which will provide a collector road loop to Westforest Trail. The subdivision will provide for the
development of approximately 125 detached dwellings along with parkland / open space,
walkways and greenbelt. In this regard, the Committee considered Development and Technical
Services Department report DTS-02-242 dated November 8, 2002 and a proposed by-law dated
October 25, 2002 attached to the report.
It was pointed out that notice that the Committee would hold a public meeting this date to consider
this matter had previously been given.
Mr. B. Sloan summarized the purpose of the report and also commented on construction traffic
issues, requirement for a temporary exemption from the emergency access policy, and requested
that recommendation C 2.2.10 pertaining to parkland dedication be deleted and replaced with a
revised condition which was circulated to the Committee. He advised that a delegation was in
attendance with respect to the issue of tree preservation affecting lots 67 to 70 and that staff had
requested the applicant provide a detailed vegetation plan. Mr. Sloan also provided details
regarding other exemptions that are required with respect to emergency access policy.
Mr. Ron Gimbel attended to express concern regarding the impact on an existing woodlot that
development of lots 67 to 70 would have. He provided an overhead illustration pointing out that
only 1/3 of the trees would remain if the lots were developed as proposed. In this regard, he
suggested that more trees could be preserved on the north side of Ivy Lane Court through a lotting
change which would reduce 5 lots (lots 67 to 71) to 3 lots, with each extending from Westmeadow
Drive. This would result in the existing woodlot being left generally intact rather than having only a
strip of trees remain at the rear of the proposed lots. Mr. B. Sloan advised that a few combinations
had been considered in respect to lotting and tree saving measures.
Mr. Tom Hardacre, Planning and Engineering Initiatives Limited, advised that his client could
consider Mr. Gimbel's request but noted that there were other factors affecting tree preservation
such as the engineering impact that development of the road would have on the woodlot.
No other delegations were registered respecting this matter.
On motion by Councillor B. Vrbanovic -
it was resolved:
"That consideration of the following staff recommendation outlined in Development
and Technical Services Department report DTS-02-242, including a requested
revision to C 2.2.10, be deferred and referred to the December 9, 2002 Council
meetinq in order to allow the applicant to review impacts of a request to preserve
more trees in an existing woodlot on the north side of Ivy Lane Court through a
lotting change which would reduce 5 lots (Lots 67-71) to 3 lots, with each extending
from Westmeadow Drive:
That the request submitted by the applicant for Plan of Subdivision 30T-01202
(Sunvest Development Corp.) for exemption from Council Policy 1-652, Emergency
and Secondary Access Policy to allow a cul-de-sac (Winding Meadow Court) to be
330 metres in length with an emergency access rather than a second road access
until such time as Westmeadow Drive is extended west through the adjacent Plan of
Subdivision 30T-02205 and to allow Westmeadow Drive (temporary cul-de-sac) and
Ivy Lane Court to be developed further than 150 metres from an emergency access
until such time as Westmeadow Drive is extended west through the adjacent Plan of
Subdivision 30T-02205, be approved.

PRESENTATION - PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Mr. Larry Lynch and Mr. Eric Saunderson, City of Kitchener, and Mr. Fred Stephenson and Ms.
Agnieszka Bevan, Stantec Engineering, attended to provide an overhead slide presentation of the
City's Pavement Management System for 2002. A copy of the presentation was also circulated to
Committee members.
A joint presentation was made by the delegation. A pavement management system was defined
as the application of computer based software which uses field data for qualitative assessments
on a defined road network. The system can be used to store road network data, monitor
pavement deterioration and predict future performance, assess rehabilitation needs and prioritize
rehabilitation work based on defined budgets. Details on data collection and various performance
indicators were discussed. It was noted that pavement management systems require periodic re-
evaluation and adjustments in order to remain effective and new approaches taken in 2002 were
described.
PRESENTATION - PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (CONT'D)
Budget scenarios in relation to road maintenance levels and impact on future costs and pavement
life cycles were presented. The cost / benefit of more or less up front road investment funding and
long term effects was raised. Mayor C. Zehr questioned if a business case could be made for

investing additional funds earlier to achieve savings in the long run. Questions were raised as to
what amount of additional road expenditures would be required to raise the level of the pavement
quality index by various points from the level the index would otherwise be at by the end of the 10
year capital forecast in the year 2012.
Mr. J. Fielding advised that staff would address this question and report back for the 2003 budget
deliberations.

