Debenture Application to Infrastructure Ontario
In 2014 Council authorized the purchase of a ten year debenture through Infrastructure Ontario. At that time Infrastructure Ontario requested additional financial information.
I have provided to them the Hemson Water and Sewer Rate Study and a 5 year cash flow forecast based on the Hemson report and Council's commitment to increase reserves. I believe this information will satisfy their concerns. I am requesting from Infrastructure Ontario that the debenture be in place before the end of 2015.
Suggested Motion:
THAT Council receive this memo as information.
Respectfully Submitted,
Marga~m, CPA, CMA Manager of Corporate ServiceslTreasurer

ORGANIZATIONAL SERVICE REVIEW
SUGGESTED MOTION:
THAT Staff Report AD-05-15 regarding the Township of Ramara Organizational Review be received; AND THAT Council authorize up to an additional $6,0000. for the Organizational Review as deemed necessary by the Chief Administrative Officer.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On June 29, 2015 the Township Council authorized entering into a contract with John Whitesell to conduct an Organizational Service Review.
It has been twelve years since the last formal organizational review was conducted by a consultant.
The main goal of the study was to review all positions within the Township and their purpose and efficiency in carrying out the duties of the corporation. The overall picture of the Township was carried out which included council and staff interviews and two public meetings.
In speaking with John Whitesell, staff participation in the process was invaluable, very forthcoming and useful. The public meetings were productive as well for the most part.
Mr. Whitesell has spent more time than originally anticipated to be needed to conduct the interviews. In order to get the overall picture of the operations of the municipality, Mr. Whitesell was required to interview council, and staff. Unfortunately, some of the persons to be interviewed were either not present or available at the time of the group interviews. As such, he has been required to spend more time researching and compiling data than anticipated.
It has turned out to be more complicated than originally anticipated both by staff and the consultant. Mr. Whitesell has had to allocate more time to the review than had been anticipated in order to produce an accurate, succinct review and action plan for council implementation.
Mr. Whitesell anticipates an additional four days to complete the report which represents approximately $6,000.00.
AL TERNATIVES:
Advise Mr. Whitesell that no additional funds are being allocated and to present his recommendations as they now stand.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
At total of $25,000.00 was allocated for this review. Mr. Whitesell quoted a price of $22,317.50 inclusive of HST to conduct the review. Subsequently, he offered a 5% reduction to us for payment upon receipt of invoices.
The additional $6,000.00 will result in an over budget amount of $600.00.
STRATEGIC ISSUES:
Under Municipal Services we aim to provide our stakeholders with cost effective services and programs consistent with the community's financial resources, priorities and best interests.
Committee should be advised of the following public meetings and events being held in the near future. Please advise residents as well as any members of boards and committees you currently attend.
1. October 29th - 7:00 pm - Accessibility Public Meeting in Council Chambers 2. October 29th - 7:00 pm - Parks & Rec Open House (immediately following Accessibility) 3. November 26th - Annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner - at Brechin Legion- invitations

Committee of the Whole ES01 -15 Monday, October 19th
, 2015 Treatment upgrades - Parklane Cresent
SUGGESTED MOTION:
THAT the reservoir portion of the capital project be removed from the tender for pre purchase.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
COUNCIL has approved in the 2015 budget; a Capital upgrade to the Parklane water treatment plant to improve water quality, service and energy efficiency. The pre purchase of the reservoir will be cost efficient, purchased directly from the single source supplier (Greatario). The Construction and commissioning will insure water service to the residences without interruption during construction.
AL TERNATIVES:
Tender the upgrades as a complete package.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
THE Budget for this project is $210,000.00 (dollars). The reservoir portion for pre purchase would be $84,700.00 (dollars) excluding HST; reducing the Tender amount to $125,300.00 (dollars).
STRATEGIC ISSUES:
PRE purchase of the Reservoir will be cost effective and improve customer service.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
THAT council approve the pre purchase of the Reservoir directly from Greatario.

