During discussions/negotiations a number of improvements to the building's general performance were requested by the City. Terms of cost sharing and the two parties' individual responsibilities respecting these improvements were negotiated. The purpose of this report is to inform Council that certain expenditures were made pursuant to the negotiations which require Councils' approval. In particular, a new emergency power generator was purchased to ensure that power would be provided to critical operations within City Hall during emergency situations and power outages, (see attached). The cost of the new generator, which has been installed on the 3rd level of the rear parking structure, was approximately $250,000. The City's share of this expenditure was $85,000 + HST. The building owner financed the remainder of the cost of purchase, installation, and building retrofit. 32 -2- RECOMMENDATION The Commissioner of Finance has advised City staff that this is an expenditure, irrespective of the lease negotiations, that must be approved by Council, therefore, your City Manager recommends that Council approve an expenditure in the amount of $96,050.00, payable to Ashford Properties Inc., as the City's share in the purchase and installation of a new emergency generator for City Hall.

This is a 12 year old farm style tractor that is assigned to the Leisure Services Department. This tractor, when purchased, will come with a number of attachments which will make it more versatile and usable 12 months of the year. In the summer the bucket attachment will allow it to be used as a small loader for topsoil and sand. The PTO drive allows for various attachments such as a spreader or a mower to be used. As well, in the whiter this unit will be used to plow snow with a tilt angle blade and to remove snow, with a snow blower attachment, from various locations and facilities such as Ice Rinks and Community Centres. ANALYSIS: This public tender call was advertised in accordance with the City's Procurement Policy, ie on the City's Home page and was directly communicated to 14 potential bidders via WinFax. Notwithstanding this only one company chose to submit a bid for the supply of this item. It is unclear why such was the case, however it is not unusual for suppliers of this type of equipment not to compete in a public tender process. Staffs from Leisure Services and Materials and Fleet Management have reviewed the tender submitted by Hall Bros Limited for a 2009 Kubota Model B3030HSDC farm style tractor and have found the bid to be complete in every regard. 35 Page Two FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Admittedly staff does not purchase this type of equipment very often and as a result the original estimate for the purchase of this tractor was $56,500.00, tax included. The actual total cost to purchase a new 2009 Kubota farm style tractor c/w attachments, as bid by Hall Bros Ltd, is $36,665.00, plus tax ($41,431.45 tax included). This is a planned expenditure and as such finds to cover the cost of a new 2009 Kubota farm style tractor are available in the Fleet Replacement Budget. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the tender submitted by Hall Bros. Ltd., for the supply of one only 2009 Kubota Model B3030HSDC farm style tractor c/w attachments, in the amount of $36,665.00 plus tax, be accepted. Respectfully submitted, David J.

This project is necessitated in part because of the age of the ice slabs, Charles Gorman - 35 years, LBR - 49 years, and in part because of recent failures, shut downs and emergency repairs. ANALYSIS: Three companies chose to participate in this proposal call by submitting bids. They included, MCW Maricor Moncton, N.B. ADI Ltd. Saint John, N.B. Fundy Engineering & Saint John, N.B. Consulting Ltd. 37 Page Two ANALYSIS....Cont'd; In keeping with the City's policy and procedures related to proposal calls for the Engagement of Professional Services, immediately following the public opening the bids received were referred to an evaluation committee consisting of staff representatives from the Building and Technical Services and Leisure Services Departments and the Lord Beaverbrook Rink. The evaluation committed reviewed each bid on its technical aspects as they related to the standard criteria, including experience of the vendor and the methodology to be employed. Once this step was completed the financial considerations were evaluated and added to the technical review. At the end of this process the evaluation committee unanimously selected the proposal submitted by MCW Maricor as the one that best addressed the needs of the City of Saint John. MCW ranked high on their technical submission and even higher on cost as they submitted the lowest prices for each of the two projects. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The following is a breakdown of the project costs as submitted by MCW Maricor; Lord Beaverbrook Rink Charles Gorman Arena Total cost bid by MCW By comparison: Total cost bid by ADI Total cost bid by Fundy $29,100.00, plus HST $37,300.00, plus HST $69,400.00, plus HST $140,600.00 plus HST $119,500.00 plus HST This is a planned expenditure for which fiends have been identified in the 2009 Capital Budget. 38 Page Three RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the proposal for the provision of engineering services related to the investigation, design, specification and project management of the demolition and installation of new in floor ice making requirements to the Lord Beaverbrook Rink and the Charles Gorman Arena be awarded to MCW Maricor Ltd.

Totten, FCA City Manager 39 REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL M & C - 2009-51 27 February 2009 His Worship Ivan Court and Members of Common Council Your Worship and Councillors: SUBJECT: Proposal Call for Engineering Service Canada Games Aquatic Centre Roof Replacement BACKGROUND: } City of sent John A proposal closed on Tuesday, February 24t1' for the provision of engineering services for site inspection and consultation, detailed design and cost estimates, tender specifications and construction related services required for the replacement of the roof of the Canada Games Aquatic Centre. Although this replacement project was originally planned to be over a multi-year period, inspection by a roofing consultant engaged by Facilities Management last year found that the roof is in need of replacement this year. Damaging winds and heavy rains in the late fall have only succeeded in further deteriorating the roof's condition. ANALYSIS: Standard protocols were followed when proposals were called for this project. Notice was placed on the City's web page and copies were communicated directly to 4 potential bidders. Notwithstanding this level of effort only one company Jacques Whitford Stantec Ltd., Saint John, chose to participate in this proposal call by submitting a bid. This is a very specialized project and with there being a very limited number of firms that possess the expertise necessary to undertake it, staff assumed bidding would be light. 40 Page Two ANALYSIS... Cont' d; The only company to offer a bid on this project, Jacques Whitford Stantec, was in fact listed as two companies at the outset, both of which had been invited to submit proposals. Of the other potential bidders, one opted not to submit a proposal and we have been advised that the other has shut down their operations for the winter. Staff of the Building and Technical Services Department has reviewed the sole bid received and as anticipated, have found it to be complete in every regard. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: If awarded as recommended, the total cost for the engagement of engineering services related to the roof replacement of the Canada Games Aquatic will be $84,100.00, HST included. This amount is in keeping with the estimated cost for the engagement of these services and as such funds to cover the cost are included in the 2009 Capital Budget. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended, notwithstanding the fact that only one proposal was received, that Council accept the bid offered by Jacques Whitford Stantec Ltd., in the amount of $84,100.00, HST included, for the provision of engineering services as required in the call for proposals, to successfully replace the roof on the Canada Games Aquatic Centre.

February 26, 2009 His Worship Mayor Ivan Court '1111 LA & Members of Common Council Your Worship and Members of Council, SUBJECT: Value Engineering Services Adjustment Action Plan for Safe, Clean Drinking Water PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to make an administrative adjustment to the recommendation for consulting engineering services for the value engineering workshops. BACKGROUND On February 2, 2009, (M&C 2009-27) Council approved the recommendation to engage Robinson Stafford & Rude, Inc. for value engineering services related to the Action Plan for Safe, Clean Drinking Water. NCE Value Engineers Inc. was to be a subconsultant on the Robinson Stafford & Rude team to assist with leading the value engineering processes. The value engineering (VE) review is a systematic, function-based evaluation being undertaken to ensure that optimal efficiency and best value are achieved in development of the Action Plan for Safe, Clean Drinking Water and its implementation. It will focus explicitly on the best possible outcomes for the investments to be made. ANALYSIS Don Stafford, PE, CVS, of Robinson Stafford & Rude, Inc. is a certified value specialist based in St. Petersburg, Florida. For this project and many others, he has partnered with NCE Value Engineers Inc. from Markham, Ontario. David Wilson, P.Eng., CVS, CPF is the certified value specialist for NCE and was present at the interview in Saint John earlier this year. City staff have worked with Mr. Stafford over the last few weeks to negotiate a contractual agreement satisfactory to both parties, however, as a result of Robinson Stafford & Rude, Inc. being based in the United States, it is more time consuming and costly for them to meet all the conditions of a contractual agreement with the City of Saint John. Considering this and in the interest of keeping the value engineering review on schedule, staff propose the City instead enter into a contract with the Canadian partner, NCE Value Engineers Inc. Both companies have agreed in writing to the change in the contractual arrangement. The deliverables, scope of work and cost would not change from the original proposal. The only 42 M&C2009-52 Febwary 26, 2009 Page 2 change will simply be that contract documents would be executed by NCE Value Engineers Inc. as opposed to Robinson Stafford & Rude Inc. INPUT FROM OTHERS Municipal Operations & Engineering staff consulted with the City's Legal Department on this issue to address any concerns. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The proposed cost of the work from NCE Value Engineers Inc to provide value review services has not changed and remains at approximately $434,000 plus HST. Attempting to execute a contract with RSRI would delay the project and incur additional expenses. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Common Council accept the proposal of NCE Value Engineers Inc. for value engineering services related to the Action Plan for Safe, Clean Drinking Water and that the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute the appropriate documentation in that regard. Respectfidly submitted, J. M. Paul Groody, P. Eng. Commissioner, Municipal Operations & Engineering Terrence L. Totten, F.C.A. City Manager 43 M&C-2009-55 February 27, 2009 His Worship Mayor Ivan Court and Members of Common Council Your Worship and Councillors: SUBJECT: 6 Cranston Ave PID# 00026674. - HBL Rentals Inc. Encroachment on City Right of Way BACKGROUND: This report is written in response to a request of HBL Rentals Inc. (HBL) addressed to Elizabeth Gormley, City of Saint John Common Cleric, dated January 5, 2009 asking that a license be granted to permit a deck and stairs to remain as built. HBL purchased a fire-damaged 3-unit residential building at 6 Cranston Avenue in August 2007. HBL applied for and received a building permit (Permit 2008- 671) to rehabilitate/renovate the building. The rehabilitation/renovation was not carried out in accordance with the issued permit. The owner did not request any variation/amendment to the permit. The deck and part of the stairs as built rest upon a City owned retaining wall which provides support for the public street, thus encroaching upon the street right-of-way. Building Inspection Services has given notice to HBL to remove the stricture from the retaining wall, but to date the stricture remains. Before and after pictures have been attached hereto to further illustrate the situation. ANALYSIS: Input From Other Sources: 1. MuniciUal Ouerations & Enuineerin-: The City has an existing concrete retaining wall located on the east side of Cranston Avenue, adjacent to Civic # 6 Cranston Avenue. This existing retaining wall supports the street right-of-way at this location. A guide rail was also placed 44 Report to Common Council Febnuan- 27, 2009 Page 2 by the City west of the wall, to direct people (and/or vehicles) from the abrupt change in elevation at this location of the street right-of-way. The City is required to maintain, repair, and eventually replace this piece of municipal infrastructure and, as such, must have full and unrestricted access to it. Placement of a private stricture (decking and stairs) on this wall is unacceptable. From a structural perspective, the added loading was not a part of the original intent or design of this public retaining wall. The Chief City Engineer has directed that the private stricture be removed from the municipal right-of-way. 2. Planninu & Development: The "Yard Averaging" provisions of the Zoning By-law, Section 820(7), would allow the secondary exit stairs to be located no closer to the Cranston Avenue right-of-way than the closest portion of the existing building. Based on the information provided, it is unclear where the existing building is in relation to this property line. Consequently, in addition to the requested certificate of encroachment, a variance to further reduce the minimum required street setback from 7.5 metres (25 feet) to nil may be necessary. 3. Buildinu Inspection Services: It was first noted that the exterior stairs and deck were being constricted in April 2008. Notice was sent to HBL that there was no permit to cover the work. On May 18, 2008 it was noted that the structure had been completed, that it levered on the retaining wall in the street right of way, despite requests from various City Officials that it be removed. It was also noted that Building Permit application 2008-671 had been submitted for the stricture as it existed as of May 2008. Additional Notices were issued to no effect asking that the deck be removed from the retaining wall. The Building Permit for the structure was cancelled as the work was clearly in violation of the By-Law. For the reasons outlined above staff cannot recommend that the structure as built by HBL be permitted to remain in place. RECOMMENDATION: That the request by HBL for a licence be denied and fi rther that staff be instructed to proceed in the normal course of action to have the encroaching deck at 6 Cranston Avenue removed, and 45 Report to Common Council Page Februan- 27, 2009 That the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to sign all necessary documentation to effect said removal.

