lot subdivisions? • What type of housing is most needed in the community? • Where should growth be directed?

RE:

Invitation for Expression of Interest Municipal Representative (Central Area) – Cataraqui Source Protection Committee

This letter seeks input from municipalities in the Cataraqui Source Protection Area regarding the renewal of the central area municipal representative on the Cataraqui Source Protection Committee (SP Committee). The SP Authority is composed of the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (Cataraqui Conservation) Full Authority Board plus a representative from the Township of Frontenac Islands. The SP Authority is responsible for appointing and maintaining the SP Committee, which guides the development of drinking water source protection technical studies and policies for our area. Established in 2007, the SP Committee successfully completed its initial mandate with the approval of the Cataraqui Source Protection Plan (2014), submission of annual implementation reports, and development of a workplan to determine areas for additional efforts. The Committee is now working on finalizing the section 36 updates under the Clean Water Act and ensure successful ongoing implementation of the Source Protection Plan. In accordance with the Ontario Clean Water Act, municipalities are represented by onethird of the voting members on the SPC. The municipal ‘seat’ can be represented by council members or other persons that represent municipal interests such as municipal employees. The nominee must live, work and/or own or rent land in the Cataraqui Source Protection Area; they can not be a Cataraqui Conservation employee or Board member. In 2007, it was agreed that the municipal representatives would be drawn from eastern, central, western, and area at large for a total of four (4) representatives who represents the interests of all the municipalities.

Verona Housing Water and Wastewater Master Plan Update

Report Number:

2024-096

Summary The purpose of this report is to seek approval from Council to issue the Notice of Completion for the Verona Housing Water and Wastewater Servicing Master Plan and to place the project report on public record for the required 30-day notice period. Recommendation That Council direct staff to issue a Notice of Completion for the Verona Housing Water and Wastewater Servicing Master Plan; and That the Verona Housing Water and Wastewater Servicing Mater Plan Report be placed on public record for the required 30-day comment period Background On December 6, 2022, Township Council awarded RFP # PS-P02-2022 to J. L. Richards and Associates (JLR) for the completion of the Verona Housing Water and Wastewater Master Plan. This follow up study was initiated based on the key recommendations of the approved Verona Housing Master Plan by MHBC Planning Ltd. The key focus of the study was to determine the preferred communal servicing options for water and wastewater though the Municipal Class EA – Master Plan process. J L Richards project team has been actively working on the study over the last year and a half and has completed several milestones including: • • • • •

Discussion/Analysis On May 21st, 2024, J. L. Richards and Associates presented its second progress update for the Verona Housing Water and Wastewater Master Plan. This report provided an outline of the water and wastewater alternatives presented to the public along with the screening activities carried out to arrive at a recommended solution. The recommended solution for servicing the lands was presented as Option # 2 which includes an onsite groundwater well and an onsite subsurface sewage disposal system. The Township has not received any major objections to the recommended alternative, and JLR is therefore recommending that the Township proceed to issue a Notice of Completion and to place the Master Plan on public record for 30 days. Once the Master Plan is finalized, the recommendations of the master plan will be valid for 10 years. The Township may proceed with the remaining studies needed to support the preferred solution including the applicable Class EAs for new water supply, water treatment, water distribution, and subsurface sewage disposal.

