OPTIONS/DISCUSSION: The site is located on the north side of Highway 2 East and is located on the north side of Highway 2 and is situated between Resort Road to the west and MacAlpine Road to the east and is approximately 1.7 kilometres west of the easterly City of Kingston limits. The property is northwest of the estate residential subdivision on Mac Alpine Road, is surrounded by larger rural lots, and north of Firman’s Creek. The property is accessed from Highway 2, an arterial road. The subject site is approximately 2.1 acres in size and is known municipally as 4076 Highway 2 East (see Exhibit A – Key Map). The property is developed with an existing residential dwelling and out buildings. The proposed 10 metre by 10 metre enclosed compound is proposed to be located adjacent to Highway 2. Engineering has indicated that all construction is to remain on the private lands and not encroach onto the City’s right-of-way including the fencing for the compound. During the initial site plan process, Xplornet revised the location of the proposed communications tower to a new property to the north of the original proposed location. The communications tower will now be located at 4076 Highway 2. Xplornet has provided an amended Development Approvals Application and drawings for the revised location. An amended Technical Circulation was circulated to the internal and external groups for review and comment. The revised Technical Circulation for 4076 Highway 2 East has been reviewed by technical staff and agencies and comments have been incorporated in the report. The tower is in keeping with Industry Canada’s CPC-2-0-03 protocol. This tower type will be required to comply with all rules and regulations set forth by Industry Canada including Transport and NAV Canada and Health Canada. Xplornet Broadband Inc. has submitted Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 Site Validation report for the protection of the general public including any combined effects of nearby installations within the local radio environment. The KFL& A Health Unit has indicated that they have no objection to the proposed Site Plan Approval. There are no schools within proximity of the subject lands. Industry Canada directs telecommunication proponents to consult with the local municipality prior to the installation of a non-exempt telecommunication tower. The City’s Site Plan application process is an existing process which provides the City the opportunity to review and comment on proposed telecommunication towers and cannot regulate the location, size or specific features of the tower. The proposed telecommunication facilities are not required to comply with the City’s Zoning By-law and Official Plan and are not required to obtain site plan approval under The Planning Act. The Proponent is not required to enter into a Site Plan Agreement with the City. The City’s response to the Proponent and Industry Canada will take into consideration all comments provided by the internal/external groups as well as comments received from the public. Industry Canada is the final approval authority for telecommunication facilities.

Attached is previous research prepared by Ian MacDonald Gemmill, Medical Office of Health of the KFL&A Public Health Unit, which indicates that the proposed cellular tower does not pose a risk to the general public with respect to radio frequency exposure. According to The Safety Code 6 Statement of Compliance, dated May 28, 2013, and produced by Xplornet Broadband Inc., the proposed site is in compliance with Safety Code 6, the limits mandated in Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 (Exhibit D).

The following land uses surround the subject site:

• North – Existing Rural lands designated Prime Agricultural Area and Environmental Protection;

• East – Existing Residential and Rural lands designated Prime Agricultural Area and Environmental Protection;

• South – Existing Estate Residential and Rural lands designated Rural Area and Estate Residential; and

• West – Existing Residential and Rural lands designated Prime Agricultural Area and Environmental Protection.

The subject property is designated ‘Prime Agricultural Area’ and ‘Environmental Protection Area’ in the Official Plan for the City of Kingston and zoned ‘A1’ in the former Township of Pittsburgh Zoning By-Law No. 32-74. The 45.0 metre communications tower will be located on the north side of Highway 2 East as per the attached plans. The tower will provide internet service to the surrounding area of the City of Kingston. The proposal is consistent with City policies and Provincial land use policies. An application for site plan control has been submitted and has been reviewed by technical staff. Correspondence has been provided to the Applicant and all concerns noted in the technical comments have been addressed to date. EXISTING POLICY/BY LAW: Section 1.6.6 of the Provincial Policy Statement identifies the protection of transportation and infrastructure corridors. The proposed tower will not interfere with the operation of the airport, railway lines or the electricity corridor; therefore, it is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement. Official Plan Context: The subject site is designated as ‘Prime Agricultural Area’ and ‘Environmental Protection Area’ in the Official Plan for the City of Kingston and the tower will be located on lands designated ‘Prime Agricultural Area’ and will be located outside the lands designated as ‘Environmental Protection Area’. The goal of the Prime Agricultural Area is to protect land suitable for long term agricultural production from scattered development and other land uses that are unrelated to agriculture, and to encourage its long term use for food production. Section 3.12.18 indicates that the intent of any planned Transportation or Utility Corridor within the City is to minimize

