COMMENCEMENT — The meeting began with the singing of "0 Canada ". 2. MINUTES — On motion by Councillor D. Schnider, the minutes of the regular meeting held October 5, 2015 and special meetings held October 5 & 19, 2015, as mailed to the Mayor and Councillors, were accepted. 3. DISCLOSURE OF PECUNIARY INTEREST AND THE GENERAL NATURE THEREOF - NIL 4. COMMUNICATIONS REFERRED TO FILE — a. Flag Request under Policy 1 -442: • Movember 2015 At the request of Councillor J. Gazzola, Mr. C. Goodeve, Deputy City Clerk, agreed to investigate the inclusion of future community flag request applications as part of the Council agendas. 5. PRESENTATIONS — NIL 6. DELEGATIONS — 6.a. Heritage Permit Application —1094 Doon Village Road Mr. Stephen Schleimer, applicant, addressed Council in support of Heritage Permit Application HPA - 2015 -V -019, which seeks to demolish and construct a new dwelling at 1094 Doon Village Road, located in the Upper Doon Heritage Conservation District (HCD); listed as Clause 2 on the Heritage Kitchener report. He expressed concerns with the Heritage Permit Approval process, noting the property has been for sale for over a year and he has recently lost a second potential purchaser due to the frustration with the approval process and inability to receive approval from Heritage Kitchener for the proposed design. Mr. Schleimer indicated he has transferred Heritage Permit HPA- 2015 -V- 019 into his name in the hope of receiving further clarification from Council on the design guidelines and redevelopment that would be considered acceptable for the subject property. In response to questions, Mr. L. Bensason, Coordinator, Cultural Heritage Planning, confirmed that Heritage Kitchener put forward a motion to refuse the subject application. He stated that if Council opted to approve HPA- 2015 -V -019, the approval would be tied to the plans submitted with the application. He commented if the owner wished to change the design, he would need to submit a new Heritage Permit Application which would need to be considered by Heritage Kitchener. Questions were raised regarding the previous Heritage Permit Application for the subject property and the discussion at Council regarding future permits for this site. Mr. Bensason advised staff implemented a number of process changes since that permit was refused, including: providing the applicant with samples of previously approved construction designs; involving the Ward Councillor in meetings with the applicants; and, circulating the application to the Society for the Preservation of Upper Doon (SPUD). He noted those changes were followed for the subject application. Mr. Steve Hamoen attended in support of the subject Heritage Permit Application. He cited examples of other properties in the subject area, outlining average house widths in comparison to lot width and percentage of lot coverage, indicating the proposed redevelopment is comparable to those quantifiable figures. Ms. Karen Tilt and Messrs. Mark Bowden, Edward Schnurr and Bruno Piccinin addressed Council in opposition to Heritage Permit Application HPA- 2015 -V -019. Concerns were raised regarding the size, height and materials of the proposed single detached dwelling. The delegations stated, in their opinions, a 4,600 sq. ft. dwelling is not compatible with the rural character of the Upper Doon HCD and does not comply with Section 5.9.1 of the Upper HCD Plan. COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 26, 2015 -203- CITY OF KITCHENER Moved by Councillor Z. Janecki Seconded by Councillor J. Gazzola "That Clause 2 of the Heritage Kitchener report be adopted." A recorded vote was requested. In Favour: Mayor B. Vrbanovic and Councillors J. Gazzola, S. Marsh, D. Schnider, Y. Fernandes, F. Etherington and Z. Janecki. Contra: Councillors B. loannidis, K. Galloway - Sealock, P. Singh and S. Davey. Carried on a recorded vote. Councillor K. Galloway - Sealock expressed concern that the applicant has not been provided with any further guidelines / criteria on what would be permitted for the redevelopment of the subject property. She questioned whether it would be possible to review the guidelines contained in the Upper Doon HCD designating by -law to provide greater clarity to homeowners on what would be acceptable when redeveloping their properties in this area. In response to questions, Mr. Bensason advised there is no provision within the Ontario Heritage Act to amend a designating by -law and therefore, it would need to be repealed and a new by -law would have to be enacted. He stated staff could investigate implementing further guidelines through other tools, such as the adoption of a Special Regulation under the Zoning B -law. He noted a comprehensive review of the planning policies for the Upper Doon area has been identified for 2018 / 2019 in the Planning Division's Work Plan. In the interim, staff agreed to continue to work with the property owner, SPUD, Heritage Kitchener and the Ward Councillor to achieve a design proposal that would be compatible with the neighbourhood. 