Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance.
Planning Comments:
The subject lands are located at 32 Forwell Road. The majority of the property is designated General
Industrial Employment and zoned General Industrial (M-2) with Special Regulations 31R, 55U
affecting portions of the lands in By-law 85-1, and EMP -2 (General Industrial Employment) with Site
Specific Regulations 89 and 44 affecting portions of the lands in By-law 2019-051. Lands located in
close proximity to the Grand River are designated Natural Heritage Conservation and zoned Hazard
Land Zone (P-3) in By-law 85-1, and NHC-1 with Environmental Overlays in By-law 2019-051. A
guided site walk was conducted on September 4, 2019.
The subject lands have an overall area of 23.81 hectares and are currently under-utilized. The
applicant has submitted a Master Development Plan demonstrating that the proposed lot additions will
allow the balance of the lands to be developed with additional industrial uses. Staff is satisfied that
the orientation of the lot additions will provide for sufficient flexibility for the future development and/or
subdivision of the retained lands.
The applicant is proposing to sever two parcels of land as lot additions to adjoining industrial lands at
36 Centennial Road and 80 Centennial Road. These are shown as Parcel A and Parcel B on Map 1
and the Updated Severance Sketch attached to this report. The Severance Sketch has been updated
from the version previously circulated to include Parcel C, which represents the lands that will be
conveyed to the City as parkland dedication. A Draft Reference Plan should be prepared based on
the updated Severance Sketch, to the satisfaction of the City's Director of Planning, and a condition
has been included in this regard.
In support of the application a Vegetation Management Plan, Geotechnical Slope Stability
Investigation and an Environmental Constraints Plan, were submitted to define the limits of the
developable area and to establish the lot boundaries which are outside the areas of environmental
constraints. The application was deferred in December 2019 to allow the applicant to provide
additional information regarding the Erosion Hazard Limit and the Slope Stability Setback. The owner
has completed additional fieldwork and a topographic survey. This information was combined with the
Slope Stability Assessment to determine the precise location of the erosion hazard limit and slope
stability setback (which defines the limit of development and the eastern limit of Parcel B). The updated
plans have been approved by the Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) and are also
acceptable to the City's Environmental Planner.
As a result of this work, the eastern limit of the proposed lot addition to 80 Centennial Road has been
revised to coincide with the recommended slope stability setback and buffer, and the Severance
Sketch, Master Development Plan and Environmental Constraints Plan (as submitted December 18,
2019) have been updated accordingly. Therefore, the entirety of the lands to be conveyed are outside
the area of the environmental constraints. Prior to initiation of any site development works, grading
or issuance of a building permit on the lands to be severed or lands to be retained, Site Plan Approval
is required, and a condition is recommended in this regard.
The City of Kitchener Parks staff has requested the dedication of land to fulfill parkland dedication
requirements for the proposed severances. The City of Kitchener wishes to secure lands to permit
the long-term, future extension of the Walter Bean Trail, through Kolb Park and along the top of the
river bank through Parcel C. The current Walter Bean Trail alignment is along Centennial Road and
Forwell Road (shown on Map 1) and is less desirable than a route which will continue along the river
to the extent possible. Investigations and study will be required as part of future development(s) for
the remainder of the trail alignment through the retained lands. Potential alignments that may be
evaluated could be a trail that continues along the Grand River, or which may turn west, south of
Parcel C, connecting to Forwell Road.
A number of conditions are recommended to facilitate the parkland dedication. First, the parcel to be
dedicated includes the area of environmental constraints (Grand River Valley), and a 6 metre Erosion
Access Buffer which is beyond the stable top of slope, and is regulated by the GRCA. The 6 metre
access buffer is the preferred location of the future trail extension, however the GRCA requires an
addendum to the Slope Stability Assessment confirming that construction of a trail in this location will
not impact the stability of the slope. Prior to endorsement of the deed, the City must be satisfied that
the GRCA will be able to support the trail within the Erosion Access Buffer. A condition has been
included in this regard.
Second, the City must also be satisfied that the lands conveyed are uncontaminated. As such, prior
to acceptance of Parcel C into the City's ownership, a Record of Site Condition (RSC) is required. The
timing associated with completion of an RSC is uncertain and may take more than a year to complete.
Therefore, the City is recommending that a modified Subdivision Agreement is registered on title of
the lands to be retained to facilitate this conveyance. A Letter of Credit guaranteeing the completion
of the RSC, and an Acknowledgement and Direction to register a Transfer is required to facilitate this
approach. These steps will ensure that the lands will be conveyed to the City, and that the City can
secure an RSC before accepting the lands.
