Re: F-2006-47 - Sale of City Lands to Villarboit
RECOMMENDATION:
For the Committee's information
BACKGROUND:
December 9, 2002:
Council declares approximately 30 acres (12ha) of City-owned land on the northwest comer of
McLeod Road and Montrose Road to be surplus to the City's needs. The subject lands are zoned
Open Space. The use of the land is generally restricted to major public parks, conservation areas,
cemeteries, golf courses, private clubs and recreational uses.
Between 2003-2004
Several developers (local and others) express an interest in purchasing the property for a variety of
purposes after the lands are declared surplus. The City receives an unsolicited offer of$400,000 for
these lands.
February 2, 2004
After commissioning a market study, Staff prepares a report advising Council that redesignation and
rezoning of the lands prior to their sale will maximize the value of the land. Council unanimously
passes a motion to authorize staff to initiate official plan and zoning by-law amendments that would
result in approximately 30 acres (12 ha) of surplus City-owned land being redesignated and zoned
for commercial purposes to strengthen the Niagara Square Retail District.
March 21,2005
The City-initiated proposal to facilitate future commercial development for the lands located within
the Northwest Quadrant of the Q.E.W. and McLeod Road appears before Council.
September 11, 2006
-2-
F-2006-4V 1
I l'
The report concludes that the Official Plan and zoning by-law amendments conform with objectives
of the Official Plan, an opportunity will be created to strengthen and expand the Niagara Square
retail district and to maintain its role as the City's regional retail district, the market study suggests
that the development of subject lands will help revitalize this commercial node and recreational,
community and cultural facilities will compliment this community serving node.
Council approves the proposed amendments to the Official Plan and zoning by-law. Council is
reminded that there was an appeal to the rezoning by Riocan. The appeal was eventually withdrawn.
March to May, 2005
An appraisal for the re-zoned land ranged from $200,000 to $275,000 per acre for land that was
ready for a retail commercial development contingent upon the land being cleared of rock spoil.
Staff estimated the removal of rock spoil would be approximately $2 million.
On May 19th, Council directs staff to give public notice that Council will be considering an
offer, to sell city-owned lands north of McLeod Road, west of Montrose Road, being part of
Township Lots 163 and 170 at next Council meeting.
Through the public process, Staff receives three offers. One offer is in the range of $3.5 million.
Another offer is contingent upon the City being responsible for the removal of the rock spoil. As
a result, this offer is less than the others. The highest offer is from Villarboit Development
Corporation. Villarboit's offer is in keeping with the appraisal for the rezoned land, but also
exempts the City from the costs for removal of the rock spoil.
The offer states the following:
The Purchase Price of the Property, premised on an area ofthirty (30) acres, is to be Six Million,
Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($6,750,000.00) (the "Purchase Price'') calculated on
the basis of Two Hundred and seventy-five Thousand Dollars ($275,000.00) for thefirst ten (10)
acres and Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) for the remaining twenty (20) acres
subject to adjustments as herein provided including the acreage adjustment referred to below.
The closing date is July 31 st, 2006.
May 2005 to Present
The City accepts an Offer to Purchase from Villarboit Development Corporation, in trust for a
company to be incorporated. On August 1, 2006, the City sold approximately tWenty-six (26) acres
to McLeod Square Inc., the incorporated company. It should be noted that twenty-six (26) acres of
the thirty (30) acre parcel were determined to be saleable at this time. There is other abutting
property that still requires remediation.

The total selling price of $5,946,000 was calculated on the basis of $275,000 per acre for the first
ten (10) acres and $200,000 per acre for the balance of the acreage. The net sale proceeds amounted
to $5,663,249.65, which were received and deposited on August 1, 2006. The Statement of
Adjustments for the sale shows the following expenses.

Net Sale Proceeds

$5,,663,,249.65
In preparation for this sale, the City incurred $ 14,000 in engineering costs to ready the lands for sale.
On May 8, 2006 City Council approved that the total net funds received from this sale be applied to
the Downtown Revitalization Project Reserve Fund. Staff advise that the total net funds ($
5,600,000) have been reserved, and further that the funds have been invested to earn investment
Income.
CONCLUSION:
The 30 acres (I2ha) of City-owned land on the northwest corner of McLeod Road and Montrose
Road was formerly zoned as Open Space. The City received an unsolicited offer for $400,000 for
the entire parcel of land.
In light of the unsolicited offer, staff is determined to get the highest and best use possible for the
land. By "up-zoning" the property to Major Commercial, it is believed that the value of the property
will increase. A subsequent appraisal bears this out estimating that the frontage property is worth
between $225,000 and $275,000 an acre. Despite the increase in the appraisal, the land also has the
presence of substantial rock spoil, which needs to be removed.
As per the Municipal Act, 2001 and the City's sale of land by-law, the property is advertised to the
public. Three offers are received. Villarboit's offer is the best and in keeping with the appraised
value per acres. Also, the City is exempt from removal of the rock spoil under Villarboit' s offer. All
offers were vetted through Council at In Camera meetings in 2005.
As of August 1 st, the property owner is McLeod Square Inc.

Re: BBS-2006-06 - Sign Variance
Niagara Falls Optimist Club
Morrison Street at Dorchester Road
RECOMMENDATION:
That the sign variance be denied.
BACKGROUND:
The Committee may recall that a request for a sign by-law variance was presented in December
2005 to which staff recommended denial for various reasons. The request was to vary the required
setback from 300 feet to 33 feet from Morrison St. The original request ( BBS-2005-04 attached)
was to permit two separate billboards, "A" and "B", one close to Dorchester Road (Sign "B") and
the other (Sign "A") close to the main entrance of the Plaza and Optimist Park. Sign "A" was
approved by Council and Sign "B" was not. It should be noted that the request for Sign "A" stated
the sign would contain two panels 10 feet x 20 feet. The sketch ( see "exhibit 2" ) submitted along
with the request depicted an 'L' shaped sign with each leg of the sign being 10' x 20' for a total of
400 square feet. A sign permit for a two panel, 400 sq.ft. sign was issued following Councils
approval.
During the early part of July 2006 an inspection revealed that Sign "A" was under construction,
however; it was not in conformity with the approval of Councilor the sign permit. It was confirmed
that the sign consisted of two panels each of which were 10' x 40' equaling 400 square feet each for

a total of800 square feet, as opposed to the original approval for a 400 square feet sign (two panels
of200 sq. ft. each). Therefore, this sign is now double the size of the one that was approved by
Council and allowed by the permit issued.
Construction was ordered stopped and the sign company notified to have the matter corrected. The
original variance approved by Council has been nullified by their actions. The sign company is
requesting that the revised sign of 800 sq. ft.be permitted and a new variance be granted.

Members:
Re: BBS - 2005 - 04, Niagara Falls Optimist Club,
Morrison St. @ Dorchester Rd. - Sign Variance
RECOMMENDATION:
That the sign variance be denied.
BACKGROUND:
This local service club in co-operation with the sign contractor are proposing to install two double
faced billboard signs on their property. The first sign is proposed be located just west of the main
entrance to the park and will contain two panels lOft x 20 ft per panel and the second being the same
size is proposed to be just north of the clock tower. The sign by-law permits these types of sign but
because of the Open Space Zoning designation for this property they must be a minimum of 300ft
from Dorchester Rd and Morrison St. Sign 'A' (as shown on the attached plan) is located 33ft from
Morrison St. and sign 'B' is located 33ft from Morrison St. and 33ft from Dorchester Rd.
Accordingly, in addition to non conformity with the Zoning Bylaw staff are of the opinion that
these signs will have an adverse affect on the area and will not only disrupt traffic but will add to the
visual congestion of the neighbourhood and therefore are not recommended.
Comments from relevant Departments are as follows :
Parks & Recreation Department
"The visual aesthetics of the City's high profile street scape area is the key to creating attractive
and healthy street scape environments for both the pedestrian and vehicular traffic. This proposal
intends to locate large billboard signs which deviate from the Sign By-law and would detract from
visual aesthetics of the immediate street scape zone. The close proximity of the proposed billboard
signs would partially conflict with the presence of the Millennium Clock Feature at this major
intersection area. Considering that in the area of civic beautification Staffs objective is to improve
City streets capes, both in amenity and visually, the billboard signs proposed at these locations are
not recommended."

