REPORT 

The Committee of Adjustment will meet on Thursday, November 22, 2012 to hear the 

following applications: 

Walden & Walden, Agent for Joseph & Daniel Lacey – Consent Application B- 

17/2012 

An application for consent has been made by Walden & Walden, Agent for Joseph and 

Daniel Lacey, for the lands described as Part Lot 5, Concession 8 NER Warwick, 6443 

Townsend Line, requesting permission to sever a 0.8 hectare (2 acres) parcel of land 

with a frontage of 68.8 metres (226 feet). The retained parcel will have a total lot area 

of 18.8 hectares (46.4 acres) with a frontage of 70 metres (230 feet). Both lots will front 

onto Townsend Line. This severance will allow the creation of a new non-farm dwelling 

lot for the existing dwelling and barn which is surplus to the Applicant’s farming 

operation as the result of a farm consolidation. The lands were the subject of an Official 

Plan (OP-03/2012) and Zoning By-law (ZO-07/2012) Amendment that were approved 

by Lambton Shores Council. 

Aaron Lucas Design, Agent for James McConnell – Minor Variance Application A- 

17/2012 

Mr. Lucas, Agent for the Applicant, is requesting approval of a minor variance from the 

provisions of Zoning By-law 1 of 2003 as they relate to lands known as 9668 Rawlings 

Road, Ipperwash, to permit a new single family dwelling that will: 

a) provide a minimum side yard setback of 1.8 metres whereas the By-law requires 

a minimum setback of 2 metres. 

b) provide a minimum rear yard setback of 3.9 metres (from the foundation) 

whereas the By-law requires a minimum setback of 7.5 metres. 

c) allow a second storey balcony to be located 2.28 metres from the rear lot line 

whereas the By-law would allow a second storey balcony to project to within 5.5 

metres from the rear lot line. 

d) provide a minimum front yard setback 3 of 5.38 metres whereas the By-law

equires a setback of 7.5 metres. 

This application was heard by the Committee in October and was tabled in order for the 

Applicant to possibly reposition the proposed dwelling in order to alleviate the concerns 

of the adjoining neighbors. Mr. Lucas has now asked that the application be brought 

back to the Committee. 

If you have any questions or would like more information on the applications, please 

contact Jackie Mason at the Forest Office. 

Respectfully submitted, 

Carol McKenzie

need to be met before an application for an IWT building permit could be submitted. 

These new requirements will be similar to those in a motion that was passed at Bluewater’s Council on Nov 5 th 

2012. The motion asked that some form of bond or insurance be provided by the wind energy company to cover 

the cost of de-commissioning a turbine, pay a development fee, any legal costs that might be incurred by the 

municipality if they get sued, damage to the roads and the municipality's legal expenses. Additional requests 

include that all transmission lines be buried and the municipality's setback bylaw be respected. 

Dave Griffith, a spokeperson for Bluewater Against Turbines advocacy group (B.A.T.) will provide the motion 

details and be available for questions.

Good Evening 

Thank you for this opportunity to speak before Council. 

My name is Karen Kelly-White. And this is Dave Griffith. 

My husband Don White and I moved to Grand Bend in 2009 looking for a better quality of life and that is what we found. 

We love it here. But we, like our neighbours and yourselves, have become concerned about our quality of life with the 

planned Industrial Wind Turbines (IWT) in and around Lambton Shores and all along the Great Lakes’ Coast. 

More research is needed to understand the full negative impacts of IWTs to the community, residents, agriculture & 

tourism industries, natural habitat, Green House Gases & energy costs. Until then we need safeguards. 

We ask, as Lambton Shores is developing agreements and permits for Industrial Wind Turbine (IWT), that these 

requirements be considered. These requirements would need to be met before an application for an IWT building 

permit could be submitted. 

These new requirements will be similar to those in a motion that was passed at Bluewater’s Council on Nov 5 th 2012. The 

motion asked that some form of bond or insurance be provided by the wind energy company to cover the cost of decommissioning 

a turbine, pay a development fee, any legal costs that might be incurred by the municipality if they get 

sued, damage to the roads and the municipality's legal expenses. Additional requests included that all transmission lines 

be buried and the municipality's setback bylaw be respected. 

At the end of the presentation we will ask for your agreement to begin the process of adding these new requirements to 

Lambton Shores’ municipal by-laws and regulations. 

Dave Griffith, a spokesperson for Bluewater Against Turbines advocacy group (B.A.T.) will now provide the specifics. 

Thank-you 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Background: 

Today is Remembrance Day and as the National anthem was sung, we reflected on the sacrifices that many Canadians 

made to protect our quality of life. We have much to be thankful but we all need to do our part. We need to stand 

together and protect our quality of life. 

Please consider why our Ontario government is approving the installation of massive IWTs that 

 

 

 

 

 

will increase Green House Gases 

will increase the cost of energy 

will drive more jobs out of Ontario due to higher energy costs 

will lower property values 

will put some people’s health at risk 

Why the push to install IWTs – is it because the idea is ‘cool’. Just like smoking cigarettes was ‘cool’ decades ago. 

Years ago not many would buy into smoking-related illness. Now a number of provinces are ramping up lawsuits against 

tobacco companies. Ontario launched a lawsuit against 14 tobacco companies in September 2009 in an effort to recoup 

Nov 11, 2012 Page 1 

25

past and present health-care costs related to smoking. The province claims the corporations should be on the hook for 

billions of dollars because they had misrepresented the risks of smoking, did not take steps to reduce the effects and 

marketed cigarettes towards children and teens. This lawsuit has been in the news this month. 

The province is misrepresenting the risks of IWTs. If they must honour IWT contracts they could take the responsible and 

prudent action of increasing the IWTs setbacks to 2 km like Australia has done. 

We ask that you please find the time to spend on this important topic. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Read about IWTs and why we are concerned about 

o The scarring of our natural landscape & impact to wildlife 

o The tearing apart of family and neighbour ties 

o The quality of experience of our visitors and tourists 

o The health and quality of life for residents 

o The vitality of our local economy 

o The rising of energy costs and loss of jobs 

o Eroding property rights and decreasing property values 

Read the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers report on IWTs that outlines 

o Ontario already has excess energy. In 2011 we spent $15 million to export surplus energy 

o Ontario’s energy supply was already 75% free of Green House Gases (GHG) in 2009 

o Ontario uses very little coal and coal is being replaced by gas not by IWTs. And coal will be phased out by 

2014. 

o Adding the planned IWTs will increase Green House Gases 

o Adding the planned IWTs will increase energy costs to the consumer & Municipality 

Consider the landowner who wants to ‘farm’ IWTs. The landowner is responsible for what is produced on 

his/her land and whether it impacts the neighbours. We need the authority to be returned to municipalities so 

they can establish by-laws with larger IWT setbacks to protect the interests of both the individual and the 

community as a whole. 

Consider that Mr McGuinty said that changes are coming to the Green Energy Act that will restore some 

autonomy to municipalities that want to limit the number of wind turbines erected in their jurisdiction. 

Reported by Jonathan Jenkins Feb 27/12. 

Consider that Municipalities have an ethical duty and legal obligation to protect the health, safety, quality of life 

and well being of citizens and their properties. 

Consider why London Life has denied insurance for properties with IWTs. 

Consider why some financial institutions are reviewing lines of credit secured by properties with IWTs. 

Consider what the installation of massive IWTs is doing to Ontario’s agricultural land and how it will impact crop 

production. 

Nov 11, 2012 Page 2 

26

Consider why more than 70 other Ontario municipalities, and the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and 

numerous other groups have asked for a moratorium on IWTs. 

Read the MSN report of Grand Bend being voted the 3 rd top beach area in Canada and consider how this will 

change with massive IWTs 

Thirty miles of beautiful beaches along this Lake Huron coast are equaled only by the spectacular sunsets. 'The 

Bend', just 45 minutes from London, has been attracting tourists since the 1800's. Young sun worshippers strut 

their stuff on the beach at the foot of Main Street, while families looking for a quieter environment often 

gravitate to the beach south of the river mouth. Busy bars, fast food, miniature golf, live theatre — it's fun. The 

very popular Pinery Provincial Park has 1,000 campsites just south of the village. 

