13(c) Committee of the Whole Report - Proposed Brunswick Pipeline Route
through Rockwood Park
Consideration was given to a report from the City Solicitor regarding the proposed
Brunswick Pipeline Route through Rockwood Park. During comments being made by
Councillor Ferguson when stating," ...1 hope the Mayor and Mr. Manning, President of
the Board of Trade, would have done the job right as I urged at the time of the last
motion, instead of being critical", the Mayor raised a point of order asking why the
Councillor was saying that the Mayor and Mr. Manning did it wrong, and explained that
the Mayor does not make the decisions, but that all of Council does. The Mayor asked
the Councillor to retract that statement, which was not done.
The City Manager asked for clarification on Councillor Ferguson's reference to a legally
binding document, saying that he was not aware of a legally binding document which
was presented to Council which would layout the relationship between the Horticultural
Association and the City of Saint John and any request for the Pipeline to go through
Rockwood Park. He added that before proceeding with a request for legislative
changes, Council is asked for direction, and that was done in this case. Mr. Totten

Your Worship and Councillors :
Pl~ase be advised that, effective immediately, I am withdrawing my n,.ame for
reappointment to the Saint John Energy Board of Commissioners.
There has been, most unfortunately, somebody who alerted the press about the
reappointment process. I will state simply that to do so was not in the best interests
of the taxpayers/ratepayers of the City of Saint John and I will not be drawn into
any public'debate at this time.
In furtherance of this stated position, I would respectfully request that the
political realities of our utility's very existence be thoroughly discussed by all
members of Common Council and all senior staff. Additionally, I would again
resp'ectively request that Common Council and the Saint John Energy Board of
Commissioners meet as soon as possible, in Committee of the Whole, "ror the
purposes of discussing the merits of our public utility and discussing how a
cooperative relationship can best serve the interests of our taxpayers/ratepayers.
In closing, I wish to sincerely thank the City of Saint John and the Saint John
Energy Board of Commissioners for the distinct privilege of having served on the
Commission Board and as Chair. I also wish to sincerely thank all the staff at Saint
J

To Mayor and Council
City of Saint John
January 17, 2007
As per our contractual agreement, we submit our income statement for 2006.
We are al50 submitting our proposed budget to operate Mispec Park for the 2007 season.
We were very fortunate to have received funding for 6 students for the past year, three
from both the Provincial and Federal Government
With the extra help, we were able to restain all the picnic shelters, observation decks,
stairs, benches and picnic tables
We did encounter an increase in vandalism and break and enter last year and this
resulted in our having to hire a sub contractor to repair or replace damaged items.
We were able to build two more bridges and a boardwalk and made improvements
along many of the trails.
If we compared the canteen revenue received during the past two years, then visitors
to the park in 2006 increased by 42% over 2005.
We are again asking council to provide us with a grant of $24.100.00 to operate
Mispec Park for the upcoming season.
Yours Truly,
~~~

The purpose of this report is to seek Council's approval to pay the
maintenance fees in 2007 and in future years
ANAL YSIS
The agreement with HTE Inc., originally approved by Council in 1998,
provides for the City to pay annual maintenance fees. In return, HTE
provides the City with regular application updates and enhancements along
with support on an 'as needed' basis.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The fees for 2007 are $109,863 and funds are provided in the 2007 Operating
Budget to cover these costs.
This will be a recurring cost as long as the City continues to maintain an
agreement with HTE. The annual fees normally increase by a percentage
reflective of HTE's cost of doing business and are reviewed by staff before
payment.

Appendix A
Aliant / City of Saint John Service Demarcation Points
Demarcation points are required to adequately differentiate where the responsibilities lay for the various
support groups that may be associated with the overall maintenance of a particular system. Within a
Centracom Gold Elite Dispatch system, many such demarcation points are required. Since several groups
and/or companies may be involved with the maintenance of such systems, demarcation points become
very important to ensure swift and timely remedies to any faults as they occur.
Several major components make up the City of Saint John's Radio Dispatch system. These are as
follows:
1 911 Telephones and Specialized Telephone Hardware (DEES, etc.)
2 Telephone Lines, Channel Banks, and 911 Switching Equipment
3 Interface between Telephones and Radio Dispatch Equipment
4 Dispatch Central Electronics Bank (CEB)
5 Dispatch Console Interface Electronics (CIE)
6 Dispatch PC Hardware (CPU, Monitor, Mouse, etc.)
7 Dispatch PC Software (Windows XP Operating System, Centracom s/w, etc.)
8 Other Software Components (Alias Database Manager (ADM), Console Database Manager
(CDM), Elite Dispatch, and Elite Admin.)
9 Dispatch System Elite LAN
10 Digital Audio Logging System
11 Console Position Furniture
12 Wiring Harness(s) in Furniture
13 UPS Powering Systems and Circuits
14 Cable Management
15 Spare Component Management
16 Radio Sites
17 Customer Owned Fixed Mobiles
18 User Terminal Equipment (Portables, Mobiles, Antennas, etc.)
With many complex systems when a fault occurs, it is not always obvious which component or subsystem
has created the fault. In consideration of this the City of Saint John shall make every effort to first
determine the fault does not lie within their responsibilities before calling Aliant.
All responsibilities and demarcation points outlined within this section are for the duration of the contract
and do not extend past its expiration date.
The following table in Appendix A contains the demarcation points associated with these major
components:

SUBJECT:
MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH ALlANT TELECOM
PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS CENTRE
BACKGROUND
In May, 2005 Common Council approved an agreement with Aliant Telecom to
perform a number of upgrades to the telecommunications equipment within the
Public Safety Communications Centre. This work was part of overall renovations
and upgrades being completed to the PSCC. The work was completed in the fall
of 2005.
The purpose of this report is to receive Council's approval of an agreement with
Aliant related to the maintenance of the telecommunications equipment within
the PSCC.
ANAL YSIS
The PSCC utilizes a complex system of computer hardware and software that
allows for the integration of radio, telephone and data communications at each
communications console. A significant portion of this equipment was installed
within the consoles by Aliant. Further, as part of the renovations the Central
Electronics Bank (CEB), that provides connectivity between the PSCC and the
Trunk Radio System, was replaced. The CEB is located within Aliant's facilities
on Union St.
Overall the equipment within the consoles and the CEB are critical to the
functioning of the PSCC. Failure of these components will directly impact the
ability of the PSCC to provide services to the various emergency service
providers and the public. As such, effective maintenance of the equipment is
important.
PDF created with pdfFactory trial version
Report to Common Council
February 26, 2007
Attached is a copy of a proposed agreement with Aliant related to the
maintenance of the equipment within each communications console and of the
CEB. This agreement formalizes an arrangement that has generally been
followed since the PSCC opened in 1995.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The annual cost associated with this agreement is $22,680. (plus HST).
Funds are provided in the Operating Budget to cover this expenditure.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that Common Council authorize the Mayor and Common
Clerk to execute the attached agreement with Aliant Telecom entitled'
Centracom Elite Gold Dispatch Console Maintenance Agreement' subject to
review as to form and content by the Legal Department.

ANALYSIS
In 2003, Municipal Operations & Engineering staff in consultation with Legal and
Purchasing staff undertook a comprehensive review of the City's policy for Construction
Contracts and associated General Specifications. On November 17, 2003 (M&C 2003-310),
Common Council adopted a new Tendering Policy for Construction Contracts that came
into effect January 1, 2004. The revisions included Division 2: Instructions to Tenderers
and Tendering Procedures; Division 4: Form of Tender; and Division 5: Form of
Agreement. Additionally, at the November 17, 2003 session of Common Council, Council
authorized that the Chief City Engineer may, from time to time, revise the technical
provisions (Divisions 7-30) of the General Specifications to reflect changes in technology
methods or construction industry practices.
Committed to providing an up-to-date municipal construction document and representing
the best interests of the City and taxpayers/ratepayers, staff recommended and Common
Council approved revisions to Division 6: General Administration of Contract on four
occasions: first on May 31, 2004 (M&C 2004-99), then again on February 28, 2005
(M&C 2005-50), March 29, 2005 (M&C 2005-96) and on January 15, 2007
(M&C 2007-08).
Between December 2006 and February 2007, Municipal Operations & Engineering
undertook its annual General Specifications review process, concluding with a set of 2007
revisions for the General Specifications. These revisions will be forwarded to stakeholders
(contractors, consultants, staff, etc.) near the end of February 2007 for use with all future
City of Saint John construction contracts. With each revision set, a cover letter will
accompany the distribution of the revisions to the General Specifications to remind
stakeholders that the City encourages the submission of comments and/or suggestions for
proposed revisions to the General Specifications document.
It is understood by stakeholders that the revised General Specifications are to be used in
conjunction with individual contract construction specifications and recognized authorities
governing best practices for municipal engineering.
Staff continues to have dialogue with representatives of the Saint John Construction
Association and local contractors to receive input from users of the documents. The
comments and suggestions received were reviewed by our staff Specifications Review
Committee and, where appropriate, revisions were incorporated into the technical divisions
of the General Specifications. One item raised by the local construction industry was the
allowable mark-up on additional work for construction contracts. Research into the
construction specifications of other jurisdictions - namely the Province of New Brunswick,
yielded that the mark-up of such additional work be increased from 10 to 15%.
This Division 6 revision was recommended by staff and adopted by Council on January 15,
2007 (M&C 2007-08). Another item addressed was the Payment Adjustment for Change in
Performance Graded Asphalt Binder Price. Following suit with other municipalities and the
Province of New Brunswick, this payment adjustment will aid in ensuring that the City
receives competitive pricing for the supply and placement of asphalt. This adjustment (on
PDF created with pdfFactory trial version
M & C 2007 - 34
February 22, 2007
Page 3
the asphalt binder price only) will be implemented when the price index for the month the
asphalt is placed differs by more than 10% from the price index for the month in which
tenders for the Contract were opened. If the price index between the two months increases
then the Contractor will receive additional payment to compensate for the increased cost of
asphalt binder. Conversely, if the price index between the two months decreases then the
City will receive a credit for the decrease in asphalt binder costs. In the past, the Contractor
has assumed all the risk with respect to the volatile asphalt binder prices. The inclusion of
this "payment adjustment" clause should result in lower tendered prices for asphalt.
The process to maintain an up-to-date specifications manual is one that is ongomg.
Stakeholders are encouraged to contribute their comments in writing at any time.
A copy of the up-to-date edition of the General Specifications manual will be maintained for
reference in the Common Clerk's office. When future revisions are made, updates will be
provided to the Common Clerk's office.

It is recommended that Common Council receive and file this report.

BACKGROUND:
On February 12,2007 Common Council scheduled a public hearing for Monday,
March 12,2007 to consider the above-noted application of The Hardman Group
Limited.
ANALYSIS:
The applicant has advised that it was not successful in obtaining the contract to
provide the proposed office space to its prospective major tenant. The applicant
has therefore requested that its application for Section 39 amendment now be
withdrawn. Given the applicant's request it would be appropriate to cancel the
scheduled public hearing on this matter.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Common Council accept the request of The Hardman Group Limited to
withdraw its application and cancel the March 12,2007 public hearing concerning
the proposed Section 39 amendment for Market Square.

