HEFFERON ON AUGUST 6, 2015 AND ORDER OF THE BOARD BACKGROUND [1] This was the second prehearing conference ( PHC ) into this matter. [2] Shire Corporation ( Shire ) has appealed the failure or neglect of Council of the Town of Lincoln to make a decision within the statutory time limits on its applications for amendments to both the Town of Lincoln Official Plan and the Town of Lincoln comprehensive Zoning By-law 93.14.Z1 ( By-law ) to permit the use of a portion of the 14.3 hectare property, more particularly three existing clay-lined storage lagoons

3 PL141047 previously used to store and treat sewage and process water from the former Grand River Poultry processing plant at 3249 Frost Road ( subject lands ), to store and treat non-agriculture source materials ( NASM ). [3] Subsequently on November 17, 2014, Council passed a resolution refusing the applications. MATTER BEFORE THE BOARD [4] Shire has appealed the non-decision of the Council of the Town of Lincoln for an amendment to the Official Plan from Good General Agriculture and Natural Environment to a designation to be determined in order to add an NASM facility to the list of permitted uses on lands within an Agriculture designation. [5] Shire has also appealed the non-decision of Council to amend the By-law from the current Agriculture ( A ) and Environment Conservation ( EC ) zones to a site- specific zone to be determined. DISPOSITION [6] The Board granted the requests of John Venn and the Wine Council of Ontario and Lincoln Wineries, which had previously been granted party status, to withdraw their requests for party status. The Board then recognized them as participants. [7] Richard Johnson, whose name was inadvertently omitted in the list of participants issued with a previous decision, was confirmed as a participant. [8] Shire Corporation has separately appealed the approval with modifications of the new Official Plan for the Town of Lincoln ( OPA 2014-47 ). The appeal of OPA 2014-47 has been assigned Board File No. PL150475 but no Prehearing has been set to date. The Province of Ontario has also appealed OPA 2014-47. Shire, the Town of Lincoln and the Regional Municipality of Niagara, all parties in both matters, have agreed to

4 PL141047 request at the first OPA 2014-47 Prehearing Conference that the site-specific Shire appeal be carved out. The intention will be that the outcome in this appeal (PL141047) can be determinative of and implemented in the broader Official Plan through the OPA 2014-47 appeal (PL150475). This request will be put before the Board Member presiding at the first PL150475 proceeding for determination. [9] Stephen Chisholm, counsel for the Regional Municipality of Niagara is directed to inform the Parties in a timely manner of the issues (if any) the Region requests be added to the final Issues List. [10] Sharon MacDonald is directed to inform the other parties of the matters on her Issues List on which she does not intend to call evidence. Ms. MacDonald indicated that she will withdraw those matters as issues. The parties agreed that the matters raised and the concerns expressed in the form of issues that were subsequently withdrawn can remain as concerns that Ms. MacDonald may, if she chooses, question during the hearing. [11] Ms. Mattera, counsel for the Town of Lincoln submitted a revised Procedural Order with a clean copy of the revised Issues List as determined in this second PHC. A copy of the revised Procedural Order is attached to this decision as Attachment 1. [12] A 20-day hearing into this matter will commence at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, February 2, 2016 (NOTE: this date has been changed) at: [13] No further notice is required.

This Member is [not] seized. So orders the Board.

Purpose of the Procedural Order and Meaning of Terms Prehearing conferences usually take place only where the hearing is expected to be long and complicated. If you are not familiar with the hearing process you should prepare by obtaining the Guide to the Ontario Municipal Board, and the Board s Rules, from the Board Information Office, 15th Floor, 655 Bay Street, Toronto, M5G 1E5, 416-212-6349, or from the Board website at www. omb. gov, on.ca. The parties should discuss the draft Procedural Order before the prehearing conference and identify the issues and the process they propose the Board order following the prehearing. The Board will hear submissions about the content of the Procedural Order at the prehearing. Meaning of terms used in the Procedural Order: Party is an individual or corporation permitted by the Board to participate fully in the hearing by receiving copies of written evidence, presenting witnesses, cross-examining the witnesses of the other parties, and making submissions on all of the evidence. If an unincorporated group wishes to become a party, it must appoint one person to speak for it, and that person will become the party and assume the responsibilities of a party as set out in the Procedural Order. Parties do not have to be represented by a lawyer, and may have an agent speak for them. The agent must have written authorisation from the party. Participant is an individual, group or corporation, whether represented by a lawyer or not, who may attend only part of the proceeding but who makes a statement to the Board on all or some of the issues in the hearing. At the hearing, a participant may be asked questions by the parties about their statements. Participants do not normally receive notice of a mediation or conference calls on procedural issues and cannot ask for costs, or review of a decision as parties can. Written and Visual Evidence: Written evidence includes all written material, reports, studies, documents, letters and witness statements which a party or participant intends to present as evidence at the hearing. These must have pages numbered consecutively throughout the entire document, even if there are tabs or dividers in the material. Visual evidence includes photographs, maps, videos, models, and overlays which a party or participant intends to present as evidence at the hearing. If a model forms part of the evidence, photographs of the model shall also be filed. Witness Statements: A witness statement or a participant statement is a short written outline of the person s or group s background, experience and interest in the matter; a list of the issues which he or she will discuss and the witness or participant s position on those issues; and a list of reports that the witness or participant will rely on at the hearing. An expert witness statement should include his or her (1) name and address, (2) qualifications, acknowledgement of the expert s duty, and specific area(s) of expertise, (3) a list of the issues to be addressed, (4) the witness opinions on those issues and the complete reasons for the opinions and (5) a list of reports that the witness will rely on at the hearing. The Procedural Order will set out when and how witness statements are to be exchanged.

Additional Information Summons: A party may ask the Board to issue a summons. This request must be made before the time that the list of witnesses is provided to the Board and the parties. (See Rules 45 and 46 on the summons procedure.) An affidavit may be requested indicating how the witness evidence is relevant to the hearing. If the Board is not satisfied from the affidavit, it will require that a motion be heard to decide whether the witness should be summoned. The order of examination of witnesses: is usually direct examination, crossexamination and re-examination in the following way: direct examination by the party presenting the witness; direct examination by any party of similar interest, in the manner determined by the Board; cross-examination by parties of opposite interest; re-examination by the party presenting the witness; or another order of examination mutually agreed among the parties or directed by the Board. Role of Participants: Participants are identified at the start of a prehearing or at the start of a hearing. Participant statements should be filed with the Board and the parties in accordance with the direction set out in the Board s Procedural Order. If a participant does not attend the hearing and only files a written statement, the Board may not give it the same attention or weight as submissions made orally. The reason is that parties cannot ask further questions of a person if they merely file the material and do not attend.
