December 13, 2018 Re: Value of AMO Membership 2019-2020 You would be right to think of AMO as a highly influential policy development and advocacy organization, but it is so much more. We are also a provider of programs of direct support through our Local Authority Services (LAS). We also advance municipal employer interests in OMERS as your sponsor representative through the Municipal Employer Pension Centre of Ontario (MEPCO). Take a few minutes to look at this video that speaks to our roles. In the meantime, let me highlight a few of the benefits as I ask you to renew your AMO membership. In the first 100 days of the new provincial government, our work has resulted in positive changes for municipal government in Ontario. We now have fairer and clearer criteria for municipal governments to argue capacity to pay in fire service negotiations and interest arbitration. We now have full, absolute protection for “doublehatter” firefighters and we have seen the repeal of recent labour laws that would have added costs to municipal governments. We know the Government of Ontario is facing a very big fiscal challenge, one that has it looking at every single funding program, including those that support municipal governments and others in the broader public sector. We know consultations are occurring on development charges, housing and reducing the reporting burden on municipal governments – and that is just in one of many ministries that have an impact on municipalities. Your membership in AMO gives the sector a seat at the provincial table. It gives us the ability to coordinate municipal governments and tap the talents and front-line knowledge of members on any number of topics. The coming year is going to be a pivotal year – a year when the municipal sector needs a strong, clear and united voice. We are a constant and influential voice at Queen’s Park when it is needed most. Please renew your AMO membership. OMERS is also a significant policy area if you are an OMERS employer. Take a look at your employer pension contributions – which average 10.7%. It is a significant budget line for your municipality. Even with some solid investment returns, OMERS remains in deficit from the last recession. In addition, the future is going to be more challenging for plan sustainability. OMERS estimates that by the year 2030, the ratio of contributing members to retirees with be 1:1. MEPCO is the municipal employers’ pension voice. Its work is critical to protecting municipal employer interests. Without MEPCO, work on pension issues would be weakened and municipal representation would suffer. Employee-side sponsors are fully supported and resourced by their union associations. Employer sponsors must be fully supported too. I promise that we will continue our hard work on your behalf in 2019. To do that we need your membership in AMO and MEPCO. The related membership invoices have been mailed to your treasury department for payment. Municipal governments are the frontline of governments. Let us work together in 2019. Best wishes to you, your friends and family, and your community for a happy, safe and festive holiday season. Yours sincerely, Jamie McGarvey President

The Ontario Municipal Board (the “OMB”) is continued under the name Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the “Tribunal”), and any reference to the Ontario Municipal Board or Board in any publication of the Tribunal is deemed to be a reference to the Tribunal. PROCEEDING COMMENCED UNDER subsection 45(12) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13, as amended
Appellant: Town of Midland Applicant: John Millard Subject: Minor Variance Variance from By-law No.: 2004-90 Property Address/Description: 415 Midland Point Road Municipality: Town of Midland Municipal File No.: A14-2018 OMB Case No.: PL180716 OMB File No.: PL180716 OMB Case Name: Town of Midland v. Midland (Town)
APPEARANCES: Party Counsel Town of Midland Amanpreet S. Sidhu MEMORANDUM OF ORAL DECISION DELIVERED BY HELEN JACKSON AND ORDER OF THE TRIBUNAL
[1] John Millard (the “Applicant”) applied for a minor variance in order to permit relief
from the zoning by-law provision for minimum lot frontage for his property at 415
Local Planning Appeal Tribunal Tribunal d’appel de l’aménagement local
ISSUE DATE: November 26, 2018 CASE NO(S).: PL180716
Heard: November 15, 2018 in Midland, Ontario
2 PL180716 Midland Point Road. The relief is required to permit the future severance of a new
building lot.
[2] The Town of Midland (the “Town”) Committee of Adjustment (the “COA”)
approved the application notwithstanding that the Town planning staff did not support
the requested variance. A decision was made by Town Council to appeal the COA
decision. This hearing was held for the appeal by the Town of the COA decision to
approve the minor variance application of the above noted property.
[3] The Applicant did not attend the hearing and did not send any representative.
[4] Candice Lee, a local resident, attended in opposition to the requested variance;
however Ms. Lee did not provide any evidence to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal
(“Tribunal”). No one else requested status at the hearing.
