NEW BUSINESS PBD-2013-75 Niagarafalls November 26, 2013 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2013-75 Fence By-law Minor Variance 4095 Drummond Road Applicant: Roger Barthe RECOMMENDATI N That the decisio f the Chief Buildi fficial to grant a variance to the Fence By-law, dated Septa er 9, 2013 be up d. That the fence at 4095 Drummond Road be brought into compliance with the city's Fence By-law. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A fence was constructed in the front yard of the property in question whereby three panels were added to an existing fence. Two of the three panels are compliant with the maximum 1m height for fences in front yards however the third panel has been constructed higher. The third panel, a transition between the two fence heights, is constructed at 1.58m thus being .58m above the permitted height. The owner applied for a variance to permit the higher parcel as permitted by the Fence By-law. Staff conducted a site inspection on September 6, 2013 and found that the sight lines are not blocked by the height of the fence, therefore not posing a safety hazard. A minor variance was granted on September 9, 2013 subject to two conditions; first that the fence posts be cut down to the height of the fence panel (1 m) so that the height of the fence cannot be increased in future and second that the plantings be trimmed to a height no greater than the fence panel. The decision of the variance has been appealed by the neighbouring property, as permitted by the Fence By-law thus making Council the final decision making body. BACKGROUND The City's Fence By-law No. 2005-70 delegates the authority to grant minor variances to the Chief Building Official. The by-law does not define what constitutes a minor variance. Nonetheless, after making a decision on a minor variance request "anyone who has an interest in the minor variance request may appeal the decision to Council within thirty (30) days after the decision is given." On September 4, 2013, the owner of 4095 Drummond Road submitted written correspondence to the Building Services Division requesting consideration of a minor variance to the City of Niagara Falls Fence By-law to permit a portion of fence to remain November 26, 2013 -2 - PBD-2013-75 as had been recently constructed. The Chief Building Official attended the site the following day with the Manager of By-law Services at which time the portion of the fence in question was measured and investigated for potential impacts of the fence on the neighbouring environment. After consideration of the situation and the impacts on the neighbouring property, the request for minor variance was granted by the Chief Building Official on September 9, 2013 (see attached Notice of Fence By-law minor variance). In order to take into consideration potential impacts on drivers exiting the neighbouring driveway the Chief Building Official stipulated the following conditions under which the variance was to be granted: 1. The two (2) fence posts on either side of the panel closest to the street shall be trimmed down to match the height of the panel as constructed, thus eliminating the ability for the fence to be constructed higher than the current approval. 2. Any plantings adjacent to the subject fence, beyond those that existed at time of inspection shall be required to be maintained at a height that does not exceed the height of the fence as permitted by the variance. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The Minor Variance was issued by the Chief Building Official with the following rationale in justification of its issuance: 1. Two (2) of the three (3) panels of fence that were in question are in compliance with the By-law with respect to maximum height in the front yard. 2. The third panel in question is raised to a height greater than the other two(2) panels to provide an aesthetic transition between the two (2) low panels and the adjacent full height panel on the opposite side. 3. The third panel is .58m higher than the permitted height however has little impact with regard to vision as there is landscaping on the opposite side of the fence panel that would obstruct vision even if the fence was lowered to the permitted height. 4. The location and size of the two (2) lower panels allow almost a full vehicle length of space prior to the sidewalk to allow vehicles leaving the adjacent driveway vision of any oncoming pedestrians on the sidewalk. 5. Drummond Road only permits one way traffic in this area and as such focusses any drivers attention to the opposite direction when pulling out of the driveway in question. In accordance with the Fence By-law,the required notification of consideration of the minor variance was submitted to the neighbouring property owner whereby they were explained their rights for appeal under provision of the Fence By-law. By way of correspondence from Brian Wilcox Professional Corporation, acting on behalf of the owner of 4079 Drummond Road and received on October 8, 2013, the office of the Chief Building Official has been notified of their intent to appeal the decision to grant the requested minor variance. November 26, 2013 -3 - PBD-2013-75 In correspondence both Mr. Wilcox as well as the property owner of 4079 Drummond Road identify the concern for safety to view oncoming vehicle traffic in addition to pedestrian traffic. These concerns were considered in making the decision to grant the variance. The above stated rationale clarifies the thinking with regard to safety. The request for appeal also indicates a concern with plantings which were added after the inspection on September 5, 2013. The conditions of the variance are such that they will limit the height of any plantings planted after the initial inspection date giving reason for the landscaping to be maintained at a height consistent with the height of the approved fence. CONCLUSION While the Chief Building Official has been provided the authority through the Fence By-law to issue minor variances to the prescribed regulations, there exists a need for the Chief Building Official to issue such variances based on sound judgement. After review of the situation created by the presence of the fence, through the provided rationale, it was determined that the fence in question adds to the aesthetic appeal of the property and the neighbourhood while presenting no significant impact to the safety of the surrounding area. The existing landscaping on and around the property on which the fence is located presents far more significant impacts to sight lines than that of the constructed fence. Therefore, it is respectfully recommended that the September 9, 2013 decision to issue the requested minor variance made by the Chief Building Official be upheld.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2013-60 Lundy's Lane Battlefield Gateway Design Preliminary Battlefield Park Master Plan RECOMMENDATION 1. That the presentation from IBI Group on the Lundy's Lane Battlefield Gateway design be received, and further 2. That staff and the consultant be directed to work with the Lundy's Lane BIA to establish and acceptable "Welcome to Lundy's Lane" feature in addition to or in conjunction with the Gateway Project, and further 3. That staff advance the Public Tender for construction and confirm the external funding partnerships for consideration in the 2014 Capital Budget. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY For the past year the project Steering Committee has been working on refining a design for this legacy project for the Bicentennial on July 25, 2014. This iconic feature will assuredly create a sense of arrival both locally and nationally for this historic Battlefield Site as well as Lundy's Lane. The Committee recommends and approves the Gateway Feature design and desires to have it constructed and completed this Spring 2014, in time for the City's Bicentennial War commemoration ceremony. The purpose of this report is to approve the recommendation of the project Steering Committee and to direct staff to advance the next steps in the process. BACKGROUND The Battle of Lundy's Lane (also known as the Battle of Niagara Falls) took place on July 25`" 1814. It has been declared one of the bloodiest battles of the war, and one of the deadliest battles ever fought on Canadian soil. In the fighting at the Battle of Lundy's Lane the British sustained 84 killed, 559 wounded, 193 missing, and 42 captured. American losses numbered 173 killed, 571 wounded, 38 missing, and 79 captured. In commemoration of the Bicentennial of the War of 1812, and more specific to Niagara Falls the pivotal Battle of Lundy's Lane, this Gateway Feature project has been identified as the preferred legacy project for the Bicentennial anniversary. November 26, 2013 - 2 - MW-2013-60 A committee was formed in 2012, comprised of City staff, local historians, community stakeholders, the Main and Ferry BIA, Lundy's Lane BIA, and Heritage Consultants (refer to attachment#1)to commemorate the Bicentennial War of 1812 with a legacy project, the Gateway Feature, and furthermore to develop an updated Master Plan for the Battlefield Site. The Design for the proposed Lundy's Lane Battlefield Gateway Feature encompasses a number of symbolic elements associated with the War of 1812, the Battle of Lundy's Lane, and its integration as part of this overall site: • silhouettes of soldiers in conflict, cannon, cannon balls. • the shape of the gateway feature peaks in the form of a 'hill' which symbolizes the high point of this site location • the two (2) support columns are purposely made to appear 'robust' and will have engravings on them; dates, images, recognition wording, years of peace between countries, and historical war facts. • transition into the north and south sides of the site will be small pedestrian areas for seating with the use of red geraniums as a reference to Ruth Redmond's red geraniums and her admiration for the 'boys' of the war. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE After an extensive review of proposals and concepts the Steering Committee preferred to engage IBI Group to assist in the development of a unique design. Their presentation is included as Attachment #2. Although the feedback during the process has been varied we have developed a consensus on which concept to recommend to Council. The Lundy's Lane BIA have recently expressed some concerns regarding the need to emphasize the entranceway to the business district but have agreed that it needs to be done in a meaningful but respectful way. Their comments are outlined in their letter of November 13, 2013 (refer to attachment #3). FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS At this point staff have been guided by the budget provisions approved in the 2013 Capital Works program ($300,000) however the actual cost of the preferred design may exceed this amount depending on material costs at the time of tender. Once these tender prices are known and contributions from external funding sources confirmed staff will report back to Council for their further direction. Given the need to complete this work on time for the planned celebration of the 2014 Bicentennial, pre-approval of this Capital project may be necessary. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The recommendations contained in this report are consistent with Council's Strategic Priorities; promote awareness and opportunities for active living by providing accessible recreational facilities and green space for Niagara Falls residents, and, actively pursue economic development opportunities such as authentic eco and heritage tourism opportunities.

