That Council approve the Zoning By-law amendment application to rezone Parcel 1 a site specific Tourist Commercial (TC) zone to recognize the existing 6 storey hotel and permit 16 and 14 storey hotel towers, with a portion of the required parking provided off-site on Parcels 2 and 3, subject to the regulations outlined in this report; 2. That the passage of the amending zoning by-law be conditional on the execution of a Section 37 agreement to secure a contribution for streetscape improvements along the land’s frontage on Fallsview Boulevard, Murray Street and Stanley Avenue and the design of the project; and 3. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the Section 37 agreement and its registration on title when all matters are addressed to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 5009868 Ontario Limited, 2100422 Ontario Limited and 1992219 Ontario Limited have requested a Zoning By-law amendment to recognize the existing 6 storey hotel and permit the development of 16 and 14 storey hotel towers on the land known as 6289 Fallsview Boulevard and to locate a portion of the required parking for this development off-site. The amendment is recommended for the following reasons:  The proposal complies with Provincial policies in terms of development within the Gateway Economic Zone; Page 56 of 592 2 PBD-2020-13 March 3, 2020  The subject lands are located in the Fallsview Subdistrict of the Central Tourist District which the City’s Official Plan intends to be the primary location for high -rise hotels;  Subject to the provision of landscape strips along Fallsview Boulevard and Robinson Street as recommended in this report, the site specific regulations requested by the applicant are appropriate and will facilitate the proposed development;  The two co-joined hotels, while not in full compliance with the Design Guidelines, incorporate change of materials and articulation to break up the length of the buildings in order to be consistent with the intent of the design guidelines for hotel development above four storeys, as adopted by Council; and  Permitting a portion of the required parking off-site does not create any adverse traffic conditions. The development should be subject to a Section 37 agreement to secure streetscape improvements along the three frontages and the design of the project. BACKGROUND Proposal 5009868 Ontario Limited, 2100422 Ontario Limited and 1992219 Ontario Limited have requested a Zoning By-law amendment for three parcels of land: 1.8 hectares (4.4 acres) known as 6289 Fallsview Boulevard (Parcel 1); 0.3 hectares (0.75 acres) of land on the south-west corner of Fallsview Boulevard and Robinson Street (Parcel 2); and 3.18 hectares (7.9 acres) known as 6046 Dunn Street (Parcel 3). Refer to Schedule 1 to locate the parcels. The zoning amendment is requested to permit the construction of 16 and 14 storey hotel towers (67 metres and 53 metres in height, respectively) on Parcel 1 and to permit a portion of the required parking for uses on Parcel 1 to be provided on Parcels 2 and 3. The existing hotel on Parcel 1 is proposed to be retained. Schedules 2 to 4 show details of the proposed development. Parcel 1 is zoned Tourist Commercial (TC), in part, and a site specific Tourist Commercial zone (TC-658), in part, in accordance with By-law No. 79-200, as amended by By-law No. 2004-73, which limits building heights to 12 metres. The applicant is requesting Parcel 1 to be zoned a new site specific TC zone to recognize the existing 6 storey hotel on the land and permit the proposed hotel towers. In addition, site specific regulati ons are requested to be added to the Tourist Commercial (TC) zoning of Parcel 2 and Parking (P- 635 and P-1023) zoning of Parcel 3 to permit additional required parking for the uses on Parcel 1 to be provided on these parcels. Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses Parcel 1 (6289 Fallsview Boulevard) is occupied by a 6 storey hotel (Best Western) which is being retained. Other buildings on the property have been demolished and a 3 storey Page 57 of 592 3 PBD-2020-13 March 3, 2020 hotel, which complies with current zoning regulations, is under con struction. This property slopes up from Fallsview Boulevard to Stanley Avenue. The property is surrounded by tourist commercial uses including the Imax Theater site (proposed to be redeveloped as a 12 storey hotel) to the east, a hotel and parking lot to the north, a parking lot and a Tim Horton’s to the west and the Hilton Hotel and new theatre to the south. Parcel 2 (South-west corner of Fallsview Boulevard and Robinson Street) is occupied by a parking lot. The former Pyramid Place is located to the east of Parcel 2 while dwellings and tourist commercial uses are located to the north, and a hotel and parking lot are located to the west and south. Parcel 3 (6046 Dunn Street) is partially developed as a parking lo and serves a number of hotels; current zoning allows this parking lot to be expanded with landscape strips and an acoustic wall to mitigate impacts on adjacent residents. This property is surrounded by a variety of residential uses to the north and west, a parking lot to the east, and vacant lands, zoned for a parking lot expansion, to the south. Circulation Comments Information about the requested Zoning By-law amendment was circulated to City divisions, the Region, agencies, and the public for comments. The following summarizes the comments received to date:  Regional Municipality of Niagara  No objections from a Provincial or Regional perspective  The Region has no objections or comments on the supporting studies provided with the application, including the Traffic Impact Study and Pedestrian Wind Study. Further review of stormwater management on Parcel 2 and urban design will occur at the site plan stage.  Niagara Parks Commission (NPC)  No objections. In accordance with the Niagara Parks Act and the Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act, signs within 400 metres of the Niagara Parkway are subject to NPC approval. Any proposed bridge over Murray Street should be reviewed by the NPC  Transportation Services  A 3.05 m wide road widening along Robinson Street and a 7 m by 7 m daylight triangle at the corner of Fallsview Boulevard and Robinson Street are required for Parcel 2  Parcels 1 and 2 are separated by a parking lot serving a different hotel; It is recommended the applicant consider obtaining an easement between the two parcels through the adjacent parking lot Page 58 of 592 4 PBD-2020-13 March 3, 2020  Building Services, Fire Services  No objections to the rezoning. Technical review of Ontario Building Code matters will be completed at the site plan and Building Permit stages. City, Regional and Education Development Charges will be assessed at the time of permit submission.  Legal Services, Municipal Works  No objections. Neighbourhood Open House A neighbourhood open house was held on January 21, 2020. A resident who lives next to the proposed driveway to the parking lot on Parcel 3, was in attendance, along with a representative of the company that owns the parking lot adjacent to Parcel 3, and an owner/tourist operator near to the proposed hotel. The neighbouring resident expressed a concern about protruding metal posts on the masonry wall along the existing driveway to the parking lot, and asked if plexiglass could be used instead of masonry at the top of the wall to allow light to penetrate into adjacent residential yards. The applic ant’s lawyer indicated that they would look into removing the metal posts and into using plexiglass on a portion of the wall. In addition, the property owner adjacent to Parcel 1 sought and received clarification that no vehicular access onto Murray Street was proposed, and requested copies of applicable studies. ANALYSIS 1. Provincial Policy Statement and Growth Plan The Planning Act requires City planning decisions to comply with Provincial policies. Under the Provincial “A Place to Grow” policy plan, Niagara Falls is identified as part of the Gateway Economic Zone. Planning and economic development in this Zone is to support economic diversity and promote increased opportunities for cross-border trade, movement of goods and tourism. The redevelopment of Parcel 1 for a more intensive hotel complies with these policies. 2. Official Plan Parcels 1 and 2 are designated Tourist Commercial in the City’s Official Plan and located in the Fallsview Subdistrict of the Central Tourist District. This Subdistrict is intended to be the primary location for high-rise hotels. Building heights of up to 30 storeys may be considered in this area. The Official Plan stipulates that new developments are to be consistent with the built form policies of the Plan and to provide streetscape improvements consistent with a master plan adopted by Council. The proposed hotels comply with the Official Plan as follows: Page 59 of 592 5 PBD-2020-13 March 3, 2020  The site is located in the middle of the Fallsview Tourist District, where hotels up to 30 storeys are expected;  As discussed under the Architectural Design Review section below, the project meets the intent of the built form policies and the related architectural design guidelines; and;  The applicant will be required to enter into a Section 37 Agreement to secure streetscape improvements along adjacent streets. Parcel 3 is subject to a Special Policy Area designation that allows for a tourist serving satellite parking lot with up to 1651 parking spots. This parking lot can accommodate the parking proposed to locate here. 3. Architectural Design Review All buildings in the Tourist Commercial area greater than 10 storeys are subject to an Architectural Design Review process. The applicant’s architect submitted an Architectural Design Brief, as required by the City’s revised process. The Brief evaluates the project’s conformity to the 7 principles contained in the City’s Tourism Policy Review Implementation Handbook. Staff have reviewed the Brief and note the following: Principle 1 – Positive Building Base The hotels provide a positive building base interface by provi ding a building face along more than 90% of the Murray Street frontage and 65 % of the Fallsview Boulevard frontage of Parcel 1 and incorporates active ground floor uses (restaurants/lounge and an associated patio which is covered by a canopy that extends to the property line and lobby) to engage the public and animate the street. In addition, a covered port-cochere is proposed behind the hotels to protect guests from adverse conditions. Principle 2 – Public Realm at Grade Through the execution of the recommended Section 37 Agreement the applicant will be required to contribute to streetscape improvements that are planned in the near future along Fallsview Boulevard. In addition, contributions are required for streetscaping improvements already made along Murray Street and Stanley Avenue. The streetscaping will provide for a landscaped pedestrian linkage to Queen Victoria Park Principle 3 – Skyview This principle seeks to maximize sky view and light between building towers above the podium level, mitigate shadowing and avoid a feeling of a wall of development through a set of built-form regulations. The proposal provides adequate tower setbacks from lot and street lines (5.9 m from Murray Street and Stanley Avenue, Page 60 of 592 6 PBD-2020-13 March 3, 2020 2.9 m from Fallsview Boulevard and 75 m from the north side lot line. However, the project departs from the following built-form regulations:  Whereas a maximum 1 to 1.5 length to width ratio is permitted, a 1 to 5 length to width ratio is proposed for the 14 storey Hyatt Centric hotel. A 1 to 3.5 width to length ratio is proposed for the 16 storey Hyatt Regency hotel;  Whereas a maximum floor plate size of 1115 sq. m. (12,000 sq. ft.) is permitted, an 2500 sq. m (26,900 sq. ft.) floor plate is proposed for the Hyatt Centric and a 2100 sq. m (22,600 sq. ft.) floor plate is proposed for the Hyatt Regency; and  Whereas a 25 metre separation distance is to be provided between towers on the same lot, the two proposed towers are joined. The applicant notes that the building massing along Fallsview Boulevard is reduced by introducing indents and material changes that provide an appearance of more than one building. The proposed hotels are modest in height compared to the Hilton hotel development to the south which reduces the perception of a tall, massive building. The applicant has also provided shadowing drawings that illustrate Fallsview Boulevard will not be shadowed by the building until early afternoon. Much of the shadow impacts on Fallsview Boulevard appear to be created by the Hilton tower. Although this Principle seeks to avoid large slab buildings , the design is still consistent with this Principle in providing light and transparency the street level due to its modest height and setback from the street. In addition, given their distance from Queen Victoria Park, the hotels will not create a wall effect along the escarpment. Staff do not object to the proposal’s deviation from this principle because of the articulation, change of materials and setbacks. Principle 4 – Skyline Height This principle states that the taller the building, the greater the emphasis should be on slenderness and visible sky view between towers. A diversity of building heights can be considered in the tourist core, but heights should be stepped down along Queen Victoria Park to minimize shadowing and view corridors toward the Skylon Tower should be protected within 300 metres of the Tower. The proposed complies with this principle as follows:  At 14-16 storeys, the hotels are mid-rise buildings and as such some deviation from the slender profile expected of a high-rise building could be considered;  A diversity of building heights is already provided along Fallsview Boulevard with hotel towers ranging from 10 to 52 storeys. The proposed hotels, with differing heights and architectural treatments, will con tribute to this diversity; Page 61 of 592 7 PBD-2020-13 March 3, 2020  Murray Street acts as a view corridor and is framed o n its south side by the Hilton Hotel (172 metres in height) and the new theatre (40 metres in height). The 16 storey, 67 metre high hotel would fram e this corridor on the north side;  The applicant has provided a viewpoint analysis which illustrates the hotels will only be visible travelling west on Murray Street out of Queen Victoria Park, given the modest height and the distance from Queen Victoria Park. Impacts on the Park are not expected;  A portion of the 14 storey hotel would be about 30 metres within the view corridor to the Skylon. Although a viewpoint analysis was not done from the west, the building is only 53 metres tall as compared to the 158 metre height of the Skylon, and therefore is not expected to block views of the Skylon ; and  The Hyatt Regency has been designed with rounded corners and a unique rooftop that will provide a distinctive element to the City’s skyline. Although the Hyatt Centric has a more conventional design, a unique circular roof feature is proposed. Refinement of Hyatt Centric’s roof is recommended at the site plan stage. Principle 5 - Views and Vistas This principle seeks a scale of development designed to maintain views and exposure to nature. Given the modest height of the buildings and their distance form Queen Victoria Park, the proposed hotel will not block any views, nor will it impact on Queen Victoria Park. Principle 6 – Microclimate A Microclimate Study was completed by RWDI for the development. This study concluded that the proposed hotels will actually improve wind conditions that currently exist on the public realm (sidewalks along Fallsview Boulevard, Murray Street and Stanley Avenue). There are several areas where occasional uncomfortable wind conditions may persist, the consultant suggests mitigation measures (wind screens on the site) to address these impacts. These wind screens should be incorporated in the design at site plan approval stage. Principle 7 – Parking and Circulation This principle seeks to reduce the visual impact of parking lots and traffic impacts caused by remote parking lots by containing parking on-site. Parking for the proposal is located partially on the site and on lands that are already zoned or used for parking purposes; adverse traffic impacts have not been iden tified. Page 62 of 592 8 PBD-2020-13 March 3, 2020 The applicant has proposed landscape strips between the parking lots and Fallsview Boulevard (1.7 to 2.1 metres in width) and Stanley Avenue (3 metres in width); meet the recommendations of the Streetscape Masterplan. The strip along Fallsview Avenue next to Parcel 1 should be increased to 2 metres in width. This can be accomplished by reducing the adjacent parking aisle width to 6.5 metres which will not impact parking or access. No landscaping is proposed between Robinson Avenue and the parking area on Parcel 2 to buffer the appearances of parked cars and improve the pedestrian experience. A 3 metre wide landscape strip is recommended by replacing the perpendicular parking spaces abutting the street with parallel parking and providing additional spaces on Parcel 3. Generous plantings should be provided to screen parking and improve the public realm. Extensive landscaping and a noise attenuation wall are required, by current zoning, to be installed on Parcel 3 to screen the extensive parking area from adjacent residences. 4. Zoning By-law Parcel 1 is currently zoned Tourist Commercial (TC) in accordance with Zoning By-law No. 79-200 which limits building heights to 12 metres. The applicant has requested site specific regulations to recognize the existing 6-storey hotel and permit the heights of the proposed hotels which are 67 metres (Hyatt Regency) and 57 metres (Hyatt Centric) in height. The proposed heights include the mechanical penthouses and roof features which exte nd 9 metres above the top floor of each hotel. The applicant has also requested that 604 of the 811 required parking spaces be allowed to be located off-site on Parcels 2 and 3. The departures from the standard regulations can be supported for the following reasons:  The property is located in an area where additional height is contemplated;  The amending by-law will require the inclusion of the roof features as proposed as well as the complementary architectural treatment of the mechanical penthouses to ensure complementary features are added to the City’s skyline; and  Parking lots are already permitted on Parcels 2 and 3. The applicant has submitted a transportation study which satisfactorily confirms traffic generated from valet parking arrangement can be accommodated within the road network. To ensure conformity with the design guidelines is maintained, the amending by- law should secure the building setbacks shown on Schedule 2. This includes minimum tower setbacks of 2.9 metres, 5.8 metres and 5.8 metres respectively from Fallsview Boulevard, Murray Street and Stanley Avenue and a minimum Page 63 of 592 9 PBD-2020-13 March 3, 2020 tower setback of 75 m from the northerly property line. In addition, the height of the existing 6 storey Best Western hotel should be recognized in the amending by- law. Landscape strips should be secured between parking areas and adjacent streets for Parcels 1 and 2, as discussed above. These strips should be 3 metres wide along Stanley Avenue and Robinson Street and 2 metres wide along Fallsview Boulevard. The amending by-law should accommodate the parking spaces displaced by the increase in landscaping from Parcel 2 (about 7) on Parcel 3 and reduce aisle widths on Parcel 1 from 6.9 metres to 6.5 metres to accommodate the recommended landscape strip along Fallsview Boulevard. Parcel 3 is already zoned to allow a parking lot and contains requirements for landscape strips as well as a 4.5 m high masonry wall to screen parked cars. For the new west access, the masonry wall can be dropped to 1 metre high within 6 metres of Dunn Street to allow visibility for motorists exiting properties on either side. Similar to the treatment of the wall abutting the eastern access, the applicant has illustrated this wall as dropping to 2 metres within 16.8 metres of Dunn Street and to 1 metre within 6.4 metres of Dunn Street. This drop in wall height allows daylight to filter in to windows along the side of dwellings that abut the access. Staff have no concerns with this approach, though the applicant should confirm the distance between Dunn Street and the rear of the dwellings to ensure a full height wall is constructed along the abutting rear yards to buffer neighbours from noise. In addition the by-law should allow the masonry wall to include transparent materials to allow light penetration into the abutting rear yards, provided there is not a reduction in noise protection. 5. Section 37 Agreement The Planning Act provides for Section 37 agreements for additional height and density. In return for the requested increased building height on Parcel 1, a contribution for streetscape improvements on Fallsview Boulevard is recommended. The streetscape improvements along Fallsview Boulevard in front of Parcels 1 and 2 are proposed as a future capital project. In addition, streetscape improvements were completed along Murray Street and Stanley Avenue as part of the Casino road improvements; as with other hotel developments monies should be collected to recoup this expenditure. It is recommended that a Section 37 Agreement, securing financial contributions to support new streetscaping and recoup past costs based on lot frontage, be executed prior to passage of the amending by-law. The cost of this streetscaping is estimated to be $489,000. As with other Section 37 Agreements, the architectural design is also to be secured in this agreement. A recommendation to execute this agreement has been included in this report. 6. Site Plan Page 64 of 592 10 PBD-2020-13 March 3, 2020 The development will be subject to site plan control. At the site plan stage detailed servicing and grading plans, landscape plans and lighting plans will be reviewed and approved. In addition, wind mitigation measures for Parcel 1 and storm drainage, landscaping and necessary noise mitigation measures for the off-site parking lots will be addressed. A cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication in the amount of 2% of the value of the property will be required at the site plan stage. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The proposed development will provide development charges, cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication in the amount of 2% of the value of the property and new tax assessment for the City as well as contributions to streetscape improvements under a Section 37 Agreement. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT This proposal does not impact any of the City’s strategic commitments.

Provincial Policy Statement & And A Place to Grow Plan Page 81 of 592 A GREAT CITY…FOR GENERATIONS TO COME Planning Analysis •Parcels 1 and 2 are designated Tourist Commercial in the City’s Official Plan and located in the Fallsview Subdistrict of the Central Tourist District. Building heights up to 30 storeys can be considered in this area subject to built form policies. The proposed hotels comply with the Official Plan as follows: –Parcel 1 is located in the middle of the Fallsview Subdistrict, where hotels up to 30 storeys are expected; –The project generally meets the intent of the built form policies and the related architectural design guidelines; and –The applicant will be required to enter into a Section 37 Agreement to secure streetscape improvements along adjacent streets. •Parcel 3 is subject to a Special Policy Area designation that allows for a tourist serving parking lot with up to 1651 parking spots. This parking lot can accommodate the parking proposed to locate here. Official Plan Page 82 of 592 A GREAT CITY…FOR GENERATIONS TO COME Planning Analysis •All building proposals in the Tourist Commercial area greater than 10 storeys are subject to an Architectural Design Review process. The applicant’s architect submitted an Architectural Design Brief which evaluates the projects conformity to the 7 principles contained in the City’s Tourism Policy Review Implementation Handbook with respect to the tower on Parcel 1. •Principle 1 –Positive Building Base –A human scale podium with ground level active uses to engage pedestrians and animate the abutting street frontages and a weather protected drop off for hotel guests has been provided. •Principle 2 –Public Realm at Grade –Through the execution of a Section 37 agreement the applicant will be required to contribute to streetscape improvements that are planned in the near future along Fallsview Boulevard, as well as for improvements that have already been made along Murray Street and Stanley Avenue. Architectural Design Review Page 83 of 592 A GREAT CITY…FOR GENERATIONS TO COME Planning Analysis •Principle 3 –Skyview –This principle seeks to maximize sky view and light between building towers, mitigate shadowing and avoid a feeling of a wall of development through a set of built-form regulations. : •Whereas a maximum 1 to 1.5 width to length ratio is permitted; a 1 to 5 width to length ratio is proposed for the 14 storey Hyatt Centric and a 1 to 3.5 width to length ratio is proposed for the 16 storey Hyatt Regency. •Whereas a maximum floor plate size of 1,115 sq. m. is permitted, a 2,500 sq. m. floor plate is proposed for the Hyatt Centric and a 2,100 sq. m. floor plate is proposed for the Hyatt Regency. •Whereas a 25 metre separation distance is to be provided between towers on the same lot the two proposed towers are joined. –Staff do not object to the proposal’s deviations for the following reasons: •Building massing along Fallsview Boulevard is reduced by introducing indents and material changes that provide an appearance of more than one building. •The proposed hotels are modest in height which reduces the perception of a tall massive building. •Fallsview Boulevard will not be shadowed by the building until early afternoon. •Give the distance from Queen Victoria Park, the hotels will not create a wall effect along the escarpment. Architectural Design Review cont.Page 84 of 592 A GREAT CITY…FOR GENERATIONS TO COME Planning Analysis Principle 4 –Skyline Height •The taller the building, the greater the emphasis should be on slenderness and visible skyview between towers. •A diversity of building heights can be considered in the tourist core but heights should be stepped down along the edge of the tourist district area to minimize shadowing and view corridors to the Skylon Tower should be established for new buildings within 300 metres of the Tower. Proposed hotel towers meet this principle as follows: –At 14-16 storeys the hotels are mid rise buildings and as such some deviation from the slender profile of a high-rise building could be considered –A diversity of building heights is already provided along Fallsview Boulevard, the proposed hotels, with differing heights and architectural treatments will contribute to this diversity –Murray Street acts as a view corridor and is framed on the south side by the Hilton Hotel and new theatre, The 16 storey hotel would frame this corridor on the north side –Applicant has provided a viewpoint analysis which illustrates the hotels will only be visible travelling west on Murray Street out of Queen Victoria Park –The proposed hotels are not expected to block views of the Skylon due to their modest height and –The Hyatt Regency has been designed to provide a distinctive element to the City’s skyline.

