JANUARY 12, 2009 CITY OF KITCHENER
The Council of the City of Kitchener met this date with all members present.
The meeting began with the singing of "O Canada" by the 471St & 472"d Kitchener Brownies and the
25th & 26th Kitchener Guides.
On motion by Councillor J. Smola, the minutes of the regular meeting held December 8, 2008 and
special meetings held December 8, 2008 and January 5, 2009, as mailed to the Mayor and Councillors,
were accepted.
COMMUNICATIONS REFERRED DIRECTLY TO FILE -NIL
Ms. M. Wade, Heritage Planner, presented information in support of Clause 1 of the Heritage
Kitchener report, dealing with the proposed listing of 13 properties on the Municipal Heritage Register
(MHR) as non-designated properties of cultural heritage value or interest. The MHR is an official list
of cultural heritage properties identified as having importance to the community. A four-step process
has been established to consider placements on the list, including: evaluation of properties; short-
listing of properties; composition of Statement of Significance; review of short-listed properties by
Heritage Kitchener with recommendation to Council; and, final decision by Council. Ms. Wade stated
that when Council last considered this matter at its September 15, 2008 meeting, questions were
raised regarding a property owner's appeal rights in relation to listing; and, the process of notifying
current and future property owners. Ms. Wade advised that the Ontario Heritage Act does not
provide a mechanism to appeal Council's decision to list anon-designated property however Council
may reconsider and / or remove properties from the MHR at any time. In regard to notifying property
owners, she advised there are opportunities already in place such as: annual information mail out to
property owners and information distributed by registered mail to new property owners. Ms. Wade
added that correspondence, including a letter of explanation and documentation, such as a Statement
of Significance, was mailed to all owners of properties that are proposed for listing, as outlined in the
Heritage Kitchener report; with an invitation for those property owners to make comments to staff,
Heritage Kitchener and Council She stated that the majority of concerns expressed to staff relate to
a perception that listing would restrict the ability to undertaken alterations. She stated that staff
responded to each of these concerns outlining that listing on the MHR does not impose restrictions
with regards to obtaining approvals for alterations.
Mr. Peter loannidis, 144-150 King Street West, attended and expressed concerns regarding the
proposed listing of his property on the MHR. He noted that he does not feel that his property
warrants listing as most of its original features have been altered. He added that he is opposed to
any additional restrictions that may be placed on owners who have their properties listed on the MHR.
Ms. M. Wade reviewed the Statement of Significance for 144-150 King Street West, noting that the
building is an example of Classical Revival architectural style. She added that it contributes to the
continuity and character of the streetscape within the Downtown, as it forms part of the historic Berlin
Main Street. She confirmed that listing only increases the amount of time, up to 60 days, that the City
has to process a demolition application. In addition, staff may request a Heritage Impact Assessment
or a Conservation Plan with the submission of a Planning Act application for a listed property.
In response to questions regarding the possibility of registering a notice on title to indicate that a
property has been listed on the MHR, Ms. S. Williams advised that municipalities do not have the
authority under current legislation to place such a notice on title. At the request of Councillor J.
Gazzola, Ms. Williams agreed to report back with information as to the process that would need to be
followed to change the legislation to permit such a notice to be registered.
Moved by Councillor J. Gazzola
Seconded by Councillor G. Lorentz
"That the report of Heritage Kitchener be adopted."
Carried.
Mr. Paul Britton, MHBC Planning, attended in relation to Clause 7 of the Development and Technical
Services Committee report, expressing concern with the proposed deferral of the demolition control
application for 1941 Ottawa Street South. He stated that as he was unable to secure assurances
from staff that the zone change application for the subject property would proceed in February, he is