E2J 1B1 Phone 633-4449 Fax 652-6831 January 5, 2009 Elizabeth Gormley Town Clerk City of Saint John Dear Elizabeth, We are the owners of a residential rental property at 6 Cranston Avenue. Early last year ve purchased the property after it was damaged by fire. We applied and received a building permit for the required work and renovations. During the renovations we decided to change the secondary exit stairs to exterior landings and stairs. The original stairs ran through a narrow winding staircase from the top unit, all the way to the basement, then to an exterior landing and back up a set of exterior stairs. This system was not very practical and in my opinion was a very dangerous way to exit the unit in the event of a fire. We installed exit doors from all three units directly outside to new decks, which are all within our property and are not an issue with the Building Permit Department. The issue is the deck and stair system that is on the City property between our building and the City owned retaining wall, which runs parallel to Cranston Ave. The new deck at the front of the building runs along the face of the building and rests on the retaining wall, by about 4". The original deck and stairs ran between the retraining wall and the building, but was deteriorated and needed replacing. We had two problems with the original system: 1) if the retaining wall ever shifted toward our building it would have forced the stair/deck into the face of the house and caused structural problems and 2) in order to replace the existing, in the same fashion, it would have required excavation for a foundation, for the new deck, next to the retaining wall and possibly undermining it. I am therefore asking for a license be granted, to keep the new deck and stairs in place as is. The only concern the Building Permit Dept. voiced was that the deck was resting on the retaining wall and if the wall required maintenance, the deck would be in the way. In my opinion the retaining wall is in excellent condition and will not require any repairs but the new system would be no more of a burden than the original would have been.

City Market BACKGROUND: Pride Inc. occupies a portion of the third floor of the City Market tower and the entire fourth floor. The lessee has a lease for its occupation of the fourth floor which was granted by Common Council effective January 1, 2002 for a term of 10 years. The lease does not speak to the area on the third floor occupied by Pride Inc. Pride Inc. recently approached City staff regarding its interest to share its space with the newly formed Saint John multi cultural association, more particularly the Saint John Multicultural & Newcomers Resource Centre / Centre d'accueil multiculturel et des nouveaux arrivants de Saint John Inc. (MNRC) as it has excess capacity in its space and a desire to share services and certain expenses where possible in an effort to streamline its operations. MNRC has been seeking a location for its operations and the City Market has been deemed ideal. In order for Pride Inc. to sublease or licence the use of its space at the City Market, it must first have its lease amended to reflect the actual area under occupation, modify the sublet clause of the lease to permit consideration of such a request, and finally to clarify the tenant's obligations regarding the cleaning and maintenance of the demised premises. 50 Report to Common Council Februan- 27, 2009 Page 2 In the event Common Council grants the Amendment to Lease (attached), staff will follow with a report seeking Council's permission to license or sub let to the MNRC. RECOMMENDATION: 1. That The City of Saint John consents to the Amendment to Lease as attached to M&C 4 2009-54, and finrther 2. That the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute such documentation to give effect to the hereinabove given consent.

Using as a foundation the proven principles of the twelve steps of Alcoholics Anony- mous to assist those persons suffering from addiction to regain control of their lives through a sustained abstinent recovery. To further improve outcomes the addition of a strong transitional phase and aftercare program will ensure individual futures in a understanding, compassionate therapeutic environment.

With over 270 acres of rough wooded area, as well as, an existing lodge and cabins, this property has the right combination of seclusion and peaceful tranquility, away from heavily populated neighborhoods. It offers a near-perfect situation for self healing and spiritual awareness. Lots of space remains for future expansion and development, such as, additional housing, family & retreat centers, educational facilities. The Program • 42 Day Residential • Abstinence Based Treatment • 12 Step Recovery Model Proven Through Alcoholics Anonymous • Community Centered Living • Indoor and Outdoor Experiential Learning and Therapy • Equine Therapy • Restore Self Confidence and Self Worth • Extensive Transitional Program Involving Community Resources • Continuing Care Program Email: re.add@live.com 63 a Project ReAdd Support Requirements Initial support will be required from a variety of sources and in various forms , such as, financial support, physical contributions and in human resources. Financial The financial portion will be the most demanding in light of the current political and eco- nomic climate. ReADD will seek initial financial support from: • Industry and Business • Various Levels Of government • government Institutions • Religious Institutions • Religious and Service Groups • The Public In General Project ReADD will endeavor to garner the support of at least one major benefactor to speed the project to its' ultimate goal. Physical Contributions Physical support may be required in such forms as construction materials and equipment, furnishings, appliances and other general requirements. However, it is the aim of The Center to become self-funding and self-sufficient in most areas. Human Resources As with any non-profit entity, it may become necessary to ask for aid' in some form of manpower. Again, it is the intention of The Centre to become financially capable of engaging enough personnel to deal with most human resources requirements. However, initially and perhaps in the future, Project ReADD will seek the support of large industry and business in supplying people on a temporary basis, as well as, guidance on issues of any of the above named categories. Project ReAD~ Founding Group The Project ReADD group is made up of a number of health professionals, addiction specialists and counselors, financial experts, as well as, business and marketing people of various vocations.

ANALYSIS The request by the Samuel de Champlain Playground Committee is similar to other requests the City has entertained in the past. The committee has received a quote of $113,621.00 for this project and is currently raising the necessary funding. This committee is seeking $ 15,000.00 from the LPP Trust Fund. This request conforms to the current City practice of seeking partners in the development of recreation facilities. Since the proposed project is on school property, the city requires written authorization from School District 41 that the facility will be open for recreational use and enjoyment of the general public. CITY OF SAINT JOHN COUNCIL PRIORITIES 2008-2012 On September 12 and 13, 2008 members of Saint John Common Council met to develop priorities for 2008-2012. Common Council envisioned revitalized neighbourhoods that are safe, vibrant and attractive. Reinvestment in existing recreational facilities was seen as a priority based on the needs of the community. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 65 Staff supports the development of the Samuel de Champlain playground with funding to be provided through the LPP Trust Fund in the amount of $10,000, which is the recommended amount that is listed in the "Guidelines for Evaluation of requests for Contributions from the LPP Trust Fund" as approved by Common Council on August 20, 2001. There is currently a balance of approximately $20,000.00 in the Land for Public Purpose Fund. Should the recommendation be approved the balance of the LPP Trust Fund will be approximately $10,000. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that Council: 1. Grant $10,000.00 from the LPP Fund in support of this project, 2. That such funding is contingent upon receipt of a certificate from the Superintendent, District 41 and ARCf de Saint-Jean, stating that the property to be used for the development is school property and that the playground will be open for the recreational use and enjoyment of the general public, 3. That such funding is contingent on the equipment and installation being CSA approved and that a letter from the equipment supplier stating this fact be sent to the City Leisure Services Department, and further 4. That a letter stating that the maintenance of this new playground development is to be the responsibility of the School District and ARCf de Saint Jean.

Heureusement, au cours des 2 dernieres annees, le Centre a ete la scene d'un agrandissement majeur. La superficie de 1'ecole et du centre communautaire a ete augmentee considerablement. Tout au long des travaux, la communaute francophone a continue d'occuper les espaces malgre le desagrement cause. La fin des travaux fut un soulagement pour tous et grace aux espaces supplementaires, I'ecole accueille maintenant plus de 635 enfants (cle la maternelle A la 12e annee] et la garderie accueille plus de 280 enfants (prescolaire et scolaire). La communaute francophone pour sa part beneficie de plusieurs nouveaux locaux et services suite A cet agrandissement. Toutefois, aucun investissement n'a ete fait pour mettre A jour les infrastructures recreatives et sportives exterieures du Centre Samuel-de-Champlain. Avec une population scolaire de plus de 600 eleves et une communaute grandissante b Millidgeville, les terrains cle jeu et autres installations sportives A 1'exterieur du centre ne repondent pas A la demande des utilisateurs, de lh cette demande de financement aupres de la ville clans le cadre du programme LPP Funding.

En 2007, le comite a tenu des rencontres d'information aupres de is communaute et a retenu les services d'une firme d'architectes pour developper un plan conceptuel d'amenagement des espaces exterieurs, selon les besoins enonces par la communaute. Voir la figure 1 et le tableau 1. Le plan conceptuel inclut I'amenagement d'aire de jeux pour les enfants, I'amelioration des aires sportives existantes et ajout de nouvelles infrastructures sportives, I'agrandissement des terrains de stationnement, le deplacement de la salle des aines et le developpement des batiments de I'eglise. De plus, le concept prevoit I'amenagement de pares naturels, de sentiers, d'un jardin communautaire, etc. Dans son design et clans sa mise en place, le projet prevoit que les infrastructures seront accessibles e toute la communaute. Pour sa mise en oeuvre. le ojo'et sera, developne en un minimum de 8 chases distinctes.

