LOCATION: West Elgin Municipal Building 22413 Hoskins Line north of the Village of Rodney.
PURPOSE: To consider a proposed amendment to the Zoning By -law for the purposes of disposing a
surplus farm dwelling.
The proposed amendment would change the zoning of the lands lying on the south side of Talbot Line (County
Road No. 3) west of the Hamlet of Eagle from the Agricultural (A1) Zone to a 'site specific' Rural Residential
Three (RR3 Zone and to a 'site specific' Agricultural (A14) Zone. The amendment would also fulfill a
condition imposed by the County of Elgin Land Division Committee in granting Application for Consent E62111 to
dispose the surplus farm dwelling situated on the lands.
The lands proposed to be rezoned 'site- specific' Rural Residential Three (RR3 comprise an area of 4,499
square metres (1 ac), a frontage of 54 metres (177 ft) and a depth of 85 metres (279 ft). The parcel is occupied by
a single unit dwelling (erected 1930), shed, storage barn, outbuildings and garage. No change in use is proposed.
The 'site specific' (i.e. RR3 zoning would permit the creation of a lot greater than the maximum lot area
requirement (4,000 sq m) of the RR3 zone. All other requirements are capable of being satisfied. Permitted uses
of the RR3 zone include a single unit detached dwelling, home occupation and an accessory use.
The lands proposed to be rezoned 'site specific' Agricultural (A1-#) comprise an area of 30.6 hectares (75.6 ac),
a frontage of 94 metres (308 ft) on Talbot Line and a frontage of 165 metres (541 ft) on Graham Road. The parcel
is occupied by a single unit dwelling (erected 1993) located in a woodlot in the southerly portion of the farm, and
the balance of lands has been cleared for agricultural purposes. No change in use is proposed. The `site specific'
(i.e. A1-#) zoning would prohibit any further dwellings on the lands as stipulated by the PPS and the Municipality
of West Elgin Official Plan.
The subject lands are designated 'Agricultural' in the Municipality of West Elgin Official Plan.
ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and /or make a written or verbal representation either in support of, or in opposition to, the
proposed amendment. IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY that files an appeal of a decision of the Council of the Corporation of the
Municipality of West Elgin in respect of the proposed zoning by -law does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written
submissions to the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of West Elgin before the proposed zoning by -law is adopted, the Ontario
Municipal Board may dismiss all or part of the appeal. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION relating to the proposed amendment is available
between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. at the Municipal Office or from the Municipal Planner, Mr. Ted Halwa. at (519) 963-1028 (London, Ontario).
THE information and material required under Sections 34(10.1) and 34(10.2) of the Planning Act have been provided and this shall serve as
sufficient notice of same under Section 34 (10.4) of the Act.

SUBJ: Application for a Minor Variance: Anne Ossel (Frank Machan, Agent), A- 312011
Part of Lot 7, Concession Vii) south side of Downie Line east of Furnival Road (County
Road No. 103)
to permit the use of lands for the sale and display of motorized golf carts, garden tractors and
related parts and accessories;
the golf carts and garden tractors would be confined to a fenced -in compound on Downie Line
adjacent to existing farm buildings situated on the parcel (Figure 1). All machines not on display
would be stored in an existing implement shed. The number of machines on display or in storage at
any given time would range between 50 —100 units;
permission is being sought to sell and display the golf carts, garden tractors (up to 35 hp) and
related parts and accessories from the defined area and operating under the name `Classic Carts'.
According to Mr. Machan, agent for the owner, the business has been conducted on the lands for
the past four years apparently under the assumption that it was permitted by the Zoning By -law;
the golf carts and garden tractors had, until recently, been displayed outdoors both in the front yard
of the abutting residential lot (12678 Fumival Road) also owned by the owner as well as in the
abutting road allowance. In August 2011, the owner was advised that the use was not a permitted
use in the Zoning By -law and suggesting that either the use cease or application is made for a
minor variance. The machines have now been, more or less, removed from this much more visible
location to the new site being proposed on the subject lands as shown on Figure 1.

