REZONING PUBLIC MEETING
This evening we have one public meeting regarding a requested amendment to the
Municipality’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law.
1. PURPOSE OF THE FIRST STATUTORY PUBLIC MEETING
The purpose of the public meeting is to request comments on a proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment for the following application:
File No:
Applicant:
Location:
Z09-2013
Mike and Rosemary Bannister
Part of Lot 30, Concession 1, 101 Bauer Road
a) Notice of Meeting
Mr. Hurford - By what method and on what date was notice of this proposed by-law
given?
Notice of this public meeting regarding the proposed zoning by-law amendment was
sent by first class mail on November 8th, 2013, to all property owners within 120
metres of the subject property. Notice was also circulated to all the agencies required
under the Planning Act. In addition, a sign notice was also posted on the property.
b) Purpose of the Proposed Zoning By-law
Mr. Hurford - Would you explain the purpose and reason for the proposed zoning bylaw amendment and what it would accomplish?
Zoning Amendment Application (Z09/2013) was submitted by Mike and Rosemary
Bannister, property owners of 101 Bauer Road. The rezoning application requests that
a proposed severed lot be rezoned from the Rural Exception No. 1 (RU-1) Zone to the
Rural Residential (RR) Zone. The application for severance, B08/2013 will also be
considered at the December 2nd, 2013 meeting of Council. The requested rural
residential lot would have an area of 0.89 hectares (2.19 acres).
As noted the subject lands are currently zoned Rural Exception No. 1 (RU-1) Zone.
There is also an area of Floodprone Overlay Zone along a small watercourse in the
south part of the retained parcel. The requested rezoning would change the zoning of
the severed parcel to the Rural Residential (RR) Zone to allow for the construction of a
single detached dwelling.
c)
Does the Applicant or an Agent wish to make any comments?
Page 17 of 154

