Re: Increasing Access to Business Support Services Across Simcoe County
2015
—
Response Required by January
gth,
Dear Mr. Sander,
As you may be aware, this past August, the County of Simcoe Council approved a two-year pilot project to
enable the Small Business Enterprise Centre (currently known as the Greater Barrie Business Enterprise Centre
GBBEC) to increase accessibility to services/support to Simcoe County entrepreneurs by adding a mobile
Small Business Consultant dedicated to providing in-market services across the County.
—
The Greater Barrie Business Enterprise Centre (a new name is being proposed to better reflect the broader
area served by the Centre) is one of 57 Small Business Enterprise Centres across Ontario. Established in 2002,
the Centre is an entrepreneurial resource for information, consultation and education serving the Cities of
Barrie and Orillia and the County of Simcoe, with the exception of the Towns of Collingwood and Wasaga
Beach, and Clearview Township, which are served by the South Georgian Bay Small Business Enterprise Centre.
From business start-up to expansion, consultants are available to meet with clients on a no fee basis to provide
professional business advice, referrals to professionals within the community, assistance with business plans,
mentoring and networking opportunities, as well as facilitate seminars, workshops and youth programming for
new and existing entrepreneurs.
Approximately 35% of the Enterprise Centre (Barrie location) clients serviced via consultation reside outside of
the city of Barrie. With the support of the County of Simcoe, providing a mobile Small Business Consultant will
allow your current and aspiring entrepreneurs easier access to Enterprise Centre resources and services at a
localized level.
The pilot project business model is as follows:
•
•
Hire a full-time Small Business Consultant dedicated to providing outreach services to Enterprise Centre
coverage areas within Simcoe County that are outside of the City of Barrie. The City of Barrie currently
holds the contract for Enterprise Centre services, therefore, the position would report directly to the
Manager of the Enterprise Centre in Barrie for activity reporting, advisory oversight and program delivery
support.
The mandate of the mobile Small Business Consultant would be to delivi
business plan development, seminar/workshop delivery, youth ei
Company/Starter Company) within the municipalities outside of the city of
GBBEC services
Page 17 of 251
In-market presence would be establi5hed in only those municipalities that indicate an interest in
participating and can provide support (either financial or in-kind) for office / meeting space as well as
Internet! phone service and administrative resources such as access to a photocopier and fax, IT support,
etc., required to support the provision of services in the community.
GBBEC will deliver business fundamentals presentations/seminars/workshops on a bi-monthly to
quarterly basis including 5tarting a business, developing a business plan and marketing in the outreach
areas.
In consultation with Simcoe County Economic Development Office, GBBEC will provide FAQs for front-line
municipal staff on the services available throughout the pilot. The FAUs would be developed in
conjunction with the CFDCs to help delineate between the two types of organizations to ensure referrals
are made to the most appropriate service provider.
The Simcoe County Economic Development Office will work with the City of Barrie on the creation of an
advisory board to oversee the pilot to increase access to the services of the Enterprise Centre.
•
•
•
•
To participate in this pilot project and have the mobile Small Business Consultant in your community, we
request municipalities provide the following in-kind services:
•
•
•
Dedicated office space 1-4 days per month that allows for confidential service between consultant and
clients. This office space is not required to be within a municipal office; other options may include and
are not limited to local community partners such as the local CFDC or Chambers of Commerce.
The specific number of days the Small Business Consultant will be scheduled in each community will be
determined once all municipalities have indicated their interest and support in facilitating this service.
Telephone service with an extension for outgoing calls. Internet service where appropriate.
Designated kiosk space for signage and information (ie. Zft x 3ft wall pamphlet holder or counter
display).
For municipalities interested in this service, please complete the attached Commitment of Participation form
and kindly return to the Enterprise Centre (Barrie office) no later than January 9”, 2015.
Thank you for your consideration and support. Please contact me at any time to discuss this new project. We
are excited to provide more convenient service to local entrepreneurs and in the process further strengthen
the local economic development ecosystem.

Mayor Burkett & Members of Council
Township of Severn
P.O. Box 159
Orillia, Ontario L3V 6H3
Your Worship and Members of Council:
Thank you for the support that Township of Severn has provided to the
Orillia & Area Physician Recruitment & Retention Committee (OAPRRC).
Attached you will find the 2014 year-end forecast along with the 2015
proposed draft budget. In late July you received our mid-year activity
and financial performance report.
Planning for the next 3 years has been a key focus this year as we
updated the 2010 physician human resources plan. The methodology
used to update the plan involved the distribution of surveys to all
physicians, department chiefs and program representatives. This allowed
us to project future recruitment needs which includes the sum of current
unmet need (vacancies), anticipated retirements, and clinical service
changes. Physician population ratios were obtained and compared to
HealthForce Ontario recommendations. Known and potential retirements
are included in the calculation. Local physician demographics show that
19% of family physicians and 23% of specialists are over age 60.
Therefore it will be necessary to recruit efforts will be on-going.
