[16:42] been to our property that was the house

[16:45] uh mid

[16:46] 1900s um we've done some upgrades since

[16:48] next

[16:51] please I'm the S seventh generation of

[16:53] Mills that have farmed raised a family

[16:55] and created a livelihood and uh

[16:57] community in this town uh and my

[16:59] children will be the eighth that's uh

[17:02] that's us there on the

[17:04] screen next

[17:07] please the Mills the brandons the

[17:09] brandons who originally were on the 4023

[17:12] the Mills Farm was just across the road

[17:15] of the Mills the brandons and many other

[17:16] families settled on the third line

[17:18] having immigrated from F Mana County

[17:20] Northern Ireland in the mid 1800s and as

[17:22] from this history and to celebrate this

[17:24] Heritage that we chose the name for Mana

[17:27] Farms I mentioned this history to

[17:29] indicate that my Heritage and connection

[17:31] to this town and Community is long and

[17:33] deep my family has been here for a long

[17:35] time and I anticipate that to be our

[17:38] future

[17:41] next my uh my parents my L my late

[17:44] father Ron and my mother Karen who is

[17:47] here with today believe that we are to

[17:49] be stewards and caretakers of what we

[17:50] have inherited the land the work of our

[17:52] forbears the opportunities and I seek to

[17:55] build upon this he farmed

[17:57] organically believing that was the right

[17:59] way to take care of the land my late

[18:01] brother Alec had a similar vision and

[18:03] his son and my nephew Ian continue in

[18:06] that to farm on the property next

[18:11] please the barn in my my uh in Ron's

[18:14] latter years he would look at the barn

[18:16] on the property as in the picture there

[18:17] and say to me we need to do something

[18:19] about the barn or it'll fall down one

[18:20] day he was indeed correct of course uh

[18:24] but being a bank Barn it had little uh

[18:27] modern use in modern farming um it was

[18:30] really just serving as storage at that

[18:32] point there was no economic case to be

[18:33] made to invest in or repair the barn

[18:36] when the Ontario fit solar program was

[18:38] announced we saw an opportunity to

[18:39] install solar on the roof thanks to a

[18:41] previous council's decision to support

[18:43] rooftop solar installation our barn

[18:45] gained a new economic lease on life we

[18:47] repaired the barn and added to it to be

[18:49] part of our 60 kilowatt green solar

[18:51] energy that's generated from our

[18:54] farm next please

[18:59] um it's important to note that in this

[19:01] economic environment on Farm Diversified

[19:03] uses as in our application is a critical

[19:06] way in which our farm and possibly many

[19:08] others can remain economically viable

[19:10] without having to sell to property

[19:12] investors or others and from my

[19:14] perspective this is an important aspect

[19:16] to the makeup of Bradford rurales uh

[19:19] rural

[19:21] culture next

[19:25] please uh the barn that was repaired and

[19:27] added to and had the solar added to in

[19:29] 2014 is the same Barn that now is the

[19:32] center of more opportunity and with this

[19:35] property reasoned will allow us to fully

[19:36] utilize a property at the core of our

[19:38] vision statement where we exist to give

[19:41] people the opportunity to connect and

[19:43] celebrate with those important to them

[19:44] the environment that sustains them and

[19:46] the spirit that created

[19:48] them next

[19:52] please in an increasingly Urban world

[20:01] of 2020 a woman and her daughter uh

[20:04] stayed at one of our short-term rental

[20:05] spaces after pulling her vehicle out of

[20:11] cry she told me that she was living in a

[25:04] ask questions so I uh open up the

[25:06] council mayor

[25:08] Sandu thank you your

[25:10] worship I want to begin by

[25:13] thanking Miss Lan and and the

[25:16] applicants consultant for the

[25:18] presentation and Mr Mills your

[25:20] presentation as the mayor said it's it's

[25:23] really good to see that the farming is

[25:25] passed on generation to generation ation

[25:29] when especially times like this people

[25:31] are getting out of farming and and for

[25:34] obvious reasons and and you

[25:36] need other options to carry on where you

[25:40] can carry on the agriculture side of it

[25:42] but

[25:43] also earn a living through something

[25:46] else and and I'm supportive of that I do

[25:49] have um two questions for clarification

[25:52] in the presentation it was mentioned

[25:54] occasional Farmers Market how does one

[25:57] decide

[25:59] when you're going to have a farmers

[26:01] market or or what drives that

[26:03] occasionally is it going to be every

[26:05] weekend or is it going to be once a

[26:07] month what drives that second one I have

[26:10] is about the short-term accommodations

[26:13] um short term is what a night um so you

[26:19] you're encouraging people not to drink

[26:21] and drive and they can stay over or

[26:23] short term is people renting week at a

[26:26] time and it it becomes like a hotel type

[26:29] of thing um other than that I'm I'm in

[26:33] favor of uh what you're looking to do

[26:36] but I do have these two

[26:39] concerns so I can invite the applicant

[26:41] back up uh if you want or you can

[26:43] address all the questions at once it's

[26:45] you might as well sit there if you're

[26:46] gonna you can address these two

[26:48] questions right now if you'd like to

[26:52] Sir thanks for the questions currently

[26:56] the uh the markets are a annual thing

[26:59] spring and a fall market

[27:04] um straight up I haven't considered more

[27:07] than that um

[27:10] uh

[27:13] the yeah um at this point I think we're

[27:17] probably going to limit it to a it's not

[27:20] going to be a a constant thing um at

[27:23] this point we'll probably limit it to I

[27:25] would say once a month at the most but

[27:27] current ly it is a biannual thing spring

[27:29] and

[27:32] fall oh yes the short-term rentals um

[27:35] your question around that is what's the

[27:36] definition of short-term uh so uh for us

[27:41] it uh it ties in with the wedding event

[27:43] space yes absolutely people um often

[27:46] times the couple getting ready that kind

[27:47] of thing and then stay in the night um

[27:49] we also make it available uh through

[27:51] other shortterm uh rental platforms um

[27:55] that uh and that is as people book it

[28:00] does that answer the

[28:03] question ex thank you I will ask Council

[28:06] F next to comment questions thank you

[28:10] thank you very much for the presentation

[28:12] thank you for coming today um I've been

[28:14] to your place I've got to see the

[28:15] farmers market I enjoyed it uh went to

[28:18] an event there um and enjoyed that as

[28:20] well uh from what I see from what you've

[28:23] presented I like everything on here the

[28:26] uh we have approved event centers on

[28:29] other agricultural pieces so I don't see

[28:31] an issue with that especially the way

[28:33] that I've seen it being run um and then

[28:36] the extra pieces that you were asking

[28:37] for the orchard processing that all ties

[28:40] into agricultural so I have no issues

[28:42] with that I think it's great I think

[28:44] it's a great idea the way that you're

[28:45] utilizing your farm and it's bringing

[28:46] people there I do have issues with the

[28:49] short-term accommodation I'm not sold on

[28:52] that we have I don't think we have

[28:55] anything that's uh any other

[28:57] agricultural land that has requested

[28:59] that I know with accessory dwelling

[29:02] units there are trying to use that in

[29:04] urban areas right now and the province

[29:06] is working on actually extending that to

[29:08] rural areas and it may come to a point

[29:10] where you can put a couple of units on

[29:13] your property but do they do we really

[29:16] need to give permission for ex for uh

[29:19] short-term accommodations because this

[29:20] sounds like an Airbnb to me if somebody

[29:22] comes and they want to book it for a

[29:23] weekend or whatever the case may be

[29:25] that's what it sounds like from your

[29:26] presentation so it sounds like an airbm

[29:28] to me which we've we've had issues with

[29:30] but as stated in Zoning for an

[29:33] Agricultural piece I do have an issue

[29:36] with that I can't support that part of

[29:38] it everything else I absolutely love but

[29:40] I feel that

[29:42] supporting uh a short-term rental in the

[29:46] zoning aspect of your property opens the

[29:49] floodgates to any other agricultural

[29:51] land who may want to do the exact same

[29:53] thing so again with the Airbnb part I'm

[29:56] not sure how that would work or even if

[29:58] you have to ask for that um but those

[30:01] are just my comments on

[30:04] it okay thank you for your comments I'll

[30:07] turn it over to councelor verik and I've

[30:09] got councelor Harper and Jano

[30:16] next yeah I I don't really have any

[30:18] questions just to comment that I totally

[30:20] support this

[30:21] application uh I live one line north of

[30:25] the third line uh I've known the family

[30:28] for a long time and uh I've had a chance

[30:31] to spend some time there and I totally

[30:33] support this um even the short-term

[30:36] accommodation because I think it Blends

[30:38] well with the wedding aspect of it and

[30:42] uh it adds more just more economics to

[30:47] it okay thank you for those comments

[30:49] I've got councelor Harper next and then

[30:50] councelor jordano and then councelor

[30:56] dke well thank you for the presentation

[30:59] um had a bit of a chuckle there and you

[31:01] said what shortterm is is as much as

[31:03] they book it I like that um you know

[31:07] what if we had a lot of hotels and

[31:08] tourism popping in here I'd be totally

[31:10] against but we don't so um you know

[31:14] you're obviously going to be in charge

[31:15] of your own land and you know taking

[31:18] care of uh you know care and control of

[31:20] people that do come to there with strict

[31:21] rules so you know what it's uh you

[31:24] buyers remorse buyers would beware

[31:26] really so you know it's to your own

[31:28] property the only question I do have is

[31:30] is that would you have to implement any

[31:32] type of fire code um you know

[31:34] Renovations and stuff to meet certain

[31:36] requirements right now is that something

[31:39] that uh is already in place or do you

[31:41] know of that needs to be um amended no I

[31:45] understand so we are currently working

[31:47] with fire department um and uh working

[31:51] with them as part of the building

[31:54] process um to address any concerns that

[31:56] they have and obviously nothing would

[31:59] move forward until all that was be would

[32:01] be met I

[32:03] guess yes um in communication with fire

[32:07] they are satisfied that we are good cool

[32:10] perfect that's uh it for me thanks so

[32:12] much for bringing us

[32:14] forward thank you for those questions uh

[32:16] councilor

[32:20] jordano all right thanks for the

[32:21] presentation um couple questions or

[32:24] maybe some clarity on the short-term

[32:27] rental

[32:28] um structures I think there was a

[32:30] mention earlier in the first

[32:31] presentation that it could be trailers

[32:33] as well as some additional structures

[32:36] can you maybe just clarify what type of

[32:37] buildings or are they you know multiple

[32:40] unit dwellings or they individual

[32:41] trailers or tiny homes scattered

[32:43] throughout the property just a little

[32:44] more clarification on that please sure

[32:46] understand uh so

[32:49] um so initial short-term rentals are

[32:52] part of structures that are already on

[32:54] the property uh any further um um

[32:58] short-term rentals would be in the form

[33:00] of a tiny house that kind of that type

[33:03] of structure um on wheels something to

[33:07] that effect uh located and I know the

[33:10] site plan's not up there

[33:12] but have you been to my if you've been

[33:14] to my property um long Lane way up the

[33:17] long laneway there's a bit of a forested

[33:19] area uh by the fields these would be

[33:22] located by the forested area I know

[33:25] there was a uh a point made about uh

[33:27] farming property and so forth we're not

[33:29] taking uh farming agricultural land out

[33:33] of use um to accommodate these they are

[33:37] back to my point originally people like

[33:38] getting into the middle of nowhere like

[33:40] connecting with nature and that's kind

[33:41] of what we're we're we're bringing these

[33:43] connecting

[33:45] with okay no it's great great answer so

[33:48] here here's my concern with the

[33:50] additional structures or or I guess the

[33:52] short-term rentals is that you've got

[33:54] fantastic

[33:55] contentions if there's other property

[33:57] owners that don't have those same

