Application Review PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT: The 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development. Under Section 3 of the Planning Act, where a municipality is exercising its authority affecting a planning matter, such decisions “shall be consistent with” all policy statements issued under the Act. Section 1.1.3.1 of the PPS states that Settlement Areas will be the focus of growth and their vitality and regeneration shall be promoted. Section 1.3.1 of the PPS states that planning authorities shall promote economic development and competitiveness by: providing an appropriate mix and range of employment to meet long-term needs; providing opportunities for a diversified economic base, including the maintenance of a range and choice of suitable sites for employment uses which support a wide range of economic activities and ancillary uses and take into account the needs of existing and future businesses; 41 Report No: CASPO 2016-51 COMMUNITY AND STRATEGIC PLANNING Council Date: March 14, 2016 Page 3 of 5 planning for, protecting and preserving employment areas for current and future uses; and ensuring the necessary infrastructure is provided to support current and projected needs. OFFICIAL PLAN: The subject lands are designated ‘Industrial’ according to the Town of Tillsonburg Land Use Plan, as contained in the County Official Plan. Areas designated for Industrial use are intended to include permitted uses such as assembling, manufacturing, fabricating, processing, repair activities, environmental industries, wholesaling, storage and warehousing industries, construction industries, communication and utility industries, transportation and cartage industries, and technological service industries. Section 8.3.5.2 - Established Industrial Uses, apply to existing industrial areas that are located in proximity to existing residential areas. The policies of this section recognize the historic development on these industrial areas and their importance to employment. In this respect, Town Council: may recognize such uses in the Zoning By-law and permit such uses to expand; may protect such industry from the encroachment of additional non-industrial uses which are incompatible with industrial activity; may protect such industrial areas which can provide locational opportunities for small “incubator” industries and businesses by special zoning in the Zoning By-law; will consider the re-use or redevelopment of existing industrial buildings or sites, through site specific zoning or a functional zoning category in the Zoning By-law, for limited service commercial uses directly supportive of and primarily serving business and industry uses; will consider the re-use or redevelopment of existing industrial buildings, through site specific zoning or a functional zoning category in the Zoning By-law, for limited service commercial uses serving the broader public. Within the Industrial Area designation, the following criteria will be satisfied prior to permitting development or redevelopment: Where an Industrial Area designation is near to existing or planned residential, open space or institutional uses, adequate buffering through distance separation, fencing or landscaping, and building or site design will be provided to minimize potential nuisance; Existing municipal services will be adequate to accommodate the development; Buildings will be sufficiently setback from the streetline to ensure that substantial landscaping in the form of berming and/or vegetative screening can be incorporated into yards and parking areas directly adjacent to the streetline; Adequate off-street parking and loading areas will be provided; The effect of the proposed development on environmental resources and the impact of environmental constraints on the proposed development will be addressed and mitigated in accordance with the policies of Section 3.2. TOWN OF TILLSONBURG ZONING BY-LAW: The subject property is currently zoned ‘General Industrial Zone (MG)’, according to the Town of Tillsonburg Zoning By-law. A variety of industrial uses are permitted within the ‘MG’ zone including, a contractor’s shop or yard, fabricating plant, machine shop, manufacturing plant, processing plant and warehouse. 42 Report No: CASPO 2016-51 COMMUNITY AND STRATEGIC PLANNING Council Date: March 14, 2016 Page 4 of 5 The ‘MG’ zone also requires a minimum lot area of 600 m2 (6,458.5 ft2), a minimum frontage of 20 m (65.6 ft), a minimum depth of 30 m (98.4 ft), minimum front and exterior side yard widths of 15 m (49.2 ft), a minimum interior side yard width of 20 m (65.6 ft) adjacent to an ‘IN1’ zone, a minimum setback of 25 m (82 ft) to the centreline of a street, and a maximum lot coverage of 70%. 