Committee of the Whole ES 02-15 October 19th
, 2015 Harrington Water Main Extension
SUGGESTED MOTION:
THAT the Harrington water service be extended to service up to five (5) properties.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
REQUEST was made to extend the water service supplying Municipal water to the Harrington residence at (2428) Con. Rd. 3; West approximately 600 meters to service up to five (5) properties. This proposal has been reviewed and supported by our Consulting Engineers by C.C. Tatham and Assoc.
AL TERNATIVES:
NONE
FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
ALL costs for this project will be the responsibility of the parties requesting the service extension.
STRATEGIC ISSUES:
GROUND water availability in the south end of the Township is at a premium. The addition, of up to five (5) services connections will bring revenue into the water system and provide needed water to the interested parties, with no adverse effects to the water system.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
THAT we proceed with an agreement to supply water to the interested parties.

Bylaw amendments for Bayshore Village.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
THAT we receive Report CD 13-15
AND THAT an Amendment to the Fence Bylaw 2012 .90 not be considered for the Township of Ramara.
AND THAT an Amendment to the Zoning Bylaw to permit Outdoor Storage and Parking in Bayshore Village not be considered for the Township of Ramara.
AND THAT the Property Standards Bylaw be amended to restrict the size of a stack of firewood to one Bush Cord piled neatly outside the residence.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
As a result of a deputation from a Representative of The Bayshore Village Association , Council has asked for a Staff Report regarding fences, outside storage regarding vehicles and outside storage regarding construction materials. The representative provided a brief history of Bayshore Village and an outline of the Protective Covenants and Restrictions in place for the past 40 years . These Covenants are due to expire on December 31, 2015. The Association would like to see some of these restrictions continued with a view of maintaining the charm and character of the Village. They recognize that not all their bylaws can be continued because of changes to the Planning Act and the Building Code Act. Their efforts have been focused on three specific areas of concern for Bayshore Village only. The Association has provided an example of suggested wording for amendments to the Ramara Township Bylaws, which they feel would meet their needs.
FENCES:
The Ba'yshore Village Association has asked that there be no fences of any type including hedges on any lot, however, privacy screens are permitted if they contribute to the character of the area.
The Township of Ramara currently has enacted a Fence Bylaw (2012.90) which permits
fences anywhere in the Township, with some restrictions on height and composition. This Bylaw serves us well, however, the word 'fence' is not defined.
The Line Fences Act is a Provincial Statute which regulates boundary fences in the Province of Ontario. It provides for Fence Viewers to arbitrate any disputes arising from the cost of installing and maintaining fences on the Property Line between two neighbours only. It does not apply to fences otherwise on a single property where there is only one owner. Section 3 of the Ad states that if one property owner wants a fence on the property line, then it can be constructed and maintained. The Fence Viewers will determine if the other property owner is liable fo costs and to what amount, even if he doesn't want the fence. Ramara Township has appointed Fence Viewers and they have been deployed on occasion. The word 'fence' is not defined in the Act.
Generally speaking; in law, if a word is not defined in the Act or Law, then a Dictionary definition is used. This keeps lawyers employed arguing over words and their meaning. Duhaime's Law Dictionary includes a definition from English Law, which states; "Although fences are frequently used to mark the situation of boundaries, nonetheless they are primarily guards against intrusion, or barriers to prevent persons or animals from straying out, and therefore in this sense the term includes not only hedges, banks and walls, but also ditches."
Asearch of Ontario Bylaws prohibiting fences produced negative results. No one else in the Province has tried to prohibit fences.
The term Privacy Screen is problematic. What is the difference between a privacy screen and a fence? They appear to be the same thing used for different purposes. How could we determine if they contribute to the character of the area? A very firm definition would be required to enforce this.
