Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PD- 2012 -52 AM- 2011 -009, Zoning By -law Amendment Application 6871 O'Neil Street Applicant: Avondale Food Stores Ltd. Proposed 3 -Unit Residential Dwelling RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council approve the Zoning By -law amendment application to rezone the land to a site specific Residential Mixed (R3) zone to permit a dwelling with a maximum of three (3) dwelling units, subject to the inclusion of a holding (H) provision to ensure the completion of an Environmental Site Assessment and filing of a Record of Site Condition. 2. That prior to the issuance of a Building Permit, the applicant enter into a Site Plan Agreement with the City. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The applicant has requested a zoning amendment to convert the existing building to a 3- unit residential building. The amendment can be supported because: the proposed use conforms with the Official Plan; the application proposes the reuse of a vacant commercial building for a use that is more compatible with the surrounding residential properties; the subject property maintains sufficient landscape open space; there is sufficient on -site parking; and the concerns expressed by residents can be addressed through Site Plan Control. BACKGROUND Proposal A Zoning By -law amendment is requested to allow the existing building known as 6871 O'Neil Street to be converted into 3 dwelling units. The subject land is currently zoned Residential Single Family 1B Density (R1 B), which permits single detached dwellings. The applicant is requesting to change the zoning to Mixed Residential (R3) with site - specific regulations for reduced lot area, lot frontage, interior side yard width, exterior side yard width and increased parking area in the rear yard. September 11, 2012 - 2 - PD- 2012 -52 The building on the property was originally constructed as a single detached dwelling. Prior to 1970, the building was converted into a retail store. A convenience store operated on site until 2010. In 2011 the Committee of Adjustment denied an application (change of legal non - conforming use) to allow a pizza business to operate in the building (A -2011- 018). Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses The subject property is located on the northeast corner of the intersection of O'Neil Street and Dorchester Road (see Schedule 1). The subject property abuts single detached dwellings to the north and east. On the west side of Dorchester Road and south side of O'Neil Street are single detached dwellings. The lot is approximately 622 square metres (6695 square feet) and has 13.9 metres (45.6 feet) of frontage. The existing building has 176 square metres (1892 square feet) of gross floor area. Schedule 2 shows details of the property. Circulation Comments Information regarding the proposed Zoning By -law Amendment was circulated to City divisions, the Region, agencies and the public for comments. The following summarizes the comments received to date: • Regional Municipality of Niagara No objections. Since the site was previously used for commercial purposes, a Record of Site Condition is required before a Building Permit can be issued. A holding symbol (H) should be applied to the site until such time as a Record of Site Condition is filed with the Ministry of the Environment. • Transportation Services No objections to the application. The applicant will have to dedicate a 3.05 metre (10 foot) road widening along Dorchester Road at the time of Site Plan Control. A 5 metre (16.4 foot) daylighting triangle at the intersection of Dorchester and O'Neil will also be required to be dedicated at the time of Site Plan Control. • Municipal Works No objections to the application. A lot grading plan will be required at the Site Plan Control stage to ensure drainage does not affect abutting residential properties. Building Services - A Building Permit will be required for the change of use. City Clerk, Parks and Recreation, Legal Services, Fire Services, Niagara Falls Transit No objections. September 11, 2012 - 3 - PD- 2012 -52 • Surrounding Neighbours A letter was received from the owner of 6870 O'Neil Street expressing concerns about the proposed new porch in the exterior side yard, suggesting the building should not be allowed to encroach further than it does. Other concerns included snow storage, loss of existing trees on the site, requiring full curbing along all roads abutting the subject property. A resident on Brian Crescent spoke with Planning staff over the phone and noted that she objects to the application, citing traffic concerns. Neighbourhood Open House A neighbourhood open house was held on August 1, 2012 to explain the proposal and to answer questions. Several neighbours attended and expressed concerns about traffic, drainage, lighting, privacy, type of tenants and the density of the site (3 units too dense). Planning staff advised that Site Plan Control is required for this proposal before a Building Permit can be issued and will address the majority of their concerns (drainage, lighting, privacy, etc.). Planning staff also advised that the Transportation Services Department has reviewed the application and have no traffic concerns. ANALYSIS 1. Provincial Policy Statement/Provincial Growth Plan Provincial policy encourages residential intensification in order to make efficient use of existing servicing. This application is consistent with Provincial policy since it provides additional housing options for the City and makes use of existing services. Furthermore, the application proposes the reuse of a vacant commercial building for a use that is more compatible with the surrounding residential properties. Accordingly, Planning staff considers the application to be consistent with Provincial policy. 2. Official Plan The land is designated Residential in the Official Plan. The proposed development complies with the Official Plan as follows: - The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding residential uses. - The resulting density conforms with the anticipated density along an arterial road. - The appropriate land dedications (road widening and daylighting triangle) will be taken at the time of Site Plan Control. A holding symbol will be used to ensure the completion of a Record of Site Condition prior to issuing a Building Permit. 3. Zoning By -law The application requests a change of zoning from R1 B to Mixed Residential (R3) with site - specific regulations to recognize a reduce lot area, frontage, interior side September 11, 2012 -4- PD- 2012 -52 yard depth, exterior side yard depth and increase the amount of parking in a rear yard. The specific changes are noted in the table below: The applicant proposes to convert the existing building into a 3 -unit residential building. Since the building is existing, the interior side yard width and exterior side yard widths are already established. The additional reduction of the exterior side yard width to accommodate a porch is considered minor since it is necessary to provide access to two of the three units. To ensure that the main building does not further encroach into the exterior side yard, Planning staff propose that the By -law include a separate exterior side yard widths for the main building and the porch. The proposed lot area and frontage take into account the land dedications noted earlier in this report. Planning staff have no concerns with the reduced lot area and frontage since the site contains the required 4 parking spaces, maintains the minimum 30 percent landscaped open space and the existing building complies with the maximum 40 percent lot coverage. The increased parking area in the rear yard is necessary to provide the required 4 parking spaces. Parking is preferred in the rear yard since it allows for better traffic movement on the site than the existing parking in the front yard. In addition, the existing parking in the front yard is too close to the intersection of Dorchester Road and O'Neil Street. The asphalt in the front and exterior side yards will be removed and replaced with landscaping. This will be addressed through Site Plan Control. During the neighbourhood open house the neighbour to the north expressed concern about the parking area being located in the rear yard. Planning staff recommend that the By -law require a 1.8 metre (6 foot) high wood privacy fence be provided along all property lines within the rear yard. The applicant is amenable to this requirement. The specific details of the fencing (board spacing, type, etc.) will be addressed at the time of Site Plan Control. Required Proposed Minimum Lot Area 740 sq. m. (7965 sq. ft.) 622 sq. m. (6695 sq. ft.) Minimum Lot Frontage 22.5 m. (73.8 ft.) 13.9 m. (45.6 ft.) Minimum Interior Side Yard Width 3 m. (9.8 ft.) 1.4 m. (4.6 ft.) Minimum Exterior Side Yard Width 4.5 m. (14.7 ft.) 2.5 m. for the building (8.2 ft.) 0.7 m. for the porch (2.3 ft.) Maximum Area for Parking in a Rear Yard 40 sq. m. (430 sq. ft.) 157 sq. m. (1689.9 sq. ft.) The applicant proposes to convert the existing building into a 3 -unit residential building. Since the building is existing, the interior side yard width and exterior side yard widths are already established. The additional reduction of the exterior side yard width to accommodate a porch is considered minor since it is necessary to provide access to two of the three units. To ensure that the main building does not further encroach into the exterior side yard, Planning staff propose that the By -law include a separate exterior side yard widths for the main building and the porch.

During the neighbourhood open house the neighbour to the north expressed concern about the parking area being located in the rear yard. Planning staff recommend that the By -law require a 1.8 metre (6 foot) high wood privacy fence be provided along all property lines within the rear yard. The applicant is amenable to this requirement. The specific details of the fencing (board spacing, type, etc.) will be addressed at the time of Site Plan Control. September 11, 2012 - 5 - PD- 2012 -52 A Record of Site Condition is required before the change in use occurs because the subject property was previously used for commercial purposes. Accordingly, Planning staff recommend that an H symbol be added to the By -law. The H symbol would be removed upon confirmation that a Record of Site Condition has been filed and accepted by the Ministry of the Environment. Planning staff support the requested Zoning By -law amendment subject to the holding (H) provision noted above. The above zone regulations are in keeping with the intent of the Official Plan and are consistent with Provincial Policy. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposal is supported by the City's Official Plan in terms of a well planned City. In addition, the proposal is a reuse of a surplus legal non - conforming commercial property, which is supported by the Official Plan.

