TERMS OF REFERENCE) -INCLUSION OF NON-DESIGNATED
PROPERTIES ON THE CITY'S HERITAGE REGISTER (CONT'D)
Council Policy I-110 (Heritage Kitchener -Terms of Reference) -inclusion of non-designated
properties on the City's heritage register. Mr. Bensason advised staff are in agreement with the
Heritage Kitchener recommendation, and wish to change the recommendation in DTS-05-213 to
that contained in CRPS-06-009.
Mr. Bensason then reviewed report DTS-05-213, advising of the recent changes to the Ontario
Heritage Act and the new provision to allow municipal councils to add non-designate properties
to the Heritage Register in addition to properties that have been designated under the Ontario
Heritage Act. Consequently, the Heritage Register would serve as a consolidation to identify all
properties formally considered to be of cultural heritage value or interest. Mr. Bensason then
explained the significance attributed to listed properties, through the Provincial Policy Statement
issued under the authority of Section 3 of the Planning Act, effective March 1, 2005. Policy 2.6.1
of the Policy Statement states that "...significant built heritage resources and cultural heritage
landscapes shall be conserved." The definition of built heritage resources, in the Provincial
Policy Statement, was changed to add the following: "These resources may be identified
through designation or heritage conservation easement under the Ontario Heritage Act, or listed
by local, provincial or federal jurisdictions." Mr. Bensason noted that by adding this sentence to
the definition of built heritage resources, the City has a responsibility when deciding on Planning
Act applications affecting non-designated but listed heritage resources, that the decisions must
be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, which states these resources shall be
conserved.
Mr. Bensason then reviewed the steps to be taken prior to a recommendation coming to Council
from Heritage Kitchener to list non-designated properties of cultural heritage value or interest on
the Heritage Register. He advised that by following this process, it is intended that the current
heritage inventory will eventually become redundant. He also advised that by use of funding
from the Heritage Conservation District account, Ms. S. Barber's contract will be extended to
undertake the required work for this project. He stated the first properties to go through this
process will be those located in Centre Block.
Councillor M. Galloway moved the recommendation as put forward by Mr. Bensason at this
meeting.
Mayor Zehr questioned whether there is an appeal process for property owners. Mr. Bensason
advised an appeal process is not included in the Ontario Heritage Act; however, non-designated
properties can only be added to the Heritage Register with Council's approval. Staff believe it is
important for the property owner to be informed that their property is being considered for
inclusion in the register, and given an opportunity to state their position in this regard, before a
recommendation comes to Council.
Mayor Zehr expressed concern that the rights of property owners of non-designated properties
on the register will be restricted without them having recourse to an appeal process. Also, there
appears to be conflict between the Ontario Heritage Act and the Planning Act. Further, this
responsibility places far more onus on Council.
Councillor Galloway advised that Heritage Kitchener took a great deal of time and thought in
developing this procedure to be followed before they can recommend properties to be added to
the Heritage Register, and the process is substantial.
Mayor Zehr put forward a recommendation to defer consideration of this matter to next Monday
night's Council meeting to allow him an opportunity to get more information from staff on the
impact to property owners of having their properties included on the Heritage Register.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The Committee considered Development and Technical Services Department report DTS-06-
002, dated December 23, 2005, regarding the Greenbrook Drive traffic calming Schedule B

JANUARY 9, 2006 - 6- CITY OF KITCHENER
9. DTS-06-002 - GREENBROOK DRIVE TRAFFIC CALMING SCHEDULE B CLASS
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT (CONT'D)
Mr. P. Grubb, Paradigm Transportation Solutions Ltd., presented the Traffic Calming
Environmental Assessment for Greenbrook Drive. In conclusion he advised that figure 4.5 on
page 30 of the assessment is the recommended solution. Further problems identified at the
intersection of Greenbrook Drive and Westmount Road East are beyond this assessment, and
the Region of Waterloo will be conducting a study on this intersection.
