Elementary School CPR: The elementary school training and education focuses specifically on Cardio- Pulmonary Resuscitation {CPR) teaching. CPR provides a framework for re- enforcing heart health behavior to young adolescents. This program will provide preparatory work for the Grade 9 School Program. Heart Niagara Inc. has committed to involving the same co- operative infrastructure as the Grade 9 Schools Heart Health Program (partnership between school boards, RNPHD, Youth Connection Nurses, teachers, parent councils and HNI start). Rationale: As a community it is our responsibility to provide necessary leadership and self - protective aids prior to establishing cardiovascular risk factors in youth, adolescents and teens. Re- enforcing risk factors; smoking habits, activity patterns and the nutritional choices while educating about individual genetic vulnerability must be the bedrock of any strategy which seriously contemplates eradicating Cardiovascular Disease. The program will provide a service to the Niagara Region by increasing the number of CPR citizens prepared in case of emergency coupled with the added value of heart health awareness to the whole family. Goals: > Re- enforcing positive behavior trends > Reduce negative trends > To counteract the pressure exerted on young adolescents to adopt self - destructive habits > Support Smoke Free Living, Healthy Eating and Daily Active Living > Integrate with HNI's school heart health programs D Data collection for program development (e.g., schools smoking cessation program) Specifically addressed priorities: D Positive behavior patterns "positive norms" D Skills of delivering Heart Saver CPR, and the Heimlich Maneuver D Linking youth school programs with community partners D Risk factors of heart disease Indirectly addressed priorities: D Smoke -free Living D Healthy Eating D Daily Activity D Youth leadership and youth participation Delivery: The program involves implementing an effective strategy to deliver heart health education while providing a lifesaving skill (CPR, Heimlich Maneuver) to grade seven and eight students. The course outline is a Heart and Stroke of Ontario www heartaudstroke.ca guideline and the structure is endorsed by the Act Foundation of Canada www.actfoundation.ca which has been evaluated and has been designated best practice. Providing Community Coronary Care Programs to the Niagara Region for over 25 years Charitable Registration Number 107473316RP0001 NOV 1 7 2003 PLANNING Nov•1',i• ZUU3 Z: RPM HLAHI NIAGARA No•61I6 V• u [ Background: Cardiovascular Disease remains the most significant health problem for Western countries in terms of mortality, morbidity and financial costs to health care systems. In Canada the direct and indirect costs amount to Can $20 billion a year which equates to Can $300 million a year for the Niagara Region. The potential positive impact of a reduction in these figures is enormous. Regrettably prevention programs have proved sadly ineffective in reducing the heart health hazards that lead to Coronary and Cerebral Artery Disease such as Atherosclerosis. One of the problems in designing initiatives which positively affect heart health is that adverse factors such as cigarette smoking, inactivity, obesity and high fat diets. These risk factors for heart disease are promoted by business interests. In 1985 Heart Niagara Inc established a school -based program to reverse the negative promotion to adolescents and teens which increases heart disease, the program curriculum was developed in partnership with the (4) school boards and Regional Public Health Department. HNI believes that the direction of Primary Health Care in the field of cardiovascular health must be directed toward strategies that have a possibility of long -term success rather than ineffective attempts to change long - established behaviour patterns. The two groups who are most likely to fit that philosophy are those who have survived Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and those who have not yet established lifestyles that are vulnerable to the disease. Two strategies co -exist in HNI planning: Risk reduction among survivors of CVD events and Heart Health promotion among the only target group in the whole population who do not already have the disease; school children, The latter, of course, having the added advantage of being 100% available to Heart Healthy recommendations and self -care education with trained Youth Connection Nurses and Physical Education Teachers to deliver core curriculum. Modifying the smoking habits, the activity patterns and the nutritional choices of young children while making some assessment of individual genetic vulnerability should be the bedrock of any strategy which seriously contemplates eradicating Cardiovascular Disease.

BACKGROUND: Angelo Butera has requested an amendment to the Zoning By -law for the land known as 6350 Dorchester Road, site of the former Dorchester Manor long -term care facility, shown on Schedule 1. The amendment is requested to permit the conversion of the existing building into 50 apartment units. Details are shown on Schedule 2. The zoning of the land is requested to be changed from Institutional (I) to a site specific Residential Apartment zone (R5A) to permit the apartment conversion and to recognize an existing non- conforming rear yard setback. Site Description and Surrounding Land Uses The 2.9 acre site is located on the east side of Dorchester Road, south of Stokes Street. The existing building is one storey in height with an area of just over 34,000 sq. ft. and housed 98 beds while operating as a long -term care facility. The building is currently vacant and was recently sold to the applicant by the Region. Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks • Finance • Human Resources • Information Systems • Legal • Planning & Development November 17, 2003 - 2 - PD- 2003 -103 Circulation Comments Information regarding the application was sent to City departments, government agencies and the public for comment. The following comments have been received: • Municipal Works No objections. • Regional Planning & Development The proposal is a good example of how the Region's Smart Growth policies can be applied in that the existing building will be reused for a residential development. The residential character of the area will be maintained together with the opportunity of providing affordable housing. Planning Analysis 1. The proposal complies with the Official Plan. The subject property is designated Residential in the Official Plan. The Official Plan promotes a variety of housing types to provide a choice of accommodation and to avoid undue concentrations of one type of housing. In addition, the Plan requires that redevelopment of non - residential structures be compatible with the surrounding area. The proposed conversion of the former nursing home to an apartment building complies with these policies in the following manner: The subject property is suitable for an apartment development as it is located on an arterial road, on the periphery of a residential neighbourhood. Multiple -unit developments are to be located in this manner in order to minimize impacts, especially traffic, on existing residential areas. An apartment will provide for rental housing in an area dominated by single detached dwellings. Moreover, as the vacancy rate for apartments is approximately 2.6 %, the addition of apartment units will assist in the provision of this type of housing on a city- wide basis. • Fifty apartment units are proposed. This would result in a density of 42 units/ha (17 units /ac.) which is well within the density of 50 units/ha prescribed by the Official Plan. It should be noted that under the current I zone, a substantially taller and more dense nursing home or senior's residence could be developed on the land, given the lesser provisions for setbacks and landscaping and that there are no density regulations. Furthermore, the I zone permits more uses than the R5A. Under the I zone, uses include a church, hospital, care facility and community building, the latter encompassing a shelter and drop -in centre. It should also be noted that the applicant is limiting the proposed apartment to 50 units. If the standard R5A zone was applied, 60 units could be constructed. Thus, the proposed amendment is actually a reduction in development opportunity. November 17, 2003 - 3 - PD-2003-103 • The single storey building is to remain. Only internal renovations are proposed to convert the building into apartments. Therefore, building height, mass and appearance will not change. The only site alterations proposed are the widening of the northerly driveway and the re- striping of the rear parking lot. The site currently has 48% landscaped open space, which exceeds the 30% required under the R5A zone. However, additional landscape screening should be provided at the south end of the rear property. Site plan control will be applied t o the development i n o rder t o g uarantee t he s ite alterations. The current compatible relationship between the subject property and surrounding area should, therefore, continue with the apartment conversion. 2. The proposed amendment is appropriate. The subject property is zoned I. The applicant is requesting a zone change to a site specific R5A zone. The request is appropriate. The amending by -law will limit the use to the existing building, regulate the number of units and ensure the landscaping is maintained. The existing rear yard setback of 28.8 feet will also have to be recognized in the by -law because it is four feet less than the standard required rear yard setback of the R5A zone. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the requested Zoning By -law amendment to change the zoning of 6350 Dorchester Road from I to a site specific R5A zone to permit the existing building to be converted to 50 apartment units can be recommended for approval because: • the proposal complies with the Residential policies of the Official Plan; • the provision of apartments will offer an alternate form of housing in the area and will place more apartment units in the market; • the proposed apartment will be compatible with the area; and the proposed amendment is appropriate.

Please turn down this proposal and keep the integrity of our neighbourhood. Sincerely, (, 33 _L7c,= e % si zf sTh To The Director of Planning and Development & Members of City Council This letter is in response to the amendment requested for the land 6350 Dorchester Road, city file AM- 36/2003 I, Rita Hachey reside at 6278 Dorchester Rd, next door to 6350 Dorchester Rd. I strongly oppose this request for amendment of 6350 Dorchester Rd, to be converted into a 50 apartment dwelling units. Areas of concem include, [1} Traffic- Dorchester Rd has become increasingly congested with traffic. Traffic could only become more problematic with this amendment. We are also located at the corner of Stokes which serves access to 3 other neighboring schools. Increasing traffic puts other motorists and children walking to school at risk of an accident. [2} Privacy- a proposed 2 story apartment building would infringe on the privacy of neighbors [3} Devaluation of property- As a neighborhood we take great pride in our properties. We have invested money and hard physical labor into our homes, and we do not appreciate losing the value of our homes and property. [4} Rezoning- If this property is rezoned for apartment use, then it would open the door for other properties to be zoned and this idea is strongly opposed by our neighborhood [5} Noise and Disruption- The existing rear parking lot exists next to my home- traffic coming in and out of the parking lot at all hours of the day and night causes distress, not to mention head lights shining into our windows and snow plows waking us up. Another issue that is very disheartening is that since Mr.Butera had purchased 6350 Dorchester, on several occasions concems of the neighbors had been voiced about the up keep of the property. The grass initially had not been kept up and the issue about the surrounding hedges for the past 5 months has not yet been addressed. We have voiced complaints about this to the workers that he has hired to do the landscaping- and he has yet to clear up his hedges. For safety reasons- with the hedges grown as much as to date, this makes it difficult to see the children walking along the sidewalk approaching our driveway.*This matter has been brought to the attention of the City of Niagara Falls and I hope that in the future Mr.Butera will keep to the responsibilities of his property. In closing, I can only say that rezoning this property for apartment use would not be in good favor of the neighborhood for the many people that have lived here for many, many years. Rita Hachey 7022 Coach Dr., Niagara Falls, Ontario L2G 231 November 11`x', 2003 Mr. Doug Darbyson, Director of Planning & Development, And Niagara Falls City Council, City of Niagara Falls, Niagara Falls, Ontario Dear Mr. Darbyson and Council; Re: City File: AM- 36/2003 I am a resident homeowner on Coach Drive which meets Dorchester Road at the site of the former Dorchester Manor. I am opposed to the Zoning By -law change to allow the proposed 50 unit, 2 story apartment on this site. I have been a resident on Coach Drive for the past seven years and have watched the traffic flow on Dorchester Road increase considerably. Everyday that I sit on Dorchester Road in front of the former Manor waiting to turn left, I watch my rear -view mirror like a hawk in anticipation of being rear - ended. When the Manor was open, there were a few near miss collisions from people passing the turning car on the left and nearly hitting one pulling out from the Manor. Just trying to get out onto Dorchester from Coach is getting more frustrating due to increased traffic. By allowing a 50 unit building, you could potentially be allowing access to Dorchester Road for 50 —100 cars from this site and that will be a dangerous situation for ourselves, other residents but especially for our children who walk to school on that road. Please consider the current residents of this area and your actions carefully when making this decision. Sincerely, AII __^^ ,, Monica D'Amico 1 Dennis A.