M W V W W_ N,Page 92 of 592 TS-2020-09 March 3, 2020 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2020-09 Seniors Free Transit Pilot Program Review RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that this report be received for the consideration of Council. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Council at its July 16, 2019 meeting approved a motion to establish a three (3) month pilot project that would allow all resident seniors aged 65 and older to ride for free on Niagara Falls Transit (including Chair-A-Van), starting September 1, 2019. The goal was to determine if the incentive of free transit would encourage seniors who are house bound and/or do not currently use city transit services to utilize city bus services to connect to their community. The program ended on November 30, 2019. Staff provided an update to Council at the November 12, 2019 meeting, advising council of the next steps in the review process. Based on the results from the Pilot Program, it was determined, that there was increased ridership on conventional service with minimal impact of service delivery. However, with the legislated requirement to provide parallel rate structures for both conventional and paratransit services, the pilot resulted in a negative impact on the Chair-A-Van service. Several options were prepared by staff and presented to the Seniors Advisory Committee. After reviewing the various options and the Committee’s recommendation, it was determined that free transit for resident seniors would severely impact the ability to meet Chair-A-Van service demands, the city operating budget and reduce provincial gas tax allocation. As an alternative to free transit for all resident seniors, 65 or older, consideration should be given to Option #1 to utilizing the water/tax rebate program which targets low income seniors. This would ensure that those senior residents who are in need of subsidization would receive subsidized transit opportunity through a system that is currently in place. Page 93 of 592 2 TS-2020-09 March 3, 2020 Finally, with the Transit governance issue slated to be completed soon, consideration for assistance for low income seniors can be further explored once the governance issue has been resolved. BACKGROUND Council at its July 16, 2019 meeting approved a motion to establish a three (3) month pilot project that would allow all seniors aged 65+ to ride for free on Niagara Falls Transit (including Chair-A-Van) starting September 1, 2019. The goal was to determine if the incentive of free transit would encourage seniors who are house bound and/or do not currently use city transit services to utilize city bus services to connect to their community. The program ended on November 30, 2019. Staff provided an update to Council at the November 12, 2019 meeting, advising council of the next steps in the review process. Due to the legislated requirement to provide parallel rates, and service level structures for both conventional and paratransit services, the Chair-A-Van service was also included in the pilot program. Results of the Pilot Program A total of 1,474 passes were issued during the 3 month pilot program, with 950 passes being used and 524 passes not being activated. Of the 950 passes issued, 875 passes were for Conventional transit while 75 passes were used on board the Chair-A-Van Service. 219 passes were issued to new users, with the breakdown being 215 passes for conventional service and 4 (2 could not obtain bookings due to capacity) issued for Chair-A-Van service. During the three month pilot 150 more trips were booked by ‘FREE PASS Senior’ riders on Chair-A-Van. Due to issues with being at service capacity and the AODA legislation’s ‘duty to accommodate’ regardless of trip purpose 282 rides were not able to be booked by other clients. AODA Legislation  AODA legislation requires same free trip subsidy and same hours of service on Chair-A-Van as is provided on Conventional transit  Legislatively, Not Able to Prioritize Chair-A-Van Trips, ie. Medical, Educational, Employment, Shopping, Leisure, etc.  Chair-A-Van Service is currently meeting existing service needs but is operating at capacity Page 94 of 592 3 TS-2020-09 March 3, 2020 Options to be considered Option 1 Provide a subsidy to senior homeowners through the City’s Senior Water/Property (Water subsidy for renters) Tax Credit Program at 50% of the regular adult pass (cost of $1.50 per ride for cash fare and $32.50 for a 30 day Adult pass). Service Impacts  Minor impact on Chair-A-Van Service related to the overall availability of Medical, Educational and Employment trips for all registrants. Financial Impact  Estimated to be in the range of $20,000 to $40,000 (Conventional and Chair-A-Van Services) annually Option 2 Offer free rides to all resident Seniors Weekdays between the hours of 9:00am and 2:30pm. Service Impact  Would affect Trip priority on Chair-A-Van Service related to the overall availability of Medical, Educational and Employment trips for registrants.  This is peak service for Chair-A-Van  Would overwhelm Chair-A-Van Service requiring additional staffing and equipment. Financial Impacts  $160,000 (Conventional and Chair-A-Van Services) Annually  $30,000 in lost gas tax funding  $150,000 staffing and equipment  Total Financial Impact is $340,000 Page 95 of 592 4 TS-2020-09 March 3, 2020 Option 3 Offer unlimited free rides to all resident Senior’s. Service Impacts  Would affect Trip priority on Chair-A-Van Service related to the overall availability of Medical, Educational and Employment trips for registrants.  Would overwhelm Chair-A-Van Service requiring additional vehicles, drivers and services. Financial Impact  $247,000 (Conventional and Chair-A-Van Services) Annually  $40,000 in lost gas tax funding  $300,000 staffing and equipment  Total Financial Impact is $587,000 Option 4 Status Quo Financial Impact  None Service Impacts  None Seniors Advisory Committee Staff attended the Seniors Advisory Committee Meeting on February 13, 2020. A review of the information collected during the 3 month Seniors Ride Free transit pilot program was provided along with some suggested options. After much deliberation, the Committee provided the following recommendation through a motion: “implement a 50% fee reduction for the 65+ demographic and option 2 (free trips for 65+ between 9:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., weekdays) is introduced once the new Chair-a-Van vehicles are in place and staffing requirements have been met as aligned with the 2021 budget discussions” Page 96 of 592 5 TS-2020-09 March 3, 2020 Step 1 - 50% Fee reduction for resident Senior’s in 2020 – Financial impact is $125,000. Could have negative impact on Chair-A-Van Service. Step 2 - Free Trips for resident seniors between 9:00am and 2:30pm. Additional Financial Impact is $280,000 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The responsibility of managing social programs lies with the Region of Niagara with the subsidization of programs being under their purview. Therefore, the introduction of programs to subsidize low income seniors or any other group is their responsibility. The only City program that involves income test is the Senior Water/Property Tax Credit Program. We have the ability to do an income test on those seniors who are home owners as well as renters who pay their own water bills. The demographics of the Chair-A-Van operation is 80% of registrants are seniors 65 and older. Currently, only 32% of those registrants utilize the service. The service is just capable of accommodating the current ridership levels with the staffing and vehicles it operates with. Offering free Chair-A-Van service to seniors would require additional equipment and staff to be added to meet the demand for additional senior service requests. Based on the results from the Pilot Program, it was determined, that there was increased ridership on conventional service with minimal impact of service delivery. However, with the legislated requirement to provide parallel rate structures for both conventional and paratransit services resulted in a negative impact on the Chair-A-Van service and its users. As an alternative to free transit for all resident seniors, 65 or older, consideration should be given to Option #1 to utilizing the water/tax rebate program which target low income seniors. This would ensure that those senior residents who are in need of subsidization would receive a subsidized transit opportunity through a system that is currently in place and within the City’s ability to provide. The City’s transit operations are partially funded through provincial Gas Tax based on ridership and population as reported annually to the Canadian Urban Transit Association. Only ridership considered ‘revenue’ i.e. pays a fare can be claimed. Any free trips onboard conventional or specialized transit cannot be reported therefore reducing the subsidization of the service overall by the province. Page 97 of 592 6 TS-2020-09 March 3, 2020 FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The financial impact is provided above based on the option that Council wishes to implement. It was determined that should free transit for resident seniors 65+ be selected, it would severely impact the ability to meet Chair-A-Van service demands, impact the city operating budget and reduce provincial gas tax allocation. A significant investment to the Chair-A-Van operation in order to meet the demands of the free service. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Committed to employing a safe, accessible, convenient, integrated and fiscally responsible transportation system that provides realistic travel options to the auto, thereby, creating a City that is truly accessible to locals and visitors.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2020-04 Matters Arising from Municipal Heritage Committee Earl Thomas House 6320 Pine Grove Ave – Proposed Severance Owner: Jajou Fourat RECOMMENDATION That Council not approve the proposed alteration of the property in the form of the severance of a portion of the property as it will impact the setting of the building on the property which is one of its most important heritage attributes. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The Earl Thomas house, c.1929, is described as sitting on a slight rise in a prominent position at the corner of Pine Grove Avenue and Murray Street. (Schedule 1, Location map) The two storey Tudor Revival style dwelling (Schedule 2) is situated on the east side of Pine Grove Avenue and straddles the lot lines of two of the four lots which provide the landscaped setting for this building. The house was designed by Claude Finlay for Earl Thomas, who was a prominent member of the community and contributed to the development of Bright’s Wines, now Vincor Winery. The property was designated in 2009 by By-law No. 2009-191. The owner has submitted a proposal to sever a portion of the lands along the east lot line. (Schedule 3 – shown as Part 2). In addition to the architectural significance and associative value with Earl Thomas, t he setting of the property is a character defining element which is the first heritage attribute listed in the description of the heritage attributes in the designating by-law. The large property consisting of four lots with mature trees creates a significant landscape setting. The 2015 Provincial Policy Statement and Niagara Falls Official Plan require that any development or site alteration on adjacent lands to protected heritage properties must demonstrate that the heritage attributes of the protected property will be preserve d. Given that the property at 6320 Pine Grove Avenue is designated, the Municipal Heritage Committee requested submission of a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for the property to assist in determining what impacts the severing of the property would have on the designated property. The HIA opined that the creation of the lot behind the existing dwelling would have the least impact on the dwelling and a new dwelling could be built behind the existing dwelling maintaining visual prominence of the historic home. Through a review of the HIA, the Committee determined that the views and vistas both in to the property and out from the property would be severely impacted. The Page 137 of 592 2 PBD-2020-04 March 3, 2020 landscape of the rear yard will be completely eradicated with the destruction of the kitchen garden at the rear of the house as well as the original plantings in that area. As one Committee member stated: “the heritage value is in the property as a whole as the dwelling is prominently and symmetrically located at the centre of the four lots surrounded by well laid out landscaped zones”. The setting of the house on the property would be severely impacted as the house would cease to be centered on the four lots to become located to the rear of an oddly shaped lot. The Committee was not supportive of the proposed severance. The Municipal Heritage Committee met on May 27, 2019 and made the following motion with respect to the Earl Thomas House, “That the Committee does not support the proposed severance as it will impact the setting of the building and will alter the reasons for designation of the property.” The owner has now submitted a severance application to the Committee of Adjustment. That application is on hold pending Council’s decision. The alteration of the property through the proposed severing of a portion of the lands along the east property line will have a large impact on the setting of the house (Schedule 4 – photo of landscaped setting) on the property which is one of the most important heritage attributes of th e property. Therefore, the Municipal Heritage Committee cannot support this proposal. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS There are no financial implications to the City with respect to this proposal.

Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 3 Introduction This Heritage Impact Assessment is produced as a requirement for a proposed consent to sever a lot from the property at 6320 Pine Grove Avenue (Earl A. Thomas House), Lots 132, 133, 134 and 135, Plan 315 in the City of Niagara Falls. The assessment provides historical background, identifies significant heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes and analyses the impact of the proposed development on the protected and identified heritage resources on the subject property and its impact on cultural heritage landscape features and resources on the properties. Because the property is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA) a Regulation 9/06 analysis and a draft Statement of Significance do not constitute part of this assessment (APPENDIX I). These were completed when the property was designated. Figure 1: Subject Property 6320 Pine Grove Avenue Subject Lands The subject property is located in a residential area on the northeast corner of Pine Grove Avenue and Murray Street a block east of Drummond Road, south of Symmes Street and west of Orchard Avenue. The house, which is centred on the lot, faces Pine Grove Avenue. The driveway and garage access is from Murray Street. Page 146 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 4 Surrounding Land Uses and Heritage Properties The surrounding land uses are residential. The streets are arranged in a tight grid pattern of lots of similar size and shape. The residential properties along Pine Grove Avenue are single detached dwellings of varying ages and styles located on properties of a consistent size and shape. The property at 6320 Pine Grove Road is the largest property on the street consisting of a number of lots purchased by Earl A. Thomas before the house was constructed. Along Murray Street there is a mix of houses to the west and east and low rise apartment buildings, mainly located on the south side of the street to the east. There is one apartment building located immediately east of the subject property on the north side of the street which effectively obscures views of the property looking west along Murray Street. Figure 2: Subject Property: 6320 Pine Grove Avenue There are no designated properties adjacent to the subject property. The closest properties designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA), are the J. Ingles House, an 1855 Gothic Revival cottage and the Orchard/Cadham House an 1850 house with Queen Anne details, both located three (3) blocks north of 6320 Pine Grove Avenue on the north side of Culp Street. The closest listed property, the Mcglashan House, is located at 6395 Drummond Road. While it is not designated under Part IV of the OHA, the property is listed on the city’s Heritage Properties Database. This property and others on Culp Street are considered to be of significant cultural heritage value and interest. Page 147 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 5 Figure 3: Designated and Listed Properties Near 6320 Pine Grove Avenue (City of Niagara Falls) Proposal The proposal is to sever a lot on the east side of the property (rear yard) and to construct a house on the severed lot. The proposed lot frontage is 13m (42.65 ft.) The building envelope is set back 16m (52.49 ft.) from Murray Street. Side yard set backs are 1.25m (4.10 ft.) and the rear yard is 7.59m (24.90 ft.) in depth. The existing dwelling, which is designated under Part IV of the OHA, will remain in its current location and the generous side yards and a portion of the rear yard will be maintained as existing.

Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 6 Figure 4: Proposed Severance Sketch (APPENDIX II) Page 149 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 7 Existing Heritage Policy Context The Planning Act Part 1 of the Planning Act includes a list of matters of provincial interest. Section 2(d) states that the Minister, the council of a municipality and the Ontario Municipal Board, in carrying out their responsibilities shall have regard to:  The conservation of features of significant architectural, cultural, historical, archaeological or scientific interest. In 2015, an additional clause, Section 2(r), was added. This clause provides for the promotion of built form that is well-designed, encourages a sense of place, and provides for public spaces that are of high quality, safe, accessible, attractive and vibrant. Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) Section 2.6 of the PPS, Cultural Heritage and Archaeology, contains the following policies for both built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes. Policy 2.6.1: Significant built heritage resources and significant cultural landscapes shall be conserved. Policy 2.6.3: Planning authorities shall not permit development and site alterations on adjacent lands to protected heritage property unless the proposed development and any site alteration is evaluated and that evaluation demonstrates that the heritage attributes of the protected property will be conserved. Policy 2.6.2: Development and site alteration on lands containing archaeological potential is not permitted unless any archaeological resources have been conserved. The PPS provides the following definitions which assist in understanding and applying these cultural heritage and archaeology policies. Significant built heritage resource means a building, structure, monument, installation or any manufactured remnant that contributes to a property’s cultural heritage value or interest as identified by a community. Built heritage resources are generally located on property that has been designated under Parts IV or V of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA), or included on local, provincial and/or federal registers. Page 150 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 8 Significant cultural landscape means a defined geographical area that may have been modified by human activity and is identified as having cultural heritage value or interest by a community. The area may involve features such as structures, spaces, archaeological sites or natural elements that are valued for their interrelationship, meaning or association. Examples may include, but are not limited to, heritage conservation districts, villages, parks, gardens, battlefields, main streets, neighbourhoods, cemeteries, trailways, view sheds, natural areas and industrial complexes. Protected heritage property means a property designated under Parts IV, V or VI of the Ontario Heritage Act. Adjacent means those lands contiguous to a protected heritage property or as otherwise defined in the municipal official plan. Development means creation of a new lot, a change in land use, or the construction of buildings and structures requiring Planning Act approval. Site alteration means activities such as grading, excavations and placement of fill. Heritage attributes means the principal features or elements that contribute to a protected heritage property’s cultural heritage value or interest. These may include the property’s built elements as well as natural landforms, vegetation, water features and visual setting including views or vistas to or from a protected heritage property Archaeological resources include artifacts and archaeological sites as defined under the Ontario Heritage Act. Identification and evaluation of these resources are based on archaeological fieldwork undertaken in accordance with that Act. The property at 6320 Pine Grove Avenue is designated under Part IV of the OHA and is a protected heritage property in accordance with the policies in the PPS. There are no protected properties adjacent to this property. Because the property is a significant cultural heritage resource, a heritage impact assessment is required in accordance with the policies in the PPS. This requirement is affirmed in the Regional and local Official Plan policies. Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe The 2017 Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe was approved by an Order in Council in May 2017 and came into effect on July 1, 2017. Heritage conservation policies in the new Growth Plan have been enhanced to recognize the importance of cultural heritage resources for their contribution to a sense of identity; their support of a vibrant tourism industry; and their ability to attract investment based on cultural amenities. The Plan also recognizes that accommodating development growth can put pressure on these resources and that it is necessary to plan to protect and maximize the benefits of these resources for their ability to make communities unique and attractive places to live. Page 151 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 9 Policy 4.2.7 states that cultural heritage resources will be conserved to foster a sense of place and encourages municipalities to prepare archaeological management plans and cultural plans to be considered in their decisions regarding development Policy 4.2.9(d)iii, A Culture of Conservation, promotes building conservation and adaptive reuse and recycling of construction materials. The Plan also includes definitions for Built Heritage Resource, Cultural Heritage Landscape and Cultural Heritage Resources that align with the definitions in the PPS. The heritage impacts of the proposed development will be assessed in accordance with Growth Plan policies in the PPS and the Regional and local official plans. Ontario Heritage Act (OHA) The OHA provides policies and regulations for the protection of built heritage resources, cultural landscapes such as heritage conservation districts, and archaeological resources through the process of identifying, listing and designating those resources. Part IV of the Act deals with:  Designation of individual properties;  Alterations that are likely to affect the heritage attributes of those properties as specified in designation by-laws;  Requests to demolish those properties; and  Listing designated properties on the Register Section 27(1.2) of the Act permits Council to include property on the Register that is not designated under Part IV; but that the municipality believes to be of cultural heritage value or interest. Part V of the Act deals with:  Designation of heritage conservation districts;  Preparation of heritage conservation district plans and their contents;  Alterations to any part of the property with the exception of the interior of buildings or structures; and  Requests to demolish buildings or structures on those properties. Part VI of the Act deals with:  Archaeological sites including activities of work on those sites; and  Licensing of archaeologists. Regulation 9/06 under the OHA provides criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest. Page 152 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 10 Standards and Guidelines for Conservation of Historic Places in Canada The Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada were first published in 2003 and updated in 2010. These standards and guidelines, while they have no legislative authority, are a tool to help users decide how best to conserve historic places, their heritage value and character defining elements. They are used in partnership with statements of the significance of heritage resources, such as designation by-laws. Anyone carrying out an intervention that may impact the heritage values and character defining elements of a heritage resource must be mindful of the impacts on that resource. The Standards and Guidelines indicate that it is important to know where the heritage value of the historic place lies, along with its condition, evolution over time, and past and current importance to its community. Planning should consider all factors affecting the future of a historic place, including the needs of the owners and users, community interests, the potential for environmental impacts, available resources and external constraints. The most effective planning and design approach is an integrated one that combines heritage conservation with other planning and project goals, and engages all partners and stakeholders early in the process and throughout. For historic places, the conservation planning process also needs to be flexible to allow for discoveries and for an increased understanding along the way, such as information gained from archaeological investigations or impact assessments. Any action or process that results in a physical change to the character-defining elements of a historic place must respect and protect its heritage value. A historic place’s heritage value and character-defining elements can be identified through formal recognition, such as designation under the OHA and by nomination to the Canadian Register of Historic Places. In assessing a proposed alteration to a designated property or any property of cultural heritage value and interest, the 14 Standards for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada will be adhered to. The heritage value and character-defining elements of the property at 6320 Pine Grove Avenue must be conserved when the consent is granted.. Niagara Regional Official Plan The Niagara Regional Official Plan, Section 10C, contains objectives and policies for the protection of built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes and requires a heritage impact assessment where development, site alteration and/or public works projects are proposed on, or adjacent to, a significant built heritage resource or cultural heritage landscape. Page 153 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 11 Objectives include:  Supporting the identification and conservation of significant built heritage resources and significant cultural heritage landscapes;  Recognizing the aesthetic, cultural and economic value of open space and parks;  Recognizing the importance of quality design; and  Conserving significant built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes within the unique community context of every site. City of Niagara Falls Official Plan The intent of the City of Niagara Falls Official Plan is to focus new growth to accommodate people and jobs in a sustainable fashion that makes for an orderly and effective use of land and infrastructure, creates compact, livable communities and protects the City’s natural heritage and agricultural lands. 1. Residential Designation The property at 6320 Pine Grove Avenue is designated Residential in the Niagara Falls Official Plan and is located in the Built-up Area. While it is in the Drummond Community Planning District, it is not in the Drummondville Node and is not subject to the policies specific to the Node. The intent of the Plan with respect to the Residential designation is to provide for residential development that is sufficient to accommodate anticipated population growth and the need for various housing types and densities throughout the period of the Plan. Residential development should occur in a manner which is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood. The predominant use of land in the Residential designation is dwelling units of all types catering to a wide range of households. Predominant uses include single detached and semi-detached dwellings, duplexes, triplexes, quadraplexes, townhouses, apartments, group homes and other forms of residential accommodation. Goals and objectives of the Residential designation include:  To accommodate a variety of lifestyles by encouraging a broad range of housing types;  To protect and enhance the character and image of existing residential neighbourhoods; and  To encourage high quality design that is environmentally sustainable and is compatible with the character and image of the adjacent buildings. The Official Plan recognizes that opportunities exist throughout the Built-Up Area to create new housing units. Intensification must be designed to integrate into the surrounding neighbourhood. Page 154 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 12 The following policies will be considered in the design of residential development, intensification and infilling in the Built-Up Area.  Retaining the character of the existing neighbourhoods within the Built-up Area;  Blending residential development, intensification and infilling into the lot fabric, streetscape and built form of a neighbourhood;  Creating a gradation of building heights and densities with sufficient horizontal separation distances between taller buildings and low rise dwellings in order to ensure a complementary arrangement of residential uses; and  Encouraging a harmonious mix of single and multiple accommodation so that at any one time a variety of housing types will be available suitable for different age groups, household sizes and incomes. The conservation and renewal of the existing housing stock is encouraged as an important element in meeting future housing needs. In addition, the maintenance and rehabilitation of existing housing is promoted. 2. Heritage Conservation Part 3, Section 4 of the City of Niagara Falls Official Plan is devoted to objectives and policies for the conservation of cultural heritage resources in the Town. Relevant general policies include:  Appointing citizen representatives to a Municipal Heritage Committee (MHC) under the terms of the OHA to research and advise City Council on heritage matters relating to the identification, protection and/or management of properties of cultural heritage value or interest and advising and assisting Council on other heritage related matters as required.  Maintaining a register of properties that are considered to be of cultural heritage value or interest containing both those lands that have been designated under Parts IV or V of the Ontario Heritage Act as well as listed properties believed to be worthy of future designation.  Promoting the conservation of heritage resources, with advice from the MHC, by designating significant properties of cultural heritage value or interest under Parts IV or V of the OHA.  Assessing, in consultation with the MHC, built heritage resources by use of studies, surveys or other methods using the following criteria.  The property represents a rare, unique, or early example of a style, type, expression, and material or construction method.  Built resources or design of the property displays exceptional craftsmanship or artistic merit.  Elements of the property demonstrate a high degree of technical or scientific achievement. Page 155 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D.

