Website Refresh and Survey Response

Background

As has been reported to Council, a quote of $1,500 has been received to conduct a website refresh; this is within the 2017 budget. Anticipated steps for this project

were established as shown below: 1. Completion of design needs analysis update

2. Campaign to gather key stakeholder input 3. Staff to review content and update by department

4. Collect new images (on-going); the 2018 budget will be presented for approval with dollars allocated for a contract photographer

5. Staff to provide design direction to website services provider

6. Design and transfer to refreshed site – anticipated completion of February 28, 2018.

This refresh project focuses on re-working the home page and modernizing the look

of the website overall. The refresh will not include the framework of the website. At this stage of the project, time is being spent reviewing the content of the existing

website and staff are meeting each week to ensure the project continues to move forward.

The website survey remains open until November 24, 2017. To date, 49 response

have been received. The link has been shared via social media and through the monthly newsletter. The link has also been forwarded to the Chamber of Commerce

for circulation to their membership. A summary of comments thus far are enclosed. It is encouraging to see that comments received are somewhat consistent with the

direction previously suggested. For example, we have identified the need for the following: Add electronic newsletter subscribe option on home page

Search bar on home page Have home page focus on getting people to the information they are searching

for easier, i.e. rename “Governance” to “Council”, Municipal Services” to “Departments”

Staff are pleased to advise that prior to year-end, online mapping allowing residents

to look up their property and determine zoning via GIS, will be added.

Next steps may include completion of forms and increased payment options. It is possible that SDG Counties will be undertaking a similar project in 2019 and as such,

staff are considering budget and timelines in this regard.

Township of South Stormont ACTION REQUEST

To: Council Date of Meeting: November 22, 2017

Subject: Agreement for Animal Control Services

Recommendation: That Council authorize the extension of the existing Animal Control Services Agreement with Kevin Casselman for one year, expiring December 31,

2018.

Comments/Observations: The Township contracts Animal Control and Kennel Operation Services to Kevin Casselman. The current agreement with Mr. Casselman began July 1,

2016 and expires on December 31, 2017. As discussed previously, SDG municipalities have begun to consider future animal control operations jointly.

Although progress is being made, it is not feasible that alternate

arrangements be implemented in advance of the December 31, 2017 deadline. Therefore, it is necessary that the existing contract be extended for

one year.

Pursuant to Section 2 c) of the Agreement, authorized by By-law No. 2016-

041, Municipalities have the option of extending the term of the Agreement for a further one (1) year.

ACTION REQUEST


Subject: Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Supply of 2018 Municipal Elections Services

Recommendation: That Council award the Request for Proposal for the Supply of a Voting

System for the 2018 Municipal Elections to Intelivote Systems Inc. and further, authorize the Director of Corporate Services/Clerk to execute

the necessary documents.

Executive Summary: Jointly the municipalities of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry issued an

RFP for the supply of telephone, internet and paper ballot/tabulator election services for the 2018 Municipal Elections.

Following review, the Intelivote Systems Inc. proposal appears to meet

the established requirements.

Background: The RFP was posted competitively, 2 bids were received and reviewed by Clerks of the SDG municipalities. All are recommending the same

vendor and as such, all are realizing the cost efficiencies. Both vendors provided all mandatories and would be able to deliver the project but

given the price differential the decision was unanimous to recommend awarding the tender to Intelivote Systems Inc. Intelivote will also be

providing elections services for the United Counties of Prescott Russell

and Lanark County in addition to neighboring municipalities to the west.

A summary of the financial submissions excluding taxes, is provided

below:

Further consideration with regards to the use of the telephone and

voting places is taking place. Staff intend to provide an additional Municipal Elections report at the December 6, 2017 Special Meeting.

Options: 1. That Council award the RFP for 2018 Municipal Elections Services

to Intelivote Systems Inc. This is the recommended option. 2. That Council not award the RFP for 2018 Municipal Elections

Services to Intelivote Systems Inc. 3. Other.

Financial Impact: As at the end of fiscal 2017, it is expected that we will have

approximately $53,600 in the Election Reserve.

Additional funds may be required in 2018 and will be considered during budget deliberations.

ACTION REQUEST


Subject: Authorization for use of Industry Canada's Default Public Consultation Process

Recommendation: That Council authorize the use of Industry Canada's Default Public

Consultation Process for Radiocommunication and Broadcasting Antenna Systems proposals that have previously received

endorsement from the Township.

