Proposed 4- Storey, 47 Unit Condominium Apartment Building
RECOMMENDATION:
Niag araJ
C A N A D A
That Council not approve the Zoning By -law amendment application to permit the
development of a 4- storey, 47 unit apartment building on the subject land.
BACKGROUND:
Wedgewood Builders of Niagara Limited has requested an amendment to Zoning By -law
No. 79 -200 for a 0.63 hectare (1.5 acres) parcel of land known as 2799 St. Paul Avenue,
as shown on Schedule 1. The amendment is requested to change the zoning from R5A
(site specific) to R5C (site specific) to permit the development of a 4- storey, 47 unit
apartment building, as shown on Schedules 2 and 3.
The lands are currently zoned a site specific Residential 5A Density (R5A -547) zone which
permits the development of a 3- storey, 32 unit apartment building. In late 2006, the
applicant submitted a rezoning application to permit a 7- storey, 68 unit apartment building
on the property. The applicant presented this proposal to surrounding residents who
expressed numerous concerns, including concerns about overshadowing of surrounding
dwellings by the apartment building.
The applicant subsequently revised the proposal to a 5- storey, 19 metre (62 foot) tall
building with 49 dwelling units. This proposal was brought to the July 9, 2007 Council
meeting for consideration. Upon receiving letters of objection from surrounding residents,
the applicant requested deferral of the application to consider further revisions to the
proposal, and subsequently has submitted the current proposal.

Surrounding Land Uses
The property is bounded by single detached dwellings to the north. The Haulage Road
Trail abuts the site to the west, with more single detached dwellings on the west side of this
road. Commercial uses, including the Queen's Restaurant and used car sales lots, are
located to the south and the east.
Neighbourhood Meeting and Resident's Comments
A neighbourhood meeting with the surrounding residents was held by the applicant on
August 1, 2007. The residents raised concerns about the design of the site including the
positioning of the waste disposal site, the preservation of vegetation and trees on the
property, and the potential for traffic generation. Several of the residents indicated they
had concerns with the height and size of the development and would prefer the site
developed with a 3- storey, 32 unit apartment dwelling as per the current zoning.
Several letters of objection have been submitted by residents and are on tonight's agenda.
These letters cite concern about the height and the overshadowing of surrounding
residences by the apartment building, and the lack of conformity the development has with
surrounding dwellings.
Planning Analysis
Although the project has been reduced to a height that is closer to Official Plan objectives,
due to the height, massing and siting of the building the proposal will adversely impact on
the properties to the north and cannot be recommended for approval. The following is a
summary of staff's analysis of the application:
1. The proposed 4- storey apartment building does not conform to the Official
Plan.
The property is designated Residential in the City's Official Plan. Residential areas
are primarily intended to be developed for various types of residential dwellings.
Apartment buildings up to a density of 75 units per hectare (30 units per acre) and
heights of 3 to 4 storeys can be developed at the periphery of residential
neighbourhoods where they have access to arterial roads, are in close proximity to
schools, parks and neighbourhood commercial areas and are compatible with
surrounding development.
In addition, the Official Plan encourages a gradation of building heights with
sufficient horizontal distance separation to ensure a complementary arrangement
of residential uses. Further, new and infill development shall be designed and
integrated to achieve compatibility with the surrounding area in terms of density,
height, mass, setbacks and appearance.
These policies are not met as follows:
October 15, 2007 3 PD- 2007 -88
2. The requested zoning is not in keeping with the character of the area.
The current R5A -547 zone permits 32 dwelling units in an apartment building and
a height limit of 10 metres (32.8 feet). The applicant wishes to increase the number
of dwelling units to 47 and a height of 14 metres (46 feet) to allow a 4- storey
building. The building elevations (Schedule 3) depict ceiling heights of
approximately 3.0 metres (10 feet) each floor which is slightly higher than typical
construction.
The length of the building has been increased from 67 metres (220 feet) to
76 metres (250 feet) over the previous submission. As there has been no
attempt to reduce the massing by breaking the building up into components,
this increase in length increases the massing of the building as viewed from
the north. This significant degree of massing is out of character with the
surrounding single family residences.
The siting of the building is too close to the north property line and the
adjacent dwellings for a building of this height. The building has a setback
of 7 metres (23 feet) (as opposed to 8.2 metres or 27 feet on the previous
submission). This setback is Tess than the minimum 7.5 metres (24.6 feet)
required for the rear yard setback of the adjacent detached dwellings and is
insufficient, given the height and massing of the proposed building.
Currently the R5A zone has a height limit of 10.0 metres (32.8 feet). This is
the same height limit as per the adjacent single detached dwellings. The
proposal to have a building height of 14.0 metres (46 feet) is an increase of
40% over the previous approval. This proposal does not provide the
gradation of height nor sufficient distance separation as directed by the
Official Plan.
While the Official Plan permits a height in the range of 3 or 4 storeys and a density
of up to 75 units per hectare (30.4 units per acre), the configuration of the lot and
location near detached dwellings place some constraints on the ability to develop
this site to the maximum. The increase to 4 storeys does not provide an adequate
gradation of height to the nearby 2 storey dwellings which is compounded by the
minimal side yard setback. Typically as buildings get higher, greater setbacks are
established to ensure compatibility and compensate for the increase. As well, the
length to height of the proposed building creates a very massive built form in close
proximity to the detached dwellings.
CONCLUSION:
1. The application to amend the Zoning By -law to permit a 4- storey, 47 unit apartment
building on the site cannot be supported for the following reasons:
It does not conform with the Residential policies of the Official Plan, in
particular the siting of apartment building and the compatibility of the
proposal with surrounding dwellings.

Proposed 5- Storey, 49 Unit Condominium Apartment Dwelling
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council not approve the Zoning By -law amendment application to permit the
development of a 5- storey, 49 unit apartment building on the subject land.
BACKGROUND:
Wedgewood Builders of Niagara Limited has requested an amendment to Zoning By -law
No. 79 -200 for a 0.63 hectare (1.5 acre) parcel of land known as 2799 St. Paul Avenue,
as shown on Schedule 1. The amendment is requested to permit the development of a
5- storey, 49 unit apartment building, as shown on Schedules 2 and 3.
A site specific Residential Apartment 5A Density -547 (R5A -547) zone was applied to the
land in 2001 which permits the development of a 3- storey, 32 unit apartment building. As
the Official Plan allows such low -rise apartment buildings to be developed in this location,
the proposal was approved by Council.
The land is requested to be rezoned to a site specific Residential Apartment 5C Density
(R5C) zone to permit the proposed apartment building. A comparison of the current and
proposed zoning standards follows:

The applicant initially proposed a 7- storey, 68 unit apartment building with a height of 21
metres (70 feet) which included a parking structure along the former Hydro Haulage Road.
At a neighbourhood meeting in January, the applicant presented this proposal to
surrounding residents. Concerns about the height of the building and impacts on
surrounding dwellings including overshadowing and the loss of privacy, traffic and servicing
capacity were raised. Subsequent to this meeting, the applicant scaled back the project
to a 5- storey,18 metre (60 foot) tall building, as currently proposed.
Surrounding Land Uses
The property is bounded by single detached dwellings to the north. The Haulage Road
Trail abuts the site to the west, followed by more single detached dwellings. Commercial
uses, including the Queen's Restaurant and used car sales lots, are located to the south
and the east.
Circulation Comments
Regional Municipality of Niagara
The Region's Smart Growth Plan and the Provincial Policy Statement promote
compact forms of development and residential intensification in built up areas.
Regional Planning staff is not opposed to this application from a Provincial or
Regional planning perspective. The City should be satisfied the proposed
development is compatible with the adjacent residential neighbourhood.
Municipal Works
No objections. Trip generation for this development does not warrant a traffic
study and no further road widening dedications are needed. There are
adequate municipal services for the development.
Fire Services
2
PD- 2007 -57
No objections. The applicant will need to demonstrate adequate fire access
and fire protection at the site plan stage.
Parks, Recreation Culture
Cash -in -lieu of parkland dedication will be required when condominium
approval is requested. The provision of street tree planting, protection of
existing trees and landscaping will be required at subsequent stages of
development.
July 9, 2007 3 PD- 2007 -57
Building Services
All required building permits to be obtained prior to commencement of
construction.
Surrounding Residents
Many letters of objection have been received from residents and are included
on tonight's agenda. Concerns have been raised about the height of the
building, its impact on surrounding dwellings (in terms of shadowing and loss
of privacy) and incompatibility with surrounding dwellings in terms of
architecture and density. The residents also question the proposal's
conformity to the Official Plan.
Planning Analysis
1. The proposed 5- storey apartment building does not conform to the Official
Plan.
The property is designated Residential in the City's Official Plan. Residential areas
are primarily intended to be developed for various types of residential dwellings.
Apartment buildings up to a density of 75 units per hectare (30 units per acre) and
heights of 3 to 4 storeys can be developed at the periphery of residential
neighbourhoods where they have access to arterial roads, are in close proximity to
schools, parks and neighbourhood commercial areas and are compatible with
surrounding development.
As the project meets the above noted locational criteria, the density of the
development is within the intent of the Official Plan. However the building height
does not conform to the Official Plan. In addition, the proximity of the building to
abutting single detached dwellings raises concerns regarding compatibility.
The Official Plan limits the height of apartment dwellings in this area to 3 to 4
storeys to protect adjacent low density residential areas from the effects of
overshadowing and loss of privacy. The proposed building has 5 storeys and is
close to a height of 19 metres (62 feet), equivalent in height to a 6- storey apartment
dwelling. The increased height is intended to accommodate higher than average
ceiling heights. The Official Plan directs buildings of this height away from low
density residential areas and to sites adjacent to minor and major commercial
districts, where abutting uses are less impacted by tall buildings, or there is an
opportunity to develop a gradation of building heights down to single detached
dwellings.
In addition, the building has been shifted to the north side of the property from the
proposal shown to the residents in January, bringing the siting of this tall building
closer to the single detached dwellings on Emma Street. The building should be
reduced in height and located as far from abutting dwellings as possible and
towards the front of the site. Redesigning the site also may allow for increased
efficiencies in the parking layout, thereby creating more landscaped open space to
buffer adjacent uses. A building architecture that would be complementary to the
architecture of the adjacent single detached dwellings should also be considered.
July 9, 2007 4 PD- 2007 -57
A site on the east side of St. Paul Avenue and south of the adjacent hydro power
line corridor was zoned in 1991 for a 6- storey apartment dwelling. This project,
although still unbuilt, was approved on the basis that it abutted the hydro corridor
to its north and impacts on the residences to the east and to the south would be
mitigated by increased building setbacks (15.5 metres or 50 feet). In addition,
parking for the development was provided underground, allowing for increased
landscape coverage to further mitigate impacts on surrounding properties. The
owner of this project has considered developing these lands for a single storey
commercial development rather than the permitted apartment dwelling, but has not
submitted a formal request to do so.
2. The requested zoning is not in keeping with the Official Plan.
The requested R5C zone would permit a building that is nearly twice as tall as what
is currently permitted on the site. For the reasons noted above, this is not
appropriate for the site or for the surrounding area. A zone category which reflects
the height limits contained in the Official Plan would be more appropriate.
CONCLUSION:
1. The application to amend the Zoning By -law to permit a 5- storey, 49 unit apartment
building on the site cannot be supported for the following reasons:
It does not conform with the Residential policies of the Official Plan, in
particular the siting of taller apartment buildings and protecting low density
residential areas from the adverse impacts of high rise development.
The height of the development would be out of character with surrounding
residential uses.
2. The applicant should consider reducing the height of the development and
redesigning the development to ensure it is compatible with the surrounding
residential area.

Dear Mr. Iorfida,
Further to our telephone conversation of Tuesday September 25, 2007, our petition is structured to clearly
oppose any change in the current zoning of 2799 St Paul Ave, without regard to the type of application before
Council. Our group's general consensus is that the petition continues to be admissible as the opinion of its
signatories, and should be included as an appendix to the upcoming Planning Staff Report for the October 15,
2007 Public Meeting.
If you require a copy for inclusion, please advise.
Thank you for your co- operation assistance.

DEV LOPMENT
RE: City File AM-41/2006 Revised 2799 St. Paul Ave.
We live at 6284 Emma Street (Lot 10). We are writing a letter of objection for the
proposed development at 2799 St. Paul Ave., because a 4- storey, 46 foot apartment
building, which is 40% taller than the current zoning height, will have a negative
impact on our home and lives. We built our home 3 years ago with the understanding
that the land at 2799 St. Paul Ave. was already re-zoned in 2001 to (R5A -547), which
would permit a 3- storey apartment. We made a substantial financial commitment to
the City and built a new home. In the spirit of equity and fairness to all surrounding
citizens, we hope that the City keeps the commitment of its current 2001 zoning of 3
stories, 32 feet.
Many reasons, outlined below, identify to Council that a 4- storey apartment building in
this location will be an infringement upon my basic citizen's rights. We would not have
built our family home, in which we have invested our life savings, if the land was zoned
for a 4- storey. Our rear lot is 150 feet wide. That means that depending on the final
positioning of the building, our total privacy will be violated, and our quiet enjoyment
of personal property will be forever impaired. We are concerned that the `shadowing
study' will show that the 4- storey building will block sunlight from our property, which
is not fair to us as citizens. This also means we will have people looking out of their
apartments and their balconies at us. There are a few spectacular full -grown trees
about 10 feet from the property line. It would be a disgrace to remove this beautiful
nature. These provide a natural privacy screen, but the developer wants them cleared.
Please be considerate of the daily lives of the residents of Emma Street. We are
concerned about the increase in noise from cars, people, air conditioning units,
garbage trucks, and traffic. We are concerned about the lighting at night, the pollution
from the idling engines of cars and ultimately we are scared about having our privacy
invaded. We have young children and the thought of someone watching their every
movement and step from the fourth floor makes us nervous and worried.
We ask that you take our concerns to heart. No one wants to have a 4- storey apartment
building in their backyard. The land has already been rezoned once, and this zoning is
current. We need to stop this development. It is not in character with the existing
neighborhood.
One last thing, the developer is focused only on the profit to be obtained in building a
4- storey, 46 foot tall apartment. The land is zoned for a 3- storey. Why not build that!

