Then the following month, Tabitha Stavrou captured the National title with the 90- kilogram Juvenile National Wrestling Championship in St. John's, Newfoundland. In only her second year of wrestling, Tabitha has won both OFSAA and Nationals, the two toughest wrestling tournaments in Canada. A Grade 12 Student at Stamford Collegiate, Tabitha is a national champion in two sports. She won the Canadian under -17 rugby championship in August. She notes that her signature wrestling move, a double leg attack, is similar to the method she uses to make tackles on a rugby pitch. Stamford Coach Gary MacDonald notes that Tabitha is a strong and focussed athlete, training four days a week for 1 -1/2 hours each day. Going into the final, Tabitha was extremely confident and motivated to win. She trains with the Brock University Team and plans on heading to the University of Western in another year, to wrestle and to play rugby. She has been scouted by schools in the United States and universities in Western Canada. Tabitha's wrestling season is now complete for the school year and she has moved into her rugby season, playing on four different rugby teams this spring and summer: Stamford Collegiate St. Catharines Tigers club side Ontario Team Canadian under -19 teams.

Heartland Forest has requested an amendment to the Zoning By -law No. 79 -200 for 26.6 acres (10.8ha) of land in the southwest quadrant of Kalar Road and Brown Road, as shown on Schedule 1. Last year, Council approved in principle the development of 100 recreational vehicle /trailer sites and one multi -use building as the first phase of the Heartland Forest theme park development. The applicant has changed their plans and now wishes to have 195 recreational vehicle /trailer sites as the first phase of this overall development. Details are shown on Schedule 2. The land is currently zoned Heavy Industrial (HI) in the Zoning By -law. A site specific Resort Commercial Establishment (RCE) zone with a Holding (H) provision (due to servicing) is requested to permit the development. The portion of the land affected by the Provincially Significant Welland (PSW) is proposed to be zoned a site specific Environment Protection Area (EPA) zone. Schedule 3 shows the original proposed configuration of this development. The phase 1 site area has not been expanded. The expansion of trailer sites is into areas originally proposed for gardens, future unspecified small -scale buildings and a large parking area for the resort. Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks Finance Human Resources Information Systems Legal Planning Development Tr a June 13, 2005 2 PD- 2005 -41 Schedule 3 shows the original proposed configuration of this development. The area to be developed as the first phase has not been expanded. The 95 additional trailer sites are proposed in areas originally intended for future gardens, vacation villas and a large parking area for the resort. At the last Council meeting, Cytec's lawyer, (Jeff Wilker) expressed written concems about the impact of the stormwater management plan on Thompson's Creek to the south of the site, which is owned by Cytec. More recently, they have expressed general concerns with respect to the impact of any private sanitary sewage services on Thompson's Creek, and have requested a hold (H) provision be placed on the land until such times as the servicing issues are resolved. Surrounding Land Uses The 10.8 hectare (26.6 acre) parcel is part of a larger 100 hectare (247 acre) site owned by the applicant and is bordered by Brown Road, Kalar Road and Chippawa Creek Road. The subject parcel is bordered to the west by a wooded Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW). Lands directly adjacent to the south are intended for future phases of the Heartland forest development. Lands to the north and east are vacant and are designated Industrial in the Official Plan. Circulation Comments Municipal Works The City is currently conducting an environment assessment review which will identity a preferred alternative to servicing a number of properties in the vicinity of this project. Public sanitary services are not available until at least July 2006. If the developer intends to proceed before this time, temporary private servicing will be required and the necessary approvals sought from Regional Public Health. However, as public services become available, the project would be required to connect to them. 2.94 metre (10 feet) road widenings are required along the Kalar and Brown Road frontages, and a daylight triangle with 7 metre (23 feet) legs is required at the corner of Kalar and Brown Road, and at Kalar and Chippawa Creek Roads. the recommendations of the stormwater management report submitted by the applicant's engineer are to be adhered to and the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority should be involved in future stormwater management review. Fire Services No objections. Planning Analysis Staff Report PD- 2004 -21, attached to this report, provides information on the original request to rezone the same parcel for 100 recreational vehicle /trailers sites and a multi -use building. The report is summarized as follows. The applicant proposes to develop the resort in phases over a 20 -year time frame. Although this phased approach may not appear to be in keeping with the relevant Official Plan policies, June 13, 2005 3 PD- 2005 -41 it is unreasonable to require a single Zoning By -law amendment application for such a large site development. The proposed uses are located beyond the 1.09 km setback from heavy industrial uses west of Gamer Road required by the site specific Official Plan regulations. The buildings and RV /trailers will be low -rise buildings that will fit in with the natural features in the area. An applicable zone classification will be developed for this use. A field evaluation by the consulting biologist determined that a 9 metre setback between the forest edge west of the site and the RV /trailer sites need to be established. This setback, along with a set of mitigation measures to be implemented through site plan control, is necessary to protect the forest edge. Various matters, including the previous planning review of this application, were considered in assessing the revised request. Based on this analysis, approval is recommended subject to implementation of a holding (H) zone. The review of this request is summarized as follows: 1. Increasing the number of recreational vehicle /trailer sites to 195 sites does not offend the Official Plan. The 100 hectare Heartland Forest site is designated Resort Commercial in part and Environmental Protection Area in part where they apply. Site specific Resort Commercial policies direct the development of a comprehensive resort commercial development consisting of both high and low intensity components on resort commercial lands, while Environmental Protection Area is to be retained in a natural state and used only for passive recreational/educational uses. Although the number of RV /trailer sites is being doubled, the area proposed to be developed is not being increased. The RV /trailer sites will be beyond the 1 09 km setback required from the industrial area west of Garner Road, and the recommended 9 metre (30 foot) setback from environmental lands will be provided for. The Region has verbally indicated adequate separation distances will be provided from the proposed prestige industrial uses east of Kalar Road. As required by the Official Plan, the first phase of development will be maintained as a low -rise development with extensive buffering and landscaping that will fit in with surrounding development and will not dominate adjacent natural areas. The replacement of the large proposed parking areas along Kalar Road with RV /trailer sites will, with the combination of the buffering strips, provide for a more pleasing streetscape. Ensuring Heartland Forest will eventually develop as a comprehensive resort has been of some concern to Planning staff. Originally, the concept included golf courses, resort villas, a resort hotel, conference facilities and ancillary recreational and commercial uses. Other than the RV /trailer sites and the multi purpose building, the applicant's agent has indicated they are in negotiations to sell some of the lands beyond the first phase for development of a golf course, and have illustrated a future phase (timing of development unknown) to develop villas to the south of the RV /trailer sites. June 13, 2005 4 PD- 2005 -41 2. The requested zoning amendment is appropriate It would be contrary to the Official Plan designation if these RV /trailer sites were occupied by mobile homes, as residences are to be located only on residentially designated land. In addition, this land is not appropriate for residential uses as residential could represent a land use conflict with the surrounding industrial lands. Therefore, it is necessary that these RV /trailer sites serve temporary visitors as opposed to permanent residents. Provisions will be added to the amending by -law to regulate the maximum stay at a RV or trailer unit on the site. Other recommended zoning provisions are as follows. A 9 metre (30 foot) setback to be provided between the Environmental Protection Area to the west of the parcel and any RV /trailer site, as recommended by the applicant's environmental consultant. As discussed earlier, a provision that would see the multi -use building developed at the same time as the RV /trailer sites. 3. Site Plan Control will be applicable. Site plan control will be used to guide the orderly development of this first phase. Among matters to be addressed is: Development of future phases that will see the completion of Heartland Forest as a comprehensive resort is still anticipated. The RV /trailer sites and multi purpose building are anticipated to be the first step in realizing this comprehensive resort. The proposed amendment will introduce a site specific Resort Commercial Establishment (RCE) zone to Zoning By -Law No. 79 -200 that will guide the development of this first phase. As required by the Official Plan amendment, Cytec Canada (Cytec) has been circulated with the original and revised development proposals. Some concerns have been raised by Cytec about the servicing studies submitted and potential impacts of stormwater services on their lands. In addition, they have some concern that development may occur on private services and this may impact on Thompson Creek. Although private servicing is a possibility, the City is of the understanding the applicant is waiting for completion of municipal services including the proposed pumping station. Cytec also requests the site be subject to a holding (H) provision pending resolution of the servicing issues to the satisfaction of Cytec and the City. The requested holding provision is acceptable. A 12 metre (40 foot) wide landscape strip along the Kalar and Brown Road frontages to provide buffering between the site and existing and future uses. The 15 metre (50 feet) wide strip shown on the proposed plan will accommodate this landscaping and the required road widenings. servicing of the site, including sanitary and stormwater services; protection and mitigation measures pertaining to the wetlands; and buffering, landscaping, fire access and protection, garbage disposal and lighting. June 13, 2005 5 PD- 2005.41 CONCLUSION: 1. The requested Zoning By -law amendment can be supported for the following reasons. The revised first phase does not offend the site specific policies guiding the development of the resort development, and The required setbacks from heavy industrial uses and the wetlands will be provided. 2. The amending zoning by -law will include a holding (H) provision to ensure resolution of servicing issues and will contain provisions ensuring the RV /trailer sites serve temporary visitors, requiring buffering along street frontages and requiring setbacks from environmental lands.

