Shelley Gautier represented Canada, on Canada Day at the Para Cycling World Cup and won a gold medal. Competing at the World Cup in Emmen, Netherlands, Shelley was victorious in the individual Time Trial event, and later took her second gold medal (and third of the World Cup season) in the Women's T1 Road Race. Shelley's quote from her athlete blog prior to the event: "Thank you to all of my team members. Everyone contributes in their own way which is wonderful. I could never be a World Class Athlete all by myself. Thank You Thank You!" Shelley won her fourteenth World Title at the Para -Cycling Road World Championships in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa on Saturday, September 2, 2017, bringing Canada's total medal count to six for these championships. She was also awarded two coveted World Champion Rainbow Jersey's. Shelley, who had earlier won the women's T1 category Time Trial, won the 24.3 kilometre Road Race with a time of one hour, one minute and 41 seconds, finishing a lap ahead of Toni Mould of South Africa. The other Canadians competing on this third day of the World Championships were in the Men's H3 60.7 kilometre race. A few important points: • Shelley has also competed in the 2016 Rio Paralympics (Bronze Medalist), 2015 Toronto Parapan Am Games (Silver Medalist), 2012 London Paralympics, and the 2011 Guadalajara Parapan Am Games (Silver Medalist). • Shelley is the only female Cyclist to medal at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games • Shelley is the only T-1 Cyclist male or female from any country in the world to medal at any Paralympic Games. Cycling Canada quoted "Shelley is Canada's most decorated Para Cyclist". Congratulations to Shelley on her outstanding achievements. cc. Bill Matson, Kathy Moldenhauer A Great City ...

