Intent and Purpose In compliance.
of Official Plan:
Intent and Purpose The purpose of the deck encroachment provision in a residential zone is
of Zoning By -Law: to maintain adequate area for landscaped open space and amenity area,
as well as providing separation between dwellings for privacy.
Due to the shape of the lot, the northeast comer of the deck encroaches
the furthest into the rear yard, while the encroachment is progressively
smaller towards the southeast comer of the deck. The subject property
backs onto the Stoney Creek ravine which ensures there are no privacy
issues with residential properties to the east.
Extent of Variance: The variance is minor
Desirable Use or This neighbourhood is characterized by other single -detached homes,
Development: many of which have attached decks.
Recommendation: That the Tillsonburg Committee of Adjustment approve application
A-05/99 for 6 Forest Glen Court.

from 7.5 m (24.6 ft.) to 4.7 m (15.5 ft.);
(2) Relief from Section 7.2.1.1.8, Interior Side Yard, to reduce the interior
side yard from 1.2 m (3.9 ft.) to 0.46 m (1.5 ft.)
COMMENTS
Intent and Purpose In compliance.
of Official Plan:
Intent and Purpose The purpose of the front yard provision in a residential zone is
of Zoning By -Law: to maintain a similar setback for dwellings along the same side of the
street, to provide amenity area, and to provide area for separation
between vehicular traffic and the dwelling.
The purpose of the interior side yard provision is to provide separation
between the dwelling and the property line for maintenance of the
dwelling, access to the rear yard, drainage, and privacy.
The front yard of the subject dwelling is similar to the front yards of other 42
dwellings along the west side of the street. It is the opinion of this
Department the requested reduction in front yard would not jeopardize the
front yard provision of the R2 zone.

A 0.46 m (1.5 ft.) side yard is quite small to permit access to the rear yard
and area for maintenance and drainage. However, there is a 2 m (6.6 ft.)
side yard on the north side of the house which is open to provide access
to the rear yard. In addition, the removal of the garage would cause
considerable hardship to the applicants. Although the southern side yard
is quite small, it is the opinion of this Department that it can be
recognized by the Committee.
Extent of Variance: The variances are minor
Desirable Use or This neighbourhood is characterized by other single -detached homes
Development: which are located close to the street. The recognition of these
deficiencies would not be out or character with this area.
Recommendation: That the Tillsonburg Committee of Adjustment approve application

Dear Sirs/Madames:
RE: HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DAY 1999
The City of Woodstock will be conducting its Annual Household Hazardous Waste Day on June 5th,
1999.
Subject to 1999 supplier costs, the Engineering Department has estimated the cost per vehicle to be
approximately $30.00 plus or minus. This amount will be assessed to the municipality based on the
number of vehicles attending from that municipality. The aforementioned cost was determined by using
1998 removal and disposal costs only.
Costs for advertising are not included in the aforementioned estimate. It is proposed that each
participating municipality advertise in their local municipality and pay their own costs. The City will
advertise in the Sentinel -Review and the Oxford Shopping News at the City's expense.
If your municipality decides to participate, volunteers to work on the day of the event are welcomed.
The City will require a list of volunteers in advance of the event, as some training may be required
(approximately 2 hours).
On behalf of the City of Woodstock, I have been instructed to invite your municipality to participate in
the conducting of this Household Hazardous Waste Day. Please advise the writer by April 16th, 1999
should you wish to participate. If you have any questions, please contact the writer.

I appreciate your continued concern regarding this issue. For Council's

PIT BULL REGULATION
Mr Toby Barrett (Norfolk): I have a petition signed by the people in
Tillsonburg and area who are concerned about attacks by pit bulls.
"Whereas the Municipal Act, RSO 1990, does not allow municipalities to
regulate or prohibit a class or breed of dog, nor is there a specific
provision in the act pertaining to dogs that allows for the prohibition
or regulation of dogs by breed or class; and
"Whereas the pit bull is a breed of dog that has shown a propensity to
be vicious and attack, endangering both human life and that of other
animals in the town of Tillsonburg; and
"Whereas the town of Tillsonburg now deems it expedient to have specific
legislation permitting the town to regulate and prohibit a pit bull dog
in the town of Tillsonburg;
"We, the undersigned, support and seek the permissive authority for the
town of Tillsonburg to take proactive measures to regulate and restrict
the pit bull dog that will allow the town to address the significant
danger posed to the citizens of Tillsonburg prior to a vicious attack or
bite by a pit bull dog."
I sign this petition.

