(a) Munieipal Plan Amendment And (b) Re-ZoninQ 120-124 Adelaide Street The Common Clerk advised that the necessary advertising was completed with regard to (a) a proposed Municipal Plan amendment, as amended by the North End Neighbourhood Plan, to redesignate on Schedule 2-A, the Future Land Use Plan, the property at 120-124 Adelaide Street (NBGIC Number 371484), having an area of approximately 3,000 square feet, from Medium Density Residential to Mixed Use (Residential and Commercial) classification; and (b) the proposed re-zoning of the same property from "RM-1" Three-Storey Multiple Residential to "B-1" Local Business classification, to permit a ground floor office for a contracting business, apartments and a rear addition for equipment storage related to the business, as requested by Mr. Patrick Hickey of Hickey Property Management, and that 7.{d) a letter from Miss Margaret E.F. Farren and a petition have been received in opposition to the proposed amendments. 7.{e) Consideration was given to a report from the Planning Advisory Committee submitting a copy of the Planning Department's report and letters, including a petition, considered by the Committee at its May 30 meeting at which the applicant expressed concern regarding the suggested Section 39 condition relating to overnight parking of commercial vehicles and several presentations were made by area residents, including one by a spokesperson for the North End Residents Business Association, dealing primarily with the impact of the proposed addition to the existing on-street parking for the area; however, the request for re-zoning was generally supported by the area residents; advising that further discussion is expected regarding an appropriate addition to the existing building for storage and any addition would require the Committee's approval and involve notification to the surrounding property owners; and recommending that Common Council (1) redesignate on Schedule 2-A of the Municipal Development Plan, as amended by the North End Neighbourhood Plan, a property located at 120-124 Adelaide Street, also identified as NBGIC Number 371484, 85-308 COMMON COUNCIL JUNE 5, 1985 from Medium Density Residential to Mixed Use (Residential and Commercial) classification; and (2) re-zone the same property from "RM-1" Three-Storey Multiple Residential to "B-1" Local Business classification, subject to a resolution pursuant to Section 39 of the Community Planning Act setting out the following conditions:- (a) that no commercial vehicles are stored overnight on the subject property; (b) that no business activities other than an office and related storage area are permitted on the subject property pertaining to the contracting business; and (c) that any addition to the existing building be limited to one (1) storey in height, and be constructed in accordance with a detailed site plan, subject to the approval of the Development Officer. Mr. Randall Hatfield, solicitor, appeared in opposition to the above- proposed amendments on behalf of Ms. Irene Porter and Ms. Frances MacAfee, owners of a parcel of land adjacent to that of the applicant; and explained that, at the Planning Advisory Committee meeting on May 30, his clients' objection to the applicant's proposal was based on the proposed addition to the applicant's structure which would interfere with the right of access enjoyed continuously by Ms. Porter, Ms. MacAfee and family members for over 40 years, and a right-of-way, contained in their deed and recognized in the applicant's deed, would be denied or, at the very least, interfere with traffic, posing several safety questions, and that he indicated at the May 30 meeting that his clients approved of the Planning staff recommendation to the Committee for approval of a Municipal Plan amendment and re-zoning subject to several Section 39 conditions and against granting any variances, which would have defeated the proposed structure. Mr. Hatfield advised that he has been instructed to, at this meeting, oppose outright the applicant's proposal based on Ms. Porter and Ms. MacAfee's opposition relevant to the following reasons:- (1) an emerging neighbourhood consensus with respect to the appropriate use for Adelaide Street and the impact of a Plan amendment and re-zoning on parking in the area; (2) the applicant's request to the Planning Advisory Committee meeting on May 30 that the Section 39 condition dealing with overnight parking be removed, which raises the spectre of a parking problem which his clients' are trying to avoid, as well as the spectre of a continuing number of applications for a variance and a denial is a certainty that his clients want for the area; and (3) reports of existing conflicts over the question of access and parking that the applicant is experiencing on the West Side. Mr. Hatfield, in summarizing, expressed his clients' opinion that the integrity of the neighbourhood, the issues of parking, access, safety and their concerns over the certainty of these matters in the future, can best be met by denying this application. Ms. Laurel Cormier addressed Council, as the Public Relations Chair of the North End Residents and Business Association, in opposition to the above proposal on the basis that the proposed "B-1" zoning would provide a rather large canopy under which numerous types of businesses, including Mr. Hickey's, could apply, and the location of the property in question is totally unsuited for the type of re-zoning requested as there is already heavy vehicular traffic in the area making it difficult to access Adelaide Street from Newman Street, increased traffic