Summary This report provides Council with a summary of the Community Grant applications received and seeks approval for the proposed funding allocations. Recommendation That Council approve nineteen (19) Community Grant applications as noted in Exhibit A totalling $47,573. That a second intake with a due date of July 31, 2024, be conducted to utilise the unallocated funds for the community’s benefit. That Section 2 of the Community Grants Policy be amended to permit multiple applications in one intake from one applicant, provided they are for different streams. That Schedule 1 of the Community Grants Policy be amended to permit decision making at the earliest possible. That Schedule 1 of the Community Grants Policy be amended to remove the reference to a scoring system. Background Township established a Community Grants program to support and encourage community organizations and events that enrich the quality of life within the Township. Applications are invited through the website and newspaper each year and assessed according to the policy approved by Council. Discussion/Analysis Twenty-one (21) applications were received this year and evaluated by the Chief Administrative Officer, the Treasurer, and the Financial Analyst to determine eligibility according to the Community Grants Policy. Where necessary, clarifications or additional information was sought from the applicants. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Nineteen (19) proposals were found eligible and are recommended grant funding subject to all terms and conditions of the policy being met and a grant agreement signed, prior to any release of funds. Updates to the Policy The policy states that an applicant can only qualify for funding once per year per stream. However, different streams may be applied to in subsequent intakes. Staff are recommending that the language be amended to different streams may be applied to in the same intake. This will enable community organisations to apply earlier in the year under multiple streams and undertake projects or events sooner. Evaluation panel will give due weightage to the fact that there maybe more than one grant being flowed to the same organization and balance it with the rest of the applications. Staff recommend that the sentence Grant decisions are anticipated to be announced by mid-May be replaced with Grant decisions are anticipated to be announced as soon as possible after application close date. Lastly, staff recommend that the sentence A pre-determined scoring system will be used by the Township prior to beginning a review process be deleted. Given the diversity of requests, it is not practical to evaluate them all with the same scoring system. Criteria for the various funding streams are already listed under each and will be used to determine eligibility. Financial Implications The 2024 budget approved by Council includes $35,000 for community grants. Unused 2023 funds $ 30,056 have been carried over, resulting in a total of $65,056 being available for allocation. The evaluation panel recommends approval of $47,573 to 19 applicants, as detailed in Exhibit A. Funding Stream Capital Operating Sponsorship TOTAL

Rogers Communications Canada Inc. Cell Tower Proposal C8788 – 3195 Sunbury Road

Report Number:

2023-091

Summary Rogers Communication is proposing a new 90m guyed telecommunications tower in Sunbury at 3195 Sunbury Road. Rogers is requesting the Township pass a resolution concurring with the proposal to locate the telecommunications tower on this property and send a letter to Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (formerly Industry Canada) indicating whether the Township concurs with this proposal. Recommendation That the Township of South Frontenac concur with the proposal by Rogers Communications Inc. to erect a wireless communication installation on lands known as 3195 Sunbury Road (PIN 36296-0608); and That the proposal is compliant, with the requirements of ISED Canada’s default protocol CPC-2-0-03 Issue 5 (July 2014) “Radiocommunication and Broadcasting Antenna Systems”, and all obligations for the municipal and public consultation requirements have been met; and That staff send a statement of concurrence to Rogers Communication Inc. and to Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada. Background Rogers Communication Inc. (Rogers) is proposing a new 90m guyed tower telecommunications facility and an ancillary equipment structure surrounded by chain link fencing, at 3195 Sunbury Road. The tower site is to be accessed from Battersea Road. The property location is bounded by Sunbury Road to the south and Battersea Road to the north and west. The property is located within the settlement area of Sunbury and is zoned UR1. To the east of the property are agricultural lands. The property is adjacent to the Township Fire Hall and Storrington Centre on Battersea Road. Lands zoned UR1 abut the property to the north, west, and south. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

