Subject: The Town of Tillsonburg Development Guidelines and Design Criteria
Report Number: OPD 22-09
Department: Operations and Development Department
Submitted by: Shayne Reitsma, Manager of Engineering
Meeting Type: Council Meeting
Meeting Date: Monday, February 28, 2022
RECOMMENDATION
THAT report OPD 22-09 The Town of Tillsonburg Development Guidelines and Design
Criteria be received as information;
AND THAT Council adopt the use of the Town of Tillsonburg Development Guidelines
and Design Criteria dated 2021;
BACKGROUND
The current Town of Tillsonburg standard is the “The Town of Tillsonburg Subdivision
and Development Guidelines and Criteria dated 2008”. Starting in 2020 the Engineering
Department has been working on revising the document in order to update our current
standards and be consistent with other municipalities within Ontario.
The new standard will allow Builders, Developers, and consulting engineers the ability
to use only one document for information regarding, Site Plan applications and
processes, Subdivision applications and processes, Engineering criteria and typical
standard drawings.
DISCUSSION
The new Town of Tillsonburg Development Guidelines and Design Criteria has some
key new additions added that are summarized below:
SECTION 1 – GENERAL PREFACE
Update to Town population, purpose of the document such as the inclusion of site plan
criteria and application within the same document, updated definitions and
OPD 21-56 Choose an item. Click or tap here to enter text.
Page 2 of 4
abbreviations, updated reference to applicable reference documents, permits and
approval agencies.
SECTION 2 – SUBDIVISION APPROVAL PROCESS
Provided Residents, Builders, Developers and Consulting Engineers (users) with
subdivision approval process highlighting all steps and processes within the subdivision
process.
SECTION 3 – SUBDIVISION SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Updated subdivision submission requirements such as, Geotechnical report, excess soil
management plan as per O.Reg 406/19 Excess Soil, Site Plans and Subdivisions
(including Parks) will be required to provide a Landscaping plan designed by a
Landscape architect.
SECTION 4 – SITE PLAN APPROVAL PROCESS
Provided users with site plan approval process highlighting all steps and processes
within the site plan process. Includes the Site Plan Application to provide “one stop
shopping” access for users.
SECTION 5 – SITE PLAN SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Provide users with fee structure, general requirements for drawings, landscape
requirements and fire route access.
SECTION 6 – SITE PLAN ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES
Inclusion of tree protection standards, garbage and snow removal areas, outdoor
amenity areas, updated site servicing requirements and stormwater management,
electrical systems and street lighting. The update further requires users to provide,
where applicable, any construction method that is in accordance with the accessibility
for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.
SECTION 7 – ROADWAYS
Update to geometric design elements, addition of bike lane information, providing sight
line triangle distances and minimum pavement design requirements. A new boulevard
spacing of 2.5m (current 1.2m) will be required in new subdivisions to allow room not
only for utilities, snow storage and trees, but will provide additional space between
pedestrians and motor vehicles for safety. The 2.5m allows a vehicle the ability to
parallel park between the road and the sidewalk. Oxford County spec is 3m boulevard
spacing, City of London is 2.56 and City of St.Thomas is 2.75m.
SECTION 8 – STREETLIGHTING
Providing specific standard material specifications to be used in the Town.
SECTION 9 – UTILITIES
Inclusion of a composite utility plan during the first drawing submission that outlines the
location of hydro, gas and telecommunication services for Town and County review.
OPD 21-56 Choose an item. Click or tap here to enter text.
Page 3 of 4
The requirement of having this submitted at the onset will allow staff to provide accurate
and detailed comments when assessing the subdivision as a whole.
SECTION 10 – STORM SEWERS
Updating to new a relevant rainfall data to better represent Tillsonburg. The requirement
to design storm pipes to only 93% full flow capacity to allow a factor of safety during
large storm events and when residents build pools and patios. This will further prolong
the usefulness of the pipes with an increase of higher density units within infill lots.
SECTION 11 – STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Adding the requirement to provide Low Impact Development solutions and overland flow
routes. Aligning our standards with the Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks
and our local comparisons. Storm water management ponds to promote a natural state
to support ecosystems.
SECTION 12 – SANITARY SEWERS
Reference to Oxford County Sanitary Sewer Standard.
SECTION 13 – WATERMAINS
Reference to Oxford County Watermain Standard.
SECTION 14 – LOT GRADING
Updates to the lot grading criteria includes the requirement to provide further details on
lot grading plans for submission to the Town such as number of risers and doors for
each house and additional elevations shown on the grading plan. This will assist Town
staff the ability to ensure proper grading at each house
SECTION 15 – PARKLAND AND STREETSCAPING
The new Town standard will require that each lot (municipal address) will have a
boulevard tree. Not only are trees aesthetically appealing during warm summer months
the trees will provide the necessary shade on the asphalt road surface prolonging its
useful life. Ultimately reducing climate change impacts.
CONSULTATION
Director of Operations and Development, Director of Recreation, Culture and Parks,
Manager of Public works, Chief Building Official, Manager of Parks and Facilities and
Oxford County Planning were consulted
Further these standards were sent to developers and local engineering companies for a
30 day review period. Comments were received and some items within the standard
were adjusted.
FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
There is no financial impact.

2.2 Draft Plan Approval
Planning services for the Town of Tillsonburg are provided by the Oxford County Community and
Strategic Planning Office (CPO) including approvals for Draft Plan of subdivision. The Draft
Approval Stage covers all activities from submission of a Draft Plan of Subdivision Application to
Final Approval and registration of the Draft Plan. The following Guidelines will provide direction
for the submission and processing of complete applications.
2.2.1 Pre-Consultation
Pre-consultation meetings are a mandatory part of the development review process for
applications for Draft Plans of Subdivision. The Proponent meets with CPO staff/Development
Planner to discuss the proposed application and to review zoning, servicing and characteristics
of the site that are relevant to the development. This meeting will be initiated at the request of the
Proponent at which time the Proponent shall submit to CPO a concept plan illustrating the
configuration of the lots, frontages, road widths, open space etc.
Prior to the pre-consultation meeting the CPO staff/Development Planner will review the concept
plan and confirm conformity with the Official Plan and Zoning By-law and identify any necessary
amendments which may be required in addition to draft plan approval. Parkland dedication
requirements will be identified as well as the preferred location for parks and open space
requirements. CPO staff/Development Planner may consult with other County/Municipal divisions
or agencies if there are concerns or constraints that are identified.
A meeting agenda will be prepared and distributed by the Development Plannerand will be
distributed to Town Staff at least 1 week before the meeting to ensure that the necessary staff are
present.
During the pre-consultation meeting, application requirements will be discussed including:
• application forms,
• application fees,
• any supporting documents required for the official plan and zoning by-law amendment and
draft plan of subdivision,
• public consultation strategy requirements and checklist,
• review of timelines and potential scheduling for notices and public meetings.
Although the requirements for a complete application will be identified during the pre-consultation
meeting it should be recognized that as the approval process proceeds other items, not noted at
the pre-consultation meeting, may be requested as the design progresses and more information
becomes available.
2.2.1.1 Record of Consultation
A concise record of the requirements for draft plan approval as identified by planning and
engineering at the pre-consultation meeting will be completed. The requirements identified in the
SUBDIVISION APPROVAL PROCESS
Operations Services
The Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg
Development Guidelines and Design Criteria

Record of Consultation will form the contents of a complete subdivision application submission.
The requirements identified in the Record of Consultation will allow the Conditions of Draft
Approval to be crafted during the draft approval stage. It is anticipated that the Record of
Consultation will be distributed no later than 7 business days after the pre-consultation meeting.
2.2.1.2 Consult Other Agencies
The application process can involve consultation with several outside agencies. In some cases,
the Proponent may be required to consult with one or more of these agencies prior to the
submission of the application to determine if any additional items will be required. Fees associated
with those consultations are not covered by the fee submitted to the CPO for draft plan approval.
2.2.2 Prepare the Application
The Proponent has sole responsibility for submitting a complete application and may be required
to prepare drawings or studies depending on feedback from the pre-consultation meeting and
consultation with other agencies. The complete application including supporting material,
declarations and the appropriate fees are to be submitted to CPO by mail or in person. The
application shall have regard for matters of Provincial interest and shall be consistent with the
Provincial Policy Statements issued under Section 3 of the Planning Act. Section 51(24) of the
Planning Act requires that when a draft plan of subdivision is considered, it must have regard for
health, safety, convenience and welfare of the present and future inhabitants of the municipality.
If it has been determined during pre-consultation that a zoning by-law amendment and/or an
official plan amendment is required, submission of the zoning by-law amendment application and
official plan amendment application may take place at any time prior to the granting of final plan
approval, however it is recommended that the necessary zoning by-law amendment application
and official plan amendment application be filed with the local municipality at the same time as
the plan of subdivision application so that a combined public meeting can be held.
2.2.3 Submission Requirements
All applications for draft plan approval must include the following:
• Six (6) full size folded copies of the draft plan drawn to scale, with boundaries certified by
an Ontario Land Surveyor
• Two (2) reduced copy no larger than 11” x 17” and a digital file in pdf and an e-transmit
CAD file format are required
All draft plans must include all items as required under Section 51(17) of The Planning Act
including:
• the boundaries of the proposed subdivision certified by an Ontario Land Surveyor, Ontario
land surveyor's name, signature and date of signature
• map scale, legend, north marker

