a property um you can type in the 81 00:07:53,680 --> 00:08:02,800 address or if there is no address in the case of a vacant lot for example 82 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:07,280 you can type in the roll number that's the long number on 83 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:11,919 your that you'd find on your tax bill that starts with four three six eight 84 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:15,599 so i'm just gonna i'm

we go it highlights the property 90 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:40,959 and it look it shows the municipal address if there is one in this case 130 91 00:08:38,719 --> 00:08:44,560 it shows the street and if you zoom in you can see that the property zoning is 92 00:08:43,599 --> 00:08:47,839 i which 93 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:52,640 in this case is institutional and if you're not sure what the zone 94 00:08:49,839 --> 00:08:57,120 code means for a property i'm just looking around you can see an 95 00:08:54,399 --> 00:09:01,279 ru here or a gl or an rr 96 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:06,160 and all that information is found in the text 97 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:10,880 document of the zoning bylaw so you can also um scroll around 98 00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:18,240 and we can see here um there's some colors as well um on the on this 99 00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:23,279 interactive map so i'm just gonna go over here to where it says layers 100 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:26,399 click on that and i'm just

all these up 103 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:43,040 so this lighter red color you can see here that um it refers to the nipissing 104 00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:46,720 ridge overlay and uh wes and jamie will be touching on that in the presentation 105 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:50,720 and all the information like i said is in the text of the bylaw 106 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:54,640 um and then over here um in perkinsfield 107 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:58,160 um we have a wellhead protection overlays 108 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:02,000 so we can see what these different codes are and these all correspond in the 109 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:10,399 actual text bylaw as well as over here this purple color 110 00:10:06,079 --> 00:10:10,399 is the heronia airport overlay 111 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:17,200 and you can also scroll around and find the zoning of a 112 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:21,600 property just using the map so in this case i'll just click on 113 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:25,760 perkinsfield park and if i zoom in i can see it's zoned os 114 00:10:24,399 --> 00:10:29,839 which in the case of this property is open space 115 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:34,160 and the address of the property will 116 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:37,760 actually come up with the roll number so that that's that's how the that's how 117 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:42,240 the zoning tool works when you're trying to find out what is the zone what is 118 00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:45,720 going to be what is the new zoning of my property 119 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:56,959 so with that i will turn things over to wes and jamie to walk us through the 120 00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:01,760 powerpoint presentation that they prepared for us tonight 121 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:05,360 and um and then at the end like i said we will 122

00:11:26,399 the presentation and then wes we'll back clean up and finish things off 127 00:11:24,399 --> 00:11:32,320 uh just to start off what we've completed so far project was initiated 128 00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:36,880 back in 2021 there was an initial council workshop followed by a technical 129 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:41,440 memorandum that outlined some of the key aspects to be considered 130 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:45,600 as part of the zoning bylaw update there was a survey conducted and a subsequent 131 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:50,560 technical memorandum completed that provided an overview of some of the 132 00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:54,720 responses to that survey and then most recently the 133 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:59,120 first draft of the document has been released that's the purpose of today's 134 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:03,279 meeting is to provide the public with some of the highlights 135 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:08,079 of the of the first draft of the official plan and provide an opportunity 136 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:13,519 for some questions and answers as we complete today's exercise sean or wes 137 00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:19,839 right in terms of uh the reason why the zoning 138 00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:24,320 bylaws being being completed if the planning act requires that whenever a 139 00:12:22,079 --> 00:12:29,200 municipality undertakes an official plan review or updates its official plan that 140 00:12:26,959 --> 00:12:34,480 within three years of that exercise the municipality is also required to 141 00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:37,600 update their zoning bylaw and that's precisely the process that's being 142 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:42,880 undertaken here the new official plan was adopted in 28 143 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:46,880 november of 2018 by the township council and then the 144 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:50,880 approval authorities the county of simcoe for the official plan and the 145 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:56,079 county approved that document in december of 2021. 146 00:12:54,079 --> 00:13:00,480 so again this document is implementing that this document will repeal and 147 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:04,800 replace the current official current zoning bylaw 148 00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:09,920 and it does include a number of 149 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:13,279 modifications to the text to deal with um 150 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:17,200 with current planning issues also to implement the new policies that 151 00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:20,639 are contained within the within the official plan 152 00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:25,680 and also there's updates to the zoning schedules to more closely align the zone 153 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:30,320 schedules with the with the new updated official plan 154 00:13:27,839 --> 00:13:30,320 schedules 155 00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:37,920 you'll notice when you review the two documents both the official plan and 156 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:44,000 zoning bylaw the structure of the mapping is is is similar 157 00:13:41,199 --> 00:13:49,279 uh the official plan is a is a document that provides policy direction and a 158 00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:52,480 snapshot of what the municipality uh it's its land use characteristics 159 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:56,240 will be uh in the next 20 years that's what the 160 00:13:54,560 --> 00:14:02,079 objective is where the zoning really recognizes what's on the land today 161 00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:06,320 and uh you will notice in reviewing the zoning bylaw that there is some new 162 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:11,519 nomenclature in some of the zones and that nomenclature closely aligns with 163 00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:15,440 the uh with the nomenclature and the official plan 164 00:14:13,199 --> 00:14:20,720 one example of this is that there's now a green land zone in the zoning by-law 165 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:25,920 which there wasn't in the current zoning by-law but that's consistent with 166 00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:28,800 the terminology in the official plan next slide was 167 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:36,639 in terms of how the uh how the bylaws structured there is a 168 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:41,839 user's guide at the outset of the by-law which which will inform the reader on 169 00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:44,800 how to how to use the bylaw and where to look up 170 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:47,600 their property on the schedules and how to navigate through the different 171 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:51,760 sections i know most people don't use a zoning bio until 172 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:55,839 they're proposing to build it build a new building on their 173 00:14:53,600 --> 00:15:00,160 property either a new house or an accessory building and that's when when 174 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:04,720 the rules come into play and and the bylaws tries to be user friendly to 175 00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:09,600 provide a guide to that there's a number of illustrations and also definitions in 176 00:15:07,199 --> 00:15:14,480 the bylaw which help to guide the user and provide examples of of what the 177 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:19,440 bylaw is referring to and it speaks to different yards and how heights measured 178 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:23,120 for example and those sorts of things from the structure of the bylaw i won't 179 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:27,279 review the whole the complete structure a few things i 180 00:15:25,519 --> 00:15:32,160 just want to highlight on are section two dealing with general provisions 181 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:36,959 these are provisions that that apply to every property in the municipality 182 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:40,399 so regardless of what zone your property may be in or the property you're 183 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:46,160 interested in those general provisions could apply so it's important to 184 00:15:42,959 --> 00:15:51,839 review those when evaluating how your property may be used 185 00:15:49,279 --> 00:15:56,320 section 4 outlines permitted uses and it's provided in a tabular format 186 00:15:54,399 --> 00:16:01,120 so for each zone there's a series of permitted uses and how the bylaw 187 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:07,279 functions is that if the use isn't specifically identified as permitted 188 00:16:03,839 --> 00:16:10,639 then it's it's not allowed in the bylaw so the bylaw functions in a permissive 189 00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:15,680 context section 5 outlines zone standards so 190 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:19,600 that's the section that establishes 191 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:22,720 what the front yard setback is how high your building can be how much law 192 00:16:21,199 --> 00:16:26,639 coverage you can have those sorts of things so that's where 193 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:30,800 the that's what the zone standards does and then the remaining sections outline 194 00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:36,240 exceptions for unique properties and definitions that apply through bylaw 195 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:39,360 one point just with respect to exceptions 196 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:43,600 the current zoning bylaw contains a number of exceptions 197 00:16:41,199 --> 00:16:46,480 uh we along with staff at the township have been through all of their 198 00:16:45,199 --> 00:16:50,399 exceptions and identified which ones 199 00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:54,399 should be maintained and which ones could be removed there's a number of 200 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:57,839 instances where structures specific 201 00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:01,680 exceptions may have been provided to construct 202 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:05,760 a dwelling or a building at a specific reduced setback or in a specific 