ii) Minutes from Public Meeting of July 9, 2002
Mr. Bob Morrison, representing Brookside Subdivision appeared before Council and
Page 8
MINUTES: Meeting for the Committee "Open Council"
reviewed their proposal —not to extend Glendale Drive, but rather connect by way of a
pedestrian walkway; Allen Street would not be extended; and Belmont Avenue would
become a cul de sac.
Rev. Brndjar, 111 Allen Street, appeared in support of the proposal. He noted that the
traffic has increased and is very significant.
Mr. Brent Hosler, 77 Allen Street, appeared in support of the proposal. He also noted an
increase in vehicular traffic and is concerned that the opening up of Allen and/or Glendale
would increase the risk of accident.
Mr. John Moylan, 55 Glendale Drive, appeared in support of the proposal.
Rev. Jarvis, 69 Allen Street, appeared in support of the proposal.
Mr. John Lanthier, 64 Glendale Drive, appeared in support of the proposal, and does not
want to see any more traffic
Ms. Cathy Gooding, resident of Brookside Subdivision since June 2002, appeared in
opposition to the proposal. Ms. Gooding stated that she had been let to believe that there
would be a second access point into the subdivision. She is concerned with safety and
noted that safety concerns need to be considered. Ms. Gooding also submitted written
comments, as attached. (Item 9.i) Ms. Gooding also noted that she would like to receive
notification if street re -naming takes place.
Mr. S. Lund, Director of Operations, commented that there should at least be an
emergency access route.
Mr. D. Morris, CAO, suggested taking another look at the subdivision to try to address
safety concerns. He suggested that perhaps in phase 2 another street could be taken off
of Quartertownline, with an exact location to be reviewed with engineering staff. He noted
that it would have to be made clear to residents and the developer that the matter be
looked at further in a new perspective. He further noted that good planning principles
ensure that two access points be provided into a subdivision.
Councillor Smith expressed concerns with the situation. He noted that the plan of
subdivision has been on record since 1990, and the actual subdivision agreement goes
back to the late 1970's. The subdivision was designed for Glendale and Allen Street to go
through. He feels it is inappropriate to decide that these roads will not go through now,
however there is no firm decision as to what will happen. He noted that he could not
support not extending Glendale Drive and/or Allen Street without knowing what the rest of
the subdivision will look like. He also commented that he does not support cul de sacs,
as they cost more for snow removal and create problems for fire services. Council Smith
wanted to see a final plan before Council acted.
Ms. Gooding further commented that she had confirmed with Mr. Hill, of County Planning,
that in the late 1970's the plans did show Glendale going through.
Mr. Lanthier further commented that this is the time to make a decision, while Brookside
is still be developed and there are few residents presently there.
Councillor Molnar commented that he would need to a proposal as far as a second
entrance into the area.
Councillor Lewis commented that Council should be looking at an alternative plan for the
subdivision, which includes a second entrance, as Councillor Smith had pointed out.

, MINUTES: Meeting for the Committee "Open Council"
Resolution
RESOLVED THAT with respect to Brookside Subdivision, the subsisting Subdivision Plan
be amended, deleting requirements for Glendale Drive and Allen Street to be
constructed across Clear Creek, on condition that the subdivider bring forward an amended
subdivision application, including a second road access from Quarter Line Road, for Council
approval.

