(a) Purpose of the Application:
The applicant is requesting relief from the above noted section of the Town Zoning By-law to
facilitate the residential conversion of the upper level of the existing commercial building. The ground floor of the existing building is occupied by a business use, and one residential unit is already present in the upper level of the building. The applicant is seeking the above noted
relief to facilitate the conversion of the remaining commercial space on the upper level. Due to the size and footprint of the existing building and parking areas, relief of the Zoning By-Law is required.
The subject property comprises approximately 447.5 m2 (4,817 ft2) and contains a two storey
commercial building. As indicated above, two residential dwelling units are proposed to be
created in the vacant commercial space on the upper level of the existing building. No exterior alterations or changes are required to accommodate the proposed dwelling units.
Plate 1, Location Map with Existing Zoning, shows the location of the subject property and the zoning in the immediate vicinity.
Plate 2, 2015 Aerial Photo, shows the location of the subject lands and surrounding properties.
Plate 3, Applicant’s Sketch, depicts the size and dimensions of the proposed dwelling units within the upper floor of the existing commercial building.
(b) Agency Comments:
The application was circulated to a number of public agencies. The following comments were received.
The Town Building Services Department indicated that the proposed dwelling units will require building permits, and all construction must comply with the provisions of the Ontario Building
Code.
The Town Engineering Services Department and County Public Works Department had no
concerns with the proposal.
(c) Public Consultation:
Public Notice was mailed to surrounding property owners on June 2, 2017. As of the writing of this report, no comments or concerns had been received from the public.
(d) Intent and Purpose of the Official Plan:
The subject property is located within the ‘Central Business District’ according to the Official Plan. The ‘Central Business District’ is intended to be the most intensive, functionally diverse business, cultural and administrative centre in the Town. As such, the full range of commercial,
office, administrative, cultural, entertainment, recreation, institutional and open space uses are permitted. Within the Central Area, a strategic goal of the Official Plan is to increase residential
density. Residential units are permitted as accessory uses in non-residential buildings within
23
File Number: A-03/17 Report Number 2017-172 Page 3
the Central Business District. The use of the lands for a professional office with accessory residential dwelling units conforms to the ’Central Business District’ policies of the Official Plan
(e) Intent and Purpose of the Zoning By-law:
The subject property is zoned ‘Central Commercial Zone (CC)’ according to the Town of Tillsonburg Zoning By-law. While there are no provisions for lot area, frontage, depth, front yard
depth, or exterior and interior side yard widths for non-residential uses in the ‘CC’ zone, residential uses are required to maintain minimum amenity area standards.
The purpose of the minimum amenity area provision is to provide appropriate recreational and outdoor living space for the occupants of the dwelling unit.
To encourage residential development and redevelopment within the Central Business District, Section 5.24.5 of the Zoning By-law provides that no additional parking spaces are required for
any change of use within an existing building in the Central Commercial Zone. As such, the
applicant is not required to provide any additional parking for the two additional dwelling units within the existing building.
In this case, given the location of the subject property in the Central Area, it is anticipated that although amenity area cannot be provided onsite due to the location and size of the existing
building, the amenities, services, and green space available in the broader Central Area are expected to be sufficient for the occupants of the dwelling and this arrangement is not dissimilar to other dwelling units in non-residential buildings throughout the Central Area.
(f) Desirable Development/Use:
It is the opinion of this Office that the applicant’s request can be considered minor and desirable for the development of the subject property.
Although no amenity area will be provided onsite, there are considerable off-site amenities
within the Central Area and surrounding green space and passive trails in the vicinity. The
applicant’s request can also be considered desirable as it will facilitate the creation of two dwelling units that is consistent with the policy direction of the Official Plan to increase the
residential density of the Central Area.
In light of the foregoing, it is the opinion of this Office that the requested relief is in keeping with
the general intent and purpose of the County Official Plan and Town Zoning By-law and should be given favourable consideration.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Town of Tillsonburg Committee of Adjustment approve Application File A-03/17,
submitted by JV Inc., for lands described as Part Lot 1106, Plan 500, in the Town of Tillsonburg,
as it relates to:
1. Relief from Section 13.2, Table 13.2 – Central Commercial Zone Provisions, to
decrease the minimum required amenity area from 40 m2 per dwelling unit to nil, to
24
File Number: A-03/17 Report Number 2017-172 Page 4
facilitate the creation of 2 residential units on the upper floor of an existing commercial building.
Subject to the following condition:
i. A building permit for the proposed dwelling units shall be issued within one year of the date of the Committee's decision.
As the proposed variance is: (i) a minor variance from the provisions of the Town of Tillsonburg Zoning By-law No. 3295;
(ii) desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land;
(iii) in-keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Town of Tillsonburg Zoning By-law No. 3295; and
(iv) in-keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan.

OWNER: Cindy Janke-Mendler 113 Brock Street East, Tillsonburg ON, N4G 2A1
APPLICANT: Simon Wagler
52489 Glencolin Line, Aylmer ON, N5H 2R3
REQUESTED VARIANCES:
1. Relief from Section 6.2, Table 6.2 – Zone Provisions, to increase the maximum permitted lot coverage of an ‘R1’ zoned lot from 33% to 34.7% of the lot area; and,
2. Relief from Section 6.2, Table 6.2 – Zone Provisions, to reduce the minimum required
rear yard depth from 12 m (39.3 ft) to 10.5 m (34.5 ft), to facilitate the construction of a
single detached dwelling.
LOCATION:
The subject property is described as Part Block A, Plan 500, Part 2 of 41R-9244 in the Town of
Tillsonburg. The property is located on the west side of Maple Lane, south of Brock Street East,
and is municipally known as 3 Maple Lane.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
COUNTY OF OXFORD OFFICIAL PLAN: Schedule ‘T-1’ Town of Tillsonburg Land Use Plan Residential
Schedule ‘T-2’ Town of Tillsonburg Residential Density Plan Low Density Residential
TOWN OF TILLSONBURG ZONING BY-LAW: Low Density Residential Type 1 Zone (R1) SURROUNDING USES: Low density residential uses to the south, west and east, consisting of