Urban Design Strategy The City of Niagara Falls Official Plan includes polices that provide guidance with respect to urban design for new development and redevelopment. The purpose of these policies is to upgrade and maintain the city’s civic image and economic potential and to create a compact, interconnected, pedestrian-oriented and transit-supported community. Relevant policies include:  Utilizing building, streetscaping and landscaping designs to improve the built and social environment of the city that integrates and is compatible with the surrounding area including natural and cultural heritage features.  Designing new development and redevelopment that specifically addresses the height, setbacks, massing, siting and architecture of existing buildings to provide a compatible relationship with exiting development in the area.  Designing pedestrian oriented development.  Minimizing parking areas in the front yard and locating it primarily in the rear or side yards with sufficient landscaping to create an effective buffer to abutting lands.  Orienting landscaping within development sites towards public use areas to create attractive amenity areas and entranceways.  Ensuring that the size and extent of new plantings is appropriate or the mass and size of the building and surrounding areas and selecting suitable tree types and plant species.  Using landscaping to mitigate the impacts of development on surrounding lands and encouraging adequate buffering, screening and other landscaping measures.  Encouraging the preservation and incorporation of existing tress, vegetation, green areas and topography into the design and landscaping plans of proposed developments. City of Niagara Falls Zoning By-law No. 79-200 The property at 6320 Pine Grove Avenue is zoned Residential 1E Density Zone (R1E Zone) in Zoning By-law 79-200. Permitted uses in the Residential 1E Density Zone include:  A detached dwelling;  A home occupation in a detached dwelling;  Accessory buildings and accessory structures;  A group home type 1. In the Residential 1E Density Zone (R1E Zone) there are also specific requirements for lot area, minimum lot frontage, front and rear yard depths, interior side yard widths, maximum lot coverage, maximum building height, maximum number of dwellings on a lot and parking and access. The proposed severance has been designed to meet and, in some cases, exceed the regulations in Zoning By-law 79-200 (APPENDIX II). Page 157 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 15 Heritage Impact Analysis Description of Proposed Development and Site Alteration The proposal is to sever a single residential lot on the east side of the property at 6320 Pine Grove Avenue in the City of Niagara Falls. The lot fronts on Murray Street with access to that street via a driveway on the east side of the lot. (APPENDIX II) The following lot dimensions are proposed, all of which meet or exceed the regulations for lots in the Residential 1E Density Zone (R1E Zone) as follows . Lot frontage – 13m (42.65 ft.) Lot Depth – 37.436m (122.822 ft.) Lot Area – 486.7sq.m. (5238.80 sq.ft.) Front yard setback minimum – 15.91m (52.20 ft.) Rear yard setback minimum – 7.59m (24.90 ft.) Driveway width minimum – 4m (13.12 ft.) Historical Research and Site Analysis1 1. History of Niagara Falls 1. Aboriginal Peoples The earliest settlers in the Niagara area were the Mound Builders who settled in the Niagara region around 100 AD. By 1400, Neutrals occupied the area. The Iroquois defeated the Neutrals in the mid 1600’s and decimated both their numbers and their culture. Over the past 40 to 50 years there has been considerable research about the Neutral demonstrating that their villages tended to cluster in distinct geographical areas. The City of Niagara Falls coincides with the most easterly cluster in Ontario. There is one village in this cluster known as the Stanley site located close to the northern municipal boundary of the city and the Niagara Escarpment. During the later 17th and early 18th centuries the former Neutral territory was occupied by the Mississaugas whose economy was based on garden farming, hunting, fishing and gathering of wild plants. The British Crown, recognizing that these people were the “owners” of the western bank of the Niagara River, negotiated with them to facilitate settlement of the Loyalists and their Six Nations allies after the American Revolution. 1 Seibel, George A., The Niagara Portage Road (City of Niagara Falls, 1990), 19-29, 269 and Bray, Carl and Associates, Niagara Falls Heritage Master Plan, 31-36, 38-47 Page 158 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 16 2. First European Contact The first documented visit by a European explorer to the area was Samuel de Champlain in 1615, who encountered the aboriginal peoples known as the Neutrals. The first description of these peoples, their villages and settlement patterns was in 1626, by Joseph de La Roche Daillon, a Recollet missionary. There were no new written records of contact until 1640 when the Jesuits, Jean De Brebeuf and Joseph Pierre-Marie Chaumonot attempted to establish a mission among the Neutral. Their superior, Jerome Lalement, transcribed their notes in the Jesuit Relations in 1641 and mentioned the village of Onguiaahra on the east side of the river of the same name. 3. United Empire Loyalists While the French formally claimed possession of the Niagara River in the late 17 th century, it was under British rule that permanent settlements were established. The first permanent settlers were United Empire Loyalists, predominantly from New York State. Those who remained loyal lost their homes and freedom. Some, such as Colonel John Butler, raised a corps of Rangers who fought alongside the Iroquois against the revolutionary forces. Butler knew that losing the war would force Loyalist refugees, who were housed in Fort Niagara, to immigrate across the Niagara River. He suggested that a large tract of land should be purchased from the Mississaugas to facilitate settlement. The purchase was negotiated by Sir Guy Carleton in 1781 and included all of the land that now constitutes the City of Niagara Falls. In 1783, with the signing of the Treaty of Paris, permanent settlement began. Free land was granted to Loyalists and disbanded soldiers, though they were not owners of their land until the arrival of Governor Simcoe in 1792, when deeds to these properties were granted from the Crown. Niagara Township was the earliest township surveyed, in 1787. Stamford Township, which contained a large population of Rangers and Loyalists, was surveyed in 1788. The early roads used by the Loyalist settlers in the newly surveyed townships generally followed trails that were used by Aboriginal people. Drummond Road through Niagara Falls is one of these, providing a natural egress over the Escarpment to Lake Ontario. 4. Early Settlers and the Portage Road The first settlers in the Niagara Falls area were Philip Bender and Thomas McMicken who arrived in 1782 with their families. The early settlers needed a way to get around the falls. They began using the trail from Isaac Dolson’s property in Queenston which led to the top of the Niagara Escarpment through the lands lowned by the McMickens and other families. The path then ran past the bottom of Drummond Hill through the Forsyth property and terminated at John Burtch’s mill on the banks of the Chippawa River. This was the forerunner of what came to know as the Portage Road. In 1788, Robert Hamilton, George Forsyth, John Burtch and Archibald Cunningham organized the first portage between Chippawa and Queenston. The Page 159 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 17 road was a vital transportation line during the War of 1812-1814 and for future settlement in Niagara.2 Figure 5: Map of Stamford Military Reserve, 1807 - Brock University Map Library 5. The War of 1812 – 1814 The United States declared war on Great Britain in June 1812. The American government, aware that large numbers of Americans had settled in the Niagara Peninsula, felt that it would be easy to liberate Upper Canada. Major-General Sir Isaac Brock was aware of the possibility that some of the population would not be loyal to the Crown. However, many militia units remained loyal and Brock had the advantage of better trained British regulars and Aboriginal allies. Brock was sure that an attack along the Niagara River was inevitable. To watch the border, he formed four (4) divisions composed of regulars and militia and located them at strategic crossing points along the river. Although Brock was killed at Queenston Heights in 1813, his strategy was justified and troops were able to inflict defeats on the invaders in the first two (2) years of the war. 2 Seibel, George A., The Niagara Portage Road, (City of Niagara Falls, 1990) 29 and http://www.niagarafallsinfo.com/niagara-falls-history/niagara-falls-municipal-history Page 160 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 18 Lands within the current City of Niagara Falls were not greatly impacted by the war until 1814. Two devastating battles were fought that year, the Battle of Chippawa and the Battle of Lundy’s Lane. At Chippawa the Americans held the field. At Lundy’s Lane both armies suffered devastating losses in one of the bloodiest battles of the war exacerbated by the fact that it was fought at night. Casualties for the British numbered 800 while those for the Americans numbered 860 including the loss of many officers. The Americans withdrew to Chippawa and then to Fort Erie where they endured a two (2) month siege. They withdrew in November and made no further attempts to gain control of the west side of the river. Hostilities ceased and the Treaty of Ghent was signed on Christmas Eve 1814. 6. Settlement after the War of 1812 – 1814 The war disrupted the economy and halted the flow of immigrants into Upper Canada. However, the end of the war brought new interest in emigration from Europe and the United States. Population growth resulted in the reorganization of Welland County in 1856 to include the townships of Crowland, Bertie, Humberstone, Pelham, Willoughby, Thorold, Wainfleet and Stamford. This township organization lasted until 1970 when the Region of Niagara was created and the City of Niagara Falls was formed from four (4) of the former townships. During the period after the war services in the area grew. In 1816 a regular stage coach service was established between Niagara and York and James Forsyth built the National Hotel on the Portage Road near the intersection of present-day Main Street. Four early settlements or villages are illustrated in Tremaine Map of 1862 and the Historical Atlas of Lincoln and Welland of 1876, including Drummondville, Clifton, Chippawa, and Stamford Village. These villages contained churches, meeting halls, schools, blacksmith shops, stores, hotels and taverns serving the local communities and the surrounding countryside. Drummondville was located where the Portage Road intersected with Lundy’s Lane and Ferry Street and was named for Sir Gordon Drummond, the leader to the British forces at the Battle of Lundy’s land. It received village status in 1831 and by 1859 the community had a population of 500 people. Prominent citizens included Adam Fralick, hotel owner; Samuel Falconbridge, postmaster and merchant; John Misner, wagon maker; Austin Morse, mortician and furniture maker; Robert Slater, hotel owner; Andrew Moss, cabinet maker; and James Skinner, harness maker. William Russell built a brewery in the village in 1844 and in 1849 Lord Elgin, Governor General of Canada, was a resident of Drummondville. Drummondville’s location, close to the battlefield, attracted tourists and a number of commercially operated observation towers looking over the battlefield were constructed in the 19th century. The community was incorporated in 1882 and changed its name to the Village of Niagara Falls South.3 3 Niagara Falls Info, Village of Drummondville, www.niagarafallsinfo.com/nigarafalls-history/niagara-falls- municipal-history Page 161 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 19 Figure 6: Royal Engineers Map of Drummondville, 1838 - Brock University Map Library 7. City of the Falls Plan The City of the Falls Project was a real estate venture developed by some of the most influential men in Upper Canada. They founded the City of the Falls Company and sought to establish a large residential city within view of the Falls. The original shareholders included Lieutenant- General John Murray, Thomas Clark, Samuel Street, James Buchanan, William Allan, John Dunn, Thomas Dixon and James Robinson. While they wanted to make money, they also wanted to preserve the Falls from vandalism and commercial enterprises. In 1832, the shareholders of the company purchased 400 acres of land from William Forsyth, a prominent businessman who had built the Pavilion Hotel at Falls View. The land was surveyed into lots and streets in 1833. The shareholders reserved choice property for themselves and divided the rest into approximately 300 – 400 lots that were offered for sale by lottery in 1834. Individuals interested in obtaining property in the area were to be issued one ticket for every share which they purchased in the City of the Falls Company, and these tickets would later be drawn to determine ownership of the lots. Page 162 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 20 Along with the proposed houses a number of community buildings and tourist attractions were planned for the area including public gardens, churches, schools, and a library. The main public building was a huge bathing complex on the south side of Murray Street. Water would be diverted from the Niagara River at Table Rock and flow by gravity in large wooden pipes to the bathing area. Unfortunately, water pressure caused the pipes to burst when the system was tested, and the bathing complex was never operational. The bath house was later used as a hotel, and as a girls' boarding school, and as a barracks for Canadian soldiers during the Rebellion of 1837. The bath house eventually burned down. Few lots in the City of the Falls Project were sold, and few houses were built. The venture was eventually abandoned. The financial projections had been based on the travelling patterns of tourists who crossed the Niagara River in ferry boats at Buffalo and then came to Niagara in stage-coaches, by way of the Portage Road. However, when the railway replaced the stage- coaches as the primary means of transportation for tourists, the number of people arriving in Niagara Falls via the Portage Road was drastically reduced, resulting in the failure of the City of the Falls Project. Although no trace of the City of the Falls Project has survived to the present, the names of the original shareholders of the project are still identified in the street names in the Falls View area.4 8. 6320 Pine Grove Avenue Analysis of the Tremaine map of 1862, and the Historical Atlas of Lincoln and Welland of 1876, shows that the property at 6320 Pine Grove Avenue is located in the area of the proposed City of the Falls plan. This land, Township Lot 146, was owned as early as 1813 by James Forsyth and was purchased from his descendent, William Forsyth, by the partners in the planned Falls development. Figure 7: Tremaine Map, 1862 - Brock University Map Library 4 https://www.niagarafallsmuseums.ca/discover-our-history-notes Page 163 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 21 Figure 8: Page Atlas, Stamford Township, 1876 - Brock University Map Library Designation By-law No.2009-191 indicates that the lands are part of Registered Plan 315 (originally Plan 17). The Plan was registered in 1913 as part of the outward growth of the Drummondville area of Niagara Falls. The original four (4) lots that constituted the subject property were vacant until the 1928 when they were purchased by Earl A. Thomas. Mr. Thomas and his wife, Doris Rosalind Thomas, owned the property for 37 years until 1965, when it was purchased by the Dunnett family who owned it for the next 27 years until 1992. Subsequently the property passed through a number of owners in relatively rapid succession. (APPENDIX I) 2. Site Analysis a) 6320 Pine Grove Avenue The property is designated under Part IV of the OHA (APPENDIX I). The subject site is located on the northeast corner of Pine Grove Avenue and Murray Street. It consists of four (4) former lots in Register Plan 315. The house faces Pine Grove Avenue with a centrally located driveway and garage access from Murray Street. The dwelling is oriented along the north/south axis of the lot and is generally sited in the centre of the property. The spacious, well-treed side yards are currently screened to the north and southeast by a high board-on-board wooden fence which is poor condition and which cuts off views to the landscape of the rear yard and the side yard space to the north and obscures the spacious open landscape that Earl A. Thomas desired for his home. Page 164 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 22 The house was designed in the Tudor Revival style by the local architectural firm of Findlay and Foulis, c. 1929. This was one of the most popular revival styles of the early 20th century and is characterised by steeply pitched gable roofs, cross gables, stone or brick walls combined with half timbering on the upper floors, entrances highlighted by a Tudor arch or simple round arch and casement windows with small, multi-paned sash. Prominent and elaborate chimneys such as the brick chimney to the right of the round-arched entrance are also characteristic of this period style. The general sense is of a picturesque composition. While the Earl A. Thomas House is a particularly elaborate and well-designed example of the Tudor Revival style, it is by no means the only residence in Niagara Falls designed in that style. There is at least one other house on the street, across from the subject property at 6315 Pine Grove Avenue, that is designed in a similar, though much simpler, style and is set on a larger lot than the surrounding properties on the street. As the designation by-law indicates, there are a number of mature specimen trees on the lot such as European Beech and Maple which create a wooded setting, particularly to the north and south of the house, though many of these trees are currently screened behind the existing wooden fence which detracts from the setting and obscures many of the landscaped features of the property. Figure 9: 6320 Pine Grove Avenue Front Facade Figure 10: 6320 Pine Grove Avenue Looking Northeast Page 165 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 23 b) Pine Grove Avenue Streetscape The streetscape on Pine Grove Avenue presents a pleasant and mature aspect that evolved in the early 20th century and has changed little over time. Houses are set relatively on attractively landscaped lawns and, while there is no boulevard, large trees dominate the street edge creating a shaded canopy in summer. Each house along the street is stylistically unique ranging in type from one storey simple cottages, two storey four-square Edwardians, one and a half storey Craftsman to modern bungalows. Though there are no identified individual properties of cultural heritage value or significance on the street with the exception of the subject property, when taken as a whole, it is a cultural landscape that requires some further evaluation. Figure 11: Pine Grove Avenue Looking North to Culp Street Figure 12: Pine Grove Avenue East Side Figure 13: Pine Grove Avenue West Side Page 166 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 24 c) Murray Street Streetscape The Murray Street streetscape has suffered from considerable unsympathetic incursions in the recent past. The street between Pine Grove Avenue and Drummond Road contains a number of one and two storey frame dwellings dating from the first half of the 20th century. However, a number of small three and four storey apartment buildings of dubious architectural character were constructed on larger lots on the north and south sides of Murray Street between Locus and Orchard Avenues. These are in the immediate vicinity of the subject property and have a negative visual impact on views and vistas to and from the 6320 Pine Grove Avenue along the street, obscuring both the house and the property when viewed from the east. Figure 18: Pine Grove Avenue West Side Figure 15: Murray Street Looking West from Pine Grove Avenue Figure 14: Murray Street Looking East from Pine Grove Avenue with Hotel and Street Termination Figure 16: View of Apartment on North Side of Murray Street from Corner of Subject Property Figure 17: Murray Street Looking West from Apartment to Subject Property Page 167 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 25 Adjacent to the Earl A. Thomas House on the east side is a long narrow lot. This lot was severed from the subject property in 2003 before the property was designated under Part IV of the OHA. It contains a large two storey frame dwelling facing Murray Street which is set forward of the side elevation of the subject house. This house is traditional in style and dominates the streetscape with little visual or stylistic connection to the Tudor Revival house. The view at the eastern termination of Murray Street is of the Fallsview casino and hotel which rises up and towers above the smaller surrounding buildings. This skyscraper overlooking Niagara Falls is also visible from Pine Grove Avenue when the house is viewed from the street as are two of the four (4) storey apartment buildings on Murray Street. The visual incursion of these structures has a negative impact on views of the property. Identification and Significance and Heritage Attributes of Property 1. 6320 Pine Grove Avenue (Earl A. Thomas House) The property at 6320 Pine Grove Avenue is significant heritage resource and is designated under Part IV of the OHA. There are no designated properties adjacent to the subject property. The nearest properties designated under Part IV, are the J. Ingles House and the Orchard/Cadham House, both located three (3) blocks north of 6320 Pine Grove Avenue on the north side of Culp Street. The closest listed property, the Mcglashan House, is located at 6395 Drummond Road. While it is not designated under Part IV of the OHA, the property is listed on the city’s Heritage Properties Database. It is considered to be of significant cultural heritage value and interest as acknowledged in the 9/06 review and the designation by-law. Figure 19: New House on Murray Street Adjacent to Earl A. Thomas House Figure 20: North Portion of Earl A. Thomas House Property - Fence and Hotel in Background Page 168 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 26 The identified heritage attributes of the 6320 Pine Grove Avenue as listed in Designation By-law No.2009-191 are:  The four lots which create a significant setting;  The Tudor Revival house which exhibiting a full range of architectural detail associated with the style;  The steeply pitched roof with prominent gables;  Original window openings with brick sills laid with headers facing outward, flat arch with soldier course;  The round-headed front door made of vertical planks with black metal hardware enclosed in a projecting brick vestibule with bellcast roof and corbelled brick at the eaves;  The red brick on the first storey;  The dark half timber and light stucco exterior cladding on the second storey;  The large dominant chimney, in a central location on the front of the house;  The exterior sunroom red brick laid in a herringbone pattern; and  Several significant mature specimen trees planted on the property. In addition the by-law associates the house with several prominent people including the architects Claude Findlay and James Foulis, who designed the house and several other significant buildings in Niagara Falls including the Refectory and Administration Building in Queen Victoria Park and Oak Hall; and Earl A. Thomas who became president of T.G. Brights Wines and president of the Canadian Wine Institute. He was also chairman of the Niagara Falls and Suburban Area Planning Board. 2. Summary As the designation by-law states, the property at 6320 Pine Grove Avenue has historical associative value for its association with Earl A. Thomas, a prominent local citizen and president of T.G. Bright’s Wines in the early 20th century and the fact that it was designed by the prominent local architectural firm of Findlay and Foulis. It has design value for its Tudor Revival style, indicative of its 1920’s construction date and the fact that its architectural details have survived intact. The setting of the house on a large corner lot containing several large specimen trees is also significant though it is spoiled by the existing fence which is a barrier to views of the landscape setting and by development along Murray Street and hotel development at the Falls. It does, however contribute to and enforce, the pleasant, mature nature of Pine Grove Avenue with its tree-lined street and stylistically varied houses, most of which were constructed in the first half of the 20th century. Page 169 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 27 Evaluation of Heritage Impacts Policy 2.6.3 of the PPS states that planning authorities shall not permit development and site alterations on adjacent lands to protected heritage property unless the proposed development and any site alteration is evaluated and that evaluation demonstrates that the heritage attributes of the protected property will be conserved. The Planning Act, the Growth Plan, 2017 and the Region of Niagara Official Plan also contain policies that encourage the conservation of significant and protected heritage properties. The Region’s Official Plan includes additional policies for requiring heritage impact assessments to evaluate the impact of new development on cultural heritage resources. The Regional Official Plan supports the identification and conservation of significant built heritage resources and significant cultural heritage landscapes and recognizes the importance of quality design. Significant built heritage resources such as those designated in districts or as individual properties should be conserved within their unique community contexts. The City of Niagara Falls Official Plan contains several relevant goals with respect to the Residential designation. These include protecting and enhancing the character of existing residential neighbourhoods and encouraging high quality design. The Official Plan also recognizes opportunities to create new housing units that blend into the lot fabric, streetscape and built form of the neighbourhood. Heritage conservation policies recognize the requirement for heritage impact assessments, landscape guidelines and urban design guidelines and the use of such planning tools as heritage overlays, site specific zoning and site plan control to ensure appropriate development and protection of heritage resources. In addition, development adjacent to and surrounding significant heritage properties such as 6320 Pine Grove Avenue must be designed to not adversely impact the character or amenities of that resource. Finally the Official Plan contains an urban design strategy that includes policies to ensure that new development is compatible with cultural heritage features and addresses height, setbacks, massing, siting and architecture of existing buildings to provide for a compatible relationship with existing development. Landscaping should also be used to mitigate the impacts of development. The Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada states that any action or process that results in a physical change to the character-defining elements of an historic place must respect and protect its heritage value and provides a number of general standards for the preservation, rehabilitation and restoration of historic places in Canada. Page 170 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 28 The Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport has provided InfoSheet #5 to assist in the analysis of heritage impacts including destruction of significant heritage attributes; unsympathetic alterations; alterations that create shadows; isolation of heritage attributes, obstruction of significant views; change in land use; new development in open spaces; land disturbances that may affect archaeological resources. The impact of the proposed severance on the 6320 Pine Grove Avenue which is designated under Part IV of the OHA is assessed in relation to these policies and documents. 1. Provincial, Regional and Local Policies With respect to the provincial, regional and local policies relating to the conservation of the heritage attributes of protected heritage property and the conservation of significant heritage properties that are designated under the OHA or may have archaeological significance; the heritage attributes of the property at 6320 Pine Grove Avenue will be impacted by the proposed severance. However, those impacts will be mitigated by locating the proposed consent on the east side of the existing lot to ensure that the important views of the house and landscaped open space from Murray Street looking north are maintained. The proposed new house is located behind the south elevation of the Earl A. Thomas House and the new lot and proposed house will not be visible from Pine Grove Avenue. The house will not encroach on the landscaped setting to the north and views from Pine Grove Avenue looking south will be conserved. The yard and garden to the south will be maintained and the view of the house, from this vantage point will not be impacted. Previous unsympathetic development along Murray Street which has already obscured important views to and from the property will not be further exacerbated. The Official Plan design strategy and heritage policies will be used to assist in developing plans, elevations and landscaping for the new lot and the proposed house. 2. Analysis of Heritage Impacts Based on Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport InfoSheet #5 1. Destruction of any, or part of any, significant heritage attributes or features. No significant heritage attributes will be destroyed. The house will remain in its original position. Development will be confined to the rear of the property behind the house. The large specimen trees which are located to the south and north of the house will be maintained and conserved. The view from Murray Street looking directly north will be conserved as will the view from Pine Grove Avenue. 2. Unsympathetic or incompatible alterations The house will not be altered. Development will be confined to the rear of the property and the new house will be designed to be compatible in scale, height and mass to ensure that it does not overshadow or compete with the existing Page 171 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 29 building. Impacts on the significant heritage landscape setting, view and vistas will be mitigated by careful placement of the new house. 3. Alterations that create shadows that alter the appearance of a heritage attribute or change the viability of a natural feature or plantings The proposed development may create some additional shadowing of the rear elevation of the house. However, there will not be additional shadows created to the north and south of the house. None of the natural features or significant plantings which are located to the north and south of the house will be altered and will remain viable. Some existing pine trees will be removed; but these are not significant specimen trees. 4. Isolation of a heritage attributes from the surrounding environment or context No significant heritage attributes will be isolated from the surrounding environment. 5. Direct or indirect obstruction of significant views or vistas within, from or of built and natural features There will not be any obstruction of existing significant views or vistas from or to Murray Street and Pine Grove Avenue. Currently the view of the rear of the house is obscured by fencing and is not visible from the street. It is already obscured from Murray Street by previous development. 6. Change in land use The land use will not change. Both the existing property and the new lot will continue to be residential with single- detached dwellings. 7. New development or site alteration to fill in formerly open spaces The proposed consent will fill in a portion of the previously open space to the rear of the house which currently acts as a small rear amenity area at 6320 Pine Grove Avenue. However the new lot has been located to conserve a portion of the rear yard to the on the north side of the property. This portion of the yard contains a number of significant specimen trees which will be conserved and will assist in maintaining open views and vistas in this area when looking south along Pine Grove Avenue.

