1
00:04:23,770 --> 00:04:31,297
Members of council. Ladies and gentlemen. Clerk advises me that

2
00:04:31,297 --> 00:04:35,537
it is now 07:00 so I will call this meeting

3
00:04:35,537 --> 00:04:38,297
to order. And just before we get into some of.

4
00:04:39,617 --> 00:04:47,656
The formalities this evening. Councilor Ijaz is attempting to connect

5
00:04:47,656 --> 00:04:50,816
remotely. He's not with us yet, but. If he can't

6
00:04:50,816 --> 00:04:55,201
connect. He'll be marked as with his regret, so he

7
00:04:55,201 --> 00:04:59,041
may or may not be able to. Join us. And

8
00:04:59,041 --> 00:05:04,635
as well, members of council, you'll know, since. We last

9
00:05:04,635 --> 00:05:09,667
met. There's some new configuration around the council table and

10
00:05:09,667 --> 00:05:13,347
of course, some new technology for everyone. That's sitting on

11
00:05:13,347 --> 00:05:16,751
the floor. So things have changed just a little bit.

12
00:05:18,623 --> 00:05:24,226
So with that, we are going to. Proceed. So when

13
00:05:24,226 --> 00:05:26,066
I ask you to send and join me in a

14
00:05:26,066 --> 00:05:30,146
moment of silent reflection, our national anthem and I will

read the traditional land acknowledgment.

16
00:06:01,185 --> 00:06:07,265
Oh, can I die? Our home and native.

We commit to working. Towards reconciliation. Thank you.

29
00:07:49,836 --> 00:07:57,833
Madam Clerk, are there any agenda announcements? I just wanted

30
00:07:57,833 --> 00:08:00,153

44
00:08:50,808 --> 00:08:53,128
you very much for that. Has any member of council

45
00:08:53,128 --> 00:09:01,042
a disclosure. I'm not seeing any. So as our policy

46
00:09:01,042 --> 00:09:07,219
dictates. Councilor bass will assume the chair. Very few brief

47
00:09:07,219 --> 00:09:10,739
moments and we'll turn things around. And give us a

48
00:09:10,739 --> 00:09:14,870
couple of minutes and we'll continue. This council meeting. Thank

49
00:09:14,870 --> 00:09:15,310
you, councilor best.

50
00:10:15,610 --> 00:10:18,250

in favor? Motions carried. Okay.

55
00:10:38,585 --> 00:10:41,267
We are now going to. Be doing a public hearing

56
00:10:41,267 --> 00:10:45,638
under the Development Charges Act. I'll have our finance director

57
00:10:45,638 --> 00:10:49,227
do a brief introduction. Thank you. So this will be

58
00:10:49,227 --> 00:10:51,827
a hearing under the education act as it pertains to.

59
00:10:51,827 --> 00:10:55,907
A complaint related to the application of development charges under

60
00:10:55,907 --> 00:10:58,907
that act and the bylaws of the two school boards.

61
00:10:58,907 --> 00:11:01,627
To be clear, there are no implications here with respect

62
00:11:01,627 --> 00:11:05,107
to the town's. Development charges or the Development charges Act.

63
00:11:05,107 --> 00:11:09,613
However, as the education. Act requires local council to hear

64
00:11:09,613 --> 00:11:13,773
DC complaints. We have convened this hearing. In the staff

65
00:11:13,773 --> 00:11:16,293
report that is presented, you will find the positions of

66
00:11:16,293 --> 00:11:19,333
each party being the property. Owner and the school boards.

67
00:11:19,333 --> 00:11:22,893
They are provided as appendices in the hearing. You'll hear

68
00:11:22,893 --> 00:11:26,630
have the opportunity to hear from each party. As is

69
00:11:26,630 --> 00:11:29,731
required under the act. In the case of the two

70
00:11:29,731 --> 00:11:33,331
school boards, Mr. Frederick Tebow will be presenting. He's the

71
00:11:33,331 --> 00:11:37,051
general manager of planning for the Halton District School board.

72
00:11:37,051 --> 00:11:39,211
In the case of the owner. It will be first,

73
00:11:39,211 --> 00:11:42,291
the owner himself, Mr. Ali Moyer, as well as his

74
00:11:42,291 --> 00:11:46,503
representative, Ms. Stephanie. Fleming. We also have virtually with us

75
00:11:46,503 --> 00:11:51,223
as a resource for Council Constantine Estev Raccos from O'Connor,

76
00:11:51,223 --> 00:11:54,063
McLeod, Hannah. He's in attendance at the request of the

77
00:11:54,063 --> 00:11:56,943
town to provide. Any support council may need as assistant

78
00:11:56,943 --> 00:12:03,781
legislative hearing process. After the submissions, you'll have the opportunity

79
00:12:03,781 --> 00:12:07,421
as council to either dismiss the complaint or to rectify

80
00:12:07,421 --> 00:12:09,621
any error that has been made in the application of

81
00:12:09,621 --> 00:12:15,228
the bylaws of the school board. Note that the language

82
00:12:15,228 --> 00:12:18,068
between the bylaws of the Halton District Catholic School Board

83
00:12:18,068 --> 00:12:20,868
and the public school board is identical relatively in terms

84
00:12:20,868 --> 00:12:24,468
of their bylaws. Therefore, the same decision can be applied

85
00:12:24,468 --> 00:12:28,030
to each. As well. We've provided draft resolutions in the

86
00:12:28,030 --> 00:12:31,270
body of the staff report, one related to dismissing the

87
00:12:31,270 --> 00:12:35,710
complaint and another related to rectifying an error should council

88
00:12:35,710 --> 00:12:39,190
identify one. Those would need to be moved, seconded and

89
00:12:39,190 --> 00:12:43,648
approved by council following the delegations. So with that, if

90
00:12:43,648 --> 00:12:46,088
there's any clarification that would be helpful, I'm. Happy to

91
00:12:46,088 --> 00:12:49,248
provide it. Otherwise, through the chair, we can consider the

92
00:12:49,248 --> 00:12:53,368
opportunity for the delegations. Thank you. Is there any questions

93
00:12:53,368 --> 00:12:57,993
regarding the overview? If not, Mr. Moy could please step

94
00:12:57,993 --> 00:13:02,005
forward. And. Do. He's all virtual.

95
00:13:24,982 --> 00:13:34,957
We're just logging on here. Good evening. The honorable mayor

96
00:13:34,957 --> 00:13:37,317
and members of council. My name is Stephanie Fleming. I'm

97
00:13:37,317 --> 00:13:45,817
appearing. Today on behalf of Mr. Moair. I'm not sure

98
00:13:45,817 --> 00:13:48,817
if Mr. Moer has spoken already. There's a bit of.

99
00:13:48,817 --> 00:13:51,777
A pause there. No, we were just logging on. He

100
00:13:51,777 --> 00:13:56,143
hasn't spoken. Thank you. Mr. Moira, I understood you wanted

101
00:13:56,143 --> 00:14:00,655
to have a few words before we started. Sorry. No,

102
00:14:00,655 --> 00:14:06,970
go ahead. Thank you so much. Thank you. The members

103
00:14:06,970 --> 00:14:09,530
of council and honorable mayor. I'm appearing today on behalf

104
00:14:09,530 --> 00:14:12,530
of Mr. Moayer. Who is the owner of 110 Hesslop

105
00:14:12,530 --> 00:14:17,694
Road he's proposing to construct. A single, basically studio apartment

106
00:14:17,694 --> 00:14:20,214
over top of a detached garage which is present on

107
00:14:20,214 --> 00:14:23,574
his property. It is a residential property, and right now

108
00:14:23,574 --> 00:14:27,922
it has a single family home and the garage. As

109
00:14:27,922 --> 00:14:30,482
you know, as I'm sure you know, the province is

110
00:14:30,482 --> 00:14:36,521
really incentivizing these types of developments. Under the Planning act,

111
00:14:36,521 --> 00:14:38,281
you can have three units as of right on a

112
00:14:38,281 --> 00:14:43,841
residential property there's. Development charges act have exempted these types

113
00:14:43,841 --> 00:14:47,481
of developments. The only thing that hasn't really been clarified

114
00:14:47,481 --> 00:14:53,042
is the Education Act. Under the Education Act. Certain properties

115
00:14:53,042 --> 00:14:55,922
are exempted from these types of development from these types

116
00:14:55,922 --> 00:15:00,746
of development charges. Under the goal of.

117
00:15:06,256 --> 00:15:09,536
The reason these charges are collected, obviously, is to ensure

118
00:15:09,536 --> 00:15:17,556
that. If any, development. If new people move into the

119
00:15:17,556 --> 00:15:21,777
neighborhood. The board has enough money, obviously, to cover any

120
00:15:21,777 --> 00:15:25,097
new students coming into the area. This aim is set

121
00:15:25,097 --> 00:15:29,817
out at section 257 54, one of the Education act,

122
00:15:29,817 --> 00:15:32,537
which states if there's residential development in the area of

123
00:15:32,537 --> 00:15:36,137
jurisdiction of a board that would increase education land costs.

124
00:15:36,137 --> 00:15:38,857
The board may pass bylaws for the imposition of education

125
00:15:38,857 --> 00:15:42,247
development. Charges against land in its area of jurisdiction undergoing

126
00:15:42,247 --> 00:15:48,059
residential or nonresidential development. In this case, apart from anything

127
00:15:48,059 --> 00:15:51,779
else, just the practicality. I cannot see how a single

128
00:15:51,779 --> 00:15:55,339
studio apartment would have any impact on the cost of.

129
00:15:57,453 --> 00:16:01,594
New land for a school board. I've lived in studio

130
00:16:01,594 --> 00:16:04,634
apartments. They are barely comfortable enough for one person to

131
00:16:04,634 --> 00:16:09,996
be quite. Honest. And my client is seeking to build

132
00:16:09,996 --> 00:16:14,196
this modest apartment. The charge against the development charge that

133
00:16:14,196 --> 00:16:16,996
would be levied against him should it be constructed, would

134
00:16:16,996 --> 00:16:26,828
be in total 11,385 dollarsforty $0.03. That?

135
00:16:26,828 --> 00:16:34,679
$66,716.43 from the Halton District School board. And $4,669 from

136
00:16:34,679 --> 00:16:40,431
the Holton Catholic District School board. Big difference in what

137
00:16:40,431 --> 00:16:44,311
the Development Charges act says and what the Education act

138
00:16:44,311 --> 00:16:52,321
says, which exempting types of residential development. Is set out

139
00:16:52,321 --> 00:16:56,241
in a regulation known as Oreg 2098, section three and.

140
00:16:57,850 --> 00:17:00,930
It's then reflected in the Holton District School board bylaws.

141
00:17:02,913 --> 00:17:06,473
This. In our opinion, this proposal would fall under what

142
00:17:06,473 --> 00:17:11,679
we call other residential developments or other residential buildings. They

143
00:17:11,679 --> 00:17:15,664
have two other types of developments. One is. Single detached

144
00:17:15,664 --> 00:17:20,664
residential. The second is semi detached residential. Obviously, as this

145
00:17:20,664 --> 00:17:25,924
is a detached garage, it's. Slightly different. So therefore it

146
00:17:25,924 --> 00:17:30,532
would be other residential buildings. It's our opinion that this

147
00:17:30,532 --> 00:17:34,412
would be another residential building because a single detached garage,

148
00:17:34,412 --> 00:17:37,372
obviously. Can't exist in and of itself. It's an accessory

149
00:17:37,372 --> 00:17:41,572
structure to the main building. Being the single family home.

150
00:17:41,572 --> 00:17:44,772
You cannot have a detached garage just exist in and

151
00:17:44,772 --> 00:17:50,163
of itself. On a residential property. As such, any sort

152
00:17:50,163 --> 00:17:54,623
of Adu must. Be as such, it falls under. We

153
00:17:54,623 --> 00:17:59,663
believe it falls into this category. There are certain restrictions

154
00:17:59,663 --> 00:18:03,817
in this one is that. The additional dwelling unit must

155
00:18:03,817 --> 00:18:08,790
be smaller than any other residential dwelling unit. This is

156
00:18:08,790 --> 00:18:12,070
a studio apartment. The existing dwelling unit is a single

157
00:18:12,070 --> 00:18:15,426
family home. It's going to be much smaller, I would

158
00:18:15,426 --> 00:18:19,561
assume, than the single family home. I'd also note that

159
00:18:19,561 --> 00:18:23,041
the town actually encourages these types of adus on its

160
00:18:23,041 --> 00:18:28,461
own. Website. It mentions them specifically as a good location

161
00:18:28,461 --> 00:18:34,622
for them. The board has raised certain points rejecting our

162
00:18:34,622 --> 00:18:41,566
position. Obviously. They've said, first of all, that the garage

163
00:18:41,566 --> 00:18:44,686
does not exist. My client can assure you. The garage

164
00:18:44,686 --> 00:18:48,107
is in existence now. This is just going to be.

165
00:18:48,107 --> 00:18:51,707
The building permit obviously would require certain changes to that

166
00:18:51,707 --> 00:18:57,390
garage, but. It is currently in existence. And secondly, it

167
00:18:57,390 --> 00:19:01,670
goes back to our position on the garage being an

168
00:19:01,670 --> 00:19:05,935
accessory use to the building. So we do not believe

169
00:19:05,935 --> 00:19:12,916
that. This does fall within this exemption as such. We

170
00:19:12,916 --> 00:19:16,316
respectfully request that the town confirm that this proposal is

171
00:19:16,316 --> 00:19:21,828
exempt. From the education development charges requested or in the

172
00:19:21,828 --> 00:19:26,268
alternative, reconsider the calculations for the property. Thank you very

173
00:19:26,268 --> 00:19:27,788
much for your time tonight, and if you have any

174
00:19:27,788 --> 00:19:31,772
questions, please let us know. Thank you. Presentation. Is there

175
00:19:31,772 --> 00:19:35,356
any questions of the delegation? If not. Thank you, Mr.