RE: 2799 St. Paul Avenue Zoning By -law Amendment Application
City File: AM- 41/2006 Revised Wedgewood Builders of Niagara Limited
Once again we are writing with regards to the proposed change in the above application
As we expressed at the time of the original application in July, we strongly object to re-
zoning in any form. When we purchased our land it was clear that the land on 2799 St.
Paul was zoned for a three storey apartment. As proud home owners, and dedicated tax
payers, we feel that our concerns should be considered and respected.
Any building which is higher than a three storey, 32 feet structure is intrusive to our
family oriented neighborhood. Regardless of any effort on the developer's behalf, there
will be issues with increased noise, pollution, and traffic. A taller building is not
compatible with our well maintained homes and will decrease our property value.
We ask that you consider our request to adhere to the current zoning by -law.
Yours truly,

Re: 2799 St. Paul Avenue Zoning By -law Amendment Application
City File AM- 41/2006
This is to advise that we are residents of 6299 Jupiter Blvd. and we object to the proposed 4 storey, 47
unit apartment building at 2799 St.Paul St.
When we purchased our property the land was zoned to permit a 3 storey, 32 unit apartment building.
Now we have this proposal which will further increase the occupancy of this site. The 4 storey, 46
foot apartment building is 40% taller than the current zoning height.
This building will be very intrusive and unsuitable to this neighbourhood. There will be an increase in
noise and a loss of rear yard privacy. The increase in the number of vehicles will make the entrance
and exit onto St. Paul St. even more difficult for surrounding residents and businesses.
The City's Official Plan states that although there is a demand for a variety of multiple residential
accommodations it also states that these types will "not be mixed indiscriminately, but will be
arranged in a graduation of building height and densities The Official Plan continues by saying that
"street townhouses, block townhouses, maisonettes, apartments and other similar multiple unit
structures 2 to 3 storeys can be developed to a maximum of 50 units per hectare."
The Official Plan also encourages new residential development and infilling but states that it is to "be
designed and integrated to achieve compatibility and sensitivity with the surrounding area in terms of
density, height and graduation, building mass and arrangement The density is greater than what
exists and the height is excessive in comparison with the existing houses.
The existing residents have an investment in their property and foresee an overwhelming decrease in
the property value if this proposal is approved.
We encourage you to deny this application.

AM- 35/2005, Official Plan and Zoning By -law Amendment Application
Marineland Parkway
Applicant: Napev Construction Limited
Agent: Uri Salmona, Salmona Tregunno Inc.
Proposed Apartment Development
RECOMMENDATION:
Niag araJ
CANADA
That Council approve the Official Plan and Zoning By -law amendment application to permit
the development of two apartment buildings on the land, subject to the westerly apartment
building being limited to a maximum of 4 storeys, the easterly apartment building being
limited to a maximum of 8 storeys and the building envelope being secured as shown on
Schedule 2.
BACKGROUND:
Napev Construction Limited has requested amendments to the Official Plan for a 1.05
hectare (2.6 acre) parcel of land on the south side of Marineland Parkway, west of Stanley
Avenue, as shown on Schedule 1. The application has been revised for a 4 storey
apartment building and a 10 storey apartment building, containing a total of 162 dwelling
units, as shown on the attached Schedule 2.
The applicant originally proposed two 8 storey apartment buildings containing a total of 196
dwelling units on the property, however this proposal was deferred by City Council on
November 20, 2006 at the request of the applicant to allow for the submission and review
of a revised proposal. A copy of Staff Report PD- 2006 -95 is attached for reference.
The land is currently designated Tourist Commercial in the City's Official Plan. Residential
development may also be permitted if the land is surplus to tourist commercial needs but
are subject to the height, density, and Iocational policies of the Residential designation.
The applicant has requested special site specific policies be added to the Official Plan to
permit a density of 154 units per hectare (62 units per acre) and a height up to 10 storeys.

October 15, 2007 2 PD- 2007 -83
The subject lands are currently zoned Tourist Commercial (TC) which permits a variety of
tourist commercial uses up to 12 metres (40 feet) (4 storeys) in height. The zoning of the
land is requested to be changed to a site specific Residential Apartment 5F (R5F) zone to
permit the proposed development.
Surrounding Land Uses
Land to the south are wooded and intended to be developed in the future as part of the
Thundering Waters Golf Course. The Drummond Park Village subdivision exists to the
south west which is comprised of semi detached dwellings and detached dwellings. To the
north there are zoning approvals that would permit the development of a 7 storey and an
8 storey hotel.
Neighbourhood Meeting
Further to the November 2006 Council meeting, the applicant held a neighbourhood
meeting with surrounding residents on April 3, 2007. The applicant presented 3 different
proposals as follows:
The original proposal of two 8 storey apartment buildings containing 196
units.
A proposal of a single 14 storey building containing 176 units.
A proposal of a 4 storey and a 10 storey apartment building containing a total
of 162 units.
Some residents cited concerns with all three proposals, including overshadowing and a
Toss of privacy for abutting residents and the potential for increased traffic on McLeod
Road.
The applicant has formally submitted the third proposal (the 4 storey and 10 storey
apartment building scheme), but has further revised the proposal by shifting the 4 storey
building further away from the west property line and the nearby residences to allow room
for landscaping and buffering.
Planning Analysis
The applicant has made changes in the proposal that more closely reflects the building
heights and densities contemplated by the Official Plan, as well as a development that is
more in character with surrounding development. Provided the easterly building is reduced
in height to 8 storeys, the proposal meets the prerequisite criteria for an Official Plan
change, as follows:
1. The proposal generally conforms to the Tourist Commercial policies for
surplus lands.
The land is designated Tourist Commercial and is within the Fallsview Subdistrict.
Given its location a buffering low density residential dwellings, building heights are
restricted to 4 storeys in this subdistrict.
October 15, 2007
3 PD- 2007 -83
Although the and is intended primarily for tourist commercial uses, multiple family
residential developments may be considered under the Residential policies if the
lands are in excess of demand for tourist commercial purposes. The applicant's
planner has provided the opinion that this land is surplus to the tourist commercial
needs. He cites the focus of new development in the area near the Fallsview
Casino. Given its location on an arterial road near a Minor Commercial district, the
site is appropriate for an apartment dwelling use. The lands are outside of the
primary development area of the Tourist Commercial core and adjacent to
residential lands. The property is of sufficient size to accommodate a multiple unit
development.
2. The site is suitable for an increase in height and density within the Official
Plan.
The applicant is seeking site specific amendments for height and density. The
Residential policies permit apartment buildings in the range of 4 to 6 storeys and a
density up to 100 units per hectare (40.5 units per acre) on the periphery of
residential neighbourhoods and convenient access to an arterial road. In addition,
the Official Plan encourages a gradation of building heights with sufficient horizontal
distance separation to ensure a complementary arrangement of residential uses.
Further, new development should be designed and integrated to achieve
compatibility with the surrounding area in terms of density, height, mass, setbacks
and appearance.
The applicant has revised his proposal to show a 4 storey building (a reduction from
the previously submitted 8 storeys) and a second building of 10 storeys. The
applicant has moved toward a gradation of building heights by providing a stepped
form from 4 storeys to 10 storeys. However, the 10 storey building is still taller than
the existing approvals north of Marineland Parkway which has zoning for 7 and 8
storey buildings. Therefore, any additional height on this property should not
exceed 8 storeys.
The current proposal shows a setback for the westerly (4storey) building to provide
a 6 metre (19.6 feet) setback from the property line. This is an improvement over
the previous submission before Council and when the width of the Con Rail drain
is factored in provides a distance separation of 42 metres (138 feet) to the nearest
low density residential property. The taller of the two buildings has a distance
separation of 82 metres (270 feet) from the houses in Drummond Park Village.
The density of the project is 154 units per hectare (62 units per acre). Typically,
higher densities are encouraged next to the downtown on Major Commercial areas
where efforts are being made to strengthen the market. Given that these lands are
a conversion from the current Tourist Commercial designation, and will directly
access an arterial road which is intended to carry the highest order of traffic, an
additional density could be accommodated.
The applicant has requested the land remain under the Tourist Commercial
designation, with special site policies to permit the proposed development.
Although apartment buildings may be permitted under the Tourist Commercial
designation, Planning staff recommend the land be redesignated Residential, with
October 15, 2007 4 PD- 2007 -83
special site policies that reflect the recommended development. This designation
will better reflect the proposed development and will allow the application of a
residential zone that is consistent with the designation.
3. Availability of Adequate Municipal Services and Facilities for the Proposed
Use and its Impact on the Transportation System
The applicant has submitted servicing and traffic studies that indicate current
infrastructure can generally support the development. The Region's Public Works
Department has factored this development into their McLeod Road Corridor Study
to ensure road infrastructure will support anticipated traffic. However, additional
infrastructure, including a waterman loop to service the site and nearby lands and
a left turn lane into the development, should be provided. Should Council support
the application, a hold symbol should be implemented through the site specific
zoning. This symbol would be lifted once the necessary agreements to provide the
servicing infrastructure have been executed.
4. Need for the Proposed Use and the Extent to which Existing Areas of the City
Designated for the Proposed Use are Developed or Available for Development
Although the latest City statistics identify an inventory of vacant residential land as
required under Provincial legislation to be available for development, Planning staff
do not object to the use of the land for multiple family residential purposes. A
residential development of an appropriate scale will complement the surrounding
neighbourhood and provide additional housing choices for residents. In addition,
nearby tourist areas which see a substantial number of tourists only at certain times
of the year could be enhanced by the presence of year round residents.
5. It is recommended the land be put under a site specific Residential Apartment
5E Density (R5E) zone to permit the development.
The Land is zoned Tourist Commercial (TC). The applicant has proposed rezoning
the land to a site specific Residential Apartment 5F Density (R5F). However, the
R5E zone permits densities of 149 units per hectare (60 units per acre) which more
closely approximate the 154 units per hectare (62 units per acre) density proposed.
The land should be put under a site specific R5E zone. This zone should limit
heights to 4 storeys for the westerly building and 8 storeys for the easterly building
and should secure the configuration of building envelopes as shown on Schedule
2. Additional site specific provisions will recognize the minor reductions proposed
to the front and rear (southerly) yard setbacks from the typical R5E standards.
CONCLUSION:
The revised application to amend the Official Plan and the Zoning By -law can be
supported, provided the buildings are limited to heights of 4 storeys and 8 storeys
respectively and to the proposed building envelopes, for the following reasons:
It is in conformity with the general objective of the Official Plan, in particular that
residential areas are protected from the adverse impacts of high rise, high density
development.
October 15, 2007
The recommended project is of a height and density that provides a gradation of
heights and distance such that it will not adversely impact on surrounding
development.
The lands should be designated Residential with site specific policies for height and
density.
The property should be rezoned as R5E with site specific provisions for height and
density as well as site specific setback requirements.

AM- 14/2007, Zoning By -law Amendment
5382 Robinson Street and Lands on the West Side
of Stanley Avenue, South of Robinson Street
Applicant: Canadian Niagara Hotels (Michael DiCienzo, Vice President,
Design and Development)
Agent: Emilio Raimondo, Raimondo and Associates
Allowing Tandem Parking On -Site and Permitting a Portion of the
Required Parking Off -Site
a prove
That Council de ,r the Zoning By -law amendment application to permit a portion of the
required parking off -site and to allow tandem parking on -site
Canadian Niagara Hotels has submitted an application to amend the Zoning By -law for the
2 parcels of land shown on Schedule 1. Parcel 1, known as 5382 Robinson Street, has
pre- existing zoning for a 26 storey hotel. The zoning amendment is requested to allow
approximately 174 of the parking spaces required for the hotel on Parcel 1 to be provided
off -site on Parcel 2, and to change the parking space provisions on Parcel 1 to allow
required parking spaces to be provided in tandem.
In 2004, the City approved a site plan application for a 340 room hotel on the property. All
required parking was contained on -site within 4 underground parking levels.
A portion of Parcel 1 (5382 Robinson Street) is being used as a parking lot The rear
portion of the site slopes steeply toward Queen Victoria Park, which is located to the east
of the site. The Jolley Cut is located to the north of the parcel, while the Skylon Tower
lands are located to the west and the south of the parcel.