To: Chair and Members of the Tillsonburg Committee of Adjustment
From: Paul Michiels, Oxford County Community and Strategic Planning Office
Re: Planning Comments on Application for Minor Variance A-20102
Date: September 4th, 2002
BACKGROUND
Applicant:
Phillip & Deborah Kirby
Agent:
Bradley Bennett
Location:
32 Frances Street
Official Plan:
Low Density Residential
Zoning By-law:
Residential Second Density (R2)
Adjacent Uses:
Residential (south, east and west), Industrial (north)
Proposal: The applicant is proposing to recognize the location of an existing shed
constructed on the property.
Requested Relief: (1) Relief from Section 5.2.5, Interior Side Yard, to reduce the required
interior side yard from the required 1.2 m (3.94 ft) to 1.03 m (3.4 ft) to
recognize the location of an existing shed.
COMMENTS
Intent and Purpose In compliance.
of Official Plan:
Intent and Purpose The subject property is located in the `Residential Second Density (R2)'
of Zoning By -Law: Zone in the Town's Zoning By -Law 1994. The purpose of the interior side
yard provision in a Residential Zone is to provide area for drainage, fire
separation, access to the rear yard and maintenance of the structure.
The application indicates that the subject property is approximately 643.8
m2 (6,930.4 ft2) in area and contains a triplex dwelling constructed in
approximately 1900, a detached garage constructed in 1950 and a 67.5
m2 (727 ft2) shed constructed in 1991. According to the application, when
the shed was built (the hatched area of the accessory building on the
applicants sketch), it was attached to the existing garage and constructed
in line with the existing easterly wall of the garage, which is legal non-
conforming with respect to the easterly interior side yard setback. The
garage and shed now appear as one building. Therefore, the current
minor variance is required to legally recognize the deficiency in the
easterly side yard setback for the shed portion of the building.
P.O. Box 397, Court House, Woodstock, Ontario N4S 7Y3 • planning@county.oxford.on.ca
A-20/02
Page 2
The property is well under the maximum lot coverage requirement,
providing adequate room for drainage. The westerly interior side yard for
the accessory building is over 4.3 m (14 ft), which ensures there is
unobstructed access to the rear yard of the property from the alley (Coyle
Lane). With respect to maintenance, the existing 1.03 (3.4 ft) interior side
yard still provides some access around the shed for maintenance, without
encroaching on the neighbouring property. It is our understanding from
speaking with the Chief Building Official, that 1.2 m (3.9 ft) is the minimum
distance required to have any of the easterly wall of the building used for
window openings, based on the Ontario Building Code standards related
to fire separation. Therefore, we would recommend that the placement of
windows on the easterly wall of the shed be prohibited as a condition of
approval.
Extent of Variance: The variances are minor.
Desirable Use or Plate 1, Location Map, is an aerial photograph of the subject property
Development/Use: showing the location of the property in relation to the abutting properties,
existing zoning, and the location of buildings and structures. Plate 2,
Applicant's Sketch, includes a description of the property.
The requested interior side yard variance would serve to recognize the
location of an existing shed constructed on the property. The shed is an
extension of an existing detached garage constructed in the 1950's and is
in keeping with the character of other residential properties in the area. In
this case, there is sufficient access to the rear yard of the dwelling from
the alley (Coyle Lane) and the requested variance should not negatively
impact the function of the interior side yard with respect to maintenance,
drainage and fire separation, provided that window openings are
prohibited on the easterly wall of the shed.
It is, therefore, the opinion of this office that the proposed variance to
recognize the location of the existing shed is appropriate in this case and
can be supported.
Recommendation: That the Tillsonburg Committee of Adjustment approve application
A-20/02 for 32 Frances Street, subject to the following conditions:
1. That a building permit be issued for the shed within one year of the
date of the Committee's decision, if required;
2. That windows or other unprotected openings on the easterly wall of
the shed be prohibited.

AU O INDUSTRY RESOLUTION
Whereae: the auto industry is Canada's most important export industry; and
Whereon: every job with a major auto assembler generates a total of 7.5 jobs in the regional
and national economy; and o.
Whereas: the auto industry is experiencing a major downturn which could see assembly and
employment decline y as much asmone-third; and
Whereas: Canada was the fourth -largest auto producer in the world in 1999, but our rank is
falling rapidly and soon we may no longer even rank: among the top ten; and.
Whereas: active government policy has always been important in attracting auto investment
and jobs to Canada; and
Whereas: Canada no longer has an auto policy due to the WTO's abolition of the Auto Pact;
Be it Resolved That: this Tillsonburg Town Council, supports the development of an active auto
strategy -for Canada, including policies to attract future auto investment
and improve our automotive trade imbalances, and calls on the federal and
provincial governments to initiate a process of consultation among
industry stakeholders to design and implement such a policy.

Dear Sir,
Aug 18, 2002
I wrote the Tillsonburg News a few weeks ago expressing concerns about
the current watering regulations in Tillsonburg and Oxford County. I
gather my letter was missed by the Town Council and the Town Staff,
because we are going back to basically the same regulations the week
of August 19ei .
The current regulations only encourage residents to abuse our water
resources. As things stand now a resident can water manually for six
hours a day, three days a week, for a total of 18 hours. For those
with automatic sprinklers, current regulations allow them to water
three hours a day, three times a creek, for a total of nine hours.
Experts will tell you that lawns only need to be watered once or
twice a week for an hour or so each time, even in Southern Ontario.
This begs the question of why the Town and the County still allow
residents to water either nine hours or eighteen hours a week? There is
obviously a water shortage in this area so why continue with these
outdated water regulations and then be forced to ban watering in the
area by mid -July.
It would make much more sense to review the watering regulations and
allow residents to water for just "one hour" per day, three times a
week either morning or evening, not both.
There also needs to be a much tougher approach taken to enforcing the
watering regulations. We see neighbors ignoring the regulations
repeatedly, yet when they are reported they just get a warning.
InVi
the Town Council and Oxford County will undertake a serious
rofthe current watering regulations before next season.

