WASHBURN DRIVE, HURON BUSINESS PARK
-OFFER TO PURCHASE - SITE 142-HURON MODEL AND GAUGE INC.
SOUTH WARD
Councillors B. Vrbanovic and K. Taylor-Harrison entered the meeting at this point.
The Committee considered Business and Planning Services staff report BPS-00-106 dated August
14, 2000 dealing with an offer to purchase submitted by Huron Model and Gauge Inc. respecting
site 142 on Washburn Drive in the Huron Business Park.
Ms. K. Bissell provided a brief summary of the report and referenced the fact that initially an offer
had been received from lan Cook Construction Ltd. that was subsequently matched by Huron
Model and Gauge which previously had a first right of refusal for the subject lands. She advised
that the recommendation in the report should be corrected to refer to an approximate area of 1.32
acres rather than 1.2 acres. Ms. Bissell then referred to the request that the City credit the
additional seven thousand square feet Huron Model and Gauge had constructed on their current
facility towards the 6,000 square foot building requirement of the subject site. In response to Mayor
C. Zehr, she advised that lan Cook Construction had planned to begin construction within one
year. Mr. R. Morgan summarized the offer from lan Cook Construction and noted that Huron Model
and Gauge had matched the offer, but has asked for consideration of a credit and an additional
one year before commencing construction. He pointed out that the real estate agent for lan Cook
Construction was aware of staff's recommendation in this regard.
Mr. Ron Woynarski, Pavey Law, Solicitors appeared as a delegation on behalf of Huron Model
and Gauge along with the company's president, Mr. Fred Kindall. He advised that his client was
committed to the offer and would start construction of the building within one year and complete it
within two years if required to do so. However, he advised that since Huron Model and Gauge was
growing so quickly and had recently completed their adjacent building, it was their preference to
have some additional time to consolidate their operations and then undertake to build the best
possible building such as the one they recently completed, which is up for an award.
A brief discussion took place with comments by Mayor C. Zehr and Councillors J. Ziegler and T.
Galloway.

July 21,2000 attached to the report.
It was pointed out that notice that the Committee would hold a public meeting this date to consider

The Committee was advised that the Department of Business and Planning Services was in
receipt of applications for Zone Change and Subdivision submitted by Activa Holdings
Incorporated with respect to a parcel of land approximately 20.898 hectares in size. It is noted in
the report that the subject lands are located approximately mid-way between Trussler Road and
Fischer Hallman Road, south of Highway 7 (Conestoga Parkway), and north of Ottawa Street
South. The subject lands are proposed to be re-zoned and subdivided into Iotless blocks and the
exact number of lots and units will be dependant upon market conditions and will be determined at
the time of registration in conformity with the proposed zoning. The area will accommodate
between 370 and 445 dwelling units in a variety of residential forms, including single detached,
semi-detached and duplex dwellings, as well as street fronting townhouses. In this regard, the
Committee considered staff report BPS-00-090 dated July 24, 2000 and a proposed by-law dated
July 19, 2000 attached to the report. Accompanying the Subdivision and Zone Change
Applications was a proposed revision to the Laurentian West Community Plan which would
designate a portion of the subject lands from multiple residential uses to Iow density residential.
It was pointed out that notice that the Committee would hold a public meeting this date to consider
this matter had previously been given.
Mr. Blake Hurley provided a lengthy explanation of the purpose of the report and distributed a
revised proposed by-law dated July 19, 2000 as well as a revised Map No. 1 (Zoning) of the
proposed subdivision. He noted that the revised zoning by-law and map prohibit development of
multiple units on Blocks 2, 3, 4 and 5. He referred to concerns that the department had received
and how they were addressed. In particular he commented on Blocks 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Area 6 and
noted that street fronting townhouses were now proposed. Ms. C. Ladd advised that street fronting
townhouses had been proposed in accordance with existing policies and that the property owner
had agreed to delete all multiple uses except street fronting townhouses. In response to Mayor
Zehr, Ms. Ladd advised that the park dedication referred to in Stage 1, mirrored a similar size
dedication in the adjacent easterly subdivision. Councillor T. Galloway indicated that he would like
to see additional park frontage on Fox Glove Drive and intended to request that Block 3 in Stage 1
be reduced in order to eliminate an obscure corner in the park and increase its' frontage.