2. SITE CHARACTERISTICS (Figure 1)
the subject lands comprise part of a 24.8 hectare (61.2 acres) parcel with a frontage of 547 metres
(1,795 ft) on Downie Line. The parcel is occupied by an implement storage shed and three grain
silos and has been extensively cleared for agricultural purposes. The owner, Anne Ossel,
purchased the lands in 1973. She resides at 12678 Furnival Road on an abutting residential lot
immediately to the west of the subject lands;
neighbouring lands comprise a mix of agricultural, rural residential and commercial uses.
Commercial uses which are clustered at the intersection of Downie Line and Furnival Road include
a public garage (Moore), the sale of used cars and trailers (In The Hunt' Liddy), a service
station/convenience store (Cross Roads' Varga) and a bed and breakfast establishment (Lion's
Gate);

#0008/2084
under the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS), the lands on which the use is proposed (and
currently is) to be established lies within a 'prime agricultural area'. Secondary uses are permitted
which are limited in scale and are compatible with do not hinder surrounding agricultural operations;
the subject lands are designated, for the most part, 'Agricultural' in the West Elgin Official Plan.
Secondary uses are permitted under criteria similar to the PPS. It is arguable that the lands on
which the use is proposed to be established is, in fact, designated 'Rural Residential'. Secondary
uses in the form of home occupations are permitted;
applications for minor variances under the Official Plan are to be evaluated in accordance with the
following:
a) whether the variance is `minor,
b) whether the general intent and purpose of this Plan is maintained,
c) whether with the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By -law are maintained,

d) whether the variance is desirable for the appropriate use and development of the
lands and neighbouring lands,
e) whether compliance with the Zoning By- -law would be unreasonable, undesirable
or would impose undue hardship, and
t) whether the variance would result in a substantial detriment, hazard or nuisance
that would detract from enjoyment, character or use of neighbouring lands.
In granting applications for minor variances, conditions may be imposed where the
Committee deems it advisable to ensure the intent of the above -noted criteria are
satisfied or will be satisfied. (Section 10.5.7)
#0008/2084
in this instance, the proposed use is relatively large in scale being comprised of the display and
storage of up to 100 golf carts and garden tractors. While the loss of agricultural land is not
significant and agricultural operations would not appear to be potentially hindered by it, the scale
and nature of the use goes well beyond what a secondary use or home occupation is intended to
be;
the intent of the Official Plan with respect to commercial uses of this nature is that they be located
in commercially- designated areas on sites zoned for these purposes. There are a number of such
sites available both in the core area of Rodney and in the south end of Rodney which would be
potentially suitable to accommodate the use. Use of these vacant, underutilized sites is
encouraged to promote healthy and vibrant commercial areas and particularly, the downtown core
the revitalization and sustainability of which is the major focus of a recently adopted community
improvement plan for the town centres of Rodney and West Lome;
the subject lands are zoned Agricultural (Al). Permitted uses include an agricultural use, bed and
breakfast establishment, home occupation, riding school, the sale of farm supplies and a single
unit detached dwelling. The sale and display of golf carts and garden tractors is not permitted
(which is why the subject application is necessary) nor is it similar to any of the uses permitted in
the Al zone. The intent of the By -law is to ensure that commercial uses (particularly non
agriculturally related ones) permitted in rural areas are small in scale and unobtrusive (out of sight)
and that larger scale, non agriculturally related uses are directed elsewhere;
while it is acknowledged that the proposed site for the use would be much better organized and

contained than the previous site at the comer of Fumival Road and Downie Line, it would not be as
visible and as customer friendly compared with alternative sites that already exist in Rodney.