Remember how we didn’t have a breath of air/wind during our hot and humid summer. Wind doesn’t blow here 

when we need the energy the most – in the summer. 

Consider where the used and damaged toxic wind turbine blades are going to be dumped. 

Read the 2011 Auditor’s General’s Annual report – renewable energy initiatives. But I have to warn you it’s a 

lengthy report so I’ve summarized some of its findings. 

Although the Ministry consulted with stakeholders in developing the supply-mix directives, the LTEP, and the Green Energy 

and Green Economy Act, billions of dollars were committed to renewable energy without fully evaluating the impact, the 

trade-offs, and the alternatives through a comprehensive business-case analysis. Specifically, the OPA, the OEB, and the 

IESO acknowledged that: 

no independent, objective, expert investigation had been done to examine the potential effects of renewableenergy 

policies on prices, job creation, and greenhouse gas emissions; and 

no thorough and professional cost/benefit analysis had been conducted to identify potentially cleaner, more 

economically productive, and cost-effective alternatives to renewable energy, such as energy imports and 

increased conservation. 

o residential electricity bills will rise another 46% over the next five years 

o the OPA and the IESO acknowledged that when more renewable energy projects under the FIT program are added 

to the grid, the power surplus will grow 

o electricity ratepayers may have to pay renewable energy generators under the FIT program between $150 million 

and $225 million a year not to generate electricity 

o In October 2010, the Ministry cancelled a signed contract with a private-sector developer to build a 900 MW gasfired 

project in the GTA because decreased electricity demand 

o the report didn’t buy the estimate of new jobs. A 2011 survey showed that in the United Kingdom 4 jobs were lost 

elsewhere in the economy for every one new job in the renewable energy sector, primarily because of higher 

electricity prices. 

 

 

Read some of the numerous reports of health problems for people living with IWTs. Read how people are forced 

to leave their family homes because they can’t sleep there anymore. Some of their sleep deprivation and health 

problems are caused by shadow flickers, turbine noise, infrasound, vibration, flashing red aviation lights, and 

stress. One account likened the vibration in the house to being inside a drum and the IWT blade as the drum 

stick. Consider what a performance in the Huron Playhouse will be like being surrounded by the IWTs. 

Read the Peer Review of the scientific study published in the Noise and Health Periodical, available on line, you 

should take the time to read the whole study. There is a slight charge. Here’s an Abstract from the Article 

Industrial wind turbines (IWTs) are a new source of noise in previously quiet rural environments. Environmental noise is a public health concern, of which sleep 

disruption is a major factor. To compare sleep and general health outcomes between participants living close to IWTs and those living further away from them, 

Nov 11, 2012 Page 3 

27

participants living between 375 and 1400 m (n = 38) and 3.3 and 6.6 km (n = 41) from IWTs were enrolled in a stratified cross-sectional study involving two rural 

sites. Validated questionnaires were used to collect information on sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index - PSQI), daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness 

Score - ESS), and general health (SF36v2), together with psychiatric disorders, attitude, and demographics. Descriptive and multivariate analyses were performed 

to investigate the effect of the main exposure variable of interest (distance to the nearest IWT) on various health outcome measures. Participants living within 1.4 

km of an IWT had worse sleep, were sleepier during the day, and had worse SF36 Mental Component Scores compared to those living further than 1.4 km away. 

Significant dose-response relationships between PSQI, ESS, SF36 Mental Component Score, and log-distance to the nearest IWT were identified after controlling 

for gender, age, and household clustering. The adverse event reports of sleep disturbance and ill health by those living close to IWTs are supported. 

 

 

 

 

Consider what Scott Stinson (National Post Nov 4/12) wrote titled ‘McGuinty Liberals’ dream of renewable 

energy has not come to pass’. Here’s a snippet: 

Of greater concern is the problem of when the wind blows and the sun shines. On Oct. 28, for example, one of the windiest 

days of the year, Ontario’s wind energy farms were humming along in the early evening and producing more than 1,450 

megawatts — about 85% of wind capacity. This is highly unusual; in the high-demand summer months, wind routinely 

produces at less than 10% of capacity. But here was a rare day when the wind facilities were doing what they were intended to 

do — and the province was dumping the electricity on the market at a tiny fraction of what it was paying for it. In fact, at 

various points of the day, according to data published by Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator, the province was 

exporting to neighbouring jurisdictions almost the exact same amount it was generating from wind farms. At 3 p.m., it was 

generating 1,432 megawatts of wind — at the mandated rate of ¢13.5 per kw/h — and exporting 1,507 MW at less than ¢3 per 

kw/h. At 4 p.m., it was producing 1,450 MW from wind and exporting 1,425 MW, at the same 80% discount. You get the idea: 

Renewables producing excess energy at the time it is least needed. 

Consider what Lorne Gunter (sunmedia) wrote earlier this year: There may come a day when non-carbon fuels 

make financial sense, but for now alternate-energy projects are simply money pits. And the private companies 

that politicians hail as pioneers in "clean" energy are mostly just subsidy miners. They've simply figured out how 

to make money by extracting big grants from crusading politicians eager to prove their environmental bona fides 

by spending other people's money. 

Consider what Mr McGuinty said about IWTs. "I've got all kinds of communities that want them, I don't 

need the headaches that are associated with them going into communities that don't want them." 

Please protect the health, safety, quality of life and well being of all Lambton Shores citizens and their properties 

from the risks of Industrial Wind Turbines. 

Thank-you

PART A – THE PREAMBLE 

Purpose 

The purpose of this amendment is to allow the creation of a new non-farm dwelling lot for a 

dwelling which is surplus to a farming operation as result of a farm consolidation. 

Location 

The lands affected by this amendment comprise lands described as the North Part of Lot 19 

and South Part of Lot 20, Concession 6, geographic Township of Bosanquet, and known 

municipally as 8903 Northville Road and are shown on Schedule “A” to this Amendment. 

The subject lands are located on the west side of Northville Road, just south of Ravenswood 

Line. 

Basis 

The lands are currently designated “Agriculture”, “Significant Woodlot” and “Environmental 

Protection” in the Lambton Shores Official Plan. 

The “Significant Woodlot” designation affects the rear portion of the lands which are covered 

by a woodlot, and forms part of a larger woodlot on adjacent properties. It is the intent of the 

Official Plan that woodlots are protected, however some harvesting is permitted 

incompliance with good forestry practices. 

The “Environmental Protection and Hazard” designation which traverses the front and the 

midsection of the property coincide with the Golden Creek Drain and those associated areas 

identified as hazardous due to the flooding and erosion. 

The balance of the lands are designated “Agriculture”. The primary use of lands located 

within the “Agricultural” designation include the growing of crops, including nursery and 

horticultural crops; raising of livestock and other animals for food, or fur, including poultry 

and fish; aquaculture; agro-forestry; maple syrup production; and associated on-farm 

buildings and structures including accessory farm dwellings 

The Official Plan indicates that the minimum lot size for agricultural uses shall generally be 40 hectares. The 

proposed retained farm parcel will have a lot area of 29.3 hectares (72.4 acres). The farm parcel as it exists 

today does not meet the minimum lot area policy in the Official Plan. After the severance of the surplus farm 

dwelling, the surplus farm dwelling lot will be only marginally smaller than exists today. 

Section 1.11 of the Lambton Shores Official Plan states: 

A severance to create a new non-farm lot may be permitted for infilling purposes, 

provided Council is satisfied that the lot to be created and the proposed retained farm 

lot comply with the following polices: 

i) infilling will be limited to the creation of one residential lot between two 

existing non-farm residences which are on separate lots of a similar size and 

41

which are situated on the same side of the road and are not more than 61 

metres apart; 

ii) 

iii) 

iv) 

only one non-farm single-detached residential lot will be permitted to be 

severed from an original farm lot; 

the proposed non-farm single-detached dwelling lot meets the requirements of 

the Province, the County, the Health Unit and the Municipality regarding water 

supply and sewage disposal; 

the proposed non-farm single-detached dwelling is located in compliance with 

the Minimum Distance Separation formulae; and 

v) the proposed non-farm single-detached dwelling lot has direct access to an 

improved year round public road and the access does not result in traffic 

hazards due to poor sight lines or proximity to an intersection. 