File Number: A-04/17 Report Number 2017-170 Page 2
COMMENTS:
(a) Purpose of the Application:
The applicant is requesting relief from the above noted sections of the Town Zoning By-law to
facilitate the construction of a one-storey single detached dwelling. Due to the design of the proposed dwelling and the curved design of Maple Lane relief of the Zoning By-Law is required.
The subject property comprises approximately 529.3 m2 (5,697 ft2) and is currently vacant. The subject property was created through a severance in 2015 (B15-05-7 & A15-01-7). As indicated above, a single detached dwelling is proposed to be constructed on the property.
Plate 1, Location Map (with Existing Zoning and Parcel Lines), shows the location of the subject
property and the zoning in the immediate vicinity.
Plate 2, 2015 Aerial Photo, shows the location of the subject lands and surrounding properties.
Plate 3, Applicant’s Site Sketch, shows the dimensions and setbacks of the proposed single detached dwelling.
(b) Agency Comments:
The application was circulated to a number of public agencies. The following comments were received.
The Town Engineering Services Department indicated that a preliminary lot grading plan will be required in conjunction with a building permit application to ensure adequate drainage is
provided. The Town Building Services Department and County Public Works Department had no
concerns with the proposal.
(c) Public Consultation:
Public Notice was mailed to surrounding property owners on June 2, 2017. As of the writing of
this report, no comments or concerns had been received from the public.
(d) Intent and Purpose of the Official Plan:
The subject lands are designated ‘Low Density Residential’ according to the Official Plan. Within the ‘Low Density Residential’ designation, permitted land uses primarily consist of low density
housing forms including single detached dwellings, duplexes and street fronting town houses as
well as accessory uses thereto. The use of the lands for a single detached dwelling conforms to the ‘Low Density Residential’ policies of the Official Plan.
(e) Intent and Purpose of the Zoning By-law:
The subject property is zoned ‘Low Density Residential Type 1 Zone (R1)’, which permits a
single detached dwelling. The ‘R1’ zone also permits a maximum total lot coverage (including
34
File Number: A-04/17 Report Number 2017-170 Page 3
accessory buildings/structures) of 33% and a minimum rear yard depth of 12 m (39.3 ft). In this case, the applicant proposes a total maximum lot coverage of 34.7% and a minimum rear yard
depth of 10.5 m (34.5 ft).
The purpose of the lot coverage provision is to limit the extent of buildings/structures on a lot to
ensure sufficient area is maintained for parking and private amenity area as well as ensuring the general lot grading for the overall subdivision and the individual lot are not negatively impacted. The lot coverage provision also ensures that the general scale of development is consistent and
appropriate for the size of the lot. No detached accessory structures were included on the applicant’s sketch.
The intent of the rear yard depth provision is to ensure that single detached dwellings maintain sufficient setback to provide a buffer for neighbouring properties, adequate recreational and
amenity area, and proper area for drainage.
In this case, it is not anticipated that the minor increase in lot coverage will have a negative
impact on lot grading or drainage. A preliminary lot grading plan will be reviewed as part of the
building permit process to ensure the proposal will have no negative impacts on neighbouring properties.
(f) Desirable Development/Use:
It is the opinion of this Office that the applicant’s request can be considered minor and desirable for the development of the subject property.
As the proposed relief is not anticipated to impact the ability of the property to provide adequate parking and amenity space, or negatively impact drainage, the requested relief can be
considered minor. Sufficient separation with also be provided from property lines to allow for normal building maintenance and access. The applicant’s request can also be considered desirable as it will facilitate the construction of a single detached dwelling that is consistent with
the existing development in the area.
In light of the foregoing, it is the opinion of this Office that the requested relief is in keeping with
the general intent and purpose of the County Official Plan and Town Zoning By-law and should be given favourable consideration.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Town of Tillsonburg Committee of Adjustment approve Application File A-04/17,
submitted by Simon Wagler, for lands described as Part Block A, Plan 507, Part 2 of 41R-9244, Town of Tillsonburg, as it relates to:
1. Relief from Section 6.2, Table 6.2 – Zone Provisions, to increase the maximum
permitted lot coverage of an ‘R1’ zoned lot from 33% to 34.7% of the lot area; and,
2. Relief from Section 6.2, Table 6.2 – Zone Provisions,to reduce the minimum required rear yard depth from 12 m (39.3 ft) to 10.5 m (34.5 ft), to facilitate the construction of a
single detached dwelling.
Subject to the following condition:
35
File Number: A-04/17 Report Number 2017-170 Page 4

