NEW BUSINESS MW-2013-12 Niagaraflalls June 25, 2013 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2013-12 Cemetery Service Delivery Review RECOMMENDATION That the recommendations outlined in this Cemetery Service Delivery Review(June 2013) be approved and that staff be directed to implement the proposed changes within the prescribed time lines. That the report be approved, excluding the former Recreation Building EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An internal Service Delivery Review was conducted as a comprehensive review of all services and activities related to municipal cemeteries. The objective is to move the cemetery operation forward in a strategic process with the focus on organizational efficiencies and effectiveness, customer service and financial sustainability. Staff identified six issues to review and make recommendations through a Cemetery Service Delivery Review process. The issues include: Revenue Generation: review the cemetery administration and operation procedures as well as financial information,trends and marketing tools,with the goal to increase revenue and reduce the deficit Marketing Strategy: develop a strategy to promote cemetery services and products as well as the availability of interment options, thereby increasing revenue and improving the public perception and awareness Customer Service: look for improved customer service opportunities and efficiencies through external and internal clients and physical plant functions Cemetery Development: review current capacity for cremation, singles, doubles, triple and family plots, along with industry and societal trends for short and long term development (under separate cover) Operations Efficiencies: review current cemetery operation and best practices with a goal for improved efficiencies Provincial Legislation & Cemetery By-laws: review new Provincial Legislation with current Cemetery By-law 2000-254 and previous Amendments for potential upgrades and additional amendments, with the operational needs, as well as customer/client expectations, in mind June 25, 2013 -2 - MW-2013-12 The Service Delivery Review is provided in two parts; 1) Primary, and 2) Cemetery Development. The resulting Review determined twelve recommendations from the Primary Review and eleven recommendations from the Cemetery Development Review for Council's consideration. To further the reliability of the Review, E. Lees & Associates Consulting Ltd. (cemetery Planning consultants)were contracted to conduct a Peer Review of Staff's findings. The Cemetery Service Delivery Review (Pages I to IV) contains a summary of recommendations and an Action Plan for each, along with the consultant's Peer Review, The findings were presented earlier this evening. BACKGROUND Cemetery Services administer, maintain and/or operates twenty cemeteries including an indoor columbarium. Most cemeteries are small, rural, abandoned family burial grounds or church graveyards. Fairview and Lundy's Lane are the main cemeteries bringing in the most revenue as well as incurring the most costs. The Cemetery Service Delivery Review identified several demographics and trends which ultimately impact the way Cemetery Services do business. In 1980, for example, the City interred 530 people with 90% as full casket burial and 10% as cremation burial. The number of deaths continued to rise over the years from 522 in 1980 to 904 in 2010. However, statistical data indicate the City continued to inter the same number of people (530) as in the thirty previous years, with 48% as full casket burial and 52% as cremation burial. The trend toward cremation burial has had a serious impact on the bereavement industry-funeral homes, monument dealers and cemeteries. Of further note is the number of cremated remains that are not necessarily returned to the cemetery for interment at the time of death. Statistics indicate that approximately 35% of cremated remains are not returned to the funeral home for final disposition. The cemetery is seeing more families making private arrangements several weeks or months after the death, however not close to the reported 35%. The above trends, consumer values, expectation and spending habits, as well as thirty years of statistical data were some of the tools utilized to develop the Cemetery Service Delivery Review. E. Lees &Associates Consulting Ltd. was a useful resource in providing additional technical data, confirming accuracy and identifying gaps to the internal Review as well as unitizing data from a survey of municipal cemeteries to further strengthen the Review documentation. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Cemetery Services operate at an average annual deficit of $600,000. The Review identifies several opportunities that could potentially reduce or eliminate the deficit over a period of time. The proposed fee schedule is one option, as proposed in a separate Council Report (MW-2013-17). Additional components of the Review include a marketing strategy that would reach all demographic population groups; enhanced customer service standards; and improve operation efficiencies. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Several recommendations within the Review's Primary Document do not require a funding source. However, the proposed Extended Work Hours initiative will require one part time office staff at a cost of $16,000 for the remainder of 2013. An enhanced marketing June 25, 2013 - 3 - MW-2013-12 strategy will require approximately $25,000 and will be deferred to the 2014 Operating Budget. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The recommendations contained within the Cemetery Service Delivery Review are in keeping with the following strategic commitments: • Economic Vitality • Financial Stability • Customer Service Excellence • Organizational Efficiencies and Effectiveness LIST OF ATTACHMENTS 1.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2013-17 Proposed Cemetery Fee Schedule RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the Proposed Cemetery Fee Schedule effective August 1, 2013. With the fee increases for Lot and Niche Sales and Internment Services being implemented over 24 months EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Cemetery Fee Schedule was last updated in 2010. During this time Staff has conducted a Cemetery Service Delivery Review (MW-2013-12) which included a review of cemetery administration and operation procedures as well as financial information, trends and marketing tools, with the goal to increase revenue and reduce the deficit. With the objective to bring the cemetery fees more in line with industry standards, Staff is recommending a 30% increase for lot sales and niche sales. Further, in an attempt to bring the interment fees to a break even point, a 54% increase of interment services is also recommended. Staff proposes that three (3) incremental increases take place during a one year period starting in July 2013. With the three increments, the families will not be overburdened with a heavy increase in fees all at one time. Additional fee increases would take place in January 2014 and July 2014. The Cemetery Service Delivery Review also acknowledged that extending the work week to include evening and Saturday hours without charging the families extra for an interment service would enhance customer service as well as potentially bring in additional revenue. In order to provide this service at no extra cost to the public, Cemetery Services propose that Staff work at rotating shifts. Additional details are outlined in report MW-12-2013 and accompanying Cemetery Service Delivery Review. The extended work hours are reflected in the Fee Schedule, with the Saturday surcharge omitted. BACKGROUND The last change to Cemetery fees was in 2010 which incorporated a 10% increase. Prior to 2010, Cemetery fees increased annually by approximately 3%, and in some years up to 25%. In 2012, a poll of Niagara Region cemeteries, supported by a survey conducted in 2013, found that the City of Niagara Falls Cemetery Services has fallen behind the Regional industry average by approximately 30%. In some cases, the percentage was significantly higher. St. Catharines, Grimsby and Wainfleet, for example, increased their fees substantially over the past two years. June 25, 2013 - 2 - MW-2013-17 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE As part of the Cemetery Service Delivery Review (MW-2013-12), E. Lees & Associates Consulting (cemetery