Chamber of Commerce, addressed Town Council and expressed levels of
police service, delivery of service, and quality of service for policing in
the Town of Tillsonburg.
Mr. Walter Burton, Chair of the Tillsonburg Police Services Board,
addressed Town Council and stated that, based on the costing, level of
service, and quality of service, a integrated police force between
Tillsonburg and the Ontario Provincial Police has merit and is preferred,
as the Tillsonburg Police Services Board believes that the status quo of
policing in the Town of Tillsonburg cannot be maintained in the future and
that there are re -organizational questions that must be addressed by Town
Council with respect to its future policing needs.
Mr. Charlie Williamson, Analyst, O.P.P., addressed Town Council and
answered several questions posed by the participants at the meeting. He
stated that the level of policing service would be the same in both an
O.P.P. and a Tillsonburg organization, and that there would be similar
response times, level of service, uniformed police officers, specialized
units, with less organizational hierarchy. He further stated that there
would be local control in Tillsonburg, through a Tillsonburg Police
Services Board.
Acting Chief Coles of the Tillsonburg Police Services addressed Town
Council and restated for Town Council the resolution by them that stated it
would be a fair and open process of costing and function between the
integrated police force with the O.P.P. and a Tillsonburg Police Services
Board. He further stated that, in his opinion, the process so far for
1
qk
investigating an alternative to the Tillsonburg Police Service delivery has
been fair and open, and that this was confirmed with the Ministry of the
Solicitor General on numerous and previous occasions.
Mr. John Murray, President, Tillsonburg Police Services Union,
addressed Town Council and asked questions with respect to levels of
service.
Mr. Williamson, O.P.P., stated that the sergeants are front-line working
police officers and that they are team leaders and would assist when
required with the day-to-day operation of policing in the Town of
Tillsonburg.
Ms. Tammy Gould, Tillsonburg Police Services, addressed Town Council
and advised that there have been shortages with respect to the level of
service in the Ontario Provincial Police in other areas across the Province
of Ontario.
Mr. Williamson, O.P.P., addressed those concerns and explained to Town
Council how an integrated Tillsonburg O.P.P. Police Force would handle
such things as vacations and time off for officers and other questions with
respect to back-up policing services.
He further stated that there wa:3, a large pool of labour resources to draw on
with the integrated police force.
Mayor Cam McKnight thanked all participants for sharing their thoughts
with respect to the public presentation on the Ontario Provincial Policing

Re: Planning Comments on Application for Minor Variance A-8/99
Date: May 6, 1999
BACKGROUND
Owner/Applicant:
Dorothy and Arthur Whiteside
Agent:
O. Mandryk, Mandryk & Associates
Location:
69 Hawkins Cres., Hickory Hills
Official Plan:
Low Density Residential
Zoning By-law:
Special Residential Second Density (R2-3)
Adjacent Uses:
Low density residential (all directions)
Proposal: The applicant proposes to recognize the location of an existing covered
porch and bay window on their dwelling.
Requested Relief: 1) Relief from section 7.3.3.2.6, Rear Yard, to reduce the rear yard
from the required 5.65 m (18.5 ft.) to 3.4 m (11.2 ft.)
2) Relief from section 7.3.3.2.4, Lot Coverage, to increase the lot
coverage from the maximum of 50% to 57%.
3) Relief from section 7.3.3.2.8, Interior Side Yard, to reduce the interior
side yard from the required 1.2 m (3.9 ft) to 1.08 m (3.5 ft).
COMMENTS
Intent and Purpose The Official Plan contains a number of policies which the Committee of
of Official Plan: Adjustment shall take into account in reviewing the desirability of minor
variances. These policies state that the Committee consider whether
there are any constraints and/or restrictions to meeting the requirements
of the zoning by-law due to the physical or inherent conditions of the site
or whether alternative designs which would be in conformity with the
zoning by-law are clearly not feasible or appropriate.
Intent and Purpose The purpose of the rear yard and interior side yard provision in a
of Zoning By -Law: Residential Zone is to provide adequate area for maintenance and
drainage, separation between buildings on adjacent properties for
privacy, and in the case of the rear yard, to provide open space and
amenity area. The purpose of the lot coverage provision is to assist in
preserving the low density character of this area by limiting the area that
can be occupied by structure and to limit the 'massing effect' of the
structure.

