MAYOR CLERK A- M I N U T E S OF THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF WEST ELGIN PUBLIC MEETING WEST ELGIN COUNCIL CHAMBERS JANUARY 24, 2013 MEMBERS PRESENT: Mayor Bernie Wiehle Councillors: Norm Miller, Dug Aldred, Richard Leatham STAFF PRESENT: Scott Gawley AdministratorlTreasurer Norma Bryant Clerk ALSO IN ATTENDANCE Ted Halwa Planning Consultant SUBJECT: REZONING—PART LOT 7, CONCESSION 2 (MUNICIPALITY OF WEST ELGIN) The Mayor called the meeting to order at 9:30 a.m.. The Clerk informed those present that notice of this meeting had been given under Section 34(12)of the Planning Act first class mail to all assessed owners within 150 metres of the subject property as well as provincial agencies and ministries as prescribed by regulation. Correspondence was received from the Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority which indicated no objection. The proposed amendment would change the zoning of lands lying on the north side of Johnston Line (County Road No. 6) between Blacks Road and Furnival Road, comprising part of Lot 7, Concession ll, from the Agricultural (Al)Zone to the Extractive Industrial (M3)zone. The amendment would permit the establishment of a new gravel pit by the Municipality of West Elgin. The lands proposed to be rezoned Extractive Industrial (M3) comprise an area of 4.2 hectares (10.5 acres), a frontage of 283.6 metres (930 ft) on Johnston Line (County Road No. 6) and an irregular depth. The parcel is without buildings or structures and has been extensively cleared for agricultural purposes. The Municipality of West Elgin is in the process of applying to the Ministry of Natural Resources for a Class B Aggregate License to permit the above-water extraction of aggregate material. The maximum extraction per year would be in the order of 20,000 tonnes. The proposed pit would be situated immediately east of an existing pit owned and operated by the Municipality and licensed in 2002-2003. Permitted uses of the Extractive Industrial (M3) Zone include a pit, wayside pit, agricultural uses and forestry uses. Accessory buildings and structures are permitted provided they are not used for human habitation. The subject lands are designated `Aggregate Resources' in the Township of Aldborough Official Plan.

MAYOR CLERK �a1 MINUTES OF THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF WEST ELGIN PUBLIC MEETING RODNEY LEGION JANUARY 31, 2013 MEMBERS PRESENT: Mayor Bernie Wiehle Councillors: Norm Miller, Dug Aldred, Richard Leatham STAFF PRESENT: Scott Gawley Administrator-Treasurer Norma Bryant Clerk ALSO IN ATTENDANCE: Gary Blazak Planning Consultant SUBJECT: DRAFT PORT GLASGOW SECONDARY PLAN Also in attendance: 119 ratepayers The Mayor called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. The Mayor noted that this meeting was called to provide updated information on the Draft Port Glasgow Secondary Plan. Mr. Blazak will give a presentation on the changes from the November 151h meeting additions to the plan regarding implementation. This secondary plan is being brought forward for Council consideration on February 141h. Mr. Blazak will be in attendance at 11:30 a.m. on February 10'. Mr. Blazak gave a brief history of process to date. He noted that they have taken into account stakeholder and public input. The province has asked us to consider adding policies for implementation. The basic concept hasn't changed. Mr. Blazak presented a PowerPoint presentation. He reviewed the following: • Additional Background Material-sections 3.1.8, 3.1.9, 3.2.8 • revised Policy Sections 4.2.8, 4.2.9, 4.2.11 • New Policy Sections 4.3.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7 • Revised Figure 4 The Mayor opened the meeting for questions: Mike Popovich—why is there a road block with the surplus lands. Seaside needs access to Havens Lake Road for shops. Don't want to see the project fail because of this dispute. Town centre should be on both sides of the road for pedestrian access. The Planner—Seaside has appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board the need for a secondary plan. More detailed framework is needed to review subdivisions which are being provided through the secondary plan; it will used to evaluate future development. Council will be asked to deal with the surplus lands. The plan doesn't show any land on east side. Maintaining and increasing the access to the lake will be by the promenade. Robert White—are the surplus lands considered minor or major? The Planner—west side is shown as developable lands Wendi Dupuis—does the east boundary of the settlement area preclude expansion of my trailer park to the east? Aa January 31113...Pg 2 of 4 The Planner—would be separate Official Plan Amendment if different from current zoning. Bill McIntyre—regarding the mixed land uses on west side—(1)what are the restrictions for size and height? (2)Why restrictions on east side? The Planner— (1) details regarding the size and height will be provided in the draft plan of subdivision and zoning regulations. No specific policies regarding mixed use in the plan, It is anticipated that residential will be above ground floor and commercial on the ground floor. (2) Four reasons as follows: 1.The project planning team concluded there was sufficient commercial development lands provided in the Mixed Land Use category on the west side of HLR,coupled with the Commercial area on the east side of HLR to serve all of the needs of Port Glasgow for the foreseeable future Additional lands for Mixed Use or Commercial development could be added by amendment at a later date, subsequent to future planning studies establishing need,best location and land use configuration. 2. The earliest phases of public participation at meetings and in written submissions established a consistent theme of maintaining a continuous strip of green space along HLR. 3.The largest areas of publically held land are located on the east side of HLR. 4.The most prevalent Natural Heritage features appeared to be situated on the east side of HLR in association with the ravine and other physical features.Environmental Impact Studies have not addressed this issue to the satisfaction of the Province.The establishment of the"Protected Natural Corridor" overlaying the Parks and Open Space land use category on the east side of HLR is intended to protect these Natural Heritage features pending more detailed planning analysis in subsequent planning approval processes. Pam Piccinato -There is no proper downtown if only one side of road. The Planner—there is commercial on the east side at the bottom of hill Pam Piccinato -Do the viewing cones stop building? The Planner— NO Lori Redman— Do we have an Official Plan? Are we putting up roadblocks with the secondary plan? The Planner—There is an Official Plan for the entire municipality but in it there are no specific policies for Port Glasgow. This secondary plan will become part of the Official Plan. Seaside plans did not include promenades and had different development areas. The Mayor—a modification to our Official Plan by the province required a secondary plan. The municipality has paid for this plan. Phil Grant-Why has the municipality not given the land to Seaside? The Mayor--this meeting is about the secondary plan. Nothing in this plan precludes the sale of land, Council will discuss this. John Johnston— I have seen the developer's plan which is different. If the east side remains as public lands, who looks after? Who builds sidewalks and utilities on that side? What will the cost be in 10— 15 years to do this? The Planner—the plan keeps the east side in the natural state. Sidewalks and promenade on west side are built by developer. Nothing precludes constructing utilities on the east side now. Bill McIntyre—if not designated, how can Seaside size the servicing for this plan? Wouldn't it be undersized? The Planner—not necessarily, development on east side would not necessitate oversizing, January 31113...Pg 3 of 4 Wendi Dupuis—Where did the design criteria of 10 metres come from? Roads in provincial parks are only 10 feet wide; suggest at the most promenade should be 12 feet. Duncan McPhail— If east side is open space and what about appeal to OMB, Will the OMB agree with this plan? The Planner— Negotiation usually occurs before a hearing involving the province, municipality and Seaside. Randy Reiss—are you will willing to defend at your own cost? The Planner—I can't presuppose that an OMB hearing will happen. Jim Patterson—why would people donate land in the future when the municipality gives it away? The Mayor—the land was donated to the municipality to provide access. This has not changed; access will be improved with sidewalks, etc. Additional lands of 5 acres along Sixteen Mile Creek were discussed with Seaside. Andrea Fordham—what happens to natural area? The Planner—will have to be maintained. Diane Slaats—don't agree that it is good planning to have west side only. What is so valuable on the east side to jeopardize the development? The Planner—there will be onstreet parking on west side, access from street and rear. He noted that he had given four points earlier as reasons for the location of the commercial development. Martin Slaats—will council not approve this plan? The Mayor—Council will decide in this form or modified. There are outstanding appeals at the OMB that may be negotiated. Council makes a decision, and then stakeholders may negotiate. Phil Grant—what about blocking view? Bill McIntyre— I hear support for this commercial use on the east side. The Planner— I gave you my reasons, as a professional planner I support this plan. The Mayor—The intent is to present the plan to Council as is. Compromises have already been made. Laverne Kirkness— 1. request design population be increased to 3000 2. change east side to match our proposal, mixed use on east side. 3. need secondary plan to be more explicit— reference should be made to land in excess of right of way requirement for Havens Lake Road. 4. if west side surplus land is not conveyed to us, impossible for development to occur 5. promenade should be located within the right of way, not in addition to right of way. 6. Seaside is prepared to accept promenade, greenway and vistas as long as don't frustrate our main street plan. We can't create the heart of the community without the surplus lands. Seaside will not agree to the secondary plan unless we qet the surplus lands. Can we submit comments? The Mayor—to the Clerk by February 71 . Brenda Patterson —this plan is not considering amount of commercial that will be needed with people in trailer parks and using marina. The Planner—the development standard for a convenience store is 5000. Four times that amount has been designated. P J IT January 31113...Pg 4 of 4 Tim Blain —where have you been that there is commercial on one side of the street only? The Planner— it is not one sided, there is commercial on both sides. Robert White—bringing people in is concept we saw, not just considering those that live there. Wendi Dupuis—did you take into account seasonal population and visitors. The Planner— NO, based estimate on design population and servicing needs. The Mayor and Councillors thanked those in attendance for their comments. The meeting adjourned at 9:05 p.m. These minutes were adopted on the 14`x'day of February, 2013.

INTRODUCTION: Monthly report for the Recreation Department, BACKGROUND: 1. The Recreation Department should have taken the delivery of the new Zamboni on Tuesday February 12 2013 weather permitting. 2. The plans for the renovation at the Recreation Center are well underway. The Mechanical Contractors have made their recommendations and the floor plan has been submitted. 3. The Arena is operating with few mechanical problems. Ice use still is erratic as far as private rentals are concerned. Minor Hockey has started the OMHA Playoffs, the West Elgin Skating Club is preparing for the upcoming Carnival. 4. Advertising for the summer Parks as well as the Pool and Day Camp programs will commence shortly. I am hoping to have these positions filled earlier than last year. There are also suggestions by the pool staff to offer a different exercise program this year S. The West Lorne Complex repair is well underway. The perimeter drain has been repaired; the new sump pumps have been installed, as well as the water flow alarm. The battery back-up sump pump was not re-installed as this facility has a back-up power generator. In the case of a power failure the generator comes on in 90 seconds which will power the sump pumps. if that also fails the water alarm will send a signal to the Recreation Staff and they will attend and rectify the situation. The mould remediation is also underway and should be completed shortly. Once the mould remediation is complete, the repair to the drywall will start, and then the painting will commence.

The low lift pumping station is located south of the Water Treatment Plant at 8662 Graham Road, on the shores of Lake Erie. The water treatment facility consists of an intake system, a low lift pumping station, a treatment system and distribution pumping system that supplies water to the following secondary distribution systems: West Elgin, Dutton-Dunwich, Southwest Middlesex, Newbury, and Bothwell. Intake The intake consists of one 700mm diameter polyethylene pipe extending approximately 610m into Lake Erie at a depth of 5.7m. A zebra mussel chemical control system is used seasonally. The raw water is screened by two coarse screens. Low Lift Pumping Station Raw water is pumped from the low lift wet wells by four low lift pumps to the Water Treatment Plant. Treatment Plant Filtration At the water treatment plant the water is pre-filtered by four automatic strainers to protect the filter membranes from coarser particles and algae in the raw water. After the water has been strained it enters the membrane filtration system which removes fine particles, sediment, algae, protozoa and bacteria. Filtered water can be directed through the UV advanced oxidation process (AOP) unit to the treated water storage tanks. Disinfection Disinfection is achieved by the use of sodium hypochiorite for primary disinfection. Note that UV is intended for use with hydrogen peroxide (AOP) for taste and odour control. The treated water is stored in treated water storage tanks where it is pumped into the distribution network by the High Lift pumps. Post chlorination of the treated water is done at two points. The first dosing point is upstream of the Treated Water Storage Tanks and the second dosing point is downstream of the four High Lift Pumps before the distribution header.