A parking lot is located on Parcel 2 (Stanley Avenue). Lands to the north of this parcel are
used for a variety of residential and commercial purposes, while lands to the east and
south are used for tourist accommodations, and lands to the west are owned by Hydro 1
Networks and leased for a temporary off -site parking lot.

Planning Analysis
2 PD- 2007 -82
Regional Planning staff is not opposed to this application from a broad
Provincial and Regional planning perspective.
Transportation Services is not supportive of the off -site parking
arrangements. All the required parking can be accommodated on -site by
the use of parking stackers.
The on -site tandem parking arrangement depends on substandard
manoeuvring aisles for access. The applicant is required to demonstrate the
tandem parking arrangement will be functional.
The detailed servicing arrangements and site grading, along with the
provisions of site access, waste disposal, emergency accesses, details on
the valet operations as well as implementation of a tow away zone on the
Robinson Street cul -de -sac are all to be implemented at the site plan stage.
Parks, Recreation and Culture
A landscape plan for both parcels will be required at the site plan stage. As
the site abuts the Jolley Cut, environmental protection measures to protect
the Jolley Cut are required to be shown on this landscape plan.
Adequate fire access and fire protection to be demonstrated at the site plan
stage.
All required Building Permits to be obtained prior to commencement of
construction.
1. The proposed change is not consistent with the Official Plan policies for
"grandfathered" zoning.
Both Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 are designated Tourist Commercial in the Official Plan.
Parcel 1 was zoned for high rise development in 1966. This zoning was carried
October 15, 2007
3 PD- 2007 -82
forward into Zoning By -law 79 -200 which allows a building to be 76 metres (249
feet) high. The Official Plan provides two policies for development with pre- existing
zoning. First, the policy provides that none of the Tourist Commercial policies
supersede any site specific zoning which exist before the policies were adopted.
Second, the Official Plan states that any proposal to replace existing developments
shall satisfy the intent of the policies.
In effect, as long as it complies with the existing zoning he can build a hotel without
meeting any of the policies of the Official Plan including design criteria and
architectural peer review requirements. However, any proposal to change the
existing development approval must satisfy the intent of the Tourist Commercial
policies. The request to change the zoning is considered contrary to the intent of
the Official Plan since it would replace existing development approvals with new
standards.
2. The requested off -site parking facilities will have and impact on the
surrounding area.
The Official Plan encourages required parking for large tourist commercial
developments to be contained on site preferably in parking garages or underground
parking. In addition, the Urban Design Objectives of the Tourism Policy Review
recommend all required parking be provided on -site, as a general rule. Surface
parking lots are to provide a landscaping strip of 6 metres (20 feet) between the
parking lot and abutting streets to create a more pleasing streetscape.
Off -site parking is undesirable for the following reasons:
It increases traffic congestion on City streets as valet drivers transport
vehicles between the hotel and the parking lot instead of patrons walking to
an on -site parking facility.
The City has already received numerous complaints about the driving habits
of valet drivers on City streets accessing other off -site parking lots and the
addition of further such facilities may cause further complaints.
The proposed hotel and ancillary uses require 329 parking spaces in total. The
applicant is proposing to provide 155 spaces (47% of the total) on -site parking
spaces and 174 spaces (53% of the total) off -site. A comparison of this request to
other off -site parking arrangements is included in Appendix 1. Appendix 1 shows
12 hotels where Council has granted an exception to the norm by allowing hotels
to provide a portion of their required parking off -site. The subject application seeks
to provide more of its required parking off -site (53% of the total) whereas the
average of other hotels which rely on off -site parking facilities is 45
In addition, the Parcel 2, which is to be used for off -site parking, is located 512
metres (1,680 feet) away from the proposed hotel, more than twice the average
distance of 218 metres (717 feet) between other off-site parking lots and the hotels
they serve (as shown in Appendix 1).
October 15, 2007 4 PD- 2007 -82
3. It has not been demonstrated the reduction in parking space standards for the
tandem parking will work on -site.
The zoning by -law requires parking spaces in parking garages to have direct access
to a manoeuvring aisle with a minimum width of 6.3 metres (20.7 feet). The
applicant is proposing to tandem park up to 4 vehicles (see Schedule 3), accessed
by a 3.7 metre (12 feet) wide manoeuvring aisle. Such an arrangement is going to
require a number of vehicular movements to get one vehicle out. The applicant has
not yet demonstrated that this arrangement will work. If such movements cannot
be achieved, it may be that further off-site parking will be needed for the temporary
storage of vehicles while retrieving other vehicles, contributing to further traffic
congestion in the general area.
4. The building encroaches into the rear (east) yard of Parcel 1 for which no
relief from the zoning requirement has been requested.
The proposed development has been designed such that the parking garage
extends beyond the hotel tower on its east side. This parking garage is located
underground at the west property line, but as the site slopes down to the east, it
projects significantly above grade at the east property line. As can be seen on the
attached Schedule 2, this garage is set back about 0.6 metres (2 feet) from the rear
(east) property line, whereas the Zoning By -law requires all parts of a building on
the subject land to be set back 3 metres (9.7 feet) from the rear property line. The
applicant has been made aware of this non compliance, but has noted he disagrees
with staff's position.
CONCLUSION:
1. The proposed Zoning By -law amendment cannot be supported for the following
reasons:
Recommended by:
Approved by:
A. Bryce: mb
Attach.
Locating required parking off -site is not encouraged by the Official Plan, is
not in keeping with the Council adopted Tourism Policy Review
Implementation Handbook and will contribute to traffic congestion on City
streets.
The proposed on -site tandem parking arrangement has not been
demonstrated to work.
2. It is recommended the proposal be redesigned to contain all required parking to the
hotel site.

Re: 5382 Robinson Street Zoning By -law Amendment Application
on behalf of Canadian Niagara Hotels City File No. AM- 14/2007
I am writing to you on behalf of 656508 Ontario Limited (Skylon Tower) which is the
owner and capital tenant of lands adjacent to the lands affected by the above -noted Application.
The principals of 656508 Ontario Limited are members of the Yerich family, which has
significant holdings in this area, including the operation of the Skylon Tower.
We are in receipt of the Notice of Application and Public Meeting with respect to the
above -noted matter. We are still conducting a review of this Application and may be providing
supplementary comments at a later date. It is also our intention to appear as a delegation at the
public meeting scheduled for October 15, 2007 to make further submissions.
At this time, we have several concerns with the Application. First, the amount of off -site
parking that is proposed and the significant distance to the proposed off -site location may cause
patrons of the proposed hotel, dining guests of the proposed hotel and staff of the proposed hotel
to seek more proximate and affordable parking on the lands of the Skylon Tower. This may have
an adverse impact upon available parking for patrons of the Skylon Tower and other nearby
businesses controlled by the Yerich family.
Second, the proposed additional traffic for Robinson Street which will be created by off
site parking may have adverse impacts and implications for other users of Robinson Street and
the long -term development plans of the Yerich family and other proponents in the area.
At this time, it is our submission that the proposal does not represent good land use
planning and we will elaborate further upon our concerns once we have had an opportunity to
complete our review of this matter.

7797 Lundy's Lane (Rear Land)
Owner: 968566 Ontario Inc. (Bhavanbhai Patel)
Agent: Nick Cirillo
Proposed Residential Lot Addition
RECOMMENDATION:
BACKGROUND:
Proposal
PD- 2007 -85
That Council approve the Zoning By -law amendment application to change the TC zoning
of a strip of land north of the Advantage Inn (7797 Lundy's Lane) to the R1 E zone to permit
a lot addition to the residential property to the north (7798 Spring Blossom Drive).
The amendment is requested for a 484.6 square metre (5,216 square foot) parcel of land
located at the rear of 7797 Lundy's Lane (Advantage Inn) as shown on Schedule 1. This
land is proposed to be added to the abutting residential property to the north (7798 Spring
Blossom Drive). Schedule 2 illustrates the subject land (Part 1), the balance of the motel
property (Part 2) and the existing residential lot (Part 3). The applicant has requested that
the Tourist Commercial (TC) zoning on Part 1 be changed to the Residential Single Family
1 E Density (R1 E) zone to permit the lot addition.
Surrounding Land Uses
The Lundy's Lane properties generally to the south contain several motels and tourist
commercial uses. There is a residential plan of subdivision for single- detached dwellings
to the north and northwest with homes also located to the northeast on Beaverdams Road.
Circulation Comments
Information on the requested zoning amendment was circulated to City divisions, the
Region, agencies and the public for comment. The following summarizes the comments
received to date:

Planning Review
Various matters were considered in assessing the application. Based on this analysis,
approval is recommended. The review of the amendment is summarized as follows:
1. The proposal complies with the policies of the Official Plan.
The City's Official Plan designates land with frontage on Lundy's Lane Tourist
Commercial. The land to the north with frontage on the subdivision street is
designated Residential. The proposal would transfer the rear portion of the motel
land to an abutting residential lotto the north. The Official Plan would allow the land
use designations to be interpreted to follow the new rear lot line between the
properties. Part 1 is not currently utilized by the motel development. The proposal
would enlarge the rear yard area for the dwelling on Part 3 and provide an
increased separation between the residential dwellings to the north and any
potential redevelopment on the tourist commercial land.
2. The requested Zoning By -law amendment is appropriate.
The City's Committee of Adjustment granted approval to a related severance
application (B37/2007/NF) to permit this boundary adjustment. A condition of
approval for the severance is that Part 1 be zoned the same category as the
abutting residential property. The lotto the north is zoned R1 E. The balance of the
motel property (Part 2) satisfies zoning requirements for lot size and the setbacks
of the existing building comply with the minimum by -law provision.
Staff view the resulting irregular lot configuration as an interim step. The agent
advises that the owners of the other abutting lots on Spring Blossom Drive are not
interested in acquiring the area directly abutting their properties at this time.
However, the long term objective should be that Part 1 be divided into three parcels
to be added to the respective lots. This would provide better property configurations
and increase the rear yard amenity area for each lot.
CONCLUSION:
Approval of the requested amendment would satisfy a condition of a related severance
application. The proposal complies with the Official Plan and is supported by staff.

the subdivision.
BACKGROUND:
Proposal
The applicant proposes to develop a 17.235 hectare (42.59 acre) site for a residential plan
of subdivision with a total of 308 units. The property is located on the west side of Kalar
Road, between McLeod Road and Brown Road (see Schedule 1). The subject lands
involve all of Phase 1 and part of Phase 2 on a draft plan approved by the Region in 1998.
Schedule 2 illustrates the revised subdivision layout. The plan proposes 146 Tots for
single- detached dwellings, 14 lots for semi-detached dwellings (28 units), 27 blocks of land
for 134 on- street townhouse dwelling units and blocks of land for a park, walkway /open