TOWN OF TILLSONBURG ZONING BY-LAW 3295:
Existing Zoning: Medium Density Residential Zone (RM)
PROPOSAL:
An application for Draft Condominium Approval has been received by the Town of Tillsonburg and the County of Oxford. The applicant proposes to convert the tenure of the 40 residential
units from rental to condominium ownership.
The subject property is approximately 4,127 m2 (1.02 ac) in area and contains a 5-storey
building (circa. 1976) comprising one (1) bachelor unit, one (1) 1-bedroom unit, eighteen (18) 2-
bedroom units, twenty (20) 3-bedroom units, and forty (40) parking spaces. The lands are zoned ‘Medium Density Residential (RM)’ according to the Town of Tillsonburg Zoning By-law,
which permits multi-unit residential uses.
Plate 1, Location Map with Existing Zoning, indicates the location of the subject property and the
zoning in the immediate area. Plate 2, 2015 Air Photo, provides an aerial view of the subject lands and surrounding area.
Plate 3, Ground Floor Plan, depicts the layout of the first floor of the proposed condominium.
Plate 4, 2nd-5th Floor Plan, depicts the layout of the second-fifth floors of the proposed condominium.
Comments PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT:
The 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial
interest related to land use planning and development. Under Section 3 of the Planning Act,
where a municipality is exercising its authority affecting a planning matter, such decisions “shall be consistent with” all policy statements issued under the Act.
Policies within the PPS direct municipalities to provide for a range of housing types and densities to meet the needs of current and future residents as well as promoting compact built
form of development. The policies also advise municipalities to permit and facilitate all forms of
housing to meet the social, health and well-being or current and future residents and promoting residential intensification where it can be accommodated taking into account existing building
stock, efficient use of infrastructure and public service facilities and where it does not impact on
natural environmental features.
OFFICIAL PLAN: The subject property is located within the Medium Density Residential designation according to
the Town of Tillsonburg Residential Density Plan in the Official Plan.
Section 8.2.2.2 of the Official Plan contains policies where Town Council can encourage the
creation of housing opportunities within the Town that may result in a mix of tenure forms, such
Page 2 of 7 46
Report No: CP 2017-175 COMMUNITY PLANNING
Council Date: June 12, 2017
as ownership, rental and cooperative units. Further to this, the policies also contain criteria as a
guide when considering applications to convert from rental to ownership tenure as follows:
• the vacancy rate for similar unit types which are available at a similar level of rent, as determined using CMHC information, is 3% or greater;
• whether the proposal will add to the affordable housing stock and the proportion of similarly priced ownership housing in the housing market;
• minimize hardship for existing tenants and the potential for displacement;
• the proposal complies with all residential development standards, the maintenance and
occupancy by-law and design standards;
• the proposal complies with the Ontario Building and Fire Codes or is proposed to be
upgraded in accordance with such standards or requirements.
ZONING BY-LAW:
The subject property is zoned ‘Medium Density Residential Zone (RM)’ according to the Town’s Zoning By-Law.
The existing building and site complies with the minimum required lot frontage, lot depth, front yard depth, rear yard depth, interior side yard width and maximum lot coverage as per the RM
zone. The proposal does not comply with the minimum lot area, minimum required parking spaces,
and one unit does not meet the minimum required gross floor area. Town staff have confirmed that these deficiencies are considered to be legal non-conforming and it appears the site has functioned well notwithstanding these deficiencies.
AGENCY REVIEW:
The development proposal was circulated to various agencies considered to have an interest in the proposal. The following comments were received:
The Town Engineering Services Department provided the following comments:
• Easement will be required over the existing electrical plant to the point of demarcation in
the favour of Tillsonburg Hydro Inc.;
• Only one County water meter will be permitted per condominium property. Secondary
meters may be installed for the convenience of the Owner at the Owner’s expense;
• The applicant should be aware that the private water system onsite shall be separate
from the municipal drinking water system. The applicant is advised that they are the
responsible operator under the Safe Drinking Water Act Regulations for systems on private property.
The Town Building Services Department indicated that a site inspection will be required to verify the findings in the consultant’s Building Condition Assessment report, and any deficiencies
noted must be corrected prior to final approval. Tillsonburg Hydro Inc. indicated that appropriate easements, relating to hydro infrastructure will be required for the proposed change in tenure.
Bell Canada indicated that the following paragraph is to be included as a condition of approval:
Page 3 of 7 47
Report No: CP 2017-175 COMMUNITY PLANNING
Council Date: June 12, 2017
“The Owner shall indicate in the Agreement, in words satisfactory to Bell Canada, that it will
grant to Bell Canada any easements that may be required, which may include a blanket
easement, for communication/telecommunication infrastructure. In the event of any conflict with existing Bell Canada facilities or easements, the Owner shall be responsible for the relocation of
such facilities or easements”.
We hereby advise the Developer to contact Bell Canada during detailed design to confirm the
provision of communication/telecommunication infrastructure needed to service the
development.
As you may be aware, Bell Canada is Ontario’s principal telecommunications infrastructure
provider, developing and maintaining an essential public service. It is incumbent upon the
Municipality and the Developer to ensure that the development is serviced with communication/telecommunication infrastructure. In fact, the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement
(PPS) requires the development of coordinated, efficient and cost-effective infrastructure,
including telecommunications systems (Section 1.6.1).
The Developer is hereby advised that prior to commencing any work, the Developer must
confirm that sufficient wire-line communication/telecommunication infrastructure is available. In
the event that such infrastructure is unavailable, the Developer shall be required to pay for the connection to and/or extension of the existing communication/telecommunication infrastructure.
If the Developer elects not to pay for the above noted connection, then the Developer will be
required to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Municipality that sufficient alternative communication/telecommunication will be provided to enable, at a minimum, the effective
delivery of communication/telecommunication services for emergency management services (i.e., 911 Emergency Services).
Other circulated agencies indicated no concern with the proposal.
Planning Analysis
The approval of an application for draft plan of condominium generally involves a process
similar to subdivision approval where, after appropriate circulation of the proposal, an applicant
receives 'draft' approval which is contingent on the applicant satisfying a number of conditions prior to final approval and registration.
It is Planning staff’s opinion that the application is in conformity with the policies of the PPS in that the application provides for a different form of housing to meet the long term social needs of
the current and future residents.
In terms of Official Plan policy, the average vacancy rate in the latest survey for a one-bedroom
apartment unit in Tillsonburg is 1.7%, and 4.0% for a two-bedroom unit according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Rental Market Report for the fall of 2016. Although the average private
apartment vacancy rate in Tillsonburg as determined by CMHC in fall 2016 is 3.2%, greater than
the 3% ‘base’ as set out in the Official Plan policies, Planning staff note an additional number of criteria are to be considered when assessing conversion applications.
In addition to the private apartment vacancy rate, CMHC also publishes the availability rate of units that provide an indication of the availability of units rental units in the short term (i.e. units
that will be available within 30-60 days). This information was not tracked by the CMHC at the time that the current Official Plan policies regarding vacancy rates were adopted by Council. It
Page 4 of 7 48
Report No: CP 2017-175 COMMUNITY PLANNING
Council Date: June 12, 2017
is the opinion of this Office that the use of ‘availability rates’ together with vacancy provides
additional guidance when considering applications for conversion from rental to condominium tenure. Having said this, according to the CMHC data the availability rate for similar units over the same two vacancy survey average is 3.4% for a one-bedroom unit and 5.3% for a two-
bedroom unit. It is of note that availability rate in October 2016 was greater than the 3.0 % base as set out in the Official Plan.
The applicant has provided information regarding the availability of the existing apartment units should it be converted to condominium ownership. The condominium ownership would allow
the sale of the units as rental income properties and it is proposed that the new ownership will
continue to rent the units to the existing tenants.
Additionally, with respect to the potential impact of conversion on tenants and the potential for
displacement, the Residential Tenancies Act includes a number of provisions intended to prohibit displacement and hardship to existing tenants resulting from the conversion of rental
units to condominium ownership.
Specifically, the Act provides the following protections for existing tenants where conversion has
occurred: - A landlord is prohibited from evicting an existing tenant to give vacant possession to a
prospective purchaser of the condominium unit and is prohibited from termination based
on possession by the landlord for the purpose of personal occupation by the landlord or member of the immediate family. Any purchaser of the condominium unit will not be able
to obtain vacant possession while the tenant remains in the unit. - Tenants of a converted residential unit are guaranteed the right of ‘first refusal’ to purchase the condominium unit.
With respect to the Town’s Zoning By-law, the subject property is zoned RM and appears to
meet the relevant zone provisions, with the exception of the noted deficiencies which are
considered legal non-conforming. Additionally, considering the long standing use of the property in its present form (approximately 40 years) this Office is satisfied that the existing use
of the lands is adequately served with respect to building location, unit sizes, and parking and
that the development will not be affected by the applicant’s proposal to convert the apartment units to condominium ownership.
The applicant has submitted a Building Condition Assessment and a review of the existing structure relative to the Ontario Building Code and Fire Code. This and other requirements,
such as a reserve fund study, have been incorporated as conditions of approval. Further, current legislation prohibits the displacement of existing tenants, regardless of any
change in ownership and requires that existing tenants be provided a first right of refusal with respect to the purchase of the condominium unit.
Based on the forgoing, Planning Staff are of the opinion that the proposed condominium conversion is consistent with the PPS, generally complies with the relevant Official Plan policies,
and maintains the general intent of the Town’s Zoning By-law.

