BACKGROUND: Proposal Thundering Waters Developments Inc. has submitted an application for the conversion of approximately 252 hectares (622 acres) of vacant lands by redesignating the lands from Industrial and Open Space in the Official Plan to Residential and Environmental Protection Area (EPA). The Open Space lands previously formed part of the Thundering Waters Golf Course. The requested amendment is the first step towards the ultimate development of the site for a wide variety of residential dwelling units (3000 to 3600 units), commercial and institutional uses, and preserved open space areas for passive and active recreational uses, including trails. Prior to any development, the lands will be subject to a Secondary Plan that will detail land use designations, protected natural areas, phasing of development, servicing, road patterns, urban design and development densities. The Secondary Plan will be a publ_ieprocess that will be approved through an amendment to the Official Plan. i10Queen,Street Ft0 Box 1023, Niagara'FaIIs, :2E.6X5 905 35b 7521 wwwrniagarafallsca, Working Together to Serve Our Community Community Services Department Planning Development April 14, 2008 R- 2008 -16 His Worship Mayor Ted Salci iagarajl and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Members: Re: R- 2008 -16 Boys Girls Club Site Review RECOMMENDATION: That Council provide direction regarding the site selection process and review of alternative sites for the Boys Girls Club of Niagara. Thatothe McLeod Road site be approved for the futuree Boys GirlsClub BACKGROUND: On March 17, 2008, Council directed staff to bring back a report looking at alternative sites for the Boys Girls Club of Niagara, including the originally proposed McLeod Road site, and the costs and funding involved. On March 31, 2008, staff met with representatives of the Boys Girls Club of Niagara. At this meeting the general process that would be expected to allow for an expanded site review was outlined as a next step approach. The anticipated time lines needed to undertake analysis of expanded alternative sites beyond those evaluated by the consultants, could include using a request for proposal (RFP) process. Staff anticipated the expanded review process could be up to eight months. Specific to the statements that McLeod Road site is 'shovel ready' an overview of the site related needs were noted. The April 4, 2005, Report (PD- 2005 -22) to rezone the McLeod Road site for institutional use was provided. This report is attached. Staff was advised that the Boys Girls Club of Niagara has requested a deputation for April 14, 2008. At this meeting they will be requesting that the McLeod Road site be the approved site and no additional site review be undertaken. 10 Qu S treet, P0,l3ox 1 6g 1023, Nia ar ON,Canada L2E�6X5 -:905 356- 7521„ wwwniagaratalls.ca ua=r r Working Together to Serve Our Community Community Services Department Parks, Recreation Culture April 14, 2008 R- 2008 -16 The $75,000 consulting report, paid for by the City of Niagara Falls, titled the "Proposed New Boys Girls Club Feasibility Study, May 8, 2007" report included the assessment and scoring of four sites and "the following are the preferred sites in order of ranking" Rank Site Rating 1 Site D Ker Park 73 2 Site C Palmer Park 66 3 Site B A.G.

P. Panici Architect Inc. McLeod Road (South Side), East of Garner Road RECOMMENDATION: The recommendation(s) contained in this report were adopted by City Council 1) Council approve the Zoning By -law amendment application as detailed in this report to allow a recreational facility on a portion of the site and to protect a Provincially Significant Wetland on the balance of the land; and 2) the amending by -law either not be passed until servicing is available or a "Holding" provision be included for the Institutional (I) zone portion of the site which is to be removed when approvals are received for sanitary and stormwater servicing. BACKGROUND: The amendment is requested for 3.2 hectares (7.9 acres) of land on the south side of McLeod Road, east of Garner Road, as shown on Schedule 1. The parcel is proposed to be developed with a recreational facility (approximately4,260 square metres /45,850 square feet in size) for the Boys and Girls Club of Niagara. Details of the proposed development are shown on the preliminary site plan (Schedule 2). The land is currently zoned Development Holding (DH). The applicant has requested a site specific Institutional (I) zoning on the north portion of the site and Environmental Protection Area (EPA) zoning on the south portion of the parcel corresponding to a Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW). Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks Finance Human Resources Information Systems Legal Planning Development PD- 2005.22 Doug Darbyson Director April 4, 2005 2 PD- 2005 -22 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: Municipal Works A 3.05 metre (10 foot) road widening and sidewalks are required along McLeod Road. Water service is available. Additional information is required from the applicant's engineer regarding possible sanitary and stormwater servicing for the project. Parks, Recreation Culture The site is forested and ranked high in the City's Urban Woodlot Study. No objections provided the building and parking areas are situated to minimize environmental impacts on the wooded areas. Regional Planning Development The land is subject to the Region's Tree Conservation By -law and a tree saving plan will be required. The recommendations of the submitted Environmental Impact Study are to be implemented including provision of a minimum 15 metre (49.2 foot) building setback from the PSW boundary and protective measures during construction. The PSW should be zoned EPA. Stormwater management will be required. Planning Review Various matters were considered in assessing the application. Based on this analysis, approval is recommended. The review of the amendment is sununarized as follows: 1. The proposal complies with the policies of the Official Plan and Garner Neighbourhood Secondary Plan. The City's Official Plan designates the land Residential which permits a variety of housing types and compatible ancillary uses including recreational facilities. There is a new residential subdivision and secondary school to the north and a church and special institutional use will be constructed in the future on the north side of McLeod Road. A small industrial use, residence and vacant land are located to the west. Land to the south and east contains wooded areas and cultivated fields that are designated for future residential development. The recreational use would be compatible with the existing and future surrounding uses. The proposal is also consistent with the policies of the Garner Neighbourhood Secondary Plan. The development includes the protection of the PSW and provides greater opportunities to preserve existing trees on the north part of the site compared to typical residential subdivision lotting. Furthermore, the Garner Plan supports such a project on McLeod Road (arterial) which is accessible to the community, on a transit route and minimizes individual driveway entrances onto this high traffic roadway. April 4, 2005 3 PD- 2005.22 2. The requested amendment, with a possible "Holding" provision, is appropriate. The initial proposal has been revised in response to issues identified through the preliminary review process. The development complies with the standard provisions of the Institutional (I) zone. The number of parking spaces provided exceeds municipal requirements, and in addition, the applicant states that many of the children would arrive and depart by shuttle bus. The implementing zoning by -law will reflect the submitted site design and provide the required minimum 15 metre (49.2 foot) building setback from the boundary of the Provincially Significant Wetland. Development is prohibited in this PSW which will be zoned Environmental Protection Area. There are currently no sanitary or stormwater services available for land south of McLeod Road in this area. The existing sanitary sewer system and stormwater management facility north of McLeod Road were not designed to accommodate this development. The applicant must examine servicing options and would be responsible for all costs associated with any studies and possible temporary works. Development is considered premature where existing services are inadequate unless measures addressing the servicing deficiency are approved to the satisfaction of the City, Region and Ministry of the Environment. In this regard, passage of the zoning by -law could be deferred until these services are available. Altematively, the zoning by -law could include a "Holding" provision for the Institutional zone as permitted under the Planning Act and be passed before the servicing studies are completed. This "H" designation will be removed when sanitary and stormwater systems are approved. 3. Additional Planning Act approvals will be necessary. The proposed Boys and Girls Club site is part of a larger property (approximately 37.6 hectares /93 acres) on the south side of McLeod Road and needs to be separated from the balance of the land. This will require two severance applications one for the subject site and one for a 0.81 hectare (2 acre) parcel at the southeast comer of McLeod Road and Garner Road that would result. The corner site is an appropriate size to allow for future development. The portion of the parcel containing the Provincially Significant Wetland is to remain in private ownership and the use of a "conservation easement" for this area will be reconunended at the severance stage. This easement is a document and associated Reference Plan registered on title between the landowner and the City that provides protection for the environmentally sensitive features on the property. Conservation easements are being applied to lands through the municipality. The development is subject to site plan control to address items such as landscaping, parking/driveway areas and fencing. A narrow landscaping strip is shown along McLeod Road on the preliminary plan whereas recent developments on arterial roads have been providing a larger open space buffer (6 metres /19.69 feet). The applicant indicates that additional landscaping width is not feasible from their perspective due to the road widening, building design, front driveway lanes and PSW rear yard setback constraints. More intensive landscaping or tree planting may be appropriate in this area. The length of the parking stalls shown on the submitted plan need to be increased to comply with City standards sufficient space appears to be available to acconunodate this requirement. Sidewalks are to be constructed on both sides of McLeod Road in the future to allow pedestrian linkages throughout the neighbourhood. April 4, 2005 4 PD-2005-22 CONCLUSION: The requested site specific amendment complies with the policies of the Official Plan and Gamer Neighbourhood Secondary Plan. The development abutting the Provincially Significant Wetland will provide mitigation measures accepted by the Region. Additional approval for severances and a site plan agreement will be necessary including registration of a conservation easement on the PSW area. Sanitary and stormwater servicing issues must be addressed before the development can proceed. The application is recommended for approval.