Subject/Title:
Consent Application B08/2013 & Rezoning Z09/2013 Mike and Rosemary Bannister
Recommendation:
1. That Council grants provisional consent to application B08/2013 subject to the
following conditions:
1. That the severed parcel be rezoned to the Rural Residential (RR) Zone;
2. That the applicant shall lay out and dedicate by deed to the Municipality of Brighton
a strip of land ensuring 10.0 metres (33 feet) from the centreline of Bauer Road along
the frontage of the severed and retained parcels for road widening purposes and an
appropriately sized area to recognize the location of the cul-de-sac at the end of Bauer
Road;
3. That cash-in-lieu of parkland in the amount of $500 be paid to the Municipality;
4. That all taxes on the severed and retained parcels be in compliance with Municipal
requirements prior to the deed being stamped; and
5. That three paper copies and a digital copy of a registerable survey and the
appropriate deeds be prepared and deposited with the Municipal Clerk within one year
of the granting of consent.
2. That Council enact a By-law under the provisions of Section 34 of the Planning Act,
R.S.O., 1990, to amend By-law No. 140-2002, as otherwise amended, of the
Corporation of the Municipality of Brighton as it applies to certain lands located in Part
of Lot 30, Concession 1, in the Municipality of Brighton, in the County of
Page 19 of 154
Northumberland, to change the zoning from the Rural Exception No. 1 (RU-1) Zone to
the Rural Residential (RR) Zone.
Background/Purpose:
The purpose of Consent Application B08/2013 submitted by Mike and Rosemary
Bannister, property owners of 101 Bauer Road is to request the creation of one new
residential lot with an area of 0.89 hectares (2.19 acres). The subject lands are located
in Part of Lot 30, Concession 1, along the east side of Bauer Road and extend beyond
the existing turnaround at the end of Bauer Road. In the Municipal Comprehensive
Zoning By-Law (No. 140-2002) the subject lands are located in the Rural Exception No.
1 (RU-1) Zone with Floodprone Overlay on the south portion of the lands. The lands
subject to Consent Application B08/2013 are also subject to Rezoning Application
Z09/2013 which is scheduled for a public meeting at the Council meeting on the same
evening, December 2, 2013. The details of the proposed severance as set out in the
following table:
Frontage on Bauer Road Depth Area
Severed 45 metres (147.6 ft.) 197.76 metres (648.8 ft.) 0.89 hectares (2.19 acres)
Retained 90 metres (295.0 ft.) 197.76 metres (648.8 ft.) 14.49 hectares (35.8 acres)
As noted, the subject lands are currently zoned Rural Exception No. 1 (RU-1) Zone with
Floodprone Overlay Zone in the south part of the retained parcel. The requested
rezoning would change the zoning of the severed parcel to the Rural Residential (RR)
Zone to allow for the construction of a single detached dwelling. The permitted uses
and provisions of the zones, other than that stated would still apply as set out in ByLaw 140-2002, as amended.
Analysis/Comments:
Official Plan
The lands subject to this application are designated as Rural Area in the Official Plan of
the former Township of Brighton. Section 6.17.1 of the Official Plan states that:
The Rural Area designation on Schedule "A" and Schedule "A-1" is designed for areas
which generally have soils with a lower capability for agriculture than lands in the
Agricultural Area designation, and which therefore are not as essential for the
maintenance and protection of an environment conducive to a strong agriculture
industry in the Township. As a result, lands in the Rural Area designation can
accommodate a greater range of rural uses in addition to agriculture, including nonfarm rural residential uses.
Page 20 of 154
Section 6.17.3 of the Official Plan sets out a number of secondary uses that may be
permitted in the Rural Area. Specifically Section 6.17.3 xii states that secondary uses,
which may be permitted in the Rural Area designation, include:
xii. A non-farm residential or estate lot or lots for one single detached, semi-detached
or duplex dwelling on each lot, subject to the policies of Section 7 and an amendment
to the Zoning By-law.
Zoning By-law
The subject property is zoned Rural Exception No. 1 (RU-1) in the Comprehensive
Zoning By-law (No. 140-2002, as amended). In the southern portion of the subject
lands there is an area of Floodprone Overlay Zone along a small watercourse.
The minimum lot area and lot frontage requirements of the RU-1 Zone are 1.2 hectares
and 45 metres respectively. The lot to be retained will comply with these minimum zone
provisions however the lot to be severed would have to be rezoned to the Rural
Residential (RR) Zone if consent is granted. No change to the area subject to the
Floodprone Overlay Zone is proposed.
Agency Comments
Notice of the consent application and the rezoning application was circulated to a
number of agencies for review. As of the date of this report, the local Health Unit has
contacted us by telephone to advise that they have no objections to the proposed
severance and rezoning. We have also received a response from Lower Trent
Conservation; they state that they have no concerns.
Should any other comments be received prior to the December 2nd meeting of Council,
they will be brought forward at that time.
Conclusion
The intent of the proposed consent application is the creation of one rural residential lot
on which one new single detached dwelling could be constructed. Consent application
B08/2013 generally conforms to the policies of the Official Plan of the former Township
of Brighton. As such it would be appropriate for Council to grant provisional consent to
this application, subject to a number of conditions.

