5. Public Hearing to Consider Drainage Reports

5.1 Robert McDonald Municipal Drain Report

Bill Dietrich, P. Eng, Dietrich Engineering presented the Robert

MacDonald Municipal Drain report and explained that the purpose was to

review the engineering and scope of work.

He explained that Section 4 of the Drainage Act gives the authority to

prepare the report which was obtained by a resolution of the Township of

Huron-Kinloss Council to prepare an Engineer’s Report.

Mr. Dietrich explained that the existing Robert MacDonald Award

Municipal Drain was originally constructed under the authority of a

report prepared by A. W. Clark, P.Eng., of Maitland Engineering Services

Ltd., dated June 8, 1983. This report provided for the construction of a

closed drainage system from Lot 17, Concession 7, downstream to the

boundary between Lot 22 and Lot 23, Concession 6 former Township of

Huron also included was the deepening and incorporation of

approximately 200 meters of natural watercourse on the east part of Lot

23, Concession 6, and that the outlet for this drain is a natural

watercourse.

An information meeting was held to gather information from the

landowners and following the report was prepared for Council

consideration. Mr. Dietrich noted that the changes to take place as

described in the report which will become a new part of the existing

drainage system. He explained that the properties assessments and

construction costs are outlined in the report along with future maintenance

costs.

Council Questions and Comments

Questioned how the system was designed for a storm event and

of 57

confirmed that the petitioner is picking up the majority of the costs

associated with the drain.

Mr. Dietrich explained that the drainage system is designed for a 5-10

year storm and the drainage coefficient design standard used for this drain

is 38 mm of rainfall per 24 hours. It was confirmed that Mr. Hunter is

taking on the majority of costs on the drain.

A question was asked on where the overburden was coming from to

enclose the drain. It was explained that the material used for the

installation of the pipe along with an area that will be stripped will be used,

no material will be imported from off-site.

Questioned why a part of the drain would not be covered by OMAFRA for

grant funding. The Engineer explained that if you have an existing open

ditch under a municipal drain that portion is not eligible for 1/3 grant

funding to enclose it.

Public Comments

Terrance Jefferies, 110 Bruce Beach Road requested clarification on the

location of the MacDonald Drain.

It was clarified that the drain location was Concession 6, east of Highway

21.

5.1.1 Robert MacDonald Municipal Drain, 2021 Report DRAIN2021-

07-14

Resolution No.: 509

Moved by: Carl Sloetjes

Seconded by: Jim Hanna

That the Township of Huron-Kinloss Council hereby approves

Report Number DRAIN 2021-07-14 prepared by Grant Collins,

Drainage Superintendent and approves the Robert MacDonald

Municipal Drain prepared by Dietrich Engineering Limited of

Waterloo for an improvement AND FURTHER authorizes

provisional approval on tonight’s agenda AND FUTHER approves

the Court of Revision to take place on Monday August 9, 2021 at

7:30 p.m.

of 57

5.2 Bruce Beach Municipal Drain Phase 1

Steve Brickman, P. Eng, Headway Engineering presented the Bruce

Beach Municipal Drain Phase 1 Report. He explained that there are 3

components of the drain that will be discussed, including the construction

of the detention pond, Lake Range Drive road crossing, and

improvements to the ravine. It does not include works, the downstream

works to the beach. That will be included in a separate phase.

He explained that Dietrich Engineering Limited was appointed by Council

on November 19, 2018, under Section 4 of the Drainage Act which

Council then modified its appointment of the Engineer on May 3, 2021, to

Headway Engineering.

Mr. Brickman reviewed the timeline of events that the project has taken

place so far. He noted that there was a significant event that happened

end of summer 2020 that enforced the need to move forward with the

project to protect public and private property.

In 2021, the Township applied to OMAFRA for an emergency order to

move forward quickly which was not approved and resulted in Headway

Engineering preparing the Phase 1 report that is being discussed at this

meeting. Phase 2 is to deal with taking the drainage system to the lake will

be presented in a separate report.