File: D.10,M,11.23 This amendment proposes the rezoning of a vacant 32 hectare (8 acre) parcel of land to permit the construction of a 4,260 square metre (45,850 square foot) building for the Boys and Girls Club of Niagara. The building will accommodate athletic facilities: two gyms and a swimming pool, plus several meeting rooms and offices. 134 parking spaces including 8 handicapped spaces are to be provided. These lands are located within the Regional Urban Areas Boundaries for Niagara Falls, The City's Official Plan designates the site as 'Residential As a use, the Boys and Girls Club would conform with both Plans. in addition, the Club would provide valuable community facilities for the youth of Niagara Fails. Therefore, Regional Planning staff support the establishment of the Club facilities from a general land use perspective. The southern portion of the parcel contains a Provincially Significant Wetland as identified by the Ministry of Natural Resources. As a result, the proposed development must be designed so that it will not adversely affect the Wetland. L. Campbell Associates prepared an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) dated July 2004 to evaluate the Wetland and to recommend mitigation measures. Regional Planning staff reviewed the EIS and provided comments to the applicant's architect. A copy of those comments is attached. In our comments on the EIS, we recommended that the Provincially Significant Wetland be zoned Environmental Protection Area (EPA) and that a 15 -metre buffer area be provided between the development (building and parking areas) and the Wetland: The buffer area should be zoned EPA and /or with a setback provision in the zoning for the Club. Although the details of the proposed zoning amendment have not been circulated to the Region, the application Indicates that the amendment will zone the northern two-thirds of the parcel as Institutional (I) for the Club and the remainder as EPA. This appears to be consistent with our recommendations. The proposed development wil! also affect the flow of stormwater towards the Wetland. The stormwater management measures should be designed so that post development flow rates to 9w Planning .OT ry Scanned F110 owi1l(ti its P.6 RECEIVED MAR. 2 9 2005 PLANNING DEVELOP ENT the Wetlands mimic the predevelopment conditions. Maintenance of such flows will be critical to the survival of the Wetland. The wooded area extends beyond the Provincially Significant Wetland into the development area. The Regional Tree Conservation By -law would apply to the woodlands on the property. A tree saving plan should be provided to the Region and approved by the City through a site plan agreement prior to the removal of trees. We would encourage the preservation of trees within the buffer area adjacent to the Wetland. In conclusion, Regional Planning staff are not opposed to the proposed rezoning provided the provisions of the zoning by -law protect the Provincially Significant Wetland. We would appreciate an opportunity to review the stormwater management plan, either by itself or as part of the site plan approval process. We may request the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority to review the stormwater management plan on our behalf. Yours truly, "David J.

City of Niagara Falls File; D.10.M.11.27 Thank you for providing us with a copy of the Environmental impact Study (EIS) prepared by L. Campbell Associates dated July 2004 for the above referenced project, The following comments are provided for your consideration. Natural heritage features were previously confirmed through the Wan Creek Watershed Master plan. The front section of the site planned for development Includes a wooded area on the west side and an open field on the east side, A Provincially significant wetland has been identified by the Ministry of Natural Resources in the southern portion of the property (approximately 90 metres south of McLeod Road) that forms part of the Warren Creek Wetland Complex. The weltand Includes a mature deciduous swamp that has a natural connection to woodlands to the west and wetlands/woodlands much further south, Provincial policies do not permit development within a Provincially significant wetland. Development on adjacent lands (within 120 metres) Is allowed where It can be °demonstrated that there will be no negative Impacts on the natural features or on the ecological functions for which the area Is identified." Protection of the woodlot is recommended through limited tree removal within the development area, north of the Provincially significant wetland. The Region's Tree Conservation By -law applies to the woodlands on the property. A tree saving plan should be provided to the Region and approved by the City through a site plan agreement prior to the removal of trees. Trees should be preserved 'within a buffer area adjacent to the wetland boundary and near the front and /or west side of the property, where possible. An application for a "minor exception° may be necessary If trees are planned to be removed In the interim. The owners should contact Vince Goldsworthy (984 3630, ext. 3381) in the Regional Planning and Development Department for more information in this regard. Drainage and stormwater management are critical to the survival of the Provincially significant wetland. The woodlands in this area of Niagara are generally oak forests containing pools or sloughs. Wetland species found in these woodlands require moist conditions. The natural drainage direction is to the south toward the wetland. Although the EIS proposes that post 2 development rates mimic predevelopment conditions, the stormwater management report submitted with the study indicates that volumes will be decreased. More details should, therefore, be provided at the site plan stage to address this matter. Sedimentation and erosion controls will provide further benefits for water quality. The provision of a buffer between the development and the wetland is an important mitigation measure. The EIS notes that a 30 metre setback is generally recommended, however, In this instance a 10 metre setback may be sufficient if vegetation is maintained. Since the building is proposed at this setback line, construction activities (Le. movement of equipment, grading) will result in the loss of natural vegetation in the buffer. Further, the limit of work fence recommended at the 10 metre setback would not be appropriate unless the buffer is wider. in this regard, we would recommend that the buffer be increased to a width of 15 metres to maintain greater natural vegetation, edge habitat and water quality to protect ecological functions associated with the wetland. This would also be more consistent with mitigation measures suggested in the EIS. We understand that you have submitted an application to the City of Niagara Falls Planning and Development Department to rezone these lands to permit the proposed Boys Girls Club complex. The area that contains Provincially significant wetlands should be zoned as an "Environmental Protection Area" to prohibit development as required under the Provincial Policy Statement. The recommended 15 metre buffer should also be zoned as part of the Environmental Protection Area or described In the adjacent zone as a building setback/buffer. Development is not permitted within the wetland area or the recommended buffer area, however, walking trails may be acceptable provided that further Information is submitted to demonstrate that no detrimental impacts on natural features or ecological functions will. result.