4 SITE PLAN APPROVAL PROCESS
4.1 General Requirements
In the Province of Ontario, Section 41 of the Planning Act authorizes municipalities to employ Site
Plan Control as a land use tool to ensure the appropriate location of a development on a site and
to ensure the safety, attractiveness and compatibility with the surrounding land. This section is to
inform potential developers and the public about the process of Site Plan Control within the Town
of Tillsonburg.
4.2 Introduction
4.2.1 Definition of Development
For the purposes of Site Plan Control, development is defined in the Planning Act as:
… the construction, erection or placing of one or more buildings or structures on
land or the making of an addition or alteration to a building or structure that has
the effect of substantially increasing the size or usability thereof, or the laying out
and establishment of a commercial parking lot or of sites for the location of three
or more trailers as defined in subsection 164 (4) of the Municipal Act, 2001 or
subsection 3 (1) of the City of Toronto Act, 2006, as the case may be, or of sites
for the location of three or more mobile homes as defined in subsection 46 (1) of
this Act or of sites for the construction, erection or location of three or more land
lease community homes as defined in subsection 46 (1) of this Act. R.S.O. 1990,
c.P.13, s. 41 (1); 1994, c. 4, s. 14; 2002, c. 17, Sched. B, s. 14 (1); 2006, c. 32,
Sched. C, s. 47 (8). (S. 41(1) Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13)
In addition to the provisions in the Planning Act, within Oxford County and its local area
municipalities, the general policies for use of Site Plan Control are contained in the County of
Oxford Official Plan. The Official Plan defines the entire Town as a proposed Site Plan
Control area. Development in the Town is further regulated through the Town of Tillsonburg
Zoning Bylaw No. 3295 as amended, the Town Site Plan Control By-law and other applicable By-
laws.
Pursuant to Section 41 of the Planning Act, the Council of the Town of Tillsonburg has enacted a
comprehensive Site Plan Control By-law. The Town’s Site Plan Control Bylaw 4151 as amended
identifies the development situations and land use classes subject to Site Plan Control and
exempts certain classes of land use from these controls. This by-law also outlines the
requirements for the submission of plans and drawings, and where necessary appropriate studies,
prior to permitting “development” on the lands which are subject to Site Plan Control.

4.2.2 Site Plan Approval Required
Site Plan Approval (SPA) is required for all commercial, industrial, institutional, private
recreational and medium or high-density residential types of development in the following
situations:
The construction, erection or placing of one or more buildings or structures on the land
An interior or exterior alteration to a building or structure on a property that has the effect of
increasing the usability of the property
An addition or alteration to a building or structure on a property that has the effect of increasing
the size of the building or structure in an industrial zone by more than 30% of the gross
floor area or increasing the size of the building or structure in all other zones by more than

4.2.3 Goals of Site Plan Control
The principal goals of Site Plan Control are to:
•Ensure the safety and convenience of vehicular and pedestrian traffic to, from, and on the
site of a new development or redevelopment
•Reduce the cost to the Town where development requires the widening of existing roads
or the granting of easements for Town purposes
•Ensure that off-street parking and loading facilities are properly located, constructed and
maintained during all seasons
•Improve the quality and aesthetic appearance of developments for greater enjoyment by
the users and tenants
•Improve the image of the Town through well designed individual developments
•Ensure proper stormwater management, drainage, lot grading for individual developments
•Proper and adequate Town services and utilities are provided
4.3 Site Plan Control Process
4.3.1 Approval Process
In order to expedite SPA applications, the Town has created three separate application types,
Minor, Major and Amendment.
Minor SPA applications will take approximately 15 business days from submission of a complete
application if the application conforms to the provisions in the Town of Tillsonburg Zoning By-law
No. 3295 as amended, the policies of the County of Oxford Official Plan, the Town’s SPA
Guidelines, and other applicable policies and guidelines. Major applications will take
approximately 25 business days from submission of a complete application. Site Plan Amendment
applications will vary in the length of time to approve based on the complexity of the proposed
development.
Please note that the application process can be expedited by ensuring that all submitting
drawings and reports meet the requirements of the SPA Guidelines. In order to ensure a
complete application, it is recommended to contact Staff to arrange for a pre-consultation
meeting (application attached as Appendix “4-1”). After the pre-consultation meeting, the
Proponent completes the SPA application form (attached as Appendix “4-2”), and
completes the attached SPA application checklist, supplies cost estimates (attached as
Appendix “4-3”, if necessary) along with all required drawings/reports/studies/etc.
Furthermore, timely resubmission of amended plans based on comments/concerns of
commenting agencies can also greatly expedite the approval process.

4.3.2 Site Plan Approval Pre-consultation
The Town encourages that the Proponent and their agents (if applicable) meet with the County
Development Planner and Town staff (if applicable) to discuss the development proposal before
submitting any application for SPA. The purpose of the meeting is to advise the Proponent of the
various Official Plan policies, Zoning By-law provisions, and external approved required for the
development. The review of these policies and provisions will assist the Proponent in the design
of the site such as the placement of the proposed buildings, structures and other built features
before preparing the required site plan drawings.
If it is identified that additional planning approvals are required before the proposed site plan could
be considered for approval, staff will discuss with the Proponent in determining if an application
for planning approval should be submitted and considered concurrently with the site plan
application.
In order to determine if SPA is applicable, and to assist the Proponent in the preparation of a
complete application package, the County Development Planner and Town staff will complete a
checklist of what is required to constitute a complete application based on the proposed
development on the subject lands. This SPA pre-consultation application can be found attached
as Appendix “4-1”.
After the completion and submission of the SPA pre-consultation application staff will review the
proposal and determine if the proposed development is:
• Exempt from SPA
• An Amendment to an existing SPA
• A minor SPA application
• A major SPA application
It is anticipated that any required drawings, reports, and or studies will be identified during the
above noted review. The Proponent will be expected to provide such studies in conjunction with
the completed SPA application.
Please be advised that the SPA pre-consultation application is provided to assist the Proponent
in moving forward with the proposed development. The above should not be considered an
exhaustive list, as additional requirements or information may be identified through a complete
review of the formal submission of all required drawings, studies, and reports.
4.3.3 Exempt from Site Plan Approval
Upon the completion and submission of the SPA pre-consultation, planning staff will discuss the
proposal with applicable Town staff and if necessary, additional applicable agencies. Staff will
review the proposal against the policies of the Official Plan, Zoning By-law and Site Plan Control
Guidelines and Site Plan Control By-law.
5
The following shall be considered by staff when determining if the proposal should be
exempt from Site Plan Control Approval:
•Is the proposal for greenfield development? (Note that new development proposals will
not be exempted from Site Plan Control Approval and will generally require either Minor
or Major SPA)
•Does the proposed development have the effect of increasing the size of the building or
structure in an industrial zone by more than 30% of the gross floor area or increasing the
size of the building or structure in all other zones by more than 30% of the gross floor
area?;
•Interior renovations will generally be exempt from Site Plan Control Approval, unless a
change of use permit is required and the required amount of parking increases.
•Are there any environmental features or constraints as identified by the Official Plan
located on the subject property or within the immediate area?
•Does the extent or scale of the development proposal suggest that a Professional
Engineer or other professional(s) be retained to review the development proposal?
•Do existing site conditions complicate the development (i.e. topography, slopes, previous
hazardous uses)?
•Does the proposed development conform to the Zoning By-law, Official Plan or any
agreements, or are there property standards complaints, open storage problems,
outstanding stop work orders, or other matters of Town interest?
•Are there any obvious parking, loading or access problems?
•Are there any obvious drainage or storm water management problems/concerns?
•Are there requirements for internal/external servicing improvements, construction or road
works?
•Is the proposed development compatible with the surrounding area in terms of conceptual
massing/design?
•Would any traffic hazards and other safety issues result from the development?
•Would the proposed development result in land use conflict/compatibility concerns?
•Is the property subject to an existing Site Plan and/or Agreement?
•Has Council requested a full review of the site?
•Is stormwater management required?
•Are municipal drains located on subject property?
•Geotechnical analysis required?
•Are new services or servicing proposed?
•What is the extent of work within the municipal ROW?
Within 5 to 7 business days of submission of the SPA pre-consultation, staff will determine if the
proposed development is exempt from SPA. If exempt, a building permit application may be
submitted for approval.