SUBJ: Public Meeting October 27 2011 Amendment to the Zoning By -law Hollanada
Farms Ltd. 25143 Talbot Line
The above referenced public meeting is to consider a proposed amendment to the Township of
Aldborough Zoning By -law with respect to the abovenoted lands. An Application for Re- zoning has been
filed by the owner of the lands, Hollanada Farms Ltd., in partial fulfillment of conditions applied in the
granting of Application for Consent (E62111) by the County of Elgin Land Division Committee on 11
August 2011 for the purposes of creating a lot to dispose a surplus farm dwelling. Council previously
considered and endorsed the proposed severance at the pre application stage.
The subject lands are situated on the south side of Talbot Line (County Road No. 3) west of the Hamlet of
Eagle. The proposed change the zoning is from Agricultural (Al) to 'site specific' Rural Residential Three
(RR3 -19) and to 'site- specific' Agricultural (A1 -78).
The lands proposed to be rezoned to 'site specific' Rural Residential Three (RR3 -19) comprise the lot on
which is situated the surplus farm dwelling. The parcel satisfies the minimum lot area and minimum lot
frontage requirements (1,850 sq m 30 m respectively) of the RR3 zone but exceeds the maximum lot
area requirement of 4,000 sq m. A 'site- specific' (RR3 -19) zoning is proposed to permit this deficiency.
The lands proposed to be rezoned 'site- specific' Agricultural (A1 -78) comprise the balance of the farm,
The parcel satisfies the minimum lot area and minimum lot frontage requirements of the Al zone. The
'site- specific' zoning prohibits an additional dwelling being erected on the lands as stipulated by the
Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) and the Municipality of West Elgin Official Plan.

depth of 162 metres (531 ft) and an area of 5,500 square metres (1.4 ac). The parcel is without
buildings or structures and is maintained as public landscaped open space by the Municipality and
the West Lorne and Community Horticultural Society. No change in use is proposed.
2. Provincial Policv Statement (PPS) and Official Plan
under the Provincial Policy Statement, minor boundary adjustments in settlement areas are not
specifically addressed, although it would be reasonable to assume that given these types of
severances are permitted in prime agricultural areas, the intent of the PPS would not be
compromised. On this basis, the proposed severance would be consistent with the PPS;

the subject lands are situated within the designated 'Village' of West Lorne in the West Elgin
Official Plan, being situated at the interface of lands designated 'Industrial' and lands designated
`Residential'. Consents for the purposes of conveying additional lands to an adjacent lot are
permitted provided:
a) the conveyance does not lead to the creation of an undersized, irregularly
shaped lot(s) unsuited to the purpose for which it is being used or proposed to
be used, or contrary to the provisions of the Zoning By -law unless the Bylaw is
otherwise amended or a variance granted;
b) the lands being conveyed are registered in the same name and title as the lands
to which they are being added; and
c) it is stipulated in the granting of the severance that any subsequent conveyance
or transaction will require a future severance (Section 10.4.2)
the enlarged lot, which is already somewhat irregular in shape, would not have any apparent
adverse impacts on neighbouring industrial and residential uses. The conveyance is intended to
rectify a long- existing encroachment of various buildings and structures owned by Erie Flooring
Wood Products onto lands formerly owned by the CN railway and now owned by Orford Sand
Gravel Limited;
with respect to item b) and item c) above, these matters are appropriately addressed as conditions
of consent, if granted. Conformity with the Official Plan is capable of being maintained.
3. Zoning By -law
!!000812086
the lands being conveyed are zoned, for the most part, General Industrial (M1) in the Village of
West Lorne Zoning By -law consistent with the M1 zoning which applies to the lands they are
being added to (Erie Flooring Wood). The westerly portion of the lands being conveyed is zoned
Agricultural (Al) In the Township of Aldborough Zoning By -law. While it would normally be the case
to require a change in zoning (thereby avoiding more than one zone applying to a property), in this
instance proper zoning is capable of being instituted as part of the preparation of the new
comprehensive Zoning By -law;
Orford Sand Gravel Ltd Proposed Severance
Municipality of West Elgin

page 3
the lands being retained are zoned Open Space (OS) in the Village of West Lorne Zoning By -law.
There are no minimum lot area or minimum lot frontage requirements in the OS zone. No change in
use is proposed and a change in zoning is, therefore, not required.
4. Conclusions
the proposed conveyance is considered appropriate and in conformity with the relevant sections of
the West Elgin Official Plan.
5. RECOMMENDATION
#0008/2086
That the proposed consent by Orford Sand Gravel Limited be granted subject to the following
conditions and the Elgin Land Division Committee advised accordingly:
a) That the lands being conveyed are merged in the same name and title as the lands to which
they are being added;
b) That Section 50(3) of the Planning Act, R.S.O., 1990, as amended, shall apply to any future
transactions or conveyances on the subject lands.
REASONS
1) Consistency with the Provincial Policy Statement would be maintained;
ii) Conformity with the West Elgin Official Plan would be maintained;
iii) The requirements of the Zoning By -law are capable of being satisfied;
iv) The matters set out in the Planning Act would be satisfied.

