As part of the rehabilitation works, a sediment forebay was installed at the upstream end of the Lake; capturing sediment and limiting the amount entering the Lake body and downstream creek. In order to maintain the effectiveness of the forebayand fulfil our legal obligations as Ownersper regulatory requirements under the Ontario Water Resources Act, it must be regularly cleaned out when the sediment storage capacity has been reached. Based on sediment surveys completed in 2012 and 2017, the forebay is expected to meet its storage capacity by the summer of 2018, thereby requiring sediment removal activities to be carried out. To ensure transparency between the City and its residents, permanent signage is proposed at the forebay and the outlet of the facility that will capture the following message: Victoria Park Lake is a made-man lake that functions like a stormwater pond;and, The lake requiresregular maintenance to ensure that there is no excess of sediment, vegetation and debris effecting itsability to provide flood controland improve water quality tothe downstream creek. On Monday, April 16, 2018, City staff met with the Victoria Park Working Group (VPWG) to inform them of the proposed maintenance works and the proposed signage.TheVPWG are in support of the installation of the permanent signage at the forebay and outlet.Thecomments providedby groupwere: Consider a temporary plaque or sticker stating when the next maintenance work is to occur, Installation of the bench pad and ramp should befullyconcrete not concrete and asphalt, Consider changing the font of the write-up shownon the drawing; and, Schedule a site meeting to decide onthe final location of Sign 2 (Forebay). The comments providedwill beused to update the location of the signs andmessage. st Following the presentation which will be provided to the Heritage committee on May 1, 2018, staff would like to receive endorsement forproposed installation of the two interpretive signs. 1 - 1 1 - 2 1 - 3 - 1 - 4 1 - 5 Parks and Cemeteries Division Kitchener Operations Facility 131 Goodrich Dr. Kitchener, Ontario Canada, N2C 2E8 Phone (519) 741-2600 ext 4397 www.kitchener.ca Mark.Parris@kitchener.ca Mark Parris, Landscape Architect Infrastructure Services Department April 17, 2018 Re: Victoria Park Parking Lot Improvements – Heritage Committee Information The City of Kitchener, Parks and Cemeteries Division are proposing improvements to the Victoria Park located south of the Dill St. park entry known informally as the “back parking lot”. The improvements will include but not limited to formalization of 22 parking stalls complete with continuous barrier curb, new asphalt, line painting, separated Iron Horse Trail access, Iron Horse Trail wayfinding signage, tree and perennial planting, and low-impact development stormwater features to address current drainage issues. The parking lot is part of the Iron Horse Trail – Central Area Improvement initiative, with the primary goal to improve the active transportation link from the Iron Horse Trail to Victoria Park by separating the multi-use pathway from vehicular traffic. The parking lot reconstruction will be mutually beneficial to the park, addressing circulation, functional and aesthetic shortcomings of the “back of the park”. The design of the parking lot is appended to this letter for further information and detail. The Victoria Park Area Heritage Conservation District Plan Guidelines were employed to ensure Heritage compliance. The conservation guidelines are as follows: Parking areas should be limited to existing. No further parking areas should expand into the landscape. Parking areas should be integrated into the park with appropriate plantings. Continuous curbs and iron gates should be selected over individual bumpers and bollards for vehicle control The parking area in front of the Front Garage should be eliminated, as its appearance distracts from the naturalistic character of the enveloping woods and prevents the integration of the Perennial Garden and Peace Garden. This notification is intended to be for the Committee’s information, however if any questions or concerns from the committee arise we will respond and potentially revise the design accordingly.

The City is commencing a review and update of its Secondary Plans. The Secondary Plans were deferred from the 2014 Official Plan pending the completion of the Planning Around Rapid Transit Stations (PARTS) planning. The City has now completed three (3) PARTS Plans, PARTS Central, PARTS Midtown, and PARTS Rockway, and it is now appropriate to start the review and update of the existing Secondary Plans. Planning staff would like to attend the next Heritage Kitchener meeting to inform the Committee of what is included in the Secondary Plan/Neighbourhood Review work, outline the process, and discuss the opportunities for Heritage Kitchener involvement and input. There are 9 Secondary Plans that need to be reviewed with the possibility of boundary changes and lands being added or deleted from existing Secondary Plans. The Secondary Plans (9 of them) can be found in the 1994 Official Plan under Municipal Maps and Part 3 at the following link: https://www.kitchener.ca/en/building-and-development/official-plan.aspx The PARTS Plans can be found at the following link: https://www.kitchener.ca/en/city-services/planning-around-rapid-transit-parts.aspx Tina Malone-Wright, MCIP, RPP Senior Planner Policy 3 - 1 Date: April 17, 2018 To: Heritage Kitchener Committee From: Leon Bensason, Coordinator, Cultural Heritage Planning cc: Subject: Heritage Best Practice Delegated Approval By-law Update th At the March 6 meeting of Heritage Kitchener, staff provided the committee with an update on the heritage best practice implementation priorities for 2018.