The homes in Hickory Hills are located relatively close together and
privacy is a key issue in permitting encroachments into the required
setbacks. Although the property has sufficient space around the
structure for maintenance and drainage, our Department is concerned
with the fact that the lot coverage has been exceeded.
Lot coverage is an effective tool in preserving the low density residential
character of this area. Although the location of structures can be
controlled through setback requirements, the "massing" of structures can
only be controlled through lot coverage. The 50% maximum lot coverage
in Hickory Hills is already quite high when compared to the maximum lot
coverage for dwellings in the R1 or R2 zone at 30% and 35%
respectively.
Covered porches and decks are included for the purposes of calculating
lot coverage as they are considered to be part of the building, however,
uncovered porches and decks are not. Therefore, the applicants should
consider the removal of the roof from their existing porch to ensure that
the lot coverage provision is not further exceeded.
Extent of Variance: The variance for lot coverage is not minor.
Desirable Use or Although a large number of homes in Hickory Hills already have enclosed
Development: porches located at the rear of the dwelling, it is the opinion of this
Department that a covered porch is not appropriate in this case as the
maximum lot coverage of the property will be further exceeded.
The existing bay window only projects into a small portion of the interior
side yard and the adjacent property to the north, being on the outside of a
curve in Hawkins Crescent, has a larger interior side yard than other lots
in the area, which assists in providing additional separation for privacy,
access and maintenance. It is therefore, the opinion of this Department
that the location of the bay window is suitable in this instance.
Recommendation: That the Tillsonburg Committee of Adjustment approve application A-8/99
for 69 Hawkins Crescent subject to the following condition:
1) That the applicants remove the roof from their existing covered
porch.

MEMORANDUM
To: Brad Bartlett, Secretary -Treasurer, Tillsonburg Committee of Adjustment
From: Paul Michiels, Oxford County Department of Public Health and Planning
cc: Michael Barrett, Oxford County Department of Public Health and Planning
Re: Planning Comments on Application for Minor Variance A-9/99
Date: May 6, 1999
BACKGROUND
Applicant: Thames Valley District School Board & Tillsonburg Community Services
Agent: I. Linton, Gibson Linton Toth Cambell & Bennett
Location: Lot 380, Plan 500, known municipally as 96 Tillson Avenue.
Official Plan: Residential
Zoning By-law: Institutional (1)
Adjacent Uses: service commercial, medium and high density residential to the north and
low density residential in all other directions
Proposal: The applicant is proposing to recognize the loss of 5 planned parking
spaces during the construction of the Livingston Centre building.
Requested Relief: Relief from Section 5.17.1 - Parking Area Requirements, to reduce the
minimum parking requirement from 167 spaces to 162 spaces.
COMMENTS
Background: The original site plan for the property was approved with 167 spaces.
However 5 parallel parking spaces in front of the building could not be
included because the sidewalk was moved out from the building during
construction to preserve bushes adjacent to the building.
Intent and Purpose In compliance
of Official Plan:
Intent and Purpose The purpose of the parking area provisions is to provide sufficient
of Zoning By -Law: number of parking spaces on the lot to avoid traffic congestion and
excessive demand for on -street parking. The differing number of
required spaces for various types of uses in the Zoning By -Law is
intended to reflect the demand for parking that each use typically
generates. For the purposes of the parking requirement calculation each
use on a lot is treated independently, as if it were a stand alone facility,
and the sum of the requirements used to determine the total number of
spaces required on the lot.

CHLAILU ON:OAMAY 1999
The zoning By -Law provisions do not make allowances for the effect that
complementary uses on the same lot may have on reducing the total
number of parking spaces required, as these effects tend to be hard to
quantify and vary from use to use. In specific situations where a
complementary use argument might be justified, a variance from the
required parking provision could be considered.
The zoning By -Law permits required parking to be supplied on a lot in the
same zone which is within 155 m (508.5 ft) of the lot for which the spaces
are required. The applicants were proposing to provide the 5 additional
spaces at the adjacent Annandale School, however, it was determined
that although the school has more than sufficient parking based on the
number of classrooms, it is deficient in terms of the required parking for
the gymnasium.
Extent of Variance: The variance is minor
Desirable Use or In this case, the Livingston Centre and the Annandale School operate on
Development: the same site and it could be argued that they are complementary uses
for the purposes of sharing required parking, as the Livingston Centre is
primarily a day use, while special functions in the school gymnasium are
often held in the evening. Based on a recent site inspection, there did not
appear to be any existing parking problems on the site and on -street
parking is available on Tillson Ave. across from the facility which would
help to alleviate any potential overflow which may occur.
It is, therefore, the opinion of our Department that a reduction of 5
required parking spaces would not jeopardize the intent of the parking
provisions in this case.
Recommendation: That the Tillsonburg Committee of Adjustment approve application A-9/99
for 96 Tillson Avenue subject to the following condition:
1) Completion of revisions to the site plan to indicate the actual number
of parking spaces provided on the subject property.