We initiated a pro-active approach to assist our seasoned doctors as they
prepare for retirement. We have been meeting with them to determine
timelines and to identify a suitable recruitment candidate to join their
office practice. This approach is beneficial for the patients, the retiring
doctor and the new doctor as he or she can work along side a seasoned
doctor for a period of time beforc taking over the practice. This also
allows time for patients to become acquainted with the new doctor. Two
matches have been made in the past year.
Retention activities remain a key component of our efforts. We are
pleased to report that all recruited family physicians remain in our
community.

I have degenerative lower discs in my back. I can walk a block comfortably and then the pain
starts. Would you consider pick up at the end ofeach street along the Lakeshore an Option?
There are days in the winter when I don’t want to drive. As long as you can get me to OdIlia
downtown where I can transfer to another bus to take me to work then it would be something I
would consider using. Also on days when hubby is late and I want to visit Orillia I could grab the
bus on the weekend. Will there be more than one pickup/drop off time? I think it has to work like
the City ofOrillia buses with a regular schedule so that the community will know when and
where and be more convenient. The past it hasn’t worked as it was too expensive S 10 one way!
and not enough time to get to the pickup time and then find a way home again.
Great idea. I would probably use transit more in winter
We need public transit for person who no loner are able to drive, eg. Over 80 years
Would we have to pay more for off-route trips? If so, how much?
My son would use it everyday, once he finds a job
I suspect many would like to see transportation available but cost would be big issue as well as
reliability. Could lily wife and I go to Orilfia and back for under $20
A main reason for people moving our of this area is because of lack of transportation. They get
older and perhaps don’t drive so therefore must move where there is transportation available.
Think would be a great service for young and older or anyone for that matter
This service is badly needed in our community. Good luck.
Two retirees one car. Local conveniences. Too far to walk.

Good idea for transit in Ramam Township
Page 40 of 251
6) Additional Comments
Transit would be great for people with no way to Orillia. It would because of all the job
opportunities
I think that a transit service would be a great idea for all the people that don’t have a car for there
is no transit in Brechin
Transit = less impaired drivers. Less cars on the road. Less fossil fuel burning. Tmnsit...The only
way to travel environmentally without a bicycle
We need some kind of public transportation especially for elderly who can’t drive anymore
This town need buses here badly. It’s a dead town
I would gladly discontinue using my car for reliable bus service
Brechin could then be connected to Orillia and Toronto. Eg. Son in Toronto could take public
transit to Brechin to visit
As more and more people in the Lagoon City get older and will no longer be able to drive, it will
be necessary to have public transit available or people will be required to move into larger cities
Brechin and Lagoon City has no taxi or bus service to major shopping areas or to Rama Casino at
the present time.
Transit connections to GO bus service would be vital
Brechin is known to be out of touch, very remote and cut off from everything. Very bad for real
estate attraction and property values. Highway 12 in winter, the 400 in Barrie, can be very bad for
passenger cars. Bus service (other company) offers only goes to college, Fluntsville etc, times not
good. We need an option here. Thank you for considering this need.
As a Lagoon resident for the past three years, people and friends visit this area really enjoy it but
are not willing to make any move because we have no transit in area for work or shopping.
I pay for cabs everyday to get to work. It costs SI 6.00 each way. ft would really be help to get
some bus service out here.
With only one car at our home some one is always stuck
Good luck
I would spread the word to all my friends
This would give opportunity to people students etc to have rooms in country
Page 41 of 251
6) Additional Comments:
The previous transit system didn’t last long enough. Hopeftuly this one does.
Would be a great service to provide transportation on an affordable level for people to commute
to and from larger communities to meet there needs
Very important
Hard to get to Barrie and Orillia for hospital appointments
What would be the round trip cost?
Would need to run into evening to be worth it. Then students could ride.
It would be nice to have something going from New Lowell to Angus/Stayner
Transportation need to other towns
It would be very beneficial for people to get around the community and have the ability to get to
town and complete daily chores
I think it’s a great idea. We have lots of older people and younger people in this area Transit
would help us get into town. Please make it happen great idea
-
I think it would be a great idea. We could shuttle people from town and less pollution and the one
that don’t drive will be able to go to town Jam a Métis. They dmve me for KIMO in Barrie. I
thank them very much.
-
Do you have a bus? It would be helpifil in Lafontaine. (Fwm someone who lives in
Penetanguishene)
Connections to Bradford GO would be an added benefit to the whole community
Some kind of transport is needed between Tottenham and Alliston, everyday if possible
Although everyone in my household has a car, a public transit route would still be beneficial to
the community
Can’t imagine how it would serve the needs of our community. Where would it drop people off?
Weekly trips to Walmart? Curious to see how this would serve the community.
Towns are hardly large enough to bus around. Maybe buses between towns only with bike racks.
We don’t need public transportation. The residents here are fine commuting by car and taxi.
Desperately needed
Page 42 of 251
6) Additional Comments:
This is a given and a huge requirement for people of all ages. Re: Employment, Re: Medical
needs, etc
A transit system would be good because before I had a car I would bike from town to town
There are a number of senior citizens who live in New Tecumseth that I’m sure could use
affordable transit. Also would benefit middle aged or younger residents for finding work and
getting to and from
Transit for our youth (without cars) and our Seniors would be welcomed. Critical for those
without their own vehicles. To enable youth to find and travel to part-time jobs or after school
activities.