La structure existante nest pas assez grande pour le nombre d'utilisateurs et le manque d'espace oblige leg enfants. a jouer clans des espaces non amenages qui ne sont pas adequats (un terrain de soccer et un stationnement).

II est important de souligner clue ce projet est prioritaire pour la communaute. Plusieurs grouper communautaires appuient le projet. Les campagnes de financement vont tres bien, plus de 10 000$ ont deja ete amasses grace a des activites de financement.. De plus, le projet propose est compatible avec leg plans de developpement de l'ARCf de Saint-Jean, leg gestionnaires du Centre Samuel-de-Champlain, ainsi qu'avec leg reglements du Centre scolaire Samuel-de- Champlain.

Nous soulignons que le groupe travaille avec la compagnie locale Fundy Fencing, et son fournisseur Blue imp, pour le developpement du projet. La proposition d'affaire est en annexe.

We have done a number of community fund raising events, including: 1. Individual donations from parents 2. Christmas cards sale 3. Magazine membership sale We are getting ready for a fund raising campaign with local companies and businesses in Saint John. We currently have more then $15000.00 in the project account. Above and beyond this amount, we have paid to get a conceptual plan and preliminary budget done by a professional landscape architect. This concept amounted to $6000.00 So all together we have accumulated approximately $21000.00 towards this project. We are committed to complete the playground for September 2009. We also hope to get in-kind assistance from school District 1 (French district) as well as the province.

I I I Iii.,,, I „ I Sadly, suicide in New Brunswick is a fact of life. Approximately 100 New Brunswickers commit suicide each year. As in most other provinces, the risk of suicide is highest among men 20 to 40 years old, young people, seniors, and those vvfio have lost a close friend or family member through suicide. el vv Brums i, G -1- an dio r ~ F_-I The New Brunswick Mental Health Services Division recognizes three basic principles: there is a responsibility to provide alternative ways of addressing psychological or physical suffering in an effort to counter suicidal behaviours; suicide is a social problem; and suicide has multiple causes. The New Brunswick Suicide Prevention Program mobilizes agencies and individuals that work provincially and locally. The goal of the program is to reduce New Brunswick's suicide rate per 100,000 population. A provincial committee was established in 1989 to advise the Mental Health Services Division on strategies to be developed, implemented. or reviewed with regard to suicide prevention. In addition, it engages in liaison and co- ordination at the provincial level in order to develop an optimum common approach. Regionally, 13 Community Suicide Prevention Committees are in place throughout New Brunswick. They advise their local Community Mental Health Centre and the Provincial Suicide Prevention Committee on the actions required in order to meet the program's objectives. Also, they engage in liaison and coordination at the regional level. E The New Brunswick Suicide Prevention Program is based on two models, one conceptual in nature and the other intervention-oriented. The conceptual model rests on fundamental notions of the systemic and ecological theory, according to which the causes of suicide are multifactorial, interacting in networks and in connection with the environment. The intervention model is the one used for crisis intervention, with a psychoooccal and community-focused approach, It involves three broad activity sectors: prevention/promotion, intervention, and postvention. pay Measures designed to prevent the appearance of a suicidal state. They essentially act on the risk factors by improving living conditions and strengthening the protective factors. Promotion of the Program Consultation and promotion services are provided for the various agencies that request them. Public Awareness and Training Public awareness and training sessions are available throughout New Brunswick and are offered regularly. Provincial Suicide Prevention Week Since 1995, the Provincial Suicide Prevention Committee has sponsored a provincial Suicide Prevention Week during the second week of February. Suicide and the Media A kit on how to deal with information regarding persons who have committed suicide is available to all media. 114 Initiatives focussing on early detection, crisis intervention, and medium- and long-term treatment of individuals at risk or presenting a suicidal pathology. Protocols for the Referral of Suicidal Persons Several hospitals, police forces, and other agencies have signed protocols with their local Community Mental Health Centre so that suicidal persons can be referred and can obtain the appropriate services. Treatment Services The Community Mental Health Centres provide treatment for suicidal persons in crisis situations as well as treatment on a short, mid and long term basis, Suicide Intervention Workshop Intensive two-day courses that are aimed at helping participants to recognize suicidal persons, to assess the level of risk, and in the case of attempted suicide, to use an intervention model, Peas€n ``'os Act- P' S Direct services for suicide survivors (crisis intervention, debriefing, therapy for individuals, the family, or the extended family) and intervention in environments such as schools or workplaces. Debriefing Services Suicide survivors and persons who have had to be on site at the time the deceased was discovered can receive debriefing services from their local Community Mental Health Centre. Self-help Groups There are self-help groups for suicide survivors in several regions of New Brunswick. Psychological Autopsies An exercise that consists in reconstructing the social and psychological circumstances that led to suicide. Psychological autopsies are carried out at the request of the Provincial Coroner. t =s unity m e fay eaftb reE Bathurst 547-2038 Campbeliton 789-2440 Caraquet 726-2039 Edmundston 735-2070 Fredericton 453-2132 Grand Falls 475-2440 Miramichi 778-6111 Moncton 856-2444 Richibucto 523-7620 St. Stephen 466.7380 Saint John 658.3737 Sussex 432.2090 Woodstock 325.4419 v . cat Sr- ces D1 si _r Fredericton 444-4442 (phone) 453-8711 (fax) :eW He=tic so-Citit Regional Community Workers Location Telephone Fax Campbellton 789-2441 753-6969 Edmundston 739-9489 737-4448 Fredericton 458-4155 459-3878 Miramichi 773-7561 778-5296 Moncton 852-3270 859-9581 Saint John 432-2090 432-2046 Shippagan 336-4932 336-3912 Branches - Provincial Office 455-5231(phone) - 45 3878 (fax) Fredericton 458-1803 Moncton 859-8114 Saint John 633-1705 Other Community Resources CHIMO Crisis Line 1-800-667-5005 Emergency 911 4 6+ C-) b -0 Z a a CL om aint Jahn Community e " = Suicide Prevention Committee ~ o ' In order to address the issue of suicide 0 1< in the region, the Saint John Community Suicide Prevention En Committee was established in 1993 to y (A enhance, expand, and coordinate ti H suicide prevention, intervention, and 0 0.

You are aware that opportunities to help a person with thoughts of suicide are sometimes missed, dismissed and avoided. You want persons with thoughts to invite your help. You know the TALK steps (Tell, Ask, Listen and KeepSafe) and can activate a suicide t, 4 alert. As a part of the KeepSafe step, you connect persons with thoughts to persons trained in suicide intervention. Helpers trained in suicide intervention complete the helping process or connect the person with more specialized help. ` safreTALK helps to create suicide-safer communities. safeTALK is 3 hour training for everyone in the community designed to ensure that persons with thoughts of suicide are connected to helpers who are prepared to provide first aid interventions. safeTALK is deli ned to b d ' t' d g e use wn organize tons an communities where there are already ASIST-trained caregivers. Suicide alert helpers are part of a suicide-safer community. , To register call Paula Morrow 558-3154 t 117 The Saint John Community Suicide Prevention Committee members, most of whom are volunteers, are pleased to now be offering a new three hour "SafeTALK" program in addition to the 2-day ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) programs which we have sponsored in the past. SAFE is an acronym for "Suicide Alertness for Everyone". Unlike ASIST which is for ages 18 & over, SafeTALK participants can be as young as 15. Most people considering suicide as an option share their distress and their intent. Sometimes we miss, dismiss or avoid any clues a person gives to suicide risk. SafeTALK will help you become aware of the subtle clues or invitations, will give you the confidence to ask about suicide, will provide you with the tools to help prevent the immediate risk of suicide and will help you link with resources. The emphasis of the ASIST workshop is on suicide first-aid, on helping a person at risk stay safe and seek further help. Attendance at the full two days includes learning how to apply a suicide intervention model and like SafeTALK, links people with community resources. Evaluations have shown that the workshops increase caregivers` knowledge and confidence to respond to a person at risk of suicide, that intervention skills are retained over time and that they are put to use to save lives. To register for the next ASIST or SafeTALK session or inquire about becoming a volunteer with the Saint John Community Suicide Prevention Committee, phone Paula Morrow at 658- 3154 or email: .paula.morrow(Oanb.ca 118 u ~ ~ ~I I~ I I I I i ~ I ~I I INM I I I ul misconceptions. rllmq~d,l ~~~,Illluu~ Ilhol~ li I Il D ~ ~ i {u i l,i L _1 1 ~-Cr?~I 1 ~,'c{I'l } 3-~I'i.ES..~rllllllll m~ml-III-IIIiIIll ~c~, ~._c r. 1• IIIIIIIII ~~III~"IIIII~I { ~►~III~ ' 113 Mental Illness can affect anyone.

