The Committee was in receipt of the following reports:
Addendum memorandum dated June 20, 1994 - further recommendations re: Doon South-
Brigadoon Transportation Network and Corridor Study
- PD 94/51 dated May 27, 1994 - Report of the Project Team regarding the evaluation of
Alternative "E" for the Doon South-Brigadoon Transportation Network and Corridor Study
- PD 94/15 dated March 8, 1994 - Staff recommendations related to the Doon South-Brigadoon
Transportation Network and Corridor Study
- Official Plan Amendment Application 94/2 Report
Mr. T. Boutilier advised that members of the Project Team were in attendance this date. He noted that at
the Committee's March 21st meeting, reports respecting the Doon South-Brigadoon Transportation
Network and Corridor Study and the West Side Study were referred to the meeting this date. Mr.
Boutilier explained that as a result of discussions with several parties last week, he had prepared
the memo dated June 20th proposing a revision to recommendation 2.4 in Staff Report PD 94/51 to
add reference to the Stauffer Log Cabin, and four additional recommendations. Mr. Boutilier then
commented on the models considered within the reports and noted that the only outstanding issue
was the alignment of Windrush Trail. He pointed out that collector road alignments would be
considered at the Community Plan Stage. He discussed the merits of the recommended Alternative
"E" and stated that overall, it was a better plan than what was originally recommended, but was
more costly to the extent of an additional $1.2 million capital cost, mostly for road widenings. He
then explained each of the new recommendations contained in his June 20th memo.
The Committee was also in receipt of a memorandum advising that L.A.C.A.C. endorses Alternative "E" of
the Doon South-Brigadoon Transportation Network Study.
Mr. T. Boutilier distributed a copy of a letter dated June 15, 1994 from Heather Guest requesting less than
a 26 metre road right of way through Caryndale. As well, she favoured widening Westmount Road
to New Dundee Road to facilitate access to Highway 401 at Highway 97.
Mr. T. Boutilier advised that he had received a copy of a fax from Ms. Pat Nippel that was transmitted just
30 minutes before the start of the meeting and he had not had an opportunity to review its contents.
A copy was distributed to Committee members.
Mr. Mark Tutton, Monarch Construction appeared as a delegation in respect to the issue of the level of
planning for local or minor road corridors. The Committee was in receipt of letter dated June 17,
1994 from Mr. G. Scheels on Monarch's behalf. The only request Mr. Tutton made was to ask that
the Committee delete local road corridors from their lands, as these should be the subject of
consideration at the Community Plan Stage.
Mr. Glenn Scheels, Cumming-Cockburn Limited, appeared as a delegation on behalf of Cybau Holdings
which owns approximately 400 acres of land in the northern portion of the Dundee
community. The Committee was in receipt of a letter dated June 17, 1994 from Mr. Scheels. Essentially,
it was requested that the Cybau lands become part of the planning process to ensure their Iongterm
plans were not compromised. Mr. B. Stanley noted that the Cybau lands would

