(13) Tourism & Recreation Masterplan and Implementation Committee Some new ideas have come up - use the Port Burwell Tourism Logo in BTA members windows. Have a sign in Village using the logo, i.e. at turn around, at Chatham & Bridge Streets. Flower Planters - perhaps for maintenance we could have an "adopt a planter" project. Posts have been installed at beach- need to be cut off evenly and painted. Continued reviewing rec. up to # 41. Production of a video- Dave Mason knows a student who can/will do it - how could we fund this? As always, property standards in the downtown core seem to be a major stumbling block in developing Port Burwell into a tourist destination.

CARRIED: Reeve Hugh Brooks 1 Information Meeting RE: Casino Thursday, August 13, 1992 7:30pm Welcome Reeve Brooks welcomed everyone to the meeting and outlined the agenda for the evening. Reeve Brooks also stated the Village has been going downhill for the last 30 years. We have commercial fishing, but once we had three coal companies, a canning factory, a bakery, a butcher, we had so much. Reeve Brooks also stated that he was in complete support of the casino and the waterfront development project. Casino Information Presentation. Councillor Lauran Timlin see attached. Update On The Skinner Proposed Waterfront Development. Mr. Skinner updated the residents on the progress and the hurtles that have been overcome regarding the project. Mr. Skinner also discussed the casino and the positive aspects of having a casino. He also stated if a licence was granted construction would start in the summer of 1993. Questions and Comments Letter read by Reeve Brooks from Mr. Dennis Fulford. In support of the casino licence and the waterfront development. Ross McNair would like to support the project and the zoning proposal. Susan Stock is a 6 month resident and doesn't think it is a contest between the seasonal and permanent residents we have been coming here for 25 years. I do not wish to see a casino in Port Burwell or anywhere else in Ontario. We know that when government comes in many things they cannot control. I come from a farm and not a large community. We must be aware of the changes that will come with 320 condominium units and the increased population. We must be aware of these changes as far as the casino is concerned. Janet Russell- I think this is the most important thing that has happened in Port Burwell and I think it should be left to the permanent residents to decide the future of Port Burwell. I am for the casino and I think the residents should let the people 2 Allan Spicer- I think Mrs. Stock is wrong, yes it will bring change but change to like it used to be many years ago when we did have a casino on the beach. We could lose our doctor in the Village and continue to lose other things if we do not support the casino/waterfront development project. Bob Christoph- I believe the casino as the catalyst is warranted as Mr. Spicer I also feel we will lose many amenities and other things. The casino should be looked at as an integral part of the development. We have two forms of gambling already- lotteries 649, Nevada tickets and bingos. We need a catalyst to draw people. Fred Shelley- I was born here. I understand not all the studies have been completed such as the social economic study. I think we should see these studies. I am concerned about the social impact and traffic. There has been a lot of talk about increased tax revenue for the Village that has to be seen. I need to see the studies before I can make a decision. I can be swayed. Mr. Skinner spoke about the holding zone provision in the zoning by-law and how it is council's decision whether or not to lift the holding zone. In addition the province will be heavily involved. Mr. Skinner went on to explain the economics of doing the studies prior to the passing of the zoning by-law versus after the zoning by-law is in place and re-iterated the purpose of a holding zone. Peter Boles- I am a seasonal resident my family has been coming here for over 90 years. Seasonal residents do have a stake in the decision. We have an interest in the development. I am with Municipal Affairs and have worked there for 20 years. The conflict between permanent and seasonal residents is of concern. The development can get off on the wrong foot. We want to work with the community. We all have and interest in the development of the Village. I was completely surprised by government's announcement of casinos. I thought they were only going into large communities such as Windsor, Toronto, Ottawa and not small communities. On the character of the Village I have been coming here all my life. The Village has been going downhill. The impact is going to be significant and I am willing to work with the Village. Councillor Lauran Timlin- The Ministry of Tourism is reviewing locations and will have input on decisions regarding casinos. 3 The Ministry has recognized that border locations will not really benefit the province. They realize by locating them in the interior people will have to drive through the area thus benefiting more communities and attractions. Jim Ross- I am a seasonal resident and I think it is the greatest thing to hit Port Burwell. I can see it being a catalyst. I think it will help us grow. I would like to thank you Council, Mr. Skinner and all the people involved for bringing us this casino. Shirley Manion- I have lived here 10 years my husband and I own real estate and once owned 9 cottages and I also operate a store. We always had trouble renting the cottages because there is nothing to do and people get bored. This has been a bad summer because of the weather and it just makes it that much harder to get people here. I believe Mr. Skinner has the right idea of a complete year round entertainment center. With advertising in the winter it would be great. The casino would be icing on the cake. We will draw twice as many people. It would give summer residents something to and would attract sailboats. Businesses need this, a lot of businesses have gone under, others are just barely hanging on pretty soon we won't have any businesses on Main St. The children of the Village need the jobs in order to fund their education. It would give them