Kevin Steele Page I 134 February 25, 2009 Your Worship and Councillors: SUBJECT: Rezoning and Subdivision - 783 Hillcrest Road On February 2, 2009 Common Council referred the above matter to the Planning Advisory Committee for a report and recommendation. The Committee considered the attached report at its February 24, 2009 meeting. Mr. Kevin Steele appeared to speak in support of the application and indicated that he was not in agreement with the recommendation in the attached report. Mr. Steele pointed out that the current phase of development is located more than 200 metres from the adjacent pits and quarries and will not have any impact on these existing operations. Mr. Steele also pointed out that these pits and quarries, if operated correctly, will not have an impact on his proposed development due to the regulatory controls for blasting, dust, setbacks and buffers. He also indicated that there are existing homes and recently approved subdivisions much closer to these operations than his development would be. Mr. Bob Ridgeway appeared on behalf of the Galbraith group of companies and indicated that he was in opposition to the application given the potential impact of the proposed residential uses on the existing Galbraith pit and quarry at 1450 Golden Grove Road. Mr. Ridgeway also submitted the attached letter outlining his reasons for opposition. Another letter of opposition was received from Debly Construction Ltd. After considerable discussion regarding the potential issues of land use conflict, water quality and quantity and wetland concerns, the Committee made the recommendation as set out below. RECOMMENDATION: That the application be denied. 135 Plaiming Advisory Committee Febnian- 27, 2009 Respectfully submitted, Carl Killen Vice-Chairman SKH Attachments Project No. 09-032 Page 2 136 DATE: FEBRUARY 20, 2009 TO: PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE FROM: PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT FOR: MEETING OF FEBRUARY 24, 2009 Sarah Herring, MCIP, RPP Planner SUBJECT Name of Applicant: Kevin Steele - Jovin Construction Ltd. Name of Owner: Kevin and Joan Steele Location: 783 Hillcrest Road PID: portions of 00353276 and 00310680 Municipal Plan: Rural Zoning: Existing: "RS-I" One and Two Family Suburban Residential and "RF" Rural Proposed: "RR" One Family Rural Residential Proposal: To rezone a property in order to permit the first phase of a rural residential subdivision. Type of Application: Rezoning, Subdivision and Variance to permit shoreline areas around Emerald Lake to be privately owned whereas the Subdivision By-law requires that "where lots for residential purposes are to be located along a sea, lake or 137 Kevin Steele - Jovin Construction Ltd. Page 2 783 Hillcrest Road FebruarN, 2(_), 2(_)(_)9 river, a street is to be provided along the shore thereof, unless land for public purposes is located along such shore" JURISDICTION OF COMMITTEE: The C'ommimith Plaw ing Act authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to give its views to Common Council concerning proposed rezoning applications. The Committee's recommendation will be considered by Common Council at a Public Hearing on Monday, March 2, 2008. The Act authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to give its views to Common Council concerning the subdivision of land, including the assent of streets, land for public purposes, and municipal services and public utility easements, as well as cost sharing for piping materials outside the limits of the subdivision, and the authorization of City/Developer Subdivision Agreements. The Act also authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to grant reasonable variances from the requirements of the Subdivision By-law. Conditions can be imposed by the Committee. STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO COMMITTEE: That the application be denied. BACKGROUND: On April 8, 2008 the Planning Advisory Committee favourably considered a subdivision application involving the creation of seven (7) unserviced residential lots from the property at 783 Hillcrest Road. These lots are situated along Hillcrest Road in front of the subject site and those that have been registered are now identified as 699 Hillcrest Road, 725 Hillcrest Road, and 735 Hillcrest Road. Common Council considered the same application at its meeting of April 14, 2008, and assented to any necessary public utility easements and accepted 1.85 hectares of Land for Public Purposes adjacent to Hillcrest Road to satisfy the requirement of 3,539 square metres of land for that phase of the development and to provide a credit of 1.5 hectares of Land for Public Purposes for friture phases of development on the subject property. Final subdivision plans were endorsed for registration on July 10, 2008 and August 6, 2008. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: 138 Kevin Steele - Jovin Construction Ltd. 783 Hillcrest Road Page FebruarN, 2(_), 2(_)(_)9 Municipal Operations and Engineering has the following comments on the proposed rezoning and subdivision: - There are no municipal services in this area. - The developer's engineering consultant must provide to the City a detailed site drainage plan and storm water report. - Detailed engineering drainage and street plans must be provided to the City by the developer's engineering consultant. - The buffer zone for the brook is currently shown through proposed Lot A-1 and other frlture lots. This may be of concern for the NB Department of Environment and, as such, must be reviewed by them and appropriate approvals given. - The overall plan has a number of lots that, due to the watercourse setback buffer, will not permit development without appropriate approvals from the Department of Environment. - This proposed development is adjacent to existing properties with Pit and Quarry zoning. This should be reviewed by Building and Inspection Services as to proximity of the proposed property lines to the pits/quarries. - It should be noted that the existing brook is not the responsibility of the City of Saint John but that of individual property owners. The property owners shall be responsible to maintain the natural drainage flow of the brook. - The proposed Emerald Lake Road is shown as crossing the identified brook - this must be reviewed and designed in accordance with NB Department of Environment and Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans approvals and requirements as well as any requirements of the City. - As proposed, Phase 1 of this subdivision must include temporary gravel turnarounds at Diamond Drive (near Lots 4-E and 8-C) and at Ruby Road (near Lots 20-B and 5-D). - The proposed cul-de-sacs as shown on Topaz Street (east and west) and on Diamond Drive should not be accepted, but rather identified as friture streets similar to Opal Avenue (near Lots 1-D and 8-C). As well, from Ruby Road travelling north, there is no other way to enter/exit this subdivision in the ffiture. The provision of frfture streets must be included to adjacent properties. 139 Kevin Steele - Jovin Construction Ltd. 783 Hillcrest Road Page 4 Februarv 2(_), 2(_)(_)9 Easements or rights may need to be given to the City around the brook and lake to ensure that the City has the right to work with the brook or lake buffer if or when maintenance is required on City property or services (such as the proposed public street). - The proposed plan does not show the inlet to or outlet from the existing lake. This might affect the proposed lots in Block "E". Buildings and Inspection Services believes that this application should be treated the same as that previously considered for the property at 595 Hillcrest Road [staff and the Planning Advisory Committee recommended denial of the requested rezoning at 595 Hillcrest Road]. There are obviously no Building Code issues at this point in the process, and setback requirements are best addressed by the staff of the Planning Department. Saint John Energy has been advised of this application. Aliant Telecom has no issues with this rezoning. Rogers has been advised of this application. Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline advises that this area is all clear and that work will not be taking place near the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline or Brunswick Pipeline facilities. Leisure Services has been advised of this application. Fire Department has no objection to this application, however, the street network would have to adhere to National Building Code Standards for Access Route Desig» and the Saint John Fire Department reserves the right to accept or reject any turn-around areas as defined by the developer. A site assessment will be required for the purposes of determining whether fire apparatus can turn in any of the proposed turnaround areas. N.B. Department of Health has indicated that they cannot provide comments on the suitability of the proposed lots for on-site septic systems until testing can be done in the spring. They do not expect, however, that on-site systems will be problematic in this area. N.B. Department of Environment has reviewed the Abbreviated Water S'ul)l)ly Assessnmut (AWSA) prepared by Fundy Engineering for the Emerald Lake Estates Subdivision, Saint John NB, and indicates the following: The lot sizes in the development vary but range between 5099 to 11700 square metres. The single-family residences will be serviced by individual private wells and septic systems. A search of the NBDENV database returned 17 useable well logs within 1 km of the property. The well logs indicate that estimated well yields in the area range from 0.25 to 20 140 Kevin Steele - Jovin Construction Ltd. 783 Hillcrest Road Page 5 FebruarN, 2(_), 2(_)(_)9 igpm (average of 4.6 igpm). Nine of the 17 well logs indicated well yields of 3.0 igpm or less, therefore, low well yields appear to be common in the area and homeowners may need to install water storage or drill deeper or larger diameter wells to meet water demands. The wells in the area are relatively deep and range in depth from 40 to 300 feet (average depth is 200 feet). A search of the NBDENV well chemistry database provided 12 water chemistry results for wells within I lair of the property. Four of the 12 results exceeded the Canadian Drinking Water Quality (CDWQ) Guidelines for iron, 3 results exceeded for manganese and 8 of the results exceeded for turbidity. The Guidelines for iron, manganese and turbidity are aesthetic objectives, not health Guidelines, and standard treatment systems are available. - One of the 12 results had an arsenic concentration that was at the CDWQ Guidelines limit of 10ug/L, and one result exceeded the CDWQ Guideline for lead (10u(,/L) at 12 u(,/L. The Guidelines for arsenic and lead are health Guidelines and water with these concentrations of arsenic and lead would require treatment for it to be considered potable. The general area is known for occasional exceedances of CDWQ Guidelines for lead and arsenic and it is possible that some wells in the proposed subdivision will have an issue with arsenic and/or lead. A search of the NBDENV database provided 12 microbiology results. No wells indicated E. coli but 2 of the wells tested indicated the presence of total coliforms in the water. Total coliforms are natural soil bacteria and can generally be treated by shock chlorinating the affected well. The Department of Environment also reviewed the proposed subdivision with regard to the Watercour,ve and Wetland Altercitiou Regulation and has noted that the required 30 metre buffers from watercourses and/or wetlands do not appear to be placed on the plan correctly. The Department has referenced Fundy Engineering's AWSA report that indicates the presence of one mapped wetland/lake and two surface water features that nm through the property. The consultant and the Department recommend that all watercourses and wetlands be delineated in the field prior to development in order to determine their exact size and extent. With regard to adjacent pit and quarry operations at 1450 Golden Grove Road and 873 Hillcrest Road, the Department provided copies of the draft Saud and Gi°a>>el Pits EmIrouwueutal Guideliies and the draft Rock (hrcu•i-l, arid Asl)hcilt Plant ,Siting Gsideliue. The Department also provided the following comments with regard to the "Ping Pong Pond" operation at 1450 Golden Grove Road: "the existing quarry operating on PID's 00348995, 00355123 and 55006472 is to be 350 metres away from any existing water well and 100 metres away from any existing foundation unless written permission is received from the land owner, as per Approval to Operate I-6068. With that said, these setbacks would not be applied to properties in the 141 Kevin Steele - Jovin Construction Ltd. 783 Hillcrest Road Page 6 FebruarN, 2(_), 2(_)(_)9 above proposed subdivision or any future developments. While the setbacks would not apply, the blast vibration limits placed on the quarry by the department would still be in force for those properties". GIS Division advises that the proposed street names "Emerald Lake Road" and "Ruby Road" are acceptable, but that the proposed "Diamond Drive" is not. ANALYSIS: The subject site is located on the north side of Hillcrest Road on the City's East side. The surrounding area off Hillcrest Road and to the north contains a number of large wooded parcels, several gravel pit and quarry operations, and a number of residential dwellings along Hillcrest Road. The area to the south of the subject site, between Hillcrest Road and Loch Lomond Road, contains an increasing density of residential subdivisions with dwellings serviced by private, on- site well and septic systems. Long-existing pit and quarry operations situated directly adjacent to the subject site raise serious concerns with respect to this application. Development Proposal The applicant has requested that an approximately 6.6 hectare (163 acre) portion of the property at 783 Hillcrest Road be rezoned from "RS-1" One and Two Family Suburban Residential and "RF" Rural to "RR" One Family Rural Residential to permit the development of a rural residential subdivision. The proposed subdivision, as shown on the attached Emerald Lake Estates Te»tatiiv Plana, will consist of 20 residential lots on three new public streets and will be the first phase of a larger subdivision. Each of the proposed lots will be serviced by private, on-site well and septic systems. Rural Residential Subdivisions The Municipal Plan has designated this area of the City as Rural, and offers the following guidance for its development: "The land area within the municipal limits of the City of Saint John is so extensive that even if the population were to increase substantially, urbanization is not likely to embrace the entire area, nor is it desirable from the point of view of compact, efficient and economic city development. It is recognized that much of the area in the remote reaches of the City is of value for agricultural or woodlot purposes and should be preserved as 142 Kevin Steele - Jovin Construction Ltd. 783 Hillcrest Road Page 7 FebruarN, 2(_), 2(_)(_)9 such until it is absolutelv essential that it be developed for urban uses" (note: emphasis added by staff). The Plan allows that residential development be permitted in this area in the form of single-family estate development on lots with an area of 4 hectares (9.9 acres) or more with independent on-site well and septic systems, or in the form of Rural Residential Subdivisions. An amendment to the Municipal Plan in the late 1980's allowed rural residential subdivisions in areas designated for Rurcil and (Tiiseri,iced Residewial development. These planned, low density subdivisions are to be physically separated from built-up areas, and while they are to be oriented towards a nearby urban centre, they themselves are to provide a minimum of urban services. It is intended that the value of rural living will compensate for any inconvenience associated with the lack of urban services. Rural Residential Subdivisions are required to have no fewer than 20 lots arranged in a cluster (or in a traditional subdivision layout) fronting primarily on an internal local street system which has reasonable but limited access onto the existing City street system via an adjacent arterial or collector public street. Individual lots in a rural residential subdivision must have independent septic and well systems acceptable to the responsible Provincial Departments as well as the City, and internal roads must be developed to a country standard as set out by the Subdivision By-law. The Plan also requires that these subdivisions be implemented, in part, by rezoning to the "RR" One Family Rural Residential zone and that Land for Public Purposes equal to 10 percent of the development and generally suitable for active recreation purposes be granted to the City in conjunction with the subdivision development. The Municipal Plan also directs that rural residential subdivisions should onlv be located in areas which have limited uotential for auriculture_ forestry mineral. sand or uravel resources. Citv water subbly or ecolouical siunificance (note: emphasis added by staff). It is to be the applicant's responsibility to show that this potential is limited in the area proposed for rural residential development and is not of significant City or regional importance. Zoninu and Subdivision By-law Re irements: The attached Emerald Lake Estates Te»tati1v Subs i>>isio» Plcm illustrates the proposed creation of 20 lots, each meeting or exceeding the proposed "RR" One Family Rural Residential requirements for a minimum lot area of 5,000 square metres (1.24 acres), a minimum lot width of 60 metres (196.9 feet) and a minimum lot depth of 40 metres (131.2 feet). The proposed subdivision also appears to meet the requirements of the Subdivision By-law regarding the development of streets, however, final subdivision plans would need to illustrate temporary turnarounds of the appropriate shape and diameter at the ends of Diamond Drive and Ruby Road and a future street connection at the end of Emerald Lake Road. The developer will need to provide detailed street and drainage plans for the approval of the Chief City Engineer or his designate prior to final approval of the subdivision. The applicant has 143 Kevin Steele - Jovin Construction Ltd. 783 Hillcrest Road Page 8 FebruarN, 2(_), 2(_)(_)9 proposed the names Emerald Lake Road, Diamond Drive and Ruby Road for the new public streets in the subdivision, and these names, with the exception of Diamond Drive, as well as the proposed location of the streets are acceptable. The applicant will also need to suggest a new name for the proposed Diamond Drive. The required Land for Public Purposes (LPP) dedication of 10% of the subdivision (exclusive of public streets), can be satisfied by the 1.5 hectare "surplus" from the 1.85 hectares of LPP accepted by Common Council in April of 2008. As a result, an additional dedication of LPP is not required for this phase of development. Residential Servicinu: The applicant has submitted an Abbreviated Water,Sul)hh, ,Source Assessment as required in conjunction with this application. The Assessment report, prepared by Fundy Engineering, reviewed 20 water well records from within a 1.0 kilometre radius of the proposed subdivision and concluded that there appears to be water in sufficient quantity and of adequate quality for single-family residential development, although in some instances groundwater may require some treatment if individual wells show exceedances above guideline values and/or if parameters are a nuisance. The report also stated that neither groundwater quantity nor quality can be guaranteed for any of the on-site potable groundwater wells drilled for the development. The Department of Environment has reviewed the submitted Abbe°eviated AssessrTZe»t and provided continents that low well yields appear to be common in the area and that potential homeowners may need to install water storage or drill a deeper or larger diameter well in order to meet water demands. As water chemistry data for the area generally indicates that water treatment may be necessary for iron, manganese, turbidity and possibly arsenic and/or lead and this treatment may be expensive, the Department recommends that the developer be required to disclose to any potential homeowners the potential for low well yields and possible water treatment so that they are fully aware of the issue and can plan for the expense. The Department of Health has indicated that although they do not anticipate concerns in this area, the suitability of the proposed lots for on-site septic systems cannot be determined until water percolation tests can be completed in the spring. The Development Officer cannot issue Final Subdivision Approval until such time as a report has been received from the Department of Health indicating that all of the proposed lots can be serviced by on-site septic systems. Environmental Constraints As noted by Fundy Engineering in the Abbreviated Water Supply Sollrce AsseVVnIe»t and in continents from the Department of Environment, the subject site contains several watercourses, a lake and at least one wetland. The attached Tentative Subdivision Plan illustrates the required 30 metre (100 foot) buffer around the southern watercourse and the lake, but does not show the wetland or other watercourse to the north of the property. The applicant previously revised the 144 Kevin Steele - Jovin Construction Ltd. 783 Hillcrest Road Page 9 FebruarN, 2(_), 2(_)(_)9 subdivision plans in consultation with planning staff to avoid and/or mitigate impacts to the lake and watercourse, and it now appears that further revisions may be necessary given these other water features. The proposed Emerald Lake Road will cross one of the brooks on the site, and this will require a Watercourse and Wetland Alteration permit from the Provincial Department of Environment and, if the brook is fish-bearing, approval by the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Land Use Conflicts As previously noted, the long-existing "Ping Pong Pond" pit and quarry operation situated directly north of the subject properties at 1450 Golden Grove Road and the Debly gravel pit directly east of the property at 873 Hillcrest Road raise serious concerns for the proposed subdivision development. There is an obvious potential for land use conflicts given the proximity of the proposed residential development to on-going industrial use of the land to the north and east for blasting, gravel and rock extraction, and crushing. Common conflicts generally arise from resident's complaints about the trucking, noise, and dust created by quarries and gravel pits and the visual appearance of the cleared land, heavy equipment use and site conditions during the quarrying and extraction activities. The three parcels of land that comprise the "Ping Pong Pond" operation contain approximately 136 hectares (336 acres) of land with significant potential for further resource extraction. Current extraction activities appear, from aerial photography, to be situated to the north of the "Ping Pong Pond" site, approximately 500 metres (1,640 feet) from the north property line of the subject site, however, it is expected that these activities will extend further south towards the subject site as resources in the northern areas are depleted. The attached Gra>>el Pit Golde» Grovv Road plan indicates significant mineral, sand or gravel reserves on other areas of the site. These plans, intended to illustrate future extraction and eventual rehabilitation of operations were analysed and accepted by the City at the time this site was considered for rezoning and it is understood that a similar plan was approved by the Department of Environment in recent years. Citv of Saint John Pit and Ouarrv Policies and Reuulations: In the 1990's, a comprehensive policy review of pit and quarry operations was initiated by the City. The review and the associated public and stakeholder consultation process resulted in the development of a comprehensive Pits grad Quarries Aggregate Resource Vrategt, and amendments to the Municipal Plan and the Zoning By-law in 1994. The Municipal Plan makes the following comments with respect to pits and quarries: "Soil and geological conditions make Saint John a particularly suitable location for extractive industries and it abounds with pits and quarries. These form an important component of the economic activities in the region it is the intent of the City of Saint John 145 Kevin Steele - Jovin Construction Ltd. 783 Hillcrest Road Page 10 FebruarN, 2(_), 2(_)(_)9 to support and encourage their continued operation as a contribution to the economic health of the community. It is recognized, however, the pit and quarry operations constitute a disturbance and hazard to nearby urban uses." As pits and quarries are not regarded as permanent land uses (since their aggregate resource will at some point be exhausted) they are not designated on Schedule 2-A of the Municipal Plan. Instead, these activities are controlled through the "PQ" Pits and Quarries zone and it is anticipated they will later be rezoned to a zone compatible with their land use designation following site rehabilitation. By-law amendments to implement the new "PQ" Pits and Quarries zone removed pit and quarry operations as permitted uses in the Rural and Industrial zones and new performance standards for their operation and site rehabilitation were included in the new zone. In 2001, eighteen existing pit and quarry operations, including the Ping Pong Pond operation, were recommended for rezoning to "PQ" Pits and Quarries by City staff. On June 20, 2000, prior to the rezoning of the "Ping Pong Pond" operation, the Planning Advisory Committee granted variances to permit the pit and quarry to operate only 30 metres (100 feet) from property lines and residentially zoned properties (normally the "PQ" Pits and Quarries zone requires a minimum setback of 200 metres (656 feet) in the case of a quarry, and 150 metres (492 feet) for gravel pits). These variances were granted to allow the existing operation to continue under the previous setback requirements. Similar variances were granted for many of the other existing pit and quarry operation. Province of New Brunswick Reuulations and Guidelines The Province has provided copies of the draft Rock Ouci ry grad Ashhalt Plant ,Siting Guidelnes and the draft S mtl ciml G°an,el Pits E»n,iroauueiacal Guidelines in reference to their requirements for the location and setback of pits and quarries from surrounding land uses. The Rock Oucirry grad Ashlurlt Plcmt,Siting Guidelines provide minimum separation distances for proposed rock quarries to minimize their potential environmental impacts. In the case of existing quarries, however, the Guidelines note that these are exempt from the application of the setback criteria and their final operational perimeters will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Department of Environment. In cases where an operational perimeter has proceeded beyond one or more of the recommended setbacks, the final operational perimeter will be developed to ensure that no further encroachment on that setback occurs. The Guidelines consider an existing rock quarry to be any quarry where blasting, crashing, and/or tricking from stockpiles is taking place or has taken place within the previous five years. Similarly, the separation distances listed in the Scud witl G•cuvel Pits Eravirouanaeratcul Guidelines are intended to apply only to new pit operations. Relocation of the operation may be considered necessary only when existing locations are considered to pose an unacceptable environmental risk that cannot be satisfactorily mitigated. 146 Kevin Steele - Jovin Construction Ltd. 783 Hillcrest Road Page 11 FebruarN, 2(_), 2(_)(_)9 Continents from the Department of Environment indicate that the final operational perimeter for the "Ping Pong Pond" pit and quarry has been set at 100 metres (328 feet) from existing foundations and 350 metres (1,148 feet) from existing wells, such as those on nearby Marilyn Drive (as shown on the attached "350 metre Separation from Existing Marilyn Drive properties" diagram). These setbacks will not be applied to properties in the proposed subdivision or any future development, however, the blast vibration limits placed on the quarry by the Department would still be in force with regard to the proposed lots. The result of this is that while new development will not reduce the area of the existing "Ping Pong Pond" property that can be used for resource extraction, the proposed Emerald Lake Estates subdivision will place new dwellings and wells within an area where structural and quality of life impacts have been determined to occur. The City of Saint John "PQ" Pits and Quarries zoning requires only a 200 metre (656 foot) separation between quarries and residentially zoned properties, however, the Aggregate Resource Strcitegv and the Province's Rock Onciri , cud Ashlurlt Plant Siting Guidelines both recommend a minimum separation of 600 metres (1,969 feet) between dwellings and quarry operations. Although the proposed first phase of the Emerald Lake Estates subdivision falls just outside of the minimum required 200 metre (656 foot) separation, staff do not consider it wise to permit this development since Provincial guidelines clearly indicate that negative impacts from quarrying can reach beyond this distance. CONCLUSION: The Municipal Plan has designated this area of the City as Rural and considers it appropriate for resource uses such as agriculture, forestry and mineral extraction. The large land mass within Saint John City boundaries provides a great number of areas with the potential for residential development, much of which is more suited to residential development than the subject site. The City's preference is that new residential development be of high quality, located in urban areas serviced by City water and sewer systems and other existing infrastructure. This form of development, as opposed to sprawling suburban and rural residential development, is far preferable from the standpoint of economic and environmental sustainability. The Municipal Plan does contemplate unserviced residential development, however, it does so only in appropriate areas of the City. The subject site is not appropriate for a number of reasons including the surrounding existing land uses, the potential for water quality and quantity issues and environmental constraints including wetlands and watercourses. While neither the City's Municipal Plan and Zoning By-law nor the Provincial Guidelines for resource extraction activities explicitly deal with the current situation where a proposed residential development is within the required separation distance from an existing pit and quarry, policies recommended in the Aggregate Resource Strcitegv do. One of the Stu°ateg ,v recommended policies (which was not included in the Municipal Plan amendment) states that the City should 147 Kevin Steele - Jovin Construction Ltd. 783 Hillcrest Road Page 12 Februarv 2(_), 2(_)(_)9 recognize the economic importance of aggregate resource development and undertake to preserve known reserves of significance by identifying these areas as "Aggregate Resource Areas" and establishing "a buffer along the boundary of areas identified as `Aggregate Resource Areas' to restrict the encroachment of non-compatible development" (note: emphasis added by staff). The mineral, sand and gravel resources provided by operations such as the "Ping Pong Pond" pit and quarry and the Debly pit are essential for the development and maintenance of infrastructure in the City. The encroachment of new residential development so close to existing pits and quarries is considered premature and could threaten both the existence of these operations and the quality of life for potential residents of the subdivision. The Abbreviated Wciter,Sul)ly ,Source Assessment clearly indicates the potential for wells in the proposed subdivision to encounter issues regarding water quantity and quality. While the consultant has indicated that deeper wells, water storage methods and treatment systems could deal with many of these issues, the long-term feasibility of these options and the cumulative impact of on-going development in this area on the water resource have not been contemplated. Continents from the Department of Environment indicate that the subject site is constrained by both watercourses and wetland areas, two of which have not been dealt with in the submitted subdivision plans. These unresolved issues also contribute to the inadvisability of the proposed development on this site. Given the above concerns, it is recommended that this application to rezone and develop a portion of the properties at 783 Hillcrest Road be denied. It is further recommend that fixture residential development in close proximity to pit and quarry operations not be approved until such time as the existing operations have ceased and the sites have been rehabilitated. The City of Saint John contains more than sufficient undeveloped land in serviceable areas to preclude the need to develop unsustainable, unserviced subdivisions located in close proximity to resource extraction industries.