[5] Angela Zhao, a planner with the Town, was qualified by the Tribunal to provide
expert evidence limited to this matter on the basis of her experience on the question
before the Tribunal in this matter. This was Ms. Zhao’s first time qualified by the
Tribunal. Ms. Zhao has been employed with the Town for less than two years. She
explained to the Tribunal that she is a Candidate member of OPPI. She has amassed
the requisite experience to be qualified as a professional planner but has not yet written
the required exam. Ms. Zhao was the principal author of a planning report for a similar
application for the property immediately to the east at 399 Midland Point Road. This
application was approved by the COA and appealed to the Tribunal by Ms. Lee and her
husband. The Tribunal, constituted as this Member, allowed the appeal and did not
authorize the requested variance. Wesley Crown, the Director of Planning and Building
Services for the Town, authored the planning report that recommended refusal of this
application. Ms. Zhao indicated that she had reviewed that report.
[6] In the current matter, Ms. Zhao provided uncontested expert land use planning
evidence in opposition to the requested variance. No other evidence was provided.
3 PL180716 REQUESTED VARIANCES
[7] The application requests relief from Zoning By-law No. 2004-90, as amended.
Section 9.1.3.2: The by-law requires a minimum lot frontage of 35.0 m; whereas the proposed lot frontage will be 30.0 m. Condition of Approval required by the COA: 1. That the Applicant submit an evaluation, prepared by a qualified
professional, of the suitability of the two lots for private septic systems to the satisfaction of the Town.
2. That the applicant submit an Environmental Impact Study addressing the proposed development and the impact, if any, including any proposed mitigation required to ensure no negative impact on the environmental features and functions of the subject property.
3. That the Applicant obtain Provisional Consent Approval for the subject property.
ISSUE
[8] Section 45(1) of the Planning Act (“Act”) allows the Tribunal to authorize
variances to a zoning by-law where the variance is minor; is desirable for the
appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure; maintains the general
intent and purpose of the Official Plan; and maintains the general intent and purpose of
the zoning by-law. The Tribunal must be satisfied that all four tests are met in order to
authorize the requested variances.
EVIDENCE
[9] Ms. Zhao provided the planning context for this application, referencing the
documents provided in the Document Book at Exhibit 1.
[10] The subject property is an irregular shaped lot of about 2.7 hectares located on
the southwest side of the intersection between Curry Road and Midland Point Road. It
4 PL180716 has a width of about 60.28 metres (“m”); a depth of 466.04 m on the west side; and, a
depth of 411.46 m on the east side. The subject property is currently vacant and
wooded.
[11] Ms. Zhao explained that the Applicant wishes to sever the subject property to
have a new vacant building lot which would front onto Midland Road. The new lot would
have a 30.0 m frontage and an area of 2,743.2 square metres (“sq. m.”). The resultant
retained lot would have a frontage of 30.28 m, and an area of 24,719 sq. m.. This area
is not serviced so any new development would require a private water and septic
system.
[12] The subject lands are designated Residential District in the Town’s Official Plan.
The property is also part of the Shoreline Residential Special Policy Area 337 and the
lands are designated as Woodlot. The Town’s Zoning By-law No. 2004-90, as
amended, zones the lands Rural – RU. This zoning permits a single detached dwelling
and accessory buildings.
[13] Ms. Zhao testified that when planning staff reviewed this application, staff
considered the intent of the application, which was to facilitate the development of a
future severed lot.
[14] Ms. Zhao testified that the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe 2017
and the County of Simcoe Official Plan direct future growth in areas where services,
such as water and sewer, currently exist, and that this is not the case for the subject
property.
[15] In her evidence, Ms. Zhao referred to the staff report of June 29, 2018, entered
into evidence as Exhibit 1, Tab 8, to support her opinion that the requested variance
does not meet the four tests of the Act.
[16] She testified that the planning report reviewed the lot frontages in the vicinity of
the subject property and found that the variance would allow the creation of a lot with
5 PL180716 the shortest frontage in the vicinity, with the exception of two lots further to the east.
These two lots are differentiated due to the fact that they front onto the shoreline rather
than Midland Point Road. She stated that the proposed variance would result in two
lots with reduced lot frontage and this would not fall within the established character of
the neighbourhood and cannot be considered minor. Additionally, the proposed new lot
is not a desirable or appropriate development of the land because the reduced lot
frontage will set an undesirable precedent within the neighbourhood. The variance
does not meet the intent of the zoning by-law as it departs from the established
neighbourhood character and standards.