He noted that the findings include that nearly 200 acres drain to the ravine

and the ravine is experiencing high levels of erosion. He explained that

the design includes the construction of the detention facility (intercepting

surface water runoff, detains the water, and releases it in a controlled

manner downstream), road crossing on Lake Range Drive, and

improvements to the ravine.

He explained that through his modeling it was discovered that the ravine

erosion would continue in the same manner with the construction of the

detention pond. Mr. Brickman noted that flooding projects are designed

for big storm events and erosion projects for small storms.

The estimated costs are around one million dollars including allowances,

construction costs, administration, and taxes. Mr. Brickman went on to

explain the process moving forward, tonight's meeting is to consider

adopting the report, pass the provisional by-law and set the date for the

Court of Revision. Following Township staff will forward a copy of the

provisional by-law to the landowners and include a notice of the court of

revision. This is when the appeal process commences.

of 57

The Court of Revision is to deal with the assessment. Once the appeal

process is complete the Township can move forward with passing the By-

Law.

Council Comments and Questions

Confirmed that it is important to understand that it is the design elements

to be discussed tonight. Council requested clarification on the works going

downstream and the control structure at the detention facility.

Mr. Brickman explained that the outlet structure is CSP riser, circular

perforated surrounded by riprap to prevent debris from getting in. The cap

will control the flow going downstream. In emergency situations when the

flow is beyond what the system is designed it can overflow into the top

and into the emergency flow pipe.

A question was asked regarding the west of the Lake Range Dr, 20-meter

drop, and the orifice plate. Mr. Brickman clarified that the difference

between the orifice plate and ground centerline is 29 meters.

Council requested confirmation that the agriculture property where the

detention pond is located can still be farmed. The Engineer explained that

it is designed to be workable it would only have rainfall during an event

and a short time after, designed as a dry detention facility.

Public Comments

Peter Schlegel, questioned the depth of the detention pond and if it will

have any effect on his tile drainage system as it is all systematically

drained and was unsure of the location of his outlet.

Mr. Brickman confirmed that the location of his outlet is close to the

property line between his and Brucelea Poultry Farms and other outlets

upstream. The proposal will affect his tile and given him an allowance for

use of property and damages. The damage allowance is to provide

compensation for Mr. Schlegel to adjust his tile drainage system but it

won't impede his drainage.

Mr. Schelgal confirmed his net assessment for the project is approx

$130,000.

Tom Clark, 97 Bruce Beach Road noted that the Engineer provided an

outstanding report. He explained that during the events in 2018 and 2020

his property got washed out. Questioned if the design Phase 1 will slow

of 57

the velocity of the water so he won't experience what happened in 2018

and 2020.

Mr. Brickman confirmed with the construction, the damage seen in the

past will not occur, the flow will be substantially reduced and released in a

controlled manner.

David Moore, 94-2 Bruce Beach Road explained that the ravine is dry

most of the time when there is an event there is flow then get dry

again. He noted that the bend has eroded slightly only happens when

there is an event. He supports the detention facility and noted that it is the

key part to control the flow. He noted that there has been a new culvert

constructed with a grate with 2" holes on it and it is already blocked with

debris and with an event it could cause serious issues. Mr. Moore has

concerns with the cover on the culvert as it will cause damage to the

neighbouring properties that he understands was constructed without

approvals from the conservation authority and the Township.

He questioned what effects will the appeal process have on the timelines

for the construction of the detention pond and if the retention pond could

be dealt with separately from the ravine.

The Engineer explained that with the construction of the detention pond

the erosion of the ravine will remain similar to how it is currently.

Mr. Brickman explained that if there is an appeal it will hold up the

construction. He noted that the Tribunal is trying to have hearings however

they are backlogged. An appeal to the Tribunal on the design will hold up

construction, if there is an appeal to the assessment it may affect

construction times, it will be up to the Tribunal to determine to allow the

construction to proceed with an appeal to assessment.

