NEW BUSINESS The City of Niagara Fall Canada Members: RECOMMENDATION: BACKGROUND: Corporate Services Department PD- 2006 -34 Planning Development 4310 Queen Street P.O. Box 1023 Niagara Falls, ON L2E 6X5 web site: www.niagarafalls.ca Tel.: (905) 356 -7521 Fax: (905) 356-2354 E -mail: planning @niagarafalls.ca His Worship Mayor Ted Salci and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Re: PD- 2006 -34, Adoption of Downtown Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) and Moving Forward Costs It is recommended that Council approve the following: May 8, 2006 Doug Darbyson Director 1. That the Downtown Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) be adopted, subject to staff being directed to proceed with the implementation of the Plan as follows: prepare the necessary Environmental Assessment documents for the eastern and western gateways which will explore alternatives and resolve issues; completion of urban design guidelines, official plan and zoning review, and engineering designs for Queen Street improvements; determine the need for a public parking garage and consolidated surface parking lots through a downtown transportation master plan; completion of a return on investment study; proceed with a property acquisition and disposition investigation; and 2. That funding of $1.66 million be short termed financed pending a financial report to be presented at a 2006 Budget Amendment Meeting to cover the costs of necessary studies to accelerate the public realm improvements. In December 2004, City Council adopted the Downtown Community Improvement (CIP) prepared by RCI Consulting and Green Scheels Pidgeon. The CIP was approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs in March 2005. The CIP presents a vision for the future of a revitalized Downtown. Under the CIP, Council is empowered with the additional abilities to buy and sell land; rehabilitate or Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks Finance Human Resources Information Systems Legal Planning Development May 8, 2006 2 PD- 2006 -34 improve buildings; and make grants and loans (among other things) provided the purpose is to carry out the recommendations of the Downtown Community Improvement Plan. In August 2005, City Council (in partnership with the Downtown BIA) contracted with V Studio Consultants to prepare a Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP elaborates on the CIP with specific recommendations to kickstart the revitalization of the downtown. Jay Valgora of V Studio has made two presentations to Council and conducted a Public Meeting (in conjunction with staff) on March 23, 2006. As a result of input from the public and comments provided by City staff, a final version of the Strategic Implementation Plan is being submitted and presented for Council's consideration. Overview of the SIP As the caption implies, the Downtown "Strategic Implementation Plan" is a detailed strategy to revitalize the downtown based on a committed time frame to design and construct specific improvements. The SIP targets four improvement projects identified in the Downtown Community Improvement Plan as the first phase of the revitalization programme. These improvements consist of the following: 1. Revitalization of Queen Street, including a New Civic Square Queen Street is to be rebranded into three retail districts: neighbourhood, destination and national. The SIP calls for the rebuilding of Queen Street within the existing road allowance to provide wider sidewalks, trees and lighting at an appropriate scale. Overall, the goal is to create distinct walkable retail districts downtown. A larger, defined civic square with integrated public activities is part of the revitalization effort in order to encourage citizens to visit and participate in the downtown and build civic pride. The Civic Square is one of the new park areas. 2. Creation of an Eastern Gateway and River Embankment Park Improvements to the intersection of Queen Street and River Road are needed to visually and functionallycormect the downtown with River Road. The consultant's vision is a realignment of River Road along Zimmerman Avenue which would bring vehicles further into the downtown and provides an opportunity to create a gateway further up the hill in order to overcome poor sightlines created by topographical limitations. It is the intent that the realigned roadway would create a public park next to the gorge and river for local citizens and visitors. It is acknowledged that there are landowners opposed to the River Embankment Park concept. Public consultation is required to occur as part of the Environmental Assessment process where alternatives are considered and issues resolved before any road changes can occur. 3. Creation of a Western Gateway and Victoria Park Square Creating a new entranceway at Valley Way and Victoria Avenue would resolve an undesirable 5 -leg intersection and would encourage people to drive into the downtown from the western part of the City. This new gateway is focused on a new open space park for neighbourhood activities. Surrounding the new gateway are opportunities to create taller mixed use developments. As indicated above, an Environmental Assessment will have to be carried out to consider alternatives. May 8, 2006 3 PD- 2006 -34 4. Organizing and Maximizing Parking Efficiencies Improvements in parking are considered to be essential to attract new urban retailers to the core, especially the national brands. In order to stimulate interest by businesses to locate downtown, a new parking garage is recommended in the SIP. This garage would also serve the identified cultural district in the future. In addition, existing parking lots should be made more efficient by removing barriers and combining adjacent private lots with public lots. The SIP does not contain a specific schedule; the consultant has stated 30 months may be a reasonable time frame for these first phase works. Aaron Lichtman has requested that this first phase work occur by May 2008. The accelerated time frame is proposed as a result of private sector development initiatives to renovate and re -tenant approximately 175,000 sq. ft. of retail space for national brand retailers. The intent of the request is to expedite the work to coordinate public sector projects with private revitalization efforts. Additional Phases of Redevelopment The SIP contemplates that the momentum resulting from infrastructure and private sector investment in Phase I will carry forward into subsequent phases of downtown revitalization. Further retail development in the form of destination shopping and neighbourhood convenience facilities will spin off of the national retail developments. One of the key components of the SIP is the redevelopment of Erie Avenue which provides a significant opportunity to expose visitors arriving by bus and train by connecting this transportation hub at Bridge Street with Queen Street. New buildings would strengthen the urban feel of the area and provide an integrated gateway to the arts and cultural district. Another component of the SIP is new residential development. The SIP lays the groundwork for the creation of a high -rise residential area at the eastern gateway to the downtown. The old CP railway corridor extending from the tourist area into the downtown provides a link to draw tourists to the downtown through a walking and cycling path and a rubber tire trolley -type vehicle could provide a shuttle service. The railway corridor extending along Park Street from Erie Avenue to Victoria Avenue is seen as a public realm improvement for a linear park with additional opportunities to improve /intensify housing in the area. These subsequent phases of development have not been fully articulated in the SIP as the plan has focused on the tactical improvements required for the first phase. Time Frame The CIP anticipated the targeted improvement projects downtown would occur through short, medium and long -term priorities. Aaron Licthman is seeking a commitment by City Council to accelerate the first four components as a major infusion to attract new retailers to the downtown and stimulate investment in redevelopment of the downtown Enhanced public realm improvements such as parks, attractive streetscapes throughout the core, greater integration of street access and enhanced parking factor into strengthening the downtown. The projected cost for the public realm work by the City is approximately $35 million. This figure does not include any property acquisition costs. The public realm work expenditures are the visible and tangible evidence to investors and business operators that could encourage the private sector to commit their own financial resources. Through this report, Council is being requested to support the funding of specific studies necessary to accelerate the first four components noted above Each of the Division Heads from Municipal May 8, 2006 4 PD- 2006 -34 Works, Planning Development, Legal, Parks Recreation Culture and Finance has provided cost estimates for the studies necessary to accelerate the work and they are outlined in the following: 1. Municipal Works Road Reconstruction and Street Improvements City staff has determined that the costs to implement the improvements to the roads are in the order of $12 million and it includes off road improvements, street lighting and associated landscaping, sidewalks as well as some underground infrastructure. It is estimated that the engineering required to complete the design work would be approximately $600,000. As Engineering does not have the in -house resources to take on the project, an external engineering consultant is required. Parking It is estimated that in order to provide the necessary parking to facilitate the proposed development, a parking structure and improvements to the existing City surface lots will be required. The estimated costs to carry out this work is $13.9 million of which $11.55 million is earmarked for a parking structure. While there has been a suggestion that the City construct the parking structure, staff suggests that an investigation should be initiated to consider alternatives such as the private sector constructing the structure or providing a financial contribution. The alternative suggestion stems from a review of the City's parking requirements for downtown which will require part of the downtown to be developed for national retail and cultural facilities to provide on site parking. In spite of the above, staff has determined that a downtown transportation master plan needs to be initiated that will look at parking and traffic as a whole based on the proposed developments for downtown. The costs to carry out a transportation master plan is approximately $200,000. Environmental Assessments (EA) hi order to carry out the various improvements recommended and in particular the parking structure, and improvements to the east and west gateways, Environmental Assessments will have to be carried out. It is estimated that the costs to carry out three EA's is approximately $200,000. Implementation As indicated, outside consultants will be required in order to proceed with the works as identified. In order to meet the 2008 opening of the downtown, consultants need to be retained by June of 2006 so that construction can be carried out in 2007. In order to meet that time line, Municipal Works staff has begun the process of developing Requests for Proposals and will be forwarding them onto consultants so that when a decision is made by Council, the appropriate action can be taken. 2. Planning Development Urban Design Guidelines Urban Design Guidelines are required to encourage appropriate renovations to existing buildings and the development of new buildings downtown. The guidelines are important in May 8, 2006 5 PD- 2006 -34 order to establish a high quality urban environment capable of attracting businesses and people. The level of design expertise and resources necessary are not available in -house and the work would be contracted to an outside consultant. Terms of Reference have been prepared and a call for proposals has occurred. The cost for this work is $50,000 and has been budgeted in the 2006 Special Purpose Reserves. It is estimated that this work will take six (6) months to complete. The Guidelines will be used to assist landowners with an approach to improve buildings and to provide staff the necessary tools to assess applications for funding made under the financial incentive programs in the CIP. Official Plan Policies and Zoning Provisions The Downtown CIP directs that the Official Plan be updated with new policies to provide a stronger role for the downtown within the commercial hierarchy and to reflect the direction embodied in the CIP. The Strategic Implementation Study further defines the redevelopment of the downtown within each of the districts. Policies would address the public realm improvements and establish the context for comprehensive redevelopment. In order to be "development ready" for investors, the zoning by -law provisions are required to be developed to regulate the new height and density regime which would work in conjunction with the Urban Design Guidelines. Staff will prepare the necessary Terms of Reference and it is estimated that the cost to perform this work would be $50,000. It is anticipated that an 8- month time period would be necessary to complete this work. 3. Legal Services Legal Counsel and Property Services Legal Services estimates that the costs that would be incurred to undertake work necessary to implement Phase I would be approximately $420,000. The primary cost would be for the use of a senior legal counsel from a law office with expertise in the land development field. This would ensure that the City had sufficient experience and expertise at its disposal to deal with the complicated issues that it anticipates would arise in such a project. A secondary cost is for a property specialist. Such a specialist would provide expertise in the areas of preparing a Land Acquisition and Sale Strategy, advising on land values and reviewing appraisals as well as conducting negotiations on behalf of the City in any land acquisition and sale matters. Additional costs included in this estimate relate to professional appraisal fees, land registry and title searching fees and advertisements that may be required to give public notice where appropriate. The costs of actual land acquisition that may be required as part of the implementation are not included in the estimated cost. 4. Parks, Recreation Culture Park Development There are five park areas that are identified in Phase 1 of the SIP and the total costs to develop the parks is $8.66 million. This budget estimate does not include the purchase of land, decommissioning of existing buildings, demolition, surveying or consultant fees. The detailed park design component for each of the five parks will be carried out by consultants with input from current staff. The cost for park design consultants is estimated to be $120,000. There will be an additional cost for assistance to oversee the actual park development. Project Costs for Studies to Implement Phase 1 of SIP Timing Municipal Works Road Streetscape Design 600,000 June 2006 -March 2007 Transportation Master Plan 200,000 June 2006 January 2007 Environmental Assessments 200,000 August 2006- January 2007 Planning Development Urban Design Study 50,000 June 2006 December 2006 Official Plan/Zoning By -law 50,000 June 2006 February 2007 Legal Legal Counsel 300,000 June 2006 -May 2008 Property Specialist 120,000 June 2006 -May 2008 Finance Financial Impact Study 20,000 June 2006 September 2006 Parks, Recreation Culture Park Planning Design 120,000 June 2006 January 2008 Total $1,660,000 May 8, 2006 6 PD- 2006 -34 5. Finance Financial Impact Study Financial impacts include interest on the loan programs, facade grants, tax increment financing, development charge waivers and public realm improvements. Based on the redevelopment of other downtowns, such as Charleston, South Carolina, it is apparent that the improvements could have a significant favourable impact on property assessment. Finance has identified the need to hire an outside consultant to verify staff' s analysis of the financial impacts on costs, revenues, services and uses of funds including debt and taxation. 6. Chart of Projected Costs, and Funding for Studies The following summarizes the projected study costs to implement Phase 1 of the SIP. Funding for some of the projected study costs has already been provided from the Parking Reserve Fund ($200,000) and the Planning Special Purpose Reserve ($50,000). The remaining balance of $1,410,000 requires Council authorization to use short term financing until Council subsequently determines how to finally fund the remaining balance. This subsequent decision would form part of the forthcoming finance report that would be presented at a public meeting to consider a 2006 Budget Amendment. CONCLUSION: Council and the Downtown BIA have initiated action to bring renewed interest in the downtown. Public meetings indicate good community support for a strong and vibrant downtown and staff is recommending that the City proceed with the due diligence necessary with the completion of necessary studies and designs. Municipal leadership is needed to ensure each investment contributes to the larger goal. The SIP provides a framework to guide municipal and private actions downtown. The adoption of the SIP will ensure that there is a plan and systematic approach to renew the downtown. It is a tool which Council can use not only to implement the CTP, but also to demonstrate May 8, 2006 7 PD- 2006 -34 to other government levels the commitment of the municipality while seeking upper level assistance. While the hard costs to implement the actual development will be presented to Council down the road, the approval of funds to undertake the necessary studies will signify the City's commitment to initiate the redevelopment process.