Alternatives:
Council could restrict the height of fences including hedges in Bayshore Village. The Bylaw currently permits closed fences to a maximum 1.9 metres and open fences to 3.1 metres. Although these restrictions seem to work well for the rest of the Township, Bayshore Village could have a site specific lower height to maintain sight lines. Property owners could appeal to Council for an exemption if they required a higher fence. An amendment to the Fence Bylaw would be required. The term fence should be defined if hedges are to be included, but it should be noted that there are already numerous hedges existent in Bayshore Village. Some are quite high. Why were they permitted before under the covenants? Would they be exempt?
FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
If Council was to implement an outright ban on fences and hedges, it would not likely survive a Court challenge. It would be a waste of finances trying to defend it. If someone wants a fence, the Provincial Legislation provides that they can have one. Ultimately, it will be up to the individual citizens to determine would kind of neighbourhood they want to live in.
STRATEGIC ISSUES:
42 of 62
To protect the lives, well being and property of our citizens with comprehensive and efficient protective, emergency and health related services for the betterment of the community. Good fences have a place in promoting good neighbourhoods.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the suggested motion concerning fences be adopted as presented.
OUTSIDE STORAGE OF VEHICLES:
The Bayshore Village Association has asked that no boat, boat trailer, watercraft, RV, house trailer, 'camping trailer, utility trailer, mobile home, ATV, bus, commercial truck, tractor, front end loader or other construction type equipment or similar items shall be stored in the open on any lot or parked on any driveway in such a manner to be visible from the surrounding properties or from Lake Simcoe, or Barnstable Bay, except for purposes of home construction or repairs, loading, unloading or in the performance of temporary work such as snow removal, grass cutting or similar activities except as noted below.
Ramara Zoning Bylaw 2005.85 Section 15.(7) Special Provisions SR-6 was amended on August 30, 2010 to include the following; 'Notwithstanding the parking provisions of this Bylaw to the contrary, outdoor storing of any recreational vehicles, boats and trailers are not permitted on any lot zoned as "SR".' A Zoning Bylaw amendment would be required to add ATV's. I
No inoperative vehicles shall be stored or parked in the open on any lot.
Ramara Property Standards Bylaw 2005.65 Section 5.6 prohibits the parking or storing of inoperative vehicles on any property in the Township. No action is required to meet th is req uest.
No Commercial Vehicle with a gross weight greater than 3,000 kg may be parked on any lot other than during home construction or while making a delivery or pickup and while loading and unloading.
Ramara Zoning Bylaw 2005.85 Section 3.(5) currently permits a maximum of two commercial motor vehicles greater than 3,000 kg to be parked or stored in any residential zone. There was a prolonged debate over this section when the new Zoning Bylaw was enacted in 2005. The previous Zoning Bylaws prohibited the parking of Commercial Vehicles on private property. Many communities especially didn't want school buses. There was no amendment to the Zoning Bylaw to restrict or prohibit commercial vehicle parking.
Snowmobiles shall not be parked or stored in the open on any lot between April 15 and November 15 in any year in such a manner as to be visible from surrounding properties or from Lake Simcoe or Barnstable Bay.
Snowmobile parking and storing is not currently regulated in Ramara Township. An 43 of 62
amendment to the Zoning Bylaw would be required to prohibit outdoor storage. The phrase 'in such a manner as to be visible from surrounding properties or from Lake Simcoe or Barnstable Bay.' should not be used. It suggests that if nobody can see it, then it is permitted. 'Outdoor Storage' denotes a clear meaning which is defined in the Zoning Bylaw as; accessory storage or display of goods and materials outside of a principal or main building or structure on the lot.
Storage of docks and small boatlifts are permitted to be stored as close as possible to the rear of the main dwelling, not within 10 feet of the lot lines, so as not to detract from or obstruct the view of the neighbours.
Ramara Zoning Bylaw 2005.85 Section 2.(1) 12 deals with the location of docks and similar structures. They cannot be closer than 2.0 metres from the lot line. The Bylaw does not address the storage of these items on a lot. The phrase 'so as not to detract from or obstruct the view of the neighbours' should not be used. This puts the onus on the neighbour to determine if the storage is in violation of the Bylaw. An amendment to the Zoning Bylaw would address the dock and boat lift storage concerns.
