The Committee was advised that the Department of Business and Planning Services was in
receipt of applications for zone change, subdivision and municipal plan amendment from 673099
Ontario Limited in regard to a parcel of land located on the south side of Huron Road, west of the
Strasburg Road extension. In this regard, the Committee considered staff report BPS-00-104
dated August 30, 2000 and a proposed by-law dated August 29, 2000 attached to the report. Also
attached to the report was a Municipal Plan Amendment document entitled, "Strasburg Creek -
South Branch Tributary". Also provided to the Committee was staff report BPS-00-126 dated
September 18, 2000 prepared as an addendum to report BPS-00-104.
It was noted in the staff report that the proposed amendment to the City's Municipal Plan would re-
designate a small tributary of the Strasburg Creek from Open Space to Low Rise Residential and
delete the same area from map 2A -Natural Resources in the Municipal Plan.
The proposed zone change would facilitate the development of a plan of subdivision totalling 45.6
hectares while the proposed plan of subdivision and zone change would allow a mixture of single
detached, duplex, semi-detached, street townhouse and multiple dwellings ranging from 466-673
total dwelling units. In addition, the development provides for a potential elementary school site
and a number of open space blocks for park, open space, storm water management and a
landscape buffer adjacent to Huron Road. The existing zoning on the property is primarily
restricted Business Park Zone (B-2), reflecting the former "Business Park" official plan
designation. The proposed zoning by-law would bring the zoning into conformity with the current
official plan designations of Low Rise Residential and Open Space. As well, a mixture of dwelling
types and lot sizes will be created throughout the plan.
Councillor C. Weylie, Chair, read the following statement:
"This is a Public Meeting under 'The Planning Act, 1996' to consider Municipal Plan
Amendment Application O0/06/S/JG
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 this Municipal Plan Amendment, 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 October 2, 2000. If City Council adopts the amendments,
they will proceed to the Regional Municipality of Waterloo who has the final approval

sent.
Further information on these procedures is available from the City's Department of
Business and Planning Services or the Region's Department of Planning and Culture."
Ms. J. Given provided a detailed explanation of the purpose of the applications and referenced the
size of the land parcel, the potential number and range of dwelling units. She drew particular
attention to the implementing zoning by-law that ensures a range and size of units within the
development. Ms. Given pointed out two significant natural features within the subject area, noting
that a portion lies within the Strasburg Wetland Complex and a south portion affects a cold water
tributary. She made further remarks on environmental issues and heritage issues that were
outlined in the staff report. Ms. Given then commented that the proposed official plan amendment
was minor in nature as its purpose was to make minor revisions to the Municipal Plan Map so as to
delete a small tributary of the Strasburg Creek from being affected by the flood lines.
Councillor G. Lorentz entered the meeting at this point.
Ms. Given then explained the purpose of staff report BPS-00-126 and the recommendations
contained there-in. It was noted in the report that the resolution of Deferral 2b to the City's
Municipal Plan Map 4, Transportation is integral to the final approval of draft plan of Subdivision
30T-98201 being recommended through report BPS-00-104. Staff report BPS-00-126 addresses
additional conditions and steps necessary to bring about resolution of the Deferral. She noted that
Regional staff were in agreement with the staff recommendation. Ms. Given responded to
questions from the Committee explaining how the Deferral came about and illustrating and
commenting on open space and park areas.
Councillor B. Vrbanovic entered the meeting at this point.
Other questions were raised with respect to a possible need of Kitchener-Wilmot Hydro Inc. for a
substation, trails and interconnecting walkways and a number of environmental issues that are to
be resolved within a southerly plan.
Ms. Yvonne Fernandes appeared as a delegation on behalf of a group of area residents living in
the Brigadoon area who have expressed concern that they were excluded from the planning
process. The areas of concern relate to environmental impact which Mr. J. Stewart will be
addressing and heritage / historical issues which she wished to raise. Ms. Fernandes suggested
that First Nations Peoples should have had an opportunity to participate in the planning process at
the beginning of the proposed development. Further she raised concerns with regard to the need
for a noise impact study as well as expressing concern that trails in park areas were under hydro
lines and that it be ensured motorized vehicles were prohibited from using trail networks.
Mr. Jim Stewart appeared as a delegation with regard to the requirements of the Environmental
Impact Study. He expressed concern that grading was possibly not being done to established
standards as soil is washing away. He also expressed concern about water quality and
questioned whether this had been addressed as well as whether the proposed buffer zones were
adequate to protect wildlife. He stressed that he was not opposing the development, but that his
intent was to raise concerns for the Committee's consideration. Councillor J. Haalboom referred to
the Starsburg Creek Watershed Plan and questioned what assurances could be given with
respect to buffering that would protect the watershed. Mr. J. Stewart commented that the area
being developed was comprised of light brown soils and recommended the City review similar
studies as to potential impact. Ms. J. Given remarked on the Environmental Impact Report and the
Environmental Impact Statement and emphasized that Strasburg Creek Master Watershed Plan
was the guiding document respecting this matter. Further discussion took place