Planners) conducted a survey of nine municipalities within Southern Ontario. Cemetery fees were one component of the survey. It was found that the cemetery rates in Niagara Falls are well below the average. Lot and niche sales range from 28% to 60% below the industry average, while interments range from 16% to 25% below the average. Cemetery products and memorial programs are between 73% and 258% below the surveyed average. The following chart represents a 30% lot and niche sale increase spread across one year in three increments: Lot & Niche Sales - Proposed Incremental Increases: Present Day Increase#1 Increase #2 Increase#3 (10%) (10%) (10%) Service Niagara St. Aug. 1, 2013 Jan. 1, 2014 Jul. 1, 2014 Falls Catharines Adult Single 1070 1239 1177 1295 1424 Adult Double 2140 2655 2354 2589 2848 Adult Triple 3210 4247 3531 3884 4273 Columbaria Niche 1250 1947 1375 1513 1664 20% 20% 20% Cremation Plot 540 1195 648 778 933 (Four Lots) Additional reviews of Niagara Falls Cemetery Service Time Studies, in combination with an up to date cost (i.e., labour, overhead, expenses, etc.) versus price analysis, further determined that a 54% increase for 'interment services' is required to break even. The following presents an example of the cost/price analysis with a proposed increase of 54% spread across one year in three increments: Interment Services - Proposed Incremental Increases: Increase Increase#2 Increase #3 Present Day #1 (18%) (18%) (18%) Service Fee For Actual St. Aug. 1, Service Cost to Catharines 2013 Jan. 1, 2014 Jul. 1, 2014 the City Adult Casket 930 1433 1250 1097 1295 1528 Burial Cremains Urn 275 425 450 325 383 452 Burial Cremains No 200 303 NA 236 279 329 Urn (Scatter) Niche Opening 200 303 400 236 279 329 June 25, 2013 -3 - MW-2013-17 As indicated above, the proposed fee schedule increases(i.e., three incremental increases across a one year period), would ultimately result in a break-even situation for interment services, thereby substantially reducing, if not eliminating, the annual operations deficit. Staff met with the Niagara Falls bereavement services on May 22nd, 2013 to discuss the findings and the recommendations of the Cemetery Service Delivery Review, including the proposed fee increases. In attendance were four funeral directors and two monument dealers as well as a representative from the Stamford Green Heritage Association. In summary, they acknowledged fee increases were necessary, however; they are opposed to the substantial increase in fees during one year, stating that the increments could be stretched across four or five years instead. There were positive comments regarding the extended work hours taking place on two weekday evenings (seasonal) and Saturdays' year round. The meeting summary from the Bereavement Services meeting is included in the Cemetery Service Delivery Review, Appendix E - Stakeholder Feedback. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The proposed Fee Schedule, for the first increment, would go into effect July 1, 2013. Two additional increments would take place January 1, 2014 and July 1, 2014.

Would suggest change in proposed cemetery grounds service hours (currently 8-4 M-F)to 8:30— 4:30 Monday to Saturday. There are rarely requests for interment services prior to 9:30 am, but more requests for late afternoon interments (particularly for urns with cremated remains). We do not see any anticipated need for cremation interments in evenings. 3. Would suggest new rates be phased in over 24 months (i.e. 10%July 2013, 10%July 2014, 10% July 2015) instead of 12 months as suggested in report. 4. Would request consideration to reduction of non-resident surcharge (currently 50%)to be phased in at same rate as increases to lot purchases and interment services are being increased. The basis of the establishment of the non-resident surcharge more than 20 years ago was based on perception (not factually based) of 1 NF City councillor that was of the opinion that non- residents were purchasing graves and having interments in NF due to the low cost availability of plots and services at that time, as they were considerably less than many other area cemeteries. As NF Cemeteries have increased cost to a "market" level over the years, this surcharge has never been adjusted accordingly. As increases of 30%and 50%are being suggested in this report, now is the time to consider adjusting the non-resident surcharge. If the NF cemeteries are to be run like a business,then this service surcharge should be eliminated. No other business would impose a surcharge on a non-resident. 5. Consider contracting out all grass cutting services for all Cemeteries under responsibility of NF Cemetery operations. All comments will be incorporated into the Final Cemetery Service Delivery Review Report which is scheduled to be presented to City Council on Tuesday June 11, 2013. Thank you!

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2013-31 Weaver Cemetery Fence RECOMMENDATION 1. An Agreement was made with Metrus that when they replaced their portion of the fence, they would install the City's portion. The work has been completed and it is time to reimburse Metrus for the City's portion of the fence. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A number of years ago when clear cutting was taking place at Chippawa West, the City put a stop work order to the cutting around the small rural cemetery on Willick Road. Since then Staff have been working with Queensway-Chippawa Props. Inc. (Metrus Development Inc.) on an agreement to alleviate the damage by saving trees and adding proper drainage around the cemetery. Metrus also agreed they would replace the existing fence with wrought iron fencing. The installation would take place at a later year when Phase 1 development started. Staff agreed that Metrus would install the fence and there would be a cost sharing for the materials. The City's cost would be the difference between galvanized chain link and wrought iron for a portion of the cemetery and Metrus would pay the full amount for the remainder of the fence. BACKGROUND The Weaver Cemetery is one of the City's pioneer cemeteries, located on Willick Road, just off of Sodom Road. Queensway-Chippawa Props. Inc. (Metrus Development Inc.) are constructing Chippawa West subdivision which is to the north, east and west sides of the Weaver cemetery. In 2008 the developer began clear cutting the property, including the cemetery boundary. Staff determined that drainage issues, as well as privacy and safety issues, resulting from the clear cutting, would negatively impact this rural cemetery. A stop work order was issued until the problems could be resolved. In 2011 Metrus and the City came to an agreement whereby the drainage and fencing issues would be resolved at the expense of Metrus Development. Further, in keeping with the aestheteics of Fairview and Lundy's Lane cemeteries, it was determined that a wrought iron fence would be installed around the cemetery,rather than a chain link fence, as first proposed by Metrus. Metrus agreed to supply and install the wrought iron fence around the perimeter of the cemetery during Phase 1 of the subdivision development. Metrus further offered to pay the total amount for the fencing on the south and west sides of the cemetery and the City agreed to pay the difference between chain link and wrought iron for the east and north sides of the cemetery. June 25, 2013 - 2 - MW-2013-31 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE During the deliberations, a time line was not determined as to when the fence construction would take place. However, in the Fall, 2012 Staff were advised that the fence construction was scheduled to take place within the next several weeks, weather permitting. Staff requested capital funding in the 2013 budget, to pay for the City's portion of the fence, however the funds were not approved. In the meantime, the fence construction was already underway. Staff did not think it prudent to stop the fence construction, considering the City's previous demands placed on the developer and the importance of keeping a good working relationship with the developer. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS An amount of $15,149.50 plus 1 ,969.44 taxes is now payable to Queensway-Chippawa Props. Inc. for the cost sharing of the east and north sides of the cemetery fence. Funding for the fence was not approved in the 2013 Capital Budget. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS 1 .