Canoes, Kayaks, Personal Water Craft, Paddle and Small Boats can be stored on the shoreline, 10 feet away from the lot line or on the property in an unobtrusive way or on a dock or a boat lift during the period May 15 to October 15.
This request contradicts the first item where the Association is requesting no boats, watercraft or similar items be stored in the open. The Zoning Bylaw currently prohibits outdoor storing of any Recreational Vehicles, boats and trailers in Bayshore Village. A Zoning Bylaw amendment would be required to allow boats to be stored on the shoreline. A boat stored in the water at a dock or boat lift would normally be exempt from the Zoning Bylaw as jurisdiction does not extend past the waters edge. The Zoning Bylaw defines boats as watercraft greater than 4.9 metres in length used or capable of being used as a means of motorized transportation on water for recreational purposes, including overnight accommodation. Watercraft less than 4.9 metres are not regulated and can therefore be stored on the lot. SMALL BOATS would have to be defined; perhaps as watercraft less than 4.9 metres; with an amendment to the Zoning Bylaw.
Canoes, Kayaks, Personal Water Craft, Paddle and Small Boats cannot be stored in the open on any lot, but may be stored on the property so as to not be readily noticeable from the surrounding properties or from Lake Simcoe or Barnstable Bay from October 16 to May 14.
The Zoning Bylaw currently prohibits outdoor storing of any Recreational Vehicles, boats and trailers in Bayshore Village. It's unclear as to how a boat could be stored on the property to not be noticeable from the surrounding properties unless it is stored inside. The Zoning Bylaw does not address inside storage. There should be no need to change the current zoning to satisfy this request. The phrase 'but may be stored on the property so as to not be readily noticeable from the surrounding properties or from Lake Simcoe or Barnstable Bay.' should not be used. SMALL BOATS needs to be defined and then prohibited during the winter.

Exceptions to the above are noted:
RV's, Mobile Homes and other Campers
*April 15 to May 15 and September 15 to October 15 - may be stored on any lot for a maximum of 5 days in both of the time periods for a total maximum stay of 10 days.
'*May 16 to September 14 - may be stored on any lot for a maximum of 15 days during the time period with anyone stay not to exceed 5 days.
Box, utility and other small trailers
*April 1 to October 31 - May be stored on any lot for a maximum of 15 days during the time period with anyone stay not to exceed 5 days.
Boats and other Watercraft
"April 1 to October 31 - May be stored on any lot for a maximum stay of 15 days during the period with anyone stay not to exceed 5 days.
The Zoning Bylaw currently prohibits outdoor storing of any Recreational Vehicles, boats and trailers in Bayshore Village. An amendment would be required. The suggested time constraints would be difficult to monitor and impossible to enforce. It would be easier to restrict the parking to a calendar date, rather than a running count of days. For example; parking could be permitted during the months of May and September only. If an item is parked other than these dates, it would be a simple matter to enforce and convict. This request contradicts the request to permit storage of boats on the shoreline. It is unclear what the Association is asking for. The Zoning Bylaw currently contains two definitions for the word trailer. Section 5 Definitions; "Trailer" 'means any portable unit so constructed as to be suitable for attachment to a motor vehicle for the purpose of being drawn or propelled by the motor vehicle; and which is capable of being used for temporary living, sleeping, or eating accommodations, but not occupied continuously or as a principal residence. It may include travel trailers, tents, tent trailers, motor homes, camper pick-ups, camper vans. It does not include a park model trailer. The second definition of trailer is found in Section 3.(6) (a) For purposes of subsection 3.(6), a trailer, other than a recreational vehicle or a motor vehicle, means a vehicle on wheels capable of being drawn by a motor vehicle and is used for carrying or storing materials, goods, objects, recreational vehicles or boats, whether the trailer is enclosed or unenclosed, and that is greater than 4.9 metres in ·Iength, and does not include farm equipment on an operating farm. Five years ago, the Bayshore Village Association wanted NO outside storage of recreational vehicles on any residential lot. That request resulted in the amendment to "SR-6" prohibiting outdoor storing in Bayshore Village only. Parking is permitted to a maximum period of six consecutive months. The difference between parking and storing is not defined in the Bylaw.
