As presented, mover, Mr. MacArthur, Mr. Barodarek, thank you very much.

11
00:01:54,770 --> 00:01:55,850
Any questions on the agenda?

12
00:01:57,230 --> 00:01:58,830
Seeing none, I'll call the motion all in favor.

13
00:01:59,470 --> 00:02:00,870
That carries unanimous, thank you.

14
00:02:01,470 --> 00:02:06,810
At this time, I'll ask for council, is there any declarations of pecuniary interest in regards to the items on today's agenda?

15
00:02:07,690 --> 00:02:10,650
Seeing none, if anything comes up during the meeting, please bring it forward at that time.

16
00:02:11,310 --> 00:02:14,010
So, council, we're going to move to our public meeting, which is item number three.

17
00:02:14,670 --> 00:02:25,730
We do have the first item that will be presented and proceeded by our deputy mayor, Paul Van Staffern, who will, of course, carry the meeting for the public meeting portion.

18
00:02:25,990 --> 00:02:28,970
So at this time, I'll turn the meeting over to Paul Van Staffern.

19
00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:29,410
Thank you.

20
00:02:29,850 --> 00:02:30,730
Thank you, Your Worship.

21
00:02:31,490 --> 00:02:35,550
And we will now initiate the public meeting portion of tonight's agenda.

22
00:02:35,970 --> 00:02:41,050
We invite you to comment on the applications being presented tonight and to engage the process with us.

23
00:02:41,050 --> 00:02:53,130
If you wish to be notified of the decision of the corporation of the Township Clearview on an application being discussed this evening, please complete a public delegation form and submit the form to the deputy clerk and our forms are sitting.

24
00:02:54,570 --> 00:02:57,490
I mean, you've got the move, there'll be over there, sitting ready, right, Emma?

25
00:02:57,830 --> 00:02:59,550
There we go, so I'm really wants to talk, really.

26
00:03:00,330 --> 00:03:09,010
The views expressed in the public comments are solely those of the individuals providing them and do not reflect the opinions of the township, its agents or its employees.

27
00:03:09,010 --> 00:03:14,910
It is not possible for the township to verify the accuracy of all information provided by members of the public.

28
00:03:15,430 --> 00:03:21,650
The township should therefore assume no responsibility for any inaccurate information that may be contained within the public comments.

29
00:03:22,050 --> 00:03:27,850
If you have information that might correct, clarify, or refute any statements contained within the public comments,

30
00:03:28,310 --> 00:03:30,450
please forward it to the township planning department.

31
00:03:30,990 --> 00:03:35,030
Please be advised that your comment or request be notified will form part of the public record.

32
00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:42,790
Your communication and any personal information therein will be made available to the public unless you expressly request its removal.

33
00:03:43,790 --> 00:04:00,990
If a person or public body would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of the township of Clearview to the Ontario Land Tribunal but the person or public body does not make an oral submission at a public meeting or make a written submission before the proposed official plan or zoning by-law amendment is adopted or passed.

34
00:04:00,990 --> 00:04:05,570
The person or public body is not entitled to appeal to the decision.

35
00:04:10,660 --> 00:04:14,480
If a person or public body does not make oral submission at a public meeting or

36
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,820
make written submission to the Township Clearview before the proposed official

37
00:04:18,820 --> 00:04:24,580
plan or zoning by-law amendment is adopted or passed, the person or public body may

38
00:04:24,580 --> 00:04:29,280
not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal for the For the Ontario Land Tribunal.

39
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,480
Unless it's in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to add the

40
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,500
a person or public body as a party.

41
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,820
The following public meeting will involve a brief presentation by our planning staff,

42
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,800
an opportunity for the applicant or their agent to present their application, a period

43
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,080
for public comment or questions and an opportunity for questions by the planning committee.

44
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,620
So we will now begin the public meeting with respect to item 3.1, zoning by-law amendment

45
00:04:55,620 --> 00:04:59,440

And our planning staff will now start with a brief presentation concerning the application.

48
00:05:13,180 --> 00:05:14,960
I believe it's Nick, you're the man tonight.

49
00:05:15,740 --> 00:05:17,320

00:05:17,660 --> 00:05:18,340
Thank you, Chair.

51
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,500
As indicated, my name is Nick Amley.

52
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,660
I'm a community planner here at the Township Clearview.

53
00:05:22,660 --> 00:05:24,960
and I'm here to facilitate or assist in facilitating

54
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,100
tonight's public meeting for zoning by-law amendment

55
00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:30,200
application, 2026 and ZB09.

56
00:05:31,540 --> 00:05:32,660
This is a bit of a housekeeping.

57
00:05:32,940 --> 00:05:34,880
I'm going to provide a bit more of a high level overview

58
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,120
of my presentation.

59
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,420
We'll provide the application with the applicant

60
00:05:39,420 --> 00:05:40,360
that they're going to solve and providing

61
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,620
at brief presentation following.

62
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,500
Following both presentations,

63
00:05:43,540 --> 00:05:44,920
I'll be available to answer any questions

64
00:05:45,540 --> 00:05:47,000
from Councilor and members of the public.

65
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:49,660
Next slide.

66
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:50,140
Oh, perfect.

67
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,040
Subject lands themselves.

68
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,240
as well as located in the southwestern portion of the township.

69
00:05:55,460 --> 00:05:59,360
They located just north of Kay Road 9 and south of 6-7 side road.

70
00:05:59,820 --> 00:06:05,960
They maintained frontage on the Kay Road 124 and just to note that they are directly west

71
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,880
of the subject lands is the boundary with Miss Validia Gray Highlands, with county road

72
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,240
124 being that boundary.

73
00:06:13,900 --> 00:06:14,640
Next slide.

74
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,940
The purpose of the zoning by-law amendment application that's currently before Council tonight seeks

75
00:06:20,940 --> 00:06:29,980
It seeks to amend the zoning on a portion of the subject lands presently zone as air cultural to an air culture related industrial exception zone to an AGI exception zone.

76
00:06:30,380 --> 00:06:35,440
The request to exceptions of that exception zone seek to alter the following provisions of the zoning by law.

77
00:06:35,820 --> 00:06:50,720
So they seek to limit or restrict the uses on that portion lands to be re-zoned strictly to a flower mill facility use as well as add the following additional alter provision which be the combined total minimum parking space requirement for the air cultural related use.

78
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,480
i.e. the flower mill is 19 spaces, which includes one barrier-free parking space.

79
00:06:56,260 --> 00:07:00,640
The effect of the application is to emit a flower mill facility as an air-culture-related

80
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,700
use on the subject lands with site-specific provisions.

81
00:07:04,740 --> 00:07:05,500
Next slide.

82
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:10,620
As a part of the complete application package that was submitted, I believe in late June,

83
00:07:11,020 --> 00:07:13,980
the applicant did submit a number of additional materials.

84
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:19,720
This included cover letter, a conceptual site plan of the reposal, a plan investigation

85
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:26,120
report, a draft zoning by-law, a traffic opinion letter, hydrogeological confirmation letter,

86
00:07:26,740 --> 00:07:31,120
permit drawings of the building itself, as well as a conceptual landscape plan.

87
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,040
This material can be viewed online.

88
00:07:33,940 --> 00:07:34,640
Next slide.

89
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,420
This is an aerial imagery of the subject lands.

90
00:07:40,380 --> 00:07:43,220
In terms of surrounding land uses, it's primarily air cultural, so

91
00:07:43,220 --> 00:07:45,860
air cultural residential uses and mainly air cultural.

92
00:07:45,860 --> 00:07:52,800
as indicated directly to the west is the Miss Valley Gray Highlands and again mainly agriculture uses on those portions of the lands.

93
00:07:53,600 --> 00:08:01,320
The subject lands are primarily used for agriculture use themselves, primarily cash crop. There is one existing single-touch dwelling as well as an agricultural building.

94
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:07,060
And within the southwest and corner of the property there is also a kind of a forested treat area.

95
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,720
Next slide. In terms of official planned policy as well as zoning

96
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,120
by-law policy. The subject lands are designated hold these air

97
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,540
cultural within the township of Clearview's official plan document. They are

98
00:08:19,540 --> 00:08:24,660
zoned air cultural as well as environmental protection. The EP zone is limited

99
00:08:24,660 --> 00:08:28,400
more to the forested area in the southwestern corner of the site and there is a

100
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,480
small portion of the frontage of the property that is regulated by the

101
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:38,360
conservation authority as well. Next slide. In terms of notice and circulation this

102
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,240
was given in accordance with the Planning Act. This is completed in August

103
00:08:41,820 --> 00:08:51,620
It was done via mailing notification to all properties within 120 meters of the subject lands, as well as posting a notification signage on the frontage of the property.

104
00:08:52,680 --> 00:09:03,580
Details of applications for your trails have been made available to the public, so they are available online to view under current our current project's website, and have also been circulated relevant commenting agencies and internal departments.

105
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,280
In terms of public comments, so all comments that have received prior to the current agenda

106
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:16,320
deadline for tonight's meeting were appended to the agenda, sort of public media agenda,

107
00:09:16,740 --> 00:09:21,060
believe under appendix E. In any comments that are received this evening or following that,

108
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,840
we'll form part of my pending recommendation report on the application.

109
00:09:25,740 --> 00:09:26,060
Next slide.

110
00:09:27,300 --> 00:09:33,360
In terms of overall review process, the application was received on June 28th, 2026, I should

111
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,440
I wouldn't say that's some typo.

112
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,500
It was deemed complete on July 15th.

113
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,480
Notice was given on August 5th, and tonight is the public meeting.

114
00:09:41,060 --> 00:09:44,120
Following tonight's public meeting, we will bring a recommendation report and

115
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,700
bail back to a subsequent council meeting for approval.

116
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,580
And then here's my contact information for anyone in the audience or

117
00:09:52,580 --> 00:09:56,220
viewing online, if they wanted any questions that should contact me, please feel free to.

118
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:57,060
Thank you.

119
00:09:57,420 --> 00:09:58,860
Thank you very much, Nick.

120
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,400
So I believe, Amy Pellie, you'll be presenting on behalf of the applicants tonight.

121
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,020
Yes, or general, she's all yours.

122
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,420
Bill, you'll be just telling them to advance your screen as you request.

123
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:23,500
Awesome, thank you.

124
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,360
Good evening, Mr. Mayor, members of Council.

125
00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:31,200
My name is Carly Murphy, and I'm a planner with Powell Planning and Associates,

126
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:39,180
retained by the landowner of 793-273 County Road 124 to evaluate the merits of a zoning bylaw amendment application.

127
00:10:40,220 --> 00:10:40,920
Next slide, please.

128
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:55,190
So this evening, this presentation will introduce the zoning bylaw amendment application as well as the subject applications consistency and conformity with both provincial and municipal policies.

129
00:10:56,050 --> 00:10:56,850
Next slide, please.

130
00:10:58,790 --> 00:11:10,310
The purpose of this presentation is really to provide an overview of the subject application, which seeks planning approval to permit a flower mill facility as an agricultural related views on the subject lands.

131
00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:16,970
And then I'll provide an overview of the comprehensive, provincial, county, and municipal policy analysis that was undertaken.

132
00:11:17,670 --> 00:11:18,450
Next slide, please.