203 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:08,720 location on the lot once those buildings are constructed 204 00:17:07,439 --> 00:17:12,880 there's really no need for those exceptions moving forward so there's 205 00:17:10,959 --> 00:17:15,919 many instances we've where we've reduced the number of exceptions in this new 206 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:21,199 bylaw west 207 00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:25,520 uh this sec this just in this slide intends to provide an overview of the 208 00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:29,200 format and structure of the bylaw you can see that 209 00:17:26,959 --> 00:17:34,640 we've included exceptions in a table format as opposed to the the 210 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,919 current current format 211 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:42,960 there's a couple of reasons for this it provides it's very easy to see what 212 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:47,360 additional uses or what or only what uses are permitted on 213 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:52,400 specific properties and specific zone requirements it makes it easy to craft 214 00:17:49,919 --> 00:17:56,000 amendments to the bylaw and it makes it easy to update the zoning bylaws so 215 00:17:54,240 --> 00:18:00,640 there's a few administrative tools that are 216 00:17:56,799 --> 00:18:04,880 we find the tables are are quite handy wes 217 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:09,760 uh one point of that's always interesting with the zoning bylaw is how 218 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:13,520 does it the bylaw treat existing uses that might predate the passing of the 219 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,000 zoning bylaw and 220 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:19,919 probably everybody's heard of the term grandfathering so that's what we're 221 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:23,679 talking about we're talking about legal non-conforming uses and legal 222 00:18:21,679 --> 00:18:28,480 non-complying structures is structures that predated the passing 223 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:31,840 of the zoning bylaw we see a lot of these structures in areas along the 224 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:36,960 shoreline where are the current bylaw 225 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:40,640 and even the proposed bylaw proposed setbacks 226 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:45,039 that are fairly substantial or historically 227 00:18:42,799 --> 00:18:48,799 developed and may have been constructed closer to the shoreline than what the 228 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:52,240 bylaws actually permit so the 229 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:55,360 the pilot does establish specific dates in it for 230 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:58,480 when structures would be considered legal non-complying and where they would 231 00:18:57,039 --> 00:19:00,720 be grandfathered wes 232 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:08,720 in terms of transition provisions and wes used this term this afternoon so i'm 233 00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:12,799 going to steal it we tried to establish a principle of fairness in establishing 234 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:17,280 this bylaw and and 235 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:21,919 and one of those items of fairness is that if someone had received a minor 236 00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:27,200 variance under the current zoning bylaw basically we've proposed a five-year 237 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:30,480 grace period under the proposed bylaw which would allow that variance to stay 238 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:34,559 in effect and they could get their building permit within that five-year 239 00:19:32,559 --> 00:19:38,400 time period we do think it's important that there is so there is a sunset 240 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,679 clause at the end of the day these things can be 241 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:46,640 difficult from an administration perspective if too much time lapses so 242 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:50,320 the second area of transition was related to specifically building permits 243 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:55,440 so if you have that minor variance application or if you have a site plan 244 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:59,039 application that's been executed if you do have a transition period in 245 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:02,640 which to obtain building permits for those 246 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,960 instruments as well plus 247 00:20:05,039 --> 00:20:11,120 the other piece of fairness that's been proposed is 248 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:14,799 relates to the ep zone boundaries we wanted to provide a little bit of 249 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:17,840 flexibility in the bylaw with respect to the limits of these boundaries and not 250 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:22,880 require zoning amendments for i will call it 251 00:20:20,559 --> 00:20:28,000 refinements to those zone boundaries so for example if 252 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:33,039 an ep zone boundary crosses an area of a landscape lot adjacent to a house for 253 00:20:30,799 --> 00:20:38,400 for example in an additions proposed that house or a 254 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:43,039 or a deck is proposed to be added where justification is provided and 255 00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:47,360 where it's obvious that there's no environmental feature in that area the 256 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:53,520 bylaw does permit refinements to those zone limits without an amending zoning 257 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,520 vial application to be applied for 258 00:20:54,720 --> 00:21:00,640 there's four overlay zones that are proposed to be added to the zone to this 259 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:04,320 new zoning bylaw the first one deals with the nipissing ridge and that's 260 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:08,430 implementing the feature that we've included in the official plan as well 261 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:12,240 what it establishes is [Music] 262 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:18,480 it's basically to ensure that development could proceed 263 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:22,320 in proximity to that nipissing ridge or or 264 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:26,000 slightly within it provided that there's no 265 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:29,760 clearly no impact on that feature so provides that there needs to be a review 266 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:34,080 of that feature it's really kind of like a yield sign or a caution sign 267 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:37,520 that needs to be demonstrated that there won't be any impact prior to development 268 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:41,760 proceeding similarly the next two items wellhead 269 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:46,000 protection area and issues contributing area those are items that are have been 270 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:51,200 included through an amendment to the current zoning bylaw when the 271 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:55,840 municipality undertook uh a implementation exercise related to the 272 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:59,520 source water protection plan for 273 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:03,280 um lake simcoe and south southern georgia bay 274 00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:06,640 and those policies have been included in the currents or sorry those regulations 275 00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:11,360 have been incurred included in the current zoning bylaw and the mappings 276 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:15,600 also been updated again it's somewhat of a caution sign that 277 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:20,320 that's that says that if you're proposing certain uses 278 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:24,159 within these wellhead protection areas there may need to be some further review 279 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:28,880 and some some site plan control for example 280 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:32,799 applied to ensure there's no impact on these wellhead features in order to 281 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:37,039 protect municipal drinking water supplies that's the focus and then 282 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:41,600 finally with the airport this is an overlay and to ensure the proper 283 00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:45,280 functioning of the airport so would would apply to uses and heights of 284 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:48,799 buildings and structures in proximity to the airport 285 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:57,280 additional dwelling units now you'll see in brackets secondary units that's the 286 00:22:54,720 --> 00:23:02,240 term that's used in the official plan the province has recently updated the 287 00:22:59,679 --> 00:23:07,200 planning act of ontario to allow for 288 00:23:04,159 --> 00:23:11,120 up to two accessory units within with any dwelling unit in this in a 289 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:15,600 single-family home or within a semi-detached unit or row houses as the 290 00:23:13,919 --> 00:23:19,600 case may be so that's why the terminologies change to 291 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:23,120 additional dwelling units the what's 292 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:26,240 important from this bylaws perspective is that additional units are not 293 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:30,000 additional dwelling units are not permitted in the shoreline zone or the 294 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:34,880 limited service uh shoreline zone 295 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:40,080 uh that implements the policies that are contained in the official plan 296 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:44,559 and there's a number of reasons for that firstly shoreline areas are areas that 297 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,919 exist primarily because of recreational 298 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:52,240 development and there's also potential concerns with 299 00:23:49,919 --> 00:23:55,679 density intensity of use of properties if etc or if secondary units are 300 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:59,679 permitted or additional units are permitted on shoreline properties 301 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,400 and this approach to not permitting additional dwelling units and shoreline 302 00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:07,120 properties is a an approach that's employed by a 303 00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:10,799 number of shoreline municipalities across the province because there's 304 00:24:08,559 --> 00:24:14,960 often late capacity concerns and those sorts of things 305 00:24:12,159 --> 00:24:19,120 related to the servicing of of shoreline properties 306 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:23,200 additional dwelling units are permitted as of right in 307 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:27,360 in most other zones within the zoning bylaw where 308 00:24:24,559 --> 00:24:31,679 uh where dwelling units are permitted there are however some standards that 309 00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:37,039 are outlined in the zoning bilo that must be met in order to be able to 310 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:41,760 develop an accessory dwelling unit and there's also some size limitations 311 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:44,640 associated with them as well next slide was 312 00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:49,600 so i think this is where you're taking over wes 313 00:24:46,799 --> 00:24:52,880 oh you're on mute there we go 314 00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:56,000 thanks guys um um 315 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:59,520 i'll take i think i have a number of