SITE PLAN STATISTICS KEY PLAN EXISTING BUILDING PROJECT DATA SUBJECT LAND Att. David DeLuce Building and Planning Dept. City Hall, 4310 Queen St. Niagara Falls, Ont. Re telephone conversation this a.m. concerning Zoning By -law Amendment — City File AM -2012 -009 We determined that the existing garage, partially shown, will be demolished. Hopefully, completely, including all foundations, all attached structures and a large evergreen... never seen before in this or previous application presentation. I noted that the dwelling partially shown to the east of the proposal site properly illustrates the required setback from the road allowance for O'Neil St. which I believe to be 40 feet and 6871 O'Neil was somehow built as a residence in violation of said setback. The residence has a porch hidden behind a wall built by Avondale when they purchased the store. If they choose to re- instate this porch they could argue that it has been grandfathered in but to use another 6' to 8' of setback that they aren't entitled to build on is ludicrous. The trees on the east property limit should be shown and their fate should stated by the owner. The current owner has not demonstrated that the property was maintained in a reasonable fashion while functioning as a store. Will a residence be any different? Good luck with snow removal. The curbs and sidewalks that were ramped in order to access the store by customers, delivery trucks etc. (presumably at taxpayers expense) should be returned to full height curbs and level sidewalks as soon as possible. They now represent a hazard as impatient drivers beat the fights by cutting through the corner. p s. Please notify the post office if this goes through. When a similar situation arose a 6870 Stamford Green Drive, They put up 3 separate mail boxes...all with 6870 on each box. And no way to determine whose mail box the mail goes into. I know because I sometimes get their mail. Regards Bryan Backshall 6870 O'Neil St. L2J 1N2 bbackshall cogeco.ca Fl F July 24, 2012 s JUL 2 4 2012 1. P``. -. ..�, PD- 2012 -54 Niagaraaalls September 11, 2012 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PD- 2012 -54 AM- 2011 -017, Zoning By -law Amendment Application 5818 Peer Street and 6062 -6076 Main Street Applicant: Ed and Ruth -Ann Nieuwesteeg Expansion of Patterson Funeral Home Parking Lot RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council approve the Zoning By -law amendment application to permit 5818 Peer Street to be used for commercial purposes and to permit the same lands together with 6062 -6076 Main Street to be used to provide required parking for the Patterson Funeral Home. 2. That Council pass a deeming by -law to deem Lot J, Plan 267 to no longer be within the registered plan of subdivision and thereby permit the land to merge in title with the abutting lot to the north to become one parcel. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The applicant has requested a zoning amendment to rezone 5818 Peer Street to General Commercial (GC) to allow it to be used for commercial purposes and to apply site specific regulations to the same lands together with 6062 -6076 Main Street to permit them to be used to provide required parking for the Patterson Funeral Home which is located on a portion of the lands. The amendment can be supported because: • 5818 Peer Street is designated Minor Commercial in the Official Plan; and although in different ownership, the lands are contiguous and the majority have been used for parking purposes in conjunction with the funeral home for many years. The passing and registration of a "deeming by -law" under the Planning Act for Lot J, Plan 267 will allow this parcel to merge with abutting land to the north to become one parcel. This will enable the land to be treated as one parcel for zoning and Building Code purposes. September 11, 2012 - 2 - PD- 2012 -54 BACKGROUND Proposal A Zoning By -law amendment is requested for a 427 square metre (4,596 square feet) parcel of land known as 5818 Peer Street and for 4876 square metres (1.2 acres) of land known as 6062 -76 Main Street (see Schedule 1). The application is to permit 5818 Peer Street to be used for commercial purposes and to permit all of the above noted lands to be used for required parking for the Patterson Funeral Home which is located on a portion of the site. Schedule 2 shows details of the proposal. 5818 Peer Street is currently zoned Residential Single Family and Two Family (R2), in accordance with By -law No. 79 -200 which only permits it to be used for residential purposes. The zoning of this property is requested to be changed to General Commercial (GC) to permit this property to be used for commercial purposes. 6062 -6076 Main Street (Patterson Funeral Home) are zoned General Commercial (GC and GC -617). A portion of these properties already have site specific regulations that allow parking for the funeral home to be provided on a portion of the lands. The applicant is requesting these site specific regulations to be applied to the whole of the lands. The applicant has concurrently requested the City pass a "deeming by -law" to deem Lot J, Plan 267 (south end of the property fronting onto Main Street) to not be in a plan of subdivision. This will allow this lot to merge with the lot to the north so that the funeral home building is situated on one lot. Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses The property known as 5818 Peer Street was originally occupied by a dwelling. This dwelling was recently demolished and the lot is now vacant. The property known as 6062- 6076 Main Street is occupied by the Patterson Funeral Home and associated parking. The lands to the north, west and south are used for commercial purposes and as parking for the Sylvia Place Market. The lands to east are used for residential purposes. Circulation Comments Information regarding the requested Zoning By -law amendment was circulated to City divisions, the Region, agencies and the public for comments. The following summarizes the comments received to date: Regional Municipality of Niagara No objections from a Provincial or Regional perspective. Municipal Works No objections to the rezoning. Currently no storm sewers exist on Peer Street to serve the proposed parking expansion. At the site plan stage site drainage will need to be designed to ensure storm water flows do not exceed pre development rates. September 11, 2012 - 3 - PD- 2012 -54 • Parks and Recreation, Transportation Services, Legal Services, Fire Services, Building Services, Niagara Falls Transit - No objections. Neighbourhood Open House A neighbourhood open house was held on August 9, 2012. No neighbours attended to hear about the proposal or to ask questions. ANALYSIS 1. Official Plan The subject lands are designated Minor Commercial in the Official Plan and are part of the Historic Drummondville Area. A wide range of retail outlets, personal service shops and offices are anticipated to serve a segment of the City. Consolidation of properties is encouraged to ensure functionally obsolescent structures are renovated or removed and a more efficient and intensive utilization of land is achieved. Lands in the Drummondville Area are encouraged to develop with a compact building form, close to the sidewalk, to maintain the existing pedestrian oriented environment. A minor expansion of the parking area for the funeral home is within the intent of the Official Plan for this area. 2. Zoning By -law The existing R2 zoning of 5818 Peer Street limits the use of the property to residential uses. The zoning of the property is requested to be changed to GC which would permit it to be used for commercial purposes. Although the GC zone permits a range of commercial uses, the applicant's intent is to use it as a parking area for the funeral home. This property is contiguous with GC zoned properties to the west and does not fragment the residential area. The zoning by -law requires the erection of fencing along lot lines that abut residential properties to mitigate impacts of commercial uses. The applicant has also requested the existing site specific regulations, which permit required parking for the funeral home to be provided on the balance of the properties, to be extended to the whole of the lands shown on Schedule 1. These regulations, introduced in a site specific by -law passed in 2003, already apply to the property save and except 5818 Peer Street and a small parcel of land that fronts onto Main Street. As some of the parcels are held under different ownership and cannot merge in title, the extension of these site specific parking provisions would allow required parking for the funeral home to be provided anywhere on the site. The funeral home has a surplus of parking according to current zoning provisions (15 spaces required versus about 75 spaces provided), however additional parking is needed to meet operational requirements. These parking provisions will become unnecessary and will be removable when all the parcels within the same ownership and title merge in the future. September 11, 2012 3. Deeming By -law - 4 - PD- 2012 -54 A portion of the lands (Lot J, Plan 267 at the south end of the property) is a whole lot in a plan of subdivision and therefore remains a separate parcel from the larger holdings despite being under the same ownership. This is a concern as it results in a lot line running through the funeral home building. If Lot J is deemed no longer to be within the registered plan of subdivision it will be able to be merged with the larger land holdings to the north and enable it to be treated as one large parcel for zoning and Building Code purposes because the ownership is the same. The applicant has requested the City pass a "deeming by -law" for Lot J, Plan 267. A deeming by -law removes the special status granted to whole lots within registered plans of subdivision for the purpose of subdivision control under the Planning Act. The registration of the applicant's requested by -law would merge the subject properties together in the same ownership name and allow them to be developed as one lot with a common parking area. This by -law will be brought to Council at the same time as the amending zoning by -law. 4. Site Plan Matters The majority of the lands are subject to a site plan agreement which regulates site works including site servicing, paving and landscaping. The agreement will need to be revised to address the construction of a parking lot on 5818 Peer Street. Matters such as access, paving, drainage, fencing and landscaping will be addressed through this process. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposal supports the Economic Vitality Strategic Priority in that it fosters the expansion of a local small business.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F- 2012 -41 2013 Budget Schedule RECOMMENDATION That Council choose Option 3 and direct staff to set up additional Council meetings in 2012 as required. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Council expressed frustration with the budget process during 2012 as the process went too long and budgets were approved well into the year. Staff have listened to concerns raised and have attempted to develop solutions to mitigate these areas. Staff believe that an improved budget process will result in achieving optimal decisions in a challenging budget environment. Council has the authority to deliberate the budget in a fashion that allows each member the opportunity for complete participation. Staff believes that adhering to dedicated times for budget discussions and enhanced departmental presentations will provide the solutions to the concerns raised. BACKGROUND Staff were asked to report on suggestions to improve the 2013 Budget process after receiving feedback of concerns relating to the process undertaken in 2012. This report is an opportunity for staff to review those concerns while offering improvements. Council's primary concerns were threefold: • length of time the process took in 2012 • the final approval of the budget occurring well into the year • a perceived lack of details provided by staff hindering Council to make optimal decisions ANALYSIS /RATIONALE This section of the report will address the concerns expressed by Council on the 2012 budget process and provide three options as solutions to these concerns. Length of Process The municipal budget process is lengthy. Prior to Council commencing their review, staff throughout the Corporation, have spent many hours compiling, reviewing and inputting the data into the budget module. This is reviewed departmentally and reviewed again by Senior Staff prior to Council's considerations. The majority of staff work in the budget September 11, 2012 - 2 - F- 2012 -41 process is completed with the production of the budget book. This document provides the detailed data supporting the budget and is provided to Council and Senior Staff. The next phase of the budget is Council's review. Staff agree with Council that this process was too lengthy and requires modification in approach. In staff's opinion, the considerable amount of time for this stage was caused by a variety of factors which included: missed deadlines by staff in preparation of budget lack of dedicated time in Council meetings for budget discussion with the majority of discussions held later in agenda occasional deferral of budget discussion to next meeting reduced frequency of meetings in 2012 Staff recommends that this phase of the budget process should be modified to ensure that Council has dedicated and consistent times established for Council's review of the budget data. Establishing set times and dates will allow better discussion, input and direction for Council and staff. Lack of Detail A concern raised was the lack of detail in the presentation of the budget. While it is true that the presentations made during the budget process were a consolidation of data based initially on large expenditure categories like wages, benefits, materials and debt costs. It is not correct to suggest that adequate detail was lacking. The budget binder provides detailed information on all expenditures and revenues for every responsibility centre. Staff recognize the concerns raised in this regard and suggest that additional time is required in the presentation of the data to ensure that there is a connection between the details in the budget binder and the presentations. Staff suggest that more detailed presentations along departmental lines be made to enable quality discussions on departmental issues. To accomplish this task, staff require more focussed and additional time allocation for budget in Council meetings. Staff further suggest that budget presentations be enhanced so as to allow more review at the departmental level versus the consolidated approach previously undertaken. Late Approval in Year The budget was approved March 27th which is the end of the first quarter of the year. This is consistent with other municipalities in the area but lags behind the Region of Niagara. Staff feel that it is prudent and possible to, after the presentations to allow for preliminary adoption of the expenditure budget by end of January. However, full approval of the taxation component of the budget will not be possible until later in the quarter. This upcoming year is a re- assessment year and this will result in changes in the assessment base for the City and Region. This data will not be finalized until December 31' of this year and as a result, it will not be possible to complete the taxation component until at least the middle of the 1' quarter of 2013. Staff believe that an enhanced budget process will result in budget approval at the earliest opportunity but that its not possible by year end. As indicated, the above review is a highlight of concerns forwarded to Senior Staff. Staff's review concludes that the majority of Council's concerns could be addressed by establishing separate Council sessions. September 11, 2012 - 3 - F- 2012 -41 The options are: Option 1 - Status Quo Hold budget meetings within existing Council schedule but dedicate a minimum of 3 hours to budget matters in addition to the regular Council agenda. Similarly, the Council meetings would need to be restructured to allow for budget matters to be addressed. In staff's opinion, this would provide Council adequate time to address budget matters, however, this would negatively impact the other agenda items, specifically planning matters and public meetings. Staff concur with Council feedback that this model has not been satisfactory and is not the suggested solution. Option 2 - Establish Separate Budget Committee This would require Council to establish a budget committee consisting of some or all members of Council. From a staff perspective, the normal procedure of developing the budget and senior management review, would be undertaken prior to the committee review. The budget committee review would be conducted on Non - Council sessions, would be open to the public but would not be televised. The review process would consist of detailed reviews by department of proposed expenditures and non -tax revenue generators. The budget committee could be empowered by Council to challenge staffs requests. After completing its review of the proposed expenditure budget, the committee would recommend to Council the appropriate course of action. It is suggested that this committee establish a schedule that would allow the budget expenditures to be reviewed by the end of the year. This option provides the Council with adequate time to review the budget in detail and to meet most of the concerns expressed. The one downfall is that the committee meetings while public, would not be televised. Option 3 - Establish Additional Council Meetings for 2012 In previous discussions on this matter, Council has indicated concerns with a committee approach. An alternative that would allow for discussion, would be to set up additional Council meetings. The current Council schedule provides openings during November and December for additional Council meetings primarily November 7th 21st and December 4th. Likewise, the schedule for January 2013 is yet to be determined. The establishment of additional meetings focussed primarily on budget matters would address the issue. The additional time would allow for detailed discussions and review on a departmental basis. FINANCIAL /STAFFING /LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Staff throughout the organization expend significant effort in developing a budget for Council's consideration and approval. Reducing the length of the budget deliberations by providing focussed discussion and review would allow staff to focus on other components of the services provided. The options presented tonight provide opportunities to allow Council more input while also allow staff a reasonable timetable for resolution. It should be noted that the last few years, staff have found operational savings while continuing to provide the same service levels to the public. This trend is not sustainable in the long term as pressure continues to increase and /or enhance service levels. A more thorough discussion and debate by Council will be beneficial to address these matters. September 11, 2012 - 4 - F- 2012 -41 The municipality has responsibility for two other budget approvals. Firstly, the Capital Budget must be approved annually. Staff developed a 10 year capital needs summary which is the foundation of the annual capital budget. This is being updated and a budget recommendation is scheduled for January 2013. Similarly, the municipality is responsible for two utility budgets which again, is scheduled for January 2013. A similar approach to the scheduling of the budget nights is recommended when the 2013 Council schedule is approved.