133
00:11:20,530 --> 00:11:23,770
So the subject, the answer, designated agricultural and

134
00:11:23,770 --> 00:11:26,650
zoned agricultural and environmental protection zone.

135
00:11:27,250 --> 00:11:33,430
There's an existing dwelling in a farm building on the property and the lands are used primarily for agricultural uses.

136
00:11:34,090 --> 00:11:40,270
The surrounding areas also predominantly used for agricultural uses with a wooded area located to the west.

137
00:11:40,270 --> 00:11:41,830
Next slide, please.

138
00:11:44,350 --> 00:11:50,050
The proposed flower mill facility is considered an agricultural related use and that's permitted

139
00:11:50,050 --> 00:11:54,590
in the agricultural designation, subject to the passing of zoning bylaw amendment.

140
00:11:55,190 --> 00:12:00,490
The subject application therefore proposes to rezone a portion of the property from agricultural

141
00:12:01,150 --> 00:12:07,750
to agricultural related industrial exception zone specifically to permit the flower mill facility

142
00:12:07,750 --> 00:12:09,650
as a site-specific permitted use.

143
00:12:09,650 --> 00:12:11,170
Next slide, please.

144
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,120
So a comprehensive policy analysis was undertaken

145
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,840
of applicable planning legislation and provincial,

146
00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:24,440
municipal and county policies, which is also further detailed in the planning

147
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,300
justification report that was submitted with the application.

148
00:12:28,300 --> 00:12:28,920
Next slide, please.

149
00:12:32,020 --> 00:12:35,760
The subject application is regard for provincial interest center of the planning act,

150
00:12:35,860 --> 00:12:38,880
which include protecting prime agricultural resources.

151
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:45,060
The proposed fire mill facility is supported by provincial policy as the proposed use helps

152
00:12:45,060 --> 00:12:50,660
to protect prime agricultural areas while also supporting economic opportunities to the

153
00:12:50,660 --> 00:12:54,660
agricultural sector as a compatible agricultural related use.

154
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,300
Next slide, please.

155
00:12:58,900 --> 00:13:04,560
Agricultural related uses are also permitted within prime agricultural areas under the provincial

156
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:05,560
planning statement.

157
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:16,080
The proposed Flyer Mill facility supports the diversification of agricultural uses while protecting the agricultural land base and environmental features on the subject lands.

158
00:13:16,700 --> 00:13:29,600
Overall, the application supports a healthy and viable rural area in the township and the county and the continued preservation and enhancement of the agricultural system, which is consistent with the policies of the PPS.

159
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,280
Next slide, please.

160
00:13:34,510 --> 00:13:39,090
The subject application also conforms with the Simco County Official Plan Policies.

161
00:13:39,470 --> 00:13:45,590
The lands remain protected for long-term agricultural use by keeping them within the agricultural designation.

162
00:13:46,090 --> 00:13:55,790
Well, the proposed agricultural related use supports the agricultural sector and helps diversify the county's agricultural economy.

163
00:13:56,710 --> 00:13:57,370
Next slide, please.

164
00:13:57,370 --> 00:13:58,430
The

165
00:14:00,610 --> 00:14:08,910
townships official plan policies permit agricultural related uses which are consistent with provincial and county policies as well.

166
00:14:09,290 --> 00:14:21,490
The proposed flower mill facility will directly provide farm related products in area as its primary activity while being compatible with the surrounding agricultural operations to the subject lands.

167
00:14:21,490 --> 00:14:30,850
The establishment of agricultural related uses is encouraged to support the continued viability and long-term sustainability of the agricultural sector.

168
00:14:31,490 --> 00:14:39,790
The proposed flower mill facility can be permitted through site-specific zoning bylaw amendment and conformity with the policies of the official plan.

169
00:14:40,510 --> 00:14:41,270
Next slide, please.

170
00:14:41,270 --> 00:14:54,980
The zoning bylaw amendment application is therefore being brought forward to ensure that there's zoning compliance in accordance with the existing direction of the official plan for agriculture related uses.

171
00:14:54,980 --> 00:14:59,980
The subject application proposes to rezone the portion of the list.

172
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:16,020
Agricultural to agriculture, leave related industrial exception zone to permit the fire mill facility as a site specific use, as well as establish the parking requirements. All other applicable zoning provisions are complied with. Next slide, please.

173
00:15:16,020 --> 00:15:24,510
A careful analysis concludes that the application is supported by provincial, county, and

174
00:15:24,510 --> 00:15:26,110
municipal policy direction.

175
00:15:26,730 --> 00:15:32,850
It maintains the agricultural designation and protects the agricultural resources of the province, the county and

176
00:15:32,850 --> 00:15:38,950
the township, while also supporting the viability and long-term sustainability of the agricultural sector.

177
00:15:39,550 --> 00:15:42,490
The subject application is consistent with the PPS.

178
00:15:42,850 --> 00:15:46,130
It conforms to the county and the township's official plan policies.

179
00:15:46,130 --> 00:15:49,510
and it respects the standards of the zoning bylaw.

180
00:15:49,910 --> 00:15:52,990
The subject application ultimately represents good planning

181
00:15:52,990 --> 00:15:54,850
that's in the best interest of the public.

182
00:15:56,550 --> 00:15:59,630
And thank you, and I'm happy to address any questions

183
00:15:59,630 --> 00:16:02,190
that Mayor and members of Council may have.

184
00:16:02,790 --> 00:16:03,690
Thank you, Carly.

185
00:16:03,970 --> 00:16:04,990
First, I want to apologize.

186
00:16:05,190 --> 00:16:06,990
I might notice it said that Amy was going to be

187
00:16:06,990 --> 00:16:09,830
doing the presentation and had her name on it,

188
00:16:09,850 --> 00:16:10,990
so but anyway, so my apologies.

189
00:16:11,390 --> 00:16:11,870
That's okay.

190
00:16:13,830 --> 00:16:15,770
Anyways, if you don't mind just staying there

191
00:16:15,770 --> 00:16:18,910
because we can ask, we can ask questions and HF sort of thing.

192
00:16:19,070 --> 00:16:25,550
Is there anybody in the audience who would make, who would like to make a comment, ask a question or address committee with respect to this application?

193
00:16:26,230 --> 00:16:33,110
Questions may be directed to or responded to by the applicant, their agent, their staff, but should be addressed through the chair, that's me.

194
00:16:33,670 --> 00:16:36,070
Please remember to complete and submit your delegation form.

195
00:16:36,390 --> 00:16:38,070
Is there anybody who wishes to ask questions?

196
00:16:38,950 --> 00:16:44,110
Go on once, anybody want to ask questions, place, three times, no public questions.

197
00:16:44,110 --> 00:16:47,330
I'll go to our council next to the members of our committee.

198
00:16:48,010 --> 00:16:50,370
Councillor Walker, I'll start at your end this time.

199
00:16:50,670 --> 00:16:51,550
Thank you, Mr. Chair.

200
00:16:52,590 --> 00:16:59,350
Mr. Cobble, first of all, I'm looking at the concept plan, and I see the driveway is highlighted

201
00:16:59,350 --> 00:17:00,510
inside the zone.

202
00:17:01,930 --> 00:17:09,370
Is there upgrades to that driveway to be made, and if so, who monitors that change with that environment

203
00:17:09,370 --> 00:17:10,190
of protection zone?

204
00:17:11,830 --> 00:17:13,070
Through you, Mr. Chair.

205
00:17:13,070 --> 00:17:19,690
We actually, there is a driveway extension proposed, but we actually did locate it outside

206
00:17:19,690 --> 00:17:26,830
of the environmental protection zone to ensure that it would comply with the zoning by-law.

207
00:17:28,250 --> 00:17:33,570
My next question is, I don't see anything on the concept plan again with regards to,

208
00:17:41,130 --> 00:17:42,350
or

209
00:17:42,350 --> 00:17:47,830
I will not take a lot of water, I just don't know, so I'm just asking about water in the subject.

210
00:17:48,270 --> 00:17:56,330
Through you, Mr. Chair, we did submit a hydrogeological report with the subject

211
00:17:56,330 --> 00:18:01,630
application that confirms that the existing well-capacity is sufficient support

212
00:18:01,630 --> 00:18:06,610
the proposed use, and that there would be no adverse impacts on local ground water

213
00:18:06,610 --> 00:18:08,750
resources or any neighboring wells.

214
00:18:08,750 --> 00:18:16,990
Thank you, Councillor Walker. Councillor Dunning. Thank you. I'll leave you to the end.

215
00:18:17,650 --> 00:18:22,770
You're going to get one of the last ones. Councillor Walker, that's great. Councillor MacArthur,

216
00:18:23,410 --> 00:18:26,070
I'm looking over there and thinking over here. Councillor MacArthur.

217
00:18:26,810 --> 00:18:32,910
Thank you, Chair. First, I don't see any silos or green bins in the concept plan. I'm just

218
00:18:32,910 --> 00:18:36,590
kind of wondering what the scale of the operation might be.

219
00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:54,610
Through you, Mr. Chair, the intent is to submit a site plan application following the zoning bylaw amendment if the zoning bylaw amendment is approved, which would basically detail the specific site designs in terms of scale.

220
00:18:57,310 --> 00:19:00,470
It's very, it's smaller scale.

221
00:19:00,730 --> 00:19:05,810
It's going to be an operation that's between the hours of 9 to 5, typically.

222
00:19:06,430 --> 00:19:11,750
On an 8-hour schedule, there will be a minimum of two employees on site at a time,

223
00:19:12,070 --> 00:19:13,350
max them the four employees.

224
00:19:14,090 --> 00:19:19,710
There will be limited traffic to the site, so it's a very small scale operation in terms

225
00:19:19,710 --> 00:19:22,390
of what could be on the lands.

226
00:19:22,390 --> 00:19:25,030
Okay, and yeah, you answered my second question then.

227
00:19:25,170 --> 00:19:29,330
You're saying two to four employees is what we're thinking right now.

228
00:19:29,590 --> 00:19:29,770
Yes.

229
00:19:30,010 --> 00:19:33,310
So 19 parking spots should be way more than enough.

230
00:19:33,870 --> 00:19:40,350
Yes, so the zoning by-law required quite a large amount of parking.

231
00:19:40,350 --> 00:19:43,410
When you look at it, I think it was something like 75 spaces.

232
00:19:44,090 --> 00:19:50,270
With speaking with the landowner, they just determined that they didn't need that many spaces.

233
00:19:50,270 --> 00:19:54,030
So we've accommodated two parking spaces for trucks.

234
00:19:54,970 --> 00:20:01,730
There should only be one truck used on a normal basis, but two spaces just in case they're required.

235
00:20:02,050 --> 00:20:06,690
As well as a barrier-free parking space, which would be required, and then the 19th

236
00:20:06,690 --> 00:20:12,310
spaces should be able to accommodate both employees and visitors in the instance that they're there.

237
00:20:12,830 --> 00:20:18,890
But it's not expected that this use would have very many visitors associated with it.

238
00:20:19,650 --> 00:20:20,830
Okay, thank you.

239
00:20:21,110 --> 00:20:21,490
Thank you.

240
00:20:21,950 --> 00:20:23,450
Councillor Broderick, any questions?