I work at a busy company in Beeton. It takes forever for someone to get a cab. Also people who
don’t drive have difficulty getting to work outside of town with no car teens especially
-
A lot of people would benefit. It’s a small town. Lots don’t drive and we all don’t need cars to get
from Beeton to Zehrs in Alliston. Its polluting for no reason.
We need public transportation for shopping in Alliston
A bus to Barrie and/or Newmarket would be beneficial for both work. Cabs being the only other
transportation our of town cost over $60 to go Newmarket and back.
Just want to see elders struggling, to get somewhere
I want a bus
A bus service from in town to other is needed, re: Beezon to Alliston to Tottenham. Also shoold
meet Greyhound or GO bus
This would serve very beneficial and I know a lot of people who would use this
Good to access services
I don’t drive so a bus service would be very helpful for me ifmy wife would pass away. It would
give me my freedom to get around hospital, grocery store, walmart.
I would like a transit service to Wal-mart
My husband and I only have one car. He uses it during the week. It is possible to live in Beelon
with no car but it is about time to address public transit issue
To help kids and adults who work in Alliston. To help kids get home after school activities.
There is NO late bus home from high school. No way for teens to get to part-time jobs.
Page 43 of 251
6) Additional Comments:
My in-laws have no car and children work. Need transport for shopping food dr appt, gift
buying, banking, visiting friends, attending events. For elderly to promote independence, activity
and social life
-
-
Great idea only if accessible for all citizens
Great idea
Many kids will waLk from Beeton to Tottenham via road or steam train tracks. It is unsafe. Drunk
Driving between towns is also a problem
My son doesn”t drive and would live public transportation. Other than me driving him to the GO
I think it would be cool
Good luck Seniors and kids need this
I think it’s great idea for transportation in this town
We need bus very bad
This transit service would help everyone in the area to commute easier to their work and/or
school of choice and help youth get work who don’t have opportunities for being driven or
working in the town they live.
We moved to the county to get away from the transit but that went up our street every 30 mins
don’t want one back!
-
Do not require this service now but would use it if available. Especially in the future.
I think transit services would be very beneficial to the New Tec area for many reasons: reduces
the amount of cars on the road, therefore lowering risks of accidents and amount of pollution.
People without cars have a reliable source of transportation to work, and drunk people have a
safe ride home without the risk of having to drive.
We have needed a bus sooo..badly for quite some time. I wish you much success.
I have just moved to Alliston & it is very difficult to go anyplace other than shopping for food
and medical appointments without any transportation
We need a bus system here, with all the new houses that have and are going up lots of these new
people come from the city and we find it very isolating that we have no connection to places
nearby. We had a bus system a few years back. I was disappointed to see the town not willing to
finance something is greatly needed taking a taxi is so expensive not everybody can afford such
an expense. Please consider adding New Tecumseth to your Transit Services.
Page 44 of 251
6) Additional Comments:
A transit service would only sustain itseLf if it covered Ban-ie & Newmarket on a scheduled basis.
People in Alliston pay as much asS 150 to go to Toronto to a thneral or medical appointment If
anyone Doubts anything I’ve written, I’m willing to swear on a Bible about what I’ve said.
HELP!!! I’m held prisoner in this town without any chance to move about freely and reasonably.

Orillia ON L3V 6J3
Dear Mayor Burkett,
Please accept my sincere congratulations on your recent election victory. I wish you much
success in your role and I look forward to continuing a strong working relationship with
your municipality on our shared priorities and interests.
The Ontario government is committed to building a cleaner energy system in a way that
respects communities. The collective success of our municipalities is critical to the
success of the province of Ontario. Municipalities have made it clear that they want a
stronger voice and the government has taken steps to make that happen.
I would like to take this opportunity to provide you with an overview of the initiatives
Ontario’s government is taking to give municipalities more information and control around
local energy planning.
Regional Planning
One of our highest priorities is continuing to implement Ontario’s 2013 Long-Term Energy
Plan (LTEP). The LTEP reflects the most comprehensive consultation and engagement
process the Ministry of Energy has ever undertaken and balances five principles that will
guide future decisions: cost-effectiveness, reliability, clean energy, community
engagement, and an emphasis on conservation and demand management before building
new generation.
Regional electricity planning and siting is a key feature of the LTEP. The cornerstone of
regional electricity planning is an open exchange of information and engagement with
municipalities, Aboriginal communities, stakeholders and members of the general public.
In Ontario, this will include better community outreach, early and often, while providing
local governments and communities a greater voice in the planning and siting of energy
infrastructure.
-
./cont’d
Page 129 of 251
-2-
Improvements to regional electricity planning processes will support implementation of the
2013 LTEP. As outlined in the LTEP, regional plans will promote the principle of
Conservation First while also considering other cost-effective solutions such as supply,
transmission and distribution investments.
Changes introduced by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) in 2013 formalized the regional
planning process by ensuring that transmitters, distributors, the Ontario Power Authority
(OPA) and the Independent Electricity Systems Operator (IESO) work closely to identify
solutions for regional electricity needs and encourage greater municipal involvement and
public participation.