176
00:19:35,356 --> 00:19:39,488
Moyer, would you like to make a presentation now? Not.

177
00:19:39,488 --> 00:19:45,107
You know what? He just cover everything? And as she

178
00:19:45,107 --> 00:19:51,264
mentioned, According to the appendix four on page four. Page

179
00:19:51,264 --> 00:19:55,427
four, appendix two. Sorry. You know what? In summary, they

180
00:19:55,427 --> 00:20:01,618
mentioned two main reasons that reject. What exemption? The first

181
00:20:01,618 --> 00:20:06,071
one. They assume the Adu. Will be constructed above the

182
00:20:06,071 --> 00:20:11,552
detached garage. Doesn't qualify as a residential building. And the

183
00:20:11,552 --> 00:20:15,959
second they mentioned, the garage does not exist. Both is

184
00:20:15,959 --> 00:20:19,719
respectfully it secretary, the first one. You know what? As

185
00:20:19,719 --> 00:20:24,179
the all applications submitted to the town of Milton. As

186
00:20:24,179 --> 00:20:29,348
zoning bylaw, pass everything and. The last step, I have

187
00:20:29,348 --> 00:20:32,348
to pay. And you know what the pyramid will issue.

188
00:20:34,125 --> 00:20:37,805
We just submit all drawing and everything, and I'm following.

189
00:20:37,805 --> 00:20:43,928
You know what? The all residential building requirements to have

190
00:20:43,928 --> 00:20:47,408
that, you know, what is sleeping sanitary, cooking facilities and

191
00:20:47,408 --> 00:20:51,848
also following the fire department, fire safety and all building

192
00:20:51,848 --> 00:20:55,488
codes. And also, as you know, that I have to

193
00:20:55,488 --> 00:20:59,808
register the ARU in Milton as well as recently passed.

194
00:20:59,808 --> 00:21:02,219
I'm following. All of them and everything submitted to Tanaf

195
00:21:02,219 --> 00:21:06,350
Milton. And I am exempt from. These development charges by

196
00:21:06,350 --> 00:21:11,357
town of Milton. Technically, this is the residential building. And

197
00:21:11,357 --> 00:21:14,517
the second one, as she mentioned. What the garage is

198
00:21:14,517 --> 00:21:18,134
exist. Why I'm not building the new garage and whatever.

199
00:21:18,134 --> 00:21:20,654
I'm asking for the exemption. Is not for garage. It's

200
00:21:20,654 --> 00:21:27,309
for the Aru on top of that. That's. All our

201
00:21:27,309 --> 00:21:30,429
explanation. Basically. Thank you so much for your time. Thank

202
00:21:30,429 --> 00:21:34,029
you. Presentation. Any questions of Mr. Moya. If not, thank

203
00:21:34,029 --> 00:21:38,629
your presentation and go to the third delegation. Mr. Fred

204
00:21:38,629 --> 00:21:41,509
deebolt from the school board. I understand he's also remote.

205
00:22:09,588 --> 00:22:12,948
Evening, counselors. Can you hear me all right? Yes, you're

206
00:22:12,948 --> 00:22:15,508
fine, thank you. All right. Perfect. Thank you. And thanks

207
00:22:15,508 --> 00:22:19,348
for accommodating us this evening. Virtually a little bit unexpected.

208
00:22:19,348 --> 00:22:21,548
With the snowstorm we got, so I hope you all

209
00:22:21,548 --> 00:22:24,428
made it to council chambers tonight without too much of

210
00:22:24,428 --> 00:22:29,210
an issue. So. I won't take up too much of

211
00:22:29,210 --> 00:22:32,170
your time this evening, and I'll just. Maybe speak to

212
00:22:32,170 --> 00:22:34,450
some of the points that were raised in terms of

213
00:22:34,450 --> 00:22:38,490
why the board had to proceed with the charge as

214
00:22:38,490 --> 00:22:42,773
per. The requirements of as bylaw for both us and

215
00:22:42,773 --> 00:22:45,213
the Hulk and Catholic District School board. So maybe what

216
00:22:45,213 --> 00:22:49,788
I can start with, first and foremost is. Admittedly, there

217
00:22:49,788 --> 00:22:54,198
is a disconnect, I would say, between. The Development Charges

218
00:22:54,198 --> 00:22:57,478
act and the Education act. In terms of the new

219
00:22:57,478 --> 00:22:59,918
legislation that was brought forward by the Province of Ontario

220
00:22:59,918 --> 00:23:04,198
in terms of encouraging intensification. So in 2022, changes were

221
00:23:04,198 --> 00:23:07,438
definitely made to the DC act, which would exempt these

222
00:23:07,438 --> 00:23:11,748
types of units. Unfortunately, The ministry of the province had

223
00:23:11,748 --> 00:23:15,268
yet to proceed with making the necessary changes to the

224
00:23:15,268 --> 00:23:22,315
Education act. Which. Would align. Or. Be in alignment with

225
00:23:22,315 --> 00:23:25,195
the current DC act, so we're hopeful that that will

226
00:23:25,195 --> 00:23:28,195
happen in due course. But at present, where we are

227
00:23:28,195 --> 00:23:32,159
today is where we were pre 2022. So maybe a

228
00:23:32,159 --> 00:23:35,519
few points of clarification on this matter with regards to

229
00:23:35,519 --> 00:23:39,439
the garage and the arguments that are being made. What

230
00:23:39,439 --> 00:23:41,279
I would say is that the intent of the bylaws

231
00:23:41,279 --> 00:23:44,319
that was written and intensive. The legislation as it was

232
00:23:44,319 --> 00:23:51,341
passed back. When. First brought into force was that this

233
00:23:51,341 --> 00:23:55,781
intensification was meant to be applicable to existing residential units.

234
00:23:57,839 --> 00:24:01,119
So an existing residential units, as per the bylaws defined

235
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,159
as a few things we have our single family dwellings

236
00:24:04,159 --> 00:24:07,039
that are detached from other homes. We have our semi

237
00:24:07,039 --> 00:24:12,739
detached or our townhouse. Units, which. Are also considered, and

238
00:24:12,739 --> 00:24:15,019
then other residential buildings, which I think is the argument

239
00:24:15,019 --> 00:24:18,919
that's being made this evening. Those are definitely for different

240
00:24:18,919 --> 00:24:25,675
classification of buildings, such as apartment dwellings. Stack towns. Those

241
00:24:25,675 --> 00:24:29,355
types of units where it's a lot more multifamily or

242
00:24:29,355 --> 00:24:33,033
multi units. That's what was needed to be captured. So

243
00:24:33,033 --> 00:24:35,473
it wasn't meant to be a bylaw that captured all

244
00:24:35,473 --> 00:24:38,073
of those different types of units as more to provide

245
00:24:38,073 --> 00:24:43,350
three different classifications. In order. To be able to easily

246
00:24:43,350 --> 00:24:45,470
prescribe how the charge is to be administered. So for

247
00:24:45,470 --> 00:24:48,909
a single family dwelling in our bylaw. You're allowed to

248
00:24:48,909 --> 00:24:51,349
have up to two units insofar as it's not. Larger

249
00:24:51,349 --> 00:24:55,811
than the primary existing. Residential units, and that's a keyword.

250
00:24:55,811 --> 00:24:58,251
It has to be an existing residential unit. If they're

251
00:24:58,251 --> 00:25:01,691
built at the same time, then both would be chargeable.

252
00:25:01,691 --> 00:25:04,091
But that's. Not the case this evening. And then for

253
00:25:04,091 --> 00:25:07,011
townhouses, it's only one. And as long as it's smaller

254
00:25:07,011 --> 00:25:11,976
than. The existing residential unit, then that would be exempt.

255
00:25:11,976 --> 00:25:17,023
And then the other residential buildings were meant. To. Apply

256
00:25:17,023 --> 00:25:19,183
to all these other types which need to be an

257
00:25:19,183 --> 00:25:24,343
existing building that has existing residential units. Within it. So

258
00:25:24,343 --> 00:25:29,894
that's the key differentiation, which I think. Is being argued

259
00:25:29,894 --> 00:25:33,387
against. So the appellants, and looking at this, is saying

260
00:25:33,387 --> 00:25:38,147
that the garage should be classified as another residential unit,

261
00:25:38,147 --> 00:25:41,875
and I would submit that. Albeit it's an ancillary residential

262
00:25:41,875 --> 00:25:46,797
build to a residential building. It's not an existing residential

263
00:25:46,797 --> 00:25:49,317
units. So the intent of the bylaw is that if

264
00:25:49,317 --> 00:25:53,597
that were, let's say, an existing garage that was detached

265
00:25:53,597 --> 00:25:57,788
with a secondary suite on top. Of it. And there

266
00:25:57,788 --> 00:25:59,708
were another one to be added to it. The now

267
00:25:59,708 --> 00:26:01,548
one could be considered for an exemption. But seeing that

268
00:26:01,548 --> 00:26:05,268
there is no existing residential unit on that detached garage,

269
00:26:06,889 --> 00:26:09,249
Than a charge would be applicable. The other very important

270
00:26:09,249 --> 00:26:11,649
piece in our bylaw is that it makes a distinction

271
00:26:11,649 --> 00:26:16,004
as to. Where this. Additional accessory dwelling unit needs to

272
00:26:16,004 --> 00:26:20,423
be located. So for the legislation which our bylaw is

273
00:26:20,423 --> 00:26:24,143
in conformance with, it needs to be located. Within the

274
00:26:24,143 --> 00:26:28,303
existing building so it can't be detached. Arguably, you can

275
00:26:28,303 --> 00:26:31,743
maybe say that if it was an attached addition to

276
00:26:31,743 --> 00:26:33,743
the building. As long as it's smaller, then it would

277
00:26:33,743 --> 00:26:37,939
be applicable, but. It needs to be either within or

278
00:26:37,939 --> 00:26:40,819
attached to the existing building in this case, because we're

279
00:26:40,819 --> 00:26:44,499
looking at a detached garage which is being proposed to

280
00:26:44,499 --> 00:26:48,299
have an additional unit placed on top. Of it. The

281
00:26:48,299 --> 00:26:51,939
exemption wouldn't apply because technically there are zero existing units

282
00:26:51,939 --> 00:26:56,862
within that detached garage. So maybe apologies on maybe our

283
00:26:56,862 --> 00:27:01,260
misunderstanding. On whether or not the garage was existing at

284
00:27:01,260 --> 00:27:03,140
the time, we were under the impression it would have

285
00:27:03,140 --> 00:27:09,023
to be significantly. Either. We thought that had to be

286
00:27:09,023 --> 00:27:11,903
demolished and then rebuilt to accommodate for the secondary unit,

287
00:27:11,903 --> 00:27:15,063
but it seems like it's more of a major renovation,

288
00:27:15,063 --> 00:27:19,005
but that still doesn't attract the fact that. The detached

289
00:27:19,005 --> 00:27:22,245
garage is still not an existing residential units. A new

290
00:27:22,245 --> 00:27:25,045
unit is being placed within it. And it's not being

291
00:27:25,045 --> 00:27:27,965
counted against the whole of the lot. It's really specific.

292
00:27:27,965 --> 00:27:31,485
To the building itself. So for those reasons above, I'd

293
00:27:31,485 --> 00:27:37,143
submit that. We believe that. The board correctly administered the

294
00:27:37,143 --> 00:27:42,862
charge. And that the complaint should be dismissed. Happy to

295
00:27:42,862 --> 00:27:45,742
take any further questions or clarify any of my statements.

296
00:27:45,742 --> 00:27:48,902
Thank you for your time. Thank you. Delegation, any questions

297
00:27:48,902 --> 00:27:54,491
of the delegation? Council. Thank you so much for your

298
00:27:54,491 --> 00:27:59,581
delegation. I believe you are the director for planning for

299
00:27:59,581 --> 00:28:04,095
the school board. The general manager for the Holton District

300
00:28:04,095 --> 00:28:09,694
School Board. Holden District School Board. Well, I know that.

301
00:28:10,990 --> 00:28:16,771
The issue at hand relates to the school board. And

302
00:28:16,771 --> 00:28:22,112
I appreciate you presenting today. My understanding is that you

303
00:28:22,112 --> 00:28:25,789
do not consider a garage. A family unit, and that

304
00:28:25,789 --> 00:28:30,252
is the premise on which. You are applying the DCs?

305
00:28:32,336 --> 00:28:38,387
That's correct. We're saying that the detached garage. Is not

306
00:28:38,387 --> 00:28:45,668
classified as other residential buildings in our bylaw. It's just

307
00:28:45,668 --> 00:28:49,228
an ancillary use to the existing dwelling, so it doesn't.

308
00:28:49,228 --> 00:28:52,908
Fall under those classifications of where there would be exemptions,

309
00:28:52,908 --> 00:28:57,153
apply for additional units. And even if it were to

310
00:28:57,153 --> 00:29:02,054
be, then the second question is. Well, the existing units

311
00:29:02,054 --> 00:29:04,014
or, sorry, the new unit needs to be smaller than

312
00:29:04,014 --> 00:29:07,614
the existing unit within. That building, not the property, the

313
00:29:07,614 --> 00:29:09,694
building itself, which would be the garage. And seeing that

314
00:29:09,694 --> 00:29:12,974
the garage has no residential unit to it. It's, in

315
00:29:12,974 --> 00:29:15,614
fact, larger than anything that's there. Therefore, the charge again

316
00:29:15,614 --> 00:29:19,134
would apply. So in both cases, I would argue it's

317
00:29:19,134 --> 00:29:22,780
still applicable. Okay. Thank you. I do see there's a

318
00:29:22,780 --> 00:29:27,941
technicality here that's in place. That is definitely being used

319
00:29:27,941 --> 00:29:32,021
as a reason for this. EDC, I get it. But

320
00:29:32,021 --> 00:29:35,867
the town as you know. Does not charge a DC

321
00:29:35,867 --> 00:29:39,707
is on ARU, so it is something that is exclusive

322
00:29:39,707 --> 00:29:44,200
to the school board. Thank you. Any further questions? The

323
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:50,220
delegation. If not, thank you, sir. And I turn it

324
00:29:50,220 --> 00:29:53,580
back to our director of finance to highlight the options.