SUBJECT: Traffic By-Law Amendment
Speed Limits - Millidge Avenue and Kennebecasis Drive
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this report is to amend the Traffic Bylaw to formalize the existing reduced speed
limit from 60 km/h to 50 km/h on Millidge Avenue between Kennebecasis Drive and University
Avenue and on Kennebecasis Drive from Millidge Avenue to the northern end of Beach
Crescent.
BACKGROUND:
Engineering and Police staff has received numerous requests from residents of Millidge Avenue
to address the high speeds of vehicles traveling on Millidge Avenue. Residents perceived an
increase in both the volume and speed of traffic on this street. The subject portions ofMillidge
Avenue and Kennebecasis Drive have a large number of residential homes with driveways and
there is a large number of children walking in the area. There have been serious crashes at
driveways in the recent past.
In early summer 2006, the Police Force requested the speed limit be reduced to 50 km/h on
Millidge Avenue between University Avenue and Kennebecasis Drive in the interests of safety.
The signs were installed in late summer of 2006. This was done under the authority of section
3( 1) of the Traffic Bylaw wherein the Chief of Police can, for safety reasons, order signs posted.
3(1) The Chief (?f Police may from time to time cause to be erected signs or
other devicesfor the pwpose (?f directing or regulating vehicular and pedestrian
traffic and may remove such signs or devices.

Traffic By-Law Amendment
Speed Limits - Millidge Avenue and Kel1llebecasis Drive
Febmary 16, 2007
Page 2
ANALYSIS:
Engineering staff has examined the area and concurs that traffic has increased in volume and that
speed is often an issue, particularly during the morning and evening hours. Crashes have
occurred north of Daniel Avenue when northbound cars have failed to see a vehicle slowing to
enter a driveway over the partially blind hill. Staff also looked at Kennebecasis Drive between
Millidge Avenue and the northern end of Beach Crescent and similar circumstances exist. There
are many driveways which create potential conflicts and curves which reduce visibility.
RECOMMENDA TION:
It is recommended that Common Council amend Schedule "M" of the Traffic Bylaw to reduce
the speed limit from 60 km/h to 50 km/h on Millidge Avenue between Kennebecasis Drive and
University Avenue and on Kennebecasis Drive between Millidge Avenue and the northern end
of Beach Crescent and further, that this bylaw amendment be referred to the City Solicitor to be
placed in proper form and translated.

Global COllntr~' of \\.'orld Peace
Sept 25t1!, 2006
Saint John, NB
The Global Country of World Peace was established by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in the fall of the
year 2000. Basically it is a country without borders for all the peace loving individuals of the
world. The Global country of W orId Peace will not be competing against any existing
government (municipal, provincial or national) by soliciting popular vote nor will it interfere with
any political system. The Global Country of World Peace will be playing a parental role by
unifying all nations in happiness, prosperity, invincibility, and perfect health, while supporting
the rich diversity of our world family.
Here in Canada the Global Country of World Peace was inaugurated on Sept 2005 and its main
office is situated in Huntsville, Ont. Up to this day over 140 countries have joined the Global
Country of World Peace in order to create a prevention oriented. problem free Administration for
each country respectively and collectively to bring Peace on Earth.
The establishment of the Global Country of World Peace is absolutely essential for the world
today. when time demands the rise of a peaceful power on Earth with such global strength that
destructive forces will vanish.
The sovereignty of the Global Country of World Peace is in the domain of consciousness. We
feel very grateful that in this Age Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has brought to light the eternal Vedic
Wisdom aud has completely restored the thousands of years-old scattered Vedic Literature for
the total significance of its theory and practice. and has organized it in the form of a complete
science of consciousness.
Yours truly,
Miville Couture

Saint John Peace Palace
As part of a global effort that has spanned the past 50 years, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has
announced a program to build Peace Palaces all over the globe in order to make his programs
of knowledge and personal enlightenment available to everybody.
The thinking behind this is both grand and practical. It's grand because each Peace Palace will
serve a population of 100,000 people, which means that we need 3,000 Peace Palaces around
the globe. It's practical because peace, world peace needs a home. Here in Canada the
Global Country of World Peace has budgeted for 40 Peace Palaces across our great nation and
we feel very fortunate that Saint John has received approval as one of the major cities where
such an event will be sprouting.
We already have an enormously established, built out, entrenched war ("defense")
infrastructure in almost every country in the world. But where are the institutions, the
economies, and the buildings dedicated to peace? They don't exist, not in significant numbers.
And why is that? Because peace is considered wishful thinking, while war is thought to be one
of the most practical pursuits possible.
And yet war causes nothing but destruction of families and societies, protecting, perhaps,
short-term interests and assets of one culture while destroying another's. But, over aU, war
does not create anything positive, least of all peace. It is a self-perpetuating, impractical
solution to societal and international problems that has never, ever, eliminated the need for
more war (see the new book (VictorY Before War: By Robert Keith Wallace, Ph.D. and Jay B.
Marcus ).
To a war-based culture, peace is simply the absence of war. But peace cannot be defined in
war terms. Peace, it turns out, is now optimizable. And the method of optimizing peace is
practical, within reach, and scientifically documented.
The demonstrated ability of the Transcendental Meditation program™ to reduce war and terror
incidents has been verified by intensive, repeated, statistically significant, juried, published
research. We now have a scientifically verified peace technology. That changes the idea of
peace-creation from wishful thinking to a dynamic, powerful, essential component of any
practical society.
Through building Maharishi Peace Palaces, we provide a home for teaching the TM programT'"
and other peace and enlightenment creating technologies that will systematically move
ourselves, our families, communities, nations, and the entire world into a state of peace that
is so profound that war cannot occur anywhere ever again.
The role of a Maharishi Peace Palace is to offer all of the peace creating programs described in
this package to help create peaceful, enlightened citizens in every community who,
collectively, will help to achieve our objective of a permanent state of world peace.
What is also important to note here is that whether we talk in terms of a Peace Palace or
about Transcendental Meditation that all this is not a new religion in the making that we are
proposing. The Global Country of World Peace does not belong to any religious denomination
and yet favors all religions and all cultures. What we are proposing are practical proven
programs derived from the ancient Vedic Sciences as interpreted to us by Maharishi Mahesh
Yogi. And these have demonstrated to work no matter where on earth and no matter what
belief systems involved.

Dear Mr. Maltais:
Re: Traffic Generation Estimate - Rezoning of PIDs 70392162 and 70392147
Further to our meeting yesterday, we have prepared a traffic generation estimate for the
proposed development of the Moncton Peace Palace on McLaughlin Drive. This letter
outlines our methodology for the traffic generation estimate and parking demand
calculation.
Traffic Generation
Traffic generation was estimated based on the forecast number of annual patrons. It is
estimated that annually, the facility will attract 692 clients for education related services,
and 2340 clients for health related seNices for an annual total of 3032 clients. The traffic
generation calculation is summarized below.
3032 Clients x 5 trips/client
+ 25% additional for staff and non.clients
Total
15,160 vehicle trips / year
3.790 vehicle tries / vear
18,950 vehicle trips I year
18,950 trips per year /365 days per year = 52 trips per day (1 person/vehicle)
Assuming that 10% of this demand will occur in the peak hour of the facility, provides a
pear. hour trip 990erati~n 91timate of 6 vehicl91lhour ent.ring or .:-titing tho tito, PO::lk
hours of traffic Aeneration are expected to occur on a weekday evenil'lQ between7PM
and 10PM and Saturdayaftemoon.
Parking
A total of 59 (56 regular, 3 mobility disabled) parking spaces are provided on the site
plan. This was based on a gross floor area of 945 square metres (10,170 square feet)
and a review of institutional and commercial parking requirements in the City of Moncton
Zoning By~Law.
We trust this provides the information required.

Your Unlimited Potential
The Transcendental Meditation technique is a simple, natural procedure to gain deep
rest- and contact that inner reservoir of creativity, energy and intelligence-to gain
its support in all you do and to enrich your life day by day.
Everyone can learn to practice the Transcendental Meditation technique successfully.
It's easy and enjoyable-just 20 minutes twice a day sitting comfortably with the
eyes closed. It requires no effort or concentration, no special skills or change of
lifestyle. You don't even have to believe that it works! Meditate regular1y twice a day
and you'll get results.
Restful Alertness
During the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique, the mind and body
settle down to experience a unique state of restful alertness. As the mind becomes
more silent, the body becomes deeply relaxed. At the most settled state of
awareness, the mind transcends all mental activity to experience the simplest form
of awareness, Transcendental Consciousness.
Scientific research has shown that the experience of Transcendental Consciousness is
correlated with greater creativity, improved learning, higher IQ, better grades,
higher moral reasoning, increased brainwave coherence, and improved neurological
functioning of the body.
The Transcendental Meditation technique is a practical, proven procedure for
developing more energy, creativity, and intelligence-for awakening the unlimited
potential of your mind and body and enjoying greater health, happiness, and success
in life.
The Transcendental Meditation technique Is simple, natural, effortless, profound,

"Transcendental Medihtion is like a daily vacation. It's a renewal for my body
and calms my mind. I do a lot of writing and speaking, and it has given me a flood of
creativity .
"I've always felt that the Transcendental Meditation technique was an aid to my
Christian growth. It never replaced my Christian growth, but it was an aid to it. In
fact, I decided to commit my life to Chri$tafter I'd been practicing Transcendental
Meditation for three months.
, ."i
.i,;j;
"~.III..,-".,~'...'''l
"1 would say to any Christian-to anyol"!e of a(lY religion-that Transcendental
Meditation would benefit your life. I~~, a simple process that requires no
belief. It is not a religion. There are so many tholights that clutter the mind, and
Transcendental Meditation Is like taking a bath-it's very cleansing and very
refreshing. "
-Rev. Dr. Craig Overmyer, a pastoral counselor in Indianllpolis, Indiana
"I wouldn't be able to fulfill my responsibilities as a rabbi to the level I expect
of myself without the Transcendental Meditation technique. I am better able to deal
with the stresses of being with the sick and the dying, and the pressures of funerals,
weddings, and bar mitzvahs because I have within me a considerable reservoir of
calm. I am able to walk into a tense situation and naturally settle people down. They
appreciate the ease and calm I bring to situations.
"But even more important, Transcendental Meditation has made me a better rabbi
because it has given me an experience and insight into the profound depths of life.
As a result, I am able to express a true depth of knowledge about my own tradition."
-Rabbi Alan Green of Seth Israel Symrgogue in WInnipeg, HlInitobiJ
The Transcendental Meditation technique is the most ancient. most effective, most
researched and most widely practiced system of meditation available in the world today.
Why It's Unique Among Meditation Techniques
The Transcendental Meditation program is unique because of its source,
practice, proof, and universality. These four attributes distinguish it from all
. other meditation techniques, systems of stress reduction, or programs for
personal development avaitable in the world today.
"1 think the most important quality for learning is alertness and receptivity-both in
class and while studying after school. I find TM refreshes my mind and body and
makes learning so much easier."
-Heather Hartnett, Student
A Timeless Tradition
The Transcendental MedItation technique comes from an ancient tradition of
knowledge-the Vedic tradition of India-that has stood the test of time as an
advanced science and technology of consdousness. The Vedic Tradition has carefully
maintained the purity of this practice fpr thousands of years, ensuring its
effectiveness for uS today.