To whom it may concern, 5016-674-2555 p.1 `=y w° ij FEB 12 20 We are registering our objection to the proposed rezoning of 1'lD 55153588 at 1989 Manawagonish Road. Reasons for the objection: 1, The City's Strategic flan has this and the surrounding area designated "Residential". We zi-re det eloping the surrounding area for occupanc-Y consisting of Singh Family Units and Tmv n House (Carden home) Lmits valued upwards.from $250,000. Development of the motel or other commercial enterprise -,vould be inconsistent with development in the surrounding area and -would have the potential to negatively affect these values. 3, Prior to cotnnlencing our development, we were advised by the city's Municipal Planning Departmer i, tine existing motel area had been inherited by the city through a.r_~algamation and that the operatlon, was "grand fathered", ineaning the current owners could continue to operate the motel but would not be able to upgrade the prerriises or do any rn3jor renovations. Through our rr UtUal agreement with the property owner, upon our purchase of adjacent properties], the motel business was to cease operations within a year and did so. Sincec.e that agreement was made, the motel units haN e fallen into extensive disrepair. (Siding, p.lurnbing and electrical have been removed which Implies the interior has been substantially compromised.) In our opinion, granting rezoning would imply permission to do upgrades and renovations or build new.. 4. The ariits lack acceptable waste (sewage) disposal, Cui ently they have a septic system employing a tank(s) and fic€d(s). A portion of these are on our property and wi11 soon be rernoved_ Since there is no sets.<a.ge pipeline along that portion of Manavvagonish load, that would imply Jicy will ha-ve to find another alternative and we believe site ]imitations would prevent any other a] tenative. Tn summary, the application is contrary to the, city's proposed land use, con-Eicts Witt, our development, has time potential to Jeopardize our sales; and is cn-6ronmentalIyaunffiendly. Therefore we strongly appose the application. rc.speaf1illy.