Provincial Policy Statement 2005 

Section 2.3.1 of the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement states that Prime Agricultural areas 

shall be protected for long-term use for agriculture. 

Further, Section 2.3.4.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement indicates the following: 

Lot Creation in prime agricultural areas is discouraged and may be permitted for: 

c) a residence surplus to a farming operation as a result of farm consolidation 

provided that the planning authority ensures that new residential dwellings are 

prohibited on any vacant remnant parcel of farmland created by severance. The 

approach used to ensure that no new residential dwellings are permitted on the 

remnant parcel may be recommended by the Province, or based on municipal 

approaches which achieve the same objective: and 

The 2005 Provincial Policy Statement defines “residence surplus to a farming operation as 

” an existing farm residence that is rendered surplus as a result of farm consolidation 

(the acquisition of additional farm parcels to be operated as one farm operation). 

Finally, Section 2.3.3.3 states: 

“New land uses, including the creation of lots, and new and expanding livestock 

facilities shall comply with the minimum distance separation formulae.” 

The 1997 Provincial Policy Statement, on which the present Official Plan policies were 

based and which has been superseded by the 2005 Policy Statement, provided the following 

with respect to the creation of new residential lots: 

Lot Creation in prime agricultural Areas is generally discouraged and will be 

permitted only in the following situations: 

42

(a) new lots for residential uses may be permitted for : 

1. a farm retirement lot; 

2. a residence surplus to a farming operation; and 

3. residential infilling. 

Mr. Brad Zantingh is part owner of numerous agricultural and agriculture related companies 

such as JN Ventures Limited and BPS Ventures Inc. which have a land holding in excess of 

1,000 acres as well as extensive animal operations. Mr. Zantingh resides on another 

property and has no use for the dwelling on the subject lands. As a result he would like to 

dispose of it. This would be permitted by the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement, but not the 

Lambton Shores Official Plan which has not been updated to reflect the 2005 Policy 

Statement. 

The Policy Statement requires that the retained farm parcel be zoned to prohibit the 

construction of a new farm dwelling on the lands. The applicant has applied for a zoning 

amendment to prohibit a new dwelling on the farm parcel. 

As well, the Provincial Policy Statement requires that the creation of a lot for surplus 

dwelling comply with the Minimum Distance Separation Formulae (MDS). Currently, Mr. 

Zantingh operates a hog operation on the existing property in the existing barns. He intends 

on discontinuing the operation if the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments are 

approved and phase out the operation after the approval is in place. The zoning on the 

remnant farm parcel will prohibit the use of the existing barns for an animal operation. 

In order to ensure that the animal operation is terminated prior to the new surplus dwelling 

lot being created, I would recommend that the actual official plan and zoning amendments 

prescribe that no lot creation can occur until the animal operation has ceased and the 

manure storage facilities are removed. This will result in any consent approval being subject 

to this condition. 

A horse riding stable exists on lands at the corner of Ravenswood Line and Northville Road. 

According to information in the municipal property file, the stable houses approximately 22 

horses and 10 cows. The Minimum Distance Separation Formulae (MDS) requires the horse 

stable provide a minimum separation from adjacent residential uses of 42 metres. The 

surplus farm dwelling subject of this application is more 260 metres from the closest building 

on the lands, which is the riding arena portion of the operation. 

The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority advises that part of the property is subject to 

flooding and are regulated under the Authority’s Development Interference with Wetlands 

and Alteration to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation 147/06. The property has been 

identified as hazardous due to the flooding and erosion characteristics of the adjacent 

Golden Creek Drainage works. The available information indicates that part of the proposed 

lot is not safe due to flooding. A dwelling however pre-exists on the lot and is entirely located 

within the floodplain and it is noted from review of available information that there is 

sufficient land on the proposed lot, outside of the identified floodplain to accommodate any 

future development, including a vehicular access. As a result the Authority does not object 

to the requested Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments.

_____________________________________________________________________ 

REPORT 

Summary of the Application 

The Applicant, Brad Zantingh Ltd., is requesting: 

Official Plan Amendment Application 

an amendment to the “Agricultural” policies in the Lambton Shores Official Plan to permit the 

creation of a new 0.8 hectare non-farm dwelling lot for a dwelling which is surplus to a farming 

operation as a result of a farm consolidation. 

Zoning By-law Amendment Application 

an amendment to the “Agricultural 1 (A1)” zone in Zoning By-law 1 of 2003, as it affects the 

remnant farm parcel to: 

a) prohibit the construction of a new dwelling on the farm parcel after the severance of the 

surplus dwelling; 

b) have a lot area of approximately 29.3 hectares (72.4 acres); and 

c) prohibit animal operations from being located in the in the existing agricultural buildings. 

The applications are being proposed in order to allow the existing farm dwelling and 

accessory building (carport) to be severed from the farm parcel and sold as a non-farm 

dwelling. The proposed severed dwelling is excess to the owner’s needs as he resides on 

another property. 

Location 

The subject lands are located on the west side of Northville Road, just south of Ravenswood 

Line (see map Attachment 1). The lands are occupied by a dwelling and associated carport 

as well as number of livestock barns, manure storage and grain storage bin. The lands have 

frontage of approximately 307 metres (1,000 ft.) and a lot area of 30.2 hectares (74.6 acres). 

Surrounding lands are under cultivation. A horse riding stable exists on lands at the corner of 

Ravenswood Line and Northville Road. 

Correspondence 

A letter has been received from Corrine Nauta, Chief Building Official and Manager of 

Building Services, County of Lambton (See Attachment 2), advising that the 2 acre lot size 

proposed for the surplus dwelling is acceptable as it meets the Ministry of the Environments 

reasonable use guidelines for septic systems on clay soils. Further, the County records 

indicate that a septic system was installed on 48 the property in 1985 with a permit. Information

in the permit file indicates that the system installed in 1985 generally conforms to the Ontario 

Building Code, Part 8 requirements for septic systems. The County undertook a site 

inspection to verify that the septic system was operating in an effective and efficient manner 

and they advise that there was no evidence of sewage/effluent/discharge on the ground. The 

County advises that all distribution pipes are required to be located a minimum of 3 metres 

from any lot line. 

Geoff Cade of the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority advises (see Attachment 3) 

that a portion of the subject lands are regulated under the Authority’s Development 

Interference with Wetlands and Alteration to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation 

147/06. The property has been identified as hazardous due to the flooding and erosion 

characteristics of the adjacent Golden Creek Drainage works. Portions of the proposed 

severed lot, including the location of the house, have been identified as subject to flooding 

under a Regional Storm event. The Provincial Policy Statement and Authority policy does not 

support the creation of new lots (development) in areas that are subject to flooding.(See Map, 

Attachment 4) 

The Authority has difficulty with the ultimate severance sought and generally seeks a lot 

fabric which does not extend into hazardous areas. The creation of the lot presumes that the 

area is safe for development. The available information indicates that part of the proposed lot 

is not safe due to flooding. A dwelling however pre-exists on the lot and is entirely located 

within the floodplain and it is noted from review of available information that there is sufficient 

land on the proposed lot, outside of the identified floodplain to accommodate any future 

development, including a vehicular access. As a result the Authority does not object to the 

requested Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments. As well, the Authority has no 

concerns with severance of this property, provided the boundaries of the proposed lot are 

consistent with those shown in the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment Applications. 

Discussion 

The lands are currently designated “Agriculture”, “Significant Woodlot” and “Environmental 

Protection” in the Lambton Shores Official Plan. 

The “Significant Woodlot” designation affects the rear portion of the lands which are covered 

by a woodlot, and forms part of a larger woodlot on adjacent properties. It is the intent of the 

Official Plan that woodlots are protected, however some harvesting is permitted incompliance 

with good forestry practices. 

The “Environmental Protection and Hazard” designation which traverses the front and the 

midsection of the property coincide with the Golden Creek Drain and those associated areas 

identified as hazardous due to the flooding and erosion. 