Land disturbances that may affect an archaeological resource The city may require an archaeological survey and has official plan policies relating to that requirement and to the Niagara Falls Heritage Master Plan. If a survey is required and, if deeply buried archaeological resources are discovered during excavation, all work will stop and a licensed archaeologist will be engaged in accordance with Section 48(1) of the Ontario Heritage Act to carry out additional archaeological field work. 9. Analysis of Heritage Impacts Based on the General Standards for Preservation, Rehabilitation and Restoration, Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada 1. Conserve the heritage value of an historic place. Do not move, replace of substantially alter its intact or repairable character- defining elements. Do not move a part of an historic place if its current location is a character defining element. No character-defining elements of any significant cultural heritage resources will be altered. No buildings will be moved. 2. Conserve changes to an historic place that, over time, have become character-defining elements. There will be no changes to the character- defining elements as noted above. The identified significant specimen trees in the landscape will be conserved. 3. Conserve heritage value by adopting an approach calling for minimal intervention. Intervention will be limited to the rear of the property. This area will be severed. The size and configuration of the proposed lot, the placement of the building envelope and the proposed setbacks will conserve the significant landscape features and the character of the property when viewed from Pine Grove Avenue and Murray Street. Page 173 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 31 4. Recognize each historic place as a physical record of its time, place and use. Do not create a false sense of historical development by adding elements from other historic places or other properties, or by combining features of the same property that never existed. Not applicable. 5. Find a use for an historic place that requires minimal or no change to its character-defining elements. The use will remain the same. There will be no changes to character-defining elements of the Pine Grove Avenue streetscape. 6. Protect and, if necessary, stabilize an historic place until any subsequent intervention is undertaken. Protect and preserve archaeological resources in place. Where there is potential for disturbing archaeological resources, take mitigation measures to limit damage and loss of information. Mitigation measures will be used to protect significant built heritage resources during construction, if required. An archaeological survey will be completed if required. 7. Evaluate the existing condition of the character-defining elements to determine the appropriate intervention. Respect heritage value when undertaking an intervention. Not applicable to the house. Specimen trees will be assessed by a qualified arborist. 8. Maintain character-defining elements on an ongoing basis. Repair character-defining elements by reinforcing their materials using recognized conservation methods. Replace in kind any extensively deteriorated or missing parts where there are surviving prototypes. Not applicable. 9. Make any intervention needed to preserve character-defining elements physically and visually compatible with the historic place and identifiable on close inspection. Document any intervention. Not applicable. Page 174 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 32 10. Repair rather than replace character-defining elements. Not applicable. 11. Conserve the heritage value and character-defining elements when creating any new additions to an historic place or any related new construction. Make the new work physically and visually compatible with, subordinate to and distinguishable from the historic place. The heritage value of the defining elements of 6320 Pine Grove Avenue will be conserved. The house will not be altered and development will be confined to an area of the property that does not contain any valuable specimen trees. The designation should not be removed from the property if the consent is granted in order to ensure that there is control through the heritage permit process. When the owner submits a design for the house the MHC and staff will ensure that the house constructed on the severed portion is physically and visually compatible with the existing house and is subordinate to that house. 12. Create any new additions or related new constructions so that the essential form and integrity of an historic place will not be impaired if the new work is removed in the future. The new building will be on a separate lot and will not impact the essential form and integrity of the existing house. Page 175 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 33 Mitigation and Conservation Methods Following are the mitigation and conservation recommendations for the proposed consent. 1. An archaeological may be required for the property to ensure that any archaeological resources are properly identified and appropriate mitigation is completed. 2. The designation should remain on the entire property when the consent is granted to ensure that the construction and design of the new house is reviewed through the heritage permit process and that it is compatible in scale, mass, height and design with the existing house and grounds and is subordinate to the existing house. Designation of the new lot should only be removed after the heritage permit is granted, the house is completed and the grounds are landscaped to the satisfaction of the city. 3. An arborist should be engaged to assess the existing specimen trees on the lot and to provide for any protection for these trees that may be required during construction of the new house. 4. A landscape designer should be engaged to provide for sufficient natural landscape and screening between the new lot and the existing house and to ensure that the new house is located in a well-landscaped setting that assists in maintaining the views to the existing house and grounds. 5. The existing wooden fence which currently screens most of the lot on both the north and south sides of the house should be removed and replaced with natural screening elements. Currently it cuts off views into the lot and grounds, is in poor condition , is incompatible with the naturalistic landscape and has a negative impact on the setting of the house. 6. If significant disturbance of the area adjacent to the built heritage resource at 6320 Pine Grove Avenue is anticipated, a temporary protection plan will be developed in concert with members of the construction team, a heritage consultant, an arborist and staff to ensure that excavation and other construction work does not impact the significant built heritage and cultural landscape resources. Page 176 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 34 Implementation and Monitoring The proposed development will be assessed, reviewed and monitored by local agencies including the building department and planning staff and by the MHC. This will ensure that the significant built heritage resources and the cultural heritage landscape setting is conserved. If required a temporary protection plan will be developed in concert with the City of Niagara Falls and the MHC. Page 177 of 592 6320 Pine Grove Avenue, Niagara Falls Leah D. Wallace, MA MCIP RPP Page 35 Conclusion and Conservation Recommendations The property at 6320 Pine Grove Avenue has significant cultural heritage value and interest and is designated under Part IV of the OHA (APPENDIX I). The by-law stresses the importance of the first two owners of the property including Earl A. Thomas who purchased four (4) lots and engaged Findlay and Foulis, prominent local architects, to design the house in the Tudor Revival style that was popular in the 1920’s. The list of significant heritage attributes is primarily concentrated on the Tudor Revival exterior of the house; but also lists the several mature specimen trees, though it does not specifically identify them. Based on the analysis of the significant heritage attributes of this property and surrounding properties, the impact of the proposed severance has been assessed and mitigation is proposed to provide for appropriate and compatible development. There are no significant built heritage resources adjacent or close to the proposed development that are impacted. All impacts are related to the subject property. The proposed house will be confined to the area immediately behind the existing house when viewed from Pine Grove Avenue. Judicious design and height control will ensure that the house is not visible from Pine Grove. The new lot will not extend to the northern lot line of the existing property, leaving a 12.478m (41ft.) deep section of the rear amenity space for the existing property and conserving important specimen trees and the spacious setting. Removal of the existing fence will open up the setting and improve the views and vistas resulting in a property that more closely resembles the one the Earl A. Thomas and his architects originally conceived for the house. Views and vistas to and from Murray Street have already been adversely impacted by apartment developments and by the visibility of the high rise development adjacent to the Falls. It is not possible to mitigate these impacts which occurred before the property was designated. However, any additional impacts the proposed house may have from Murray Street will be mitigated by setting the proposed house a maximum of 16m (52.49ft.) from the street and providing for naturalized screening between the designated property and the new lot and in the front yard of the new house. A Regulation 9/06 analysis and a Statement of Significance for 6320 Pine Grove Avenue is not included in the heritage impact assessment because the property is already designated and the analysis and Statement of Significance were completed at that time.

Staff budgeted $100,000 for 2020 but have since learned that was one time funding. •The new Mohegan Sun lease with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation triggered a change in the assessment from MPAC resulting in an additional $3.2M in revenue. Staff have since learned this additional revenue must be remitted to the four School Boards. •Corrections to labour, benefits and long term interest were found when reviewing draft budget Page 204 of 592 A GREAT CITY…FOR GENERATIONS TO COME Local Area Municipality Budget Results Municipality Municipal Tax Increase Fort Erie 1.55% Grimsby Considering 16.7% (not approved) Lincoln 5.99% Niagara on the Lake 8.62% Niagara Region 5.92% Pelham 5.95% Municipality Municipal Tax Increase Port Colborne 2.10% St. Catharines 3.92% Thorold 4.95% Wainfleet 8.00% Welland (0.65%) West Lincoln 6.69%Page 205 of 592 A GREAT CITY…FOR GENERATIONS TO COME OLG Funds History OLG contribution agreement effective April 1, 2013 1.Council established priorities to use funding: a.Property Tax Relief b.Future Niagara Falls Hospital c.Debt Avoidance/Capital Asset Investments d.Economic Development Initiatives e.Policing 2.Spending allocations approved by Council and reported annually. Recently 6 year history of spending prepared for December 10, 2019 meeting, report F-2019-45 3.Presently tax subsidy $5,895,000 (8.61%)Page 206 of 592 A GREAT CITY…FOR GENERATIONS TO COME •The current 2020 budget contains the following expenses that would likely require inflationary increases annually: •Labour and benefits of $65,000,000 •Utilities of $4,000,000 •Materials of $12,700,000 •Contracted Services of $18,500,000 •These expenses total $100,200,000 •2% of $100,200,000 is $2,004,000 •In the scenario above, with no additional service levels, and also assuming no new revenue or growth the City needs to fund a $2M deficit to balance the budget just for inflationary increases. This works out to a 2.93% increase to the levy. •What if we used OLG money to offset the increase? Why Do My Taxes Go Up When the City has OLG $$Page 207 of 592 A GREAT CITY…FOR GENERATIONS TO COME Why Do My Taxes Go Up When the City has OLG $$ •City receives approximately $23,000,000 in OLG funding •$4,200,000 is used for the Casino Policing Unit and currently $5,895,000 is subsidizing the levy. •This leaves $12,905,000 available for Council’s other established priorities for OLG funding •If the City was to use some of the $12,905,000 available to continue to further subsidize the operating budget as needed to cover deficits (say $2M/year based on the last slide) this available funding would only last for about 6 years at which point the entire $23M would be included in the operating budget. •Removing the amount allocated to policing of $4,200,000 this means approximately $18,800,000 would be subsidizing the operating levy to the tune of 27.46%. Page 208 of 592 A GREAT CITY…FOR GENERATIONS TO COME Why Do My Taxes Go Up When the City has OLG $$ How would using more OLG funds to subsidize the operating budget impact the Capital budget? •Every OLG dollar that is tied up in operating is not available for spending in the capital budget •Continuing with the same scenario, the available funding for capital would be reduced by $2M per year for about 6 years until the entire $12.9M that is available is stuck in the operating budget. •This either means less capital projects the City can accomplish per year or that the City would need to find additional funding for capital in the form of debentures, grants if available, or increasing the transfer to capital which of course means increasing the operating levy. Page 209 of 592 A GREAT CITY…FOR GENERATIONS TO COME Pros/Cons of Increasing OLG Subsidy in Operating Pros: •One time tax relief to property owners Cons: •Does not address capital infrastructure deficit •Potential risk of future tax increases if funding goes away •Limits future infrastructure, economic development and hospital funding with more OLG money tied to operating •Similar precedent as other municipalities that relied on this funding in their operating budget (and were then faced with significant increases in one year)Page 210 of 592 A GREAT CITY…FOR GENERATIONS TO COME Council Direction •At February 11, 2019 Council meeting Council requested options that would bring the levy increase closer to the rate of inflation. •In 2019, Council decided on a 0% levy increase. The inflation that was missed in that year equates to approximately 2.0%. Inflation for this year is approximately 2.2%. It is staff’s position that inflation would be equivalent to 4.2%, however, staff understood Council direction received on February 11, 2020 to mean only one years worth of inflation. •Staff have prepared one recommendation for Council consideration with a net increase of 3.53%. •Staff have included further items for Council’s consideration outlining the budget impact of each including staff recommendation should Council wish to make further reductions or additions to the budget. •Staff believes Option 1 is effective to balance Council objectives and falls within an acceptable realm of two years of inflation.Page 211 of 592 A GREAT CITY…FOR GENERATIONS TO COME Option 1: Reduce Net Levy Increase to 3.53% Requires reduction of the proposed deficit of $3,247,177 to bring proposed deficit from $5,685,464 to $2,438,287. Consists of the following changes: •Increase in investment income –this is contingent on investing the $22,000,000 loan from NPEI that the City called and received in August 2019 (3% = $660,000 interest) •Transferring OLG funds to pay for year 2 of 4 of FedDev Grant ($739,240) •Restoring OLG subsidy back to 2019 levels ($5.895M) •Reducing various materials and contracted services as follows: Fire and Transit OT, IS and Legal contracted services, Risk Management and winter maintenance materials, Advertising and Strategic Initiatives, Transit hours for a Sept start to additional service (instead of May) •Keeping Boards, Fee for Service organizations at 2-2.2% increase and Grants and Honorariums at a 0% increase.