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Transportation Services Department TS -2017-34 Pedestrian Crossovers RECOMMENDATION For the information of City Council. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TS -2017-34 October 24, 2017 The Ontario Government enacted legislation that requires drivers, including cyclists, to stop and yield the whole roadway at pedestrian crossovers, school crossings and other locations where there is a crossing guard. In addition, the Province introduced three (3) new types of pedestrian crossovers, referred to as Level 2 crossovers that municipalities can install for persons to safely cross the road with the legal right-of-way. Transportation Staff will be embarking on an educational campaign to inform the public on the rules and regulations concerning these new pedestrian crossovers through newspaper advertisements, the City's website, social media platforms, and brochures. The City's first pedestrian crossover is planned on McLeod Road at the north end of the Warren Woods trail, and is scheduled for installation before the end of 2017, in conjunction with the Warren Woods trail extension to McGarry Drive. Staff will be identifying and reviewing additional locations for 2018. BACKGROUND The Ontario Government enacted legislation that took effect on January 1, 2016 which requires drivers, including cyclists, to stop and yield the entire roadway for a pedestrian at pedestrian crossovers, school crossings and other locations where there is a school crossing guard. Only when pedestrians and school crossing guards have crossed and are safely on the sidewalk can drivers and cyclists proceed. Drivers are not required to stop at the pedestrian crossover if there is not a pedestrian wishing to cross the road. At the same time, the new legislation also requires that pedestrians share the responsibility of safety by not entering the crossover when a vehicle is so close that the driver cannot stop. These new rules do not apply to crosswalks on the stop -controlled Page 33 of 270 2 TS -2017-34 October 24, 2017 leg of intersections or at traffic signals, unless a school crossing guard is actively crossing persons. The Ministry of Transportation in consultation with municipalities from across the province developed the new Level 2 PXO, which offers a feasible means to provide enhanced crossing opportunities for pedestrians. The law governing drivers to stop and wait until pedestrians have fully crossed the road applies at these new types of pedestrian crossovers. There are three types of Level 2 Pedestrian Crossovers which are shown in Appendix A. The type of crossover to be installed is dictated by the speed limit, volume of traffic and the number of lanes in the road cross-section. A pedestrian crossover is warranted when certain thresholds are met in the warrants developed in the Ontario Traffic Manual (Book 15 — Pedestrian Treatments). A traffic signal, either for a mid -block crossing or at an intersection, may be recommended when certain conditions are met. Recently Level 2 Pedestrian Crossovers have been installed within the Niagara Region, including a crossing on St. Paul Street in St. Catharines and a crossing on Regional Road 20 at South Grimsby Road 5 in Smithville. Level 1 Pedestrian Crossovers have been predominantly used in the City of Toronto. Level 1 Pedestrian Crossovers consists of overhead illuminated signs with flashing beacons, regulatory signs at and approaching the crossover and pavement markings on the roadway. There are no Level 1 Pedestrian Crossovers in Niagara Falls. Page 34 of 270 3 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE TS -2017-34 October 24, 2017 The new Level 2 Pedestrian Crossovers are another tool that municipalities can use to provide protection to pedestrians crossing a road, in addition to a traffic signal, a stop sign, a yield sign or an adult school crossing guard. Pedestrian crossovers can be located on the through approach of a stop or yield controlled intersection, mid -block location (between intersections), at an approach to a roundabout or within a channelized right turn island. Typical layouts from Ontario Traffic Manual Book 15 are provided in Appendix B. Pedestrian crossovers cannot be installed on two-way roads that are more than 4 lanes wide, on one-way roads that are more than 3 lanes wide, or any road with a speed limit greater than 60 km/h. In coordination with the first municipal PXO installation, Transportation Staff will embark on an educational campaign to educate the public on these new pedestrian crossovers and the responsibilities of drivers and pedestrians through newspaper advertisements, the City's website, social media platforms, and brochures. Appendix C is the advertisement the City plans to have in the Thursday Citywide newspaper distribution on multiple occasions over the next year. The City's website will have a section devoted to pedestrian crossovers in the Transportation Engineering Section. The first municipally constructed pedestrian crossover (Type B) is planned on McLeod Road at the north end of the Warren Woods trail, and is scheduled for installation before the end of 2017. This location was selected due to the number of pedestrians crossing at this location, there are no alternative safe connections from the Warren Woods subdivision to the school, provides excellent sight lines and involves mature pedestrians. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The installation of the signs and application of pavement markings for the McLeod Road pedestrian crossover is to be carried out by Transportation Services staff. The labour and material costs are accounted for in the approved 2017 Capital Budget. The PXO hardware components are estimated to cost approximately $25,000. The civil work, including trail connections will be completed through the Municipal Works budget. The signals will be installed by Regional Staff. The type of crossover to be installed is determined by the speed limit, volume of traffic and the number of traffic lanes in the road cross-section. Preliminary estimates to install the various types of level 2 pedestrian crossovers are as follows: • Type B - $25,000, due to the requirement for rapid rectangular flashing beacons, an electrical supply or solar panels, pedestrian actuators, and supports for Page 35 of 270 TS -2017-34 October 24, 2017 overhead signs; type B crossovers would typically be installed on arterial or major collector roads; • Type C - $15,000, due to the requirement for rapid rectangular flashing beacons and an electrical supply or solar panels and pedestrian actuators; type C crossovers would typically be installed on major or minor collector roads; and, • Type D - $2,500, as it does not require rapid rectangular flashing beacons, an electrical supply, solar panels or pedestrian actuators; type D crossovers would typically be installed on two-lane local or minor collector roads within subdivisions. All pedestrian crossovers require signage and road markings to be applied conforming to Ontario regulations. Additional costs may be incurred for sidewalk connections, overhead illumination, accessible curb depressions, etc. which Staff will identify on a case-by-case basis. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Encourage multi -modal travel and active transportation initiatives, and enhance motorist, cyclist and pedestrian safety.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TS -2017-36 October 24, 2017 In August 2017, Council approved the installation of `No Stopping' restrictions along Booth Street during school arrival and dismissal periods along with zero tolerance enforcement. The restrictions have created a safer environment for children along Booth Street and have prevented drivers from continuing to damage the boulevard. The implementation of the recommended no stopping restriction is, first and foremost, a safety matter. Parking Enforcement staff have been present on Booth Street providing handouts (attached in Appendix A) to parents educating them on the meaning and location of the posted restrictions as well as provide information on alternate parking opportunities in the area. The focus of the first month had been education and not enforcement, taking into consideration new parents and children to the school environment that may not have been there the previous year. The education process will now be followed up by regular enforcement. To date the program has significantly reduced the use of this area and illegal parking activities. Following implementation of the restrictions, Staff have received concerns by a small number of parents who previously utilized Booth Street for pick-up / drop-off activities. Staff coordinated a meeting to discuss and attempt to mitigate the three (3) parent's specific concerns. Staff also reinforced the safety justification for the restrictions and provided additional information regarding the `Safety Before Convenience' Program. To date, no additional concerns or complains have been received by Staff. Conversely, a number of requests for additional enforcement along Booth Street have been received. Cardinal Newman School continues to experience congestion and delays within its internal driveway facilities. Multiple users are competing for the same space and all are required to circulate through the driveway, exiting onto Beaverdams Road. Cardinal Page 66 of 270 TS -2017-36 October 24, 2017 Newman School and the Niagara Catholic District School Board (NCDSB) have initiated the planning and budgetary processes to develop a comprehensive plan to mitigate these operational issues. Furthermore, City Staff have also collaborated with the School and Board to develop short and long term recommendations to improve the School's internal facilities and overall safety. BACKGROUND Historically, parents parking on Booth Street created safety issues for motorists and children as well as damaging the grass boulevards. Booth Street is one of the main accesses into the subdivision which serves over 500 residences. Safety issues include children crossing in between parked vehicles, restricted access into/from the subdivision and visibility for motorists. These issues are exacerbated in the winter time when snow drifts reduce lane widths and during rain events with motorists vying for the closest parking space available. Alternate parking locations such as on Orchard Grove Parkway continue to be available for parents should they choose to pick up/drop off their children on the street in lieu of on school property. The City of Niagara Falls takes safety issues seriously and has adopted a "safety over convenience" philosophy in school areas. In September of each new school year, Parking Enforcement staff are present on Booth Street and provide handouts to parents educating them on the meaning and location of the posted restrictions as well as provide information on alternate parking opportunities in the area. The focus for the first month had been education and not enforcement taking into consideration new parents and children to the school environment that may not have been there the previous year. The education process is then followed up by regular enforcement. In previous years, the program had not curbed the use of this area and illegal parking continues to be a concern for safety of the area. In August 2017, Council approved the installation of `No Stopping' restrictions along Booth Street during school arrival and dismissal periods along with zero tolerance enforcement. No Stopping signs were subsequently installed to coincide with the start of the new school year. The restrictions have created a safer environment for children along Booth Street and have prevented drivers from continuing to damage the boulevard. The implementation of the recommended no stopping restriction is, first and foremost, a safety matter. Ample parking locations such as on Orchard Grove Parkway continue to be available for parents should they choose to pick up/drop off their children on the street in lieu of on school property. Staff in collaboration with the Principal from Cardinal Newman School have provided notification (via School Newsletter) of the new restrictions to all parents. Following the implementation of the no stopping restrictions, Staff received concerns by a small number of parents who previously utilized Booth Street for pick-up / drop-off activities. Staff coordinated a meeting to discuss and attempt to mitigate these parent's specific concerns. Staff also reinforced the justification for the restrictions and provided Page 67 of 270 3 TS -2017-36 October 24, 2017 additional information regarding the `Safety Before Convenience' Program. To date, no additional concerns or complains have been received. Conversely, a number of requests for additional enforcement along Booth Street have been received. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE As a result of the new restrictions, additional parking demands have been placed on Orchard Grove Parkway and on the schools internal facilities. Throughout the years, the school has carried out several enhancements to the property to better serve parents dropping/picking up their children. The school purchased additional property extending to Beaverdams Road and the parking lot was expanded. At the same time, the internal lot configuration was designed with a kiss and ride configuration to allow for a controlled and safe solution to pick up and drop off their children. Cardinal Newman School continues to experience congestion and delays within its internal facilities. Multiple users are competing for the same space and all are required to circulate through the driveway, exiting onto Beaverdams Road. Cardinal Newman School and the Niagara Catholic District School Board (NCDSB) have initiated the planning and budgetary processes to develop a comprehensive plan to mitigate these operational issues. Furthermore, City Staff have also collaborated with the School and Board to develop short- and long-term recommendations to improve the School's internal facilities and overall safety. These recommendations are noted below: Immediate (Completed October 2017): ✓ School has staggered bus arrival times to allocate additional space in the driveway for kiss and ride operations. ✓ School has coordinated an early dismissal for students departing via the first round of buses and the ELKP Programs to allocate additional space in the driveway for kiss and ride operations. ✓ School will continue to supervise the driveways operations and enforcing no stopping within the Fire Lane, to improve circulation. ✓ School will continue to provide regular notifications to parents via the School's newsletter regarding parking restrictions, appropriate parking locations, restricted locations (i.e., fire lane, bus loading zones), and kiss and ride operations. ✓ NCDSB in collaboration with City Transportation Staff reviewed and enhanced the pavement markings within the school property including: school bus loading zones, kiss and ride, vehicle lanes and no parking zones. (Example illustrated in Appendix B) ✓ NCDSB in collaboration with City Transportation Staff have conducted a signage review on the school property. Page 68 of 270 4 Fall 2017: TS -2017-36 October 24, 2017 NCDSB in collaboration with City Transportation Staff will redesign the Schools internal facilities, including: bus loading and kiss and ride zones, parking facilities, driveway circulation and entrance. NCDSB to conduct the necessary planning and budgetary processes to allow for the construction activities at Cardinal Newman School to occur during the summer of 2018. Summer 2018: Construction/Completion of School Improvements. Lastly, Municipal Works Staff will be carrying out works this Fall to include a sub drain to improve drainage, shoulder rehabilitation and asphalt road patching. Until a sewer separation is completed, there is very limited rehabilitation that can be completed. This work is scheduled to be completed by early -November. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS There are no financial, staffing or legal implications with Staff's recommendations. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Encourage multi -modal travel and active transportation initiatives, and enhance motorist, cyclist and pedestrian safety.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Canadian Niagara Hotels Inc. has requested Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments to permit the development of two, 35 storey hotels and one, 56 storey hotel, providing a total of 1811 hotel rooms, on the lands known as 5383-5383 Robinson Street. The amendments are recommended subject to a redesign and Holding (H) provisions for the following reasons: The proposal complies with Provincial and Regional policies that encourage the efficient use of land and infrastructure and a diverse mix of land uses. A cultural Page 72 of 270 PBD -2017-38 October 24, 2017 heritage report is needed to address PPS interests regarding the interface of development with Queen Victoria Park; - The subject lands are located in the Fallsview Subdistrict of the Central Tourist District which the City's Official Plan intends to be the primary location for high-rise hotels; - The developer is willing to enter into Section 37 agreements and modify the existing agreement to secure: the design of the project; capital facilities contributions; and streetscape improvements; - provided that a minimum 25 metre separation is provided between the tower portions of the hotels, the project is in general conformity with the City's tourist area design guidelines; and - Further study is necessary to ensure the necessary servicing and transportation infrastructure is available and archaeological, heritage, environmental impact and stormwater issues are addressed to the satisfaction of affected agencies. Due to concerns from the Niagara Parks Commission (NPC) with respect to impacts on the forested escarpment and Queen Victoria Park, a geotechnical study, cultural heritage impact assessment and updated environmental study should be submitted to the satisfaction of the NPC prior to passage of the amending by-laws. BACKGROUND Proposal Canadian Niagara Hotels has requested an Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment for a 4.7 hectare (11.7 acre) parcel of land known as 5383 — 5385 Robinson Street. Refer to Schedule 1 to locate the land. The applicant is seeking an Official Plan Amendment to exceed the 30 storey height limit of the Official Plan and a Zoning By-law Amendment to permit 3 hotel towers to be built in 3 phases: two 35 storey, 121 metre tall hotels and one 56 storey, 186 metre tall hotel. The proposed development will also include meeting rooms, retail stores and restaurants, and on-site surface parking and parking garages. Schedule 2 shows details of the proposed development. Schedule 3 is a perspective drawing of the development. The lands are designated in the Official Plan as Tourist Commercial, in part, and Environmental Conservation Area, in part. The applicant is requesting site specific policies to be added to the Official Plan which will permit 3 hotels ranging in height between 35 and 56 storeys in exchange for the contribution of capital facilities to the City as well as streetscaping. The lands are zoned Tourist Commercial (TC -717) with provisions which permits a 28 storey, 110 metre tall hotel. The applicant is requesting that the current zoning be replaced with three new site specific TC zones, one for each of the proposed hotels. Page 73 of 270 3 PBD -2017-38 October 24, 2017 Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses The subject lands were severed from abutting lands to the north in 2016. The majority of the subject lands are flat and currently used as a grassed commercial parking lot. A steep forested moraine extends down to Queen Victoria Park along the easterly limit of the subject lands. This portion of the lands is designated Environmental Conservation Area in the City's Official Plan. Queen Victoria Park is located to the east of the lands. Robinson Street and the Jolley Cut lie to the south. Lands owned by HOCO Limited, which include attractions along Clifton Hill and parking areas, lie to the north. The former City owned rail corridor lies to the west. Circulation Comments Information about the requested Zoning By-law amendments 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. The proposal is consistent with Provincial and Regional policies. — The archaeological assessment submitted noted further study is necessary. The requested Holding (H) Provision should secure the submission of the necessary archaeological assessment. — The Transportation Impact Study should be updated in accordance with Regional standards and resubmitted at the site plan stage. Niagara Parks Commission (NPC) — In accordance with NPC's moraine management policy a 6 metre setback for paths, landscaping and retaining walls to the top of the moraine slope is required in absence of a geotechnical study, while a 15 metre setback from the top of bank is required for all buildings. A portion of the proposed buildings and walkways are within these setbacks. — The NPC requests the Official Plan amendment require updated environmental studies, an updated stormwater management report and a cultural impact study to address concerns about sensitive species on the moraine and impacts on Queen Victoria Park, and a geotechnical slope stability study. — Consideration of the zoning bylaw amendment should be deferred until the above noted studies are completed to the satisfaction of the NPC. Page 74 of 270 4 PBD -2017-38 October 24, 2017 Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) — Comments pending. Transportation Services — No objections to the applications. Transportation Services notes that certain improvements are needed to accommodate the first phase of development, including the addition of traffic signals at the intersections of Robinson Street and Clark Street and Robinson Street and Fallsview Boulevard. Transportation Services supports the request to have holding (H) provisions applied to the land for the future phases of development until the necessary supporting traffic studies are complete. Municipal Works — No objections. A further servicing study is to be done at the site plan stage to identify servicing constraints and required resolutions as it pertains to the lifting of Holding (H) provisions for future phases. — It is anticipated that approval of these amendments will serve to initiate the Robinson Street Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) which will provide an opportunity to review alternatives to improve this corridor over to Stanley Avenue. Funding for this EA may be considered during the 2018 Capital Budget deliberations. Parks Design — No objections to the amendments. The Tourism Policy Review Implementation Guidelines for high rise hotels should continue to be applied at the site plan stage. The escarpment trail system proposed should also be further detailed at this stage. 