REPORT
PHYSICAL SERVICES
TO: Mayor & Members of Council
FROM: Ed Roloson, Manager of Capital Projects - Water/Wastewater Operations
DATE: May 15, 2025
REPORT: PS-06/25 SUBJECT: RICHMOND COMMUNITY DRINKING WATER SYSTEM CAPACITY
BACKGROUND
At its February 20, 2025 meeting, Council received Report PS-01/25 re 2024 Annual Drinking
Water and Compliance Summary Reporting – Bayham and Richmond Water Systems. The
Report identified that the Richmond water system is reaching its design capacity. It is currently at
77 percent capacity, with approximately eleven additional connections possible before the system
reaches the 90-percent threshold, which is established by the Ministry of the Environment,
Conservation and Parks (MECP) as the threshold for safe system operation and the peak/trough
periods in annual operations. The Report mentioned that more information would be provided to
Council under a separate Report, which will include costing for options to increase the system’s
licensed capacity while remaining under the 50 m3/day cap.
Council received Report PS-01/25 for information.
DISCUSSION
The Richmond water system was designed and engineered in 2013 by Stantec Consulting. The
design provided for the safe supply and delivery of treated groundwater to accommodate the
existing community. The system is currently licensed and permitted by the MECP to treat
43.2m3/day as per Stantec`s design; 38.8m3/day is the 90-percent threshold. The system
currently treats 33.3m3/day based on Report PS-01/25. The difference – 5.5m3/day – equates to
approximately eleven new connections at 0.5m3/day. Once this threshold is met, development is
effectively capped in Richmond.
Council has two options in this regard – expand the treatment system, or status quo.
The status quo option is fairly straight-forward insofar as process goes. The Municipality would
continue to approve one-off development – generally via consents and/or Additional Residential
Units (ARUs) – until the 90-percent threshold is met. Once met, the Municipality will have to
formally cease expansion in Richmond and all development charge monies not spent will be
frozen and can remain in a surplus reserve as confirmed by Watson and Associates Economists
Ltd. Council may consider potentially reallocating the surplus to the Bayham water system by
updating the current water/wastewater by-law to a combined urban-area development charge.
System expansion is involved and complex. Consideration of expanding the water capacity would
include an updated environmental assessment (EA), public consultation, MECP approvals, design
engineering inclusive of upgrades and or replacement of the various treatment components as
well as associated equipment and analyzers, storage tank upgrades, additional building space
(possible land concerns), tendering, construction, testing and commissioning. Stantec has
provided a high-level budget estimate of $1,040,500.00 plus HST for consideration to complete
the capacity upgrades. The upgrades would bring the capacity of the system from 43.2m3/day to
50.0m3/day, which increases the 90-percent threshold to 45.0m3/day and allows for an extra
twelve connections. Development charge funds can be used to offset some the estimated costs.
Staff believe the cost estimate is prohibitive relative to overall connection increase and in relation
to the limited amount of developable lands within the current hamlet boundaries. The Five-year
Official Plan Conformity Review is not contemplating expansion of the Richmond settlement area
at this time as Bayham’s Official Plan must conform with the Elgin County Official Plan and any
expansion would have to be supported by background studies with supporting capacity and in
conformity with Provincial planning policy documents.
At this time, staff do not recommend an expansion of the Richmond water system.

ZBA-02/25 NOTICE OF A PUBLIC MEETING CONCERNING A PROPOSED ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT
IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM APPLICANT: KOERT & MARIA VAN ITTERSUM LOCATION: 12011 ELLIOTT ROAD
TAKE NOTICE that the Municipality of Bayham has received a complete application for a proposed Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA-02/25).
AND TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham will hold a public meeting on Thursday, May 15th, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. in the Municipal Council Chambers, 56169 Heritage Line, Straffordville, to consider a proposed Zoning By-law Amendment under Section 34 of the Planning Act. Public Planning Meetings may be viewed virtually through the live-stream on the Municipality of Bayham’s YouTube Channel
THE PURPOSE of this By-law Amendment is to rezone the subject property from ‘Estate Residential (ER)’ Zone to a ‘Site-Specific Estate Residential (ER-XX)’ Zone to permit the construction of a replacement accessory building on the subject property which requires relief from the following provision:
• Section 8.10.2 to permit a cumulative Maximum Floor Area for Accessory Buildings of 197 m2, whereas 95.0 m2 is required. The subject property is known as 12011 Elliott Road, west side, and south of Green line.
THE EFFECT of this By-law is to permit a new accessory building that exceeds the Maximum Floor Area requirement for accessory buildings and structures for the storage of personal items.
ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and/or make a written or verbal representation in support of or in opposition to the proposed amendment. Written comments submitted on or before 12:00 Noon on Wednesday, May 7, 2025 to munderhill@bayham.on.ca or at the municipal office will be included in the public meeting agenda.
IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Municipality of Bayham before the by-law is passed, the person or
public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham to the Ontario Land Tribunal.
IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to the Municipality of Bayham before the by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.
IF YOU WISH to be notified of the adoption of the proposed amendment, you must make a written request to the undersigned.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION relating to the proposed amendment may be obtained at the Municipal Office.
Dated at the Municipality of Bayham this 25th day of April 2025.

BACKGROUND
Appointed Agent Paul Hinde, Strik Baldinelli Moniz Ltd., has submitted Official Plan Amendment
and Zoning By-law Amendment applications on behalf of owner 1498855 Ontario Inc. proposing a site-specific Official Plan Amendment and Zoning Amendment on lands known municipally as 92 Edison Drive located on the north side, Village of Vienna, described as Concession 3 Part Lots 11
and 12 Plan 54. The purpose of this Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment is to permit the
proposed Micro Distillery use with an ancillary Interpretation and Information Centre on private services within an existing building on the subject property. Through the Official Plan Amendment, only the south-western portion of the subject property will be redesignated from the ‘Open Space’ and ‘Hazard Lands’ designation to the ‘Commercial’ designation. Through the Zoning By-law Amendment, only the south-western portion of the subject property will be rezoned from the current ‘Holding Village Residential 1 (R1(h2))’ Zone to a ‘Site-Specific Tourist Commercial (C3-2)’ Zone, limiting the proposed use to a Maximum Floor Area of 450.0 m2 (4,843.76 ft2). The effect of this Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment is to permit the proposed Micro Distillery use with an ancillary Interpretation and Information Centre on private services for a Maximum Floor Area of 450.0 m2 (4,843.76 ft2) within an existing building on the
subject property. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION A joint public meeting for the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment was held on December 19, 2024 in the Council Chambers, 56169 Heritage Line, in Straffordville. There were