Will result in an increase of $700,000 or 1% on the levy for 2021. Budgeting for half now was an attempt to smooth the impact over two years however this $350,000 is not needed in the 2020 budget. Removal reduces levy by 0.51% •Reducing the additional transit service hours proposed for routes 203/204/205 that would start in September of 2020 would reduce levy by 0.21%. This is not recommended by staff from a customer service standpoint. •Reducing the transfer to the fleet replacement reserve and allowing the fleet rental rates to continue to subsidize the operating budget by $333,227 would reduce the levy by 0.49%, This is not recommended by staff. The fleet rental rates are not in place to subsidize the levy, they are in place to fund fleet replacement. Page 215 of 592 A GREAT CITY…FOR GENERATIONS TO COME Further Options for Council’s Consideration •Reducing or fully removing the 7 new positions requested would reduce the levy by 0.92%. This is not recommended by staff from a customer service standpoint. Staff feels all recommended positions are required due to the City’s growth. •Please note, if this line item is removed, the Manager of Building could still be approved as that position is fully recoverable from building permit fees. •Increasing the transfer to capital would increase the levy by 0.73%, thus not aiding Council in achieving the rate of inflation. Regardless this is an area that needs to be addressed in the near future. Our updated AMP to be complete in 2021 will highlight this further next year. •Currently the transfer to capital is $4,000,000 and has been for the last 7 years. •This is not enough funding to cover the City’s 2020 Asphalt Overlay Program ($520,000), 2020 Road Rehabilitation Program ($3,000,000) and 2020 Sidewalk Replacement Program ($760,000) which total $4,280,000. Page 216 of 592 A GREAT CITY…FOR GENERATIONS TO COME Further Options for Council’s Consideration Potential Strategy to Reduce Reliance of OLG Subsidy: Current subsidy = $5,895,000 •If funding disappeared in one year Council would be faced with at least an 8.61% tax increase (likely more due to other inflationary increase needs) •Consider reducing the OLG subsidy by $350,000 per year.With todays figures that is approximately a 0.50% increase in the levy. •Would take 17 years to fully remove subsidy from operating. •Any amount removed in one year from operating subsidy would be available to allocate in the capital budget in the next year.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: F-2020-10 2020 Fee for Service and Permissive Grants RECOMMENDATION 1. The Council approve the recommended categories and recommended 2020 funding levels for existing organizations the City funds as illustrated by staff on attachment 3 – “Existing Fee for Service/Grants – 2020 Recommended Categories and Amounts” for a total increase over 2019 funding levels of 1.75% or $116,468. 2. The Council continue the previous strategy of not entertaining any new grants given the financial constraints the City is facing in funding its own operating and capital expenditures, and need to reduce the infrastructure deficit. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Niagara Falls has a history of providing financial support to its community groups. Staff’s responsibility in recommending budget expenditures is to ensure that City taxpayers are funding activities that are the responsibility of the Corporation and not those of other levels of government or that should be funded by other sources. This report provides detailed background information including a 10 year history of funding on the City funding provided to Boards and Commissions, fee for service agencies, grant agencies and honorariums for our Cultural Ambassadors. Staff have provided recommendations in attachment 3 to maintain 2019 funding levels for all existing organizations that the City currently funds with the exception of:  Increases of $6,148 for Boards and Commissions the City is contractually obligated to fund  Increase of 2.2% (in line with inflation) or $100,461 for the Niagara Falls Public Library. The Library’s original request was a 5.75% increase and when asked to find reductions the revised request was proposed at 4.00%. Based on Council direction of attempting to achieve an inflationary increase, staff is recommending Page 399 of 592 2 F-2020-10 March 3, 2020 a 2.2% increase for the Library. The Library has advised staff an increase of less than 4.00% may affect services and operating hours.  Increase of 2% or $4,059 for the Boys and Girls Club (with a fee for service agreement presented on report R&C-2020-02 on tonight’s agenda, indicating funding for 2021 would remain at the 2020 level requested)  Removal of $35,000 for the Chippawa Lion’s Club fee for service provided for maintaining the park as the City will be taking on this responsibility. Staff are not recommending any new grant requests be approved given the financial constraints the City is facing in funding its own operating and capital expenditures, including the City’s requirement to reduce its infrastructure deficit. BACKGROUND The City of Niagara Falls has a history of providing financial support to its community groups. In 2009 all external organizations receiving funding were classified as permissive grants. During the 2010 budget process, with Council’s approval, staff recommended a reclassification of a number of organizations from the “grants” category to a “fee for service” category. This exercise was completed using the following definitions: Fee for Service Agencies – agencies receiving funding that are providing municipal services that would otherwise need to be provided by municipal staff. These services are considered a “core municipal responsibility” Grant Agencies – agencies receiving funding that are not considered core municipal services but are important to the community. After the completion of the 2011 budget, Council overrode staff recommendations and reclassified some grant organizations to fee for service that do not provide a core municipal service. While Council has the authority to decide which groups to fund and whether it wishes to fund fee for service agencies, grant agencies or a combination of both, it would be staff’s opinion, in the interest of transparency, that the classification of organizations into the above mentioned categories needs to remain consistent with the definitions. As a result, staff will be providing a recommendation in this report of which categories each organization falls under, based on the definitions above for Councils consideration. Fee for Service Agencies Process Staff meets with fee for service organizations annually. As part of the budget preparations, in the Fall of every year, staff send out a letter to each fee for service organization that is requesting funding (or received funding in the prior year) asking to set up a meeting to review their fee for service ask for the next year. As part of this process, each organization must provide the following information: Page 400 of 592 3 F-2020-10 March 3, 2020 a) 2020 Budget request b) September 2019 year to date results comparing budget to actual c) The most recent financial statements of the organization d) A brief description of the services provided to the City covered by the fee e) Any other documents that they believe would be useful including annual reports and key statistics Grant Agencies Process Grant agencies must fill out the City’s grant application (attachment 1) which requests information about the organization, details about the grant request, board members, the most recent financial statements and current budget. It is staff’s understanding this application has not been updated, nor made electronic as previous direction to staff was not to entertain any new grants. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Attachment 2 – “Fee for Service/Grants – Historical Amounts of Municipal Funding” contains a listing (alphabetically) of fee for service and grant funding from 2009-2019 with a column indicating the organizations request for 2020. Council will note there are several years in a row, if not the entire decade where staff and Council have remained firm and kept funding levels consistent at 2010 levels. Board and Commissions (contractual obligation) Consistent with the explanation contained in report F-2011-14 from April 4, 2011, the following organizations have an existing contractual agreement that determines funding assistance and should be categorized as such: 1. Niagara Falls Illumination Board – To finance, maintain and operate the illumination system for Niagara Falls 2. Niagara District Airport Commission – Contractual agreement with City of St. Catharines, Niagara on the Lake and the Region to fund municipal airport. Niagara Falls responsible for approximately 36% Fee for Service Agencies Consistent with report F-2011-14 from April 4, 2011, staff feel the following organizations fall under the definition of Fee for Service Agency and recommend these organizations remain in that category: 1. Animal Control Services – Animal control and sheltering services, offering protection & education to ensure safety needs to residents Page 401 of 592 4 F-2020-10 March 3, 2020 2. Boys & Girls Club – Provide children and youth programming not provided by City recreational staff 3. Firemen’s Park – To maintain the park and provide access to use 4. Niagara Falls Art Gallery – Provide children and youth programming not provided by City and recreational staff 5. Niagara Falls Concert Band – Provides services for musical events on a requested basis at City events 6. Niagara Falls Horticultural Society – Purchases and plants flowers on City property with the funding assistance provided by the City 7. St. John’s Ambulance, Chair-A-Van – Provides para-transit services curb-to- curb within the municipal boundaries of the City of Niagara Falls for registered users with physical limitations. Grant Agencies In report F-2012-06 from February 14, 2012 it was identified that Council reclassified Project Share, Women’s Place and YWCA from grant agency to fee for service agency. It is staff’s position that the services performed by these organizations are not core municipal services as the fee for service definition provides but rather these organizations fit into the definition of a grant agency which are organizations that do not provide a core municipal service but are important to the community. As such staff recommends that those organizations be classified as grants along with St. John Ambulance – Water Patrol (previously classified as fee for service) and the long standing $50,000 grant to GNGH Hospital. While the municipality recognizes that all of the community groups requesting grants from the City provide excellent services in the community, it must be noted that the services provided are not within the City’s core service responsibility. Staff’s responsibility in recommending budget expenditures is to ensure that City taxpayers are funding activities that are the responsibility of the Corporation and not those of other levels of government or that should be funded by other sources. Staff recognize the achievements that these organizations make to the community, and the previous desire of Council to continue to fund them. As a result staff are not recommending reductions to current funding levels, however staff are not supporting any further increases and recommending funding levels remain consistent. Attachment 3 – “Existing Fee for Service/Grants – 2020 Recommended Categories and Amounts” contains a listing of the existing boards, fee for service, grant and honorariums that the City pays to various organizations along with the organizations request for the 2020 year and staff’s recommendation for the 2020 year. Page 402 of 592 5 F-2020-10 March 3, 2020 Page 403 of 592 6 F-2020-10 March 3, 2020 To summarize attachment 3: Boards  Contractual boards are requesting minor increases totalling $6,148.  The Library board originally requested a 5.75% increase or $262,743 and has since revised their request to a 4.00% increase reducing the impact by $80,086 to $182,657. Based on Council direction of attempting to achieve an inflationary increase, staff is recommending a 2.2% increase for the Library which reduces their original request by $162,282. The Library has advised staff an increase of less than 4.00% may affect services and operating hours. Council will note in 2019 Council requested a 0% increase to the City, while allowing the Library a 5.2% increase.  Total impact of 2020 recommendations for Boards and Commissions is an increase of $106,609 or 2.23% which largely represents the Library. Fee for Service  Animal Control Services are performed by Niagara SPCA and Humane Society who has signed a 4 year agreement with the City as was outlined and approved in report PBD-2019-15, March 19, 2019. The term of the agreement is January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2022 with agreed upon annual fees as follows, 2019 - $527,000, 2020 - $527,000, 2021 - $527,000 + CPI increase, 2022 – amount for 2021 + CPI increase  Boys & Girls Club has a draft fee for service agreement on the agenda tonight, report R&C-2020-02, requesting Council approve a two year (2020-2021) fee for service agreement with the Boys & Girls Club in the amount of $207,009 for both 2020 and 2021 funding which is an increase of 2% over the 2019 funding amount.  The City will be taking over maintenance of Chippawa Lion’s park thus negating the need for the $35,000 fee for service previously paid to the Chippawa Lion’s in exchange for park maintenance.  Firemen’s Park, Niagara Falls Concert Band and Niagara Falls Horticultural Society requests and recommendation for funding remain the same at 2019 levels.  St. John’s Ambulance, Chair-A-Van (CAV) appears to be a 6.80% increase however in 2019 Chair-A-Van retained revenue of approximately $40,000 from fares which helped offset the amount of money the City contributed to the fee for service arrangement. Specifically, in 2019 CAV was paid $599,586 as a fee for service and retained $40,000 in fare revenue, thus making the total $640,586. In 2020, that fare revenue will be retained by the City. As a result, the cash fares revenue budget for CAV has increased from $15,000 to $61,000 on the City’s Page 404 of 592 7 F-2020-10 March 3, 2020 budget in responsibility centre 333000. This revenue increase offsets the impact of the increase in fee for service funding line item from $599,586 to $640,386. Total impact of 2020 recommendations for fee for service is an increase of $9,859 or 0.70% Grants  GNGH Hospital, Women’s Place and St. John’s Ambulance water patrol have not requested increases for 2020.  Project Share requested an increase of 16% or $47,744 and YWCA has requested an increase of 3% of $1,540. Staff are recommending continuing with previous Council strategy and past staff direction to hold the line on grants and continue funding at the 2010 levels. Honorariums  Staff had originally requested an increase of $500 each from $1,500 to $2,000 for the honorariums paid for the Town Crier and City Historian, however in light of the potential budget increase the City is facing staff are recommending honorariums remain at the 2019 levels of $1,500 each. NEW Fee for Service/Grant Requests This year, the City has been faced with an abundance of new grant requests for various organizations and purposes as outlined below:  Niagara Falls Badminton Club has requested a $35,000 fee for service for operating expenses and $19,000 for capital work to their property for a total of $54,000. Previous Councils changed the status of Niagara Falls Badminton Club and Niagara Falls Lawn Bowling from fee for service to grant in 2012 and agreed to phase out funding over a three period, due to funding not being a core municipal responsibility. Previous amounts provided to both Clubs can be found on attachment 2. To date, the City has not received a complete funding application and awaits the 2020 budget and most recent financial statements available. As a result staff are not in a position to provide a recommendation on the request for fee for service at this time. In terms of the grant request for capital work to be done on private property, staff cannot support this request as it does not fall in line with ensuring that City taxpayers are funding activities that are the responsibility of the Corporation and not those of other levels of government or that should be funded by other sources.  Niagara Falls Community Cats has requested operating funding of $7,500 that they wish to be annual funding and has submitted a complete grant application. Page 405 of 592 8 F-2020-10 March 3, 2020 While they have requested a grant, animal control would likely fall under the fee for service category however, this group in particular provides one specific service, not provided by Niagara SPCA and Humane Society, which is the spaying and neutering of homeless cats in Niagara in an effort to control the cat population. This group presented to Council on February 11, 2020. Council has supported this group in the past by way of motion in the amount of $5,000 in 2018 from taxpayer money, $3,750 in 2017 by way of Sleep Cheap donation and $5,000 in 2017 by way of Niagara Falls Hydro Holding Corporation. Given the City’s current budget position and future operating and capital funding needs staff are not recommending entertaining any new grant requests.  Niagara Falls Disc Golf Club has requested a grant of either, $4,520 (Basic), $12,350 (Standard), or $23,400 (Professional) for the installation of 10 disc golf holes (remaining 9 holes, plus one practice hole) to compliment the first 9 holes that were purchased and installed through fundraising efforts of the Niagara Falls Disc Golf Club. Report MW-2020-05 on tonight’s agenda outlines this request in more detail with a recommendation that Council approve staff providing in-kind support of labour and equipment (only) by Municipal Works for the drilling, pouring and placing of disc golf baskets at Firemen’s Park, contingent on the Niagara Falls Disc Golf Club fundraising the monies for the supply of baskets and all other amenities, consistent with the Clubs strategy regarding the installation of the first set of 10 holes.  Niagara Falls Lions Club has requested a grant to cover leasehold improvements in the amount of $56,858.21, reconstruction of the City parking lot (approximately $170,000) and installation of a new accessible ramp to the front doors. Report MW- 2020-04 on tonight’s agenda outlines this request in more detail with a recommendation that Council refer the leasehold improvements and parking lot request to the 2021 capital budget deliberations and that Council direct staff to perform exterior sidewalk accessibility improvements at the Niagara Falls Lions Club in 2020 as part of the annual concrete/asphalt restoration program.  Niagara Falls Art Gallery is requesting financial assistance in the form of a grant to help pave their driveway which is need of repair. The amount for this repair is unknown at this time. Consistent with the recommendations above for capital work on private property staff cannot support this request as it does not fall in line with ensuring that City taxpayers are funding activities that are the responsibility of the Corporation and not those of other levels of government or that should be funded by other sources. Page 406 of 592 9 F-2020-10 March 3, 2020  Poet Laureate – Report R&C-2020-03 on tonight’s agenda is recommending that the City of Niagara Falls expands the Cultural Ambassadors positions to include a Poet Laureate as recommended by the Culture Committee for an honorarium of $1,500, consistent with the amounts paid to the Town Crier and City Historian. Due to budget constraints and consistent with the recommendation not to entertain new grant requests, staff is not recommending new Cultural Ambassador positions at this time. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Total impact of 2020 recommendations for Boards and Commissions is an increase of $106,609 or 2.23% which largely represents the Library. Total impact of 2020 recommendations for fee for service is an increase of $9,859 or 0.70% Total impact of 2020 recommendations for grants and honorariums is $0 or 0%. Overall total impact of 2020 recommendations for funding external organizations is an increase of $116,468 or 1.75% from $6,643,547 to $6,760,015 of which the Library represents $100,461.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2020-14 Housing Directions Study: Council Authorization RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Council authorize the development of a Housing Directions Study to help provide policy and strategic guidance to future ownership, rental and affordable housing initiatives in the City. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The current stock of housing in the City is not able to meet the need of residents. A Housing Directions Study will provide a measured assessment of present and future unmet housing demand, with an emphasis regarding the entire housing continuum. The Study will offer short, medium and long-term recommendations with respect to housing strategy, policy changes and possible incentives that will help provide a more diverse range and mix of housing options and densities to meet the current and future de mand. BACKGROUND The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s authorization of the undertaking of a Housing Directions Study to help guide future housing initiatives in the City. The provision of housing is a Provincial interest and the Province provides strategic policy direction on housing to municipalities through the 2019 Provincial Policy Statement and the 2019 Provincial Growth Plan. As part of the two-tier governance structure, Niagara Region is the Service Manager when it comes to the provision of social and affordable housing. Niagara Region also through its Official Plan contains housing policies that encourage diversity in housing type, size and tenure to meet projected demographic and market requirements of current and future residents. The City’s future housing work to be identified in the Housing Directions Study must align with Provincial and Regional priorities. The Region is currently undertaking a Regional housing strategy as part of a new Official Plan. The Region’s strategy must am ong other things: identify a diverse range and mix of housing options to meet the needs of current and future residents; establish targets for affordable ownership and rental housing and identify land use planning tools to support these measures and align with the Region’s 10 Year Housing and Homelessness Action Plan (HHAP) which was approved by Regional Council in 2013 and came into effect on January 1, 2014. As part of the Region’s work, a comprehensive database has been created to estimate the current an d future demand for ownership, rental and affordable housing within Niagara Region. Page 421 of 592 2 PBD-2020-14 March 3, 2020 Though the City of Niagara Falls does not provide community services, administer shelter services or act as a housing provider, it is the City’s responsibility to ensure that official plan policies and appropriate planning tools are in place to support ownership, rental and affordable housing opportunities. As the private sector provides the majority of housing in the city, the City can both regulate the type of housing that is built through its Official Plan and the provision of financial incentives for the development of priority housing types. ANALYSIS The City of Niagara Falls is a growing municipality with a current population of 90,390 people (2016 Census) and an anticipated 2041 population of 125,710 people (Niagara 2041 growth forecast). A significant component of the City’s existing housing stock is single detached homes suitable for families; however, there is an increasingly demonstrated need for a more diverse range and mix of housing options and densities to meet the needs of all current and future residents. Understanding the current and future demographic profile of the City, assessing and quantifying the current and future housing need and comprehending how these two factors may evolve overtime as the City grows are the first concrete steps to developing a more diverse housing stock that will accommodate the broad needs of an increasingly diverse community. The City’s housing strategy must also address how we use our Greenfield lands and utilize intensification opportunities to meet long-term housing requirements. Utilizing the Region’s housing work as a launching point, the City will be undertaking a Housing Directions Study to provide a detailed assessment of the present and future unmet housing demand in Niagara Falls, with an emphasis on the entire housin g continuum. (see Figure 1 below) The Study will be an integrated and strategic approach to ensuring that there is a sufficient broad array of housing options available to meet the full spectrum of needs found in the community. The results of this Study will help Council, stakeholders and community members (including the development community) develop a comprehensive understanding of the housing market and key housing issues. This understanding will provide Council and City staff a solid basis from which to formulate strategy, policy decisions and community-specific housing priorities. It is intended that the Study will produce short, medium and long term recommendations with respect to Official Plan policies that will help implement the Study’s findings. Further, it is anticipated the Study will recommend how the City can incentivize the creation of additional affordable/rental housing through amended or new financial incentive programs. Figure 1: Housing Continuum Page 422 of 592 3 PBD-2020-14 March 3, 2020 Consultation Consultation with stakeholders will be important throughout the development of the Housing Directions Study. To help solicit feedback, it is proposed that the Study will be guided by a Technical Advisory Committee. The Technical Advisory Committee will be composed of City and Regional staff, other technical experts, key community representatives and representatives from the City’s Homelessness Committee. Next Steps Upon Council’s endorsement of this report, staff will initiate the procurement process. It is anticipated that the Study will be able to commence at the beginning of the second quarter of the year. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The Housing Directions Study will be funded through the 2020 Council approved Planning operating budget. There are no direct financial implications arising from this report. The recommendations of the Study may have an impact on future annual operating and capital budgets. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The development of a Housing Directions Study is consistent with the City’s Strategic priorities of Diverse and Affordable Housing. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS  None.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2020-02 Gunning and Mears Sewage Pumping Station Upgrades Construction Services & Tender Award - Contract No. 2020-291-12 RECOMMENDATIONS 1. That Staff be authorized to amend the purchase order allowing for the direct- appointment of contract administration and inspection services to GM BluePlan Engineering Limited for the revised amount of $165,427.90. 2. That the contract be awarded to the lone bidder Baseline Construction Inc. at the amended bid price of $714,000. 3. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary contract documents. 4. That the additional costs of $399,700 associated with the completion of this project be approved to be spent now, with funding to be determined during the 2021 capital budget deliberations. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Gunning and Mears Sanitary Pumping Station was constructed to reduce the risk of sanitary sewer surcharge related basement flooding during significant storm events. GM BluePlan Engineering Limited (GMBP) was retained by the City of Niagara Falls (City) to review the current operation of the station and design upgrades. The original construction cost estimate of $424,000 was approved in the 2019 Capital Budget. Additional upgrades were identified and added to the scope of work since the approval of the 2019 Capital Budget. The augmented project scope increased the number of working days from 40 to 130. The significant extension of the contract period and effort to amend the tender documents increased the current purchase order with GMBP from $92,627.90 to $165,427.90. Staff recommend that the purchase order be amended to reflect the additional scope of work. In addition to the increased Consultant fees, the lone bid received from Baseline Construction Inc. (Waterloo, Ontario) in the amount of $963,000, excluding HST, exceeds the original construction cost estimate of $424,000. After reviewing and discussing the Page 424 of 592 2 MW-2020-02 March 3, 2020 submitted bid with both the Consultant and the Bidder, Staff recommend that the tender bid price be amended to $714,000, such that the CSP coating, which was identified as non-critical upgrade, is removed from the contract and the contract be awarded to Baseline Construction Inc. Staff recommends that the additional costs of $399,700 associated with the completion of this project be approved to be spent now, with funding to be determined during the 2021 capital budget deliberations. BACKGROUND The Gunning and Mears Sanitary Pumping Station was originally constructed to reduce the risk of sanitary sewer surcharge related basement flooding during significant storm events by pumping to offline storage pipes located in an adjacent easement. Overflows from the existing 375mm sanitary sewer drain to the pumping station’s wet well and is pumped to four (4) 1800mm diameter CSP storage pipes. The sewage is slowly released via gravity as the stress on the system is relieved. The station was built circa 1990 and is owned and operated by the City of Niagara Falls (City). A location map has been included as Attachment 1. GM BluePlan Engineering Limited (GMBP) was retained by the City of Niagara Falls in 2017 to review the current operation of the Gunning and Mears Sanitary Pumping Station and design upgrades. The scope of this work included a condition assessment, preliminary, detailed design, and construction services. A design brief was provided to the City with an initial construction cost estimate of $424,000. In 2019, $424,000 was approved in the Capital Budget. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Since the original completion of GMBP’s design brief, a number of additional upgrades were identified and added to the scope of work. The augmented project scope, revised from the original design brief, has been identified by GMBP in the Technical Memo entitled, “Tender Review and Recommendations”. The memo has been included as Attachment 2. As a result of the revised scope of work, the construction timeline has increased from the original estimate of 40 working days to 130 working days. The significant extension of the contract time, which will require additional contract administration and inspection services, along with the additional effort to amend the tender drawings and specifications to include the additional scope of work, will increase the original purchase order from $92,627.90 to $165,427.90. Amendment of the purchase order will exceed the $100,000 limit under the City’s Consultant Selection Policy. Staff recommend approval of the purchase order amendment to ensure that inspection of the station’s construction is completed by experienced, project knowledgeable professionals in their respective fields. Page 425 of 592 3 MW-2020-02 March 3, 2020 GMBP’s construction services proposal (for the additional scope of work) has been included as Attachment 3. The project tender documents were purchased by three (3) contractors and the one (1) bid submitted was opened by the City Clerk, William Matson and the Project Manager, Livia McEachern, on Tuesday, February 11, 2020. The lone bid was received from Baseline Construction Inc. located out of Waterloo, Ontario, in the amount of $963,000, excluding HST. The bid exceeds the original construction cost estimate of $424,000. In their technical memo, GMBP also reviewed the received tender bid prices against the augmented scope of work and original construction cost estimate. The memo identified three items with opportunity for cost savings. City Staff contacted the bidder to negotiate potential contract savings. Please see the negotiation and discussion summary, as well as final recommendations, which have been provided in the table below. Item Potential Savings GMBP Recommendation Staff Recommendation Summary of Work $36,873 Remove bypass pumping. City would assume responsibility for manually pumping sewage to the storage tanks during an event. Requires operations Staff to be on alert for the 130 working days. Keep the bypass pumping in the contract and limit the burden on operations Staff; ensuring that the responsibility to react to an event remains with the Contractor. CSP Coatings $249,000 Remove the header pipe coating. Work is not critical to the immediate function of the station. Complete at a later date as part of a trenchless contract or as a standalone project. Remove the pipe coating item and review possible inclusion in a future sewer lining contract. Manual Transfer Switch $0 Item was identified for discussion/negotiation with the Contractor. Bid was $16,000 and original estimate was $1,200. Contractor responded that the bid price is competitive and consistent with the tender specifications. Staff recommend keeping the item in the contract. The lone bidder, Baseline Construction Inc., has successfully completed many relevant projects within the Niagara Region and are capable of undertaking and completing this project. Staff recommend that the contract be awarded to Baseline Construction Inc. at an amended tender bid price of $714,000, excluding HST ($963,000, the bid price - $249,000, CSP coatings). Page 426 of 592 4 MW-2020-02 March 3, 2020 FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Funding for the Gunning and Mears Sanitary Pumping Station Upgrades was originally approved in the 2019 Capital Budget, while funding for contract administration and inspection services was originally approved in the 2013 Capital Budget, with additional funding approved in the 2016 Capital Budget. Both the lone, amended tender bid price and the expected increase in fees for GMBP exceed the budget for completion of the upgrades and contract administration and inspection services, respectively. Staff recommends that the additional costs of $399,700 associated with the completion of this project be approved to be spent now, with funding to be determined during the 2021 capital budget deliberations. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Implementation of this project meets the intent of Council’s Strategic Priorities by providing strong and resilient infrastructure in a healthy and safe livable community through accountable government practices.