MEMO TO COUNCIL
Date: Sept. 6, 2002
To: Members of Council
From: Doug Robertson,
Chief Building Official
Subject: Aspen Developments request for variance to sign by-law #2976
The following are the reasons a variance is required:
The sign requested is located on town property, sec.5.9. This request has already been
before council once and was not approved because of it being on town property, the
sidewalk. It was at that time called a sandwich board.
This dept. has received complaints regarding this particular sign.
Real estate signs are exempt from requiring a permit. This is for the ones located in front
of the property for sale as long as they are on private property. On occasion an open
house sign will appear on a corner for a day or two and is located within a road allowance
but not on a sidewalk.
This sign has been put out every weekend even though the previous request was not
approved.
It is recommended that the request from Aspen Developments for variance to Sign Bylaw
2976 not be approved.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Yours truly,
Doug Robertson

REPORT

DATE: July 12, 2002
TO: David C. Morris, CAO/Clerk
NO: 020712 councillors allowance
FROM: Lynn S. Buchner, CGA, AMCT, Director of Corporate Services
RE: Councillors' 1 /3 Allowance
PURPOSE
To provide information to Council concerning the continuation of the 1 /3 tax-free allowance
presently available to members of Council.
BACKGROUND
Under the provisions of the Municipal Act, 2001, an important change has taken place with
respect to the provisions found in the current Act regarding Council remuneration. The
following subsections are excerpts from the Municipal Act, 2001:
283(4) No part of the remuneration of a member of a council or local board paid under this
section is deemed to be for expenses incidental to his or her duties as a member and a
municipality or local board shall not provide that any part of the remuneration is for
such deemed expenses.
283(5) Despite subsection (4), if a resolution of a municipality under subsection 255(2) of the
old Act is not revoked before January 1, 2003, the resolution shall be deemed to be a
by-law of the municipality and one-third of the remuneration paid to the elected
members of the council and its local boards is deemed as expenses incident to the
discharge of their duties as members of the council or local board.
Staff Report - 2 -
July 12, 2002
020712 councillors allowance
283(6) A council may repeal a by-law under subsection (5) and the repealing by-law shall be
effective on January 1 of the year after the year in which it is passed.
283(7) A council shall review a by-law under subsection (5) at a public meeting at least once
during the three-year period corresponding to the term of office of its members after
a regular election.
478(10) (amending Section 255 of the current Municipal Act) Subsection 255(1) ceases to
apply to elected members of the council of a municipality or its local boards on
January 1, 2003 unless the municipality passes a resolution before January 1, 2003
stating its intention that one-third of the remuneration paid to the elected members of
the council and its local boards shall continue as expenses incident to the discharge
of their duties as members of the council or local board.
The Town's present Wage and Salary By-law does not reference Section 255 of the
current Act, nor does it appear Council has ever enacted a by-law or resolution under this
section. Should Council wish to continue to receive the 1 /3 tax-free allowance, it will be
necessary to enact a resolution under Section 255 of the current Act. By virtue of
passing this resolution, Section 283(5) of the new Act will come into force on January 1,
2003, and Council will have been determined to have passed a by-law deeming one-third
of the remuneration paid to Council to be for expenses incident to the discharge of their
duties as members of the Council.
RECOMMENDATION
For Council to consider the following resolution:
"WHEREAS Section 255 of the Municipal Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.M.45 permits Councils
of municipalities pass a resolution deeming that one third of the remuneration paid to
the elected members of the council and its local boards shall be for expenses incident to
the discharge of their duties as members of the council or local board;
AND WHEREAS Section 283 of the Municipal Act, 2001, states that Section 255 of the

unless the municipality passes a resolution before January 1, 2003, stating its intention

Att; David C. Morris
Chief Administrative Officer/Clerk
Concerning the purpose of By -Law Number 3032 for the construction
of a Grocery Store. We Randy and Jackie French owners of Putters Driving
Range & Mini Golf, have concerns on Stray Golf Balls.
The Driving Range has been there for 41 years, in which we have had
for 4 years now.
We think the towns Families have much enjoyed Putters since Randy
and I fixed it up and made it suitable for them to come out for affordable
fun. Also the Big Brothers and Sisters of the surrounding area have much
appreciated Putters for its support in holding the Million Dollar Swing the
past 2 years, helping them raise over $ 20,000. The schools in the area and
the Community Centres Summer Camp Kids also put Putters on there
activity list for places to go for fun.
In July's Council meeting I brought this matter of Stray Golf Ball up
and John the Lawyer of Rock Development said they would contact us on
the matter. One week after the meeting Randy contacted Rocko from Rock
Development, he was not very friendly at all and said they would not put up
a fence and we should contact our Insurance Company to find out what kind
of Liability Insurance we have. After the August meeting John stopped out
to the Driving Range for a minute but again nothing was resolved.
Randy and I feel this has to be resolved before construction starts. The
people that are golfing will make targets out of the construction workers.
They shoot balls at us while were out in the fields looking for stray golf
balls.
We do not want to see anyone get hurt. This will only lead to Law
Suites against both parties.