[33:59] intentions and they use this as a case

[34:00] study to turn around and just start

[34:02] slapping trailers everywhere and housing

[34:03] people or putting like I I'm okay for

[34:05] adus in farming you know uh in in

[34:08] agricultural areas I think that's a

[34:09] great idea and a great alternative my

[34:10] concern is that does this set a

[34:12] precedent if if we open up this in this

[34:14] area for for allowing anybody or anybody

[34:16] else to make the same applications

[34:17] without this the great intentions that

[34:19] you have so that that'd be my only

[34:21] reservation I you know like to talk a

[34:22] little bit more about it and then my

[34:24] other question or comment and this one's

[34:26] uh when we spoke I guess I think it was

[34:28] last year the last time we we had a

[34:29] conversation uh which really touched me

[34:31] was your your generational living on the

[34:34] property and having a an additional home

[34:37] for let's say your children to live

[34:38] within the property is that still on the

[34:40] table or is that a future consideration

[34:42] as well because you know at the end of

[34:44] the day having the multiple Generations

[34:47] living on the one property something I

[34:48] would definitely like to support I'm

[34:50] just curious about how that all fits

[34:51] into this

[34:54] sure

[34:56] um yes that that could be my children on

[34:59] the property in in some way shape or

[35:01] another um we're still figuring that out

[35:03] or they're still figuring that out uh

[35:06] we're all still figuring that out

[35:10] um I'm sorry I know that doesn't fully

[35:12] answer your

[35:14] question could you ask it again what

[35:16] does

[35:18] it so if in the future you were to come

[35:21] forward with an application to either

[35:23] subdivide the lot or add an additional

[35:25] dwelling unit for

[35:28] you know right a member a member of the

[35:30] family or uh you know how does that

[35:33] affect what we're looking at here to

[35:34] because I know that that was a big that

[35:36] was a big consideration in the past when

[35:37] we spoke

[35:39] sure so the short-term dwelling units or

[35:42] the that we have proposed that is again

[35:45] for a short term um and we don't have

[35:49] other plans to do another living

[35:50] structure on the building on the

[35:54] property all right thank you for those

[35:56] questions I have uh councelor d

[36:00] I just want to say thank you for the

[36:02] presentation adding that personal in the

[36:05] history of your family on the land are

[36:07] really uh it's really nice to see

[36:09] because you know you have the drive you

[36:11] have the investment you're bringing

[36:13] investment to our community and as you

[36:15] showed our hotels and our local

[36:17] restaurants and the and the restaurants

[36:20] in the area you know we have lot lots to

[36:22] be thankful here in our in our community

[36:24] we have these Farms are gorgeous farms

[36:26] and and a lot of people come up from the

[36:28] city and they're you they're blessed to

[36:29] have that opportunity to have a wedding

[36:31] there and I know the van Luke's on the

[36:33] 13th line have quite a few they're

[36:35] pretty well booked all summer and I'm

[36:36] glad there's other venues that can bring

[36:39] people to our community and it promotes

[36:41] our community but provides a great venue

[36:43] for for weddings and and being in as

[36:46] somehow related to that industry the

[36:48] wedding industry it's it's we're lucky

[36:51] that we can offer something in our

[36:53] community so I just want to see a great

[36:55] presentation from your consultants and

[36:57] the problems when they when when we see

[36:59] these documents is very dry but to see

[37:01] the personal and and the aspect of it

[37:04] really adds to the presentation I want

[37:06] to thank you both thank you thank you

[37:08] for those comments I've got councelor

[37:10] Scott

[37:11] next I'll be really quick I just wanted

[37:13] to say I think first and foremost it's a

[37:15] beautiful property and you shared a

[37:17] wonderful family heritage story and your

[37:20] plans make a lot of sense to me they're

[37:22] contained to what you think is

[37:24] manageable and I think we can point to a

[37:26] lot of uh similar examples whether in St

[37:29] Jacobs or Prince Edward County even a

[37:31] few in innisville where there's a little

[37:32] bit of a short-term rental to

[37:34] accommodate the wedding and a bit of

[37:35] agriturism and I love diversifying more

[37:38] streams of income for our farm so I I

[37:41] think this sounds like a home run to me

[37:42] and thank you for the presentation to

[37:44] present it tonight thank you all right

[37:47] thank you for those comments any further

[37:50] all seeing none at this time Mr Mills I

[38:04] celebrate enjoy not only weddings

[38:06] farmers markets and short-term rentals

[38:09] support that also I I've seen your

[38:11] property I've seen the the housing style

[42:31] priority the Consolidated linear

[42:33] infrastructure Environmental Compliance

[42:36] approval document as issued by the

[42:38] ministry of environment is what the town

[42:40] will use to outline its requirements for

[42:42] storm water systems including operations

[42:44] and maintenance and long-term

[42:45] sustainability of those assets cost

[42:48] Effectiveness to identify required works

[42:51] early on rather than be reactive to

[42:53] major problems a proactive plan

[42:56] including annual programs and funding is

[42:59] more effective than a complaint-based

[43:01] system flood mitigation as well to

[43:05] prepare for more frequent intense storm

[43:07] events the recent event of this last

[43:09] summer July 16th where the city of

[43:12] Toronto experienced a nearly 100

[43:14] millimeter storm event which is

[43:15] equivalent to a one in 100-year storm is

[43:18] something that we're seeing more

[43:19] frequently and that we need to be

[43:21] prepared for as well public health and

[43:24] safety protection from pollutants and

[43:26] effects of unmaintained pipes ponds

[43:29] catch basins

[43:30] Etc and resilience to impacts of climate

[43:34] change and protection of the

[43:37] environment next slide

[43:43] please what does the town's Community

[43:45] consist

[43:47] of in looking at the community profile

[43:50] there are essentially four categories of

[43:53] uh characteristics in the community the

[43:55] Halland Mars Community which is large

[43:57] controlled and managed by the drainage

[43:59] act to ensure that the storm water

[44:01] systems and uh water levels are

[44:03] controlled and maintained the urban

[44:06] communities which are are conventional

[44:09] communities with cross-sections uh with

[44:12] sidewalks with culverts or sorry with

[44:14] sidewalks and um Urban sections that

[44:18] rely on storm water collection and pipes

[44:21] to distribute them and bring them to

[44:22] collection systems and storm water ponds

[44:24] for discharge these urban communities

[44:26] are more tense and land use is more uh

[44:29] more active and there's more risk of

[44:32] flooding and then the rural communities

[44:34] are areas where we have ditches and culs

[44:37] and larger spaces but also need for

[44:40] moving the water that's collected both

[44:42] from the private lands as well as along

[44:44] the roads and rights away and then the

[44:46] Bradford Highland farming lands are the

[44:48] areas that are outside of the March but

[44:49] are also farmed in these areas that may

[44:51] not need direct uh water management or

[44:54] drainage act requirements but will still

[44:56] need to be included in a storm water

[44:58] management

[45:00] system our assets are based on five

[45:03] classes that's based on your asset

[45:05] management Plan and there's a total of

[45:07] about $1.1 billion in assets of which

[45:10] 177% or1 184 million doar represent the

[45:14] replacement cost for your storm water

[45:16] systems this will require funding in the

[45:18] long term both for maintenance and

[45:20] replacement and ultimate

[45:25] expansion next slide please

[45:28] so next steps for the study as we

[45:30] initiate is to continue with data

[45:32] collection and

[45:34] Analysis complete our community outreach

[45:36] program which includes web promotion and

[45:38] online surveys uh our our first

[45:41] Community engagement Public Information

[45:43] Center number one which is planned for

[45:45] the latter part of

[45:46] September and a second engagement

[45:49] session would be in the latter part of

[45:50] November

[45:52] 2024 as well as the evaluation and

[45:54] Community feedback considerations and

[45:56] discussions based on the information we

[45:58] gathered from those sessions as well as

[46:00] interviews with staff and

[46:02] Council once we consider all the final

[46:04] feedback and look at the evaluation of

[46:06] the various alternatives for funding and

[46:08] for cost distribution as well as

[46:10] long-term sustainability and Reserve

[46:13] recommending Reserve um programs we

[46:16] would then bring a final report back to

[46:18] this Council for presentation in January

[46:20] 2025 for final approval and future

[46:24] recommendations so with that your wor

[46:27] ship all right thank you very much

[46:29] appreciate that appreciate you keeping

[46:31] it on schedule questions councelor uh

[46:35] Scott just one question how will this

[46:39] relate and protect Marsh farmers who

[46:42] already pay into the drainage system we

[46:45] have I will volunteer that I I think the

[46:48] answer should be they should be entirely

[46:50] separate from

[46:52] this thank you um for the question

[46:55] through uh your ship that is why we've

[46:58] identified four classes or four four

[47:01] groups of users or of communities within

[47:04] within uh the town and definitely the

[47:06] farming community Through the municipal

[47:09] act or the drainage act should be

[47:11] considered very specifically with

[47:13] regards to what they're already

[47:14] contributing to how they're managing the

[47:16] system and that their management is

[47:18] within their uh Watershed and that is

[47:20] probably something that definitely would

[47:22] not be related to an additional charge

[47:28] thank you uh I got councelor verite next

[47:30] and then I've got councelor

[47:36] dyky um yeah I recently I saw a

[47:39] presentation at an AGN knowledge uh

[47:42] Forum uh put on by the N Wasaga Futures

[47:47] and there were a few municipalities that

[47:50] are ahead of us on this and there was

[47:52] some

[47:53] negative implications for uh

[47:57] agricultural lands in more urban areas

[48:00] like Brampton or something like that so

[48:02] they were going on a square

[48:03] footage where the agricultural land is

[48:08] basically permeable it's it's not uh

[48:13] causing uh infrastructure that needs to

[48:15] be created and the ditches in rural

[48:18] areas are basically to keep the roads

[48:21] drained and to divert to water away from

[48:24] the road um so I just want to make sure

[48:27] that we don't put any negative

[48:29] implications on our Highland

[48:33] Farms thank you for that I've got

[48:36] councelor Dy next well in your

[48:38] presentation I'd like the the key word

[48:41] that you mentioned about colberts you

[48:43] know we have a lot of certs that are 40

[48:45] 50 years old and some of these sub

[48:47] divisions and and funding funding them

[48:49] for the for the residents is it's quite

[48:51] an expensive uh Venture and impact to

[48:54] the residents that you know that have

[48:56] paid taxes so so long on these uh these

[49:00] homes in a rural area and I just hope

[49:02] that through your study that we could um

[49:05] get some grants in the future as well

[49:06] some funding from the federal or

[49:08] provincial or federal whatever is

[49:10] available and then that we have

[49:11] everything in place as as the weather

[49:14] changes and and the frequent storms and

[49:16] and the volume of storms that we've seen

[49:18] in the last little while you know we

[49:19] have to keep you know keep this flowing

[49:22] as best we can so I'm glad we're being

[49:23] proactive and reactive

[49:27] just to reiterate this this presentation

[49:28] is all about what we're going to be

[49:29] doing and going out to the public and

[49:31] getting all that feedback from everyone

[49:32] so we look forward to seeing a lot of

[49:33] that data like councel said there's a

[49:35] few communities ahead of us so we'll be

[49:36] able to understand some of the some of

[49:38] the niches that they ran into so uh I've

[49:40] got councelor Deany

[49:53] next thank you mayor

[49:56] um thank you again for the presentation

[49:58] my question is how are we going to

[50:00] ensure fairness for those who have say

[50:03] bigger properties and of course with the

