[0:03] Good morning everyone. I'll officially
call the meeting emergency meeting to
[0:07] order and the time is 8:45.
Uh to start with I'll read our land
[0:13] acknowledgement.
We respectfully acknowledge that the
[0:16] township of Asphodel Norwood is located
on the Treaty 20 Missagi territory in
[0:21] the traditional territory of the Missagi
and Chipoa nations collectively known as
[0:26] the Williams Treaties First Nations
which include Curve Lake, Hayawwa,
[0:31] Alterville, Skugog Island, Rama, Bole
and Georgina Island First Nations. The
[0:39] township of Asadel Norwood respect
respectfully acknowledges that the
[0:43] Williams Treaty First Nations are the
stewards and caretakers of these lands
[0:48] and waters in perpetuity and that they
continue to maintain these
[0:53] responsibilities to ensure health and
integrity for generations to come.
[1:06] Now ask any uh members of council do you
have any pecunerary interest before
[1:11] council
no hands we appro agenda may get a
[1:16] motion to approve today's agenda as
circulated
[1:21] uh councelor Dodge councelor Walsh all
in favor motion carried so we'll move
[1:28] right along to the staff reports Ed
thank you to you mayor
[1:32] Thank you everybody for coming to listen
this very timesensitive contract there.
[1:46] Oh yeah.
[1:49] Sorry about that. No problem. Turning
old cat with a hairball. It's the
[1:55] allergies. So DPH uh well-known
developer here. Uh they've done Nor Park
[2:03] phase 1, phase 2, phase three. We're now
uh getting deep into Nord Park phase 4.
[2:10] So the uh
first up was an official plan amendment
[2:15] and a zoning bylaw amendment. Those were
all approved. Then they did a consent
[2:19] application that was approved.
Uh this uh development will be 148 units
[2:28] uh
at the uh west end of Alpine Street in
[2:32] the village of Norwood. The subdivision
represents the fourth phase. There's
[2:38] going to be 96 single detached dwellings
and 52 town homes.
[2:43] And the development will uh provide an
extension to Alpine Street, three
[2:48] internal streets and a storm water
management pond, sanitary pumping
[2:53] station, green space, parkland,
walkways, and servicing corridors.
[2:59] And during the preliminary functional
servicing review, the town of the
[3:03] township infrastructure,
we noted that uh off-site works were
[3:08] required on Alpine Street, County Road
40, and Wellington Street.
[3:13] Alpine Street and County Road 40
off-site work, cost sharing,
[3:17] construction contracts. We will bring
them forward to the council at a later
[3:22] date, but just to give you a heads up
that it it'll be coming and fairly soon.
[3:27] Uh the township solicitor drafted the
North Park phase three uh cost sharing
[3:32] agreement and uh we more or less
mirrored that same agreement uh to for
[3:38] to save costs and everything. We just
used the same one. worked well for our
[3:42] other agreement.
Uh this one, the developer is
[3:46] responsible for 65% of the costs and the
township
[3:50] is uh responsible for 35% of the costs.
So the scope of work uh it's laid out in
[3:58] the uh contract that was attached to to
the uh report.
[4:05] There's a huge list of items and so I
just uh shortened it down to include
[4:11] site preparation,
removals, erosion control, servicing,
[4:15] and road construction. And if you look
in the report, you'll see that there's,
[4:21] you know, a dozen or more items under
each of those on how they're going to do
[4:25] things.
So this uh strengthens our community
[4:32] for the uh strategic plan and probably
you could tick off a few other items in
[4:36] the strategic plan as well.
uh financial uh implications. The 148
[4:44] dwelling units uh
uh this work that we do now will give us
[4:49] another 94 units. But eventually that 94
units and eventually when the 148 units
[4:57] is constructed, we have a potential of
uh some nice annual tax revenues and
[5:03] waste water or water revenues and
wastewater revenues.
[5:09] Uh along we'll have development charges
so we can put some money back into the
[5:13] reserves which is a great thing help
with everything. We'll have building
[5:17] permit fees and we'll have uh water and
wastewater connection fees as well. So
[5:23] it helps the water and the wastewater
department.
[5:27] Uh the township will fund 50% of our
portion of that 35%.
