eight (48) hours after receiving a written request from the Municipality to do so,
the Municipality may, without further notice, undertake such removal and
disposition and the cost thereof shall be paid by the Developer or each
subsequent Owner of the Lots or Blocks within the Plan forthwith upon demand,
which costs shall include all expenses incurred by the Municipality in carrying out
such removal and disposition. The burning of construction refuse, debris of
weeds, whether it be from site servicing or house building or any other source
related to the development of the site on any lands within the Plan is prohibited.

regulations thereunder with respect to certificates for occupancy.
8.12 Special Building Permits / Model Homes
Pursuant to Section 8.9 building permits are not obtainable until certain services are

in Section 8.10 for any building permit that is issued pursuant to the Developer's
delivery of a No -Occupancy Agreement, the Developer hereby acknowledges that
the deposit shall be immediately forfeited to the Municipality. Such failure to meet
the Section 8.10 obligations shall constitute a breach of this Agreement and the

to the Municipality to enter into this Agreement and to enforce each and every

pleaded as an estoppel against the Developer in any such proceedings.
The Developer acknowledges that the Municipality is entering into this
Agreement and approving the Plan on the express representation of the
Developer that it and its successors and assigns shall observe and perform all
the provisions of this Agreement and that the Municipality is of the opinion that
the Plan would not be in the public interest if the Developer, its successors and
assigns, the owner or owners from time to time of the land within the Plan were
21
not obligated to observe and perform all the provisions hereof except to the
extent the Municipality may lawfully change them.
8.14 Successors and Assigns
The covenants, agreement, conditions, and undertakings herein contained on the
part of the Developer shall run with the land and shall be binding upon it and
upon its successors and assigns as owners and occupiers of the said lands from
time to time.

The Developer shall in every Agreement of Purchase and Sale or Offer to Purchase
pertaining to any Lot or Block within the Plan notify each purchaser of all of the
payments to be made by the purchaser to the Municipality pursuant to this
Agreement and all of the provisions of this Agreement which shall continue in force
after the completion of the sale. Further, the Developer shall furnish a list of those
services included in the purchase, specifying those installed and those to be
installed at no additional cost.
8.16 Scheduling, Progress and Completion
The Developer shall commence construction of services within twenty-four (24)
months of the signing of this Agreement or the registration of the Plan whichever

Municipal Engineer. Failure to adhere to the above schedule may result in the
Municipality completing the Works in accordance with Section 3.7 of this
Agreement. If the development is phased, the date for commencement of
construction on the balance of the phases may be delayed for up to five years.
Failure to commence construction within the time schedule above may result in
the Municipality declaring this Agreement to be null and void, and the Municipality
may deem the property not to be a Plan of Subdivision.
8.17 No Municipal Liability
This Agreement and the provisions herein do not give the Developer or any
person acquiring any interest in the land within the Plan (each hereinafter in this
clause called "such person"), any rights against the Municipality or the
Municipality's Engineer with respect to the failure of any such person to perform
any obligations under this Agreement or the failure of the Municipality to force
such person to perform any obligations under this Agreement or any negligence
of any such person in the performance of the said obligations.
The only duty and responsibility of the Municipality's Engineer arising out of this
Agreement is to the Municipality and this Agreement. Any work or services done
or performed by the Municipality's Engineer under this Agreement do not in any
way create any liability on the part of the Municipality's Engineer to the Developer
or any person acquiring any interest in the land within the Plan.
8.18 Assignment
The Developer shall not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent
of the Municipality, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.

relating to the construction of the Works, the Municipality's Engineer shall decide
which provisions shall prevail.
8.20 Severability

by a Court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or ultra vires,

from all other terms, covenants and provisions of this Agreement and the
remainder of this Agreement shall be and remain in full force and effect.

that the Municipality may, with the consent of the then registered owner of any
land within the Plan, amend this Agreement insofar as it specifically affects such

current or subsequent phases of the project and to require an adjustment in the
securities, such adjustment to be based upon any anticipated changes to site
conditions or construction costs.
24
9.3 Reduction of Securities
An application for the reduction of the security on deposit with the Municipality
pursuant to Section 9.2 herein may be made no earlier than thirty (30) days after