My first concern is the effect the new proposed use will have on the surrounding residential properties. E.g. — our low density single family homes - our property values possibly decreasing because of this use - the traffic congestion that will result from 50 units ( anywhere from 50 -100 more cars) coming and going from the property PLEASE NOTE: When going to work now to my office @ Lundy's Lane and Dorchester, I have run into traffic line -ups from the Lundy's Lane intersection to south of Barker Street and have sat through 3 light changes just to get to my office. This proposal, if approved, will only make it much worse. One other concern I have is that, at the present time, there are at least three vacant pieces of land on McLeod Road alone, zoned for exactly this use and there are others in town as well. Why don't we put these apartments on the land that is already zoned for this use? Sincerely, Dennis A Goldfinch President/Broker e RECEIVED NOV 1 3 2003 PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT rimy oIdR&t DENNIS A.

Dear City Councillors: We are homeowners on Dorchester Road who would like to express our protest against the proposed zoning amendment to the building currently known as Dorchester Manor located at 6350 Dorchester Road. We have lived in our home at 6345 Dorchester Road for 11 years and have spent much time, energy and money making it into our own private retreat. We purchased our home because of large lot, and surrounding single- family dwellings. We have previously fought the encroachment of multi unit zoning in our neighbourhood and are prepared to do so again. Dorchester Manor is zoned institutional and should remain as a single story building. Traffic is already horrendous on Dorchester Road and the proposed 2 story 50 unit building would only add to the congestion problem. The proposed unit could add 2 plus drivers per unit. In addition to incoming and outgoing traffic from the building with noise and headlights, there would also be the problem of garbage and pollution. The letter from the City states that there is non - compliance in regards to the distance to rear neighbours. Can you imagine adding a second story to this building? The building is not structurally suitable for a second story addition that will intrude on neighbouring properties privacy, sunlight exposure and aesthetics. We would also like to address why the Hydro Right of Way is now attached to this parcel of land and was never posted as being proposed for severance or for sale to the public. Why was the sale of Dorchester Manor from the region not made public or opened to the public for sale opportunities? WE DO NOT WANT THIS INVASION OF A MULTI UNIT 2 STORY BUILDING ON OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD. truly, Darcy Ravdn (905) 374 -6746 6345 Dorchester Road Jim Beauparlant (905) 374 -6746 6345 Dorchester Road October 23, 2003 To: City Council Niagara Falls, Ontario RE: City File AM- 36/2003 — rezoning to allow conversion of the building known as Dorchester Manor to a 2 story 50 unit apartment building. Dear City Councillors: We are homeowners on Dorchester Road who would like to express our protest against the proposed zoning amendment to the building currently known as Dorchester Manor located at 6350 Dorchester Road. We have lived in our home at 6345 Dorchester Road for 11 years and have spent much time, energy and money making it into our own private retreat. We purchased our home because of the large lot, and surrounding single - family dwellings. We have previously fought the encroachment of multi unit zoning in our neighbourhood and are prepared to do so again. Dorchester Manor is zoned institutional and should remain as a single story building. Traffic is already horrendous on Dorchester Road and the proposed 2 story 50 unit building would only add to the congestion problem. The proposed unit could add 2 plus drivers per unit. In addition to incoming and outgoing traffic from the building with noise and headlights, there would also be the problem of garbage and pollution. The letter from the City states that there is non - compliance in regards to the distance to rear neighbours. Can you imagine adding a second story to this building? The building is not structurally suitable for a second story addition that will intrude on neighbouring properties privacy, sunlight exposure and aesthetics. We would also like to address why the Hydro Right of Way is now attached to this parcel of land and was never posted as being proposed for severance or for sale to the public. Why was the sale of Dorchester Manor from the region not made public or opened to the public for sale opportunities? WE DO NOT WANT THIS INVASION OF A MULTI UNIT 2 STORY BUILDING ON OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD. Yours truly, Darcy Raven (905) 374 -6746 Jim Beauparlant (905) 374 -6746 6345 Dorchester Road 6345 Dorchester Road MR. & MRS. A. ARMENTI October 29, 2003 Director of Planning and Development City Hall, 4310 Queen Street Niagara Falls, Ontario L2E 6X5 RE: City File AM- 36/2003 Dear Sir/Madam, We are writing regarding an application to amend Zoning By -law No.79 -200. The amendment is requested is for the land known as 6350 Dorchester Road, site of the former Dorchester Manor long term care facility. This amendment has been requested to permit the conversion of the existing 1 storey building into a 2 storey, 50 unit apartment building. The application requests changing the zoning of this land from Institutional (I) to Residential Apartment zone (R5A). We live at 6856 Stokes Street, and our home backs onto the subject property. Our property is shown on the attached Schedule 1. We are writing to express our STRONG OPPOSITION TO THIS APPLICATION. We DO NOT want the zoning of this property to be changed. We DO NOT want a 2 storey apartment building to be built in our backyard. We purchased our property and build a beautiful home here in 1969, before Dorchester Manor was even built. We knew that our home would back onto Dorchester Manor, and understood that this would be a very quiet and peaceful property. We have lived here happily and peacefully for 34 years. Now we are retired, and plan to live here for the rest of our lives. Our home is located on a very quiet, private residential property. We are retired, and our desire is to live in peace and quiet. Stokes Street and Corwin Crescent are very desirable streets with very prestigious homes. Most homes are on 60 ft lots. These streets are zoned R1C residential. This is NOT an area for apartment buildings. Clearly, this proposed development DOES NOT BELONG IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. It would be VERY DESTRUCTIVE and DETRIMENTAL for the following reasons; 1) It would DESTROY THE PEACE AND QUIET that we currently have on our property. It will have a NEGATIVE impact on our lives. Imagine a 2 storey apartment building in our backyard, a few feet from our property line. Imagine a 2 way street in our backyard. Imagine 39 cars driving in and out of the parking lot located in our backyard, at all hours of the night. Imagine car headlights shining into our bedroom windows all night long. 2) It would DESTORY THE PRESTIGE OF OUR STREET, and our neighborhood. A 2 storey apartment building does not belong in the backyards of homes with 60 ft Lots. Who would be interested in purchasing a home with a 2 STOREY APARTMENT BUILDING located in the backyard? 3) It would REDUCE THE VALUE OF OUR PROPERTY by an estimated $40,000. A development that reduces property values CANNOT BE ALLOWED. This would be devastating for a retired couple like us. Therefore, we urge you to STRONGLY REJECT this application, and leave the zoning as it stands. Due to the NEGATIVE IMPACT of this proposal, we will take ALL NECESSARY ACTION to ensure that the zoning of this property is NOT CHANGED. Thank you for your support! Sincerely, A. Armenti R.

As you are well aware, the amendment is requested for the land known as 6350 Dorchester Road, and is requesting to permit the conversion of the existing building into 50 apartment dwelling units. I am in complete disagreement with this and am against such a permit being granted. I live at 6852 Corwin Crescent, which is directly behind the property in question. I have lived here with my family for the past 25 years and will continue to do so. In all of my time living at my current residence, Dorchester Manor existed. It was a well - kept, long term care facility. Its residents were quiet and rarely seen. Its employees were well aware of the fact that their place of employment was in the middle of a residential area and acted with great respect and courtesy. For 25 years, there was no problem with anything associated with Dorchester Manor. Now, we are faced with the zoning of this land being changed from Institutional (1) to a site specific Residential Apartment zone (R5A). I see many problems with this, mainly that the new building would not fit in with its quiet surroundings. My main concern is the fact that this proposed building would be 2 stories high. That would be an eye -sore for my family, my neighbours, and myself, as we look out from our hones and our yards and see a building instead of the sun, the sky and trees and people and the cars driving along Dorchester Road. Also, I have a concern with the traffic congestion this would cause. This building would include 50 units. If each unit came with just 2 cars, that would be 100 cars that would be coming and going day in and day out, and that would need to be parked and started and revved, washed in the summer, and cleaned off in the winter. Also, these residents will have visitors which would result in more cars and more traffic. More traffic results in more congestion, pollution, and a great deal of noise. This was not the case with Dorchester Manor. Its traffic congestion was minimal; due to the fact that its residents did not drive and that its employees drove in and out once a day. Another issue is that of garbage collection. Where would the garbage collectors be? Would they be in OUR backyards? Is that fair? My garbage is placed neatly on the curb of my street, in no one's backyard. It has been placed there every week, for the past 25 years, and now there is a possibility that someone else's garbage - that of 100 or more people, will literally sit in my backyard? How is that fair and just? Perhaps the greatest of my concerns is that of privacy. My family takes great pride in the fact that we can go to our backyard after a hard day's work, for rest, relaxation, gardening, entertaining.- a backyard that we have spent many hours converting into a place of retreat. How relaxing would it be for us to sit in our backyard and have an audience of over 100 people watching us from above, day in and day out? Why should my home and wy family be under constant surveillance? Along with all of the concerns that' have mentioned come many more issues- property value, snowball] dread causing more multi -units being bunt, neighbourhood pride, etc, An even greater eoneern is the fact that 0h4v la°p ay wa' Sobi r^<'ilk luny putdir 1tn3;r1 . HOW is this fair to tts, tax - baying residents? Also, how was hydro right of way sold without any public notice from the region? I find it very disturbing that such things would occur. Isn't it funny how politicians ask for our input during election times, such as the one that is going to oist3i tin Muuday, but iron don't consult us with issues such as this, that would greatly impart our day to day living. Building a new subdivision of other single family homes would be a much more suitable and pleasing use for Ibis latul, in doing, this; not only will new families he housed; hut the houses that they live in would blend its with tiii :Si siwan:niings. Most iinpoi tinitly, the people which live in theta would be aceupted to the community with open arms. if however, this apartment building is built; what will happen? l am not willing to stand by and find out. I have made my feelings known in this letter and will continue to speak against this proposal. The City of Niagara Falls has sent out notices of this Public Meeting, and has extended an invitation to all residents. That is very noble, however, more importantly will be the City Councilors and the Mayor's willingness to hear the disgruntled voices of the residents of Dorchester Rood and surrounding areas. Thor!: our voices are heard. We are against this proposal. Please do the right thing. Hear us out and deny this request.