325
00:29:55,332 --> 00:29:59,836
Thank you. So happy to provide any further clarification or

326
00:29:59,836 --> 00:30:02,716
commentary if it's helpful to council. On page three of

327
00:30:02,716 --> 00:30:05,796
the staff report, which is also page 67 in your

328
00:30:05,796 --> 00:30:11,255
overall agenda. There are two. Different resolutions outlined for council.

329
00:30:11,255 --> 00:30:14,295
The first, if moved and passed by council, would dismiss

330
00:30:14,295 --> 00:30:18,713
the complaint in accordance with the act. The second would

331
00:30:18,713 --> 00:30:21,913
identify that, in council's opinion, an error was made in

332
00:30:21,913 --> 00:30:26,073
the determination and it's a two part resolution, but it

333
00:30:26,073 --> 00:30:29,153
would then identify that the development charge is payable. For

334
00:30:29,153 --> 00:30:33,591
the proposed would be zero. And that language is in

335
00:30:33,591 --> 00:30:35,711
the report for you to review. So again, happy to

336
00:30:35,711 --> 00:30:40,025
provide further clarification as it may be helpful. Councilor Chauner.

337
00:30:43,464 --> 00:30:49,480
Mayor Crannz. Sorry. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This may have

338
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:55,955
been for the first presenter. She requested, I believe. Two

339
00:30:55,955 --> 00:31:00,075
alternatives there it was the second one that I wanted

340
00:31:00,075 --> 00:31:06,617
to question. As to. Really what that really did mean.

341
00:31:06,617 --> 00:31:09,657
First, when I understand very clearly, but the second request

342
00:31:09,657 --> 00:31:11,897
is the one that I'd like a little more clarity

343
00:31:11,897 --> 00:31:16,980
on. Director. I think the mayor may be referring, and

344
00:31:16,980 --> 00:31:20,380
I don't want to necessarily paraphrase but there was an

345
00:31:20,380 --> 00:31:24,580
indication that council would either determine an error or otherwise

346
00:31:24,580 --> 00:31:28,580
remedy something along those lines. Council's role in the hearing

347
00:31:28,580 --> 00:31:32,051
process is. To determine if there was an error in

348
00:31:32,051 --> 00:31:36,465
the application of the existing bylaw. If helpful, for counsel

349
00:31:36,465 --> 00:31:40,385
to get additional clarity directly from the lawyer for the

350
00:31:40,385 --> 00:31:45,033
owner on that point. But depending on the response, it

351
00:31:45,033 --> 00:31:47,793
may be something that we may need Constantine to weigh

352
00:31:47,793 --> 00:31:51,153
in on. As to council's abilities because it is fairly

353
00:31:51,153 --> 00:31:55,192
restrictive in the context of a DC hearing. Any further

354
00:31:55,192 --> 00:31:59,072
merit press? No. Thank you, Councilor Scholner. Thanks, Mr. Chairman.

355
00:32:00,793 --> 00:32:06,648
I'm going to move. Dismissal of the appeal. And. We

356
00:32:06,648 --> 00:32:09,843
really don't have any choice in this matter. If it

357
00:32:09,843 --> 00:32:14,683
were to be appealed. The provincial, existing provincial legislation is

358
00:32:14,683 --> 00:32:19,650
quite clear. And it's very clear in that regard what

359
00:32:19,650 --> 00:32:25,079
council has to do. However. I have a great deal

360
00:32:25,079 --> 00:32:29,215
of sympathy for the applicant. It's unfortunate the Education act

361
00:32:29,215 --> 00:32:33,570
was not updated to reflect. The changes that were made

362
00:32:33,570 --> 00:32:37,938
to the DC act provincially. And so I'm going to

363
00:32:37,938 --> 00:32:43,098
give the clerk a copy of an amended or second

364
00:32:43,098 --> 00:32:47,571
motion. With respect to the matter. The first motion that

365
00:32:47,571 --> 00:32:50,691
has been put forward by staff and their report is

366
00:32:50,691 --> 00:32:54,011
dismissal of the appeal. And I will move that. But

367
00:32:54,011 --> 00:32:57,331
I also think that, quite frankly, this council has a

368
00:32:57,331 --> 00:33:00,411
responsibility to reach out to the premier, the Minister of

369
00:33:00,411 --> 00:33:06,498
Finance and the Minister of Education. To request that they

370
00:33:06,498 --> 00:33:10,168
update the Education act to reflect. The changes that have

371
00:33:10,168 --> 00:33:14,648
been made to education dcs in the Development Charges act

372
00:33:14,648 --> 00:33:20,540
itself, and that would be sent. By copy to Zhamed,

373
00:33:20,540 --> 00:33:23,460
who is our MPP for Milton, as well as the

374
00:33:23,460 --> 00:33:25,780
director. Of education for the Halton District School Board and

375
00:33:25,780 --> 00:33:28,260
the director of education for the Halton Catholic District school

376
00:33:28,260 --> 00:33:30,940
board because at the end of the day, there's only

377
00:33:30,940 --> 00:33:34,381
one place for this matter can be resolved. And that's

378
00:33:34,381 --> 00:33:39,919
at the legislature at Queens Park. It's unfortunate. Might this

379
00:33:39,919 --> 00:33:43,439
person have the opportunity, if the education has passed quickly,

380
00:33:43,439 --> 00:33:49,238
to seek some sort of financial support. For this decision.

381
00:33:49,238 --> 00:33:53,064
It's possible. I don't know. But I don't think we

382
00:33:53,064 --> 00:33:55,904
have much choices to counsel. I think it's fairly clear.

383
00:33:55,904 --> 00:33:58,064
But I think we also have the opportunity to make

384
00:33:58,064 --> 00:34:04,209
the province aware that this is an issue. Especially. Given.

385
00:34:05,592 --> 00:34:08,752
Its interest in accelerating growth. This won't be the first

386
00:34:08,752 --> 00:34:11,983
time this happens in future. There will be other opportunities

387
00:34:11,983 --> 00:34:14,143
that come forward as well. That may be a problem.

388
00:34:14,143 --> 00:34:18,273
It has to be resolved. Thanks, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

389
00:34:18,273 --> 00:34:21,873
I've got a motion that I'll be reading out. Later,

390
00:34:21,873 --> 00:34:27,278
Councilor Marshall. I'm generally aligned with what councilor Chaliner has

391
00:34:27,278 --> 00:34:30,398
said. I would just also suggest that we add something

392
00:34:30,398 --> 00:34:35,118
to ask the province to consider making any changes retroactive

393
00:34:35,118 --> 00:34:40,025
to the date. Of the corresponding legislation. That's from the

394
00:34:40,025 --> 00:34:44,389
Development Charge Act. Thank you. Any other speakers on this

395
00:34:44,389 --> 00:34:49,135
item? If not, I do have a motion moved by

396
00:34:49,135 --> 00:34:52,135
councilor Alley, second by councilor Raquel. Key. It's the item

397
00:34:52,135 --> 00:34:56,575
b and the prevalent motion is and that the education

398
00:34:56,575 --> 00:34:59,815
development charge is payable for the proposed additional residential unit

399
00:34:59,815 --> 00:35:04,335
to be constructed over the detached garage at 110 hesslap

400
00:35:04,335 --> 00:35:07,371
road in the town of Milton should be zero. We

401
00:35:07,371 --> 00:35:10,371
do have a proposed amendment by councilor Chowner to the

402
00:35:10,371 --> 00:35:13,211
mover and secondary is this something that we take as

403
00:35:13,211 --> 00:35:21,676
a friendly amendment. Director. Sorry. Apologies. Can you just repeat

404
00:35:21,676 --> 00:35:23,156
that last part? I want to make sure we're using

405
00:35:23,156 --> 00:35:24,956
the correct motion here. And I thought I heard a

406
00:35:24,956 --> 00:35:28,490
reference to that. The DC should be zero. This is

407
00:35:28,490 --> 00:35:33,913
the written one we have is basically. Item b. Basically,

408
00:35:33,913 --> 00:35:37,113
the education development charge is payable for the proposed additional

409
00:35:37,113 --> 00:35:40,753
dwelling unit to be constructed over the detached garage at

410
00:35:40,753 --> 00:35:43,353
110 Hesselop Road in the town of Milton should be

411
00:35:43,353 --> 00:35:47,193
zero. So, to clarify, I believe the mover was identifying

412
00:35:47,193 --> 00:35:49,673
that we were dismissing the complaint, which would be the

413
00:35:49,673 --> 00:35:54,119
first motion on page three. Those latter two motions, including

414
00:35:54,119 --> 00:35:56,719
what you just read, that's actually if council were to

415
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,159
determine that there was an error made in the application,

416
00:35:59,159 --> 00:36:01,319
so I just want to make sure we're. Working with

417
00:36:01,319 --> 00:36:05,199
the right resolution. Well, I have the first motion that's

418
00:36:05,199 --> 00:36:08,119
on my desk. That the second motion, as councilor Chowner

419
00:36:08,119 --> 00:36:10,959
mentioned, hasn't been seconded yet, so. I'm dealing with one

420
00:36:10,959 --> 00:36:13,073
motion at a time, Councilor Calke. Calkey. Yeah, Mr. Chair,

421
00:36:13,073 --> 00:36:15,313
if I could just provide clarity there. While the discussion

422
00:36:15,313 --> 00:36:17,953
was ongoing over here. We did provide that motion first

423
00:36:17,953 --> 00:36:19,393
there. So if we could deal with that on its

424
00:36:19,393 --> 00:36:22,113
merits. As listed in the report. Then we can proceed

425
00:36:22,113 --> 00:36:23,633
based on how it results in the vote and we'll

426
00:36:23,633 --> 00:36:25,433
make our arguments as to why we believe that's the

427
00:36:25,433 --> 00:36:29,273
correct motion to proceed with. Thanks, Mr. Chair. With the

428
00:36:29,273 --> 00:36:31,993
clerk just because there is a motion that was on

429
00:36:31,993 --> 00:36:32,513
the floor. I thought.

430
00:36:58,597 --> 00:37:00,677
Councillor Ellie. Thank you. As the mover of the First

431
00:37:00,677 --> 00:37:04,157
Amendment, I would like to speak to that amendment, Mr.

432
00:37:04,157 --> 00:37:08,758
Chair. I've heard both sides of the argument in this

433
00:37:08,758 --> 00:37:12,742
meeting. Also the argument that. There is nothing we can

434
00:37:12,742 --> 00:37:15,182
do. And the solution is with the province. Fact of

435
00:37:15,182 --> 00:37:18,144
the matter is. The report is in front of us

436
00:37:18,144 --> 00:37:21,555
right now. The complaint is in front of council right

437
00:37:21,555 --> 00:37:23,675
now. So there is something we can do. We have

438
00:37:23,675 --> 00:37:27,643
two options. Either we dismiss it. Or we do the

439
00:37:27,643 --> 00:37:34,205
right thing. And. Make it easy for our residents to

440
00:37:34,205 --> 00:37:39,924
build. Ar youth. We are a housing supportive council. We

441
00:37:39,924 --> 00:37:43,484
support Aru's and we have gone. To great lengths to

442
00:37:43,484 --> 00:37:47,924
finesse our ArU policy and to that end, to support

443
00:37:47,924 --> 00:37:54,901
housing in our community to support Aru. Without. Affecting. More

444
00:37:54,901 --> 00:37:57,781
green fields. I think this is a great opportunity for

445
00:37:57,781 --> 00:38:04,474
council to reiterate its commitment. To affordable housing, and with

446
00:38:04,474 --> 00:38:09,983
that, I heard the lawyer of the complainant. The lawyer

447
00:38:09,983 --> 00:38:14,503
made complete sense. How can a garage not. Be part

448
00:38:14,503 --> 00:38:18,797
of a house. All of that is just technicalities, and

449
00:38:18,797 --> 00:38:22,717
I see that as a hindrance to anybody wanting to

450
00:38:22,717 --> 00:38:26,117
build an Aru. And when you look at that area,

451
00:38:26,117 --> 00:38:29,277
Hesslop wrote, everything is built out. This is the only

452
00:38:29,277 --> 00:38:33,077
way we can add more affordable units there. And so

453
00:38:33,077 --> 00:38:36,771
with that, I have put forward this amendment. I think

454
00:38:36,771 --> 00:38:42,145
the edc being proposed. On this resident is unfair. It

455
00:38:42,145 --> 00:38:46,625
is using a technicality to charge him unfairly because the

456
00:38:46,625 --> 00:38:49,705
town is not collecting any dcs on ARu to begin

457
00:38:49,705 --> 00:38:54,185
with. And the financial part implications of this report tells

458
00:38:54,185 --> 00:38:57,105
me that there are no financial implications to the town

459
00:38:57,105 --> 00:39:02,137
of Milton either ways, and so with that. I would

460
00:39:02,137 --> 00:39:05,177
definitely side with the resident who I do believe has

461
00:39:05,177 --> 00:39:10,859
been charged erroneously. Thank you. Councilor calcut is the second.