An Effortless Practice
It is easy and enjoyable, bringing the mind to a silent yet fully awake state of
awareness-Transcendental Consciousness-the source of thought, the inner
reservoir of creativity, energy, and IntelliQence. Unlike other medItation techniques,
there is no concentration or contemplation, no effort to hold or control the mind.
Scientific Proof
Its effects and benefits have been document~d py more than 600 sdentlfic research
studies conducted at 200 universities and reseilrch institutions in 35 countries. The
Niltional Institutes of Health has contributed more than $21 million to verify the
benefits of the Transcendental Meditation technique. No other program for personal
development has received this level ()f attention. and respect from the sdenttflc
community.
Unive....1 Benefits
Anyone can practice the technique successfully-more than six million people have
learned worldwide. If you can think a thought, you can practice the Transcendental
Meditation technique. And when you practice the technique regularly, twice a day,
you11 gain a wide range of benefits for your mind, your body, your relationships,
your community, and your world.
Transcendental Consciousness is the most silent level of the mind, a state of re5tful
alertne.s, and the source of all energy, creativity and intelligence in life.
What is Transcendental Consciousness?
Research confirms that Transcendental Consciousness is a fourth major
state of consciousness, distinct f..Qm w~king, dreaming, and deep sleep.
Scientists can actually identify Transcendental Consciousness by monitoring
changes in brainwave patterns, breath rate, and metabolic rate.
DiKovering Transcendenml Consciousness
A Unique State of Restful Alertness
The first research on the Transcendental Meditation technique, conducted at UCLA
and Harvard Medical Schools, was published from 1970 to 1972 in the respected
journals Sciencel American Journal of Physiology, and Scientific American. These
landmark studies revealed that the Triilnsc:endental Meditation technique produced a
unique state of mind and body called "restful alertness."
..
During the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique, the mind settles
down to its most silent level. Since Jtl.tftilr\f..pody are intimately connected, as
the mind settles down the body also settles down to a deep state of rest.
Researchers discovered significant reductions in respiration, minute ventilation, tidal
volume, and blood lactate, and significant increases in basal skin resistance. All of
these physiological measures represent a state of deep relaxation, even deeper than
sleep. And they found that even though the body is in a state of deep rest, the mind
is alert rather than asleep, indicated by an increased abundance of alpha waves in
the EEG.
This unique state of restful alertness led pioneering researcher Dr. Keith Wallace to
suggest it was a fourth major state of consciousness-Transcendental
Consciousness-distinct from the waking, dreaming, and deep sleep states of
consciousness. For the past 30 years, many other researchers have confirmed and
expanded upon this initial research on Transcendental Consciousness.
Water the Root and Enjoy the Fruit
When we water the root of a tree, all the branches, flowers, and fruits are nourished.
In the same way, the regular experience of Transcendental Consciousness, gained
during the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique, provides
nourishment for all aspects of life-for our mind, body and spirit.
During the Transcendental Meditation technique, we contact Transcendental
Consciousness at the quietest level of the mind. Because this is the field of maximum
energy, creativity, and intelligence, the mind naturally expresses more of these
qualities when it comes out of meditation.
By contacting this unlimited source of energy and intelligence twice a day, you'll
think and act more creatively, and intelligently, engage in activity feeling less tired
and stressed, and enjoy increased alertness and efficiency in all areas of your life.
The Transcendental Meditation technique is one simple procedure that brings a wide
range of benefits to every area of life. !
Learning to Meditate
i
Learning the Transcendental Meditation technique ~s one of the most
enjoyable things you'll ever do. The program is taught in a standard seven-
step course, which includes public lectures, private instruction, and group
seminars. You are also eligible to take advantage of a free lifetime follow-up
program.
"Nothing I everleamed or wa. ever taught at Harvard approached the completeness of the
self-knowledge the Transcendental Meditation prog...m offered,"
-Paul D. Gandv,
Attorney art Law
Founder and President, GANDY LAW OFFICES, P.C.
Enjov a Wide Range. of Benefits
People start the Transcendental Meditation technique for a wide variety of reasons.
Some may learn because they want to use more of their full mental potential. Others
may start because they wcmt to improve their relationships or help create a more
peaceful world. Others start at the recommendation of their doctor to help treat a
spedflc stress-related problem, such as high blood pressure.
No matter why you choose to learn, regular practice of the technique will naturally
bring a wide range of benefits for your mind, body, and behavior. The
Transcendental Meditation technique Is one simple procedure that strengthens all
aspects of life. It's like watering the root of a plant to nourish the entire plant in one
simple stroke.
It Doesn't Take Long
Once you .Iearn the Transcendental Meditation technique, It's likely you'll begin to
notice positive changes within the first few days or weeks. It doesn't take long to
gain more energy and intelligence, creativity and joy, calmness and confidence when
you experience that settled state of expanded awareness wIthin and give a profound
rest to mi nd and body.
More than six million people of all ages, cultures, and religions in countries around
the world have learned the Transcendental Meditation program and enjoy its
benefits, including one million Americans. More than 6,000 medical doctors in the
'United States have learned the Transcendental Meditation technique and recommend
it to their patients.

Meta-analysis is a procedure for drawing definitive conclusions from large bodies of research
studies. A meta-analysis of 811 available physiological research on the Transcendental Meditation
program found that the practice of this techniQue produces a state of deep rest compared to control
conditions, as measured by reduced respiration rate, reduced basal skin conductance (increased
skin resistance), and reduced plasma lactate. Reference: American Psychologist 42: 879-881,

2. Greater integration of diverse styles of brain functioning - as measured b~
greater activation of each brain hemisphere: and by the unique IntegratlOr of EEG
associated wIth the experience of higher states of consCIousness.
3. Greater integration and efficiency of brain functioning underlying
cognitive processes - as measured by faster brain processing of cognitive and
sensory stimuli; and by development of cognitive abilities that are assoClated with
more integrated brain functioning, including Increased intelligence, field
Independence, and ego development, all of which were previously thought to stor
developing after the initIal maturation of the brain in late childhood.
4. Greater integration and effectiveness in the total functioning of the brain,
peripheral nervous system, and neuroendocrine processes - measured by
more adaptive responses to stress by the autonomic nervous system and the
endocrine system; and by reversal of the detrimental effects of the aging process,
shown in a wide variety of physiological, cognitive, and behavioral variables.

Consciousness
EEG coherence measures the relationship between the EEG activity at two different
locatIons on the scalp; It quantifies the consistency of phase relationship of the twO
EEG Signals at a given frequency. Higher EEG coherence thus indicates greater
integration of brain functioning in the measured areas,
Research has found that dUring the practice of the Transcendental Meditation'
technique, periods of times Identified by respiratory changes as periods of
Transcendental Consciousness displayed a significant increase in EEG coherence,
averaged over all the measured frequencies (1-50 cps) and cortical locations (nine
pairs of electrodes) illl. (Please refer to chart.)
This finding mdicates that during Transcendental Consciousness there is increased
integration of brain functIoning, as reflected in the full range of EEG frequencies and
cortical areas measured.

development illl, and field Independence!..21l. (Please refer to the charts.) ThesE-
measures are related to one another; one of them, fluid intelligence, has been found"
to be associated with the higher control functions of the frontal lobes (please refer to
Development of Cognitive Abilities - Selected Research Findings). It is likely ttiat
this unprecedented development of global cognitive abilities after childhood, which is
promoted by the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique, is the
expression of greater integration and effectiveness of brain functioning.
The flndmgs In this section thus indicate greater integration and effectiveness of the

Greater Integration and Effectiveness in
Total Functioning of the Brain, Peripheral Nervous Systeml and
Neuroendocrine Processes
Higher integration of brain functioning IS naturally assOCiated with more integrat€C
functioning of the physiology as a whole. Among the aspects of the nervous sys~e;r
that are most intImately connected with brain functioning are the penpheral nervous
system, including the autonomiC nervous system; and endocrine processes. whlcri
are under direct influence of the brain through the hypothalamus. Integration In the
total functioning of brain, peripheral nervous system, and neuroendocrine processes
has been found to develop through the practice of the Transcendental Meditation
program, as Indicated by the follOWIng sample research findings.
(1) Faster recovery of the autonomic nervous system from stress
Individuals practicing the Transcendental Meditation program, in contrast to controls,
show more raoid recovery of the autonomic nervous system from stress, as
measured by habituatlOn of skin resistance responses.l2:!.!., The Transcendental
fv1editatlon program participants also showed a more stable Pli'y'Sloioglcai response tc'
tiie stressful stimulus (fewer multlOle responses), and hi'ld fewer spontaneoliS S~1n
resl stance responses (Independent of the stressful stl mu ius) t:l a n control sub1ects,
indicating more stabie as wei as more flexible functlO~llng of the autonomic ne!'\'Ol!S
svstem,
(2) More adaptive neuroendocrine response to stress
Individuals who learned the Transcendentai Meditation program. III contrast to
controls, showed after four months a more adaptive response to stress as measured
by the follOWing vanables: decreased baseline cortisol and decreased overall cortlsol
during stress session; enhanced cortisol response dunng a stressful chi'lllengE', wltli
rapid return to baseline; and decreased plasma serotonlll during a Dasei:ne penod
and in response to stress (55). Low basel1ne cortisol and en ha ncect cortisol response
to stress have been found by prevIous research to be a more stable and adaptive
physiological proflie; low plasma serotonin indicates decreased stress ane decreased
nsk of hIgh blood pressure, These results Signify more adaptive ane! effiCIent
response to neuroendocrine prOcesses to Stress,

Improvement in Abilities That Usually Decline With Aging
Decline in cognitive functioning with aging is assumed to be associated with neurona:
loss ill.
Research has shown, however, that practice of the Transcendental Meditation"
technique improves many phYSiological, cognitive, and behavioral variables that
uSllally declme with aging. These include changes in the following vanables most
closely related to brain functioning: increased cerebra! blood flow !.J1l, increased
EEG alpha power (32.33), faster response (shorter latency) of P300 evoked brain
potentials (41-44), Increased learnmg ability and improved memory f..2.2l. increased
creativity!.S1.l, increased intelhgence(50.S1 ), faster reaction time L2Ql, Increased
field independence i2.Jl, and increased behavioral flexibility L22l.
These developments, opposite in direction from the aging process, suggest continued
brain development and increased integration of cortical functioning in adulthood
through the experience of Transcendental Consciousness.
In addition, a wide range of other developments opposite in direction to the aging
process occur through regular practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique,
including decreased susceptibility to stress!..2.il. reduction of high blood pressure
(58;, reduced cardiovascular dlsease!j,!ll, Increased serum DHEA-S
(dehydroeplandrosterone sulfate, an adrenal hormone related to good health in the
elderly) f&.Q.l, Increased effiClencv of endOCrine control i.2.2l, and reduced depreSSion
{6li, (Please refe~ to the "Reversai of Aging" chart which follows on the next page.)
These results indicate greater integration and effectiveness in the total functioning of
~~lS Dram and reia:ed physiological processes; tnat is, greater- integration ane
effectiveness In tne interrelationship among the cerebral cortex, the subcortical
structures of the brain, the autonomiC nervous system, and neuroendOCrine process.

