ONTARIO LOB 1 JO TEL.(416)263-2231 REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 29, 1980. REPORT NO. : P-149-80 SUBJECT: Pits and Quarries Licencing By-law Pits and Quarries Development Agreement BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: On August 27, 1979, Council adopted resolution C-1081-79 (attachment 1) which recommended approval of a proposed Official Plan amendment submitted by Salco Sand and Gravel Ltd. Council's approval of the proposed amendment was conditional upon the applicant entering into an agreement, with the Town, which would address a number of local concerns as outlined by the Council resolution. Following on Council's direction, a meeting was held with the Town Manager and the Director of Public Works on December 14, 1979. As a result of that meeting it was decided that staff would present, for Council's approval, a by-law prepared under the authority of the Municipal Act, for controlling pits and quarries, as well as, a draft agreement and rezoning by-law (if possible) for the Salco property. In fulfillment of the agreed to course of action, Planning Staff drafted and circulated a comprehensive agreement specifically designed for the property in question. No response was received to our circulation. P � However, at the May 21, 1980 Department Heads meeting, a draft Pits and `)�s° /�' 2 - Quarries by-law and draft agreement, both prepared by the Town Manager, were discussed. Written comments were to be submitted directly to the Planning Department since it was generally agreed that the Planning Depart- ment would co-ordinate the review of the draft by-law and corresponding agreement, and make any necessary revisions. It was also agreed that the two documents should be forwarded to the Town's solicitor for his review prior to Council consideration. As a result of our requests, the following comments were received. Town of Newcastle Clerk "My general comment on the above by-law is that it appears to be modelled on a by-law for another municipality and will have to be rewritten to take certain things into account. Section 17, for instance, refers to regulate the use of lands and character, location and use of buildings in the Town of Newcastle. We, of course, have separate by-laws for the four former municipalities. Section 7.3 and 19.4 present the same problem. Section 22 should be reworded to provide for corrections by a J.P. as well as Provincial Judge, or better still, use the same wordings as in the penalty clause of By-law 80-66." (.Staff note that the entire by-law has been rewritten to more closely suit the particular circumstances of the Town of Newcastle. We also note that the references to particular by-law numbers has been deleted and reworded again to reflect the Town's own partic- ular situation. Section 22 has been amended to reflect the suggested changes.) Town of Newcastle Fire Department "I would submit the following comments. 7. Suggest when closing off roads in conjunction with gravel pit areas all aspects affecting services should be included in the draft agreement. 7.6 This section would be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Environment regardless of location of units. 19.3 Should be circulated to all Municipal Departments for comment." 3 - (Staff note that the terms of the by-law will permit the Town to include any additional matters, deemed necessary, within the terms of the agreement. While many items within the by-law speak to matters under the jurisdiction of other agencies, it is the intent of the by-law to specify the min- imum requirements of the Town. It is noted that all agreements are presently circulated to all departments as standard procedure.) Town of Newcastle Treasurer "My only comment in regard to the subject by-law is in relation to Paragraph 8.2 which requires mowing of grass in months of July and August and I would question the adequacy of this provision." (Staff note that while it appears the intent of the original by-law was to require only rough cutting of grass permitting minimum maintenance, due to the usually rural locale of gravel pits, we have revised the wording slightly to require mowing and maintenance at appropriate intervals.) Written comments were not received from either the Public Works Department or the Community Services Department. However, verbal com- ments provided by the Director of Public Works indicated some concern in respect of entrance requirements and this Section has been changed to conform with the Town's current entrance policies. Concern was also expressed verbally about Section 20, dealing with administration, and this Section has been revised to permit the by-law administration to be delegated to a Municipal employee. During our own review of the draft by-law, a number of revisions were made dealing with, among other things, definition of terms, minimum yard requirements, consistency with existing by-laws, and procedures for zoning amendments. The revised draft licencing by-law is included as Attachment 2 to this report. The draft agreement has also been revised and reflects the more comprehensive requirements of the first draft agreement as prepared by this Department. The second draft, which was included for circulation, - 4 - dealt most specifically with the rehabilitation of pits and quarries and only generally with other aspects of operation. In view of this fact, it was felt that the more comprehensive version would more adequately satisfy the Town's needs. The revised draft agreement is included as Attachment 3 to this report. CONCLUSION: Based on our review and revisions, we are now prepared to submit the draft Pits and Quarries Licencing By-law and draft Pits and Quarries Development Agreement for the Committee's consideration. However, prior to Council approval, it is suggested that the draft by-law and agreement be forwarded to the Town's solicitor for his review and comment. RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning and Development Committee recommend to Council the following: 1. That report P-149-80 be received for information; and that 2. The draft Pits and Quarries Licencing By-law and draft Pits and Quarries Development Agreement be forwarded to the Town's Solicitor for review and comment prior to 'Council consideration.
