Due to COVID-19 continued restrictions to programming and facility bookings at the
Community Centre and ANHS impacted Q1 revenue due to stay-at-home orders from
the Province. Numerous cost containment and staff redeployments have been
implemented. Discretionary expenditures will continue to be held in abeyance to help
mitigate any year-end deficits. With the Tillsonburg Vaccine Clinic implemented a few
weeks ago, many of our RCP staff have been assigned to various tasks. Their time will
be compensated by Oxford County/SWPH and the Province.

Subject: Offer to Purchase – Lot 3, Van Norman Innovation Park
Report Number: EDM 21-17
Department: Economic Development & Marketing
Submitted by: Cephas Panschow, Development Commissioner
Meeting Type: Council Meeting
Meeting Date: Tuesday, May 25, 2021
RECOMMENDATION
THAT Council receives report EDM 21-17 Offer to Purchase – Lot 3, Van Norman
Innovation Park;
AND THAT a By-Law be brought forward to authorize the Mayor and Clerk to enter into
an agreement of purchase and sale with 1677123 Ontario Inc for the property described
part of Lot 3 in the Van Norman Innovation Park and to be described by a new
reference plan.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this report is to seek Council approval to enter into an Agreement of
Purchase and Sale with 1677123 Ontario Inc for the sale of two and a half acres of
industrial land in the Van Norman Innovation Park. The proposed investment will result
in the construction a 20,000 square foot industrial building to enable the expansion of an
advanced manufacturing business to the Town of Tillsonburg along with the creation of
approximately five jobs initially with the potential for more employment as the company
grows.
DISCUSSION
1677123 Ontario Inc is the holding company for Langtry Blast Technologies
Inc/1562605 Ontario Inc. Langtry Blast Technologies is currently located in Burlington
where they have been since 2003. In 2020, they identified the need to expand their
business in order to meet their needs for more space as well as increasing their service
area for clients in the aerospace sector.

The details of their offer to purchase are:
Initial Offer
Price $125,000
Acreage 2.5 Acres
Price/Acre $50,000/Acre
Conditional “As-is” Date July 30, 2021
Completion Date Following the registration of the Plan of
Subdivision for the Van Norman
Innovation Park and by November 30,
2021
Page 96 of 199
EDM 21-17
Page 3 of 5
Proposed Uses Manufacturing of sand blasting machines
and service base for existing customers.
Purchaser Conditions None
Timelines for Development Standard conditions of 1 year to start and
an additional year to complete.
1677123 Ontario Inc has submitted an offer with minimal changes to the Town’s
standard development covenants. The one exception is to the minimum lot coverage as
they are proposing the construction of a 20,000 square foot building, which equates to
approximately 18% lot coverage, which is below the standard requirement of 20%.
The offer received from 1677123 Ontario Inc will result in the expansion of new
manufacturer to the Town of Tillsonburg. Based on a review of the company, it
appears that supporting their expansion to Tillsonburg is desirable as they are an
Advanced Manufacturing company that will serve to expand and diversify Tillsonburg’s
economy.
While the initial employment is not that significant, there appears to be significant
opportunity for that to increase as Langtry continues to grow their operations.
The Development Commissioner is recommending that Council move forward with this
agreement.
CONSULTATION
The Van Norman Innovation Park has been well advertised including on the Town’s
website, an on-site sign that has been present since 2009 and many different marketing
opportunities and advertisements.
The Economic Development Advisory Committee has provided the following points
when considering offers to purchaser received:
It was suggested that it could be beneficial to have more of the buildings owner-
occupied space but still have some rental space available.
It was suggested that the minimum lot severance be two acres and not any
smaller than that.
Potential buyers should be encouraged to access the Community Improvement
Plan where applicable.

Department Comment Response/Reason
Building and Bylaw No concerns related to the
proposed land sale. As
usual, any new
development will be subject
to site plan approval and
the issuance of a building
permit.
Clerks No response
Engineering Purchaser will be subject to
site plan application
process.
Fire Department No concerns
Planning The manufacturing of sand
blasting machines would
fall under a manufacturing
plant, which is a permitted
use in the MR/MG zones
Recreation, Culture & Parks No comments or concerns
Tillsonburg Hydro Inc No further comments General servicing plan for
the industrial park is being
finalized. If these sales
proceed, the Purchaser
would be required to make
a connection request with
specific information relating
to their development.
Duncan, Linton LLP Circulated on March 30,
2021. No concerns.
FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
The offer to purchase has been received at a value of $125,000 or $50,000/Acre.
The land sale revenue from this transaction will be used to pay the Town’s legal and
closing costs with the net amount being contributed to the Economic Development
Reserve. The funds in the Economic Development Reserve will be used to offset all
expenditures related to the development of the Van Norman Innovation Park including
servicing costs required to enable the development to proceed.
Based on BMA 2019 data of $1.14 per square foot in tax revenue for a standard
industrial building, the tax revenue for the proposed 20,000 square feet of building area
is estimated at $32,800. However, due to the significant increases in assessed values
being experienced across the Province, a new industrial building could have a
significantly higher assessed value (although the assessed value would still have to be
Page 98 of 199
EDM 21-17
Page 5 of 5
in line with the existing industrial assessments in the area). Hence, it may be
appropriate to estimate taxes as being in the $1.75 to $2.25 per square foot range,
which would result in an estimated tax bill of $35,000 to $45,000.