slides 316 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:03,120 uh to go through and then we'll get to the 317 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:07,919 questions that people are posting on the q a function uh don't forget if you've 318 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:13,120 got questions post them there and and once the presentation's done 319 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:18,480 sean will moderate and review each of the questions and either 320 00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:22,240 ask jamie or i or or sean himself will respond to the questions so that we 321 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:28,960 respond to each and every question that's posted uh through this open house 322 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:32,960 so uh the draft bylaw 323 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:36,559 that's currently under consideration proposes 324 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:40,159 no changes to the current prohibition on backyard chickens both in the zoning 325 00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:44,960 bylaw and in the municipalities uh livestock 326 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:48,159 bylaw as well and there are a number of reasons that 327 00:25:46,799 --> 00:25:53,200 we've done that if you have reviewed the technical 328 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:59,120 memorandums number one and two you'll note that we identified to 329 00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:01,440 council that if they wish to choose to establish a 330 00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:05,760 uh a backyard chicken or an urban chicken 331 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:11,679 program in the municipality that we recommended that the municipality 332 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:16,400 consider a temporary use bylaw approach to establish a pilot program 333 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:20,640 in the municipality and subject to the public input that we 334 00:26:18,559 --> 00:26:25,840 received tonight and up to the closing of the comments on 335 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:32,320 the first draft of the public meeting council may provide further directions 336 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:36,159 to its staff and its project team to reconsider 337 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:40,400 the backyard chicken program either within this bylaw 338 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:46,000 or in another approach in the municipality there were a number of 339 00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:49,520 concerns that uh that we identified both by 340 00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:54,080 uh the simcoe county federation of agriculture and the provincial minister 341 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:57,600 of agriculture and the concerns that the backyard chicken programs had 342 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:01,840 on commercial 343 00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:05,520 poultry operations in the municipalities and those amongst others were some of 344 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:10,640 the concerns why we thought at this point in time anyways we would 345 00:27:07,919 --> 00:27:14,640 not change the current prohibition and looking for public further public 346 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:20,039 comment and input as we get through and go through this 347 00:27:17,039 --> 00:27:20,039 process 348 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:32,159 so uh this is a new element that we've added into the bylaw for boat docks and 349 00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:35,440 boat lifts this is contained in uh section 2.4 of the bylaw 350 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:41,120 uh tiny has not previously 351 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:45,080 regulated boat docks or boat lifts and as a result of some recent court 352 00:27:43,919 --> 00:27:50,799 decisions municipalities are moving into providing 353 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:55,200 zoning regulations for docs in particular 354 00:27:52,799 --> 00:28:00,159 the provisions that are contained in in 2.4 355 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:06,240 set out setbacks for docs as part of a maximum extension into the 356 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:10,880 into the water and of course as you know as required by the bylaw you must be the 357 00:28:08,559 --> 00:28:17,320 legal owner of the lands where the docks are constructed and connected uh to the 358 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,320 shoreline 359 00:28:18,159 --> 00:28:25,440 the bunkie provisions in the current bylaw are carried forward into the new 360 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:29,440 bilo so the provisions and definition definitions 361 00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:32,799 are pretty much left the same again 362 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:38,880 bunkies are not permitted for rental or commercial purposes 363 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:42,480 much like the existing and current bylaw however we've provided clarification in 364 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:48,000 the bylaw that washrooms will be permitted under 365 00:28:45,039 --> 00:28:54,480 the new bylaw in bunkies when it's approved uh by council 366 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:59,200 you'll note in the bylaw that there is a placeholder 367 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:04,159 in the draft by law with respect to cannabis production and 368 00:29:02,159 --> 00:29:09,600 we're looking for and waiting for further council direction 369 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:14,159 um council has decided to undertake a review policy review policy and 370 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:18,399 regulatory review with respect to cannabis production as part of a 371 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:23,200 separate process and we'll be holding a separate public consultation 372 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:28,399 meeting as part of that as well you'll note that there is a staff report that's 373 00:29:25,679 --> 00:29:32,960 noted here where a preliminary direction for 374 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:38,000 contents for the proposed official plan amendment and zoning by law amendment 375 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:41,679 have been identified but generally the 376 00:29:39,279 --> 00:29:46,960 cannabis production would be permitted in the industrial agricultural and rural 377 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:51,760 designations in the official plan but subject to a zoning bylaw amendment 378 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:55,440 application process and public consultation as a result 379 00:29:54,399 --> 00:29:59,039 so cannabis production would not be 380 00:29:57,039 --> 00:30:03,600 permitted based on these preliminary directions as of right in the 381 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:09,520 municipality zoning bylaw so if you're interested in that aspect 382 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:13,919 of planning regulation and policy in tiny 383 00:30:10,559 --> 00:30:19,039 you can go to the municipalities website and search that that particular staff 384 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:23,120 report and follow along with the the process as the municipality 385 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:27,360 considers establishing new policies and regulations uh for legal cannabis 386 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:33,360 production in the municipality 387 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:37,200 um we've added new uh definitions and provisions 388 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:42,480 for outdoor residential lighting to the proposed bylaw 389 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:48,960 and we've included limited regulations requiring dark sky compliant residential 390 00:30:45,679 --> 00:30:54,480 lighting in section 222 of the draft bylaw municipality have a number of 391 00:30:52,080 --> 00:31:00,640 tools that are available to them to regulate outdoor lighting and we've 392 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:05,440 chosen to at this point to include some new provisions for outdoor lighting and 393 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:10,320 looking for public review and public comments on the provisions that we've 394 00:31:07,679 --> 00:31:15,200 proposed so far we've also added 395 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:20,080 new provisions to the proposed bylaw dealing with retaining walls currently 396 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:25,279 the the current bylaw does not contain any standards or regulations with 397 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:30,320 respect to rain retaining walls um we're proposing to establish regulations 398 00:31:28,159 --> 00:31:35,440 that will work with the requirements of the ontario building code with respect 399 00:31:32,159 --> 00:31:39,760 to when you do or don't need a permit for retaining walls and the proposed 400 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:43,600 setbacks for the retaining walls that are contained in the new zoning bylaw 401 00:31:41,919 --> 00:31:48,159 are based on the height of the proposed wall so for retaining walls that are 402 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:51,760 less than a meter in height they would be permitted 403 00:31:49,919 --> 00:31:56,960 on the property line for retaining walls that are one meter 404 00:31:54,480 --> 00:32:01,919 in height or greater they must meet the setbacks for accessory structures and 405 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:07,679 these are all set out in section 228 of the new proposed zoning bylaw 406 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:15,279 the existing bylaw has a number of provisions with respect to 407 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:19,760 steep slopes that are not mapped on the municipality's zoning schedules this is 408 00:32:18,159 --> 00:32:24,960 different than the nipissing ridge which in the new 409 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:28,559 bylaw is a specific overlay zone and has some very specific and detailed 410 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:33,919 regulations the current bylaw has setback standards 411 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:40,960 from steep slopes but they are currently defined as one to three slope or about 412 00:32:37,919 --> 00:32:48,080 73 percent the proposal in the draft bylaw is to establish the 413 00:32:45,039 --> 00:32:54,399 same uh setback 15 meters from most deep slopes but for a three to one slope or 414 00:32:50,799 --> 00:32:58,240 33 percent so any slope that's greater than a three to one or thirty three 415 00:32:55,919 --> 00:33:03,919 percent uh all new construction and development will have to be set back 416 00:33:00,399 --> 00:33:07,360 uh 15 meters uh from that slope of course recognizing that uh you know 417 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:11,360 this this is imposing a greater standard in 418 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:16,399 the proposed new bylaw we've included a 419 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:20,960 provision in the bylaw that will allow a lesser setback 420 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:25,679 without an amendment to the bylaw where it's approved by the municipality and in 421 00:33:22,799 --> 00:33:29,279 particular where sufficient technical and or survey and engineering 422 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:32,880 information is submitted to the town's engineering 423 00:33:31,279 --> 00:33:37,840 department for their review and approval and that 424 00:33:35,039 --> 00:33:43,120 would permit the municipality to approve a lesser setback 425 00:33:40,799 --> 00:33:46,880 storage containers are currently storage containers or sea 426 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:50,640 containers are currently prohibited in the township 427 00:33:49,519 --> 00:33:57,120 of tiny and the proposed bylaw will continue 428 00:33:54,240 --> 00:34:03,360 that pres that prohibition in all residential zones so uh storage 429 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:09,359 containers as uh storage structures uh will be prohibited in the new bylaw but 430 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:15,359 they will be permitted in other zones