City of Niagara Falls Proposed New Boys Girls Club Facility Feasibility Study May 8, 2007 ii Executive Summary A. Overview Increasing pressures and program demands placed upon the Boys Girls Club of Niagara's (BGCN) aging and antiquated facility on Culp Street (built in 1960) has led the organization to seek the development of a new facility as a means to meet current and future needs. The BGCN has requested a capital contribution from the City of Niagara Falls of up to $5 million towards the construction of a new centre, which is currently proposed at 41,000 square feet and to include an indoor 25 -metre 6 -lane pool, gymnasium, licensed child care space, program rooms, and support space. The City recognizes that the Boys Girls Club facility on Culp Street is not sustainable over the long -term in its present condition. Approval of this request could, however, have a substantial impact on the City's budget since it is not included or contemplated in the 5 -year Capital Plan; there are no other sources for the City's funding component except for the municipal tax base. The City of Niagara Falls has commissioned this Study to examine the need, feasibility, and location options associated with the BGCN proposal. A New Facility Project Review Committee consisting of representatives from both the City of Niagara Falls and the Boys Girls Club was established to complete a comprehensive and integrated review of the proposal for a new facility for the Club, in cooperation with the Consultants. Once received by City Council, it is anticipated that this study will serve as a resource to the City of Niagara Falls when it makes its recommendation pertaining to the Boys Girls Club of Niagara's capital contribution request. B. Key Study Considerations Findings a) The City of Niagara Falls embraces a model of community development in the provision of recreational facilities and programs. The development and strengthening of community partnerships such as its relationship with the BGCN is a strong focus of the City's Recreation and Culture Department. b) At present, the City provides the BGCN with an annual grant of approximately $210,000 to assist with the Club's operating costs, as well as free service for the BGCN's transportation fleet. This is the largest annual contribution that the City provides to any organization on an ongoing basis. c) In September 2005, the City opened the MacBain Community Centre in partnership with various service providers, not the least of which is the YMCA. This state -of- the -art recreational facility houses an indoor aquatic centre, fitness areas, track, triple gymnasium, multi- purpose rooms, library, and leased office space. The facility which is programmed and operated by the YMCA represents a significant capital investment for the City as well as a significant enhancement of services in the City. In addition to a wide array of member services, access to recreational swim time, swimming lessons, and drop -in programs are offered to the general public at reasonable rates. Community response to the YMCA has been very favourable, with membership growing by 513% over its previous location. City of Niagara Falls Proposed New Boys Girls Club Facility Feasibility Study May 8, 2007 d) The City is set to experience modest population growth over the next ten years, with slightly greater growth anticipated beyond 2016. The number of children and youth {the cohorts most likely to use the Boys Girls Club facility), however, is currently in decline (by 8% between 2001 and 2011), but Is expected to stabilize beyond 2011. As such, the local market for the Boys Girls Club of Niagara and other youth-oriented leisure providers is currently at a peak. e) The high proportion of service sector jobs, middle- income earners, and lone parent families in Niagara Falls suggest that affordability of recreation services, the adequate provision of day care, and accessible locations should be key considerations in meeting local needs. f) Youth membership at the Boys Girls Club of Niagara has steadily grown since 2000 a growth of 63% over the past six years. Membership was generally unaffected by the opening of the MacBain Community Centre in September 2005. Overall registrations for BGCN sport and recreation programs, however, decreased by 12% between 2005 and 2006, although they are rebounding during the latest registration period. Based on the household survey data, membership at a new BGCN facility is projected to range from 2,753 to 3,042 if it were built today to the expectations of its potential users. Similarly, for programs in the areas of aquatics, sport/leisure, and leadership, it is estimated that annual program participation could range from approximately 3,060 to 3,740 total registrations. Given the City's population forecasts, there is no evidence to suggest that these membership projections will increase beyond these levels for the foreseeable future. Demand for aquatic programming appears to be generally met through the existing facilities in the community and little growth is projected in this market, unless users decide to leave their existing facility /program in favour of the BGCN. g) The most significant increases in space between the BGCN's existing facility (including its leased space) and the proposed facility are the indoor pool, pre school centre, and ancillary and support spaces. h) The City's Strategic Plan for the Provision of Parks Recreation Arts and Culture indicates that there is a "possible need" for additional indoor aquatic facilities based on the fact that existing facilities do not provide the full range of opportunities for competitive swimming and health /therapeutic services. The Strategic Plan recommends that the City undertake additional study in this area in the future. i) Regarding the operating levels and swimming lesson capacities of local indoor pools the existing BGCN and YMCA pools are collectively operating at approximately 52% capacity (70% and 41 respectively). 1! one of the pools were eliminated, it is likely that many users would move to the remaining pool, causing it to approach or reach capacity, in which case there would be significant pressure for additional aquatic facilities in the City. As such, there is sufficient justification for BGCN to retain its role in aquatics programming. j) Indoor aquatic facility operating costs are significant and most pools of the type contemplated for the BGCN (i.e., a 6 -lane, 25 -metre pool) run at a substantial deficit. By downsizing to a 20 -metre leisure concept pool, all programming contemplated by the City of Niagara Falls Proposed New Boys Olds Club Facility Feasibility Study May 8, 2007 iv Boys Girls Club could still be accommodated and the Club could save as much as $102,000 per year in operating costs. Furthermore the capital cost differential would potentially be reduced by approximately $1.05 million dollars if the Club were to build a smaller pool. k) Licensed day care is an integral component of the BGCN's operations; not only is this service a good fit with their mandate and facility model, but it also generates much needed revenue to offset costs for other core services. The Club is proposing to gradually increase its total number of licensed care spaces by 78% over a period of a few years. Current wait list data generally justifies this expansion. The space occupied by the child care component is multi purpose and will be able to accommodate additional space for recreation and leisure programming on evenings and weekends, No portion of the annual operating grant currently provided by the City to the BGCN goes toward child care, nor would this be the case in the future. I) A total of four sites were evaluated as potential sites for the proposed BGCN facility. Based on the Study's site criteria and evaluation process, of the four sites assessed, the recommended site is Ker Park followed (in order) by Palmer Park, A.G. Bridges Park, and the BGCN site on McLeod Road. The City was responsible for identifying the four short- listed sites. m) The geographic proximity of the proposed BGCN facility should it contain an indoor pool to the MacBain Community Centre would have a detrimental impact on the ability of each facility to attract users and generate revenue. As such, it is recommended that the BGCN facility not be located at the Club's site on McLeod Road if it is to include an indoor pool (now or in the future). An improved geographic distribution of indoor aquatic facilities in the City is required in order to maximize community benefit and improve the financial sustainability of local organizations. The BGCN has indicated that an indoor pool is a required component of a new facility. n) Our analysis of the BGCN's pro forma has raised three primary areas of concern: (1) the occupancy costs do not reflect accurate utility costs; (2) revenues seem ambitious in large part due to questionable increases in participation expected over the long -term; and (3) there is no delineated annual capital contribution to reserves. o) A new 41,000 square foot BGCN facility as it is currently proposed is not financially sustainable. The operating cost analysis suggests that the BGCN expense projections are understated by about $220,000 and their revenue projections are overstated by about $34,000. The overall impact of the adjustments would result in an operating deficit of $201.144 in the first year of the facility's operation (this deficit would be over $420,000 without the City's annual grant contribution). This figure could be reduced by approximately $102,000 per year if the pool was downsized. Because there is very little flexibility in the Club's ability to reduce fixed costs and the local market for BGCN services is stable at best, the most viable scenario would be for the Club to revisit the building size to reduce costs and thereby improve the operation's financial position. p) Our analysis of capital costs (facility construction, site development, fees, contingencies, etc.) suggests that the cost to develop a 41,000 square foot BGCN facility is approximately $11.95 million (in 2007 dollars; construction costs are increasing by approximately 5% per year), not including any site specific costs. This is $2.67 million more that what has been estimated by the Boys Girls Club. Differences between the City of Niagara Falls Proposed New Boys Girls Club Facility Feasibility Study May 8, 2007 v two estimates may be attributed to the escalation in construction costs, potentially higher quality construction standards, and the construction approach (i.e., design -build versus design- bid build, both of which could result in different facility specifications and qualities). q) The fundraising strategy and in- kind /development contributions proposed by the BGCN are aggressive, but cannot be assessed any further until the City provides its "in principle" commitment. Senior -level government grant contributions are unknown (there are no available infrastructure grant programs known to the Consultants at this time) and major donor contributions may vary based on the site that is ultimately selected for the facility. Should the Club's ability to generate capital funds fall short of the project costs, it is possible that the BGCN would have resort to a traditional financing approach and this could further impede their ability to operate at break -even levels. C. Proposed Project Principles The following project principles should be used frame the future City/BGCN relationship concerning the new facility. The principles imply a reasonably close working relationship between the municipality and the Boys Girls Club. i) Based on the vision and mandate outlined in the BGCN business plan, the City and BGCN will work together to ensure that the facility's operating philosophy complements the department's mandate for the delivery of public recreation services. ii) The City will contribute up to $5 million in principle" to the capital cost of construction with the balance of the necessary capital funds raised by the BGCN. iii) The BGCN and the City will commit to creating a relationship that maximizes the potential for success of the new complex in terms of fulfilling the vision and mandate of BGCN, meeting certain outstanding community recreation needs and achieving acceptable financial performance. iv) While the facility concept and design will be the responsibility of the BGCN, the City's Input will be sought to ensure that (as possible) the complex is capable of meeting certain outstanding community facility and program requirements as identified in t the Strategic Plan for the Provision of Parks, Recreation, Arts and Culture. v) The BGCN and the City will collaborate on the Initial program, scheduling, marketing, and business planning decisions for the new facility. Responsibilities pertaining to these activities will evolve as the relationship between the entities matures. vi) The BGCN will operate and maintain the facility in accordance with standards set out in simple documentation describing the arrangement between the BGCN and the City. vii) The BGCN will be entirely responsible for the financial performance of the facility and will fully absorb all financial risks associated with operations. Therefore, the BGCN will determine the merits and business sustainability of services requested by the City or others and ultimately make decisions associated with incorporating said services into its operating strategy. City of Niagara Falls Proposed New Boys Girls Club Facility Feasibility Study May 8, 2007 vi D. Recommendations The following are the recommendations of the Proposed New Boys Girls Facility Feasibility Study they have been grouped by topic and are preceded by a brief overview. Further detail and justification can be found in the full report. City Commitment Our analysis suggests that the Niagara Falls community values the services provided by the Boys Girls Club of Niagara and there is sufficient local demand for the Club to continue to provide these services. Furthermore, it is clear that the Club's existing facility is nearing the end of its useful life and will require replacement. The Club does not have the financial resources to develop and sustain a new facility without significant contributions (both capital and operating) from the City. A new facility presents an opportunity to enhance service to an existing market over the long -term. 1. That the City approve one -half of the capital costs to construct the new facility in principle contingent on the following: the BGCN undertaking a successful fundraising campaign and securing the anticipated "development contributions" to garner the remainder of the capital costs of the project; the BGCN developing a viable Business Plan that establishes how this facility can be financially sustainable on a year -to -year basis; the BGCN assuming all cost overruns for the project; the City entering into an acceptable long -term lease agreement with the Club (if the facility is to be built on City land); or, if the facility is to be built on private land, that it be outside of the market area of the MacBaln Community Centre; and the City's capital contribution not exceed a total of $5 million ($1 million per year over 5 years). 