As Council is likely aware, the Ontario Planning Act requires Council to review its official plan at least once every 5 years to determine changes that might be needed to ensure that the official plan is consistent with the Province's policy statements. The current Official Plan was last reviewed and updated in 2011 and is due for its "five year review". We have been advised by the Town that there are certain items that Council would like to discuss, as they pertain to possible changes to the Official Plan. These include: 1) Severance policies in the agricultural area The Town's Official Plan currently allows the following types of severances in the agricultural area: the creation of agricultural lots provided the retained and severed lots are at least 40 hectares in size; the severing of land for lot addition purposes provided that the retained lot is at least 40 hectares in size and the severed land is being added to an abutting farm; the severing of a lot for an agricultural related commercial or industrial use, provided the lot is being severed from a farm that is at least 40 hectares in size; the severing of a lot for an agricultural related commercial or industrial use from a farm that is less than 40 hectares in size, provided the agricultural land is added to an abutting agricultural lot The creation of residential lots on lands designated "Agricultural Area" or "Restricted Agricultural Area" is prohibited by the Town's Official Plan. If Council is interested in allowing the creation of residential lots in the agricultural area, the only option that is permitted by the Provincial Policy Statement is the severing of an existing farm residence that is rendered surplus as a result of farm consolidation. The PPS requires a site specific Zoning By-law amendment to prohibit the building of a new dwelling on the lot which included the surplus dwelling 2) Minimum size of agricultural lots The Lambton County Official Plan supports a minimum farm size of 40 hectares (100 acres). The Planning Act requires local municipal official plans to conform to the County's Official Plan policies. As Council is likely aware, our Department is currently carrying out the drafting of an updated Lambton County Official Plan. As part of this project we have heard from various interests regarding the County's existing minimum lot size policy. The County of Lambton Agriculture Advisory Committee, comprised of representatives of the various agricultural sectors, is supportive of retaining a policy that supports a minimum farm size of 40 hectares. At least one municipality has indicated that it would like to amend its official plan to allow a minimum farm size of 20 hectares (50 acres). 3) Lands south of Egremont and Lakeshore Roads Most lands south of Egremont Road, between Mandaumin Road and Lakeshore Road, and south of Lakeshore Road, between Camlachie and the Townsend Line, are designated "Agricultural Area" and "Restricted Agricultural Area" by the Town's existing Official Plan. Egremont Road and Lakeshore Road provide a clear delineation of the areas that are intended to accommodate future growth in the lakeshore area and the areas that are intended to be retained for agricultural uses. Except for existing serviced uses and the hamlet of Errol Village, most land south of Egremont Road and Lakeshore Road is outside of the Plympton Wastewater Treatment Plant service area. Consequently, the lands are not intended to be provided with municipal sanitary sewers and this limits their ability to accommodate development. I look forward to our initial discussion of these items and any others identified by members of Council. Process for reviewing the Official Plan A proposed timeline that reflects the process for updating an official plan, including the steps required by the Planning Act, is attached.

If passed, the new, strengthened Great Lakes Protection Act will protect and restore our Great Lakes, to help keep them drinkable, fishable, and swimmable. The strengthened act, if passed, would: Help to fight climate change, reduce harmful algal blooms, and protect wetlands and other coastal areas Monitor and report on the health of the lakes Bring people together to take local action on priority issues Build on Ontario’s leadership in protecting the Great Lakes, including our Great Lakes Strategy and partnerships with Canada, Québec, and the U.S. Great Lakes states The proposed act reflects feedback we’ve received on previous versions of the bill. We encourage you to provide your comments on the Ontario Environmental Registry. Comments will be accepted until April 19, 2015. Today’s action builds on the recently signed Canada–Ontario Agreement on Great Lakes Water Quality and Ecosystem Health which is the principal mechanism through which Ontario and Canada coordinate their work to address their respective and shared commitments to protect the Great Lakes. The proposed Great Lakes Protection Act also builds upon Ontario’s Great Lakes Guardian Community Fund which was established to help people take action to protect and restore their corner of the Great Lakes. If you have any questions or would like more information please email Chris Lompart. I look forward to continuing to work with you to protect our Great Lakes now, and for future generations.