for personal use up to a maximum of 431 00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:18,399 three storage containers subject to the standard requirements for building 432 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:23,440 permits building fees development charges and of 433 00:34:21,119 --> 00:34:30,560 course compliance with all the relevant setbacks of the the appropriate zone 434 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:36,159 um temporary use of storage containers are permitted in residential zones but 435 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:40,960 associated with construction projects and as soon as the permit or the 436 00:34:37,839 --> 00:34:43,440 construction is complete uh the uh storage container will have to be 437 00:34:42,399 --> 00:34:49,040 removed but they are only permitted to exist on 438 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:52,240 the property up to a maximum of one year i know we had a question this afternoon 439 00:34:51,119 --> 00:34:56,960 about applications for the use of sea cans or 440 00:34:55,200 --> 00:35:01,680 storage containers for residential dwellings and if they 441 00:34:59,599 --> 00:35:05,760 are part of a building permit application 442 00:35:03,119 --> 00:35:10,000 they could be repurposed for that use 443 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:13,040 subject to the full requirement of the ontario building code and the zoning 444 00:35:11,839 --> 00:35:19,839 bylaw typically that would also require 445 00:35:15,839 --> 00:35:24,640 retaining a engineer to confirm you know the compliance of those 446 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:30,440 repurposed structures to the minimum requirements of the 447 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,440 ontario building code 448 00:35:31,839 --> 00:35:38,400 we've all been uh dealing with the new county waste bins 449 00:35:36,240 --> 00:35:42,960 um and in particular in a rural municipality like tiny 450 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:47,760 finding a locations of those that work for homeowners where they may 451 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:52,240 have longer driveways and where the homes are significantly set back 452 00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:55,599 from the roads themselves we've proposed new provisions in the 453 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:59,440 bylaw to permit encroachments into the 454 00:35:57,599 --> 00:36:04,320 required front yard to allow the construction of a storage 455 00:36:01,599 --> 00:36:08,000 structure uh to support this you know the 456 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:12,800 the keeping of these county waste bins and so a three meter 457 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:17,520 so this storage structure will be permitted within three meters of the 458 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:21,680 front lot line again not within the road allowance but on the private property 459 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:27,920 they need to be set back uh one meter from the side lot lines and a 460 00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:34,960 maximum size of five square meters uh is proposed in section 217 of the draft 461 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:38,720 by-law and we're looking for comments um on whether we've we've got these 462 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:43,599 proposed regulations right whether we need to make further refinements uh to 463 00:36:41,119 --> 00:36:46,960 recognize that we've gone to this new uh county waste bin system 464 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:54,320 you'll see much like the cannabis production 465 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:58,560 the draft bylaw has a placeholder for short-term rental regulations 466 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:03,359 and we will 467 00:36:59,839 --> 00:37:07,760 update the bylaw once council direction with respect to short-term rentals has 468 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:12,800 been provided for those of you that haven't been following along councils is 469 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:18,400 has established a specific task force who's been requested 470 00:37:15,599 --> 00:37:23,359 to develop a comprehensive response to short-term rentals and that task force 471 00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:28,079 includes local residents and members of council and staff as well 472 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:33,440 once the task force reports back to council 473 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:37,839 and the proposed direction both a policy and regulatory one 474 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:41,359 the bylaw will be updated based on those decisions of counsel 475 00:37:40,079 --> 00:37:44,640 and and 476 00:37:42,079 --> 00:37:48,800 appropriately amended to reflect those directions from council if you're 477 00:37:46,720 --> 00:37:51,839 looking for more information with respect to the short-term rental 478 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:57,119 work that's currently underway in the municipality uh we've provided the 479 00:37:55,040 --> 00:38:03,680 link to the in the municipalities website uh for short-term rentals 480 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:11,280 um there are two new zone categories the ep1 and ep2 in the 481 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:14,640 zoning bylaw the ep1 zone recognizes the 482 00:38:12,079 --> 00:38:19,359 provincially significant wetlands that are designated environmental protection 483 00:38:17,119 --> 00:38:24,960 in the new official plan the ep2 zone 484 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:31,599 includes all other evaluated wetlands in any other wetland uh in the municipality 485 00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:36,480 that is two hectares or greater for both of the ep1 and ep2 zones buildings and 486 00:38:34,240 --> 00:38:42,400 structures and site alteration are not permitted 487 00:38:38,240 --> 00:38:47,040 the ep2 zone does not have a specific setback that's required 488 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:51,440 to it there is a setback of i believe 30 meters to the ep1 zone that's contained 489 00:38:49,839 --> 00:38:55,359 in the draft bylaw and i think as jamie had indicated 490 00:38:53,119 --> 00:38:59,359 earlier we've included a provision in the bylaw that allows refinements to the 491 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:03,839 ep2 zone without amendment to the bylaw 492 00:39:01,599 --> 00:39:09,200 subject to sufficient information being submitted to the municipality and 493 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:13,200 the township approving that there is a new zoning 494 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:17,280 zone in the municipality that reflects the green lands 495 00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:23,440 designation in the official plan and that's the gl zone it excludes all the 496 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:27,680 wetlands that are contained within the greenland's designation but it includes 497 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:31,280 all other lands that are 498 00:39:28,720 --> 00:39:36,079 designated greenlands in the official plan and recognizing that this is a 499 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:39,359 major new initiative in the official plan 500 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:43,839 the official plan included 501 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:48,320 a limited range of uses that would be permitted as of right within the green 502 00:39:45,839 --> 00:39:53,520 land zone and that's what we've carried forward into the new zoning bylaw so the 503 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:58,079 gl zone permits and recognizes existing uses 504 00:39:54,720 --> 00:40:03,200 as legal uses and it would also permit the construction of new single detached 505 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:08,400 uh residential dwellings and accessory uses that go along with that residential 506 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:12,400 dwelling as of right within the gl zone 507 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:16,560 um one of the major changes with respect to 508 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:20,319 performance standards in the bylaw relates to the 509 00:40:17,839 --> 00:40:23,760 interior side yard setbacks particularly uh 510 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:27,359 in the shoreline residential zone where 511 00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:33,280 the new proposed interior side yard setback for new dwellings is three 512 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:38,480 meters on one side and 1.8 meters on the other side and that does not change 513 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:42,240 based on the number of stories if you're at all familiar with the existing bylaw 514 00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:46,079 you'll know that there's a step back provision that as the height of the 515 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:53,200 building increases you're required to be set back further from the uh the side 516 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:56,880 lot lines and we remove removed that for a number of reasons particularly 517 00:40:54,880 --> 00:41:00,960 because it was resulting in uh significant increases in height of 518 00:40:59,359 --> 00:41:04,079 dwellings within the within the shoreline area 519 00:41:02,319 --> 00:41:08,560 there is a provision in the proposed bylaw that would allow 520 00:41:05,839 --> 00:41:13,920 attached garages and card ports to encroach into the 1.8 meter side lot 521 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:18,319 line up to one meter subject to meeting the requirements of 522 00:41:16,319 --> 00:41:23,040 the zoning bylaw we've added new provisions to the bylaw 523 00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:27,839 to regulate the location of private sports courts uh in the municipality so 524 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:33,599 tennis courts pickleball courts basketball courts etc so this is a new 525 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:38,720 provision and there's a new definition and the requirement in the bylaw is that 526 00:41:36,319 --> 00:41:44,160 the location of new sports courts must meet the same setback standards 527 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:48,640 that are established for accessory structures within the applicable 528 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:52,880 zone and there's also some specific fencing and lighting 529 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:59,440 provisions related to private sports courts that are contained within the 530 00:41:56,079 --> 00:42:03,839 proposed bylaw as well as i indicated earlier one of the issues 531 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:07,200 that we identified in the review of the current bylaw in particular a review of 532 00:42:06,240 --> 00:42:12,079 the historic minor variances and building 533 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:14,400 permits was that the height of buildings was 534 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:20,160 particularly in the shoreline area was beginning to creep up 535 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:23,920 and so the current bylaw defines maximum building height as the midpoint between 536 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:29,040 the peak and eaves of the of the slanted or sloped roof 537 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:34,800 structure and what we've uh what we've proposed in the for in the new bylaw 538 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:39,839 is to define maximum highest the highest point of the roof structure which we 539 00:42:37,119 --> 00:42:44,160 think is uh complementary to some of the other changes that we've made in the 540 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:49,119 bylaw that will help control uh the massing and built form of structures 541 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:52,640 within the shoreline area uh in the municipality 542 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:57,440 so that's our uh very brief uh presentation which i think 543 00:42:55,760 --> 00:43:01,760 captures some of the main major new items in the bylaw and 544 00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:06,720 the highlights of the bylaw the next steps in this process 545 00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:10,800 we're looking for in addition to the comments that we'll be uh considering 546 00:43:09,599 --> 00:43:15,200 shortly