DATED AT THE TOWNSHIP OF EAST WAWANOSH THIS 21 ST DAY OF MAY, 1997. Winona Thompson, Clerk-Treasurer Township of East Wawanosh Belgrave, Ont. NOG 1E0 (519) 357-2880 PURPOSE AND EFFECT: This by-law proposes to amend zoning by-law 10-1987 for the following reasons: A. to Incorporate the new minimum distance separation formula (MDSI & II) recommended by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. This amendment revises the current minimum distance separation requirements for the establishment of new farm buildings and for the establishment of non-farm related buildings and structures within the agricultural areas of the township of East Wawanosh. Also Included are definitions for several terms used by the new formula. This by-law also incorporates setback requirements for liquid manure tanks from wells and watercourses and a minimum separation distance for the establishment of manure storage facilities. These requirements have historically been part of a by-law to regulate the location of manure pits. B. Also under consideration at this public meeting are revisions to the current by-law to regulate the location of manure pits. It is proposed that a Nutrient Management Plan shall be completed prior to the issuance of a building permit for a new livestock liquid manure system to serve an intensive livestock operation; or for an expanded livestock liquid manure system for an Intensive livestock operation where the Intensive livestock operation Is being expanded by 20% or more. An Intensive livestock operation has been defined as including 150 livestock units or 50 or more livestock units on a land base which exceeds 5 livestock units per tillable hectare. The Nutrient Management Plan shall be prepared by a consultant In agriculture and shall satisfy terms of reference which are provided as appendix A to the manure by-law. The Nutrient Management Plan includes an on­ site review of the manure system, the available crop land and requires the design of a manure management strategy that includes safe application rates, recognizes crop nutrient needs, and recommends appropriate reductions in commercial fertilizer applications. Also included is an emergency action plan in the event of a spill or system failure. A sample nutrient management plan has been prepared by Ecologlstics Ltd., Waterloo, Ontario and is available for Inspection at the township office. C. In addition, one further amendment is proposed to the Township Zoning By-law. Provisions are proposed to regulate the types of building materials to be used on the exterior face of any building or structure on lands designated for "Urban" purposes. Further, the maximum height of an accessory building on lands zoned VR1 (Village Residential Low Density) shall be 4.5 metres. The by-law presently includes a maximum height of 6 metres. In addition, in the VR1 zone the total floor area of an accessory building shall not exceed 75 square metres. The zoning amendments are proposed as amendments to by-law 10-1987. The changes to the liquid manure by-law are proposed in accordance with the Municipal Act.AREA AFFECTED INCLUDES ALL AGRICULTURAL AND URBAN LANDS