with respect to archaeology matters, noise and hydro corridors.
Councillor T. Galloway commented that the issue residents were drawing attention to was that
their properties were located beyond the 120-metre circulation requirement of the plan and
consequently they had received very little information respecting this development proposal. He
questioned if staff and the consultant could meet with residents to answer their concerns directly
before Council's consideration of this matter at its October 2, 2000 meeting. Councillor J.
Haalboom concurred with Councillor Galloway's comment and requested that staff ensure all
necessary buffering was in place to protect the Creek.
Ms. Carol Wiebe, MacNaughton Hermsen Britton Clarkson Planning Ltd., appeared as a
delegation on behalf of the applicant and indicated support of the staff recommendations in both
reports. She commented that the subject area had very unique characteristics and required
creative approaches to develop. These unique characteristics relate to a topography with steep
rolling grades that traverse the area, Huron Road which is a Heritage Highway, a hydro corridor
that runs north to south on an angle through the subject property and the main branch of the
Strasburg Creek. She commented that as a result of topography interesting streetscapes had
been developed and there were challenging servicing issues in this regard. With respect to Huron
Road, Ms. Wiebe noted that a 50-foot buffer has been provided for along the road right of way and
that all of the foundations of the Aberdeen Settlement were contained within the buffer area. She
advised that an exhaustive study of the Aberdeen Settlement area and possible Indian Burial
grounds had been completed. With reference to the hydro corridor she advised that an effort had
been made to minimize lots backing onto the hydro corridor by means of berming and buffering.
With respect to Strasburg Creek, all appropriate buffering had been completed. Ms. Wiebe noted
that all agencies were satisfied with the proposal and in regard to zoning advised that the plan had
been designed with a series of zones with minimum lot width and a range of housing including lots
with a wide - shallow format so as to reduce garage dominance of the dwelling structures.
Mr. Martin Jones, Stantec Consulting Limited, was in attendance in support of the applications and
to answer any questions. He advised that all studies had been completed and endorsed and
asked for the Committee's approval of the staff recommendation. Ms. Wiebe responded to a
number of questions from Councillor J. Haalboom dealing with the differences in this plan in
comparison to the 1998 proposed plan, engineering constraints, Heritage Kitchener concerns,
and heritage concerns as they relate to the 710 Huron Road. A question was raised as to the
ownership of 673099 Ontario Limited and Ms. Wiebe advised that it was actually a partnership
with Freure Homes as the primary partner along with a number of silent financial partners.
Councillor J. Haalboom requested assurance as to the impact of the development on 710 Huron
Road and Mr. B. Stanley advised that particular attention would be paid to it because it was a
heritage property and that the pre-grading requirement has to be reviewed by Public Works staff
and the General Manager of Business and Planning.
At the request of the Committee, Ms. Wiebe and staff agreed to meet with Ms. Fernandes and Mr.
Stewart and any other area residents to provide a detailed overview of the planning process that
had taken place in support of these applications.
The recommendations in the staff report, as well as in the addendum report, were then considered.

to the construction of the proposed sanitary sewage collection
system. The proponent must ensure that the application for
approval of sewage works, and appropriate supporting information,
are submitted to the Ministry of the Environment for approval.
This draft plan was received on or after May 22, 1996 and shall be