utilize the following criteria to determine whether a development proposal is considered major and
therefore requires an amendment to the existing Site Plan Agreement:
• An addition or alteration to a building or structure on a property that has the effect of
increasing the size of the building or structure in an industrial zone by more than 30% of
the gross floor area or increasing the size of the building or structure in all other zones by
more than 20% of the gross floor area, subject to the review of the proposal by the Town
and County staff. If the proposed addition or alteration does not contain any new servicing

the Proponent shall provide written correspondence to the attention of the County Development
Planner advising:
•When the approved development will be completed
•What is remaining to be constructed/installed
•Why the approved development has not been constructed within the two-year period
Upon completion of all site works, the Proponent may request the return of all performance
securities. The Proponent must provide the Town written confirmation from the consulting
engineer that all site works have been completed as per the Agreement and all approved stamped
drawings. The Proponent may be required to provide any professional reports or ‘As-Recorded’
drawings to confirm the completion of works such as final grading and stormwater management
facilities on the subject property, prior to the return of any applicable performance security.
The Manager of Engineering or Development Engineering Technologist and the Chief Building

The Engineer’s certificate will provide the following:
o All Services and Works have been constructed in conformance with the approved drawings
o Rough grading has been completed to provide a proper outlet for the major design storm
o All hydrant testing has been completed in the presence of a licensed Operator from
the County and/or designated service provider
o All sanitary and storm manholes and catch basins have been flushed and cleaned
along with a CCTV inspection of the sanitary and storm systems
o Retaining wall structures are structurally sound and were constructed as per the approved design drawings and applicable standards
If the work required by the agreement is not completed as required in the Agreement, the
performance securities or portion thereof will be retained until the deficiencies are remedied. Upon
failure of the Proponent(s) to remedy the situation to the satisfaction of the Town, the Town may
choose to cash and/or draw upon the performance security.
If any elements of the works have been constructed contrary to the Agreement, revised plans
shall be submitted by the consulting Engineer detailing the changes which have been made and
the reasons behind the changes. The Town will review the changes to determine if they are
acceptable and whether or not an amendment to the site plan is required. If the changes are
acceptable and no Amendment is required, the Town will then inspect the site to determine
whether or not a reduction in the performance security is justified. If the changes are not
acceptable, or if an amendment is required to reflect the changes, no reduction in the performance
security respecting the changes can occur until all relevant departments/agencies have approved
the changes, or portion thereof, to have the deficiencies corrected.
The Manager of Engineering or Development Engineering Technologist and the Chief Building
Official will undertake a site inspection of the development to ensure construction conforms to the
approved stamped drawings, after which they will advise the Director of Finance in writing that
the noted site works have been completed and that an applicable portion of the performance
security can be released. In all instances, the Town will retain a portion of the performance
security (10%) until one year after all works have been completed. This is to ensure performance
security against deficiencies, which may occur within that year.

the end of the first growing season to ensure all installed landscaping has survived the winter and
is healthy.

determination of which shall be at the sole discretion of the Chief Administrative Officer and/or the
13
Director of Operations, the Town may provide Notice to the Proponent of the nature of the
failure. Such notice may provide that the Director of Finance will cash any performance security
held by the Town.
If, as a result of any work undertaken or not completed by the Owner, there exists in the opinion
of the Town’s Chief Building Official in his or her sole discretion an emergency which requires
immediate attention, the Town, its authorized employees, contractors, and agents may enter
upon the Property and complete or repair such work at the sole expense of the Owner. In the
event of such emergency, the Town shall provide written or verbal notice to the Owner at the
earliest practicable opportunity.
In the event costs are incurred by the Town in performing the works or services required to
be affected or deemed by the Town to be necessary pursuant to this Agreement, the Proponent
will forthwith pay such costs to the Town, upon demand therefore. In the event of failure by
the Proponent to pay such costs within thirty (30) business days of receiving Notice thereof from
the Town, the Town shall have the right to recover such costs by drawing upon the
performance security.
In the event the costs incurred exceed the amount of the performance security, the Town shall
have the right to recover such incurred costs by legal action or in like manner and with the
same priority as municipal taxes. The performance security may also be used to remedy
deficiencies and/or damages within the road allowance relating to the completion of development
of the subject lands.
Up to ninety percent (90%) of any performance security provided to the Town by the
Proponent may be returned by the Town to the Proponent without interest when the Works
required by the terms and provisions of this Agreement have been completed by, and at the
expense of, the Proponent to the satisfaction of the Town. Any reduction in performance
security will not occur prior to a written request by the Proponent and a recommendation by
the Chief Building Official and Manager of Engineering to the Director of Finance that such
reduction be permitted.
A maximum of ten percent (10%) of the initial performance security provided to the Town by
the Proponent shall be retained by the Town for a minimum period of one year (commencing on
the day that ninety percent (90%) of a deposit has been returned to the Proponent) as a
guarantee against any defects that may occur with regard to any building, structure or work
effected by the Proponent or on the lands pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and these
funds may be used by the Town to pay the expense of rectifying or remedying any such defect.
If, after the expiry of this one-year guarantee period, no outstanding defects are found that
relate to the lands or to any of the buildings, structures or works in or on the lands, the
performance security remaining in the hands of the Town, shall be returned to the Proponent.

6 SITE PLAN ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES
General Requirements
This section outlines the recommended requirements for the design and implementation for the
specific objectives for each matter which is subject to Site Plan Control, as well as the guidelines,
criteria and standards to be used to achieve these goals.
Other Reference Documents
Lot grading shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the latest version of this manual
as well as other industry standards and best practices, including but not limited to:
• Guidelines on Erosion and Sediment Control for Urban Construction Sites, prepared by
Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources
• Ontario Provincial Standard Specifications (OPSS) and Ontario Provincial Standard
Drawings (OPSD) prepared by the Ministry of Transportation
• Ontario Building Code (OBC)
• Applicable Town of Tillsonburg By-Laws
Location of Buildings and Facilities
The objectives of Site Plan Control for building and facility location are to demonstrate the extent
to which the massing and conceptual design of new developments:
• Minimize conflicts with adjacent land uses
• Provide a comfortable and pleasing environment for the intended uses in terms of building
orientation, form and siting
• Are consistent with or complimentary to existing buildings that are to be retained

Building Orientation
Objectives for proper orientation of buildings on a development site include the following:
• Where possible, buildings should reinforce the prevailing street pattern by aligning with
the established building line or street edge. Buildings may be set back from or placed at
an angle to the existing street edge if they are of community importance
• Where possible public views, into, through and out of a development site, should be
maintained and improved. Community identity can be achieved by ensuring views of
community features such as churches, heritage buildings, bodies of water, valleys, open
space and bridges are preserved
• New development next to parks, open space and streets should be designed to effectively
integrate with the surrounding landscape so that any change resulting from the new
development does not compromise the character of the landscape
• Buildings should be oriented to maximize energy conservation
Building Form
The scale and character of new development should reflect the existing neighborhood pattern
and/or adjacent heritage buildings. The following features of the surrounding neighbourhood
should be reflected in the new development:
• Building height
• Ground level treatments
• Ground level views
• Roof treatments
• Frontage widths
• Continuity of street face
• Facades
• Scale of doors, windows and other openings
• Canopies
• Lighting and
• Landscaping
The form created by the building should produce a sense of physical security by controlling
ingress and egress as well as providing visual surveillance of all public or common areas.

