Motion submitted by Councillor Bray:


WHEREAS The Council of the Town of Wasaga Beach has a responsibility to care for the Health and Safety of its residents. The Council of the Town of Wasaga Beach also has the same responsibility concerning those who visit our Community; AND WHEREAS The Town of Wasaga Beach has extremely diverse housing needs, as identified during public consultation conducted in 2012 and 2013; AND WHEREAS in depth consultations, research and analysis has already been completed by our previous Council, staff, citizens and working groups. Much of that research is available for immediate review on the Towns Website under the heading "Housing Strategy". Some of that research will only need updating, but the ground work has been completed allowing us to proceed with limited costs; AND WHEREAS the Housing Strategy discussed in 2013 has already been implemented to some degree through Zoning Amendments and Bylaw changes made by the previous Council. These changes only began dealing with the "Accessory Unit" aspect of the strategy and much important work is still outstanding; AND WHEREAS many residents have recently raised serious concerns in regards to their living conditions or those of their neighbours. These concerns have been shared using emails, social media comments and even the sharing of photographs that led to the Town launching internal investigations and sharing the concerns with Provincial Agencies; AND WHEREAS many of the issues that surround living conditions are only seen behind closed doors, we are a community that relies on tourism as a primary contributor to our economy. Many properties have concerns that can be identified without even leaving the road. These issues will continue to negatively impact tourism; AND WHEREAS we as a Council recognize that this is a very diverse community issue that requires immediate definitive action; AND WHEREAS this Council selects the issues they plan on addressing once a year when establishing the Budget and selecting which "Council Initiatives" will get resources allotted to them. These initiatives are moved forward by the will of the majority of our Council. This Council has chosen in the past to leave the Housing Strategy also known as a Tourist Accommodation Review in the "Unfinished Business" section of our agenda's; AND WHEREAS this Council is presently making extensive decisions that will affect the future housing decisions made by developers and accommodation providers; BE IT RESOLVED that the Council of the Town of Wasaga Beach immediately form a committee to make recommendations to this Council regarding the future Housing Strategy. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee make recommendations within four months of their first meeting in regards to but not limited to the following five areas of concern;

1) Regulations regarding; Modification of Tourist Accommodation premises into permanent residential tenancies.


2) Regulations regarding; Use of Tourist Accommodation premises during some months and using the same units for permanent residencies during the off season.

3) Regulations regarding; Property Standards. 4) Possible improvements to Accessory Dwelling Units regulations. 5) Possible incentives that can be utilized to improve the inventory of Housing options

in Wasaga Beach; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that an invitation be immediately placed in the newspaper to solicit committee involvement. That the basic composition of the committee include the following;

1) Department heads from By-Law, Planning and Public Works. The Town Clerk and CAO should also sit on this committee to expedite the process.

DEPUTATIONS, PRESENTATIONS, PETITIONS & PUBLIC MEETINGS Public Meetings:

a) County of Simcoe Affordable Housing Proposal at 175 Zoo Park Road:

File Numbers OP03/17 and Z14/17. Notice of Public Meeting was published in the Wasaga Sun Newspaper on November 2, 2017 and circulated to all agencies, service providers, school boards, and abutting municipalities as prescribed in the Planning Act. This provided 20 days of notice for the public meeting and this meeting is therefore properly constituted as required by the Planning Act. THE LAND SUBJECT TO THE OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND PROPOSED ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT is lands located on the east side of Zoo Park Road and north of Wally Drive. The legal description of the parcel is Part Lot 25, Concession 9. The purpose of the re-designation and re-zoning is to accommodate a proposed residential building. THE PURPOSE OF THE OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT would be to re-designate the subject land from “Tourism Commercial” to “High Density Residential”. THE EFFECT of the proposed Official Plan Amendment would facilitate residential use and permit a density of up to 56 units per/hectare. THE PURPOSE OF THE ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT would be to re-zone the subject parcel from “Development (D)” Zone & “Environmental Protection (EP)” Zone to the Residential Type 4 Exception Zone (R4-XX). THE EFFECT of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment would permit a four story residential building with a maximum building height of 13.5 meters, provide a parking space rate of 0.95 parking spaces per unit and omit the required privacy yard.

As a result of the circulation of the Notice of Public Meeting the following written comments were received: Letters of Support: None Letters of No objection: Enbridge Gas Distribution and Hydro One, NVCA have

advised they have no objection to the application.

Regular Council Minutes– November 28, 2017 Pg. 3 of 17 Letters of Concern: Simcoe County District School Board Letters of Objection: None Mayor Smith asked Mr. Apanisile if staff have received any further letters or correspondence in regard to this application. Mr. Apanisile advised there were none. Ms. Menzies and Mr. Brad Spiewak of MHBC made a brief presentation and provided further details with respect to the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-Law amendments. Mayor Smith asked if there was anyone present that would like to provide input either in support of, or in opposition to, the proposed amendments; If so, to please stand and clearly state their name and address in order that it may be correctly entered into the records of today’s proceedings. Raven (Lynn) Brown - 165 River Road East

- I believe this is a well thought out and great idea. Fred Garvan – 61 Wally Drive

- I was told noise issues would be mitigated. The parties in this project advised they are here for us. The residents of Wally Drive realize this is a very needed project for citizens; unfortunately there will potentially be a four-story building only 51feet from my fence line.

