This urban boundary expansion includes portions of land owned by Hydro One Networks and the Greek Canadian Communitysociation of Niagara and will reflect the boundary of the lands under the control of the ;r a` a Escarpment Commission. 4310 Queen Street, PO. Box 1023, Niagara Falls, ON, Canada L2E 6X5 905 -356 -7521 www.niagarafails.ca Working Together to Serve Our Community Corporate Services Department Planning Development April 2, 2007 2 PD-2007-19 1251600 Ontario Limited has also requested amendments to the City's Official Plan and Zoning By -law No. 79 -200 for approximately 5.1 hectares (12.7 acres) of a 19.2 hectare (47.39 acre) parcel of land located northwest of the Portage Road and Stanley Avenue intersection, shown as Parts 1, 2 and 3 on Schedules 1 and 2. The amendments are requested to permit a residential development of approximately 275 units and a prestige industrial development on the land. Part 1 is intended to be developed with two 10- storey apartment dwellings containing about 240 units and about 24 townhouse dwelling units. Part 2 is intended to be developed with about 12 townhouse dwelling units. Part 3 is intended to be developed with a prestige industrial plaza. A 9 -hole golf course is also proposed to be developed on the balance of the applicant's lands to the north of the subject lands under a Niagara Escarpment Commission development permit and is not part of this application. The subject land is designated Niagara Escarpment Plan, in part, Industrial, in part and Open Space, in part, by the Official Plan. The subject land is proposed to be redesignated Residential, in part and Industrial, in part, to permit the proposed residential and industrial developments. Concurrently, zoning changes are being sought to reflect the proposed Official Plan change. A site specific Residential Apartment 5D Density (R5D) zone is proposed to be applied to Part 1, a site specific Residential Low Density, Grouped Multiple Dwellings (R4) zone is proposed to be placed on Part 2 and the Prestige Industrial (PI) zone is proposed to be placed on Part 3. Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses An active mineral aggregate mining pit licence applies to the subject land and the majority of the land is or has been used for this purpose. Most of the area where the dwellings are proposed to be located appears to be outside of the mining excavation and is partially treed vacant land. An industrial building exists around the location of the proposed prestige industrial building off of Stanley Avenue. Lands to the northwest of the subject lands are also used for aggregate mining. Industrial operations lie to the north of the subject lands. An active railway line and the Eagle Valley Golf Course lie to the west. Lands to the south are occupied by the Greek Canadian Community Association of Canada hall and by a hydro corridor, which further separates the subject land from industrial uses further south. Lands to the west are used for low density residential purposes. Circulation Comments: Regional Municipality of Niagara A related Regional Policy Plan Amendment to expand the urban area is currently being processed by the Region. No decision has been made to date, however, the Province does not object to this minor urban boundary adjustment and residential uses could be compatibly integrated into this area. The proposal complies with aspects of the Province's Growth Plan that encourages compact forms of development and optimal use of existing infrastructure. Airborne dust and noise studies indicate that the development of residential uses is generally acceptable subject to the rehabilitation of the adjacent pits and implementation of recommended mitigation measures. Further study is required at later planning stages. April 2, 2007 3 PD- 2007 -19 CN Rail Geotechnical analysis should be undertaken at the plan of condominium or subdivision or site plan stages to ensure the soil can support proposed development. Environmental site assessments indicate the land meets provincial guidelines for residential use. A Record of Site Condition is required prior to issuance of a building permit. The OPA and amending by -law should use a hold symbol to ensure the above noted matters are dealt with. Niagara Escarpment Commission (NEC) The urban boundary adjustment is intended to reconcile the urban boundary with the NEC control boundary. As the proposed urban boundary corresponds with the NEC control line, there are no objections to the application. The proposed stormwater management plan involves the use of lands under NEC control. This will require a development permit which is not guaranteed to be approved by the NEC. The development should be subject to a hold symbol until a stormwater management plan is approved by affected agencies. Municipal Works No objections. Servicing and site grading matters will be addressed at subsequent stages of the planning process. Fire Services No objections. Fire safety concerns will be addressed in subsequent stages of the planning process. Parks, Recreation and Culture Parkland requirements, street tree planting and on -site landscaping will need to be addressed in subsequent stages of the planning process. Residential development adjacent to the railway right -of -way is to conform to the CN Principal Rail Line requirements, which include a 30 -metre setback from the railway right of -way, development of berms and fences, mitigation of noise and appropriate warning clauses for purchases of dwelling units. Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority The subject land is highly permeable and measures will need to be taken to ensure contaminants do not infiltrate into the groundwater. Details of stormwater management are to be provided at subsequent stages of development. April 2, 2007 4 PD- 2007.19 Cytec Canada Inc. A right -of -way in favour of Cytec crosses the subject land and provides access to Cytec's lands located to the northwest of the subject land. This access is periodically used by heavy equipment. Council should consider deferral of the rezoning until this right -of -way is recognized Surrounding Residents A letter has been received from a resident who prefers to see the golf course developed as a park. Planning Analysis. 1. Expansion of the Urban Boundary (Regional File No. 7 -2005) Concurrent with the subject application, the Region is processing a Regional Policy Plan Amendment to expand the Urban Boundary as shown on Schedule 1. The Region has not yet made a decision on this application and has requested comments from the City. Although urban expansions are typically required to be initiated by municipalities when needed for future growth, the Province has been considering minor expansions on a site by site basis, where there are extenuating circumstances. With the subject application, a discrepancy in the urban boundaries defined by the City, the Region and the Niagara Escarpment Commission is being reconciled. The number of housing units generated is relatively minor and should not interfere with development occurring within the existing urban boundary. To ensure the urban boundary is expanded in a logical progression, a small portion of the lands owned by Hydro One Networks and by the Greek Canadian Community Association of Niagara is required to be included in the urban expansion. These lands are currently designated Niagara Escarpment Plan Area and Open Space. As these lands are not part of the applicant's lands, no change in designation is being considered at this time. 2. Conformity to the Official Plan Applications to amend the Official Plan are evaluated on a set of criteria to ensure the requested changes are appropriate. The application conforms to these criteria as follows: (a) Conformity of the Proposal to the General Objectives of the Residential Policies Residential areas that are located on arterial roads in close proximity to open space are permitted to be developed with a variety of housing at densities up to 75 units per hectare (30 units per acre) and building heights generally up to six stories. The residential component of the development will have a density of around 73 units per hectare. The applicant's planner notes that this density does not conflict with surrounding development. The applicant's planner also notes that the mix of apartment and townhouse residential will contribute to the variety of housing available to residents. Planning staff agrees with these arguments. April 2, 2007 5 PD- 2007.19 The Official Plan limits building heights to ensure any adjacent low -rise residential areas are not adversely impacted by shadowing or loss of privacy. The large size of the property affords flexibility in siting the apartment dwellings in a way that minimizes impacts on other dwellings. The proposed apartment dwellings are set back significantly from other nearby existing dwellings (about 100 metres or 330 feet from the nearest dwelling). Additionally, as Council and the Ontario Municipal Board have supported a 10- storey apartment dwelling on the nearby Eagle Valley Golf Course, no new precedents will be set by this development. However, Planning staff recommends the apartment dwelling be moved to the north side of Part 1 (as shown on Schedule 1) and the townhouses be moved to the south side of Part 1 for the following reasons: the proposed townhouses would not have any shadowing impacts from the apartment dwellings; any impacts on existing dwellings will be further mitigated by an increased setback from the apartment dwellings; and an attractive tiered urban design will be created as viewed from Portage Road, with the townhouses stepping up to the apartment dwellings. (b) Suitability of the Site for the Proposed Designation and Compatibility of the Proposed Use with Adjacent Land Use Designations and Natural Resources The applicant's planner has provided an extensive analysis on the compatibility of this use with adjacent land uses, including an analysis of the impact of airborne particulate and noise. The proposed residences are set back about 175 metres (575 feet) from the nearest industrially designated property to the north. Except for the mining pits, the nearest industrial use is about 250 metres (820 feet). to the south. The applicant is proposing to use fencing, landscaping and noise attenuation to buffer the use from these industrial uses. While Planning staff is generally satisfied with these setbacks and measures, the Region and the Ministry of the Environment note that the dust generated from the nearby pits will impact on the future residential uses. Therefore, a hold symbol should be implemented in the amending zoning by -law until the pit uses terminate and the pits are rehabilitated to the satisfaction of the Region and the Ministry of Natural Resources. The proposed dwellings are compatible with the nearby Eagle Valley Golf Course and the proposed golf course on the applicant's lands. Compatibility with the adjacent rail line is a concern. A townhouse dwelling is about 15 metres (50 feet) from the nearest rail line, whereas a 30 metre (100 feet) setback is normally required. Further changes to the site design will likely be required. The hold symbol should also be used to ensure the implementation of mitigation measures to the satisfaction of CN Rail prior to development. The provision of geotechnical studies and detailed grading plans in later planning stages will ensure the soil can support the proposed buildings. A Record of Site Condition will be required to ensure there are no contaminants on the property. April 2, 2007 6 PD- 2007.19 (c) The need for the proposed use and the extent existing areas of the City designated for the proposed use are available for development. The applicant's planner notes that while the housing inventory in the City may exceed Provincial requirements, there is little land available in the northern portion of the City for new multiple residential development. The applicant's planner also notes that the proposed development is unique in the City in that it mixes residential, open space and employment (prestige industrial) uses. This is in keeping with Provincial policy. Planning staff notes that while there is sufficient land designated in the City to meet current housing demands, there are no objections to providing additional housing choices in the north end of the City. (d) The Availability of Municipal Services and Facilities for the Proposed Use and Its Impact on the Transportation System, Community Facilities and the Natural Environment A traffic study and servicing analysis were submitted with the application. The servicing analysis notes that there are sufficient water and sanitary sewer services available in the area to service the development, a position supported by City Municipal Works staff. The applicant plans to provide stormwater management on the proposed golf course lands under the control of the Niagara Escarpment Commission (NEC). As this is subject to an NEC permit and approval is not guaranteed, it is recommended the above noted hold symbol address the provision of stormwater management, either on site or through an alternative means. The traffic study indicates there is sufficient capacity in the surrounding road network to accommodate the development. The study recommends a left turn lane be constructed on Stanley Avenue northbound into the development, an eastbound right tum taper be provided off of Portage Road into the development and the Mountain Road /Portage Road intersection be converted to an all -way stop. The applicant has an agreement in principle to construct a more visible entrance through Hydro One Network lands to provide access to the development from Portage Road. The Region has jurisdiction over Stanley Avenue and Portage Road in this area. Regional staff concurs with the above road works, however, an additional left turn lane into the development, off east bound Portage Road, is required. These off -site works are to be provided at the expense of the owner through the planning process. The hold provisions in the amending by -law should also remain in place until there is a formal agreement between the applicant and Hydro One Networks to provide the above noted access. There are no water courses or significant woodlots on the lands although there are scattered trees, particularly along the southerly boundary. Retention of trees, where possible, is encouraged to provide amenity to residents and should be looked at further in later stages of the planning process. April 2, 2007 7 PD- 2007 -19 (e) Financial implication of the proposed development The applicant's planner indicates that the higher end housing proposed on the land will have a positive impact on the residential tax base. 3. The requested zoning is appropriate. The applicant has requested a site specific R5D zone be applied to Part 1 (as shown on Schedules 1 and 2). Planning staff supports the requested reduction in rear yard setback from 10 metres (33 feet) to 6 metres (19.7 feet) to accommodate the townhouses backing onto the proposed golf course. This reduction in amenity space is compensated by the amenity space on the golf course. The amending by -law will also need to recognize site specifically a maximum number of buildings in the R5D zone (two apartment dwellings and four townhouse blocks). The applicant has requested a site specific building height increase from 22 metres (72 feet) to 37 metres (121 feet) to accommodate the proposed 10- storey apartment dwellings. For the reasons stated earlier in this report, these buildings should be limited to the northern side of. Part 1, as shown on Schedules 1 and 2. To further ensure the mitigation of impacts on townhouses, the apartment dwellings should be set back one half of their building heights to the nearest townhouse dwellings. Similar to the townhouses in Part 1, the townhouses falling under the site specific R4 zone in Part 2 are proposed to have reduced rear yards (from 7.5 metres or 24.6 feet to 6 metres or 19.7 feet). The amenity area on the adjacent golf course, as well as ample on site landscaping, will make up for the reduction in amenity space. Two additional site specific modifications are also necessary to recognize the unique configuration of Part 2 and the townhouse blocks on it. These include a minor reduction in the exterior side yard setback from 4.5 metres (15 feet) to 3.8 metres (12.5 feet). As the townhouse blocks are angled 90 degrees from one another, a reduction in the minimum distance between townhouse blocks on the same lot, from 15 metres (50 feet) to 6.5 metres (21 feet), is requested to recognize this unique configuration. Given its frontage on a major gateway into the City (Stanley Avenue) and its proximity to a new residential development, it is appropriate to rezone Part 3 as Prestige Industrial (P1). No site specific standards or additional uses are sought for this block. As discussed in detail earlier in the report, the amending by -law will contain a hold symbol that can be lifted once the following matters are dealt with: The aggregate mining pits on the subject land and adjacent lands are closed and rehabilitated to the satisfaction of the Region and the Ministry of Natural Resources. Adequate stormwater management facilities are provided, to the satisfaction of the City and other applicable agencies. Adequate noise mitigation measures are provided along the rail line to the satisfaction of the City, the Region and CN Rail. An agreement is executed between the applicant and Hydro One Networks securing a driveway from Montrose Road to the satisfaction of the Region and the City. April 2, 2007 8 PD- 2007 -19 Given Cytec's concerns about their rights to cross the subject land, passage of the amending by -law should not occur until the two properties have settled their concerns. A proper location of this right -of -way should be provided as it may be inappropriate to have heavy construction equipment accessing Cytec's property through the residential development. CONCLUSION: 1. The requested amendment to the Official Plan to redesignate the lands to Residential and Industrial can be supported for the following reasons: The adjustment in the urban boundary is minor in nature and will reconcile the urban boundary with the Niagara Escarpment Commission control boundary. The proposed residential uses are generally in conformity with the Official Plan criteria for considering land use changes, will be compatible with adjacent open spaces and will, when the mining pits are removed, be sufficiently set back from nearby industrial uses. The prestige industrial development will enhance a gateway into the City and will be more compatible with nearby residential uses. 2. It is recommended that Council endorse the Region Policy Plan Amendment to expand the City's Urban boundary as shown on Schedule 1 to facilitate the recommended approval. 3. It is recommended the apartment dwellings be relocated northward or reduced in height to ensure compatibility with existing and proposed low rise residential development. 4. The site specific zoning will implement the hold provisions set out in the Official Plan amendment and will have provisions recognizing the unique nature of the development. 5. Passage of the amending by -law can occur once Cytec Canada's concerns about a right of -way are addressed.