SUBJ: Proposed Severance Donna Roelofs Mark Gasparatto 20137 Johnston Line
part of Lot A Concession 111— east side of Clachan Road south of Johnston Line (County
Road No. 6)
to sever a large parcel comprising a former gravel pit and agricultural land into two separate
parcels, merging one of them in title with an abutting undersized agricultural parcel under different
ownership;
the lands proposed to be conveyed have an area of 44.5 hectares (110 acres), a frontage of 619.6
metres (2,033 ft) on McLean Line and flankage of 623.7 metres (2,046 ft) on Clachan Road. The
parcel, which is devoid of buildings or structures, is proposed to be added (merged in name and
tide) to an abutting undersized agricultural parcel owned by Larry Miller (21499 Clachan Road) and
occupied by two large livestock barns and a number of inground manure tanks;
if the consent is granted, the parcel would be increased in size from 3.2 hectares (8.0 acres) to
47.8 hectares (118 acres) and In frontage from 236 metres (774 ft) to 860 metres (2,822 ft). The
use of the parcel for agricultural purposes would not change;
the lands proposed to be retained have an area of 32.4 hectares (80 acres), a frontage of 410
metres (1,345 ft) on Clachan Road and 568.6 metres (1,865 ft) on Johnston Line (County Road No.
6). The parcel is occupied by a single unit dwelling (20137 Johnston Line), being the residence of
the owners, and comprises a former gravel pit now characterized by large areas of open water. The
license for the pit, being the former Johnston Brothers "Colquhoun Pit", was recently surrendered'
to the Ministry of Natural Resources.

2. Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) and Official Plan
#0008/2102
under the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS), the creation of lots in areas adjacent to or in known
deposits of mineral aggregate resources which would preclude or hinder the establishment of new
operations or access to the resource may only be permitted under certain specified circumstances
(Section 2.5.2.5). The mineral aggregate deposit on the lands being retained has been extracted
and the license for extraction surrendered. What is known to exist on the lands being conveyed is
evidently not commercially viable to extract. In any event, the severance if granted would not
preclude extraction in the future should the resource become viable to extract nor would it
adversely affect any future extraction on adjacent lands. The proposed severance is considered to
be consistent with the PPS;
the subject lands are designated, for the most part, `Aggregate Resources' in the West Elgin
Official Plan. A small portion situated in the northwest comer of the parcel lies in the designated
'Hamlet of Clachan. The following policy is relevant
3. Zoning By-law
The creation of new lots, including the creation of lots to dispose surplus farm dwellings in
accordance with this Plan, or the alteration of existing lots which would have the effect of
compromising an existing or potential extractive operation shall not be permitted (Section
6.6.4)
the severance, if granted, would separate agricultural land from non agricultural land into different
ownerships. In addition, the consolidation of an undersized agricultural parcel with a larger
agricultural parcel would result and in the process establish a substantially larger land base for the
existing livestock facilities on the undersized parcel. Any existing or potential extractive operation
on the subject lands or neighbouring lands would not be compromised. Conformity with the Official
Plan would be maintained.
the lands being conveyed are zoned Extractive Industrial (M3) while the undersized agricultural
parcel they are being added to are zoned Agricultural (Al). Rezoning the lands being conveyed to
D. Roelofs 8 M. Gasparatto- Proposed Severance

