It was pointed out that notice that the Committee would hold a public meeting this date to consider
these matters had previously been given.
In the newspaper advertisement advertising this public meeting, it was stated that a number of
general policies in the City's new Municipal Plan have been referred to the Ontario Municipal
Board. In an effort to address some of the issues, several changes to these policies are being
proposed and some of these changes may affect all lands in the City of Kitchener. A number of
applications have been received to allow for new residential development in the Pioneer Tower
West community including two Municipal Plan Amendment Applications, two Zone Change
Applications and four proposed Plans of Subdivision together with Zone Change Applications.
The purpose of these applications is described in Planning and Development Staff Reports PD
96/94 and PD 96/117.
Councillor C. Weylie, Chair, read the following statement to those in attendance:
"This is a Public Meeting under 'The Planning Act, 1996' to consider Municipal Plan
Amendment Application 95111PIJG (Pioneer Tower West) and Municipal Plan
Amendment Application 95151PIJG (Grand River Conservation Authority).
Section 17 (45) of the Planning Act allows the Ontario Municipal Board to dismiss all or part
of an appeal without holding a hearing if the appellant did not make oral submissions at a
public meeting or did not make written submissions to the council before the plan was
adopted and, in the opinion of the Board, the appellant does not

provide a reasonable explanation for having failed to make a submission.
In order to ensure the record includes all the names of those individuals who are making
verbal submissions today for these two Municipal Plan Amendments, please ensure that
you clearly identify yourself before you begin your submissions and the Clerk will record
your name for the record. If your name does not appear on the record, you may jeopardize
any further involvement you wish to have in these matters.
Any recommendation made by Planning Committee on these matters today will be
considered by City Council on December 2, 1996. If City Council adopts the amendments,
they will proceed to the Regional Municipality of Waterloo who has the final approval
authority for Municipal Plan Amendments. They are also the body to whom appeals are
sent.
Further information on these procedures is available from the City's Department of Planning
and Development or the Region's Department of Planning and Culture".
Mr. T. McCabe commented that the applications before the Committee this date represented four
years of work on the part of City staff who worked with many stakeholders with an interest in these
matters whom he itemized. He expressed appreciation for the work of all interested parties
respecting these applications including the executives of the two neighbourhood associations
involved and all of their residents for their professional approach to many issues, to the
consultants for their work and in particular to Ms. J. Given and Ms. C. Ladd for their contribution.
Councillor T. Galloway also thanked all of the participants in the planning process. He noted that
he regretted the need to develop this historic area but that previous planning decisions had set a
development process in motion. In this regard he reminded everyone in attendance that the
Pioneer Tower West lands have been designated Low Rise Residential in the Official Plan at six
units per hectare as a result of planning decisions some years ago which increased that
designation from two units per hectare. He pointed out that the density factor of ten units per
hectare has now been agreed to as a result of compromises by the community and the new
density figure represents a 400% increase over earlier development levels. Councillor Galloway
stressed that the matters before the Committee were complex issues that were being considered
within individual applications but noted that they should be considered as part of a larger
development package wherein they are required to fit together to create the best overall
development possible.