requesting that Council approve the demolition control application at this time. He added that the
property currently has a split zoning designation, with approximately half the site having R6 zoning
which would permit the development of townhouses. Given this, it is not a matter of whether the site
could be redeveloped, but rather an issue as to the scale of the redevelopment project. He noted that
no services are currently running to the vacant dwelling located on the site, which could pose a
potential liability risk.
Councillor K. Galloway advised that it continues to be her preference to have this matter deferred so
that it can be considered in conjunction with the zone change application. She stated that as there is
no certainty that the zone change would be approved, it would be premature to allow the demolition to
move forward before that issue is considered.
Councillor B. Vrbanovic expressed support for Mr. Britton's request, noting that redevelopment of the
site to some degree could go forward regardless of whether the zone change is approved. He added
that the original recommendation put forward by staff was to approve the demolition control
application. He stated that given this and the potential liability issues surrounding the dwelling, he
believes that Council should move forward with approving the Demolition Control Application. He
requested that in the future staff endeavour to have these kinds of inter-connected proposals come
forward at the same time.
On motion by Councillor K. Galloway, seconded by Councillor J. Smola, a recommendation to defer
consideration of Demolition Control Application DC08/20/O/LT was voted on and was Lost.
Moved by Councillor C. Weylie
Seconded by Councillor G. Lorentz
"That consideration of Demolition Control Application DC08/20/O/LT requesting permission to
demolish one (1) single detached dwelling located at 1941 Ottawa Street South, owned by
Deerfield Homes Ltd., legally described as Part Lot 46, GCT, be approved without conditions."
Carried.
Mr. Richard Pearce, resident, addressed Council regarding Clause 8 of the Development and
Technical Services Committee report which deals with zone change application for 72 St. Leger
Street. He requested that Council support the proposal put forward by staff at the January 5, 2009
Development and Technical Services Committee meeting to have 25% of the building used as retail
space on a 3-year temporary basis. This temporary period would provide an opportunity for the City
to monitor parking on the site to see if it is sufficient for 25% retail. He added that as part of this
compromise he is in favour of the fees being waived for the applicant over the 3-year period.
Councillor J. Smola spoke in support of moving forward with the zone change application at this time,
as opposed to spending three years monitoring the site. He added that as the site plan approval
process moves forward, the rear of the property would be cleaned, which should provide the
additional spaces required to accommodate the site's parking needs.
Moved by Councillor C. Weylie
Seconded by Councillor J. Gazzola
"That Clause 8 of the Development and Technical Services Committee report be adopted."
Carried.
Mr. L. Gordon, Director of Purchasing, was in attendance with respect to the tenders listed on the

Councillor J. Gazzola requested that Clauses 3 and 13 of the Development and Technical Services
Committee report be voted on separately. With regard to Clause 3, he questioned the necessity of
undertaking specific advertising for a grant program. He stated that he was not in support of Clause
13. He noted that while he could have supported increasing the amount of loan forgiveness offered
under the previous program, he was opposed to converting the loan program to a grant program.

Mayor C. Zehr advised that Councillors G. Lorentz and C. Weylie gave notice in accordance with
Chapter 25 of the Municipal Code, that they would introduce a motion regarding the meeting of
regional municipal representatives held on December 4, 2008 to discuss the Citizens for Better
Government report titled `Finding a Better Way', dated September 2008.
Moved by Councillor G. Lorentz
Seconded by Councillor C. Weylie
"WHEREAS the Citizens for Better Government, a citizens group whose purpose was to seek
and recommend a more effective governance model that will improve the communities in the
Region of Waterloo, submitted to the municipal Councils of the Region of Waterloo, including

of its citizens and businesses;
THEREFORE BE IT ENACTED that Council for the City of Kitchener supports further
discussion and investigation to develop a process whereby the municipalities of the Region of
Waterloo can work together in a positive and beneficial way to find operational efficiencies and
develop an effective governance model."
Councillor J. Gazzola advised that he was not in support of the proposed motion, noting that there are
other priorities that the City should be focusing on at this time.
Councillor B. Vrbanovic expressed support for the City participating in further discussions with area
municipalities to explore operational efficiencies, which may lead to the development of a more
effective government model.
COUNCIL MINUTES
JANUARY 12, 2009 - 9 - CITY OF KITCHENER
Councillor G. Lorentz stated that Council should continue to dialogue with its counterparts throughout
the Region on this matter to try and see what opportunities exist to enhance the service being
delivered to all area residents.
Mayor C. Zehr provided an example of the duplication of services that currently exists between the
area's two levels of government, noting that in certain instances it would be much easier to offer a
particular service if all the municipalities involved were working from the same comprehensive policy.
He expressed support for the statements made by Councillors Lorentz and Vrbanovic, adding that the
City should at least try to see what efficiencies could eventually be enacted.
Councillor Lorentz's motion was then Carried on a recorded vote.
In Favour: Mayor C. Zehr and Councillors J. Smola,
B. Vrbanovic, K. Galloway, G. Lorentz and C. Weylie.
Contra: Councillor J. Gazzola
Councillor J. Gazzola expressed concern with the process currently employed for the appointment of
members of Council to various boards and committees. He noted that with regard to the Kitchener

citizen appointments and suggested that a similar review be conducted of Council appointments.