Attachments Government of Canada – Call for Proposals
RECOMMENDATION
THAT Council receives Report CL 17-14, Enabling Accessibility Fund Project Proposal, as information;
AND authorizes the submission of an application for the proposed project.
BACKGROUND
The Accessibility Advisory Committee received a request from the Director of Recreation, Culture & Parks to provide suggestions on potential projects for the 2017 Enabling Accessibility Fund. Applications are being received by the Government of Canada under two funding
streams, including the Workplace Accessibility and the Community Accessibility streams until
July 26, 2017.
The Workplace Accessibility Stream provides funding for projects “that improve accessibility and safety for people with disabilities through the construction, renovation or retrofit of workplaces
and the provision of accessible information and communications technologies”. The Community
Accessibility Stream provides funding for projects “that help improve accessibility and safety
through the construction, renovation or retrofit of community facilities and the provision of accessible information and communications technologies so that community programs and services can be accessed by people with disabilities”.
Grant project funding of up to $50,000 is available to eligible applicants, including businesses
with up to 99 full-time equivalent employees, community organizations, not-for-profit organizations, for-profit organizations, small municipalities, Indigenous organizations and territorial governments. Up to a maximum of $10,000 is also being made available for “150
youth-driven projects aimed at increasing accessibility in community facilities and workplaces
across Canada”.
Applicants are required to secure 35% in monetary and/or non-monetary contributions towards the total eligible cost of the project, and the ESDC will fund up to 65% of eligible project costs
(up to a maximum of $50,000). Applicants are also required to demonstrate community support
for their project (i.e. an organization that provides programs and/or services targeted to people

Call for proposals
June 1, 2017
During National AccessAbility Week, as we celebrate, highlight and promote inclusion and accessibility
across Canada, we are especially aware of how greatly society benefits when all Canadians can
participate equally in their workplaces and communities.
To help achieve a more accessible Canada, the Honourable Carla Qualtrough, Minister of Sport and
Persons with Disabilities, invited businesses, community organizations and other eligible recipients to
apply for funding through the 2017 Enabling Accessibility Fund (EAF) Call for Proposals.
Canadians with disabilities face challenges every day which prevent them from participating fully in
their communities and the economy. Through programs such as the EAF, the Government of Canada is
committed to reducing these accessibility barriers and ensuring that everyone has equal access and
opportunity.
This call for proposals includes Workplace Accessibility and Community Accessibility funding streams.
The EAF Workplace Accessibility Stream gives eligible businesses and other employers across
Canada the opportunity to submit funding proposals for projects that improve accessibility and safety
for people with disabilities through the construction, renovation or retrofit of workplaces and the
provision of accessible information and communications technologies.
The EAF Community Accessibility Stream provides funding for projects that help improve accessibility
and safety through the construction, renovation or retrofit of community facilities and the provision of
accessible information and communications technologies so that community programs and services
can be accessed by people with disabilities.
Businesses with up to 99 full-time equivalent employees and community organizations can receive
government grant project funding of up to $50,000. Not-for-profit organizations, for-profit organizations,
small municipalities (population under 125,000), Indigenous organizations (including band councils,
tribal councils and self-government entities) and territorial governments are eligible to apply.
Eligible applicants in all provinces and territories can submit proposals until Wednesday, July 26, 2017.

In addition to this call for proposals, and in celebration of Canada 150, a portion of the 2017-18 EAF
funding budget will support a pilot project for up to 150 youth-driven projects aimed at increasing
accessibility in community facilities and workplaces across Canada. The maximum funding per project
will be $10,000. Youth interested in participating will identify accessibility barriers in public places or
workplaces in their communities and/or surrounding communities and seek out interested organizations
willing to work with them to lead the development of accessibility project proposals.
Quote
"We've made great strides in promoting inclusion for Canadians with disabilities, but there is still much
work to do. That's why, as part of National AccessAbility Week, I encourage businesses, community
organizations and other eligible applicants to apply for Enabling Accessibility Fund funding, so that
together we can create a more accessible Canada."
- The Honourable Carla Qualtrough, Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities
Quick Facts
The Enabling Accessibility Fund has an annual budget of $15 million.
Since the creation of the Enabling Accessibility Fund, the Government of Canada has funded
over 2,890 projects, helping thousands of Canadians gain access to employment opportunities
and their communities' programs, services and workplaces.
Budget 2016 provided an additional $4 million over two years, starting in 2016-17, for the
Enabling Accessibility Fund's community stream to support the capital costs of construction and
renovation related to improving physical accessibility and safety for Canadians with disabilities.
Budget 2017 proposes to provide $77 million over 10 years, starting in 2018-19, to expand the
activities of the Enabling Accessibility Fund. This will enable the program to support more small
and mid-sized projects in Canadian communities and workplaces.
National AccessAbility Week is being celebrated from May 28 to June 3, 2017 to promote
inclusion and accessibility in communities and workplaces.

