5(a) Zoning By-law Amendment To
Re-Zone 475 Latimore Lake Road
The Common Clerk advised that the necessary advertising was
completed with regard to the proposed re-zoning of a parcel of land located at 475
Latimore Lake Road (portions of PID Numbers 335034,327106 and 421727), from "RS-
1M" One and Two Family and Mobile Home Suburban Residential and "RS-1" One and
Two Family Suburban Residential to "PQ" Pits and Quarries classification, to permit a
gravel pit, as requested by Fundy Bay Sand & Gravel Inc., and the following was
received in this regard: 5{c) letters of objection were received from Gail Gray and
Terrance Gray, a letter of concern from School District 8, and three letters from Margaret
Dubee, one in opposition to the proposal, the other two on the Pits and Quarries By-law,
and 5{d) a report from the City Manager submitting a letter from Jerome Langille, owner
of the existing gravel pit at 460 Latimore Lake Road, which was received subsequent to
the Planning Advisory Committee's public hearing, further clarifying his position with
respect to his proposal to the Committee to the effect that he would agree to rehabilitate
approximately 54 acres (90% of area disturbed) of his pit at 460 Latimore Lake Road,
leave a 6:t-acre area at the very back of the working pit for future use, have the 54 acres
rehabilitated no later than 4 years from the date of Common Council re-zoning 475
Latimore Lake Road to the new "PQ" zone with rehabilitation to commence from the
front of the pit working southward towards the rear of the pit, and to not disturb areas
after they have been rehabilitated to conduct "PQ" zone activities (i.e. crushing).
5{b)
Consideration was also given to a report from the Planning Advisory
Committee submitting a copy of Planning staff's report, three letters in favour of the
proposal and fifteen letters in opposition considered at the Committee's April 9, 2002
meeting at which Stephen Langille, on behalf of the applicant, expressed agreement with
the staff recommendation and indicated that his father, the owner of the existing gravel
pit at 460 Latimore Lake Road, was willing to undertake a phase-out and rehabilitation of
the existing pit over the next few years, except for a five-acre portion at the rear that they
would like to retain for aggregate extraction and would be willing to enter into an
agreement with the City if the proposed new pit were approved, and a number of
concerned citizens attended the meeting in opposition to the proposal, several of whom
indicated that they did not want the new pit to be approved unless the existing pit at 460
Latimore Lake Road was completely closed down, rehabilitated and re-zoned out of the
"PQ" zone, and also that the Committee, in its review, had a copy of the letter from
Lafarge Canada Inc. that was submitted as part of the re-zoning application in support of
the proposal. The report advises that the Committee granted the requested variances
for reduced setbacks of portions of the pit area and access road, and recommends that
Common Council (1) re-zone a parcel of land located at 475 Latimore Lake Road,
having an area of approximately 40 hectares, also identified as being portions of PID
Numbers 335034,327106 and 421727, from "RS-1M" One and Two Family and Mobile
Home Suburban Residential and "RS-1" One and Two Family Suburban Residential to
89-39
COMMON COUNCIL
APRIL 15, 2002
"PQ" Pits and Quarries classification; (2) authorize the preparation and execution of an
agreement between the City and Jerome Langille, pursuant to Section 101 of the
Community Planning Act, requiring that the existing gravel pit located at 460 Latimore
Lake Road (PID Number 334565) be rehabilitated over a four-year period; (3) not give
third reading to the re-zoning of 475 Latimore Lake Road until the above-mentioned
Section 101 agreement is executed; and (4) give serious consideration to the installation
of wider shoulders along Latimore Lake Road.
Eleanor Golding of 640 Latimore Lake Road advised her opposition to the
proposed re-zoning because her basement has flooded, her septic tank cannot be used,
and half her lawn has gone from water coming from up back and from the pit as there is
nothing to stop the water from coming down, and expressed the view that no more
gravel pits were needed unless the mess was cleaned up.
