PLANING MATTERS PD- 2002 -100 Chief Administrative Officer Re: Recommendation Report, Proposal to add four storeys to 18- storey addition, 6546 Fallsview Boulevard, Zoning By -law Amendment Application AM- 40/2002; Applicant: Kerrio Corporation. The report recommends the following: -2- 1. Council approve the Zoning By -law amendment application for 6546 Fallsview Boulevard to add four storeys to the 18- storey addition that is currently under construction to The Oakes Hotel; 2. The owner satisfy all outstanding matters respecting: the current site plan agreement; the road widening dedication; and the encroachment agreement; and 3. Council pass the resolution not requiring a further public meeting with respect to the inclusion of additional lands in the amending zoning by -law. -AND Communication No. 175 The Regional Municipality of Niagara, Planning and Development Department. The communication provides comments that the increased height to the building is within a permitted tourism district would only affect the southerly portion of the hotel and would therefore not oppose the proposed zoning by -law amendment from either a Regional of Provincial planning perspective. His Worship Mayor Thomson declared the Public Meeting open and read the procedure to be followed under the Planning Act. The City Clerk advised that the Notice of the Public Meeting had been given in accordance with the Regulations by prepaid First Class mail on Friday, October 25, 2002. His Worship Mayor Thomson received indication that Ms. Italia Gilberti Solicitor, was in attendance on behalf of the applicant and received a positive response to his request for a show of hands by persons present who were interested in the application. He requested that all persons wishing to receive further notice of the passage of the by -law submit their names and addresses to the Clerk prior to leaving the meeting. His Worship Mayor Thomson advised that failure to make oral or written submissions at the Council meeting could result in the dismissal of the case at a future Ontario Municipal Board hearing. The Deputy Director of Planning and Development discussed the subject property with the assistance of posted sketches; reviewed the information contained in the recommendation report, the surrounding land uses; the planning review; indicated that at 18 storeys, the approval went through extensive scrutiny by staff and the Architectural Peer Review (APR) and underwent an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board (the Board). The additional 4 storeys were found to be in compliance with the Official Plan and the Design Criteria for high -rise buildings and well within the height strategy for the Fallsview area; the dimension of the addition together with the existing building does not contravene the massing guidelines; there will be no traffic impacts due to the additional four storeys; wind impacts will be controlled through wind mitigation feature, which will be required to be detailed in the amending site plan agreement; sun shadowing will not significantly impact public sidewalks or open space areas. Ms. Italia Gilberti, Solicitor requested approval of the zoning by -law amendment application and the resolution listed later on the agenda. Since no further comments were forthcoming, His Worship Mayor Thomson declared the Public Meeting with regard to Application AM-40/2002, closed. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Feren, seconded by Alderman Puttick, that the report be received and adopted. Carried Unanimously -3- PD- 2002 -105 Chief Administrative Officer Re: Public Meeting, 6753 Lyon's Creek Road Zoning By -law Amendment Application AM-35/2002; Applicant: Steve Rizvic.

AND Communication No. 176 Correspondence from the Ministry of Transportation. AND Communication No. 177 Correspondence from the Regional Municipality of Niagara, Planning and Development Department. -AND Communication No. 178 Correspondence from the Regional Municipality of Niagara, Public Works Department. His Worship Mayor Thomson declared the Public Meeting open and read the procedure to be followed under the Planning Act. The City Clerk advised that the Notice of the Public Meeting had been given in accordance with the Regulations by prepaid First Class mail on Friday, October 18, 2002. His Worship Mayor Thomson received indication that Ms. Italia Gilberti, Solicitor was in attendance on behalf of the applicant. He requested that all persons wishing to receive further notice of the passage of the by -law submit their names and addresses to the Clerk prior to leaving the meeting. His Worship Mayor Thomson advised that failure to make oral or written submissions at the Council meeting could result in the dismissal of the case at a future Ontario Municipal Board hearing. The Deputy Director of Planning and Development discussed the subject property with the assistance of posted sketches; reviewed the information contained in the recommendation report, the surrounding land uses; the planning review; the property is located on 5 acres of land on the QEW east of Dell Road and contains a former school which is underutilized. -4- The site has more recently been used for outside storage of various equipment. The opportunity exists to revitalize the property in keeping with Smart Growth principles and clean up the site which has been unsightly for a number of years. The subject land is designated Residential in the Official Plan and zoned Village Residential in Zoning By -law No. 395. The applicant is requesting