In our opinion, such a construction project is overly ambitious for not only this property, but also for this area, and believe that it would be detrimental to the existing neighbourhood. We would like to go on record as being opposed to any project which would see multi- residential buildings of any sort being constructed on this land and would like to see the proposal for the re- zoning of this property from Institutuinal (I) to a site specific Residential Apartment zone (R5A) for this property denied. During the almost twenty years that we have lived in our home, we cannot recall a time when any work has been done to upgrade, modernize, expand or repair the existing sewer system in this area. We fear that any additional construction in this area would adversely affect the sewer and water system to our home and the homes of our neighbours. During the construction of the "Imperial Court" housing development north of our home on the east side of Dorchester Road a few years ago, there were a number of days during the construction and connection of their water systems into the existing system, that browm water came running out of our taps and into our washing machine and hot water tank. With the installation of water meters, we do not welcome the inconvenience of unusable water nor do we want to see our money running down the drain as we attempt to purge the brown water and dirt from our pipes. A further concern addresses the increased volume of traffic to an already very heavily travelled roadway which a fifty unit apartment complex would worsen. More cars on Dorchester Road would increase vehicular pollution, noise pollution and also the air pollution as a result of increased exhaust. Not to mention, the increased road traffic creates an additonal hazard to children and other pedestrians walking or biking along the sidewalks. In additon, with over fifty vehicles entering and exiting the proposed apartment complex, with vehicles crossing the sidewalk, a greater danger is posed to pedestrians attempting to use the sidewalk, and will slow vehicular traffic on the road. With the current volume of traffic and present housing density in this area, it is already difficult to exit and enter our driveway with traffic sometimes backed -up to Stokes Street from the traffic light at Lundy's Lane and Dorchester Road. Furthermore, construction vehicles entering and exiting this property would further delay and impede the traffic flow on Dorchester Road, further worsening an already hazardous situation. This section of Dorchester Road and the surrounding neighbourhood are prestigious areas of the city with large, established, well -kept lots which have been owned by the same or original owners for many years. We take pride in our homes and properties and have made great investments of time and money to them, and fear that an additional apartment complex in this area would decrease the value of the surrounding properties, and set an unwelcome precident opening the door to more multi - residential construction projects in this area. Of further concern is the privacy of the homeowners whose properties are adjacent to and in the immediate vacinity of the proposed apartment complex. The addition of a second storey to the existing structure elevates the windows and balconies of the apartment units and diminishes the privacy of the homeowners on Corwin Crescent whose backyards will be in direct view of these units. There also appears to be a minimal area of land between the proposed project and the backyards of the residents to act as a buffer zone for the homeowners, further infringing on their privacy. As well, these homeowners will be inconvenienced by the incoming and outgoing traffic from residents and visitors in the parking area of this proposed complex as well as by garbage collection vehicles to the rear of the structure. It is unclear from the diagram of Schedule 2 whether there will be sufficient parking for the fifty plus vehicles of the potential residents of the proposed apartment complex. If there is insufficient space for parking, where are the excess vehicles to park? On Stokes Street? With people attempting to avoid the traffic of Lundy's Lane and Dorchester Road, Stokes Street and the other side streets are becoming more heavily travelled. Stokes Street is also on a City Bus Route with a stop close to the corner of Dorchester Road. We fear that vehicles parking along Stokes Street will cause further traffic problems and create a more hazardous situation for pedestrians, children and motorists alike. A final point of concern deals with the transient nature of renters. Since a person renting an apartment does not have an ownership stake in the property, we fear that there will be an increased threat of vandalism, graffiti and other crimes as well as an increase in litter and garabage in the neighbourhood if an additional apartment complex is constructed on Dorchester Road. It is for this reason, and the others outlined in this letter, that we strongly believe, that for the safety of the children, the elderly and all residents of Dorchester Road and the surrounding area, that the application for the re- zoning of 6350 Dorchester Road should be denied. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. Chris & Mary Antaya City Hall — 4310 Queen St. Niagara Falls, Ontario L2E 6X5 Sunday, November 2, 2003 Director of Planning and Development, Re: City File AM — 36/2003 We wish to comment on the request by Angelo Butera to have the land known as 6350 Dorchester Road changed from Institutional (I) to a Site Specific Residential Apartment Zone (RSA) to permit the apartment conversion to be built. We have lived at 6357 Dorchester Road (directly across from Dorchester Manor) for 32 years. We have enjoyed this area for the last 32 years and really feel that an Apartment Building of this size would be a great invasion of our front yard. Dorchester Road at this point is very busy now with cars and school buses and another 50 — 100 cars would be a great invasion of our property. The amount of noise would increase tremendously. The sewer system would also be a problem with that many new residents moving in.Another concern we have would be the amount of garbage a complex of this size could produce and where would it be stored. A building of this size could also open the doors for further development on Hydro property, which runs the entire length of our property. Also, a building of this size and not knowing the class of people moving in could result in our homes decreasing in value. We trust you will consider all the facts in this situation and do the right thing for the private homeowners of this neighborhood. Sincerely, paji Donald and Patricia Parker 6357 Dorchester Road Niagara Falls, Ontario L2G 5T4 Sunday November 9, 2003 Dear Director of Planning and Development and City Council Members, We are writing this letter to inform you that we are very concerned with the amendment requested to permit the conversion of the existing building (former Dorchester Manor) into 50 apartment dwelling units. (City File AM- 36/2003) We feel that allowing a 50 -unit apartment in that site will cause great congestion. Our children walk to school, they walk past this site twice daily. Our concern is for their safety, putting 50 units that could be 2 cars per unit will put our children at risk. People rushing off to work not watching what they are doing. We did not move into this area to worry about our children getting bit by a car walking past a 50 -unit apartment building to school! Our other issues we have with this amendment are privacy issues for the houses that abut Dorchester Manor, where are the garbage containers going to be placed? In front of someone's back yard that backs onto this property. Isn't this building too close to the yards behind it? We are very concerned that our property value will decrease with a multi unit building so close. We moved into this area knowing about the existing multi unit buildings, we don't want or need any more in our area! Rezoning this property will open the doors for more properties to be rezoned in our area. The people that live in this area take pride in the neighbourhood, we all have many years, time and money invested in our homes, to have it destroyed by putting in a 50 -unit apartment building has us all very upset. How was this property sold without any public notice? We are asking you to please turn down this amendment. This is our neighbourhood, not your neighbourhood. We live here, you don't live here, and you wouldn't like or allow this to happen in your neighbourhood, so pleased don't allow this to happen in our neighbourhood.

Baldinelli November 3, 2003 To: City Council Niagara Falls, Ontario RE: City File AM- 36/2003 — rezoning to allow conversion of the building known as Dorchester Manor to a 2 -story 50 -unit apartment building. To: The Director of Planning and Development We are writing to express our protest against the proposed zoning amendment to the building currently known as Dorchester Manor located at 6350 Dorchester Road. We live at 6918 Coach Drive, on the comer of Coach and Dorchester and have lived in our home for 9 years. This is a great neighbourhood to live for our family. We purchased our home because of certain factors such as the large lots, privacy and surrounding single - family dwellings. We have spent a lot of time and money on our home. We have young children and a pool in our yard so we spend all of our time in our home and neighbourhood. Our neighbours also share our pride of ownership. This proposed change would immediately lower the value of our home! We have previously fought the encroachment of multi unit zoning in our neighbourhood and are prepared to do so again. We understand that Dorchester Manor is located on a large piece of property that will be used for some purpose, but is unfair to existing neighbours to change it to a 2 -story building that will invade our privacy. A 50 unit building is just too large as traffic conditions are already taxed on Dorchester Road and the proposed 2 story 50 unit building would only add to the congestion problem. In addition to incoming and outgoing traffic from the building with noise and headlights, there would also be the problem of garbage and pollution. We would be satisfied if the building were converted to condominiums for seniors (keeping it's present size and structure), or if the building were tom down and the land used for single- family residential homes. We would also like to address why the Hydro Right of Way is now attached to this parcel of land and was never posted as being proposed for severance or for sale to the public. There has been much discussion at City Council about running the Millennium Trail through the Hydro Right of Way. The new Brookfield Court subdivision has a trail running behind the new homes. The continuation of this trail cannot happen now that the hydro land is part of this parcel. We most vehemently oppose this change in zoning to this property.

Sincerely, Dufre 4,-)16 frt /rie 6, 967 /4-64talee Attention: Zoning area of Dorchester Manor I do NOT want to see Dorchester Manor turned into a 2 story apartment building complex. If this complex goes in then I will still end up paying high property tax but the actual value of my home will decrease, since this is an area known for its beautiful single family dwellings as a prestige neighborhood. Many families have invested a great deal in their home and beauty and don't need this to decrease its worth. Another major problem is with this change it will create too much traffic, and this can be a great danger for the children especialy in the morning before school. How much more Hydro property will be sold with- out public knowledge? The city needs to preserve these areas and not change the zoning areas here.

My wife and I live on 6808 Corwin Cres. The back of the former Dorchester Manor faces directly onto my backyard. Any development will have a direct affect on my property value.

I am writing to you to inform you that I am not in favour of this application. I strongly oppose this application for the zoning to be changed from Institutional (I) to a site specific Residential Apartment zone (R5A). I do not want the zoning to change in order to accommodate a conversion of the existing building into 50 apartment dwelling units. I have many reasons for this opposition but my main one would be traffic volume on Dorchester Road. Quite often, the traffic is backed up to this proposed site all the way from Lundy's Lane throughout the day. Currently, it takes us several minutes before we can enter onto Dorchester Road from our property. With safety in mind, children walk back and forth to school, as well, parents drive their children to and from school experiencing difficulty turning onto Stokes Road. Why a 50 unit apartment dwelling? Could the developer not use the existing building structure for a one storey apartment building? The thought of privacy lost to the property owners surrounding this building is disturbing. We like our neighbourhood the way it is. We do not need apartment buildings built every time there is a property sold. Please keep our neighbourhood a residential one specific to single family dwellings. I do plan on attending the upcoming meeting on Monday, November 17, 2003 at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. If further correspondence is needed by me to squash this application, please contact me.