something to do and keep them off the streets. Most people that I have talked to are in favor of the casino. Sarah Brooks- On behalf of the children in the Village we see the casino/hotel improving the level of activities in the Village and providing much needed jobs for paying the cost of higher education. Ron Bradfield- I am a lifelong resident and I had to leave the Village to find work in Toronto. My family operates a business in the Village and it is not as profitable as I would like it to be. I encourage this development the jobs, the progress and I support it to a point. I cannot support a casino in the Village. Mr. Bradfield went on to quote from an article in Monday's August 10, 1992 Toronto Star (attached). -1983 study - organized crime -Mr. Rae said 6 sites organized crime would virtually move into the Village. -The mafia is international and there would be money laundering -Criminals would remain in the Village -We would have turf wars in the Village 4 -There would be drug wars, It has been shown when New York state considered casinos people were killed -We would be like New York City's seedent district -I am sure you have read it in the paper Councillor Lauran Timlin- Mr. Bradfield unfortunately you missed the beginning of the presentations when we discussed Ontario casinos and the experience in the provinces of Manitoba and British Columbia. We have talked to the people who operate these provincially run casinos and they have not experienced any of the problems that you have described. Mr. Skinner asked Mr. Bradfield if he would support a casino elsewhere since he said he would not support one in the Village. Mr. Bradfield said he would but not in the Village. Mr. Skinner- Would you support a casino in lets say Port Stanley? Mr. Bradfield- Yes I would. Mr. Skinner- It would appear casinos are o.k. as long as their not in your backyard. Mr. Bradfield- Yes Mr. Skinner- You have to believe that the government can put into place the necessary controls to avoid these problems. The province will not approve casinos if these problems will exist. If this can help the project would it not be better to have one and not take the not in my backyard approach. Mr. Bradfield- I do gamble and I spend $20 a week on 649 tickets but I think it would be detrimental to the Village. Glen Alward- I totally reject the idea of a casino I think we can make it on puritism, I don't think we can make it with a casino. Tiiu Klein- I am a seasonal resident and have nothing against the proposed development but I resent being blackmailed by the agreement it could only proceed soon and in its currently proposed scale if the casino is attached. What do you consider an adequate approval, what is the percentage? I have paid taxes for many years on a decent property I am for the marina, I am never bored. I don't think we need a casino I have been here all summer and never have been bored. 5 I don't know how you can legally if no studies have been done major or minor. Why spend the money of the studies if the zoning is not in place. I don't agree with Mr. Skinner who started off on the wrong foot that is villagers are against the casino and development and permanent residents are for the casino and development. Councillor Tom Nesbitt- The zoning by-law allows for many things. There are many things in our by-law that we don't have. In addition, this is a holding zone and until council is satisfied the holding will not be lifted. The casino is only one of many things in this project. Rob Anderson- I agree with Tom Nesbitt that the casino is one of many things in the project. I am for the casino. I don't think Mr. Bradfield's scare tactic is going to work. I have been in the Winnipeg casino it is tame, I have been to worse church bingos. Cindy Allin- I support the casino, the project and think it would be great for the village. As far as crime and drugs we have it now. Let's look at everything and try to make a good development out of this with the casino in tact. Port Burwell has sat on the sidelines for years. It is about time we get off our butts and do something. And if it means applying for a casino and losing it, at least we've applied for it. Bob Macey- Can we specify the type of casino in the by-law so we can be protected? Can it say European style casino? Councillor Tom Nesbitt- James can it? Clerk James Timlin- Yes. Allan Spicer- I am involved with a cottage near Algonquin Park. I refuse to join the Cottage Association there because they oppose development. I think cottagers should look at it in a positive light. Mr. Steel- I am in favor of the casino. It is the only way out of this mess for the Village. Greg Pressey- I support the casino and its operation. It gives us opportunities we don't have now. Harry Ross- I am speaking for myself, and Mr. Cookson who couldn't be here tonight. We both support the casino. I have lived here many years and have seen the decline. Mr. Cookson's uncle used to own the property where the old casino used to be. 6 We rent cottages and it is very hard. We have to advertise a lot to rent them. A lot of people like to do activities we've had people go home early because there is nothing to do. Mrs. Vaughan- We retired here approximately two years ago. Philip my husband grew up in Port Burwell and it has changed. There is very little here particularly in the winter. We nee this project and the casino. There are many other things in the development and it will provide jobs and get the teenagers off the streets. There is an athletic center, movies, theater, many things that the teenagers and residents can use. Who ever thought of the sewage plant years ago should be congratulated for their foresight. Councillor Tom Nesbitt- I would like to dispel that there is a rift with the cottagers. I respect the opinion of the cottagers, they own beautiful property and they are council and Skinner's concerns. I hope more retire here. Mr. Skinner- I apologise to the cottagers, I think most cottagers support the casino, waterfront development and the cottagers like Port Burwell. I don't want to cause a rift. The village selected me as their developer through their call for developers, I want to work with council and the residents. 22 rat A-/- . r „ .. f, su.