but comments can continue to be 547 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:20,520 submitted to the municipality by march 17th and those that are 548 00:43:18,079 --> 00:43:23,680 submitted to the new zoning bylaw at tiny.ca 549 00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:28,800 email address those will be considered when we look at 550 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:33,119 the first draft first public draft of the bylaw and consider further 551 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:37,839 refinements to it that will lead us to prepare a what we 552 00:43:35,839 --> 00:43:42,640 heard report and recommended revisions to the draft by law that will then go to 553 00:43:40,240 --> 00:43:47,280 council for their instructions and directions to the project team 554 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:51,280 the next step of the process obviously is the scheduling of the statutory 555 00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:56,319 public meeting where additional public input and comments can be received and 556 00:43:53,839 --> 00:44:02,160 then the last step of the process is to prepare the bylaw for consideration uh 557 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:07,280 and passing by council so uh i think that wraps up the 558 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:12,160 presentation sean just a reminder to everybody the uh the 559 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:19,040 email address for the project is listed here uh the project web page and the the 560 00:44:15,839 --> 00:44:24,720 web page address is located here as well and if you want to continue to receive 561 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:30,400 and you haven't done it yet uh go to tinyconnect and include the new tiny 562 00:44:27,839 --> 00:44:34,880 zoning bylaws one of your preferences so that any notice and all notices with 563 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:38,560 respect to the news on new zoning bylaw project will be 564 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:44,079 provided to you through that that 565 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:48,640 service at the tiny connect service so i think that's it sean for the formal 566 00:44:46,240 --> 00:44:53,839 presentation and we're ready for the questions and comments 567 00:44:51,599 --> 00:44:57,920 that's great uh thanks wes and jamie for that presentation um 568 00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:01,839 so what we're going to do now is we're going to go through each one of the 569 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:04,800 questions if there if there's some questions i 570 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:08,400 notice there's a lot of questions a lot of interest in the first session too 571 00:45:06,240 --> 00:45:12,400 with regards to backyard chickens and why there are uh no provisions in the 572 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:16,400 new biola with regards to that west did touch on that so we will uh the first 573 00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:19,680 question here deals with that but if we're if we're answering the same 574 00:45:17,839 --> 00:45:23,119 question we will we'll skip over the same ones 575 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:25,839 um similarly quest mentioned with regards to the short-term rental i know 576 00:45:24,720 --> 00:45:28,560 there's a lot of interest in the township right now with regards to that 577 00:45:27,599 --> 00:45:33,280 issue and uh that task force is working 578 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:36,319 towards um making recommendations to council on that so we're not going to be 579 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:39,520 answering specific questions on the church and rental 580 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:42,880 task force and the work that they're doing 581 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:45,359 we just recommend folks that they uh go to the 582 00:45:43,839 --> 00:45:50,240 short-term rental web page that the township has which has 583 00:45:47,599 --> 00:45:54,160 all the agendas the minutes and all the live stream um 584 00:45:52,240 --> 00:45:57,359 youtube feed for all the meetings and all the information can be found in one 585 00:45:55,599 --> 00:46:01,040 location there so okay so i'll start off 586 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:04,000 first question i would like to know why the results of 587 00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:07,680 the public survey are being cherry picked specifically why are the 68 588 00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:11,040 percent of residents in favor of backyard chickens being dismissed when 589 00:46:09,359 --> 00:46:15,440 other favorable survey results are being proceeded with included in the draft by 590 00:46:13,359 --> 00:46:19,119 law updates requiring residents to further demonstrate their support by 591 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:22,400 email seems unjust in the ways of both residence time and township resources 592 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:25,440 wes you touched on this a little bit in the presentation as to the reasons why 593 00:46:24,079 --> 00:46:28,720 we didn't include it so maybe if you just want to reiterate that and then 594 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:32,480 provide any other information with regard to that 595 00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:36,079 um i see a number of other questions with regards to the backyard chicken so 596 00:46:34,079 --> 00:46:43,200 this will be uh we'll prove we'll try to provide a fulsome uh response here sure 597 00:46:39,119 --> 00:46:48,400 thanks sean um if uh if anyone had a chance to review 598 00:46:46,079 --> 00:46:53,680 the earlier uh reports that were prepared as part of this process 599 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:58,480 we identified a number of issues with uh with respect to the backyard chickens 600 00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:03,440 and we did recommend to council that if they 601 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:08,480 wanted to proceed with a backyard chicken or urban chicken 602 00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:15,200 program that they may want to consider a temporary use bylaw approach 603 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:19,200 and a regulatory or licensing bylaw approach as well as an option to 604 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:24,240 consider we felt based on 605 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:29,119 our environmental scan our review of what what's happening out there in other 606 00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:33,520 municipalities and what other you know the concerns if you will 607 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:39,040 with respect to backyard chickens that we would not include it um in the draft 608 00:47:36,240 --> 00:47:42,880 by law at this time but that's subject to 609 00:47:40,079 --> 00:47:45,119 public review and comment and continued support 610 00:47:44,079 --> 00:47:48,319 for the request that we would go back to 611 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:52,400 council and seek their direction instructions as 612 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:57,200 to how they want to proceed do they want to proceed by way of 613 00:47:54,960 --> 00:48:00,960 including it in this by-law do they want to include as we originally had 614 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:05,760 recommended to include it in a temporary use by-law approach and 615 00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:10,559 licensing bylaw approach all of these would require 616 00:48:09,119 --> 00:48:13,200 concurrent amendments to the municipalities 617 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:17,680 and sean i'm going to call it the livestock bylaw 618 00:48:15,359 --> 00:48:23,280 but there's another bylaw that currently regulates the keeping of livestock 619 00:48:20,559 --> 00:48:28,400 in residential zones in the municipality and it would require amendments to that 620 00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:32,480 bylaw as well if council choose to uh to go that route and so 621 00:48:30,559 --> 00:48:36,319 you know the purpose of this public meeting 622 00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:43,200 is to test the proposal within the new zoning bylaw 623 00:48:40,079 --> 00:48:49,599 to get public comment and input on it and if the direction is is clear then 624 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:53,599 we'll we'll discuss this with council and seek their further instructions on 625 00:48:51,599 --> 00:48:59,359 how they want us to proceed it's not been uh you know it's not being 626 00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:02,800 eliminated if you will um at this point it's just not been included in this 627 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:06,559 draft by law and uh subject to the comments from the 628 00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:11,520 public we'll uh we'll uh canvas council and see where 629 00:49:08,720 --> 00:49:11,520 they want us to go 630 00:49:12,079 --> 00:49:18,800 thanks for that uh fulsome response west actually just want to note just doing 631 00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:22,559 this canada participants although this is not a council meeting we do have a 632 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:26,720 member of council with us this evening 633 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:30,480 counselor cindy hastings is in attendance 634 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:33,839 um listening to the conversation and the and the questions and answers so thank 635 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:38,000 you councillor hastings for joining us tonight um we also have our chief 636 00:49:36,079 --> 00:49:42,800 municipal law enforcement officer stephen harvey he's the one that's 637 00:49:40,079 --> 00:49:46,800 tasked with enforcing this bylaw once it um is enforced in effect and he's also 638 00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:51,680 uh listening to the questions and answers so thank you uh 639 00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:56,640 mr harvey for joining us as well um next question um if i type in plan 83 640 00:49:55,520 --> 00:50:00,559 park heartland 325 641 00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:04,240 um i can answer that i think what this question is referring to is um 642 00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:10,480 searching the interactive zoning map by typing in 643 00:50:07,599 --> 00:50:14,400 a legal description that that is not an option when you're when you're searching 644 00:50:12,319 --> 00:50:18,240 a property there's only two options one is to type in 645 00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:22,800 the address of the property and like i noted in the demonstration if 646 00:50:21,119 --> 00:50:27,119 if there is no address of the property you can type in 647 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:30,480 the roll number and you can find the roll number 648 00:50:28,720 --> 00:50:35,200 on your tax bill it's the number that starts with 4368 649 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:41,559 and then it's quite a long number but if you type that in 650 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:41,559 the tool will bring you to the property 651 00:50:44,240 --> 00:50:50,079 okay here's a question um we have another one on buy kirk chickens 652 00:50:47,839 --> 00:50:55,200 i'll just uh i'll just bypass that one based on west's response 653 00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:59,920 are there any disadvantages drawbacks when we live at a lot now greenbelt 654 00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:03,520 which will be declared ep 2 under the new bylaw 655 00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:08,000 there will still be all town services etc it would just not be possible to 656 00:51:06,079 --> 00:51:10,640 build any new structure in the future question mark 657 00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:16,240 do you want me to take that one jamie 658 00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:22,119 um so uh 659 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:28,720 the one um unique things about zoning bylaws is 660 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:33,200 that they don't act retroactively so if you have an existing 661 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:37,920 property with existing buildings and structures on that property if the 662 00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:42,800 property is rezoned to ep2 663 