PD 98/47 - ADDENDUM TO PD 98/17 PD 98/17 - OTTAWA STREET SOUTH EXTENDING TO BLEAMS ROAD - REVISION TO LAURENTIAN WEST COMMUNITY PLAN -ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION ZC 951101LILM - SUBDIVISION APPLICATION 30T-95015 (LAURENTIAN FOREST - STAGE 3) - ACTIVA DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION - SOUTH WARD The Committee was advised that the Department of Planning and Development was in receipt of applications for Zone Change and Subdivision together with a request for a number of minor amendments to the Laurentian West Community Plan. In this regard, the Committee was in receipt of Planning and Development Staff Report PD 98/17 dated March 10, 1998 and a proposed By- law dated March 6, 1998 attached to the report. The following explanation of the proposal is taken from the Staff Report: "The Zone Change and Draft Plan of Subdivision Applications will facilitate development of a substantial portion of the Laurentian West Community. The proposed plan of subdivision will provide for a wide range of Iow rise residential housing, with varying lot widths and housing forms, together with various community uses. In this regard, the applicant intends to subdivide and rezone a large 122.5 hectare parcel of land for between 1,282 and 1,749 single detached, semi- detached and townhouse dwellings together with a convenience commercial plaza, two elementary schools, and a district level park. The subject subdivision and zone change applications are combined with a proposed revision to the Laurentian West Community Plan which would modify the collector road network and designate a new multiple residential site relative to the collector road network. A number of related housekeeping amendments to various Community Plan policies are also being proposed so as to ensure compatibility with this revised collector road network and the proposed plan of subdivision. As the Zone Change and Draft Plan of Subdivision applications were submitted prior to March 29, 1995, the applications are being processed according to the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990. Accordingly, the provisions of Bill 20 and the Provincial Comprehensive Set of Policy Statements do not apply and the Regional Municipality of Waterloo is the governing approval authority." It was also noted in the report that the lands are presently designated Low Rise Residential and Open Space in the City's Municipal Plan. Further the subdivision design is based on a modified grid street pattern and is heavily influenced by the presence of the Laurentian and Borden Wetlands and the associated upland woodlots and hedgerows. Other issues specifically dealt within the report are: the Fischer-Hallman Road Extension from its present terminus at Activa Avenue through to Westmount Road, sanitary servicing method and capacity, exemption from emergency access policy and exemption from street naming policy. The Committee was also in receipt of Planning and Development Staff Report PD 98/47 dated March 31, 1998 prepared as an addendum to Staff Report PD 98/17. It was noted in the Report that subsequent to the preparation of PD 98/17, a number of minor revisions to the recommendations therein became necessary. The changes set out in the addendum report result from proposed realignment of a walkway block, a minor error in delineating zone change boundaries and minor errors in the referencing lots and blocks. 1. PD 98/47 - ADDENDUM TO PD 98/17 APRIL 6, 1998 PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES - 54 - CITY OF KITCHENER PD 98/17 - OTTAWA STREET SOUTH EXTENDING TO BLEAMS ROAD - REVISION TO LAURENTIAN WEST COMMUNITY PLAN -ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION ZC 951101LILM - SUBDIVISION APPLICATION 30T-95015 (LAURENTIAN FOREST - STAGE 3) - ACTIVA DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION - SOUTH WARD (CONT'D) 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. L. Masseo provided the Committee with a summary of the purpose of the applications under consideration. He briefly commented on some the history leading to recommendation this date as it relates to Fischer-Hallman Road and its extension. Mr. Masseo referred to the lands of Max Becker Enterprises and noted that the Department has requested that the subdivision application be expanded to include a portion of the Max Becker Enterprises lands which will result in an increase in the number of dwelling units being proposed for development at this time. With regard to sewage capacity, he indicated that there was sufficient capacity for all lands within the natural Borden Shed to be developed and that the system could still accommodate further capacity along with the possibility of residual capacity in future. Mr. Masseo referred to a memorandum dated April 6, 1998 from D. Gilchrist which advised of a resolution passed by Heritage Kitchener at its April 3rd meeting regarding the subdivision application. The resolution deals with a park name and certain archaeological study. He noted that staff feel that resource issues identified by Heritage Kitchener will be satisfied before Regional Draft Approval. Councillor T. Galloway advised that a concern of his was the absence of a condition that requires either the Developer, the Region or the City to construct a permanent sidewalk along Ottawa Street