Public Meeting Resolution No. 2010-16-02
Moved by Allan McPhail
Seconded by Jim Hicks
That a public meeting be held to discuss matters related to: . Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment Z-10/06, Concession VII, Part Lot 23, District of Storrington, Dekaro Developments . Proposed Zoning by-law Amendment, Z-10/07, Concession XIII, Part Lots 4 and 5, District of Loughborough, Pedersen/MiIk Crate Farms . Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment Z-10/09, Concession XVII, Part Lot 2, District of Bedford, Barton
Carried.
(a) Z-10/06, Concession VII, Part Lot 23, District of Storrington, Dekaro Developments
Lindsay Mills explained that this amendment would rezone a 7 acre area of land that is being divided into three portions to be added to three existing abutting lots. He referred to Attachment #2 of his report which shows the lots that are being added to. The purpose of this amendment is to ensure that there is a consistent zone over the expanded properties. He noted that the lots configuration will not be ideal because two of the lots would wrap around the back of two existing lots. Ron Vandewal presumed that the other owners did not want lot additions which
created this wrap around configuration. Mayor Davison asked why this piece of area was left like this originally.
Minutes of Council
May 4th, 2010
Lindsay Mills replied that this was intended that the lot additions be done as part of the plan of subdivision for Deer Creek Phase lii and that was the township’s.
David Hahn stated that in other situations where one parcel has wrapped around another lot, the township has required greater setbacks be put in place to address this.
Jim Hicks asked if there was any way to put restrictions on these lot additions to prevent the owners from building on.
Lindsay Mills stated that this could be done however the by-law would need to be re-worded to address this restriction.
Larry York asked if this restriction would be monitored through the building permit process.
Lindsay Mills stated that it could be subject to a site plan agreement. John Fillion thought that the understanding with this parcel of land was that if no one was interested iu purchasing as lot additions the property would be left as green space
David Hahn suggested that these lot additions could still be green space and be privately owned.
Ron Vandewal asked if the developer currently owns Lot 16. Lindsay Mills responded that it was owned by Dekaro. He stated that he would amend the by-law.
There were no comments from the public. (b)
Z-10/07, Concession XIII, Part Lots 4 and 5, District of Loughborough, Pedersen/Milk Crate Farms
Lindsay Mills explained that this amendment would zone two proposed new waterfront lots to Limited Service Residential-Waterfront, two additional new waterfront residential lots to Special Limited Service Residential Waterfront and
a retained lot to Waterfront residential. This zoning change would recognize that the new lots would be for residential use with water frontage accessed by a private lane. He noted that there will be restrictions imposed on the lots on the point by way of a site plan agreement.
Allan McPhail questioned the access to these lots as being a private road given that it is 200 metres long. He recognized that by developing this to public road standards it would increase the developer’s costs however the expense would be off set because there would be a better basis for services and thus increased lot value.
Ron Vandewal disagreed with assuming this as it would only be for four lots and the developer would not recover his costs based on only four lots. David IIahn agreed with Allan McPhail that the developer should try and get the highest level of service for these lots. He noted that lane associations have
difficulty with getting all residents to cooperate. He felt this would not be au extra expense for the developer because the lots would increase in value with better roads.
Larry York stated that he agreed with Ron Vandewal. He felt there was no need for a hard top.

Minutes of Council May 4th, 2010

Del Stowe stated that Council should have addressed these concerns when this was previously brought forward to them.
Bill Robinson agreed with Ron Vandewal and suggested moving forward with
this development.
Allan McPhail felt that if there was a planning committee in place that there
would be an opportunity to review these types of developments rather than just dealing with them as presented at regular Council meetings. Lindsay Mills stated that there will be a site plan for each lot which will be addressed at the time of issuing building permits. Bill Pedersen questioned the shaded area on Attachment #5 and wondered what that represented.
Lindsay Mills explained that from the western boundary to the broken line there
is approximately 110 feet of buildable area. The septic systems can be located in the shaded areas, but no structures are to be located there.
There were no comments from the public. (c) Z-10/09, Concession XVII, Part Lot 2, District of Bedford, Barton
Lindsay Mills explained that this amendment would rezone a proposed new waterfront residential lot that would have only 34 metres (112 feet) of water frontage. The amendment would also rezone the retained portion of land to recognize its water frontage of only 41 metres (134 feet) and to establish a minimum 90 metre setback from the lake. He reminded Council that the owner
had come before Council in November of 2009 requesting that this be considered
a “technical severance” as the property had previously been two separate parcels but for some reason they have been merged. He noted that he had recommended
denial at the Committee of Adjustment stage and is recommending that this amendment be denied as it is not consistent with the intent of the Official Plan.
David Hahn stated that he was in favour of approving this. He noted that if this was a whole new development there would be no way of approving the amendment however he felt that what exists today will be what exists in the future with respect to this property. He felt that if a greater setback was imposed on the lot it would make it into a non-waterfront lot. He stated that we have had
similar situations in the past in Bedford and have set a precedent. Del Stowe agreed with David Hahn in that this would not be approved based on the current Official Plan. He stated that prior to amalgamation that Bedford Township allowed technical consents and he felt it was unfair that the properties have been merged. He felt that this situation qualifies as a technical consent and that the applicant has paid taxes based on two separate parcels. He asked the planner if there were any objections received with respect to the consent applications from the various agencies. Liudsay Mills confirmed that there were no objections received. Mayor Davison requested clarification on what a technical consent means.
Lindsay Mills referred to an example of a multiple unit townhouse building here a slight surveying error on the common walls. This would be a technical
severance to slightly realign the property lines to exactly line up with the common walls.
Mayor Davison stated that he had purchased properties in 1968 and 1971 and was told they would be merged within one year and one day.
Minutes of Councii

