NEW BUSINESS
We are ANNIE DUROSS, and SARAH SLINN. We are both 17
years old and in grade 12 at Westlane and A N Myer high schools
respectively. We are both residents of Niagara Falls. We have been
presented with the opportunity of a lifetime. We are 2 of 75 young people
from all across Canada and the United States that have been accepted to go
on a mission trip organized by Operation Christmas Child. We will distribute
the "Christmas Shoeboxes" which have been filled with Christmas gifts
collected from the public to give to children in impoverished countries. We
will be traveling to Costa Rica for 2 weeks, where we will distribute the gift-
filled shoeboxes, run a medical clinic and share the gospel truth of Christ at
Christmas with the people there.
Operation Christmas Child, in co-operation with Samaritan's Purse is
an interdenominational relief organization that is committed to helping
people and proclaiming the truth of Jesus Christ. One way this is done is
through the sending of mission groups to developing countries for relief aid
and to leave a lasting impact of Christ's love on the communities visited.
Our group will be going under the leadership of Youth Beyond
Borders, and will leave from Houston Texas on December 8th loaded with
"Christmas Shoeboxes", and will stay in remote areas of Costa Rica until
December 20th. We are excited to see how this trip will benefit the people
there, and leave an impact on our own lives as well. We hope to become more
aware of their culture and the needs of the people in Costa Rica in order to
truly understand them as we witness Christ's love to them.
This trip will cost each person $2000. We have successfully raised these
funds ourselves by garage sales, selling homemade chocolates, and are
grateful to the many people and organizations who have donated funds. Our
church, Grace Gospel Church, has been especially encouraging in supporting
us. Long & McQuade Music store in Burlington generously gave us a brand
new guitar and case to be used by us while we are in Costa Rica, during our
street music sessions that we have planned. We are going to leave this
generous gift behind with a church group or youth leader to encourage the
gift of music to grow there with these people.
Youth Beyond Borders are ordinary people being ready for the
extraordinary. For us, this trip is about youth being ready to go way beyond
our own borders and be helpful to others that are limited because of their
own. It is our intention to put our faith and the love of God into action.
Thank you for considering this as a newsworthy item.
Sincerely, Annie and Sarah.

EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND AMBULATORY CARE
HEAD START PROJECT UPDATE
Date: July 19, 2004
Issue:
What is the status of the Greater Niagara General Emergency Room
and Ambulatory Care redevelopment project?
The head start project is in keeping with Health Services Restructuring
Commission (HSRC) directions. The approved total project cost is $20,146,442
with the MOHLTC contribution at a maximum of $12,537,376 (62.2%) and a
community share of $7,609,066.
The GNG Foundation has committed to raising $6.7M of the community share and
the NHS has committed to providing a contribution of $900,000 from interest
accumulated through the Superbuild fund.
The project has been in "process" since its first submission as a headstart
project on November 28, 2002. There is considerable unrest among the
community regarding the delays in moving this urgent project forward.
The NHS and the Ministry remain committed to seeing this vital project move
forward. An expedited submission of the working drawings and specifications
has been guaranteed by the NHS development team by the end of September
2004. Ministry review will dictate the ability to expeditiously move to tendering
the project by December 2004 (early January 2005).
The project is proceeding on budget.
The GNG emergency room is the regions busiest ER and is in urgent need of
replacement and considerable growth to accommodate current and future needs.
The new ER will provide the Niagara Falls community with one of the provinces
most effective emergency room designs building on considerable knowledge due
to both the SARS outbreak and chemical spills experienced in the community.
Background Timelines
November 28, 2002 - Submitted headstart project to HRIT
December 18, 2002 - Preliminary comments received
January 20 2003 - Response to preliminary comments on functional program from
NHS to HRIT
APRIL 2003 - SARS OUTBREAK - DELAY 1N ALL PROCESSES
May 8, 2003 - Follow-up letter to HRIT requesting status update on approval
September 12, 2003 - Ministers approval of Functional Plan
January 22, 2004 - Submission of Block schematics based on revised scope of project
April 6, 2004 - Kick-off Meeting with HRIT and Capital - setting project
timelines
April 23, 2004 - NHS request approval for Project Management proposal (response
required
April 30, 2004 - Ministry response to Block Schematic
June 3, 2004 - NHS response to Ministry Comments on Block Schematics
July 16, 2004 - NHS response to Ministry Guidelines on revised Infection Control
Measures
~' Based on the Capital "Kick-off' meeting with the MOHLTC the following timelines
were developed for the project process:
o Sketch Plans and Design Brief Submission including Costing and Equipment List
- Approval anticipated by End of July 2004
o Submission of Working Drawings and Specifications - November 30, 2004
o Approval to Tender- January 30, 2005
Final Estimate of Cost - March 15, 2005 with approval by March 30, 2005
o Post Occupancy Evaluation - September 2006
~ Based on discussions with the project development team at the NHS the submission of
Working Drawings and Specs will be completed by September 2004 allowing the tender
process to occur two months earlier then originally negotiated (mid November 2004)
assuming Ministry approval
> The revised "best scenario schedule" would allow for the following timeline
o Submission of Working Drawings and Specs - October 1, 2004
o Ministry review (assuming maximum 6 week turnaround - mid November)
Approval to Tender - assuming no negotiation required - legal process (4-6
weeks) - mid to end of December
o Contractor Selection - assuming tenders come back on budget and no negotiation
required - 1-2 weeks (end of December to early January)
o Award Contract - January 2005
· Approval of the EPJAMB project will provide the Greater Niagara General site with
the capacity to accommodate its growing ER and ambulatory care volumes.
Emergency visits at the GNG site are the highest of all Niagara Hospitals. The
submitted functional program provides for redevelopment of the Emergency
Department to enable a projected visit capacity of 63,728 annually as per the
following triage levels:
Triage Level Projected Visits
03~04
Resuscitation 637 1%
Emergent 3,186 5%
Urgent 19,119 30%
Semi-Urgent 22,305 ' 35%
Non-Urgent 14,841 29%
· It should be noted that in data tracked to date for 2002 there has been a
significant increase in average Length of Stay to move a patient to a rated bed
after an admit order. This compounds the current issue identified in bed
pressures for the site.
· The Functional Plan has identified a 65% increase in area to accommodate the
volumes identified by the HSRC and in keeping with the MOHLTC benchmark of
3.75 visits/sq ft the GNG benchmark will approach 3.9 visits/sq ft.
Fast Track Area
· The identified fast track has been developed as an integral part of the ER
redevelopment.
· Patients would enter the ER, be triaged.
· The Fast Track area would provide exam and treatment services to patients
requiring suturing of minor cuts, splinting, respiratory treatments, minor
diagnostic testing and uncomplicated dressings.
Ambulatory Care Redevelopment (Day Surgery)
· The benchmark of a 75% turnover of day surgery beds was assessed against the
GNG site data for the current year. It was determined that the site is currently at
a 100% turnover.
· The plan for the Ambulatory/Day Surgery area will see a considerable increase in
space to accommodate this fast growing program.
· The redevelopment of the ambulatory area will greatly assist in providing for a far
more efficient through put of day surgery patients currently being maintained on
waiting lists.
BACKGROUND
HSRC Directions
· On October 2, 2001 the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care released the final
directions for Niagara. GNG was directed to continue to provide full service in
Niagara Falls based on a maximum of 241 beds by the year 2003. The 241 beds
include:
Acute care 134
Rehabilitation 20
Sub acute 15
Acute Mental Health 20
Complex Continuing Care 52
Total 241
· The Ministry's capital allocation for HSRC projects for the Greater Niagara General
site was $8.7 million, composed of:
o $4.6M for new construction
o $1.2M for renovation
o $2.8M for ancillary costs, demolition, furniture and equipment, etc.
· The directed capital projects included the ER expansion, complex continuing care
bed expansion, rehabilitation inpatient beds and ambulatory care increment.
· It is important to note that the Master Plan for the Greater Niagara site
accommodates the CCC bed expansion and rehabilitation beds into existing space
with no associated capital costs.
Scope of the Project
· This project now consists of both new construction and renovation, as outlined
below:
Department New Construction Renovation Total
(cgsf) (cgsf) (cgsf)
Emergency Department 12,317 4,631 16,948
Ambulatory Care 1,003 15,696 16,699
· With the associated costs as follows:
Emergency Department $4,837,000
Ambulaotry Care $2,787,632
Business Office and Administration $174,668
New Penthouse and Extensions $260,971
Entry and Circulation $332,893
Ancilliary Costs $3,335,480
Site Development $1,275,985
Furniture and Equipment $1,156,812
Additional Infrastructure $5,983,906
TOTAL $20,145,347
*costing of Sketch Plan July 2004
· It is proposed that the existing Emergency Department continue to function in its
present location, while the new department is being constructed to the south side of
the main entrance. Therefore, the redevelopment plan will commence with the
construction of the new Emergency Department followed by renovation of the
existing Emergency Department to Ambulatory Care with renovation of the current
day surgery space (vacated as part of Ambulatory Care redevelopment) to
Administration and Business Offices.