Clerk This proposed modification is prepared in response to comments received from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. The Ministry recommended that Bonusing Policies be included in Section 5 of the Official Plan: Implementation and Administration. This amending zoning by-law regulates the use of land, buildings and structures for the Marina Complex at the east beach in the Village of Port Burwell. This by-law clarifies the definition for Tourist Commercial Establishment. This by-law adds "Bonus Provisions" to the "General Provisions" of the Comprehensive Zoning By-law. This by-law creates an area specific zone not used anywhere else in the Village to impose special development controls for the Marina Complex. The lands subject to this amendment are also subject to relevant holding provisions. Removal of the "H" symbol must be done through a zoning by-law amendment, but only after all relevant conditions are satisfied. Clerk The Clerk states "the notice was advertised in the Tillsonburg News, July 13, 1992 and the Aylmer Express July 15, 1992. It is my opinion that the Tillsonburg News have sufficient distribution in the Village to adequately notify the public. In addition notices were sent out with the tax bills. Reeve Any person may express his/her views of these proposed changes to the Official Plan and the Comprehensive Zoning By-law and a record will be kept of their comments. Any person wishing to receive written notice of the adoption of the Official Plan and Comprehensive Zoning By-Law should leave their name and address with the Clerk. Village Planner The Village Planner, Mr. Henricks reviewed the proposed Official modifications regarding bonusing policies in Section 5 of the Official Plan. Mr. Henricks reviewed the zoning by-law amendment proposed by-law 92-21 . Reeve Are there any questions? (For the record state your name). Does anyone wish to present their comments either in favour of or in opposition to these proposed changes to the Official Plan and the Comprehensive Zoning By-law? Robert Smith When does it come in to effect? Mr. Henricks Should Council choose to pass the by-law Tuesday night it doesn't come into force and effect until the Official Plan is approved. The developer still has to complete some studies for Municipal Affairs. In addition before the "H" symbol is removed more studies have to be completed. Mr. Henricks gave examples of studies required. He further stated we are a long way off before we see something happen. Mr. Ingolfsrud Does the developer have his financing in place? Clerk Timlin Yes, he has a commitment for $158 million in funding provided a casino licence is approved. Mr. Ingolfsrud Does the Village have something that shows this funding? Clerk Timlin Mr. Skinner will provide details of the investors, who they are, etc. when we make our submission to the province. The investors will be investigated by the province. Ross McNair I spoke to Skinner last week at the casino meeting and he told me the financing is in place. I think he is sincere. Dave Mason Is waterlot B covered by this amendment? Clerk Timlin Waterlot B does not have any Official Plan designation or zoning in place. This amendment only deals with waterlot A where the development is going to go. Elizabeth Ingolfsrud Has Skinner asked for these densities? John Henricks I met with Mr. Skinner and we sat down and discussed uses and made suggestions for good planning. We talked about keeping the densities down and if you wanted higher densities there would be additional parkland provided. John further discussed densities and bonusing. Mr. Ingolfsrud What about these 10 stories a 100 foot high building? John Henricks This particular item was brought forward at the Official Plan amendment meeting in November. Clerk Timlin They approved the 10 stories but the OPA states that only 6 will be above the bank. Council entered into a development agreement for this proposed development. Mr. Klein These bonusing provisions, does Council have the authority to act alone or does it have to come back to the public? John Henricks No they can't. They have to go back to the public. The previous Council ensured that the public would have comment through the site Plan process. This site plan process of public comment applies not only to this development but all development in the Village. Mr. Klein What is the existing zoning for this site? John Henricks Proposed development - no new uses, existing uses only. This area was set aside for future development such as the marina complex. Mr. Klein What about this density and height? John Henricks The zoning provides for greater density if the developer drops the height. Mr. Klein If the bonusing provision is used why not just write it in now? John Henricks The intent is to provide the developer with a minimum standards. If the developer wants to exceed these provisions he will have to provide something over the minimum. Mr. Klein The Open Space - is there a definition of what Open space is? There doesn't seem to be a lot of open space. Is the C.P. land involved in this? John Henricks No, the