BACKGROUND: Niagara Princess Hotels has requested an amendment to the Zoning By -law to construct a 10- storey hotel on the land known as 5923 Stanley Avenue and to link 5916 Allendale Avenue to the hotel site for the purpose of off -site parking, both shown on Schedule 1. Details are shown on Schedule 2. Both parcels are zoned Tourist Commercial (TC). Site specific provisions are requested to permit the proposed hotel and to link the off -site parcel to the hotel lands for the purpose of off -site parking. Site Description and Surrounding Land Uses 5925 Stanley Avenue is currently occupied by a two- storey motel known as the Impala Motel. Two single detached dwellings also occupy the land. These buildings will be demolished in order to Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks • Finance • Human Resources • Information Systems • Legal • Planning & Development November 17, 2003 - 2 - PD- 2003 -101 construct the hotel. The property at 5916 Allendale Avenue is vacant. Lands to the north, south and east are used for a variety of tourist commercial uses with some legal non - conforming dwellings. To the west is a hydro corridor. Circulation Comments Information regarding the application was circulated to City departments, government agencies and the public for comment • Municipal Works 2.5 -foot road widenings along the two Allendale Avenue frontages are to be dedicated. • A stormwater management report will be required from a civil engineer should a storm sewer not be constructed on Stanley Avenue at the time of development. Parks, Recreation & Culture No objections. Planning Analysis 1. The proposed 10- storey hotel will comply with the Official Plan with revisions to the design. The lands are designated Tourist Commercial in the Official Plan and is within the Fallsview subdistrict. This subdistrict is to function as the primary location of large -scale accommodations, entertainment, retail and cultural attractions. Buildings above 4 storeys are to be designed to promote the pedestrian environment and with a stepped built form that results in a reduction of building width with increasing height. The proposed hotel has an asymmetrical design with a one - storey southerly podium and a four- storey northerly podium separated by an arch, over which the hotel suites are to be constructed. The podium contains a restaurant and retail space which, together with widened sidewalks and landscaping, provide for an improved pedestrian environment on the site. However, the fifth to the seventh floors are only set back approximately 23 feet from the northerly property line. The remaining floors set back 40 feet. The City's Design Criteria for High -Rise Buildings requires a 40 -foot setback above the fourth floor to provide appropriate gaps between high -rise buildings. Therefore it is recommended that the design be revised to accommodate a 40 -foot setback for all floors above the fourth storey. A10 foot landscaping strip is proposed to be provided along Allendale Avenue to screen the hotel's main parking lot. However, because a 2 V2 -foot road widening is required to be dedicated to the City, only 7 %z feet of the landscape strip will be left. It is recommended that the design be revised to provide the 10 -foot landscape strip in accordance with the requirements of the Streetscape Master Plan. November 17, 2003 - 3 - PD- 2003 -101 2. It is recommended that the off -site parking not be approved. Off -site parking is proposed for the land known as 5916 Allendale Avenue. The site plan indicates that all of the required parking can be provided on -site and that off -site parking is not needed for the hotel to meet the minimum requirements of the Zoning By -law. The IBI Group is currently reviewing the issue of off -site parking as part of the Tourism Policy Review due to the on -going utilization of land for this purpose. As the study is not complete, staff cannot recommend approval of the proposal to link 5916 Allendale Avenue to the hotel lands through zoning for off -site parking. However, the land can be used for overflow parking for the hotel, and not linked zoning, as a parking lot is a permitted use. 3. An amendment that incorporates the above revisions is appropriate. The properties are zoned TC. The applicant has requested site specific provisions to permit the 10- storey hotel and to permit 5916 Allendale Avenue to be used for off -site parking. As noted above, staff is recommending certain changes to the design of the hotel and the elimination of the off -site parking. A site specific TC zoning that reflects these revisions, would be appropriate. The amending by -law will provide provisions for building height, setbacks, landscaping and a roof feature. CONCLUSION: Staff recommend approval of the application conditional on the following revisions to the proposal: • a 40 -foot setback from the northerly lot line for all floors above the fourth floor; • a minimum of 10 feet of landscaping being provided along Allendale Avenue; and • elimination of 5916 Allendale Avenue being linked to the hotel lands for off -site parking.

BACKGROUND: 1473956 Ontario Limited has requested an amendment to the Zoning By -law for the property known as 5981 Fallsview Boulevard, as shown on Schedule 1. The amendment is requested to reduce the parking requirements for a proposed museum/retail building. Details are shown on Schedule 2. The property is currently zoned Tourist Commercial (TC). Site specific zoning provisions are requested to be added to the property to reduce the number of required parking spaces from 13 to 8. Site Description and Surrounding Land Uses The subject property is located on the west side of Fallsview Boulevard south of Ferry Street. The site is currently occupied by a single detached dwelling that would need to be demolished in order to construct the proposed museum/retail building. The area is one of transition situated between the existing tourism uses of Ferry Street and the new developments of the Fallsview district around the new Casino. Land uses vary from restaurants, legal non - conforming dwellings, parking lots and vacant lands to the north and east, to hotels and motels to the south and west. Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks • Finance • Human Resources • Information Systems • Legal • Planning & Development November 17, 2003 Circulation Comments Municipal Works PD- 2003 -100 A 3 -foot widening is required. A stormwater management report will be required should construction begin prior to the separation of the combined storm/sanitary sewer on Stanley Avenue. Parks, Recreation & Culture No objections. Planning Analysis 1. The request to reduce the parking standard, site specifically, is within the intent and purpose of the Official Plan. The subject property is designated Tourist Commercial in the Official Plan and is located at the northern edge of the Fallsview subdistrict. The Plan states that the Fallsview subdistrict is to function as the primary location for large -scale accommodations, entertainment, retail and attractions. The proposed museum/retail building is in keeping with this vision and should assist in transforming this area into a pedestrian- oriented street. The Plan also states that adequate parking is to be provided by each development so as to minimize the demands for on- street parking and to allow for the free flow of traffic. Because of this, requests to reduce required parking are usually not supported by staff. The proposed museum/retail building requires 13 parking spaces by current by -law standards. The applicant wishes to provide only eight spaces. The reduction is considered reasonable on two accounts. First, the applicant has submitted a parking demand analysis to support the reduction. The study has been reviewed and accepted by Municipal Works. The consultant determined that only seven parking spaces would be necessary to support the development even if the entire floor area was devoted to retail space which generates a higher parking demand. This is due to a high "captive market" which essentially describes people who are already in the area and who would arrive at the subject site as `walk -by traffic ". The parking can therefore be adjusted taking this into consideration. Second, t he building is to be designed such that the retail space will be ancillary to the museum. Because of this, the retail space in itself will not contribute significantly to the demand for parking. Based on the above, it would appear that the eight spaces to be provided should be adequate to service the proposed development. 2. The requested amendment is appropriate. The subject property is currently zoned TC. Site specific provisions are requested to reduce the zoning standards for parking as it applies to the proposed museum/retail building. The request is appropriate as the amending by -law will only reduce the parking standard site specifically and only for the museum and retail spaces of the areas specified on the site plan. In other words, the applicant will not be able to expand the retail space or establish a restaurant within the building and benefit from the reduced standard. November 17, 2003 - 3 - PD- 2003 -100 CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the requested amendment to reduce the required parking for a proposed museum/retail building can be recommended for approval because: it is in compliance with the Official Plan; the proposed reduction is reasonable and should provide an adequate parking supply; and the amending by -law will restrict the reduced parking standard to a museum and retail use only and will establish maximum gross floor areas for these uses.

BACKGROUND: Proposal: Modern Landfill Corporation which is located at 2025 Fruitbelt Parkway has requested an amendment to Zoning By -law No. 79 -200 to permit the property at 1985 Stanley Avenue (northwest corner of Stanley Avenue and Fruitbelt Parkway, see Schedule 1) to be used for the storage of waste collection vehicles and related equipment. Refer to Schedule 2 for the details of the development. The land is currently zoned Light Industrial (LI) which does not permit a vehicle storage compound. The LI zoning is requested to be amended site specifically to permit a storage compound for waste collection vehicles and related equipment to be established on the property. Surrounding Land Uses: The subject land is bounded by Highway 405 to the north. There are industrial uses to the southwest and west of the property. To the east and south there is a mix of small -scale industrial type uses and legal non - conforming residential uses. Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks • Finance • Human Resources • Information Systems • Legal • Planning & Development November 17, 2003 - 2 - PD- 2003 -95 Circulation Comments: Information regarding this application was circulated to City departments, government agencies and the public for comment. The following comments have been received: • Regional Municipality of Niagara The proposed development on the property is within the Urban Boundary according to the Regional Policy Plan. The proposed compound is an appropriate use for an industrial district. • Parks, Recreation & Culture • Ministry of Transportation Berms and landscaping should be implemented to improve the Stanley Avenue streetscape and screen nearby residences. The City should ensure satisfactory storm drainage and grading plans are submitted. Regional Public Works comments regarding road widenings and access requirements should be implemented (at the site plan stage). No objections. Applicable ministry permits to be obtained prior to development. A stormwater management report, traffic study and lighting details requested to demonstrate no negative impacts on highway 405 (comment to be addressed at site plan stage) • Municipal Works - see attached Planning Review: The following is a summary of staff's assessment of the application. 1. The proposal complies with the intent and the purpose of the Official Plan. The subject lands are designated Industrial in the Official Plan. Lands under this designation are intended to be used for a variety of industrial uses, including manufacturing, processing, distribution and storage. The proposed use, an extension of the existing Modem Corporation facility on the west side of Fruitbelt Parkway, is compatible with the permitted industrial uses. However, due to its location adjacent to an arterial road that serves as a gateway to the City, the site should be extensively bermed and landscaped to screen the compound and buffer nearby residences. The site provides sufficient area to buffer and screen the proposed use. Implementation of the zoning provisions proposed in this report will ensure this use meets the intent of the Official Plan. 2. The requested amendment is appropriate for the site. The property is zoned LI. The applicant has requested site specific provisions to be added to the LI zoning to permit the compound. Because the storage compound will be closely associated November 17, 2003 -3 - PD- 2003 -95 with the existing Modern Corporation facility on Fruitbelt Parkway and will not be an independent operation, the requested amendment is consistent with the intent of the Zoning By- law. It is recommended that, given the location of the proposed compound adjacent to a major road and near to residences, site specific regulations be implemented to screen and buffer this facility. The following regulations should be implemented: • the proposed compound be permitted in the approximate area shown on Schedule 2. • landscape strips be required along Fruitbelt Parkway and Stanley Avenue to create a pleasing appearance and to help screen this use from streets and nearby properties. • berming be required to further screen the use. • prohibit the site from being used to store refuse by restricting the use to the storage of empty waste collection vehicles and bins and related equipment. 3. The proposal is subject to site plan control. The development of the compound is subject to site plan control. The applicant has concurrently submitted a site plan application with this application. Site plan control will ensure that the required landscaping and berming required is implemented, adequate storm water drainage is provided and safe vehicular movements and entrance points are provided. CONCLUSION: The requested amendment can be supported for the following reasons: 1. The proposal is within the intent and purpose of the Official Plan. 2. The proposed compound will be an extension of an existing business in the area and therefore is consistent with the intent of the Zoning By -law. 3. The Zoning By -law, in concert with site plan control, will regulate the appearance and function of the compound and will screen the use from surrounding streets and properties.

To facilitate safe site distances, the City will require a 7.0 metre x 7.0 metre daylighting triangle at the intersection of Stanley Avenue. This requirement may be imposed by the Region. If so, the City will retract the requirement. Stanley Avenue is under Regional jurisdiction and their comments should be acquired. Underground Municipal Services - There are 150mm diameter watermains on both Fruitbelt Parkway and Stanley Avenue. The Stanley Avenue watermain is under Regional jurisdiction and is subject to a 1954 external servicing agreement for the Bevan Heights subdivision. More specifically, any connections to the main will be required to pay $1.80 per foot of frontage to the Bevans or Bevan Estate. No sanitary sewers are available on this section of Stanley Avenue or Fruitbelt Parkway. The closest sanitary line is a 375mm diameter sewer on Stanley Avenue which presently terminates at the Portage Road intersection. However; the Town of Niagara -on- the -Lake is presently involved in the environmental assessment process to permit the construction of a sanitary sewer along Stanley Avenue to service future developments in Niagara -on- the -Lake. It is anticipated that this work will be carried out during 2004. When the new sewer is constructed, future developments will be required to pay their proportionate share of the construction costs prior to the City allowing a connection. At this point in time, it is too early in the process to provide adjacent landowners with the associated costs. There are no storm sewers available to the subject lands. Topographical information indicates the subject lands drain to the regional ditch on Stanley Avenue which outlets to an MTO storm sewer along Highway 405. It is anticipated that the above agencies will require a stormwater management report. The applicant will be required to provide the City with assurances that the stormwater scheme is acceptable to the Region and the MTO. This will be addressed during the site plan process. BS /hc c.

