The Chair advised that this was a public meeting to consider an amendment to the
Township of West Lincoln’s Zoning By-law as submitted by Eric & Wendy Pitkin (File
No. 1601-005-15)
EXPLANATION OF THE PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE APPLICATION:
A complete application for rezoning has been submitted for property legally described
as Part Lot 25, Concession 2, Part 1 on Registered Plan 30R-11023, in the former
Township of Gainsborough, now in the Township of West Lincoln. The property is
municipally known as 3905 Regional Road 63 (Canborough Road), on the north-west
corner of Boyle Road and Regional Road 63, located within the Hamlet Settlement
Area of Boyle.
This application is required to rezone the property from Rural Commercial RC 94-94
(which allowed a dress shop and accessory residential use, secondary to the
commercial use in the house) to Residential R1 with an exception to allow a Home
Industry in an accessory building as outlined in section 3.52(a) of the Township of
West Lincoln’s Zoning By-law. The rezoning application is required prior to the
construction of a new dwelling on the property with no commercial component located
therein.
The Chair stated that the Planning Act requires in Section 34(12) that before passing a
Zoning By-law Amendment, Council must hold at least one public meeting for the
purpose of informing the public in respect of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment.
The Chair noted that the purpose of this public meeting is to receive comments and
answers questions from the public regarding the proposed amendment to the
Township of West Lincoln Zoning By-law.
The Chair stressed that, at this point, no decision had been made on the proposed
amendment being considered this evening and that any comments received would be
taken into account by Council in their consideration.
The Chair advised that the Planning Act requires in Section 34(13) that Council advise
the public that if a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public
meeting or make written submissions to the Township of West Lincoln before the bylaw is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of
Council for the Township of West Lincoln to the Ontario Municipal Board.
The Chair requested that the Deputy Clerk advise of the method and dates by which
notice of the public meeting was given.
The Deputy Clerk advised that proper notice of the public meeting was given by way of
individual notice dated March 9th, 2015.
The Chair requested the Director of Planning & Building, Mr. Brian Treble, to please
explain the purpose and reason for the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment for the
Township of West Lincoln for property municipally known as 3905 Regional Road 63
(Canborough Road) as owned by Eric and Wendy Pitkin.
The Director of Planning & Building reviewed Technical Report No. PD-040-15 dated
April 13, 2015.

The Director of Planning & Building advised Members of the Committee and Public
that the applicants had amended their rezoning application to change the zoning of the
subject property to a straight Residential R1 zone with no home industry provision.
The Chair asked if the applicant or his authorized agent was present and wished to
speak to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment application.
Mr. and Mrs. Pitkin noted that they were the owners of the subject lands; however,
they advised that they had no comments at this time.
The Chair asked if there were any oral or written submissions from anyone present
regarding the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment. The Chair advised that this may
be the final Public meeting being held with respect to this application; therefore, he
noted that if any Members of the Public have comments they should state them now
as the OMB may not consider comments made during any other Council and/or
Committee meetings.
There were no oral or written submissions from any member of the public present
regarding the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment.
The Chair asked if any Members of the Committee had any oral or written submissions
on the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment. The Chair advised that this may be the
only Public meeting being held with respect to this application; therefore, he noted that
if any Members of the Committee had any comments they should state them now as
the OMB may not consider comments made during any other Council and/or
Committee meetings.
The following issues and/or concerns were raised by Members of the Committee
regarding the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment and responses were provided by
the Director of Planning & Building:
(1)
Further clarification was requested regarding the proposed changes that were
now being brought forward by the owners from their original application
(Response = The owners were now proposing to strictly rezone the property as
Residential R1 with the Rural Commercial component being removed and they
were proposing to build a new home on the property and demolish the existing
home that had been rezoned in 1994 to permit a commercial operation, which
was a ladies clothing store on the ground floor with the owner’s residence in the
remainder of the building).
(2)
Clarification was requested regarding what a daylighting triangle is? (Response
= means an area free of buildings and structures for visibility purposes, and
which is determined by measuring from the point of intersection of the street
lines for properties located on a corner lot).
The Chair advised that a Technical Report was being considered this evening by the
Planning Committee and that a recommendation report would be forthcoming to a
future Planning/Building/Environmental Committee and/or Council Meeting. The Chair
noted that once the Planning/Building/Environmental Committee and/or Council has
made a decision with respect to the Zoning By-law Amendment and if approved by
Council, a notice of its passing will be circulated with an appeal period. The Chair
advised that there was a Public Meeting Attendance sign in sheet, which was located
Page 64
April 13, 2015
Page 4
along the wall near the exit doors, which he asked all present to sign if they wished to
be notified of Council’s decision with respect to this application.
The Chair advised that the public was invited to stay in attendance to hear the
Planning/Building/Environmental Committee’s comments and/or decision on this
application which will take place following the public meetings being held this evening.
The Chair advised that this public meeting with respect to the proposed Zoning By-law
Amendment is concluded at the hour of 6:45 p.m.
(b)
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE TOWNSHIP OF WEST LINCOLN’S ZONING
BY-LAW – Zoning By-law Amendment – James Smith & Darlene Black (File No. 1601006-15)
The Chair advised that this was a public meeting to consider an amendment to the
Township of West Lincoln’s Zoning By-law as submitted by James Smith & Darlene
Black (File No. 1601-006-15)
EXPLANATION OF THE PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE APPLICATION:
A complete application for rezoning has been submitted for property legally described
as Part Lot 7, Concession 3 in the former Township of Caistor, now in the Township of
West Lincoln. The property is municipally known as 8135 Concession 2 Road.
The application for rezoning has been made to fulfill a condition of surplus farm
severance application B1/2015WL which was approved by the Committee of
Adjustment on February 18, 2015. This application is to rezone the retained
agricultural lands (Parcel 2) to Agricultural Purposes Only (APO) with exception to
recognize a reduced frontage on Concession 2 Road, and rezone the severed
residential property (Parcel 1) to Rural Residential (RuR) with exception to recognize a
reduced side yard setback for an accessory building.
The Chair stated that the Planning Act requires in Section 34(12) that before passing a
Zoning By-law Amendment, Council must hold at least one public meeting for the
purpose of informing the public in respect of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment.
The Chair noted that the purpose of this public meeting is to receive comments and