00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:47,599 then your existing structures would be legal non-conforming and or legal 664 00:51:45,119 --> 00:51:51,200 non-complying and they would continue to be permitted 665 00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:55,839 on the property we indicated in the presentation that 666 00:51:54,240 --> 00:52:01,839 recognizing that uh that through the official plan in the 667 00:51:58,240 --> 00:52:06,640 zoning by-law is not an exact science of defining 668 00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:11,520 the location of the ep1 or the ep2 zone lines that we've included a provision 669 00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:15,839 that allows some refinement of those lines in particular the ep2 line 670 00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:20,559 through you know the production of additional 671 00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:25,839 information or site inspections i know sean and his team is working with the 672 00:52:22,720 --> 00:52:30,839 seven sound environmental association on um the process and procedure for how the 673 00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:36,800 municipality will uh allow and undertake the refinements 674 00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:41,440 of the ep2 zones so it's not necessarily that 675 00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:45,920 you would not be permitted to construct a new structure 676 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:50,160 but there would need to be a direct discussion with the municipality uh 677 00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:55,599 around those questions um and i'm gonna suggest janine that 678 00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:59,040 you know if you can send us an email to the 679 00:52:56,319 --> 00:53:04,640 new tiny bylaw at uh a new zoning bylaw at tiny.ca 680 00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:08,319 with a specific address for the property we can look into it a little bit further 681 00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:12,839 and provide you a more a more detailed response with respect to 682 00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:18,240 your particular property thanks wes next question is how 683 00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:21,040 or why does an area acquire the ep2 standard 684 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:24,319 is it possible to know what exactly is being protected and boundaries of the 685 00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:27,359 area i can take this question so just similar to what wes was just talking 686 00:53:25,839 --> 00:53:30,640 about maybe just a little bit of background when we when when the 687 00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:34,319 township prepared new official plan 688 00:53:32,240 --> 00:53:38,160 we had the severance sound environmental association 689 00:53:35,839 --> 00:53:43,760 um prepare a comprehensive natural heritage study which mapped 690 00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:50,800 all features um including significant woodlands significant valley lands 691 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:54,559 um and um as well as other wetlands uh which is which is a specific direction 692 00:53:53,040 --> 00:54:00,480 from the province um for us to map 693 00:53:56,640 --> 00:54:04,400 those specific areas so there's two ep categories there's an ep1 which is a 694 00:54:02,559 --> 00:54:07,920 provincially significant woodland that mapping comes specifically from the 695 00:54:06,319 --> 00:54:11,839 province to the ministry of natural resources 696 00:54:09,119 --> 00:54:16,800 and then the ep2 zone that specifically relates to the other 697 00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:19,680 wetlands and that was done through uh aerial image 698 00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:22,160 interpretation and 699 00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,920 and and review so 700 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:29,040 you know i we know that we didn't get all of those 701 00:54:26,319 --> 00:54:35,040 ep 2 zones correct and that's why we've set up a refinement process that does 702 00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:40,079 not require owners to do site-specific zoning amendments to 703 00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:44,880 refine that ep 2 zone category for example if an ep2 zone 704 00:54:43,599 --> 00:54:49,200 is on somebody's 705 00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:55,119 landscape lawn and it's very clear that it's incorrect refinements can be made 706 00:54:51,359 --> 00:54:55,119 to correct those situations 707 00:54:55,440 --> 00:55:04,960 um next question our property is on gl is it buildable 708 00:55:01,839 --> 00:55:11,839 you want me to take that or sure so the zoning bylaw if if you have 709 00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:16,880 a look at the permitted uses table in the zoning bilo under gl which is 710 00:55:14,079 --> 00:55:20,079 greenlands it does identify that there that a 711 00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:24,240 a dwelling unit is a permitted use on those existing vacant lots so there is 712 00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:29,920 an opportunity within that within a vacant lot that's current that's 713 00:55:25,839 --> 00:55:35,079 proposed to be sewn gl to construct your dwelling and 714 00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:35,079 accessory buildings on them 715 00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:42,079 thanks jamie you have another backyard question 716 00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:45,730 backyard chicken question but i believe that that's been answered at this point 717 00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:48,400 um [Music] 718 00:55:47,359 --> 00:55:53,599 here's one why is there no wellhead protection for 719 00:55:51,119 --> 00:55:56,559 the aquifer providing water to shoreline areas 720 00:55:54,799 --> 00:56:01,040 maybe i'll take that just because i was involved with the source protection 721 00:55:58,559 --> 00:56:05,920 implementation documents so specifically what's included 722 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:09,599 in the wellhead protection areas is specifically related to municipal 723 00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:13,599 drinking water supplies and the reason that a reason for that is 724 00:56:12,559 --> 00:56:17,760 that the 725 00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:21,599 legislation so the clean water act specifically applies to municipal 726 00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:26,799 drinking water supplies it doesn't apply to individual wells 727 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:30,799 so what we've done is really here implement the official planned policies 728 00:56:29,119 --> 00:56:36,799 and the official planned mapping that relates to source water protection so 729 00:56:34,240 --> 00:56:41,200 that's that's the the short and the long answer of it is it's municipal water 730 00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:45,040 supplies and it's it flows from the um 731 00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:48,319 from the clean water act through the source protection plan 732 00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:51,280 into the official plan and then ultimately implemented through the bile 733 00:56:50,559 --> 00:56:54,960 so it's a municipal drinking water supply 734 00:56:53,119 --> 00:56:59,040 issue thanks jamie 735 00:56:56,400 --> 00:57:04,720 next question can you please define what gross floor area is 736 00:57:02,079 --> 00:57:10,119 i'll take this one if i can sean uh i can refer uh justine to 737 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:15,839 page 7109 of the draft bylaw 738 00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:20,880 and this is in the letter f section of the by-law 739 00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:25,119 unfortunately there are actually three terms that are 740 00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:31,200 related to floor area and so you'll find the definition for floor area gross or 741 00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:35,040 gross floor area in that section on that page of the bylaw 742 00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:38,000 take a look at it there are three different terms for floor area and 743 00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:40,880 there's different ground 744 00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:44,000 a gross floor area so take a look at those 745 00:57:41,839 --> 00:57:49,760 janine and if you have any further questions after you've looked at at that 746 00:57:46,799 --> 00:57:52,559 let us know please thanks wes 747 00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:56,559 next question i may have missed a session in your presentation regarding 748 00:57:54,319 --> 00:57:59,920 beach ownership and beach property lines thank you for your apply 749 00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:05,040 so i can take this um so we we actually didn't uh 750 00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:09,680 didn't speak to beach ownership and beach property lines in this in the 751 00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:13,440 presentation because it's not it's not an issue or it's not it's not an item 752 00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:18,400 that's dealt with in the zoning while the zoning pilot does not um define 753 00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:22,799 boundaries of properties that's that's that's illegal 754 00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:26,799 um that's a legal matter the zoning biola only deals with land use 755 00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:32,720 anything else to add to that jamie or wes 756 00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:37,200 no just the oh i guess the only thing would be that if someone's interested in 757 00:58:34,839 --> 00:58:41,440 understanding which property line is their front property line or their rear 758 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:47,040 property line or interior side property line there's specific definitions 759 00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:51,599 in the bylaw that that refer to and you'd go to lot line first so it says 760 00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:56,400 lot line front lot line side lot line rear and from that you can determine 761 00:58:54,160 --> 00:59:00,960 what your required setbacks are for accessory buildings and principal 762 00:58:57,839 --> 00:59:06,480 buildings and the illustrations in the user's guide at the bylaw that shows you 763 00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:11,280 in relation to a number of different typical lots 764 00:59:07,839 --> 00:59:16,559 where the front rear side etc of the property is good point yes 765 00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:19,280 thanks guys i'm back backyard chicken question which 766 00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:24,400 i'll if we've answered you have a short term 767 00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:29,280 rental question again