2% cash -in -lieu of parkland dedication will be payable at Building Permit issuance. Building Services, Fire Services — No objections. A review of fire safety and Ontario Building Code matters will be applicable at the site plan and Building Permit stages. Legal Services — No objections. Neighbourhood Open House A neighbourhood open house was held on September 20, 2017 and was attended by 2 representatives of nearby land owners. The attendees did not offer any objections or concerns and noted they were obtaining further information on the proposal to report back to Page 75 of 270 5 PBD -2017-38 October 24, 2017 their clients. Questions were asked about the project's compliance with the applicable Official Plan policies and the Tourism Policy Review Implementation Guidelines. The applicant's architect answered questions about the project's design and the attendees were provided digital copies of the applicable design, planning and microclimate reports. ANALYSIS Provincial Policy Statement and Growth Plan The Planning Act requires City planning decisions to comply with Provincial policies. These policies encourage the efficient use of land and infrastructure and a diverse mix of land uses. The Provincial Policy Statements require that planning authorities not permit development adjacent to cultural heritage properties unless an evaluation has been conducted to demonstrate the heritage attributes of the protected property will be conserved. Queen Victoria Park is a cultural heritage landscape. The NPC has requested a study be conducted to evaluate impact, if any. Official Plan Most of the subject lands are designated Tourist Commercial in the City's Official Plan and located in the Fallsview Subdistrict of the Central Tourist District. This Subdistrict is intended to be the primary location for high-rise hotels. Building heights of up to 30 storeys are permitted to be considered in this area. The portion of the lands abutting Queen Victoria Park consist of tree -covered gullies along the moraine edge which is designated Environmental Conservation Area in the Official Plan. Use of this portion is limited to conservation and may include small scale passive recreational uses, such as trails, and ancillary uses. The Tourist Commercial designation of the Official Plan contains policies to guide tourist development which would enhance Niagara Falls as a world class tourism destination. These are summarized as follows: High standards of building design are promoted along with buildings of variable heights that do not form a continuous wall of development; Reduction of building heights toward the periphery of the tourist core and minimization of shadowing on residential areas; Development of design criteria to ensure new buildings add distinct and interesting features to an internationally recognizable skyline and are reduced in mass above the podium. Building heights greater than 30 storeys can be considered through an Official Plan Amendment provided it is demonstrated that no significant adverse impacts are created. Matters such as shadowing on residential areas, streets and green spaces; encroachments on the views of the Falls of other landowners; and creation of wind impacts at the street level are to be addressed in considering such a development. Page 76 of 270 PBD -2017-38 October 24, 2017 In addition, the Official Plan contains policies for that portion of the site designated Environmental Conservation. This designation requires an approved Environmental Impact Study to demonstrate that the proposed development will not have an adverse impact on the natural heritage features. The OP also requires a geotechnical investigation for development to evaluate the impact of development on slope stability of the site. The Official Plan also requires that Council have regard for the NPC's Moraine Management Plan. The proposed development was assessed relative to these policies of the Official Plan. Staff found: The site is located in the middle of the Fallsview Tourist District, where the tall hotels are expected; The proposed hotels are distant from residential areas and streets and have no shadowing impacts on them. In addition, the wooded escarpment and Queen Victoria Park would not impacted by shadow until late in the day; The applicant's environmental study recommended a natural buffer along the top of bank for the moraine. The Parks Commission requests a 6 m (19.6 ft.) natural buffer and that buildings be setback 15 m (49.2 ft.) from the edge unless revisions to the environmental study demonstrates the proposed development will not impact on that portion of the property designated Environmental Conservation Area. The proposal, as submitted, is closer than these setbacks. The 3 hotels represent the front row of development north of Robinson Street. The Official Plan requires that the height and mass of buildings shall be variable so as to not to form a continuous wall over Queen Victoria Park. The buildings are slab in form and do not provide the recommended separation distances between towers. As front row development, requesting excess heights, this project should be held to this standard. Improvements can be made by implementing a separation distance of 25 metres between the three towers which lessens the wall effect and affords better opportunities for views for future development to the west. The submission of a microclimate study concluded the project is too far removed to have an impact on the mist from the Horseshoe Falls. The impacts of the wind between the 3 towers has been mitigated at ground level through the interconnection of the podiums. Thus there will be no unmitigated adverse impacts. The two hotels closest to Robinson Street are twin towers with the most northerly tower creating architectural interest due to its taller more slender form. While the 35th floor of each building will have an outdoor pool, it results in a weak architectural roof feature in the skyline. The proposal, nonetheless, proposes interconnecting walkways which in itself will be unique. Page 77 of 270 7 PBD -2017-38 October 24, 2017 - The zed shaped form of the buildings provide some articulation, but the repetition of materials is somewhat lackluster. Further detailing of the towers at the site plan stage will be sought to enhance the development to the benefit of the skyline. A draft Official Plan Amendment has been submitted by the applicant. This amendment makes provision for community benefits through Section 37 Agreement requirements, discussed later. The OPA requires the implementation of a holding (H) provision for the future phases (second and third hotels) until further transportation and servicing studies are completed to address capacity. The Amendment should also include policies to require further archaeological study, a cultural heritage evaluation, updated environmental impact study and stormwater management studies. A geotechnical report is needed, before the by-law(s) can be passed to determine the appropriate setbacks from the edge of the moraine. Architectural Design Review All building proposals in the Tourist Commercial area greater than 10 storeys are subject to an Architectural Design Review process. The applicant's architect submitted an Architectural Design Brief, as required by the City's revised process. The Brief evaluates the project's conformity to the 7 principles contained in the City's Tourism Policy Review Implementation Handbook. Staff have reviewed the Brief; findings are as follows: Principle 1 — Positive Building Base The first phase of the project proposes a landscaped strip between the sidewalk and the surface parking lot along the Robinson Street frontage. This would meet minimum requirements. In future phases of development, a parking garage with ground floor commercial uses along Robinson Street is proposed to engage pedestrians along the street frontage in accordance with this principle. Details such as architectural cladding on the parking levels and canopies at the pedestrian level are recommended to be refined during the Site Plan stage. Landscaping and walkways on the escarpment side should be revised to reflect findings of the applicant's environmental study. Principle 2 — Public Realm at Grade The site is currently subject to a Section 37 Agreement for streetscape improvements abutting the former rail corridor to the west and Robinson Street which includes tree planting, sidewalks and benches. Revisions to the Section 37 Agreement will be necessary to reflect this proposal. Details are discussed later in this report. Principle 3 — Skyview This principle seeks to ensure light and transparency is provided between building towers above the podium level through a set of built -form regulations. The setback of the southerly tower has an appropriate setback from the Robinson Street ROW of 13 metres. However the project departs from the following built -form regulations: Page 78 of 270 N. PBD -2017-38 October 24, 2017 - Separation between hotel towers above the podium is only 14 metres (45.9 ft.) whereas 25 metres (82 ft.) is required, - Setback of the northerly tower from the north property line is only 0.85 metres (2.7 ft.) whereas 12.5 metres (39.3 ft.) is required, - Whereas, a maximum 1 to 1.5 width to length ratio is permitted, a 1 to 4 width to length ratio is provided; and - Maximum floor plate size is exceeded, whereas a maximum of 1115 sq. m. is permitted, 1500 sq. m. is proposed for the southerly two towers and 730 to 1260 sq. m. is proposed for the northerly tower. The applicant's architect noted that the reductions in separation distances between towers are needed to reduce the length of the skywalk at the 35th level. He is of the opinion that the angled profile of the two southerly hotels assist in mitigating the greater mass of these two buildings. However the combination of the reduced separation between the buildings, the increased length to width ratio and increased floor plate size all contribute to creating a wall of development when viewed from Queen Victoria Park or the City. This is a large scale development that needs adequate spacing between the buildings to mitigate their massing. Planning staff recommend that a minimum separation of 25 metres be required to be provided between the hotel towers. This could be achieved by reducing the floor plate sizes on the central and northerly hotel towers between the 3rd and 35th levels by about 2-3 rooms each floor, a modest reduction give there are in excess of 1800 rooms proposed. This separation distance would be similar to the separation distance provided between the two taller towers of the Hilton Hotel. This would also reduce the massing of the complex and would improve the amount of sky between the towers. The resulting spacing could also afford some view opportunities for future hotels in the second tier. Principle 4 — Skyline Height This principle states that the taller the building, the greater the emphasis should be on slenderness and visible skyview between towers. A diversity of building heights can be considered in the tourist core, but heights should be stepped down along Queen Victoria Park to minimize shadowing and view corridors towards the Skylon Tower should be established for new buildings within 300 metres of the Tower. The proposal meets this principle as follows: - The three hotels would provide additional height to the skyline; - Provided the separation distance between the hotel towers is increased as recommended above, acceptable skyview will be provided between the buildings; - Although there is no step-down to the escarpment rim, due to the orientation of the buildings to the north-northwest of Queen Victoria Park, the architectural Page 79 of 270 A PBD -2017-38 October 24, 2017 submission demonstrates there are no shadowing impacts on the Park until the late afternoon; and Although located about 200 metres from the Skylon, the southerly hotel tower does not appear to substantially affect the iconic status of the Skylon Tower, primarily because a hotel of a similar height is approved on the Skylon Tower property. The two 35 storey hotels in particular have large walls that have mainly glass facades facing the falls. Extensive use of glass facades is discouraged under the City's guidelines. At the site plan stage architectural treatments to break up the massing of the building and avoid a purely glass facade should be explored. Principle 5 - Views and Vistas This principle seeks a scale of development designed to maintain views and exposure to nature. Much has already been said on the wall effect. The development proposes a number of facilities at the 35th level, including a skywalk, infinity pools, and restaurants and terraces to provide new alternative views of the Falls. In addition, the proposal includes landscaped areas and a walkway along the moraine to expose pedestrians to the adjacent natural area. Improvements to the Jolley Cut would extend landscape features on the site into the Park. Principle 6 — Microclimate A Microclimate Study was completed by Theakson Environmental for the development. This study concluded that with the addition of wind mitigation measures (including a continuous podium joining the 3 buildings) there were no adverse impacts created by the development. In addition, Theakson Environmental opines that the project will not impact on the mist dispersion due to its distance from the Falls. There are no concerns with compliance with this principle. Principle 7 — Parking and Circulation This principle seeks to reduce the visual impact of parking lots and traffic impacts caused by remote parking lots by containing parking on-site in garages. The first phase of development will include a parking lot buffered and divided by landscaped strips to screen abutting lands and provide for a more pleasing environment. Parking for future phases will be contained in parking garages animated by ground floor level commercial uses. There are no concerns with compliance with this principle. Moraine Management Plan The Niagara Parks Commission's (NPC) Moraine Management Plan contains policies that require a geotechnical study for any buildings proposed within 100 metres of the escarpment, and states such buildings are required to be 15 metres from the top of the escarpment. The Official Plan states regard should be had for the Moraine Management Plan when considering applications along the escarpment. In addition the City's Tourist Area Development Strategy, which is the basis for the City's Page 80 of 270 10 PBD -2017-38 October 24, 2017 Tourism Policy Review Implementation Handbook, has a similar setback. The NPC has requested that the Official Plan amendment require the completion of a geotechnical slope stability study and to defer the passing of a zoning by-law until this study has been completed. To ensure the escarpment is not adversely impacted this geotechnical study should be completed prior to the passage of the amending by-law. Planning staff note that portions of the two northerly buildings fall within the above noted setback and, depending on the findings of the geotechnical investigation, these two buildings may have to be redesigned to move the building edge away from the escarpment. Zoning By-law The zoning requested would remove the existing approvals for one 28 storey hotel. The applicant has requested site specific Tourist Commercial (TC) zones for each of the three hotel towers. The departures requested from the standard TC regulations are summarized in the following table: ZONE REGULATION EXISTING REGULATION PROPOSED REGULATION Minimum lot area n/a All of the subject lands Minimum front yard 0 m 13 m for hotel, 0 m for depth parking structure Minimum rear yard depth 3m Om 0 m to west lot line, 3 m to Setbacks to building Minimum side yard width east lot line components established in a detailed schedule 121 m (southerly two Maximum building height 12 m towers) 186 m (northerly tower) Maximum floor area of 3530 sq. m. per property 7060 sq. m. for all the all retail stores subject lands Loading requirements 3 spaces plus 1 space for 3 spaces for south tower each 4600 sq. m. of floor 3 spaces total for northerly area over 9300 sq. m. of two towers floor area All subject lands to be treated as one for n/a yes purpose of by-law regulations Page 81 of 270 11 PBD -2017-38 October 24, 2017 The following requested amendments can be supported for the following reasons • The request to apply zoning regulations, including lot area, to the entire site is a technical measure as the site will function as a whole despite different branded hotel towers. This provision will also allow required parking for each hotel tower to be provided within future parking garages on the west side of the property; • The requested front yard depth provides an adequate setback for the hotel tower while allowing the ground floor of the parking structure, containing commercial uses to animate the Robinson Street frontage; • The requested rear yard would permit a hotel tower to be erected almost at the north property line. Although the design guidelines discourage this, a ravine immediately to the north east of the property places some limitation on constructing buildings immediately to the north of this hotel tower. However, a geotechnical study is required to address the slope stability and an appropriate distance setback; • Typical of other high rise hotels, the side yard setbacks will be controlled through a by-law schedule that will define building components and their heights. The proposed schedule identifies no -build setbacks of between 24 and 48 metres from the easterly side lot line to protect the forested escarpment. To permit the parking garages, this schedule should maintain existing building height provisions (12 metres) between the hotel towers and the east property line; The requested building height reflect the proposed tower heights, including roof top mechanical rooms and terraces; and The reduction in loading spaces does not create any traffic issues. A common loading area for the two northerly towers will be created adjacent to the central hotel with service corridors to serve both these hotels. As discussed earlier, the amending by-law should secure a minimum setback of 25 metres between the hotel towers, above the 2 storey podium level. Holding (H) Provisions The applicant has requested that the site specific zone provisions for the Phase 2 and Phase 3 hotels (central and northerly towers) be subject to hold (H) provisions pending completion of any necessary sanitary sewer and transportation studies demonstrating that there is sufficient capacity to support the these phases of development. The applicant's transportation consultant has identified intersection improvements, including left turn lanes at the Robinson Street/Clark Street and Robinson StreetHStanley Avenue intersections, are required with the future phases. Sanitary sewer models should be updated which each phase. In addition the H provisions should address submission of necessary archaeological reports as requested by the Region. Page 82 of 270 12 Passage of the Amending By-laws PBD -2017-38 October 24, 2017 The Niagara Parks Commission (NPC) has expressed concerns about the compliance of the project with their moraine management policy and the need for a geotechnical study, also required by the City's OP. In addition the NPC has noted that Queen Victoria Park is a Provincially Significant Provincial Heritage Property and has requested a cultural heritage impact assessment be completed, and the environmental impact statement and stormwater study submitted by the applicant does not fully address impacts on the moraine. The NPC has requested the above noted studies be submitted or resubmitted prior to passage of the amending by-laws. As these studies may impact on the design or siting of these buildings, Staff recommend that the amending by-laws not be passed until these studies have been submitted to the satisfaction of the NPC. Section 37 Agreements Section 37 agreements are permitted under the Planning Act to secure streetscape and community facilities, in return for increased height. All projects over 4 storeys in height in the City's tourist area are required to pay for streetscape improvements on abutting streets. A Section 37 Agreement is already registered on the property requiring an $85,500 contribution along the Robinson Street frontage of the property and a $545,850 contribution along the former rail corridor frontage of the property (potentially a pedestrian route) in combination with the property to the north. This Section 37 Agreement should be updated to reflect current costs and reduced to reflect the frontage of the subject site on the former rail corridor. Where it is determined that development over 30 stories has planning merit, a cash contribution based on 5% of the construction cost for the net floor area over 30 storeys is required in return for the height increase. The net floor area excludes elevator and stairwell shafts, mechanical rooms and ventilation shafts. Staff estimates the contribution to be about $750,000 for the first phase and $4,000,000 for the whole development. As per established practice, separate Section 37 agreements should be secured for each phase of development. The applicant has requested that contributions be directed to the following municipal community facilities: Improvements to the Robinson Street corridor, including streetscaping, removal of the disused rail bridge and construction of a new roundabout Pedestrian connections to Queen Victoria Park. Improvements to the former rail corridor Staff note that an Environmental Assessment (EA) should be initiated to study improvements to the Robinson Street corridor and propose to add this to the list of 2018 capital projects for consideration by Council. Staff do not object to the addition of this project to the list of projects to be considered. Page 83 of 270 13 PBD -2017-38 October 24, 2017 With respect to connections to Queen Victoria Park, Staff note that upgrades to the Jolley Cut are needed to ensure it is safe for public use. The Jolley Cut coincides with the Robinson Street road allowance and extends almost to the table land of the Park. Staff have no concerns with this matter being added to the list, provided the Jolley Cut is included. Basic improvements to the former rail corridor will be secured through the streetscape contributions noted above. A pedestrian trail forms a logical connection between the bridge to the Skylon Tower extending in close proximity to Clark Street connecting with the pedestrian realm along Victoria Avenue. The capital contribution may be used to secure additional improvements, such as public art. As with other projects of this magnitude the general architecture and design of the project would be secured in the Section 37 Agreement. Tree Preservation Planning staff note that a substantial number of trees along the escarpment rim are proposed to be removed to accommodate a trail system. Some of these trees are in good health and contribute to the view of a forested escarpment from Queen Victoria Park. Furthermore the applicant's environmental consultant recommends a natural buffer be provided within 3 metres of the drip -line on the top of the slope. The provision of this buffer will result in modifications to the landscaping scheme shown on Schedule 2, including shifting the walkway away from the escarpment rim. It is recommended that the developer work with staff at the site plan stage to provide this buffer and preserve some of these trees. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The proposed development will provide development charges, cash -in -lieu of parkland dedication and new tax assessment for the City.