would make a sharp curve directly across from 219 Newman Street even more dangerous, and any extra parking on that very busy corner would congest an already overburdened area. Ms. Cormier expressed the opinion that the increased business and possibly the storage of building materials would heighten the parking problem, and cause concern to pedestrian traffic, particularly children and senior citizens; and would greatly increase the danger of accidents, particularly in the winter months, and as there is only one sidewalk in the subject area. Ms. Cormier advised that many of the persons who signed the above-mentioned petition are members of the Association who feel that their quality of life and safety is being challenged by the proposal, and that the Association's concerns are with these residents and for the safety of the citizens in the community at large and, as this particular part of the North End is heavily trafficked, the Association can see real problems if the proposal should be granted. Mrs. Margaret Freill of 217 Newman Street spoke in opposition to the proposal as the owner of the property abutting the back of the property in question; advised that her husband spoke at the Planning Advisory Committee meeting in this regard; and, having noted that there is already a business in place in the subject building and the structure has always had a business there, advised that she has no problem with the owner changing the nature of the business, although the proposal is asking for a structural change which would diminish parking. Mrs. Freill also advised 85-309 COMMON COUNCIL JUNE 5, 1985 that, as the sidewalk on Newman Street does not continue down into the parking lot at the mall, people approaching Newman Street toward Adelaide Street do not realize that there is a sidewalk and come up the centre of the street, nor is the Newman Street sidewalk plowed in the winter months. Mrs. Freill asked if the lack of details in the proposal means that a by-law change is wanted so that whatever the applicant can put in can be put in after; and expressed concern about the possible infringement on her property of the proposed addition to the building, and the effect of the proposed addition on the right-of-way that has always existed for properties in the area, as well as on the accessibility of emergency services. Mrs. Freill questioned the type of traffic associated with a construction business and what will be stored on the subject site; and asked the necessity of coming into a residential area to re-zone for a business of this nature when there are many vacant industrially-zoned properties in the City; and, in re- iterating that she does not have a problem with a business being on the subject property, advised that she does have a problem with these major changes that are being asked requested. Mr. Patrick Hickey, appearing in support of his application, advised that he is the owner of the property in question, as well as owner of a share of the construction company he is trying to place on the ground floor of it; and commented on the non-conforming use of the property over the years. Mr. Hickey also advised that he has accepted the Planning Advisory Committee's proposal to not build the addition at this time and is only requesting the zoning change. Mr. Hickey, in response to Council queries, advised that it would be necessary to make an alternate arrangement to store one vehicle, although there is ample off-street parking available, including 4 spaces along the side of the property as well as an approximate 30 by 30 foot area at the rear of the property where the proposed addition was supposed to go of which there is a right-of-way to the property next door at the rear of the property, and beyond that there is ample off-street available at this property, and advised that vehicles associated with the proposed construction business would not be left on the property over night and, because in the construction business the work would be carried out on various sites through the City, they would not be parked in the 4 parking spaces throughout the day and, while they would be back and forth to the office during the day, for the most part these vehicles would be off-site. Mr. Hickey confirmed that the present tenant's renewal of the lease in the subject building would necessitate, in order to carry on with his plans, the new building proposed, although, if unable to build a new building, he would have to look some place else for an office and the tenant would stay; and explained that, as he could foresee that there would be some parking problems on the street if the addition went ahead as proposed, this is the reason he has decided at this time not to pursue the addition but just to request the zoning change and that the zoning change on its own still allows ample off-street parking for the business proposal, and also that, if the present tenant renews his lease and he wants to build the addition should the re-zoning be approved, he would possibly come back with a reduced scope on a new building and proceed from there. With respect to access, Mr. Hickey advised that his deed gives the property next door an alley way, not necessarily a driveway; and, in response to Councillor Fitzpatrick as to whether or not, in view of Mr. Hickey's indication that he would not be proceeding with the addition to the building, he would agree with a change in the above-recommended Section 39 conditions to the effect that there would be no addition to the present building at the present time, which would necessitate reapplying for the addition, Mr. Hickey expressed