ALTERNATIVES:
In regards to Outdoor Storage of Vehicles in Bayshore Village, an amendment to the Zoning
45 of 62
Bylaw would be required to satisfy most of the requests of the Association. A Public Meeting is a statutory requirement as part of the Planning process during a Zoning Bylaw amendment. Any amendments would be subject to appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
A Public Meeting would be required to amend the Zoning Bylaw at substantial cost. Once the Bylaw has been amended, there could be the additional ongoing financial burden of enforcement costs, dependent on the number of complaints received. The Township has no control over the number of complaints generated and the ensuing enforcement costs. These expenses would be borne by the entire Township to enforce a relatively small portion of the overall population. An Appeal to the OMB is a likely scenario to any amendment proposed to the Zoning Bylaw. This would add a further expense to the Township.
STRATEGIC ISSUES:
To protect the lives, well being and property of our citizens with comprehensive and efficient protective, emergency and health related services for the betterment of the community.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the recommended motion concerning Outdoor Storage be adopted as presented.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL, FIREWOOD, GARBAGE AND TRASH
No firewood, lumber, metals, garbage, bulk materials, refuse or trash or similar items shall be kept, stored or allowed to accumulate in the open on any lot, except during the course of construction of any approved structure. At all other times such material shall be stored in such a manner so that they cannot be seen from adjacent and surrounding properties and as close to the dwelling as possible.
The Property Standards Bylaw effectively deals with debris which includes garbage, discarded building materials, used vehicle parts and other forms of waste. Trash and refuse are not defined, but should be reasonably expected to be included in the debris definition. The storage of firewood has been accepted throughout the Township. It is not regulated. Other Municipalities have regulated outdoor storage of firewood in their Property Standards Bylaw. An amendment would be required permitting firewood to be stored in a neat pile outside close to the residence. It is unreasonable to expect a stack not to be seen from adjacent and surrounding properties, however, the effect could be minimized by restricting the size of the pile to 1 bush cord. 4' X 4' X 8'. Inside storage would not be impacted.
ALTERNATIVES:
No alternatives are proposed.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION: 46 of 62
Once the Property Standards Bylaw has been amended, there should be no additional financial burden other than normal ongoing enforcement costs. As with any enforcement initiative, costs are variable and difficult to predict.
STRATEGIC ISSUES:
To protect the lives, well being and property of our citizens with comprehensive and efficient protective, emergency and health related services for the betterment of the community.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the recommended motion concerning Storage of Firewood be adopted as presented.

THAT a streetlight be installed at the intersection of McArthur Sideroad and Fairgrounds Road, and;
THAT the Stop sign size be increased to 75 cm X 75 cm (3~'' X 3~'').
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
The resident at the corner of McArthur Sideroad and Fairgrounds Road has reported three separate accidents resulting in vehicles running the Stop sign on McArthur Sideroad, crossing Fairgrounds Road and ending up on their property. He requested a guard rail be installed to protect his property from vehicles running the Stop sign southbound on McArthur Sideroad.
A guard rail will create a hazard to those motorists that miss the Stop sign and does not protect through traffic from being hit on Fairgrounds Road. As a proactive step, it is recommended illuminating the intersection and increasing the size of the Stop sign as a first measure before considering a guard rail.
Streetlights are allocated each year in the annual budget and do have ongoing maintenance costs.
The cost of a larger Stop sign is approximately $100.00, including installation.
The cost of the guard rail is expected to meet or exceed the cost of the streetlight and Stop sign.