a Special Policy provision to be added to the Residential designation of the land to permit the proposed uses. Complimentary site specific amending zoning provisions have also been requested to regulate the development. Information regarding the application was circulated to City departments, government agencies and the public for comment with the following comments being received: •From the Municipal Works: Water and septic services are to be installed to the satisfaction of Regional Health Services A traffic impact study be conducted for a 5,000 square foot restaurant use with a drive -thru. •From the Ministry of Transportation: Ministry permits be required prior to construction New buildings are to be set back 14 metres from the QEW property line. Submission of a site plan and drainage plan for Ministry approval Mr. Ivan Dejanais of 6020 Lyons Creek Road expressed his opinion that there was increased traffic in the area and that a commercial development would be of no benefit to the existing area residents. In response to questions raised regarding whether or not the property was zoned residential, the Deputy Director of Planning and Development stated that the Official Plan recognizes "neighbourhood- commercial" for the area. With the application, the residential zoning would be retained with commercial uses limited to the three specific operations indicated (a restaurant, a tourist information centre, a retail store). Ms. Italia Gilberti, Solicitor indicated that her client was agreeable to the staff recommendations; that he would submit to a traffic study and forego additional residential units on the ground floor. She indicated that the proposed business would provide tourist information, a restaurant and retail stores, none of which would be open past 2:00 a.m. In response to a question, the Deputy Director of Planning and Development advised that if the existing building was ever demolished then the commercial aspect of the property would cease. In response to inquiries into long -term plans for the redevelopment of Lyon's Creek Road, the Director of Municipal Works reported that Lyon's Creek Road was only a Regional road while McLeod Road was the major thoroughfare for this area. Alderman Campbell indicated the area is not aesthetically pleasing and the building looks unsound and requested more information on the proposed development. In response to whether or not the City had jurisdiction to limit the hours of operation, the Assistant Solicitor, advised that the only way the municipality can restrict the business' hours of operation would be if the City issued their licence. The City Clerk, advised that there are no provisions in our existing licensing by -law that restricts hours of operation. Ms. Gilberti indicated that she had not had much contact with the owner and asked to have the matter adjourned to another meeting. Since no further comments were forthcoming, His Worship Mayor Thomson declared the Public Meeting with regard to Application AM- 35/2002, closed. -5- ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Feren, seconded by Alderman Puttick, that the matter be deferred. Carried Unanimously PD- 2002 -104 Chief Administrative Officer Re: Proposed Temporary Use By -law for a Surface Parking Lot, Zoning By -law Amendment Application AM- 37/2002; Owner: Rudan Holdings. The report recommends the following: 1. That Council approve the application for a temporary-use by -law for the land on the south side of Dixon Street, between Cleveland Avenue and Level Avenue, for a surface parking lot conditional upon the following: 1. that the amending zoning by -law include regulations respecting fencing and landscaping and; 2. That the owner enter into an agreement and deposit sufficient security in order to guarantee that the site be made into green space at the expiration of the temporary use by -law. -AND Communication 179 Comments from the Regional Municipality of Niagara, Planning and Development Department, -AND Communication 180 E -mail from Susan Gallicchio His Worship Mayor Thomson declared the Public Meeting open and read the procedure to be followed under the Planning Act. The City Clerk advised that the Notice of the Public Meeting had been given in accordance with the Regulations by prepaid First Class mail on Friday, October 18, 2002. His Worship Mayor Thomson received indication that Mr. Daniel McDonald, Solicitor, was in attendance on behalf of the applicant. He requested that all persons wishing to receive further notice of the passage of the by -law submit their names and addresses to the Clerk prior to leaving the meeting. His Worship Mayor Thomson advised that failure to make oral or written submissions at the Council meeting could result in the dismissal of the case at a future Ontario Municipal Board hearing. The Deputy Director of Planning and Development discussed the subject property with the assistance of posted sketches; reviewed the information contained in the recommendation report, the surrounding land uses; the planning review; the subject land is designated Residential in the Official Plan. Parking lots are not considered to be residential land uses and, as such, if the parking lot had been proposed on a permanent basis, would not comply with the Official Plan. However, temporary uses need to comply with the Official Plan. The applicant has requested a temporary use by -law to permit the parking lot for three years as allowed by the Planning Act. As the Crowne Plaza Hotel has a projected construction time frame of about 