Township of West Lincoln Zoning By-law.

amendment being considered this evening and that any comments received would be

The Chair advised that the Planning Act requires in Section 34(13) that Council advise
the public that if a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public
meeting or make written submissions to the Township of West Lincoln before the bylaw is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of
Council for the Township of West Lincoln to the Ontario Municipal Board.
The Chair requested that the Deputy Clerk advise of the method and dates by which

the OMB may not consider comments made during any other Council and/or
Committee meetings.
The following issues and/or concerns were raised by Members of the Committee
regarding the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment and responses were provided by
the Director of Planning & Building:
(1)
The number of rezoning applications that this Council has considered since
December 2014 with respect to surplus farm dwellings in the agricultural area
(approximately 8 applications) and whether this policy will create problems in
the future should this pace and trend continue (Response = staff share the
same concerns if the rezoning of agricultural lands to APO in perpetuity trend
continues).
(2)
The sterilization of land causing difficulty for a small/young farmer to start a
legitimate farming operation who may need to build a house on these lands due
to affordability.
(3)
The sterilization of agricultural lands through the severance of surplus farm
dwellings may minimize the amount of agricultural related uses that can be put

(7)

Page 6
on those lands that are zoned APO in perpetuity. (Response = The Region of
Niagara has allowed surplus farm dwelling severances for a longtime (prior to
2005 applicants could remove the APO zone through the rezoning process after
a minimum of 10 years); however, it appeared that applications were increasing
since the APO in perpetuity policy was implemented by the Province in 2005).
The impact of allowing surplus farm dwellings to be severed as they are
normally purchased by non-farmers who then complain about the noise and
odours emanating from abutting/surrounding farming operations.
The need for future discussion regarding the surplus farm dwelling severance
policy and whether the Region/Township needs to place a restriction on the
APO in perpetuity policy similar to the County of Perth who currently do not
permit surplus farm severances. (Response = staff will pursue further
discussions with the Region regarding the impact of surplus farm severances
over the last 10 years (fragmentation in the countryside) and report back at a
future Planning Committee meeting).
Confirmation of when retirement lots were removed from Provincial Policy and
surplus farm severances were permitted? (Response = These were two
separate policies. In 2005 the Province removed farm retirement lots in their
entirety and allowed surplus farm dwellings with further restrictions (i.e. from
“APO for a minimum of 10 years” to “APO in perpetuity”.)
Conflicting information contained in Report PD-035-15 with respect to the
amount of land that was included with the residential home severance. The last
paragraph on Page 1 of the reports states 0.77 hectare whereas the Region’s
letter states 0.73 hectares (Response = the last paragraph of Page 1 of Report
No. PD-035-15 should read 0.728 hectares not 0.77 hectares).
The surplus farm severance policy provides farmers the opportunity to purchase
additional farm land without becoming landlords as farming is a very expensive
business/occupation and it is difficult for farmers to make a living off small farm
holdings and therefore they need larger agricultural holdings in order to pay and
justify the cost of purchasing farm equipment, which has become very costly.
Agricultural lands need to be protected and that municipalities should be
recognizing and promoting opportunities for farmers to purchase and farm
agricultural lands rather than allowing these lands to be destroyed forever
through development.
The Province should address the APO in perpetuity policy and reverse it back
to the former APO policy.
An explanation was provided regarding why staff were bringing forward
technical reports (Response = the benefit of providing a technical report first is
to ensure: (1) the public have opportunity to provide comments and ask
questions; and, (2) that Members of Council have been given the opportunity to
learn, understand and have fulsome discussions with respect to the nature of
the applications and the policies that they are being asked to make decisions
on).
Were any public comments received to date for this application? (Response =
no public comments were received to date).
Has the Township received comments from the key agencies with respect to
this application and are they included in Staff’s Technical Report? (Response =
yes, believe that all key public agency comments have been received to date,
which have been included in the technical report).
Page 67

(14)
(15)
(16)
Page 7
During the Planning Committee meeting an amendment will be presented to
bring a recommendation report for this application to the April 27th, 2015
Council Meeting instead of waiting another month.
The processes taken by the Township should be consistent for all applications
and there should be further discussion whether applications should be
considered over a minimum of two months in order to allow members of the
public, Council and/or agencies to provide comments and/or ask questions prior
to any decisions being made.
If an analysis is undertaken by the Region regarding the impact of surplus farm
severances, it was suggested that the analysis should provide detailed
information relating to location and size of the agricultural parcels (Response =
Staff are hopeful this issue will be addressed at the April 24th Area Planners
meeting and that staff will have an opportunity to provide feedback at the next
Planning Committee meeting).
The Chair advised that a Technical Report was being considered this evening by the
Planning Committee and that a recommendation report would be forthcoming to a
future Planning/Building/Environmental Committee and/or Council Meeting. The Chair
noted that once the Planning/Building/Environmental Committee and/or Council have
made a decision with respect to the Zoning By-law Amendment and if approved by
Council, a notice of its passing will be circulated with an appeal period. The Chair
advised that there was a Public Meeting Attendance Sign in sheet, which was located
along the wall near the exit doors, which he asked all present to sign if they wished to
be notified of Council’s decision with respect to this application.
The Chair advised that the public was invited to stay in attendance to hear the
Planning/Building/Environmental Committee’s comments and/or decision on this
application which will take place following the public meetings being held this evening.
The Chair advised that this public meeting with respect to the proposed Zoning By-law
Amendment is concluded at the hour of 7:27 p.m.