To make sure their voices are heard, municipalities will be asked to actively participate in
electricity planning and siting activities. There are 21 electricity regions in Ontario (see the
IESO’s Planning Regions map at www.ieso.ca/ontarioenergymap/defaulLhtm), each of
which will be assessed every five years, or sooner if needed. Planning is already
underway in nine of the 21 regions and planning in the remaining 12 regions will begin
over the next few years. This is your opportunity to work directly with the OPA, key
electricity stakeholders and the public to contribute to planning and identify the right
solutions for your communities.
I encourage you to visit the OPA website at www.powerauthority.on.calpower
planning/regional-planning to learn more about current and upcoming regional planning
processes.
Large Renewable Procurement
In June 2013, I directed the OPAto replace the Large Feed-in Tariff (FIT) program with a
new competitive procurement process to allow for the consideration of future contract
awards for cost-efficient and well-supported projects. I asked the OPA to work with
municipalities and Aboriginal communities to help identify appropriate siting requirements
for renewable energy projects.
The new Large Renewable Procurement (LRP) process will provide municipalities with a
stronger voice going forward and additional opportunities to participate in the development
of renewable energy projects. The process includes an initial Request for Qualifications
(RFQ) to qualify applicants, followed by a Request for Proposals (RFP) to evaluate
projects, which can only be proposed by qualified applicants.
We remain committed that this LRP will require developers to take into account local
needs and considerations before contracts are offered. Engagement activities in LRP are
intended to initiate early relationship-building between developers and municipalities, and
provide an early opportunity for municipalities to advise of local needs and considerations
to inform project design.
cont’d
Page 130 of 251
-3As part of the OPA’s extensive outreach activities to inform the development of the LRP, it
developed preliminary sets of RFQ stage evaluation criteria and possible RFP stage
components. These and other related materials were discussed with a wide variety of
stakeholders and communities since August 2013. Outreach activities remain an
important element of our work.
The OPA has completed the RFQ stage of the LRP, which qualified applicants based on
their ability to meet a set of mandatory requirements focused on past development
experience and financial capability. Only qualified applicants will be eligible to participate
in the upcoming RFP. The qualified applicant list is available on the CPA website at
www.powerauthority.on.ca/sites/default/files/page/LRP-l-RFQ-Qualified-Applicant-List.pdf.
On November 17, 2014, the CPA posted the draft RFP and contract for public review and
comment on their website until December 19, 2014. Engagement is central to the draft
RFP: municipal and community engagement are proposed as mandatory requirements,
with additional rated criteria available to developers that further engage and receive
municipal council support and/or municipal benefit agreements for a proposed project. For
latest updates on the LRP program, please visit the OPA’s website at www.power
authority.on.ca/large-renewable-procurement.
The government is committed to achieving its renewable energy targets, while ensuring
that municipalities have a stronger voice in future renewable energy development.
Proponents interested in developing a project under the LRP will be engaging with
municipalities to take local needs and considerations into account.
For projects that are currently under development, the Ministry of the Environment and
Climate Change’s Renewable Energy Approval process requires developers to ensure
multiple opportunities for local communities to provide input during the planning and
approvals process for wind, solar and bioenergy projects. A minimum of two public
meetings must be held about these proposed projects. The Class Environmental
Assessment for Waterpower Projects allows proponents to assess the potential effects to
the environment using best available information in order to make an informed decision
about how or whether a project should proceed. This process also includes opportunities
for community and municipal input.
Municipal Energy Plans
In the 2013 LTEP, the province committed to putting conservation first. Putting
conservation first means ensuring conservation is the first resource considered before
building new generation and transmission facilities, wherever cost-effective. Conservation
is the cleanest and cheapest energy resource and it offers consumers a way to reduce
their energy bills.
./cont’d
Page 131 of 251
-4To continue our efforts to put conservation first, our government is supporting local
community energy planning and engaging municipalities through the Municipal Energy
Plan (MEP) program.
Launched in 2013, the MEP program supports municipalities’ efforts to better understand
their local energy needs, develop plans to meet their goals, and identify opportunities for
energy efficiency and clean energy. MEPs will help municipalities:
• assess the broader community’s energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions;
• identify opportunities to conserve, improve energy efficiency and reduce GHG
• emissions;
• consider impact of future growth and options for local clean energy generation; and
• support local economic development.
This past summer, I announced that Ontario would begin accepting MEP applications on
an ongoing basis for two funding streams:
• Development of a New Municipal Energy Plan: Successful applicants will receive
50 per cent of eligible costs, up to a maximum of $90,000.
• Enhancement of an Existing Energy Plan: Successful applicants will receive 50 per
cent of eligible costs, up to a maximum of $25,000.
I encourage municipalities to apply to the MEP Program. You can review the program
guidelines and application form at www.energy.gov.on.ca/en/municipal-energyi. You can
also get answers to any questions you might have by email at [email protected].