South. Councillor G. Lorentz entered the meeting at this point. Mr. L. Masseo advised that the City has been collecting funds for installation of sidewalks through developments and severances and will be imposing a sidewalk for the lands that abut Ottawa Street but installation could not take place at this time. Mr. D. Mansell confirmed that collections have taken place for a future sidewalk but it was unable to be built until the Region widens Ottawa Street and develops appropriate boulevards. Further discussion took place and Mr. Mansell indicated that staff could look into a temporary sidewalk installation. Councillor T. Galloway agreed as it was unacceptable in his view that residents would have to wait 5 - 10 years for the Region to deal with this issue. Councillor B. Vrbanovic entered the meeting at this point. Mayor C. Zehr commented that the situation to which Councillor Galloway referred exists in many newly developed areas of the City. Mr. Mansell commented that the sidewalk could be done if it was a priority for the Region and he did confirm that a similar situation exists along numerous Regional Roads. Mayor C. Zehr commented that when addressing planning and development issues, the Municipality should take account of the needs of both the vehicular and pedestrian traffic. He recommended the City investigate methods to provide for a temporary sidewalk along Ottawa Street. Councillor Jake Smola commented that the same requirement for sidewalks should be imposed as for sewers and it should be part of subdivision planning. Mr. Mansell agreed that it was an issue as part of the subdivision process. Councillor T. Galloway advised that he was proposing to have the matter addressed at the City's budget sessions and later introduced a motion in this regard. Councillor K. Taylor-Harrison entered the meeting at this point. Councillor T. Galloway raised the issue of street names noting that Heritage Kitchener had submitted a variety of names. In particular, he referred to the name Helena Feasby noting that she was a teacher for many years at the Williamsburg School. Mr. L. Masseo commented on the developers practices for street names and Councillor T. Galloway suggested that the name might be used in the Max Becker subdivision when it develops. PD 98/47 - ADDENDUM TO PD 98/17 PD 98/17 - OTTAWA STREET SOUTH EXTENDING TO BLEAMS ROAD - REVISION TO LAURENTIAN WEST COMMUNITY PLAN APRIL 6, 1998 PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES - 55 - CITY OF KITCHENER -ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION ZC 95/10/L/LM - SUBDIVISION APPLICATION 30T-95015 (LAURENTIAN FOREST - STAGE 3) - ACTIVA DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION - SOUTH WARD (CONT'D) Councillor T. Galloway referred to the block of lands off of Bleams Road of Mr. B. Henhoeffer which are surrounded by the applicants lands and he questioned if Mr. Henhoeffer's development interests had been considered. Mr. Masseo responded that Mr. Henhoeffer's interests have been fully addressed and that staff went to great lengths in consideration of the future development of the Henhoeffer property. Councillor J. Haalboom provided comments on the street naming practices and suggested that staff look at naming a school or a park after Helena Feasby. She also questioned the location of properties of Heritage significance along Bleams Road. Mr. Bill Henhoeffer appeared as a delegation to ensure that future development of his land was not prejudiced by the Activa applications and to express concern over the possibility that his development may be forced to accept wedge shaped lots given the configuration of the Activa development. Further he stated that he would be happy to have a street name in his property named after Helena Feasby. Ms. C. Ladd and Mr. L. Masseo offered comments on the road design leading from the Activa lands to the Hehoeffer lands noting that there was a significant woodlot and that Activa had made every effort to design the road to avoid the woodlot. Councillor T. Galloway commented that a potential new collector road accessing Bleams Road would be ideal for the Henhoeffer property and the street name of Helena Feasby could be designated for that collector road. Mr. Herb Fangrad appeared as a delegation on behalf of Central Baptist Church which owns lands adjacent to the Activa property. A letter dated April 1, 1998 from the Church indicates that they generally support the development and that their only concern was that their lands have access to sanitary sewer capacity so as not to hinder or restrict the development of a Church and dwelling unit on their lands. He confirmed that they have no development plans as yet. Mr. L. Masseo stated that it was the intent to ensure every landowner in the natural shed was able to be serviced with sanitary sewers. He commented that the Church lands were presently designated Open Space and that development of those lands was subject to approval of appropriate environmental studies which would affect the way the lands were developed. He noted that the Church proposal would require applications for official plan amendment and zone change but provisions have been made for future development of the lands. Mr. Richard Hardie appeared as a delegation on behalf of Max Becker Enterprises which owns property adjacent to the Activa lands. He