Town Council denied the rezoning application due to concerns regarding the number of accessory dwelling units proposed and the general upkeep of the property. t3l Town Council's decision was then appealed by the Proponents to the Ontario Municipal Board ("Board"). I4l Prior to the commencement of this hearing event, the Parties advised that subsequent to Town Council's denial of the application submitted, a number of discussions have taken place between them and a revised proposal has been prepared which is satisfactory to both. The revised proposal allows only one accessory dwelling unit. tsl ln relation to the agreement reached, the Parties have executed Minutes of Settlement ("MOS') and a related Site Plan Agreement ('SPA") dated September 24, 2014.1 am now being asked to approve that by-law ("Agreed-upon By-law',) which is attached hereto and identified as Attachment 1. t6l ln support of the settlement, John Robert Nesbitt, a Senior planner with the County of Lambton filed an affidavit ("Nesbitt Affidavit"). ln that affidavit, Mr. Nesbitt opined, inter alia, that the Agreed-Upon By-law conforms to the Town's Official plan, is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement 2014 and allowing an accessory apartment on the subject site is consistent with the intent of the Town's by-law for properties which are zoned Central Commercial. He also pointed out that, in his view, the MOS and the SPA address the concerns which have been raised by residents in the area. l7l Certain residents who reside near the site in question participated in today,s proceeding and specifically commented on the general upkeep of the proponent,s property, i.e. that it has not been properly maintained. / 3 P1140688 l8l Based on the Nesbitt Affidavit which deals with all relevant planning consíderations, the settlement reached and the provisions of the MOS and the SpA, I am satisfied the proposal should be approved. Among other things, the SpA imposes a number of obligations on the Proponents concerning the maintenance and upkeep of their property' This, in my view, is an effective way for the Town to easily monitor and control the matter of general upkeep and, at the same time, address the concerns of area residents. l9l Accordingly, Town By-law g7 of 2003 is hereby amended in accordance with the Agreed-upon By-law. The Board's order however, shall be withheld pending confirmation from the Town that the obligations of the Proponents set out in paragraph of the SPA are met. 2 "Steven Stefanko" STEVEN STEFANKO VICE CHAIR Ontario Municipal Board A constituent tribunal of Environment and Land Tribunals Ontario website: www.elto.gov.on.ca Telephone:416-212-6349 Toll Free: 1-g66-44g-224g ATTACHMENT 1 CORPORANON OF THE =L"'ll',ì1"å,l.ilWiy8lliî, (Being a By-tawto "r"--l-,"ù WHEREAS the Gouncíl oi fre Corpoi:ation of thr q ? ::"d " "o m p * n " n,îe 2003; Zonins dv-i"* s7ïi åå 97 of 2003) Jtil ìi'j ;Äf Htj?ïit"",#|:l AND WHEREAS the co.uncir of tl-e corporation af the Town of prymptonWyoming deems it desirable to amend ttre salO Sy_taw; Now THEREFORE, the councir of the corporation of the Town of pryrnptonWyoming enacts as foÍours: f. 2" is hereby declared to form part of this By_law. w 9Z of 2003 is hereby amended by adding the c) 3' One Accessory apertunent drrelling This Bplaw shall come into force and effect DurÊuant tn soef,r¡¡c aA t.4\ ¡v vvuuv'¡ù úa t4 t/ or Section 34 (go) of lhe plannlng n.S.O. i9òõ, --- ' READ A FTRSTAND SECOND T|ME TH¡S DAy OF READ A THIRD TIME AND FINALLY PASSED THIS _ _,2014.

There will be an increase in contractor vehicles and heavy equipment transportation that may impact traffic flow. We will work with our contractors to make every effort to minimize traffic disruptions, delays, dust and noise. The safety of every worker and community member during the construction work is Suncor's priority. We ask that the community adheres to all flag persons' direction, traffic signs and speed limits during construction activity, and appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. We recognize this timing is before the Environmental Review Tribunal decision. We respect the process and care about the concerns brought forward during this time, and will adhere to any decision made by the Tribunal.

A new tool kit resource has been prepared that identifies land use and development strategies to enhance the rural built environment and contribute to positive quality of life/health outcomes. The tool kit brings a rural lens to issues that are often viewed from an urban perspective. Numerous examples and innovative practices from across the province are profiled. This tool kit recognizes many characteristics associated with rural communities including a low density population, a declining population in some areas, aging citizens, youth out migration, rural land uses, and an economy that is significantly different from that of urban Ontario. The tool kit includes the following objectives: • To identify existing effective land use planning policies and models of practice for healthy rural built environments. • To recognize the benefits of a coordinated approach to rural planning and development that uses a range of regulatory and non-regulatory tool • To identify innovative land use planning policies and initiatives that can contribute to healthy communities and healthy populations. For more information on this project or the accompanying literature please visit: www.ruralhealthycommunities.ca This tool kit was made possible through a Locally Driven Collaborative Project, funded by Public Health Ontario. 2015 Farmland Forum Pursuing Diverse & Collaborative Approaches to Farmland Protection A day of networking, learning, and creative-thinking about new tools, partnerships, and grassroots approaches to strengthen farmland protection in Ontario.