(between Boyle Road & Victoria Ave.) would have any effect on the Township’s ability

ITEM P37-15
Re: Report No. PD-048-15 – Recommendation Report - Affordable Housing – Niagara
Regional Housing Request for Proposal
Mayor Joyner advised that it was his understanding that, under the current RFP round,
the Region requires that the applicants, who must be non-profit organizations or
support agencies, must be shovel ready; therefore, he suggested that if Council had
interest to bringing an affordable housing project to West Lincoln, a small subcommittee could be established to determine if there is an interest and subsequently
prepare an application for the next RFP round in early 2016.
The Director of Planning & Building advised that it was his understanding that the
municipality’s role in trying to bring an affordable housing project to the municipality
could relate to such things as: (1) availability of a parcel of municipally owned land; or
(2) the provision of financial support in the form of waiving planning application fees,
building permit fees, development charge reductions or funding through a Community
Improvement Plan (CIP).
Mayor Joyner advised that he was not looking to put a recommendation forward this
evening with respect to establishing an Affordable Housing sub-committee; however,
he wanted to put the idea forward for Members of the Committee to think about and
perhaps a recommendation could be brought forward at a later time when it may be
more appropriate.
The CAO advised that he and the Director of Planning & Building have had
discussions with respect to the issue that Mayor Joyner brought forward this evening
and in the conclusion of Report PD-048-15, staff were recommending to come back
with a report providing options such as formulating a committee to discuss submission
of an application to the Region for the next RFP round of Affordable Housing
allocations and funding.

FROM:
Brian Treble, Director of Planning and Building
DATE:
April 27, 2015
SUBJECT:
Report PD-036-15
Authorizing By-law for Site Plan Agreement
With J. W. Sheldrick Sanitation Ltd.
The above report was considered by Township Planning/Building/Environmental Committee on
April 13, 2015. This report recommended that a new site plan agreement be completed and
signed with J. W. Sheldrick Sanitation Ltd.
Since then, information on the title search was received from Sullivan Mahoney. This search has
determined that in January of 2014 the company name was changed from J. W. Sheldrick
Sanitation Ltd. to Modern Landfill Inc.
As a result, this memo is written to advise that the report under Item P35-15 (Report PD-036-15)
should have referenced Modern Landfill Inc. and not J. W. Sheldrick Sanitation Ltd. Accordingly,
Item P35-15 will be pulled and an amendment will be requested to change the references in the
recommendation to reflect the name of Modern Landfill Inc.
The authorizing by-law will be considered at the April 27, 2015 Council meeting, and has been
prepared to reflect an agreement with Modern Landfill Inc.
This is provided for the benefit of Council to explain the revisions to the authorizing by-law.

John Glazier
Mr. John Glazier, in summary, advised as follows:
- Report did not address a couple of things 1) do we really need an arena and 2)
what is the economic benefit if we spend 15 million dollars for a new arena
- Have we accounted for cost over-runs which could be between 25 and 50%?

(d)
Ed Fulford
Mr. Ed Fulford, in summary, advised as follows:
- Expressed concern regarding 7% tax increase which he stated is outrageous
- Roads should be number 1 priority as they are deplorable, as well as sidewalks
- There are all kinds of dead trees on road sides not being attended to
- We have many community centres being used that don’t have the best
kitchens or accessibility
- Should look at a community center that has seniors in mind
- Community Centre should have a splash pad and skate board park
- Should seriously look at if arena can be improved or retrofitted
- New facility should not be at fairgrounds - should be at the Leisureplex
(e)
Chris Freure (President of Minor Hockey)
Mr. Chris Freure read from a prepared statement which is attached as Schedule
F to these minutes.
(f)
Bob Grant
Mr. Bob Grant, in summary, advised as follows:
- When I came here tonight I was against it - we have an arena
- The quote for a community centre is 11 million but 10.5 million is for the arena;
therefore, this is an arena not a Community Centre
- We already have 3 community centres (Arena, Greek Hall and Legion)
- We have an aging demographic - houses being built are geared for 55 + years
- We have a 7% tax increase and a $500,000 commitment to the YMCA
- Saw 10-15 kids at Grimsby Skateboard Park, which has 5 times the
population, we will be lucky if half that many use it
Page 108
April 20, 2015
-
(f)
Page 5
We will need additional staff for a new community centre which will be
$200,000-$300,000 per year
how can we afford all this – when is it going to end - we have to end it before
we start it
David Vandersteen, Foundation of Resources for Teens (FORT)
Mr. David Vandersteen, in summary, advised as follows:
- the FORT program is proof that a new facility is required
- upwards of 35 youth attend our program in the evening
- Smithville is by far our most successful program
- Number 1 complaint by our participants is having to go to the arena to use the
facilities which are insufficient
- FORT is evidence that something else is needed for teens – there is not
enough for them to do
- The new community Centre is very critical for development of the community,
especially for its youth
(f)
Rob Cosby
Mr. Rob Cosby read the Council amendment relating to staff exploring funding to
eliminate the cost differential, from the July 21, 2014 Council meeting (relating to
Item PW38-14) and then, in summary, advised as follows:
- noted that he only saw reference to the issuance of a debenture for the 12
million dollar cost and saw nothing regarding grants and government funding
in the report
- There is no government funding available
- To build new, will result in 12 million dollars of debt for 20 years
- Should consider doing an upgrade/facelift to the arena as nothing has been
done in 40 years
- If the arena is structurally sound, there may be a way to spend less money and
make improvements
- Attended budget meetings and noted concern regarding:
- 25 million dollar cost to bring roads up to standard
- 1 million dollar cost for repair to bridge at Leisureplex
- If we cannot afford to repair the bridge at Leisureplex, why are we considering
a 12 million dollar complex
- If we debenture, it should be for roads – safety of the public should be priority
(ie. bridges and potholes)
- Can’t support this expenditure based on the fact that there are more important
things to spend money on
- don’t think spending 12 million for this proposed facility is wise