advised that he understood Stage 5 of the Subdivision would now include extension of Max Becker Drive which would allow access to his clients lands and that Mr. P. Britton would address this staging issue. Mr. Paul Britton, McNaughton, Hermsen, Britton, Clarkson Planning Ltd. appeared as a delegation on behalf of Activa Development Corporation. He advised that he had a prepared presentation but first wished to respond to some of the issues that had been raised during preceding committee discussion. With respect to the sidewalk issue he advised that his clients have agreed to the sidewalk requirements and funding of same and did a detailed analysis of sidewalk and trail networks serving the subdivision. On the issues of concern to Heritage Kitchener he confirmed that archaeological investigations have been concluded. In reference to the concerns of Mr. Henhoeffer he advised that sewer strategy would ensure servicing of Mr. Henhoeffer's lands and that four access connections were planned. Also he pointed out that the design of the road network was predicated on preserving an important woodlot. He then made brief comments on street names and the sewer outlet available at Ottawa Street and David Bergey Drive. Mr. Britton then referred to the comment of Mr. R. Hardie regarding staging and advised that his client has agreed to reduce the limits of Stage 8 and increase the limits of Stage 5 of the subdivision. He distributed a sketch outlining the stagiing revision and noted that Stage 5 now includes the remainder of Max Becker Drive to the limit of the Activa lands. PD 98/47 - ADDENDUM TO PD 98/17 PD 98/17 - OTTAWA STREET SOUTH EXTENDING TO BLEAMS ROAD - REVISION TO LAURENTIAN WEST COMMUNITY PLAN -ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION ZC 951101LILM - SUBDIVISION APPLICATION 30T-95015 (LAURENTIAN FOREST - STAGE 3) APRIL 6, 1998 PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES - 56 - CITY OF KITCHENER - ACTIVA DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION - SOUTH WARD (CONT'D) Mr. Britton then made comments regarding planning for the subdivision wherein he described aspects of the subdivision and noted that 27% of the land would be protected. He pointed out that the issues to be addressed in planning the subdivision were extremly complex and impacted by competing interests. He stated that the matter of Fischer-Hallman Road was the only remaining issue. He advised that his client was concerned with Condition 53 for several reasons and that he viewed the Fischer-Hallman Road Extension requirement as somewhat discriminatory as this was the only subdivision to which the Fischer-Hallman Road issue has been attached. He indicated that his clients would like to work with Council regarding the matter and advised that they would request that Condition 53 be deleted if Fischer-Hallman Road Extension was in the 1999 budget. Mr. Britton advised: that Activa Avenue does not continue on beyond Max Becket Drive as at the point beyond it is no longer a collector road, that meetings have been held with staff to address design issues in the subdivision and that there would be a mix of density on a number of streets within the subdivision. He also noted that it was his client's intent to have a community awareness and education brochure available to prospective purchasers to make them aware of the significance of the Open Space lands in Laurentian West. Mayor C. Zehr referred to a letter distributed this date from Max Becker Enterprises Limited providing a "Letter of Undertaking" dated March 24, 1998 to dedicate required lands in connection with the Fischer-Hallman Road Extension. Mr. P. Britton commented on the letter. Councillor J. Haalboom expressed concern regarding the forest and wetland areas and questioned how well the City had protected these from development. Mr. L. Masseo advised that the majority of environmentally significant Open Space areas had been conveyed and that the subdivision as designed would preserve the vast majority of environmental resources. The issue of sidewalks was raised and Mr. L. Masseo provided clarification of the City's policy requirements for sidewalk installations. Councillor Jake Smola expressed concern respecting sidewalk exemptions particularly where it takes place on both sides of the street. Councillor M. Yantzi requested that the Committee add the review of sidewalk policy as a future agenda item. Mr. T. McCabe advised that Council has set a sidewalk policy applicable to a minimum number of units and noted that a report had been done in this regard. Mr. D. Snow advised that under the policy the developers are not required to provide sidewalks and that they should not be considered as exemptions. In summary, Councillor T. Galloway stated that he was in support of the recommendations in PD 98/17 and the amendments requested in PD 98/47 and the staging and allowable units that could be developed. He stated that in his view Clause #53 was essential for the time being but he was willing to re-visit the issue in future depending on action by the Region of Waterloo. Councillor J. Haalboom stated that she was opposed to approval of the subdivision based on concerns regarding design, streetscape and facades. The recommendations in Staff Report PD 98/17 were then considered and it was agreed to amend the recommendations to reflect the revisions set out in PD 98/47 and to amend the boundary between Stage 5 and 8 as requested this date. The recommendations, as revised, were then considered. On motion by Councillor T. Galloway - it was resolved: "A.