LONG POINT REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY RECEIVED
FULL AUTHORITY - MINUTES .,.-� nn,�
July 3, 2002
The Full Authority met at 7:30 pm in the Boardroom with all members present except C. Evanitski.
Staff present included J. Oliver, B. Baskerville, J. Robertson, D. Holmes and L. DeCiccio.
In the absence of Chairman Evanitski, Vice-chairman Craig Ashbaugh assumed the chair and
called the meeting to order at 7:30pm. Mr. Ashbaugh apologized for his absence over the past
few meetings. He introduced new member Brenda Moerschfelder and welcomed her to the
Authority. He referred to her experience as a councillor and spoke highly of her competence. Ms.
Robertson was called upon to introduce Linda DeCiccio, Connecting Kids with Conservation
fundraising campaign coordinator, who would make a presentation later in the meeting.
The chair called for any additional items of business. Correspondence from Bob Speller was
added. P. Black requested discussion on Sutton Dam and asked to have the Authority's
tendering policy reviewed during the in -camera session. R. Orth asked to discuss Norwich dam
under new business. D. Wynia asked to report on a recent meeting he attended of the Ontario
Forestry Association. Mr. Oliver asked that Mr. Baskervilie report on low water conditions. No
disclosures of interest were made.
Minutes of Previous Meeting:
MOTION A-43 - moved by R. Orth, seconded by B. Moerschfelder and carried that the minutes
of the previous meeting of the Full Authority held June 5, 2002 be adopted as circulated.
Mr. Chanda inquired as to the Hay Creek CA agreement. D. Holmes responded that the
agreement with Norfolk County has been signed and that Community Services staff have started
to use the facilities.
Business Arising:
Mr. Holmes reported on the public open houses held in June as part of the forest management
procedures, and on other opportunities for public and Board input. He referred members to the
tree -marking and post -cut audit reports, and was asked to explain the statistics. A. Arthur raised
several questions and was encouraged to meet with staff to address his concerns regarding
content accuracy and the significance of the overall percentage ratings in the audits. The Field
Superintendent suggested the Authority consider using a random audit of one marking and one
cutting operation as opposed to auditing all properties. This would save several thousand dollars
annually. He was asked to prepare a report for a future meeting.
Mr. Oliver reported on the follow-up information from Conservation Ontario on the release of the
Walkerton Part 2 Report. The information is not in a form that conservation authorities can use
locally to inform others about the Walkerton Report recommendations on the role for conservation
authorities. He reviewed the several recommendations that call for water source protection plans
to be done in every watershed, to be coordinated by the local conservation authority. Mr. Orth
indicated he was not satisfied with details on how these new programs and plans will be paid for.

Mr "Chanda expressed concern that livestock farmers seem to be targeted and requirements will
be expensive for them to meet. The General Manager advised the members that this authority
and others will have the opportunity to take a leadership role in protecting water supplies, and we
have a good start on assembling the needed information with the recent Big Creek Water Budget
study and current groundwater studies with Norfolk County and other municipalities. Mr. Orth and
Mr. Chanda asked that a motion be prepared to ask the senior governments to assist farmers with
compliance with the new standards for water protection.
Ms. Robertson reported on the three public open houses held to provide us with feedback on the
draft strategies document. Very few members of the public attended. Members were encouraged
to submit their comments by the July 12' deadline. The subcommittee will be reviewing
comments received at its July 25" meeting. A final draft document will be presented for approval
later this fall. The Vice-chairman thanked staff for their efforts in organizing the public open
houses.
Correspondence:
MOTION A-44 - moved by R. Orth, seconded by B. Moerschfelder and carried that the following
items of correspondence be received as information:
a) Minister of Natural Resources re. provincial water policy
b) MNR re. St. Williams nursery operation
c) G. Knutson, MP re. CO Healthy Great Lakes proposal
d) B. Speller, MP re. Healthy Great Lakes proposal
Mr. Wynia reported that a recent meeting of the Ontario Forestry Association determined that the
OFA will attempt to develop coordinated seedling production and distribution plans among user
groups and producers for southern Ontario. Mr. Oliver noted that Mr. Speller has been identified
as an influential MP who supports the Conservation Ontario initiative for the Healthy Great Lakes
proposal submitted to Environment Canada.
Fill, Construction and Alteration Approvals:
Mr. Baskerville reviewed recent permits granted across the watershed. Mr. Orth asked if the
permit granted to Cairns was our former member, Ramsay Cairns, and Mr. Baskerville confirmed
it was.
New Business:
Mr. Oliver reported that the Authority is partnering with the Simcoe Fish & Game Club to assess
the water quality and fisheries of the Lynn River and its tributaries. Benthic sampling and water
monitoring will be undertaken during 2002 and 2003. The project will generate good baseline
data, and has been funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, as well as by the club, MNR and
Norfolk Stewardship Council. The LPRCA is working on the project steering committee with
representatives from the stewardship council, MNR, Long Point Foundation, the fish and game
club and Norfolk County. Mr. Black expressed an interest in attending steering committee
meetings, if possible.

