The Common Clerk advised that the necessary advertising was
completed with regard to (a) a proposed Municipal Plan amendment to redesignate on
Schedule 2-A, the Future Land Use Plan, a parcel of land containing an area of
approximately 330 acres and fronting on Highway 7 (Crane Mountain) at the
intersection of Highway 177, also being NBGIC Numbers 55087001, 55087027,
55043301,55043293 and portions of NBGIC Numbers 55086987 and 55087019, from
Rural to Heavy Industrial classification; (b) the proposed re-zoning of the same parcel
of land from "RF" Rural and "P" Park to "1-2" Heavy Industrial classification; and (c) a
proposed Zoning By-Law text amendment with respect to Section 630 to (i) delete the
words "subject to subsection (2)(e) & (f), municipal sanitary landfill" and insert the words
"subject to subsection (2)(e) & (h), a sanitary landfill", in subsection 630(1)(b); (ii) delete
the word "municipal" in subsection 630(2)(e); (iii) delete the words "a municipal sanitary
landfill" in subsection 630(2)(f); and (iv) add a new subsection 630(2)(h) to read as
follows: "(h) a sanitary landfill shall be enclosed by natural buffering and/or constructed
earth berms.", to (1) permit the development and use of the parcel of land for a sanitary
landfill facility, as well as possible recycling and composting facilities, for the Fundy
Region; (2) remove the reference to municipal ownership of a sanitary landfill in the "1-
2" Heavy Industrial zone; and (3) delete the requirement that a sanitary landfill in the "1-
2" Heavy Industrial zone be enclosed with a painted, solid fence, and replace it with a
requirement for natural buffering and/or constructed earth berms, as requested by
Fundy SWAT, and that 3{e) letters of objection have been received from Mrs. Mildred
Crawford, Julie Dingwell, Eric M. Smith, Melissa G. Carr, Jim & Beatty Stubbs, and
Norman Ferguson; and that letters have also been received from 3{f) PURE SJ with
respect to its initiation of a project to review and promote a solid waste alternative plan
(SWAP); M9.l the River Road Concerned Citizens Committee suggesting that, whereas
Council will grant Mr. Bill Artiss of Fundy SWAT the opportunity to address the issue of
85-236
COMMON COUNCIL
APRIL 18,1995
delay of the proceedings in Fundy SWAT's re-zoning application, third parties, such as
the River Road community residents as well as those from Lorneville, must be afforded
the same opportunity; and 3{h) the River Road Concerned Citizens Committee
concerning the Planning Advisory Committee's decision to refuse the Crane Mountain
re-zoning application.
3{d)
Consideration was also given to a report from the Planning Advisory
Committee submitting a copy of Planning staff's report considered at the Committee's
February 21 and March 29 meetings, as well as of presentations, briefs and a petition
submitted at the subject meetings and Fundy SWAT's letter in response to issues
raised at the February 21, 1995 meeting, and of additional letters and a petition
received by the Committee; advising of the details of its meetings with respect to the
subject application of Fundy SWAT; and recommending that the application be denied.
Mayor Higgins, referring to item 3(g) requesting to address Council on
Fundy SWAT's previous request to delay this public hearing, made the observation that
this would need eight affirmative votes of Council; and called for a motion to hear the
Fundy SWAT representative prior to the public hearing.
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Councillor Coughlan
RESOLVED that Mr. W. Artiss of
Fundy SWAT be invited to address Council at this time prior to the public hearing on
the above matter.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
Mr. W. Artiss, Chairman of Fundy SWAT, appeared before Council and
explained that, with regard to Fundy SWAT's letter to Council at its April 10 meeting
requesting postponement of this public hearing to give more time for Fundy SWAT to
prepare detailed information with respect to alternatives, Fundy SWAT would like time
to get more information regarding things raised in the public meetings, including other
sites that are already operating containment landfills that are alternatives and the
option of revising the idea of maximized recycling as a lot of things have happened with
respect to recycling and composting since Fundy SWAT set aside recycling, including
the idea of private sector operation in that Fundy SWAT had assumed that a
composting facility would be operated by others but that it would operate the recycling
facility and the landfill, and the possibility of private sector design, construction and
operation of the whole facility has recently been put forward. Mr. Artiss expressed the
view that a long-term contract to operate all of the facilities could result in savings that
could well make this affordable and, as well, provision of composting and recycling
would go a long way towards appeasing the critics by mitigating, if not eliminating, most
of the concerns about problems with respect to leachate, ground water and surface
water contamination, bears, gulls, coyotes, odour and so on and, to a large degree,
aesthetics; and advised that, about ten days ago, Fundy SWAT met with a developer
who is prepared to put forward a proposal in this regard for which Fundy SWAT
requires about six weeks; and requested that this scheduled public hearing be
cancelled and that it be re-advertised for some time in June in order for Fundy SWAT to
put forth a proposal based on the latest and best information available.
During discussion Mr. Artiss, in response to Council queries, explained
that the reference in Fundy SWAT's letter to alternatives relates to the option of taking
waste out of the region and the option of either of the Paddy's Hill or Crane Mountain
site with recycling and composting added; and Mr. Rodgers explained that, if the
application were withdrawn, then obviously Council would do nothing except approve
the withdrawal and a new application could be submitted at some point in the future,
and that, if a future application contains nothing different from what the Planning
Advisory Committee has given its views on already, the Committee would not have to
deal with the application; therefore, it is not an automatic situation that the Committee
would have to deal with a new application as that would depend on what the application
states; and advised that, as explained at the last Council meeting, the application can
be withdrawn
85-237
COMMON COUNCIL
APRIL 18,1995
but there is no provision for postponement of the public hearing, with the alternative to
that being a cancellation of this public hearing and a new date set for a public hearing
based on the current application.
The Mayor noted the request to address Council in item 3(g).
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Deputy Mayor McAlary
RESOLVED that Mr. David Bowen,
Chairman of the River Road Concerned Citizens Committee, be invited to address
Council at this time.
Councillor M. Vincent proposed a motion that the public hearing be held,