cc
Subject 1498855 Ontario Inc. (c/o Timothy Emerson)
Application for Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment
(OPA-04/24 and ZBA-27/24),
92 Edison Drive, Village of Vienna
Background
1. Arcadis has completed the review of a combined Official Plan and Zoning By-law
Amendment Application submitted by SBM Ltd. on behalf of the owner, 1498855
Ontario Inc. (c/o Timothy Emerson), for the lands identified as 92 Edison Drive, north
side, in the Village of Vienna.
1. The intent of this combined Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment is to permit
the development of a proposed Micro Distillery use with an ancillary Interpretation
and Information Centre on private services within an existing building on the subject
property. Through the Official Plan Amendment, the south-western portion of the
subject property will be redesignated from the ‘Open Space’ and ‘Hazard Lands’
designation to the ‘Commercial’ designation. Through the Zoning By-law
Amendment, the south-western portion of the subject property will be rezoned from
the current ‘Holding Village Residential 1 (R1(h2))’ Zone to a ‘Site-Specific Tourist
Commercial (C3-2)’ Zone, limiting the proposed use to a Maximum Floor Area of
450.0 m2 (4,843.76 ft2).
2. As described by the applicant, the intent of this proposal is to convert a former farm
structure into a small-scale/hobby micro distillery manufacturing operation
producing a variety of spirits along with ancillary Interpretation and Information
Centre. The building is one storey with an approximate area of 450.0 m2 (4,843.76
ft2) previously used as an agricultural building. As described by the applicant, the
intent of the ancillary Interpretation and Information Centre is to provide a space and
opportunity for product sampling (i.e., tasting) before purchasing. It is understood
that a restaurant with a kitchen is not proposed. The ancillary space within the
building would ultimately be a multipurpose room to feature and educate visitor
and/or customers on the products using historical displays of Vienna’s bootlegging
history.
ARCADIS MEMORANDUM
Municipality of Bayham – January 28, 2025

3. The applicant estimates that the space can accommodate up to 25 people and will
be confirmed as part of the Ontario Building Code review during the future Building
Permit stage. The existing access along Edison Drive would continue to be utilized
to access the proposed use and gravel parking area. The proposed parking area is
intended to accommodate a total of 26 vehicular parking spaces.
4. Further, a Scoped Hydrogeological Study was included in the submission package,
which was conducted to assess water quality and quantity. The proposed distillery
will require approximately 2,000 litres of water per week, and it was identified that
the proposed use will not have adverse impacts to the water quality and quantity.
Subject Property and Surrounding Area
5. The subject lands are characterized as an agricultural property that is currently used
for agricultural purposes, including livestock farming, and is located in the Village of
Vienna. An existing single-detached dwelling, as well as several farm related
buildings and/or structures are located on the subject property.
6. The subject lands have a total lot area of approximately 38.85 hectares (96 acres),
and estimated lot frontage of 156.7 metres (514.1 feet) along Edison Drive, lot width
of 206.5 metres (677.5 feet), a lot depth of 949.2 metres (3,114.1 feet). The south-
western portion to be redesignated and rezoned is approximately 2,854 square
metres (0.705 acres) in size.
7. The subject property is currently designated in Schedule ‘C’: Vienna Land Use and
Constraints as “Residential”, “Open Space” and “Hazard Lands”. The subject
property is currently zoned ‘Holding Village Residential 1 (R1(h2))’ Zone in Schedule
‘H’ (Vienna) of the Municipality of Bayham Zoning By-law Z456-2003.
8. The surrounding lands are predominantly agricultural, with two (2) residential
properties being located on either side of the subject lands along Edison Drive.
Further, immediately to the south is the Big Otter Creek, with the associated natural
hazards.
Public Comments
9. A statutory Public Meeting was held on December 19th, 2024. One (1) delegate
providing verbal comments from the public was received. The delegate that virtually
attended the meeting verbally expressed concerns regarding traffic and noise, as
well as the impacts to the ground water and potential flooding hazards.
Comment: Based on the proposed size and scale of the use, notably the hobby-
like nature of the use, a noise and traffic study were not requested by Municipal
Staff. The proposed use will be isolated to one portion of the subject lands,
specifically 0.28 hectares and limited to an existing 450.0 m2 building. Further, a
ARCADIS MEMORANDUM
Municipality of Bayham – January 28, 2025
3
Hydrogeological Study was prepared and submitted by the applicant in support of
the proposed OPA and ZBA Application, and the Study demonstrated that the
proposed use will not have adverse effects on the groundwater. Lastly, the proposed
development is within an existing building that is located outside of the LPRCA
regulated area and floodplain. Therefore, it is our opinion that the proposed
development addresses the expressed comments and/or concerns.
Provincial Planning Statement (2024)
10. We have reviewed this Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment Application in
relation to the new Provincial Planning Statement (PPS), which replaced the
previous PPS (2020) and Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The new
PPS is in-force and effect, as of October 20, 2024.
11. The PPS, notably Section 2.3, states that settlement areas should be the focus of
growth and development and that the planning authorities shall support general
intensification and redevelopment to support the achievement of complete
communities. Further, Section 2.5.3 also states that planning authorities shall give
consideration to locally appropriate rural characteristics, the scale of development
and the provision of appropriate service levels when directing development in rural
settlement areas.
Comment: It is our opinion that the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law
Amendment to facilitate the proposed Micro-Distillery use is consistent with the new
PPS, as this use will contribute to a mix of land uses, such as commercial
development, within the existing Settlement Area. Although this portion of Vienna is
currently not serviced by full municipal servicing and utilizes private well and septic
servicing, the Hydrogeological Study prepared in support of this proposal
demonstrates no negative impacts to the ground water.
12. Further, as per Section 5.2 of the PPS, development shall generally be located
outside of hazardous lands, as well as site alteration within flooding hazards.
Comment: The proposed development is consistent with the Natural Hazards
policies of the PPS, as the proposed development is within an existing building that
is located outside of the LPRCA regulated area and floodplain.
County of Elgin Official Plan
13. The current County of Elgin Official Plan identifies the Village of Vienna as a ‘Tier 1’
Settlement Area, as per Schedule ‘A’ – Land Use. It is understood that Tier 1
Settlement Areas have full servicing and allow for a broad range of uses, whereby
majority of the new growth should be directed within these areas. Section C1.1.2 of
the County of Elgin Official Plan provides a number of objectives for commercial
development within Settlement Areas.
ARCADIS MEMORANDUM
Municipality of Bayham – January 28, 2025