space and a watercourse channel. A temporary stormwater management area is proposed
at the south limit of the plan. There is a temporary emergency access located in the
northeast area of the plan through additional land to the north owned by the applicant. The
balance of the land to the west will remain under the old file, but a new design and
subdivision application(s) are required in the future.
The east portion of the site is currently zoned Residential Single Family 1D Density (R1 D),
Residential Single Family 1F Density (R1 F), Residential Mixed (R3) and Hazard Land (HL)
through site specific Zoning By -law No. 98 -228. The west section of the subject land is
zoned Development Holding (DH) through Zoning By -law No. 79 -200. The applicant has
requested the zoning on the subject land be changed to a site specific Residential Mixed
(R3) zone for the single- detached lots, semi detached lots and on- street townhouse blocks,
the Open Space (OS) zone for the parkland and walkways and the Environmental
Protection Area (EPA) zone for the watercourse channel.
Public Consultation
The Planning Act requires that a Public Meeting be held to receive input on subdivision
proposals prior to making a decision. Council held the Public Meeting for this plan on June
25, 2007. There were two members of the public that spoke at the meeting regarding the
sensitivity of the Warren Creek watercourse, woodlands and Provincially Significant
Wetlands in the area. A letter was submitted from the solicitor representing Cytec located
to the southwest advising of concerns with residential uses in the vicinity of their industrial
operation. The required Public Meeting for the zoning amendment is satisfied through
tonight's meeting and provides another opportunity for public comment.
Planning Review
Various matters were considered in assessing the proposed plan of subdivision and zoning
amendment. Based on this analysis, approval is recommended subject to detailed
conditions of approval for the subdivision and with minor revisions to the requested zoning
amendment. The review of the applications is addressed under the following headings.
Existing Development Approval
The Region approved a draft plan of subdivision in 1998 for the applicant's land north of
the hydro property extending between Kalar Road and Garner Road. The east portion of
the site (Phase 1) contained a mix of single- detached, semi detached and on- street
townhouses. Phases 2, 3 and 4 further west were in block form. Several extensions to this
draft plan have been granted by Council and staff has granted a temporary extension
pending the review of the current applications. This existing approval needs to be changed
to address new environmental requirements for the protection of Warren Creek and
Provincially Significant Wetlands in the area.
Surrounding Land Uses
A large property abutting to the north is designated for future residential development. An
automotive scrap yard exists to the northeast (7549 Kalar Road). This site is now owned
by the applicant and the non conforming use is to be eliminated through a proposed
October 15, 2007 3 PD- 2007 -86
multiple -unit residential development (File AM- 19/2007) that will be subject to a future
public meeting. There are two dwellings, Provincially Significant Wetlands (PSW) and land
currently zoned for light industrial use on the east side of Kalar Road. A hydro corridor, a
dwelling and industrially- designated land containing agricultural crops are located to the
south. West of the subject land is the proposed realignment channel for Warren Creek,
another PSW area and the applicant's vacant land draft approval for future residential
development.
Official Plan
The City's Official Plan designates the majority of the property Residential which permits
a variety of housing types. The floodplains of the two existing branches of the Warren
Creek watercourse on the site are designated Environmental Protection Area. The Official
Plan promotes a compatible mix of dwelling types, lot sizes and densities to provide a full
range of housing opportunities and potential affordable housing. With the satisfaction of
the required conditions of approval regarding industrial lands in the area, the development
will be compatible with the existing and future surrounding uses. The proposal is
consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and the Growth Plan.
The Official Plan indicates that the overall net density of residential development is
generally limited to 25 units /hectare (10.1 units /acre). The overall net density of the
development is approximately 23.4 units /hectare (9.5 units /acre). The Official Plan permits
on- street and block townhouses to a maximum net density of 50 units /hectare (20.2
units /acre). The net density of the townhouse portions of the plan is calculated at
approximately 41 units /hectare (16.6 units /acre). The submitted plan is in keeping with
these Official Plan policies.
Garner Neighbourhood Secondary Plan
The policies of the Official Plan are refined through the Garner Neighbourhood Secondary
Plan. General roadway locations are shown on the land use concept plan for the Garner
Neighbourhood. Various housing types are encouraged to meet the needs of different age
groups, family sizes and incomes. Environmental features are to be protected. The
subdivision satisfies these objectives and the intent of the Secondary Plan.
The Secondary Plan seeks a target housing mix of 70% single /semi- detached units and
30% multiple residential units. Based on lotting modifications requested by staff, the
subdivision will provide 61.4% single and semi detached units and 38.6% on- street
townhouses. This mix will satisfy recent Provincial initiatives which promote more multiple
residential units and greater densities.
Warren Creek Environmental Assessment
In accordance with the Warren Creek Watershed Master Plan, the City initiated an
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the realignment of the existing watercourses in the
area. The EA also included an examination of potential impacts on the Provincially
Significant Wetland to the west. This subdivision plan has been on hold pending the
technical analysis of the creek realignment routes and stormwater management
requirements for the larger area. The EA is currently in the public commenting phase. The
subdivision was designed in anticipation of the general alignment of the east channel
October 15, 2007 4 PD- 2007 -86
(Block 189). However, the width of this block will need to be increased to correspond with
the final approved watercourse location. Encroachments of the rear of proposed lots
abutting the channel must be shifted out of this area. Schedule 3 demonstrates the
preferred east and west channel alignments from the Environmental Assessment and a
conceptual layout of the subdivision. The land for the channel realignment (within the plan
as well as on other properties in the area) is to be acquired by the City through
Development Charges. The EA must be completed before the subdivision design can be
finalized. The ultimate realignment of the creek tributaries will be designated and zoned
Environmental Protection Area.
Subdivision Design
The developer has undertaken revisions to the plan based on issues identified during the
review process. The subdivision proposes a compatible mix of dwelling types and lot sizes
with a road pattern and lotting that represents an efficient use of urban residential land.
The townhouses are central to the plan in proximity to the open space areas. Larger
frontage single- detached lots have been positioned with access on Streets "B" and "F" to
minimize driveways to these collector roads. Further minor lotting changes are requested
by staff to substitute singles /semis for townhouses (17 units) in two areas of the plan to
improve compatibility and vehicle access issues. The applicant is agreeable to these
modifications.
The road rights -of -way are requested to be increased to current City standards. The
developer wishes to continue discussions with staff regarding the possible acceptance of
a reduced right -of -way boulevard area to accommodate service installation. An emergency
access through the applicant's abutting land to the northeast is required. The development
of the subdivision will be limited to approximately 100 units (excluding Street J) until a
second permanent road access is available. Traffic calming techniques are required and
there will be parking restrictions on certain streets to ensure adequate fire access. The
temporary stormwater pond will be constructed on land proposed for future single- detached
Tots, if and, when the stormwater area is relocated. A recreational trail is proposed on other
land of the developer to the west and bridge crossings of the Warren Creek channels are
needed. Sidewalks are required in accordance with standard municipal practice.
Additional land of the applicant is located to the south as shown on Schedule 1. The
applicant has submitted an Official Plan amendment application (File AM- 31/2005) to
change the designation of this land from Industrial to Residential for a large scale mixed
use development which will be subject to a future public meeting. The subdivision plan
previously showed a road connection to the south that has now been eliminated. Until a
decision is made with respect to possible residential development to the south, a road
connection is premature. The City will reserve a lot opposite Street B at the south limit of
the plan to allow access to the area if the Official Plan is amended in the future to permit
residential development on the land to the south. This addresses one of the comments
raised by Cytec.
Zoning Amendment
The R3 zone category provides development standards for single- detached and semi-
detached Tots and on- street townhouse blocks. The request is to modify the existing site
specific R3 zoning by -law. The watercourse channel will be in an Environmental Protection
Area (EPA) zone. The park blocks and walkway blocks will be zoned Open Space (OS).

The following chart presents information on the R3 zone development standards for
singles, semis and on- street townhouses. The City standard by -law provisions and the
staff recommendations for the current plan are shown. Changes to the typical R3 zoning
provisions are illustrated, other standards such as the minimum rear yard setback for all
dwelling types is maintained at 7.5 metres (24.6 feet).
The proposed zoning standards apply "new urbanism" principles to create a pedestrian
oriented subdivision with homes /porches closer to the street and garages located further
back. The majority of lots exceed the proposed minimum lot area provisions. The
requested setbacks for garages from both front and exterior side yards are greater than
current City standards and allow space to park a vehicle in the driveway. The same interior
side yards are proposed for singles and semis regardless of height while on- street
townhouses will provide greater side yards. The maximum lot coverage provisions account
for the reduction in setbacks and differentiate between singles /semis (50 and
townhouses (55 These coverage figures represent potential building footprints and
actual dwelling coverages will likely be reduced with architectural design features. A minor
increase in dwelling height is requested for roof designs. The developer requests that both
garage and driveway parking (tandem) be permitted for the on- street townhouses to meet
the zoning requirement and this is acceptable.
Regional Comments
5
PD- 2007 -86
The Regional Planning and Development Department has no objections to the approval
of this development. The plan provides a variety of dwelling types and densities with the
potential for affordable housing. Regional Public Works request standard conditions.
October 15, 2007 6 PD- 2007 -86
Regional Planning also reviewed the subdivision with regard to Provincial policies.
Conditions are requested for environmental studies to evaluate potential impacts and
mitigation measures from surrounding industrial lands /uses. There are also requirements
for stormwater management, protection of the creek and Provincially Significant Wetland
as well as an archaeological assessment.
Agency Comments
The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority requests conditions relating to the
completion of the Warren Creek Environmental Assessment, zoning and designation of the
creek area, stormwater management and an environmental impact study. Canada Post
advises that the residents will be served by Community Mailboxes and requests typical
conditions. Hydro One requirements must be satisfied for their abutting corridor to the
south. In addition, the developer will be required to enter into separate agreements with
several utility companies.
CONCLUSION:
The Warren Woods Draft Plan of Subdivision is an appropriate development of the site.
The design applies contemporary planning principles. The application is consistent with
the Provincial Policy Statement and complies with the policies of the Official Plan. The
construction of the necessary municipal services (sanitary sewers and pumping station,
watermain, storm drainage works) are anticipated to be completed by mid -2008. The
recommended Zoning By -law amendment will provide suitable regulations for the
construction of the dwellings and also to protect the watercourse. The required conditions
of approval are listed in the Appendix.