Thank you for informing me of the resolution passed by the Town
of Tillsonburg Council on December 14, 1998, regarding the
implementation of the secondary school reform initiative.
The government has made a commitment for the introduction of the
new four-year secondary school program for students entering
Grade 9 in September 1999. The Grades 9 and 10 curriculum
documents will be released in the spring of this year so schools
can prepare for students entering Grade 9 in September 1999. The
curriculum for Grades 11 and 12 will be released early in the
year 2000 to ensure that teachers are well prepared to implement
the new curriculum.
The ministry recognizes that implementation takes time and is
taking steps to assist in the implementation of the new secondary
school curriculum:
• The draft curriculum has been made available to all
publishers through the Canadian Publishers, Council so
that they can begin development of resources and
textbook material to support the September 1999
implementation.
• There will be a variety of opportunities for teacher
training before the new curriculum is implemented
beginning in early spring. This is being planned in
conjunction with ministry staff of the Operations and
Field Services Branch and staff from school boards.
• Course Profiles, which are sample courses of study,
will be developed for teachers, and by teachers for all
courses in Grade 9.
• Course Descriptions and Course Codes were circulated to
schools and school boards in early October.
b8 .. /2
- 2 -
• The student brochure "Stepping Up" was distributed to
school boards and Grade 8 students in December to
assist students and parents in course selection.
The ministry will implement the new program in a careful and
measured way, and ensure that students have timely information
with which to make decisions about their studies, and that
teachers have the information and resources they need.
Once again, thank you for bringing this matter to my attention.

I am very pleased to provide you with the names of the community volunteers who have been
appointed to the 16 Grant Review Teams that will make funding recommendations to the new
Ontario Trillium Foundation.
Last October, when the government announced the funding framework, including the 16 Grant
Review Teams, I wrote to municipalities, MPPs, and more than 2,000 key charitable and not -for -
profit organizations inviting recommendations for the Grant Review Teams. We had an
overwhelming response to our call and received more than 1000 outstanding nominations from
every part of Ontario.
Grant Review Teams will be an important feature of the allocation process. Since members are
appointed for one-, two-, or three-year terms, there will be ongoing opportunities to nominate
members for consideration. Applications of those not appointed to the Grant Review Teams will
be kept on file for future consideration.
As you know, the government established the Grant Review Team process to ensure that local
people make local decisions on local priorities. The new OntarioTrillium Foundation is
responsible for distributing a guaranteed $100 million annually in local and province -wide grants
to charitable and not -for -profit organizations in every part of Ontario. With eighty percent of the
funding allocated to local grants, the role of the 16 Grant Review Teams is critically important.
I am confident that the members of the Grant Review Teams will build on the Ontario Trillium

Social Housing `Say for Pay' Potentially at Risk
Issue:
Heads of Council will have received a letter dated rebruary 11, 1999, from the Ontario Non -Profit
Housing Association requesting support for the removal of federal unilaterals. AMO is concerned that
current lobbying on federal unilaterals may cause yet another delay in federal -provincial discussions.
Facts:
Municipalities have been paying for provincial social housing programs without direct accountability
or management authority since January 1,1998. It is critical that municipalities receive this authority
and that the programs are reformed. The absence of a federal -provincial agreement limits Ontario's
ability to implement social housing reform and is necessary before municipalities can receive
administrative and management authority.
The federal -provincial agreements with other provinces have included federal cooperative housing
programs and unilateral non-profit housing programs. The administrative transfer was accompanied
by federal dollars and other undertakings, including the ability to retain savings from portfolio
management and administration without reducing CMHC total funding.
AMO believes that any transfer of federal unilaterals in Ontario would have to be secured against
appropriate financial support. Further, AMO believes that the Province must flow through to
municipalities all of the federal dollars. AMO expects that the federal government is looking at how
the administration of the federal non-profit unilaterals could relate to the transfer of provincially
assigned programs to achieve efficiencies. However, unless the federal government shares program
information with municipalities and the Province, there is only speculation on the advantages and
disadvantages that might result from the devolution of the federal unilaterals. This is yet another
reason why the municipal sector must be part of the provincial negotiating team.

