Henry Sander Township of Severn Box 159. 1024 Hurlwood Lane Orillia, ON., L3V 6J3 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.

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. tel: 705-325-2201 x3858 • e: [email protected] 170 Colborne Street West, Orillia, Ontario L3V 2Z3 Page 21 of 251 Our fundraising sub-committee held a very successful inaugural event, ‘Seducing Dr. Seuss’ in an effort to augment the contributions of our municipal funders.

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.

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,.

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.

Kytayko, Director of Social Housing Page 141 of 251 This Page Has Been Intentionally Left Blank Page 142 of 251 K-2 December 22, 2014 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.

Attention: Sharon Georke Township Clerk - Subject: 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.

Andrew Zyp Page 147 of 251 Page 148 of 251 K-4 December21, 2014 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.

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: Planning Report No. P14-059, 12109114 Background County Official Plan: Township Official Plan: Existing Township Zoning: Proposed Zoning: Legal Description: Municipal Address: Rural & Agriculture Settlement Employment Area Light Industrial Exception (Ml-6) Zone Light Industrial Exception Six (Ml-6) Concession 1 Part Lot 1, Reference Plan 51R- 14480, Parts 2 and 1, geographic Township of North Orillia, now in the Township of Severn 4069 Digby Drive 9 Page 159 of 251 December 18, 2014 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. 10 Page 160 of 251 December 18, 2014 Financial Impact There are no external costs associated with the proposed zoning by-law amendment.

CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF SEVERN MAYOR CLERK The Chair inquired if the applicant or his/her representative had anything to add to the presentation? There were no comments from the applicant. The Chair inquired if there were any persons present who had either questions or comments on the application? The Chair requested that those providing comments on the application please rise, state their name and address and spell their last name for the minutes. The Chair also advised that the names and addresses of those individuals who speak at the meeting will appear in the meeting minutes which are public documents. John Hollebek, resident of 4043 Digby Drive, addressed the Committee and inquired if the property could be used as a sawmill as it is not used as a sawmill at the present time. • The Planner advised that there is an existing sawmill on the property and products are being processed from off site materials. The Chair inquired if there were any further information which staff or the applicant may wish to provide? 14 Page 164 of 251 December 18, 2014 There were no further comments from staff or the applicant. As there were no further comments on this application, the Chair declared the public portion of the meeting closed at 7:06 p.m. The Chair inquired if members of the Committee required further clarification of the application or had any further comments. Member Dunlop inquired if the business will be able to carry on as it is today. • The Planner advised that the rezoning is to recognize the current use which can carry on. (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: Planning Report No. P14-060, 12l08l14 Background County Official Plan: Township Official Plan: Existing Township Zoning: Proposed Zoning: Legal Description: Municipal Address: Agricultural and Rural Rural (see below) Agricultural (AG) Rural Residential (RR) West Part Lot 19 & 20, Concession 14, geographic Township of Medonte 1591 Dunns Line 15 Page 165 of 251 December 18, 2014 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. 18 Page 168 of 251 December 18, 2014 Appendix 1 I —a— C ) V \‘ •a I a— 4 _6 Appendix 2 F / 0 0 S 2 t C, .o — C •< 0 ..a S S 19 Page 169 of 251 December 18, 2014 Appendix 3 THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF SEVERN BY-LAW NO. 201 5-XX BEING A ZONING BY-LAW TO REGULATE THE USE OF LAND AND THE CHARACTER, LOCATION AND USE OF BUILDINGS OR STRUCTURES ON CERTAIN LANDS DESCRIBED AS PART OF WEST PART LOT 19 & 20, CONCESSION 14, GEOGRAPHIC TOWNSHIP OF MEDONTE, NOW IN THE TOWNSHIP OF SEVERN (1591 DUNNS LINE) WHEREAS the mailers hereinafter set out comply with the Official Plan in effect for the Township of Severn; AND WHEREAS the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Severn deems it advisable to amend the provisions of Zoning By-law No. 2010-65, as otherwise amended, as they apply to those lands described as West Part Lot 19 & 20, Concession 14, geographic Township of Medonte, municipally known as 1591 Dunns Line; NOW THEREFORE THE COUNCIL OF THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF SEVERN HEREBY ENACTS AS FOLLOWS: 1.