HEALING THROUGH SOUND AND CONSCIOUSNESS
From the perspective of modern Quantum field theory, the body is understood to be a
complex waveform-the sum total of many smaller waves or vibrations. Health is the
integrated and balanced state of all the vibrations that make up the individual, while
disease is seen as lack of balance of the fundamental frequencies that constitute the body,
The following therapeutic modalities of Maharishi Vedic Medicine work on the level of
audible sounds (Maharishi Vedic Sound therapy'~, on the level of subtle sounds or
vibrations (Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology'~, or on the level of pure intelligence-
the field of consciousness underlying all subjective and objective aspects of life (the
Transcendental Meditation@ technique). They can be added to any in-residence program or
taken on an outpatient basis. Our VIP program already includes Maharishi Vedic Vibration
Technology and Maharishi Vedic Sound therapy.

Maharishi Ayurveda Products utilize potent, time-tested herbal formulas to restore
balance in mind and body, without harmful side. effects.
Maharishi Avurveda Products
Maharishi Ayurveda@ supplements combine time-tested wisdom drawn from authentic
Ayurvedlc texts with cutting-edge manufacturing and Quality control technologies. By drawing
from the best of both worlds-ancient and modem-these herbal products are produced with
unparalleled in value and quality. '
The herbal formulas of Maharishi Ayurveda Products lntemational (MAP!) contain high-quality
herbs that are combined into potent formulas to correct the underlying imbalance in the
physiology, without side effects. Instead of treating symptoms, they aim to eliminate the root
cause of the problem.
We've all heard the saying, "The whole is greater than the sum of the parts," This is especially
true in the preparation of herbal products. There is a delicate balance that resides in the
biological intelligence of a whole herb, one that is never found in an isolated chemical
substance,
Ayurvedic experts from India point out that it's better to include more than one ingredient in
an herbal formula. ThiS ensures that while you are balancing one aspect of the mind and body,
you don't create an imbalance in another area. The traditional Ayurvedic texts describe precise
combinations of herbs for this very reason.
The herbs used in each Maharishi Ayurveda formulation have been carefully selected and
combined to strengthen the formula in four ways:
1. The primary herbs target a specific area of health, such as the mind, immunity or
energy.
2. Bioavailability herbs increase the potency of the formula by improving the bodY's
ability to assimilate and use the nutrients.
3. Herbal cofadors remove impurities in the body, along with the effects of poor
digestion, nutrition and stress, which can block the full benefit.
4. Balancing herbs cancel out any potential discomforts or side effects that can come
along with the benefits of a particular herb.
Over 5000 Years of Clinical Research
Maharishi Ayurveda herbal formulas are not generic supplements based on the latest health
fad. They have been helping people improve their health for thousands of years. MAPI's herbal
products are recommended by medical doctors and health professionals around the world.
Herbal formulations are available for many health concerns, including:
Allergies Chlolesterol Detoxication Digestion Energy Heart health Immunity Joints and
muscles Monthly cycle and menopause Mineral absorption Mind and memory Prostate
RejUVenation Sleep problems Sports and fitness Sugar Metabolism Skin and complexion
Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology''''
The Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health offers comprehensive programs which are preventioh-
oriented, time-tested, free from harmful side effeas, and easily applied. This apl)roach re-
establishes the balance between the body and Its own inner intelligence through Vedic
knowledge and its application.
Maharishi explains that it is the bodY'S own inner intelligence which guides the praper
functioning of a healthy physiology. When the connection 'with this inner intelligence is lost,
symptoms of ill health begin to appear.
Maharishi Vedic Vibration TechnologY"'" utilizes a refined Impulse of Vedic sound. or Vedic
vibration, to enliven the Inner Intelligence of the body and restore proper functioning.
Participants Evaluate their Relief
Many participants with a wide range of health concerns have experienced significant
impro....ements, often within 4 to 5 days.
. On average, they rated their level of relief as 45% improvement for chronic disorders
lasting an average of 14 years.
. 2 out of 3 people reported 25% to 100% relief.
. 100% relief was gained by 6% of the partidpants.
. "Instant relief" was reported by many participants, who were freed from their pain or
symptoms within moments of beginning the program.

Before feng shui, there was vastu shastra; Indian
science has formulas to align a home with nature
by Bageshree Paradkar
Toronto Star
10 March 2005
On 10 March 2005 Toronto Star reported: The 3,SOO-year-old Indian Vedic Science
of Vastu Shastra has been recently 'embraced by Westerners who are finding that
there Is a connection between the spaces that they live in and their bodies, minds,
and souls'. The article cited Maharishi Global Construction as a source of vastu-based
design plans and consultation on all aspects of home-building, from determining the.
ideal topography of the land, to the placement of rooms within the home itself.
The article, which appeared in the Toronto Star, noted that Vastu principles are
based on such influences as the sun and the moon, the earth's magnetic fIeld, and
the influence of the cosmos on our planet.
The article cited such basic principles of Vastu Shastra as having the entrance to
your home being from the east or north, placing the kitchen in the southeast comer,
and putting the master bedroom in the southwest comer of the house. The writer
explained, 'An east-facing kitchen gets the morning sun, which is filled with energy,
while the orange rays at dusk filtering into the bedroom are conducive to rest. t
While a number of individuals interviewed in the article use these principles for
redecorating existing homes, the article noted that there is another approach to
vastu that 'views decorative changes as merely cosmetic'. True vastu has to start
from the basics: choosing suitable land for your home and constructing it according
to vastu principles.
Maharishi Global Construction (MGC), was named as a company that provides that
service. The article went on to interview Doug Greenfield, who holds a volunteer
position as president of MGC. Greenfield, who is also involved in an oil company in
the Midwest, said he was 'completely shocked' by the positive benefits of moving his
oil company to a building built on Vedic principles. Greenfield noticed that not only
did sales go up every year except one, but also employee-broker relationships were
more harmonious.
Greenfield said that Maharishi Global Construction has built homes in the US and
Canada for medical centers, offices, condos, and 'h undreds of residential homes'.

shi Global Construction and the Vedic consul.

worked on designs for hundreds of homes and
nearly a dozen office builctiags based. on a sys-
tem the maharishi developed about 15
years ago. He said the system uses
mathematical fonnulas drawn from
..the eternal laws of nature and na.
ture's architecture."
Abramson said Tower Cos. and Ler.
ner Enterprises is to occupy one-third
of the Vedic building. The remaining
space has yet to be leased.
Next to the new office building,
Tower plans to develop an eco-friendly
hotel with a resort and spa featuring
some Vedic elements.
Abramson's project is located in a
hot spot. according to Catherine C.
Jones. executive director at the D.C.
office of Advantis, a tenant broker. "It's in a real-
ly good area between Bethesda and the 1.270

area.
Other developers predict the Vedic building
will generate some buzz. '"This is not something
everyone would do," said Stephen F. Lust.

Maharishi Gandharva Veda
"Gandharva music is universal. It is at home with every land, with every
man, with every society. It is the language of bliss, the science and art of
bliss, the song of Nature" -- Maharishi
Gandharva Veda mustc is the eternal mustc of nature -- the rhythms and melodies of nature
expressed as music. If you could hear the changing frequendes present at the first awakening
of the dawn, in the dynamism of midday, or in the deep.sUence of midnight, you would be
hearing the frequencies of Gandharva Veda music. '
These sublime melodies -- the pure and simple coherent flow of sound n neutralise stress and
disharmony, and gently restore biological rhythms by attuning the phYSiology to the cycles of
nature.
History of Gandharva Veda Music
Thousands of years ago in India, great Rlshis or sages cognised within their own
consciousness the subtle rhythms and enlightening melodies of the Veda, which Is pure
knowledge at the basis of Nature. As a part of the Veda, Gandharva Veda is the tradition of
musical performance that replicates the vibrations Of Nature at different times of day and
night. However, over time the completeness of knowledge and purpose of this music was lost,
In 1986, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi inaugurated his Program to Create World Peace, introducing
the theme of creattng b..nee In Nature and peace In the world through the performance of
Gandharva Veda music. Under Maharishi's guidance, many of lndle's most renowned
musicians have joined in this world-wide revival of the etemal music of nature. Today,
Gandharva Veda musicians continue to perform in concerts around the year, around the world.

'Gandharva music is the eternal melody of Nature which is ever~lively in
Transcendental Consciousness. From there it reverberates and constructs
different levels of creation. Gandharva Veda is the basis of all order and
harmony jnNature, therefore it. has that most harmonising, most

to the City and the St. John River system,
District Chief Eric Garland will be contacting you with regard to supporting this initiative.
We are honoured to lead the flotilla with "the Guardian," the Saint John Fire Department's
rescue boat. Being involved in the event with the Coast Guard, RCMP and possibly the
Grand Bay-Westfield Fire Service provides us quick access should there be any safety issues
or accidents.
Best wishes for this multi-year initiative.
Yours truly,
SAINT JOHN FIRE DEPARTMENT

SUBJECT: Proposed Municipal Plan Amendment - 40 Mountain View Drive
A Public Presentation was made on January 15, 2007 of a proposed amendment to the
Municipal Development Plan which would re-designate on Schedule 2-A, the Future
Land Use Plan, from Low Density Residential to Business Park classification, a parcel of
land with an area of approximately 2.33 hectares, located at 40 Mountain View Drive,

Dear Council Members,
We are writing to express our grave concern with regard to the recent
proposal to Common Council to redesignate a parcel of land located at 40
Mountain View Drive in Forest Hills to a Business Park.. We have lived in
Forest Hills for over 27 years, raised our family here and enjoy the
suburban-like quality of life while being able to enjoy all of the
conveniences of city life at the same time. That is why Forest Hills is such a
popular area for young families. Forest Hills is a residential area and to
rezone a portion of it as a Business Park is totally inappropriate. We joined
with our neighbors to stop the construction of apartment buildings and
condos in this same area not that long ago and we are certainly not going to
consider industrial development in the midst of our neighbourhood,
The intersection of Mountain View and McAllister Drives is already
almost impossible to merge into during the early morning and supper hours
but adding a factory to this area would mean significant traffic flow, not to
mention truck traffic to an area where children ride their bikes and residents
walk their dogs and jog. There is an industrial park off of Grand View
Avenue and plenty of land zoned for industry along Rothesay Avenue so
why choose a residential area for a factory? Many families just invested
over $150,000.00 to have new homes built on Carlisle Street off of Mountain
View and many more will invest in the new Garden Homes being built there
presently so it is obvious that people are interested in staying within the city
limits, There is always concern voiced by City Council that the population
is moving away from the city. This is a situation where your members can
support it's tax payers and to let us know that you are interested in
protecting our community and our children from the unwanted presence of

Re: Proposed Municipal Plan Amendment
40 Mountain View Dr.
To \Vhom It May Concern:
I would like to lodge a formal complaint on behalf of my husband and myself regarding
the proposed heating products factory on Mountain View Dr. in Forest Hills,
We moved to Forest Hills in 2003 because it was one of few pleasant, quiet residential
areas within the city of Saint John. If we had had any inkling of this development, we
would have thought twice, you can be sure.
Common council is supposedly trying to bring people back into the city but this is going
to affect a large number of people who are already living here and paying taxes,
Shouldn't we be attempting to keep people here who are already here as well as trying to
lure people hack??
As far as we are concerned, Forest Hills is a good alternative for people who like living
within the city limits but don't want something like a factory right down the street.
Surely there is an alternative spot for this rather than to ruin one of the few nice, quiet
neighbourhoods in this city.