Enabling Accessibility Fund - Workplace & Community Accessibility Streams
Backgrounder
The Enabling Accessibility Fund (EAF) was originally announced as a three-year, $45-million program
to support community-based projects across Canada. It was then renewed for another three years prior
to being renewed on an ongoing basis at $15 million per year, to continue to improve accessibility for
Canadians with disabilities.
Budget 2016 provided an additional $4 million over two years, starting in 2016-17, for the Enabling
Accessibility Fund's community stream to support the capital costs of construction and renovation
related to improving physical accessibility and safety for Canadians with disabilities.
Budget 2017 proposes to provide $77 million over 10 years, starting in 2018-19, to expand the activities
of the Enabling Accessibility Fund. Eligible projects could include the construction of accessible ramps
and the installation of automatic doors, and the provision of accessible information and
communications technologies. Since its creation, the EAF has funded over 2,890 projects.
Projects funded under the Workplace Accessibility Stream, the more recent of the two funding streams,
must aim to improve accessibility or safety in workplaces in order to create or maintain job
opportunities for Canadians with disabilities.
Projects funded under the Community Accessibility Stream must aim to remove barriers and increase
accessibility for people with disabilities in Canadian communities, thus allowing access to community
programs and services.

Eligible activities for both funding streams under the 2017 call for proposals include renovation, retrofit
or construction activities specifically designed to eliminate barriers and increase safety for people with
disabilities. This also includes the provision of information and communication technologies that
eliminate systemic accessibility barriers.
The EAF offers up to $50,000 in project funding. Project costs are shared between the recipient or
other project contributors and government. Contributions equal to or greater than 35 percent of the total
eligible costs of the project must be provided by sources other than the federal government (which can
include the applicant's own organization). Both funding streams for this call for proposals close on July
26, 2017.

Report Title Building Inspector I - Business Case
Report No. DCS 17-20
Author Geno Vanhaelewyn, Chief Building Official
Meeting Type Council Meeting
Council Date JUNE 12, 2017
Attachments Business Case – Building Inspector I
RECOMMENDATION
THAT Council receives Report DCS 17-20 - Building Inspector I - Business Case as information;
AND THAT Council continues to support the requirements set in the Ontario Building Code Act to
ensure adequate staffing are in place to administer the Ontario Building Code;
AND FURTHER THAT Council direct staff to proceed in establishing the Building Inspector I position
and recruitment process.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Tillsonburg has continued to witness strong development and as a result staffing levels within the
Building Department are inadequate to maintain the required level of service required to support the development community’s needs. Staff have identified the need for an additional inspector to ensure
these demands can be maintained and therefore the Town must adjust quickly to ensure the
development process is not stalled. This recommendation will ensure that the Town continues to display an inviting “open for business” impression to investors and the development community.
BACKGROUND
Building Services is committed to maintaining the excellent level of service to the development community, residents and business owners. Building Services has functioned with two inspectors; a
Chief Building Official and Deputy Chief Building Official for over 15 years. However, as the Town has
been experiencing a substantial increase in the amount of development within the community over the past year; current staffing levels are not adequate to maintain this level of service. As a result, staff
have identified the need for an additional building inspector to ensure the services that the Building
Department provides to the community is not compromised. The attached business case outlines the increase in permit activity as well as the immediate and long term needs of this department to function
effectively.
FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
The proposed position is recommended as a Grade 9 on the 2017 Compensation Grid with an hourly rate/rage of $28.92/hr – $35.04/hr.
An additional inspector will be funded directly through the increase in permit activity/revenue. Financial records for 2017 Q1 recorded a surplus of $16,885 and it is anticipated that surpluses will continue
quarterly.

The Strategic Context
Business Needs and Desired Outcomes
Strategic Environment
Organizational Overview
The Town’s Building Department provides a very important service to the public by
ensuring that buildings meet the requirements of the Ontario Building Code (OBC). Safe
buildings are paramount and due diligence exercised in enforcing the Code helps to
protect the municipality from exposure to liability. Providing these services in an efficient
and timely manner for the development community is imperative for the Town’s
economic growth and has become expected.
These service are provided primarily for the purposes of reviewing and approving
proposed design, construction, demolition and occupancy of new buildings and existing
buildings in order to meet minimum acceptable health, life safety, zoning, accessibility
and community standards as established by the Ontario Building Code Act and related
by-laws. The service also provides inspection and enforcement offered to complainants,
property owners and neighbourhood residents relative to the provisions of the Town’s
property-related by-laws to maintain minimum prescribed standards.
In the Town of Tillsonburg, the OBC functions are carried out by staff in the Building
Department. This consists of the following staff classifications:
• Chief Building Official (CBO) (approx. 50%)
• Deputy Chief Building Official (DCBO) (approx.95%)
• Development Technician (approx. 50%)
Properly qualified staff is essential to ensuring safe construction and safe buildings
throughout the Town. Consequently, the continued support of Council to ensure that the
CBO and other staff have time and access to ongoing training and professional
development is vital to a high quality of building construction and service in Tillsonburg.
Business Need
Given the increase in development activity, staffing restraints, increasing OBC
complexity, Ministry training requirements, etc.; Building Department staff does not have
1
67
Business Case: Building Inspector I
the capability to maintain a level of service offered and expected by our building and
development customers.
Increased activity has required staff to work additional hours resulting in overtime pay,
reduction in Ministry training, inability to take required vacation, etc.
Increase in inspector vacation time due to years of service causes the department to be
left with only one inspector during vacation reducing the level of service expected from
our building and development customers.
Increased standards within the OBC require additional training and attention to detail in
order to provide the expected efficiency and support to the development community.
Customers’ needs must be maintained and are not sustainable based on the ongoing
development activity and inspector staffing.
Drivers for Change
There are a number of drivers that have highlighted the need for additional building
inspector staffing. Building permit activity, historical and projected growth is one of the
key factors identifying the need for change.
Table 1 sets out the value of construction permit class comparison activity for the period
2012 - 2016.

permits were issued for an increase of 110 permits based on the previous 8 year
average. Typically, one full time inspector can effectively manage around 150 permits
per year.