The site location is proposed on the middle portion of the property that is elevated. The closest tower is approximately 3.1km from the proposed location, however this is a 75m self-supported Bell tower that does not provide sufficient height for Rogers’ purposes. The nearest Rogers tower is 10.2km from the proposed location. This new tower will provide improved coverage for local residents and the traveling public. The design of the tower is a 90m guyed tower which will have ample space to provide for future co-location opportunities. Rogers Communication provided the Township with a Site Selection and Justification Report (Exhibit A), Site Survey (Exhibit B), and a Consultation Summary report (Exhibit C). Cell tower licences are approved by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED, formerly Industry Canada). The provisions of the Planning Act and other municipal by-laws and regulations do not apply to federal undertakings. However, as part of the approval process, a proponent is required to obtain a letter of concurrence from the municipality in which it is to be located. A municipality may issue a Statement of Concurrence supporting the proposal; a Conditional Letter of Concurrence indicating support for the proposal if certain conditions are met, or a Letter of Non-concurrence if it does not support the proposal. Discussion/Analysis Rogers requires a resolution from the Township indicating support of its application and a statement of concurrence with the application as part of the Industry Canada (IESD) approval process of issuing a licence for the communication towers. If they do not receive the resolution and letter, Rogers can petition Industry Canada for a decision. There has been strong public support for increased internet and cellular services in the Township over the last few years. Through the COVID pandemic, work at home and the need for business to shift to online highlighted this need. Increased internet and cellular coverage in the Township also improves safety and connectivity for residents and visitors to the Township. Increased internet and cellular communication also assists staff to deliver modern and efficient services throughout the Township. While the Township is not the approval authority for communication towers, it does have an important role in indicating to IESD whether or not it supports the tower proposal. Financial Implications None. This project will be undertaken by Rogers at no expense to the Township.

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. Notice/Consultation If a municipality does not have its own public consultation policy for communication towers, the IESD consultation process is used. South Frontenac Township does not have a Local Protocol for communication tower siting. Rogers provided a Public Notification Package to the nine property owners within the required 342.5m radius of the proposed installation. The notice was issued by regular mail on March 22, 2024. The notice described the proposal and invited comments by mail, electronic mail, or phone before April 27, 2024. A newspaper ad was also published in the March 28, 2024, edition of The Frontenac News notifying the public of the proposal and inviting residents to provide comments within 30 days of the notice. Rogers provided a consultation summary report advising that no public comments were received during the consultation process. South Frontenac Staff The following internal stakeholders were consulted in the development of this report:

Troy Dunlop, Manager of Engineering and Capital Projects, Public Services Rebecca Roy, Chief Building Official Del Blakney, Fire Chief

Staff noted that an entrance permit will be required for the access is from Battersea Road. Public Services advised that they do not have concerns with the proposed entrance location. Conclusion Township staff are supportive of the project as this location will provide maximum internet coverage in the area. This project assists with EORN’s goal of increasing critical communication services to Eastern Ontario. Staff are satisfied that Rogers has complied with the consultation requirements of ISED Canada’s default protocol CPC-2-0-03 Issue 5 (July 2014) “Radiocommunication and Broadcasting Antenna Systems”.

Site Selection/Justification Report – Wireless Communications Site Prepared for: Township of South Frontenac Rogers Site: C8788 Moreland-Dixon Rd. & South Frontenac Rd. 12

Rogers Communications Inc. | 8200 Dixie Road | Brampton ON L6T 0C1 Christian Lee | Municipal Relations | (613) 799-9900

Page 152 of 196 Introduction Like many areas of the province, your community is experiencing a growing demand for wireless services. As people rely more on wireless devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops for business and personal use, network improvements are required to ensure high quality voice and data services are available. This document outlines the site selection process in accordance with the requirements of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s (ISED) Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Policy, CPC-2-0-03, Issue 6 (CPC) updated July, 2022 and provides a description of the system to be installed east of Battersea Rd., north of Sunbury Rd. Telecommunications is a powerful economic enabler that promotes home occupations, teleworking, telecommuting and improved community networking and information dissemination. This site is part of the EORN Cell Gap Project. Background and Coverage Requirement A wireless telecommunications facility is a puzzle piece in a very complex radio network, whether that site is situated in an urban, suburban or rural setting. Customer demand and sound engineering principles direct where sites are required to be located. As people rely more on wireless devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops for business and personal use, network improvements are required to ensure high quality voice and data services are available. In order for a wireless network to be reliable, an operator must provide “seamless” coverage so that gaps in the network are avoided. Gaps create dropped calls and overall poor service to customers. Rogers is committed and mandated by its license to ensure the best coverage and service to the public and private sectors. The proposed site will achieve the necessary engineering coverage objectives for our network. The location will provide much relied upon communication services in the area such as EMS Response, Police and Fire; improved wireless signal quality for the local residents, those traveling along the major roads, as well provide local subscribers with wireless network coverage and capacity for products and services such as iPhones, Smartphones, Tablets and wireless high speed internet in the surrounding area. Rationale for New Telecommunication Infrastructure In identifying a potential new tower location and design, Rogers examined the surrounding area, assessed the visibility of the structure and considered a possible structure design. Rogers evaluated the best location for a new facility using the following criteria: a) Technical Requirements The performance of a wireless network is dependent on the geographical location of its equipment, height of its antennas, line-of-sight requirement, the demand customers place on the network, as well as proximity to our users. Please refer for the following page for an aerial outlining the site location (Figure 1).

