Correspondence from Peter F. Smith, Bousfields Inc. ALL SAINTS ANGLICAN CId~II~~~E~~s'r.1~, Ci~< i i.51 In our meetings with City Plauning staff last year, our All Saints Committee of 7 were representing the nearly 90 people who call our church their spiritual home. Of these, 6 are temporarily attending Christ Church while they eagerly await the re-opening of All Saints. The remainder of our people are not attending any other church, preferring to wait for our very traditional type of service. With our smaller numbers and church, newcomers have found it very weicoming. We are the only Anglican church that, at the time of our temporary closing, was actually growing. We had attracted a number af younger couples with their children, resulting in our having ±he second youngest congregation in the city, as well as having the second largest Sunday School. The children can hardly wait to return to their three excellent teachers. We also happen to be the only Anglican Church in the south end of the city. The church's finances are in a very healthy state_ In the last few years we have spent over $24,000 to update and renovate the building. A consulting engineer and his crew went over the church with a fine tooth comb and declared it in first class order. With regu}ar maintenance, it could last for hundreds of years. The Bishop state.d, at our last meeting with him in April, that he "WOULD LIKE TO SEE US RETURNING TO ALL SAINTS TO WORSHII' ON A REGULAR BASIS." Taking him at his word, and treating the closure as temporary, the congregation has stayed together, meeting bi-monthly for a meal, fellowship and an update on progress towards our return to worshipping at All Saints. VJe were, however, taken aback wIten he agreed to the designatton of the outside of the church as well as the interior featuresrecommended to beprotected under the Ontario Heritage Act, but with the significant exclusion of the magnificent 150 year old oak pews. Without the pews, wluch are one of the glories of the building, how could we return to regular worship? If you checked, you would fir?d that he has asked no other church in the diocese to tear out pews! Interestingly, one of the last updates we did was to provide beautifully made cushions for all of the pews, in memory of recently lost loved ones. Those who provided ttie money wili be devastated. Hoping that he would reconsider this unusual request, we carried on as a church with our outreach program, transporting food, on t1~e average 3 or 4 times a week, between the Tourist industry to the east and the YWCA Shelter for Wamen to the west. As well, we have contributed substantially to the Out-of-the-Cold program to save it from its threatened closing, it being one of the main mission works of our three sister Anglican churches. over ~ 0 0 N ~1~6s ' ~n ~n o ~n o ~n o ~n a°'o m a~, ~eua[~i ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ va ~ » r' c ~ , ~ a~ m , . c u~~ En h u> .o ~ ua' c~ i~it c~m paso ,.t~{ ~'c~ . cu c~ c~ as a c~ ~ ro . ~ v~ ~sr 3 v~ fn rrs v~ n~ ~s ~a~`~ u~ o 0 0 0 0 ~ o 0 0 0 0 °o 0 - ~~a~_~.~! r N N N N N f~ tt N ef N er M O ~ ER fA 69 EA b4 69 ER (A 69 Ef} fH ER fA N 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ..~j(!J~ ' N N N N N ~ V N V N m O _ K3 64 (fl ER fH V3 EA lfl fR ffl EH tn N N a~'p C~~ ~ O O O O O O O O O O O O p O p O Fj~~,4~..='i~~ N M M M M M~ tf M d' M c"') M O N ,[fl V-T EA tA 64 (fl ffl 64 ER ER 64 64 fA N.

This properiy is now zoned Tourist Commercial and since the Fallsview area is a tourist area, why would the zoning be changed to build two 6 ~ - slurey residential apartment buildings. We have been informed that the existing By-law in this azea states that aparhnent buildings are not to be over 4 s[oceys high. There are hvo existing apartment buildings in this azea, one on McLeod Road across the sheet &om the subject land, the other further west on McLeod Road (2) whieh is curren[ly under construction. The fvst building (1) is an apartment building and is 4 storeys high and the second (2) building, under constmetion, is a condominium tu~it and is also 4 storeys high. There is no way this Zoning By-law should be amended to allow Napev Cons[ruction Limiled to build apartment buildings on this Tourist Commercial zoned land, let alone two 6 storey apartment buildings. If these proposed apartment buildings are built, the extra number of vehicles involved with 150 dweiling units will cause traffic havoc on MeLeod Road. It is difficult enough now to turn East or West on MeLeod Road from Alex Street. What wil] the traffic be like wi[h all of these added apartmen[ vehicles. What wil] happen to the properties that back on to the subject ]and7 There aze now existing flower beds, beautiful mature trees, bird feeders, ete. which are maintained by residents living on Deerbrook Sheet. There is an abundance of wildtife on the subject property all year mund. Will this all have to be destroyeA? If any of the Council members lived on Deerbrook Street, l'm sure this proposed Zoning By-law Amendment would defini[ely be rejec[ed. We cannot attend the meeting conceming [his Zoning By-law Amendment but trust that o[her residents of Deerbrook Street will be present to voice their disapproval.