Reg. 170103 Process Drain Water Waste water from the floor drains and online analyzers are directed to the process water handling facilities that include a settling basin and constructed wetlands. Flush water that cleans the pre-strainers and the membranes is also sent to the process water handling facilities. Monitor and Control The water treatment process and distribution components are controlled by a dedicated Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) computer system and monitored by certified operations. Standby Power Two diesel generators are available to permit the treatment plant to remain in operation should a power failure occur. Distribution The West Elgin WTP serves several communities. The primary transmission line from the WTP ends at the West Lorne Standpipe. Included in the distribution system is the Iona Re- Chlorination Station. The West Lorne Standpipe and Iona Re-chlorination Station are controlled and monitored from the WTP via SCADA.

Comments came in the form of a letter from Mr. John McGlynn (dated Jan. 9, 2013 and received on Jan. 16, 2013). An attachment showing possible surface water locations for sampling was provided on Jan. 18, 2013 via electronic mail. The MOE comments were provided on: • 2009 Annual Site Monitoring and Operations Report, West Elgin Landfill Site, Municipality of West Elgin, Rodney, Ontario, prepared by WESA Inc. and dated April 2010. • 2011 Annual Site Monitoring and Operations Report, West Elgin Landfill Site, Municipality of West Elgin, Rodney, Ontario, prepared by WESA Inc. and dated April 2012.

Ll Fax.519-742-9810 171 Victoria Street North,Kitchener,Ontario,Canada N2H 5C5 www.wesa.ca FINAL W-64718-12 February 8,2013 Response to Comments Note that a response is provided beneath individual MOE comments repeated below in italics. Groundwater evaluator's comments: 1. The site has been out of compliance with regard to MOE Reasonable Use Criteria (RUC) since 2006 or earlier, especially at the northeast and southeast property boundaries. Accordingly, the municipality has proposed to acquire Contaminant Attenuation Zones (CAZs), specifically 50 m extending from the southeast boundary, and 30m extending from the northeast boundary. MOE has previously commented that the 50 in CAZ was likely sufficient while the 30 m CAZ was not, and requested further leachate impact delineation to the east (the Provincial Significant Wetland - PSW). A new piezometer, MW15 (the furthest down gradient well from the landfill), was installed in 2010 in the PSW for this study. Based on the groundwater sampling results at this location (3 events), the consultant confirmed that leachate impacted groundwater has migrated at least to this location. However, the proposed 30 m CAZ with MW15 sitting at the edge stays unchanged in the 2011 report. No mitigation plan was proposed other than the statement (page 26) of- "... the wetland east of the landfill is not removed from the effects of leachate coming from the IandRll. This location will continue to be monitored at all future sampling events." With this proposed 30 m CAZ, the boundary well, MW15, is out of compliance as of the latest monitoring event (October 2011). it is unclear to this reviewer what the rationale of choosing the 30 m CAZ in this direction was. It is stated in Section 2.3 that concentration of chloride was detected at 236 mg/L in MWII and 136 mg/L in MW15 in fall 2010, which is reportedly due to the wetland dilution capability. It is my opinion that this conclusion is premature. MWII is approximately 100 m up gradient of MW15. it is also likely that groundwater with higher leachate impact (at MWII with higher chloride concentration) has not migrated to the down gradient are (MW15) yet. As a minimum, i suggest a study be done to evaluate the site attenuation capability and to predict the leachate impacted groundwater migration pattern so that a CAZ of reasonable distance could be selected. The municipality should prepare and provide this office with mitigation plans should the proposed CAZ; not be achievable or fail. The municipality should also provide supporting documentation identifying triggers for the mitigation/ contingency plan. if none exist an explanation should be provided as to why. MESA — -- ---- - Page 12 FINAL W-134718-12 February 8,2013 In 2012, the Municipality of West Elgin purchased the recommended CAZ to the south (50 m) of the site. As a result monitoring wells MW6, MW8, MW9, and MW12 are now considered on- site. Actions to purchase the recommended CAZ to the southeast (30 m) have been limited to initial conversations with the property owner. It is a requirement of the amended ECA received in 2012 to purchase this property by December 31, 2013. In 2012, WESA recommended that the Municipality install additional piezometers further east of MW15 to ensure that the proposed 30m CAZ is sufficient prior to entering negotiations with the owner of the neighbouring property. Three additional temporary piezometers (MWi6, MW17, and MW1S) were installed and sampled twice (in September and November 2012). These were installed on the neighbouring property in the Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) and had to be removed during the fail sampling event to meet the property owner's requirements. Please note that prior to installation; WESA confirmed with the Lower Thames Conservation Authority that there were no concerns with installing wells/ piezometers in the PSW. The installation of these piezometers was supervised by WESA and completed by a licensed well technician (Aardvark Drilling Inc.) and mirrored that of MW15. The decommissioning was completed by WESA in accordance with O.Reg. 903. The water elevations in MW15 through MW18 are influenced by both the shallow groundwater flow system and surface water. During September and November 2012, the groundwater elevations in these wells indicated that water flowed east toward MW16, and a component of flow from MW17 and MW18 flowed back towards the north (or towards MW15 and MW16). The wetland does not extend further east beyond MW16 and therefore there is little to no flow beyond MW16 within the wetland. It would be expected that any flow at the eastern edge of the wetland would be more towards the south. The concentrations of leachate indicator parameters ammonia, chloride, alkalinity, and DOC had shown an increasing trend in MW15 since the well's installation in 2010. A review of wells considered upgradient of MW15 (in particular MW3, MW7 and MW11) do not indicate a clear trend (either increasing or decreasing) with respect to these parameters. Of note, results of chloride in MW7 have more recently exhibited an increasing trend (since 2010). Although prior to 2010, historic results for chloride at this well were similar to current concentrations. The increasing chloride trend in MW15 was consistent during the September 2012 sample event however the November 2012 sample event indicated a decrease in all these parameters. WESA_-------- Page 13 FINAL W-84715-12 February 8,2013 MW16, located approximately 30 m east of MW15, had concentrations of leachate indicator parameters at similar levels or lower than found in MW15. Results for leachate indicator parameters in MW17 and MW18 meet the criteria. Other than chloride in MW15 in the Spring of 2012, the leachate parameters above the RUL in the wetland monitors (MW15 and MW16) are ammonia, alkalinity and DOC. However, these same parameters can occur naturally in wetlands due to decaying organic matter and they do not exceed for chloride which is considered one of the most conservative tracers for landfill leachate indicator parameters. Figure 1 presents the November 2012 data in a tri-linear or piper plot. These diagrams identify groundwater monitoring wells with chemical similarities by platting the relative contribution of major cations and anions on a charge equivalent basis, to the total ion content of the water. Therefore this figure identifies those wells that have similar chemistry to the leachate well MW2. MW15 and MW16 did not exhibit chloride concentrations about the RUL, however are in close proximity to the leachate well in the diagram. This is a further indication that leachate may be present at MW15 and MW16. It is noted that MW17 and MW18 are removed from the leachate wells and are in closer proximity to the background well on this plot. A more detailed review of the leachate indicator parameters and their behavior within the wetland needs to be conducted however, due to dry conditions in 2012, a background surface water sample could not be collected that would be the best method to confirm whether these results are leachate derived or wetland derived. It is to be recommended in the 2012 annual report that a sample of background surface water quality be collected in the Spring of 2013 to confirm if water quality to the southeast of the site in MW15 and the now decommissioned temporary monitoring MW16 are wetland-derived or indicative of leachate impact. The amended ECA requires the purchase of the recommended CAZ to the east of the site by December 31, 2013 and the Spring sampling should confirm if the 30 m CAZ is appropriate. 2. Figure 6, Cross Section B-B'—it shows that the gravel layer Becomes thinner at MWI, and the well is screened into the underlain clay material, which is not consistent with the borehole log provided in Appendix B. rhese errors should be corrected. The water level measurements shown in the cross-sections (Figures S and 6) should be updated as well. This has been corrected and will be provided in the 2012 Annual Report. WESA ----- Page 4 ': C CUmEX1r'y FINAL W-134718-12 February 8,2013 3. Seasonal fluctuation in MW5 has been significantly higher than in other wells. For example, water level increased 0.24 m in MW5 from spring to fall 2011, while decreased approximately 0.20- 0.80 m in all other wells during the same time period. As illustrated in Figure 8- Groundwater Elevations and Flow Direction, October 2011, a groundwater mound appears to exist at MW5. A discussion on whether the measured water level in MW5 reflects real groundwater fluctuation or indicates that the well seal is not intact should be provided. As a minimum an explanation for this water level discrepancy should be provided. A mound (an area where water levels are elevated above the immediate surrounding area) in the groundwater table has been noted historically along the western property boundary between MW5 and MWI. The mound causes a component of the groundwater flow in the southwestern corner of the site to flow towards the south (away from MW5 towards MW10), which has been seen historically. To assess the results from 2011, WESA has plotted water levels versus date for all monitors on Figure 2 attached to this letter. It is noted that after 2007, it's almost consistent that in all the wells the spring event has higher water levels. MW5 follows this trend except for in 2011 as discussed in the comment above. This well will continue to be monitored, however at this time it is thought that this is likely an anomalous reading and is not indicative of a well seal issue. 4. Appendix B - Borehole logs of MW14 and MW15 are presented as field notes, and the depth of MW15 is shown as 2 feet according to the provided field note. These borehole logs should be completed and corrected in future reports This has been corrected and will be provided in the 2012 Annual Report. 5. Appendix D, graph of MW15 - The consultant should remove the event when groundwater in the well was insufficient for sampling from the graph. Leachate indicator parameter concentrations during event are shown as zero, which is misleading. Additionally, the time axis of this graph is mistakenly scaled or labeled, and should be corrected. This has been corrected and will be provided in the 2012 Annual Report. WESA -- -- Page 5 FINAL W-134718-12 February 8,2013 Surface water evaluators comments: This landfill site has no history of a surface water monitoring program. The Ministry of the Environment Hydrogeologist reviewing the 2011 monitoring report, requested a surface water review of the report fused upon potential concerns of the landfill to the adjacent PSW wetland. The report acknowledges that leachate is reaching portions of the wetland. It is recommended that a surface water monitoring program be investigated/established for this landfill. Attempts should be made to explore the feasibility of establishing monitoring sites in standing water locations in the wetland. The attached CIS graphic provides possible locations where surface water monitoring sites may be situated. in addition to the latter sites which may be under the influence of the landfill, a background station needs to be established as well. I would be willing to meet on site with the Municipality and/ or consultant in establishing strategic locations for the surface water monitoring program. As discussed in previous monitoring reports, the landfill is positioned adjacent to a series of wetlands (northwest property boundary) and provincially significant wetlands (east property boundary). However, to date, there are no surface water features sampled on site. This is because the natural surface water drainage at the site is controlled by the low topographic relief. Previously, WESA has identified that there are no on-site drains and little evidence of surface water ponding or channels identified during WESA's site visits. The landfill is situated on a local topographic high and therefore surface water run-off has not been a problem. WESA and the Municipality have reviewed the MOE-proposed locations provided on January 18, 2013. It is proposed already to collect a background surface water sample from the PSW to the east of site during the Spring 2013 sample event to establish the extent of the CAZ. In addition, WESA will collect a sample to the south, to the north and to the east if conditions are suitable (i.e. wet conditions) as requested by the MOE. No sample will be collected to the west as this proposed location has been altered since and it is anticipated that no water will be present. WESA Page 6 [l� CCiftl(:tIF''t FINAL W-64718-12 February 8,2013 An assessment of surface water quality will be conducted following receipt of analysis to determine if ongoing surface water sampling is warranted, however at this time it is assumed that water will not be present in the Fall of 2013 for sampling.