Reasons for our objection are as follows: The skyline adjacent to Queen Victoria Park is already dominated by the hotels in the Fallsview area. Approvals are already in place for three additional hotels on the former Loretto property. If all of these hotels are built, it will appear as a solid wall of structures from Mount Carmel to Clifton Hill. Increasing this density will only further diminish the natural setting of the falls environment which we believe warrants preservation. In addition, the land area in question cannot possibly provide the parking areas required to service the proposed 1,811 hotel rooms. Furthermore, it is clear that traffic and other issues that have become exacerbated every time there is a particular event in the city. New Year's eve, Canada Day and other holiday weekend celebrations already demonstrate that the infrastructure and traffic management in the area bounded by Clifton Hill, Victoria Avenue and McLeod Rd. are already well beyond this City's ability to manage crowds and traffic. What steps are being taken on this property and beyond by the City, Regional police, and the CNH to address problems that are already evident? Any attempts to further intensify occupancy in this area must be accompanied by measures to address these matters.

Amidst the many other serious concerns --- height, density, traffic, and so on — raised about the r proposal to build two condo towers on River Road (AM -2017-11 ), 1 have a specific recommendation about possible geophysical hazards. I recommend that the current proposal, or any proposal of similar magnitude, not be approved until engineers expert in rock engineering and slope stability assessment certify that the risk of environmental damage to the Niagara Gorge and to nearby homes, as well as the risk of future instability of the towers themselves, is no higher than for projects commonly approved in other jurisdictions. The developer may already have obtained such an assessment, but I don't believe so, since none of Time Development Group's representatives at last Monday's meeting cited it in response to my questions in this regard, What I recommend is something more than routine borehole data on substrata. The expertise that needs to be called upon can be found in the Rock Mechanics section of the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto (htt ://civil.en ginecrin .utoronto.ca/research/minin - eomechanics/rock-mechanics/), in consulting companies like Roescience in Toronto (https://www.roescience.com/company/about- us/our-tcam), and in similar professional organizations elsewhere. The need for such an assessment is supported by six plain facts: 1. No building of such height and weight has yet been built so close to the edge of the Niagara Gorge, least of all one resting on four levels for underground parking that will have to be carved out of the escarpment, possibly even by blasting. To see how unprecedented the proposed project is, one need only study satellite photos of the area along the Niagara River from the falls to Niagara -on -the -Lake. The gorge has a history of instability, especially due to freezing and thawing of water that seeps into fissures from the Niagara River above the falls. The collapse of the huge Schoellkopf Power Plant in 1956, directly across the gorge from the development site, was the worst disaster due to rock instability. The collapse of Prospect Point in 1954 is another example; this was next to the American falls, about one km south of the development site. There have been numerous other rockfalls, including those that forced abandonment of the railway at the base of the gorge. Page 91 of 270 3. When a new building on this very site was proposed in 2008 (AM -2008-01), a building only about one third the size of what is currently proposed, the project was strongly opposed by local resident Bill Barratt, owner of the company that had installed concrete lighting poles along River Road. In a letter to the city, available in the online file, Mi.. Barratt warned about the geological risks of large-scale construction on this site, and he enclosed photos of the Schoellkopf collapse. Mr. Barratt died in 2011. He would undoubtedly have even greater reservations about the present proposal. 4. Buildings even taller than those proposed have been built successfully near the edge of the escarpment in the Fallsview Casino District, but these are at a much higher elevation than the development site on River Road. They are far above the level of the Niagara River. Stormwater drains away from rather than toward their foundations. Seepage through fissures is of less concern. Alan Tregebov, architect for the buildings proposed on River Road, acknowledged at Monday's open house his concern about fissures in the rocks. Anyone observing the walls of the gorge in winter can see the patches of ice on the rockface where these fissures empty into the gorge. The development site on River Road is a more fragile natural environment than where the tall hotels now stand. 5. Representatives of Time Development Group at Monday's open house acknowledged that this relatively small company has never built a high-rise building before — not anywhere, much less in Niagara Falls. Nor has it built townhouses or single-family homes in this city. Prudence therefore dictates pulling in such outside expertise as is necessary to ensure a safe and successful construction project. 6. One point of agreement between the developer and the host community is that both are eager for the construction of housing on this site. It has been an ugly, unused blight on the city for more than ten years, doing no good for anybody. Almost everybody is in a hurry for redevelopment. This is a good thing, so long as no corners are cut with respect to safety and environmental concerns. I am no more expert in rock science and environmental hazards than are the planners, the Mayor, and the Councillors of our city. I do not pretend to know how high or how deep buildings on the River Road redevelopment site can safely be built. For the six reasons summarized above, therefore, I believe that before any project of the proposed magnitude is approved, expertise in rock mechanics and slope stability assessment should be formally sought out. I appreciate the city's government's attention to this recommendation.