19 parking spaces, including 1 accessible space, as well as 1 loading space to accommodate for the proposed addition, are also required. It should be noted that the location of the existing building is considered to be legal non- conforming according to Section 5.21.1 (Non-Conforming Building Location) of the Zoning By- law. As such, special provisions are only required to recognize the location of the proposed addition. Based on the site plan provided by the applicant, special provisions are required to recognize a reduced interior side yard width of 3 m (9.8 ft), a reduced exterior side yard width of 3.4 m (11 ft) and a reduced setback of 18 m (59 ft) from the centreline of Elm Street. It would appear that the required parking spaces will be provided. AGENCY COMMENTS: The application was circulated to various public agencies considered to have an interest in the proposal. The Town Building Services Department indicated that the property is subject to site plan control. The Town Engineering Department, Town Development Commissioner, Oxford County Public Works Department and Sourcewater Protection Risk Management Official indicated that they have no concerns with the proposal. PUBLIC CONSULTATION: Notice of complete application and notice of public meeting regarding this application was circulated to surrounding property owners on February 11, 2016 & February 29, 2016. At the time this report was written, no comments or concerns had been received from the public. Planning Analysis The purpose of the application for zone change is to rezone the subject property to introduce special provisions to facilitate the construction of an addition with a reduced interior side yard width, exterior side yard width and setback from the centerline of Elm Street. Planning staff are satisfied that the proposal complies with the policies of the PPS respecting the protection of employment lands and providing opportunities for a diversified economic base as the existing use is not sensitive in nature and will not detract from other established industrial and commercial uses in the broader industrial area. The proposal also appears to conform to the Industrial Area policies contained in the Official Plan. Although the property is located in proximity to existing residential and institutional development, Staff note that the property is buffered by an existing Town-owned woodlot located on the ‘IN1’ zoned parcel to the immediate north, which will continue to minimize potential nuisance. Adequate municipal services and on-site parking are also available to accommodate the proposed development. 43 Report No: CASPO 2016-51 COMMUNITY AND STRATEGIC PLANNING Council Date: March 14, 2016 Page 5 of 5 Although special provisions are required to recognize a reduced exterior side yard width and setback from the centerline of Elm Street, Staff note that the addition will be located no closer to the street then the existing building on the property. In this respect, it is not anticipated that the proposed addition will further impact sightlines along the street or inhibit the visual character of the area. Planning staff note that this portion of Elm Street currently only serves the subject lands and the adjacent industrial property to the south. While the proposed interior side yard width represents a significant deviation from what is typically permitted, given the presence of the existing woodlot to the north, Staff are satisfied that adequate buffering is available to minimalize any further impacts on the institutional property to the north. In light of the foregoing, it is the opinion of this Office that the proposal is consistent with the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement and in keeping with the policies of the County Official Plan. Planning staff are satisfied that the application can be given favourable consideration. A copy of the draft Zoning By-law amendment is attached to this report for Council’s consideration. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Council of the Town of Tillsonburg approve the zone change application submitted on behalf of Dynamic Fluid Products Inc., whereby the lands described as Lot 29, Plan 966, Town of Tillsonburg, municipally known as 40 Cedar Street are to be rezoned from ‘General Industrial Zone (MG)’ to ‘Special General Industrial Zone (MG-6)’ to permit the construction of an addition with reduced interior side yards width, exterior side yard width and setback from the centreline of Elm Street.