2. That the City honour its approval in principle for matching capital funds in a time period of two years to enable the BGCN to complete Its capital campaign. 3. That the Project Principles be used as the foundation for the development of a collaborative working relationship between the City and the BGCN. 4. That in planning the development and continued operations of the proposed BGCN facility the City and BGCN meet on an ongoing basis and work together to address the leisure and support needs of the community. It is strongly recommended that the YMCA also be included in the ongoing coordination process. 5. That the BGCN and the City of Niagara Falls enter into discussions with respect to developing a purchase of service agreement that sees the BGCN deliver certain programs and services on behalf of the City in exchange for annual funding that might include an operational contribution to the anticipated deficit. City of Niagara Falls Proposed New Boys Girls Club Facility Feasibility Study May 8, 2007 vii Site Evaluation Analysis Four sites provided by the City were evaluated for the proposed BGCN facility and, of these, Ker Park is the recommended site based on our site evaluation criteria. The Study process did not involve creating consensus between the City and the Boys Guts Club on this matter. The geographic proximity of the proposed BGCN facility to the MacBain Community Centre would have a detrimental impact on indoor pool usage and revenue levels at both facilities. An improved distribution of indoor aquatic facilities in the City is required in order to maximize community benefit and improve the financial sustainability of both organizations. Despite the BGCN indicating that an indoor pool is a required component, the BGCN facility should not include an indoor pool if it is constructed on the McLeod Road lands. 6. That, of the four sites evaluated, Ker Park is the most appropriate location for a new Boys Girls Club facility and it is the recommended site for the proposed facility. Facility Size Aquatics It is our conclusion that a 41,000 square foot facility is not financially sustainable, nor is a facility this size absolutely necessary to serve the Club's members. Opportunities exist within the proposed design to reduce or eliminate certain spaces. With the intention of reducing the facility size (and, in turn, the capital and operating costs, it is recommended that the Club refine its facility design to reflect the recommendations contained in this report. 7. That the BGCN reduce the proposed facility to a size of approximately 30,000 to 33,000 square feet (of which no more that 2,000 square feet should be the pool surface) and reflect this in their Business Plan. 8. That the BGCN reduce the size of the pool to a 20 -metre (approximate) leisure concept pool. Capital Budget Estimates and Project Costs Under the current proposal from the BGCN, we have estimated that the 41,000 square foot facility will cost approximately $11.95 million to build, including site development on a generic site (this estimate is in current year dollars and will likely increase over time). This is approximately $2.67 million more than what has been estimated by the BGCN, although much of this may be attributed to differences in construction approaches and quality of materials. With the intention of reducing this cost, it is recommended that the Club refine its facility design and capital cost estimates to reflect the recommendations contained in this report. Simply by reducing the size of the pool, our analysis suggests that the Club could save $1.05 million in construction costs. 9. That the BGCN refine the capital budget estimates in its Business Plan based on the requirements of a scaled down facility. Cost inflation and potential financing impacts must also be assessed. City of Niagara Falls Proposed New Boys Girls Club Facility Feasibility Study May 8, 2007 viii 10. That an independent consultant be retained to establish the specific design quality guidelines for the proposed facility. Annual Budget and Operating Costs Under the current proposal from the BGCN, we have estimated that the 41,000 square foot facility will have an annual operating deficit of approximately $201,000 in its first year; without the City's contributions, this figure would likely exceed $420,000. With the intention of reducing this deficit, it is recommended that the Club refine its operating budget figures to reflect a smaller facility and the recommendations contained in this report. Simply by reducing the size of the pool, our analysis suggests that the Club could save $102,000 per year. 11. That the BGCN and City recognize and plan for the potential of increased operating deficits at the proposed centre over time due to limited net increases in the child and youth population. The City should be prepared to re- evaluate the level of annual funding (currently $210,000 per year, plus assistance with the Club's fleet) that would be required to support the estimated increased annual operating deficits of a new facility for the BGCN. 12. That the BGCN revise its Business Plan to more closely align future increases in usage (beyond the first year of the new facility's operation) with the City's demographic forecasts. 13. That the operating budget projections in the BGCN's Business Plan be realigned and refined to reflect the downsized building envelope, increases to occupancy costs, and achievable revenues as noted in this report; this revised operating budget must be provided to the City for their review. 14. That the BGCN work toward developing actual costs to deliver each program type and service (including both direct and non direct costs) in order to develop a pricing model and alternate revenue sources. 15. That the BGCN commit to an annual contribution to reserve for capital repairs and refurbishments, In the first three years of operation, this contribution should be 1% /year of the cost to replace the building and be increased to 1.5 %!year thereafter, Boys Girls Club Fundraising Campaign It is our opinion that the BGCN's capital fundraising campaign Is aggressive and in- kind /development contributions have not been validated, nevertheless these elements cannot be assessed any further until the City provides its "in principle" commitment. If bears noting that we are not aware of any available infrastructure grant programs at this time and the BGCN has indicated that major donor contributions may vary based on the site that is ultimately selected. 16. That the BGCN revise its funding strategy based on the recommendations in this report. City of Niagara Falls Proposed New Boys Gins Club Facility Feasibility Study May 8,2007 Ix 5.2 Site Criteria A set of site evaluation criteria that are intended to be used to identify one or more preferred sites have been developed. The criteria are comprised of two sets of ratings: (1) evaluation of acceptability regarding each criteria; and (2) weighting of overall value regarding Importance for acceptance. The established criteria provide a strong, rational basis for identifying and evaluating potential sites. In developing these criteria, consideration was also given to those aspects deemed important by the Boys Girls Club of Niagara. It is important to note that not all criteria may be able to be met for each site, however, the following criteria are mandatory in order for a site to be considered potentially viable: 1. the site must be located within the urban area boundaries of the City of Niagara Falls as determined by the City's Official Plan; and 2. the site is of a sufficient size to accommodate the proposed facility; the minimum size is 1.4 hectares (3.5 acres) for a 41,000 square foot facility. The mandatory criteria should be used to screen sites before advancing to the next evaluation stage. Only those sites that are able to meet each of the mandatory criteria should be considered; all others will be eliminated. Each of the four potential sites have been determined to meet the mandatory criteria, therefore, each has been "short- listed" for further review. The Stage 2 criteria are described in Appendix G. r Some of the criteria are more critical than others, therefore, a weighting and scoring system was developed to rank the sites. Weights ranging from 1 to 4 were applied to each criterion. These weights were then multiplied by a rating given to how well each site meets each criterion. The scores (weights multiplied by ratings) are then added for each site and a total score is established. The higher the total score, the more appropriate the site is for the intended use. 'NOTE: Market viability of the proposed BGCN facility, as well as the MCC, is one of the key aspects examined by this Study. ft is recognized that geographic proximity of similar facilities (as is potentially the case between the BGCN and the MCC) is one element that can have a dramatic impact on the ability of each facility to attract users and generate revenue. A minimum service radius has not been established that would preclude these facilities from being located near each other; however, it is possible that this may be key point in negotiations and further site evaluations to fake place between the City and the BGCN. 5.3 Site Evaluation Based on the site selection criteria, each identified site was assessed and "scored resulting in a rating for each site (ratings can range from 0 to 100, with the higher number being the more appropriate site). The complete criteria, weightings, and scores can be found in Appendix G. The following are the preferred sites in order of ranking: Rank Site Rating 1 Site D Ker Park 73 2 Site C Palmer Park 66 3 Site B A.G. Bridges Park 63 4 Site A BGCN and an McLeod Road 60 City 01 Niagara Falls Proposed New Boys 8 Girls Club Facility Feasibility Study May 8, 2007 34 NOTE: 0 is possible that further work may be required by the City and /or Boys Girls Club of Niagara to assess the sites in more detail prior to construction. Ultimately, the details of the arrangement between the City and the BGCN as well as the Club's ability to fundraise should location other than Site A be selected could have a strong influence on the rankings. Based on the information assembled on the four sites short- listed by the City: Ker Park scored well in nearly every category; its location, site area, and existing services were seen as advantageous in many ways. The adjacent active rail line and the fact that the property is on a collector road (as opposed to an arterial road) are some of its more significant drawbacks. While locating the proposed BGCN facility at Palmer Park would be viewed as an opportunity to revitalize this area in transition the lack of direct transit access and the adjacent brownfield sites were seen as drawbacks. Although A.G. Bridge Park is familiar to current BGCN users, it lost points because of its location on a local road in the middle of a residential area (reducing visibility), the loss of valuable parkland in an existing residential neighbourhood, and the need for additional planning approvals. The BGCN -owned site on McLeod Road was the least preferred site. Although this site would not result in the loss of parkland, it does not offer an expansion potential, would cost more to construct due to a lack of servicing, and does not promote' an equitable distribution of facilities due to its proximity to the MacBain Community Centre.

