and provided the following information.
Planning Analysis
Official Plan
Majority of the property is designated Residential
Hunter Drain watercourse is designated Environmental Protection Area (EPA)
Mix of dwelling types, lots sizes and densities is promoted by the Official Plan.
Subdivision proposed a community design concept with various residential dwelling types,
parkland natural areas.
Single detached lots and environmental areas are located at the boundaries of the plan
abutting existing single- detached uses.
Townhouses apartments located along collector /arterial roads or with direct access to
collector system with proximity to open space areas.
Development will be compatible with the existing and future surrounding uses.
Proposal is consistent with Provincial Policy Statement.
OP indicates the overall net density of residential is 25 un /ha (10.1 un /ac)
Development will have overall net density of 25.9 un /ha (10.5 un /ac)
OP permits on- street block townhouses to a max. net density of 50 un /ha. (20.2 un /ac)
Development had net density of townhouse portion at 34.3 un /ha (13.8 un /ac).
Housing Mix Targets
4- March 20, 2006
Typically, target housing mix of 70% single /semi detached units 30% multiple residential
units.
This subdivision provides 67.6% single /semi detached and 32.4% on- street and block
townhouses.
Servicing
There are separate sanitary and storm sewer systems in the area, however, stormwater
discharges into the sanitary sewer system have historically resulted in basement flooding.
The City is initiating capital works projects to identify problems and the needed system
improvements.
There is existing capacity in the system to accommodate an estimated 129 additional
residential units.
Staff recommend a condition to phase the subdivision in accordance with servicing
capacity.
Subdivision Design
Draft Plan of Subdivision in 1996 for 216 units.
Overall net density of this 1s phase is 25.7 un /ha.
Applicant wishes to combine all the land into one subdivision plan.
The required public meeting on the subdivision was June 27, 2005.
Subdivision proposes a mix of dwelling types and lot sizes.
Road pattern and lotting represents an efficient use of urban residential land.
Standard lot depth of 33 m. (108.3 ft) is similar to recent plans approved in the City.
Rear yards of single- detached lots abut the rear of detached lots on Lyon's Pkwy.
Size of some on- street townhouse blocks are to be reduced to permit a max. 6 un /block.
Block in northwest is required for emergency access for this plan secondary access to
the Lyon's Pkwy Cul -de -sac.
Valley land will be dedicated to the City with intention of establishing a recreational trail
in the area.
Cemetery land is to be buffered with the addition of the abutting land.
Park and stormwater area create a large, central open space feature.
Traffic impact study and traffic calming techniques are required.
Fencing and sidewalks are required in accordance with standard municipal practice
Zoning Amendment
R3 zone provides development standards for single- detached and semi detached lots
and on- street townhouse blocks.
5- March 20, 2006
Staff recommends that the requested R4 zone standards applicable to the block include
a minimum amenity area of 24.6 ft at the rear of each townhouse unit.
Park block, stormwater management area and small blocks at the entrances to the plan
will be zoned Open Space (OS)
Development Holding (DH) zone is a suitable interim category for the land southeast of
the plan along Sodom Rd.
The proposed revised zoning standards apply "new urbanism" principles to create a
walkable community with homes closer to the street and garages set back.
Lot area and lot frontage requirements are being increased for single- detached dwellings
compared to the existing R3 zone.
Conclusion
Chippawa West Phase 11 Draft Plan of Subdivision is an appropriate development of the
site.
The design applies contemporary planning principles;
The application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and complies with the
policies of the Official Plan;
The recommended Zoning By -law amendment will provide suitable regulations for the
construction of the dwellings and also to protect the watercourse.

Compliance Audit
REPORTS
1. Chief Administrative Officer CD- 2006 -04, Consideration of Compliance Audit
Larry Savage indicated that this was not a personal vendetta against Mr. Thomson
but rather he was filing on behalf of the Niagara Falls Citizens for Democracy and they
would have pursued any candidate they felt engaged in illegal campaign activity. Mr.
Savage pointed out that the municipality would have saved most of the expenses incurred
if they would have granted the compliance audit request at the outset. Mr. Savage
requested that Council forward this matter to the Provincial Crowns office for prosecution.
Don DeLorenzo, representing Wayne Thomson, reviewed some of the findings of
the Compliance audit. He stated that a number of the accusations made were nothing but
accusations and the audit showed no truth to them. He requested that Council receive the
compliance audit without taking any further legal action.
ORDERED on the motion of Alderman loannoni, seconded by Alderman
Morocco that Council direct the City Solicitor to forward the Auditor's Report and Findings
to the Provincial Crown to make a determination as to whether there is sufficient evidence
to support pursuing a prosecution under the Municipal Elections Act and to pursue a
prosecution if the evidence warrants it.