These changes share a common goal – increased transparency, shared understanding of property assessments, and stability and predictability in the municipal tax base. With these laudable objectives in mind, a myriad of opportunities exist as we work cooperatively to implement improvements to Ontario’s property tax regime. To that end, I am pleased to share some important highlights with you. 2016 Property Assessment Notices MPAC has put a great deal of effort into redesigning the 2016 Property Assessment Notice (PAN). The new design uses clear language and design principles, and integrates all of the statutory requirements surrounding property assessment information. The new PAN also includes details about how municipalities use MPAC’s values and other relevant information about Ontario’s assessment system. In addition to a new design, Property Assessment Notices for Residential properties will be delivered up to five months earlier than ever before. The redesigned Notice and early mailing dates will help property owners to better understand their assessment and resolve concerns before the final assessment rolls for 2017 taxation are delivered to municipalities in December. The 21-week Notice mailing schedule, which is staggered across the province, begins on April 4 of this year with Notices being delivered to occupied and vacant land properties that have a single Residential Taxable (RT) property tax class. Residential properties that have a seniors and disabled exemption or a commercial or industrial portion will be mailed in the Fall together with the Notices for farm, managed forest, commercial and industrial properties. The 2016 Notice mailing schedule and corresponding Request for Reconsideration deadlines are attached for your information. For non-residential properties, we are continuing our pre-roll consultations by engaging municipalities and industry representatives on a variety of property types including large and special purpose business properties, multi-residential and farm properties. 56 February 16, 2016 Important changes for the 2016 Assessment Update Page 2 of 2 1340 Pickering Parkway, Suite 101, Pickering, ON L1V 0C4 www.mpac.ca Sharing 2016 Base Year Valuations As increased transparency, shared understanding, stability and predictability in the municipal tax base are key objectives for MPAC during the 2016 Assessment Update, we have redesigned Municipal ConnectTM to offer municipalities a modern and flexible way to access assessment information, including the preliminary 2016 base year values for the 2017 to 2020 tax years. The preliminary values for residential properties will be available in the new Municipal Connect starting early in the second quarter of this year; preliminary values for other property types will be made available as they are finalized. Along with the newly designed Municipal Connect application, our Municipal and Stakeholder Relations team will engage with you and your staff early and often to discuss the preliminary values and MPAC’s regular in-year maintenance activities. Legislative Changes to Request for Reconsideration Deadline On December 10, 2015, Bill 144, Budget Measures Act, 2015 took effect resulting in significant changes to the Request for Reconsideration (RfR) process. For the 2017 tax year, property owners will have 120 days from the Issue Date of their 2016 Property Assessment Notice to file a RfR. The historical March 31st RfR deadline does not apply for the 2017 tax year. The Issue Date and the unique RfR deadline will be included on every Property Assessment Notice. In response to each RfR, MPAC has up to 180 days to complete its review and respond to the property owner. Better Service for Property Owners We appreciate how significant the 2016 Assessment Update is for property owners and we have developed an extensive outreach and engagement strategy to communicate the changes. MPAC’s online self-service tool, AboutMyProperty™, has been rebranded and simplified based on taxpayer research – providing property owners with an easy-to-use interface and improved navigation features. Visitors can learn more about how their property was assessed, view information we have on file, as well as compare it to other properties in their neighbourhood – additional information will also be available on-line without requiring those who visit AboutMyProperty to log in to the site. The enhanced tool will be available to property owners in correlation with Property Assessment Notice delivery. As 2016 unfolds, we look forward to working closely with our stakeholders to implement the significant reforms that are underway. Please contact your Regional Manager or Account Manager, Municipal and Stakeholder Relations, if you would like additional information or to further discuss these changes.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION Council received a request from the Tillsonburg Resource Network (TRN) at their January 11, 2016 meeting and directed staff to research options and bring a report back to Council for consideration. The request was to use Town owned lands to enable the placement of up to two storage containers. Subsequent to this, staff provided Council with a report at their January 25, 2016 meeting and the following motion was approved: “THAT Council receives Report DCS 16-02, Storage Request from the Tillsonburg Resource Network; AND THAT staff be directed to continue negotiations with the Tillsonburg Resource Network with the intent to bring back a lease agreement for Council’s consideration.” 