[50:05] water runoff on the pavement how are we

[50:08] going to ensure that those people pay

[50:10] more um compared to a person with a

[50:12] smaller property also I know that we're

[50:14] still at the beginning phase of course

[50:16] of this so with set fees how are we

[50:18] going to determine the set fees um also

[50:21] based on property size do you have any

[50:23] idea so

[50:25] far certainly through uh Mr uh My

[50:29] Worship the modeling that we use there's

[50:32] a number of various Financial models as

[50:34] well as uh engineering models to look at

[50:36] impermeable surfaces to look at area to

[50:39] look at distribution of costs that

[50:41] create an equitable sense of um of of

[50:44] ownership and of contribution towards

[50:46] the system the ultimate goal of the

[50:48] program as we bring this this

[50:50] information through to the public

[50:51] information sessions and for the

[50:53] community is to get the feedback on what

[50:55] these models could look like how the

[50:57] cost could be distributed what the

[50:59] impact would be per household per

[51:01] resident per area and then receive that

[51:03] feedback and work with the community to

[51:05] try and find a a a solution that's

[51:08] Equitable that has a sense of

[51:10] distribution but also meets the funding

[51:12] needs of the long-term cost for the for

[51:14] the

[51:15] town one more question thank you so for

[51:18] those um persons that are practicing

[51:20] green cuz you know of course we try to

[51:21] encourage that will there be some

[51:23] initiative some discounts for those um

[51:26] um people that are practicing green and

[51:29] also to encourage others also to go

[51:31] green will there be any discount in mind

[51:35] you know what I mean for that as

[51:38] well uh through you Mr Mayor there are

[51:40] programs in other municipalities where

[51:42] there's either initiatives or

[51:43] opportunities for some sort of credit

[51:45] system so definitely those opportunities

[51:47] will be explored and the various options

[51:49] presented as part of our work and

[51:52] depending again on what the community is

[51:53] looking for we'll tailor solutions that

[51:55] will meet where the what the demands

[52:01] are okay so any further questions or

[52:04] comments from

[52:06] Council all right seeing none I thank

[52:08] you very much there's no recommendation

[52:10] here that I have to follow up on so

[52:13] thank you for the

[52:15] presentation and we thank you thank you

[52:17] Council for the questions look forward

[52:19] to the uh the program moving

[52:23] forward okay we are on to open form

[52:27] Madam clerk anybody signed up open Forum

[52:31] participants for open Forum this evening

[52:35] adoption of the minutes of the committee

[52:52] Harper question concerns with that

[52:55] seeing none all in favor

[52:57] carried we're on to 9.2 adoption of

[53:00] special Council minutes recommendation

[53:02] that the meeting of the special meeting

[53:04] of council dated June 25th 2024 be

[53:06] adopted as printed move second for this

[53:09] please by councelor deaney second by

[53:11] Deputy Mayor Sanu question concerns with

[53:14] this seeing none all in

[53:17] favor carried thank

[53:20] you uh correspondence we are into

[53:22] correspondence 10.1 we have the

[53:24] association of municipalities of Ontario

[53:25] the Amo and the Ontario medical

[53:27] association joint to health resolution

[53:30] campaign so I'm going to ask councelor

[53:33] Scott speak to it you'll move it okay

[53:36] sorry move by councelor Scott then

[53:39] seconded by councelor verik questions on

[53:42] this right I I think the resolution says

[53:46] it but it's worth highlighting

[53:48] that Ontario's Healthcare is in crisis

[53:51] 2.3 million ontarians don't have a

[53:54] family doctor we're seeing emergency

[53:56] room closures particularly in rural

[53:58] communities and I think most alarmingly

[54:01] nearly half of our existing family docks

[54:03] are looking to retire in the near future

[54:06] so I think adding our voice to amos's

[54:08] resolution I know a few of us are going

[54:10] to amos's conference at the end of the

[54:13] month is important because we've been

[54:15] working to attract more Family Health

[54:18] teams working with South Lake and uh the

[54:20] so Simco Northern York Region Family

[54:23] Health uh team led by Gail sedon uh and

[54:26] we'd love to see the hospital come to

[54:27] Bradford quite frankly but we definitely

[54:29] need more local Health Care in our

[54:31] community and we might be a community

[54:34] despite having healthcare needs that's

[54:37] actually comparatively doing well Rural

[54:40] and Northern Communities I think are

[54:41] particularly struggling and I I'm almost

[54:44] afraid that we've sort of as a society

[54:48] given up that we should have excellent

[54:50] Healthcare we have a lot of hallway

[54:52] medicine we have a lot of uh nurses

[54:54] Nurse Practitioners and doctors who are

[54:56] quite stressed and patients who are

[54:58] frustrated but almost think this has

[55:00] been New Normal so uh after probably 30

[55:03] years wor the promises that we'd fix

[55:05] Canadian

[55:07] Healthcare it's not gotten any better in

[55:09] fact it's got worse so the more we can

[55:11] do at a local level to promote the fact

[55:13] that uh this is an urgent need and the

[55:16] public deserves High qu Quality

[55:18] Healthcare close to home uh the better

[55:20] it will be because I I think all levels

[55:22] of government recognize the need but we

[55:25] need to start seeing the results and

[55:26] putting urgency behind

[55:30] it great point and and uh I think did

[55:33] you you must have watched CBC last night

[55:35] national news because it was on there

[55:37] about Healthcare and how critical it is

[55:39] in the northern regions and how uh they

[55:41] talked about uh Blind River Thessalon s

[55:44] St Marie that that region there where it

[55:46] was uh it was they were closing

[55:49] emergency rooms and there was last

[55:50] minute uh arrivals of doctors at the

[55:52] last second which was costing all

[55:53] ontarians tons of dollars to get them

[55:55] there at last minute so just to keep the

[55:58] emergency rooms open so not hard to

[56:00] support this 100% so like councelor

[56:02] Scott said we're we're going to uh Amo

[56:05] will be advocating for this uh through

[56:08] the uh through the Ontario medical

[56:10] association and we've done lots of work

[56:12] with our local Physicians and and

[56:13] everything in our community so we want

[56:15] to continue that advocacy on our part to

[56:17] make sure that we gain the support work

[56:19] as hard as we can to uh gain doctors and

[56:21] family physicians for sure because there

[56:23] is a there is a pandemic out there I'm

[56:25] going to say it so I've got councelor uh

[56:28] uh um councelor deaney first and then

[56:30] I've got councelor Harper

[56:31] next thank you mayor um you know as a

[56:34] healthcare worker myself working in the

[56:36] field for over 16 years I see the um the

[56:40] challenges that you know what I mean we

[56:42] are facing in health care the long wait

[56:45] list you know for long-term care and

[56:48] also different critical um you know

[56:51] clients that need care and of course

[56:54] sometimes to get a family doctor the

[56:56] long weight list right unless you're

[56:59] maybe have your family doctor for years

[57:01] right then maybe you can had your

[57:03] children on it but sometime it's a long

[57:05] wait so definitely I do support this as

[57:08] well and um yeah looking forward to Amo

[57:11] conference

[57:13] coming so thank you uh councilor

[57:16] Harper thanks mayor you know I know

[57:19] you'll be pushing for this and it'll be

[57:21] pretty much a Hot Topic at the uh

[57:24] Amo um you know provincial government's

[57:28] definitely not made it uh you know quite

[57:31] quite aware that uh you know Federal

[57:34] government's capital gains taxes is

[57:36] putting stress on a lot of Corporations

[57:39] and doctors mostly actually create

[57:41] corporations and it's not making it easy

[57:43] for them to actually make a living

[57:46] through this and then they're actually

[57:47] just picking up their business and

[57:48] leaving the country or leaving the

[57:50] province so when we're already in short

[57:53] supply and you see a capital gains tax

[57:56] that's taken away from one of our most

[57:58] crucial aspects which is Health Care

[58:00] Physicians and

[58:01] doctors I think that should be stressed

[58:04] urgently at the Amo as well uh this

[58:07] doesn't this falls short in regards to

[58:10] correspondence because I think they're

[58:12] just being polite and even though

[58:13] they're asking for the doctors got to go

[58:16] to the they got to make a living too

[58:18] because they take on a lot of stress it

[58:20] it's not easy being a doctor I mean they

[58:22] make one false call getting suit so you

[58:25] know they got to have some reward for

[58:27] the risk that they're taking as well

[58:29] plus all the education that they've had

[58:30] to

[58:33] endure thank you for those comments okay

[58:36] further comments or questions here so I

[58:39] think uh we've got it uh I've got a

[58:41] recomendation here that the council

[58:42] received the association of

[58:43] municipalities of Ontario Amo and the

[58:45] Ontario medical association joint health

[58:46] resolution campaign for information but

[58:48] I'd like to say that we actually support

[58:51] the council support the resolution as

[58:53] written okay so we add that into to the

[58:56] uh so I'm going to actually say as

[58:59] amended a friendly Amendment so I can

[59:01] ask the two mover and seconders if they

[59:03] support that yeah thank

[59:06] you if uh if you can clarify the last

[59:10] sentence of

[59:11] the resolution that's attached is asking

[59:15] to insert the name of the municipality

[59:17] that's short of the doctors are we

[59:19] putting Brad for West bloombury or we

[59:21] putting something

[59:22] else no Brad for West bloombury yeah

[59:27] yeah we'll support Brad for what's going

[59:28] be first and then but we will talk about

[59:30] the rural area because the rule is

[59:32] costing everybody I mean there's no

[59:33] offensive it's a shortage and we're

[59:35] going to go there fight for Bradford

[59:36] West lury and Ontario in general we're

[59:38] going to fight for doctors and hopefully

[59:40] we get our our health care System

[59:42] improve I wanted to make sure since you

[59:44] guys were

[59:46] generous more generous here first though

[59:49] Council

[59:51] forini since we are supporting it and

[59:53] we're we're doing the resolution as is

[59:55] does it not need to to be sent out to

[59:56] everybody as well all of the

[59:58] municipalities of Amo so that way we

[1:00:00] show that we're on

[1:00:02] board I think Amo is going to send that

[1:00:05] out right I I will tell you what if we

[1:00:08] uh I I take that as a yes as a as

[1:00:10] another amendment we will draft it so we

[1:00:12] go out to that we support this so we can

[1:00:15] send it to the premier and our MPP and

[1:00:18] all 444 municipalities in Ontario I

[1:00:20] think that's I was I was thinking Amo

[1:00:22] was going to distribute this through but

[1:00:24] we should make sure of that ourselves so

[1:00:26] uh good suggestion so okay is everybody

[1:00:28] okay with that we will we will certainly

[1:00:30] send it to our MPP Premier uh um Sylvia

[1:00:35] Jones our minister of Health uh so we'll

[1:00:38] have a list of them but certainly we'll

[1:00:40] send out to the correct

[1:00:42] people okay got that all right all in

[1:00:47] favor carried thank you okay that's

[1:00:51] 10.1 we're on to staff reports and I'm

[1:00:56] at 11.1 procurement activities 2024

[1:00:58] second quarter I have a recommendation

[1:01:00] that the report LG

[1:01:03] 224-5222 second quarter be received for

[1:01:07] information moved by councel F second by

[1:01:10] councel jordano question concerns we

[1:01:13] have zero activity in here so it's it's

[1:01:15] good means that we've uh stayed right in

[1:01:17] line with all of our uh purchasing

[1:01:19] requirements so no extra cost anybody so

[1:01:21] all in favor carried thank you uh we are

[1:01:25] into 11.2 2024 enforcement activity

[1:01:27] report this is a recommendation that the

[1:01:30] report efn 20247 titled 2024 enforcement

[1:01:34] activity report January 1st to June 30th

[1:01:36] be received for information mve

[1:01:39] by councelor Harper second by councel

[1:01:41] Rik question concerns with this report

[1:01:44] we can see councel

[1:01:46] Harper my only uh question would just be

[1:01:49] to get clarification when the updated

[1:01:52] one for the

[1:01:57] pilot project for the as will be