With respect to the criteria for the subdivision of land listed in Section 51(24) of the Planning Act,
R.S.O. 1990, c. P. 13, Planning staff is of the opinion that the proposed lot additions conform to
the City's Official Plan and will allow for orderly development that is compatible with the existing
industrial area. The dimensions the retained lands and resultant lots comply with regulations of
By-law 85-1 and 2019-051 and the parcels are appropriate and suitable for the existing and future
use of the lands. The resulting parcels front onto established public streets, and the lands are
serviced with independent and adequate connections to municipal services. Staff is of the opinion
that the proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms to the Growth
Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe.
Based on the foregoing, staff recommends that the applications be approved, subject to
conditions_
Operations (Design and Development) Comments:
Parkland dedication is required for the application taken as land. The policy standard rate of 2%
under the Established Industrial Areas will apply, with the land area for dedication representing
0.048ha of the severed lands.
The City does not normally accept hazard lands as parkland dedication; however, the 2% land
dedication is not sufficient to satisfy the land requirement for a desired trail connection along the
river to the Walter Bean Trail. In this instance, Parks will accept hazard lands as parkland
dedication, provided the trail connection can be located within the 6m Erosion Access Allowance,
subject to approval by the GRCA.
Building Comments:
The Building Division has no objections to the proposed consent applications.
Transportation Services Comments:
Transportation Services has no concerns with the proposed for lot additions to 36 and 80
Centennial Road. However, a further comments and discussion will be provided should the
applicant proceed with future development described through the Master Concept Plan.
Engineering Services Comments:
Engineering has no comments or concerns with the proposed lot additions. All properties (32
Forwell Rd, 36 Centennial Rd and 80 Centennial Rd) have the necessary services. If development
is proposed in the future, additional comments and/or requirements will be identified through the
associated development applications.
Region of Waterloo Comments:
Regional staff have no objection to the subject applications.

REPORT
Planning Comments:
The subject lands are located at 32 Forwell Road. The lands are designated and zoned for industrial
uses and contain a ready -mix concrete plant, however large areas of the site are under-utilized. The
applicant is proposing to sever the lands into several individual parcels for future development, and as
a first step they are requesting Consent to convey two parcels of land as lot additions to adjoining
industrial lands at 36 and 80 Centennial Rd. The property is located adjacent to the Grand River,
contain steep embankments, and are regulated by the Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA).
A number of documents were submitted in support of the consent application including a Vegetation
Management Plan, Geotechnical Slope Stability Investigation and an Environmental Constraints Plan.
The supporting documentation has been circulated to commenting City Divisions & Agencies. Through
review of the documentation, the GRCA, the Region, City Parks and City Planning Staff have
requested that the application be deferred so that the applicant may provide additional information
regarding the Erosion Hazard Limit and Slope Stability Setback. These limits are requested to be
shown on the supporting drawings in order to allow commenting authorities to complete their review.
This information will define the limit of development and the location of the proposed lot line for Lot
Addition 2.
Parks staff is also interested in securing a parkland dedication along the Grand River to allow for a
future extension of the Walter Bean Trail. The exact location of such a trail connection and the
associated land dedication relies on the GRCA's review and approval of the extent of slope and flood
erosion hazards. At the time of writing, the applicant is actively completing additional on-site
investigations, and staff anticipate that this information should be available and reviewed for a
Committee Meeting early in the winter.
Based on the foregoing, staff recommends that the applications be deferred for a period of up to
3 months (March 17, 2020), but that they be permitted to return sooner.
Operations (Design and Development) Comments:
Requests deferral of the application.
Building Comments:
The Building Division has no objections to the proposed consent applications.
Transportation Services Comments:
Transportation Services has no objections to the proposed consent applications.
Engineering Services Comments:
Engineering Services has no objections to the proposed consent applications.
Region of Waterloo Comments:
The subject lands at 32 Forwell Road are identified as a High Threat in the Region's Threats
Inventory Database. The adjacent lands at 80-88 and 20 & 36 Centennial Road are identified as
a High Threat and Known Threat in the Region's Threats Inventory Database. The threat
indicators are associated with the former and existing industrial uses on the property including
the storage of underground tanks.
Regional Staff acknowledges that the Environmental Screening Questionnaire submitted with the
subject application has indicated that environmental documents (i.e. a Phase I and II
Environmental Site Assessment) have been prepared or issued for the property. Regional Staff
has requested these studies from the owner/applicant.
Regional Staff requests deferral of the subject applications for 32 Forwell Drive to allow Regional
Staff to review any associated environmental documents to determine whether a Record of Site
Condition is warranted to assess potential contamination issues on the subject lands.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That Applications B2019-074 and B2019-075 be deferred for a period of up to 3 months
(March 17, 2020), but that they be permitted to return sooner.