be coming up for discussion this date and that it was premature to make any changes to the
recommendations unless the Committee does not accept the staff recommendations to refuse
Official Plan Amendment Applications 90/6 and 91/6.
Mr. P. Britton, MacNaughton Hermsen Britton Clarkson, appeared as a delegation on behalf of Hallman-
Aberdeen Limited. He advised that he was in support of recommendation 2.9, of the June 20th
Addendum memorandum as it relates to his client's holdings. He also referred to his client's
holdings on Tilt Drive and was in favour of recommendation 2.4 in Staff Report PD 94/51.
MFS.
Jean Haalboom appeared as a delegation on behalf of the Society for the Preservation of Upper
Doon (S.P.U.D.) and noted that while they appreciate Alternative "E" now proposed, they had
certain other concerns. These include the impact of a possible 6 lane Homer Watson Boulevard on
the Heritage Conservation District, environmentally sensitive features of Doon South, several
heritage issues, a future intersection affecting Tilt Drive and various visual heritage aspects along
with environmental issues relative to the road system.
Councillor T. Galloway stated that he understood adoption of the Study would preclude a 6 lane Homer
Watson Boulevard.
Mr. Ivan Scott appeared as a delegation on behalf of the General Church of the New Jerusalem In
Canada which owns a 380 acre land parcel situate between Reidel/Stauffer/Groh/Dodge and New
Dundee Roads. He advised that the Church supports the Study conclusions respecting the major
road systems but would rather hold back on the issue of scenic roads which could impede the
planning process relative to their lands. Mr. T. Boutilier responded that recommendation 2.4 in Staff
Report PD 94/51 would deal with such matters.
Mr. Douglas Cowley, a property owner on New Dundee Road, appeared as a delegation with regard to
the proposal for a major road corridor and requested more thought be given to using Road #8 so
that traffic could be taken straight down to Highway #401. Mr. T. Boutilier stated that the Study
recommendation was based on policies of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications
which objects.
Ms. Carol Wiebe, MacNaughton Hermson Britton Clarkson, appeared as a delegation on behalf of
673099 Ontario Limited, which is owned by Freure and Kenmore Homes and has lands to the west
of Strasburg Road, south of Huron Road. She stated they support recommendation 2.9 and it was
her understanding the alignment of Strasburg Road was being confirmed by the Study. She noted it
was important the Transportation Study be confirmed. Councillor T. Galloway stated that he was
surprised that recommendation 2.9 was being considered this date and noted that he had been
planning to debate the location of Strasburg Road during consideration of the zone change and
subdivision applications of Hallman Aberdeen.
Mr. Bob Black appeared as a delegation on behalf of Hearthwood to support staff recommendation 2.9
confirming the location of the Strasburg Road extension which resolves other outstanding issues.
He noted that his client had worked on the subdivision for the last 7 years and that the second
phase of the development is dependent on Strasburg Road.
Councillor C. Zehr advised that he supports the recommendations in Staff Report PD 94/51 and the
Addendum memorandum dated June 20, 1994 distributed this date and tabled a motion to support
the recommendations in both documents.
Councillor T. Galloway stated that generally, he was pleased with the outcome of this matter but he did
have concern with the fact that there was no prior consultation with the project team and requested
recommendation 2.9 be deleted from the Staff Report and from the motion. He

suggested when residents become aware of the Strasburg Road alignment, objections would be raised.
PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES
JUNE 20, 1994 - 111 -
CITY OF KITCHENER
Accordingly, he recommended an alignment study be done on Strasburg Road since a lot has
changed in the last 10 years. Mr. B. Stanley pointed out that the Strasburg Road alignment had
been determined by a study team after very detailed and comprehensive study and analysis.
Further, he noted that land dedications have been taken based on the alignment and key decisions
have been predicated on the alignment. Finally, he indicated that a re-confirmation was being
requested.
Councillor C. Zehr commented that the entire planning process had been a good one and that
recommendation 2.9 was neither new nor premature.
It was requested that Councillor Zehr's motion be split into 2 parts and a recorded vote taken.
It was resolved:
1. That the Recommendations contained in Staff Report PD 94/15, and Official Plan Amendment
Application 94/2 (Doon South - Brigadoon Transportation Network Corridor) be refused.
2.That the network of Transportation Corridors, as recommended in Exhibit 1 of the Addendum to the
Doon South - Brigadoon Network and Corridor Study (May, 1994) and attached to this Staff
Report, be approved.
3.That the Doon South - Briqadoon Transportation Network and Corridor Study (January, 1994) together
with the Addendum (May, 1994) be forwarded to the Region of Waterloo for endorsement,
and inclusion in the current ROPP Review.
4.That Staff be directed to initiate a detailed design study of Tilt, Stauffer, Dodge, and Groh Drives, in
conjunction with representatives of LACAC and affected property owners of the Doon South
Community Plan, to examine:
a) the planned functions of the Scenic Roads including roadway volumes, geometrics, vehicular and
pedestrian safety;
b) the integration of the Scenic Road functions and the Stauffer Log Cabin with surrounding planned
Doon South Community (land use, collector and local roadway pattern, landscape and
tree saving plans, subdivision and development controls, etc.); and
c) the integration of the recommendations of the Doon South Creek Sub-Watershed Study.
5.That an Amendment to the Kitchener Municipal Plan, and the Doon South Community Plan be initiated
to incorporate the revised Collector Road system for the Doon South Community.
6.That Doon South Drive, from its current terminus to the West to South Collector be planned as two lane
collector road with a right-of-way of 26 to 28 meters.
7.That the existing portion of New Dundee Road (east of Pinnacle Hill) not be closed, and that it meet
with the new realigned New Dundee Road with a "right-in, right-out" intersection.