59 On February 18, 2016, staff received notification by email that this initiative was no longer being pursued by the Tillsonburg Resource Network. This was further to conversations where staff was advised that alternative arrangements had been made. Based on this, staff will not be moving forward with finding a location nor entering into a lease in this regard. COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN Not applicable. CONSULTATION/COMMUNICATION Not applicable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The pricing and terms for banking services was last accepted by Council at the Council meeting of September 14, 2009. In accordance with the Purchasing Policy, By-Law 3967, Council shall determine if the purchasing process may be forgone for a single source supplier. Staff is recommending that a request for proposal (RFP) not be followed for banking services because of the favorable service that TD provides the Town; the continued favorable pricing that TD provides; the substantial Town cost and lengthy time involved to do an RFP and potentially to switch financial institutions; and the overall favorable TD value proposition (fees, interest paid on deposit accounts and interest paid on any operating lines, if any). TD has provided staff a current renewal offer that lowers the Town’s current pricing by an estimated annual amount of $5,943. In the Director’s opinion, there is no overall incentive to pursue a RFP and that the TD Commercial Banking offer remains fair and favorable to the Town and should be accepted. If Council concurs with the proposed recommendation, Staff will bring to Council the TD renewal offer to the next Council meeting for Council’s approval. The renewal offer agreement is not attached to this report to protect the TD offer terms should Council consider the alternative RFP approach. 63 STAFF REPORT FIRE & RESCUE SERVICES Report Title: Fire Dept. Strategic Plan Committee Update Report No.: FRS 16-03 Author: Jeff Smith, Fire Chief Meeting Type: COUNCIL MEETING Council Date: MARCH 14, 2016 Attachments: NIL RECOMMENDATION: THAT Council receives report FRS 16-03 Fire Dept. Strategic Plan Committee Update as information; AND THAT Council directs the Fire Chief to re-advertise to fill the municipal business positions on the Strategic Fire Planning Committee. SUMMARY In June of 2015, Council adopted the Terms of Reference for a Strategic Fire Planning Steering Committee. Subsequent to this approval, advertisements for volunteer members of the community to join the committee were placed in the Town’s weekly Tillsonburg Update. The advertising continued for several issues over the course of the following 3 months. The Terms of Reference cited a Steering Committee with the following composition: Steering Committee A Strategic Fire Planning Steering Committee shall be established to oversee the entire planning process and provide advice and direction to the working committee(s) as required. The committee shall be comprised of the following members: • Member of municipal Council • Chief Administrative Officer (ex officio) • Fire Chief (ex officio) • Fire Officer (volunteer Captain, acting Captain or Platoon Chief) • Firefighter (volunteer) • Municipal citizens (2) • Municipal business (3): 64 o Multi-Unit Residential property owner o Industrial / Commercial property owner o Transportation representative (rail, road) To date, two (2) expressions of interest have been received from the local community to become members of the committee, both of whom would qualify for bullet #6 – Municipal Citizens. One of the applicants does have prior experience on a Strategic Planning Committee in the emergency services field (E.M.S. specifically). The three (3) Municipal Business positions remain vacant despite our advertising. The Fire Department members will be recruited upon filling the civilian spots. There has been sufficient indications of interest from our firefighters that I no issues are anticipated in filling these spots. Potential options to continue moving the process forward include: 1. Obtain the two (2) fire department members and bring forth the two (2) municipal citizen members to Council for appointment and proceed with a reduced committee size (pending Council approval of the revised Terms of Reference); 2. Re-advertise for the three (3) municipal business spots specifically, and then bring forth names to Council; 3. Solicit members of Council for recommendations for the vacant positions and bring forth names to Council; or 4. Modify the Committee composition to include an additional firefighter and an additional member of Council, eliminating one (1) Committee position. To maintain the integrity of the Committee membership, the Fire Chief should not solicit members of our Community to be on this committee. Of the options listed hereinabove, it is recommended that the Committee be re-advertised specifically for the three (3) business positions.