As you are aware, right from the get-go,the LLBIA has been fully supportive of the initiative to construct a Gateway Structure and Parkette to commemorate the Historic Battle of Lundy's Lane. With our contribution of$150,000, the LLBIA entered into a partnership with the City of Niagara Falls with the understanding that this was going to be a project in the range of$1.5 million and was to include an overhead pedestrian walkway and 'Welcome to Lundy's Lane'sign. To see the project budget scaled back to the $300,000 range, with the LLBIA being the only cost sharing partner, is quite disheartening. At the November 13, 2013 meeting of the Lundy's Lane BIA Board of Directors, the Board was informed that neither the overhead pedestrian walkway nor the 'Welcome to Lundy's Lane' sign were included in the renderings brought to the Gateway Committee for approval. To say the least,the LLBIA Board was not pleased to learn that the initial pitch to create a 'Welcome to Lundy's Lane' Gateway into the Lundy's Lane BIA was no longer the impetus of this project. As the main and only cost sharing partner, the LLBIA Board is firm that the 'Welcome to Lundy's Lane'feature be prominently included. The LLBIA Board is therefore requesting that the City of Niagara Falls 'confirm'that the IBI Group will be directed to add such a feature to a part of the Gateway Structure (span or column ), or directly in front of the north-east side of the structure,that will clearly depict'Welcome to Lundy's Lane'and be visible to westbound traffic. Should the IBI Group feel that this can not be achieved on or in front of the Gateway Structure,the LLBIA will consider as to how'Welcome to Lundy's Lane' can be integrated into the north- west corner of Lundy's Lane and Main Street.The Board will also like assurances in writing that this feature will be in place for the Official Unveiling of the Gateway in June 2014 and that the LLBIA Board be partner to the final 'sign-off'of the design. This request by the LLBIA Board is in line with the position taken by the LLBIA Members of the Gateway Committee and agreed upon at the Gateway Meeting of November 6,2013.The Lundy's Lane BIA is open to suggestions as to how this can be accomplished and will be available in any capacity to see this request through to fruition. Please feel free to contact me at any time.

X m -o 0 X y F-2013-68 Niagarafalls November 26, 2013 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F-2013-68 OLG Update RECOMMENDATION That Council authorize staff to develop a Capital Reserve Fund for the enhanced revenues generated by the OLG Municipality Contribution Agreement. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Niagara Falls approved a new Municipality Contribution Agreement with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG). This new agreement increases the City's hosting fees from $3.0M annually to potentially $20.0M annually. Currently, the City is partially through the initial year of the agreement and is unable to predict with certainty the total revenues that will be received. As a result, staff has recommended that no spending commitments be made until the end of the initial year. The initial year of the agreement will end March 31, 2014. The agreement requires OLG provide a reconciliation after the year end which staff expect late in April 2014. This report was requested by Council so as to provide Council an opportunity to provide input on potential utilization for the enhanced revenues. To facilitate these discussions, staff has identified opportunities and are seeking Council feedback on these and others that may be the best use of the funds. Staff is recommending that Council establish a new OLG Capital Reserve Fund for the enhanced revenues received under the agreement. This Reserve Fund will provide Council with enhanced reporting and transparency on the receipts and uses of the hosting agreement revenues. It should be noted that the enhanced revenues are the incremental increases above those previously received under earlier agreements. The previous hosting agreement between the City and OLG resulted in funding of $3.0M which was used as a levy reduction in the City's Operating Budget. Similarly, the OLG and Niagara Regional Police Service (NRPS) had a previous agreement on policing costs that was discontinued with the new hosting agreement. At present, the City is engaged in discussions with the NRPS in respect to the policing agreement. November 26, 2013 -2 - F-2013-68 BACKGROUND In September 2013, Council approved the Municipality Contribution Agreement with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG). This agreement provides a hosting fee to the municipality for the two casinos located in Niagara Falls. The agreement, while signed in September 2013, is retroactive to April 2013. The funding period is consistent with the Province's fiscal year, specifically April 2013 and concluding March 31, 2014. Payments, based on a percentage of gaming revenues, are received by the City each quarter. OLG is required to provide a full reconciliation of the funds at the conclusion of its fiscal year which will be completed in late April of each year. Staff recommended that Council defer decisions on the use of funds received under this agreement until a full year has concluded. Council requested a report outlining staff's recommendations for the use of the anticipated funds, as well as a reporting framework for the funds received. The purpose of this report provides Council with an update on these two requests. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The hosting agreement provides the municipality with a significant revenue increase from the previous agreement which was established in 1998 when Casino Niagara opened. Under the previous agreement, the municipality originally received $2.6 million and has, over time, increased to $3 million annually. In addition, OLG provided the Niagara Regional Police Service with additional funding of $4.2 million annually for enhanced policing in the area of the Casino and tourist area. The new Municipality Contribution Agreement is the same as agreements recently signed between the OLG and other municipalities that host casino properties, in that the agreements are only with the local municipality and the OLG. As a consequence, the City of Niagara Falls has been charged with the responsibility to address policing directly. Staff was requested to provide guidance to Council in respect to the reporting of the hosting agreement funds and to provide a list of opportunities for us of the funding. Discussions with the NRPS continue, as of the writing of this report. Anticipated Funding Levels The City does not know, at this time, the total revenue that will be generated in the initial year by the new agreement. This will be known sometime in April 2014, after OLG provides a full accounting and reconciliation to the City. Based on the discussions with OLG and the monies received to date, an estimated total in the range of$19 - $21 million is reasonable. • November 26, 2013 -3 - F-2013-68 Opportunities for Use a) Tax Relief Council has already committed $3 million to the operating budget. This amount has been included in the previous year's budget ($2.6 million in 2008 and prior years). The inclusion of this amount in general revenues of the Annual Operating Budget has resulted in a benefit to property owners, since the inception of the original agreement. The use of these revenues, in this manner, has reduced the Annual Tax Levy each year since its inception. Unfortunately, the new agreement, unlike the previous one, is not guaranteed for a fixed term. Thus, the inclusion of any greater amount than the $3 million is exposing the City to potential taxation risk in future years. b) Niagara Falls Hospital Reinvestment The Province has undertaken a review of future hospital locations within the Southern Tier of the Niagara Peninsula. The preferred site is located in Niagara Falls. Under Ministry of Health guidelines, the local municipality is required to provide 10% of the capital costs of the hospital. In most other municipalities, the municipality creates a special levy for these costs. In the case of Niagara Falls, there is an opportunity to set aside a percentage of the hosting funds for this use. It is estimated that the City of Niagara Falls' commitment toward the hospital will be $20 to $22 million. c) Capital Asset Reinvestment City staff has indicated, at numerous times, that the biggest challenge facing the City is the need for increased funding to replace the City's existing infrastructure. The additional funding provided in the hosting agreement provides an opportunity to increase the reinvestment in infrastructures. At the present time, the City is engaged in finalizing a Capital Asset Management Plan. This plan will provide an overview of the main infrastructure assets, conditions, and future funding estimates. It is staff's recommendation that the use of this funding in this area is a priority. This capital plan will be presented to Council prior to April 2014 and will provide an improved estimate of the funding required to maintain the City's infrastructure d) Economic Development Initiatives Staff recognizes that the new Municipality Contribution Agreement changes the formula for the City's revenue. In the previous agreement, the funding level was fixed at $3 million annually. In the new agreement, the funding amount is based on a percentage of the Casino operation's revenues. This new arrangement provides the municipality with an incentive to invest in economic development activities that will grow and maintain revenues at the gaming sights. Increasing the revenues at the casinos will increase the City's revenue under the agreement. As a result, staff believes that dedicating a portion of the annual funding amount to economic development initiatives that will enhance casino revenues should be considered. November 26, 2013 -4 - F-2013-68 e) Debt Deferral At present, the municipality approved capital projects in 2012 that require funding through debt issuance. Normally, the municipalities issue debt in the summer when the Region of Niagara performs its annual issue for itself and lower tier municipalities. In 2013, the City deferred borrowing on the projects, amounting to $3.9 million, pending the settlement of the hosting agreement. In addition, $2.5 million was approved in 2013 Capital projects. Consequently, there are $6.4 million in debentures scheduled to be issued. This scheduled borrowing identified above was approved based on the debt management strategy approved by Council wherein staff initiated a strategy to replace retiring debt with new debenture issues without any increase to the operating budget. If Council decides to utilize funds received from OLG to offset the required funding, as an alternative to debt, then there will be a positive offset to future operating budgets. However, Council should be aware of a "negative"to this. Notably, the City's investment in required capital work will not be increased because using the funding in this manner will be to for completed projects not additional work. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Unlike the previous hosting agreement, the new funding agreement covers the Province's fiscal year and not the City's fiscal year. As a consequence, staff has recommended and continue to recommend that Council defer any spending decisions on the enhanced revenues until a full year of the agreement has elapsed. This ensures Council will have complete information on the revenues received. To facilitate this course of action, staff recommends that all enhanced revenues received during the course of the initial year be transferred to a new reserve fund. This will ensure that staff can provide a separate account of all transactions for the revenues received under this agreement. If this course of action is agreed upon, a bylaw establishing the reserve fund will need to be approved at a future Council meeting. It should be clarified that the monies transferred to the reserve fund would be considered enhanced revenues. Enhanced revenues would be defined as the funds received above the amounts committed under prior agreements. Specifically, the monies identified in the Operating Budget of $3 million for levy relief and any funds negotiated with the NRPS would not be included in enhanced revenues. The chart below summarizes the determination of enhanced revenues. Capital Reserve Fund Total Funds received in agreement year (estimated) $ 20,000,000 Less: Operating Budget Levy Relief (3,000,000) Less: NRP amounts (to be negotiated) (4,200,000) estimate Estimated Enhanced Revenues $12,800,000 at Year End to be transferred to reserve November 26, 2013 -5 - F-2013-68 As discussed the enhanced funding would be dedicated to a reserve fund with the spending to be determined after the annual agreement period is completed. As Council is aware, staff has received two payments thus far under the new agreement. The Chart below identifies the funding received to-date and the approved commitments against the revenues. Hosting Revenues Received To Date First Quarter: July 2013 $ 6,433,923 Second Quarter: October 2013 5,596,501 Revenues received to Date $12,030,424 Less: Operating Budget Commitment (3,000,000) Less: NRP Commitment ( under review) (4,200,000) Enhanced Revenues received to Date $ 4,830,424 Pre Engineering Commitment (F-2013-54) (2,217,275) Available for Reserve Fund $ 2,613,149 as of November 15, 2013 As this latter chart illustrates, after two quarters the municipality has uncommitted funds of $2,613,149. Additional funding will be received in the first year of this agreement in January 2014 and April 2014. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Financial Sustainability Investment and Sustainability of City Infrastructure • 7 Recommended by: Todd Harrison, Director of Finance Respectfully submitted: Ke Todd, Chief Administrative Officer CD-2013-08 Niagara,Falls November 26, 2013 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Clerks Department SUBJECT: CD-2013-08 2014 Council Schedule RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the proposed 2014 Council Schedule. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A proposed 2014 Council schedule is submitted for Council's consideration. BACKGROUND Rule 2 of the Standing Rules of Council (By-law 89-155) state that " ...meetings of the Council shall be held in accordance" with a Schedule that forms part of the by-law. As a result, on an annual basis, a new schedule is put forward for Council's consideration for the upcoming calendar year. The approved 2013 Council schedule saw twenty (20), scheduled meetings. In 2012, Council had seventeen (17), scheduled meetings. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The determination of the proposed Council schedule is a balancing act of competing interests and priorities. Accommodating a Tuesday schedule needs to be balanced with the Cogeco schedule, if Council wishes all of their meetings to be televised live. Last year, Cogeco staff advised that Niagara Falls Council could go on Tuesdays if we avoided dates when Welland and Thorold Councils broadcast. Those respective Councils tend to have their meetings on the first and third Tuesdays of the month. As a result, staff has developed a schedule on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. The Thorold and Welland schedules also make it difficult to schedule a true tri-weekly schedule. The proposed 2014 schedule contemplates fifteen (15) meetings, with two additional, optional meetings, depending on necessity, and the inaugural meeting for next Council term. The two optional meetings (April 22 and June 24) will be determined at the call of the Mayor, on consultation with staff, and will go ahead if the amount of business warrants a meeting. November 26, 2013 -2 - CD-2013-08 As worked last year, the 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. portion of the agenda will, for the most part, deal with budget matters, until the budget is approved. The January 14, 2014-Council date is contemplated to be primarily related to the budget. Deputations and Planning meetings under the Planning Act will continue to be scheduled for 7:00 p.m. for convenience to the general public. As 2014 is an election year, there is a break in Council meetings during the month of October. There is one meeting scheduled after voting day. The inaugural meeting for the next Council will be determined in consultation with the Head of Council.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Clerks Department SUBJECT: CD-2013-09 Adult Entertainment Hearing, November 12 RECOMMENDATION That based on the recommendation of the Adult Entertainment Appeals Committee, the decision of the Issuer of Licences, in the revocation of a licence, be upheld. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Any revocation, suspension or refusal of a business licence allows for an appeal process. Under the City's Live Adult Businesses By-law, a committee of Council has the authority to hear appeals and make recommendations to Council. An appeal was heard on November 12, 2013 at City Hall. The appeal was as a result of the revocation (Revocation hearing) of a licence of an entertainer who had recently been charged under the Criminal Code. Revocations of licences automatically lead to a hearing before the committee. The hearing followed the provisions of the Live Adult Businesses By-law. Upon conclusion of the evidence, the committee made a decision and their recommendation is contained in the recommendation report for Council's approval. BACKGROUND City By-law 2002-197 (the "By-law"), is a by-law that provides for the licensing, regulating, governing, classifying and inspecting of body-rub parlours and a certain class of adult entertainment parlours. The City has an agreement with the Regional Municipality of Niagara Police Services Board delegating the administration, inspection, enforcement, licensing and regulating of adult entertainment parlours. The City maintains the administration, inspection, enforcement, licensing and regulating of body rub parlours. Under By-law 2002-197, the Issuer of Licence may revoke a licence if the continuing to hold a licence would infringe the rights or endanger the safety of one or more members of the public, as per section 19(2) of the by-law. An existing licensee, who has their licence revoked, automatically receives a hearing before the committee of Council. Upon conclusion of a hearing before the Committee, a written report shall, as soon as practical, be presented to Council. November 26, 2013 -2 - CD-2013-09 This report is a result of an appeal heard on November 12, 2013 at 3:30 p.m. in Committee Room #1, City Hall arising out of the revocation of an adult entertainer's license by the Issuer of Licences from the Police Services Board. Notice of the hearing was posted on the Committee section of the City's website. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Revocation Hearing The Issuer of Licences from the Police Services Board issued a recommendation to revoke the licence of an adult entertainer. The entertainer had been recently charged with two (2) counts of identity fraud, two (2) counts of attempted fraud under $5,000 and four (4) counts of personation with intent. In addition,the entertainer made inculpatory statements to the Issuer of Licences that she has worked as a prostitute. The entertainer, who lives in Toronto, did not attend the hearing or make representations despite attempted contact by the Issuer of Licences. Although the charges are not convictions at this time, with no contrary evidence, the committee voted to recommend upholding the Issuer of Licences' decision to revoke the licence. The Issuer of Licences recommended the revocation of licences under the following grounds under the By-law: 19(2)(g): the past or present conduct of the applicant or of anyone or more of the persons referred to in paragraph(b) of this subsection affords reasonable grounds for belief that the carrying on of the business in respect of which the licence is sought would infringe the rights, or endanger the health or safety, of one or more members of the public; The decision by the Issuer of Licences to recommend revocation without a formal conviction was based on section 22 of the by-law: 22. In deciding whether to grant, refuse, revoke or suspend a licence, or allow a licence to continue subject to conditions, the Council may receive relevant evidence of and act upon, the fact that one or more persons have been convicted of an offence, but may also consider and act upon evidence of conduct, whether or not prohibited by this By-law or any other law, or which could be the subject matter of a charge under this By-law or any other law, whether or not any charge or conviction may have resulted or may in the future result, from such conduct. Based on the severity and nature of the charges and the lack of representation by the appellant,the Committee recommends thatthe decision of the Issuer of Licences to revoke the licence be upheld. Based on the Committee's recommendation, Council can uphold the revocation of the licences as per section 15(6)(d) of the By-law. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The hearing and recommendation report are in compliance with the provisions of the City's Live Adult Businesses By-law (2002-197, as amended).