C.P. land is not involved. I would like to point out the Council has the option under the Planning Act to take cash in lieu of parkland. Mr. Klein What about visibility to see the lake? John Henricks View points, vistas and landscape areas will be dealt with at the site plan stage. We want to come back to the public. We want the public to actually see what is being proposed when the plans are finalized. Clerk Timlin The last Council signed a development agreement with Mr. Skinner to build this proposal. This proposal was presented to the residents last August and this is what we are working towards. John Henricks In all fairness to the developer and Council we have to work together in order to make this happen. Mr. Klein The uses in C-2 you used would make more sense the other way. Mr. Henricks discussed the C-2-1 special zoning and read again the C-2 list and discussed the uses in the C-2 that would not apply. Mr. Klein and Mr. Henricks continued to discuss the various uses, what would apply and not apply. Then they discussed uses that would apply in the Tourist Commercial definition. Ross McNair Is this guy a developer? Mr. Klein No. Clerk Timlin Mr. Klein has a cottage in the Village and lives in Kleinburg. He is involved in the Ratepayers Association there. (Note: Kleinburg is north of Toronto) Harvey Boyd All this talk about views and seeing the lake is nonsense. I have lived here all my life and a lot of residents can't see the lake. John Henricks We are concerned about public view vistas. Dave Mason Why are the maps different? John Henricks The large map is the important map. Dave Mason Why two maps? John Henricks The other map is to show development in relation to the Village. Mr. Klein We should go overboard in landscaping and open space. John Henricks The Village has site plan control and the process involves public input. No building permit will be issued without site plan approval. The public will have a lot of opportunity to comment. With a development like this you need a creative architect. Mr. Skinner is one and we must give him some flexibility to allow him to do his job. Mr. Ingolfsrud What about it being built in pieces? Clerk Timlin The Village and Mr. Skinner have signed an agreement which has included in it how the development will be built. The marina and 185 units or sewage units will be in phase 1 . Mr. Ingolfsrud Does he have to build the marina first? Clerk Timlin When the Village initiated the Call For Developers back in January 1990 the primary goal was to obtain a marina. When the development agreement was negotiated the Village ensured that in phase 1 the marina would be built. Mr. Ingolfsrud When will the marina be built at the end, or in the middle? Clerk Timlin As you can see by the drawings, the marina has to be built at the same time as the rest of the development. If you don't build the breakwalls and dredge the basin for backfill for the other areas you will not be able to build the hotel or condos because they will wash away. Mr. Ingolfsrud What financial assurances do you have that the marina will be built? Clerk Timlin Through the various agreements such as subdivision, condominium site plan and additional development agreements the Village will be asking for lines of credit and performance bonds to ensure that construction takes place. Mr. McNair and Mr. Smith When will Mr. Skinner buy our land? We don't want to sit there looking at a hotel. Clerk Timlin Your land is where the athletic centre and complex is to be built. It would be built in conjunction with the hotel. He will purchase the land when everything is in place. Councillor Tom Nesbitt Mr. Skinner will purchase it when the Official Plan and Zoning is in place. Why purchase it now when you can't do anything with it? We cannot even issue a building permit until everything is in place. Mr. Smith Why doesn't he option the property? Councillor Tom Nesbitt Why should he spend money and have someone object and things don't go ahead? We will ask Mr. Skinner to talk to you. Clerk timlin Council is planning on having another public meeting so that the residents can meet and talk to the "Project Team". Right now the residents see a part time Council and a small office and have concerns. Council would like you to meet the professionals who will be advising Council and assisting Council in ensuring the Village interests are represented and protected. Council would like the residents to meet the Village lawyers, planner, engineer and auditor. In addition we will also be asking a representative from Long Point Regional Conservation Authority, Municipal Affairs and Ministry of Natural Resources to attend. These are the people who assist Council in ensuring we have a successful development. Councillor Tom Nesbitt Council doesn't work in isolation. These people have been involved throughout the whole process. James is always in contact with these individuals. We do not make decisions without first consulting the experts or people in the province. Clerk Timlin The province wants to work with the Village. Municipal Affairs arranged a meeting back in April with