Councillor Bray requested item (v)g Public Works/Engineering Technologist Development Project
Status Report dated March 1, 2016 to be pulled from the consent agenda. She requested clarification
regarding Vidinovski/1126744 Ontario Inc. – Repurposed Shipping Containers – 10 Main Street.
Doug Herron explained that there is an open Site Plan Approval for the site. The applicant’s proposal
is to retrofit the containers for commercial use. Council has previously requested to be the final
approval authority on this file. Staff is waiting for Mr. Vidinovski to provide a complete plan
submission. The CBO has issued an order to comply which has not been acted upon yet and Mr.
Vidinovski is still working on completing the application for Site Plan Approval. Approximately 3 weeks
ago Mr. Vidinovski was contacted by Mr. Herron and the Planning Department has received a partial
submission.
Mayor Smith inquired why the order to comply was issued late Nov/Dec and not acted upon; what is
the standard procedure and why is it different with this file. Mr. Herron explained that if there is
planning approval underway, as an operational approach, Staff try not to hinder that with a legal
action. The Chair suggested setting a timeframe of 30 days in order for the application to be
completed.
Councillor Stockwell requested to have the CBO attend the meeting to explain the Order to Comply
process and time frame. The Committee recessed in order to have the CBO attend.
The CBO joined the meeting and explained that the Order has not been complied with nor contested.
Currently the CBO is in the position to lay charges and would discuss with staff before doing so. The
CBO explained Mr. Vidinovski can remedy the Order by securing site plan approval and building

permit or by removing the storage containers. The applicant has been instructed to provide
construction/technical drawings. Discussion ensued.
Committee instructed the CBO to notify Mr. Vidinovski in writing that within 30 days charges would be
laid relative to the order against 10 Mains Street, should the Order not be complied with
Mr. Herron explained that in terms of the Site Plan approval process the next step would be to look at
the package and respond to the applicant in writing what is expected in order to move forward.

The following items were previously noted as being requested for separate discussion.
-
115 Beach Drive Units 1-6 – Juniors Pizza - Lease
Councillor Bray noted this lease offer is 20% of what Council determined was fair market value
one year ago based on an evaluation of a real estate professional. Accepting a lease at 27
cents on the dollar creates an unfair playing field. She questioned if the Municipal Act allows
us to do that as we are granting assistance to one lease under fair market value.
6|P age
Page 76 of 364
Coordinated Committee – March 10, 2016
Mr. McNeill indicated that as per the Municipal Act we have to been careful that it does not fall
under bonusing. Fair market value is what someone is willing to pay for a building. There has
been no one else come forward that is interested in leasing any of the units in that building. In
2015 all the units were vacant as well. Mr. McNeill deferred to the CAO with respect to
negotiations with Mr. Buchanan as he was not present. The building is open concept of units
and they are not divided. Mr. McNeill has concerns that if this is not approved they may
remain vacant again for 2016.
Councillor Bray indicated she could support the lease offer as a one year solution but not five
years on 27 cents on the dollar is not fair to the rest of the business owners.
Mr. McNeill advised this is an offer to lease and it is up to committee if they wish to accept or
reject offer. His recommendation would be to accept given no one else has put in an offer
rather than risk the units being vacant again this year.
Councillor Bray requested a shortened lease term of 1 or 2 years to determine what fair market
value is. Mr. McNeill advised that Mr. Buchanan is opening a food court and want to be sure
they can run that operation and recoup his costs. If the term too short, small operators may
not be interested in make an investment.
The CAO advised he has not talked to Mr. Buchanan on a shorter term.
The CAO advised that the actual submission was lower than what is being presented. We
looked at leases in the area and original offer was too low. The Mayor noted the CAO
negotiated this lease and the dollar value is the best he could obtain for these units.
The Mayor inquired as to what the rent was for the Bubble Tea Hut to which the CAO
confirmed it was above $16,000 in 2015.
The Mayor asked when the last time was that these units were rented which the CAO noted
was in 2011.
Councillor Anderson clarified that “fair market value” is what two parties agree to pay and not
necessarily what a real estate agent sets as a value.
Councillor Stockwell felt that this building should be demolished as no one has been interested
in the units since 2011. He is not opposed to a one year term so that Council can keep its
options open for future demolition.
The Director advised Council that there is a demolition clause within the lease. The building,
except for the upper floor is in good shape, but the second floor is not habitable and should
come down at some point. The question Council needs to consider is if they would prefer
asphalt or a vacant building in the short term. A business in the units for the short term is
deemed to be the better option.