Clerks Department Inter - Department Memorandum TO: Mayor James M. Diodati DATE: September 11, 2012 & Members of City Council FROM: Dean Iorfida City Clerk Ext. 4271 RE: Lundy's Lane BIA Please see attached correspondence from various members of the Lundy's Lane BIA. Obviously, there is some contention within the BIA. Nonetheless, on July 17`h the BIA held an Annual General Meeting to pass their 2012 budget. The meeting was adjourned to August 7th to deal with the issue of members who had not attended the Board since being elected and amendments to their constitution. At the August 7th meeting, those in attendance approved constitutional amendments and appointed replacements to the Board members who had long - standing absences. As per the Municipal Act, Council is required to approve the replacements. RECOMMENDATION: For the Consideration of Council Working Together to Serve Our Community Dean, I am writing to request Councils approval of the list of directors that were voted on and elected at the reconvened AGM meeting of the Lundy's Lane BIA on August 7th 2012. The Lundy's Lane BIA held their Annual General Meeting on July 17th, 2012 according to protocol outlined in our Constitution. Several members of the BIA were in attendance and among other items, voiced concern over the fact that there were at least 5 board members that rarely, if ever showed up for the monthly board and general membership meetings since being elected in March of 2011 (18 months prior). This led to numerous meetings being cancelled due to lack of quorum as well as inhibiting any work from being accomplished. Based on a suggestion made by our council representative Janice Wing, it was voted on and approved by the General Membership in attendance at the AGM, that the meeting be suspended and reconvened at a later date. This decision was made in order to allow our chair, Navin Shahani, sufficient time to send letters advising the agreed upon members of their failure to attend meetings and to notify them that they were in contravention of the constitution which states that "any board member that misses 3 or more meetings can be deleted at an AGM ". This notification was to be completed by that Friday, July 20th. This would allow 10 days to receive a response prior to the continuation of the suspended meeting which we voted and unanimously agreed, would be held on August 7th at 5pm. Navin Shahani (Chair), Ross Barr(Vice- Chair), Veena Shahani (Treasurer), and Arvind Vyas were in attendance and agreed to this date and time. For the record, this was not the first time that the board and general membership passed motions for our Chair to send notification to the absent board members. On August 7th, fifteen BIA members including our Council representative attended the reconvened AGM meeting as was scheduled. We did so in good faith in an effort to improve the progress of the functioning of the Board and in an effort to provide to the Board with persons who are interested in and dedicated to working towards the betterment of the entire BIA. In spite of the fact that the current Board's Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer chose not to attend the previously agreed upon reconvening of the AGM, there were actually more BIA members in attendance at the second meeting than there were at the first. If our Board's chair chose to not notify parties that he deemed to be interested in the matters at hand, including and in particular those Board Members that were at risk of being removed, it cannot be considered to be the fault of those persons that did attend. Not only did our Chair completely ignore numerous emails and phone calls from myself and other Board and BIA members, the chair actually did not even book a meeting room for the motioned and approved time and date. Again, this is not the first time that voted on matters have been ignored by our Chair. Additionally, the board and general members in attendance at the July 17th AGM did not receive any notice from the Chair that the meeting was cancelled or postponed. The minutes as recorded by Janice state the outcome of the meeting. (see attached) I respectfully request that Council approve the following list of Directors as were voted at the August 7th reconvened AGM meeting: 1. Marjorie Ruddy, Canada One Outlet Mall 2. Maureen Cade, Best Western Cairn Croft Hotel 3. Lisa Thompson, KOA Campgroud 4. Wayne Kretz, Oh Canada Eh! 5. Frances Berry, Expressions Flowers & Gifts 6. Lisa Tokuc, Ramada (voted on at previous general meeting) Three of the six individuals have proven track records of active involvement in the BIA, all are passionate about the area, attend and provide input to the board and represent a broad spectrum of the BIA business composition and geographic location within the two mile span. They came out to the AGM and let their names stand so that we can accomplish the initiatives that were discussed in the past but that have fallen to the wayside in the last 18 months. Important matters that have been neglected and ignored include, street signage, updated website, marketing collateral, brochures, maps, lighting displays, constitutional changes and most importantly, communication to the membership. These new Directors are ready and willing to step up to the plate, to fill a void that currently exists on our Board due to extremely poor attendance. They are energized and excited about making progress within our BIA. They are prepared to fairly and without prejudice represent the entire membership to help all of the diverse businesses within our BIA to coexist in an improved environment both aesthetically as well as from a marketing perspective as is the mandate of all designated BIA's within Ontario ... we truly need your approval of this elected list in order to get our BIA back to working toward this goal.