241
00:20:23,890 --> 00:20:24,150
Okay.

242
00:20:24,630 --> 00:20:25,390
You're worshiped.

243
00:20:25,470 --> 00:20:26,710
You get the second last question.

244
00:20:26,890 --> 00:20:27,070
Sure.

245
00:20:27,630 --> 00:20:30,250
I'm going to, if I may, I'd like to go to the staff.

246
00:20:30,970 --> 00:20:32,570
I'm going to steal a question from you.

247
00:20:33,350 --> 00:20:39,390
Only because I've been thinking about this too, that Paul brought up a good point just before the meeting from the king about.

248
00:20:39,390 --> 00:20:54,770
But our work to develop on-farm-proversified use, is this something that could be considered as part of an on-farm-proversified use if we were able to get the zoning bylaw enacted that included that?

249
00:20:55,670 --> 00:21:03,830
Is this what our text right now would show that, I'm asking either of the staff, go ahead through the change then, Mayor.

250
00:21:03,830 --> 00:21:10,250
So actually, it is not an honor for me to use, so it is identified an official plan as an air cultural related use.

251
00:21:10,570 --> 00:21:19,010
So there is a little bit of difference to it, and on from different side, doesn't necessarily need to be absolutely related.

252
00:21:19,330 --> 00:21:30,330
It's associated with, whereas an air culture related use, such as this, does have to relate specifically to the air culture use kind of on the property and to the surrounding area, so it would fall under that provision.

253
00:21:30,330 --> 00:21:34,990
And then that's why the AG Industrial Zone is being proposed for the property.

254
00:21:36,690 --> 00:21:42,750
And in terms of the official plan policies, it does permit a fellow male specifically through a minor by-law,

255
00:21:42,910 --> 00:21:45,030
which is currently being considered to see Nick.

256
00:21:45,570 --> 00:21:45,670
Right.

257
00:21:46,250 --> 00:21:51,790
The reason I'm thinking that it would only because given the property that's available,

258
00:21:52,570 --> 00:21:59,270
the amount of product that would be produced to run the mill, you're going to have to bring materials in to be processed.

259
00:21:59,270 --> 00:22:05,050
So this is going to be a processing or processed, driven agricultural use for sure.

260
00:22:05,490 --> 00:22:09,250
But it would be outside of what would normally be approved.

261
00:22:09,470 --> 00:22:13,550
So this proposal has good merits.

262
00:22:13,570 --> 00:22:20,410
I'm just concerned that if we move forward with our existing ideals to bring forward

263
00:22:20,410 --> 00:22:25,370
on-farm-diverse values, that this would already be approved.

264
00:22:25,370 --> 00:22:31,430
So, if you're suggesting as a planner that this is not an on-farm diversified

265
00:22:31,430 --> 00:22:36,270
use, this is an actual agricultural use and needs to be identified as such.

266
00:22:36,470 --> 00:22:40,090
Is that really the adjustment through the Chair?

267
00:22:40,510 --> 00:22:40,950
That's correct.

268
00:22:41,110 --> 00:22:45,430
So, in terms of the direction policy through the official plan document, it does identify

269
00:22:45,430 --> 00:22:49,250
it as being an air-cultured-related use, which is permitted through a site-specific

270
00:22:49,250 --> 00:22:52,990
amendment, which is the process we're kind of going for currently.

271
00:22:53,470 --> 00:23:00,270
In terms of the new zoning by-law process moving forward, it is possible that it had to review it if this type of use

272
00:23:00,270 --> 00:23:05,050
would be permitted as an as-of-right use under the air-cultural zone, specifically, not as an on-farm

273
00:23:05,050 --> 00:23:08,570
tourist vibe, but as its own air-cultural-related use in that.

274
00:23:09,750 --> 00:23:14,390
But at this point in time, without the implementation of the new zoning by-law document, the zoning

275
00:23:14,390 --> 00:23:15,550
by-law is required.

276
00:23:16,250 --> 00:23:22,010
Okay. If I may, one further ask, and that's just to come back, circle back to Councillor

277
00:23:22,010 --> 00:23:27,150
Walker's suggestion, the driveway obviously will have to be upgraded just to be clear to

278
00:23:27,150 --> 00:23:35,450
carry the amount of traffic, of inputs coming in and finish product going out. So certainly,

279
00:23:36,030 --> 00:23:41,550
the driver will have to be improved. It does appear in the EP and are mapping, so we would

280
00:23:41,550 --> 00:23:52,150
I want to make sure that that's associated with good conversation between our staff and your procedure to make sure that it is clearly outside of EP, okay?

281
00:23:52,610 --> 00:23:53,130
Is that comfortable?

282
00:23:54,210 --> 00:23:54,710
Everybody's good.

283
00:23:54,870 --> 00:23:55,170
Thank you.

284
00:23:55,310 --> 00:23:55,670
There you go.

285
00:23:55,870 --> 00:23:56,190
Thank you.

286
00:23:56,190 --> 00:23:57,710
You stole my thunder, but that's okay.

287
00:23:57,950 --> 00:23:59,190
No, you're doing a great job.

288
00:23:59,430 --> 00:23:59,630
I'll use.

289
00:24:00,710 --> 00:24:07,090
Carly, quick question, and I think we'll be doing with an official application, but do we have any concerns?

290
00:24:07,090 --> 00:24:13,330
And I know it's not a planning issue, but to talk about fire and explosion protection for a business like this.

291
00:24:13,450 --> 00:24:16,910
Are they concerned about that at all, or for the dust and stuff like that?

292
00:24:20,550 --> 00:24:26,030
There are more specific studies that are required, again, through the site plan application.

293
00:24:26,810 --> 00:24:32,630
At this time, we haven't submitted like a noise-odor dust type of study.

294
00:24:33,310 --> 00:24:36,690
I can pass it over to staff if that's okay, Nick.

295
00:24:37,310 --> 00:24:40,430
Was that identified as a requirement for a site plan application?

296
00:24:40,670 --> 00:24:42,270
I just can't remember off the top of my head.

297
00:24:43,310 --> 00:24:49,330
Yeah, so as indicated through the site plan approval process, we will review in greater detail the specifics of the proposal.

298
00:24:50,130 --> 00:24:55,070
And also I'd note through the building permit process in terms of the type of building use that's going in there.

299
00:24:55,070 --> 00:24:59,070
That will be assessed in terms of fire safety and a sort of sprinkler systems that are being acquired.

300
00:24:59,850 --> 00:25:02,290
So there's kind of two methods that we would be reviewing it under.

301
00:25:02,290 --> 00:25:03,250
Thank you.

302
00:25:03,490 --> 00:25:07,270
Having worked on a evening once upon a day, I know what dust can do, so I want to protect

303
00:25:07,270 --> 00:25:07,490
them.

304
00:25:08,790 --> 00:25:10,690
My next question is to the sand dunes.

305
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:12,090
I'd like to ask them.

306
00:25:12,210 --> 00:25:17,570
I said, make sure, once you get this all done, that you get in touch with us, so we can have

307
00:25:17,570 --> 00:25:21,590
our economic development lady, Brian Kelly, and ourselves come and visit your place, because

308
00:25:21,590 --> 00:25:24,790
we love to come and visit, okay, so keep that in mind.

309
00:25:24,950 --> 00:25:27,010
We love coming to see what you're doing, so.

310
00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:44,220
I'm going to pour in you, there's going to a lot of people because 124 gets closed a lot of times in the winter, so you,

311
00:25:47,420 --> 00:25:50,900
okay, anyways, thank you very much for that, it's a great good job.

312
00:25:51,540 --> 00:26:07,100
Okay, this concludes this file, amended to file 2026-033 regarding property located, 793-273 County Road 124, we thank all who attended and provided comments for their interest in this matter.

313
00:26:07,100 --> 00:26:15,840
All input received with regards to this proposal will be fully considered by the staff and the recommendation and by council and their decision with respect to this application.

314
00:26:16,540 --> 00:26:23,000
Report regarding this proposal will be prepared for council who will make a decision concerning this matter at a future meeting.

315
00:26:23,540 --> 00:26:31,360
At this time, we do have another item to deal with, but I will be turning the chair back over to the mayor because he will be handling this portion of the meeting.

316
00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:33,740
All right, thank you very much, Deputy Mayor.

317
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,540
Excellent work, as always.

318
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,680
Thank you very much for returning the chair.

319
00:26:38,620 --> 00:26:45,880
Council, we do have the next item on our agenda item number four, which is a report called PV0342026.

320
00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:57,420
In regards to the ask from this council for the Stainer Settlement Area Boundary Expansion, phase one status update, we have our staff available to help us answer some questions.

321
00:26:58,020 --> 00:27:00,020
I believe we have a consultant on the line.

322
00:27:00,420 --> 00:27:03,640
There is. Hi there. Good to see you. I'm glad you're there. I knew you were there.

323
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,300
Is that two people on the line? Oh, there is. There's two. Excellent. All right. Nice to have you,

324
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:15,400
gentlemen. So, Derrick Abbott, our chief of this department, Derrick, I'm going to put it right

325
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,680
over to you to bring forward your presentation.

326
00:27:19,620 --> 00:27:27,160
Thank you, Your Worship. So, this report is as a result of mayoral decision 26-08.

327
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:42,780
So Council edits meeting on May 25th, 2026 earlier this year endorsed the Merrill decision, which asks Council to consider a two-phase approach to the Stainer's settlement area boundary expansion and a preferred boundary expansion area.

328
00:27:43,420 --> 00:27:54,800
And as a result of that, Council approved technical studies to commence immediately for the preferred boundary and that these technical studies be completed no later than 90 days from Council's approval.

329
00:27:54,800 --> 00:28:01,000
We have since reached our 90 days and are providing counsel with an update on the work

330
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:07,260
completed two dates and outlining where we are in the process as we move forwards towards

331
00:28:07,260 --> 00:28:12,720
our statutory public meeting, which is scheduled to be held on September 14th.

332
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:18,060
One thing I will emphasize that we are not asking counsel to make any decisions on the proposed

333
00:28:18,060 --> 00:28:23,100
amendment this evening, so the draft official plan amendment that was attached to my staff

334
00:28:23,100 --> 00:28:28,700
report remains in draft form and will continue to be informed by the technical work that's

335
00:28:28,700 --> 00:28:34,340
underway as well as any input we receive from the public agencies, indigenous communities,

336
00:28:35,060 --> 00:28:40,440
and Council through the consultation process. As you will note on the screen we do have

337
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:46,500
members of our consulting team with us and one that's here in attendance that is available

338
00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:51,800
to walk Council through a brief presentation on the work that's been completed to date and

339
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:57,840
and outline the next steps, so I would like to introduce, we have Steve Weaver and Patrick

340
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:04,580
Casey, both from GSP group, and off-camera but in attendance is Jeff Langwa from Burnside

341
00:29:04,580 --> 00:29:10,980
Engineering, who provide council with that representation that's on your screen now, and

342
00:29:10,980 --> 00:29:17,160
give a progress status update and be available for any questions the council may have, so

343
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,380
So further ado, Steve and Patrick, if floor is yours.

344
00:29:21,820 --> 00:29:23,140
Thank you very much, Derek.