The Proponent is encouraged to consider aesthetic characteristics of adjacent development and
incorporate similar features into the design of new buildings and structures such as:
• The compatibility of materials, textures and colours
• The unique architectural details such as cornices, railings, lintels, arches, ironworks and
chimneys
Parking, Driveway and Loading Facilities Guidelines – All Developments
The requirements for parking surface material, space size and number, aisle and driveway widths
and loading facilities are to comply with Sections 5.14, 5.24 and all other applicable provisions of
the Town of Tillsonburg Zoning By-law, as amended.
6.6.1 Parking Areas
To ensure appropriate design for vehicle access and loading, all parking spaces are to be painted
with lines to delineate the location and size of spaces. Consideration may be given to alternative
surface materials such as cobblestone which allow precipitation to percolate into the soil, for any
parking spaces provided over the minimum number required.
To ensure adequate parking areas have orderly circulation and an attractive community
appearance:
• Delineate parking rows to confine traffic to designated parking aisles or driveways
• Minimize access to and from parking aisles along main internal driveways
• Design and clearly mark all accessible parking in accordance with Section 5.24.2.2 of the
Town Zoning By-Law
• Clearly identify the types of designated parking areas for employees, visitors and the
public
• Ensure public parking does not conflict with shipping, loading, garbage removal or utility
areas
• Ensure parking is not the dominant visual element in the streetscape. Screen larger
parking areas with buildings, landscaping or low walls, while still maintaining some visibility
to provide public safety by means of public surveillance
6.6.2 Parking Space Requirements
As previously mentioned, requirements for the number of parking spaces for specific types of
uses and the size of spaces are set out in the Town Zoning By-law, Section 5.24.
The number of parking spaces designated to accommodate persons with disabilities shall be in
accordance with Section 5.24.2.2 of the Town of Tillsonburg’s Zoning By-law.

6.6.3 Internal Driveways
To ensure proper flow of traffic:
• Delineate main internal driveways with raised curbs
• Avoid lengthy straight sections and use traffic calming devices to discourage high speeds
• Ensure adequate visibility of intersecting traffic movements in the design of driveways and
parking aisle intersections
• For large commercial or industrial developments, main internal driveways should be
located away from building entrances in order to minimize pedestrian and vehicle conflicts
• Aisles designed for one-way or two-way circulation should be clearly marked
• Driving lanes should widen at drop-off areas near buildings
• Turning radii shall be provided at the end of dead-end driveways
• Identify and design all required fire routes as per the Ontario Building Code and National
Fire Code
6.6.4 Off-Street Loading Facilities
To ensure loading facilities are effective:
• Sufficient space should be provided on a property to permit delivery vehicles to make all
maneuvers "off-street" away from fire routes which are to be designed to support
emergency vehicles
• Separate access or internal driveways should provide access to loading facilities which
abut the building to be served
• For commercial developments or other integrated development, the use of joint loading
facilities to serve all or several individual businesses will be encouraged
Site Plan designs should ensure that adequate waste storage facilities and enclosures are
provided to permit:
• The storage of garbage and recyclable materials between collections thereby avoiding
health, safety, and litter problems
• The efficient and safe collection of garbage by collection vehicles
• Adequate separation from other land uses including residential uses
Garbage Storage Handling Areas – All Developments
To ensure proper design and siting of waste storage facilities include the following:
• Location and accessibility – waste disposal areas should be located at the building service
entrance or rear yard which can be easily accessed by the waste collection vehicle
SITE PLAN ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES
Operations Services
The Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg

• Collection Platform Material – a concrete pad or other structurally adequate impervious
material is required to mitigate any seepage of liquid waste
• Enclosure Wall Material and Height – the enclosure should be constructed with low
maintenance durable material
• Street-fronting Townhouses should have an individual waste and recycling storage area
within or immediately associated with each unit. Common exterior storage facilities are not
recommended and will only be permitted where the Proponent demonstrates that
individual storage facilities are not feasible
• Apartments – waste and recycling is to be centrally stored in specifically designed
common storage facility
Snow Removal and Storage Areas – All Developments
To ensure proper snow removal and storage areas, include the following:
• Location of snow storage – snow storage areas should be identified on the site plan
outside of a parking area, garbage storage and pedestrian access to the building.
Appropriate grading shall be provided to manage snowmelt
• Design – parking areas, outdoor amenity areas, and pedestrian access ways should be
designed to ensure accessibility of snow removal equipment
Access – All Developments
To ensure the orderly and safe movement of traffic with minimum interference with pedestrian
traffic:
• The number of access driveways shall be minimized
• Individual residential driveways on to arterial streets should be avoided
• Access for development on a corner lot should be as far from the intersection of the two
streets as possible
• Where required, the site plan shall make provisions for the joint use of common driveways
between abutting properties
Please note that a Traffic Impact Study may be required to be submitted as part of the SPA
application. Further, a deposit may be required to have the study peer reviewed.
Pedestrian Facilities Guidelines – All Developments
To ensure the provision of safe and convenient pedestrian circulation:
• Install public sidewalks across the frontage of the site in accordance with the Town
standards. Please review the Town of Tillsonburg Development Guidelines and Design
Criteria or contact the Town of Tillsonburg for the required public sidewalk standards
• On-site walkways should join building(s), access points to parking areas, recreational
areas and public sidewalks
SITE PLAN ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES
Operations Services
The Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg
Development Guidelines and Design Criteria
6
• Link building entrances to sidewalks and parking areas by means of a safe, convenient
and well-lit walkway system
• Clearly identify walkways that cross vehicular lanes
• Provide continuous pedestrian walkways between entrances of units in buildings with
multiple tenancies
• Increase the width of the walkway where pedestrian activity is greater, such as at building
entrances
• Protect pedestrian areas from vehicular intrusion with landscaping or curbs
• Minimize grade changes between the public sidewalk and private pedestrian areas
• Design pedestrian facilities for maximized accessibility from the public sidewalk to, at least,
one main building entrance and one main parking area by incorporating sidewalk ramps
of a proper gradient and surfacing material. Compliance with the Ontario Building Code
will be required
• Recommended standards are outlined in the Built Environment Standard of the AODA
Notwithstanding the above, sidewalks shall not be required to be constructed in Restricted
Industrial (MR) and General Industrial (MG) zones, unless existing sidewalk networks exist in the
vicinity of the proposed development. If a sidewalk network is present within the vicinity of the
proposed development, the Proponent shall contact the Town Director of Operations and
Development in order to discuss required sidewalk construction and connection to the existing
sidewalk network.
Landscaping and Buffering Features Guidelines – All Developments
The following landscaping design requirements may be required on the landscape plan at the
discretion of Town staff.
Landscaping requirements, in the form of planting strips, are outlined in Section 5.25 Planting
Strips of the Town of Tillsonburg’s Zoning By-law and must be shown on the Site Plan or if
required, a separate Landscape Plan.
6.11.1 Definitions
For the purposes of these guidelines, the following definitions are applicable:
• "Landscaping" is comprised of deciduous and/or coniferous trees, shrubs, organic and
herbaceous ground cover, berms, water courses, retaining walls, fences, outdoor
furniture, and other materials or objects that may be used to enhance the function and/or
aesthetics of the landscaped area.
• "Landscaped Open Space" - means the open unobstructed space at grade on a lot and
which is suitable for the growth and maintenance of grass, flowers, bushes, trees and
other landscaping and includes any surfaced walk, patio or similar area but does not
include any driveway or ramp, whether surfaced or not, any curb, retaining wall, parking