Ms. J. Given provided the Committee with a comprehensive presentation involving an overview of
the new community, review of municipal plan policies, zoning in the existing community,
community design, individual plans of subdivision and a review of the implications of the
addendum staff report PD 96/117 and content therein. She commented that the report and the
addendum report under consideration represent departmental recommendations resulting from an
extensive and comprehensive planning exercise which will substantially complete the planning for
the Pioneer Tower West area at all levels. Detailed municipal plan policies in the two official plan
amendments will guide development through the built and new parts of the community and the
zoning by-laws and conditions related to four plans of subdivision will implement the planning
objectives. She commented that all those involved have worked to protect the character of the
community and that in designing the new community, social, historic and natural fabric had
influenced the policies and ultimate community design. She noted that the following key
community attributes were important in the planning of the area: the two existing communities -
Pinegrove and Grandhill Village, geography, recreational resources, ESPA #34 (Grandview
Woods), Pioneer Tower Road (originally Huron Road) and the historic ridge which includes the
Pioneer Memorial Tower. She commented on the main effects of the Municipal Plan Amendment
95/1 which relate to land use designations as shown on Map #5, Schedule "A" and Special
Policies with some of the key policy areas being residential development, open space/recreational,
heritage and noise. In particular she referred to the planned development which provides for
some latitude to new zone changes without need for municipal plan change. Ms. Given then
summarized the effects of the individual plans of

PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES
NOVEMBER 25, 1996 - 165 - CITY OF KITCHENER
- MUNICIPAL PLAN AMENDMENT, ZONE CHANGE & PLAN OF SUBDIVISION (CONT'D)
subdivision and the total number of dwelling units proposed to be developed within each as
follows:
- Krizsanderson Developments - 275 units
- Maple Manor - 20 units
- J.H.S. Properties - 569 units
- 346874 Ontario Limited - 56 units
Ms. Given then reviewed the addendum report PD 96/117 and commented on only key functions
the report served. Firstly, it provides for the addition of a maximum number of units in the zoning
by-law and includes revised by-laws for all zone change applications. Secondly, a small triangle of
land on the Sportsman Club property would remain open space because of the need for an
environmental audit. Thirdly, revisions have been made to subdivision conditions in respect to
well monitoring that restrict the issue to shallow wells. Fourthly, a new condition has been added
regarding cost sharing of all expenses on a fair unit allocation basis among all developers. Fifthly,
a resolution has been included in respect to the development charge by-laws which provides that
the developers ask the City to amend the by-law as soon as the City can do so legally. And finally,
in the Krizsanderson Developments, at the request of the community, a condition is added
regarding a walkway.
Ms. Given requested that the Committee give careful consideration to the wording in respect to the
Official Plan Amendments and asked that the Committee request Council to pass all of the zoning
by-laws at its meeting of December 2, 1996. Ms. Given then verbally requested a number of
changes to recommendations contained in Staff Reports PD 94/96 and 96/117 which she itemized
and were contained on page 6 of her presentation notes to the Committee this date. Related to a
mapping change to Map #17 which revises the Maple Manor property with a map dated November
25th showing lot dimensions, she distributed a copy of same.
Councillor T. Galloway pointed out that recommendation #9 in report PD 96/117 should refer to 31
dwelling units rather than 35 dwelling units and staff concurred.
Before hearing the delegations who have registered this date, Mr. T. McCabe summarized issues
with respect to lands of the Grand River Conservation Authority and their uses. He noted that
retention of public open space was absolutely important and that the GRCA had cooperated in
respect in exchange of lands in order to preserve four lots on the Vista Ridge.
Mr. Eric Hodgins, Manager, Water Resources Protection, Engineering Department Regional
Municipality of Waterloo, appeared as a delegation to comment on implications of subdivision
conditions relating to well monitoring. He noted that there was a potential for the developments to
impact shallow wells as a result of infrastructure servicing but that the impact should be of short
duration and that accordingly, one year sufficient to determine any impact. He stated that there
was little possibility of impact on deeper wells given water was taken from a deep aquifer system
and a thick layer of clay would protect the system from construction activities. Further, he pointed
out that the two areas of concern were currently on private water systems and received their water
from areas to the east which are up elevation from the development taking place.
Councillor T. Galloway noted that the changes to the subdivision conditions relating to well
monitoring had been proposed at a very late date in the process and this has raised concern. He
commented that during the construction of the weir for the Mannheim Recharge System, area
wells went dry and stated that there was concern there may be some cause/affect relationships
that are not known until construction has taken place. He requested comment on this issue. Mr.
Hodgins replied that the problem referred to made sense in relation to the weir project but would
not relate to the proposed subdivision developments. Councillor Galloway questioned if there
could be an impact during construction of the forcemain and Mr. Hodgins advised that there could
be some short term impact but that there were very few wells in that location. Following further
discussion, it was determined that only two wells might be affected by the forcemain.

PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES
NOVEMBER 25, 1996 - 166 - CITY OF KITCHENER
Ms. Susan Burke appeared as a delegation on behalf of the Kitchener Local Architectural
Conservation Advisory Committee to remind the Committee of the value in preserving heritage
resources within the area. Slides of such resources were presented illustrating historical,
architectural and archaeological issues. She commented on the fact that the area was the cradle
of the beginning of Waterloo Region and in recognition, the Pioneer Tower had been erected in
1925. Ms. Burke emphasized the need to protect access to heritage resources and pointed out
that there was a great deal to be preserved including vistas, viewscapes, houses and barns. She
noted that the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee has had a long interest in this
community and has planned to create a heritage district which would preserve all the lands along
the ridge, retain as much vegetation as possible and preserve existing buildings and vistas. She
noted that the City has taken a lead role in this by supporting acquisition of Block 57. She
encouraged acquisition of lots 55 & 56 adjacent to the Pioneer Tower and lots 2 & 3 between the
Calder property and the Pincott property and stated that she believed a model community could be
created.