- I have an issue with the fencing as privacy is our main concern. The trees are nice but they will take years to grow; we don’t understand why we have lost 3 feet from the 11 foot initial fence. We would like the 11 feet back or a separate structure where we won’t see each other. Our priority is sight lines and privacy.

- I appreciate what was heard tonight and the changes they’ve made since the Public Meeting and trying to make residents happy, but I don’t think it’s too much to ask to give back the 3ft on the fencing.

Mayor Smith asked if there were any further question from the public; there were none. Mayor Smith asked members of Council if they have any questions or comments with regards to the proposed amendments. Councillor Belanger noted the initiatives taken in the Community Garden and noted maybe there should be thought to provide fruit trees in the concept. Councillor Belanger noted he has been approached by residents who are interested in becoming residents of the new building and who should he be forwarding these inquires to. Mr. Spiewak responded to Councillor Belanger’s questions advising fruit trees are in the area of this project and any inquiries regarding housing can be found on the simcoe.ca website under Community and Social Services; also the Town of Wasaga Beach staff has this information as well. Councillor Smith commented that this project is good news and a top priority of Age-Friendly Community Advisory Committee. Councillor Smith advised that some seniors have been told there are over 500 people on the wait list now and there is concern they may have to be included on this wait list. Mr. Spiewak advised that the wait list being referred to is related to Social Housing which is different than Affordable Housing; there is currently no wait list for this building. When it the project is close to completion (6-9 months) we would let people know and we will release an advertisement and have applications received; this will be advertised in the local paper.

Regular Council Minutes– November 28, 2017 Pg. 4 of 17 Councillor Ego noted his excitement for this project and asked when we can expect completion of this project. Mr. Spiewak advised they would like to start in March 2018 and look for occupancy in the fall of 2019. Councillor Ego asked if any preference given to the residents of Wasaga Beach first. Mr. Spiewak advised they won’t be able to do that as funding is from the Federal and Provincial level and they can’t favour locals over anyone else, but they will be sure to advertise locally. Mayor Smith clarified with the presenters when the shadowing of this building would start. Mayor Smith advised that the first 3-4 homes on Wally Drive at Zoo Park Road tend to be more susceptible to views into backyards, and is there any extra attention paid to these residents in regards to privacy? Ms. Menzies advised that these are the details we are looking at through Town staff. Mayor Smith noted in regards to the 18” berm, is there a chance to increase the size of the berm or height of the trees? Mr. Spiewak advised that yes they would be looking for trees that are 2-3 feet above the fence line and there is a good chance to work with residents to get back those 3 feet. Mayor Smith advised that comments received today will be considered and a decision will be made as to whether Council will recommend the proposed amendments proceed further through the approvals process. Mayor Smith noted that anyone receiving Notice of the Public Meeting will receive Notice of the Decision of Council in this matter. Mayor Smith further noted that if anyone did not receive the Notice and would like to receive a copy of the Notice of Decision for the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments, to please leave their name and address with the recording secretary or make a written request to the Clerk of the Town of Wasaga Beach.

Raven (Lynn) Brown – 165 River Road East

- Will you be addressing issue of no direct transit down River Road East between Stonebridge Boulevard and the bridge.

- Mr. Herron, Manager of Planning, will bring this comment to the Director of Public Works and from a planning point of view it is currently walkable to transit on Main Street and Stonebridge Boulevard.

Angelo Campagnolo – 28 Laidlaw Street

- I am in front of this building and the front of it is very close to the sidewalk and road. It is a high building and it will put me in the shadow of everything; I won’t see any daylight.

- 50 units with 50 different owners – think of the problems that will be here. - Car parking for 57 vehicles? What about visitors? It will be a mess here. - The Town should follow the rules and regulations like I had to follow when I built.

Mayor Smith asked if there were any further question from the public; there were none. Mayor Smith asked members of Council if they have any questions or comments with regards to the proposed amendments. Councillor Smith asked for clarification on the size

Regular Council Minutes– November 28, 2017 Pg. 6 of 17 of the previous hotel located here. Mayor Smith advised that there was a two-story structure at that time. Councillor Smith noted her concern about the condo rules in regards to renting out to the public for rentals (short-term accommodation) and that the Condo Board needs to be clear in their rules that units are not to be used for Tourist Accommodations. Councillor Smith also noted that the Town is looking for high density in the downtown area and with this building it’s a start and fits in well with what she sees on Main Street. Councillor Bray noted the seasonal shadow slides from the previous presentation and that it would be nice to see it on this property as well. Councillor Bray noted her concern regarding parking and that it was being worked on. Mr. Naylor advised that he has done a shadow study but doesn’t have the slides tonight but will be happy to circulate to Council. Mr. Naylor noted the shadow impacts are largely to the north and apply to the property itself and that the building is designed to have as little of a shadow as possible. Mayor Smith advised that comments received today will be considered and a decision will be made as to whether Council will recommend the proposed amendments proceed further through the approvals process. Mayor Smith noted that anyone receiving Notice of the Public Meeting will receive Notice of the Decision of Council in this matter.