Comment: It is our opinion that the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law
Amendment to facilitate the development of a new commercial use, being a Micro-
Distillery, conforms with the County of Elgin Official Plan policies. As previously
mentioned, although this portion of Vienna is currently not serviced by full municipal
servicing and utilizes private well and septic servicing, the Hydrogeological Study
prepared in support of this proposal demonstrates no negative impacts to the ground
water. Further, the County of Elgin Official Plan encourages a range of commercial
development within the Settlement Areas in order to service residents within the
area.
Municipality of Bayham Official Plan
14. The subject lands are designated in Schedule ‘C’: Vienna Land Use and Constraints
as “Residential”, “Open Space” and “Hazard Lands”. More specifically, the south-
western portion of the subject lands where the applicant is proposing the Micro-
Distillery Use is only designated as “Open Space” and “Hazard Lands”.
15. It is noted that the current “Open Space” boundaries align with the “Hazard Lands”
overlay, and this constraint is related to potential flood and erosion hazards
associated with the Big Otter Creek to the south. The “Hazards Lands” overlay also
reflects the LPRCA regulation area. LPRCA staff recommended that the applicant’s
surveyor identify the floodplain elevation of 180.18 metres based on CGVD1928
and noted that LPRCA’s regulation limit extends 15 metres past this floodplain
elevation. LPRCA staff further advised they will rely on the topographic survey to
delineate the regulation limit for the subject lands as it will be more accurate than
existing mapping. As such, the applicant provided a topographic survey in the
submission package and the floodplain elevation along with the 15-metre
buffer/setback to identify the LPRCA regulation area. As per the survey and Concept
Plan provided by the applicant, the proposed use is located is outside the floodplain
and the LPRCA regulation limit. Therefore, it is our opinion that the proposal
addresses the Natural Hazard Lands policies of the Official Plan.
16. Given the existing designation does not permit the development of the proposed
Micro-Distillery use, an Official Plan Amendment is required to designate the south-
western portion of the lands to the “Commercial” designation. It is our opinion that
the “Commercial" designation is the most appropriate designation for the proposed
use given the commercial-like nature of the use. Further, it should be noted that the
Draft OPA prepared for Council’s consideration specifies the exact “Micro Distillery
and ancillary Interpretation and Information Centre” as an additional permitted use
to ensure it is appropriately captured.
17. Section 4.5.1.1 of the Official Plan provides general policy direction with respect to
“Villages” in the Municipality of Bayham. The villages of Port Burwell and Vienna
ARCADIS MEMORANDUM
Municipality of Bayham – January 28, 2025
5
have the capability of accommodating urban types of development on full municipal
services including piped water and sewerage facilities
Comment: As mentioned throughout this Memo, the subject lands are not serviced
by municipal servicing. It is understood that no municipal servicing exists along
Edison Drive, and future expansions of servicing along this road are unknown at this
time. As this portion of Vienna is currently not serviced by full municipal servicing
and utilizes private well and septic servicing, the applicant submitted a Scoped
Hydrogeological Study in support of this proposal. As per the Study, the proposed
use demonstrates no negative impacts to the ground water quality and quantity.
2. Section 4.5.5 of the Official Plan provides policy direction with respect to
commercial development in the “Villages”. More specifically, Section 4.5.5.1 states
that the predominant use of land shall be for the buying and selling of goods and
services within the “Commercial” designation.
Comment: The proposed Micro-Distillery use will have a small retail component for
the sale and purchase of spirits that are produced on-site. This is in keeping with
the intent of the Commercial designation through the use of an ancillary retail
component.
18. Section 4.5.5.3 of the Official Plan reads as follows with respect to new commercial
development:
The “Commercial” designation will be recognized as the dominant areas of
commercial activity in the Municipality. New commercial development should be
an extension of the existing area and should be discouraged from establishing in
adjacent residential areas unless it can be demonstrated that suitable sites within
the “Commercial” designation are not available.
Comment: While the proposed “Commercial” designation is not an extension of an
existing commercial area and is established adjacent to two (2) residential parcels,
it is our opinion that the small scale and nature of the proposed Micro-Distillery Use
is appropriate for the context of the area. As per the amending By-law, the owner
will be limited to a Maximum Floor Area of 450.0 m2 for the proposed use in the
existing building, thus ensuring the small scale/hobby-like nature of the proposed
use is limited. It is also understood that given the small scale of the proposed
operation, the total amount of alcohol that can be produced would be minimal and
less offensive in terms of odour, noise and vibration. Further, at the Building Permit
Stage, the existing building will be reviewed and renovated to ensure it meets the
Ontario Building Code and Fire Code standards for Micro-Distillery Uses.
19. Section 4.5.5.5 of the Official Plan provides the following criteria regarding proposals
for new development and redevelopment in the “Commercial” designation:
ARCADIS MEMORANDUM
Municipality of Bayham – January 28, 2025
6
a) Services and facilities: Existing or proposed municipal services (including
potable water supply, sanitary sewage treatment and waste disposal, storm and
surface drainage, roads, sidewalks, and street lighting) shall be adequate to
serve the proposed development. If these services or facilities are deemed
inadequate, the Municipality may require that an agreement be entered into with
the developer as to the design and cost apportionment of any public works
required to bring these services or facilities up to the appropriate standards of
the Municipality.
Comment: As mentioned throughout this Memo, the subject lands are not
serviced by municipal servicing. It is understood that no municipal servicing
exists along Edison Drive, and future expansions of servicing along this road are
unknown at this time. As this portion of Vienna is currently not serviced by full
municipal servicing and utilizes private well and septic servicing, the applicant
submitted a Scoped Hydrogeological Study in support of this proposal. As per
the Study, the proposed use demonstrates no negative impacts to the ground
water quality and quantity.
b) Off-street parking: Adequate parking shall be provided in accordance with the
Zoning By-law. As an alternative to providing on-site parking, the Municipality
may accept a cash-in-lieu payment with such monies going towards the creation
of new or the improvement of existing parking areas servicing the “Commercial”
designation.
Comment: The applicant is proposing a gravel parking area that can
accommodate 26 parking spaces, including two (2) barrier-free spaces. As per
the calculations prepared by the applicant and per our review, the proposed
