Navigation Protection Act 2014

• From Transport Canada’s FAQs• 7. Why is the Government of Canada shifting the

responsibility of policing navigation in non-scheduled waterways to the public users (e.g. boaters)?

• For centuries boaters and builders have gotten along in shared waterways, generally respectful of each other. In fact, the vast majority of Transport Canada’s Approvals are issued for works that do not substantially interfere with navigation. As such, the Government of Canada has made the decision to focus the department’s resources on the busiest waterways in the country, and allow the common law to be the basis for protecting the public right of navigation.

Please be advised that at its meeting of December 4, 2013, Essa Council passed the following:

Request for Addition of Nottawasaga River to the Navigation Protection Act

WHEREAS the Federal Government is replacing the Navigable Waters Protection Act with the Navigation Protection Act which applies only to the 100 lakes and 61 rivers listed under the legislation; andWHEREAS the Nottawasaga River, a key Southern Ontario waterway running through Dufferin, Grey and Simcoe Counties into Georgian Bay is not on that list; andWHEREAS the Nottawasaga River is an important destination for anglers, outdoor adventure tours and the hospitality industry who all depend on the navigability of this river and the health of the fishery;NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Township of Essa requests that the Federal Government list the Nottawasaga River as a navigable river and that it be protected under the Navigation Protection Act and further, that a copy of this Resolution be forwarded to Honourable Kelly Leitch, M.P., Jim Wilson, M.P.P., the County of Simcoe and the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority requesting their support in this matter.----Carried----

Thank you! From AWARE Simcoe

Introduction to

Born To Ride Bicycle & CCPPwww.borntoridebicycle.com Send inquiries to: info@[email protected]

In 2007 an idea was created by Peter Armstrong and his supporting wife Anna Armstrong - today the administrator of Born To Ride bicycle. “The business is a support vehicle for cycling tourism communities” Anna Armstrong

“We evolved from a concept of offering bicycle rentals to Resort guests at Carriage Ridge, Carriage Hills and Horseshoe Resorts,when no one was thinking about cycling. We originally set up seasonally at Line 3 and Highland drive at Carriage Hills Resort, located in the Township of Oro-Medonte. Today (2013) we offer mobile bicycle rental, tours, repairs, training and much more.” Peter Armstrong

Over the last five years we have explored, cycled, photographed and documented many cycling routes on and off the roadways, into forests and trails.

We reach out to communities to help enhance their cycling experiences and draw tourism to the area. We have received invitations throughout the cycling industry to participate in many activities and provide our advice on many topics varying from TV interviews to Cycling tourism in Stake holder meetings to a discussion with children on the basics of cycling. We have created over 80 guided cycling tours throughout Central Ontario, some with and without packages. Our latest achievement is the WaterfrontHeritage a seven day cycling vacation within Simcoe County; http://www.borntoridebicycle.com/CyclingVacation.html .

We cater to people of all walks of life travelling from Israel, Germany, France, China, Japan, The United Kingdom, Scotland, Africa, United States of America, Canada and many more.

We cater to specialty groups such as Jewish school groups, or the Olympic Rowing team on a Mountain Bike tour.

In summaryFor the past five years Born To Ride Bicycle has promoted many communities within Simcoe County. We now offer our services on a pay per basis, with a complete Tourism Experience Packaged called the CCPP the Cycling Community Partnership Program.

Cycling Community Partnership Program (CCPP)

www.borntoridebicycle.com Send inquiries to: info@[email protected]

We take our business seriously, We have mastered the cycling tourism market and continue to grow, learn and change to meet market demands. We cover every part of the process from establishing the tour route, type, supplying the right bicycle, packaging accommodators and meals, pricing the tour, creating website presence and partnering up with key marketing trend setters for nationally and internationally exposure, cooperating with regional initiatives. (Additional services in R &D, Tradeshow exhibits, photography, video production and graphic design)

Business & Organizations can benefit from: Sponsoring a tour that suites your interest and we’ll place your business on our website giving you the type of

From a tourism perspective the CCPP (Cycling Community Partnership Program) can increase cycling tourism traffic to your community.