Dave Willis – Wade Rd – for 43 years
Public Works Comm.
15-04-20
Mr. Mayor, Council and citizens of West Lincoln
I’m addressing you tonight about the proposed new arena and community center
project that has been proposed. The question arises – do we want it or do we
really need it ??? This presentation is in addition to the ones that I gave at the
Budget Committee, and the Council meetings in March.
I’m concerned that this Council, of which there are 4 new members, are aware of
what went into the RFP (Request for Proposal) that has been issued for the new
complex. I believe 3 responses have been received back and that they will be
presented tonight, along with the staff recommendation.
The figures that I quote can be verified by the AMEX Engineering report and the
Council reports by staff. (Show them) As an aside, there appears to be some
confusion on the dollar amount quoted by the media, this I will address shortly.
The complete replacement of the existing facility was Alternative # 4 from the
Council Report and the AMEX Engineering firm (show docs)
This was chosen by last terms Council, in June, to the estimates of some 13
million dollars (that’s in 2013 dollars). This does not include the wrecking costs
of the old building, taxes or the “soft costs” (of some 30%) associated with new
large infrastructure projects. Now that the project has been deferred to the 2017
Budget, additional inflation costs are also to be added. To my reckoning this
would bring the cost of the project to $18,745,512 in 2017 dollars, plus $100,000
for wrecking costs, plus taxes)
The other 3 alternatives were to rehabilitate, the structurally sound, existing
arena and community center. These 3 options ranged from repairing immediate
problems at $1.8 million (alternate #1) to replacing the front of the building and
upgrading the arena as (alternate #3) to the tune of $6.1 million OR $5.6 million –
if an all year ice making option is not used (that’s a half a million dollar option for
all year ice for an arena with declining usage). These 3 estimates are what I see
as very inflated figures to the actual costs. As an example, Item 10.5 has an
estimate of $2,000 – it is a wooden box around a small electrical panel. Items
2.1 and 2.2 are for $750 each to paint over graffiti and rust stains. Another
inflated estimate is a new time clock at a cost of $25,000 within the next 1 to 2
years. What is wrong with the existing time clock, it isn’t that old !!! These
inflated estimates could easily distort the decision making process.
The usage of the arena has drastically declined in the last 20 years. Revenue
alone in the last 4 years is down 17% or some $40,303. This is substantiated by
the Township advertising that “prime ice time” is available. This was
unnecessary and unheard of in the past when there was not enough “ice time” to
go around !! Kids had to be turned away, as there was no room for them.
Page 112
1
SCHEDULE "A" TO APRIL 20, 2015 PUBLIC WORKS/RECREATION/ARENA COMM. MINUTES
The decline of ice time hours is mainly due to the usage of West Lincoln Minor
Hockey (WLMH).
The enrolment in WLMH is down 50% from 20 years ago.
The proposed Minor Hockey amalgamation of West Lincoln with Grimsby and/or
Lincoln has failed.
At the current rate of decline, our arena is destined to be a “practise rink” by
other centres.
Figure skating and the other General user groups are also trending downward.
As for the new complex with an NHL size, all year ice surface, a walking track,
Splash pad and Seniors center, are these wants OR needs?? You have many
other choices to consider other than alternate # 4.
Another alternate to the Community Center would be the acquisition of the soon
to be vacated St. Martin’s school building. All or part could be used as senior’s
workshops and “hobby rooms”. The building could also be used for youth
activities such as Fort and home to the new larger Smithville Public Library.
Councillors, with this years tax increase of a whopping 6.9%, can you in all good
conscious, add an additional huge burden to the taxpayers shoulders in the near
future ?
Councillors, I urge you to re-think this project, especially with usage dropping.
We simply cannot afford the almost $19 million. I strongly suggest that you study
the Engineering report by AMEC from May 2014 and the staff Reports to Council
dated June and July 16, 2014. You need to stop the RFP process before more
time and expenses are incurred.
The numbers should speak for themselves.
Citizens of West Lincoln – I urge you to contact your Councillors by phone,
voicemail or e-mail before next Monday’s Council meeting to voice your opinion.
Thank You and I am at your service. If I can be of further help or
assistance, don’t hesitate to contact me.

REPORT
TOWNSHIP COUNCIL
DATE:
April 27, 2015
REPORT NO:
PD-052-15
SUBJECT:
Recommendation Report
James Smith and Darlene Black Application for Rezoning (Michael
Benner, Agent)
File No. 1601-006-15
CONTACT:
Rachelle Larocque, Planner II
Brian Treble, Director of Planning and Building
OVERVIEW:
 An application for rezoning was made by James Smith and Darlene Black
to rezone the agricultural lands to Agricultural Purposes Only with
exception and the residential lands to Rural Residential with exception.
This application has been made to fulfill a condition surplus farm consent
application B1/2015WL.
 A Technical Report (PD-035-15) was presented to the
Planning/Building/Environmental Committee on April 13, 2015.
 Township Staff can recommend the approval of this application as it
meets the intent of all Provincial, Regional and Township Policy.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That, report PD-052-15, regarding “James Smith and Darlene Black Application for
Rezoning (Michael Benner, Agent)”, dated April 27, 2015, BE APPROVED.
ALIGNMENT TO STRATEGIC PLAN
 Value
Support initiatives that promote farming, agriculture and entrepreneurial eco-tourism.

