commitment of funding and lands for the University of Waterloo campus in the Downtown. At that

Councillor J. Gazzola raised a concern regarding Council dealing with this matter at this time when
there are so many unanswered questions. Councillor Gazzola suggested that it was premature to
decide on this proposal at this time and that more details were required including what support could
be expected from the Region and senior levels of government.
Mayor C. Zehr advised that after the June 14 meeting, it was decided that any questions regarding
the proposal were to be provided to staff in order to be answered prior to this meeting. Mayor Zehr
also advised that the recommendation before Council is to approve the proposal including the transfer
of the Epton site and the $30 M Capital commitment, subject to a satisfactory Memorandum of
Understanding being reached between the City and the University of Waterloo. Councillor G. Lorentz
pointed out that although not all the information regarding the proposal is available at this time, this is
a starting point for an innovative partnership for the City that will have a positive impact. Councillor C.
Weylie pointed out that in the Waterloo region, there are approximately 50,000 citizens that have no
regular family doctor and she believes that the proposal being made may assist in attracting more
health care professionals. Councillor M. Galloway spoke in support of the proposal advising that this
is a great opportunity for the City to enter into a key partnership with the University of Waterloo.
Councillor J. Smola advised that based on the information provided, the proposal will create jobs in
the Downtown providing a return on the investment made for the rejuvenation of the Downtown.
Councillor B. Vrbanovic spoke in support of the proposal advising that it is a significant step in the
revitalization of the Downtown and that there is still a considerable amount of work to be completed.
Mayor C. Zehr advised that in many situations the City of Kitchener must show its leadership and in
this particular case it is again leading an innovative process in developing a partnership that will
benefit both the University and the City.
A recorded vote was requested.
In Favour: Mayor C. Zehr and Councillor J. Smola,
B. Vrbanovic, M. Galloway, G. Lorentz and C. Weylie.
Contra: Councillor J. Gazzola
Motion Carried.
Mr. Trevor Unruh, Chair of the Local Chapter of Habitat for Humanity, stated that the Development
and Technical Services Committee had requested that the Habitat for Humanity organization meet
with staff and the area residents of Tagge Crescent in order to find a compromise with respect to the
application to modify the draft approval of Plan of Subdivision 30T-92010. Mr. Unruh advised that no
compromise was possible as there were unresolved issues dealing with the proposal and some
general issues with respect to development in the area. Mr. Unruh provided Council with a letter
dated June 29, 2004, outlining the organization's position with an attached revised Plan of
Subdivision and he requested Council's support of this revised plan.
Mr. Douglas Stewart, Planning & Engineering Initiatives, attended representing the applicant advising
that the revised Plan of subdivision represents a compromise in this matter by proposing 20 building
units, 10 being single family dwellings and 10 semi-detached dwellings. Mr. Stewart further advised
that both the original and revised plans of subdivision conform to the City's Zoning By-law. In answer
to several questions from Council, Mr. Unruh advised that they are looking for a decision at this
meeting in order to meet construction timelines and, although it would be an option to sell the
property and build elsewhere, the organization believes it is important to develop the subject lands as
part of the organization's mandate within the region. Mr. Unruh added that should Council consider
giving a grant-in-lieu of the development charges, then the organization could consider reducing the
20 lots to 18. He further added that if Council did not approve the amendment to the Plan of
Subdivision, the only options available would be to appeal the decision to the Ontario Municipal Board
or sell the land. L. Masseo advised that it would appear that the revised Plan of Subdivision complies
with the Zoning By-law, therefore staff could support the plan.
Councillor J. Smola asked that it be noted in the record that Habitat does not own Lots 9 and 10 as
shown on the revised plan.
Mr. Craig Dubecki, 252 Tagge Crescent, attended advising that most of the residents are not
opposed to the development of 14 lots for the Habitat for Humanity Homes as long as they are single
family dwellings and compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood. He added that they may even