8.That the City of Kitchener conduct a detailed environmental Assessment Study, as required in Phases
3, 4, & 5 of the Environmental Assessment Process to determine the precise alignments for
the following roadways:

include a Heritage Impact Assessment, in accordance with Sections 5.3.15, 5.3.17, and
5.3.18 of the Kitchener Municipal Plan.
9.That the Alignment of Strasburg Road from its current terminus south of Trillium Drive to a point just
north of Stauffer Drive be reconfirmed as:
concluded in the "Transportation Planninq and Enqineerin.q Study - Huron Industrial Development",
prepared by Marshall Macklin, Monaghan Limited, August 1982;
ii)
approved in the "Secondary Plan for Huron Business Park and Transportation and Enqineerinq
Study, Huron and Strasburg Roads" (PD 93/82), February 14, 1983 (City Council) and
September 15, 1983 (Regional Council); and
iii)
approved in the "Bri.qadoon Community Plan" (PD 54~88), April 15, 1991 (City Council and June
13, 1991 (Regional Council).
It is the opinion of this Committee that the approval of these recommendations is proper planning for the
City."
Recommendations 2.1 to 2.8 inclusive were put to a recorded vote and carried. Mayor D.V. Cardillo and
Councillors Weylie, Galloway, Yantzi, Leadson, Smola, Zehr, Lorentz, Stortz and Wagner voted in
favour and none voted in the negative. Councillor J. Ziegler was absent.
Recommendation 2.9 was then put to a recorded vote and carried. Mayor D.V. Cardillo and Councillors
Weylie, Yantzi, Leadston, Smola, Zehr, Lorentz, Stortz and Wagner voted in favour while only
Councillor T. Galloway voted in the negative. Councillor J. Ziegler was absent.

Councillor G. Lorentz disclosed a Conflict of Interest and abstained from all discussion as his parents live
within the area affected by the West Side Study.
At the March 21, 1994 meeting of the Committee, it was agreed to defer Official Plan Amendments 94/1,
91/6 and 90/6 and refer them to the meeting this date for consideration.
In this regard, the Committee was in receipt of Planning & Development Staff Report PD 94/54 dated
June 14, 1994. This report was prepared as an addendum to Planning Staff Report PD 63/93 and
contains revisions to Official Plan Amendment Application 94/1.
Staff report PD 69~93 dated February 5, 1994 was redistributed this date. This report provides

an update of Kitchener West Side Study Part 1 Report: Existing Conditions and Land Needs, and staff
recommendations concerning Official Plan Amendments for areas beyond the existing urban
settlement boundary.
The Official Plan Amendment Report for the West Side Study was also redistributed this date. The study
area consists of approximately 760.8 hectares (1,880 acres) and is generally bounded on the north
by the K-W Expressway and Bleams Road; on the east by Westmount Road; on the South by
Huron Road; and on the west by Trussler Road. The purpose of the amendment is to refine the
boundary between Settlement Policy Areas "A" and "E" in the Regional Official Policies Plan; delete
an existing "Special Study Area" designation and related specific policy and a portion of existing
"Low Density Residential" designation and to add "Agricultural, Business Park, Major Open Space,
Low Density Residential and Major Institutional land use designations to the Plan for Land Use.
The Committee was also in receipt of the report for Official Plan Amendment Application 91/6 - Hesch