the understanding that he would have to apply again should he wish to put an addition on the building, and that he would have no problem with that, and added that he does have a problem with condition (a) on the basis that, without the addition on the property, there is ample off-street parking. Mr. Baird explained that, if the Planning Advisory Committee's recommendation is adopted, Mr. Hickey would be required to apply through the Committee for a number of variances; however, if Council adopted an amended recommendation as suggested by Councillor Fitzpatrick, the applicant would have to go through the public hearing process, so it is a question of who would make the decision with respect to an addition. Mr. Hickey made the observation that, as to whether or not he has given full consideration to a proposal that seems to upset a very comfortable neighbourhood situation and if he would concede that the addition would cause some difficulty for the neighbours, the property in question has run a business for several years and has already conceded that the addition is oversized and that is why he is withdrawing it. 85-310 COMMON COUNCIL JUNE 5, 1985 On motion of Councillor Vincent Seconded by Councillor Knibb RESOLVED that the application of Mr. Patrick Hickey, Hickey Property Management, for a Municipal Plan amendment and re- zoning of property at 120-124 Adelaide Street be denied. Question being taken, the motion was carried with Councillor Fitzpatrick voting "nay". 8. Street Closing By-Law Amendment Portion Of Ravnes Avenue The Common Clerk advised that the necessary advertising was completed with regard to the proposed closing of a portion of Raynes Avenue and that no written objections were received in this regard. On motion of Councillor Knibb Seconded by Councillor Vincent RESOLVED that the by-law entitled, "A By-Law to Amend a By-Law Respecting The Stopping Up And Closing Of Highways In The City Of Saint John", with regard to closing a portion of Raynes Avenue, be read a first time. Question being taken, the motion was carried. Read a first time the by-law entitled, "A By-Law to Amend a By-Law Respecting The Stopping Up And Closing Of Highways In The City Of Saint John". On motion of Councillor Knibb Seconded by Councillor Brown RESOLVED that the by-law entitled, "A By-Law to Amend a By-Law Respecting The Stopping Up And Closing Of Highways In The City Of Saint John", with regard to closing a portion of Raynes Avenue, be read a second time. Question being taken, the motion was carried. Read a second time the by-law entitled, "A By-Law to Amend a By-Law Respecting The Stopping Up And Closing Of Highways In The City Of Saint John". 9. Paul Melntyre - Building Permit Lot 63 Lakewood Avenue Extension Mr. Paul Mcintyre, referring to a previously-submitted brief, addressed Council on behalf of him and his wife, Natalie, on the City's denial to them, in May 1995, of a building permit for construction of their new home on Lot 63 Lakewood Avenue Extension, and to request Council's consideration in granting a building permit to them. Mr. Mcintyre advised that, as indicated on the copy of a 1969 subdivision plan submitted with their brief, the lot in question is on a City-owned street in an approved, registered subdivision; and, referring to section 40(1) of the Zoning By-Law and a policy adopted by Council on March 18, 1985, noted that the former makes reference to the opinion of Council and to provision of supply of streets, not a paved road, and the latter seem to support them in indicating that a person does not have to upgrade the street if it does not create drainage or traffic problems. Mr. Mcintyre asked Council to pass a motion, pursuant to section 40(1), in that there is an adequate provision for the supply of a street such that they should be granted a building permit. A motion was proposed by Councillor Trites and seconded by Councillor 85-311 COMMON COUNCIL JUNE 5, 1985 Knibb to refer the above matter to the City Manager for a report at the next meeting of Council with a view to making the construction of the home happen, whereupon the Mayor suggested that the City Manager would like to comment at this time in this regard. Mr. Totten made the observation that the Mcintyre's are requesting Council's support for a decision to recognize that the subject lot is suitable for development and, if Council passed such a motion, the Building Inspector would issue a permit.

Question being taken, the motion was carried. 10. Stephen R. Cronk - Mark Drive Mr. Stephen R. Cronk addressed Council on the subject of Mark Drive based on (1) the existing conditions relevant to the heavy volume of traffic, the lack of stop signs and traffic lights, the large number of trucks, the use of this residential street as a direct route to businesses, the excessive speed of traffic well in excess of the 50 kilometres per hour posted which poses a danger to pedestrians, and the present state of sidewalks, curbing, road surface and lines; (2) the zoning and current use in that, in his opinion, there is a need for a ban on all further re-zoning and for recognition of the necessity of an alternate route to alleviate traffic problems; and (3) the impact on the residential area and the effect on traffic patterns future development would have. Mr. Cronk made reference to the Planning Advisory Committee's recent approval of conditions for a bowling alley as a permitted use on Mark Drive, which is the subject of the Committee's report to Council at this meeting under item 23 and his previous presentation to Council on a proposed re-zoning of property in the area.