Mr.'6Baskerville commented on the staff report dated June 26 regarding our agreement with
Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and requested that the Authority move into a Level 2 agreement
with DFO. He commented on the new responsibilities to be undertaken by staff. Moving to Level
2 would streamline the review process and make it more efficient for watershed landowners. He
was asked to report back to the board after a 6-month trial period. Mr. Baskerville reported our
working relationship with Aylmer MNR fisheries personnel remains good, in response to a
question from Mr. Arthur.
MOTION A-45 - moved by F. Sanderson, seconded by P. Black and carried that the Authority
request the opportunity to move to a Level 2 agreement with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, to
include assessment and recommended mitigation for harmful alteration or destruction of fish
habitat under Section 35 of the federal Fisheries Act.
Ms. Robertson made a brief statement about the Connecting Kids With Conservation campaign
and introduced the Campaign Coordinator. Linda DeCiccio distributed a year one summary report
and highlighted some aspects of the overall campaign. The first year has been very successful;
the $25,000 target has been exceeded. She noted that a next step is to revise the education
program brochure to raise awareness about the programs at Backus and to encourage new
business. The Vice-chairman thanked Linda for her presentation. It was noted the Grand Erie
School Board has approved a 50-50 funded agreement with the Authority for the 2002-2003
school year, as a result of our successful campaign.
Mr. Holmes reported on the tendering of monitoring well construction on behalf of Paul Gagnon.
Two tenders were received for construction of four wells. Final specifications and cost for each
well will only be known once drilling begins. The cost is covered by MOE under the provincial
groundwater program.
MOTION A-46 - moved by S. Lamb, seconded by L. Chanda and carried that the tender submitted
by Big Creek Well Drilling for the construction of 4 wells under the Provincial Groundwater
Monitoring Program at a total price of up to $13,623 plus required materials plus GST be
approved, subject to final casing size specification by MOE.
P. Black questioned whether communication is being maintained between Norfolk County and the
Authority regarding the Sutton Dam and Argyle Street bridge projects. Mr. Holmes advised that
a tender is now out for the Sutton dam project, and he has spoken with County staff about timing.
Mr. Black has talked with the Superintendent about complaints from residents near Sutton Dam
regarding odors from algae, and brought it to the Board's attention for discussion.
Mr. Orth asked about plans to stock the Norwich reservoir, in light of last year's fish kill during the
drought and an upcoming fish derby. Mr. Oliver reported that the OFAH plan to stock pan fish
is currently on hold and could be undertaken later this Fall or next Spring. In conjunction with the
stocking, the resident fish population should be assessed.
Mr. Baskerville had circulated copies of graphs showing current flow conditions in Big Creek and
Big Otter Creek. As in the past year, staff are monitoring water levels in both watercourses.
Current conditions are above Level 1, with the Big Otter approaching Level 1 low water
conditions. Staff are monitoring conditions and are prepared to reactivate the Water Response

Teams when necessary. WRT members have been contacted about current water level
conditions and have been made aware of the possibility of initiating a start-up meeting within the
next two weeks.
Mr. Oliver had drafted a motion for the Board to consider on direction from Mr. Orth and Mr.
Chanda regarding the Walkerton Report. Mr. Orth asked that the motion and correspondence be
copied to member municipalities and brought before Conservation Ontario.
MOTION A-47 - moved by L. Chanda, seconded by R. Orth and carried that the Authority
encourage both the federal and provincial governments to ensure that financial assistance
programs are available to farmers to implement on -farm requirements identified in water source
protection plans as proposed in the Walkerton Part 2 Report, and further that Conservation
Ontario be requested to support this proposal.
MOTION A-48 - moved by B. Moerschfelder, seconded by R. Orth and carried that the Board
enter an "in camera" session.
MOTION A-49 - moved by D. Wynia, seconded by S. Lamb and carried that the "in camera"
session be adjourned.
Mr. Black questioned the tendering policy criterion that allows favouring watershed
contractors/suppliers if they are within 5% of the lowest bid. Mr. Oliver was asked to investigate
the legality of this criterion, and to check with other conservation authorities and municipalities.
Mr. Oliver and Mr. Black reported on a recent meeting looking at possible provincial acquisition
of an abandoned railway corridor. The line is partially within Norfolk and LPRCA and is adjacent
to wetland areas. Mr. Chanda stressed that potential water source protection benefits of public
acquisition of the designated wetland be noted in any correspondence with the Province.
MOTION A-50 - moved by P. Black, seconded by A. Arthur and carried that the Authority support
a request for the Province to acquire the TH&B railway corridor property between Waterford and
Brantford for the following reasons:
- protection of the lands for various alternative, future public uses and purposes
- improved access to and buffering for the Pow Wetland CA property
- protection of designated wetland and hazard land within the Norfolk County portion of
the corridor property.
It was agreed that the regular meeting of the board on August 7 should take place, but the
September meeting could be cancelled following the watershed tour on August 28.
The meeting adjourned at 9:40pm.

