(b) AGENCY REVIEW This application has been circulated to those agencies that were considered to have an interest in the proposal. The following comments were received: Tay Valley Township recommends approval of this application subject to the following conditions: 1. Payment of all taxes owing 2. Payment of all costs incurred by the Township for review 3. Copy of Deed/Transfers 4. 2 copies of the reference plan 5. Parkland contribution of $200 6. Site Plan Control Agreement to include comment that existing accessory structures on retained lot would not be used until there was a use on the main lot 7. Compliance with Rideau Valley Conservation Authority Recommendations 8. All new construction as well as septic systems to be located greater than 30m from the high water mark, Conservation Authority The subject application for consent has been reviewed by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) and we offer the following comments to the Committee. The subject lands front on Pike Lake and are accessed by an existing private road. The application will create a 1.875 ha lot with 87.63 meters of water frontage and retain a 2.325 ha acre lot with 87.63 meters of water frontage. There is an existing noncomplying residence on the severed lot. The dwelling on the proposed waterfront lot is situated 12 meters back from the water and is located on a relatively flat section by the water. The current landowner has limited access to the water and has maintained a buffer along the majority of the shoreline. The lot rises away significantly away from the water towards the back of the property, with the retained portion consisting of rolling topography. There is a suitable building envelop on the upland section of the property. There is gazebo located approximately 18 meters from the water. There is an existing private road running parallel to the shore. The average setback from the road on the retained lot is approximately 40-45 meters. While the severed lot has an avenge setback of 45-50 meters. It is assumed that that the non-complying use (existing cottage) on the severed lands will be corrected over time. It should be clearly understood that any future development on the severed and retained lands must adhere to the setbacks and standards set out in the current Municipal planning documents. This includes providing a suitable location to install a conventional Class 4 septic system and a building envelope located a minimum of 30 metres from the water. The RVCA will not support any forthcoming application that does not meet the current standards and setbacks. Any future development within 100 m of the water on the retained and severed lands will be subject to Site Plan Control as a requirement of the municipal planning documents. The RVCA has no objection and generally recommends the following conditions be Page 19 of 44

included in any future development application (Site Plan Control) to protect the aquatic environment: All disturbances should be restricted to areas outside the 100 ft setback. Roof runoff is to be directed via eaves troughing and outletting of eaves troughs to a soak-away pit (dug whole with gravel) to facilitate the infiltration of roof runoff. Erosion and sediment controls set on the water side of the construction site (during the construction period and maintained until vegetation has established). Due to limited soil cover and the slope it is important to constantly maintain and inspect erosion and sediment controls. Excavated materials be disposed of well away from the water. Access to the water should be limited to one area with no disturbance to the existing near shore vegetation (and delineated on site plan). The written approval of the RVCA is required prior to any altering, straightening, changing, diverting or interfering with the shoreline of the lake. Trusting this is satisfactory we thank you for the opportunity to comment. Please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned should there be any questions. Please provide a copy of the Committee s decision to the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority s Manotick Office. We would also appreciate being advised of any change in the status of the application. On-Site Services (Septics) Mississippi-Rideau Septic Office A review has been undertaken to ensure that the transferring of the subject lands will not impact the minimum requirements established in Part 8 of the Ontario Building Code. The purpose of this application is to sever a 1.875 hectare property and retain a 2.325 hectare property on Walter s Way in Tay Valley Township. The severed portion contains an existing cottage situated within 30 metres of the edge of Pike Lake. The cottage on the severed portion is serviced by a composting toilet and an existing greywater pit. The greywater pit was not located by the MRSSO and is likely located within Tay Valley Township and Ontario Building Code setback distances. There is sufficient room on the severed land to install a Class 4 sewage system if required in the future. The retained portion has sufficient room for a new Class 4 sewage system should further lot development take place in the future. All new septic systems should be located >30 meters from the high water mark and respect all required Ontario Building Code setback and construction requirements. Provided these design parameters continue to be met the Mississippi-Rideau Septic Office has no objection to this severance as proposed. We caution that other considerations must also be taken into account, however, in the review of any development application under the Planning Act for this lot including but not limited to Provincial Policy, the municipal Official Plan and Zoning By-Law, watershed and water quality objectives, lake carrying capacity and fish habitat considerations greater setbacks and lot layout modifications may be required for development to proceed. These matters may be commented on separately and advice provided to the approval authority. Hydro One Networks No comments were received. Bell Canada R-O-W No comments were received. Page 20 of 44

(c) PLANNING REVIEW The applicant proposes to sever a 1.875-ha residential lot with an existing seasonal dwelling and retain a 2.325 parcel of land with a boat house and shed. Two previous severances were taken from the original parcel in 1992 (located off Scotch Line Road. The subject lands are located in an area characterized by Residential Development on a variety of smaller lot sizes along the south side of Scotch Line Road, many with access to Pike Lake. The northerly side of Scotch Line Road is characterized by large generally vacant landholdings. The lands are accessed via Walter s Way a private r-o-w, which adjoins Scotch Line Road, a county maintained road. The lands are within 300 m of a Primary Water Source (Pike Lake) therefore are subject to possible Archaeological Potential. A State of the Lake Environment Report was undertaken on Pike Lake in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005. The reports were able to conduct a comparison between water quality conditions as they existed in 2005 and the previous four years, to results obtained since 1975. In general the water quality in Pike Lake is in reasonably good shape. However, Pike Lake has a variable quantity of nutrients that are at and often in excess of the accepted threshold values. A continued stewardship program is required to educate the users of the lake on ways to reduce nutrient loading. The Lake was also tested for invasive species, in particular, zebra mussels and spiny water flea. Neither Spiny water flea or zebra mussel larvae nor adults were detected in the any of the reporting years. Residents and property owners need to ensure that all access points to the lake have been posted, and the precautions they can take to avoid the spread of invasive species from other lakes. There were no objections raised by any of the agencies which were circulated regarding this proposal. In light of the foregoing, this office is satisfied that the applicant s proposal maintains the general intent and purpose of the PPS and Official Plan for Tay Valley Township and could be given favourable consideration. (d) PUBLIC INPUT No written submissions were received in response to the notice of application sent to every landowner pursuant to Clause 53(5) (a) of the Planning Act and Section 3(2) of O.Reg. 197/96 as amended.

Conservation Authority Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority Mississippi Valley Conservation (MVC) has been circulated the above noted application to conduct a review in terms of MVC Regulations and Provincial Planning Policy for Natural Heritage and Natural Hazard issues. Specifically, the purpose of this review is to assess potential impacts of the proposed development on known natural heritage features on and adjacent to the subject property. These features could include wetlands, wildlife habitat and areas of natural and scientific interest. This review also includes an evaluation of the subject property for natural hazards such as unstable slopes and areas prone to flooding and erosion. According to the information provided, the purpose of the subject application is to sever a Page 28 of 44

developed 2.71-ac parcel of land and retain a developed 60.13-ac parcel of land. A review of available mapping shows Purdon s Creek traveling through the proposed retained lands and along the western lot line of the proposed severed lands. No other natural heritage features or natural hazards were identified. The resulting lots meet with the current minimum area requirements set out in the Township of Lanark Highland s Zoning By-law and both lots are already developed with no new development proposed at this time. With all of this in consideration, MVC does not have any objection to the subject application. The property owner should be advised that in the event that shoreline work is proposed, written permission may be required from MVC pursuant to Ontario Regulation 153/06 - Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses.