Broader Public Sector Energy Reporting and Conservation and Demand
Management Planning
A regulation (www.elaws.gov.on.ca/html/source/regs/english/201 1 /elaws_src_regs_rl 1
397_e.htm) came into force January 1, 2012 that requires broader public sector (BPS)
organizations, such as municipalities, to report on the energy consumed and greenhouse
gas emissions in their facilities on an annual basis starting July 1, 2013 and to develop a
five-year energy conservation and demand management plan (CDM) for their facilities
starting July 1, 2014.
Under the regulation, broader public sector organizations must make their annual energy
reports and five-year energy CDM plans publically available on their websites and in hard
copy. Public agencies will need to post five-year energy CDM plans starting in 2014.
Plans must be updated every five years beginning in 2019.
In 2014, 90.5 per cent of municipalities reported their annual energy use and 77 per cent
indicated they have developed a five-year CDM plan. This compares to 93 per cent of all
broader public sector organizations submitting their annual energy report and 82 per cent
indicating they have developed a conservation and demand management plan.
./cont’d
Page 132 of 251
-5-
The Ministry of Energy is currently consulting on proposed amendments to the regulation.
These proposed changes are intended to simplify the reporting process for BPS
organizations, improve the quality of the data being submitted and ensure continued
reporting. The Ministry posted a plain language description of the proposed changes on
the Environmental Registry on November 26, 2014 for a 45 day public comment period.
The Environmental Registry can be found at www.ebr.gov.on.ca/. The comment period will
end on January 10, 2015.
I encourage you as head of council to ensure your municipality meets the requirements of
this regulation. In addition to helping municipalities manage their electricity use and costs,
energy reporting and conservation plans will also inform the Ontario government about
energy use in the broader public sector and help Ontario to develop and enhance policies
and programs in the future.
The Ministry of Energy has made the energy consumption data submitted by broader
public sector organizations in 2013 publicly available on Ontario’s Open Data website at
www.ontario.ca/governmentlgovernment-ontario-open-data.
Energy East
On October 30, 2014, TransCanada PipeLines Limited filed its application with the
National Energy Board (NEB) to develop its proposed Energy East pipeline, which would
carry Alberta crude oil across Ontario into Québec and onward to New Brunswick.
The project would have a total length of approximately 4,500 kilometres, with about 2,060
kilometres of natural gas pipeline converted to oil service and an additional 104 kilometres
of new build oil pipeline in Ontario. As currently proposed, the project involves converting,
from natural gas to oil service, the portion of the TransCanada Mainline that runs across
the prairies and Northern Ontario to North Bay and on to Cornwall. In addition, there
would be new oil pipeline construction in Alberta, Ontario (east of Cornwall), Québec and
New Brunswick.
The NEB is currently reviewing TransCanada’s application to determine the completeness
of the filing. The NEB expects to complete its review no later than the second quarter of
2015, at which point it will issue a Hearing Order. The Hearing Order will detail the NEB’s
regulatory process and timelines. The NEB will then have 15 months to complete the
hearing and provide its recommendations to the Federal Cabinet which will have three
months to review and make the final determination. The people of Ontario have important
interests at stake in the proposed Energy East project and the province intends to
intervene in the NEB’s regulatory process.
Given the significance of TransCanada’s proposal and to ensure Ontarians have the
opportunity to express their views, I’ve asked the OEB to complete a report, and to
engage with municipalities, First Nation and Métis communities, stakeholders and the
public to ensure this project is safe for the people of our province, the environment, and
beneficial for our economy.
./cont’d
Page 133 of 251
-6We initiated the OEB process to hear directly from communities. In addition, the technical
experts engaged by the OEB will help inform Ontario’s position on critical matters such as
pipeline safety, environmental impacts, and impacts of Energy East on Ontario’s natural
gas consumers. The province’s perspective on Energy East is that the reliability of
Ontario’s natural gas supply and ensuring the public safety of Ontarians are nonnegotiable issues.
The second round of meetings with the same parties will proceed over a 2 week period
beginning in mid-January 2015. The OEB provides regular updates on its website
regarding community meetings. At this time, the expectation is that the OEB’s final report
on Energy East will be available in the late first quarter of 2015.
I believe that these initiatives and activities demonstrate the Ontario government’s sincere
desire to work with municipalities on energy issues. We have made important changes to
increase the role of municipalities in the development of energy projects so that, together,
we can fulfill the vision of the 2013 LTEP.
Once again, please accept my congratulations and best wishes for a successful term of
office.
Sincerely,
.x,.

Dear Mayor and Council:
RE:
Appointments
-
County of Simcoe Affordable Housing Advisory Committee
In January of 2014 County Council approved a recommendation to adopt a 10 year affordable housing
and homelessness prevention strategy for the County of Simcoe. County Council further approved the
establishment of an Advisory Committee that would assume the lead role in developing and overseeing
an implementation plan, for the consideration of Committee and Council that would achieve the
objectives set out in the strategy. This Advisory Committee held its first meeting in May 2014.
A copy of the full 10 year Affordable Housing and Homelessness Prevention Strategy document can be
viewed under Social Housing on the County of Simcoe website at www.simcoe.ca.
In accordance with the Terms of Reference, this Committee’s composition is comprised of six (6)
municipal representatives (based on geographic areas of the County), and six non-municipal members
that were selected based on expertise rather than geographic location.