Economic Impact variable (EIV) One of the key issues with drawing tourism to an area is TIME and Transportation costs. We can’t shorten the distance to a community but there is a way to reduce costs. The EIV does just that. HOW does the EIV work? From working with our marketing partners we reduced tour rates, below operating costs to see where the price point would make a significant difference in drawing new visitors. We discovered a dramatic increase in cyclist’ssignups for tours, which satisfied the visitors, but didn’t support our business model. Then we looked at the economic impact of the drawing tourism to the community, realizing there was great benefits to the community we cycled within. Hence The Economic Impact Variable and the Cycling Community Partnership Program is founded on the principle of the Partnership organization would compensate (EIV) Born To Ride Bicycle for the difference in price of each cyclist sign up and in turn we would draw more cyclists to your community. With this technique we find our cyclists spend anywhere from 2 to 4 times the value of our tours.

The Economic impact can grow to an estimated $48,000/season into your community. And through a multi-day tour, where the community is incorporated in the tour, the economic benefit can be an additional estimated $23,142 through Born To Ride Bicycles purchases of accommodations and meals combined with our cycling tourists purchases. These values are influenced on each community’s level of commitment to making cycling tourism services thrive. (i.e. marketing efforts, signage, etc.. will help to ensure this).

So, what’s the first step? Contact us at [email protected] and tell us when you’re available for a meeting.. When we meet, I will share the possibilities of the Economic impact our program can have on your community.

In Summary the CCPP Offers? Local community experience for tourists. County wide multi-day packaged experiences for tourists. Increasing tourism traffic that draws first time experiences to your area. website presence in promotion of regional and localized tourism 24/7 support from all avenues of Cycling tourism, helping you achieve your goals Economic impact to your community.

What does it cost? 1. You’re required to purchase an annual CCP membership: $5000.00/yr. This amount is a small

contribution towards ongoing operating costs to maintain this service to your communities . 2. For $1000/yr website presence allows up to three cycling tours on our website. 3. A minimum $2000 retainer is required if the community supports reducing tour rates to increase tourism

traffic (EIV). We’ve experience with large organizations a slow process in making payments. This helps to insure payments are kept up to date and guarantees the prices stated on our website for tours are honoured on a long term basis.

4. Tour development fees are $450/day. Developing each tour takes several days. Typically a two hour tour takes three days to complete. This is also influenced by the type of tour and the level of commitment or cooperation to support each project. Having maps, GIS, data and other resources at our finger tips is pinnacle.

On location services available are Bicycle Rentals, repairs, guided tours, training and a Sound system for announcements and musical entertainment. (Additional charges may apply: i.e. DJ services)

What’s involved to establish a tour?1. Research & Development of routes available. Hours of Internet research, and onsite visits with transportation of

equipment to proposed sites. 2. After the tour route is finalized, time trialed, graded by terrain, assigned to bicycle type, endurance level, we go

the next stage. 3. Naming the tour takes research and discussion. 4. Different times of the year the route is ridden 5. A script is written about the tour 6. The Webmaster then goes to work editing documentation taken into consideration many technical issues. 7. Finally Tour goes live for the world to see.

What happens when a tour is booked?When a tour is booked, a series of correspondence goes back and forth between the customer. This can take a month, a week or a day. We first establish the correct tour-type for the cyclists skill set. Ensuring the customer has an enjoyable experience. Then the tour is confirmed by payments with additional data and the staging area date and time is set, with additional preferences of packaged meals, accommodations, exhibits and transportation. Then the agreement is written up for the tour guide and mechanic to prepare for the tour.

a. The tour guide may ride the tour route once before the customers arrives, reviewing the route and historical data on the tour as well as determining if any detours have to be made do to down trees, road construction.

b. The mechanic has the responsibility to assess the bicycle required for the tour based on the customer’s height, weight, level of experience skill set and expectations.

c. And finally the tour guide and bicycles arrive at the staging area to meet the visitors going out that day, come rain or shine.

And the good thing about our cycling tours is that we always come back with many happy faces that enjoyed the cycling experience, and look forward to another cycling experience.

From reducing our tour costs (below operating costs) we discovered a dramatic increase in cyclists signups for tours, in which case the Partnership organization would compensate us for the difference and in turn we would draw more cyclists to your community. With this technique we find our cyclists spend anywhere from 2 to 4 times the value of our tours.

Dear Mayor and Council, Town of Wasaga Beach:

Re: 2014 Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority Proposed Budget and Municipal Levy Circulation notice.

Enclosed please find the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority Proposed Budget Summary for 2014 (attachment 1). This proposed budget was approved for circulation/input at the November 29, 2013 NVCA Board of Directors� meeting.

On January 10, 2014, NVCA Board members will deliberate and vote on this circulated budget. Please note that at the budget meeting there will be two main components to the vote, on:

• a grant matching levy of $185,490 where each member has one vote; and,

• a non-grant matching levy of $1,836,387 where each member has a weighted vote, weighted according to their municipal share of the current value assessment. (attachment 2)

The following is a summary of the proposed 2014 budget highlights:

• 2014 is a status quo year; program service levels will be maintained.

