Some Committee discussion took place during which Mr. Willmer pointed out that there would be strong

future consideration of design standards across the City and an expression of the City's concern for
Urban Design. Mr. T. McCabe indicated that a proposal could be ready to send out in
approximately 4 weeks and suggested the Committee consider holding a special meeting in August

6.PD 13/92 - CEDAR HILL NEIGHBOURHOOD - ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION 92121CICL (CITY OF
KITCHENER) - VICTORIA PARK WARD.
The Committee was in receipt of a City Initiated Application to change the zoning on certain lands within
the Cedar Hill Neighbourhood which are designated "Low Density Conservation" in the City's
Official Plan. The proposed zoning change is from Semi-Restricted Residential (R2B), Semi-
Restricted Residential (R2) and General Residential (R3) to Semi-Restricted Residential (R2B) with
a special list of uses and Semi-Restricted Residential (R2B) with a special list of uses and special
regulations all according to By-law 4830.
In this regard, the Committee considered Staff Report PD 13/92 dated February 4, 1992 and the
Proposed By-law dated March 2, 1992 attached to the report. The lands which are the subject of
the zone change were illustrated on Schedule "A" also attached to the report. It was noted in the
report that the purpose of this City initiated Zone Change is to implement the provisions of the Low
Density Conservation designation as contained in the Cedar Hill Secondary Plan.
It was pointed out that notice that the Committee would hold a public meeting this date to consider this
matter had previously been given.
Mr. T. McCabe emphasized to the Committee that this zone change was a City Initiated Application and
that staff were not aware of any controversy or concerns of residents and that the changes simply
implemented the City's Official Plan Policies.
A number of residents were in attendance at the meeting and indicated their concurrence with the staff
recommendation.
No delegations responded to the Chairman's invitation to address the Committee on this matter.

7.PD 12/92 - 152 SHANLEY STREET - OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT APPLICATION 91/8 AND
ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION 911101SILB (ARNOLD HIGHMAN) BRIDGEPORT-NORTH
WARD.
The Committee was in receipt of reports regarding a joint Official Plan Amendment Application and Zone
Change Application submitted by Arnold Highman relative to lands known municipally as 152
Shanley Street which is .34 hectares (.85 acres) in size and is located on the northwest corner of
Shanley and Duke Streets. The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment is to change the Official
Plan land use designation on these lands from Low Density Residential to Low Density Residential
with a special policy, in order to allow for the conversion of a vacant industrial building to a 37 unit
multiple residential building. In this regard, the Committee considered the Official Plan Amendment
report illustrating the lands which are the subject of the change which are shown on Schedule "A"
attached to the report. Also attached to the report was the Proposed Amendment to the Official
Plan undated and the Proposed By-law undated to adopt this Amendment to the Official Plan.
The Committee also considered Staff Report PD 12/92 dated February 6, 1992 and the Proposed Zoning
By-law dated January 13, 1992 attached to the report. The proposed zoning change is from Semi-
Restricted Residential (R2) and Light Industrial (LI) to Semi-Restricted Residential (R2) with special
regulations, all according to By-law 4830. It was noted in the report that the purpose of both
applications was to allow for the conversion of a vacant industrial building to a 37 unit apartment
building.
It was pointed out that notice that the Committee would hold a public meeting this date to consider these
matters had previously been given.
For record, the Chairman advised that the Committee was in receipt of a letter dated March 18, 1992 from
Alderman J. Smola, outlining his concerns with regard to the project and a letter that was distributed
this date from Mr. P. Britton commenting on the parking requirement.
Mr. L. Bensason pointed out that the reports and zoning by-law make provision for 1.19 parking spaces
rather than the required 1.25. However, in a letter received this date from Mr. P. Britton, he advised
that his client wishes to meet the minimum 1.25 parking space requirement for Non-Senior Citizen
Housing. Mr. Bensason indicated that the Proposed By-law should be revised to reflect this
change. He noted that to achieve this number of parking spaces, it would be necessary to either
reduce the number of units or find a way to increase the actual number of parking spaces.
Mr. Alan Rimmer, Shanley Street, appeared as a delegation in respect to his submission dated March 17,
1992 distributed with the agenda. His submission commented on problems respecting Water
Pressure, the unfinished Mount Hope-Huron Park Secondary Plan, why the question of Tax