Celebrate Old Downtown is planning several street events throughout the summer of 2008. The first event, Springlicious, a food, wine beer expo, will be held the weekend of May 30 31 and June 1St 2008 Street Closing The organizers are requesting permission to close Queen Street from Erie Ave to St. Lawrence Ave. and adjoining side streets leading onto Queen within these boundaries. The closing will be from 5:OOpm Thursday May 29 and to 12:OOpm Monday June 2 nd. thereby allowing enough time for set -up and teardown of the infrastructure for the event. We respectfully request that Council waive the costs of these street closures. Stages The Springlicious committee plans to have three stages operating during the event. The main stage, planned for the court yard in front of City Hall will run until 11:30pm Friday and Saturday and until 5:OOpm Sunday provided permission is granted. To accommodate the main stage we request the use of the hydro hook -ups in the City Hall court yard to power the stage, and that the 9:OOpm noise by -law be extended to 11:30pm. for Friday and Saturday nights. The second stage will be set -up at the intersection of Crysler Ave and Queen Street and will run until 11:30pm Friday and Saturday and until 5:00pm Sunday. Both areas will be licensed, if approved by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, with the proper fencing and all bartenders will have their Smart Serve Certificate, The third stage will be a children's stage where no alcohol will be served and will operate only Saturday and Sunday from 11:OOam to 5:00pm each day. The event organizer will be applying for a liquor license once City approval is given to hold the event. Hydro The Springlicious committee would also appreciate the use of the City hydro connection on Queen Street and the connections that run to trees on the street as a power source for vendors. Our understanding is that this is a 50 amp service with #2 wires running to these trees and, provided that this is true, it would be excellent for vendor hook -ups. If this is not true, is there a possibility of tapping Downtown Niagara Falls: Where Friends Make the Difference into the light posts on the street? There will be an electrical contractor on site before and during the event that would be responsible for making the electrical tie -ins. Cleaning and Equipment The Springlicious committee also requests permission to borrow the following items from The City: snow fencing, barricades, picnic tables and trash cans. Is there a possibility of City assistance in cleaning the event site at the end of each night? Washrooms There will be 26 portable washrooms on site (6 will be handicap accessible). There will be a contractor with a pumping truck on site throughout the event to maintain them. Permits Parking During the event, vendors and event -goers will be occupying several parking spaces, and the committee respectfully requests that the City waive any costs for parking lots and the use of metered spots for the duration of the event. The committee also requests that the City waive any cost of the business permits required for vendors. Health Regulations As Springlicious is a food event, some vendors that will be using Bar -Q's, some will use deep fryers, and most vendors will use warmers. The food would be prepared in their restaurants and transported to the site then placed in warmers. Also all vendors will have been issued a Public Health permit. Insurance A five million dollar insurance policy for the event has been requested. Fire Safety The event coordinator will meet with the fire department to discuss any of their concerns about the event, such as cooking, laneways, and electrical and water lines. Emergency Access A minimum 20' wide laneway shall be maintained between all tents, objects, booths, fencing, etc., so as to ensure that in the event of an emergency the road may be opened and emergency vehicles shall have access to the entire closure area. Security There will be a private security company on site; however, Niagara Regional Police presence is a requisite, and they have been contacted. Attached to this letter is a copy of the letter to area residents and businesses with the re- routing of the bus schedule including dates, as well as a map of the area showing the locations of vendor's tents, picnic tables, trash cans, dumpsters, portable washrooms, event headquarters and a first aid station.