'.l "1
Planning Department
" The City's Official Plan contains policies on Amenity and Design which promote an
attractive environment and strive to improve the physical appearance of the City. In this regard,
prominent landmark locations along important roadway corridors require special attention to high
quality design and landscaping. The Dorchester/Morrison intersection is a major node and serves as
a gateway entrance to the area. The policies also require that signs be regulated so as not to have a
negative impact on the amenity of the area or vehicular traffic. Based on these policies, the
placement of billboards in this location would not be supported."
Parking & Traffic
"At location "A", Staff would have no objection if the proposed billboard were to replace the
existing sign." "The removal of the checkerboard sign is not suitable as it is a mandatory safety
device at the study location, nor is the installation of a billboard in a location where it would obstruct
it's visibility."
"At location "B", safety concerns were not noted" "Furthermore, it is noted that the proposed
billboard may reduce the visibility of the existing Millennium Clock for southbound motorists."

re: Request to speak to council regarding approved billboard permit No. 05 153088 000
Hi Dean,
I am filing an appeal for council to reconsider and reapprove the billboard structure at Optimist Park. We
were granted approval and permit # 05 153088 000 00 SN to build at Optimist Park @ 4709 Dorchester
Rd. a 10' x 40' builboard which was based on approval of our initial application's site plan, engineering
drawings, and licensing fees.
Hope we can get in as soon as possible to rectify this situation.
Re: 10' x 40' Billboard Structures
Our permit for Optimist is for a 10' x 40' structure which indicates 400sq/ft. of advertising space ( not
including the allowed back side as stated in Mr. Judge's cOrl)ments of same ad space square footage)
This can be reviewed and seen in all billboard applications and approved permits (by all other companies)
prior to the new Bylaw changes.
2/ When we applied for permits and received approval it was for a 10' x 40' structure as presented in our
application package and clearly showed in our site plan, specifically identifying building 10' x 40' V shaped
back to back ( 4 panels in total - each side when opened would offer 400sq/ft. ad space) structures. (
Both at Dorchester corner and at the Morrison present location. )
The reason for the added second post to our 10' x 40' ( back to back V or L shape approved structure)
was to ensure additional safety and support for the structures at the Park, due to the openess and effects
of high winds flows (both from North to South and West to East channels ).
Our structure is a 10' x 40' ( both sides are equally designed by the engineer and built ( duplicated) for a
total of 800sq/ft ) one side is NOT bigger not than the other. It seems as that due to it not being fully
completed with the back faces up. The city stopped us from completing it which makes it look unequal in
size. They are both 10' x 40' as permited
Further, I would like to remind you that this misunderstanding and delay has lead to a great loss of
generated revenues ( Local Merchants wanting and lining up to advertise to support this venture) for the
Optimist Park ( specifically designed to help offset it's daily maintenance and operating costs ) and the
added job opportunities it creates for Niagara residents.
These billboards add professionalism to our Optimist Park and gives them a BIG LEAGUE ballpark image
for all residents and visitors to be proud of. It opens the doors to attract bigger advertsing opportunities (
larger Sporting sponsors) and major ball tournaments to the area. It will generate additional spin off
revenues for all the business and tourism industry owners to enjoy.
Once again, thank you for your time and consideration to this immediate matter. I look forward in resolving
this at your earliest scheduled council meeting.
Sincerely,
Bob Molodynia

Re: BBS-2006-07 - Sign Variance - Niagara Falls Tourism
Pyramid Place, 5400 Robinson St.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the sign variance be approved.
BACKGROUND:
Niagara Falls Tourism, the official destination marketing organization for the City of Niagara Falls,
will be relocating its offices and information centre to Pyramid Place effective September 20, 2006
and wish to erect a sign. Ground signs are permitted, however; when there are multiple signs they
must be a minimum of 100 feet apart in accordance with the Sign By-law. Niagara Falls Tourism has
obtained permission from their landlord to relocate their existing 80 square foot sign ( 1- NF Tourism
on attached sketch) a few feet from an existing cube sign at the southeast comer of Fallsview
Boulevard and Robinson Street within the existing garden area. The proposed arrangement is in
keeping with the general area and the sign poses no vision problems at the intersection. Other signs
are proposed, however the by-law requirements can be met.

RE: Fallsview Blvd Signage By-Law
Dear Dean:
Please be advised that Niagara Falls Tourism, the official destination marketing organization
for the City of Niagara Falls, will be relocating their offices and information centre to the
Pyramid Place building located at 5400 Robinson Street, Niagara Falls, ON L2G 3X4 effective
September 20, 2006.
Weare currently finalizing our signage for the new location and have been informed by City
Staff that any additional ground signage on the comer of Robinson Street and Fallsview Blvd.
would have to be placed 100 feet from the existing ground sign that currently exists and is
occupied by another tenant in the building or alternatively make a request to City Council
requesting an amendment to the current Fallsview Blvd. signage by-law.
The Fallsview Blvd corridor has become a very high traffic tourist area. With that in mind, it is
imperative to the organization and its membership that visitors to our city are able to visibly
find and access our ne'" information centre and utilize its services easily. Therefore, we
respectfully request City Council consider amending the current Fallsview Blvd. signage by-
law to allow our organization ground signage, on the comer of Fallsview Blvd and Robinson
Street, directly in front of the Pyramid Place building.. See attached map
Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions or concerns at (905) 356-6061 ext. 17.
Your consideration on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

Subject: High Street - Parking Review
At the May 29th Community Services Committee meeting, Committee considered report MW -2006-
60 - High Street - Parking Review. The original recommendation of the report was as follows:
1) a "No Parking" at all times restriction be installed on the south side of High Street
between Depew Avenue and Woodland Boulevard; and,
2) a "No Parking" comer restriction be installed on the north side of High Street between
Dorchester Road and a point just east of Dorchester Road; and,
3) A maximum 2-hour "Parking" restriction be installed on the north side of High Street
between a point just east of Dorchester Road and Depew Avenue
After hearing a deputation from Mr. Henry Badger, who lives on the comer of Depew Avenue and
High Street, Committee changed recommendation #1 to the north side of High Street between
Depew Avenue and Woodland Boulevard.
Subsequently, staff received an e-mail from Mr. Ron Giberson expressing concerns regarding the
change to the recommendation ap.d the presence of parking on the south side of High Street. Mr.
Giberson has requested to appear before Community Services Committee to have the Committee
reconsider the matter.
Staff has notified all affected of tonight's meeting.

CC: Dren, Karl; Ed Dujlovic; Marianne Tikky
Dear Mr. Giberson:
Thank you for your correspondence to Mr. Ed Dujlovic concerning the High Street Parking Review. In addition
to your correspondence to Mr. Dujlovic, I have also received several phone calls from residents about this issue.
Staff Report MW-2006-60, recommended that parking be restricted on the south side of High Street, however,
the at Community Services Committee, as a result of a request from a delegation attending the meeting, the
Community Services Committee changed the restriction from the south side to the north side. City Operations
Staff were working from the original report and not the amended report when they started to install the
restriction on the south side, once clarified, the signs were installed correctly, as per the by-law approved at
Council.
As I have advised those residents who contacted me by phone, in order to have this matter re-examined, your
recourse now, is to request to appear before the Community Services Committee and request that this matter
be reviewed.
Should you wish to appear, before the Committee, please contact Mrs. Marianne Tikky at 356-7521, ext. 4222 or
by email at mtikky@niagarafalls.ca to arrange for you to appear as a delegation at the next available meeting.
I trust this information is satisfactory, should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact
me.

As we (6773, 6803, 6815 and 6825 High Street residents) understand it, the plan was implemented on Tues Aug
15, 2006 only to be revised at the insistence of the resident at 5766 Depew on Wed Aug 16, 2006. The resulting
changes are unacceptable as they have created grevious safety concerns and deprived us of on street parking in
front of our residences.
It should be noted that the resident of 5776 Depew has an offical driveway facing Depew however has created
a double driveway on High just opposite 6803 and 6815 High Street. This impairs back up vision from 6803 and
6815 High ...there have been several near miss however we have tollerate this todate. We wish to have it
removed as it also lessen the amount of on street parking.
By placing the parking on the south side of High street it backs up parking to the stop sign at Depew and
obscures the line of sight when making a right hand turn from Depew onto High.
. By placing parking on the south side of High it forces the elderly and young childen to cross a busy street to
access their residences. The situation will worsen when snowal removal season is upon us.
As you recall we agreed to study the parking on High street in support of the Salvation Army Rezoning and your
report was an excellent recommendation enbracing our goals of safety and convenience. I did represent our
group including 5766 Depew during the traffic study. He did object to the no parking restriction however the
Survey was consensed on a majority not a minority vote.
Please change this back before someone is seriously injured by this action...For insistence this afternoon there
were 9 cars parked on the south side of High and 4 on the north. Vehicles were making a wide turns at Depew
and two directional traffic was down to one.
Please let us know where to go from here?
I can be reached during the day at 905 641-6905 or evenings 905 354-7661

Re: MW-2006-60-High Street - Parking Review
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that:
1) a "No Parking" at all times restriction be installed on the south side of High Street
between Depew Avenue and W oodlal1d Boulevard; and,
2) a "No Parking" comer restriction be installed on the north side of High Street
between Dorchester Road and a point just east of Dorchester Road; and,
3) A maximum 2-hour "Parking" restriction be installed on the north side of High
Street between a point just east of Dorchester Road and Depew Avenue
BACKGROUND:
Following the April 3, 2006 Council meeting regarding the re-zoning application of properties
5720 Dorchester Road and 6859 High Street (AM-OI/2006), staff has been requested to review
the parking situation on High Street. The concern il1voIves motorists visiting establishments on
Lundy's Lane but utilizing on-street parking on High Street.
High Street is a local roadway consisting of two travel lanes, one in each direction. The traffic
volumes on the study section are low as the roadway primarily serves to allow access to the
immediate neighbourhood and the church located on the northeast comer of tIle intersection of
Dorchester Road at High Street. The width of the roadway is 6.5 metres in the study section.
Currently, parking restrictions are present on the south side of High Street between Dorchester
Road and Depew Avenue. The remainder of the study portions of High Street, between Depew
Avenue and Woodland Boulevard, remains unrestricted allowing on-street parking on both sides.