Arrears should be a factor in these applications and parking concerns within the proposed development
as well as on the Street. He questioned why it was the practice of the Planning Department to
embrace what a developer proposes and pay only marginal attention to citizens' concerns. He also
pointed out that no one had seen the water studies referred to in this matter and consequently as
evaluation could not be made but he did request that the water issue be resolved before
development was considered. In response to Alderman B. Stortz, Mr. Rimmer suggested that the
development would be more appropriate if the old 1 storey building was removed and only 30 units
allowed and this would also address any shortage of parking spaces. Also, in regard to comment
about the 1.5 metre (5 feet) high solid fence not being high enough, Mr. T. McCabe advised that 8
feet was unusual. However, he pointed out that fencing was a site plan detail and perhaps a 6 foot
solid decorative fence would be useful from the point of view of the adjoining neighbours.
Mr.
Paul Britton, MacNaughton Hermsen Britton Clarkson Planning Ltd., 171 Victoria Street North,
appeared as a delegation along with Mr. Neil Koebel and indicated that he was in general support
of the staff recommendation and that as stated in his letter, the applicant was prepared to abide by
the 1.25 metre parking space requirement for Non-Senior Citizen Housing. In addition, he advised
that it was now proposed to develop 35 units composed of 29 standard units and 6 Senior Citizen
Housing units. He commented that if the development concept was very successful within the
seniors market, the developer may wish to increase the number of seniors units. Mr. Britton pointed
out that his client is the purchaser and that any outstanding taxes at this time are not as a result of
his client actions. In respect to the project itself, he advised that no expansion of the existing
building was proposed, the project fits the goals and objectives of the secondary plan as approved
by City Council, concerns over water pressure and supply had been addressed, windows of
adjacent properties were 5 feet above the ground elevation of the subject property and therefore
headlights should not be a problem and that snow would be stored on islands on the site and any
excess thereof would be removed from the site.
Alderman T. Galloway expressed concern with regard to the parking issue and questioned how a landlord
would deal with the problem. Mr. N. Koebel advised that the parking issue in effect looks after itself
as if there was a parking deficiency any tenants in need of parking spaces would not be interested
in renting a unit. Mr. Britton tabled "Document Brief - Shanley Terrace Apartments" with the
Committee and noted that the report contains the water servicing analysis undertaken by Paragon
Engineering Ltd.
Mr. Randy Dodd, Paragon Engineering Ltd., explained procedures undertaken to address the water
question and commented that in his opinion the existing pressure in the area was acceptable and
the project was satisfactory.
Mr. Sid Gearhart, Co-Chairman of the Neighbourhood Association, questioned if any monitors were put
on houses while fire testing of the water system took place. Mr. R. Dodd explained the effect of
pressure at the street and pressure in homes and noted that some factors could combine to affect
existing dwellings.
Mr. & Mrs. G. Morgan, 460 Duke Street West, advised that their property water lines had been renewed
but they still did not have good water pressure. They also questioned the site plan reference to
road widening on Shanley Street and were advised that no physical change to the sidewalk and
boulevard would take place.
Ms. Irene Krzewski, 395 Duke Street West, advised that she had replaced pipes in her property and that
the water pressure was fine.
A neighbour who's property abuts the subject property suggested that a cement or block wall should be
installed to buffer noise rather than a decorative fence. He was advised by Mr. Britton that there
was substantial difference between the fencing methods and that the owners of

the Shanley Terrace Apartments would be totally responsible for maintaining both sides of the decorative
fence.
Mr. D. Snow commented on the traffic aspect of the proposed development and noted that it was
estimated that it would generate 240 trips per day being 120 trips in and 120 trips out with only
small volumes during peak periods and it was the view of staff that the project does not have a
significant impact on traffic in the area.
No other delegations responded to the Chairman's invitation to address the Committee on this matter.
Alderman J. Ziegler, Chairman, advised the Committee members and those in attendance of the
concerns expressed in the letter dated March 18, 1992 from Alderman J. Smola and that Alderman
Smola would be in attendance at the March 30th Council meeting to comment further on these
matters.
The Official Plan Amendment report was considered.