Falls L2H 1Z6 905 354 9413 Comments of the Strategic Implementation Plan for Downtown March 23, 2006 First I would like to compliment the Mayor and City Council on their efforts to renew the Downtown. It is a difficult, complicated and risky endeavour I went to City Hall where I was received by staff with courtesy and cooperation, obtained and read the Community Improvement Plan for Downtown and read the Strategic Implementation Plan I found the S.I.P. document to be an inadequate means of informing the Public on this initiative. The photographs were untitled, the computer simulations unlabelled, the maps illegible with incomplete legends and the print information in point form with scant detail However some problems were evident. At the council meeting by the planners the emphasis was placed on the fact shoppers now wish to park in front of the store they want to enter. Queen Street has this now and with adequate road allowance for easy maneuvering into and out of parking spaces. The proposal to widen sidewalks and narrow the road creates congestion where none exists. The proposal for the city to effect a partnership with the private sector on organizing parking downtown is unsupported by detail as to financial, management or maintenance divisions and responsibilities. The building by the city of a parking garage AT THIS TIME is not supported by any need as the parking supply now available is described by the planners as underutilized. The idea seems to be "build it and they will come" with the very vague and unsubstantiated vision of a theatre that may or may not be built with Provincial and Federal grants that may or may not be contributed. The city has no funds at this time and would be fiscally irresponsible to build an unnecessary parking garage when our roads are in poor shape to drive on. The entrance into downtown from River Road as shown in the photographs in the planners book picture an uninspiring but clear uncluttered corner (also noted in the C.I.P.) with some greenery that could with improved signage, landscaping and active promotion provide the tourists with a well defined entrance to downtown. Since the stated purpose of the renewal is for the( and I quote) "locals" I am sure the locals can find both entrances to downtown without such major and expensive changes. The condominium development seems to be incomplete. Leaving aside the three condo towers, the various levels of condos do not appear to have any parking, the amount of green space seems inadequate and the traffic patterns that will develop are unclear. The logic of narrowing one of the main roads while building in increasing amounts of residential and city traffic totally escapes me. Add in a twelve story hotel in the immediate vicinity then take the three condo towers (which do not resemble the Thin towers called for in the C.I.P. and what seems a problem of density becomes a crisis. Can our fire safety units and police access and serve this development. It would seem any tax revenue would soon be used up in service requirements The value of a city park to the condo developer or developers at this location is very evident, but the city taxpayers as a whole should not be obliged to install this park and as the city budget this year has shown any new city green space comes with a further price tag for required maintenance. I believe the idea of having people reside in a commercial, retail area has proven merit. The problem here is the number of units. The proposal to present Queen Street as a heritage area would maintain its image better if not juxtaposed in this area with condo towers but a development more in keeping with the Heritage brand in height, density and appearance. The C.I.P. calls for the four block area "Southern Residential Neighbourhood" at Morrison as multi unit and would be a more appropriate location for towers. The area around the Falls itself has a wall of concrete, are we to build a wall along the gorge as well, always remembering the States may be led by our example. "The resolutions and Policies to be adopted by the city" twelve requirements the S.I.P. deems to be mandatory appear to constrain the actions of this and future city councils over a number of years. While any developer or developers need a stable and clear commitment to minimize their risk point six perhaps would leave other areas of the city at risk of losing at present unforeseen but desirable development.. Point four the establishment of a leadership task force to manage the cities responsibilities under S.I.P. seems reasonable and necessary but surely makes point five "a full time staff person" redundant if the leadership task force is competent Point eight about city land acquisition and access is dealt with in the C.I.P. by calling for R.F.P. (request for proposals)) and nothing less should be negotiated under the S.I.P. I did not see in either the C.I.P. or S.I.P. any notice taken or measures introduced to address the social implications of this renewal.. The area is presently home to many homeowners tenants and some small businesses, that will have difficulty in adjufting to the new financial status of the renewed downtown. While the businesses and perhaps even the homeowners will receive some compensation, affordable housing is not mentioned. Affordable housing should be a component of any renewal plan and should be in this area or another close to the most likely source of employment the Tourism district. One final concern I have is that if the city undertakes the expensive outlays called for in this plan, it would not only have further eroded the "pay as you go" philosophy but will be in no position to address the railway right of ways that impede traffic now and will do so even more in the future. The inability of emergency vehicles to access the city as a whole may result in the city being held financially liable and morally responsible in a catastrophic or unfortunate event. Using the budget figures released in the Review the expected debt by 2008, the same year the planners have used as a deadline, will be approx. fifty three million dollars needing seven million to service it annually. If the city can get grants and so forth from the other levels of government and manages to reduce the outlay of thirty five million s to twenty five millions the taxpayers would face a debt of seventy five millions and a rough estimate of ten millions to service it. What a debt for future taxpayers to deal with. I wish the Mayor and city council great success in reinvigorating and renewing downtown and sincerely hope the difficulties I forsee are resolvable with a minimal expense to the city.