Margaret Dubee of 1330 Grandview Avenue, appearing in opposition to
the proposed amendment as Co-Chair of the Residents Committee on the Pits and
Quarries By-law as well as on her own behalf living handy the subject area, expressed
concern that Planning staff would make recommendations to the Planning Advisory
Committee on variances to the setback requirements when the re-zoning has not been
granted and, if it were, there was no way of telling if the applicant would abide by the
new Pits and Quarries By-law which has only been in effect a year, and also the
Residents Committee has not yet had an opportunity to work on amendments to the By-
law. Ms. Dubee, referring to various section of Planning staff's report, expressed the
view that Council should have the Provincial guidelines on operating standards with
respect to dust, noise, etc., and reclamation security and rehabilitation requirements in
order to approval the re-zoning rather than after, and also that the added traffic and size
of the trucks travelling through the area, if this proposal were approved, should be of
concern to the Police Force; and commented on the residential nature and quality of life
of the area in question and the possibility of residents relocating with the addition of pits;
and expressed concern about the safety of children, with more waiting for buses with the
closure of the Latimore Lake School, in view of the condition of the Road and sidewalks
along only a small portion of it. Ms. Dubee made the observation that there was no
guarantee that the old pit at 460 Latimore Lake Road would ever close down and, while
the residents have been waiting for twenty-five years for residential properties to be
developed there, there would be a very slim chance of anyone wanting to build out front,
with gravel trucks driving by and blowing sand and gravel, if the back portion of the pit
remained open; expressed concern about safety with trucks coming out at the same time
across the Road from both 460 and 475 Latimore Lake Road at the brow of a hill; and
suggested that Mr. Langille should move his caretaker's trailer from 460 to 475 Latimore
Lake Road and also that, as the City did not have the money to create wider shoulders
along Latimore Lake Road, Mr. Langille could improve the portion in front of his own
property. Ms. Dubee advised her concern that, with the size of the applicant's property
and if he worked from the back to the front of it, it could be that there would be pits
starting at Eldersley Avenue going two and a half miles down Latimore Lake Road
almost to Hickey Road; expressed the view that, if the re-zoning were allowed, a proper
berm should be put in place at the front of the subject property where there is currently a
sand berm from which dust blows across the area; and asked Council to turn down the
proposal for the quality of life of residents in, and the appearance of, the area.
In responding to questions, Ms. Dubee advised that Latimore Lake
residents met with Mr. Langille on the above issue at which time they advised him that, if
he would agree to completely close 460 Latimore Lake Road and rehabilitate it, they
would be prepared to see something open up across the Road, and the Mayor related
the contents of the letter from the owner of the 460 Latimore Lake Road property as
submitted by the City Manager under agenda item 5(d).
Odette McGrath of 31 Lackie Road, spokesperson for the Latimore Lake
and Area Residents Association, spoke in opposition to the application to re-zone 475
Latimore Lake Road, referring to various sections and comments in Planning staff's
report, and expressed the view that the variances recommended by staff were
unreasonable, and agreed with the proponent, if the re-zoning were approved, being
required to make application to the Department of Environment and Local Government
for a certificate of approval to operate. Ms. McGrath expressed concern that residents
would be driven away from the area because they did not have the slightest idea of what
the City of Saint John had in store for the Latimore Lake area, as well as about
additional flooding and septic tank problems in the area due to watercourse alteration,
and a more dangerous situation than before with more children waiting for buses along a
89-40
COMMON COUNCIL
APRIL 15, 2002
road with no shoulders and a sidewalk on only one side of a portion of it; and noted the
need for measures to be taken to prevent dust and noise from the operation. Ms.
McGrath advised the residents' view that the existing pit at 460 Latimore Lake Road
should be closed, rehabilitated and re-zoned back to residential before allowing another
pit at 475 Latimore Lake Road to open and, if the approach were to rehabilitate
approximately 50 acres and have 16 acres remain open as stated, the residents would
want this in writing from the owner with a timeframe of no more than two years, as a
compromise so the Company could get to its resources in exchange for the closure of
the pit that is depleted; and commented on the concern that, if the pit at 460 Latimore
Lake Road were not closed down and re-zoned, it could be used again for secondary
uses, such as crushing, stockpiling and storage. Ms. McGrath questioned why
rehabilitation of the subject site had not been carried out when the temporary permit for
its operation had run out, as well as when the activities of Fundy Bay Holdings Ltd. were
expected to wind down and the property developed for residential purposes in that the
residents had heard statements in the past about pits being closed and it has not
happened, referencing the indication that 460 Latimore Lake Road still has valuable
sand deposits, and, in terms of the description of gravel as an important community
resource that should not be wasted, asked the importance of the residents and who
would protect their quality of life. Ms. McGrath also advised of a concern about truck
traffic going back and forth across the Road between the subject site and the existing pit
at 460 Latimore Lake Road, if the latter did not close and equipment were stored there;
and presented slides of aerial views of the Latimore Lake Road area from 1970 through
2002, noting changes in the amount of trees and number of gravel pits, the subject
property, the 460 Latimore Lake Road site and junk yards, as well as children on both
sides of Latimore Lake Road; and presented a video taken in 1999 to illustrate the
condition of Latimore Lake Road, truck traffic in the area and noise associated with a
gravel pit operation. Ms. McGrath noted her appearances before Council over the last
four years to express the residents' concerns, distributed to the Council members a copy
of her property tax assessment on the basis that, if everybody in the City received the
kind of discount she did because of gravel pits in their area, the City would be in an even
worse financial state, and requested Council to reject the application until further
concessions could be made by the operator and the new By-law was enforced.