[5:34] uh
[5:37] I have on the report through reserves
but that's uh an error should be uh
[5:42] through our approved budget that we did
so just so that everybody is aware of
[5:47] that that uh I should have said budget
not the reserves and then the 50% of the
[5:53] project will be funded through the
development charges and the wastewater
[5:58] connection fees
uh as each building permit is issued the
[6:02] development charges and the wastewater
connection fees when we collect them the
[6:06] fees will be remitted back to the
contract
[6:11] contractor which is Baltter Contracting
Limited and that's acknowledged in the
[6:16] contract. Uh we did a quick estimate to
see uh what that actually looks like.
[6:22] And so for the uh for the road
construction part, it's about six
[6:27] dwelling units. And uh for the uh
uh servicing work for sanitary and all
[6:35] that type of stuff, it's about nine
permits. So uh that's really good. Yeah.
[6:42] So it's not like it's eating up all of
our monies, right? And so engagement
[6:46] we've uh Adam and Jeff and uh Jordan and
and DPH of course
[6:56] and uh so once built out the conclusion
of that I said uh it'll realize uh
[7:02] annual taxes revenues water wastewater
revenues
[7:07] and I think and I don't know a lot about
the township asset management plan but I
[7:12] know that if it's in a a poor or medium
category ory now that it's either going
[7:16] to end up in a better category or
excellent category. And I'm uh Jordan
[7:22] might be able to say what category would
end up being, but if it's brand new, it
[7:26] has to be in excellent condition. Yeah,
it is legit. Like, yeah. So, if you tell
[7:33] them it is if that is a uh if that's a
category, and I'm assuming it is. I've
[7:38] seen some of them before. And I'd be
happy to answer any questions if you
[7:43] have any. And Jordan's here to talk
about money and Adam's here if you need
[7:48] a
size. I only had one question. I I look
[7:52] at efficiencies and I was talking dead
this morning. I was hoping Jeff would
[7:55] have been here.
$14,000 almost $15,000 to rip the
[8:01] ashvault up. It's only a couple days
work. I didn't know if our guys could
[8:05] handle doing that. if the if um Jeff had
the time and resources to put two guys
[8:11] at doing that. I just I just try and
look at all savings at all possible. But
[8:17] uh we'll definitely look at that moving
forward because the ashold can go to the
[8:22] pit and when they're out there crushing
the pit then crush that ashalt and then
[8:26] we've got some maybe some more decent
material that we can use somewhere. Mhm.
[8:31] Mhm.
[8:35] Any questions of that, council? Council
W. Just one. Um, so those residents on
[8:40] Wellington, no no change to them in
terms of obviously they'll be rehooking
[8:44] up their laterals. Will we be giving
them advanced notice of this
[8:47] construction going on? It's part of
this, right? Yes. Agreement. They'll get
[8:51] a heads up letter that. So, we'll hand
deliver that or there's only eight
[8:56] houses. Yeah. Yeah. just because their
roads going to be ripped up for a couple
[9:00] months. Yes. Reality. Uh so just so they
can understand why it's being ripped up,
[9:05] no impact to them just other than
obviously inconvenience.
[9:09] Uh Deputy Mayor B. Uh thank you through
you. Um yeah, on the same vein, do we
[9:14] have a a start date and kind of an
estimated end date on the on the
[9:18] construction? We do.
Was it in there? I think the start date
[9:23] was uh June. June. Oh yeah, June 2nd.
That's why I was asking. Yeah, I knew it
[9:28] was June the second and then completion
by August 1st. Okay. So, kind of just
[9:34] July dropped 3 weeks beyond that
probably. No, but with the June 2nd, I I
[9:39] just didn't know like because we're
already delayed. Does that change their
[9:43] timeline? Because did they go to another
job? You know, that was my fear, you
[9:47] know, because we didn't hit that June
second. Are they off to somewhere else?
[9:51] Is our start date going to be in June or
later? Yeah. I haven't been in contact
[9:55] directly with them, Jeff. They're eager
to get out on this job. Okay, good,
[9:59] good, good. Because it's just once you
get into fall and then you get crappy
[10:03] weather and so that was good. When I
when I saw we surpassed June 2nd, I
[10:07] thought, oh, yeah, this is very
timesensitive and we could have rain
[10:12] that it off too. Yeah. Okay. Any further
questions? Yeah. through your mayor.