Building Lives. The Regional Municipality of Niagara 3550 Schmon Parkway, P.O. Box 1042 Thorold, Ontario L2V 4T7 Telephone: 905 -984 -3630 Fax: 905 -641 -5208 E -mail: plan@regional.niagara.on.ca RECEIVED APR 05 2C5 PLANNING DEVELOPMENT The above application proposes an amendment to the Niagara Falls Official Plan to permit the development of lands located to the northwest of the Portage Road Stanley Avenue intersection for two 10- storey condominium apartment buildings (240 units) and 44 townhouse units. The applicant also owns abutting lands to the north that are to be developed in the future for an executive length 9 -hole golf course but are not part of this application. The proposed amendment would redesignate the affected area from "Niagara Escarpment Plan Area" and "Industrial" to "Residential" and would adjust the Urban Area Boundary. Part of the subject lands are shown by the Regional Policy Plan as being outside the Regional Urban Areas Boundaries and in a "Good Tender Fruit Area As a result, the applicant has also filed an application to amend the Regional Policy Plan (Amendment No. 7 -2005) to expand the Regional Urban Boundaries. The Region has begun a review of this proposal which will focus on Regional and Provincial interests. These interests are generally outlined in Policy 5.6 of the Regional Plan and in several policies of the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement. Regional Report DPD 19 -2006 (copy attached) provides more details on the specific policies. The City's input on the proposed Urban Area Boundary expansion in conjunction with local Interests related to neighbourhood and land use issues is important. Residential uses may be appropriate for this location. However, this application proposes higher density residential development at the edge of the urban area where there are relatively few community and local commercial facilities. Could the relative lack of community and convenience commercial facilities be a detriment or could this proposal act as a catalyst to encourage the provision of additional facilities? The lands to the south along Portage Road are designated "Open Space Is this designation appropriate considering the proposed development? Does the City have suggestions or recommendations for appropriate forms of development on these frontage lands? A mixture of industrial and residential development has occurred along Stanley Avenue In the north end of the City. Although the abutting lands to the east fronting on Stanley Avenue are not part of the amendment application, is their development for industrial purposes (the proposed prestige industrial building) appropriate if the subject lands are to be developed as a higher density residential project? Should conditions be applied to development proposals on the respective industrial and residential areas to minimize potential land use conflicts? Perhaps the industrial designation on the abutting Stanley Avenue frontage should be reconsidered. The abutting lands to the north, in particular the Allan Halfway Sand Pit, may continue as an operating sand pit for some time. Under such circumstances, the pit operation and associated truck traffic could result in conflicts with the proposed residential development. In this regard, Ministry of the Environment staff, after reviewing the Dust Survey by S. Lamming Associates, have expressed concerns about the compatibility of the sand pit and other adjacent industrial uses with the proposed residential development. A copy of the Ministry's initial letter is attached. Should the residential development be held in abeyance until the sand pit ceases and rehabilitation to a golf course commences? Regional Public Works staff are also reviewing this application and their comments on servicing and traffic matters will be available at a later date. In conclusion, Regional Planning staff would appreciate the City's comments on the land use questions raised above as well as input on Regional and Provincial interests and on other local issues that the City might identify. As our own review has not been completed, we are unable to offer a Regional position on this application at this time. Yours truly, /''David J.