As it is now the start of a new Council term, the County is requesting that the Mayors and Deputy
Mayors of the geographic regions (identified below) collaborate and put forward the name of a
Committee representative who will represent their collective area on the Affordable Housing Advisory
Committee. The representative may be either an elected official or a municipal staff member. For
tailored solutions to local challenges, municipal representatives should liaise where applicable with
local housing committees and the municipalities they represent. The following are the municipal areas
of representation:
• One (1) representative for East Simcoe, representing the Townships of Oro-Medonte, Ramara
and Severn;
• One (1) representative for North Simcoe representing the Towns of Midland and
Penetanguishene, and the Townships of Tay and Tiny:
• One (1) representative for South Simcoe, representing the Towns of Sradford West Gwiliimbury,
Innisfil, and New Tecumseth, and the Townships of Essa and AdjaIa-Tosorontio;
• One (1) representative for West Simcoe, representing the Towns of Collingwood and Wasaga
Beach and the Townships of Clearview and Springwater.
As per the Terms of Reference, the cities of Barrie and Orillia have also been asked to each appoint
one representative from their municipality to sit on this Committee.

Mayors and Deputy Mayors
Simcoe County Member Municipalities
Please find attached a letter regarding the County’s Affordable Housing Advisory Committee. The attached
letter has been sent (via e-mail) to the Municipal Clerk of each member municipality with a request to circulate
the letter to their Mayor and Council. However, we feel it may be helpful to provide some further clarification
regarding the process for putting forth the names of representatives for this Committee.
As per the Terms of Reference1 this Committee is comprised of one representative from each of the four
geographic areas of the County. These geographic areas are outlined in the attached letter. The
representative for each geographic area may be either an elected official or a member of municipal
staff. Committee membership also includes one representative from the City of Barrie and one representative
from the City of Orillia. There are also 6 non-municipal members on this Committee representing the public,
private and non-profit sectors. Those individuals were appointed in 2014 and their appointments have been
renewed by County Council for the upcoming term.
The letter attached is asking that the Mayors and Deputy Mayors of each of the four geographic areas of the
County (as outlined in the letter) collaborate and put forward the name of one individual who will represent
their (collective) geographic area; the County is not seeking a representative from each municipality within the
respective geographic area but rather one representative for each geographic area.
Municipalities are also not being asked to officially appoint the representative. We ask only that each
municipality forward to the County Clerk’s Department by January G, 2015, an e-mail/letter confirming the
name of the representative selected in order that the representatives can be formally appointed to the
Committee at the January 1 3 Council meeting.
Should you have any questions regarding the process, please do not hesitate to contact either Brenda Clark,
County Clerk, or myself.

To: Mayor and Councillors
This letter is regarding the gravel section of Fairgrounds Road (North of Warminster Road and North of
Thorburn Road).
The road is a health and safety concern for local residents due to years of neglect. The potholes are
many and large. Driving on this road is dangerous as a driver could lose control and go into the ditch, or
worse, into an oncoming vehicle. Not all vehicles drive at a snails pace for the condition of the road
even though they may be driving at the legal speed limit.
Another concern is the damage caused to vehicles driving daily on this road. The cost of repairs is
exorbitant.
The gravel is inadequate and when graded the road is back to pot holes, sometimes within an hour.
This section of road does not meet the Ontario minimum standard. This has been an ongoing issue for
the past seven years. Complaints to the Township Office, Ward 3 Councillor and Road Superintendent
have not resulted in any improvements or repairs.
We understand that our road is not included in the 2015 budget This is totally unacceptable. We need
immediate action in the way of gravel, ditching, culvert installation and hard top resurfacing.
We have enclosed a petition of signatures of dissatisfied residents and taxpayers.
We would ask that our request be dealt with and included in the 2015 Budget.
Thank you

Applications to release reservations continued in Lots 76 & 77 Registered Plan
976 in the County of Simcoe. Being part of Lot 23 Concession 5 in the
Geographic Township of Matchedash.
To Whom it May Concern:
We have received applications from Eric and Catherine Berge to release the following clause
“Saving, Excepting and Reserving ten per cent of the acreage hereby granted for roads, and the
right to lay out the some where the Crown or its officers may deem necessary” contained in the
original Crown grant for Lots 76 & 77 Plan 976.
In order for this Ministry to consider the applications we need to know whether the Township of
Severn Council is of the opinion that, the present and future needs for roads in the area have
been adequately provided for and they approve of the release.
The Township at this time has also the option of assuming the road by passing a by-law or
assuming the dedication, If the Municipality assumes the dedication MNR will consider it a
common and public highway. As a common public highway, the ownership vests in the
municipality, pursuant to section 262 of the Municipal Act. The municipality is then free to
dispose of it in accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Act.
Please advise of the Township of Severn Council position regarding the above request.
Yours truly,

Severn Township
Mayor and Council,
We would like to draw to your attention, the continuing deterioration of Wilson Point Road North and
South. We are hoping that the repair and resurfacing of Wilson Point Road, North to South, can take
place within the capital expenditures budget, planning and projects for 2015.