"J" attached hereto.
(b) The application shall include written confirmation from the Developer's
Engineer:
• describing the Works constructed as at the date of the application and
a calculation of the cost thereof.
• confirming that the Works have been installed by the Developer with
full time supervision of the Developer's Engineer and in accordance
with the requirements of this Agreement and schedules hereto.
• describing the Works remaining to be completed as at the date of the

(c) The value of the reduction shall be determined by the Municipality's
Engineer who shall give a certificate to the Municipal Clerk and the

amount of the security remaining on deposit with the Municipality.
(d) The value of the reduction shall be based upon the one hundred percent
(100%) of the value of the Works remaining to be completed by the
Developer plus ten percent (10%) of the value of the Works completed to

Works for those Stages of construction that have not received Final
Acceptance to the date of the application
(e) As a minimum security, subject to any outstanding deficiencies or

Certificate of Preliminary Acceptance for the services, he shall supply the
Municipality with a Statutory Declaration that all accounts for work and materials

materials supplied for or on behalf of the Developer in connection with the
Subdivision.
9.5 The Construction Act, R.S.O. 1990 c. C.30
The Developer agrees that it will hold back in its payments to any Contractor who
may construct the services, such sums as are provided in accordance with the

harmless the Municipality against any claims, actions or demands for
construction liens or otherwise in connection with the Works and all costs in
connection therewith, and on the demands of the Municipality's Solicitor will
forthwith take such steps to immediately discharge all liens upon the services.
25
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
Developer hereby agrees that the filing of any liens pursuant to the said
Construction Act, with respect to the land described in Schedule "A" attached
hereto, shall constitute a default by the Developer of the terms of this Agreement
and shall entitle the Municipality to draw on any or all of the security referred to in
Section 9.2 of this Agreement and to utilize said draw to make payment into
Court of the holdback together with costs.
9.6 Partial Release

of obligations on the owners of a lot, at Council's sole discretion. Said partial
release shall be in the form attached hereto as Schedule 'W'.

final release of the obligations of the Developer, with the exception of lot grading
requirements included in Section 6 of this Agreement, as established hereunder