all the ministries and agencies that would be involved in this process. This is probably the first time they all sat down at the same table. It was a very productive meeting and everyone came away with a clear understanding. Municipal Affairs have said they will assign staff time to help us with this project. Councillor Tom Nesbitt When Mr. Skinner presented his proposal to Council he brought with him a consultant from UDA Architects who are involved in urban design and planning. They did the waterfront development at Norfolk, Virginia which is something like Port Burwell blending in the new with the existing. Council and Mr. Skinner want to ensure the rest of the Village remains alive and the existing downtown thrives. Allan Spicer i have lived here for 18 years. I don't have any concern about the impact the project would have on the downtown. It can't go down any further. The downtown won't improve unless money is spent. Council should go ahead and pass the zoning by-law. Council should take the risk and pass the by-law. Out west they have not experienced the social problems with their casinos. I think we need the casino licence to get the project going... If Council doesn't move ahead we will lose our doctor, no one will take his place when he retires. We will continue to lose things and we will become part of Bayham Township. We have much to lose and the Village must move ahead and pass the by-law and get the casino licence. Mr. Durst I think Council should strike everything that was said tonight from the record and pass the damn zoning, get the licence and lets get moving. Shirley Manion I think the Council should pass the by-law. Reeve Is there a motion to refer these items for a decision by Council at its regular meeting later this evening? MOVED BY: Tom Nesbitt SECONDED BY: Ed Epple Be it resolved Council refers the proposed by-law amendments and the Official Plan modifications to the next regular Council meeting August 25, 1992.

SECRETARY/TREASURER: PROPOSED OWNER: Malcolm Chapman LOCATION: 48 Strachan St. MINOR VARIANCE REQUESTED TO BY-LAW 91-03 Comprehensive Zoning By-law Section. Allow commercial use in a residential zone. OFFICIAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Residential ZONING: Residential R-1 SECRETARY/TREASURER: As per the Planning Act, 1983 Notice was sent to owners of property within 60 meters of the proposed minor variance. The Village Planner's recommendation that the minor variances be approved as it conforms to the Official Plan/Zoning By-law regarding existing lots. Reeve Any person may express his/her views of these proposed variances and a record will be kept of their comments. Any person wishing to receive written notice of the adoption of the variances should leave their name and address with the clerk. Reeve Are there any questions? (For the record state your name). Does anyone wish to present their comments either in favour of or in opposition to these proposed variances? Paul Roy- Opposition 1 . Does not like having a commercial property next door. High traffic. 2. Appraisal of home- property value could go down. Mr. Chapman- Business entrance will be onto Erieus St. Mr. Henricks- Large industrial type building, legal, non-conforming. Site plan, fencing, landscaping, development agreement, roads restored. Use confined to existing building. Mr. Roy- Will not be more attractive, high traffic, 10 or 12 cars at times. Would like to see the building torn down and kept entirely residential. Mr. Henricks- The building was there and the existing use was there prior to the Comprehensive Zoning By-law and Official Plan. Mr. Roy- I want to keep it residential, I don't want any type of commercial property next door. Mr. Henricks- 10 parking stalls provided according to size of building. Mr. Lavers- Does the zoning require for buffers? Mr. Henricks- Site Plan will require that there be landscaped buffers. If building was torn down the property would be returned to residential. Mr. Lavers- Traffic increase during summer with vehicle/boats are not always careful. Mr. Nesbitt- Will this be seasonal? Mr. Chapman- Yes Mr. Nesbitt- Will there be watercraft displayed outside? Mr. Chapman- No. Mr. Roy- Mr. Chapman spoke with 6 residents who were in favour. I could probably find 6 people against it. Mrs. Timlin- We have to be reasonable and support new business or the Village will never attract new business. Mr. Loucks- I agree with Lauran that we need new business in Port Burwell. It is not reasonable to consider tearing down the building. Mr. Roy- I do not hold hard feelings against Mr. Chapman. Repeating again, I prefer residential. Mr. Henricks We try to avoid commercial and residential next to each other, however, where they are next to each other the Village does its best to accomodate everyone's needs. Once the site plan has been presented we will have another public meeting to discuss the site plan. Reeve Any questions from the members of Council? Reeve Is there a motion regarding the minor variance? See attached resolution Reeve Is there a motion to close the Committee of Adjustment Public Meeting?