whereupon the motion on the floor was noted.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
Mr. David Bowen, Chairman of the River Road Concerned Citizens
Committee, expressed the view that, having already dealt with this issue at the
Planning Advisory Committee level and after attending the April 6 meeting of Fundy
SWAT, it appears clear that this request for delay by Mr. Artiss is a strategic move to
transfer the issue to the next Council as the discussion at the Fundy SWAT meeting
related to improved odds of the proposals being more likely to be accepted by the new
Council, and questioned the request for delay as the meeting did not vote to request
the delay, nor was there a quorum of representative members present to make a
decision. Mr. Bowen suggested that Fundy SWAT has considered the issues prior to
publication of its EIA report which was released to the public in early January 1995 and
has known since the EIA hearings of early February of the concerns by area residents
regarding alternative sites, additional waste management components and negative
impacts of the proposed sites which the residents deem unacceptable with or without
recycling at the proposed locations; and asked to proceed with the public hearing and
that, upon Council's refusal of the Fundy SWAT application, it is hoped that an
appropriate site means of waste management will be pursued. On behalf of Lorneville
residents, Mr. Bowen read a statement expressing the opinion that, as Fundy SWAT
has had six years to develop its arguments in favour of the current application and
Lorneville has lived too long with this uncertainty, a delay will do nothing but waste
valuable time and more money and that, if Fundy SWAT is really interested in pursuing
the alternatives, Common Council should let the people be heard now and a decision
be made now and, if approved, work on alternatives would not be needed and, if not
approved, Fundy SWAT could devote a hundred per cent of its efforts toward finding a
suitable alternative; and referring to section 910 of the Zoning By-Law dealing with
applications refused by Council on the basis that, if Council hears the application and
denies it, there is nothing stopping Fundy SWAT from coming back with a better
application within a year which would serve the public interest.
With respect to a question of reapplication should Council deny the
above application, Mr. Rodgers made the observation that, while it would be impossible
for him to say now what new conditions there might be in order to justify an application
under the section of the Zoning By-Law referenced by Mr. Bowen, Council should be
aware that, if the public hearing is cancelled, Council would be dealing with the current
application and would be restricted to whatever it allows Council to deal with at a
subsequent public hearing, and also that, if Council refuses to go ahead after a public
hearing with the re-zoning, the section takes effect with respect to the application not
being permitted back for one year unless there is new evidence or new conditions but,
overriding all of that, under the Zoning By-Law Council on its own initiative can start a
re-zoning process at any time it so wishes.
Councillor Knibb asked if a motion would be in order to which Mayor
Higgins replied in the negative on the basis of a letter from Mr. Frank J. Hogan (copies
of which were distributed to Council members at this meeting) requesting to address
Council, and asked for a motion to add the letter to the agenda and grant Mr. Hogan's
request.
85-238
COMMON COUNCIL
APRIL 18,1995
On motion of Councillor Coughlan
Seconded by Deputy Mayor McAlary
RESOLVED that the letter from Mr.
Frank J. Hogan of Hogan Law Office advising that he represents the Lorneville
Community & Recreation Association in the matter of two proposed sites for a sanitary
landfill - Martinon (Crane Mountain) and Paddy's Hill (Lorneville); expressing the
understanding that Fundy SWAT has requested a cancellation of the public hearing in
relation to a Municipal Plan amendment and re-zoning in this regard; and requesting to
address Council before a decision is made on a delay -- be added to the agenda of this
meeting, and that Council grant Mr. Hogan's request.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
Mr. Frank Hogan, legal counsel for the Lorneville Community &
Recreation Association, in addressing Council, made the observation that the
uncertainty the Lorneville community is experiencing is real; and suggested that, as
part of the terms of reference for the Provincial Environmental Impact Analysis was
supposed to be the identification and analysis of alternatives, this work should have
been done by now as it involved alternative sites as well as alternative technology,
such as a maximum recycling facility. Mr. Hogan expressed the opinion that there are
two issues before Council at this time, being the application in relation to two very
specific sites and the information concerning other alternatives such as a maximum
recycling facility, the latter which could, and may, be a part of any site regardless of
what site is chosen; and suggested that, as he does not view that these two issues are
connected, there is no reason why Common Council cannot proceed with the hearing
and, if the people cannot convince Council that these sites are entirely unacceptable,
both socially and environmentally, then Common Council can approve or deny the
application; and that, if the public hearing proceeds at this meeting and Common
Council refuses the application, there are things which have come up that could be part
of a new submission if Fundy SWAT were forced to deal with the alternatives. Mr.
Hogan expressed the view that, delaying this further with a set closure of the fall of
1996 for the Spruce Lake dump, would not do anything to advance the real exploration
of the alternatives, but what it would do is advance a self-fulfilling prophesy of why
there are no other answers or no other solutions than to locate the landfill at Crane
Mountain or in Lorneville which, in his opinion, would waste another several months
and another sum of money.
On motion of Councillor M. Vincent
Seconded by Deputy Mayor McAlary
RESOLVED that Common Council
proceed with the public hearing immediately.
Question being taken, the motion was lost with the Mayor and
Councillors Coughlan, Knibb, Trites and A. Vincent voting "nay".
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Councillor Coughlan
RESOLVED that the Tuesday, April 18,
1995 public hearing of the application of Fundy SWAT for Municipal Plan amendment
and re-zoning for a sanitary landfill site at Crane Mountain on Highway 7 at the
intersection of Highway 177, and a Zoning By-Law text amendment re Section 630, be
cancelled, and that the necessary advertising be authorized for a public hearing in this
regard on June 19, 1995 at 4:00 o'clock p.m.
Question being taken, the motion was carried with Deputy Mayor
McAlary and Councillors Rogers and M. Vincent voting "nay".
Following a brief recess, the Common Council meeting reconvened.