Objective
Provide support to local farmers and processors to improve productivity and
competitiveness. Continuing to allow bonafide farmers to sever surplus residences
from their property ensures that they can continue to afford to purchase lands for
farming without accumulating houses that they do not need.
BACKGROUND:
The subject lands are legally described as being Part Lot 7, Concession 3 in the former
Township of Caistor, now in the Township of West Lincoln. The property is municipally
known as 8135 Concession 2 Road. The property is located on the north side of
Concession 2 Road and has frontage on Regional Road 14 and Concession 3 Road as
well.
The application for rezoning has been made to fulfil a condition of a surplus farm
consent application B1/2015WL which severed a 0.77 hectare (1.9 acre) parcel of land
Page 125
PAGE 2
with a residence and a number of accessory buildings to be rezoned to Rural
Residential. The above noted severance application retained a 45 hectare (111 acre)
parcel of agricultural lands for continued agricultural use to be rezoned to Agricultural
Purposes Only.
A Technical Report was presented to Planning Committee at a Public Meeting under the
Planning Act that was held on April 13, 2015
CURRENT SITUATION:
1.
Provincial Policy Statement (PPS)
The PPS guides the growth and development of the Province and provides the general
framework for planning in the Province. All planning decisions must be consistent with
the PPS. The policies regarding Agriculture are within the „Wise Use and Management
of Resources‟ section of the PPS. The lot creation policies in the PPS for the
Agricultural area are very specific and limited in the number of instances where
severances in the agricultural area can occur. The PPS allows for surplus farm
severances in the following instances:
As a result of farm consolidation, provided that the planning authority ensures
that new residential dwellings are prohibited on any vacant remnant parcel of
farmland created by the severance. The approach used to ensure that no new
residential dwellings are permitted on the remnant parcel may be recommended
by the Province, or based on municipal approaches which achieve the same
objective.
The retained agricultural lands will be rezoned to Agricultural Purposes Only, which will
meet the intent of the PPS to reduce the amount of agricultural land removed from
active production. The severed rural residential property will be rezoned to RuR to
recognize the continued residential use on this property. This rezoning meets the intent
of the PPS.
2.
Provincial Growth Plan (P2G)
Applications filed after June 16, 2006 must conform to the Provincial Growth Plan
(Places to Grow). Section 1.4 of the P2G provides direction on how to read the Places
to Grow Plan, specifically noting that: This Plan should be read in conjunction with the
applicable PPS. Since there are no applicable policies within the P2G for this particular
situation, the PPS will be the only set of provincial policies to apply.
3.
Greenbelt Plan
Applications must conform with the Greenbelt Plan if they fall within the mapping
provided with the Greenbelt Plan. Since the subject lands are outside the area
designated in the Greenbelt Plan, the PPS is the provincial policy that applies in this
“The Township of West Lincoln will be a community that values our heritage, preserves our
environmental and natural resources, fosters entrepreneurial spirit and provides excellent
quality of life”
Page 126
PAGE 3
situation.
4.
Regional Official Plan (ROP)
The ROP provides general policies that are to be applied across the Region. The
policies regarding severances in the agricultural area are similar to those found in the
PPS. The policies allow for surplus farm severances as a result of a farm consolidation,
so long as residential dwellings are prohibited in perpetuity on any vacant remnant
parcel of agricultural land.
The policies in the ROP also permit surplus residential lot sizes to be a maximum of 1
acre, or 0.4 hectares, unless it has been identified that additional lands are required for
legal or technical reasons. The location of the house on the property, the location of the
septic system, as well as the location of the westerly lot line that would make it difficult
to farm the area requires the proposed residential lot to be larger than the
recommended minimum lot size. The lands that will compose the residential lot have
historically been used as part of the residential lands, and have not been used for active
cultivation and thus this application is not taking lands out of active farming.
5.
Township of West Lincoln Official Plan (OP)
The Township OP allows for severances in the agricultural area where two or more
farms, being contiguous or non-contiguous have been amalgamated under the
ownership of a bona fide farmer and an existing house, which is capable of habitation, is
considered surplus to the needs of the farmer. The remaining agricultural lands must
be rezoned as Agricultural Purposes Only in perpetuity to prevent any future houses on
the agricultural lands. The policies in the Township‟s new OP state that the new lot
being created should not include any more Good General Agricultural land than is
required to support the residence and private services required to serve that residence.
The Township‟s Official Plan includes a policy that requires that at the time of
severance, including surplus farm severances where a dwelling is already present, the
Minimum Distance Separation Calculation must be completed. Township staff have
completed the MDS I calculation and have identified that there are no encroachment
issues.
Much like the policies in the ROP, the Township OP requires that the rural residential
property that is created be no more than 0.4 hectares, unless there are legal or
technical reasons that require a larger lot. As has previously been outlined, the lot size
was required to be larger to accommodate the septic system, house location, location of
an existing accessory building and the location of the westerly lot line which would have
created an area that was impossible to farm. As such, Township Staff have determined
that the larger lot size is appropriate.
quality of life”
Page 127

6.
Township of West Lincoln Zoning By-Law (ZBL)
The property is currently zoned as Agricultural „A2‟ in the Township‟s Zoning By-law.
The proposal is to rezone the residential property to Rural Residential, which will require
a modification to the zone requirements for the side yard setback for an accessory
structure. The necessary building is located approximately 0.43 metres from the
westerly lot line. The proposed zoning will recognize this reduced setback.
The agricultural lands will be rezoned to prohibit any future dwellings from being
constructed on the property. The rezoning will also recognize the lot frontage of the
agricultural parcel as being deficient along Concession 2 Road at only 90 metres,
whereas 180 metres is required. The farmland has frontage along both Regional Road
14 and Concession 3 Road which exceed the required frontages. There are no
buildings on this property.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
There are no financial implications associated with this application.
INTER-DEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS
The Region of Niagara has provided comment that they have no objections to this
application as it is fulfilling a condition of the consent application that the Region had
requested.
The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority does not object to this rezoning
application as it is fulfilling a condition of the recent consent application. However, if any
new development or site alteration is proposed, a work permit through their office may
be required.
The Building Department has provided no objection to this application.
The Township‟s Drainage Inspector has provided comment that this property is not
within a Municipal Drain watershed, and therefore has no concerns.
The Township Public Works Department has provided no objection to this application.
CONCLUSION
Township Staff have reviewed the application against all applicable planning policy.
The rural residential lot is proposed to be rezoned to RuR with exception to recognize a

