Mr. L. Masseo provided an overview of the staff report advising that the applicant is proposing to develop the subject lands with 18 freehold townhouse units. He further advised that although normally an applicant would bring forward the plan of subdivision and plan of condominium concurrently with the zone change application, in this case the applicant and staff are exploring the possibility of using part lot control exemption to create blocks of lands rather than a plan of subdivision. At this time only the zone change application is before the Committee for its consideration. In answer to a question from the Committee, Mr. Masseo advised that the applicant has agreed that the proposed site plan is tied to the zone change application and will not change. There were no delegations to speak on this matter. On motion by Councillor M. Galloway - it was resolved: "That Zone Change Application ZC 04/04/VV/KS for the purpose of changing the zoning from Service Station Zone (C-7) to Residential Six Zone (R-6) with Special Regulation Provision 418R, on lands legally described as Plan 1370 Block A in the City of Kitchener, be approved, in the form shown in the "Proposed By-law", dated May 26, 2004, attached DEVELOPMENT & TECHNICAL SERVICES COMMITTEE MINUTES JUNE 21 ~ 2004 - 56- CITY OF KITCHENER 6.

DTS-04-104 - DTS-04-078 - ADDENDUM TO DTS-04-078 MUNICIPAL PLAN AMENDMENT APPLICATION MP 04/02/S/JG ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION ZC 04/10/S/JG BRIGADOON COMMUNITY PLAN SOUTH WARD The Committee considered Development and Technical Services Department report DTS-04- 078 dated May 20, 2004 and addendum report DTS-04-104 dated June 17, 2004 regarding a municipal plan amendment, a zone change application and a new Brigadoon Community Plan to replace the existing Community Plan. Councillor C. Weylie, Chair, read the following statement: 'This is a Public Meeting under 'The Planning Act, 1996' to consider Municipal Plan Amendment Application MP 04/02/S/JG Section 17 (45) of the Planning Act allows the Ontario Municipal Board to dismiss all or part of an appeal without holding a hearing if the appellant did not make oral submissions at a public meeting or did not make written submissions to the council before the plan was adopted and, in the opinion of the Board, the appellant does not provide a reasonable explanation for having failed to make a submission. In order to ensure the record includes all the names of those individuals who are making verbal submissions today for this Municipal Plan Amendment, please ensure that you clearly identify yourself before you begin your submissions and the Clerk will record your name for the record. If your name does not appear on the record, you may jeopardize any further involvement you wish to have in these matters. Any recommendation made by the Development & Technical Services Committee on these matters today will be considered by City Council on June 29, 2004. If City Council adopts the amendments, they will proceed to the Regional Municipality of Waterloo who has the final approval authority for Municipal Plan Amendments. They are also the body to whom appeals are sent. Further information on these procedures is available from the City's Development and Technical Services Department or the Region's Department of Planning and Culture.' Ms. J. Given provided an overview of the staff report advising that the Brigadoon Community Plan was approved by Council in 1990 and during the initial planning period the crossing of Strasburg Creek by collector road 'C' was deferred. She further advised that in 1994 Council adopted the transportation network which placed a priority on natural environment, heritage areas and scenic road considerations while providing a balanced roadway to solve the traffic problems in the area. Since those approvals, development in the south end of the community has necessitated the resolution of the deferred collector road. As well, during that time a land exchange between the City and a developer has resulted in a 20 acre woodlot being owned by the City yet it still remains zoned residential. Ms. Given advised that public consultation on the proposed new community plan and planning applications took place and whereas the response was relatively positive two issues did arise. The first with respect to the extension of Biehn Drive to Strasburg Road. Ms. Given noted that Biehn Drive is a major collector road and its extension is required in order to reduce traffic on other minor collector roads and to ensure adequate emergency access to the area. Ms. Given advised that the second issue raised was the timing for the construction of Templewood Drive between Huron Road and Old Huron Road. She explained that it was necessary to have this road constructed during the first phase of the plan of subdivision between Huron Road and Old Huron Road in order to provide adequate traffic patterns within the community. DEVELOPMENT & TECHNICAL SERVICES COMMITTEE MINUTES JUNE 7. 21~2004 -57- CITY OF KITCHENER DTS-04-104 - ADDENDUM TO DTS-04-078 (CONT'D) Ms. Given concluded her presentation advising that approval of the Brigadoon Community Plan and municipal plan amendment and zone change will complete the outstanding planning matters within this community and ensure the orderly development of the remainder of the community. Mr. J. McBride provided further information and details on the Biehn Drive extension and the rationale behind the proposed timing for construction of Templewood Drive. Mr. Sam Head, Dryden Smith and Head Planning Consultants, attended in support of the staff recommendations to adopt the Community Plan and planning applications. Mr. Head explained that development in the area has been undertaken based on Biehn Drive being extended through to Strasburg Road and that no further traffic studies should be required at this time. Mr. Josh Fernandes, 52 Kilbirnie Court, attended requesting that the Committee reconsider the recommendation contained in the staff report with respect to the extension of Biehn Drive. He advised that the area being proposed for the extension is a wetland and construction of the road will have an impact on the environment. He also pointed out that Biehn Drive will connect to Strasburg Road and creating three intersections within 400 metres resulting in traffic problems and adding to the smog problem. Mr. Fernandes read a quote from former Councillor Tom Galloway made 11 years ago supporting the stopage of Biehn Drive in order to protect the subject wetlands. Councillor M. Galloway responded that his father, Tom Galloway, has indicated that at that time there were two proposed road options which were completely different than the proposal being considered today. Ms. B. Steiner advised that