Mr. Bruce Wilson, BOW Land Planning Service appeared as a delegation on behalf of the
following adjacent property owners: Mrs. Schmitt, Mr. Weinhardt and Mr. Bosika. Mr. Wilson
distributed a submission dated August 18, 2000 listing the concerns of his clients in respect to the
zoning of Stage 5, timing of registration of Stages, the alignments of Fox Glove Drive and
Mahogany Street where they would extend into his clients' lands and suggested revisions
respecting these matters.
Ms. C. Ladd advised that staff would ensure that right of ways and property lines properly match
up and commented that staging was done for certain reasons and it was not normal practice to
dictate the order of staging.
Mr. Ernie Weinhardt indicated that he did not wish to make a presentation.
Mr. Willi Kellner advised that he was the owner of 1825 Ottawa Street South, which was situated
opposite the westerly portion of the subdivision plan and advised that he was strongly opposed to
the proposal for street townhouses backing onto Ottawa Street, on the basis that they would
negatively affect his property value.
Mr. Paul Britton, McNaughton Hermsen Britton Clarkson, appeared as a delegation on behalf of
Activa Holdings Incorporated. Mr. Britton circulated a copy of the current community plan for
Laurentian West. He noted that representatives from Activa and Stantec Consultants were also in
attendance and prepared to answer any questions if required. Mr. Britton agreed with the
comments of Mr. B. Wison that temporary turn circles should be included in the streets within
Stage 5 of the subdivision plan. He noted that the plan represented an overall reduction in density
than what was originally contemplated for the lands and that he would agree to change zoning
from R6 to R4 in interface areas. In reference to the concerns expressed regarding road
alignments of Fox Glove Drive and Mahogany Street matching up with future development of lands
to the west, he advised that the plan had been revised to provide for two connections and that the
applicant would be willing to re-shift one street to an 18-meter width. Mr. Britton noted that on the
issue of park street frontage 30 meters was the city standard for such size of park and Ms. C. Ladd
confirmed that anything above 30 meters of frontage would require the City to pay for the
additional portion. In response to Councillor C. Weylie, Mr. Britton indicated that on Map No. 1,
distributed with the revised proposed by-law this date, Blocks 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Area 6 and Blocks 7
and 15 of Area 3 could be revised from R6 and R6 with special provisions to R4 to accommodate
concerns that have been expressed with regard to townhouses.
Councillor T. Galloway commented that he had previously requested staff to propose revision to
standard conditions in the city's development agreements to ensure timely completion of
conditions relating to trees and asphalt and eliminate the time lag in that regard. He indicated that
he would rather defer the subdivision plan to bring these subdivision conditions forward. Mr. D.
Mansell responded that staff were working on these matters and noted that the requirement for
surface asphalt is often deferred at the request of the Public Works Department for various
engineering reasons. He explained that since 1973 the City has tried to avoid accepting services
in bits and pieces and has proceeded on a street by street basis. Mr. P. Britton commented that it
would be unfair to hold up a subdivision because of a policy that was under development but
would agree to consideration of a modification to the draft plan as it relates to these issues.
Ms. C. Ladd provided suggested wording for modification to the subdivision in the event a new city
policy is approved by City Council regarding the timely provision of above ground services. Mayor
C. Zehr advised that he was in concurrence with the suggestion of Ms. Ladd.

3, 4 and 5 of Area 6 and Blocks 7 and 15 of Area 3 be zoned Residential Four Zone (R-4) as
shown on Map No. 1 distributed this date by Mr. Hurley. It was also agreed to revise the plan of
subdivision dated July 19, 2000 in respect to the stages listed under recommendation C 1 of the
staff report to reflect deletion of proposed townhouses and their replacement with single and semi-
detached units in accordance with earlier discussion. It was also asked that staff resolve the
alignment issue with regard to Fox Glove Drive and Mahogany Street prior to the August 28, 2000
Council meeting. Also, it was previously indicated that an additional condition would be developed
with respect to the timely provision of above ground services and the agreement of the subdivider
to include same through modifications prior to registration of the plan.

request made under b) above. In addition to the normal
registered requirements, this plan must either include or be
accompanied by a listing that includes metric area calculations
certified by an Ontario Land Surveyor for every lot and block on

The final plans for Registration must be in conformity with Ontario
Regulation 43/96, as amended, under the Registry Act.
It is the responsibility of the owner of this draft plan to advise the
Regional Municipality of Waterloo and the City of Kitchener
Department of Business and Planning Services of any changes in
ownership, agent, address, and phone number.
Most of the Regional Municipality of Waterloo conditions can be
satisfied through an agreement. The onus in on the owner to contact
Regional staff in writing to request the preparation of such an
agreement. A copy of a reference plan showing the lands to be
registered that are affected by the agreement and the conditions to be
covered by agreement should be provided. The fees for the
preparation and registration of this agreement, payable to the
Regional Municipality of Waterloo, are currently $375.00 and $50.00
respectively.
The owner/developer is advised that the Regional Municipality of
Waterloo has adopted By-law 96-025, pursuant to Section 69 of the
Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990 c. P.13, to prescribe a tariff of fees for

1990 c. P.13, as amended by S.O. 1996, c.4 (Bill 20).
10.
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 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, use and stipulate that 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 the
approval, and we have received an assurance from the Regional
Municipality of Waterloo and applicable clearance agencies that the
necessary arrangements have been made, the General Manager's
signature will be endorsed on the plan and it will be forwarded to the
Registry Office for registration.