462
00:39:10,859 --> 00:39:14,766
Thanks, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair. I just want to reference

463
00:39:14,766 --> 00:39:16,606
to council that all of the work that council has

464
00:39:16,606 --> 00:39:19,246
been doing in relation to Aru's and one of the

465
00:39:19,246 --> 00:39:22,846
examples that was depicted in staff's work on the ARU

466
00:39:22,846 --> 00:39:27,126
file includes detached error use air use that are constructed,

467
00:39:27,126 --> 00:39:30,606
permitted, approved by the town that are not attached to

468
00:39:30,606 --> 00:39:34,657
a residential unit, a granny suite, for example. Or built

469
00:39:34,657 --> 00:39:38,057
as their own independent unit without being physically attached. So

470
00:39:38,057 --> 00:39:41,377
in the case made by the education board in relation

471
00:39:41,377 --> 00:39:44,937
to this, not qualifying as that. That actually contradicts what

472
00:39:44,937 --> 00:39:50,017
our ARU policies in Milton actually stipulate. So an ARU

473
00:39:50,017 --> 00:39:53,617
in Milton can be an independent unit that's not attached.

474
00:39:54,378 --> 00:39:59,221
Physically. To a residence as indicated by. The education board.

475
00:40:01,029 --> 00:40:03,029
What I also want to say here is that the

476
00:40:03,029 --> 00:40:06,829
public hearing today is an opportunity. If an error was

477
00:40:06,829 --> 00:40:08,709
made for us to decide as counsel what the right

478
00:40:08,709 --> 00:40:11,069
thing to do is, and I think a reasonable inference

479
00:40:11,069 --> 00:40:14,589
can be made here. That if the town of Milton,

480
00:40:14,589 --> 00:40:17,229
we already know the legislation provincially tells us that we

481
00:40:17,229 --> 00:40:20,749
cannot. Apply dcs at the town level to air use.

482
00:40:20,749 --> 00:40:22,469
The inference that can be made is that when the

483
00:40:22,469 --> 00:40:25,309
province comes down to making the necessary changes in the

484
00:40:25,309 --> 00:40:28,069
Education act that they're probably going to align with what

485
00:40:28,069 --> 00:40:32,389
municipalities are required or not required charge in this case

486
00:40:32,389 --> 00:40:35,046
as well. So. What I'm trying to say is that

487
00:40:35,046 --> 00:40:37,086
the Education act is likely going to be amended. At

488
00:40:37,086 --> 00:40:39,966
a future time to match what the planning act says

489
00:40:39,966 --> 00:40:42,646
in terms of collection of dcs and I do think

490
00:40:42,646 --> 00:40:45,184
that in this case, That's a lot of money that's

491
00:40:45,184 --> 00:40:47,024
going to be charged to this resident if that were

492
00:40:47,024 --> 00:40:49,944
to be approved, which we can probably all likely infer

493
00:40:49,944 --> 00:40:53,504
that at some point down the line. Those fees aren't

494
00:40:53,504 --> 00:40:55,584
going to be in place for this type of situation

495
00:40:55,584 --> 00:40:58,957
that the resident is in. And it's on town and

496
00:40:58,957 --> 00:41:02,517
Milton website. Like I said, a detached Aru doesn't. Necessarily

497
00:41:02,517 --> 00:41:05,397
need to be attached to a residence. It's in the

498
00:41:05,397 --> 00:41:07,517
name itself. It can be a granny suite. It can

499
00:41:07,517 --> 00:41:11,597
be something that's not physically conjoined to the residential property

500
00:41:11,597 --> 00:41:15,277
therefore qualifies as an Aru or an adu therefore exempt

501
00:41:15,277 --> 00:41:18,117
from dcs. At the town level, and in this case,

502
00:41:18,117 --> 00:41:22,265
because. The Education act hasn't been updated yet. It isn't

503
00:41:22,265 --> 00:41:24,745
applicable at that level, but it will be at a

504
00:41:24,745 --> 00:41:26,985
future time, most likely. Is what I believe. So I

505
00:41:26,985 --> 00:41:33,144
do believe that. This complaint should be dismissed and dismissed

506
00:41:33,144 --> 00:41:35,864
in the sense that there shouldn't be any charges. Applied

507
00:41:35,864 --> 00:41:38,584
to the resident that's making the complaint in this matter.

508
00:41:38,584 --> 00:41:47,385
Thanks, Mr. Chair. Councilor Chowner. It's very clear. This is

509
00:41:47,385 --> 00:41:50,625
a technical legal point. That's why we're here. I don't.

510
00:41:50,625 --> 00:41:55,533
Disagree with the comments that have been made. About. What

511
00:41:55,533 --> 00:41:58,933
the town's policy is and what the development charges policy

512
00:41:58,933 --> 00:42:02,711
is today. That's all very true, but if this goes

513
00:42:02,711 --> 00:42:08,793
before the Ontario Land Tribunal, Then the education system is

514
00:42:08,793 --> 00:42:11,353
going to carry the day, because that's what the act

515
00:42:11,353 --> 00:42:14,433
says. And the land tribunal will obviously have to follow

516
00:42:14,433 --> 00:42:18,193
what is provincial legislation today. We don't. Have any idea

517
00:42:18,193 --> 00:42:21,113
if the Education act is going to be revised as

518
00:42:21,113 --> 00:42:24,713
it should be there's? Been no indication of that. That's

519
00:42:24,713 --> 00:42:27,775
why. I've brought forward a separate motion to deal with

520
00:42:27,775 --> 00:42:32,100
that, and I, by the way, agree. With councilor Marshall's

521
00:42:32,100 --> 00:42:36,820
addition of making the situation retroactive, I think that's. A

522
00:42:36,820 --> 00:42:40,961
smart thing to do. But as much as I have

523
00:42:40,961 --> 00:42:47,506
great sympathy for the applicant, We can't move forward. With

524
00:42:47,506 --> 00:42:51,610
the decision we'd like to make because. It's not. Really

525
00:42:51,610 --> 00:42:55,597
legal. The education act says today what it says. We

526
00:42:55,597 --> 00:42:59,691
all know what it says. And it unfortunately hasn't been

527
00:42:59,691 --> 00:43:04,534
updated. It needs to be, and until such time. We

528
00:43:04,534 --> 00:43:07,294
have to follow what it states. That is the law

529
00:43:07,294 --> 00:43:12,527
today. Thank you, Councilor Marshall. My comments are very similar

530
00:43:12,527 --> 00:43:14,687
to what councilor Chauner has just said. I do have

531
00:43:14,687 --> 00:43:17,167
a lot of sympathy for the position that the complainant

532
00:43:17,167 --> 00:43:21,812
is in. I think trying to get something retroactive in

533
00:43:21,812 --> 00:43:29,152
effect. Is their best way. To try and get compensated

534
00:43:29,152 --> 00:43:32,884
for being caught in a bad spot. With respect to

535
00:43:32,884 --> 00:43:36,770
these development charges. But on my reading and my understanding

536
00:43:36,770 --> 00:43:39,410
of what we're able to do, we can look to

537
00:43:39,410 --> 00:43:43,412
see if there's an error in the application. And so

538
00:43:43,412 --> 00:43:47,212
that language is very clear. It's not an error in

539
00:43:47,212 --> 00:43:50,732
the sense that we don't like what's happening because of

540
00:43:50,732 --> 00:43:54,532
our own town bylaws. And what? We understand the direction

541
00:43:54,532 --> 00:43:56,372
from the province to be. We have to look at

542
00:43:56,372 --> 00:44:02,332
the language that is in the applicable bylaw and legislation,

543
00:44:02,332 --> 00:44:06,063
and we need to. Apply the facts to those bylaws

544
00:44:06,063 --> 00:44:11,398
and legislation. And unfortunately, I don't see how we can

545
00:44:11,398 --> 00:44:15,139
raise compassionate grounds as I would love to. In this

546
00:44:15,139 --> 00:44:19,866
instance, it's simply just not. There. Thank you. Is there

547
00:44:19,866 --> 00:44:23,266
any other speakers on this motion? Councilor Kelkie and Mr.

548
00:44:23,266 --> 00:44:26,306
Cheryl. Just add before the votes called here, that if

549
00:44:26,306 --> 00:44:28,226
the prerogative of the school board is to take it

550
00:44:28,226 --> 00:44:31,706
to the Ontario Land Tribunal for further consideration, then that's

551
00:44:31,706 --> 00:44:34,026
on them to do. Maybe that'll help them at the

552
00:44:34,026 --> 00:44:37,103
provincial level, understand? Where the challenge lies. Here, too, we

553
00:44:37,103 --> 00:44:39,743
can do the advocacy piece like councilor Chowder mentioned. Earlier

554
00:44:39,743 --> 00:44:43,741
as well when he spoke. But again, I think the

555
00:44:43,741 --> 00:44:47,181
logical inference that can be made here is that eventually

556
00:44:47,181 --> 00:44:50,381
the education act will be amended to reflect the consistency

557
00:44:50,381 --> 00:44:53,341
we see at the municipal level, at the provincial level,

558
00:44:53,341 --> 00:44:56,539
under the planning Act. So it may not necessarily be

559
00:44:56,539 --> 00:44:58,619
an error in terms of what it is, and that's

560
00:44:58,619 --> 00:45:02,059
just semantics, in my opinion. There, in the wording of

561
00:45:02,059 --> 00:45:06,053
that resolution. But at the end of the day, the

562
00:45:06,053 --> 00:45:09,653
likelihood of this being amended provincially under the education act

563
00:45:09,653 --> 00:45:12,493
to reflect what we do municipally is going to be

564
00:45:12,493 --> 00:45:15,213
identical at some point down the future. It's $11,000 for

565
00:45:15,213 --> 00:45:17,333
a resident who's trying to help trade. Housing in our

566
00:45:17,333 --> 00:45:19,693
community. I think that also needs to be considered on

567
00:45:19,693 --> 00:45:22,373
its merits as well. Let the education board. Go to

568
00:45:22,373 --> 00:45:24,642
the OLT is what I'm trying to say. They can

569
00:45:24,642 --> 00:45:27,802
deal with that at that point. So I'll just conclude

570
00:45:27,802 --> 00:45:33,536
there. Thanks. Thank you. And just getting clarification on councilor

571
00:45:33,536 --> 00:45:37,056
Chowner's proposed amendment to the mover. And secretary, will you

572
00:45:37,056 --> 00:45:38,896
be willing to accept this as a friendly amendment, or

573
00:45:38,896 --> 00:45:41,937
do you want to vote on it separately. We will

574
00:45:41,937 --> 00:45:45,457
vote on it separately because that amendment actually cancels out

575
00:45:45,457 --> 00:45:49,811
the other option that we are going with. Okay, I'll

576
00:45:49,811 --> 00:45:59,483
get the clerk's advice on this. Justice Councilor Chowner, on

577
00:45:59,483 --> 00:46:02,243
this amendment that you proposed, did you want this and

578
00:46:02,243 --> 00:46:05,203
included with councilor Ali's and Kelsey's, or do you want

579
00:46:05,203 --> 00:46:07,923
us a separate? No, it's separate. It goes with the

580
00:46:07,923 --> 00:46:17,012
dismissal. We're voting strictly on what they're proposing, and then

581
00:46:17,012 --> 00:46:21,924
when we vote, On the dismissal of the appeal, then

582
00:46:21,924 --> 00:46:25,324
we can add that to that, and it'll need to

583
00:46:25,324 --> 00:46:29,084
be revised to reflect councilor Marshall's quite valid suggestion that.

584
00:46:30,742 --> 00:46:33,902
The Education act, when it is revised, be retroactive to

585
00:46:33,902 --> 00:46:35,942
the changes that were made in the Development charges act

586
00:46:35,942 --> 00:46:41,324
with respect to ad use. Thanks. Thank you. To the

587
00:46:41,324 --> 00:46:49,306
work clerks. Are you clear on that now? Okay. The

588
00:46:49,306 --> 00:46:53,466
motion again. Just verbally. Information is in your package. It's

589
00:46:53,466 --> 00:46:56,346
been moved by councilor. Ali, seconded by councilor Kelkey. I'm

590
00:46:56,346 --> 00:46:58,810
not going to read the whole thing. As main thing.

591
00:46:58,810 --> 00:47:02,690
Point is that the fee should be zero. Any questions?

592
00:47:02,690 --> 00:47:06,930
The motion I've been requested a recorded vote by councilor

593
00:47:06,930 --> 00:47:11,575
Ali. All those in favor, please stand. Thank you. I'm

594
00:47:11,575 --> 00:47:18,814
noting councilor Ali and councilor Culky in favor. All those

595
00:47:18,814 --> 00:47:28,627
opposed? I'm noting mayor Krantz, councilor

596
00:47:28,627 --> 00:47:32,587
Chowner, councilor Marshall, councilor Malbuff. Councilor Menococcus and councilor best.

597
00:47:36,140 --> 00:47:40,725
Okay, getting to the second motion, which. Was item a

598
00:47:40,725 --> 00:47:44,285
under items there. That's moved by councilor chauner. I need.

599
00:47:44,285 --> 00:47:53,976
A seconder on this item, Councilor Marshall. And for

600
00:47:53,976 --> 00:47:56,936
everybody's information, that the motion is that after consideration, the

601
00:47:56,936 --> 00:47:59,936
submissions of the parties in relation to complaint pertaining to

602
00:47:59,936 --> 00:48:03,376
the education development. Charges are 110 La Hesselop Road. The

603
00:48:03,376 --> 00:48:06,176
Council of Corporation of the town of Milton hereby dismisses

604
00:48:06,176 --> 00:48:09,976
the complaint. In accordance the Education Act RSO 1990 e

605
00:48:09,976 --> 00:48:15,723
two. And councilor Shawner. You want that addition to the

606
00:48:15,723 --> 00:48:17,923
amended to it? Yeah, it could be. The second paragraph.