BACKGROUND: Heartland Forest, through its agent Richard Brady, has requested an amendment for 10.8 ha (26.6 ac) of land in the southwest quadrant of Kalar Road and Brown Road, as shown on Schedule 1. The amendment is requested to permit the development of 100 recreational vehicle/trailer sites and one multi -use building as the first phase of the Heartland Forest theme park development. Details are shown on Schedule 2. The land is currently zoned Heavy Industrial (HI) in the Zoning By -law. A site specific Tourist Commercial (TC) zone is requested to permit the development. Site Description and Surrounding Land Uses The 10.8 ha parcel is part of a larger 100 ha site bordered by Brown Road, Kalar Road and Chippawa Creek Road. The subject parcel is vacant and is bordered to the west by a large wet/woodlot which is classified as a Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) according to the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR). Lands directly adjacent to the south are owned by the applicant and are slated for further phases of the theme park development. Thompson Creek is the southerly edge of the larger parcel. Lands to the north and east are vacant and are designated Industrial in the Official Plan. Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks Finance Human Resources Information Systems Legal Planning Development February 23, 2004 2 PD- 2004 -21 Circulation Comments Information regarding the application was circulated to City departments, government agencies and the public for comment. Municipal Works Infrastructure A 2.9 m road widening is to be dedicated along the full frontages of Kalar Road and Brown Road. A 7 m x 7 m daylight triangle is to be dedicated at the intersection of Kalar Road and Brown Road. Upgrades to the watermain system may be necessary subject to distribution needs of the trunk watermain that are being studied by the Region. A stormwater management report is required to satisfy the requirements of the MNR and Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA). Municipal Works have been studying the planning and coordination of the installation of an appropriate sewage collection system for the undeveloped lands in the Garner South area. The study has not been completed. As such, as it is unlikely that the system will be in place in time of the first phase of development, it is recommended that the developer pursue approvals for a private sewage disposal system in the meantime. Transportation Planning See attached memorandum. Regional Planning Development The lands within the Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) that are in the development area shown on the site plan should be zoned Hazard Land (HL) or Environmental Protection Area (EPA). The 9 m setback from the edge of forest should be included in the amending zoning by -law. Trail development within the PSW is not to occur at this time. A further EIS will be required to determine the details of the trail development. A tree preservation plan should be included in the site plan agreement. The studies submitted with the application are to be implemented as conditions of the site plan agreement. February 23, 2004 -3 PD- 2004 -21 The stormwater management pond, although outside the area to be zoned, should be included in the site plan agreement. The master site plan should not be registered at this time due to the phasing on the zoning. Planning Analysis 1. The Official Plan sets out a policy framework for the execution of the proposed resort. The lands that are to be developed as the Heartland Forest Resort are designated Resort Commercial and Environmental Protection Area. They are also governed by Special Policy Area "35" which sets out a specific policy framework for the development of the proposed resort. The lands are intended to be developed as a comprehensive, fully integrated, large -scale resort commercial development consisting of both high and low intensity components. The proposed development is an introductory phase of the ultimate development. Protection of the Environmental Protection Area The Plan states that any Zoning By -law amendment is to be accompanied by an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) which is to identify the boundaries of the PSW, woodlot areas and any intended use, significant stands of trees and fish habitat. Buffering, distance separation and other mitigation measures are also to be identified. A field evaluation was undertaken by a consulting biologist to delineate the forest boundary in relation to the proposed development and to determine appropriate setbacks. The report recommends that a 9 m setback be established between the edge of forest and the RV /trailer sites in order to provide sufficient protection of the established woodland edge. A number of mitigation measures, including temporary fencing, grading, placement of fill and tree and scrub removal, have been recommended. These measures should be included in the site plan agreement. Separation of Land Uses Lands designated and zoned for heavy industrial uses, located west of Garner Road., are to be respected with a compatible arrangement of the Resort Conunercial land uses. The more intensive Resort Commercial uses, including accommodations, assembly halls and education facilities, are to be located beyond a distance of 1.09 km from the eastern edge of Garner Road. Within the 1 09 km separation distance passive uses can be located that include golf courses, sports fields, trails and water parks. The proposed RV /trailer sites and the multi -use building are located more than 1.4 km east of Garner Road and within the northeast quadrant of the property. Therefore, the siting of the proposal meets the policies of the Plan. February 23, 2004 4 PD- 2004 -21 CONCLUSION: A site specific Zoning By law amendment is to address certain requirements. The applicant has advised that the development of the resort is proposed to proceed through stages over a 20 -year time frame. With each phase an amendment to the Zoning By -law will be required. Although a phased approach to zoning appears to be contrary to the policy regarding by -law amendments, it is unreasonable to require that a single amendment application be made for such a large -scale development, the details of which may change over the course of implementation. Nevertheless, each phase will have to satisfy the policies set out in the plan. Buildings are to be low -rise to fit in with the natural character of the area and to be less affected by odour and air emissions from neighbouring industries. The RV /trailers and one storey multi -use building comply with this policy. Exact boundaries are to be established of the natural features being preserved. The EIS has delineated the edge of the woodlot/PSW which will be illustrated on the schedule of the amending zoning by -law. Traffic impact, stormwater management, sanitary and water servicing studies together with updated noise and odour studies and an EIS are to be submitted with each application. The requisite studies have been submitted. Regional Planning Development is the commenting agency respecting the majority of the studies. The Region recommends implementation of the studies' recommendations through the site plan agreement. Detailed comments from the Region are attached. 2. The requested amendment is appropriate. The applicant has requested the application of a site specific TC zone to regulate the development. A site specific TC zone is appropriate because the resort will be a tourist serving operation, albeit in a non -urban setting. However, a concern has been raised by the solicitor of an adjacent landowner regarding the applicability of the TC zone as it appears to have a different connotation than what maybe inferred from the Resort Commercial Official Plan designation. Staff will discuss an acceptable zone classification with the applicant and the landowner's solicitor. Based on the foregoing, the requested amendment can be recommended for the following reasons: the proposal complies with the policy framework established for the resort development in the Official Plan; the EIS has delineated the edge of the woodlot and prescribed an appropriate setback for the RV /trailer sites and applicable buffering measures; the proposal is well outside the prescribed separation distance from the HI uses west of Gamer Road; and February 23, 2004 implementation of the recommendations of the studies will be carried out by the site plan agreement.

Would you please review the following comments and respond where necessary. 1. McLeod Road, west of Montrose Road is under the City of Niagara Falls jurisdiction, as opposed to the Region of Niagara. 2. The report identifies that traffic signal warrants are now fulfilled at the McLeod Road and QEW ramp #24. However, it appears that the volume used to determine the warrants was based only on a pm peak count Please be advised that a full 8-hour traffic count carried was carried out on October 2003 at this location, and I have attached it for your review and analysis. The MTO may request additional information pertaining to this matter. 3. Please indicate the actual annual growth rate factor used to determine the future background traffic 4. The ultimate development incorporates 16 different uses as noted on page 28, 30. The trips to be generated were based on 5 of the 16 uses, as many of the remaining uses are considered to be ancillary. However, was there any consideration given to employee trips that may be solely generated by the ancillary uses, and what effect will this have on the road network. 5. The operations at the intersection of McLeod Kalar are noted to be unsatisfactory to meet the 2015 background travel demands, however, improvements were not identified in the findings and conclusions section of the report. 6. Please be advised that a traffic impact study has been completed for the Community Centre on Montrose Road. I have included the site traffic proposed to be generated at the various intersections within the study area. Please include the volumes in the assessment of the intersections. The community centre is proposed to be fully operational in 2005. Working Together to Serve Our Community Municipal Works Fire Services Parks, Recreation Culture Business Development 7. An Environmental Assessment is currently underway on Kalar Road between McLeod Road and Westwood Street. I have included the site traffic anticipated to be generated by future subdivisions, which will affect the operation of the intersection of Kalar Road and McLeod Road in 2015. Would you please include the site traffic from the subdivision development and assess whether the EA preferred alternative is suitable given the additional Heartland Forest site traffic Please be advised that the preferred alternative for Kalar Road and McLeod Road consists of two through lanes and left turn lanes on all approaches. The additional through lanes on McLeod Road west of Kalar Road and on Kalar Road south of McLeod Road will taper back into one through lane with the appropriate storage and taper lengths. 8. Comments from the Region of Niagara and the MTO should be solicited as many of the intersections and road sections are under their jurisdiction. I look forward to discussing the above comments with you. Please feel free to contact me at 356- 7521 extension 5204 should you have any questions. att. cc.