page 3
Al consistent with the zoning which applies to the lands they are being added to would be
desirable but not necessary to maintain compliance with the Zoning By -law. Agricultural uses are a
permitted use in the M3 zone;
the lands being retained are zoned Extractive Industrial (M3) with the exception of a small portion
lying within the hamlet boundary and fronting onto Johnston Line which is zoned Hamlet
Residential Holding (HR -H). A proposal to create six residential lots in this area has yet to
materialize. A change in zoning is not required to maintain compliance with the Zoning By -law,
however, it may be worth giving consideration to in the preparation of the new Zoning By -law given
the aggregate resource has been extracted.
4. Conclusions
the proposed severance of a large parcel designated, for the most part, `Aggregate Resources'
into two smaller parcels would not compromise any existing or future aggregate extraction on the
lands or on neighbouring lands and, in the process, would eliminate an undersized agricultural
parcel is considered both appropriate and desirable.
5. RECOMMENDATION
That the proposed consent by Donna Roelofs Mark Gasparatto be supported subject to the
following conditions and the Elgin Land Division Committee advised accordingly:
a) That the lands being conveyed are merged in the same name and title as the lands to which
they are being added;
b) That Section 50(3) of the Planning Act. R.S.O., 199Q, as amended, shall apply to any future
transactions or conveyances on the subject lands.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Members of Council
Municipality of West Elgin
RE: Well Water Policy Municipality of West Elgin
#000812103
Under the new West Elgin Official Plan, the creation of residential building lots in the 'Lakeshore Area' is
governed by the following policy with respect to the provision of a water supply and disposal of sanitary
waste:
The proponent shall undertake the necessary studies and prepare the necessary plans to determine
how water supply and sanitary sewage disposal are best provided taking into account land use,
environmental considerations, financial feasibility, ownership and operating responsibilities and
related factors. The studies may include hydro geological, soils and/or other appropriate technical
reports to determine the suitability of servicing the lands for development. [Section 7.10 t}].
While the above -note policy is appropriate for large scale development and multi-unit developments, it is
onerous in instances where a limited number of building lots are being proposed. Based on two recent
proposals i.e. Quintyn, Bianco), a more scoped policy would be desirable as to the specific requirements of
the Municipality, particularly as it relates to the provision of water where a municipal water supply is not
otherwise available. Such a policy would assist owners in knowing exactly what is required and when it is
required. It would also assist the Clerk in knowing what information or proof is required before a
determination can be made that a corresponding condition of consent has been satisfied and that the Land
Division Committee can be advised accordingly. The policy could also extend to the creation of residential
building lots in areas designated 'Rural Residential' and 'Hamlet' where a municipal water supply is similarly
not available.
In the case of Quintyn (part of Lot 9 and Lot 10, Con XIV), a series of consents were granted to create a total
of 5 building Tots. The decision of the Land Division Committee, acting on input received from the
Municipality, included the following condition:
Well Water Policy— Creation of New Residential Lots
Municipality of West Elgin
221 October 2011
page 2
Oanners Inc
#0008/2103
Subject to the provision of an adequate and potable water supply to the satisfaction of the
Municipality.
A report prepared by McCoII Ltd. on behalf of the owners expressed the opinion that on the basis of soil tests
undertaken for on site sanitary waste disposal purposes, shallow wells may be feasible although they would
be subject to warm, dry weather conditions. Drilled wells were suggested as an option. No definitive
information was provided (or otherwise available) on the adequacy or quality of groundwater to service the 5
lots being created.
In the case of Bianco (part of Lot 11, Con XIV) where consents were applied for and granted to create two
residential building Tots, a similar condition was imposed by the Land Division Committee acting on the
request of the Municipality. Mr. Bianco has been advised that in the previous similar case (Le. Quintyn), a
letter /report from a well driller was ultimately accepted.
In the absence, however, of digging or drilling a well and undertaking the appropriate testing for flow and
quality, it is speculative to make a conclusive statement on the adequacy and potability of an on -site well to
service a residential building lot. The cost, nevertheless, of undertaking such actions is not inexpensive and
usually leads to resistance by owners. On the other hand, if creation of the lot occurs first and the issue of a
water supply left to the time of building on the lot, the problem of an inadequate supply of water becomes
more difficult to resolve. This, in tum, may lead to allegations that the lot should not have been created in the
first instance and the Municipality becoming reluctantly involved to resolve the issue which may have
significant financial implications.
Unlike a Certificate of Approval issued under the Ontario Building Code Act required prior to the installation of
a private sanitary waste disposal system, there is no similar approval authority for a private water supply.
Thus, a building permit is capable of being issued for a dwelling without assurances of an adequate and
potable water supply, thereby potentially further compounding the problem.
To ensure that building lots are not created without a determination as to whether they are capable of being
adequately supplied with a domestic supply of water, it would be necessary that firstly, testing be undertaken
before permission is given to register a lot created by consent and secondly, parameters or performance
standards be applied as a measure of adequacy and potability. Guidelines in this regard are available from
the Ministry of Environment and Ontario Public Health.
Well Water Policy— Creation of New Residential Lots
Municipality of West Elgin
2d October 2011
page 3
Recommendation: The authorization be given to the Planner in consultation with the Administration to
develop a draft policy along with performance standards to apply to the creation of building lots in the
Municipality where no municipal water supply is available and reliance on groundwater supplies is necessary
and that the draft policy be presented to Council at a subsequent meeting for further consideration.