although there are no details at this time with respect to the extension of Biehn Drive through the wetlands it is being proposed that the crossing take place in an upper area to avoid the wetlands and reducing the environmental impact. Mr. Mel Code, consultant, representing Huron Woods Subdivision, attended in opposition to the staging proposal with respect to the construction of Templewood Drive. He explained that the construction of this road at stage 1 of his clients development would not benefit his client nor the Brigadoon Community due to the fact that the property owner to the south, Mr. Boehnke, has indicated he has no immediate plans to develop that property. Mr. Code added that in addition the costs to his client would be excessive with no other developer at this time assisting with this expense. He requested that the policy contained in the Community Plan with respect to the construction of Templewood Drive be amended to show that the construction would take place during phase 2 of his clients development. Mr. Frank Moffat, 384 Biehn Drive, attended requesting that a full Class C Environmental Assessment be completed with respect to the extension of Biehn Drive through the wetlands. Mr. Moffat pointed out that in 1988 the extension was approved yet today society is more environmentally aware and understands the impact such a road could have on an environmentally sensitive area. He also requested that a full traffic impact study which was promised in 2002 be conducted for the Brigadoon Community area. Mr. Peter Maurer, 7 Maxwell Drive, appeared before the Committee explaining that he was not opposed to the proposed Brigadoon Community Plan but had concerns regarding the zone change for a small portion of land on Old Huron Road which would change the zoning from agriculture to commercial. He explained commercial development on those lands would cause significant traffic volumes which would impact on Maxwell Drive. He requested reconsideration of the zone change on these lands and that should the zone change be successful that the City consider signage and/or traffic calming measures on Maxwell Drive. Mr. J. McBride explained that Maxwell Drive may encure more traffic volume when Trillium Road is completed but the proposed road alignment in the Community Plan will alleviate this problem. Mr. Brad Marin, 31 Heatherwood Crescent, attended with concerns regarding the future traffic volumes within the Brigadoon Community. He explained that with development occurring DEVELOPMENT & TECHNICAL SERVICES COMMITTEE MINUTES JUNE 7. 21~2004 -58- CITY OF KITCHENER DTS-04-104 - ADDENDUM TO DTS-04-078 (CONT'D) adjacent to Brigadoon and the fact that commercial areas will be located to the north and east, this will cause traffic to pass through the internal road system. He requested that the City complete a traffic model based on the traffic study in order to verify traffic flows within the community. Mr. Marin suggested that if Biehn Drive is extended the City should incorporate more green space to compensate for the loss of the natural area. Mr. Paul Hill, attended representing the Chalon Estates neighbourhood, advising that 10 years ago the Council of the day hired consultants, conducted traffic studies, consulted with the residents of Chalon Estates and that the current proposal is a result of those studies and public consultation. Mr. Hill questioned what changes have taken place to open up discussion of the proposed road network and requested that the City reconfirm the 1994 road study. Mr. Paul Britton, MacNaughton Hermsen Britton Clarkson Planning Limited, attended representing Hallman Construction advising that his client concurs with the comments made by the transportation staff with respect to the need for the Biehn Drive extension. Mr. Britton pointed out that the only significant changes that have happened in the area since 1988 has been the land exchange between the City and Hallman Construction which has resulted in the protection of an environmentally significant woodlot. He added that he concurs with the comments made by B. Steiner with respect to the area of the Biehn Drive crossing through the wetlands and he requested the Committee support for that extension. Mr. Britton also advised that his client supported the changes to the land use at the intersection of Strasburg and Huron Roads which will have a positive effect on the traffic in the area. Ms. Anna Boenke, 324 Huron Road, attended advising that her father and grandfather own the lands south of the lands currently owned by Huron Woods Development and that they support the comments made by Mr. Code with respect to Templewood Drive. Ms. Boenke also advised that her family has no intention at this time to develop the lands and that the construction of Templewood Drive was not warranted. Councillor B. Vrbanovic advised that the Environmental Advisory Committee has reviewed the report and feel that the proposed changes will have a positive effect on the community. He added that there were some concerns with respect to the extension of Biehn Drive but no concensus was reached on that matter. Councillor M. Galloway advised that the revised Brigadoon Community Plan and the proposed municipal plan amendment and zone changes are a result of many extensive public consultations and studies and represents a positive move forward for the community. Councillor J. Gazzola suggested that consideration of clause 10.2 of the policies contained within the proposed Brigadoon Community Plan be deferred until the item dealing with the plan of subdivision 30T-03202 submitted by Huron Development Corporation which is scheduled to be heard later this meeting has taken place. Mr. Bill McGregor, 357 Biehn Drive, attended with concerns with the future development west of Strasburg Road and what impact that will have on the extended Biehn Drive. He also inquired if the future development would include Strasburg Road extending to Highway 401. Ms. Given explained that currently the land use is primarily residential in the area west of Strasburg Road and that although it has been indicated that Strasburg Road should be extended the matter has not been dealt with at this time. There were no further delegations to speak on this matter. On motion by Councillor M. Galloway - it was resolved: That Municipal Plan Amendment (MP 04/02/S/JG) being an amendment to redesignate the woodlands owned by the City as Open Space rather than Low Rise Residential on the Land Use Map and to amend the Transportation Map to show a number of proposed changes to roads and road reclassifications, be approved; in the form shown in the Amendment attached to Development and DEVELOPMENT & TECHNICAL SERVICES COMMITTEE MINUTES JUNE 21 ~ 2004 - 59- CITY OF KITCHENER 7.