City of Niagara Falls File: D.10.M,11.23 This application proposes to amend the City's Zoning By -law to permit the first phase of the Heartland Forest Resort that will include 100 recreational vehicle/trailer sites and a multi -use building. The proposed zoning amendment only affects approximately 10.7 hectares of the estimated 100 hectare site for the Heartland Forest Resort. The subject lands are situated at the southwest corner of Brown Road and Kalar Road. Amendment No. 40 to the Niagara Falls Official Plan was previously approved to redesignate part of the property "Resort Commercial" with site specific policies to guide the resort development and to protect natural features designated as Environmental Protection Areas. A number of studies were previously identified to be submitted with the zoning application. Approved recommendations and requirements are to be implemented through site plan agreements based on an overall master site plan to be registered on title. The following Regional and Provincial comments are only applicable to' the first phase of development proposed through the current zoning amendment. A more comprehensive review will be undertaken as details of future development phases are presented through further zoning amendments required for the remaining lands. Regional Review These lands lie within the Region's Urban Area Boundary for Niagara Falls. The proposed development is permitted subject to the adequate provision of municipal services and roads. Municipal services must be extended to this property. The design of these municipal services Will be required to be submitted to the Regional Public Works Department and the Ministry of the Environment for their review and approval. Regional Public Works staff previously indicated that adequate reserve capacity exists at the Region's Stamford Sewage Treatment Plant to accommodate this development. However, wet weather flow constraints Were identified at the Region's nearby sewage pumping station. Although the site does not front on a Regional Road, Chippewa Creek Road (Regional Road 63) and Montrose Road (Regional Road 98) are located nearby. The traffic impact study submitted for this project is being reviewed and any necessary improvements to Regional roads will be assessed. Comments from Regional Public Works on servicing and traffic considerations are being finalized and will be forwarded separately when they are available. Thicket vegetation covers a large part of the property with substantial woodlands on the west side of the first development phase. The Region's Tree Conservation By -law applies to the cutting or removal of trees. A tree preservation plan prepared by a qualified arborist/forester should be submitted to the Region and approved by the City under the site plan agreement. The wetland /woodlot toward the west side of this development phase is classified as a Provincially Significant Wetland and should be zoned as an Environmental Protection Area (EPA) to restrict development. This is described in greater detail under Provincial review comments. The EPA zoning limit is illustrated as the "edge of forest" on the site plan drawing submitted with this application as determined through an environmental field evaluation conducted by L. Campbell and Associates, dated January 2, 2004. Protective measures for woodlands described in this evaluation could also form part of the tree preservation plan previously mentioned. A 9 metre building setback from the EPA zone is recommended and should be included in the amending by -law to protect the woodlot and interior wetlands. Provincial Review Ministry of the Environment 2 Ministry of the Environment Certificates of Approval will be necessary for the extension of services required for this development. Preliminary plans submitted for storm drainage and grading show stormwater being directed to a proposed storm channel to be constructed south of this development phase. A detailed stormwater management plan will be necessary to address water quality and quantity and sediment and erosion control measures in accordance with Ministry of the Environment guidelines. This should be prepared and submitted to the Regional Planning and Development Department for review and approval as part of the site plan agreement The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority will be requested to review this on our behalf. A 1.09 km separation distance from Garner Road was included in Official Plan Amendment No. 40 to ensure compatibility between sensitive resort accommodations and heavy industrial uses to the west (Cytec). This exceeds the 1,000 metre potential influence area identified In the Ministry of the Environment's guidelines for `Compatibility Between Industrial Facilities and Sensitive Land Uses (Guideline 0-6) The proposed trailer sites are located beyond this limit_ Noise and odour assessments were previously undertaken for the overall Heartland Forest project. The Ministry of the Environment also monitored air quality in the area and advised that emission levels are acceptable. The applicants submitted updated reports on noise and odour impacts with the subject zoning application. According to an Environmental Noise Assessment prepared by Valcoustics Canada Ltd., prepared Apriil19, 2000 and updated October 2, 2003, no adverse impacts from traffic or stationary (Le. industrial) noise sources are anticipated as levels were determined to be within Ministry of the Environment guidelines. An Odour Impact Assessment prepared by Stephen Lamming Associates Ltd., dated June 2002, has been forwarded to the Ministry of the Environment for review and approval. The Power Grow composting operation to the southwest has been Identified as the main source of potential adverse odours. Landscape measures are suggested as a form of mitigation to minimize air quality impacts. This will primarily be applicable to future phases of development that will be located closer to the Power Grow facility. A waming clause is also required due to the proximity of this development to the Region's Garner Road Biosolids Treatment Facility. Necessary mitigation measures can be implemented through the site plan agreement. Ministry of Culture 3 Ministry of Natural Resources The Ministry of Natural Resources has classified the wooded /wetland area along the east side of the subject property as a Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW). An Environmental Study was previously prepared by ESG International Inc., dated December 20, 2001. A further environmental field evaluation was conducted by L. Campbell and Associates, dated January 2, 2004 to define the boundary of this natural feature and recommend some protective measures for the resort construction. As previously indicated, this area should be zoned as an Environmental Protection Area as Provincial polices do not permit development. The preliminary site plan submitted with the rezoning application indicates that trails are proposed within the wetland area. However, the environmental field evaluation only deals with mitigation measures associated with adjacent development. Trails will not be permitted within or adjacent to the PSW unless an environmental impact study Is submitted to demonstrate that there will be no detrimental impacts through careful consideration of trail locations and construction methods to minimize any disturbance. Further, trailer sites and drainage swales should not be permitted within the 9 metre setback intended to provide a buffer along the outside of the wetland boundary. This should be confirmed during the site plan agreement process. Two watercourses are situated south of the first phase of development. Thompson's Creek is classified as an Important (Type 2) fish habitat and the Welland River is classified as a Critical (Type 1) fish habitat by the Ministry of Natural Resources. The banks of both watercourses also contain Provincially Significant Wetlands. A storm drainage channel is proposed for construction to direct stormwater runoff to Thompson's Creek, south of Chippewa Creek near Kalar Road, which outlets to the Welland River. Therefore, water quality and the protection of fish habitat will be important considerations as part of the detailed stormwater management plan required for the development as previously noted. Based on Ministry criteria, the site displays a moderate to high potential for the discovery of archaeological resources since it is located near two watercourses and in reasonably dose proximity to existing registered archaeological sites. No site alteration should be undertaken until an archaeological assessment has been prepared and approved by the Ministry of Culture. A copy of this assessment should also be provided to the Regional Planning and Development Department for information purposes. Conclusion Regional Planning staff has no objection to the approval of the zoning by -law amendment for the first phase of the Heartland Forest Resort complex subject to the consideration Of the aforementioned matters which are generally summarized below to address Regional and Provincial interests: That the Provincially Significant Wetland on the east side of the site be zoned as an "Environmental Protection Area (EPA)" with a zoning requirement for a 9 metre minimum building setback and landscape buffer from the EPA Zone; That the City consider the inclusion of a Holding provision with the Tourist Commercial Zone that may be lifted once traffic and servicing studies have been reviewed and approved; That studies and/or plans related to traffic, servicing, air quality, environmental impacts, stormwater management, tree preservation and archaeological resources be approved by the appropriate authority, including the Regional Planning and Development Department, and implemented through the necessary site plan agreement; That a master site plan agreement not be registered until the zoning by -law is amended for the remaining lands intended for the Heartland Forest Resort which shall include the submission of detailed development plans and necessary supporting studies to be approved for future phases of this project.

Wilker 416- 868 -3118 jwilker@thomsonrogers.com We are writing further to your correspondence of March 14, 2005, and our recent telephone conversation. As I advised, our client, Cytec Canada Inc. "Cytec continues to have concerns regarding the stormwater management issues and the impact of the proposed development on Thompson's Creek, owned by Cytec. Thompson's Creek is a critical component of Cytec's plant operations. We reference section 14.35.5 a) of the approved Official Plan Amendment No. 40, dealing with the Heartland Forest Niagara Development, which states as follows: "Should the development impact upon or alter existing conditions of Thompson Creek, located to the south of the development, the developer shall obtain the consent of the owner of Thompson Creek to permit these impacts or alterations, or in the alternative shall redesign its development so as to maintain the existing conditions. These impacts or alterations include impacts on flood potential, erosion, water quality and quantity and fish habitat." We enclose the stormwater management review of April 14, 2005, carried out by Cytec's consultant, Mr. Tufgar of TSB, which details various of the concerns regarding the stormwater management plan. In addition, as has been noted by Mr. Tufgar, the submitted stormwater management plan does not reflect the approximate doubling of the number of trailer sites from 100 to 195 sites. Given that change, we respectfully suggest that Upper Canada Consultants, the consultants for Heartland Forest, should address any implications B A R R I S T E R S A N D S O L J C I T O R S SUITE 3100 390 BAY STREET TORONTO, ONTARIO CANADA M5H 1W2 FAX 416-868 -3134 TEL. 416 868 3100 OTO /VOO'd VETE 898 9TV Mtn S2IMOOii HOSWOH.L 8T :tT 900Z- TE -AvW Thomson Rogers 0t0 /900'd tCIC 898 911' -2- of that proposed change on the stormwater management report and plan that was prepared for the prior smaller development. We understand from our discussions that the proposed development of 195 trailer sites is intended to be developed on municipal services. Notwithstanding this intention, City Public Works in its comments of February 25, 2005, states with respect to sanitary services: "The future addition of a pumping station on the corner of Brown Road and Kalar Road is planned and will assist with the sanitary sewage on the development. Construction of the pumping station should not hold up this development. The City would see the constitution of the new pumping station in conjunction with the proposed development to be a favourable alternative." These comments are ambiguous in that a pumping station is referenced as being desired; and yet the development can proceed in advance of the pumping station. If the City is proposing that the development can proceed on private services, i.e. septic systems or holding tanks, Cytec requires confirmation of that proposal. If the City is proposing that the development be serviced by full municipal services, then Cytec requests that the zoning by -law for the development incorporate a hold, to ensure that the development does not precede the delivery of the municipal services. In addition, the associated site plan should incorporate the requisite requirements for development on full municipal services. If there is a component to the proposal that the development proceed on private services, that raises additional concerns for Cytec regarding the impact of the development on Thompson's Creek. We understand that a subsequent public meeting is to be held regarding the revised proposal. We ask that we continue to receive notice with respect to all matters arising from the City's consideration of this development, and that copies of those notices also be sent to Mr. Ken Milo at Cytec Canada as well.

As discussed, our review covers context only as related to current standards of practice and criteria. We have not carried out a detailed review of the technical analysis or modelling provided in the report. Our review focuses on the proposed SWM and drainage plan as it relates to the protection of Thompson's Creek. The following comments are in the same order as in our original conunents of August 12, 2004 and response for Upper Canada Consultants of December 6, 2004. The drainage plans still do not provide sufficient detail for review (even for context only). The respons. indicates that the contour inrervat is 0.5m, which is sufficient for this level of analysis, however, no elevations are provided on the plan.

