(REDAC) Re: 2008/2009 Report Card Mr. Harris was unable to attend this evening. Ms. LeDrew provided Council with the

2008/2009 Report Card, which can be accessed on REDAC’s website at www.cityfree.ca. She provided a brief background on the Regional Economic Development Committee (REDAC) and updated Council on the activities of the sub committees of REDAC: Workforce and Housing, Construction/Education Centre, Infrastructure, Communications and Land Inventory.

5.2 Pat Poole, Rankin Lake Road, Seguin Township Re: Parry Sound unstaffed and unopened train station waiting room(s). Ms. Poole stated that she travels on the train quite a bit. There use to be an attendant to

unlock the train station located at the Chamber of Commerce and make the waiting areas available for passengers however, that is no longer the case. After December 2008 the schedule changed and the train now drops off and picks up passengers in the middle of the night at both the Chamber of Commerce Station and the Station Gallery and there is no access to either station. There is no attendant, the stations are closed so there is no access to shelter, washrooms or a telephone. You are also not allowed to park overnight at any of the stations should you wish the comfort of your car while you are waiting for a train. She feels that Council should be concerned with the lack of access to the stations.

Ms. Poole provided Council with a hand out of three suggestions she has: Allow departing passengers to leave cars at the CP Station Gallery after pre-arranging this

with the Town. Put a timer on the door lock at the CP Station Gallery which allow access to shelter and

washrooms. Hire an attendant. The Station Gallery once received a grant for this position. The

attendant is able to contact VIA to determine whether or not the station needs to be opened.

Mayor Adams thanked Ms. Poole for her suggestions and said that staff will review her

concerns and will respond.

Mr. Hunter will be scheduling public info meetings over the summer then will be drafting the revisions to the OP.

SECONDED BY COUNCILLOR KEITH That we do now adjourn the regular meeting and declare the public meeting open..

CARRIED 2.1.1 Council held a public meeting to consider a Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment under

Section 34 of the Planning Act, as amended. After the Acting Mayor adjourned the regular meeting and declared the public meeting open, the CAO advised that notice of the proposed zoning by-law amendment had been given by prepaid first class mail to the property owners within 120 metres of the subject property. A notice was posted on the property and a notice was posted on the Town’s website.

Mr. Laing advised that the proposed Zoning By-Law amendment would rezone part of Lots 26 and 27, Concession 2 and the original shore road allowance in front thereof,


-2- geographic Township of McDougall, now in the Town of Parry Sound, more particularly described as Part 3, Plan 42R-17916, on Louisa Street, in the Town of Parry Sound, from a “Rural (RU)”zone and an “Environmental Protection (EP)” zone, to a “Special Provision (SP)” zone. The proposed “Special Provision” zone would allow all uses permitted in the “Rural” zone with a reduced frontage requirement of 58 metres. The effect of the proposed Zoning By-Law amendment is to allow for the creation of three new residential lots each having 58 metres of frontage. The Acting Mayor invited those in favour of this proposed amendment to address Council. Mr. Paul Reid, owner of the property with his wife Julie, addressed Council and spoke in favour of the Zoning Amendment. He and his wife purchased the land with the intent to provide for their children who plan to move here. They are trying to beautify the lot and would like to make it into three lots for each of their children. The Acting Mayor invited those opposed to this proposed by-law to address Council. No one spoke in opposition.

Mr. Laing advised that he had received one piece of correspondence from Nicole Murphy and David Kingshott who wrote to express their opposition to the amendment. They purchased their 4 acres property at 104 Louisa Street because the adjacent lot was zoned rural and environmentally protected, with the potential in the future for only one home being built on the lot. They feel the construction of 3 homes would be disruptive and would destroy the green space.

The Acting Mayor advised that Council may at its discretion approve the zoning by-law amendment. If they should do this then notice of passage of the by-law would be provided by circulation of such notice or by advertising in the local newspaper. Any objections to the proposed zoning by-law must be received by the Clerk within 20 days of the date that notice was given. Any objections would be forwarded to the Ontario Municipal Board. The Mayor further advised that if an appeal is submitted and the appellant has not provided Council with an oral or written submission before the passing of the by-law, then the Ontario Municipal Board may choose to dismiss the appeal.

CARRIED

2.1.1 Council will hold a public meeting to consider a proposed Zoning By-law amendment


-2-

under Section 34 of the Planning Act. After the Mayor adjourned the regular meeting and declared the public meeting open, the CAO advised that notice of the proposed zoning by-law amendment had been given by prepaid, first-class mail to the property owners within 120 metres of the subject property. A notice was posted on the property and a notice was added to the Town’s website.