Subject/Title:
Source Water Protection Funding – Grant Funding
Agreement with the Ministry of the Environment
Recommendation:
1. THAT the Manager of Planning’s staff report dated December 2, 2013 regarding the
Source Protection Funding – Grant Funding Agreement (Ministry of Environment - MOE)
be received; and,
2. THAT Council enacts a By-law to authorize the Mayor and the Clerk to execute on
behalf of the Municipality of Brighton a Grant Funding Agreement for the Source
Protection Municipal Implementation Fund with the Ministry of Environment (MOE) as
per Attachment 3 to the Planning Staff Report.
Background/Purpose:
Source Protection Committees for the Trent Coalition together with their respective
conservation authorities (including Lower Trent Conservation) have undertaken detailed
Assessment Reports and Plans for Source Protection of municipal wells and intakes that
affect the numerous local communities including: Brighton, Cramahe, Alnwick
/Haldimand, Trent Hills, Quinte West and Stirling.
The Trent Coalition including the Municipality of Brighton, along with the other member
municipalities and many other municipalities have proactively petitioned the Province
Page 62 of 154
for funding to assist in the implementation of Source Protection Plans, the approvals of
which by the Minister of Environment are expected in the next few months.
Analysis/Comments:
In response, the Province of Ontario has committed $13.5 million in the 2013 budget to
work in partnership with small, rural municipalities to protect the quality and quantity of
their drinking water supply sources. The Source Protection Municipal Implementation
Fund provides one-time funding to offset a portion of the costs for small, rural
municipalities in preparing to implement and implementing source protection plans.
Staff’s understanding is that the source protection funding from MOE can go toward,
among other things, establishing and enforcing risk management plans, developing
detailed policies and mapping to implement the Source Protection Plans as well as
education and outreach regarding source protection. A more complete description of
the eligible costs related to eligible activities is provided within Section 6 of Attachment
#2.
Staff is seeking Council approval for the Mayor and Clerk to execute the attached Grant
Funding Agreement with the Ministry of Environment for Source Protection Funding.
Financial Implications:
Utilizing a formula that considered several factor’s (see Section 3 of Attachment #2),
MOE has allocated $60,884 to the Municipality of Brighton plus another maximum
$15,000 collaboration incentive.

support sustainable, local actions to protect
drinking water. This guide explains which
municipalities are eligible for funding, how
funding is allocated, the ways that funds can
be used, and what eligible municipalities
need to do to receive funds.
Ontario is committed to protecting drinking
water from source to tap. The Clean Water
Act, 2006 enables communities to protect
their drinking water sources through
the preparation of collaborative, locally
developed, science-based assessment
reports and source protection plans.
Municipalities have a key role to play in
implementing these plans. The Source

map, northern Ontario map);
•
The municipality contains vulnerable
areas identified by the local source
protection committee (and identified
in approved assessment reports) where
there could be significant drinking
water threats;
•
25% or more of the municipality’s

Appendix A: Formula Description
Funding allocations for each eligible municipality were calculated using the following formula:
Grant = [Base Allocation × (Index 1 + Index 2)] + Collaboration Incentive.
1. All eligible municipalities were assigned a base allocation on a sliding scale, based on each
municipality’s weighted assessment per household (municipalities with lower values
receive a higher base allocation). Base allocation funding ranges from $15,000 to $25,000.
2. The base allocation was then multiplied by the sum of two indices:
– Index 1: Existing Threat Index (each municipality was assigned a value of 0 – 2
depending on the number of drinking water threats in the municipality specified in
the assessment reports that were approved by December 2012); and
Score Index 1: Existing Threat Index

the type of policies the municipality is required to implement to address significant
drinking water threats as specified in an approved source protection plan or

SCHEDULE “A”
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
A.1
BACKGROUND
Ontario is committed to protecting drinking water from source to tap. The Clean Water Act, 2006
enables communities to protect their drinking water sources through the preparation of
collaborative, locally developed, science-based assessment reports and source protection
plans.
Municipalities have a key role to play in implementing these plans. On May 2, 2013 the
Province announced, as part of the 2013 Ontario Budget, an investment to help support small
municipalities protect existing and future sources of drinking water. The Source Protection
Municipal Implementation Fund provides one-time funding to offset a portion of the costs for
small, rural municipalities.
A.2
FUND OBJECTIVES
A.2.1 Source Protection Municipal Implementation Fund Objective and Goals
The objective of the Source Protection Municipal Implementation Fund is to provide funding to
assist small, rural municipalities in fulfilling policy obligations for significant drinking water threats
as specified in an approved or proposed source protection plan that has been submitted for
approval.
Those with policy obligations under source protection plans, including municipalities, are
required to undertake preparatory activities such as acquiring the necessary resources (human,
financial and technical) to position themselves to deliver on their obligations under the Clean
Water Act, 2006 and source protection plans.
The goals of the Source Protection Municipal Implementation Fund are to help build municipal
capacity to implement source protection plans; and support sustainable, local actions to protect
drinking water.
A.2.2 Project Objectives
The objectives of the Project are for the Municipality to use the Funds toward fulfilling their
responsibility to implement one or more of the following significant drinking water threat policies
in an approved or proposed source protection plan that has been submitted for approval:
 Policies for the purpose of Part IV of the Clean Water Act, 2006;
 Policies that govern Planning Act decisions;
 Policies that establish education and outreach programs; or
 Policies that specify other types of actions the municipality is required to take.