In review of the 2017 first quarter statistics along with builder/developer
feedback/interest in residential development it is anticipated that the current level of new
housing construction is expected to continue. The County of Oxford Official Plan
projects over a 10 year period (2016 - 2026) that the population is expected to grow by
1.4% annually. Housing projections in either case support a continued healthy growth
in Tillsonburg, which in turn will support continued activity for the building department.
Table 4 identifies the 2017 Q1 ongoing increase in these activities.

The Building Department has approximately 400 open permits dating back to the year
2000. This has been identified for several years and has been managed partially with
part time summer student staffing, however, most of these open files require inspector
involvement and continues to be challenging based on increased permit activity and
OBC complexity. Lack of inspector time to focus on these files puts the Town at risk
and in an undesirable position.
Finally, the Town has positioned itself in providing exceptional permit turnaround times
and inspection services for the development community. As a part of the development
process our customers expect this level of service to continue as business and
development pressures increase. Developers, contractors, subcontractors, etc. have
adjusted to the recent increase in demands and therefore the Town must also be able to
adjust quickly to ensure the development process is not stalled.
Business Outcomes
Arguably, there are direct benefits to investing in a Building Inspector I position.
Some of these benefits include,
• Maintaining developer needs/demands;
This includes maintaining efficient and uninterrupted permit turnaround times,
inspections and permit holder inquiries during increased activity. An additional
inspector will allow for consistent and proper inspector coverage during inspector
vacations, sick/personal days, training, etc.
• Increased Permit Revenue;
Increased permit activity has provided a direct increase in revenue including a
substantial reserve fund. Hiring an additional inspector can therefore be justified
to ensure the development community receives consistent professional services
for permit fees paid.
4
70
Business Case: Building Inspector I
• Implementation and use of existing available technologies;
Existing permit tracking software has built in mobile capabilities that have not
been fully utilized and will provide increased developer service and
recordkeeping.
• Meeting legislative requirements;
Ensure that permits and inspections are completed in a timely fashion as per the
requirements set out in the OBC Act. Ensure that all inspectors have the ability to
attend training and maintain qualifications as required by the Ministry.
• Minimised risk;
An additional building inspector will reduce the risk associated with high
demands and activity. As increased demands as such continue there are higher
risk of inspector error and oversight. By hiring an additional inspector the risk of
error and oversite is reduced and the time needed for proper record keeping and
permit follow-up can become a reality.
• Better support for Council, Senior Management and Employees;
An additional inspector will allow the CBO to perform other duties required as a
manager and provide the required assistance for employees, senior
management and Council.
Strategic Fit
A Building Inspector I position would fit well with the continued growth of the community
and the timing for this additional staff position is ideal. Staff have identified that the
increase in activity is not just a 1 year term and therefore the need for assistance is
paramount to ensure that the Town’s competitive edge is not lost.
Stakeholder benefits
Stakeholder demands as a result of the economy are one of the main factors for this
request. Having an additional trained inspector on-staff who can assist with reviewing
permit applications and performing field inspections is needed to respond to the ongoing
development community’s economic activity.
Scope
Reporting to the Chief Building Official under the supervision of the Deputy Chief
Building Official, this position will be primarily responsible for processing building permit
applications, performing inspections, reviewing drawings and construction for
conformance with legislation, regulations/standards and maintaining all pertinent files
and records. A focus of this position will be compliance inspections of various stages of

This policy is being requested to provide clear direction on how to distribute annual surplus or
deficits. It will allow staff to plan in the budget process for use of the funds that may be available
as a result of the surplus. BACKGROUND
In the past the Town allocated any surplus/ deficit to/from the General Reserve fund. With the
introduction and approval of separate reserves, as outlined in By-Law 4107, surpluses and deficits must be treated in a different manner.
Staff is presenting a policy which allocates surplus in a priority sequence, but also allows Senior
Leadership to have discretion over surplus and deficit allocations.
FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
The funding source for a surplus is generated when the total Town wide revenues exceed our expenses in any particular year. Conversely the Policy allows Senior Leadership Team discretion over which Reserve fund to be drawn upon to balance any years when Town wide
expenses exceed revenues.

Annual Surplus / Deficit Allocation Policy
Policy Statement
The purposes of this policy are:
• To ensure that operating surpluses are returned to the taxpayers;
• To establish a priority framework for the allocation of any operating surpluses and eliminate any
operating deficits through the use of the same priority framework.
Scope
This policy applies to all Town of Tillsonburg departments, excluding Building, which contributes
surpluses and allocates deficits from the Obligatory Building Permit Cost Stabilization Reserve.
This policy does not apply to revenues generated from Development Charges. These funds are to be
allocated to the appropriate Development Charge Reserve.
This policy does not apply to proceeds received through the Federal Gas Tax program. Unspent Gas Tax
funds are to be allocated to the Gas Tax Rebate Reserve.
Policy
Guiding Principles
Surpluses which are not required to fund reserve balance thresholds, as set out in the Town's Reserve
Fund Policy, shall be distributed as outlined in the "Priority Allocation for Operating Surpluses" section
below.
A deficit shall be funded as outlined in the "Priority Application for Operating Deficits" below.
Department staff will respect the nature of and manage a global budget by first offsetting higher than
expected spending in one area through savings in another.
Priority Allocation for Operating Surpluses
Certain Reserve Funds have been established with the primary source of funding as an allocation from
operating surpluses. Each of these Reserve Funds have targeted upper limits.
An operating surplus is to be allocated as follows
1. Fleet and Equipment reserve, until the upper limit of the fund as defined in By-law 4107 Reserve
Policy is met; However, the Director of Finance and CAO may approve a lesser amount
a. The Minimum contribution shall be equal to the lesser of:
i. The amount required to fund capital projects funded from Reserves as approved
in the subsequent budget year; or
ii. The entirety of the operating surplus

