CITY OF KITCHENER
The Council of the City of Kitchener met this date with all members present.
The meeting began with the singing of "0 Canada" by Dana Wagner, King School of Vocal.
On motion by Councillor C. Weylie, the minutes of the regular meeting held April 11, 2005 and special
meetings held April 11 and 18, 2005, as mailed to the Mayor and Councillors, were accepted.
COMMUNICATIONS REFERRED DIRECTLY TO FILE - NIL
Mr. L. Gordon, Director of Purchasing, was in attendance with respect to the tender listed on the
Committee of the Whole agenda.
Moved by Councillor G. Lorentz
Seconded by Councillor B. Vrbanovic
"That Tender T05-003, Spadina Road (Queen Street to Highland Road), Windsor Crescent
(Spadina Road to Spadina Road) and Ruby Street (Spadina Road to Highland Road) be
awarded to J. Weber Contracting Limited, Breslau, Ontario, at the revised tendered amount
of $1,811 ,599.85, including contingencies and GST; and further,
That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute an agreement satisfactory to the City
Solicitor ."
Carried.
Ms. Joan Oleskevich, Kitchener resident, requested clarification of issues related to a fence
constructed on her property as a result of a Committee of Adjustment application made in late 2002
and approved by City Council on January 27, 2003. She advised that she had requested staff to
clarify under the conditions of approval, why she was not permitted to raise the grade on her property;
alleging that her neighbour had raised the grade on their property past the property line and is
encroaching into her front yard. She added that she had received a letter in October 2004 from the
City's By-law Enforcement Division advising that the fence as constructed did not meet the standards
agreed upon, and she had taken steps to alter several fence posts that were higher than the
permitted 6 feet along the side yard. Subsequently, she requested a letter of confirmation to state
that the fence now meets the required standards but had not yet received a response. Ms.
Oleskevich further advised that in discussions with Mr. Shayne Turner, Director of Enforcement, he
had indicated that wording of Council's January 27, 2003 resolution implies that approval relates to
the fence as one entity rather than as separated by the Committee of Adjustment into two parts, being
the easterly side yard and the front yard. She stated that it was her understanding Council's approval
was to apply only to the side yard and raised concerns that the legality of the front yard fence would
be jeopardized should the side yard fence be taken down in future.
At the request of Mayor C. Zehr, Mr. G. Stewart, General Manager of Development & Technical
Services, agreed to ensure that the issues raised by Ms. Oleskevich this date are dealt with and if
further action is required, present a report for Council's future consideration.
Moved by Councillor C. Weylie
Seconded by Councillor J. Gazzola
"That the report of the Development and Technical Services Committee be adopted."
Council was in receipt this date of Development & Technical Services Department report DTS-05-067
(R. Shamess), dated April 20, 2005 (Addendum to report DTS-05-058 - Lancaster Street East
Reconstruction), relative to Clause 6 of the Development & Technical Services Committee report,
requesting approval for the reconstruction of Clarence Place, originally scheduled for 2006, to be
completed with the Lancaster Street reconstruction in 2005.
On motion by Councillor C. Weylie, seconded by Councillor J. Gazzola, it was agreed to amend
Clause 6 of the Finance and Corporate Services Committee report of this date to include
reconstruction of Clarence Place in 2005 (from Lancaster Street to Gordon Avenue), at an estimated

Seconded by Councillor J. Smola
"That the report of the Community Services Committee be adopted."
Carried.
Moved by Councillor B. Vrbanovic
Seconded by Councillor M. Galloway
"That the report of the Finance and Corporate Service Committee be adopted."
Councillor G. Lorentz referred to Clause 1 of the report dealing with a request by Mr. Shawn Miller to
amend licensing regulations as they relate to licensing of temporary vendors and inquired if Mr. Miller
had provided written clarification of his concerns, as requested at the April 18, 2005 Finance and
Corporate Services Committee meeting.
Mr. R. Gosse, Director of Legislated Services, advised that a written submission was not received
from Mr. Miller; however, Mr. Miller had contacted Licensing staff to indicate that he intended to pay
the 2005 licence fee and would forego pursuit of his concerns until 2006.
