OPEN SESSION
January 13, 1999
Your Worship and Councillors:
SUBJECT: Rezoning
31 Golden Grove Road
El
City of Saint John
On December 14, 1998 Common Council referred the above matter to the
Planning Advisory Committee for a report and recommendation. The Committee
considered the attached report at its January 12, 1999 meeting.
Mr. Michael Bamford of Northrup Bamford spoke on behalf of the applicant. Mr.
Bamford indicated that a revised site design had been submitted prior to the
meeting that would avoid the necessity of the consideration of any variances. Mr.
Bamford indicated that the development would be constructed in accordance to
the Flood Risk Area By -law provisions, and that the required compensatory area
could be provided by two residential properties owned by the proponent on
Simpson Drive.
There were six (6) area residents that spoke against the proposal. The residents
primary concern was related to the existing flooding for the area, and how the
proposed development would adversely affect this situation. Many residents felt
that the subject site should remain undeveloped since it acts as a detention area for
storm water. There were also concerns raised regarding increased traffic, noise,
lighting, and close proximity to long - existing residential properties. Three letters
were also received, and one petition signed by a number of area residents was also
circulated but it was returned so it could be submitted directly to Council.
After careful consideration of the matter, the Committee resolved to adopt staff
recommendation. In addition, the Committee also resolved to suggest that the
subject property be acquired by the City and used as a holding area for storm
water. Such acquisition could be accomplished by exchanging other City -owned
land outside of the Glen Falls area, or, alternatively, the City could acquire the
land through purchase.
Planning Advisory Committee Page 2
January 13, 1999
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That this rezoning application be denied.
2. That Common Council consider acquiring the subject property located at
31 Golden Grove Road, as identified as a portion of NBGIC #55050322.
Respectfully submitted,

Common Council at a Public Hearing on Monday, January 18, 1999.
The Act also authorizes the Committee to grant reasonable variances from the
requirements of the Zoning By -law. Conditions can be imposed by the
Committee.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO COMMITTEE:
That this application be denied.
BACKGROUND:
On April 2; 1996 the Planning Advisory Committee considered a rezoning
application from the same landowner. The application involved the rezoning of
the subject property to "TH" Townhouse in order to permit the development of
Dante Foriere Page 3
31 Golden Grove Road January S, 1999
twelve (12) one - storey townhouse units abutting a new private street. While staff
and the Committee supported this application, it was denied by Common Council
due to concerns regarding flooding.
INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES:
Engineering has provided the following comments regarding this application:
(a) All site surface water must be directed to Marsh Creek, not Golden Grove
Road. Catch basins will be required to prevent erosion of the bank.
(b) If two driveways are permitted, the western access should be restricted to
exit only for delivery vehicles coming from the rear entrances. The main
entrance should be restricted to 11 metres (36 feet) as provided by the
Zoning By -law.
(c) Concrete curbing and sidewalk must be constructed across the full
frontage of the property with proper dropped panels at the driveways.
(d) Municipal water is available from Golden Grove Road, and municipal
sewer is available in the rear of the property in a service easement.
Building and Technical Services has indicated that the proposed commercial
development must be constructed in accordance to the Flood Risk Area By -law.
The spatial separation distance between the two buildings may be an issue
depending on the area of the exposing building faces. This can be determined
when building plans are submitting for approval.
Saint John Energy has adequate facilities along Golden Grove Road to service
the propose commercial development. A 3 -metre (10 -foot) wide utility easement
will be required. The costs associated with the service extension will be borne by
the Developer.
NBTel has indicated that facilities are available from Golden Grove Road to
service the proposed development.
Fire Department has no comments regarding this proposal.
Saint John Police Force has not submitted any comments regarding this matter.

ANALYSIS:
Site and Neighbourhood
The subject property is situated near the intersection of Golden Grove Road and
Simpson Drive in the Glen Falls area (see attachments). The site is undeveloped
with a flat, low -lying topography.