MUNICIPALITY OF KINCARDINE
MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT AND SERVICING GUIDELINES
1.0 GENERAL
1.1 Definitions
In these guidelines the following definitions shall apply:
"Municipality" shall mean Municipality of Kincardine.
"Developer" shall mean the Owner or party specifically named in a Development
Agreement or in a Subdivision Agreement.
"Developer's Engineer" shall mean professional engineer(s) licensed to practice in
Ontario and shall be responsible for the preparation of drawings, specifications, reports
and to act on behalf of the Developer in all technical aspects of the Development.
"Planner" shall mean the County and/or the Municipality's Planner or their designate.
"Contractor" shall mean the firm of Contractors, the company of individuals acting as the
Contractor and having entered into a contract with the Developer to construct the
Development.
"Municipal Engineer" shall mean the municipal Director of Public Works and/or the
engineer or engineering form appointed as Municipal Engineer by the municipality.
1.2 Introduction
The design of all municipal services in the municipality is to be based upon the
specifications and guidelines in effect at the time of acceptance. All plans are to be
accepted before they are to be used for the construction of services. Such acceptance
shall in no way relieve the Developer's Engineer from providing an adequate and safe
design.
1.3 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to aid in the standardization for the design of municipal
servicing infrastructure for development in the Municipality of Kincardine. While these
guidelines are primarily aimed at the expansion of residential development within the
municipality, developers, builders, and the general public can use this document as a
guide for developments created by consent, for individual site developments, or
commercial and industrial areas.
The following two sections have been provided as a general overview of the procedures
and steps involved in the completion of the planning and engineering processes related
to development in the Municipality of Kincardine. These procedures are not written as a
Municipality of Kincardine Page 2
Municipal Development and Servicing Guidelines
detailed, step by step list, but rather as a general approach to the subdivision
application, or site development process.
1.4 Planning Process
The Municipality should be contacted to arrange for a Pre -consultation meeting prior to
initiating the planning process for any development. The Pre -consultation will assist to
identify key planning issues as well as any major technical items including studies (i.e.,
traffic, noise, servicing, etc.) that may be required as part of the formal submission. The
applicant may wish to have their consultant (planners, engineers, etc.) present at this
initial meeting. It is anticipated that the following items would be discussed or reviewed:
County will confirm the Official Plan designation and Zoning, identifying any
Official Plan and Zoning amendments which may be required in addition to draft
plan approval.
• The necessary application requirements including fees, supporting documents
(contour plan, general plan of services, drainage plan, preliminary stormwater
management plan, etc.), draft plan drawing requirements, and possible
agreements that may be required.
• Timelines and potential scheduling for public meetings and Council meetings.
In the Municipality of Kincardine, land development (i.e., Subdivision and
Condominiums) applications are to be submitted to the County of Bruce. Application
packages and associated guides are available through the County which will provide an
overview of the steps to make an application and obtain a decision on a specific
proposal. Site Plan applications are to be submitted to the municipality.
Following submission of a complete application, it will be processed by Bruce County
staff, who will circulate it to the municipality, community organizations, and required
public bodies for comments, as well as to all property owners in the vicinity of the
subject site. A Public Meeting must be held, usually in the community, to allow the
public an opportunity to provide comments on the proposed plan of subdivision. The
County will work with the applicant to address any agency and/or public concerns. A
comprehensive report will be prepared by the County, along with draft plan conditions
(based on input from agencies and the public) and presented to Council for review and
decision. If Council accepts the application and the required appeal period lapses, the
draft plan is approved.
As noted, there will be a number of conditions that must be satisfied before final
approval of the development can be given. Among the conditions for subdivisions, site
plans, and condominiums, there is usually a requirement that the owner enter into a
development agreement with the Municipality regarding matters such as the
construction of roads and servicing which will require the completion of engineered
drawings to the standards contained herein.
Municipality of Kincardine
Municipal Development and Servicing Guidelines
1.5 Engineering Process
Page 3
Following acceptance and approval of the draft plan, the developer shall proceed to the
engineering phase of the development process which will include a number of
submissions including preliminary and follow-up submissions as required. Prior to the
commencement of the Engineering Design, the Developer's Engineer shall obtain
copies of the Municipality's Development and Servicing Guidelines to familiarize
themselves with the requirements of the development design in the Municipality.
The initial submission of engineering drawings shall be delivered to the Municipality and
should include copies of the preliminary drawings and servicing (functional design)
report(s). The initial submission of engineering drawings shall also contain a
declaration from the Developer's Engineer showing that he/she has been retained to
design and supervise the construction of the development according to the terms of the
Development Agreement. The purpose of the initial submission is to review the general
design concept prior to the Developer proceeding to detailed engineering. In some
cases, this information may have been provided in conjunction with the Draft Plan
process. The preliminary drawing and report should consider items such as existing
conditions, road alignments, cross section details, railway crossings, parkland
dedication, trunk sewers, storm water management and drainage, water distribution, lot
grading, sewage conveyance, etc. This document becomes particularly important when
servicing is to be phased in conjunction with the development plan. When a
development is being phased the servicing report is to include details of how the
phasing will occur and how infrastructure may be impacted by such phasing. The
servicing report shall confirm that the servicing design does not limit future
developments areas. Comments may be provided related to any issues that are evident
and the Developer will be asked to update the Engineering Drawings accordingly.
The Developer may be required to submit hydrogeological, hydrology, traffic, acoustical,
geotechnical, archaeological, biological or other studies. Appropriate engineering or
other consultants shall be retained to complete these reports as part of the applications
and submissions required. The Developer's Planner and/or Engineer shall consider
future adjacent land uses, and all design and layout of services shall incorporate
considerations with respect to future servicing, grading and drainage issues on the
adjacent lands. Upon completion of designs and submissions, sufficient copies of
preliminary design briefs, agency approval submissions and all final drawings and
reports shall be submitted to the Municipality for review by the Municipality and their
Engineer.
Submissions are to be made until the Engineering Drawings, design and reports, are
acceptable to the Municipality of Kincardine and the Municipal Engineer.
Additional details related to drawing requirements and approvals are provided in later
sections of this document.

