The Committee considered Community Services Department report CSD-12-060, dated March 26, 2012 recommending approval of Demolition Control Application DC12/06/O/MV & DC12/07/O/MV for the properties municipally known as 1989 and 2009 Ottawa Street South, subject to conditions. Councillor Y. Fernandes expressed concern with the proposed demolition of 2009 Ottawa Street South, noting the request from the City’s Heritage Planner for measured architectural drawings and photographs of the log structure’s side elevation. She commented that Councillor Janecki was not in attendance this date, suggesting that as the Vice-Chair of Heritage Kitchener his input should be sought on this matter. She proposed that consideration of Report CSD-12-060 be deferred to the April 23, 2012 Council meeting. Ms. D. Ross advised that Heritage Planning staff are in support of the subject Demolition Control Application. She indicated that a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) was undertaken on 2009 Ottawa Street South, which was considered by Heritage Kitchener. Mr. A. Pinard stated that the HIA was approved approximately one week ago, adding support of Heritage Planning staff is required prior to said approval. He noted that one of the key recommendations of the HIA is for the demolition to occur in stages, so that the building is effectively deconstructed. Accordingly, as the building is demolished, proper documentation will be made of the log structure. Mr. Pinard pointed out that the HIA concluded that originally 2009 Ottawa Street South was built using a mix of materials and is not an example of good workmanship. He added that research indicated that the original builders seemed to make use of whatever materials were at hand, with some of the logs being rounded and some square as well as gaps in the keying of some of the logs which were held together by chinking. Accordingly, any preservation efforts would only restore the building to a poorly constructed original condition. Mr. Pierre Chauvin, MHBC Planning was in attendance and addressed the Committee in support of the staff recommendation. He clarified that the demolition needs to proceed in order to complete the requirements of the HIA. He added that this includes systematically removing the building’s front porch and kitchen to allow for the development of measured drawings as well as photographic documentation. He noted that Heritage Kitchener considered the HIA earlier this year. On motion by Councillor Y. Fernandes - it was resolved: COMMUNITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES COMMITTEE APRIL 16, 2012 - 33 - CITY OF KITCHENER CSD-12-060 - DEMOLITION CONTROL APPLICATIONS DC12/06/O/MV & DC12/07/O/MV 3. - 1989 & 2009 OTTAWA STREET SOUTH (CONT’D) “That the following recommendation contained in Community Services Department be referred to the April 23, 2012 Council meeting report CSD-12-060, pending additional information: That Demolition Control Applications DC12/06/O/MV and DC12/07/O/MV requesting permission to demolish one (1) single detached dwelling located at 1989 Ottawa Street South, and one (1) single detached dwelling located at 2009 Ottawa Street South owned by Deerfield Homes Ltd, be approved with the following conditions: The Chief Building Official may authorize and issue a demolition permit under Section 33(6) of the Planning Act subject to the following condition: In the event that construction of the new dwelling unit is not substantially complete within 2-years from the day demolition of the existing residential property is commenced, the City Clerk may enter on the collector’s roll, to be collected in like manner as municipal taxes, $20,000 for each dwelling unit contained in the residential properties in respect of which the demolition permit is issued and such sum shall, until the payment thereof, be a lien or charge upon the land in respect of which the permit to demolish the residential property is issued.” CSD-12-062 - LIMITING DISTANCE AGREEMENT FOR THE BOARDWALK 4.

