2.1.1 Council held a public meeting to consider a Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment under Sections 34 of the Planning Act, as amended. After the Deputy Mayor adjourned the regular meeting and declared the public meeting open, the CAO advised that notice of the proposed zoning by-law amendment had been given by prepaid first class mail to the property owners within 120 metres of the subject property. A notice was posted on the property and a notice was added to the Town’s website

Mr. Laing advised that the proposed Zoning By-Law amendment would rezone

Part Lot 24 and 25, Concession 2, geographic Township of McDougall, No in the Town of Parry Sound, designated as part of Part 3, Plan 42R-2747, known locally as 139 Louisa Street from a “Restricted Industrial Holding (M1h)” zone and a “Rural (RU)” zone, to a “Special Provision Holding (Sph)” zone. The property proposed for rezoning is shown on the attached plan. The proposed “Special Provision Holding” zone would allow the following uses: - a class I industrial use; - an auto repair garage; - an auto body shop; - a boat repair facility; - a custom workshop; - a mini-warehouse and public storage; - a printing and publishing establishment; - a building supply outlet; - a parking garage; - a service station; - a farm implement dealer; - a marina; - a business office accessory to a permitted use located on the property; - a business office not exceed 160 square metres; - an automotive sales establishment; - a contractor’s or tradesman’s shop or yard; - a machine or welding shop; - a light manufacturing or light industrial undertaking - a truck, transport or bus storage area; - a warehouse; - a public garage; - a retail use accessory to a permitted use on the property - one accessory dwelling occupied by an owner, caretaker or security officer; Once the holding symbol is removed. The holding symbol can be removed once

adequate proof is provided that the proposed use will not require municipal sewer and water services and that an adequate buffer is implemented to buffer the impact of the proposed use on the adjacent residential uses. The effect of the proposed Zoning By-Law amendment is to allow for the future

use of the property for one of these proposed uses.

The Deputy Mayor invited those in favour of this proposed amendment to address Council. John Jackson, acting as agent for the applicant Dr. Kyl-Heku, spoke in favour of the zoning amendment as access to this property would come off the old highway and is some distance from the complainant who provided a letter to Mr. Laing. The Deputy Mayor invited those opposed to this proposed by-law to address Council. No one responded. Mr. Laing advised that he had received 2 pieces of correspondence with regard


-3-

to the proposed zoning amendment. A letter from Wayne and Marilyn Hall, W.E.H. Developments Limited, Wayne Hall Construction Inc. in favour of the proposed amendment. The Halls, adjacent property owners, are in favour as they believe that the area is in close proximity to Highway 400 and the south end business district and would encourage development. A letter from Simon, Fran and Madeleine Stanley, 146 and 154 Louisa Street with objections to the proposed zoning amendment. The Stanleys make their objections to the rezoning due to the possibility of blasting, noise of open industry, increased traffic, deteriorating road conditions, diesel fumes, air pollution, water pollution (all are on wells) and devaluation of their residential properties. The Deputy Mayor advised that Council may at its discretion approve the zoning by-law amendment. If they should do this then notice of passage of the by-law would be provided by circulation of such notice or by advertising in the local newspaper. Any objections to the proposed zoning by-law must be received by the Clerk within 20 days of the date that notice was given. Any objections would be forwarded to the Ontario Municipal Board. The Deputy Mayor further advised that if an appeal is submitted and the appellant has not provided Council with an oral or written submission before the passing of the by-law, then the Ontario Municipal Board may choose to dismiss the appeal.