Councillor Anderson noted that Council has talked about demolishing the building and putting
picnic tables there until a decision is made about the property. He would rather see the
building gone until Council decides what to do or would rather the building occupied than not.
Councillor Bifolchi asked some time ago to look at each building to determine which ones
should be considered to be demolished and which ones are worth saving and now a lease
agreement has come forward and we decide to talk about demolition. At the proposed rate, at
the end of the year we will be further in the hole than last year. If we are looking at demo we
should have had that discussion.
The Mayor agreed with Councillor Anderson that rental value is what someone will pay for it. If
there were no offers to lease the units this year he would be willing to agree with demolition;
however, we do have an offer and something better than nothing. A business at that end of
the beach will create activity in area. It the operator is willing to invest dollars into building and
create a small food court to give locals and tourists it provides more variety and makes it more
vibrant and active. The Mayor did note that he doesn’t like the rate of $17,000 either, but we
have no other offers, nor have there been any since 2011 so we have to lease it out.
The CAO confirmed that the main floor of the building in good shape and was renovated in
2011. The second floor, however is not in good shape and it was determined to seal it off
when the original renovation was done. The building is in usable condition. There are no walls
between units so Mr. Buchanan’s concept of having a food court and open area fits well with
the building layout.
Councillor Smith noted there are enough escape clauses in the lease if we want out of it.

Coordinated Committee – March 10, 2016
Councillor Stockwell advised that he requested the discussion. The proposed tenant is a local
business man that has a reputation as a good business man. Rather than let the offer to lease
die, the Councillor would like to see the matter referred back to staff and have one more
meeting with gentleman including the Mayor to see if it can be worked out. Councillor
Stockwell indicated he would move a motion to refer it back to staff for another meeting with
the applicant, with the Mayor in attendance, with a report back to Committee.
Mr. McNeill advised that he has been in discussion with Mr. Bickmore since October and while
he agrees he runs a great business and would have been a strong addition to the beach front,
the issue Mr. Bickmore has is the demolition clause. He was prepared to invest $60,000 into
the building and his lawyer has advised him that is too risky with the demolition clause. The
Town’s lawyer has advised that the Town should not relinquish that clause as it is in the
Town`s best interest. The Director did reach out to Mr. Bickmore this morning and he was
happy with the process but is no longer interested in the former DQ building. Mr. McNeill
added it would be his recommendation that the Town not remove the demolition clause from
the lease as it places the Town in a position of control at the beachfront and future
development and that is very important. If it is Council`s direction to speak to Mr. Bickmore
again, he will give it another try.
Councillor Ego inquired if there is room for negotiation that is beneficial to both parties so that it
is not stacked against the tenant. He would like to see his business in that building.
Mayor Smith noted he understands Mr. Bickmore`s point and the demolition clause. This is
the 2nd year we have dealt with this now, but the demolition clause is fair and clear. If we
decide that it needs to be demolished the Town will pay back the tenant a proportionate share
of their capital investment for the remainder of lease. He is surprised why it is such an issue
as there is a payback clause within the lease as well.
Deputy Mayor Bifolchi noted we were all thrilled to see Mr. Bickmore looking at building but is
not prepared to alter that demolition clause at all as it is in the best interest of the Town to keep
it there.
Councillor Stockwell felt it should be referred back to Staff as there is always an opportunity to
come up with a new idea.
Mr. McNeill advised that someone else is interested in renting that space, but it is not up to Mr.
Bickmore`s standards. Timing becomes an issue to get back to Council with feedback.
Councillor Ego though it was worth a try as Committee has made concessions for others; if it
doesn`t work, it doesn`t work.