UNIT C31, STONEY CREEK, ON L8E 5R9 905 -643 -6688 WWW.G MBLUEPLAN.CA Date: 2/14/2020 File: 617028 To: Livia McEachern From: Danielle Anders, David Watt Project: Gunning and Mears Pump Station Subject: Tender Review and Recommendations TECHNICAL MEMO The purpose of this tech memo is to explore options with respect to reducing costs for the remediation of the Gunning and Mears Sanitary Sewer Storage Facility to a level consistent with current estimates and budget. The following sections outline the history of this facility and options for reducing the cost of the overall project. Introduction and Background The Gunning and Mears Sanitary Sewer Storage Facility was constructed to reduce the risk of sanitary sewer surcharge related basement flooding during storm events. This is achieved by reducing the peak hydraulic grade line in the adjacent sanitary sewer by providing offline pumped and gravity out storage. The pumping station is part of a storage system in which overflows from an existing 375 mm sanitary sewer drains to the pumping station wet well and is pumped to four 1800 mm diameter CSP storage pipes. The station was built in approximately 1992 and is owned and operated by the City of Niagara Falls. Figure 1 provides a location plan for the station. Figure 1: Gunning and Mears Pump Station Location Existing Station Overview The station consists of a single-cell 3000 x 2400 precast wet well with two Flygt submersible pumps and an outdoor control panel. A single hatched opening provides access to the wet well. The hatch is located in the sidewalk on the north side of Gunning Drive. Overflow from the 375 mm sanitary sewer flows to a 1350 mm diameter in-line storage pipe, which is then directed to the pumping station wet well via a 750 mm concrete sewer. Page 429 of 592 Memo To: Livia McEachern, P.Eng GMBP Project: 617028 February 14, 2020 Page 2 of 6 GUELPH | OWEN SOUND | LISTOWEL | KITCHEN ER | LONDON | HAMILTON | GTA The pump station forcemain consists of 79 meters of 200 mm DR 18 PVC which discharges to a maintenance hole with a looped pipe configuration and a check valve. Pump station discharge goes through the looped configuration and then flows by gravity to the four 1800 mm diameter CSP storage pipes which are in an easement off Mears Crescent. The storage pipes range in length from 94 meters to 104 meters and each has an access maintenance hole at both ends. A check valve forces flow through the looped piping thereby establishing the static head against which the pumps must operate. The forcemain also serves as a drain line. The forcemain discharges through a tee connection located approximately 17 meters west of the pumping station. The forcemain discharges through the north end of this tee and continues to the above-mentioned storage tanks. Piping from the south end of this tee extends through a valve chamber and continues to the 1350 mm diameter storage pipe. This valve chamber contains a plug valve which was once automated but is now operated manually. This valve remains closed when the pumps are in operation and the CSP storage tanks are filling. System Hydraulics Recent modelling indicates that this facility is effective in depressing the peak HGL in adjacent areas however is less effective at addressing sewer surcharge related flooding in areas remote to the system which have chronic flooding i.e. Sarah Street, Usher and Chipman Crescent. This is due to operational and structural conditions in the 375mm discharge sewer which impacts conveyance capacity to the facility. The City of Niagara Falls Operations group regularly monitors the hydraulics from Gunning Drive up Cattell Drive during wet weather. This area has historically been prone to basement flooding and the City has emergency pumped to lower the HGL in this area during critical storm events. As part of standard operating procedures in Chippawa, the City monitors the Gunning and Mears station and in large events receives advance notice of the need for bypass pumping. GMBP has assisted in the past to help operations improve their emergency response process based on the use of monitors placed in strategic locations from the east limit of Cattell Drive to the Gunning and Mears facility. An HGL analysis was completed for a previous project to help determine an alarm level that would provide sufficient time between the warning alarm and the high-level alarm. Figure 3 presents a typical system HGL profile the Gunning and Mears facility to Chipman Crescent. The system HGL was plotted using the depth data from the flow monitors. The following colours correspond to differing levels of HGL within the provided profile shown on the following page:  Green line: dry weather flow  Blue line: highest HGL  Dotted Red line: HGL corresponding to ‘Warning Alarm – Alarm 3  Solid Red line: HGL corresponding to ‘High Alarm – Alarm 4 Manhole numbers shown correspond to the City’s manhole numbering nomenclature. Page 430 of 592 Memo To: Livia McEachern, P.Eng GMBP Project: 617028 February 14, 2020 Page 3 of 6 GUELPH | OWEN SOUND | LISTOWEL | KITCHENER | LONDON | HAMILTON | GTA The following summarizes the four alarm elevation levels, measured by in telemetered system area velocity monitors, that GMBP has established for notification purposes:  Alarm 1 –HGL 170.60 m, flow depth 1.03 m o Turn duty pump ON at Gunning and Mears  Alarm 2 –HGL 170.80 m, flow depth 1.23 m o Turn lag pump ON at Gunning and Mears  Alarm 3 –HGL 171.10 flow depth of 1.53 m, o Send City staff to SMH_05137 to set up pump  Alarm 4 – HGL @ Cattell/Riverview (SMH_05136) 172.0 m, flow depth of 1.14 m o HIGH ALARM: start bypass pumping at SMH_05137 The above alarms/monitors have been operational since late 2019. These monitors provide City operations staff with ample lead time to operationalize their bypass pumping activities at both the Gunning and Mears facility and the Cattel Drive location downstream of the Riverview tank. It should be noted that the operation, pump on, of the current Gunning and Mears facility is currently actuated via a float located in the tank on Gunning Drive. Shut off of the pumping system and draining of the tank is via manual intervention by City operations staff. This is due to the fact that the current panel control system is for the most part inoperative due to deterioration and technological obsolescence and the subsequent lack of replacement parts. Proposed Pump Station Upgrades GMBP performed an assessment of the Gunning and Mears facility in June of 2019. The site visit allowed for the assessment of the condition of the station and the work required to bring it into conformance with current Page 431 of 592 Memo To: Livia McEachern, P.Eng GMBP Project: 617028 February 14, 2020 Page 4 of 6 GUELPH | OWEN SOUND | LISTOWEL | KITCHENER | LONDON | HAMILTON | GTA code and safety requirements as well as defining the work required for the facility to operate reliably unattended via a modern control system. The following is a summary of the scope for the project based the findings of the assessment: - Replace main disconnect, control panel and upgrade to meet current electrical code requirements - Replace pump control panel with a new control panel utilizing an ultrasonic level transmitter with float backup to boost station reliability, along with a new alarm dialer. - Provide means for operators to test and confirm functionality of equipment at the local control panel - Replace float level instruments in wet well and manholes - Replace check valves and isolation valves on each pump discharge lateral in wet well and replace remote forcemain discharge check valve. - Modify wet well venting to create separation from control panel. - Replace manhole risers, frame and covers where necessary to reduce inflow. - Replace manual drain valve with a motorized valve and add limit switch for alarming (if valve remains open for more than 24 hours, send out notification to operations staff) - Ideally, wet well top cap should be replaced with a new concrete lid and separate access hatches for each pump and a third hatch for personnel entry. Figure 2: System Upgrades Through discussion with City staff additional items were added to the scope prior to tendering, these include: 1. Removal of MJ fitting from valve chamber and replacement with Victaulic coupling. 2. In Addendum 2, requesting that bidders allow for provision of parts and equipment such that motorized plug valve can also be operated manually.

Removal, instead of replacement, of the float switch in MH H and provision of design such that motorized plug valve is operated by the Miltronics Multi-Ranger and a timer relay. 4. Replacement of high-level float switch in Storage Pipe No. 4. 5. Replacement of conduit and wiring and junction box to float switch in Storage Pipe No. 4 as a provisional item. 6. Replacement of conduit and cable as well as transformer from NPEI hydro pole located east of pump station. Transformer replaced by NPEI, but Eramosa needed to coordinate this. 7. The project scope was revised to include exposing and waterproofing of storage pipe riser as a provisional item and if badly deteriorated, replacement of a storage pipe riser, also as a provisional item. 8. Replacement of wet well piping wall piece and transition coupling as a provisional item. 9. Replacement of conduit and wiring to motorized plug valve as a provisional item. 10. Provision for standby power 11. Provision for bypass pumping The above constitutes the significant components of the recently released tender. Cost and Item Review Recommendations GMBP has reviewed the tender bid provided by Baseline Contractors and compared it to the cost estimate. The following items highlighted in red deserve further discussion with the contractor. Item Description GMBP Estimate Baseline Quote General Requirements $20,000 $45,000 Summary of Work $10,000 $48,000 Excavation and Fill $30,000 $52,000 Grout and Misc. Work $5000 $11,000 Access Hatches $4100 $17,000 CSP Coatings $70,000 $249,000 Control Panels $15,000 $34,000 Manual Transfer Switch $1,200 $16,000 $155,300.00 $472,000.00 Our recommendations based on our review of the tender are as follows:  Removal of the requirement for CSP coating of header pipe for a cost savings of $249,000. This work could be combined with the City’s larger trenchless remediation contract for economies of scale and is independent of the core needs of the station. The City and GMBP should discuss the plans for this facility and the overall expectation of its long-term viability. The introduction of the new South Niagara Falls WWTP may provide an opportunity to decommission this facility and the Welland River Syphon via the construction of a new gravity sewer to redirect upstream flows away from this facility.  Discussion with the contractor on what item emergency bypass pumping is covered under their pricing as submitted. In discussions with City operations staff, the Gunning and Mears facility operated approximately 15 times in the 2019 calendar year. This frequency of bypass should be discussed with the contractor and the fact that the current standard operating procedures in the area are dependent upon the flow meter connectivity and operation being preserved throughout construction.  Discussions with staff have revealed that the pump actuation level, pump on floats, have not been calibrated in recent history. This should be confirmed via existing flow data prior to pump control levels being established for the new facility to prevent premature or latent pumping. Page 433 of 592 Memo To: Livia McEachern, P.Eng GMBP Project: 617028 February 14, 2020 Page 6 of 6 GUELPH | OWEN SOUND | LISTOWEL | KITCHEN ER | LONDON | HAMILTON | GTA  City operations staff have informed GMBP that hey have three (3) six (6) inch diesel pumps available for bypass pumping. These pumps are rated, optimum head and “as new”, at approximately 90,000 USGPH or approximately 90 l/s. It is reasonable to assume that one of these pumps will be required at the Cattell Drive location in the event of widespread system surcharge. It should be noted that no bypass pumping at the Cattell Drive location occurred in 2019 after adjustment of pump on levels that maximized the use of the Riverview tanks for depression of the local peak HGL in the Sarah, Usher and Chipman areas.  The City could opt to remove the requirement for bypass pumping in the tender to decrease cost if prohibitive provided that the following requirements are met: o Continued quarterly cleaning of the main sewer from the East limit of Cattel Drive to the Welland River Syphon to maximize both conveyance and in system storage capacity. o Development of a new standard operating procedure for the use of a one or two 6 inch bypass pump at the Gunning and Mears facility during the 130 construction period during inclement weather. The existing station, in optimum as new condition, is designed to convey approximately 80 to 85 l/s with two pumps running. Bypass pumps, whether City or Contractor supplied, should be checked to ensure that this capacity can be matched with the proposed suction and discharge locations. Suction would be located at or near the existing in line storage tank located on Gunning Drive with the discharge being to the existing tanks located on the easement to the North. This would require close coordination with the contractor to ensure that the header pipe, valving and storage tanks are kept in operable condition during construction. o Continuation of the standard operating procedure for Cattell Drive bypass pumping location. Risk Management GMBP believes that local and remote basement flooding risk can be mitigated via existing and proposed City bypass pumping relief activities. Risk mitigation in the context of the approximately 130 working days specified for the remediation of the Ginning and Mears facility can be summarized by the product of the likelihood of failure and consequence of failure. Risk of failure in the context of this facility is medium in that the its historical operation has been relatively low, 12 to 15 times per year, and only in times of predictable times of inclement weather for which City operations staff have been adequately equipped to operate the pump off and draining activities. It is reasonable to assume that the facility may be required from 4 to 8 times during the construction period. This frequency being wholly dependent upon precipitation during this period. Consequence of failure appears to be limited to historical localized flooding in the vicinity of the facility, Mears Crescent, and not that in the upper reaches of the sanitary catchment. Flooding in this reach should be effectively addressed by the new Riverview Tank and existing bypass pumping activities on Cattell Drive for which automated notification is already in place. GMBP believes that the risk with respect to basement flooding during construction can be effectively mitigated via altered and existing pumping activities via the in-system alarms in place. A separate discussion with respect to the overall lifespan of this facility is also warranted given the ongoing costs and risk associated with this facility.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2020-03 Kitchener Street Sewer Separation Construction Services RECOMMENDATIONS 1. That Staff be authorized to direct-appoint construction services to Associated Engineering (Ont.) Ltd. in the amount of $225,120. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Associated Engineering (Ont.) Ltd. (AE) was retained to complete the design of the Kitchener Street Sewer Separation project in 2013, as well as the subsequent design revision in 2019. The design includes the construction of a storm sewer between Portage Road and Stanley Avenue that will alleviate flooding concerns on Prospect Street. Construction funding was approved in the 2020 Capital Budget. The construction budget included funding for consultant construction services. Consultant Inspection is recommended due to the construction complexities as well as the unique stakeholder needs. The 2020 Capital Budget request for the Kitchener Street Sewer Separation project included an allowance of $200,000 for Consultant Inspection. The quotation for construction services provided by AE totals $225,120, without HST; however, there is sufficient approved budget available for this project to cover the shortfall. Staff is recommending that Council provide approval to direct-appoint construction services to AE. BACKGROUND The Kitchener Street Sewer Separation project was approved for design funding in 2013 to construct a storm sewer on Kitchener Street between Portage Road and Stanley Avenue that will eventually allow for the extension of the sewer along Prospect Street and alleviate flooding concerns. Associated Engineering (Ont.) Ltd. (AE) was retained to complete the design which included the installation of a new trunk storm sewer, Page 437 of 592 2 MW-2020-03 March 3, 2020 replacement of the combined sewer with a new dedicated sanitary sewer, and various road allowance improvements. A location map has been included as Attachment 1. In 2017, the new South Niagara Hospital site was officially confirmed and, as a result of future possibilities with the existing hospital site, staff was directed to pare down the existing design on Kitchener Street and limit the scope of work dedicated to improving the boulevard adjacent the existing Greater Niagara General Hospital site. Additional funds were approved in the 2019 Capital Budget to complete the revision, and enhanced sidewalk and street parking upgrades were consequently removed from the design. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Council approved construction funding for the project in the 2020 Capital Budget. The construction budget included funding for consultant construction inspection and contract administration assistance. Consultant Inspection is recommended due to the complex nature of the storm and sanitary sewer construction as well as the unique stakeholder needs, specifically:  Constant and dedicated inspection is required to ensure that the stakeholder needs are being addressed at all times, specifically the existing Greater Niagara General Hospital and the various medical professional offices located within or in the vicinity of the construction limits. Night work has been specified for part of the contract to limit the disruption to the stakeholders. The Consultant Inspector will be onsite with the Contractor at all times, including during all night work.  AE has proposed a Senior Inspector with over 30 years of experience. The proposed Inspector has specific experience dealing with the complexities present on the Kitchener Street site including, groundwater dewatering, vibration and noise monitoring, and deep trench excavation support. AE’s construction services proposal has been included as Attachment 2. AE, as the project designers, are familiar with stakeholder needs and knowledgeable about the complexities of the project. Staff is recommending that Council provide approval to direct-appoint construction services to AE. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The 2020 Capital Budget approval for the Kitchener Street Sewer Separation project included an allowance of $200,000 for Consultant Inspection. The quotation for construction services provided by AE totals $225,120, excluding HST. The City’s Consultant Selection Policy prohibits the direct appointment of fees above $100,000.00. The successful Contractor was Centennial Infrastructure (Niagara) Inc., with a low corrected tender bid of $2,784,703.15. The 2020 Capital Budget approved for construction totalled $3,167,800; therefore, legal will prepare the contract agreement in Page 438 of 592 3 MW-2020-03 March 3, 2020 accordance with By-law No. 2018-2 and there remains sufficient approved budget to cover the shortfall of $25,120 for Consultant Inspection fees. The 2020 Capital Budget sheet has been included as Attachment 3. Furthermore, City staff has applied for funding under the Niagara Region’s 2020 Wet Weather Management Program for the Kitchener Street Sewer Separation project. At the time of this report the status of the funding’s approval was unknown; however, fees paid for Consultant Inspection are an eligible expense under the program. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Implementation of this project meets the intent of Council’s Strategic Priorities by providing strong and resilient infrastructure in a healthy and safe livable community through accountable government practices.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2020-04 Niagara Falls Lions Club – Leasehold Building Improvement Grant Request RECOMMENDATION That Council refer the grant request from the Niagara Falls Lions Club for leasehold building improvements to the 2021 Capital Budget for further consideration; and further, That Council direct Staff to perform exterior sidewalk accessibility improvements at the Niagara Falls Lions Club in 2020 as part of the annual concrete/asphalt restoration program. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Niagara Falls Lions Club, operating from the leased space at 4981 Drummond Road, approached City Staff on several occasions within the past 2 years to request financial assistance with leasehold building improvements, amongst other things. The Club has requested the following: 1. A grant to cover the full amount of renovations estimated to equal 8.21$56,85 . 2. Reconstruction of the parking lot. 3. Installation of a new accessible ramp to the front doors. Staff recommend that Council refer the grant request to the 2021 Capital Budget. However, in support of providing an exterior barrier-free access to the building, and as a measure of in-kind support, Staff are prepared to construct the sidewalk ramp improvements during the course of 2020, subject to Council approval. Reconstruction of the parking lot represents a very sizeable capital cost (approximately $170,000), thus will be considered as part of longer-term capital budget planning in order to balance priorities and limited resources. BACKGROUND The Niagara Falls Lions Club has been a long-standing Service Club in the City of Niagara Falls, approaching its 100-year anniversary. The Lions Hall, at 4981 Drummond Road, has been located on the City’s property since 1988 and has been the subject of a series Page 449 of 592 2 MW-2020-04 March 3, 2020 of previous lease arrangements and fee-for-service agreements to the mutual benefit of each party. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Over the past several years, Staff have been meeting with the Club to discuss planned improvements to the building that they lease. The Club has considered several options that would provide them with a) more floor space, b) improved accessible washrooms, and c) more storage space. These improvements would improve the facility’s ability to support of the wide variety functions held at the Club, including Community Fundraisers and Municipal Elections. On February 13, 2020 the Club has submitted a formal request for assistance to renovate the existing interior of the building, not including any building expansion. They have also requested exterior improvements to the parking lot and sidewalk ramps. The attachment to this report indicates the extent of their plans, and generally their request is broken down as follows: 1. A grant to cover the full amount of renovations (accessible washroom, exterior accessible doors, and interior modifications) estimated to equal $56,858.21. 2. Reconstruction of the parking lot. 3. Installation of a new accessible ramp to the front doors. At this time Staff do not recommend Council approve such a grant. Service Clubs have in the past been encouraged to seek out grant opportunities, such as Trillium Grants, which are available to not-for-profit, non-governmental organizations. Notwithstanding the challenge of incorporating these new expenses into the already approved capital budget, Staff are additionally challenged to find a basis to support such an improvement where the benefits are to single user-groups with sole control of the facility, that are not accessible to the general public on a day-to-day basis. Consequently, it is recommended to refer this request to the 2021 Capital Budget process as an option for Council’s consideration. The Club has previously identified the deficiencies of the aging parking lot. Municipal Works staff are aware of the parking lot condition and have been maintaining the infrastructure in order to keep the surface safe and secure. Estimates to reconstruct the parking lot have been developed and are in the order of $170,000. Since the parking lot is a City Asset which also services the park land and pool areas, it is not identified in the Lease with the Club. Budget allocation for the improvements were considered in 2020 by Municipal Works staff; however, greater priorities took precedence for the limited available capital dollars. Nonetheless, it is expected that this improvement will again be considered in future capital budget iterations. The sidewalks leading to the building provide limited barrier-free access opportunities. In keeping with the Accessible Ontario 2025 provincial initiative, Staff are prepared to construct the sidewalk ramp improvements during the course of 2020, subject to Council approval. Construction costs would be funded from the annual restoration funds allocated Page 450 of 592 3 MW-2020-04 March 3, 2020 for various improvements to concrete and asphalt across the City. Construction is estimated to cost $3000. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Council is being asked to consider a grant in the amount of $56,858.21 plus in-kind assistance in the amount of $3,000. Subject to council approval, Municipal Works staff will be required to construct the ramp improvements during the course of the 2020 construction year. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The recommendations contained within this report align with Council’s Strategic Priority to provide a Healthy, Safe and Liveable Community, namely the initiative to continue to strive to be a barrier-free community.