Mark Gancevich, 98 Bruce Beach Road noted he was a major recipient of

water and his property has experienced several hundreds of thousands of

dollars of damages and noted that it is more than just the pond it is the

whole system that is failing. He felt that over the years the Township did

not allocate enough financial resources to the management of the water

and that the Township should look at the allocation for the Township's

portion for the system. He suggested that this system was not designed to

take the additional flows from the development at Lake Range and that

there have been missteps along the way.

Kristy Botden, 714 & 716 Lake Range Drive noted that in the report the

outlet for 98 Bruce Beach Road was not a long-term solution, she

of 57

questioned why consider Phase 1 if it is unknown where the outlet will be

for Phase 2. She further questioned if property owners would be assessed

for both Phases, what determines outlet liability, and is there a yearly

value in total for maintenance costs.

The Engineer explained that the project was looked at in phases as a way

to get the detention pond constructed being the most important

part. Phase 2 portion will deal with an outlet to the beach. Regardless of

the outcome of Phase 2 the work in Phase 1 is required and will not be

redone. Mr. Brickman confirmed that properties in the watershed would

be assessed for both phases of the work.

He explained that the outlet liability on all properties portion of the area

within the watershed and depends on the land cover type and the portion

of the property that uses the drain. Mr. Brickman explained that there

won't be an annual maintenance cost. Maintenance is performed as

needed on a response basis and billed out accordingly.

Richard Outerbridge- 89 Martyn Lane- Confirmed that the maintenance

costs are on an as-needed basis and questioned if, when Phase 1 and

Phase 2 will be protected from the 100-year storm.

Mr. Brickman confirmed that the level of damage that occurred in 2020

would not occur once the detention pond is constructed.

Barb Moffat 102 Bruce Beach Road- Noted that there was not a response

from Mark Gancevich earlier questions about the distribution of the costs

and questioned if Council had a response.

Council commented that the general levy is distributed across the

Township but the report and assessment are based on the drain

project. If you are part of the watershed and confirmed that property

owners are responsible for the water on their land as it contributes to the

municipal drain. Projects costs are isolated to those in the report, not the

entire Township different from storm sewer projects in urban areas.

Brett Pollock on behalf of Sandy Pollock 95-2 Bruce Beach Road - Noted

concerns with the work on the ravine and requested that the ravine be

taken out of the report until the outlet has been settled and requested

information on the appeal process as related to the design. Commented

that it might be an option to straighten the ravine.

of 57

Mr. Brickman explained that the appeal period for the design to the

Tribunal is a time-limit based on the mailing of the provisional By-Law (40

days) forms available from OMAFRA on the process.

Planning Report To: Township of Huron-Kinloss Council

From: Coreena Smith, Senior Development Planner

Date: August 9, 2021

Re: Zoning By-law Amendment – Z-2021-028 (Farrell)

Recommendation:

Subject to a review of submissions arising from the public meeting:

That a decision on Zoning By-law Amendment Z-2021-028 be deferred to a later date.

Summary:

The purpose of this application is to permit a surplus farm dwelling severance of a +/-0.79 ha lot from a 63.82 ha agricultural parcel at 952 Highway 21 (Huron), in the Township of Huron-Kinloss. An amendment to the Zoning By-Law is required to rezone the lands from General Agriculture (AG1) to General Agriculture Special (AG1-25.1) for the retained farm parcel to prevent development of a future dwelling, and Agricultural Residential Special (AG3-25.2) for the severed non-farm parcel. A holding provision requiring an Archaeological Assessment for the lands containing high archaeological potential is proposed. The Environmental Protection (EP) zone will remain unchanged.

County staff are recommending that a decision on the application be deferred to a later date pending confirmation from the applicant that the single detached dwelling on the subject lands is habitable.

A related Consent application (File B-2021-036) will be considered by the County at a later.