A.3
COLLABORATION INCENTIVE
To support the development of sustainable, local actions to protect drinking water and to help
increase collaboration efforts among municipalities, up to $15,000 in funding from the Source
Protection Municipal Implementation Fund is available to each eligible municipality that
collaborates with other municipalities. The Maximum Funds amount referenced in Article 1
includes the amount of up to $15,000. As set out in section 3.1(a), the Province will determine
the exact amount of the collaboration incentive funding based on the information set out in the
collaboration statement referred to in Schedule “D.” In order to receive any of the $15,000, the
Municipality must complete the collaboration statement and provide it to the Province by the due
date shown in Schedule “D”. The Province will subsequently notify the Municipality of the
amount of collaboration incentive funding the Municipality is entitled to, based on the
collaboration statement.
The Municipality’s eligibility for this collaboration incentive funding is dependent upon the
number of other municipalities that the Municipality has joined with to perform the Project. The
Municipality may receive one of following amounts: $5,000 for collaborating with one to two
other municipalities; or $10,000 for collaborating with three other municipalities, or $15,000 for
collaborating with four or more other municipalities.
To be eligible for this collaboration incentive funding, the Municipality must meet the following
criteria:
a) Municipal collaborator(s) are located in a source protection area and have vulnerable
areas where activities could be a significant drinking water threat;
b) Collaboration activities are related to the eligible activities listed in Schedule “B,” section
B.1; and

undermining of the road pavement and subsequent safety hazards. The southbound
lane of traffic has been closed for traffic since late October 2013.
The storm sewer under Terry Fox Drive has been inspected by CCTV and was found in
poor repair, warranting its full reconstruction. Subsequently the Public Works and
Development Department called a Tender No. PW 2013-25. The scope of the project
includes the reconstruction of the main storm sewer line, maintenance holes, deficient
laterals, reinstatement of the road base, paving and installation of curbs and sidewalks.

This would improve traffic safety, particularly important considering the fact that
schools are located on either side of the street. The work schedule will be coordinated
with the school representatives in order to minimize the interference with the school
schedules.
Analysis/Comments:
The proposals were opened on November 21st, 2013 at 11:30 am by Andrew
Drzewiecki, Ken Hurford and Scott Hodgson. Two proposals had been received and the
details are tabulated below.
Tenderer Price before H.S.T.
Drain Brothers Excavating Limited $878,689.00
Behan Construction Ltd. $651,170.57
Municipal staff reviewed the proposals, found them to be in order and recommend the
acceptance of the offer submitted by the lowest bidder, Behan Construction Ltd.
Financial Implications:
The project’s cost has been included in the 2014 Public Works Capital Budget (1st
Draft) and the allocated amount is $660,000.00. $310,000.00 would be financed from
the Public Works Reserve and the balance from the Federal Gas Tax.