STRATEGIC ISSUES
Two Strategic Issues apply in this situation: Through Municipal Services to provide services in the best interests of the community in a cost effective manner, and through Safety and Security in protecting the lives, wellbeing and property of our citizens.
These measures are recommended to improve the safety of the intersection for both residents and motorists.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
That the Suggested Motion be adopted.

TOWNSHIP OF RAMARA Proud History - Progressive Future
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
REPORT NO.: WD-29-15
DATE: OCTOBER 19, 2015
SUBJECT: 159 BAYSHORE DRIVE - SUMP PUMP DISCHARGE
SUGGESTED MOTION
THAT the owner of 159 Bayshore be required to remove the sump pump line from the roadside ditch in compliance with Township Bylaw 2005.65.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
The owner of 159 Bayshore Drive (Con 6 Plan M41 Lot 197) has submitted a site plan appiication. Upon review it was noted that it shows a sump pump discharge line directly into the roadside ditch in contravention of Bylaw 2005.65, Minimum Property Maintenance and Occupancy Standards Bylaw, paragraph 6.6 "Piped stormwater and pumped discharge water shall not be discharged directly into or within 5 meters of a municipal road ditch."
The site plan and building permit were issued with the removal as a requirement.
Staff met on site with the property owner, neighbor and a board member of the association. Staff were advised of the following:
• At times the sump pump at 159 pumps 200 gallons of water per hour, • The line into the ditch is a joint discharge pipe with the property at 157, • The discharge line runs down the side yard property line, • There is an electrical box and bell pedestal located in the road allowance at the side
yard property line • The golf course is located behind the property, • The golf course has a drainage problem, • The sump pump line was installed prior to the 2004 bylaw.
Our records show the house was built in 1980 and the current owner is the fifth owner and purchased it in 2013. The 1989 "as built" lot grading plan shows the lot having split drainage with everything from the front line of the house going to the back and the front yard going to the road side ditch.
Our customer care tracking system shows that the current owner submitted a complaint November 18, 2013 that ditching was required. At that time he was advised to remove his sump pump line from the ditch.
There are a number of reasons why sump pump lines should not discharge directly into the roadside ditch including the following:
• Pumped water into the ditch causes erosion/damage to the ditch which in turn causes ponding of water and complaints from residents,
• Pumped water during cold weather causes frozen culverts which in turn requires staff to respond and steam the culverts, at a cost to the taxpayers,
• Pumped water during cold weather causes culverts to heave, • Pumped water during heavy rain and or snow melt increases flow which may in turn
exceed ditch capacity, • The existence of snow or water in the ditch may impede the flow of the sump pump
line causing it to back up and freeze the line or flood at the sump pump, • The existence of water in the ditch has the potential of syphoning back to the sump
pump and flood.
Staff have not had an opportunity to meet Hydro One and Bell on-site to determine what restrictions they may have regarding the removal and/or relocation of the sump pump line. At the very least underground locates will be required.
As this is not a gravity fed line the pipe does not have to be below ground to function but is buried for esthetic reasons. The five meter set back from a roadside ditch is the minimum distance and the line could be set back farther. Overland discharge gives flow a chance to disperse and seep into the ground. Direct piping does not.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Council may waive the by-law and allow the sump pump discharge line to stay in the ditch.
If this alternative is taken the owner should be required to waive any future liability claims for damage sustained as a result and be held responsible for the cost to steam any culvert downstream which freezes, the cost of replacing his own culvert including repaving the apron and any repair needed to the roadside ditch including the repair of ponding and erosion.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
All works to be at the owner's expense.

STRATEGIC ISSUES
Under Municipal Services we aim to provide our stakeholders with cost effective services and programs consistent with the community's financial resources, priorities and best interests.
By-laws are in place for the benefit of all residents; in this case to minimize damages and costs both to public and private property.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
That the owner be required to remove the sump pump line from the ditch.
