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