38


- -

disruption to the farm unit, agricultural operations and farm community. It is important to minimize the adverse effects of such infrastructure proposals, and ensure adequate drainage, and accommodation for the movement of farm machinery along City roads. The goal of Environmental Protection Areas, as per Section 3.10 of the Official Plan, is to preserve the ecosystem role that Environmental Protection Areas play in sustaining the natural heritage system of the City and the broader region. The intent of Section 3.1.4 of the Official Plan is to permit freestanding wireless telecommunication towers in all land use designations, except in areas shown as Residential or Environmental Protection Areas where the structure would conflict with environmental objectives of the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority or Parks Canada. The shared use of transmission facilities is encouraged to minimize the need for additional structures. As the proposed communication tower is now proposed to be located outside the wetland area, designated as Environmental Protection Area, the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority has indicated that they have no objection to the application. Zoning By-Law Context: The subject site is located in the ‘A1’ Restricted Rural Zone in the Township of Pittsburgh Zoning By-Law No. 32-74. The tower will be constructed to a height of 45.0 metres (150 feet). There is not a maximum height provision in the ‘A1’ Restricted Rural Zone. As indicated above, the tower is regulated by Transport Canada and Nav Canada and therefore not subject to the City’s Zoning By-Law. NOTICE PROVISIONS: Signage advising of the site plan application has been posted on the subject property. A notice of Public Forum (Exhibit G) was mailed to property owners within 120 metres of the proposal. To date no comments have been received. ACCESSIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS: There is no accessibility considerations included in this report. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: No financial implications are to be considered with this report.

Grant C. Bain, Director, and Planning & Development 613-546-4291 ext 3252 CITY OF KINGSTON STAFF CONSULTED: No other staff was consulted. OTHER CITY OF KINGSTON STAFF CONSULTED: At the time of the writing of this report, responses to the amended Technical Circulation have been received from the internal and external groups. Comments had been received from Utilities Kingston, Fire & Rescue, Forestry, Heritage, Environment, the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority and the KFL&A Health Unit indicating that they had no concerns. Engineering had indicated that all construction is to remain on private lands and not encroach onto the City’s right of way including the perimeter fence. Parks Development had recommended that additional landscaping be provided around the fenced compound to provide screening from Highway 2. The Building & Licensing Department had noted that the applicant is required to submit a Building Permit prior to the construction of the tower. Development and impost fees may be applicable. The Airport had indicated that a review by NavCanada is required to ensure the towers do not impact air navigation. Hydro One Networks Inc. had indicated that the tower facility may be in close proximity to either high or low voltage transmission facilities. Hydro One Networks Inc. assumes no liability in the event that such towers cause damage of any kind to Hydro One’s facilities. Any impact or damages would be at the expense of the proponent. The following condition from Hydro One Networks Inc. will be included in the letter of approval: “The transmission lines in the vicinity of the proposed tower installation operate at either high or low voltages. Section 188- Proximity – of the Regulations for Construction Projects in the Occupational Health and Safety Act, require that no object be brought closer than 6 metres (20 feet) to energized high voltage conductors, or 3 metres (10 feet) for low voltage conductors. It is the proponent’s responsibility to be aware, and to make all personnel on site aware, that all equipment and personnel must come no closer than the distance specified in the Act. They should also be aware that the conductors can raise and lower without warning, depending on the electrical demand placed on the line.” EXHIBITS ATTACHED: Exhibit A - Key Map Exhibit B - Site Plan Drawings Exhibit C - Aerial Photo (2011) Exhibit D - Safety Code 6 Site Statement of Compliance – Xplornet Broadband Inc.