(WESA), has been retained by the Municipality of West Elgin to prepare a Preliminary Groundwater Trigger Mechanism and Contingency Plan in compliance with their Amended Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) Number A051101 (Item 45), issued April 11, 2012. Figure 1 provides a Site Location Map and Figure 2 provides a Site Plan for the West Elgin Landfill Site with the current property boundary and all monitoring well locations. BACKGROUND The site had been out of compliance with regards to the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) Reasonable Use Criteria (RUC) since 2006 to the south and east of the site. In 2012, the Municipality of West Elgin purchased the recommended Contaminating Attenuation Zone (CAZ) to the south (50 m) of the site. As a result monitoring wells MW6, MW8, MW9, and MW12 are now considered on-site. Actions to purchase the recommended CAZ to the southeast (30 m) have been limited to initial conversations with the property owner. It is a requirement of the amended ECA received in 2012 to purchase this property, as shown on Figure 2, by December 31, 2013 (Item 33). Tel.519-742-6685 I WESA, a division of BluMetric Environmental Inc. L1 Fax.519-742-9810 IJ 171 Victoria Street North,Kitchener,Ontario,Canada N2H 5C5 www.wesa.ca DRAFT W-64718-15-00 February7,2013 In 2012, WESA recommended that the Municipality install additional piezometers further east of MW15 to ensure that the proposed 30m CAZ is sufficient prior to entering negotiations with the owner of the neighbouring property. Three additional temporary piezometers (M\V]6, MW17, and MW18) were installed and sampled twice (in September and November 2012). These were installed on the neighbouring property in the Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) and had to be removed during the fall 2012 sampling event to meet the property owner's requirements. Prior to installation, WESA confirmed with the Lower Thames Conservation Authority that there were no concerns with installing wells/ piezometers in the PSW. The installation of these piezometers was supervised by WESA and completed by a licensed well technician (Aardvark Drilling Inc.) and mirrored that of MW15. The decommissioning was completed by WESA in accordance with O.Reg. 903. The water elevations in MW15 through MW18 are influenced by both the shallow groundwater flow system and surface water. During September and November 2012, the groundwater elevations in these wells indicated that water flowed east toward MW16, and a component of flow from MW17 and MW18 flowed back towards the north (or towards MW15 and MW16). The wetland does not extend further east beyond MW16 and therefore there is little to no flow beyond MW16 within the wetland. It would be expected that any flow at the eastern edge of the wetland would be more towards the south. The concentrations of leachate indicator parameters ammonia, chloride, alkalinity, and DOC had shown an increasing trend in MW15 since the well's installation in 2010. A review of wells considered upgradient of MW15 (in particular MW3, MW7 and MW11) does not indicate a clear trend (either increasing or decreasing) with respect to these parameters. Of note, results of chloride in MW7 have more recently exhibited an increasing trend (since 2010). Although prior to 2010, historic results for chloride at this well were similar to current concentrations. The increasing chloride trend in MW15 was consistent during the September 2012 sample event however the November 2012 sample event indicated a decrease in all these parameters. MW16, located approximately 30 m east of MW15, had concentrations of leachate indicator parameters at similar levels or lower than found in MW15. Results for leachate indicator parameters in MW17 and MW18 meet the criteria. WESA Page 2 0 0W.Wc company DRAFT W-B4718-15-00 February7,2013 Other than chloride in MUU15 in the Spring of 2012, the leachate parameters above the RUL in the wetland monitors (MW15 and MW16) are ammonia, alkalinity and DOC. However, these same parameters can occur naturally in wetlands due to decaying organic matter and they do not exceed for chloride which is considered one of the most conservative tracers for landfill leachate indicator parameters. A more detailed review of the leachate indicator parameters and their behavior within the wetland needs to be conducted however, due to dry conditions in 2012, a background surface water sample could not be collected that would be the best method to confirm whether these results are leachate derived or wetland derived. It will be recommended in the 2012 annual report, due to the MOE April 30, 2013, that a sample of background surface water quality be collected in the Spring of 2013 to confirm if water quality to the southeast of the site in MW15 and the now decommissioned temporary monitoring MW16 are wetland-derived or indicative of leachate impact. The amended ECA requires the purchase of the recommended CAZ to the east of the site by December 31, 2013 and the Spring sampling should confirm if the 30 m CAZ is appropriate. Until the Spring 2013 sampling event is conducted, a Trigger Mechanism and Contingency Plan cannot be finalized because the boundary to the East will be unknown. The following presents a proposed plan; Preliminary Groundwater Trigger Mechanism and Contingency Plan Tier 1—Alert If one or more primary leachate indicator parameters (including Ammonia/ Organic Nitrogen, Alkalinity, Arsenic, Chloride, Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC), Iron, and Sodium) exceeds the trigger level established based on Reasonable Use for three (3) consecutive sampling events then a Tier 2 monitoring program may be implemented. Prior to implementing a Tier 2 monitoring program, the Tier 1 data will be evaluated through discussions with the MOE, the Municipality and the Municipality's consultant to determine whether the cause of the exceedence is related to the landfill or whether the exceedence may be partly or wholly attributed to other sources. Given the other known non landfill sources of leachate indicator parameters in the immediate vicinity of the site, this mechanism is essential to the effective monitoring of the site. ESA Page 3 a amt�hic company DRAFT W-81718-15-00 February7,2013 If a non-landfill related source is determined to be the cause of the Tier 1 exceedence, then a Tier 2 monitoring program will not be implemented. An appropriate monitoring program will be developed through consultation with the MOE, the Municipality and the Municipality's consultant for the location of the Tier 1 exceedence(s), If the source of the Tier 1 exceedence is determined to be likely related to the landfill, then a Tier 2 confirmation monitoring program will be implemented. Tier 2—Conrtrmatlon A Tier 2 confirmation monitoring program is designed to confirm the exceedence(s) identified by the Tier 1 Alert that are related to the landfill. When a Tier 2 confirmation monitoring program is activated, groundwater samples will be collected and analysed on a monthly basis for three (3) months at the monitoring location(s) where the Tier 1 exceedence(s) was identified and at the background monitoring locations. The Tier 2 confirmation monitoring program will be conducted to assess whether the Tier 1 exceedence is the result of a landfill impact as a whole or whether the Tier 1 exceedence may be attributed wholly or in part by other sources. The Tier 2 evaluation will include an assessment of other primary and other indicator parameters (including TDS, manganese, sulphate and boron), data from other sampling locations, and changes in adjacent land-use. The results of the evaluation will be discussed by the MOE, the Municipality and the Municipality's consultant. If the exceedence is confirmed after the Tier 2 confirmation monitoring program, discussions will be held between the MOE, the Municipality and the Municipality's consultant to determine whether the implementation of remedial measures are warranted. These discussions will occur within six (6) months from the implementation of the Tier 2 confirmation monitoring program. The discussions will review the nature of the exceedence and will evaluate the potential remedial measures available to the Municipality and will select an appropriate remedial measure. If the discussions confirm that a remedial measure(s) is required, the preferred remedial measure(s) will be implemented together with a Tier 3 Compliance performance monitoring program. If a non-landfill related source is determined to be the cause of the exceedence(s), then an appropriate monitoring program will be developed through consultation with the MOE, the Municipality and the Municipality's consultant for the location of the exceedence(s). WESA_ Page 14 a em,,iI c. company DRAFT W-B4718-15-00 February7,2013 Tier 3— Compliance The objective of a Tier 3 Compliance performance monitoring program will be to determine the effectiveness of the implemented remedial measure(s). The scope of the Tier 3 Compliance performance monitoring program will be defined through discussions with the MOE, the Municipality and the Municipality's consultant following the selection of the preferred remedial measure(s). Finalization of Trigger and Mechanism and Contingency Plan The final boundary to the east will be determined following the 2013 Spring Sample Event. As this sampling will not be conducted until April 2013, it is not expected that a finalized Trigger Mechanism and Contingency Plan can be submitted by April 11, 2013 as required by the ECA. Once the boundary to the east is confirmed, the Municipality will submit a finalized Trigger Mechanism and Contingency Plan to the Director, for approval, and copy the District Manager, Sincerely, VI/ESA, a division of BluMetric Environmental Inc.