Town of Tillsonburg
Committee Of Adjustment 7: "� '� 1�'''
Att: Secretary Treasurer ;
200 Broadway
Tillsonburg, Ontario
Dear Brad Bartlett,
fir`►�' ✓
Subject: Notice of Hearing,Lot 380, plan 500 (96 Tillson Avenue)
I was very surprised and dismayed to receive notice of a hearing into the above zoning
varience on May 31d. this meeting is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. on May 10 (only one week away).
The notice also stated that if we were not, either in attendance at this meeting or represented
by someone, the committee would proceed in our absence without further notice. I find the
tone of this Notice to be very autocratic and abusive in nature. It is physically impossible for
either my wife or I to attend a meeting during the day due to having to work. We also cannot
afford to hire a lawyer to represent us. We can only assume that the Town of Tillsonburg is
not interested in our comments.
I have a real concern with the plan to reduce parking requirements from 167 parking
spaces to 162 spaces. We own the house directly across from the Livingston Centre front
parking lot entrance. Even now, whenever there is an event taking place at the Centre. Cars
are being parked on Tillson Avenue (west side, since the east side is still designated as a bus
zone). The result of this is that it is almost impossible to back out of our driveway onto Tillson
Avenue safely. With the cars parked along the street it is almost impossible to view traffic that
is proceeding south along Tillson Avenue. Since we have the only driveway exiting unto
Tillson Avenue, there are no breaks in the line of parked cars. Unless something is done to
correct the problem, I feel that it is only a matter of time before an accident may occur. I do
not want to put my family nor myself at risk. To reduce the number of parking spaces by five
serves no purpose but to make the situation potentially worse.
The Livingston Centre project was originally approved without consulting the surrounding
property owners. Now we are being asked to "recognize the construction of the Livingston
Centre" and approve a zoning change which should have been properly planned for in the first
case. For this reason, I am against the amendment until such time as they can address the
current necessity of their users parking on the street. In the event of an accident happening
the Town of Tillsonburg and the TVDSB will bear responsibility if they choose to ignore this
situation. Please address this issue, do not ignore it because we are unable to attend.
Sincerely,
/ 1

Budget for advertising expenses.
9. Fire Hall Boiler Replacement
See Section 3. Fire
10. Y2K
Committee of The Whole discussed Y2K requirements. D . Morris, Chief
Administrative Officer advised that two generators were needed to
fulfill those requirements. Committee of The Whole requested a
report on the TownnIs Y2K preparedness from the Chief Administrative
Officer. Mayor C. McKnight stated that he would discuss shared use
and purchase of the generators within the Tillsonburg PUC budget.
The Treasurer stated that in view of the fact that the $100,000.00
Y2K Budget includes the provision to complete the 1998 automation
needs for the Municipal Offices as well as the cost for additional
equipment and Y2K compliance of computer equipment at the Police
Station and at Parks and Recreation and based on the assumption
that a substantial amount (of the $100,000.00) has already been
spent or committed on other items, the preliminary budget provision
will not be sufficient. The Economic Development Officer stated
that if a generator does not have to be funded from the Y2K Budget
provision, the preliminary $100,000.00 would be adequate.
11. Revised Transit Budget
Committee of The Whole received the Five (5) Year Operating
Forecast, as prepared by the Director of Public Services.
12. Airport Grass Mowing Equipment
M. Cowan, Director of Public Services advised that an existing
mower would be used for grass cutting at the Airport and the
Economic Development Officer confirmed that the budget provision
for grass cutting would therefore suffice.
IM
13. Parks and Recreation Capital Expenditures
Letter dated April 21, 1999 from the Director of Parks and
Recreation received by Committee of The Whole.
Committee of The Whole decided to allocate $37,000.00 from the 1999
Budget so that so Parks, Community Centre and Recreation Commission
could proceed with two Projects. See Resolution No. 9 of the
minutes of Town Council under date of April 21, 1999.
C. Summation and Discussion
Memo dated April 7, 1999 received from J. Arts, Treasurer.
J. Arts reported that the Province of Ontario has advised that the
1998 Community Reinvestment Fund available to Tillsonburg would be
$223,000.00, a whopping $176,000.00 less than anticipated for the
1999 preliminary Budget.
J. Arts advised that Reserves to provide for the payout of
sickleave credits should be substantially increased.
J. Arts further advised that $473,000.00 would be required from
1999 taxes as a result of preliminary Budget estimates for the Town
and that there was a preliminary 1998 Budget surplus in the amount
of $329,000.00 which would probably be somewhat reduced, pending
tax adjustments. J. Arts stated that at this point the required
increase for Taxation would be in the amount�144,000.00. Mayor C.
McKnight commented that this would require a 1.8% increase in tax
dollars for the year 1999.
In order to achieve a Zero % increase, Committee of The Whole
directed that the 1999 Budget be reduced by $154,000.00.