The Curbside Christmas Tree Collection Program has historically been provided to Town residents for a 2-3 week period during the month of January with the program advertised in the local newspaper during the holiday season. Public Works staff coordinate other maintenance activities with scouting the Town for Christmas trees set at the curbside and deposit all collected Christmas trees at the Yard Waste Depot of the Transfer Station. Residents who wish to dispose of their Christmas tree earlier or later than the Curbside Christmas Tree Collection Program, or who simply do not want to place their Christmas tree at the curbside, are able to dispose of their Christmas tree at the Yard Waste Depot of the Transfer Station. The Curbside Christmas Tree Collection Program is weather dependent and may be delayed or cancelled entirely during prolonged or successive winter events when Public Works focuses on winter maintenance activities. In some years completion of the program has not been an issue while in other year’s curbside Christmas trees were not collected until the spring and interfered with performing winter control operations. Issues range from snowplows encountering Christmas trees blown into the street during a snow storm to sidewalk clearing operations encountering Christmas trees pushed back from the curbside due to roadway plowing operations or from strong winds. Page 1 / 2 66 CONSULTATION/COMMUNICATION Notice to residents regarding upcoming deliberations of the Curbside Christmas Tree Collection Program at the March 14th 2016 Regular Council Meeting was advertised in the Update Tillsonburg page of the Tillsonburg News on March 2nd and March 9th 2016. FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE The historical cost of the annual Curbside Christmas Tree Collection Program ranges between $5,000 - $7,000 of labour and fleet charges. Discontinuation of the program will not result in any direct cost savings, however would provide an opportunity to reallocate resources to other maintenance activities such as road and sidewalk winter maintenance, storm drainage, asphalt patching, etc. as well as an opportunity to explore different Transfer Station hours of operation during the month of January. Should the Curbside Christmas Tree Collection Program continue staff propose that the duration of the program be limited to one (1) week in January to allow for a more focused and efficient collection operation.

SUMMARY Tenders were called for the Trottier Phase 1 – Stage 4 Reconstruction Project of Goldenrod Drive and Burdock Court as shown in Figure 1. A total of sixteen (16) plan takers and eight (8) bids were received on February 25th 2016 with the lowest bid from Elgin Construction Ltd. at $394,614.05 (net HST included). The roadway profiles of Goldenrod Drive and Burdock Court are being adjusted to improve surface drainage including the installation of catch basins and curb & gutter that will eliminate the need for driveway culverts. The removal of driveway culverts is part of the contract scope of work including all required restoration. The reconstruction also involves the installation of new watermain, storm sewers and asphalt road surface. The tender was advertised on the Tillsonburg website, the Tillsonburg News, Ebid Solutions and on Biddingo. Results of the tender are summarized below: Page 1 / 3 68 Bidder Location Bid Amount 1.

Nevan Construction Inc. Kingsville, ON $ 681,476.54 The above bids include net HST of 1.76%. The lowest bid amount is comprised of $135,062.67 County and $259,551.38 Town costs. The bids also include a $15,000 contingency allowance for any unforeseen expenses encountered during construction. Approval for the watermain and storm sewer works has been received through Transfer of Review from Oxford County. The references for Elgin Construction were also satisfactory. CONSULTATION/COMMUNICATION An information letter was hand delivered to residents on February 4, 2016, advising of the reconstruction project, and that the drawing set was available for public viewing at the Customer Service Centre between regular business hours of 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM from February 4th to February 26th. Staff discussed the scope of work with a number of residents on-site and received four (4) follow-up requests for information mainly related to construction timing, impact to driveways, curb type and lot drainage. Any planned full roadway or lane closures in order to facilitate the work will be kept to a minimum and communicated to affected residents in advance. Residents in the construction area will also be notified of the overall construction schedule and potential impacts prior to and during the course of construction as necessary. FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE The Town allocated $322,500 of Gas Tax proceeds in the 2016 budget, however with the tendered price of $259,551.38 for Town items it is anticipated that $62,948.62 will remain in the Town’s Gas Tax funding pool for use on future road capital infrastructure. The total tendered price for the County’s portion of contract items is $135,062.67.