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: F-2013-60 Cancellation, Reduction or Refund of Taxes Under Section 357 and 358 of The Municipal Act, 2001 RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the cancellation, reduction or refund of taxes on the various accounts per the attached summary and granted to the property owners listed. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Property owners are able to seek remedy from property assessments that are not accurate due to errors in preparation of the Assessment Roll or due to changes in specific circumstances. These remedies are available by virtue of s.357 and s.358 of The Municipal Act, 2001. This report is provided to Council periodically during the fiscal year to attain Council approval of the changes afforded under these sections. This is the second report for 2013. Adjustments totalling $176,863 are being recommended in this report with allocations to be made to City, Regional and School Board revenue. In the 2013 General Purposes Budget, an allowance has been established for these expenditures. At this time the allowance provided in the General Purposes Budget is adequate to account for the City's proportionate share of approximately $61 ,902. BACKGROUND This report is the second report this year in relation to s.357 and s.358 reductions. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Section 357 and 358 of The Municipal Act, 2001 provides for the cancellation, reduction or refund of taxes for persons who were overcharged by reason of any gross or manifest error in the preparation of the Assessment Roll.

I appreciate your concerns but can assure you that your matter is not being ignored. At our November 26th Council meeting, one of the reports to be considered is an annual report called the Cancellation, Reduction or Refund of Taxes. Section 357 and 358 of The Municipal Act, 2001 provides for the cancellation, reduction or refund of taxes for persons who were overcharged by reason of any gross or manifest error in the preparation of the Assessment Roll. The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation has confirmed that the subject properties were assessed incorrectly. The circumstances could have been the related building was demolished, a clerical error or in the case of your property, razed by fire. As you are aware, the proposed reduction in your case is$928.67. As part of the process,the City notifies the appellant of the reduction and the date of the Council meeting where Council will consider the staff report;therefore, I am aware of your request to speak to Council and can confirm that you will be allowed to address Council. Our meeting on Tuesday(Nov.26) is at 5:00 p.m. Having said that, I agree that it is probably appropriate for you to sit down with the pertinent Finance staff prior to the meeting, so the rationale for the reduction and related amount can be explained to you. In fairness to the Council members, at the meeting on Tuesday,they will want the Director of Finance to comment and they may be limited as to what they can legally do under the circumstances. I know Mr. Harrison,our Director of Finance, will be reviewing your file but has probably not had an opportunity as of yet. I am also aware that the staff in his Department that has the most knowledge on the file are away this week. I have copied the Finance staff and the Mayor's office. Hopefully, a meeting can be set up prior to Tuesday's Council meeting. Regardless, as mentioned, ultimately,you have the right to address Council related to the report. Once again, rest assured, staff is not ignoring you. Thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have any questions,feel free to contact me.

She couldn't do it, so she brought me over to the clerk's department where Teresa Fabbro told me to write down the request and my phone number and that she would get back to me about it. Anotonietta also assured me that she would have Todd Harrison phone me that afternoon to speak to me about the property taxes because he was unavailable to speak to me in person at the time. > I even went to the Mayor's office and asked the secretary to schedule me an appointment to speak with the Mayor, which she was very reluctant to do. However, I finally received an appointment for Wednesday November 27 at 1:30 pm, which I plan on attending even though that is the day after the Council Meeting. She also said that she would have Todd Harrison contact me. >Well it is now Thursday morning and I have not heard anything from anyone yet. I need to make arrangements if I am going to speak at the meeting, so I need to know as soon as possible if and when I am going to be placed on the agenda. Will someone please take responsibility and get back to me ASAP?! >Sincerely, > Gwen Vafaei 2 F-2013-61 Niagaraaalls November 26, 2013 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F-2013-61 Monthly Tax Receivables Report RECOMMENDATION That Council receive the Monthly Tax Receivables report for information purposes. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is prepared monthly to provide Council with an update on the City's property tax receivables. Outstanding taxes as of October 31, 2013 were $28.6 million compared to $27.8 million in 2012. During October, tax receivables as a percentage of taxes billed increased slightly from 16.6% in 2012 to 17.4% in 2013. The City's finance staff has had continued success in resolving properties that are subject to registration for 2013. At this stage, 90.3% of properties have developed payment arrangements or have paid in full. There are currently thirty-eight properties scheduled for tax sale in the next two years. BACKGROUND This report is being provided as part of the monthly financial reporting to Council by staff. It is also submitted to our banking institution for compliance with our banking agreement. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Tax collection for 2013 lags slightly behind the collectition history for 2012. Table 1 shows that taxes outstanding at October 31 , 2013 are $28.6 million. This represents an increase from $27.8 million in arrears for the same period in 2012. Finance staff continues to actively pursue property owners in arrears. Table 2 provides the breakdown of outstanding taxes by assessment class. The majority of outstanding taxes are for residential and commercial properties. The chart shows that the taxes owing from the commercial property class has decreased from a year ago, whereas the residential property class has increased. Finance staff takes specific collection actions for properties that are subject to registration. These action steps have been outlined in previous reports. At January 1 , 2013, 389 properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of these actions after ten months of activity. This table shows 90.3% of the tax accounts or 351 properties have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment arrangements. During October, five accounts were paid in full. In addition, the number of accounts with suitable payment arrangements including full payments increased from 89.2% (September) to 90.3% (October). November 26, 2013 -2 - F-2013-61 Finance staff continues to make every effort to have accounts paid in order to avoid the registration process and the associated costs related to that process. Table 4 identifies the properties and associated tax arrears scheduled for tax sales in the future. During the month of October, one registered property was redeemed and seven properties were registered. The outstanding taxes for registered properties represents 5.2% of the total outstanding taxes at month end. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Tax arrears as a percentage of taxes billed in a year is a performance measure that stakeholders utilize to analyse an organization's financial strengths. Niagara Falls, due to its high reliance on commercial assessment, is traditionally higher compared to municipalities of similar size. The percentage of taxes outstanding to taxes billed as at October 31 , 2013 is 17.4% which is an increase from 2012's value of 16.6%. The municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to offset the higher measure.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F-2013-62 Treasurer's Write Off Report RECOMMENDATION That the property tax accounts listed in Table 1 be written off and expensed in 2013. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Niagara Falls is responsible for billing and collecting property taxes on all assessable properties within the municipality. These annual billings include the annual taxes for the City, for the Region of Niagara and for the appropriate local school boards. The City is charged with the responsibility of collecting said amounts. From time to time the City is faced with the situation where tax collection options have been exhausted. Tax write offs totalling $30,140 are being recommended in this report with allocations to be made to City, Regional and School board revenue. The City's allowance for tax write offs has been budgeted and will be adequate to account for the City's proportionate share of $18,721 . BACKGROUND During 2011, The City's Finance Division conducted a number of tax sales. Tax sales are conducted as the final step after all other collection actions have been exhausted. As a part of the tax collection procedures, staff continues to actively pursue delinquent property owners who fail to pay the taxes for their property. In most cases, the property owner will pay the balance owing but in some cases a tax sale is required to resolve the outstanding taxes. Tax sales in 2011 relate to properties that were registered in 2009. During 2011, nine properties were scheduled for tax sales. Of this, five were paid in full before sale, two were paid as a result of the sale and two resulted in a failed tax sale. A failed tax sale is one in which no bidders provide a submission for the tendered price amount. The failed tax sale properties will become the City's property in 2012. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Section 354 (2) and 354 (3) of The Municipal Act, 2001 provides for the Treasurer of a local municipality to remove unpaid taxes from the tax roll and may write off taxes after an unsuccessful tax sale. November 26, 2013 -2 - F-2013-62 Section 354 (2) of The Municipal Act states that "The Treasurer of a local municipality shall remove unpaid taxes from the tax roll if, (a) the council of the local municipality, on the recommendation of the treasurer, writes off the taxes as uncollectible, or (b) the taxes are no longer payable as a result of tax relief under section 319, 345, 357, 358, 362, 364, 365, 365.1 or 365.2 or a decision of any court". Section 354 (3) of The Municipal Act states that "A local municipality may only write off taxes under clause (2)after an unsuccessful tax sale under PART XI and may at that point write off the taxes whether or not the property vests in the municipality under that Part". Since City properties are not subject to property taxation, the City must write off taxes owing. Similarly, the Region and School Board taxes are written off and adjusted in the year end reconciliation with those bodies. Therefore, the properties listed in Table 1 should be written off. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS As stated, from time to time, staff will identify amounts that cannot be collected. The 2013 General Purposes Budget includes an allowance for taxes that are deemed uncollectible. Table 1 identifies an amount of $31,140 to be written off, includes amounts for the City, Region and School Boards. The actual City portion is $18,721 . The balance of$11,420 will be recovered from the Region and the School Boards. Once the property taxes are written off, staff will be able to vest the properties to avoid future taxation. Ownership of the properties listed will be subsequently reviewed and a decision will be determined as to whether the properties in question should be retained, or whether these should be deemed surplus land and subsequently sold.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2013-40 Niagara United Soccer Club - Scoreboard Agreement RECOMMENDATION 1) That the City of Niagara Falls enter into an agreement with the Niagara United Soccer Club (NUSC) for the use of a Scoreboard, and 2) That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to sign the agreement. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The NUSC received Council approval and committed funds in April 2012 for expenditures related to attract a Canadian Soccer League Team to the Kalar Sports Park. The funds were used specifically for bleacher seating for 700 people, the rental of a portable washroom & shower facility for Referees and for a Scoreboard. The addition of the bleachers and score board greatly enhanced the artificial turf field which is the City's premier playing field. The professional soccer team is now in its second season at the Kalar Sports Park. The Agreement and draft By-law is included in the Council Agenda package for consideration. BACKGROUND The NUSC applied and received funding from the Trillium Foundation for the purchase and installation of a Scoreboard. The Scoreboard was installed earlier this year and is now utilized by the NUSC and other user groups at the facility. As per the Trillium funding requirements, the Scoreboard will remain the sole property of the NUSC. However, as the Scoreboard is located on City property, an agreement between the two parties is required to delineate responsibilities. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The agreement requires that the NUSC (licensee) maintains the Scoreboard in good working order and proper repair. The cleaning or repair of the Scoreboard, if damaged, is at NUSC's sole expense. The agreement also states that NUSC will assume all liability and obligations for any and all loss, costs, damage or injury to person or property, in the form of$5,000,000 General Liability insurance coverage, naming the City as an additional insured. Further, the agreement states that all user groups will be allowed the use of the scoreboard in accordance with the City's policy (under review). The terms of the Agreement is 11 years, ending on November 16, 2023. November 26, 2013 -2 - MW-2013-40 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The agreement covers all legal obligations of NUSC and the City. NUSC will assume all liability and obligations for any and all loss, costs, damage or injury resulting from the use of the scoreboard. NUSC is further required to take out and keep enforced a Commercial General Liability insurance policy in the amount of $5,000,000, naming the City as an additional insured and pay the annual premium of $350,000 per annum.

That Council support the Niagara United Soccer Club's efforts to attract a professional soccer franchise and commit expenditures up to $57,600 (plus taxes) for operational improvements. And further, 2. That staff be directed to provide an update report on long term plans to expand the operation and address outstanding issues regarding parking, lighting, access and field utilization for other community groups. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Niagara Untied Soccer Club recently announced their plans to field a men's first division Canadian Soccer League Team using the City's Kalar Sports Park facility as their home field. The inaugural home game is scheduled for Saturday May 26, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. Given the time lines to prepare the field, Council is being requested to authorize the purchase of additional amenities (such as bleacher seating, score clock, referee facilities). Municipal Works staff have been working closely with the executive of the Niagara United Soccer Club (NUSC) to accommodate their plans to improve operations at this facility in their effort to attract a professional soccer franchise. The purpose of this report is to inform Council of these requests and to seek direction as to the extent of the City's commitment to this venture. Staff are supportive of this initiative but are concerned about the tight schedule to implement some of the needed changes. BACKGROUND Staff have met on a preliminary basis over the past four weeks to discuss the NUSC proposal. On April 12, 2012 NUSC hosted a media release which provides additional background information (see attachment 1). April 24, 2012 - 2 - MW-2012-26 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The amenities requested by NUSC are park features that would be required at this facility at some point in the future to address the growing demand and utilization of this park by various sports groups. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS While NUSC is covering the majority of the costs there are some facility enhancements that will need to be in place as a condition of being awarded a franchise. NUSC has requested the City's financial assistance with the following items; Portable Washroom & Shower Facilities for Referees $3,350 (Rental) Bleacher Seating (seats 700) $31,750 Score Clock *$22,500 Total $57,600 (City's share of Trillium Grant request submitted by NUSC) While these investments may not have been priorities for the Council in this years's budget staff recognize that this equipment may be required at some time in the future. Staff have been advised that these facilities must be in place in time for their home opener tentatively scheduled for May 26, 2012. Staff have been working through the NUSC and various suppliers to secure quotations should Council wish to proceed. Funding for this project will require pre-approval of the attached budget sheet and will be accommodated in the 2012 Capital Budget. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Implementation of the recommendations in this report meets the intent of Council's Strategic Priorities by providing opportunities for active living and promoting a healthy and safe community.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2013-59 Emergency Repairs Buttrey Street Sewer Outfall RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council retain Hatch Mott MacDonald as the consultant for this project to complete the engineering investigation and design of the emergency repairs to the Buttrey Street Storm Outfall, and further 2. That Council approve adding this project to the 2013 Capital Program and amend the previously approved Capital Budget. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On October 21, 2013, City staff were contacted by the Parks Commission and were informed that there had been significant damage to a storm sewer outfall at the bottom of the gorge near Buttrey Street. It is believed that this damaged occurred during the storm events in July and August 2013. On October 25, 2013, City and Parks Commission staff conducted a site visit to assess the damage to the storm sewer outfall. Upon review, it was found that the structural integrity of the outfall has been significantly compromised. The damage that has occurred is concerning as the board walk for the White Water Walk passes directly over this outfall and uses the top of the structure to support the board walk. Temporary measures have been taken to ensure the board walk is structurally stable. City staff are looking to engage the services of Hatch Mott MacDonald to investigate the cause of the damage and find a solution. The purpose of this report is to commence the engineering design immediately so that remedial repairs or replacement of this outlet structure can be tendered and completed before the re-opening of the attraction in the Spring of 2014. The design work outlined in this report is an addition to the 2013 Capital Budget with funding of$90,000 provided from the Sewer Capital Reserve account. November 26, 2013 -2 - MW-2013-59 BACKGROUND The original storm outfall was constructed in the 1920's and was designed as a sewer outlet to the Niagara River. This outfall drained the area of Niagara Falls known as Silver Town. Over the years as the sewer network was separated and expanded additional connections have been made to the outfall. In its current configuration, the outfall still drains Silver Town and is the overflow for both the Muddy Run pumping station and the High Rate Treatment Facility. On October 21, 2013, City staff were contacted by the Parks Commission and were informed that there had been significant damage to a storm sewer outfall at the bottom of the gorge near Buttrey Street. It is believed that this damaged occurred during the storm events in July and August 2013. On October 25, 2013, City and Parks Commission staff conducted a site visit to assess the damage to the storm sewer outfall. Upon review, it was found that the structural integrity of the outfall has been significantly compromised. The top of the structure and the north wall have been sheared from the base and displaced approximately 0.45m north. This can be seen in Figures 1.0 and 2.0. ty -5 • e s ' 4 / 4 7 Figure 1.0 ,� A i $ Top of the Structure • tr { ,..' r,' u j A f M t: November 26, 2013 -3 - MW-2013-59 '94 , .� w . 7 & 1,� .� "'�� f �2" Figure 2.0 .tt i a t ' r;,,,,-... . �, ,.,..k= ' , North Side of the Structure 4 i y+: T t.): - fir. Given the extent of the damage and the difficulty of working down in the gorge, City staff consulted with Hatch Mott MacDonald to complete a field review and provide a proposal outlining the scope and schedule for the repair work. City, Parks Commission and Hatt Mott MacDonald staff, conducted a second site visit on November 8, 2013. During this visit it was determined that along with being displaced, there has also been significant structural damage to the north side of the structure. This can be seen in Figures 3.0 and 4.0. r � 4 Figure 3.0 � • .