I reside with my family in Fundy View Estates, and built my home with the understanding that the motel would cease operations for good. When we built in here 5 yrs ago, we were told that the motel would soon be closing, and it did within a year or so. We have built quality, upscale homes here on the West Side and reopening this motel will affect our property values. The development has been growing steadily, and we take pride that we have a `country setting' within the city. I know I am not alone in saying that I do not want the motel to become operational once again. Not to mention that the motel has become quite an eyesore, as the siding has been stripped, open areas exist around the building and so on. I have been under the impression that the surrounding areas would one day become a part of this subdivision, as it grew overtime. I feel that the rezoning of the above property contradicts city planning for the area. Regards, Stephanie Wilcox 11 Day Drive Saint John, NB E2M 7W6 LIAX Ott kA &ru- MY RECENM 172 MELVIN L.

P. 0. Box 1971 Saint John, N. B. E2L 4H1 Attention: Elizabeth Gormley Common Clerk Dear Madam: Re: 1989 Manawagonish Road We are in receipt of your information regarding the application for rezoning of the aforementioned property and have noted its contents. We are owners of residential property located at 8 Day Drive since 2001. At the time of purchase; Stillman Wilcox of Fundy View Estates assured us this property (1989 Manawagonish Road) would be demolished and the lands used for residential purposes. With this assurance; we proceeded with purchase of our property.. Should this application be approved: we are sitting next to a commercial business. This should not be permitted for the following reasons: (1) Devaluing of all homes in Fundy View Estates. (2) Extra noise from trucks entering and exiting all times of day and night. (3) Traffic congestion at Gault Road interchange. (4) False and misleading information given at time of purchase. We trust you will understand and respect our concerns in this matter. Yours truly, LINDA MAWHNNEY " 1;7 MELVIN MAWHINNEY 173 Tibbits, Kell From: Gormley, Elizabeth Sent; Wednesday, February 18, 2009 2:14 PM To: Tibbits, Kelly Subject: FW: Re zoning on Manawagonish Road Kelly, would you please see that this gets with the appropriate zoning? Tks. From: Mary-Ellen Costello [mailto:marycost@nbnet.nb.ca] Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2009 2:10 PM To: Gormley, Elizabeth Subject: Re zoning on Manawagonish Road This letter is in opposition to the re zoning or the old Anchor Light Motel, located at the end of Manawagonish Road. This property has been vacant for a number of years and would take considerable work to make it usable. When it was operational in the past it was not kept in good repair. We own a house in Fundy View Estates, below the said motel. Our home is valued over $360,000., and most homes there and others being constructed are of this value as well. We do not agree with this motel reopening. We believe this is a residential area and the addition of this type of business will decrease the value and appeal of our subdivision. There are no businesses around us to attract the clientele that a successful hotel would require to survive and thrive. We would' like to see the motel torn down and that property become part of our subdivision which we believe was the original' plan.

REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL M & C --2009-32 February 10, 2009 His Worship Mayor Ivan Court and Members of Common Council Your Worship and Councillors: ~o ,o . City of Saint John SUBJECT: Sale of Portion of King Street East (Pending Approval of Street Closure) to Carol Ann Milne BACKGROUND: Common Council, at its meeting of January 19, 2008 considered a report (M & C #2009-09) and adopted the recommendation to initiate the stop-up and closure of two small portions of King Street East. The Public Hearing is scheduled to be held at the February 16th, 2009 meeting of Common Council. The purpose for the street closure and subsequent conveyance of these slivers of land is to remove existing building encroachments onto the street right-of-way. City Engineering has no objection to this request to close these two slivers, as illustrated on the attached survey plan. The total cost to the proponent to acquire the parcels would be $3,217.00 plus H.S.T. (pending approval of stop-up and closure). The above noted purchase price includes costs associated with the regulatory process of stopping-up portions of street right-of-ways; including the cost of translation and advertising. The survey work was completed by the proponent. The per square metre price that City staff normally associate with the value of the property was not followed in this instance as the area of the property to be sold is minimal. Instead, Real Estate Services have included a $1,000.00 cost to be assessed as an administrative cost for facilitating the street closure. The recommendation contained below has incorporated a sale price that includes all the costs noted above. RECOMMENDATION: 1. That in the event that the two (2) portions of King Street East (2.1 square metres and 0.4 square metres) are stopped-up and closed, The City of Saint John sell its fee simple interest therein to Carol Ann Milne for $3,217.00 plus HST (if applicable) on or before May 29, 2009. 196 That the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to sign any documents required to finalize the transfer.