Unfortunately we are unable to attend the meeting on Monday November 17, 2003 regarding the application to amend the zoning by -law number 79 -2000 because we will be out of town. We have a few concerns we would like to address. Our first concern as residential owners is whether or not there will be unpleasant odors emitted from the vehicles and other equipment while they are parked, especially during the summer months when we like to have our windows open. The other concern we have is concerning fumes and noise and we wanted to know if study has been considered. In the past when our area was rezoned to light industrial we were not notified or asked to express our views. When amending zoning by -laws residential owners should be taken into consideration due to the fact that we were here originally and intend to be here for along time. We have to be able to get along as neighbors and we feel that businesses and the city should have to look at our position as residential owners.

BACKGROUND: Proposal An amendment to Zoning By -law No. 79 -200 has been requested to permit a day nursery to be operated on the ground floor of the existing building located at 6837 Thorold Stone Road (see Schedule 1 to locate the lands). No changes to the building or the site are proposed. Refer to Schedule 2 for the details of the existing development. The Neighbourhood Commercial (NC) zoning of the land is requested to be amended site specifically to permit a day nursery to be established within the existing building. Surrounding Land Uses The site is located in a commercial node centered on the intersection of Thorold Stone Road and Dorchester Road. There are commercial developments to the south and west of the site, and there is a hydro corridor and multiple unit residential developments to the north and east of the site. Circulation Comments Information regarding this application was circulated to City departments, government agencies and the public for comment. The following comments have been received. Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks • Finance • Human Resources • Information Systems • Legal • Planning & Development November 17, 2003 - 2 - PD- 2003 -96 • Municipal Works No comments or conditions to impose. • Parks, Recreation & Culture No objections. • Regional Municipality of Niagara The Region is not opposed to the approval of the proposed Zoning By- law amendment from either a Regional or Provincial planning perspective. Adequate parking should be provided for the use and regard should be had for traffic impacts. Planning Review The following is a summary of staff's assessment of the application. 1. The proposal complies with the intent and the purpose of the Official Plan. The land is part of a commercial node which is designated Minor Commercial in the Official Plan. Lands under this designation are intended to be developed and used for a wide range of retail, personal service, office uses and community and cultural facilities and to serve a segment of the population. The site is developed with a small mixed use commercial plaza with dwelling units on the second floor. The proposed use is compatible with the uses already permitted in the commercial node. 2. The requested amendment is appropriate for the site. The property is zoned NC. The applicant operates a private learning (tutorial) centre within one of the units in the plaza, under an office use. In order to serve additional students, the applicant requires licensing under the Day Nursery Act. Adding a day nursery to the list of uses permitted on the property will permit the learning centre to serve added students. No changes are proposed to the existing development standards, nor are any changes proposed to the existing site layout or building footprint. The proposal is a small -scale use that is consistent and compatible with other uses permitted in the NC zone. The site would continue to conform to the intent of the NC zone. 3. Site Comments The Ministry of Community and Social Services has verbally expressed concerns regarding the location of the drop -off and pick -up area on the property. The agency is concerned that drop -offs occuring in front of the building maybe less safe, with a chance that children may run into traffic. The owner has agreed to locate the drop -off for the day nursery at the rear of the building to decrease the risk. November 17, 2003 - 3 - PD- 2003 -96 CONCLUSION: The requested amendment can be supported because it conforms with the intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the use would be compatible with the other uses permitted in the NC zone.

BACKGROUND: On October 20, 2003, Council approved the recommendations of staff report PD- 2003 -92, authorizing staff to initiate the subject zoning amendment. It should be noted that the heading for Report PD- 2003 -92 referenced the Cimenelli property. The owners of this property, which is one of the larger parcels subject to the amendment, indicated the property should be referenced as owned by Lundy's Regency Arms Corp. The City- initiated zoning amendment proposes to rezone the lands illustrated on Schedule 1 from Prestige Industrial to Development Holding and amend By -law No. 2002 -201 by removing schedule C -G, which provides a location for adult entertainment parlours and body -rub parlours. Schedule C -G to By -law No. 2002 -201 is shown as Schedule 2. Site Description and Surrounding Land Uses: The subject lands are situated at the north end of Oakwood Drive between the Queen Elizabeth Highway on the west side, hydro canal lands on the east side and south of Lundy's Lane. North of the lands subject to the rezoning are tourist commercial uses on the south side of Lundy's Lane. Residential development and the Factory Outlet Mall exist on the west side of the QEW. On the east side of the hydro canal is residential development. South of the subject area are light industrial uses and a senior citizens residence. Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks • Finance • Human Resources • Information Systems • Legal • Planning & Development November 17, 2003 - 2 - PD- 2003 -102 One of the major land holders which would be subject to this amendment received site plan approval for storage units at the southern periphery of the property. Oakwood Drive was extended to provide direct access to the development via an agreement between the City and developers. It should be noted the area which received site plan approval for the storage units is not subject to this application. Circulation Comments: Information regarding the application was circulated to City departments, government agencies and the public for comment. No objections have been received. Staff has received concerns verbally from principals involved in the land holdings concerning the timing of the application and the proposed zoning change. The reasons for processing the application in the manner carried out was explained in Report PD- 2003 -92. Recent inquiries were made about the establishment of an adult entertainment facility on the lands and due to the reasons explained below, staff has attempted to inform Council and process an amendment to correct the situation in an expedient manner. Planning Review: The following is a summary of staff's assessment of the application. 1. Official Plan Conformity - Adult Entertainment Facilities The subject lands are designated Residential in the Official Plan but zoned for Industrial use. The Residential designation was applied to the lands during the 1991 Official Plan review and approved in 1993. The Residential designation indicates the City's long -term intent that the property be used for residential purposes. A great deal of time and public consultation was spent to develop a planning and licensing framework for the siting and operation of adult entertainment facilities. The City's Official Plan was amended to permit adult entertainment facilities in only Industrial designations subject to distance separation criteria from various sensitive land uses. Policies were also put in place to prevent existing legal non - conforming adult entertainment facilities from expanding. Since the subject area is designated Residential, this area would not be eligible for adult entertainment uses from a policy perspective. 2. Zoning By -law The subject lands are zoned Prestige Industrial (PI) by By -law No. 79 -200. The PI zone does not conform to the Official Plan policies but pre - exists the Official Plan land use designation. The purpose of rezoning the property to Development Holding (DH) is to bring it into conformity with the Official Plan. The DH zone is a category which retains land for future residential use. A future rezoning to a site specific residential use would be required to develop the property. Until recently, the developer of the storage unit development had expressed an interest in developing predominantly residential condominium development on the remaining property to the north. The proposed DH zone would not conflict with this intent as it better indicates the intent of development allowed by the Official Plan and the opportunity to explore development opportunities which comply. November 17, 2003 - 3 - PD- 2003 -102 As part of the planning framework, the City's Zoning By -law was amended to permit adult entertainment facilities in various industrial zones. The by -law further indicates such facilities can only be sited within the hatched areas identified on the various schedules in the Zoning By -law. These schedules reflect the implementation of the separation distances discussed in the Official Plan. A portion of the subject area was included as a site for an adult entertainment facility in By- law No. 79 -200 (Schedule C -G). The site met the Official Plan separation criteria and was zoned Industrial. The intent of the planning amendments, however, was for adult entertainment sites to be "designated" and "zoned" for industrial purposes. Amending By- law No. 2002 -201 by removing Schedule C -G will clarify the site will no longer be available for an adult entertainment facility. 3. Adult Entertainment Parlours and Body -Rub Parlours - Licensing Public notice has been given to remove the schedule in the licensing by -law which shows the subject area as a possible site for an adult entertainment use. This licensing amendment will compliment the proposed zoning amendment and eliminate any confusion over the site's eligibility for the aforementioned uses. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, it is recommended Council approve the proposed amendment to bring the subject property into conformity with the Residential designation of the Official Plan and clarify that the property cannot be considered a potential site for an adult entertainment facility.

These lands are within the Niagara Falls Urban Area Boundary according to the Regional Policy Plan. The City of Niagara Falls has initiated the proposed zoning by -law amendment which will rezone these lands from Prestige Industrial (PI) to Development Holding (DH). This will more closely reflect the intent of the City's Official Plan which designates this area as Residential and preclude the use of these lands for an adult entertainment establishment which is permitted under the current industrial zoning. There are no plans for development at this time as this is essentially a "housekeeping" amendment by the City that will provide for more consistency between the Official Plan and Zoning By -law. Any future plans for development will require a further site specific rezoning and consideration of detailed Regional and Provincial planning requirements. In this regard, Regional Planning staff is not opposed to the zoning by -law amendment application from a Regional and Provincial planning perspective.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this Public Meeting is to receive information and provide an opportunity for the public to comment on the proposed subdivision. Planning & Development will consider all comments received from the public, Region, agencies and City departments and prepare a recommendation report to Council at a future meeting. There is to be no decision made at the meeting held tonight. Notice of the Public Meeting was given in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act. The applicant has been invited to attend this Public Meeting to provide an overview of the subdivision proposal and answer any questions. Proposal The applicant proposes to subdivide a 1.68 hectare (4.15 acre) site into 28 lots for single- detached dwellings. The plan has been revised from the initial submission that provided 21 lots. The property is located west of Kalar Road and north of Lundy's Lane, on the south side of Feren Drive within the recently registered Orchard Grove West plan of subdivision as shown on Schedule 1. The proposed roadway connects with Feren Drive and has two cul- de-sac bulbs. Schedule 2 illustrates the proposed subdivision layout. The City's Official Plan designates the property Residential which permits a variety of housing types. The land is currently zoned Development Holding (DH -581) by Zoning By -law No. 79 -200, as amended by site specific By -law No. 2002 -113. The applicant has requested the zoning of the land be changed to a modified Residential Single Family lE Density Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks • Finance • Human Resources • Information Systems • Legal • Planning & Development November 17, 2003 - 2 - PD- 2003 -98 (R1 E) category that retains the existing DH -581 requirements for an increased dwelling setback and limited dwelling height abutting the land to the west containing a campground. Special zoning provisions are also requested to accommodate the proposed lot sizes and to allow the construction of dwellings with reduced front yard and exterior side yard setbacks as well as an increase to lot coverage. The related zoning by -law amendment (File AM- 37/2003) will be subject to a Public Meeting at a later date. CONCLUSION: The Public Meeting is an important part of the consultation and input process in the review of development applications. This meeting satisfies the requirements of the Planning Act. Comments received will be considered in preparing the recommendation report on the proposed subdivision.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Council consider input received at the Public Meeting and refer all matters to staff for review of the Ascot Woods Extension 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision. BACKGROUND: The purpose of this Public Meeting is to receive information and provide an opportunity for the public to comment on the proposed subdivision. Planning & Development will consider all comments received from the public, Region, agencies and City departments and prepare a recommendation report to Council at a future meeting. There is to be no decision made at the meeting held tonight. Notice of the Public Meeting was given in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act. The applicant has been invited to attend this Public Meeting to provide an overview of the subdivision proposal and answer any questions. Proposal The applicant proposes to subdivide a 3.94 hectare (9.73 acre) site into 25 lots for single- detached dwellings and a block for parkland. The property is located between Kalar Road and Montrose Road, northwest of the CN Railway line and southwest of the proposed extension to Highway 420 as shown on Schedule 1. The proposed roadways are a continuation of Beaverton Boulevard and Brookside Drive that terminate with cul -de -sacs. Schedule 2 illustrates the proposed subdivision layout. The City's Official Plan designates the property Residential which permits a variety of housing types. The land is currently zoned Development Holding (DH) by Zoning By -law No. 79- 200. The applicant has requested the zoning of the land be changed to the Residential Single Family 1E Density (R1E) category. The related zoning by -law amendment (File AM- 38/2003) will be subject to a Public Meeting at a later date. Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks • Finance Human Resources • Information Systems • Legal • Planning & Development November 17, 2003 - 2 - PD- 2003 -99 CONCLUSION: The Public Meeting is an important part of the consultation and input process in the review of development applications.