345
00:29:24,340 --> 00:29:27,520
Steve, Patrick and Jeff, thank you for joining us.

346
00:29:28,260 --> 00:29:29,360
Who wants to lead this?

347
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:30,100
Is this you, Steve?

348
00:29:31,140 --> 00:29:33,120
Yes, I'll take the lead here, if you can hear me okay.

349
00:29:33,500 --> 00:29:34,400
Yes, go right ahead, sir.

350
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:35,220
We got you, go ahead.

351
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:36,160
Perfect.

352
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,940
Before you go, I apologize the error on the title slide is mine.

353
00:29:39,540 --> 00:29:42,160
For some reason I had council meeting Monday on my mind,

354
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,460
should say Wednesday, of course.

355
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:44,900
So I apologize for that.

356
00:29:44,900 --> 00:29:57,100
Good to correct the date there. Thanks Patrick. Yes, I'll kick things off and then I'll turn it over to Jeff to present some of the results of the servicing fees.

357
00:30:00,180 --> 00:30:29,960
Describe next steps. So thank you. The reason for the update tonight is outlined by your director is provide an update on the status of the studies that were directed by council resolution in May. And share with you the preliminary findings of those studies. And then, as I mentioned, talk about the next steps for the official plan amendment, OPA 4, as well as some related county official plan amendment.

358
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:30,760
considerations.

359
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:42,540
As mentioned, there were some studies discussed at the meeting on May 25th in terms of phase

360
00:30:42,540 --> 00:30:48,540
one of this process for the state or settlement area boundary expansion, with three key initiatives

361
00:30:48,540 --> 00:30:50,460
identified to support that.

362
00:30:51,420 --> 00:30:57,660
The first is a servicing feasibility study which Jeff and his team are focused on and will

363
00:30:57,660 --> 00:31:00,260
will be the subject of the next few slides.

364
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:07,180
The other is the agricultural impact assessment, which is a requirement of the provincial planning

365
00:31:07,180 --> 00:31:13,320
statement for settlement area boundary expansions, to demonstrate that any potential impacts

366
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:19,440
to agricultural land, farm operations, and any minimum distance separation requirements

367
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:24,800
or MDS requirements for livestock operations have been assessed and addressed.

368
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:32,180
And then the last is a strategy for engaging with First Nations and Indigenous communities.

369
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:40,620
So I'll pause there and I will turn it over to Jeff, who's there with you in person to give you an update on the servicing feasibility study.

370
00:31:41,460 --> 00:31:43,640
Thank you very much. Jeff, welcome.

371
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:48,060
You got a green light there?

372
00:31:48,500 --> 00:31:49,800
I do now. Okay, thank you.

373
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,900
Hi, your worship members and council and staff.

374
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:57,420
My pleasure to be here in supporting this port program participating.

375
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:02,420
So I will touch on the work that we've done today related to the servicing feasibility associated

376
00:32:02,420 --> 00:32:07,960
with the expansion of the stain or settlement boundary that is primarily focused on water capacity

377
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,160
and wastewater capacity.

378
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:17,640
So currently there's approximately 5,300 people serviced in stain and looking forward to the projected

379
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:22,280
needed needs based on the available land area and assumed land uses that were developed

380
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:28,580
in partnership with staff. At full build-out, we would say an additional 21,000 people

381
00:32:28,580 --> 00:32:33,760
within the existing settlement boundary and room for another 14,000 in the areas proposed

382
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:38,620
to be added through the settlement expansion for a total additional population of just

383
00:32:38,620 --> 00:32:44,900
over 35,000 people. Combined, that brings the total to 40,686 people.

384
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:52,500
I need to interrupt you right there, just so everyone understands, that is not happening overnight.

385
00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:56,960
This could be upwards of 30 to 40 years before that actually happens.

386
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:02,740
So, but the objective here is to look at this study and find the right number that matches

387
00:33:02,740 --> 00:33:05,460
the ability of our infrastructure.

388
00:33:05,860 --> 00:33:06,620
So, Jeff.

389
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,880
Thank you for that clarification, and you are on track with that.

390
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:14,280
In terms of our study focuses on what we call app build-up.

391
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:32,640
So when all the land is developed to the new boundaries that are proposed, what infrastructure would be required because, you know, significant pieces of infrastructure need to be built, and you don't want them to be too small further down the road when you need them because the infrastructure does last 15, 75 years, right?

392
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:39,520
So as the growth catches up, you don't want to have to pull out a sewer that's too small to put a bigger one in when you should look a little further down the head.

393
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:49,920
So our numbers are focused on that end line, and then later, I expect we'll be discussion about the rate of growth and exactly where the various developments will happen in water order.

394
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:51,940
But today, it's about the end story.

395
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,620
So on the water supply and storage side, there's currently four wells in the standard.

396
00:33:57,140 --> 00:34:06,340
It can provide approximately 3,240 meters cube per day of water and storage facilities on airport road that provides 7,100 cubic meters of water storage.

397
00:34:06,940 --> 00:34:11,760
Currently under construction is a significant new capacity increase to the water supply.

398
00:34:12,380 --> 00:34:17,000
So there's 4 new wells going in and 4,000 cubic meters of storage at the Klondike Park

399
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:23,840
project located on the east side of the township, approximately 8 kilometers from the stainer,

400
00:34:23,980 --> 00:34:25,800
but it will convey water to the stainer.

401
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:34,460
And when we look at the needs in the future, we need an additional supply of 10,825 cubic meters.

402
00:34:34,460 --> 00:34:42,400
We don't quite know where that's coming from yet, but that's how much we think we would need and also additional water storage of approximately 8,000 cubic meters.

403
00:34:44,140 --> 00:34:44,880
So next slide.

404
00:34:49,950 --> 00:35:01,970
So with all that anticipated growth and development, it is anticipated that we would need additional and or up size water mains to service those new lands and new people associated with that.

405
00:35:02,530 --> 00:35:31,830
But for the purpose of our analysis, we have assumed that the additional water would come from the vicinity of the Klondike Park road facility, but today there hasn't been any work to investigate exactly how much more can come from Klondike or areas near Klondike, but that's our assumption for the analysis, and as far as additional water storage, we're anticipating it's likely to be near the existing water storage on airport road, and so our modeling of the future water maintenance based on those assumptions to see if that is sort of a plausible servicing

406
00:35:31,830 --> 00:35:38,230
solution. It's anticipated that would remain with these new lands it can also be a single

407
00:35:38,230 --> 00:35:39,170
water pressure zone.

408
00:35:41,460 --> 00:35:43,800
On the wastewater side, one of the challenges

409
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:50,220
at the existing system in Stainer was not really designed to handle the lands that are being

410
00:35:50,220 --> 00:35:55,820
added to the settlement boundary. So that does create obviously difficult to convey the

411
00:35:55,820 --> 00:36:03,480
waste water that would be generated. We also expect the SPS-2, which is, I think it's the bottom

412
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:08,740
in immolate, while it has currently has some capacity and plan for expansion, the forecasted

413
00:36:08,740 --> 00:36:15,960
needs would exceed its capacity. To service the new lands, which are generally clustered in the

414
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:22,020
south and west of the existing settlement boundary, the south and the east of the settlement boundary,

415
00:36:22,020 --> 00:36:27,220
and north and east of the settlement boundary, we anticipate when they're all in all developed

416
00:36:27,220 --> 00:36:31,580
that we would need three pump stations to service those areas, essentially conveying

417
00:36:31,580 --> 00:36:35,380
west water to the north-east corner of the expanded settlement boundary.

418
00:36:38,260 --> 00:36:43,440
We anticipate that there would essentially be trunk sewers running across the side road

419
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:49,940
and side road 21 to the east and then essentially north along center line road and kind of road

420
00:36:49,940 --> 00:36:54,280
seven, it will get through the development as that permits, but that's the general flow of it,

421
00:36:54,380 --> 00:36:56,320
and three pump stations along that corridor.

422
00:36:58,370 --> 00:37:00,610
It's illustrated a little bit, very high level graphics,

423
00:37:00,890 --> 00:37:04,790
where we're working on the fancy graphics for the reports, but this is the basic diagram of how it

424
00:37:04,790 --> 00:37:13,430
flow, I think, southwest and south, southwest goes to six, it goes to five, the lands from the

425
00:37:13,430 --> 00:37:20,090
southeast come in and run north on that centerline road, kind of road seven, to SPS-4, which then would

426
00:37:20,090 --> 00:37:23,050
be conveying the wastewater to treatment facility.

427
00:37:23,850 --> 00:37:28,970
The location of that facility has yet to be determined, but the existing facility is

428
00:37:28,970 --> 00:37:30,670
not adequate for all of that additional wastewater.

429
00:37:32,650 --> 00:37:36,870
On the wastewater treatment side, currently there's one wastewater treatment plan located

430
00:37:36,870 --> 00:37:43,030
in Stainer with capacity of 2,500 meters cube per day, and the township has made agreements

431
00:37:43,030 --> 00:37:48,430
with the SEGA beach to direct an additional 50,000, sorry, 5,000 meters cubed of waste

432
00:37:48,430 --> 00:37:51,530
water to the SEGA beach, essentially, in two steps.

433
00:37:52,090 --> 00:37:57,570
The works are already constructed, essentially they convey up to 2,500, up to 5,000,

434
00:37:58,050 --> 00:38:02,370
and there would need to be an upgrade to the pumping station to go to the next level of 5,000,

435
00:38:02,550 --> 00:38:05,490
but the porous mains and pump stations are already there to do that.

436
00:38:06,590 --> 00:38:10,590
The flows to the current standard plan are approximately 70 percent of its actual

437
00:38:10,590 --> 00:38:13,110
capacity in terms of actual flow over rating.

438
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:22,080
And I noted that the works are in place for SPS2 with the additional lands that are

439
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:29,640
being added and the existing lands, the additional treatment needs are 11,545 cubic meters

440
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:30,000
per day.

441
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:33,020
So that's above the capacity of stain or in the existing waste cycle agreement.

442
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:39,500
Obviously, it's a civic amount of wastewater and we would identify the, we would need to do

443
00:38:39,500 --> 00:38:44,380
a Schedule CEA to figure out, to create an expansion like that or a new waste water facility.

444
00:38:46,100 --> 00:38:46,920
All right, so

445
00:38:52,100 --> 00:38:58,420
it's essentially the summary, so we do anticipate that it had build out whenever

446
00:38:58,420 --> 00:39:02,200
a piece of land is developed to the expanded boundary and within on the current boundaries,

447
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,340
it's approximately 41,000 people.

448
00:39:05,330 --> 00:39:10,520
To service that, we would need to identify an additional supply of 1,800 meters cubed

449
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:16,500
of water supply. As I noted, the source is not yet known for that. And EAs would likely

450
00:39:16,500 --> 00:39:22,320
be required at least under the current regulation to construct, to get permission to design those

451
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:27,460
facilities. The water storage is a little more straightforward. Could I even be pre-approved

452
00:39:27,460 --> 00:39:32,420
but might be a schedule B under the current EAs requirements. The wastewater collection

453
00:39:32,420 --> 00:39:38,160
components, the forest main sewers and pumping stations, can likely be pre-approved from a

454
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,900
Classy A perspective if they're located on development lines or in existing municipal corridors.