The subject lands are situated southeast of Highway 21 and Concession 10.

Planning Analysis:

The following section provides an overview of the planning considerations that were factored into the staff recommendation for this application, including relevant agency comments (attached) and planning policy sections.

Surplus Farm Dwelling Severance

The lands are in a prime agricultural area. The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) restricts severances in prime agricultural areas to limit the impacts to agricultural operations. Lot creation in prime agricultural areas is only permitted in the following circumstances:

• For agricultural uses; • For agricultural related uses; • For a dwelling surplus to a farming operation; and, • For infrastructure.

Further, the PPS states that the surplus residential lots are to be limited in size to accommodate water and sewage, and that new residential dwellings be prohibited on the larger farm parcel (retained lands).

The County Official Plan establishes criteria for agricultural severances in addition to the PPS policies. The lands are primarily designated Agricultural Areas, which permits the severance of a surplus farm dwelling subject to the criteria below:

• The applicant must be a bona fide farmer; • The farmer must own and farm the subject lands; • They must own and farm other lands; • They must reside elsewhere; • The dwelling must be habitable; and, • Minimal active farmland should be removed from agricultural production.

The applicant meets the definition of a bona fide farmer. They own multiple properties in the area for agricultural purposes. The existing dwelling on the subject lands is surplus to their needs.

The lands to be severed are also limited in size to accommodate the residence, a garage, a well and the existing sewage disposal system. As little land as possible is to be removed from the agricultural area.

The proposal meets all the criteria established in the PPS and County Official Plan for agricultural severances, except for the habitability of the dwelling which is discussed below.

Habitable Dwelling

The only kind of residential severance allowed under the PPS is a surplus farm dwelling severance. The County Official Plan requires the existing surplus dwelling to be habitable at

of 57

the time of application. The intent of the policies is to maintain the viability of agricultural system by ensuring that all lands available for agricultural production are maintained for that purpose, while allowing farm operators the ability to dispose of viable residential dwellings that they do not require for themselves or their farm help. It also allows famers an option to sell rather than renting such dwellings, which many do not have the time or interest in pursuing.

The policies have the added benefit of allowing an alternative housing option for potential purchasers who may be seeking a more rural lifestyle. The policies also align with the Ontario Building Code requirements, which seek to ensure that the dwelling to be severed is suitable for human habitation.

Based on separate site visits conducted by County and Township staff, the existing yellow brick farmhouse is not occupied and is in need repairs. The extent of repairs that would be needed to make it habitable per the Ontario Building Code is not known as a full assessment of both the exterior and interior of the structure has not been completed. Given this uncertainty, it cannot be confirmed that the house is habitable or easily made habitable and thus eligible for severance. Should the house not be habitable, approval of the Zoning By-law Amendment and related Consent would facilitate the severance of a vacant lot which is contrary to the intent of the policies. In addition, the house is not currently connected to hydro but there is a connection available. There is also an existing well and septic system available. B.M. Ross and Associates Limited, who are the Township’s agent for administration of the Sewage Systems under the Ontario Building Code, have advised that the septic system was last inspected in 2015 and was given a high-age rating at that time. Township staff have asked that a septic re-inspection be conducted or the intent for a new septic system be provided by the applicant. Staff have also asked that written verification be provided that the well(s) are in use or proof of wellhead decommissioning be provided from a qualified well driller. These comments related to the well and septic system need to be addressed now or may be considered as conditions on the related Consent file once it is confirmed that the structure is otherwise habitable. For the above reasons, County staff is recommending that a decision on the application be deferred to a later date. Required Zoning By-law Amendment

An amendment to the Zoning By-law is required in order to facilitate the severance. Once issues relating to the status of the dwelling are confirmed, the following amendments to the Township Comprehensive Zoning By-law are proposed. A draft zoning by-law amendment and schedule will be provided by the County staff at a later date.