May 4th, 2010
Ron Vandewal stated that the applicant is not changing anything and while it is not a good situation it is not making the situation any worse.
BiM1 Robinson asked the planner to respond to the comments made by the
Bedford Councillors.
Lindsay Mills stated that it does not conform to the Official Plan and that others have had to complete an Official Plan Amendment to do this. He reminded Council that we are dealing with South Frontenac’s Official Plan and not Bedford Township’s old Official Plan.
John Fillion referred to Attachment #3 of the report and noted that we are not the City of Kingston.
Mayor Davison referred to two other applications that had been denied as they
did not meet the 150 metre water frontage requirement for narrow water bodies.
John Fillion responded that he thought the township was dealing with each application on its’ own merits.
Mayor Davison asked if there was a survey for this property. Mr. Barton stated that the properties had been merged in 2002. David Hahn commented that the planner had supplied a definition used for technical consents used by the City of Kingston as South Frontenac does not have a clear definition of this but he agreed that it is not a technical severance. Jim Hicks questioned the Committee of Adjustment passing the consent application. He felt the Official Plan should be thrown out the window if it going to be ignored.
Del Stowe stated that this has happened many times in Bedford District and that
a technical consent is referred to in the Official Plan but has never clearly been defined.
Ron Vandewal stated that if there were no existing buildings and the applicant was applying for two separate lots it would not have been approved. Del Stowe asked if the Committee of Adjustment approved the consent based on the rezoning. Lindsay Mills confirmed that rezoning had been a condition of consent. Mr. Barton referred to a technical severance and the definition that the Town of
Brighton uses.
Mr. Mills stated that if you contacted the Town of Brighton they will confirm that the rules of the day still apply. There were no comments from the public. Resolution No. 2010-16-03

Carried.
(b) Report from Wayne Orr, Clerk-Administrator, re: Notice of Motion - Brush at Portland Dump
Del Stowe felt there was more to just accepting brush and wondered if there is a ueed to prepare the site to accept brush.
Mark Segsworth stated that the township could receive the brush and grind it up or have it hauled away.
Ron Vandewal commented that it gets fairly complex if the brush is left to compost. He felt it would be simpler to have bins put in and drawn away when they are full. He suggested that Public Works look at the options as he was concerned with accepting the brush and what to do with it. David Hahn agreed that a report on what options are available was the next step.
Larry York felt that a chipper wouldn’t take much space and the mulch could be used for flower beds.
John Fillion noted that the Kingston Area Recycling Corporation is also an option for disposing of brush. Resolution No. 2010-16-07
Moved by Ron Vandewal
Seconded by John Fillion
THAT Council directs the Public Works Manager in conjunction with AECOM to report on the process to amend the Certificate of Approval for the Portland Carried. Dump Site to allow for the receipt of brush.
(c) Report from Wayne Orr, Clerk-Administrator, re: Notice of Motion - Second Building Inspector position
Minutes of Council
6
May 4th, 2010
Wayne Orr referred to his lengthy report with respect to the Notice of Motion by Councillor Robinson from the previous meeting. He noted that the statistics
from 2000-2009 and the job description have been included in this report. John Fillion asked if the Chief Building Official was a building inspector aud if Christa Johnston was also a building inspector.
Wayne Orr explained that both individuals are qualified building inspectors however one is a management position and the other is a unionized position.
John Fillion felt this would be the third building inspector. He noted that there were 66 new homes in 2009 and contractors are happy with the current level of
service being provided. He felt the department should be in their busy time now.
He stated that as a Councillor his job is to ensure that government does not grow faster than the economy.
Mayor Davison stated that the first two items on the agenda in the public
meeting dealt with subdivisions and that the township has not seen a down turn in building yet.
Bill Robinson stated that he likes to follow procedure and he felt that a straw vote at the Committee of the Whole meeting was not binding.
Wayne Orr responded that this was the reason this report had been brought back to the table for discussions.
David Hahn referred to Councillor Robinson’s comments and confirmed that no decisions are made at Committee of the Whole but reminded Councillor
Robinson that 8 out of 9 Council members agreed to the hiring of a second building inspector. He commented that this position had been part of the original draft budget and there is no impact on the tax rate.
Ron Vandewal asked if a second building inspector was hired and there was no work available could the township lay off the individual. Wayne Orr agreed that this would be the case.
Bill Robinson stated that he was still confused and asked if the position was still open
Del Stowe asked why we’re in this mess. He also questioned the increase in building permit fees as a result of this extra position. Mayor Davison responded that previously Council had decided this position was not needed.
Wayne Orr stated that the Chief Building Official believes the workload will support the position.
John Fillion felt that the numbers do not reflect justification for this position. He commented that one subdivision has been held up at the County level.
Del Stowe stated that there is a liability that exists in previous building permits. He asked Alan Revill how many files are still open.
Alan Revill responded that there were approximately 1500 open files. Resolution No. 2010-16-08
Moved by Jim Hicks
Seconded by Allan McPhaiI
THAT Council approves the posting and hiring of a second full time Building Inspector.