A description of how this area outlets to Thompson Creek under Phase 1 conditions and how it will be picked up in Phase 1I should be included (by the storm sewer? and, if so, what are the inlet points). No further comments on this item. 3. Our comments with regard to potential erosion impacts remain, for the following reasons: We agree that the presence of a backwater condition will reduce velocities, and hence erosion potential, but it does not entirely remove the potential for erosion. The existing banks, given the soils and vegetation condition do show erosion potential, and hence the need for analysis. Section 7 the report indicates that: "The report was prepared in accordance with the provincial guidelines contained in Siam Management Planning and Design Manual, March 2003. While the principles followed for water quality control are generally in accordance with the Guidelines, some necessary details are not (this is addressed further in Item 8 of this letter). It is our opinion that the proposed plan is not in compliance with the Guidelines. The proposed approach to erosion control and water balance has not addressed the requirements of the MOE guidelines. More specifically; Table 3 indicates a 50 to 80% increase in runoff volume which is part of the runoff process that impacts on erosion potential. During a runoff event, regardless of the backwater conditions, flows will be occurring in Thompson Creek. Although peak flows will be controlled on the development site, runoff volumes will be higher and, hence, the duration of Clow in Thompson Creek will be increased. Erosion is a function of velocity (energy) and duration. This needs to or considered in the analysis. It is proposed that the inflow to Thompson Creek is to 0e changed from distributed inilOw (along the creek) to a point dicnarse. This will Increase the energy levels on the stream at treat location. -ocai energy dissipation sriould be provided. We would suggest that, 10 resolve finis issue, two items be provided if the landowner and their consultant does not want to carry out additional analysis on this: i) Local energy dissipation should be provided to protect the watercourse, as part of the proposed works. ii) That the outlet and watercourse be monitored for increases in erosion, and that the landowner agree to provide mitigation if it is found that erosion increases. 4. Addressed in Item 3. 5. No additional comment 6. Addressed in Item 3. 7. Addressed in kern I. 8. A linear swale is still proposed for SV,'Nl under Phase 1.

It is therefore recommended that they be used as part of a multi component approach (i.e. one measure in a series of stormwater quality measures). They may be used for pre- treatment or polishing (Pg. 4 MOE Guidelines 2003)." Table 5 in the SWM Plan does not meet the MOE guidelines standard for flow (flow is 0.519cros, the standard is less than 0.15cros) It .is indicated in Section 5.3.1 in the SWM report that proper Maintenance of a grassed swale facility is needed to provide for continued effectiveness. We agree, however the responsibiliry is not indicated. This would or specified in a development agreement (short and long term maintenance responsibilities). To resolve this issue we would suggest that; if a grassed swale continues to be proposed for Phase 1, the following conditions be requested: That the maintenance responsibilities and level of work be specified (short and long term). That the developer and municipality take responsibility for any water qualiry impacts that may occur on Thompson Creek and provide assurance that CYTEC will not be held responsible. It appears from the March 14 correspondence that the Phase 1 SWM may not be constructed and that the Phase 11 SWM will be applied. We have the following comments: A wet pond facility could provide an appropriate SWM approach for water quality control, however there are some inconsistencies in the analysis that need to be addressed. Table 9 of the SWM rtpon indicates a drainage area of 27.4ha. The total drainage area to the SW,b1 pond is 43.3ha (from Figure 6). This includes 14.8 hectares of external area which appears to be future golf course. If not treated in this facility any conditions on drainage from the golf course should be specified in the S`iTI report with assurance from the Mc:xipality that the conditions will be imposed in the future. Section 3. 3.2 of the N1OE Guidelines indicates that treatment of we full drainage area be provided or Of treatment is pro':ioed in series) oversizing i;f tc Downstream facility is required (for storage). In Table 9 the permanent pool volume should he 70m'iha. Based upon a drainage area of 43.3ha the permanent pool and extended detention volumes should be increased. The 25mm volume appears to compensate for the additional active storage needed, however the permanent pool volume appears undersized_ No information is provided to indicate the source of 55% impervious level. The items indicated above need to be addressed before any agreement with the proposed Phase 11 SWM: can be provided. 9. The proposed SWM approach for Phase 11 could, in principle. meet \-10E Guidelines for water quality control (contingent upon information received and finai design) however. the Guidelines are based upon suspended solids control only, primarily for fisheries protection. This approach does not address potential for other water quality concerns such as oil and grease. metals and bacteria. There could ne potential for additional water quality concerns, Mil mom HOSWOHZ 03:tT 900Z- TE -AYW oto'd Zvzoi Mr. Ken Milo, CYTEC April 13, 2005 particularly with proposed commercial use on the site (depending upon the uses). Give Cytec's responsibility for water quality protection on Thompson's Creek, future commercial uses in the watershed could complicate the identification of a contaminant source, if detected in the furure. We suggest that some form of ane ment on shared responsibility with the landowner and i unicipaliry is needed. In summary, there are outstanding concerns with regard with regard to: Need for additional drainage boundary information Potential erosion impacts Effectiveness of Phase 1 SWM Proposed sizing of Phase 11 SWM Effectiveness of Phase 11 SWM for potential contaminants other than suspended solids. Subsequent Submission- Revised Development Plan (enclosed with the City letter to Thomson, Rogers dated March 14, 2005) A subsequent submission was provided for Heartland Forest illustrating a revised layout (see above). The revised layout is significantly different than the layout in the Srormwater Management Plan reviewed and commented upon in this correspondence. The drainage plan and stormwater management will need to be revised to reflect these changes, and the above noted Stormwater Management Plan will require associated changes to demonstrate how site drainage will be managed. We suggest that a request be made that Upper Canada Consultants advise regarding its view of the revised layout on the proposed Stormwarer Management Plan.