Assumption of Roads for Public Use, Harbourpoint

Recommendation:
That Council enacts a By-law to assume for Public Use, Beacon Drive between Cedar
Street and Nautical Lane within the Phase 3 of Harbourpoint Subdivision, and that all
remaining securities deposited with the Municipality as a Maintenance Guarantee for
Phase 3 of this development be returned to the Developer, 952849 Ontario Limited.
Background/Purpose:
All the work stipulated in the Subdivision Agreement has been completed and all the
deficiencies identified during previous site inspections conducted by Public Works and
Development staff have been rectified to the satisfaction of the Municipality as of
August 26th, 2013.
Analysis/Comments:
Since the Developer has fulfilled all the obligations under the Subdivision Agreement,
the warranty period has expired and all deficiencies have been rectified to the
satisfaction of the Municipality, it is appropriate for the Municipality to assume for public
use the portion of Beacon Drive between Cedar Street and Nautical Lane and return the
remaining securities in the amount of $13,000 to the Developer.

Fire Master Plan
Recommendation:
That Council approves the Fire Master Plan dated October 2013 in principle, and refers
the plan to the CAO and Fire Chief to report back to Council with an implementation
plan for consideration.
Background/Purpose:
At the October 21, 2013 Council meeting, Dillon Consulting presented the Fire Master
Plan to Council. Council passed the following resolution:
"That Council receives the Fire Master Plan dated October 2013, and directs staff to
place the report on the municipal website for 30 days and advertise for public
comment".
Analysis/Comments:
Ads were placed in the local newspapers, as well as on the Municipality of Brighton
radio minute requesting public comment.
One public comment was received from Mr. Roger McMurray.
There are 34 recommendations contained within the Fire Master Plan. It is
recommended that Council approve the plan in principle and refer it to the CAO and Fire
Chief to report back to Council with an implementation plan.

Page 97 of 154
CAO Request for
Comments – Fire Master Plan
Municipality of Brighton 2013
The Municipality of Brighton Fire Master Plan prepared by Dillon
Consultants Ltd is a comprehensive plan addressing most areas within the
municipality’s Fire Services. It is professionally prepared by a knowledgeable
individual and defines what are considered areas of concern and also
recommends significant changes to both staffing and infrastructure funded by the
municipality.
Figure 12, Page 63, Percentage of Calls by Type 2007-2012 notes that only
8 percent of the calls received are for actual fires. The remaining 92 percent of
calls are in most cases, unrelated to fires. The 92 percent of non-fire calls need to
be analysed and determination made on the most cost effective method of
addressing these varied types of call(s).
Chapter 11.0 Page 91, Implementation Plan is, in my view,
UNAFFORDABLE. If the municipality had a much larger base of commercial and
industrial tax resources, it might be. What exactly do the words under the
heading, “Horizon” mean, i.e. Short-term? Does it mean, one year, five years or
1
Page 98 of 154
ten years? I pulled out my calculator and added the short-term costs $402,500.00
and divided this number by the figure used in last year’s budget which
represented a one percent tax rate increase, $53,000.00. If implemented
immediately, the percent increase to municipal taxes would be 7.5 percent. If the
one mid to long-term item is added, the percentage increase to municipal taxes
would be 8.7 percent. If the single long-term item is added, the operating budget
increase for Fire Services jumps to $2,462,000.00. The percentage increase to
municipal taxes would be a whopping 46.45 percent. Please note that these
figures are over and above the 2013 Fire Services budget which is $512,034.00
Operating and $51,800.00 Capital.
Please do not get me wrong; I support the fire fighters one hundred
percent. I was a volunteer firefighter and understand the problems. In this case
the volunteer firefighters have and will continue to serve our citizens well. I would
support fine-tuning out existing volunteer department but not the large scale
changes outlined in the Fire Master Plan which includes, doubling the
complement of volunteer staff, adding two full time positions and adding a
possible new fire station on the south side of the railway corridor. I understand
that this plan covers a 20 year period but please be realistic. The majority of
people who live in the urban areas of Brighton are on pensions and cannot afford
2

to see their residential taxes double – even if it takes 20 years. Please pass these
comments on to whomever you wish.