Mr. Laing advised that the proposed Zoning By-law amendment would rezone part of Lot 20, Concession “A” formerly in the Township of McDougall now in the Town of Parry Sound being more particularly described as part of Part 1, Plan 42R-6093, part of Parcel J, Plan 137 and part of the closed Isabella Street road allowance, known locally as that vacant property to the east of the Smelter Wharf (Salt Dock), from a “General Industrial (M2)” zone, to a “Special Provision Holding (Sph)” zone. The Special Provision Holding zone proposed would allow apartment (condominium) development to a maximum density of 50 units per hectare and a maximum height of 16.5 metres subject to the removal of the holding provision. The holding provision would prohibit development until conditions as identified by the Official Plan were satisfied. The effect of the proposed Zoning By-Law amendment is to allow for the development of three four storey apartment (condominium) dwellings once the holding symbol is removed. The Mayor invited those in favour of this proposed amendment to address Council. John Jackson representing John Jacklin and Doug Gray, Granite Harbour Development, spoke in favour of the amendment. Granite Harbour Development has undertaken due diligence with respect to the project. No costs have been incurred by the municipality, the developer has undertook preliminary engineering, the design will respect the natural features of the property and all provincial protocols have been followed. The Mayor invited those opposed to the proposed Zoning By-law amendment to address Council. Dave Miles, member of the Board of the Beaconview Heights Condominium Corporation came forward. Mr. Miles indicated that while they were not in direct opposition to the zoning amendment the concerns of the Beaconview Heights Condominium Board are the heights of the building, increased traffic on salt dock road and whether or not the developers have considered the Endangered Species Act. The Massassauga Rattler and the Eastern Fox Snakes are on that list and the development may be detrimental to their environment. Mr. Miles has asked that their Board be kept informed of the progress of this proposal. Mr. Laing advised that he had received no correspondence in regard to this matter.

3.2 Questions to Staff Mr. Sheridan responded to Councillor Keith’s question regarding Free Dump Day. It is May 29th, 2010. Items not accepted are tires, shingles, gypsum and other items not accepted at McFarlane Street Transfer Station any other time. The public is asked not to bring in Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) on May 29th. HHW can be brought to the Transfer Station, free of charge, any time the Transfer Station is open. With the increase in use at McFarlane on the 29th we ask the public to only bring items for disposal/recycling. This will assist staff in keeping the traffic flowing smoothly and will reduce wait times. Mr. Sheridan responded to Councillor Keith’s question regarding the steps on Church Street that are crumbling by informing Mayor and Council that he will be bringing three prices for work to fix the steps on Church Street to the next meeting of Council. 4. CORRESPONDENCE None. 5. DEPUTATIONS 5.1 Neil Whetham, Treasurer, Parry Sound Hockey Club Non-Resident User Fees for Bobby Orr Community Centre/Ice Rates Mr. Whetham provided a background on the Parry Sound Hockey Club. The hockey club

is supportive of Council rescinding the resolution regarding user fees for out of town youth. They are supportive of the simplification of the ice rental fee structure to a single youth rate. However, they are asking Council to implement at 20% increase in the fees rather than a 25% increase. This would help the club to more effectively manage the 5% cost increase due to the implementation of the HST this year. The club objects, in principal, to the refunding of monies to local registered players. The club considers this suggestion divisive in nature and possibly discriminatory and hopes that Council will reconsider implementing this notion.

3.2 Questions to Staff

Councillor McCauley asked Mr. Sheridan when the bicycle stands will be installed. Mr. Sheridan said that the James Gibson Mary project will see new furniture set up including 4 bike stands within the next short while. The Mayor asked, for the public’s information, when the trees on the main street would be planted? Mr. Sheridan hopes tomorrow or Thursday depending if the weather co-operates. If the weather does not co-operate they will be planted within the next week to 10 days. Councillor van der Valk wanted to know if the trees being planted were home grown and if not is there a plan to accommodate that? Mr. Sheridan responded that the trees to be planted were purchased and grown north of Highway #7. Unfortunately he can’t find a grower any further north of Highway #7 that has trees suitable for our area. As a rule Operations plants 25 trees around the town annually per our budget practice. The James Gibson Mary project will have 45-50 trees planted. It would be great to grow trees here but we lack the right technical staff, the right equipment to tend, care and harvest the trees and right piece of ground to grow them.

