Fairway Rd./Morrison Rd./Waterbend Cres. ~~~E~~.E~:T,~,RE, Ls~a~ i ,~ ~" I~ 1~1 ~- ~h~=~~ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Valley View Heights ~St. Jacobs) Limited has submitted a modification request to add a 0.2 hectare parcel of land legally described as Block 71, 58M-387 into the plan boundary of 30T-03201. Block 71 is a "Future Development" block that forms part of Plan 30T- 00205 (now registered as 58M-387 & 388) and is located on the west side of Waterbend Crescent at the terminus of proposed Beaumont Street in Plan 30T-03201. DTS-07-143 (addendum to DTS-07-117) 2 Condition 4.24 of the Subdivision Agreement for Plan 58M-387 and 58M-388 requires that Block 71 be consolidated with Plan 30T-03201. The purpose of consolidating Block 71 was to accommodate the Beaumont Street connection with Waterbend Crescent. However, through the circulation, the Planning Department received a lot of public opposition, particularly from residents of Waterbend Crescent, who would be directly affected by the road connection. At the public meeting held on August 13, 2007, the resident's stated they were not in favour of a road extension but rather a walkway. As a result, Development and Technical Services Committee recommended "deferral" to the Council meeting of August 26, 2007 in order to give the developer the opportunity to incorporate a walkway into the draft plan. The Committee also asked staff to review the possibility of an enhanced walkway incorporating landscaping and decorative lighting, at the residence's request. Since the August 13t" public meeting, Valley View Heights has revised the plan so that the road connection is no longer required. Instead a 7.5 metre wide straight walkway connecting Beaumont Crescent with Waterbend Crescent has been incorporated, as shown on the attached draft plan. Although Planning staff would prefer that the road connection remain as originally planned, staff are satisfied that the walkway meets the intent of the Urban Design Guidelines policy regarding "connectivity". The modified plan was circulated to departments, agencies and all property owners within 120 metres. RECOMMENDATION A. That the request made by Valley View Heights (St. Jacobs} Limited to modify Subdivision Draft Plan 30T-03201 to add a 0.2 hectare parcel of land, legally described as Block 71, 58M-387, to the plan boundary, be approved, in the form shown on attached Plan of Subdivision, revised August 21, 2007.

The following is required for registration and under The Registry Act and for our use: One (1) original mylar Four (4) mylar copies Four (4) white paper prints REPORT Valley View Heights ~St. Jacobs) Limited has submitted a modification request to add a 0.2 hectare parcel of land legally described as Block 71, 58M-387 into the plan boundary of 30T-03201. Block 71 is currently zoned Residential Three ~R-3) with special regulation provision 175R minimum lot width of 12 metres). There is no change proposed to the zoning. The purpose of adding Block 71 is so that the developer can fulfill his obligation to consolidate this block with plan 30T-03201 (as per Condition 4.24 of plan 58M-387 and 58M-388) with the intent of extending Beaumont Crescent to Waterbend Crescent. However, as a result of community concerns, the developer has agreed not to go ahead with the road extension but rather connect the two plans with a 7.5 metre wide public walkway. While Planning staff would prefer a road connection as originally planned, by providing a walkway staff are of the opinion that the intent of the City's Urban Design Guidelines policy regarding connectivity is still being achieved. To facilitate the changes made to the draft plan, a number of changes to the conditions of draft approval has occurred. They are follows: Condition 1 - Land Use Schedule revised to include four new lots and the lotting out of the semi -detached units and revised plan date of August 21, 2007. Condition 2.1 -reflects the revised plan date of August 21, 2007. Condition 3.21- reflects the revised block numbers for the walkway blocks. Condition 6.15 - park block number has been revised. Condition 6.18 - lot addition block number has been revised. Condition 6.19 -multiple family block number has been revised. Condition 2.2.11- block numbers for lotless blocks have been revised. Condition 2.2.13 -park block number revised. Condition 2.2.14 -entrance feature block number revised Condition 2.2.16 - block numbers revised. DTS-07-143 (addendum to DTS-07-117) 1S Condition 6.20 -new condition that speaks to providing black vinyl fencing. Region of Waterloo Condition 6 -reflects revised block numbering. No other modifications are required at this time. SERVICING Full municipal services will be provided. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS No major municipal expenditures are required for the development. COMMUNICATION: The proposal to modify the draft plan of subdivision application was circulated to departments and agencies on July 5, 2007, and to property owners within 120 metres of the subject lands on July 9, 2007. As a result of the circulation, the department received considerable resident opposition including a petition from the residents of Waterbend Crescent. Many of these residents were also present at the public meeting of August 13, 2007 expressing their displeasure with the proposal. As a result, the developer, Valley View Heights, has agreed not to proceed with the road extension and has altered the plan to include a walkway connecting Waterbend Crescent with Beaumont Crescent as shown on the attached plan. The walkway will be 7.5 metres wide which is larger than the standard 6 metre wide. As directed by Development and Technical Services Committee, staff have reviewed the resident's request for an enhanced design of the walkway ~e.g. landscaping and lighting), which goes well beyond the standard sidewalk and post and wire fencing. Having reviewed the matter, staff are of the opinion that the 7.5 metre wide walkway is not sufficiently wide enough to incorporate landscaping and lighting. Moreover, there are other issues that come into play here such Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, lighting intrusion into rear yards and bedroom windows and financial implications of maintaining enhanced walkways, which require further discussion and analysis. Accordingly, staff do not see the merits of an enhanced walkway and recommend the City standard of a sidewalk and post and wire fencing. Staff have, however, asked the developer to provide black vinyl fencing as opposed to the standard galvanized as an upgrade. This is an added cost to the developer which he has agreed to do so. Condition 6.20 speaks to this. CONCLUSION: Block 71, 58M-387 was registered as a future development block to be consolidated with Plan 30T-03201 for the sole purpose of extending Beaumont Street to Waterbend Crescent. At the public meeting held at the August 13th DTS meeting, area residents expressed their displeasure with this proposal and asked for a walkway instead. The developer has agreed to this proposal and has amended his draft plan accordingly. Planning staff would prefer the road connection but are satisfied that the walkway does DTS-07-143 (addendum to DTS-07-117) 16 provide for connectivity between both plans thereby meeting the intent of the Urban Design Guidelines policy regarding connectivity. Therefore staff support the recommendation to add Block 71 into the boundary of 30T- 03201 and modifications to the draft approval. Brian Bateman, BA (Hons.)
