6.d. and 9.a. Notice of Motion — Painted Intersections
Mr. Lane Burman, Mt. Hope - Breithaupt Park Neighbourhood Association, appeared in support of
painted intersections at Ahrens and Wilhelm Streets, listed as Item 9. a. under New Business. He
gave a presentation stating painted intersections create a visual speed barrier and act as an effective
traffic calming measure.
In response to questions, Mr. Burman stated the cost for materials required for the pilot project would
be borne by the Mt. Hope - Breithaupt Park Neighbourhood Association. He explained that since the
paint is water -based and would need to be re- applied, it would be desirable to start the project in
Spring 2015.
Mr. J. Readman, Director of Transportation Services, responded to questions confirming the use of
the proposed location at Ahrens Street and Wilhelm Street for the painted intersection pilot project.
He indicated other municipalities have incorporated designs into visual speed barriers to effectively
slow traffic.

obtain the opinions of the citizens in the affected area.

may not otherwise qualify in the near future through the City's priority list; and,
WHEREAS neighbourhoods are willing to take an active leadership role in designing and
painting of an intersection with daily traffic flow less than 2000 vehicles;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that staff be directed to report back to August 11, 2014
Community and Infrastructure Services Committee meeting on the feasibility of a policy that
would allow for Painted Intersections in low traffic volume inner neighbourhood intersections,
with a one -year pilot to be implemented at the intersection of Wilhelm and Ahrens Streets."

6.e. Zone Change 11/14M/GS - 250 Woolwich Street
Council considered Community Services Department report CSD -14 -074 (B. Bateman),
recommending the inclusion of two revised conditions as part of the zone change application and
draft plan of subdivision for 250 Woolwich Street, listed as Clause 2, on the June 23, 2014 Planning
and Strategic Initiatives Committee report. Ms. Luella Kains addressed Council and gave a
presentation depicting the laneway and treed area that would be impacted by the proposed
development and expressed concern the tree canopy would be lost. In addition, she requested
consideration be given to a barrier and plantings at the rear of Lots 1 and 10; and, to require the
developer to provide ground cover to all lots as a condition of approval.
In response to questions, Ms. Kains stated the 70mm tree specimens suggested in Report CSD -14-
074 are insufficient to fully compensate for the loss of the 60 ft. trees on the subject lands.
Mr. Hugh Handy, GSP Group, appeared in support of the proposed plan of subdivision and zone
change for 250 Woolwich Street. He gave a presentation stating staff has worked with GSP Group,
MTE and NRSI to review opportunities for tree retention for the development. He advised the
Applicant has agreed to implement trenchbox construction for the required services to minimize
impact to the trees. He explained the extension of services requires removal of trees on Lot 10 and
indicated mitigation measures are an enhanced screening plan to replace tree removal on Lot 10 as
well as a significant natural area protection (Block 11) with retention of trees.
In response to questions regarding interim groundcover, Mr. Handy agreed to grading and applying
groundcover to the subject lands.
COUNCIL MINUTES
JUNE 30, 2014 -148- CITY OF KITCHENER
Questions were raised regarding engineering and servicing requirements for the proposed
development. Mr. J. Willmer, Chief Administrator, suggested wording which could justify the capping
of waterline laterals while limiting the potential for precedent on private property.
Mr. Joe Sestan, Applicant, addressed Council in support of the proposed development advising he
has acted proactively toward the neighbours in this area and referred to correspondence circulated
this date advising he had sent a letter to adjacent residents prior to obtaining development approvals.
He indicated that in order to reduce the impact of the tree loss due to servicing, he intends to try to
relocate Scotch Pine trees displaced during the development.
On motion by Councillor B. Vrbanovic, seconded by Councillor K. Galloway - Sealock, the motion
contained within Addendum report CSD -14 -074 was brought forward for consideration with an
additional clause to address capping of waterline laterals on Lot 10 if permitted by proper engineering
practices.
An amendment was brought forward by Councillor Z. Janecki, seconded by Councillor Y. Fernandes,
to include within the tree management plan the requirement to relocate the Scotch Pines impacted by
development.
Councillor Janecki's amendment was then voted on and was LOST on a recorded vote with
Councillors D. Glenn- Graham, F. Etherington, J. Gazzola, Y Fernandes and Z. Janecki in favour; and,
Mayor C. Zehr and Councillors B. Vrbanovic, B. loannidis, K. Galloway - Sealock, P. Singh and S.
Davey in opposition.
Councillor S. Davey brought forward an amendment to Councillor Vrbanovic's motion to include Lot 1
in the additional clause to address capping of waterline laterals.
Mr. Willmer addressed Council suggesting the motion could be modified to remove the word `fully'
from the two revised conditions recommended for approval in Report CSD -14 -074 to address Ms.
Kain's concerns related to the 70mm tree specimen being insufficient to fully compensate for tree
removal. In addition, Mr. Willmer clarified that Lot 1 in its entirety will be the new public street and
would require removal of all water services.
Councillor S. Davey then withdrew his amendment and Councillor B. Vrbanovic agreed to modify his
motion to remove "fully" from Conditions 2.16 and 2.2.12 as outlined in Addendum Report CSD -14-
074.

the project and install a pedestrian bridge, as outlined in the Report.

Mr. S. Allen, Manager of Engineering Design and Approvals, responded advising steep slopes toward
the railway tracks exceed engineering standards and would not meet standard railway requirements
for approval.
Messrs. Lane Burman and Ted Parkinson, Mt. Hope - Breithaupt Park Neighbourhood Association,
addressed Council in support of Alternative 2 as outlined in report INS -14 -066, stating that building a
bridge in anticipation of full growth capacity would ensure the City would not need to rebuild the
bridge in the future. Mr. Parkinson stated residents are frustrated and, in his opinion, a pedestrian
bridge would not be supported by the neighbourhood. He encouraged Council to consider an
alternative which would lead to constructing a bridge to support future population and transportation
needs.
Moved by Councillor P. Singh
Seconded by Councillor B. loannidis

submitted for consideration; however, a response would not likely be available for the August 11,
2014 Committee meeting.
