zoning. Through a number of studies, the City confirmed that this pumping station requires
upgrades in order to accommodate further development within the Service Area, including
planned buildout of the Conestoga College Doon Campus.
The work includes the replacement of the existing sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water supply
system, roadway, curb and gutter, sidewalks and municipal service connections to the street
property line, construction of new sanitary pumping station, and demolition of existing
sanitary pumping station.

These costs are included in the line item "Projected Costs: Staff Time/Material testing", and
will be itemized when they exceed $125,000. Included in this line item are staff time and
expenses for all city staff in support of the project such as Engineering and Kitchener
Utilities. The line item also includes geotechnical and material testing as well as any other
miscellaneous costs. Projects utilizing in-house staff will include costs for inspection during
construction and contract administration.

The financial implications: this public art project is funded at the $29,000 level in accordance

BACKGROUND:
The City of Kitchener’s public art program installs site-specific works throughout the city. These
art works represent a wide variety of styles and materials, with a preference for innovation,
responsiveness to the site, low-maintenance and durability. Public art is usually created in
conjunction with new major construction or renovation of facilities such as libraries, community
centres, fire stations, parking garages, and other city-owned buildings to which the public has
access. The goal of the public art policy is to contribute to the City’s cultural identity and its

strategic priorities. Some of the intended benefits is a better quality of life, increased social
cohesion, good urban design, broad community involvement and public access to the arts.
The Doon Pioneer Park Community Centre project is eligible for public art through the City of
Kitchener’s public art/percent for art program, guided by Public Art Policy I-816. Through this
mechanism, 1% of the construction cost is allocated for the acquisition of public art. In 2019-
2020, the community centre underwent a renovation and expansion of its indoor and outdoor
spaces. The renovation allowed for the creation of an outdoor grassy area, divided by a sidewalk
into two sections located at the front of the building. The proposed public art installation would
be located on one of these grassy sections. One of the key priorities for the renovation was to
accommodate a bigger space for the community to gather with friends and neighbours. The
renovation included the addition of several additional meeting and programming spaces, a
second large gymnasium, a spacious lobby and seating area and a new water splash pad in
front of the building. The centre is truly becoming the hub of community activity in the Doon
area.
REPORT:
Competition
Through discussion with community centre staff about community aspirationsfor the new
outdoor space, it was identified that the artwork should: offer neighbours the opportunity to
gather to enjoy various activities; and create an inviting, comfortable and welcoming space for
visitors to make their own. Anticipated uses include playing on the splash pad, reading books
from the library, enjoying a coffee with neighbours. As a result, project stakeholders identified a
need for creative outdoor seating that combines functionality and sculptural aesthetic that would
visually complement the new façade of the building and support the identified needs.
A one-stage public art competition was announced in June 2019. Nine applicants were
considered by the jury and one selected in December 2019. Jury members were artist and Public
Art Working Group member, Sumaira Tazeen, artists Ernest Daetwyler and Michelle Purchase,
project partners Natascha Voll and Brigid Loveday, Councillor Christine Michaud, and citizens
at large Jean Haalboom and Yvonne Fernandes from the Doon Pioneer Park Community
Association. The jury selected the proposal “Outdoor Community” (Appendix “A”) by Bennet Oh,
Jinsu Park and Ethan Schwartz,as the winning entry. Following the jury process, Arts and
Creative Industries consulted with city staff and the Grand River Accessibility Committee, to
clarify questions raised by the jury concerning materials and accessibility. In addition, site visits
were required by the artist team to finalize the design. This process was significantly delayed by
the pandemic. The jury’s selection was supported in a motion by the Public Art Working Group
at its meeting on December 14, 2020, followed by an endorsement by the Arts and Culture
Advisory Committee on January 19, 2021.
Winning Proposal
The selected artist team - Bennett Oh, Jinsu Park and Ethan Schwartz – are recent graduates
of the University of Waterloo School of Architecture who have been collaborating in various
projects together as OPS Design Studio. The team delivers competitions and design build
3 - 2
projects from conceptualization to construction. Their multidisciplinary interests, and
appreciation for craft, composition and detail make them distinct designers in the field.
The team designed a bench for one of the grassy areas in front of the centre. The bench follows
a natural undulating path that creates smaller interconnected seating areas. Visitors can sit while
supervising their children playing in the splash pad or enjoy a quiet moment of rest. Conversely,
the bench becomes premade seating for coordinated activities facing inwards when there are
group events. Having neither a front nor back, the bench’s multi-various curvatures lend
themselves to creative interpretations. The proposed bench fulfills accessibility requirements of
height and width, with armrests added for extra support. Sections of the bench are also located
closer to the concrete surround to accommodate users with mobility challenges.
The jury concluded that the dynamic design of the bench will resonate with the community that
uses the facility and offers both opportunities for social interaction and semi-private reflection.
Further, the jury appreciated the use of natural materials, enhancing the grounding experience
offered by the bench. The jury also observed that the artwork’s aesthetic compliment other
elements of the site, in particular, by enhancing some of the splashpad’s steel sculptural fixtures.
Location
The Doon Pioneer Park Community centre is in the southwest corner of the city at 150 Pioneer
Park Drive. The centre is a neighbourhood hub which welcomes more than 20,000 residents to
partake of its amenities. A local branch of the Kitchener Public Library is located within the
building.
The outdoor bench will be located on the property’s “front lawn”, nestled between the building
and the new splash pad. Project stakeholders imagine visitors using the installation as part of
the space: a rest area to compliment the use of the splash pad and a venue to extend the centre’s
programming through outdoor programs, concerts, and much more.
Installation
The artwork will be installed when outdoor conditions are appropriate in the spring/early summer
of 2021. An alternative installation time is fall 2021.
The city will be responsible for installation, working with the artist team on exact placement.
ALIGNMENT WITH CITY OF KITCHENER STRATEGIC PLAN:
The recommendation of this report supports the achievement of the city’s strategic vision through
the delivery of core service.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
This public art project is funded at the $29,000 level in accordance with Public Art Policy I-816.
$26,500 is provided for the commissioned artwork. The remainder of $2500 from these funds
will be allocated towards the estimated cost of administration, installation, and signage with an
additional $2500 allocation from the public art capital account.