455
00:39:42,420 --> 00:39:46,540
It's a little faster to implement and then the wastewater treatment as I noted,

456
00:39:47,220 --> 00:39:50,480
we will have to identify the ultimate destination in the matter of treatment,

457
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,100
which would require a Classy A.

458
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,280
So that is the highlights of the work done today.

459
00:39:55,760 --> 00:40:02,680
And then we're working on the fancy figures and supported report to go with the calculations that have been completed.

460
00:40:03,860 --> 00:40:07,120
So I think I turned that back over to Steve now and he'll finish up the presentation.

461
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,480
and I'll be able to take questions at the end.

462
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,460
All right, we'll take questions at the end then.

463
00:40:11,720 --> 00:40:12,020
Thank you.

464
00:40:12,340 --> 00:40:13,220
I think that's fine.

465
00:40:13,380 --> 00:40:15,340
Okay, well, we do that in that way then, we can do this.

466
00:40:15,340 --> 00:40:15,960
Keep it rolling, right?

467
00:40:16,180 --> 00:40:16,800
Let's keep it rolling.

468
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:17,560
All right, thank you.

469
00:40:18,140 --> 00:40:20,760
All right, if that's good with council, keep your notes handy.

470
00:40:21,500 --> 00:40:22,960
Steve, we'll take it back to you, go ahead.

471
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,360
Thank you, Mayor Measures and thanks, Jeff,

472
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,160
for covering the servicing summary.

473
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,460
I mentioned earlier in the presentation

474
00:40:31,460 --> 00:40:33,700
that one of the three key initiatives

475
00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:36,020
supporting this boundary change

476
00:40:36,020 --> 00:40:48,920
is the agricultural impact assessment as required in accordance with provincial policies and, in fact, the province has an agricultural impact assessment guideline that has been followed in preparing the study.

477
00:40:49,540 --> 00:40:54,960
And the study I'm shaking here on behalf of study authors is just a stable associates.

478
00:40:54,960 --> 00:41:04,500
There are planners and agronomists, so specialized in the areas of agricultural impact and soils review and MDS calculations.

479
00:41:05,100 --> 00:41:13,020
So I've worked closely with Rob through his process of Rob still will of producing his report.

480
00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:18,200
And that draft report is now on the project webpage as well for more information.

481
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:24,600
But just to share the highlights of that, the agricultural impact assessment looked at two primary areas.

482
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,880
Well, primary area and a secondary area.

483
00:41:26,980 --> 00:41:30,100
The primary area is the expansion lands themselves.

484
00:41:30,500 --> 00:41:37,720
So those lands are shown in the mapping accompanying the report and on the project website,

485
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,040
the land to the north east of existing stainer and the land to the southeast.

486
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:47,200
And then under the provincial guidelines, we're also required to look

487
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:54,160
at potential agricultural impacts within any farm lands within 1.5 kilometer radius of

488
00:41:54,160 --> 00:42:00,780
those primary study area lands. So that has been looked at as well to assess what types

489
00:42:00,780 --> 00:42:05,520
of farm operations are in the surrounding area and whether they have any livestock and

490
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:11,100
whether there are any setbacks associated with those livestock operations. And in fact,

491
00:42:11,100 --> 00:42:17,120
Like five agricultural operations have been identified within the proposed expansion area.

492
00:42:17,420 --> 00:42:24,140
So one of the impacts of the expansion was that those operations would come into the boundary.

493
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:29,200
It doesn't necessarily mean that they can't continue with those operations.

494
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:35,920
They can continue with the existing farm operations that they have until, if and when they decide

495
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:49,800
that their land is going to be made available for development with the long-term purpose of the expansion being to position that land for urban land uses, such as residential housing and other supporting uses.

496
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:58,540
In addition to that, there's a number of livestock operations in the surrounding 1.5 kilometer area.

497
00:42:58,540 --> 00:43:06,120
But the information we had at the time of developing the draft report and developing this

498
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:11,720
presentation indicated that only two of those in fact have MDS setback arcs that potentially

499
00:43:11,720 --> 00:43:14,240
affect the proposed expansion lands.

500
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:21,720
We're still detailing with the agricultural consultant exactly how much of an impact that

501
00:43:21,720 --> 00:43:24,820
has on the proposed settlement area expansion.

502
00:43:24,820 --> 00:43:29,980
initial information looks like it doesn't have a major impact, but it does have some impact.

503
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:35,580
And then secondly, how we can address those impacts, there are a few different options

504
00:43:35,580 --> 00:43:36,940
of how to deal with that.

505
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:45,300
That said, there is one of the methods required under the provincial guidelines to obtain information

506
00:43:45,300 --> 00:43:51,640
about these farms is to consult directly with the farmers and that outreach occurred early

507
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:58,280
on in the process as we've been working on this since late May, and we've just been

508
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:03,660
receiving as recently as today some additional information about existing livestock operations.

509
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:09,700
So there will be some updates to the agricultural impact assessment draft report that's available,

510
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:15,800
and ultimately that report will be finalized once we have all the information from the applicable

511
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:20,760
study area and the farms that could be affected and next slide.

512
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:27,760
In terms of First Nations and Indigenous Consultation, this is outlined in the staff report.

513
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:34,960
A notice has been sent out to the contacts and we confirm those contacts with the County

514
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,580
of Simco as well regarding the proposed official plan amendment.

515
00:44:39,220 --> 00:44:45,200
So far we haven't received any responses but there is some time here for Indigenous groups

516
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:50,060
to review the information and respond and identify whether they have any interest in these matters.

517
00:44:51,180 --> 00:44:56,800
And then once we do get some response from any of the Indigenous communities.

518
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:29,980
And the engagement process with those indigenous communities based on their responses and their areas of interest. And just to note here, this is one part of a multi-part process in terms of land going from agricultural to urban to developed land. And that as the mayor outlined is a long term process. So along the way, there are many other opportunities for not only First Nations and Indigenous communities.

519
00:45:29,980 --> 00:45:35,900
communities, but the public at large to participate in that process, including through further

520
00:45:35,900 --> 00:45:40,740
steps in the secondary planning process, as well as as individual development applications

521
00:45:40,740 --> 00:45:44,900
are proposed and come forward for those lands over the fullness of time.

522
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:47,160
And next slide.

523
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:54,100
So just shifting gears here on our next steps, the draft official plan amendment, as mentioned,

524
00:45:54,100 --> 00:46:02,840
has been posted online and circulated to the county and other agencies for review and comment,

525
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:08,840
and a statutory public meeting under the Planning Act has been scheduled for Monday, September 14.

526
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:14,960
The notice of that meeting has gone out with all the particulars, and just to be more specific

527
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:22,260
about that, the public meeting on September 14 is specifically for Township Official Plan number 4,

528
00:46:22,260 --> 00:46:32,460
And next slide just summarizes that in addition to the township official plan amendment, because settlement area boundaries including those

529
00:46:32,460 --> 00:46:45,020
for stain are set out in the county official plan as well. There is an amendment required to the county official plan. Also to note that the county is the approval authority for the township's official plan amendment.

530
00:46:45,020 --> 00:46:51,980
So adoption of the Official Plan Amendment by the township would be followed by forwarding

531
00:46:51,980 --> 00:46:54,180
that to the county for their review.

532
00:46:55,340 --> 00:47:00,340
And I got a bit ahead of myself there, but the next with the County Official Plan Amendment

533
00:47:00,340 --> 00:47:05,380
they are required under the Planning Act to have their own public meeting for the Official

534
00:47:05,380 --> 00:47:06,000
Plan Amendment.

535
00:47:06,780 --> 00:47:13,530
And if you go to the next slide, there's some process considerations with that.

536
00:47:13,530 --> 00:47:21,010
The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing at the Provincial Level is the approval authority for an amendment to the county official plan.

537
00:47:22,450 --> 00:47:35,310
And under the Planning Act, the county must give the ministry at least 90 days of review time with the official plan amendment before giving notice of its public meeting.

538
00:47:35,310 --> 00:47:42,170
So that 90 day period has started, it was the county submitted their draft official

539
00:47:42,170 --> 00:47:46,970
plan to limit to the province on July 17th, which means they cannot give notice of

540
00:47:46,970 --> 00:47:49,410
their public meeting until October 15th.

541
00:47:49,910 --> 00:47:56,990
So the public meeting that the county will hold will be sometime after October 15th.

542
00:47:56,990 --> 00:47:58,190
Next slide.

543
00:48:00,690 --> 00:48:08,450
The planning act does require that the county public meeting be held no earlier than Wednesday,

544
00:48:08,490 --> 00:48:12,410
November 4th based on that timing and the provincial review requirements.

545
00:48:13,030 --> 00:48:18,550
After the county hold its public meeting, they can then adopt a related county official

546
00:48:18,550 --> 00:48:25,430
plan amendment at any time thereafter and forward that to the province for their consideration

547
00:48:25,430 --> 00:48:32,450
of approval. And next slide. The approval of the county official plan is then in turn subject to

548
00:48:33,270 --> 00:48:42,630
the ministry approval process and the ministry may approve refuse or approve with modifications

549
00:48:42,630 --> 00:48:50,650
the county official plan amendment and they post their review period and decision on the environmental

550
00:48:50,650 --> 00:48:55,930
bill of rights on the Ontario Registry, and will ultimately issue a written decision.

551
00:48:56,630 --> 00:49:01,610
Following that, there is an appeal period for the county OPA, which runs for 20 days,

552
00:49:02,910 --> 00:49:07,750
but the appeals are very limited because it's a provincial decision.

553
00:49:09,930 --> 00:49:13,310
The 20-day appeal period specifically applies to the township.

554
00:49:13,510 --> 00:49:19,970
The county's decision with respect to the township OPA, and if there are no appeals, the township

555
00:49:19,970 --> 00:49:27,010
OPA comes into effect on the last after the last day of profiling of the appeals.

556
00:49:27,450 --> 00:49:32,250
If there are appeals, then those are referred to the Ontario Land Tribunal to be dealt

557
00:49:32,250 --> 00:49:32,670
with there.

558
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:40,660
So that covers the summary of the work completed to date, as well as the next steps.

559
00:49:42,240 --> 00:49:46,200
And Patrick, Jeff and I are available for questions at this time.

560
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:46,760
Thank you.

561
00:49:47,220 --> 00:49:47,820
All right.

562
00:49:48,020 --> 00:49:48,920
Thank you very much.

563
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,960
And I would suggest the staff perhaps are also available for questions, too, so thank you.

564
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:57,540
All right, members of council, do you have any questions to the staff on the work so far?

565
00:49:58,500 --> 00:49:59,340
Paul, you'd like to start?

566
00:49:59,580 --> 00:50:00,180
Okay, go right ahead.

567
00:50:00,460 --> 00:50:01,080
Sure, thank you.

568
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:09,520
Quick question, gentlemen, about, it says two operations in the secondary, we're affecting the proposed expansion and

569
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:11,300
both of those were livestock operations.

570
00:50:11,900 --> 00:50:15,060
Is that the only type of operation we're concerned with?

571
00:50:15,060 --> 00:50:19,020
Or do we concern with intensive cash crop operations?