Fr. Kevin Block, Christ Church 2. The Mulligan Family, 4671 River Road 3. A. J. Mascarin, Solicitor to the Mulligan Family Thank you, Cathy DATE: April 3, 2006 March 28, 2006 Dear Mayor Salci and City Council Members: Two weeks ago I had an encouraging conversation with Mr. Aaron Lichtman and felt enthused about plans for the renewal of downtown Niagara Falls. For several reasons I am in favour of major renewal, following an exciting plan that will be good for all citizens, probably including Christ Church. I was not under the impression, however, that businesses and homes would be forcibly expropriated from people who have been working hard for years to improve things on their own. I hope that a way can be found to accommodate and work with people who do not want to sell, and that their dreams and wishes can be included in the vision for a revitalized downtown Niagara Falls.

Box 1023 Niagara Falls, ON L2E 6X5 Dear Mayor Salci: The Mulligan Family 4671 River Road Niagara Falls, ON L2E 3G2 March 31, 2006 The concept of revitalization of the Downtown area is certainly a positive s City of Niagara Falls. However, the current Strategic Implementation Plan pro an outside investment group seems skewed to further their economic position at the expense of longtime residents and tax payers. The rush to pass the current plan without further study is unwise and unfair to both the residents affected and the taxpayers of Niagara Falls who will ultimately fund the bill. The City Council has not given this current proposal adequate study or review and appears to be rushed to a vote by pressure from the investment group's timeline. The Mulligan family has a substantial interest in the current proposal and the long term revitalization of the Downtown area. Our family has owned the property at the corner of River Road and Queen Street, operated as Henri's Motel, for three generations and in excess of 50 years. With three separate parcels of land that have access on three sides of this block, it would appear that if our family is not the largest land owner on the block, we will at a minimum certainly be a major shareholder in this proposal. We are disappointed that we have never been officially approached to participate in this proposal. The single contact we had was a heavy -handed ultimatum from a representative of the outside investment group that I am confident was not sanctioned by the City of Niagara Falls as the official position. We are further disappointed that the outside Investment Group's plan seems to be so heavily weighted to their own interests. We would ask that the current proposal to vote on this Strategic Implementation Plan be postponed to allow for a more informed decision and full disclosure of the benefits and consequences of the current proposal. Sincerely, The City of Niagara Falls, 4310 Queen Street, P. O. Box 1023, Niagara Falls, Ontario. L2E 6X5. Attention: Mr. Doug Darbyson, Director of Planning Development Dear Sirs: A. J. MASCARIN, B.