There is concem that should the federal unilaterals become a political liability for the federal
government, another significant delay in federal -provincial negotiations could result. The recent
decision by the federal government to exclude cooperative housing from any agreement in
Ontario may create pressure on CMHC to revisit this in the agreements with the other provinces.
There is speculation that 9 the federal govemment transfers the administration of unilaterals, it will
be divesting itself of any future role in housing. Signed federal -provincial agreements require
public recognition of CMHC's financial role. Yet reports indicate that not one level of govemment
can resolve the housing needs problem, and there is little capacity in the municipal property base
to do so. The federal and provincial reaction to the Report of the Mayor's Homelessness Action
Task Force "Taking Responsibility for Homelessness, An Action Plan for Toronto" is expected
when both levels of government meet with Mayor Lastman on March 25, 1999.
AMO Action:
AMO feels it is premature for municipalities to provide support to the Ontario Non -Profit
Association at this time, based on limited information. AMO is seeking information from the
federal government to clarify federal programs and to understand the ability to create
administration efficiencies. AMO is continuing its discussions around its involvement in this
federal -provincial process and agreement.

Important Extensions to Deadlines and School Board Payment Dates
issue: The Government has announced extensions to the March 31, 1999 deadline for establishing
upper- and single -tier rating by-laws and school board by-laws. The March 31 payment date to
school boards for education tax amounts has also been postponed,
Facts;
Following requests by AMO to the Ministries of Finance and Municipal Affairs and Housing, AMO was
advised by the Government today of the following changes to deadlines and payment dates:
> ?-he March 31" deadline for upper and single -tier municipalities to establish tax rates has been
postponed to an as -yet undetermined date.
the March 31" deadline for establishing school board by-laws has also been postponed.
>- The March 31" payment to school boards for education amounts has been deferred to an
unspecified future date.
The Government intends to announce the new deadlines and the revised school board payment date
before March 31", 1999. To date, no decision has been made on whether payments to school boards
will be made by the government on behalf of municipalities, or whether the payment to school boards will
simply be deferred.
Today's announcement follows weeks of extensive lobbying by AMO, and numerous requests from AMO
members, to have these impending deadlines extended. AMO president Michael Power raised these
issues in a February 22 meeting with Al Leach, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and in a subsequent
letter dated February 25, 1999 to Finance Minister Ernie Eves requesting an extension to the rating by-law
deadline.
Action: AMO continues to advocate that, until the Government releases revised figures for the 1998 Local
Services Realignment (LSR) costs, and estimates for 1999 LSR costs, municipalities cannot establish
operating or capital budgets for the current year, and therefore cannot set tax rates. HMO's original request
for an extension proposed that the rating by-law deadline allow at least 60 days from the time of the release
of the 1999 LSR estimates. Municipalities require the 1999 cost estimates to determine how much tax
revenue will be needed to deliver those programs and services that have been transferred by the Province
to the municipal sector.
AMO will also continue to demand that the Government add ress lost revenues associated with delays in billing
in 1999, and to address shortfalls in 1998 budgets from the fragmented implementation of the new
assessment and taxation system and additional shortfalls associated with the Local Services Realignment
transfers. AMO will also be seeking clarification on how school boards will receive education tax amounts,
recommending that the Province advance funds to school boards on behalf of municipalities on an interest -
free basis to avoid further delays.

Re: File 32T-97005; OP11-12; ZON.7-253
Hickory hills Developments Inc.
This will confirm the concerns I expressed at the public
meeting held on 22 February, 1999, to consider the proposed
Subdivision approval, Official Plan amendment and zoning by-
law amendment requested by Hickory Hills Developments Inc.
Part of the proposal consists of two blocks of land to be
used as parkland.
In the past, Hickory Hills residents have, most unfairly,
paid taxes on the parks in Hickory Hills by virtue of a
lease agreement with the Town entered into by the Developer
and subsequently off-loaded by him to the Hickory Hills
Residents' Association.
To the best of my knowledge, neither of the two blocks for
parkland in the current submission was included in the
original lease agreement. In my opinion, it would be an
egregious act if the Town were to attempt to include these
two new parks as part of the original lease or, by any
other means, to attempt to charge Hickory Hills residents
taxes on them. Other residents of Tillsonburg do not pay
taxes on parks.
This letter is written to ensure that I am on record in
expressing my concerns regarding this aspect of the proposal
and to request that I be kept informed of any and all
decisions made with respect to the two new parks.
Sincerely,
i