I know that this will certainly make us think twice about living in this area,
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Lisa and Doug Shaw
industry. It is appropriate to look out of your front window and see another
house with a nice green lawn and trees but no one wants to see a factory and
a parking lot when they look outside. Please advise us when the next
opportunity will be to meet with Council to give our objection in person.
Unfortunately, we received notice of this request for redesignation after the
proposed amendment was already presented to Council.
We hope you will consider the impact your decision will have on our
community very carefully.

Dear SirlMadam
This letter is in response to an application by "Dennison Holdings. Ltd" To rezone a parcel of land
on Mountain View Drive (PID Nos. 313429 and 426452) from Low Density Residential, to a Business
Park.
My first question is why does this company find it necessary to have a piece of land that is now
residential rezoned to a Business Park when there are three existing Industrial Parks in the Saint John area,
not to mention other areas that are already zoned as Industrial.
The rezoning application states that the lot is within 50 meters of McAllister Drive Industrial
zoning and is not adjacent to any existing structures. Well I beg to differ, the word "adjacent" means lying
near or next to. My home will probably be no more then a couple hundred feet from this building. I think
this qualifies as being near. The picture I have enclosed will show you how near, as it was taken from my
back deck. The machine you see has already started to do some work there and the building they are
proposing will be located to the right of the picture next to the machine.
If this application is allowed to go through, our neighborhood will be stuck between two Industrial
Parks. Once one piece of property is rezoned and a building constructed, no residential housing will want to
be located next to it. As a result, the entire side of Mountain View Dr. will end up being an Industrial Park.
I can assure you that there is enough noise from the existing one. To be stuck between two would be
unbearable,
My neighbors and I would never have built here if we had known that this area might become an
Industrial Park. When I built here I knew there was going to be Garden Homes built directly in back of me,
of which I have no issue. In fact the ftrst ftve are now under construction and three of the ftve have already
been sold. I wonder if the Darlings have informed them of the future development plans across the street.
The Darlings built this neighborhood and my Neighbors and I ftnd it hard to believe that they would sell us
out by even being involved in such a scheme. It seems the Darlings feel the whole area is already and
Industrial Park, including our neighborhood.
I strongly urge yourself and Common Council to reject this rezoning application and keep this area
strictly residential.
Yours Truly,
Paul and Mary Pare'

Re: Proposed Municipal Plan Amendment
40 Mountain View Drive - PID Nos, 00313429
And 00426452
As residents of the Forest Hills area and homeowners/taxpayers, we are writing this letter to
sOlmd our objection to the redesignation of the above from Low Density Residential to Business
Park for the parcel ofland located at 40 Mountain View Drive, also identified as being portions
ofPID Nos. 00313429 and 00426452 for the following reasons:
1) Very obvious devaluation of our property values
2) This is a residential area NOT an industrial / commercial area
-3)- This type of building should locate in industrial parks, where there is no negative
affects to the surrounding property values as all would of course be
industrial/commercial properties and not residential properties
4) You cannot expect people to locate in Saint John - which I believe COWlcil has clearly
stated many times - ifthere is always a fear that their next door neighbor could end up
being a factory, or industrial type building instead of nicely built homes for
families and thus a place to raise your children
5) If this is granted, people will continue to and start moving to areas such as Rothesay and
Quispamsis, where the cOWlcil has clearly demonstrated that they have the interest of
the residents at heart and would strongly reject such a request
6) If this is allowed to happen, people will start to let their properties deteriorate. Why
maintain your property when you clearly will not be able to sell it for what its' real value
is, when your next door neighbor is building heating parts and who knows what else
7) If rumor is correct, then it appears there could be as many as 200 workers in this very
large industrial building, which will cause a very dangerous traffic problem for
homeowners and their children in this residential area
8) It would appear that if this is allowed to go through the unfortunate people who have just
built beautiful new homes for their families believing that they were building in a nice
residential area will be greatly disappointed, not to mention the new garden homes
currently being constructed having a very ugly view of a factory from their front window.
9) Finally - why were the residents never made aware of the January 15,2007 presentation
of the proposed amendment? I would think this is a very important matter that we clearly
should have a say in.
This is not what we want in our area and not what we want to pass on to our children,
and hope that council will put themselves in our shoes and strongly decline this request and
anything like this request.

RE: Proposed Municipal Plan Amendment
40 Mountain View Drive
Dear Councillors
I write to express my objection to amending the Municipal Plan to rezone this property
(portions of P1D nos. 00313429 and 00426452) from RS-2, One and Two Family
Suburban Residential to Business Park.
In recent months additional housing has been approved and is under development in
this neighborhood, adding to its family and residential composition as well as tax dollars
and population to the city. Those who want homes live in the city near shopping,
schools and other services are not apt to continue coming to the neighborhood should
business such as an assembly plant become part of the mix, It is certainly not a mix I
wash to see in the neighborhood where I have lived for over 30 years. Opportunities for
business development exist in other areas of the city and the zoning for such
developments is already in place. New business development should occur in these
areas first.
I trust that my objection will receive consideration.
Yours truly

Dear Mr. Woods:
We are long-time residents of our city, and we are writing to express our concerns about
a recent discussion and the pending decision to construct a factory on Mountain View
Drive in Forest Hills. We understand that the decision is being considered to construct a
factory that will assemble heating products and redesignate the area from Low Density
Residential to Business Park.
Weare strongly opposed to the development of this area as commercial property.
Consider: This area (Forest Hills) is a long-standing~ quiet residential neighbourhood.
Weare not opposed to developing the area in question as long as it remains residential.
The new construction on Carlisle Crescent is an extension of the residential area of Forest
Hills and is~ in our opinion, suitable development for the area. A similar expansion on
the other side of Mountain View would be acceptable development, keeping a residential,
community feel to the area (no apartment buildings or town houses). The sight and sound
of increased traffic, generated from a commercial property and its employees, are not
pleasant, especially in a residential community. Furthermore, this area has a high volume
of foot traffic, residents who walk their dogs, or take their exercise along Mountain View
Road. It is also well known that traffic and commercial properties gives off myriad
pollutants that decrease air quality.
It would seem that constructing a business would bring increased growth, and thus a
better economy, to our city. However, there is plenty of space available in places already
marked for commercial use. This is an established residential area. A factory in this area
will decrease surrounding property values,
Are these tradeoffs that we really want to make? Again, we would like to voice our
strong objection to this proposal.
Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing concerning the ad in the Telegraph Journal regarding the proposed municipal

Drive also identified as being portions of PID Nos.00313429 and 00426452.
As a resident of Carlile Cres, I am appalled that something of this nature would even be
considered. This is a residential community where we have children walking to school
everyday. We should be considering building parks and sidewalks for our kids to go to
school. We have more than enough abounded buildings in the Saint John community. Maybe the
manufacturing company should look areas where it is already an industrial park or many
other locations in this city. This is outrageous and I will be at every council meeting to
make sure that this is not passed. I WILL also keep a close view of our common council who
is representing us and who should be looking out for our best interests. I will consider
this as a lost vote to any common council who passes such a stupid and absurd idea.
Please consider this letter as a stern objection to $uch a construction in our small
residential community where I can still see wildlife such as deer from time to time. This
is still a reality in the middle of Saint John. How lovely to still be able to live in an
area where it is a beautiful place to walk your dog and for our kids to play.

Subject: 40 Mountain view Drive
I am opposed to the rezoning of 40 Mountain View Drive being rezoned from a RS-2 (One and Two Family
Surburban Residential) to BP (business Park). I have lived in Forest Hills for 24 years and this should remain a
residential area. This would open up the remaining undeveloped property to BP and this is not appropriate.

Dear Mr. Woods,
I would like to voice my objection to the proposed municipal plan amendment to rezone 40 Mountain View Drive
to Business Park to allow for the "development of a building for the assembly of heating products, and related
office uses."
This proposal is not appropriate for a residential area such as Forest Hills, There are other areas nearby on
McAllister Drive and Commerce Drive where such a development should take place.
Yours sincerely.

Dear Sir:
IE: Proposed Municipal Plan Amendment - 40 Mountain View Drive
We are writing to object to the above-noted amendment.
We reside on the newly built Carlile Crescent. Our decision to build a new home
and move in the Forest Hills area was based on the fact that it was a family
oriented Quiet neighborhood with some mature trees and landscape that gives
it a country look within the city.
We would be greatly prejudiced by the building of a manufacturing plant for
the following reasons;
1. increased pollution;
2. affect the resale and value of our home;
3. increased truck traffic;
4. increased noise;
5. affect the development of the neiQhborhood.
The last thing we want is a facility of that nature. Before living next to a plant, ~
would rather move to Quisoomsis considering that fact and also the fact that
we are paying really high taxes not to be surrounded by a manufacturing plant.
May we suggest to the City and the council to consider imoroving Mountain
View Drive with sidewalks, tights and resurfacing the road, that we feel would be
~
y y bl{}
2
some bank for our tax buck. There are a few industrial parks within the city that
have undeveloped land for these types of activities.
Our plan Is to build a higher scale home (2 garages and brick in the front) when
Darling Construction starts another street on the other side of Mountain View
Drive. These proposals of rezoning being considered by the City (without
receiving notice) living next to it will lead us to build our next new home in
Quisoamsis where we know that our investment wilt be better protected.
Yours very truly,

RE: Proposed municipal plan amendment, 40 Mountain View Drive, from low density residential
to Business Park.
The residents of the area enjoy the peace of mind, of a well-established neighborhood
(Foresthills). When the residents of Carlile Cr where sold their homes, they were promised by the
developer that it would stay this way. The past couple of years, several families have built
expensive homes off this road with the understanding that they were Indeed building in a
residential area. No one would have built there, had they thought the area was to be rezoned!
To consider adding a manufacturing business that would bring more vehicle traffic &
noise to the area would be detrimental to this neighborhood. In a city that currently has many
industrial parks with vacancies that are better suited for this kind of business I would think that
this company nor the city would not want to upset a well established area.
Therefore, I would appreciate this letter to be considered as an objection to this
proposal.

RE: Proposed municipal plan amendment, 40 Mountain View Drive, from low density
residential to business park.
Mountain View Drive today, has a fair amount of foot traffic. The residents of
the area enjoy walking dogs and exercising on this stretch. as it is probably the only
stretch of road that is flat. To consider adding a business that would bring more traffic to
the area would be detrimental. The past couple of years. several families have built nice
homes off this road with the understanding that they were indeed building in a residential
area. No one would have built there had they thought the area was to be rezoned!
In a city that currently has industrial parks with vacancies that are better suited for
the additional traffic I would think the company in question would not want to upset a
well established area.
Therefore~ I would appreciate this letter to be considered as an objection to this
proposal.

To whom it may concern.
I would like to formally object a recent proposal to Common Council to construct a large
factory on Mountain View Drive in Forest Hills.
Obviously this will have a huge impact on the life we enjoy in Forest hills, increase the
noise levels, traffic volume, and drive property values down.
Approving this construction will be a serious detennent to our neighborhood and I would
ask the council to reject this proposal.
Sincerely,
lady Draper

To whom it may Concern:
This letter is to inform you of my displeasure and disappointment that yet another attempt
is being made to transform a residential area into a commercial/industrial area.