AJM:jr cc-The Honourable Ted Salci, Mayor Yours very truly, A. J. Mascarin PHONE (905) 684 -6567 FAX (905) 684 -9669 March 20, 2006. Please be advised that I have been retained by Mr. Edward Mulligan of 1-4671 River Road, Niagara Falls, Ontario. He is strongly in favour of Community Improvement Plan proposal Nos. 1 and 2, which allows for private development of his property. He vehemently opposes the recent presentation of your city's Strategic Implementation Plan that would rezone his property for parkland for the benefit of private developers. P. L. Gibson 4706 Zimmerman Avenue 4700 Zimmerman Avenue Niagara Falls, Ontario L2E 3M6 April 4, 2006 The Honourable Ted Salci and City Councillors: My name is Patricia Louise Howe Gibson and I have been a property owner on Zimmerman Avenue in Niagara Falls, since 1997. My father, William Howe, my mother, Margaret Elva Goodwill Howe and my brother, William George Howe, came to live at 706 Clifton Avenue in 1940. After ten years of renting the house from Maude Krahling, aunt to George Mowers, my parents bought the existing house in 1951. After my father's death in 1961, my mother was the sole owner. In the early 1970's, the street name and the house number were changed, so the property became 4706 Zimmerman Avenue, named after the street's first prominent resident, Samuel Zimmerman. I was born, raised and educated in Niagara Falls, living all my life to the age of twenty -five on Clifton/Zimmerman Avenue Upon the death of my mother in 1997, I became a co -owner of the property along with my brother, who continued to live there. In 1983, my brother bought the property at 4700 Zimmerman Avenue, which he owned solely until his death in November 2005. I am now the sole owner of 4706 Zimmerman Avenue, and 4700 Zimmerman Avenue is part of his estate, which I am still finalizing through the offices of Ross Durdan, of McBurney, Durdan Henderson and Corbett. Thus, members of the Howe family have resided on Clifton/Zimmerman Avenue for over sixty years. As a landowner and concerned citizen of Niagara Falls and Zimmerman Avenue, I am registering my opposition to the Niagara Falls Strategic Implementation Plan, dated January 2006, and I ask that you, Mr. Mayor, and your fellow City Councillors, vote against its adoption. Over the course of the last twenty years the City of Niagara Falls have considered various plans to revitalize the Queen Street downtown area, but very little ever came of them. While Niagara Falls has been a tourist attraction since the 1800's, the majority of the local residents had a solid agricultural, industrial, professional and commercial economic base, which allowed them to raise their families in a vibrant social environment. I can remember growing up through the 1950's and 1960's when Queen Street was bustling, with cinemas, grocery stores, jewellery and drug stores on every block, and Eaton's and Rosberg's department stores framing its western and eastern approaches. So what happened? Many factors have been involved in the decline, including: The City's failure or inability to stop the erosion of commercial and business ventures on Queen Street, starting in the late 1970's; The energy and environmental crises and concerns of the 1970's and 1980's; The effects of the free trade between Canada and the United States; The move of north -end residents to the outskirts of the City; and Changing technologies in the agricultural and industrial sectors, which have eliminated paid employment opportunities. While some of these factors were admittedly out of the City's control, more could have been done to keep businesses on Queen Street. As residents and businesses moved away from the downtown core, the remaining properties lost value, making it harder for their owners to make needed improvements. Shopping dollars were drawn further away from the north end. Even the City concentrated on Centre Street/Clifton Hill and western and southern development. In July 2005, I obtained a copy of the Downtown Niagara Falls Community Improvement Plan, prepared by the City in November 2004, which recognized the unique characteristics of the downtown area. It also offered grants to those property and business owners who wanted to maintain and/or improve their properties and investments. The Plan offered three Financial Incentive Programs: The Residential Loan Program; The Community Building Loan and Facade Grant Program; The Revitalization Grant Program. Many of the owners in the area bounded by Bridge and Huron Streets and by River Road and Erie Avenue were already making substantial improvements to their properties, while others were hoping to apply for one of the Financial Incentive Programs, so they could make improvements to their properties and businesses. My brother and I were waiting to see what would come of this Community Development Plan, so we could formulate our own plans with regard to the properties on Zimmerman Avenue. Just days after my brother's death, my son Colin Gibson and I, as Executors of my brother's estate, attended a public meeting in December 2005, at which this Plan was the focus. Now, suddenly, the City is voting on the Niagara Falls Strategic Implementation Plan of January 2006, which cancels the Community Improvement Plan and offers no financial incentive grants or loans to existing property and business owners, just expropriation of their properties by the City. If you, as Councillors, approve the Strategic Implementation Plan tonight, you will effectively uproot and displace over forty of your fellow residents. None of the owners or tenants currently living in the area known as the "Eastern Gateway" to downtown Niagara Falls will benefit at all, since the Strategic Implementation Plan will destroy their homes and, in some cases, their businesses and their livelihoods. Only non resident developers will gain, since any residential or commercial space available will be far too expensive for any of the current property owners, business owners and tenants to afford. I ask you to put yourselves in their places to see how you would feel if this plan affected your properties and businesses. Secondly, the changes suggested to signage, lighting and tree species for Queen Street will do little to attract new businesses and shops. Without major infrastructure money for Queen Street, the shopping dollars of the owners of the high- priced condominium owners will continue to flow away from, not into, this area. The City has already had some experience with ventures that were supposed to bring great improvements to Niagara Falls. The Acres Building, built in the early 1990's, should have attracted new enterprises to Queen Street, but it didn't. It is still not fully occupied. Again, the two Casinos have not produced the benefits to the City residents that were hoped for. Money flows into the Casino but not necessarily out. Tonight, Mr. Mayor and Councillors, I am asking that you say "No!" to the adoption of the Strategic Implementation Plan, which views the residents, property and business owners of the "Eastern Gateway" area as impediments to be swept aside as quickly as possible. Real people are seldom located in strategically acceptable locales, and it's very easy to be `strategic' when you are working with computerized design programs hundreds of miles away in non Canadian cities. What we need are local, Canadian planners who have a vested interest in making Niagara Falls once again the southern jewel in Ontario's "Golden Horseshoe." I also ask that you consider re- instating the Community Development Plan from November 2004, including the Financial Incentive Programs for owners. This Plan recognized that there is a "Community" in this area. Please bring the "Community" and the people affected back in to the future plans for the revitalization of the north -end downtown area of Niagara Falls. Thank yovt, 1J Patricia Louise owe Gibson 4706 Zimmerman Avenue Niagara Falls, Ontario L2E 3M6 Patricia Louise Howe Gibson 4700 Zimmerman Avenue Niagara Falls, Ontario L2E 3M6 Dean lorfda Fwd: Aaron Lichtman's proposal From: Nathan Hyde To: Dean lorfida Date: 4/26/2006 8:57:00 AM Subject: Fwd: Aaron Lichtman's proposal Dean, could you please forward to council as requested below. Nathan "Caroline Dawson" <cjdawson @cogeco.ca> 4/25/2006 5:32 PM Dear Mr. Mayor; I have read with great interest the material about the renewal of Queen Street. Yesterday I had the opportunity to hear Aaron Lichtman speak and local citizens ask questions at the meeting at the main Public Library. I was amazed with the intelligence, the vision and the practicality of Aaron Lichtman. I was also somewhat dismayed by the self- serving and rude questions of several participants. Mr Lichtman deserves the risk that is needed for City Hall to act. We as a city need this renewal of Queen Street both for its commercial benefit and for the pride and self- esteem it would give us. Consequently, I was very sorry to hear the timidity of City Council last evening. Sometimes life demands we take a risk, a well calculated risk as I perceive this is. I would like you to move forward wth engaging in Mr. Lichtman's vision and money. Where else will it come from? I grew up in Niagara Falls and experienced Queen Street in its heyday. But we did not know it was the end of something in the not too distant future. I left the Falls at 19 to pursue my education and life in several places across Canada. Whenever I came home to visit, I experienced strong emotional upset at the decline of our city, especially Queen Street. I moved back here five years ago. I still go to Queen Street for banking and shopping at the bakery, usually on my way to the Via station or the bus station. It is always a sad walk for me. I do not however want to approach the renewal with sentemtality or nostalgia. I want an alive, contemporary street Would you please forward this letter to the councillors? Thank you. Sincerely yours, Caroline Dawson, 306 66305 Dunn St, Niagara Falls On L2G 2P6 905 357 7562 cjdawson @cogeco.ca Page 1 Dean lorfida Fwd Ree- vitalizing Downtown Page 1 From: Bob Bolibruck To: Dean lorfida Date: 4/29/2006 12:44:33 PM Subject: Fwd: Re- vitalizing Downtown Dean FYI Bob "Gayle Murray" <grandma2 @porchlight.ca> 4/28/2006 9:25 PM As a lifelong resident of Niagara Falls (born and raised here) I feel that Queen Street needs major improvements. Queen Street, in the condition it's in at present, is disgusting. There basically is nothing left to attract the locals never mind the tourist that come to the city eqach year. I think the re- vitalization is an excellent idea and I can only hope that the councillors and Mayor Salci move forward with the proposal from Mr. Lichtman. Re- vitalizing Queen Street, I feel, would be a great economic boost with proper upgrading and getting some busineses to re- locate or even open new outlets for themselves. There would more than likely be the posibility of millions of dollars in tax revenue. I would like to urge Mayor Salci and the Councillors to give this their utmost consideration. Thank you for taking the time to read this note.

A neighbourhood meeting was held in May 2004 regarding design details of the project. Council adopted By -law No. 2004 -96 on May 17, 2004 to zone the land Residential Apartment 5A Density (R5A) with special provisions to recognize the location of the existing building. The by law permits a maximum of 40 units. The Site Plan Agreement for the development includes specific fencing and landscaping requirements and was registered on title January 26, 2006. Conditions of Approval Standard requirements for all subdivision developments are applied to plans of condominium. Parkland dedication was previously satisfied for this land which was included in a subdivision plan registered in 1968. The majority of issues have been addressed through the rezoning and site plan approvals. Construction has not been completed and a condition is included respecting confirmation of zoning by -law and site plan compliance when the project is finished. The Region promotes the redevelopment of such non residential properties to residential use which is consistent with "smart growth" principles. The Regional Public Works Department requests a condition relating to a private contractor providing the waste collection service. CONCLUSION The apartment development has received the appropriate zoning and site plan approvals. The proposed Draft Plan of Condominium will allow the separate ownership of the units. The conditions of approval are listed in the Appendix.

The above application would establish a condominium corporation and separate ownership for each apartment unit so that the units can be sold individually. Regional Planning staff support the approval of the condominium application because it will facilitate the creative re -use of an existing building and will provide housing that should be affordable. As the conversion will involve primarily internal renovations of the existing building and as a site plan to address the standard planning details was previously approved, the plan of condominium should not compromise any Regional or Provincial planning interests. Therefore, no conditions of draft approval are necessary to address our planning interests. The Regional Public Works Department in its attached comments advises that it is not opposed to the proposal on the understanding that waste collection for the complex will be provided by a private contractor. Therefore, as a condition of draft approval, the condominium agreement should include a clause indicating that waste collection will be provided by a private contractor arranged by the developer or the condominium corporation. The wording of the clause should be satisfactory to the Regional Public Works Department. Yours truly, t David J. Farley Director of Planning.-8 vices Attachment II c: Councillor W.

I am writing to ask that you consider officially proclaiming June as Seniors' Month in your community this year. For your convenience, a sample proclamation is enclosed for your consideration. The focus on seniors will take on special meaning as the world gets set to recognize June 15 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, which marks an important issue that we must tackle together. This year's Seniors' Month theme is Active Living: Healthy Living. The theme encourages seniors to become involved in programs where their experiences and interests may be shared with contemporaries or other generations. In the past, communities have reached out to seniors by organizing local information fairs and events, celebrating seniors' achievements, providing information about ways for seniors to become and remain active and engaged, and putting the spotlight on the local services and programs available to reduce elder abuse, neglect and isolation. We will be sending you Seniors' Month promotional materials soon. Please let us know what you are planning and we will post it on the Ontario Seniors' Secretariat website found at www.citizenship.gov.on.ca/seniors/english/seniorsmonth You can contact us by email at seniorsmonth @mci.gov.on.ca Yours sincerely, Jim Bradley Minister 0126 Village, Edifice Hearst 900, rue Bay Toronto ON M7A 2E1 Till.: (416) 326 9326 Toloc.: (416) 326-9338 Ontario RECEIVED sw APK 1 0 2006 PA'i'OR'S OFFICE Seniors Month Proclamation Seniors' Month June 1— 30, 2006 WHEREAS Seniors'Month is an annual nation wide celebration; WHEREAS seniors have contributed and continue to contribute immensely to the life and vibrancy of this community; WHEREAS seniors continue to serve as leaders, mentors, volunteers and important and active members of this community; WHEREAS their contributions past and present warrant appreciation and recognition and their stories deserve to be told; WHEREAS the health and well -being of seniors is in the interest of all and further adds to the health and well -being of the community; WHEREAS the knowledge and experience seniors pass on to us continues to benefit all; I, Mayor do hereby proclaim June 1- 30, 2006 Seniors' Month in and encourage all citizens to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of our seniors.