The balance of the lands are designated “Agriculture”. The primary use of lands located 

within the “Agricultural” designation include the growing of crops, including nursery and 

horticultural crops; raising of livestock and other animals for food, or fur, including poultry and 

fish; aquaculture; agro-forestry; maple syrup production; and associated on-farm buildings 

and structures including accessory farm dwellings 

The Official Plan indicates that the minimum lot size for agricultural uses shall generally be 40 

49

hectares. The proposed retained farm parcel will have a lot area of 29.3 hectares (72.4 

acres). The farm parcel as it exists today does not meet the minimum lot area policy in the 

Official Plan. After the severance of the surplus farm dwelling, the surplus farm dwelling lot 

will be only marginally smaller than exists today. I have no concerns with the remnant farm 

parcel size 

Section 1.11 of the Lambton Shores Official Plan states: 

A severance to create a new non-farm lot may be permitted for infilling purposes, 

provided Council is satisfied that the lot to be created and the proposed retained farm 

lot comply with the following polices: 

i) infilling will be limited to the creation of one residential lot between two existing 

non-farm residences which are on separate lots of a similar size and which are 

situated on the same side of the road and are not more than 61 metres apart; 

ii) 

iii) 

iv) 

only one non-farm single-detached residential lot will be permitted to be severed 

from an original farm lot; 

the proposed non-farm single-detached dwelling lot meets the requirements of 

the Province, the County, the Health Unit and the Municipality regarding water 

supply and sewage disposal; 

the proposed non-farm single-detached dwelling is located in compliance with 

the Minimum Distance Separation formulae; and 

v) the proposed non-farm single-detached dwelling lot has direct access to an 

improved year round public road and the access does not result in traffic 

hazards due to poor sight lines or proximity to an intersection. 

Provincial Policy Statement 2005 

Section 2.3.1 of the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement states that Prime Agricultural areas 

shall be protected for long-term use for agriculture. 

Further, Section 2.3.4.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement indicates the following: 

Lot Creation in prime agricultural areas is discouraged and may be permitted for: 

d) a residence surplus to a farming operation as a result of farm consolidation 

provided that the planning authority ensures that new residential dwellings are 

prohibited on any vacant remnant parcel of farmland created by severance. The 

approach used to ensure that no new residential dwellings are permitted on the 

remnant parcel may be recommended by the Province, or based on municipal 

approaches which achieve the same objective: and 

The 2005 Provincial Policy Statement defines “residence surplus to a farming operation as 

” an existing farm residence that is rendered surplus as a result of farm consolidation 

(the acquisition of additional farm parcels to be operated as one farm operation). 

50

Finally, Section 2.3.3.3 states: 

“New land uses, including the creation of lots, and new and expanding livestock 

facilities shall comply with the minimum distance separation formulae.” 

The 1997 Provincial Policy Statement, on which the present Official Plan policies were based 

and which has been superseded by the 2005 Policy Statement, provided the following with 

respect to the creation of new residential lots: 

Lot Creation in prime agricultural Areas is generally discouraged and will be permitted 

only in the following situations: 

(b) new lots for residential uses may be permitted for : 

4. a farm retirement lot; 

5. a residence surplus to a farming operation; and 

6. residential infilling. 

Mr. Brad Zantingh is part owner of numerous agricultural and agriculture related companies 

such as JN Ventures Limited and BPS Ventures Inc. which have a land holding in excess of 

1,000 acres as well as extensive animal operations. Mr. Zantingh resides on another 

property and has no use for the dwelling on the subject lands. As a result he would like to 

dispose of it. This would be permitted by the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement, but not the 

Lambton Shores Official Plan which has not been updated to reflect the 2005 Policy 

Statement. 

The Policy Statement requires that the retained farm parcel be zoned to prohibit the 

construction of a new farm dwelling on the lands. The applicant has applied for a zoning 

amendment to prohibit a new dwelling on the farm parcel. 

As well, the Provincial Policy Statement requires that the creation of a lot for surplus dwelling 

comply with the Minimum Distance Separation Formulae (MDS). Currently, Mr. Zantingh 

operates a hog operation on the existing property in the existing barns. He intends on 

discontinuing the operation if the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments are approved 

and phase out the operation after the approval is in place. The zoning on the remnant farm 

parcel will prohibit the use of the existing barns for an animal operation. 

In order to ensure that the animal operation is terminated prior to the new surplus dwelling lot 

being created, I would recommend that the actual official plan and zoning amendments 

prescribe that no lot creation can occur until the animal operation has ceased and the manure 

storage facilities are removed. This will result in any consent approval being subject to this 

condition. 

A horse riding stable exists on lands at the corner of Ravenswood Line and Northville Road. 

According to information in the municipal property file, the stable houses approximately 22 

horses and 10 cows. The Minimum Distance Separation Formulae (MDS) requires the horse 

stable provide a minimum separation from adjacent residential uses of 42 metres. The 

surplus farm dwelling subject of this application is more 260 metres from the closest building 

on the lands, which is the riding arena portion of the operation. 

51

The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority advises that part of the property is subject to 

flooding and are regulated under the Authority’s Development Interference with Wetlands and 

Alteration to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation 147/06. The property has been 

identified as hazardous due to the flooding and erosion characteristics of the adjacent Golden 

Creek Drainage works. The available information indicates that part of the proposed lot is not 

safe due to flooding. A dwelling however pre-exists on the lot and is entirely located within the 

floodplain and it is noted from review of available information that there is sufficient land on 

the proposed lot, outside of the identified floodplain to accommodate any future development, 

including a vehicular access. As a result the Authority does not object to the requested 

Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments. 

Zoning 

The subject lands are zoned “Agricultural 1 (A1)”, “Environmental Protection - Woodlot (EP- 

WD)” and “Environmental Protection - Hazard (EP-H)” in the Lambton Shores Zoning By-law. 

The “Environmental Protection - Woodlot (EP-WD)” zone affects the rear portion of the lands 

which are occupied by a woodlot. 

The “Environmental Protection - Hazard (EP-H) Zone” traverses the front and the midsection 

of the property and coincides with the Golden Creek Drain and those associated areas 

identified as hazardous due to the flooding and erosion. The existing dwelling is located 

within in this zone. 

The balance of the lands are zoned “Agricultural 1 (A1)”. The predominant permitted use in 

this zone is agriculture and associated buildings and structures. 

The “A1” zone requires that a farm parcel have a minimum lot area of 38 hectares and a 

minimum lot frontage of 150 metres. The lands which are to be retained in agricultural use 

will have a lot area of 29.3 hectares (72.4 acres) and a lot frontage of approximately 170 

metres (560 feet). The lot frontage complies with the by-law, but the lot area id deficient. Any 

zoning placed on the remnant farm parcel should recognise the deficient frontage. The “A1” 

zoning on these lands permits an accessory farm dwelling as a permitted use. The zoning on 

the remnant farm parcel will be amended to prohibit the construction of a new non-farm 

dwelling as is required by the Provincial Policy Statement. 

The Agricultural 1 (A1) Zone requires that a non-farm dwelling lot have a minimum lot area of 

0.8 hectares and a minimum lot frontage of 45 metres. The surplus dwelling lot is proposed 

to have a lot area of approximately 0.82 hectares and a lot frontage of 134 metes and thus 

complies with the minimums established in the “A1” zone. 

Servicing 

The proposed non-farm residential lot is serviced by a private septic system and municipal 

water. Corrine Nauta, Chief Building Official and Manager of Building Services, County 

of Lambton, advises that the 2 acre lot size proposed for the surplus dwelling is acceptable 

as it meets the Ministry of the Environments reasonable use guidelines for septic systems on 

clay soils. Further, she advises the County records indicate that a septic system was installed 

on the property in 1985 with a permit. Information in the permit file indicates that the system 

52

installed in 1985 generally conforms to Part 8 of the Ontario Building Code which are the 

requirements for septic systems. The County undertook a site inspection to verify that the 

septic system was operating in an effective and efficient manner and they advise that there 

was no evidence of sewage /effluent/discharge on the ground. 

Summary 

In light of the above, I can recommend that these applications be approved, subject to the 

Official Plan and Zoning containing the policies and regulations outlined in the 

recommendation section of this report, as they are consistent with the Provincial Policy 

Statement.

Zoning By-Law Amendment 

I have reviewed the above noted application and provide the following comments for your consideration. The 

proposed lot size of 2 acres is acceptable to this Department with respect to the Ministry of the Environment 

“Reasonable Use’ guidelines for the 1 acre requirement in sandy soils and 2 acres in clay soils. The retained 

portion meets the guidelines and this Department has no concerns with the same. 