Carried. Mark assumed the Chair for the remainder of the meeting. 2) Absentee Board members: Len Cade raised the matter of delinquent Board members, the item during which the AGM had been suspended. He referred to the provisions in the Constitution for chronically absent members to be replaced at an AGM. Janice Wing noted that she had two amendments with regards to this matter that she had prepared in conjunction with the City Clerk, and read these aloud. She noted her intention to move the two proposed amendments. It was moved by Len Cade, seconded by Marjory Ruddy, that Inderpal Handra, David Khouran, Indris Butt, Baljit Singh Sheena and Hardev Dhillon be deleted from the Board. Carried. 3) Amendments to the Constitution: Len perceives a need to amend the Constitution to address Board composition. He would like to ensure a cross - section of businesses being represented on the Board. He also believes that proxies should not be allowed at any meeting (Board or General) of the BIA; it has been strongly suggested by the City that this shouldn't be allowed. It was moved by Len Cade, seconded by Janice Wing, that proxy votes are not permitted at any BIA meetings. Carried. Tish DiBellonia sought clarification that businesses were still permitted to appoint representatives. It was clarified that this was a different matter. Janice noted that appointed representatives are regularly involved in the Main & Ferry BIA on the understanding that should the actual owner of the business or property attend a meeting, he /she would take precedence over the appointed representative. Fran Berry suggested that an official form be developed for the appointment of a representative and that those whom have appointed a representative should be kept apprised of upcoming agenda items. 4) Vacant seats: Acting Chair Mark Cahill took the following nominations for the five vacant Board seats: Marjorie Ruddy was nominated by Tish DiBellonia. Maureen Cade was nominated by Len Cade, Wayne Kretz was nominated by Tish DiBellonia. Tony Vommero was nominated by Marjorie Ruddy. Lisa Thompson was nominated by Fran Berry. Janice noted the City Clerk had advised her that members who wished to stand for the Board should be at the AGM in person. She noted that the Main & Ferry BIA has allowed members who are unable to attend the AGM due to prior commitments to stand if they have provided a written expression of interest in a Board position, and is open to flexibility here as well. She questioned whether Maureen Cade, not being present, had at least provided a written expression of interest in standing for the Board. This had not been provided. A number of members present indicated their confidence that Maureen Cade, who had been at the AGM prior to its suspension, intended to stand. Mark called for further nominations. It was moved by Jock Ainslie, seconded by Ron Rosinski, that the nominations be closed. Carried. Mark declared the five named above acclaimed and welcomed them to the board. 5) Past Chair position: Discussion arose regarding the voting rights of the Past Chair. Fran Berry advised that the City Clerk had told her that if she was sitting on the Board se should be able to vote. Janice Wing advised that the Clerk had questioned this position and suggested that if the immediate past chair had interest in serving again in a different capacity, he /she should stand for such a position. Janice was asked for the rationale behind this alleged advice and recited the following from memory: The change in term of office from three years to four has made this an eight -year commitment (four years as Chair plus four more as Past Chair). The intent was presumably to ensure continuity from one Board to the next, but it would be exceedingly rare for there to be no members continuing, so the position is unnecessary. There is no provision for such a continuance in The Municipal Act and a municipality could, in theory, be replaced with an entirely new Council. The Board should be held to the same standard as the municipal council. Tony Vommero offered to step down in order to create room for Fran Berry on the BIA Board. Tony tendered his resignation. It was moved by Tish DiBellonia, seconded by Len Cade, to appoint Fran Berry to the newly vacated seat. Carried. The matter of the Past Chair position is to be discussed by the Board. 6) Further amendments: Len introduced the matter of unauthorized absences of Board members and advised he had prepared a motion regarding this issue. Janice reminded the Board that she had a motion, prepared with the assistance of the City Clerk, which she had already presented and indicated an intention to move when there was not already a motion on the floor. She was asked to reread the motions she wished to present. It was moved by Len Cade, seconded by Janice Wing that section 2.5 of the Constitution (Vacancies and Additions) be amended to read: "When a vacancy occurs from any cause, the Board shall appoint a person qualified who shall hold office for the remainder of the term for which his predecessor was appointed. Newly appointed Board members must be approved by City Council." Carried. It was moved by Janice Wing, seconded by Marjorie Ruddy, that section 5.1 of the Constitution (Attendance) be amended to read: "A board member's seat automatically becomes vacant if they miss (3) consecutive board meetings without written explanation or authorization of the board." Carried. 7) Concerns with present Executive: Len advised of his belief that a discussion of the Executive needs to take place. Among other things, he is concerned with the possibility the property that the current Chair represents may have been sold. Tish suggested "non- confidence" and noted a lack of Board members in attendance at meetings, motions approved by the Board not being followed through on, and the fact that the Chair hadn't booked a room for today's AGM continuation despite this time and date having been set prior to the AGM being suspended a couple of weeks earlier. Len noted there was no Secretary present today and that there had been an 8 -10 month delay in producing previous minutes. [Note: Janice Wing had begun taking minutes as the meeting was called to order, and Marjorie Ruddy was tape- recording the proceedings.] Mark Cahill noted his concerns with the timing of the release of cheques to suppliers. He also noted that he had recently been advised that there were displays in storage at Classic Displays that were supposed to have been picked up six months ago. Fran Berry is concerned that procedures are not being followed. She advised that important information is not being passed on to the Board and membership. Tish noted she is constantly receiving calls from agencies (e.g. NTC, CTM, AAA, CAA) unable to reach the hair. Fran noted she has received the same calls. Tish and others noted that the Chair has not been returning their calls. It was moved by Len Cade, seconded by Marjorie Ruddy, that the effectiveness of the Executive be discussed at the next Board meeting. Carried. 8) Lundy's Lane Battlefield Projects: Dr. Jock Ainslie advised that he had been one of the original proponents of a walkway feature to connect the north and south sides of Lundy's Lane in the Lundy's Lane battlefield area. He noted that the walkway is not currently needed, whereas funds to preserve an important part of the battlefield as parkland are needed. Without the parkland, the walkway won't ever be needed. Fran Berry asked if he was suggesting the BIA redirect the $150,000 committed to the Walkway project. Marjorie noted her concern about whether a BIA can redirect funds and stated her opinion that more information was needed on this. Janice Wing declared a conflict of interest because she is on the Friends of the Lundy's Lane Battlefield board and owns property abutting the proposed parkland. She noted as a piece of general information that the Main & Ferry BIA had recently redirected funds from one project to another. There was a consensus that this needed to be discussed and voted on at the board level. Len Cade suggested to Jock that the project in question is so important that he should get the deadline for raising funds extended. Tish advised that a Board meeting needs to be set up. The date chosen was Tuesday, August 21 at 10:00 am. 9) Adhournment: It was moved by Marjorie Ruddy, Seconded by Fran Berry, that the meeting be adjourned. The meeting was adjourned at 6:02 pm.

"Navin Shahani* Chair, LLBIA August 14, 2012 Navin Shahani Chairman Lundy's Lane Business Improvement Area Dear Navin Shahani, It has been brought to the attention of the members of the Lundy's Lane BIA that on August 07, 2012 a general gathering for Lundy's Lane BIA was held at the MacBain Centre at 5:OOpm. For this gathering, it should be noted that NO PUBLIC NOTICE was given to the General Membership which is required by the Municipal Act and your own BIA Constitution. Mr. Shahani, it is noted that you were not in attendance at this particular gathering. Is it not the role of the Chair to preside at all meetings of the Lundy's Lane BIA, according to the Constitution? Section 2.3 of the Lundy's Lane BM Constitution states: The Chair shall preside at all meetings of the Board of Management and any meeting of the General Membership of the Business Improvement Area. The Chair is responsible for approving all Board expenditures and shall be considered the signing authority for all correspondence and recommendations from the Board to City Council. The Chair shall also prepare an agenda for all meetings of the Board. The Chair shall oversee the general management of the affairs and operations of the Board and the Business Improvement Area During the absence or the inability of the Chair, his duties and powers may be exercised by the Vice -Chair or such other member of the Board that the Board may appoint for that purpose. Section 6.5 of the Lundy's Lane BIA Constitution states: Location of Meetings The Chair of the Board shall determine the location of general meetings. Notice to all Board and B.I.A. members is required at least fourteen days prior to the meeting. Mr. Shahani, it is also noted that the Vice Chair, Ross Barr, the Treasurer, Veena Shahani, the Secretary, Arvind Vyas and eight other Directors were not present at the gathering held on August 07, 2012. We believe it is safe to say that you and these other Board members had no knowledge of the proceedings held on August 07, 2012. At this gathering, according to the minutes, representatives of properties that have not yet been assessed by MPAC, attended and voted According to the BIA constitution and the Municipal Act, these representatives having not yet been assessed are not members therefore unable to vote. Changes made to the Municipal Act, ensure that meetings held by municipal councils and local boards must reflect openness and transparency. All meetings are subject to procedural rules. For example, public notice must be given of upcoming meetings. According to the Lundy's Lane BIA Constitution, 14 days' notice must be given for all General Membership Meetings. No notice was given to the membership. At this gathering, further to its contravention of the Municipal Act and the BIA Constitution, five Directors of the Board were removed based on missing three consecutive meetings. On August 07, 2012, letters were sent to you indicating that these five board members were not the only members of the Board to miss three consecutive meetings. The letter indicated that Janice Wing, City Council Representative and Frances Berry, Ex Officio have been granted immunity by some members after missing three consecutive meetings. Inderpal Hansra, Indrus Butt, David Khurana, Hardev Dhillon, and Baljit Singh Chhina have been removed from their Council approved positions at the gathering held on August 07, 2012. Immunity for the same contraventions against the BIA Constitution has been granted to Janice Wing and Frances Berry. Janice Wing has been appointed by City Council to act as the Lundy's Lane BIA representative. This appointment by City Council does not allow for her to miss three consecutive meetings. She is not above the Constitution and like any other Board member, should be held to the same standard. Section 3.2 of the BIA Constitution reads; the immediate Past Chair shall sit as an ex officio member of the Board of Management. The Past Chair shall provide continuity and assist the Board as required. Frances Berry, with the position she holds as Ex- Officio, the Constitution documents her as a Board member, Her purpose is to help the newly elected Board's transition. She has failed in her role as Ex- Officio based on just that one purpose of helping the new Board's transition with her lack of presence. This however, is not grounds for dismissal. Missing three consecutive meetings is. The question we must ask is why some Board members are being selectively removed and other Board members granted immunity for the same contraventions to the BMA Constitution? Canadian Law protects all people from discrimination. The Ontario Human Rights Code specifically states that it is against the law to discriminate against based on race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, religion, marital status, family status, physical or mental disability, sex, sexual orientation, age or because of unrelated criminal convictions, This includes volunteers even though they are not classified as employees. However, some non - profit organizations may be exempt from some of the human rights provisions. For example organizations, which promote the interests of a particular group, may be exempt when it comes to granting a preference to someone from that group. Generally however, it is better for organizations to act without discrimination and assume that protection from discrimination extends to any activity or service of the organization. This includes a duty not to discriminate when selecting volunteers and participants, protecting them both from discrimination once they have been selected and taking reasonable steps to prevent or stop discrimination when it occurs. Organizations must also remember that they have a legal duty to reasonably accommodate individuals. This means that organizations may need to change policies and procedures that are discriminatory based on, for example, race, colour or place of origin. The onus is on the organization to make reasonable attempts to accommodate, by correcting or changing any policies, procedures or activities, which discriminate. An organization may need to show that it made reasonable efforts to accommodate a person up to the point of where they encountered financial hardship or some other serious issue prevented the accommodation from going further. Mr. Shahani, at this same gathering on August 07, 2012, an acting Chair was appointed by the General membership which again is in contravention to the Lundy's Lane Charter. Section 3.1 of the Constitution clearly states "During the absence or the inability of the Chair, his duties and powers may be exercised by the Vice -Chair or such other member of the Board that the Board may appoint for that purpose." Mr. Shahani, on August 07, 2012 only three members of the Lundy's Lane BIA Board of Directors were present. As you already know, quorum for this BIA is eight. Quorum of the Board of Management was not attainable therefore, the Board appointing a member of the Board to act as Chair for the purposes of moving forward on August 07, 2012 was impossible and not carried out according to the Lundy's Lane BiA Constitution. Mr. Shahani, at that gathering on August 07, 2012 nominations for vacant positions of the Board of Management were taken by the acting Chair, Mark Cahill, who was appointed by the General Membership, not the Board of Management, for that particular gathering. The nominations were as follows: Marjorie Ruddy nominated by Tish DiBellonia Maurine Cade nominated by Len Cade Wayne Kretz nominated by Tish DiBellonia Tony Vommero nominated by Marjorie Rudy Lisa Thomson nominated by Fran Berry Mr. Shahani, according to the Lundy's Lane BIA Constitution, Section 1.5 "Where a vacancy occurs from any cause, the Board of Management` shall appoint a person qualified who shall hold office for the remainder of the term for which his predecessor was appointed. This position can only be filled at a General Membership Meeting following same election process as described in paragraph 3. Paragraph 3 or Section 1.3 of the Constitution states 'The Board of Management shall prepare a full slate of person, which the Board has by vote decided to recommend to the Council as members for the succeeding term of the Board of Management. The Nomination Chair shall be provided with the slate of previous aforesaid prepared by the Board of Management and thereafter request that further nominations are made of persons wishing to be appointed to the Board of Management from any of the members of the B.I.A. When all nominations have been received, the Chair shall close the nominations and proceed to conduct a vote to determine the persons who will be recommended to the Council as members of the next Board of Management. After the vote the Nomination Chairman shall advise the Board of Management of the persons to be recommended and the Board of Management shall in writing so advise the Council." Clearly, a slate of nominees was not prepared by the Board of Management as indicated in the minutes of August 07, 2012 and the election of officers conducted at the gathering on August 07, 2012 is again in contravention to the Lundy's Lane BIA Constitution. Mr. Shahani, in the past you have spoken about the democratic process. Do we not live in a democratic society where notice of nominations and an electoral process is paramount? Or as it seems, do we live in a society where the electorate is kept poorly informed for the purposes of another individual or group moving forward, charged in their cause of taking office? As it seems, with the lack of notice for nominations and elections process held at the 'closed' gathering on August 07, 2012, we must live in the latter society. The dictionary defines "election" as: The right or ability to make a choice. Why have we not been given the right to make a choice as to who we want to represent us at the BIA Board level? Mr. Shahani, the Lundy's Lane BIA's openness, transparency and above all, credibility is in dire jeopardy. As you have already understood, this letter is in protest to the activities conducted by certain members of this Board and General membership of recent. As the August 07, 2012 gathering was unofficial in so many ways, it should be brought forward by you, our elected Chair, to the City Clerk and all members of City Council, including Janice Wing, that the appointment of these five "newly elected" members should not be ratified at the next City Council meeting on September 11, 2012 as outlined in Section 2.5 of the Lundy's Lane BIA Constitution 'Newly elected Board Members must be approved by City Council ", due to the many contraventions of both the Municipal Act and Lundy's Lane BIA Constitution, noted above. Instead, appropriate procedural action must be taken in the process of filling vacant positions where Directors have missed three or more consecutive meetings. Sincerely, Lundy's Lane General Membership Members signed below; tl T‘YC-, (9/6/2012) Dean Iorfida - Re: LLBIA Page 1 From: "N.