BACKGROUND: The applicant proposes to convert the existing rental quadruplex (4 units) to condominium. The plan of condominium would permit the individual ownership of each unit while the common areas (such as the driveway and open space) would be shared by all the condominium owners. The property is on the south side of Dunn Street, east of Drummond Road (see Schedule 1). The unit layout and parking/driveway area are shown on Schedule 2. There are no public notification requirements for plans of condominium under the Planning Act, however, tenants were notified of this public meeting to discuss the application in accordance with City procedures. The developer also contacted the tenants regarding the proposed condominium conversion. Site Assessment The subject land is located on Dunn Street (municipal jurisdiction) which is undersized with respect to the desired right -of -way width and a road widening is requested consistent with other dedications taken on the street. The property is zoned Residential Low Density, Grouped Multiple Dwellings Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks • Finance • Human Resources • Information Systems • Legal • Planning & Development November 17, 2003 - 2 - PD- 2003 -105 (R4) through Zoning By -law No. 79 -200, as amended by site specific By -law No. 88 -101. The quadruplex was constructed in 1989 and there are no outstanding site plan issues. Further information from the developer is needed to determine zoning compliance with the required minimum driveway width of 5.5 metres (18 feet) and parking stall/manoeuvring aisle dimensions. The location of the shed in the rear yard does not satisfy the site specific zoning provision that no structure can be closer than 10 metres (32.8 feet) to the south limit of the property. The designation of a fire access route and posted parking restrictions along the driveway through the site may be required. The property is within a plan of subdivision from the 1850s - prior to parkland requirements. As permitted by the Planning Act, cash -in -lieu of parkland dedication is requested. Provincial Landlord and Tenant Legislation The Tenant Protection Act (TPA) came into force in 1998. This act replaced several pieces of legislation including the Landlord and Tenant Act, Rent Control Act and Rental Housing Protection Act (RHPA). Previously, condominium conversion applications required an exemption to the RHPA and municipalities could impose conditions to safeguard tenants. The Tenant Protection Act removed this municipal review function, but contains sections to protect existing tenants in cases of condominium conversions. Tenants can continue to rent their units and have the right of first refusal to purchase a converted unit. Municipal Rental Housing Policies The City's Official Plan states that rental accommodation shall be protected and discourages the conversion of rental units to condominium when the vacancy rate is below three percent. Although tenants' rights are protected by the Provincial TPA, the principle remains that removal of rental units should not adversely affect the supply of affordable rental housing in the municipality. The most current vacancy rate information available from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) is from the survey conducted in October 2002. The quadruplex has independent ground floor entrances and is considered similar to a townhouse /rowhouse unit. The CMHC survey does not provide data for the rowhouse vacancy rate in this area of the City or for the overall municipality due to statistical unreliability (e.g., insufficient sample). The rowhouse vacancy rate is 3.6% within the City's core area. Information from the October 2003 survey has not been released but no major changes in the vacancy rate are anticipated. Although it is desirable to maintain existing rental accommodation, the removal of these four units should not have an adverse impact on the City's rental housing supply. Information supplied by the applicant indicates an estimated selling price for the proposed condominium units of $129,000 to $139,000 for these three bedroom units. This purchase price range for the condominium units would provide additional affordable housing options in an alternate form to a typical townhouse unit. Regional Planning Comments The Region and the Provincial Policy Statement promote the provision of an adequate supply of various housing types to meet the range of housing needs. The Regional Policy Plan states that Regional Council will not support the conversion of rental housing to condominium ownership if the supply of affordable rental housing will be adversely affected - a vacancy rate of three percent or more is considered desirable for a healthy rental market. As previously noted, there is no data for Niagara Falls, but the overall vacancy rate for rowhousing in the Region is 3.1% from the October November 17, 2003 - 3 - PD- 2003 -105 2002 CMHC survey. The Region states that retaining the units as rental would be the most affordable type of housing. However, the application meets the Regional conversion policy and only involves four units. CONCLUSION: The proposed conversion of the existing quadruplex development to condominium ownership can be supported. There are no specific vacancy figures available for this type of housing in Niagara Falls but the removal of the four rental units should not have an adverse impact on the City's rental supply. The rights of the current tenants will be safeguarded through the requirements of the Tenant Protection Act. The condominium will provide additional affordable priced units to the housing market. The conditions of approval are listed in the Appendix. Prepared by: Richard Wilson Planner 2 Recommended by: Doug Darbyson Director of Planning & Development Approved by: T.

Purpose The purpose of this report is to inform Council of three Niagara Escarpment Commission Policy Reports recently circulated to the Municipality for review. BACKGROUND: The reports on `Commercial Water Taking' and `Wind Power Development' do not include specific policy amendments but rather discuss current applicable Niagara Escarpment Plan (NEP) policies and the possible direction of future policy amendments. The third report discussing `Radio and Telecommunication Towers and Facilities' contains the comments of the NEC to the National AntennaPolicy Review Team who is currently undergoing a review ofthe procedures for the placing of antenna towers. The following is a brief overview of these reports: Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks • Finance • Human Resources • Information Systems • Legal • Planning & Development November 17, 2003 PD- 2003 -97 Commercial Water Taking and its Regulation in the Area of the Niagara Escarpment Plan - Interpretation as a Permitted Use This report clarifies that commercial water taking/bottling is not a permitted use within the Niagara Escarpment area and that such a use would require an amendment to the NEP. The reports indicate that a comprehensive policy review would be required to consider the addition of water taking/bottling as a permitted use in the Plan. Water taking in the Niagara Escarpment for rural residences /farms, pumping related to mineral resource extraction, irrigation for golf course and municipal supplies servicing urban and recreation areas remains a permitted use. Wind Power Development Wind Power Development is being discussed in light of the recently established Provincial priority on renewable energy resources. Sites are currently being studied and optioned for the establishment of wind power generation facilities including sites in the Niagara Region. As a utility, wind power developments would be subject to the Niagara Escarpment Development Permit process; however, the NEC has serious concerns regarding the impact of these developments on the scenic importance of the Escarpment landscape. Wind power sites, for example, would include 50 -70, 430 feet tall wind towers in order to provide 100 megawatts of power - the standard of commercial viability. This report concludes that: wind power development should be directed away from the NEC area and prohibited altogether in scenic areas; household/farm generators can continue to be considered on a site specific basis as accessory uses through the Development Permit Review process; The NEC should review wind power proposals on lands adjacent to the NEP for potential impacts on the Escarpment landscape; and that consideration be given to the prohibition or limiting of wind power generation until the industry has had a chance to become better established. Radio and Telecommunication Towers and Facilities a nd its regulation in the Area of the Niagara Escarpment Plan (National Antenna Policy Review) The licensing and site approvals of radio and telecommunication towers are under federal jurisdiction (Industry Canada) and there is limited consultation regarding their placement and design with the local municipalities, interested agencies or the general public. In response to a National Antenna Policy Review currently being undertaken by the Federal Government, the NEC has developed a number of recommendations for the Review Board to consider. These recommendations aim to direct the development of telecommunication November 17, 2003 - 3 - PD-2003-97 towers /antennas away from areas with scenic significance such as the Niagara Escarpment. Also included within the recommendations is the suggestion that the processing of applications for new towers should resemble the planning process with required notification, appeal processes enforcement and site plan review. The NEC has decided to circulate their report to the National Antenna Policy Review Team to those municipalities along the escarpment to make them aware of the review. Any further action on the Policy Review or NEC recommendations is left up to the discretion of the municipality. Planning Review: The City's Official Plan and Zoning By -law do not make reference to the taking of water for commercial purposes or wind power developments. The "Niagara Escarpment Plan Area" designation of the City's Official Plan refers to the policies of the Niagara Escarpment Plan and the recommendations made by the Niagara Escarpment staff through the background reports would not involve any amendments to the City's Planning documents or any change to the Municipal review of Development Permit Applications. Antennas/Telecommunication Towers The City's Official Plan does not make specific reference to antennas or telecommunication towers and, as noted above, refers to the Niagara Escarpment Plan for lands within its `Niagara Escarpment Plan Area' designation. Section 4.4 of Zoning By -law 79 -200 allows public services such as telecommunication facilities provided that: "any building and land used or occupied shall be designed and landscaped in accordance with the general character of the zone in which such building and land are located'. The height provisions ofthe By -law do not apply to telecommunication towers and antennae. The Municipality has the option of providing its own comments to the National Antenna Policy Review Team, supporting the recommendations of the NEC in whole or in part, or declining to provide comments. The NEC's main aim is to protect the visual and natural features along the Escarpment. However, within its report to the Policy Review Team, the NEC has included recommendations that benefit the local municipality. This includes: increased public involvement (since opposition is first directed to the local level); more accountability for the telecommunication provider (to consult with local agencies and the public); increased provisions for enforcement or legal action (for facilities built prior to a proper review); and - clear direction on the preservation of the environmental or cultural /natural landscape. The policy recommendations made by the NEC can be supported by Planning staff. November 17, 2003 PD- 2003 -97 CONCLUSION: The policy reports do not affect the City's Planning policies and as such Planning staff has no objection to the recommendations contained in the reports. Further, Planning staff agrees with the recommendations of the Niagara Escarpment Commission to the National Antenna Review Board regarding the inclusion of accountability and enforcement procedures in the Antenna review process.