572
00:50:22,620 --> 00:50:25,840
I'm visualizing all the livestock operations in the area,

573
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:30,520
but cash crop is definitely a bigger bite right now.

574
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,620
Steve or Patrick, either one?

575
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:40,240
Through the mayor, yeah, happy to respond to that question.

576
00:50:40,380 --> 00:50:41,080
It's a good question.

577
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:49,240
The livestock operations have definitely more of a direct impact because there's specific

578
00:50:49,240 --> 00:50:53,980
provincial formulae for calculating required setback distances.

579
00:50:54,000 --> 00:51:00,480
If you're re-designating land from agriculture to other uses, and that setback distance

580
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:06,640
is based on the type of land use, so it's a larger setback for urban land uses.

581
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:14,500
So in this case, the proposed change of some land from agricultural to urban triggers

582
00:51:14,500 --> 00:51:17,700
the need to do these minimum distance separation calculations.

583
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:23,840
And there are a couple of operations that have set back distances that overlap with the

584
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,180
area that's proposed to be designated as urban.

585
00:51:26,860 --> 00:51:34,760
So when we say impact, we mean that either the urban boundary would have to be drawn to

586
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:39,220
avoid those areas or there will need to be some special justification or policy treatment

587
00:51:39,220 --> 00:51:46,100
in the official plan amendment to specifically ensure that setbacks are maintained from

588
00:51:46,100 --> 00:51:51,020
those livestock operations or other measures they're taken so that we don't have incompatible

589
00:51:51,020 --> 00:51:57,300
land uses with the orders and other aspects of livestock housing specifically.

590
00:51:58,020 --> 00:52:02,740
But you're right on point that there are other types of diagramic cultural impacts as well

591
00:52:02,740 --> 00:52:08,880
associated with urban expansion, the obvious one is that land will eventually be taken out of

592
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:14,360
farm production. Again, that is more up to the land owner once the official plan amendment is

593
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:19,720
in place and there are other steps that need to be completed including the infrastructure being

594
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:24,680
developed planning applications that need to be filed and the details of the development need to come

595
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:30,880
forward, much of which is under the control of the land owner at that stage in terms of timing

596
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:35,980
for development. So in the interim and the short term, they're able to continue operating

597
00:52:35,980 --> 00:52:40,800
as they do today. There's no direct immediate impact to an existing farm operation.

598
00:52:41,740 --> 00:52:45,900
And then the other types of impacts that are looked at in the agricultural impact assessment

599
00:52:45,900 --> 00:52:50,320
report are things like, well if some of the land starts to develop, what would be the impacts

600
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:56,860
to say farm equipment that moves around the area on the existing roads or noise and dust

601
00:52:56,860 --> 00:53:04,880
than other normal farm operations that you see out on the landscape and that's where there

602
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:09,700
are more detailed studies that need to be done as the land develops. So just like when you see

603
00:53:11,060 --> 00:53:14,920
applications like the one you heard earlier tonight, there are certain technical studies that

604
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:19,140
come forward in support of those applications and are required as part of a complete application.

605
00:53:19,300 --> 00:53:24,060
There's traffic studies, there's noise and dust and land use compatibility studies and then

606
00:53:24,060 --> 00:53:29,980
And the experts in those types of fields recommend measures that need to be taken to ensure

607
00:53:29,980 --> 00:53:35,260
that we don't set up a situation where development is happening in an area where it's going

608
00:53:35,260 --> 00:53:39,200
to generate a lot of complaints about normal farm operations in the vicinity.

609
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:47,320
There are certain mechanisms that are then used like phasing of the development or warning

610
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:51,900
clauses and purchase and sale agreements to advise purchasers of the farm operations

611
00:53:51,900 --> 00:53:54,320
in the area and the impacts from that that they should expect.

612
00:53:55,140 --> 00:53:58,820
But the details of those measures aren't being established at this stage,

613
00:53:58,820 --> 00:54:02,420
so that those happen later when the land is actually being proposed for development.

614
00:54:03,660 --> 00:54:05,420
So lots to consider there, but

615
00:54:05,420 --> 00:54:09,660
hopefully that gets into some of the specifics as to the types of impacts

616
00:54:09,660 --> 00:54:13,120
that the agricultural impact assessment report is looking at.

617
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:14,820
Thank you.

618
00:54:16,140 --> 00:54:16,740
You're all good?

619
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:17,220
Thank you.

620
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:18,360
Other members of council?

621
00:54:18,620 --> 00:54:19,180
Do you have any questions?

622
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:20,600
Mr. MacArthur, I see you.

623
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:20,920
Go ahead.

624
00:54:21,900 --> 00:54:24,680
Yeah, this is probably for Mr. Jeff Langwell.

625
00:54:24,940 --> 00:54:30,960
Just wondering, the airport road water main was just redone there a few years ago.

626
00:54:31,420 --> 00:54:41,220
Is, do you have any idea whether it's sized to help or sized accordingly for this expansion?

627
00:54:41,500 --> 00:54:44,120
Or if there'd be another redo 30, 40 years down the road?

628
00:54:51,030 --> 00:54:52,690
So we did look at that specifically.

629
00:54:52,690 --> 00:54:57,370
We run the model with these additional, assuming the people were all present and

630
00:54:57,370 --> 00:55:06,510
So it doesn't look like that man needs to be upgraded in terms of the diameter or capacity based on our initial analysis and similarly the water main

631
00:55:07,510 --> 00:55:11,030
KPR to town also looks like it would be adequate for the projected growth

632
00:55:11,950 --> 00:55:14,610
Based on the assumptions that we know right now, so in both cases

633
00:55:15,290 --> 00:55:17,270
They're not going to be obsolete pretty

634
00:55:21,290 --> 00:55:28,710
So probably probably down the road either upgrade those are we'll be looking for a third water source probably in the

635
00:55:29,510 --> 00:55:35,430
area. Yeah, so there are two sort of glass line steel tanks out on the airport

636
00:55:35,430 --> 00:55:40,230
road facility and I think there are approximately 7,000 cubic meters and we

637
00:55:40,230 --> 00:55:45,790
need 8,000 so it's essentially in my mind who would simply twin that facility

638
00:55:45,790 --> 00:55:48,870
right so there would be four tanks there using the same water made. It's really

639
00:55:48,870 --> 00:55:52,570
about the volume of water stored per firefighting that's the main that's the

640
00:55:52,570 --> 00:55:56,610
biggest thing to address with that storage and the main is big enough to convey

641
00:55:56,610 --> 00:56:01,390
the flow is through, the extra size because the flow rate doesn't go up that much from what we assume.

642
00:56:01,390 --> 00:56:10,610
It's just the duration is longer, so anyways, it looks good in terms of, you know, they'll be there for their normal life and not replaced.

643
00:56:11,010 --> 00:56:21,930
We do envision there would be water main looped essentially across 20 or so or 21, kind of creating that loop along the side of any side to help distribute water to the system.

644
00:56:21,930 --> 00:56:22,150
Thank

645
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:27,980
you very much, Councillor McArthur. Those are good questions. If I can just do a little

646
00:56:27,980 --> 00:56:34,780
follow-up on that point before I go to Councillor Dunin, when we do calculations, perhaps, even

647
00:56:34,780 --> 00:56:42,060
Dan might be able to assist, we do calculations about fire, you know, fire service. We also taken

648
00:56:42,060 --> 00:56:50,860
the capacity of the actual pipes. Like, the project that Councillor McArthur brought up was a significant

649
00:56:50,860 --> 00:57:01,220
We can investment by this community to improve the pipe between, you know, the Urban Center of Stainer and our reservoirs down on local airport road, county 42.

650
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:09,180
But the actual size of the pipe increased our capacity for storage because the pipe itself is now much larger.

651
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:19,220
So I think that we need to understand that while pumping capacity is actually the primary thing when you're dealing with a major fire pumping capacity.

652
00:57:19,220 --> 00:57:25,620
but the actual volume of water in the system is sitting in reserve is because it's in the pipes.

653
00:57:26,380 --> 00:57:29,420
There's a lot of pipes that are actually acting as reservoirs.

654
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:31,260
Is that right? Is that a good philosophy?

655
00:57:33,420 --> 00:57:36,240
Partially asked, I like to be partially accurate, thank you.

656
00:58:00,460 --> 00:58:00,940
Yes,

657
00:58:25,710 --> 00:58:26,190
yes.

658
00:58:43,430 --> 00:58:45,990
Absolutely, the storage tanks are everything for sure.

659
00:58:46,810 --> 00:58:50,790
And so we're very blessed in the standard community with the two that we have.

660
00:58:50,790 --> 00:58:56,690
have been, as you said, recently improved, and then the new pipe is also a big improvement

661
00:58:56,690 --> 00:58:57,430
to connect us.

662
00:58:58,310 --> 00:59:06,170
And then the project at KPR is a very significant reservoir that's being built, along with

663
00:59:06,170 --> 00:59:09,950
the actual pipe itself there that connects perhaps 8 kilometers of pipe.

664
00:59:10,510 --> 00:59:17,530
So I think that there's a good argument to be said that we will have supply given all the

665
00:59:17,530 --> 00:59:26,910
factors that are available, and to continue the calculations, as we slowly build out to this population number that we're looking at.

666
00:59:27,070 --> 00:59:30,930
I mean, there's no sense in acknowledging that we're going to do that tomorrow.

667
00:59:31,350 --> 00:59:35,790
It's a matter of, you make plans to build those pipes as we go.

668
00:59:36,050 --> 00:59:41,850
And so I think that's part of it, and working with the development community to help pay for these things is an important part of it.

669
00:59:42,050 --> 00:59:45,930
So thank you, Dan, did you have anything you want to add on that since I brought it up?

670
00:59:45,930 --> 00:59:49,710
Okay. Thank you very much. We're going to go to the question by Councillor Janine now. Thank you.

671
00:59:50,530 --> 00:59:52,410
Probably don't even have to ask now.

672
00:59:53,010 --> 00:59:53,350
Oh, well.

673
00:59:53,430 --> 00:59:56,890
So, through your worship to Jeff.

674
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:29,980
Two-day supply storage that the pipe we're supposed to have for the amount of people that are using it. Sorry, for every water source, we're required to keep two days worth of storage. So, that issue has come up in the past with the topic principally in relation to supply this procure from the town of Hollywood pipeline. It's kind of where that two-day

675
01:00:29,980 --> 01:00:36,740
storage. Okay. You know, guideline comes from, generally that wouldn't be the rule we would

676
01:00:36,740 --> 01:00:41,540
apply for a system that has its own storage. Like, that was more through the nature of the agreement

677
01:00:42,220 --> 01:00:47,260
through calling one new tech, than our typical approach to water storage. It's much more

678
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:54,640
equation derived from the anticipated population for how big that is. Population says it's this

679
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:57,240
take a fire flow, you'd be able to fire it for this long.

680
01:00:58,260 --> 01:00:59,940
You know, and that goes into storage.

681
01:01:00,460 --> 01:01:01,720
That's the majority of what's in there.

682
01:01:01,860 --> 01:01:04,160
There is emergency storage and equalization storage,

683
01:01:04,340 --> 01:01:05,640
but we won't get into that.

684
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:06,800
We need more.