DATE: April 22, 1999
PURPOSE:

Tillsonburg, Ontario

(519) 842-8775 - Fax
To review the policy and practices of Developer's utilizing the Drainage Act for the installation
of storm sewers and proposed residential subdivisions.
BACKGROUND:
Mr. Beckett has constructed Municipal sewers, including storm sewers, on Herford Street, as per
the approved plans and is now requesting financial assistance on the over sizing of the storm
sewer.
COMMENTS:
Mr. Beckett has been advised from the onset, that the policy and practice of the Town of
Tillsonburg is that the Developer's have not been able to utilize the Drainage Act for
development of storm sewers, within the Municipality, for new subdivisions.
Storm water management practices currently in place, require a developer to consider all water
entering into the subdivision and responsibility of providing adequate drainage to accommodate.
This is a requirement of the Town of Tillsonburg and the Ministry of Environment. Examples of
a few subdivisions which have been affected by this policy in the past are Georgian Heights,
Oakpark Estates, Bradburn Subdivision and Southridge.

PETITION - THE DRAINAGE ACT
PAGE TWO
COMMENTS CONTINUED
Mr. Beckett has been advised that the additional cost of any drainage report is to be paid for by
the affected property owners, which probably would increase his overall cost of development of
his subdivision.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is therefore recommended that the petition received, not be supported by the Town of
Tillsonburg. Mr. Beckett has the option to appeal to the Drainage Tribunal.
Respectfully submitted,
M.C. Cowan, A.M.C.T.
Director of Public Services

P.S. If it is the desire of the Town to proceed under the Drainage Act, it is recommended that
the Consultant being used by South West Oxford on their drainage report to the east of the
Subdivision, be utilited for this work.

I'm enclosing copies of a Request for a Petition for Drainage Works re: 205 North Street East,
Lot 1, Plan 500 in the Town of Tillsonburg.
I had, originally, approached Town of Tillsonburg (through the Public Works Dept., Mark
Cowan) regarding the possibility of assistance with the cost of picking up the 24" storm drain
that is installed across North Street that is flo,,wing in a southerly direction and emptying onto
my property (new Lot #26). When I had, originally, addressed this situation to Mark, I was told
that the T own of Tillsonburg would not consider any applications under the Drainage Act. I
was, then, advised to approach the Township of South-West Oxford. Most of the water that is
coming through this 24" storm sewer actually comes from the Township of South-West Oxford
into the ditch on the north side of North Street, and flows westward into the Town to the corner
of Beckett Blvd..�t that point, the storm sewer was directed southerly and, simply dumped onto
the property we are presently developing.

Page 2
The cost of the installation of the storm sewer, engineering and works that we have to install has
increased the cost of our development. As we understand, there is a present Petition for
Drainage Work being completed by the Township of South-West Oxford by Spriet and
Associates of London and Tony DeCoo, on -site engineer, that will affect our subdivision and,
possibly, the northeast corner of the Town of Tillsonburg. We feel that the Town of Tillsonburg
should, in fact, become involved in a drainage application that will solve, not only the problems
we have, but one that will work in conjunction with the present application being completed by
the Township of South-West Oxford.
When I spoke to Mr. Cowan, he directed that the Town of Tillsonburg would not deal with any
application under the Drainage Act. We have been advised by the Ontario Drainage Tribunal
that the Municipality must, at least, consider the application/petition under the drainage work.
Would you please address this to the Mayor and Council or supply us with the minutes of any
meetings or by-laws that you have, stating that the Municipality will not deal with petitions under
the Drainage Act.
We are submitting, with this letter, all information supplied to the Township of South-West
Oxford and a revised Petition of Drainage Works directed to the Municipality. Would you
ensure that this is addressed to Council at your earliest possible convenience. We would
appreciate a written response addressing this situation.
Thanking you in advance.
Yours truly,
Lawrence Beckett

RE: Lifting of Part Lot Control
County Contracting of Wheatley Inc.
Lots 48 to 55, Plan 41 M-167
Town of TillsonhuEg (No= Street)
Please find enclosed an application received from County Contracting of Wheatley Inc_ requesting that Part
Lot Control be lifted from Lots 48 to 55 (incl.), 41 M-167 in the Town of Tillsonburg. The application for
exemption from Part Lot Control proposes to create 10 lots, each containing a single family dwelling
unit.
It has been the practice of this Department to request a copy of a resolution from the Council of the Local
Municipality indicating its support for any application for the lifting of Pan Lot Control. It would be appreciated
if you could bring this matter to the attention of Town Council at its meeting of May 10, 1999. The wording
of the resolution by the Council of the Town of Tillsonburg, if it supports this application, should be in the form
of a recommendation to Oxford County Council stating that:
'that fhe lands consisting of Lots 48 to 55 (inclusive), Registered Plan 41 M 167, Town of TZ69sonburg,
be exempted from Part Lot Control and that the County be requested to enact the necessary
exempting by-law as well as entering into a standard Part Lot Control Agreement with the applicant."
We are sending a copy of the application for Part Lot Control Exemption. The Town should ensure that the
proposed single family dwelling development is in compliance with the appropriate Residential Zone
Provisions of the Town of Tillsonburg. Public Health and Planning Committee will consider the application on
May 20,1999 and County Council will consider the By -Law to lift part lot control on May 26, 1999.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