After years of no development on Mountain View Drive, finally Carlile Crescent has
sprung up as a vibrant extension afForest Hills, giving another area for the present
residents afForest Hills to walk and exercise. Now, with the planned zoning change
directly across the street, I can only wonder why anyone would feel that a change of
zoning from a I and 2 family Suburban Residential to a Business Park can somehow be
beneficial to this community. I am sure my property value will diminish, and the chances
of resale of my property will soon follow. Two hundred (200) employees, with their
(200) cars, as well as, the truck travel on Mountain View Drive, will make it
unpleasant environment to live, and travel. Also of consideration is the added
difficulty of traffic exiting Mountain View Drive onto McAllister Drive, especially at the
rate of speed that cars now travel in both directions on McAllister Drive.
I was very disappointed that the residents were not advised of this request in a more
timely manner, as in the past when "George Freeze" also made an attempt to set up a
warehouse on this street, we were able to get an accurate measure of the residents
feelings, and defeat that motion.
As a longtime resident afForest Hills, I implore you to reconsider this ill conceived
change, and send this company to a Industrial Park, where their neighbors will make
them welcome.

RE: Proposed Municipal Plan Amendment. Re: 40 Mountain View Dr.
Further to my letter dated July 26, 200 I (attached) protesting a previous attempt
to redesignate a parcel of land practically next door to the one identified above, I fmd
myself having to repeat the exercise!
The reasons mentioned in my previous letter against this proposed rezoning still
apply in this case but with even more conviction, at that time there was no other
development going on in the immediate area but look at it now. things are moving in
Forest Hills and in the right direction. we have a very nice residential community here,
we have .'Taylor College" with it's adjacent residential properties on Mountain View
Drive, also the ongoing housing development on Carlile Cres. which could be a very nice
semi secluded spot when complete.
Yes, things are turning around in Forest Hills. let's keep it that way, one quick
way to put a halt to it all though is to permit what is being considered. The approaches to
a sub division are very important, and only residential expansion should be considered for
this and adjacent lots located on the eastern side of Mountain View Drive. I'm quite sure
that is what owners of the properties on Carlile envisaged when they purchased their new
homes not too long ago, not to be looking into a commercial monstrosity. We don't need
someone to come along, who. obviously has no consideration for anyone but himself. be
permitted to erect an "Assembly Plant" in a residential subwdivision. Come to think of it,
do we not have a location bearing the name "Commerce Drive" just down the road a
little, literally made for the job? Better still, how about the Industrial Park?
Please consider our concerns and reject this "Proposed Municipal Plan
Amendment. Re:40 Mountain View Drive" consequently the site in question
remain "Low Density Residential" with "RS-2" zoning.

Re, Proposed Municipal PIau Amendment, Rezoninl and Subdivision
LakewGod Ave Wut.
A~ the original owner oftbe r,,-,'Side-nct" located at the above address, I was mO'lt
distrl"'ssed on receiving your advisory l,~t1er and proposal from Mr. (j;:oorge Freeze
regarding development ofa <.'onlractor's depot on a proposed 3.acre lot on the i"ast side
of Lakewood Ave West.
As you point out i.n yew' letter this would require tha[ the subject site hI::'
r~desigllat~d on schedule 2A ofthe municipal plan from row DensifY h'Ousin,g to Light
!ndusrnal and that the site be rezoned from "RS-2" One and Two Family Suburban
Residential to "1-1" Lisht Industrial. This in my view is entirely unacceptable! It is a far
CI) from the prest'lnt zoning to the one propos~d!
When the Bible College and Residence was proposed for Lakewood Aw. W. I
had no objection at alL that should lit in fine bul this proposal is entirely preposterous!
The following is a list outlining some of my objections
L Introduction of industry will certainly not enha.nce th~ appearance ofthe approach
to the upper areas ofthe sub-divlsion along Lakewood Ave, W, and will no doubt
influence property values.
2. The proposed site for this development could not be in a worse ioeation as it is
smack in the middle ofan "RS-1" zonl;' which stretches from the boundary ofthe
Forest Hills Sub-division to Highmeadow North on McAllister Drive' and th.:
residences on Westbrook Aw. Granted there has be-ell no residential expansion
so far in this area but to introduce industry would certainly put an end to any
possibility ofthat. Forest Hills and sWToullding area has be~n strictly rl."sidential
since the first sod wa~ turned, so why change things now, By the' way, I see about
tlVi' commercial sil~s being adv~rti8li'd for sale on th.... brand new "Commerce
Drive" only a tew hundred rnetn.'B away from the ;,:ite in queRtton.
.;, "CuntriliJt(j(s D<?pJC does nUt ;ilY WG tiu.wh ici W ;,;;ht'tht?i" the.n~ win b~ HilY

Dear Mr. Woods,
This letter is in response to the recent proposal made to Common COWlcil regarding the
re-zoning of 40 Mountain View Drive from a Low Density Residential to Business Park. I am
currently a resident ofthe Forest Hills area and I strongly oppose this proposal. This area
currently contains many residential properties and continues to grow with the recent addition of
the Carlile Crescent subdivision. It is a beautiful area and a great place to live and raise a family.
I currently have a 5 year old child and another one on the way and I do not want the two of them
growing up in this area if businesses are going to be allowed to develop in our back yards. This
area does not need large factory in the middle of all of these residential properties. This type of
business needs to be in an industrial park away from all residential properties. I find it hard to
believe that the city is even considering putting a factory of this size smack dab in the center of
all these homes. I am aware that the City of Saint John is always looking to promote business
development within the city but at what cost to the families living within these areas. There are
plenty of other more appropriate areas that this business could and should go. I am pleading
with you to please not approve this proposal!

Dear Mr. Woods
J am writing to you regarding the rezoning of a piece oftand in our neighborhood form "one and
two family residential" to "Business Park". My husband and I are greatly opposed to the rezoning
ofthis piece ofland. A year and a half ago, we purchased a new home at the above address
because of the need of providing a granny suite for my mother after the death of my father. We
searched long and hard to find a suitable location where all of our family requirements would be
met. Although we were aware of the location of the city's parking garage practically in our back
yard, we moved in to what is supposed to be a "residential" area. We now have a construction
company's sales office right next door to us. When we look out our front door or windows, ail we
see are cars parked everywhere. This is disturbing enough to us, but to have a facility to
manufacture boilers or anything else also standing in view of the front of our home is totally
unacceptable. There is enough traffic on Mountain View already, and children walkll1g to Forest
Hills School will be in great danger if this traffic should increase due to all the employees of this
plant. Also, I feel that there is enough noise and vehicle emissions already. I believe that a
decision to rezone this land would greatly decrease the value of our home that we are paying top
tax dollar for. Why must this company come here? We already have an industrial park. Can they
not take their industry there? If the city is trying to entice people to move back into Saint John.
then it is imperative that business and industry are kept in the business and industry areas. Maybe
people are moving out of the city for cleaner air. We lived in Gondola Point for 16 years before
moving back to the city. We love the convenience of city living. I hope and pray that we will not
have cause to move out there again. I can certainly see why people are moving. Please, Mr,
Woods, be sensitive to our cause. Would you like to have an industry built on your front
doorstep?
Yours truly
I

Re: Proposed Municipal Plan Amendment - 40 Mountain View Drive
Schedule 2-A. Pill Nos, 00313429 and 00426452 ~ Zoning from Residential to Business Park
To Members of Council:
This letter is being written as an obiection to the above proposed Municipal Plan Amendment for 40
Mountain View Drive in Forest Hills.
My Husband and I live on Beverly Drive in Forest Hills. We have lived here for 17 years and find
it to be a safe, quiet and friendly neigbourhood in which to live,
Forest Hills is one of the nicest sub divisions in Saint John. Our homes are well kept. Our
population is a mixture of families and seniors. Mountain View Drive between Mountain Road and
McAllister Drive is and has been a safe, quiet, comfortable place for people in Forest Hills to walk
themselves, with their children or their pets. I walk there regularly with my Labrador Retriever and
know that both my dog and I will be safe,
Darling Construction has recently built beautiful homes on Mountain View Drive and is now in the
process of building garden homes. The proposed Business Park will be directly across the street
from these homes. Would you want to look out your window and see a Business Park? Would you
want the value of your home to be lowered?
It has been asked many times at Common Council over the years, particularly recently, why people
choose not to reside in the City of Saint John, Perhaps you could look to the new sub division on
Mountain View Drive. These residents built new homes in what they thought was a residential area
only to find, after the fact, that the property directly across the street from them that is now zoned
residential, is now before Council to be rezoned as a Business Park. This type of action, should it
take place, is not something that would entice anybody to reside in the City of Saint John.
2
The homes in Forest Hills are well kept. You will find the residents afForest Hills take great pride
in their homes and their community. We are continually putting money into renovations of our
homes for new siding, roof, windows and yard work. We care about our community,
This is a beautiful neighbourhood. It is safe to walk in with children and pets. It is quiet and
friendly.. ,a place you really enjoy coming home to after a hard day in the business world. We know
when we walk our children and our pets on Mountain view Drive that we are safe from fast cars,
trucks and other dangers that you find in the business districts.
Do you really want to ruin this?
There are other areas where a business can build. I believe that Commerce Drive has vacant land
and that estate agents are looking to sell, What about the Industrial Park? Would that not be a more
appropriate place for a business? A neighbourhood like Forest Hills certainly is not the place. This
is a residential area, a safe place for all of our families.
Please consider our quality of life before you allow a Business Park to be built in our
neighbourhood. All of the wonderful things I have mentioned above will be gone. Then where will
we walk our children and our pets. What will happen to the resale value of our homes? Would you
want this in your neighbourhood?
We ask that you please consider this seriously and say NO to this proposed amendment.
Thank you.

In regard to a recent proposal to construct a Factory on Mountain View Drive, I am
against any type of Construction of a Factory in this area. I feel this proposal should be
taken off the table permanently and not reconsidered. I moved in this area to stay away
from this type of Construction. I would like to be informed on any thing concerning this
project.

To whom it may concern.
I would like to formally object a recent proposal to Common Council to construct a large
factory on Mountain View Drive in Forest Hills.
Obviously this will have a huge impact on the life we enjoy in Forest hills, increase the
noise levels, traffic volume, and drive property values down.
Approving this construction will be a serious determent to our neighborhood and I would
ask the council to reject this proposaL
Sincerely,
Sarah Draper

Mayor and Members of Common Council:
I am writing to oppose the rezoning ofMOlllltain View Drive in Forest Hills. I have lived
on Candace Street for over twenty years and the area from McAllister Drive to Vista
Ridge Crescent, Mountain Road, Alpine Street, etc. has always been residential.
Even though there are no sidewalks, there are always pedestrians walking Mountain
View Drive and the adjacent streets. These include all age groups walking for pleasure
and exercise, as well as students walking to and from Forest Hills School and Simonds
High School. A commercial enterprise does not belong in a residential area.
In addition, Council should note the residential construction that has taken place and is
still taking place on Carlisle Crescent which runs off Mountain View Drive, plus the
current construction of garden homes on Mountain View Drive. I suspect, if approval is
granted, the value of these properties would certainly decrease and become less desirable
to prospective buyers with a commercial enterprise across the street.
Please vote IINo" to the rezoning application.
Yours truly,

There are many reasons why people in the surrounding areas OBJECT TO RE-ZONING
THE AREA OF MOUNTAIN VIEW DRIVE INTO A BUSINESS PARK. As you can
see from the signed petition, nearly ALL of the 60+ houses on the new sub-division of
Carlile Crescent have signed, objecting to turning our neighborhood into a business park.