SUMMARY During the 2016 Budget Deliberations Council requested a grass cutting cost comparison for the Airport be provided in advance of proceeding with the replacement of the 1999 14’ rotary wing mower attachment. In accordance with Transport Canada recommended best practices for wildlife management and turf landing strip maintenance the approximate 87 acres of grassed area at the Airport is maintained as follows: Area Best Practice Grass Runways < 5cm (< 2”) Grass around the Main Runway, Apron, Taxiways, Terminal Building and Hangers 8 - 10cm (3 - 4”) Drainage Swales & Ditches 15 - 20cm (6 - 8”) Page 1 / 2 71 Over the last four (4) years the 14’ rotary wing mower attachment has received significant repairs that eventually led to each of the three foot (3’) wings being removed from the main eight foot (8’) mower deck for the 2015 grass cutting season. Airport maintenance staff typically devote about 360 hours per year to turf maintenance, however with the reduced grass cutting width approximately twice as much effort was required to complete the same task compared to previous years. Unfortunately staff were not able to keep pace with grass growth during the 2015 grass cutting season and acquired the services of two contractors to help maintain the grassed areas. Each contractor was called out a total of four (4) times, one with an overall cost of $3,307 for approximately 32.5 hours of turf maintenance, and the other with an overall cost of $2,442 for approximately 24 hours of turf maintenance producing an average contractor hourly rate of approximately $101.75/hr. The cost-benefit analysis summary below indicates the cost of performing Airport turf maintenance in-house is about 15% lower than contractor services. * In-house hourly rate includes labour and associated corporate overhead costs, the annual operation and maintenance cost of the equipment and the annual contribution to future replacement of the equipment. CONSULTATION/COMMUNICATION In addition to consulting Airport maintenance staff the following Transport Canada documents were also consulted during the review of Airport turf maintenance. 1) Advisory Circular (AC) No. 300-004 Unpaved Runway Surfaces – Section 9.0 Maintenance & Repair of Turf Landing Strips, 2016 2) Wildlife Control Procedures Manual (TP 11500) – Section C Habitat Modification - Passive Management Techniques, 2010 3) TP 13549 Sharing the Skies – Chapter 8 The Airport & Surroundings, 2010 FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE Based on the above cost-benefit analysis summary the lowest overall cost to perform turf maintenance at the Airport is achieved by owning the equipment and utilizing Town staff resources. 2016 Cost-Benefit Analysis Est. Cost Contracted Airport Turf Maintenance: ($101.75/hr x 360 hrs) $36,630 In-House Airport Turf Maintenance: ($86.50/hr x 360 hrs)* $31,140 Page 2 / 2 72 STAFF REPORT OPERATIONS SERVICES Report Title: Pedestrian Crossing Accessibility Upgrades on Broadway Street at the Town Centre Mall Entrance Report No.: OPS 16-12 Author: Jeff Molenhuis, P. Eng., Manager of Engineering Meeting Type: REGULAR COUNCIL Council Date: MARCH 14, 2016 Attachments: NONE RECOMMENDATION THAT Council receive Report OPS 16-12 Pedestrian Crossing Accessibility Upgrades on Broadway Street at the Town Centre Mall Entrance as information. BACKGROUND In September 2015, the Accessibility Advisory Committee passed a resolution to request that Town staff review audible pedestrian signals within the Town. The following resolution was passed: “THAT Council receives the Minutes of the Accessibility Advisory Committee Minutes of June 3, 2015 and September 09, 2015. AND THAT Council directs staff to investigate the costs of Audio Traffic Signals in the Town of Tillsonburg; AND THAT those costs be considered during the 2016 budget deliberations.” The 2016 Operations Capital Business Plan introduced an Accessibility for the Built Environment Upgrade Program that included audible pedestrian signals for strategic locations of the active transportation network, but the program was removed during the budgeting process. In its place Council requested that staff investigate and report on the installation of audible pedestrian signals at the mid-block pedestrian crossing on Broadway Street at the Town Centre Mall main entrance. This report outlines the accessibility regulations, accessibility design standards and a budget cost estimate for the site specific work required to ensure this mid-block crossing location meets current accessibility criteria including audible pedestrian signals. Page 1 / 4 73 SUMMARY The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) was passed in 2005 to achieve a fully accessible Ontario by 2025 through the development of accessibility standards. The Act applies to designated public sector, broader public sector and private sector corporations with a phased schedule of compliance requirements. From the AODA the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (IASR) O.Reg 