(Forwarded to file) 5. DEPUTATION 5.1 Tammy Kappes, Part Owner and Broker of Parry Sound Taxi Re: Process for new taxi driver to obtain licenses. Tammy Kappes, part owner of Parry Sound Taxi, provided her concerns about having trouble getting temporary taxi licenses issued to their taxi drivers. It takes some time to have vulnerable sector screening and CPIC’s (Canadian Police Information Centre check) done for each taxi driver. Her concern is that it takes too long for the checks and potential taxi drivers are unwilling to wait that long. The by-law was amended this year to include that temporary licenses may be issued for 60 days until an applicant’s vulnerable sector screening came in, as long as they had a CPIC not more than 1 year old and/or a receipt indicating the application to obtain the vulnerable screening was in process. Ms. Kappes has a concern about the wording in the by-law: “may be issued” as she feels this leaves the issuing of licenses at the discretion of Ms. Purdy and currently there are no parameters as to why a licence would not be issued. She would like the by-law amended to take out the word “may” and parameters provided regarding the issuing of temporary licenses. She would also like Parry Sound Taxi to be allowed to fill out the paper work for prospective drivers to obtain their screening to speed up the process. 5.2 Michelle Cusack, Owner/Operator, Arizona Grill and Patio.

2.1 MOVED BY COUNCILLOR BORNEMAN

SECONDED BY COUNCILLOR MCCAULEY THAT we do now adjourn the regular meeting and declare the public meeting open.

CARRIED 2.1.1 Council held a public meeting to consider a proposed Zoning By-law amendment

under Section 34 of the Planning Act. After the Mayor adjourned the regular meeting and declared the public meeting open, the CAO advised that notice of the proposed zoning by-law amendment had been given by prepaid first class mail to the property owners within 120 metres of the subject property. A notice was posted on the property and a notice was added to the Town’s website.

Mr. Laing advised that the proposed Zoning By-law amendment would rezone part of Parcel “L” Plan No, 137, Town of Parry Sound, District of Parry Sound, more particularly described as part of Part 2, Plan 42R-8512 being part of William Street Park from an “Open Space (O1)” zone to a “Special Provision (Sp)” zone. The proposed “Special Provision” zone would allow single detached dwellings on lots that comply with the “Residential First Density” zone requirements. The effect of the proposed Zoning By-Law amendment will be to allow the creation of three single detached dwelling lots. The Mayor invited those in favour of this proposed amendment to address Council. No one spoke in favour of the amendment. The Mayor invited those opposed to this proposed by-law amendment to address Council. Malcolm Kirk, 141 Williams Street is opposed to this development as it will lessen the size of the park, the property in question is not best suited for building because of its proximity to the river and he feels Parry Sound needs more parkland, not less. When his grandfather sold the land to the Town it was with the understanding that it would be used as parkland. Joe Bossart, 10 Redwood. Mr. Bossart is not necessarily opposed to the proposed by-law amendment but would like to see development in line with Town park policies/development. Mr. Laing advised that he had received (2) pieces of correspondence advising an objection to the proposed by-law amendment. Colin and Valerie Cramp, 129 William Street object due to increased traffic, driveways coming out on a hill, bad road surface and less green space. Lola Este, 44 Riverdale Road objects as the woodlot provides a natural buffer between the park/play area and the residents of adjacent homes. Preservation of the natural space is valuable as a natural habitat for birds and other creatures. While the positive side is that the rezoning and subsequent sale of the land would provide a onetime cash injection for the Town she feels it is outweighed by the need to preserve the buffer. The Mayor advised that Council may at its discretion approve the zoning by-law amendment. If they should do this then notice of passage of the by-law would be provided by circulation of such notice or by advertising in the local newspaper. Any objections to the proposed zoning by-law must be received by the Clerk within 20 days of the date that notice was given. Any objections would be forwarded to the Ontario Municipal Board. The Mayor further advised that if an appeal is submitted and the appellant has not provided Council with an oral or written submission before the passing of the by-law, then the Ontario Municipal Board may choose to dismiss the appeal.