ADDENDUM TO REPORT DTS-02-260
STAGING OF DEVELOPMENT REPORT, 2003 - POST 2004
The Committee was in receipt of Development and Technical Services Department report DTS-02-
260 (Staging of Development Report, 2003 - Post 2004) and addendum report DTS-02-261 dated
November 22, 2002 containing revisions that have been incorporated into the staging report. It
was noted in the staging report that it sets out the municipal intention toward the scheduling and
processing of plans of subdivision for residential, industrial and commercial development.
Mr. B. Sloan commented on the report and advised of the 5 new parcels of land that had been
included being #86, 87, 89, 90 and 91 on the map of staging as attached to the report. He advised
that in 2003 that there were approximately 10 plans that could be considered for draft approval.
He commented on the requests for advancement that had been received and noted that staff were
unable to support most of them based on the guidelines that he itemized. It was pointed out that
there was approximately a 2 year supply of lots for single detached dwellings currently available in
registered plans.
Mr. Sloan also remarked on a comment contained in report DTS-02-261 under the financial
implications section. He advised that this comment was being revised as a result of
correspondence dated December 2, 2002 received from Mr. G. Bromberg, President of the
Waterloo Region Homebuilders Association and in this regard circulated a memorandum dated
December 2, 2002 from G. Stewart and J. Willmer outlining revised wording with respect to the
financial implications section of the report.
Councillor C. Weylie referred to a letter dated November 28, 2002 received from Mr. R. Hardie
who was acting on behalf of 1071745 Ontario Limited with respect to the property in the Highland
West community listed as site #8 on the staging report. Mr. Sloan commented on Mr. Hardie's
request for advancement from priority C to priority A in 2003.
Mr. Steve Vogel attended respecting the staging report as it relates to the limitations established
by the Region of Waterloo on development in Bridgeport East as a result of the Bridge Street Area
Transportation Plan which he stated has been shown to be factually incorrect. He noted that small
developers in Bridgeport East had been shut out and predicted any update on the transportation
plan would take so long that the current freeze on development would be effectively left in place
and finally questioned where the system failed. Mr. J. Willmer commented that the system had not
failed pointing out that the City had participated in the Region's Bridgeport study and since then,
the results of the study have been upheld and recently the Region put a freeze on development in
Bridgeport East.
No other delegations were registered respecting this matter.
On motion by Mayor C. Zehr -
it was resolved:
"That the Staging of Development Report 2003-Post 2004 (DTS-02-260-PL) including
timing revisions recommended in addendum report DTS-02-261 be approved; and further,

The Committee was advised that a subdivision application, condominium application and zone
change application had been received from Edmund Farrage with respect to a parcel of land 0.753
hectares known municipally as 33 Old Country Drive. It was noted in the staff report that the plan
of subdivision proposes to create 20 individually owned lots to be developed with townhouse units
that front onto a private road and that the plan of condominium provides for the lots to be linked to
the 'common element' condominium (private road) as Parcels of Tied Lands. The rezoning
application provides for the proposed street townhouses to front onto a private road, a reduction in
the side and rear yard requirements and an increase in lot coverage through a special regulation.
In this regard, the Committee considered Development and Technical Services Department report
DTS-02-254 dated November 18, 2002 and a proposed by-law dated November 21, 2002
attached to the report.
The Committee was also in receipt of report DTS-02-276 dated December 2, 2002 prepared as an
addendum to report DTS-02-254 which requests the conditions listed under Regional Municipality
of Waterloo conditions (B 3) be deleted and replaced with a revised condition contained in the
addendum report. As well, the addendum report requests that the maps of subdivision and
condominium dated September 23, 2002 be replaced with maps dated December 2, 2002
attached to the addendum report and that these date revisions be referenced in recommendations
B 1 and C 1 of report DTS-02-254.
It was pointed out that notice that the Committee would hold a public meeting this date to consider
this matter had previously been given.
Mr. J. Willmer briefly described the purpose of the two reports and advised that staff had nothing
further to add.
Mr. Tom Hardacre, Planning and Engineering Initiatives, attended on behalf of the applicant to
indicate support of the recommendations in the two staff reports.
No other delegations were registered respecting this matter.
On motion by Councillor J. Gazzola -
it was resolved:
That Zone Change Application ZC 02/31/O/CB (33 Old Country Drive - Edmund
Farrage) for the purpose of changing the zoning from Residential Six Zone (R-6)
with Special Regulation Provision 292R to Residential Six Zone (R-6) with a revised
Special Regulation Provision 292R, on lands legally described as Part of Block 293

