Beyond the Niagara Escarpment Plan Area, the Township shall take the lead in
determining the appropriateness of developments and site alterations, from a visualimpact perspective. The Township shall consult with the Niagara EscarpmentCommission where the impacts of developments and site alterations may be realizedfrom vantage points within the Nialara Escarpment Plan Area, particularly fromridgelines and established scenic overlooks, and from the Bruce Trail. Similarly, whereviews to the escarpment from beyond may be affected, the Township shall ensure thatthe visual amenities of the Niagara Escarpment Plan Area that are visible from adjacentareas are preserved.
Developments that are unusually tall, colourful, reflective, expansive or involvemovement, and/or the extensive alteration to natural vegetation or the natural contoursof the land are generally regarded as having the highest potential impact. lmpacts ofsuch developments and site alterations are also the most difficult to mitigate.
A visual impact assessment shall be required for all such major new developmentswithin the areas identified on Schedule 84, where there is potential for significantimpacts on the visual attractiveness of those areas. The Township shall weigh theseimpacts against other implications of such proposals, including social, economic andcommunity benefits, the visual context within which the development is proposed to belocated and the policies of this Plan generally, in order to make a determination as to thedesirability, and ultimately the appropriateness of any such development.
Developments and site alterations that have a substantial detrimental impact on thescenic resources or visual attractiveness of those areas, that, in the opinion of theTownship, outweigh the benefits of the proposal, shall not generally be supported orapproved.
5.26 RURAL CHARACTER
Rural character is defined as that which differentiates the rural area from an urban orsemi-urban setting, or other built-up area. lt is the mix of agricultural uses, vacant openspaces, woodlots and low density, randomly located dwellings in a predominantly ruraland natural setting. lt is distinguished by open countryside, fields, fencerows andforested areas.
Rural residential development is part of what makes up the rural character. However, thebuilt form need not and generally should not predominate over the natural environment.Rather than the ordered, repetitive built pattern found in urban areas, the developmentpattern should be discontinuous with relatively large lots and frontages, together withsetbacks that vary greatly. The impression is one of an open, natural andrural/agricultural landscape rather than one dominated by man-made structures andlandscaped yards.
Residential development forms that have the greatest impact on rural character areclusters or rows of residences at a density and/or under development standards thatallow the built environment to dominate. Smaller lot sizes, frontages and setbacks arenot characteristic of the rural area. Controls to ensure that development is in accordancewith these policies shall be implemented through environmental reviews, zoningprovisions and development agreements, where necessary.

Agricultural developments and uses are part of what is also expected in primeagricultural areas, and in rural areas where agricultural uses exist, and they do notdetract from the character of such areas.
Developments such as ski hills and golf courses are a normal expectation in rural areas,but many other forms of development have the appearance of being out-of-place in
scenic rural areas. Large buildings and tall structures, space extensive uses such asresource extraction uses, and extensive tree removal and re-grading of the landscapeare examples of developments and site alterations that have the potential to have amajor impact on rural character.
The Township shall weigh these impacts against other implications of such proposals,including social, economic and community benefits, the character of the area withinwhich the development is proposed to be located and the policies of this Plan generally,in order to make a determination as to the desirability, and ultimately theappropriateness of any such development.
Developments and site alterations that have a substantial detrimental impact on the ruralcharacter of the area, and the Township generally that, in the opinion of the Township,outweigh the benefits of the proposal, shall not generally be supported or approved.
Where such developments are permitted, all reasonable measures shall be required tomitigate and minimize impacts on the scenic, natural and rural character of thesurrounding area and the Township generally.
5.27 NATURAL HAZARDS
Physical hazard areas are areas that should not generally be developed,or from which a degree of protection is considered necessary.
Many of the physical hazard areas in the Township are shown on Schedule 83, asfollows:
All floodplains resulting from the greater of the Timmins Storm flood event or the100 year flood event;
All other areas with organic soils and/or poor drainage;
fdentified erosion hazard areas, adjacent river and streams including floodinghazard limit or meander belt allowance, stable slope allowance, toe erosionallowance and erosion access allowance;
ln addition to the above, all other areas where slopes are in excess of 6 m inheight and have the potential to be unstable (broken down into areas withbetween 15 and 30 percent slope, and areas with greater than 30 percent slope);
The areas shown on Schedule A3 are derived from available digitalinformation data bases. Other hazard lands may exist, and associatedallowances, access allowances, buffers and set-backs that are intended