At some point, a chamber was added to the end of the outfall to direct the flows underground to the river. It is believed this was done to keep any of the sewer debris/odour out of the site of the public visiting the White Water Walk. This can be seen in Figure 5.0. *K.

This was due to a combination of storm flows from Silver Town and the overflow from the Muddy Run pump station and the High Rate Treatment Facility. The new chamber that was added to the outfall would have restricted the flow, causing the system to back up. There are two possible causes that will be investigated to determine if they contributed to the damage done to the outfall. The first possible cause is, air became trapped in the sewer system and was put under extreme pressure due to the large flows. The structure was not able to withstand the increasing pressures and the resulting structural damage occurred. The second possibility, is that the damage was caused by the immense pressure created when the storm water backed up the vertical shaft of the outfall (approximately 80 m). The structure was not able to withstand the increasing pressure and the resulting structural damage occurred. In its current condition the outfall is not structurally sound and does not convey water as it was intended. Should another large storm event occur, further damage will be done which may result in a catastrophic structural failure of the outfall. A structural failure of the outfall structure will result in structural damage to the board walk above. If this was to occur while the White Water Walk was in operation, there could be injury to the public. The timeline for this project has been accelerated due to the outfall's location under the board walk. Hatch Mott MacDonald is looking at a two phase approach. Emergency repairs will be completed early in 2014 to make the outfall safe. This will allow the White Water Walk to open in spring 2014. The permanent solution will be designed in 2014 and constructed between November 2014 and April 2015. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The City of Niagara Falls does not have a Structural Engineer in their current staff complement. The outfall is located on the slope of the gorge between the vertical face and the river. The area is very rocky and covered with trees, making the working conditions extremely difficult. Special consideration will have to be given to the constructability of any proposed solutions. The window of time to complete the design and implementation of the repairs is very limited and requires immediate action to meet the April 2014 deadline. It is for these reasons that City staff are recommending retaining Hatch Mott MacDonald as the consultant for this project. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS This project is required due to an in year incident that was not foreseen at the time that the 2013 capital budget was approved. Hatch Mott MacDonald has submitted a proposal for $90,000 for the review and design of this project. Attached is a capital Project Budget November 26, 2013 -6 - MW-2013-59 Sheet for the design work. Staff recommend the expenditure be funded by the Capital reserve for sewers. Once the design work is completed, the construction phase of the project will be considered during the 2014 Capital Budget deliberations. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Implementation of this project meets the intent of Council's Strategic Priorities to establish infrastructure sustainability.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2013-69 Matters Arising from Municipal Heritage Committee RECOMMENDATION That Council direct staff to issue a Notice of Intention to Designate for the property at 5257 River Road, Niagara Falls under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The owner of 5257 River Road requested the property be designated and the Municipal Heritage Committee has determined that it meets the criteria in Regulation 9/06 of the Ontario Heritage Act and therefore recommends that it be designated. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Designation of 5257 River Road Andrea Wood, the owner of 5257 River Road has requested that the property be designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990. The Municipal Heritage Committee has completed a site visit and reviewed the property using the criteria in Regulation 9/06 of the Ontario Heritage Act which is used to determine the Cultural Heritage Value or interest of a property prior to designation. The Ontario Heritage Act considers a property appropriate for designation if it meets one or more of the following criteria: • The property has design value or physical value because it is rare or unique. • The property has historical value or associative value, being a direct association with a theme, event, belief, person, activity, organization or institution that is significant to a community. • The property has contextual value because it is important in defining, maintaining, or supporting the character of an area, is physically, functionally, visually or historically linked to its surroundings or is a landmark. November 26, 2013 -2 - PBD-2013-69 The Municipal Heritage Committee has determined that the property at 5257 River Road has associative value for it's connection with William McMurray, who is listed in City records as being the City's treasurer from 1898 to 1925. Mr. McMurray had the house built for his new bride, Grace Menzie, in 1893. Unfortunately, Mr. McMurray died in 1925 but his wife, three sons and later, other members of his family lived in the house until 1985. It is for this reason that the house can be known as the McMurray House. The McMurray House features several elements associated with the Queen Anne architectural style such as the asymmetrical facade with central tower, the overall large mass, 2 storeys, a steeply pitched roof, tall chimney and verandah. Other features, less prominent, although still associated with the Queen Anne style are the windows on the south side that feature smaller panes of glass set above one single large pane; the evidence of fish scale shingles on the verandah walls and pediment and the decorative eave brackets and dentils that give a sense of grandeur to this house. The house also features several interior elements that are very unusual and add to the evidence of its Queen Anne style. In the front entrance or foyer, there is decorative gingerbread fretwork supporting the staircase to the second floor. The detailed woodwork seen in the staircase, ceiling medallions, fireplace mantel, cove moulding and baseboards are part of the decorative elements associated with the Queen Anne style of architecture. There are also two ionic order columns that separate the living room or front parlour, from the dining room. These columns extend from floor to ceiling and have fluted channels, typical of ionic order columns. Other features include the embossed doorknobs and hinges found on all main floor doors and the parquet flooring in the living and dining room. The McMurray House, as is typical for most Queen Anne style houses, is a large house and built for a prominent member of the community. As the City Treasurer, Mr. McMurray would have been considered a prominent member of the community. The house sits prominently on a rise of land on River Road and when first built, would have had scenic views down into the gorge and up and down the river, but now the views would be reduced due to the growth of the trees in the gorge. The other houses along this section of River Road are of similar size and scale and would likely have been built for other prominent citizens of the day. There is also a very large oak tree on the front lawn that is estimated to be 225-250 years old. The Municipal Heritage Committee recommends to Council that staff be directed to issue a Notice of Intention to Designate for 5257 River Road due to it's Cultural Heritage Value and Interest to the City of Niagara Falls.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2013-71 Official Plan Amendment No. 112 Value Added Agricultural Uses RECOMMENDATION That Council approve Official Plan Amendment No. 112 to add Value Added Agricultural Uses policies. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A Public Meeting was held on October 8, 2013 to consider new Official Plan policies that would include value added agricultural uses in the City's Official Plan: In addition to written submissions submitted prior to the Public Meetings, a written submission from Art Federow was given to Council that evening asking for clarity in certain areas of the policies. The draft policies have been revised and have been reviewed by Mr. Federow prior to being included within tonight's agenda for approval. BACKGROUND The new policies within Official Plan Amendment No. 112 include value added agricultural uses into the City's Official Plan in conformity with the policies recently added to the Region's Policy Plan as part of the Region's Agricultural Action Plan. The draft policies have been reviewed by Regional Planning staff and since they have been deemed to be in conformity with the Region's policies, approval has been downloaded to the City. ANALYSIS Written comments regarding the draft policies were received on the date of the Public Meeting. In this submission, Mr. Fedorow noted that flexibility should be built into the policies when it comes to lot sizes and point of production limits on small scale value added uses. Staff has since made some revisions to the draft policies. The changes were forwarded to Mr. Federow for his comments and he has agreed that "the intent in this revision is to assist and provide some latitude on the financial generation for people involved or living in agriculture areas." The specific changes made to the draft policies presented to Council on October 8, 2013 include: November 26, 2013 -2 - PBD-2013-71 • the addition of wording to value added uses such that the use is related to the current on-site farming activity or surrounding farm operations; • the addition of limited retail sales of items that complement the farm product within value added marketing uses; • permitting agri-tourism uses on farms where at least 50% of the arable land of a farm parcel is in active or full production. This would benefit situations where natural heritage features occupy a portion of the farm parcel. In addition, farm working holidays are permitted as an agri-tourism use; and • a new policy that would restrict the separation of a value added use or any secondary use from the farm property through severance. This new policy ensures that farm uses and farmers are those that benefit from the value added policies. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS There are no financial implications associated with the proposed amendment. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposed amendment to the Official Plan contributes to the City's Strategic Commitment for a Well Planned City and provides citizens the opportunity to offer their view on policies that contribute, through Planning policy, to the achievement of the remaining Strategic Priorities.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2013-72 Official Plan Amendment No. 113 Morrison/Dorchester Node RECOMMENDATION That Council adopt Official Plan Amendment No. 113 to lift the deferral of the Morrison/Dorchester Node policies and schedule. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On October 22, 2013 a statutory Public Meeting was held to obtain comments on the proposal to lift the deferral of the Morrison/Dorchester Node. Staff has reviewed the comments made that related to the amendment and have made revisions where appropriate. The amendment is on the agenda for adoption. BACKGROUND At the October 22, 2013 Public Meeting, comments were received on the proposal to lift the deferral of the Morrison/Dorchester Node policies and schedule. Staff has reviewed the comments received, which have been addressed in the following manner: 1 . Landscaping Comments received from one resident related to the policy direction on the extent of landscaping to be provided by new residential development. OPA No. 113 states that landscaping is to be provided around parking areas to "...a depth and intensity that at maturity effectively buffers the parking area from adjacent uses and streets." This policy, however, does not impact on current zoning provisions. In these instances landscaping would be provided through site plan control and subject to current zoning requirements. 2. Protection of Existing Uses Comments received from RioCan requested that additional wording be included within the amendment that would protect the normal operations of existing developments. The concern raised was that while RioCan has no objection to residential intensification, such development should be required to undertake November 26, 2013 -2 - PBD-2013-72 studies (e.g. noise, odour, traffic) and provide mitigation measures, if needed, to allow existing developments to operate normally without impacting on the residential uses. Such wording has been included and accepted by RioCan's planning consultant. CONCLUSION OPA No. 113 provides for a set of policies that will guide residential intensification in the Morrison/Dorchester area in compatible manner. As such adoption is recommended. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS There are no financial implications associated with the proposed amendment. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposed amendment to the Official Plan contributes to the City's Strategic Commitment for a Well Planned City.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2013-73 PLC-2013-010, Request for Removal of Part Lot Control Blocks 82, 85 and 195, Registered Plan 59M-388 Warren Woods Phase 1 Subdivision Applicant: Armstrong Hunter and Associates RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council approve the request and pass the by-law included in tonight's agenda to designate Blocks 82, 85 and 195 on Registered Plan 59M-388, as exempt from Part Lot Control for a period of three years; and 2. That the developer be required to notify the City when the new deeds for the parcels have been registered. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Armstrong Hunter and Associates has requested that Council pass a by-law to exempt Blocks 82, 85 and 195 on Plan 59M-388 from being subject to Part Lot Control to initially allow each block's division into two parcels. This will allow the developer to obtain Building Permits for two on-street townhouse dwellings (one on each half) for each block. The exemption will also accommodate the further division of each block into a total of 9 parcels once the individual on- street townhouse dwelling units are completed (for each block there would be four dwelling units in one on-street townhouse dwelling and five dwelling units in the other). The request can be supported based on the following: • the use of this Planning Act mechanism is an acceptable alternative to a consent because the blocks are located within a registered subdivision; • By-law No. 2009-51 permits the proposed parcel sizes and provides certainty that the total number of parcels for each block will be limited to nine; and • the by-law will permit deeds to be created for the new parcels and permit them to be sold. BACKGROUND Armstrong Hunter and Associates has submitted a request to have Pad Lot Control removed from Blocks 82, 85 and 195, in the Warren Woods Phase 1 plan of subdivision. Block 82 is on the north side of Nightshade Street, Block 85 is on the north side of Primrose Lane and Block 195 is on the south side of Hickory Lane. The subject lands are illustrated on Schedule 1. The removal of Part Lot Control is a planning tool that is intended to allow minor boundary adjustments to lots and blocks within registered plans of subdivision. November 26, 2013 - 2 - PBD-2013-73 The applicant needs Building Permits for two on-street townhouse dwellings on each block. However, the Zoning By-law only permits one on-street townhouse dwelling per block. In order for the applicant to obtain a Building Permit for the second on-street townhouse dwelling, removal of Part Lot Control is required to allow the division of each block into two parcels. Once the foundations have been poured for the two on-street townhouse dwellings, each block will be further divided to allow the sale of the individual dwelling units in each on-street townhouse dwelling (four dwelling units in one on-street townhouse dwelling and five dwelling units in the other). Refer to Schedule 2 for further detail. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The subject block is located within the Warren Woods Phase 1 plan of subdivision (59M-388) which was registered in 2012. The subdivision contains a mix of lots for detached dwellings, semi-detached dwellings and blocks of land for on-street townhouses and group townhouse dwellings. The proposed parcel configurations are shown on the attached reference plan (Schedule 2). The subject blocks are zoned Residential Mixed (R3-854) by Zoning By-law No. 79-200, as amended by By-law No. 2009-51. Based on the information submitted with the application, the proposed parcels appear to comply with the R3-854 zone. Through the issuance of Building Permits staff will ensure that the dwellings comply with the R3-854 zone. The applicant is required to ensure that all the parcels comply with zoning. Part Lot Control provisions under the Planning Act prevent lands that are within a registered plan of subdivision from being further divided without a consent to sever. Municipalities have the ability to exempt lots and blocks from Part Lot Control to allow lot lines to be reconfigured or part of a lot or block to be conveyed without a consent. Approval of a Part Lot Control by-law is requested so that Blocks 82, 85 and 195 can be initially divided into two parcels each and then further divided into a total of nine parcels each. Part Lot Control has been requested to be lifted for three years. This time period is acceptable given that the applicant has sales closing on the properties. The developer should be required to notify the City when the new deeds have been created to assist in addressing and record keeping. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Development charges were collected for each block based on nine units. There are no financial implications.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services SUBJECT: TS-2013-49 Downtown BIA Request for 2-hour On-street Free Parking in December RECOMMENDATION 1) That two-hour free parking in the Downtown Core during the Month of December at on-street parking meters and on-street pay and display machines only, be approved. 2) That the Downtown C.I.P. fund be used to off set the lost revenue from paid parking during the month of December 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Downtown Board of Management has submitted their annual request for 2-hour free parking at all on-street pay parking locations. Council has approved this request the past 12 years. In January 2013 Council approved the self sustaining parking operation where revenues generated would off set expenditures without impact on the general tax base. Based in this structure it is recommended that funds from the CIP be used to cover lost revenue during the month of December and future requests from the Downtown BIA be covered through their annual budget. BACKGROUND The Downtown Board of Management has once again submitted a request to have free parking implemented at on-street parking meters and on-street pay and display machines during the month of December. In January 2013 Council approved the self sustaining parking operation where revenues generated would off set expenditures without impact on the general tax base. Based in this structure it is recommended that funds from the CIP be used to cover lost revenue during the month of December and future requests from the Downtown BIA be covered through their annual budget. During the free parking time, those patrons who overstay the 2-hour grace period at the on- street meters and on-street pay and display machines will be subject to parking fine. Patrons requiring to park longer than two hours may use one of the many Downtown Municipal Pay Parking Lots and pay the associated parking fees. November 26, 2013 -2- TS-2013-49 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Typically, BIA's would be responsible for the lost revenue that would have been generated. Council has been supporting this request for the last twelve years at no cost to the Downtown BIA. The changes to the parking operation as self sustaining no longer allows for the tax base to absorb the lost revenue for this area. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The lost revenue associated with the free parking initiative in the Downtown Core during the month of December is estimated to be $3,600. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Continue the parking operations user-pay philosophy through the development and implementation of a 10 Year Parking Capital Infrastructure Program and Rate Stabilization Plan.