Dear Ms. Vraets:
Re:
Consent Application B1/2015WL
8135 Concession 2 Road, Township of West Lincoln
Applicants: Jim Smith and Darlene Black
Hearing Date: February 18, 2015
A pre-consultation meeting was held on March 20, 2014 at the Township of West Lincoln with
Township, Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA), Niagara Regional staff, and the
applicant for the subject application. This application proposes to convey 0.73 hectares (1.8
acres), Parcel 1, with a single detached dwelling, pool, and accessory structures for residential
use, as the disposal of a surplus farm dwelling. The remaining 45 hectares (111.3 acres), Parcel
2, is to be retained for continued agricultural use. The following Provincial and Regional
comments are offered to assist the Township in considering the application.
Provincial and Regional Policy
The subject property is located within the prime agricultural area according to the Provincial
Policy Statement (PPS) and is designated by the Regional Official Plan (ROP) as Good General
Agricultural Area. Provincial and Regional policies recognize that agricultural land is a valuable
asset that must be properly managed and protected. Both the PPS and the ROP permit the
severance of a residence surplus to a farming operation as a result of a farm consolidation
provided that new residential dwellings are prohibited in perpetuity on any vacant remnant
parcel of farmland created by the severance and that the new lot is limited to the minimum size
needed to accommodate the use and appropriate sewage and water services.
The information provided by the applicant indicates that the purchasing farmer owns/leases a
total of 580 acres of farmland in West Lincoln. The purchasing farmer’s principal residence is
located at 956 Smithville Road in West Lincoln. Therefore, the dwelling on the newly acquired
farm parcel is surplus to the applicant’s needs. Based on the information available, we are
satisfied that the application meets the lot creation criteria for a surplus farm dwelling. The
approval of this application must be conditional on the farm parcel (Parcel 2) being rezoned to
preclude new dwellings in perpetuity (i.e. “Agricultural Purposes only” zone) to satisfy the
requirements of the PPS and Regional policies.
Page 133
Page 10
The ROP provides that the size of any new lot shall not exceed an area of 0.4 hectares (1 acre)
except to the extent of any additional area deemed necessary to support a well and private
sewage disposal system. The intent of this policy is to retain as much lands as possible for
agricultural use. The proposed lot area of the new residential lot is 0.73 hectares (1.8 acres),
which exceeds the ROP’s lot size requirement. In addition, Staff notes that the drawing
prepared by Rasch + Hyde Ltd. dated May 6, 2014 indicates a small portion of the northern
perimeter of Parcel 1 contains active farmland. However, given the location of the existing
dwelling and accessory buildings, Regional staff is not opposed to the increased lot size as it
does not appear to result in significant loss of active farmland.
Private Servicing
Staff notes that the Township of West Lincoln is now responsible for their own private septic
system review. As such, the Committee should look to the Township’s comments with respects
to the private septic system requirements.
Core Natural Heritage
The Region’s Core Natural Heritage Map shows an Environmental Conservation Area
associated with Significant Woodlands and an Environmental Protection Area associated with
Provincially Significant Wetlands on northern portion of property (Parcel 2). In addition, a
watercourse that is identified as a Type 2 “Important Fish Habitat” is located on the property. We
note for your information that the southern portion of Parcel 2 contains an area identified by the
Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) through mapping prepared for the Drinking
Water Source Protection Plan as a Highly Vulnerable Aquifer (HVA). Our review of the Ministry
of the Environment’s well records map indicated there is a well on Parcel 2 which can account
for the HVA designation. In accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding and the
protocol between the Region and the NPCA, the NPCA is responsible for review and comment
on all planning applications for impacts on the natural environment. Please refer to the detailed
comments of the NPCA regarding any environmental issues associated with the application.
Conclusion
Regional Development Services staff does not object to the approval of this application from a
Provincial and Regional perspective subject to the comments of the NPCA and subject to the
Committee’s approval being conditional on the remnant farm parcel, (Parcel 2), being rezoned
to preclude any new dwellings in perpetuity (i.e. Agricultural Purposes Only” zone).
Please send notice of the Committee’s decision and a copy of the Hearing minutes when
available. If you have any questions, wish to discuss these comments or would like a hard copy
of the comments, please contact me at extension 3352, or Teresa Gray, Senior Planner, at
extension 3430.

‘AMENDMENT TO BUDGET’ LED Streetlight Conversion Proposal
Brent Julian, C.Tech., rcji, Director of Public Works & Engineering
OVERVIEW:
• The Township currently has 783 High Pressure Sodium (HPS) street lights
• Converting the existing network to Light Emitting Diode (LED ) street light
technology can offer significant savings from energy and maintenance costs
• A proposal from Local Authority Services (LAS) provides savings of 51 to 80 (%)
percent. The estimated payback period is six (6) years
• An amendment to budget in the amount of amount of $393,847.00, to be
transferred from the Contingency Reserve, is requested for the conversion of
LED street lights
• Post project rebate incentives in the amount of $76, 561.00 from the
Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) will significantly reduce the
overall project costs, and will be transferred back into contingencies when
received
• The Contingency Reserve would be reimbursed the remaining balance of
$317,286.00 over the estimated payback period of six (6) years
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That, report RFD PW-11-2015, re: ‘AMENDMENT TO BUDGET’ LED Streetlight
Conversion Proposal”, dated April 27, 2015 be received; and,
2. That, Council accept the proposal submitted by Local Authority Services (LAS) and