• Stake tree for two years using rubber garden hose to protect tree from being cut
by support wires.
• To protect the trunk from line trimmers where mulch is not used - use a 20 cm
(8") section of solid drainage tile.
• Water newly -planted trees regularly during the first year.
• Remove stakes from trees after 2 years or if tree is in a windy location postpone
stake removal for 2 more years adjusting the wire and hose accordingly.
• Top up mulch ring as required on yearly basis.
• Use care when grass cutting or when using a line trimmer at the base of the tree
ensuring the trunk is not struck.
All trees that die or fail to grow (as per the discretion of the Municipality) prior to "Final
Acceptance" shall be replaced by the Developer.
9.3 Walkways & Beach Access
Walkways shown on the Plan of Subdivision shall be constructed between parkland and
adjacent streets or from street to street. They shall consist of a concrete sidewalk of
minimum width of 1.5 m. The walkway boulevard shall be landscaped, topsoiled and
seeded. A standard black 1.5 m high chain link fence shall be placed along both sides

Municipality of Kincardine
Municipal Development and Servicing Guidelines
10.0 TRAFFIC AND STREET SIGNS
Page 34
The Developer shall be responsible for erecting all traffic street name signs within the
development. These signs may be provided by the Municipality at the Developer's
expense. The Developer shall further be responsible for providing lot identification
signs on each lot outlining the appropriate municipal address (911 address) for said lot.
11.0 ASSET MANAGEMENT
Prior to Final Acceptance of the services as defined in the Subdivision or Development
agreement, the developer shall engage their Engineer to provide to the Municipality a
detailed list of the cost of all of the assets for the purpose of the Municipality's asset
management system.
12.0 PAYMENT TO DEVELOPERS
The Municipality shall not be liable for any costs arising out of the construction of
services except the oversizing of the works are required for future development.
The Municipality will pay the marginal cost of any requested oversizing of sanitary
collection, water distribution, stormwater collection works and appurtenances beyond an
increase in one nominal pipe size above that which might be needed for the
development.
For example, where a sanitary sewer (or a watermain) designed solely for the
development might require the developer to install a 250 mm dia. pipe, a request for
oversizing beyond one pipe size or 300 mm would result in the Municipality paying the
marginal cost.
Where a storm sewer is requested that is larger than that required for the development
and any offsite flows (based on their current developed state), the Municipality will pay
the marginal difference in cost for supplying the larger size pipe and appurtenances
beyond one incremental pipe size of that needed.
13.0 REVISIONS TO SERVICING GUIDELINES
The Municipality reserves the right to amend these guidelines at any time and/or to
further clarify the requirements found herein.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES
FOR SITE PLANS
OR SMALL DEVELOPMENTS
Municipality of Kincardine
Municipal Development and Servicing Guidelines C-1
Stormwater Management Guidelines
SECTION A — STORM DRAINAGE AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
1.0 DRAINAGE POLICIES
1.1 Application
These drainage policies will apply to all development or redevelopment requiring site
plans or other planning approvals. Where the local Conservation Authority determines
the development is in their regulated area or they have an interest in the development,
their guidelines and policies shall apply.
1.2 Drainage Objectives
The Municipality of Kincardine has set the following objectives for the management of
storm drainage within its boundaries:
• Reduce to acceptable levels, the potential risk of health hazards, loss of life and
property damage from flooding.
• Reduce to acceptable levels, the incidence of inconvenience caused by surface
ponding and flooding.
• Ensure that any development or redevelopment minimizes the impact of change to
the groundwater regime; increased pollution; increased erosion or increased
sediment transport, especially during construction; and impact to surrounding lands
and areas of existing development.
• Maintain, where applicable, any natural stream channel geometry insofar as it is
feasible while achieving the above objectives.
2.0 ATTAINMENT OF DRAINAGE OBJECTIVES
2.1 Major and Minor Systems
In general, the Municipality of Kincardine supports the concept of drainage having two
separate and distinct components — the minor drainage system and the major drainage
system. The minor system comprises swales, street gutters, ditches, catch basins and
storm sewers. The major system comprises the natural streams and valleys and man-