Building a stronger Ontario is a priority, that's why the province is tripling the Ontario Community lnfrastructureFund (OCIF) to $300 million by 2019, to help rural municipalities build and upgrade their roads, bridges, andwater systems.

The OCIF formula funding is designed to recognize that small rural and northern communities have differentinfrastructure needs and economic conditions.

The province has used the best available data in thecalculation of the grant allocations, as detailed in the attached notice. The difference between your community's2019 and 2020 grants reflects changes in the value of your core infrastructure and/or economic conditionsrelative to other eligible communities.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to request a proclamation from the Town of Wasaga Beach the week of February 1st to February 7th 2018 as

Eating Disorder Awareness Week (EDAW). EDAW has been commemorated across Canada since 1988 by established

eating disorder organizations, education and public health institutions, and concerned members of the public. It draws

attention to the causes, prevalence and impact of eating disorders.

Eating disorders are the number one cause of death among all psychiatric illnesses and are the third most common cause of

death in teenage girls. In fact, 5-8% of Canadian girls will experience an eating disorder in their lifetime. However, eating

disorders can develop in anyone, regardless of age, ethno-racial background, socioeconomic status, gender or ability.

Unfortunately, stigma and secrecy still surround eating disorders, causing many people who are suffering to refrain from

seeking help, and to struggle in silence.

We know that through open, supportive dialogue, we can help break the shame and silence that affect nearly 1 million

Canadians that are living with a diagnosed eating disorder and the millions of others who are struggling with unhealthy

food and weight preoccupation. EDAW is a time to increase awareness about eating disorders, their impact and to shed

light on the dangerous and pervasive myths that surround them. It is a time of year when Canadians can learn more about

eating disorders and about the resources that are available for individuals and family members who are impacted by them.

The National Eating Disorder Information Centre (NEDIC) was a founding member of the international drive to institute

EDAW. Founded in 1985, NEDIC is Canada’s oldest national organization dedicated to helping those with eating

disorders. We provide education and information as well as support and referral for those with eating disorders, their

families, friends and health care professionals. Since our toll-free helpline became available to Canadians from coast to

coast in 2013, we have spoken with thousands of individuals, parents, friends, and teachers who are seeking help and information. It is through our outreach and education efforts, that we are able to support these individuals in their struggle

to find hope and healing.

Municipal recognition of EDAW would help to affirm the experiences of those with a friend, family member, or important

person in their life who is dealing with this life-threatening mental illness, and draw attention to the need for eating disorder

prevention, research, treatment, and resources. Attached please find the goals of Eating Disorder Awareness Week 2018.

Please proclaim EDAW in The Town of Wasaga Beach and help raise awareness and hope among the many who are

impacted by this illness.

For more information about Eating Disorder Awareness Week and this request, please contact me.

Thank You.

Kind Regards,

Alicia Pinelli

Outreach and Education Team Member

1. Proposed 2018 Consolidated List of Fees & Charges (includes Water and

Mayor Smith asked if there were any questions from members of Committee. Councillor Belanger referred to a gap cost in Capital from last year and what the projected Capital would be. Councillor Belanger noted that a few residents indicated they feel this is a tax grab, but water is something we take for granted unless something goes wrong and this is a critical area where we should be diligent about reserves. Councillor Bray commented on the Animal Control section and noted that she followed up with the Sr. Municipal Law Enforcement Officer about licensing fees and that the reflected proposed increase was an error as the license fees are not actually increasing rather the department is incorporating fees for people that licence past the due date.

“An opportunity wherein persons in attendance at the Special Meeting of Committee of the Whole of Council have an opportunity to raise questions pertaining to the public meeting portion of the Agenda.”

Robert Bortlisz – 28 62nd Street South

- Phased-in MPAC assessment shows the Town should be getting 8% in revenues over last year. Can you clarify this as I don’t see it in the presentation?

- The Director of Finance and Treasurer, Jocelyn Lee, advised that the assessment is looked at every four years and phased in over a four year time period and currently the assessment from 2015 is now being phased in and the Town is in year two; not up to current rates you see today.

- Mr. Bortlisz- The overall increases in tax revenue to the Town should be 8%. - Mrs. Lee advised that the numbers here are provided from MPAC’s assessment

value - Mayor Smith indicated there is a 2 year lag time and in 2019 we will be using 2017

assessment. - The CAO noted that the figures provided by MPAC are an average and individual

properties may go up or down as there are variances. The CAO suggested that perhaps Mr. Bortlisz meet with the Treasurer to discuss this matter further.

- Mr. Bortlisz noted that the mill rate has been same for 20 years in the annexed portion (45th Street to Fairgrounds Road) of town and no new parks or playgrounds are in this area. Is this being addressed?

- The Director of Public Works, Kevin Lalonde, advised that there are no scheduled additions at this time. This would be considered through a town wide parks need assessment. The Director noted that there are other areas of Town in a similar situation.

- Mr. Bortlisz noted there is a budget crunch in the Public Works Department with respect to drainage of culverts and their restoration and can Public Works get more money to address this issue?

- Mr. Lalonde noted that the department has identified drainage as a priority for day labour work.