[1:01:59] incorporated in this or it be in the

[1:02:01] next one or is that different

[1:02:21] come through your department Vanessa or

[1:02:22] yours Robert

[1:02:27] okay from Brent directly from Brent so

[1:02:29] that will be coming up uh shortly he's

[1:02:32] got it scheduled I think for first one

[1:02:34] of September okay I

[1:02:38] know further Council

[1:02:41] fie thank you just a comment I see

[1:02:45] uh some areas we've had increases in

[1:02:48] calls um which is unfortunate but I just

[1:02:52] want to say thank you to you Rob and to

[1:02:55] your staff uh it's not an easy job to do

[1:02:57] and uh I know I know some of the issues

[1:03:01] that you deal uh deal with out there and

[1:03:03] I know that the members around this

[1:03:05] table usually put you in some of those

[1:03:06] issues too so I want to say thank you

[1:03:08] for everything that you guys

[1:03:11] do yes thank you very much because it's

[1:03:13] been very busy for that department and

[1:03:15] we uh certainly want to thank the folks

[1:03:17] of that department for all the work they

[1:03:18] do because everything is increased

[1:03:20] dramatically in there so we thank them

[1:03:21] all for for taking on these concerns for

[1:03:24] us Council jordano

[1:03:28] so my my biggest concern when I saw this

[1:03:30] and it's almost a throwaway line but if

[1:03:32] you look there's a 25% increase in

[1:03:35] Property Standards clean yards

[1:03:37] investigations and this is something

[1:03:39] that really bothers myself and a lot of

[1:03:42] other residents in in the town as well

[1:03:44] it it's uh it's it's definitely very

[1:03:46] challenging for the staff to deal with

[1:03:47] but it's it's something that 25%

[1:03:49] increase that's significant and that's

[1:03:51] something that you know whether it's

[1:03:53] through education I've been talking with

[1:03:55] some of the the staff to find out what I

[1:03:56] can do in into my word to try to help

[1:03:59] neighbors you know work with each other

[1:04:00] to try to deal with this because it's

[1:04:02] becoming an isore it's affecting

[1:04:04] people's quality of life and living next

[1:04:06] door to some of these uh these

[1:04:08] properties so that's something that I

[1:04:10] want to be make make it very mindful to

[1:04:11] everybody here on Council that 25%

[1:04:13] increase is is pretty

[1:04:15] significant duly noted thank you it is

[1:04:18] significant we wish that people would

[1:04:20] take care of their properties a lot

[1:04:21] better uh but there are a lot of people

[1:04:23] that do a great job there's just a few

[1:04:25] out there that don't so we'll hopefully

[1:04:26] uh impact that with some change uh

[1:04:30] further to uh your your ask for that ASC

[1:04:33] report councelor Harper uh the reason

[1:04:35] why he's bringing it later we have

[1:04:36] another camera for a full four months

[1:04:37] and he wanted to get a good look at for

[1:04:39] Council but because everybody's wanting

[1:04:41] to see the data that we uh we he asked

[1:04:44] if he could bring it earlier so so he's

[1:04:46] going to bring it

[1:04:47] September okay

[1:04:51] comments um just a question um maybe um

[1:04:55] what's your name it sir what's his name

[1:04:56] again Rob Rob I Rob

[1:05:00] so with the

[1:05:03] um 2011 property standard clean yard

[1:05:06] investigation 25% increase because I

[1:05:09] know that I've been sending lots of

[1:05:11] email especially about W one where

[1:05:13] Miller Park across from Z there and it's

[1:05:16] continuous nonstop and other areas in W

[1:05:18] one do we have any future plan of um

[1:05:22] implementing any penalty at all

[1:05:26] that could discourage others from

[1:05:29] dumping where they're not supposed to

[1:05:31] like how can we what can we do now

[1:05:33] because it's becoming even more and more

[1:05:35] and more is there a way that we can

[1:05:37] maybe do some fines I know some of the

[1:05:40] properties are owned by private um their

[1:05:43] private properties however Town staff

[1:05:45] still take the initiatives initiatives

[1:05:47] and do clean it right and that's

[1:05:50] basically taken away from other jobs

[1:05:53] that could have get done by staff we

[1:05:55] looking after another private property

[1:05:58] what can we do now to end to come with

[1:06:00] us more stricter enforcement right to

[1:06:04] kind of stop

[1:06:07] that through year your worship to

[1:06:10] councelor duany that's a great question

[1:06:12] so there's a number of different tools

[1:06:14] in the tool belt uh that communities can

[1:06:16] use to address situations whereby we end

[1:06:19] up with a focal point where people tend

[1:06:21] to dump there and treat it like it's

[1:06:24] their own personal um Dumping Ground so

[1:06:26] to speak so um in terms of private

[1:06:29] properties that we have like complexes

[1:06:31] commercial complexes these types of

[1:06:33] things when they find themselves to be

[1:06:35] constant targets of this we'll do a

[1:06:38] variety of different measures so we'll

[1:06:40] increase enforcement we'll speak with

[1:06:42] the property managers to try to do um

[1:06:45] some exploration of what they could do

[1:06:47] in terms of uh them monitoring it better

[1:06:50] maybe it's a case uh we've had

[1:06:52] situations where it's just simple

[1:06:53] littering we've had other and that may

[1:06:55] be Sol by simply just putting up garbage

[1:06:57] cans or something like that um in some

[1:07:00] other situations we've had large piles

[1:07:03] of debris constantly being piled we do

[1:07:06] have the ability to enforce our clean

[1:07:09] yards bylaw our littering bylaw these

[1:07:11] types of things the threshold uh to hold

[1:07:13] those accountable um have to be met in

[1:07:16] order to do that um but in addition to

[1:07:19] that when you reference staff time going

[1:07:21] into these things we also have a fees

[1:07:23] and charges bylaw whereby we can invoice

[1:07:26] uh for our time if if we're constantly

[1:07:29] running into these issues uh but we try

[1:07:31] to hold off on that to ensure that

[1:07:33] that's used in appropriate situations

[1:07:35] whereby perhaps there's some neglect

[1:07:37] happening if we have a a property

[1:07:39] management um or or sorry a property

[1:07:42] owner not taking it serious or not

[1:07:44] taking the necessary steps then we'll

[1:07:46] look at what tools in the tool belt we

[1:07:47] have but we do our best to kind of look

[1:07:50] at the situation specifically and come

[1:07:53] up with a strategy trying to work

[1:07:55] together with the community uh the

[1:07:57] message we would give to the community

[1:07:59] is that we all have a part to play it's

[1:08:02] 100% uh unsightly unacceptable that

[1:08:05] people feel emboldened to deposit

[1:08:07] garbage where they do not have

[1:08:09] permission to do so I think it's a

[1:08:11] matter of convenience if I'm being

[1:08:13] honest uh so education it it plays a

[1:08:16] large part it's something that we've

[1:08:18] talked about in a lot of things that we

[1:08:19] do with enforcement um so our department

[1:08:22] will continue to try to work with the

[1:08:25] community in order to affect change but

[1:08:27] we all have a part to play in order to

[1:08:29] achieve

[1:08:30] that and also I see here 51 noise and

[1:08:33] Nance related service calls and it was

[1:08:36] 35 34% decreased I don't know how do you

[1:08:41] come up with these data because almost

[1:08:44] not every weekend but majority of the

[1:08:46] weekends I do get emails with um

[1:08:49] residents complaining about noise and

[1:08:51] sound but I'm seeing here it's been a

[1:08:53] decrease even in my w one meeting this

[1:08:56] was one of the big topic as well right

[1:08:59] people riding their bikes and they're

[1:09:00] just doing their thing right how did we

[1:09:04] come up with this data stating that it's

[1:09:06] 34% decrease when almost every single

[1:09:09] day I'm hearing that noise is a problem

[1:09:12] in our

[1:09:14] community thank you through you your

[1:09:16] worship to councelor Dany so with

[1:09:18] respect to service requests being

[1:09:20] reported for noise um these numbers

[1:09:23] reflect what our byw division received

[1:09:27] um in the event that there are

[1:09:29] complaints being made after hours it's

[1:09:31] likely that those complaints are being

[1:09:33] being submitted directly to the ssco

[1:09:35] police uh as they are also empowered

[1:09:38] with the enforcement of that so in

[1:09:40] addition

[1:09:42] to overnight noise associated with uh

[1:09:45] Amplified music that the traditional

[1:09:47] noise complaint uh we do have commercial

[1:09:49] regulations construction regulations the

[1:09:52] noise bylaw speaks to a number of

[1:09:53] different types of noise the tradition

[1:09:55] do fall onto by law enforcement but if

[1:09:58] if what you're hearing from your

[1:09:59] constituents are the types that would be

[1:10:01] overnight type complaints those are

[1:10:04] typically resourced by the cmco police

[1:10:06] often times you know alcohol may be

[1:10:09] involved in these types of things and

[1:10:10] they're better uh resourced in order to

[1:10:12] address those types of concerns so what

[1:10:14] you see here is uh the service requests

[1:10:16] that were asked of by law enforcement

[1:10:18] division of Bradford thank

[1:10:22] you okay thank you thank you for those

[1:10:24] questions oh further the comments

[1:10:26] councelor dky I just want to thank you

[1:10:28] for the report uh you know I know and I

[1:10:31] can see just by this this uh list of uh

[1:10:34] increases um you know from where we

[1:10:36] started and where we are now as we grow

[1:10:38] there's no doubt this this this

[1:10:40] department is very busy when it comes to

[1:10:42] Property Standards uh you know we have a

[1:10:44] lot of

[1:10:45] tenants we have a lot of absentees

[1:10:47] landlords and uh that doesn't help the

[1:10:49] situation so so I know you got to send

[1:10:51] letters and you got to have this staff

[1:10:52] but it's it's important that you know

[1:10:54] that we continue to stay on on on these

[1:10:57] property matters and noise and and I

[1:10:59] just want to commend your your

[1:11:00] department doing the best you can to

[1:11:02] stand off as we grow through the sou

[1:11:05] through the

[1:11:07] community all right thank you further

[1:11:10] comments or

[1:11:11] questions all right seeing none all in

[1:11:14] favor

[1:11:17] carried okay we are on to 11.3 noise

[1:11:20] exemption application I have a

[1:11:21] recommendation that efn

[1:11:23] 20246 titled noise exemption application

[1:11:26] 2771 line1 be received for information

[1:11:28] and that the request for exemption under

[1:11:29] noise control bylaw 2008 083 as amended

[1:11:34] for amplification of sound music between

[1:11:38] 2024 for the private event be approved

[1:11:41] or denied so move by councelor Scott

[1:11:44] second by councel Harper can you put the

[1:11:47] approval or Denial on okay approved it

[1:11:50] is okay uh questions or concerns go

[1:11:53] ahead

[1:11:55] I will fulfill my tradition of saying I

[1:11:57] would love a delegation of authority

[1:11:59] bylaw given that tonight 30% of our

[1:12:01] staff reports are things that I think

[1:12:03] staff could approve through a process

[1:12:05] rather than us sitting as a Village

[1:12:06] Council of Elders and snoops approving

[1:12:08] people's

[1:12:13] parties further

[1:12:16] comments seeing none all in favor

[1:12:19] carried thank you moving on to se 11.4

[1:12:22] uh Street party closure and Noise by

[1:12:24] exemption recommendation the report

[1:12:26] tr224 d8 titled Street party road

[1:12:29] closure and Noise by exemption number

[1:12:31] two be received and that Council

[1:12:41] outlin in report t uh tr224 d8 subject

[1:12:44] to the applicant completing all Street

[1:12:48] satisfaction of town staff and that

[1:12:50] Council authoriz an exemption for the

[1:12:51] noise control bylaw 20833 083 as amended

[1:12:55] for the application of sound music and

[1:12:59] Bartram Crescent between 1 p.m. and 8:00

[1:13:02] p.m. on Saturday August 31st 2024 move

[1:13:05] by councelor jordano second by Deputy

[1:13:07] Mayor Sandu question concerns counc

[1:13:14] councelor so this gets me super excited

[1:13:17] because I'm not a I'm not shy to uh

[1:13:20] throw the street party now and then but

[1:13:23] uh this this this group on bardrum

[1:13:25] they're they're fantastic uh you know uh

[1:13:28] residents they've they've all moved into

[1:13:29] this area they've got young families the

[1:13:32] idea is that they've had Barbecues in

[1:13:34] the past but the road closure is very

[1:13:37] beneficial to the young children having

[1:13:39] a safe place where they can hang out and

[1:13:40] not have to worry about maybe a car

[1:13:42] coming around the corner really quickly