8. Consider and develop opportunities to explore the green and clean technology
Key Actions (reference page 25):
3. Develop a Capital Plan to ensure infrastructure capacity will have required capacity and
resources to maintain existing service demand as well as future service capacity demands
BACKGROUND:
The Township currently has 783 streetlight fixtures within the municipality. The cost to
energize and maintain these street lights continues to rise with rising electricity costs, inflation
and increased maintenance costs. In order to mitigate some of the financial burden, Staff has
investigated the conversion of the existing High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lights to new and
greener Light Emitting Diode (LED) technologies.
As part of the approved Corporate Energy Conservation and Demand Plan (CECDM), and
under Ontario Regulation 397/11, the Township is required to submit annual reporting of
energy demand and conservation results in accordance with the CECDM. The CECDM has
identified the conversion to LED street lights within its five (5) year plan. The conversion to
LED street lighting will significantly help the Township reach its reduction targets within the
five (5) year plan.
Local Authority Services (LAS) is a not-for-profit subsidiary of the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario (AMO). In order to assist municipalities, LAS developed a turn-key
operation to convert and upgrade municipal street lighting systems to LED technologies. The
proposal is attached as Attachment ‘A’ of this report.
The Independent Electricity System Operator is currently offering attractive grants for the
conversion of (HPS) street lights to LED technologies.
CURRENT SITUATION:
In order to assist municipalities with their procurement procedures, LAS developed and
circulated a Request for Proposal for retaining a consultant / contractor for the conversion of
street lights to LED. RealTerm Energy and Cree Canada were the successful supply
proponents for the design and installation of LED street lights. RealTerm Energy completes
a full review of the existing system, including a GPS inventory, the required photonic design,
and coordinates the installation. Cree Canada will supply the LED street lights. Currently,
over 90 municipalities within Ontario have upgraded their street lighting network with LAS
and RealTerm Energy. Several municipalities in Niagara have completed, or are in the
quality of life
Page 141
PAGE 3
process of converting to LED lights. Municipalities are experiencing quick payback periods
from their conversion investments. Based on information available today; it is estimated that
the maximum payback period for the Township is 6 years. Further energy cost increases
may reduce this payback period further. Beyond the savings from reduced energy
consumption, the newer LED technology has lower maintenance costs due to solid state
technologies and ten (10) year warranties. The minimum life expectancy of each unit is
twenty (20) years.
The key benefits experienced are:
•
•
•
Dramatically reduced energy consumption – estimated at 66%
Reduced electricity costs – estimated at 51%
Reduced maintenance costs – estimated at 80%
The Province of Ontario’s Independent Electricity Supply Operator currently is offering
attractive rebate incentives for converting HPS to LED street lighting. The current incentive
offerings are expected to expire this calendar year. It is uncertain if these incentive levels will
continue beyond 2015. The project must be completed prior to receiving these rebate
incentives.
Based on the analysis of the Township’s existing system, the overall cost to convert to LED’s
is $351,850.00 (plus HST). A further project contingency amount of $35,185.00 (which will
only be used if required) is requested. Staff requests an overall amendment to budget of
$387,035.00 (plus HST), noting that $76,501.00 will be received as a rebate and returned to
reserves, and reducing the total budget amendment.
The proposed project costs are shown in the table below:

CONCLUSION
In summary, the Township of West Lincoln will benefit by converting it’s network of existing
(HPS) street lights to LED street lighting. This will provide cost savings through reduced
energy consumption and maintenance costs.
Staff recommends that the proposal submission by from LAS and RealTerm Energy Corp. In
the amount of $351,850.00 (plus HST), be accepted, and that that Council approves an
amendment to budget in the amount of $393,847.00 for the conversion to LED street lights.
Staff further recommends that approve the Contingency Reserve be reimbursed the
remaining balance of $317,286.00 over a period of six (6) years through the projected saving
in the Street Light Electricity and Maintenance budgets
Finally, Staff also recommends that the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to enter into an
agreement with RealTerm Energy Corp. the conversion to LED street lights.

PRELIMINARY REPLACEMENT FIXTURES
Prior to working with your lighting officials and with our lighting design experts, for illustrative
purposes we have constructed this initial assessment based upon a basic “one-for-one” replacement
technique by selecting a Cree LED fixture with comparative light outputs for each incumbent HPS
fixture.
This analysis is meant to be used only as a starting point, and allows us to show the
potential energy savings that are possible using LED technology, employing industry standard
roadway practices.
Estimates are generally conservative. Once our Investment Grade Audit is completed, along with
the photometric analysis, we have typically been able to improve the efficiency levels and project
costs associated with the LED upgrade.

The fixtures detailed above are indicative of the energy savings potential of LEDs given the current
inventory. The application of photometric designs conducted during our Investment Grade Audit typically
indicate similar or greater energy savings.

Relying solely on a “one-for-one” replacement technique has limitations:
•  It can only prescribe the LED replacement wattage for what we believe is installed today,
•  It is limited to existing inventory records that are often outdated and inaccurate,
•  No consideration is made for a proper lighting design, updated for current roadway
conditions,
•  Without lighting designs, over lit or under lit streets today will continue to be so, even with
LEDs

THE REALTERM DIFFERENCE
HOW MATTERS.
TWO EXCLUSIVE FEATURES OF A REALTERM ENERGY/LAS LED UPGRADE
At RealTerm, we are committed to extracting the maximum benefit for our municipal clients
when upgrading their street lighting networks. The economic benefits are so compelling in
terms of cost savings and energy efficiencies, that there simply is no reason to cut corners.
However, doing it right still takes innovation and a dedication to detail in order to take full
advantage of this technology.
The following pages highlight two of the elements included in the Project Scope of Work items
listed on the preceding page that make the difference for our clients.
Our Investment Grade Audit is often the first
definitive study of this critically important
asset in your community, and we stand
behind the results. RealTerm is unique in
the marketplace in that LAS is able to review
our findings, estimates, costs and margins
thereby assuring that the project as
presented, is the most competitive in
Ontario.
CUSTOM INSTALLATION TOOLS
We have created custom apps and
installation tools that equip each
Installation Team that enable us to not just
monitor progress daily, but record field
results that become the basis of your asset
management system for the future.

Indicating RP-8 Achieved
In a recent project, the detailed photometric analysis conducted during our IGA phase
enabled us to select luminaires that increased energy efficiency by a further 15%, and
lowered the fixture costs by an additional 23% over ‘the one-for-one’ replacement
method while still meeting RP – 8.