Roberts, Manager of Parks & Cemetery Services Dear Madam: RE: WEAVER CEMETERY FENCING QUEENSWAY-CHIPPAWA(METROS) DRAFT PLAN 26T-94009 NIAGARA FALLS, ON This letter is to confirm the details with respect to the timing and cost-sharing of the above-noted fencing requirement. Please find attached the'Revised' Landscape Cost Estimates, including a separate sub-section for the Cemetery Works. With respect to the fence details, the Majestic Eagle II that we originally agreed to install has since been discontinued and is replaced by the "4000 Series." Our contractor has confirmed this product is of equal value and quality, and can be provided in a 6ft product. The specifications of this product have already been provided to Parks staff and we trust that there are no further issues. Metrus will proceed with the fence installation as part of the landscape works for the Phase 1. Both Metrus, and the City of Niagara Falls have agreed to share in the cost of the upgraded fence. Metrus will supply and install the 6ft fence around the perimeter of the Weaver Historic Cemetery. The City of Niagara Falls has agreed to reimburse the developer for the cost of the upgraded fencing on the North and East perimeter of the cemetery, which total approximately 85 meters. The estimated cost of a standard chain-link fence (of equivalent length) is mutually noted as the developer's obligation and will be deducted from the City's reimbursement. We trust that you are now in a position to sign-off on the issuance of our Site Alteration Permit. We are scheduled to begin work the week of July 11th; as such your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. )�1 BILD' MEMBER City of Niagara Falls Cynthia A.

Diodati And Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2013-30 Downtown BIA - Various Parking Requests RECOMMENDATION 1) Council approve a reduction to the set fines for expired parking meters from $20.00 to $15.00 in the Queen Street, Main Street and Chippawa areas; 2) The proposed set fine reductions be forwarded by staff, to the Ministry of the Attorney General's Office for approval; 3) Council forward a resolution to the Regional Municipality of Niagara requesting that they adjust their set fines to align with the proposed adjustments outlined in this report; 4) The existing 10 minute grace period extended by parking officers at expired meters, be maintained; 5) That passes for service vehicles performing loading, unloading and cleaning duties for the downtown BIA be offered at the standard rate, currently $ 75.00 plus tax, for five passes, annually; 6) The Pay and Display machines throughout the city be programmed to not accept coins or credit card after paid parking hours. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Staff has continually worked with the downtown BIA to address matters of parking and to move forward in a positive and productive direction. Items such as placing maps on the City website and on Pay & Display machines indicating free parking areas downtown, as well as reduced rate incentives for perimeter lots and long term parking, have been implemented. More recently the Downtown Board requested staff review four parking operation related matters: reducing the set fine for parking at expired meters; extending the grace period from 10 minutes to 20 minutes prior to issuing a parking ticket; providing five free parking passes at meters for service vehicles performing various duties on Queen Street, and programming parking machines so payments are not accepted on weekends. June 25, 2013 -2- TS-2013-30 To address a few of the above requests, staff reviewed similar practices in other municipalities to gauge conformity and consistency. Results indicated that it is reasonable to reduce the fine at parking meters from $20.00 to $15.00 as requested, but that the current 10 minute grace time is an adequate and standard time allotted. Service vehicles may be accommodated through the existing Commercial Loading & Unloading permit which allows for free parking at parking meters. Lastly, parking machines have been reprogrammed to not accept coin after hours as requested. All changes to parking fines in Ontario require approval from the Ministry of the Attorney General's Office. The approval process typically takes six months. BACKGROUND Recently, the Downtown Board has requested that staff review four parking operation related matters: 1) Reducing the set fine for parking at expired meters 2) Extending the grace period from 10 minutes to 20 minutes prior to issuing a parking ticket 3) Providing five free parking passes at meters for service vehicles performing various duties on Queen Street 4) Programming parking machines so payments are not accepted on weekends Staff have reviewed the requests and have worked to address the items immediately with the Downtown Board. Reducing the Set Fine for Parking at Expired Meters A review of fines from ten municipalities identifies the average parking fine for an expired meter is $15.00 (chart attached), with the highest being $25.00 in Niagara-On-The-Lake tourist area. Based on this information, staff recommend a revision to the set fine in the business areas of Queen Street, Main Street and Chippawa be reduced to $15.00 to align with the southern Ontario average. The fine for an expired parking ticket in the Clifton Hill, Fallsview and Hospital areas would be maintained at $20.00. The rational being that the hourly rate of parking is higher in these areas and thus the fine reflects the appropriate penalty for an expired meter. Fines that are set too low would encourage the public to ignore payment at machines for long term premium parking spaces and opt for the risk of receiving a lower rate fine. Extending the Grace Period from 10 Minutes to 20 Minutes Prior to Issuing a Parking Ticket A review of tickets issued for expired meters on Queen Street indicates the average ticket is issued approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour after the expiry time on the stub. A standard enforcement practice for officers is to review the Pay & Display stub time and if the stub is currently valid or just past expiry (within 10 minutes) to continue down the block on their patrol. Since officers do not linger in the area, expired stubs are reviewed on the June 25, 2013 -3- TS-2013-30 secondary pass by the officer, often more than 30 minutes later. Based on this, the standard 10 minutes grace is effective and does not result in aggressive ticketing activity by officers, and it also allows a satisfactory return time for those paying to park. Ten minute grace periods are standard practice among municipalities enforcing parking regulations in metered areas. Therefore, based on the fact that the average expired meter violation is issued more than 30 minutes after expiration there is no need to extend the grace period. Providing Five Free Parking Passes at Meters for Service Vehicles Performing Various Duties on Queen Street Commercial loading and unloading permits area available in metered areas for a fee of $50.00 