RE: Site Plan Control Municipality of West EOM
86
#0008/1985
The following report addresses the need for a new site plan control by -law for the Municipality of West Elgin.
A new by -law is necessary to take advantage of changes to the Planning Act with respect to external building
design and the new provisions on site plan control in the Official Plan of West Elgin. It is also an opportunity
to repeal three, somewhat dated site plan control by -laws of the former municipalities prior to amalgamation
yet still in effect.
development which is subject to site plan control under the Planning Act is defined as:
the construction, erection or placing of one or more buildings or structures on land or the
making of an addition or alteration to a building or structure that has the effect of substantially
increasing the size or usability thereof, or the laying out and establishment of a commercial parking
lot or of sites for the location of three or more trailers as defined in clause (a) of paragraph 101 of
section 210 of the Municipal Act or of sites for the location of three or more mobile homes as defined
in subsection 46 (1) of this Act or of sites for the construction, erection or location of three or more
land lease community homes as defined in subsection 46 (1) of this Act."
site plan control has been applied in the Municipality for a considerable period of time going
back to the late 1980's. It is usually applied to new construction and expansions for multi -unit
residential development, commercial, industrial and institutional development.
the recently approved, West Elgin Official Plan addresses site plan control in Section 10.7.
Key elements include:
Site Plan Control
Municipality of West Elgin
21 October 2011

financial security: amount, form and release;
#019011985
external design: external design features (character, scale, appearance and similar design
features) of proposed buildings or building additions may be required as part of the
plans/drawings submitted for approval;
public input: unless the proposed development is considered minor or without the potential
for significant adverse impact on neighbouring properties adjacent land owners would be
given the opportunity to review and comment on the site plan approval;
-site plan guidelines: the option for the Municipality to prepare a set of guidelines to assist
proponents with the site plan approval process is provided.
3. Site Plan Control By -law
A new site plan control by -law should address at least the following:
delegation of authority: The provisions of the Plannina Act allow for delegation of site plan
control to an appointed officer of the municipality. A degree of delegation would expedite the
approval process and eliminate the need to return to Council for relatively minor change.
Where areas or matters of disagreement are not capable of being resolved or where there is
significant public interest, Council would assume a more active role in the process;
exemptions: exemptions would be provided for specific types or scale of development such
as single unit detached dwellings, two unit dwellings (e.g. semi detached), accessory
buildings and structures to one and two unit dwellings, farm buildings and structures,
expansions/additions to buildings <25% of floor area and accessory buildings to non-
residential buildings;
extemal design features: a requirement of any drawings submitted for site plan approval
would be the inclusion /detailing of external design features of the proposed building;

public input: a requirement would be included for public input where public or
neighbourhood interest has been expressed or is anticipated. Public meetings are
increasingly common practice in other municipalities. In such instances, the Clerk would
notify the public of the meeting and the applicant would be requested to attend and present
his proposal. There are, however, no provisions for appeal by the under the Planning Act.

West Elgin is in serious need of more tax dollars and residents......residents to keep at bay the powers to
be who define the numbers required for schools, medical facilities and other necessities of life......tax
dollars to pay for those requirements.
Tax dollars generated by industry always have negative issues but, hopefully, more positive issues to
offset those other details.
The industrial development proposed for Port Glasgow has those positive requirements. It has been
promised to be environmentally friendly, will bring more tax paying residents and will provide
interesting activities to be enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.
We have a few delightful B &Bs here but additional housing for guests would bring more people able to
spend more time right to the doors of all businesses. Sports teams and their families able to stay over
will bring more tournaments to our arenas and playing fields and provide better competition for our
own athletes.
For the visitors who arrive by boat they will have entertainment, shopping and restaurants to enjoy.
That alone should help make Port Glasgow the port to visit. The potential is as positive as our
imaginations.
To the naysayers at our marina all of our tax dollars support all aspects of the marina. I have never
seen, nor have any desire to see, the agreement between Municipal Council and marina executive.
However, if that is detrimental to the future of this proposed development, perhaps some alterations to
the agreement are necessary.
I urge Municipal Council to put out every effort possible to support and assist the development
proposed by Seaside Waterfronts.
Respectfully submitted

