1. Committee of Adjustment Application - A-10103 -Mr. Don Bristow Cj
Presented By: Mr. Paul Michiels, Planner, County of Oxford
Notice of Public Hearing...
Correspondence received from Hickory Hills Residents Association - July 23, 2003...
Correspondence received from Brighton Construction (Agent) deferring application on July
16, 2003
Report from County Planner...
Communications received with respect to this application:
Hickory Hills Residents Association, Architectural Review Committee...
Wanda and Albert Hirsch...
Dorothy and Grant Rice ... Audrey and J.Kent Schuppert...
Wolfgang Kayser and neighbouring residents...
Mr. P. Michiels reviewed the attached report as prepared by the County of Oxford
Planning Department. The applicant was proposing to construct a sunroom to the rear of
an existing single detached dwelling. He noted that at the time of the report, he had not
received comments from the Hickory Hills Residents Association or neighbours.
Mayor Horton questioned if the Planner had received information from the Hickory Hills
Residents Association prior to the report completion whether this would have influenced
his recommendation. Mr. Michiels commented that he would have made the same
recommendation but would have noted comments of the Association and those of the
A"'\ neighbours, as the comments are looked at.

MINUTES: Meeting for the Committee "Open Council"
No one spoke in support of this application. Several residents spoke in opposition to it.
Mr. Kayser, 25 Brasher Drive requested the variance be rejected as the backyards
between Brasher and Armstrong had very little space between them.
Mr. M. Gunning, 5 Armstrong Drive indicated there was 5 feet between the two homes,
there was not much privacy. If the sunroom was constructed, the Bristow's would see
directly into his bedroom and his privacy and view would be gone. He noted that one
person would be taking away the view of 5 families. He believed the proposed sunroom
was far too big and the minor variance should be denied.
Mr. L. Phillips, President of the Hickory Hills Residents Association proceeded to read the
letter he submitted to the Committee of Adjustment (attached above). The Association
concluded the addition was not suitable and would negatively impact the neighbours and
general appearance of the area, and recommended the request for minor variance be
denied. He further noted the Association was only advised after the application was filed
with the Town.
Councillor Molnar stated that because this property was a corner lot it was therefore larger
than most interior lots. This would not impact the corner but it would impact the rear area
of the lots. There is a flow there now and not a great deal of buffer between the rear of
both streets. He noted it appeared that residents would like to keep it that way and the
proposal would stand outside the normal permitted use for that area.
Mr. Phillips further stated the location of the corner lot was at the end of a row, and a
sunroom would block it off there for everybody. The neighbours were not happy with the
situation as it would impact and affect them and cause a sense of enclosure. If the
property was against the ravine it would have a different affect.
Councillor Lewis questioned whether the Hickory Hills Residents Association had been in
favour of the zoning By-law that was passed, encompassing all porches, decks, etc. Mr.
Phillips acknowledged that the Association had been in favour of it. Corner lots were
involved in this, but not sunrooms, for the most part the rezoning was to acknowledge
existing decks. In the early days of construction, many formal and informal approvals
were made, and record keeping was not as good as it could have been.
Councillor Lewis questioned whether the Association was trying to protect a corridor of
green space. Mr. Phillips indicated yes. Councillor Lewis further questioned whether
residents who backed onto that green space might agree to not building any decks. Mr.
Phillips stated that a deck was recommended to Mr. Bristow as a more favourable
solution.
Mr. D. Bristow spoke in support of his application. He stated that anyone could put a deck
on the back of their home or a privacy fence that would extend the same distance as the
proposed sunroom and would have the same affect. He stated that the blue spruce trees
behind the homes in 5 years time would be 25 feet high and will block all views off
anyway. He stated that the comments about his window were out of line, and the window
would not be covered by the sunroom.
Councillor Smith commented that the whole design of Hickory Hills was based on smaller
lots. Council of day had concerns with the sizes of the lots (50% maximum coverage of
lot was to be all that would be permitted) and that justified the smaller lots. The difficulty
?"WN comes in with sunrooms and he could personally see nothing but problems. He was
concerned the County had approved this application, as a certain space is needed for a
Page 3
MINUTES: Meeting for the Committee "Open Council"
rear lot. The average lot coverages for any other lot (i.e. Baldwin Place) is 30% and will
be 33% in the future which is a big difference. He could not support this application as
others he had not supported in the past. He believed it was important to keep this open
space, he would remain consistent and will deny any sunrooms in the future as well.
Council had heard a lot from residents in the area, and there must be an attempt to
protect them. Because of the lot coverage and size of homes, it would be wrong to block
those rear yards in.