per year plus tax. A reduced rate of$10.00 is offered for the second vehicle and any additional permits thereafter are$5.00, subject to the permits being issued to the same commercial company. The request received from the BIA is to provide a permit for service vehicles performing standard 'on street' duty such as garbage removal, watering flowers, equipment drop off. The existing Commercial loading & unloading permit encompasses these activities and therefore provides adequate coverage such that parking enforcement officers would associate the tasks being conducted when patrolling. As parking operations are self sustaining without tax supported revenue, it is recommended that the issuing of these permits follow the standard regulations and the cost coincide with the schedule of fees. Five permits would result in the average annual cost of$15.00 per vehicle plus tax. These permits were issued on the same day as requested. Programming Parking Machines so Payments Are Not Accepted on Weekends It is standard practice that parking machines throughout the city do not accept coins after the hours of operation. A notification is displayed on the face of the machine to advise the public that the machine is not in operation. Furthermore, coins deposited beyond the hours of operation fall through to the change return. A field review revealed that a few machines need to be programmed to allow this operation. This was addressed and corrected when brought to the attention of staff. In addition to coins, credit cards are also not accepted after hours. Region of Niagara Set Fines City parking control staff enforce on both municipal and regional roads. To date, the Regional Municipality of Niagara has not increased or amended their set fine structure in any municipality in the Region since the consolidated by-law's inception in 1989. Since then on several occasions, we have requested the Region to adjust their set parking fines to be consistent with our set parking fines, with no success. This difference in set fines is unfair to the motorist as well as causing problems for our frontline parking staff. An example of the issue is as follows, a vehicle parked in parked on Ferry Street (a Regional Road) at an expired parking meter pays a set fine of$8.00, where the same violation just around the corner on Main Street(a City road) is $20.00. Therefore, we would once again request that the Region adjust their set fines to be consistent with our set fines. June 25, 2013 -4- TS-2013-30 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Reduction of standard expired meter fines would better suit the community and bring the rate in line with surrounding municipalities. The 10 minute grace period serves the needs of the business areas and is standard practice for parking enforcement in Ontario. City staff have issued permits to aid in the servicing of the Downtown Queen Street area for a nominal fee as assigned under our fee for services permit rates. Pay & Display machines are programmed to not accept coin after hours of operation and advise the public of this on the display screen, during the off-hours and days. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Reduction of the expired meter fine rate from $20.00 to $15.00 in the Queen Street, Main Street and Chippawa areas will reduce revenue by approximately $2,700 annually. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT This initiative is supported by Council's Strategic Priorities,continue the parking operations user-pay philosophy through the development and implementation of a 10-Year Parking Capital Infrastructure Program and Rate Stabilization Plan.

However, in the first half of the season, they far surpassed their original goal. In regular league play - Golden Horseshoe and Toronto areas, they ended up with 7 wins. 2 losses and a tie. On top of that. they had a gold medal in a tournament in Nepean, with a perfect game record. During the second half of the season, they opted to play only upper level teams and did very well. When they did have a loss, it was usually by only one goal. At both the Burlington and Richmond Hill tournaments, they brought home silver medals. Only tournament play decided they would proceed to the Provincials against some of the best Ontario teams. On their first day at the Provincial Championship in Oshawa. they beat Ottawa 2-1 and Mississauga 3-2. The second day, they had a 3-1 win over Gloucester-Cumberland. The third day, things got a bit rough and they had a 3-2 loss to Ayr and a 6-3 loss to Cambridge. Despite the two losses, their round robin record allowed them to go straight to the final game. The final game was played against Mississauga. a very strong team. with the same number of wins and losses as Niagara. The entire team came together and beat Mississauga 4-2.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2013-42 26T-11-2013-01 & AM-2013-006 Windylane Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment Application Blocks 246 and 247, Plan 59M-366 8891 and 8931 Forestview Boulevard Owner: Windylane Development Inc. (Mark Resnick) RECOMMENDATION 1 . That the Windylane Plan of Subdivision be draft approved subject to the conditions in the attached Appendix "A". 2. That the Mayor or designate be authorized to sign the draft plan as "approved" 20 days after notice of Council's decision has been given as required by the Planning Act, provided no appeals of the decision have been lodged. 3. That draft approval be given for three years, after which approval will lapse unless an extension is requested by the developer and granted by Council. 4. That the application to amend the Zoning By-law be approved as detailed in this report to provide the necessary land use regulations to guide the development of the proposed subdivision. 5. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the Subdivision Agreement and any required documents to allow for the future registration of the subdivision when all matters are addressed to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The applicant has requested approval of a draft plan of subdivision and a zoning amendment to permit the development of a subdivision with 21 lots for single detached dwellings and 7 blocks for on-street townhouse dwellings (41 units in total). This request can be supported because: • the proposal complies with Provincial and Regional policies with respect to providing compact development in the designated Greenfield Area; June 25, 2013 -2 - PBD-2013-42 • the proposal complies with the Official Plan and the Garner Neighbourhood Secondary Plan with respect to residential densities and housing mix; and • the plan of subdivision provides a logical relotting of two multiple residential blocks within the Edgewood Estates plan of subdivision. The conditions of approval are listed in Appendix "A". BACKGROUND Proposal A Plan of Subdivision Application has been submitted for two properties with a total lot area of 2.9 hectares (7.2 acres), known as 8891 and 8931 Forestview Boulevard (see Schedule 1). The applicant