To Community OrganizationsTO
The County of Oxford, Department of Social Se ices and Housing youocal contact
site for the Ontario Works Program. The introduction of this program has meant that
recipients of social assistance under the Ontario Works Act are to participate in a plan
of increased activity to support their eligibility for benefits. Participants in the program
who meet specific criteria may opt to contribute service to their community at the same
time that they make efforts to find paid employment.
We are actively seeking placements in the community so participants can meet these
obligations. These placements make up what is known as the Community Participation
Component of the Ontario Works Program.
As a non-profit agency contributing to the growth of our community you are in a unique
position of providing opportunities that would allow individuals to make contributions
through their participation with your organization. Providing a placement opportunity
would allow your organization to have the benefit of a participants time and effort to
perform suitable, approved activities. Placements offer participants the opportunity to
develop self esteem, self confidence and job maintenance skills. Placements will also
provide participants with a recent work reference to add to their resume.
Although there is no minimum number of activity hours, the maximum number of hours
of activity is limited to seventy per month per participant. There is also a limit of six
months duration for each placement. This can be extended to a maximum of eleven
months upon request where significant training is occurring throughout the placement.
Enclosed please find the following information about the Ontario Works program in
Oxford and how it can benefit your organization. If you have any questions please
contact our office at (519) 539-0015 ext 359 (Woodstock) or (519) 688-9889
(Tillsonburg). I look forward to hearing from you and will be following up with your
organization within the near future

SELF INITIATED COMMUNITY
PLACEMENT
What is a self initiated community
placement?
Ontario Works participants may develop their
own Community Placement with an agency
that agrees to administer and supervise the
placement, and agrees to be a participating
organization for the purpose of Ontario Works.
What is the benefit of a self initiated
placement?
The benefit is two -fold. First, participants will
develop skills in searching out a suitable
placement and may, in fact, be more motivated
to succeed due to the "fit" of the position as it
will more likely match their interests, skills, and
abilities. Placement employers may find that
self initiated placements offer greater training
opportunities to a more motivated participant
and hence, greater flexibility in the role of the
volunteer.
Our agency, at this time cannot develop a
community participation project. Can we
provide an opportunity to someone who
would like to initiate their own placement?
YES! offering placement opportunities to
Ontario Works participants is strongly
encouragedl Please indicate your interest by
completing the application (on the back of this
pamphlet) and either forward it to our office OR
contact us by phone to request further
information about the Ontario Works program

COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
What Is Community Participation?
Community Participation is one component of
Ontario Works that encourages Community,
Public, and Volunteer organizations to sponsor
community placements that reflect local needs
and priorities. It is any unpaid community
service activity under the direction of
communities and/or public or non-profit
organizations. It can be sponsored by
communities and/or public or non-profit
organizations. It can include a self -initiated
placement proposed by a participant, if
approved by the agency and Ontario Works.
Who is required to participate?
Individuals receiving General Welfare
Assistance and who are employable may be
required to participate. Seniors, the disabled
or sole support parents are not required to
participate but may volunteer to do so.
What skills or work experience will
participants bring with them to a
placement?
Participayats come from a variety of skill
backgrWs including the following:
Office (clerical/computer), construction/trade,
childcare, hospitality/food service, and retail.
Who supervises the Community
Placement?
The organization sponsoring the community
project is required to provide supervision.
Ontario Works staff would regularly monitor,
and provide human resource support as
required.
J
What paperwork is required?
Paperwork is kept to a minimum. Ontario Works
staff are available to advise and provide
information as to completion of contracts,
attendance and evaluation reports, etc.
What is the maximum length a participant can
be involved with one employer in a community
placement?
The maximum length for a community placement
is six months, but this may be extended to eleven
months with any one employer based on the
development of a training plan involving the
acquisition of higher level of skills, is trades,
office, computer, etc.
Is there a maximum number of hours per
month required for participants on a
Community Placement?
Participants may be required to work up to a
maximum of seventy hours per month. This is
dependent on the dollar amount of General
Welfare assistance the individual is receiving.
How can 1 be sure that a participant will be
suitable for the placement?
An initial pre -placement screening is completed by
the Ontario Works staff. Candidates will be
referred based on a number of factors such as
skills, previous experience, and interests. It is
also strongly encouraged that placement
employers conduct an interview with the
prospective participant.
Will a community placement affect my
present full-time and/or part-time paid
employees?
An Ontario Works community placement must
not displace any paid employment position in
the participating organization (including an
associated or related organization) currently
or previously held by an employee within a
minimum of two years.
Are there other basic standard regulations
that would apply to community
participation?
All participating organizations must be in
compliance with applicable federal and
provincial occupational health and safety
legislation, WCB, Ontario Human Rights, and
any other relevant standards and/or
regulations.
Is my organization required to have WCB
and/or liability Insurance coverage for
community participation?
WCB coverage costs will be covered through
the Ministry of Community and Social
Services in situations where present
employees are required to be covered.
Where there is no requirement for WCB,
accident insurance, for participants will be
covered by the Ministry.
Placement Employers are required to
maintain their own liability insurance to cover
damage or loss as a result of a community
placement.