Page 153 of 196

Figure 1 – Aerial of the proposed location.

b) Coverage Objectives Rogers’ Network Planning and Engineering departments have determined that the placement of this site will provide a dramatic improvement in service for the area and will meet the coverage objectives.

c) Evaluation of Existing Structures When a part of a network requires improvement, the first step is to evaluate existing structures that are located within the specific geographical area offering the required height and that may be available to support new equipment or to use for co-location. During the site selection process for this proposed installation, Rogers determined that no other existing infrastructure opportunity was available in our target area that was suitable for our network. The closest antenna system is ~3.1km from the proposed location, however it is a 75m self-support Bell Tower that does not offer sufficient height for Rogers’ purposes.

Page 154 of 196 The map below (Figure 2) illustrates the proposed location in relation to the other existing structures assessed. Please also refer to the table provided below for site location and associated height – (Figure 3). Figure 2 – Existing structures map

d) Land-Use Considerations Rogers’ site selection process is a balanced exercise that must meet Rogers’ network coverage objectives, respect local land-use constraints, listen to community concerns, while at the same time reflecting Rogers obligation to its customers to provide a high quality of service. From a technical standpoint, the proposed site location is within the search radius and will provide optimal coverage to the desired area. The tower footprint will be using only a small fraction of the property owner’s large lot. Access to the site will be from a new entrance to the property from Battersea Rd., and will not disturb the land-owner’s current use of the property or affect community traffic flow. The proposed site will be setback from Battersea Rd. by ~237m.

Page 155 of 196 Proposed Facility Location and Site Details The site as proposed will be a 90m guyed tower installation. Geographic coordinates:

44°23'11.27"N, 76°25'21.76"W

All efforts have been made to minimize the number of cellular base station locations required throughout the targeted area and yet allow for a network design which can adequately provide wireless voice and data service to our existing and new customer base. Please also refer below for a sample of the installation for your reference (Figure 4 ) . An additional package of photo simulations is provided with this report. The viewscapes simulate the view of the proposed installation from different locations. The process of simulating the proposed facility into the existing conditions of the viewscapes was done by superimposing an image of the proposed structure on the photographs taken for those viewscapes. Figure 4 – Sample image of proposed installation

Site Selection Rogers strives to be sympathetic to the surrounding land-use features and takes all reasonable steps required by local land use authority to mitigate concerns with respect to planning and environmental matters. It is important to note that the selection of a site for a telecommunication antenna support structure does not occur randomly. Among the factors considered are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 5

expected usage patterns of service and proximity to users local topography and building types interaction with existing and future sites line of sight requirements for high quality communications opportunities to use existing structures availability of a willing property owner the industry’s commitment to high service standards and customer satisfaction.

Page 156 of 196 The following are some of the considerations used by Rogers/EORN in development of the proposal: •

The proposed site location is approximately 237m from the edge of the asphalt of Battersea Rd.

