Subject:
Revised Fee Schedules and Changes to MVC Regulations
Please find the proposed revised fee schedule which will be presented to the MVC Board of Directors on
December 5, 2012. As suggested by the Board of Directors at the December 7, 2011 meeting, the
proposed fee schedule is to be updated by the consumer price index on an annual basis. The total increase
in fees for 2013 is 2%. The increase is consistent with the Rideau Valley and South Nation Conservation
Authorities. The three Conservation Authorities have attempted to harmonize fees and the level of service
as much as possible. There are some minor adjustments in lower end fees to ensure consistency. The
proposed fee Schedule is attached as Schedule A, B and C. The cost of living increase is intended to
ensure that we are effective in providing the service, that costs are recovered and that timelines are met.
Some challenges remain in terms of full cost recovery.
In September of 2011, The MVC Board of Directors approved a resolution that would amend the MVC
regulation. The changes were subsequently forwarded to the province. MVC (and other CA) submission,
the EBR posting and the Ministerial consideration stages have all now been completed with some
additional provisions resulting based on the input received. The proposed amendments do not extend the
area that the CA currently regulates nor do the amendments broaden considerations the CA would use to
make a decision on a permit.
The changes in the regulation were meant to: (1) provide clarity to the wording of the regulation and to
resolve the misinterpretation of certain sections of the regulation; (2) streamline the process by delegating
positive decisions to staff for Permit approval; (3) extend the validity of permits past two years under
specific circumstances; and (4) enable Conservation Authorities to require technical studies to support
Permit submissions. The final staff reports in regard to amending the regulation are available at:
http://www.mvc.on.ca/planning-and-regulations
We appreciate hearing any feedback from our municipal partners. If you have any questions or comments,
please contact the undersigned.
Yours truly,
Matt Craig

Re: Conservation Authorities Shoreline Planting Program
As you may be aware, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) and
Mississippi Valley Conservation (MVC) have offered a shoreline planting program for
several years.
A naturally vegetated shoreline is an effective way to maintain water quality, aid in
nutrient uptake, provide habitat, and protect shorelines from erosion. Therefore, shoreline
planting and rehabilitation is often recommended when Conservation Authority (CA)
staff assess properties for new development through our review of Planning Act
proposals. Shoreline planting and establishing a vegetated buffer is one method to help
mitigate the impacts of residential development.
The CAs would like to assist our partner municipalities in implementing planting
recommendations through our shoreline planting programs. These programs are designed
to help facilitate these recommendations and provide landowners with the opportunity to
consult with CA staff and implement a shoreline planting plan that is specific to their
property. Each property requires a site visit by CA staff in order to provide
recommendations on species type and density.
Please contact the RVCA and MVC for details on their specific shoreline planting
programs details.
We would be pleased to meet with you to discuss the programs. If you have any
questions in the interim, please contact the undersigned.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION(S)
“THAT, Council denies the request by Mr. Moulton to stop up, close and sell a portion
of the unopened road allowance located in the Geographic Township of Lanark, Part Lot 9,
between Concession 10 and 11.”
BACKGROUND
Mr. Moulton submitted a request on Oct 31, 2012 to close a portion of road allowance which

concerns regarding access to their property if the road allowance were closed. Further
investigation revealed that the access via the south end of the road allowance was restricted
due to wetlands.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED
Option #1
Option #2
That the request be denied.
That staff proceed in stopping up, closing and selling the road allowance.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
None.
CONCLUSIONS
Approve the staff recommendation.

PLANNING REPORT #PD-43-2012
TOWNSHIP OF LANARK HIGHLANDS
CONSENT APPLICATION (WEAVER)
PART OF LOT 9, 10, CONCESSION 3
GEOGRAPHIC TOWNSHIP OF LANARK
TOWNSHIP OF LANARK HIGHLANDS
1.0 Review of Proposal and Application
Two applications have been received from the County of Lanark Land Division Committee for
the creation of two new lots. The property is legally described as Pt Lot 9, 10, Concession 3,
geographic Township Lanark, now in the Township of Lanark Highlands.
The applicant wishes to sever two residential building lots, B12/107 (6 acres), B12/108 (11.6
acres) and retain a 70 acre landholding with an existing dwelling located at 3107 Heron Mills
Road.
The property is designated as Rural on Schedule ‘A 4’ of the Township’s Official Plan and zoned
Rural on Schedule ‘A 4’ by Zoning By-law 2003-451.
1.1 PROVINCIAL POLICY
As part of the province’s long term commitment to economic prosperity and social well being all
planning applications must be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement 2005 (PPS). As
such a review of applicable policies must be undertaken and evaluated under the “consistent
with” test.
New development must be evaluated to determine if unplanned extensions to existing
infrastructure will result if the application is approved. The proposal will be privately serviced
and it appears that the lands are of sufficient area to support a private well and septic system.
Permits from the Health Unit will be required prior to any new development. The proposed lots
have access to municipally maintained road.
1.2 OFFICIAL PLAN
Any application for consent must be evaluated with the policy directives of Section 10.11.13,
which provides direction when considering the division of lands within the Township. Proposals
must be consistent with zoning, and enjoy sufficient frontage and depth to accommodate
setbacks, within the proposed lot configuration. Abutting land uses must be evaluated for
conflicts and natural heritage features.
The proposal as submitted can achieve those directives.
1.3 ZONING
The proposal will if approved result in the creation of two new lots that will comply with Official
Plan policies and is consistent with Provincial Policy. The sketch accompanying the application
illustrates that the lands have sufficient frontage and area to meet the requirements of the
Page 20 of 38

zoning By-law and no relief of the zoning provisions, standards or requirements will be required
if this application moves forward to approval.
The application as proposed can be considered appropriate and as such represents good
planning.
1.4 RECOMENDATION
That Council recommends to the Land Division Committee of Lanark County that the B12/107 &
B12/108 severance applications for the creation of two new lots be approved subject to the
following conditions;
1. The balance of any outstanding taxes, including penalties and interest, (and any local
improvement charges, if applicable) shall be paid to the Township.
2. An acceptable reference plan or legal description of the severed lands and the deed be
submitted to the township.
3. That the applicant pays any outstanding fees to the Township prior to final approval.
4. That the applicant submits the 5% cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication fee to the
Township.
5. The applicant shall obtain a Civic Address Number from the Township of Lanark
Highlands. The applicant shall consult directly with the Township in this regard.
6. The applicant shall obtain an entrance location permit from the Township of Lanark
Highlands. The applicant shall consult directly with the Township in this matter.
7. Sufficient land for Road Widening purposes shall be deeded to the Township of Lanark
Highlands by registered deed, to meet the municipality’s road widening requirements, at