4. Mayor's Remarks
Mayor Higgins extended an invitation to Council and citizens to attend
Heritage Saint John's first annual meeting at the Aitken Bicentennial Exhibition Centre
on April 19; and extended a message of sympathy to the family of the late Mr.
Frederick Haycox, who passed away on April 12, the late Mr. Haycox having been
employed by the City of Saint John for 47 years as the first Sergeant-At-Mace to
Common Council in addition to his position as Executive Assistant.
Councillor Coughlan noted that the American Hockey League has
awarded Saint John the AHL All-Star Classic to be held in mid-January 1997; and
congratulated Mr. Jeff Perry on having been named the AHL CCM Man of the Year for
his contribution to the community and charitable functions during the 1994-95 hockey
season.
On motion of Councillor Coughlan
Seconded by Councillor M. Vincent
RESOLVED that the Common
Council of the City of Saint John extend congratulations to Saint John Flames member,
Mr. Jeff Perry, on having been named by the American Hockey League as the AHL
CCM Man of the Year.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
Councillor Rogers commented on the forthcoming visit to Saint John of
the St. Michael's Boys' Choir on April 26 and 27, and Councillor M. Vincent questioned
the placement of a trailer and outdoor facilities near a construction site on Midwood
Avenue, the latter on which Mr. Totten commented on the basis that it was brought to
his attention yesterday and, while he has not decided on a course of action at this time,
he intends to take the matter under advisement and look after it tomorrow.
*4A. Belledune Port Expansion
Consideration was given to a letter from Councillor A. Vincent asking for
Council's support for a resolution requesting a meeting with all MLAs of the area to
protest the expansion of the Belledune Port at the expense of the Saint John Port.
On motion of Councillor A. Vincent
Seconded by Councillor M. Vincent
RESOLVED that the Mayor and City
Manager request an emergency meeting with the Liberal Caucus of the area to discuss
and protest the expansion of the Belledune Port, and further that Council respectfully
notify MLA Elizabeth Weir of its intentions and solicit her support.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
5. Zoning By-Law Amendment
Pits & Quarries ZoninQ
85-240
COMMON COUNCIL
APRIL 18,1995
Consideration was given to a report from the City Manager referring to
the Pits and Quarries Aggregate Resource Strategy on which Council provided the
opportunity in May 1994 for anyone to comment, with feedback focused in two areas,
the need to improve enforcement of existing regulations with respect to trucking and
the operation of pits and quarries and the need for a zoning classification for pits and
quarries; commenting on the preparation of the proposed new zoning classification for
pits and quarries; and submitting a proposed Zoning By-Law text amendment in this
regard. The report advises that the proposed "PQ" Pits and Quarries zone is intended
to replace the existing Section 880 "Excavation of Land" of the Zoning By-Law as a
new zoning classification and any new application for a pit or quarry, as well as existing
pits and quarries, in the City will require a re-zoning to the new "PQ" zone; also advises
that, with regard to the request by the Citizens Committee and residents that Council
prohibit the development of new pits and quarries until such time as the new zone is
valid, it has been determined that the 21-30 day period for advertising the proposed
amendment and the requirement of Section 71 to initiate the advertising process within
14 days of Council adopting a prohibition, makes it impossible to meet the proposed
June 19 public hearing date of the proposed amendment and that, if Council wishes to
adopt a prohibition resolution, the public hearing date would be May 29, although the
use of a Section 71 resolution is not recommended; and recommends that Common
Council (1) set June 19, 1995 as the date of a public hearing and authorize
advertisement for the submitted Zoning By-Law amendment which would create a new
"PQ" Pits and Quarries zone, re-zone existing pits and quarries, and delete Section 880
of the Zoning By-Law; and (2) refer the amendment to the Planning Advisory
Committee for a report and recommendation.
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Councillor Rogers
RESOLVED that as recommended by the
City Manager, Common Council (1) set Tuesday, July 4, 1995 as the date of a public
hearing and authorize advertisement for the submitted Zoning By-Law amendment
which would create a new "PQ" Pits and Quarries zone, re-zone existing pits and
quarries, and delete Section 880 of the Zoning By-Law; and (2) refer the amendment to
the Planning Advisory Committee for a report and recommendation.
Councillor M. Vincent made the observation that Council, earlier in the
meeting set June 19 as the public hearing date for the Crane Mountain issue,
whereupon Mr. Totten recommended that the public hearing for the above-proposed
amendment be scheduled for July 4, and the initial motion to adopt the
recommendation in the above report was changed to reflect the public hearing date
change.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
(Mayor Higgins withdrew from the meeting whereupon Deputy Mayor
McAlary assumed the chair.)
6. Tender For Groundwater TestinQ
On motion of Councillor M. Vincent
Seconded by Councillor Knibb
RESOLVED that as recommended by the
City Manager, the tender of SGS Canada Inc., Saint John, be accepted for the