Date: 8/20/2012 6:41 PM Subject: Re: LLBIA *Hi Tish,* Regarding your e -mail of 1:56pm this afternoon. I have returned several of your phone calls with no success of reaching you. As a matter of fact I too have sent to you a text message on the 13th of August at 3:23pm stating "Just called you back ", "Call back when available ". I never received a phone call in return since. Regarding my absence on August 07, 2012 at the "gathering" which it has now been coined. I have been unavailable for the late part of July and a week and a half into August. I think as volunteers of an organization we are entitled to some time away? Irregardless of my absence, if you recall at the meeting on July 17, 2012, the purpose of the suspension of that AGM was for myself, the Chair, to send out 'notice' to the members of the Board that have been consistently delinquent from Board meetings throughout the year. We would then reconvene on the *tentative* date, August 07, 2012 provided that we had the adequate information and /or resignation letters in order to move forward in filling the vacated positions through the appropriate measures outlined in this organization's governing by -laws. If you recall, it was your motion along with Mark Cahill at an earlier Board meeting that placed a stipulation /deadline for me to complete this task, Friday, July 20, 2012. We would then grant these members time (10 business days) to indicate their intentions and carry forth from that point_ This is what fair, open and transparent Boards do - allow people to be accountable. We do not know what the person's situation is, we do not know if they have been receiving appropriate information or misinformation. We simply cannot as a local Board throw elected people, rubber stamped by City Council away, can we? If they do not respond to our inquiry in the time frame allotted then naturally we would hold them in contempt and move forward provided the time was granted to them to give their explanation. The gathering you have attended along with two other Board members, one being Janice Wing, City Council Representative was not a meeting that I, the Chair, called. According to our by -laws, the Chair shall preside at any and all meetings of the Board and General Membership. In the event that the Chair cannot attend or perform his role as Chair, his powers would be passed on to the Vice Chair, who also, in this case was not in attendance. In an event as such, the Board of Management shall appoint an acting Chair for that meeting, only. In the case of August 07, 2012, three members of the Board of Management do not make up the quorum for the LLBIA Board. Thus, three board members could in no way appoint Mark Cahill as acting Chairman for the August 07, 2012 gathering since quorum of the board is eight. *Thus, making any and all further proceedings on August 07, 2012 VOID.* You speak of disrespect in your e -mail of earlier today regarding myself not returning your attempted communications. Is it not sheer disrespect to an organization of whom you are a Director of its Board of Management to be negligent in abiding by the by -laws set out in the organization's Constitution? Maybe the Constitution was written to be broken by a few (9/6/2012) Dean lorfida - Re: LLBIA Page 2 Board members and a few invited General Members. Tish, when we were elected by the General Membership in 2011, we were entrusted to follow the guidelines and provisions laid out in the Constitution by the people of Lundy's Lane. Intentions seem to have been misplaced over the last year. With regard to a salesman by the name of Corey Dalling from CAA/AAA. Understand that he is an agent of a company who is trying to sell this organization something, Something that may or may not benefit the organization as a whole. But that is not for me or you to determine. It is for the Board to determine. Mr. Dalling is in attempt to sell advertising space for the 2013 fiscal year. For your information, the budget that was just passed in July was for 2012. Payment for 2012 has yet to be made, therefore, it is reflecting in our 2012 Budget. The 2013 -14 expenditure has yet to be determined and approved by the Board of Management and the General Membership, and therefore, signing contracts for the following year is beyond my reach as Chair. The excuse every year that I have been hearing is "well, we are tied to it because we signed the contract last year..." It may have been the provision of Past Chairs or General Managers to extend beyond what their mandate was, however, I cannot do so. As well, I do not want to not mention that Mr. Dalling seems to have called the entire membership in hopes to have this contract signed for the 2013 -2014 season. Mr. Dalling, during my time away managed to catch me on the phone for a brief moment where he suggested that he was told that the expenditure for 2013 had already previously been approved in the budget. I am not saying I am good with numbers however, I do believe that 2012 and 2013 share an approximate difference of 365 calendar days therefore, I ask myself who would have given him the impression that the 2013 budget had already been approved? Regarding the meeting of the Board you are inviting me to, tomorrow. Did I miss something? Is my position not the Chairman of the Lundy's Lane Business Improvement Area? Again, is it not my role to call and preside at any and all meetings of the Board? * I do not recall at any stage giving notice to the rest of the Board that there was a meeting being held on August 21, 2012 *. I have not set an agenda. And quite frankly, the "new Board Members" that the group who met on August 07, 2012 seems to think they have elected, *has yet to be ratified by City Council *. This of course being another stipulation set out in the Lundy's Lane Business Improvement Area's Constitution. To answer your question regarding tomorrow's gathering, *I will not be in attendance.* Regards, *Navin Shahani* CHAIR, LLBIA *P.s. I would highly recommend the Lundy's Lane BIA Constitution as a weekend reader.* (9/6/2012) Dean lorfida - Re: LLBIA Page 3 DISCLAIMER: The information in this message is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Working Together to Serve Our Community 4323 Queen Street, Niagara Falls, ON, L2E 2K7 Email: eommunitvartistsniagaraigmail .com Phone: 289 969 4229 August 6, 2012 Urgent Letter to Jim Diodatti and Niagara Falls City Councilors Community Artists Niagara Needs a New Location A burst pipe in an upstairs apartment resulted in a catastrophic flood of Community Artists Niagara (CAn) gallery space in late July. CAn lost music instruments, equipment and art because the pipe was located immediately above our performance stage. We do not believe we will be reimbursed by insurance. Keefer Developments needs to repair and renovate the gallery space; they have asked us to move out by the end of August. CAn urgently needs a new location. We are asking you to assist us to find that new location and a funding scenario to make it happen. We do not currently have the money for rent or utilities but we do provide significant value to Queen Street. We are the `Explore' in `Eat, Shop and Explore'. The Ontario Trillium Foundation has funded an artist -in- residence series managed by CAn. Each month until January we will have a new, established, artist working and creating on Queen Street. Our first two artists -in- residence have increased gallery visits and resulted in positive media coverage for Queen Street. As part of our application to the Trillium Foundation, a letter of support from Jim Diodatti said that the City would ensure we had a rent and utilities free location. Phil Ritchie's (Keefer) letter said that CAn was an important anchor to Queen Street and they were committed to keeping us on the street. Our August artist -in- residence cannot work in our current space, and although Lyndesfarne Theatre Projects has graciously loaned us some lobby space, it is unsuitable for an artist -in- residence. We need our own space, and quickly. The fact is, the Trillium funding and this program is in jeopardy unless we can find a suitable space for the artists to work in, and for the public to visit as per our agreement with Trillium. CAn cannot hold its Culture Days art and music event downtown, painting classes and other programs without a location and washrooms. We ask the City to immediately coordinate a resolution with local business leaders and find us a new location on Queen Street. CAn is working to improve its financial position. We are revitalizing our Board, improving communications and writing grants. We are working to develop a new business model which will help provide financial support. But the fact is, in Canada, and particularly in economically stressed regions, arts organizations only exist with public funding. We are open to your ideas and suggestions about how to make our artists' organization self- sufficient and provide a better value proposition to a future landlord. In the long term, we will be asking the City to examine its funding of arts and culture programs, but for now, we need immediate assistance. We are asking for meetings with the City and local business persons. Since we cannot pay rent or utilities, the City could give a landlord who is willing to host us rent free, property tax forgiveness, and fund us to cover utilities. There might be other ways to solve this problem, and we are asking for your help to find those ways. Thank you for your consideration of this urgent problem. Please contact us as soon as possible.