Draft Plan of Subdivision
Warren Woods Development
West Side of Kalar Road, south of McLeod Road
Files: 26T -96001 (Modified Draft Plan) and 26T -11- 2006 -02 (New Draft Plan)
Owner: Warren Woods Land Corporation and 617567 NB Inc.
City of Niagara Falls
The above referenced application proposes a plan of subdivision that involves modifications to an
area previously identified as Phase 1 in an existing draft approved plan for Warren Woods (file
26T- 96001) with a new detailed subdivision proposal (file 26T -11- 2006 -02) for a majority of the
lands previously identified as Phase 2 on the draft approved plan. The current plan contains a
total of 297 residential units including 153 single detached dwelling lots, 15 semi detached
dwelling lots for 30 units, 22 blocks for 114 street townhouse units and blocks for a park, open
space and an existing watercourse on a total of 17.235 hectares (42.59 acres) of land.
Background
I€3 kr S V
A plan of subdivision for the Warren Woods Development was previously draft approved in 1998.
This plan illustrated four phases for a residential development for lands situated between Kalar
Road and Gamer Road along the north side of an Ontario Hydro corridor. Phase 1 was located
toward Kalar Road and included a detailed road and lot layout for 113 single detached dwelling
lots, 46 street townhouses and parcels for stormwater management and future development.
Several conditions of draft approval identified the need for a more detailed plan for blocks in
remaining phases (Phases 2, 3 and 4) to show lots for low and medium density housing, park,
open space, walkway and woodland protection once environmental studies were completed to
deal with the realignment of Warren Creek and to evaluate impacts on natural heritage features as
required in the Warren Creek Watershed Master Plan.
The applicants own additional lands in the area which, together with the subject property, will form
part of a major project they are proposing for an integrated community development comprised of
various housing types, employment areas, recreation /community facilities and a network of public
space for environmental protection purposes. A significant portion of these additional lands is
designated Industrial in the Niagara Falls Official Plan. Provincial policies require the completion
Building Community. Building Lives.
2
of a comprehensive review to justify the redesignation of these lands to non employment uses.
The applicants have submitted supporting studies for this purpose which are being peer reviewed
by the City's consultant (urbanMetrics Inc.) hired to undertake a comprehensive review of the
City's employment and residential land supply. The City's review will be considered as part of the
Region's Growth Management Strategy that is underway for the broader Regional market area to
conform to the Provincial Growth Plan. If it is determined that these employment lands can be
redesignated, more detailed secondary planning will need to be considered by the City in
cooperation with other stakeholders in the neighbourhood.
In the interim, the subject lands are already included in a draft approved plan and appropriately
designated in the Official Plan and the Garner Neighbourhood Secondary Plan. Further, the
applicants have now submitted supporting information that is necessary to assess the present
proposal including a Functional Servicing Report prepared by Rand Engineering Corporation
and an Environmental Constraints Analysis prepared by L. Campbell Associates. An
Environmental Assessment has also been initiated by the City for drainage works required for
this neighbourhood. Therefore, it would not be unreasonable to have this first stage of the
proponent's overall concept plan considered at this time from a Provincial or Regional planning
perspective. The following Regional and Provincial comments are provided for your
consideration.
Regional Planning Comments
This development is located in the Niagara Falls Urban Area Boundary according to the Regional
Policy Plan. A variety of land uses and densities are permitted in the Urban Area where full
municipal services can be provided. Regional policies rely on local official plans to designate
urban land for more specific types of uses in appropriate locations to meet a range of community
needs. In particular, the Regional Policy Plan encourages local municipalities to prepare
secondary plans to provide detailed land use and development policies.
The proposed subdivision is situated at the southerly limit of the Garner Neighbourhood
Secondary Plan which was approved by the City in 1997 to guide residential development in this
part of the Westlane Neighbourhood. The subdivision meets the general land use objectives of
the Secondary Plan by containing a mix of low to medium density housing. However, the City
should be satisfied that the design will facilitate suitable linkages to future development anticipated
on adjacent lands to the north and west.
Warren Creek bisects the site in two locations. The alignment of the northeast tributary will be
maintained while the northwest tributary is proposed to be realigned onto adjacent lands bordering
the west of the subdivision. The City has initiated an Environmental Assessment for drainage
works that include this realignment. This is expected to follow watershed management strategies
recommended in the Warren Creek Watershed Master Plan prepared in conjunction with the
Garner Neighbourhod Secondary Plan. In principle, the watercourse realignment will allow for a
more efficient subdivision design. The new subdivision design, however, tends to isolate the
applicants remaining lands to the west which illustrated a conceptual layout on the original draft
approved plan (file 26T- 96001). The City should determine the appropriateness of maintaining
draft approval for these remnant lands since a new design will be required in the future.
The Region's Core Natural Heritage Map, which forms part of Environmental policies adopted by
Council, designates adjacent lands to the west as an "Environmental Protection Area" to reflect
Provincially Significant Wetlands (part of the Warren Creek Wetland Complex) and Warren Creek
as "Fish Habitat Development and site alterations may be permitted where it is demonstrated
that there will be no significant negative impact on the Core Natural Heritage System. An
Environmental Constraints Analysis, prepared by L. Campbell Associates in 2004, has been
3
submitted to identify natural heritage features and to provide a general assessment of potential
development impacts. An Environmental Impact Study is necessary to meet Regional and
Provincial environmental policies. This may be considered through the Environmental
Assessment (EA) that has been initiated by the City for drainage works in the area including the
realignment of Warren Creek onto adjacent lands. More detailed comments on environmental
impacts are provided later in this letter under our Provincial review on behalf of the Ministry of
Natural Resources.
In accordance with the Region's policy, the assignment of servicing allocation to a subdivision is
not given until final approval of the plan is being considered. Two standard conditions of draft
approval are included in Appendix 1 to address this matter.
Regional Public Works
The Regional Public Works Department is not opposed to the plan of subdivision subject to
several conditions of draft plan approval. Servicing drawings will be required to be submitted to
the Regional Public Works Department for review in conjunction with Certificates of Approval
required from the Ministry of the Environment. Although comments from Regional Public Works
indicate that several lots at the south end of Street `A' may not meet the Region's waste
collection policy, the applicant's original plan has since been revised slightly to provide for a
temporary stormwater management facility in this area. Compliance with the Region's waste
collection policy will still be necessary for any partial phasing of this plan. Regional Public
Works staff has also advised that future development plans for the broader area that extends to
Regional Road 98 (Montrose Road) will require consideration of a road widening and a Traffic
Impact Study.
Detailed comments from Regional Public Works are attached as Appendix 2 and necessary
conditions of draft approval have been included in Appendix I.
PROVINCIAL REVIEW
To address Planning Act requirements, the Region and other planning authorities must be
consistent with Provincial policy requirements. Regional Planning staff has reviewed this
subdivision application in Tight of the most relevant policies from the Provincial Policy Statement
2005 and the Provincial Growth Plan while considering interests of Provincial Ministries. The
following Provincial comments are provided for your consideration.
Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing
Provincial policies encourage the provision of a full range of housing types and densities in
settlement areas to meet housing needs of the regional market area. The Provincial Policy
Statement makes specific reference to the need for housing designed to be affordable to
moderate and lower income households. Approximately 48 of the proposed development will
be for semi detached and townhouse dwelling units which should provide the opportunity for
more affordable forms of housing to be built as promoted under Provincial policies.
Ministry of Environment and Energy
i) Land Use Compatibility
The proposed subdivision is adjacent to vacant lands to the south and east that are currently
designated and zoned for industrial purposes. A vehicle wrecking yard also abuts the northeast
corner of the subject property which we understand has recently been acquired by the proponents
4
for future residential use. The developers have also submitted applications and conceptual plans
to redesignate these industrial lands for a new residential community that will essentially be an
extension of the Garner Neighbourood. As previously mentioned, this will depend on the results
of the comprehensive review that requires further consideration by the City and the Region. As no
decision has been made to convert these lands, potential land use conflicts should be taken into
account in the event that future land uses in the Official Plan are not changed.
Policy 1.7.1 (e) of the Provincial Policy Statement requires that industrial and sensitive residential
uses be appropriately separated to prevent adverse effects and to ensure long term economic
prosperity in the community. This is also important to meet objectives of the Growth Plan related
to the protection and preservation of employment lands. Ministry of the Environment (MOE)
guidelines for land use compatibility recommend separation distances and other control measures
to minimize or prevent potential adverse effects. Several conditions of draft approval for the
original Warrens Woods subdivision were requested by the MOE for this purpose. These
included a warning clause in the subdivision agreement and the preparation of a study to evaluate
potential impacts, mitigation measures and /or separation distances. Similar conditions are
included in Appendix 1 that will be applicable if adjacent industrial lands are not redesignated or
rezoned prior to final approval of the subdivision plan. These conditions will be cleared through
the Regional Planning and Development Department due to its delegated Provincial review
responsibilities.
ii) Environmental Site Condition
The subject property was previously used for agricultural purposes, however, due to the close
proximity of the adjacent scrap yard to the northeast there may have been adverse effects on
soil conditions. Therefore, a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) should be
undertaken and, if recommended, a Phase 2 ESA to test soils on the subject lands to determine
if any remediation is necessary. A Record of Site Condition should also be filed in the
Brownfields Environmental Site Registry of the Ministry of the Environment if a Phase 2 ESA is
completed.
iii) Sewage and Water Systems
Full municipal sewage and water services will be provided for this development. Servicing
capacity and design will be addressed as conditions of draft plan approval. Certificates of
Approval will be required for servicing plans from the Ministry of the Environment.
iv) Stormwater Management
A Functional Servicing Report, prepared by Rand Engineering Corporation (September 2005),
included a stormwater management plan for the proposed subdivision which considered
stormwater management strategies from the Warren Creek Watershed Master Plan completed
in 2000. Warren Creek drains to the Chippawa Power Canal east of the QEW, which outlets to
the Welland River. The lowering and realignment of the northwest tributary of Warren Creek;
improvements to the northeast channel; and the provision of "in- stream" storage were identified
as essential stormwater management requirements. The preliminary design proposed by the
applicants' consultant also included a conceptual design for the broader community
development being planned which generally conforms to the overall strategies outlined in the
Warren Creek Watershed Master Plan. A Class Environmental Assessment (EA) is currently
being done by the City to provide storm drainage for the overall area as generally set out in the
Master Plan. This process will consider alternatives for storm drainage which will require the
cooperation of adjacent property owners and possibly the acquisition of adjacent lands to
facilitate the channel realignment. Although the preliminary stormwater management plan for
the proposed subdivision incorporates the preferred route for the Warren Creek realignment, the
EA must be approved before the draft plan of subdivision is finalized. Construction of works for
the master drainage plan will also affect the timing for the subdivision to be built.
In accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding for Improving the Planning Function in
Niagara, the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) is responsible for providing
technical clearance on matters affecting the natural environment. Requirements for a
stormwater management plan and environmental impact study (EIS) are included as conditions
of draft plan approval listed in Appendix I. The NPCA will review the detailed stormwater
management plan and environmental impact study on our behalf and provide comments
through the Regional Planning and Development Department to clear relevant conditions. It is
recognized, however, that the EA process for drainage improvements in the area should
address most of the impacts related to natural heritage and that an EIS may not be required.
This will be determined in consultation with the NPCA prior to final approval of the subdivision.
Ministry of Natural Resources
An Environmental Constraints Analysis was prepared by L. Campbell Associates to identify
natural features and to provide some preliminary comments on recommendations for
environmental protection. This review included all lands owned by the applicants for the
proposed Warren Woods community. As indicated in this report, it is not an "Environmental
Impact Study however, it does serve as a preliminary review of environmental issues affecting
the proposed subdivision. A more detailed analysis will be necessary to demonstrate that
development will not have negative impacts on natural heritage features or on their ecological
functions as required in the Provincial Policy Statement, the Region's adopted Environmental
policies, NPCA regulations and the Warren Creek Watershed Master Plan. This may be
considered through the EA process as previously mentioned.
Ministry of Culture
This development exhibits a moderate to high potential for the discovery of cultural heritage
resources based on criteria of the Ministry of Culture that includes the proximity of the site to a
watercourse and other registered sites existing in the broader area. An archaeological
assessment of this development will, therefore, be required prior to any site disturbances as a
condition of draft approval.
Conclusion
5
From a Regional and Provincial planning perspective, Regional Planning staff has no objection
to the modifications for the draft approved plan of subdivision or the new plan for the Warren
Woods Development subject to the conditions of draft plan approval as set out in the attached
Appendix I. The City should also consider whether draft approval should still be maintained for
the adjacent lands to the west (file 26T- 96001)since the design no longer fits with the current
subdivision proposal and some of these lands now contain of the designated Warren Creek
Provincially significant wetland complex.
If you have any questions concerning these comments or questions, do not hesitate to contact
me for assistance. Please send notice of the City's decision regarding this application.

DEV ELOPMENT in
The NPCA has reviewed the revised Warren Woods submission noted above and offer the following
comments for your reference and consideration.
As you are aware, the NPCA had deferred commenting on these applications pending completion of the
Warren Creek Watershed Class Environmental Assessment. As you are aware, the EA had potential to
impact the subdivision layout and design with the watercourse realignment and meander design.
The NPCA recently provided comment to Mr. Rick Volpini with copy to you (letter dated Thursday
September 27 2007) respecting the EA, and confirming our agreement with the Warren Creek
realignment Block through the subject property. Our EA review and subsequent comments pertained to
ensuring an acceptable natural channel design that would accommodate regulatory flood standards, On
the basis of our EA review and comment (and which all parties have agreed to) the following issues are
noted in relation to the proposed subdivision layout:
1) It appears to me that the Block 124 on the draft plan (the channel realignment block) does not match
the agreed upon block configuration from the EA.
2) The agreed upon (EA) creek meander results in the watercourse nearly touching the creek block limits
as it meanders. This results in some rear lot lines virtually adjacent the watercourse edge. No detailed
EIS has been completed to determine appropriate setbacks /mitigation,from the adjacent realigned
watercourse for the "Street D" lots which back onto these meander points.
3) I recall our recent discussion respecting the potential for a recreational path adjacent the creek
realignment. I have discussed this issue with our technical staff and understanitlhat due to the
"engineered" nature of the channel design (depth, meander and cross sections) the channel location is
generally fixed. Alteration of the channel location or meander would require further redesign. As such, an
2
increase in block width would be required to accommodate a path or trail. Further, a maintenance access
easement would be required as well (which has not been provided for). Any proposed recreational path
could also serve as a maintenance access.
4) I am unclear as to whether or not the "temporary SWM Block" shown on the plan has been adequately
sized. We would ask that the consulting engineer provide confirmation that the temporary SWM block has
been adequately sized.
5) While there appears to be a design consensus amongst the parties involved in the EA process, it
should be noted that the formal EA process has not been formally completed as of yet. Any draft
conditions should reference final completion of the EA.
1 would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss these issues first hand as I am aware the
applicant is anxious to proceed with his approvals.

New Draft Plan Application 26T -11- 2006 -02 (west portion)
City of Niagara Falls
Further to my comments to you dated yesterday, and our subsequent telephone discussion including your
e- mailed /faxed information, as well as the additional "revised" draft plans submitted to our office over the
last two days (including this afternoon), the following information is offered.
You will recall that the NPCA had deferred comment on these applications until the EA process had
determined the appropriate creek block realignment width and location. Although this issue has generally
been agreed upon now, the draft plan has not been amended to reflect this information. You have
indicated that you will be addressing .these matters through draft plan conditions.
Despite the recent information submitted, I remain unclear as to the precise amount of additional space
remaining between the westerly property limit of the subdivision lands and the westerly creek realignment
block. The NPCA does not have a drawing which clearly indicates this area (with dimensions). Further,
the "Creek Realignment" drawing from Robert O'Dell appears to show the westerly creek Block being
relocated within the PSW boundary. The draft plan drawings submitted (including the one e- mailed this
afternoon) do not show the approved westerly creek corridor as per the EA (although they are not part of
the draft plan lands, this is important information that should be clearly shown on the plan as per Section
51 requirements),
While the NPCA has agreed upon the creek corridor width and location through the EA, the EA process
itself has not yet been formally completed. As such, Conservation Authority staff is of the opinion that an
accurate representation of the draft plan design is important and should be amended prior to any draft plan
approval.
Yours truly,
2
As a result of this continued uncertainty respecting this draft plan application, it is the NPCA's
recommendation that all these issues be resolved before draft plan approval is granted. As you are aware,
these issues directly affect the lot layout and road pattern of the plan in such a way as to be deemed
beyond "minor" in nature. As such, it is the NPCA's opinion that these issues should not be dealt with
through draft plan conditions.
In summary, the NPCA do not support the approval of the draft plan applications until the above noted
issues have been resolved. Should the applications proceed (notwithstanding), please send notice of any
Council decision.

Cytec Canada re Warren Woods
Our File No. 050225
We are the solicitors for Cytec Canada Inc. "Cytec with respect to the above proposal.
We have received a copy of the City of Niagara Falls' "the City") Notice of Public
Meeting with respect to a public meeting scheduled for Monday, October 15, 2007 to deal
with a Zoning By -law Amendment Application (File AM- 42/2006) and the "Warren
Woods" Draft Plan of Subdivision (Files 26T -96001 (Revised) 26T -11- 2006 -02).
We ask that this letter be provided to Council for its consideration as part of the public
meeting process.
Cytec owns approximately 1000 acres north of the Welland River. Its lands front on
Garner Road. Cytec operates its phosphine plant from this location. Cytec wishes to
ensure that any development being approved in the vicinity of Cytec, such as the proposed
development, does not compromise the ability of Cytec to utilize its lands for the Heavy
Industrial uses for which its lands are zoned, including its phosphine plant. Cytec also
wishes to ensure that any stormwater from any developments do not adversely impact
Thompson's Creek, owned by Cytec, and integral to the manufacturing operation.
In the last number of years, Cytec has accommodated proposed resort development in its
vicinity, for e.g. Heartland Forest Niagara and Grand Niagara by agreeing to a radius
restriction and a height restriction being imposed on overnight accommodation in those
two developments. At a minimum these protections would have to be secured from the
Warren Woods development.