proposes to subdivide the lands into 21 lots for single detached dwellings and 7 blocks for 41 on-street townhouse dwelling units. The subject lands are two blocks in a plan of subdivision that were originally intended to be developed for 107 block townhouse dwelling units. Schedule 2 shows the proposed plan of subdivision. A Zoning By-law Amendment Application has been submitted concurrently with the subdivision application. The lands are currently zoned Residential Low Density, Grouped Multiple Dwellings (R4-779). The applicant is requesting the zoning of the proposed single detached dwelling lots to be changed to the Residential Single Family 1 E (R1 E) zone with site specific building height provisions, and the zoning of the proposed on-street townhouse dwelling blocks to be changed to the Residential Mixed (R3) zone, with site specific regulations for lot area, lot frontage,front yard depth, side yard width, lot coverage, building height, required parking and maximum number of dwelling units per block. Surrounding Land Uses The subject lands are two blocks within the Edgewood Estates Plan of subdivision. Single detached dwellings exist or are being developed to the south and east in this subdivision. A stormwater management pond is located to the west. Most of the land to the north is undeveloped and intended for future residential use. A single detached dwelling is located to the north-west. Neighbourhood Open House A neighbourhood open house was held on May 15, 2013. No neighbours attended to hear about the proposal or to ask questions. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE 1 . Provincial Policy Statement and Growth Plan The subject lands are located in an area considered a greenfield. Provincial policies require minimum density targets to be achieved in these areas. The Region, who oversees the implementation of Provincial policies, has determined that an average density of 53 persons/jobs per hectare is to be achieved in the City's greenfield area. The proposed subdivision meets the target density and provides a variety of housing choices for residents. The Region is satisfied the plan is consistent with Provincial and Regional policies and has no objections to its approval. June 25, 2013 -3 - PBD-2013-42 2. Official Plan and Garner Neighbourhood Secondary Plan The Official Plan designates the land Residential. Residential lands are intended to be developed with a variety of compatible housing forms to provide a full range of housing opportunities to meet the needs of all residents. Although low density forms of housing are intended to be the primary form of housing, higher density forms of housing are permitted along collector roads. The proposed development provides a mix of single detached and on-street townhouse dwellings that is compatible with existing and future surrounding development in terms of density and building form. The addition of the on-street townhouse dwelling units maintains some of the multiple dwelling units that were originally intended for this site and provides housing choices for residents in an area that is dominated by single detached dwellings. These units are in close proximity to Forestview Boulevard, a collector road. A housing mix target of 70% single/semi-detached units and 30% multiple residential units is specified for the Garner Neighbourhood. The proposed subdivision provides a housing mix of 34%single/semi-detached dwellings and 66% multiple residential units and will assist in meeting housing targets for the Secondary Plan area. 3. Subdivision Design and Conditions of Approval The subdivision provides a crescent street off of Forestview Boulevard. Single detached lots are generally oriented towards Forestview Boulevard to reflect the established streetscape on the south side of Forestview Boulevard, as well as backing onto the stormwater pond to the west. The on-street townhouses are grouped together on the east side and internal to the subdivision. Parkland requirements for the lands were satisfied through the Edgewood subdivision in 2006. The chain link fence between the proposed subdivision and the stormwater pond to the west needs to be maintained for public safety purposes. Wood fencing should be provided to buffer adjacent single detached dwellings from the proposed multiple unit dwellings. Conditions have been included to this effect. Municipal services are adequate to serve the subdivision. A condition has been included to ensure the western leg of the proposed street lines up with Sebastian Crescent. The other conditions listed in Appendix "A" address the City's, Region's and various agencies requirements for the development of the subdivision. 4. Zoning By-law Amendment The applicant has requested a Residential Single Family 1 E Density(R1 E)zone for the single detached lots, with a site specific increase in building height from 10 metres to 10.5 metres. This increased height is minimal, should not have a visual impact on surrounding properties, and will allow some flexibility in design. The applicant has requested a site specific Residential Mixed (R3) zone to permit the proposed on-street townhouse dwellings. This zone typically permits a mix of dwelling types, including single detached, semi-detached, duplex, triplex and quadruplex dwellings. To ensure the greenfield density targets are met, the use of the lands should be limited to on-street townhouse dwellings. The applicant has requested site specific modifications to the following R3 zone regulations: June 25, 2013 -4- PBD-2013-42 Required Proposed Minimum Lot Area 200 square metres 180 square metres Minimum Lot Frontage 6.5 metres 6.0 metres 6 metres 4.5 metres for a dwelling, 6 Minimum Front Yard Depth metres for a garage Minimum Interior Side Yard Width 3 metres 1.5 metres Minimum Exterior Side Yard 4.5 metres 3 metres Width Maximum Lot Coverage 40% 50% Maximum Building Height 10 metres 10.5 metres Minimum Number of Parking 1.4 spaces/unit 2 spaces/unit in tandem Spaces (one in an attached garage) Maximum Number of Dwelling 6 8 Units in an On-Street Townhouse Dwelling The reductions to the lot area and lot frontage are necessary to assist in meeting the mandated densities by the Province and the Region. These reductions are not expected to be noticeable. The other site specific regulations are relatively minor departures from the current standards that reflect smart growth standards implemented in newer development areas of the City and will provide future builders with desired design flexibility.These departures are not expected to affect the development's compatibility with surrounding dwellings. The applicant proposes to provide 2 parking spaces per unit in tandem (1 in the garage). This is acceptable and typical of dwelling units with driveways directly accessible from streets. A 6 metre setback in front of the garage will ensure there is room to park a vehicle in the driveway. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The proposed development will generate development charge contributions for the City.