These considerations include: written comments subsequent to the January 31, 2013, public meeting; surplus lands; Land Use Plan-Figure 4. 1) WRITTEN COMMENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE JANUARY 31, 2013, PUBLIC MEETING • Lakewood Estates has provided useful advice related to the modification of the Design Criteria policies as they relate to seasonal trailer parks. • Lakewood Estates has expressed concerns about their land holdings outside but adjacent to the PGSP study area. These lands are designated "Lakeshore Areas" in the Official Plan, and have approved zoning for proposed seasonal and permanent residential development in conformity with the Official Plan. • Seaside has recommended several minor wording changes/clarifications in both the background sections and policy sections of the PGSP. • Seaside has recommended the disposition of surplus lands along Havens Lake Road be specifically addressed in the secondary plan. Page 1 Seaside has recommended lands adjacent to the east side of Havens Lake Road be changed from Parks and Open Space to Mixed Land Use which permits both commercial and residential uses. The Ministry of Natural Resources has requested wording changes related to the Endangered Species Act, more references to Natural Heritage resources, and revised wording associated with the aggregate resource extractive activity (TBA). o MNR has also requested the incorporation of Figure 6 to the Official Plan of the Municipality of West Elgin (Woodlands, Hazardous Lands) directly into the Secondary Plan. • The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has requested wording changes including replacement of the term "settlement area" with "community". • MMAH also recommended the inclusion of building height restrictions for all land use categories. • MMAH has recommended, on the advice of legal counsel, the Port Glasgow Secondary Plan be adopted as an Official Plan Amendment. • Several members of the public submitted written comments as advocates for the inclusion of lands adjacent to the east side of Havens Lake Road in the Mixed Use category. 2) SURPLUS LANDS • The publically held lands adjacent to Havens Lake Road which are designated as surplus, are subject to a covenant requiring their long term use for public access to Lake Erie, and for parks and recreation purposes. • The Port Glasgow Secondary Plan, and more particularly the Public Promenade, Vistas and Architectural Attraction components will address the spirit and intent of the covenant by improving and enhancing public access to Lake Erie, and by establishing a number of sites intended to provide public parks and recreation functions. 3) LAND USE PLAN-FIGURE 4 • The Land Use Plan - Figure 4 was not altered or amended between the time the concept was presented to Council in December, 2012, and the presentation to the public and stakeholders in January 2013. • A four point planning rationale was presented to the Municipality and the public to establish/maintain a Parks and Open Space land use category for the lands adjacent to the east side of Havens Lake Road. • Comments from the Province of Ontario have substantiated the need to "overlay" Woodlands and Hazardous Lands map designations with associated Official Plan policies, on the lands on the east side of Havens Lake Road, and for all of Port Glasgow, as well as the need for Environmental Impact Studies completed to the satisfaction of the Province before development approvals will be secured in subsequent planning processes, including draft plan of subdivision for any and all lands in Port Glasgow. Page 2 RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Incorporate several of the edits recommended by the Province, and those recommended by stakeholders which reinforce the spirit and intent of the January, 2013, Draft Port Glasgow Secondary Plan. 2. Consider the incorporation of the surplus lands into adjacent land development proposals which address the intent of the Land Use Plan-Figure 4, and which may require conveyance of title of the surplus lands to support such development. 3. Revise the Land Use Plan Figure 4 to include a strip of Mixed Land Use along the east side of Havens Lake Road, and incorporate the Woodlands and Hazardous Lands elements from Figure 6 to the Official Plan directly into the Secondary Plan. 4. Prepare an Official Plan Amendment incorporating a revised Secondary Plan (March 2013) in accordance with the stakeholder input described herein. 5. After completion of statutory consultation with the public and the Province (the approval authority), adopt and circulate an Official Plan Amendment that will incorporate the Port Glasgow Secondary Plan in to the Official Plan for the Municipality of West Elgin. Gary Blazak, RPP Consulting Planner Page 3 CqC �� QF 4 11'�N The Municipality of West Elgin TO: COUNCIL OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF WEST ELGIN FROM: Scott Gawley, Administrator/Treasurer DATE: February 14, 2013 SUBJECT: Port Glasgow Secondary Plan RECOMMENDATION: INTRODUCTION: The Municipality of West Elgin prepared a Terms of Reference for Port Glasgow Secondary Plan in April 2012 with the purpose "to provide a context or framework for the future character and form of the settlement area of Port Glasgow against which changes in use and the development and redevelopment of individual parcels would be evaluated and future decisions made with respect to municipal infrastructure and facilities in accordance with a stated vision, goals, objectives and policies; compatible and effectively integrated with existing development; consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and in conformity with the West Elgin Official Plan." The Scope of the secondary plan and specific issues for the secondary plan are contained in Section 2.1 of the Terms of Reference. Gary Blazak, MA, MCIP — Registered Professional Planner was contracted to complete the task based on the above Terms of Reference. DISCUSSION: The secondary planning process has been posted on the Municipality's Web Site and the following public meetings have been held: • May 30, 2012 - To present the terms of reference, goals, objectives and time frame for the planning process. Attendance more than 80 persons and more than 40 comment forms were submitted over the next two months. • August 9, 2012 - Two public workshops to facilitate the presentation of different development concepts for Port Glasgow. Attendance by more than 80 persons in the afternoon session, more than 120 persons in the evening session and over 50 written submissions were received. o October 25, 2012 - Draft Port Glasgow Secondary Plan was presented to Council. a November 15, 2012- A public meeting was held to present the plan to the public. Attendance by more than 145 persons and over 64 submissions were received. • Comments were received from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Ministry of the Environment and Ministry of Natural Resources to be incorporated in the secondary plan. • January 24, 2013 - Port Glasgow Secondary Plan presented to Council and the Public January 31, 2013 and consider for adoption at the February 14, 2013 Council meeting by Council. • January 31, 2013 - Public meeting to present the Port Glasgow Secondary Plan that is going to be considered by Council of The Municipality of West Elgin for adoption on February 14, 2013. Attendance by more than 119 persons and over 145 submissions were received. The options to be considered by Council are: 1. Adopt all or any part or parts of the Port Glasgow Secondary Plan as presented based on the planner submission. 2. Based on recent public input there is a desire to revisit the east side of Haven's Lake Road for development. Request the planner to change the plan from its present form, to incorporate the East Side of Haven's Lake Road for possible future development in the mixed used category subject to considerations. This option has not been reviewed by the province. 3. Not approve the present plan. The considerations would seem to include: • Environment and natural heritage featureslissues raised by the province. • Release from the covenant by the province and all other legal issues in the sale of public lands. • Prospect for expanded Seaside OPA Appeal. • Justification for the expansion of mixed use, in particular the commercial use. The next steps after a secondary plan is adopted and accepted: 1. Apply for an Official Plan Amendment (OPA) to include the Port Glasgow Secondary Plan. 2. Resolution or disposition of Seaside OPA appeal. 3. How surplus lands are developed or not developed. 4. Ownership of the surplus lands be resolved. 5. Draft Plan of Subdivision is presented to Council by Developer for review and approval process. 6. Site Plan Review and approval process. 7. Building Permits would be issued according to the Ontario Building Code. Respectfully Submitted, R. Scott Gawley Administrator/Treasu rer . 7 To whom it may concern; I am writing this letter to inform council and the municipal office that I am strongly in favour of the Seaside Development plan. In my profession I continually talk with the community and listen to their views and opinions. I have been listening to members of council along with Seaside's proposal and the opinions of the community as well. After careful consideration, I think it is time for us to get on board for this "wonderful opportunity" to enhance the future of West Elgin! I know there are many people that agree with me, I talk with them every day. Unfortunately, there are some that are afraid of change as well, and I suppose they have good reasons for their opinions. We as a community have to demonstrate that we are willing to do what is best for all of West Elgin. "The only thing that is constant is change," lets make it a positive change for West Elgin. Our municipality is on a downward spiral; losing businesses, people moving away and very few amenities to encourage new growth. I have lived in this community my whole life and I intend to spend my future here and I want to see this area be the best it can be......... Unfortunately we usually only hear the negatives in these cases, council needs to pay attention to what is being said by the public as a whole. We need this development, and we need to allow the use of the land on either side of Havens Lake Road to enhance the appeal of this development. I think it is time for certain individuals to stop standing in the way of West Elgin's opportunity for a better future for everyone. Sincerely, Irene Kriter I agree with Irene's letter to council and the municipal office. 1 would also like to further add that Seaside is funding this operation without any cost to the taxpayers of this municipality. Sincerely, Kevin Kriter i, 1 I call West Elgin home and I would like to see in my community, employment opportunities for our residents including jobs for our students as well. I would like to see the business community in our town thrive and expand, not wonder if they will get through another month without closing doors! It would be wonderful to attract more young families to our area and to offer hope for a new generation to find out that this can be a great place to raise a family.

It seems suspicious that all parties can't arrive at a mutually appealing decision. We need growth and development, we need jobs, we need tax revenue and we need tourism in our community and this developer, Seaside, is offering us all of the above. Seaside, in return, is not looking for any financial input from the taxpayer but only for an opportunity to move forward with their land use plan that includes development on both sides of Havens Lake Road and a chance to purchase the surplus lands. Gary Blazik, in his presentation, referred several times to the "LOGIC" in the official plan and the secondary plan. I see nothing logical about a commercial corridor limited to one side of the street! Any logical plan for development would propose commercial property fronts facing one another in my opinion. Gary talked about the "relationship" to the mixed commercial on the west and the commercial on the south east side being in proximity and diagonal to one another—apparently similar to the proximity to the businesses that remain open in our downtown core of Rodney...some open, some closed, some considering closure. We really must dart diagonally around the corridor to patronize the remaining businesses. So yes, we in Rodney are familiar with commercial properties "in Proximity" but not across from one another! I am asking for council to consider the voice of the people, address the issues at hand. Do not accept this secondary plan as is. it will force further delays in development and further delays in jobs, tax revenue and tourism. Can we afford to wait another year? What might the main streets of Rodney and West Lorne look like in another 12 months without someone willing to take a risk and provide us with so much of what we are needing for the survival of our COMMUNITY. I have found my town to be a great place to live, raise a family and work in. I consider myself one of the fortunate few. How could it be wrong to promote growth and development that could offer the same for many more. I am not usually passionate in my opinion to offer it publicly. But, I do want to see my community thrive and prosper. 1 can't understand why our councillors would even consider not working with this developer to revitalize West Elgin. It just doesn't make sense tome.

As was evident by the crowd in attendance a large majority are in complete support of the Seaside Development moving forward. Also very evident by the majority was the complete support that the surplus lands that Seaside is requesting to purchase be conveyed to them so they may develop their "Village Centre" on BOTH sides of Haven's Lake Road as laid out in their site plan. The frustration in regards to the resistance this developer continues to face by our council is increasing rampantly. I would ask that you review the home page of the Municipality of West Elgin. In that introduction of our community it speaks of"people with drive and vision" still being able to find opportunity in West Elgin. It also states "Making it happen is our number one priority". To put it briefly, it seems that some of our council has lost sight of"our number one priority". I have listened to variations of excuses that Gord Haven's wanted that land left for the public to use. His own grandson mentioned in the paper that the reason the land was donated was to provide safe access for the public to the lake front and leave a legacy. That commitment has been fulfilled. We have a safe road. We also have a legacy in the naming of that road. No one is trying to take that away. I have talked to former members of council who were in power when the original deal was made as well as different community members and relatives that knew Gord well. All agree that Gord would be saying "get this moving". At election time I made my choices based on my presumptions of the business sense and common sense I thought the candidates I selected would have. I am at the point that I am regretting some of the choices I made. I will sum this letter up. Our community needs this development. The community wants this development. And the community expects you as our elected officials to support this development uninhibited. To say you are "all for" getting this project moving is not enough. You need to prove it. You need to support the transfer of surplus lands to Seaside as they wish. You need to direct 04/02/2013 Page 2 of 2 our planner to amend the Secondary Plan (again) to allow for commercial development on both the east and west side of Havens Lake Road, unrestricted. You need to stop making the excuses that studies, and ministries are the hold up on this moving forward. And, you need to send a message to our 11 member group at the bottom of the hill that their resistance to this project moving forward will definitely result in public resistance to any of their proposed projects moving forward. I would be happy to discuss this issue further at any time if you choose to reply. I can be reached by email at billm@mfasales.com or even better on my cell at 519-933-9250.

I hope you can see by the interest in the crowd at that meeting and several recent meetings, that council needs to reconsider how the retail village will look. That the seaside proposal is a better and more functional plan, now and for the future . A two sided street certainly would be more attractive and functional for people. Talking with people throughout the township I do not see hardy any interest in a one sided street. I find it hard to believe that the majority want the secondary plan to proceed the way it was presented last Thursday. If you are listening to the people who voted you to your position you need to consider more carefully how this development will function and look. Nobody including you, have shown or informed me what significant reason to leave the east side of Havens Lake Road not developed. "The view" is not significant reason but an excuse to not make the change. Council has the power to make these changes, excuses that MNR will not except it, MOE will not let the sewage plant go where it is proposed I have heard from several council members. I don't believe those excuses, and that is up the ministries to rule on that. Your decision to approve a plan that will create the best possible economic environment for growth is your responsibility. Some people do not want change, a few people like it the way it is because they have it good and don't want to lose what they have now. It is hard for some people to change but if we don't look to the future and envision what will happen if we don't grow and make change, we actually go backward. This entire process has gone on too long, I am not saying it is an easy job working through a project like this but certain interest groups have distracted this decision making process and from what I am hearing in the township a lot of us just thought , "hey great idea lets get it going" Now concerned rate payers have realized that this project is not proceeding in a positive way. Council needs to look to the future of this township and allow change to create some wealth and economic prosperity through development. Our township does not have many resources to improve our economic development into the future. We need this to build a tax base and create some new jobs, I realize that not all these jobs will be high paying but it will attract people and positive results will come from new people. On February 14th make the change in the secondary plan and allow retail space on both sides of the road! and sell the surplus land to seaside.