However, there is a more fundamental issue. Cytec is of the view that this proposed
development differs from the prior resort developments in that it seeks to confirm and
enlarge the scale of permanent residential uses in the vicinity of Cytec. Therefore, Cytec
has outstanding significant and substantial concerns regarding the proposed development
plans being outlined in the Notice.
The City has a long established industrial precinct, including the Cytec lands, in this area
of the municipality. For instance, the Cytec property has been utilized for Heavy Industrial
purposes since World War II. It is respectfully submitted that the City should be doing its
utmost to maintain and enhance the industrial designations and should not permit
encroaching residential land uses onto industrial /employment lands.
In its recent initiatives, the Province has introduced greater protection against the
conversion of industrial /employment land uses to residential uses. In light of those
initiatives and the changing planning dynamic, it is Cytec's view that the City should re-
examine the appropriateness of entrenching the existing residential designation and further
that the City should not support the expansion of any additional residential designation or
zoning as proposed by the applicant onto the additional lands of the applicant.
We note that by not granting any additional residential designations or zoning, there
remains an opportunity to ensure that the additional lands of the applicant are utilized and
continued to be utilized for employment land uses, permitting a transition of uses between
residential in the north and west and the industrial designations, including the Cytec lands.
We recognize that there will be subsequent public meetings regarding the additional lands
owned by the applicant, but there remains a concern that the proposed approval of this
Zoning By -law Amendment and Plan of Subdivision on the Subject Lands inappropriately
advances the consideration of those subsequent approvals being requested by the applicant.
Therefore, should the City proceed to approve the applicant's Zoning By -law Amendment
and grant draft approval for the Plan of Subdivision on the Subject Lands only, it should
ensure that any proposal to secure additional lands for further development (which would
be subject to a redesignation from industrial) is not advanced. Specifically, any future road
connections or any other suggestion that it is appropriate to further designate and/or rezone
and/or provide draft plan approval to additional lands• owned by the applicant should be
eliminated. In addition, warning clauses should be included so that purchasers of lots on
the draft plan are notified of Cytec and other heavy industrial users in the area. Further,
appropriate conditions should ensure that the stormwater management regime being
proposed does not impact adversely on Thompson's Creek owned by Cytec.
Thomson
■Rogers
We continue our request that the City ensures that Cytec continues to receive notification
at the above address, together with providing notification directly to Cytec: attention of
Ken Milo. Such notifications would include those required under the Planning Act,
including the passing of any zoning by -law amendment and/or any granting of subdivision
draft approval and/or amendment of conditions of subdivision draft approval. We have
copied Mr. lorfida, the City Clerk, on this correspondence to facilitate this notification.
We trust the foregoing is satisfactory.

It is with great pleasure that I call upon all mayors, reeves, councillors and
community leaders from across Canada to proclaim Restorative Justice Week 2007.
The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) has been an active partner in the
restorative justice community for more than a decade and has been proud to provide
leadership to the annual celebration since 1996.
Restorative Justice Week 2007 will be held within Canada and throughout the
world from November 18 -25. This year's theme, "Facing the Questions focuses on
sharing best practices and lessons learned from those who are involved in restorative
justice. In the past, a growing number of communities have responded to this
challenge. In 2005, for example, 111 towns and cities across Canada proclaimed
Restorative Justice Week.
Here are some suggested steps you can take as leaders in your community:
Declare /proclaim Restorative Justice Week 2007. Please visit www.csc-
scc.gc.ca /text /portals /rj /index e.shtml for a printable proclamation form.
Host a town hall meeting to promote awareness of restorative justice in your
community.
To help nurture the healing process, promote open, respectful dialogue regarding
issues such as public safety and the effects of conflict in your community.
Challenge your community partners to create a local planning committee for
Restorative Justice Week 2007 activities.
Invite a guest speaker from your community who is involved in restorative justice
to share his or her perspective. Speakers are available through CSC's
Chaplaincy/Restorative Justice Branch at: RestorativeJustice (a,csc scc.gc.ca
Canada
Municipal participation in previous years has been a great success and we are
hoping to build on that this year. If your city, town or village is planning an event or
proclaiming Restorative Justice Week 2007, please fax a copy of the proclamation
with your contact information to Carol -Anne Grenier at (613) 943 -2171. Your
participation in this initiative will be recognized in our national report.
I hope that you will support this initiative in your community.
Sincerely,
Z

P.O. Box 100

LOS 1T0
On January 11, 2007, Council and Senior Management held a strategic planning
session at which time Council set priorities for 2007.
The strategic workplan prepared by staff for the Transportation issue priority is
appended to this report. The next step is to obtain a Council resolution seeking the
support of the Ministry of Transportation to proceed with an Environmental Assessment
and Final Design for the QEW /Glendale interchange.
BACKGROUND
The Town is serviced by two provincial highways: the Queen Elizabeth Way and King's
Highway No. 405. At present, there is a single interchange on the QEW connecting to
the Town of Niagara -on- the -Lake road system via Regional Road 89 known as
Glendale Avenue. The nearest interchange located at Regional Road 102 (Stanley
Avenue) in Niagara Falls is on Kings Highway No. 405. The interchange, due to its
position on top of the escarpment, does not lend itself to truck traffic movement as it
connects through the urban communities of St. Davids and Queenston via roads with
steep grades. Other interchanges are located several kilometres to the west and south
of the Glendale interchange on the QEW.
The Ministry conducted a Value Engineering Study of the QEW /Glendale interchange in
2003 in partnership with the Region of Niagara and Town of Niagara -on- the -Lake. The
report noted that the current scheme does not adequately accommodate estimated
2011 afternoon peak hour traffic levels. It further states: "Delays and queues are
Page 1
significant throughout the study area road network." The outcome of that investigation
yielded four network alternatives which should be subjected to further review in future
studies. The Executive Summary for the Value Engineering Report is appended to this
report for reference.
The Town of Niagara -on- the -Lake Transportation Master Plan Study, which was
completed in 2004, recommended that the Region and Town should meet with the MTO
to initiate the new Glendale Avenue Interchange Preliminary Design and EA study.
(The study should include the new Highway 405 /Concession 6 Road Interchange).
In the meantime, there have been several projects which affect this interchange. The
QEW Sand Plant Hill contract included the relocation of the Toronto bound on and off
ramps to a common intersection with traffic control signals on Glendale Avenue. The
more recent project involved the removal of the redundant building structure over old
York Road and construction of a sidewalk from Taylor Road to York Road. The
sidewalk is currently being constructed.
DISCUSSION
The Director of Public Works. and Director of Planning and Development met with the
Region's Director of Transportation Services, Mr. Joe Cousins, on May 2, 2007, to
discuss the next steps. In the discussion, it was agreed that the informal approach to
the Ministry of Transportation has been exhausted and that it is necessary to have
formal resolutions from both Town and Regional Councils.
This report is intended to initiate a Town resolution and to forward this to the Region for
support. A draft resolution has been prepared and is attached to this report. It was
also suggested that the local M.P.P.'s office be contacted for setting up a meeting with
the Minister of Transportation for presentation of the resolution. It was further agreed
that letters of support from commercial, industrial, institutional as well as development
interests may assist with getting the message across and should be pursued.
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended
1. That the draft resolution attached to Report PW- 07 -O40 urging the Ministry of
Transportation to proceed with the environmental assessment process and detailed
design of the new QEW /Glendale Avenue interchange be approved by'Council.
2. That the resolution be forwarded to the Regional Municipality of Niagara, the Cities
of Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, and Thorold, as well as local Members of Provincial
Parliament, for their support.
3. That the resolution be forwarded to the Minister of Transportation with letters of
support from the Region, neighbouring area municipalities, and local M.P.P.'s.

Ministry of Transportation
QEW Glendale Avenue Interchange
Value Engineering Study
Value Engineering Report (Draft)
Executive Summary
The future adequacy of the Glendale Avenue crossing of the Queen Elizabeth Way and the
related interchange was reviewed as a result of anticipated development of the adjacent lands.
Ongoing and future development in the vicinity of the interchange as well as the role of the
interchange as a `gateway' to Niagara -on- the -Lake, combined, with periodic congestion
associated with current traffic levels;. have prompted review of the interchange and the adjacent
road system.
The. Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is carrying out the detail design for the QEW at Sand
Plant Hill, which generally involves the widening of the- QEW from four lanes to six lanes
between Highway 405 and Mountain Road and the addition of auxiliary lanes between Glendale
Avenue and Highway. 405. This study also includes. minor modifications to the Glendale
Avenue entrance and exit ramps on the north side of the QEW. The MTO is also carrying out
a operational study for the QEW Glendale. Avenue interchange, which specifically addresses
the issue of vehicles entering the QEW from the Glendale Avenue eastbound entrance ramp
then crossing two through lanes to access Highway. 405 and the .long -term configuration of the
major diverge at Highway 405 andthe QEW.
The Regional Municipality of Niagara (Region of Niagara) is undertaking an Environmental
Assessment Study to address regional road needs at Glendale Avenue and York Road to
accommodate potential development.
The Town of Niagara -on -the -Lake recently completed the Glendale Area Gateway Study
(December 2002). In conjunction with the preparation of the traffic flow analysis of the
Glendale Avenue interchange, the Town of Niagara -on- the -Lake identified the need for a
landscaped gateway at this prominent location. The primary objectives of the study were as
follows:
To establish appropriate theme(s) for the Glendale Gateway Area;
To translate the themes into landscape and urban design elements; and
To develop urban design and landscape guidelines to provide the basis for the
implementation of the design elements.
MTO in partnership with the Region of Niagara convened a Value Engineering (VE) Workshop
to review the short-term to medium -term plans for the QEW Glendale Avenue interchange
area. Exhibit E -1 displays the study area of the QEW Glendale Avenue interchange area.
The aim of this review is to consider alternatives to the Ministry's current proposal and
evaluate these on the basis of their effectiveness relative. to their cost implications and overall
network performance. This workshop was designed to take a broad perspective in reviewing
the plans for the QEW Glendale Avenue area. Prior to the study, MTO and Region of
Niagara agreed that cost sharing would not be considered during the VE process.
At the VE workshop held in January 2003, VE network alternatives were identified by the
project team to meet various objectives, addressing both transportation and non transportation
issues. These objectives include:

efficient operation of the QEW Glendale Avenue interchange with minimal risk that
operations on the regional local road network will adversely affect the operation of the
QEW and Highway 405;
a clear and direct gateway to Niagara -on- the Lake;
a reasonable level of access to the Trivieri site, .currently served by the Old Glendale Road;
a high level of safety for all road users;
minimized adverse environmental implications; and
satisfactory response time for emergency services.
At the VE workshop, a preliminary screening of the VE network alternatives was undertaken to
determine which alternatives would be carried forward and reviewed through a detailed traffic
evaluation. The evaluation occurred after the VE workshop due to the time required to
undertake detailed. INTEGRATION modelling.
Two progress meetings (June 12, 2003 and :October :3, 2003) took place to review the detailed
traffic evaluation and determine the VE recommendations.
Based on the findings of VE workshop, the detailed traffic evaluation, and the discussions
at the June 12, 2003 and October 3, 2003 progress meetings, the VE study team identified
four VE network alternatives as the VE. recommendations. These alternatives will be
subject to further review in future studies. The VE network alternatives include:

The VE network alternatives listed above also include some of the improvements to the local
road network proposed by the current studies being carried out by the MTO and the Region of
Niagara. These improvements include the following:
Improvements to York Road and to northbound Glendale Avenue approaching York Road.
Extension of Glendale Avenue northwards to provide access to sites on adjacent lands.
New local roads and access points to provide access to sites assumed to be developed by
2011.
New traffic control signals expected to be in place by 2011 at Niagara College access at
Taylor Road, Airport Road at York Road, Niagara -on- the -Green access at Glendale Avenue
and White Oaks /Niagara -on- the Green access at Taylor Road.
The VE network alternatives also include improvements to the local road network as identified
during the detailed traffic evaluation carried out as part of the VE study. These improvements
include the following:
Widening of Glendale Avenue to four basic lanes plus turning lanes generally between York
Road and Homer Road.
Widening of Taylor Road to four basic lanes plus turning lanes generally between Homer
Road and Glendale Avenue.
Double left -turn lanes eastbound on Taylor Road at Glendale Avenue.
Although cost sharing was not considered by the VE study team during the study, one of the
next steps in a future study would be to initiate cost sharing discussions with the Region and the
Town of Niagara -on- the -Lake. Final cost sharing agreements would be dependent on final
recommendations of the preliminary design.