The three competitors representing Canada from Niagara (Kokon Jiu-Jitsu) are Sensei Michael Pisano, Sensei Ken Bridgeman and Sensei John Balasz (Sei Con Jiu-Jitsu). Sport Jiu-Jitsu is a style of fighting that combines striking, grappling and submissions, but does not allow intentional knockouts. Points are awarded to fighters for strikes, throws and matches are decided by total point or submissions. Each country in the tournament fielded a 5 man team comprising of one fighter from each weight class and countries fought in a best 3 out of 5 match format. Team Canada beat teams from the US, Switzerland and Australia before losing to England in the gold medal match. John from the Sei Con Jiu-Jitsu was the Light-Heavyweight fighter and Mike was the Heavyweight fighter for the team as well as the team's assistant coach. In the individual fighting divisions , both Mike and John ended up finishing in 5th place after pulling out of the quarter finals with injuries. All three competitors won the Silver medal for the Demonstration Division and Sensei Mike and Sensei John won Silver Medals in the Five Person Team Division. As well as fighting , the trio won Silver Medals as part of the Canadian Self-Defence Demonstration Tam. This is Sensei John Balasz and Sensei Ken Bridgeman's first time competing in the world championships. Sensei Mike Pisano is the chief instructor of Kokon Jiu-jitsu and is a 3 time World Champion. This is the 8`h world championship medal that he has won throughout his competitive career spanning the last 20 years. Congratulations to the trio for their accomplishments.

At present there are many families in the neighbourhood that use the gravel trail for walking, biking,jogging and dog walking. The trail has become overgrown with weeds and the gravel path is uneven. The overgrowth of weeds encourages both mosquitos and ticks. Our designated park space is just a square green patch with no amenities for children. Phase I and Phase II of Fernwood are mostly developed and Phase Ill should be starting soon. There are many residents here who would use these two amenities. • We are asking the City of Niagara Falls for funding and development for these two initiatives.

I United Way of Niagara Falls and Greater Fort Erie November 7, 2013 Mayor Jim Diodati and Council City of Niagara Falls Dear Mayor Diodati: On behalf of our board of directors, I am writing to encourage the City of Niagara Falls to endorse the recently launched Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), "Fixing Canada's Housing Crunch." For many years, our United Way has identified the tremendous pressure being placed on 1 in 4 families in our community who are paying more than 30% of their income on housing. We have endeavoured to advocate for more affordable housing, but our small voice has not made the kind of difference this city, region, province and country needs. As FCM clearly illustrates, the lack of a long-term, national strategy is hampering the progress that must be made in housing. It is unbelievable to us that although housing is included in Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Government of Canada has neglected this essential area of policy-making. Our number one community investment priority is food and shelter. Our resources limit the impact we can have on affordable housing here in Niagara Falls, but when you join your voice to the many others who will support the FCM initiative, we believe real progress can be made. If you have any questions about our position on housing, please contact myself or our Executive Director, Carol Stewart-Kirkby. Thank you for considering our request.

RESOLUTION Development of a New Long-Term Federal Plan to Fix Canada's Housing Crunch WHEREAS, a stable and secure housing system that creates and maintains jobs and allows for a range of living options is essential to attracting new workers, meeting the needs of young families and supporting seniors and our most vulnerable citizens; and, WHEREAS the high cost of housing is the most urgent financial issue facing Canadians with one in four people paying more than they can afford for housing, and mortgage debt held by Canadians now standing at just over $1.1 trillion; and, WHEREAS housing costs and, as the Bank of Canada notes, household debt, are undermining Canadians' personal financial security, while putting our national economy at risk; and, WHEREAS those who cannot afford to purchase a home rely on the short supply of rental units, which is driving up rental costs and making it hard to house workers in regions experiencing strong economic activity; and, WHEREAS an inadequate supply of subsidized housing for those in need is pushing some of the most vulnerable Canadians on to the street, while $1.7 billion annually in federal investments in social housing have begun to expire; and, WHEREAS coordinated action is required to prevent housing issues from being offloaded onto local governments and align the steps local governments have already taken with regard to federal/provincial/territorial programs and policies; and, WHEREAS, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) has launched a housing campaign, "Fixing Canada's Housing Crunch," calling on the federal government to increase housing options for Canadians and to work with all orders of government to develop a long-term plan for Canada's housing future; and, WHEREAS FCM has asked its member municipalities to pass a council resolution supporting the campaign; AND WHEREAS, our community has continuing housing needs, such as the XX and the XX, that can only be met through the kind of long-term planning and investment made possible by federal leadership; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that council endorses the FCM housing campaign and urges the minister of employment and social development to develop a long-term plan for housing that puts core investments on solid ground, increases predictability, protects Canadians from the planned expiry of $1.7 billion in social housing agreements and ensures a healthy stock of affordable rental housing for Canadians. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the minister noted above, to the (provincial/territorial) minister of municipal affairs, to (Name of local MP), to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and to the (Name provincial/Territorial association). co F D 0 CITY OF NIAGARA FALLS By-law No. 2013 - A by-law to provide for the adoption of Amendment No. 112 to the City of Niagara Falls Official Plan.

One of those initiatives was to enhance opportunities for farm diversification, i.e. value added agricultural uses. The Region amended its Plan to include new policies for value added agricultural uses. The attached policies have been prepared in conformity with the Region's, to introduce farm diversification into the Good General Agricultural designation of the City's Official Plan. The intent of value added uses is to provide flexibility to farmers to have small scale secondary uses that help support the farm.This would include: home occupations, home industries and bed&breakfast operations which are currently permitted within the Official Plan, and; agri-tourism and uses that produce value-added agricultural products from the farm operation. Value added uses are those that add value to the agricultural product produced on-site by way of production (i.e. canneries, bakeries, cheese, wineries); marketing (i.e. farm markets, produce stands); or support (i.e. machinery repair, seed supplies). Agri-tourism uses are those that invite visits to a working farm for education, enjoyment or active involvement in the operation.

These secondary uses may be permitted where it can be demonstrated that they are compatible with and retain the agricultural, rural or rural residential character of the Good General Agriculture Area. To ensure compatibility, secondary uses shall remain designated and zoned for agricultural or rural purposes and be in compliance with other policies of this Official Plan. The ancillary uses shall not have associated outside storage of materials or hinder the surrounding agricultural uses in terms of noxious odours, noise or traffic and shall provide adequate on-site parking as outlined in the City's Zoning By-law.