CITY OF KITCHENER
consider the addition of two more lots as a compromise. Mr. Dubecki suggested that perhaps one lot
could be developed as a park as there are many children living in the area.
Mr. Andrew Dierickse, 243 Tagge Crescent, attended advising of concerns with respect to the traffic
issue and in particular the traffic caused by the bridge on Bridgeport. Mr. Dierickse also raised a
concern regarding safety should a park be proposed when they are no sidewalks on Tagge Crescent.
In answer to several questions raised by Council, L. Masseo advised that the current draft Plan of
Subdivision would allow the registration of the plan with semi-detached homes on those lots that
could accommodate them. He further advised that the bridge and traffic plans for the Bridgeport area
have been deferred at the Region until August to allow staff to look at traffic capacity within the
Bridgeport area. There has been no indication when the long-term improvements will be made to the
bridge and Highway 7.
Councillor J. Smola advised that he attended the meeting with the residents where they indicated
they have concerns regarding safety in the area with respect to traffic, that the development of the
lots should fit the neighbourhood and any vacant lots must be maintained. Councillor B. Vrbanovic
suggested that perhaps the subdivision could be re-configured with smaller lots allowing for 18 single
family dwellings and that the lot indicated as Lot 3 on the revised plan be used as a parkette. He
further suggested that Council could consider providing a grant-in-lieu of the development charges in
order to facilitate a development that is acceptable to the residents and yet allows the Habitat for
Humanity organization to meet its social mandate. Mayor C. Zehr advised that he could support the
suggestion put forward by Councillor Vrbanovic but the grant-in-lieu of the development charges
would amount to $70,000 to $100,000 which may be difficult to rationalize.
A motion by Councillor B. Vrbanovic, seconded by Councillor J. Gazzola, to defer this matter to the
August 16 Development and Technical Services Committee meeting was voted on and was lost.
Moved by Councillor C. Weylie
Seconded by Councillor M. Galloway
"That the application to modify the draft approval to Plan of Subdivision 30T-92010, located on
Tagge Crescent in the City of Kitchener, submitted by Habitat for Humanity Waterloo Region /
Edwin Brissette, be refused."
A recorded vote was requested.
In Favour: Councillors C. Weylie, M. Galloway, G.
Lorentz and J. Smola.
Contra: Mayor C. Zehr, Councillors J. Gazzola and
B. Vrbanovic.
Motion Carried.
Mr. Zyg Janecki, Planning & Engineering Initiatives, attended wishing to discuss the conveyance of
Joseph Schoerg Crescent by JHS Properties Limited to permit development of the Vista Ridge
subdivision.
Mayor C. Zehr disclosed a pecuniary interest in regard to the Vista Ridge subdivision discussions as
he has an interest in property within the subdivision and he did not participate in any discussion or
vote on the matter. Councillor J. Smola assumed the Chair.
Council was in receipt of a letter from Mr. Z. Janecki dated June 24, 2004, which Mr. Janecki
reviewed. He advised that his client 346874 Ontario Limited - Vista Ridge, are having difficulty
fulfilling their conditions of draft Plan of Subdivision on Lookout Lane due to an impasse attributed to
JHS Properties Inc. and their unwillingness to convey lands to the City. Mr. Janecki explained that a
condition of JHS's subdivision agreement states that in the event Stage 9 of their plan is not
registered prior to his client's intended development, JHS is to grant an easement to the City to allow
the construction of Joseph Schoerg Crescent which would in turn allow for the development of Vista
Ridge to the south. Mr. Janecki advised that although Vista Ridge is in a position to proceed with
development of their plan and requests have been made for the conveyance of the roadway, JHS
refuses to meet this condition of their Plan of Subdivision. He requested that Council enforce
compliance of the JHS subdivision agreement to allow Vista Ridge to proceed and direct staff to
refuse issuance of any further building permits until JHS has fully compiled.