[10:16] Just to add to that, Justin Kogan was in
three weeks ago and I asked him Shannon
[10:22] Herman about all three projects um from
a budget standpoint what it looked like
[10:27] if it's going to be in here and he
assured us that the intention is all
[10:32] three will be done this 2025.
Very good. And sorry like Wellington
[10:39] County Road 40. Yeah. All done. Wow.
Vicious. We will see. Um, okay. The
[10:47] other thing I wanted to add is that the
50% fronting of our costs,
[10:54] we still have to pay it just through not
taking in the development charges.
[10:59] That's number one. Also, we have it in
the wastewater budget and the
[11:03] transportation budget this year to cover
our costs, but we also have the revenue
[11:07] in the wastewater budget for the 22 uh
sanitary hookups. So that is about, you
[11:14] know, over 250,000 that we're not going
to take in. So it's not like we're going
[11:18] to have 250,000 where we can pick
another project and go out and spend
[11:23] that money. Um I would my recommendation
is
[11:28] keep the spending to a minimum minimal
uh for the time being. Once we've once
[11:36] they've got the permits and they move
forward with those additional homes over
[11:39] 22, then that's when we should start to
okay take in some development charges
[11:44] and and hopefully start to build some
reserves and and we can utilize some of
[11:48] those funds. But they're giving us 50%
upfront
[11:52] ultimately we're paying it and we're
actually paying
[11:55] almost 500,000 this year just back they
take their 22 which they are. So yeah,
[12:01] it's not like it's half a million that
we can So once we spend somewhere else,
[12:06] once we get past that 22 homes, then
there should be them are golden. Yeah.
[12:13] Yeah. Unless there's uh Okay. Unless
there's more Okay. construction. But do
[12:20] you aware of any
after this? No. close back to the but I
[12:25] would I would think that it would take
more like the six and the nine is the
[12:29] the numbers that we did for uh this
Wellington Street. So when I bring uh
[12:35] County Road 40, I'll I'll have new
numbers for those ones and then new
[12:39] numbers for uh Alpine Street. So it may
end up being like 30 or so or so. Uh
[12:48] we did figure it out a long time ago
just to see where our break even point
[12:52] was on it. And uh I just don't remember
those numbers off the top of my head
[12:57] right now. And so if I may for you mayor
um so all the traffic control is the
[13:03] responsibility of the contractor. Yes.
So we don't have to worry about any
[13:08] anything like that? No. Okay.
Uh, councelor Walsh. Mayor, um, again,
[13:16] we don't have the costing of the two
projects, but do we feel comfortable
[13:19] what we have in the budget? Jordan, did
they give you an indication when that
[13:22] they said they were going to do all
three this year? Are we comfortable
[13:25] what's in the the the transport or not
the transportation budget, yeah,
[13:29] transportation and the wastewater budget
that we should be close? We we our
[13:35] budget numbers are a little bit off.
Okay. like given the fact that they're
[13:38] fronting that 50% and they're only
taking the 22 permits this year, we
[13:44] should be fine. There are some
engineering costs and stuff that have
[13:47] popped up. Um, but for this year, for
this project, yeah, we should we should
[13:52] be fine. Really, it's a great help and
bat for us and 5% originally, which
[13:58] would have handcuffed us a little bit
and really driven the budget numbers
[14:02] even more. So, we're able to get to 50,
which alleviates some pressure. Yeah. Um
[14:07] but again, we got to pay it ultimately,
right? So, yeah, it just comes a little
[14:13] bit further down the line. So, question
for you, Adam. Um I know it's is it 94
[14:20] 96 homes? 94 that maxes it at. Question
for you. If you have a pumping station
[14:27] up there and it's holding back,
can those numbers go up or not? Do you
[14:32] don't know off hand or off hand? That's
at the end of the day that all that
[14:37] water got to go through right. So by an
hour or two or if they just at night and
[14:44] the flow are lower it might help but
when the plants it's still got to be at
[14:48] capacity there's no more room for Okay.
I just wanted to verify that. Yeah.
[14:54] Uh any further questions councils? No.
Uh thank you Ed. Thank you. I'll read
[15:01] the recommended motion that the council
of the township of Basadel Norwood
[15:05] accepts this report for information and