(01- CD II CC : C_O_ plc' S In response to the information sheet, "Fourteen Fast Facts,” that I circulated in our neighbourhood about the proposal to build 12- and 21 -storey condo towers on River Road between Philip and John Streets (AM -2017-11), I received an email from an anonymous person, apparently with relevant technical expertise, who said he does "not want to be directly involved or engaged in any dealings with the City on this matter," but that I, "as a citizen and taxpayer" can forward his information however I wish. I have decided, therefore, to forward his email to you. He asks me to correct his English, apparently not his first language. I have the impression that he may be a recent immigrant to Canada from a country where people are not free to question civic authorities. Indeed, he cautions me to be careful. Following are the main paragraphs of his email: "Given the geologic characteristics of the Great Gorge, the first, no-brainer question is whether this project can be safely built so close to the steep, weathered, deep cliff. "The five lines in your very valuable flyer may not be enough to highlight the danger associated with failure of the Great -Gorge -Rock -Cliff, which is known to have been problematic for construction in the past. "It is not only the issue of vibration and potential blasting shock waves, but also of increased stress on the rock caused by the weight of the thousands of tons of Page 93 of 270 To: The Director of Planning, Building and Development Dear Mr. Herlovitch: In regards to the development between John and Philip Streets in the city of Niagara Falls On, we do have some comments and obJections. 1. The width of Blondin Ave. is hardly adequate for two cars to pass and will need some work especially with such an increased amount of traffic that will result if this development should take place. Access to the QEW will also be increased and traffic off of the Rainbow Bridge could be held up because of residents trying to access the highway from the complex. 2. Blasting of the ground rock at this site could impact the lower gorge and the River MIMTIT-�* 3. The number of proposed apartments is too large a number for the area. The roads surrounding the complex will be packed with cars and the noise factor of this as well as our other noise problems e.g. Buses and helicopters (from the American side) will surely be increased. If residents resort to the laneway between Hiram and John St. this will cause noise, dust and fumes in our back yard. 4. This is a very old part of the city and we have had problems with our old sewers and water pipes. Thank you for Hiram St. repaired approximately 5 years ago. 5. Will the pump station at the Bird Kingdom be able to handle the waste from 390 apartments? Thank you for your time and attention to our concerns. We certainly are against such a massive development as this proposal. Sincerely, WUMIUM an Linda (Savriga) Haitos 4443 Hiram Street RECE VE SEP 19 2011 PLANNING & QEVELQPMENT� U Page 94 of 270 Densification was cited byMr. Guettaras being inline with provincial guidelines. l mmsure the city |mmindful, however, ofthe 6Oand 61storey development which has already been approved by council for the opposite cornerofJohn St. and River Rd. (the Luxury Resort by Hunter M|Uborne and Ra|phTerrio). Mr. Guotber|nd|catad he did not know if and when that high rise development would be proceeding, but according to the attached article from the Daily Commercial News dated May 1, 2017, the 60 and 61 storey development is in fact proceeding, with groundbreaking to commence in 3 to 3 years. In nnyview, those towers will provide more than enough densification within our community. Accordingly, the proposed 21storey tower (Tower 1) should be restricted in height to a maximum of 10 - 12 storeys. 4. Traffic is also anobvious concern forme, amJohn St. would provide the only access to parking for the proposed condo development. Right now, our street is very quiet. With approximately 400 additional cars going in and out of the proposed condos each day, that would change drastically. To add to the problem, it appears from a perusal of the plan for the Milborne/Terrio 60 and 61 storey development on the opposite corner of John St. and River Rd. that access to parking for that high rise development would likely also be via John St. or John/Blondin, which would no doubt result in a traffic nightmare when both developments are completed. It appears clear that John St. will bear the brunt of negative impact from the proposed condo, with the taller of the two towers on John St. and access to parking for the proposed development also situated onJohn St. Potentially, access toparking for the approved 60 and 61 storey development might also be on John St. or Blondin, which would further aggravate the traffic pvoNemmhnanunacceptable degree. For the reasons cited above, lwould therefore request that consideration begiven tothe following: 1. That a height restriction of 10 - 12 storeys, for the tower on John St. and River Rd. (Tower 1) be implemented and that approval not be given for the 21 -storey tower, for the reasons cited above. 2. Regardless m[the, height cfthe tower onJohn St. and River Rd agraen space or buffer zone should be incorporated into the plan (next tuthe ramp to the parking: garage anJohn St-)toprovide atransition from the proposed development tuthe two-storey idnext toit. Asstated, the absence ofany transitional green space wi,ll definitely result in a poor view for residents of John St. and would no doubt result |n privacy issues. 3, In view of the fact that the only access to parking for the proposed condo is on John St., and in view of the fact that the approved 68 and 61 storey development omthe opposite corner ofJohn St. and River Rd. will also have a drastic impact on John St. traffic, consideration should be given to amending the plan of the proposed condo tmprovide access toparking from astreet other than John St. The above comprises my concerns with respect to the proposed development, and I thank you for Your time inconsidering them. % truly hope that the developer, city hall, and our ncere y, Rita Vetere Page 95 of 270 For the public meeting at City Hall, 5:00 PM Monday, September 18, 2017 EP 19 2V, FOURTEEN FAST FACTS12 110 111� about the proposal of Time Development GroupNRM to build 12- and 21-storey towers ' d on River Load, between Philip and John Streets � n y M N Y 1. Current zoning: low-rise, high density. The development plan approved by Council in 2008 provides for 119 units in a long, narrow building of 7 storeys at the south end (John Street) and 4 storeys at the north end (Philip Street). The density approved is 96 units per acre. 2, Proposed zoning: high-rise, super -high density (as shown above right). The current proposal is for 390 units in two apartment towers of 12 and 21 storeys. This works out to a density of 200 units per acre. 3. Density even higher than in the proposal earlier withdrawn. In 2006, over the objections of its Department of Planning, City Council approved a 29 -storey tower for this site, with a density of 155 units per acre. Residents protested. Niagara Region disapproved. The property changed hands. The 2008 rezoning currently in force (density of 96 units per acre) was a kind of compromise, but the economy slowed. No construction took place. 4. Lending the developer a helping hand. In 2006, residents objected to the proposed development on grounds that it would interfere with their use of River Lane. This objection no longer counts, because the section of River Lane between Philip and John Streets no longer exists. Last February, after Time Development bought the development site and informed the city of its plans for the 12- and 21 -storey towers, City Council closed this section of River Lane, declared it disused and surplus, and sold it to Time Development. 5. Cheap land for sale —sorry, sold How much did Time Development have to pay? $12,000, or about $15 per m2 (according to the report to Council of City Solicitor Ken Beaman and CACP Ken Todd, the land amounted to 845 m2,). The minutes do not show anyone suggesting that the land might have been sold too cheap, or that other abutting landowners should have been allowed to bid. 6. Might the towers fall into the gorge? No building as tall or heavy as those proposed has yet been built so close to the edge of the Niagara Gorge. In 2008, Bill Barratt, president of the company that installed the lighting poles along River Road, was worried about the geological risk and unintended effects of blasting the bedrock. He registered his concerns with the city's Planning Department, enclosing photos of the Schoellkopf disaster in 1956 —directly across the river from where the 12- and 21 -storey towers would be built. Mr. Barratt died in 2011. 7. New skyscrapers in an ofd neighbourhood. Currently, super -tall buildings in Niagara Falls are almost all in the Fallsview Casino area. The buildings proposed would be the tallest north of the Rainbow Bridge and Highway 420, taller even than Buckley Towers near Victoria Avenue, currently the tallest, with 14 storeys. The proposed towers would dwarf the heritage homes, duplexes, and bed and breakfasts in the residential area along River Road. 8. The proposed towers are short compared to what Council has approved for next door. In 2012, City Council approved a redevelopment plan for the adjacent properties to the south —where Bird Kingdom and Travelodge are now. That plan, proposed by partners Ralph Terrio and Hunter Milborne, allows for construction of two 60 -storey towers for a resort. After five years, no construction has begun.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: F-2017-36 Monthlx Tax Receivables Re ort — Se tember 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 September 30, 2017 were $23.1 million compared to $22.9 million in 2016. During September, tax receivables as a percentage of taxes billed decreased from 26.0% in 2016 to 25.4% in 2017. The City's finance staff has had continued success in resolving properties that are subject to registration for 2017. At this stage 95.5% of properties have developed payment arrangements or have paid in full. There are currently nineteen 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 2017 lags slightly behind the collection history for 2016. Table 1 shows that taxes outstanding at September 30, 2017 are $23.1 million. This represents an increase from $22.9 million in arrears for the same period in 2016. 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 both the commercial property class and the residential property class have decreased 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, 2017, 317 properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of these actions after nine months of activity. This table shows 95.5% of the tax accounts Page 98 of 270 F-2017-36 October 24, 2017 or 303 properties have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment arrangements. During September, eight accounts were paid in full. In addition, the number of accounts with suitable payment arrangements including full payments increased from 94.0% (August) to 95.5% (September). 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 September, two properties were registered. The outstanding taxes for registered properties represents 1.5% 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 September 30, 2017 is 25.4% which is a decrease from 2016's value of 26.0%. The municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to offset the higher measure.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: F-2017-37 Cancellation, Reduction or Refund of Taxes Under Section 357 and 358 of The Munici al Act 2001 RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the cancellation, reduction or refund of taxes on the various accounts per the attached summary and granted to the property owners listed. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Property owners are able to seek remedy from property assessments that are not accurate due to errors in preparation of the Assessment Roll or due to changes in specific circumstances. These remedies are available by virtue of s.357 and s.358 of The Municipal Act, 2001. This report is provided to Council periodically during the fiscal year to attain Council approval of the changes afforded under these sections. This is the second report for 2017. Adjustments totalling $205,889 are being recommended in this report with allocations to be made to City, Regional and School Board revenue. In the 2017 General Purposes Budget, an allowance has been established for these expenditures. At this time the allowance provided in the General Purposes Budget is adequate to account for the City's proportionate share of approximately $72,061. BACKGROUND This report is the second report this year in relation to s.357 and s.358 reductions. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Section 357 and 358 of The Municipal Act, 2001 provides for the cancellation, reduction or refund of taxes for persons who were overcharged by reason of any gross or manifest error in the preparation of the Assessment Roll. Appeals have been received and the applicants have been notified that the respective matters will be considered by City Council this evening. The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation has confirmed that the subject properties were assessed incorrectly in that these properties; had structures that had been demolished or Page 102 of 270 F-2017-37 October 24, 2017 removed, were damaged or razed by fire, have ceased to be liable at the rate it was taxed, became exempt, or a transposition, typographical, or clerical error was made. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The 2017 General Purposes Budget provides an allowance for tax write-offs due to assessment appeals and tax write offs. Table 1 is a listing of all the properties that staff is recommending receive adjustments due to successful appeals. An amount of $205,889 in adjustments is listed. The City's approximate portion is $72,061 and has been accounted for in the 2017 General Purposes Budget. The balance of approximately $133,828 represents adjustments for the School Boards and the Region of Niagara. These adjustments will be made as part of the year end reconciliations.