Bob
On Tuesday August 14, 2007, my eight year daughter Victoria Ferguson was
attacked by a viscous German Shepard dog on Bonnie street, Niagara Falls. She was
riding her bike down the sidewalk followed by her ten year old brother Austin and
cousins Alex and Eric. The dog ran across its owner's front yard ran around behind
Victoria, lunged at her and bit into her leg, ripping her shorts and leaving a deep gaping
wound The dog owner from #7070 who was nearby removed the dog. Austin rushed to
his sister's assistance but could not move her as she seemed to be in shock. So he quickly
instructed his cousins to bring her home, while he ran home screaming for me and my
husband, Allan. We rushed out to him, and then Victoria who was being brought home by
Alex and Eric. We carried Victoria inside where she collapsed on our landing and Allan
called 911 to dispatch an ambulance and the police, while I held her and tended to her. I
went with Victoria in the ambulance to Niagara hospital while Allan stayed to talk to the
police. Victoria's wound was about one inch deep and three inches across with massive
bruising around the area and required six large stitches in two areas.
When Allan went over to the dog owner's house with the police officers (incident
07- 81232), it appeared that the owners had abruptly taken off with the dog, their TV
had been left on and there were hot coffees on their porch. However, their next door
neighbour was there and told the police that a few months ago that same dog crashed
through the owner's front window and attacked his child. I myself had witnessed the
commotion after this incident. I saw the police and an animal van at the house with the
dog barking uncontrollably and I also saw the large smashed up front window. It seemed
as though the police and the Humane Society were taking care of the problem.
However, I couldn't be more wrong. Now even after my daughter being attacked,
the dog has been allowed to stay at #7070. The Humane Society did absolutely nothing to
resolve this serious issue. It took them two days to go over to the house, and I believe that
they only left a note for the owners to contact them. The police told me that they had
dispatched the human society and I had called the Humane Society many times to get a
follow up on what was being done. I only received rude discourteous attitudes from the
humane society and at one point while holding on the phone I overheard on their radio,
one of their officers actually whining and refusing to take an animal call. One person
even snapped at me, questioning me why I was calling them and who gave me the
information (even though it was city hall) that they should do something about the
incident. The phone attendant even sarcastically compared the viscous dog to a
(harmless) appliance.
In the mean time my children feel like they are under house arrest, they are too
afraid to go outside and I have to drive them to nearby friends and cousins. They are
having nightmares and keep thinking that this dog will crash through our window and
come after them again. They don't understand why the police, who are supposed to care
about children, have not done anything nor taken the dog away. Three weeks later now
school has started and children are walking and riding to school while this potential child
killer is waiting for its next opportunity to escape. Just this morning I myself saw the dog
again attempting to jump over its fence. The dog has proved to not be contained at its
residence. I will guarantee that that dog will attack again as soon as it has an opportunity
to and now it also has the taste of blood. In fact it actually has part of my daughter's
tissue in its digestive tracts. And why is this? This is not the first time that this has
happened. What region would allow this to happen to a child? Perhaps a third world area
would where children are neglected and abused. And this is exactly what this is. This is
abuse of my child. The system has failed my child and allowed her to be abused. To be
viscously attacked and have flesh ripped out of her by a known felon. And it is still
allowing it. The dog is still there and my children are still in fear. So, what is the system,
is there a system in place in the City of Niagara Falls? The police don't seem to know
what to do, the Humane Society are denying any duty in this and are pointing to the
bylaw department. If this is the Bylaw's responsibility, then is it City Hall who have not
taken care of this problem? The amount of phoning, footwork and follow up I have
carried out on this incident is unbelievable and has gone on for weeks. It also makes me
fear that others who have been attacked or their children attacked by dogs in this city
might have given up or simply had to carry on with their lives leaving a huge statistic of
viscous unmonitored and even unreported dogs in our neighbourhoods. Then there are
other repercussions to this; are people going to start carrying weapons on their persons to
protect themselves? Is this what the city is coming to? Why is it in this city, dogs seem to
have more liberty than people? As soon as there is an attack, why is the animal not
collected and held until a decision is made? This dog in particular is like a loaded weapon
waiting in its owner's house. Right now in this city of Niagara Falls, there are many
professionals who now know this. So right now it is being allowed. There are laws in
Ontario against this. Who in the City of Niagara Falls failing to acknowledge the law?
This dog is extremely dangerous; it has the ability to kill someone. I want it
declared viscous and on behalf of my children and for the protection of the residents and
visitors of Niagara Falls, I want the German Sheppard of #7070 Bonnie street
Euthanized.

September 1, 2007
City of Niagara Falls
To whom it may concern:
This is in regards to a recent attack of a vicious dog on our granddaughter,
Victoria Ferguson, while she was riding her bike along Bonnie St. in
Niagara Falls.
The fact that this dog still remains on Bonnie St. has prompted us to demand
that you do something before another child is attacked. That animal has
children terrified of going down Bonnie Street and not just our
grandchildren. As we were driving down Bonnie going to Water St., we
witnessed a child get off her bike as she neared 7070 Bonnie St.(house
where this dog lives). Her mother had already walked past the house with
her other child in a stroller and was calling to the little girl to join her. But
the little girl was visibly shaken and did not want to go past that house.
Now we are asking you what kind of neighbourhood is this where children
are afraid to go back and forth to their friends' and cousins' houses a block
apart) because of a vicious dog that has savagely attacked at least two
children. Stop dragging your feet and passing the buck and remove that dog
from this neighbourhood and do it now.
Sincerely,
Cheryl& Bill Ferguson

Also attached is NEDC's Audited Financial statement for 2006 pulled from the NEDC
website.
2) Why NEDC is set up as a Corporation
To meet the needs of the Region of Niagara, the Niagara Region Development
Corporation was created in 1982. In 1996 the Corporation was merged with the Region
Niagara Tourism Council to become the Niagara Economic and Tourism Corporation.
The name was changed in 2005 to the Niagara Economic Development Corporation.
In the September 1994 report entitled "Ad Hoc Committee on the Amalgamation of
Economic Development Functions "(Brian Merrett, Chairman) the conclusion reached
was:
A single corporate structure model could meet the terms of reference and provide
significant flexibility in adapting to changing industry needs and economic conditions.
A new, single corporate entity could pool the resources of, and bring a common vision
to two organizations, bring greater accountability and enhance `the importance of
private sector" involvement through the advisory role.
That report also references the Woods Gordon Report of February, 1980 which
recommended the establishment of a corporate entity called the Niagara Economic
Development Corporation. To quote "the consultants felt that such a corporation would
best meet the 8 criteria they established for implementing an economic development
strategy. Namely:
October 15, 2007 -3- BDD- 2007 -04
3) Local dealings with NEDC
Over the past year Business Development staff of the following municipalities; Niagara
Falls, St. Catharines, Welland, Fort Erie and Port Colborne which have business
development departments have held meetings with their respective CAO's and Mayor's
to discuss and establish a framework by which the business development office (BDO)
will work with NEDC. The intent of the meetings were to clarify the roles and
responsibilities between BDO NEDC and improve the level of cooperation and input
provided towards NEDC's programs. The framework established, provides opportunities
for collaboration and partnerships between the municipalities and NEDC. These
partnerships allow each municipality and NEDC to leverage limited resources in the
provision of efficient and effective business development services. During the above
consultative process between the municipalities and NEDC, Regional Council
requested their CEO to review the economic development function in Niagara. The
objective of the Region's CAO review was to address any real or perceived duplication
of functions and identify any potential efficiencies. The framework which was developed
by the Municipalities along with NEDC was shared with and has been incorporated into
the Regional CAO's report. The CAO's report (attached) was presented at Regional
Council on September 27, 2007 and was approved. Staff believes the framework
established and formalized by the Regional CAO's report creates a common
understanding between the BDO and NEDC to work together for the benefit of their
communities and the Region.

NIAGARA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
Notes to Financial Statements
Year ended December 31, 2006
The Niagara Economic Development Corporation is a non profit Corporation incorporated without
share capital under the laws of Ontario. The Corporation's mandate is to carry out activities to
advance the economic prosperity of the Niagara Community. The Corporation provides effective
innovative services to promote investment and visitation and provides business support services
to attract, maintain and increase jobs in Niagara.
1. Significant accounting policies:
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles.
(a) Accrual accounting:
Revenue and expenditure are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. The accrual
basis of accounting recognizes revenues as they become available and measurable;
expenditures are recognized as they are incurred and measurable as a result of receipt of
goods or services and the creation of legal obligation to pay.
(b) Revenue recognition:
The Corporation follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions.
Revenue from fees, contracts and sales of publications is recognized when the services are
provided or the goods are sold.
(c) Capital assets:
Purchased capital assets are recorded at cost. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged
to expense. Betterments which extend the estimated life of an asset are capitalized. When
a capital asset no longer contributes to the corporation's ability to provide services, its
carrying amount is written down to its residual value.
Capital assets are amortized on a straight -line basis using the following annual rates:
Computer equipment 33%
Furniture and fixtures 20%
Gateway video wall 20%

1. Significant accounting policies (continued):
(d) Vacation pay:
Vacation pay is accrued as entitlement to these payments is earned.
(e) Employee future benefits:
(f)
The Corporation has a multi employee pension plan covering its employees. The plan is a
defined benefit plan which specifies the amount of the retirement benefit to be received by
the employees based on the length of service and rates of pay. The cost of the plan is
recognized based on the contribution required to be made during each period.
The Corporation sponsors certain life insurance benefits for retired employees and extended
health and dental benefits for early retirees to age 65. The Corporation measures the cost of
its obligation based on its best estimate and accrues its obligation for these past retirement
employment benefits as the employees render the service.
Measurement uncertainty:
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the year. Actual results can differ from those estimates.

REPORT TO: Regional Chairman and Members of Council
SUBJECT: Review of the Economic Development and
Tourism Function in Niagara
RECOMMENDATIONS
CAO 10 -2007
September 27, 2007
That Regional Council adopts the following recommendations:
1. That Regional Council receive and support the principles outlined in the body of
this report which represent the understanding between the Niagara Economic
Development Corporation (NEDC) and Local Economic Development Offices.
2. That Regional Council direct staff through the Office of the CAO to provide
support to the NEDC Board of Directors to take a lead in the development of
key measures of performance for the Economic Development function by
making use of the Ontario Municipal CAO's Benchmarking Initiative (OMBI)
framework.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report presents the results of the review of the Economic Development and
Tourism function in Niagara that was initiated earlier this year.
The Economic Development Officers from Niagara Falls, Fort Erie, Port Colborne,
Welland, St. Catharines and NEDC have collaborated in establishing clarity on each of
their respective roles and responsibilities. This will formalize the spirit of cooperation
and collaboration that needs to exist if Economic Development and Tourism efforts in
Niagara are to be successful.
As part of the review some research into other models was undertaken in an effort to
better understand how other jurisdictions approach economic development activities.
The research indicated that there was no one single preferred model for economic
development. It also indicated that few, if any, two tier models had formalized roles and
responsibilities. Most of the models reviewed evolved over time to suit localized
circumstances.
1
REPORT
Economic Development Activities
The head of each of the Economic Development Agencies /Departments in Niagara have
worked together to come to a common understanding and consensus on their respective
roles and responsibilities. A summary of the outcomes of this work is included in
Appendices A and B for your reference.
The outcomes of this work have been formalized into a set of key statements that
establish a framework that are rooted in a set of common principles that have been
endorsed by each of the Economic Development Officers. In addition, the Mayor's of
municipalities with Economic Development Officers and a steering team of CAO's have
had opportunities to provide input.
The common principles are:
Economic Development efforts are designed to optimize our collective investment
across Niagara
Communication and regular 2 -way input into planning efforts related to Economic
Development are critical to good working relationships and successful outcomes.
Programs are developed with a focus on the single taxpayer (partnering and
rationalization of effort)
Accountability requires the establishment of measurable targets and reporting of
those results.
In an effort to create a common understanding the purpose of the following agreed upon
statements is to establish and formalize the framework whereby municipalities EDO offices
and NEDC will continue to work together for the benefit of their communities and Region of
Niagara in terms of the full spectrum economic development success. In addition, these
statements will ensure an effective level of economic development service delivery at both
the municipal and regional levels of government that clarifies and strengthens the ongoing
relationship among the parties.
Statement 1
The Region of Niagara is comprised of twelve (12) municipalities, five of which have full
time economic development offices. Seven municipalities do not currently have
permanent economic development departments. The EDOs and NEDC work to create an
environment conducive to business development and investment. The economic
development capability of the five municipalities provides opportunities for collaboration
and partnership between municipalities and NEDC. These partnerships allow each
municipality and NEDC to leverage limited resources in the provision of efficient and high
quality economic development service. In the other seven communities, NEDC makes
available the full range of economic development services.

CAO 10 -2007
September 27, 2007
Deliverables
1. Queen's Park Planning /Priorities Events (e.g. Niagara Week Queen's Park)
2. Ongoing Lobbying of Provincial /Federal Govemments
3. Federal/Provincial funding grant applications and subsequent contract delivery
4. Press releases /communications must explicitly acknowledge each participating
partner
Statement 6
Market Intelligence and Research
NEDC will provide comprehensive research on all aspects of the regional, and where
appropriate, the Provincial, National, and global economies including demographics,
statistics, trends, etc. The five municipal partners will provide local research input to
NEDC and facilitate access to local businesses for research purposes. In addition, NEDC
will purchase or create comprehensive datasets deemed to be relevant to the delivery of
economic development services. Research will be shared among all organizations
(including municipalities without dedicated EDO's) as requested and legally allowed.
Deliverables
1. NEDC to purchase and /or conduct yearly relevant stats /market intelligence as
determined
2. Strategic industry analysis (e.g. Automotive, logistics, etc.)
Statement 7
Business Retention and Expansion (BR &E)
NEDC makes available BR E services to municipalities without an EDO. The EDOs will
be responsible for BR E (corporate calling) within their own jurisdictions. Partnership
and collaboration on various initiatives and strategies relating to the advancement of BR
E will be pursued among the EDOs with NEDC being invited to work on specific projects
with the local economic development office.
Deliverables
1. Information will be shared between NEDC and the respective EDO's on BR &E
initiatives within specific industries
2. Should NEDC become aware of any local business retention and expansion issues
it will immediately advise and engage the local EDO.