•

The design selected for this proposal is appropriate considering the area context and will best achieve our objectives, as well as provide for future co-location opportunities of other wireless service providers in an attempt to limit the number of structures in the area.

•

The installation will have no impact on the watershed or the wells, water quality or any water systems. No chemicals, pesticides or herbicides that could potentially have an adverse effect on the water systems will be contained on our structure or the associated walk-in radio equipment cabinet.

•

During construction, precautions will be taken to minimize any disruption to the current use of the site and to the surrounding residents. Once site is in-service, there will be no noise associated with the daily operation of the installation.

The site will occupy a compound area of approximately 9.5x7.5m, surrounded by 2.4m high chain link security fence. The compound also contains a walk-in equipment cabinet (WIC) containing radio equipment, backup battery power, maintenance tools, manuals and a first aid kit. The installation is equipped with a silent alarm system. The site is designed to provide 3-sectored 700, 2100, MHz LTE and 5G services. It will also accommodate future TBD technologies. Rogers considers this location and design ideal to provide superior coverage levels and service to Rogers’ customers.

Municipal and Public Notification Rogers has a strong history of consultation with municipalities and understands the importance of land-use protocols and transparency in consultation. As the provisions of the Ontario Planning Act and other municipal by-laws and regulations do not apply to federal undertakings, wireless communication facilities are not required to obtain municipal permits. However, Section 4.1 of the CPC, states that the concerns and suggestions expressed by land-use authorities are important elements to be considered by proponents when installing or modifying antenna systems. ISED requires that consultation be undertaken with the appropriate land-use authorities to ensure those authorities are aware of significant structures within their boundaries and so that local land-use issues can be raised, while respecting the federal government’s jurisdiction in the siting and operation of wireless voice and data systems. The Township of South Frontenac has not developed its own protocol for establishing telecommunication facilities in the Township, therefore Rogers will follow ISED’s Default Protocol. The protocol outlines the land-use consultation process relevant to evaluating wireless communication installation proposals. In accordance with this policy, proponents must provide a notification package to the local public within a radius of 342.5m from the tower structure. A notice will also be provided to the Township of South Frontenac and the ISED regional office.

Page 157 of 196 Concurrent to the mailing of a Public Consultation package, Rogers will also place a notice in a print edition of Frontenac News. Federal Requirements In addition to the requirements for consultation with municipal authorities and the public, Rogers must also fulfill other important obligations, including the following: Environmental Standards ISED requires that the installation and modification of antenna systems be done in a manner that complies with appropriate environmental legislation, including the Impact Assessment Act (S.C. 2019, c. 28, s. 1).1 Rogers attests that the radio antenna system described in this notification does not qualify as a Designated Project under the Impact Assessment Act and is excluded from environmental assessment under the Impact Assessment Act.

Transport Canada’s Aeronautical Obstruction Marking Requirements Aerodrome safety is under the exclusive jurisdiction of NAV Canada and Transport Canada. An important obligation of Rogers’ installations is to comply with Transport Canada / NAV CANADA aeronautical safety requirements. Transport Canada performs an assessment of the proposal with respect to the potential hazard to air navigation and will notify Rogers of any painting and/or lighting requirements for the antenna system. Rogers has submitted the appropriate applications and expects this tower to require lighting. A large shield will be placed under the light to protect the surrounding ground area from light scatter. Rogers will notify the Township of the decision by Transport Canada once it is received. Rogers Communications Inc. attests that the radio antenna system described in this notification package will comply with Transport Canada / NAV Canada aeronautical safety requirements. For additional detailed information, please consult Transport Canada2. Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 Compliance Health Canada is responsible for research and investigation to determine and promulgate the health protection limits for Exposure to the RF electromagnetic energy. Accordingly, Health Canada has developed a guideline entitled “Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Field in the Frequency Range from 3kHz to 300 GHz – Safety Code 6”. The exposure limits specified in Safety Code 6 were established from the results of hundreds of studies over the past several decades where the effects of RF energy on biological organisms were examined. Radiocommunication, including technical aspects related to broadcasting, is under responsibility of the Ministry of Industry (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada), which has the power to establish standards, rules, policies and procedures. ISED, under this authority, has adopted Safety Code 6 for the