Dear Heads of Council,
August 8, 2002
The Ministry of Natural Resources will begin aerially baiting regions of southwestern, southcentral, and
northern Ontario on September 17, 2002 to vaccinate foxes against rabies. Approximately 800,000 baits
will be dropped from three low -flying Twin Otter aircraft. The airplanes are bright yellow and fly at an
altitude of 150m above ground. Baiting operations will continue until the areas indicated on the attached
map are baited. This will take approximately two weeks.
Baiting will begin from the Stratford Airport in southwestern Ontario and should be completed within one
week. Southcentral Ontario will be baited from the Peterborough Airport in a single day. Operations will
then relocate to the Sudbury Airport to complete the remainder of the baiting in northern Ontario.
If one or more cases of fox rabies are confirmed outside of the area indicated on the map, the intended
baiting area may be adjusted to incorporate the new case(s). The area to be baited is determined by
surrounding the known cases with an approximately 50 km buffer.
The baits (measuring 3.5cm x 3.5cm x1.0cm) are khaki -green cubes made of a waxy tallow substance. The
baits are labelled with a warning "DO NOT EAT". A toll -free rabies hotline number, 1-888-574-6656, also
appears on the label.
The vaccine is a live -virus vaccine which is not normally considered dangerous for healthy humans.
People should avoid touching the vaccine and vaccine package. Anyone who comes into direct contact
with the vaccine should contact their physician as a precaution.
For further information on Ontario's rabies prevention and control operations, contact Beverly Stevenson at
705-755-2272 or visit the Rabies in Ontario website at: www.mnr.eov.on.ca/MNR/rabies.

Attention: David C. Morris, CAO/Clerk
Dcar Mr. Morris:
Re: Ontario Municipal Board Appeal — Zoning By-law Amendment No. 3032
In response to the notice of passing dated August 13, 2002 regarding the Council of the
Town of Tillsonburg passing By-law No. 3032 on August 12, 2002,1 am submitting an
appeal on behalf of the Tillsonburg Business Improvement Association Board of
Management.
By-law No. 3032 rezones lands described as Part Lot 7, Concession 10 being Part 1, Plan
41 R-857, in the Town of Tillsonburg from Development (D) to Special Highway
Commercial (C2-25) and Special Development (D-7). The purpose of the zone change is
to create a highway commercial building lot for the construction of a 3,716 sq.m. (40,000
sq.ft.) grocery store, a restaurant and future highway commercial development.
The Tillsonburg BIA Board of Management's reinforces the mandate quoted from the
Town's Strategic Plan that states "That Tillsonburg aims to maintain and promote the
downtown as the hub or heartbeat of the town rich in commercial diversity and amenities
which bolster its role as the focal point of the community. " Therefore, the Board objects
to the by-law as this development contravenes the economic viability of the downtown
core. It is inconsistent with the current focus on the south end development and
revitalization of the downtown core and is not in keeping with the strategic plan. To go
ahead with this would have a significant detrimental affect on the downtown core.

NOTICE OF APPEAL UNDER SECTION 34(19) OF THE
PLANNING ACT, R.S.O.1990, c.P.13, AS AMENDED
TO: THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF TILLSONBURG
FROM: GYULVESZI PROPERTIES INC.
RE: By-law No. 3032, a by-law to amend zoning by-law number 1994, as amended
(the "By-law"); ZON 7-288
The undersigned hereby gives written notice of an appeal to the By-law to the Ontario Municipal
Board. The undersigned objects to the By-law for the following reasons:
1. the proposal contravenes the economic viability of the downtown core of the Town of
Tillsonburg, and will have a significant detrimental effect on the downtown core;
2. the proposal does not effectively make use of vacant and under-utilized commercial land
in the Town of Tillsonburg;
3. the proposal is not in keeping with the Town of Tillsonburg Land Use Policies as set out
in the Oxford County Official Plan;
4. the proposal is inconsistent with the statement of goals in section 8.1.1 (Municipal
Planning Strategy) of the Oxford County Official Plan that "Tillsonburg aims to maintain
and promote the downtown as the hub or heartbeat of the town, rich in commercial
diversity and amenities which bolster its role as the focal point of the community"(at
page 8-2);
5. the proposal conflicts with section 8.3.3.1.2 (Central Area Strategy) of the Oxford County
Official Plan which states that the retail function of the Central Area is "to maintain the
commercial core of the Central Area as the highest order retail shopping district capable
of meeting the day to day and specialty needs of the residents of the Town of Tillsonburg
and surround areas" (at page 8-41) and further, conflicts with the strategic initiative to
"maintain the current commercial core district to facilitate development in a concentrated
or defined area, while providing the opportunity for new retail commercial development,
including expansion of the downtown shopping centre" (at page 8-42);
6. the proposal is premature in terms of servicing;
7. the proposal negatively impacts the traffic flow of the area;
8. that insufficient planning studies have been completed in order to determine the overall
impact of this proposal on the downtown core in terms of viability of the downtown core,
servicing and resource issues.
For the foregoing reasons, the undersigned hereby respectfully submits this Notice of Appeal to
the Ontario Municipal Board.
Dated at Tillsonburg, Ontario this 30'h day of August, 2002.