The HSRC directions did not provide sufficient funding for infrastructure at the
GNG site that is essential to the increased capacity required in both the ER and
Ambulatory areas redevelopments
The ambulatory care area as originally projected did not take into account the
tremendous growth in outpatient and day surgery procedures being realized at

December 6, 2004 - 2 - PD-2004-114
BACKGROUND:
Changes to the Municipal Act and the Planning Act over the past few years have made it possible for
municipalities to offer financial assistance programs to the private sector to assist with redevelopment
within an identified community improvement area. As a result, the City initiated a project aimed at
downtown revitalization.
In June 2003, Council hired RCI Consulting in association with Green Sheels Pidgeon (GSP) to undertake
a Community Improvement Plan (CIP) for the Downtown area of Niagara Falls. The intent of the CIP was
to provide the vision, direction and strategies needed to revitalize the City's downtown area which has
experienced a decline in commercial and residential vibrancy.
More recently the preparation of the Downtown Community Improvement Plan was identified as a council
priority for 2004~2006 under the City's Corporate Mission Statement.
The final report on the Downtown Niagara Falls CIP has been submitted by the Consultants based on their
review of previous redevelopment plans, the existing structures/business in the downtown and consultation
through two public meetings, several meetings with stakeholders and numerous meetings with the
Technical Committee.
Under Section 28 of the Planning Act, municipalities are permitted to identify Community Improvement
Project Areas where improvements are desired for environmental, social or economic reasons provided
that the City's Official Plan contains provisions relating to community improvement. Part 4, Section 11
of the Niagara Falls Official Plan contains these provisions. The process to be followed is:
The by-laws establishing the existing redevelopmentJimprovement project areas and improvementJ
redevelopment plans in the Downtown Area should be repealed.
(A total of 5 Improven~nt Plans now exists for the downtown area which resulted in physical improvements along Que~m Street)
A new Community Improvement Project Area is established by By-law.
The Downtown Niagara Falls Community Improvement Plan is adopted by By-law.
Forward these adopting by-laws with the C1]? to the Minister of Municipal Affairs for approval.
Implementation of Municipal Leadership Strategy
Purpose
The purpose of this report is to advance the final report for the Downtown Niagara Falls CIP to Council
for consideration and adoption and to highlight what in contained within the Plan. The City's Consultants
will make a presentation of the Plan to Council and the public at the scheduled December 6, 2004 Public
Meeting. The public meeting is required under the provisions of the Planning Act and will provide an
opportunity for the general public and stakeholders to provide their input to Council on the contents of the
final Plan.
December 6, 2004 - 3 - PD-2004-114
The Downtown Niagara Falls Community Improvement Plan:
Vision
Through the Downtown Niagara Falls Community Improvement Plan, a programme of improvements have
been identified for revitalizing the downtown and to restore a sense of civic and cultural pride. The Plan
addresses the financial barriers to investment and lays out a set of tools to encourage and support
development in the downtown. Financial incentives in the Plan encourage developers to take advantage
of the predesignated and pre-serviced lands within the City's urban area rather than looking to unserviced
'greenfields'. Through this Plan, the land use strategies that were previously approved through former
improvement plans have been reconfirmed and the tools and tasks necessary to stimulate revitalization of
the downtown are outlined.
The downtown is envisioned as a place to live and work for Niagara Falls residents while also serving as
a destination for visiting tourists. The Downtown Niagara Falls Community Improvement Plan promotes
a more diverse, mixed use area by adding housing, entertainment, cultural activities, institutions and civic
facilities to the traditional retail/commercial role.
To work toward this vision, the CI~ defines an Improvement Project Area, provides a land use and urban
design plan, provides a package of financial strategies and a strategy for guiding Plan implementation.
The Community Improvement Project Area
The CIP identifies a Community Improvement Project Area which is slightly smaller than the downtown
study area. A residential block south of Huron Street and east of Erie Avenue was excluded from the
project area since it contains several large heritage homes that operate as bed & breakfasts, are in large
partly zoned for residential or institutional use and are similar in character and zoning the residential area
south of Morrison Street. Both the Final Project Area and the Study Area are shown on Appendix A.
The Land Use and Urban Design Plan
The CI~ divides the Project Area into nine subdistricts (see Appendix B) which reflect the characteristics
and uses within different sections of the downtown area. The subdistricts largely reflect the land use plans
that were approved by Council in the late 1980% under a previously prepared revitalization strategy. The
concept plan outlines the key land uses planned within these subdistricts as well as the scale and height
of development that should be considered to promote both redevelopment and compatibility with
surrounding areas. The following is a brief outline of the identified functions of these subdistricts:
· Western Gateway - western entry into downtown between Valley Way and Bridge Street
· Queen Street - primary retail area with mixed uses
· Civic Square Block - including City Hall and a Civic events area
· Transportation District - where the rail and bus terminals bring people into the downtown
Open Space - use of the former rail corridor to link with the tourist areas to the south
Heritage Commercial District - arts/culture venues utilizing heritage buildings
· Eastern Gateway - entry into downtown from River Road with the potential for high density
buildings
· Southern Residential - opportunity to intensify residential development
· Park/Bridge Neighbourhood - for office/commercial and residential use, infill and
redevelopment opportunities
December 6, 2004 - 4 - PD-2004-114
Previous redevelopment plans succeeded in improving the public streetscape along Queen Street. The new
CIP identifies other improvements within the public realm which will assist in the redevelopment of the
downtown such as: the strengthening of the gateways with sidewalk and street crossing improvements
and locating buildings close to the streetline; enhanced edging along parking areas with screen walls or
low fencing, shrubs and street trees; and the development of lands east of City Hall for a Civic
Square/Park.
The Financial Incentives
In order to stimulate private sector investment in the downtown, three Financial Incentive Programs have
been developed specific to the City's downtown (A more detailed summary of these Financial Incentive
Programs is attached as Appendix C, p. 65 of the CIP.):
Residential Loan Program (RLP) - will provide a maximum of $20,000 per dwelling unit to
encourage residential uses downtown through conversion, infill and intensification thereby
supplying an increased population base to support downtown commercial uses.
· Commercial Building Loan and Facade Grant Program (CBLFG) - a loan of up to $15,000
per property for the physical restoration of buildings with a possible further loan of $5,000 for
properties designated under the Ontario Heritage Act and a grant of up to $10,000 for facade
restorations on heritage buildings. This program is expected to provide a more attractive shopping
and dining environment.
· Downtown Revitalization Grant (DRG) Program - in order to promote private sector investment
in the form of building renovations, additions and new construction for commercial, residential or
mixed uses. It involves a grant toward a portion of the increase in property taxes after
redevelopment in the form of a percentage rebate over a 10~year period.
To kick-start these incentive programs, after municipal and provincial approvals, Staff has included
$85,000 in the 2005 proposed budget. The annual cost for these programs is approximately $250,000
which will be included in the 2006 and future years' budgets.
A fourth program, the Development Charge Exemption Program (DCE), does not fall within the
parameters of Section 28 of the Planning Act and does not form part of the CI? but will need to be
forwarded to Council for approval as a separate recommendation and implementing by-law. A report is
expected to be forwarded to Council in the new year.
In addition, there is a package of financial incentive programs offered at the Regional level through the
Region's Smart Growth Initiative. These include: a waiver/exemption fi:om regional development charges;
downtown/commercial area redevelopment incentive program; a residential conversion and intensification
incentive program; a heritage restoration and improvement incentives program; and a heritage properties
tax reduction program. These programs are offered where the local municipality has established a
community improvement project area that implements Smart Growth principles, as does this CIP. The
regional and municipal programs are mutually supportive.
The Municipal Leadership Strategy
The success of the Downtown Community Improvement Plan is predicated on a strong commitment fi:om
of all stakeholders: all levels of Government, the Downtown BIA, developers, the public and the City. As
noted previously, the CIP reconfirms the land use patterns previously approved by the City, but furthers
that vision with an important package of tools and tasks for implementation. The Plan not only provides
financial incentives to spur private interest in redevelopment but also provides a Municipal Leadership
Strategy which emphasizes the importance of proactive leadership by the City and the need to support
downtown revitalization.
December 6, 2004 - 5 - PD-2004-114
Under an approved CIP, the Planning Act permits the City to acquire, build or renovate upon, or sell lands
in conformity with the CIP. City investment in the downtown is designed to act as a catalyst for private
sector investment. The City's action can be used to implement large public or public-private projects as
outlined in the Plan such as parking lots/structures, a Civic Square development, and the restoration of
heritage buildings for public uses (museums/art galleries).
The City can demonstrate its commitment to the revitalization of the downtown by supporting the
implementation framework of the Municipal Leadership Strategy. Upon Council's adoption of the CIP,
a Staff Inter-department Development Team is needed to coordinate, monitor and facilitate the
implementation framework contained in the Plan which involves:
· the establishment, marketing and administration of the financial incentives program (Business
Development, Legal and Finance Divisions);
· the investment in, and development of, City-owned lands to spur private development (Business
Development, Finance Divisions);
· approaching downtown financial institutions to become funding partners in the financial incentives
programs and in establishing a venture capital pool for downtown business (Business
Development, Finance);
· the review of enforcement, licensing and permitting (Clerks, Building & By-law Division);
marketing of the downtown and establishing programs to look beyond the downtown for new
development partners and investors (Business Development);
· the preparation of official plan policies and zoning revisions to reflect the land use and building
form strategies of the Plan (Planning Division);
the preparation of urban design guidelines (Planning Division);
· the preparation of a Downtown Public Parking Strategy to deal with redesign and redevelopment
of parking areas (Parking Division);
· the preparation of a Transportation Master Plan to address the potential increase in traffic,
especially along Victoria Avenue, as tourist attractions to the north of the Central Tourist District
up to River Road continue to develop (Municipal Works); and
amending the City's Development Charges by-law to implement the Development Charge
Exemption (DCE) Program (Municipal Works).
Council's direction to the StaffInter-department Development Team to proceed with the coordination and
implementation of the Municipal leadership Strategy is sought. By initiating these actions now, the CIP
implementation framework could be in place soon after the Minister's approval of the Plan. Staff will
review the need for capital project budgets in future years. The refurbishment of the old courthouse is a
primary example of how City Council can enact the Municipal Leadership Strategy. Staff has already
received several requests for its use as a public space.
The Whirlpool Bridge
It was noted during the public workshops that the downtown business representatives were unanimous in
their view that the conversion of the Whirlpool Bridge to the NEXUS system has significantly reduced
downtown traffic and has, therefore, had a significant negative impact on business. The City has initiated
some discussion with the Federal government on this issue. It is recommended that the City continue to
support the Downtown Business Improvement Area Board's efforts to lobby the Federal government to
retain the full service custom and border services of the Whirlpool International Bridge crossing.
December 6, 2004 - 6 - PD-2004-114
CONCLUSION:
The Downtown Niagara Falls Community Improvement Plan has been prepared in cooperation with
downtown businesses and other stakeholders, as well as municipal and regional staff. The Plan reflects
the vision of the downtown as brought forth by these parties and, as stated by the City's Consultants:
builds on the physical improvements to the public realm achieved through the previous Plans; and adds
financial incentives designed to stimulate the redevelopment of private properties.
The Downtown CIP is an ambitious redevelopment plan which requires a high level of commitment by
the Municipality both in terms of financial allocation (for the incentives and public investments in
redevelopment) and human resources (administering, coordinating and implementing all elements of the
Plan). The CIP is a land use and economic development strategy envisioned to unfold over a number of
years. This, in addition to the budgeting constraints of the Municipality, confirms that a phased approach
to Plan implementation has to be taken. This report reflects only the 2005 portion of a long term
commitment. Continued commitment over many years is necessary to ensure the success of downtown
revitalization.
The adoption and approval of the CIP will provide the City the opportunity to implement its plans for the
revitalization of downtown Niagara Falls.