There are records in our possession for 8903 Northville Road. The permit number and installation date is SL- 

184-85 (1985), respectively which confirms the septic system on this property. The septic system generally 

conforms to the Ontario Building Code, Part 8, as required. 

A site inspection has been conducted to ensure that the septic system is operating in an efficient and effective 

manner. There is no evidence of sewage effluent/discharge on the ground. 

The only comment to be made is that all distribution piping shall meet the property line setback of 10 feet in all 

directions. 

This Department has no concerns with respect to the zoning by-law amendment, as proposed. 

If you require any further information, please contact this office.

system requires replacement or additional treatment capacity is 

required. The size and location of the sewage system envelope shall 

be determined in accordance with the Ontario Building Code and the 

manufacturer’s specifications. Under no circumstances shall any 

buildings or structures (i.e. sheds, pools etc.) be located within the 

sewage system envelope. 

5 

(B) Under the Ontario Building Code, the Operator of the tertiary sewage 

system required for PART 1 must enter into a servicing and 

maintenance agreement with the sewage system manufacturer. In 

addition to the testing requirements under the Ontario Building Code,

Use Criteria. The monitoring results must be forwarded to the County 

of Lambton which will provide administration and manage the records 

and ensure compliance as required. The costs associated with the 

nitrate testing must be borne by the Owner of the sewage system 

and, should it be found that the nitrate levels exceed the MOE’s 

Reasonable Use criteria at any time, the owner of the sewage system 

will be responsible for taking any actions necessary to remedy the 

situation and forwarding evidence of compliance to the County.

TO: 

FROM: 

RE: 


Brent Kittmer, Director of Community Services 

Carillion Agreement for Connecting Links through Forest and Grand Bend 


That Carillion Canada Inc. be subcontracted to perform the 

routine winter maintenance for the Highway #21 connecting 

links in Forest and Grand Bend; and further 

That that By-law 123-2012 authorizing the Mayor and Clerk 

to sign the associated contract agreement be approved. 

REPORT 

As council is aware Highway 21 is owned by the province and maintained through an 

agreement with Carillion Canada Inc. The connecting link sections of Highway 21 

through Forest (Main Street South and King Street East) and Grand Bend (Ontario 

Street) are the responsibility of Lambton Shores. Through the winter months Carillion is 

responsible for snow plowing the bulk of Highway 21 with the Municipality responsible 

for the ‘connecting links’ through the urban area of each town. 

Historically the Municipality has made an agreement with Carillions to snow plow the 

Connecting Links in Lambton Shores. This achieves greater efficiency as the Carillion 

trucks travel along that route regardless of whether they are plowing it or not. The 

Community Services Department believes that this arrangement has been mutually 

beneficially for both parties. 

The most recent Carillion agreement was for a two year period of the winters of 

2010/2011 and 2011/2012. Community Services staff recommend continuing with the 

same agreement for another two year period covering the winters of 2012/2013 and 

2013/2014.

FROM: 

RE: 


Janet Ferguson, Treasurer 

Draft Year to Date Operating and Capital Statements for the period ending 

October 31, 2012. 


That the Draft Year to Date Operating and Capital 

Statements for the period ending October 31, 2012 be 

accepted as presented. 

REPORT 

Attached to this report is the draft year to date Operating and Capital financial 

statements for the period ending October 31, 2012. The Department Heads have 

provided comments on the activities in the various business units. This report is a brief 

update on the point in time with many activities still taking place before the end of 2012 

that will impact our financial position. 

Clerks Comments 

General 

Lottery License revenue is slightly under the estimates, which may be due to the fact 

that last year a change in legislation allowed multiple Nevada boxes on one license. 

Advertising – there have been larger than normal ads this year, and we have been 

trying to ensure that the size is large enough that people can read the ads. 

Planning 

The fees for the smaller applications such as minor variances and consents are right on 

target for this time of year, and revenues exceed estimates in the Official Plan and zone 

amendment accounts, primarily due to severances of surplus farm dwellings; however, 

larger projects, such as subdivisions, and site plans are still slower than normal. 

Building 

The permit revenue for 2012 is exceeding the estimates, due in large part to the permit 

fee for the 49 unit apartment building in Grand Bend. It is important to note that any 

revenue collected that exceeds the cost to administer and enforce the Building Code 

Act must be put into a reserve for use in future years when expenses exceed revenues. 

89

We continue to be very prudent with the use of the contract staff to maintain control over 

the expenditures. 

By-Law 

The season for issuing parking infractions is just about at an end, however, revenue will 

continue to be received for the balance of the year. The YTD figure for by-law 

enforcement includes the extras allocated for Main Street Parking, Beach Patrol and 

Short Term Rental monitoring for the summer enforcement, and the balance of the year 

should bring us back in line with the budget. Some of the other expense accounts also 

reflect the increased enforcement costs for the “short term rentals”, such as the 

purchase of decibel readers. 

The revenues for animal control are under, due primarily to the fact people are 

becoming more aware of the cost to retain a dog that is collected and taken to the 

Sarnia Humane Society. 

Cemeteries 

The revenues are on target for this time of year, and are exceeded in the Beechwood 

Cemetery. 

Director of Community Services Comments 

Tree trimming is over budget and will continue to grow. A dry summer combined with 

ash borer has caused a lot of issues. The recent storm clean-up will further impact this 

line. 

Loose top Maintenance- We have spent a lot of time on this maintenance this year and 

are still doing catch up. We will continue to monitor this need and may require a higher 

allocation in the 2013 budget. 

Our street sweeper is heavily utilized across both zones and has experienced some 

large repairs this year. 

Beach Operations – as previously commented, we had exceptionally good weather over 

the summer so there was a lot of staff time required in this area. This is also reflected 

positively in parking revenues. 

Solid Waste – WDO funding will not be received for 2012 as anticipated, creating a 

shortfall in anticipated revenue. Curbside collection services appear to be estimated low 

for 2012, and will be over-budget because of this. 

Water – Budget is on track for 2012. 

Wastewater – Budget is on track for 2012.

Recreation & Leisure 

At first glance the Communities in Bloom expenses appear to be considerably over 

budget, however the revenue amount in the CIB Fundraising/Donations/Grant is higher 

than anticipated and compensates for the over expenditures.. 

Ongoing projects such as the - Living in Lambton Shores Promotion budget will be fully 

expended with the Leisure Guide costs.

Industrial Wind Turbines - Information Report 


For review, discussion and further direction. 

REPORT 

There are 2 Industrial Wind Turbines (IWT) projects proposed for the Municipality of 

Lambton Shores that are working through the Provincial “Renewal Energy Application” 

approvals process: 

Cedar Point Wind Project, which is a project by Suncor in the 

Municipalities of Lambton Shores, Plympton-Wyoming and Warwick. 

The current plan has 62 wind turbines, (24 shown as being in Lambton 

Shores) with an estimated nameplate capacity of up to 100 M.W., and is 

scheduled for commercial operation in summer of 2014. This project was 

awarded a Feed In Tariff (FIT) contract in July of 2011. 

Suncor’s current plan is for the final provincially required public open house to be 

held in January of 2013, and has recently provided the Municipality with the 

DRAFT project documents for review, with comments required by mid January. 

These are the same documents that are required to be provided for public review 

a minimum of 60 days before the public meeting. 

Jericho Wind Inc. is a project by Nextera in the Municipalities of Lambton 

Shores, Warwick and North Middlesex, and is proposed to have 

approximately 92 wind turbines, (approximately 80 in Lambton Shores) 

with an estimated nameplate capacity of 150 M.W. This project has also 

been awarded a Feed In Tariff (FIT) contract. 

The DRAFT project documentation on the Nextera Project was submitted on November 

8 th , and it is anticipated that the final provincially mandated public meeting will be 

scheduled in February of 2013. 

The plans to bring a number of Industrial Wind Turbines (IWT) into the area have 

caused conflict within the Lambton Shores’ community, as some residents have signed 

contracts with the Wind Energy companies and are in favor of the projects proceeding, 

100

whereas other residents in the community have serious concerns regarding the 

Industrial Wind Turbines projects. 