A number of years ago, this road surface was ideal, even for roller blading. Today it is full of pot holes,
loose gravel, torn asphalt and heaves. Some areas of this stretch of roadway are not in as dire shape as
others, but as a whole, considering the number of full times residents residing here and using the road
year round, we think it’s obvious that it needs to be repaired before it deteriorates further
It is our understanding that Severn Township has a mandate to have as many roads paved in the
township as possible. ctf inn El sh uld cci,/iAc 4 Ac as/%// ,ai,,ñy.
We believe it would be quite difficult to find a paved road within the township that is in as bad shape as
this section (other than Cunningham Crescent), but also realize that this section of Wilson Point will
require a much more detailed and expensive repair
We appreciate Mayor and Council taking into consideration our request.
Sincerely,
Residents of Wilson Point
I

oral submissions or written objections but disagree with the decision may appeal the
decision to the Ontario Municipal Board, as entitled under the Planning Act. If
individuals wish further notification of this application, please record your name, address
and telephone number on the appropriate list located at the rear of the Council
Chambers.
PUBLIC MEETING NO. I
The Chair requested the Township Planner to explain the intent and purpose of the
Application for a Zoning By-law Amendment for 4069 Digby Drive.
The Planner advised those in attendance that the purpose of the application is to amend
By-law No. 2010-65 as it applies to property described as Part Lot 1, Concession 1,
Registered Plan 51 R-14480, Parts 1 & 2, geographic Township of North Orillia, now in
the Township of Severn from the Light Industrial (Ml) Zone to the Light Industrial
Exception Six (M1-6) Zone. The rezoning will restore the permitted uses allowed under
the former Township of Orillia Zoning By-law and recognize the historical industrial use
of the subject lands for a saw mill.
The Planner advised that notice of this application was given in accordance with the
Planning Act on November 28, 2014 and the following correspondence has been
received:

This rezoning will restore the permitted uses allowed under the previous “General
Industrial Exception Three (M2-3)” Zone which applied to the land under the former
Township of Orillia zoning by-law by recognizing the historical industrial use of the
subject lands for a saw mill.
The subject land has been the home of the Bass Lake Sawmill for decades. Over the
years, a number of residential lots have been severed off the property and developed.
The Locke subdivision is currently under development to the rear of the sawmill
property. The location of the subject property can be seen in the key map on Appendix
1 and an aerial view is provided in Appendix 2.
In August of 2010, Council passed By-law No. 2010-65, the Township’s new
Comprehensive Zoning By-law. This replaced the zoning by-laws of the former
Townships of Drillia, Medonte, Matchedash, Tay and the Village of Coldwater. At that
time the previous site-specific zoning in the former Township of Orillia Zoning By-law
was renumbered from M2-3 to Ml -6, but it appears that the associated text was
inadvertently left out of the body of the By-law. As a result, the land was effectively un
zoned. It is proposed to insert provisions for the M1-6 into the text of the By-law.
As the historical use has become surrounded with residential use, the long-term
compatibility and viability of the site for a sawmill should be considered. Therefore it is
recommended that some of the permitted uses in the standard “Light Industrial” (Ml)
zone be carried forward to enable a future transition to a less intrusive use. Because of
the traffic issues associated with the adjacent residential uses and the quality of the
entrances from Digby Drive onto Highway 12, only uses which are not expected to
create an increase in traffic are recommended. Consideration of a residential use would
have to be preceded by an Official Plan Amendment as the property is currently
designated as employment lands.
A draft by-law is attached as Appendix 3 for Committee’s consideration which includes
the proposed list of permitted uses for the Light Industrial Exception Six (Ml -6) Zone for
the subject lands.
Subject to the comments received at the public meeting, and any additional
submissions from circulated agencies and departments, and any further review that
Planning Committee may seek, Staff supports this proposed amendment to the Zoning
By-law.

(See Resolution No. PD12181401)
PUBLIC MEETING NO. 2
The Chair requested the Township Planner to explain the intent and purpose of the
Application for a Zoning By-law Amendment for 1591 Dunns Line.
The Planner advised those in attendance that the purpose of the application is to amend
By-law No. 201 0-65 to rezone property described as Part Lots 19 & 20, Concession 14,
geographic Township of Medonte, now in the Township of Severn, municipally known
as 1591 Dunns Line as follows:
1. To rezone the severed lands under Application for Consent B-i 7-14 (Myers I
Watson) from the Agricultural (AG) Zone to the Rural Residential (RR) Zone
to recognize the reduced lot size and reflect the intended residential use of
the lands.
The Planner advised that notice of this application was given in accordance with the
Planning Act on November 28, 2014 and the following correspondence has been
received:

This application will rezone the severed lands under application for consent B-i 7-14
(Myers I Watson) from the Agricultural (AG) Zone to the Rural Residential (RR) Zone to
recognize the reduced lot size and reflect the intended residential use of the lands. This
Zoning By-law Amendment is needed to fulfill a condition of provisionally approved
application for consent B-i 7-14 (Myers I Watson).