F. Lewis wanted the record to show that the motion was a negative motion, his vote was
nay, so he was in agreement with the Councillors, the problem was with it being a
negative motion, 1. Horton clarified the resolution was not as Councillor Lewis had
expected it to be, and that Councillor Lewis was in agreement with the decision of Council,
although it was not recorded that way.
2. Committee of Adjustment Application - A-11/03 - Henry Dalm Construction [j
Presented By: Presented By: Mr. Paul Michiels, Planner, County of Oxford
Notice of Public Hearing
Mr. Paul Michiels, County Planner, reviewed the attached report as prepared by the
County of Oxford Planning Department. The applicant was proposing to construct a one
storey single detached dwelling with an attached garage on the property. The variance
was also requested as the future road allowance abutting the property to the east has not
yet been dedicated to the Town and opened as a public street. As a result, vehicular
access to the property through the exterior side yard is currently prohibited, limiting the
design alternatives.
Mr. Dalm, the applicant, was present in support of the subject application.
No other persons appeared in support of, or in opposition to this application.
The following resolution was passed.

3. Brookside Subdivision/Extension of Glendale Dr. & Allen St. Ej
Presented By: CAO
Hand Delivered to Highlighted Areas on Map...
Additional correspondence received with respect to this matter...

Correspondence from Mr. John Moylan... Moylan.pdf
The CAO provided a brief overview of the subdivision plans and stated the meeting had
be advertised to allow the public to express their opinions, obtain any comments from
residents, and to bring the public up to date on the direction of this subdivision and future
public process.
The following information was provided by the CAO. There will be a second access off of
Quarterline Road, south of CASO Rail Line, a slight shift of the northerly street so that the
lots between Belmont and Brookside Lane will be larger. Allen Street will be shifted
northerly so the portion to the west along the ravine will have deeper lots. A sidewalk will
be on the southerly side of Glendale only, cash in lieu of sidewalks for the north sidewalks
could be paid by the developer. This cash can be used elsewhere in the development.
Glendale Drive from the original concept was to be extended, this plan shows being
constructed over the ravine. It is recognized that Glendale, westerly by school is not up to
standard, and if constructed over ravine, it would be barriered and no traffic will be
allowed over there until it is brought up to standard (curb, gutter, and asphalt).
Mayor Horton stated no decisions would be made this evening, this was an information
meeting to update the public with the direction we are going in. The developer will make
an application for a plan of subdivision which will come back for approval by this Council
and County Council. There will be a public process in the future if anyone wishes to
participate.
Mr. Jerry Turner, 81 Glendale, questioned if Glendale was brought up to standard, who
Page 5
60
MINUTES: Meeting for the Committee "Open Council"
would pay for sidewalks and the road. The CAO clarified that according to current
practice, roads are constructed under the general tax rate, not charged to specific
properties, and are paid by the municipality. The municipality sets aside so much from
reserves for capital works, set by long term prioritization and to be done within those dollar
allocations. This will not be done in the foreseeable future. Mayor Horton confirmed
bringing Glendale up to standard would be a substantial undertaking and will not take
place in the near future.
John Lathier, 64 Glendale Drive asked what the near future meant. He also noted the last
time at Council, there was a plan for a walk bridge to be constructed at the end of
Glendale Drive and he questioned who was putting forward the proposal to change this
and why. The CAO indicated he was not in position to say even in 10 years. All streets
have just had traffic counts which will establish an on need basis to determine the
priorities. A capital forecast will be prepared and put before Council. It will be evaluated
with each Business Plan each year. Quartertown Line Road will have a much higher
traffic count and be upgraded first due to the deficiency in the road and the traffic counts.
The CAO further indicated the there had been an number of options, this is option C,
there are 2 others. This option was reviewed by Council and staff and was a compromise
to address as many issues as possible. The Official Plan had designated Glendale Drive
going from Broadway out to Quartertown Line. The indication at the time was that leaving
