ACTIVITY REPORTS - ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AND - CANADA'S TECHNOLOGY TRIANGLE
The Committee was in receipt of two reports each dated November 6, 1992 from Ms. V. Gibaut.
The first was the Economic Development Department Activity Report, January-October 1992. The
report highlighted some of the problem-solving activities the Department has been involved in with
respect to three city owned business parks and other areas of the city. It also illustrates work
projects planned in the next two months, plant visits made year to date and a statistical breakdown
of the type of inquiries received by the department. Ms. Gibaut indicated that the department
would be making every effort to become more pro-active in resolving outstanding issues.
The second report, Canada's Technology Triangle Activity Report, January-November 1992,
provided an overview of some of the initiatives, projects and investment missions that Canada's
Technology Triangle has been involved with.
Ms. Gibaut questioned if the Committee would like to have a summary of each activity report on a
monthly basis. Alderman M. Wagner advised that he has received questions regarding the
Highway #7 by-pass and asked that Council be kept informed on this issue.
Alderman C. Zehr questioned if a recent news article in the Kitchener-Waterloo Record was
accurate in its reference to economic development promotional activities in the province of
Quebec. Ms. Gibaut indicated that the article was not exactly accurate and explained that target
markets of the City of Kitchener, in promoting itself as an alternative location to businesses
currently located elsewhere, have generally included communities in nearby geographic centres
but it was the intention of the department to expand the target market to certain cities of Quebec
which may have companies that are considering relocation for a variety of reasons.
Alderman G. Lorentz entered the meeting at this point.

REVISIONS TO HIGHLAND WEST COMMUNITY PLAN
WEST WARD
The Committee was advised that the Department of Planning and Development was in receipt of
applications for rezoning and subdivision from Monarch Construction Limited and Cybau Holdings
Inc. with regard to two parcels of land situate between Highland Road West and Victoria Street
South. The applications under consideration also require revisions to the Highland West
Community Plan.
The proposed zoning change of Monarch Construction Limited is from Township "A" according
to By-law 878-A to Semi-Restricted Residential (R2C) with special regulations, Restricted
Residential (R2A), Semi-Restricted Residential (R2B) and Park and Public Open Space (P) all
according to By-law 4830. In this regard the Committee considered staff report PD 91/92 dated
October 23, 1992 and the proposed by-law dated September 22, 1992 attached to the report.
It was noted in the report that the applicant proposes to sub-divide 32.784 hectares of land to allow
for the creation of 111 small lot, single detached dwellings, 203 larger lot, single detached
dwellings and a 0.98 hectare parcel of land to be developed with townhouse dwellings. In
addition, the plan provides extensive open space throughout the plan, 4.197 hectares in total and
2.475 hectares of parkland of which 2.162 hectares include an existing woodlot to be preserved.
As well it was noted that revisions to the Highland West Community Plan are being processed
concurrently with these applications.
The proposed zoning change of Cybau Holdings Inc. is from Township "A" according to By-law
878-A to Semi-Restricted Residential (R2B) with a special regulation, Semi-Restricted Residential
(R2B) with a restriction of use and special regulations, Semi-Restricted Residential (R2B) with
special provisions and Park and Public Open Space (P) all according to By-law 4830 and to
Convenience Commercial (C1) according to By-law 85-1. In this regard the Committee considered
staff report PD 104/92 dated October 23, 1992 and two proposed by-laws dated October 26, 1992
to amend By-law 4830 and dated September 23, 1992 to amend By-law 85-1 which were attached
to the report.
It was noted in the report that the applicant proposes to sub-divide 20.488 hectares of land to allow
development of 58 semi-detached dwellings or small lot single detached dwellings, 4 townhouse
blocks, 4 blocks to be developed with linear townhouses, semi-detached dwellings or small lot
single detached dwellings, 3.128 hectares of open space, 1.020 hectares of parkland and a
convenience commercial block. As well revisions to the Highland West Community Plan are being
processed concurrently with these applications.
The Committee was also in receipt of staff report PD 122/92 prepared as an addendum to staff
report PD 104/92 relative to the application of Cybau Holdings Inc. that requests a revision to
Condition 65(c) as well as addition of a new condition.
It was pointed out that notice that the Committee would hold a public meeting this date to consider
these matters had previously been given.
Mr. T. McCabe introduced staff reports PD 91/92, PD 104/92 and PD 122/92 and pointed out that
the applications were somewhat related.
Ms. P. MacPherson illustrated the lands in question of each of Monarch Construction Limited and
Cybau Holdings Inc. that were being dealt with in the applications for zone change and plan of
subdivision. She explained the zoning and the features of subdivison within each of the plans and
reviewed some of the changes that have been made to the plans since the subdivisions were first
proposed by the applicants. Ms. MacPherson advised that the public notice advertisement of this