• The total NVCA budget is $4,525,040. • The proposed Town of Wasaga Beach levy is $205,599.79, a 6.14%

increase over 2013. • The average levy paid by the NVCA�s 18 Municipalities reflects:

population growth (1.92%) plus inflation rate (1.33%) for an average 3.25 % increase, costing approximately $10 per resident, with a .30¢ cent increase in 2014 over 2013.

• Use of operational reserve to balance the budget in 2014 is $97,500, compared to $190,000 in 2013, leaving a reserve balance of just under $1 million.

2014 NVCA key program services:

• Work with over 50 partners to protect our valuable watersheds, supporting over 200,000 residents, $34 billion in property values, and more than $200 million in annual economic activities reliant on a safe, clean and healthy environment. Includes protecting the world�s largest fresh water beach at Wasaga Beach.

• Plant in excess of 135,000 trees on 28 properties. • Work with over 100 landowners/farmers and community groups on water

quality and erosion control improvement projects. • Continue to collect leading edge watershed science and make it available

to decision makers supporting integrated watershed management programs, including protection, restoration and sustainable/wise development of our natural resources.

• Widely communicate/distribute Watershed Health Checks describing the environmental health trends of our watersheds, including pressing stewardship recommendations based on over 1000 watershed health monitoring sites/samples.

• Provide flood forecast and warning protection for 200,000 people and 18 Municipalities. Directly protect 5,000 people and over $1 billion of property in the floodplain.

• Deliver Environmental Education to over 8,000 students. • Protect world class wetlands, floodplains and wildlife habitat on over

12,000 acres in 12 Conservation areas, with over 65 km of trails, also providing outdoor experiences for over 50,000 visitors per year.

• Provide detailed Planning, Engineering and Technical support to our landowners, municipalities and the province, supporting wise, sustainable and safe development for over 1,000 development applications/inquiries, accommodating approximately 3,000 new residents with approximately $1 billion of property value, consistent with local Official Plans, the Provincial Planning Act and CA Act requirements.

• Complete an efficiency audit to ensure the NVCA remains efficient and effective in meeting the needs of our Watershed communities.

The 2014 proposed budget has been developed to minimize costs to our Municipal partners while maintaining the current level of conservation services. NVCA anticipate continued heavy workloads in the Planning and Regulations, Engineering and Technical support, Stewardship, Reforestation, Monitoring, Conservation Lands and Education programs. We know the public and our many partners will continue to pitch in to help protect and restore the environment.

We believe the 2014 proposed budget represents a wise investment for the long term health of our environment and our local economy. We would be pleased to make a deputation to your Council specifically describing the NVCA services delivered in your municipality, or work directly with your staff to answer any questions regarding the 2014 draft budget and associated conservation services. Please contact Laurie Barron, Executive Assistant at 705-424-1479 ext.222 or [email protected] to schedule a deputation or a meeting with staff.

A link to the complete 2014 proposed Budget staff report can be found on the NVCA web site at www.nvca.on.ca or obtained directly by contacting Laurie Barron at the above noted email/phone.

Yours in conservation,

Wayne R. Wilson, B.Sc. Nina Bifolchi CAO/Secretary-Treasurer NVCA Chair

Councillor Bifolchi called the meeting to order at 1:30 p.m.

2. DISCLOSURE OF PECUNIARY INTEREST

3. DEPUTATIONS/PRESENTATIONS/PUBLIC MEETING

The Chair welcomed Ms. Vienna Hutton, agent on behalf of Hamount Investments, to the table.

Ms. Hutton informed Committee she was present to discuss briefly two applications. She indicated the first application was for Phase 4 (d) of the Stonebridge By the Bay plan of subdivision and it is an application to lift the holding provision. She indicated basic services are now complete so they are looking to lift the holding to allow for building permits to be issued.

Ms. Hutton advised the second application that she is before Committee to discuss is for a proposed zoning by-law amendment for Lots 14-20 on Plan 51M-923. She advised Hamount is looking to construct 12 semi-detached units on the subject property and seek a to reduce lot frontages from 10 metres to 9 meters and the lot area from 300 square metres to 266 square metres in order for this to occur. She advised the semi-detached units will be built with the same characteristics as the current neighbourhood.