607
00:48:19,311 --> 00:48:22,886
Unless. The treasurer would like to have that as a

608
00:48:22,886 --> 00:48:27,290
separate motion. It's up to him. They can go together.

609
00:48:27,290 --> 00:48:32,450
There's no concern from staff perspective on that. I asked

610
00:48:32,450 --> 00:48:36,050
the clerk to read out the amendment. Thank you. That

611
00:48:36,050 --> 00:48:38,650
the mayor be directed to correspond. With the premier, the

612
00:48:38,650 --> 00:48:42,050
Minister of Education, the Minister of Finance to update the

613
00:48:42,050 --> 00:48:49,333
Education Act. To reflect the development. Charges acts need for

614
00:48:49,333 --> 00:48:57,979
update regarding. Development charges payable and that this motion. Be

615
00:48:57,979 --> 00:49:03,053
forwarded. To mpp z. Hamid, the director of education for

616
00:49:03,053 --> 00:49:07,453
the holton district school board. The director of the halton

617
00:49:07,453 --> 00:49:11,524
catholic district school board. And then if I could just

618
00:49:11,524 --> 00:49:16,503
get clarification on the additional paragraph. Yeah. So the only

619
00:49:16,503 --> 00:49:18,263
thing I would add to that is council Marshall raised

620
00:49:18,263 --> 00:49:24,493
an important point about it being retroactive? And so. It's

621
00:49:24,493 --> 00:49:28,333
the education related dcs and the Development Charges act that

622
00:49:28,333 --> 00:49:35,542
have to be updated. So the Education Act. And that

623
00:49:35,542 --> 00:49:43,828
should be retroactive. To. The. Day that the Development Charges

624
00:49:43,828 --> 00:49:53,104
act was revised to reflect. Adu aru legislation. So that

625
00:49:53,104 --> 00:50:00,373
would enable this individual to seek remedy. At some point

626
00:50:00,373 --> 00:50:02,373
in the future if he decides to go ahead with

627
00:50:02,373 --> 00:50:07,335
his application. Okay? Are you clear on that? Any questions

628
00:50:07,335 --> 00:50:12,630
to the amendment? Councilor Calkey. Yeah, Mr. Chair, I do

629
00:50:12,630 --> 00:50:14,950
agree with that part of that amendment that was added

630
00:50:14,950 --> 00:50:17,190
there. I don't know what that looks like for voting,

631
00:50:17,190 --> 00:50:19,190
but is there a way to separate that because I'm

632
00:50:19,190 --> 00:50:23,185
supportive of that. Yeah, we can separate the main motion

633
00:50:23,185 --> 00:50:25,865
from the amendment. So on the amendment first, all those

634
00:50:25,865 --> 00:50:30,867
in favor. Motions carried on the main motion. All those

635
00:50:30,867 --> 00:50:39,004
in favor? Those opposed secured. And that's included the addition

636
00:50:39,004 --> 00:50:45,270
of councilor chowdering, Councilor Marshall. Okay, moving on. Item 7.1,

637
00:50:45,270 --> 00:50:50,118
public meeting. Initial report. Do you want to highlight this

638
00:50:50,118 --> 00:51:00,073
clerk? Okay, so this public meeting is with

those cozy at home. I'm Constance rattel from cortiac urban

655
00:51:57,966 --> 00:52:00,726
planning here on behalf of Madame Holmes to discuss the

656
00:52:00,726 --> 00:52:04,446
proposed site specific official plan and zoning bylaw amendments in

657
00:52:04,446 --> 00:52:09,893
the Milton Education village. This application relates to the Madamian

658
00:52:09,893 --> 00:52:14,773
Conestoga lands about 96 acres west of Tremaine. Straddling Louis

659
00:52:14,773 --> 00:52:20,938
St. Laurent. I'm going to breathe through the next few

660
00:52:20,938 --> 00:52:23,458
slides as a real action happens at the secondary plan

661
00:52:23,458 --> 00:52:27,818
level. These lands are designated urban area in the Halton

662
00:52:27,818 --> 00:52:32,839
official plan. And sustainable Halton plan growth area in the

663
00:52:32,839 --> 00:52:35,559
town of Milton. Official plan which lands them in the

664
00:52:35,559 --> 00:52:40,862
Milton Education Village secondary plan area. Minister's zoning order is

665
00:52:40,862 --> 00:52:44,342
in effect for the area shown, meaning that this area

666
00:52:44,342 --> 00:52:50,020
has its own. Milton Education village specific zones in place.

667
00:52:51,621 --> 00:52:55,621
Those are high density residential, two innovation district institutional campus

668
00:52:55,621 --> 00:53:00,098
and medium density residential, two. The mzoto has been in

669
00:53:00,098 --> 00:53:06,419
place for five years and. Now that the applicants develop

670
00:53:06,419 --> 00:53:08,459
concepts for the blocks, we know a little bit more

671
00:53:08,459 --> 00:53:13,642
about them than in 2021. Medium and high residential developments

672
00:53:13,642 --> 00:53:17,482
are proposed within those medium and high density zones and

673
00:53:17,482 --> 00:53:22,381
institutional campus. The innovation district, mixed use continues to be

674
00:53:22,381 --> 00:53:24,781
proposed for a dense mix of uses along Louis St.

675
00:53:24,781 --> 00:53:30,350
Laurent. The secondary plan designates the area's innovation neighborhood, innovation

676
00:53:30,350 --> 00:53:34,870
hub, village center, landmark gateway high density residential and medium

677
00:53:34,870 --> 00:53:42,399
density residential. Two. The proposed amendments raise the limits on

678
00:53:42,399 --> 00:53:45,439
rear lane and back to back townhost dwellings in the

679
00:53:45,439 --> 00:53:49,159
medium and high density designations to 50% of the unit

680
00:53:49,159 --> 00:53:52,879
count, while those designations still maintain their minimum density requirements.

681
00:53:55,613 --> 00:54:00,813
It also broadens the nonresidential opportunities here. In line with

682
00:54:00,813 --> 00:54:05,855
those recent changes. The province made to redefine employment area.

683
00:54:07,627 --> 00:54:12,027
It replaces employment with office, retail and commercial. Within those

684
00:54:12,027 --> 00:54:17,047
policies, We are adding in permissions for a standalone grocery

685
00:54:17,047 --> 00:54:19,887
store to serve the first phases of development. While that

686
00:54:19,887 --> 00:54:24,607
village center corps builds out. Staff also suggested some active

687
00:54:24,607 --> 00:54:29,007
frontage protections for Louis St. Laurent to ensure the mixed

688
00:54:29,007 --> 00:54:35,214
use nature carries through to development. The MZO zones are

689
00:54:35,214 --> 00:54:38,014
likewise being revised to accommodate the same changes and some

690
00:54:38,014 --> 00:54:44,217
provisions to align. With recent housekeeping amendments. The proposed changes

691
00:54:44,217 --> 00:54:47,457
are consistent with the provincial mandate, continue to generally conform

692
00:54:47,457 --> 00:54:50,497
with the designations with the modifications, of course, that we've

693
00:54:50,497 --> 00:54:57,258
proposed. To allow for the proposed development. The changes expand

694
00:54:57,258 --> 00:55:01,098
the flexibility for attached dwelling types outside of the core

695
00:55:01,098 --> 00:55:05,851
and nonresidential opportunities within it. I've noted here our contact

696
00:55:05,851 --> 00:55:09,491
information if any questions arise following the meeting. But I

697
00:55:09,491 --> 00:55:12,931
look forward to hearing any comments from the residents here

698
00:55:12,931 --> 00:55:17,421
tonight or online. Thank you very much. Do you have

699
00:55:17,421 --> 00:55:21,021
some questions for you, Councilor Ali? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

700
00:55:21,021 --> 00:55:24,914
Through you. Thank you. For your presentation. Obviously, this makes

701
00:55:24,914 --> 00:55:27,834
all of us who live around that area very excited.

702
00:55:27,834 --> 00:55:30,954
Finally, we're seeing a site plan in place. We are

703
00:55:30,954 --> 00:55:33,957
seeing what it's going to look like. I'm sure down

704
00:55:33,957 --> 00:55:35,957
the line you might be able to provide us some

705
00:55:35,957 --> 00:55:40,477
3d renditions. Of that area, if that's possible at all.

706
00:55:40,477 --> 00:55:42,997
But one question I had, and this is because the

707
00:55:42,997 --> 00:55:46,157
community is really excited to see the word standalone grocery

708
00:55:46,157 --> 00:55:50,477
store. Any idea. What that would look like. Would you

709
00:55:50,477 --> 00:55:54,107
be able to share some more details? We don't have

710
00:55:54,107 --> 00:55:58,747
details yet, unfortunately, but with staff, we're looking at making

711
00:55:58,747 --> 00:56:02,782
sure that. There's some design guidelines in place to make

712
00:56:02,782 --> 00:56:06,478
sure it's still somewhat of an urban format. Working with

713
00:56:06,478 --> 00:56:10,170
that area. So it might look a little different than

714
00:56:10,170 --> 00:56:16,214
a typical one. To fit that context. But it's also

715
00:56:16,214 --> 00:56:18,254
really exciting looking at a map of where the next

716
00:56:18,254 --> 00:56:20,974
nearest grocery store is this would be really important to

717
00:56:20,974 --> 00:56:24,214
the future residents. Absolutely. There's nothing in that area. And

718
00:56:24,214 --> 00:56:26,414
so something that we are very excited to welcome in

719
00:56:26,414 --> 00:56:30,942
our community. And so on that note, when can we

720
00:56:30,942 --> 00:56:33,182
expect shovels in the ground? The community is waiting. With

721
00:56:33,182 --> 00:56:36,965
a baited breath there. So there's a few moving parts

722
00:56:36,965 --> 00:56:43,740
right now, of course. So. We're looking forward to having

723
00:56:43,740 --> 00:56:48,728
this zoning and Opa approved. Ideally in June. And then

724
00:56:48,728 --> 00:56:52,288
following that, we're going to have site plan applications for

725
00:56:52,288 --> 00:56:57,829
sales. Office for those initial residential blocks. Likely late summer,

726
00:56:57,829 --> 00:57:00,869
early fall for those site plans to come in, they're

727
00:57:00,869 --> 00:57:05,985
looking at starting construction in October. 2000 and 827 for

728
00:57:05,985 --> 00:57:10,185
first occupancy is in April. 2028, I believe. Perfect. Thank

729
00:57:10,185 --> 00:57:14,585
you, councilor chowner. Thanks, Mr. Chairman. Through you to the.

730
00:57:16,588 --> 00:57:22,543
Delegate. I noticed going through the report. The footprint. Are

731
00:57:22,543 --> 00:57:25,023
smaller for the units as well as for common space.

732
00:57:26,895 --> 00:57:31,694
Than what is currently. Permitted. What's the reason for that?

733
00:57:34,012 --> 00:57:37,372
The 4 meters squared. I presume you're talking about there

734
00:57:37,372 --> 00:57:40,132
for the amenity area. That's to be consistent with what

735
00:57:40,132 --> 00:57:46,151
is required currently by. The Milton zoning bylaw for the

736
00:57:46,151 --> 00:57:49,751
mixed use zones. That requirement is there for 4 m²,

737
00:57:49,751 --> 00:57:52,711
so it's to bring it into sort of consistency with

738
00:57:52,711 --> 00:57:55,031
the rest of the developments that are going on in

739
00:57:55,031 --> 00:57:58,511
Milton for a mixed use format. What about the units

740
00:57:58,511 --> 00:58:07,455
themselves? I'm not familiar exactly. With the provision for that.

741
00:58:08,807 --> 00:58:10,287
Let me just catch myself up here.

742
00:58:22,664 --> 00:58:31,890
Oh, so that's a unit count proportion basis. For the

743
00:58:31,890 --> 00:58:37,156
blocks, so that's just raising. The maximum cap on that

744
00:58:37,156 --> 00:58:40,516
ground related attached product in the blocks is that the

745
00:58:40,516 --> 00:58:46,412
provision that 50% is at the. Okay, so. It doesn't

746
00:58:46,412 --> 00:58:50,831
relate to unit sizes. It's on those medium density blocks.

747
00:58:50,831 --> 00:58:52,871
Up to 50% of the unit count would be. Permitted

748
00:58:52,871 --> 00:58:57,591
to be multiple attached dwelling form rather than apartments, whereas

749
00:58:57,591 --> 00:59:02,532
right now the Mzoto allows for 30%. We're raising that

750
00:59:02,532 --> 00:59:06,632
to 50% to allow for more flexibility. For those. Sorry,

751
00:59:06,632 --> 00:59:09,752
that's my usual timer to turn my kids screen time

752
00:59:09,752 --> 00:59:14,905
off. So, yeah, we're looking to just provide more flexibility.