One sidewalk is present on the north side of the roadway for pedestrian use, with a boulevard
separating the sidewalk: from the travelled portion of the roadway. There are no curbs present on
either side of the roadway in the study area. Light standards located on the south side of High
Street provide illumination during evening hours. . ,
Staff has conducted observations on High Street to determine whether a parking problem exists.
Observations revealed vehicles parked on the north side of the roadway during daytime hours.
These vehicles were parked predominantly between Dorchester Road and Depew Avenue.
Several vehicles were also noted parking on High Street between Depew Avenue and Woodland
Boulevard. A collision review has been conducted on High Street to determine whether a
collision problem exists on both study sections between Dorchester Road and Woodland
Boulevard. The review, conducted for the previous three-year period, reveals that a collision
problem does not exist, as no collisions have been reported on the study sections of High Street
in the previous three-year period.
Separate parking questionnaires were delivered to residents of High Street between Dorchester
Road and Depew Avenue, and between Depew Avenue and Woodland Boulevard. Through the
questionnaire, residents had an opportunity to comment on the type of parking control that would
most benefit their situation. A total of six (6) homes were petitioned on High Street between
Depew Avenue and Woodland Boulevard, of which five (5) or 83% of the questionnaires were
returned. Of the five questionnaires three (3) (60%) were returned in favour of restricting the
south side at all times. A total of six (6) homes were petitioned on High Street between
Dorchester Road and Depew Avenue, of which four (4) (67%) were returned. Of the four
questionnaires, two (2) (50%) were in favour of implementing an alternative parking revision.
The revision suggested by residents includes 2-hour maximum parking between Dorchester Road
and Depew Avenue.
* Although a questionnaire was not received from the Church (5720 Dorchester Road) a
representative of the area advised the Church also favours 2-hour maximum parking on the north
side of High Street between Dorchester Road and Depew Avenue.
Based on this infonnation, additional parking revisions on the roadway are recommended. Based
on road width a parking restriction is required on the south side of High Street between Depew
Avenue and Woodland Boulevard. This restriction will ensure vehicles are not parked on both
sides interfering with maintenance or emergency vehicles. A corner restriction is recommended
on the north side of High Street between Dorchester Road and a point just east of Dorchester
Road, to ensure that vehicles do not park too close to the intersection where they may interfere
with vehicles turning through the intersection. Also, a 2-hour maximum parking restriction is
recommended on the north side of High Street between a point just east of Dorchester Road and
Depew Avenue, as per request of the residents, in order to limit the time of motorists who do not
reside in the neighbourhood remain parked on the roadway.

Re: MW-2006-98-Fourth Avenue
Parking Review
RECOMMENDATION:
1) That the existing "No Parking" restriction on the west side ofF ourth Avenue between Valley
Way and Jepson Street be removed;
2) That a permanent "No Parking" at all times restriction be installed on the east side of Fourth
Avenue between Armoury Street and Jepson Street;
3) That a comer parking restriction be installed on the west side of FOllrth Avenue between
Valley Way and a point 20 metres south of Valley Way;
4) That a comer parking restriction be installed on the west side of Fourth Avenue between
Jepson Street and a point 20 metres north of Jepson Street; and,
5) That a "No Standing" restriction be installed on the east side of FOllrth Avenue between
Valley Way and a point 20 metres SOllth.
BACKGROUND:
Staff has been requested to review whether certain parking restrictions can be removed on Fourth
Avenue between Valley Way and Jepson Street. The concern stems from a lack of on-street parking
space available to residents in the study section.
Fourth A venlle is a minor collector roadway consisting of two travel lanes. The roadway is eight (8)
metres wide in the study section. Cllrrently, parking is restricted on the west side of Fourth Avenue
between Valley Way and Jepson Street. On the east side, parking is restricted between Valley Way
and Armoury Street. In addition, a comer parking restriction is present on the east side between
.It\nnoury Street and a point just south of Armoury Street. Given the numerous parking restrictions,
there are three on-street parking spaces within the two-block section for 19 residences. A sidewalk
is present on the west side of the roadway for pedestrian use, with a boulevard separating the
sidewalk from the travelled portion of the roadway. Also, Fourth Avenue is a transit route with city
buses travelling in both directions in the study area.

Staff has conducted technical studies on Fourth Avenue to determine whether a revision to the
existing parking restrictions is necessary. Observations revealed that most residences are able to
accommodate a maximum of two (2) vehicles. Visitors that cannot fit on driveways may need to
park on another street within the neighbourhood if the few available parking spots on Fourth Avenue
are occupied. A collision review has been conducted to determine whether a collision problem exists
on the study roadway. The review, conducted for the previous three-year period, reveals that a
collision problem does not exist. A total of one collision has been reported on the study section of
the roadway in the previous three-year period. This collision includes a vehicle reversing from
private property and striking a vehicle travelling on Fourth Avenue.
Parking questionnaires were delivered to residents on Fourth Avenue between Valley Way and
Armoury Street, as well as Fourth Avenue between Armoury Street and Jepson Street. Through the
questionnaire, residents had an opportunity to comment on the type of parking control that would
most benefit their situation. The minimum criterion requires at least 60% of the residents petitioned
to respond to the questionnaires delivered. Nine (9) homeowners were petitioned on Fourth Avenue
between Valley Way and Armoury Street, of which four (4) questionnaires were returned. Ten
homeowners were petitioned on Fourth Avenue between Armoury Street and Jepson Street, of which
five (5) questionnaires were retllrned. These represent a response rate of 44% and 50% respectively.
Overall, a 60% response rate was not achieved for either road section.
Although a consensus was not achieved amongst the residents as to the preferred parking
arrangement on both sections of Fourth Avenue under review, the majority felt some form of a
parking restriction removal is required. It is recommended that a restriction on one side of the
roadway between Valley Way and Jepson Street be removed. Thus, the west side is suggested.
However, comer parking restrictions will remain just south of V alley Way and just north of Jepson
Street on the west side to ensure vehicles do not park near the intersections where they may restrict
visibility and interfere with traffic. As Armoury Street intersects Fourth Avenlle on the east side,
it is preferred that the existing parking restrictions on that side be maintained in order to ensure
adequate visibility is available to motorists traversing through the intersection. It is also
recommended that the existing comer restriction on the east side of Fourth Avenue between
Armoury Street and a point southerly be extended to Jepson Street. This will ensure motorists do
not park on both sides of this roadway section where vehicles will reduce the width of the roadway.
Furthermore, a no standing restriction is to be added on the east side of FOllrth Avenue south of
Valley Way, which will enSllre vehicles do not stop in the signed bus loading/unloading area.
Committee's concurrence with the recommendation outlined in this report would be appreciated.

Re: MW-2006-99
Pinestone Road at Stonehaven Avenue
Intersection Control Review
RECOMMENDATION:
That a stop sign be installed on the north approach of Pinestone Road at Stonehaven Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
Staff recently conducted a traffic operations review on Pinestone Road at Stonehaven
A venue/Walker Court. During site investigations, it was revealed that a stop sign is present for
one of the four approaches at this time, facing northbound motorists on Walker Court.
The intersection is in a cross configuration consisting of a north/sollth and east/west approach.
Pinestone Road, the east/west road is one of two roads that connects with St. Paul Avenue
providing an entry into the Neighbourhood of S1. David's sllbdivision. The intersection was in a
"tee" configuration prior to the construction of Walker Court in the last year.
Although low volumes exist at this location, the collision potential is increased given the
possible confusion as to the right-of-way amongst vehicles within the cross intersection with a
stop sign present for one approach only. Also, it is standard policy to place stop signs on
opposing approaches at cross intersections. Therefore, staff is recommending that a stop sign be
installed on the north approach of Pines tone Road at Stonehaven Avenue. The sign should
augment safety without adversely delaying motorists.