RECEIVED Ctti:n~~`s J V~C'S 5726 Deerbrook Street, JAN 2 9 Z0~$ Niagara Falls, Ontario L2G 7V7 PLANNING January 28, 2008. & DEVELOPMENT Director of Planning and Development, City HaII, 4310 Queen Street, Niagara Falls, Ontario L2E 6X5 Regarding City File: AM-33/2007 Dear Director of Planning and Development, I am writing to express my opposition to the Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendment Application City File: AM-33/2007 to build two six storey apartment buildings. No Public Information Meeting Firstly, if a developer wants public support for a zoning change then there needs to be a public information meeting so that he can explain why the zoning change is required. In the absence of any information regarding why the developer wants to build six storey buildings near my house on a lot zoned for 4 storeys, then I must oppose it, My wife and I did not oppose the same developePs rezoning ofthe neighboring ]ot (AM- 35/2005) because there is no housing near the taller of the two buildings, and in that siteplan the proposed building nearest to our housing is 4 storeys. Unfortunate Precedent If you allow a 6 storey apartment right next to housing at this location (AM-33/2007), then every developer along McLeod will want the same. Conditional Zoning I am concerned that zoning amendments can be abused. What happens if the developer's zoning application is accepted and he does not go ahead and build? Rezoning can affect the value of the land and also the value of surrounding land. Plus, in future years another developer may say the ]and is zoned for 6 storeys, but he wants eight storeys. From six to eight storeys does not seem so much, but eight is twice the 4 we started with. To prevent abuse of the system, I suggest that zoning changes should always be conditional to the project going ahead in the form that it was proposed at the time the zoning was changed. If the project does not go ahead, then the zoning should revert to what it was previously. I / hilA„FRt1~iLERK~'~,JB!1~1i 17~~~ BOUSFI ELDS iNC. Project No, 0323 February 11, 2008 Mayor Ted Salci and Members of Council City of Niagara Falls 4310 Queen Street P.O. Box 1023 Niagara Falls, Ontario L2E 6X5 Dear Mr. Mayor and Members, Re: Comments on Report PD-2008-12 Official Plan Amendmeni Application AM-30/2004 East of Kalar Road, south of Mountain Road As you know, we are planning consultants for 621209 Ontario Limited with respect to their lands located on the west side of Kalar Road, north and south of Mountain Road, which are proposed to be developed for a destination experience encompassing the "Best of Niagara", including vineyards, a winery, a championship 18-hole golf course, seasonal entertainmenUcultural experiences and high quality residential accommodations. The lands are located directly opposite the lands which are the subject of Application AM-30/2004. On behalf of our client, we wish to advise that we are in support of the Official Plan Amendment and urban boundary expansion as proposed in Application AM-30/2004. As you know, our client is proposing an additional small urban boundary expansion of 12 hectares (30 acres) in two pockets on the west side of Kalar Road, intended for clustered golf villa units as part of its comprehensive development proposal. In July 2007, we filed a Planning Brief (copies available) in support of our clienYs proposal identifying the strategic location of the subject property given its Gateway location and the corresponding opportunity to develop a high-quality, agri-tourism related use, including residential cluster units as a component of the overall master planned development. As well, we identified the unique attributes of the subject lands (i.e. Niagara Escarpment, views to Lake Ontario, etc.) that would distinguish them from other lands which could be potentially be considered for urban boundary expansions to accommodate more typical forms of urban development over the planning horizon. We have reviewed Staff Report PD-2008-14 and we wish to advise that we are generally in agreement with the staff recommendation and planning analysis as set out therein. In particular, we note that there is agreement that an expansion to the urban boundary will be required at some point in the future and that, regardless of the nominal agricultural land capability, existing uses and fragmentation will make it difficult to ensure the protection of lands within the northwest quadrant for agricultural production over the long term. It should be noted that previous uses of land within the NCLG application area included the 55 acre Cupolo Sports Park which operated for years as a slo-pitch and golf driving range facility. 3 Church St., #200, Toronto, ON M5E 1M2 T 416-947-9744 F 416-947-0781 www.bousfields.ca ~ ~ BOUSFIELDS iNC.