75
Priority Allocation for Operating Surpluses (continued)
2. The remaining of any operating surplus shall be allocated to reserves by the CAO and Director of
Finance in collaboration with the Senior Leadership Team, until the upper limit of the funds as
defined in By-law 4107 Reserve Policy is met.
a. Where no reserve has been previously established, the Director of Finance is authorized
to create the necessary reserves. The creation of reserves shall be contingent on a
review of budget obligations, which in the opinion of the CAO and the Director of
Finance are material;
3. Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve until the upper limit of the fund as defined in By-law 4107
Reserve Policy is met;
4. If surplus funds still remain, the amount shall be carried forward to the subsequent years'
budget in accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Act.
Priority Application for Operating Deficits
An operating deficit is to be allocated as follows:
1. Transfer the necessary funds from the Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve unless these funds have
been included in the subsequent years' budget funding estimates;
2. Review the status of discretionary reserves and, in collaboration with Senior Leadership Team,
transfer any available funds from these reserves to the operating deficit;
3. Transfer the necessary funds from the Asset Management Funding Reserve, unless these funds
have been included in the subsequent year's budget funding estimates;
4. If a deficit still remains, the amount shall be carried forward to the subsequent years' budget in
accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Act and staff shall be directed to review their
budgets to find savings equal to the unfunded deficit amount.
Approval Process
In addition to any information requested by Council, or that the Director of Finance consider
appropriate, Council shall be presented with a report for their approval detailing the following no later
than the date at which the Audited Financial Statements are presented:
1. The recommended distribution of the operating surplus or deficit funding
2. A list of any reserves created under Paragraph 2.a. of “Priority Allocation for Operating
Surpluses” which will include their revenue source, use of funds (expenses) and
minimum/maximum fund limits.
This policy will be reviewed annually after the year end surplus or deficit figures have been verified.

Report No. FIN 17 - 17
Author JANELLE COSTANTINO
Meeting Type Council Meeting
Council Date JUNE 12, 2017
Attachments None
RECOMMENDATION
THAT Council receive report FIN17-17 2016 Surplus Allocation as information.
AND THAT Council approve the allocation of the 2016 surplus of $212,111 be contributed to
specific reserves; Fleet & Equipment $200,000; Police Services Board $5,984; Recreation,
Culture and Parks $2,025 and the balance to Tax Rate Stabilization $4,102.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
To allocate the 2016 surplus to specific reserve accounts. BACKGROUND
The Fleet Department collects revenue for the future replacement of fleet and equipment. In
2016, the actual Fleet Department surplus was $308,873. As other departments within the Town
were in a deficit position at the 2016 year end, Fleet contributed a portion of their surplus to the bottom line to avoid pulling funds from the Tax Stabilization Reserve. This left the Town with an overall surplus of $212,111.
Staff is requesting Council to approve allocating $200,000 of this surplus to Fleet as the 2017
budget approved Fleet capital spending funded by reserves of $435,000 ($315,000 in 2017
budget and $120,000 for a carryover project from 2016). Before the 2016 surplus allocation, the current amount in Fleet reserves is $197,208 plus $44,230 in proceeds on equipment sold in 2017 for a total reserve balance of $241,438. Adding $200,000 will bring the reserve balance to
$441,438 which will satisfy the 2017 budget requirement.
As reported when revising the Reserve Policy, the Police Services Board had generated a
surplus of $5,984 - $4,227 from recovered money and bike sales and $1,757 in unspent special project funds.
Donated funds for the pump-track in the amount of $2,025 were added to the surplus for the
year and are needed to complete signage.
The balance of the Surplus funds will go into the Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve for the future.

RECOMMENDATION
THAT Council receives report FIN 17-18 Golf Course Land Balance Clearing Transaction as information;
AND THAT Council use $41,389.73 from the Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve to fund the
revenue shortfall on the sale of land;
AND THAT any the net proceeds from any future sale of lands previously obtained as part of the
golf course redevelopment be used to reimburse the Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve;
AND THAT the Town’s Financial Statements reflect the actions as noted in report FIN 17-18.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
To provide Council with an accounting process to clarify the Town’s Financial Statements by removing the monetary value associated with lands sold in 2012 and by removing the $398,532.02
of non-cash value associated with the golf course lands from the Town’s Reserves. The lands would
then be accounted for in Town’s land inventory. BACKGROUND
In 2012, the Town sold a parcel of land to the Tillsonburg Golf and Country Club (GC) for total
proceeds of $491,050. Of this amount, the Town received $191,050 in cash, plus land known as Borden Crescent, valued at $300,000.
The Town also incurred various expenses as a result of the sale. These totaled $92,517.98, leaving
net proceeds valued at $398,532.02 ($491,050 – $92,517.98). This amount was contributed to
reserves and has been referred to as a non-cash reserve when it should be treated as a land asset in the land inventory until it is sold and generates cash.
Upon reviewing the transaction and part of reviewing the Town’s Financial Statements, it was
determined that $24,836.50 in HST on the sale was expensed in error. As such, the net proceeds (contribution to reserves) should have been $423,368.52. ($398,532.02 + $24,836.50 = $423,368.52)
At the time of the sale, the value of the lands owned by the Town was recorded at $614,758.25 in the Town’s Tangible Capital Assets (TCA). This included a parcel of land valued at $150,000 that
Page 1 / 2 Golf course land balance clearing transaction
79
was not transferred in the sale. Therefore, the value of the land sold was $464,758.25 ($614,758.25
- $150,000.00 = $464,758.25) as a result of this transaction.
When the sale was complete, the value of the land in the Town’s TCA was not removed from the
Town’s financials. As the Town no longer owned these lands, the value of the lands should not have
continued to be reflected in the Town’s TCA. Any difference between the value ($464,758.25) and
net proceeds ($423,368.52) should have been recorded as a revenue shortfall from the sale of the lands. The revenue shortfall has been identified as $41,389.73 ($464,758.25 - $423,368.52 = $41,389.73).
In order to account for this shortfall in the Town’s Financial Statements, staff, with input from the
Town’s auditor, is recommending that Council authorize the removal of the value of the land from the Town’s TCA, which will also eliminate the reference to a non-cash reserve.
FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
Staff is recommending that Council recognize a revenue shortfall of $41,389.73 ($464,758.25 -
$423,368.52 = $41,389.73) and fund the shortfall from the Town’s Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve.
This will leave a balance of $829,904.27 in the Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve.
Staff is also recommending that the parcel of land previously valued at $150,000 be reevaluated
through a market evaluation. The land would then be put on the open market for sale and any net
proceeds be returned to the Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve.