Ms. Jean Haalboom, Chair, Regional Heritage Planning Advisory Committee, appeared as a
delegation to comment on preservation issues involving the houses and barns as identified and
vistas from the ridge lands. She also commented on the Pioneer Tower Road and its historic
importance noting that it was proposed to identify it as a scenic road. She stated that she hoped
the portion of the road to be closed to traffic could be utilized for special historical events such as
in instances where a stage coach might travel the closed portion of the original road.
Councillor T. Galloway pointed out that no final decision has been made in respect to the barn on
the Calder property and he noted that there was time to work on the possibility of retaining and
preserving it.
Mr. Vern Martin appeared as a delegation on behalf of the two neighbourhood associations. He
asked that the Committee take note of an update report dated November 22, 1996 which was
prepared by the Executive Committees of the Grandhill Village Association and the Pinegrove
Community Association and distributed this date. Mr. Martin commented that there were unique
complications affecting development in the area in respect to: geographic configuration, traffic
flow, two noise issues, the Kitchener sewage treatment plant, heritage sites, ESPA, location of
existing neighbourhoods and many other issues. He asked that the Committee give thoughtful
and thorough consideration of the development applications as they relate to the issues he listed.
On this issue of well monitoring, he advised that the Executive Committee was concerned with the
rewording that has taken place as it relates to shallow wells and following further comment in this
regard, he requested that the subdivision conditions regarding well monitoring in PD 96/94 not be
changed.
Ms. Beth Weckman appeared as a delegation on behalf of the joint Neighbourhood Executive
Committee to comment on traffic issues. She advised that the results of their assessment were
that existing intersections could not accommodate the subdivisions and significant intersection
improvements were required on the basis that the area has no other options for remedial
correction. In this regard, she listed the improvements that the residents request involving Deer
Ridge Drive, Grand Hill Drive and Highway #8. She noted that Baxter Place was currently
unworkable and significant improvement was also required and also suggested that pedestrian
traffic has been overlooked in the planning process.
Ms. Daphne Nicholls appeared as a delegation in place of Mr. Rinze Vanderwerff for the joint
Neighbourhood Association Executive to speak on issues relating to heritage concerns. Ms.
Nicholls spoke on concerns relative to various issues including: a heritage conservation district,
support for acquisition of Block 57, preservation of lots 2, 3, 55 & 56, right of first refusal being
given to the City relative to purchase of lot 1, community trails, the question of sidewalks, open
space use with a request that parks be developed at an early stage of the subdivision
development and environmental concerns.
Mr. Gord Nicholls appeared as a delegation on behalf of the joint Neighbourhood Association
Executive to deal with the applications for zone change and subdivision of Krizsanderson
Developments Limited. He advised that he wished to deal with the matter of density and the

- MUNICIPAL PLAN AMENDMENT, ZONE CHANGE & PLAN OF SUBDIVISION (CONT'D)
PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES
NOVEMBER 25, 1996 - 167 - CITY OF KITCHENER
question of transition as proposed in the subdivision relating to lands adjacent to the existing
developed community. He referred to the compromises that previous owners negotiated with
regard to permitting development on the basis of six units per hectare and the acceptance of
inevitable changes and compromise that residents have made in agreeing to a density of ten units
per hectare in Pioneer Tower West. He advised that all developers have agreed to cap the
number of units within the density limit with the exception of Krizsanderson Developments Limited.
He noted that based on compromise that residents have already agreed to, they could not accept
the density proposed in the Krizsanderson subdivision which was 10.8 units per hectare. He then
commented on the zoning and lotting pattern proposed in the Krizsanderson subdivision and on
the design of Deer Ridge Drive which has an "S" curve that the residents feel could be a safety
hazard. Mr. Nicholls then referred to noise concerns relating to the volume of vehicles utilizing
Highway #8 and suggested that berming be required to address this problem. Following other
comments, Mr. Nicholls advised that the residents request the Krizsanderson Development be
capped at 250 units.