Along with the residents of Carlile Crescent, our neighbors on Highmeadow Drive and
surrounding areas have also signed, protesting against changing our neighborhood. I
would have had more signatures had I had more time to go door-to-door making the
neighbors aware of what City Council was doing to our area (most of the residents were
quite surprised and angry that they weren't made aware of this more openly). There are
already 3 Industrial/Business Parks in Saint John, many of which have available space as
I understand. The residents of Carlile Crescent have just built brand new homes, which
weren't exactly cheap, with the expectation of raising our children in a safe, child.
friendly neighborhood of Forest Hills, escaping the hustle and bustle of the view below
us of McAllister Drive. We do not want the increased traffic, increased noise and air
pollution, the decreased curb appeal of a huge factory/industrial plant staring us in the
face every morning, nor the increased ware and tear of our streets. We all agree that we
certainly appreciate the jobs that this factory will supply to the residents of Saint John;
however, we do not want the area that we chose to live in to change! Please do not
change our residential one and two family suburban area into a business park. I know
that many of us turned down the idea of living in Quispamsis to live in East Saint
John.. . please don't make us regret our decision. Keep our neighborhood resident-
friendlyt

There are many reasons why the re-zoning of this property affects us here on Carlile Crescent:
- Our children's safety: There would have to be a huge 8' high enclosed fence
around this factory to keep neighbourhood children away from the area and safely
away from the large trucks that will be increasing traffic and worsening our road
conditions. Right now, we feel safe when our children ride their bikes or play ball
hockey on the streets In our nelghbourhood-that won't be the case if we have a
huge factory and a huge Increase in traffic,ln the immediate area.
- environmental pollution: Noise, exhaust fumes, factory pollutants, deteriorating
our streets with large trucks, heavy equipment, and increased traffic ., NOT GOOD.
.... Depreciating the value of our hom..: Many of us purchased our hames'
for the prime location, the scenic views, the privacy of being on 8 hill, and the
potential for f8481e or rental of our one and two family suburban homes.
- DeatruCUng curb appeal: No one wants to wake up to a huge factory when they
open up their curtains in the morning. Many of us have worked very hard and put
a lot of money into our property, landscaping and curb appeal and do not want that devalued
because of a factory.

our streets with large trucks, heavy equipment, and increased traffic = NOT GOOD.
- Depreciating the value of our homes: Many of us purchased our homes
for the prime location, the scenic views, the privacy of being on a hill, and the
potential for re-sale or rental of our one and two family suburban homes.
- Destructing curb appeal: No one wants to wake up to a huge factory when they
open up their curtains in the morning. Many of us have worked very hard and put
a lot of money into our property, landscaping and curb appeal and do not want that devalued
because of a factory.
- I purchased my home because I wanted to live in a quiet, suburban
neighbourhood! I don"t want to live in a Business Park!!!

Re: Application for re-zoning of
Mountain View Drive for a
Heating Assembly Plant
To Whom It May Concern:
This is totally out of place for this location. The community
agreed to residential development, as approved by the Planning
Commission, for both sides of the Mountain View Drive in the last
application by the present owner of the property.
The developer agreed with this and he is now going back on his word
to the community, as well as the Planning Commission.
I suggest he stop playing games!
There is plenty of land of Consumer Drive, McAllister Drive, as
well as our two industrial parks on the east side of the city for
this type of business.
I strongly object to mixing an assembly plant in the middle of a
residential area and recommend that the Planning Commission turn
this down.
Mayor, Council and City Staff
City of Saint John
February 20,2007
Dear Mayor and Council:
I have debated writing this letter for some time wondering whether the effort would be in
vain, hence I have missed the date as specified for written objections to the proposed
rezoning of 40 Mountain View Drive. I am sending this letter via email to each of you
and trust that in the interest of fairness and respect to a tax paying citizen that you will
consider my comments.
My wife and I have lived in Forest Hills for a little over 25 years now. I am retired after
over 30 years serving the City of Saint John as a Police Officer. I chose to move to
Forest Hills from the South Central Peninsula in preparation of retirement. Forest Hills
offered all of the benefits of suburban living while still allowing myself and my family to
be close to the amenities of the City. The quiet streets, mature landscape and residential
feel of the neighbourhood was a pivotal factor in my choice to remain within the City
limits as opposed to choosing to live in one of the outlying communities. My family and
I are now questioning that decision.
Over the past few years the residents of Forest Hills have been forced to fight to protect
the residential nature of their neighbourhood time and time again. It started with a
proposal to build a warehouse, a school and multi unit housing facilities, which the
neighbourhood community worked with the developer to reach an agreeable building
"fit". Then it was a proposal for multi level condominiums. Again, after considerable
stress, effort and time, the neighbourhood community again presented a proposal to the
developer and City staff that was mutually acceptable and garden homes and single
family homes were constructed. Most recently the neighbourhood community was forced
to address council against a rezoning application that would pennit the construction of a
restaurant, with bar, that would have dramatically increased traffic and noise levels into
the late evening. Again the neighbourhood community was willing to compromise for a
rezoning restricted to a professional building. No sooner had that agreement been
reached then the request changed to permit the construction of a car lot. After all that
stress and disgruntlement the project was abandoned by the developer.
Now we have in front of us yet another proposal for rezoning ofland, not at the entrance
to our community but actually in the residential development itself, from low density
residential to business park. When is this going to stop? The municipal plan is clear -
this is a residential neighbourhood and is zoned as such. Why are we continuously
having to respond to requests for rezoning? I understood that when this Council was
elected that we were going to follow a plan to ensure that all citizens were considered and
that the City would be poised for growth and well positioned as an inviting and
comfortable place to live. Money was spent on Consumer Drive to accommodate such
business, yet not much is happening there - why? A residential neighbourhood is no
place for an assembly plant no matter how clean or attractive it might be. In my opinion
allowing this exception to the rule will just open the door for further like development in
the area, reducing the quality of life and value of homes of those of us who have lived
and paid taxes here for a considerable number of years.
The neighbourhood is running out of energy. Many people, in fact members of my own
family, have chosen to move from the area. It should not be surprising that many
residents of the City are choosing to move to the outlying municipalities where zoning is
enforced and citizen concerns are listened to. Rothesay is a case in point, citizens are
listened to. The developer who owns the land is well aware of the zoning and would
have been at time of purchase. Despite the continued concerns voiced by the residents,
requests like this continue to be made of Council with no invitation of community
engagement before the formal process begins.
On behalf of myself, my family and my neighbours I ask you to please reject this request
for rezoning.
Sincerely,
Robert W. Rinehart

Development Proposal! Proposition d'amenagement
Description of Proposal; Description de la proposition
As shown on the enclosed plan. the owner plans to adiust the boundary line between PID00436725 and
55153217 and then subdivide each of the properties. It is proposed that Parcels A. B and C be rezoned
from RS-2 to 1-1 in order to be the zoned the same as the lots to which they are being ioined.
You must provide a scaled site plan that illustrates
your proposal. You m<<}' also pr(]1Jfde
photographs, building plans, elevation drawings
and any other form of information. The site plan
must show the dimensions of the property, the
location of all buildings, drfvew<<}'s, parking areas,
landscaping and signs. It is important that the
distance between the properly boundary and
buildings are shown.
v ous devez fournir un plan du site iJ /'echelle il/ustrant votre
proposition. Vous pouvez egalementfaurnir des
photographies, des plans de bdtiment, des dessins de plan
d'elivation et toute autre forme de renseignement. Le plan du
site dail indiquer les dimensions de la propriete,
l'emplacement de la totaliM des bQtiments, des allees, des
aires de stationnement, des amerlagements paysagers et des
panneaux de signalisation. Il est important d'indiquer la
distance entre les limites de la propriete et les bdtiments.
Provide reasons why these amendments should be approved. ; Fournir les raisons pour les queUes les modifications devraient
etre approuvees.
There is already an industrial use in place at 303 Golden Grove Road and the rezoning of Parcels A and
B would allow them to slightly expand their yard and operate their business in compliance with the 1-1
zoning standards. The rezoning of Parcel C is requested so that the new lot will not be divided by a
zoning line.
Provide any other infonnation about your proposal that would be helpful. ; Fournir tout autre renseignement concernant votre
proposition qui pourrait etre utile.
It is anticipated that Section 39 conditions will be imposed noon Parcels A and B at this time.
Conditions for Parcel C can either be imposed now or at a tater date when a specified proposal is made.
If the City wishes to defer imposing conditions at this time. we propose that future development of the
site be subiect to a statutory amendment.

SUBJECT: Proposed Rezoning - 128 Millidge Avenue
On January 29,2007, Common Council gave first and second reading to a
proposed Zoning By-law amendment to rezone the property at 128 Millidge
Avenue (PID 00047084) from "I-I" Light Industrial to "R-2" One and Two
Family Residential. As per the recommendation from the Planning Advisory
Committee, third reading has been withheld pending inspections by both the
City's Building Inspector and the Fire Department so that any Building / Fire
Code deficiencies can be identified. These inspections have been completed and
one violation was found (wood panelling did not meet the required flame spread
rating). This deficiency has since been rectified by covering the wood panelling
with a flame retardant paint to conform to the flame spread rating.
It would be appropriate for Common Council to give third reading to the proposed
Zoning By-law amendment.
RECOMMENDATION:
That this report be received and filed.

Your Worship and Fellow Councilors:
Re: Pension Board vs. J. Fen!Uson
I previously gave notice of the following motion and so move;
That all matters submitted to Common Council in relation to the legal action between the
Saint John Pension Board and 1. Ferguson be held in the Common Clerk's office until the
issue is finalized.
The Council has already deliberated on the issue and recommended by resolution that the
parties seek mediation in order to resolve the matter. I think it is time that the Council
now lets this matter run its course either through mediation or the courts.
I do not believe the Council meeting is the place for either side to argue their case. The
Council is not involved in this dispute and we should not let the issue become a matter at
the Council table that takes away from what we should be doing - tending to the public's
business.
I hope the parties are able to resolve their dispute as soon as possible and I ask for your
support for this motion.
Respectfully submitted,

SUBJECT: A 5- YEAR PLAN FOR
SAINT JOHN HARBOUR CLEAN-UP
PURPOSE OF REpORT
The purpose of this report is to seek Common Council's support for a possible expedited
5-year plan for Saint John Harbour Clean-Up.
BACKGROUND
Council understands well the urgent need for
action in addressing the greatest challenge facing
our community's water environment - removing
raw collected sewage from all waterways.
The City of Saint John has been making determined progress, but is the rate of that
change satisfactory? People in our own community, as well as government partners, have
asked "why 7 years" to achieve 100% treatment of collected municipal wastewater.

, 2007

In November, in staff discussions with Provincial and Federal officials in Ottawa, the
issue of completion scheduling was reviewed at some length. Is it possible to move more
quickly? Supporting the notion of a more urgent timeline has been Council's virtual
"mission" to see Harbour Clean-Up through; making this its highest priority.
Wastewater Service The wastewater service is one that exists to provide the public with
wastewater collection, treatment and disposal - safely into receiving waters. The effective
management of wastewater enhances public health, safety, and the environment.