Good morning Ms Bryant I have a letter I would like to have read into the record for next council meeting---it is attached at the end. If there is something more I need to do to have this done other than sending it to you , please let me know Mike. Dr Michael Popovich �,UNCIFALMJ� e_ Rodney Ont 519-785-2194 Ricimn U �, michaelagolf@sympatico ca r To the Mayor and all councillors: As concerned citizens we have a few comments regarding the proposed Secondary Plan and about the Seaside development in general. This new Secondary Plan has for some unknown reason removed any notion of a town centre ,a planning concept which is vital to the over all development of this roadway from an economic standpoint, All tourist/village downtowns utilize the"both sides of the street"shopping area&this should be the same in this case. As proposed,there will be unattractive brush/grass lands on one side and shops on the other which will be visually unattractive and shopper unfriendly. People shop up one side and down the other on any normal street. This must be a planning nightmare as it becomes obvious that any future expansion will require a total redo of the street scape,drainage infrastructure,water supply and sewer systems, This becomes cost-ineffective at best,prohibitive at worst. A double sided approximating street scape would be best for all involved. Now a comment to the over all development. We cannot afford to do anything to jeopardize this investment in our area as incoming dollars are virtually non-existent. Unless we want to abandon our shops in towns like Rodney and become"tumble-weed"farmers we better get off of our collective duffs and move positively on this project&do it sooner than later. Council this means you,as people in small towns have large and long memories. I would imagine that some of you are not worried about re-election but you still have to look us in the eye on the street. Have a great day and vote responsibly.Please vote as the public directs you and not because of some other agenda.

I would like to make a couple points in regards to development. I am a servicing/road contractor for more than 15 years. We have worked on many subdivisions as well as private developments over the years. I have been fortunate enough to work with many great designers as well as Engineers. I have been involved with the design of new developments, along with the owners and the engineering departments. It is important to start with a proper base with any development before you get started. appreciate Gary's comments and all the work he has put into his SP. However, it's apparent it was designed to keep a few people happy and not designed for a developer,or definitely investors!! Everyone knows that a one sided town is set up for failure. To even consider this, is obvious that this is to keep a very small group happy.This is NOT what the public wants, and even more, needs. I wanted to clarify on the comment made by Gary in regards to developing the East side at a later date.That the costs would not be considered as a significant problem.This is a shame that he said this publicly. There are so many steps into designing a core town such as Sea Side has proposed.The one thing I picked up on Gary's comment about tying into the existing sewers after the fact would not be a problem. Let's dissect that for a moment. If you are only given a certain amount of property to work with and develop,you would obviously only design your infrastructure for this. Not what"may' come later?They will have a SWM plan designed and completed. A sewage treatment plant designed for certain amount of home/people. Roads and sewers would be designed for the same. You cannot simply add another side of a town after the fact.And to ask Sea Side to even consider this "possibility" into their design,would put the cost way over budget.The East side would be left out completely. How do you propose to handle all the storm water on the East swale alone, and tie into an undersized storm sewer, and storm water management pond? How would you propose to handle all the future sanitary sewers on the East side after?Gary spoke about the housing development on the East side,would not be a problem to tie into it. How is this possible when that whole development is at a much higher grade??You would be looking into pumping stations and road cuts as well as a whole new separate infrastructure to handle the East side of Havens Lake road. As a developer,you cannot up size all you designs for a "what if". They know this. This is why the PGYC is Ok with the SP. They know that it will NOT be feasible to put the East side in at a later date. As a contractor,what they are proposing is ridiculous.Sea Side knows this. And how do you expect to fill stores and condos with such a ridiculous design. We are so close to losing this whole deal because of a small few that think they own the lake and beaches in our Municipality. Let it be known,that myself, and a lot of rate payers, will see that no more of our money is being set aside for their future developments, or even more important,there maintenance. We all know the Federal government has stopped paying for dredging of these small ports. It's up to the Municipality to pay. (That would be us)The Lakes are dropping significantly every year.And without our money and support,there little club would be nothing more than a place to paddle out in a canoe at best. So for them to be so greedy, and selfish, is making the majority of the community sick!1 Frank Vanden Boomen 9923 Graham Rd West Lorne 519-380-5075 Norma Bryant From: Bernie Wiehle [berniewiehle @gmail.com] Sent: February-05-13 12:39 PM To: Norma Bryant Subject: Fwd: Letter to the Editor ardenomme @yahoo.ca ---------- Forwarded message---------- From: Ruth Denomme <ardenomme @yahoo.ca> Date: Tue, Feb 5, 2013 at 11:46 AM Subject: Letter to the Editor To: Bernie Wiehle <berniewiehle @gmail.com> Cc: Dug Aldred <dugjudy @xplornet.com>, Richard Leatham <jr.leatham @hotmail.com>, Norm Miller <norm.miller @hotmail.com> Gentleman: I am e-mailing you a letter that will be published in the Chronicle. FIVE YEARS----NO HOUSING On January 31st I attended a public meeting at the Legion in Rodney regarding the Secondary Plan. I noticed that some people think that by giving 'Surplus Land' away and building a town centre along Haven's Lake Road, people will be drawn to Port Glasgow. We have the biggest drawing card in Port Glasgow already---the marina, the lake, and sports fishing. It's too bad we don't have more sandy beach. The developer should build the residential subdivision now and attract people to buy houses, then maybe shops and stores in Rodney and West Lorne will re-open and survive--not build another town along Haven's Lake Road, that in the future will have 'Closed' or'For Rent' in the windows. Let's leave 'Surplus Land' along Haven's Lake Road alone, to protect the natural environment and our heritage. We moved here in 2010 for the sports fishing, marina and natural environment, not for the proposed town centre. Sincerely. Whitey Denomme. 1 Norma Bryant From: Wendie at Lakewood ; Sent: February-06-13 10:36 AM 6i Ary WkSTE et% To: Norma Bryant RFCEJvrn Cc: Richard Leatham; Norm Miller; Dug Aldred; Bernie Wiehle FED 0 6 2013 Subject: RE: email as correspondence to Council eijlte Dear Council, As I mentioned at the meeting I have some concerns regarding the draft secondary plan as presented at the January 31, 2013 public meeting held at the Rodney Legion. 1) section 4.6 "Specific Implementation Policies" pt 1 - Expansion or alteration of the boundaries of the Port Glasgow Settlement Area will be by Official Plan Amendment. Such amendment will be in conformity with the Provincial Policy Statement-and to your comments that any expansion of my park or development on this land would have to be an ammedment to the Official Plan. Imagine my surprise when it was stated that I could not develop my lands, already zoned LR3-H, to the east of my existing trailer park without raving to go through an Official Plan ammendment. When the secondary plan process started, I spoke with Ted Halwa and specifically asked about the "red line" cutting through my park property along the east side. He told me not to worry that it was just outlining the "study area" and was not meant to be along the property line or in fact a boundary at all. Now, I have concerns that I will not be able to develop my lands to the east without an Official Plan ammendment, which ultimately would mean until all of the settlement area within the red line is developed. Again, I would point out that my property to the east of the red line is already zoned for development(LR3-H) for year-round housing, golf course, marina, etc., whereas the area within the red line settlement area (Lot 5&6 - Seaside) are currently zoned agriculture. Once again I am feeling like this municipality favouring one developer over another. It is our intention to sever the 103.7 acres along it natural boundary of Ox Creek in order to make the best use of the road and services access to the two distinct parts to the property that are separated by the 80ft ravine of Ox Creek. Thus allowing year-round private building lots to be developmented to the east of the creek with services coming to the property from Mistele Road and have the property to the west of the creek added to the existing trailer park (Lakewood) for future expansion of seasonal sites, rental cabins and glamping units. I purchased this land specifically because it was already zoned for future development and I truly feel that I have a strong argument with the government ministries and boards to pursue this issue to its fullest to maintain these rights. Since deadlines are approaching and I wish to have this matter addressed before the secondary plan becomes final, I will be submitting letters of concern to the appropriate government offices. RECOMMENDATION: Remove first bullet in section 4.6 of the draft Secondary Plan. REQUEST: to receive IN WRITING, before the accepting of the Secondary Plan by Council, assurances that I will not have to go through the Official Plan ammendment process in order to proceed with the develope options for my 103.7 acres to the east of the red line. (I understand that I would still need to comply with the regular EA studies, plan of subdivision, etc. for year-round development, or should I decide to re-zone in order to expand my trailer park that the severance, EA studies, septics, water, electrical, site plans etc would still need to be completed as usual.) 2) Section 4.7 IV : Non-paved private road width 10 meters. 06/02/2013 As you stated, these would apply to roads in the parks (campgrounds). I would argue that roads in parks are usually one-way to allow for angle access for backing units onto sites. For one-way traffic the roads widths average 3m-4m. For roads that accomodate two-way traffic widths are 4.6m- 4.9m. So an average for roads of this type (park purposes) are about half the width as proposed in the draft secondary plan. Keep in mind that non-paved private park roads have maximum speed limits of 10kmh. would also point out that Gray Line in front of my trailer park is a paved, two-way, public roadway and measures only 7.01m. Recommendation: That section 4.7 IV of the draft secondary plan be changed to better define which roads this section refers to and that a clear definition of widths be set out for use within campgrounds and trailer parks. Your attention to my concerns is greatly appreciated, Wendie Dupuis Lakewood Trailer Estates Inc 1272969 Ontario Inc 1273967 Ontario Inc 1273989 Ontario Inc 06/02/2013 R�C�IVF.Fs To: West Elgin Municipal Office I-EB 0 1 2013 Re: Seaside Development As someone who both lives and works in the West Elgin Community, it is very disheartening to think that before we know it, an opportunity to see our Community flourish may pass us by and in two years time, we will think back to what could have been? If you have been voted onto our Town Council, the expectation is that you, as members, are here to look out for what's best for our Community and of course to strive for the growth and development of this Community. It appears to me that there are council members who may be looking out for their own best interests, not what is best for this Community. Seaside has presented us an opportunity to create jobs for the people who live here; giving them a reason to stay in Rodney and the surrounding area, rather than having to move to the city to find employment. Seaside has presented to us how they will bring in tax revenue for the development of our community; so instead of watching every business in our downtown core close up week after week—we are creating traffic flow and consumer spending right here in our own Community. I hope that Town Council reflects strongly on what will happen to Rodney and area if we continue to create unnecessary roadblocks for Seaside to the point where they pick up and find another Community who will be more accommodating and excited to develop. The most disappointing aspect to me has been in the way that Town Council has handled the entire process from day one. 6yrs seems to be a long time coming and as quoted from a member of our community in one of the more recent Chamber Meetings, "Props to Seaside for sticking it out this long!!" My question to council would be why there has been a need, after all this time, to spend our tax payers dollars to hire a separate planner to create a Secondary Plan—when it has been stated loud and clear from Seaside that they have already created this plan. A more reasonable approach would have been working directly with Seaside and their planners, at Seaside's expense, instead of ours— the taxpayers of this community. To add to my point, its not just the Secondary Plan but many different aspects of this development that it would seem to me, that Town Council could work more cohesively with Seaside to move forward with this development. Now this Secondary Plan has merely created more delay. It has disregarded a lot of Seaside's development intentions and has turned into a plan, as voiced by our community; that makes absolutely no business sense. We are often heard fighting about a view of Haven's Lake Road. To me, this is not an argument about a view; this is an argument about CHANGE. Those opposed to a development, fighting a battle of a"certain view", really disapprove because they don't want change. Those of us in the community that are fighting for this Development, standing behind Seaside are those who understand and realize that WE NEED THIS CHANGE. We can't afford not to?!