RE: Applications for Consent B 2019-074 & B 2019-075
32 Forwell Road, City of Kitchener
Gatekey Aggregates Inc.
GRCA COMMENT:
The Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) recommends deferral of these consent
applications to allow the applicant to provide additional information outlined below.
BACKGROUND:
1. Resource Issues
Information currently available at this office indicates that the subject property contains the
erosion hazard, river valley and floodplain associated with the Grand River and Kolb Creek
as well as the regulated allowances adjacent to these features. The property also contains
the regulated allowance to wetlands located on adjacent properties.
Based on our review of Figure 1, prepared by IBI Group, dated October 15, 2019:
• The proposed lands to be severed and added to 36 Centennial Road are located
outside the GRCA regulated area.
• The proposed lands to be severed and added to 80 Centennial Road contain the
erosion hazard, the Grand River valley as well as the allowance to these feature and
the floodplain.
A copy of our resource mapping is attached.
2. Legislative/Policy Requirements and Implications
Due to the presence of the resource features noted above, a portion of the property is
regulated by the GRCA under Ontario Regulation 150/06 — Development, Interference with
Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation.
In accordance with GRCA and Provincial Policy, new development, including the creation of
new lots, is not permitted in the floodplain or erosion hazards. Upon review of the submitted
materials, the proposed applications will not create any new lots as the severed portions are
to be added to existing lots.
It should also be noted that no new hazards will be added to 80 Centennial Road as both
properties already contain a portion of the hazards that are also on the lands to be severed.
Page 1 of 2
Based on our review of the Concept Plan, we note that a portion of the land to be added to
80 Centennial Road is within the regulated area. Our current mapping indicates that the
property is already developed and contains an area outside of the regulation limit on the
existing and proposed lot addition for potential future development.
Although GRCA staff do not object to the lot addition concept, we are recommending
deferral of these applications to allow the applicant to provide additional information that
may impact the lot lines associated with the lot additions. The requested information is listed
below:
• A Site Plan showing the top of stable slope and the applicable setback that was
identified in the submitted Slope Stability Assessment (prepared by Chung & Vander
Doelen Engineering Ltd., dated November 1, 2019)
We also understand that the City of Kitchener Multi -use Pathways and Trails Master Plan
(MMM Group and Ecoplans Limited, 2012) identified a proposed multi -use pathway along
the Grand River in this area. If a trail is planned in this location, we request that the trail be
included on the Site Plan noted above. The trail and associated grading should be located
outside of the identified erosion hazard and setback.
Once the additional information is submitted, GRCA staff will undertake a full review of the
application and provide further comments.
Any future development on the subject lands within the regulated area will require the prior
issuance of a GRCA permit pursuant to Ontario Regulation 150/06. The permit process
involves the submission of a permit application to this office, the review of the application by
Authority staff and the subsequent approval/refusal of the permit application by the GRCA.
3. Plan Review Fees
These consent applications will be reviewed together and will only require one plan review
fee. The applicable plan review fee is the major consent application review fee of
$1,060.00. The applicant will be invoiced in the amount of $1,060.00 by copy of this
correspondence.
We trust this information is of assistance. If you have any questions or require additional
information please contact the undersigned.
Sincerely,
Melissa Larion, MA, MCIP, RPP
Supervisor of Resource Planning
Grand River Conservation Authority

Thank you for your correspondence dated November 26, 2019.
Subsequent to review by our local engineering department, Bell Canada has identified that we require
protection for existing facilities.
On the attached sketch, the red line indicates the approximate location of active, critical infrastructure.
Located on the property 32 Forwell Road, Bell Canada's facilities provide essential access to the network.
Of major concern is the ability to access our equipment, particularly in the event of an interruption, or
emergency, that would require Bell Canada to restore service to regular telephone lines, alarm services,
internet access, and most importantly ensure the continuity of 911 service.
Bell Canada requests a 3.Om wide strip to measure 1.5m on either side of the buried facilities, as can be
reasonably accommodated. In regards to the buried plant, it may be necessary for a surveyor to arrange
for a cable locate to identify its precise location.
Since the intention of the requested easement is to protect the integrity of the existing facilities and
preserve many services, we request that the cost associated with registration be the responsibility of the
landowner.
We hope this proposal meets with your approval and request a copy of the decision. Should our request
receive approval, we look forward to the owner's solicitor contacting us with a draft reference plan and
accompanying draft easement documents for our approval prior to registration, along with an
acknowledgement and direction for our execution.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
Yours truly,