The applicant received approval to sever a portion of the property for a new residential
lot having frontage of approximately 91 .Sm (300 ft.) on Dunns Line and area of
approximately 0.8 ha (2 acres). The retained lands would have an area of approximately
13.4 ha (33 acres) and frontage of approximately 100.5 m (331 ft.). The “parent lands’,
1607 Dunns Line (a portion of the proposed severed lands) was previously merged on
title with 1591 Dunns Line (the subject lands) (Appendix i). The severance is
conditional upon the newly created parcel being rezoned to reflect its frontage and lot
area.
A discussion of the various planning documents that have bearing on this application
follows.
Provincial Policy Statement, 2014
Limited residential development is permitted in rural areas.
Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2006, as amended, January 2012
Direction is not provided with regard to zoning or classification of individual properties.
The creation of the lot by Consent was based on its abilities to satisfy the applicable
provincial policies, particularly the criteria for the creation of an “infill” lot.
County of Simcoe Official Plan, 2007
Section 3.6.7 “In rural areas, uses permitted are those listed in 3.6.6 plus highway
commercial, institutional, residential lots created by consent, country recreational
facilities to a maximum of 40 lots and rural business parks.” Therefore, “rural lots
permitted by consent are recognized” as a permitted use.
Section 3.6.11 “In rural areas, country residential development through subdivision by
Plan, rather than consent, is preferred. However, lots may be created by consent
according to the following guidelines:
a) Lots should be restricted in size in order to conserve other lands in larger blocks
for agricultural or environmental purposes. Consent lots should be developed to
an approximate maximum size of one hectare, except where larger sizes may be
suitable because of environmental constraints or design considerations.
16
Page 166 of 251
December 18, 2014
b) The number of lots on the grid road system should be restricted in order to
maintain the rural character and road function and to avoid strip development.
c) In geographic areas set out in local official plans, provision may be made for
residential lots larger than one hectare where required for servicing purposes,
environmental considerations, or to maintain established lot and development
patterns.
The proposed consent would result in a lot which is similar in size to neighbouring
parcels and would be an improvement on the previously existing lot pattern; in terms of
preserving agricultural potential.
Township of Severn Official Plan
Section 8.2 New Lots By Consent
The proposed severance satisfies the applicable direction provided in Section 8.2.1
General Criteria for Consents regarding, road frontage, environmental impacts, etc..
Those policies provide for the consideration of different types of Consents, including
“Technical Severances”.
The request for severance was originally initiated in order to address the merging of two
parcels, 1607 and 1519 Dunns Line, when they came into common ownership through
the provisions of a will which was intended to convey ownership of 1591 to the grand
daughter pending the grandson reaching the age of majority. As the grand-daughter
received ownership of 1607 through the provisions of the will, the abutting parcels were
merged although that was not the intent of the will.
As the two abutting properties were clearly in separate ownership and existed as
separate parcels prior to 1975, but were subsequently merged on title due to common
ownership of abutting parcels (the “changes in the Planning Act” which the text refers
to), it would appear that the “re-splitting” of the original lot configuration the proposed
should be considered to be a ‘Technical Severance” under the Township’s Consent
policies. This policy would seem to be clearly directed at situations such as this
application where previously separate parcels where merged through changes to the
Planning Act. However, a strict reading of the policy as written would seem to disqualify
the recreation of the previous lot lines as the merger was not the result of a purchase,
but a transfer by Will.
Thus it appears that although the technical severance policies are supportive of the
intent of the recreating the previous lot configuration, reliance on this provision may be
subject to challenge. In reviewing the proposal, it appeared that creation of a residential
17
Page 167 of 251
December 18, 2014
lot fronting on Dunns Line and leaving the balance of 1591 merged with 1607 would
more closely reflect the intent of the policy environment which is to minimize disruptions
to the character of rural areas and preserve the potential of prime agricultural lands for
agricultural production. The area of the proposed lot contains Class 5-7 agricultural
land, with only the rear portion being considered to be “prime agricultural lands. As this
approach would address the needs of the applicant, they brought forth the subject
application.
Section B8.2.6 of the Township’s Official Plan indicates that the creation of a new
infilling lot in the Rural designation may be permitted if the proposal meets the test of an
infilling lot by being located between two existing residences on the same side of the
road separated by not more than 150 metres, a lot has not been created from the
original parcel since 1994 and that the proposed lot conforms to MDS calculations.
In this case, the proposed lot is considered infilling as the application satisfied the
policies of the Official Plan.
Township of Severn Zoning By-law 2010-65
The property is currently zoned Agricultural (AG) under Township of Severn Zoning By
law 2010-65. The Minimum Lot Area in the AG Zone is 40 ha and the Minimum Lot
Frontage is 60 m. Therefore, the proposed severed parcel is undersized for the AG
Zone, given that it is intended to be a residential lot. Due to the size and intended use of
the proposed severed lot the Rural Residential (RR) is felt to be appropriate, the lot will
exceed the minimum frontage and area requirements for a new lot within the RR Zone.
Subject to the comments received at the public meeting, and any additional
submissions from circulated agencies and departments, and any further review that
Planning Committee may seek, Staff supports this proposed amendment to the Zoning
By-law.
Financial Impact
There are no external costs associated with the proposed zoning by-law amendment.