I question why the southeast corner site was chosen for initial development. It appears to be the very
least desirable from a cost standpoint and least accessible since it is on the slope of a steep hill, it faces
west rather than to the lake, it abuts the Marina in an area that would cause the greatest congestion,
with sewage beds, also on a steep angle, emptying into the marina. I suggest that clearance from the
appropriate ministries should be mandatory before any zoning amendment for this area is even
considered.
The amendment reduces the front 15 metre setback from the only access road down to zero, which
would add heavily to the congestion and further restrict entry to the public lands and marina. The back
setback would be reduced from 7.5 metres to 3.5. The changes would increase the developer's holdings
with no benefit whatever to the community.
To paraphrase the developer's own words; "If a business is worthy, people will come regardless of its
location." The most accessible area and the most desirable, would be the land adjoining the 14
concession. Not only does it offer wide access from two roads, it is on level ground, would have far
less maintenance and has the potential for year -round use. To date, no zoning changes have been
considered for this or for the overall area.
One of the first rules of business is to protect the assets you already have. The marina and the adjoining
public lands exceed the value of the areas purchased by the developer by a significant margin. They
attract thousands of visitors and generate considerable revenues that are re- invested in facilities that
benefit everyone in the community. Few would be against private development in Port Glasgow, but
everyone should question how it is being done and why after a 4 year period, no overall zoning plan
exists, no hole has been dug and no brick has been placed on another.
For alI the above reasons, I am against the zoning proposal. Since the lake front is effectively
surrounded, I believe council should move towards providing as wide an access as possible around the
access route, restrict by legal means the sale of public lands to developers by this and future councils,
and ensure by judicious zoning, that no private action is taken that would diminish or have the potential
to diminish the value of the public lands or the marina.

Comments for Municipality of West Elgin:
I congratulate West Elgin for attracting Seaside Development.
Although I am not a resident of West Elgin, I attended the public meeting on Sept 29
as a 'local' business owner of Country Seat Upholstery Studio for over 22 years.
My concern with local vitality is evident by my active participation in MPoWER
(Marketing Partners of Western Elgin Region) and as a Director with the
Dutton /Dunwich Chamber of Commerce.
I look forward to, what I hope to be, the advent of the Seaside Development at Port
Glasgow.
It is my opinion that the proposed development will complement and enhance the
tourism and economic growth through the entire Western Elgin Region.
It has been said "build it and they will come the rest of the expression should say
"The entire community will prosper".
I eagerly await the next public meeting.

The West Elgin Nature Club would like to address some of its concerns regarding Seaside Development's
desire to acquire surplus land along Havens Lake Road and any commercial building that it plans to
construct along this road. Various studies such as natural heritage resources and features should be
reviewed prior to any rezoning along with measures for their protection and preservation. A proper
environmental review should be done also.
The West Elgin Nature Club objects to any septic bed construction within the lands of the area to be
rezoned due to the proximity of the lake and the marina. The development of any and all building
should occur once a sewage treatment plant is operational!!
At this time it has been ascertained that at least three species which are on the Federal Species at Risk
Act are going to be impacted by the development in the rezoning area. An Eastern Fox snake was found
on Douglas Line in Port Glasgow in 2011. It is possible that the hibernacula are on this site. Chimney
swifts have been seen in this area and may nest in existing dead trees. A Butternut tree has been found
in the rezone area. It is also possible that Fowler's toads and several species of endangered turtles
inhabit this area.
Proper studies for the drainage and release of storm water must be complete. A simplistic basin system
with filtration with the release into the marina and the lake is not adequate.
We must protect our very valuable public lands and Lake Frontage and this would involve a master plan
of the area which hopefully includes some public input. At this time all we have seen is conceptual
planning and that is not sufficient. This rezoning application should be declined. The development
should proceed as a whole once all the studies are reviewed and all issues resolved.