[1:13:43] or something like that so of course I'm

[1:13:45] going to support this I I love the fact

[1:13:47] that there's another area in my War

[1:13:49] that's also doing a street party I think

[1:13:51] these things are fantastic they're great

[1:13:52] Community Builders the police love them

[1:13:54] it's just it's is great to have

[1:13:55] everybody come together so I fully

[1:13:57] support this and I hope everybody else

[1:13:58] does

[1:14:01] too K I got coun

[1:14:04] D yeah I'm in support of this as well

[1:14:07] just a question if someone who lives on

[1:14:10] that street needs to go to work that

[1:14:12] night or come home from work do they

[1:14:15] have still have access to their

[1:14:18] driveway who would answer

[1:14:23] that anybody on staff

[1:14:25] no no no no no it's staff

[1:14:47] Joe through you mayor um as far as I

[1:14:51] know that there's the the road is closed

[1:14:54] um

[1:14:55] there's no access um but I'm sure

[1:14:58] they're neighborly and uh there won't be

[1:15:01] any arguments with uh getting in and out

[1:15:04] of their

[1:15:07] houses yeah the report the report

[1:15:10] indicates that everybody signed but one

[1:15:11] I think and they have a fire route in

[1:15:14] there so I'm assuming that fire R's

[1:15:15] access for them to get in out so I

[1:15:17] assume that will be taken care of but I

[1:15:19] I think we would have heard from many

[1:15:20] residents prior to that so councelor dky

[1:15:24] well I I what I hear and that last year

[1:15:27] they did have a barbecue the

[1:15:28] neighborhood all got together and had a

[1:15:30] barbecue but now you know this is

[1:15:32] structural you know they have a they

[1:15:34] have the fire route and uh and every all

[1:15:36] the nice to see a young younger family

[1:15:39] subdivision working together and um you

[1:15:42] know promoting you know and promoting a

[1:15:46] event but neighbors getting together and

[1:15:49] getting along and that you know can

[1:15:51] provide you know a different uh venue

[1:15:53] for the children safe environment for

[1:15:55] the kids and and and all the neighbors

[1:15:58] um coming together and get to know each

[1:16:00] other at the end of the day you know a

[1:16:01] lot of people dver has been always a

[1:16:03] bedroom community and it's nice to see

[1:17:03] staff in in that in the building

[1:17:05] department that assists a lot of local

[1:17:07] residents it's one thing to have a big

[1:17:08] Corporation or or a big Builder to have

[1:17:11] all these plans but when it's the little

[1:17:14] mom and pop that has a home and they

[1:20:19] proposed uh General housekeeping zoning

[1:20:21] bylaw updates so recommendation that

[1:20:23] report pln 2024 -36 titled proposed

[1:20:26] General housekeeping uh zoning bylaw

[1:20:28] updates be received for information and

[1:20:29] that Council directs staff to proceed

[1:20:31] with proposed Town initiated zoning

[1:20:33] bylaw

[1:20:34] 2010-05 updates as amended as outlined

[1:20:38] with within report pln 2024 36 and to

[1:20:42] proceed with public consultation on the

[1:20:44] proposed updates move by De mayor

[1:20:47] seconded by councelor Dey okay questions

[1:20:50] or concerns with this

[1:20:52] one I've got deputy mayor first then

[1:20:55] Council far Genie thank you your worship

[1:20:58] just a quick question maybe for Alan

[1:21:00] or or the author of the report um would

[1:21:05] this be the appropriate time um or the

[1:21:09] right uh Avenue I I know there are some

[1:21:12] outstanding matters that we were going

[1:21:14] to look at about the home

[1:21:17] businesses um that were not part of the

[1:21:19] zoning bylaw but we wanted to look at it

[1:21:23] when this opportunity came is this also

[1:21:26] that time or that's going to come at a

[1:21:28] separate time because there's residents

[1:21:29] that are waiting for that decision from

[1:21:32] us uh so subject to Allen's thoughts um

[1:21:35] that is a separate review from this

[1:21:38] process um once Council does make the

[1:21:40] decision on a home occupation review

[1:21:42] that future bylaw would be con into

[1:21:45] brought in forward into a Consolidated

[1:21:47] zoning bylaw so these four items that

[1:21:49] we've identified are separate from uh

[1:21:51] home occupations

[1:21:57] thank you we're Shi through you to

[1:21:58] Deputy Mayor Sandu uh yes so the home

[1:22:01] occupation zoning review is currently in

[1:22:03] its third uh iteration of consultation

[1:22:05] and refinement uh we've been uh very

[1:22:08] thankful for the additional feedback

[1:22:10] received for members of Council of

[1:22:11] council and the community uh in the

[1:22:14] recent past uh we feel that the third

[1:22:16] iteration uh of the draft Amendment

[1:22:18] reflects those uh points of feedback as

[1:22:21] well and we'll be looking forward to

[1:22:22] bringing a recommendation report to

[1:22:24] council on that in the near future thank

[1:22:27] you excellent thank you I had councelor

[1:22:30] FG

[1:22:31] next thank you um so in regards to I

[1:22:37] have two questions

[1:22:38] here the heights for the detached

[1:22:40] accessory buildings I know that we were

[1:22:43] you're doing some housekeeping here and

[1:22:44] you want to keep it similar to what our

[1:22:46] neighboring uh municipalities are doing

[1:22:48] however we're sitting at three mirror

[1:22:50] height when you're talking about a lot

[1:22:52] of urban development that we have

[1:22:54] because lots are so small right now and

[1:22:57] and um when they build an accessory

[1:22:59] dwelling unit in the back or a shed or

[1:23:01] whatever the case may be right now

[1:23:02] they're maxed out at about 10 feet and

[1:23:04] then we're going to up that which makes

[1:23:07] it that could be affecting neighbors

[1:23:10] views and their their quality of life

[1:23:12] and the things that we constantly hear

[1:23:14] all the time um do we have a lot of

[1:23:16] people who come in always asking for

[1:23:18] exemptions on the height when it comes

[1:23:20] to accessory dwelling units or uh

[1:23:23] garages or sheds or whatever the case

[1:23:24] may be because I'm not entirely sure if

[1:23:27] that's something that we should up based

[1:23:29] on the density of our urban areas and

[1:23:34] the second point was in regards to the

[1:23:36] residential permissions in the

[1:23:37] agricultural

[1:23:38] zoning

[1:23:42] um you know what answer the first

[1:23:44] question first and I'll think of my

[1:23:45] second

[1:23:48] question so under the current zoning

[1:23:51] bylaw um detached accessory structures

[1:23:54] are subject to a 0.6 M height if they go

[1:23:56] to over 3 m they're subject to a greater

[1:23:59] setback from the side yard as part of

[1:24:01] the review that we would undertake here

[1:24:03] um we would look at those setbacks as

[1:24:05] well so whether or not if we go to a 4

[1:24:07] meter height do we then need to apply a

[1:24:09] 1.2 met setback to all accessory

[1:24:12] structures so so there those are some of

[1:24:14] the things we'd be looking

[1:24:17] at set facts pay possibly be increased

[1:24:20] if you want to go with a further height

[1:24:21] okay and then in regards to the

[1:24:23] residential I know that with the

[1:24:26] permissions in

[1:24:27] agricultural we've had issues

[1:24:30] with back in the day of everybody

[1:24:32] separating 100 Acre Parcels so they

[1:24:35] broke them into 10 acre parcels and then

[1:24:36] that's why they put a ban on putting

[1:24:38] houses on there so it is what it is

[1:24:40] those have already been severed this

[1:24:42] does not affect the severance of

[1:24:45] agricultural land correct that would

[1:24:47] still say the same they have to have

[1:24:48] over 200 acres to split into 100 Acre

[1:24:50] Parcels correct so those um Provisions

[1:24:53] we're looking at to already existing

[1:24:55] Lots provincial and County policy uh

[1:24:58] restrict consents and agricultural

[1:25:02] areas okay further counc

[1:25:06] jordano so I'm not going to reiterate

[1:25:08] what councelor FG said I I have concerns

[1:25:10] with the the 3 meter increase in height

[1:25:12] someone who lives in a modern

[1:25:15] subdivision um yeah it would be very

[1:25:17] problematic in my opinion um the other

[1:25:20] thing too is I'm not a big fan of the

[1:25:22] the headline called proposed General

[1:25:23] housekeeping I think a lot of members of

[1:25:25] the public will not identify that and

[1:25:27] there's a there's a couple of nuggets of

[1:25:29] really important information in here

[1:25:30] that I think needs to be called out

[1:25:31] properly so that's just my comment on

[1:25:33] that I I think we you know this should

[1:25:35] be either separate or I I don't see this

[1:25:36] jammed as a as a as a just a

[1:25:39] housekeeping I would like that actually

[1:25:40] you know called out because I think a

[1:25:41] lot of people would actually have

[1:25:42] attention on this knowing that they can

[1:25:43] read and understand

[1:25:46] it okay thank you for those comments uh

[1:25:49] councilor for

[1:25:51] Kik yeah I'd like to just say I'm a

[1:25:54] report of us reviewing all these things

[1:25:57] because like with the heights

[1:26:00] it's we they keep having to go to

[1:26:02] counsel or to the committee of

[1:26:03] adjustment to get an adjustment and it

[1:26:05] gets approved so we're just wasting

[1:26:07] everyone's time so we should be just

[1:26:10] consistent that's that's what we're

[1:26:12] trying to do is is make and then people

[1:26:15] don't have to waste their

[1:26:17] time yeah you're you're right it's a

[1:26:20] it's timec consuming because it goes to

[1:26:21] the committee of adjustments and it's

[1:26:22] it's costly it's costly these are things

[1:26:25] that and we're only talking about going

[1:26:26] to public consultation we have made a

[1:26:28] decision we're just asking to say do we

[1:26:29] want to go to public consultation for

[1:26:31] these issues so uh the public Will Made

[1:26:33] fully aware of these issues and they'll

[1:26:34] be able to deal with it at that public

[1:26:36] consultation process so I have no

[1:26:38] problem with the way it's done and I uh

[1:26:39] look forward to that public meeting one

[1:26:42] additional on one additional okay and I

[1:26:45] also like the the repeal of this

[1:26:49] 1967 bylaw zoning thing because there's

[1:26:53] so many other restrictions now the pro

[1:26:56] provincial and County and official

[1:26:58] plants things have changed so much in

[1:27:00] the past almost 50 years this is a a

[1:27:03] good

[1:27:05] idea I'm I'm again I'm going to say I'm

[1:27:07] appreciative of this coming forward

[1:27:08] because we we want to clean up these

[1:27:10] zoning issues get some consistency out

[1:27:12] there and make it a lot easier for

[1:27:13] people to do their their business when

[1:27:14] it comes to things whether we're in

[1:27:15] favor or not not to not to be decided

[1:27:18] tonight we're just uh looking forward to

[1:27:19] making this a public meeting so okay

[1:27:22] further comments or questions on this

[1:27:25] okay seeing none and I do have a move in

[1:27:26] a second correct I did yeah oh Char

[1:27:30] thank you mayor so I was actually going

[1:27:31] to hold my commment because from what I

[1:27:34] read it said it's for informational

[1:27:37] purposes only but um because I do have

[1:27:40] few concerns but again it's only for

[1:27:42] information right and it's basically um

[1:27:45] asking Council permission to do the

[1:27:48] consultation I just want to make sure

[1:27:50] that there was no decision made in here

[1:27:53] with the language that was used so that

[1:27:56] moving forward we're like oh well

[1:27:58] council did you know make cuz to how it

[1:28:00] sound it sound as if decisions were made

[1:28:03] it kind of confusing a little bit right

[1:28:06] so I just want to make sure that this is

[1:28:08] just for information purpose only for it

[1:28:12] to go to the public for consultation and

[1:28:15] then when it comes back we can have a a

[1:28:17] good debate or more comments so I'll

[1:28:20] save it for them

[1:28:22] correct uh just to confir firm council

[1:28:24] is not making a decision this evening

[1:28:26] it's just for staff

[1:31:15] I'm okay with want to say um just just

[1:31:20] to give you an update you know when we

[1:31:22] seen that presentation by The Mills

[1:31:23] family I we got an email from I guess um

[1:31:27] all the many years of trian's

[1:31:29] construction and I I must say that uh

[1:31:32] you know with over 500 employees and all

[1:31:33] the municipalities we we I think we all

[1:31:35] got this email but I I found it on my

[1:31:37] phone but at the end of the day you know

[1:31:40] this application hasn't been easy

[1:31:42] because you're dealing with King

[1:31:43] Township York Region Bradford and I