Zoning By-law 2019-51 (CRoZBy Stage 1) to one specific property, therefore bringing the
balance of the by-law into effect. As such, the attached site-specific zoning by-law may
proceed for three readings.
The Region of Waterloo approved the site specific OPA Number 9 on November 18, 2020.
No appeals were received.
REPORT:
The attached zoning by-law amendment would change the zoning of 155 Borden Avenue
North from Residential Five (R-6) to Residential Eight with Special Regulation Provision
753R in Zoning By-law 85-1.
The zoning by-law amendment would also remove lands addressed as 169 Borden Avenue
North from Zoning By-law 2019-051 and add the lands back into Zoning By-law 85-1. The
zoning of the lands would change from Neighbourhood Institutional (INS-1) to Residential
Eight with Special Regulation Provision 753R.
Through the site planning process, the Owner requested a revision to the site-specific by-
law that was endorsed by Kitchener City Council on February 24, 2020. The rear portion of
the building was shifted when the site was redesigned to accommodate a surface parking
at the same elevation as the basement at the rear of the property. The redesign of the rear
portion of the site eliminates the need for a large retaining wall. The rear five storey portion
of the building is now approximately 2.0 metres closer to north/side property line. Paragraph
d.of the proposed by-law now requires a minimum yard abutting the properties municipally
addressed as 441, 449, 455, and 459 East Avenue of 14.5 metres. The previous by-law
required a 16.5 metre setback.
The setback of 14.5 metres is sufficient and only applies to the rear portion of the building.
The taller six storey portion of the building is still required to be 28.0 metres from the property
line shared with the East Avenue properties. Overall, the changes eliminate the need for
large retaining walls in the rear at the property line. The parking areas will be appropriately
screened from adjacent properties with fencing and landscaping. By removing large portions
of the previously proposed retaining wall along the property line, in addition to the visual
barrier (solid wood fence) along the shared property line, additional landscaping can be
provided to buffer the parking areas. Planning staff support the revised setback, and the Site
Plan Review Committee gave Approval in Principle to the site plan attached as Appendix
The by-law changes are noted on the site plan for reference.
Secondly, language is corrected to require a setback from the Borden Avenue North
streetline of 10.0 metres for any portion of a building greater than five storeys in height,
rather than four storeys. There was a typographic error in the previous by-law the setbacks
along Borden Avenue North have not changed, and the tallest portion of the building requires
4 - 2
a 10 metre setback, whereas the four and five storeys portions are now subject to the same
6.0 metre setback (paragraph I in the attached by-law). The revised by-law does not allow
for any addition in height to the building, and the building design along Borden Avenue North
has not changed.