685
01:01:07,980 --> 01:01:09,860
And the good news is that that pipeline

686
01:01:09,860 --> 01:01:11,300
is likely going to be able to convey it.

687
01:01:11,540 --> 01:01:14,260
It's particularly, we put a new boundary man around

688
01:01:14,260 --> 01:01:15,940
to help move it around the area.

689
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:18,840
And it doesn't matter where the storage is located.

690
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:20,620
To some extent, it does.

691
01:01:20,620 --> 01:01:27,240
Because as I noted, when it's a fire, the loss of pressure through the pipe is a function

692
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:31,720
of length and diameter, but we've run it through the model that we have at the Township

693
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:37,220
Water System with the assumptions we said of more water coming from KPR and more stored

694
01:01:37,220 --> 01:01:43,420
at airport road, and the forecasted fire flows and available fire flow and pressure looks

695
01:01:43,420 --> 01:01:43,880
acceptable.

696
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:48,240
So it's just the amount of storage is just determined by the users.

697
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:52,100
And of course all the new developments have new pipes which help can be the water through

698
01:01:52,100 --> 01:01:53,380
and they'll be sized in more detail.

699
01:01:54,020 --> 01:01:54,820
They all come forward.

700
01:01:55,260 --> 01:01:55,580
Okay.

701
01:01:55,820 --> 01:01:56,700
Thank you.

702
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:58,680
Thank you.

703
01:01:58,680 --> 01:01:58,860
Yeah.

704
01:01:58,960 --> 01:01:59,420
Thank you, Worship.

705
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:07,560
And just to add, I think the councilor Denise point to the connection of the two systems,

706
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:17,700
one system, but the connection of KPR and Airport Road, the connection of that and trying

707
01:02:17,700 --> 01:02:23,680
to loop them together, give you better flow with the storage.

708
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:29,980
That's more critical than having the two-day storage that was assumed as part of the,

709
01:02:30,700 --> 01:02:34,020
if there was a connection to the, to the calling of the pipeline.

710
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:38,340
Excellent question so far.

711
01:02:38,820 --> 01:02:42,180
I'm going to go back to Paul unless you had something.

712
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:42,500
No?

713
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:43,580
Paul, you're up next.

714
01:02:43,580 --> 01:02:43,940
Go ahead.

715
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:45,680
Just clarification to our clerk.

716
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:54,000
I do understand we've got a meeting posted for September 14th, that's part of our regular meeting.

717
01:02:54,260 --> 01:03:00,180
I thought we would be doing this under a planning meeting, but we're doing this under a regular council meeting here.

718
01:03:00,660 --> 01:03:05,100
Through your worship to the Deputy Mayor, this is an important matter, it's a strong mayor decision.

719
01:03:05,580 --> 01:03:08,960
So we are putting it forefront at our regular meeting in September.

720
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:13,100
We are getting low on council meetings before the next term, so we need to move forward.

721
01:03:13,100 --> 01:03:17,100
So, staff know that that's coming on as a public meeting during the regular meeting.

722
01:03:17,380 --> 01:03:18,400
It's always on the agenda.

723
01:03:18,540 --> 01:03:22,340
You see it, we just normally don't have any items, but this is a priority for the municipality.

724
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,080
So, then a question you just brought up.

725
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:27,700
I know the mayor loses his strong mayor powers.

726
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:33,040
Is it a continuation of his strong mayor powers to continue this application?

727
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:38,480
Through your worship to the deputy mayor, we still have to follow the guidelines under the Planning Act,

728
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:44,460
And we still have to hold a public meeting, and we still had to follow the statutory notice period for that.

729
01:03:45,020 --> 01:03:45,560
Thank you.

730
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:48,260
Thank you, very good.

731
01:03:48,980 --> 01:03:52,980
Other questions, Mr. Broderick, Mr. McArthur, Mr. Walker?

732
01:03:53,760 --> 01:04:01,680
All right, I would have a couple, if I can, and since you're here, Jeff, I appreciate we're going to go right back to water again.

733
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:09,560
In your notes, in your presentation, it talked about an MCEA would be required for an alternate water source.

734
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:15,700
Looking at the investment that the townships already made in the KPR site,

735
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:26,580
there were four wells that were investigated on that site and identified as sources, all four of them are identified as individual sources.

736
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:33,640
As I understand the project right now, we are going to be accessing two of those wells of the four.

737
01:04:34,260 --> 01:04:36,300
So is that a correct statement?

738
01:04:36,620 --> 01:04:40,880
We're using two of the four in the project that we're building right this minute.

739
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:44,560
My recollection is they're all being built.

740
01:04:44,700 --> 01:04:46,440
They're certainly all permitted to be constructed.

741
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:50,100
And they're in the approval from the Minister of Environment.

742
01:04:50,660 --> 01:04:54,560
They may not be needed on day one in terms of you don't need to turn them all on.

743
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:59,880
Right, because it's just more capacity than you need in the very near future.

744
01:05:00,540 --> 01:05:02,560
That's where I think that stands, I could confirm that.

745
01:05:03,020 --> 01:05:09,320
Yeah, as again, as I understand it, we're going to be building all the pump or all of the wells.

746
01:05:09,660 --> 01:05:16,440
But we're not going to be turning to the pumps or KPR three and

747
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:19,940
four until the time that we have that expansion requirement.

748
01:05:20,380 --> 01:05:28,160
So, like, we'll have the ability to do it, but it's a matter of a little future investment that'll be needed to make that happen.

749
01:05:29,060 --> 01:05:31,780
Yeah, I would need my hunches.

750
01:05:31,940 --> 01:05:33,180
Again, they would probably use them.

751
01:05:33,460 --> 01:05:35,520
I expect they will rotate through all of them, right?

752
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:41,680
In terms of trying to make sure they're all ready to go if they're needed as opposed to just using two and leaving two to sit.

753
01:05:42,220 --> 01:05:44,700
You probably kind of want to exercise them essentially, right?

754
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:45,740
And rotate through.

755
01:05:46,100 --> 01:05:46,200
Yeah.

756
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:47,960
I could check with the construction team.

757
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:48,980
Let's check what I am.

758
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:53,220
He's been watching that project, he might be there even closer than I am.

759
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:58,500
Yeah, I think your worship, that's Jeff nailed it.

760
01:05:58,940 --> 01:06:05,540
All four are going to be put in production, I call it, the volume that it's going to produce

761
01:06:05,540 --> 01:06:10,860
isn't going to be needed right away until more build out is done.

762
01:06:11,700 --> 01:06:17,940
But Jeff's cracked, there's going to be a rotation between the four on an as needed basis.

763
01:06:17,940 --> 01:06:24,820
basis, with lots of built in redundancy, if one of the well's 5, 10 years from now needs

764
01:06:24,820 --> 01:06:31,900
to be worked on. We have three other ones there to take its place. So, they'll all be

765
01:06:31,900 --> 01:06:40,860
producing water on a rotational basis. On an as needed basis, the volume or the frequency,

766
01:06:40,860 --> 01:06:51,140
I guess we'll increase as needed, as building hopefully ramps up here in the next year or something.

767
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:52,100
Yeah, certainly.

768
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:59,560
Again, this goes back to the design of this whole project, is that it will gradually move forward.

769
01:06:59,960 --> 01:07:02,240
I mean, we're going to have to get the infrastructure in place.

770
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:10,010
And then the planning and building department will be very busy receiving applications to build more homes.

771
01:07:10,010 --> 01:07:18,010
And as those more homes come online, and as more people move to our community there will be more demand on the water system.

772
01:07:18,250 --> 01:07:25,010
So I think it's very wise of how we're spending this money to build this system, to have the four wells available.

773
01:07:25,810 --> 01:07:36,830
I recall talking to one of the engineers about this, Jeff, it wasn't you, it was another one about how the capacity volume that we would need even to reach the

774
01:07:38,170 --> 01:07:42,950
4,000 units in that neighborhood could be achieved with two wells.

775
01:07:43,510 --> 01:07:46,210
And that was the conversation we had that we could achieve it.

776
01:07:46,310 --> 01:07:50,810
But you're right, that would put huge demand on those two wells all the time.

777
01:07:51,090 --> 01:07:55,390
So by cycling through, Dan, as you're suggesting, that's a little news to me, but

778
01:07:55,390 --> 01:08:01,150
I'm happy to hear it because it does demonstrate that we have the capacity to have redundant

779
01:08:01,150 --> 01:08:06,670
systems as well as to keep those other wells functioning well, correctly perhaps.

780
01:08:06,670 --> 01:08:08,990
So anyway, thank you very much for that.

781
01:08:09,290 --> 01:08:17,510
So that MCEA, is that a step that we would have to engage to as part of this process?

782
01:08:17,650 --> 01:08:23,310
Are we going to have to do that and go through that process as well, even though we have approved water source?

783
01:08:23,550 --> 01:08:27,970
So the KPR facility, I guess in an early step, that's all been completed in the past.

784
01:08:28,270 --> 01:08:32,310
I can't remember how many years ago now, but seven years ago or something like that.

785
01:08:32,310 --> 01:08:36,150
That facility was approved under the IA, it was an addendum to the Stainer IA.

786
01:08:37,430 --> 01:08:45,430
And so now it's through the future facilities, such as a reservoir or a new well at a new site or

787
01:08:45,430 --> 01:08:51,350
a new wastewater, all would have requirements to satisfy the requirements of the Missile Class IA.

788
01:08:51,910 --> 01:08:57,250
There are proposed changes to that that are actually anticipated in the new year, but

789
01:08:57,250 --> 01:08:59,650
under the current framework, they would require it.

790
01:08:59,650 --> 01:09:08,030
It's anticipated that if it rolls out, like we think it's going to roll out, some of them may be pre-approved as we move forward, it should get easier out of here.

791
01:09:09,630 --> 01:09:17,770
Okay. All I can ask there is to make sure you keep counsel informed of that. This is who's along. So that's great. Can I ask another question? I'm looking for other members.

792
01:09:18,170 --> 01:09:26,470
I have another question then. I'm going to switch over to the wastewater treatment plant agreement. We have a terrific agreement with our partners in the town of Osaga Beach.

793
01:09:28,230 --> 01:09:36,730
you referred to the pumping station, is that SCS-2, is that what that is, the one that's probably public work building?

794
01:09:37,330 --> 01:09:46,590
That's okay, so SCS-2, it does have the capacity to meet the requirements that we have currently building the current settlement area.

795
01:09:47,610 --> 01:09:56,310
Upgrades to that facility because of inputs that could come there, is that been sort of thought out as far as

796
01:09:56,310 --> 01:09:58,690
how extensive that could be?

797
01:09:59,130 --> 01:10:04,150
Are we thinking of another 30-foot dig into that soil,

798
01:10:05,230 --> 01:10:08,450
or is that an above-ground, mid-ground sort of project?

799
01:10:10,290 --> 01:10:13,790
So I do believe there'll be either significant upgrades

800
01:10:13,790 --> 01:10:15,690
to the SPS-2, or an alternate,

801
01:10:16,410 --> 01:10:18,570
like a new replacement that's larger,

802
01:10:18,930 --> 01:10:19,830
required in the future.