Sewage System Management Agreement
Recommendation:
That the report from the CAO regarding Part I Sewage System management be
received, and the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit be advised that
the Municipality of Brighton is requesting a contract extension for the delivery of this
service until the municipality is in a position to offer the service alternatively, which will
be no later than June 30, 2014.
Background/Purpose:
The Municipality of Brighton has an agreement with the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine
Ridge District Health Unit for the Part 8 Sewage System Management which expires on
December 31, 2013. The Board of Health has advised that they will not be renewing
this agreement.
Analysis/Comments:
In order to allow for the transition, the Board of Health will permit current contracts to
continue until such time as municipalities are in a position to assume responsibility for
the program, but no later than June 30, 2014.
Staff are currently working with other municipalities and Northumberland County to
analyse the following options for delivering this service:
- sharing the service delivery with neighbouring municipalities
Page 101 of 154
- entering into an agreement with the County plumbing inspection department
to deliver the service
- entering into an agreement with the Lower Trent Conservation to deliver the service
- issue an RFP, in conjunction with other municipalities, to contract out the inspection
program to a qualified outside service provider
- deliver the service in house.
The analysis of the options is expected to be completed early in the new year, and will
form part of our Service Delivery Review program. Until such time as the analysis in
completed, a report is presented to Council for a decision, and the training and
transition takes place, we recommend extending the current agreement with the
Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit.
Legal/Legislative:
The Ontario Building Code, Part 8 governs the design, construction, operation and
maintenance of various classes of sewage systems located within residential,
commercial and industrial properties. This legislation deals with sewage systems having
a daily sewage flow up to 10,000 litres per day for a single property. Sewage systems
with daily sewage flows above that level are regulated by the Ontario Ministry of
Environment. The Act requires councils of municipalities to appoint a qualified inspector
to carry out the enforcement of the code.

January 6, 2014 Council Meeting
Recommendation:
That the Council meeting of January 6, 2014 be cancelled and that staff be directed to
advertise this cancellation.
Background/Purpose:
The Procedural Bylaw provides that Council meetings will be held on the first and third
Monday of every month except that only one regular Council meeting shall be held in
July and August on the third Monday of each month. The bylaw also provides that the
Mayor may cancel or reschedule meetings to a different date or time.
Analysis/Comments:
The first Monday in January 2014 is January 6th. This would require that the cut off for
the agenda is January 1st, which is a statutory holiday. That along with the Christmas
and New Year holidays, there is usually very little business created for the first meeting
in January. Typically, each year the only matters that are on the first Council meeting
are Planning matters. The Planning department has advised that there are no planning
applications or notices for public meetings for the January 6th agenda.
Financial Implications:
This would provide a savings of up to $1,000. in meeting honorariums.

The Committee commented on the need for a by-law to be created to address the
location, size, number and time of year of the various items that are allowed to be
located on Main Street at one time. The by-law would aim to accommodate clear access
along the sidewalks for everyone at any time of year. An additional concern about bikes
being left lying on the sidewalk was also mentioned.
RESOLUTION NO. AC 13-47
Moved by Councillor John Martinello
Seconded by Sandy Fawcett-Kovacs

5f) Presqu’ile landing Sidewalk – Councillor Martinello brought up concerns of residents
regarding the sidewalk within Presqu’ile Landing. Staff will endeavor to conduct research
on the on the sidewalks in that area.
6. CORRESPONDENCE: Mandi Scarr discussed a letter on accessibility at King Edward arena
that was being proposed to go to Jim Millar, Director of Parks and Recreation. She
requested more access to the public washrooms in the community centre area and
requested that the staff look into the alteration of the handicapped parking spaces at the
front of the arena and that they be enlarged to accommodate a vehicle that might have a
lift on the back of it. Presently the wheel chair lift that has been outfitted on her vehicle
extends over the sidewalk area. She suggests that the parking space be lengthened and
the two parking spaces across and in front of the handicapped spaces be eliminated to
give more space for the larger vehicle to back into the parking area. Staff offered to
discuss this with the Arena staff and Public Works to see how this can be resolved.