PLANS OF SUBDIVISION AND CONDOMINIUM, PHASE 2
The Committee considered Business and Planning Services staff report BPS-00-107 dated August
14, 2000, dealing with implementation of Delegated Approval Authority for Plans of Subdivision
and Condominium, Phase 2.
It was noted in the report that on June 13, 2000, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing
made an order which had the effect of withdrawing approval authority for Plans of Subdivision and
Condominium received prior to March 28, 1995 from the Region and delegating it to the Council of
the City of Kitchener. This order implements Phase 2 of the Delegated Approval programme and
accordingly, the City now exercises approval authority for all Plans of Subdivision and
Condominium, regardless of the date they were received.
The Committee was advised that staff had nothing further to add in respect to this matter.
On motion by Mayor C. Zehr:
It was resolved:
"1)
That City Council approve the draft By-law attached to staff report BPS-00-107, to
further delegate to the General Manager of Business and Planning Services certain
authority relative to plans of subdivision and plans of condominium under the
provisions of Section 51.2 of the Planning Act; and

respect to the property known municipally as 1762 Old Mill Road. It was noted in the report that on

to the land use designation of 1762 Old Mill Road in light of the potential purchase of the property
by the Homer Watson House Foundation and in addition, information was requested relative to the
process for a change in land use. The staff report discusses implications in this regard.

CITY OF KITCHENER
The Committee considered Business and Planning Services staff report BPS-00-103 dated August
11, 2000 prepared as an addendum to staff reports PD 97/80 and PD98/38. The reports deal with
the matter of a second means of access to Hidden Valley / Wabanaki Drive extension and the
request of Vace Investments Inc. - Bridle Path Estates in that regard.
Mr. L. Masseo summarized the history of this issue as outlined in the background section of the
staff report and noted that with completion of the environmental assessment, Vace was proposing
to advance $500,000. to implement the second means of access to Hidden Valley. He advised that
staff did not agree with the proposal by Vace and suggested at a minimum, the building permit cap
could be relaxed if a temporary emergency access could be constructed between Fairway Road
and Hidden Valley Drive. Further, the staff recommended that no consideration be given to
advancing the time frame for the Wabanaki Drive extension. In response to Councillor J. Ziegler,
Mr. D. Mansell recommended that the timing issue not be dealt with at this point. It was requested
that when this matter comes to the annual budget meeting, the newspaper article describing a
recent blockage of access to the area be attached to staff's report. Councillor J. Ziegler asked that
questions of Richard and Kathryn Payette contained in their August 13, 2000 correspondence be
addressed. For the record, the Committee was also in receipt of correspondence dated August 16,
2000 from Lynne Dowsett.
Mr. Aaron Klassen appeared as a delegation on behalf of Vace Investments / Bridle Path Estates
and read his August 21, 2000 submission that was distributed to the Committee with its agenda.
His submission described the offer of Bridle Path Estates to provide $500,000. to fund the cost of a
road connection between Fairway Road and Hidden Valley Road and the rationale to support it.
Subsequently the requirements of the subdivision agreement would then have been met and the
holding provision on building permit issuance could be lifted.
Mr. Paul Dietrich, also appeared as a delegation on behalf of Vace Investments / Bridle Path
Estates respecting their proposal. He suggested that they pay for access across Motz Park but
that it be barricaded but not opened and that the City could then budget for the completion of the
road at a later date. Further, he noted that their cost would be significantly more than $500,000.,
as the railroad crossing signals were at least $250,000. Councillor J. Ziegler summarized that this
temporary access would effectively be the first stage in completion of a permanent road access
and would be used as an emergency access in the interim in exchange for the subdivision being
able to obtain building permits.
Mr. K. Meyer commented that traffic staff had a concern that by lifting the holding provision, higher
volumes of traffic would be introduced into the Hidden Valley area, whose roads were at this time
developed only to a rural standard. Mayor C. Zehr noted that it was unlikely many homes would be
built in the near future if the holding provision was released.
Councillor J. Ziegler suggested that in respect to recommendation 1) of report BPS-00-103, it be
revised to delete reference to the City's ten Year Capital Forecast, and a phrase be added at the
end to read 'with emphasis being made on the need for safety in the community and a second
access'. In respect to Recommendation 2), he suggested it could be revised to lift the fifteen
building permit cap subject to the developer providing funds to complete the Wabanaki Drive
extension.
Mr. D. Mansell commented on the substantial period of time it would take to get necessary
approvals and tender for the road.