On motion by Councillor B. Vrbanovic, seconded by Councillor M. Galloway, it was agreed to replace
the deferral recommendation in Clause 1 of the Finance and Corporate Services Committee report to
reflect that no action be taken on the request of Mr. Shawn Miller to amend licensing regulations as
they relate to licensing of temporary vendors.
With regard to Clause 11 of the report dealing with approval of the business case for 'Expansion of
Downtown Financial Incentives' relative to establishment of an Upper Storey Renovation Program,
Councillor J. Gazzola questioned if it would cause any concern if the matter was deferred to the May
9, 2005 Council meeting. He stated that he had not had sufficient opportunity to review the proposal
and did not wish to vote for or against it at this time. Staff advised that timing was an issue as they
wished to implement the program this year. In order to do so, an amendment to the Downtown
Community Improvement Plan (CIP) is required, which must be submitted to the Ministry of Municipal
Affairs & Housing (MMAH) for approval. Staff intend to have the amending by-law considered at the
May 16, 2005 Development & Technical Services Committee meeting, with subsequent adoption at
the May 30, 2005 Council meeting and submit the required documentation by June 1 , 2005 to MMAH.
The MMAH has indicated that they should then be in a position to complete their review and forward
a decision by September 2005.
Mayor C. Zehr suggested that members of Council would have additional opportunity to discuss this
matter when the amending by-law is brought forward for consideration. Councillor J. Gazzola agreed
that the process should not be unduly delayed; however, he requested to be recorded as having
abstained from voting at this time with regard to Clause 11 of the Finance and Corporate Services
Committee report.
Council was in receipt this date of Corporate Services Department report CRPS-05-073 (P. Harris),
dated April 21, 2005, relative to Clause 10 of the Finance and Corporate Services Committee report,
dealing with an appeal by Mr. Nisar Jafferi of the decision of the Manager of Licensing not to issue a
licence to him to operate a refreshment vehicle (hot dog cart) at 640 Queen Street South.
Mr. R. Gosse advised that this matter was deferred at the April 18, 2005 Finance and Corporate
Services Committee meeting to allow additional information to be provided concerning the exact
location and placement of the cart and comments to be obtained from Transportation Planning staff.
These issues are addressed in the staff report and Mr. Gosse advised that based on concerns raised
by Transportation Planning regarding insufficient parking on-site, staff are recommending that Mr.
Jafferi's request be denied.

It was noted that Mr. Jafferi was in attendance and accordingly, he was given an opportunity to speak
to his request. He demonstrated the proposed location of the cart at the easterly side of the
commercial building, indicating that the property extends back approximately 75 ft. and from the front
of the building to the sidewalk is approximately 15 ft. He pointed out that 6 vehicles can park along
the side of the building; however, he anticipates most of his clientele will be pedestrian oriented. Mr.
Jafferi maintained that there would be no concerns regarding traffic and parking as a result of his
refreshment vehicle operation.
Councillor G. Lorentz asked if Mr. Jafferi would be willing to accept conditional approval wherein, if it
is proven that his operation is creating traffic and / or parking problems in the area the City would
reconsider issuance of his licence. Mr. Jafferi agreed to the condition and gave assurance that he
would operate his business responsibly. Councillor Lorentz also asked that staff review the location
at the end of the year to determine the appropriateness of the site for this type of business.
On motion by Councillor G. Lorentz, seconded by Councillor J. Smola, it was agreed to replace the
deferral recommendation in Clause 10 to authorize issuance of the licence, subject to obtaining the
necessary health and fire approvals and with a condition that in the event Transportation Planning
staff receive complaints regarding traffic and / or parking concerns at this location, the applicant be
notified and a report presented for Council's consideration; and, that this location be reviewed at the
end of 2005 to determine its appropriateness.
The Finance and Corporate Services Committee report was then voted on Clause by Clause.
Clause 1 - Carried, as Amended.
Clause 10 - Carried, as Amended.
Clause 11 - Carried.
Balance of report - Carried.
Councillor G. Lorentz referred to the Regional Municipality of Waterloo's decision to shut down the
Greenbrook Well System because of the presence of dioxane in the water. He commented that non-
operation of the well system is raising concerns regarding issues of liability as water pockets and
flooding is occurring in residential areas. Mayor C. Zehr advised that it was his understanding testing
of the well system would recommence shortly and he would follow-up on this matter with Regional
staff.