Dear Sir:
RE: PUBLIC MEETING FOR THE PROPOSED DO--OWN N~G~ F~S
COMMUN~ IMPRO~ME~ P~N, PURSUANT TO SECTION 28 OF ~E
P~NNING ACT
The Niagara Parks Commission (NPC) wishes to pmvidethe following comments ~th respect
to ~e propos~ Downtown Niagara Falls Communi~ improvement Plan.
Tmnspo~ation The suggestion of the NPC People Mover being routed via Queen
Pages 21,38,~ Strut, Erie Avenue and B~dge Strut is problematic due to among
other things, authorization of operating NPC buses on roads other than
those o~ by the NPC, physical, financial and timing restraints. In an
effo~ to address these constrains many yearn ago the Ci~ and NPC
come to an agr~ment which involves Ci~ buses dropping off
passengem in Queen Vi~oda Park.
Do.town Vision This se~ion mentions that the Niagara Pa~ay trail misses the
Page 34 DowntownArea. The Niaga~ Pa~y trail does continue along River
Road and the eastern bo~er of Downtown ama of Niagara Falls. If the
citizens / businesses am requesting anothertmil through the downtown
ama then s~te that separately rather than implying that the Niagara
River Recreation Trail has missed i~ mark.
Eastern Gateway This proposed plan mfem to the Eastern gateway as a 'Frae
Page 14, 39,~,45 Ente~fise~ zone where buildings can be 10 stories and even higher.
The Niagara Pa~s Commission believes that a wall of buildings along
River Road would be detrimental. Although the consultant states that
they should be "sensit~e~ design~ and s~ed so as not to fo~ a
continuous wall" the ama is referred to as ~free enterprise" whichmay
mean anything goes. The promise of not foxing a continuous wall
along Pa~ lands has been heard befomwith detrimental results to the
Niagara Parks. While the consul~nt fu~her states that "a
comprehensive strategy should be developed and appropriate building
heights dete~in~ through fu~her u~an design studies" the Niagara
Pa~s Commission does not f~l that this ~11 safegua~ our mai
~ncems. We would like to reiterate that a wall of high rises separating
the Niagara River and the gorge from theCi~ would not be an inviting
gateway either for those wishing to go into the Ci~ from River Road or
those wishing to pass through them from the Ci~ into our pa~ lands.
Jim Williams ~ ~GA~ PA~ CO~SSION John Kernahan
Chairman P.O. Box 150, Niag~ F~ls, ~o, Can~ L2E 6T2 GeneralManager
Web Site: ~.~ag~p~.com
We would also like to suggest that while the landscaped and stone
"Downtown"wall sign at the Queen Street and River Road is distinctive
and tasteful, the temporarywooden gold and brown should be removed
and if required replaced with a tastefully designed sign approved by The
Niagara Parks Commission.
The Park/Bridge While we do see where the Park / Bridge Neighbourhoed is shown on
Neighbourhood fiqure 6 the wording in the text stated that 10 storey buildings would
Page 40 be permitted north of Bridge Street. We only want the wording cleared
up in order that there is no misunderstanding that 10 storey buildings
are allowed north of Bridge Street adjacent River Road.
Streetscapes This Section suggests a roundabout at the intersection of Queen
and Gateways Street and River Road. We do not believe that this is the appropriate
Page 43 place for a roundabout simply to draw attention to the Downtown area.
Many visitors to this area are unfamiliar with roundabouts and the
Downtown may be missed while they concentrate on maneuvering the
traffic cimle. The Downtown entrance is quite attractive with the
distinctive stone sign and well-kept gardens save for the temporary
brown and gold wooden sign. There are alternative methods of making
this gateway more visible and The Niagara Parks Commission is willing
to assist the City in this endeavour.
Official Plans This section notes that lands east of the railway to River Road be
Policies designated as a free enterprise zone for large developments. We do
Page 45 not believe that the Niagara River gorge area is appropriate for tall
Free enterprise, large comprehensive developments.
We do refer you to the Niagara Parks Act and Section 38 of the Public
Transportation and Highway Improvement Act for developments
adjacent Parks lands. These acts have jurisdictional limits of up to 800
metres into the city from the Niagara Parks boundary. (approximately
1/3 of this community improvement plan area)
Targeted The consultant suggests that agencies such as The Niagara Parks
Improvement Commission undertakes specific projects in this study area to promote
Plans revitalization. Suggestions for the NPC include:
Page 46 1. Extend People Mover route into Downtown
2. Plan and construct an i~proved Niagara River viewing platform
area at Queen Street/River Road
3 Plan and construct a Niagara River viewing platform at the
intersection of the pedestrian bike trail and River Road
Although the consultant suggests that these be medium term projects
we feel that they may be considered but over the long term.
We hope these comments prove to be helpful.

Re: P.D.-2004-109, Zoning By-law Amendment Application
AM-51/2004, 8123 Lundy's Lane
Applicant: Dinh Thi Thuy
Proposed Billiard and Pool Hall
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that Council approve the requested Zoning By-law amendment to permit a billiard
and pool hall within the plaza under construction on the land.
BACKGROUND:
Dinh Thi Thuy has requested an amendment to the Zoning By-law for the land known as 8123
Lundy's Lane, as shown on Schedule 1. A 2,310 square metre (24,873 square foot) plaza is under
construction on the 0.97 hectare (2.4 acre) land, as shown on Schedule 2. The amendment is
requested to permit a 190 square metre (2,045 square foot) commemial unit within the plaza to be
used for a billiard and pool hall.
The lands are zoned Tourist Commercial (TC). The applicant is requesting a billiard and pool hall
to be site specifically added to the list of uses permitted.
The applicant has indicated the establishment will have approximately four billiard tables and will
include a small caf6.
Surrounding Land Uses
To the west and south of the lands are commercial uses, including motels, a coffee shop and plazas.
Some legal non-conforming detached dwellings tie to the east of the land. To the north is a
residential subdivision.

Circulation Comments
· Regional Municipality of Niagara This application is minor from a Regional
and Provincial planning perspective. There
are no objections from Regional Planning
staff.
· City Clerk Both the billiard/pool hall and proposed
restaurant will require business licences.
· Municipal Works no objections
· Parks, Recreation & Culture no objections
In addition, two letters have been received from residents in the neighbourhood, concerned about
the possibility of noise and boisterous activity from this use and the potential ora liquor license.
Planning Review
1. The proposal complies with the intent and the purpose of the Official Plan.
The land is designated Tourist Commercial in the Official Plan and is part of the Lundy's
Lane Satellite District. This district is intended to provide a wide range of small to medium
scale retail commercial and tourist commercial uses. Retail uses are intended to support the
major tourist related functions of this designation.
The proposed billiard and pool hall use meets the intent of this District's policies. This use
is a small-scale commercial use that will provide a service to tourists visiting the area. In
addition, this entertainment use can serve the surrounding community.
2. The proposed zoning amendment is appropriate.
The land is zoned Tourist Commercial (TC). A wide range of commercial, retail and
entertainment uses, that serve both tourist and the surrounding community, is permitted.
Since 1979, billiard and pool halls have not been permitted, as of right, in any zone in the
City. At the time, this use was seen as potentially problematic. Council has chosen the
opportunity to review this use on a site-by-site basis through site specific Zoning By4aw
amendments. In the past 25 years, Council has approved a number of zoning amendments
to permit billiard and pool halls in plazas similar to the one on the subject property. In 1992,
Council passed a zoning by-law amendment to permit a billiard hall a couple of properties
away from the subject plaza, at 8209 Lundy's Lane. Although the billiard hall operated for
a number of years the City has no record of complaints relating to its use.
The owner is proposing a caf6 along with several billiard/pool tables. The proposed use is
consistent with the wide range of commercial and entertainment uses already permitted in
the zone. Similar types of uses, including roller skating rinks or dance halls, are permitted
in this zone, and a billiard/pool hall is not unlike a restaurant that has a couple of pool tables
as an accessory use. The proposed by-law would limit the size of the uses to the current size
proposed to ensure the billiard/pool hall remains a small-scale use.
December 6, 2004 - 3 - PD-2004-109
At one time billiard halls would sometimes locate in the basements or upper floors of
buildings, causing some difficulty in policing and sometimes being poorly maintained. In
this aspect, plazas are omen good locations as building and property standards are generally
enforced by plaza owners, and individual units usually have visibility from streets, providing
surveillance. The design of this plaza should alleviate concerns about security. The building
will have clear sight lines at the front from Lundy's Lane and at the rear from the abutting
commercial property. These sight lines should provide good natural surveillance. In
addition, the plaza is to be properly lit.
Although this request conforms to the intent of the Official Plan, and is considered
appropriate, Council should have regard for public comments and should assure itself that
any concerns about the operation and social aspects of the proposed are addressed.
CONCLUSION:
The application can be supported for the following reasons:
· The proposed use conforms to the intent and purpose of the Official Plan;
The proposed use is a small-scale use that is consistent with the type and scale of uses
already permitted in the zone;
· The design of the building, site plan standards and the licensing of the facility should
alleviate any concerns about the operation of the facility.

Dear Mr. Darbyson and City Council;
I am writing to you in regards to the proposed Zoning bylaw amendment, which would
allow for a pool and billiard hall within the plaza now being constructed at 8123 Lundy's
Lane in the city of Niagara Falls.
I would like to express my views in regards to such a Zoning amendment. I would not be
in support of this amendment for the following reasons.
Noise. Res/dents along the Spring Blossom Drive area are already subject to a large
amount of noise that comes fi.om, traffic, the car wash at the comer of Lundy's Lane and
Kalar Rd., and traffic and numing cars at the Tim Horton's Drive Thru. There have also
been incidences in which residents have had to phone police because of late night
disturbances and/or fights in the Tim Horton lot and outs/de of the neighboring Legends
bar. The possibility of loud music, patrons coming and going from the billiard hall at late
hours is neither suitable nor acceptable to residents who already cannot open their
windows for the noise.
Because of the no-smoking bylaws in the region, I am concerned that groups of
patrons who smoke will do so at the rear of the bu/lding. It is not likely that neighboring
units will want smokers loitering in front of their businesses and this will inevitably push
the patrons to the rear. Th/s aga/n will lead to noise in daytime and late evening hours.
As well as depending on the number of smokers, bad odor may be an intermittent
problem.
Will the billiard hall owner apply for a liquor license? In the short distance fi.om
Kalar Rd. to where this plaza is located there are already 3 establishments within these
plazas that possess liquor licenses. How many licensed establishments could possibly be
needed within 500 meters of each other, so close to a residential area?
The applicant is proposing a cafe/restaurant and plans to include approximately 4 pool
tables. What if the applicant is not successful w/th the restaurant port/on of the business?
Could he change his establishment to include several billiard tables, alcohol being served,
and no restaurant7
RECEIVED
NOV 2 2004
PLANNING
& DEVELOPMENT
I am also concerned about declining property value as more businesses that attract noise
and late night patrons continue to spring up in this area, the homes will become less
desirable to purchase.
The plaza owner has built an area suitable, and attractive building and there are several
businesses that residents of this area could truly use, and patronize. Some examples are;
a drug store, a dry cleaner, a hank, a dental/medical office, a stationary store, a post
office, a family oriented restaurant that is not a "bar", commercial offices for small
business owners. The plaza owner should have no shortage of suitable tenants.
When I bought a home in this area, little did I realize that eventually I would not be able
to even let my children walk to the comer store to buy a popsicle on a hot summer day, to
Tim Horton's for a donut, orto the dollar store because I would have to be overly
concerned for their safety considering the following:
At this small area jast west and east of Kalar Road we are already plagued with adult
entertainment venues, massage parlors that were approved after the majority of homes
were already built, a bar with a patio that doesn't have a barrier, homeless people and
prostitution.
So in summary I ask that you take under consideration that residents here deserve and
need some reprieve, and decline the application to amend the zoning bylaw.

