Hi Tom,
The addition of Whitestone and McKellar will require a duplication of the process that I undertook to preparethe existing report. This will require a request for workload data from the OPP for these two municipalities inat least the same level of detail that we originally requested for the three Townships covered in the Report. Iwould then prepare an analysis and financial estimate in a similar fashion to that already completed to date.This would necessitate the development of at least two more options for policing. Regardless of whatMcDougall Township ultimately decides, it would be beneficial to obtain the workload data for that jurisdictionat the same time.
Timing of the project is impossible to estimate because it is dependent on the promptness of the OPP inproviding the necessary workload information. Once that is received, I can proceed at a more rapid pace thanbefore because the basic format of the report has already been established. My cost estimate would includethe preparation of all of the work to the clients’ satisfaction, meeting with staff whenever required, andmaking presentations to the Steering Committee and Councils after the draft report is ready for final review aswe have recently done. I would work with the municipal representatives to ensure that the revised report is ofthe same clarity, quality and detail as the existing report.
I would also prefer to revise the existing report to integrate all of the new options for the two additionalmunicipalities, and revise sections to include reference to things such as; the analysis you prepared of theactual kilometres of municipal roadways that would need to be policed, and potential cost savings for by lawenforcement. My sense is that the economy of scale for a municipal police service will increase proportionate
to the number of municipalities involved.
The Fees for providing this work would be:
McKellar and Whitestone $24,000.00 plus HST
McDougall $12,000.00 plus HST
I will be pleased to provide any additional information or clarification that is required. If a more formal,
detailed submission is required for this project, I can prepare and submit it within two weeks.

FILE No.: B17/2015(McK) - McKayOWNER: Gordon McKayLOCATION: Holly’s RoadPROPOSAL: The application would create an additional two new 1ha. lots on the south side of
Holly’s Road. A similar application for 2 lots was approved in 2013.
Provincial Policy Statements No Concerns.
Official Plan The lands are designated Waterfront, but should be treated as InlandDevelopment as the focus will now be non-waterfront.
7.4 In the Inland Development designation no more than two (2) new lots plus the retained may becreated subject to the policies of this Plan including but not limited to section 16.1.3.
16.1.3 Land division for new development in the Inland Development Area policy designation willproceed by consent. In addition to the consent policies of this Plan, severance activity fornew residential dwellings in the Inland Development Area policy designation will besubject to the following policies:
(a) the standard for lots sizes should be established in the implementing zoning by-law andsuch standards shall provide minimum lot frontages that do not contribute to scattereddevelopment that results in the inefficient delivery of municipal services.
(b) there is demonstrated evidence that the number of lots being created in theInlandDevelopment Area policy is in response to a need and not creating anunsatisfactory strain on municipal roads and other services where applicable.
Council should be satisfied that the lot creation is in conformity with sections (a) and (b) above.
Proper sightlines will be a consideration.
Zoning Bylaw
The property is zoned as Rural and requires 60m frontage and 1 ha lot sizes. The lots meet theminimum requirements.
Planning Discussion
There was concern over the sightlines for driveways as there is a grade separation just east of the lotson the first application. The agent has made comments on the sketch with regard to probable entrancelocations and shows the eastern lot having an entrance at the top of the grade. Based on a previousinspection, the driveway locations should not be a concern.
Normal parkland dedication fees would apply.