Morley Bercovitch – Knox Road East

- $2.5 million for a Hub; is this going to be tendered? - The Director, Recreation, Events & Facilities, Chris Roos, advised that the money is

slated to be used for design fees and to procure a design firm and there will be a tender process involved.

- Mr. Bercovitch noted we are starting to funds from the rate stabilization reserve fund for instead of raising taxes.


- Mrs. Lee advised that yes the Town uses reserve as part of the normal budget process.

- Mr. Bercovitch touched on the debenture cost for the Beachfront and noted that $114,000 is coming from taxes and he is not happy paying that. Mr. Bercovitch asked where the other 50% is coming from?

- Mrs. Lee advised the plan was that we will use the reserve funds initially, then in year four 50% from reserves and 50% from taxation and then in year five, 100% from taxation.

- Mr. Bercovitch asked if there is a business plan for this or do we pay taxes forever? - Mrs. Lee noted there was a five year plan put in place when the property was

purchased and we are following that plan at this time and the payments will continue until the properties are sold or an alternative is planned.

- The CAO noted this item is on the list of Unfinished Business as needing a development of a business plan and early in the New Year staff can look at addressing this and developing a plan reflective of what Council wants for the Beachfront.

- Mayor Smith noted that the Town got control of the properties so that we (Town) can move forward and make something happen; we have seen improvements.

- Mr. Bercovitch noted in regards to events that he heard at the Beachfront Management Board Committee one member say in the Blue Mountains they don’t finance any events at the Village as it’s done internally. I like this idea except for Canada Day and the Fireworks, but the rest of it, in my opinion, doesn’t do anything for the tax payer. Foam Fest is subsidized by the Town and I question that because they bring in around $300,000 so why do we have to subsidize the event, why aren’t they paying?

- The Communications and Special Projects Coordinator, Jenny Legget, advised that staff make arrangements with event organizers. Eventually we will get to the point where the hosting fee is reduced. The Town receives a portion of each registration back which reduces the hosting fee.

Deputy Mayor Bifolchi called the Public Works Section of the Coordinated meeting to order at 8:48 a.m. She declared a disclosure of pecuniary interest with respect to item 4.4.2 Departmental Accounts for November 2017, cheque #21962 for $378.55, as it pertains to a family member, but will vote on all other matters.

4. Public Works Section 4.1 Deputation, Petitions, Presentations and Public Meetings i) Ms. Tammy Kalimootoo from Ainley Group is in attendance to present the 2017 Transportation Study Update, for information.

Deputy Mayor Bifolchi welcomed Ms. Tammy Kalimootoo to the meeting. Mr. Lalonde provided a brief overview and introduced Ms. Kalimootoo. Ms. Kalimootoo thanked Committee for allowing her to conduct her presentation on the 2017 Transportation Study Update. She stated a copy of her presentation has been appended to the Agenda. She then spoke to some of the work completed over the last few months. She stated the study was updated in 2006 and again in 2012, with finalized reports being issued in 2007 and 2013. Ms. Kalimootoo stated the traffic counting program was established to obtain comparable data and traffic counts were taken at similar locations, as well as, new locations to provide additional data. She mentioned that this type of study provides a general broad overview of the traffic conditions, within the Town, for planning purposes. Specific traffic impacts, from site developments, will need to be reviewed individually as part of the development review process.

Public Works Section of Coordinated Committee – December 14, 2017

2 of 5

She indicated that as far as the traffic volumes for the update, a total of 31 road sections automatic traffic recorder counts were taken on three weekdays in June, including the July long weekend, beginning Friday, June 30th to July 3rd, 2017. In addition, 16 manual intersection turning movement counts were taken, at various locations, during the periods from 7:00 to 10:00 a.m. and from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 28th and Thursday, June 29th, 2017. She outlined that the counts taken in early June have been considered as representative of the average traffic conditions, while counts taken over the long weekend have been considered as summer peak traffic volumes. She stated the traffic count data was further summarized and compared to the 2012 data to determine specific road section volumes and growth. She then explained the AADT, which is the annual average daily traffic is in a range from 2.47% to 10.15%. The weighted average growth in traffic volumes was 3.06% per year which she mentioned is typical. Ms. Kalimootoo then reviewed the development information. She stated information was obtained from the Town in July 2017, and from the Sewer/Water Capacity Study, and current and future developments within the Town were identified. She mentioned that currently it is estimated that there are approximately 7099 residential units in various stages of development. She noted that the timing of developments coming on line and generating traffic was assessed for 2017-2022, as well as, 2022-2027. She stated it is expected that more future developments have been considered in this study update than in the 2012 update, as the developments currently under construction were assumed to reach 75% build out, in the 5-year period, with the remaining 25% built in the 10-year horizon. Ms. Kalimootoo stated the traffic growth within the Town consists of a general increase in traffic throughout the region and the impact generated by new local development, noting that a general average increase in traffic volumes has been determined as being approximately 3.06% per year. She pointed out that one intersection, at Sunnidale Road and Knox Road, warrants a left turn lane. However, in general, all other intersections are working well. She then outlined the traffic impacts and recommended improvements. She identified the road sections which anticipated to exceed their lane capacity during the indicated time period and are recommended for further review to determine widening requirements from three to four lanes; Mosley Street; Beachwood Road-45th Street, River Road West; Veterans Way to Main Street, River Road West; Zoo Park Road to Bell’s Park Road. She noted that these sections have been identified in the Town’s 10 year Capital Works Forecast. Ms. Kalimootoo then spoke to a couple of items to consider, such as the application of round-a-bouts, as traffic volumes can be accommodated by roundabouts at all signalized intersections within the next 10 years. She recommended they would have to be looked at, on a case by case basis, taking into account utilities, distances allotted and side streets. She further suggested accommodation of bike lanes. She stated it is identified in the Town’s 2008 Active Transportation Plan that on-road bike lanes, as well as, sidewalks are required on the Town’s major roads. She stated bike lanes and sidewalks can be accommodated within the existing right-of-way on two-lane or three-lane roads. However, to accommodate both, additional right-of-way may be required for four-lane roads. Therefore, the feasibility of converting an existing four-lane road to a three-lane cross-section was reviewed. She suggested there is the potential to do that, but recommended looking at this as well, on a case by case basis. She pointed out that any change in roadway capacity may trigger the need for a Class Environmental Assessment.