Dear Head of Council:
I am writing to provide information on the education tax rates required by your council to set
your 1999 tax rates.
As you may know, the province proposes to reduce the residential education tax rate by 20 per
cent over the next five years, saving taxpayers $500 million. Combined with the eight -year,
$500 million reduction in business education taxes, taxpayers will save $1 billion in reduced
property takes. As a first step, the 1999 Ontario Hudget announced that the residential education
tax rate will be reduced by 10 per cent, effective for the 1999 tax year. Therefore, the residential
education tax rate for 1999 will be reduced to 0.414 per cent of assessed value from the current
tax rate of 0.46 per cent of assessed value.
A 20 per cent reduction in residential education tax rates will mean a reduction of $150 in
property taxes for the owner of a typical, single-family detached home. The province trusts that
municipalities will not move to occupy the tax room created by a reduction in the provincial
portion of the property tax bill and that municipalities will follow the province's lead and find
efficiencies and savings to also reduce their municipal portion of the tax bill.
The reduction in residential education tax rates will also be applicable to multi -residential
properties, farms and managed forests. With respect to multi -residential properties, the province
proposes to amend the Tenant Protection Act, to ensure that the benefit of reduced education
taxes is passed on to tenants.
:b 9
...2
The province is proposing to amend the Education Act to provide a reduction in the residential
education tax rate. In the interim, the province has filed a regulation setting out the residential
education tax rate and a copy is provided for your information_ In addition, the regulation
regarding the commercial and industrial education tax rates has also been recently filed and a
copy is also attached for your information.
I hope that this information is helpful in setting your 1999 tax rates.
Yours sincerely,
Ernie Eves, Q.C.

PRACTICE DIRECTION No 6
ADJOURRMENTS •
The Ontario Municipal Board's statistics show that approximately 15°% of Board hearing time is
lost due to postponing and rescheduling hearings that do nbt proceed on the date set for the
hearing. This results in delays in completing hearings and substantial cost to the Board.
Hearings are usually scheduled well in advance of a fixed date. Accordingly, it Is reasonable to
expect that parties will conduct any settlement negotiations, prepare their cases, and raise
preftinary issues weft kVadvance and be -prepared to proceed on the date set for the hearing. •
01
Therefore, the Board directs:
1. Hearing dates are peremptory unless the Board orders that an adjournment will be
granted.
2. Requests.for adjournments In which all parties agree to the adjournment must be made
in writing as soon as practicable. The request for adjoumment will not be processed
unless It contains:
a. the reason for the adjournment;
b. the parties from which agreement has been obtained, and.
C. the written consents of all parties agreeing to the adjournment.
3. The request for an adjournment on agreement of the parties will be considered by the
Board's presiding duty vice chair.
4. Generally a request for an adjournment upon agreement of the parties vW1 not be granted
If the lost hearing time cannot be rescheduled by the Board. Exceptions vvr11 be made
only in extenuating circumstances, for example, illness of counsel or witnesses where the
Illness o=m so near to the hearing date that renders It Impossible for another counsel
to be properly briefed or another witness to be substituted, as the case may be.
5. Adjoumments will generally not be granted on grounds of late retainer. Lawyers and
other professional witnesses accepting a retainer close to a hearing date where there is
insufficient time to prepare for the case may wish to specify to their clients that the
retainer includes the seeking of an adjournment and that if the adjournment is not
granted, they may be unable to represent the client properly.
6. Requests for adjournment rLot on agreement of the parties should be made by motion
pursuant to Rule 11 of the Board's Rules of Procedure (requiring at least 10 days'
notice).
7. Where a hearing is adjourned pursuant to a Board order,
(a) a new hearing date will be assigned, or,
(b) where appropriate, the Board will set the matter down for a status hearing.
8. Indoinite adjournments wvil be granted only in circumstances where the request was
made by the applicant or proponent and no prejudice results from the delay to any other
parties. The hearing will lose Its place in the hearing queue and the Board MI not
actively follow up and endeavour to reschedule the hearing. The rescheduling request
must come front one of the parties.