BACKGROUND: Legal Services has received a request to permanently close, declare surplus and convey the subject land. The requester is the owner of all the lands that abut the subject land to the east and west. The northern and southern boundaries of the subject land are John Street and Hiram Street, respectively. The subject land is an open road allowance located between John Street to the north and Hiram Street to the south. It should be noted that the subject land only serves the abutting landowner. The request has been circulated to all City departments and public utilities, the result of which was that there were no objections to the subject land being permanently closed, declared surplus and conveyed to the abutting landowner, subject to an easement being granted to Enbridge Gas for a 2" gas main. The first step in proceeding to sale, given that this is an open road allowance, is to permanently close the road followed with the declaration of surplus. As such, it is our recommendation that the subject land be permanently closed and declared surplus. A Report dealing with the proposed terms of the sale of the subject land to the abutting landowner will be presented for Council's consideration, at a later date. 023 jNtagartFalls *0N DCanada L2E6X5 905 356 7521 'www niagarafalls.ca.

BACKGROUND: At its meeting on July 23, 2007, City Council adopted the recommendations set out in report MW- 2007 -87 dealing with the proposed solution addressing the chronic basement flooding problems experienced in the Kalar Road Pump Station Sanitary Service Area. Staff advertised a Notice of Study Completion as required by the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Act. Council added an additional recommendation for staff to report on the cost estimates and implementation schedule for the works identified in the EA documents. The Minister of the Environment received two (2) Part II Order Requests (or "bump up" requests) from a local resident (Ms. Jean Grandoni) and a representative from PALS (Dr. John Backer) within the specified appeal period and has recently made the determination that, in both cases, an individual environmental assessment is NOT required. See attached letters received on March 5, 2008. The Kalar Road Pump Station Sanitary Service Area EA identified: 1. Conveyance system improvements replacement of the existing sanitary sewer on Kalar Road between Thorold Stone Road and Beaverdams Road (approximately $5.4 million); and /or, 2. Source control reduction program water conservation, foundation tile (weeping tile) disconnection, cross connection control, roof leader disconnection, lot grading education and manhole,.rehabilitation programs. .x43100 Quee niStreet"PO;Box 1023 Niagara,Falls ON Canada L2E6X5' „905-356 -7521 www.niagarafalls.ca Working Together to Serve Our Community Community Services Department April 14, 2008 PROPOSED IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Conveyance System Improvements The sanitary sewer replacement on Kalar Road should be phased due to the scope of the project. i) Kalar Road Sanitary Sewer Phase I (NS &T Line to Beaver Valley) Estimated Project Costs: Engineering design and approvals 100,000.00 New trunk sanitary sewer construction $1 400,000.00 Total: $1,500,000.00 Funding Source: It is important to proceed with Phase I this year to provide immediate relief to those houses in the Lexington Court area. ii) Kalar Road Sanitary Sewer Phase II (NS &T Line to Thorold Stone Road and along Shriners Creek) Estimated Project Costs: Engineering design and approvals 100,000.00 New trunk sanitary sewer construction $3,900,000.00 Funding Source: Capital Sewer $4,000,000.00 The second phase of construction should be rescheduled for 2010 or beyond which will allow staff the opportunity to coordinate these works with future roadway, storm drainage and watermain replacement works. SOURCE CONTROL REDUCTION PROGRAMS 2 MW-2008-21 Capital Sewer $1,500,000.00 Total: $4,000,000.00 a) Water Conservation Program this program will include an extensive education program coordinated with the Region of Niagara, details of the program are still under review and will be presented to City Council in May. b) Foundation Tile (Weeping Tile) Disconnection Program this program will provide cost incentives to residents to disconnect their foundation tile from the sanitary sewer. Staff is developing an aggressive mandatory disconnection by -law that is intended to come into effect by 2012 or sooner. The Region has committed funding of $375,000 over the next five years to help with this Citywide initiative. This program is expected to be rolled out o the public in June. April 14, 2008 c) Cross Section Study /Manhole Inspection Rehabilitation this program will be incorporated into the ongoing Service Delivery Review and will include regular inspection and preventive maintenance activities in area that are suspected of having excessive inflow /infiltration or are cross connected with the combined or sanitary sewer system. d) Roof Lead (Downspout) Disconnection /Lot Grading Program the current Downspout Disconnection By -law requires some review and updating. Many private lot grading issues can be resolved by proper education and technical advice from staff. Details of these programs are still under review and are expected to be presented to Council in June. Given the proposed timing, staff is seeking Council's direction to advance the implementation of these works within the limitations of the approved budgets.

I am taking this opportunity to inform you that a decision has been made that an individual environmental assessment is not required. This decision was made after giving careful consideration to the issues raised in the requests, the Project documentation, the provisions of the Municipal Engineers Association Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA), and other relevant matters required to be considered under subsection 16(4) of the Environmental Assessment Act. The reasons for my decision may be found in the attached letter to the requesters. With this decision having been made, the City may now proceed with the Project, subject to any other permits or approvals required. The City must implement the Project in the manner it was developed and designed, as set out in the Project File and inclusive of all mitigating measures and environmental and other provisions therein. Lastly, I would like to ensure that the City understands that failure to comply with the Environmental Assessment Act and the provisions of the Class EA, and failure to implement the Project in the manner described in the Project File, are contraventions of the Environmental Assessment Act and may result in prosecution under section 38 of the Mr. Geoff Holman Page 2. Act. I am confident that the City recognizes the importance and value of the Environmental Assessment Act and will ensure that its requirements and those of the Class EA are satisfied.

I welcome your comments on this Project. On September 5, 2007, you requested that the City be required to prepare an individual environmental assessment for the Project. I am taking this opportunity to inform you that a decision has been made that an individual environmental assessment is not required. In making this decision, I have given careful consideration to the Project documentation, the provisions of the Municipal Engineers Association Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA), the issues raised in your request, and relevant matters to be considered under section 16 of the Environmental Assessment Act (EAA). The reasons for my decision are briefly discussed below. The Class EA is a process by which proponents plan and develop projects of this type, including evaluating alternatives, assessing environmental effects, developing mitigation measures, and consulting with the public, without having to obtain approval from me and the Lieutenant Governor in Council for each individual project. The Class EA has itself been subject to review and approval under the EAA, which determined, in part, that the application of the Class EA process would enable proponents to meet the intent and purpose of the EAA. The City has demonstrated that it has planned and developed this Project in accordance with the provisions of the Class EA. I am satisfied therefore that the purpose of the EAA, "the betterment of the people of the whole or any part of Ontario by providing for the protection, conservation and wise management in Ontario of the environment has been met for this Project. 0761 G (03/01) 100% R ecycted Chorine Free. Made in Canada ENV 1283 MC- 2007 -3760 Ms. Jean Grandoni Page 2. The issues and concerns raised by yourself and other Part II Order requesters were extensively reviewed. I am satisfied that the issues and concerns have been addressed by the work done to date by the City, or will be addressed in future work that is required to be carried out. Concerns suggested that the enlarged pipe was unnecessary, as source control measures are sufficient to control basement flooding issues. Source controls are a significant component of the recommendations and have been identified as the long term solution to achieve basement flooding relief. The Project File recommends the implementation of the following source control measures as part of the preferred solution: water conservation; cross connection control program; roof leader disconnection program; weeping tile /foundation drain disconnection; lot grading; and, manhole rehabilitation. On their own, source control measures are considered inadequate to address basement flooding concerns for three main reasons: 1. The volume of extraneous flow from various sources is extremely difficult to predict or measure, and therefore, the impact of implementing source control measures cannot accurately be determined; 2. The success of the source control programs is largely dependant on the participation rates of local residents, which is difficult to predict; and, 3. The level of certainty that source control measures can significantly reduce extraneous flow in a timely manner is low. A more immediate and certain solution to basement flooding problems is the replacement of the Kalar Road sewer line with a pipe of larger diameter. I am satisfied that the City has sufficiently considered source control measures as an alternative and has included source control as part of the preferred solution to address basement flooding. Ms. Jean Grandoni Page 3. Concerns were also expressed that the City did not adequately consider alternatives as part of the study (i.e. weeping tile disconnection, sump pumps, compost toilets, rain barrels, etc.). The Project File initially identified thirteen controls to evaluate as alternative solutions to reduce and /or eliminate basement flooding. Alternatives were categorized as: source controls, conveyance controls, or end -of -pipe controls. The Project File discussed the importance of ongoing system maintenance and infrastructure programs, as well as immediate technical solutions. Alternatives were assessed using a set of evaluation screening criteria and scoring matrix to identify the preferred solution. The requests specifically suggest that there has not been adequate consideration of source controls, in particular, sump pumps, as alternatives. Although the City did not evaluate the feasibility of specifically installing sump pumps as the preferred solution, the evaluation of source control alternatives yields the same conclusion regardless of which specific source control is considered. That is, more immediate and certain relief to those areas experiencing basement flooding is more likely to be achieved through the installation of the enlarged pipe. I am satisfied that the City has adequately considered alternatives, including source controls, as part of the study. The requests suggest that source control measures are cheaper and provide a greater value than installing the enlarged pipe. To estimate the cost of a weeping tile disconnection program, the City considered the number of homes in the service area requiring disconnection and the cost per home to complete the disconnection. City Council report MW- 2005 -118 indicated that there are approximately 3,200 homes in the Kalar Road service area, of which 1,600 are suspected of having a weeping tile connection to the sanitary sewer system. This assumption is based on a rough calculation of the number of homes built in the area prior to 1991 when regulations came into effect that prevented new homes from having weeping tiles connected to the sanitary sewer system. While the actual number cannot be determined unless a detailed inspection is conducted, the flow volumes experienced in the sewer system during heavy rainfall events suggest this number is higher than 1,600. For the purposes of cost estimates, the City assumes that 2,000 homes in the Kalar Road service area have weeping tile connections. As part of the voluntary weeping tile disconnection program, the City has provided backflow preventers and sump pumps to participating homeowners. To date, the City has used a budget estimate of $2,000 per home to complete this work. However, the disconnections completed to date have not required the use of outside contractors or technical support, as the participating homes have not had finished basements or required Ms. Jean Grandoni Page 4. extensive landscaping restoration. Feedback from other municipalities has indicated that more .challenging disconnections could cost up to $6,000 per house. Therefore, the costs are highly variable and difficult to predict. For the purpose of cost comparison to the enlarged pipe, the minimum total cost for the weeping tile disconnection program would be $4 million (2,000 homes at $2,000 per home). However, knowing that disconnections at some homes may cost up to $6,000, the program is expected to cost much more. It is unlikely that the costs to implement the weeping tile disconnection program will be significantly less than the estimated cost for the infrastructure recommendation ($5.46 million). In addition, weeping tile disconnection would not result in the immediate relief from basement flooding that can be achieved with the installation of the enlarged pipe. A weeping tile disconnection program is part of the recommendations in the Project File and has been recognized by the City to be an important component of the long term solution. I am satisfied that the City has considered cost as part of the study. It was suggested that the system is already overloaded and that an enlarged pipe may cause further overloading. The request expressed concern, that as a result of the increased overloading, raw sewage will be dumped from the sanitary sewer into the storm sewer, which discharges to the natural environment. During dry weather, the Kalar Road sanitary sewer system operates at approximately 40% of its available capacity, and therefore, does not experience overloading under normal operating conditions. It is during episodes of heavy rainfall that the system experiences extremely high inflow and infiltration, which results in basement flooding. The sanitary sewer system is not designed to convey flow generated from rainfall. The preferred solution will help reduce the extraneous flows to the system (source control measures) and provide additional storage capacity (enlarged pipe). No new extraneous flow will be generated as a result of the enlarged pipe. With the exception of the temporary pump in the Lexington Court area, the Kalar Road sanitary sewer system does not overflow to the natural environment. Diversion of sanitary sewer flows to rivers and creeks is currently only conducted by the City in emergency situations, such as basement flooding during wet weather. The ministry only allows this practice for emergency situations. Recommendations in the Project File do not involve the diversion of sanitary flows to rivers and creeks and will reduce the likelihood of any diversions taking place. Ms. Jean Grandoni Page 5. I am satisfied that the enlarged pipe will not cause overloading within the system or involve the diversion of sanitary flows to the natural environment. Concern was expressed that if the City drops the depth of the sewer line, there is a risk that it may intersect the water table. The depth of the enlarged sewer line will match the depth of the existing sewer line. However, the recommended solution does involve lowering the pipe invert (elevation of the bottom of the inside pipe wall) due to the differences in pipe diameter. It is possible that the existing sewer line lies within the water table. Mitigation techniques to ensure proper construction if the sewer line will lie within the water table will be addressed in the detailed design phase of the Project. I am satisfied that appropriate mitigation techniques will be evaluated in the detailed design phase of the Project. It was suggested that pipe repair is a possible solution that was not adequately considered as an alternative. While the repair of the pipe would reduce the amount of extraneous flow entering the Kalar Road pipe section, it would not reduce the amount of extraneous flow entering the remaining tributary sewer service area. The enlarged pipe will reduce the extraneous flow in the Kalar Road section and accommodate extraneous flows from other parts of the system by providing a larger storage volume. I am satisfied that the City has considered pipe repair as a solution and that pipe repair will not significantly relieve basement flooding problems. Concern was raised that the pump station for Club Italia was not considered as part of the Project File. The Club Italia sanitary flow has been addressed through a separate Certificate of Approval application by the City. The flow from Club Italia was also considered as part of the Project File. The Club Italia flow represents primarily a dry weather flow contribution to the system and does not contribute, in any significant way, to the extraneous flow entering the system during wet weather events. I am satisfied that the City has appropriately considered Club Italia as part of the Project File. There is concern that an enlarged pipe will encourage the expansion of urban boundaries. The purpose of the Project File and the enlarged pipe is not to facilitate urban boundary expansion. The analysis carried out was specific to the issue of local basement flooding and no significant development related applications have been included in the analysis. There is no evidence to suggest that the increased capacity option was favoured to allow more development within the Kalar Road Pump Station sewershed. Ms. Jean Grandoni Page 6. I am satisfied that the Project File was completed to address basement flooding problems and not to facilitate urban boundary expansion. Concern was expressed that sewage overflows may be installed underground. Sanitary sewer overflows are not part of the recommendations of the Project File and there is no intention on the part of the City to install overflows. I am satisfied that the City does not intend to install sewage overflows as part of the preferred solution. With this decision having been made, the City can now proceed with the Project, subject to any other permits or approvals required. The City must implement the Project in the manner it was developed and designed, as set out in the Project File, and inclusive of all commitments made during the review of the Part II Order requests, mitigating measures, and environmental and other provisions therein.