area or any open space beneath or within any building or structure. (Section 4.97 of the
Town of Tillsonburg’s Zoning By-law).
6.11.2 Screening and Ornamental Plantings
The two basic types of landscaping are "Screening" and "Ornamental Planting." The function of
each type overlaps. Screening can also be Ornamental and vice versa. Screening and ornamental
plantings can include items such as plants, hedges, walls, fences, berms and herbaceous or
organic ground cover.
6.11.3 Plant Selection
Native plant species are strongly encouraged wherever feasible. The selection of landscaping
and plant material shall be based on the following criteria:
• Year round and seasonal Interest
• Colour
• Height and shape of planting through to maturity
• Maintenance – fertilizing; pruning and watering; plants that drop large seed pods or shrubs
with thorns or sharp edges shall be planted away from pedestrian walkways
• Function - wind protection, seasonal shading and vandal resistance
• Physical Conditions - proximity to buildings in terms of shadow and obstruction of sunlight;
roads and vehicular access ensuring sight lines are not obstructed and salt spray and
snow storage areas do not damage plantings; and Town services and utilities ensuring
root systems do not obstruct utilities above or below ground
• All plants will be certified by a landscape architect
6.11.4 Preservation of Existing Landscape Elements
Consideration should be given to the preservation, retention and improvement of existing
landscape elements such as major trees and watercourses.
Tree Protection Standards - All Developments
Tree preservation and protection is encouraged through careful site planning including the
appropriate location of buildings, facilities and servicing. In general, when trees are to be saved
in a construction area, the following recommendations have to be followed to ensure the longevity
of those trees:
• Where deemed necessary, a tree preservation report will be required and prepared by a
qualified professional. This report shall include detailed tree inventories, assessments,
discussion of alternatives and recommendations
• A snow fence or other barrier should be placed around the tree to at least the "drip line" of
the tree. The “drip line” is the outer extent of branches, regardless of tree maturity
SITE PLAN ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES
Operations Services
The Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg
Development Guidelines and Design Criteria
8
• No excavation shall be carried out within the "drip line" of trees to be preserved. Root loss
must be minimal
• No heavy equipment shall be driven over the tree lawn area within the drip line, to alleviate
soil compaction around the tree roots
• No soil or construction materials shall be piled within the drip line area or around the trunks
of trees to be preserved
If comments or questions regarding trees to be saved should arise, the services of the Town's
Parks office will be available at 519-842-9200 at any time before or during construction.
Guidelines for Commercial Developments
In general, commercial uses can have impacts on other more sensitive land uses. New
commercial uses and expanding uses must have minimal impacts on nearby sensitive land uses.
6.13.1 General Guidelines
The design should meet the following objectives:
• Ensure new developments are sited such that adjacent properties maintain sunlight
exposure, have visual privacy, protection from the new development's lighting, noise,
odour and vibration. Screen certain site elements, such as loading areas, snow storage
areas, transformers, meters, garbage enclosures and roof-top mechanical equipment from
public view
• Avoid building designs with large flat surfaces. Incorporate angles, differing setbacks,
peaked rooflines, canopies, and coloured trim to provide interesting, attractive façade(s)
• Provide safe, convenient access for persons with disabilities to all major building
entrances by means of minimal grade changes, curb cuts, ramps and railings
• Provide screening and buffering between existing residential uses and new developments
6.13.2 Commercial Development in the Downtown Core Area
Within the Downtown Core Area, locate buildings at the minimum setback line from the street and
to a width equal to the maximum frontage of the property to:
• Provide frequent and convenient pedestrian connections between buildings and the public
sidewalk
• Provide protection for pedestrians from inclement weather with shelters, canopies and
windbreaks at building entrances and along storefront facades
• Minimize the public view of off-street parking areas and servicing facilities
Commercial development within the Downtown Core Area shall reflect the recommendations and
guidelines of the Central Area Design Study (2012).

Additional Guidelines for Residential Development
The following guidelines address residential development proposals which require SPA. As
previously mentioned, SPA is required for multi-family (medium and high density) residential types
of development.
6.14.1 General Building Orientation
• Consideration should be given to locating residential buildings close to the north lot line to
increase solar access to open spaces on the site
• The proposed building(s) should not excessively shade adjacent private or public property.
In the case of multiple storey apartment buildings, a shadow study may be required to
ensure that adjacent properties are not negatively affected by the proposed development
• The long axis of apartment buildings and multiple residential buildings should be oriented
to ensure that most of the dwelling units would receive sunlight during some part of the
day
• Residential buildings exceeding 4 storeys should be sited with one of the longest walls
parallel to and not more than 6.0 m (20 feet) from a driveway that can accommodate fire
equipment
6.14.2 Separation Spaces
Separation spaces generally refer to the space between buildings on the same site. Setbacks
refer to the space between a building and the street line or property line. Separation spaces are
also required for fire protection under the Ontario Building Code. Separation spaces between
buildings and property lines should address:
• Sunlight - Space should be provided around dwellings to ensure the provision of daylight.
New housing should be located so not to deprive existing dwellings and private outdoor
spaces in the surrounding areas of adequate sunlight or daylight
• Ventilation - The space around the unit should be sufficient to permit natural ventilation of
the dwelling
• Noise and Privacy - Physical separation and/or screening should be provided between the
dwelling unit and adjacent users and activities to permit the occupant to enjoy rest and
privacy without undue interference from external noise. Windows and entrances of a

Practice for Roadway Lighting”, ANSI/IESNA RP-8-14, or the latest revision thereof.
The lighting system shall provide the average maintained light levels and meet the recommended
uniformities and veiling luminance ratios as indicated in Table 4 and 5.
“Luminance” criteria may be used for determining light levels on straight and level roads that have
a minimum length of ten (10) luminaire mounting heights.
“Illuminance” criteria to be used for intersections, curvilinear road sections, pedestrian walkways,
and bikeways.
The design criteria requirements for luminance, illuminance, and pedestrian conflict area
classifications in Tables 1 and 2 are derived from ANSI/IES RP-8-14.
The criteria listed in Table 2, for intersections, is to be applied to cover the thirty-two (32) conflict
points identified in ANSI/IES RP-8-14 (se. 5.1.2). The criteria listed in Table 4 would apply outside
of this.

Intersections shall have an illumination level equal to the sum of the recommended average
illumination levels for each of the intersecting roadways. If it is not practical to achieve this level
due to geometric constraints, then a minimum level of 50% higher than the recommended level
for the main roadway may be acceptable, subject to the Town’s approval. Alternatively, Town may
request to follow Table 8 in ANSI/IES RP-8-14, or any update of this standard.
For illumination of crosswalks (mid-block or at intersections) refer to Section 5.3 of ANSI/IES RP-
8-14.
Light levels shall be increased by 50% through school areas, libraries, recreation centres, medical
centres, railway crossings, bridges and any other location where increased conflict is possible.
The street lights shall typically be serviced with underground wiring in ducts between poles. The
luminaires shall be alternated between circuits to maintain 50% illumination upon loss of one
circuit feeder.
Light source for roadway lighting shall be long life (minimum 100,000 hours).
Power supply shall be coordinated and arranged with the Supply Authority from the nearest
feasible location. Power supply shall be unmetered and the street lights shall operate at 120 volts
60 Hz AC. Maximum voltage drop at the end of the lighting circuit shall not exceed 5% of the
supply voltage.
The design drawings shall show all surface features, all street light pole complete with ID#, all
power pedestals complete with ID#, the individual conduits from the power pedestal to the light-
emitting diode (LED) lights, the conduit from street light pole to street light pole, all utility road
crossings with dimensions from the road crossing to either a side lot line or a street light pole,

Parking Lots
Parking lot illumination has to address good visibility for drivers and pedestrians, provide good
colour rendition for security identification, and leave sufficient impact for customer attraction.
The recommended light levels for high activity community shopping developments are:
• Average maintained illuminance level 2.0 fc (20 lux) minimum. This could be increased up
to 5.0 fc (50 lux), as is common practice for current commercial developments
• Uniformity, average to minimum 4:1
The minimum recommended light levels for parking lots are:
• Minimum horizontal illuminance level 0.2 fc (2 lux)
• Uniformity ratio, maximum to minimum 20:1
Roadways
The recommended light levels for the site roadway zones are:
• Average maintained illuminance level 0.9 fc (9.0 lux)
• Uniformity, average to minimum 6:1
STREETLIGHTING
Operations Services

Pedestrian Walkways
The recommended light levels for pedestrian walkways up to and surrounding any commercial
buildings are:
• Average maintained illuminance level for medium activity areas 2.0 fc (20 lux) and high
activity areas 4.0 fc (40 lux)
• Uniformity, average to minimum 4:1
Site Restriction
The recommended light levels projected onto a residential property (spill light) shall not exceed
0.1 vertical foot candles, measured line-of-site at the property line.
Pylon Signs
Externally illuminated pylon signs shall have the light source aimed downward towards the sign.
8.2.3 Lighting Configurations and Pole Offsets
All streets are to employ a staggered streetlight configuration with pole offsets from EP as per
TAC criteria or on shoulder rounding.
In rural areas where TAC pole offsets outside the clear zone are not possible, frangible breakaway
bases may be used. Frangible bases are not permitted at intersections and areas where
pedestrians are expected.
Pole offsets that are identified on the Town’s Typical Road Cross Sections take
precedence.
Lights at signalized intersections should be combined with joint-use traffic signal poles wherever
possible.
On curved roadways, the light poles should be positioned on the inside of curves, if possible.
Alternatively, light poles may be placed on the outside of curves, but shall be kept out of the
vehicle overrun area (the extension of the tangent in the direction of vehicle travel).
Street lights and power pedestals should be located on the extension side lot lines where possible.
8.2.4 Installation
The installation of the street lighting system shall be in compliance with ESA, CSA, the Hydro
Supply Authority requirements, the Town’s standards and specifications, as well as the
manufacturer’s installation instructions.