It is the responsibility of the owner of the lands subject to this draft plan to
advise the Regional Municipality of Waterloo and the City of Kitchener
Department of Development and Technical Services of any changes in
ownership, agent, address and phone number.
Fees
The owner/developer is advised that the City of Kitchener and the Regional
Municipality of Waterloo have adopted by-laws, pursuant to Section 69 of the
Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990 c. P.13, to prescribe a tariff of fees for application,
recirculation, draft approval, modification to draft approval and registration
release of plans of subdivision.
Planning Act Applicability

and finally disposed of under the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13, as
amended by S.C. 1996, c.4 (Bill 20).
Regional Servicing Agreement
The owner/developer is advised that draft approval is not a commitment by
The Regional Municipality of Waterloo to water and wastewater servicing
capacity. To ensure this commitment the owner/developer must enter into an
"Agreement for Servicing" with The Regional Municipality of Waterloo by
requesting that the Region's Planning and Culture Department initiate
preparation of the agreement. When sufficient capacity is confirmed by the
Region's Commissioner of Engineering to service the density as defined by
the plan to be registered, the owner/developer will be offered an "Agreement
for Servicing". This agreement will be time limited, define the servicing
commitment by density and use. Should the "Agreement for Servicing" expire
prior to plan registration, a new agreement will be required.
The owner/developer is to provide the Regional Municipality of Waterloo with
two print copies of the proposed plan to be registered along with the written
request for a servicing agreement.

of Planning and Culture to the City of Kitchener prior to year end, it is the
responsibility of the owner to ensure that all fees have been paid, that all
Regional conditions have been satisfied and the required clearance letters,
agreements, prints of plan to be registered, and any other required
information or approvals have been deposited with the Regional Planner
responsible for the file, no later than December 15 th. Regional staff can not

:l-he Committee was advised of a City initiated zone change application with respect to adding a
definition for snow disposal sites to Zoning By-law 85-1. In this regard, the Committee considered
Development and Technical Services Department report DTS-02-253 dated November 22, 2002
and a proposed by-law dated November 26, 2002 attached to the report.
It was pointed out that notice that the Committee would hold a public meeting this date to consider
this matter had previously been given.
The Committee was also in receipt of Corporate Services Department report CRPS-02-276 dated
November 27, 2002 prepared by S. Turner and J. Koppeser pertaining to proposed amendments
to the Municipal Code regarding snow disposal sites. Attached to the report was a proposed by-
law to license snow disposal sites. This report had inadvertently been advertised for consideration
by the Finance and Corporate Services Committee at 2:00 p.m. this date. However, no one
appeared at that meeting and the report was referred to the Development and Technical Services
Committee for consideration along with staff report DTS-02-253.

was their view that zoning alone did not address Council's concerns respecting the snow disposal
issue and consequently staff had engaged property standards and licensing officials pertaining to
this matter. In reference to the zoning he advised that staff had narrowed possible sites down and
after factoring other criteria had found that there was no ideal spot in the City in which to use the
zoning by-law to address concerns. He advised that as an interim approach staff had developed a
definition of snow disposal site to be added to the zoning by-law and were recommending further
investigation be undertaken as outlined in the staff report for completion by the fall of 2003.
Mr. S. Turner, Director of Enforcement, attended to briefly summarize the content of report CRPS-
02-276.
Mr. J. Willmer suggested that if staff could address any complaints regarding snow disposal sites
through enforcement of property standards and licensing regulations, it would not be necessary to
enforce the zoning by-law provisions.
No delegations were registered respecting this matter.
On motion by Councillor M. Galloway -
it was resolved:
"That Zone Change Application ZC 02/40/TC/CB (City Initiated), to add a definition for
"Snow Disposal Sites" to Section 4.2 (Definitions) of Zoning By-law 85-1 be approved in the
form shown in the Proposed By-law, dated November 26, 2002. Adding this definition will
permit snow disposal sites:
a)
b)
In Downtown Zones (D-1 and D-2) without the need for a zone change.
In other zones subject to approval of a site specific zone change.
It is the opinion of this Committee that approval of this application is proper planning for the
City.
- and -
That staff be directed to investigate a more comprehensive approach to regulating snow
disposal by private contractors, through the generation of site specific criteria for snow
disposal sites, to be completed by the Fall of 2003, including the possibility of providing
additional City-operated snow disposal sites.
- and -
That staff be directed to prepare a by-law for Council's consideration at the December 9,
2002, Council meeting to licence Snow Disposal Sites, based on the proposed by-law
dated November 28, 2002, attached to Finance and Corporate Services Report CRPS-02-
276.
- and -
12.
That staff be directed to prepare a by-law for Council's consideration at the December 9,
2002, Council meeting to amend the Municipal Code, Chapter 665 (Property Standards), to
define a snow disposal site and a snow storage site and to regulate the storage of snow on
these sites to limit safety hazards and the adverse impact on adjacent lands."