These concerns are not isolated, as wind and solar energy projects developed or being 

developed under the “Green Energy Act” have become very controversial across the 

Province. Council has expressed its concerns to the Premier several times and has 

supported calls for moratoriums until the concerns have been addressed. More and 

more municipalities are requesting and petitioning the Provincial government to slow the 

approval process until more information is available on the impact of Industrial Wind 

Turbines not only on the health of residents, but also on the possible impact on property 

values, rural environment, wildlife and natural and sensitive areas. 

Turbines are not new to Lambton Shores as wind energy projects were approved in 

Lambton Shores several years ago. As these projects were prior to enactment of the 

“Green Energy Act” (GEA) and were subject to municipal regulations, the Planner 

undertook an in depth review of the issues and the community concerns and prepared 

the Official Plan amendment, (See Attachment # 1 and 1.5), and Zoning By-law 

Provisions (See Attachment # 2) as well as a development agreement. (See 

Attachment # 3) The agreement addressed issues such as ensuring the municipality 

was indemnified against all claims and liability associated with the development 

(including maintenance and operation of the units), regulated open storage, road 

maintenance, inspection of site services, and included a decommissioning plan, 

operation protocols and emergency services plans - many of the issues that are 

required today. 

The main differences between the past projects and the current proposals are the 

number of Industrial Wind Turbines being proposed, and the fact that local planning 

rules and regulations are not applicable, as Provincial regulations related to sustainable 

energy projects supersede regulations enacted by local municipalities. 

The “Green Energy Act” entrusts the decisions with respect to the location, placement 

and noise levels of the turbines (among other issues) solely with the Province, and the 

provisions and requirements prescribed in the Act and its regulations are not subject to 

change or amendment by a municipality. 

While the Provincial goal with the “Green Energy Act” was to “develop consistent 

standards for a provincially led process for renewable energy projects, with clear, 

consistent rules and standardized technical requirements across the province”, many 

people have been voicing concerns with the lack of local decision making. 

Several municipalities have passed by-laws with prohibitions that exceed the Provincial 

mandates, including requiring: 

1. For construction, erection or operation of any IWT inside the Municipality, there 

shall be a minimum setback of a distance of 2 km from any property measured 

from the tip of the rotor blade in the horizontal position; 

101

2. In any case, noise emitted by the IWT shall not exceed 32dB at the nearest 

property; 

3. The Developer shall provide an indemnification of 100% for any loss of property 

value or adverse health effect directly or indirectly caused by an IWT. 

These municipalities made the decision to pass by-laws in opposition to “Green Energy 

Act”, and are willing to take the fight to the Courts, if need be. We have received advice 

that a by-law enacted without the legislative authority, and more importantly, in 

opposition to a Provincial Act, would be unenforceable and attempting to enforce the bylaw 

in the Courts would be very costly, with little chance of success. 

Some powers and control still remain with the Municipality under other Acts, (such as 

the Municipal Act), and by-laws can be passed as long as they do not frustrate the 

purposes of a Provincial Act. 

MUNICIPAL OPTIONS 

Council asked for a report to be prepared on what legally can be done to protect the 

municipal assets and community’s infrastructure investment and that is the essence of 

this report. Note: This is not intended to be an exhaustive list of issues, but a 

starting point for discussion. 

POLICIES 

1. Wind Turbine Development Policy 

As stated earlier, the Municipality has prior experience with Development Agreements 

for wind energy projects; however, the provisions of the agreements were drafted prior 

to the “Green Energy Act”. The rules are different under the Green Energy Act, and in 

order to clarify the municipal expectations, it is recommended that a “Municipal Wind 

Turbine Development Policy” be approved, which would include general provisions with 

respect to Municipal requirements. 

(See Attachment # 4 – Draft Wind Turbine Development Policy) 

The main purposes of the policy would be to establish the requirement of an application 

fee for the municipal consultation form review, and the requirement for a development 

agreement between the wind energy company (developer) and the municipality. 

The “Municipal Consultation Form” (MCF) is to be completed by the Municipality, and 

submitted to the energy company for consideration, and to be submitted with the “REA” 

application. (PL Report No. 39-2012, considered at the November 5, 2012 meeting 

provided more information on the MCF) The form asks for comments on issues such 

as location of project with respect to infrastructure and servicing, road access, traffic 

management plans, service connections, landscaping, emergency management, safety 

protocol, easements and covenants, rehabilitation, fire hydrants, drainage, waterworks, 

102

sanitary sewers, utilities, natural heritage, significant resources and building code 

issues. There is a significant amount of municipal staff time required to review the 

material, co-ordinate information and complete the form. 

In order to ensure that the municipal costs to review the document and submitting the 

form are covered, it is recommended that a “Municipal Consultation Form application 

fee” be considered, together with a deposit to cover any municipal review costs. 

Item 2 on the draft policy states: 

That a Municipal Consultation Form Application Fee be established, and that in 

addition to the fee, the Developer be required to provide a deposit in the amount 

of $5,000.00 to cover the Municipal costs for any expert review required to 

complete the form. 

In order to clarify that a Development Agreement would be required to address all 

municipal concerns, the policy would require: 

The Municipal Consultation Form will include a requirement that the Developer 

enter into an agreement with the Municipality of Lambton Shores to satisfy all the 

requirements, financial and otherwise, of the Municipality concerning the 

development. 

A list of general items that could be included in the development agreement is provided 

in the draft policy. 

The suggested list for inclusion include items that are already required by the Province, 

however, by including the requirements or confirmations of approvals in the agreement 

between the Municipality and the Developer, it may help to clarify expectations, 

obligations and responsibilities and give the community an additional level of comfort. 

2. Tree Retention and Replacement Policy 

The goal would be to ensure that trees on the Right-of-ways are protected, and not 

removed, injured, pruned or destroyed if possible. Details on any proposed tree removal 

would be required, and if removal was the only option, the policy would dictate the 

number of replacement trees, type of tree, and acceptable locations for replanting, all of 

which would be determined based on the size and type of tree(s) to be removed. 

PERMITS 

Permits are important as they not only dictate the conditions under which the permit 

would be granted but also the conditions under which a permit may be revoked. 

Appropriate permit fees and deposits amounts would be determined. The municipality 

has several of the below policies in place, which would be reviewed and updated to 

ensure all issues pertaining to turbines are included. 

1. Excess Load Permits 

103

The completion of the application would provide contact information on the contractor, 

and details on the proposed time and date of the move, and details on the size of the 

vehicle and the weight of the load, as well as the intended route. This would allow for 

review of the information in advance, ensure conformity with the “haul route” information 

provided and that road use conflicts do not arise. 

2. Road Cut Permits 

Similarly, the completion of the “Road Cut” application would provide contact 

information for the contractor, and details on the proposed type of cut, and would list the 

municipal requirements, such as the service locates required and the level of 

remediation expected. 

3. Entrance permits 

Entrance permits for the “access roads” would require information and drawings 

showing the location, culvert, width, pipe size etc to be submitted and reviewed to 

determine any conflicts with “site lines” or municipal drains. 

4. Constructing Near Municipal Drains and Drain Crossing Permit 

The recommended provisions to be included in the permit are detailed later in the report 

in the “Development Agreement” section re: Drains. 

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS 

The draft “Wind Turbine Development Policy” requires the Developer to enter into an 

agreement with the Municipality of Lambton Shores to satisfy all the requirements, 

financial and otherwise, of the Municipality concerning the development. Provincial 

documents reviewed encouraged renewable energy project developers to enter into 

reasonable agreements with the “Host municipality”. 

The Municipality has a number of development agreements with “Developers” of 

subdivisions or commercial buildings, and it is anticipated that a similar agreement with 

similar obligations would be prepared with the developers that are benefitting from these 

project. The municipal solicitor would review any draft agreement to ensure the 

municipal concerns and liability would be covered. 

APPLICATION FEE 

The current fees for a standard Development Application are: 

Application fee: $ 3,500.00 

Agreement Preparation fee: a percentage of the servicing costs 

Initial Deposit for Peer review and site inspection: $ 5,000.00 with a provision for 

additional funds to be paid when required 

Applicable fees for these development agreements would be researched. 