L2E 6X5 June 5. 2013 To V.11,horn It May Concern: This letter is to inform the city of Niagara Falls that the Stamford Centre Volunteer Firemen's Association intends to hold a series of evening concerts in our park commencing on Thursday June 27 and subsequent Thursdays until August 29, 2013 (10 in total). The event is scheduled to run from 7:00 pm until 10:30 pm Various people involved in this endeavor have had informal discussions with yourself and others at city hall. It is our understanding that since Firemen's Park is private property and fully owned by the SCVFA that we will not require a permit from the city to hold this event. Regardless, I am submitting a SOP application anyway, in order to trigger a Fire. health and building inspection and whatever else you deem necessary. We also intend to obtain a Special Occasion liquor permit. These inspections will be required for that permit and I will be contacting those agencies directly, as directed by the permit application. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call. The SCVFA has always been 100% volunteer based for all fundraising. This will be true for this. In addition all proceeds will be going back into the community. i' Sincerel , oe oilman Thursday Blues Event Chairman Cell: (289) 241-7338 “. vv.SC vfa.ca oo, i 1 i i 1 I -- i — 1 _ — i 1 -- - .... 1 1 1 1 1 _., 1 .7,„5,;::' _4.. . ,5 O 1 * O F 1 i I 1 f:II I 1 1 m - -0 * D c 0 c N ca co 11 4:ifteatevico CA, , To Whom It May Concern Heaters Heroes is holding its third annual Heaters Heroes Run For Children charity event on August 10ih, 2013.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F-2013-38 Monthly Tax Receivables Report 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 May 31 , 2013 were $22.1 million compared to $22.4 million in 2012. During May, tax receivables as a percentage of taxes billed decreased from 27.9% in 2012 to 27.2% in 2013. The City's finance staff has had continued success in resolving properties that are subject to registration for 2013. At this stage, 78.1% of properties have developed payment arrangements or have paid in full. There are currently thirty-two 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 2013 improved during the month of May. Table 1 shows that taxes outstanding at May 31 , 2013 are $22.1 million. This represents a decrease from $22.4 million in arrears for the same period in 2012. 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 and residential property classes have increased slightly from a year ago. 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 , 2013, 389 properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of these actions after five months of activity. This table shows 78.1% of the tax accounts or 304 properties have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment arrangements. During May, eighteen accounts were paid in full. In addition, the number of accounts with suitable payment arrangements including full payments increased from 74.6% (April) to 78.1% (May). June 25, 2013 -2 - F-2013-38 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 May, one registered property was redeemed and sixteen properties were registered. The outstanding taxes for registered properties represents 6.6% 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 May 3, 2013 is 27.2% which is a decrease from 2012's value of 27.9%. The municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to offset the higher measure.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F-2013-39 General Insurance Report RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the 2013-2014 Comprehensive Insurance Program from Frank Cowan Co. Ltd. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City requires a renewal of the Municipal Insurance program as the current coverages expire June 30, 2013. Staff have reviewed the existing program for adequacy of coverages and recommend that the City renew with Frank Cowan Co. Ltd. for a one year term from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014. The annual premium of$1 ,859,806 is an increase from the previous annualized program of $1,786,122. The year over year increase is $73,684 or 4.13%. The insurance cost is within budget expectations for 2013. The premium increase is related to two factors. Firstly, the increase in liabiltiy premiums for the municipal sector and secondly, the increase in auto liablilty. The liability premium increase is related to a number of factors. First of all, the municipal sector continues to have increased settlements and awards. Secondly,while the City's 10 year losses reduced in this year, the overall loss ratio continues to be higher than insurers expections. Thirdly, the cost of liability claims continues to run higher than inflation. Lastly, the 10 year loss ratio for environmental claims is running higher than industry expectation. These factors have been positively offset by a reduced number of claims in 2012/2013 vs. 2011/2012. This trend if continued, will result in positive rate premiums in the future as the historical claims are resolved. The second area of increase in premiums was auto liability. The premium has increased year over year due to an increase number of claims in transit operations. This is consistant with the entire municipal sector. The City implemented an enhanced risk management program as a result of the insurance reviews conducted in 2011 . These efforts have had positive results, as the number of non auto claims has been reduced significantly from the previous year, the true impact on insurance cost is a long term endeavour. BACKGROUND The City requires an insurance program to mitigate potential liabilities incurred during the performance of its many services and responsibilities. On an annual basis, staff perform a review of the rates charged and the coverages provided for adequacy and completeness. The City has performed these reviews during this process. In 2011 , the City seconded the Risk Manager to focus soley on mitigating municipal risk. Some of the tasks were responding to and administrating claims, implementing corrective June 25, 2013 -2 - F-2013-39 issues to mitigate losses, to review and enhance municipal service delivery policies and to develop training for staff as necessary. These have had a positive impact as claims received have fallen significantly this past year. The balance of the remaining claims are legacy issues from the last decade, and will have less impact in the future as these are resolved. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The insurance program is reviewed annually to ensure that the coverages are sufficient and that the municipal assets are properly valued in the program. The insurance program covers from July 1, 2013 to June 2014. The summary of the 2013-2014 Insurance program is provided in Exhibit 1. The cost of the City's insurance program has increased from $1,786,122 to$1,859,806 for 2013 -2014. The year over year increase is $73,684 or 4.13% (4.19% in 2012). The premium increase is related to increased liability rates. The proposed insurance costs are within budget provision for 2013. The attached schedule shows the areas of premium increases. Liability insurance has increased by 2.5% from the previous year. There are two factors at play in this area. Firstly, the municipal sector is a challenge for the insurance issuers as this sector continues to experience significant losses. Some of these losses have been driven by landmark cases. In addition, claims have dramatically increased in frequency and severity. Likewise, the municipal sector has additional complexity compared to other sectors due to the wide range of services provided. Secondly, on a positive note, although the City's 10 year claim loss reduced, the average claim percentage continues to be higher than expected. The positive trend of reduced claims this past year, if continued, will have a positive impact in the future. The next premium increase is the excess premium category. This is the cost to carry additional insurance up to the $20 million coverage. The increase premium is due to more awards being awarded in the industry. The auto liability premiums have increased due to an increase in the number of claims incurred in the past year. The municipalities' auto claims have increased from the previous years and this fact accounts for the increase in premiums. In the case of Transit, single accidents can result in multiple claims due to the nature of Transit services. The municipal sector has seen similar increases in auto/transit premiums. To mitigate this factor,the Risk Manager, along with the Human Resources Specialist have developed a vehicle training program that will be implemented later this year.