Badmround This application is related to other planning applications previously submitted to amend the Regional Policy Plan and the Niagara Falb Official Plan to allow an urban area expansion which will accommodate this residential development A decision on these policy amendments has not been made to date. Regional Planning staff previously provided comments to the City through a Background Report (DPD 16 -2006) on the Regional Policy Plan Amendment and a letter, dated March 30, 2006, on the City's Official Plan Amendment. The following Provinclai and Regional comments on the recent Zoning By Amendment application are provided for your consideration, with a particular focus on the technical studies submitted to support this development. Provincial Gmwfh Plan The Regional Municipality of Niagara 3550 Schmon Paricway, P.O. Box 1042 Thorold, Ontario L2V 417 Telephone: 905. 984-3630 Fax: 905-641-5208 E- mail: planOregional.niagara.on.ca File: D.10.M.11.23 RECEIVED DEC 13 2006 PLANNING DEVELOPMENT The Provincial Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe came into effect on July 16, 2006 and sets out the Provincal vision for managing growth. The Growth Plan does not affect the misted Regional and local oMidal plan amendment applications previously mentioned as they were submitted prior to the effective date of the Growth Plan, however, the Plan does apply to the proposed rezoning application. Aside from the residential component for townhouses and apartment buildings, the proposed development also incorporates a prestige industrial building and a new golf course. This meets several broad policy objectives of the Growth Plan that encourage compact forms of development, transit- supportive densities, mixed land uses and the optimal use of existing lure. The City should be satisfied that the form of this development is appropriate guiding Community. Building Lives. Ste maaater Manaosment 2 based on more detailed local land use policies and regulations. The Growth Plan also contains policy objectives on, among other matters, the protection of valuable resources including mineral aggregates. This would be associated with existing operations adjacent to the subject property AAsnt Mineral Aaanaafe Pit The applicants are proposing a golf course on abutting lands currently used as a sand pit operation. The Ministry of Natural Resources has advised that the licence for this mineral aggregate pit is still active. In order for residential development to occur on the adjacent lands, the pit will have to be rehabilitated to the satisfaction of the Ministry and the licence surrendered. The Ministry also noted that the site plan, on file for rehabilitating the property, does not specifically provide fora golf course, although it does indicate that an agricultural or recreational land UM is intended. The app cants should contact the Ministry directly to discuss the status of this site plan and any amendments that may be necessary prior to initiating rehabilitation plans for a golf course. A portion of the pit area appears to exist at the west side of the property where a townhouse block (Block 1) is proposed. This may require a geotechnical report to determine ground stability for buildings planned in this area. At this time no ground elevations are provided on the overall plan submitted as part of the rezoning application. This matter should be considered through more detailed planning approvals required for a draft plan of subdivision /condominium or site plan agreement. Air Quakty and Noise Impacts An Ambient Dust Study was prepared by Stephen Lamming Associates Ltd. which addressed potential impacts from adjacent mineral aggregate pit operations. The Allen Pit to the north would appear to be the only pit operation remaining once the residential development proceeds. This operation is approximately 525 metres from the proposed residential project. The consultant has submitted additional information to address earlier comments received from the Ministry of the Emnronment (MOE). Based on current conclusions, there should not be any adverse effects from alt bome dust, however, additional testing may be necessary prior to final approval of development plans. An Environmental Noise Analysis was prepared by Valcoustics Canada Inc. to address potential impacts from nolse sources including the abutting CN pnnclpal rail line, industrial uses and Regional roads. Railway noise will have the greatest impact and will require mitigation measures. Recommendations include the construction of a 2.7metre high noise barrier on part of the west side of the property, the inclusion of certain building features and the registration of warning clauses. The consultant's assessment of potential noise impacts and recommendations are generaNy satisfactory in terms of meeting MOE noise guidelines, however, additional information will be required to be submitted on detailed calculations for the samples identified in the report. This can be resolved when final plans are submitted for approval. Comments and requirements of CN Rai should also be obtained and regarded. A Storm water Management Strategy, prepared by Urban Environmental Management Inc., was submitted for the proposed development and reviewed on our behalf by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA). The intent is for stonnwater runoff to be retained on- Traffic Imoads 3 site to provide irrigation for the golf course development. This is desirable and meets the NPCA's stornwater management criteria, however, the golf course may not be the first phase of development. Further, these lands are in the Niagara Escarpment Plan area where construction will require a Development Permit. In this regard, temporary ponds for stormwater treatment may have to be constructed on the residential lands if they are not initially provided on the future golf course site. The NPCA has pointed out that this area Is highly susceptible to groundwater contamination and that any stormwater directly planned for ground infiltration will have to be uncontaminated and pre- treated. Infiltration rates will need to be confirmed and provisions for spill containment will need to be included into the stomrwater management system to prevent oil, gasoline or other industrial contaminants from entering the groundwater. Detailed plans for stomiwater management, lot grading, storm servicing and sediment and erosion control should be submitted prior to final approval of development plans. Failtileilliftfthatinamegi A Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), prepared by AGRA Earth Environmental Ltd., and dated November 1997, was submitted by the proponents. The report summarizes the history of the site and mentions that at one time the property was owned by a waste hauling company known as Woodington Systems. An earlier examination of the property (1991) determined that there were some contaminated soils which were subsequently removed and disposed of off site. Northwest of the property is a closed waste disposal site owned by Cytec Canada Inc. (formerly Cyanamid). The consultant advises that this is hydrologically down gradient from the subject lands and should not have any adverse effects. The Phase I ESA provides the results of additional soil and water samples taken to determine site conditions as of 1997. Test results confirmed that the soil samples met MOE guidelines for residential/parkland land use and that water samples met Ontario Drinking Water Objectives. As a result, conclusions of the Phase I ESA state that the potential for contamination is low. There are also recommendations to dispose of drums and materials stored in buildings on the property and further investigation of a well pipe. No further information has been provided to conclude that these matters were addressed. Since this time new legislation under Ontario Regulation 153/04 has been approved by the Province (October 2004). It is now mandatory to file a Record of Site Condition in the Ministry's Brow/fields Environmental Site Registry for a change in use from industrial to residential use Pnttr to this issuance of a bunting psnnit This should be filed and acknowledged prior to final approval of development plans. A Traffic Impact Analysis, prepared by Matrix Innovations Inc., was previously submitted to the Regional Public Works Department for review. This was reviewed by the Region's consultant (Deloan Corporation) for the Environmental Assessment being undertaken for Regional Road 101 (Mountain Rd. /Portage Rd.). A left -tum lane is required for the entrance on Regional Road 101 (Portage Rd.), between the railway bridge and Regional Road 102 (Stanley Ave.). Detailed drawings of this lane with the proposed entrance are required to be submitted to the Regional Public Works Department for review and approval. Further, a Regional Construction Encroachment and/or Entrance Permit must be obtained prior to any work taking place. In addition, we understand that the proposed entrance also requires an agreement with Cytec Canada Inc. to maintain access to its property to the north. Based on the above preliminary review of the supporting reports submitted and from a general land use perspective, residential uses may be compatibly integrated into this area subject to some additional technical information and provided that recommendations are implemented. However, residential development should not proceed until the license for the Hawkswell Pit is relinquished and the rehabilitation plan is implemented to the satisfaction of the Ministry of Natural Resources. This should be referenced in the City's official plan and zoning by -law amendments with a 'Holding (H)' provision in the amending zoning by -law. It would also be desirable for the amendments to mention development matters to be addressed and implemented through further approvals for a draft plan of subdivision/condominium and/or *Replan rgnserimd. /his wouljl include the review and approval of a traffic impact report, air quality and noise impact studies, a stormwater management plan and a record of site condition to address Provincial and Regional interests.

It is understood that the purpose of this amendment is to expand the Niagara Falls urban boundary area by approximately 4.31ha, in the vicinity of Portage Road and Stanley Avenue in order to enable the lands to then be developed for residential use. The input that we wish to provide to the Region, to enable your fulsome consideration of the amendment, is with respect to the land use compatibility issue which should be considered given the subject land's proximity to an operation extractive industry. Accordingly, we have reviewed the Results of Ambient Dust Survey at Stanley Road and Portage Ave, prepared by Stephen Lamming Associates Ltd., dated May 2004 for UEM Inc., who is acting as agents for the property owner. Our review of the Lamming report yields the following comment with with regards to air quality impacts by the neighbouring Hawkswell sand pit the proposed residential development that the urban boundary expansion will enable: The report refers to the sand pit as "now defunct However, as of March 2006, this pit is still very active. There are at least two and possibly three numbered companies with access to this pit. It is not clear if all pit activity will cease once the site rehabilitation (golf course) takes place or if portions of the pit will remain in operation. The main pit seems to be referred most commonly as the "Allen pit" and a "DiPaolo pit" has been mentioned as well. This being the case, if the residential development is allowed to proceed, adverse impacts due to the pit operation may continue for any number of years. The report summarizes particulate sampling, mostly by high volume samplers, measuring total suspended particulate (TSP) during April 26 -29, 2004. There were three. samplers which ran for 24 hour periods on three consecutive days. Two of these samplers were adjacent to the proposed residential development, and the third was further away in the pit area as shown on the attached aerial photo. The aim of the monitoring was to assess dust impact of the sand pit. A small amount of real time data was measured with an aerosol meter during a 4 hour period downwind of the pit and did measure some elevated "spikes" but overall these readings were termed low. The size range of the particles measured is not given (PM10, Total Suspended Particulate making assessment of the reported values uncertain. The data spikes were attributed to dirt bike activity near the sampler. Wind data from Environment Canada's St. Catharines airport was utilized but is incomplete as there is no data measured in an 8 hour overnight period of about 2100 to 0500 hours. The data have also been misinterpreted as "always being from the north northeast In fact, the EC wind direction data is reported in lOs of degrees, so that a value of say 24 means 240 degrees, or southwest, not 24 northeast As such, winds were south and southwest on these three monitoring dates. I have attached the full wind data measured at MOE station 27011 Allanburg which is approximately 12 km southwest of the subject site. Wind direction frequency statistics are shown. The three sites yielded the following TSP values in micrograms per cubic metre: Apr 26 -27/04 Apr 27 -28/04 Apr 28 -29/04 23 19 63 44 63 117 This data set is too small to assess long term impacts of the sandpit. The daily ambient air quality criterion (AAQC) was exceeded on the third sampling date, during prolonged high wind speeds at two of the monitoring sites. The third sampler suffered loss of data on this date due to power loss, further hampering the assessment. The exceedances may or may not have been related to operations of the sandpit. General fugitive dust from open exposed areas may have contributed, suggested by the fact that station #1 was not downwind of the pit at all during the peak event Station #3 was downwind of the pit Consultation with Mr. Paul Widmeyer, Environmental Officer for the area, and a site visit by him indicated the area near the proposed development is currently Iaden with a high degree of heavy truck traffic serving the sand pits and other neighbouring industrial properties in the area such as concrete plants, lumber yards and other small industry. Road construction for a major tunnel project further exacerbates this factor. The lumber yard, just south of the proposed development has been the source of some sawdust emission complaints in an adjacent residential area due to fugitive sawdust emissions. There have been no dust complaints against the sandpit made to the Ministry. Mr.Widmeyer commented: 133 142 If I were looking at potential dust sources for the residential proposal (shown on your photo) I would look at Great-Lakes MSRLumber and fugitive dust from the pit to the west and certainly the extensive truck traffic entering the pits and the industrial area shown on your photo. I cannot over emphasize the amount of truck taut in this area. In summary, the "air monitoring survey was tbd;brief fo:make judgements on the long term impact of the Hawkswell sand pit. The measurements were also citified out at a non optimal time of year to assess fugitive dust emissions. Dry summer conditions would have been optimal, but the month of April 2004 was a wet one with above normal precipitation reported by Environment Canada for its St Catharines Power Glen site —134 mm versus a normal 70 -74 mm. A cursory assessment shows that the area is currently affected by a high level of heavy truck traffic. If this were to continue to any significant degree, the diesel emissions and dust re- entrainmentcaused by this traffic has the potential to be a concern to residents living adjacent in the new development, both from a nuisance and health perspective. The nearby lumber yard would likely have little direct impact as it lies in a direction (south/southeast) for which winds rarely blow from and almost never with high speeds to cause fugitive dust problems in the direction of the development.