The Port Glasgow Yacht Club has been one of the biggest opponents towards Seaside building and bringing Prosperity to this Municipality and the towns surrounding it. They are non-profit, a huge amount of taxpayer money has been spent at the Marina with nary a dollar to help with our infrastructure, schools or our tax base?? There is no WAY that the Seaside Project can be done wrong. As you well know, they have so many Ministries to answer to, that it would be impossible to do anything wrong. COUNCIL are the ones that NEED TO GET IT RIGHTH We need the Jobs, we need the new Tax Dollars and we need our Councillors to QUIT INTERFERING WITH PROGRESS................. PUT PORT GLASGOW ON THE MAPHM Take the brakes off and give Seaside the Blessings that they deserve for even sticking around all these years because they trusted that every council member had the guts to stand up to their friends and say "I TOOK AN OATH.... And I WILL DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THE MUNICIPALITY." This Secondary Plan NEEDS the surplus lands with a "mixed use" designation, because, if it is not done NOW, before signing, it will require a new Council to make an Official Amendment to the Secondary Plan. Building will be done on the East Side, sooner or later... let's GET IT DONE RIGHT and GET IT DONE NOWHH I truly believe that most of the Councillors are able to do their job WITHOUT PREJUDICE and I CHALLENGE YOU TO GET SOME POLITICAL FORTITUDE and do what is right for All of Port Glasgow and West Elgin.

I am an employee of a business in Rodney as well as a concerned citizen of West Elgin. Why I am concerned....I have had the opportunity to sit in on most of the public meetings as well as the council meetings where Seaside has provided updates and their vision of the future and it does not seem that our council has the courage to make the RIGHT choices for our future. The RIGHT choice would be to allow development on both sides of Havens Lake Road that would allow the Seaside development to offer the amenities it proposes for our future. The RIGHT choice would be for councilors with a "conflict of interest"to state so and refrain from voting. The RIGHT choice would be for the council to be prepared to fight for prosperity and future opportunities for our youth to work, our local businesses to have an opportunity to grow, as well as a place for our citizens to enjoy without having to drive to London or Chatham. I have watched business after business shrink and then close. I have listened to the folks who use the Port Glasgow Yacht Club argue about the "view"which we must retain. I can assure you the "view" when you are on the water far surpasses any on land! I have watched our councilors say one thing and then display actions that conflict with their words. I have watched a community come together to ask why our council insists on putting up roadblocks against the only development proposed. I have listened to queries about surplus lands and the future intended purpose of the land debated. We do not need surplus lands, we do not need a view....we need economic development and we cannot wait any longer! It is time for West Elgin Municipal Council to make the RIGHT decision. The Secondary PIan as it is currently in draft form does not allow Seaside to complete the development as proposed. Since Seaside and Howard Culligan are the only developers interested in helping our community grow and prosper then council must amend the Secondary Plan to satisfy the needs of the plan proposed by Seaside. The growth of our community depends on this development, the growth of the yacht club depends on this decision and this is the RIGHT thing to do. The only question left.....does our local councilors have the courage to make the RIGHT decision?

I'm extremely disappointed in the manner of how the Municipality of West Elgin has handled this situation. In fact, I'm appalled. Think of the number of businesses in Rodney, including mine, that has been forced to close their doors within the last year. If this development had the approval to go forward years ago, I would have been optimistic for the future of West Elgin, and carried on. I cannot believe that this Municipality has not been pro- active and accommodating to Seaside. It's time to decide your fate. Good Luck!

Seaside recognizes that some progress has been made with the SP from its first draft by West Elgin's Project Team and appreciates the effort to communicate with the public, stakeholders and the government agencies. The new Land Use Plan —Figure 4 and the additional text— policies—have, to some extent, clarified the intentions of the SP in terms of planning the community of Port Glasgow, However, Seaside believes there is a work yet to do to ensure it can develop its lands and create a "community" with a village centre along Havens Lake Road, enabling economic development and growth through promotion of Port Glasgow as a destination, with related tourism and recreational opportunities, local employment and significant municipal tax revenues. A summary of items that need to be addressed to enable Seaside to support the Secondary Plan, include: 1. Seaside requests that Figure 4 in the SP be changed to establish a Mixed Use land use designation on the east side of HLR on previously disturbed lands, opposite the Mixed Use designation on the west side, in order to establish a viable Village Centre as the focal point of the Community. The Protected Natural Corridor can still be accommodated within the wooded ravine system east of this previously disturbed area. The frontage along Havens Lake Road needs to be part of the Village Centre (i.e. 2 sides v. 1), as committed to by the previous Council of the Municipality of West Elgin; and as planned by Seaside since 2007. 1 The Mixed Use area should be added along the east side of Havens Lake Road. A "Mixed Use" designation along the east side of Havens Lake Road should be able to occur over a previously cleared and "mowed open area" which forms part of the Havens Lake Road surplus lands. These lands are understood to be a "disposal" or "fill" area established by the Municipality when HLR was constructed. It is noted that a contiguous natural corridor can still accommodated immediately east of the Mixed Use designation. With the "Mixed Use" designation on the west side of HLR, the designation of a "Mixed Use" area along the east side of HLR would be consistent with the west side and enable the proper planning of a Village Centre. Seaside supports the provision of a "green planting strip" along the frontage of this parcel which might be partly included in the design of the widened road right of way. Buildings in this location could also be set back from Havens Lake Road to accommodate such a "green planting strip" along the frontage. The mature vegetation in back of this parcel would be maintained as part of the "Protected Natural Corridor". Having stated the above there are two major pieces of information that need to be conveyed here and this is based on the work done by Seaside, but can be observed in the information previously filed. These are: a) It should be made clear that the all of the lands covered by the PROTECTED NATURAL CORRIDOR are not "natural". There are large areas of fill placement and mowed grass. The drainage course is an engineered drainage ditch and has gabion basket drop features at the lower end. Reference to 'fish habitat'within ditch east of HLR, needs to be clarified. Any intermittent (Class 'F') watercourse that is hydraulically connected and contributes 'flow' to a downstream watercourse or water body is considered 'fish habitat'. There are opportunities to improve (v. degrade) the habitat function of this ditch segment in conjunction with Seaside's development, through reduced channel gradient, widening channel bottom, reducing channel velocity which impedes fish movement, and placement of select plantings for shading and cooling. The 'fish habitat' should not receive a specific land use designation, but needs to be placed in a proper context for consideration to assist in evaluating development applications. 2. The SP needs to be clear that the lands in excess of the 25 m road allowance along Havens Lake Road are surplus, offer no other viable use and should be combined with adjacent lands to create viable development blocks. If these surplus lands are not 2 conveyed to Seaside, the Village Centre will not be viable or functional. The SP needs to follow through on its' land use designations so that they are "achievable", pursuant to the prior commitments of the Municipality of West Elgin. Seaside requests that the SP commit to conveying the surplus lands to adjacent land owner(s) lands for economic development pursuits. 3. The Design Population set out in section 3.1.8 which amounts to 2205 needs to be qualified as an estimate in the event of density modifications, which could result in increases to population projections. Seaside requests that the design population should be a range from 2200 to 3000. This is based on a re-calculation of the proposed attached dousing block in the Seaside proposal and increasing their density to 75 units per ha, which is the typical upset density in medium density residential land use categories. A contingency of 15% has also been added to take into account unforeseen circumstances. 4. The SP contains a description which suggests that Seaside AGREED to not having the EA -- Environmental Assessment Study integrated with the SP. This is not the case. It was an independent decision by WE. SPECIFIC COMMENTS ON FIGURES 2 and 3 5. See the detailed comments provided by Seaside team in August of 2012 post Workshop. Much time and effort was spent preparing these comments in response to the information presented at that time. Seaside's team tried to provide some clarity with what it viewed as an incomplete analysis. It remains incomplete. Seaside's suggestion remains as it has always been: delete the two figures, make them more comprehensive with Seaside's suggestions (August 22) OR relegate them to "appendices" in the Secondary Plan. SPECIFIC POLICIY COMMENTS 6. There were several comments made to various parts of Sections 1, 2 and 3 in our submissions of November 30, 2012. Most were not responded to. These were requests for more detail, more facts, sources of information as Seaside believes some of the information needs to be questioned (eg. section3.1.1 on boat traffic and section 3.1.5 on aggregate extraction). There were suggestions for additional items of information that Seaside would contribute through their studies. 3 In some areas of the SP that describe Natural Heritage features, descriptions are over- stated with the use of adjectives and suggest scientific or statistical measure that has not been done to support such statements. For example, significant views, exceptional opportunities and very steep slopes (section 2.3), significant tracts of open space and significant vistas (section 3.2.8). In fact, Seaside's research and study by its development team has found the opposite. Seaside requests a review of these descriptive adjectives so as to portray a more accurate picture of these foundational components. One section in particular needs to be brought to your attention. Section 2.2.3 the Seaside lands are identified as having to consider regulated habitat as defined in the ES Act. However, this consideration is not just for the Seaside lands. Similar consideration would have to be had for the entire planning area. Seaside requests that this section should be placed in a more appropriate section of the Plan such as section 3.2.8—Parks and Open Space. Seaside was advised that these sections are descriptive and foundational sections and that the operable policies are contained in section 4.0.—thereby Seaside's focus is now on Section 4.0. 7. Section 4.1—dividing the environmental and economic goals is useful, but the term ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY is broad that could mean a whole spectrum of ideas and notions and therefore Seaside asks that the following environmental goal replace it. "Future development and redevelopment of all lands in Port Glasgow will encourage improvements to natural heritage and will ensure no net loss of important heritage features and functions." 8. Section 4.5—the 5th point-form statement regarding VISTAS and their VISUAL CONES is helpful but Seaside asks the following to be added at the end of it.. "The Vista Cones on Figure 4 suggest the general direction of views and are not intended to prohibit development along Havens lake Road". 9. Section 4.6—first point should be replaced with the following .... "Expansion or alteration of the boundaries of Port Glasgow Settlement Area will be guided by the Environmental Assessment Act with respect to waste water servicing for lot 6.. 4 10. Section 4.7 -- DESIGN CRITERIA is helpful but to improve them, seaside requests the following: a. clearly stating that the PROMENADE of 6 m in width is to be within the ultimate 25 m public road allowance. b. clearly stating that the GREEWAY of 4 m in width is to be primarily within the 20m m public road allowance of Gray Line.. 11. Section 4.3.4.1—Seaside requests a simplification of this section to permit private road access for groups or clusters of commercial uses in the Village Centre along Havens Lake Road. Seaside is not asking for "individual site accesses". 12. HAVENS LAKE ROAD -- A separate policy on HLR surplus lands is required to ensure that the policy framework enables consideration of the conveyance of public lands to acquire other, more strategically located, private lands to serve the public's recreation and natural heritage conservation interests, and to assist private development to provide for community economic development. Seaside requests a special policy on Havens Lake Road elements and road allowance irregularity and development along side it. A suggested policy follows: In recognition of the importance of Havens Lake Road to the overall development of Port Glasgow, the development of it shall reflect the following principles and elements; • Be coordinated with the commercial and mixed use alongside it, • The normailizotion of the road allowance to a width of 20 m to 25 m, • The inclusion of lands in excess of the normalized road allowance with development along side, • Have a minimum of 2 through lanes of enhanced width for traffic flow, • on-street parking, • optional centreline median treatment, • a promenade of widened sidewalks and landscaping with furniture to enhance the walking, cycling and slow moving vehicles, • aesthetic landscaping, lighting and street furniture treatment.