that off the OP would not be supported by County Council. The plan addresses that
Glendale Drive is not up to standard. The developer is required to build Glendale which
will be a substantial cost. That cost should not be lost or deferred to the municipality in
the future when Glendale is upgraded. There was a feeling that if we do not open
Glendale at this time, we must open another access from Quarterline and this is the
compromise.
Mrs. Jean Jarvis, 69 Allen Street, asked about having an access out to Quaterline. The
CAO indicated originally, Glendale was the only access onto Quarterline to the north and
there will be a second access. Allen Street will be built through immediately. Mrs. Jarvis
expressed concern that when going from Allen onto Broadway, it was a problem now and
if there was more traffic, it will worsen. She suggested a traffic light be considered at
Carolina Street and Broadway. The CAO agreed this was a good point.
Mr. Biff Jarvis, 69 Allen Street spoke in support of a traffic light. His other concern was
that although this was a residential street, there was a lot of fast traffic. He recommended
the speed limit be posted at 40 kms. Mayor Horton stated his concerns were being noted
and the Town would attempt to address them.
Les Burden, 79 Glendale Drive, indicated when he purchased his home in 1987 he knew
about the subdivision to the north, but was not aware of Brookside. He agreed that
Glendale had become a racetrack, and if open to Brookside, it would make it worse. He
commented there must be other means of access in and out of both subdivisions. He also
agreed it does take time to get across Broadway.
D. Baxter, 8 Glenridge Road, commented there were some exclusive looking houses in
the area, residents were looking for privacy, not racing cars through there. He indicated
the fastest way to get from Concession to Quartertown Line is fastest way to get
emergency equipment / vehicles. He does not think Glendale should be extended, and
that Brookside should be left private. If Glendale is reconstructed then Glenridge should
be reconstructed.
Mr. J. Lathier, 64 Glendale Drive, questioned if consideration had be given to extending
Page 6
MINUTES: Meeting for the Committee "Open Council"
Allen from Brookside from the old railway line, it would eliminate flow onto Christie and
become a third access.
Councillor Molnar questioned the CASO Rail Line and status, and whether it could be
used at the west corridor. The CAO indicated the County of Oxford is looking at acquiring
all of the land that goes through the County and are interested in purchasing the
right-of-way right through the County. Mayor Horton stated it had not been determined
whether it would be a transportation or utility corridor at this time.
Cathy Gooding, 118 Glendale Drive, asked if the monies designated for the sidewalk
would go back into Brookside subdivisions amenities. The CAO commented that general
reserves were for infrastructure work, and if there was something else the developer was
considering doing in that subdivision, Council would consider it.
Terry Ward, 121 Allen Street asked how many stop signs, and speed bumps were going
in. He had experienced cars on his lawn and had his garbage run over. He expressed
concern if the road went through, cars would be going even faster.
Councillor Molnar stated Mrs. Gooding's point was very valuable. The cash in lieu money
should be used similarly as a parkland trust for the area. Councillor Molnar suggested this
be recognized as an opportunity for future development along Quarterline Road. He
indicated he would support funds coming out of this resolution be dedicated back to this
area and it should be respected in that manner.
Councillor Smith agreed in theory, however he believed we have to get sidewalks along
Quarterline Road to the soccer fields and school. He was confident this could be left in
Council's hands and was concerned if we were too specific, it may set a precedence that
may become a problem down the road if funds are segregated that way. Mayor Horton
provided assurance that Council would deal with this issue.
Gerry Turner, 81 Glendale Drive, asked if the developer has to pay for the south side
sidewalks, when will developer extend the sidewalk and how far will the south one go. The
CAO clarified the intention was that when the Glendale work was done over the creek,
from the south side where it ends on the east side of the creek, it will be tied up right
across the creek and will be available for pedestrians and bicycles.
Resolution
> No. 6
Moved by Councillor Smith
Seconded Councillor Lewis AND RESOLVED THAT the Council of the Town of
Tillsonburg is in agreement to accept cash in lieu of the construction of a sidewalk on the
north side of Glendale Drive from Quarterline Road to the creek.