BACKGROUND: Niagara 7 alls CANADA Dave Hall has requested an amendment to Zoning By -law No. 395, 1966 for a 2.98 hectare (7.4 acre) parcel of land known as 3516 Marshall Road, as shown on Schedule 1. A legal non conforming auto salvage facility with ancillary used car sales exists on the land. This facility has been in existence at this location for several decades. A Committee of Adjustment Decision (File No. A- 31/2005) permits the replacement of the existing 171.9 square metre (1,850 square foot) auto recycling facility office and garage with a new 445.9 square metre (4,800 square foot) building. The applicant is currently proceeding with a site plan application to start construction of this building. The applicant proposes to establish an independently run used car sales lot on the land in conjunction with the auto salvage facility. The applicant intends to have up to 10 automobiles on display or in stock at any given time. Refer to Schedule 2 for the details of the property. The land is currently zoned Rural. The Rural zoning is requested to be amended site specifically to permit a used car sales lot to be established on the land. Surrounding Land Uses The lands abutting the sub 4 t ®f`ds are used for agricultural purposes or are vacant and 4310 Queen Street, P.O. Box 1023, Niagara Fails, ON, Canada L2E 6X5 905- 356 -7521 www.niagarafalls.ca Working Together to Serve Our Community Corporate Services Department Planning Development April 2, 2007 2 PD- 2007 -21 mostly forested. There are rural residential dwellings further to the north on Willoughby Drive and further to the east on Marshall Road. Circulation Comments Regional Municipality of Niagara Provincial and Regional policies generally do not permit new non- agricultural uses in the Good General Agricultural area. However, the Regional Policy Plan permits an expansion of a legal non conforming use that does not involve a major intensification of the land use or result in the intrusion of new incompatible uses. Municipal Works Parks, Recreation and Culture No objections. Regional Public Health Planning Analysis As the sale of vehicles has occurred in the past in conjunction with the auto recycling operation, the Region does not object to an independent sales operation from being established, provided the use is limited in scale and the lot is not severed to accommodate the new use. No municipal services concerns with the property. Road widenings of 1.52 metres (5 feet) in width are required along the length of the Marshall Road and Willoughby Drive frontages. In addition, a 15_ metre by 15 metre (50 foot by 50 foot) daylight triangle is required on the southwest corner of Marshall Road and Willoughby Drive. In addition, driveway entrances are not to exceed 12 metres (40 feet) in width. No objections, provided the applicant obtains a permit for the construction of a sewage disposal system to accommodate waste from the proposed building. Adding a new commercial use in the Good General Agricultural area is not supported by the Official Plan unless it is directly related to agricultural uses. However, the proposed used car sales lot would not involve the physical expansion of the existing commercial uses and does April 2, 2007 3 PD- 2007 -21 not appear to impact surrounding uses. On this basis, the used car sales lot could be considered under the temporary use policies of the Official Plan. The following is a summary of Planning staffs analysis of the application: 1. The proposal complies with the intent of the Official Plan respecting temporary uses. The subject land is designated Good General Agriculture in the Official Plan. Good General Agriculture lands are to be used for farming and agricultural uses, forestry and conservation. Small -scale commercial and industrial uses may only be considered where they are directly related to the agricultural area they serve. Home industries that are secondary to an agricultural or residential use may also be permitted. The proposed used car sales lot cannot be considered home industry and is not a use that would exclusively serve local agricultural uses and therefore is not a use permitted by the Official Plan for the Good General Agriculture area. However, the Official Plan allows uses which do not conform to the land use designation to be considered on a temporary basis subject to a series of conditions. The proposal meets these conditions as follows: The use does not entail any major construction or investment. Vehicle sales are already permitted on the property if they are conducted by the salvage facility operator. The requested change will permit these sales to be done by a third party. The parking area where the cars will be displayed and stored already exists. The sales office will occupy a small portion of the building being constructed for the salvage facility. No new construction or expansion of the parking and vehicle storage areas will result from the used car sales lot. The used car sales lot would not be incompatible with adjacent lands. The auto salvage yard has existed here for a considerable period of time and a degree of harmony has developed with adjacent lands. This facility is not likely to relocate in the foreseeable future. The adjacent lands are either used for agriculture or are vacant and are buffered by a landscape strip and trees along Marshall Road and Willoughby Drive and by berming. Provided the used car sales lot is limited in size to what is proposed (about 10 cars at any given time), incompatibility with surrounding lands should not increase. To further protect surrounding lands, signage should be limited to one wall sign only and the amending temporary use by -law should require the landscape strip proposed between the parking lot and Marshall Road. The use will not impact on the future use of the land and surrounding lands. The used car sales lot is readily removed upon cessation without any changes to the site works. No impacts on the future development of the land and surrounding properties are anticipated. The use will not impact on traffic circulation or parking. Marshall Road and Willoughby Drive are designated as collector roads that are expected to carry the moderate levels of traffic a small used car sales lot would generate. As well, provided the used car sales lot is limited in size, the automobiles can be displayed and stored within the existing parking area along Marshall Road. April 2, 2007 4 PD- 2007 -21 CONCLUSION: Recommended by: Respectfully submitted: Attach. A.Br The use will not impact on servicing. As no parking area or building is being expanded to serve the use, additional impacts on servicing are not expected. The use shall be limited in duration. To ensure the commercial use of this property is not further entrenched and to assist in keeping the new use at a scale compatible with surrounding uses, it is recommended the used car sales lot be permitted only through a temporary use by -law not exceeding three years. As there are no new site works or buildings associated with this use, it can be easily removed at the cessation of the temporary use by -law. 2. Permitting the use through a temporary use by -law is appropriate. The proposed temporary use by -law would site specifically add a used car sales lot to the Rural zoning of the property for a three -year period. To ensure the above noted matters are addressed and the use is compatible with surrounding uses, it is recommended the temporary use by -law contain the following measures: restrict maximum area for the display and storage of vehicles for sale to 200 square metres (2,150 square feet) in the front yard; prohibit the servicing of vehicles for sale on the site; require a 3 metre (10 foot) wide landscape strip between the parking lot and Marshall Road, except for driveways, as shown on Schedule 2; and permit one (1) wall sign only for the used car sales lot, and prohibit any ground signs, portable signs, flags and streamers for the use. At the end of the three -year period, Council can consider extending the use should the applicant wish to continue the operation in this location. 1. The requested used car sales lot complies with the Official Plan with respect to temporary uses and therefore can be permitted for a maximum of three years. 2. The amending by -law will contain regulations to limit the size of the use and regulated related signage, as well as requiring landscaping along Marshall Road, to ensure the use is compatible with surrounding uses.

The following Provincial and Regional planning comments are provided for your consideration. The property is located outside of the Region's Urban Area Boundary for Niagara Falls and designated as a Good General Agricultural Ai according to the Regional Policy Plan. In addition, Provincial policies consider this to be a prime agricultural area. Provincial, and Regional policies promote the protection of agricultural land and do not permit new non- agricultural uses. However, in this instance the subject lands are being used as an auto recycling facility. Policy 12.6 of the Regional Policy Plan permits a change of use for an activity that has been legally established in the Agricultural area provided that: "...Urban Area Boundaries are not superseded; the expansion does not involve a major intensification of land use; or result in the intrusion of new incompatible uses; and subject to the following: 1) the need and desirability of the operation; 2) regard for environmental, agricultural, and other policies of this Plan; 3) compatibility with existing surrounding uses; 4) access and servicing requirements being met; and 5) no addiVonal municipal services being required" It is our understanding that the sale of vehicles has occurred in the past in conjunction with the existing legal non conforming recycling operation and that the current proposal will allow an independent business to operate used car sales at this location. For these reasons, we do not having concerns with the proposed use provided that it is limited In scale through the amending Zoning By -law. This should relate to the proposed northeast location and lot coverage generally shown on the site plan submitted with the application.

Working Together to Serve Our Community PD-2007-20 are met; and e a warning clause be registered on adjacent Agricultural operations. Bill Nitransky has requested an amendment to Zoning By -law No. 395,1966 for a 39.7 hectare (99 acre) parcel of land known as 14360 Montrose Road, as shown on Schedule 1. A 2- storey, 6- bedroom, single detached dwelling exists on the land. The applicant is seeking to have the use of the dwelling recognized as a cottage rental dwelling (rented to tourists for accommodation on a daily or weekly basis with occupancy up to 30 persons. Refer to Schedule 2 for the details of the property and to Schedules 3 and 4 for the floor plans. The land is currently zoned Rural.

However, the proposed cottage rental dwelling, with a 30- person occupancy, is more of a commercial inn, and does not conform with the Regional Policy Plan. This use appears to be an intensive Type "B" non agricultural use, as defined by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Minimum Distance Separation (MDS) formula. There is an existing poultry operation on the west side of Montrose Road, and Type B uses are to be setback 425 metres (1,400 feet) from such operations. The cottage rental dwelling would not meet this requirement. Final inspections have not been completed for building permits issued for the property, one for a dwelling addition and one for an unfinished barn. The applicant was made aware of these outstanding permits when the property was acquired but no action has been taken. It is the applicant's responsibility to complete the necessary work and arrange for final inspections. There are a number of property standards violations, including a number of unused cars and other debris on the property. The cottage rental dwelling is required to be licensed under the City Licensing By -law. Fire Services Fire Services has no record of a current fire safety inspection for this property. A fire safety inspection would be required in order to determine its current fire safety status. Municipal Works No objections. Parks, Recreation Culture No objections. Regional Public Health No objections provided the applicant provides a detailed sewage system design for the proposal, in conformity with the Ontario Building Code that can accommodate necessary cooking facilities and the applicant provides a potable drinking supply. April 2, 2007 3 PD- 2007 -20 Surrounding Residents Planning Analysis Three letters have been submitted and are on tonight's agenda. These letters cite concerns about the occupancy of the dwelling and a potential increase in noise and disruptive behavior, the condition of the dwelling and the property, and about potential expansions of the use. As well, there are questions about environmental impacts and future farming on the property. Staff has serious concerns about the conformity of this request to the Official Plan and its compatibility with surrounding uses due to the intensity of the use and its isolation from tourist services. The following is a summary of Planning Staffs analysis of this application. 1. The requested cottage rental dwelling does not conform to the Official Plan. The land is designated Good General Agriculture by the Official Plan. While lands in Good General Agricultural areas are primarily intended for agriculture, forestry and conservation, bed and breakfast accommodations with up to six guest rooms may also be permitted. Bed and breakfast accommodations are to be carefully regulated through a Zoning By -law amendment as to their location, size and traffic generation in order to minimize potential disturbances to adjacent properties and to ensure that the private sewage disposal system can accommodate the increased sewage loading. This application does not conform to the Official Plan for the following reasons: As noted by the Region, the cottage rental dwelling does not conform to the MDS formula set out by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. With 30 occupants, this use needs to be set back 425 metres (1,400 feet) from the poultry operation on the west site of Montrose Road. This setback is only about 260 metres (850 feet). Noise and odours from this operation could be disruptive to guests and could trigger complaints about the poultry operation. This insufficient setback indicates the proposed cottage rental dwelling is not compatible with the existing agricultural use. With this lack of conformity, the cottage rental dwelling does not comply with the Good General Agriculture policies of the Official Plan. These policies ensure the viability of the City's agricultural community and protect current and future agricultural operations by prohibiting any incompatible uses from locating in agricultural areas. As discussed above, the proposed use does not appear to be compatible with surrounding agricultural uses. Complaints from guests of the proposed use may discourage agricultural operations such as the poultry operation from continuing and expanding. The lands are located in an agricultural area where numerous livestock and crop operations exist. The viability of this area is dependant on preventing incompatible uses from locating here. April 2, 2007 Cottage rental dwellings are generally directed to the City's urban area in close proximity to tourist areas. This ensures that tourists have easy access to services and tourist commercial facilities and that residents and non tourist commercial uses are not adversely impacted by the infiltration of tourist traffic into their neighbourhoods. Not only is the proposed cottage rental dwelling isolated from tourist areas, the 30 guests could generate noise and disruptive behaviour that will impact on nearby rural residential uses. Although bed and breakfasts are permitted in Good General Agricultural Areas, limiting them to six guest rooms controls their scale as two persons will typically stay in a guest room. A cottage rental dwelling housing 30 persons is a much higher occupancy than what could be expected with a bed and breakfast. 2, The requested zoning is not appropriate. The Rural zoning of the property restricts its use to residences and agricultural uses. A cottage rental dwelling with 30- person occupancy is not consistent with these other uses for the reasons indicated above. Should Council approve this application, control over its occupancy should be considered. In addition, staff has noted building permit and property standard issues with the property. Although Building and By -law Division staff will be following up on these apparent violations, it is recommended that no amending by -law be passed until these matters are addressed. CONCLUSION: The requested cottage rental dwelling cannot be supported for the following reasons: It does not conform to the Official Plan with respect to uses permitted in the Official Plan. It does not appear to comply with Provincial regulations with respect to setbacks from livestock operations. The high occupancy of the proposed use may be disruptive to surrounding properties. This use would be more appropriately located on a property close to tourist commercial facilities.