That staff be authorized to enter into a maintenance agreement with the Regional Municipality of Niagara for streetscape enhancements associated with the Lundy's Lane Streetscape Revitalization Project. 3. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary contract documents. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to seek Council's approval to award the Lundy's Lane Streetscape Revitalization Project Phase 1 — Street Tree Planting contract to the low bidder, Stevensville Lawn Service Inc. for the amount of $474,535.00. The contract amount is within budget forecasts. No additional funding is necessary. BACKGROUND Funding was allocated for the Lundy's Lane Streetscape Revitalization Project Phase 1 through the 2017 Capital Budget.

Within this area improvements will include; a western gateway at Garner Road, a minor gateway at Kalar Road, street tree planting, street furniture improvements, utility box wraps, street lighting upgrades and landscaping. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE To implement the street tree planting component of the Lundy's Lane Streetscape Revitalization Phase 1 a tender call was issued on August 29, 2017 and closed on October 10, 2017. Two contractors purchased tenders however only one contractor submitted a bid. Page 106 of 270 2 MW -2017-46 October 24, 2017 Contractor Cltv Tender Price Corrected Bid Stevensville Lawn Service Inc. Stevensville ON. $480,535.00 $474,535.00 Staff completed a thorough review of the bid and found it met all necessary contractual requirements. Staff anticipates street tree planting work will commence in November 2017 with completion late 2017 (subject to weather and site conditions).