Cross-Sections as part of Appendix A of this manual. Where this location cannot be provided, the
Proponent shall submit a suitable alternative for the Town’s approval.
Storm Sewers shall be terminated with a maintenance hole at the subdivision limits when external
drainage areas are considered in the design.
10.3.1.2 Existing Infrastructure
Location of replacement storm sewers shall be determined specifically based on the location of
existing utilities and other site conditions. All efforts shall be made to design in accordance with
the Town’s Standard Drawings and Typical Cross-Sections as part of Appendix A of this manual.
10.3.1.3 Horizontal and Vertical Separation
Clearances between watermains, sanitary and storm sewers shall be based on the MECP
Procedure F-6-1: Procedures to Govern the Separation of Sewers and Watermains.
The Town prefers a minimum horizontal separation of 2.5 m from outer wall of adjacent sewers
and a minimum vertical separation of 500mm. The Proponent shall ensure that the excavation of
storm sewer utilizing an open cut method will not disturb the bedding of neighbouring
infrastructure.
10.3.2 Drainage System Calculations
The urban stormwater drainage system consists of the minor system and the major system, as
outlined in Table 1.

10.3.3 Design Flow
Storm sewers shall be designed to collect stormwater runoff from pervious and impervious
surfaces both on private and public lands.
Storm sewers shall be designed to accommodate a minimum 5-year design flow (see Table 1
above) without surcharge. The capacity of the sewer shall be determined on the basis of the pipe
at or below 80% full flow. Design flow rates shall be sized using the Rational Method as follows: CIA Q = 360
where,
Q = peak flow (m3/s)
C = runoff coefficient (dimensionless)
I = average rainfall intensity (mm/h)
A = contributing drainage area (hectares)
Design flows for storm sewer networks shall be calculated using the Rational Method for each
maintenance hole reach and shall be submitted to the Town using the Storm Sewer Design Sheet
provided in Appendix A of this manual.
10.3.4 Rainfall Intensity
The Rainfall Intensity (“I”) shall be based on the Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves
provided below. It should be noted that IDF curves are subject to review and may be altered from
time to time to more accurately represent local trends in rainfall patterns, including impacts due
to climate change.
For most residential and industrial developments, the rainfall intensity shall be determined from
the formula indicated on the IDF Curve chart for the respective storm for the 1 in 5-year storm.
Under special circumstances the Town may request a 1 in 10-year storm be used to determine
rainfall intensity for major trunk sewers.

i = A x t C 𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵
where,
i = rainfall intensity (mm/h)
tC = time of concentration (minutes)
A and B are IDF values (dimensionless)
10.3.5 Time of Concentration
The time of concentration (tC) shall be 15 minutes for most low density residential, open spaces,
industrial, commercial and medium to high density residential.
For undeveloped lands upstream or external rural drainage, the Consulting Engineer shall
calculate the initial time of concentration for upstream, undeveloped land utilizing the Airport
Method Equation or the Bransby Williams Formula as per the MTO Drainage Manual, and provide
documentation supporting the calculations.
In watersheds with a runoff coefficient, C, greater than 0.40, the Bransby Williams formula a
typically accepted method. The Bransby Williams Formula is as follows: 0.057 ∙ L
where,
tC = 𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤 0.2 ∙ 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴0.1
tC = time of concentration (minutes)
A = area (square metres)
L = watershed length (metres)
Sw = watershed slope (%)
For watersheds where the runoff coefficient, C, is less than 0.40, the Airport formula gives a better
estimate of time of concentration. The Airport Method Equation is as follows: 3.26 × (1.1 − C) × L0.5
where,
tC = 𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤 0.33
tC = time of concentration (minutes)
C = runoff coefficient (dimensionless)
L = watershed length (metres)
Sw = watershed slope (%)

10.3.6 Contributing Drainage Area
The Drainage Area (“A”) shall be determined based on the proposed general area grading plans
(and using available contour mapping for upstream unplanned and undeveloped lands).
When the design abuts undeveloped areas, the Consulting Engineer shall review and confirm the
external watershed limits.
Any deviations to the existing mapped areas shall be reviewed and approved by the Town and
the Long Point Region Conservation Authority (LPRCA). Areas, coefficients and times of
concentration shall be shown for all drainage areas within external watershed limits.
10.3.7 Runoff Coefficients
The runoff coefficient (“C”) is based on the relative perviousness of the drainage area and varies
based on the type of land use. Mixed land uses and reconstructions will require a composite
(blended) runoff coefficient based on an area-weighted average of coefficients to represent
specific land uses. The typical runoff coefficients are outlined in Table 3.

11 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
11.1 General Requirements
This section covers the recommended approach for the design, analysis and implementation of
the stormwater management (SWM) systems for residential, commercial, institutional and
industrial developments within the Town of Tillsonburg. The purpose of this section is to outline
the recommended criteria for stormwater management system design that will ultimately be
assumed by the Town and should be read in conjunction with Section 10 – Storm Sewers.
Prior to initiating the preparation of the stormwater management, the Proponent must consult with
the Long Point Region Conservation Authority (LPRCA) and the Town of Tillsonburg on the
stormwater management criteria that shall be utilized in the design and analysis of the
development. Criteria issued by these agencies shall be applied to the design of the SWM system.
Detailed stormwater design sheets are to be included in all subdivision and site plan development
applications.
11.2 Reference Documents
All stormwater management systems shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the
latest version of this manual, as well as other industry standards and best practices, including but
not limited to:
• Ontario Provincial Standard Specifications (OPSS) and Ontario Provincial Standard
Drawings (OPSD) prepared by the Ministry of Transportation (MTO)
• Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual (current revision – 2003) prepared
by the Ministry of the Environment Conservation and Parks (MECP)
• Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Urban Construction (current revision – 2006)
prepared by the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area Conservation Authorities
• The Low Impact Development Stormwater Management Planning and Design Guide
prepared by the Toronto and Region and Credit Valley Conservation Authorities
11.3 Objectives
The stormwater management system for each development shall satisfy the following objectives:
1. Ensure compliance with all applicable Town requirements, standards, provincial
guidelines
2. Maintain and promote low impact, sustainable stormwater management for the expanding
urban system
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Operations Services
The Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg
Development Guidelines and Design Criteria
2
3. Ensure implementation of safe, environmentally conscience, easily maintained, and cost-
effective stormwater management facilities
11.3.1 Stormwater Quantity Objectives
A distinction shall be made between developments within a new planning area and those
developments occurring established neighbourhood. The distinction shall be made by the Town
of Tillsonburg in conjunction with other regulatory agencies, such as the LPRCA.
The stormwater management design for developments within new planning areas shall implement
the recommendations of the pre-consultation with LPRCA and the Town of Tillsonburg. Typically,
the development shall be required to control all post-development flows to the corresponding pre-
development flow rates (greenfield) unless otherwise stated in a previously completed
subwatershed master plan. Should the development fall within a subwatershed master plan, the
development shall control flows according to the allocated flows specified.
The stormwater management system design for developments occurring in an established
neighbourhood shall control all post-development flows to the corresponding pre-development
flow rate unless the lands have already been included in existing completed downstream SWM
facilities, or as otherwise directed by the Town or LPRCA. The site must be designed to detain
sufficient volumes on-site in order to ensure that post-development peak flow rates do not exceed
pre-development flow rates for the same design storm events, and to ensure existing downstream
infrastructure and conveyance systems are not surcharged, resulting in flooding and significant
damages.
All developments shall be designed to safely convey overland flows to an adequate outlet.
11.3.2 Stormwater Quality Objectives
For all residential, commercial, institutional and industrial developments, the Town requires
Enhanced Water Quality Protection (80% Total Suspended Soils Removal) as described in the
Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual prepared by the MOE (2003) prior to
discharge from the site to the receiving outlet.
Where there is a potential for spill contamination, developments are to provide an appropriate
containments and pretreatment prior to discharging from the site to a stormwater management
facility. Only “clean” runoff shall be allowed to be infiltrated.
Should the development be located within a Source Water Protection Zone, consultation with
LPRCA, Oxford County and the Town will be required prior to design of any infiltration systems.
11.4 Water Balance
Best Management Practices recommend that post-development groundwater recharge rates
replicate pre-development rates within new urban development. Groundwater recharge shall only
occur however in areas deemed appropriate by the Town, Oxford County, LPRCA, and MECP.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Operations Services
The Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg
Development Guidelines and Design Criteria