104

GENERAL PROVISIONS 

1. Performance Guarantee and Agreement Compliance 

One of the standard conditions in a Development Agreement is the requirement of a 

“performance guarantee” in the form of a letter of credit or performance bond to ensure 

compliance with the obligations. The amount of the security is usually based on the 

value of the works or services, or in this case, it could be the estimated cost to repair 

any damage to municipal infrastructure. In the agreement, a requirement that the 

developer acknowledges the right of the Municipality to draw on the security to enforce 

the provisions of the agreement would be included. 

2. Insurance 

Standard agreement clauses include the requirement for the “Developer” to save the 

municipality harmless from any “claim, loss, costs, damages, or other expenses, or any 

incidental or indirect claim” arising from the “works” and for the provision of a certificate 

of sufficient liability insurance, naming the municipality as an additional insured. 

3. Mediation and Arbitration: 

Agreement usually contains clauses that would provide the methodology for conflict 

resolution between the two parties. An important item to include would be that the 

mediation/arbitration would take place in Lambton Shores. 

4. Assigning the Agreement 

The clause in the agreement that would deal with assigning the rights under the 

agreement to another company would require any subsequent owner to agree to 

assume all obligations and liability of the “developer” and provide for replacement 

assurances, insurance, deposits and guarantees, to the satisfaction of the municipality. 

5. Default 

The default section would list the actions that would take place in the event of a default 

of the terms of the agreement by the Developer. 

ROAD USE PROVISIONS 

The projects will require the use of municipal roads and there needs to be assurances 

that the community’s investment in the roads infrastructure is protected. 

In addition to the requirement to provide deposits to ensure repair to any damage 

resulting from the “works”, some agreements require the payment of road users fees, 

whereas others are contingent on the payment of an “Annual Community Development 

(or Vibrancy) Fund” as an acknowledgement of the “social, environmental and 

developmental impacts on the community”. These options will be further detailed on 

future reports. 

105

Items that could be included as part of the roads component of the development 

agreement or in a “Road Use” agreement would be: (In no particular order) 

The Developer shall: 

RU 1) ensure plans for the proposed works are submitted to and approved by the 

municipality prior to commencement. 

RU 2) submit the proposed traffic plan and “haul routes” for approval by the 

municipality, prior to work commencing. 

RU 3) Routing plans and locations for distribution lines within the municipal road 

allowance to be submitted for review and approval by the municipality. 

RU 4) provide securities in X amount to guarantee compliance with the 

agreement requirements, and ensure the restoration and/or repair of any road 

damage. 

RU 5) prior to work commencing, provide an assessment, to the satisfaction of 

the municipality, of all roads, intersections, bridges, culverts etc. to be used or 

affected during the project. 

RU 6) provide a video recording of the existing conditions of the roads, road 

allowances, intersection, bridges, culverts, etc that will be used or affected during 

the project. 

RU 7) No later than X months after the work is completed, provide an 

assessment, to the satisfaction of the municipality, of all roads, intersections, 

bridges, culverts etc. used or affected during the project. 

RU 8) No later than X months after construction/commercial operation date, 

provide a video of the conditions of the roads, road allowances, intersections, 

bridges, culverts, etc that were used during the project and arrange to repair any 

deficiency to the municipality’s satisfaction. 

RU 9) agree to repair any project related deficiencies and/or damage to the 

municipal infrastructure, to the municipality’s satisfaction prior to the release of 

securities. 

RU 10) be responsible for the reasonable maintenance of the haul roads or roads 

used during construction, including dust control, grading, repairs, restoration to 

ensure a safe condition at all times, and so that the roads are able to support 

emergency service vehicles at all time. 

106

RU 11) Provide “as built drawings” for the distribution lines and facilities, in both 

paper and digital formats, showing the location of the new utility in relation to the 

existing utilities. 

RU 12) be required to obtain permission from the municipality prior to change to 

any approved plan. 

RU 13) agree that the project will have the non exclusive right to use the road. 

RU 14) acknowledge that the Half load season limits will apply to the project. 

RU 15) submit plans for the proposed “staging areas” and “crane roads” if on 

municipal roads. 

RU 16) be required to obtain permission from the municipality for the use of any 

unopened road allowances. 

RU 17) agree to be responsible for access for vehicles on any unopened roads, 

or road that is not municipally maintained in the winter. 

RU 18) mark the location of any services located on an unopened road 

allowance. 

ROADS PROVISIONS - GENERAL 

RG 1) no access roads will be permitted through municipal property or using 

existing municipal access roads. 

RG 2) in accordance with the municipal policy, municipal permission is required 

prior to any removal of any tree from the Municipal road allowance. Tree 

replacement will be accordance with the “Tree Retention and Replacement 

Policy”. 

RG 3) the developer and municipality will jointly determine the process for 

relocating the project’s infrastructure in the future if necessary. 

RG 4) if it is necessary for a road to be closed, the developer will follow the 

municipal road closing protocol. 

RG 5) the municipality shall have the authority to order the stoppage of work or 

cessation of activities on the highway where the conditions of the agreement 

have not been met. 

RG 6) in addition to the requirement to call for locates prior to undertaking work, 

the developer will be required to participate in the “Ontario One Call” program to 

reduce damages in the future to underground facilities and promote safe 

excavations. 

107

NOISE COMPLAINT PROTOCOL 

One of the concerns raised by residents is the noise emanating from the turbine 

operations. There needs to be assurances from the Developer that a process is in place 

to expeditiously resolve residents concerns related to noise. 

In other areas, the developer provided “message centres” with an on call operator, and 

also, established a website where residents could report issues. 

The developer would be required to provide details on the process that would be 

followed when complaints are received and the intended process to resolve issues and 

would also be required to maintain a log of all calls received and include the manner in 

which the concern was addressed by the developer. 

COMPLAINT PROTOCOL 

Similar to the Noise Complaint Protocol, the developer would be required to provide 

information on the process to address other concerns residents may have, such as 

communication disruptions or issues pertaining to the construction or personnel. 

As with the Noise Complaint Protocol, the developer would be required to provide 

details on the process that would be followed when complaints are received and the 

intended process to resolve issues and would be required to maintain a log of all calls 

received and include information on how the concern was addressed by the developer. 

DECOMMISSIONING OF TURBINES 

The assurance that the decommissioning of the turbines takes place at the end of the 

project life is a Provincial responsibility, and the “Decommissioning Plan” is part of the 

report that the companies are required to provide for the Provincial “REA” application 

submission. The stated purpose of the plan is to provide information on the “closure 

plan” for the project and how the developer proposes to remove the facility components 

and restore the project location to an acceptable condition for its intended use. Details 

on the plans for dealing with the electrical infrastructure, substation and switching 

stations and access roads are also provided to the Province, as is a site restoration 

plan. 

Some municipalities are not satisfied with leaving the assurances for the 

decommissioning with the Province and are asking for security in the form of a bond or 

letter of credit to guarantee the turbines and appurtenances are properly removed at the 

end of the project. The legalities of this are still being investigated, and further 

information will be provided in future reports. 

DRAINS 

Municipal drains are constructed to improve the drainage of agricultural land and serve 

as the discharge point for private agricultural tile drainage systems. Drains are a vital 

component of the rural infrastructure, and can be manmade ditches, closed tile systems 

108

or natural watercourses that have been modified to improve drainage. The rural 

community and the Municipality have made a significant investment in the drainage 

infrastructure and it is important to ensure it is protected. 

(The protection and re-routing of tile drainage on the property with the turbine would be 

the responsibility of the land owners) 

The development agreement (or separate “Drainage” agreement) could require that: 


D 1) work with the Drainage Superintendent to review all municipal drains on the 

“subject lands” or affected highways. 

D 2) prior to work commencing, provide plans and specification and methodology 

on the proposed municipal drain crossings, for approval by the Municipality. 

D 3) ensure that a drain report update is completed in all instances where 

changes to lands affect the directional flow of any surface or subsurface water 

that is part of a municipal drain. 

D 4) provide sufficient deposits to ensure the report updates required in D3 are 

completed. 

D 5) after the drain crossing is completed, submit 2 copies of design plans, 

specifications, and stamped engineered drawings. 

D 6) provide a site drainage and grading plan for each property. 

