The Committee had originally considered the attached report at its May 17, 2011 meeting. This matter was considered under other business at the June 21, 2011 PAC meeting. No further public input was sought, and there were no additional presentations made at the meeting concerning this application. In the Committee's deliberations, members still expressed the desire for a secondary access for the subdivision, which was also the desire of the PAC in 2007. However, due to the jurisdiction of the Committee a secondary access cannot be a condition of approval under the circumstances, nor can PAC recommend a secondary access as part of the assent of this phase of the development, since the land acquired for the secondary access is not part of this application. While members of the Committee continue to share the residents' concern with regards to increased traffic volume and safety with the approval of further residential lots, after further consideration the Committee resolved to adopt the staff recommendation provided in the May 17 report, which is set out below for your convenience. The Committee also approved the new street name Topsail Terrace, but at the request of the developer at the May 17 meeting did not grant the variance relating to the reduced street right of way width standard. RECOMMENDATION: That Common Council assent to one or more subdivision plans, in one or more phases, in general accordance with the submitted Cedar Point Anchorage Subdivision, Phase 7 tentative plan, as well as to any necessary municipal services and public utility easements, on the condition that: 349 -2- The plan is amended to include a 6 metre wide Land for Public Purposes dedication in the vicinity of proposed Lots 36 -G to 42 -G between Anchorage Avenue (extension) and the Nature Trust of New Brunswick Inc. property (PID No. 55198436). 2. That Common Council authorize the preparation and execution of one or more City /Developer Subdivision Agreements to ensure provision of the required work and facilities, including detailed site and drainage plans for the approval of the Chief City Engineer or his designate, and any required contribution to the pumping station and potential force main upgrades, as well as any additional infrastructure costs associated with this proposed subdivision development.

Parking was removed when the street transitioned from one -way to two -way traffic. ANALYSIS An analysis of traffic flows under two -way conditions indicates that curb side parking is feasible along the west of the street. The attached figure shows space for eight spaces. As the Parking Commission would install a Pay -and- Display machine, painting of parking lines would not be necessary. The following changes to the Traffic By -Law and the Parking By -Law would be required to permit the re- establishment of parking on the west side of Dorchester Street: • Amend the Traffic By-Law by deleting Dorchester Street, Both Sides, from Union Street to Carleton Street from Schedule `B' (No Parking Anytime); • Amend the Traffic By -Law by adding Dorchester Street, East Side, from Union Street to Carleton Street to Schedule `B' (No Parking Anytime); • Amend the Traffic By -Law by adding Dorchester Street, Union Street to Carleton Street to Schedule `J' (No Overnight Parking); and • Amend the Parking By -Law by adding Dorchester Street, Union Street to Carleton Street, West Side to Schedule `A' (Parking Meters). Given the construction underway in the area and the urgency of the request expressed by the businesses concerned, this report has been prepared to enable positive action by Council in response to the request. Report to Common Council (M &C 2011- 189) Parking — Dorchester Street INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES July 18`h, 2011 Page 2 of 2 The Parking Commission has been consulted and staff there has advised that the Pay -and- Display machine could be installed soon; within the next two weeks. The City Solicitor's office is drafting appropriate wording for By -Law amendments. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that Common Council take steps to amend the Traffic By -Law and the Parking By -Law to permit the establishment of parking on the west side of Dorchester Street as outlined in this report and refer the matter to the City Solicitor for drafting of necessary By -Law amendments. Respectfully submitted, J. M. Paul Groody, P. Eng. Commissioner, Municipal Operations & Engineering atrick Woods, CGA City Manager P � opQ -an IN Typical 6.0 metre long on- street parking spaces.