Property tax is a regressive tax and should not be used to fund programs such as social services, social housing and healthcare programs, which should be funded based on ability to pay." 1. Fully support AMO in its continuing bid to have provincial programs such as social services, social housing and healthcare removed from the property tax base. 2. Pursue the concept of assessment capping at the regional level to limit median assessed value per household in any one municipality to a maximum of 10% above or below the median assessed value for the 12 regional municipalities." The report also has several schedules listing all of the lower -tier municipalities within the Region of Niagara. These schedules refer to the capping of the regional levy by individual municipalities; in other words, a redistribution of the regional levy based on something other than property assessment. It should be noted that property taxation is not a poll tax. Property taxation is a levy whose distribution is based on the valuation of a taxable property. However, the concept of assessment capping at the regional level can be supported by municipal councils. Such assessment capping can only be enacted through Provincial legislation /regulation. IN REPORT TO: SUBJECT: CORPORATE SERVICES ADVISORY COMMITTEE COST OF REGIONAL SERVICES REPORT CAO -05 -017 NOVEMBER 7, 2005 On September 26, 2005 Council approved the following resolution: "that staff prepare a report that investigates the pros and cons of the Municipality of Niagara -on -the -Lake divorcing itself from the Niagara Region, including the possibility of a new formula for charging of services to the municipalities, and provide comment on the feasibility of the municipality paying for its required services, if separated from the Region. It is requested that staff prepare the report as soon as possible, but no later than January 2006." In 2004, the residents and businesses of the Town of Niagara -on- the -Lake paid the Region $15,015,172 for the following services; Regional Police Ontario Works (Social Assistance) Social Housing Corporate Services Regional Roads Land Ambulance Public Health Non Departmental Children's Services Senior Citizens Assessment Services NPCA, NetCorp other Grants Regional Planning Emergency Programs Total property taxes paid amounted to $29,331,336 broken down as follows: Region $15,015,172 (51.2 Education 10,015,590 (34.1 Town 4,300,574 (14.7 Total $29,331,336 (100 CAO -05 -017 PAGE 2 Residential Property Taxes: Total residential property taxes paid during 2004 totaled $18,729,799 broken down as follows: Region $11,043,952 (59.0 Education 4,526,573 (24.1 Town 3,159,274 (16.9 Total $18,729,799 (100 The question has been raised "What would it cost for the Town to provide those services if it were to secede from the Region Firstly, the current legislation does not allow for this possibility, and the Minister has indicated that he is not prepared to entertain the possibility of a change to the legislation to allow municipalities to secede from the Region. Notwithstanding this, the matter is extremely complex and the following is provided as discussion points for Council's consideration: (All costs provided are for 2004) Regional Police: The cost to the Town for the policing ($5,821,026) is extremely high based on any reasonable measure. If the costs were based on households or population, the amount payable would be $3,445,830 or $3,336,910 respectively. It is reasonable to assume that the Town could provide a much higher level of police services within its boundaries for this amount if it were able to have its own police force. However, the Regional Police provide services in relation to crime and international security that may not be able to be provided by a local service. The new Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund adds another dimension to the argument because of the provision of provincial subsidies to municipalities with policing costs above $150 per household. Under the current system, the Province only considers the Region as a whole for the subsidy because the Region provides the policing service even though the individual municipalities pay for the service. Currently, policing costs the Town in excess of $700 per household. If Policing for the region was contracted to the OPP, it is reasonable to assume that the contract could be structured to allow for billings based on service levels to the various municipalities, or some factor based on the number of officers provided to each municipality. In either case, NOTL would pay significantly less than it is paying now for policing. The residents and businesses of Niagara -on- the -Lake are currently paying an exorbitant amount for policing, and a change in the method of allocating costs is necessary if we are to restore any resemblance of fairness to the system. Other Regional Services: In 2004, the Town paid the Region $2,062,281 for the services provided by Public Works (approx. $1 million for roads); $936,926 for Corporate Services; $689,271 for Land Ambulance: $657,000 for Assessment Services; $279,374 for NPCA and NetCorp and other grants; $115,265 for Regional Planning; and $706,443 for non departmental costs. Since Niagara -on- the Lake's costs for these programs is based on assessment, the Town is paying almost double what it would be paying if based on households or population. These costs continue to increase at a faster rate REPORT CAO -05 -017 PAGE 3 for Niagara -on- the -Lake because our total assessment has been increasing at a faster rate than the average for the other municipalities. Water and Sanitary Sewer Costs: Regional Water and Sanitary Sewer costs are recovered through the water and sewer rates charged by the Region to the Town based on usage. In 2004, the Town paid the Region the amount of $1,172,153 for the supply of potable water and $1,251,737 for the treatment of sanitary sewer. Although expensive because of the outcome of Walkerton, these costs are billed equitably based on usage and are not based on assessment. We can somewhat control our costs by decreasing usage and decreasing infiltration into the system. Provincially Mandated and Downloaded Services: The Province has downloaded services to the Regional level of government that should not be recovered through the property tax base. These services include Social Assistance, Children Services, and Public Health Services. The cost of these services paid by the taxpayers of Niagara -on- the -Lake totaled $5,653,686 in 2004 broken down as follows: Social Assistance $2,773,519 Niagara Regional Housing 1,282,423 Public Health Services 1,275,292 Children Services 322,452 $5,653,686 To put this in perspective, the Town portion of the taxes collected for the services that the Town provides totaled $4,300,574 in 2004. If these provincially mandated services were removed from the property tax base, as they should be, total property taxes in NOTL would decrease an average of 19.3 The Regional portion of the taxes would drop from $15,015,172 (51.2 to $9,361,486 (39.5 Residential property taxes would decrease an average of 22.2 Unlike other provinces, Ontario uses property tax revenue to fund its social services, social housing and healthcare programs. Because of this, Ontario has the highest property taxes in Canada. Other provinces realize that these programs should be funded through income tax and sales tax where there is a direct link to a taxpayer's ability to pay. A major step forward in relieving property tax pressure would be the removal of social services, social housing and healthcare programs from the property tax base. Assessment Capping at the Regional Level: Another possible alternative to create more fairness and equity into the system is to implement property assessment capping at the Regional level by capping the median assessed values per household for municipalities within the region at a maximum percentage above or below the median for all municipalities with the region. Based on assessment, the Town of NOTL is currently paying 6.43% of Regional Services which includes those services downloaded from the Province. More equitably, the Town should be paying 3.37% (based on population), or 3.48% (based on households). REPORT CAO -05 -017 PAGE 4 Some will argue that assessment is fair because it equates to wealth or ability to pay. In some cases this may be true, but for many it is not. Certainly there are many cases where there are individuals or families on moderate or fixed incomes who have watched the assessed values of their homes increase at alarming rates, and this has resulted in some having to sell their homes. The 2001 Statistics Canada profile shows a median total income of 25,758 for Niagara- on -the- Lake, as compared to a median total income of $22,166 for the Niagara Region and $24,816 for the Province of Ontario. It is very reasonable to conclude that, on average, households in the Region should be paying roughly the same amount for Regional services, especially since a significant portion of the Regional tax bill is for provincially downloaded services that should not be on the tax bill. A significant move in this direction can be achieved by capping the median assessed values per household for municipalities within the region at a maximum percentage above or below the median for all municipalities with the region. Schedule Al, A2 and A3 attached shows how this would affect NOTL and other municipalities within the region if capping was introduced at 10 15% and 20% above and below the average of the medians for all municipalities. Schedule Al (capping at 10 shows that NOTL, Niagara Falls, Grimsby, Pelham and Lincoln would benefit, while the remaining municipalities would have to pay more. Schedule A2 (capping at 15 shows that NOTL would benefit by $6 million per year. Grimsby would also benefit. However the other 10 municipalities would have to pay more to the Region than they are currently paying. Welland would be the most negatively affected -$4 million) because of their current low levy per household at $1,065 compared to NOTL at $2,689. Schedule A3 (capping at 20 shows similar results as Schedule A2 except each municipality would be affected by a somewhat lesser degree. It is reasonable to assume that the municipalities that have to pay more are going to be less than enthusiastic about implementing assessment capping at the regional levy, even though it is a mechanism to move towards fairness. These schedules also emphasize the excessive amount NOTL is paying for Regional services as compared to all other municipalities. For example, NOTL pays $2,689 per household while Welland pays just $1,065 per household for the same Regional services. Schedules B1, B2, and B3 show the same calculations based on population. Conclusion: Niagara -on- the -Lake has the 3rd lowest population of the 12 regional municipalities, and is paying the 5 highest amount of taxes to the Region. High assessment do not equate to wealth as is shown by the median income statistics available from Statistics Canada. Property tax is a CA0 -05 -017 -PAGE 5 regressive tax and should not be used to fund programs such as social services, social housing and healthcare programs, which should be funded based on ability to pay. Recommendations: It is respectfully recommended that Council: 1. Fully support AMO in its continuing bid to have provincial programs such as social services, social housing and healthcare removed from the property tax base. 2. Pursue the concept of assessment capping at the regional level to limit median assessed value per household in any one municipality to a maximum of 10% above or below the median assessed value for the 12 regional municipalities.

