Frontenac County unveils first draft of Official Plan By Craig Bakay Reporter
EMC News – County council got a look at the first draft of its new Official Plan at its regular meeting last week in Glenburnie, and the plan’s author/architect, manager of sustainability planning Joe Gallivan, says it’s unique in the history of planning in Ontario. Responding to Coun. Gary Davison’s concerns that the sections on roads weren’t exactly what council had discussed and that he didn’t want this particular draft “going to the province,� Gallivan said that while he would be sending the draft to the Ministry of
Municipal Affairs and Housing, it would only be for input, not for approval. “This is not like most official plans,� Gallivan said. “For one thing, it has a lot less detail than most. “Dealing with a county as a region has never been done before (and) the ministry may want more detail but we want them to know that we don’t intend to go in that direction.� This plan would seem to pay more attention to conservation authority boundaries than township boundaries for one thing. In fact, the included Schedule “A� — Land Use map is based on the four conservation authorities in
Frontenac County (Mississippi, Quinte, Rideau Valley and Cataraqui) and also acknowledges the Lower Madawaska Watershed and St. Lawrence River areas. The Schedule “B� map is of the “Natural Heritage System.� In fact, the largest single section of the 68-page document is devoted to “Environmental Sustainability� and other sections devote space to the Rideau Canal UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Frontenac Arch UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Trail Development and Scenic Routes. Gallivan said the Official Plan is based on six “sustainability� themes — economic, growth management, community build-
ing, housing and social services, heritage and culture and environmental. But it was the section on transportation, particularly a Regional Road Network, that drew the attention of council. “Unless I was in the wrong room, I remember discussions on roads being under the direction of the township public works managers,� said Davison. “You staff are always looking for direction and here we go — we get duplication.� “Yes, we don’t want duplication but we must work together,� said Warden Janet Gutowski. “We agreed to work together but not be coordinated by
the county,� said Coun. Denis Doyle. However, Gallivan agreed that the draft was “not etched in stone.� According to provincial mandate, the Official Plan must be in place by March of 2015. However, Gallivan wants to have it approved early in 2014. He’s planning several public feedback sessions later this year, with a second draft incorporating that feedback ready sometime this fall. In the meantime, the document is available on the Frontenac County website (www.frontenaccounty.ca) and the public is invited to view its contents and comment.