[1:31:45] think this has going on for many years

[1:31:47] so I fully support and it's very

[1:31:49] difficult for their planning team and

[1:31:51] and them to put this together they're on

[1:31:54] the outskirts the the the the south end

[1:31:57] of our municipality and and there's a

[1:31:58] lot of hurdles to overcome this project

[1:32:01] so I'm in support of

[1:32:04] it thank you for those comments I've got

[1:32:07] dep mayor

[1:32:08] next thank you worship just a quick

[1:32:11] comment I'm happy to see this come

[1:32:13] forward this property as it mentioned in

[1:32:16] the report spans over two minut alties

[1:32:18] and next week I think new tech is

[1:32:20] dealing with this matter at their

[1:32:22] council meeting and I'm happy to sported

[1:32:24] and I think this is going to clean it up

[1:32:27] thanks thank you for those comments coun

[1:32:29] server

[1:32:32] yeah I'm in support of it as well I

[1:32:35] think it's uh we have very little

[1:32:37] Frontage on Highway 9 and it's it's

[1:32:40] already a commercial area there's a

[1:32:42] factory across the road of Auto Parts

[1:32:44] Plant uh there's a restaurant and gas

[1:32:47] station next to the property in new tech

[1:32:50] um it's just a it's just a way to clean

[1:32:53] the whole area up up and take advantage

[1:32:55] of

[1:32:57] it further comments or

[1:33:00] questions all right oh counc

[1:33:03] Dany uh my question is given that it

[1:33:05] crosses Municipal boundaries how will

[1:33:08] the proposed development impact the

[1:33:09] infrastructure and the services in that

[1:33:17] area sure

[1:33:22] thing thank you through your ship to

[1:33:24] councelor duany um certainly the

[1:33:27] question of providing services to the

[1:33:30] proposed development uh is something

[1:33:33] that has been uh significant focus in

[1:33:35] reviewing the

[1:33:36] applications um this report this evening

[1:33:39] focuses on the applications for official

[1:33:42] plan Amendment and Zoning byw Amendment

[1:33:44] which is essentially to establish the

[1:33:46] principle of the land use um the

[1:33:49] question of servicing details uh will be

[1:33:52] addressed in a future staff report

[1:33:54] subject to council's determination this

[1:33:55] evening would be addressed in a future

[1:33:57] staff report on the application for

[1:33:59] draft plan of vacant land condominium

[1:34:03] and that would deal with the overall uh

[1:34:05] servicing details essentially through

[1:34:08] the proposed subdivision of the land uh

[1:34:11] Trion has proposed to provide a communal

[1:34:14] storm Water Management Facility uh which

[1:34:17] would be part of the condominium uh

[1:34:19] Corporation elements uh that same block

[1:34:22] would provide a communal uh wastewater

[1:34:24] treatment facility and then the

[1:34:27] individual blocks would be proposed to

[1:34:29] be serviced by individual on-site

[1:34:31] Wells uh so all those matters would be

[1:34:34] dealt with as conditions of uh of draft

[1:34:36] plan of condominium approval uh

[1:34:39] presented to Council in a future

[1:34:42] report so those weren't looked into as

[1:34:44] of

[1:34:45] yet what if for example their barriers

[1:34:49] when it comes on to services and

[1:34:51] infrastructure how do we plan on dealing

[1:34:55] with

[1:34:56] that certainly thank you through your

[1:34:58] worship to councelor

[1:35:00] duany uh yes those have been reviewed uh

[1:35:03] through the applicant submission

[1:35:05] materials

[1:35:07] um the ultimate servicing scheme that

[1:35:10] the applicant will be responsible to

[1:35:12] design for would be made conditions of

[1:35:16] the draft plan of conduit approval uh

[1:35:19] Town staff and uh reviewing agencies are

[1:35:22] satisfied that the uh serviceability of

[1:35:25] the lands uh is is uh feasible at a

[1:35:29] functional level um the ultimate details

[1:35:32] of of how large the pipes will be where

[1:35:35] they will go what the design of the

[1:35:37] wastewater treatment plant will be in

[1:35:38] the storm water facility uh the ultimate

[1:35:41] design of those items would be made

[1:35:44] condition conditions of approval of uh

[1:35:47] the future uh draft plan of vacant land

[1:35:50] condo uh and again that those conditions

[1:35:52] are are under development V mment at the

[1:35:54] moment uh and those would be the subject

[1:35:56] of a future staff report so will there

[1:35:59] be another um public meeting to have um

[1:36:03] the public in the planning process at

[1:36:05] the in that next stage will there be

[1:36:07] another one I know that there was

[1:36:09] already one in the past but now that

[1:36:10] we're talking about a different stage

[1:36:12] will there be another one now in the

[1:36:14] planning process I believe um residents

[1:36:18] should actually be a part of that

[1:36:21] process just to ensure transparency and

[1:36:25] also trust so I would like to know will

[1:36:27] there be another one cuz it's a

[1:36:28] different process now dealing with that

[1:36:32] so uh certainly through your worship uh

[1:36:34] to you councelor danany um point taken

[1:36:38] in that respect uh the applications uh

[1:36:40] that were filed by on behalf of triand

[1:36:42] included for official plan Amendment

[1:36:43] zoning Amendment and draft plan of

[1:36:45] vacant land condo all three of those

[1:36:47] applications have undergone public

[1:36:49] consultation through a statutory public

[1:36:52] meeting

[1:36:54] um and so to proceed to a recommendation

[1:36:57] on a uh the draft plan of vacant land

[1:37:00] condo at a future date um Council would

[1:37:04] be within its authority to make a

[1:37:06] decision on that application separately

[1:37:08] uh as the stat consultation requirement

[1:37:11] uh has

[1:37:13] occurred yeah so they've had their

[1:37:15] public meeting in November of 2021 this

[1:37:17] has been three years ongoing and so uh

[1:37:21] look forward to seeing this come forward

[1:37:22] I thank uh Mr selli and his team for

[1:37:24] being patient with us and and moving

[1:37:26] forward this this is a tough one like I

[1:37:28] think uh councelor Dei had mentioned

[1:37:30] we're talking about multiple

[1:37:31] jurisdictions when it comes to that uh

[1:37:33] that area it's difficult but it is

[1:37:36] absolutely a perfect spot for commercial

[1:37:39] uh industry in that area it's a highway

[1:37:41] it's a major highway it's a perfect spot

[1:37:43] for it so uh I can't see why we would

[1:37:46] never support that I think it's a

[1:37:47] absolute good one for us and good for Mr

[1:37:50] sandelli I think like Mr D yet said uh a

[1:37:53] businessman that's been doing a lot of

[1:37:55] business I think way back I don't want

[1:37:57] to say it sir but quite quite a very

[1:37:59] expensive uh business that he runs so he

[1:38:01] he does quite a few dollars in business

[1:38:04] so great for a lot of his employees

[1:38:06] living in our community working near

[1:38:08] home just purchased another uh business

[1:38:10] to bring to Bradford so we look forward

[1:38:12] to that so anyways I I'm in full support

[1:38:14] of this and look forward to seeing that

[1:38:15] site plan come through in the very near

[1:38:17] future further comments or questions

[1:38:20] councilor

[1:38:21] jordano just one quick question question

[1:38:24] um you said commercial but this is

[1:38:25] commercial industrial right the property

[1:38:27] is there any actual plans for commercial

[1:38:30] retail in this

[1:38:31] area uh through you Mr Mayor to

[1:38:33] councelor jodano uh the applicant has

[1:38:36] indicated potential for a motor vehicle

[1:38:38] gas bar as well as a Lumberyard Home

[1:38:41] Hardware type

[1:38:43] store okay yeah I drive past that quite

[1:38:46] often on the way to work and that would

[1:38:48] be very beneficial to the uh to the

[1:38:50] surrounding area like uh there's a lot

[1:38:52] of homes that are developing special in

[1:38:53] that little shamber kind of corner um

[1:38:56] and yeah there's definitely a lot of

[1:38:58] commercial industrial that happens in

[1:38:59] that space so I I support both uh but I

[1:39:02] I definitely would love to see some of

[1:39:04] that retail commercial brought in thank

[1:39:06] you all right thank you very

[1:39:08] much see no further

[1:39:10] comments all right all in favor as

[1:39:13] amended carried thank you we are on to

[1:39:20] 11.8 request for hold removal Bradford

[1:39:22] Capital holding Inc recommendation that

[1:39:24] report pln 202442 title request for hold

[1:39:28] removal D14

[1:39:31] d247 Bradford Capital Holdings Inc block

[1:39:33] 404 plan 51 m1063 be receive for

[1:39:37] information and the council adopt a

[1:39:39] bylaw to remove the hold H1 symbol from

[1:39:41] the lands legally described as block 404

[1:39:44] plan M51 or 51m uh 1063 such that the

[1:39:48] removal of the hold H1 provision takes

[1:39:51] effect upon the execution of the site

[1:39:52] plan agreement for proposed development

[1:39:54] of lands move by C second by councelor

[1:39:59] Harper question concerns with this one

[1:40:01] just remove the hold counc

[1:40:05] f um so in the report I see that it says

[1:40:08] to remove the hold based on the

[1:40:10] execution of the site plan approval so

[1:40:12] are there

[1:40:14] still are there still options to change

[1:40:16] the site plan is that what the town's

[1:40:18] going to be working with the developer

[1:40:20] because the one concern I have is I know

[1:40:22] we've been wanting you units like this

[1:40:24] having commercial on the bottom and

[1:40:26] having upstairs having the units um but

[1:40:29] based on the location and the way that

[1:40:32] it's all set up in the report it

[1:40:33] actually says

[1:40:35] uh six commercial units on the first

[1:40:38] floor but if you actually look at the

[1:40:40] site plan there's 12 they're split right

[1:40:42] down the middle of the building there's

[1:40:44] 12 units and they're only about 700

[1:40:47] Square ft each so what type of

[1:40:51] businesses are we expecting like the

[1:40:53] local residents would like to have you

[1:40:56] know something that's easy to walk to

[1:40:58] that's convenient but if you got 700 F

[1:41:00] feet what are you putting in there are

[1:41:02] we basically having like accountants uh

[1:41:05] one chair hair salon a nail place maybe

[1:41:08] is that is that kind of what we're

[1:41:09] looking at are you going to be able to

[1:41:10] put restaurants in this place where

[1:41:12] somebody can go um I just feel that with

[1:41:15] how small the retail units are it's

[1:41:17] almost setting it up for either tight

[1:41:20] tight office spaces or

[1:41:23] basically failure for any kind

[1:41:25] of uh you know any space that needs more

[1:41:28] room than that are there options to

[1:41:30] actually open up a couple of the units

[1:41:31] because it looks like the separations

[1:41:33] are concrete so I don't know if if you

[1:41:36] were able to break a wall or something

[1:41:38] where they could actually make it 1300

[1:41:40] squ F feet and it's a usable space for

[1:41:42] 1300 F feet makes a lot more sense so I

[1:41:44] don't know if maybe it's something that

[1:41:46] you can still have a discussion before

[1:41:47] approving the site plan um before

[1:41:50] executing it

[1:41:55] certainly thank you through your worship

[1:41:56] to council for aie from a planning

[1:42:00] perspective uh the zoning bylaw and the

[1:42:02] site plan control agreement would not uh

[1:42:05] be as focused on the number of

[1:42:06] commercial units per se but rather the

[1:42:08] amount of commercial gross floor area if

[1:42:11] in the and and this is quite uh common

[1:42:13] to see in site plan applications where

[1:42:16] an architectural site plan drawing May

[1:42:18] refer to a specific number of commercial

[1:42:20] units um certainly having seen uh

[1:42:23] different commercial developments uh

[1:42:25] proceed uh my inference or understanding

[1:42:28] is that that is a reflection of what is

[1:42:31] possible uh and may not reflect uh how

[1:42:34] the units are actually how the space is

[1:42:36] actually parceled out uh when when

[1:42:39] occupants would be

[1:42:41] uh taking up the

[1:42:43] space uh but certainly the uh the site

[1:42:46] plan uh approval drawings are uh nearing

[1:42:49] the finish line so to speak and so this

[1:42:52] report is being presented to council um

[1:42:55] with the recommendation that the bylaw

[1:42:57] be passed and that the holding provision

[1:42:58] take effect on execution of the

[1:43:00] agreement such that in the event that

[1:43:03] that were to occur sometime between

[1:43:04] today and September 3rd it wouldn't

[1:43:06] delay the issuance of full building

[1:43:08] permit such that the development could

[1:43:10] proceed more

[1:43:12] expeditiously yeah so is answer your

[1:43:15] question Council verini like the