Proposed Wireless Communication Site: C8788 Moreland-Dixon Rd. & South Frontenac Rd. 12

On behalf of Rogers Communication Inc. (“Rogers”), I would like to submit for your review and consideration a summary of the municipal and public consultation process for the purpose of issuing a statement of concurrence concerning a proposed wireless communication site to be located east of Battersea Rd., north of Sunbury Rd. Project Description & Proposed Location Rogers is constantly improving and expanding its infrastructure to meet the ever-growing demand for high-quality reliable wireless voice and data services. The proposed site is needed to improve our wireless voice and data services in the community and to meet the objectives of the EORN Cell-Gap Project. The proposed wireless communication installation consists of a 90m guyed communication tower and a walk-in equipment cabinet located within an enclosed compound. Municipal & Public Consultation Process Rogers is regulated and licensed by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED, formerly Industry Canada) to provide inter-provincial wireless voice and data services. As a federal undertaking, Rogers is required by ISED to consult with land-use authorities in siting tower locations. The consultation process established under ISED’s authority is intended to allow the local land-use authorities the opportunity to address land-use concerns while respecting the federal government’s exclusive jurisdiction in the siting and operation of wireless and data systems. The provisions of the Ontario Planning Act and other municipal by-laws and regulations do not apply to federal undertakings. Rogers is, however, required to follow established and documented wireless protocols or processes set forth by land-use authorities. Rogers submitted an Application for an Antenna System to the Township of South Frontenac via email on March 21st, 2024 for a wireless communications installation to be located on east of Battersea Rd.

Proposed General Amendments to Zoning By-law

Report Number:

2024-090

Summary This report provides Council with information about Township-initiated proposed amendments to Zoning By-law No. 2003-75, as amended. The proposed amendments relate to administrative errors, penalties for contravening the zoning by-law, additional dwelling units, site-specific holding symbols, and a holding symbol on a private property to address archaeology matters. Recommendation For information only. Background/Discussion Township staff are proposing a Township-initiated amendment to Zoning By-law No. 200375, as amended, to address matters that have arisen over the past year. The proposed amendments relate to administrative errors, penalties for contravening the zoning by-law, additional dwelling units, site-specific holding symbols, and a holding symbol on a private property to address archaeology matters. Administration of Zoning By-law Planning Services regularly prepares a consolidated version of the Zoning By-law that includes all amending by-laws passed by Council. The consolidated version is for convenience of reference only. Sometimes, technical information on the schedules needs to be updated. Also, a variety of numbering, grammatical and typographical errors are found from time to time. It is proposed to add a section to the Zoning By-law authorizing the Director of Development Services or their designate to make editorial revisions to the Zoning By-law without the need for an amendment in a manner that does not change the intent of a provision or affect the zoning of lands.

