Bill Robinson declared a pecuniary interest with respect to Page 27 of the Accounts Payable Voucher. 3.
Delegations
(a) Bud Davies, Representative ofO’Neil Lane Bud Davies addressed CouncU with concerns from residents of O’Neil Lane
about garbage and recycling pick up. This lane currently does not have pick
up provided by the township and residents are not supportive of a communal garbage bin as other residents dump their garbage in the bin on Sunday nights and someone has to clean up the mess. He stated that Larmon’s used to clean up the mess and now the Roads Department has had to clean the garbage up. He stated that Mark Segsworth informed him that there is no garbage and recycling pick up on O’Neil Lane and that this was not one of the lanes that have been grandfathered in. He contacted Councillor FiIUon concerning the problem and Councillor Fillion felt a turn
around was needed for the trucks to accommodate pick up and the contractors have agreed to pick up garbage and recycling free of charge to residents and to the township. He stated that the Mayor told the contractors to stop carrying out pick up on this lane. He felt that the garbage bin would not be big enough to hold 28 bags of garbage and that the entrance to O’Neil
Lane was too narrow to accommodate a garbage bin. He expressed concerns with regard to food wastes from Garret’s Meat Shop, snow ploughs hitting bagged garbage and an overall safety concern that the bin would block view
of oncoming traffic. He stated that he has 28 years experience in traffic
investigation and collisions and he felt that there is a liability issue in placing a garbage bin at this intersection.
John Fillion stated that he is aware of the ongoing problem and that they had promised^ look at providing garbage and recycling pick up on O’Neil
lane once the lane was upgraded to township standards. He commented that
the lane has been fixed up and the entrance has been improved. He noted