The following Provincial and Regional comments are provided for your consideration. The property is designated as a Good General Agricultural Area in the Regional Policy Plan. Provincial and Regional agricultural policies restrict non -farm development. This has been further emphasized in the recent Provincial Growth Plan which directs urban uses to approved settlement areas. Small scale secondary uses (Le. home occupations) that support the agricultural industry may be permitted where they are compatible with the surrounding agricultural area. More specifically, the Regional Policy Plan permits secondary uses such as home occupations for bed and breakfast establishments in existing residences for up to six guest rooms. Other forms of tourist accommodations such as hotels, motels and inns are not permitted. A dwelling may be permitted on an existing lot or farm parcel outside of the Urban Area. It should also be pointed out that the Planning Act prohibits regulating land use based on relationship (i.e. family) where occupants are renting on the basis of a "single housekeeping unit On this basis, Regional Planning staff is not opposed to an existing dwelling being rented to visitors in the agricultural area where the residential character of the residence is maintained. However, in this instance we understand that the existing dwelling contains 6 guest rooms with an occupancy capacity of up to 30 persons. The number of occupants is not typical for a single detached dwelling and seems to be more of a commercial nature such as an inn or a motel. This would not conform to Provincial and Regional Agricultural policies. Regional Planning staff has previously expressed concerns with zoning by -law amendment applications for "cottage rental dwellings" in the agricultural area. This current proposal for up to 30 occupants raises further concems particularly since the City has plenty of opportunities to accommodate tourists in the Urban Area. If the City wishes to consider "cottage rental dwellings" as a use different than a single detached dwelling, it should only allow them in the Building Community.

Welland, ON L3B 5147 Dear Mr. Darbyson, Sincerely, Dawn Pierrynowski 1-905-384.2476 Monday, March 12, 2007 t I am writing in response to the Notice of Application for a Zoning By -law Amendment Application, City Pile: AM- o2/2007. I understand that the applicant would like to have the single detached dwelling to be recognized as a cottage rental dwelling for tourists. I have a few questions regarding the use of the building and the drain on the map. 1. Has an inspection been made of this rural dwelling to ascertain whether it is realistic for 30 people to rent? That would be 5 people/bedroom. 2. Has the Environmental impact been considered? 3. What kinds of activities will be advertised for the tourists to do on the rest of the property if this amendment is approved? (E.g. ATVs, Horseback riding, etc) 4. If this amendment is granted, will the rest of the property be maintained as farmland or are future expansion plans being considered to accommodate tourist's recreational needs? With respect to Schedule 2 regarding the details of the property, is Tee Creek considered to be a 9.1 m drain? Although I commend individuals who are creative when developing a new business and would like to maintain a good neighbour relationship, I am concerned about the large number of occupants being considered; especially if the dwelling is rented for a week. Included in my concerns are the possibility of an increase in noise level and the environmental impact that would occur if certain activities where to be promoted for tourists to enhance their holiday experiences.

Box 1023, 4310 Queen St. Niagara Falls, ON L2E 6X5 Honorable Mayor Ted Salci: O N T A R I O e rdik,12 The Green Ribbon of Hope Campaign is aimed at bringing awareness to the community regarding the issue of missing children and how one can safeguard their child from predators, on -line or in the streets, which seek to harm their love ones. In the year 2005, 66,548 cases of missing children were reported to the RCMP National Missing Children Services, of which 22,503 were recorded here in the Province of Ontario alone. This year marks the Child Find Ontario's 16 Annual Green Ribbon of HopeTM Campaign during the month of May. We are seeking the support of you and your council members to assist us in bringing this message to your constituency and supporting our 16 Annual Green Ribbon of Hope Campaign during the month of May, including National Missing Children's Day on May 25 2007. The concept of the Green Ribbon of Hope Campaign was developed by the students of Holy Cross Secondary School in St. Catharines and is a result of the abduction and subsequent murder of 15- year -old Kristen French on April 16, 1992. The Green Ribbon is now a symbol of recognition for the many children who go missing every year. The colour green embodies a sign of hope for those children who have gone missing. Child Find Ontario Inc. is a registered non profit, charitable children's organization whose mandate is to assist searching parents and law enforcement agencies in the search for missing children and teenagers and to educate children and adults about safe guarding their children from the unthinkable. Since 1984, we have been working for the safe return of missing children and educating families and communities about child safety. In honor of all searching parents we would ask that your leadership play a key role in promoting the safe return of all missing children by granting this issue the support of your office and elected colleagues during our 16 Annual Green Ribbon of Hope Campaign. Enclosed are sample proclamations for the Green Ribbon of Hope Campaign and National Missing Children's Day on the 25 of May, for which we encourage you to recognize and lend your support. We would also be pleased to provide you free of charge Green Ribbons to wear and fliers to post during the month of May in support of the safe return of all missing children.

In June 2004, a joint application was filed to ask the government authorities responsible for providing emergency services be granted access to enhanced 9 -1 -1 database information with the purpose of providing telephone -based emergency alerts. This information would allow local authorities to implement Community Notification Services (CNS) which would allow local authorities to notify citizens of imminent threats to public safety. Attached please find AMO Member Communication Alert No. 07/010 confirming that the CRTC has determined that it is in the public interest to provide enhanced 9 -1 -1 information for a telephone -based community notification service. It will take one year before a full set of guidelines, security procedures and practices for enhanced CNS are in place. Further information will be provided as implementation procedures are available.

As part of the responsibility for emergency planning and preparedness Fire Services has been reviewing the issue of notification to residents in any particular geographic area of the city in order to advise them of the action to be taken in an emergency. At the 2003 World Conference on Disaster Management held in Toronto, contact was made with companies who provide GIS linked notification software that requires a telephone database to provide emergency notification. The 911 database of telephone numbers and addresses are considered confidential and an application to the CRTC is required for access. Strathcona County and the City of Fort Saskatchewan had purchased and installed one of the GIS linked notification systems and had been using the telephone directory database initially. They found that the telephone directory database was approximately 50% accurate which was totally unacceptable for emergency notification. As a result, Strathcona County and the City of Fort Saskatchewan began the process to prepare and file an application to the Working Together to Serve Our Community Municipal Works Fire Services Parks, Recreation Culture Business Development Building By -Law Services FS•2004 -10 Patrick Burke Fire Chief May 3, 2004 -2 FS- 2004 -10 CRTC. A Regulatory Consultant was engaged to assist with the application and it is anticipated that the cost for the consultant will be in the range of $16,000. As Community Emergency Management Coordinator, the Fire Chief has taken part in teleconferences with other interested parties concerning the CRTC application. Those parties include: In proceeding before the CRTC with the application, country -wide support is important. While it is preferable to be added as a co- applicant with nominal financial support, Strathcona County and the City of Fort Saskatchewan would welcome even a letter of support for their efforts. This application is critical to the ability of communities across Canada to fulfill their responsibility in emergency preparedness and response. In Ontario, emergency planning, preparedness and response is no longer discretionary. It is mandatory. A successful outcome to this application process will go a long away in assisting in community preparedness. It is recommended that Council approve one of two options: 1. become a party to the CRTC application with nominal financial support; or 2. send a letter of support for the CRTC application to Strathcona County and the City of Fort Saskatchewan.

In June 2004, Strathcona County on behalf of itself, AMO, the City of Fort Saskatchewan, the City of Brandon, the New Brunswick Department of Safety, Emergency Management Alberta, Emergency Management Ontario, the County of Essex and the City of Niagara Falls "the Municipalities filed an application under Part VII of the CRTC Telecommunications Rules of Procedure. The application asked that government authorities responsible for providing emergency services be granted access to enhanced 9 -1 -1 (E9 -1 -1) database information with the purpose of providing telephone -based emergency alerts. Currently maintained by Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILECs), this information would allow local authorities to implement Community Notification Services (CNS). CNS would allow local authorities to notify citizens of imminent threats to public safety. ILECs largely embraced the concept of CNS. However, they did note several privacy related concerns that would need to be addressed by the CRTC. The CRTC has received submissions and comments from the Municipalities, ILECs and other stakeholders on this issue. The CRTC determined that it is in the public interest to allow ILECs to provide E9 -1 -1 information for a telephone -based community notification service. ILECs must provide this information where available and as requested by a public authority. However, this permission is subject to several limitations, safeguards, notification requirements and other constraints outlined below. It will take one year before a full set of guidelines, security procedures and practices for enhanced CNS are in place. The transfer of ILEC E911 information is limited to telephone numbers and associated addresses. Its use is limited to public authorities broadly defined to account for the diverse structure of emergency service groups. The information may only be deployed when there is an emergency, defined as "an imminent or unfolding danger that threatens Association of 1 -2 Municipalities of Ontario II Action: For information. Member Communication the life, health or security of an individual as determined by a public authority. The use of E9 -1 -1 information is limited to the specific emergency alert and parties must destroy E9 -1 -1 information once notification has been completed. If the CRTC determines that CNS information is misused, ILECs must suspend or terminate the disclosure of E9 -1 -1 information. Authorized administrators for public alerts are restricted to PSAPs (Public Safety Answering Points), which also manage 911 calls. To ensure privacy is respected, public authorities must submit annual enhanced CNS reports detailing the circumstances surrounding any public alert. Non disclosure agreements with ILECs must be in place, signed by the public authority, authorized administrators and CNS providers. The E9 -1 -1 information may not be enriched with additional personal information, except supplemental geographic information to be used to improve enhanced CNS delivery. A set of standard guidelines, security procedures and practices for enhanced CNS will be established by the CRTC Interconnection Steering Committee (CISC), to be put forth one year from the date of the decision. The Municipalities' draft guidelines will inform this process. Prior notification regarding the use of enhanced CNS must be provided by local public authorities, who must bear these associated costs. At minimum, this must be in the form of a billing insert three months before the service becomes operational. Both ILEC and non -ILEC CNS providers may operate as the CNS provider. Neither GIS nor IVR (integrated voice response) capabilities are mandatory for ILECs to provide enhanced CNS. Centralized enhanced CNS functions across ILECs were recommended to ensure greater efficiency. Such centralization will be the responsibility of ILECs, but the associated costs will be included in the cost of the service. ILECs must file proposed tariff pages, following a request from a public authority. CISC will address all future operational issues as they arise. CNS costs, including the implementation costs, will be recovered by the ILEC from the public authority through an explicit tariff rate. Mark -up on costs related by elements such as the E9 -1 -1 CNS repository are limited to a maximum of 10 per cent, in line with the constraint imposed on 911 service. ILECs must indemnify the local public authority in the event of a claim arising out of a breach of the agreement by the ILEC. ILECs are to be held to the same standard of limited liability that applies to 911 terms of service This information is available in the Policy Issues section of the AMO website at www.amo.on.ca.

To complete the reconstruction of Dorchester Road between the CNR tracks and Morrison Street, including the Morrison Street intersection, three properties need to be acquired. The three properties are as shown on the attached drawing. These properties are necessary to provide for the widening of the Morrison Street intersection to five lanes and the relocation of the sidewalk, traffic signals and the utilities. The required property on the east side of Dorchester Road was reduced from the approved Environmental Assessment to minimize disruption to this property. During the detailed design, it was found that the existing City sidewalk on Dorchester Road was on the Optimist Club property. Therefore, the proposed land acquisition includes the lands that the existing sidewalk is located on. Council's concurrence with the recommendation de would be appreciated.