LONG POINT REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY DECEIVED
ORITY - MINU'
July 3, 2002
The Full Authority met at 7:30 pm in the Boardroom with all members present except C. Evanitski.
Staff present included J. Oliver, B. Baskerville, J. Robertson, D. Holmes and L. DeCiccio.
In the absence of Chairman Evanitski, Vice-chairman Craig Ashbaugh assumed the chair and
called the meeting to order at 7:30pm. Mr. Ashbaugh apologized for his absence over the past
few meetings. He introduced new member Brenda Moerschfelder and welcomed her to the
Authority. He referred to her experience as a councillor and spoke highly of her competence. Ms.
Robertson was called upon to introduce Linda DeCiccio, Connecting Kids with Conservation
fundraising campaign coordinator, who would make a presentation later in the meeting.
The chair called for any additional items of business. Correspondence from Bob Speller was
added. P. Black requested discussion on Sutton Dam and asked to have the Authority's
tendering policy reviewed during the in -camera session. R. Orth asked to discuss Norwich dam
under new business. D. Wynia asked to report on a recent meeting he attended of the Ontario
Forestry Association. Mr. Oliver asked that Mr. Baskerville report on low water conditions. No
disclosures of interest were made.
Minutes of Previous Meeting:
MOTION A-43 - moved by R. Orth, seconded by B. Moerschfelder and carried that the minutes
of the previous meeting of the Full Authority held June 5, 2002 be adopted as circulated.
Mr. Chanda inquired as to the Hay Creek CA agreement. D. Holmes responded that the
agreement with Norfolk County has been signed and that Community Services staff have started
to use the facilities.
Business Arising:
Mr. Holmes reported on the public open houses held in June as part of the forest management
procedures, and on other opportunities for public and Board input. He referred members to the
tree -marking and post -cut audit reports, and was asked to explain the statistics. A. Arthur raised
several questions and was encouraged to meet with staff to address his concerns regarding
content accuracy and the significance of the overall percentage ratings in the audits. The Field
Superintendent suggested the Authority consider using a random audit of one marking and one
cutting operation as opposed to auditing all properties. This would save several thousand dollars
annually. He was asked to prepare a report for a future meeting.
Mr. Oliver reported on the follow-up information from Conservation Ontario on the release of the
Walkerton Part 2 Report. The information is not in a form that conservation authorities can use
locally to inform others about the Walkerton Report recommendations on the role for conservation
authorities. He reviewed the several recommendations that call for water source protection plans
to be done in every watershed, to be coordinated by the local conservation authority. Mr. Orth
indicated he was not satisfied with details on how these new programs and plans will be paid for.

July 3, 2002
Mr. Chanda expressed concern that livestock farmers seem to be targeted and requirements will
be expensive for them to meet. The General Manager advised the members that this authority
and others will have the opportunity to take a leadership role in protecting water supplies, and we
have a good start on assembling the needed information with the recent Big Creek Water Budget
study and current groundwater studies with Norfolk County and other municipalities. Mr. Orth and
Mr. Chanda asked that a motion be prepared to ask the senior governments to assist farmers with
compliance with the new standards for water protection.
Ms. Robertson reported on the three public open houses held to provide us with feedback on the
draft strategies document. Very few members of the public attended. Members were encouraged
to submit their comments by the July 12th deadline. The subcommittee will be reviewing
comments received at its July 25' meeting. A final draft document will be presented for approval
later this fall. The Vice-chairman thanked staff for their efforts in organizing the public open
houses.
Correspondence:
MOTION A-44 - moved by R. Orth, seconded by B. Moerschfelder and carried that the following
items of correspondence be received as information:
a) Minister of Natural Resources re. provincial water policy
b) MNR re. St. Williams nursery operation
c) G. Knutson, MP re. CO Healthy Great Lakes proposal
d) B. Speller, MP re. Healthy Great Lakes proposal
Mr. Wynia reported that a recent meeting of the Ontario Forestry Association determined that the
OFA will attempt to develop coordinated seedling production and distribution plans among user
groups and producers for southern Ontario. Mr. Oliver noted that Mr. Speller has been identified
as an influential MP who supports the Conservation Ontario initiative for the Healthy Great Lakes
proposal submitted to Environment Canada.
Fill, Construction and Alteration Approvals:
Mr. Baskerville reviewed recent permits granted across the watershed. Mr. Orth asked if the
permit granted to Cairns was our former member, Ramsay Cairns, and Mr. Baskerville confirmed
it was.
New Business:
Mr. Oliver reported that the Authority is partnering with the Simcoe Fish & Game Club to assess
the water quality and fisheries of the Lynn River and its tributaries. Benthic sampling and water
monitoring will be undertaken during 2002 and 2003. The project will generate good baseline
data, and has been funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, as well as by the club, MNR and
Norfolk Stewardship Council. The LPRCA is working on the project steering committee with
representatives from the stewardship council, MNR, Long Point Foundation, the fish and game
club and Norfolk County. Mr. Black expressed an interest in attending steering committee
meetings, if possible.