Mr. Albrecht pointed APRIL 6, 1998 PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES - 71 - CITY OF KITCHENER = = out that the properties do not have adequate underground servicing and that until sufficient services were available from either Kitchener or Waterloo the property could not be developed as ultimately planned. Ms. C. Ladd commented on the Official Plan Special Policy Provision allowing the temporary parking lot and pointed out that the temporary use provision is legislated for three terms with no provision governing the number of extensions that can be granted. Mr. D. Mansell referred to the underground servicing issue and noted that upgrade was in the Capital Budget Review for 1999 and beyond. On motion by Councillor John Smola - it was resolved: "1) That subject to the conditions set out in 2 (1) and (2) below, City Council approve Municipal Plan Amendment Application MP 96/11/P/ZJ (John & Mary Albrecht - 595 & 599 Park Street), being an amendment to: a) add Special Policy 16 to Section 13.7.4 (K-W Hospital Neighbourhood Secondary Plan) as follows: 16.

For the record this Staff Report was previously numbered as PD 97/114 when it was considered at the March 23, 1998 Planning and Economic Development Committee meeting and deferred and referred to the meeting this date. The report number previously allocated by the Department of Planning and Development was incorrect and has been changed from PD 97/114 to PD 98/24 dated February 24, 1998. It was noted in the report it is proposed to re-zone the property to allow for future development opportunities in accordance with proposed development for surrounding lands and that no specific development is proposed at this time. The official public meeting was held at the Committees March 23, 1998 meeting and no delegations were registered to speak at that meeting. Ms. C. Ladd advised that the Zone Change application was considered and deferred at the Committee's March 23rd meeting. At that time staff were instructed to meet with the applicant to discuss the issue of access that has been identified in respect to the adjoining Vos property and this property. She advised that staff met with the applicant and his consultant and noted that they were generally in favour of an access provision but had requested further time to consider the matter. Ms. Ladd advised that Staff Report PD 98/49 prepared as an addendum to PD 98/24 had been distributed this date and summarized discussions with regard to the establishment of a mutual right of way access. Based on the outcome of discussions staff recommend deferral to the April 27th meeting to allow the applicant a further opportunity to consider this matter. Mr. Richard Hardie, Planning Consultant appeared as a delegation representing the applicant and advised that his client would like the Committee to consider the zone change recommendation as outlined in PD 98/24. He noted that staff wish to add a condition to the Zone Change requiring an 8 metre easement on his property in favour of the adjoining property and do likewise for the adjoining property in favour of his client. Mr. Hardie stated that since there were no objections to the Zone Change originally and since in his opinion there were future opportunities to resolve the access issue, he was requesting the Committee to proceed with its consideration of the Zone Change. In respect to the access Right of Way he PD 98/49 - ADDENDUM TO PD 98~24 PD 98~24 - 49 DOON VALLEY DRIVE -ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION ZC 971161DIZJ - 1090596 ONTARIO INC. - DOON - PIONEER WARD (CONT'D) commented that an 8 metre easement from his client's small parcel of land was a significantissue and would result in the Right of Way being only 3.3 metres away from an existing house. Ms. C. Ladd advised that staff were attempting to protect the 16 metre Right of Way to allow for every development eventuality but she was aware that the Right of Way could be less than 16 metres. Councillor T. Galloway noted that utilization of the original Right of Way would allow Mr. Hardie's client additional development possibilities. Ms. C. Ladd commented that the original proposal for a 9 metre easement totally within the Vos property would impact the designated Heritage Home at 39 Doon Valley Drive whereas with the mutual Right of Way access impact would be significantly reduced. She noted that deferral would allow the Committee of Adjustment to deal with the application for the Vos lands prior to this matter being dealt with by the Planning and Economic Development Committee on April 27th. On motion by Mayor C. Zehr - it was resolved: "That Zone Change Application ZC 97/16/D/ZJ (1090596 Ontario Inc.) be deferred and referred to the Planning and Economic Development Committee meeting of April 27, 1998 for further consideration." PD 98/37 - HURON COMMUNITY - MIDDLE STRASBURG CREEK COMPREHENSIVE ElS - DELINEATION OF DEVELOPABLE / NON-DEVELOPABLE LIMITS - SOUTH WARD APRIL 6, 1998 PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES - 73 - CITY OF KITCHENER The Committee was in receipt of Planning and Development Staff Report