Report Title Awarding RFP2017-004 Indoor Pool Deck
Replacement
Report No. RCP 17-34
Author Rick Cox, Director of Recreation, Culture & Parks
Meeting Type Council Meeting
Council Date June 12, 2017

RECOMMENDATION
THAT Council receives Report RCP 17-34 – Awarding RFP2017-004 Indoor Pool Deck Replacement;
AND THAT the pool deck replacement project be deferred until 2018 and re-tendered to
included replacement of the tile inside the pool tank.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
An RFP was issued to secure a contractor to replace the pool deck tile, create deck drainage,
and make some other repairs to the pool tank. One qualifying bid was submitted for significantly
higher than the available budget. Staff negotiated with the bidder to secure a more affordable
approach but were not able to find a solution that was within the budget. One option is to proceed with a partial project in 2017, with additional financing. The preferred option is to delay
the project until 2018 and bring forward a complete solution that includes replacement of the tile
inside the pool tank as well as the deck.
BACKGROUND
As part of the approved 2017 business plan for the Recreation, Culture & Parks Department, a project to replace the indoor pool deck tile was approved, with a budget of $100,000. In
compliance with the Purchasing Policy RFP2017-004 was issued to identify a preferred vendor
to replace or render non-slip the tiles on the pool deck at the Community Centre.
Prior to issuing the RFP, it was confirmed that this project does not trigger any requirement to implement changes to meet AODA standards. However, the pool was constructed without any
deck drainage and therefore does not meet current building code. In addition to meeting the
provisions of the Ontario Building Code ( OBC Section 3.11.3.1.9.c), installing deck drains will
help control operational costs by making the deck easier to clean and reducing pool
contamination from water running off the deck and back into the pool. This requirement was not considered when the budget for the project was established as part of the 2017 Budget process.
Staff has confirmed with the CBO that the project is cosmetic in nature and does not trigger OBC
compliance from his perspective. However, the requirement for code compliance on this issue is
governed by public health requirements. Staff have been unable to secure a definitive answer at
the time of preparing this report. Although the pool has been operated for more than 45 years without deck drains, if there were to be drains installed the time to do it is when the pool deck is
retiled.

While the tile removal and replacement work is occurring is also the most cost effective time to have the floor tiles in the change room showers replaced. Taking advantage of the single
mobilization also reduces the impact on the users and operations because the work would
otherwise require a second operational shut down period. An optional price to do this work was
requested as part of the RFP.
Once the requirements were confirmed, the RFP was advertised on the Tillsonburg website, the Tillsonburg News and online through bidsandtenders.ca. There were 4 plan takers. The RFP
closed on May 4, 2017 with 1 bid submitted. Acapulco Pools Ltd. Bid prices (before taxes) are
listed in the table below:
Total price to remove existing tile & supply/install new deck surface and drains $ 269,417.00
Total price to acid wash & regrout pool basin $ 62,030.00
Hourly rate for repair maintenance existing pool basin tiles $ 104.00
Optional - total price to remove existing tile and supply/install new deck surface
in change room showers(2)
$ 25,132.00
The bid was reviewed and found compliant with the required specifications. As all submitted
bids were over the designated budget for the project, the Town exercised the option within the
tender to negotiate with the bidder. The result of the negotiations is that Acapulco Pools has amended their bid as follows:
Total price to remove and replace existing tile on pool deck $188,734.00
Total price to waterproof deck $ 12,360.00
Total price to replace grab bars & stanchion anchors $ 6,577.00
Total price to install deck drainage and tie into sanitary sewer $ 29,319.00
Subtotal for deck and drainage components $236,990.00
Total price to remove and replace existing tile in pool office $ 9,911.00
Hourly rate for repair maintenance existing pool basin tiles $ 104.00
Total price to acid wash, regrout pool basin and replace drain grates $ 29,088.00
Optional - total price to remove existing tile and supply/install new deck surface
in change room showers(2)
$ 19,900.00
If the project proceeds in 2017, the scope of work will be reduced to exclude the pool office area
from the tile replacement project and to perform the acid washing and regrouting in-house after
the tile replacement is completed.
During this process, it was determined that the tiles in the pool tank itself have also seen
significant deterioration over the life of the pool and should be considered for replacement within
the next few years. The mobilization cost and operational impact can be minimized if this work
is done at the same time as the deck.
Under the circumstances, staff recommend that the project be deferred until 2018, and come back through the budget process as a complete retiling of the whole indoor pool facility. Taking
this route will reduce the 2017 shutdown to less than a month for required cleaning, but require a
full-summer shutdown in 2018.
If Council does prefer to proceed with just the deck tile project (without drainage), an alternative resolution could read as follows:

82
THAT Council receives Report RCP 17-34 – Awarding RFP2017-004 Indoor Pool Deck
Replacement;
AND THAT Council partially award RFP2017-004 to Acapulco Pools for their negotiated
price of $195,311 before taxes to remove and replace the deck tiles at the indoor pool at the Tillsonburg Community Centre;
AND THAT the entire cost of the project be funded with user-pay debt serviced through
the collection of user fees.
CONSULTATION/COMMUNICATION RCP staff from the Facilities and the Aquatics teams collaborated to develop the requirements of
the RFP.
RCP staff consulted the CBO, Oxford County Public Health and the Life Saving Society of
Canada to confirm code compliance requirements.
FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE The work covered under this tender is approved in the 2017 budget for up to $100,000 funded
through user-pay debt. User-pay debt is debt that is intended to be serviced by user fees not
taxation. In the 3 months since the implementation of the user fee surcharge, approximately
$2,500 has been collected from the users of aquatic programs. The majority of the annual surcharge revenue is anticipated to be collected during the summer months from patrons of the Waterpark.
As the deck replacement is a 40-year lifecycle extension to the pool, a debenture of 15 or 20
years or longer on this project can be considered to lower the annual servicing costs. The trade-off is that the longer debentures result in a much higher total cost of borrowing as interest rates are higher and the total amount of interest paid is significantly larger.