[1:43:17] structures there they're not changing

[1:43:18] that it's basically it's like Alan said

[1:43:20] the square footage and if they work out

[1:43:22] to be for commercial spaces 6 12

[1:43:25] whatever it works out to be based on I

[1:43:27] think rentals uh in the end it's what

[1:43:29] whatever they can get in there so it

[1:43:31] bring any closure no I well I understand

[1:43:34] that it's just the way that okay so it

[1:43:36] could potentially change because the way

[1:43:38] that it's laid out it doesn't look like

[1:43:40] it can just because it's all all

[1:43:42] structural it's all concrete walls and

[1:43:44] stuff and even the way that they have

[1:43:46] the loading area set up who's going to

[1:43:48] be able to use that so I just wanted to

[1:43:50] make I want to make it successful that's

[1:43:52] what I want I want to see it become a

[1:43:53] successful

[1:43:55] space thank you we all do okay councelor

[1:43:59] jordano yeah so alen I heard your answer

[1:44:02] but I'm a little disappointed because I

[1:44:03] was I was actually hoping and I think

[1:44:05] when when they came last time and we

[1:44:07] talked about this project I was pretty

[1:44:08] pretty excited about the fact that this

[1:44:10] could be you can have long double double

[1:44:12] long units or double wide units and all

[1:44:14] that stuff and if that's not necessarily

[1:44:17] to to councel Fair genus point if you

[1:44:19] got concrete walls and everything else

[1:44:20] that are structural to deal with I you

[1:44:22] know I'm going to have a problem with

[1:44:23] this project because again we we're

[1:44:25] looking for success and we want to set

[1:44:26] benchmarks for projects for people to

[1:44:29] model after and I can't I can't get

[1:44:32] excited about this knowing that we're

[1:44:33] going to have these these micro retail

[1:44:35] units I I I need them to be able to

[1:44:37] expand and to you know to have it in a

[1:44:39] way where you can have a a restaurant

[1:44:42] that needs two or three wide in order to

[1:44:44] accommodate you know their their their

[1:44:46] you know their demographic or you know

[1:44:48] double like double length if they want

[1:44:50] to have uh two two sets of um you know

[1:44:52] store frontages right so this is this is

[1:44:54] where when I saw this now I I started

[1:44:57] having reservations about it so I'm I'm

[1:45:00] really leaning on you guys to help you

[1:45:01] know push that agenda forward to make

[1:45:03] sure that this this does have that

[1:45:04] ability without it being a uh you know

[1:45:06] just a hole through a concrete wall you

[1:45:08] can't just be a doorway cut that's not

[1:45:09] going to that's not going to be

[1:45:11] beneficial to to people opening it up

[1:45:13] and and and uh you know basically having

[1:45:14] quality retail in

[1:45:17] there

[1:45:19] Helen certainly thank you through your

[1:45:21] worship to councel Jordan

[1:45:23] uh and my apologies perhaps I should

[1:45:24] have unpacked this as well in the

[1:45:26] previous uh response um certainly do see

[1:45:30] uh a couple of notations within the

[1:45:31] first few pages of the architectural

[1:45:33] drawings which um may be open to some

[1:45:35] interpretation for instance one of the

[1:45:37] pages refers to 12 commercial units uh

[1:45:40] going on to the next couple of pages

[1:45:42] there are um firewalls dividing six

[1:45:46] spaces uh and so ultimately how that

[1:45:49] space would be uh capable of being

[1:45:51] divided uh would need to defer to the

[1:45:54] applicant uh I do know that um a

[1:45:56] representative on behalf of the property

[1:45:58] owner is here however uh not familiar

[1:46:00] with their specific involvement in this

[1:46:03] project in particular in the event that

[1:46:05] Council uh may wish to look to them for

[1:46:08] comments as

[1:46:12] well okay I've got Council for kite next

[1:46:14] and then if the applicant wants to uh

[1:46:16] talk it

[1:46:18] over yeah I I would Echo what uh Peter

[1:46:22] and Joseph are saying it doesn't look

[1:46:24] like a great design but I think we're

[1:46:27] talking about the I think there was a

[1:46:30] lot of manipulation to get the number of

[1:46:32] parking spaces reduced to fit on a tiny

[1:46:36] parcel of land so they made uh I think

[1:46:40] they're 1400 square foot Apartments so

[1:46:43] so so you only need 1 point something

[1:46:46] parking spots per those 12 apartments

[1:46:49] and then the retail commercial was based

[1:46:53] on square footage so I then all of a

[1:46:56] sudden you start changing these things

[1:46:57] now do the parking requirements change

[1:47:03] Allan certainly thank you through your

[1:47:05] SHP to cver Kik uh the parking

[1:47:08] requirements would not differ based on

[1:47:10] the number of commercial units it would

[1:47:11] be influenced by the commercial gross

[1:47:13] floor

[1:47:17] area okay great conversation we look

[1:47:22] forward to this getting through CC

[1:47:25] Dy

[1:47:27] clarification these units are going to

[1:47:29] be condos as sold or or this is going to

[1:47:32] be built by um by the the applicant to

[1:47:36] rent totally or are these are even the

[1:47:39] commercial and the upstairs can be all

[1:47:40] can be sold as condos

[1:47:42] like like just a quick

[1:47:46] question certainly through your worship

[1:47:48] to councelor um Dy uh the town is not

[1:47:52] yet in reced of of an application for uh

[1:47:54] condominium draft plan of condominium

[1:47:56] condominium exemption uh and so

[1:47:59] therefore whether or not the residential

[1:48:01] units would be condominium ised so to

[1:48:03] speak uh rests with the applicant based

[1:48:06] on their determination of whether or not

[1:48:08] to

[1:48:11] apply

[1:48:13] okay all right fa comments or

[1:48:16] questions counc deaney um thank you

[1:48:19] mayor I know this is um I even know what

[1:48:23] to vote on is the applicant here can

[1:48:25] they explain more on the spaces what are

[1:48:28] their intent for those spaces how do

[1:48:30] they Vision the spaces what will be

[1:48:32] there so that um we can make conscious

[1:48:47] decision sorry good evening Neil Palmer

[1:48:50] I'm with the applicant at least most of

[1:48:52] you know me

[1:48:53] um so to answer a few of the questions I

[1:48:56] believe there's an error in the staff

[1:48:58] report about the number of commercial

[1:49:00] units it should be 12 not six uh but I

[1:49:03] saw that wasn't in the recommendation so

[1:49:05] I didn't think it was a a big concern

[1:49:08] we've already been before you for the uh

[1:49:10] zoning so the zoning is in place is

[1:49:14] approved um we're very close to

[1:49:17] finalizing the uh site updated site plan

[1:49:19] drawings to respond to all of the

[1:49:22] comments we received from staff very

[1:49:25] close is in we might it might be in this

[1:49:27] week uh Our intention is to file a

[1:49:31] condominium application so the tenure

[1:49:34] would be condominium so the units would

[1:49:37] be sold so there is opportunity there if

[1:49:40] someone bought two units that uh I guess

[1:49:44] they buy them prior to us

[1:49:46] constructing we could probably eliminate

[1:49:48] some of the the uh closures the wall

[1:49:51] closures to allow opening of the units

[1:49:53] subject to fire regulations and whatnot

[1:49:56] but that's our intention is to uh file a

[1:49:59] condominium application sell the units

[1:50:02] so 12 residential and 12 commercial and

[1:50:06] I think that answered most of the

[1:50:08] questions did did I miss anything from

[1:50:10] any of the counselors oh I think you

[1:50:11] grabbed it pretty good there it's it's

[1:50:13] good I any business can get in there

[1:50:15] right it could it could be a bookkeeper

[1:50:16] could be an accountant we don't know I

[1:50:18] mean it doesn't have to be a restaurant

[1:50:20] it could be separate it its services we

[1:50:22] have a lot of homebased businesses are

[1:50:23] trying to get out of their home and get

[1:50:25] into an actual structure so whether it's

[1:50:26] a 700 foot or, 1400 foot residential

[1:50:29] build it's it or a commercial space it's

[1:50:32] a commercial space so I think it's uh

[1:50:34] it's there there's 12 of them and like

[1:50:35] Neil said if they somebody wants two of

[1:50:37] them they can expand their business or

[1:50:39] three of them or whatever it takes so

[1:50:41] this just to remove the hold so okay

[1:50:43] Council

[1:50:45] jordano so I've purchased something like

[1:50:47] this in the past where I've I purchased

[1:50:49] a ground floor commercial residential

[1:50:51] above and the the issue is the the

[1:50:53] building structure itself had more of a

[1:50:55] column system for the for the the

[1:50:57] commercial ground floor therefore I was

[1:51:01] able to On Assignment sell my commercial

[1:51:03] unit to the dentist that needed four

[1:51:05] units but that that took place after

[1:51:08] construction so the point is is that if

[1:51:10] if you're going to say oh yeah maybe we

[1:51:11] can change the walls post construction

[1:51:15] that's that's you know like businesses

[1:51:17] turn over you have new people coming in

[1:51:19] and out I I just feel like having a

[1:51:21] different design for the commercial that

[1:51:24] allows for that expansion you can you

[1:51:26] can build firewalls out of anything it

[1:51:27] doesn't have to be concrete right so

[1:51:30] again the disappointment is is that

[1:51:32] you're basically saying well come early

[1:51:33] buy them early and decide what you're

[1:51:35] doing up this point but in 5 years 10

[1:51:36] years from now what we stuck with right

[1:51:38] whatever somebody purchased and whatever

[1:51:39] you designed around so I like the

[1:51:41] flexibility so somebody can eventually

[1:51:43] expand their business not maybe they

[1:51:45] only need one or two units in the

[1:51:46] beginning and in the future they want a

[1:51:47] third or fourth but with this design

[1:51:50] they may not allow for that to take

[1:51:51] place so that that's my

[1:51:54] concern okay thank you for that further

[1:51:58] comments or

[1:51:59] questions okay seeing none all in

[1:52:03] favor how many hands up please I need to

[1:56:41] and do I have move to second or for this

[1:56:43] move by councelor D second by councelor

[1:56:45] Scott all in favor carried okay let's go

[1:56:49] to

[1:56:51] 13.33 Scott

[1:56:53] thanks Mr Mayor I I'd like to propose an

[1:56:55] amendment to this uh I'm very happy

[1:56:59] thank you to the traffic and Community

[1:57:01] Safety Committee for dealing with The

[1:57:04] Pedestrian Crossing at St Maria of the

[1:57:06] Incarnation Catholic school I think

[1:57:07] these are really good options uh I I

[1:57:10] thought a raised crosswalk could work

[1:57:12] here but this is the simpler more

[1:57:14] cost-effective solution and I think it

[1:57:16] will make a real difference uh curn

[1:57:18] Street has a couple of traffic safety

[1:57:21] issues and this deals with one of the

[1:57:24] two the other is speeding particularly

[1:57:27] north of Britannia up towards theet and

[1:57:32] curn like some of the older roads

[1:57:33] bretania or Fletcher nearby are wider so

[1:57:36] on street parking doesn't really provide

[1:57:39] any sort of natural speed deterrent so

[1:57:42] what I would like to do is use the uh

[1:57:45] the idea that we're adding ballards to

[1:57:47] the uh pedestrian Crossing at the school

[1:57:50] to add up to three more ballards for

[1:57:52] Speed mitigation along the stretch of

[1:57:54] curn from britania to deset most of that

[1:57:57] area is a community safety zone between

[1:57:59] the school and lines Park anyway uh and

[1:58:01] the residents have made clear on this

[1:58:03] street that they really want to tackle

[1:58:05] speeding as well as the the crosswalk

[1:58:07] safety so I see this in line with what

[1:58:09] we've talked about in the past in terms

[1:58:10] of tackling things holistically even in

[1:58:13] advance of the TMS and and I'm hoping I

[1:58:16] think it's about $1,500 that this would

[1:58:18] cost to do and

[1:58:19] and it's one nice clean intervention to

[1:58:22] do both the crosswalk and the speeding

[1:58:24] at the same time so I I hope Council

[1:58:26] will support it and I I think the clerk

[1:58:28] has the wording of the amendment as

[1:58:37] well further comments or discussion on

[1:58:39] this councelor jordano and then

[1:58:41] councelor

[1:58:42] F so you know in the in the past when we

[1:58:45] had this this committee it was uh

[1:58:47] considered a uh you know a committee

[1:58:49] that was based on data but I've said it

[1:58:52] and you repeated it a lot of people have

[1:58:54] talked about it the holistic approach is

[1:58:55] you cannot you cannot Overlook and the

[1:58:58] fact that you went and spoke to the

[1:58:59] residents similar to what Harper did