A site-specific water balance calculation shall be completed using the water balance method as
documented in the MOE’s Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual. Infiltration
facilities shall be designed to ensure that the annual infiltration volume for the post-development
condition matches the volume for the pre-development condition.
11.5 Low Impact Development
The Town encourages innovative use of Low Impact Development (LID) devices for stormwater
management systems both for new development and infill/brownfield re-developments where
feasible. LID practices include the incorporation of “green infrastructure” such as infiltration
basins, green roofs, bioretention swales, and other conveyance swale methods within the
municipal stormwater management facility as well as specific installations within stormwater
facility block.
The installation and implementation of LID systems within the stormwater facility block shall be
subject to consultation and approval with the Town (and County if applicable) prior to approval
and installation. These LID systems are to be low maintenance and cost-effective. The Developer
shall provide an estimated maintenance cost schedule analysis for the lifetime of the proposed
LID system to the Town.
Draft Operations and Maintenance manuals for any LID systems that the Town will assume shall
be provided to the Town for review prior to approval.
Should the development fall within Source Water Protection Zones, consultation with LPRCA,
Oxford County and the Town will be required prior to design of LID systems.
11.6 Municipal Drain Considerations
Stormwater management systems that outlet to a municipal drain shall control the allowable run-
off rates from the development to the specified allotted run-off or contributing flow in the most
recent version of the municipal drainage report.
Should the municipal drain outlet prove to be insufficient, the consultant shall follow the
appropriate process as outlined in the Municipal Drainage Act to establish a sufficient outlet.
In situations where stormwater is to outlet to a municipal drain, consultation with the Town and
LPRCA will be required prior to the design of the system.
11.7 Requirements for Stormwater Management Report
The requirements for quantity and quality control of stormwater run-off management and
supporting report or criteria shall be assessed on an individual project basis.
Design concepts for stormwater management facilities and designs will generally (after
consultation with the Town of Tillsonburg, and LPRCA) follow the reference documents listed
above and shall be subject to the above-mentioned review agencies.
Generally, all Stormwater Management Reports are to include:

14 LOT GRADING
14.1 General Requirements
This section outlines the recommended requirements for the design and implementation of lot
grading for residential, industrial and commercial developments, as well as infill lots and municipal
infrastructure renewal/rehabilitation projects.
The grading of all lots and blocks in new development must be carefully monitored by the
Consultant to provide grades that are suitable for the erection of buildings and to provide
satisfactory drainage from all lands within and outside the development. In this regard, the design
of the grading for all developments will be of primary concern to the municipality and the following
criteria shall be used in preparation of all lot grading plans for new developments. In applying the
criteria, while maximum limits are specified, the main objective is to ensure that the property owner
(i.e. Resident) will have maximum usage of their property while still providing good drainage.
Consequently, the Town wishes to avoid designing to the maximum or minimum limits as specified
unless all other options have been exhausted.
14.2 Other Reference Documents
Lot grading shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the latest version of this manual
as well as other industry standards and best practices, including but not limited to:
• Guidelines on Erosion and Sediment Control for Urban Construction Sites, prepared by
Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources
• Ontario Provincial Standard Specifications (OPSS) and Ontario Provincial Standard
Drawings (OPSD) prepared by the Ministry of Transportation
• Ontario Building Code (OBC)
• Applicable Town of Tillsonburg By-Laws
• Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA)
14.3 Grading Requirements
New Subdivision Developments
Subdivisions created by a draft plan of subdivision shall conform to the lot grading standards
within this section. The design will be implemented as to not negatively affect the drainage or
usability of the abutting or adjacent properties.
Infill Lots
Developments created by severance or infill lots for residential lots shall conform to the lot grading
standards and are not to negatively affect the abutting and/or adjacent properties.

When grading is required, the Consultant or Designer shall determine match points that naturally
blend proposed design grades with existing topography. Consideration shall be given to the
following:
•Intersection streets
•Existing driveway profiles
•Existing drainage patterns
•Utilities structures
•Retaining wall structures
•Impacts on municipal and/or private trees (and other landscaping features)
Where ever possible the consultant or designer shall reduce the size or completely eliminate
retaining wall structures owned or maintained by the Town.
Considerations shall be given to the maintenance and aesthetics of grassed areas such as lawns
and boulevards.
14.4 Design Considerations
Lot drainage is to be self-contained within the limits of the subdivision. All medium and high
density residential, commercial, and industrial drainage shall be contained within the block.
The boulevard and a minimum of 7.5m at the front of any residential lot must drain towards the
abutting road.
All surface runoff shall be directed away from the house into defined swales which outlet to the
street or rear yard swales.
Drainage from single dwelling lots may drain between other single dwelling lots in the same
development when the drainage is contained in swales. (either rear or side yard).
14.5 Drainage Surfaces
All lot surfaces shall be constructed to a 1.7% minimum grade and a maximum of 8.0%.
Hard surfaces (i.e. patio and pool decks) within the rear yard of residential developments may be
constructed to a 0.5% minimum grade.
The grade of driveways and walkways shall not exceed 8% maximum. Driveways shall not have
a negative slope from the streetline to the building and shall have a minimum grade of 2% to
provide positive drainage away from the building.

15 PARKLAND AND STREETSCAPING
15.1 General Requirements
This section outlines the recommended approach and design considerations for parklands,
streetscaping and access paths as part of developments within the Town of Tillsonburg.
It is the preference of the Town and advantageous to all parties that parklands be constructed to
an end use condition less Town installed facilities once phase one of the development reaches
35% completion.
15.2 Parkland Requirements
Consultation with the Town to develop the layout of parkland should be expected. The Town
reserves the right to require additional conditions depending on residential density and location
within the Town prior to design. This may include, but is not limited to, play equipment, trails,
pedestrian cross overs, lighting, landscaping, park furnishings and tree plantings.
It is recommended that developers initiate dialogue with all parties regarding parkland designs
and requirements as soon as practically feasible.
15.3 Grading Plans
For all lands dedicated for park purposes the developer is responsible for preparing a detailed
grading plan that meets all applicable requirements of Section 14 – Lot Grading, unless amended
within this section.
Grading within the parkland or woodland parks are to be optimized for public use subject to review
on a case by case basis. Grading of parks and open spaces adjacent to natural heritage areas
shall be delineated by appropriate erosion & sediment control fencing as per Section 14 and/or
as directed by a site-specific Environmental Impact Study (EIS).
15.4 Grading
Park grading shall provide positive flow from all facilities and adjacent private lands. Limited
drainage from private lands may be directed to parkland if it can be accommodated within the
park drainage design. Parkland grading and alteration shall be identified in the subdivision grading
plan where applicable.
Pathways shall generally be set as high points through the park with positive drainage away from
them. Limited amounts of sheet flow may be permitted to cross pathways in certain circumstances
in consultation with the Town.
Park grading shall be smooth flowing and shown with spot elevations as required to demonstrate
desired slopes, top-of-bank, field corners, and hard surface grades. Swales are to curve to suit
facility layout, pathway alignments and natural topographical features.