Norma Bryant, Clerk Municipality of West Elgin 22413 Hoskins Line P.O. Box 490 Rodney, ON NOL 2CO Subject: Draft Secondary Plan for Port Glasgow Municipality of West Elgin, County of Elgin Dear Ms, Bryant: Thank you for providing the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing with a copy of the proposed Secondary Plan for the community of Port Glasgow in West Elgin dated January 2013 for our review. The proposed Secondary Plan is required to be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and to conform with the West Elgin Official Plan. We commend West Elgin for making changes to the previous draft Secondary Plan in response to comments from Provincial Ministries and the Conservation Authority. Having reviewed the revised January 2013 Secondary Plan we offer the comments below. Due to the short turn-around time between receiving the draft and providing these comments, other Provincial Ministries and agencies have not been circulated. As such, they may forward comments to you separately. Policies and designations in the West Elgin Official Plan, relating to development in the Port Glasgow area are under appeal at the Ontario Municipal Board. The Ministry decision to approve the West Elgin Official Plan on February 7, 2011, was appealed by Seaside Waterfronts Inc. and Lighthouse Waterfronts Inc. (Board Case No. PL110240, Board File No. PL110240). We understand that the adoption of the Secondary Plan is intended to address the appeals to the Official Plan and to facilitate the completion of the circulation and approval processes for the Seaside draft plan of subdivision and condominium applications (p. 1 of draft Secondary Plan). The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing is the approval authority for official plans and amendments (including secondary plans) in the Municipality of West Elgin. As you know, decisions of both Municipal Council and the Minister must be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS), Section 1.1, Subject Area, page 1, and other sections. The final paragraph in Section 1A states: "The entire land area occupied by the settlement area of Port Glasgow is approximately 82 hectares (153 acres). The study area is shown on Figure 1". We note that the word "settlement" is used in this section and throughout the Secondary Plan to refer to Port Glasgow. The word "settlement" has specific meanings in the adopted County of Elgin 1 Official Plan and in the PPS. The nature of the appeal to the West Elgin Official Plan is related to determining whether Port Glasgow is a settlement area and the extent of the boundaries of the Port Glasgow community as shown on the Land Use Schedule, "Figure 6". The policies relating to Port Glasgow in the West Elgin Official Plan, as adopted by Council, and approved by the Ministry, are under Section 7 of the Plan, the "Lakeshore Area" designation. Policies for Port Glasgow are found in Section 7.5. The first sentence refers to Port Glasgow being within the "Lakeshore Area" designation. Therefore we recommend that the word "settlement" not be used, and instead, refer to "community"; "area"; "Secondary Plan area"; or"special policy area", as appropriate, depending on the context of the Section. This comment applies to references to "settlement" in Sections 2.2.3; 2.2.3 i); 3.1.8; 3.1.9 (2°d, 3`d 5111 and 6u, bullets); 3.2.13; 4.1; 4.2.8; 4.3.4; 4,6; and 4.7. Section 1.2 Background and Rationale —West Elgin Official Plan, page 1 Related to the comment above, this Section should explain that Port Glasgow is in the "Lakeshore Area" land use designation. Section 1.3 Official Plan for the County of Elgin, page 2 The first sentence of the second paragraph states that when substantial urban development takes place in Port Glasgow, it would ultimately necessitate recognition and designation of Port Glasgow as a "Settlement Area" in the County of Elgin. This sentence should be removed. For the reasons outlined above, it has not been determined that Port Glasgow is a "Settlement Area". Further, the Secondary Plan should not make reference to changes that may or may not occur to an upper tier Official Plan, as a result of changes to a local plan. Section 2.1 Terms of Reference, page 3 In subsections b) and d) on page 3 it is suggested that it be spelled out that "EILR" means Havens Lake Road. This comment also applies to Section 2.2.3 ii). Further, it is suggested that Havens Lake Road be labelled on f=igure 4. Section 3.1.1 Havens Fake Road, pages 7.8 We would recommend that the first bullet point explain that Havens Lake Road is an open, public road maintained by the Municipality. Section 3.2.5 Commercial, pane 13 We note that this version of the Secondary Plan has added policies to recognize the drainage course adjacent to Havens Lake Road and the need to protect the natural heritage resources. We would encourage these types of statements in the Secondary Plan to protect the natural heritage resources. It was noted in the previous comments that development in or adjacent to the drainage course is subject to the Conservation Authority Regulations. Section 4.2.1 Primary Uses, Page 17 The second paragraph states: "The establishment of new development and/or site alteration in Port Glasgow will have regard for the LTVCA Regulation restrictions for Regulated Areas. Figure 6 of the Official Plan of the Municipality of West Elgin will be used as a guideline to identify the lands subject to these regulations." We support this policy in the Plan and recommend that a similar statement be made with regard to Significant Woodlands, which are also shown on Figure 6 Port Glasgow, in the West Elgin Official Plan. 2 Section 4.2.3, Residential Uses, page 17 The policy states that residential uses will generally be restricted to a maximum of four storeys above grade. It is recommended that height restrictions for other land use designations (e.g. commercial) be included into the Secondary Plan, to be consistent with the residential restrictions, and to protect the views and vistas. The second sentence notes that the regulation of residential uses will be achieved with the municipal zoning by-law and where application, site plan control. Some clarification may be needed as site plan control does not apply to low density residential use (West Elgin Official Plan, Section 10.7.1). Section 4.4 Implementation, page 21 The Section states that the integration with the West Elgin Official Plan could be achieved as an Official Plan Amendment or by a Minister's Modification. It is the position of the Ministry that the Secondary Plan be adopted by Council as an amendment to the West Elgin Official Plan. Section 4.5 General Implementation Policies, page 21 (note spelling error"Plicies") The third bullet point mentions that the Province of Ontario will assist in interpretation of the Plan. This Section should be arnended to refer to the "applicable Approval Authority". The Conservation Authority and the MNR may have a role in interpreting the location of Regulated Areas or the boundaries of natural heritage features. In the future, the County of Elgin will be assuming the role of approving plans of subdivision and condominium and may have a role in interpretation. Section 4.6 Specific Implementation Policies The first bullet point refers to expansion or alteration of the boundaries of Port Glasgow. This Section should refer to Figure 4 of the Secondary Plan, Figure 6 of the Official Plan, and to Section 7.5 of the Official Plan. The wording of the second sentence could read; "Such amendment will be in conformity with the applicable policies of the Official Plan and be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement." Conclusion We hope that this information is of assistance to the Municipality in the review of its draft Secondary Plan. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions relating to the draft Secondary Plan at 519-873-4031 or by e-mail at Tammie,Ryall @ontario.ca. If you want to discuss how the adoption of the Secondary Plan official plan amendment may relate to the on-going appeal of the new Official Plan please contact our legal counsel Ken Hare at ken.hare @ontario.ca or at 416- 585-6404.

I also understand that MNR will have a formal circulation of the Secondary Plan after the February council meeting. I understand that you were trying to formulate comments on the Secondary Plan in advance of the February 14th meeting. I have very quickly reviewed the plan (due to the very short turn around time required) as well as MNR's previous comments made on December 6, 2012. The MNR has the following comments/ concerns. Figure 4 • MNR provided a number of comments with respect to Figure 4 in December 2012 and the figure has not changed since November 2012. o The Official Plan maps woodlands in Schedule B Map 2. However the Secondary Plan maps Natural Heritage Features under Parks and Open Spaces. To be consistent with the Official Plan the MNR recommends that natural heritage features are mapped in the Secondary Plan. o Also not all natural heritage features within the Secondary Planning Area are covered by the Parks and Open Spaces category. Some lands where natural heritage features are present are being planned for future development, an example being the commercial block shown east of Haven's Lake Road. MNR recommends that where there is an overlap between proposed development and natural heritage features at a minimum there should be an overlay used to show where natural heritage features are known to 08/02/2013 occur. Natural Heritage Features Significant Fish Habitat, Wildlife Habitat, Habitat of Endangered or Threatened Species and ANSIs with regionally rare plant species have all been identified as part of the Natural Heritage resources in Port Glasgow. Please note that valleylands, woodlands and potential wetlands have also been identified in the Port Glasgow Secondary Plan Area. Also MNR recommends the term significant is removed from before fish habitat as this is not consistent with the terminology used in the PPS. • The MNR recommends that Section 3 of the Official Plan is cross referenced within the Secondary Plan and not solely section 5.6. Endangered Species Act, 2007 • The Secondary Plan states "The designation of the settlement area of Port Glasgow under the Endangered Species Act, and the associated habitat regulations which apply to all of the settlement area of Port Glasgow (page 4)". As previously explained in the December 2012 comments the Endangered Species Act does not designate lands. The habitat regulations prescribed under the Endangered Species Act, 2007 outline a geographical area where the species and its habitat may be present. Specifically to Port Glasgow both the Eastern Foxsnake (Carolinian population) and the Gray Ratsnake (Carolinian population) habitat regulations apply. The MNR suggests the following wording change - Habitat regulations are prescribed under the Endangered Species Act, 2007. The habitat regulations for Eastern Foxsnake and Gray Ratsnake identify specific geographic areas within which they apply, including West Elgin. Regulated habitat for Eastern Foxsnake and Gray Ratsnake has been identified within the Port Glasgow Secondary Plan Area. Aggregates Extraction MNR's comments from December 2012 with respect to aggregates in our opinion still have not been addressed. Although the Secondary Plan recognizes the existing operations it is still not clear how the operations have been fully considered in relation to surrounding land uses proposed through the secondary plan. MNR will provide more detailed comments as well as additional comments during the formal circulation when we have a longer period of time to review the information provided. I hope these help provide some context in the interim. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