RECOMMENDATION: BACKGROUND: rls Niag a ti apalls CANADA Councillor Carolynn loannoni Chair and Members of the Community Services Committee City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Re: MW- 2007 -87 Kalar Road Pump Station Sanitary Service Area Municipal Class EA Final Recommendations Working Together to Serve Our Community The recommendation(s) contained in this report were adopted in committee and ratified by City Council 1) That City Council adopt the recommendations set out in the Environmental Study Report for the Kalar Rd. Pump Station Sanitary Service Area Municipal Class EA; 2) That staff be directed to advertise the Notice of Study Completion as set out in the Municipal Class EA process; 3) That the temporary pump, fencing and related overflow piping be permanently removed from the site and the subject lands restored to its original condition: The Kalar Rd. Pump Station Sanitary Service Area Municipal Class EA was initiated by the City in the Fall 2005 in response to three severe storm events which caused extensive basement flooding overthe.previous four years. The ensuing Schedule "B" Municipal Class EA process included 3 Public Information Centres including the most recent on July 12 2007. Attached is a copy of the Executive. Summary of the Environmental Study Report which highlights the following recommendations: Conveyance System Improvements this project involves the replacement of the existing sanitary sewer on Kalar Rd. between Thorold Stone Rd. and Beaverdams Rd. Source Control Program this recommendation includes the implementation of best management practices aimed at eliminating sources of inflow and infiltration through water conservation, cross- connection investigations, downspout disconnection enforcement, weeping tile disconnection, lot grading programs, manhole rehabilitation, tvinspections and annual sewer flushing programs. Community Services Department Municipal Works July 23, 2007 2 MW- 2007 -87 By committing to these recommendations the City will significantly reduce the incidence of basement flooding within the study area, reduce the need to respond to flood prone areas during major storm events and avoid the need to bypass sanitary sewer flows into the natural environment. Financial Considerations: The total cost of the recommended sanitary sewer replacement is estimated to be approximately $5.5 million. Currently there is no funding set aside for this expenditure however given the importance of this issue it is recommended that staff makes appropriate provisions in the 2008 Capital Budget for a phased implementation of this project. The cost of implementing the source control program will be factored into the utility budget. The exact scope and level of service will be determined upon completion of the Water /Sewer Service Delivery Review and the City -wide Pollution Control Plan and Combined Sewer Overflow Abatement Strategy EA later this year. Other Issues: 1. Temporary Pump at Kalar Road P.S. At its meeting on June 25` Council deferred a staff recommendation to remove and decommission the temporary Pump and related yard piping pending the presentation of the recommendations of the findings of this Environmental Assessment and the receipt of more information regarding an alternate site. The Temporary Pump was acquired as an interim measure until such time as the permanent solution to mitigating the basement flooding could be determined. Its current location has raised many aesthetic, health and noise concerns by local residents. Staff has pursued alternate locations for this pump and has prepared an alternate design that would address, at least, the aesthetic concerns (see revised location plan). The cost associated with relocating the temporary pump are estimated to be between $10,000- $12,000. Staff is recommending that the recommendations set out in report MW- 2007 -64 to decommission the temporary pump be reconsidered by Council for the following reasons; The Temporary Pump is not effective in alleviating the basement flooding as originally intended, It creates an automatic overflow to the natural environment which introduces heath concerns to neighbouring residents and downstream property owners, Relocation will require approval from other agencies (Region, MOE, other adjacent property owners), and, The money spent on the relocation would be better allocated toward the permanent final solution. The City currently has a coordinated response protocol that more effectively addresses the basement flooding risk on Lexington court. July 23, 2007 3 Mw- 200747 2. Capacity for New Development The proposed recommendations target the existing problems in the sanitary sewer system and although the solution includes the installation of larger diameter sewers and inflow /infiltration reduction this should not be construed as treating capacity for new development except those properties that are currently within the Kalar Rd. Pump Station sewershed area Any additional capacity created as a result of these Capital Works should be used to provide in -line storage for the system: 3. Lexington Court Sewer Diversion At the request of the residents living on Lexington Court, an analysis was conducted to see if the flows coming through the trunk sewer could be diverted to other nodes within the system. This review concluded that the key constraint was the depth, capacity and condition of the Kalar Rd. sewer and that no advantage would be gained by the rerouting of flows. In conclusion, the input from the public has provided staff with some valuable insight into the operation of the sewer system in this area and the final recommendations will serve the community in both the short and long term.