753
00:59:17,294 --> 00:59:22,806
For family size dwellings. In those, in those walks. And

754
00:59:22,806 --> 00:59:26,286
again, those are outside of that village center core. Those

755
00:59:26,286 --> 00:59:30,394
relate. To the medium and high density blocks to the

756
00:59:30,394 --> 00:59:34,314
north and south of that. Okay, thank you. Any other

757
00:59:34,314 --> 00:59:38,114
questions of the delegation. Councilli. Second time speaker. I'm so

758
00:59:38,114 --> 00:59:40,594
sorry. I should have included. My first question by councilor

759
00:59:40,594 --> 00:59:43,274
Chalner's question actually reminded me that this is something I

760
00:59:43,274 --> 00:59:46,754
wanted to talk about. I do see that you have

761
00:59:46,754 --> 00:59:50,121
a block 14. Which is a park, and it is

762
00:59:50,121 --> 00:59:56,759
zero point 46. And however, block 15 is zero point

763
00:59:56,759 --> 01:00:00,839
91. Ha. So double in size. What is the reason

764
01:00:00,839 --> 01:00:05,149
for this. Why aren't they equal? So that is part

765
01:00:05,149 --> 01:00:09,389
of the draft plan application. So not specifically this rezoning

766
01:00:09,389 --> 01:00:14,494
and OPA. We can definitely address that with staff through

767
01:00:14,494 --> 01:00:18,574
processing that draft plan of subdivision, but there's been lots

768
01:00:18,574 --> 01:00:22,333
of work. With the park staff to arrange sort of

769
01:00:22,333 --> 01:00:27,086
a variety of open spaces through the MEV. A hierarchy.

770
01:00:28,985 --> 01:00:34,270
And. Just some. Connected green spaces of different sizes. So.

771
01:00:35,271 --> 01:00:36,431
They'll be able to explore that more of the draft

772
01:00:36,431 --> 01:00:40,431
plan level and happy to continue. That conversation with them.

773
01:00:40,431 --> 01:00:44,219
Perfect. I mean, as the area councilor, myself, councilor Marshall,

774
01:00:44,219 --> 01:00:46,459
and of course, our mayor Krantz. We'd like to be

775
01:00:46,459 --> 01:00:49,659
involved in discussion on how we definitely see the built

776
01:00:49,659 --> 01:00:53,188
out picture of this area. We're hoping to welcome a

777
01:00:53,188 --> 01:00:55,148
lot of students in that area, so it needs to

778
01:00:55,148 --> 01:00:58,415
be very walkable. There needs to be green spaces where

779
01:00:58,415 --> 01:01:02,150
students can sit down and gather. And many more things,

780
01:01:02,150 --> 01:01:05,670
many ideas. As a mother of young children who go

781
01:01:05,670 --> 01:01:09,270
to universities myself, I have so many ideas for you,

782
01:01:09,270 --> 01:01:13,211
and so does my colleague, Councilor Marshall. And we'd love

783
01:01:13,211 --> 01:01:16,971
to stay connected with you. Thank you. Thanks very much.

784
01:01:16,971 --> 01:01:20,331
Any other questions? Delegation. If not, thank you for your

785
01:01:20,331 --> 01:01:24,411
presentation. Now open it to the public. Are there anyone

786
01:01:24,411 --> 01:01:27,831
in? The audience wishing to speak to this item. Going

787
01:01:27,831 --> 01:01:34,274
a second time. Anyone online? No. For a third time.

788
01:01:34,274 --> 01:01:38,320
Is anyone wishing to speak on this item? Going? Gone.

789
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,040
I read the motion here. It's moved by councilor Chalner,

790
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:45,480
second. By councilor Malbouth. The development services report DS 626

791
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:49,080
be received for information and he questions the motion. If

792
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:53,082
not, all those in favor? All those opposed motions carried.

793
01:01:54,711 --> 01:01:57,871
Moving on to item number 7.2, public meeting and initial

794
01:01:57,871 --> 01:02:05,330
report. For the Robert Russell planning consultants. And also we

795
01:02:05,330 --> 01:02:14,830
have the applicant to present. Sir. Just been reminded by

796
01:02:14,830 --> 01:02:18,110
the clerk. If you just have your identification and contact

797
01:02:18,110 --> 01:02:18,150
information.

798
01:02:28,743 --> 01:02:29,663
Thank you. Have you want to present.

799
01:02:40,219 --> 01:02:47,471
Yeah. I'm the authorized agent on behalf of Ar land

800
01:02:47,471 --> 01:02:52,994
holdings for the proposed zoning bylaw. Amendment Z 20. Five.

801
01:02:52,994 --> 01:02:58,508
Next slide, please. I have the control. I forgot to

802
01:02:58,508 --> 01:03:02,734
put that. I'll keep this presentation brief. It's a fairly

803
01:03:02,734 --> 01:03:06,974
simple application. Here's the site context highlighted in the Magenta

804
01:03:06,974 --> 01:03:10,614
right in the middle there within the 401 industrial employment

805
01:03:10,614 --> 01:03:14,214
area. Business park. I don't have the actual official plan

806
01:03:14,214 --> 01:03:17,666
designation I'll put on my screen right? Now. So excuse

807
01:03:17,666 --> 01:03:21,466
the mislabeling of it, but you can see this area,

808
01:03:21,466 --> 01:03:25,026
as you know. Is already heavily developed for employment uses,

809
01:03:25,026 --> 01:03:27,226
and this property is really right in the middle of

810
01:03:27,226 --> 01:03:31,048
the secondary plan area. A close up aerial view showing.

811
01:03:32,512 --> 01:03:35,152
The site. This used to be the Salvation Army Community

812
01:03:35,152 --> 01:03:38,912
church. It was sold then to my client. My client

813
01:03:38,912 --> 01:03:41,512
also operates a trucking company on the adjacent property to.

814
01:03:43,596 --> 01:03:44,636
The south east of that. And you can see that

815
01:03:44,636 --> 01:03:48,354
on the screen right there. The conceptual site plan is

816
01:03:48,354 --> 01:03:55,074
here. They're proposing to retain the existing building. They're going

817
01:03:55,074 --> 01:03:58,994
to use it for administration. Type purposes and then construct

818
01:03:58,994 --> 01:04:02,754
truck parking area for their transportation terminal at the back.

819
01:04:02,754 --> 01:04:08,175
The site is about 1.93. Ha. The current concept plan.

820
01:04:09,951 --> 01:04:13,271
Shows room for 75 trailers. It includes that we'll have

821
01:04:13,271 --> 01:04:18,294
landscape open space of. More than 15%, which greatly exceeds

822
01:04:18,294 --> 01:04:22,226
what the bylaw requires in the m two zone. Still

823
01:04:22,226 --> 01:04:24,906
will have parking for approximately 40 to 45 vehicles. This

824
01:04:24,906 --> 01:04:28,186
is still something that's in flux in the site plan

825
01:04:28,186 --> 01:04:33,746
as we work with transportation staff to. Create. A site

826
01:04:33,746 --> 01:04:37,386
entrance that flows well for truck traffic and returning movements,

827
01:04:37,386 --> 01:04:41,814
so. We're not sure yet exactly where we'll land with

828
01:04:41,814 --> 01:04:45,294
our final park vehicle parking. Tally, and we may or

829
01:04:45,294 --> 01:04:49,349
may not have a specific amendment in that regard. That

830
01:04:49,349 --> 01:04:51,749
will be determined. All of the other site specific amendments

831
01:04:51,749 --> 01:04:54,629
that we're looking for, right? Now listed there are to

832
01:04:54,629 --> 01:04:57,909
deal with what's existing there. The client, other than wanting

833
01:04:57,909 --> 01:05:00,109
to put in a parking lot for trucks. Doesn't want

834
01:05:00,109 --> 01:05:03,389
to change anything else on the site. And the emergency

835
01:05:03,389 --> 01:05:06,229
generators in the front yard. It's there now, but it's

836
01:05:06,229 --> 01:05:09,640
not. Permitted by the bylaw to be there. Minimum lock

837
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:12,000
coverage for a truck terminal. The m two zone is

838
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:16,080
40%, but that existing building sorry, 25%. But that existing

839
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:19,560
building is only 4.8%. They don't want. To build more

840
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:23,000
building just to park trucks. There also isn't a loading

841
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:26,600
space currently, but because, again, this is administrative, and there

842
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,979
are 75 truck parking spots. I don't think that is

843
01:05:29,979 --> 01:05:33,601
really that necessary. The only other thing I just wanted

844
01:05:33,601 --> 01:05:35,801
to confirm is that the zoning we're looking for. Is

845
01:05:35,801 --> 01:05:39,241
m two. Every other property in this area is zoned

846
01:05:39,241 --> 01:05:42,281
the m two permits, truck parking. So this is just.

847
01:05:42,281 --> 01:05:46,545
We're trying to bring this property. And to be consistent

848
01:05:46,545 --> 01:05:49,425
with the existing official plan designation, to be consistent with

849
01:05:49,425 --> 01:05:53,225
the surrounding community and the only other exceptions to the

850
01:05:53,225 --> 01:05:56,825
bylaw are really to deal with the existing condition and

851
01:05:56,825 --> 01:05:59,345
with that. That concludes my presentation, and I'd be happy

852
01:05:59,345 --> 01:06:02,025
to answer any questions. Thank you for your presentation. Any

853
01:06:02,025 --> 01:06:09,051
questions? If not, you made excellent presentation. Thank you. And

854
01:06:09,051 --> 01:06:12,531
also to the clerk. Is there any online delegations? Is

855
01:06:12,531 --> 01:06:14,531
there anyone the audience that wishes to speak to this

856
01:06:14,531 --> 01:06:21,649
item. This is regarding. Boston Church Road. Second time, third

857
01:06:21,649 --> 01:06:27,266
time. Okay, I'm just going to read the motion here.

858
01:06:27,266 --> 01:06:29,706
It's been moved by councilor. Chauner. Second, by Councilor Melwood.

859
01:06:29,706 --> 01:06:35,186
The development services report DS 126 be received. For information.

860
01:06:35,186 --> 01:06:37,826
Any questions to motion? If not all those in favor?

861
01:06:39,687 --> 01:06:44,538
Opposed, motions carried. That ends our public meeting portion of

862
01:06:44,538 --> 01:06:49,858
the meeting. Now move on to item 10.1, the items

863
01:06:49,858 --> 01:06:56,878
for consideration. As the technical reports official plan zoning bylaw

864
01:06:56,878 --> 01:07:01,119
amendments additional residential units in the rural area. Plus we

865
01:07:01,119 --> 01:07:05,593
can have an overview from our development commissioner. Through the

866
01:07:05,593 --> 01:07:08,633
chair. This report recommends the approval of an official plan

867
01:07:08,633 --> 01:07:12,073
amendment and a zoning bylaw. Amendment to permit Aru's or

868
01:07:12,073 --> 01:07:16,433
additional residential units within the town's rural area. Now, these

869
01:07:16,433 --> 01:07:19,753
proposed amendments, they implement the policies of all of the

870
01:07:19,753 --> 01:07:27,191
higher level provincial plan. Plans, including the Niagara Scarman plan,

871
01:07:27,191 --> 01:07:31,968
the Green Belt plan and the provincial planning statement. There's

872
01:07:31,968 --> 01:07:36,688
various permissions being recommended in this report, depending on the

873
01:07:36,688 --> 01:07:42,699
designation. Within the rural area. Staff are recommending approval to

874
01:07:42,699 --> 01:07:46,539
permit Aru's in the rural area as outlined in the

875
01:07:46,539 --> 01:07:50,809
report. Thank you. Thank you. Is there any questions to

876
01:07:50,809 --> 01:07:54,802
the report? It's been moved by councilor Chauner, second by

877
01:07:54,802 --> 01:07:57,562
councilor Melbo. If you have the staff report in front

878
01:07:57,562 --> 01:08:01,282
of you. All those in favor? All opposed? Motions carried.

879
01:08:02,743 --> 01:08:06,383
Item 10.2 Technical Report Zoning bylaw amendments for additional US

880
01:08:06,383 --> 01:08:09,543
and issues in urban area with no municipal water or

881
01:08:09,543 --> 01:08:14,217
sewer services to have an overview. Through the chair. This

882
01:08:14,217 --> 01:08:18,668
is a similar report to the previous report. It is

883
01:08:18,668 --> 01:08:24,418
a technical report recommending. Certain provisions to permit additional residential

884
01:08:24,418 --> 01:08:28,778
units on lots within the urban area that don't have

885
01:08:28,778 --> 01:08:32,138
municipal water or municipal sewer. There are a few of

886
01:08:32,138 --> 01:08:37,098
these lots in existence, and these new zoning regulations would

887
01:08:37,098 --> 01:08:42,970
allow the flexibility to include an ARU. Any questions regarding

888
01:08:42,970 --> 01:08:46,450
report? If not, I have one. How many lots are

889
01:08:46,450 --> 01:08:48,970
we actually talking about here? Because I really can't identify

890
01:08:48,970 --> 01:08:53,820
too many. When we're talking about the areas that are

891
01:08:53,820 --> 01:08:57,703
just outside. Of land that was brought in through the

892
01:08:57,703 --> 01:09:01,623
urban boundary expansion. There's a number of properties in South

893
01:09:01,623 --> 01:09:08,131
Milton. That. Are on private services that could take advantage

894
01:09:08,131 --> 01:09:10,531
of this. I don't have an exact number. Of lots

895
01:09:10,531 --> 01:09:13,211
for you, but I can certainly point to the geography

896
01:09:13,211 --> 01:09:16,371
on a map, Councilor Ali. Seems to know more than

897
01:09:16,371 --> 01:09:21,530
you. Regarding Aru, would they also be encouraged to hook

898
01:09:21,530 --> 01:09:27,665
up to municipal water and sewers? They will once municipal

899
01:09:27,665 --> 01:09:34,597
water and sewer is present. Just clarify, because. As the

900
01:09:34,597 --> 01:09:37,157
mayor and councilor Chauna some of the properties that were

901
01:09:37,157 --> 01:09:39,957
there for decades before they were hooked up. So I

902
01:09:39,957 --> 01:09:41,757
just want to clarify that we have motion moved by

903
01:09:41,757 --> 01:09:45,637
councilor. Chowner second by councilor Malbout to approve the staff

904
01:09:45,637 --> 01:09:48,317
report. Any questions? Motion if not all those in favor?