Re: MW-2006-97
2006 Pavement Management Summary
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that this report be considered for the 2007 B1Idget.
BACKGROUND:
City Engineering Staff in conjunction with David Rein and Walter Lumpton of Applied Research
Associates conducted a comprehensive inspection of the City's Arterial road network this year to
update the condition of the road network. City Engineering Staffwas trained during the inspection
process on the correct procedure for inspecting a road and assigning a condition vallIe to it. In futllre
years it is anticipated that City staff will be able to evalllate the road network on an annllal basis to
lceep road deterioration data up to date.
The attached update from David Rein explains the detailed aspects of the inspection program. In
staff's opinion the items of interest to Committee are as follows:
· The City requires approximately $22.8M for the reconstnlction of roads that have
deteriorated past the point of rehabilitation. This~js an increase of $6.3M over the
2004 report which had specified that $16.5M was required at that time.
· The report recommends spending approximately $5 to $6 M per year to bring the
condition of the network up to an appropriate service level. This is up $11\11 over the
number specified in the 2004 report.

.. l
· The average condition rating of roads within the City network is 72 out of 100 with
100 being a newly constructed road. The recommended average condition rating is
between 73 and 75. The average has stayed consistent at 72 for the past several
years. Although the average condition rating has stayed consistent, the overall
network requires additional funds to bring it up to par, largely due to the addition of
roads over the past two years as a result of new developments.
At present the City spends approximately $2.5M per year in reconstnlction and rehabilitation of
roads, an additional $lM was spent in 2006 to try and help the currently deteriorating status of City
roads. Staff respectfully requests that this report and associated materials be considered in the 2007
budget process.
Committee's concurrence with the recommendation is requested.

Re: PD-2006-77, 7565 Lundy's Lane
Former Parks, Recreation and Culture Building
Recommendation from the Municipal Heritage Committee
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council receive the recommendation from the Municipal Heritage Committee and that staff
report back on the adaptive re-use of the building, including financial implications.
BACKGROUND:
On August 23, 2006, the Municipal Heritage Committee (MHC) considered report PD-2006-64
(attached) respecting the former Parks, Recreation and Culture building at 7565 Lundy's Lane.
The MHC passed the following motion:
That the C"ommittee recognizes the cultural heritage significance of the property
at 7565 Lundy's Lane and, as such, requests that staff further investigate the
feasibility of adaptive re-use of the building as a possible mausoleum,
columbarium or other related use, with the possibility of the existing parking lot
being converted to burial spaces.
The Community Services Committee had deferred its decision on the demolition of the building
(Report R-2006-16, attached) until a report on the heritage significance of the building had been
completed and the report considered by the MHC. The report on the heritage significance is
attached. The researcher, Nora Reid, MA, found that the property has associative heritage value
and the building has architectural significance. The significance is summarized in the Statement
of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest which is included in report PD-2006-64.
The MHC, in its discussion, noted that given the heritage significance of the building and the
demand for internment at the Lundy's Lane cemetery, renovation of the building as a columbarium

or mausoleum would be reasonable adaptive re-use. However, it did recognize that further study
of the building for this re-use, including financial implications, would have to be undertaken.

Re: PD-2006-64, 7565 Lundy's Lane
Former Parks, Recreation and Culture Building
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Municipal Heritage Committee consider the information presented and
report to City Council, through Community Services Committee.
BACKGROUND:
The Municipal Heritage Committee, at its May 24, 2006 meeting, directed that staff retain the
services of a historical researcher to condllct research on the building and associated property located
at 7565 Lundy's Lane. The property contains a building vvhich began as a school and was used
latterly as a police station and most recently, the offices of Parks, Recreation & Cllltllre for the City.
The research was conducted by Nora Reid, MA, Historical Researcher and the attached report
outlines what information she has obtained regarding the history and architectural features of the
building and the land surrounding it.
Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest
This site has cultural.heritage significance to the City of Niagara Falls through its association with
the early settlers the Greens and Lundy's (for whom Lundy's Lane was named) and with the "Old Red
Meeting House" (built 1817), the Methodist meeting house which once stood on the site as well as
its adjacent cemetery (now Lundy's Lane Cemetery) still located east of this structure. This parcel
of land was also the location of three early Stamford Township schools for School Section 5. This
building constructed in 1915 is the last and only one of these schools still in existence, one of only
two school buildings still surviving in the City of Niagara Falls from the period 1900-1910 and the
only remaining rural two-room school of that era. Architecturally it is an example of early 20th
Century Edwardian Classical style, exemplified in its simplified and exaggerated classical elements
and clean lines. Features such as the high stone foundation, brick comer quoins, portico entrance
with a simple pediment supported by short wooden colonettes on brick piers, windows on stone sills
topped with brick voussoirs and large contrasting keystones, projecting eaves supported by scroll

brackets and hipped roof are typical of this style. It also displays unique design features such as the
paired side windows with segmental arch above and recessed from entry. From 1953 to 1962 it was
home to the Stamford Township Police Department and Court, and later the Niagara Falls police
department. Most recently, it has been used as an art gallery and office sp~ce for the City's division
of Parks, Recreation and Culture.
Description of Heritage Attributes
The exterior heritage attributes of this building that exemplify the Edwardian Classical style are:
· high foundation of rock-faced stone set in regular courses
· doors and windows, single and paired, set on stone sills and topped with triple rows
of brick voussoirs and large contrasting keystones
· brick comer quoins
· portico entrance with a simple pediment supported by short wooden colonettes on
brick piers
· projecting eaves supported by scroll brackets
· hipped roof
Other key heritage attributes include:
· front and back roof dormers with diamond paned windows
· surviving wooden double-hung windows on front (south) facade (east two bays), east
facade and north facade
· transoms over the south, east and west entrance doors with diamond paned windows
· double front entrance doors of wood with two panels, upper half glazed
Corporate Position
On June 12,2006, the Community Services Committee deferred consideration of a Parks, Recreation
and Cultllre report on the building in order to allow a historic assessment of the building to be
prepared. Report R-2006-16 (att~Ghed) seeks approval to demolish the building and expand the
cemetery onto the lands occupied py the building with a landscaped entrance at the intersection of
Lundy's Lane and Montrose Road.
CONCLUSION:
The Committee now has the opportunity to review the report presented by Nora Reid and make a
recommendation to Council, through the Community Services Committee. The Committee should
have regard to the contents ofreport R-2006-16 in formulating its recommendations. The matter will
be considered at a future Community Services Co~mittee meeting.

Alderman Selina V olpatti, Chairperson
and Members of Community Services Committee
City of Niagara Falls, Ontario
Members:
Re: R -2006-16 - Recreation. Property & Building End Use
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That Council approve the expansion of Lundy's Lane Cemetery and the development of a
pedestrian gateway with enhanced beautification on the property located at 7565 Lundy's
Lane (fonner Recreation Commission building) by conversion of this property.
2. That an application for the expansion of the cemetery be submitted to the Ministry of
Consumer and Commercial Relations, Cemeteries Branch, for review and approval.
BACKGROUND
The City of Niagara Falls owns the property (0.165 acres) on the comer ofL\mdy's Lane and
Montrose Road that is adjacent to the Lundy's Lane Cemetery, a cemetery established in 1820. The
comer of Lundy's Lane and Montrose Road is also considered an important tourism gateway to
Lundy's Lane.
A report was included on the May 2, 2005, Community Services Agenda. (See attached Report R-
2005-08) that recommended the conversion of the property for cemetery purpo ses based on the BMA
consulting report. Key to the May 2, 2005, recommendation was that it was predicated on creating
additional revenues for the cemetery by a strategic use of the site to achieve a revenue positive end
use for this site. Due to an expression of interest in the building and property at that time by other
organizations the report was deferred.