Background: Proponents are required to consult local municipalities when building

new cellular and broadcasting towers. The Township is currently a member of the Canadian Radiocommunications Information and

Notification Service (CRINS). The non-profit organization was funded in order to assist municipalities in processing applications for

communication towers. The service is funded by fees collected by the municipality on behalf of CRINS. If a municipality does not have its

own protocol, there is a default Industry Canada procedure that would be used.

Staff have received feedback from cellular proponents and other

municipalities regarding communication issues and delays to the process when using CRINS. Staff are aware of several municipalities

that have revoked their membership. The Township of South Glengarry has been using the default Industry Canada protocol recently, and has

provided positive feedback about the process.

Several cellular towers that were previously endorsed by Council are

now re-applying for authorization and have begun to engage the municipality. In order to expedite review of these applications, staff

are recommending that these proponents go through the Industry Canada protocol. If this process is successful, the Township could

review its continued membership in CRINS and whether the Township should adopt its own protocol.

Options: 1. That Council authorize the use of Industry Canada's Default Public

Date of Meeting: November 22, 2017

Subject: By-law No. 2017-094 A By-law to Amend By-law No. 2011-100 (Larin)

Owner: George & Diane Larin Roll No.: 040600100068015

PLAN 267 LOTS 13 TO 15 geographic Township of Cornwall


Recommendation:

That Council supports proposed Official Plan Amendment No. 34 to the United Counties Official Plan and further, that By-law No. 2017-094, being a by-law to

amend Zoning By-law No. 2011-100 allowing the expansion of the existing general industrial use, be read and passed in open Council, signed and sealed this 22nd day

of November, 2017.

Executive Summary:

Two planning applications have been submitted to the United Counties and the Township. The Official Plan Amendment would re-designate approximately 1.60

acres of land, described as Plan 267, Lots 13 to 15, geographic Township of Cornwall, Township of South Stormont, and a portion of the adjacent road allowance

as shown on the Key Plan,

From: “Urban Settlement Area - Residential District” To: “Urban Settlement Area - Employment District”

The Zoning By-law Amendment would rezone approximately 1.60 acres of land, described as Plan 267, Lots 13 to 15, geographic Township of Cornwall, Township of

South Stormont, and a portion of the adjacent road allowance as shown on the Key Plan,

From: “Residential Single Services First – Holding Zone (RSS1-h)” To: “General Industrial (MM)”

The Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment would allow expansion

of the existing general industrial use located to the south of the subject parcel, at 17451 South Branch Road. There are no new buildings or structures proposed at this

time.

Background:

1. Lots:

The subject property at Plan 267, Lots 13 to 15, geographic Township of Cornwall, Township of South Stormont, and the adjacent undeveloped road

allowance, being the southern portion of Irvin Street, adjacent to Plan 267, Lot 13 to Lot 15, geographic Township of Cornwall, Township of South Stormont, are located within a plan of subdivision approved in 1958. These lots are

significantly undersized in comparison to the current zoning by-law standards for development, are not municipally serviced and do not have access to a

publicly maintained road.

The applicant owns a steel fabrication operation at 17451 South Branch Road and intends to expand the existing business, to include the subject property

and the adjacent road allowance.

2. Present use: The subject property and the adjacent road allowance are currently vacant.

3. Proposed use:

The subject property and the adjacent road allowance would allow for the expansion of an existing steel fabrication operation located at 17451 South Branch Road.

4. Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) 2014:

a. The proposed zoning amendment is located with the urban settlement area. As per policies within the PPS (2014), settlement areas shall be

the focus of growth and development. Section 1.1.3.2 (a) outlines criteria for promoting land use patterns with the settlement area which

allow for densities and mix of land uses, including development that efficiently uses land and resources. The subject lands are currently

vacant, with no municipal services nor access to a public street. Allowing the lands to be rezoned would allow an efficient use of the

vacant land without any negative impact on the natural environment and adjacent uses.


of 43

3

b. As per policies within the PPS (2014), the settlement areas should be developed on municipal water and sewage services. Section 1.6.6.4 further outlines that within settlement areas where municipal sewage

system and water services are not available, private on-site sewage and water services may be used for infilling and minor rounding out of

existing development. The term “minor rounding out” can be interpreted to mean the finishing of the balance of development

existing within the settlement area. The existing operation at 17451 South Branch Road is serviced through private water and septic

system. As part of the subject application, no new structures are being proposed. The proposal can be considered as a minor expansion of the

business and “minor rounding out”, without a significant impact on the existing services on site.