This parcel is part of a larger 260 acre (105 hectare) block that is to be developed for the Heartland Forest Resort. The zoning amendment proposed by this application will permit the first phase of the Heartland Forest Resort development. The applicant originally proposed the development of 100 recreational vehicle/trailer sites and a multi-use building as the first phase. City Council approved in principle this original development proposal but the zoning by-law amendment to implement this original proposal was never formally adopted. The applicant recently submitted a revised proposal and now wishes to develop 195 recreational vehicle/trailer sites. Under the original proposal, only about half the 26.6 acre parcel was to be developed for the 100 recreational vehicle/trailer sites. The remaining area was reserved for future development of possible day oriented activities. A number of buildings with extensive car parking areas were contemplated. The revised proposal for 195 trailer sites appears to represent a change in emphasis in that the entire parcel is to be developed for the recreational trailer park. Regional Planning staff have conducted in -depth reviews of and provided extensive comments on two related Heartland Forest Resort applications: (0 Amendment No. 40 to the Niagara Falls Official Plan to provide a policy framework for the development of the overall Heartland Forest Resort, and 0, 0, Ch up ILL•I rnnv •r •urn 2 (ii) the original zoning application for 100 trailer sites as the first stage of development. Many of the issues related to the current revised rezoning application have been discussed in our previous comments. We shall provide an overview of these previously discussed issues as well as evaluate any new issues resulting from the proposed revisions. Environmental Impacts The lands immediately to the west of the proposed recreational vehicle /trailer development have been classified as a Provincially Significant Wetland that must be protected from adverse impacts. Two environmental studies by ESG International dated December 20, 2001 and by L. Campbell and Associates dated January 2, 2004 have been conducted to define the Wetland boundaries and to recommend protective measures. We support the mitigation measures contained in the L. Campbell report and recommend that these measures be implemented through the zoning by -law amendment and applicable development/site plan agreements. The zoning amendment should require a minimum 9 metre building setback and landscape buffer from the Provincially Significant Wetland which should be zoned "Environmental Protection Area (EPA) In addition, the development/site plan agreement should require the placement of barrier fencing along the 9 metre setback line until all construction has been completed. The above zoning provisions and barrier fencing requirements are the primary mitigation measures but additional measures are outlined in the Campbell report and should be included as development requirements by the City. A substantial woodlot is associated with the Provincially Significant Wetland to the west of the proposed recreational vehicle development. The recommended mitigation measures outlined above for the Wetland should also protect the woodiot. In addition, any cutting or removal of trees would have to comply with the provisions of the Region's Tree Conservation By -law. The first phase development area is covered in thicket vegetation. Landscape buffer areas are to be provided along the Kalar Road and Brown Road frontages. The existing vegetation in this buffer area should be maintained and enhanced. In addition, as much vegetation as possible should be retained within the possible trailer development in order to enhance the aesthetics of the development and to provide shade for the patrons of the trailer sites. Therefore, a tree preservation plan should be prepared by a qualified arborist/forester to inventory the vegetation for possible protection and to recommend protection measures. The tree preservation plan should be approved by the City as part of the site plan agreement. Stormwater Drainage The first phase development area itself does not contain any significant drainage courses. However, stormwater drainage from the development must be addressed. Stormwater drainage must be directed away from the Provincially Significant ..11111, 1 1111.1....,nu 111 iii• 1 rnn7 •r .nnn Land Use Compatibility 3 Wetland and drainage swales should not be located within the 9 metre buffer area adjacent to the Wetland. Stormwater drainage is to be channeled via swales to Thompson's Creek which in tum flows into the Welland River. Thompson's Creek is classified as an Important (Type 2) Fish Habitat and the Welland River as a Critical (Type 1) Fish Habitat. A detailed stormwater management plan will be necessary to address water quality and quantity and sedimentation and erosion control measures in accordance with Ministry of the Environment Guidelines. Furthermore, we understand that Cytec has a proprietary interest in Thompson's Creek so the stormwater management plan must consider that interest as well. The Heartland Forest Resort property is surrounded by industrially designated lands. Therefore, the compatibility of the proposed recreational vehicle development with adjacent existing and potential industrial uses needs to be considered. The Cytec operation to the west is a heavy industry but the distance between this industry and the proposed trailer sites exceeds the 1,000 metre influence area identified in the Ministry of the Environment Land Use Compatibility Guidelines (D6). Consequently, there should not be a conflict between the two uses. The Power Grow composting operation and the Regional Sewage Sludge Lagoons to the southwest are potential sources of adverse odours. An Odour Impact Assessment, dated June 2002, was prepared by Stephen Lamming Associates Ltd. to evaluate these potential odour sources. The report concluded that future phases of the Heartland Forest Resort development closer to the two odour sources were more likely to be affected. Nevertheless, a warning clause regarding odours should be incorporated in any agreement with the applicant for the trailer site development. The lands on the east side of Kalar Road are being developed by the City as part of its Montrose Business Park. The Business Park lands are zoned Prestige Industrial (PI) which does not permit industrial uses with outside storage or operations that could produce emissions. The Ministry of the Environment Land Use Compatibility Guidelines (D6) would classify these types of uses as Class I Industries. Such industries have a potential influence area of 70 metres and a recommended minimum separation distance of 20 metres. The closest trailer sites could be about 45 metres from potential adjacent industrial development in the Business Park. The trailer development would satisfy the Ministry's recommended minimum setbacks and only the closest sites would fall within the potential influence area. To minimize potential industrial influences, the applicant should enhance the landscaping /plantings within the buffer strip abutting Kalar Road. The lands on the north side of Brown Road are zoned "Light Industrial (LI) The "Light Industrial" Zone permits a wider range of industrial uses than a Prestige Industrial" Zone but the By-law provisions restrict outside storage and emissions. Therefore, virtually all "Light Industrial" uses could be considered Class I Industries. A drainage course on the north side of Brown Road would restrict industrial development adjacent to the Heartland Forest property. Therefore, the most northerly trailer sites should be compatible with development on the other side of Brown Road subject to enhanced buffering along the Brown Road frontage. uuu,I 111.1111 '11 iu ILL I rnn7 'r 'lino Archaeological Resources Based on Ministry of Culture criteria, the site exhibits moderate to high potential for the discovery of archaeological resources. This assessment is based on its proximity to two watercourses and to known archaeological sites. No site alteration should occur until an archaeological assessment has been prepared and approved by the Ministry of Culture. Servicing and Traffic 4 A Regional watermain is located on Brown Road but it will be necessary to extend a local watermain along Kalar Road to the site. The extension of a sanitary sewer to the site will also be required. Furthermore, the downstream High Lift Pumping Station at McLeod Road has been experiencing wet weather overflows so measures to address these overflows presumably will be necessary. The Heartland Forest Resort property does not abut any Regional roads. However, traffic generated by this development could have an impact on the adjacent Regional roads of Montrose Road and Chippawa Creek Road. Depending on the long term increases in traffic flows, there may be a need to improve intersections along the Regional roads. The Regional Public Works Department is reviewing the servicing and traffic aspects of this development and will be providing detailed comments to the City. Conclusion Regional Planning staff are not opposed to the approval of the zoning by-law amendment to permit the revised first phase of the Heartland Forest development provided the Regional and Provincial interests identified above are addressed. The measures to address these interests are summarized below: that the zoning by -law amendment zone the Provincially Significant Wetland as "Environmental Protection Area (EPA)" and require a 9 metre minimum building setback and landscape buffer from the EPA Zone. that the site plan /development agreement require the placement of barrier fencing along the 9 metre setback line until completion of construction and implement the other recommendations of the L. Campbell and Associates Report dated January 2, 2004. that a tree preservation plan be prepared by a qualified arborist/forester and be approved by the City as part of the site plan agreement. The tree preservation plan should, among other matters, address the maintenance and enhancement of vegetation within the landscape buffer areas along the Kalar Road and Brown Road frontages, ni IIi.i ,nn7 •r .iinn 5 that a detailed stormwater management plan be prepared by a qualified consultant in accordance with current Ministry of the Environment Guidelines. The stormwater management plan should be submitted to the Regional Planning Department for review and approval. The Planning Department may request the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority to assist in the review. that the site plan agreement include a waming clause regarding odours related to the Region's Biosolids Management Facility and the Power Grow composting operation. that an archaeological assessment be prepared and submitted to the Ministry of Culture for review and approved by the Ministry of Culture. A copy of the assessment should be sent to the Regional Niagara Planning Department for information. Please send notice of City Council's decision on this application. Yours truly, A iDavid J.

BACKGROUND: Proposal The amendment is requested for a 0.603 acre (0.244 hectare) parcel of land on the east side of Dorchester Road, between Imperial Court and Stokes Street, as shown on Schedule 1. The property is known municipally as 6186 Dorchester Road. The applicant proposes the construction of a 6 -unit townhouse development (see Schedule 2). The property is currently zoned Residential Single Family 1C Density (RIC). The applicant has requested a site specific Residential Low Density, Grouped Multiple Dwellings (R4) zone to permit the proposed townhouses.

Regional Planning Development The townhouse proposal is consistent with the intensification policies of the Provincial Policy Statement. The driveway design appears to preclude access for Regional waste collection vehicles and alternative pick -up arrangements are necessary. Planning Review Various matters were considered in assessing the application Based on this analysis, approval is recommended. 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 dwelling types is promoted by the Plan to provide a full range of housing opportunities throughout the municipality. This neighbourhood provides a mix of residential uses. A recent plan of subdivision containing single- detached homes abuts the property to the north. Single detached dwellings exist to the west and a small apartment is located directly south. There are single- detached houses as well as apartments on the west side of Dorchester Road. This is a large underutilized lot that has direct access to a major roadway. The density of the proposal is approximately 10 units /acre (25 units/hectare) which is relatively low for multiple unit housing. However, this density is similar to other bungalow -style townhouses in the City and a recently approved development with apartments and single- detached lots to the southwest (6269 Dorchester Road, AM- 36/2004). Subject to appropriate building setbacks and design details, the development will be compatible with the surrounding area. 2. The Zoning By -law amendment to accommodate the design is appropriate. Site specific zoning provisions are requested to allow the proposed townhouse development on the property. The following amendments to the standard R4 zone requirements are recommended to apply to the site. June 13, 2005 -3 PD- 2005 -43 The applicant has advised that a meeting with area residents was conducted where concepts for a two- storey apartment with 12 units and a 6 -unit townhouse project were presented. The townhouse concept was preferred by residents. Staff and the applicant's agent had preliminary discussions on the possible townhouse development which resulted in several site design improvements based on identified issues. The bungalow with loft design and the reduced height of the dwellings respect privacy concerns of neighbours to the north. The building and driveway entrance are situated to minimize impacts on surrounding lands. The setback to the widened portion of Dorchester Road is the same as the homes to the north. There is a slight increase in building coverage (40% compared to the standard 35 but the development would exceed minimum landscaped open space requirements. The amenity area at the rear of the units (north yard) could be increased by 1 metre (3.3 feet) to the typical zoning depth of 7.5 metres (24.6 feet). If residents express concerns, there is an opportunity to shift the dwelling units (excluding the garage portions) closer to the main driveway and reduce landscaping at the front of units to achieve a greater rear yard depth. Based on the unit size and intended market, the developer anticipates passive use of these amenity areas. With such an infill situation, and considering "Smart Growth" principles, the reduced setback from the property line is acceptable. 3. The development will be subject to Site Plan Control. Detailed design issues such as landscaping, fencing, driveway access, lighting and servicing will be addressed through the site plan process. These measures will ensure compatibility with the surrounding properties. Any interested residents may be involved in this review. CONCLUSION: The requested site specific amendment complies with the policies of the Official Plan and the infill project is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement. The development will add to the range of housing types available in the area and will be designed for compatibility. Approval of the application is recommended.