Question being taken, the motion was carried.

10. Cedar Point Estates Limited
SewaQe PumpinQ Station
On motion of Councillor Rogers
Seconded by Councillor Knibb
RESOLVED that as recommended by the
City Manager, (1) the City agree to cost share the installation of the necessary sewage
pumping station in Phase 7, Cedar Point Estates Subdivision, as per Schedule B, Table

be established as a fee per lot for future phases of Cedar Point Estates Subdivision; (4)

Seconded by Deputy Mayor McAlary

Charles Street residents about the plowing service and parking tickets issued this past
winter, the Traffic Engineer agrees that making the south side of Charles Street no
85-242
COMMON COUNCIL
APRIL 18,1995
parking at any time and making the north side of the street parking for residential permit
holders only would be appropriate; and recommending that the submitted amendment
to
the Traffic By-Law be given first and second readings and referred to the Legal
Department for appropriate action -- be received and filed and the recommendation
adopted:
AND FURTHER that the by-law entitled, "A By-Law To Amend A By-Law

12. CCO April 10 Inviting The Market
Square Corporation To Address Council
Consideration was given to a report from the City Solicitor commenting
on Common Council resolution of April 10 inviting The Market Square Corporation to
attend a meeting of Council in open session to present all factors relating to the
Harbour Station development project on the basis that, although Harbour Station is
substantially complete and operational, there remains some outstanding issues to be
resolved between the City and the contractor which relate generally to claims by the
contractor for payment beyond that certified by the consultant and to some items which
the consultant has identified as deficiencies in the work of the contractor or its
subcontractors that have yet to be remedied; explaining why, in his opinion, a public
discussion of the technical and legal aspects of the outstanding issues at this juncture
would be inappropriate and could adversely prejudice the ability of The Market Square
Corporation to achieve a resolution which is equitable and fair to the City; and
recommending that a public discussion between Council and the Corporation regarding
any outstanding matters relating to the construction of the Harbour Station complex not
be conducted at this time.
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Deputy Mayor McAlary
RESOLVED that the above report
from the City Solicitor be received and filed and Council delay any further discussion
between The Market Square Corporation and the Council in public session.
Question being taken, the motion was carried with Councillor A. Vincent