Mr. Bill Thomson appeared as a delegation on behalf of the joint Neighbourhood Executive and
proceeded to highlight recommendations of the Executive commencing on page 8 of their
submission this date.
Councillor T. Galloway stated that he did not understand the concern in regard to the first right of
refusal to purchase lot 1 and Mr. Thomson replied that the concern of the residents was that the
property remain in the public domain.
Judge J.R.H. Kirkpatrick appeared as a delegation and advised that he had lived on his property
since 1949 and noted that the Krizsanderson subdivision would abut 4 sides of his land holding.
He read a lengthy presentation respecting the matters under consideration and expressed
concerns that: fencing be erected to protect the Grandview Woods, development of the lands was
not required given that the City's lot supply inventory was excessively high, that the GRCA should
develop its land in accordance with its mandate, that vistas and heritage Pionner Tower Road be
protected, the 80% / 20% traffic allocation for access purposes was unfair and that problems
would result in respect to drainage as water will be diverted from the Kirkpatrick lands.
Mr. James Richard appeared as a delegation on behalf of the Pioneer Sportsman Club in support
of the contents in his letter dated November 22, 1996 distributed to the Committee this date. He
commented on the history of the Club and matters involving compatibility of uses, distance
separation and noise studies. He suggested that it was appropriate to require noise warning
clauses in the adjacent subdivisions to make purchasers aware of noise generating uses nearby.
He referred to the Maple Manor subdivision and the land use designation attached to his clients
land and suggested that road access should be required over adjoining subdivisions to his clients
land. He expressed concerns with regard to definition of firearms and suggested that archery
tackle be excluded. In summary, Mr. Richard's asked that sections of his clients land be
designated as Low Rise Residential with conditions attached if necessary and noted that
perceptions as to incompatible use could be resolved. Further, he requested that modifications be
made to the Maple Manor Limited subdivision plan to accommodate development of his clients
lands. Finally, he commented that noise from the use of his clients land has existed since the
1940's and it appeared staff have a strong desire to end the use.
Mr. Paul Britton, MacNaughton Hermsen Britton Clarkson Planning Limited, appeared as a
delegation on behalf of the GRCA, in respect to the Authority's MP 96/5/P/JG and ZC 96/20/P/JG.
He distributed a submission dated November 1996 in regard to these matters. He commented on
the 3 parcels of land involving the GRCA. Mr. Britton advised that the GRCA supports the staff
recommendation in PD 96/117 respecting zoning of the GRCA lands providing clarification was
forthcoming in regard to the Holding Provision and acquisition of 4 lots. He further suggested that
Clause #10 of the proposed zoning by-law might be reconsidered so as to allow the By-law to
come into effect in an alternate way rather than only upon approval of the Municipal Plan
Amendment.

Authority, appeared as a delegation in support of the applications submitted by the Authority. He
commented that the applications demonstrate a commitment to protect the corridor.
Mr. T. McCabe summarized the requests of the residents in respect to these applications and
advised it was his opinion that from a technical point of view staff were correct. He also
commented on the suggested Holding Provision.
On motion by Councillor T. Galloway, staff recommendations as revised (shown in bold type face)
this date respecting Zone Change Application 96/20/P/JG (GRCA) were accepted and it was
agreed that a final resolution would not be advanced until the Committee had considered all other
planning applications this date.
Mr. Paul Puopolo, Planning Initiatives Limited, appeared as a delegation on behalf of 346874
Ontario Limited in respect to MP 95/1/P/JG and the company's Zone Change Application
96/26/L/JG and Subdivision Application 30T-95016. He advised that Vista Ridge was operating as
a numbered company along with Mr. Brian Calder who was a major shareholder. Mr. Puopolo
provided a brief chronology of planning events in the Pioneer Tower West area and advised that
he was in general support of both staff reports. He spoke to issues relating to a land exchange,
redesignation of 4 lots and on-going negotiations with the GRCA. He did express concern
respecting subdivision conditions dealing with well monitoring and intersection design and
requested that staff re-consider Staging of Development so as to bring on the heritage component
at an earlier date. Finally, Mr. Puopolo advised that his client was willing to undertake a Heritage
Conservation District Plan in conjunction with the City of Kitchener and to participate in other
heritage structures.
In response to concerns of Councillor T. Galloway, Mr. Puopolo advised that a settlement would
be reached with the GRCA.