3 of 5

Ms. Kalimootoo spoke to the Public Transportation. She stated the Town is currently undertaking a review of the existing transit system and will provide recommendations as it relates to, among other items, route optimization, levels of service, compliance with AODA and consideration for route expansion. The Study is slated to be completed in January 2018. She further mentioned that the Main Street/Downtown Development Area trip estimates and transportation impacts should be reviewed, as development details are brought forward and finalized in the future. Ms. Kalimootoo stated that completes her presentation and she then asked Committee if they have any questions. Councillor Bray spoke to the four lanes of traffic on River Road West. Mr. Lalonde stated the road is built to four lanes, but will be painted to three lanes and will include on-street bike lanes. He stated there are limitations within the cross section to accommodate off-road facilities. Following discussion, it was then; MOVED BY J. BELANGER SECONDED BY R. EGO RESOLUTION NO.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL STATEMENT PART A – The Preamble does not constitute part of this Amendment. PART B – The Amendment consisting of the following text and Schedule “A” constitutes Amendment No.48 to the Corporation of the Town of Wasaga Beach Official Plan. PART C – The Appendices attached hereto do not constitute part of this Amendment. These Appendices contain background data, planning considerations and public involvement associated with this Amendment.

PART A – THE PREAMBLE PURPOSE The purpose of this Amendment to the Official Plan of the Town of Wasaga Beach is to re-designate the subject site from the “Tourism Commercial” designation to the “High Density Residential” designation, in order to permit a residential development. LOCATION The subject site affected by this Amendment is municipally known as 175 Zoo Park Road and described as Part of Lot 25, Concession 9, in the Town of Wasaga Beach, County of Simcoe. The subject site is located adjacent to the Town of Wasaga Beach Public Works Yard to the north and east, along with wooded areas and wetlands. The southern and western areas adjacent to the site contain a variety of residential housing. The site encompasses an area of approximately 1.76 hectares and have frontage of approximately 93 metres along Zoo Park Road. BASIS The amendment is being considered as a result of an application for a residential development, along Zoo Park Road. The application was made on September 29, 2017. Currently, the subject site is designated “Tourism Commercial” in the Town of Wasaga Beach Official Plan. The amendment would re-designate the subject site to the “High Density Residential” designation. The proposal is to construct affordable rental accommodation by the Simcoe County Housing Corporation. The County of Simcoe has a 10-Year Affordable Housing and Homelessness Prevention Strategy in place to ensure adequate and appropriate affordable housing is available throughout the County. This strategy will also promote, provide and protect a range of housing options throughout the County. The County has identified as target of 110 affordable housing units to be implemented in Wasaga Beach within the 10-year strategy period. The building proposed for the subject site would be an apartment style structure hosting 99 affordable housing units. The development will also assist in the achievement of the identified target. The supporting documents and studies address general planning matters, transportation, servicing, stormwater management, natural heritage, soils, noise, geotechnical, archaeology, urban design and shadow studies, and include a site plan with full landscaping and detailed engineering. The Traffic Impact Study determined that the existing road network will continue to function appropriately with the subject site being developed, as will the