Etherington disclosed a pecuniary interest and abstained from all discussion and voting concerning this matter as he is participating in programming conducted by the Residential Energy Efficient Program (REEP) Green Solutions. The Committee considered Community Services Department report CSD-12-066, dated April 10, 2012 providing an update on the status of the Kitchener Home Energy Improvement Program. Mr. B. Steiner reviewed the report, advising that the subject Program operated by REEP for the last eight months has now been fully awarded providing homeowner incentives in accordance with REEP’s 2011 Local Environmental Action Fund (LEAF) grant application. Ms. Mary Jane Patterson, REEP Green Solutions gave a presentation on the success of the Kitchener Home Energy Improvement Program, advising that in association with the COMMUNITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES COMMITTEE APRIL 16, 2012 - 35 - CITY OF KITCHENER CSD-12-066 - UPDATE: 2011 LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION FUND (LEAF) 9. - KITCHENER HOME ENERGY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM - REEP GREEN SOLUTIONS (CONT’D) ecoENERGY Program 546 Kitchener homes were evaluated; with 303 in LEAF incentives being provided to those homes built before 1970. She noted the average incentive received by each homeowner through the Kitchener Home Energy Improvement Program was $1,350., equating to a local economic impact of approximately $1.8M. She indicated that approximately 515 tonnes of Greenhouse Gas emissions have been reduced annually as a result of the incentives provided through LEAF. She agreed to circulate copies of her presentation to the Committee. In response to questions, Ms. Patterson advised that the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) estimated that each homeowner who received incentives spent approximately $6,000. to undertake the retrofits recommended through the home energy audits. She added that each participant was verified by the City as being a Kitchener resident with a home built before 1970. She indicated that the Kitchener Home Energy Improvement Program appeared to simulate other residents to undertake retrofits even though their homes did not qualify for the incentives. She stated that with funding being recently eliminated for both the federal and provincial home energy retrofits incentive programs, the demand for energy audits is anticipated to decline. She added that the REEP House remains a focal point for people seeking advice on home retrofits, noting that one of the challenges facing her organization is how to motivate people to undertake retrofit projects in the absence of federal and provincial incentives. She commented that accordingly, REEP may seek future funding from the City to support another home energy saving program. CAO-12-016 - KITCHENER PINHOLE SOLARGRAPHY PROJECT 10. The Committee considered Chief Administrator’s Office report CAO-12-016, dated April 4, 2012 regarding a request from a local artist to mount pinhole cameras to light standards or City facilities within Downtown Kitchener to capture the seasonally changing path of the sun over a six month period.

Mr. Nik Harron, Artist addressed the Committee in support of the request, advising that upon completion of the project he would provide the City with digital versions of the produced images, licensed for the City’s use. He stated that while he does not anticipate any negative impacts to the City’s infrastructure, he has agreed to assume all liability for any damages caused in relation to mounting the pinhole cameras. In response to questions, Mr. Harron advised that due to the long exposure times, only stationary objects, such as buildings, can be captured by these cameras. He indicated that although this will be his first time using pinhole cameras, he has over 22 years of photographic experience. He noted that an exhibition of the images captured by the pinhole cameras is anticipated to take place at the cessation of the six months. On motion by Mayor C. Zehr - it was resolved: “That the Pinhole Solargraphy Project, capturing 20 images of Downtown Kitchener landmarks, be endorsed; and further, That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute an agreement, subject to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor, with Nik Harron for the Pinhole Solargraphy Project, such agreement encompassing the terms set out in Chief Administrator’s Office report CAO-12-016.” INS-12-037 - DUKE STREET & ONTARIO STREET GARAGE FAÇADE TREATMENTS 11. The Committee considered Infrastructure Services Department report INS-12-037, dated April 4, 2012 recommending a public consultation process to determine the preferred coloured COMMUNITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES COMMITTEE APRIL 16, 2012 - 36 - CITY OF KITCHENER INS-12-037 - DUKE STREET & ONTARIO STREET GARAGE FAÇADE TREATMENTS 11. - (CONT’D) façade treatment to be applied as part of the last phase of structural repairs being undertake on the Duke and Ontario Parking Garage. Messrs. J. McBride and C.

