The owners are seeking permission to construct a new single unit detached dwelling in approximately the same location as the former dwelling.While Section 4.7 of the By-law permits the replacement of non-complying buildings and structures which have been destroyed "by fire or Act of God",the replacement of a single detached dwelling remains subject to the regulations of the Residential First Density(R1)Zone.The new dwelling is proposed to be erected 4.0 metres(13 ft)from the front lot line whereas a minimum front yard depth of 7.5 metres (24.6 ft) is required (Section 5.1.9).The variance, if granted, would be subject to such conditions as the Committee of Adjustment deems necessary or reasonable in the circumstances.

Correspondence was received from the Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority which indicated no objection. The proposed amendment would change the zoning of the lands lying on the south side of Silver Clay Line east of Graham Road (County Road No. 76)from the`site-specific' Agricultural (A14)Zone to the Rural Residential Two (RR2)Zone. The amendment would fulfill a condition imposed by the Ontario Municipal Board in allowing an appeal against a decision of the County of Elgin Land Division Committee (Application for Consent E100/12)to divide the subject lands into three smaller parcels. The lands proposed to be rezoned Rural Residential Two(RR2)comprise the northerly portion of the afore-mentioned three recently created lots.The two easternmost lots each have an area of 4,947 square metres(1.2 ac), a frontage of 45.7 metres (150 ft) and a depth of 108 metres(355 ft). The lots are vacant and it is intended that they would be developed for residential purposes, namely,the erection of a single unit dwelling. The westernmost lot has an area of 9,525 square metres (2.4 acres), a frontage of 87.8 metres(288 ft) and a depth of 108 metres(355 ft). The lot is occupied by a single unit dwelling and a shop/warehouse out of which is operated a small construction contractor's yard. Permitted uses of the RR2 zone include a single unit detached dwelling, home occupation and an accessory use. The rear or southerly portion of the subject lands is zoned Rural Residential Two(RR2), dating back to 1990 when the lands were added to the northerly parcel and merged as one lot.The RR2 on this portion of the lands is not changing. November 14/13...Pg 2 of 2 The subject lands are designated 'Agricultural' in the recently approved County of Elgin Official Plan and are designated 'Rural Residential' in the Municipality of West Elgin Official Plan.

As they are the council reps on the Chamber, I included Dug and Norm in my email to the executive members. I thought the report would be of interest to council and mentioned to Scott the day of the Expo that I would send a copy of my report to you for inclusion in council packets. I trust this is agreeable. My sincere thanks again to the West Elgin administration, council, and public works department for all of their support and time to help ensure this was once again a very successful event in our community! Kind regards, Karen ------------------------------------------------------- 2013 Western Elgin Community Expo This year's Community Expo was definitely a success, to which the almost 300 people who attended would attest! There were eight sponsors of the one-day event, namely: the Municipality of West Elgin, the Municipality of Dutton/Dunwich, Elgin County, West Elgin Mutual Insurance, The West Elgin Chronicle, The Lake Erie Beacon, Easy101 fm, and the West Elgin Chamber of Commerce. The"Why 1 Love Western Elgin" photo contest was sponsored by the Elgin Business Resource Centre and a pumpkin decorating contest for kids was sponsored by Erie Gardens. There were four on-stage presentations, as well as numerous draws held throughout the day. The Expo activities also included noontime greetings by five dignitaries. As time was short, the event was very widely advertized in a variety of ways: print media (West Elgin Chronicle, Lake Erie Beacon, St. Thomas Weekly News, Tillsonburg News, Chatham Daily News, Petrolia Topic, The London Free Press, Relish Elgin); event posters; broadcast media (Easy101 fm --88 ads aired from Oct. 12 to Oct. 19 inclusive); social media (Twitter, Facebook, online blogs); outdoor signage (in West Elgin, in Dutton/Dunwich, Elgin International Club sign); OMAFRA; municipal websites (West Elgin, Dutton/Dunwich, Southwest Middlesex); various other online calendars; and word-of-mouth advertizing. I used two main taglines for the event in all advertizing: "Shop Local-Serve Local"and "Come See Why the West is Best!" The 56 exhibitors were drawn from both municipalities and included storefront and home-based businesses, service clubs and organizations, horticultural societies, and women's institutes, to give the public a general overview of what is available in our local communities. The exhibitors set up the morning of the event, which worked quite well for all, as the tables were set-up the day before by members of the West Elgin Public Works department, members of West Elgin Council, the West Elgin CAO, a director of the Elgin International Club, members of the Dutton/Dunwich roads department, and myself. During the morning, free coffee and muffins were available for the exhibitors until 11 AM; lunch being available for purchase from the Elgin International Club thereafter. West Elgin Chamber of Commerce President Bill Denning acted as MC for the day. At 4 PM, the exhibitors began taking down their displays, and as I had promised the International Club directors when 1 met with them in early August, their building was left in the exact condition in which it had been the morning of the previous day. As well, to accommodate all of the exhibitors, West Elgin Chamber Vice President Robert White made arrangements to borrow 12 tables from George Nute. Robert delivered these and the West Elgin Public Works Department returned them. Although not all of the invoices have been received at this point, as of Oct. 27, the income and expense breakdown is as follows: Income: f 1500- Municipality of West Elgin 1500 -Municipality of Dutton/Dunwich 750-Elgin County 200-West Elgin Mutual Insurance 200-EBRC 620-table rental fees 4770 Expenses: (as of Oct 27) 534.00-St Thomas Weekly News ad 114.13-Sign Guy(75 posters &artwork) 544.66 -Tillsonburg News ad 994.40-Easy101 fm (88 radio ads) 508.50-LFP ad 40.68- Municipal World (ballot boxes) 100.00-George Nute(honorarium) 200.00-photo contest prize money 339.00 -Chronicle 60.00-Mickey`s Diner(muffins) 75.00-coffee for exhibitors'set-up 678.00- hall rental 452.00-Lake Erie Beacon (ad) 4640.37 Yet to be invoiced for the following: Post-event thank you ads in The West Elgin Chronicle, The Lake Erie Beacon, and The St. Thomas Weekly News; and Expo event sponsor table signs by The Sign Guy.