Dear Mr. Darbyson:
RE: City File Number AM-51/2004
I received a copy of the Public Notice Meeting for the meeting to be held on December 6,
2004, with respect to the land known as 8123 Lundy's Lane (pool and billiard hall). Our Company
owns and operates the Howard Johnson Express Inn located directly across the street.
We are very concerned with the establishment cfa pool and billiard hall in an area that is
Residential and Tourist Commercial. We do not think this is the proper area for this type of use.
We are opposed to the Application because this use will interfere with the quiet surroundings.
We ask that you let all of the City Council Members know that we are opposed to this
Application.

Re: PD-2004-113, Zoning By-law Amendment Application
AM-43/2004, 4354 Drummond Road
Applicant: Kargo Properties Inc.
Requested Increase in Building Height to Accommodate a Proposed
5-Storey Mixed Use Residential/Commercial Building
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that Council approve the requested Zoning By-law amendment application to permit
an increased building height to accommodate a 5-storey mixed use residential/commercial building.
BACKGROUND:
Kargo Properties Inc. has requested an amendment to the Zoning By-law for a 0.4 hectare (1.l i acre)
parcel of land known as 4354 Drummond Road, as shown on Schedule 1. The amendment is requested
to increase the maximum building height. A 5-storey mixed use commercial/residential building with
1,225 square metres (13,186 square feet) of commercial floor space and 12 residential units is proposed
fronting onto Drummond Road, as shown on Schedule 2.
The land is zoned General Commercial (GC) which permits a maximum building height of 12 metres
(39.4 feet). The applicant is requesting site specific provisions to permit the proposed building to have
a height of 19 metres (62 feet).
Surrounding Land Uses
The subject site is located near the southerly limits of the Stamford Retail District. A variety of
commemial uses lie to the north and the south of the site. Immediately to the south of the site are a
number of former residential lots and dwellings that have been converted to small-scale commemial or
mixed use developments. A mix of commercial and industrial uses lie to the east of Portage Road.
Immediately to the west lies the Glengate Community Church, with a mix of housing types to the north
and west of this church.

Circulation Comments
· Municipal Works Adequate services are available £or thc development.
Sidewalks arc required to be built on both
Drummond Road and Portage Road.
Development charges are payable at building permit
issuance.
A 1.5 metre (5 foot) road widening is required along
Portage Road, and a 3 metro (10 foot) road widening
is required along Drununond Road.
· Parks Recreation & Culture No objections
· Regional Municipality of Niagara This proposal will implement a number of Smart
Growth Principles related to the encouragement of
mixed uses and higher density development. This
development should be consistent with existing
development. Regional Planning staff supports the
proposal.
Planning Review:
1. The proposal complies with the intent and purpose of the Official Plan.
The land is designated Major Commemial in the Official Plan and is part of the Stamford Retail
District which is to provide a full range of retail outlets, personal service shops and office space
to meet the weekly shopping requirements of residents. The consolidation of properties and the
intensification of land uses is encouraged in the Official Plan to strengthen the commercial
viability of the area.
The development complies with the intent and purpose of the Official Plan as follows:
· The proposed development is a mixed use building with 2 floors of commercial space and 3
floors of apartments. Mixed use development is encouraged by the Official Plan. Good site
design will be utilized to ensure a harmonious mix of residential-commercial land uses.
· The additional building height is requested, in part, to allow the residential component of the
development to be intensified. This could help to strengthen the commercial viability of the
Retail District and may encourage further development therein.
· The height (5 storeys) and density (27 units/hectare) of this development is acceptable for this
district.
· The proposed location of the building on the property and the provision of a peaked roof will
assist in mitigating impacts on abutting properties.
· There is ample room on the site to provide amenity space for the residents. Provision of
adequate amenity space will be implemented through the site plan process.
December 6, 2004 - 3 - PD-2004-113
2. The proposed zoning amendment is appropriate.
The property's GC zoningallowsamaximumbuildingheightof12metres(39 feet) withno front
and side yard setbacks. The maximum building height is requested to be increased to 19 metres
(62 feet) to accommodate a 5th storey and a sloped roof. The building's walls (to the top of the 5th
storey) are proposed to be 14.5 metres (47.5 feet) high. To mitigate the additional height of the
building, thc applicant proposes to provide setbacks of 3.2 metres (10 feet) from the southerly side
yard, 9 metres (30 feet) from thc northerly side yard and 21 metres (70 feet) from Drummond
Road. The front and side yard setbacks are in excess of the current requirements and will assist
in mitigating any impacts on Drummond Road and the abutting properties. As shadowing by this
building is not anticipated to affect properties to the south, the southerly side yard setback is
acceptable.
The requirements of the Ontario Building Code (OBC) may necessitate an increased building
setback from the south property line or a reduction in the size and number of window openings.
Thc OBC measures will be determined and implemented by City staffthrough the site plan control
process and building permits.
CONCLUSION:
The request can be supported for the following reasons:
· The proposal conforms with the intent and purpose of the Official Plan to provide mixed use
development and intensification in the Stamford Major Commercial district;
The requested height and density is acceptable for this district;
· It represents an intensification that could strengthen the commemial viability of the district and
could spur further development in this area; and,
The proposed location of the building on the property will assist in mitigating impacts on abutting
properties.

Dear Mr. Darbyson:
Re: Zoning By-law Amendment Application
Mixed Commercial/Residential Use
Drummond Road, north of William Street
City of Niagara Falls
Your File No: AM-43/2004
This application proposes the rezoning of a property to permit the construction of a 5-storey
mixed use building with two floors for commercial uses and 12 residential units. The
property is zoning "General Commercial (GC)" which allows the proposed uses but limits
any building to a maximum height of 12 metres (39.4 feet). The proposed amendment
would add a site specific provision to the GC zoning on the property to increase the
maximum allowable building height to 19 metres (62 feet).
These lands are located within the Regional Urban Areas Boundaries and are designated
"Major Commercial" by the Niagara Falls Official Plan. The Major Commercial policies
permit mixed use developments as well as a full range of retail outlets, personal service
shops and office space. The proposed development should be consistent with the
surrounding area between Drummond Road and Portage Road which contains a mixture of
commercial and residential uses. This proposal will implement a number of Smart Growth
principles related to the encouragement of mixed uses and higher density development.
In conclusion, Regional Planning staff support the adoption of the proposed zoning
amendment.

Re: PD-2004-116, Zoning By-law Amendment Application
AM-50/2004, Graham Street (South Side)
Applicant: Vincent Marinelli (Agent - John Marinelli)
Special Residential Dwelling Setbacks and Lot Frontage
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that Council approve the Zoning By-law amendment application as detailed in
this report to provide site specific R1D zoning standards to allow the construction of two single-
detached dwellings.
BACKGROUND:
The amendment is requested to satisfy a condition of provisional consent recently granted by the
City's Committee of Adjustment (File B63/2004/NF). The applicant proposes a severance of the
land that would result in two lots for single-detached dwellings with frontage on Graham Street. The
location of the property is shown on Schedule 1. The proposed configuration of the lots (Part 1 and
Part 2) is shown on Schedule 2. The property is currently zoned Residential Single Family ID
Density (RID). The applicant has requested the addition of site specific zoning standards to provide
special dwelling setbacks on both proposed lots and to allow a reduced lot frontage for Part 2.
Circulation Comments
Information on the requested zoning amendment was cimulated to City divisions, the Region,
agencies and the public for comment. The following summarizes the comments received to date:
· Municipal Works No objections. Conditions of the severance
application address servicing issues.
· Parks, Recreation & Culture No objection.
· Regional Planning & Development No objection to proposed rezoning.