2. PUBLIC MEETING


-2- 2.1 MOVED BY COUNCILLOR MCGARVEY

SECONDED BY COUNCILLOR KEITH That we do now adjourn the regular meeting and declare the public meeting open.

CARRIED 2.1.1 Council held a public meeting to consider a Proposed Zoning By-law

Amendment under Sections 34 of the Planning Act, as amended. After the Mayor adjourned the regular meeting and declared the public meeting open, the CAO advised that notice of the proposed zoning by-law amendment had been given by prepaid first class mail to the property owners within 120 metres of the subject property. A notice was posted on the property and a notice was added to the Town’s website

Mr. Este advised that the first proposed Zoning By-Law amendment would rezone part of Lot 13, west side of James Street, south of Seguin Street and part of Lots 14 and 15, west side of Bay Street, Registered Plan No. 2, designated as Part 1 Plan 42R-12755, known locally as 44 Bay Street, in the town of Parry sound, from a “Residential Second Density (R2)” zone, to a “Tourist commercial (C4)” zone. The effect of the proposed Zoning By-law amendment is to allow the conversion of part of the existing dwelling to a gift shop. The Mayor invited those in favour of this proposed amendment to address Council. No one spoke in favour of the amendment.

The Mayor invited those opposed to this proposed by-law to address Council. No one spoke in opposition.

. Mr. Este advised that he had received one (1) piece of correspondence from Robert Parr, 7 Gibson Street advising that the parking and entrance off of Gibson Street to the back of 44 Bay Street is for the purpose of unloading vehicles only. It does not allow any space for parking as there is insufficient land owned by the property owner.

2.1.2 The second proposed Zoning By-law amendment, under Section 34 of the

Planning Act was brought forward. The CAO advised that notice of the proposed zoning by-law amendment had been given by prepaid first class mail to the property owners within 120 metres of the subject property. A notice was posted on the property and a notice was added to the Town’s website.

Mr. Este advised that the second proposed Zoning By-law amendment would

rezone part of Lot 25, Concession 2, geographic Township of McDougall, now in the Town of Parry Sound, District of Parry Sound, designated as Parts 2 and 3, Plan 42R-10005, known locally as 150 Louisa Street, from a “General Industrial (M2)” zone, to a “Special Provision (SP)” zone. The proposed “Special Provision” zone will allow all uses in the “Restricted Industrial (M1)” zone and heavy vehicle repair, construction/contractor’s yard, welding shop and owner operator haulage contractor. The effect of the proposed Zoning By-law amendment is to reduce the scope of industrial uses available to the property.

The Mayor invited those in favour of this proposed amendment to address Council. No one spoke in favour of the amendment.

The Mayor invited those opposed to this proposed by-law to address Council. Russell Rutherford, owner of 150 Louisa Street, read his letter to Council indicating that he doesn’t agree with the zoning amendment. He purchased the property to operate his business because of the current zoning. He feels the Stanleys have been very hard to please at times regarding changes to their


-3-

former property. He feels the property value would depreciate with this change in zoning.

. Mr. Este advised that he had received one (1) piece of correspondence from

Simon, Fran and Madeleine Stanley advising they are in favour of the rezoning as it will protect their residential neighbourhood.

The Mayor advised that Council may at its discretion approve the above zoning by-law amendments. If so, it must either circulate notice of passing of the By-laws or give notice in the local press. Objections to the passing of the By-laws, will be received by the Clerk within 20 days from the date such notices are given, which objections will be forwarded to the Ontario Municipal Board. If an appeal is submitted and the appellant has not provided Council with an oral or written submission before the passing of the by-laws, the Ontario Municipal board may choose to dismiss the appeal.

2.2 MOVED BY COUNCILLOR MCCAULEY SECONDED BY COUNCILLOR BORNEMAN That we do declare the public meeting closed and the regular meeting reconvened.

CARRIED 3. MINUTES and MATTERS ARISING FROM MINUTES 3.1 Adoption of Minutes MOVED BY COUNCILLOR VAN DER VALK SECONDED BY COUNCILLOR MCCAULEY

THAT June 15th, 2010 Regular Council Meeting Minutes be approved as circulated. CARRIED


Councillor Keith had a concern about the street corners of James and Seguin as the concrete edge is relatively high. Mr. Sheridan says this is normal. He allowed that they can make them more visible but there would be a cost involved. Councillor Keith asked that this issue be added to to-night’s agenda.