did not indicate that small lot single detached dwellings would be developed but the by-law
attached to the report includes them as it pertains to the subdivision of Cybau Holdings Inc. She
indicated that it was her understanding that both applicants are in agreement with the staff reports
and the addendum report.
In response to Alderman G. Lorentz she advised that she was not aware of any discussions with
the Region of Waterloo relative to the future widening of Highland Road West in this area.
Alderman M. Wagner questioned where a three metre wide area was located on the plan of
subdivision for a community trail and was advised that the location of the trail would be determined
at a later date when grading plans are proposed. Alderman Wagner requested that staff ensure
that the trails to be developed link with existing trails at exit points from the subdivisions. Alderman
Wagner commented that it was stated that the developer was to be responsible "where feasible"
regarding trail walkways and Mr. D. Mansell stressed that much of the area was a natural area of
the Detweiler Greenway and at this early stage it was not known how a three metre wide trail
walkway could be incorporated within the natural area.
Alderman T. Galloway referred to the pairing of residential driveways in these subdivisions and
questioned if such an approach could be taken in the Countryside subdivision of Freure
Developments on Ottawa Street South. Mr. T. McCabe advised that the Freure Development was
different in that the subdivision had zero side yards with garages on the opposite side of the zero
side yard and as a result lacked flexibility in terms of driveway layout. He explained that lots in the
subdivision applications under consideration were more conventionally sited and allowed for
flexibility in siting of the dwellings that would allow for pairing of residential driveways where it was
advantageous to do so. Mr. D. Snow explained that in regard to the Freure Developments
Subdivision there was not enough room for on street parking because of the short curb frontage
between individual driveways. It was suggested that an effort should be made to inform
prospective purchasers in this subdivision that they could not park on the subdivision streets
because they would be blocking driveways.
Alderman C. Zehr questioned what provision there was for noise attenuation with regard to lots
that back onto Highland Road West. Ms. MacPherson advised that this matter would be dealt with
through a standard condition of the Regional Municipality of Waterloo.
Alderman C. Zehr referred to the open space shown on the subdivision plans and questioned what
provision was being made for active playgrounds. Ms. MacPherson illustrated the park areas that
are above the regulatory floodline. Alderman T. Galloway expressed concern with respect to the
narrow throat access from Westforest Trail to the open space parkland extending northerly from
the rear of the lots fronting on Bankside Drive. He indicated that the lack of visibility of the general
area of the park from the street was a concern to him. Mr. P. Wetherup explained the rationale for
park development within this subdivision and noted that large designated parks that would be
utilized by the residents of this subdivision are located just outside the boundary of the
subdivisions.
Alderman M. Wagner referred to the site designated for convenience commercial zoning within the
Cybau Holdings Subdivision and suggested that the developer consider a structure that was both
nicely designed and landscaped and incorporates features that would make it more desirable for
pedestrian access as well as include bicycle parking facilities and street facilities. Mr. T. McCabe
advised that the City did not have control over aesthetics and design but could deal with and

Mr. Mark Tutton, Monarch Construction Limited, 2025 Sheppard Avenue East Willowdale,
appeared as a delegation and indicated support for the recommendations contained in staff report
PD 91/92.
Mr. Richard Hardie appeared as a delegation on behalf of a client who has lands located west of