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council Transportation Services TS -2017-37 RFQ59-2017 Snow Clearing of Transit Stops, School Crossings RECOMMENDATION 1) That council award the contract for the snow clearing of transit stops and school crossings for the period ending April 30, 2019 to Snow Wrangler. 2) That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary Agreement. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Niagara Falls Transit has 558 bus stops throughout the municipality and the WEGO system has an additional 52 stops serviced by the Red, and Blue Lines which are operated by the City. At the present time, 225 of the combined 610 bus stops are being cleared of snow/ice. In addition to the bus stops there are 44 School Crossings, of which 30 are being cleared of snow and ice. This Report will indicate which bus stops and school crossings are being cleared of snow and ice, how this list was developed, and the protocol employed to inform the contractor when to perform the work. BACKGROUND The duration of the contract for the 2017-2019 winter seasons will commence on: November 1, 2017 at 00:01 a.m. and terminate on April 30, 2018 at 11:59 p.m., and November 1, 2018 at 00:01 a.m. and terminate on April 30, 2019 at 11:59 p.m The contractor shall be available during the entire contract duration. Niagara Falls Transit and our WEGO buses service 610 bus stops throughout the city as well as 44 school crossings. Winter weather conditions can create challenges for residents to access many of these stops and crossings. To address this matter, Transportation staff introduced a bus stop snow clearing protocol in 2008 and the school crossing snow clearing protocol was developed in 2013. The intent was to Page 112 of 270 TS -2017-37 October 24, 2017 continue to enhance the program each year in a fiscally responsible approach, based on new services introduced, and ongoing requests to add more stops to our current clearing list of 225 bus stops and 30 school crossings. The program has been structured to include the following elements; The successful contractor must be available for snow clearing at the specified Transit Stops and School Crossings List (Attachment 1) from November 2017 to April 2019. The successful Contractor shall ensure that the specified Transit Stop Locations and School Crossings are cleared in such a manner that snow, debris, ice, etc. is not placed on a municipal sidewalk or roadway, or in any manner that will impede the use of any adjoining sidewalk, laneway, driveway, intersection or private property access. Clearing shall mean leaving a navigable passage for pedestrians from the sidewalk/walkway or roadway to the adjacent roadway a minimum of three (3) feet wide and in such a manner as to provide safe footing to the best of their ability taking into consideration the weather conditions at the time. • The successful contractor shall be required to supply all tools, equipment, materials and labour necessary to carry out the work while clearing the snow and applying salt at the locations. The contractor shall ensure the work is completed within 8 hours of receiving the notification from Transit staff. The abovementioned snow removal activities are commenced on a `call out' basis utilizing the following factors: Weather — Staff review weather reports and receive updates from the Service Centre team to determine the best time to activate the contractor. This allows the process to occur in the most fiscally responsible manner as it may snow two (2) inches on day one, and an additional four (4) on the following day. The call would be made to clear the stops on the second day to address the full six (6) inches of snow. Also, if there was no snow fall, but a safety concern arose due to freezing rain, staff would engage the contractor to salt the stops and crossings to melt the ice. Other Snow Clearing Activities — Staff endeavor to monitor the activities of the municipal road and sidewalk clearing activities, as well as the Region's snow plowing activities to ensure the bus stop and school crossing clearing activities are constructive. Although timing is often a challenge, staff try to engage the clearing after the streets and sidewalks have been addressed to reduce the need for multiple call outs per event. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The list of bus stops and school crossing to be cleared is reviewed annually with consideration given to the following factors; ridership per stop, proximity to Page 113 of 270 3 TS -2017-37 October 24, 2017 education/medical/retail/municipal, and senior residences. With respect to WEGO stops, all the stops are on the list to be cleared. It is the intent of staff to continue to enhance the program annually by adding bus stops to the list in a fiscally responsible manner. By engaging the `call out' protocol, Transportation staff deem they are able to provide the service in a responsible manner, which balances the ability to effectively clear the stops and crossings for safety and convenience while endeavoring to control the cost associated with clearing 225 bus stops and 30 School crossings. In a continued effort to be fiscally responsible, Staff issued a request for quotation (RFQ) for snow clearing of transit and school crossing guard locations. The City of Niagara Falls received 2 RFQ submissions. A group of staff members from Parking Services, Transportation Engineering and Transit Services reviewed the proposals independently. Snow Wrangler was the lowest cost bidder and met all of the RFQ requirements. The cost provided by the other submission was substantially higher than that of Snow Wrangler. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The `call out' protocol is the best manner to remain within budget and effectively address the clearing and salting of stops. The cost per `call out' is $3,941.00. The total annual budget for snow clearing/salting is $ ($60,000.00 — City Bus Stops $10,000.00 — WEGO Bus Stops and $10,000.00 School Crossings). In the event that no snow clearing services are required, as a result of non -winter weather in any month of the winter control season, standby will be paid for that month at a cost of $500.00 per standby month. In the months where snow clearing services have been provided, standby is not applicable and will not be paid. The service is contracted and thus, there are no staffing implications. With respect to Legal Implications, slips and falls do occur throughout the city and are addressed on an individual basis through the Risk Management process. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The provision of snow clearing/salting of bus stops supports the City's 2015 - 2018 Strategic Priorities, which includes a commitment to employing a safe, accessible, convenient, integrated, environmentally and fiscally responsible transportation system that provides a City that is truly accessible to locals and visitors.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: F-2017-35 City Procurement E -Bidding Software RECOMMENDATION F-2017-35 October 24, 2017 That Council award eSolutions Bids and Tenders software a contract for the development of an electronic bid program for the City of Niagara Falls. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City staff are updating the purchasing policies of the City in a multi -phase approach. The first phase of this project was to review the process for soliciting and receiving bids for services since the current bid site software being used by the City is out of date. New software is required to streamline the process and become complaint with the new legislation and improve bidding efficiencies. City staff has reviewed all software products available and what other municipalities have recently done in this regard and have identified that eSolutions Bids and Tenders software is the one that best meets all requirements. Further phases of this product along with an update on implementation of this proposal will be provided to Council early in 2018. BACKGROUND The City of Niagara Falls has used the same tendering process for many years and is a highly manual and paper system. Like most administrative functions, technological improvements have been developed that improve the process of tendering for goods and services. The benefit of these changes are twofold, these improve administrative efficiency by reducing errors and improves the flow of information to and from interested bidders and the City during the process. Staff involved in the tendering process have experienced an increasing number of non- compliance bids due to process errors and miscommunication under the current system. To address these concerns, staff undertook a review of best practices in municipal procurement as many public sector agencies have moved to an electronic procurement (eProcurement) process. Page 131 of 270 F-2017-35 October 24, 2017 I_1►111 W&'3!;' I1 Evg1101►/_111:� Staff undertook a process that compared various eProcurement Solutions products available on the market at this time. Staff met with other municipalities that presently have an electronic bid system to understand the product process and implementation requirements. This included municipalities using a variety of systems. Based on this review, staff have concluded that eSolutions is the eProcurement solution that best meets all requirements of the City. The primary reason for implementing an eProcurement process is that it includes a self- contained, dedicated system from start to finish with robust digital audit trail. As a result, the process will result in a system that is "error proof' for bid submissions so the City will only receive compliant bid submissions to review. This self-correcting process forces all bidders to submit the correct information throughout the application process. This will ensure that all bids submission addenda have been acknowledged by the bidder which is currently a challenge. Further benefits to the City include the elimination for paper submissions which eliminates waste and staff handling. The system will also negate the need to hold public tender openings, saving staff time and the need for bidders to attend in order to obtain bid information. This will result in improved transparency since bid summaries will be publicly posted in a significant reduced time frame. Likewise, moving towards eProcurement allows the City to be compliant with federal/provincial legislation as the supplier will be required to do this. The system being recommended is used in the City of Hamilton and many other municipalities. In addition, many local municipalities are implementing the system for 2018. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS There are no financial implications to the City as the Software is a user pay model. The information on the bid site can be viewed by all users free of charge. Only those vendors interested in becoming a bidder will be required to register as a member of eSolutions. Since the software vendor is used by many other municipalities, many of the local suppliers will have been set up within the system or will be familiar with the program. To register as a bidder in this site, there is an annual cost to the company ( $165). This fee is collected by the eSolutions Bids and Tenders. This fee allows all registrants to submit unlimited bids with any municipalities register with the supplier. Alternatively, for those bidders only interested in an individual bid opportunity the one-time fee for that bid ($45).

ACCOMPLISHMENTS Provide a one-page highlight of last year's accomplishments (one -three). Include specific information on economic impact and consultations in comparison to targets. Include other information/highlights as appropriate. The Niagara Falls SBEC had targeted 360 annual consultations in the previous 2014-2017 business plan. This number was forecast to consist of 300 new business consultations; and 60 existing business consultations. In the previous year (2016/17) the Niagara Falls SBEC conducted a total of 438 consultations (or 22% more than forecast). Breaking down consultation numbers; 316 were start-up consultations and 122 were existing business consultations (more than double the forecasted 60 existing business consultations). In turn, consultations led to 103 business starts and 138 jobs created. The NFSBEC wrapped up two Ministry funded programs; namely the Summer Company and Starter Company programs. During the Starter Company program duration, 115 youth applied for Starter Company; and 79 took advantage of training or mentoring, or a combination of both. 29 youth received start-up/expansion grants through the program, leading to 50 new businesses being started; and 91 jobs created. These numbers surpassed the targets within the agreement and the program was very popular in the final year of its term. Summer Company had another very successful year with 8 students completing the program. All students spoke highly of the program providers, mentors and enjoyed the learning opportunity that was provided to them. In late 2016/17, in partnership with the St. Catharines Enterprise Centre, the NFSBEC offered the ScaIeUP program to existing business (2+ years of operation). While this program crossed fiscal years, and has now been completed. Interest was strong and businesses utilized funding to run important projects improving their competitiveness. This program allowed 25 businesses to access Scaleup funding. 2. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Provide a brief summary of plans and/or expected focus for the upcoming two years. Outline the main focus of the SBEC from the past and why this may change (if applicable). The NFSBEC will continue work and outreach towards existing businesses and assist in expansion, scaling and job retention. Success was seen with the ScaIeUP Pilot program and consultation numbers have grown amongst existing businesses. The NFSBEC has worked very closely with the Niagara Falls Business Development Department and is currently very well entrenched with the operations of the department. The mixed-use incubation services / office space that we are offering has done well to assist new businesses in their start-up; and work has continued with them after they have moved into their own commercial locations. In early 2017 the City of Niagara Falls purchased the former Niagara Regional Police Service building adjacent to City Hall for $1.1 million. An additional $4 million will be spent to renovate the building and bring it up to modern standards. The investment was made to move the NFSBEC, the City's IT department and another department into this City owned facility. This substantial 16 Page 151 of 270 investment shows the importance that the City of Niagara Falls places on the NFSBEC and a move is expected to take place in the Summer/Fall of 2018 when renovations are complete. Client financing will also continue to be addressed as it has been identified as an obstacle to clients' start-up and expansion. We have worked towards solidifying relationships with funding partners locally; as well as our local CFDC and have worked together to host financing workshops at the SBEC. With the launch of Starter Company Plus we will be working towards ensuring more clients have access to various types of financing options; in addition to training and mentorship. Additional programs and partnerships will be investigated to ensure that clients are able to receive the best options available to them in a simple no wrong door approach. 3.

This has and continues to allow greater collaboration amongst service providers in the Niagara Region. The NFSBEC has worked closely in collaboration with Innovate Niagara and the St. Catharines Enterprise Centre. Collaboration has included learn@lunch seminar series with ONE members, joint program application (ScaleUP program) and a team approach to programs and promotions, ensuring all residents of the Niagara region can access services. 4.

ECONOMIC IMPACT Explain how you track economic impact figures, i.e. jobs created, businesses started, businesses expanded, etc. Explain the tool you currently use to track client activity, i.e. customer and contract management software, telephone follow-up, survey, etc. and how reports are communicated to partners. Briefly describe how well this approach has worked for the SBEC and partners. Economic Impact is tracked monthly using an ECR excel template that has been adapted to track ECR data .Each client fills out an intake form with their information that is then used for ECR tracking. At the end of the month this data (and client notes) are inputted into our Salesforce/Eudonet CRM programming and all consultations are recorded in the ECR tracking template. The Business Information Officer contacts all clients via (face2face, telephone, email) and records business started, jobs created, business expanded, and a brief note about each business. If a client is unable to be reached during a given month, they are contacted subsequently in the following month(s), and if they have started a business/created jobs, that data is recorded accordingly.

Clients are greeted by staff immediately upon entry into the NFSBEC. If possible, walk-in clients are accommodated and provided a consultation that day; otherwise the next available time frame is provided based on a mutually agreed upon time. This is generally never more than a few days in advance. Generally inquiries are answered immediately and the NFSBEC ensures that at least one staff member is on site during operating hours at any given time. Clients emailing or calling receive a follow-up call/email no later than 24 hours (or 1 business day) after their initial inquiry. These service standards are adhered to.

Dear Mr Matson, This letter is to request that the above event be qualified as an event of municipal significance in order to obtain a "Special Occasion Permit". The event is a locally held event being held at the Stamford Centre Volunteer Firemens Association's - Firemens Park Hall. Unfortunately, as I am neither a non-profit nor a charity, I am unable obtain an Special Occasion Permit for a public event without council approval. Therefore, I am making a request for one here today. It is my sincere hope that council will approve this request, and if they are looking for a fun event and a good meal November 18th feel free to contact me for a ticket.