Kowabunga
Councillor Bray noted that asking for a shorter lease than what is on 115 Beach Drive doesn’t
make sense for a corner property that is attached. She noted that she had asked for history of
property and none of that was in the report.
Councillor Stockwell stated the building is an eyesore and the roof is not pleasant to the eye
and is falling apart. For the $2,000 rent, if ever there was a time to bring a past agreement to
an end and remove the building off site for use for parking or picnic benches, the time is now
and this is the time to bring agreement to close.
Deputy Mayor Bifolchi was supportive of $2,000 for a 3 year period to give operator an
opportunity to see how viable a business it is. It also provides an activity for beach users
through the rental of equipment. She inquired if during the lease discussions if there were any
discussion about fixing the roof to make it look nicer. Mr. McNeill advised that he has not
spoken with Mr. Maxwell about those repairs but that Mr. Maxwell is in attendance if
Committee wishes to speak with him. Mr. Maxwell was asked for a response and advised that
he will be fixing the roof with better materials for future years and it would be fixed this year.
Deputy Mayor Bifolchi will support $2,000 for a 3 year term, but has concerns with the 5 plus 5
with no opportunity to increase rent during the rental period.
Mayor Smith inquired of the hours of operation clause in this lease. Mr. McNeill advised that
the Town has not signed a lease with Mr. Maxwell, what is in the agenda are previous
agreements. The hours of operation will be worked out in the agreement and included in the
lease.
Mayor Smith agreed that if ever there was a time to get rid of the building it is now. However,
what we don’t have is this type of business that rents out equipment. The Mayor would
support a 3 year term to provide Mr. Maxwell with an opportunity to see how the business will
do.
Councillor Stockwell inquired if there are any other units that would be available for the
business. Mr. McNeill noted that the challenge is to find a unit with adequate storage space for
10 | P a g e
Page 80 of 364
Coordinated Committee – March 10, 2016
the equipment. Other than 115 Beach Drive there are no other spaces available that would
suit the needs of the business.
Councillor Bray noted the previous lease had a sub-lease clause in it and for $2,000 did not
support a sub-lease.
Councillor Anderson`s opinion was that the lease rate was too low and the building is an eye
sore. His preference would be to raise the rent or get rid of the building.
Mayor Smith requested a removal or demolition clause as well as we need to cover ourselves
for future potential development. Mr. McNeill advised that every agreement included hours of
operation and a demolition clause.

Banana Beach Bar lease
Mayor Smith advised he requested to have this pulled as he looked at the offer and believed
the Town could do better. He spoke to the CAO who reached out to Mr. Grossi and his partner
to sit down with them to discuss the terms of the lease, negotiations and issues. After the
meeting, Mr. Grossi has agreed to amend the lease by increasing the rent to $102,000,
extending the business hours from 11 a.m. -11 p.m. Victoria Day through Labour Day and to
schedule the leasehold improvements to be completed each year prior to business opening for
the season. He will also be open 7 days a week.
Councillor Anderson asked for clarification that Bananas will stay open 7 days a week from
Victoria Day weekend to Labour Day. Mayor Smith stated Mr. Grossi is dedicated and freely
offered to do that.
Deputy Mayor Bifolchi noted these amendments are new to council and have not been
previously discussed and asked the Mayor to read his proposed amendment to the motion.
The Clerk then read the amended motion.
Councillor Bray questioned if we are going back to the other RFP`s to see if the Mayor can
negotiate a better deal for the Town. Mr. McNeill responded that the Copa was referred back to
staff; in this instance we were given direction to negotiate a lease. What is included in the
report pertaining to Bananas is what he was aware of and agreed to before this new
information came about. It is an offer by the tenant to lease and the new clauses can be
added. Council can still approve the lease as an offer and it can be approved as presented or
both parties can finalize terms as a final lease.
It was noted that as this is a new Lease it has to come back to Council.
Deputy Mayor Bifolchi questioned that staff worked out an agreement that was signed by the
operator and then this new information was decided yesterday. We had an offer signed by the
applicant and why is he willing to change his mind and pay us more.
Mayor Smith advised that he looked at the lease and believed the Town could do better based
on what Mr. Grossi had told him last year. It was an amicable meeting with very little
negotiation and this is where we ended up. The proponent was quite happy when he left.
Deputy Mayor Bifolchi inquired who negotiated the lease in the package. It was clarified that
Mr. McNeill and the CAO negotiated the lease in the Agenda and yesterday the CAO and
Mayor met with Mr. Grossi and his partner and amended the agreement.