PD 98/37 dated March 24, 1998 and an "Executive Summary" of the Middle Strasburg Creek Environmental Impact Statement and mapping of the subject area illustrating developable and non-developable limits along with other environmental attributes within the study area. It was noted in the report that the Middle Strasburg Creek Comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement (ELS) was undertaken by the Department of Planning and Development to determine the boundary between developable and non-developable lands on the west side of Strasburg Creek, between Huron Road and Westmount Road. This study was necessary to permit the rezoning of the lands within the Huron Community from Business Park to Open Space and Residential in accordance with the City's Municipal Plan and the Huron Community Plan. The Huron Community area is generally bounded by Bleams Road, Westmount Road, Huron Road and Strasburg Road and includes the Middle Strasburg Creek corridor and its associated natural areas. The entire Huron Community area was designated and blanket zoned for business park purposes in the early 1980's in response to a strong and growing demand for industrial lands. The majority of lands located on the east side of the Middle Strasburg Creek have been subdivided and serviced by the City as the Huron Business Park. However, the lands located on the west side of Strasburg Creek have not developed for business park purposes for many reasons. The staff report outlines further planning history of the area and notes that revised land use designations were included in the City's Municipal Plan in 1994 and as a result of the change from Business Park to Open Space for much of the creek corridor, the Municipal Plan was appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board by a number of land owners. The comprehensive ElS is extremely valuable in determining the extent of land which would be deemed undevelopable regardless of the earlier Business Park zoning. PD 98/37 - HURON COMMUNITY - MIDDLE STRASBURG CREEK COMPREHENSIVE ElS - DELINEATION OF DEVELOPABLE / NON-DEVELOPABLE LIMITS - SOUTH WARD (CONT'D) Mr. B. Stanley provided an explanation of the reports under consideration and noted that the Executive Summary provided was just one component of a much larger study. He clarified that all technical concerns of landowners have been addressed in the reports. Mr. Richard Hardie, Planning Consulktant, appeard as a delegation on behalf of Activa Development Corporation and advised that his client was in support of the staff recommendation. Councillor T. Galloway raised a question with regard to the designated special policy areas and asked if further study indicated development of the special policy areas could not proceed if there would be any compensation. Mr. L. Masseo advised that the entire compensation issue would be addressed by the Ontario Municipal Board before that point of time. He noted that the report sets developable limits and that the line as established will set the form of compensation. He stated that once the compensation issue was settled that further study may indicate that additional development could be allowed. The Committee was advised that the Environmental Committee at its meeting held April 1, 1998 passed a resolution recommending to the Planning and Economic Development Committee that it endorse the recommendation contained in Staff Report PD 98/37. On motion by Councillor Jake Smola - it was resolved: "That the Middle Strasburg Creek Comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement, (December, 1997) be adopted by City Council for use in delineating the developable/non- developable limit of lands on the west side of Strasburg Creek, between Huron Road and Westmount Road." APRIL 6, 1998 PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES - 74 - CITY OF KITCHENER PD 98/48 - PROCESS AND KEY OBJECTIVES TOWARDS AN ENHANCED FOCUS AND NEW ORGANIZATIONAL PLAN FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF KITCHENER The Committee was in receipt of Planning and Development Staff Report PD 98/48 dated April 2, 1998 which has been prepared in response to previous discussions by Council giving support in principle for the reorganization of the Economic Development Division under the Department of Planning and Development subject to review of an implementation plan. The report is intended as the first in a series of three reports to conclude a recommendation for implementation. The purpose of Staff Report PD 98/48 is to set out a process and key objectives for developing a strategic plan, defining the roles, functional areas and major initiatives for Economic Development which will then lead to understanding the organizational and resource needs for implementation decisions. Mr. T. McCabe briefly summarized the purpose of the report and noted that renaming of the Department of Planning and Development was a suggestion only at this point in time. He indicated that the report sets out a process to complete review of issues by June 22, 1998 and recommends appointment of Jane Janzi as acting Director of Economic and Development for an interim period. He stated that through the process the Committee would be provided with a SWOT Analysis, Goals, a 2 year set of Strategic Initiatives and a Re-organization Plan for the Department. Mayor C. Zehr commented