Terrance Gray of 19 Nicolle Road, a member of the Latimore Lake and
Area Residents Association, spoke in opposition to the proposed re-zoning, addressing
rural areas in general and Latimore Lake in particular, outlining amenities of a rural life
style and commenting on what residents did not want in their neighbourhood. Mr. Gray
also addressed the property tax issue and how residents living around pits and quarries
should be encouraged to appeal their property taxes for sizeable reductions, and
advised of calculations based on the amount of taxes paid in the Latimore Lake Road
area from the corner of Hickey Road to Eldersley Avenue and all side roads, which
indicated that in Latimore Lake alone, property owners paid approximately $293,936.30
and the pits in the area pay only $8,213.51 and, if everybody in Latimore Lake appealed
their property taxes and received a 30% reduction, the amount would be $87,936.30;
and noted that, if residents in other areas around gravel pits and quarries did the same
thing, the City would be facing a devastating loss of tax dollars. Mr. Gray asked Council
to deny the re-zoning until some of the pits in the Latimore Lake area were closed.
Following a five-minute recess, the Mayor reconvened the meeting.
Stephen Langille of 1319 Main Street, Hampton, addressed Council on
behalf of Fundy Bay Sand & Gravel Inc., through a three-part computer-aided
presentation including (1) an overview of the industry, (2) Fundy Bay Holdings' history
and (3) the specifics of the re-zoning of 475 Latimore Lake Road; and, with regard to (1)
referenced the recommendation in the Province's report on its study of aggregate
reserves in the area between Blagdon near Welsford in 1994 at the time of the City's Pits
and Quarries Strategy that Council would need to protect reserves of gravel for the
future and to approve new licences for operators in need of gravel reserves to continue
their businesses; commented on the difference between quarry rock and pit rock, as well
as the status of other pits in the City in terms of being closed, licenced but depleted of
gravel and with gravel deposits, and pointed out rehabilitated areas of the City which
were formerly pits. Concerning (2), Mr. Langille apprised Council of the Company's
background, number of employees and jobs, as well as the status of its pits, and its
history in terms of accidents involving its trucks and its hours of operation, advised that
the Company operated its pit at 460 Latimore Lake Road according to the rules of the
day and developed it with the idea of residential development in the future; and related
information on the Company's purchase of the subject property and events subsequent
89-41
COMMON COUNCIL
APRIL 15, 2002
to that in terms of re-zoning and temporary permit applications and meetings with City
staff and a City-organized mediator Cathy Hayward and Latimore Lake residents leading
up to the present application for re-zoning. Dealing with (3), Mr. Langille referenced an
aerial view of the subject site owned by Fundy Bay Sand & Gravel Inc. as well as the pit
at 460 Latimore Lake Road, the intact tree buffer of 150 metres along the front and side
between the proposed excavation site and the six homes abutting the site, and the area
which the Province in its study identified as being the only area outside of St. Martins
that has primary quality aggregates; advised that the prevailing wind direction was ideal
for gravel extraction at the subject location and also the site could not be seen from
Latimore Lake Road, and commented on the distances of the proposed site from
neighbouring properties, as well as the setback variances, noting the letter from LaFarge
in the latter regard. Mr. Langille advised that, with regard to the concern about the
driveways at 460 and 475 Latimore Lake Road being opposite each other, if it were the
wish of Council and the Committee, he would have no objection to changing the
entrance to 460 Latimore Lake Road; and gave reasons for the Latimore Lake Road
location being a logical place for new extraction operations, including its proximity to
East Saint John's growing commercial and industrial sectors and the economic and
environmental benefits associated with trucking distances. Mr. Langille, in dealing with
objections to the proposed re-zoning, advised that the property at 640 Latimore Lake
Road was uphill from his Company's site, so no water could possibly go from its pit to
Mrs. Golding's property, and also that, if the residents wanted berms built in front of the
pit so they could not see in, he would have no objection to that, nor did he have a
problem with changing the entrance to further up the street so that they would not be
opposite each other; disputed the argument with respect to increased truck traffic in that
his trucks for the last two years have sat in the yard, as well as the suggestion that there
would be more children waiting for buses in that students were currently being bused
approximately 1000 or 1200 feet to the Latimore Lake School and in any event his
Company has not had a problem with running into people or getting into accidents in 26
years there; and noted the remoteness of the area at 460 Latimore Lake Road that the
Company wanted to keep, and the use for sand.