Mr. O. Lackenbauer addressed the Committee in this regard advising he has lived at his property
on Greenbrook Drive, between Westmount and Stirling, for 22 years. He commended Councillor
Lorentz and staff for the excellent public consultation process with respect to this environmental
assessment, and advised he supports the study, but more needs to be done.
Mr. Lackenbauer noted the following problems that need to be addressed:
• traffic exiting Homer Watson Boulevard using either Pleasant Avenue and Perth Road or
Greenbrook Drive, require re-instatement of the plan respecting Homer Watson
Boulevard being extended to Belmont Avenue;
• traffic on Greenbrook Drive has increased dramatically;
• this is a "recycled" neighbourhood, with younger families with young children again
populating this area;
• Police have clocked vehicles travelling at as much as 92 km/h r.
He again advised he supports this environmental assessment.
Mr. J. Hoey, a resident in the area of Blue Ridge Drive, Gatewood Road and Lakeside Drive,
addressed the Committee providing the following concerns:
• implementation of the solution proposed in the environmental assessment will cause an
increase in traffic on other streets in his area, as traffic seeks other routes in order to
avoid these traffic calming measures;
• currently there is a 3-way stop at Stirling Avenue, which makes left turns very difficult, if
there is a chicane between Lakeside Drive and the pumping station it will be impossible to
turn left;
• although Gatewood Road and Blue Ridge Drive don't abut Greenbrook Drive, he felt the
residents on these streets should have had the opportunity of participating in the public
consultation for this assessment, as their streets will be impacted by the measures
proposed.
Mr. Hoey suggested the City should consider a less expensive method of dealing with traffic
calming such as 3-way and 4-way stops.
Mr. Grubb advised the purpose of installing these traffic calming measures on a temporary
basis, starting in February, is to allow Grand River Transit and the City's Operations staff
(snowploughing) to experience what problems may occur. Further, it is not expected there will
be a major diversion of traffic to other streets as a result of these proposed measures, which will
only cause a 2 second increase in travel time.
Upon questioning, Mr. McBride advised some of the temporary traffic calming measures will be
installed in mid-February, after the required 30 day filing period. The remainder will be installed
in April. These temporary measures will be in place for approximately 3 months, they will then
be evaluated, including input from residents. Staff will present a report to Council in the late
summer or early fall. Then permanent traffic calming measures will be installed as the funding
becomes available.

On motion by Councillor G. Lorentz -
itwas resolved:
"That the Preferred Alternative outlined in the "Traffic Calming Environmental Assessment
Greenbrook Drive", dated December 30, 2005, prepared by Paradigm Transportation
Solutions Ltd., be endorsed; and,
That the Class B Environmental Assessment (EA) project file report for the Greenbrook
Drive Traffic Calming Study be filed with the City Clerk for a thirty (30) day public review
commencing January 17, 2006; and,
That the Recommended Plan be installed on a temporary basis in order to monitor the
operation of winter maintenance, to be implemented on a permanent basis as funding
permits; and further,
That prior to any permanent traffic calming measures being installed, staff solicit input
from the residents as to the effectiveness of the temporary measures and the desirability
of installing these measures permanently."
10. PRESENTATION -SOUTH KITCHENER TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR STUDY
Ms. P. Sawicki and Mr. D. Drackley, Regional Municipality of Waterloo, were in attendance to
present the Region's "South Kitchener Transportation Corridor Study". Through their
presentation they identified the major public issues which came to light through the public
consultation process, being: environment/natural area impacts, roadway continuity/traffic
congestion, groundwater impacts, and the impact on Stonegate Drive. The main problems
identified in the study include: worsening capacity deficiencies at key intersections; Fairway
Road will be at capacity by 2011; limited Highway 8 access; and, beyond 2011, planned
roadway capacity improvements alone cannot accommodate further traffic growth.