Violations and Penalties The Planning Act includes a penalty for contraventions of a zoning by-law. A person may be liable for fines of up to $25,000 on a first conviction, and for fines up to $10,000 a day on subsequent convictions. Fines are doubled for corporations. Courts can also make orders prohibiting the continuation or repetition of an offence. Proceeds of fines are paid to the Municipality. Zoning By-law No. 2003-75, as amended, includes a provision that speaks to violations and penalties in general terms. The Township Clerk requested that the fines specified in the Planning Act be added to the Zoning By-law to draw attention to seriousness of contravening the by-law. It is the opinion of the Township’s solicitor that this addition could be beneficial for enforcement matters. Additional Dwelling Units On September 19, 2023, Council passed By-law 2023-74 to amend Zoning By-law No. 2003-75 to permit additional dwelling unit in the Township. This By-law took effect in January 2024. The By-law established a Township-wide holding overlay for additional dwelling units. The intent was that this holding overlay would exclude the area connected to the Sydenham municipal water service. The intent was documented in the September 19, 2023 staff report. It came to the attention of staff that the Schedule to By-law 2023-74 (now Schedule “I” in the Zoning By-law) excluded all lands within the Sydenham Settlement Area boundary instead of the Sydenham water service area from the holding overlay. The implication of this error is that 5 properties on the water service are subject to the holding provision, and about 55 properties that should be subject to the holding provision are not. It is proposed to amend Schedule I to ensure that all lands outside the Sydenham water service area are subject to the holding overlay for additional dwelling units, as intended by Council when it passed By-law 2023-74. Property owners that may be directly impacted by this proposed amendment will be notified of the public meeting by mail. Site-Specific Holding Symbols A holding symbol is a zoning tool, authorized through section 36 of the Planning Act. A holding symbol is used to put limits on development of land, until certain conditions are met. Holding symbols are applied for a number of reasons. For example, the need for an environmental impact study or archaeological study to assess impact of a proposed development, the need to demonstrate that there is adequate potable water for a development, and the need to enter into an agreement with the Municipality (such as a subdivision agreement).

In the Township, holding symbols are often associated with site-specific zoning, and so the conditions that need to be met are outlined in the site-specific zone (e.g. RLS-10-H). However, there have been a few instances where holding symbols are not associated with site-specific zoning and there is nowhere to record them in the Zoning By-law (e.g. RU-H). It is proposed to add a section to the Zoning By-law where site-specific and area-specific holding symbols can be recorded going forward. This will make it easier for people to find out what conditions need to be met to remove the holding symbol on any given property. It is proposed that the first holding symbol to be added to this section is the one that was placed on a property on Bedford Road through By-law 2023-53. Holding Symbol to Address Archaeology Matters 6082 Cemetery Road abuts the Verona Cemetery, and a portion of the cemetery property cuts into the private property. A burial site was discovered on the property in September 2021. The Ministry of Citizenship and Multiculturalism became responsible for the site and required the Owner to conduct an archaeological assessment. An archaeological assessment was completed in 2022, and the Registrar made their declaration in December 2022. The human remains were disinterred from the site and reinterred in the Verona Cemetery. The property continues to have high archaeological potential. There must be no alteration, excavation, disturbance, interference with, destruction, removal or modification of the land or the soil situated within the subject lands by any person other than by prior agreement with the Ministry of Citizenship and Multiculturalism. Alterations and soil disturbance to an archaeological site prior to meeting requirements of the Ontario Heritage Act is an offence subject to penalty. The Ministry required the Township to commit to ensuring that no further development occurs on the property without first conserving archaeological resources for this property. This includes protecting an identified archaeological site, requiring archaeological assessment prior to development anywhere else within the property, and requiring archaeological assessment to identify any burials. It is proposed that this be accomplished by undertaking the process of placing a holding symbol on the zone of the property. The draft by-law is based on preliminary feedback from the Ministry. The property owner and the Ministry of Citizenship and Multiculturalism will be notified of the public meeting. Public Meeting The purpose of this report is to provide information about the proposed amendments to Township Council in advance of a public meeting. The statutory public meeting required by the Planning Act will be scheduled for June 18, 2024. Staff will provide a brief presentation about the proposed amendments at the public meeting. After the presentation, staff will address questions from Council, as well as members of the public. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Development Charges Background Study and By-law Update

Report Number:

2024-092

Summary The Township’s current Development Charges By-law 2019-48 will expire on August 6, 2024. To continue to impose development charges, the Township will need to adopt a new Development Charges By-law prior to this date. A Development Charges Background Study and By-law update are currently in process and this report provides an update to Council regarding project timelines. Recommendation This Report is for information purposes only. Background The Development Charges Act, 1997, governs the collection of Development Charges (DC). The intent of DCs is to ensure that infrastructure costs arising from increasing population and employment are funded by new development that benefits from the introduction of the new services (user-pays approach). DCs have been established to ensure that these costs are not borne by existing residents and businesses through property taxes or water/sewer rates. The project includes development of a Growth Analysis Study update, Development Charges Background Study, a statutory public meeting, and Council consideration of a Development Charges By-law. Discussion/Analysis Development Charges Background Study In April 2024, the Township initiated a Development Charges Background Study process as required by the Development Charges Act before passing a new Development Charges bylaw. The Development Charges Background Study was released publicly on May 16, 2024, and is required to include: • • •

A forecast of the amount, type, and location of future development; The average service levels provided by the Township over the 15-year period immediately preceding the preparation of the background study; Capital cost calculations for each eligible development charge related service; www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report Number: 2024-092

• •

Page 184 of 196

An examination of the long-term capital and operating costs for infrastructure required to service the forecasted development; and An asset management plan to demonstrate that all assets included in the study are financially sustainable over the full life cycle.

Legislation requires a full background study be prepared to justify development charges fees which includes population and growth projections. The background study is required to be released and available for 60 days before Council considers the new by-law. The DC Background Study was made available online at the Township’s website on May 16, 2024, and copies will be also available at the Clerk’s Office and the Development Services Department. The background study will be promoted using the Township’s social media accounts. Statutory Public Meeting Staff is proposing June 18, 2024, as the date to hold a statutory Public Meeting of Council under Section 12 of the Development Charges Act. The public meeting will be advertised in the Frontenac News in advance of the meeting. The purpose of the June 18th statutory public meeting is to give the public an opportunity to ask questions, provide comments, and make representations on the 2024 DC Background Study and the proposed By-law. The public will also be invited to provide comments in writing. The Township’s consultant will attend and present the DC background study and draft bylaw(s) at the statutory public meeting. This will include presenting to council an overview of the draft findings, including draft calculated DC charges and proposed policy changes. Growth Analysis Study Update The Growth Forecast Update Report will form a key input to a comprehensive and defensible D.C. background study update. The Growth Forecast Update Report will contain a 30-year demographic analysis and forecast of population, household, and employment growth for the Township of South Frontenac from 2021 to 2051 (in five-year intervals). This growth update is needed to ensure that recent changes in growth patterns experienced by the Township are contemplated in a new forecast to 2051. A separate information report and presentation to Council will be provided regarding the findings from the Growth Analysis Study update. Proposed Project Timelines The following are key dates for the Development Charges Background Study and By-law: •

May 16, 2024 –Release Background Study & Draft By-law to public

•

June 18, 2024 –Statutory Public Meeting

•

July 16, 2024 –Council Consideration of By-law

Report Number:

2024-095

Summary The purpose of this report is to provide Council an update on the Town Hall administrative office expansion project. Recommendation This Report is for information purposes only. Background In 2022, a feasibility study was completed to provide options for expanding the Township’s administrative offices located at 4432 George Street including the expansion of the existing building along with alternatives. On March 7, 2023 Council supported the option to expand the existing space and approved the design and preparation of construction drawings. On July 18, 2023 Council approved the detailed design for the Town Hall expansion project to Colbourne & Kembel Architects Inc. Discussion/Analysis The Town Hall expansion design kicked off by completing a functional program with each department to determine current and future staffing, workstations, and meeting room requirements. The conceptual drawings from the feasibility study were updated with this information and have since been advanced to the 66% drawing package. Floor plans and 3D renderings of the outside elevations can be found in Exhibit A and B attached to this report. Key highlights of the design are: Office Expansion • • • • •

Additional 4,475 ft2 of floor space (approximately 2,239 ft2 per floor) Additional 10 workstations for a total of 42 workstations and 35 offices Additional three washrooms for a total of seven Additional three meeting rooms including one for Council closed session meetings Additional 23 parking spaces including a separate staff parking lot in the back www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.