Organizations that had indicated an interest in this site were Niagara Falls Tourism, Winter Festival
of Lights, Niagara Falls Multicultural Network, and Lundy's Lane BIA: Communications from
Niagara Falls Tourism~ Winter Festival of Lights and Niagara Falls Multicultural Network are
attached..
The Recreation Commission Building was vacated with the relocation of Parks, Recreation &
Culture to the MacBain Community Centre in September 2005. The building, while generally
assessed as structurally sound, would require considerable remedial work and monies invested to
continue its use for any purpose. Additionally, considerable water damage occurred in
approximately February 2006. The building is not wheelchair-accessible. Issues related to traffic
at this busy comer, coupled with the challenges resulting with entrance to and exiting from the
existing parking lot, have also been identified as concerns.
The 2006 budget does not reflect inclusion 0 f any costs associated with this site to support continued
operation of the building or property for any purpose or the costs which would likely result in the
financial long term commitments of the City.
Recent discussions and meetings with the Lundy's Lane BIA provided an opportunity to review how
a dynamic partnership approach,. including financial investment and commitment in the project by
the BrA, can be achieved. The partnership project would provide for cemetery expansion wbile at
the same time creating a significant landscape feature, allow celebration of the history of our
community, and add a pedestrian gateway at the comer ofLundy~s Lane and Montrose Road. A
pedestrian gateway would also include a beautification project as a major component ofthe project
to compliment the cemetery expansion. The cemetery expansion would include new plots (earth
burials) columbaria (cremation niches) as well as a scattering garden (cremated remains). The
support of the Lundy's Lane BIA to this project is outlined in its attached letter dated May 1,2006.
A general concept drawing of this project is attached.
Morgan Funeral Home and Patterson Funeral Home from Niagara "Falls have also provided their
endorsement of the expansion of ~ Lundy's Lane Cemetery. The need for more plots for the
families they serve is also supported 3nd recognized by the two funeral directors as outlined in their
attached letters.
Very generally, the project cost is estimated to be $320,000 (plus a $30,000 contingency) to achieve
the gateway features. Recommended amenities include large trees (spaded), gateway pillars,
significant and very dramatic horticultural plantings, stone work and landscaping, a major feature
of a clock or bell tower, (the most expensive element of the project) historical and interpretive
sign age, annourstone accents, patterned walkways and benches. The cemetery expansion would
provide for an estimated maximum of300 earth burials and additional net revenues to the cemetery
of approximately $200,000 which would be applied to the cost of the project.
~ _.. I .
Jtlne 12, 2006

R-2006-16
All costs ofthe project in 2006 would be paid for from revenues generated from the sale of interment
rights at the cemetery expansion, as well as from fmanciaI commitments of project partners such as
the Lundy's Lane BIA. and donations. The breadth of the project would be adapted and revised
financially for gateway and landscaping enhancements consistent with the financial support availab Ie
in 2006.
As noted, Lundy's Lane Cemetery was established in 1820 by the first Niagara Falls' Methodist
congregation. The cemetery~ which is located beside the "Red Meeting House" church, is the resting
place for many of Niagara Falls' early settlers. Currently, the cemetery does not have any additional
burial space and, therefore, is not able to meet the needs of families who wish to join their family
and also have a resting place at this cemetery. The Lundy's Lane Cemetery is also a popular
destination in its own right for reasons of community and Canadian history. (including the War of
1812) as well as for family genealogy.

Re: R..2005-08.. Recrtati~D Building El1d Use
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council approve the demolition of the Recreation Commission building (7565 Lundy's Lane)
and convert the entire property for -cemetery purposes.
8ACKGROUND
The MacBain Community Centre is scheduled to open in the Summer of 2005. At this time, the
Parks~ Re(r~ation & Culture staffwill relocate from the Re(reation Building situated at the comer
of Lundy's Lane and Montrose Road to the n.ew Centre. A study was conducted in 2003 by BMA
Management Consulting .Inc.. to determine the c"highest and best llSe'" of the Recreation Building once
it ,vas vacated.
lhe attached Study looked into three options for the best llSe of the. property. The options are as
follows:
1. Sale of the property to a third party;
2. Alternate c'emetery operational uses for the building;
3. Development of lands for cemetery purposes.
A detailed analysis. induding a summary ofthe advantages. disadvantages, risks and opportunities
for each option was conducted by BMA Consultants. The final analysis recommends that the highest
and best use of the property would be to .-demolish the building and use the land for columbaria and
other interment options:" This option has the least risk and the greatest revenue potential.
lhe Lundy's Lane Cemetery is located adj acent to the Recreation property and~ therefore, the land
transition to cemetery use would be appropriate. There is a high demand for burial space in this
cemetery however, at present, there are less than ten single lots available for sale and there are
several people on a waiting list requesting double plots.

R..200s-oa .
The 2003 Study recommends that the City should focus the property development on building
Columbarla, with space left over for traditional burials. Staff believes that a better use of the
property is to develop the land for traditional burial plots (double plots and cremation plots) with
an area reserved for Columbaria. The rationale is that the first Columbarium was installed at
Fairview Cemetery in September 2003 and the niche sales are slower than anticipated. Also, in
September 2004, the City took over the management and operation of the Stamford Green Heritage
Cotumbarium. With th~ two Columbarianow in operatio~ it is believed the market is not ready for
additional Columbaria. at this time.
The projected costs to demolish the existing building, survey for cemetery plots, landscape and
beautification is $75,000. Over a ten-yearp en od. it is expected that 400 cemetery lots would be sold
bringing in revenue of more than $206.400 and an additional $137,600 in Perpetual Care &
Maintenance Funds. The future installation of a Columbariurn will realize more than $100,000 in
additional revenue and PeIpetual Care & Maintenan~e Funds. Revenues arc based on 2005 rates.
A portion of the building is currently used by the Niagara District Art Association and they are in
favour of relocating to the Community Resource Building. The Niagara FaIls Concert Band also
uses the building to store its music. Sta.tfwill attempt to find the Band an alternative location.
The propo~ed cemetery expansion was shared with the Park in the City Committee and they
supported the option to expand the existing cemetery. The comer ofLundys Lane and Montrose
is considered a prominent City comer that would benefit from increased greening and beautification.
The Committee unanimously supported the following motion made by Loretta Burke and seconded
by Paisley Janvary-Pool:
TO' suppert the third alternative and to beautify the corner of Montrose Road and Lundy's
Lane and that the funds for development and ongoing mai.teDance be included in tile
cemetery budget
Conclusion:
Due to the popularity of, and public demand for more burial spaces in the Lundy's Lane Cemetery,
as well as the proximity of the Cemetery to' the Recreation Building property, Staffbelieves that the
highest and best use for the property would be for cemetery purposes.

Attention: Denyse Morrissey, Director of Parks and Recreation
City of Niagara Falls
4310 Queen Street
Niagara Falls, On L2E 6X5
Dear Denyse
Thank you for the time taken to prepare for and hold the recent meeting where we
discussed the proposed redevelopment of the site of the former PaJ"ks and Recreation
Department Building. We are very excited about the presentation that was made to us
regarding this site. We are especially pleased that our BIA's vision for developing a
consistent, strong and focused image for our area was addressed as part of this proposal.
Your concept was able to effectively meld our BlA's needs with the needs of the
community and the City of Niagara Falls as a whole.
This proposed project wou14 dramatically raise the visual~ horticultural and historical
perspective of this very impOrtant comer. This intersection has been identified in both
the Streetscape Development for Lundy's Lane Master 'Plan (Apri11999) and in the
City of Niagara Falls Streetscape Master Plan and Urban Design Guidelines
(October 200 1) as being a majOr entry corridor to our city. As suc~ the proposed and
proper treatment of this spa~e is of significant importance. The inclusion of a "gateway
feature" and "celebration place" that includes historical displays aimed at to
commemorating and recapturing some of the city's history of Lundy's Lane and the War
of 18121bat has been lost with modem development in the area is critical to this
proposal. Your redevelopment concept fully embraces these vital elements and,
therefore, has our full support and endorsement.
We also now realize and better understand the needs of the community with regards to
our city~s high demand for spa~e at this cemetery. We better appreciate the need to
demolish this building in order to accommodate both the nee4. for increased space and
also to accommodate the landscape requirements oftms high profile intersection. We
truly feel that a fair and appropriate solution to the redevelopment of this space been
achieved.

This proposal requires a certain level of compromise on the part of both our BIA and the
Parks and Recreation Department.. As presented to us at the meeting the proposed plan
seems to fulfill the needs of each party in a manner that is more than satisfactory. This
improved vision is certainly worthy of our backing, not only in principal, but also in
terms of financial support. Our BIA is totally committed to being a part of the planning
process for this project and is fully prepared to offer and negotiate monetary input once
we have a better understanding of the total cost of this project and the timeframe within
which it can be completed..
With our combined commitment to this proposed plan, the Lundy's Lane BIA and the
City of Niagara Falls are ensuring the continuation of the muchneeded~ wonderful
changes that have begun to have an impact in enhancing and improving Lundy's Lane
and the city as well. Thank you for your efforts to work cooperatively with our BIA and
for addressing our concerns and our needs.
Respectfully,.

