On motion by Alderman G. Lorentz, the minutes of the regular meeting held on October 26, 1992, as mailed to the Mayor and Aldermen, were accepted. A. Communication referred directly to file (1) Letter dated October 19, 1992 from the Honourable Dave Cooke, Minister of Municipal Affairs, acknowledging Council's resolution opposing party affiliation at the municipal level. This resolution will be considered as part of his Ministry's current review of the Municipal Election process. Mayor D.V. Cardillo indicated that Council was in receipt of a memorandum from the Manager of Licensing, dealing with a request from the owner of Mr. C's Variety Plus to install video machines in the store located at 725 Ottawa Street South. Alderman J. Ziegler requested that this matter be included on the agenda of the November 16 meeting of the Planning and Economic Development Committee. Prior to the Committee meeting date, he requested that members of Council visit the Ottawa Street premises. Mrs. M. Dinner, 53 Montcalm Drive, appeared as a delegation on behalf of area residents who are opposed to clause 8 of the Planning and Economic Development Committee report of this date wherein approval was being recommended for the temporary closure of Heritage Drive. Mrs. Dinner advised that she was representing residents of Montcalm, Indian and McGee who were surprised that the temporary closing of Heritage Drive had been approved by Planning and Economic Development Committee when the Planning Department had recommended that it not be closed. She indicated that most people felt that there was no need to petition support opposing the closing due to the department's recommendation. Mrs. Dinner pointed out that a road that was temporarily closed has never been re-opened and it was unrealistic to suggest that once Heritage Drive is closed that it could be re-opened. She noted that since the original plan for the area was approved many changes to the community had taken place and these changes were taken into consideration by various City departments in their recommendation that Heritage Drive not be closed. Accordingly, she asked that Council reverse the decision of the Planning and Economic Development Committee and not close Heritage Drive. Mr. Allan Unrau, 368 Heritage Drive, appeared as a delegation in favour of clause 8 of the Planning and Economic Development Committee report. Mr. Unrau stated that he moved into his property in August 1992 and had been provided with advice from his lawyer that Planning documents called for Heritage Drive to be closed. Mr. Unrau stated that he attended the September public information meeting and had left that meeting concerned over the recommendation of staff that Heritage Drive remain open. Mr. Unrau requested that Council approve the Committee recommendation to temporarily close the road. For purposes of clarification, Alderman G. Leadston pointed out that the closure of Heritage Drive was for a one year trial period only and that if as a result of the closure, patterns and problems develop that are detrimental to the community, the road closure would be reconsidered. Mr. Darwin Witmer, 436 Heritage Drive, appeared as a delegation in support of clause 8 of the report of the Planning and Economic Development Committee. He advised that in May he had gathered a petition with 107 signatures supporting closure of Heritage Drive. Mr. Witmer indicated that with the closure, hard data could be collected as to whether or not the road should be re-opened or remain closed and time would be provided for further dialogue within the neighbourhood respecting the merits of closure. Mr. Witmer reviewed the City's commitment to close the road and illustrated documents that were attached to the purchase agreement of residents when they purchased their home which indicated the intent to close Heritage Drive. He noted that closure was registered on title of the subdivision and that the Grand River North Community Plan also makes a clear statement of intent to close the road and accordingly, stated that the City has a moral obligation to do so. In summary, Mr. Witmer stated that he believed the closure and the accompanying traffic safety measures would be beneficial. In response to Alderman M. Yantzi, Mr. Witmer commented that hard data was needed to show whether the road should be open or not. Alderman T. Galloway questioned what traffic numbers Mr. Witmer thought would warrant the road to be opened or to be closed. Mr. Witmer indicated that he could not provide a figure in this regard and recommended that before settling on a figure that all alternative solutions be considered. COUNCIL 1VHNIYFES - 659 - NOVEMBER 9, 1992 Moved by Alderman J. Ziegler Seconded by Alderman C. Weylie That clause 8 of the report of the Planning and Economic Development Committee of this date be adopted. Alderman M. Wagner stated that there was no such thing as a temporary road closure and that any road that was closed would never be re-opened. He indicated that he was in favour of the road remaining open given that the residents were equally divided on the issue and the Planning, Traffic and Fire Departments, as well as the School Board were in favour of the road remaining open. Alderman C. Zehr commented that the Committee recommendation provided the greatest flexibility to properly resolve the matter. In respect to fears of the residents that additional traffic would find its way onto streets such as Montcalm as a result of the closure, he suggested that through traffic would find out very quickly that it was not advantageous to use streets such as Montcalm. Alderman T. Galloway commented that residents of Oakhurst Cr. and Heritage Drive had a compelling argument for the closure, however, he stated that he had difficulty with not having the parameters set out and agreed to before hand as to what would be acceptable in terms of results arising from the closure of the road. He asked Mr. Snow, in his opinion, what parameters would be acceptable. Mr. Snow indicated that he could not establish numbers in this regard and that it was necessary for staff to look at traffic patterns as well as traffic impacts and prepare an analysis in this regard. He noted that there was a potential for an increase in traffic on Indian Road and Montcalm, but that the results were unknown at this time. At this point, Alderman G. Leadston raised a problem with regard to parking on Heritage Drive adjacent to the swimming pool and noted that it was taking place in angular fashion. Mr. Snow advised that the issue