that the recommendation ties a number of initiatives together and allows for broad input especially from the outside which is considered vital to the solution to some of the issues that the report is intended to address. Councillor J. Ziegler commented that he had concerns with the recommendations in the staff report and asked why if everything is on hold that appointment of an Interim Director would be made. He suggested that the staff in the Economic and Development Division be requested to PD 98/48 - PROCESS AND KEY OBJECTIVES TOWARDS AN ENHANCED FOCUS AND NEW ORGANIZATIONAL PLAN FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF KITCHENER (CONT'D) continue with their responsibilities for the interim period. He also expressed strong concerns with the wording of some of the items listed under key objectives in the staff report on the basis that the direction being suggested could constrict Council's future actions. Responses were made by Mayor C. Zehr and Mr. J. Gazzola regarding the necessity to have someone placed in charge of the Economic Development Division and take a leadership role in that regard during the interim period. Councillor B. Vrbanovic requested clarification as to whether or not the recommendations in the report really mean it was a foregone conclusion that the Economic Development Division would be placed under the administration of the Planning and Economic Development Department. Mayor C. Zehr stated that it was his view the report represented a process for determination to be made as to how the Economic Development Division should be structured in future. Councillor Vrbanovic stated that if the process was as Mayor Zehr had suggested it was inappropriate to make a decision at this time to shift the reporting relationship of the Economic Development Division from the CAO's office to the Planning and Development Department. Councillor J. Ziegler commented that in his view the recommendations in the report were worded too strongly and did not leave any room for consideration of alternate approaches with respect to the issues therein. He suggested that the way the recommendations were structured they would be directing Council to a conclusion that does what has been proposed in the report. He expressed strong concern that the recommendations do not provide for analysis of opposite scenarios. Mayor C. Zehr commented that he saw the process as holding out what the City thinks could be the case but also allowing that if after the consultation process it was found other views were appropriate then such views would receive consideration. Further discussion took place and Mayor C. Zehr suggested possible wording as a preamble to the recommendation contained in the staff report that would clarify the intent of the process. Mr. J. Gazzola commented that the issue being addressed was a general consensus on the part of Council that there would be some form of Economic Development function within the City and that the purpose of the report was to undertake discussion with a lot of stakeholders as to what direction they think the City should be taking. He noted that after conclusion of consultation with APRIL 6, 1998 PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES - 75 - CITY OF KITCHENER = = stakeholders Council would have another chance to address the direction it wishes to go on the entire matter. Following further consideration, Mayor C. Zehr indicated that he would propose a preamble to the recommendations in the staff report and it was agreed that recommendation 5 would be revised to appoint Jane Janzi as acting Manager of Economic Development in the interim and continue to report to the Chief Administrative Officer. On motion by Councillor Mayor C. Zehr - it was resolved: "That the following recommendations be taken as a model for restructuring the Planning and Economic Development functions; and further, That all these matters are open for full consultation before a firm decision is made: (1) That the General Manager of Planning and Development proceed with the process outlined in Section "D" of Staff Report PD 98/48 toward developing a two year Strategic Plan for Economic Development integrated with a reorganization plan for the new "Department of Planning Services and Economic Development". (2) That prior to finalizing any reorganization plan, both the draft Strategic Plan and the detailed objectives for reorganization be presented to Planning and Economic Development Committee at its June 8, 1998 meeting for discussion, direction and referral to key stakeholders for feedback. PD 98/48 - PROCESS AND KEY OBJECTIVES TOWARDS AN ENHANCED FOCUS AND NEW ORGANIZATIONAL PLAN FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF KITCHENER (CONT'D) (3) That the Strategic Plan and Reorganization Plan ensure that the key objectives listed in Section "E" of Staff Report PD 98/48 be achieved. (4) That the recommended Final Strategic Plan and Reorganization Plan be presented to Planning and Economic Development Committee at its June 22, 1998 meeting for endorsement. (5) That during the interim period between the retirement of the present Director of Economic Development on April 30, 1998 and the implementation of the new Reorganization Plan, Jane Jantzi be appointed Acting Manager of Economic Development, reporting to the Chief Administrative Officer."