The Provincial Policy Statement requirements appear to have been

satisfied.

1. Official Plan:

a. The SDG County Official Plan designates the subject lands as “Urban Settlement Area - Residential District”

b. The proposed general industrial use is not permitted in the current residential designation of the site.

c. The proposed re-designation to “Urban Settlement Area - Employment District” would allow for the expansion of the industrial use on the subject

lands. Official Plan outlines that employment districts are strategically located along major highways and corridors, to ensure the vitality of such

commercial or industrial operations. The subject lands are located towards the north of South Branch Road, with no access to a public road. The re-

designation of the subject lands would allow a more efficient use of the land and allow expansion of an existing industrial operation along a major

road. d. The new County Official Plan was adopted on July 17, 2017 but is still

under review by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and is not yet in effect. Once the new Official Plan is in effect, County staff intend to bring forward a housekeeping amendment to incorporate any site-specific amendments

approved under the current plan after adoption.

It is recommended Council support the Official Plan amendment to re-designate the lands to permit employment uses.

2. Zoning:

a. The property is currently zoned “Residential Single Services First – Holding Zone (RSS1-h)”

b. The proposed zoning is “General Industrial (MM)” c. The zoning amendment would permit expansion of an existing steel

fabrication operation located at 17451 South Branch Road.


of 43

4

d. The proposed general industrial use is appropriate within the existing context of the subject property, as similar general commercial, highway commercial and general industrial uses are located along South Branch

Road. As the subject lands are located within a plan of subdivision that is land locked, the proposed amendment would allow an efficient use of the

land for expansion of an existing industrial operation.

It is recommended Council support the zoning by-law amendment. 3. Agency/Public Comments

No comments have been received as of November 15th, 2017.

4. Additional Information:

Attachment # 1: Zoning By-law No. 2011-100, Schedule “8” of subject area Attachment # 2: Official Plan map of subject area

5. Road Allowance Closure

As of November 15, 2017, no opposition has been received regarding the proposed closure of the Irvin Street road allowance. Pending receipt of comments at the public meeting and the required survey, a by-law to complete the closure will be presented

ACTION REQUEST

To: Council

Date of Meeting: November 22, 2017

Subject: By-law No. 2017-095 Impose Special Annual Drainage Rates (Wert)

Part Lot 15 and Part Lot 16, Concession 6, Roll No. 040600602045000

Recommendation:

Whereas Council has received an application for tile loan from Daniel and Susan Wert in the amount of $22,900 for the property described as Lots Part

Lot 15 and Part Lot 16, Concession 6, geographic Township of Osnabruck, Township of South Stormont;

Now therefore be it resolved that By-law No. 2017-095, being a by-law to impose special annual drainage rates, be read and passed in open Council, signed and sealed this 22nd day of November, 2017.

Executive Summary:

Tile drainage is a common land practice in Ontario supported by the Province

of Ontario through the Tile Loan Program, authorized by the Tile Drainage Act. The program provides loans to property owners to help finance tile drain projects. Subsequent to completing the tile drainage of approximately 25

acres, an application has been received from Daniel and Susan Wert.

By-law No. 2017-095 A By-law to Impose Special Annual Drainage Rates (Wert)

of 43

2

Background:

All tile loans have 10 year terms and repayments are made annually. Through the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs

(OMAFRA), landowners are eligible for a tile loan of up to 75% of the value of the work to a maximum of $50,000 per property per year. The Province sets

the program interest rate; presently it is 6% and has been for several years. In most situations, an application form is completed and submitted to Council

for approval. Once Council approves the application, the owner arranges to have the work completed by a licenced tile drainage contractor. Mr. Wert has

submitted his Application for Tile Loan in the amount of $22,900 for the property described as Part Lot 15 and Part Lot 16, Concession 6, geographic Township of Osnabruck, Roll No. 040600602045000 subsequent to the

completion of the tile drainage work. The Township has confirmed that OMAFRA will not refuse a debenture because the application was submitted

after the work was completed. Kris St. Thomas, the Township’s appointed tile drain inspector, has inspected

the work and submitted the necessary documents.

Because the work and inspection are complete, the application is presented in conjunction with the necessary debenture by-law.

Financial Impact:

The Township is the facilitator of the program, and save and except the processing of the required documentation including staff resources, there is

no direct financial impact. A fee of $100 is paid by the landowner, being $75 for the inspection and $25 for administration.