5. Re -cycling Complaint - Oxford Condominium Corp. #3 and #4 D
Councillor Smith stated it was his original understanding that recyclables were taken away
from this location, now they are not, vehicles will not drive onto the public property. Mayor
Horton stated trucks will go onto the property but they will not back up. They require a $3
million dollar assurity bond to do so.
Councillor Smith stated recycling is not working, he put out his own today which included 4
more bags. What the individual in the correspondence suggests is that it is getting to the
point that it is worth the dollar to bag recycling to get rid of it and this is not acceptable. A
great deal of time is being spent dealing with this issue.
Councillor Molnar stated that bi-weekly recycling is probably upping the amount of
garbage.
Councillor Beres asked whether Mrs. Crichton should be invited to speak as a delegation.
He suggested the Town contact or inform those with similar complaints in multi -units when
this issue will be heard by County Council so they can attend. Mayor Horton believed this
could be done. The CAO was instructed to do a search on service.

6. Hickory Hills Association - Memorandum of Understanding D
Presented By: CAO
Hickory Hills Residents Association - Memorandum of Understanding for approval and
endorsement.
Mr. L. Phillips, President of the Hickory Hills Residents Association was in attendance to
provide comment and answer any questions.
Page 9
MINUTES: Meeting for the Committee "Open Council"
/OMN Hickory Hills is an unusual situation, there are protective restrictions on lands in Hickory
Hills and responsibility of this is handled by the Association. It does require that the
approval of the Hickory Hills Residents Association is required for any changes, as well as
for those that require Town of Tillsonburg approvals. There have been conflicts in the
past that required the passing of By-law 3051.
Councillor Smith was not sure he could support the memorandum at this stage as there is
the potential of increased bureaucracy, and time it takes to accomplish things. It will slow
down processes. He did not see any definition in the memorandum of agreement that
states within due diligence of time. He requested Council receive a copy of Schedule B so
it can be reviewed.
Mr. Phillips indicated that Schedule B is not as specific as the by-law, which is part of the
problem. The lots are very small and there were supposed to be no additions. There has
been some looseness, they are trying to tighten up, and the Association is not always
receiving information. The memorandum is to acknowledge the Association and Town
checks with one another to ensure that the appropriate approvals are being obtained.
This is intended as a draft or start.
Councillor Smith stated he would prefer that rather than having a letter of understanding, it
would be prudent that Council give instruction to the Building Department to contact the
Association with any changes.

Erie Shores Wind Farm Newsletter... Newsletter.pdf
Mayor Horton indicated the company hopes to build a wind farm along the shore of Lake
Erie using the recreational / utility corridor to provide power to 60,000 to 80,000
households.
Councillor Smith stated this project was very exciting. Many years ago, the Town
purchased this utility corridor and are finally seeing the fruits of past procedures to have
the lines brought up through this land. The transmission lines will be coming up all the
way to Tillsonburg and the station will be situated in the area. We will be able to generate
some revenue from the corridor and perhaps we can get a reduction in the energy costs.