191/11 was developed with the following six (6) parts: 1) General 2) Information and Communication Standards 3) Employment Standards 4) Transportation Standards 5) Design of Public Spaces Standards (Accessibility Standards for the Built Environment) 6) Compliance As of January 1, 2016 all designated public sector organizations, including municipalities are obligated to meet the requirements set out in all six (6) parts of the IASR. Design of Public Spaces Standards (Accessibility Standards for the Built Environment) Part 5) of the IASR outlines specific requirements for features of the physical environment that are intended to make it easier for people with disabilities to move through, use and enjoy public spaces. The standard for public spaces is further divided into seven (7) sections: 1) Recreational trails and beach access routes 2) Outdoor public use eating areas 3) Outdoor play spaces 4) Exterior paths of travel (sidewalks or walkways) and their associated elements 5) Accessible off-street and on-street parking spaces 6) Obtaining services (service counters, fixed queuing guides and waiting areas) 7) Maintenance planning The IASR does not require organizations to retrofit existing public spaces to meet the requirements of the AODA, but does require organizations to incorporate Accessibility Standards for the Built Environment when building new public spaces or when planning alterations to existing public spaces. Alterations to pedestrian crossings of the active transportation network are now required to comply with IASR Part 5) Design of Public Spaces Standards Section 4) Exterior Paths of Travel which outlines the requirements for sidewalks, ramps, rest areas, and accessible pedestrian signals as shown in Figure 1. The design standards include the following specifications: Page 2 / 4 74 Sidewalk and Curb Ramps • Low slope curb ramps for easier navigation • Flared curb ramps for positional awareness • Tactile walking surface indicators for positional awareness Accessible Pedestrian Signals • Locator and walk indicator tone for positional awareness • Maximum installation height and distance from the curb for ease of access • Tactile directional arrows to indicate crossing location for easier navigation • Audible and vibro-tactile walk phase indication for easier navigation Pedestrian Crossing Accessibility Upgrades on Broadway Street at Town Centre Mall The scope of work and associated cost estimate to upgrade this mid-block pedestrian crossing to current accessibility standards is summarized below. Item Estimated Cost Underground Infrastructure $0 Accessible Sidewalk and Curb Ramps $8,500 Accessible Pedestrian Signal Heads $7,500 Accessible Button Pole – West Side Only $1,750 Controls/Electrical Integration $3,500 Contingency $2,500 TOTAL $23,750 COMMUNICATION/CONSULTATION The Ontario Provincial Standards, Director of Operations, Manager of Engineering, Operations Technologists and an electrical/controls contractor were all consulted to help investigate existing conditions and develop the accessibility upgrade scope of work. COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN IMPACT Accessibility improvements are supported within the Community Strategic Plan under Goal 3.3 Support the aging population and an active senior citizenship and Goal 4.3 Improve mobility and promote environmentally sustainable living. FUNDING SOURCE/FINANCIAL IMPACT There is currently no funding source in the 2016 approved budget to complete the accessibility upgrade scope of work outlined in this report.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The existing tree By-Law (#3135) is outdated and required revising to be current and relevant. An updated By-Law has been developed and is being brought to Council for approval. BACKGROUND In 2015 the Heritage, Beautification & Cemetery (HBC) Committee began to review the Tree By-Law and determined it was outdated and it did not contain sections dealing with types of recommended trees for various applications and the inclusion of invasive species. With the assistance of the Deputy Clerk, the HBC Committee obtained numerous other municipalities’ Tree By-Laws/guidelines and began to evaluate the content. After multiple drafts and consultation with Parks staff as well as the Long Point Regional Conservation Authority, the attached By-Law was finalized. At their meeting of March 2, 2016, the Committee passed the following resolution recommending the draft be presented to Council for adoption: Moved By: S. Saelens Seconded By: J. Wilkinson THAT the Tree By-Law including Appendix A and B be approved with the necessary typographical corrections as noted. FURTHER RESOLVED THAT C. Hill is requested to take the proposed By-Law to Council for approval. Carried CONSULTATION/COMMUNICATION • Numerous other municipalities’ Tree guidelines were reviewed to achieve best practices. • Consultation with Tillsonburg Parks staff and Long Point Regional Conservation Authority was conducted.

