JANUARY 2012 UPDATE
Hello to everyone. We hope you are enjoying the mild winter this year. We have had some snow but then it turns mild again and we lose it.
The lake is frozen at the shore for about 150 feet. We have ice around making walking especially, on the beach a bit of a challenge. We hope
you find our updates from WBPOA helpful to keep you in the loop.
>Plan 656 Beach Ownership
As reported to you last summer, the township was challenging the legality of Mr Battaglia's title to the south half of the beach area fronting Plan 656.
Court action took place in July, 2011; however the decision was not released until Dec. 23rd. In the decision the Township's application for ownership
was dismissed. The township is now appealing this decision. No hearing date has been scheduled for the appeal.
To read the Superior Court of Justice Decision in full, please go to the Township Website (link below)
>McMahon Woods Subdivision
The Directors of WBPOA are concerned about a 51 lot subdivision proposed by McMahon Woods Development to be located on the NE corner of
Concession 4 and County Rd 29. Most of the property lies within an area designated as environmentally sensitive by the Ontario Ministry of
Natural Resources - an Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI). This is a heavily wooded area running along the Nipissing Ridge. Unfortunately,
in the past, a By-law was passed rezoning this area as "Shoreline Residential- Future Development", allowing this proposed plan of subdivision.
Both Simcoe County and Tiny's present Council are attempting to restrict this development to 20 or less lots as allowed in an ANSI designation. The
matter was heard at an Ontario Municipal Board Pre-hearing on Dec. 13th. No resolution was achieved so the argument will move to a full Hearing
at a date to be announced.
>New Garbage Tags
The price of garbage tags for waste over the one bag limit will increase from the current $2.00 per tag to $3.00 per tag effective Jan 1st, 2012.
The current yellow county garbage tags will be permitted to be used until April 1st, 2012. Your new 2012 Simcoe County Calendar should have
arrived at you home. Spring should see some new additions to our recycling program.
>New OPP False Alarm Policy
Due to the number of false alarms attended to by Southern Georgian Bay OPP, Township of Tiny has enacted a by-law establishing a False Alarm
Policy effective January 1st, 2012. This policy was established to encourage residents and businesses to make certain their security systems are maintained
and operating properly. Reducing the number of false alarms will result in better use of our policing resources. Responding to alarms calls uses time that
would be better spent in other areas.
Starting January 1st, 2012
First False Alarm - No Charge
Second - No Charge - A warning notice sent
Third and all subsequent False Alarms - $200.00 for each false alarm occurrence within an alarm response year (Jan 1st - Dec 31st)

re: Tracie & John
We have found dead birds (mostly loons) on Woodland Beach. We called Tiny Township to collect birds on Township property and John I buried 2 on our stretch of beach. I would estimate 8 birds. I have a call in to the Provincial Park to see if they have any results.