parking spaces would exceed the parking requirements of the most restrictive
commercial parking ratio in the Zoning By-law.
c) Adjacent and surrounding land use: Adequate buffer planting or screening may
be required along the boundary between the “Commercial” designation and any
adjacent areas in any residential designation.
Comment: The proposed “Commercial" designation would abut the existing
“Residential” designation to the west. As part of the future Site Plan Application
stage, the Municipality may request additional buffering, such as a landscape
buffer, in addition to the fencing that exists along the western property line.
d) Zoning: All new development, redevelopment and expansions to existing
development shall comply with the standards of the Zoning By-law unless the
By-law is otherwise amended or a variance granted.
ARCADIS MEMORANDUM
Municipality of Bayham – January 28, 2025
7
Comment: The applicant is proposing to rezone the south-western portion of
the lands, which is being processed concurrently with the OPA Application.
Zoning details and the proposed amending By-law are discussed further in this
Memo.
e) Storm drainage: Adequate provision for stormwater management/drainage and
surface runoff subject to the requirements of the Municipality, and the statutory
approval authority having jurisdiction, shall be provided. Where in the opinion of
the Municipality it is deemed necessary or desirable, the Municipality may
require the submission of a grading plan and/or stormwater management plan
to ensure surface water runoff does not adversely affect neighbouring properties
or receiving watercourses.
Comment: As part of the subsequent Site Plan and Building Permit Application,
should the OPA and ZBA be approved, the applicant would be required to
provide a Grading and SWM Plan in support of the application. It is understood
that Municipal Staff did not express concerns at this stage with respect to storm
drainage, as only the gravelled parking area would be altered as a result of this
proposal. All existing buildings would remain.
f) Site plan agreement: The Municipality may require entering into a site plan
agreement to ensure the satisfactory provision and maintenance of facilities and
services relating to the proposed development or redevelopment.
Comment: Should the OPA and ZBA Applications be approved, the owner
would be required to submit a Site Plan Application and would therefore enter
into an agreement with the Municipality.
Based on the above, the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment is
in conformity with the criteria listed in Section 4.5.2.8 of the Official Plan.
Municipality of Bayham Zoning By-law
20. The subject lands are currently zoned ‘Holding Village Residential 1 (R1(h2))’ Zone
in Schedule ‘H’ (Vienna) of the Zoning By-law. As per Section 10.1 of the Zoning
By-law, the R1 Zone does not permit the development of commercial uses. Further,
the ‘h2’ Holding Provision on the subject lands reads as follows:
To ensure orderly development, a subdivision agreement with the Municipality,
which addresses financial and servicing impacts of new development to the
Municipality, will be required prior to the removal of the “h2” zone symbol
21. The subject lands are not currently serviced by municipal water and sanitary
servicing, and timing of such servicing is currently unknown. Therefore, it is unlikely
that a Plan of Subdivision on full servicing will occur in the near future based on the
ARCADIS MEMORANDUM
Municipality of Bayham – January 28, 2025
8
current conditions and information pertaining to servicing at this time. Therefore, the
h2 provision will be removed as part of this Zoning By-law Amendment.
3. As such, in order to permit the proposed “Micro-Distillery” use, as well as the
ancillary “Interpretation and Information Centre” use, the applicant is requesting to
rezone the small south-western portion of the subject lands from the current
‘Holding Village Residential 1 (R1(h2))’ Zone to a ‘Site-Specific Tourist Commercial
(C3-2)’ Zone. It is our opinion that the proposed “Tourist Commercial” Zone is
appropriate, as it captures the intent and purpose of the owner’s vision to provide
a service and/or good that represents an example of a small-scale commercial
tourism establishment.
22. The current Zoning By-law does not have a definition for “Micro-Distillery”, as well
as “Interpretation and Information Centre”. Therefore, as part of the amending By-
law, the definitions are proposed to be included and read as follows:
Micro-Distillery, shall mean a premise used for the small scale and independent
manufacturing of alcohol by distillation, including the retail sales of alcohol meant
for consumption off-premises, or onsite consumption when located in combination
with a permitted ancillary Interpretation and Information Centre.
Interpretation and Information Centre, shall mean a premise used for
educational purposes pertaining to the natural or cultural heritage of a place of
interest in which a collection of objects illustrating history and related types of
information is kept for display and storage.
23. Further, the amending By-law also includes a Site-Specific Provision to limit the
proposed use to a Maximum Floor Area of 450.0 m2. This will ensure that the
proposed use remains at a smaller/hobby-oriented scale and is consistent with the
findings of the Hydrogeological Study, which accounted for an operation of this size.
Should the applicant wish to expand the proposed use in the future, a Site-Specific
Zoning By-law Amendment or Minor Variance Application would be required.
4. After discussions with the applicant and Municipal Staff, the proposed ‘Site-Specific
Tourist Commercial (C3-2)’ Zone will also include a list of additional permitted uses
in the amending By-law, such as: Animal clinic; Bakeries; Bed and Breakfast
Lodging or Tourist Home; Restaurant; Retail stores or service shops not engaged
in manufacturing on the premises; Tavern; Personal service shop; and, Accessory
use including one dwelling unit as an accessory use. The intent of these additional
permitted uses is to ensure the portion of the lands to be rezoned are not restricted
to one use in the event the Micro-Distillery use does not continue. Although these
proposed uses would be permitted as-of-right, it should be noted that any new
development would still require Site Plan Approval. Therefore, the Municipality will
ARCADIS MEMORANDUM
Municipality of Bayham – January 28, 2025
9
have the opportunity to review any new proposals and request the appropriate
plans/studies/reports.
24. The remaining area of the subject lands would continue to be zoned as the ‘Holding
Village Residential 1 (R1(h2))’ Zone. It is understood that the existing uses on the
remaining area would continue as they exist today.
Conclusion and Recommendations
5. Based on our review, Arcadis has no objection to the proposed Official Plan
Amendment to designate the south-western portion of the subject property from
the ‘Open Space’ and ‘Hazard Lands’ designation to the ‘Commercial’
designation, and subsequently, the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment to
rezone the south-western portion of the subject property from the current ‘Holding
Village Residential 1 (R1(h2))’ Zone to a ‘Site-Specific Tourist Commercial (C3-2)’
Zone, limiting the proposed use to a Maximum Floor Area of 450.0 m2 (4,843.76
ft2) in order to permit the proposed Micro Distillery use with an ancillary
Interpretation and Information Centre on private services.