Staff summarized the issues raised by Mr. Puopolo and the residents. The Committee discussed
numerous issues contained within the reports and submitted this date and reached decisions on
these matters.
On motion by Councillor T. Galloway, staff recommendations, as revised (shown in bold type face)
this date respecting Zone Change Application 96/26/L/JG and Subdivision Application 30T-95016
(346874 Ontario Limited) were accepted, excepting conditions dealing with well monitoring and
traffic/intersection improvements which will be added when the Committee considers these
common matters, and it was agreed that a final resolution would not be advanced until the
Committee had considered all other planning applications this date.
Mr. Paul Britton, MacNaughton Hermsen Britton Clarkson Planning Limited, appeared as a
delegation on behalf of JHS Developments Ltd., in respect to MP 95/1/P/JG and the company's
Zone Change Application 94/17/P/JG and Subdivision Application 30T-94009. He advised that his
client owns 69 hectares, which comprises approximately 60% of the net residential land area in
Pioneer Tower West and that his client had reached a settlement with the neighbourhood
associations on matters of design and density respecting JHS lands. He then commented on a
number of issues including: the comments in the presentation of Mr. Kirkpatrick, heritage, traffic
routing and intersections, wording of cost sharing conditions, staging of development and well-
monitoring.
Staff summarized the issues raised by Mr. Britton and by the residents. The Committee discussed
numerous issues in relation to the reports and submissions made this date and reached decisions
on these matters. Councillor Jake Smola expressed concern regarding the lack of sidewalks on
streets in the subdivision; namely, Deer Ridge Crescent and Deer Ridge Court and staff outlined
city policy in such instances.
A motion by Councillor Jake Smola to require sidewalk on one side of Deer Ridge Crescent and
Deer Ridge Court was put to a vote and lost.

(JHS Developments Ltd.) were accepted, excepting conditions dealing with well monitoring and
traffic/intersection improvements which will be added when the Committee considers these
common matters, and it was agreed that a final resolution would not be advanced until the
Committee had considered all other planning applications this date.
Mr. Bill Green, Green Scheels Pidgeon, appeared as a delegation on behalf of Maple Manor
Limited, in respect to MP 95/1/P/JG and the company's Zone Change Application 941211PIJG and
Subdivision Application 30T-94017. He described the location of his clients lands on which 20
large size lots are proposed to blend with existing development and noted that the plan has been
accepted by the neighbourhood associations. He pointed out that the Pioneer Sportsman's Club
has requested modification to the Maple Manor plan based on a concern that the plan may inhibit
development potential of the Club's lands to the west. Mr. Green raised issues with respect to
noise and conditions relative to parkland dedication and land conveyance.
Staff summarized the issues raised by Mr. Green and by the residents. The Committee discussed
numerous issues in relation to the reports and submissions made this date and reached decisions
on these matters.
On motion by Councillor T. Galloway, staff recommendations, as revised (shown in bold type face)
this date respecting Zone Change Application 941211PIJG and Subdivision Application 30T-94017
(Maple Manor Ltd.) were accepted, excepting conditions dealing with well monitoring and
traffic/intersection improvements which will be added when the Committee considers these
common matters, and it was agreed that a final resolution would not be advanced until the
Committee had considered all other planning applications this date.
Mr. Bill Green, Green Scheels Pidgeon, appeared as a delegation on behalf of Krizsanderson
Developments Limited in respect to MP 95/1/P/JG and the company's Zone Change Application
94/16/P/JG and Subdivision Application 30T-94008. He provided a background of the principals
involved in the company and then before making his detailed remarks called on Mr. Tom Krizan to
make a presentation.
Mr. Tom Krizan, Thomasfield Homes, appeared as a delegation to request approval of the
recommendations in the planning staff reports respecting lands to be developed by Krizsanderson
Developments Limited. He noted that planning for the subdivision had been on going for some 6
years involving countless meetings. He spoke to the issue of lot size and number of lots and
noted the number of lots proposed in the planning report was quite Iow as compared to 360 lots
which would be an average yield for such lands. He stated that the reduction to 275 lots seriously
impacts the development. In response to Councillor Jake Smola, Ms. J. Given advised that the
neighbourhood associations request further lot reduction to 250. She noted that only the
Krizsanderson subdivision has a wide mix of housing lots which staff support.