CAO 10 -2007
September 27, 2007
CAO 10 -2007
September 27, 2007
Through these discussions the approach to a regional tourism strategy that would allow for
better leveraging of existing tourism and marketing investments across the region has
been noted. A Tourism Strategy 2006 -2012 for Niagara has been developed by
Destination Marking Organizations (DMO's) across Niagara. This strategy and action
plan was developed last year based upon the results of the Ontario Ministry's Premier
Ranked Process which involved the tourism industry in Niagara doing a complete
SWOT analysis. It is framed as the Destination Development initiative, which includes a
Steering Committee and four committees made up of DMO and industry representatives
who are working together to implement the plan, and seek opportunities to improve the
framework.
One possible area of overlap was identified at the Niagara Gateway Centre in Grimsby.
Both NEDC and the Town of Grimsby, through the Chamber of Commerce, have
individual presence in the centre. At the Niagara Gateway Centre, Tourism and
Promotion is handled for Grimsby specifically by the Grimsby and District Chamber of
Commerce and for NEDC by Tourism Niagara. An impression has existed that since
both were located in the very same area that duplication of service may exist.
On September 5, 2007 senior representatives of NEDC, Grimsby and District Chamber
of Commerce, Tourism Niagara and the Town of Grimsby met to discuss this situation.
From the discussions we had it was determined that each of Niagara Tourism and the
Chamber have their separate and distinct audiences for the tourism and promotion
services they offer.
Tourism Niagara represents the entire Region and provides services such as one stop
attraction ticket purchasing, hotel reservation and attraction advice in the Niagara area.
The Chamber on the other hand ensures the interests of chamber of commerce
members are attended to as well as providing the specifics of information for the Town
of Grimsby through a partnership arrangement.
It was evident that each provider compliments the other and there is sharing of
information and resources and that in the end analysis both work to ensure the traveler
gets a very good impression of both Grimsby and Niagara.
While, it is acknowledged there may be a cost associated with both these operations,
the parties agree that there are positive (but non quantifiable) public relations and
promotion benefits that result from this cost.
Research of Other Economic Development Models
The research on other models of economic development, while valuable as background
information, has not yielded a single best model. A summary of some of the jurisdictions
considered is contained within Appendix A. Below is a summary of the key points from
this research.

Re: HR- 2007 -11
CAO By -law and Job Description
RECOMMENDATION:
For the information of Council, the revised CAO By -law and job description.
BACKGROUND:
At the June 11 meeting, the HR Committee reviewed and approved revisions to the
C.A.O. By -law that updated the role and responsibilities of the Chief Administrative Officer.
The previous CAO By -law had not been revised since 1966.
While largely used for internal job evaluation purposes, the job description closely
resembles the responsibilities described in the proposed By -law. However, the job
description provides additional details on reporting relationships (in accordance with the
organizational chart) and the necessary qualifications and experience required for the
position.
This CAO job description and By -law will help in determining the appropriate leadership
competencies necessary for the incumbent and the future recruitment of the position. The
By -law also provides a framework for managing the CAO's performance. At it's September
24 2007 meeting, the Human Resource Committee discussed the possibility of
developing a new performance evaluation system and process for the Chief Administrative
Officer. However, further discussion and review of best practices is necessary before
recommendations can be brought forth to Council.

Re: FS- 2007 -05
Emergency Operations Centre Equipment
That Council approves the purchase of equipment for the Emergency Operations Centre
at Fire Station 1 from Design Electronics for $102,600.00.
The Ontario Emergency Management Act (2004) mandates communities to have an
emergency management plan that includes facilities and technology to
accommodate emergency operations. The Act stipulates;
"13. (1) Every municipality shall establish an emergency operations centre to
be used by the municipal emergency control group in an emergency. Reg.
380/04, s. 13 (1).
(2) The emergency operations centre must have appropriate technological and
telecommunications systems to ensure effective communication in an
emergency. O. Reg. 380/04, s. 13 (2)."
The Fire Chief and two Assistant Chiefs have been designated to act as the Community
Emergency Management Coordinators (CEMC) for Niagara Falls. CEMC responsibilities
include the oversight of equipment and facilities improvements relating to emergency
management activities.
After a significant building addition at Fire Station 1, renovations were undertaken on the
main building enhancing training rooms, staff and washroom areas. The framework for an
Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) facility was in place. The required audio /visual
equipment had yet to be designed or purchased.

The design and layout of the EOC were completed in conjunction with Design Electronics
in 2006. A successful application was subsequently made to the federal Joint Emergency
Preparedness Program (JEPP) fora grant to equip the Emergency Operations Centre. The
federal portion of this project is $33,049.62 which was approved based on a $97,919.20
project estimate.
The tender process was undertaken through Supply and Services and three bids were
received;
Advanced Presentation Products

Applied Electronics Limited
The decision to award the work was discusse with the Manager of Supply and Services
after an evaluative process was undertaken Inforr ion Sery a'-s.

Subject: EOC Quotes
Lee,
I reviewed the 3 bids with Jim and found the following differences between the Design bid and the Advanced bid.
Across the board the equipment that Advanced quoted for us was of cheaper quality. The projectors that they quoted are
being discontinued. On pretty much every item we could get pricing on the stuff they quoted costs less. I would be
concerned that we would be purchasing technology from them that is sort of dated.
We didn't note any computer on the Advanced quote, though one was required in the spec. Design did provide one.
The spec required that the winning bid be able to provide "loaner" equipment in case of failure. The Advanced bid indicated
that they may not be able to do so. Design indicated that they would.
In the spec we were looking for an hour response time. Design has agreed to provide that, wheras, Advanced has given us a
4 hour window. Being that this equipment is being purchased for an Emergency Operations Center, we would want the
fastest response time possible.
It just seems to me that Advanced cut a lot of corners to secure the bid. The difference was $8,000.00 between the bids, but
pretty much all of that was due to cheaper equipment quoted by Advanced. With that in mind and the sketchy response to
service on the equipment; I would advise against the Advanced bid.

School Signing Policy
RECOMMENDATIONS:
For the information of Council.
BACKGROUND:
Niag araJ
CAINADA
Staff carried out a review to determine the feasibility of replacing all existing blue /white
school signs with the chartreuse (fluorescent green /yellow) style that is also present within
the City's limits. The signs
include "School Area" signs,
"School Crossing" signs, and
"School Crossing Ahead" signs.
A comparison of the two sign
types is shown.
"School Area" signs are intended
to provide advance warning to
road users that they are
approaching a school area and to
exercise caution while
proceeding. "School Crossing"
signs are installed only at
locations supervised by a school
crossing guard. "School Crossing Ahead" signs are installed in advance of these locations
facing approaching traffic. With the advent of the blue /white tourism signs that have been
adopted throughout the province, the above referenced school signs have become Tess
conspicuous. The brighter fluorescent signs have been well received by the public and
school administrators.

TS- 2007 -01
In the past several years, municipalities and regions in Ontario have begun experimenting
with the chartreuse signs. Our research indicates that the change was initiated by the
National Committee on Uniform Traffic Control under the direction of the
Transportation Association of Canada. The change was documented in its Manual of
Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Canada, Fourth Edition, September 1998.
The information contained in the Canadian manual reflects desirable conditions for safe
and effective traffic control but should not be interpreted as recommended design
standards. With the exception of roads maintained by the Government of Canada (such
as the Trans Canada Highway), the provincial government is responsible in the legislation
pertaining to all roads in their boundaries. The highest legislative authority that all
motorists must abide by in the province is the Highway Traffic Act of Ontario. The Ontario
Traffic Manual, a series of booklets published by the Ministry of Transportation covering
the sphere of traffic control devices is an accompanying set of guidelines that build upon
the legislation and provides best practice in Ontario. There is no reference in the Ontario
Traffic Manuals with respect to chartreuse signs. The signs are not regulated by the
Highway Traffic Act (H.T.A.) given that the signs are warning in nature. Thus, there are no
legal requirements for these signs. To date, no decision has been made by the Ministry
of Transportation to officially adopt the chartreuse signs for regular use or even for optional
use within the province of Ontario.
The Regional Municipality of Niagara is one jurisdiction that began replacing the standard
blue /white signs with the chartreuse /black signs and formally adopted the change in 1998.
When several roadways were transferred from the Region to the City in 2001, the signs at
various school crossing locations along Regional roads had already been replaced with the
chartreuse /black version. Some City roads which were formerly Regional roads where
these chartreuse signs are present include Dorchester Road, Drummond Road, Dunn
Street and Morrison Street. There are 78 total school related chartreuse signs on these
former Regional roads. As a result, the City has a mix of blue /white and chartreuse /black
school signs. The vast majority of municipalities in the Greater Golden Horseshoe have
changed over and exclusively install the chartreuse signs. These include the Cities of
Burlington, Mississauga, Guelph, St. Catharines, Oakville and Hamilton. All municipalities
within the Niagara Region exclusively use the chartreuse signs.
The exception for the use of the chartreuse signs would be at those locations where the
speed limit is reduced in school areas. In these instances, conformity with the Highway
Traffic Act necessitates the use of the blue /white signs.
The cost to replace each of the existing 216 blue and white signs to the chartreuse style
is estimated at $28,000, of which half is for staff /labour costs. The cost of each chartreuse
sign is approximately 2.5 times greater than that of the regular blue /white signs. Although
the signs maintain the same dimensions, the chartreuse sign contains diamond grade
sheeting, which intensifies the reflectivity of the sign at night and during twilight and
overcast conditions.
October 15, 2007
To maintain consistency throughout the Region, Staff is recommending that all school
related signs used within the City boundaries be exclusively chartreuse in colour. To
reduce the budgetary impact, the signs will be replaced over a three -year period at a cost
of $10,000.00 per year. Funding will be included in the annual operating budget over the
three -year period.

Beaverdams Road Safety Assessment
Consultant Selection
Beaverdams Road extends between Lundy's Lane and Thorold Townline within the City
of Niagara Falls. The adjacent land use is primarily residential between Lundy's Lane and
Kalar Road, and agriculture /rural west of Kalar Road to the city limit. The rural section is
approximately 4 km. in length, has a two -lane cross section with gravel shoulders and a
curvilinear alignment.
Within the past several years traffic studies have been carried out at various locations on
Beaverdams Road, resulting in modifications to traffic control devices. However, the
additional traffic control devices have not significantly reduced the collision frequency.
Within the past 5 years, two fatalities have occurred involving single motor vehicle
collisions, which is the predominant type of collision on the road sections. Therefore, to
further assess potential improvements, it is suggested that a comprehensive safety
assessment be carried out along the entire length of Beaverdams Road between Kalar
Road and Thorold Townline. The assessment will identify operational and safety
performance issues of the entire roadway, opportunities for improvement, and an
implementation program for short term and long term treatments.
Synectics specializes in safety assessments, and has prepared such reports for various
municipalities including the Region of Niagara. Staff will be requesting Synectics to carry
out the safety assessment of Beaverdams Road at a cost of $13,377.00 as per their
submitted proposal. Funding has been allocated in the 2007 budget.

Re: R -2007- 27- Chippawa Boat Ramp Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City of Niagara Falls enter into a renewal license agreement with the Ontario
Power Generation Inc. for the Chippawa Boat Ramp and that the Mayor and Clerk be
authorized to sign the agreement.
The City originally entered into a license agreement with Ontario Power Generation for the
recreational uses of the Chippawa Boat Ramp Park in June 1994. The park consists of
2.34 acres with a boat ramp, a parking lot (25 trailer /car spaces and eleven single vehicle
spaces), as well as a small grassed area. There is also room for future boat ramp
expansion.
The Chippawa Boat Ramp is a popular community recreation amenity providing
recreational boating on the Welland River and is a primary access point to the Niagara
River and into Lake Erie. The boat ramp is used extensively from mid May until mid
October each year.
The new term for the Chippawa Boat Ramp Park Agreement commenced on January 1,
2007, and will terminate on December 31, 2012.

Sylvia Place Market Feasibility Study
RECOMMENDATION:
BACKGROUND:
Niagaraf1alls
C A N A D A
That Council authorize the execution of an agreement with Urban Marketing Collaborative
to prepare a Market Feasibility Study for Sylvia Place Market.
Early in 2007, the Community Improvement Plan (CIP) for Historic Drummondville was
approved and included a number of recommendations including the preparation of a
Market Feasibility Study for Sylvia Place Market. The vision highlighted in the CIP was to
redevelop the Sylvia Place Market as a "Vintners Marketplace" with new programming and
high profile uses to attract tourists and local shoppers to a unique shopping experience.
A Request for Proposals was sent out to 12 consulting firms. Proposals were received
from 2 firms. It is recommended that Urban Marketing Collaborative carry out the work.
Urban Marketing Collaborative has teamed up with IBI Group and Bob Usher from the
London Covent Garden Market to form a strong team with extensive experience in studying
markets throughout North America. The budget for the completion of the Feasibility Study
is $40,000, inclusive of disbursements and taxes, and is included in the 2007 Budget. A
legal agreement is required with the consultant.
The study will occur in two phases with the first phase involving a fact finding step by
assessing the current operations and researching the market's trade area. The consultants
will host an assessment workshop and a public meeting to highlight their findings and
obtain public input. The second phase of the study will involve the preparation of a
detailed strategy and action plan looking at a desired tenant mix, products, design /layout,
marketing, management structure, site concept plan and preliminary costing for the project.