made channels, roads, or other overland conveyance systems.
2.2 Run-off Quality Control
The Municipality requires developers, contractors and builders to plan and execute their
operations so as to minimize sediment and debris pickup and transport to water bodies.
The degree of control and methods used must meet the regulations and guidelines of
the MECP, MNRF, MTO, and local conservation authorities. The Municipality will
expect all erosion control works to be properly maintained throughout the duration of the
project.
Municipality of Kincardine
Municipal Development and Servicing Guidelines C-2
Stormwater Management Guidelines
2.3 Run-off Quantity Control
Quantity control shall be restricted to post -development flows between the 2 and 100
year/ Regional storm events.
2.4 Master Drainage Plans
The Municipality requires a Master Drainage Plan for all proposed urban developments.
The primary purpose of the Master Drainage Plan is to define the effects of urban
development and to determine the solution that is compatible with the objectives for the
watershed.
2.5 Conservation Authority Criteria
In the design of new drainage systems within areas regulated by the local Conservation
Authority, the Developer's Engineer will be required to follow the most recent edition of
the Authority's Stormwater Management Policies and Technical Guidelines.
3.0 MAJOR SYSTEM
3.1 Hazard Lands and Floodlines
The Municipality of Kincardine requires that Hazard Lands be clearly defined on all
watersheds and that no development other than necessary access or services be
located herein. The Municipality also requires that the floodplains that would result from
the 1:100 and Regional storms be defined for predevelopment and post development
conditions. Consultation with the local Conservation Authority will be necessary when
dealing with Hazard Lands.
3.2 Detention Ponds
Detention Ponds shall be design so as to minimize any adverse effects to the
environment as well as ensuring the safety of local residents. Unless noted otherwise,
detention ponds are to be designed in accordance with the Ministry of the Environment,
Conservation and Parks Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual (March
2003), or the latest edition.
4.0 MINOR SYSTEM
4.1 Watershed Area
The watershed area shall be determined from the contour plans and shall include all
areas that naturally drain into the system. Fringe areas not accommodated in adjacent
drainage systems, and any areas which may become tributary by reason of regrading.
Municipality of Kincardine
Municipal Development and Servicing Guidelines C-3
Stormwater Management Guidelines
4.2 Storm Drainage Plans
External Areas
A plan shall be prepared to a scale dependent on the size of the watershed area, to
show the nature of the drainage of the lands surrounding the development site. The
area to be developed and all existing contours used to justify the design shall be clearly
shown. This plan shall be prepared and submitted to the Municipality's Engineer at the
functional report stage.
Internal Drainage Plan
All internal drainage plans shall be prepared and shall include all streets, blocks, lots
and easements. The proposed storm sewer system shall be shown on this plan with all
maintenance holes and the area contributing to each structure shall be clearly outlined
on the plan. The area in hectares and the run-off coefficient shall be shown within the
contributing area.
In determining the contributing area to each storm sewer structure, the proposed lot
grading must be considered to maintain consistency in the design.
The length, size, and grade of each section of the minor system shall also be shown on
the storm drainage plan. Arrows should depict the overland flow route and the extent of
flooding from the major storm.
Rain water leaders shall not be connected directly to the storm sewer system. Leaders
on all single family and semi-detached residential units shall be constructed in a manner
so as to not interfere with adjacent properties. Sump pump discharge should discharge
to the side yard swale.
5.0 HYDRAULIC DESIGN
5.1 Design Levels
The system of street gutters, catch basins, storm sewers or open ditches, where
permitted, shall be designed for the 1:5 year storm. Culverts or sewers crossing major
County roads or Provincial highways shall be designed and approved in accordance
with the requirements of the Bruce County Highways Department or the Ministry of
Transportation, respectively.
5.2 Rational Method
In general, the Rational Method shall be used for the sizing of the minor sewer system
at the final design stage. Calculations based on a hydrologic simulation model are
required for systems serving large areas or involving treatment and/or storage systems.
Municipality of Kincardine
Municipal Development and Servicing Guidelines
Stormwater Management Guidelines
5.3 Stormwater Management Report