Farm. The purpose of the amendment is to change the land use designation from Agricultural to
Low Density Residential for lands situated in the Dundee planning community comprising
approximately 39.7 hectares (98 acres) located south of Huron Road and east of Westmount Road.
The Committee was also in receipt of the report for Official Plan Amendment Application 90/6 - Cybau
Holdings Inc. The purpose of the Amendment is to change the land use designation from
Agricultural to Low Density Residential for two areas situated in the Dundee planning community.
The first parcel consists of approximately 46.5 hectares (114.91 acres) located in the vicinity of the
southwest corner of Westmount and Plains Road. The second parcel consists of approximately
91.2 hectares (225.38 acres) located west of Stauffer Drive.
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. Boutilier gave a presentation with respect to the reports. He noted that there were two issues of
concern, being: the justification for additional residential designation and the justification for
additional business park land. He pointed out that there was no justification statistically at this time
for additional residential lands to be brought in. Further, he commented that there was no reliable
method to project the need for Business Park designated lands and recommended that the city
continue the principle of replacing such lands with the amount of lands lost as a result of revised
designations. He then discussed the history of the Settlement Boundary Line and the approaches
taken by the city and by the Region in this regard. Mr. Boutilier commented on the servicing issue
and advised that there was an error in the background to the report. One area had been said to be
unserviceable by the Strasburg Trunk; however, it had been found the area was serviceable by
either the Borden or Strasburg Trunk, if capacity was available. The other issue of significance to
this matter was watershed studies. It was staffs opinion the settlement Boundary Line should be
coincident with the natural gravity servicing line. Also, with a more compact urban form expected in
future, it was appropriate to reserve capacity in the trunk sewer to accommodate changing land use
trends. Accordingly, he suggested that lands outside the Settlement Boundary limits be reviewed in
10 years.
Mr. Boutilier then commented on the reasoning for recommendations to refuse the Official Plan
Amendment Applications of Hesch Farms and Cybau Holdings Inc.
Mr. Chris Pidgeon, Cumming Cockburn Limited, appeared as a delegation on behalf of Milla, Weilands,
Shantz, landowners in opposition to the redefinition of the Settlement Line. His letter dated June
15, 1994 was distributed with the agenda. It was his view that designation of the

- OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT 91/6 - HESCH FARM

- SOUTH WARD (CONT'D)
lands as Settlement Policy Area "A" in the Regional Official Policies Plan meant there was a commitment
for urban land uses to apply and he reviewed the contents of his letter to justify this position.
Mr. Pidgeon advised that Mr. Mark Somerville was present earlier but had to leave and he wished to read
notes of the presentation Mr. Somerville had planned to make. He advised that Weilands, with
reliance on the Official Plan, had acquired their property in July 1991. The purpose of the Official
Plan in the eyes of the Ontario Municipal Board was described. Essentially, it was his view that it
was grossly unfair for the City to now contract the urban form.
Mr. Mark Nowak appeared as a delegation on behalf of the owners as well as himself as part-owner, of a
75 acre land parcel presently under aggregate extraction at the corner of Bleams and Trussler
Roads. A submission dated June 17, 1994 was distributed this date. History of the
subject property and related planning actions was reviewed and he requested that Business Park
designation, as the only logical use, be extended to Trussler Road. City Council's resolution
(2.1.3.2) of May 19, 1992 was referred to.
Mr. T. Boutilier commented that many circumstances had changed since 1992 since additional
documents were now available. He then outlined what he had found after taking over this
PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES

Amendment and reviewing the contents of the file. Mr. B. Stanley commented that until the
watershed study was completed, it was premature to designate urban land outside the watershed
study. Mr. Nowak pointed out that the West Side Study was completed at substantial cost with a
vision for the future and was now being discarded. He asked that the earlier commitment made be
honoured. Mr. Bob Kieswetter advised that basically, gravel was exhausted and they were now
mining sand. He stated that originally it was indicated they would go much deeper for gravel and
that is what the Paragon Engineering report was based on. Mr. Nowak stated they were only asking
for what they had two years ago which was a commitment for Business Park designation.
Mr. Glenn Scheels, Cumming Cockburn Limited, appeared as a delegation on behalf of Cybau Holdings
Inc. Official Plan Amendment Applications 91/6 & 90/6. His submission dated June 17, 1994 was
distributed with the Committee agenda. It was his view that supply issues should not be the only
determinant of whether to designate additional lands for future residential purposes. He referred to
other criteria and reasoning in this regard which justifies designating the Cybau lands at this time.
The recommendations in the staff reports were then considered.
On motion by Councillor M. Yantzi,
it was resolved:
"That with respect to the staff recommendations in PD 94/54 as they affect the Weiland property et al in
the vicinity of Trussler Road and Ottawa Street, the line between the Rural/Urban Settlement
Areas be coincident with the servicing line as defined by the "City of Kitchener - West Side
Study Trussler/South Plains Area - Servicin,q Study", prepared by Para,qon En,qineerin,q Ltd."
On motion by Mayor D.V. Cardillo,
it was resolved:
"1. That Official Plan Amendment 94/1 which recommends that the West Side Study Area be
designated Agricultural, Major Open Space, Business Park, Major Institutional and Low
Density Residential, be approved, subject to:

1) That OPA 94/1 be revised to recommend that the Boundary between Settlement Policy
Areas "A" & "E" in the Regional Official Polices Plan be refined to be coincident with the identified gravity

by the "City of Kitchener - West Side Study Trussler/South Plains Area - Servicin,q Study",
prepared by Para,qon En,qineerin,q Ltd, July, 1991.
2)
That OPA 94/1 be revised to designate those lands on the south side of Bleams Road, west of Gehl
Place and within the defined gravity servicing limits of the Strasburg Trunk Sanitary Sewer
System, as "Business Park". Further, that staff meet with representatives of Select Sand
and Gravel to precisely determine the extent of lands presently in aggregate extraction which
are within the natural gravity servicing limits of the Strasburg Trunk Sanitary Sewer System,
and such lands to be designated "Business Park" in OPA 94/1.
3) That
the attached revised Schedule "A" (which amends the Kitchener Municipal Plan) be
incorporated into OPA 94/1, and the previous Schedule "A" (which amended the Official
Plan) be deleted.
2.That the City of Kitchener request the Regional Municipality of Waterloo to incorporate this Amendment
together with the revised Schedule "A" into the Kitchener Municipal Plan by Modification at
the time of approval of the Municipal Plan.

- SUBDIVISION APPLICATION 30T-88007
- REVISION TO BRIGADOON COMMUNITY PLAN
- SOUTH WARD
The
Committee was advised that the Department of Planning & Development was in receipt of
applications for zone change and subdivision submitted by Hallman Aberdeen Ltd. with regard to
lands situate in the vicinity of Huron and Biehn Drive. The subject land comprise 29.55 hectares
(73.0 acres) of undeveloped lands with minimal frontage on both the south side of Huron Road and
the west side of Biehn Drive. The proposed zoning change is from Agricultural (A) according to
Township of Waterloo By-law 878A to Restricted Residential (R2A) with special regulations, Semi-
Restricted Residential (R2B) with a special list of uses and special regulations, and Semi-Restricted
Residential (R2) according to By-law 4830; and Neighbourhood Shopping Centre Zone (C-2),
Community Institutional Zone (I-2) and Hazard Land (P-3) according to By-law 85-1. In this regard,
the Committee considered Staff Report PD 94/43 dated May 26, 1994 and two proposed by-laws
each dated May 24, 1994 attached to the report.
It was noted in the report that the Subdivider proposes to rezone the 29.5 hectare (73.0 acre) parcel and
create a subdivision consisting of 41 residential blocks consisting of a mixture of approximately 400
single detached, semi-detached or linear townhouse units, a multiple dwelling block, a community
institutional block, a neighbourhood commercial block, a storm water