October 15,2013 Mr.Michael Barrett President&CEO South West Local Health Integrated Network 201 Queens Avenue,Suite 700 London,ON NSA V1 Dear Mr.Barrett: R,Os Fo0r_CoUta Health Services Adult Day Program Allocation it was a distinct pleasure meeting with you on October 10,2011 Thank you as well for taking the time out of your hectic schedule to participate in our Accreditation site review. One of the matters we'discussed during our meeting on the 131 pertained to Adult Day Program.. pour Counties Health Services opened its doors to patients in 296&.Since that time the hospital has enjoyed a rich history of working with and-for the residents of its surrounding communities with providing excellence In'healthcare: to Its patients This pride In the delivery of care is evident through the consistent approval rate given by Accreditation Canada, the organization that reviews-the quality and content of clinical care provided by the; hospital. More importantly it is evidenced by the degree of pride and ownership our constituents have in the organization and the exceptional care experience delivered by our passionate staff. The pour Counties.Health Services site (FCHS)of the Middlesex Hospital Alllance,has an excellent track record In providing programming to the residents of the community which allows them to remain in their homes to the greatest extent possible. Two examples of programs offered at FCHS are: 2. Out Patient Physiotherapy 2. Adult Day Program (ADP) The Adult Day Program (ADP)was introduced approximately 20 years ago and since that time, has enjoyed consistent support of the communities. Over the years, the demographics of the area have changed. As a result and as the residents of our communities'age,there is an even greater need for the ADP. This program not only provides stimulation for housebound,Isolated clients, it provides the opportunity for the provision of bettc hygienic care and ensures hot meals for individuals that are no longer able to complete this task independently, The ADP Connecting with the Future of Care V +i began as a 3 day/week program but quickly grew to 4 days/week as client needs expanded. The communities have supported the concept of this program through their attendance. Initially 45 clienVspaces were available per week, 20 years agd the progtam expanded to offer 20 additional spaces in order to provide support for a growing Alahelmees population. The purpose of the correspondence today is to share with you our growing concern with continuing to provide this important program to our community and the proposed restructuring of ADP's. FCHS has proudly participated In the recent community consultations led by the SWEHIN and CCAC(for the purpose of designing a regional approach to ADP and the restructuring of access for clients of SWI.HIN)which have been ongoing for the past year. This consultation period Is approaching its and point,however the outcome of the consultation has created concerns on our part about the quality of the program that we would be able to offer to the communities and clients moving forward. Our primary concerns are the number of days the program Is offered at FCHS, the cost of program per client,the content of the program and the transportation available for the clients. Currently we offer our program 4 days:per week. in the new model we would be expected to decrease our program to 3 days per week. It is my understanding that a decision has been rendered to augment the Gabler/Terrace lodge located in Dutton ON and erode our program. i am unaware as to the rationale for compromising the integrity of our program as we are scheduled to lose`approximately 500 spaces per annum which equates to-approximately 2S%-of our progom voluines. I have been advised that currently Gabler provides a program two days per week with only one day optimally occupied. I have further been apprised that Gabler has expressed surprise at the Increase of one day per week.When my team voiced its concern to the consultation team It was indicated that the patients would be eligible to attend a fourth day usually offered by FCHS at Bobier. Unfortunately this rationale Is problematic as transportation is an issue.(Please see the explanation below): Transportadon for our clients is provided through municipal support at a significantly reduced rate of$S.00 per trip. The municipalities that provide our transportation have clearly Indicated that the bus will not transport clients to Gabler located.In Dutton/Ounwlch,as the municipality In which Gabler is located does not financially support the transit operation. The transit bus provides the necessary transportation for our clients of the ADP program, hospital visits and visits to the FCMC clinic. The municipalities that financially support this mode of transportation only offer their residents this transportation service. This will mean that clients who wish to attend the program at Gabler will need to rely on family/friends for transportation. It Is unreasonable to assume that clients will opt to travel to Gabler. The current ml of the daily program at FCHS Is $19.00. The recommendation of the committee reviewing the ADI)s is that the cast of our service be reduced to$10.00 per day as the