REPORT TO COUNCIL
Mayor Mills and Members of GouncilRon Mills, Planner
DATE: May 28,2014
SUBJECT: Motorcycle Races/Rallies
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council receive the report of Planner Ron Mills on the two off-roadmotorcycle races/rallies planned to take place in 2014 in the Township andaccept the recommendations contained therein.
BACKGROUND:
Off Road Ontario has apparently been running races/rallies for street legalmotorcycles at two separate locations involving a number of private propertiesand public roads and unmaintained road allowances in Mulmur Township forseveral years, perhaps longer. This year, the Halton Off Road Riders Association(HORRA) is sponsoring two events, one referred to as the "Mansfield" raceinvolving the Matthews property (and others) in Concessions 718in the vicinity ofthe Boyne River, scheduled to take place on Sunday, June 1, and a second,referred to as the 'Terra Nova' race involving properties not yet identified to usand including a number of sections of Township roads and unmaintained roadallowances.
Last year and this, the latter has resulted in complaints to the Township andsince that race is to take place in August, the complainant has asked íf the raceis legal and whether it can be stopped. Several years ago, a fatality occurred atthe race held on the Matthews properly. The Township has not been formallynotified of either event and, at the time of writing this report, very few details haveyet been provided to the Township. Attached is a copy of the e-mail chain thathas resulted to date, and it includes a copy of relevant Township Official Planpolicies and zoning regulations (existing and soon to be approved), as well as acopy of a By-law passed in 1976 that "prohibits motor vehicle rallies on highwaysin the Township of Mulmur". The latest e-mail briefly outlines the situation andoffers the opinion that neither event conforms to current Township policies andrequirements.
Page 99 of 222
Given the timing of this report and the Council meeting relatíve to the 'Mansfield'race, and the lack of sufficient opportunity to obtain direction and take actions toprevent that race I have simply informed them that:
1) permission has not been sought or obtained from the Township touse unmaintained road allowances as a means of providing publicaccess to private lands where the race is being held, and;
2) permission has not been sought or obtained from the Township touse portions of any Township road allowances as part of the iacecourse.
The organizers claím to have insurance coverage in place and I have requestedproof that that is indeed the case prior to the June 1st race.
ln anticipation that the Zoning By-law up-date will be approved by the OntarioMunicipal Board before the August race, I have advised HORRA tñat they mustseek and obtain prior approval of a 'Temporary use By-law'. such a by-law mustgenerally conform to the Official Plan, it would apply for a specified period notexceeding three years (although extensions may be possible after the initialapproval period) and it would serve as a means of informing the public andseeking their input, as well as for ensuring that appropriãte controls andconditions are imposed (for example, naming the Townslrip as an additionalinsured party on their insurance policy, repairing damaged property, fences, etc.).
It should be noted that the Official Plan provides that motor vehicle racinq shallnot generally be permitted. Both the Official Plan and the up-dated ZoningÉy-lawcontemplate the possibility of a motor vehicle rally, if permitted in a Temp oraryUse By-law. lt remains to be determined whether these events could be deemedto be anything other than races and, if they involve any public highway (includingunmaintained road allowances), it would appear that tlre 1g76 By-¡¿y7 prohibiting'Rallies, given the definition of "rally in that by-law would have tó be rescinded õramended if such events were to be approved in future.
Recommendation: '
l) That Gouncil consider an application for a Temporary use By-law forthe "Terra Nova" event scheduled for August 2014, and
2) That approval of that event, as well as the appropriateness ofextending the approval to any future similar event(s) be based onpublic comment and input received and the sponsor's willingnessand ability to meet the Township's requirements and conditions ofapproval, and;
Page 100 of 222
3) That, if a Temporary use by-law for any such event is not approved,the sponsors be advised that the event must be cancelled, failingwhich enforcement actions be taken (an injunction be obtained ifnecessary) to prevent the event from taking place.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Some unrecoverable costs have been incurred. Enforcement actions couldprove very expensive. The cost of processing an application for atemporary use by-law would be fully recoverable from the applicant.

very least, the following information as soon as possible.
L. Thelocationoftheevent,includingtheprivatepropertiesandpropertyowners,roadsandroadallowancesinvolved (ie. a detailed and accurate proposed route map for the event), age limitations or age classes and
requirements of participa nts.
2. An accurate and detailed description of what exactly will take place and what the participants will be
required to do to complete the even!3. anticipated number of people who will assemble at the start/finish area(s), the number of participants/bikes
involved, number of vehicles to be parked, sanitation facilities to be provided, first aid and emergency
services to be provided, etc.
4. insurance coverage, including third party liability protection for the Township if any municipal property orroads, including any unmaintained municipal roads or road allowances are to be used;
5. notification to or details of planned notification to the Township and neighbouring property owners, and;