We sell skateboards, wakeboards, snowboards, clothing, shoes, sunglasses and all related accessories.Since our opening In March we have been actively involved with many social events and charrities which need our support in the area. Local Church communities, YMCA, K.Lynn. Foundation, and many more) The doors opened on March 12 and we are now planning our Grand Opening June 18 We are looking forward to putting on an event for the community and not just another "run of the mill" open house, we are in need of your support. Planned: Skateboard Demo put on by Downtown skateboard team, a local team that also own their own business. They sell skateboards as well. The Mad Hatters, a local band that has much recognition in this area. They will be playing in the Cummington Sq. pavilion. 2 wakeboard boats will be in the water allowing some underpriveleged kids the chance to have some furl on a wakeboard.. One of boats is the official boat from Wakestock, the largest wakeboard competition in the world. Some of our suppliers will be showcasing their product to the community on the boulevard of Cummington sq. Nothing will be sold it will just be available for people to view. All sales will take place in our store.This is to create an attraction to the vilalge of Chippawa, in which it so desperatiey needs. So far we have been approved to have a band in the pavilion and have a wake board demo but are not allowed to have the suppliers or the skate board demo. The area of the street that we are looking to rope off for the skateboard demo is a portion of Cummington sq east. This is a one way street and the area that will be used and will not be blocking arty business store front and will not block access to any business. We have a very good relationship with both businesses and can not for -see this being a problem. The issue that we have been told about putting on a skateboard demo here is that skateboarding is prohibited on the street. I believe that many promotions that take place during events and openings ark prohibited on the street but exceptions are made for that time period. We are not asking to block off traffic for a whole day. We need the area for approx 2 hours. I understand that skateboarding cans a stigma but we are trying to change that and with your help and our persistence we believe that we can show the general public that this is a very physically and mentally demanding sport. This is another activity to keep kids active and off the couch and computer and make productive use of their time. The building of the skateboard park only proves that these sports are here to stay. Our goal is to create an event that will give people a reason to come out to Chippawa not just another' sale/grand opening. Just from the few weeks we have been open we have been told by so many 5/31/05 IM+r ai GOD 1b;4d NIAGARA PLUMBING CO customers that they hope we can last because so many other businesses have come and gone in this strip. "This is exactly what Chippawa needs," is what we are told over and over. We do not want to be another statistic but want to be here for a long period of time and give the community and especially th$ youth a store that has the product and service that they expect, need and role models in which they can look up too, We have not received any help or support from our government, who is supposed to support small businesses. All we are looking for is a little cooperation from our city. We are not asking for the very much just some cooperation. Steve and I are very hard working entrepreneurs with 40 hour a week at full time jobs and then this is an additional venture in which we take pride in being able to support community, in which we are looking for support in retum One day we dream that the business will' be our full time job but we know success doesn't come over night. The success of our business hinges on whether or not the whole Niagara region knows we exist and without a successful grand opening we are not able to showcase what we provide and what we represent. Your careful consideration of this request is greatly appreciated and without the help and support of our regional government our business will not last. We can only hope and pray that you will re- consider what has already been taken away from us. This event is something in which we have invested alot of capital in, and more important/ so much more effort, and without the support of our local town at the beginning of ourventu* we do not see ourselves surviving the long road ahead. This matter to us is so very urgent, as we never dreamed that doing something of good nature for the community would have so many pitfalls and hurdles. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us, we would love to have the oppurtunity to actual share these ideas and thoughts with you. You are welcome to come by the store anytime between 12-8.

However, I do not want them skateboarding on any part of Cummington Square. As previously explained, we have had serious problems with skate boards on the Square in the past and the site is soon to reeive a heritage designation. Adele Dean Iorfida 6/3/2005 12:20 PM Adele: Do you have any comments? Thanks Dean Sue Wheeler 6/3/2005 11:38 AM Dean: Page 1 of 1 I've spoken to Karl about the possibility of road closure for this group. If Council permits them to skateboard on the road, we have two options. 1. Close off the East side of Cummington Square between the Parkway Main, no cost to applicant. 2. Close off the north side of Cummington Square between East leg of Square and Main. This is what the applicant stated they preferred, as they indicate they were hoping to have a water sport demonstration at the same time. If they choose to do this, it may be beneficial to pedestrians, who will not have to cross the road to see the sport. There would be a cost to the applicant as we would have to close off the Niagara Parkway at Main Street, to re- direct Niagara Parkway Traffic to Main Street. We would have to have permission as well, from the Niagara Parks Commission. Cost would be for four hours for crew for set up and take down. I will check with Guy Corsini for costs. I will not be in this afternoon, but will be back on Monday.

BACKGROUND: RESERVES Kenneth E. Burden Director Reserves and reserve funds are authorized by City Council via The Municipal Act and other legislation. Reserves and reserve funds are designated by Council approval for a variety of operating and capital uses. This designation process enables Staff to plan the implementation of services and capital projects using reserves and reserve funds as a source of funding in future years. The following is a brief explanation of the kinds of reserves and reserve funds. When reserves are created, the amounts are appropriated from net revenue in the same year and then used for those same purposes in a subsequent year. While reserves may be established for any municipal purpose, the most common is as follows: 1. Reserve for working funds In most municipalities, accounts have to be paid before taxes, grants and other revenues become available, including revenues still to be collected for the previous year. A municipality can obtain a short-term loan to meet this need, but borrowing incurs interest charges. In order to reduce and, if possible, avoid short-term borrowing, a working fund reserve is one financial management technique that can be helpful. It is also a cash management device to enhance cash flow. Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks Finance Human Resources Information Systems Legal Planning Development June 13, 2005 2 F- 2005 -28 2. Reserve for contingencies Such a reserve is established in anticipation of unknown expenditures or liabilities such as emergency repairs, damage claims, etc. If a reserve for contingencies is not created, it could have a significant effect on the future tax levy of the municipality should the liability actually materialize. 3. Reserve for equipment replacement Major items of equipment have to be replaced on a regular basis. In a municipality, such a reserve eliminates the need to levy for the full cost of the equipment in the year of acquisition. This avoids the resulting fluctuation in the tax levy from year to year. RESERVE FUNDS A reserve fund differs from a reserve in that reserve fund assets are segregated and restricted to meet the purpose of the reserve fund. There are two types of reserve funds: obligatory reserve funds and discretionary reserve funds. Obligatory reserve funds are to be used solely for the purpose prescribed for them by Statute. Park Purpose Municipal Parking Development Charges Discretionary reserve funds may be used for a number of different purposes. Some examples of these are: Future expenditures for capital projects Debt retirement Levy or user fee stabilization Promotion of special projects Attached is a copy of the reserves and reserve funds for 2004 showing the balances at January 1, 2004, the amounts added, the amounts used in 2004, and the balances at December 31, 2004.

BACKGROUND: The Armoury Ad Hoc Committee was established by Council on September 20, 2004. The members serving on the Committee are. Aldermen Janice Wing (Chair), Jim Diodati and Vince Kerrio. Through a previous council report, (February 14, 2005) Council approved the evaluation criteria and weighting system that would be used, and also directed that the Community Resource Building (former Carnegie Library) would be added to the Committee's mandate. The report will be broken into two (2) parts; the first will deal with the Armoury and the second with the Community Resource Building. On Thursday, April 7, 2005, Dr. Andy Panko, PhD., PGeo, spoke to the Committee regarding the potential management of the asbestos contained in the internal walls of the building. In Dr. Panko's professional opinion, the asbestos does not need to be removed from the walls of the building. Instead, he is recommending that an asbestos management plan be undertaken and that inspections occur on an annual basis. All groups who utilize the building would have to be made aware of the plan and the City would have to impose conditions whereby groups would not be permitted to, in any way, alter the walls or space without written permission from the City. In Dr. Panko's professional opinion, this would be the least costly method of managing the asbestos problem. Working Together to Serve Our Community Municipal Works Fire Services Parks, Recreation Culture Business Development Building By -Law Services June 13, 2005 2 R- 2005 -25 Presentations were also heard from the following eight 8 groups who had submitted proposals for the use of the Armoury. The Niagara Falls Armoury Museums Coalition Niagara Military Museums Niagara Falls Fashion and Wedding Museum City of Niagara Falls Board of Museums The International Knightly Order of Saint George Niagara Falls Art Gallery Niagara District Arts Association As part of the proposal submission process, all groups were clearly advised that preference would be given to those who placed the least financial liability on the City. After hearing the presentations and reviewing the proposals, it became readily apparent that none of the groups could assume full financial responsibility for the building. Following a full discussion on the merits of each of the proposals, the Committee members are recommending that the prime purpose of the building is to commemorate our veterans and our community military heritage. It was acknowledged by the Committee Members that the building is a very significant symbol of our veterans and the military heritage of our community, and that it was due to the urging of our military groups that the City decided to acquire this important landmark. Working under this premise, the Committee Members are making the following recommendations for Council's Consideration: 1. That the prime function of the building be to commemorate Military Heritage. 2. That minimally, the first floor be dedicated to Military Heritage. 3. That both the Niagara Military Museums and The Niagara Falls Armoury Museums Coalition share the first floor. 4. That the City's Board of Museums manages the entire Armoury building and as their order of business that they co- ordinate a sharing arrangement between the two (2) organizations cited above. 5. That the Board of Museums prepares an overall annual operating and capital budget for the building and surrounding property. 6. That the Board of Museums, in consultation with Staff, develops a formula for the cost per square foot to operate the building. 7. That all the building tenants be responsible for the cost of their respective area based on the cost per square foot formula. 8. That any groups who cannot afford the cost per square foot have the opportunity to approach City Council for funding assistance and that their need for on going funding assistance be reviewed on an annual basis. 9. That all fund- raising be equally shared between the organizations and the City, with the June 13, 2005 3 R- 2005 -25 understanding that the City's portion would help offset the building's operating and capital costs. 12. That no significant changes be made to the current heating and ventilation system. Part 2 Community Resource (CORE) Building There are a number of competing factors impacting the CORE building and these will have to be addressed before a final recommendation can be made on the use and administration of this designated building. These factors are as follows: the existing tenants; the request made by Niagara Falls Tourism for this building, as well as other City buildings; the groups who could not be accommodated in the Armoury; and the future uses of the former Court House (adjacent to City Hall). However, the Committee believes that eventually this building would serve as a needed Community Arts C entre. It would operate under a similar financial arrangement as recommended for the Armoury. Specifically, a cost per square foot formula would be developed and applied to the organization(s) which would use this building. The City would be responsible for the capital improvement costs. The rents charged to the tenant(s) would offset all the building's operating expenses so as not to create a financial liability for the taxpayers. The Members of the Armoury Ad Hoc Committee are willing to continue to function as a Committee in order to resolve the future use of the Community Resource Building. Recommended by: Respectfully submitted: Adele Kon Director of Parks, Recreation Culture Chief Administrative Officer AK/das 10. That the second floor be available to community groups with the understanding that it be used for complementary purposes with themes related to the City's history. 11. That once the City obtains ownership of the building, Staff proceeds with the installation of a new roof and the preparation of an asbestos management plan.