Councillor Wells asked if the new units will have the same unit size as the existing semidetached units. Ms. Hutton advised they will be of similar design and provided photos of existing units in the development. She advised she did not have the exact size of the proposed units at this time. Councillor Wells noted that he would have an issue if the units proposed were smaller than the existing units in the development.

Deputy Mayor Foster asked for clarification on how many dwellings there will be. Ms. Hutton informed Committee that there will be an additional three dwelling units for a total of 12 semi-detached units.

CARRIED

c) Subdivision/Condominium Matters

i) Proposed New England Village Parkland Infrastructure Contribution Agreement

The Chair asked Mr. Kelso if he would like to speak to the matter. Mr Kelso commented that this is a unique agreement and that staff have been negotiating with Baywood to move this proposal forward. Mr. Kelso also noted that attached to his report were the basic principles of the proposed park as provided by Baywood Homes, and comments from the Public Works Engineer. He advised instead of providing 5% Private Parkland as per zoning requirements, they have agreed to contribute $400,000 towards a public park. Mr. Kelso further explained that there is a public park next door with no immediate plans of usage and the thought is that this contribution can be put towards public development.

Mr. Kelso informed Committee that he has consulted with other departments and looked at the possibility of bringing tennis courts, parking, onsite bathrooms, etc. to this area. He advised the


cost would be spilt with Baywood. Mr. Kelso noted the MBTW cost estimate came in around $939,000, but town engineers along with Baywood believe the right amount will be lower than that at approximately $800,000. It is estimated around $129,000 (for cash in lieu of parkland contributions) is expected to be submitted by Baywood for the first phase of the development in the next month. Mr. Kelso noted that the Town’s net amount to be put in will be around $200,000, and the plan is to have facilities installed while the site plan is under way. He advised Baywood would be responsible for the construction. A Town Engineer has commented on the basic principles and if it meets Committee approval then staff will look to negotiate and finalize the details.

Deputy Mayor Foster asked Mr. Kelso if along with the contribution to construction would Baywood be responsible for maintenance. Mr. Kelso informed Committee that it is town property and Baywood would not be responsible for maintenance.

Deputy Mayor Foster asked where people would park their vehicles when visiting the park. Mr. Kelso advised that MBTW did not initially include onsite parking. However they have been requested to provide paved parking on site.

Councillor Wells asked if the parkland fund will be depleted following the proposed town contribution. Mr. Kelso noted that significant amount would be contributed, but not all of it as they are hoping the money will be generated through site plans to build up reserves.

Councillor Wells commented on the subject of Baywood proposing to planning staff the amount of “open space” provided through the golf course and if is deemed “open space” would it not then be available for public use. Mr. Kelso informed Committee this was not the meaning of “open space”, rather it refers to the view and amenities, not just the ability to use or access it.

Councillor Wells noted his concern with private land as being misconstrued as “open space” and that it may come back to the Town and Committee down the road. Mr. Kelso noted that all golf courses in the town are designated as “open space”.

Mayor Patterson noted that he is happy with this and appreciates the engineers report as well.

It was then;


RESOLVED THAT the Development Committee recommends to Council that it receive the planning department report on the proposed New England Village Parkland Infrastructure Agreement Report dated December 18th, 2013 for information.

ii) Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority Planning Review Fees

Councillor Wells asked the Chair how Committee members can go about voicing their displeasures with the NVCA Review Fees. The Chair explained to Committee how it was dealt with and what was put forward; a letter can still be sent if requested.

Mayor Patterson asked what the next step was. The Chair advised that it has been circulated and approved and is now going forward. Mayor Patterson noted he would like to follow up and send a letter of objection.

Councillor Wells would like to verify what consultation was made with the town during this process; if there was no consultation then he would like to put forth a letter of objection. Mr. Kelso informed Committee that he can’t guarantee it wasn’t circulated, and that staff will look into this. The Chair also indicated she would look into the circulation methods. Mr. Kelso noted this report was before the committee as the review fees for the NVCA exceed the Town’s fees.

Mr. Vadeboncoeur asked, with respect to these fees and making potential developers in our community aware, is there a process of advising them about NVCA fees, and is there a schedule provided to them. Mr. Kelso noted that typically staff does not give out fee schedules that are not our own as they may not always be current, but staff do clarify and identify through pre-consultation they are subject to other fees and requirements from other agencies.

Mayor Patterson noted in the report there is no comment from the Planning Department and if it was just received for information. Mr. Kelso commented that it was more of a list to see


where fees sit with other town fees and that staff received the information and thought it should be brought forward.

It was then;