Skydive Wasaga Beach
CARRIED
Skydive Wasaga Beach (SWB), an affiliate of Skydive Toronto, has approached the Town and
is interested in opening a location at Beach Area One or Two at Wasaga Beach. SWB is
seeking a location that will provide high visibility to the tourists at the main beachfront.
Councillor Bray asked to confirm the area being proposed as the landing area.
The Director commented that SWB has requested the opportunity to do beach landings. This
would set SWB apart from any operation in Canada as it would be the only operation landing
directly on the beach. There would only be 2 parachute landings per hour which would be
closely supervised by their on-ground crew in order to ensure all safety aspects are covered.
However, currently, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) is not willing to
entertain beach landings.
SWB requires an area approximately 200ft x 400ft in size. They are able to land on a smaller
target; this just provides for a margin of error. In reviewing various options for potential landing
sites one site has emerged as being the best off-beach location. The area is located just south
of Third Street on Town-owned lands behind the Ministry bathroom facilities. There may be
some pruning required but that is minimal to prepare the site. The report before Committee
13 | P a g e
Page 83 of 364
Coordinated Committee – March 10, 2016
today is to ask for direction if Council is comfortable proceeding with a potential agreement and
if so, the Director will negotiate an agreement with SWB.
The Deputy Mayor indicated that this matter has come before Council in the past and was not
supported for various reasons. She has concerns over landings on the beach, the impact it
may have on special events as well as safety concerns with landing in an area with trees and
buildings. She asked for clarification that by approving the motion today, that Staff will still
bring any agreements back to Council for final approval.
SWB was noted to be in the audience and was asked if they wanted to come to the table to
provide further information and address some of the concerns of Council.
Mr. Fargis from SWB provided Committee with background information on their organization
including their clean safety records, 40 year affiliation with Toronto skydiving. He also outlining
for committee the process in which skydivers must obtain approvals for landings, flying’s and
operating guidelines. All their instructors are the best within their field and have extensive
experience with tandem jumping. They are prepared to have more than adequate safety
measures in place which include staff on the ground in the landing area, a boat and sea doos
posted in the water areas in the event an emergency landing is required in the water. Mr.
Fargis further advised that the flights will take place out of the Edenvale Airport as it offers a
better flight line and is only 15 minutes from the beach.
Councillor Smith expressed her support for skydiving at the beach as it is very popular in the
islands. She asked for clarification on the regulations pertaining to air space to which Mr.
Fargis noted it is highly regulated by Transport Canada and is all radio controlled. A jumper
never leaves the plane without a clear go ahead from both the air and the ground.
The Mayor asked if the professional jumper was in control of the jump and chute at all times.
Mr. Fargis stated that the professional would be in control at all times to allow the jumper to
enjoy the view. He further advised council that his company would also be available for
special events and to fly banners at the beach throughout the summer. He is also hoping to
organize a special event with up to 500 jumpers in October resulting in a significant economic
spinoff for the Town.
Deputy Mayor Bifolchi stated she is excited about the idea but needs more details and can’t
approve it without all the details.

Councillor Stockwell inquired why this information was now being made public given it was

The CAO advised this report is similar to that prepared by the Fire Chief’s that was discussed
in closed session however, it has been amended to exclude any confidential details. He
further noted there are times an item is considered in closed and then brought forward to open
session. The information contained in the original report was dealt with in closed because a)
contained personal information and b) management is in contract negotiations with the fire
association. The potential implication with those negotiations once Council made the decision
to hire the additional firefighters was no longer an issue and in order to be open and
transparent and to explain the options presented to Council, the report was prepared.
Councillor Stockwell noted that being the only one to vote against that motion, he has had a