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In February 2012, City Council approved the acquisition of the property on which a temporary road is currently constructed. This temporary road is needed to provide public access until such time as a permanent roadway can be constructed to the east on lands currently slated for re-development. The purpose of this report is to amend the 2013 Capital Budget to include this acquistion. In the original report to Council, the funding source was not identified and the expenditure was not included in the 2013 Capital Budget. The funding source is the Special Purpose Reserves for land acquisition. BACKGROUND At its meeting on February 28, 2012 Council adopted the recommendations set out in report MW-2012-10. The Agreement to purchase two building lots on which a temporary road was constructed was executed on April 20, 2012. The Agreement contained specific language regarding the timing of the payment, the amount and the conditions to be met by the developer of the adjacent subdivision, Marinelli Estates. The maintenance period will expire on June 26, 2013 thereby requiring the payment to be issued by July 10, 2013. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS City Council has already approved the acquisition of the property however funding for the purchase of this land was not included in the 2013 Capital Budget. Attached is the Capital Budget Worksheet showing the funding for this purchase from Special Purpose Reserves, for land acquistion. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The recommendation is consistent with Council's Strategic Priorities to improve infrastructure sustainability and to create a healthy and safe community.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2013-32 Chippawa Boat Ramp Playground Sinking Ship Entertainment RECOMMENDATION 1. That the Mayor and City clerk be authorized to execute an agreement with Sinking Ship Entertainment for the TVO television show location, conditional upon approval from Ontario Power Generation. 2. That a project budget of $17,000 be added to the 2013 Capital Budget Program. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This approval is necessary to execute an agreement with Sinking Ship Entertainment to utilize the Chippawa Boat Ramp playground development for the filming of an episode of their new "Giver" television show. The television show will be broadcasted on TVO. Sinking Ship Entertainment has committed $10,000 to the development of the Chippawa Boat Dock playground. BACKGROUND The Chippawa Boat Ramp is located at 4379 Lyon's Creek Road at the north end of Sodom Road. It is a popular destination for family boating. The surrounding park is an open greenspace with a large parking lot. There are currently no children's play amenities. Crimson Park was upgraded in 2011. The Sinking Ship Entertainment provided an unique opportunity for community involvement in the building of this neighbourhood park. They also contributed $10,000 towards the project. The build project was a big success and was broadcast on TVO - Giver Program several times over the past two years. Staff applied to Sinking Ship Entertainment again this year for the Chippawa Boat Ramp project and were once again approved. The Chippawa Public Dock Committee is actively involved in all aspects of the project. With Council's approval the Chippawa Boat Ramp playground will continue with the timeline currently in place. The landscaping and infrastructure work is planned to take place in early July. Playground equipment installations along with TVO filming will take place over a three day period, July 22 to 24 of this year. June 25, 2013 -2 - MW-2013-32 To assist in facilitating the project, the Chippawa Public Docks Committee has committed to a partnership. The Chippawa Public Docks Committee will be bringing forward strong volunteer organization work that will include in-kind and material contribution through fundraising. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE In addition to the financial contribution of$10,000 towards the playground development at the Chippawa Boat Ramp, an agreement with Sinking Ship Entertainment to undertake filming in Chippawa will provide positive television promotion of the City of Niagara Falls. To ensure site related expenses including drainage and accessibility are addressed, an additional $7,000 is required. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL TVO's Sinking Ship Entertainment is committed to contributing $10,000 towards the costs. Additional assistance through services in kind, volunteer help and City's internal resources will see this project to fruition. The additional $7,000 can be funded from existing parkland reserve funds. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Implementation of this project meets the intent of Council's Strategic Priorities by providing opportunities for active living and promoting a healthy and safe community.

The contract be awarded to the lowest bidder Demar Construction at the lowest price of $1 ,258,191.34. 2. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary contract documents. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ailanthus Avenue has been experiencing increased traffic due to local development over the years which has had a deleterious effect on the road surface. The road conditions have deteriorated to a point where current conditions have fallen below minimum acceptable standards. It is now necessary to reconstruct the road from Dunn Street to McLeod Road to meet acceptable standards. BACKGROUND This road has experienced increased traffic demands due to nearby residential development. Public meetings have been held that resulted in a preferred design involving a two-lane road section including sidewalks. The existing islands will be maintained with additional islands constructed to act as traffic calming features which was a public concern. Tree plantings will also be a design component that was also recommended by the Park-in- the-City Committee. This road improvement will be a further enhancement to this area which recently experienced improvements to Dunn Street, Cleveland Avenue and Dixon Street. The Tender Opening Committee, in the presence of the City Clerk, Dean lorfida, and the Project Manager, Rick Volpini, opened tenders on June 11 , 2013. Tender documents were picked up by fifteen (15) Contractors and seven (7) bids were received. Listed below is a summary of the totalled tender prices excluding HST, received from the Contractors. The tenders were checked and corrected bids are shown below.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2013-35 Replacement of Miller Road Bridge (Contract 2013-266-12) and Replacement of Lemon Road Bridge (Contract 2013-225-09) Tender Award RECOMMENDATION 1 . The contract be awarded to the lowest bidder Anthony's Excavating Central Inc. at the lowest price of $979,263.50 2. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary contract documents. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Lemon and Miller Road Bridges have been identified as structures in need of priority replacement due to 'poor'condition ratings as determined by detailed physical inspections. The replacement costs for both the Lemon and Miller Road Bridges were approved in the 2013 Capital Budget. In an effort to maximize savings during construction, Lemon and Miller Road Bridges were packaged in a single tender document released on May 28th, 2013. Tenders for this contract were opened on Tuesday, June 11'h, 2013 and the lowest bid of $979,263.50 received from Anthony's Excavating Central Inc. (Anthony's Excavating) is being recommended for acceptance. BACKGROUND Municipalities are mandated by the province to undertake detailed physical inspections of all bridges and culverts with spans of three meters or greater, every two years. The goal of the inspections is to ensure, within an economic framework, an acceptable standard for structures in terms of public safety, comfort and convenience. Ellis Engineering Inc. was retained to undertake the latest structure inspections, the results of which are documented in the 2011 Municipal Bridge/Culvert Appraisal - Rehabilitation and Replacement Needs final report, dated December 2011. The inspection report identified both Lemon Road and Miller Road Bridges as structures in need of priority replacement given their respective 'poor' condition rating. Moreover, it was recommended that each bridge be assigned a load limit, specifically 14 tonnes for the June 25, 2013 -2 - MW-2013-35 Lemon Road Bridge and 2.5 tonnes for the Miller Road Bridge. The assigned load limit for the Miller Road Bridge proved to be a constraint as it related to winter maintenance equipment and as a result Miller Road over the bridge was closed during the winter months of 2011 and 2012. Ellis Engineering Inc. prepared the engineering design of the proposed structures and assisted in the preparation of the contract documents including specifications. The proposed replacement of the Lemon and Miller Road Bridges has been packaged in a single tender to maximize potential savings during construction related to economies of scale. The Tender Opening Committee, in the presence of the City Clerk, Dean lorfida, and the Project Manager, Sherri-Marie Millar, opened tenders on June 11, 2013. Tender documents were picked up by fifteen (15) contractors/material suppliers and six(6) bids were received. Listed below is a summary of the totalled tender prices excluding HST, received from the contractors. The tenders were checked and corrected bids are shown below.