December 6, 2004 - 2 - PD-2004~116
Planning Review
Various matters were considered in assessing the application. Based on this analysis, approval is
recommended with minor modifications. The review of the amendment is summarized as follows:
1. The proposal complies with the policies of the Official Plan.
The City's Official Plan designates the property Residential. A compatible mix of housing
types and lot sizes is promoted by the Plan to provide a full range of housing opportunities.
The new Graham Street Extension subdivision is located to the north and contains lots for
single-detached homes. Semi-detached housing is to the east and southeast. An apartment
building abuts the subject land to the south. There is a single-detached dwelling to the west
that has zoning approval to operate a food catering/take-out business within a portion of the
premises. The potential development of the applicant's land was considered during the
review of the abutting subdivision in 2002. At that time, it was acknowledged that a wide
and shallow lot accessing the internal street would result with the approval of the plan. Staff
indicated that with the large parcel size, an additional lot could possibly be created but that
special zoning regulations would be necessary. The proposed lots and dwellings (with
appropriate setbacks) will be compatible with the surrounding development.
2. The requested amendment, with minor modifications, is appropriate.
The addition of site specific provisions to the existing R1D zoning is proposed to allow the
construction of dwellings on the land. The following chart indicates the existing zoning
requirements and the requested special standards for the parcels:
Zoning Provision Requirement Part 1 Part 2
Minimum lot 15 metres no change 5.9 metres
frontage
Minimum front 6 metres dwelling - 4.6 metres 1.2 metres
yard depth garage - 6.1 metres
Minimum rear 7.5 metres 1.2 metres 1.2 metres
yard depth
Minimum interior 1, 1½, split - 1.2 metres east - 7.6 metres east - 9.1 metres
side yard width 2 storey - 1.8 metres west - 9.1 metres west - 7.6 metres
The Zoning By-law defines yard setbacks in relation to the public street. Thc proposed
parcels exceed the minimum lot area requirement (450 square metres/4,844 square feet) and
are larger than the subdivision lots to the north. However, the orientation of thc proposed
lots to the road is not typical and application of the normal zoning requirements for "yards"
would render the subject parcels undevelopahle. Part 1 is similar to a corner lot where thc
house faces thc longer street exposure and an amenity ama is to thc side of thc dwelling. Thc
proposed home on Part 2 would face east or toward thc bend in thc roadway with the amenity
space to the rear (west yard). Based on this positioning of thc dwellings, staff recommend
setbacks from the parcel boundaries as shown in the following chart. An illustration of these
minimum setbacks and possible building areas is included on Schedule 3.
December 6, 2004 - 3 - PD-2004-116
Recommended Setback Part 1 Part 2
North lot line (minimum) dwelling - 4.5 metres 1, 1½, split - 1.2 metres
garage - 6 metres 2 storey - 1.8 metres
South lot line (minimum) 1, 1½, split - 1.2 metres 1, 1½, split - 1.2 metres
2 storey- 1.8 metres 2 storey- 1.8 metres
East lot line (minimum) 1, 1½, split - 1.2 metros 9 metres
2 storey - 1.8 metres
West lot line (minimum) 9 metres (parking prohibited) 7.5 metres
The recommended provisions will ensure privacy, safety/maintenance, appropriate amenity
areas and a desirable streetscape. The resulting potential building envelopes are large but
will be reduced by the maximurn 40% lot coverage zoning requirement and the design of the
homes. Typical setbacks are applied to the sides of the proposed dwellings and at the south
of Part 1 abutting the apartment development. The different standards from Graham Street
for the dwelling and garage portions of a house on Part 1 provide space to park a vehicle in
the driveway on the property and will establish a setback consistent with the exterior side
yard of the comer lot to the east. The increased distance to the west lot line of Part 1
separates potential driveway entrances on the curve of the street and allows a consolidated
amenity area. The east limit setback requirement for Part 2 is to accotnmodate the driveway
area and allow potential green space in front of the house. The limited frontage of Part 2
provides vehicle access and is acceptable for this unique property configuration. Additional
zoning provisions will need to be addressed in the detailed implementing by-law with respect
to such matters as the location of accessory buildings and structures, permitted yard
projections and the special/average dwelling setback requirement.
CONCLUSION:
Approval of the zoning amendment would satisfy a condition of the severance required to create the
proposed lots and allow the construction of a single-detached dwelling on each parcel. The
development will be compatible with the surrounding uses and complies with Official Plan policies.
The modified zoning amendment, as detailed in this report, is recommended for approval.

Re: Zoning By-law Amendment Application
Proposed Residential Lots
Graham Street, west of Delta Drive
City of Niagara Falls
Your File No: AM-50/2004
This application proposes the rezoning of two residential lots that were the subject of
Consent Application B63/2004/NF. The rezoning will provide site specific provisions for
the dwelling setbacks and for the reduced lot frontage of one lot (Part 2). The rezoning
will satisfy a condition of consent approval granted by the City's Committee of
Adjustment.
Regional Planning staff had no objections to the approval of Consent Application
B63/2004/NF. Similarly, we are not opposed to the adoption of the related zoning
amendment to implement the consent.

Re: PD-2004-115, Zoning By-law Amendment Application
AM-45/2004, 5816 & 5846 Drummond Road
Applicant: MJgdalos Investments Ltd.
Agent: Grant Sauder, Architect
Proposed Commercial Plaza Expansion
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that Council approve the application to amend the Zoning By-law for 5816 and
5846 Drummond Road conditional on the expansion being limited to 356 square metres (3,618
square feet) and a 6 metre (19.6 foot) wide landscaping strip being provided along the rear property
line, and further that the 5 foot variance to the north be allowed and subject
to the fencing being in place to the north and east of the property and that
BACKGROUND: the garbage be contained inside the building.
The application involves two parcels of land having a combined area of 0.3 ha (0.7 ac), located on
the northeast comer of Drummond Road and Lundy's Lane, as shown on Schedule 1. Parcel 1 is
currently vacant; Parcel 2 is currentlyoccupied by a one-storey, 446 square metre (4,800 square foot)
commercial plaza. The applicant proposes a 336 square metre (3,816 square foot) expansion to the
plaza northwards onto Parcel 1. A 47 square metre (512 square foot) addition to the front of the
building is also proposed. Detail are shown on Schedule 2.
The lands are zoned Residential Single Family 1E Density (RI E; Parcel 1) and General Commercial
(GC; Parcel 2). A site specific GC zone is requested for the entire lands with a reduction in the rear
yard setback from 3.0 metres (10 feet) to 1.5 metres (5 feet).
Until recently, Parcel 1 had been occupied by a single detached dwelling. Parcel 1 was sold to the
applicant because the previous owner had difficulty renting the house due to the close proximity of
the existing plaza and the associated impacts.

Surrounding Land Uses
The lands south, east and west along Lundy's Lane are a variety of tourist commercial uses. North
of the site along Drummond Road, single detached dwellings are found on the cast side with
Stamford High School on the west side.
Circulation Comments
Information regarding the application was circulated to City departments, government agencies and
the public for comment.
· Municipal Works
Transportation Planning Although a 2.3 metre (7.8 foot) road widening
has been shown, and previously agreed to, a
full 3.05 metre (10 foot) road widening is
preferred and can be accommodated by using
3.05 metre (10 foot) wide parking stalls which
require a lesser manoeuvring aisle width.
Infrastructure No objections.
· Parks, Recreation & Culture 2% cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication will be
collected at site plan approval.
Planning Analysis
1. The Official Plan requires new development to be designed to achieve compatibility
with the surrounding area.
Parcel 2 is designated Tourist Commercial in the Official Plan and is part of the Lundy's
Lane Tourist District. Lundy's Lane is a multi-functional district catering to both tourists and
local residents. One of the objectives of the Plan's Tourist Commemial policies is to ensure
that tourism development does not adversely affect the quality of life enjoyed in residential
neighbourhoods. Minor encroachments into residential areas can only be supported ifa site
is designed to effectively screen and buffer the commercial activities. To achieve this, the
orientation of the subject development should be toward Lundy's Lane, not Drummond
Road, with the rear (northerly) portion being well set back and providing the necessary
screening and buffering to the residential lands.
The proposed expansion is illustrated on the site plan, Schedule 2. The plaza is to be set
back over 21 metres (70 feet) from Lundy's Lane. The built form regulations for Lundy's
Lane contained within the Tourist Area Development Application Guidelines states that a
uniform 18 metre (60 foot) setback should be sought along Lundy's Lane. Typically this
setback should include a 6 metre (20 foot) strip of landscaping, one row of parking and a
manoeuvring aisle. This design could be accommodated, however, the applicant has
expressed a desire to retain as much parking along Lundy's Lane as possible and is only
interested in providing 3 metres (10 feet) of landscaping. If intensely planted, this should be
acceptable.
December 6, 2004 - 3 - PD-2004-115
The rear of the expansion is proposed to be set back 1.5 metres (5 feet) from the north
property line. This setback has been proposed by the applicant in order to limit accessibility
to the rear of the property. The applicant has advised that there are significant securityissues
and vandalism occurring with the property. Thus, the architect has designed the site to limit
open areas in order to attempt to improve security conditions. However, not only would the
1.5 metre (5 foot) setback not be compatible with the neighbouring residential property and
represent an intrusion ora commercial property into a neighbourhood, it may not be the best
approach to improve security. The parking area, as shown on the site plan, is set back 6
metres (20 feet) from the north property line. The same setback should be provided by the
building in order to properly screen and buffer the neighbouring residential property and to
focus the development more toward Lundy's Lane. The setback area should be landscaped
with deciduous trees and the proposed closed board fence extended to 1.8 metres (6 feet)
instead of the 1.5 metre (5 feet) height that is noted on the plan. The landscaped area could
also have lighting and security cameras installed. Chain-link fencing could be erected to
secure the area. The rear wall of the building could be built with windows. Such a design
serves to increase the visibility of the rear area thereby improving security. Also, garbage
should be stored within the building to avoid impacts on the neighbouring residents and to
reduce hidden areas. The result of these modifications will be a reduction in the floor area
of the proposed addition.
2. A site specific General Commercial (GC) zone is appropriate.
The applicant has requested a site specific GC zone be applied to the lands. The zoning of
5816 Drummond Road is requested to be changed from R1E to GC and relief is being sought
for the proposed 1.5 metre (5 foot) rear yard setback. As noted above, the rear setback
should be increased to 6 metres (20 feet). Thus, while a site specific GC zoning is
appropriate, it is recommended that the amending by-law include provisions for the 6 metre
(20 foot) setback and landscape strip and to limit the floor area of the additions to a
maximum of 336 square metres 3,618 square feet).
3. The site plan agreement process will further address site design details.
The owner will have to enter into a site plan agreement for the proposed development. At
this stage, landscaping, servicing and fire access issues will be addressed. It should be noted
here that previous negotiations with the applicant respecting a road widening dedication
along Drummond Road concluded with the applicant agreeing to dedicate a 2.3 metre (7.8
foot) widening instead of the requested 3 metre (10 foot) widening due to the parking area
constraints. However, further analysis indicates that the applicant could utilize 3 metre (10
foot) parking stall widths, thereby allowing a narrower manoeuvring aisle width to be used.
This would enable the dedication of the full 3 metre (10 foot) widening. This can be
addressed also at the site plan agreement stage.
December 6, 2004 - 4 - PD-2004-115
CONCLUSION:
Based on the foregoing, an amendment to the Zoning By-law for a proposed expansion to the
commercial plaza at 5846 Drummond Road can be recommended for approval conditional upon:
the expansion of the plaza being limited to 336 square metres (3,618 square feet);
a 6 metre (20 foot) landscaped strip being provided along the rear property line in order to
effectively screen and buffer the residential properties from the impacts of the plaza; and
· garbage being stored internally.