The proposed retained farm parcel will be rezoned from General Agriculture (AG1) to General Agriculture Special (AG1-25.1) and General Agriculture Special with Holding (AG1-25.1-H1) which prohibits a detached dwelling. A holding provision is proposed on a portion of the retained lands containing high archaeological potential given their proximity to a

of 57

watercourse southeast of the property. Site alteration and development on those lands is not permitted until an Archaeological Assessment has been prepared and accepted into the Ontario Public Register of Archaeological Reports and it has been confirmed that any recommendations of the assessment (if any) have been implemented. Regular farm practices can continue on those lands.

The proposed severed non-farm parcel will be rezoned from General Agriculture (AG1) to Agricultural Residential Special (AG3-25.2).

Based on the special provisions in the Zoning By-law, both parcels shall be deemed to comply with the minimum lot area and lot frontage provisions of their respective zones. Permitted and legally established existing buildings or structures or driveways shall also be deemed to comply with any applicable zone provisions (e.g., setbacks) as per the Non-Complying Uses provisions of the Zoning By-law. It should be noted that the existing drive shed will be removed, and grain bin(s) relocated to comply with the Zoning By-law provisions.

The Environmental Protection (EP) zone will remain unchanged.

Agency Comments:

Township of Huron-Kinloss:

1. The Township requests that the Owner provide written verification to the Clerk of septic re-inspection or intent for a new septic system for both the severed and retained parcel.

2. The Township requests that the Owner provide written verification to the Clerk that the wells are in use or proof of wellhead decommissioning be provided from a qualified well driller.

Comment: Comments 1 and 2 can be addressed now or as conditions on the Consent application (File B-2021-036). However, based on subsequent conversations between the County and Township staff, it has been determined that the current single detached dwelling is in need of repair. It is unknown at this time the extent of work that needs to be done to bring it to a habitable state per the Ontario Building Code. As such, it is recommended that a decision on the planning applications be deferred to a later date to allow time to address this comment. Hydro One Networks Inc.: No comments or concerns at this time. This preliminary review considers issues affecting Hydro One’s 'High Voltage Facilities and Corridor Lands' only. For proposals affecting 'Low Voltage Distribution Facilities’, the applicant must consult the local area Distribution Supplier.

Rick Management Official (Source Water): The Risk Management Official at the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority reviewed the proposed application as it relates to drinking water source protection and the Clean Water Act. The subject property is located within zone D of the Wellhead Protection Area (WHPA-D) for the Murdock Glen Municipal Drinking Water Supply, as identified in the Saugeen Source Protection Plan (SPP). Zone D is the 25-year time-of-travel delineated for the Murdock Glen well. There are no binding SPP policies or restrictions related to properties in WHPA-D; the subject land is not identified as ‘Restricted Land Use’ so a Notice under section 59 of the Clean Water Act is not required for this application. The policies of the SPP regulate activities in order to protect sources of municipal drinking water. While the local Source Protection Plan does not contain binding policies that address activities in WHPA Zone D, these areas are still considered vulnerable, and it is important to protect them. This can be accomplished using best management practices. Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board: No comments. B.M. Ross and Associates Limited for the Township of Huron-Kinloss (attached): No objections. Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority (attached): The proposed application is acceptable.

Attention: Candace Hamm

Dear Ms. Hamm

Re: File: B-2021-036, Z-2021-029 952 Highway 21 Con 9 W PT Lot 34 Pt Lot 35 Farrell, Ross (Owner) Township of Huron-Kinloss (Geographic Township of Huron)

We received the above mentioned “Request for Agency Comment” on July 13, 2021. As the Township of Huron-Kinloss’ agent for administration of the Ontario Building Code (OBC), Part 8, Sewage Systems we appreciate the opportunity to comment on this application.

The application was submitted to facilitate severance of a surplus farm dwelling from a 63.82 ha parcel at 952 Highway 21. The application also requires an amendment to the Zoning By-Law to rezone the severed and retained lots.