(Forwarded to Director of Community Development for follow-up) 5. DEPUTATION 5.1 OPP Parry Sound Detachment - Staff Sergeant Ron Campbell Re: Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) & Vulnerable Sector Screening

Staff Sergeant Ron Campbell explained the three levels utilized for the Criminal Record Check process. Basic CPIC, Police Records Check and finally Vulnerable Sector Screening. A vulnerable person is defined as a person who, because of their age, a disability, or other circumstances, whether temporary or permanent are (a) in a position of dependence on others or (b) are otherwise at a greater risk than the general population of being harmed by a person in a position or authority or trust relative to them. The basic CPIC check (Canadian Police Information Centre, operated by the RCMP) is a service intended for applicants who are involved in volunteer, employee or in any situation where a basic criminal background check is requested ( i.e. retail or immigration) This search is not intended for applicants who are seeking volunteer and/or employment with vulnerable individuals. A Police Records Check is intended for applicants seeking employment and/or volunteer work with agencies who require a criminal records check along with local police involvement. The agency has determined that a search of pardoned sex offenders is not required; therefore, this search is not intended for applicants who are seeking volunteer and/or employment with vulnerable persons. Finally, the Vulnerable Sector Check is restricted to applicants seeking employment and/or volunteering with vulnerable persons or children. There is a $25.00 cost but no charge for volunteers. The Parry Sound detachment gets over 1,000 requests each year. This process check takes approximately 4-6 weeks. If a fingerprint is required, the RCMP responds. The RCMP sanctioned an electronic finger print screen check and once in place this will speed the process (2-3 days). Right now it takes at least 120 days. RCMP is working on a huge backlog of fingerprints to input into the system.

A question from the audience asked what was the purpose of taking prints when they destroy them? The Staff Sergeant explained that when prints are collected relative to civil screening (including vulnerable sector checks) they are destroyed once the search process is completed. The fingerprints are not added to the RCMP National Repository of Criminal Records and are not searched for future purposes.

5.2 Kris Kappes, one of the owners of Parry Sound Taxi Re: Request to appear before Council on September 18, 2012 Mr. Kappes read the following request to Council: The collective owner and operators of Parry Sound Taxi would like to request that

we have the opportunity to respond to the report and recommendations delivered by Tammy Purdy at the September 4th Council meeting at the Council meeting


-5-

scheduled for September 18th. We were not delivered this report until late Wednesday August 29th with many of us not having the opportunity to read the report until Thursday, with it being a long weekend we have not had adequate time to respond to the accusations and recommendations put forth by Mrs. Purdy, as well as complete a comprehensive plan to move forward.

Mr. Kappes also requested details of the list of Ms. Purdy’s experiences with the

Parry Sound taxi industry identified in her Report and Recommendation. 5.3 Karen Hobson, Town Trading Post and Sue Sullivan, Jeans Unlimited.

Re: Proposed parking meter rate increase. Ms. Hobson said she and Ms. Sullivan are here to present to Council, on behalf of the businesses and services in downtown Parry Sound, a petition against the proposed raise in parking meter fees. Over 600 signatures have been collected in opposition to the proposed meter rate increase. Ms. Hobson and Ms.Sullivan would like to add their objection to the DBA’s objection. Controlled parking is necessary but raising the rates would be detrimental to their business especially when competing with larger retail outlets and services which have complimentary parking. She asks that Council please consider their opinion and the petition and leave the meter rates at their current rates.

5.4 Lis McWalter, Chair of the Parry Sound Downtown Business Association

Re: Proposed parking meter rate increase. Ms. McWalter stated that there is concern by downtown business customers about what seems to be an increase in the number parking tickets issued. A survey done by the DBA in 2011 indicates that parking was one of the most controversial and negative aspects of our downtown. Ms. McWalter provided some financial statistics regarding expenses versus revenues for 2010 and 2011. Her information suggests that in 2010 91% of all expenditures were directly related to parking operation administration, meter maintenance and cost of meter attendants. The deficit after expenses was $37,000. In 2011 that number was 69% of all expenditures and the surplus after expenses was $28,000. She asked if it makes sense to spend $100,000 to collect less than $30,000? She suggested the removal of meters and the generation of revenue through pay stations in the parking lots. She suggested there are other methods to generate revenue such as outsourcing the maintenance. The DBA’s Downtown Revitalization plan is relying on the Town’s commitment this plan. Ms. McWalter is asking Council not to burden the downtown area with an increase in parking meter rates. The DBA is happy to assist with alternatives by meeting with a different group of town representatives.