Specifically, the benefits of wastewater treatment include prevention of waterborne
diseases, elimination of contaminants that can accumulate in the natural environment and
threaten aquatic and wildlife, and opening up water sources for tourism/recreational use.
ANALYSIS
Major Harbour Clean-Up work is well underway: including detailed engineering, design
and other preliminary work for the major wastewater pumping station near Marsh Creek
(at Marco Polo Bridge), along with related forcemain-sanitary collector installations
along Bayside Drive and Red Head Road. These cost-shared projects are funded through
the Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund (MRlF) Program in the amount of $8.3 million.
Vital, however, among the Harbour Clean-Up projects is the $47 million Eastern
Wastewater Treatment Facility, central to advancing treated wastewater service to the
Saint John public. Work on that modern treatment plant and extended outfall could start
this year, once the environmental impact process is finalized. We remain hopeful that a
tender call for that work will take place in 2007, with construction occurring over the
next 20 to 24 months.
Staff believes that with the commitment of government partners, the cooperation of land
owners (for required land or easement acquisition) and a resolute marshalling of
engineering and construction resources, necessary work could be completed in five years.
Plan Adooted bv Council
The November 2006, the Saint John Harbour Clean-Up proposal submitted under
covering letter to the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure & Communities outlined a 7-
year $79.8 million plan of action to complete 100% treatment of collected municipal
wastewater and elimination of all raw sewerage outfalls by the year 2013. All phases of
the project must be completed in order to achieve the necessary goal of 100% treatment
of collected municipal wastewater.
The Premier and the Province of New Brunswick have stated clearly their commitment to
completing Harbour Clean-Up improvements in a timely manner; making it a Provincial
priority.
All government partners have publicly supported the need to get this done.

An Exoedited Timeline
Although the November 2006 proposal identified a 7-year plan of action, consideration
should be given to an accelerated 5-year program. We believe that both the Government
of Canada and the Province of New Brunswick would also want to see this environmental
and public health problem solved sooner than later.
If the accelerated program was adopted, with the collection and pumping scheme
designed and constructed over five years, all existing raw sewerage outfalls could be
eliminated by 20 II. To help expedite the timeline, we would put out a major call for
proposals for a single engineering consultant team to design all remaining projects.
Support of a 5-year plan would represent a very strong statement of commitment to this
community, one that we believe the Saint John public would receive very well.
A tentative 5-year timeline for all treatment, collection and pumping work is attached.
Council must understand that adoption of an expedited timeline for Harbour Clean-Up
will mean an adjustment of Water & Sewerage Fund Capital Programs for the foreseeable
future. Staff would strive to maintain the projected long-term funding envelops.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that Common Council:
1. Endorse the expedited 5-year timeline for Saint John Harbour Clean-Up;
2. Request that the Government of Canada and the Province of New Brunswick support
such an expedited schedule; and
3. Encourage the community, affected land owners and other stakeholders to work with
the City of Saint John and Saint John Water in bringing about this much needed
environmental improvement.

REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL

The City of Saint Jobn
February 22,2007
His Worship Mayor Norm McFarlane
and Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Members of Council:
SUBJECT:
General Specifications - Division 27 Asphalt Concrete
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to propose that Council adopt the attached revision to Division 27 -
Asphalt Concrete.
BACKGROUND
In 2003, Municipal Operations & Engineering staff in consultation with Legal and Purchasing
staff undertook a comprehensive review of the City's policy for Construction Contracts and
associated General Specifications. On November 17, 2003 (M&C 2003-310), Common Council
adopted a new Tendering Policy for Construction Contracts that came into effect January I,
2004. The revisions included Division 2: Instructions to Tenderers and Tendering Procedures;
Division 4: Form of Tender; and Division 5: Form of Agreement. Additionally, at the November
17, 2003 session of Common Council, Council authorized that the Chief City Engineer may,
from time to time, revise the technical provisions (Divisions 7-30) of the General Specifications
to reflect changes in technology methods or construction industry practices.
ANALYSIS
As a result of our experience with recent construction contracts and research into the
construction specifications of other jurisdictions - namely, the Province of New Brunswick, it is
recommended that a payment adjustment clause be incorporated into Division 27 to permit
adjustments to be made to the price of the Performance Graded Asphalt Binder component of
asphalt concrete. It is proposed that the allowable Payment Adjustment for Change in
Performance Graded Asphalt Binder Price (the asphalt binder price only) will be implemented
when the price index for the month the asphalt is placed differs by more than 10% from the price

index for the month in which tenders for the Contract were opened. If the price index between
the two months increases then the Contractor will receive additional payment to compensate for
the increased cost of asphalt binder. Conversely, if the price index between the two months
decreases then the City will receive a credit for the decrease in asphalt binder costs. In the past,
the Contractor has assumed all the risk with respect to the volatile asphalt binder prices. The
inclusion of this "payment adjustment" clause should result in lower tendered prices for asphalt.
The revised Section 27.6.02 - Basis of Payment has been attached to this report.
INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES
The revision contained in this report has been discussed with the City's Legal Department and
the Purchasing Agent.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Common Council adopt the attached revision to Division 27 - Asphalt
Concrete, General Specifications.

General Specifications
Division 27 - Asphalt Concrete
27.6.02 Basis of Payment
Payment shall be made at the Contract Unit Prices as contained in the Schedule of Quantities and
Unit Prices, Division 4 of the Contract Specifications.
Performance Graded Asphalt Cement (PGAC), i.e. asphalt binder payments will be adjusted based
on Ministry of Transportation of Ontario Performance Graded Asphalt Cement Price Index. The price
index is published monthly and is available on the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario and the
Ontario Hot Mix Producers Association websites as follows:
WiNW.raqs.mto.gov.on .ca
WiNW.ohmpa.org
A payment adjustment for the change in price of PGAC I Asphalt Binder between the time of tender
opening for the Contract and the time of the placement of the asphalt concrete will apply to the
quantity of asphalt cement/binder accepted into the Work and will be calculated as follows if the price
index between the two (2) months differs by more than 10%:
PA = Payment adjustment for asphalt cement I binder in dollars
T = PG asphalt cement/binder price index for the month of tender opening
P = PG asphalt cement/binder price index for the month of paving
Q = Quantity of asphalt cement/binder in tonnes
When P > 1.1 T, the Contractor receives additional payment as follows:
PA = (P -1.1T) x Q
When P < 0.9 T, the Owner receives a credit as follows:
PA::: (O.9T - P) x Q

SUBJECT:
Historic Places Initiative - Properties Recommended for the
Canadian Register of Historic Places (Submission 7)
City of Saint John
This report provides an update on the status of the Historic Places Initiative and recommends
approval of an additional list of properties for the City of Saint John Local Register of Historic
Places, and that they be referred for inclusion in the New Brunswick and Canadian Register.
Back2:round
Canada's Historic Places Initiative - This federal initiative was put in place in ]999
with the following objectives:
To foster greater appreciation ofhisloric places;
To strengthen Canada's capacity to take appropriate action to conserve and maintain
the historical integrity of historic places; and
To provide financial incentives that will make the preservation and rehabilitation of
historic places more viable.
Canadian Register of Historic Places - The register developed by federal, provincial,
and territorial governments, provides on-line listings of formally recognized historic
places across the country. The register is located, at the historic places website, and
serves as a tool for Canadians to identify and promote historic places in Canada, and for
travelers to locate places of interest across the country. It provides detailed information
about historic places to planners, heritage professionals, policy-makers, developers,
industry, community organizations, teachers and students. Finally, it defines the places
eligible for and the Province of New Brunswick Property Tax Abatement Program and
hopefully for a renewed version the Government of Canada's Commercial Heritage
Properties Incentive Funaro be eligible for nomination to the Canadian Register of
Historic Places, a historic place must:
1. meet the definition of an historic place;
2. be formally recognized by a federal, provincial, or local authority (such as being
designated under our Preservation Areas Bylaw or approved by Council); and
3. meet the required documentation standards.
Inclusion of an historic place on the Canadian Register is honourific, and does not
involve additional controls on the historic place.

Commercial Heritage Properties Incentive Fund - The objective of this federal
program is to encourage taxable Canadian corporations in preserving Canada's heritage
properties, to the benefit of Canadians and communities throughout Canada. The
program is designed to award financial incentives to eligible commercial historic places
listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places in order to:
· save threatened historic properties from demolition or destruction;
· preserve historic properties for future generations through proper conservation; and
· develop new or enhance existing commercial purposes for historic properties within
the community.
This grant Program was designed to fund 20% of total eligible costs, up to a maximum of
$1,000,000. The initial allocation of$30 million is now committed, but the national
heritage community is advocating that this evolve into a tax credit program without a
maximum. Eligible projects must be consistent with the Standards and Guidelinesfor
the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada.
New Brunswick Property Tax Abatement Program for Heritage Properties - This
provincial program is an incentive for owners of heritage properties to conserve and use
designated historic places, thereby extending their useful life and preserving their
heritage value to the community. By undertaking an approved conservation project on a
designated heritage property, the Property Tax Abatement Program for Heritage
Properties allows the owner to be forgiven a portion of the net increase in provincial and
municipal property taxes resulting from the increase in the assessed value of the property
for a four-year period. Criteria for eligible projects include:
· real property listed in the New Brunswick Register of Historic Places.
· must undergo a significant restoration with construction costs of at least
$100,000, or 20% of the current assessed value of the property prior to the
conservation work, whichever is greater.
. at least 75% of the finished floor area of the heritage property shall not be the
primary residence ofthe owner.
· must adhere to the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic
Places in Canada.
The Heritage Development Board has sent a letter to the Minister expressing appreciation
for the program, but also requesting that consideration be given to expanding eligibility
by means of a lower minimum investment.
Future Use of the Reeistrv
It is expected that the information on the Historic Places website will have an increasing
influence on those making decisions regarding heritage tourism, a rapidly growing multi-
billion dollar industry. We believe that it is important that Saint John be well
represented. To that end, we are encouraging a broader registration of all eligible
buildings.
In the future under the Historic Places Initiative, there may be other incentive programs,
including tax deductions developed which may benefit a greater range of buildings.
Properties to be Recommended for the Canadian Ree:ister of Historic Places
To assist with compiling the material required for submission for buildings, funding was
obtained through the Heritage Branch, Province ofNB Department of Culture and Sport
Secretariat. Under the direction of staff in the Planning & Development Department,
consultants have been carrying out the research and documentation for each building
where the owners have made a request. This submission concludes Phase 2 of the
February 22, 2007
Page 3
funding received from the province. Phase 3 funding of $30,000 has been recived and
work is expected to start in the near future.
The 30 properties listed below in the recommendation are proposed for inclusion in the
Local Registry and submission to be included in the Provincial and National Registry of
Historic Places. The owners of these properties have requested that their property be
listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places. A letter of consent from each of these
owners has been received and wi11 be part of the documentation.
All of these properties are within currently designated preservation areas. The Heritage
Development Board has reviewed these properties and recommends them for listing on
the registry. These properties will bring the total registered to 292.
It should be noted that a significant number of other buildings primarily on King Street
East and on the Lower West Side have been researched, but recommendation for
inclusion on the registry has been on hold until those areas are included in the City's
Preservation Areas Bylaw. The Heritage Development Board anticipates summiting
recommendation to Common Council in the spring regarding the designation of these
areas.