OF THE
MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM
SUBJECT: 1498855 Ontario Inc. (c/o Timothy Emerson)
92 Edison Drive, Vienna
The following text constitutes Amendment No. 39 to the Official Plan of the Municipality of Bayham
OFFICIAL PLAN
OF THE
MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM
THIS Amendment was adopted by the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham by By-law
No. 2025-037, in accordance with Section 17 of the PLANNING ACT, on the 15th day of May 2025.

BY-LAW NO. 2025-037
THE Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham, in accordance with the provisions of the PLANNING ACT, hereby enacts as follows:
1) THAT Amendment No. 39 to the Official Plan of the Municipality of Bayham is hereby adopted.
2) THAT the Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to make an application to the County of Elgin for approval of the aforementioned Amendment No. 39 to the Official Plan of the Municipality of Bayham.
3) THAT no part of this By-law shall come into force and take effect until approved by Elgin County.
ENACTED AND PASSED this 15th day of May 2025.
MAYOR CLERK
OFFICIAL PLAN
OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM
AMENDMENT NO. 39
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment is to designate the south-western portion of the subject
property from the ‘Open Space’ and ‘Hazard Lands’ designation to the ‘Commercial’ designation in
order to facilitate the development of a proposed Micro Distillery use with an ancillary Interpretation
and Information Centre on private services within an existing building.
The existing designation currently does not permit the proposed use. Further, Section 4.5.5 of the
Official Plan does not specifically permit a Micro Distillery use within the “Commercial” designation,
therefore, an Official Plan Amendment is required to redesignate the south-western portion of the
subject property and include the proposed Micro Distillery use with an ancillary Interpretation and
Information Centre on private services as a permitted use.
The Official Plan Amendment also would facilitate the concurrent Zoning By-law Amendment
Application to rezone the south-western portion of the subject property from ‘Holding Village
Residential 1 (R1(h2))’ Zone to a ‘Site-Specific Tourist Commercial (C3-2)’ Zone to permit the
proposed use.
2. LOCATION
The Official Plan Amendment will be applicable to lands known as Part Block F N/S Creek Rd Plan
54 Designated as Parts 23 and 24 11R6158 and Part 1 11R6159; S/T LT38430; Bayham, and
municipally known as 92 Edison Drive in the Village of Vienna.
3. BASIS OF THE AMENDMENT
The subject lands are characterized as an agricultural property that is currently used for agricultural
purposes, including livestock farming, and is located in the Village of Vienna. An existing single-
detached dwelling, as well as several farm related buildings and/or structures are located on the
subject property.
The subject lands have a total lot area of approximately 38.85 hectares (96 acres), and estimated
lot frontage of 156.7 metres (514.1 feet) along Edison Drive, lot width of 206.5 metres (677.5 feet),
a lot depth of 949.2 metres (3,114.1 feet). The surrounding lands are predominantly agricultural, with
two (2) residential properties being located on either side of the subject lands along Edison Drive.
Further, immediately to the south is the Big Otter Creek, with the associated natural hazards.
The south-western portion to be redesignated is approximately 2,854 square metres (0.2854
hectares) in size. This area will consist of the existing building to be converted/utilized for the
purposes of proposed Micro Distillery use with an ancillary Interpretation and Information Centre.
This area also consists of a large gravel parking area.
The proposed amendment is consistent with the policies of the new Provincial Planning Statement
(PPS), whereby a mix of land uses, such as commercial development, is permitted and encouraged
within Settlement Areas. Further, the proposed development is consistent with the Natural Hazards
policies of the PPS, as the proposed development is located outside of the hazardous lands
identified by the Long Point Conservation Authority.
The proposal is in conformity with the County of Elgin Official Plan policies, which strongly
encourages and directs development within Tier 1’ Settlement Areas. Although this portion of Vienna
is currently not serviced by full municipal servicing and utilizes private well and septic servicing, the
Hydrogeological Study prepared in support of this Official Plan Amendment demonstrates no
negative impacts to the ground water. Further, County of Elgin Official Plan encourages a range of
commercial development within the Settlement Areas in order to service residents within the area.
The proposal would provide for a commercial use that conforms with the applicable policies of the
Municipality of Bayham’s Official Plan, particularly those relating to commercial development within
settlement areas (specifically “Villages”). The Site-Specific text pertaining to this redesignation to the
“Commercial” designation further specifies the exact use being proposed (i.e. Micro-Distillery with
an ancillary Interpretation and Information Centre). As previously mentioned, the proposed
development would also be located outside of the hazardous lands, thus conforming to the Natural
Hazard Lands policies of the Official Plan.
4. DETAILS OF THE AMENDMENT
a) Section 4.5.5 of the Official Plan of the Municipality of Bayham is hereby amended by adding the
following subsection:
4.5.5.11 The lands identified as Part Block F N/S Creek Rd Plan 54 Designated as Parts 23
and 24 11R6158 and Part 1 11R6159; S/T LT38430; Bayham, and municipally known
as 92 Edison Drive shall be designated “Site-Specific Commercial” to permit the
development of a Micro-Distillery use with an ancillary Interpretation and Information
Centre on private services, in addition to the policies of Section 4.5.5.
b) Schedule ‘C’ of the Municipality of Bayham Official Plan is hereby amended by changing the symbol
for land use designation from “‘Open Space” and “Hazard Lands” to “Commercial” for the lands
outlined in bold on the following attached Schedule.

Dear Premier Ford:
Re: Proposal to End Daylight Savings Time in Ontario
Please be advised that the Council of the Township of Otonabee-South Monaghan at its
meeting on April 28th, 2025 passed the following resolution:
R107-2025
Moved by Councillor Terry Holmes
Seconded by Councillor Mark Allen
Whereas Ontario already has the legislative framework to end the antiquated practice
of Daylight Saving Time (DST), as per the Time Amendment Act of 2020: But New York
has delayed us for over 4 long years.
And Whereas the Case for Ending DST immediately pertains to clear and present Health
and Public Safety concerns: Clock shifts spike heart attacks, accidents, and stress, per the
Canadian Society for Chronobiology. Kids lose focus, domestic violence rises, and
vulnerable folks—mentally ill, homeless, addicts—face unnecessary strain and relapse
risks. Indigenous health gaps deepen as DST clashes with traditions. Standard Time aligns
with nature, easing healthcare burdens and healthcare costs.
And Whereas ending DST is a clear and permanent assertion of the economic
independence of Ontario: Our new, post tariff economic reality exposes the reliance on
New York for our internal policy as outdated. Ontario should look out for Ontarians, and

P.O. Box 70 20 Third St Keene, ON K0L 2G0 Visit our website at www.osmtownship.ca
our sovereignty must be asserted. Quebec already considers the change; so 15 million
Ontarians should not continue to wait on NY. Businesses will adapt; citizens will gain
stability. Over 100,000 petition voices and 70% of Ontarians agree. Ontario must take the
lead, and hopefully NY can eventually follow our lead for the good of their own people.
Therefore be it resolved that we request staff to distribute this communication to all the
Municipalities, Chiefs & Councils of Ontario in addition to the Premier of the Govt. of
Ontario and urge the Premier to:
1. Amend the Time Amendment Act 2020 to drop New York’s contingency,
effective immediately.
2. Set permanent Standard Time (EST) from November 2, 2025.
CARRIED.