Dean Iorfida City Clerk City of Niagara Falls 4310 Queen Street Niagara Falls L2E 6X5 Aug. 10th, 2012 Dean, I would like to propose that council please consider amending the lease agreement regarding the billboard sign located on the City parking lot at Ontario St. and Bender Hill in order to bring the lease cost in line with current market value. Also the current lease does not reflect that the sign is only one sided. In view of this I would like the annual rent to be reduced to $2,400.00, which is still above the current market value for a similar location. I have attempted to have staff adjust this amount over the past few years so I would ask that this new rate be retro - active. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this matter.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F- 2012 -38 Monthly Tax Receivables Report F- 2012 -38 September 11, 2012 RECOMMENDATION That Council receive the Monthly Tax Receivables report for information purposes. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is prepared monthly to provide Council with an update on the City's property tax receivables. Outstanding taxes as of July 31, 2012 were $18.5 million compared to $20.6 million in 2011. During July, tax receivables as a percentage of taxes billed decreased from 34.2% in 2011 to 32.6% in 2012. The City's finance staff has had continued success in resolving properties that are subject to registration for 2012. At this stage, 78.6% of properties have developed payment arrangements or have paid in full. There are currently thirteen properties scheduled for tax sale in the next two years. BACKGROUND This report is being provided as part of the monthly financial reporting to Council by staff. It is also submitted to our banking institution for compliance with our banking agreement. ANALYSIS /RATIONALE Tax collection for 2012 improved during the month of July. Table 1 shows that taxes outstanding at July 31, 2012 are $18.5 million. This represents a decrease from $20.6 million in arrears for the same period in 2011. Finance staff continues to actively pursue property owners in arrears. Table 2 provides the breakdown of outstanding taxes by assessment class. The majority of outstanding taxes are for residential and commercial properties. The chart shows that the taxes owing from the commercial property class have decreased from a year ago, whereas the residential property class has increased. Finance staff takes specific collection actions for properties that are subject to registration. These action steps have been outlined in previous reports. At January 1, 2012, 403 properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of these actions after seven months of activity. This table shows 78.6% of the tax accounts or 317 properties have been paid in full orthe owners have made suitable payment arrangements. During July, nine accounts were paid in full. In addition, the number of accounts with suitable payment arrangements including full payments increased from 75.9% (June) to 78.6% (July). September 11, 2012 - 2 - F- 2012 -38 Finance staff continues to make every effort to have accounts paid in order to avoid the registration process and the associated costs related to that process. Table 4 identifies the properties and associated tax arrears scheduled for tax sales in the future. During the month of July, there was no change in the number of registered properties. The outstanding taxes for registered properties represent 1.9% of the total outstanding taxes at month end. FINANCIAL /STAFFING /LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Tax arrears as a percentage of taxes billed in a year is a performance measure that stakeholders utilize to analyse an organization's financial strengths. Niagara Falls, due to its high reliance on commercial assessment, is traditionally higher compared to municipalities of similar size. The percentage of taxes outstanding to taxes billed as at July 31, 2012 is 32.6% which is a decrease from 2011's value of 34.2 %. The municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to offset the higher measure.

Niagara to issue debentures on behalf of the City of Niagara Falls, totalling $2,032,019 for the Niagara Falls Historical Museum project. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City's request for debenture financing is for a project completed this year. The use of debenture financing was identified and approved in prior years' Capital budgets. The total required debenture is $2,032,019. BACKGROUND The City, as a lower tier municipality, cannot issue its own debentures but rather requests the Region of Niagara to issue the debt on behalf of the City. The Region of Niagara required direction from the City to proceed with issuing debentures on our behalf. The City is requesting that the Region proceed utilizing Infrastructure Ontario. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The amount required for the debenture is $2,032,019. This amount was identified in the 2012 approved Capital budget. This debenture issue has been factored into previous reports to Council regarding the project. Based on 2012 repayment schedules, the outstanding debt as at December 31, 2012 will be $71.4 million. This is down from $75.6 million at December 31, 2011. Council approved an additional amount of $3.9 million based on this debt management strategy. These projects are not complete at this time and as such staff do not recommend issuing debentures.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW- 2012 -46 2012 New Sidewalk and Sidewalk Replacement Program RECOMMENDATION That the 2012 New Sidewalk and Sidewalk Replacement Programs be approved and the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary contract documents within the funding limits prescribed in this report. ; with the addition of the south side of Murray Street between Stanley Avenue and Main Street included. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Niagara Falls Council has recognized the importance of providing pedestrian opportunities in achieving its Strategic Priorities of Convenient Accessible and Sustainable Transportation options and a Healthy and Safe Community. Sidewalk and trail facilities provide environmentally friendly choices for both residents and tourists accessing commercial establishments and places of employment. It is important to develop a proactive strategy that will ensure that the construction of new sidewalks and the timely replacement of existing sidewalks will service the community in a long term and sustainable manner. The annual "New Sidewalk Program" targets those areas of the community where the connectivity of the sidewalk infrastructure is incomplete or has missing links that are in need of joining due to growth in that area. This program is typically funded from Development Charge revenues. The annual "Sidewalk Replacement Program" targets those sections of existing sidewalk that do not meet the Minimum Maintenance Standards and cannot be reasonably repaired or modified sufficiently to improve the safety of the public. While the funding for the New Sidewalk Program has typically been around $125,000 annually the Sidewalk Replacement Program has had wide - ranging levels of investment. There is considerable risk to the Corporation by not having an established policy guideline for the replacement of sidewalks. The purpose of this report is to consider a proposed strategy for the New Sidewalk and Sidewalk Replacement programs for this year and to authorize staff to proceed with the tendering any construction of the identified works up to the funding levels prescribed in this report. September 11, 2012 BACKGROUND - 2 - MW- 2012 -46 The City of Niagara Falls has approximately 840 km2 of concrete sidewalk. The established service life for sidewalks is 40 years. Approximately 45% of the City's sidewalk has no service life left. This represents an infrastructure replacement cost of over $22 million. Based on an average expenditure of $400,000 it would take over 50 years to remove the backlog. This investment is clearly not affordable and as a result annual condition inspections are needed to identify those sections that are in immediate need of repair and to prioritize their replacement. On August 9, 2010 City Council adopted the recommendation contained in report MW- 2010-32 with respect to the establishment for Municipal Maintenance Standards for sidewalks under Ontario Regulation 239/02. "The minimum standard for the frequency of inspecting sidewalks to check for surface discontinuity is once per year. For surface discontinuities that exceed two centimeters, the minimum standard is to treat the sidewalk within 14 days after becoming aware of the fact. "Surface Discontinuity" means a vertical discontinuity creating a step formation at joints or cracks in the surface of the sidewalk." A city -wide Sidewalk Inspection Program began in 2011 with an inventory of all sidewalks being maintained by the Municipal Works Department which includes history of inspections, construction, and maintenance information. For the purposes of the Sidewalk Inspection Program the City is divided into eight areas. Inspection of the entire City begins in April of each calendar year following the Sidewalk Sweeping Program and ends in mid - November or later, weather permitting. Sidewalk sections are rated in one of three categories; Priority 1: Locations that have a condition of Very Poor or any location which the Inspector considers to be an immediate serious safety concern. Action: The area will be marked with purple paint, and the Construction Supervisor will be notified immediately for an assessment. The area will be made safe as soon as practical taking into account weather and crew or contractor availability. If there is a substantial delay, the deficiency will be clearly marked so it is easily identified or the sidewalk will be closed. Priority 2: Locations that have a condition of Poor to Average or where the Inspector determines that the problem is not an immediate safety concern. Action: The area will be marked with purple paint, and the Construction Supervisor will receive a report on the deficiency once scheduled inspections are completed. The area will be made safe as soon as practical based on crew availability, budget constraints and environmental factors. These repairs may be delayed until a crew is working in the area. Priority 3: Locations that have a condition of Fair or New or where the Inspector determines that the problem is not a safety concern. September 11, 2012 - 3 - MW- 2012 -46 Action: A report of the deficiency will be submitted to the Construction Supervisor once scheduled inspections are complete and noted as "no action required ". These repairs may be delayed for several years but monitored each year, until the deficiency exceed the minimum maintenance standard and requires action. Staff presently inspect the entire City sidewalks annually at a cost of $13,000 to $15,000 per year. This annual cost is for inspections only (labour, vehicle, equipment costs based on 62 inspection days). Priority 1 sections are measured and incorporated into the annual Sidewalk Replacement Program. If due to preferential pricing or additional funding becomes available those sections rated as Priority 2 will be considered on the basis of "worst first ". In addition to those sidewalks in poor condition the City has a number of sidewalks that are undersized relative to today's current standards. At a meeting on March 27, 2012 staff reported to Council that approximately 60.55 km of sidewalk have a width of 1.4 m or less on the sidewalk plowing routes. It would be prudent to replace some of these sections as part of the annual program to help reduce boulevard restoration costs associated with plow damage and to bring these sections into compliance with the AODA guidelines. ANALYSIS /RATIONALE New Sidewalk Program The candidate sections for inclusion in this year's New Sidewalk Program include; Morrison Street (South side) - Drummond Road to East of Bus Stop Stanley Avenue (West side) - Murray Street to Robinson Street Garner Road (West side) at CN railway crossing Miscellaneous ramps and modifications Staff will coordinate the installation of these sections (in this order) until the value of the contract reaches the budget amount of $125,000.