management block, two open space blocks, two future development blocks as well as the conveyance to
the City of a large parcel of land within the Strasburg Creek flood plain.
In concert with these applications, a revision to the Brigadoon Community Plan was proposed.
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 the applications and pointed out that the planning process had taken some six
to eight years to reach this stage. He noted that the only outstanding issue was the intersection of
Street Three with Biehn Drive and it was staff's view that the connection was critical.
Mr. Z. Janecki then summarized environmental and traffic issues that have been of concern and pointed
out that the main issue has been the Street Three location. He commented on the road network
and activities in that regard to benefit the environment. He distributed a memorandum dated June
20, 1994 as an addendum report to Staff Report PD 94/43. The addendum contains a
recommended revision to the proposed by-law, a revision to Condition #60, and addition of a new
Condition #74, the purpose of each he explained in detail.
Mr. Ken Meinzinger appeared as a delegation and advised that he owned a property on Biehn Drive and
had lived in the Brigadoon area for six years. Mr. Meinzinger advised that all of his concerns were
submitted to staff and were itemized on pages A. 16 and A. 17 of the report. He acknowledged that
many of his environmental and traffic concerns had been addressed; however he did have a
concern in that during construction with very hilly terrain involved, a lot of soil/silt could be washed
into creeks and ponds and recommended there be a proactive approach to avoid this situation.
Further, he questioned who would be responsible for providing pedestrian access via community
trails to the existing ponds following the completion of development.
Mr. T. McCabe advised that the Department of Parks & Recreation was responsible for the timing of the
installation of pedestrian trails. He pointed out that concern was expressed earlier this year at a
Community Services Committee meeting with regard to the trail issue which has nothing to do with
the subdivision developer's responsibilities, but was related to the way the City funds the
PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES
JUNE 20, 1994 - 116 -
CITY OF KITCHENER
construction of trails. He noted that this City policy was currently being reviewed.
In response to the concern expressed with regard to siltation, Mr. D. Mansell advised that the Public
Works Department has been working with the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Grand River
Conservation Authority and applicant's engineer's to provide the best possible siltation controls.
Mr. Meinzinger then made the following comments: there was no active parkland in the subdivision, he
raised the question as to why the subdivision had three access points, requested Street Three be
eliminated and noted that the area should have been planned as a conservation area many years
ago.
Mr. P. Britton, MacNaughton Hermsen Britton Clarkson, appeared as a delegation on behalf of Hallman
Aberdeen and commented that the applicant has been working with the most stringent watershed
reports in order to develop this subdivision. He pointed out that Condition #53 details measures
requiring erosion/siltation controls, and Condition 58(d) deals with pond access. Mr. Britton stated
that the applicant was dedicating over 45 percent of the area of the plan of subdivision over an
above cash in lieu dedications and stated that it has always been intended that there would be a full
connection to Biehn Drive and that the Street Three connection to Biehn Drive had been the subject
of at least three public meetings. He stated that he was very satisfied that the street design and
connection had the least impact option on the environment.
Councillor T. Galloway stated that he was not satisfied that the Street Three connection to Biehn

Drive was necessary. Councillor Galloway then posed a number of questions and comments pertaining
to traffic routing, Street Three being contentious within the neighbourhood, environmental
degradation resulting from the road connection, the terms of the development
agreement not being strong enough with regard to erosion/siltation control, who was responsible if
siltation measures failed, the need for a clause requiring the developer to assume any rehabilitative
costs, and he questioned if condition 53(C) could be revised to cover responsibility on the part of
the developer.
Mr. J. Wallace advised that through the subdivision agreement, the developer could be requested to
rehabilitate provided there was some reasonableness as to what was being requested.
Mr. D. Mansell stated that there were sufficient controls reflected in conditions 52, 53 and 54 requiring the
developer to be responsible should there be a breach of erosion/siltation measures.
Councillor B. Stortz recommended that Messrs. J. Wallace and D. Mansell address the question of a
breach and report to Council.
Councillor T. Galloway then raised the issue of Community Trails and Mr. T. McCabe re-stated that staff
were considering the matter of timing of trail development but could make recommendations to the
Parks & Recreation Department. Councillor T. Galloway noted that a developer in Glencairn
refuses to install double driveway ramps and questioned if the City could stipulate they be installed.
Mr. T. McCabe pointed out it was an issue respecting City standards and the Public Works
Department could address it.
Councillor T. Galloway raised other issues involving the lack of active parks and if a possible delay of the
infrastructure program took place, the subdivision not proceed until new Huron Road was in place to
Strasburg Road. These concerns were responded to by staff.
The recommendations in the staff reports were then considered and the revisions requested this date in
Mr. Janecki's memorandum were agreed to.
The recommendations, as revised, were then considered.
On motion by Councillor B. Stortz,