Presentation by Long Point Region Conservation Authority Staff
Leigh-Anne Mauthe introduced the Agent, Kim Dziegiel, and applicants Julie Michaud and Rosa Da Silva, and then proceeded to present the staff report and presentation. Staff recommended refusal to grant a permit for this application for the following reasons: 1. The construction of the proposed structure within and adjacent to the slope is contrary to Long Point Region Conservation Authority policies for development in the Riverine Erosion
hazard. These policies have been implemented to reduce or eliminate preventable risk to life and property damage from erosion and unstable slopes, and 2. The control of erosion is affected by the development in that it increases the potential for damage from slope instability and erosion. 6. Presentation by the Applicant
Kim Dziegiel, Agent, addressed the Board on behalf of the Applicant requesting approval of the
application.
Kim Dziegiel, addressed the Board on behalf of the Applicant requesting approval of the application. A presentation was submitted by the applicant in advance of the hearing and included in the agenda package. Kim Dziegiel reviewed the submitted documents. Ms. Dziegiel highlighted the engineered designs and the engineer stamp of approval on those designs and the letter of support for the designs. Ms. Dziegiel mentioned that a geo-technical engineer will also be brought in. Ms. Dziegiel noted that there is no other spot on the property for the garage to go. 7. Questions There were no questions from Staff or the applicant. Staff and the proponent responded to questions from the Board.
Mike Columbus asked Kim Dziegiel who the geo-technical engineer is. Kim Dziegiel responded that they had not hired the geo-technical engineer yet, but will be getting one. Chris Van Paassen asked if there was anyway to move the garage closer to the road or to move it a few feet at all as the slope there is a problem. Kim Dziegiel informed the board that the reasoning for the placement of the garage has to do with the placement of the existing house. The garage
FULL AUTHORITY COMMITTEE MEMBERS Shelley Ann Bentley, Dave Beres, Doug Brunton, Robert Chambers, Michael Columbus, Tom Masschaele, Jim Palmer, Rainey Weisler, Chris Van Paassen, Peter Ypma - 3 -
placed where the drawings have it allows for it to be attached to the house. Robert Chambers asked Kim Dziegiel to her knowledge was there any slope failures on that slope over the last 10 to 20 years. Kim Dziegiel responded to her knowledge in the negative. The members entered the closed session of the Hearing Board at 6:52 p.m.
A-39/25 Moved by M. Columbus Seconded by S. Bentley THAT the LPRCA Hearing Board does now enter into a closed session to discuss:
• Litigation or potential litigation, including matters before administrative tribunals (e.g. Local
Planning Appeal Tribunal), affecting the Authority. Carried 8. Reconvene in Public Forum The LPRCA Hearing Board reconvened in open session at 7:11 p.m. 9. Hearing Board Decision for LPRCA-191/24 The Chair advised Julie Michaud and Rosa Da Silva that the permit has been refused. The Notice of Decision will be forwarded by staff. 10. Chair’s Opening Remarks for Hearing LPRCA-51/25 The Chair’s opening remarks for LPRCA-51/25 Scott McKinney were read and the guidelines and process to be followed for the hearing were reviewed. 11. Presentation by Long Point Region Conservation Authority Staff Leigh-Anne Mauthe introduced the Agent, David McPherson and applicants Scott and Sue
McKinney, and proceeded to present the staff report and presentation. Staff recommended refusal to grant a permit for this application for the following reasons: 1. The construction of the proposed structure adjacent to the unstable slope is contrary to Long Point Region Conservation Authority policies for development in the Lake Erie Shoreline Erosion hazard. These policies have been implemented to reduce or eliminate preventable risk to life and property damage from erosion and unstable slopes, and 2. The control of erosion is affected by the development in that it increases the potential for damage from slope instability and erosion. 12. Presentation by the Applicant David McPherson addressed the Board on behalf of the Applicant requesting approval of the application. David McPherson presented to the board the work the applicants are proposing. The land was purchased by the McKinney’s in 2010. In 2021, the McKinney’s hired G. Douglas Vallee to construct a carport which was approved by LPRCA and Norfolk County with no objections to
FULL AUTHORITY COMMITTEE MEMBERS Shelley Ann Bentley, Dave Beres, Doug Brunton, Robert Chambers, Michael Columbus, Tom Masschaele, Jim Palmer, Rainey Weisler, Chris Van Paassen, Peter Ypma - 4 -
the concept of the building. The final inspection was approved in 2022. The house on the property was extensively renovated in 2023, finalized in 2024 with the approval of Norfolk County and LPRCA. In January of 2025, the McKinney’s put in an application to enclose the carport, and was refused as the application becomes a major development and can become habitable space. David McPherson notes that the existing footprint of the carport will not change, and the
additional breezeway of 122 feet is not equal to habitable space. David McPherson argues that
the changing of the carport to a garage and the addition of the breezeway will have no effect
on rainwater discharge, will not affect the slope stability, will not cause new erosion or negatively affect the control of erosion, will not add any additional structural load on the bank, and is above the storm surge level and current lake level.
David McPherson informs the Board that all along the shoreline in front of the property is steel and concrete blocks which should allow for a lesser allowance to the setbacks. David McPherson discussed how this proposed development is in accord with and not contrary to the Provincial Policy Statement, the Conservation Authorities Act Section 28 Regulation, and the Norfolk County official plan. 13. Questions There were no questions from Staff or the applicant. Staff and the proponent responded to questions from the Board. Chris Van Paassen asked if the shoreline protection installed at the beach was all the way across to other neighbours and not just in front of the McKinney’s. David McPherson
responded in the positive, and Scott McKinney informed the board that there is concrete block next to the steel on one side and steel all along the other side. Doug Brunton asked about the geodetic elevation level and the garage floor elevation. David McPherson informed the board that the geodetic elevation was 175.5 and that the garage floor was 191.09, making it a difference of 16.99. The members entered the closed session of the Hearing Board at 7:45 p.m. Peter Ypma recused himself from the closed session as he was not present for the entirety of the applicant’s presentation.