Mr and Mrs Bill Wen reside at Site 234 in the Enchanted Hideaway Park. Mrs Wen has been
in the hospital in St Thomas for the past month. She had an unfortunate accident that resulted in
bones broken in both feet. She has been completely incapacitated during this period. Mr Wen
informed me today he is expecting her home next Tuesday. Mr Wen stated they have Doctor
appointments that take them up to November 10. He requested on his behalf if we would
contact the Municipality to see if a waiver of the By Law at Reference can be obtained.
Mr and Mrs Wen travel South to the United States when the park closes. Their routine has
suffered a setback due to Mrs Wen's condition. We are requesting on their behalf permission for
them to remain in the park until the mid November when Mrs Wen has her last Doctor's
appointment.
If this request is approved. The Wen's are aware they will not be permitted to remain in the park

The Council of the Municipality of Dutton Dunwich reviewed your letter of October 6,
2011 regarding the recent cost estimates for policing. On behalf of Council I would like
to thank you and the Board members for all of the effort you have put forth in an attempt
to reduce the policing costs for all of the member municipalities.
After careful consideration it is the position of Council that they would like to renew the
contract at the present level of service. You will find attached a report that I prepared for
Council's consideration. We do however realize that not all of the member
municipalities may be in the same position regarding the OMPF grant calculations and
the effects may vary from municipality to municipality.
If however the majority of the member municipalities wish to reduce services slightly the
Council will be prepared to accept this decision.
Council did not pass a resolution at this time however we await the decision of the
remaining member municipalities.
If however you have any questions concerning this matter please contact the undersigned.

KL:sc
THE MUNICIPALITY OF DUTTON /DUNWICH
TO: Mayor and Members of Council
FROM: Ken Loveland, Clerk Administrator
DATE: October 11, 2011
SUBJECT: Police Services
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council recommends to the Police Services Board that they enter into a contract
with no cut in police services.
INFORMATION:
You will find attached a copy of a letter we received from Douglas G. Gunn, Chair for
the Elgin Group Police Services Board regarding the new Policing contract.
Although we should express our satisfaction to the board for their efforts to reduce the
costs of the policing for all of the member Municipalities, it is always a difficult decision
to cut services. Although we have been fortunate in our Municipality to have a relatively
low volume of incidents this does not mean this will always continue.
in my opinion we should also not only look at the gross costs for the contract but also the
effect that each reduction would have on our net costs. Our Policing costs are offset by a
portion of the O.M.P.F. grant. This grant subsidizes a portion of our Policing costs. You
will also find attached a summary of the 2011 Policies Services Grant. Of course this
grant is not cast in stone and could be changed by the provincial government.
At present time our 2011 budgeted amount' for Policing is $506,000.00.
2011 Total Budget $506,000.00
Cost per household 331.80
Grant $138,622.00
Net Cost $367,378.00
Policing Costs
No Change in Services
Total Budget $529,620.00
Cost per household 347.30
Grant $150,440.00
Net Cost $379,180.00
Reduction of 1
Officer Total Budget $517,315.00
Cost per household 339.22
Grant $144,280.00
Net Cost $373,035.00
Reduction of 2
Officers Total Budget $505,135.00
Cos per household 331.24
Grant $138,195.00
Net Cost $366,940.00
Reduction of 3.29
Officers
As you can see there would be a net increase of $11,802.00 in our policing costs if we
receive no reduction in service and an increase of $5657.00 if we reduce by one Officer.
If we reduce by 2 Officers the cost would be the some as 2011 and if we reduce by 3.29
Officers we would have a net savings of $8293.00 for the year.
It is important to understand that these costs increases or decreases would vary form
Municipality to Municipality based on the change in percentage of the police budget as
well as the grant eligibility.
It also must be realized that a small portion of this O.M.P.F. Grant may not be received
for as much as two years in the future. One also must consider that a reduction in
Officers may also result in a decrease in charges and a decrease in POA funding.
This calculation does not take into account the reduction in lost grant. If we reduce the
number of Officers our share of the $20,000.00 per Officer would be $1724.00, however
the grant would also be reduced by $862.00 for a net deficit of $862.00 per Officer.