advise how this newly included overlay 772 00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:53,520 will impact the property owner's ability to obtain a building permit and install 773 00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:58,400 a septic system suitable for residential purposes 774 00:59:56,079 --> 01:00:03,359 i can take that um so the 775 01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:06,880 the mapping that's included within the source protection 776 01:00:04,799 --> 01:00:11,119 planning documents and then implemented through the zoning bylaw 777 01:00:08,799 --> 01:00:15,040 is uh is not focused on residential 778 01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:18,880 development it's focused on non-residential development and 779 01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:22,240 non-residential uses so your ability to obtain a septic 780 01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:26,400 system permit uh provided it complies with the ontario 781 01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:30,960 building code it wouldn't affect your ability to obtain a septic system and 782 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:35,680 we've jamie we've included a very specific provision which comes right out 783 01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:39,520 of the source protection plan that says for lots of record that exist on the 784 01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:43,280 date of the approval of the source protection plan 785 01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:46,720 a small on-site sewage system is permitted 786 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:49,520 so that that's reflected in the proposed bylaw as well 787 01:00:50,559 --> 01:00:56,000 perfect thanks guys 788 01:00:52,640 --> 01:01:00,880 um next question what is our u zone mean i can take that 789 01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:05,280 uh the ru zone is the rural zone and uh that that would be that would be 790 01:01:03,119 --> 01:01:10,880 mapped in compliance with the official plan also being rural so 791 01:01:08,079 --> 01:01:15,280 if you're interested in seeing the permitted uses or zone standards 792 01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:21,520 um in the ru zone please um review the text 793 01:01:19,359 --> 01:01:25,720 uh of the of the zoning bylaw if you have any questions please let us know 794 01:01:27,119 --> 01:01:32,160 referring to the notice of today's meeting would you currently provide 795 01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:36,640 complete clarity around what one needs to do in order to preserve the right to 796 01:01:34,559 --> 01:01:41,119 appeal the new zoning bylaw or become party to an appeal where one has no need 797 01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:45,520 to comment on the current draft there may be a need to comment on subsequent 798 01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:48,720 draft when short-term accommodation provisions are included 799 01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:55,760 so in order to preserve your appeal rights 800 01:01:53,280 --> 01:02:00,000 uh one would have to comment on the zoning bylaw it could be the first draft 801 01:01:57,839 --> 01:02:03,920 it could be the second draft it could be at any point leading up to and including 802 01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:08,720 the public meeting uh what is also important however which 803 01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:13,599 has changed is that in order to be notified of the decision of counsel with 804 01:02:11,039 --> 01:02:17,839 respect to the bylaw an individual has to specifically request to be notified 805 01:02:16,079 --> 01:02:21,119 of that decision so if it's if you want to be notified of 806 01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:26,720 this decision you should make that request to uh 807 01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:31,359 um to either the the web page or to the clerk that uh you would like to be 808 01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:34,799 notified of that this specific decision so 809 01:02:32,799 --> 01:02:38,480 to summarize as long as you provide comments throughout the process you 810 01:02:36,319 --> 01:02:43,680 would have the ability to appeal thanks jamie so just to be clear 811 01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:48,799 robert doesn't need to provide comment on this draft craft one if there's no 812 01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:54,400 need to but future draft if he would like to he should provide 813 01:02:51,119 --> 01:02:54,400 comments on that draft 814 01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:57,760 perfect thank you 815 01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:04,799 um i was unable to hear the answer provided to my question when i was um 816 01:03:03,039 --> 01:03:08,559 will i be able to receive access to answers video for a few follow-up any 817 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:12,720 objections great question we had this in the first session as well 818 01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:17,359 what we're going to try to do is have both recordings of the first and second 819 01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:22,240 presentation available on the project page 820 01:03:18,559 --> 01:03:22,240 so that they're available to the public 821 01:03:27,359 --> 01:03:35,119 okay backyard chickens i think i just want to speak to one 822 01:03:33,039 --> 01:03:39,200 point there it was like oh sure it was an item that just i think one poor 823 01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:43,280 portion of that was why have they not received any comments on the comments 824 01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:47,520 that have been provided so an individual's provided feedback on the 825 01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:51,680 process and they haven't got a response to their comment 826 01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:55,520 just in terms of how this process typically unfolds is 827 01:03:54,720 --> 01:04:00,079 that individual responses to each comment 828 01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:04,079 aren't provided as they come in however 829 01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:08,240 what we are undertaking is preparing a comment summary table that outlines all 830 01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:12,640 the comments that are provided in writing through this process 831 01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:17,280 provides a response to those comments and that gets included 832 01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:21,359 in the staff report that ultimately goes along with the bylaw to counsel so 833 01:04:20,079 --> 01:04:24,880 there's a clear understanding of the relationship 834 01:04:23,039 --> 01:04:28,000 between the comments and how they've been considered and 835 01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:32,720 ultimately what changes have been made are not made with respect to the bylaws 836 01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:36,880 so you shouldn't expect a comment a reply to every email that you send in on 837 01:04:34,799 --> 01:04:40,240 this but you're you can we can assure you that they're being 838 01:04:38,319 --> 01:04:44,400 tracked and they're being included in a comment summary table thanks jamie and 839 01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:49,520 just just for everybody's knowledge when once once you submit a comment 840 01:04:46,799 --> 01:04:53,119 um to the to the uh project email address you will get an auto response 841 01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:58,400 which means we've received it and it will be included in the review 842 01:04:55,280 --> 01:05:03,960 if it's a question or clarification you will get a response back from us on 843 01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:03,960 those types of questions 844 01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:16,720 um next question uh why are tourist establishments not permitted in 845 01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:16,720 shoreline zones 846 01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:23,599 you want me to take that one jamie um 847 01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:26,559 so the uh 848 01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:31,599 tourist establishments as defined by the zoning bylaw existing 849 01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:37,760 ones are recognized uh within the proposed new bylaw 850 01:05:35,039 --> 01:05:43,119 but the establishment of new ones um the policy framework is set out in 851 01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:48,880 the official plan and it would require an application to amend the zoning bylaw 852 01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:53,280 to establish new tourist establishments in the municipality through that 853 01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:56,000 application process and in accordance with the policy guidance that's 854 01:05:54,880 --> 01:06:02,240 contained within the official plan so we're 855 01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:06,319 typically not in the habit of pre-zoning properties for 856 01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:10,720 new uses it is an application driven process and it would be up to the 857 01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:17,160 property owner to determine whether they wanted to proceed 858 01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:17,160 with an application of that basis 859 01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:22,559 thanks wes 860 01:06:23,119 --> 01:06:29,599 the township's new official plan states conditions for a second dwelling unit 861 01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:34,000 however none of the restrictions contained in the township's new zonium 862 01:06:31,599 --> 01:06:37,440 biologists section 2.2 are contained here 863 01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,440 why 864 01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:46,400 i will take take that 865 01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:51,599 so in terms of second dwelling units the op does the sort of the official 866 01:06:48,799 --> 01:06:56,559 plan does contain policies that provide some direction to the zoning bylaw 867 01:06:54,079 --> 01:07:00,559 uh the zoning bylaw does include in section 2.2 868 01:06:58,559 --> 01:07:04,960 a number of um a number of regulations that do apply to 869 01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:07,680 secondary dwelling units or accessories sorry 870 01:07:05,839 --> 01:07:11,760 additional dwelling units i keep getting that terminology mixed out but it's 871 01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:15,359 additional dwelling units so there is a number of 872 01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:20,240 restrictions and and limitations included in the zoning model 873 01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:23,760 that flow from those greater greater policies in the official plan 874 01:07:27,119 --> 01:07:32,799 we do have a question about another one about backyard chickens they 875 01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:36,400 specifically ask about um what the concerns are around backyard chickens 876 01:07:34,799 --> 01:07:41,599 wes i believe you touched upon that already uh with regards to to that 877 01:07:39,839 --> 01:07:46,240 sure and just to 878 01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:49,280 list if you will the concerns that were identified based on 879 01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:53,760 our best practices review 880 01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:57,839 questions around legal non-conforming use 881 01:07:55,039 --> 01:08:02,400 agricultural community concerns animal disease 882 01:07:59,359 --> 01:08:08,319 costs public health and groundwater concerns one of the things that we found 883 01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:11,839 very clearly in our review was that many of the municipalities that were 884 01:08:10,079 --> 01:08:17,040 permitting backyard chickens like guelph toronto 885 01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:21,839 kitchener were municipalities that were provided with full municipal water and 886 01:08:20,319 --> 01:08:25,359 full municipal sewers 887 01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:28,319 and obviously tiny not having that 888 01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:32,319 benefit relies on groundwater 889 01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:36,000 for all of its 890 01:08:33,679 --> 01:08:39,920 you know drinking water supply both municipal systems and private systems 891 01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:44,319 and obviously concerns about allowing 892 01:08:42,480 --> 01:08:47,199 additional you know 893 01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:51,279 backyard chickens if you will in residential zones particularly where 894 01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:56,080 the lots are smaller you know the lots are side by side there 895 01:08:53,600 --> 01:09:01,040 was a potential concern for uh groundwater impacts and those were part 896 01:08:58,159 --> 01:09:05,600 of the thinking uh why at least at this point we had not included it as a 897 01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:09,679 general permission in the proposed new bylaw but again 898 01:09:07,440 --> 01:09:14,080 um subject to community and public input 899 01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:18,839 it is something that we will go back to council with and seek their instruction 900 01:09:16,719 --> 01:09:23,759 and direction as to how they want to proceed thanks wes 901 01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:28,480 uh the next one's with regards to a short-term rental question again um 902 01:09:26,719 --> 01:09:31,359 this is uh something we're just we're not we're not dealing with tonight 903 01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:37,199 that's not the purpose of tonight's meeting but we will get because 904 01:09:34,719 --> 01:09:39,839 specifically working on that project 905 01:09:40,159 --> 01:09:47,400 next question can blue water