Specifications, Classifications and Use of Turfgrass Sod for Nursery Sod Growers Association of
Ontario.
Sod is to be seeded and established in nursery sod fields as a turfgrass sod. There shall be no
more than 5 broadleaf weeds per 40 square metres of sod and up to 20% non-specified grass.
Sod shall be of sufficient density that no surface soil is visible. The grass height is to be between
30mm minimum and 70mm maximum.
15.10 Tree Preservation
Prior to any grading or construction, it is important to evaluate existing trees to retain as many as
possible. It is required that a certified arborist, Registered Professional Forester or other qualified
person with appropriate training and experience be employed by the Developer to carry out such
evaluations on both private and public lands.
15.10.1 Prior to Construction
In areas of reconstruction or within infrastructure renewal projects, tree protection measures must
be considered to limit the health impacts on trees within the public rights-of-way and adjacent
properties.
15.10.2 Tree Protection Zones
A tree protection zone (TPZ) is the calculated area around the base of a tree that is designated
for tree protection both above and below ground. Caution and alternative construction methods

Subject: Snow Storage Requirement – Van Norman Innovation Park
Report Number: EDM 22-06
Department: Economic Development Department
Submitted by: Cephas Panschow
Meeting Type: Council Meeting
Meeting Date: Monday, February 28, 2022
RECOMMENDATION
THAT Council receives Report EDM 22-06 Snow Storage Requirement – Van Norman
Innovation Park;
AND THAT Council approve the allocation of 4 acres of industrial land in the Van Norman
Innovation Park to the Public Works Department for the purposes of maintaining the
Town’s existing snow storage area.
BACKGROUND
The Operations and Development Department has made a request for 4 acres of land in
the Van Norman Innovation Park in order to maintain the existing snow storage area,
which has been a longstanding use of the lands. This snow dump/storage area is for
snow that is removed from the downtown when the Town has experienced a significant
snowfall event.
It was never the understanding of the Economic Development & Marketing Department
that this use had to be maintained once the lands were developed into an industrial park.
However, based on concerns raised by the former and current Director of Operations and
Development recently, it is now an important consideration based on the fact that
replacing this grandfathered use with a new snow melt and water quality control facility is
estimated to cost in excess of $1 – 2 Million.
If these lands are transferred to the Operations & Development Department free of
charge, this would impact the cost recovery for the Van Norman Innovation Park as the
revenue for these lands has been included in cost recovery calculations for the innovation
EDM 22-06
Page 2 of 5
park development. Hence, Staff are providing this information to Council prior to
removing these lands from being available for purchase and development.
DISCUSSION
The 16.28 Acre parcel of industrial land in the Van Norman Innovation Park is the largest
parcel of industrial land available for development. The parcel contains a longstanding
access to the former landfill site owned and managed by the County of Oxford to the
South as well as rough graded area that has been historically used for snow storage and
melting purposes.
Subject Property – 16.28 Acre Parcel
This parcel has been proposed to be developed and sold for a large scale industrial use
and could support anywhere from a 142,000 square foot building (minimum 20% lot
coverage) to 496,000 square foot building (maximum 70% lot coverage) with related
employment. While it is unlikely that the site will be developed to the maximum 70% lot
EDM 22-06
Page 3 of 5
coverage permitted by the Zoning Bylaw, it clearly can support a large scale industrial
development.
The Operations and Development Department has indicated that they require a minimum
4 acres of the 16.28 Acre lot to maintain the existing snow storage/melt operations.
Allocating 4 acres of land to snow storage will reduce the available land for development
to 12.28 Acres.
A 12.28 Acre parcel of land could support anywhere from a 107,000 square foot building
(minimum 20% lot coverage) to 374,000 square foot building (maximum 70% lot
coverage). This reduction in potential building size represents an approximately 25
percent reduction in the potential of the property.
Subject Property – Snow Storage Area
Nevertheless, preliminary investigations by the Operations and Development Department
have indicated that replacing this existing use with a new facility built to modern standards
would cost a minimum $1 – 2 Million with the potential for it to cost more. These costs
would include, but are not limited to, environmental assessment, site selection,
geology/hydrogeology studies, preliminary and detailed design, permitting/approvals, and
construction costs
EDM 22-06
Page 4 of 5
Hence, it appears that the best way forward is to allocate 4 Acres of land to maintain the
existing snow storage/melt area.
The one concern that the Development Commissioner has identified is the mixing of a
“dump” type use in a proposed Innovation Park. Hence, the Development Commissioner
is proposing that the Operations and Development Department be required to fence and
landscape the snow storage area with a row of suitable trees or plantings. This will help
improve the aesthetics of the area while maintaining the use.
It should be noted that the previous access to the snow storage/melt area off Highway 3
has been removed as part of the draft Plan of Subdivision conditions for Ministry of
Transportation Approval and a new access west of Progress Drive to the County landf ill
property has been constructed as part of the Servicing Contract. This access will serve
as the new access to the snow storage/melt area.
CONSULTATION
The potential to relocate the existing snow storage/melt area to the land south of the
Storm Water Pond was explored in consultation with the Design Engineer – CJDL
Consulting Engineers, but access to that property was not possible and even modest
relocation of the snow storage/melt area would have triggered various Provincial
approvals and a new facility.
The Director of Operations and Development has reviewed this report and noted the
following:
If required, costs for any fence installation and/or tree plantings would have to be
investigated and brought back for consideration.
A new snow melt facility would require an environmental assessment, site
selection, geology/hydrogeology studies, preliminary and detailed design,
permitting/approvals, and construction costs.
FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
Removing 4 Acres of land from the Town’s industrial land inventory will result in the loss
of an estimated $200,000 in revenue based on current prices for lands in the Van Norman
Innovation Park. This will impact overall cost recovery for the Van Norman Innovation
Park and reduce funds available for future industrial initiatives.
Town staff are currently in the process of completing the financial aspects of servicing
phase 1 of the Van Norman Innovation Park, including claims to the Provincial
Government for the funding awarded under the Southwestern Ontario Development
Fund. Staff will be providing an update to Council on the Financial Impact of the entire
project once further details have been finalized.

Should Council direct staff to move forward with this allocation, the financial impact will
expand to include this impact.

Report from BIA Chair – ED02-01
To: Economic Development Advisory Committee
From: Cedric Tomico – DTBIA Chair
Date: March 1st, 2022
Subject: DTBIA business update
The following status report is provided to the ECDEV Advisory Committee:
Financial/budget:
- 2022 expenses tracking significantly below budget.
- Upside revenue with funding applications that are submitted, some of which were not
planned for/anticipated.
- We have received notification of a positive funded application from Service Canada –
4 full-time, (temporary) funded positions from May – August – value $22,000 +/-.
Operations & Beautification:
- 2022 beautification plan is coming together – stakeholder meeting scheduled for
March 11th in the DTBIA boardroom
- Pop-up patios: The Town has suggested the introduction of fees for patios on town-
owned lands. This would be a radical departure from what is happening elsewhere in
Ontario. City of Toronto has waived all fees for patio applications, operations and
encroachment permit charges for the 2022 season. The DTBIA will be requesting no
permit, application or other fees/charges for the 2022 season given the fragility of the
hospitality sector. Many other municipalities have paid for standard fencing, garden
boxes and other fees. 30/35 BIA’s who attending the March 1st, 2022 OBIAA call
indicated that their home municipality is not imposing any fees for pop-up/permanent
patios for the 2022 season.
Membership:
- The DTBIA team is actively supporting the membership needs as required.
- No business closures thus far in FY ’22.
- Members report stable business results, anticipate improvement(s) with restrictions
being lifted.
- HR challenges are prevalent – more than 30 member businesses in hiring mode.
Page 2 of 2
Façade Improvement Program:
- Several projects in the pipeline. The FIP committee met March 2nd, 2022 to review
progress, timelines, budget, outstanding items and process improvements. There are
no areas of concern. Projects are being supported on an ongoing basis. No new
applications have been received.
Governance:
- Three new members were appointed by Town Council at the February 28th, 2022 town
council meeting including Ben Cressman (Strathallen, 200 Broadway); Michael Bossy
(BNG 45 Ridout St. W.); Emily Birtwell (164 Broadway, Dominion Lending Centers).
Board is now 10 members. The board serves until January 1st, 2023; or until such a
time as their successors are appointed.
Events & Marketing:
- The community calendar with all downtown events has been reactivated in
conjunction with the health restrictions being loosened. This is posted at
downtowntillsonburg.com
- Additional video content has been created and posted to our social media channels.
- Metrics for social media engagement and website hits continue to track very
positively/favourably.
- Continue to migrate to new logos, colours and themes so as to be consistent with the
brand image.
- Increased integration of Tillsonburg Town Center marketing initiatives into general
DTBIA communication.
Socio-economic impacts:
There continues to be increasing incidents of houselessness; litter; safety concerns;
identification of hazards – sharps, drug residues, etc; in the BIA zone. To monitor and
remediate these issues has impacted our costs. DTBIA staff are on the street – 7 days a week,
3 hours a day to monitor and remediate these issues/concerns. The ED is often contacted
outside of normal business hours to receive feedback/concerns and areas that need
immediate corrective action. Some of these costs should be in the purview of the Town of
Tillsonburg and County of Oxford (Human Services).
Summary:
We continue to work with the membership on the supports needed to ensure continued
resiliency of the BIA zone. New scorecards are being introduced to track various metrics to
evaluate areas for improvement or to support activities that are proven successful.
As always, feedback and suggestions are welcomed.