FULL AUTHORITY - MINUTES
April 70999
The Full Authority met in the Authority Boardroom at 7:30 p.m. All rri'embers were n /
except L. Chanda and P. Black. Staff resent were J. Oliver, P. Bravener, D._ g�
Baskerville. The Chairman welcomed everyone to the meeting.
The Chairman called for disclosures of interest and received none. Correspondence from Parks
Ontario was added to the agenda. The words "nominations be closed" were noted to be added
to page 4 of the February 26 h minutes re: the paragraph for Nominations for Chairman of
Finance.
MOTION A 8 - moved by J. Wells, seconded by F. Sanderson and carried that the minutes of
the previous meeting of the Full Authority held February 26, 1999 be adopted as circulated.
Review of Committee Minutes:
M. Gartshore questioned the wording of the 5`' paragraph on page one of the Resources
Management Committee minutes. She stated the minutes should reflect that all four options be
reviewed at the next resources committee meeting regarding the memorandum from D. Puttock
on public consultation. She also took exception to the wording consensus as written in the same
paragraph in the 2" d to last line. The four options of action will be reviewed at the first meeting
of the Resource Management Committee held after the Forest Management Plan is approved.
R. Orth questioned if drilling for a well had been considered for Haldimand C. A. instead of the
water intake pipe line. B. Abele stated the committee felt the recommendation from the Field
Superintendent was the best solution as presented. D. Holmes provided further information.
D. Van Londersele reported that he had received a telephone call earlier in the afternoon from
Peter Carson regarding any recommendation the Full Authority approves regarding Motions FP-2
and 3. Mr. Carson is not in favour of LPRCA approving these two tenders. Mr. Van Londersele
stated that the Resources Committee had spent one and a half hours reviewing information that
had been presented/ discussed regarding the Caley Abbot -Palmer Tract and the committee chose
not to defer the tender approvals prior to the recommendations made at the Finance & Personnel
Committee on March 17`h. Mr. VanLondersele noted that he had taken the liberty to request the
Regional Municipality Tree Commissioner, Steve Scheers to review the prescription being applied
to the Caley, Abbott, Palmer Tract based on concerns, questions being voiced. At that point a
memorandum was circulated dated March 17`' prepared by S. Scheers, Tree Commissioner for
Haldimand-Norfolk. The information was reviewed. The Tree Commissioner points out that
the existing Basal Area of the stand is within that defined by the LPRCA prescription, with some
minor discrepancies between Acceptable Growing Stock &. Unacceptable Growing Stock totals.
He notes reference to the "Recommended Basal Area Distribution of Cut" as not being accurate
and can be misinterpreted, but states that the prescription is within the Provincial Silvicultural
Guidelines. He states that he agrees with the Basal Area numbers supplied by M. Gartshore for
Areas 1 and 3 . He suggests in the future that all harvest areas should be inventoried separately
and have prescriptions developed separately. In regards to concerns voiced over heavy cutting
in the larger size classes he suggests that this can be attributed to the fact there are no trees to
harvest from the lower size classes. He agrees with the recommendation of D. Puttock to

complete a regeneration and improvement cut in one pass which would guarantee that all
silvicultural work is completed. He states all harvest areas should be inventoried separately and
have prescriptions developed separately. Mr. Scheers noted that LPRCA does not currently have
a process to help staff in developing prescriptions and this example alone indicates the need for
a Forestry Advisory Board which would assist in the development of prescriptions so that
concerns with LPRCA activities do not arise in the last hour. M. Gartshore reported that she had
spoke with S. Scheers regarding her concerns. She noted her concern that the prescription for
the Caley Abbott -Palmer Tract does not address the fact the property is classified as a class 1
wetland, which there are few of in Brant County. This is also addressed in S. Sheers memo. She
again voiced her opinion that the prescription for the Caley Abbot -Palmer Tract is a Commercial
Harvest only. M. Gartshore noted that S. Scheers recommends that the entire area be released
for harvesting in a staggered process and questioned if the contract addresses this method. D.
Holmes reported that the contract is written to harvest both the poor and good at the same level.
Mr. Van Londersele noted that Mr. Carson stated to him that if LPRCA were to proceed to award
the tender contract for this tract that LPRCA could be subject to negative press. He then asked
the committee how do you wish to proceed? R. Orth reported that area residents are aware that
this parcel of property is going to be logged and he has not received any complaints, in fact he
has been told that it should be done. J. Wells requested more information /explanation regarding
silvicultural work. D. Holmes responded. Discussion referenced the decisions that were made
with the Hepburn Tract and the length of time to arrive at those decisions. Several members
expressed the view that there is always going to be a difference of opinion regarding the
management of the forest and that it will always be a contentious issue regardless of the
guidelines.
J. Wells requested an explanation on the paragraph in the Finance Minutes regarding the MNR
correspondence for the provincial grant. Mr. Oliver responded.
M. Gartshore requested that the motions FP-2 and FP-3 be pulled from the Finance Minutes
dated March 17' for a recorded vote.
MOTION FP-9 - moved by J. Lester, seconded by R. Orth and carried that the Authority approve .
the action taken and accept the recommendations made as recorded in the minutes of the
following meetings:
Backus management Committee - March 9,1999
Resources Management Committee - March 10, 1999
Finance & Personnel Committee - March 17, 1999 except Motion FP-2 AND FP-3