of parking along this section of Heritage Drive had not been finalized pending the outcome of the question of closure of Heritage Drive. He indicated that in early 1993, staff would undertake to better define parking along Heritage Drive as parallel parking. In response to Alderman Leadston, Mr. Snow indicated that traffic lights at the intersection of Montcalm and Ottawa Streets would soon be warranted. Alderman Leadston pointed out that Grand River High School had an access onto Indian Road that was a problem for the neighbourhood and questioned if the School Board could be approached to limit access of Grand River High School to Heritage Drive only. Alderman C. Weylie commented that the traffic lights at the intersection of Lorraine Avenue and River Road were a problem and Mr. Snow advised that this was likely a timing problem which staff could address. Moved by Alderman G. Leadston Seconded by Alderman C. Zehr That clause 8 of the report of the Planning and Economic Development Committee of Council of this date be amended to insert the following as a second paragraph therein: "Further, that during the one year closure of Heritage Drive, City traffic officials undertake to: 1) meet with and encourage an exchange of views between representatives of residents groups favouring/opposed to the closing and that they be invited to participate in an analysis of data collected during the trial period, 2) meet with police officials to review enforcement of traffic regulations, 3) meet with officials from the Waterloo County Board of Education including representatives for Crestview Public School and Grand River Collegiate to discuss traffic concerns in the area and to invite a co-ordinated approach to resolving off school site parking problems on local streets, 4) determine what type of analysis would be utilized to review the results of the closure, 5) as soon as possible determine some general parameters in meetings with resident representatives as to what is an acceptable result of the closure, COUNCIL 1VHNUTES - 660 - NOVEMBER 9, 1992 6) immediately provide the Planning and Economic Development Committee with information respecting any negative impact of the closure and with update reports on the closure as necessary during the next twelve months."

Witmer advised that they would be willing to serve as resident representatives relative to future discussions of the Heritage Drive closure. Mr. Brian Kaufman, 54 Moore Avenue S, appeared as a delegation in regard to clauses 5 & 6 of the report of the Planning and Economic Development Committee of Council. Moved by Alderman J. Ziegler Seconded by Alderman C. Weylie That clauses 5 & 6 of the report of the Planning & Economic Development Committee of Council of this date be adopted. Alderman B. Stortz stated that since the November 2 Committee meeting, he had further discussion respecting the Committee decision to delete the requirement for asphalt paving of the rear parking spaces and he now wished to include it as a condition of the zone change. Moved by Alderman B. Stortz Seconded by Alderman G. Lorentz That the Planning and Economic Development Committee report of Council of this date be amended as follows: 1) in respect to clause 5 so as to retract item 2 of the resolution which approved deletion of the requirement for asphalt paving of the rear parking spaces, 2) in respect to clause 6 so as to add a condition designated No.2 which reads "that the owner agrees to complete the new asphalt area and required parking spaces, as shown on the attached site plan, to the satisfaction of the Director of Development and to re-number existing Condition 2 as Condition 3 which is slightly revised so as to reference Conditions 1 &2. Carried. COUNCIL MINUTES - 661 - NOVEMBER 9, 1992 The main motion of Alderman J. Ziegler respecting clauses 5 & 6, as amended, was then put to a vote and Carried. Mr. Terry Good, 101 Mount Hope Street, appeared as a delegation to object to clause 7 of the report of the Planning and Economic Development Committee of Council of this date which recommends approval of Zone Change Application 92/29/K/RM of the Mutual Group. Alderman B. Stortz disclosed a conflict of interest and abstained from all discussion of clause 7 as he has a pecuniary interest due to his wife being employed by Mutual Life. Mr. Good stated that with the development of the subject parking lot, there were no green open spaces left along King Street between the Waterloo City boundary and Rockway Gardens. He expressed concern about the process utilized to permit development of the parking lot wherein approval was given for temporary occupancy by City Council on August 17 following preliminary circulation of notice of the zone change to area property owners in a letter dated August 7, 1992. He commented that the methods were improper and undemocratic as residents in reality had little or no time to respond to the circulation to present their views to the City. He commented on various parking lots within the area and noted that most were ugly in nature and lacked proper setback and landscaping. In summary, Mr. Good asked that the parking lot that has been developed be removed and that the area be restored to its original grassed condition and that proper application process be followed in respect to development of the lands. Alderman M. Yantzi commented that he was in agreement with comments made by Mr. Good with respect to the fact that parking lots in the area were unattractive. Alderman M. Wagner pointed out that the Department of Planning & Development was in the process of developing an Urban Design Initiative which would address some of the concerns raised by Mr. Good with respect to the appearance of parking lots. Moved by Alderman J. Ziegler Seconded by Alderman C. Weylie That clause 7 of the report of the Planning & Economic Development Committee of Council of this date be adopted. Carried. Alderman B. Stortz previously disclosed a conflict of interest and abstained from all discussion and voting respecting clause 7 as he has a pecuniary interest due to his wife being employed by Mutual Life. Ms. Anne Hoshooley appeared as a delegation, representing the parents of the students of Signatures School of Modelling, which has requested permission to operate a refreshment stand on the sidewalk along King Street during the Santa Claus Parade on November 21, 1992. It was indicated that they wish to sell hot chocolate, apple cider, muffins and cookies along the parade route. Moved by Alderman B. Stortz Seconded by Alderman C.