The application has been reviewed by OBC Part 8 Inspector Dave Bell (BCIN# 34600). We note that the septic system was inspected in 2015. The system was given a High-Age rating at the time. Currently the system is noted as being abandoned. The proposed severance has sufficient space to accommodate the existing septic system, or a new system if required, and the required setbacks.

We have no objections to this proposal.

Yours very truly

B. M. ROSS AND ASSOCIATES LIMITED

952 Highway 21 West Part Lot 34 Part Lot 35 Concession 9 Roll Number: 410716000304100 Geographic Township of Huron Township of Huron-Kinloss

Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority (SVCA) staff has reviewed the above-noted applications as per our delegated responsibility from the Province to represent provincial interests regarding natural hazards identified in Section 3.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS, 2020) and as a regulatory authority under Ontario Regulation 169/06 (SVCA’s Development, Interference with Wetlands, and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation). SVCA staff has also provided comments as per our Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), dated September 2019, with the County of Bruce representing natural hazards, natural heritage, and water resources; and the applications have also been reviewed through our role as a public body under the Planning Act as per our Conservation Authority Member approved Environmental Planning and Regulations Policies Manual, amended October 16, 2018. Purpose The purpose of this applications are to permit a surplus farm dwelling severance of a +/-0.79 hectare (ha) lot from a 63.82 ha agricultural parcel. An amendment to the Zoning By-Law is required to facilitate the severance. Recommendation The proposed applications are acceptable to SVCA staff. Delegated Responsibility and Advisory Comments SVCA staff has reviewed the applications through our delegated responsibility from the Province to represent provincial interests regarding natural hazards identified in Section 3.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS, 2020). We have also reviewed the applications through our responsibilities as a service provider to the County of Bruce in that we provide expert advice and technical clearance on Planning Act applications with regards

of 57

County of Bruce Planning & Development Department Z-2021-029 and B-2021-036 (Farrell)July 25, 2021Page 2 of 4

to natural hazards, natural heritage, and water resources as set out in the PPS, 2020, County Official Plan (OP) and/or local official plans. Comments below only include features/technical requirements affecting the property.

Natural Hazards:

The natural hazard features affecting the property include any flood and erosion hazards of the closed/tiled drains that cross the property. It is SVCA staff’s opinion that the Hazard Lands Area designation as shown on Schedule A to the Bruce County OP and the Environmental Protection (EP) zone as shown in the Huron-Kinloss Zoning By-law, generally coincides with SVCA Hazard Lands as historically mapped by the SVCA for the property.

Provincial Policy Statement – Section 3.1

Section 3.1 of the PPS, 2020 states in part that development shall generally be directed to areas outside of: b) hazardous lands adjacent to river, stream and small inland lake systems which are impacted by flooding and erosion hazards; and c) hazardous sites. It is the opinion of SVCA staff that the applications comply with Section 3.1. of the PPS, 2020.

County of Bruce OP Policies

Section 5.8 of the County of Bruce OP generally directs development to be located outside of Hazardous Land Area. It is the opinion of SVCA staff that the applications comply with the natural hazard policies of the Bruce County OP.

Natural Heritage:

It is the opinion of SVCA staff that the significant natural heritage features affecting the property are potentially fish habitat, and habitat of endangered species and threatened species.

Provincial Policy Statement – Section 2.1

Section 2.1 of the PPS, 2020 states in part that development shall not be permitted in fish habitat and its adjacent lands, and habitat of endangered species and threatened species, and the adjacent lands to the above referenced features, except in accordance with the specified policies found in Section 2.1.