8

proposed entrance/exit on Zoo Park Road. No improvements are required to the existing road network as a result of the development. The subject site will be serviced by municipal water and sewage services. The Functional Servicing Brief has determined municipal water and sewage infrastructure currently exists adjacent to the subject site and there is sufficient capacity. The existing services can be continued onto and throughout the subject site. The Functional Servicing Brief also provides a conceptual stormwater management plan for the subject site, which is articulated in the Site Plan submission. An Environmental Noise Study was completed and concluded that appropriate mitigation can take place on the subject site to ensure that all aspects of the development meet applicable noise guidelines. With respect to shadows from the proposed development, the Shadow Impact Study concluded that there is an acceptable level of shadow impact from the proposed development relative to the adjacent residential lots to the south, Zoo Park Road to the west and the proposed Outdoor Amenity Area to the east of the building. These impacts are minimal to the site, the boulevard, and area residential lots and are considered acceptable. An Urban Design Brief was completed and reviewed the built form, massing and orientation, and concluded that the development adheres to the existing and emerging design direction of the Town. Overall the proposal represents good design that will enhance place making in the Town. Through the completion of a Geotechnical Investigation, it was determined that the subject site will require excavation, dewatering, and fill to support building foundations, paved areas and underground service requirements. The subject site is within 120 metres of a Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) which is located to the north of the site. The Scoped Environmental Impact Study (EIS) established the boundary of the PSW, which was confirmed by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF); impacts to the PSW are not anticipated. Three isolated wetland pockets were also found on the site; one is proposed to be removed in its entirety. Furthermore, features with limited potential to function as Habitat for Endangered and Threatened Species were also identified. The recommended measures outlined in the EIS will result in no anticipated negative impacts to the identified or potential features of conservation interest on the subject site or adjacent lands. A Phase 1 and 2 Archaeological Assessment was completed for the subject site determining that it does not contain any archaeological resources. The supporting documents are found in Appendix 4. A public meeting was held on November 28, 2017 under the statutory requirements of the Planning Act. The

9

public meeting minutes and the comments received are located in Appendices 2 and 3 respectively.

1. INTRODUCTION In 2001 the Ontarians with Disabilities Act (ODA) was enacted to improve opportunities for people with disabilities and to provide for their involvement in the identification, removal and prevention of barriers to their full participation in the life of the province. The ODA ensures that public organizations include accessibility planning into all areas operations and document it with an Accessibility Plan. The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) builds upon the ODA. The purpose of this Provincial legislation is to ensure the development, implementation and enforcement of accessibility standards in order to achieve accessibility for Ontarians with disabilities with respect to goods, services, facilities, accommodation, employment, buildings, structures and premises on or before January 1, 2025; and to provide for the involvement of persons with disabilities in the development of these accessibility standards. This Act applies to every person or organization in the public and private sectors. Regulations under the AODA will establish a series of accessibility standards that will lead Ontario to be fully accessible by 2025. Under the AODA, Ontario Regulation 191/11 – Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (IASR) was established and outlines that all municipalities have a legal obligation to prepare a Multi-Year Accessibility Plan, which is to be reviewed no less than once every five years. This document represents the 2018 – 2022 Multi-Year Accessibility Plan, as prepared by staff in consultation with the Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC). The Plan describes the measures the Town has taken to identify, remove and prevent barriers for people with disabilities, who use the programs, goods, facilities and services provided by the Town. Organizational Commitment The Town of Wasaga Beach is committed to increasing and enhancing accessibility to its programs, goods, services, and facilities. Commitments from Council, Town staff and the Accessibility Advisory Committee are leading the Town towards ensuring its programs, goods, services and infrastructure is accessible to all residents and visitors, regardless of ability. The goal is to incorporate accessibility as a part of everyday life and maintain it as a core element to Town services. The development and implementation of the Accessibility Plan advances and strengthens the Town’s commitment to make Wasaga Beach a more accessible community. The Town of Wasaga Beach, both as an employer and service provider, is committed to barrier free access and will:


1. Take a leadership role in achieving and setting an example to the business, institutional and volunteer sectors in terms of access and integration, employment equity, communications, recreation, transportation, housing, design of public spaces and education.

2. Identify barriers and gaps in existing programs, facilities and services. 3. Continually improve the level of accessibility of municipal facilities,

goods, programs and services. 4. Actively encourage input from all segments of the community in the

design, development and operation of new and renovated municipal facilities and services.

5. Ensure the provision of quality services to all members of the community with disabilities.

6. Provide resources and support to give effect to the Accessibility Plan. 7. Promote accessibility within the community.

The County of Simcoe is responsible for the delivery of the following services: • Ontario Works • Children and Community Services • Long Term Care and Seniors Services • Social Housing • Paramedic Services • Waste/Recycling Collection and Waste Management Facilities • Health Unit Services is offered by the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit As required under the AODA, the County of Simcoe will prepare its own Accessibility Plan covering those services delivered by the County. 3. ACCESSIBIITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (AAC) The AODA states that every municipality having a minimum population of 10,000 shall establish an Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) of which a majority of the members of the committee shall be persons with disabilities. The Town of Wasaga Beach has established an Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) with the objective of providing guidance and advice to the Municipal Council, to act as a liaison with other departments, agencies and individuals on physical, architectural, informational, communications, technological and attitudinal barriers, to develop policies or practices for consideration of Council, to participate in community events and to help the municipality achieve the social, cultural and economic objectives of Council as per legislation.