CITY OF KITCHENER
In answer to questions raised by Council, Mr. Janecki advised that he believes most of the issues
between the two companies have been addressed but there are still some questions regarding cost
sharing and storm water management plans but these could be dealt with in isolation of the
conveyance of the roadway.
Mr. Paul Puopolo, Planning & Engineering Initiatives, attended advising that Vista Ridge is ready to
start tendering for works to begin the subdivision but are being held up due to JHS Properties
unwillingness to act as required by the subdivision agreement. He advised of an issue regarding an
easement to JHS which can be dealt with but that the condition regarding the conveyance of the road
is clear and that the road should be granted to the City in order to allow Vista Ridge to proceed. Mr.
Puopolo added that there have been ongoing meetings and correspondence and there is no need for
another agreement to be entered into on this matter and requested that the City enforce the legal
agreements with JHS. Councillor J. Gazzola asked if the delay in the conveyance of the road has
any impact other than delaying the Vista Ridge subdivision. Mr. Puopolo advised that Mr. and Mrs.
Airens have purchased the Betzner Farmhouse but have been delayed since December 2003 by the
lack of road access which is a result of the refusal by JHS to convey the road.
Mr. Paul Britton, MacNaughton Hermsen Britton Clarkson Planning Ltd, attended representing JHS
Properties Inc. advising that the matter brought before Council by the representatives of Vista Ridge
is a private one between two property owners and as such the City should not be involved. Mr.
Britton explained that the issues between the two developers are not simple and are related and
should not be dealt with in isolation of the other issues. He added that there are obligations which
have not been met by Vista Ridge with respect to easements and cost sharing but that these must be
worked out by the two parties and that it is not appropriate for Council to intervene. In response to
questions with respect to Mr. & Mrs. Airens and their property, Mr. Britton advised that it was his
understanding a severance application has been made to the Committee of Adjustment and that this
matter could be dealt with separately from the issue between the two developers.
F. McCrea, Assistant City Solicitor, advised that it is not appropriate for the City to prepare any
agreements between the two parties and that either party could undertake that task based on the
minutes of the meetings that have taken place. Mr. G. Stewart, General Manager, Development &
Technical Services, added that staff have been trying to mediate between the parties to conclude the
matter, but that the City should not take a role in developing any agreements. F. McCrea added that
some of the conditions contained in the subdivision agreements for both parties are dependant on
other conditions and if there is a need for clarification of any of the conditions of the agreements the
parties could return to the Ontario Municipal Board.
L. MacDonald, City Solicitor, suggested that Council meet into in-camera to receive legal advice
subject to solicitor-client privilege.
Moved by Councillor B. Vrbanovic
Seconded by Councillor G. Lorentz
"That Council meet in-camera to receive legal advice subject to solicitor-client privilege."
Carried.
The meeting then recessed at 10:05 p.m. to allow for in-camera discussion and re-convened at 10:23
p.m.
Councillor J. Gazzola asked if the City should become involved in this matter. L. MacDonald advised
that the City was involved when the matter was before the Ontario Municipal Board which has
jurisdiction over this matter. She suggested it is not appropriate for the City to be involved at this time
as there is no immediate public interest, adding that in the case of Mr. & Mrs. Airens, they have
submitted an application to the Committee of Adjustment which should deal with their situation.
Moved by Councillor J. Gazzola
Seconded by Councillor M. Galloway
"That no action be taken at this time on the request by 346874 Ontario Ltd. - Vista Ridge to
enforce the subdivision agreement for Plan of Subdivision 30T-94009 - JHS Properties and
that the parties be encouraged to resolve their private dispute as quickly as possible."