Bruce County OP Policies

Potential Fish Habitat and its Adjacent Lands Two closed/tiled drains, namely: part of Harrison Drain, and an unnamed drain appear to cross the property. These drains are tributaries of Royal Oak Creek (also part of Royal Oak Creek Drain). Royal Oak Creek is considered fish habitat by SVCA staff, and the drains may be considered by SVCA staff, to be contributary to fish habitat. Section 4.3 of the Bruce County OP generally prohibits development within fish habitat and its adjacent lands, except in accordance with applicable policies. SVCA staff are of the opinion that the negative impacts to potential fish habitat and its adjacent lands as a result of the applications will be negligible, and SVCA staff are not recommending the preparation of an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) to address potential fish habitat at this time.

of 57

County of Bruce Planning & Development Department Z-2021-029 and B-2021-036 (Farrell)July 25, 2021Page 3 of 4

Habitat of Endangered Species and Threatened Species Although not mapped in the Bruce County OP, it has come to the attention of SVCA staff that habitat of endangered species and threatened species may be located on and/or on lands adjacent to the properties. Section 4.3.2.7 of the Bruce County OP states in part that development will not be permitted within habitat of endangered species and threatened species, and their adjacent lands. It is the role of the SVCA to identify habitat of endangered species and threatened species through a screening process in consideration of the PPS, 2020 and local policies, however it is the responsibility of the owner/applicant to ensure the endangered species and threatened species policy referred to in the PPS, 2020 has been appropriately addressed. Please contact the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) for information on how to address this policy. MECP inquiries can be addressed to [email protected].

Statutory Comments

SVCA staff has reviewed the applications as per our responsibilities as a regulatory authority under Ontario Regulation 169/06 (SVCA’s Development, Interference with Wetlands, and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation). This regulation, made under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act, enables SVCA to regulate development in or adjacent to river or stream valleys, Great Lakes and inland lake shorelines, watercourses, hazardous lands and wetlands. Subject to the CA Act, development taking place on or adjacent to these lands may require permission from SVCA to confirm that the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land are not affected. SVCA also regulates the alteration to or interference in any way with a watercourse or wetland.

Small areas of the property, associated with the closed/tiled drains are within the SVCA Approximate Screening Area associated with Ontario Regulation 169/06. As such, development and/or site alteration within the SVCA Approximate Screening Area may require permission from SVCA, prior to carrying out the work. For the property, the SVCA Approximate Screening Area includes the largest extent of the natural hazard features: watercourses/drains, and any floodplains, plus an offset distance from these features of 15 metres outwards from a floodplain and/or the stable valley offset from the watercourse.

“Development” as defined under the Conservation Authorities Act means:

a) the construction, reconstruction, erection or placing of a building or structure of any kind;b) any change to a building or structure that would have the effect of altering the use or potential use of the

building or structure, increasing the size of the building or structure or increasing the number of dwellingunits in the building or structure;

c) site grading; or,d) the temporary or permanent placing, dumping or removal of any material, originating on the site or

elsewhere.And;

“Alteration” as per Section 5 of Ontario Regulation 169/06 generally includes the straightening, diverting or interference in any way with a river, creek, stream or watercourse, or the changing or interfering in any way with a wetland.

To determine where the SVCA Approximate Screening Area is located associated with our Regulation on the property, please refer to the SVCA’s online mapping program, available via the SVCA’s website at http://eprweb.svca.on.ca.

Site plan

Variance - Letter of Application - #952 Highway 21, Ripley

Dear Mr. Matt Farrell

I and Mr. Ross Farrell would like to keep the setback that was submitted with the site plan. Our

reasoning being, that Mr. Ross plans on taking down the drive shed and move the silo infringing on the

20m setback, to a foundation which has already been poured. Moving the silo to the aforementioned

foundation would fulfill the 20m setback requested by you, the Chief Building Official. Ross plans on

having all of this completed by the end of the year.

In addition to these reasons, the water supply for the house is located on the North side of the garage

which we would require to run a fresh water supply to the house located on the property. Thank you

very much for your time, it is greatly appreciated as my wife and l are very much Iooking forward to

restoring the house back to its former glory and making it a home for us and our daughter for many

years to come.

Best regards,

Phil Dodds