Subject:Attachments:
I have assembled the relevant Official Plan policies and by-law provísions respecting motorvehicle races and rallìes. Thefirst one is an old by-law that has been on the books here in Mulmur for many years. lt prohibits motor vehicle racesand rallies from taking place on municipal roads and road allowances.
The second one consists of three pages and it constitutes the current Zoníng By-law provisíons. Motor vehicle rallies arepermitted only within the Recreation zone but, as you will see, motor vehicle and motor cycle racing is still notpermitted, even in that zone. lt is also not permitted in any other zone (ie. by virtue of the fact that lands and Suildingsare permitted to be used for'other sporting activíties that rely on the natural landscape' in the Recreatíon zone onlyand NOT in any other zone). Even there, the racing of motor vehicies and motorcycles is not permitted.
The next two pages are out of the up-date to our zoning by-law which, although still under appeal, is expected to comeinto force and effect at some point in the near future. lt implements the approved policies of the Official plan (the final7 pages) and only permits such events (whether on private land and/or within municipal road allowances), if approvalof a "Temporary Use By-law" has been obtained from Council.
The event taking place this Sunday on the Matthews property (among others including two crossings of the Townshiproad allowance) is not permitted under our current zoning by-law and the use of the Township road allowance(unmaintained portions) has not been authorized by CouncÍ|. lt ca not be determined, given the information we have,whether the use could be deemed to be 'legal non-conforming".
When the new zoning requirements come into effect, the August event willvery likely be'caught' by the new rules.Therefore I would suggest that an application be made ASAP for a temporary use by-law if the August event is to bepermitted to take place. I will forward an application form to Rick separately.
ln the meantime, I have asked Rick Day, the organizer of the June l- event, to provide me with more details of thisSunday's event, including a copy of the current ínsurance policy that is in place to cover this event.
A side note - it appears that a local fire department is running a refreshment booth at the June l-'t event. Does anyoneknow, is it one of ours?

Recreational Activities and Developments
A distinction is made in this Plan between recreational activities anduses, and the facilities, buildings and other developments required toaccommodate them. For ease of reference in this section, they shall bereferred to as 'recreational activities' and 'recreational developments'respectively.
Many types of recreational activities, such as cross-country skiing orhunting, are not intended to be regulated by the Township, although theymay be regulated by other agenc-ies. However, developments associatedwith these activities and uses such as, for example, a cross-country skicentre offering groomed trails, or a shooting range or hunt club, areintended to be regulated by the Township.
Recreation activities and developments contemplated in this section ofthe Plan are not intended to be permitted in some designations, wherethe establishment of the use, or the development or site alterationnecessary to support the use would not otherwise be in conformity withthe provisions of this Plan. The establishment of a recreational use inany other land use designation must conform to the specific provisions ofthe applicable designation and to the other General Provisions of thisPlan, and to that extent, where there may be a conflict, the policies of
ùP

those other sections shall prevail.
For the purposes of this Plan, recreational developments have beenplaced into one of three distinct categories; passive, active andintensive, according to the level of development and site alterationrequired to support the recreational activity and their relative potential forimpacts on the land and/or on adjacent uses.
Many activities cannot be carried out without supporling facilíties andstructures andlor site alterations. However, some activities requiring littleor no supporting infrastructure may still have a significant potential forimpacts. For this reason, some types of recreational developments havebeen elevated to a higher level of intensity in Table 1 (ie. from passive toactive or from active to intensive), and some recreational activities withthe potential to have significant impacts on the land and/or adjacent useshave also been listed, so that they may be appropriately regulated andcontrolled.
Passive recreational developments and associated activities generallyhave little or no impact on the land and surrounding uses. They do notgenerally require significant support facilities or structures.
Active recreational developments and associated activities often requiresome support facilities or structures and are generally considered tohave a low to moderate impact on the land and/or adjacent uses.
lntensive recreational developments and associated activities generallyrequire significant support facilities and structures, and/or generally havea moderate to high potentialfor impact on the land and/or adjacent uses.
ïhe classificatíon of various types of recreational developments andactivities are as shown in Table 1.
Passive recreational developments and associated activities aregenerally permitted throughout the Township and are not generallyintended to be regulated by the Township, provided they are notoperated on a commercial basis or scale.
Active and intensive recreational developments and associated activitiesare intended to be regulated by the Township. where such uses alreadyexist, they may be recognized on the Schedules to this Plan, andlorpermitted by the underlying designation on the land, and/or be existing,legal non-conforming uses.