Mayor C. Zehr resumed the Chair.
Councillor J. Gazzola advised that Mr. Shawn Seed of 64 Harcourt Crescent was in attendance to
request a temporary exemption to the Zoning By-law. Councillor Gazzola explained that Mr. Seeds's
residence was destroyed by fire and that he is requesting permission to locate a temporary trailer on
the property while his house is being rebuilt.
Moved by Councillor J. Gazzola
Seconded by Councillor J. Smola
"That an exemption to Zoning By-law 85-1 be granted to Mr. Shawn Seed for his property

Councillor C. Weylie brought forward Clause 9 of the June 21, 2004, Development and Technical
Services Committee report as there were interested parties in attendance.
Council was advised of an addendum report DTS-04-090, dated June 29, 2004, which was circulated
to members of Council recommending an additional clause in the conditions in the Plan of
Subdivision.
Councillor C. Weylie put forward a motion to amend the conditions to allow the construction of
Templewood Drive at Stage 2 of the development rather than Stage 1, which failed due to lack of a
seconder.
Moved by Councillor C. Weylie
Seconded by Councillor M. Galloway
"That Clause 9 of the Development and Technical Services Committee report be adopted as
amended by including the following new Condition 16 in Section 2.2 of the Conditions of the

not included as a growth related item within the City's Development Charge By-law prior
to such works being constructed, the Subdivider agrees to make satisfactory financial
arrangements with the City's Director of Engineering, for the construction of a 1.5 metre
wide concrete sidewalk along the south side of Huron Road (new) across the entire
frontage of the proposed subdivision."
Carried.
Council was in receipt of Community Services Department report CSD-04-136, dated June 25, 2004,
regarding a request for parking access to the Market Square from King Street East.
F. Pizzuto, General Manager, Community Services Department, advised that the Cora Group has
requested access from King Street into their parking garage at Market Square. This would allow for
the construction of additional parking spaces in anticipation of the move by The Record into the
building. F. Pizzuto advised that access would be "right-turn entrance only" no left-turns off of King
Street. It is being proposed that modifications be made so only right-turns can enter the ramp and the
installation of bollards as a physical centre median on King Street to prevent left-turns. In answer to
questions from Council Mr. Pizzuto advised that with the entrance off King Street the vehicles would
exit the building onto Duke Street. He added that Transportation staff do not support the proposal.
Mr. Adrian Conrad, Vice President, Cora Group, attended advising that the details as to when the
entrance way would be installed and the hours of operation have yet to be determined. Mr. Conrad
further advised that his company has taken the design of the entrance way into consideration but
assured Council it would be an improvement to the streetscape.
Councillor M. Galloway raised a concern with the use of bollards in this proposal and the additional
costs to taxpayers to maintain them and remove for special events.

Moved by Councillor J. Lorentz
Seconded by Councillor J. Smola
"That the request from the Cora Group for an access to Market Square from King Street East
be approved, subject to an agreement satisfactory to the City Solicitor including full cost
recovery by the City with respect to the separate access and that the proposal does not
include the use of bollards as a means of traffic control."
Carried.
Councillor M. Galloway requested that it be noted he is opposed to the entrance into Market Square
from King Street.
Mayor C. Zehr advised there were members of the public in attendance regarding Clause 9 of the
Finance and Corporate Services Committee report dealing with the 2004 Development Charges By-
law. Council was in receipt this date of Financial Services Department report FIN-04-34 dated June
23, 2004, recommending the residential and non-residential development charge rates.
Councillor J. Gazzola advised that at the Finance and Corporate Services Committee meeting many
issues were raised by staff which would have financial implications and asked if the associated costs
have been calculated. Ms. P. Houston, General Manager, Financial Services, advised that it was
difficult to quantify the costs for all the issues raised and therefore the costs have not been provided.
In answer to a question from Councillor Gazzola, Ms. Houston advised that it has been recommended
to defer the rate increases to January 1, 2005 in order to address concerns raised by the
development industry regarding their marketing strategies and the outstanding sales that would be
affected should the rates be implemented immediately.
Moved by Councillor G. Lorentz
Seconded by Councillor M. Galloway

FIN-04-34 dated June 23, 2004 be improved and implemented effective January 1, 2005, and

Sosnoski, General Manager of Corporate Services and City Clerk, explained that Council on February
9, 2004 adopted a resolution to amend Chapter 408 (Animals) to remove the provision for granting
exemptions for the purposes of keeping pigeons. The report is recommending that the By-law be
consider for three readings this date, but the amendment would delay the effective date until August