Drummond Road and Lundy's Lane
CI~ of Niagara Falls
Your File No: AM4~12004
This appli~tion proposes the rezoning of ~o par~ls to pe~it an e~,.pansion of a ~mmercial plaza.
The larger pardi ~n~ins an existing pla~ while the smaller pardi I.o the no~h cu~ently ~ntains a
dwelling and is zoned for residential purposes, The proposed rezoning would allow an expansion of the
plaza onto the nodherly parcel and would provide for a redu~d rear yard setback.
The ~o parcels are lo.ted well within the Regional Urban Areas Boundaries. The Niagara Fails ~cial
Plan designates lands on both sides of Lundy's Lane as "Toudst Commercial" while lands to the no~h
am designated "Residential". Both parcels to be ~zoned back onto a ~tel pro~ and the depth ef
the expanded pla~ from Lundy's Lane is generally ~nsistent with the e~ent of adja~nt tourist
~mmerclal development. On this basis, it appears that the e~anded i:~la~ would fall entirely within the
"Tourist Commercial" designation. The Toudst Commercial policies po'mit suppling retail uses in this
area. Therefore, the rezoning for the expanded ~mmercial pla~ wou~d ~nfo~ with the Ci~'s O~cial
Plan and the Regional Poli~ Plan.
The expanded plaza will abut a residential area to the nodh. However, 'lhe existing plaza already abu~ a
residential propeKy (Pardi 1 which is the subje~ of this appli~tion). In addition, the site plan proposes
the installation of a 5 foot high de~rative wood fen~ along the no,hotly prope~ boundaw to buffer the
abutting residential propedies f~m the expanded plaza. Therefore, the pla~ expansion should not
result in increased Impacts on the residential area,
In conclusion, Regional Planning staff are not opposed to the adopticn of the proposed mzoning from
Regional and Provincial planning pempectives.

Re: PD-2004-117, Site Plan Application
SPC-18/2004, 6169 Garner Road
Applicant: Niagara Falls Golf Course Ltd.
Golf Course Expansion
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that Council endorse the site plan application for an expansion to the existing
golf course, as shown on Schedule 1.
BACKGROUND:
Proposal
Niagara Falls Golf Course Ltd. has submitted a site plan application for an expansion of the existing
golf course to include a driving range north of the clubhouse. Schedule 1 shows an overview of the
club house and driving range, while Schedules 2 and 3 identify landscaping in proximity to the
abutting properties on Garner Road.
On January 19, 2004, Council approved a Zoning By-law amendment application to permit, among
other things, the expansion of the legal non-conforming golf course on Parcel 1 (see Schedule 4).
As there were a number of site plan related matters raised by adjacent residents Council directed that
residents be involved in the site plan process.
Formal neighbourhood meetings were held on June 24, 2004 (shortly after submission of the initial
site plan) and on November 25, 2004, after further plans were revised and submitted, and a drainage
scheme was determined. Donna and Nick Mino of 6101 Garner Road, Ted and Charlotte Kudlac
at 6149 Garner Road and Mr. and Mrs. Baldinelli of 9268 Lundy's Lane were all in attendance.
Concerns include flooding, zoning by-law concerns, buffering and landscaping, ball netting, lighting,
noise, ground water quality and signage as detailed below.
Working Together to Serve Our Community
Clerks Finance Human Resources · Information Systems · Legal · Planning & Development
December 6, 2004 - 2 - PD-2004~117
Although site plan approval has been delegated to the Director of Planning and Development,
Council's endorsement is sought due to the public interest in this development. This report contains
a point-by-point synopsis of the residents concerns listed above and how they will be addressed.
1. Flooding Concerns
The properties on Garner Road have been affected by historic flooding problems that the
residents feel have worsened ever since grading changes on the golf course lands have
occurred. Municipal Works staff is currently working on the engineering design that will
determine the size of the piping to be constructed across the new practice facility. This outlet
will serve to drain Garner Road and adjacent lands. The final design and applications for
approval are scheduled for completion early in January.
The storm sewer project is expected to be constructed in two stages. The portion that
traverses the golf course will be constructed by the owner (at his request) within the next 3
months, weather permitting. The City will share in the costs of this project and assume
ownership of the completed sewer. An easement in favour of the City will be registered on
title to ensure access for any required inspection, maintenance or repairs.
The second stage will involve the construction of a storm sewer along the south lot line of
the property known as 6051 Garner Road which will convey flows from Garner Road to the
Stage 1 outlet. This work will be done at the City's expense as a Capital Works project
(pending the availability of funds in the Capital Works Budget). Once again, an easement in
favour .of the City will be registered on title to ensure access for anyinspection, maintenance
or repairs.
Preliminary cost estimates for the entire project total $60,000, however, the final cost sharing
details are still under negotiation. As an interim measure, Operations staff is undertaking
some routine maintenance of the existing ditches and culverts in the area. The project is
expected to be completed within the next 6-8 months with favourable weather and quick
turnaround time for approvals. Municipal Works staffhas indicated this solution will provide
the adjacent landowners with a much better level of protection and will be consistent with
standards in place for new developments, although flooding could still occur in extreme
storm events. Clauses will be added to the site plan agreement to ensure these works occur
and the appropriate securities will be obtained at the time of execution of the site plan
agreement.
2. By-law No. 2004-46 does not include Parcel 2.
Schedule 4 is the schedule from By-law No. 2004-46, the by-law that permits expansion of
the golf course. This Schedule identifies (as Parcel 2) the part of the golf course that was not
included in this Bylaw. The residents note that it appeared Council's intent was to include
this land in the site specific Zoning By-law.
Staff initially recommended to Council that Parcel 2 be included with Parcel 1 (the existing
golf course) in the site specific by-law. However, at the time of the preparation of By-law
2004-46, the applicant requested Parcel 2 not be included in this site specific By-law. Staff
concurred with this request for the following reasons:
· Parcel 2 is under a site specific Open Space (OS-68) zone that already permits a golf
course and driving range.
December 6, 2004 - 3 - PD-2004-'117
· Under the 0S-68 zone, no buildings or structures are permitted on Parcel 2 until
municipal water and sewers are available. Parcel 1 is not subject to the same
requirements. It is not appropriate to lift this requirement at this time by including this
parcel in the same zoning as Parcell.
· The buildings and structures associated with the golf course continue to be located on
Parcel 1 only, as shown on the attached Schedule 1. To address resident's concerns, a
site specific side yard setback of 25 metres (82 feet) for a utility building and shelters
associated with the driving range was imposed on Parcel 1, where these structures are
proposed.
· Site plan control can be used to implement Council's intent of integrating the two
parcels into a single development scheme. Concems about drainage, buffering and ball
netting to mitigate impacts are being addressed through the site plan process.
· Notice of the passage of this by-law, including the schedule identifying that zoning
affects Parcel 1 only, was mailed to adjacent property owners as per Planning Act
requirements.
In summary, By-law No. 2004-46 and the site plan process are following Council's intent.
3. Buffering and Landscaping
The neighbouring residents requested that the golf driving and chipping activities be set back
25 metres (82 feet) from their properties. The Zoning By-law establishes setbacks for
buildings and structures, not activities that are permitted by the Zoning By-law, therefore this
request cannot be imposed.
A buffer approximately 9 metres (29.5 feet) in width is shown abutting the golf driving
range. Landscaped buffers typically required between residential and commemial uses are
3 metres (10 feet) wide and include a single row of trees. The landscaped buffer achieved
through this plan is in excess of what most site plan agreements require.
Currently, an 8 foot high fence behind the Mino's and a single to double row of trees (white
spruce) is identified as existing on the site plan, behind both neighbours. This abuts both the
driving range and the existing putting practice area. Given the large crown of these trees at
maturity the City's landscape architect advises that the existing trees should provide adequate
screening. In fact, more plantings may crowd trees. However, the applicant has proposed
to supplement this landscaping with a 1.8 metre (6 foot) high closed-board fence adjacent to
the driving/chipping range, seven additional trees around this fence and 13 additional trees
along the driving range, behind Mr. & Mrs. Mino's. All fencing and trees are to be
maintained and replaced as necessary under the site plan agreement. In addition, 10 trees are
to be placed behind Mr. & Mrs. Baldinelli's home on Lundy's Lane.
4. Ball Netting
The site plan identifies ball netting along the driving range, intended to deflect errant golf
balls from abutting properties. Initially, this netting was shown extending 30 metres (100
feet) from the driving range. The proposed netting has been moved closer to the driving
range and now extends 15 metres ( 50 feet) from the end of the wood fencing. This netting
December 6, 2004 - 4 - PD-2004-117
is about 3.8 metres (12.5 feet) high. Attached is a letter from the applicant's netting
consultant, who indicated this netting will suffice in deflecting errant golf balls a~vay from
abutting property owners. In addition, a ball net 3 metres (10 feet) high and 4.8 metres (16
feet) wide will be erected adjacent to Mr. & Mrs. Baldinelli's property to intercept balls
heading toward their property.
5. Lighting
There are concerns about the impact of lighting for the driving range. The site plan
agreement will require lighting to be directed or shielded away so as to not project on the
abutting properties.
6. Noise, Hours of Operation
The residents have expressed concern about the operation of machinery very early in the
morning and noise from the clubhouse area and from golfers. These matters cannot be
controlled through the site plan process. Noise complaints should be addressed through the
City' Noise By-law.
7. Ground Water Quality
Concerns about pesticide use on the golf range and its impact on ground water were raised.
With respect to groundwater contamination, the Region previously indicated that well water
and aquifer on the golf course should be tested by a qualified environmental consultant to
assure that groundwater is not impacted. Staff at the Golf course indicated well water has
been previously tested. To ensure any future owner continues this practice, a clause should
be added to the agreement indicating that testing of the water shall be done to the satisfaction
of the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) and the results provided to the appropriate
authorities. MOE advises that anyone who is responsible for contaminating groundwater
would be responsible for providing potable water to affected persons.
8. Signage
Mr. & Mrs. Baldinelli had concerns about billboards placed by the applicant along Lundy's
Lane (later taken down) and potential safety concerns. Typically, proposed signs are
identified on a site plan drawing to coordinate their location with other works, such as
landscaping. However, signs are regulated by the Sign By-law, not by the site plan
agreement. Staff will monitor this situation to ensure the proper permits are obtained and all
by-law standards are met. The proliferation of billboard signs is a City-wide issue. The
safety concerns raised by Mr. & Mrs. Baldinelli point to the need for the City to continue its
Sign By-law review and implement the appropriate standards.
9. Speed Limit on Lundy's Lane
Mr. & Mrs. Baldinelli expressed a concern about the speed limit on Lundy's Lane, west of
Garner Road, and pointed to numerous accidents that have occurred. This issue is unrelated
to the site plan and Lundy's Lane is a Regional Road. Council may wish to request the
Region study the speed limit on Lundy's Lane.
December 6, 2004 - 5 - PD-2004-117
CONCLUSION
The development of this site has had a considerable amount of public interest. The site plan shown
in Schedule 1, while it may not be to the complete satisfaction of all parties, attempts to balance the
needs of all involved. Therefore, it is recommended for endorsement by Council.