[17] Ms. Zhao testified that the intention of the Official Plan is to preserve the low
density character of the rural part of town and the shoreline area. She stated the intent
of the Residential District is to foster a sense of neighbourhood and to protect areas
from inappropriate development. Ms. Zhao took the Tribunal to s. 3.3.7.7 Lots by
Consent; wherein it states: “Within this area there are limited opportunities for the
creation of new residential lots. ...”. She also referenced s. 4.9.19.2 under the Woodlots
section; wherein it states: “.... Development proposals for woodlots or land situated
adjacent to and within 15 metres (49.0 feet) of identified woodlots may be permitted by
the Town, subject to the completion of an Environmental Impact Assessment (E.I.A.) to
the satisfaction of the Town and applicable commenting agencies......”
[18] She takes these policies collectively to mean that there are few opportunities for
new lot creation, and that this specific area, due to the need for a variance for lot
frontage and the presence of the woodlot that requires an EIA prior to any development,
is not an area conducive to lot creation. It is her opinion that the reduced lot frontage to
permit lot creation does not meet the intent and purpose of the Official Plan.
ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
[19] The Tribunal heard uncontroverted planning opinion evidence from Ms. Zhao
who went through the four tests of the Act that are required to be met for the
authorization of a variance. It was her opinion that none of the four tests are met by this
6 PL180716 requested application, as the requested relief for lot frontage will result in two lots that
do not meet the character of the surrounding area, and hence the application does not
meet the intent and purpose of the Official Plan or the zoning by-law, and is not minor
nor desirable.
[20] The Applicant did not appear at this hearing and did not provide any evidence to
refute this opinion.
[21] The Tribunal has reviewed the evidence provided in this hearing and accepts the
opinion of Ms. Zhao. The Tribunal finds that the requested variance results in a lot that
does not meet the four-part test of the Act and therefore the requested variance should
not be authorized.
ORDER
[22] The Tribunal allows the appeal. The requested variance to Zoning By-law No.
2004-90 is not authorized.

Checks in Full Swing on North Simcoe Roads (MIDLAND, ON) ‐ Members of the Southern Georgian Bay Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have been busy checking for impaired drivers since the Festive R.I.D.E. program was kicked off here in Midland on Dec 3, 2018. Officers have checked over 1000 drivers for signs of impairment due to consumption of alcohol or drug at 24 separate locations in North Simcoe since then. To date, only one driver has been charged at these locations with a criminal code drinking and driving offence since the kick off. Officers were also kept busy investigating vehicle crashes with the winter weather being a contributing factor to the 27 vehicle crashes that OPP officers were dispatched to between December 6‐10, 2018. Officers on patrol at 05:09 am December 6, 2018 observed a vehicle strike the media at the intersection of Highway 12 and 93 in the Town of Midland. The vehicle then left the scene of the crash and was stopped by OPP officers shortly after. The lone female driver was spoken to by the officers who administered an approved screening device (ASD) test resulting in a 3 day suspension of her licence and a 7 day seizure of her vehicle under the Administrative Drivers Licence Suspension (ADLS) program. Further investigation resulted in the driver Danielle SHEA 28 years of Innisfil being charged with the following‐

FROM/DE: Central Region Headquarters DATE: December 07, 2018 For Snowmobilers the Temptation for First Tracks Is Almost Irresistible OPP Remind Riders to Think Safety First (Orillia, ON) ‐ Within the last 24 hours several communities in our area received a significant amount of snow. In Central Region, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) wishes to remind riders to take extra care during this portion of pre‐snowmobile season. Trails under the care of the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) are currently not open. Volunteers have not had the opportunity to clear trails, groom or assess snow conditions. Please remember riding on closed OFSC trails may cause damage to the property or cause landowners to revoke consent closing trails for everyone. Riders who choose to ride on closed OFSC trails may be charged. Visit www.ofsc.on.ca for updated trail conditions. Snowmobilers choose to intentionally skip open water cause unnecessary risk to themselves and to first responders attempting a rescue or recovery. Police wish to remind people, no ice is ever 100% safe and everyoneshould remain off the ice that has started to form on our waterways. The Ontario Provincial Police is committed to public safety, delivering proactive and innovative policing in partnership with our communities.