BACKGROUND: The Municipal Heritage Committee (MHC) met on November 12, 2003 to consider four applications for Designated Property grants. 1) The First Bampfield House - 4325 Bampfield Street An application for a grant by the owner, Mr. Leslie Khan, to replace deteriorated wood shingles on the four roof dormers was considered by the Committee. The Committee did not find the dormers to be of sufficient age or significance to warrant consideration under municipal guidelines. The following motion was adopted: "That the Committee does not support the grant application for 4325 Bampfield Street for the proposed restoration of the wood shingle siding on the existing dormers because they are not original elements nor are they architecturally significant to the historic structure and, therefore, do not meet the eligibility criteria under the Designated Property Grant program." 2) Stamford Village Cottage - 3360 St. Patrick Avenue An application for a grant by the owners, Ron and Joan Brown, to restore five windows with 12 overl2 true- divided sash was considered by the Committee. The Committee was satisfied that Working Together to Serve Our Community November 17, 2003 - 2 - PD- 2003 -104 12 over 12 window sash are historically correct. The estimated cost to restore the five windows (10 sash) is $2,140. The project is eligible for a grant equal to two- thirds of the cost of the work; therefore, a maximum grant of $1,426.52 is allowable. The following motion was adopted: "That the Committee supports the grant application for 3360 St. Patrick Avenue for the proposed restoration of five windows with 12 over 12 true- divided sash to a maximum grant of $1,426.52, with the stipulation that any future restoration projects be presented to the Municipal Heritage Committee prior to any work being carried out." 3) Bampfield Hall - 4761 Zimmerman Avenue An application for a grant by the owner, David Tetrault, to restore the porch columns, porch floor and a portion of the crown moulding was considered by the Committee. The Committee found the porch to be of sufficient age and architectural character to warrant restoration based on historic photographs submitted. The estimated cost of the work is $3,734. A grant equal to a maximum of two- thirds of the cost of the work is allowable; therefore, the maximum grant is $2,489.08. The following motion was adopted: "That the Committee supports the grant application for 4761 Zimmerman Avenue for the restoration of the porch columns, floor and crown moulding to a maximum grant of $2,489.08." 4) Doran/Marshall House - 4851 River Road An application for a grant by the owner, Gary Burke, to restore the historic exterior paint colours was reviewed by the Committee. The Committee determined that the red colour was appropriate to the architectural period based on the painted shingle presented, but required further evidence that trim colours used matched those originally used on the building. An application for $5,500 was submitted for labour costs associated with the project. The project is eligible for a maximum grant of $3,000. The following motion was adopted: "That the Committee supports in principle the grant application for 4851 River Road for the restoration of paint colours, but that approval be deferred until documentary evidence of the original paint colours is provided to support the colours used on the trim and sash, as outlined in the Guidelines." Prior to any grant being issued, the owner must submit original invoices, paid in full, and a staff inspection must have occurred which confirms the work has been completed in a satisfactory manner. CONCLUSION: The Municipal Heritage Committee is requesting Council's concurrence on these matters.

Some participants pointed out that within this area there are native plants of some significants. These may be destroyed if permission is given to develop this property .Over the past hundred years our society has caused the extinction of many plants, bird and animals. The bio- diversity of our environment has been reduced, -- a fact our society may regret in a few years if not now. In the course of next few years your Council will be asked to approve many development projects. We urge you to inventory all woodlots and undisturbed prairie and to investigate these for environmental significants, so to be prepared to preseve the best and make wise choices. Please be pro - active in keeping the city's wild spaces that contribute so much to it's charm.

BACKGROUND: Section 357 and 358 of The Municipal Act 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 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. The consideration of Council would be appreciated. Prepared by: A. Felicetti Revenue Supervisor Recommended by: K. E. Burden Director of Finance Approved by: T.

Burden Director Re: F- 2003 -49 - Borrowing By -Law RECOMMENDATION: That the Council approve the new short-term borrowing of approximately $32,000.00 for the 2003 Employee Computer Purchase Program. BACKGROUND: From time to time, the municipality's borrowing by -law is amended for the changes in the municipality's requirements for temporary borrowing. The municipality's financial institution relies upon the temporary borrowing by -law for the security of borrowed funds for municipal purposes. The borrowing by -law provides for current expenditures and for temporary borrowing for capital works. During 2003, 16 employees participated in the 2003 Employee Computer Purchase Program. The program is designed to enable City employees to purchase up -to -date computer equipment and software that matches the computer systems that the City uses. The program allows the City employee to purchase the equipment from the City's vendor and to finance the purchase using a two -year term loan. Through payroll deduction, the employee makes payments until the loan is fully paid. To fund this program, the municipality works with the financial institution to borrow the necessary funds for all of the purchases. The security for the loan repayment is both in the payroll deduction from each employee, and a personal property lien on the equipment purchased. The borrowing by -law on tonight's agenda is amended for this new short-term loan of approximately $32,000 for two years.

BACKGROUND: The following is a quarterly report of Tax, Utility and Sundry Receivables to September 30, 2003. Tax Balances Current Taxes 2003 2002 Percentage Collected 91% 75% Levy to Date $90,650,706. $112,689,255. Collections $82,126,173. $ 84,893,932. Balance $ 8,524,533. $ 27,795,322.

Total Unpaid Taxes $15,516,364. $33,809,026. Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks • Finance Human Resources • Information Systems • Legal • Planning & Development November 17, 2003 F- 2003 -50 The comparison of current taxes collected for 2003 with that of 2002, is impacted by the issuance of the final bills for certain property classes. In 2002, all tax bills had been issued by this date. In 2003, the final bills for the commercial, industrial, multi residential and mixed -use properties were not issued until October, with a due date of October 31, 2003. Sundry Receivables Accounts Receivables 2003 2002 $827,572. $433,025. The balance of September 30, 2003 included a large amount billed for a sewer reconstruction to a third party. This item accounts for the significant increase in the month -end balance. Consequently, without this item, the receivable amount would be comparable to previous years. Unpaid accounts are being actively pursued by staff. Delinquent accounts are charged 1 -1/4% interest per month. Prepared by: d/,ti:2 Respectfully submitted L.

BACKGROUND: Niagara Falls Fire Services has been committed to providing emergency response for fires, medical assistance calls and specialized rescues, including vehicle extrication calls. Even slow speed vehicle impacts can twist metal and trap occupants requiring specialized spreading and cutting tools to release trapped, and in many cases, seriously injured occupants. Time is critical in extrication operations, requiring precise tools to effect timely rescue. The hydraulic rescue tools which include the "Jaws of Life" have proven themselves over many years. New technology has developed since the Jaws were introduced that will expand the diversity of tools available for emergency responders to most effectively employ rescue. The proposed auto extrication equipment has been chosen after consultation with fire fighters to ensure the most applicable tools will be placed on response vehicles. The equipment will be placed on each front line emergency vehicle to provide capabilities to all areas of the City.

This has been provided for in the 2003 Capital Works Budget. BACKGROUND: For the past seven years City and Region of Niagara staff have been attempting to address combined sewer overflows to the environment at thirteen sites throughout the City. The largest combined sewer overflow, the Muddy Run, discharges to the Niagara River below the Whirlpool Bridge during heavy rain. The preferred technology, High Rate Treatment, was selected through a rigorous series of studies and an independent environmental assessment over the last seven years. Approved background council reports for this project include but are not limited to the following: Report # Title Date Mw -97 -80 High Rate Treatment Study June 9, 1997 MW- 2000 -17 High Rate Treatment Grant February 28, 2000 MW- 2000 -73 Proposed Environmental Assessment July 17, 2000 High Rate Treatment Facility Working Together to Serve Our Community Municipal Works • Fire Services • Parks, Recreation & Culture • Business Development • Building & By -Law Services November 17, 2003 - 2 - MW- 2003 -193 (referencing reports cont.) Report # Title Date MW- 2001 -28 High Rate Treatment Environmental Assessment Study Completion November 26, 2001 The Regional Municipality of Niagara assumed the lead on this project as their capital costs were significantly higher. A request for proposal and request for letters of interest were issued to three consultants approximately six and three months ago respectively. Consultant selection was performed in accordance with the Region's consultant selection policy. The Region's policy dictates that price is not to be considered in the selection unless the objective rating system deems two or more proposals to be equal or close in terms of technical merit. Three proposals were received for the consulting services involved in the design and construction of the combined sewer overflow treatment facility and Central Pump Station. The firms that submitted proposals and their point rating based on technical merit is as follows Consultant Rating Points Associated Engineering 741 CH2MHILL 712 Earth Tech 690 The two preferred proposals were considered, including cost. Based on the cost examination the preferred consultant was determined to be Associated Engineering at a total cost of $ 1,091,799.00. The cost distribution, arrived at with negotiations with Regional Staff, is as follows: Agency Total Cost Percentage Regional Municipality of Niagara $ 687,833.37 63 % City of Niagara Falls $ 403,965.63 37 % Total $ 1,091,799.00 100 % Further details and a breakdown of the associated costs are shown in the Regional Public Works Committee report attached for information. Please be advised that the Regional report and associated approval are contingent upon City of Niagara Falls Council Approval November 17, 2003 - 3 - MW-2003-193 Council's concurrence with the recommendation is requested.

That the engineering fee be calculated on a time plus expenses basis estimated to an upset limit of $ 1,091,799.00 exclusive of GST. The cost of this project is to be shared between the Region (63 %) and the City of Niagara Falls (37 %) as estimated on Table 1. The final cost sharing arrangement will be based on actual engineering and construction costs. At this time, it is estimated that the Region's share of the engineering fee will be $687,833.37 (63 %) and the City's share will be $403,965.63 (37 %). Award of this assignment is contingent upon City of Niagara Falls approval of their share of the engineering costs.