Re: R - 2005-08 - Recreation Buildin~ End Use
We wish to offer our strong endorsement of the recommendation offered by both the
Parks, Recreation & Cuhure staff and your consu1tan~ BMA MaMgement Consulting
Inc., to "demolish the (fonner Recreation) building and use the land for columbaria and
other interment options." As indicated in their detailed analysis, this option bas the least
risk and the greatest revenue potential for the City.
I would also support the idea sbared by the members of the Park in the City Committee
that the comer of Montrore Road and Lundy's Lane would benefit from the increased
greening and beautification.
As Canada's oldest funeral home (1826), and certainly Stamford Township area's fIrst
funeral home, we have been providing services to families choosing the Lundy's Lane
Cemetety for many years, dating back to when it first existed as a Methodist cemetery.
We have found it very difficult over the last several years to continually disappoint City
families by having to inform them there is no longer grave space available at Lundy's
r..ne (as of this date, only 1 full single plot and 0 cremation plots remain unsold). It is
very important to succeeding generations, that they are able to arrange for final
disposition of family members in the same cemetety in which many of their former
relatives are interred.
We estimate that our Funeral Directors and our Pre-arrangement Planner have to inform

families at least twice or more each month that they will have 10 mak~ an alternate choice
from Lundy's Lane Cemetery for final disposition. The staff at the Cemetery
administration office would not be aware of most of these disappointed families, as they
would have been informed b:y members of our staffprior to contact with their office.
Further, by increasing the number of grave spaces available for purchase, the City stands
to realize increased funds for both operation and long-term trust benefit (i.e. Perpetual
Care & Maintenance Funds).

Your Worship and Members of Council
Weare writing with respect to the former Parks and Recreation
building located on the northeast comer of Montrose Road and
Lundy's Lane. While we understand there are a number of
community organizations which would like to use the building for
meetings and other events, we contend that the property would be
better suited as a natural extension of Lundy's Lane Cemetery. There
are many other venues in the city which could be accessed by local
groups to serve their needs. Furthermore, the building itself is in need
of repair and does nothing to visually enhance the surrounding area.
We routinely get requests from families as to availability of
graves in Lundy's Lane Cemetery. Many people have loved ones
buried there only to realize that there is no space for future
generations of family to be interred as well. Furthe1Dlore~ extending
the cemetery would only serve to enhance the streetscape appeal of
Lundy's Lane itself. Our cemetery staff does a wonderful job in
maintaining the property and many people remark on how fortunate
we are to have such beautifully kept properties.
Fro~ a revenue standpoint, undoubtedly the graves would sell
very quickly. We know of a number of families that would jump at
the chance to purchase lots there. We respectfully ask that your
council consider this request which we believe is the best use for the
property. Thank you for your kind consideration4

Steve,
I sit on the Board of Directors of the Niagara Falls Multicultural
Network as part of our community partnerships/outreach commitment.
As you mayor may not know, the group has been running programs for
newcomers for the last several years out of St Pauls Lutheran Church on
Victoria Avenue.
This is a non profit group and currently they pay about $500.00 (under
review) rent for the space they use. Since day one they have been
looking for a permanent home for the longtenn & one of the directors
keeps bringing up the old P&R building.
I wonder if you can give me a candid comment on whether or not this
would ever be a realistic option - I don't know whether there are plans
for the building in the future...but more in terms of running the
building on a limited financial budget (in view of its age etc). Can you
give me a ball park number for Heating & utilities....is it more than
$500.00 a month?
Your comments would be appreciated

School Section Five-
Lundy's Lane School at Green's Comers
7565 Lundy's Lane, Niagara Falls, Ontario
Prepared by Nora A. Reid, M.A.
July, 2006
ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN
Style (figs. 4-5, 7-11, 13-17)
The old Lundy's Lane School at Green's Comers was designed in. the Edwardian
Classical style typical for early 20th Century schools in the Niagara Peninsula. Simplified
and exaggerated classical elements and clean lines were the hallmarks of this style. Its
dominant architectural style is Edwardian Classical, as described below. This style was
typical for schools in Ontario during the early twentieth century. The segmental arches
over the doors and the paired side windows are a holdover from the late 19th Century
Italianate style.
As a small, rural, two room school of one storey its five bay fa~ade reflects its interior
arrangement of centre hall flanked by two classrooms. The building displays unique
design features in its paired side windows with shallow arch above and recessed front
entry with pedimented porch. These are not typical of the majority of early 20th century
Ontario schools executed in the Edwardian Classical style which tended to have regular
fenestration and flat facades embellished with classical detail, but can be seen on photos
of other Edwardian era schools in Niagara Falls. 1
The exterior heritage attributes of this building that exemplify the Edwardian Classical
style are:
· high foundation of rock-faced stone set in regular courses.
· doors and windows, single and paired, set on stone sills and topped with triple
rows of brick voussoirs and large contrasting keystones
· brick corner quoins
· portico entrance with a simple pediment supported by short wooden colonettes on
brick piers
· projecting eaves supported by scroll brackets
· hipped roof
Other key heritage attributes include:
· front and back roof dormers with diamond paned windows
· surviving wooden double hung windows on front (south) fa9ade (east two bays),
east fa9ade and north fa9ade
1 Viz.: Falls View School, built Nov. 1910; S.S. #4, ]918; John Marshall School c. 1919 - now demolished.

windows

Architect
The name of the architect who designed the school is as yet not known, however several
features similar to those on this building appear on other early 20th century Niagara Falls
area schools. The paired windows with slight segmental arch above located on the east
and west sides of this building can be seen in photos of the John Marshall school
(originally Stamford Union School) which was demolished in 1969. A similar hipped
roof and recessed entry sheltered by a classical porch (columns and pediment) were also
used at Falls View school (opened 1910), suggesting that the schools were either
designed by the same architect or local architects were "borrowing" individual features.
The Carnegie Library in Niagara Falls (Victoria and Armoury Streets) designed by
William Nichols and built by Alonzo Robertson in 1909-1910 2 displays a similar porch
with classical pediment over its entrance, however so far there have been no documented
records found connecting this architect and builder to S.S. # 5 school at Green's Comers.
Age
The building was constructed in 1915 and formally opened on January 21, 1916.3
Interior (figs. 19 to 30)
Although the interior has seen major changes since the 1950's many original doors and
windows (figs.23, 24 and 26) with their surrounds survive as does the original tin ceiling
(figs. 29 and 30) This is still visible in places although most is hidden by a later dropped
ceiling.
HISTORY
Context
Charles Green and the Green Family
The Patent for the land on which this structure sits was originally deeded from the Crown
to Charles Green on May 17, 1802 and included all of Stamford Township lots 132 and

133 (200 acres).4 The surname Green(e) originates in the County of Northampton,
England and among their illustrious ancestors was Sir Henry Green ( de Greene), who
served as Lord Chief Justice of England. Matilda Green the daughter of Sir. Thomas de
Greene, married Sir Thomas Parr and was the mother of Katherine Parr, the sixth and last
Queen of Henry VIII.
The Greens settled in the New England states of the u.s. during the early 17th Century
and several family members figure prominently in the history of the colonies. Surgeon
John Green was one of 12 settlers in Rhode Island who purchased Narragansett from the
Indians. His son served as deputy governor. The Greens of Boston were among those
who endowed Trinity Church, and Nathaniel Greene was a prominent revolutionary
during the War of Independence. 5
When the revolutionary war broke out, Charles Green, U.E., his wife Sara (or Betsy,
possibly Scritchfield) and their children William, Henry, Reuben and Nancy were
residing in "the Jersies" (New Jersey). He remained loyal to the Crown and in
consequence suffered persecution and financial loss. He fought for the British with the
corps of "King's Rangers". After the battle of Princeton the family was driven from their
home and in the summer of 1786 started off for Upper Canada. They crossed the Niagara
River at Lewiston on September 18, 1786 and sheltered at the home of Philip Bender,
where their daughter, Rebecca was born on September 26th.
Rebecca is believed to have been the first European child born in the Niagara District.
She later married William Biggar and their descendants are still numerous in the Niagara
area. Henry married Mehitible Johnson and Nancy married Samuel Wiggins. Reuben
married Elizabeth (Fortner) and they had fourteen children. Reuben fought with the 2nd
Regiment Lincoln Militia during the War of 1812.
As a United Empire Loyalist Charles Green was entitled to a free grant of 200 acres of
land, and chose lots 132 and 133 in Township No.2, also known as "Mount Dorchester"
but finally as "Stamford Township". Charles Green petitioned the Crown for his land
grant in 1795 and received the'Patent in 1802. The boundaries of his land were from the
present day Dorchester Road West to Kalar Road, with the present Montrose Road as the
Concession road separating the lots. The southern boundary abutted the lands of William
Lundy, and the settlers opened a road along this line that became known as "Lundy's
Lane" (see below). This location at the comer of Lundy's Lane and Montrose Road soon
became known as "Green's Comers". Charles Green died in 1827 at age 87 and was
buried in the cemetery next to the "Old Red Meeting House" (see below), which was later
expanded to become Lundy's Lane Cemetery. His grave is marked and lies just outside
the cemetery fence, several yards east of the former school house at 7565 Lundy's Lane. 6