Proposal - Publie Address System Couneil Chamber Consideration was given to a report from the City Manager advising that the existing public address system in the Council Chamber, being 15 years old and obsolete, is no longer repairable and therefore no longer meets the needs of the City of Saint John, and that NB Tel, the supplier of the original equipment, has put forth a proposal, which includes a bid from Atlantic Alarm, that would see the existing system replaced at a minimum cost to the City and allow NB Tel to completely retire from the public address system business as the primary supplier would be Atlantic Alarm; also advising that this is an unplanned expenditure of $33,273.15, including installation and less taxes, borne out of a necessity to keep the public informed through Cable 10, the news media or in person, at each meeting, and that comparable systems recently installed in other municipalities have cost in the area of $45,000 to $50,000; and recommending acceptance of the proposal. On motion of Councillor Knibb 85-316 COMMON COUNCIL JUNE 5, 1985 Seconded by Councillor Trites RESOLVED that as recommended by the City Manager, Council accept the proposal of NB Tel to have Atlantic Alarm Systems Ltd. supply and install a new public address system in the Common Council Chamber, in the amount of $33,273.15 (taxes included). Mr. Totten made the observation that the above recommendation is the result, not of a public tendering process but, of an unsolicited proposal presented to City staff as a result of ongoing discussions with NB Tel for three or four months, the thrust of these discussions having been directed to finding a solution to the public address system in the Council Chamber in that for 15 years NB Tel has been supplying the maintenance and providing the City with advice in this regard; and explained that, as a result of it having come to staff's attention that the entire system needs to be replaced and of NB Tel's commitment to the City of Saint John in view of trying to assist in a solution, NB Tel has gone to a third party and brought to the City the proposal as outlined in the above report and, while it is recognized that this is a different method of operating from what the City is normally used to doing, staff is satisfied, from discussion with NB Tel and through discussion with the City's Purchasing Agent, that it is in the best interest of the taxpayers to move in the direction recommended, as well as in the best interest of Council in its ability to communicate to the public through its meetings in the Council Chamber to address the public address system as there seems to be repeated complaints about it. Deputy Mayor Chase questioned the components of the proposed system and involvement of other local companies in the bid process, to which Mr. Logan explained the manner in which NB Tel, having recognized the need for a new system and being willing to bear the cost of $10,689.30 for repairs carried out in 1995, arrived at a proposal it considers the absolute best and most economical for the City of Saint John, and how the system would operate. Question being taken, the motion was carried. 22. City Market By-Law Amendment For City Market To Open Julv 1 Consideration was given to a report from the City Manager advising that the City Market Tenants Association has requested that the City Market be opened on Canada Day, Saturday, July 1, with those tenants who wish to remain closed able to do so by securing their stall and providing their own security, and that, as July 1 is a statutory holiday and statutory holidays are not "Market Days" as governed by the City Market By-Law, a By-Law amendment is required; and recommending that Common Council give first and second readings to the submitted By-Law amendment. On motion of Councillor Knibb Seconded by Councillor Trites RESOLVED that the by-law to amend the City Market By-Law, with respect to the July 1, 1995 Canada Day opening, be read a first time.

The Mayor suggested that, as Mr. Patrick Riley, representing the Hatheway Trust, has indicated to her that a public meeting has not yet been held, the City should wait to hear from the Labour representatives before setting up a public meeting; and noted that no lease agreement has been signed by the City. Councillor Gould suggested that the letters should be tabled for consideration with other letters of objection during presentations from that area, whereupon Councillor Knibb concurred with tabling the letters and requesting the City Manager to arrange a meeting with the residents and the Labour Temple representatives in an attempt to work something out with the citizens. Councillor Trites questioned the process in that Council, by resolution, has authorized the execution of an agreement for the labour temple, where the City stands on the route now being followed and the effect of the resolution; and asked what would happen should the representatives of the Hatheway Trust indicate their readiness to sign the agreement, to which Mr. Rodgers replied that the process, if the lease document is prepared containing the provisions approved by Council and is put before the Clerk and the Mayor, the resolution is on the record for the document to be executed after his approval as to legality and form if it complies with the resolution passed; and made the observation that, while the City Manager might wish to comment on where in the process the actual document is, no further authority is required to complete the process.