In 1997 Mr. Allister Young donated a 1932 Ford Roadster to the Arts Culture Commission (now the Arts Culture Committee). The Commission raffled the car off and the money realized from the sale of tickets was used to set up the Young Family Endowment Fund. The money was invested and the interest is used to support the Arts Culture Committee's Awards Program. The Arts Culture Committee administers the program and its Awards Sub Committee jury's the applications. Any resident of the City of Niagara Falls and /or any group (not already receiving permissive grants) serving Niagara Falls residents are eligible to apply for the advertised awards. The total value of all awards at any one competition will not exceed annual interest yielded by the Young Family Endowment Fund. The purpose of the award is to encourage residents to participate in the arts and culture opportunities available to them in Niagara Falls. In the past, there has been a limited response from the community in terms of applications and the Arts Culture Committee would like to see this changed. The Arts Culture Committee Awards Sub Committee met on May 7, 2007, to discuss how the wording of the Young Family Endowment Fund and criteria could be changed to make the purpose clearer. The Committee discussed the fact that the name "Young Family Endowment Fund" can be mistaken to mean that it is an award for young families and not an award to assist with arts.andculture participation.

The Awards Sub Committee and Staff worked together to create a new policy and application form including a new and more descriptive name. At the Arts Culture Committee meeting of September 27, 2007, a motion was carried as follows: "THAT the Committee accept the policy and application form, as amended, to include the name change, the deadline change to one per year, and to combine the three granting categories into one." Mr. Allister Young was contacted regarding the proposed name change and provided his approval on March 10, 2008.

(Andrew Ferri) RECOMMENDATION: That Council grant a one -year extension to draft plan approval for the Willoughby Gardens Plan of Subdivision. BACKGROUND: Process Draft approval for subdivision and condominium applications is typically given for three years. After this time period, approval will lapse unless an extension is requested by the developer and granted by Council as permitted under the Planning Act. As an interim measure, staff can grant temporary extensions to draft plan approval pending a formal request to Council. In order to ensure draft plans are not automatically extended without consideration of Council policy and contemporary requirements, requests for extensions are reviewed based on current planning and development criteria. Planning Review NiagaraJ7alls CA NA I)A The developer's agent has submitted a request for a one -year extension to the Willoughby Gardens Plan of Subdivision (see attached letter and Schedule 1). This plan originally received draft approval from the City on April 23, 2003. As a courtesy, staff has granted several temporary extensions as the anniversary of the approval date has passed and to allow the developer to submit a formal request. The subdivision proposes 8 lots for the construction of single- detached dwellings on a cul- de -sac (Willgard Court) connecting to Willoughby Drive.

The only outstanding conditions of draft approval are an easement related to the interests of the City, Bell Canada and Canadian Niagara Power Inc. and submission of the executed agreement and securities. The agent's letter indicates that the developer is undertaking a review of possible modifications to the plan but anticipate registration of the subdivision within the year. Any modifications would need to be approved by the City. CONCLUSION: Based on this review, a one -year extension (until April 23, 2009) to draft plan approval for the Willoughby Gardens Plan of Subdivision can be supported by staff.

This plan originally received draft approval from the Region on October 23, 1998. The authority for the subdivision has been delegated to the City and Council has granted previous requests to extend draft approval. Staff has granted temporary extensions as the anniversary of the approval date has passed and to allow the developer to submit a formal request.

On October 15, Council approved Report PD- 2007-86 for a new subdivision plan for Warren Woods (East) (Files 26T -11- 2006 -02 Revised AM- 42/2006) containing a lotting pattern for a mix of dwelling types. Draft plan approval became effective November 29, 2007 and is in place until 2010. Draft plan approval for the west section of the plan is still maintained under the old file (26T- 96001). The developer is seeking an extension of draft plan approval for the west section (File 26T- 96001) which contains 4 blocks of land. The developer indicates he requires a 1 year extension while he explores modifications to the plan to accommodate sanitary servicing alternatives. Any new subdivision design for this land should also address current environmental requirements, housing mix in accordance with the Provincial Growth Plan and an accompanying change to the existing Development Holding (DH) zoning to reflect appropriate residential and environmental zones. CONCLUSION: Based on this review, an extension to draft plan approval until April 14, 2009 for the Warren Woods (West) Plan of Subdivision can be supported by staff.

As a result of the detailed engineering design work for the east portion approval (26T -11- 2006 -02), changes were made in the City's Kalar /Brown Rd. sanitary sewer contract to accommodate the west portion plan through the east portion. Those contract changes have now been constructed and paid for. However, it is not anticipated that the Kalar /Brown Rd. pumping station will be commissioned until the fall of 2008. In anticipation of this, we request a one year extension to the west portion draft approval to allow sufficient time to modify the plan in accordance with the new sanitary servicing route.

That staff be directed to prepare a Development Agreement between the City and Mr. Nick Romagnano that will set out the terms for the upgrading of a portion of Willoughby Drive and Morningstar Road to the current municipal standard at the proponent's expense. 2. Further, that Council direct staff to pursue the closure and conveyance the surplus portions of the subject roadways with the proponent and /or other interested parties. Municipal Works staff received a letter dated September 7, 2007 from Mr. Nick Romagnano requesting permission to upgrade the municipal roadway along the frontage of his property at 13671 Willoughby Drive so that he can satisfy the requirements of the City's Zoning By -Law and make the property eligible for development as a residential lot. The property owner has received a notice from the Niagara Regional Public Health Department to refrain from occupying the existing mobile home trailer on site until the requirements of the Ontario Building Code are met and all municipal requirements to accommodate a residential dwelling are satisfied. The City's Zoning By -Law currently requires 200' of frontage on an improved municipal road. The current policy requires the proponent to enter into a Doyp,pment Agreement with the City to ensure that a proper standard roadway is constpucf.d' "at the developer's expense. Once constructed to the City's satisfaction the roadv,%lfl'tie opened, dedicated as public highway and formally assumed in the City's roadsystem. The subject property (see attached plan).is situated in a remote rural area and is adjacent to two (2) rriunicipal road allowances are not likely to be extended in the foreseeable future due to the location of the QI,EW. Highway. Community T c Department Mu n Se p Works esor I Works September 24, MW-2007-115 From an operations perspective, staff is examining opportunities to reduce its operating costs and exposure to risk and liability, and would prefer that neither Morningstar Road nor Willoughby Drive be extended. Rather, staff is recommending that the frontage on both roads (100ft in each direction) be improved so that maintenance activities including waste collection, snowplowing and ditch clearing could be limited. This configuration would also provide advantages to other emergency services who would otherwise have more difficulty turning around at the end of the long dead end roadways. Given the existing condition of the gravel road in this area the costs to improve the roadway is estimated to be approximately $5,000- $10,000. The current owner is proposing to sell the property to a new owner who plans to construct a permanent residential dwelling on the site. This request and recommendation represent a resolution and reasonable compromise for an ongoing problem for both the property owner (compliance) and the City (operations), Council's consideration of this matter and direction is appreciated.

Operations staff indicated at this meeting that they have maintained this road from Morningstar Road northerly to the QEW right of way which includes applying granular to the road area, cutting the grass boulevard and clearing/grading the roadside ditches when necessary. The City's rural road section standard includes the application of surface treatment which was not evident on this section of road. Therefore, in order for this road to be considered improved the applicant will be required to provide surface treatment to this roadway in accordance to City standards. The applicant may elect to provide a one time payment in the amount of $5,000 to satisfy this requirement which will be applied in future City contracts for this road section. A development agreement for the improvement of this road will be prepared in the coming days and forwarded to you for your review and signature. Once the signed agreement is endorsed by Council, the roadway will be considered improved adjacent to your lands. Please note that the improvement of this road is only one requirement in receiving a building permit on the subject lands. Enclosed is a copy of the memo fiom Bill Clark of the Planning Department listing the requirements in getting a building permit in the rural area in accordance with By law 395/66.