The owner/developer is advised that draft approval is not a
commitment by the Regional Municipality of Waterloo to water and
wastewater servicing capacity. To secure this commitment the
owner/developer must enter into an "Agreement for Servicing" with
the Regional Municipality of Waterloo by requesting that the
Region's Planning and Culture Department initiate preparation of
the agreement. When sufficient capacity is confirmed by the
Region's Commissioner of Engineering to service the density as
defined by the plan to be registered, the owner/developer will be
offered an "Agreement for Servicing". This agreement will be time
limited, define the servicing commitment by density and use.
Should the "Agreement for Servicing" expire prior to plan
registration, a new agreement will be required.
The owner/developer is to provide the Regional Municipality of
Waterloo with two print copies of the proposed plan to be registered
along with the written request for a servicing agreement.
11.
To ensure that a Regional Release is issued by the Regional
Commissioner of Planning and Culture to the City of Kitchener
prior to year end, it is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that
all fees have been paid, that all Regional conditions have been
satisfied and the required clearance letters, agreements, prints of
plan to be registered , and any other required information or
approvals have been deposited with the Regional Planner
responsible for the file, no later than December 15th. Regional staff
can not ensure that a Regional Release would be issued prior to
year end where the owner has failed to submit the appropriate
documentation by this date.
12.
When the survey has been completed and the final plan prepared,
to satisfy the requirements of the Registry Act, they should be
forwarded to the City of Kitchener. If the plans comply with the
terms of approval, and we have received an assurance from the
City of Kitchener and applicable clearance agencies that the
necessary arrangements have been made, the City's General
Manager of Business and Planning Services will endorse the plan
and it will be forwarded to the Registry Office for registration.
The following is required for registration and under The Registry Act

ZELLER DRIVE - NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SITE PLAN
RE: NEIGHBOURHOOD CONCERNS
Mr. Robert Bentley appeared as a delegation on behalf of Susan Court residents to express their
concerns relative to the site plan of a new school opening in September 2001 on Zeller Drive.
Correspondence dated September 17, 2000 signed by residents was distributed in this regard. He
advised that a number of residents had been asking the school board for a site plan for some time
and finally received it less than 10 days ago. Their concern relates to the proximity of the building
to adjacent residences and more specifically to the area between the school and the residences
being used as a laneway and parking lot. He noted that rough grading of the site has commenced
and residents wish to propose some recommendations to revise the site plan. They request the
garbage disposal area and recycling bins be shifted away from the ESPA to another location. On
the issue of proximity to residences, they had concerns about noise, security lighting and the
amount of pavement and the lack of privacy resulting from the laneway and parking lot. They also
have concern pertaining to a walkway from Susan Court that accesses the school's property and
are of the opinion vehicular traffic on their street will increase with students being dropped off at
the walkway access.
Mayor C. Zehr advised that a meeting between Council and School Board Representatives was
being scheduled for next Monday afternoon to discuss this issue. He asked that appropriate staff
familiarize themselves with the matter so as to provide comment at that meeting.
In response to Councillor B. Vrbanovic, Mr. B. Stanley provided an explanation of the site plan
approval process which has been delegated to staff by Council and referenced legal issues
involved. Councillor Vrbanovic requested that Mr. Stanley discuss the process with legal staff as
to whether there was the possibility of obtaining some public input during the process. Mr. Stanley
noted that there appears to be more conflict over school sites and adjacent residences as school
sites shrink and fewer joint school - park sites develop as compared to past years.
Councillor Jake Smola questioned if zoning could be utilized to address the type of problem at
hand and Mr. Stanley agreed that staff could consider his suggestion.

REGIONAL GROUND WATER PROTECTION STRATEGY
The Committee was in receipt of Business and Planning Services staff report BPS-00-124 dated
September 19, 2000 prepared as a response to the Draft Regional Official Policies Plan
Amendment - Regional Groundwater Protection Strategy. Staff request that Council re-affirm its
request to Regional Council to defer adoption of an amendment which would restrict existing non-
residential land uses in existing non-residential identified areas having sensitive groundwater
resources, until such time as implementation strategies have been considered in more detail. It
was noted in the report that since the passing of Council's original resolution there have been no
obvious attempts by the Region to address the City's concerns.
Mr. G. Borovilos provided an explanation of staff's concern as outlined in the report.
Mayor C. Zehr advised that an updated report on this matter was just dealt with at the Region's
Planning and Culture Committee. He commented on the dilemma relating to this issue as it
pertains to the request for deferral as opposed to the need to obtain certainty for business owners.
Mr. B. Stanley explained the suggested two-phase approach noting that greenfield development
could move forward but existing sites should be deferred and policies should be phased in.