That the Regional Clerk be directed to ensure that the appropriate by -law is prepared for submission to Regional Council authorizing the Regional Chair and Regional Clerk to execute the contract on behalf of the Regional Municipality of Niagara. That the costs associated with this project be charged against Capital Project SW0230 PURPOSE This report requests authorization to retain consulting services for the new Central Sewage Pumping Station and CSO High Rate Treatment Facility in the City of Niagara Falls. BACKGROUND The International Joint Commission has designated the Niagara River as one of the 43 Areas of C oncern (AOC) i n t he G reat L akes B asin. T he designation i s t he result of degraded water quality in the river, caused by non -point runoff and direct industrial and municipal discharges to the river and its tributaries. The main sources of municipal discharges are due to combined sewer overflows (CSO) and stormwater discharges. As a consequence of the AOC designation, a Remedial Action Plan (RAP) for the Niagara River has been developed. Although the main findings of the RAP concerned contaminated sediments, there has been an ongoing effort by the City of Niagara Falls and the Regional Municipality of Niagara to control the municipal discharges within their boundaries to the Niagara River, and help address any RAP concerns. The focus of this project is on controlling the overflow that is discharged at the Muddy Run CSO discharge outlet from the Central Pumping Station service area. This CSO received by- passes and overflows from the Central Pumping Station and the Muddy Run Pumping Station. The overflow is discharged through a drop shaft near Muddy Run Pumping Station to the Niagara River. The Muddy Run CSO is one of the major overflows from the City's sanitary sewer system contributing close to 60% of the total overflow from the City. The City of Niagara Falls (City) and the Regional Municipality of Niagara are proceeding with the relocation and replacement of the existing Central Sewage Pump Station and the construction of a high rate treatment facility for the control and /or abatement of the City's largest combined sewer overflow by volume, the Muddy Run drop shaft. The City and the Region have clearly defined the need for a cooperative solution to the issue of CSO within the City of Niagara Falls urban area. Current Provincial legislative 2 requirements and environmental issues relating to the discharge of untreated sewage to the Niagara River reinforce the need for a timely and cost effective method of CSO control at this particular location. The construction of a high rate treatment facility in concert with a new sewage pumping facility will provide a cost effective alternative to the traditional methods of CSO abatement while providing an immediate and prolonged benefit in terms of pollutant discharge reduction to the Niagara River. Over the last two decades there have been several studies commissioned, by both the City and the Region, which highlight the need for CSO control within the City's combined sewer system area. High rate treatment of CSO has been selected as the preferred method of control for the Muddy Run site through both technical review and environmental assessment review processes. The specific technology for the wet weather treatment facility has yet to be selected and as such is an integral and crucial part of this particular project. It is anticipated that the preferred method of treatment will initially consist of a purely physical process with provisions made for the addition of chemical and or secondary treatment processes in the future. The new Central Pump Station will be designed and equipped to work in concert with the wet weather treatment facility to convey processed wastewater to the Stanley Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant via a new forcemain. The City and the Region have already purchased the land necessary for the project in the vicinity of the Whirlpool Bridge. The project area is bounded by Buttrey Street to the north, the Niagara River Parkway to the east, Park Street to the south, and Victoria Avenue to the west. The City of Niagara Falls and Regional Municipality of Niagara share ownership of 6.6 hectares of land within the project area, which is a large enough site to build the proposed works and provide a buffer from adjacent land owners. The project, including consulting engineering costs and construction costs, will be cost shared between the Region and the City as shown on Table 1. The Master Servicing Study completed by CH2M HILL and MacViro (June 2003) includes a recommendation that the Central Pumping Station and High Rate Treatment Facility be constructed within the next 10 years. REPORT This report requests approval to proceed with engineering design and construction services for the new Central Sewage Pumping Station and High Rate Treatment Facility in the City of Niagara Falls. The project includes the following works: 3 TABLE 1 DESCRIPTION ESTIMATED COSTS ($ MILLIONS) Est.

Introduction The Regional Municipality of Niagara and the City of Niagara Falls are proceeding with a Combined Sewer Overflow High Rate Treatment project as described below. The purpose of the current assignment is to confirm the viability of constructing and testing a pilot project in time to use the test results in the design of the full scale project. 1.1 Work by Others - Full Scale Project The City of Niagara Falls (City) and the Regional Municipality of Niagara (Region) are proceeding with the design and construction of a new Central Sewage Pump Station and High Rate Treatment (ART) facility for the control and /or abatement of the City's largest Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) by volume, the Muddy Run drop shaft. The schedule for this project is to have the design completed by the end of 2004, followed by construction starting in early 2005. The construction of an advanced treatment facility in concert with a new state of the art sewage pumping facility will provide a cost effective alternative to the traditional methods of CSO abatement while providing an immediate and prolonged benefit in terms of pollutant discharge reduction to the Niagara River. High rate physical treatment of CSO has been selected as the preferred method of control for the Muddy Run site through both technical review and environmental assessment review processes. The specific technology for the wet weather treatment facility will be selected during the preliminary design phase. It is anticipated that the preferred method of treatment will initially consist of a purely physical process with provisions made for the addition of chemical and or secondary treatment processes in the future. The new Central Pump Station will be designed and equipped to work in concert with the wet weather treatment facility to convey processed wastewater to the Stanley Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant via a new forcemain. The City and the Region have purchased the land necessary for the project in the vicinity of the Whirlpool Bridge. Figure 1 shows the lands purchased and the ownership details. Figure 1 also shows the relative positions of the existing Muddy Run Sewer, existing gravity sewers, and pump stations. 1 The Project Area, as shown in Figure 1, is bounded by Buttrey Street to the north, the Niagara River Parkway to the east, Park Street to the south, and Victoria Avenue to the west. The City of Niagara Falls and Regional Municipality of Niagara share ownership of the subject lands as delineated in Figure 1 and Figure 5.5. The proposed works will be sited on the subject lands to facilitate the use of either the existing Muddy Run Sewer or a newly constructed gravity sewer from the terminal point of the existing Muddy Run Sewer at the existing Central Pumping Station to the new treatment and pump station facility. The influent sewer will convey both wet and dry weather flows to a flow splitter upstream of the new pump station and HRT facility. The Class Environmental Assessment Report suggested a conceptual facility layout and flow diversion scheme as per Figure 5.5 (attached). 1.2 Current Assignment — Pilot Project The City has recently received a contribution from the Great Lakes Sustainability Fund and the City and Region have decided to proceed with a pilot project prior to construction of the full scale project described above. The pilot project will test two HRT technologies as follows: Manufacturer Unit Methodology CDS Technologies Gross Solids Separator Constant Deflective Screening www.cdstech.com Hydro International www.hrd.co.uk Storm King Vortex Separation This pilot project will coincide with the design phase of the full scale project. The challenge of implementing the pilot project will be to have it up and running such that test results become available early enough to be considered in the design of the full scale facility. It is therefore imperative that the pilot units be in place by April 1, 2004 in order get test results from the Spring 2004 CSO events. The professional services required to assist the City and the Region shall be provided according to the Terms of Reference contained herein. 2. Project Objectives The Region is requesting an Engineering Proposal to provide Preliminary Design Services for the pilot project. The primary purpose of this assignment is to confirm the viability of implementing this pilot project in the short time frame given in order for the test results to be made available to the designers of the full scale project in a timely fashion. 2 Following completion of the preliminary design phase, and assuming that the proposed schedule is shown to be achievable, the City and Region intend to proceed directly to final design and construction. 3. Work Outline /Project Tasks This assignment will include, but not be limited to, the tasks outlined below. The consultant shall describe in their proposal any other work required to satisfactorily complete the preliminary design of this project, based on their understanding of the project and their past experience. 3.1 Review of Documentation The Consultant will carry out a review of all the documents that are necessary, in the consultant's opinion, to produce the required project objectives. The references listed in Section 7 do not represent an exhaustive list. 3.2 Preliminary Design The scope of the preliminary design work includes the following tasks: • Contact the suppliers of the two pilot treatment units and confirm their schedule /delivery time. • Prepare a detailed project schedule to confirm whether or not it is possible to have the pilot units on line by April 1, 2004. The schedule is to show preliminary design, final design and construction phases. The City and Region can provide information regarding the proposed monitoring /sampling program. • Confirm the suitability of the Central project area, as shown in Figure 1, for the implementation of the pilot project. This is the site preferred by the City and Region as the combined sewage characteristics are specific to the full scale project. If there is some reason, however, that installation of the test facilities at this site by April 1 is not practical; consideration is to be given to alternative sites, including the High Lift Pump Station and the Niagara Falls Waste Water Treatment Facility. • Preliminary design of the pilot project, including inlet and outlet piping, pumping (if required), access, flow monitoring equipment, flow sampling equipment, electrical power supply, etc. Consideration is to be given to using the existing elevation drop in the trunk sewer at the north east corner of the Central site to avoid or minimize the need for pumping 3 • Arrange for detailed site survey work to be carried out by others as required. Do not carry an allowance for this work as the cost of the survey will be paid for directly by the City /Region. • Review previous Phase 1, 2 and 3 Environmental Site Assessment Reports and Site Specific Risk Assessment Report, and develop a strategy for dealing with any contaminated soil and groundwater on site. • Prepare a preliminary design report in letter format summarizing the findings and conclusions. The report is to include a schedule, construction cost estimate, and layout of the proposed works in sufficient detail to allow the Region to subsequently proceed with detailed design. The layout drawing(s) are to include a hydraulic profile drawing showing key elevations and connectivity of the proposed works. • The consultant is to submit the preliminary design report to the City and Region for review at the 90% completion point. The consultant will then finalize the report. 3.3 Ministry of Environment (MOE) Certificate of Approval This project is proceeding on the understanding, based on previous discussions with the MOE, that a Certificate of Approval is not required for the pilot project given that no chemicals will be added to the sewage flow. The consultant is, however, to allow for one meeting with the MOE to review the project. 4. Project Management and Reports The lead contacts for the Region and City will be Mr. Peter Baker and Mr. David Watt respectively. Invoices for engineering services are to be forwarded directly to City to the attention of Mr. Watt. The consultant is to assign a project manager responsible for undertaking the project. The consultant is required to review project progress on a regular basis with Regional and City staff. In order to expedite the schedule progress meetings shall be informal and discussions shall occur over the phone as much as possible. The consultant is to allow for attendance at three meetings but written minutes of meeting will not be necessary. Any significant change in the Consultant's assigned staff shall be approved by the Region in advance. All reports will be prepared in Microsoft Word and all drawings will be created in AutoCAD Version 2002. Ownership of both hard copies and computer disk copies must be transferred to the Region upon completion of the project. Metric units are to be used with Imperial units in brackets if deemed necessary. 4 5. Submission of Proposals Four (4) copies of the proposal are to be submitted. The proposal should include items listed hereunder, but also include other considerations based on the Consultant's understanding of the project. The Consultant is also requested to propose a Work Plan, which addresses the tasks outlined in these Terms of Reference. The proposal is to be submitted to Mr. Peter Baker, P.

BACKGROUND: The Niagara Falls Girls Soccer Club has been working with the City toward the development of a Home for Girls Soccer on the Kalar Road Sports Park site for the past four years. The property has undergone two phases of development which has seen the development of two senior soccer pitches, one intermediate soccer pitch, internal roadway and parking areas and landscaping. The Grand Opening of the Home for Girls Soccer is scheduled for May 2004. The Niagara Falls Hydro has allowed for the utilization of a small portion of their property as part of the overall development. The City is also finalizing a third agreement with the Catholic and Public School Boards for the formal use of the two intermediate and one senior soccer pitch on the adjacent property to the south, which have been in use for the past two seasons. Attached to this report is a Master Plan (Schedule "A ") which highlights City owned land, School Board lands and Niagara Falls hydro property. The Use Agreement with Girls Soccer sets out the responsibilities of the City and the Girls Soccer Club for the use of the City land and recognizes the 50% financial contribution for the overall development by the Girls Soccer Club. Other areas addressed in the Use Agreement include occupancy of the property, the City's obligation to maintain the park and insurance. The Use Agreement has been reviewed and signed by Girls Soccer and they have no objections to its approval by City Council. Working Together to Serve Our Community Municipal Works • Fire Services • Parks, Recreation & Culture • Business Development • Building & By -Law Services November 17, 2003 - 2 - R- 2003 -75 The Girls Soccer Club has made application and received approval for funding under the Provincial Trillium Awards Grant Program One of the requirements of the funding is an approved Use Agreement with the City. The final approval of the Use Agreement will enable Girls Soccer to receive the approved funding from Trillium and the money will become part of their contribution toward the development. Through this report, staff is also requesting approval for the use of a portion of Niagara Falls Hydro property. Hydro has signed the Use Agreement and both agreements are noted in the Conformatory By -law. In conclusion, it is hoped that Council will approve the Use Agreements.