BACKGROUND: In 1997 the City partnered with the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority in an ecological restoration project at Baden Powell Park. This 3.2 Ha. (8 Acre) project area was planted with Tall Prairie Grass including the rare Big Blue Stem and Indian Core Prairie Grass Species. In order to establish and enhance this ecologically sensitive species a 'prescribed or controlled burn' is required every five to eight years. This prairie grass demonstration area went through two prescribed burns seven years ago on May 1, 1999. The ecological plan outlines that the second prescribed burn be completed in 2007 as part of the long term management of this ecological restoration program. The regeneration program has worked with the firm called Lands and Forests Consulting. The consulting firm has performed prescribed burns throughout Ontario municipalities for the past 30 years with excellent results. The City of Windsor, for example, has completed eight prescribed burns in the past 15 years. 7150 Montrose Road, Unit 1, Niagara Falls ON, Canada L2H 3N3 905- 356 -7521 www.niagarafalls.ca Working Together to Serve Our Community Community Services Department Parks, Recreation Cultu April 2, 2007 The burn would be scheduled, weather permitting, in April 2007.

Anderson Associates Ltd. and McCormick Rankin Corporation are pleased to submit this proposal of services to the City of Niagara Falls to conduct a Growth Management Strategy and Official Plan Review. From our review of the City's Terms of Reference, it is our understanding that this study will help to determine both the quantum and type of residential and employment land required in City of Niagara Falls to support growth over the longer term. The study will also provide recommended policy refinements to the City's Official Plan which is intended to better facilitate economic growth in the City. This work is being Initiated by the City to ensure that the municipality's responsibilities under the Province's new Places to Grow Growth Plan are appropriately defined and Implemented. In essence this strategy document will become the new framework for municipal decision making related to planning and economic development. The study will also be used to inform the larger regional growth management strategy that Is currently being undertaken by the Regional Municipality of Niagara. One of the key outcomes of the study will be to provide a clearer understanding of the long -range Issues that will shape future growth in Niagara Falls. urbanMetrics is one of Canada's leading urban economics consulting firms. Over the past several years we have completed numerous employment land studies for communities and economic development agencies of all sizes. These studies have been prepared for a variety of purposes, including: business recruitment and retention, land -use planning and dispute resolution before the Ontario Municipal Board. For example, urbanMetrics has worked extensively with the City of Burlington's planning and legal departments, helping to evaluate the long -term consequences of a fixed urban boundary, and the implications that urbanMetrics inc. market, economic and strategic advisors such a boundary would have on the City's vacant land base. As part of this work program, we were Involved in a "landmark" OMB hearing where we successfully provided market based planning evidence supporting the City's policy position to aggressively protect a 250 acre parcel of greenfield employment land near the QEW from major residential conversion. In addition to this work, our firm has also prepared numerous strategy documents which have analyzed the marketability of commercial and industrial real estate assets (including both land and buildings). In the City of Hamilton, for example, our firm prepared an employment land opportunity study addressing the long -range potential for a new employment area adjacent to the John C. Munro airport. In total the opportunity to introduce an additional 3,000 acres of new employment land around the airport was evaluated against the City's economic development strategy and newly planned highway infrastructure. For this study, urbanMetrics and the Meridian Planning Consultants have pulled together a multi disciplinary team that includes, the Centre for Spatial Economics and R.V. Anderson and McCormick Rankin. We trust that the information provided in the accompanying proposal adequately reflects the competencies that reside within our firms, and that the necessary skills and expertise will be deployed over the course of the study period to ensure that an "implementable" growth management strategy for Niagara Falls is achieved.

Our Understanding of Your Requirements The Greater Golden Horseshoe ('GGH') is widely renowned to be one of the fastest growing regions in North America and has become the destination of choice for many people and businesses that relocate to Canada from around the world, The region is perceived as offering a high quality of life, excellent employment opportunities and a competitive, cost effective business environment, The Province has become concerned however, that without properly managing this growth many of the communities within this region may experience the negative consequences of rapid growth, namely increased traffic congestion, deteriorating air and water quality, the disappearance of productive agricultural lands and the degradation of many of the natural features which define the overall heath of the GGH region. In June 2006 the Province approved the Places to Grow Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe "The Places to Grow Plan or "PTGP This new Provincial Plan incorporates and builds upon earlier legislation intended to conserve land around Toronto, namely the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act, 2007 and the Greenbelt Act, 2005. The new Places to Grow Plan "PTGP requires upper and lower -tier municipalities to modify and update their Official Plan documents and bring them into full conformity with the new Provincial Plan. One of the central features and underpinnings of the new PTGP is "Schedule 3" which lays out both population and employment forecasts to 2031 for the upper -tier (regional) municipalities to adhere to. All upper -tier municipalities must now adopt these growth forecasts in their official plans. At present time, most upper -tier municipalities in the GGH have or plan to undertake conformity exercises, in which allocations of growth are to be assigned to lower tier (local -area) municipalities. A further consideration to managing the growth of this region will be the increased interest and pressure to converted employment lands to residential uses. To this point, the City of Niagara Falls has received two significant development applications that are proposing the re- designation of some 800 gross acres of employment lands for future residential use. As required under the Province's Growth Plan, such conversions can only take place once a "comprehensive review" has been undertaken that determines the amount of physical land required to support balance growth. At this time the City of Niagara Falls requires the assistance of a qualified consulting team of planning and land development experts to complete the following analyses: urbanMetrics Inc. market. economic and strategic advhors IAN C4SE R.V.

It is our belief that the Project Team assembled in this submission brings together the right combination of skills, experience, market understanding, and leadership needed to effectively deliver the range of deliverables requested by the City.

Proposed Methodology In accordance with your terms of reference the work program for completing this assignment is divided into two phases. Phase 1 is to comprise a peer review of two major Official Plan amendment applications while Phase II will involve the development of a Growth Management Strategy for the City of Niagara Falls and a review of the City's Official Plan to ensure that municipal policies reflect the Province's Growth Plan objectives. While we are prepared to undertake the work in the manner prescribed in the City's terms of reference, the City may wish to consider completing the residential and employment needs analysis first in order to establish a context for the evaluation of the two development applications. This issue will be discussed with staff at the project initiation meeting. 3.1 Project Initiation During this initial phase, we will confirm project scope, reporting schedules, deliverables, milestones, meeting dates and presentations. This will involve a meeting with representatives of the City's planning and development staff and the Technical Advisory Committee to confirm working relationships, contact points, staff responsibilities, meeting schedule and project timing. At this stage in the assignment a representative of the Project Team will consult with key City and Regional staff In Planning and Development, Public Works, Transportation Services and Economic Development, to gain an understanding of the scope and Implications of any initiatives cis it relates to the development of a Growth Strategy for the City. The following discussion outlines our proposed methodology for completing this work. 3.2 Peer Review The City has received two significant development applications that propose the re- designation of approximately 800 gross acres of Industrial land for future residential purposes. Studies have been provided to the City in support of these applications. Having regard to the Province's Growth Plan, our approach to thls peer review Is similar to that utilized by urbanMetrics inc. to conduct peer reviews of other market studies prepared in support of commercial /residential projects across Ontario. 1. urbanMetrics will visit the sites and assess their suitability for residential versus employment uses through a consideration of various factors including: access, visibility, marketability, compatibility with surrounding uses and other factors. urbanMetrics inc. market, economic and strafeplc advisors C4SE R.V.