Mr. Baskerville commented on the staff report dated June 26 regarding our agreement with
Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and requested that the Authority move into a Level 2 agreement
with DFO. He commented on the new responsibilities to be undertaken by staff. Moving to Level
2 would streamline the review process and make it more efficient for watershed landowners. He
was asked to report back to the board after a 6-month trial period. Mr. Baskerville reported our
working relationship with Aylmer MNR fisheries personnel remains good, in response to a
question from Mr. Arthur.
MOTION A-45 - moved by F. Sanderson, seconded by P. Black and carried that the Authority
request the opportunity to move to a Level 2 agreement with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, to
include assessment and recommended mitigation for harmful alteration or destruction of fish
habitat under Section 35 of the federal Fisheries Act.
Ms. Robertson made a brief statement about the Connecting Kids With Conservation campaign
and introduced the Campaign Coordinator. Linda DeCiccio distributed a year one summary report
and highlighted some aspects of the overall campaign. The first year has been very successful;
the $25,000 target has been exceeded. She noted that a next step is to revise the education
program brochure to raise awareness about the programs at Backus and to encourage new
business. The Vice-chairman thanked Linda for her presentation. It was noted the Grand Erie
School Board has approved a 50-50 funded agreement with the Authority for the 2002-2003
school year, as a result of our successful campaign.
Mr. Holmes reported on the tendering of monitoring well construction on behalf of Paul Gagnon.
Two tenders were received for construction of four wells. Final specifications and cost for each
well will only be known once drilling begins. The cost is covered by MOE under the provincial
groundwater program.
MOTION A-46 - moved by S. Lamb, seconded by L. Chanda and carried that the tender submitted
by Big Creek Well Drilling for the construction of 4 wells under the Provincial Groundwater
Monitoring Program at a total price of up to $13,623 plus required materials plus GST be
approved, subject to final casing size specification by MOE.
P. Black questioned whether communication is being maintained between Norfolk County and the
Authority regarding the Sutton Dam and Argyle Street bridge projects. Mr. Holmes advised that
a tender is now out for the Sutton dam project, and he has spoken with County staff about timing.
Mr. Black has talked with the Superintendent about complaints from residents near Sutton Dam
regarding odors from algae, and brought it to the Board's attention for discussion.
Mr. Orth asked about plans to stock the Norwich reservoir, in light of last year's fish kill during the
drought and an upcoming fish derby. Mr. Oliver reported that the OFAH plan to stock pan fish
is currently on hold and could be undertaken later this Fall or next Spring. In conjunction with the
stocking, the resident fish population should be assessed.
Mr. Baskerville had circulated copies of graphs showing current flow conditions in Big Creek and
Big Otter Creek. As in the past year, staff are monitoring water levels in both watercourses.
Current conditions are above Level 1, with the Big Otter approaching Level 1 low water
conditions. Staff are monitoring conditions and are prepared to reactivate the Water Response

Teams when necessary. WRT members have been contacted about current water level
conditions and have been made aware of the possibility of initiating a start-up meeting within the
next two weeks.
Mr. Oliver had drafted a motion for the Board to consider on direction from Mr. Orth and Mr.
Chanda regarding the Walkerton Report. Mr. Orth asked that the motion and correspondence be
copied to member municipalities and brought before Conservation Ontario.
MOTION A-47 - moved by L. Chanda, seconded by R. Orth and carried that the Authority
encourage both the federal and provincial governments to ensure that financial assistance
programs are available to farmers to implement on -farm requirements identified in water source
protection plans as proposed in the Walkerton Part 2 Report, and further that Conservation
Ontario be requested to support this proposal.
MOTION A-48 - moved by B. Moerschfelder, seconded by R. Orth and carried that the Board
enter an "in camera" session.
MOTION A-49 - moved by D. Wynia, seconded by S. Lamb and carried that the "in camera"
session be adjourned.
Mr. Black questioned the tendering policy criterion that allows favouring watershed
contractors/suppliers if they are within 5% of the lowest bid. Mr. Oliver was asked to investigate
the legality of this criterion, and to check with other conservation authorities and municipalities.
Mr. Oliver and Mr. Black reported on a recent meeting looking at possible provincial acquisition
of an abandoned railway corridor. The line is partially within Norfolk and LPRCA and is adjacent
to wetland areas. Mr. Chanda stressed that potential water source protection benefits of public
acquisition of the designated wetland be noted in any correspondence with the Province.
MOTION A-50 - moved by P. Black, seconded by A. Arthur and carried that the Authority support
a request for the Province to acquire the TH&B railway corridor property between Waterford and
Brantford for the following reasons:
- protection of the lands for various alternative, future public uses and purposes
- improved access to and buffering for the Pow Wetland CA property
- protection of designated wetland and hazard land within the Norfolk County portion of
the corridor property.
It was agreed that the regular meeting of the board on August 7 should take place, but the
September meeting could be cancelled following the watershed tour on August 28.
The meeting adjourned at 9:40pm.