Refer to the approved by-law and consult with County or municipal staff to determine charges that apply to specific development proposals. The by- laws are available in full at the Customer Service Centre in the County of Oxford Administrative Building during regular business hours (weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.). They are also available on the County website at: http://www.oxfordcounty.ca/BusinessinOxford/PlanningandDev elopment/Development/DevelopmentCharges.aspx In addition to the County Development Charges, most area municipalities in Oxford County also have Development Charges by-laws. Refer to the Building Department of the area municipality or follow the website link above to the summary tables for information regarding the municipal Development Charges where provided. 94 Purpose of Development Charges Development Charges are used to finance capital works required for new housing and non-residential development. The county-wide by-law applies to most new residential and some forms of non-residential development on lands within the boundaries of Oxford County. Development Charges generated from the county-wide charge go toward growth- related costs associated with general government, roads, administration building, land ambulance and library services. The water and wastewater by-laws apply specifically to development of lands within a geographic area defined in each by-law that generally corresponds to the service area named in the title. Development Charges generated from these by-laws go toward growth-related costs associated with the provision of water and wastewater infrastructure. All County Development Charge by-laws were passed under the authority of the Development Charges Act, (1997) on June 25, 2014. Schedule of Charges The County schedule of Development Charges is summarized in the following tables. For area municipal charges, please refer to the appropriate municipal by-law. The schedule sets out the charges that are applicable to residential development by unit type: single and semi-detached dwelling units; apartments; and other multiples. Charges applicable to non-residential development are levied per square metre of gross floor area. To determine the total County charge, add the county-wide charges to the applicable area-specific charges for water and wastewater. For areas not serviced by municipal sewer and water services, only the county-wide charge applies. The County Development Charges will be indexed on April 1st of each year in accordance with the annual change in the Statistics Canada Construction Price Index.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Council requested staff report back on the cost for removal of the second large tree at Gibson House. In addition, information is provided regarding the planned harvest at the Trottier Woodlot. BACKGROUND Gibson House trees Council requested that staff obtain a price for the contractor to remove the tree beside Gibson House at the same time as the one behind Gibson House is removed. The additional cost has been established at $2,500 plus HST. At this time, the 2nd tree is not scheduled for removal. Trottier Woodlot LPRCA staff marked the woodlot, identifying a significant amount of standing dead and dying stems which pose a safety risk to users of the woodlot. Warning signage has been placed in various places within the woodlot. Harvesting the marked stems will markedly reduce the hazard level as well as remove the dead and diseased stems making way for a healthier forest in the future. A tender for harvest has been issued with a closing date of March 18. The Tender requires that the work be completed before March 31, 2016. LPRCA staff will assist in the evaluation of the submissions. Once the harvest is completed, a fuelwood tender will be issued for the smaller diameter material. A public information session was held on March 2 to allow interested members of the public to ask questions of LPRCA staff and Town staff. There were 20 members of the public in attendance. RCP 16-06 - Planned Tree Removals - Upda 1/2 96 CONSULTATION/COMMUNICATION LPRCA field services have been involved in the development of a management prescription for the Trottier Woodlot. HBC Advisory Committee members have been involved in evaluating the prescription and also of the trees at Annandale House. FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE The planned tree removals will consume most of the $15,000 allocation in the 2016 budget. Adding the 2nd tree at Gibson House will exhaust the allocation. The objective of the tendered harvest is to achieve the required management activity at no net cost to the Town due to revenue from the sale of the wood. Until the tender closes, final impact cannot be determined.