New intensive recreational developments and associated activities shallgenerally be encouraged to locate within Settlement Areas (where theyare oriented toward and serve a local community) or in the MansfieldNorth Recreation Area (where they are oriented toward the land or abroader recreational or tourism market).
Such uses may, however, also be appropriate at other locations in theTownship (generally outside of areas desiEnated Agricultural butincluding Natural Areas, subject to the Natural Heritage Features andNatural Hazards policies of this Plan), provided adequate justification isprovided and the applicable provisions of this Plan and the NiagaraEscarpment Plan are satisfied. ln prime agricultural areas, such usesshall generally be discouraged and, if proposed, must also satisfy theapplicable provisions in Section 5.9 of this Plan.
Additional policies may be incorporated by amendment to this Plan toappropriately regulate uses established by amendment to this Plan, andadditional requirements may be included in the Zoning By-law, wheresuch uses require re-zoning, as follows:

The sudden need to evacuate and secure the track requires planning, authority, and a master plan understood by all. The
absence of such can only add to a catastrophe. Sudden need may arise from:
L. Severe weather (electrical or wind)2. Unexpected catastrophe (such as riot, bleacher collapse, or plane crash)
3. Potential catastrophe (such as bomb threat)
Whichever, the master plan is to bring order into the disorder of the circumstances being suddenly faced.
Decision Maker On a race day, a chief decision maker must be known, accessible, and with the authority to move
within established policies, procedures and criteria for action. Typically, this is delegated to the
ranking staff person present, with the chief of security helping to provide important information
and implementing the decisions.
Informed Awareness The security chief should see that information is readily processed as needed to and from
designated liaison personnel from the weather station, police/sheriff department, firedepártment, and emergency medical services. Internally, he/she should organize a
communication network with the head usher, gate and parking lot supervisors, concessionaries,
major media and key backstretch personnel.
Course of Action Directions to patrons, facility staff, and backstretch personnel for evacuation must be effective
yet as simple ãs possible, whether out of prudence (bomb threat) or out of reality (earthquake).
The routes of evacuation must be monitored against obstruction and be other than the
routes of entry by fire, police, and rescue personnel. Plans should include alternatives for
blocked routes, attentions to the parking area as well as the facility, securing the vacated
premises, and routes for incoming emergency vehicles/personnel. Horse evacuation
considerations must be exPlicit'
Communication System A "command post" should be planned as the hub for processing all information and directions
involving the decision maker, security chief all liaison personnel, and the track announcer.
Radio contact should be ready in lieu of or additional to phone contact. Advance work sessions
with all involved should include what local experts and authorities believe is the best way to
handle the respective causes of the evacuation to minimize panic among fans, etc.
Evaluation The best of planning cannot anticipate all glitches, and a practice staff communication exercise is
helpful. Als-o of help would be the sharing of the master plan with a visiting outside expert who
can review the planas it fïts the actual facility and community resources. A review of the master
plan by all perional sharing responsibility for its implementation should be done before each
meet.

WALK-THROUGHS AT MOTORSPORTS TRACKS
The risk of injury in motorsports is not limited to the divers and their crew. Spectåtors get hurt too, often from unnecessary
hazards that need to be found prior to the fact, It is principally "a matter of looking for them," but some hazards are not as
obvious as others. This is one reason why the insurance representative makes periodic visits.
Track owners and special event managers can spare themselves grief by making a "matter of looking for them," a matter ofpractice. Designated persons with designated targets of attention can make the periodic walk-throughs of the spectator area
ãn integral part ofthe operations. Have them see the grounds through the eyes ofthe excited youngster or the not-so-nimble
senior ãitir"n who are more observant of the fan around them than the nitÈy-gritty of watching their every step' Other
considerations may appear more obvious once conscious attention is given to them, such as:

lntroduction & BackgroundSuccessful energy management depends on the integration of energy efficient practices
into the "business as usual" conduct of the organization, is based on a regularassessment of energy performance, and requires the implementation of procedures and
measures to reduce energy waste and increase efficiency. Regardless of the size ofthe municipality, the common element of successful energy management is theallocation of staff and resources to continually improve energy performance.