AND THAT the Final Tax Levy By-Law to provide for the adoption of budgetary estimates,
tax rates, installment due dates and to further provide for penalty and interest on default of

The Municipal Act provides that the Council of a local municipality shall prepare and adopt

property taxes collectable over two initial installments; February 25, 2021 and May 20, 2021.
Council is now being requested to levy final rates that will raise the 2021 property taxes collectable.
Remaining taxes payable will be paid over two final installments; August 26, 2021 and October
21, 2021. Accordingly, the associated By-Law has been brought forward for Council consideration.

FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
At the Council meeting held on January 11, 2021, Council adopted the 2021 Budget and
Business Plans establishing a requirement from taxation for general purposes of
$16,730,747.
To meet this levy requirement, tax rates founded on the 2016 current value phase-in
assessment and those parameters mandated by the County of Oxford for class ratios and
subclass discounts have been calculated.
The attached By-Law specifies the approved levy amount along with Schedule “A” that
provides for the applicable calculated 2021 tax rates to generate the levy amounts for each

Resolution #2
Moved by: Pete Luciani
Seconded by: Wayne Beard
THAT the Tillsonburg Dog Park Advisory Committee Minutes of February 11, 2020,
be adopted.
Carried
5.Presentations/Deputations - none
6.General Business & Reports – Chris advised that there was a $6,000.00 capital
budget for the dog park work for this year. This amount will be included annually in
the Capital Budget, however still subject to approval of Council.
6.1. Water – Chris thanked Pete and Wayne for information on the water issues and
requests. Stevens Irrigation has provided a plan for water line extension from the
cattle barn to both sections of the water park. They offered to do this at no cost.
There was discussion about putting some irrigation at the raised beds, the quote
was received, with some questions waiting for answers to share with the
Page 127 of 199
committee. Although the water source is from the potable Town system , the
water does travel a considerable distance through older irrigation lines . Unlikely
to be hazardous, human consumption is not recommended. A warning sign will
be posted accordingly. A conventional potable system would cost tens of
thousands of dollars to otherwise supply water to the park. The work will be
done as soon as Stevens are able to schedule it. The system will be included in
town’s maintenance plan to winterize at no cost to the committee. Pete
wondered if there is a possibility to make a concrete bowl for the water to stay as
containers are difficult to keep at the park. Chris will investigate options.
6.2. Perimeter walking path – Wayne wondering about a path around the interior
perimeter of the fence for those with canes or maybe even wheelchairs. Chris
stated that once the location for the concrete pads is determined, there will be
possibility to put down surface similar to trails and paths for easier walking within
the defined dog park area. This will form part of an overall long term plan that
the Committee can determine.
6.3. Shade area for people – there was discussion about seeking donation from
Rona or similar for some shade structures. The committee members will walk
the park and will consider the best location for the concrete pads. In the past
there was talk about purchasing a gazebo style structure from a company in Mt.
Forrest - Yardistry. Rona might be able to get it at cost.
https://www.yardistrystructures.com/products/ Chris will provide an overall map
of the Dog Park upon which Committee Members can help identify the most
preferred location on each side.
6.4. Trees and memorial trees – Wayne would like to see more trees in time. He
would like the committee to decide where they should go once an overall plan
can be developed. There have been inquiries about memorial trees, these can
go in, however the markers would be something other than the stones that have
been used in the past. There is an option of memorial plaques at the entrance or
within the Bulletin Board sign, to be explored further.
6.5. Road signage – there is only a sign on the barn directing to the Dog Park at this
time. Chris provided information that the town is updating all wayfinding signage
in town, with some directional signs on Broadway and Tillson. More detailed
wayfinding signs will be installed around Memorial Park and the Community
Centre. Once there are some mock-ups and locations available from the
marketing team, they will be shared with the committee.
6.6. Council feedback on Cadman Park for water dogs – the committee has
asked in the past about possibility of using a section of the Cadman Park for
dogs who love playing in water. Chris advised that the committee can put a
motion and present it to council with the request. Staff would then prepare a
report to accompany the motion - this is the preferred process to raise
recommendations to the Council floor. Pete and Wayne will work on a motion.
There is more background information needed and Staff will find and provide it
to assist with drafting of the motion for the next meeting.
Page 128 of 199
6.7. Rules on toys in the park – there is a sign at the park “No toys allowed”,
wondering where the rule came from and why? Pete advised that the rules were
reviewed and determined when the park was being built, and this relates to
potential aggression over toys. Should the Committee recommend amendments
to the current rules, again a motion to Council would be recommended by staf f.
6.8. General discussion – Roseanne noticed some young children hanging off the
new trees and taking toys away from dogs, which should be addressed. The
rules speak about children under 12 being accompanied by parents, but not
about misbehaviour.
There were three people identified to fill the vacancies on the committee, they
will be presented at the next council meeting on May 25 and hopefully approved
by Council.
