These properties are part of an established employment area that is located immediately to the north of the lands subject to this application. We understand that a Public Meeting of City Council is scheduled for Monday April 2nd to consider applications filed on behalf of 1251600 Ontario Limited for properties located along Portage Road and Stanley Avenue. Based on available information, it is clear that these applications would permit introduction of sensitive land uses in close proximity to existing industrial uses which raises concerns of potential land use conflicts with the established employment uses including Modern Corporation. The properties of Modern Corporation are part of the Fruitland Parkway industrial subdivision that includes a mix of industrial uses. The operations at the Modern facility include significant heavy truck movements associated with their waste management division. This truck traffic occurs throughout dClytlme hours and includes early mornings and evenings. The Ministry of the Environment "D" series Land U.se Planning (;uidelines provide guidance where new sensitive land Uses are, being planned in proximity to industrial land uses. Guideline D-6, Compatibility Between Industrial Facilities ClndSeositive I..and Uses, outlines recommendations for potential Influence areas, areas within which there is an acknowledged potential for adverse effects on sensitive uses created by industrial operations. Based on our familiarity with the existing uses within the Fruitland Parkway industrial area, it Is our opinion that these uses exhibit characteristics of Class Ii Industrial operations. The 244 James Street S. Hamilton. ON L8P 383 P. 90S 527 7526 F. 905527 7527 C, 90'5 719 9860 iwehb@webbplanning.ca JAMES WEBB PLANNING CONSULTANTS INC. Mr, Doug Darbyson April 2, 2007 Re: City File No. AM-24j2005 Page 2 MOE Guidelines identify a minimum influence <lrea of 300 metres whereaclverse effects are likely to occur. Where sensitive land uses are being proposed within this area, the MOE Guidelines require the identification of potenti.al adverse 'effects associated with the eXisting uses and a comprehensive assessment ofpotentialconfIicts. It is our opinion that the approval ofthesubject applications is inappropriate and could have a prejudiCial impact on th<l existing industrial op<lrations within the Fruitland industrial subdivision including the Modern Facility. The proposai to permit residential land uses within the established influence area may lead to land use conflicts and may further restrict the ability of the existing uses to continue and possibly expand their op<lrations within the context of the current m unicipalland use planning framework. It is our recommendation that the sUl:ijectClpplicatlons be modified toelimin<lteany new resldentiai uses within 300 metres of the southerly limit of the Fruitland Properties. Alternatively, the proponents must demonstrClte to the satisfaction of the abutting industrial owners that all aspects of the existing operations have be,en comprehensively analyzed and all appropriate mitigation measures are integrated with the planning approvals. In summary, it is our opinion that the consideration of the subject applications is premature pending modifications to the proposed development, or alternatively, the completion additional te,chnical studies to the satisfaction of the abutting irdus;trial property owners. We would request that City Council defer oonsideration of the app1icatlons until such time as the applicants have responded to these concerns. We would request that this written submission be added to the formal record forthe Public Meeting, and further, we be prOVided with written notifiCation ofthe outcome of the Public Meeting inciuding a copy of the meeting minutes.

I own the property across from Mr. Nitransky and since he's owned 14380 Montrose Rd. I have had no complaints. My barn is located northwest of Mr. Nitransky's dwelling. I currently am not farming chickens and have no plans to do so in the future. I do have a small herd of cows which always stay in the barn as I have no paddocks across from 14380 Montrose Rd. I use the land there for growing hay. Mr. Nitransky has given me his home and cell phone numbers and encouraged me to caJl if there are any problems. I have no objections to Mr. Nitransky's rezoning plans.

I own the property next to Mr. Nitransky and since he's owned 14380 Montrose Rd. I have had no complaints. In fact, I have found him to be a good neighbor and help him out by keeping an eye on the property. Ifthere are any problems I have Mr. Nitransky's home and cell phone numbers. He has done a lot of work to improve the property and I hope he is allowed to continue his plans. I have no objections to Mr. Nitransky's rezoning plans. In fact I encourage you to accept his proposal.