INSTALLATION
REWIRING AND REFUSING POLICIES AT INSTALLATION
§  Service calls typically cost a municipality a minimum of $250 per occurrence, plus materials
§  After burn-outs and photocells, the leading cause of service calls is fuse-related
§  Replacing the fuse and fuse holder, and if necessary, rewiring the connection to the main
during the installation minimizes the likelihood of service calls during the fixture’s life
§  This ensures years of maintenance-free operation of the luminaires
§  We also provide for 2% of the davit arms to be replaced at installation due to metal fatigue
§  Variances in any of the above during actual installation will be adjusted on final billing
§  Local contractors favoured, while our staff supervises the entire installation with custom tools
and apps that monitor daily progress
§  Asset management reports on pole condition, tree canopy and other site conditions
§  All data transferred to Municipality upon commissioning

METHODOLOGY
DESIGNING TO RP-8 GUIDELINES
Upon receipt of accurate field measurements, our lighting designers provide as many unique
solutions as it takes to customize the results to conform to the maximum extent possible to
RP-8, the recommended lighting practice used in throughout the industry. We do so utilizing
the current coordinates of each fixture location and road condition. Where RP-8 cannot be met,
it is typically due to inadequate pole spacing, which cannot be remedied without adding
additional poles and fixtures. It is also true that if RP-8 cannot be met in these applications
using LEDs, RP-8 is not being met currently. Our customized design methodology assures that
whenever possible, RP-8 levels are met using LED technology, while minimizing the energy
usage per fixture.
INSTALLATION ESTIMATES
Based upon our experience in other Ontario municipalities, our installation estimates are meant
to be as accurate as we can make them at this stage. The parameters used in this proposal for
installation costs and activities are as follows:
• 
• 
• 
• 
Refusing:
Rewiring:
Disposal:
Arm Replacement:
Each new LED fixture to include a new fuse
35% of inventory to require rewiring
Included at no additional cost
2% of fixtures
SMART CONTROL READY
At this stage, we have not incorporated smart control technology into the proposal, with the
exception of incorporating the cost of an ANSI 5-pin receptacle with each fixture. Once we
begin conducting our IGA, we will be happy to add smart solution options to our analysis.
MAINTENANCE ESTIMATES
Different manufacturers propose varying estimates for ongoing maintenance costs for LED
fixtures. While it is unrealistic to assume that no annual maintenance will be required, the
fixtures themselves do not contain components that require periodic replacement (such as HPS
bulbs and ballasts). In order to be conservative, our maintenance savings estimate is modeled
at 80% of the average of the last five years maintenance costs. While actual maintenance costs
are likely to be a mere fraction of this estimate in any given year, we recommend incorporating
this figure into municipal budgets to account for periodic cleaning or other eventualities over
the life of the fixture not covered under the manufacturer’s 10 year warranty.
Thus, actual vs. budgeted maintenance savings are likely to be much higher than modeled
herein during any given year.

CALCULATION ASSUMPTIONS
1. 
In the calculation of the energy costs of the LED lighting system we assumed that there will
be no savings on the distribution volumetric rate, because this will be a matter for
negotiation between the municipality and Niagara Peninsula Energy Inc. (NPEI). This is the
reason why although the energy consumption savings will be 66%, the energy cost savings
is listed as only 51%. We have adopted this very conservative approach to protect the
interests of the municipality as it plans ahead.
2. 
The annual energy savings and the new LED street lighting system were calculated based
on the data provided by the municipality and/or the LDC’s. Any changes in the below data
will have as an effect changes in the energy consumption savings and in the energy cost
savings.
3. 
Inflation rate for Energy Prices and Maintenance Costs are 3% and 2% respectively.
4. 
Information LDC rates were obtained from the current Electricity Distribution Rate
Applications from the respective LDC. This information can be obtained online in the
Ontario Energy Board website.
5. 
For Stock Market Price, the Electricity Cost used was: $0.02913/kWh and Global Adjustment
was: $0.6174/kWh. We consulted this information on April 09, 2015 from the IESO Price
Overview website.

OPPORTUNITY COST
Sometimes, postponing the decision to buy something today is rewarded by a lower price tomorrow.
With LED streetlights, postponing doesn’t just mean waiting, it also means continuing to operate the
existing inefficient system and missing out on material energy and maintenance savings while waiting
for the prices to drop. In other words, if your waiting, you’re wasting energy.
Energy experts and our LED production partners have determined that the big gains that have been
realized in LED manufacturing, and that the major price reductions or efficiency advances that we’ve
seen in the past 5 years aren’t likely to be seen again.

CONCLUSIONS & NEXT STEPS
There is no doubt that LED technology offers significant energy and maintenance savings over current
HID street lighting systems. Continuing to invest in maintaining this inefficient technology wastes
labour and materials, wastes energy and contributes to climate change.
We are available to meet with municipal staff either in person or by video conference to review this
proposal, to answer any questions you many have, and also gain a more thorough understanding of
your lighting needs and objectives.
The next steps to start the implementation of this new technology and start seeing energy and
maintenance savings are as follows:
1)  Recommendation from Staff to Council to proceed (RealTerm Energy Personnel are available
to make a presentation to Council on the contents of this proposal)
2)  Letter of Intent (LOI)
3)  RealTerm Energy commences our Investment Grade Audit of your Streetlight network

REPORT NO: RFD-T-05-15
SUBJECT:
2015 Tax Rate By-Law
CONTACT:
Melinda Dent, Coordinator of Revenue Services
Donna DeFilippis, Treasurer & Director of Finance
OVERVIEW:
• To set the rates of taxation for the year 2015 in accordance with approved
2015 operating and capital budget.
RECOMMENDATION:
(1)
That Report RFD-T-05-15 dated April 27, 2015, regarding the 2015 Tax Rate ByLaw, be received; and,
(2)
That a By-Law be presented to Council to adopt the estimates and to set the rates
of taxation for the year 2015.
CURRENT SITUATION:
The 2015 Tax Rate By-Law will be presented to Council containing the new tax rates for
2015 as outlined on Schedule A. In 2014, a residential property in the urban serviced area
assessed at $294,488 received a total tax bill of $3,569.34. In 2015, this same property’s
taxes will be $3,662.85. For the comparison, we have used the average year end residential
assessment provided by MPAC which has increased 2.93% for 2015. This represents an
increase in the average residential assessment to $303,103 from the 2014 amount of
$294,488. For your information, the following is a comparison of 2014 to 2015 taxes. For
this report, we are using comparative yearend figures provided by MPAC.