905
01:09:50,119 --> 01:09:54,359
Options carried. Moving on to item 10.3, Grand river source

906
01:09:54,359 --> 01:10:00,939
protection plan, water quality policies, amendments. Any staff information. This

907
01:10:00,939 --> 01:10:03,899
report brings forward proposed amendments to the Grand River Source

908
01:10:03,899 --> 01:10:07,579
Protection Plan and its assessment report under the Clean Water

909
01:10:07,579 --> 01:10:10,739
act. Really, the primary objective is to align the policies

910
01:10:10,739 --> 01:10:13,659
applied in North Milton with the existing, in effect, water

911
01:10:13,659 --> 01:10:18,299
quantity policies used in Halton Hamilton source protection plans, which

912
01:10:18,299 --> 01:10:23,711
cover. The majority of Milton. Now, these updates extend from

913
01:10:23,711 --> 01:10:27,271
technical studies for water supply system outside of Milton. The

914
01:10:27,271 --> 01:10:32,377
management area for which extends into our municipality. So really

915
01:10:32,377 --> 01:10:35,657
what this means for staff is when we are reviewing

916
01:10:35,657 --> 01:10:39,737
applications within this geography, we're required to consult with the

917
01:10:39,737 --> 01:10:44,257
Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks for developments, and we're

918
01:10:44,257 --> 01:10:50,778
also encouraged to implement low impact development techniques there. Any

919
01:10:50,778 --> 01:10:54,298
questions to report. Councilor Shannon, since you are the chair

920
01:10:54,298 --> 01:10:56,858
of the Grand river conservation and by the way, Clinton,

921
01:10:56,858 --> 01:11:00,018
congratulations on your reelection. Would you like to speak to

922
01:11:00,018 --> 01:11:07,503
this? I'll move it, Mr. Chairman. We've already got you

923
01:11:07,503 --> 01:11:10,254
there. Second by councilor Malbout. Did he staff report any

924
01:11:10,254 --> 01:11:14,294
questions? The reports, if not all. Those in favor? Opposed?

925
01:11:14,294 --> 01:11:19,338
Motions carried. Want to give your equal time there. And

926
01:11:19,338 --> 01:11:24,338
item 10.4 of Milton Hydro 2026 Budget and borrowing authorization.

927
01:11:24,338 --> 01:11:26,618
A finance staff are available here in case. Any questions?

928
01:11:28,533 --> 01:11:33,094
Councilor Chowner. Yes, thanks, Mr. Chairman. The report is a

929
01:11:33,094 --> 01:11:41,770
little bit concerning. In terms of. The various ratios and

930
01:11:41,770 --> 01:11:46,889
how close we're running or hydro is running. And I

931
01:11:46,889 --> 01:11:50,939
guess I'm kind of curious as to. How the treasurer

932
01:11:50,939 --> 01:11:58,352
views. The ability of hydro to get through this. Things

933
01:11:58,352 --> 01:12:01,672
that perhaps you're working on with management. Or the board

934
01:12:01,672 --> 01:12:03,112
is working on with management. We have a couple of

935
01:12:03,112 --> 01:12:09,985
board members here. To provide. Some financial sustainability in terms

936
01:12:09,985 --> 01:12:16,969
of debt capacity. And revenues. Current revenues? So I have

937
01:12:16,969 --> 01:12:19,209
two questions in that regard, and I would appreciate any

938
01:12:19,209 --> 01:12:23,249
other comments you've got glenn. But what do you see

939
01:12:23,249 --> 01:12:26,929
as their capacity to contribute to their reserves today? Can

940
01:12:26,929 --> 01:12:30,489
it be increased? Or does provincial legislation prohibit that in

941
01:12:30,489 --> 01:12:34,409
some way, shape or form? And then, of course, the

942
01:12:34,409 --> 01:12:38,539
opportunity to increase revenues itself. I know that. Is certainly

943
01:12:38,539 --> 01:12:42,499
subject to provincial legislation. But are there other things that

944
01:12:42,499 --> 01:12:46,099
perhaps in your discussions with their management. There's been discussion

945
01:12:46,099 --> 01:12:53,464
about to deal with this. Through the chair. The secondary

946
01:12:53,464 --> 01:12:56,784
recommendation in the resolutions about looking at a longer term.

947
01:12:57,882 --> 01:13:00,722
Financial impact analysis for Milton Hydro work and collaborating with

948
01:13:00,722 --> 01:13:03,322
them that will go exactly to the heart. Of exactly

949
01:13:03,322 --> 01:13:05,642
what you're speaking to right now. Their budget process is

950
01:13:05,642 --> 01:13:08,122
based on a five. Year, and as noted in the

951
01:13:08,122 --> 01:13:11,202
report, there are notable capital investments that have been identified

952
01:13:11,202 --> 01:13:14,602
through the most recent budget process. By looking at a

953
01:13:14,602 --> 01:13:18,485
slightly longer timing horizon, we can understand. Whether we've got

954
01:13:18,485 --> 01:13:21,445
a couple of years of intense capital investment in terms

955
01:13:21,445 --> 01:13:24,645
of growth of capacity or to what degree that sustains.

956
01:13:24,645 --> 01:13:26,285
And that will go a long way, I think, to

957
01:13:26,285 --> 01:13:30,205
informing exactly that. And from a sustainability perspective, from a

958
01:13:30,205 --> 01:13:33,885
revenue perspective, investment in the system is one way to

959
01:13:33,885 --> 01:13:37,525
generate and ensure future sustainable revenue growth. So the two

960
01:13:37,525 --> 01:13:41,795
things are. Related. So with that, and also looking at

961
01:13:41,795 --> 01:13:44,355
the way that not just what the capital spend looks

962
01:13:44,355 --> 01:13:47,155
like, but the way it's financed and understanding some of

963
01:13:47,155 --> 01:13:49,555
the practices of some of the larger utilities that have

964
01:13:49,555 --> 01:13:51,955
gone through this curve already. That's also one of the

965
01:13:51,955 --> 01:13:54,675
outcomes we've talked about with management of Hydro that will

966
01:13:54,675 --> 01:13:57,435
be assessed further. They've got a lot of familiarity there.

967
01:13:57,435 --> 01:13:59,897
To a degree, it's bringing some of that information. To

968
01:13:59,897 --> 01:14:03,617
council and providing an update to what we brought. I

969
01:14:03,617 --> 01:14:05,257
think it was a few September years ago, when we

970
01:14:05,257 --> 01:14:08,017
last looked at the debt borrowing levels at the time,

971
01:14:08,017 --> 01:14:12,248
the authorities we have in place now looked. Sufficient for

972
01:14:12,248 --> 01:14:15,888
the spending needs, and it looked to show a positive

973
01:14:15,888 --> 01:14:19,248
trend. With the new forecast, we just wanted to take

974
01:14:19,248 --> 01:14:22,973
a broader look at that again with council and. With

975
01:14:22,973 --> 01:14:27,261
the expertise of Milton Hydro informing that review. Thanks, Mr.

976
01:14:27,261 --> 01:14:32,781
Chairman. Any further questions? The motion, Councilor Urbanicakis. But this

977
01:14:32,781 --> 01:14:35,981
is a forecast. Right. And we don't know. They don't

978
01:14:35,981 --> 01:14:38,661
know. Based on my history with them. They don't really

979
01:14:38,661 --> 01:14:41,621
know if they're going to hit that forecast in terms

980
01:14:41,621 --> 01:14:46,101
of capacity and when they're going to need it, correct?

981
01:14:47,222 --> 01:14:50,142
Correct. The board each year only approves the first year.

982
01:14:50,142 --> 01:14:52,662
To that point, the rest is provided. As an estimate

983
01:14:52,662 --> 01:14:55,102
of what it could look like in the four years

984
01:14:55,102 --> 01:15:01,149
following. Any further questions? If not, we have a move

985
01:15:01,149 --> 01:15:03,749
by councilor Shauner, second by councilor Malbol for the staff

986
01:15:03,749 --> 01:15:06,429
report any questions in the motion? If not all those

987
01:15:06,429 --> 01:15:13,346
in favor? Approved. Moving on to next item 10.5. Halton

988
01:15:13,346 --> 01:15:17,371
Court services business plan. Staff are available for any questions.

989
01:15:19,335 --> 01:15:21,255
It's been moved by councilor Chauner, seconded by councilor Mill

1011
01:17:05,059 --> 01:17:07,459
the motion? It's been moved by Mayor Krantz, but I

1012
01:17:07,459 --> 01:17:14,272

Okay, now, I could see more exciting here. It's item

1019
01:17:44,250 --> 01:17:46,930
10.9. Notice the motion to waive the rules procedure to

1020

01:17:50,450 --> 01:17:53,690
at a procedural motion requires a two thirds of vote.

1022
01:17:53,690 --> 01:17:56,210
And this has been moved by councilor Minocakus and second

1023
01:17:56,210 --> 01:17:59,130
by councilor chowner. You have it in your agenda bundle.

1024
01:17:59,130 --> 01:18:02,498
Any questions? The waiving. If not all those in favor?

1025
01:18:04,339 --> 01:18:11,869
Motions carried. Okay. I'm definitely not reading this one. A

1026
01:18:11,869 --> 01:18:15,189
motion to consider revising the town's procedural bylaw moved by

1027
01:18:15,189 --> 01:18:18,549
Councilman Akakas and second by councilor Chowner. Councilor. Minneakis. You

1028
01:18:18,549 --> 01:18:21,549
want to lead off? Thank you, Mr. Chair. This motion

1029
01:18:21,549 --> 01:18:25,069
is being brought forward. To formally clarify and reinforce council's

1030
01:18:25,069 --> 01:18:28,469
obligation to act within its legal authority as defined by

1031
01:18:28,469 --> 01:18:31,746
the Municipal act and our. Procedural bylaws. Our role as

1032
01:18:31,746 --> 01:18:36,506
council is the oversight of municipal services, policies, finances, and

1033
01:18:36,506 --> 01:18:39,026
the overall well being of this community, many of us

1034
01:18:39,026 --> 01:18:41,866
continue to hear from residents who remain concerned that council

1035
01:18:41,866 --> 01:18:47,646
has. In incidents drifted away from its core responsibilities. The

1036
01:18:47,646 --> 01:18:50,286
motion responds directly to those concerns by reaffirming the boundaries

1037
01:18:50,286 --> 01:18:53,766
of council's authority and ensuring our focus remains on matters

1038
01:18:53,766 --> 01:18:59,332
municipal within municipal direction. Accordingly, the motion introduces the term

1039
01:18:59,332 --> 01:19:05,052
ultravirus into our procedural bylaw to clearly identify items or

1040
01:19:05,052 --> 01:19:08,892
directions that fall beyond the council's legal power and authority.

1041
01:19:08,892 --> 01:19:12,972
This clarification provides guidance and consistency in how such matters

1042
01:19:12,972 --> 01:19:18,393
are addressed. This is approved and responsible. Step, particularly as

1043
01:19:18,393 --> 01:19:21,833
we approach a future election, to provide residents with confidence

1044
01:19:21,833 --> 01:19:25,553
that both this council and future council's remain focused on

1045
01:19:25,553 --> 01:19:29,673
their lawful responsibilities and accountable to governance. Mr. Chair, I

1046
01:19:29,673 --> 01:19:31,793
would like to request a recorded vote on this motion

1047
01:19:31,793 --> 01:19:39,179
as well. Thank you. And secondary. Thanks, Mr. Chairman. Councilor

1048
01:19:39,179 --> 01:19:42,099
Minocakus has enunciated it well, and I just. Want to

1049
01:19:42,099 --> 01:19:46,174
thank him for bringing forward this motion. And you, Mr.

1050
01:19:46,174 --> 01:19:49,414
Chairman, had the opportunity to speak to the Municipal act

1051
01:19:49,414 --> 01:19:53,872
on November 3, which was? Highly appreciated. And I think

1052
01:19:53,872 --> 01:19:56,192
a reading of that is a fair reading of what

1053
01:19:56,192 --> 01:20:00,763
our responsibilities are. And I'll leave it at that. And

1054
01:20:00,763 --> 01:20:08,187
councilor. Thank you, Mr. Chair. First of all, I want

1055
01:20:08,187 --> 01:20:11,107
to thank councilors many cockers and chalana for bringing this

1056
01:20:11,107 --> 01:20:16,725
motion forward. It's unfortunate that this motion is now necessary,

1057
01:20:16,725 --> 01:20:19,845
and it's basically a direct response. To what occurred at

1058
01:20:19,845 --> 01:20:23,740
our council meeting at November the third. Now, Mr. Chair,

1059
01:20:23,740 --> 01:20:27,860
you know that I've been involved in municipaltics since 1996,

1060
01:20:27,860 --> 01:20:30,260
when I. Was first elected as a milton's local and

1061
01:20:30,260 --> 01:20:34,055
regional counselor. Over the 30 years, I've seen a lot

1062
01:20:34,055 --> 01:20:38,267
of changes in our community. Most of them positive, but

1063
01:20:38,267 --> 01:20:42,436
lately, not so much. I've never seen our community as

1064
01:20:42,436 --> 01:20:49,701
divided as it is today. Now at that meeting. Of

1065
01:20:49,701 --> 01:20:52,181
November 3, we had to deal with a motion that

1066
01:20:52,181 --> 01:20:56,565
pitted one segment of our community against another. Emotion that

1067
01:20:56,565 --> 01:20:59,165
was forced, that forced us to pick a side in

1068
01:20:59,165 --> 01:21:03,565
a conflict that we had no jurisdiction or influence over

1069
01:21:03,565 --> 01:21:07,031
a motion that should have never come forward. There was

1070
01:21:07,031 --> 01:21:09,991
a reason municipal governments do not have a department of

1071
01:21:09,991 --> 01:21:15,580
international Affairs. As elected officials, we have a responsibility to