We will consult with local and regional economic development staff and the ICI brokerage community as to the prevailing trends in demand for industrial /employment land in the City and region. 5. We will review any new policy or technical documents that could influence the City's supply of residential or employment lands, including: Housing Statements, Strategic Plans, Official Plan Amendments, any new Development Charge documentation, etc; urbanMetrics Inc. market, economic and strategic advisors C4SE a cl R.V. Anderson Associates Limited environment mv.eumewre Niagara Falls Growth Management Offlciol Plan Rewew If applicable, we will inform you of any significant gaps, errors or omissions that would require amendments or additional analyses by the applicant's market consultant. At this point, a decision can be made as to how the City wishes to proceed. For example, the peer review might conclude that a decision to proceed to permit on or both of the applications may be premature and therefore recommend that the matter be deferred until the completion of a more comprehensive analysis is completed as part of the growth strategy. Alternatively, we may determine that the removal of up to 800 acres from the City's employment land supply is quite simply not appropriate if sufficient land elsewhere in Niagara Falls is not available for economic and job growth purposes. Based on our review of the individual applications and the technical documents supporting them, we will prepare a draft peer review for discussion purposes with City planning staff. Where appropriate, the peer review will include sensitivity tests to assess how changes in key assumptions could affect the conclusions of the market analysis. We will meet with you to review the results of the draft peer review and finalize it as required. The peer review will be prepared by urbanMetrics over a period of eight to ten weeks weeks, with a delivery date anticipated in mid February to early March. Ultimately, the completion date will depend on City's timing to move forward with a selected consultant, and initiate this project. urbanMetrics would be in a position to begin this work immediately. Professional Fees for the Peer Review component are stated at S45,000 plus disbursements and GST. Note that these fees to not include any additional work, in the event that the applications are referred to Ontario Municipal Board. 3.3 Growth Management Strategy The Growth Management Strategy component would be managed by Meridian with the assistance and input of urbanMetrics, C4SE, R.V. Anderson and McCormick Rankin. 3.3.1 Establish a Detailed Work Program Growth management studies incorporate many aspects of planning into them. The volume of information and areas to investigate can, as a result, become expansive. In our experience it is key to establish a detailed work program before expending considerable energy on such projects. The consulting team would develop a more detailed work program shortly after the project initiation meeting. To do this, the team will review the materials and documents to be used as background inputs, review any existing information databases, discuss with the Region the scope of their work and expectations from this project and further discuss with the Region any impacts upon either municipality of this study. Meridian will prepare a technical memo urbanMetrics inc. au RmAN market economic and strategic advisors C4SE ca R.V. Anderson Associates Limited environment infrastructure 3 -10 Niagara Falls Growth Management Official Plan Review that will serve as the Growth Management Study work program. This work program will also provide more information around timing, once the study team has been able to determine the way in which the City's growth management strategy will dovetail with the work being undertaken by the Region and any other planning exercises being undertaken In neighbouring municipalities. It is our understanding that the Province of Ontario, is about to initiate a GGH -wide employment land needs analysis, in which the full extent of employment land supply and demand will be address across the entire region. Our work will need to be cognizant of, and should in fact be consistent with, these other parallel study processes. 3.3.2 Develop the Build -Out Scenario C4SE will evaluate the "build -out" employment land requirements in the City of Niagara Falls. C1SE will assess the employment potential of the City of Niagara Falls against a backdrop of expected employment by industry trends throughout Ontario and the Golden Horseshoe in general, taking into account the unique locational, industrial and commercial attributes of Niagara Falls' existing economic base. In preparing an evaluation of Niagara Falls' prospects for employment growth over the next three decades, CaSE will carry out several evaluations: C4SE routinely prepares and updates long -term projections of the Canadian and Ontario economies. Drawing on that work we will summarize our expectations regarding Ontario's trade potential with the United States, and its other trading partners. The discussion will include a summarization of our expectations with respect to interest rates, exchange rates and the movement of goods and people across the Canada United States border. We will describe the implications of these growth trends for Ontario's export potential by major industry in the decades ahead. ii. Using detailed annual Labour Force Survey data for Ontario as a whole, C4SE will review historical trends (over the past two decades) in employment by industry for each of some 30 industries. Drawing on our standard projection services we will provide projections of employment for each of these industries for Ontario through to 2031, highlighting those export-based sectors that we expect will drive economic growth throughout the province in the years ahead. Generally speaking our projections indicate that professional, tourism and health care services will replace heavy industry as the engines of economic growth throughout Ontario's communities in the decades ahead. iii. Using employment by place of work Census data for 2001 C4SE will develop location quotients by industry for each of 20 industries for the City of Niagara Falls. Location 1 Data from the 2006 Census regarding labour market activities are not slated for release until March 2008. urbanMetrics inc. market, economic and strategic advisors C4SE R.V. Anderson Associates Limited environment InlreeYucluts 3 -11 Niagara Falls Growth Management Official Plan Review quotients measure the relative importance of employment by industry for a community relative to the importance of that industry to the province at large. In carrying out this analysis C4SE will Identify those industries in the City that define its economic base those producing goods exported to other markets in Ontario or abroad and those providing services and products primarily purchased by visitors to City and those that largely fulfill the needs of the local population education, most health care, some retail services, etc. If the City collects its own data on employment by industry C4SE will evaluate its relevance to the conclusions drawn from this location quotient analysis. C4SE will evaluate these location quotients for the City of Niagara Falls against the backdrop of our employment by industry projections for all of Ontario. This assessment will allow us to draw conclusions regarding potential employment growth across the City's export and community based industries. Meridian will then transform the C4SE projections of potential employment by industry into projections of potential employment land requirements. 3.3.3 Needs and Opportunity Analysis In completing the Residential and Employment Needs Analysis full consideration will be given to the existing supply and quality of residential and employment land as well as the historic pattern for residential and employment land development over the past 20 years. 3.3.3.1 Supply Analysis Employment Lands The proposed worksteps to address the supply of employment lands are as follows: 1. Update the City's inventory of public and private sector employment lands according to location, designation, quantity, servicing and development status; H. Confirm the City's current vacancy rate and the current employment to population rates ('activity rates'); in. Establish "targets" for future activity rates, vacancy levels and employment land densities. The targets will be established as a means to test the market opportunity of establishing transit oriented densities, and the implications that a variety of density factors would have on long -term land supply; iv. Identify and recommend strategic parcels in the City for future employment use including lands in the vicinity of the existing and future City /Provincial major road networks and rail facilities; urbanMetrics inc. MERMAN market, ba namlc and strategic inn. N CaSE a R.V. Anderson Associates Limited environment mrm.,,unwre 3 -12 Niagara Falls Growth Management Official Plan Review v. Identify and analyze any supply related constraints affecting the existing Inventory of employment lands including environmental constraints, infrastructure requirements, compatibility with surrounding land uses and fragmented ownership and recommend alternate uses where appropriate; and vi. Identify employment land supply requirements needed to achieve the City's long range objectives for economic growth over the next 20 years. 3.3.3.2 Demand Analysis- Employment Lands The worksteps to address the demand for employment lands in the City of Niagara Falls will Include: i. Analyze historic absorption and demand patterns for employment lands in the City. This analysis will address the demand patterns by location, quantity, type and size of land parcel and will examine future potential changes in demand created by more global and provincial economic trends. ii. Project future employment land requirements and establish overall demand based on new Places to Grow employment and population projections and its designation of Niagara Falls as a Gateway Economic Zone, desired employment activity rates and the need for a broadening of existing employment area designations. iii. Prepare an analysis of future location requirements by type of employment use, market feasibility, targeted business and employment sectors; iv. Compile a statistical profile of the City's business and employment sectors by number and size of firms using Statistics Canada and Canadian Business Patterns data; v. Conduct a market and trend analysis to identify the types of employment opportunities in demand that are targeted for attraction and development in the City; vi. Consult with key representatives of the City's business and employment sectors and the ICI brokerage community (maximum of 20) for input into the challenges and opportunities for economic growth in the City's key sectors. vii. Identify and establish targets for the appropriate amount of zoned, serviced and available employment lands by type and location to be maintained at all times in the City; urbanMetrics inc. market economic and shategfc advRas C4SE R.V. Anderson Associates Limited envInnm.nt Infrastructure 3 -13 Niagara Falls Growth Management Offldal Plan Review viii. Review the land use designations set out in the City's Official Plan and make appropriate recommendations for the inclusion of new land use provisions that would help to facilitate long term growth and economic development. 3.3.4 Supply Analysis Residential Lands The worksteps to address the supply of residential land In Niagara Falls are as follows: i. Confirm the inventory of residential units in the planning pipeline and analyse the current scale of the residential pipeline in Niagara Falls in terms of its ability to satisfy the Provincial Policy Statement requirements. The pipeline will be broken down into the following categories: Registered /Un- built; Draft Plan Approved; and Pending Applications. ii. Through discussions City staff we will confirm the potential land supply In Niagara Falls. This inventory will be used as a determinant of potential or "theoretical" housing capacity of the City. iii. Confirm residential densities of existing areas of Niagara Falls to determine the extent to which current residential policies are being achieved. Through this analysis we will determine the appropriate residential densities that need to be achieved in order to accommodate growth within the 2006 -2031 time horizon. iv. Finally we will compare the residential densities determined above with estimates used for planning purposes in other GGH municipalities Including: Halton, Durham, Waterloo and Peel Regions. 3.3.5 Demand Analysis The worksteps to address the demand for residential land in Niagara Falls are as follows: 1. Utilizing actual housing development demand trends In Niagara Falls over the past 15 years, a baseline forecast will be developed for the period 2006 to 2031. h. Taking into consideration demographic shifts, development pressures in the Niagara Region, public policy issues (e.g. Greenbelt Act) as well as other variables, housing and residential land needs will be forecast in an alternative scenario for the period 2006 to 2031. 3.4 Prepare the Growth Strategy Meridian will develop and prepare a recommended Growth Strategy for the City. This report will consider and contain the following components: urbanMetrics inc. market, economic and strategic advisors C4SE R.V.Anderson Associates Limited environment infrastructure 3 -14 Niagara Falls Growth Management Official Plan Review C4SE's review of the demand prospects for employment in the City and land requirements for the "bulld -out" scenario for the entire urban area; A review of Provincial requirements respecting intensification, redevelopment and density target objectives, and an allocation of the growth projections to meet those objectives; A review of the existing planning context in Niagara Falls, including the Provincial Policy Statement, the Regional Niagara Official Policies Plan, the City's Official Plan and any applicable Secondary Plans and the Zoning By -law; An analysis of the current designated housing and employment land supply in the City; A review of the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe to determine what policies need to be updated or Introduced to bring the Official Plan into conformity with it; and finally The growth strategy will also rely on the technical input of our water servicing and transportation consulting partners. R.V Anderson will be responsible for providing strategic input to Meridian on the implications of the "build -out" scenario on water and wastewater infrastructure. R.V Anderson will use the available water and wastewater infrastructure capacities provided by the City, and information obtained from existing infrastructure reports provided in order to develop high level relative costing for the expansion or construction of treatment and conveyance infrastructure. Non -cost implications will also be discussed In the Growth Management Strategy. As future growth in the Niagara Falls will result in increased demand for solid waste management and diversion, R.V. Anderson will provide a commentary on the Implications of the "build -out" scenario on the City. It should be noted that cost Implications will not be discussed as part of this analysis. McCormick Rankin will be responsible for providing a strategic engineering overview to Meridian that addresses the practicality and implementation of required transportation infrastructure requirements. It would Include a review of available corridor rights of way, major physical and topographical constraints, and construction staging opportunities. The identified engineering opportunities and constraints would assist In the evaluation of the alternative urban form options to determine a preferred growth option. The work program associated with the strategic transportation and engineering analysis includes significant liaison and interaction between the land use and transportation disciplines in order to identify and respond to the evaluation criteria urbanMetrics inc. market, economic and strategic advisors u MERIDIAN CISE a R.V. Anderson Associates Limited environment i Infrastructure 3 -15 Niagara Falls Growth Management Official Plan Review used to assess alternative growth scenarios. Summaries of the analysis will be prepared by McCormick Rankin in a presentation format for review with appropriate stakeholders, The Growth Strategy Report will outline what the "build -out" vision for Niagara Falls will ultimately look like, and test how well the current planning framework enables the City to develop this vision. We have budgeted for two drafts of this report and two meetings with Staff to review and comment on the report. Given the expected release of 2006 census population data in the spring of 2007, it is prudent to allow for additional refinements to data sets that may materialize over the course of the study period. According to Statistics Canada's current release schedule, labour force information and place -of -work data will not be released until the fall of 2007, which would be near the end of the study period. 3.4.1 Prepare Official Plan Amendment The Growth Strategy Report will outline how the current planning framework can handle future growth in Niagara Falls, and where changes to facilitate growth or to reinforce the City's position on any number of matters would be required. Based upon this Report and direction from Council, Meridian will prepare an Official Plan Amendment that will implement the Growth Strategy and bring the Official Plan into conformity with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. 3.5 Preparation of Final Reports In accordance with your terms of reference, we will prepare three reports to address the results of the work described herein. The first report will focus on the peer review of the development proposals and provide the City with recommendations as to the processing of these applications. The second report will articulate a detailed growth strategy for the City of Niagara Falls including population and employment projections for the City and an assessment of employment land needs and residential land supply in the City. The third report will contain a review of the City's Official Plan policies and recommendations new policies that implement a growth management strategy that is consistent with the Province's Growth Plan and addresses urban growth boundaries and phasing, intensification, criteria for well- designed greenfield developments and measures to protect natural areas. urbanMetrics inc.