D 7) ensure silt fencing (or other protection) is erected when working near open 

municipal drains or natural watercourses. 

D 8) Provide storm water management reports for the subject lands, when 

required. 

EMERGENCY RESPONSE 

Under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (EMCPA), municipalities in 

Ontario are required to have an emergency response plan as part of their emergency 

management programs. The Municipality of Lambton Shores has an Emergency 

Response Plan, however, it was prepared prior to the arrival of the commercial wind 

energy projects, and the document will need to be updated to include “Emergency 

Response Protocols” for turbines. 

For emergency response, the Municipality of Lambton Shores contracts with the Ontario 

Provincial Police for police protection ( through the Lambton Group), the County of 

Lambton is responsible for EMS (Ambulance) and well trained community volunteers 

provide fire protection. It will be imperative that all emergency service providers receive 

the information and training pertaining to possible emergency situations at wind turbine 

developments. 

109

Items for consideration for the “Emergency Response” portion of the Development 

Agreement include: 


ER 1) acknowledge that it is responsible for all emergency response relating to 

the turbine, and that the municipal or local response will be limited to caring for 

and transporting victims once on the ground, guarding against the spread of fire, 

fighting fires in operations or accessory buildings, emergency scene 

management, and/or investigating criminal activities. 

ER 2) ensure that an emergency response plan for personnel operating the 

turbines is available, and all staff are aware of their duties and responsibilities, 

and are fully trained on the procedures and protocols. The Developer shall also 

ensure that regular drills are carried out and, that the required safety equipment 

is available. 

ER 3) ensure personnel are trained in High Angle and Confined Space rescue 

procedures and/or enter into a contract with a High Angle Service Provider. 

ER 4) provide any specialized equipment for High Angle rescue that is required. 

ER 5) provide the Municipality with copies of the emergency response protocols 

for: 

i) fire or explosion 

ii) injury/ trauma 

iiii) high angle or confined space rescue 

iv) collapse or collision 

v) environmental spills 

vi) Site evacuation. 

ER 6) If required by the Municipality, provide training in High Angle and Confined 

Space rescue procedures to emergency responders (for information purpose 

only), prior to the commencement of the operation of the project. 

ER 7) If required by the Municipality, provide information and/or comprehensive 

training for emergency responders respecting any other possible emergency, 

including appropriate WHMIS training. 

ER 8) post a sign at each IWT access road, listing the turbine number, municipal 

address (number and street), contact name and address of the Project manager, 

(including a telephone number that can be used 24 hours day) and hazmat 

symbols for all onsite materials. 

110

ER 9) ensure that all emergency service providers and the CAC Dispatch Centre 

have current contact names, addresses, and 24 hour telephone numbers for 

project manager(s). 

The emergency responders and Joint Health and Safety Committee would be requested 

to review the proposed drafts and amend or augment the requirements. 

Miscellaneous Provisions 

Other items that may not fit a specific category for consideration: 


M 1) Provide confirmation that any Federal and Provincial requirements, if 

applicable, have been met: 

i. Transport Canada, 

ii. Fisheries and Oceans 

iii. Environment Canada (Migratory birds) 

vi) Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act 

v) Aggregate Permits 

vi) “Endangered Species Act” 

vii) Ministry of Transportation 

M 2) provide details on the shut down provisions for high wind, icing, or other 

events that would pose a safety risk. 

M 3) advise the municipality of any non compliance with Provincial regulations 

during the project. 

M 4) confirm that there are no siting conflicts between the turbine and any 

existing private air strips, weather radar signals and telecommunication towers, 

or similar structures. 

M 5) provide to the municipality copies of all noise reports submitted to the 

Ministry of the Environment. 

M 6 ) Agree that advertising will not be permitted on the turbines. 

M 7) agree that no lighting will be permitted on the turbines without municipal 

permission, other than lighting required by Transport Canada. 

FEES AND CHARGES 

Building Code and Permit Fees 

Under the Building Code Act, a building permit is required before the construction of a 

building or structure subject to the Building Code regulations, and the Chief Building 

111

Official is required to issue a permit unless the proposed construction will contravene 

the Building Code Act or other applicable law. 

In the Definition Section 1.1 of the “Building Code Act”, 1992, S.O. 1992, CHAPTER 23, 

“building” means, 

(d) structures designated in the building code; 

Ontario Regulation 350/06 – Building Code, 

Section 1.3.1. (1)(g) Interpretation, states: 

Designated Structures 

(1) The following structures are designated for the purposes of clause (d) of the 

definition of building in subsection 1 (1) of the Act: 

(g) a structure that supports a wind turbine generator having a rated output of 

more than 3 kW 

With respect to the fee that can be charged, the “Building Code Act” states: 

By-laws, resolutions, regulations 

Fees 

7. (1) The council of a municipality ...... may pass by-laws, 

(c) requiring the payment of fees on applications for and on the issuance of 

permits, requiring the payment of fees for maintenance inspections, and 

prescribing the amounts of the fees; 

7 (2) The total amount of the fees authorized under clause (1) (c) must not 

exceed the anticipated reasonable costs of the principal authority to administer 

and enforce this Act in its area of jurisdiction. 2002, c. 9, s. 11 (2). 

The current building permit fee for a turbine is: $ 350.00, plus $ 9.00 per thousand dollar 

of value of base/foundation, and using a valuation of $ 485,000.00, the building permit 

would be $ 4,715.00. 

24 municipalities with or expecting turbines were contacted, and there is very little 

consistency with respect to fees or the method of calculation across the municipalities 

reviewed. The Lambton Shores’ fee is on the low end of the fees and should be 

adjusted. 

Prior to passing a by-law to amend a building permit fee, municipalities are required 

under the Building Code Act to hold a public meeting to discuss the proposed change, 

and is required to provide 3 weeks’ notice of the meeting. The information that must be 

made available to the public at the meeting includes an estimate of the costs of 

administering and enforcing the Act, the amount of the fee change to the existing fee, 

and the rationale for imposing or changing the fee. 

112

If Council is amenable to amending the fees, a public meeting can be scheduled to 

discuss changes to the building permit fees respecting Wind Turbines, Met Towers and 

other matters, and further reports will be provided on the issues. 

DEVELOPMENT CHARGES 

The Municipality of Lambton Shores is currently reviewing its Development Charges Bylaw, 

and the consultant assisting with this process has advised that 4 other clients have 

included a Development Charge for Industrial Wind Turbines. 

A development charge for the turbines must be “growth related”, justifiable, and in 

compliance with the Act, and if imposed, would assist with future capital costs. The 

charge would be for the service components of the Development Charge that the 

installation and maintenance of the turbines would use, which could include roads, fire 

and administration (studies). This issue will be discussed in more detail at the 

Development Charges public meeting scheduled for December 3, 2012. The 

Development Charges Draft Report is available on the municipal website. 

PARTNERS: 

The wind energy projects currently proposed for Lambton Shores cross municipal 

jurisdictional boundaries, and there are benefits in working together with our neighbours 

to develop similar policies, agreements and fee requirements. 

It would be recommended that the Municipalities of Plympton-Wyoming, Warwick and 

North Middlesex, as well as the County of Lambton, be contacted to discuss the 

possibility of developing similar provisions for the joint benefit of our municipalities. 

SUMMARY 

The above is provided to serve as a starting point for discussion purposes and for staff 

direction. If Council is supportive of the “Wind Turbine Development Policy”, and 

Development Agreement approach, staff will further refine the items for inclusion for 

presentation to Council. 

It is important to remember as the municipality goes through the process, that many 

parties have a role to play with respect to Industrial Wind Turbine Projects: 

The Province has the responsibility to ensure the project meets the legislative 

requirements of the Green Energy Act, and other related regulations; 

The Municipality has the responsibility to ensure the infrastructure and assets (including 

residents) are protected to the highest degree permitted; 

The Developers have the responsibility to construct the project in accordance with the 

Provincial legislation, and with respect for the Municipal requirements; and 

The resident in the community also have a role, as they have the right to discuss issues 

of concern with Council, lobby the Provincial Government for legislative changes, file 

113

appeals or submit requests for third party hearings under the various legislations, and/or 

initiate other legal actions to ensure their rights are protected.