Keighan Neighbourhood Park That the neighbourhood park in the Beaver Valley Subdivision located off of Beaverdams Road be named Robert F. Keighan Neighbourhood Park. Council directed that staff research the naming of a City park in honour of the late Mr. Robert Keighan, who served as a politician for the City, as well as the Niagara Region. A summary of Mr. Keighan's service is as follows: Robert operated a gift shop, was a barber and a self employed realtor. He was well respected in the community and a dedicated family man. Much of his spare time involved being with his family and church. He was also an avid fisherman. A meeting was held with a family member of the late Robert Keighan to discuss the various types, location and use of parks available for naming opportunities. The family selected the 2.5 acre park in the Beaver Valley subdivision. The park is currently undeveloped and it is proposed that the development will commence later this year. The family has requested that a ground breaking Working Together to Serve Our Community Municipal Works Fire Services Parks, Recreation Culture Business Development Building By -Law Services June 13, 2005 ceremony take place in the near future and staff wishes to advise that the family's request can be accommodated.

On June 23, 1884, Order in Council No. 1395 was approved permitting the Canada Southern Railway Company to close a portion of Portage Road and construct a footpath across the subject lands. This approval was as a result of a Notice of Application from the Township Council of Stamford requesting a footpath on the subject lands. The footpath continues to be maintained by the City. Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks Finance Human Resources Information Systems Legal Planning Development May 30, 2005 2 L- 2005 -25 The Ontario Power Generation is currently preparing surveys and title searches on all the lands that the third hydro tunnel will cross and as such, a concern was raised regarding the ownership of the subject lands. Since 1884, when the footpath was created by a federal Order in Council, a clear title was not registered in favour of the City, at the Registry Office. In order to clear this cloud of title, a Quit Claim Deed in favour of The Corporation of the City of Niagara Falls with respect to the subject lands will need to be registered on title.

That the City report information annually to Environment Canada as per Annex "C" of the Code of Practice; and that a copy of the report be forwarded to the Ecological Environmental Adversity Committee for their information On April 3, 2004, Environment Canada issued a "Code of Practice for the Environmental Management of Road Salts." Public road authorities, that meet the minimum requirements of the Code of Practice, had until April 2005 to prepare a Salt Management Plan to better manage their road salt use. Implementation of the Salt Management Plan must commence by early 2006. Environment Canada is to be informed when a Salt Management Plan is completed and when implementation begins (see attached letter of notification). By June of each year, following implementation, the City is required to report the salt management progress to Environment Canada, according to the Annex "C" of the code of practice. The Salt Management Plan has been attached to this report for Council's information. The Salt Management Plan establishes goals and deadlines that staff should achieve to ensure compliance with various elements of the plan. Further reports and studies will need to be undertaken to fulfill the City's obligations under the Salt Management Plan. Along with the service delivery review, this report will be used to develop new policies and practices of the winter maintenance operations. Until these new policies and practices have been established, we cannot determine the financial impacts that this report will have on the winter maintenance budget.

In the 2004 Municipal Bridge /Culvert Appraisal Study, Weightman Bridge, Portage Road at the Welland River, was found to be in poor condition. The road surface, the expansion joints and sections of the railings, concrete deck and sidewalks are in poor condition. Also, the steel girders have areas of medium to severe corrosion. A deck condition survey is required to determine the level of deterioration in the bridge deck. The Pre Design Analysis will examine rehabilitation options for the bridge including costing and detail the recommended rehabilitation with estimated costs. The Weightman Bridge Deck Condition Survey and Pre Design Analysis will provide proper costing for budget purposes and provide the necessary information required to prepare the engineering design for the recommended rehabilitation strategy. In accordance with the City's Consultant Selection Policy, direct appointment for Consultants up to $60,000.00, Ellis Engineering Inc. has been selected to complete this work. Ellis Engineering Inc. has carried out similar work for the City of Niagara Falls in the past. Staff is therefore recommending that they be retained for this work.

The Arts and Culture Committee has requested that Peer Lane be changed to Nathaniel Dett Lane. Peer Lane is a short laneway that extends from Stanley Avenue to Allendale Avenue. There are six properties that abut the laneway, with two of these properties having Peer Lane as their address (see attached location map). Comments were sought from Legal Services, Municipal Works, City Clerk, Fire, Police, Canada Post and the Ambulance Authority, as well as Niagara Falls Museum Board, the City Historian and the Fallsview BIA. The City's practice has been to first conduct a preliminary review of such requests for street name changes. Based on the findings of the preliminary review, Council may wish to proceed to the next step as prescribed by the Municipal Act. The Municipal Act dictates public notification requirements for changing a street name. A notice must be placed in the newspaper, once a week for four consecutive weeks, advising of Council's intention to change a street name. A public meeting must be held. Any person who feels they would be adversely affected or have concerns regarding the proposed name change may speak at the meeting, or submit comments. If the name is changed, a by -law must be registered and formal notice given to the public, agencies and emergency services. Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks Finance Human Resources Information Systems Legal Planning Development June 13, 2005 2 PD- 2005 -42 General Review Nathaniel Dett was born and educated in Drummondville; he went on to achieve intemational acclaim as both a musician and composer. He is buried in Fairview Cemetery. The City Historian has confirmed that his family home was located on Ferry Street near Peer Lane, so he would have been familiar with the area No objections were received from circulated divisions and agencies. It is fitting that this street name change may serve to further honour and respect this part of the City's heritage. The Peer name, also important in the City's history, will remain with Peer Street. CONCLUSION: As there has been general support for the requested street name change, the matter should be referred to Legal Services for continuation of the street name change process.