We would like to commend Seaside for their "extreme patience" in this process. How could this development not be a positive aspect for dying West Elgin business wise. The downtown business' in Rodney are fading quickly. This development could do so much to boost business, create jobs and make people want to live in the area and the list is endless. We have so much to offer in our area. We have a LAKE!!!! Let's take this given and capitalize on it. As presented by Seaside, they will be needing the "surplus land" for proper development of the village centre on both sides of Haven's Road. But we are not understanding the hold up of the decision process. We are so disappointed in the length of time and tax payers money involved in your decision making. SHAME ON YOU FOLKS! Time is ticking and Seaside can only be patient for so long. This has gone on far too long. Firm Supporters for Seaside Development Paul and Elaine Lapadat a RE�IVQ►� FEB 0 2013 ' r .en•�irn�.l1�kn'Yb"E.JT ral�[`•F�IVKfJ �p,� Attention Councilors , Reeve and Norma Bryant of the Municipality of West Elgin, Feb 6/13 In Regards to the Seaside Development , we would like to give our comments. We are in the 12th hour of this process of deciding on the secondary plan. To me it was quite evident at the last meeting Jan 31 that there was a very strong support of the SS development. However the planner seemed to be very decided in his submission of how the project should look, especially in regard to the surplus lands and not allowing retail space to be built on both sides of Havens Road as the SS group would like. Who is the planner in favor of here? He was plainly inattentive to questions, not seeming to hear what people were saying in support of it. He seemed disinterested, as if HIS mind was made up, and there was no use debating it. Why submit this plan only to have it reviewed again, take up more time and spend more money on it, when the secondary plan could be made right, right now. It is out in the whole community that it is plain that the 3 councilors are the main hold up of putting though what SS would like to do. Everyone is talking about it and is very upset to extremely angry that these 3 men can hold the fate of the whole community in their hands. It is very plain to everyone that Norm Miller is very biased towards this project. I sat behind his mother in the meeting and was appalled at her negative comments and heckling of the various people who spoke up in support of it. She continued to boo and make comments like.. "sit down you don't know what you are talking about" ,"you've talked long enough " . She was especially verbal when Gary from Seaside spoke as well as Mike Popovich. At least 15 people near her, all heard these comments she was making, right while the person was speaking. Norm's family is very connected to the yacht club and are clearly against the project. How can Norm take an unbiased opinion, with his family in such non support of this? Norm was also a member of the yacht club and although he may have removed himself of being member it, it is clear beyond belief that he is still unfairly biased against it. And why is the yacht club against it anyway. Do they not want to disturb their private little domain there at the lake where they have power and position? Seaside has addressed many changes the yacht club wanted and has tried to please them. It does not make sense if they are against more people coming to the marina, and more use of the area. They are looking for hundreds of thousands of dollars from the township to expand the marina. That would create more people and traffic and use as well. So what is their problem? Will the 3 councilors against Seaside, put through the funding the yacht club wants without a question? I feel Norm should step away from the SS decision and not be a part of it due to conflict of interest. Richard and Doug seem to follow in Norms shadow and seem not to have the backbone to go up against Norm. A I say shame on all 3 of you councilors. You are defaming your names in this community, and you are losing all respect from the citizens who trusted to put you in power to lead and make the best decisions for this community. Instead you are using your positions to stop the SS project and the consequential renewal of this community, financially, and for the future of everyone and their families in next generations who will benefit by this project, all for their private interests. The issue seems pretty clear. The surplus lands are needed by SS to be able to build up both sides of Havens Lake Road. The planner was still very unclear in answering my question of why is it so important to not allow these lands to be used. He referred to the four points, but they are all not a good enough reason to STOP this development. He is throwing out the baby with the bath water .He said there were submissions that those lands should not be used. Well how many were there and by whom? Just by the response in the room that night it showed there is great support to use those lands. So who's side is the planner taking. It seems quite clear he is as biased as the 3 councilors. They are not taking the opinions of the majority. Tell us how many were against it, and we will show you by all the letters and petitions sighed that there are more for it than against, and that the negative view is outnumbered by the positive view. It is my understanding that Seaside will not go forward with the plan with only half the ability to built it to what it should be, is viable for their investors to accept and to what would be the most pleasing, useful, and accommodating plan. Just by putting forward the plan as it exists would stop the whole project. Obviously this is what the councilors are hoping for. Then they can wash their hands of it, stating . Well we gave them the best option.. but they turned it down.. Oh well... If Seaside actually went forward with the present restrictions of the plan and built half a retail area, and made pedestrian flow almost nonexistent to the shops, how ridiculous that would look to an outside visitor or person wanting to buy one of the luxury condos there. They would just laugh and say... what poor planning was this.. who decided to build it this way. We would be the laughing stock of the province. Well West Elgin sure blew that one! What were they thinking? is that the legacy we want to live with. What worse legacy is the fact that 3 men stopped the best thing that any community could hope for ever? What other community is given such an opportunity as this to become alive again. We should be bending over backwards to make sure Seaside is accommodated. They are not costing this township anything but are going to contribute so much. Our generation and the older people against this project will not be here forever, but this improvement to our area would be, if it is allowed to go forward properly. I plead with all of council, the councilors and the reeve to make the right decision. Do not accept this secondary plan. Allow Seaside to build the way they have presented it to us. Allow the community to vote on this themselves, and not have it left to 3 self serving men who are taking advantage of their positions. Let us assemble at the International Hall for a balloted voting. Regards John and Diane Slaats 22536 Pioneer Line Rodney Ont . 9'; The following pages have been signed in the agreement to the Seaside development plan attached. These people are from the business district of Rodney and surrounding areas. They include people of various jobs and professions. They all agree with the Havens Lake Road project and agree that both sides of the road should be developed as in the Seaside plan. The majority of the people that live in this community are in agreement with this plan with the exception of a few who have their own personal conflict with any type of development. These community members are not thinking of what is best for all. The people are sending a message to council; WE NEED THIS PROJECT? That message was evident in the Public council meeting held at the Rodney Legion on January 31. I know there are other petitions Algid letters in favour of this project as well. The voice of the people needs to be heard by council to encourage them to make the right decision to go ahead with this worthwhile project.

Please reconsider your decisions on restrictions being imposed on the original proposal put forward by Seaside Development. Make this a development that will attract the attention of potential visitors by land and water. Put Port Glasgow on tourism maps and create jobs for our residents, including their families. The amphitheatre and small hotel would provide this area with entertainment and a place for visitors to stay, including those families of children involved in competitive team sports who visit our arenas. Substantial shopping opportunities are always welcome by visitors which can be provided by allowing development of this type on both sides of Havens Lake Road. A wonderful opportunity to stop the decreasing amenities and job potential for our municipality is right here —help us to work with it and make the very best of it. This is not a project that will create pollution problems such as a factory, but will surely enhance what we have, in need of development. We cannot afford more taxes to put funding into our marina development — this project will take care of itself and more. Please give this development as much encouragement as possible. Again, thank you for taking the time to listen, read and consider all presentations.

The proposed clearing of 0.3 hectares (0.74 acres) is on SE 1/4 Lot D, Concession 9, in the Municipality of West Elgin and is for the purpose of increasing farmland and for equipment passage.

This response provides the requested information. The Auditor General's report points out that the OPP has increased the use of overtime by 60%from 2005 to 2012. While this is true, it is important for our municipalities to know that much of this overtime is expended to meet provincial obligations and does not affect the actual cost to the Elgin Group contract. In fact, the Elgin Group overtime has actually been reduced considerably. In 2011, we were able to realize an 18%reduction in overtire for service to the contract and in 2012 we were able to realize a further reduction of 42%. This has been accomplished through a number of efficiencies, one of which speaks to another point in the Auditor General's report,shift schedules, The Auditor General points out that most front line OPP officers work a 12 hour schedule and schedules are not designed to be responsive to peak times for calls for service. Statistics show the peak times for calls for service are 3:00 pm to 10:00 pm. In Elgin County, our officers work a 12 hour schedule; however,we also have a 3:00 pin to 3:00 am shift to overlap the day shift providing additional officers during peak times for calls for service and reducing the number of officers working from 3:00 am to 6:00 am. This shift also reduces the use of overtime because officers working the three to three shifts can answer calls that conic in close to 6:00 pm when the day shift is going off duty,eliminating the need for officers to stay on overtime. believe a reduction of 42%for the use of overtime towards the Elgin Group contract is an incredible achievement and demonstrates the OPP's commitment to maximize effectiveness and find efficiencies while still providing an excellent service to our communities. Soon I will be providing you with the 2012 year-end report. The report will provide a comparison for the previous three years,as well as specific details of the service you have received in 2012. 1 believe the report is very positive and highlights the dedication and commitment of the officers and staff at Elgin County OPP. 1 look forward to the opportunity to present the report to each municipal council in the near future.

This poses a heavy burden on already strained municipal budgets and is unmanageable over the long term. Through LAS'educational partnership with Frank Cowan Company,this session will address some key causes of rising insurance costs and offer suggestions to help municipalities meet their statutory duty of care and lower the'cost of risk'. Municipal Group Benefit Cost Trends and How to Manage Them 11:30 — 12:15pm In this session Mosey a Mosey,LAS'Group Benefits Program partner,will present ideas on how to manage your group benefits costs.

Good Morning, Ann: Further to my visit and conversation with you yesterday(Monday) please see two(2) attachments and my notes below regarding support for kids safety, for Council' s consideration at the upcoming meeting. Last time (2011) the Council supported 70 children for the Ambulance services initiative, for which we are grateful. My name is Dave Leisemer of Community Safety Net. I am working with Jim Malik and his team on Personal Safety for children ages 9-12 throughout the entire county. Jim has excellent resources to execute the campaign, online resources, posters and an "award winning" family book and interactive DVD that ultimately needs to be in the hands of as many 9-12 year old children as possible. The book is 100+ pages and the DVD features a teenage host who teaches the kids how to avoid dangerous situations. So whether they are online, home alone, being bullied at school or being offered drugs-they will always know how to be safe. Parents learn about helpful websites, first aid tips and fingerprinting. Once the kids get through the material, there is a safety report contest where they can win a computer! I hope it pleases council that this material is available and Jim Malik and his team are eager to do their part in educating the community and their children. If there are any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Kindly, consider carefully.

This year I would like to have it on Saturday June 15ffi at the park so it can be expanded with a breakfast and venders. I was wondering if we could have the community center with the cost being donated so a breakfast could be offered to the car people and also the public. Since the show is put on all for charity for the children. The time of the park hours I am looking for is 6a.m. to 3 p.m. The following is the events of the day: Car Show 8a.m. - 3 p.m. Breakfast 8 a.m.- - 10 a.m. Food booth 10a.m. - 2 p.m. ( foot long hot dogs, French fries, ice cream floats, pop and water) all proceeds going to the children's charity. I do need to get on the project right away since there is a lot to do . So if you would consider this event for the town and let me know what your answer is as soon as possible I would appreciate it greatly.

CARRIED. i I call West Elgin home and I would like to see in my community,employment oppornirdties for our residents including jobs for our students as well.I.would like to see the business community in our town thrive and expand,not wonder if they will get through another month without closing doors! It would be wonderful to attract more Young families to our area and to offer hope for a new generation to find out that this can be a great place to raise a family. Seaside Developments had demonstrated a clear concise plan for development in our community that includes carefully designed details including green space(parkland), state of the art wastewater treatment plant,commercial properties that entices tourism,a variety of residential living spaces and ample parking. All aspects of community have been articulated in their land use plan. Why are we not welcoming this developer with open arms into our community? Seaside has a vision,the plan and the financial mean_s to create something that can swing the pendulum in the other direction for us all in West Elgin. Their plan promises to offer an excellent source of tax revenue for the municipality that can be returned to the community as improvements to our existing public buildings, local programs and infrastructure. It promises to provide much needed jobs to construction workers,trades people and entrepreneurs,not to mention tourism dollars in the community and a desirable place to live_ In short it holds the key to revitalizing downtown Rodney and West Lorne. Howard Culligan and his representatives offered their perspective at a recent local gathering. Howard advised it was a!myth that Seaside was looking for financial support from the municipality or taxpayers in order to achieve their goals_ They explained how they have tried accommodating added and changing directives as the plan moves forward with many revisions to their land use plan. Additionally,Seaside conformed that they are not asking for anything to be given.to them for free by the municipality. A contentious issue is 1.5 acres that is a strip of land along either side of Haven's Lake Road owned by the municipality and described as surplus lands. Seaside would like to purchase these surplus lands and has offered to,at a fair market value. Without it their vision is incomplete. In exchange,they have offeied back 5 acres of land they own to be maintained as public land with walking trails which they agree to build. Let's not miss an opportunity to be the next success story in southwestern Ontario! Let's embrace an opportunity right in front of us. Let's support growth and development! i cal!

It would be wonderful to attract more young families to our area and to offer hope for a new generation to fund out that this can be a great place to raise a family. Seaside Developments had demonstrated a clear concise plan for development in our community that includes carefully designed details including green space(parkland), state of the art wastewater treatment plant, commercial properties that entices tourism, a variety of residential living spaces and ample parking. All aspects of community have been articulated in their land use plan. Why are we not welcoming this developer with open arms into our community? Seaside has a vision,the plan and the financial means to create something that can swing the pendulum; in the other direction for us all in West Elgin. Their plan promises to offer an excellent source of tax revenue for the municipality that can be returned to the community as improvements to our existing public buildings, local programs and infrastructure. It promises to provide much needed jobs to construction workers, trades people and entrepreneurs,not to mention tourism dollars in the community and a desirable place to live. In short it holds the key to revitalizing downtown Rodney and West Lorne. Howard Culligan and his representatives offered their perspective at a recent Iocal gathering. Howard advised it was a myth that Seaside was looking for financial support from the municipality or taxpayers in order to achieve their goals. They explained how they have tried accommodating added and changing directives as the plan moves forward with many revisions to their land use plan. Additionally, Seaside confirmed that they are not asking for anything to be given to there for free by the municipality. A contentious issue is I.5 acres that is a strip of land along either side of Haven's Lake Road owned by the municipality and described as surplus lands.