Lundy's Lane and the Lundy Family
The portion of land on which the current school building sits was once owned by the
Lundy family (see below). William Lundy, a Quaker, was born in Maiden Creek,
Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania in 1741. A United Empire Loyalist who fought for
the Crown during the American Revolution, he traveled by ox drawn wagon from
Pennsylvania with his wife Nancy (Silverthorn) and their six sons and settled on fifty
acres in Stamford Township in 1786. He built a log house and opened a road through the
woods following an Indian trail. This road later became known as "Lundy's Lane".? The
road was declared a public road in 1803. At that time "Lundy's Lane" extended eastward
from William Lundy's property, ending at Green's Comers (Lundy's Lane and Montrose
Road). S.S. no. 5 school house at Green's Comers was thus also known as "the school at
the end of the lane".8
The Old Red Meeting House (fig.l)
Methodism, founded in England by Church of England clergyman John Wesley (1703-
91), came to the Niagara Peninsula with the Unite.d Empire Loyalist settlers. The first
Methodist circuit was organized in 1795 under Darius Dunham. Itinerant "Saddle-bag"
ministers like Major George Neal rode a regular circuit and Methodist class meetings
were held in homes of church members. On Lundy's Lane meetings were held at the
home of blacksmith Jonah Howey. The first Methodist meeting house was Warner's
Chapel, built about 1812. The Lyon's Creek Chapel and the Lundy's Lane Chapel
followed shortly afterward. The first reference to the chapel on Lundy's Lane appears to
have been in Robert Gourlay's statistical account of Upper Canada prepared in 1817.
Goulay reported "Stamford Township has one Presbyterian Church, built in 1791... .One
other church is now building for the Methodists.,,9 The building was 36 by 56 feet and of
log construction. When it was later covered with clapboard and painted red it became
known as "The Old Red Meeting House". Sheds for stabling horses, etc. stood along the
west side of the meeting house along Lundy's Lane and the Concession Road (Montrose).
Its cemetery was located on th~ east side of the chapel. 10
On April 5, 1831, Charles Green sold one and one half acres on the south west comer of
Township Lot 132, "...commencing one chain (66 f1.) from the South West comer of the
said Lot. .." (i.e. at the east side of the Concession road) to Jacob Gamer, Benjamin
Corwin, Issac Howey, James Slack and Darius Williams, the Trustees of the Episcopal
Methodist Church for 12 Pounds 11 (copy of deed in Appendix). Most sources indicate

that this was already the site of the Methodist Church "Old Red Meeting House". The
discrepancy between the date of building the church - 1817 - and the date of the property
purchase has been explained by the fact that during the early 19th century Methodists
were not allowed to own land for church purposes, thus their meeting houses were often
built on private property. Charles Green donated the 12 Pounds he received for the
church property back to the church's building fund. Along with Charles Green, all the
signers of this deed were buried in the meeting house cemetery (now Lundy's Lane
cemetery). 12
The Red Meeting House was an important Methodist centre during the first half of the
19th century. Many eminent Methodist pastors preached there, including Edwy, William
and John Ryerson, brothers of Rev. Egerton Ryerson, the father of the Ontario school
system, and it is believed that the Genesee Conference of the Methodist Church met there
in July of 1820. A new Drummondville Methodist Church (now Lundy's Lane United)
was built near the opposite end of Lundy's Lane in 1845.13 The original meeting house
became the Wesleyan Methodist Church and was known as Lundy's Lane Church. It
remained in use until 1857. The building was moved in 1869 to the Ker property on
Drummond Road where it was used as a barn until it collapsed in 1945. In August 1936
an obelisk shaped stone cairn was erected as a memorial on the site of the Old Red
Meeting House. 14 This sits just east of the former school building at 7564 Lundy's Lane
(fig.3 ).
Lundy's Lane Cemetery (fig.12)
The burial ground located east of the school (now part of Lundy's Lane Cemetery) has
been known at times as "Gamer Cemetery", "Lundy's Lane Methodist Cemetery",
Green's Comers Cemetery", "The Methodist Burying Ground" and "Stamford Township
Cemetery". It contains the graves of members of many pioneer families. Names from
burials in the first half of the 19th century include Lundy, Bell, Swayze, Corwin, Gamer,
Williams., Green, Howey and Pettit. The earliest known burial appears to have been that
of Joseph Corwin, who died April 10, 1820 at age 18. Pioneer Charles Green and the
original Trustees of the Methodist Church who purchased the land for the meeting house
are all buried here (see above).
When the Red Meeting House property was sold to Stamford School Section 5 the grave
yard was not part of the sale. The location of the cemetery lot can be seen on the plan in
figure 32. In 1923 the Lundy's Lane Historical Society obtained a grant from Stamford
Church, 5 April 1831, reg. 15 May 1832; reg. no. 8607. Morden in Niagara Falls Canada. A History'l
states that this is a duplicate deed, the original having been written in 1825.

Township Council to renovate the grounds. IS m 1923 and 1934 the Township of
Stamford purchased a large section of land for cemetery expansion north and east of the
original cemetery from the executors of the estate of John Dew, who had acquired the
land in 1923 from George and Mildred Lundy. The final portion of the cemetery at the
south east comer was acquired by the Township from Mildred Lundy in 1937. At some
point after this 72 graves were moved to provide for expansion of the parking lot behind
7565 Lundy's Lane.16 The cemetery is now cared for by the City of Niagara Falls.
School Section 5
The School at Green's Comers
The first school house on the property was built in 1832 at the north-west comer of the
Meeting House lot and faced the Concession Road, now known as Montrose Road (north
of where the current building sits). The trustees of the Meeting House gave permission
for the school to be built in the following document:
Know all men by these presents that we the trustees of the Methodist
Meeting House at the west end of Lundy's Lane in the Township of
Stamford in the County of Lincoln in the district of Niagara and Province
of Upper Canada do give permission of the said land on the north west comer
joining road allowance sufficient to erect and build a school house theron
for the use of the inhabitants thereabouts, solely for the said school and
for no other purpose... .Signed, sealed this twenty-ninth day of October, one
thousand eight hundred and thirty-two. In presence of George W. Wright,
Benjamin Corwin, Jacob Gamer, Isaac Howey, James Slaght, Darius Williams.I?
This was used until 1871, when the Drummondville Guardian reported that the property
belonging to "The Little Red Meeting House" had been transferred to Stamford School

The Trustees of the Lundy's Lane Methodist Church had sold the meeting house lot in
March 1870 to Lanty B.Lundy. The deed for this transaction locates the parcel as ". ..one
chain from the s w comer. . ." (i.e. on the east boundary of the road allowance) and notes
"Whereas the church no longer requires the land herinafter mentioned.. .and.. .have
agreed to sell the same.,,19 Lundy purchased the property for $100. and one year later, in
March of 1871, sold the same parcel to the School Trustees of Section No.5 of the
Township of Stamford. 20 The school erected on the site (fig. 2) was immediately east of
the present 1915 school building and was still in existence after the construction of the
latter (note present building at left in figure 2).
The north portion of the comer lot on which the present building sits (fig. 33) passed
from Charles Green to Walter Sparkman as part of a parcel of 104 acres, and then from
Sparkman to John Blackwell in a parcel of 64 acres. When Blackwell died about 1867
his executors sold 30 acres of property along the north boundary of Lundy's Lane to
Lanty Lundy.21 This parcel remained as part of the Lundy farm until May of 1911 when
George B. Lundy and his wife Mildred sold it to the Public School Board of Section
Number Five of the Township ofStamford.22
The new two room elementary school at the comer of Lundy's Lane and Montrose Road
was built for Stamford School Section 5 in 1915 and dedicated in January of 1916. The
report of the dedication in the Niagara Falls Daily Record of Saturday, January 22, 1916
reads as follows:

sword dance. The entertainment was brought to a close with a vocal duet
by Miss Helen Gough and Mrs. H. Henderson.
The school, like its predecessors, was known as the Green's Comers school or "the
School at the end of the Lane" (see "Lundy's Lane, pg. 5 above). It remained in use as a
school until the property was sold by the Stamford District Board of Education in June of
1953 to the Municipal Corporation ofthe Township ofStamford.23
Stamford Police Station (figs. 5 and 6)
After its purchase by the township in 1953, the former school building at 7565 Lundy's
Lane became the administration building for the Stamford Township Police force as well
as the site of the Township Courts. The Township of Stamford was incorporated in 1850
but it was not until 1925 that a Bylaw was passed and Stamford hired its first full time
police constable, Henry Welstead, who also functioned as the dog catcher, weed and
sanitary inspector and collector of dog and poll taxes. Prior to this the township was
patrolled by the "Frontier Police", the predecessor to the present Ontario Provincial
Police. A second Stamford constable, Mike Connelly, was hired in 1941 but did not take
up his duties until after the war in 1946. The first Chief Constable of Stamford Township
was William Hamilton, who started work on Feb. 1,1944. An increase in population at
the end of World War II resulted in the hiring of three more men.24 ·
The Stamford Police Commission was formed in July of 1946 and in May of 1947
appointed Robert Worm, a veteran of the Toronto force, as Chief of Police for the
Township.25 On October 9,1953, the local newspaper reported that the Stamford
Township Police would move into their new headquarters, the newly renovated former
S.S. no. 5 School:
Stamford Township police will move into their new Police Administration
Building at 3565 Lundy's Lane Tuesday although official opening ceremonies
will be conducted at a later date, ChiefR. W. Worm announced today.
The Chief Magistrate Johnstone Roberts, Reeve A.G.Bridge and Assistant
Crown Attorney Gerald Nash toured the modem renovated building
following the last session of court in the Township Hall.
The location of the new headquarters, which was formerly S.S. No.5
School, is a strategic one and will enable Stamford police to operate
at an even greater degree of efficiency, Chief Worm pointed out.
"Weare practically in the centre of the township," he said, "and have easy
access to the main arteries leading to the various parts of the township."

. . . Increased facilities for police officers, handling of prisoners, a new
courtroom, and general police administration are contained in the
completely renovated quarters. A five-car garage at the rear of the
main building is the only actual new construction but new floors, ceilings,
furniture and electrical fixtures throughout the building give the interior a
newish look also...
One of the added features will be a room where the searching, finger-
printing and photographing of prisoners will be carried out. Located at semi-
basement level also is the public office where the sergeant's desk, phones
and radio system will be located.. .
Improvements in officers' quarters, which the Chiefbelieves will be well-
Received by the men, include new washroom, shower and locker facilities.
Two cells have been added to the cell block making four cells now avail-
able.
A larger courtroom, magistrate's office, chief's office, a waiting room,
and an office for defence counsel are also among the new buildings
features. . .
Opening of the new headquarters marks another milestone in the phenomenal
growth of the police force in Stamford Township which has kept stride with
the rapid expansion in population, industry and commerce in the township
during the last decade. . . 26
Ten years later, on January 1,1963, the Stamford Police amalgamated with the Niagara
Falls Police Department, after which the building remained a Niagara Falls Police
Department sub-station. The last Court session to be held in the former S.S. no. 5
building was on December 20, 1962 with Magistrate Johnstone Roberts presiding. At the
time of amalgamation the Stamford force consisted of 35 officers and men (fig. 31). John
Cunningham, who had been appointed Chief of the Stamford Police Department in 1958,
took over as Chief of the newly amalgamated Niagara Falls Police Force.27
City of Niagara F"alls
After its closure as a Niagara Falls Police substation, the building was home to the
Engineering Field Crew for the City of Niagara Falls, then the City Planning Department,
and finally the City's department of Parks and Recreation and Culture.28 Parks,

Recreation & Culture occupied the building until September, 2005, when the department
was moved to the McBain Building.29
ENVIRONMENT
Continuity
The structure is compatible with the dominant character of the area, which is a mix of
commercial buildings, heritage and public open space (cemetery).
Landmark
This has been a familiar landmark in the context of this area since its construction in
1915. The building is presently one of only two 1910-1920 schools still in existence in
the City of Niagara Falls, and the only remaining rural two room school of that era. The
other school still in existence from that time is the former King George V School, a two
storey school on Willoughby Drive in Chippawa 3o(fig. 34).
USABILITY
Compatibility
The building is presently unused. Its most recent use was compatible with local land use
and zoning.
Adaptability
The building has had three different uses over the course of its life span and is potentially
adaptable to a variety of different uses in the future including commercial, office space
etc. The building has adequate parking.
Public Use
The building previously housed the City Parks and Recreation offices as well as a public
art gallery and could potentially house these and other types of public use in the future.

BUILDING INTEGRITY
Site
The building occupies its original site and has not been moved.
Alterations
The original building is reGtangular in shape with a small wing projecting from the rear
(north) fa~ade (fig. 17), which appears to have been added after the building was
completed. It does, however, contain older double-hung windows and thus is likely not
as recent as the addition of lower height at the north-west comer (figs. 8 and 17). The
original double-hung windows survive on the east and north sides of the main building
and on the east side of the front fa9ade. On the west fa~ade and the west side of the front
fa~ade these have more recently been replaced by new windows (figs. 8 and 22). On the
south fa~ade a basement entrance door just west of the front entrance was added after the
building became the Stamford Police Station, sometime between 1953 and 1958
(compare figures 4 and 5 to figure 6) to allow direct access to the police public office.
Care was taken with this new entrance to copy th~ form of the original porch (fig. 10).
This was originally a two room school with central hall, however the interior underwent
major changes with partitions added to create new rooms when it became the police
administration building and courts in 1953. Renovations to the building at that time
included new floors and ceilings (obscuring the original tin ceilings), the construction of
jail cells, washrooms, a courtroom, magistrate's office, chiefs offices and other offices.
A five car garage which was constructed at the rear of the main building31 may in fact
refer to the low addition at the north-west comer.
Condition
The building has been assessed to be in sound structural condition.32

STATEMENT OF CUL TURAL HERITAGE VALUE OR INTEREST
This site has cultural heritage significance to the City of Niagara Falls through its
association with the early settlers the Greens and Lundy's (for whom Lundy's Lane was
named) and with the "Old Red Meeting House" (built 1817), the Methodist meeting
house which once stood on the site as well as its adjacent cemetery (now Lundy's Lane
Cemetery) still located east of this structure. This parcel ofland was also the location of
three early Stamford Township schools for School Section 5. This building constructed
in 1915 is the last and only one of these schools still in existence, one of only two school
buildings still surviving in the city of Niagara Falls from the period 1900-1910 and the
only remaining rural two room school of that era. Architecturally it is an example of
early 20th Century Edwardian Classical style, exemplified in its simplified and
exaggerated classical elements and clean lines. Features such as the high stone
foundation, brick comer quoins, portico entrance with a simple pediment supported by
short wooden colonettes on brick piers, windows on stone sills topped with brick
voussoirs and large contrasting keystones, projecting eaves supported by scroll brackets
and hipped roof are typical of this style. It also displays unique design features such as
the paired side windows with segmental arch above and recessed front entry. From 1953
to 1962 it was home to the Stamford Township Police Department and Court, and later
the Niagara Falls police department. Most recently it has been used as an art gallery and
office space for the City's division of Parks, Recreation and Culture.
DESCRIPTION OF HERITAGE ATTRIBUTES
The exterior heritage attributes of this building that exemplify the Edwardian Classical
style are:
. high foundation of rock-faced stone set in regular courses
. doors and windows, single and paired, set on stone sills and topped with triple
rows of brick voussoirs and large contrasting keystones
· brick comer quoins
. portico entrance with a simple pediment supported by short wooden colonettes on
brick piers
. projecting eaves supported by scroll brackets
· hipped roof
Other key heritage attributes include:
. front and back roof dormers with diamond paned windows
. surviving wooden double hung windows on front (south) fa~ade (east two bays),
east fa9ade and north fa9ade
. transoms over the south, east and west entrance doors with diamond paned
windows
. double front entrance doors of wood with two panels, upper half glazed

Denyse,
Thanks for your prompt response. It is truly appreciated.
As for the 11 th, our intention is to make a detailed presentation to
Council regarding our proposal, save and except for the specific revised
financial terms which we understand will remain to be considered by
Council in camera later that night. I anticipate that we will require
at least 45 minutes of time on the agenda. Please let me know if this
timeframe is satisfactory.
Thanks again,
Ernie Coetzee

Presentation on September 11 th
Mr. Coetzee:
We had our Senior Staff meeting yesterday where we set our agenda for our next Council meeting.
We have scheduled your presentation from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.
In light of the interest in this matter, we have determined that our basement committee room may not have
sufficient space for the various stakeholders! community groups who are interested in your group's
presentation. As a result, your presentation will happen in our Council Chambers.
The Council Chambers is fully A V friendly, therefore, we can accommodate your presentation needs.
Also, proceedings in the CO,uncil Chamb,er are covered by the local community cable channel.
I trust this information is satisfactory.
If you have any questions or require anything, feel free to contact me.