REPORT
TREASURY DEPARTMENT
TO: Mayor & Members of Council
FROM: Lorne James, Treasurer
DATE: May 15, 2025
REPORT: TR-12/25 SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT CHARGES STUDY – FIRE, ROADS, PARKS AND
RECREATION BACKGROUND At its May 1, 2025 meeting, Council received a presentation from Byron Tan (Watson and Associates Ltd.) regarding a homogenous development charge that includes fire services, public
works, and parks and recreation. Council provided the following motion: Moved by: Deputy Mayor Weisler
Seconded by: Councillor Emerson THAT the presentation from Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. re Municipality of
Bayham Development Charges Background Study be received for information. DISCUSSION Council asked some specific questions of the presentation, and asked how Bayham compared to Malahide for development charge (DC) rates. A comparison of the two municipalities is as follows: Municipality Single Other Apartment Bachelor Special Care Non Residential
(/ft2)
Malahide $10,957 $8,665 $6,697 $4,295 $3,529 $3.98
Bayham $11,411 $7,370 $5,872 $3,455 $3,297 $4.82
A breakdown of the Malahide homogenous DC is attached to visualize the apportionment of the DC to applicable functional areas.
When comparing the above, Bayham is higher in single and semi-detached dwelling by 4.1 percent and non-residential per square foot by 21 percent. All other classes Bayham is lower in development charges. Council could consider reducing the two above classes down, or
reducing the number of items projected in the DC-eligible capital item lists. Council requested a detailed list of DC Capital items included in the calculation for the
development charges. All eligible capital items included in the sub classes is attached to this Report. The Straffordville Community Centre is not included in the DCs in the initial draft, but aspects of the project are considered as DC-eligible, including the cistern, part of the expansion
deemed growth-related, and the Old Chapel parking lot and accessible walkway. As a refresh for Council, the Bayham DC presentation from May 1, 2025 is attached for Council’s review. STRATEGIC PLAN 3.2: Quality of Governance > To continually demonstrate financial responsibility to the

Methodology for Calculating a D.C.
The following provides the overall methodology to calculating the charge:
1.Identify amount, type and location of growth
2.Identify servicing needs to accommodate growth
3.Identify capital costs to provide services to meet the needs
4.Deduct:
i.Grants, subsidies and other contributions
ii.Benefit to existing development
iii.Amounts in excess of 15-year historical service calculation
iv.D.C. Reserve funds (where applicable)
5.Net costs then allocated between residential and non-residential benefit
6.Net costs divided by growth to calculate the D.C.9

REPORT
CAO
TO: Mayor & Members of Council
FROM: Thomas Thayer, Chief Administrative Officer
DATE: May 15, 2025
REPORT: CAO-25/25 SUBJECT: STOP-UP, CLOSE, AND CONVEY – PART 1 ON PLAN 11R-11305 – PART OF
FOURTH STREET, STRAFFORDVILLE
BACKGROUND At its February 20, 2025 meeting, Council received Report CAO-12/25 re Acquisition / Stop-up, Close, and Convey of Part 1 – Plan 11R-11305 – Fourth Street, Straffordville. The Report identified interest from two landowners to complete a transfer of lands, whereby Soreny Farms Ltd. would sell a parcel of land to the Straffordville Evangelical Mennonite Church (EMC) so the
EMC could expand their parking lot to the north. The Municipality, however, had an interest in a part of the Fourth Street road allowance (Part 1 on Plan 11R-11305), which had to be stopped-up, closed, and formally conveyed. The solution was for the Municipality to acquire Part 1 on
Plan 11R-11305 from Soreny Farms Ltd. for nominal consideration, stop-up and close the road allowance, and then convey same to the Straffordville EMC for nominal consideration and with the EMC reimbursing the Municipality for its costs. Council passed the following motion:
Moved by: Councillor Chilcott Seconded by: Councillor Froese THAT Report CAO-12/25 re Acquisition / Stop-up, Close, and Convey of Part 1 – Plan 11R-11305 – Fourth Street, Straffordville, be received for information; AND THAT the Council of The Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham authorize the acquisition of Part 1 on Plan 11R-11305, being part of Fourth Street, Straffordville, for nominal consideration to facilitate a transaction between Soreny Farms Ltd. and the Straffordville Evangelical Mennonite Church;
AND THAT the Mayor and Chief Administrative Officer be authorized to execute any documents necessary to complete the acquisition;
AND THAT the Council of The Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham declares Part 1 on Plan 11R-11305 surplus to the needs of the Municipality for purposes of conveyance to the Straffordville Evangelical Mennonite Church;
AND THAT staff commence the appropriate public comment period to stop-up, close, and convey Part 1 on Plan 11R-11305 to the Straffordville Evangelical Mennonite Church, with all of the Municipality’s legal and survey costs being paid by the Straffordville Evangelical Mennonite Church. In accordance with Council’s direction, documents to authorize the acquisition of Part 1
on Plan 11R-11305 for nominal consideration were executed. A comment period for the disposition of Part 1 on Plan 11R-11305 was publicly advertised from February 27, 2025 until March 13, 2025 – 14 days. Public Notice was published on the Municipal
website and in the Aylmer Express. The Notice is attached hereto for Council’s information.
At its March 20, 2025 meeting, Council received Report CAO-16/25 re Public Comments Received – Stop-up, Closed, and Convey – Part 1 on Plan 11R-11305 – Part of Fourth Street, Straffordville. The Report identified that no public comments were received about the stop-up, close and conveyance proposed for Part 1 on Plan 11R-11305. Council passed the following motion: Moved by: Councillor Emerson Seconded by: Deputy Mayor Weisler THAT Report CAO-16/25 re Public Comments Received – Stop-up, Closed, and Convey – Part 1 on Plan 11R-11305 – Part of Fourth Street, Straffordville be received for
information; AND THAT Council acknowledges that there were no public comments received during
the comment period on this file;
AND THAT the Council of The Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham directs the stop-up, close, and conveyance of Part 1 on Plan 11R-11305 to the Trustees of the Straffordville Evangelical Mennonite Church;
AND THAT the appropriate by-law be brought forward for Council’s consideration. By-law No. 2025-023 was adopted later in the same meeting. DISCUSSION As Council is aware, the intent of the stop-up, close, and convey is to facilitate land assembly by
the Straffordville Evangelical Mennonite Church (EMC) to expand their parking lot to the north. The Municipality was required to address the interest in the Fourth Street road allowance, identified as Part 1 on Plan 11R-11305, and it was recommended to acquire same from Soreny Farms Ltd. to formally stop-up and close the Part. The lands would then be transferred to the Trustees of the Straffordville Evangelical Mennonite Church, all for nominal consideration. In April 2025, the solicitor for the purchaser engaged staff to advise of an issue with the disposition to the Trustees of the Straffordville EMC. The issue is in regards to land transfer tax. As the transfer to and from Bayham are for nominal consideration, no land transfer tax applies; however, since the lands are assembled from Soreny Farms Ltd. and, as staff understand it, there is a requirement for the transfer to have land transfer tax payable. The Municipality is not
responsible for land transfer tax in this regard, and for all documentation to align on the matter, the Municipality must proceed in a different manner in regards to the party receiving Part 1 on
Plan 11R-11305 from the Municipality. Staff recommend rescission of the March 20, 2025 motion and repeal of By-law No. 2025-023,
being actions and documents supporting the disposition to the Trustees of the Straffordville EMC. Staff further recommend new direction to convey the lands back to Soreny Farms Ltd. so they can transfer directly to the Trustees of the Straffordville EMC, which will allow for land transfer matters to be rectified. STRATEGIC PLAN Not applicable. RECOMMENDATION
1. THAT Report CAO-25/25 re Stop-up, Close, and Convey – Part 1 on Plan 11R-11305 – Part of Fourth Street, Straffordville be received for information;
2. AND THAT Council rescinds its previous motion from March 20, 2025 in regards to Report CAO-16/25 to convey Part 1 on Plan 11R-11305 to the Trustees of the Straffordville Evangelical Mennonite Church;
3. AND THAT By-law No. 2025-023 be repealed;
4. AND THAT the Council of The Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham directs the
stop-up, close, and conveyance of Part 1 on Plan 11R-11305 to Soreny Farms Ltd.;
5. AND THAT the appropriate by-law be brought forward for Council’s consideration. Respectfully Submitted by: Thomas Thayer, CMO, AOMC Chief Administrative Officer