Mr. B. Green pointed out that his client purchased the lands in 1988. He commented on various
issues including responsible environmental planning of the subdivision, storm water management,
and other complex aspects of the development. He advised that the Plan was modified to reflect
numerous concerns and he itemized the many changes that have been made to the plan in
response to requests of the residents. Mr. Green noted that his client accepts the
recommendation in the addendum staff report which results in a density of less than 11
units/hectare and noted it represents good planning. He advised that Krizsanderson was willing to
construct a fence on 2 sides abutting the lands of Mr. Kirkpatrick which is satisfactory to Mr.
Kirkpatrick. Mr. Green then dealt with concerns relating to noise, access roads, staging of
development, the "S" curve design of Deer Ridge Drive which addresses an environmental
concern and minimizes tree cutting.
- PD 96/94 & PD 96/117 - PIONEER TOWER WEST APPLICATIONS FOR:
- MUNICIPAL PLAN AMENDMENT, ZONE CHANGE & PLAN OF SUBDIVISION (CONT'D)
Councillor B. Vrbanovic stated that his concern was that only Krizsanderson had exceeded the 10
unit per hectare density criteria and questioned why an exception should be made. Mr. Green
responded by detailing design and layout issues in regards to the necessity to provide larger lots
adjacent to the existing developed communities which was an issue the other developers did not
have to address. He also suggested that the 10 unit/hectare density was established to apply as
PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES
NOVEMBER 25, 1996 - 170 - CITY OF KITCHENER
an average across the entire community.
Staff summarized the issues raised by Messrs. Green & Krizan and by the residents. The
Committee discussed numerous issues in relation to the reports and submissions made this date
and reached decisions on these matters. In particular, Councillor T. Galloway requested changes
in respect to conditions dealing with a modified road system.
Councillor T. Galloway referred to the remarks he made earlier as to the amount of increased
density that the area had already absorbed as a result of earlier planning processes. He
suggested that the residents have made substantial compromise on the density issue and he
suggested there needs to be movement on the part of the developer without reference to density
shifting. Councillor Galloway was of the view that Pioneer Tower West was a unique community
and must be looked at differently in respect to subdivision development. He stated that he rejects
arguments for development of 275 units, particularly in consideration of the fact that the lands
were purchased on the basis of development at the rate of 6 units per hectare. He also stated that
he did not accept the position that the provision of large size transition lots buys entitlement to
develop additional smaller lots elsewhere as compensation. Councillor Galloway noted that lot
size diversity has merit but questioned why diversity was not a requirement of the other
subdivision plans and insisted minimum 50 foot lots should be required in the Krizsanderson
subdivision. Accordingly, he proposed the development be limited to 245 units by incorporating 50
foot lots.
Councillor B. Vrbanovic questioned the proposed 245 lot figure noting that at 10 units/hectare
density, approximately 255 lots could be developed. He suggested deferral of the applications to
December 2, 1996 to review this issue. Councillor M. Yantzi favoured the development diversity
proposed by staff. Councillor M. Wagner agreed with the deferral suggestion to encourage
additional negotiation between the developer and the neighbourhood associations. Councillor T.
Galloway stated that he favours a negotiated settlement and would prefer to see movement by the
developer on the density issue. He noted that the official plan amendment represents a 66%
increase in density.
On motion by Councillor T. Galloway, staff recommendations, as revised (shown in bold type face)
this date respecting Zone Change Application 94/16/P/JG and Subdivision Application 30T-94008
(Krizsanderson Developments Limited) were accepted, excepting conditions dealing with well
monitoring and traffic/intersection improvements. However, a further motion by Councillor B.
Vrbanovic to defer and refer revised recommendations respecting Zone Change Application
94/16/P/JG and Subdivision Application 30T-94008 (Krizsanderson Developments Limited) to City
Council for consideration at its meeting of December 2, 1996 was carried subject to inclusion of
conditions dealing with well monitoring and traffic/intersection improvements when the Committee
considers these common matters as part of consideration of all other planning applications this
date.
Ms. J. Given introduced the 2 outstanding common issues, being well monitoring and
traffic/intersection improvements that the Committee had not dealt with in the 4 subdivision
applications of 346874 Ontario Limited, JHS Properties Limited, Maple Manor Limited and
Krizsanderson Developments Limited.