(c) Report from Anne Levac, Planning Assistant, re: Closing of unopened road allowance, Lots 18 and 19, Concession 10, Storrington District
Lindsay Mills explained that this report is a follow up to the last Council meeting. He noted that the unopened road allowance goes through the structure and Council had agreed not to charge for the portion of the road allowance that was shaped like a “home base” on the survey however there would be a cost for the remainder which totals $3525.00.
Ron Vandewal felt this was reasonable and fair to the applicant. Resolution No. 2010-16-11

D^r creek Estates that would facilitate lot additions to existing developed properties in Phase I.
Ron Vandewal_ felt this would only make the lot configurations messy and asked
what the difference would be if the township did not do act on this recommendation.
Lindsay Mills stated that this is an awkward shaped piece of land and without adding them to the lots in front anything could happen.
David Hahn agreed that it was a messy configuration however there are parties interested in purchasing these lot additions. Resolution No. 2010-16-12
Moved by David Hahn

but this was not a full reconstruction of pavement. There has been an increase
.
in
skid resistance and a reduced exposure to liability. He noted that the paved shoulders are also an improvement.
Jim Hicks asked if the lowest bidder had given any reason for not submitting references. Mark Segsworth responded no, but the requirement for references was part of the tender package.
Ron Vandewal commented that Sydenham Road is nice to drive on but agreed that it doesn’t look good although it is better than what it was.
John Fillion asked how much was spent on this project. Mark Segsworth replied that the project cost was $608,000.00. John Fillion stated that the cost was $77,000.00 for eight years.
Mark Segsworth felt this was still would have been more expensive to pave this section of road.
Bill Robinson asked what occurred to have the cracks appear so quickly in the road.
Mark Segsworth stated that the profile of the road was good and they knew that cracks would appear. He confirmed that this was not the “Cadillac” approach but the township needs far outweigh the resources available. He felt that
$70,000.00 to $80,000.00 per year will help to maintain the lifespan of Sydenham Road and in the meantime we can look at improving other roads. Del Stowe agreed with the complaints on this road and asked if the township is on part with expectations of this program.
Mark Segsworth confirmed that the Ministry of Transportation has tested Sydenham Road and skid resistance has been improved. Resolution No. 2010-16-15
Moved by Larry York
Seconded by David Hahn

(h) Report from Mark Segsworth, Public Works Manager, re: Line Painting Tender #2010-05
Mark Segsworth stated that three bids were received for this tender with a $1300.00 difference between the lowest and the highest bids. His recommendation was to accept the tender from Metro Pavement Marking as this contractor has been very accommodating in the past with multiple site visits as construction projects were completed and they had provided additional work at the same tendered price in a timely manner.
Jim Hicks asked if there were any negative comments regarding the other bidders.
Mark Segsworth stated that they had used the low bidder three years ago and found they had very poor customer relations. He commented that the second
lowest bidder has taken on an entire bid from another municipality. He felt the quality of service from Metro Marking was superior to the others.

(m) Report from Mark Segsworth, Public Works Manager, re: Rubber Tire Excavator Tender
Mark Segsworth referred to the email circulated to Council from the low bidder
of this tender. He explained that currently the township contracts out brushing although roads employees do some as well. He felt this purchase would
contribute to more efficiencies within the Road Department. In an objective effort to support his recommendation, the equipment operator was able to test the excavators offered by the three lowest bidders. Mark Segsworth stated that the Liebherr excavator is the same model that has been rented out.
Larry York was concerned that this may hurt local contractors.

Bill Robinson questioned the tender process and thought it was not right to provide current pricing and financial information.
Wayne Orr explained that the RFP is an open bidding process and that questions were invited from the public and public information was provided. Bill Robinson felt this was an unfair process that has never been done this way before.
Wayne Orr responded that the RFP was public information and this was part of the bureaucratic process and provides transparency as a township to the public. Ron Vandewal referred to the tenders awarded previously in the meeting and felt this was proof that the lowest bid is not necessarily accepted. (c)
Larry York commented that he would like to be a representative on the Sustainability Committee as Bedford District has been allowed two representatives.
