Ms. Heather Thomson attended as a neighbourhood representative to comment on the activities of
General Environmental Group (GEG) and illustrate photographs pertaining to site conditions at 90
Woodside Avenue, express concerns regarding the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) draft
Certificate of Approval, as well as concerns with respect to City zoning and enforcement issues. She
noted that the location of the property and the proposed soil recycling use makes the proposal a
community -wide issue. Ms. Thomson outlined the boundary of the Woodside property and listed the
many community recreational facilities immediately adjacent to the property, as well as nearby St.
Mary's Hospital and J.F. Carmichael School. She expressed concern that there was no way to force
GEG to develop the lands as residential once the recycling operation was concluded. She then
referred to the matter of non -hazardous and non-toxic contaminated soils that are to be treated
completely within the facility but requested that these terms must be defined within the by-law in order
to provide for effective enforcement. Ms. Thomson noted a large portion of the building has been
demolished and that walls have been removed. She advised that the Certificate of Approval has not
yet been granted but that they have been told they will be provided with a draft copy of the conditions
COUNCIL MINUTES
JUNE 17, 2002 -236- CITY OF KITCHENER
as well as City Council and requested Council give the conditions detailed consideration. Further,
she pointed out that a suitable building must be in place to contain the recycling operation.
Councillor M. Galloway questioned what assistance Ms. Thomson was asking of the City. She
advised that a designated staff contact was needed who could co-ordinate issues among staff from
Planning, Community Services, Traffic, Fire, Economic Development and Enforcement. She also
raised a concern with respect to reference being made to 'soil -like' material. Mr. J. Fielding advised
that staff would assist to whatever extent Council directed. Ms. L. MacDonald confirmed that staff are
in the midst of addressing the request for a liaison and appropriate staff contacts in the areas referred
to by Ms. Thomson. Ms. MacDonald advised that the Minister has not received all of the information
required from GEG in order to deal with the Certificate of Approval and it was unknown when the
Minister could deal with the matter. Council requested that staff communicate with the Province to
request sufficient time be provided that would allow Council to deal with the Certificate in view of
Council's summer meeting schedule. Ms. MacDonald also advised that staff were reviewing records
to determine if any required demolition permits were applied for or granted. In respect to definition of
non-hazardous/non-toxic terms, she noted that these were being reviewed and that staff would advise
the residents group and City Council in this regard. Further, she confirmed that Council has
authorized soil testing on property adjacent to 90 Woodside Avenue and was securing a consultant
for this undertaking. Councillor G. Lorentz asked that staff intervene if GEG has not obtained
demolition permits for any structures on the site that have been removed.
Mr. Bill Proctor, Principal, Sandhills Public School, attended along with a delegation to express safety
concerns of area residents relating to a walkway which has been installed connecting Hidden Creek
directly to Victoria Street South in an area with no school crossing guard. He indicated that since
bringing this matter to the City's attention, he had received correspondence from Mr. L. Lynch who
was in agreement with the concerns and suggestions that had been made to rectify the matter. He
pointed out that this section of Victoria Street South did not have a sidewalk and consequently there
was no direct connection to the intersection at which a school crossing guard is located. Mr. Proctor
asked that a section of the walkway leading up to curb be removed and landscaping installed in its
place to provide a physical break with Victoria Street. Councillor C. Weylie agreed that the walkway
has created a dangerous situation and indicated that Mr. D. Mansell has assured her that a sidewalk
on the south side of Victoria Street South from Westforest Trail to Eastforest Trail would be built to
connect with the walkway. Mr. Proctor asked that the last two metres of the walkway be removed and
a temporary barrier be installed until further action could be taken. Mr. G. Stewart agreed to take all
appropriate action immediately to address the problem.
Mr. George Demetriou, owner of Felicity's Night Club, attended with respect to revoking of the liquor
licence for his business. He commented that he had repeatedly advised City Council the closing
hours by-law would hurt his business and complained that Council had ignored his previous requests
because they objected to his business. Mr. Demetriou advised that the actions of Council and the
Police have destroyed his business as well as his family life and commented that he always thought
Council had a duty to look after the interests of its citizens.
Ms. Lorna Ferguson attended representing the Kitchener Neighbourhood for Appropriate
Development group to advise of their support for Clause 7 of the Heritage Kitchener report dealing
with the Heritage Permit application submitted by Drewlo Holdings respecting 530-540 Queen Street
South. It was noted that the open house referred to in the Committee recommendation would be held

Council considered an e-mail dated June 12, 2002 from G. Melanson concerning Clause 18 of the
Committee report dealing with Council Policy resolution 1-650 (Demolition of Buildings for Public
Work). Mr. J. Shivas expressed concern that an optional course of action suggested in Mr.
Melanson's staff report was not discussed at the Committee meeting. He explained the notification
issue with respect to demolitions and asked that Section 2, as recommended in the staff report, be
included as part of Clause 18.
On motion by Councillor C. Weylie, seconded by Councillor B. Vrbanovic, it was agreed to amend
Clause 18 of the Development & Technical Services Committee report to incorporate the wording of
Section 2, as outlined in Corporate Services Department report CRPS-02-142, into the Council policy

COUNCIL MINUTES
JUNE 17, 2002 -238- CITY OF KITCHENER
Habitat for Humanity or Kitchener Housing might have an interest in the properties. Councillor
Lorentz noted that many of the property locations are terrible as to possible redevelopment for
residential uses and as an example he referred to property situate at the intersections of Fischer -
Hallman Road and McGarry Drive, and Westmount Road and Greenbrook Drive. It was his view the
entire matter should be referred back to staff for detailed review. Mr. J. Fielding concurred that staff
were willing to review this matter and develop some strategies for Council's consideration provided
there was no urgency that these properties be dealt with. Councillor B. Vrbanovic commented that
some of the former hydro -electric properties have been successfully redeveloped and Mr. J. Shivas
remarked on the time and effort that has been spent respecting the three properties listed in the staff
recommendation and specifically referred to the parties that have expressed an interest in acquiring
each of the sites. Concern was expressed that notwithstanding the interest of any given party to
acquire the subject lands, there was still the possibility the lands and building might sit vacant for
some years.
On motion by Councillor B. Vrbanovic, seconded by Councillor G. Lorentz, it was agreed that further
consideration of Clause 2 of the report be deferred and referred to the August 12, 2002 Finance and

Committee.
Clause 6 — Dealt with under Delegations and
Carried.
Clause 7 — Action deferred and referred to the

Kitchener costs were. He asked that this request be followed up with the Region for a response.

removal of affordable housing costs from the municipal tax base; and, clarification with respect to the

subject was now back in the hands of the working group.
Members of Council requested that they be added to the mailing list so as to receive a copy of the
Regional Council information circular which Mayor C. Zehr had referred to.
Councillor M. Galloway raised concern over parks/community trail dedication/development policies
suggesting they were inadequate and asked that park development strategies for the future be
considered. In response to Mayor C. Zehr, Mr. F. Pizzuto indicated a report on park dedication
policies had been done recently. Following further discussion, it was left with Messrs. F. Pizzuto and
G. Stewart to review rules and regulations with respect to the dedications and Councillor M. Galloway
was requested to outline the specifics of what he had in mind with respect to his request, all of which
could then be the subject of discussion at Council's July 2, 2002 meeting.
Council agreed to a request from Mr. G. Sosnoski, City Clerk, to add five by-laws to the agenda. The
