Subject: ENDORSEMENT OF REVISED CONDITIONS OF DRAFT
APPROVAL FOR DRAFT PLAN OF SUBDIVISION 30T-07205
FISCHER HALLMAN ROAD /HURON ROAD
BECKER ESTATES INC.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the proposed conditions of draft approval for Subdivision 30T-07205 appended to
Development and Technical Services Report 09-140, replace those appended to
Development and Technical Services Report 09-133.
BACKGROUND:
This report recommends revised wording of the Conditions of Draft Approval for the Becker
Estates Plan of Subdivision 30T-07205 that were originally presented to Development and
Technical Services Committee in DTS Report 09-133.
REPORT:
The subject application has been appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board and staff have
been working with the applicant to reach agreement on the conditions of approval in advance
of an Ontario Municipal Board hearing. The conditions of approval were brought to DTS
Committee on September 14, 2009 (DTS 09-133).
At the DTS meeting concerns were raised by the applicant with respect to three of the City`s
conditions. Since the DTS meeting staff have continued discussions with the applicant and
have reached consensus on these matters. Condition 2.2.32 has maintained the same
wording as was originally presented to DTS Committee. Condition 2.1.6.28 has been
reworded to help clarify the intent and scope of the condition. In addition both, the Region of
Waterloo and the Waterloo Catholic District School Board have provided clarification on the
wording on their respective clearance conditions.
Condition 2.1.6.23, with respect to the implementation of the ultimate solution for the closure
of Plains Road, has been included with the wording as presented to DTS Committee,
however, staff anticipate that revised wording for this condition may be provided directly to
members of Council at the Council Meeting of September 21, 2009.
The entire set of Conditions of Draft Approval are attached to this report, and staff
recommend that they replace the set of Conditions attached to DTS 09-133. All conditions to
which changes have been made or are anticipated to be made are shown in bold. No further
changes are required to either the proposed Zoning By-law or the proposed Official Plan
Amendment as a result of this recommendation.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no financial implications associated with this recommendation which have not
been provided for in existing budgets.

complete the construction of each commemoration park in accordance with the
agreed specifications for such commemoration park, noting that the agreed
specifications must respect the monies available to pay, with the completion of
the same in accordance with the relevant provisions of the attached

written consent of the SUBDIVIDER with respect to the surplus Developer
Contribution or of the CITY with respect to the surplus City Contribution.

occupancy of the associated Stage. Any and all construction costs of the park
(including grading, top soiling, seeding ,sodding, installation of playground
equipment, landscaping, seating and signage) in accordance with the approved
park design shall be paid for by the SUBDIVIDER and the applicable construction
costs, such as playground equipment, landscaping and trail surface treatments,
shall be reimbursed to the SUBDIVIDER as applicable.
If sufficient money is not allocated from the appropriate CITY Department Charge
Account(s) to permit the CITY to fund the construction of the neighbourhood
parks or if the works are not a Development Change eligible expense and the
SUBDIVIDER wishes to proceed with the construction of any such parks prior to
such time as money is allocated from the appropriate CITY Department Charge
or other Account(s), the SUBDIVIDER agrees to provide and up-front the cost of
these works.
Should these works with respect to any such parks become Development
Charge eligible, the CITY agrees to recognize any monies paid by the
SUBDIVIDER for any works or services normally paid out of the CITY'S
Development Charge Account with such monies to be refunded or to be
recognized as a credit towards any CITY Development Charge payable for any
lot or block within the lands subject to Application 30T-07205 in accordance with
the applicable CITY Development Charge By-law and Policies in effect at the
time the monies are paid by the SUBDIVIDER or the works become a
Development Charge eligible expense, whichever shall be later.
A Supplementary Agreement identifying each lot or block for which credits are
payable shall be registered for each Stage prior to the registration of each Stage
until there is no outstanding balance remaining.
If, following the registration of all Stages and issuance of all building permits,
there is any outstanding credit balance, it shall remain with the lands to be used
as a credit for future development, or alternatively, the CITY may enter into an
agreement with the Subdivider, under Section 40 of the Development Charges
Act, to enable the transfer of Development Charge credits to other benefitting