30 months, the three -year maximum is a reasonable request. In order to guarantee the installation of the above -noted fencing and landscaping measures, it is recommended that the amending by -law include regulations respecting these matters; specifically, a 6 -foot closed -board fence and a 10 -foot landscape strip along the south and west property lines. -6- Mr. Daniel McDonald, Solicitor for the applicant agreed all indications point to the need for the temporary use of the property for a parking lot because there are so many construction workers in this area. The Crowne Plaza development is considered to have a three year duration and the applicant has no objection to the fence, however, would prefer a 5 foot fence rather than a 6 foot fence. In response to an inquiry as to whether or not lighting was going to be introduced to this parking lot, Mr. McDonald advised that as the parking lot is for construction workers, who would most likely only be working during the daylight hours. In response to an inquiry of how the lot came to be, Mr. McDonald explained that in September the applicant levelled the property for parking to comply with a contractual agreement he was committed to with the Marriott. He was subsequently advised that he required a by -law to legalize the land use. It was pointed out that this is a temporary three -year by -law that becomes null and void at the end of that period, at which time the property will become green space. Since no further comments were forthcoming, His Worship Mayor Thomson declared the Public Meeting with regard to Application AM- 37/2002, closed. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Feren, seconded by Alderman Pietrangelo that a temporary use by -law for the land on the south side of Dixon Street, between Cleveland Avenue and Level Avenue, for a surface parking lot conditional on a 5 foot fence, landscaping, a security deposit and neighbourhood participation on the site plan agreement be approved. The motion Carried with Aldermen Wing and loannoni voting contrary to the motion and with all others voting in favour. PD- 2002 -101 Chief Administrative Officer Re: Public Meeting, Garner Estates Phase 4 Draft Plan of Subdivision, File 26T -11- 2002 -05; Owner River Realty Development (1976) Inc. The report recommends the following: 1. That Council consider input received at the Public Meeting and refer all matters to staff for the review of the Garner Estates Phase 4 Draft Plan of Subdivision. -AND Communication 181 Comments from the District School Board of Niagara Communication 182 Comments from Christine MacCarl His Worship Mayor Thomson declared the Public Meeting open and read the procedure to be followed under the Planning Act. The City Clerk advised that the Notice of the Public Meeting had been given in accordance with the Regulations by prepaid First Class mail on Friday, November 1, 2002. His Worship Mayor Thomson received indication that Mr. John Mestik, was in attendance on behalf of the applicant. He requested that all persons wishing to receive further notice of the passage of the by -law submit their names and addresses to the Clerk prior to leaving the meeting. His Worship Mayor Thomson advised that failure to make oral or written submissions at the Council meeting could result in the dismissal of the case at a future Ontario Municipal Board hearing. Mr. John Mestik gave a brief overview of the Garner Estates Development and in particular Phase 4 where a re- design of a road connection had been deferred from a September 16 public meeting for further staff recommendations. -7- In response to Mr. Henry Badger's inquiry into the capacity of the storm water pond, Mr. Mestik indicated he did not have the exact figure, however, it had been approved by the City, the Region, the MOE and Phillips Environmental and would get the exact figure for Mr. Badger if he wished. Mr. Wojnarowski who lives south of the McGarry Road collector road opposed the proposed re- design of the road connection for the same reason he did at the September 16, 2002 meeting, as his property would become a corner lot. He suggested that McGarry Drive be realigned slightly north, so that it would be abutting to the Bedard property thereby eliminating his property from becoming a corner lot. Through discussion, it was determined that the garage on Mr. Wojnarowski's lot (185 feet by 232 feet) would be short three feet in conforming to the required site line distance from the road. The Deputy Director of Planning and Development indicated that Planning staff could take this into consideration when returning to Council with their recommendations and allow for the legal non confirming use of the property. It was indicated that the re- design alleviated some of the access concerns of Niagara Transit and the Fire Department had with the original design. The Fire Chief noted the through road lessened the possibilities of getting trapped in or not getting through to certain areas due to a cul -de -sac and deadend streets. In response to Mr. Fautino's inquiry, the Director of Municipal Works advised that the City does not normally purchase land to build streets but that developers provide lands to the City for the necessary streets in subdivisions. Since no further comments were forthcoming, His Worship Mayor Thomson declared the Public Meeting with regard to Garner Estates Phase 4 closed. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Volpatti, seconded by Alderman Feren, that the comments be referred to staff. Carried Unanimously.