the proposed subdivisions of Monarch Construction Limited and Cybau Holdings Inc. He stressed
that his clients support the applications that were under consideration but have a concern in
regard to staging elements and in particular with respect to conditions in each subdivision
application that apply to the extension of Victoria Street South. Mr. Hardie indicated that he had
met with regional traffic officials and discussed the development of his client's 40 acres subdivision
in relation to the construction of Ira Needles Boulevard and indicated that their concern was being
the last phase of development of Highland West and being responsible for the construction of part
of Ira Needles Boulevard. Accordingly, he indicated that he wished to review the staging of
construction of Victoria Street South as to timing and funding of such road construction and
requested the applications be deferred.
Mr. T. McCabe advised that he was totally opposed to the request of Mr. Hardie and stated that
under no circumstances would the City require construction of regional roads that are unrelated to
access matters. Mr. Hardie indicated that he would approach the Region of Waterloo to address
his concerns.
Mr. Paul Britton, McNaughton, Hermsen, Britton, Clarkson 171 Victoria Street North, appeared as
a delegation on behalf of Cybau Holdings Inc. to express support of the recommendations
contained in staff report PD 104/92 and staff report PD 122/92 (addendum). In response to issues
previously raised during the discussion of these matters, he stated that the Region was
undertaking a detailed traffic study of Highland Road West, that the trail lengths within the open
space were being addressed for the benefit of the GRCA and that with respect to parks the
Community Plan has incorporated a hierarchy of parks to address community needs and that the
parkland planned as part of this subdivision was consistent with the overall Community Plan. In
reference to the convenience commercial site in the Cybau Holdings Subdivision he advised that
the site was oversized to make provision for additional landscaping features and that the
developer has as much interest in the aesthetics of the site as the City since the development
would be serving the community that it was located within. Mr. Britton stated that he was opposed
to any deferral to further discuss the request made by Mr. R. Hardie and noted that his client has
co-operated with Mr. Hardie and shifted roads to accommodate preliminary planning as it relates
to Mr. Hardie's client's land.
No other delegations responded to the Chairman's invitation to address the Committee on these
matters.
Staff report PD 91/92 was then considered.

6. PD107/92 & PD124/92 - STAGING OF DEVELOPMENT REPORT 1993 - POST 1994
The Committee was in receipt of staff report PD 107/92 pertaining to the Staging of Development
Report 1993 - post 1994. 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 towards the scheduling and processing of plans of subdivision for residential,
industrial and commercial development. Also it was noted that it is intended the report be used by
City Council, developers and landowners, the development industry, municipal agencies and the
general public as background data and information regarding current and anticipated residential,

NOVEMBER 16, 1992
industrial and commercial subdivision development.
Further 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 introduced the Annual Staging Report which contains commitments for the next two
years. He suggested that if a developer disagreed with the financing schedule within the report
that he should approach the Finance and Administration Committee to request that the schedule
be changed.
Mr. Z. Janecki provided the Committee with a two part presentation on the Staging Report. Firstly,
dealing with staff report PD 107/92 he referred to the lot supply forecast and pointed out that the
City was on stream in respect to its calculations that were done a few years ago as they relate to
lot supply and development charges. He indicated that there was a healthy lot supply as of 1992.
Secondly, he referred to staff report PD 124/92 prepared as an addendum to PD 107/92 and
referred the Committee to the recommendations in that report which include additions and
changes to the Staging Report. In reference to parcels #32 and #33 of Chalon Estates and the
revision proposed in PD 124/92 he requested that reference to those comments be deleted as
they relate to parcel #33. Further that Chalon Estates parcel #33 be included in recommendation
#3 which advances municipal draft approval from 1994 to 1993. Mr. Janecki indicated that was
the only change he proposed to the two reports under consideration.
Mr. Mark Emery, Weston Associates, appeared as a delegation with regard to parcel #59 of
849734 Ontario Limited which was designated post 1994 and requested that it be brought forward
to 1994 in accordance with letters attached as Appendix 6 and 7 to staff report PD 124/92. He
stated that they feel the year 2001 does not recognize approved developments adjacent to his
client's land and therefore feel that draft
6. PD107/92 & PD124/92 - STAGING OF DEVELOPMENT REPORT 1993 - POST 1994
(CONT'D)
plan approval and expected development dates of 2001 should be revised to 1994. In response to
Alderman C. Zehr, Mr. T. McCabe stated that Mr. Emery's client's lands pose an environmental
risk which must be addressed, require extension of water services and an official plan amendment
and that he could not see consideration at this time.
Mr. Mel Code, Code McKinnon Ltd., appeared as a delegation on behalf of Norris/Sternberg and
indicated support of the recommendation relative to his client's land as contained in the staff
reports.
Mr. Frank Shantz, 50-53 Blue Springs Drive, Waterloo, appeared as a delegation with respect to
approximately 11 acres of land that he and his brother own in Bridgeport. He indicated that he
wished to go on record as requesting that when a subdivision is undertaken it be designated for
condominium development or estate type development. Mr. Janecki noted that the lands were
included because they're in the Official Plan and that the entire area affects approximately twelve
owners for which development is scheduled beyond the year 2000.
Mr. Paul Britton, McNaughton, Hermsen, Britton, Clarkson 171 Victoria Street North, appeared as
a delegation on behalf of Hallman Aberdeen Limited and indicated support for recommendation 3
of staff report PD 124/92. He also appeared representing Hallman Brierdale Limited and
Northlake Homes as referred to in recommendation #4 of staff report PD 124/92 and indicated
support of the recommendation.
Alderman T. Galloway referred to parcels #45 to #50 and questioned what the comments mean in
respect to servicing. Mr. T. McCabe advised that the comments relate to part of the Region's
concern for drainage and the servicing comments refer to alternatives to septic systems.
Alderman Galloway commented that residents interpret the comments as a preliminary step toward
a road to higher densities and that such comments would then be used to justify expected higher
density development. He stated that he would like to see a type of rider added in reference to the
private servicing problem related to these parcels of land.