Box 1023 Niagara Falls, ON L2E 6X5 web site: www.city.niagarafalls.on.ca Tel.: (905) 356 -7521 Fax: (905) 356-7404 E -mail: diorfida @city.niagarafalls.on.ca His Worship Mayor Ted Salci and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario May 8, 2006 Dean lorfida City Clerk Re: CD- 2006 -06 Specific Location Daily Sales RECOMMENDATION: That Council confirm the intent of the Licensing By -law (2001 -031) is that Specific Location Daily Sales licences are for a maximum of six (6) days; and That staff begin the comprehensive review process, including canvassing the various Business Improvement Areas, in the view of writing a new licensing by -law. Last year Council dealt with a re- zoning application for amusement rides and devices on Oneida Lane (cf. PD- 2005 -44). One of the extraneous issues that arose during the public meeting was the proliferation of vending activities in the Clifton Hill/ Victoria Avenue area. Some of the vending activities have been licensed, but others were operating without business licences. As a result, staff recommended and Council approved the following motion: Direct staff to report back on the licensing and control of specific location daily sales as discussed in this report, and direct staff not to issue any licences for such business until Council has reviewed the applicable licensing procedures. Under the municipality's licensing by -law, there is a licence called "specific location daily sales." Over the years, this has been the category used to licence temporary tattoo artists, sketch artists and other vendors. In most cases, the licensees have set up tables or other makeshift kiosks that are not necessarily aesthetically pleasing. Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks Finance Human Resources Information Systems Legal Planning Development May 8, 2006 2 CD- 2006 -06 Many of the vendors applying for these licences are from out of town. Because such operations require virtually no overhead, Niagara Falls has become an attractive place for these transient operations. Although, many of these specific location operations have been licensed, staff suspects others have not. Often, these type of operations set up quickly, after business hours on Friday, operate on the weekends and then pack up Sunday afternoon. It should be noted that last summer, weekend by -law enforcement helped clamp down on the illegal vendors. The schedule of the licensing by -law that refers to specific location daily sales defines the licence as a licence issued to every person who proposes to sell goods, wares and merchandise from a specific location within the municipality on a specific day or for a limited number of days. With certain specific location sales the length of time has been limited. Flower vendors usually only sell on Easter and Mother's Day weekends. Fireworks are sold Victoria Day and Canada Day weekends. Over time, however, certain specific location daily sales in the municipality have taken on more permanence. In the tourist section, sketch artists and trinket salesmen have set up stands for the entire length of the tourist season. Logic would indicate that such operations are not for a specific or limited number of days. It could also be argued that retail specific location daily sales operations have an unfair advantage over retail stores in that there is no overhead incurred. Ideally, staff would amend this section of the licensing by -law to "tighten up" the specific number days under the licence, if it is Council's wish to do so. Procedurally, however, there are impediments to amending the licensing by -law. The by -law was passed prior to the assent of the Municipal Act, 2001. The new municipal legislation made a number of changes that a municipality has to be cognizant of while drafting a licensing by -law. As a result, the municipality cannot simply make minor amendments to the licensing by -law passed under the former Municipal Act. The municipality would have to enact an entirely new licensing by -law. With such procedural impediments in place, staff looked for a way to uphold the original intent of the by -law, which was to allow licences for a limited number of days where appropriate. The fee for non resident specific location daily sales is as follows: $500.00 first day an additional $100.00 per day (to a maximum fee of $1,000 in one calendar year); therefore, it would take six days for the licensee to be charged the maximum $1,000. Staffs opinion is that it was not the intent of the licensing by -law to have such vendors operate for free if they are present for more than six days. It seems logical to infer that the fee ceiling should also correlate to a time ceiling (i.e., six days). Clearly, six days seems in keeping with the temporary nature envisioned by the specific location daily sales CONCLUSION: Legal, Clerks and Planning staff have analyzed the licensing by -law and associated fee schedule. Based on the above noted interpretation, with Council's concurrence, staff is prepared to resume issuing specific location daily sales. The term of the licence will be for six days maximum in a calendar year. In light of current legislation impediments, staff should proceed with a comprehensive review of business licensing provisions to lead to a new licensing by -law. May 8, 2006 In addition, it may be prudent for staff to canvass the various B.I.A.'s to get their opinions on the specific location daily sales when reviewing the licensing by -law.

In a letter dated April 20, 2006, the applicant submitted a request to remove the land within this subdivision located at the northwest corner of Mountain Road and St. Paul Avenue, on the south side of Pinestone Road, from Part Lot Control (see attached letter and Schedule 1). This process enables the division of lots or blocks within a registered plan of subdivision. The general intent of removing Part Lot Control is for the minor redesign of subdivision lots or the separation of semi detached or on- street townhouse units. This recently registered subdivision is part of the larger residential development undertaken by the owner that includes lands to the north. The current plan contains a new roadway and three blocks proposed for the construction of 26 on- street townhouse units (Schedule 2). The land is zoned to permit the townhouses through site specific by -law No. 97 -174. Construction of units on portions of the land was initiated several months ago through conditional building permits. The permit review process will ensure compliance with all zoning requirements for each dwelling and individual Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks Finance Human Resources Information Systems Legal Planning Development May 8, 2006 2 PD- 2006 -40 lot to be created. Architectural features such as roof areas overhanging common walls along a property line will be addressed by the developer through maintenance easements between future property owners. Approval of a Part Lot Control by -law is required so that property lines can be created between the dwelling units to allow their sale with each unit having a separate deed. The blocks for on- street townhouses in the original subdivision north of Pinestone Road have all received the same approval from Council. The owner requests that a Part Lot Control by -law for the subject land be passed for a minimum of three years but preferably five years. This time period is acceptable given the size of this project and the additional sites that the owner is marketing to the north. Applying the by -law to all of the blocks permits flexibility in phasing construction and scheduling real estate closing dates. The City requires easements over various sections of the blocks as shown on Schedule 3 for access to storm sewers constructed as part of the servicing for the subdivision plan. The easements are to be granted to the City through the Part Lot Control process as each individual block of townhouse units is constructed. CONCLUSION: The removal of Part Lot Control will permit the division of the blocks within the subdivision to allow separate ownership of each on -street townhouse unit. The use of this Planning Act mechanism is appropriate. The applicant should advise the City when the separate deeds have been registered. The by -law to designate the land as exempt from Part Lot Control is included in tonight's Council agenda. A separate recommendation addresses requirements for the storm sewer easements to be granted to the City.

In 2004, City staff retained ERES Consultants to perform the Pavement Management System update and training. The ongoing Pavement Management Survey is part of an initiative to collect sufficient information to establish a Pavement Deterioration Curve that reflects the specific deterioration rate that exists in Niagara Falls. The collection of data is required to take place over several years so that the accurate rate of deterioration may be established. This year it is the intention of staff to have the Consultant perform an update of the city arterial roads while at the same time training three (3) staff members to inspect the current roadway conditions. In the future, City staff will be able to conduct the update survey and update the model with minimal assistance from the Consultant. This will provide a direct savings to the operational budget in the future, while allowing City staff to review and update the current roadway condition at their own convenience. Should the recommendation be approved by Council, the work would commence by May 12, 2006 and be completed by June 9, 2006. An updated report would be presented to Council at the end of June.