Box 26, Queen St., Niagara Falls, Ontario L2E 6S8 Phone: 905-651-0944 Fax: 289-296-7145 Dear Mayor and Members of Council: Chris Woolnough Linda Stevens Vice President Financial/Recording Secretary Treasurer nitazchic@gmail.com ewokls@me.com We are sending this letter to request support from the council members of our resolution passed at our last union meeting A copy of the Resolution is attached. The resolution calls for our Transit Agency to fix the problems that cause injury to pedestrians, passengers and our operators on a daily basis all over Canada and the United States. ATU Local 1582, along with other Transit Locals, has sent out a press release to bring awareness to the issues that have caused injury and illness to many of our operators. Regular maintenance and redesign of workstations' blind spots are less costly to the city, then the cost of replacing injured workers. This will also be an agenda item at our next Labour/Management meeting as well as our next Health and Safety Committee meeting. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Page 185 of 270 RESOLUTION TO END FATALITIES AND INJURIES RESULTING FROM POOR TRANSIT BUS DESIGN Whereas, transit buses used in North America are decades behind global design and safety standards, endangering the health, safety and lives of operators, riders and pedestrians, and Whereas, most transit buses on the road in North America have unsafe window pillar designs and hazardously placed mirrors, which create enormous blind spots that are impossible to mitigate with operator behavior and have resulted in collisions in which pedestrians and others have been killed or injured, and Whereas, assaults on operators often escalate to serious injury or death due to poorly -secured or unsecured workstations, and Whereas, unsafe air quality in buses caused by inadequate air filters and ventilation systems for diesel fumes and infectious agents and causes a near doubling of COPD among operators and injures riders as well, and Whereas, poor bus suspension and seating lead to back pain and debilitating conditions for operators as well as compromise passenger comfort, and Whereas, transit worker is already classified as the least healthy job due to primitive controls including steering, pedals and other controls cause extreme rates of occupational injury and disability, Therefore, be it resolved, that ATU Local 1582 calls on transit agencies and manufacturers to make our buses safe for those who operate and ride them by adopting well -tested solutions, including: • Protective barriers that can be quickly raised or lowered by an operator, that do not obscure the operator's view, and that do not block air conditioning or heat from the driver's workstation • Unobstructed views for bus operators that include open windshields, minimal A -pillars, and mirrors that don't obscure an operator's vision • Workstations that include ergonomic seating, intelligent steering, adjustable pedals, and a dashboard and steering wheel that both telescope and tilt. • Proper filtering of bus compartment air quality, rational location of intakes and exhaust from buses, effective sealing, and proper maintenance of engines, heaters and air conditioning systems Membership of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1582, Page 186 of 270 CLERKS DEPARTMENT Inter -Departmental Memo To: Mayor James M. Diodati & Members of Council From: Bill Matson, Acting City Clerk Date: October 24, 2017 Re: Lundy Manor Wine Cellers — "By the Glass" Liquor Licence A regulation enacted in 2007 under the Ontario Liquor Licence Act created a new category of liquor licence that allows Ontario breweries and wineries to sell and serve their beer and wine to patrons at their manufacturing site. Manufacturers wishing to obtain a Manufacturer's Limited Liquor Sales Licence, known as a "By the Glass" licence, must include with their application to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (ACCO), a resolution approved by the local municipal Council supporting the issuance of this type of licence. I recently received a request from Mr. Mark Yuhasz, owner of Lundy Manor Wine Cellers, located at 9941 Lundy's Lane. Mr. Yuhasz is seeking such a resolution for the purposes of applying to the AGCO for a "By the Glass" licence. I request on behalf of the applicant that Council pass a motion supporting the request of Lundy's Lane Wine Celler's and endorses their application to obtain a "By the Glass" Manufacturer's Limited Liquor Sales Licence to sell and serve their wine to patrons for consumption at their manufacturing site, conditional on the premises being in compliance with all applicable zoning requirements, municipal by-laws, the Building Code Act, the Fire Protection and Prevention Act, and the Health Protection and Promotion Act..

("Upper Vista"), the registered owners of the property at 7711 Green Vista Gate. Upper Vista i,inthe process of constructing aresidential building onthe site. Todate, wehave completed the excavation for the foundation and the installation ofthe mud slab. We have scheduled the installation of the concrete raft slab for October 5 th and our structural engineer has confirmed that the concrete raft slab needs to be built with a continuous pour of concrete to eliminate any cold joints. The slab pour will take 20 hours of continuous pouring on October 5 th and will create noise by virtue ofthe operation ofconstruction vehicles and equipment. The noise, bynecessity, will contravene the Noise Control By-law as the 20 hour continuous time period will require us to working during the hours of 7:00 pm -7:00 am. We have attached our letter to the CBO for a one-time exemption from the Noise Control By-law for the completion of the pour. However, the By-law exemption typically requires a decision to be made by Council. Due tothe urgency and scheduling ofthe slab installation for October 5m (which date was selected tokeep ontrack with the overall construction schedule and to account for the competing schedules of the numerous tradespeople involved in the process), we do not believe that we will obtain a decision by Council prior to the activity occurring. |nlight ofthis, we have drafted a letter to the neighbouring property owners advising them of the noise violation and the reason behind the activity. VVehave attached the letter for your records. Our Site Super, Joe DiPasquale, will beproviding the letter tothe neighbours tomorrow (Friday'September 29m). We trust this is satisfactory and ask that you please advise us of any other steps that we should take to keep in good standing with our neighbours during the this construction activity.

("Upper Vista"), who are the registered owners of the property municipally known as 7711 Green Vista Gate, Niagara Falls (the "Property"). Upper Vista is in the process of constructing a residential building on the north-west side of Green Vista Gate cul-de-sac legally described as Unit 172, Niagara South Vacant Land Condominium Plan No. 118. The proposed development comprises of a 10 storey building with one level of underground parking and associated access road. To date, we have completed the excavation for the foundation and the installation of the mud slab, in addition to the laying of rebar in anticipation of the completion of the concrete raft slab. Our structural engineer has confirmed that the concrete raft slab needs to be built with a continuous pour of concrete to eliminate any cold joints. This continuous pour will take approximately twenty-four (24) hours from start to finish. We have scheduled the installation of the raft slab pour to begin on October 26, 2017 for a 24 hour continuous pour. The continuous nature of the installation will create noise by virtue of the operation of construction vehicles and equipment. Such noise will, by necessity, contravene the Noise By-law as per Schedule 3 -Time and Activity Prohibitions reproduced below: 4. The operation of construction equipment in connection with construction -between 7:00 p.m. one day to 7:00 a.m. the next day, 9:00 a.m. on Saturdays, Sunday and statutory holidays. According to the Noise By-law, we are required to submit a written application to the Chief Building Official for an exemption from any provisions of the said By-law. This application requests the exemption from Provision 4.1 -Prohibitions by time and activity which reads: No person shall emit or cause or permit the emission of sound resulting from any act listed in Schedule 3, if clearly audible at a point of reception located in a residential area of the municipality within the prohibited time as set out in Schedule 3. 8888 Keele Street, Unit 1, Vaughan, Ontario L41K 2N2 t. 905.738.1226 f. 905.738.1215 www.yyzed.com Page 191 of 270 V, V P F, V:: R� V D .i.A The purpose of this letter is to apply for the exemption of the Noise Control By-law provisions referenced above on behalf of Upper Vista for the purpose allowing the construction activity relating to the continuous pouring of the concrete for the raft slab beginning on October 26th. Accompanying this letter we have enclosed: 1. The permit fee in the amount of [NTD: City of Niagara Falls to advise if permit fee is applicable] payable to the City of Niagara Falls; 2. The foundation execution plan; 3. A form of letter which will be delivered to the residents living in close proximity to the Property We trust the above is satisfactory.

Due to the inclement weather experienced by our development site over the past couple of weeks, we have had to reschedule our continuous pour. The pour is now scheduled to begin in the evening of October 26, 2017 and to be completed in the evening on October 27, 2017. As we noted in our previous letter, the continuous nature of the concrete pour will require us to create noise in connection with activities normally prohibited during the hours of 7:00 pm and 7:00 am, namely due to the operation of construction vehicles and equipment. We have asked the City of Niagara Falls to provide us with a one-time exemption of the Noise By-law so that we may complete the continuous pour of the raft slab on the Property. The City has asked, as part of our application for a one-time exemption of the Noise By-law, that we provide notice to residents living close to the Property who may be affected by the noise created by our construction activities. Please accept this letter as notice of our intention to complete the continuous pour of the raft slab, at least partially between the hours of 7:00 pm and 7:00 am. While we have not yet finalized the date on which the continuous pour will take place, we confirm that we intend on completing it on October 26- 27, 2017 as set out above.

October 12 2011 Corporation of the City of Niagara Falls 4310 Queen Street P.O. Box 1023 Niagara Falls, ON 1.2E 6X5 Attn: Mayor and Members of Council We would like to extend our endorsement & congratulations to staff and council for the efforts leading to the recently announced Ryerson University Digital Media Zone initiative. This is a very welcome long-term investment in the diversification of our local economy and is desperately needed to foster hope and entrepreneurial spirit in the young people of this community. In our view, the proposed funding mechanism also "this feels right'. It is a morally correct use of our annual OLG windfall... taking money generated by unsuccessful gambling activities and investing in a real long- term change catalyst within our local economy. Using empty City property to locate sites is a win- win scenario. Niagara Falls It is a great fit for Ryerson University as well. We allow a footprint in a city with global name recognition enhancing opportunities for global partnerships. Further, our proximity to the USA, affordable local rents, and'strong work-life balance opportunities should be helpful in appealing to a start-up culture. Don't be dissuaded by some residents that may be cynical of this investment. Unfortunately, most people are not experienced with concepts like this, and just don't understand how fast technology is moving and of its remarkable opportunities.