Draft final report May 2005 A. The need for a plan Heritage means many different things. To some, it is an over fondness for the past, at the expense of constructive change. To others, it is a legacy of shared experience, as evidenced in tangible remains and intangible memories. In- creasingly, heritage is being seen as a recognition of history's value in our cul- ture, an acceptance of the past as an integral part of everyday life and as a guide to the future. Heritage resources, then, can include not just the build- ings, monuments and museum artefacts that normally get recognized but also a full range of other resources such as landscapes, archaeological sites, and sites associated with a person, event or activity. This rich treasury of objects and memories is an essential part of a community's sense of place. It is also a source of great interest to visitors. Heritage can thus build community and support economic growth. Heritage resources in Niagara Falls are too seldom given their due and there is immense potential for interpreting and enhancing resources of all types. Nia- gara Falls is unusual in having an internationally famous natural feature that alone has generated a distinct popular culture. Add to this the considerable ar- chaeological, built and cultural landscape features of the city and the inter- pretive scope vastly increases. The important aspect of these often hidden re- sources is their potential to revive and sustain economic activity via community and tourism development. The City of Niagara Falls recognizes the need to manage and promote her- itage. The Heritage Master Plan is an ambitious attempt to move heritage out of the shadows and into the spotlight. The Plan does so in two ways: by pro- viding a policy framework for the conservation of the City's heritage resources and by examining ways in which development of those resources can produce economic benefits. In the text that follows, the study team, in consultation with the project steer- ing committee and a variety of other interested parties, has addressed the study terms of reference. There are four main sections: an overview of heritage resources; a review of heritage activity; an assessment of the economic devel- opment potential of heritage; and final recommendations and an action plan. Heritage can thus build community and support economic growth. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3 B. Challenges and Opportunities Our study identified the following key issues that a Master Plan must address: e Heritage conservation isn't a priority There is little co- ordination of heritage activity Heritage activity is hampered by a lack of resources The potential for development of heritage resources and heritage tourism is not recognized locally C. Why Heritage has Great Potential for Economic and Community Development This study presents arguments supporting the idea that Niagara Falls has the heritage resources needed to attract new visitors and improve quality of life for local residents. In case readers remain unconvinced, however, the following is a distillation of recent market and cultural trends in North America. The points made are, we feel, further proof that there is great potential for her- itage -based development in Niagara Falls. First, some tourism market trends of particular relevance: HISTORIC /CULTURAL TRAVELLERS REPRESENT A HUGE, GROWING AND LUCRATIVE MARKET IN NORTH AMERICA 81% of US adults who took at least one trip of 50 miles or more, one way, away from home in 2002 included at least one historic or cultural activity this represents 56% of the US adult population E Four in ten adults who traveled in the last year visited a designated historic site v Historic and cultural travellers are affluent and well educated, more likely to use paid lodging than the average traveler and will often extend their trip specifically to participate in historic or cultural activities Historic /cultural travellers spend more money on historic /cultural trips compared to the average US trip (US$623 vs US$457 excluding transportation costs) For 30% of historic /cultural travellers their destination choice was influenced by a specific historic or cultural event or activity a Historic travellers are more likely than average trip in US to take a 4 NIAGARA FALLS HERITAGE MASTER PLAN vacation for 7 nights or more, by air, staying in a hotel The TAMS ageing analysis prepared by the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation indicated the historic /cultural traveler market will be a strong growth market over the next 25 years UNIFORMITY IS HAPPENING WITH TOURISM ATTRACTIONS IN MANY MAJOR URBAN DESTINATIONS RESULTING IN HOMOGENEOUS VISITOR EXPERIENCES Major urban destinations in North America have been pursuing the same A list" of attractions for some years now, including the following: Convention centre in 70s and 80s Convention Centre expansion in 80s and 90s Casino a Atrium -style convention hotel Aquarium Festival retail /entertainment district Domed stadium /arena with major league franchises These assets, although important, will not enhance a city's competitive posi- tion on their own. Today the more successful cities are focusing on unique in- digenous attractions and attributes to complement the big tourism infrastruc- ture. Heritage is one of the key attributes that can create a competitive difference for an urban destination. AUTHENTICITY IS INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT IN TODAY'S TOURISM MARKETPLACE Two major pieces of tourism market research in the US clearly point out the growing demand for authentic experiences. Thirteen years of research by the firm American LIVES Inc revealed that 26% of the US adults (50 million adults) have changed their world views, values and way of life their culture in short. This group of Americans have been dubbed the Cultural Creatives, and they represent a growing proportion of the US population. One of the key characteristics of this market segment is they are looking for authenticity, and they are rejecting things that are felt to be "plastic, fake, or imitation." These people are very interested in arts and culture, and they will begin to exert a growing influence on American society. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 5 Another major piece of tourism research completed in 2002 by the Travel In- dustry Association of America, sponsored by National Geographic Traveler, characterizes over one third of the US traveling public as "Geotourists Geo- tourists are well traveled, affluent, well educated people who are very con- cerned with preserving a destination's geographic character. Geographic char- acter includes the entire combination of natural and human attributes that make one place distinct from another, including heritage. These tourists have a strong interest in learning about the history of the areas they visit, and vis- iting historic and archaeological sites. These two bodies of research clearly point out the large and growing propor- tion of the American traveling public who are seeking authentic experiences including heritage. These statistics are believed to be similar in Canada and likely in Europe as well. Niagara Falls tourism is largely based on the international iconic awareness and attraction of the falls. Currant visitation is large (12 million person visits) but the economic impact is comparatively small because of the short visitor stays (average of $116 per person visit). Niagara Falls has strong heritage po- tential but requires more product development and interpretation. Heritage product could play a significant role in diversifying the tourist experience in Niagara Falls, broadening the appeal to new market segments and presenting an enhanced experience for existing visitors. Heritage tourism could help to extend visitor length of stay and the economic impact of tourism. Heritage is one of the indigenous assets upon which Niagara Falls should capitalize. Some cultural trends also have particular application to Niagara Falls: OLDER URBAN AREAS ARE EXPERIENCING A RENAISSANCE ACROSS CANADA. Canadians are becoming a nation of ciry- dwellers, with over 50% of citizens living in metropolitan areas After years of neglect in favour of suburban expansion, older downtown areas are becoming the focus of intense real estate development activity Driving this trend is an increasing desire amongst people of all demographic groups to live in or close to central areas m The most desirable areas are mature downtown neighbourhoods, former industrial areas, and traditional commercial cores 6 NIAGARA FALLS HERITAGE MASTER PLAN In these areas, heritage buildings often fetch the highest prices, and heritage districts the highest property values Quality of life and community character are key selling points: components contributing to these values are a mix of land uses, older buildings, mature landscapes, and vibrant local culture THE PRESENCE OF SUCH AREAS IS ESSENTIAL TO ATTRACTING NEW FORMS OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND NEW RESIDENTS. The loss of primary industry, major corporations, and government jobs has left many cities in limbo: those that are recovering are able to attract new business and new citizens by offering a diverse urban lifestyle Studies referenced in this report note the rise of a group in North American society termed the Cultural Creatives: these people not only form the core of the heritage tourism industry, they are the driving force behind the knowledge -based industries that are replacing traditional economic elements in cities across the continent Essential to these people is an authentic setting, vibrant local arts and culture, learning institutions, and a socially conscious community Furthermore, the leading cities are those that score high on what author Richard Florida has termed the tolerance index and the creative index: in other words, they build on their physical and technical infrastructure levels of talent and tolerance that attract creative people, the very people needed to stimulate and enhance local economies and communities AS IN A NATURAL ECOSYSTEM, DIVERSITY IS STRENGTH: CITIES THAT RELY ON A SINGLE INDUSTRY OR ON INFLEXIBLE MODES OF OPERATION ARE VULNERABLE TO LARGER SCALE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL CHANGE. Waiting for traditional industries to return, focusing on the current dominant industry, resisting innovation, and not paying attention to community development are typical responses of cities that have little growth potential and are prone to economic decline Mixed use, innovative and diverse economies along with multi cultural, tolerant and cohesive communities are the mainstays of growth today Municipalities alone cannot effect significant change; they must work in partnership with their citizens, with other public agencies, and with the private sector EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 7 Although it may seem counter intuitive, the international Slow Cities movement is gaining momentum; its objectives are to focus local economic activity on goods and services produced locally, to celebrate authenticity and quality in local communities, and to replace haste and "progress" with appreciation of everyday life s The related Slow Foods movement is becoming popular in many parts of Canada: it too emphasizes locally grown and prepared foods, local recipes, linking consumers to producers, and savouring the results IN SUCH PROGRESSIVE, GROWING CITIES, HERITAGE CONSERVATION IS BECOMING AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF MUNICIPAL POLICY. As noted by author Anthony Tung, the 20th century was arguably the most destructive in the history of mankind in terms of the loss of material evidence of human life (buildings, landscapes, entire communities) a Halting this trend and re- investing in heritage settings not only makes the most of a city's unique aspects, it also creates civic pride and leads to a multiplier effect of investment by the private sector in both heritage and non heritage properties (as shown in the example of Victoria, BC) a Making heritage the city's "brand" is becoming increasingly common and demonstrably successful (e.g. Saint John's, Quebec City, Victoria) Using heritage as a competitive advantage over rival cities is also becoming more common (as in the case of Montreal) Heritage areas are valued by both visitors and residents alike; they can be important gathering places for strangers and local people These disparate but related points show how other places less blessed than Ni- agara Falls are making progress in an evolving economy and society. There must be a realization that change is necessary: in Niagara Falls, this means a shift away from a sole concentration on mass tourism towards a diversified economy and a revitalized local culture. Economic development and commu- nity development are both needed. The Falls has been the mainstay for too long, and there is much more to the city than that single natural wonder. Moreover, even in two centuries of focusing on tourism, Niagara Falls has al- ways managed to re- invent itself in response to changing tastes and markets. There is no reason to believe that its citizens have lost that knack now. 8 NIAGARA FALLS HERITAGE MASTER PLAN D. A New Role for Heritage In response to this potential, the Master Plan lays out a new future for heritage activity in Niagara Falls. There are five main objectives which guide the action plan: 1. Better information on heritage resources 2. Improved conservation and interpretation of heritage resources 3. A strengthened management framework 4. Development and promotion of heritage tourism products 5. Enhanced community support E. Guiding Principles for Implementation The new Plan establishes six basic principles for achieving these objectives, via an Action Plan: 1. Focus on the local community 2. Set modest goals 3. Strengthen existing heritage groups 4. Create an organizational framework 5. Find a central home for heritage activity 6. Make partnerships work E Action Plan These objectives and their component actions provide detailed responses to the strategies outlined for each of the four subject areas in this Master Plan. Now it is necessary to set these objectives and actions within a timeline so that effort can be focused on the most pressing items and the most immediate con- cerns. The following action plan steps are arranged under Master Plan princi- ples (outlined in Section 4.2, above) and in two time periods: the first five years, and the next five years. Using these principles as a guide, the Action Plan outlines the steps required for success. The Action Plan is divided into two phases: components that should be implemented quickly (in the first five years) and those that follow soon after (in years 5 -10).

What Next? The Master Plan recommends a strengthened role for the City. By acting as a catalyst for heritage activity, in concert with other public agencies, volunteer groups, and the private sector, the municipality can accomplish the aims pro- posed in this study. The individual roles are spelled out below: The City can best contribute by committing funding and staff to heritage ac- tivity. It can act as a co- ordinator and enabler: helping volunteer groups be- come better organized and putting them on a business footing; consolidating and promoting existing cultural institutions; and smoothing the development control process for new construction on heritage properties. Through a "her- itage- first" process, the City can show leadership by rehabilitating munici- pally -owned heritage properties for public use. It can fund improvements to public infrastructure, implement the municipal elements of the proposed Master Plan, and help market heritage generally. Moreover, it can use its plan- ning and development policies to foster community -based improvements that enhance local pride while conserving heritage resources. Other public agencies can become partners with the City in a variety of her- itage- supportive ways. They can co- ordinate their development plans, help provide heritage tourism product and marketing, and foster collective efforts to establish a regional centre for visitor orientation and interpretation. Cur- rent initiatives such as Doors Open Niagara and the Bi- National Tourism Al- liance are confident steps in this direction. 12 NIAGARA FALLS HERITAGE MASTER PLAN Volunteer groups can continue their efforts to conserve, interpret and pro- mote heritage resources. They can take on an enhanced role through training by the City in preparing inventories, sponsoring events and collecting histor- ical information. The groups should work towards common goals and objec- tives, in co- operation with City staff. The private sector can demonstrate leadership through sponsoring studies and improvements to older commercial areas, by renovating older structures for new uses, and by fostering skills training for heritage tradespeople. It can work in partnership with the City and volunteer groups to resolve common issues. Most of all, it can grasp the many opportunities to develop heritage tourism product and begin to generate the economic benefits such development can bring. Overall, the Heritage Master Plan advocates strategies to overcome a poten- tially negative situation and, instead, to foster a new appreciation of heritage and a new spirit of co- operation between the City and other stakeholders. The City can begin by getting its own house in order, then by showing leadership in promoting heritage activity of all kinds. The aim is to set in motion an im- proved process for managing heritage resources, one that is collaborative, in- novative, economically sound, and which emphasizes the unique character of the City's component communities.