SUBJECT: 1498855 Ontario Inc. (c/o Timothy Emerson)
92 Edison Drive, Vienna
The following text constitutes Amendment No. 39 to the Official Plan of the Municipality of Bayham
OFFICIAL PLAN
OF THE
MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM
THIS Amendment was adopted by the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham by By-law
No. 2025-037, in accordance with Section 17 of the PLANNING ACT, on the 15th day of May 2025.

BY-LAW NO. 2025-037
THE Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham, in accordance with the provisions of the PLANNING ACT, hereby enacts as follows:
1) THAT Amendment No. 39 to the Official Plan of the Municipality of Bayham is hereby adopted.
2) THAT the Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to make an application to the County of Elgin for approval of the aforementioned Amendment No. 39 to the Official Plan of the Municipality of Bayham.

ENACTED AND PASSED this 15th day of May 2025.
MAYOR CLERK
OFFICIAL PLAN
OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM
AMENDMENT NO. 39
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment is to designate the south-western portion of the subject
property from the ‘Open Space’ and ‘Hazard Lands’ designation to the ‘Commercial’ designation in
order to facilitate the development of a proposed Micro Distillery use with an ancillary Interpretation
and Information Centre on private services within an existing building.
The existing designation currently does not permit the proposed use. Further, Section 4.5.5 of the
Official Plan does not specifically permit a Micro Distillery use within the “Commercial” designation,
therefore, an Official Plan Amendment is required to redesignate the south-western portion of the
subject property and include the proposed Micro Distillery use with an ancillary Interpretation and
Information Centre on private services as a permitted use.
The Official Plan Amendment also would facilitate the concurrent Zoning By-law Amendment
Application to rezone the south-western portion of the subject property from ‘Holding Village
Residential 1 (R1(h2))’ Zone to a ‘Site-Specific Tourist Commercial (C3-2)’ Zone to permit the
proposed use.
2. LOCATION
The Official Plan Amendment will be applicable to lands known as Part Block F N/S Creek Rd Plan
54 Designated as Parts 23 and 24 11R6158 and Part 1 11R6159; S/T LT38430; Bayham, and
municipally known as 92 Edison Drive in the Village of Vienna.
3. BASIS OF THE AMENDMENT
The subject lands are characterized as an agricultural property that is currently used for agricultural
purposes, including livestock farming, and is located in the Village of Vienna. An existing single-
detached dwelling, as well as several farm related buildings and/or structures are located on the
subject property.
The subject lands have a total lot area of approximately 38.85 hectares (96 acres), and estimated
lot frontage of 156.7 metres (514.1 feet) along Edison Drive, lot width of 206.5 metres (677.5 feet),
a lot depth of 949.2 metres (3,114.1 feet). The surrounding lands are predominantly agricultural, with
two (2) residential properties being located on either side of the subject lands along Edison Drive.
Further, immediately to the south is the Big Otter Creek, with the associated natural hazards.
The south-western portion to be redesignated is approximately 2,854 square metres (0.2854
hectares) in size. This area will consist of the existing building to be converted/utilized for the
purposes of proposed Micro Distillery use with an ancillary Interpretation and Information Centre.
This area also consists of a large gravel parking area.
The proposed amendment is consistent with the policies of the new Provincial Planning Statement
(PPS), whereby a mix of land uses, such as commercial development, is permitted and encouraged
within Settlement Areas. Further, the proposed development is consistent with the Natural Hazards
policies of the PPS, as the proposed development is located outside of the hazardous lands
identified by the Long Point Conservation Authority.
The proposal is in conformity with the County of Elgin Official Plan policies, which strongly
encourages and directs development within Tier 1’ Settlement Areas. Although this portion of Vienna
is currently not serviced by full municipal servicing and utilizes private well and septic servicing, the
Hydrogeological Study prepared in support of this Official Plan Amendment demonstrates no
negative impacts to the ground water. Further, County of Elgin Official Plan encourages a range of
commercial development within the Settlement Areas in order to service residents within the area.
The proposal would provide for a commercial use that conforms with the applicable policies of the
Municipality of Bayham’s Official Plan, particularly those relating to commercial development within
settlement areas (specifically “Villages”). The Site-Specific text pertaining to this redesignation to the
“Commercial” designation further specifies the exact use being proposed (i.e. Micro-Distillery with
an ancillary Interpretation and Information Centre). As previously mentioned, the proposed
development would also be located outside of the hazardous lands, thus conforming to the Natural
Hazard Lands policies of the Official Plan.
4. DETAILS OF THE AMENDMENT
a) Section 4.5.5 of the Official Plan of the Municipality of Bayham is hereby amended by adding the
following subsection:
4.5.5.11 The lands identified as Part Block F N/S Creek Rd Plan 54 Designated as Parts 23
and 24 11R6158 and Part 1 11R6159; S/T LT38430; Bayham, and municipally known
as 92 Edison Drive shall be designated “Site-Specific Commercial” to permit the
development of a Micro-Distillery use with an ancillary Interpretation and Information
Centre on private services, in addition to the policies of Section 4.5.5.
b) Schedule ‘C’ of the Municipality of Bayham Official Plan is hereby amended by changing the symbol
for land use designation from “‘Open Space” and “Hazard Lands” to “Commercial” for the lands
outlined in bold on the following attached Schedule.