Please ?nd attached our cost estimate for constructing the barrier-free washroom.You may recall that during previous discussions with City representatives,our request included a building extension on the west side of the existing building (refer to attached Main Floor Plan).Due to cost restrictions,we canceled this idea for now. We would appreciate it if the City of Niagara Falls would provide funding for the above noted improvements.Dieter L.and Bill B.have extensive construction experience and if requested by the City,are prepared to manage to improvements to the washrooms at no cost. The Niagara Falls Lions Club is one of the oldest Lions Clubs in Canada and will celebrate its 100thanniversary in two years,in June 2022.During its existence the Niagara Falls Lions Club sponsored many good causes and events through volunteer work.This included developing the Lions Park at this location including buildings and swimming pool.Ownership was later transferred by the Niagara Falls Lions Club to the Ci of Niaara Falls.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2020-02 Recreation & Culture Fee for Service Agreements RECOMMENDATION 1. That City Council approve the two year (2020, 2021) Fee for Service Agreement for the Niagara Falls Boys & Girls Club. 2. That the fee for service funding be referred to the 2020 operating budget deliberations for consideration. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Niagara Falls has engaged organizations to provide “core services” on the City’s behalf for various services. The Recreation & Culture Department has Fee for Service Agreements with the Niagara Falls culture and recreation organizations and individuals to deliver services. The following organizations receive Fee for Service funding: Niagara Falls Boys & Girls Club, Niagara Falls Art Gallery, Niagara Falls Concert Band and the Cultural Ambassadors positions. In 2011, City Council approved Report F-2011-13 to phase out all permissive grants not considered “core services” of the corporation over a four year period commencing in 2011. This year the City received a Fee for Service request of $35,000.00 plus capital projects requests of $19,000.00 from the Badminton Club to assist with operating costs and capital projects. The purpose of fee for service funding is for the City to purchase municipal related services. The funding is not to be used for capital or s tandard operating costs. Based on the fact that a complete funding application has not yet been received, this item will be deferred for a future report. BACKGROUND The Recreation & Culture Department provides funding to the Boys & Girls Club and the Niagara Falls Art Gallery. The funding for the Boys and Girls Club is considered a core service as they provide recreation and culture children’s and youth programming. The department does not provide direct funding for child care, summer camps and/or speciality sports programming and leagues. Page 456 of 592 2 R&C-2020-02 March 3, 2020 The City does not provide Fee for Service funding for any youth sport organizations. The City historically has provided facilities for traditional sports; baseball, football, ice activities/sports, limited outdoor racquet sports, soccer, track and outdoor swimming. The City does not directly provide facilities or funding for basketball, cheerleading, dance, golf, gymnastics, rugby and volleyball. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The Recreation & Culture Department is committed to provide programs through community development. Community Development encourages partnerships, capacity building, which is innovative and cost effective. Other local municipal recreation departments coordinate and deliver cu lture and recreation programming. As the department does not provide this level of service, Niagara Falls Boys & Girls Club and the Niagara Falls Art Gallery are contracted to provide this service. Their Agreements state the number of hours the organizat ion is to provide services to the community. If the organizations did not provide this service, additional staff resources would be required. The core service needs to be a service the residents expect the City to provide and is not a duplication of services provided by other private or non-profit providers. The Recreation & Culture Department will be hiring a consultant to conduct a ten year Recreation & Culture Master Plan. During the community consultation phase residents will be asked, what types of recreation activities do you currently participate in? What programming would you like the city to provide? Etc. Once the public consultation has been completed staff will have a better understanding of resident’s current and future recreation activity expectations. The consultant will also be asked to evaluate the department’s current program delivery system, including existing fee for service agreements. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Fee for service agreements are included in the City’s operating budget. Based on the current Consumer Price Index (CPI) the Niagara Falls Boys & Girls Club has requested a 2% increase for their 2020 and 2021 Fee for Service funding. The following chart lists the proposed and current funding level.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2020-03 Niagara Falls Cultural Ambassadors RECOMMENDATION 1. That the City of Niagara Falls expands the Cultural Ambassadors positions to include a Poet Laureate program as recommended by the Culture Committee. 2. And that Council approve the modifications to the City Historian to a Historian in Residence position as recommended by the Culture Committee. 3. And that Council approve the new Roles and Responsibilities for the Cultural Ambassador positions. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On November 15, 2018, the Culture Committee was presented with a proposal to add the position of Poet Laureate to the current list of Cultural Ambassadors for our community. This would put emphasis on the ability of such an individual to provide a unique perspective on the community. The Culture Committee supported this idea and developed guidelines, roles and responsibilities of the position. The positions will be approved by Council and will serve the same term as Council. An individual can only be appointed to one of the Cultural Ambassador positions. The Cultural Ambassador shall adhere to the same Code of Conduct and Rules and Regulations as City employees. The individual shall be impartial and will act in the interest of the City and not for personal gain while maintaining a high standard of ethical, moral and legal conduct. The City Historian recently retired after twenty-five years in this role. Over the last few months, City staff and the Culture Committee members have discussed the roles and responsibilities for the City Historian position prior to recruiting a new City Historian. It is recommended that this is an opportunity to have this position change slightly to be a focused position on aspects of our histo ry that have not been well represented and be a public face for those stories. Therefore, the recommendation from the Staff and Culture Committee is to have this position shifted to a Historian in Residence programme. Page 460 of 592 2 R&C-2020-03 March 3, 2020 BACKGROUND Parliament states the objective of a Poet Laureate is “To encourage and promote the importance of literature, culture and language in Canadian society; to draw Canadians’ attention to poetry, both spoken and written, and its role in our lives.” The City of Niagara Falls is a unique community. The Poet Laureate will provide a voice for the writers of Niagara Falls to communicate their experience to the community through words. Numerous cities in Ontario have a current Poet Laureate Program; Toronto, Londo n, Ottawa, Windsor, Brantford, Mississauga, Dufferin County, Owen Sound, Barrie, Cobourg, Kingston, Sudbury and Cobalt. Honorariums range from $1,300.00 for smaller communities to $10,000.000 per annum for larger municipalities, with varying term limits. Currently, no community in the Niagara Region has such a programme. The Poet Laureate Sub-committee of the Culture Committee studied multiple municipal, provincial, national and international Poet Laureate Programs and their Terms of Reference, oversight structures and their remuneration rates. Programs of note, which include Ottawa, Toronto, Kingston, London and Barrie, as well as, the new Provincial Poet Laureate Position created by The Poet Laureate of Ontario Act (In Memory of Gord Downie). The Committee is currently finalizing the role of the Poet Laureate, but it will include readings at Council during National Poetry Month and other public engagements. The City of Niagara Falls appointed Sherman Zavitz as City Historian over 25 years ago. At that time, the City Historian was appointed due to the individuals’ thorough understanding of our history and ability to present it to the public. With the retirement of Mr. Zavitz, City Staff researched current trends and spoke to staff in knowledge industries both within the City and Region. Currently, there are no City Historians in the Region of Niagara. This is largely due to the rise in the past 25 years of professionals in related fields who fulfill some of these roles. Staff presented the Culture Co mmittee with three options 1) an open call for a new City Historian 2) appoint a new City Historian 3) a call for an Historian in Residence that will focus on underrepresented communities. The Committee voted for option 3 and saw the opportunity that this position could present for the community. This will provide a voice to underrepresented communities that and are still integral to our collective identity. A subcommittee of the Culture Committee will oversee the recruitment and programme for the Poet Laureate and Historian in Residence. The appointments will be approved by City Council. Term will coincide with the term of Council. Page 461 of 592 3 R&C-2020-03 March 3, 2020 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The support of the literary arts expands our Cultural Ambassadors program that currently has a City Historian to deal with the context of the heritage of our community, a Town Crier that assists with events and adds a colour to civic pride and engagement and now a Poet Laureate who will provide a written contextualization of the community and events. The new role of Historian in Residence will provide new perspectives on our history to be presented to the community in a way similar to the former City Historian position. The difference is that this will not be a role for a generalist historian. Instead, someone focused on a community, history or area that has not been well represented, will service the community in a very useful way. It is hoped that this focus will be someone from the focused community that can tell the stories in their own words and f rom their perspective. This will provide the community with a better understanding of stories that have not been told before and encourage new understanding of who we are. The revised Historian in Residence roles and responsibilities may include: walking tours, lectures, events, podcasts, virtual exhibitions or other ways of presenting our history to the community. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS These are honorary positions within the City however, there is compensation. The Committee is recommending that the position of Poet Laureate be compensated at a rate of $2,000/annum and that the other two positions be also elevated to the same rate. Due to budget limitations staff recommends keeping the positions at the rate of $1,500/annum. No one individual will hold more than one of these positions. Staff will set up the call out for poets and historians and the terms and conditions of the Cultural Ambassador positions. City Council will approve the appointments. Staff will assist with promotion, scheduling and other needs of the position. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The City of Niagara Falls is committed to building and promoting a vibrant, sustainable city that supports an active, connected, and creative community. Through a Poet Laureate program, the Culture Committee is able to support a local artist who has contributed to enriching the lives of Niagara Falls residents, our community, and will allow them to continue their growth.

This represents a decrease from $13.5 million in arrears for the same period in 2019. This table also breaks down the taxes outstanding by year. Finance staff continues to actively pursue property owners in arrears. Table 2 provides the breakdown of outstanding taxes by assessment class. The majority of outstanding taxes are for the residential and commercial property class. The chart shows the taxes owing from the residential property class has increased from a year ago whereas the commercial property class has decreased. Finance staff takes specific collection actions for properties that are subject to registration. At January 1, 2020, 333 properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of these actions after one month of activity. This table shows 39.0% of the tax accounts or 130 properties have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment arrangements. During January, nineteen accounts were paid in full. Page 472 of 592 2 F-2020-11 March 3, 2020 Finance staff continues to make every effort to have accounts paid in order to avoid the registration process and the associated costs related to that process. Table 4 identifies the properties and associated tax arrears scheduled for tax sales in the future. The outstanding taxes for registered properties represents 1.1% of the total taxes to be collected. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Tax arrears as a percentage of taxes billed in a year is a performance measure that stakeholders utilize to analyse an organization’s financial strengths. Niagara Falls, due to its high reliance on commercial assessment, is traditionally higher compared to municipalities of similar size. The percentage of taxes outstanding to taxes billed as at January 31, 2020 is 6.7%, which is a slight decrease of 2018’s value at 6.9%. The municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to offset the higher measure.

L-2020-03 March 3, 2020 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Legal Services SUBJECT: L-2020-03 Notice for closure of portion of Blackburn Parkway Part 6 on 59R-16425 – Reconfiguration of Montrose Business Park Our File No. 2017-175 RECOMMENDATION 1. That Report L-2020-03 act as public notice that at its meeting to be held on March 24, 2020, at the Council Chambers, City Hall, 4310 Queen Street, in the City of Niagara Falls, at 5:00pm, the Council of The Corporation of the City of Niagara Falls will consider the passage of a by-law to close a portion of Blackburn Parkway legally described as Part 6 on 59R-16425 pursuant to subsection 3(c) of By-Law No. 2003- 02 which establishes procedures for giving notice. 2. In the event that Council determines that it is in the public interest to do so, that the portion of Blackburn Parkway legally described as Part 6 on 59R-16425 and shown in yellow on Schedule “G” attached be permanently closed by the passage of a by- law at the March 24, 2020, Council Meeting. 3. That the City Solicitor cause the by-law to be registered in the Local Registry Office after its passage. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Description: Part of Blackburn Parkway legally described as Part Township Lot 210 designated as Part 6 on 59R-16425, being part of PIN 64263-1134 (LT) in the Land Registry Office for the Land Registry Division of Niagara South (No. 59) (the “Subject Lands”). Total Area: Approximately 0.506 acres Location: Within the Montrose Business Park Page 488 of 592 2 L-2020-03 March 3, 2020 REPORT On September 19, 2005, the City passed By-law 2005-160 to establish Part 2 on Reference Plan 59R-12747 for public highway purposes to be known as and form part of Blackburn Parkway. On October 10, 2007, the City deposited another Reference Plan, being 59R -13527, to form the remainder of Blackburn Parkway. Subsequent to the deposit of 59R-13527, the layout of the parcels in the Montrose Business Park were reconfigured, and, as a result, the location of Blackburn Parkway was moved as well. The changes to Blackburn Parkway were finalized in Reference Plan 59R-16028 on December 22, 2017. 59R-16028 should have included a separate part to allow the City to close the Subject Lands which were no longer a part of Blackburn Parkway. On January 12, 2008, Part 2 on 59R-16028 (which contained the Subject Lands) was sold to Terbro Sales and Services Limited (the “Terbro Lands”) without the City having formally closed the Subject Lands prior to. Legal Services did not circulate the road closure to any of the City Departments or external parties as the closure of the Subject Lands should have been completed when Blackburn Parkway was reconfigured in 2017 and City Departments were able to provide comments at that time. The recommended closure of part of the former Blackburn Parkway in this Report is a housekeeping matter to clear up title to the Terbro Lands. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The closure of the Subject Lands is necessary to provide the owner of the Terbro Lands clear title. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposed transaction is in keeping with Council’s commitment to customer service excellence, organizational efficiency and effectiveness, and the creation of a well-planned City.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2020-05 Niagara Falls Disc Golf Club - Grant Request RECOMMENDATION That Council approve in-kind support of labour and equipment (only) by Municipal Works for the drilling, pouring and placing of disc golf baskets at Firemans Park, contingent on the successful fundraising for the supply of baskets and all other amenities by the Niagara Falls Disc Golf Club. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Niagara Falls Disc Golf Club (NFDGC) is requesting the City provide grant funding for either basic, standard, or professional course improvement options to the existing course at Firemans Park. Respective options total $4250, $12,350 and $23,400 each plus various donations or in-kind services. Staff do not recommend proceeding with any grant funding at this time, but instead recommend Council approve in-kind support for Municipal Works to provide labour and equipment to drill, pour and place disc golf baskets once the NFDGC has secured sufficient fundraising to proceed. BACKGROUND In 2018 the NFDGC began the installation of a disc golf course within the lower area of Firemen’s Park in cooperation with the City, the Stamford Center Volunteer Firemen’s Association (SCVFA) and the Ontario Disc Golf Association (ODSA). ODSA tournaments and local fundraising efforts allowed the NFDGC to purchase and provide for installation 10 baskets to get a simple course up and running. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE It is the goal of the NFDGC to improve the course and grow the user base, and accordingly they are seeking approval and financial assistance to expand the course to a full 18 holes. Completing the installation of an 18-hole disc golf course at Firemen’s Park would primarily include the installation of 9 additional baskets (8 holes and 1 practice basket), tee pads and tee signs, an information board, and minor repair to some of the walking paths along the course. Limited tree maintenance and trimming are desired in select Page 497 of 592 2 MW-2020-05 March 3, 2020 locations, particularly large fallen limbs and branches at eye level range near baskets. To date, the NFDGC has completed trimming within the park with the City’s permission and large fallen trees or tree limbs have been attended to by the City’s forestry crews. Three options have been proposed for consideration (see attachment): BASIC - $4250 The basic cost for completion of an 18-hole disc golf course at Firemen’s Park would include the cost of basket purchase and installation only. STANDARD - $12,350 The standard cost for completion of a fully functional 18-hole disc golf course at Firemen’s Park would include the cost of basket purchase and installation, tee pads, tee signs, course information board, additional garbage/recycling bins. PROFESSIONAL - $23,400 The cost for completion of a professional level 18-hole disc golf course at Firemen’s Park would include the standard cost plus additional baskets/tees per hole, additional seating, upgraded paths, the cost of year-round parking and washroom facilities, and a clubhouse (disc shop, canteen, etc.). Staff are not recommending to proceed with any of these options at this time. User groups such as the NFDGC are encouraged to seek fundraising or develop a financial plan on a user-pay basis. However, as a gesture of support, Staff are recommending that Council authorize Municipal Works to provide in-kind assistance for labour and equipment necessary to drill, pour and place the baskets once the NFDGC is ready to proceed with their enhancements, and at a time when ground conditions are favourable to performing this type of work. Costs at this time for in-kind support are not well known, but not expected to exceed $4000. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Council is being asked to consider a grant options ranging between $4250 and $23,400 plus in-kind services. Subject to council approval, Municipal Works staff will drill, pour and place the disc golf baskets on behalf of the NFDGC. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The recommendations contained within this report align with Council’s Strategic Priority to provide a Healthy, Safe and Liveable Community, namely the initiative to: foster healthy lifestyles through planning for and providing a range of accessible and affordable recreation facilities, events and opportunities.