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2013-45 Matters Arising from Municipal Heritage Committee Request to Demolish 5031 River Road RECOMMENDATION That Council direct staff to remove the property at 5031 River Road, Niagara Falls from the Municipal Register of Heritage Properties and authorize the processing of a demolition permit application. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The property at 5031 River Road is listed on the Municipal Register of Heritage Properties. The owner requested a demolition permit for the property and due to its inclusion on the Municipal Register are required to give the City 60 days notice of the request for a demolition permit. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE In 2006, Council approved the Municipal Register of Heritage Properties which included both Designated and Listed properties. Those properties that are listed are there due to them having some historical significance to the City. The property at 5031 River Road was included in the Register as it appears in a booklet prepared in 1970 for the Lundy's Lane Historical Society, Stamford Township, Our Old Buildings. The Municipal Heritage Committee has reviewed the property using the criteria in Regulation 9/06 of the Ontario Heritage Act which is used for determining the Cultural Heritage Value or interest of a property prior to designation. The Ontario Heritage Act considers a property appropriate for designation if it meets one or more of the following criteria: • Has design value or physical value because it is rare or unique; • Has historical value or associative value, being a direct association with a theme, event, belief, person, activity, organization or institution that is significant to a community; • Has contextual value because it is important in defining, maintaining, or supporting the character of an area, is physically, functionally, visually or historically linked to its surroundings or is a landmark. June 25, 2013 -2 - PBD-2013-45 The house built c. 1856 can be described as a vernacular blend of the Classic Revival and Gothic Revival styles although smaller in scale and lacking some of the detail normally associated with the typical elements of these styles. Recognizable elements include medium pitched roof with the front gable plan, front porch , decorative barge board trim and full length window openings in the front porch. The original siding has been covered with pebbledash finish. The house does not exhibit rare or unique design. The Municipal Heritage Committee has determined that the property at 5031 River Road has limited associative value for its connection with the names of people associated with other lots in the area such as Crysler and its eventual sale to Vandersluys. According to the title search of the property, Part of Lot 20, Plan 276 is known to have been owned along with a number of lots by Hermanus Crysler beginning in 1840 and eventually sold to Joseph Vandersluys in 1897. In 1913, Joseph A Vandersluys sold the lot to Charles H Vandersluys. Eve E Vandersluys sold the property in 1951 to William Strader. Strader's held the property until its most recent owner, Mr. Landeraap purchased in 1992. There property is of minimal contextual value given that it is a relatively simple, small house along a road that has predominantly large homes. It is located on the west side of River Road. The Municipal Heritage Committee recommends to Council that the building be removed from the Municipal Register and staff be directed to process a Demolition Permit application for 5031 River Road due to its limited Cultural Heritage Value and Interest to the City of Niagara Falls.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2013-29 Kalar Road - Speed Limit Review RECOMMENDATION That the existing 80 km/h speed limit on Kalar Road between Mount Carmel Boulevard and Montrose Road is maintained. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A review of Kalar Road between Mount Carmel Boulevard and Montrose Road was carried out to determine its appropriate speed limit. The existing speed limit is 80 km/h. Data collected during field investigations identify that the existing 80 km/h speed limit is appropriate given the roadway geometry, traffic operations, surrounding land uses and the current operating speed of traffic. The implementation of a reduced speed limit in this area would inevitably increase the rate of violation of the speed limit. BACKGROUND Kalar Road is an arterial road that extends in a north/south direction between Mountain Road and Chippawa Creek Road. Between Mountain Road and Thorold Stone Road, there are three speed limits. The short section of Kalar Road between Montrose Road and Mountain Road is 80 km/h. This section was not taken into account in this review as it is under the jurisdiction of the Niagara Region as it provides a connecting link between two other Regional roads, being Mountain Road and Montrose Road. Between Montrose Road and Mount Carmel Boulevard, the speed limit is 80 km/h. The abutting lands are zoned agricultural though it appears that there is no farming activity. Club Italia is located on the southeast corner of the Kalar Road and Montrose Road intersection with one access via Kalar Road. Between Mount Carmel Boulevard and a point 350 metres north of Thorold Stone Road, the speed limit is 60 km/h. There are several residential properties sporadically located along the east side, though the west side is undeveloped. The remaining section between Thorold Stone Road and a point 350 metres north, the speed limit is 50 km/h. St. Vincent De Paul Catholic elementary school is located on the east side of Kalar Road just north of Thorold Stone Road. There is a small residential subdivision on the west side of Kalar Road. The transition in speed limits is to allow drivers to slow down prior to reaching the school area. A digital radar board faces southbound traffic within the 50 km/h zone to provide instant feedback to drivers that exceed the posted speed. June 25, 2013 -2- TS-2013-29 Within the study area of Kalar Road between Montrose Road and Mount Carmel Boulevard, the pavement width is 7 metres with a 1.5 metre wide gravel shoulder on each side. Passing is permitted within the study area as indicated by the broken yellow centre line. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Various technical studies were carried out on Kalar Road between Mount Carmel Boulevard and Montrose Road to determine the most suitable speed limit. The studies include collecting speed and volume data, performing a collision analysis and carrying out observations pertaining to general traffic operations, land uses and existing signage. The speed studies reveal that the operating speed is 81 km/h. As the legal speed limit is 80-km/h, motorists are adhering to the posted speed limit. This section of Kalar Road carries approximately 3,000 vehicles per day, which is typical for a rural arterial road just outside the urban boundary. A collision problem does not exist based on a review carried out for the previous three years with only one reported collision involving a motorist striking a wild animal. Kalar Road has a predominantly straight and level alignment providing motorists with good visibility in both directions. All existing traffic signs and pavement markings were observed to be in good condition and installed accordingly with provincial guidelines. As there are no nearby pedestrian generators, pedestrian activity was null. Events at Club Italia are normally scheduled in the evening and on weekends, when the adjacent street traffic is significantly lower than during weekday morning and afternoon peak hours. Based on various technical factors, including but not limited to the operating speed, road design speed, road geometry and cross-section, spacing of intersections and driveways, surrounding land uses, and pedestrian activity, an 80-km/h speed limit is appropriate. Therefore, Staff is recommending that the existing 80-km/h speed limit on Kalar Road between Mount Carmel Boulevard and Montrose Road be maintained. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS There is no cost associated with maintaining the existing speed limit of the roadway, as all required speed limit signs are currently present. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT This initiative is supported by Council's Strategic Priorities, which include developing and implementing a comprehensive Transportation Plan.