Or¡r Cornmitment
Declaration of Commitment and Council Resolution
The Township of Mulmur will allocate the necessary resources to develop and
implement an Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan as requíred under
Regulation 397111 of the Green Energy,Acf. Council supports energy planning because
it will help avoíd cost increases, reduce our energy consumption and its related
environmental impact. Our Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan will
reduce our energy consumption and its related environmental impact as outlined in our
overall target. Council and staff will ensure that the objectives presented in this plan are
achieved and that progress towards those objectives is monitored on an ongoing basis.
Council and staff will updatethe plan as required underRegulation 397t11 of the Green
Energy Act or any subsequent legislatíon.
Vision
We will strive to continually reduce our total energy consumption and associated
greenhouse gases (GHGs) through wise and efficient use of energy and resources,
while still maintaining an efficient and effective level of service for our clients and the
general public. This will involve a collaborative effort to increase the education,
awareness, and understanding of energy management within the municipality. Total
energy consumption includes electricity, oil, propane and diesel. Thís vision can be
achieved through the integration of energy efficiency facility infrastructure, operational
efficiencies, and building the foundation for a culture of energy awareness and
knowledge within the municipality. While commitment from Council and Senior
Management is crucial, everyone has a role in the wíse use of energy and to showcase
appropriate leadership within corporate facilities and operation.
Page 136 of 222
Goals
. To improve the energy efficiency of our facilities by utilizing best practices to
reduce our operating costs, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
. ïo implement a comprehensive corporate energy management program to
reduce consumption, achieve cost savings, and meet greenhouse gas emission
targets.
. To create a culture of conservation
. To increase the comfort and safety of staff and patrons of the Township of
Mulmur's facilities.
. To improve the reliability of the Township of Mulmur's equipment and reduce
maintenance
Obieetives
ln order to meet the strategic goals of the Energy Conservation and Demand
Management Plan, there are a number of goals and objectives that align with its
development and implementation:
. Ensure energy efficiency consistency across municipal facilitíes
. Monitor and report on energy consumption in quarterly intervals. Staff will monitor
and verify ROI to enable reinvestment in energy projects and report on energy
consumption four times per year.
. Better analyze energy costs and look for savings opportunities. This wiii include
looking at energy commodity procurement options and taking advantage of all
available resources and funding for energy projects,
o Raise staff and Council awareness around energy efficiency. This will include
communicating successes to both internal and external stakeholders.
. ldentify and seize renewable energy generation opportunities.
. lmbedding energy management in the Township's capital and operations
decision making process

Our Understanding (Current State)
Stakeholder Needs
The Township of Mulmur understands that its' stakeholders need:
a) An up-to-date and relevant energy management plan with clear visíon, goals and
targets in order to clearly communicate the corporate commitment to energy
efficiency and,
b) Timely, regular repods and information to maintain awareness of energy use.
c) Training and support to develop the skills and knowledge required to implement
energy management practices and measures.
d) The municipality to be accountable for energy performance and to minimize the
energy component of the costs of municipal services; and
e) The municipality to reduce the carbon footprint associated with its corporate energy
use.
Gurrent Municipa| Energy Situation
Energy Consumption and Demand
The current energy usage by building is detailed in Appendix A. Our energy usage is
updated monthly in the annual spreadsheet and reported annually to the Ministry of
Energy.
Energy lnitiatives
Renewable Energy
Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural sources such as sunlight, wind,
and geothermal heat. Utilizing renewable energy can generate a revenue source
through the Provincial Feed-in Tariff (FlT) Program or significantly reduce the energy
requirements of a building along with the associated greenhouse gases.
Page 138 of 222
o
a
o
ln 2009 the Township installed geothermal energy to heat and cool the
administrative building which has significantly helped to reduce its carbon
footprint and annual electricity costs.
The Township of Mulmur has applied to participate in a Solar Energy FIT contract
starting in 2015 which would produce green energy, bring in revenue to help us
pay for our other utility costs.
The roof and insulation over the arena's ice surface were replaced with a high
efficiency options to help keep the arena cool in the summer and warmer in the
winter months allowing the compressors to work more efficiently in order to
maintain the ice surface. The lights over the ice sudace were also replaced with
high efficiency lights to improve energy efficiency for the facility.
The weather stripping around the public works building eaves and doors were
replaced to help with efficiency
The water heater in the downstairs washroom of the administration building has
been turned off since it is not needed on a regular basis.

Attention: John Willmetts
John, As discussed I am requesting a portion of a new fence on my property to be erected to go beyond
the allowable size. I am seeking to get council approval at the June 2014 meeting coming to build a
fence at a height of 8 feet ínstead of 6 on my property at 38 Somerville Cres. in Mulmur (Mansfield).
and asked that this letter to you to present to council.
The area I would like to erect this fence is to be from the rear of the house to the property line then
toward to back of the property to our existing pool house.
I am respectfully asking for Councils approval for this as the location of the house is situated on thecorner of the street which allows for easy access and visibility into the pool and back yard area and I
would like to ensure that the fence is protecting my family from anyone walking or driving by.
The Section of fence would be approximately 60 feet in total. This would be only for the corner section
of the property and for the remainder I will keep within the already established limits.
I have included a picture with a drawing of my proposal. Thank you in advance for your assistance in
this request.
Respectfully submitted,
Shawn P. Latimer