The staff reports were then considered. The requests of Mr. Z. Janecki relative to parcel #33 of
Chalon Estates were agreed to.
It was agreed to revise the recommendation in staff report PD 124/92 in respect to parcel #45,
#46, #47, #48, #49 and #50 so as to add a phrase to the timing comments stating that any
increase in density in Pioneer Tower West area as a result of the provision of municipal services
requires approval of an official plan amendment.
Alderman T. Galloway again referred to parcels #32 and #33 of Chalon Estates and questioned if
one should actually be in the name of Chalon Estates and one parcel in the name of the church.
Staff were requested to clarify if title to these two parcels of land was in two different names and to
revise the report if this was found to be the case.
In response to inquiry of Alderman C. Zehr respecting parcel #57 staff clarified what was stated in
the addendum of staff comments respecting the severance and subsequent deletion of a portion of
lands.
The recommendations in the staff reports, as revised, were then considered.

The Committee was in receipt of Planning and Development Staff Report PD 116/92 dated
November 4, 1992 respecting the initiation of a comprehensive Urban Design Program for the City
of Kitchener. It was pointed out in the report that the Committee on October 5, 1992 had
considered a staff recommendation for inclusion of $100,000.00 in the 1993 Capital Budget for the
program but the Committee deferred the matter and instructed staff to investigate opportunities for
conducting a study in-house.
Mr. B. Stanley advised that since the October 5th Committee meeting staff have discussed the
matter with other municipalities and support an in-house design study team subject to retaining the
services of urban design professionals in order to develop a credible program. He advised that
due to previous commitments there was no staff time available in 1993 for the program and
accordingly it has been suggested that $25,000.00 be budgeted in 1994 and $25,000.00 in 1995
to develop the program utilizing outside professional guidance to assist City staff where necessary
with the program.

CHICOPEE WARD
The Committee was in receipt of Planning and Development staff report PD 117/92 dated October
29, 1992. The report deals with proposed revisions to PD 189/89, Grand River South Community
Plan - Area 1 and to PD 127/89, Grand River South Community Plan - Areas 2 and 3 in order to
recognize the completion of the Idlewood Creek Master Drainage Plan.
Mr. B. Liddle advised that representatives of MacLaren Engineering were in attendance to provide
a presentation with respect to the Idlewood Creek Master Drainage Plan. He pointed out that the
information documented within the report counters some of the arguments that Mr. J. Olinski has
advanced relative to the impact on his property of developments that have taken place in the
watershed.
A presentation was then made by MacLaren Engineering relative to the 442 hectares of the
Idlewood Creek Drainage Basin which contains significant slope variance within the watershed.
The main objectives of the plan were identified and in particular flood and erosion control issues
were

identified and listed as well as environmental issues.
Alderman T. Galloway questioned if it was being recommended that certain channelized portions
of the drainage basin be removed. He was advised that that question was part of the
considerations to take place in the next step of the study.
Alderman C. Zehr commented that the report represented an audit of present systems that were in
place to control run-off from developed areas.
Mr. B. Liddle noted that existing control facilities were designed some years ago and do an
adequate job in that regard but a question to be addressed in future was the matter of resulting
water quality.