INTRODUCTION In 2018, the Niagara Falls Disc Golf Club began the installation of a disc golf course within the lower area of Firemen’s Park in cooperation with the City of Niagara Falls, the Stamford Center Volunteer Firemen’s Association (SCVFA) and the Ontario Disc Golf Association (ODSA). ODSA tournaments and local fundraising efforts allowed us to purchase and install 10 baskets to get a simple course up and running. To improve the course and grow the user base, we sought and received approval from the City of Niagara Falls and the SCVFA to expand the course to a full 18 holes. We are currently seeking financial support from the City of Niagara Falls to complete the purchase and installation of the remainder of the disc golf course. This proposal will describe disc golf to those unfamiliar with the sport. It will illustrate our goals for incorporating a complete disc golf course in Firemen’s Park, as well as outline the positive impact a disc golf course can have on the community and region. It will outline how the park will be affected, the material components and projected work required. The estimated costs for completion of the course are also outlined as basic, standard, and professional course packages. Lastly, the proposal describes our intent to continue to lead the Niagara Disc Golf Club (NFDGC), a non-profit organization aimed to enhance the sport of disc golf within our community. 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Existing and Proposed Course Layout: The existing 10 holes and the City-approved 18-hole layout of the disc golf course are depicted in the image below. The existing 10-hole course layout has been in use over the past year with excellent feedback from the community and disc golf players alike. The proposed 18-hole course layout has been used for two ODSA-sponsored tournaments over the past two years (with use of temporary baskets) and has received excellent feedback from the disc golf community in attendance. Great care has been taken to ensure safe use of the park space that allows for ongoing recreational use of the park by members of the community for dog walking, fishing, hiking, YMCA Kids Camps, cross-country events, etc. The existing parking and washrooms available in the summer months are also very helpful. Page 501 of 592 2 Existing and Proposed Course Layout Rationale: Disc Golf is a low impact sport in which people of all ages and skill levels can play together at the same time. There are now more than 4000 registered Disc Golf courses in the United States and Canada, most of which are installed by city and county parks departments – the website Professional Disc Golf Association website (PDGA.com) has a course directory showing registered course listings. There are few recreational activities that offer the high ben efit-to-cost ratio of disc golf. Disc golf has relatively low capital and maintenance costs compared with other recreational installations, is environmentally sound, can be played year-round in all climates, and is enjoyed immediately by beginners of all ages. The completion of the course at Firemen’s Park is expected to increase park usage showcasing beautiful areas of the park which currently see little-to-no use. The course meets Page 502 of 592 3 diversified recreational needs and offers opportunities not available elsewhere in the city. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) officially recognized the World Flying Disc Federation (WFF) in 2018 and has been considering the inclusion of Ultimate Frisbee and Disc Golf in future games. What Is Disc Golf? Disc Golf is played much like traditional golf. Instead of hitting a ball into a hole, you throw a disc (Frisbee) into a suspended metal basket. The goals are the same: to complete the course in the fewest number of shots. A golf disc is thrown from a tee area to each basket, which is the "hole." As players progress down the fairway, they must make each consecutive shot from the spot where the previous throw has landed. The trees, shrubs and terrain changes in and around the fairways provide challenging obstacles for the golfer. Finally, the "putt" lands in the basket and the hole is completed. Who Can Play? Everyone. In studies measuring participation in recreational activities, "throwing a Frisbee" has consistently been a top-ten activity. A disc golf course serves a broader portion of the community than many narrower interest activities with higher cost and skill or fitness levels required to even begin to play. Men and women, young and old, families with small children – all can play disc golf. Because disc golf is so easy to understand and enjoy, no one is excluded. Players merely match their pace to their capabilities and proceed from there. The NFDGC has also received feedback from members of the community that the course has been enjoyed by those with special needs. From recreational to professional level of play, the sport of disc golf can be enjoyed by all. How Much Does It Cost to Play? Many courses are located within city or regional parks where residents play for free. Most private and some public facilities will charge $5-$10 per day to play, or they may earn passive income from annual passes and/or fees to enter the park. The equipment itself is quite inexpensive – discs designed for golf generally sell for $10-$20 each and only one is needed to get started playing the game. Some local/regional sports stores carry the discs although many players choose to purchase their discs online in order to acquire a disc with a specific brand, weight and color. Similarly, used discs are available for free or for $5-10, and Niagara Disc Golf Club expects to make discs available to new players and assist players with acquiring discs as needed. Firemen’s Park is currently a free-to-play course. Club membership fees and tournament fees are charged with the intent of covering organization & event costs, insurance, providing entry packages for tournament participants and a prize pool for tournament winners. Any remaining profits are invested in improving and maintaining the course. What Kind of Construction is Planned for Firemen’s Park? Completing the installation of an 18-hole disc golf course at Firemen’s Park would primarily include the installation of 9 additional baskets (8 holes and 1 practice basket), tee pads and tee signs, an information board, and minor repair to some of the walking paths along the course. Limited tree maintenance and trimming are desired in select locations, particularly large fallen limbs and branches at eye level range near baskets. To date, the NFDGC has completed trimming within the park with the City’s permission and large fallen trees or tree limbs have been attended to by the city. Page 503 of 592 4 Baskets: Each playable hole consists of a basket mounted on a pipe that slides inside a concrete caisson. The concrete caisson measures approximately 12" in diameter and 24-36” deep. The City of Niagara Falls generously completed installation of the first 10 holes (drilling & pouring concrete caisson), and the NFDGC provided the sprinkler boxes, locks, and baskets. The remaining 9 holes could similarly be completed by the City of Niagara Falls or by the NFDGC, at the City’s discretion. The basket pipe and caisson in sprinkler box lock together securely with a padlock provided by the NFDGC to ensure safety and security. This also enables us to remove or relocate baskets as necessary for other activities or to potentially have alternate hole locations in the future by installing new anchors and relocating existing baskets. Alternate hole locations can help to reduce soil compacting and erosion, plus add some variety for players - similar to moving hole placement on a golf green. Tees: Each hole requires tee pads which can be constructed of concrete, rubber or turf mats, patio stones or various other materials. It is our intent to incorporate two sets of tees for each hole; shorter tees for novice players and longer tees with more difficult flight lines for advanced players. This also gives regular players the option to switch tees each round for more varied play. Tee pads typically measure around 4½’ x 10½’ (sized per PDGA guidelines) and are installed to allow for easy maintenance and be non-intrusive to grass mowing, etc. Signs: Tee signs are very important to help players navigate through the course. Each tee would have a sign indicating the hole number, length, recommended flight path and par. In some cases, courses acquire sponsors to help fund the course by awarding a small section of each tee sign for advertising. An information board containing a course map, rules & etiquette, and upcoming events is recommended for installation before the first hole. The signs can be constructed with a variety of materials although we believe it would be preferable to construct signs with a natural appearance to fit in with the surrounding area. Our intent would be something similar to the existing information board used at the dog park. Images of this information board and a sample tee sign are shown below. Page 504 of 592 5 Existing Dog Park Information Board Example Tee Sign What Maintenance Is Required for a Disc Golf Course at Firemen’s Park? After installation, the maintenance needs for a disc golf course are primarily grass mowing. Unlike weekly mowing usually required for ballfields, mowing for disc golf can be extended as needed (typically biweekly or monthly). The baskets are made of welded steel anchored in concrete and need no regular maintenance. In the unlikely event that one of the baskets is damaged beyond repair or stolen, they can be replaced for around $500. Almost the entirety of the proposed course is already maintained to a sufficiently for course usage with next-to-no additional maintenance required. One foreseeable increase would be increased garbage/recycling brought on by additional park visitors. We recommend the incorporation of a few additional, optimally located garbage/recycling bins around the course and request park maintenance assistance in regularly emptying the bins. Alternatively, we could operate under the policy of ‘Carry out what you brin g in’. To date, NFDGC volunteers have undertaken initial clean up and maintenance of the course paths as trash-free zones as best as possible. Finally, walking pathways used by players may need occasional maintenance to prevent erosion and soil compacting: NFDGC volunteers would again be willing to assist with this task as required. Page 505 of 592 6 3. COMMUNITY BENEFIT The installation of a disc golf course in Firemen’s Park would benefit the surrounding community by increasing and enhancing recreational opportunities within the park,the city and the region, improving park safety, bringing attention to environmental conservation goals associated with the low environmental and economic impact of the sport of disc golf, while increasing local business and tourism industries. To date, the Niagara Falls Disc Golf Course has been enjoyed not only by members of the City and Niagara Region, but has also drawn disc golfers for tournaments and travel from across the province, the country, and the United States. Recreational Needs: A disc golf course would provide an inexpensive form of recreation for people of all age and skill levels and would be a great addition to the recreational facilities at Firemen’s Park. Disc skills have been incorporated into school curriculums in many North American cities - including the Niagara Region - thus illustrating the potential for the inclusion of many nearby schools. A disc golf course would give youth in the neighborhood a healthy and challenging outlet for their energies and would allow members of the Niagara Disc Golf Club to organize clinics and youth leagues on their behalf. For the growing number of disc golfers in the Niagara region, the presence of a disc golf course in the city would minimize the need to travel long distances to play and would provide players a home base from which to further promote the sport. The disc golf community is always enthusiastic to organize and assist interested parties in learning the sport and playing the course – whether it be formal or informal - and we look forward to providing more of these opportunities in the future. Safety: A disc golf course at Firemen’s Park would increase foot traffic in the Park throughout the day. The influx of purposeful visitors would discourage the presence of individuals who are only in the park to cause mischief such as vandalism or littering. Some areas that are infrequently used or overgrown would be utilized for the course. Insurance coverage is outlined in Section 5, below. Conservation: Disc golf is typically an environmentally-friendly sport. Unlike traditional golf, a disc golf course, like Firemen’s Park, weaves its way through the natural landscape around trees and other obstacles, through grass, fields, and the forest. Therefore, the impact of a disc golf course on the surrounding area is minimal. Disc golfers generally take great pride in where they play, helping to reduce potential litter on the course. In the long-term, a disc golf course would also help in the preservation of the park by giving young people in the neighborhood a stake in its preservation and protection. Economics: A complete 18-hole disc golf course with multiple sets of tees, signs and baskets can be installed for around $25,000 - less than the cost of a single tennis or basketball court. An 18-hole course can easily serve more than 50 people at any given time, compared with a tennis court (4 maximum) or basketball court (10 maximum). Further, the disc golf course will draw players and tourists to our community to support local businesses, lodging and attractions while they are in the area to play. Based on past discussions, it is our hope that in coming years we will be able to coordinate weekend tournaments with other local courses (for example, St. Catharines Disc Golf Course at Centennial Gardens), which would again increase the number of visitors enjoying the city for a weekend. Page 506 of 592 7 4. PROJECTED COSTS In order to complete an 18-hole course at Firemen’s Park, we are seeking the City of Niagara Falls’ financial assistance, and have outlined the estimated costs for Basic, Standard, and Professional course completion packages (below).

NIAGARA FALLS DISC GOLF CLUB NFDGC is a non-profit organization with the following goals: • To promote the sport of disc golf in the region through the development of a local 18-hole course in Firemen’s Park and to provide support & maintenance for that course. • To actively promote inexpensive play and physical activity. • To host clinics & events intended to introduce new players to the sport. • To host 1-2 organized tournaments per year for the disc golf community. We will aim to promote disc golf as an environmentally and socially beneficial sport that is challenging and rewarding for people of all ages and backgrounds and that can co-exist amicably with other recreational activities in the city's parks. We understand that any events would require consultation and approval. Small clinics and events could take place anywhere in the park and would not require exclusive park space. We would like to host one tournament per year at some point in the warmer months, and depending on interest, potentially one tournament in the winter also. During tournament play, we would hope that the areas of the park surrounding the proposed disc golf holes could be kept clear of n on-competitors, other than people watching or passing through at safe times and locations. Our intent would be to have a 1-day tournament event with 50-100 competitors (based on turnout at two successful tournaments previously undertaken). The tournament entry fees would primarily serve as a fundraiser for the club to provide prizes for winners and cover event costs. NFDGC Members and Tournament Participants will be charged a small yearly fee which will go towards covering our registration with the ODSA, prizes for weekly league nights, course maintenance/upgrades, etc. This registration will provide insurance to club members including directors, officials, coaches and volunteers while acting withi n the scope of their duties on our behalf. This insurance covers legal liability for bodily injury to, or damage to, property of others such as spectators, passers-by, property owners and others resulting from your activity as previously approved by the City of Niagara Falls. Additional information can be found at http://ondisc.usetopscore.com/insurance. 6. CLOSING STATEMENT The Niagara Falls Disc Golf Club would like to thank the City of Niagara Falls for their continued support of the Disc Golf Course at Firemen’s Park. We believe our continued collaboration to complete an 18-hole disc golf course in the city will improve the quality of life of our community members as well as drawing tourists and residents from the region to our beautiful city.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2020-15 Proposed Telecommunication Facility 10045 Schisler Road, Forbes Bros Limited Telecommunication Services on behalf of Xplornet Communications RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada be advised that the City of Niagara Falls does not object to the construction of a 45m (148’) tall self support style communications structure and related equipment on the lands known as 10045 Schisler Road. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City has received a submission from Forbes Bros Ltd Telecommunication Services on behalf of Xplornet Communications for a new telecommunication facility at 10045 Schisler Road. Xplornet wishes to provide enhanced wireless voice and data coverage and capacity for the areas along Highway 84, Schisler Road and the Cooks Mills area. The company is currently co-located on an existing tower located to the west at 419 Mathews Road (see Appendix 1) which is at capacity and will not accommodate additional Xplornet equipment. A preliminary submission by Forbes Bros Ltd. located the new tower approximately 750m (2,460’) east of the existing tower on Mathews Road. Upon receipt of the comments of the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority however, the tower has been relocated 24.4 m (80’) to the east to avoid a Provincially Significant Wetland and its buffer area. The tower proposal by Forbes Bros Ltd Telecommunication Services on behalf of Xplornet Communications can be supported as:  the property is located is more than 170m from the nearest neighbouring residence;  the location of the proposed telecommunication tower will have minimal impact on agricultural use and is set well back of natural heritage features and road allowances; and  the proposed tower meets the City’s design and site criteria for telecommunication towers. Page 509 of 592 2 PBD-2020-15 March 3, 2020 BACKGROUND Forbes Bros Ltd Telecommunication Services, on behalf of Xplornet Communications, is proposing a 45m (148’) tall lite duty self support tower (see photo example) within a 3m by 3m (9.8’ by 9.8’) area. The host property is located in the agricultural area near the Municipal boundary with Welland. The lands are designated “Good General Agricultural”, “Environmental Protection Area (EPA) and “Environmental Conservation Area (ECA) in the Official Plan. The environmental designations apply to a provincially significant wetland and associated wooded area that slightly overlaps the westerly property line. The property is zoned Rural – Agricultural under the Crowland By-law No. 1538. CONSULTATION Innovation, Science, and Economic Development (ISED) Canada is responsible for the licensing and approval of telecommunication equipment and facilities. Council has no approval authority for telecommunication towers. As part of the application process, proponents of new systems are required to consult with local municipalities and the public in accordance with local protocols and obtain comments. The decision of Council serves as a written response to ISED on behalf of the City for the proposal. The City adopted a Consultation Process for Radio Telecommunication Facilities that requires the proponent of a facility to hold a public information meeting and to forward any written or oral concerns / issues received from the public to the City to form part of their deliberation of the proposal. If concerns have been raised, the method by which the proponent has dealt with it must also be forwarded to the City. The proponent has completed its public notification process consisting of mail notification to properties within 135m (443’) of the tower which included one property owner within the City of Welland, a newspaper notice and a public information session that was held on December 17, 2019. No one attended the public information session or submitte d written comments or requests. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The telecommunication tower proposal is consistent with the siting and design criteria of the City’s Consultation Process for Radio Telecommunication Facilities: co-location of other providers will be available on the tower, the tower is outside of a significant natural Page 510 of 592 3 PBD-2020-15 March 3, 2020 area, and is set back from a municipal road allowance. The proposed site of the tower was relocated to the east to avoid a provincially significant wetland and its buffer area in response to comments received from the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority. Staff do not object to the requested 45m (148’) tower at this revised location. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS There are no financial, staffing or legal implications with the City as a result of the request for a new telecommunication facility. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The request is supported by the Well Planned City Strategic Priority as it provides telecommunication services to an area with an identified need.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2020-11 Third Avenue – Parking Review RECOMMENDATION That the “No Parking Except By Permit” zone on the east side of Third Avenue between a point 58 metres south of Hamilton Street and a point 67 metres south of Hamilton Street be removed. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The on-street permit only parking space in front of 4428 Third Avenue was meant for use solely for the previous occupant that required special needs. Given that the signs are no longer required for their intended purpose, City Staff is recommending that the signs be removed. BACKGROUND A permit parking zone was established in 2002 in front of a residence on Third Avenue to resolve on-street parking issues that arose due to the special needs of a family. The family has since vacated the premises. The new occupants have requested that the restriction in front of the home be removed. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Removing the permit parking zone will allow for anyone to park in this space. There are no other signed parking controls on the study section of Third Avenue. Page 515 of 592 2 TS-2020-11 March 3, 2020 FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The removal of the signs is to be carried out by Transportation Services staff. The labour is accounted for in the approved 2020 General Purposes Budget.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2020-12 Mewburn Road – Speed Limit Review RECOMMENDATION That the speed limit on Mewburn Road between the City’s north limits and Mountain Road be reduced from 80 km/h to 60 km/h. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The lower speed limit is warranted due to existing physical road conditions and traffic characteristics. BACKGROUND Per Council’s direction from their January 14, 2020 meeting, Staff reviewed the feasibility of a reduced speed limit on Mewburn Road between the City’s north limit and Mountain Road. The current speed limit for this section of Mewburn Road is 80 km/h. In November 2019, the bridge reconstruction over the CN rail line was completed and officially reopened to traffic. Mewburn Road is an arterial roadway that extends predominantly in a north/south direction with exception of a portion of the road extending in the east/west direction. Within the study area, Mewburn Road consists of one lane in each direction with a narrow shoulder and ditch on each side. There is street lighting provided along a portion of Mewburn Road between Mountain Road and the entrance to Pine Tree Village. A sidewalk for pedestrian-use is not available on either side of the road. Mewburn Road includes a re-constructed bridge, approximately 160 metres south of the northern City limits, which overpasses an active railroad. The roadway consists of two (2) horizontal curves, and also contains portions of roadway with rolling/hilly terrain. The abutting land uses within the 1.5 km stretch of road consists of two (2) residential properties, a mobile home park, forested lands and undeveloped agricultural lands. A roundabout controls traffic at the intersection of Mewburn Road and Mountain Road. Page 519 of 592 2 TS-2020-12 March 3, 2020 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Mewburn Road within the study area carries approximately 550 vehicles daily. Given that Mewburn Road is fully operational due to the reconstruction of the new bridge being complete, an increase of vehicular traffic on the roadway is anticipated. Speed limits are set according to the road geometry and the prevailing operating speed. A speed study carried out on Mewburn Road identified that the operating speed was 74 km/h for both northbound and southbound directions. Staff collected information on the physical attributes of the road under review, including but not limited to the lane widths, roadside hazards, horizontal and vertical road alignments, number of accesses and intersections, and pedestrian and cycling activity. The information was fed into the Transportation Association of Canada’s Speed Limit Warrant which assigns a risk value for the various warrant components. The guidelines identified that a 70 km/h speed limit is warranted on the section of Mewburn Road between the City’s north limits and Mountain Road, which is currently set at an 80 km/h speed limit. A collision analysis revealed that a collision problem does not exist on Mewburn Road. As Mewburn Road proceeds north into the township of Niagara-on-the-Lake and continues on as Concession 6 Road, Staff touched base with Town Staff on the possibility of a reduced speed limit on the segment of roadway abutting Mewburn Road north of the City limits. Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake staff have indicated that it is their intent to reduce the speed limit from 80 km/hr to 60 km/hr in conjunction with their upcoming road improvements subject to approval by Niagara-on-the-Lake Council. City Staff will work with Town Staff on providing transitional speed zone signage at the municipal boundary until such time that the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake carries forward with their speed limit change. City of Niagara Falls Staff recommends lowering the speed limit on Mewburn Road between Mountain Road and the City’s north limit from 80 km/h to 60 km/h. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The installation of the signs is to be carried out by Transportation Services staff. The labour and material costs are accounted for in the approved 2020 General Purposes Budget. It is estimated that the cost to replace the speed limit signs is approximately $1,000. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Encourage multi-modal travel and active transportation initiatives, and enhance motorist, cyclist and pedestrian safety.

Niagara offers the most diversified area of food production in all of Canada and agriculture has proven to be the economic mainstay in Niagara. The mandate of the Federation is to promote and protect agriculture in the Niagara Peninsula through lobby and communication efforts. The Niagara Federation of Agriculture is affiliated with the Ontario Federation of Agriculture who represents over 38,000 farm family members. The Niagara Federation of Agriculture would like to ask for your support in the passing of Bill 156, Security from Trespass and Protecting Food Safety Act. Our farms are places of business, growing and producing food, raising animals and making a living. It is also our home and the same place we raise our families and play with our children. Existing laws were not doing enough to protect our farms and families and our homes from the risk of invasion. Ontario farms have increasingly come under threat of unwanted trespassers and activists who are illegally entering property, barns and building, seizing private property and threatening the health and safety of the farm, employees, livestock and crops. It has resulted in farmers, their families and employees becoming increasingly frightened and frustrated. These activities are causing serious threats to the metal health and wellbeing of Ontario farmers. In most cases, farmers and their families live on their farms, making this ongoing threat even greater, exposing families to perpetrators. It’s a concern for their safety and the safety of their families and employees. There is also a biosecurity threat. Breaches in biosecurity puts the health and welfare of our animals and our food supply at risk. Unwanted visitors and guests have the potential to bring in diseases that could infect or kill an entire barn full of animals or contaminates water and food supply inside a food processing facility. This legislation helps Ontario’s agri-food sector protect against those risks. The Niagara Federation of Agriculture supports the Provincial Animal Welfare Services (PAWS) Act which implements a provincially-funded animal welfare enforcement model, designed to protect animals from abuse and neglect, and creates uniformity across the province. The legislation introduces a new enforcement system for Ontario, headed by the Chief Animal Page 524 of 592 Welfare Inspector, and includes trained animal welfare inspectors employed by the province. As a publicly funded animal welfare enforcement model, this revamped system provides for increased accountability, transparency and oversight by the government. This is the enforcement model that has been developed to protect all animals. The Security from Trespass and Protecting Food Safety Act is good news for Ontario’s agri-food industry. It provides a balance approach to protecting farms while recognizing a citizen’s right to protect. This new legislation will ensure farm businesses have a legal standing to protect their farms, family and employees, livestock, crops and ultimately the entire food supply. Thank you once again for your continued support of the agriculture industry.

Jim Diodati Mayor / Maire Page 530 of 592 www.unitedshorelineontario.ca facebook.com/Unitedshorelineontario/ youtube.com/c/UnitedShorelineOntario February 10th, 2020 RE: FLOODING 2020 - Government response urgently required for Flooding Emergency Management Attention: Shoreline Mayors, MPs, MPPs and Ministers The US Army Corps of Engineers is urging people to prepare for Lake Ontario 2020 water levels “at or above the 2019 water levels”. See the USACE notice HERE. Water levels were kept high in Lake Ontario from June through to December 31st, 2019 to "protect the safety of shipping" (Plan 2014 L-Limit + 200 m3s). It was not until January 2020 that the IJC opened the dam intermittently to 10,400 m3s, but it was too late. The L-Limit and the F-Limits of Plan 2014 disproportionally transferred the injury and the risk to the shoreline, and now shoreline residents find their safety and their homes threatened. In Ontario, the local government is the first level of response for emergency management in flooding, including prevention and preparedness. However, the local government can VOTE not to help, leaving homeowners to their own devices to ward-off a large-scale flood. The Provincial and Federal governments have NOT transferred emergency funds to the local level to prepare, nor has a pre- emptive, landscape-level flood mitigation plan been implemented. United Shoreline Ontario launched a Social Vulnerability Survey to take a snapshot of WHO lives on the shoreline. This data can be filtered by postal code, if requested. The attached PDF is a summary of the first 540 responses received from around Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River upstream of the dam. This video looks at these same early results and makes a public pleading for urgent and broad government action in flood preparedness and prevention. Governments must take social vulnerability into consideration when implementing policy. USO is requesting that all shoreline MPs and MPPs turn their attention towards advocating for emergency preparedness on behalf of their constituents. USO is requesting that the Federal and Provincial government fund a comprehensive shoreline emer gency management strategy for the anticipated 2020 floods. The shoreline is socially VULNERABLE, and the shoreline cannot be left alone to ward-off wide-spread flooding and erosion. We know this is coming. We are running out of time and a proactive, coordinated approach is the best chance of averting catastrophic damages and even death. Your constituents would welcome your immediate attention to this matter. Thank you for your time, Sarah Delicate, President, United Shoreline Ontario (USO) Page 531 of 592 Considering People in Emergency Management Policy for Wide-Spread Flooding Early Survey Results (n=540) for the Lake Ontario St. Lawrence River Social Vulnerability and Economic Loss Survey 2020-02-09Page 532 of 592 Currently, Ontario’s Emergency Management framework makes widespread flooding a “private home owner issue”. Municipalities are the first-line of response, and they can choose NOT to help their flood impacted residents. USO is urgently requesting a provincial standard and funding for local emergency flood management and response. Funds must be transferred to the local level immediately to get in front of the forecasted 2020 spring flooding. Who are these shoreline residents? These survey results look at the social vulnerability of the shoreline. 2Page 533 of 592 So who lives on the shores of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River?