In response to questions, Mr. McBride advised that the life expectancy of the sealer being used for the façade treatment is approximately 20 years; however, the colour is anticipated to fade overtime. He stated that there is no increased cost associated with adding colour to the façade treatment, indicating that it would be done as part of the restoration work already included in the project tender. He agreed to forward to the Committee examples of where this sealer has been applied to other buildings. Councillor S. Davey suggested that future consideration could be given to allowing companies to place advertisements on parking garage façades, as a means of potentially generating additional revenues for the City. On motion by Councillor D. Glenn-Graham - it was resolved: “That consideration be given to the inclusion of a coloured façade treatment for the Duke & Ontario Parking Garage; and further, That staff be directed to undertake the public consultation process, as outlined in Infrastructure Services Department report INS-12-037 and report back to a future Community and Infrastructure Services Committee meeting.” INS-12-007 - COST SHARING AGREEMENT WITH THE REGION OF WATERLOO 12. - INFRASTRUCTURE RELOCATION RELATED TO REGIONAL RAPID TRANSIT PROJECT The Committee considered Infrastructure Services Department report INS-12-007, dated April 10, 2012 recommending that the City enter into a cost sharing agreement for municipal infrastructure relocation related to the Region of Waterloo’s light rapid transit program. Mr. G. Murphy presented the report, advising that Kitchener staff have met with the Region as well as the Cities of Cambridge and Waterloo to reach a consensus on the general principles for sharing the relocation costs of municipal infrastructure as it relates to for Stage 1 of the rapid transit project. It was identified that for watermains, sanitary and stormwater sewers installed between 1974 to 2013 the Region would pay 100% of the costs to relocate, rehabilitate, replace, and/or reinforce that infrastructure. He added that if the infrastructure is between 41-80 years old the Region would pay 50% for the costs and anything over 80 years old the City would be responsible for 100% of the costs. He stated that where funding is currently allocated in Kitchener’s current 10-year Capital Forecast, replacement is to be 100% funded from those monies. He noted that the Region would only fund the additional costs related to relocation. Mr. Murphy further advised that approximately $18.7M would be required to relocate sanitary, water or stormwater infrastructure owned by the City and/or Kitchener Utilities. He indicated that based on the cost-sharing criteria, it is estimated that $8.3M will be funded by the Region and $10.4M funded by the City.He pointed out that currently the City’s 10-year Capital Forecast already has $5.2M allocated to replace aging infrastructure on the streets impacted by the proposed rapid transit route. He noted that the remaining $5.2M would be identified by reallocating and reprioritizing other projects within the Forecast. COMMUNITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES COMMITTEE APRIL 16, 2012 - 37 - CITY OF KITCHENER INS-12-007 - COST SHARING AGREEMENT WITH THE REGION OF WATERLOO 12. - INFRASTRUCTURE RELOCATION RELATED TO REGIONAL RAPID TRANSIT PROJECT (CONT’D) In response to questions, Mr. Murphy advised that the Region has agreed to front-ended the costs to replace infrastructure in instances where the timing in the Capital Forecast does not align with the Region’s project schedule. He added that the Region would assume the costs until the time when that work was identified in the City’s Capital Forecast. He commented that this proposal would allow for the relocation of infrastructure in a timely manner, while not adversely affect the City’s finances. He noted that the projected costs are based on a Class ‘C’ estimate and will be refined once the project enters the detailed design phase. He added that the age based criteria means that the same formula is used to determine the costs borne by each municipality. Several members expressed concerns with the possibility that each municipality may not be treated equally with respect to the cost of relocating its infrastructure. Councillor K. Galloway suggested that a clause could be added to the staff recommendation to indicate that Kitchener’s approval of the cost sharing agreement would be subject to the other affected municipalities also entering into the agreement. Mayor C. Zehr advised that the proposed agreement would appear to be the best means of providing an equitable solution to sharing the costs related to relocating this infrastructure. He pointed out that through this arrangement, Kitchener would have a portion of its infrastructure replaced earlier than originally anticipated, while not incurring any extra costs. He indicated that it may not be necessary to add the clause proposed by Councillor Galloway, as it was his understanding that the Region could require the City to accommodate the expenses related to relocating the affected infrastructure. He requested that staff clarify this with the Region prior to the April 23, 2012 Council meeting. On motion by Mayor C. Zehr - it was resolved: “That the memorandum of understanding for municipal utility relocation cost sharing plan related to the Region of Waterloo’s light rapid transit program, be endorsed; and