August 3rd, 2010
that currently there is a half ton truck going down the lane and then feeding the refuse to a larger truck. He referred to the private lane upgrade program »
Del Stowe stated that he understood the concerns of the residents and
referred to the township policy with respect to private lane standards. He noted that Council is trying to establish the same level of service across the board and suggested that if we change the policy to include O’Neil Lane there are several lanes within Bedford district that will want the same 4
service.
Bill Robinson agreed with Bud Davies and felt this was a common sense approach. He felt that if the contractor agrees to cover O’NeiI Lane at no extra charge to the township he did not see a problem. Larry York thanked the residents for their presentation. He felt that if the residents have taken money from their own pockets to improve the lane and that the township should be eacouragiug lane residents and they are still paying taxes and entitled to service. David Hahn noted the concerns expressed about the safety and access to the intersection. He suggested that the Public Works Manager provide a report to Council and was concerned with setting a precedent. He noted that the cost for pick up would sky rocket if the township allowed pick up on every lane.
John Fillioa filed a notice of motion for the next meeting as he felt O’NeiI Lane should be ‘grandfathered" in and requested a continuation of the service until the problem was resolved.
Del Stowe questioned the interpretation of “grandfathered” and the historical information with respect to this lane. Deputy Mayor Vandewal agreed with David Hahn that the Public Works Manager assess the situation and have a report to go along with the notice of motion filed by Councillor Fillion. Deputy Mayor Vandewal stated that this lane was not “grandfathered” to that extent and that the contractor is not providing pick up on behalf of the township. Del Stowe asked what the policy was on contractors providing this service on their own time.
Wayne Orr commented that it is difficult to continue with something that was not initiated by Council. Deputy Mayor Vandewal stated that this matter will have to wait until the September meeting to be addressed. Residents were encouraged to submit comments to the CAO. (b)
Doug Jordan, Stage Coach Road resident, re: Four Way Stop Petition Doug Jordan presented a petition from residents asking for a four way stop at the intersection of Railton and Stagecoach roads and a three way stop at the Forest Road intersection. He noted that a few years ago residents had asked for a speed limit reduction which has helped to slow the traffic down somewhat but felt that in light of the recent motor vehicle accident involving a fatality and that someone would have stopped if there had been a four way stop.
Minutes of Council August 3rd, 2010
Deputy Mayor Vandewal responded that someone may have stopped and not necessarily would have stopped.
Doug Jones asked for a curve ahead sign to be installed and felt that police presence would also be helpful.
more
?J<?^ ^y^y^?^l-^?lluellled. that hehad ao problem with the petition and that this situation merits being looked at. He asked the Public
Works Manager for a report on this request and he felt that Council would
nothave^a problem with a four way stop. He agreed that something should
be done but commented that it will take time to prepare a report and look
into this request. He noted that he drives a school bus five days per week, ten
months of _the year and agrees that speeding is a problem. He commended
the Public Works Manager for the improvements that have been completed David Hahn agreed with Deputy Mayor Vandewal that this is a serious
problem that needs further review of the Public Works Manager.
Doug Jordan was concerned that all intersections are addressed in the report aud asked about a study of this intersection.
DeP"ty Mayor Vandewal responded that there will not be a study but that the Public Works Manager will provide a report on his recommendations.
Wayne Orr informed the residents that a copy of the report will be available to them.
Deputy Mayor Vandewal reminded residents that if they wish to speak at the next Council meeting that they will need to request to be put on the agenda as a delegation once again.
- Public Meeting Resolution No. 2010-24-02
Moved by Jim Hicks
Seconded by Larry York
THAT a public meeting be held to discuss planning matters related to: . Zoning By-law Amendment Z-10/14, Concession I, Lot 23, District of Storrington - Sloan-Latimer .
Zoning By-law Amendment Z-10/016, Concession IV, Part Lot 2, District of Loughborough - Silver
Carried.
(a) Zoning By-law Amendment ZrlO/14, Concession 1, Lot 23, District of Storrmgton - SIoan-Latimer
Lindsay Mills explained that the subject property is a 223 acre parcel and the applicant wants to create a new residential lot of 2.6 acres with only 163 {eetof road frontage. He felt that the reduced frontage was justified as it is infiUing and the lot already exists with this frontage for all intents and purposes. The new lot would have more frontage than the other existing lots. Jim Hicks disagreed with Lindsay Mills and felt that this was only a little over half of the required frontage and felt that a site plan should be required.
Del Stowe questioned what the Official Plan requirements were. Lindsay MiU responded that the OP reads “generally 250 feet” but Council can reduce that if they feel it is justified.

August 3rd, 2010
Joanne Sloan-Latimer stated that a previous Council allowed the 50 foot silver and she is tiying to even up the lot lines. She noted that a 3.5’hour pump test has been completed and there is good water.
Johu Fillion referred to the Official Plan and that the overaU intent of the plan is maintained.
Bill Robinson stated that if the Planner agrees with this rezoning then he supported it as well.
There were no comments from the public.
(b) Zoning By-law Amendment Z-10/16, Concession IV, Part Lot 2, District of Loughborough - Silver
Lindsay Mills explained that the purpose of this application is to rezone portion of a 42 acre parcel of land from Rural to Special Rural Commercial
to permit a professional/ business office use. This application was supported
by a letter from the Frontenac Community Futures Development Corporation stating that there is a shortage of available office space in this
area. He was supportive of this rezoning but recommended first and second
reading of the by-law as Mr. Silver still needs to provide information with respect to the size of the structure and possibly a site plan. Del Stowe commended Mr. Silver on his previous endeavours. David Hahn felt this was a reasonable spot for this type of use and questioned the extension of the water system.
Lindsay Mills stated that the water system goes to the duplex just to the north east of the Silver property.
David Hahn suggested that consideration be given to extending the water to this development.
Colin Shelley commented that Rob Morgan was forced to hook up to the Sydenhamwater system when he built the duplex and he felt it was only fair
that Mr. Silver be required to hook up to the system too.
Fran Willes stated that residents are fortunate to have lots of water in this area due to artesian wells.
Del Stowe asked if a turning lane would be required.
Lindsay Mills replied that this may be required but we need more information on the scale of the proposal. He stated that the proposal is to use the existing entrance.
Deputy Mayor Vandewal stated that there will be input from the Public Works Manager.

temporary use by-law that was proposed would have been acceptable. Bill Robinson gave a notice of motion for reconsideration for the Rider deck .