From: Ted Salci To: Dean lorfida Date: 5/5/2006 10:43:49 AM Subject: Fwd: downtown reviltalization... <john.pizzolato ©gm.com> 4/28/2006 7:43 AM to, CITY COUNCIL, THE ALDERMEN of the great City of NIAGARA FALLS I am responding to the full page ad in today's Review. I implore you to finally exercise your better judgments and finally begin the RE viltalization of our historic downtown. Surely you will all agree with me that this is a project which has been sadly placed on the back burner for far too long a period. Let us not, at a time when sentiments are finally in line with the expedience of this issue, neglect the opportunity to restore some dignity to not only our downtown, but to the citizens whose hearts have long resided in the potential spirit of its revival Please do not let this matter descend once again into obscurity. The prospect of downtown revitalization has been, I believe, a dream, of in my opinion, the silent majority of those like myself who have resided, worked, played, and loved the character and historic legacy of Downtown Niagara Falls. Please let us finally work toward some agreement and put into place a project which will benefit all citizens of the world's most famous address. LET'S JUST DO IT! THANK YOU GIANNI PIZZOLATO 4565 Fourth Ave. Niagara Falls Ont. 905 358- 8034 -home 905 -641- 6959 -work 905 351- 8488 -cell Page 1 1 Dean lorfida Fwd: Downtown revitalization From: Ted Salci To: Dean lorfida Date: 5/5/2006 10:43:49 AM Subject: Fwd: Downtown revitalization <JOverall @inco.com> 4/28/2006 10:51 AM To All Just a quick couple of questions: Does the group which has offered a plan to revitalize the downtown core own property within the area of question? Has the city hired paid this group to do a study or plan for the revitalization? If both above answers are yes? Do you consider this to be a conflict of interest? Meaning for instance, the plan they propose would give unfair advantage to the property they own, verses other property owned by other citizens. If we have paid for a study or plan could we not issue this plan and scope of work to other potential groups to obtain competitive bids proposals. I am a project manager for large engineering and construction projects, you might think there is no one out there, but you maybe surprised what a little digging could prove to show. If there is money to be made people seem to come out of the woodwork pretty quick. Just another quick opinion: Eventually, the center core's real estate prices will reach a threshold where the cost will attract investors hoping to cash in on a good investment. (Your seeing it now) You see, even a good idea needs timing on its side. I'm not saying the revitalization of the downtown area is a good or bad idea. I'm just saying that if it requires the taxpayer to invest capital, then its not time yet. In the past five years or so, Niagara Falls has seen a dramatic change in corporate investment. As our population grows to accommodate this expansion, so does a substantial amount of spin -off investments. Basically, I see our city in the stage where business expansion is feeding off itself. It really doesn't require investment capital to attract new business at least the kind of business the downtown revitalization will attract. Just think of it this way, big business is an expert at making money. It's what they do. When its time for the downtown core to be revitalized, investors will be falling all over each other to get in on the action. Moreover, they will be willing to pay the entire price tag. As you all know there is only one taxpayer. If the city, provincial or federal tax dollars are involved it still should be used as if it were coming directly out of our pockets. If its not time for the downtown core, it might be time for improvements somewhere else in the city which would benefit taxpayers and not outside groups. Please keep in mind I don't know the big picture, but I do know I will be paying very soon $100 a week in property taxes to live in my house.

John Overall 6381 Moretta Drive Niagara Falls Page 2 Dean Iorfida Fwd: Tax Dollars for Queen Street Delegated From: Clerk To: Dean Iorfida Date: 5/5/2006 11:01:34 AM Subject: Fwd: Tax Dollars for Queen Street Delegated Page 1 of 1 Time Stamp: 4/28/2006 12:45:14 PM Question Reference Number:1362 Comment/ Question: I would like to voice my objection to any idea the City has of investing our funds into Queen Street. At what point do we take good money and spend it after bad and call it growth? If Queen Street was such a viable option something would have happened by now. We have a number of first class malls and options available without the city getting into the retail business and helping a private investor by spending hard earned dollars in an area of this city that has been effectively dead for 30 years or more. This area of town is at one end of the city, not near the centre or well trafficed area and has slowly been evolving from a once busy area to a quiet section of the city. Take a look at where all the growth is and how things are growing in this city. This tells me that we do not need to spend money foolishly when we can maybe save the city some money or use it in other more prominent projects. It was suggested that we could sell the piece of property at McLeod and Montrose and raise 7 million there. Its now worth that only because we have endured the cost to grade it and make it a feasible buy. Let the private investors do their thing but please don't waste my tax dollars in a dead area of town, for a change save our tax dollar and maybe help out the citizens of the whole city and use the money wiseless to offset tax increases or development of a more reasonable nature. Take a look at Niagara Square, they are developing, we have the outlet malls on the Lane, and even the Casino is adding a shopping section that will appeal to even the citizens of Niagara. Please do not support this project and waste good money.

We CANNOT let this opportunity pass us by. There are dire conditions brewing over the passport issue, and if done properly, we could attract Canadian visitors more readily. There is SUCH potential to make Queen street a beautiful to shop, live play, and visit in general. If condominiums were available for people who don't/can't drive, it would be a paradise with everything handy. Not to mention a theatre or convention hall to attract visitors. PLEASE don't lose this opportunity for the City of Niagara Falls. As it exists, Queen street is nothing but a hang out for hoodlums, druggies, prostitutes and other unsavoury folks. Most people wouldn't walk down the street in broad daylight!! C'mon folks...there's an election coming. Lets show the folks you deserve to be re- elected.I would be NOW you wished you hadn't given back residence a credit on their water bills...you'd have all that cash stashed away for just this purpose I am Kaye Faulkner Sent To: tsalci @niagarafalls.ca IP Address: 70.51.66.51 file: /C:\ Documents% 20and% 20Settings \Administrator\Local %20Settings \Temp \G W 0001... 5/5/2006 Dean Iorfida Fwd: Downtown Revitalization- Delegated From: Clerk To: Dean Iorfida Date: 5/5/2006 11:00:53 AM Subject: Fwd: Downtown Revitalization- Delegated Page 1 of 1 Time Stamp: 4/30/2006 11:20:09 AM Question Reference Number:1375 Comment/ Question: I am strongly in favour of the undertaking of the Revitalization of the Downtown. It is great that this is being visited. When I first came to Niagara Falls 11 years ago, I thought it was a shame that the Downtown's in such bad shape. I am from Renfrew, a small town near Ottawa, and our downtown street is the heart of the community. My family, when visiting, were interested in seeing Downtown Niagara Falls, and my response was "there's nothing to see they've let it get run down I love the heritage, the past detailing in architure, etc.,.. Let's do it! Let's make it a must see!

Many times, we welcome world travellers, whose primary deastination is to the USA, but they've taken a side trip to Niagara Falls- to see the Falls, of course, and to meet Canadian people in their own homeland. We need regular shopping entertainment downtown.