1. Purpose

As per Industry Canada in GL-08, "it is the responsibility of proponents and operators of

radiocommunication and braadcasting instal/ations to ensure that their facilities comply with Health

Canada's Safety Code 6 at 01/ times, taking into consideration the local radio environment. Compliance

with Safety Code 6 is an ongoing obligation. Therefore, at any time, antenna system operators may be

required to provide a copy of their radio frequency (RF) exposure compliance reports to Industry Canada as

proof of ongoing compliance. Proponents and operators of existing antenna systems must retain copies of

01/ information related to Safety Code 6 compliance, SUGh as analyses and measurements."

This document provides Safety Code 6 information satisfying these requirements.

2. Summary

Safety Code 6 specifies that the general public must not be exposed to power densities greater than those

specified in section 3. The calculated power density for publicly accessible areas at Campbell Maxwell is

below the Safety Code 6 exposure limit for the general public, as shown in section 6.

The following safety steps have been taken, as per Industry Canada guidelines:

• Anticlimb to be installed

• Warning signs to be installed

Safety Code 6 Statement of Compliance Page 3 of 12

3. RF exposure calcul~tions and Safety Code 6

Xplornet uses IXUS Modeller to model and dempnstrate RF exposure compliance with Health Canada' s

Safety Code 6. IXUS Modeller is produced by EM Software & Systems, w ho specialize in electromagnetic

simulation software. The IXUS software uses ray tracing techniques to numerically simulate the

electromagnetic fields produced by wireless communications antennas. The algorithms implemented and

used for the computational assessment in IXUS Modeller are an implementation of the ray t racing

synthetic model as detailed in ITU-T K.61, CENELEC S0383, and draft IEC62232 [emsixus.com, posted

March 22, 2011].

Re: Propnsed Cellular Tr~nsmissi.on Towers ·on Lands Owned by the City of Kingston

Dear Dr. Gemmill : . .

At the November 25, 2008 regular meeting: of Klng-stoh City Ct;:iuncn. Crty staff recommended leasing City owned lands to Bell Mob11ity Inc. for the installatf0n of cellular transmission towers. C0uncil deferred ·the recommendation and pas·sed a motion referring the matter in part to the p·ublic Health Department with regard to health effects. The Report to Council and the Counoil Motions are attached to this letter for you information. ·

We under.stand that the KFL&A is. aware that Industry Canada regulates the constructron of celluia:r transmiss~on sites by way of general and technical requirements to ensure that Health Canada's Safety Code 6 is strictly adhere·d to . Attached are Safety Code 6 Si1e. Validation reports produ.ced by Sell Mobility. There· is one report each for the Centre 70 site .and the Woodbine Park site (Sites 1 & 2). ·

Bell 'Mobility has selected a third city-owned site on which it proposes to lease. for a celluJ·ar transmission tower. This came about after th~ staff rep6rt went' fo coun~il. This is located immediately east of the Sir John A. Macdonald Blvd. overpass and immediately north of the CN.r:ail tracks (a sketch is attached).

All three sites have schools near the propo~ed tower lo~ations : . .

Site 1: Centre 70, P~bli<:; Hockey Arena, Our Lady of Lourdes School 1 i~ approximately 175m from tower

Site 2: W oodbine Park, .Public.Park. Kingston Christian School .is approxi.mate·ly 240m·from tower

Site 3: Sir John A. Macdonald Blvd, 1n·dustrial Par!<., Ecole second·aire catholique Marie-Rivier is approximately 320m from ~ower.

According to the reports produced by Bell Mobif.ity, all thre-e proposed locations produce ground level radio frequency exposure levels well below the liniiis mandated in Health Canada's Safety Code 6.

As directed by City Co-unctl, this ~etter res.pectfufly requests the KFL&A to comment on the health effects of Gellular {r'ansmiss·ion towers. Does tbe KFL&A have a.ny GOncerhs with regard to health effects from the installa:tion ceflular transmission towers? ·