In regard to the issue of well monitoring, on motion the revised conditions presented for each of
the four subdivisions were accepted but deferred and referred for consideration of further
revisions to be presented by staff at City Council's December 2, 1996 meeting.
On motion by Councillor T. Galloway, revised conditions for each of the 4 subdivisions with
respect to the issue of traffic/intersection improvements were accepted and included in each
subdivision plan of 346874 Ontario Limited, JHS Properties Limited, Maple Manor Limited and
- PD 96/94 & PD 96/117 - PIONEER TOWER WEST APPLICATIONS FOR:
- MUNICIPAL PLAN AMENDMENT, ZONE CHANGE & PLAN OF SUBDIVISION (CONT'D)

i)
It is recognized that the existing residential neighbourhoods in Pioneer Tower West
are large lot developments which developed on private services. New lots created
through the consent process within the existing communities shall be compatible in
size with the existing lots.
ii)
New municipally serviced residential development within Pioneer Tower West may
take place at higher densities than that of the existing residential areas.
Notwithstanding the Low Rise Residential designation, generally, the net residential
density of all new residential development shall not exceed 10 units per net hectare
over the developing portion of the community. Residential uses will be primarily
single detached dwellings, with many new areas within the community developing
on relatively large lots, taking advantage of the character of the community and
ensuring compatibility with existing built residential areas, particularly in areas of
transition between existing and new residential development.
Multiple residential development shall be permitted adjacent to large commercial
sites, in those areas taking advantage of scenic vistas and where the preservation of
natural features can be maximized, provided such development is designed and
located to be compatible with the existing residential areas and preserve important
environmental features.
iii)
Complementary uses are restricted to those which are appropriately located and do
not generate large volumes of traffic. Convenience commercial uses shall not be
permitted. Tourist homes are permitted in existing heritage buildings, as a means of
promoting their preservation.
iv) * Policy below deferred and referred to City Council- December 2, 1996
- PD 96/94 & PD 96/117 - PIONEER TOWER WEST APPLICATIONS FOR:
- MUNICIPAL PLAN AMENDMENT, ZONE CHANGE & PLAN OF SUBDIVISION (CONT'D)
It is recognized that the design of the intersections of Deer Ridge Drive and Baxter
Place with Highway 8 will impact on the total number of new residential units which
can be developed within Pioneer Tower West. Accordingly, the total number of new
residential units in the developing portion of the community shall not exceed 1200
units. The allocation of the units to developing lands shall be done through approval
of implementing by-laws and plans of subdivision being processed and
recommended concurrently with these policies. This maximum total number of new
residential units shall be subject to the final approval by the Regional Municipality of
Waterloo of a functional design and other implementation details. Should the
PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES
NOVEMBER 25, 1996 - 174 - CITY OF KITCHENER
v)
Regional Municipality of Waterloo not be satisfied with the functioning of the
intersections, the total number of new residential units may be changed without an
amendment to this Plan provided it does not exceed 1200.
Notwithstanding the policies on density and maximum numbers of units in Pioneer
Tower West, such requirements shall not apply to the minor intensification of the
community through duplexing.
vi)
New residential plans of subdivision shall only be permitted to develop following or
in conjunction with the construction of Deer Ridge Drive to provide the primary
access into the community. New road networks shall be designed so as to minimize
the amount of additional traffic on Pioneer Tower Road east of Marquette Drive.
Intersection improvements at Deer Ridge Drive/Highway 8 and Baxter
Place/Highway 8 will be required as part of the development approvals.
vii)
In recognition of existing privately owned wells within the planning area, approval of
plans of subdivision shall contain conditions relating to the appropriate monitoring of
existing private wells, mitigation of development impacts, as well for the provision of
a water supply if wells are affected by development.
Notwithstanding the designation of Low Rise Residential on those lands located on
the south side of Edgehill Drive, the severance or development of such vacant lands
shall only be permitted upon the approval of an engineering study of the entire slope
by the City's Department of Public Works and Grand River Conservation Authority,
determining its acceptability for development.
ix)
It is acknowledged that it is the intent of the City to complete a Heritage
Conservation District Plan generally covering lands along the ridge extending
easterly from the Pioneer Memorial Tower and to the Grand River. The Heritage
Conservation District Plan will set out tools such as implementing zoning by-laws,
establishment of heritage easements and special conditions of subdivision approval
which may be utilized so that new development is sympathetic to the natural and
built heritage of Pioneer Tower West and does not compromise the integrity of the
history or of preserved resources, including the Pioneer Memorial Tower and the
"ridge" along with its natural and built features.