PD 25/92 - 63 & 67 WOOLWICH STREET - DEMOLITION CONTROL APPLICATION 92/1/RM

The Committee was in receipt of Staff Report PD 25/92 dated March 16, 1992 concerning a
Demolition Control Application submitted by Jens Nielsen with respect to property known
municipally as 63 & 67 Woolwich Street. It was noted in the report that a dwelling on the subject

The Committee was in receipt of Staff Report PD 17/92 dated February 27, 1992 advising that
approval of the zone change of Dorothy Olafson was conditional upon receiving a letter of release
from the Region which was required to be satisfied prior to February 15, 1992. It was noted in the
report that the condition has not been met as Mrs. Olafson is of the opinion that all of the land
should be bought by the Region if it requires it for road widening purposes as opposed to her
conveying it as part of the approval process and that staff are unable to resolve the issue at this
point in time. Accordingly, staff has recommended that Council's approval be rescinded as the
Regional condition has not been satisfied.
No delegations were registered respecting this matter.

report subject to minor changes as recommended in PD 23/92. It was noted in the report that the
Staging of Development Report was prepared by the Department of Planning and Development in
close co-operation with the Department of Public Works and other City Departments. It is prepared
as a document outlining municipal intention toward the scheduling and processing of plans of
subdivision for residential, industrial and commercial development. Further, it was noted that the
report is intended to be used by Kitchener City Council, developers and landowners, the
development industry, municipal agencies and the general public as background data and
information regarding current and anticipated residential, industrial and commercial subdivision
development.
Also, the Staging of Development Report is intended to be approved by City Council and integrated
with the City's approved Ten Year Capital Budget. The main focus of the report relates to
anticipated municipal approval dates of draft plans of subdivision for those lands requiring municipal
expenditures for growth related services and the relationship of these dates to Council's scheduling
of monies to fund these projects or alternatively, the developer's responsibility to install municipal
services in exchange for development charge credits.
Mr. T. McCabe reviewed the purpose of the report and advised that it was hoped to bring the next
Staging Report forward to the Committee much sooner. He indicated that the way the report was
structured it was becoming a more valuable tool to monitor the marketplace. He also referred to
definitional aspects of "credit for services" and "front end financing" in terms of the development
process. Finally, Mr. McCabe advised that the Development Division has limited staff resources this
year as a result of staff working additional stages of By-law 85-1 and that the Staging Report has 17
Subdivisions recommended for Municipal Draft Approval and that realistically no additional request
could be taken on.
Mr. Z. Janecki took the Committee through the reports and noted that there were 100 properties on
the accompanying map with more than 80 of them being residential and the balance being industrial
and located primarily in Huron Business Park. He asked that the Committee take particular note of
the Residential Lot Supply Forecast which averages seven years as itemized on pages 6 & 7 of
report PD 23/92. Mr. Janecki commented that the industrial activity has been at a Iow level given
economic conditions and that 83 acres were scheduled for Draft Approval in 1992 and 25 acres for
Draft Approval in 1993.
Mr. Janecki advised that staff were in receipt of an application from Steed & Evans to amend the
Official Plan and rezone industrial land for residential purposes and staff concurs with their request
that it be considered in 1993 with it being initiated in 1992. Mr. Sam Head was in attendance on
behalf of Steed & Evans and concurred with Mr. Janecki's remarks.
Mr. Paul Britton, MacNaughton Hermsen Britton Clarkson Planning Ltd., advised that he was
attending the meeting in support of the report as it pertains to his clients. With respect to the parcel
of land shown as 41 on the Staging Plan, Mr. Britton expressed concern relative to the comments
section. Mr. Janecki advised that the comments section referred to the issue of an East West
Collector Road Study and commented that until review of the road alignment was completed, it was
uncertain what effect a road system might have on the subject lands and that he could not agree
with request to delete the reference in the comments section.
Alderman T. Galloway questioned the recommendation in PD 23/92 regarding Parcel #28 and Mr.
T. McCabe advised that the recommendation for deletion was being made because the matter has
been resolved.
No other delegations responded to the Chairman's invitation to address the Committee on this
matter.
The staff reports were then considered. It was agreed that Clause #2 of the recommendation in