beach dunes be declared as zone ep2 906 01:09:49,279 --> 01:09:55,760 i can maybe take that question um 907 01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:59,760 ep 2 zone currently as sean mentioned reflects other wetlands 908 01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:04,000 that's not to say it couldn't include other environmental features so if that 909 01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:09,040 if there are features that individuals would like included in 910 01:10:06,159 --> 01:10:12,800 in um in the ep 2 zone they can certainly provide comments to that 911 01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:17,280 effect and we could review those comments and 912 01:10:14,239 --> 01:10:22,640 and consider uh whether they whether it would be appropriate or not to include 913 01:10:20,159 --> 01:10:26,080 those features i like we can't provide you with an absolute yes or no tonight 914 01:10:24,719 --> 01:10:28,640 but it's certainly something that we could look at 915 01:10:29,440 --> 01:10:32,080 thanks jamie 916 01:10:37,679 --> 01:10:45,840 isn't putting a fence into the water a bylaw issue and should be included into 917 01:10:42,239 --> 01:10:45,840 the zoning by law 918 01:10:49,679 --> 01:10:57,440 who wants to take that yeah that's a really good question and 919 01:10:55,520 --> 01:11:02,239 i don't have a quick answer for that one that may be one that we actually have to 920 01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:06,159 think about some more and and provide our response 921 01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:10,800 um at a later stage certainly the new bylaw 922 01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:15,040 is including provisions for the first time for uh 923 01:11:13,440 --> 01:11:18,000 docks and boat lifts 924 01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:23,199 um but is offensive structure is a fence 925 01:11:20,159 --> 01:11:25,600 something that's uh particularly uh in the 926 01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:28,560 you know that's located in the water is that something that's regulated by the 927 01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:32,400 zoning violence something i i don't have a quick answer for sean 928 01:11:30,239 --> 01:11:36,800 unfortunately okay thanks i can just confirm that some bylaws do 929 01:11:34,719 --> 01:11:41,520 include provisions related defense but often it's left to offense by law which 930 01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:46,560 is enacted under the munis black but certainly something as west mentioned 931 01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:49,199 could be uh or should be looked at in more detail 932 01:11:52,719 --> 01:12:00,239 yeah i can't confirm that the current donating by law deals with the height of 933 01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:04,640 a fence not not not with regards to the specific 934 01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:08,480 um location on the property unless we're in the wall and not in water not in the 935 01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:11,280 water yeah where we don't have jurisdiction 936 01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:23,480 uh were detached dwellings not allowed on the previous ep2 lands that are now 937 01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:23,480 zone gl 938 01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:33,280 so maybe i can answer that question um so if if you if you had a property 939 01:12:30,480 --> 01:12:37,360 that was previously zoned if we didn't have an ep we don't have an 940 01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:42,080 ep2 zone in the current bylaw we have an ep-1 zone in the current file uh 941 01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:47,360 the current ep1 zone in the current bylaw deals with all wetlands 942 01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:51,520 um and and and through the detailed mapping that was done through the seven 943 01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:57,199 sovereignty environmental association it's true that additional lands have now 944 01:12:54,400 --> 01:13:01,360 been zoned with an ep but i will say that there are other properties in the 945 01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:06,159 township that were historically zoned ep-1 that are now zoned green lands 946 01:13:04,159 --> 01:13:11,280 because it was determined that there's no wetland feature on those properties 947 01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:16,239 so in the in the current bylaw if you have a property that's ep one and you 948 01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:21,440 cannot you would not be allowed to build a dwelling if you're going to be zoned 949 01:13:19,199 --> 01:13:27,560 gl or greenland and then you buy a lot you would be allowed 950 01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:27,560 to build a dwelling on that property 951 01:13:36,719 --> 01:13:42,880 okay here's a question uh one last question is it possible to 952 01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:49,040 have our property excluded from the zoning change or is there nothing we can 953 01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:53,920 do and then in brackets from green belt to green lands and mostly ep2 954 01:13:55,040 --> 01:14:00,320 maybe i'll respond to that one uh sean 955 01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:07,920 jeanine submits comments to the website and very specifically asks us to look at 956 01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:12,320 the zoning of the property we can do that as part of this process 957 01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:15,760 right now obviously we're guided by the 958 01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:20,640 designations in the new official plan that's been recently approved uh finally 959 01:14:18,239 --> 01:14:26,480 approved by the county in december of last year um but based on uh you know 960 01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:29,840 the comments that we receive we can look at it and see whether there's some 961 01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:34,480 refinement that can happen at this stage in the process 962 01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:37,040 and just to that point it may be helpful if 963 01:14:35,199 --> 01:14:42,080 you could provide some evidence to the effect of why it shouldn't be included 964 01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:47,520 as ep2 for example if you've got photographic evidence or or certain any 965 01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:52,640 information you can provide that details what what you believe a more appropriate 966 01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:55,840 zone should be for that person thanks jimmy 967 01:14:53,840 --> 01:15:00,320 yeah just just just another point with this one if it's if your property is 968 01:14:58,159 --> 01:15:05,600 currently his own green belt um it will be likely going to green 969 01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:08,800 lands that's not that that that that is in compliance with the new official plan 970 01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:12,560 because the new official plan does not have a green 971 01:15:10,719 --> 01:15:16,239 belt designation um 972 01:15:13,440 --> 01:15:20,640 uh but it has a green lands designation um but if yeah please send us an email 973 01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:23,679 with regards to any information you have with regard to the ep 974 01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:27,679 because like i said earlier we didn't get all of them correct and 975 01:15:25,679 --> 01:15:31,920 there is a refinement process we can and if we can deal with it before the bile 976 01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:34,920 has passed then we can definitely do that 977 01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:48,320 some more questions comments about backyard trick is we definitely got a 978 01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:52,560 lot of comments in the first session about that dude so please please send an 979 01:15:50,480 --> 01:15:57,280 email to our project webpage and we'll definitely include those comments to 980 01:15:54,159 --> 01:15:57,280 capital and report back 981 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:06,520 where do i find regulations on boat lifts showing up on the shoreline 982 01:16:07,199 --> 01:16:13,360 so so that's section 2.4 983 01:16:10,719 --> 01:16:17,679 of the draft bylaw and if you go to the project website on the municipalities 984 01:16:16,250 --> 01:16:21,440 [Music] website 985 01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:26,080 you can download a copy of the of the proposed bylaw and if you look in 986 01:16:23,440 --> 01:16:32,120 section 2.4 docs and boatlift regulations are 987 01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:32,120 contained in there 988 01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:40,560 thanks wes down to our last question if you have 989 01:16:38,480 --> 01:16:43,760 any other questions please uh please type them in now 990 01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:48,640 um on your map earlier you wrote homes that 991 01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:55,040 were built with apartments prior to 1977 is this grandfather in and can the 992 01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:55,040 apartment be a rental can you clarify 993 01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:04,239 i think that might be helpful to have us to maybe provide provide 994 01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:09,360 us with an email with the specifics around this that specific one 995 01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:14,719 but just generally speaking um if this bylaw is approved with the 996 01:17:12,159 --> 01:17:20,239 new um legal non-conforming non-complying date of 1977 997 01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:22,080 if you if if an owner can prove that a use 998 01:17:21,199 --> 01:17:27,600 um is as existent before that date it would 999 01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:33,280 be considered grandfathered and yet sorry and it continued it can't 1000 01:17:31,679 --> 01:17:37,440 just have existed it would need to have been a continuous use 1001 01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:43,440 correct yes thanks jamie sean just to to add to that 1002 01:17:41,199 --> 01:17:46,239 where the zoning is resolved so for example if the 1003 01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:48,800 use was determined to be legal non-conforming 1004 01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:53,199 and continued 1005 01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:57,120 it may be recognized by the new by-law but to make it fully legal you may need 1006 01:17:55,199 --> 01:18:01,440 to get the appropriate permits under the ontario building code to bring that unit 1007 01:17:59,679 --> 01:18:06,560 in compliance with the minimum safety standards for rental accommodation 1008 01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:10,400 so that may be something that through that additional email we can 1009 01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:16,000 provide a more detailed response yeah thank you 1010 01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:16,000 very much wes good point 1011 01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:26,320 we have no more questions um wes maybe while we're just wrapping 1012 01:18:24,239 --> 01:18:30,400 up if you want to share your screen and just show the um 1013 01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:34,480 the project um 1014 01:18:32,239 --> 01:18:41,640 email address for everybody just as a follow-up so we can get all questions 1015 01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:41,640 going to to the correct spot 1016 01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:51,040 so the email address is new zoning bylaw at tiny.ca 1017 01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:56,000 i just see another question coming with regards to backyard chickens so if if uh 1018 01:18:54,080 --> 01:19:01,120 paulette if you've already uh emailed us with regards to the to 1019 01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:05,760 this

waterfront owner wants to build new decks close to 1024 01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:25,840 water there's bile on setbacks so why won't fencing be considered in the bylaw 1025 01:19:24,239 --> 01:19:29,120 rules so it's definitely something like wes 1026 01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:32,560 and jamie have said that we're going to work that's something that we will 1027 01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:35,840 review and