Board of Management
November 12, 2004
Mayor R. (Ted) Salci &
Members of Niagara Falls City Council
Dear Mayor Salci & Aldermen:
On behalf of the Nomination Chairman, please be advised that Naomi Furmston, one of
the elected officers to the Downtown Board of Management has recently resigned due to
a pregnancy. At a regular Board meeting held November 10, 2004 the Board selected
David Haggerty of Rainbow Publications as her replacement.
At that same meeting the Board also selected Joe Mrkalj as an additional member in light
of the reduction in Council membership.
City Council is being asked to ratify the appointment of these new members to the Board.
Respectfully submitted

Subject: Re: Number of Board Members
Dorothy:
With regard to vacancies, the Municipal Act (s.204) states the following:
Subject to subsection (9), if a vacancy occurs for any cause, the municipality may appoint a
person to fill the vacancy for the unexpired portion of the term and the appointed person is not
required to be a member of the improvement area.
Subsection 9 does seem to allow for a Board to select or elect replacements.
Therefore, my interpretation is that the BIA would forward the name(s) to Council for Council's ratification.
This is also consistent with your constitution.
VVhere your constitution is lacking is there is no stipulation on how the BrA would put forward the name to
fill the vacancy to Council What if a member of the BIA wanted to fill the vacancy? They might have a
legitimate gripe about how the name was put forward to Council. I think the constitution should road
something to the effect that when a vacancy occurs, the Board will have the authority to put forward a
name from its membership for Council's approval.
As for the numbers, I think you could make the argument that in light of the reduction of the Council
component that a extra person be appointed from the BIA membership.
I have just sent you a copy of the new Municipal handbook (it went out yesterday). In light of the new
book, I think it may be an appropriate time for the BIA to look at its constitution and make changes. I
definitely think you should have some rules rolated to Associate members i.e. when would you accept
such members, why, what would the associates' rights be etc.
Finally, with rogard to the vacancy, I suggest that you send me a letter for Council suggesting the
roplacement for Naomi and the additional member in light of the reduction in Council membership.
Thanks
Dean

Hi Dean:
Once again questions:
Constitution roads 11 members (2 from Council)-(we know that 2 is not possible) = 9
BIA handbook reads 5-10 members.
We had 9 + 1 Associate (Dennis Savriga) + Mayor
As you are aware, Naomi Furmston resigned her post (she had a baby)--we had 8 + 1 Associate + Mayor
At last night's meeting the Board "interviewed" David Haggedy of Rainbow Publishing, and decided that
they would like to have David sit on our Board,
They would also like to have Joe Mrkjal of the Daily Planet to be on the Board.
This would make our Board 10 + 1 Associate + Mayor -- is this ok? (can we expand our Boarad
Members?)--or should one of these people be Associate members???
Thanks

Rule 2 of the Standing Rules of Conncil (By-law 89-155) state that" ...meetings of the Council shall
be held in accordance" with a Schedule that forms part of the by-law. As a result, on an annual basis,
a new schedule is put forward for Council's consideration for the upcoming calendar year.
Although there has been a call from some Council members for weekly meetings, once again, staff
has tried to balance the need for regular meetings with the need for ample staff preparation time.
With weekly meetings, staff's time is almost solely comprised of Council report and agenda
activities, leaving little time for other responsibilities or strategic planning.
It should be stressed that if matters arise that require immediate attention, the Standing Rules allow
the Head of Council to call a Special Council Meeting. Since the beginning oft_his Council term,
6 additional meetings have been called (most related to budget deliberations).

This year's schedule differs from past years in that there is no longer dedicated Planning nights. As
implemented in mid-2004, staff has changed its processes so that there may be applications under
the PlanningAct at any Council meeting. Staffalso hopes t6 implement other changes in the coming
year under a revised Procedural By-law.
Finally, at the session this writer had with Council regarding the Questionnaire on Procedures and
Agenda, there was no consensus on the appropriate start time for Council: 6:00 p.m. or 7:00 p.m.
It was suggested that if items were not completed upon conclusion of Committee that the matters,
if possible, be added to the Council Agenda.
A final decision on an appropriate start time would be appreciated.

Re: BBS-2004-08, HOCO Limited
Movieland- 4912 Clifton Hill, Sign Variance
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council approve the requested variance to the Sign By-law.
BACKGROUND:
As part of an overall reorganization and renovation project the owner is proposing a large movie
theatre type marquee at the new location for Movieland at 4912 Clifton Hill. The existing Sign By-
law No.6661,1966, permits a wall sign to a maximum of 150 sq. fi or 25% of the wall area. This
projecting wall sign is 506 sq. ft in area and projects over the municipal sidewalk by 8 feet. A
projecting sign may overhang the municipal sidewalk up to 10 feet. However, due to the size, staff
felt that this should be brought to Council's attention. A comparison of this sign to the draft sign
by-law reveals that a variance to the by-law would still be required as it relates to the maximum area
permitted. A Building Permit is also necessary for this structure and is in the process.

(a) the council of the local municipality, on the recommendation of the treasurer,
writes off the taxes as uncollectible, or
(b) the taxes are no longer payable as a result of tax relief under section 319, 345,
358, 362, 365.1 or 365.2 or a decision of any court."

RECOMMENDATION:
That Council authorize execution of an Application (General) and any documents necessary for the
purpose of releasing a Site Plan Agreement made between Your Host Motor Inn Limited ("Your
Host") and The Corporation of the City of Niagara Falls ("City") in 1979, over Part Range 19 Plan

BACKGROUND:
In 1979 the City entered into a Site Plan Agreement with Your Host to construct a building.
The Site Plan Agreement provides that the covenants therein bind the subject lands only for a period
of twenty years from the date of the Agreement. With this "sunset" clause the plans are no longer
in force, and therefore, their Solicitor, Rebecca Peters, has requested that the Site Plan Agreement
be released.

construct an apartment building which contained "sunset" clauses.
Staff confirms the 1970 and 1974 Site Plan Agreements are no longer required and may be

In 1988 the City entered into a Site Plan Agreement with 5241 to construct an apartment building.
As there is no "sunset" clause in the Site Plan Agreement, Italia Gilberti, the solicitor for 5241 is
requesting that Part 9 on Reference Plan 59R-11921 be released from the Site Plan Agreement so
that same can be transferred to the Ministry of Transportation for daylighting triangle purposes, free
of any encumbrances.
Staff confirms that Part 9 on Reference Plan 59R- 11921 contained in the 1988 Site Plan Agreement
is no longer required and may be released.

Dr. Fingland's Daycare Centre
Our File No. 2002-17
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City enter into a Lease Amendment Agreement with Lions Club of Niagara Falls (Ontario),
Canada, Inc. ("Lions Club"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule "A" and further that the
City enter into a month-to-month lease with The Regional Municipality of Niagara to rent the
premises known as Dr. Fingland's Daycare Centre ("Daycare Centre") on a temporary basis.
BACKGROUND:
By Lease Agreement dated January 16, 2002, (the "Lease"), the City leased, among other facilities,
the Daycare Centre located at 4981 Drummond Road, to the Lions Club. The Lions Club, in turn,
sublet the Daycare Centre to The Regional Municipality of Niagara ("Region") but recently, the
Sublease has expired. Because the roof at the Daycare Centre needs extensive repairs, the Lions
Club has asked that the Lease be amended to exclude the Daycare Centre.
The Region has asked that it be permitted to continue leasing the Daycare Centre from the City at
the same rent it paid to the Lions Club. The Region has not yet finalized its plans with respect to
either staying at the Daycare Centre or relocating elsewhere. If the Region intends to stay at the
Daycare Centre, then it would be responsible for the cost of a new roof.

Re: MY/~2004-139
Major Drains/Stormwater Outlets
5-Year Maintenance Program
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that this report be received for information.
BACKGROUND:
Municipal Works staff has been asked repeatedly by residents to investigate a number of drainage
and lot grading complaints and suggest appropriate remedial action. In most cases staff can only
provide advice that will assist the homeowner in remedying a localized problem.
Where possible, and within the available manpower and financial resources, operations staff has
assisted with the maintenance of roadside ditches and open ditches that will make the flow of storm
water move more efficiently through to the eventual outlet. Recent concerns about stagnant water
and the risk of West Nile Virus, coupled with extremely wet weather this summer has increased our
awareness of the need to establish a routine program to clean out the sediment and overgrown
vegetation that obstructs the natural flow of storm water.
Many of these drainage channels are located on within mtmicipal easements but located off the
municipal road allowance. As a result, specialized equipment is often needed and hired on a contract
basis.
The maintenance of these outlets is critical to the effectiveness of our roadside ditching program and
the operation of our stormwater management facilities which are susceptible to siltation especially
where upstream development lands are still in various stages of completion.

Some of the drains that staff are targeting for the next five years include:
· ConRail Drainage Channel
Westlane/Westwood Relief Channel
Little Mississippi Drain
Keith St. Drain
· Shriner's Creek (various locations)
Firemen's Park Ditch
· Beaver Valley Stormwater Management Pond
Attached to this report are plans showing the general location of the required works. Some of this
maintenance work will require approvals from various agencies including the Ministry of Natural
Resources, Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority and any affected road or railway authority.
As a result, these projects will require some lead time to prepare the documents and contracts and
are more suitable for a Capital Works program rather than routine maintenance.
Staff is recommending that funding in the amount of $100,000/year be set aside in the Major Drain
Maintenance Program, subject to the annual review during budget deliberations.