Open Space/Recreation
x)
It is recognized that the Grand River Corridor Conservation Plan proposes a
continuous linear, publically accessible open space along the Grand River and
specifically identifies the potential for a major tourism/recreation node in the Pioneer
Tower area. Through the development approvals, the City shall endeavour to
achieve this objective by attempting to secure and preserve such lands in public
ownership to ensure public access is developed through walk and trail links
connecting open spaces and maximizing the enjoyment of the natural features of the
community and the views of the Grand River, which has been designated as a
Heritage River.
xi)
Within the lands designated Open Space, uses shall be restricted to those which
provide outdoor passive recreation or facilitate the preservation and enjoyment of
- PD 96/94 & PD 96/117 - PIONEER TOWER WEST APPLICATIONS FOR:
- MUNICIPAL PLAN AMENDMENT, ZONE CHANGE & PLAN OF SUBDIVISION (CONT'D)
distinctive natural features. Active recreational uses such as snowmobiling,
motorized trail biking, go-carts, amusement arcades, miniature golf, water slides,
wave pools, gun clubs and amusement parks are prohibited. Open space areas
may be used for activities such as active sportsfields, tennis courts and cross
country skiing.
xii)
Public agencies owning land or having an interest in this area should be
encouraged to contribute to a comprehensive development of interpretive displays,
signs, and appropriate landscaping to create a planned recreational and historic
public resource.
PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES
NOVEMBER 25, 1996 - 175 - CITY OF KITCHENER
In recognition of existing equestrian activity in this community, and its contribution to
the character of Pioneer Tower West, public and private equestrian stables and
riding academies and accessory uses shall be permitted within Open Space areas
as well as within Low Rise Residential areas adjacent and having access to Open
Space areas. Where possible, riding academies shall be subject to site plan control
with specific consideration of the separation of equestrian operations from
residential development.
Heritaqe
xJv)
Recognize that parts of this community will be included in a Heritage Conservation
District due to the area's unique historical significance as the site of the first non-
native settlement in Waterloo County and the presence of natural and built heritage
resources.
As such, in addition to complying with other heritage policies in this Plan, new
development shall have regard for the heritage resources and be designed to avoid
or minimize any negative impact on the significant heritage resources including the
Pioneer Memorial Tower site, the built heritage along the ridge east of the tower,
and the scenic vista between the ridge and the Grand River. Open spaces shall be
provided around the Tower and adjacent development shall be designed to be
compatible with the heritage character.
The significance of Pioneer Tower Road and Lookout Lane should be recognized
and their presence maintained as they are under study for designation as Scenic-
Heritage Roads. Most of Lookout Lane shall be maintained in its present state as a
public access road to the Pioneer Memorial Tower. Parts of Pioneer Tower Road
shall be closed to vehicular traffic and converted to a public walkway/trail link, while
continuing to recognize the historic value of the original road.
xv)
In recognition of the significance of the ridge to the history of the area and to
preserve the integrity of the natural and built heritage resources, the lands between
the Pioneer Memorial Tower and the historic Betzner farmstead are designated and
zoned Open Space. The City acknowledges its intent to acquire these lands at fair
market value for public open space purposes. Further, every effort should be made
to explore alternative funding arrangements so that additional lands along the
significant ridge are acquired and held in public ownership.
Vistas
xvJ)
Recognize the value of many of the scenic vistas in this area and encourage
development which takes advantage of these vistas and is designed to blend with
the surroundings, in accordance with other policies related to vistas in this Plan.
Accordingly, plans of subdivision and site plans will be so designed as to
accomplish this objective.
- PD 96/94 & PD 96/117 - PIONEER TOWER WEST APPLICATIONS FOR:
- MUNICIPAL PLAN AMENDMENT, ZONE CHANGE & PLAN OF SUBDIVISION (CONT'D)
Noise
xvii)
Recognize that the existing recreational facility south of Pioneer Tower Road,
Pioneer Sportsman Club, which includes a gun club, may generate a significant
amount of noise and as such, appropriate measures may be required to mitigate
such noise relative to new residential development.
10.
Part 3 Section 12.7 Policies v) and vi) are renumbered xviii) and xvix) respectively,