The General Manger referred to his memorandum dated March 2" d regarding conflict of interest
policy and abstention from voting. The memo refers to the "Members Manual", and Robert's
Rules of Order for procedures. He noted that M. Gartshore was correct when she declared a
conflict and abstained from voting on the 1999 budget at the annual meeting.
Both the General Manager and the Chairman provided information on the provincial marketing
plan "Conservation Journeys" which is being proposed as the province wide marketing plan for
conservation authorities. They touched on some of the interesting points of strategy that is
proposed . The plan is a three year business plan and is structured that all Conservation
Authorities be part of the group. There will be a revenue sharing formula and all seed funding
will be collected on the basis of the Conservation Ontario levy distribution formula for the year
1999. The marketing campaign hopes to acquire new, active conservation Authority supporters
from a variety of niche markets, unexploited by Conservation Authorities in the past. Mr. Oliver
was asked if funding would be available for this expenditure. He responded that the corporate
section of the budget would have to identify any excess funding to meet this additional expense
not budgeted in 1999.
MOTION A-12 - moved by S. Hazen, seconded by J. Wells and carried that the Authority
approve the provincial marketing and fundraising proposal presented by Conservation Ontario
on March 29, 1999 and titled `Conservation Journeys" AND FURTHER that the Authority agree
to the special financial contribution to this campaign of approximately $2,250 in 1999 and
$2,250 in 2000.