As to whether or not Mr. Langille could commit to rehabilitating 460
Latimore Lake Road over two rather than four years, Mr. Langille advised that, while he
would like to have it done earlier, he did not know what the market demand would be
and he would like to finish emptying the sand deposit out before committing to closing
the property down permanently, noting the commitment to rehabilitate 90% of the 6-acre
operating area of the pit so the residents would not be getting dust blowing off the sand
bank and, once rehabilitated, to not use it for pit and quarry activities; and responded to
suggestions on a compromise between what the residents wanted and the applicant's
proposal. As to whether or not, if Council tabled the matter for three weeks and asked
the City Manager to appoint Deputy City Manager as a facilitator, Mr. Langille would be
willing to sit down with Mr. Woods and the residents in this regard, Mr. Langille indicated
in the affirmative.
On motion of Councillor Trites
Seconded by Councillor Court
RESOLVED that the above matter be laid on
the table for three weeks, and referred to the City Manager to appoint the Deputy City
Manager to facilitate in this regard.
Question being taken, the tabling motion was carried.
The Mayor asked the residents to advise Mr. Woods who would be
representing them in the above regard.
The Mayor, noting the presence at the meeting of people with items on
the Council agenda, asked Council to consider at this time items 33 and 34, as well as
the City Manager's report under agenda item 20 on which a group of citizens was
present.
33. Paul & Stacy Coyle - Request To Address
Council Re FloodinQ On Honevsuckle Drive
89-42
COMMON COUNCIL
APRIL 15, 2002
The Mayor noted that, as indicated at the April 8, 2002 Council meeting in
dealing with Paul and Stacy Coyle's previous request to speak, Council was awaiting a
report from the City's insurer; and expressed the understanding that the insurer's report
would be coming to Council, probably in Legal Session, next week and Council would
like to hear that report before hearing from anybody else. The Mayor advised that she
was given the information from the City Manager indicating that any costs for issues
involved in this would be paid by the City's insurer; and called for a motion to the effect
that Council would not hear from anybody until it had the report from the City's insurer.
On motion of Councillor Titus
Seconded by Councillor Court
RESOLVED that, with regard to the letter
from Paul and Stacy Coyle once again asking to speak during open session of Council
on April 15, 2002 about flooding on Honeysuckle Drive, they be advised that Council
would not hear from them until the City's insurers report has been received.
Mr. Nugent expressed the view that the appropriate course of action for
Council to take in the above regard was to handle it in the fashion as described by the
Mayor.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
34. Arthur Melanson - Residential Parking
And Snow Removal Study
On motion of Councillor Fitzpatrick
Seconded by Councillor Ball
RESOLVED that the letter from Arthur J.
Melanson commenting on the Parking Commission's recommendation regarding snow
removal, street cleaning and emergency vehicle; and suggesting that a ban that allows
for parking on one side of the street only during winter months should be considered
and, as for parking in the Uptown Saint John area, it would send a more positive
message if the City allowed for a by-law that supported residency parking from 7 a.m. to
5 p.m. only at no penalty cost to the residents; and advising that he does not object to
the Residential Permit Program as such but he does object to accepting the Parking
Commission's proposal of extending it as required without a polling of residents, be
referred to the Saint John Parking Commission.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
20. Soil Remediation - Spruce Lake
Read a report from the City Manager advising that, on November 12,
2001, staff became aware of a fuel oil spill in the compound of the Spruce Lake water
treatment plant where approximately 100 gallons of domestic furnace oil had leaked into
the ground from the furnace oil tank located next to the caretaker residence, and on
November 13 exterior cleanup commenced with excavation of all contaminated soil
below the tank location and removal for remediation under the direction of an NBDOE
site inspector and, at the inspector's recommendation, Jacques Whitford Environmental
Limited was hired to manage the site and remediation in the role of site professional
consultants to further investigate the extent of the contamination and provide a site
evaluation report based on risk-based screening level criteria (related to the long-term
impact on this site) and, as a result of soil sampling around and below the structure, it
was determined that there is fuel oil in moderate concentrations remaining below the
foundation and floor of the residence structure in the sub-surface soil. The report also
advises that, as in accordance with Provincial guidelines it must be demonstrated that
this contamination is manageable or remediable and there is low risk of migration into
the water table and no present or future risk to human health, several options were
explored, with the option of internal excavation of the floor and export of the
contaminated soil below having been chosen as the most diligent and economical one,
and Jacques Whitford Environmental Limited has submitted a maximum upset cost
estimate of $34,700 plus HST to complete this, this cost being in addition to actual
contractor fees for civil work to remove contaminated soil as well as soil remediation
charges.
On motion of Deputy Mayor White
89-43
COMMON COUNCIL
APRIL 15, 2002
Seconded by Councillor Ball
RESOLVED that as recommended by the City
Manager, Common Council approve the engagement of Jacques Whitford
Environmental Limited to complete the site management for the remediation plan at the
Spruce Lake water treatment plant, in accordance with the New Brunswick Department
of Local Government and Environment Guideline for the Management of Contaminated
Sites.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