Re: MW-2004-176 - 2004 Infrastructure Management Report
RECOMMENDATION: --
That this report be received for the information of Council.
BACKGROUND:
The Director of Municipal Works requested that the Infrastructure Section prepare a report on the
state of the City's Infrastructure prior to Council's deliberations with respect to the Municipal
Capital Works budget. This request is consistent with Council's 2004 - 2006 priorities as identified
in their strategic planning session in January of 2004.
In general this report deals with the three major networks, wastewater collection system, water
distribution system and the municipal road network. This report identifies near or immediate needs
in these systems and does not provide for financing for sustainability which was the subject of a
previous report.
The results presented here were generated via all of the information currently available for the said
networks. The information used has been collected over a ten-year period and fed into various
sophisticated database and mapping systems to present the results shown here. This analysis differs
from all previous studies in that all three networks are assessed at the same time in order to build a
program that allows for reconstruction of all infrastructure on a street at the same time versus
independent repairs or replacements which are less cost effective.
Please see below a description of the methods used in evaluating each system along with a
description of the respective results and the costs associated with replacing said infrastructure. It is
important to note that the results presented are infrastructure items in need of immediate replacement

The City owned potable water distribution system consists of approximately 5,000 pipe sections
with a total length of 490 kilometers. Staff restricted the analysis to those pipes which appeared to
exhibit characteristics outside of commonly accepted engineering principles. The measurements or
metrics used to evaluate the water distribution system are as follows. Please note that the metrics are
listed in order of increasing priority with respect to public safety and corporate risk management.
Fire Flow
The ability for a watermain to supply adequate fire flow to the Hydrants connected to it for
the purposes of firefighting. Corrosion in watermains over time results in substantial
restrictions in the ability of the watermain to convey flow. For the purposes of this analysis
a fire flow 65 liters per second at 20 pounds per square inch has been used. Insurance
underwriters typically determine the required fire fighting flow at any given location based
on the building use and square footage. The number used here is an average.
C factor
Aging watermain distribution pipes often exhibit a reduction in their ability to convey flow
due to internal corrosion, material of construction and age. The higher the c factor attributed
to a watermain, the better its capability to carry flows. In this analysis a c factor of 40 was
used in the determination of what pipe sections required replacement. Watermains with a
C factor equal to or below 40 often exhibit impaired water quality, are prone to breakage and
cannot deliver sufficient flow in times of high demand. By comparison a new PVC
watermain would have a C factor of 130.
Age
The typically accepted life span for older pipe types is in the range of 70 to 100 years. The
Regional Municipality of Niagara assumed a life span for both water and sewer pipe of 70
years in their last Master Servicing Study. For the purpose of this analysis, a pipe life of 100
years was used.
Water System Required Works
The above metrics were applied to the City of Niagara Falls water system and results were produced
highlighting portions of thc system that did not meet the requirements as defined by staff. Detailed
listings of the pipes requiring replacement along with replacement costing were documented and a
map was created using thc Municipal Works GIS system that allows for display of defective pipes
across the network. An attached map shows the watcrmains in need of repair, highlighted in blue,
across the urban service area. Thc total replacement cost for these watermains in today's dollars is
approximately $12.5 million.
December 6, 2004 - 3 - MW-2004-176
Wastewater Collection System
The measurements or metrics used to evaluate the wastewater collection system are as follows.
Please note that the metrics are listed in order of increasing priority with respect to public safety and
cmporate risk management.
Sewer T.V. Inspection Data
Normally the analysis of tv sewer inspection data would largely dictate a capital replacement
program. Due to five years of funding shortages in this area a lack of information exists to
make informed decisions for replacement. Council however authorized funding in thc 2004
budget to inspect the entire system over the next five years. The results of these inspections
will be incorporated into this analysis when they become available.
Age
The typically accepted life span for older pipe types is in the range of 70 to 100 years. Thc
Regional Municipality of Niagara assumed a life span for both water and sewer pipe of 70
years in their last Master Servicing Study. For the purpose of this analysis, a pipe life of 100
years was used.
Sanitary versus Combined Sewer
At present, approximately 27% of the City owned wastewater collection system is combined.
It is economically advantageous to consider separation of these combined sewers during
capital projects involving road and watermain replacement. In most cases these separation
works provide a better level of basement flooding control, decrease storm water flows to
the Stanley Avenue Treatment Plant and reduce combined sewer overflow to natural
waterways.
Wastewater Collection System Required Works
The above metrics were applied to the City of Niagara Falls wastewater collection system and
results were produced highlighting portions of the system that did not meet the requirements as
defined by staff. The attached map shows the wastewater sewer, highlighted in red, over 100 years
of age and carrying combined flows across the urban service area. The total replacement cost for
these sewers in today's dollars is approximately $18.0 million. This cost represents wastewater pipe
replacement and does not include thc cost associated with the installation of storm sewers. The cost
for the installation of storm sewers associated with these works would constitute a 40% additional
cost, $7.2 million, to the number shown above.
Road Network
In 2002 and 2004 City Staff in conjunction with consultants inspected the urban road network for
the purpose of creating a pavement inventory and management system. A separate and detailed report
concerning the road network will be presented to Council early in 2005. The only metric used in the
determination of needs for the City of Niagara Falls road system is the Pavement Condition Index
December 6, 2004 - 4 - MW-2004-176
generated from detailed inspection reports. Other factors such as type of road, traffic volume and
primary use have not been included in the analysis as of yet but will be incorporated into the final
recommended capital works plan.
Pavement Condition Index
In determining the condition of any given road section factors such as surface defects, ride comfort
and structural integrity are assessed by City Staff. The results are then weighed by a pavement
management computer system to determine the pavement condition index or P.C.I. A PCI value
is expressed as a number from zero to 100 with 100 being a new piece of pavement. A PCI value of
less than 60 indicates a road surface that is no longer suitable for rehabilitation and has deteriorated
to the point where it it is better left to deteriorate to the point of absolute failure and then
reconstructed. A proactive road rehabilitation plan can prevent roads from deteriorating to this stage
and is more cost effective in the long mn. The key to an effective road management plan is to
address pavement defects prior to the road falling below the 60 PCI value. This is illustrated in the
attached newspaper article. A distribution of the relative road conditions of the Niagara Falls
networks is shown below.

Road System Required Works
Approximately 153 krn of city-owned roadway with a PCI of less than 60 requires reconstruction at
a cost approaching $ 28 million of which approximately 64 km or 42% is in the rural area. Rural
roads in need of replacement are shown on the second attached map. These sections are shown in
the attached plan highlighted in thick black lines. Mr. David Hein of Eres Consulting Engineers will
present a more detailed report and presentation complete with more accurate costing to Council early
in 2005.
Summary
The results and dollar values presented in this report are for high-level discussion purposes
only and do not constitute street level engineering design costing analysis. The total cost of the
required improvements presented here is in the range of 50 to $60 million. The use of advanced
replacement techniques along with economies of scale by virtue of larger replacement contracts
would likely lower the cost substantially.
December 6, 2004 - 5 - MW-2004-176
In an attempt to address some of the issues presented here, the 2003 Municipal Works Capital
Budget reflected an increase of 15% in water, sewer and roads budgets. The 2004 budget reflected
an increase of 15% in the area of sewer and water only.
City Engineering Staffare currently investigating national benchmarking initiatives with respect to
their current asset and infrastructure management efforts in hopes of comparing the City of Niagara
Falls capital budget funding levels and mechanisms with other municipalities in Canada participating
in the program. The approximate cost of this initiative is $ 20,000 and will be the subject of a future
council report.
Council's concurrence with the above recommendation is requested.

inaugural poll. No work was done then and no work is planned now,
because officials in Toronto and York Region can't agree on who pays for
what to fix the border road.
"We need action now to prevent a bigger mess in a few years," said Rob
Bradford of the Ontario Road Builders' Association, which allied itself
with the Canadian Automobile Association and the Canadian Taxpayers
Federation, among others, in the shame campaign t argO. lng government
indifference.
Bradford said governments delude themselves in thinking they save money
by delaying maintenance. "The cost of basic preventative maintenance
during the f'~st 10 years of a road's life is between $500 cud $1,000 per
lane-kilometre. Ir'this work is dslayed, the cost jumps to $80,000 by year
the web ! 2 and as much as $250,000 by year 15 as the problems become more
by Goo~le John Niedra, director of transportation infrastructure management for
Toronto, said the city will work on Bathurst between Blonr and Front Sts.
next spring, pending approval ora $250 million roads budget.
"The bulk of the concerns on Bathurst are with the streetcar allowance,"
Niedra said. "One of the problems we have is the track beds (in concrete)
doa~t last as long as the adjacent (asphalt) roads."
The city has done away with the wooden ties that last only 20 or 25 years,
and Niedra hopes new trackbed technology will give Bathurst a longer life
this time around.
But continuing problems with Stceles -- gridlock among both cars and
bureaucrats -- are sure to make motorists overheat. The city estimates that
almost $100 million worth of work will be needed over 15 years to repave
rough spc4s and widen bottlenecks.
"We get two to three complaints a week on Stceles," Niedra said. "We just
have to get out there and put the Band-Aids on and keep moving. We're
just going to stick on maintenance and emergency repairs and keeping it
safe. Once we get an agreement, we've got a plan to move forward. Our
list is ready."
The problem on who pays the bills is legal. York Region officially begins
a few moires no~h of Steales. Nonethelass, it's deemed a "border" road,
subject to cost-sharing agreements.
York's problem is whether it's legally entitled tu spend tax money or
development levies on projects outside its borders. Kees Schipper, York's
commissioner of roads, hopes to have the issue settled by mid-2005.
"It has certainly been something we're trying to address," he said. "I don't
think it's black and white. We're working together wi~h the city of

Toronto ... (to learn) what is fair for York Region taxpayers to rchab a City
of Toronto road. It's not all that easy. There arc still some significant
principles that have to be resolved."
Tasha Kheiriddin, of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, said Ottawa
collects $2 billion in taxes from Ontario motorists, almost none of which
goes toward roads. Queen's Park collects $3 billion and spends about one-
third of that on roads.
Meanwhile, southern Ontario drivels spend an average of almost $2,000

Request for Sunday Parking o Main Street Baptist Church
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that parking be permitted, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., on
Sundays, along the south side of Main Street between Robinson Street and a point 145 metres
west of Allendale Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
Council at it's meeting of August 16, 2004, approved Report MW-2004-126 - Fallsview Casino
Area Parking Review.
This report dealt with restricted parking as well as pay parking along Main Street between
Robinson Street and Allendale Avenue. Within this area, there are two churches; The Ukrainian
Catholic Church and the Main Street Baptist Church. Council had requested that Staff discuss
the proposed restrictions with the two churches to determine the impacts. Staff was only able
retain comments from the Ukranian Church and as a result implemented a Sunday exemption for
parking on the north side of Main Street. Staff has since received a request from the Main Street
Baptist Church, requesting similar consideration be given for the south side of Main Street.
Therefore, Staff is recommending that residential permit parking area located on the south side of
Main Street between Robinson Street and a point 145 metres west of Allendale Avenue, be
amended, to allow parking on Sundays between the hours of 9:00 a.m.. and 1:00 p.m..

HISTORY
The Mayor's Youth Advisory Committee was established through the Community Policing
Committee's Safe City Campaign in 1999.
In March 2001, the Mayor's Youth Advisory Committee hosted a Youth Forum at The Optimist
Club to determine the recreation and leisure needs of youth ages 14-20 years in Niagara Falls and
to use this information to improve service to the youth population. From the Youth Forum, it was
determined that there was a need for a Skate Park in the City. Numerous public meetings were held
and surveys were completed to also help determine the need.
On November 26, 200l, The Mayor's Youth Advisory Committee made a request to City Council
requesting funds and a site for the Skate Park. City Council allocated $250,000 for the design and
construction of the Skate Park and also allocated space on the site of the future Community Centre.