Councillor Keith wanted to know why there was only one garbage receptacle near the Leather Cave. Mr. Sheridan replied that there are two receptacles near the IDA store and there will be one more installed across the Leather Cave at the parkette with a street bench.

Councillor McGarvey asked about the status of the steps of the three properties on Church Street. Mr. Sheridan informed Council that there will be an R & R for the July 20th Council meeting addressing the issue.

The Mayor asked Mr. Sheridan why the street benches purchased are so much smaller than the ones the Town currently has. He has received some complaints from some elderly people who are a little intimidated by having to sit too close to someone who they feel vulnerable to. They feel somewhat at a disadvantage. Why was this size purchased? Mr. Sheridan responded that this allowed the purchase of more benches to distribute in the downtown area.

The Mayor noticed that the grass at Sylvan Acres Cemetery is starting to turn brown again. Has there been any consideration of putting in a well to water grass in that area? Mr. Sheridan responded that the staff run water when they go out to the cemetery but they are not out there every day and that’s why is starting to turn brown.


-4-

The Mayor noticed that at the Bobby Orr Community Centre, near the building where new asphalt has been laid, there is a group of trees leaning over the BOCC and they are interfering with the brick. Are there any plans to open up the trees utilizing Parry Sound Power? Mr. Sheridan replied that he would contact Parry Sound Power to determine the cost to so.

Councillor McCauley asked Mr. Este for an update on the municipal office renovations. Mr. Este informed Council that there was a crane in to-day to take corrective action to the roof that wasn’t properly installed. He estimates that this will take at least 2 weeks. Then the contractor can start the inside work.

Councillor McCauley made note that the windows have been removed for some time. When are the new windows expected to be installed? Mr. Este was unsure of the time frame. Councillor McCauley asked Mr. Este to find out and let Council know.

Councillor Borneman asked Mr. Este if the Town is now in possession of the engineered drawings for the municipal office renovation. Mr. Este stated that presumably the architects, engineers and contractors are working in tandem.

Councillor van Der Valk asked who was responsible for the mistake in the roof on the Municipal Building. Mr. Este said it was difficult to say at this point however it is unlikely that there will be a cost to the Town for the corrective work.

on the merits of ensuring 41 Church Street maintains its designation as a heritage home. The home meets all of the criteria. Ms. Fisher says the Municipal Heritage Committee is recommending the acceptance of the Conservation Review Board’s Report and hopes that her report to-night will preempt Council’s intended direction, in Item 9.4 on tonight’s agenda, to request the Municipal Heritage Committee to review the heritage attributes of 41Church Street and report back to Council

designation removed from their home. They have had trouble getting insurance

for their home and they think it will be even more difficult in the future. They feel that the designation devalues their home as potential buyers do not want to take on the restrictions of purchasing a heritage home. As well when they had their home originally designated they were told it would be a simple matter to have the designation removed if they wanted to do so. Ms. Stein asked Council to consider the wishes of the property owners and requests that they repeal By-law 94-3705 to remove the heritage designation on their home at 41 Church Street.

We are asking that residents and businesses prepare for emergency situations like power outages, to >UNPLUG@ by reducing their electricity consumption and reduce their phantom use; and Whereas Phantom Power is electricity used by home electronics and appliances even when they are shut off. Phantom Power is a major, wasteful drain on our electricity supply, most Ontarians are not aware of what it is or what it costs us. Natural Resources Canada estimates that phantom power consumes as much as 15 percent of a household’s annual use of electricity; and

Whereas if all municipalities in the Province of Ontario were to achieve a 4% reduction, Ontario would collectively reduce the provincial demand by 845 MegaWatts and 17,000 MegaWatt-hours, or the equivalent of powering 680,000 homes for a day; Be it resolved that the Town of Parry Sound Council extends a friendly challenge to all residents and businesses to participate in a Power Pledge Event. Register your commitment at www.powerpledge.ca . ABE PREPARED@ AND AGET ACTIVE@ UNPLUG on August 11, 2010 - the Power Pledge Event.

At the Mayor’s request Mr. Mens updated everyone on the train whistle issue. After contacting the rail road companies the Town was informed that the Town is obligated to address safety concerns and obligations from both Railway companies should trains whistles not be sounded while going through Town. Each of the four crossings would require fencing on both sides and the length would need to be determined. The Town would have to finance, pay for and


-2-

install such fencing at all crossings for both railways. This would amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, the first step would be to conduct a study. There is an item on to-night’s agenda regarding the Forest Street crossing however, it will not address the elimination of train whistles at that crossing.