The AAC was formed in April 2003. It currently consists of eight (8) members from the community, the majority being persons with a disability(ies), one (1) member of Council and two (2) senior staff persons who are resources to the committee. The current Committee members for the term ending 2018 are named on Schedule “B”. The AAC’s main task is to monitor, review and advise Town Council on the status of municipally owned and/or operated buildings, facilities, goods, transportation, parks and recreation, programs and customer service, so that these areas accommodate the needs of persons with disabilities. The AAC ensures that the Accessibility Plan is inclusive of all departments. The AAC reviews, monitors, reports and acts as a resource to staff and to Council each year on the preparation, implementation and effectiveness of its accessibility plan. The AAC ensures the implementation of all accessibility policies, practices and procedures, including review under section 41 of the Planning Act, and that all legislative requirements are being met within respective departments. The AAC also acts as a steering committee for accessibility initiatives to identify, remove and prevent barriers to those individuals with disabilities in such areas as the design of public spaces, etc. 4. OBJECTIVES OF THE ACCESSIBILITY PLAN Beginning in 2012, the Town, under the authority of the IASR, moved from an annual Accessibility Plan to a Multi-Year Plan with annual status updates. Schedule “C” outlines the actions undertaken by the Town, its departments and the AAC during the last Accessibility Plan timeline (2013-2017), to achieve their priorities. In addition, Schedule “D” identifies future goals which will keep in compliance with the requirements under the IASR. Improving accessibility is a shared responsibility. The ODA and the AODA require that the provincial and municipal governments and key public sector organizations review their policies, programs and services through the development of a multi-year annual accessibility plan. The objectives of the Accessibility Plan are to: a) Review previous efforts to identify, remove and prevent barrier to people with disabilities (recent initiatives). b) Describe the process that the Town will use to identify, remove and prevent barriers to people with disabilities in the future. c) List the facilities, policies, procedures, practices, and services the Town will review in the coming year to identify barriers to people with disabilities. d) Identify the measures that the Town will take in the coming year to identify, remove, and prevent barriers to people with disabilities.


e) Identify the means in which the Town will make the Accessibility Plan available to the public. The creation and implementation of the Accessibility Plan is under the authority and approval of the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Wasaga Beach. 5. BARRIERS Barrier The intent of the Plan is to prevent, identify and remove barriers. Barriers are obstacles that stand in the way of people with disabilities from being able to do many of the day-to-day activities that people take for granted. A barrier is anything that prevents a person with a disability from fully participating in all aspects of society because of a disability. The traditional definition of a barrier used in the context of accessibility has been expanded to include obstacles beyond physical boundaries. There are several other categories of barriers to consider, such as: Environmental Barriers: Features, buildings or spaces that restrict or impede physical access. For example, a doorway that is too narrow to accommodate entry by person in a motorized scooter. Communication Barriers: Obstacles with processing, transmitting or interpreting information. For example, print on a brochure that is too small to read or documents not available in alternative formats. Attitudinal Barriers: Prejudgments or assumptions that directly or indirectly discriminate. For example, assuming that all visually impaired persons can read Braille. Technological Barriers: Occurs when technology cannot or is not modified to support various assistive devices and/or software. For example, a website that does not provide for increased text size or contrast options. Systemic Barriers: Barriers within an organization’s policies, practices and procedures that do not consider accessibility. For example, listing a driver’s license as an employment qualification for an office position may prohibit persons with visual impairments from applying. 6. INTEGRATED ACCESSIBILITY STANDARDS REGULATION (IASR) The Province released Ontario Regulation 191/11 - Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation- on June 3, 2011 regarding the accessibility standards of the Transportation, Information and Communication, Employment, Design of Public Spaces (including the built environment) and Customer Service


Standards. The requirements in the standards set out in this Regulation are not a replacement or a substitution for the requirements established under the Human Rights Code nor do the standards limit any obligations owed to persons with disabilities under any other legislation. This regulation applies to every designated public sector organization, which includes the Town of Wasaga Beach and to every other person or organization that provides goods, services or facilities to the public and that has at least one employee in Ontario. 6.1 Information and Communication The Information and Communication standard was designed to achieve equitable access to communication and information, to cover the broadest range of how people send and receive information, and facilitate communication. This standard requires the municipality to provide information in an accessible format upon request that takes into consideration the needs of the individual. Municipalities are also required to ensure that all new materials are produced in an accessible format including disseminated information and website content and that old documents can be made accessible based on the needs of the individual. 6.2 Employment The Employment standard focuses on policy, procedures and training requirements to identify and remove barriers in the workplace. This standard requires employers to have processes in place to determine an employee’s accommodation needs. This component also addresses key processes in the life cycle of a job such as recruitment, assessment, selection and retention. The Town’s Human Resources Department ensures all policies and practices reflect the requirements under the AODA and will continue to develop or update policies as necessary to continue compliance with this and other legislation. 6.3 Transportation The Transportation standard was developed to provide accessibility to public transportation including taxis and transit buses, and emergency procedures. The goal of this standard is to enable residents and visitors the opportunity to live, work and participate in the community. Specific requirements regarding all aspects of the experience of using transportation are addressed. Schedule “E” attached lists an overview of the Wasaga Beach Transit System. An annual public consultation meeting shall take place regarding public transportation including the proportion of on-demand accessible taxicabs and the construction or re-development of on-street parking spaces. The annual meeting