For the purposes of the 10 Year Capital Forecast, staff are recommending that funding in the amount of $500,000 be considered as a spending benchmark during future budget deliberations. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The 2012 Capital Budget did include funding for the New Sidewalk Program however the Sidewalk Replacement Program was unfunded. Staff are recommending that the 2012 Sidewalk Replacement program be funded from the following sources; Future Municipal Works Reserve Fund $450,000 Sidewalk Construction Reserve Fund $ 50,000 Total $500,000 Due to time required to complete a contract of this size over the next couple of months staff are seeking authorization to proceed with the tender process and award the contract to the lowest qualified bidder. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The recommendation contained in this report is consistent with Council's Strategic Priorities of ensuring that environmental, health and social benefits direct transportation planning and design decisions related to walking, cycling and public transit.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building and Development SUBJECT: PD -2012- 47 Niagara Region's Community Improvement Plan (CIP) for the Niagara Gateway Economic Zone and Centre RECOMMENDATION That Council refer the necessary funding for the Gateway CIP Program to the 2013 Budget deliberations to determine the interest in adopting the Gateway CIP and participate in the incentives program. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Niagara Gateway Economic Zone Community Improvement Plan was developed by the Niagara Region as a response to a recommendation made from the Niagara Gateway Economic Zone and Centre Report prepared in December, 2008 which stated "the Region will work with area municipalities to create an attractive investment climate for its employment lands ". Employment lands are those that are designated for employment uses in local Official Plans and include industrial and non - retail commercial areas. In June of this year, the Region approved Policy Plan Amendment #1 -2012. This amendment set out a strategic direction for the development of employment lands within specific settlement lands of urban areas within Niagara Falls, Fort Erie, Thorold, Welland and Port Colborne. It was at this time that the City of Niagara Falls made the Region aware of three areas of concern located outside of the urban area boundary and they included the area along the QEW corridor between Niagara Falls and Fort Erie, the QEW and Sodom Road interchange, and the Northwest Special Policy Area. The Region did address each of the City's concerns and they will be subject to future reports and study. A map from the Gateway CIP identifies three major areas within the City's urban area boundaries that are considered as "strategic locations for investment ". These areas are the north -east section of the City including the former CN lands south of Buttrey Street and industrial lands along the QEW corridor including the Kent Avenue area and south of Niagara Square. The Strategic Locations for Investment map of the Gateway CIP is shown in this report as Appendix 1. The Appendix also identifies the three areas located outside of the urban area that are to be addressed in the future by the Region. September 11, 2012 BACKGROUND - 2 - PD- 2012 -47 The Region developed the Gateway CIP as a way to stimulate Economic Development within the Niagara Falls, Fort Erie, Port Colborne, Thorold and Welland. Section 106 of the Municipal Act allows municipalities to exercise powers under Section 28 of the Planning Act to add provisions to their Official Plan to prepare and adopt Community Improvement Plans. The Region has prepared the Gateway CIP for the five municipalities, but cannot adopt it. Therefore, the Region is asking each municipality to adopt the CIP as its own. The Gateway CIP provides two financial incentives programs to be applied in areas designated for employment uses. Firstly, there is a Tax Increment Based Grant to stimulate new investment by existing and new businesses. The program is designed to phase in any property tax increase resulting from redevelopment and reassessment of the property. Eligibility is based on the project location and economic and environmental design performance of the development. The duration of the grant payments is 5 years if located within the urban boundary or up to 10 years if located within "strategic locations for investment areas ". The Region will match the percentage of grant provided by the municipality. The second incentive program is a Development Charge Grant for applications that qualify as "exceptional projects ". Niagara Falls does not apply DC's for industrial development, therefore, this program would have no effect in those areas. Retail commercial and residential projects within the project areas are not eligible for the funding. The administration of the program is to be shared jointly between the local municipality and the Region. The Gateway CIP contains a set of General Program Requirements. As part of the preparation of the CIP, the Region is to prepare a Program Guide which will more fully describe the types of development and redevelopment to be eligible for funding. The Guide should also include an application form and sample legal agreement. ANALYSIS The City supported the Regional Gateway Amendment (RPPA #1 -2012) with the proviso that policies also be incorporated for the Northwest Area, QEW from Lyon's Creek Road to Fort Erie and for the Sodom /QEW interchange. A special policy amendment is to be developed for the Northwest area, Sodom Road and QEW interchange has been acknowledged, and the QEW corridor is to be recognized. The Gateway CIP has been endorsed by Regional Council and provided to the five local municipalities for formal adoption. The City is required to hold a mandatory public meeting under the Planning Act and adopt the CIP by passing an adopting by -law. However, without a budget to support the CIP programs, there is little point in adopting a CIP. Therefore, before the Gateway CIP is subject to a public meeting and considered for adoption, this report recommends that Council refer the matter of funding the programs to the 2013 budget for consideration. The results of the budget discussions will determine whether or not the City wishes to participate in the Gateway CIP Program. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The Tax Increment Based Grant is intended to pay for itself. However, the Finance Department will have to account for the funding of eligible projects. It is proposed that a budget of $100,000 be proposed as part of the 2013 budget deliberations to implement the Gateway CIP. If the City does not budget money as part of the implementation, it is unlikely that the Region will be participants with the City in implementing the Gateway CIP incentives. September 11, 2012 CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT - 3 - PD- 2012 -47 The Gateway CIP is intended to stimulate economic development within the City by providing financial incentives to those lands within the urban area that are designated for employment use. Under the City's Strategic Priorities for 2011 -2014, one of the key areas is Economic Vitality. The approval and implementation of the Gateway CIP is intended to assist in stimulating new employment growth in the City.

That Council approve the request and pass the by -law included in tonight's agenda to designate Block 117 on Registered Plan 59M -379, as exempt from Part Lot Control for a period of two years. 2. That the developer be requested to notify the City when the separate deeds have been registered. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Mountainview Homes has requested a by -law be passed to exempt the land from being subject to Part Lot Control to allow the transfer of ownership of the four freehold townhouse units currently under construction. The request can be supported based on the following: • The use of this Planning Act mechanism is an acceptable alternative to a consent because the block is located within a registered subdivision. • The by -law will permit a deed to be created for each parcel containing a dwelling unit and permit each property to be sold. • Zoning is in place to permit the proposed parcels which comply with the regulations. BACKGROUND Proposal Mountainview Homes has submitted a request to have Part Lot Control removed from their lands (Part 1 through 6 of 59R- 14499) located on the north side of Hendershot Boulevard, west of Garner Road and north of Lundy's Lane. The subject lands are illustrated on Schedule 1. The removal of Part Lot Control is a planning tool that is intended to allow minor boundary adjustments to lots and blocks within registered plans of subdivision. In this case the removal of Part Lot Control is requested to allow the creation of separate parcels for each of the six on- street townhouse dwelling units that are under construction. Refer to Schedule 2 for further detail. September 11, 2012 ANALYSIS /RATIONALE - 2 - PD- 2012 -49 The block is located within the Fernwood Phase 2 Plan of Subdivision (59M -379) which was registered in 2010. The subdivision contains a mix of single- detached dwellings and on- street townhouses. A Building Permit was issued in April 2011 to permit the on- street townhouse dwelling to be constructed on the block of land. The structure foundations and proposed property configurations are shown on the attached reference plan (Schedule 2). The block is zoned Residential Mixed (R3 -829) by Zoning By -law No. 79 -200, as amended by By -law No. 2008 -99. Special regulations apply that regulate the number of parking spaces and number of dwelling units per block. The proposed parcels comply with the zoning regulations. Part Lot Control provisions under the Planning Act prevent lands that are within a registered plan of subdivision from being further divided without a consent to sever. Municipalities have the ability to exempt lots and blocks from Part Lot Control to allow lot lines to be reconfigured or part of a lot or block to be conveyed without a consent. Approval of a Part Lot Control by -law is requested so that parcels can be created containing each dwelling unit. This will allow each unit to have a separate deed and to be sold. Part Lot Control has been requested to be lifted for two years to allow for flexibility in scheduling real estate closing dates and to consider market absorption of the units. This time period is acceptable given the amount of new residential development in the area. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Council's priority is to strengthen and promote economic development in the City. The application is consistent with this priority.

That Council approve the request and pass the by -law included in tonight's agenda to designate Lots 14 and 26 and Block 36 of Plan 59M -340, as exempt from Part Lot Control for a period of three years. 2. That the owner be requested to notify the City when the separate deeds have been registered. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Mountainview Homes has requested a by -law be passed to exempt the land from being subject to Part Lot Control to allow the transfer of ownership of each remaining semi- detached and on- street townhouse dwelling unit to be built. The request can be supported based on the following: The use of this Planning Act mechanism is an acceptable alternative to a consent because the lots and block are located within a registered subdivision and their division into more than one parcel has been anticipated. • The approval will permit a deed to be created for each parcel containing a semi- detached and townhouse dwelling unit and permit each property to be sold. • Zoning is in place to permit the proposed parcels and dwelling units. BACKGROUND Proposal Mountainview Homes has submitted a request to have Part Lot Control removed from several lots and 1 block within the Garner Village Subdivision. The subject lands are illustrated on Schedule 1. The removal of Part Lot Control is a planning tool that is intended to allow the reconfiguration of lot lines and /or the division of lots and blocks within a September 11, 2012 - 2 - PD- 2012 -50 registered plan of subdivision. The request is being made because a previous exemption from Part Lot Control for the subdivision expired on June 25, 2012 and not all the dwelling units have been sold. Therefore, the applicant is seeking an exemption from Part Lot Control for Lots 14 and 26 and Block 36 for an additional 3 years. ANALYSIS /RATIONALE The subject land is located within the Garner Village subdivision, which was registered on January 27, 2006. Lots Lots 14 and 26 are to be developed with semi - detached dwellings, while Block 36 is to be developed with an on- street townhouse dwelling. The land is currently zoned Residential Mixed (R3 -709) through site specific Zoning By -law No. 2005 -84. This zoning category permits the proposed semi - detached dwellings and on- street townhouse dwelling units. The Building Permit review process will ensure compliance with all zoning requirements. Part Lot Control provisions under the Planning Act prevent lands that are within a registered plan of subdivision from being further divided without a consent to sever. Municipalities have the ability to exempt a property from Part Lot Control, which would allow an owner to sell part of their lot without a consent. Approval of a Part Lot Control exemption by -law would allow the subject lots and block to be divided into separate parcels to allow the individual dwelling units to be sold. Applying a Part Lot Control by -law to all of the lots and blocks at this time provides flexibility for the developer during the construction of dwellings and scheduling of real estate sales. A by -law time limit of three years has been requested to allow for flexibility in scheduling real estate closing dates and to consider market absorption of the units. This time period is acceptable given the amount of new residential development in the area. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Council's priority is to strengthen and promote economic development in the City. The application is consistent with this priority.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PD- 2012 -51 Status of Downtown Infrastructure and Streetscape Improvements RECOMMENDATION That Council receive and file this report. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There have been several infrastructure and streetscape improvements carried out in the Downtown over the past couple of years. This report provides the status of the improvements and notes a couple of the outstanding items. BACKGROUND With the announcement of almost $2.7 million under the Federal Provincial Infrastructure Funding Program in the fall of 2009, the City embarked on a major underground infrastructure and streetscape improvement plan for Downtown. As a result of this work, there have been a number of compliments expressed with the positive appearance of the Downtown. This is a major step in the rejuvenation of Downtown and it is hoped that it will be a positive step in bringing more people back, and be the popular place that it once was. The underground improvements included the separation of the storm water and sanitary sewers and a new municipal watermain. The above ground improvements included new concrete sidewalks and parking areas defined by bollards. This work has improved the functioning of the on- street parking and the ability of store fronts to come out onto the street and become cafes and restaurants. The City has also constructed a series of arches at street intersections, a new sound system for the street, new street furnishings including benches, cafe tables, tree grates and bike racks, and two large welcome signs at the entrance of the Downtown at Queen Street and River Road. The Downtown Park at Erie Avenue and Queen Street is under construction and should be completed within the next couple of weeks. Items to be completed include the refurbishing and painting of the street light heads and final coat of asphalt for the street. There are a couple of other items that remain to be completed. The first is the possible utilization of a couple of left over arches. The original plan for the arches was the placement of two arches at each of the Downtown street intersections. This was reduced September 11, 2012 - 2 - PD- 2012 -51 to one arch at each intersection due to the revised cost of new poles and installation. The Downtown Beautification Committee recommended that one of the extra arches be placed at the corner of Bridge Street and Erie Avenue in front of the VIA Rail Station. They recommended a second extra arch to twin the existing arch at Valley Way and Victoria Avenue. The main issue with the surplus arches is that they were not originally fabricated for these locations and they will need modification in order to be installed. Staff will seek, through a structural engineer's certification, assurance that the arches can indeed be modified for use at the proposed sites. If the arches can be altered safely for the proposed locations, and at a moderate cost, staff will move forward with preparing a tender. Secondly, the Downtown BIA presented a proposal to Council as part of an earlier presentation, for the City's first Electric Vehicle Charging Station to be placed in the Downtown for charging electric cars. Staff has worked with Parking and Traffic staff and have earmarked an area on the northeast corner of Ontario Avenue and Queen Street as a potential location. The preliminary cost is approximately $15,000 which includes preparation of specifications, drawings and tender, as well as the physical construction of the electrical vehicle station. The three areas along Queen Street that were not part of the streetscape improvement work are the areas in front of the Hatch Building and City Hall, Queen Street east of Erie Avenue to River Road, and west of St. Lawrence Avenue to Victoria Avenue. It is the latter section between St. Lawrence and Victoria Avenue that staff wish to propose as part of the 2013 budget. This is dependent upon the completion of the Buckley Street sewer. Staff will be making application to the Niagara Region this fall for $100,000 from their Smarter Niagara Financial Incentives Program for public realm improvements. The City has received $200,000 from the Region's Program for Downtown in the past. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS There are some funds remaining under the Downtown Streetscape Improvement Project. It is the funds from this account that will be used to complete the outstanding work. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT It is the intent of the City's improvement project to encourage the economic recovery of the Downtown area. The additional improvements will strengthen and promote the economic viability of the Downtown and satisfy one of Council's strategic priorities.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Plan of Condominium to convert an 18 unit apartment building to a condominium was draft approved on August 10, 2009. Draft approval expires on September 15, 2012. The owners have requested an 18 month extension to draft plan approval to allow additional time to fulfill their conditions of draft approval. The extension of 1 year can be supported as it is considered minor and the conditions of draft approval, as revised, still conform to City regulations. BACKGROUND On August 10, 2009, Council granted draft approval to allow the conversion of the existing 18 unit, 3- storey apartment building. Draft approval came into effect on September 15, 2009. The location of the subject property is provided on Schedule 1 and the plan layout is illustrated on Schedule 2. Draft approval for subdivision and condominium applications is typically given for three years. Approval lapses after three years unless an extension is granted by Council as permitted under the Planning Act. ANALYSIS The Owners have submitted a request for an extension to draft plan approval for a period of 18 months (see attached letter). Draft approval was given subject to 11 conditions, of which only two have been fulfilled. Most of the remaining conditions will be fulfilled at the time of registering the required condominium agreement, however, one of the conditions requires the Owners to confirm compliance with the Ontario Building Code for an extra unit. The extra unit was discovered during the review of the original application and it is unknown if the unit complies with the Ontario Building Code. The extension has been requested to provide additional time to address this. September 11, 2012 - 2 - PD- 2012 -53 A Minor Variance (A- 2009 -028) was obtained to recognize existing zoning deficiencies (side yard width for an accessory building, parking stall length, manoeuvring aisle width front yard parking), which predated the Zoning By -law. It is the City's practice to require compliance with the Zoning By -law at the time of a condominium conversion. The Region of Niagara was circulated the request and provided comments. The Region notes that the conversions of rental housing to condominium ownership should only permitted where there is a healthy supply of affordable rental housing. The Regional Policy Plan and the City's Official Plan note that a rental vacancy rate of 3 percent is considered to be healthy. The most recent housing statistics from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation indicates that as of October 2011, the rental vacancy rate for Niagara Falls was 3.1 percent and that number is expected to rise to 3.4 percent in 2012. Accordingly, the application conforms with the Official Plan. The conditions of draft approval included a condition (condition 10) from the Region advising that waste pick -up from the site would be by private contractor. The Region requests that this condition be updated to reflect that the Region also collects recycling for apartment buildings that meet the Region's standards. The conditions of draft approval, including revised condition 10, are included in Appendix B. Staff have no objections to an extension since the conditions of draft approval as revised. The owner has had 3 years to fulfill a condition to ensure the additional unit meets the Building Code requirements. One additional year should be sufficient time to confirm compliance. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Council's priority is to strengthen and promote economic development in the City. The application is consistent with this priority.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture R &C- 2012 -19 September 11, 2012 SUBJECT: R &C- 2012 -19 Children's Transportation to Municipal Facilities RECOMMENDATION 1. To support the provision of free transportation on City of Niagara Falls regular bus routes to children 12 and under, Monday - Friday from 9:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. year round to municipal facilities. 2. To report back to Council in August 2013 to determine if the free transportation service for children 12 and under should continue and /or be expanded to include free transportation to high school students, Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY One of the major obstacles for elementary school trips is the cost of transportation. Free bus transportation will eliminate this obstacle and provide access to the children of Niagara Falls to City Museums, the Gale Centre, Libraries and MacBain Community Centre. The City of Niagara Falls bus routes provides coverage throughout the City with convenient access to the majority of schools. This service would enable teachers to reduce their field trip cost and provide an experience in our community. The trip would also promote the use of green transportation and our city's own services. The implementation of such a service would merely be the school contacting Niagara Falls Transit 48 hours in advance of the trip to ensure that the bus driver is aware of the pick -up. Transit staff will communicate with the school should a delay occur (ie trains on Morrison Street). Teachers could also incorporate different aspects of the curriculum into the trip beyond the destination (ie map reading, the community, etc.). There would be a charge to the adults accompanying the children and Niagara Falls Transit requests a ratio of one adult to every six children on board the bus. The benefit of making this a year round program, is to allow day cares and other summer programs to benefit from the services of Niagara Falls Transit. BACKGROUND This idea was initiated on the intent to break down barriers and provide greater access to the Niagara Falls History Museum and their new facility and programs and promote the use of public transportation to our youth. In conversations with Recreation & Culture staff and Transit, it was decided that it would benefit the community to extend this to all municipal facilities to receive maximum exposure and potential for the program. September 11 , 2012 - 2 - R &C- 2012 -19 This type of service has been provided by Welland Transit and in the past by Niagara Falls Transit. ANALYSIS /RATIONALE This is a win /win situation for all the facilities and Niagara Falls Transit. The use of this service will promote bus services to the children of Niagara Falls and showcase the ease of bus use in getting around. The facilities will see an increase in traffic and revenue as a result of the ability for more schools to access the facilities. FINANCIAL /STAFFING /LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Financially, Niagara Falls Transit would forego the revenue which otherwise would have been generated for the use of transit services for school trips. As a result of the fee change, however there would be some new revenue from the adults coming on the bus escorting the children. Recreation & Culture staff would be responsible for promoting this service to Niagara Falls teachers. Transit staff would field the calls from the schools and be aware of any delays in service that may impact the school. Staff at the municipal facilities would co- ordinate tours or other activities. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The Strategic Priority of Economic Vitality encourages the promotion of the Niagara Falls History Museum and the Bicentennial of the War of 1812. The implementation of the free bus service will attract new users to the transit service and visitors to the Niagara Falls History Museum.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS- 2012 -33 Transit Agreement with the Town of Fort Erie RECOMMENDATION: 1) That the municipality enters into an agreement with the Corporation of the Town of Fort Erie to supply transit service at full cost recovery. 2) That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary agreement. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Town of Fort Erie is interested in Niagara Falls Transit providing service between their community and Niagara Falls for the September 2012 through April 2013 period, which aligns with the school years for Niagara College and Brock University. This one year Agreement will be provided at the same rate Niagara College Student's Administrative Council and Brock University's Student's Union compensate Niagara Falls Transit, which allows for full cost recovery. BACKGROUND: The Town of Fort Erie has requested Niagara Falls Transit supply inter - municipal bus service between Niagara Falls and Fort Erie. This service began four years ago in September 2008 and serves as an educational and employment Zink between the two communities. The service will commence on September 4, 2012 and continue through to the end of April 2013, which will address the needs of the post secondary school customers who account for more than 70% of the ridership. In addition to the student traffic, the service attracts riders who travel into Niagara Falls for employment opportunities. The service is provided from the Walmart store in Fort Erie to the bus platform on Morrison at Dorchester in Niagara Falls and thus, provides connection options to other Niagara Falls Transit buses for these customers. September 11, 2012 - 2 - TS- 2012 -33 FINANCIAL /STAFFING /LEGAL IMPLICATIONS: The Service Agreement for the September 2012 through April 2013 will be the same as the previous three terms. The hourly rate will be $87.59 per hour, which recoups all costs associated with providing this inter municipal service. Based on the number of hours provided, the September 2012 through April 2013 service period will generate approximately $115,000. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT: The provision of service between Niagara Falls and Fort Erie supports the City's 2011 - 2014 Strategic Priorities which include: Infrastructure Sustainability, Convenient, Accessible, and Sustainable Transportation, Customer service Excellence, and a Healthy and Safe Community.

The parking demand study determined that the Clifton Hill and Fallsview Tourist Districts, as shown on Schedule E to this Plan, are unique compared to other areas in the City because of the high number of day trips and overnight visitors who park once and make multiple stops while walking through the districts. Based on the 2009 parking demand study, the City may establish specific parking requirements to be implemented in the Zoning By -law for the Clifton Hill and Fallsview Tourist Districts, as shown on Schedule E to this Plan. 4.5.2.2 When implementing parking requirements for the Clifton Hill and Fallsview Tourist Districts, as shown on Schedule E to this Plan. the City may provide the option for land owners to use the parking requirements which applied to their land as of June 1, 2011, or the requirements based on the 2009 parking demand study, but not a combination of both. The City will not support minor variances to establish such a combination. 4.5.2.3 While it is the intent of this Plan to ensure that adequate off - street parking is provided for all development, consideration may be given to the elimination of parking requirements for non - accommodation uses within the area shown on Figure 5. Exemption from parking requirements shall be implemented through an amendment to the Zoning By -law.