6.b. / 8.a. Sidewalk Winter Maintenance Review Mr. D. Tyagi, Deputy CAO - Infrastructure Services, spoke to the motion listed as Item 8.a. under Unfinished Business, indicating it was passed in February 2015 directing staff to undertake a review of the City's sidewalk snow clearing policies, as set out in Municipal Code Chapter 687 (Snow and Ice - Removal from Roofs and Sidewalk). He noted that due to unforeseen circumstances, staff was unable to complete the review or engage the public on the potential service level options. He indicated the previous motion has been listed under Unfinished Business to provide Council an update and advised that a report would be brought forward on this matter sometime in 2016. Ms. Joan Leening addressed Council regarding the City's sidewalk snow clearing policies, advising the current standard requires residents to clear their sidewalks to the bare pavement. She expressed concerns with the standard, indicating it may not be achievable for someone to adhere to this with a snow plow. She suggested the existing standard may increase safety concerns with ice buildup on bare pavement versus having a thin layer of snow for people to walk on. She confirmed she is not requesting a change to the City's operational procedures regarding sidewalk snow clearing; rather, her desire is to see the snow clearing standard outlined in Chapter 687 reviewed to remove the `bare pavement' requirement. Mr. Gary Megaffin addressed Council to request that the City change its operational procedures related to sidewalk winter maintenance. He stated that transportation needs in the City are shifting to be more pedestrian friendly, noting that if Council would like to promote walkability, sidewalk snow clearing should be undertaken by City. In response to questions, Mr. D. Chapman, Deputy CAO - Finance and Corporate Services, estimated that implementing sidewalk winter maintenance across the City would increase the tax levy by approximately 4 %; which would equate to approximately $40. additional cost per year for the average household. Questions were raised regarding the amount of work completed to date to determine the impact and service levels of providing sidewalk winter maintenance. Mr. D. Tyagi advised staff have completed a cost analysis; however, the public engagement process and preparing options for various service COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 26, 2015 -204- CITY OF KITCHENER levels is still outstanding. He agreed to circulate a summary of all the cost analysis and acknowledged that the report to come back in 2016 could include potential sub - options for targeted groups; such as, potential assistance programs for residents who may have difficulty clearing their sidewalks. In response to questions, Ms. V. Raab, Director of Communications, agreed to include information on City's website summarizing the programs offered for residents requiring assistance with winter maintenance. Councillor S. Davey questioned whether additional costs would be incurred if the sidewalk winter maintenance matter was added as a referendum question to the ballot for the 2018 Municipal Election. Mr. C. Goodeve, Deputy City Clerk, agreed to investigate the costs associated with adding a question of this nature to the ballot for the next Municipal Election. Councillor S. Marsh questioned whether any minor adjustments could be made to the snow clearing by -law that could address the challenges identified in the enforcement of Municipal Code Chapter 687 for the 2015/2016 winter season. Mr. M. May, Deputy CAO — Community Services, advised that revising the current maintenance standard would not be a minor adjustment, noting it was established based on public consultation and input received from the Grand River Accessibility Advisory Committee (GRAAC). He indicated staff could examine current enforcement methods, noting By -law Enforcement Officers have the ability to use discretion when applying the provisions of the sidewalk snow clearing policies. Council generally agreed to the request of staff to have the comprehensive review of the City's sidewalk snow clearing policies and community consultation come back sometime in 2016. A motion was brought forward by Councillor S. Marsh, seconded by Councillor Y. Fernandes, directing staff to provide a report back by December 7, 2015 as to any potential adjustments that could reasonably be made to the enforcement application of the snow clearing by -law as an interim measure, pending the completion of a comprehensive review and public consultation of the City's sidewalk snow clearing policies.