1072
01:21:15,580 --> 01:21:19,680
represent everyone equally. Unfortunately, that has not been the case

1073
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:24,774
lately. One of the longtime resident of Milton. I never

1074
01:21:24,774 --> 01:21:27,414
thought that I would see our main street and businesses

1075
01:21:27,414 --> 01:21:33,294
blocked by demonstrators, mostly from Toronto Mississauga, protesting what was

1076
01:21:33,294 --> 01:21:35,654
occurring in a part of the world thousands of miles

1077
01:21:35,654 --> 01:21:44,848
from Milton. I never would have

1078
01:21:44,848 --> 01:21:48,568
thought that I would see, known and admitted supporters of

1079
01:21:48,568 --> 01:21:55,036
a terrorist organization. Delegating before this council. Or that while

1080
01:21:55,036 --> 01:21:57,356
sitting in this chair, I would be called a baby

1081
01:21:57,356 --> 01:22:00,975
killer. Supporter of genocide? A racist or told I would

1082
01:22:00,975 --> 01:22:05,054
burn on hell because of how I voted. Since that

1083
01:22:05,054 --> 01:22:09,694
evening, I've received other counselors have as well numerous emails,

1084
01:22:09,694 --> 01:22:13,454
voicemails. And people approaching me in public, all expressing their

1085
01:22:13,454 --> 01:22:18,055
anger and frustration as to what happened that evening. I

1086
01:22:18,055 --> 01:22:20,735
received more comments on this issue than I have received

1087
01:22:20,735 --> 01:22:26,446
on any other issue over the last 30 years. I

1088
01:22:26,446 --> 01:22:28,806
heard comments so filled with hate that even a red

1089
01:22:28,806 --> 01:22:33,356
deck like myself found them disturbing. The militant of today

1090
01:22:33,356 --> 01:22:35,516
is not the Milton my wife and I moved into

1091
01:22:35,516 --> 01:22:39,133
39 years ago and where we raised our children. The

1092
01:22:39,133 --> 01:22:43,711
motion that had nothing to do with municipal affairs. That

1093
01:22:43,711 --> 01:22:46,311
was brought before us November 3. And what occurred that

1094
01:22:46,311 --> 01:22:50,631
evening has divided our community. We have a problem. A

1095
01:22:50,631 --> 01:22:53,653
problem we didn't have three years ago. A problem we

1096
01:22:53,653 --> 01:22:55,973
have brought upon ourselves, and I would ask members of

1097
01:22:55,973 --> 01:22:59,373
this council to reflect and ask themselves what part they

1098
01:22:59,373 --> 01:23:02,527
have played in that. Mr. Chair, do I think this

1099
01:23:02,527 --> 01:23:05,287
motion would repair the damage done to our community on

1100
01:23:05,287 --> 01:23:08,967
November the third? No, but hopefully it will stop things

1101
01:23:08,967 --> 01:23:12,841
from getting worse. By ensuring that what occurred that evening

1102
01:23:12,841 --> 01:23:18,618
doesn't happen again. Thank you. Any further speakers. Item, Councilor

1103
01:23:18,618 --> 01:23:24,875
Ali. Sympathize with the previous speaker and the threats they

1104
01:23:24,875 --> 01:23:30,173
received, that is never okay. Having said that. The previous

1105
01:23:30,173 --> 01:23:35,775
speaker's comments are not helping. To solve the divisiveness and

1106
01:23:35,775 --> 01:23:39,246
to solve the division that he speaks about. So I

1107
01:23:39,246 --> 01:23:41,694
don't think. That was very smart for him to make

1108
01:23:41,694 --> 01:23:45,595
these comments. And I understand where he's coming from. And

1109
01:23:45,595 --> 01:23:48,821
as I said before, We all stand against violence. We

1110
01:23:48,821 --> 01:23:52,301
all stand against division. What happened that night in the

1111
01:23:52,301 --> 01:23:55,901
Chambers was. Not acceptable with the threats that were made

1112
01:23:55,901 --> 01:23:59,141
by folks who I don't know from where. Showed up.

1113
01:23:59,141 --> 01:24:02,954
Having said that, Attaching these comments to this motion. I

1114
01:24:02,954 --> 01:24:06,194
don't think that was necessary. And it further adds fire

1115
01:24:06,194 --> 01:24:10,764
to the division. The same speaker mentioned. Having said that,

1116
01:24:10,764 --> 01:24:15,506
the intent of this motion. Is just a reminder and

1117
01:24:15,506 --> 01:24:19,226
reiteration what we already have in place. And to that

1118
01:24:19,226 --> 01:24:23,426
end, I don't see any problem with this motion. Thanks.

1119
01:24:23,426 --> 01:24:26,986
Any further speakers on this item? We have a recorded

1120
01:24:26,986 --> 01:24:31,750
vote requested. All those in favor, please stand. Thank you.

1121
01:24:31,750 --> 01:24:36,790
In favor? I'm noting councilor Eli. Councilor Kolki, mayor Krantz.

1122
01:24:36,790 --> 01:24:42,430
Councilor Shaliner, councilor Marshall, councilor Malbaf, councilor Minocakus. And councilor

1123
01:24:42,430 --> 01:24:52,031
best. And that's carried. Motion has been passed. And move

1124
01:24:52,031 --> 01:24:56,329
on to regional council update and regional account council. Thank

1125
01:24:56,329 --> 01:24:58,249
you, Mr. Chair. I thought you were in the chair

1126
01:24:58,249 --> 01:25:00,969
today, so I'll take over. For the regional council update

1127
01:25:00,969 --> 01:25:04,129
and just wanted to share some happy news with our

1128
01:25:04,129 --> 01:25:07,991
colleagues. And a few residents who are watching us live

1129
01:25:07,991 --> 01:25:12,311
right now. We have approved 46 deeply affordable assisted rental

1130
01:25:12,311 --> 01:25:20,158
homes. In 1001 Kennedy Circle. And 16.56 million investment was

1131
01:25:20,158 --> 01:25:24,781
approved by regional council just last week. And these deeply

1132
01:25:24,781 --> 01:25:28,981
affordable rental housing units will start from a low rent

1133
01:25:28,981 --> 01:25:32,261
of $350. So something you should be very, very proud

1134
01:25:32,261 --> 01:25:37,173
of. 350 per month, and the occupancy is expected summer

1135
01:25:37,173 --> 01:25:41,171
of 2026, which is this. Year. So good news all

1136
01:25:41,171 --> 01:25:45,251
around really quickly. Halton Regional Police Service has launched a

1137
01:25:45,251 --> 01:25:49,131
new user friendly website to serve everybody better. I sit

1138
01:25:49,131 --> 01:25:51,691
on the board, and one of the major concerns and

1139
01:25:51,691 --> 01:25:55,251
complaints we got was about how clunky the website is

1140
01:25:55,251 --> 01:25:57,771
and so very proud to share with the community that

1141
01:25:57,771 --> 01:26:00,748
the website is now very user friendly. That is it,

1142
01:26:00,748 --> 01:26:06,539
Mr. Chair. Not sure if it describes websites as clunky.

1143
01:26:06,539 --> 01:26:09,539
That's a new one for me. Any other regional counselors

1144
01:26:09,539 --> 01:26:12,899
any updates? If not, I do have an Amo update.

1145
01:26:14,684 --> 01:26:17,484
We have our board meetings this Thursday and Friday. We

1146
01:26:17,484 --> 01:26:21,124
are expecting a few more developments coming from the province,

1147
01:26:21,124 --> 01:26:23,644
as the mayor is quite well aware of, possibly by

1148
01:26:23,644 --> 01:26:26,484
the end of March. So stay. Tuned. Maybe some changes

1149
01:26:26,484 --> 01:26:31,982
coming our way. And any statements by members. Mayor Crentz

1150
01:26:31,982 --> 01:26:35,662
and councilor coach very quickly, Mr. Chairman, we're well aware

1151
01:26:35,662 --> 01:26:40,559
of course. What's happened in the last. 24 48 hours

1152
01:26:40,559 --> 01:26:44,656
with regards to. Whether I had brief conversation this morning.

1153
01:26:45,693 --> 01:26:48,253
With Doug. I just want to recognize the work that

1154
01:26:48,253 --> 01:26:52,266
he's done. In our public word crew. And of course,

1155
01:26:52,266 --> 01:26:57,568
we both agreed that. Patience is the order of the

1156
01:26:57,568 --> 01:27:01,883
day. And so far, so good. The biggest majority of

1157
01:27:01,883 --> 01:27:08,375
people. Are reasonably happy with what we're doing. And again,

1158
01:27:08,375 --> 01:27:10,695
I know I haven't heard from too many people. I

1159
01:27:10,695 --> 01:27:15,432
know doug has heard. From a few individuals. But I

1160
01:27:15,432 --> 01:27:17,792
just want to recognize that it was probably one of

1161
01:27:17,792 --> 01:27:22,162
the worst storms we've had for the past. Number of

1162
01:27:22,162 --> 01:27:25,030
years as well. So not only the town of mountain

1163
01:27:25,030 --> 01:27:31,848
was affected dramatically. It said record. Number of. Inches or

1164
01:27:31,848 --> 01:27:37,735
snowfall. In the Greater Toronto Niagara region. So streets are

1165
01:27:37,735 --> 01:27:42,388
in pretty good shape. Now, the big thing is. Picking

1166
01:27:42,388 --> 01:27:45,508
up and disposing of some of that snow. And I

1167
01:27:45,508 --> 01:27:47,828
know Doug and his people. Are going to be working

1168
01:27:47,828 --> 01:27:49,628
on that in the next few days, so I just

1169
01:27:49,628 --> 01:27:52,388
want to share. The public code there that it's still

1170
01:27:52,388 --> 01:27:54,948
a work in motion, probably for the next four or

1171
01:27:54,948 --> 01:27:57,988
five days. And, Mr. Chairman, I'm not sure if Doug

1172
01:27:57,988 --> 01:28:02,267
has an update, because I do know people. Will start.

1173
01:28:02,267 --> 01:28:05,987
People will start to get impatient, not only patient. So

1174
01:28:05,987 --> 01:28:08,947
maybe you could permit that to. Say a few words.

1175
01:28:08,947 --> 01:28:12,694
Thank you, your worship. And Doug. Because the highlight of

1176
01:28:12,694 --> 01:28:15,275
the day, because. The mayor is correct. It was a

1177
01:28:15,275 --> 01:28:18,035
record, I believe. Is that broken 82 year old record.

1178
01:28:19,947 --> 01:28:22,147
Through the chair. Thank you, your worship. I appreciate the

1179
01:28:22,147 --> 01:28:25,787
comments and the sentiments. I'll be. Sure to pass those

1180
01:28:25,787 --> 01:28:29,467
thoughts along to staff, and I accept those thanks on

1181
01:28:29,467 --> 01:28:33,434
behalf of all the staff. That were out there working

1182
01:28:33,434 --> 01:28:36,708
and contractors that we had boots on the ground. It

1183
01:28:36,708 --> 01:28:39,108
was a very collaborative effort with our partners inside of

1184
01:28:39,108 --> 01:28:41,748
Town hall, as well with our communications. Folks, our bylaw

1185
01:28:41,748 --> 01:28:44,548
enforcement people. It truly was a team effort to get

1186
01:28:44,548 --> 01:28:47,268
us through to this. Point so far. And as you

1187
01:28:47,268 --> 01:28:49,828
mentioned, we will need a few more days to sort

1188
01:28:49,828 --> 01:28:52,668
of wipe. Up some copies, bills, and get some things

1189
01:28:52,668 --> 01:28:54,708
sorted out and get everything sorted back to normal, but.

1190
01:28:54,708 --> 01:28:57,101
We'll get that done in the next few days. Thank

1191
01:28:57,101 --> 01:29:01,188
you. Any further. Councilor calcut? Yeah. This is your chair.

1192
01:29:01,188 --> 01:29:03,468
Mayor Cran. Stole my thunder there. But just was going

1193
01:29:03,468 --> 01:29:06,868
to say the same thing. Commissioner already knows that his

1194
01:29:06,868 --> 01:29:08,988
team is doing a great job, and I've expressed that

1195
01:29:08,988 --> 01:29:10,788
to him as well. On behalf of residents in ward

1196
01:29:10,788 --> 01:29:12,548
three. And I think we should change his title to

1197
01:29:12,548 --> 01:29:17,823
commissioner of snow after this meeting. Okay. Any further statements

1198
01:29:17,823 --> 01:29:21,463
or requests? If not, we do have a confidential session.

1199
01:29:21,463 --> 01:29:24,063
Does anyone see the need to go into conference session.

1200
01:29:24,063 --> 01:29:28,382
No. Okay. We have a motion by councilor chalner and

1201
01:29:28,382 --> 01:29:31,622
second by councilor Malbo with. The recommendations staff report column.

1202
01:29:33,216 --> 01:29:36,983
26 be approved. All those in favor? Opposed, motions carried.

1203
01:29:39,097 --> 01:29:41,977
And now bylaws moved by councilor Chalander and second by

1204
01:29:41,977 --> 01:29:47,337
councilor Malbouth. That bylaws number 126 through and including 826

1205
01:29:47,337 --> 01:29:49,977
B, red pass and numbered in the mayor and clerk

1206
01:29:49,977 --> 01:29:52,897
be authorized to sign the Sid bylaws. Seal them with

1207
01:29:52,897 --> 01:29:59,547
seal corporation. And be engrossed in the bylaw. Book any

1208
01:29:59,547 --> 01:30:03,187
questions of bylaws? If not all. Those in favor? Opposed?

1209
01:30:03,187 --> 01:30:07,624
Motions carried. And that's all, folks.