"8.15 THAT in accordance with approved Environmental Assessment for the Doon South-Brigadoon Transportation Study, and specifically recommendation 8, a subsequent Class Environmental Assessment shall be required to determine the precise alignment of Strasburg Road south of Street A."

DTS-04-090 - PLAN OF SUBDIVISION 30T-03202 ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION ZC 03/07/H/DR HURON WOODS DEVELOPMENT CORP. HURON ROAD & TEMPLEWOOD DRIVE SOUTH WARD The Committee considered Development and Technical Services Department report DTS-04- 090 dated June 7, 2004, regarding a plan of subdivision and zone change application submitted by Huron Woods Development Corporation for the lands located between Huron Road and Old Huron Road and Templewood Drive. Ms. D. Ross provided an overview of the staff report advising that Huron Woods Development Corporation is proposing a new plan of subdivision and implementing zone change application for a 2.4 hectare parcel of land located between Old Huron Road and New Huron Road. The subdivision is being proposed in two stages, the first stage are two blocks for multiple residential development and stage two proposes one block for multiple residential development and one block for commercial development. Ms. Ross advised that although the construction of Templewood Drive is not required for this subdivision to proceed, the road is required for other lands so as to alleviate traffic problems in the community and therefore staff are recommending that the road be constructed at the phase 1 stage of the subdivision. Mr. Mel Code, representing the applicant, attended advising that other than the staging policy 10.2a) in the new Brigadoon Community Plan which is also reflected in the draft approval 4.23, his client is content with both the Community Plan and the subdivision recommendations with the exception of a sidewalk on the south side of New Huron Road. Mr. Code explained that at stage 1 of the proposed subdivision Templewood Drive is not required for frontage or vehicular access. No essential piped services will be contained within the roadway so development can not use the road as frontage. Mr. Code pointed out that this short portion of Templewood Drive can not immediately serve the Brigadoon community for which it is primarily intended as the land owner directly to the south of the subject lands has no intention of developing those lands and therefore the road is not needed at this time. Mr. Code further advised that the costs to his client for the construction of Templewood Drive at the phase 1 stage are excessive as such his client may be in the position of being financially able to complete the project. Mr. Code concluded advising that the condition for a new sidewalk on Huron Road as part of the draft plan of subdivision also adds a burden to his clients project and he suggested that the New Huron Road sidewalk if needed should be part of development charges. In answer to questions raised by Mayor C. Zehr, Mr. L. Masseo advised that the Planning Act does not allow the City to compel a developer to proceed with any development but that nothing would prevent two land owners entering into an agreement in order to facilitate the construction of a road which may benefit one of the owners. Mr. Masseo advised that staff are concerned that it is necessary for Templewood Drive to be in place when the Brigadoon Community requires it which should be at stage 1 of the proposed development. Mr. Larry Wolynetz, President of Huron Woods Development Corp., attended advising that the construction of Templewood Drive is a large burden on the company and in order to make the development feasible, the first phase must be completed prior to the construction of the road. Councillor M. Galloway advised that unfortunately there are no guarantees in this particular situation but that the developer has an obligation to the community and it would appear that the construction of Templewood Drive at stage 1 of the subdivision would be appropriate. There were no further delegations to speak on this matter. DEVELOPMENT & TECHNICAL SERVICES COMMITTEE MINUTES JUNE 21 ~ 2004 - 62- CITY OF KITCHENER 9. DTS-04-090 - PLAN OF SUBDIVISION 30T-03202 (CONT'D) On motion by Councillor M.