803
01:10:20,650 --> 01:10:23,490
The one that is constructed is ready to deal

804
01:10:23,490 --> 01:10:25,230
with the first half of the number

805
01:10:25,230 --> 01:10:30,350
that's supposed to go to Wisega, and the pipes are ready for the full agreement.

806
01:10:31,070 --> 01:10:35,310
They would need to be an upgrade to the pumpings within the existing building, essentially

807
01:10:35,310 --> 01:10:40,310
replacing pumps to go to the second stage, so it's a relatively modest upgrade to get

808
01:10:40,310 --> 01:10:41,850
to the agreement that was anticipated.

809
01:10:42,450 --> 01:10:46,910
Go on beyond that, we haven't really looked into that yet, whether there is room to cram

810
01:10:46,910 --> 01:10:51,730
more or with where the other development is, which is actually downhill from where that

811
01:10:51,730 --> 01:10:51,950
is.

812
01:10:52,090 --> 01:10:53,550
Yeah, it's hard to get that.

813
01:10:53,550 --> 01:10:59,590
So there's a lot of gravity there that helps it might be a blend of the two, but we'll sort that out in the future.

814
01:10:59,830 --> 01:11:01,630
But it would be more pumping capacity for us.

815
01:11:01,970 --> 01:11:07,610
Yeah, I'm kind of thinking of whether we need to sort of take another look at the site there.

816
01:11:08,090 --> 01:11:14,130
Do we need, like, will we need more real estate around that current building to build out?

817
01:11:14,530 --> 01:11:19,310
Or are we comfortable in the size of the building we have right now there to do the works internally?

818
01:11:19,310 --> 01:11:29,230
Is that I'm just seeking a construction project here to add on to that wastewater treatment volume that we're going to need when we make this settlement boundary expansion.

819
01:11:30,510 --> 01:11:36,590
Are we going to need more space there, and this is another large project that we'll be facing.

820
01:11:37,010 --> 01:11:38,250
Dan, maybe that's for you.

821
01:11:38,250 --> 01:11:45,870
You know, Jeff may be able to correct me if I'm wrong, but as he pointed out that the

822
01:11:45,870 --> 01:11:51,230
force main is going to a second beager size, yeah appropriately, I think there is space

823
01:11:51,230 --> 01:12:00,150
in the pump hose that's over the pump hose, it's the wet well, it's the wet well that

824
01:12:00,150 --> 01:12:07,610
the sewage goes into, I think that's the general theme of that is, and if we need a little

825
01:12:07,610 --> 01:12:09,430
a bit more room, we don't know all that area.

826
01:12:09,890 --> 01:12:11,270
But I think the building itself,

827
01:12:11,590 --> 01:12:14,770
I think you just add either larger pump or more pumps to it

828
01:12:15,370 --> 01:12:17,150
with an additional storage area.

829
01:12:17,710 --> 01:12:20,830
I think this, what I understood it to be constructively.

830
01:12:21,410 --> 01:12:23,470
I think for the original service area,

831
01:12:24,130 --> 01:12:26,650
I think there was hope that it would be expanded at that site,

832
01:12:27,190 --> 01:12:30,090
but because the new area is essentially downhill,

833
01:12:30,890 --> 01:12:32,950
it's like can you get it back into the existing one

834
01:12:32,950 --> 01:12:33,890
without it being deeper?

835
01:12:34,410 --> 01:12:36,050
We haven't quite got the detail done on that yet.

836
01:12:36,050 --> 01:12:42,410
Okay, so it's presented conservatively and that we need to good you know it will work if you build a new one

837
01:12:42,410 --> 01:12:44,550
Can we optimize it and leverage or?

838
01:12:46,210 --> 01:12:47,610
Or all what's there like

839
01:12:48,930 --> 01:12:52,950
Yes, right and it's it's rated a pump 25

840
01:12:53,610 --> 01:12:58,390
Easily upgraded to 5000 by those ultimate numbers are well beyond that right so

841
01:12:58,390 --> 01:13:04,910
I need an expectable probability station eventually when all that group materializes exciting stuff

842
01:13:04,910 --> 01:13:15,850
I know. Again, I try to think long-term, as far as into the future, what kind of expenses the committee could be facing, what we're looking at.

843
01:13:16,150 --> 01:13:29,650
So I look at it, we have a really good investment in this particular SCS-2, or SPS-2, and the fact that we have real estate around it, if we had to do an extra wet well, we already have space to do that.

844
01:13:29,650 --> 01:13:38,770
we can incorporate that into that site without too much issue and it can be engineered and it can be built

845
01:13:39,730 --> 01:13:44,830
given the resources that we have available to us. So all right, so that's good for that,

846
01:13:44,930 --> 01:13:50,330
and I think that that agreement Mr. Ferguson and I had a talk about that agreement some months ago

847
01:13:50,330 --> 01:13:55,690
about the fact that it's you know it'll be many years until we reach that point where we have

848
01:13:55,690 --> 01:13:56,950
I have to renegotiate that agreement.

849
01:13:57,130 --> 01:14:02,790
The good news is that the pipe that connects us from Stainer to the Visage Beach wastewater treatment plant will handle the capacity.

850
01:14:03,550 --> 01:14:07,210
So we don't have to open up those pipes again, which is great.

851
01:14:07,430 --> 01:14:08,970
So we're really in a good spot there.

852
01:14:10,250 --> 01:14:13,630
So I look to my council if there's other questions, no further?

853
01:14:14,690 --> 01:14:21,450
All right, can I just ask a question and a staff regarding the First Nations and

854
01:14:21,450 --> 01:14:28,210
addition to consultations? Can we just confirm? Did we receive any responses, Steve, or Patrick?

855
01:14:28,470 --> 01:14:34,230
Did we receive any responses on that? Or are we still going to engage consultations with

856
01:14:34,230 --> 01:14:36,790
them to seek their inputs on this?

857
01:14:38,610 --> 01:14:46,670
As of our last discussions with your staff, there haven't been any responses yet, but there

858
01:14:46,670 --> 01:14:54,710
There is some time here between now and the September 14th meeting, so we'll continue monitoring and following up.

859
01:14:55,150 --> 01:14:57,090
Okay, I think we've got an answer on.

860
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:28,720
We haven't received anything, but they have been emailed as well as mail the notice, but we haven't received anything yet. Okay, so we're still engaging and making sure that we have those consultations. That's good. All right, that's great. And I guess the last thing is back to the county issue, which Derek, this might be for you if I can. Moving this whole project as a recommendation from this council as we go to a full council meeting and get the public input.

861
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:38,780
and we get that report and we take OPA for, and we move it over to the county, and then the province of Ontario is removing the county authority to make these type of decisions anyway.

862
01:15:39,020 --> 01:15:58,400
So, are we facing a roadblock, do you think, or are we going to be looking at changes to the county system, given their timeline of when they give up the authority to make those decisions on planning matters?

863
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:00,380
Derek, what do you think?

864
01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:07,200
Through your worship, it's a great question and one I've been in connection with Nathan

865
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:08,120
Westendorp there.

866
01:16:09,180 --> 01:16:16,760
He and as well as other staff have informed me that the county will still have their decision

867
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:18,840
making authority come November 4th.

868
01:16:19,020 --> 01:16:24,240
I think it's just those three municipalities in this bill Bradford and Newtech that will

869
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:28,220
will operate kind of as a single tier municipality and not require counties approval authority.

870
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:37,580
So following the election and on that date that the province did set out county, the county of Simco is still our approval authority for planning act decisions.

871
01:16:38,460 --> 01:16:45,100
What remains in question is what county council will look like come November 4th as I know the numbers are dwindling, and

872
01:16:45,100 --> 01:16:52,380
when they will actually have their next county council meeting, but we're in constant communication with the county and

873
01:16:52,380 --> 01:17:05,080
Nathan and his team to sort this out and just want to point out that in no way does our decision affect their decision like they will still formulate their own planning rationale.

874
01:17:05,890 --> 01:17:14,540
It doesn't necessarily mean that the county is going to automatically approve it, but they will still have to go through their approval process to amend their county official plan.

875
01:17:14,540 --> 01:17:19,360
All right, thank you for sharing that with everyone here, appreciate that.

876
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:25,140
One more time, is there any further questions, so we'll take the mic a lot here, okay, you're all good?

877
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:32,640
Well, listen, thank you very much, staff, thank you very much to our consultants, thank you to Bernside, Jeff, to have you guys here.

878
01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:37,780
This is certainly a positive step forward to get us to this point.

879
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:44,520
Madam Clerk, the advertisements are out to advise the public about a public meeting where we hope to have a public meeting.

880
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:50,400
have anybody who's interested in this particular issue come forward for the 14th.

881
01:17:50,940 --> 01:17:59,080
We will certainly endeavor to make that meeting agenda not as heavy, Madam Clerk, hint, hint.

882
01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:04,800
Well, it's just, it's a tough one because we have so many other departments we have to deal

883
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:05,640
with at the same time.

884
01:18:06,180 --> 01:18:10,340
It's just, it's, it's, it's going to be a big decision and an opportunity, thank you very

885
01:18:10,340 --> 01:18:10,840
much for that.

886
01:18:10,980 --> 01:18:14,280
Okay, so if there's nothing further, we do have a small recommendation

887
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:15,880
here, which is just to receive this.

888
01:18:16,180 --> 01:18:19,360
So, again, I want to thank our staff and our consultants and

889
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:20,960
Burnside Engineering, et cetera.

890
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:23,540
And thank you, Council, for all these terrific questions.

891
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:30,320
Recommendation says, be it resolved that Council of the Township of Clearview hereby receive, report PV0342026.

892
01:18:30,580 --> 01:18:34,600
This is the Stainer Settlement Area Boundary Expansion Phase 1 Status Update,

893
01:18:34,980 --> 01:18:41,100
stated August 26, 2026 for information, moved by the Deputy Mayor, seconded by Mr. Walker.

894
01:18:41,540 --> 01:18:42,240
Thank you very much, sir.

895
01:18:42,820 --> 01:18:46,420
Any questions on that motion? Seeing none, I'll call it. All in favour?

896
01:18:47,420 --> 01:18:49,240
Carried unanimous. Thank you very much.

897
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:55,400
Council, this is a special meeting but we do have the confirmatory by-law for this meeting as we do.

898
01:18:56,320 --> 01:19:04,260
It says it was all the by-law 2559 being a by-law to confirm the proceedings of the August 26, 2026 council meeting.

899
01:19:04,260 --> 01:19:08,580
be presented and read a first, second, and third time finally passed, the 26th of August,

900
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:13,160
2026, Councillor Denny. Thank you very much. Councillor MacArthur, thank you.

901
01:19:13,860 --> 01:19:19,460
And the by-laws have been read. Any questions? Seeing none, all in favour? By-law carries, thank

902
01:19:19,460 --> 01:19:24,360
you. Councillor, we're out there in motion to adjourn for our special meeting. 6.40, we're

903
01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:29,120
going to call it 49, by the time we get there. 6.49, maybe we should all buy a ticket.

904
01:19:30,540 --> 01:19:35,180
Councillor Brodwick, Deputy Mayor, would you like to move that? Motion to adjourn. All those

905
01:19:35,180 --> 01:19:40,160
in favour? Thank you very much. Very good folks. Thank you very much for joining us.