Noema Lambertson Page 11 Dean lorfida Fwd: Revitilization of Downtown From: Ted Salci To: Dean Iorfida Date: 5/5/2006 10:42:07 AM Subject: Fwd: Revitilization of Downtown "Tim Shafley" <tgshafley ©cogeco.ca> 5/2/2006 1:17 PM Dear Ladies and Gentleman I am writing you in response to an article concerning the revitalization of the Downtown core. I want you to know, that I am NOT in the 80% of the people Alderman Campbell referred to that are in favour of this project. I DO NOT want any my of my tax dollars spent on yet another project that benefits a tourist operator or businessman in this city. Over the past several years, millions of dollars have been sunk into the tourist sector. This includes reconstruction of Stanley Avenue from Highway 420 to Marineland Parkway and Roberts St east of Stanley Ave. New sewers and water mains to handle the needs of the new high rise hotels in the Fallsview area Road resurfacing and street and landscaping. You are considering spending 35 million dollars to satisfy requirements, put to you by a group of U.S. Investors (Historic Niagara before they will spend 100 million dollars on properties they have acquired in the downtown area. What about all the other properties. Who will be revitalizing those properties Are those businessmen going to have millions to invest And how are we going to recoup that 35 millions dollars? Years ago, the city spent what was probably hundreds of thousands of dollars on the streetscape on Queen St. New interlocking stone sidewalks and curbs and road resurfacing and light standards in an attempt to beautify the street. It may have done that but obviously it didn't do much to attract new business. The previous Council wasted 18 millions of tax dollars on the acquisition of the CP /Conrail line to use as a transportation corridor. To date, it is being used as a sidewalk and a parking lot. Somehow I think that small municipal lot at Bender Hill might take several hundred years make back the 18+ million. Doesn't seem that that was a wise investment and in my opinion that should have been something for private businesses. Not to mention the fact the City will be shelling out millions more in tax dollars to demolish the Michigan Central railway bridge when you finally admit there have no viable use for it without sinking millions more into it to refurbish it. A couple of years ago, if I am not mistaken, a consultant was hired to do a roads study and reported back to the Council that the roads in the city are in poor shape and in dire need of major work. And the longer the City Council waits to get the work done the more it will cost. We have storm sewers, sanitary sewers and water mains that need work. Storm sewers that are connected to sanitary sewers, resulting in the Region treating rainwater at the sewage treatment plant. Rainwater that we are unnecessarily paying to have treated Water mains that the City knows are leaking water into the ground that need replacing. Again, wasted money due to the fact that the City is paying the Region for water that is leaking into the ground and passing those costs on to the residents and businesses on their water bills. And the fact that at least one bridge over the CN railway line is needed soon before someone die because of a delay in emergency service response. The old bridge on Portage Rd should have been replaced years ago, when the old bridge had to be taken down. Seems today that the 3 or 4 million it would have cost to replace might have been a bargain. Ever since the CP /Conrail line was shut down the train traffic along this line has increased or seems to have increased. I know this because I am only a block from it and can hear the trains. Not only more trains but longer trains. Sometimes trains that in the event of an emergency stop, would block all crossings to the north end of the city .This is a serious issue and something that needs to be addressed ASAP. I have heard there is a plan or planning in the works to Page 11 Dean lorfida Fwd: Revitilization of Downtown build 1 or possibly 2 bridges over this line, but where are we getting the money for this In the event of a fire or medical emergency, for you that may live in the north end, once the fire trucks or ambulance realizes that the crossing is blocked, they would have to travel back to the 420 and then to the QEW to Thorold Stone or Mountain Rd. The fire hall on Dorchester Rd is the only emergency services vehicle that would be able to get to the scene, which may be acceptable unless it is a bad fire. There is only one manned truck at the station carrying a driver, a Captain and 2 firefighters. The driver doesn't leave the truck because he has to work the pump in the case of a fire and the Captain is the boss. Leaves you 2 firefighters until the other trucks can get on the scene. That 4 or 5 minutes delay due to the blocked crossing could prove fatal. It's about time that City Council takes a look at the BIG picture. This city has a population of 76,000 people. The majority of these people are not businessmen or women and are not tourist operators of hoteliers. We ARE where the majority of the taxes in this city come from. Therefore, I think it is about time that Council starts dealing with issues that effect ALL the residents of the city. Such as the ones I have listed above, before you plan on borrowing money to revitalize the downtown core for a couple dozen businessmen. Of the people I have spoken to, many feel the same as 1 do. That our tax dollars are spent everywhere but where they are needed most and first. Please, get your priorities straight and don't feel pressured to make a decision because a U.S. investor needs an answer soon. I will be urging my family and friends to contact you as well with their feelings on this matter. But unlike myself, many believe that they cannot make a difference and as such, do not make their views heard and known. Tim Shafley 6165 Burdette Dr E Niagara Falls, Ont.

DBIA is on board, and if public funds are spent with care, I have a feeling that this plan will fly. Ald. Ioannoni's comments about everyone she speaks to saying "not with my money" most likely applies to her circle. I know there are many of us who do like the prospect of spending the money, but what's the alternative? No change? Downtown is so close to River Road if we do things right, how could we fail to attract tourists and their money? Please forward to Carolyn I couldn't find her email adress.

Yes it costs money to get this off the ground,yes it will cost us tax payers money,but what will the cost be to our city if we don't go through with this. I think ifs not a question of can we afford this but how can we afford not to take this on Let's jump into the 21st century and get on with this. For once a proposal that doesn't include the tourist district but does benefit the locals in so many ways. If there is an alderman who opposes this than seriosly they should consider resigning and not wait for their fate at the ballot box. Let's not grand stand on this topic,this is good for eveyone. GET IT DONE.

I used to shop on Queen Street when it was a going concern (Levis from Rosberg's) and have very fond memories. I am not a big "Mall Shopper" and prefer to shop outdoors even in the winter! I would love to see this renewal happen and believe that it would draw both locals and tourists if done properly Think of the potential in these old buildings (and the old Post Office building). Imagine them restored to their original condition! With some thoughtful and innovative ideas this area could be sensational and it's in a beautiful location right next to the Niagara Gorge perfect. I hope this input helps. Good Luck!

Stop talking and lets have some action started, what are you waiting for, another 20 years to go by and let the downtown core deteriorate even more, where nobody wants to live here because of how deteriorated it looks like. I think that our generation should be the one to stop talking and now that there are backers for the project it is in our best interest to start the project because it will take years to see the effects.

In Tues. May 2 Review it stated the City split the $120,000 study done last year with the Downtown Board. now they're asking the City to invest another $35 Million. It was the strategic implementation plan and the earlier 2004 Community Improvement Plan that attracted the attention of New York Businessman, Aaron Lichtman and his investment partners in Historic Niagara. The city has or will be putting up half of the $120,000 ($80,000) plus another $35 million for what? I see it as just a bunch of promises by investors but no real guarantees. As for Wayne Campbell saying 80% are in favor of working with the investment group, I will bet it's not the taxpayers. It's the 80% of the investors and the owners of those properties. Cal Beresh, Chairman of the Downtown Board of Management says it will create a few new jobs but I think it will be a long time before the taxpayers benefit from this plan. This is all for the investors' benefit. (If they can't operate on their own close up shop and get out of Business.) A perfect example of failed deals by investors is the unfinished Hotel at Fallsview. The City granted a permit to build this unit, spent millions of taxpayers dollars to upgrade the area and there sits this unfinished eyesore building. From what I've heard, the owner did not get the funding to finish this hotel which now sits idle and he moved on to build elsewhere in the Region. I feel the City should give the owner of this Fallsview property 90 days to present an action plan for this site or be charged, fined or the property taken over by the City and resold for the City Coffers. This situation is proof that Council should not be pressured into making quick decisions because of an investor's time line with no guarantees. (Who's running this City I believe Council should institute a time schedule for these jobs to be completed with a bond from the Investors of half of the amount of the $35 million requested from the City ($17.5 million), and if they don't finish the project they lose the bond to the City.

Box 1023 Niagara Falls, Ontario L2E 6X5 May 5, 2006 Attention Dean Iorfida RE: DowntownNiagara Falls Dear Dean: As a concerned citizen for the Downtown Area I wish to express my opinion of this project. For the past twenty years the City and the local downtown business owners have been helping the downtown area with improvements but nothing has really happened only temporary maintenance. Thank you to the downtown business owners and the City for their efforts to improve this area. There are a lot of old style buildings built with stone and bricks that are decorative and deteriorating. If we lose these we lose history. They are the best built buildings in Niagara and a new building could not compare to these. We only have to drive down Queen Street to appreciate this architecture. If you look from the vestibule on the second floor of City Hall you will see a beautiful building deteriorating. Sent By: Pingue Construction; 1111; May -5 -06 1:33PM; Page 3/3 Now we have a private company willing to restore Downtown and restore these historical buildings. They have already purchased several buildings which are also deteriorating. They are asking the City of Niagara Falls to contribute toward this valuable project by spending thirty million dollars towards a parking structure. If the City cashed in the revenue from parking this will support the investment. Investors must guarantee at least a filly million dollar letter of credit. If they fail to build what they promised the City will not be out the money, only gain a parking structure which we can still use. There has been a great deal of unpleasant activity going in our downtown area close to our City Hall Our City Hall is the guest house for the entire City a place to welcome every guest from every continent in the world. A renovated downtown would be impressive to all of our guests and make all of our residents proud. As the owner of a small business I feel the entire Niagara area should equally accommodate our visitors and tourists. For the size of the City of Niagara Falls there should not be any areas that we are not proud of.