further, That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute a cost sharing agreement, subject to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor, with the Region of Waterloo as outlined by the memorandum of understanding for municipal utility relocation cost sharing plan related to the Region of Waterloo’s light rapid transit program.” CSD-12-023 - 2012 FAMILY 3 MONTH SWIM PASS 13. The Committee considered Community Services Department report CSD-12-023, dated April 3, 2012 regarding options for implementing the Family 3 Month Swim Pass in response to concerns raised over the originally approved rate compared to what was previously charged for the Family Summer Season pass.Ms. D. Keelan reviewed the report. In response to questions, Ms. Keelan advised that the new pass structure was implemented as a result of requests from patrons for a swim pass that could be used any time of year, similar to the summer season pass. She stated that patrons were asking for a more convenient method of paying for swimming, adding the new pass decreases the amount of time someone has to wait to enter a pool. She added that the new pass allows an individual or family to swim an unlimited number of times within the 3 month period, at any of Kitchener’s pools. She indicated that it is recognized that the price difference between the 2011 Family Summer Season pass and the new 3 month Family Pass may be too great for some residents; therefore, the following alternatives are being put forward for consideration: •Option 1 - 2012 Family 3 Month Swim Pass would remain at the approved rate of $365.61; •Option 2 - based on families swimming 2 times per week which would result in a revised rate of $243.75; and, COMMUNITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES COMMITTEE APRIL 16, 2012 - 38 - CITY OF KITCHENER CSD-12-023 - 2012 FAMILY 3-MONTH SWIM PASS (CONT’D) 13. •Option 3 - rate would be phase-in over 3 years as follows: 2012 rate readjust to $259.83, with a rate of $312.66. in 2013 and $365.61 in 2014. Ms. Keelan confirmed that based on 2011 sales, approximately $78,840. in revenues would be generated in 2012 if the approved rate of $365.61 was maintained. She estimated that the 2012 revenues generated from Options 2 and 3 would be $52,650. and $56,123. respectively. She noted that there has been a noticeable increase in the number of passes already sold in 2012. Questions were raised regarding how the new rate was established. Mr. M. Hildebrand advised that it was based upon ensuring consistency across the fee structure. He indicated that during staffs’ review, it became apparent that the summer passes were being offered at a significantly reduced rate, compared to fall, winter and spring prices. Accordingly, the summer pass option was eliminated due to its inconsistency with all other pricing. He added that the rate for the Family 3 Month Swim Pass is similar to the swim fees being charged by other municipalities. A motion was brought forward by Councillor F. Etherington to approve Option 3 (Rate phase-in over 3 years) for the Family 3 Month Swim Pass. Councillor K. Galloway brought forward an amendment to Councillor Etherington’s motion, which was accepted as friendly, to add a clause indicating that the 2013 and 2014 Family 3 Month Swim Pass rates are subject to approval during Council’s annual budget deliberations. On motion by Councillor F. Etherington - it was resolved: “That Option 3 (Rate phase-in over 3 years) be approved for the Family 3 Month Swim Pass, with the 2012 rate being readjusted to $259.83; and further, That the Family 3 Month Swim Pass rate be set at $312.66 for 2013 and $365.61 in 2014, subject to approval during Council’s annual budget deliberations.” INS-12-003 - SKATEPARK PLANNING STUDY 14. The Committee considered Infrastructure Services Department report INS-12-003, dated April 4, 2012 providing an overview of the Skatepark Planning Study and recommending the construction of skateparks at Fischer Park as well as the Southwest Optimist Park. Mr. D. Ritz and Ms. Y. Westerveld Cardoso presented the Skatepark Planning Study and the analysis used to determine the locations of new skateparks. Councillor Y. Fernandes questioned whether the Southwest Optimist Club was consulted with respect to the proposed skatepark locations. Ms. Y. Westerveld Cardoso advised that staff met with the Southwest Optimists Club in November / December 2011, at which time the Club expressed support for the proposed skatepark. She noted that their only concern related to the on-site location of the skatepark in relation to their clubhouse; and it was indicated to them that would be examined further as this project moves forward. Councillor Fernandes commented that it was her understanding that the Southwest Optimist Club was not informed that consideration was being given to the Skatepark Planning Study this date. She requested that consideration of locating a future skatepark at the Southwest Optimist Park be deferred to the April 23, 2012 Council meeting, to allow her time to consult with the Southwest Optimist Club. On motion by Councillor Y. Fernandes - it was resolved: “That the following recommendation as outlined in Infrastructure Services be referred to the April 23, 2012 Council meeting Department report INS-12-003, pending additional information: COMMUNITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES COMMITTEE APRIL 16, 2012 - 39 - CITY OF KITCHENER INS-12-003 - SKATEPARK PLANNING STUDY (CONT’D) 14.