John Fillion asked if the township solicitor was an expert on handicapped laws.
Lindsay Mills responded that Tony Fleming of Cunningham Swan recently handled a similar case
Jim Hicks asked the CAO about the status of the telephone lines, tendering and snow plowing concerns he had raised.
Wayne Orr responded that the Fire Chief is looking into the plowing of fireballs. He felt that he had explained that some phone numbers have been eliminated and that John FiIUon had clarified the confusion with respect to the Lead Hands and the awarding of tenders.
Jim Hicks stated that his concerns were more than just the plowing of fireballs as he was also concerned about private contractors using township saud.
Wayne Orr referred to the process and the resources available and

(c) Report from Anne Levac, Planning Assistant, re: Refund - Consent Application S-95-08-B (Sullivan)
Lindsay MUIs explained that Mr. Frank Sullivan applied to sever a lot from
property on Burridge Road and Green Lake in Bedford Township. However the main part of the property was separated from the road
frontage portion by an unopened road allowance and the severance could
not be granted until a portion of the road allowance was closed by the
township and transferred to him. Council was generally in favour of permitting the closure and sale of the relevant portion of road allowance however it was a fairly expensive proposition and he ultimately decided not to finalize the road closing. He stated that planning staff believes that Mr. Sullivan was not properly advised of the problem with the road allowance
prior _ to taking the application to Council and had already expended considerable funds.
Ron Vandewal stated that the Committee of Adjustment supported this refund.
Resolution No. 2010-24-08

that if the roadway was needed by the township the owner would have to relocate the well at that time.
Jim Hicks was concerned about the liability issues with salt contamination. David IIahn noted that the Burridge area is notorious for dry wells.
Del Stowe was concerned about the possibility of the well experiencing contamination.
Wayne Orr explained that the encroachment permit addresses the concerns raised by Council and that the township is required to give the property owner 60 days notice prior to making any changes with the road allowance
Lindsay Mills felt the permit was all encompassing with respect to the concerns raised.

Lindsay Mills, Planning Coordinator, re: Review of Applications for an
Official Plan Amendment (OPA-13) and Zoning By-law Amendment (Z10/06) in Part of Lot 7, Concession VII, District of Portland (Asselstine)
Lindsay Mills referred to his report and noted that these applications came to Council awhile ago. He explained that the subject property is half within
the hamlet designation and that the south half lies within the rural
designation. He noted that there is a maximum of 3 lots permitted in the Official Plan and he felt there was justification for the additional 3 lots
within the hamlet being a total of six lots from the parent parcel as the two separate lot developments are more than one kilometre apart. He also
noted that a neighbour had expressed concern about the water quantity as a result of extra development.
Mr. Mills reported that the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing are supportive of this concept and Council can now pass the by-law to affect the Zoning and Official Plan changes. (g)

hazardous waste facility prior to him being hired as Public Works Manager. He stated that the initial location was not ideal and through the salt management plan process the location was reviewed and it was determined

Mark Segsworth referred to his report and noted that the Edwards Ford tender price was under budget once the tax credit from the HST is considered.
John FUUon did not like the analysis in the report. He felt that the Ford truckwas not a standard work truck and was loaded pretty heavy. He noted that the tax credit from the HST would also apply to the lower bid. Del Stowe questioned the difference be the 4.8 and 5.0 litre engines. Mark Segsworth explained that Gananoque Chev Olds did not meet the required specifications for an engine larger than 5.0 litres with their submittal of a 4.8 litre V-8. After consulting the dealer it was determined

would need to be tendered.