In further advancement of these principles, I believe that the missing ingredient is that as policy any matter considered in closed session of council must require a certain period of time of public vetting once the matter under consideration in closed session is determined ready for consideration in open session. This accomplishes the matter of the public digesting the issue, understanding and voicing approval or disapproval. This process would be akin to the processes of Federal and Provincial governments wherein most orders of business are undertaken by bills which require the parliamentary procedures of 3 readings (and in the case of Federal Government the vetting of the senate). The municipal government of Saint John does have a process for 3 readings and involving public hearings, however it is restricted to land use change. Other than public hearings, for the most part Council does engage the public through the very nature of its agenda with items published on the open session of the agenda in advance of the meeting. However, in terms of transition of business matters from closed to open sessions there appears to be a gap. Council does have the prerogative to create policy to introduce procedures that ensure a thorough public vetting of any matter it chooses - possibly an addition to the Council Rules of Procedure could accomplish this. If Council were to undertake this process, avoided would be the instances of matters brought down from closed session and placed on the open agenda, typically in the same evening-sometimes vaguely or briefly worded - and leaving little room for public vetting or scrutiny. The argument of timeliness, in terms of urgency of the matter should not be used, as good public process should never be sacrificed for expediency. One can understand why the public may feel obfuscated. I do not want to insinuate that matters previously handled in this fashion have been purposeful for avoiding possible public objections however, problems do arise when the public feels that accountability and transparency have not been carried out. Through the public process, Council will know if it got it right, if it needs tweaking, or if it has completely missed the mark __1 N SAINT JOHN P.O.

Stephen Chase Deputy Mayor 201 ~_J _ o. Y The city of Saint John February 25, 2009 His Worship Mayor Ivan Court and Members of Common Council Your Worship and Fellow Councillors, Subject: Winter Services Funding - Streets and Sidewalks Background: On February 12, Mr. Groody, the Commissioner of Municipal Operations presented Common Council with an action plan and policy document regarding snow removal operations. He listed 10 factors for review, one of which was `resource allocations' with a particular recommendation for establishing a contingency funding mechanism. He stated, `operations should not be unduly restricted or services limited by the severity of weather conditions. In fact it is at those times that services are need most. Building in contingency funding should be part of every budget process.' I strongly support the consideration by Common Council of incorporating a contingency funding mechanism for winter services in the operating budget. This could be an annual allocation from anticipated surpluses, a formal reserve fund or some other model. Such a mechanism would ensure that needed services are provided without an adverse impact on the budget or tax rate. Resolution: That Common Council direct the Commissioner of Finance to recommend the ways and means in which an appropriate reserve/contingency funding mechanism can be established for winter services.

Within urban change initiatives, the economic sustainability of neighbourhoods is sometimes overlooked or one of the last phases to begin, it is very pleasing to see from an urban change standpoint that this new partnership is discussing economic opportunities with key neighbourhood representatives early in this urban change movement. I' look forward to continued positive interactions with this new partnership. Motion: That this report be received for information. Respectfully submitted, Peter McGuire 5v SAINT" TORN P:C. Box 1971 Saint John, NB Canada F2L 4L1 I w wwsaintjohn.ca C.P.1971 Saint John, N.-B. Canada F.2L 4L1 203 REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL OPEN SESSION M & C 2009 - 56 February 26, 2009 His Worship Mayor Ivan Court And Members of Common Council Your Worship and Councillors SUBJECT: BORROWING RESOLUTION BACKGROUND: The Bank of Nova Scotia has requested certain resolutions to be passed by Common Council to formalize the line of credit with the City. Council normally passes the required resolutions during the first part of the year. The Bank requires the appropriate resolutions for 2009. ANALYSIS: The City has a $16,250,000 line of credit with the Bank of Nova Scotia. This amount represents $4,250,000 for general operating purposes and $12,000,000 for bridge financing on capital expenditures. The calculation of the line of credit for operating purposes is outlined in the Municipalities Act and is set at a maximum of 4% of the operating budget. Based on the City's 2009 operating budget the maximum the City could borrow for operating purposes is $5,077,598. It is proposed to seek approval from the bank to set the operating line of credit at $5,000,000. With respect to the bridge financing for capital expenditures, as a result of the magnitude of the City's capital programs, it is proposed to increase this credit from the current level of $12,000,000 to $25,000,000. It is most unlikely that actual borrowings will reach these combined levels, but it would be prudent to have these credit limits in place as a precautionary measure. 204 M & C 2009 - 56 February 26, 2009 PAGE TWO RECOMMENDATIONS: It is recommended that for general operating purposes: 1. That the Commissioner of Finance is hereby authorized to borrow, on behalf of the City of Saint John (the Corporation), from the Bank of Nova Scotia (the Bank) from time to time by way of promissory note, a sum or sums not exceeding at any one time five million dollars ($5,000,000) to meet current expenditures of the Corporation for the year 2009; 2. That any two of the Commissioner of Finance, the Deputy City Manager, Comptroller or Assistant Comptroller are hereby authorized to sign on behalf of the Corporation and to furnish to the Bank from time to time a promissory note or notes sealed with the corporate seal for the sum or sums so borrowed with interest at such rate as the bank may from time to time determine; 3. That the Commissioner of Finance is hereby authorized and directed to furnish to the Bank at the time of each borrowing and at such other times as the Bank may from time to time request, a statement showing the nature and amount of the estimated revenues of the current year not yet collected or where the estimates for the year have not been adopted, a statement showing the nature and amount of the estimated revenues of the Corporation as set forth in the estimates adopted for the next preceding year and also showing the total of any amounts borrowed in the current year and in any preceding year that have not been repaid, and 4. That the Commissioner of Finance is hereby authorized and directed to apply in payment of all sums borrowed from the Bank, with interest thereon, all of the monies hereafter collected or received on account or realized in respect of the taxes levied for the current year and for any preceding years and all of the monies collected or received from any other source. 5. That for the purposes of bridge financing on Capital Expenditures, that the City of Saint John establish a revolving term loan to bridge finance capital expenditures to a maximum of $25,000,000 and the Commissioner of Finance be authorized to borrow from the Bank to the specified limit, and 205 M & C 2009 - 56 February 26, 2009 PAGE THREE RECOMMENDATIONS (CONT'D.) 6. That any two of the Commissioner of Finance, the Deputy City Manager, Comptroller or Assistant Comptroller are hereby authorized to sign on behalf of the Corporation and to furnish to the Bank from time to time a promissory note or notes sealed with the corporate seal for the sum or sums so borrowed with interest at such rate as the Bank may from time to time determine, and 7. That any two of the Commissioner of Finance, the Deputy City Manager, Comptroller or Assistant Comptroller are hereby authorized to sign on behalf of the Corporation and to furnish to the Bank an Agreement or Agreements under the seal of the Corporation providing for payment to the Bank of all amounts required to be paid by the Bank pursuant to each promissory note of the Corporation guaranteed by the Bank with interest at such rate as the Bank may from time to time determine and of a guarantee fee in respect of each such promissory note at such rate as the Bank may from time to time determine.

Since this date, the building has been left unsecured at the rear, thereby allowing persons to trespass within the building to their danger. A portion of the roof has collapsed and this is allowing the elements to penetrate the interior of the stricture, contributing to its deterioration. The interior of the building is in ruin and many of the windows contain loose and broken glass. At present, the condition of the building poses a safety hazard to the public by reason of dilapidation and unsoundness of structural strength. For these reasons, the property owner was issued a Notice to Comply to the Saint John Unsightly Premises and Dangerous Buildings By-law on December 17, 2008. This Notice described the conditions that are not in compliance with the By-law and provided options for remedial actions, including repair of the stricture to an acceptable standard or demolition. Mr. Yang Fu, director of the company 639766 NB Ltd. that owns the property, applied for a hearing to appeal the Notice to Comply. The hearing was held before the Saint John Substandard Properties Appeal Committee on January 27, 2009 at which time Mr. Fu presented the Committee with his reasons as to why no action has been taken with respect to the building. At the time of the hearing, Mr. Fu had no firm plans for the stricture's demolition. However, he did make the Committee aware of his inquires into the cost of demolition and as well, his future intent to demolish the stricture in March or April of 2009. Mr. David Crawford, P. Eng. represented the City of Saint John at the hearing and presented evidence to the Committee as to the conditions that prompted the issuance of a Notice to Comply. On February 9, 2009, the Saint John Substandard Properties Appeal Committee provided their written decision with respect to the hearing and this document was 207 M & C 2009 - -58 -2- Febman- 26, 2009 served to Mr. Yang Fu on February 10, 2009. The Committee upheld the Notice to Comply, and thereby, upheld the required remedial actions and compliance date of January 17, 2009. The property owner had the right to appeal this decision to the Court of Queen's Bench on or before February 24, 2009 however, no appeal was received. The _Uisraicihalities Act indicates that where a Notice to Comply has been issued arising out of a condition where a building has become a hazard to the safety of the public by reason of dilapidation or unsoundness of structural strength, the municipality may cause the structure to be demolished. As required in the Act, reports from Pamela Bentley, P. Eng., Technical Services Engineer and David Crawford, P. Eng., Deputy Building Inspector and from Divisional Chief Kevin Clifford are attached and provide evidence to the building's dilapidated and structurally unsound condition. Also attached for Council's reference is the Notice to Comply that was issued, the written decision of the Saint John Substandard Properties Appeal Committee and recent photographs of the building. As it is written in the Act that a municipality must commence in the proceedings of remedial action, approval of Common Council is required prior to starting demolition activities at this property. The cost of demolishing the structure is estimated to be less than $25,000.00 and could be completed within the next 4 weeks. As provided in the Act, the cost of the remedial actions will be billed to the property owner. RECOMMENDATION Your City Manager recommends that Common Council authorize staff to take the necessary actions to have the building at 132 Lansdowne Avenue demolished. Respectfi lly submitted, Amy Poffenroth, P. Eng., MBA Terrence Totten, CA Deputy Commissioner City Manager Buildings and Inspection Services Wm. Edwards, P. Eng. Commissioner Buildings and Inspection Services 208 INSPYCTION RETORT 132 Lansdowne Avenue Saint John, NB PID # 371062 Schedule "A" RE : Dangerous Building Investigation An inspection of the above-noted building was conducted on November 21, 2008 by Pamela Bentley, P. Eng. The following observations were noted : The building on the property is a one and a half storey, wood frame structure with a rear single storey ell. The building is close in proximity to the commercial structure on the right and the residential home on the left. At the front center portion of the building the roof has collapsed due to fire damage. There are also holes in the roof at the far right front over the garage. The main door to the structure, at the center of the building, is secured from entry as it is covered in plywood. Plywood is also used to cover the central window to the immediate right of the main door and the far left front door, The large window to the immediate left of the main door has a shattered pane of glass. At the rear of the building, several of the window panes are broken and the shattered glass is both lying on the ground and hanging in the window frames. The rear doors at several locations are open and the structure is easily accessible to anyone wishing to tresspass within the building. At the rear second storey, the central portion of the structure is fire damaged and the windows and door in this location have broken glass within the frames. The interior ceiling of this portion of the building has fallen. Without entering the building, it can be seen that the interior is extensively damaged. The wining has been torn from the walls at several points and there is shattered glass in numerous windows of the building. Debris and materials litter the interior floor area and these would pose a tripping and safety hazard for anyone entering the structure. The fire damage to the roof has left it structurally unsound and as a result, portions of the roof could further collapse if a snow or wind load were applied with sufficient force. Entry into the building, either through tresspassing or for reasons of providing emergency services (police, fire or ambulance) is unsafe. The building is both structurally unsound and dilapidated in present condition. Tresspassmg nearby the building is also unsafe due to the debris of shattered glass and other materials.