Intent>is to standardize the daily rate across the board to $10.This would be the cost of daily attendance without any additional services. At our current rate, FCHS is able to provide 2 o foot care,bathing services and a hot meal to our clients.Going forward the direction has clearly been given that neither That care or bathing will be provided to clients unless an additional fee Is charged. -The new fee outlined for foot care will be$25.00. For many of ourclients,access. to a tub Is problematic in their homes. We have the necessary equipment to assist clients with getting Into and out of a tub as well as providing a tub of adequate sire for our clients. Please note that many of our clients are diabetic, therefore the need for font care is critical to the maintenance of good foot health. The proposed cost of$25.00 per client is a cost that many of our clients cannot afford. Currently FCHS provides a hat meal for our clleehts. The newly proposed fee of$113.00/day will not allow us to continue the practice of providing a hot meal to the clients attending the ADP. Currendy the cost of a hot meal is$7.00. Meals will be reduced to provide a.sandwich for clients and perhaps soup.While.this may be a sufficient lunch for independent adults,the ADP clients do not go home to a hot meal at dinner time. for many the hot meal that Is provided Is the only hot meal that they are able to receive,sometimes for the whole week.. H115 serves rural communities where clients do not always have the benefit of accessing services readily. We take that Into consideration with►regards to the program content that we provide our clients. The program changes being planned for the ADP places significant restdWons on our program content,the frequency that the client Is able to access the program and ensuring the support of a fragile population in maintaining their health and Independence in their own homes rather than moving towards retirement or nursing home placement prematurely, It.is our hope that additional consideration to the program changes directed towards FCFiS will be considered by the SWURIN to ensure the clients of our catchment area continue to have access to the some quality of program that they currently enjoy. Thank you for the thoughtful attention that you have given to this issue through your consultative approach as wail as the anticipated review of our request.

I enclose a copy of Resolution No. 2013-391 which requests the assistance of the Province of Ontario and Premier Wynne to abolish the proposed billing model. ..Yours truly, David Conn, Mayor Encl. cc: All Municipalities with a permanent population of 10,000 or less; The Honourable Madeleine Meilleur, Minister of Community Safety & Correctional Services, The Honourable ,john Gerretsen, Attorney General of Ontario; The Federation of Northern.Ontario Municipalities (FONOM); Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMOj; Bonnie Lysyk, Auditor.General of Ontario. i 1 Resolution No, M i e a I r a° The Corporation of ' N the Township of Seguin Moved by Seconded by Date_Npvember l WHEREAS, the Ontario Provincial Police are proposing a new billing model for charging municipalities for policing services, starting in 2015; AND WHEREAS, the current billing model is a deployment model, In which cost recovery Is based on percentage of detachment workload, actual detachment staffing levels, wages and benefits, and a cost recovery component for other expenditures, which model has been in place for over 15 years; AND WHEREAS, the new methodology would charge each municlpality a flat $260 per household fee for the base costs related to providing police services, plus a variable charge for each call for service in that municipallty. The rationale for this Is that there is a base fixed cost for providing police services that must be borne by all participating municipalities, regardless of the number of calls for service that the OPP responds to In each municipality. The OPP have advised that 73% of their costs are fixed (i.e. base costs) and 27% are variable; AND WHEREAS, the actual speclflcs of the cost for the calls for service have not been released or calculated, the OPP has estimated that the average cost per household In Ontario for policing services, including both the base cost and the calls for service, would be approximately $369; AND WHEREAS, this model would see the OPP costs for West Parry Sound municipalities increase from $3.412,189 (per 2012 FIR) to $6,537,204, an Increase of$3,125,015 or 92%; AND WHEREAS, this model.would see OPP costs increase for Seguin Township from $592,659 (per 2012 FIR) to $1,759,392, an Increase of$1,166,733 or 197%; AND WHEREAS, this model is fundamentally flawed, unfair and inequitable. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Province of Ontario and Premier Wynne cannot allow this type of unfair treatment towards rural Ontario, and this funding TOwnshlp of Seguin Resolution No. 2013-391 page 2 model be scrapped immediately. AND FURTHER THAT this resolution be forwarded to The Honourable Kathleen Wynne, Premier of Ontario, The Honourable Madeleine Meilleur, Minister of Community Safety &Correctional Services, The Honourable John Gerretsen, Attorney General of Ontario..