In terms of identifying the best solution to address traffic and transportation problems, the study
takes into consideration the natural heritage, cultural landscape and archaeology in the Hidden
Valley area. It was outlined in the presentation that there are forested lands abutting ESPA 27
that meet the Region's ESPA criteria, and should be designated as such. Cultural heritage
highlights include 2 designated heritage properties and 1 ruin. Other highlights include this area
as being a significant groundwater recharge zone with 3 Regional wells near Manitou Drive.
Of the solutions put forward in the study, the public preferred Option #5, where the Grand River
Conservation Authority preferred Option #4. Regional staff put forward a hybrid Alternative #4
with a partial interchange at Highway 8 and Fairway Road, requiring a new northbound ramp,
which they believe is the best compromise solution. The City and the Region will have to deal
with the residents of Stonegate Drive.
Mr. Sawicki advised that Regional staff need comments from the City of Kitchener on this study
by the end of February and its is expected that Regional Council will make its final decision in 3-
4months.
Ms. D. Nicholls was in attendance to present her request that the Region do its utmost to
preserve the natural heritage in this area through this process. She read aloud her written
submission which was distributed to members of the Committee this date.

to be developed through this report would provide sufficient new lots fora 7 year supply. Not all
of these lots can proceed immediately so it is appropriate to approve more lots than can be
developed in the near future.
Mr. G. Scheels, G.S.P. Group, was in attendance on behalf of his clients, Monarch Corporation
and Grandview Homes, to request two parcels of land be moved forward in the Staging of
Development report, to receive approval in 2007, rather than post-2007. These lands are
located in the Doon South Community and are identified as parcels #97 and #101. He advised
that parcel #97 is well into the planning process at this time. Further, although the Blair Bechtel
Bauman Functional Study has not received final approval, it has been completed, and has met
with acceptance from the industry and agencies. Mr. Scheels provided Committee members
with a written submission in this regard, this date.
Mr. Willmer acknowledged the drainage study has been completed, and the community plan will
be undertaken in 2006. He stated that staff do not want this plan of subdivision to drive the
community plan process; however, it may be appropriate for staff to circulate the subdivision
plans for these properties once the community plan is substantially complete.
Mr. P. Britton, MHBC Planning, was in attendance on behalf of the Max Becker Group, in
support of the Staging of Development report. He was also in attendance on behalf of Hallman
Construction who own parcel #91 in the Staging report which is adjacent to parcel #101,
identified by Mr. Scheels as being owned by Grandview Homes. He requested that the City
accept submission of a plan of subdivision for this land, to be processed once the community
plan process has been substantially completed, with an eye to having the subdivision plan go
forward in 2007.
Ms. O. Gomes, Planning and Engineering Initiates Ltd. was in attendance on behalf of her client,
the Kitchener Portuguese Club, requesting development of their land, at 1548 Fischer Hallman
Road, be moved forward in the Staging of Development report. She advised they want to be
able to submit their draft plan this year for approval in 2007. They propose residential
development on the rear of their land, as it will be a natural extension of the adjacent Activa
subdivision.
Mr. Willmer advised all of this property is currently zoned Business Park. Noting the March 1,
2005, Provincial Policy Statement protecting employment lands, Mr. Willmer advised a
comprehensive study is required along with a Municipal Plan Amendment, then a zone change.
There will be serious concerns in the regard right through to the provincial level. The intent of
the Provincial Policy Statement is to protect such employment lands as this, and Mr. Willmer
could not recommend an earlier time frame for processing this plan of subdivision.
Upon questioning Mr. Willmer advised the owner must go through two stages, first the owner
must apply for a Municipal Plan Amendment. If the Municipal Plan Amendment is answered by
Council or the Ontario Municipal Board, then this property can be brought forward in the next
Staging report.
On motion by Mayor C. Zehr -
itwas resolved:
"That the Staging of Development Report 2006-Post 2007 (DTS-05-200) be approved;
and further,
That at such time as the community plan is sufficiently advanced, any plans of subdivision
which have been submitted for processing on the following lands will be circulated by the
City:
• Parcel # 97 - Monarch Corporation,
• Parcel #101 - Grandview Homes, and
• Parcel # 91 - Hallman Construction."