Box 1971 Saint John, NB E2L 4L1 Dear Ms. Bentley: RE: Information Request for Building at 132 Lansdowne Avenue The building at 132 Lansdowne Avenue is now unoccupied and in a dilapidated state of repair. The building suffered significant fire damage on May 2 2008, and as of this date no repairs have been undertaken on the fire damaged building. From a fire response standpoint, this is a vacant and dilapidated structure with significant structural integrity problems, that present a major fire risk; both from the perspective of fire probability (almost a certainty) as well as being a hazard to the neighbouring properties, citizens, and firefighters if indeed the property does burn again. The structural integrity concerns are not limited to fire situations and indeed the building could be a collapse hazard for anybody in the area of the property. As part of the Saint John Fire Department's pre-planning and risk assessment activities; the property at 132 Lansdowne Avenue has been predetermined to be a defensive operation; however there is always the possibility that interior operations are required to mitigate a rescue of someone, who for whatever reason is in the building. A rescue attempt within this structure would be extremely dangerous to firefighters, as a building collapse is imminent. Thank you for you efforts in addressing the hazards inherent to this property. If I can be of any other assistance, please give me a call.

Appellant -and- THE CITY OF SAINT JOAN, NEW BRUNSWICK Respondent Parcel Identifier Number: 371062 Parcel Address: 132 Lansdowne Avenue Owner: 639766 N.B. Ltd. Decision of the Saint John Substandard Ameal Committee 214 2 The Appellant, 639766 N.B. Ltd., appeals a Notice to Comply issued by the Municipal Officer of the City of Saint John on the 5a` day of December, 2008. The Notice to Comply indicates the building located at 132 Lansdowne Avenue has become a hazard to the safety of the public by reasons of dilapidation and unsoundness of structural strength and contravenes the Saint John Unsightly Premises and Dangerous By-Law number M- 30. The Notice requires the owner to remedy the situation within a period of thirty (30) days from the serving of the Notice to Comply. 2. The appeal was heard on the 27t` day of January, 2009. 3. The Appellant was represented by Mr. Yang Fu and Ms. Homg-Yam Huang, who are the owners and shareholders of the corporate Appellant. 4. The position of the City of Saint John was presented by Mr. David Crawford, City Deputy Building Inspector. 5. Mr. Fu identified the Notice of Appeal, File No. 003-2009, dated December 23, 2008 and marked as Exhibit 1, as the appeal upon which he was proceeding. Mr. Crawford identified the Notice to Comply dated the 5th day of December, 2008 and marked as Exhibit 2, as the subject matter of the appeal. 6. Mr. Fu advised that he wished to proceed in the English language. 7. The Notice of Appeal of 639766 N.B. Ltd. states that "The notice of thirty days is not enough time to complete the work due to the Christmas holiday and the New Year" and that the Appellant has scheduled a project to begin early in 2009, to demolish the old building and build a "four-Alex". The Notice of Appeal also indicates that following the holidays the Appellant intends to apply for a permit to demolish the building on the property and for a building permit. 215 3 8. Mr. Fu and Ms. Huang affirmed their testimony. Mr. Fu stated that he had bought the property in question in October of 2008. The structure on the property had sustained extensive fire damage prior to the purchase and the former owner had initially indicated that he was going to demolish the structure. The former owner then changed his mind and decided to sell the property "as is". The Appellant purchased the property with the intention of demolishing the damaged structure and building four townhouses on the site. Mr. Fu provided a plan of the proposed new structure, which was marked as Exhibit 3. 9. Mr. Fu stated that he had attempted to retain the services of a contractor to complete the demolition. He testified that it took him approximately one month to obtain a quote, The first contractor quoted $26,000 to do the work, which Mr. Fu found too high. The second contractor quoted $24,500 which Mr. Fu was also concerned was too high. By the time these quotes were obtained, Mr. Fu indicated he was advised that the demolition of the foundation could not occur until warmer weather, as it would damage the equipment of the contractors. Mr. Fu stated he then began to consider a new plan and contacted additional persons to try and make other arrangements. Mr. Fu stated that he wished to hire Chiasson Construction to complete this work. He understood the cost would be in the range of $15,000 to $20,000, but the work could not be completed by Chiasson Construction until March or April 2009. Mr. Fu explained that he made further inquiries and was advised it was possible to have just the upper portion of the structure demolished and leave the foundation to be demolished in warmer weather. Mr, Fu indicated he had a quote for $9,000 to have this work completed, but he has not been able to obtain a commitment from the contractor as to when. the work could actually be completed. Mr. -Fu stated it was difficult to find people to do the work, particularly through the holiday period and as well into the Chinese holiday period, which had just concluded. Mr. Fu asked that he be provided with a longer period of time, hopefully until March or early April 2009 to have the work completed. 10. Ms. Huang stated that after the property was purchased by the Appellant they made arrangements to have the natural gas disconnected. She testified that they had spoken to 216 4 a real estate acquaintance who had indicated that the probable cost of demolishing the structure should be in the maximum range of $20,000. 11. Mr. David Crawford provided sworn testimony on behalf of the City of Saint John. He identified a series of photographs marked as Exhibit d, which show the condition of the structure that led to the issuance of the Notice to Comply. In describing each of the nine photographs, Mr. Crawford outlined the City's concern with respect to the extensive damage to the structure. The photographs indicate extensive damage to the roof of the structure, several windows have broken glass and the structure is not adequately secured and may easily be entered. 12. Mr. Crawford testified that the fire had occurred in May of 2008 and that notices were given to the former owner to remedy the situation in May of 2008 and again in July of 2008. The City is concerned regarding vandalism and is also concerned that the roof has shown further indication of collapse. Mr. Crawford confirmed that no permits had been applied for by the Appellant to date. He stated that he has not had personal contact with the current owner. Mr. Crawford stated that he thought the demolition, at least of the upper part of the structure above the foundation, could be completed and the debris removed in a period of two days. He testified there would be at least three contractors, of which he is aware, who would be capable of completing this work. He did advise that the demolition of the foundation could wait until the spring, provided any -danger to the public is rectified. 13. In reply, Mr. Fu questioned whether plywood could be used to cover all of the openings and thereby deny access to the structure to the public. He further questioned if he removed the specific items that were worrying the City whether that would be satisfactory leaving the additional work to be completed later. In response Mr. Crawford expressed concern with respect to the glass in and around the building, the extent of the security that could be provided by boarding up the property, and the ability or lack of ability to, secure the roof. 217 5 14. Ruling Section 190.02(1)(4) of the Municipalities Act provides that the Appeal Committee: "may confirm, modify or rescind the notice [to comply] or extend the time for complying with the notice." 15. The Committee has adopted provisions governing the procedure and operation of the Saint John Substandard Property.Appeal Committee. Section H(5) states: "H(5) the Appeal Committee shall when making its decision in an appeal involving allegedly unsightly premises, give due consideration to the following: (a) whether the items involved are enumerated in subsection 190.01(1) of the Municipalities Act; (b) the location from which the items involved are clearly visible; (c) the location and use of the property; (d) any representations and evidence presented in support of the notice that is being appealed; and (e) any representations and evidence presented by the appellant or his counsel." 16. No issue has been raised in this appeal with respect to the proper application of any by- law, nor has any issue been taken with the fact that the structure on the property must be demolished. The Appellant has not contended that there has been any violation or mis- application of the Saint John Unsightly Premises and Dangerous Buildings By-Law in the issuing of the Notice to Comply. 17. Section 190.01(1) of the Municipalities Act states: "No person shall permit premises owned or occupied by him or her to be unsightly by permitting to remain on any part of such premises (a) any ashes, junk, rubbish or refuse, (b) an accumulation of wood shavings, paper, sawdust or other residue of production or construction, (c) a derelict vehicle, equipment or machinery or the body or any part of a vehicle, equipment or machinery, or (d) a dilapidated building." 18. Section 190.01(2) of the Municipalities Act states: 218 6 "No person shall permit a building or structure owned or occupied by him or her to become a hazard to the safety of the public by reason of dilapidation or unsoundness of structural strength." 19. The Saint John Unsightly Premises and Dangerous Building By-Law, number M-30 adopts sections 190.001 to 190.07 of the Municipalities Act, c. M-22, as a By-Law. 20. The Appeal Committee is satisfied that the building located at 132 Lansdowne Avenue is a dilapidated building within the meaning of Section 190.01(l)(d) of the Municipalities Act and therefore By-Law Number M-30. 21. The photographs provided show that the location of the building is clearly visible to the public and that the building is in close proximity to a neighbouring building. 22. The representations and evidence presented by the City of Saint John in support of the Notice to Comply demonstrate a clear violation of the Saint John Unsightly Premises and Dangerous Buildings By-Law No. M-30, and the building is considered by the Appeal Committee to be dangerous in its current state. The Appeal Committee is sympathetic to the Appellant who acquired this property only in late October of 2008. However, the property was severely damaged at that time and the Appellant knew or ought to have known it had to be demolished immediately for safety reasons. 23. - It is the opinion of the Appeal Committee that the Appellant has had adequate time and opportunity to remedy the breach of the by-law by completing the demolition, at least to a state that satisfies safety concerns. The Committee recognizes that the issue of an extension of time relates to an extension of time subsequent to a formal Notice to Comply being issued. The formal Notice to Comply in this case was issued on December 5, 2008, following a dangerous building investigation being conducted on November 21, 2008 by Pamela Bentley, P. Eng. and reviewed by David Crawford, P. Eng. on December 4, 2008. The inspection report satisfies the Committee of the dangerous nature of the building and, as sympathetic as the Appeal Committee may be to the position of the Appellant, it is the 219 decision of the Appeal Committee that the Notice to Comply must be and is hereby confirmed. 24. The Appellant would be well advised to communicate directly with the officers at the City of Saint John to ensure the work required is completed to the satisfaction of the officers. q~ DATED at Saint John, New Brunswick this l day of February, 2009.