[1:59:01] with Northgate similar to what I did

[1:59:02] with blue Dasher before was on Council

[1:59:04] that really matters because you're

[1:59:06] you're you're literally getting the

[1:59:07] insight to match with the data and so

[1:59:10] those ballards are very coste effective

[1:59:13] and will will have a you know an impact

[1:59:16] I'm on cobber quite often and so

[1:59:18] anything I can do to help support that

[1:59:20] area um and you know again I I'm glad

[1:59:23] that you you brought that forward

[1:59:24] because you know it is a community

[1:59:26] safety zone both where the school is and

[1:59:27] then just down the street with Lions

[1:59:29] Park so it makes perfect sense and you

[1:59:31] know sometimes uh it's just right on the

[1:59:33] cups of the data and you have permanent

[1:59:35] or semi-permanent kind of speed

[1:59:37] mitigations in place currently the

[1:59:39] ballards are more of a physical one that

[1:59:41] people will see so I totally support

[1:59:44] it thank you Council

[1:59:47] forini um unfortunately I wasn't at the

[1:59:50] last traffic meeting I wasn't able to

[1:59:52] attend however from my understanding

[1:59:55] this wasn't actually discussed this part

[1:59:56] of curn so the updated numbers

[2:00:01] um when we talk about data and

[2:00:03] everything that we do as a committee the

[2:00:06] discussions that happen as a committee

[2:00:08] those recommendations come to council so

[2:00:10] when when something is added after at

[2:00:12] Council I'm not a big fan of that I

[2:00:14] think it should be discussed at the

[2:00:15] committee level and that's when the

[2:00:17] recommendations come forward so because

[2:00:19] of that reason I can't support this um

[2:00:22] don't I don't like it when it's dropped

[2:00:24] last minute kind of thing I think it

[2:00:26] should have been discussed at the

[2:00:27] committee

[2:00:29] level okay thank you for those comments

[2:00:32] councelor Harper and councelor

[2:00:35] dky uh just to be fair and um to the

[2:00:38] point we did discuss the north end of

[2:00:40] that at the committee um but we were

[2:00:44] held off because there was

[2:00:47] semi permanent kind of like uh speed

[2:00:50] measuring devices or um that were put

[2:00:53] there but there was a recommendation

[2:00:55] that if those did move Ballard should go

[2:00:57] in place there so we did have good

[2:00:59] discussion the numbers were presented to

[2:01:01] us uh I'm sorry that um that wasn't

[2:01:04] communicated to you so it was discussed

[2:01:06] it was actually uh discussed throughout

[2:01:08] the committee um so I'm happy with this

[2:01:11] recommendation as

[2:01:15] Welly I see I see uh sherff F's uh point

[2:01:20] of view but but um looking saying that

[2:01:24] um you know I can see we all don't like

[2:01:27] to see things drop La last minute but

[2:01:29] but my concerns I'm going to support it

[2:01:33] um because there's no doubt you know we

[2:01:35] talk to Residents and no better um any

[2:01:39] situation the residents living there uh

[2:01:42] that communicate with us know the best

[2:01:45] at the end of the day they see it they

[2:01:46] live it every day they see the cars

[2:01:48] speeding and and and all the traffic uh

[2:01:52] situations my question here is with this

[2:01:54] new Committee of of council disbanding

[2:01:57] that how or my question to our mayor is

[2:02:02] where do we where we we going to go with

[2:02:05] this uh dealing with the small issues

[2:02:07] the council with this new committee like

[2:02:09] U that's my my concern we had a

[2:02:11] subcommittee that dealt with a lot of

[2:02:13] people that came to the meeting they

[2:02:14] spoke on it we we listened we put the

[2:02:17] data together my concern is as a group

[2:02:20] is this how's this going to together in

[2:02:22] the future that's my my concern because

[2:02:25] there's still a lot of streets that

[2:02:26] haven't been addressed in word one word

[2:02:28] 7even word six there's still more

[2:02:30] streets to be done and I just want I I

[2:02:32] want to make sure our residents have

[2:02:34] that opportunity at this new community

[2:02:36] on the 4th of the month that that we can

[2:02:38] still deliver what we need to for our

[2:02:41] for the people elected

[2:02:43] us yeah so thank you for the question

[2:02:45] it's a strategic initi committee and it

[2:02:47] has it combines the projects committee

[2:02:49] and the sa traffic and Safety Committee

[2:02:51] so it's going to come to the same

[2:02:52] committee it'll come uh the same way so

[2:02:55] no issue there uh councelor deaney thank

[2:02:58] you mayor so I'm going to support this

[2:03:00] reason being Community safety is our

[2:03:02] number one priority and anything that we

[2:03:05] can do to help to mitigate some of the

[2:03:07] issues that we're having in our

[2:03:09] community so I definitely support

[2:03:13] it thank you councelor Scott well thank

[2:03:16] youone I just wanted to reply to

[2:03:18] councelor far gen's comments I first

[2:03:22] and the notion that this is adding

[2:03:23] something in last minute I I first

[2:03:26] raised this concern the week I was

[2:03:28] elected in 2020 with Gary lamb when he

[2:03:31] was in your chair as or in your former

[2:03:34] chair as chair of the Traffic Safety

[2:03:35] Committee and that's where we came with

[2:03:39] the digital radar sign extending the

[2:03:40] community safety zone uh hiring a new

[2:03:44] crossing guard at The Pedestrian

[2:03:46] Crossing at Marie of the Incarnation

[2:03:48] when I I think and correct me if I'm

[2:03:50] wrong but I think corre councelor G

[2:03:52] orano had asked to look at the in or the

[2:03:55] uh crosswalk I had email committee

[2:03:57] members of the former Traffic Safety

[2:04:00] Committee to say can we also look at the

[2:04:02] entire Street and I had suggested that

[2:04:04] the residents and I'll give a shout out

[2:04:06] to Katherine booth in particular were

[2:04:08] asking for Speed bumps at the North End

[2:04:10] of the Street so I did that in advance

[2:04:12] of the committee meeting as councelor

[2:04:14] Harper says there was some discussion

[2:04:16] there and both the residents in the

[2:04:18] committee had said maybe if not speed

[2:04:19] bumps at least ballards could be looked

[2:04:21] at I

[2:04:22] when I saw the recommendation that it

[2:04:23] wasn't in there I figured I would reach

[2:04:26] out to the committee ask why it wasn't

[2:04:27] in there basically everyone said

[2:04:30] actually I think it could go in there so

[2:04:31] I'm moving in as Amendment today but uh

[2:04:34] in in response to the notion that it's a

[2:04:36] last minute addition to my mind it's

[2:04:38] something I've been asking for for four

[2:04:40] years every step of the

[2:04:42] way okay thank you for the comer of

[2:04:46] questions all right so we have an

[2:04:48] amended recommendation here and I'll

[2:04:50] read it that the council approve the

[2:04:52] impation the implementation of the

[2:04:54] U-turn restriction uh restrictions

[2:04:56] between scanland Avenue and Porter

[2:04:58] Street and Nataly Court the installation

[2:05:01] of pedestrian related signage uh on

[2:05:03] approaches to pedestrian Crossings

[2:05:05] option three use LINE markings and

[2:05:06] bullers to create a pinch point and

[2:05:08] daylight triangle a daylight Zone around

[2:05:11] the existing pox and the council request

[2:05:13] staff to investigate cost associated

[2:05:15] with remove the sidewalk on the west

[2:05:16] side of curn street north of scanland

[2:05:19] Avenue and that Council request staff

[2:05:22] install up to three Bullards from

[2:05:24] batania Avenue to intersections of deset

[2:05:26] Street along curn Street to mitigate

[2:05:28] speeding

[2:05:30] concerns all it's

[2:05:34] a one question go

[2:05:37] ahead do we need to say and to relocate

[2:05:40] the digital signage but that will get

[2:05:43] moved right we're not going to keep both

[2:05:44] right so make

[2:05:46] sure yeah that'll get they'll relocate

[2:05:49] somewhere okay all in

[2:05:53] favor carried thank

[2:05:55] you okay we are on to uh 13 uh 13

[2:06:03] 1335 recommendation that Council approve

[2:06:05] the following so Council

[2:06:09] Harper thanks mayor when I this report

[2:06:12] came to traffic committee last the last

[2:06:15] and final traffic committee um it was

[2:06:19] actually um one of the rep that was said

[2:06:23] that would come to us after installing

[2:06:25] and approving the West um speed humps um

[2:06:31] I was quite shocked to see that all the

[2:06:33] work that uh definitely needed to be

[2:06:35] here something that has been reiterated

[2:06:37] by hundreds of parents and especially

[2:06:39] regarding the school at this three-way

[2:06:41] intersection and off leer as well

[2:06:43] there's still some work to be done when

[2:06:45] I read the recommendations here I'd like

[2:06:47] to take out the red curb painted part

[2:06:52] um with my extensive conversations with

[2:06:54] bylaw in regards to this and it's not a

[2:06:58] because one resident talks about their

[2:06:59] property being devalued or anything like

[2:07:01] that I just don't think that if we put

[2:07:03] it in right now with this the signage

[2:07:06] going in there the signage itself will

[2:07:08] give authorization for bylaw enough to

[2:07:10] actually enforce it whether there's a

[2:07:12] red curb or not so I'd like to maybe

[2:07:14] just leave the red curb out and in case

[2:07:17] that the signage doesn't work we do have

[2:07:18] that extra step in case we need to use

[2:07:21] that for a pilot uh somewhere down the

[2:07:23] line so that's what I'd like to strike

[2:07:25] that from this

[2:07:27] amendment and if anybody like to Second

[2:07:29] so who would like to second that but

[2:07:31] councel jordano second that so it's just

[2:07:33] removing the curbing the third bullet

[2:07:35] point that the curbing be painted red on

[2:07:38] North Gate to denote locations of

[2:07:39] parking and no parking so that's just to

[2:07:41] remove that whole statement so I will

[2:07:43] read the recommendation any further

[2:07:45] comments or questions about this counc

[2:07:48] jordano I was actually looking forward

[2:07:50] to the red curve

[2:07:51] just because we really don't have that

[2:07:54] but I definitely appreciate the concept

[2:07:57] of you know instead of going all in

[2:07:59] let's let's do this and if it works then

[2:08:01] we don't need to go to that extreme

[2:08:03] measure but knowing that we have that in

[2:08:04] our back pocket it's actually a smart

[2:08:06] idea and then that way you know uh we

[2:08:09] don't have to execute it unless it's

[2:08:10] absolutely needed

[2:08:12] so excellent okay further comments your

[2:08:16] questions so that Council proved the

[2:08:18] following that the parking be permitted

[2:08:19] on the West Side Northgate Drive from

[2:08:21] March Avenue to North to Noble Drive

[2:08:23] currently alternating uh that no parking

[2:08:25] no stopping be designated on the east

[2:08:27] side of Northgate Drive from Archer

[2:08:29] Avenue to Noble Drive the installation

[2:08:31] of no parking signs 15 meters from the

[2:08:33] intersection of noble drive and

[2:08:34] Northgate Drive on Noble Drive uh as

[2:08:37] well as 15 meters from the intersection

[2:08:38] of Archer Avenue and Northgate Drive on

[2:08:41] Archer Avenue the installation of no

[2:08:43] u-turn signage between Archer Avenue and

[2:08:46] ruley Street on Northgate Drive and the

[2:08:47] installation of Center only 40 km per

[2:08:50] hour Bullards near near the pathway

[2:08:52] entrance on Fletcher

[2:08:54] Street okay all in favor carried thank

[2:08:59] you okay that's that we're on to no new

[2:09:03] business

[2:09:06] bylaws so I have because we amended the

[2:09:10] uh the

[2:09:11] report 11 uh seven or eight I think it

[2:09:16] was 11.7 I have uh the recommendation

[2:09:19] that the bylaws 2024 55 20 24

[2:09:25] 62 2463

[2:09:28] 24 66 be passed save and accept 20

[2:09:33] 2465 all right so that's

[2:09:36] 15.4 so it is uh that bylaws 2024 55 62

[2:09:42] 63 and 66 so 55 is traffic bylaw

[2:09:46] Amendment 5 62 is Bradford Capital

[2:09:49] Holdings Inc remove the bylaw

[2:09:52] and 63 is Canada community building fund

[2:09:54] Municipal funding agreement bylaw and 66

[2:09:58] is the official plan amendment number

[2:10:00] four bylaw okay and we were moved to

[2:10:03] 15.4 move

[2:10:06] by Deputy Mayor Sandu seconded by

[2:10:08] councel

[2:10:10] jordano bylaws

[2:10:13] bylaws 15.4 is removed we won't be by we

[2:10:16] won't be passing it tonight because of

[2:10:18] what we did early because of what we did

[2:10:19] early it that's where and the

[2:10:21] recommendation said will come back

[2:10:22] September 3rd okay so they've got some

[2:10:25] adjustments to do that so councelor