The Willoughby Marsh Conservation Area is part of the larger Willoughby Marsh Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI). Willoughby Marsh contributes significantly to local water quality and function because it is central to the headwaters of Tee Creek, Ussher's Creek, Lyons Creek and Black Creek. Enclosed is a map for your reference. Because of the uniqueness of this area, the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority, in partnership with the Ministry of Natural Resources and with financial support from the Government of Canada Habitat Stewardship Program for Species at Risk, has recently been conducting field searches in the Willoughby Marsh Conservation Area in an attempt to locate new populations of the very rare Spoon-leaved Moss (Bryoandersonia illecebra). The Spoon-leaved Moss is a provincially Endangered species, known from only three locations within the province of Ontario; in Essex and Elgin Counties and near Weiland in the Region of Niagara. These three sites are essential to the survival of this species in Canada and to maintaining diversity and overall environmental health. Please see the enclosed Spoon-leaved Moss Fact Sheet and Species at Risk postcard for more information. We ask for your assistance in protecting this species and its sensitive habitat by ensuring no vehicular use, tree cutting or draining on Conservation Area lands and by reporting any instances such activities which would negatively affect this area. If you suspect you have Spoon-leaved moss on your land, you may wish to consider limiting such activities in order to support suitable habitat for this very rare species. In addition, you may be eligible for up to 100% property tax relief under the Conservation Land Tax Incentive Program (CL TIP) on those portions of your property containing the provincially significant Willoughby Marsh wetland and Area of Natural and Scientific Interest. This program now includes all areas of Spoon-leaved Moss habitat as well. As a final note, the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority and its partners are conducting a Natural Areas Inventory (NAI) of the Region of Niagara and Haldimand County over the next 3 years. You will be receiving more information about the NAI @ Ontario [] NIAGARA PENINSULA CONSERVATION ~AUTHORITY Spoon-leaved Moss Status: Spoon-leaved moss (Bryoandersonia illecebra) is both nationally (COSEWIC) and provincially (OMNRI COSSARO) designated as Endangered, and exists at only three locations within the province of Ontario; in Essex, Elgin and Weiland Counties. The continued protection of these three sites is essential to the survival of this species in Canada and for overall diversity and environmental health. Features: The spoon-leaved moss (Bryoandersonia illecebra), so-named because its leaves are concave, is a bryophyte and lacks a vascular (water and mineral transport) system. This species reproduces by spores (not seeds) . Spores germinate in moist substrate and eventually produce the leafy stage that we are most familiar with, the gametophyte, which will produce sperm and eggs. Because there are separate male and female plants, moisture is essential to allow the sperm to swim to an egg-bearing plant. The fertilized egg grows into a sporophyte filled with tiny spores that disperse in the air. Range: The spoon-leaved moss occurs in eastern North America, ranging from Texas and Florida, north to New York and Ontario. I n Ontario, it is known currently from two sites in southwestern Ontario and a site near Weiland in the Niagara region. l_ 'l I Ontario Spoon-leaved Moss Distribution North American Spoon-leaved Moss Distribution tvlodified from: Doubt 2003 1'1odified from: Doubt 2003 I:roll) : IHln:llw\\"\\".HlIIUlll.cw'olltario/rlsk.nhD'!dol' !\'ne==lilct&id=JOO Threats: The spoon-leaved moss is at the northern edge of its range in Ontario, and therefore may never have been common or widespread here. Historically, it is known from at least eight sites in Ontario, and it has disappeared or significantly declined at five sites. It grows in humid deciduous forest and does not disperse easily (Doubt, 2003). This type of habitat has declined significantly in southern Ontario due to intensifying urbanization, industrial development and agriculture (Doubt, 2003). The remaining forests are often fragmented and small, resulting in less suitable habitat and increased disturbance. Protection: Spoon-leaved moss is currently protected through compatible land uses of healthy forests where current populations exist. Two of the three known populations in Ontario are on public land; one is managed by Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and the other by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority. The third site is located on private land but is in the Cedar Creek ANSI (Area of Natural and Scientific Interest), where it can receive some protection through stewardship initiatives. In total, the known populations cover less than 14m'. Current research initiatives to characterize the existing patches of spoon-leaved moss and the surrounding habitat, as well as surveys to find additional populations, are underway. It is anticipated that this information will help to ensure the continued protection of this species and will further its recovery in Southern Ontario. Photo: Ron Gould, fvli!~i'Ojtry (>f ~!2tur::;!