Artists Round the Sound are requesting Council’s participation in One % for Art, a program where government sets aside 1% of municipal capital expenditures towards enhancing and expanding public experience to the visual arts.

Based on their discussion, Mr. Woolner says they are pleased to see the new waterfront investment and they welcome him as a cooperative neighbour. (Forwarded to Director of Community Development for Follow-Up)

5. DEPUTATIONS 5.1 Richard McPhee, Richard McPhee & Company Limited Re: Development of boathouse near Sail Parry Sound, Georgian Bay Mr. McPhee introduced himself to Council. He stated that he currently has an

application into the MNR to build a boathouse near the Sail Parry Sound site. He indicated that he had met with Sail Parry Sound representatives to discuss his plans and felt that there was good discussion and interaction. Councillor Van der Valk asked if the building’s height had been scaled down at all. Mr. McPhee answered not as yet. Councillor Borneman asked if there would be any restrictions to access by the public to Sail Parry Sound. Mr. McPhee said there would be no restrictions.

5.2 Tammy Purdy, MLEO Re: Feral Cat Volunteer Pilot Program. Ms. Purdy provided a power point presentation and outlined the new program. 5.3 John Scarr Re: Train Whistle Noise Issue Mr. Scarr says that it is the railroad’s responsibility to fence their property at

crossings. It is not the responsibility of the Town. He bases his information on his years of working for a railroad company. Mr. Scarr said that he was involved with many railroad actions and a whistle didn’t have any preventive effect. He feels strongly that the Town should be doing something about the train whistle problem.

Mr. Scarr thanked Council for all their good work. 5.4 John Jackson and John Jacklin. Re: Granite Harbour Development Mr. Jackson addressed item 10.4.1, the removal of the holding designation from

the property to be developed at the Salt Dock. All conditions have been met except the Letter of Credit and they expect to have that to the Town by the end of this week. They are committed to the project. Mr. Jackson thanked staff for all their assistance in keeping this project on track.

5.6 Joe Bossart, Redwood Avenue Re: Train Whistle and Train Breaking Noise Mr. Bossart spoke about the issue of loud train whistles as well but he indicated

squealing train wheels going around corners is even noisier and is sometimes almost unbearable. He believes this to be an even bigger noise problem than the train whistles. He plans to do a sound level study within the next year and promises to bring it to Council’s attention.

Mr. Mens indicated that he wasn’t aware of any discussions but that he would follow up on that suggestion.

4. CORRESPONDENCE 4.1 Robert Drummond Re: By-law 2004-4681

Complaint of neighbour continually depositing leaves and snow on Mr. Drummond’s property. Requesting that an amendment be made to By-law #2004-468, a by-law to Prohibit Refuse on Property, to change “Definition F” to include snow. (Forwarded to MLEO Tammy Purdy for follow-up) Mayor Adams mentioned that there is a letter coming to Council which is his notice that he is resigning his position as representative on the Belvedere Heights Board effective November 30th, 2010.

5. DEPUTATIONS 5.1. John Cochrane, Chair Belvedere Heights Board of Management Donna Dellio, CEO, Belvedere Heights

Mr. Cochrane and Ms. Dellio wanted to discuss Section 24 of the Development Agreement for the Belvedere Heights parkette. Currently the section says: The Developer recognizes and confirms that the development proposed for the said lands is a public park. The Developer agrees to allow public access to the development and not to restrict such access unless for reasons of property maintenance or alternation where public safety cannot be guaranteed or for abuse of any reasonable rules established for the use of the development, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit the Developer’s authority to regulate public access to and use of the said lands (including but not limited to hours of operation and permitted activities) to the same extent that the Municipality itself has the authority to regulate with respect to parks under the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, c.25, as amended.

Mr. Cochrane said that their legal Council does not recommend accepting the Town’s position on this clause as it is not fair or reasonable for Belvedere Heights to have to assume all of the liabilities and burdens associated with owning a public park to which members of the public have access, but without the same safeguards and precautionary measures that the Town has the right to use when regulating a public park. Ms. Dellio indicated that there have already been some issues with young people in the area and perhaps a change in phrase will allow Belvedere Heights to deal with that if the park is the same status as the other parks in town. Mayor Adams thanked Mr. Cochrane and Ms. Dellio for their comments and indicated that there would be further discussion by Council later on in the agenda when this subject under Item 10.4.1 comes up for discussion.