Study Fees and Timing 4.1 Study Fees Given the scope of work involved in this assignment we have prepared a detailed budget that we believe adequately reflects the volume of work outlined in the City's RFP, dated October 19, 2006. The total upset fee for the assignment is quoted at $212,098 Inclusive of GST and expenses. These fees are based on a detailed breakdown of professional fees and expenses as provided on Figure 1 attached. 4.2 Study Timing As per the Terms of Reference the stated timing of the final deliverable Is anticipated within 12 months of awarding the contract. As noted previously in our proposal, we feel it is appropriate to develop a technical memo that will serve as the Growth Management Study work program and timetable once the project team has had the to determine the way that the City's growth management strategy will dovetail with the work being undertaken by the Region and any other planning exercises being undertaken in neighbouring municipalities. It is also our understanding that the Province of Ontario, is about to initiate a GGH -wide employment land needs analysis, in which the full extent of employment land supply and demand will be addressed across the entire region. Our work will need to be cognizant of, and should in fact be consistent with, these other parallel study processes. In addition the Province has also begun a process to establish a final boundary for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Notwithstanding the foregoing we are prepared to begin work on the peer review component of the workplan immediately and anticipate its completion over a period of eight to ten weeks, with a delivery date anticipated in mld- February to early- March. We are prepared to discuss any aspect of our approach and workplan with the Municipality, as appropriate. urbanMetrics Inc. jtiutwlAI4 mocker economic ana skate.'c adWSOrs rsf15 C4SE R.V.

Selected Experience The following is a sample of the work undertaken by the Project Team considered relevant to the issues facing the completion of this assignment. 5.1 urbanMetrics inc. City of Burlington Residential Employment Land Needs Analysis On behalf of the City of Burlington we prepared a study that assessed the future need for additional employment and residential land in the City. The purpose of the study was to assist the municipal planning staff with respect to future allocations for residential land for Official Plan and policy purposes and the corresponding long term demand for employment land. The study involved the development of a residential demand model that considered future population growth in the Toronto Hamilton Region; headship rates; Burlington's role of the future market as well as future demand for a variety of different housing types. Town of Ajax Employment Land Needs Study For a private development company, urbanMetrics inc. recently undertook a study of the medium to long term supply of employment lands in the town of Ajax. The study included a review of historic land absorption, projected employment growth and the lands needed to accommodate future growth expectations in the community and Durham Region. The study also examined the appropriateness of a 70 acre site for General Industrial and Commercial uses. Town of Richmond Hill, Ontario Land Needs Analysis In preparation for an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing for the Oak Ridges Moraine, urbanMetrics Inc. reviewed the residential and employment growth trend in the Town of Richmond Hill for a consortium of land owners. Work steps included a review of population and employment forecasts, quantitative analysis of land needs, trends in residential and employment land development, preparation of a witness statement and attendance at the Board hearing. urbanMetrics inc. market economic and strategic odWsors C4SE R.V.

The airport and surrounding land have been identified by the City as its number one economic development priority. The strategy involved an assessment of the and uses and synergies around secondary and cargo airports in North America, economic development opportunities available in the Hamilton Region, multi nodal transportation capabilities around the airport, among other factors. Our conclusions focused on a set of target industry sectors for the lands, potential site and infrastructure requirements for each sector, overall and needs, development and approval timing, and implementation options. Municipality of Chatham -Kent Economic Opportunity Study On behalf of the Chatham -Kent Economic Development Department, PricewaterhouseCoopers has undertaken an Economic Opportunity Study that evaluates future employment land needs in the recently amalgamated municipality, and provides recommendations with respect to future economic growth prospects and potential target industrial sectors for the Municipality going forward. In addition we evaluated a cost benefit analysis undertaken by the municipality to advance the development of an industrial park lands at Highway 401 and Bloomfield Road. City of Welland Economic Diversification Study A study was undertaken to provide the City of Welland with a future economic directions Strategy. This study was required in reaction to the long -term decline of the City's Economic base and a recent decision by the Province of Ontario to downsize the proposed Highway 406 through Welland. A computer based input- output model as well as a tourism model were used to determine the economic impacts of the highway and a proposed marina development. Recommendations were made as to how the City can imitate economic recovery through rebuilding its manufacturing sector and developing its tourist industry. urbanMetrics Inc. market, economic ands i uleg c advisors C4SE R.V.Anderson el Associates Limited environment infrastructure MRC 5 -19 Niagara Falls Growth Management Official Plan Review Town of Lincoln Retail Market and industrial Needs Analysis On behalf of a private sector client, urbanMetrics Inc conducted an industrial land needs analysis as part of a market assessment of the potential Impact of a proposed new format retail development in the Community of Beamsville. We were able to determine If the retail development would impact the ability of the Town of Lincoln to accommodate future employment growth and the ability of the industrial node to fulfill Its planned function. We concluded that the development of the subject lands for commercial uses will accelerate the absorption of the surrounding vacant industrial lands City of Vaughan Employment Area Growth and Economic Development Strategy urbanMetrics inc. developed a strategy to govern long -term employment growth in the City of Vaughan. The Strategy was designed to build on the City's strengths, to address its weaknesses, and to capitalize on emerging trends. The study included an analysis of Vaughan's strengths and weaknesses in terms of current land use policy in the context of the City's Economic Development Strategy and project land needs over a 25 year planning horizon. A subsequent peer review of an update to this study, conducted by the City, was carried out by urbanMetrics inc. Market Peer Reviews (Various) UrbanMetrics inc. is regularly called upon by municipal planning departments across the province to provide independent peer reviews for market feasibility studies in support of new commercial and residential development. Our peer reviews test the adequacy of the various underlying assumptions, inputs, methodology and conclusions, especially population and household growth. A partial list of our municipal clients includes the following municipalities: Aurora, Brampton, Vaughan, Toronto, Pickering, Kanata, East Gwillimbury, Waterloo, Niagara Falls and Owen Sound. urbanMetrics inc. market, economic and strategic advisors Niagara Falls Growth Management Official Plan Review 5.2 Meridian Planning Region of Halton Meridian Planning Consultants are the project managers for a major review of the Region of Halton Official Plan, This project includes conformity exercises with both the Growth Plan and the Provincial Policy Statement (2005). Municipality of Port Hope In 2006, Meridian was retained to undertake a review of the 2001 Growth Management Study to determine if there was a need to expand the urban boundary. Utilizing the additional growth projects generated in the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, the consulting team again determined that there was no need for an urban area boundary expansion. Given that there is no upper -tier planning function at the County, part of the exercise involved allocating the Growth Plan population projection for Northumberland County to the service urban areas. Municipality of Sioux Lookout Meridian Planning Consultants was retained in 2005, by the Municipality of Sioux Lookout to prepare a Growth Management Study to satisfy the requirements of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) with respect to growth management and urban expansion. Since the preparation of the Official in 2001, the Municipality has experienced relatively rapid growth with respect to Institutional uses and services, primarily servicing the First Nations Communities. It is estimated that the population served by the communliy is approximately 30,000 and Is growing at a typical annual rate of 1.5 (Keewatin Aski October 2005). The GMS examined the need for future residential, commercial, industrial and institutional lands in the Municipality based on the more current population and housing trends and the major developments that are currently proposed in the Municipality. The GMS intended to address the PPS requirement to provide at least a ten year supply of lands for these purposes and to take into consideration. Opportunities for infill and intensification within the existing urban fabric were examined and specific plans for infiil developments were prepared, City of Guelph Meridian is leading a Growth Management Study in the City of Guelph to determine how large the City should be, how fast it should grow and what form that growth should take, while examining the social, environmental and financial Implications. Meridian's role in the Growth Management Study encompasses: urbanMetrics Inc. maker, economic and strategic advisors Niagara Falls Growth Management Official Plan Review defining expected residential growth and employment pressures facing the City and the surrounding region over the next thirty years; identifying the major requirements of growth in terms of land supply and infrastructure requirements; and, developing a detailed strategy to implement the preferred growth option, ensuring that it includes growth management policies consistent with Places to Grow, such as urban growth boundaries and phasing, intensification, criteria for well- designed Greenfield developments and measures to protect natural areas. Meridian is also involved in identifying alternative urban form and density options that will be considered to address growth and future land needs. City of Greater Sudbury The Official Plan Review in Sudbury began with a series of nine technical background studies conducted to establish an understanding of the current situation, to provide information to assist in the achievement of the City's objectives and to recommend directions with respect to policy and the Official Plan. From that background work an analysis of the land use and settlement options was conducted and summarized In the Synthesis /Land Use and Settlement Report. The Synthesis /Land Use and Settlement Report was essential to understand the amount and nature of demand for residential and employment land that may be expected in the future. Our work involved determining whether existing urban boundaries were capable of accommodating the anticipated growth over the twenty year time frame, For the residential land needs, population projections were prepared under different scenarios and the supply of land available for residential use was calculated. The calculation of the need for employment lands was done in manner consistent with the calculation of land required for residential purposes. It was determined that there was an excess supply of land under all the demand scenarios. Overall, it was determined that the City would be able to accommodate growth over the next twenty years without requiring the designation of new urban expansion areas or additional employment lands. urbanMetrics inc. market economic and strategic advisors Niagara Falls Growth Management Official Plan Review 5.3 R.V. Anderson City of Guelph Cost of Sustainable Services Study Transportation Asset Management Plan RVA was retained to provide the City's Environment and Transportation Group with an Initial assessment of the inventory and valuation of the City's water, wastewater, and storm water assets, in order to quantify the investment required to sustain the systems over the next 100 years. Strategic assumptions about the development of infrastructure with regards to age, based on population growth, and deterioration, based on assumed life expectancies, were applied to the inventory data to develop life cycle cost profiles for each asset group. These costs were compared to current revenues (existing water and sewer rates capital plans) to determine the extent to which financial adjustments would need to be made to achieve sustainable levels of investment. RVA was retained in 2004 to update the sustainable service reports for the water and wastewater systems, to reflect the current inventory. RVA was retained to prepare an asset management plan for the roads, bridges, streetlights, traffic signals, and sidewalks in the City of Guelph. The study identified the current condition and projected investment required for the City to maintain their transportation infrastructure over the life cycle of the assets, based on a standard rehabilitation and reconstruction strategies. This was compared to the existing investment program, and recommendations were made to bring the program to a sustainable funding level. County of Oxford Ingersoll and Woodstock East End Servicing Studies RVA was retained by the County of Oxford to identify servicing requirements for parcels of land in the vicinity of Ingersoll and Woodstock. Water, wastewater, transportation, municipal servicing, and stormwater management infrastructure needs were assessed for the Ingersoll servicing study in order to provide costs required for development of the land. The Woodstock East End Servicing Study included water supply and wastewater servicing for new development In Woodstock, including servicing for the new Toyota Assembly Plant. City of London Sanitary Sewerage Servicing Study RVA, in conjunction with Stanley Associates Engineering Ltd. and C.N. Watson Associates Ltd., analyzed the implications of a number of different growth scenarios on the City of London's wastewater infrastructure, as part of the 50 -Year Servicing Master Plan, RVA forecast the work required to accommodate the anticipated 50 -year growth at the City's 6 sewage treatment plants and 30 pumping stations, and developed short, medium and 50 year high -level costing scenarios. urbanMetrics Inc. market economic and strategic advisors Niagara Falls Growth Management Official Plan Review 5.4 McCormick Rankin Region of Waterloo Growth Management Strategy Transit Corridor Investigations MRC was part of a multi discipline team that undertook a strategic assessment of land use options and transportation supply demand associated with a proposed transit corridor.