(a) Proposal
An application for zone change has been submitted to permit the construction of one single
detached dwelling on the subject property. The lands to -be rezoned have a frontage of 51.1
m (168 ft.) and an area of approximately 3,824 sq m (41,163 sq. ft.).
It should be noted that a 6.1 m (20 ft.) strip along the entire west side of the property is to be
deeded to the Town of Tillsonburg for a watermain. The lands to be deeded to the Town of
Tillsonburg are also to be rezoned to a R1 Zone.
A zone change is required as the present "Development (D)" zone only recognizes an existing
single detached dwelling but does not permit the construction of a new dwelling. The D Zone
is intended to act as a holding zone until such time as the property is fully serviced and can be
better utilized for residential purposes in the future.
Plate 1, Existing Zoning, indicates the location of the subject property as well as the existing
zoning in the immediate vicinity. Lands to the south contain the Hickory Hills residential
development while lands to the west contain other low density residential development. Lands
to the northeast contain ravine lands surrounding Stoney Creek.
Plate 2, Boolicant's Sketch Plan, indicates the location of the proposed dwelling on the subject
property.
(b) Official Plan
The subject property is located within the "Residential" and "Open Space" designations on
the Land Use Plan for the Town of Tillsonburg in the County Official Plan. The Open
Space designation applies to the eastern side of the property adjacent to the Stoney Creek
ravine.
Although the Low Density Residential designation permits all forms of low density
residential development, it must be ensured that the construction of the proposed dwelling
will not impact the Open Space area along the east side of the property. In considering
proposals for development within the Open Space area, Town Council shall consider a
number of criteria to ensure protection of the Open Space area. These criteria are:
"• new development in accordance with the permitted uses will only be allowed where
appropriate measures can be taken to mitigate and compensate for environmental impacts
to ensure no net loss and to ensure hazards from development are mitigated;
permitted structures shall be those which are accessory or ancillary to the Open Space use,
such as accessory residences, a golf "pro" shop, a clubhouse, refreshment stand, bleachers,
swimming pool, change -house, structures required for horticulture and agriculture or which
are integral to the recreational use of the land;
the area covered by structures shall be minimized and parking areas shall not be paved.
Such facilities shall be set back from the edge of streams and located away from sites of
significant natural vegetation;
ZON 7-270
Page 3
retention of areas of existing native vegetation shall be maximized and grading and drainage
plans shall maintain existing surface water flows to those areas;
buffers comprised of native vegetation shall be required between natural features, such as
streams and areas of significant natural vegetation, and recreational areas and facilities,
• on -site drainage and stormwater management facilities shall be designed to minimize
contamination of receiving waters while maximizing subsurface infiltration to the groundwater
regime;
• private or communal sewage disposal systems shall be established in accordance with
Provincial and County criteria;
• any development proposed on lands which are designated Open Space which are
associated with a Regulatory Flood Plain or a steep slopes hazard will also satisfy the criteria
of Section 3.2.12.1 and 3.2.12.2."
It should be stressed that no construction is proposed within the Open Space designation
as the dwelling is to be located in the Low Density Residential designation. However, the
construction of the single detached dwelling must not negatively impact the adjacent Open
Space designation.
It is the opinion of this Department that the construction of the dwelling can be constructed
without negatively impacting the Open Space area. The applicant has designed a site plan
concept which has been reviewed by the Town Department of Public Services as well as
the Long Point Region Conservation Authority.
To ensure protection of the Open Space lands, our Department would recommend that the
applicant proceed through the site plan approval process. The site plan can be registered
on title to ensure measures taken to protect the Open Space area are constructed in
accordance with the specifications of both the Town and the Conservation Authority.
(c) Zoning By -Law
The subject property is zoned "Development (D)" in the Tillsonburg Zoning By -Law. The
D Zone permits a variety of farm uses, as well as residential and non-residential uses
which were in existence on the date of passing of the zoning by-law. The applicant has
requested a "Residential First Density (R1)" Zone to permit the construction of the
proposed dwelling. The subject property will conform with all requirements of the R1 Zone.
(d) Agency Comments
The Long Point Region Conservation Authority has indicated that:
"We have met on -site with the applicant and his agents to review the development of this site
as a residential lot /n response to preliminary concems that we had regarding this site, they
have provided us with a development concept plan that demonstrated that those concerns
could be adequately addressed (ie. slope stability, storm water run-off, fisheries impact).
ZON 7-270
Page 4
In addition to any site plan controls that the municipality may impose, the applicant will
require permission from the Long Point Region Conservation Authority under our Fill,
Construction and Alteration to Waterways regulation.
Based on the above, we would have no objection to the approval of this application. "
The Tillsonbura Public Utilities Commission has indicated that it has no objection to the
application, however, the owner shall consult with the PUC early in the design stages to
ascertain the availability and requirements, as well as financial conditions, of both hydro
and water servicing for the development. The PUC states that if relocation of its electric
and/or water plant is required due to construction, the owner shall bear all costs associated
with the said relocation. The PUC states that water service will be provided from the water
main running along the west side of the subject property.
The Town Director of Public Services and the Town Chief Building Official have indicated
that their Departments have no objection to the application provided the property is subject
to site plan control.
Bell Canada has indicated that the application is okay, however, they indicate that there
may be a potential problem servicing this lot. Bell Canada indicates that a utility easement
down the side of one of the new Hickory Hills sites may address this problem.
The remaining responding agencies consisting of the Oxford County Director of Public
Works and Union Gas have no objections to or comments with this application.
(e) Planning Review_
The applicant has requested a rezoning of the property to permit the construction of a
single detached dwelling. The rezoning is required as the existing D Zone does not permit
the construction of a new dwelling.
It is the opinion of this Department that the applicant has adequately addressed the criteria
for development within the Open Space designation in the County of Oxford Official Plan.
To ensure that the construction of the dwelling addresses the criteria of the County Official
Plan as well as the Town and the Long Point Region Conservation Authority, we would
recommend that the property be placed under a site plan control by-law.
Single detached dwellings are exempt from the site plan approval process, however, our
Department believes that the site plan approval process will help address the concerns of
all agencies.
A draft zoning by-law amendment has been attached to this report for Council's review.
The zoning by-law rezones the property to a "Residential First Density (R1)" Zone.

The Leadership IN
Potential k`
in All of UsAILI }
Dr. J.W. Fanning
Every individual has the potential for leadership
and the challenge to use this leadership in
helping people to help themselves.
Leadership...
♦ has the responsibility to listen and help the
people to express their heart -felt needs and
desires for a better way of living.
♦ is the process of helping people to bring
hope into their lives by setting up and
working toward goals for making life better.
♦ has the responsibility to help people to think
anew and act —to honor their traditions but
never to become traditionalists.
♦ helps the people of their community to want
to do more than they otherwise would.
♦ helps people to understand, to gain
confidence in themselves, and to be
inspired to accomplish.
Leadership is most effective in helping people
help themselves, so that when the job is
accomplished the people say, "We did it
ourselves"
Trends in Volunteerism...
r More people are volunteering.
r The "typical" volunteer has changed.
r Volunteers are more focused on what they
want to do.
r Volunteers have to budget time commitment
more.
r More volunteers want one-time or short term
volunteer opportunities.
r Volunteers have an enhanced political
awareness of volunteering.
r More people use volunteering to support
their careers.
r There are more legal liability concerns for
volunteers and managers.
r Volunteers often want to have more say in
the organizations they support.