will be advertised in the local newspaper, on the Town’s website and through the Town’s corporate social media channels. 6.4 Design of Public Spaces (Built Environment) The Design of Public Spaces standard focuses on removing barriers in public spaces and buildings that are newly constructed or redeveloped. Technical requirements have been developed for recreational trails, beach access, outdoor public use seating areas, outdoor play spaces, exterior paths of travel, service counters, maintenance, parking, etc. Understanding a wide variety of barriers for persons with disabilities in the physical environment is essential to implementation of the standard. The Town will ensure that persons with disabilities, the Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) and the public shall be consulted when constructing new or redeveloping recreational trails, outdoor play spaces and the design and placement of rest areas along exterior paths of travel. An annual public consultation meeting shall take place with respect to an update from staff regarding upcoming development or redevelopment of public spaces. Staff will review the design standards that must be met and how they are meeting them. The annual meeting will be advertised in the local newspaper, on the Town’s website and through the Town’s corporate social media channels. The Town understands the importance of an accessibility built environment that allows for independence and participation for persons with disabilities. Public spaces will receive regular inspections and preventative maintenance to ensure that accessible elements are in proper working order. If an accessible element (ramp, tactile surface, elevator, etc.) becomes damaged and is unusable a service disruption notification will be placed on scene, on the Town’s website as well as social media accounts. Emergency maintenance will take place to ensure that the accessible element is restored to working order as soon as parts/labour can be obtained. In addition to the Design of Public Spaces Standard, the Ontario Building Code was amended in 2016 to include accessible requirements. The amended Building Code is used when issuing building permits and conducting building inspections. 6.5 Customer Service The Customer Service Standard ensures that people with disabilities receive access to goods, services and facilities in a manner that takes into account their disability. Accessible customer service means dignity, independence, integration and equal opportunity for all people. All Town staff is trained on the practices and procedures for accessible customer service, as outlined in the Town of Wasaga Beach Customer Service and


Integrated Accessibility Standards Reference Training Manual, including the following: • The use of assistive devices by persons with disabilities; • The use of service animals by persons with disabilities; • The use of support persons by persons with disabilities; • Notice of temporary disruptions in services and facilities 6.6 Procurement of Goods and Services Section 4-2 of the Town’s Policy Manual outlines the current Procurement Policy – Accessibility Organizational Commitment states the following: The Town of Wasaga Beach is committed to meeting the accessibility needs of persons with disabilities in a timely manner, and shall incorporate accessibility criteria and features when procuring or acquiring goods, services or facilities, except where not practical to do so. In such situations where it is not practical, a documented explanation shall be provided upon request. Furthermore, whenever possible the purchase of goods and services shall be based on the principles of universal design. The Town incorporates accessibility features and has regard to accessibility for people with disabilities when designing, procuring, or acquiring self-service kiosks. 6.7 Self-Serve Kiosks The Town does not currently have any self-serve kiosks in place. If that the Town does acquire them in the future we will incorporate accessibility features and consider accessibility for people with disabilities when designing, procuring or acquiring self-service kiosks. 7. MEASURES AND COMMUNICATION The following measures are in place to ensure the municipality assesses its proposed policies, programs, practices, facilities, goods and services to determine their effect on accessibility for persons with disabilities. 7.1 Consultation Input on this plan was requested from all Town departments and staff to identify any barriers in their buildings or work areas.


The AAC was consulted to provide input on accessibility policies, procedures and this Accessibility Plan. The Town solicited feedback directly from those with disabilities through Public Notice in the local paper and on the Town’s website. 7.2 Review and Monitoring Process Staff will monitor the progress on the actions required in the plan, and it will be reviewed as a reoccurring agenda item for the AAC. Minutes from the AAC are forwarded through the General Government Section of Coordinated Committee to Council, for information. Staff, in consultation with the AAC, will prepare an annual status report on the progress of measures taken to implement the Plan and post this status report on the Town’s website. The Accessibility Plan will be updated at least once every five years in consultation with the AAC and presented to Council. 7.3 Communication of the Plan Copies of this Accessibility Plan and annual updates are available at: the Town Clerk’s Office, Town Hall, through pick up, email or mail; the Town of Wasaga Beach website at www.wasagabeach.com;

o upon request, the plan will be made available in an alternate format 7.4 Feedback Listening to feedback is an integral part of the evaluation process. Town of Wasaga Beach Policy Manual Section 2-10 – Integrated Accessibility Standards- sets out the feedback process. The Town shall ensure its process for receiving and addressing feedback is accessible for persons with disabilities by providing, or arranging for, the provision of any document, related to this service, in an accessible format or communication support, upon request. Members of the public are notified of the availability of accessible formats and communication supports with respect to the feedback process through the Town’s website. Feedback on the accessibility of the Town’s facilities, programs, goods and services is always welcome. 8. CONCLUSION The ODA and AODA have legislated that municipalities, across Ontario, improve access for persons with disabilities. As a provider of goods, services and facilities to the public, the Town is committed to upholding its responsibility of

ensuring full access to all residents who utilize our facilities, programs, goods and services. While the goals and priorities outlined in this Plan are primarily directed towards persons with disabilities, many of the achievements, associated with accessibility, will benefit all Town of Wasaga Beach residents. In accordance with the provincial legislation, the Town will continue to meet its compliance obligations by developing and implementing programs, policies, and initiatives that create and maintain a fully accessible and inclusive community. The identification and removal of barriers will continue to be an ongoing activity for Town staff and Committee members. Feedback on the accessibility of its facilities, programs, and goods and services is always welcome.