One - family dwellings surround the site on the east, and the Marsh Creek and a
City pumping station are at the rear. A newly constructed six -bay car wash
facility is adjacent to the west at the intersection of Simpson Drive and Golden
Grove Road. The Exhibition Park horseracing track is to the south and
surrounded by high board -on -board fencing.
Development Proposal and Required Variances
The landowner, Dante Foriere, is requesting permission to construct two
commercial buildings. These buildings would be perpendicular to Golden Grove
Road and have a combined ground floor area of approximately 1161 square
metres (11,840 square feet). The two buildings would provide for eight (8) new
businesses. The application does not indicate the nature of these businesses
The development requires a minimum of 42 off-street parking spaces. The
applicant is illustrating a total of 68 spaces. The application does not address
signage. The Zoning By -law permits facia signage to a maximum total area of 48
square metres (514 square feet), plus one free - standing sign with a maximum of 6
square metres (65 square feet) — double-sided.
In regards to signage, Common Council can also impose more restrictive
conditions if deemed desirable. For instance, when the adjacent property (civic #9
Simpson Drive) to the west was rezoned for the car wash facility, a Section 39
condition was imposed that limited the height of all free - standing signs to a
maximum of 7.5 metres (25 feet). If this development were to be approved such a
condition would also be appropriate.
The proposal can satisfy all applicable Zoning By -law requirements with the
exception of the following:
(a) The proponent is requesting two two -way commercial accesses onto
Golden Grove Road where only one is permitted, and the proposed
Dante Foriere
31 Golden Grove Road
Page 5
January 8, 1999
commercial accesses are above the maximum width allowance of 9 metres
(30 feet).
(b) The design does not provide a minimum 2 -metre (6.6 -foot) wide
landscaping area along the front property line or along the side property
boundaries. There is also a requirement to provide at least 3 metres (10
feet) of landscaping width between the parking area and adjacent
residential properties (NBGIC #426049 and #299008).
Consistent with other similar proposed commercial projects, the requested
variances relating to landscaping and increased commercial access width could
not be, supported if this rezoning was approved. Given the close proximity to
residential properties, especially the adjoining Eric Martin Property at 41 Golden
Grove Road (N13GIC #00426049) to the east, adequate landscaping is critical in
order to successfully integrate this commercial development into the
neighbourhood. Staff would, however, be supportive of allowing a second access
for only one -way use given the lot's frontage.
Municipal Development Plan and Proposed Rezonin
The proponent is requesting to rezone the subject property from "RS -2" One and
Two Family Suburban Residential to "B -2" General Business in order to carryout
the proposed commercial development.
The Municipal Development Plan has designated the area as Low Density
Residential. The policies of the Municipal Plan for such areas permit the
development of small -scale commercial uses, provided that measures can be
undertaken to prevent any nuisance or inappropriate impacts on adjacent
residential uses. Specifically, the Municipal Plan restricts commercial
developments to approximately 1000 square metres (10,764 square feet) within
residential areas. Rezoning is also required. If this application would to be
approved, a Section 39 condition would be necessary to reduce the overall ground
floor area of the project to this maximum allowance.
The adjoining property to the west where the newly constructed car wash is
situated is on the edge of the existing Rothesay/McAllister Service Corridor area.
The appropriate boundary of this commercial district is the Simpson
Drive /Golden Grove Road intersection. The lands to the east and north are
residential. The Municipal Plan does not specifically provide any support for the
extension of the commercial Service Corridor. While design improvements for
Dante Foriere
31 Golden Grove Road
Page 6
January 8, 1999
the proposed project could be explored, the close proximity to the established
residential neighbourhood will not change.
Perhaps in the future as commercial development continues in the McAllister
Drive /Westmorland Road area, and a new street connects that area to Golden
Grove Road, there will be justification to extend the Service Corridor further east
along Golden Grove Road. Until such time, commercial developments cannot be
supported beyond the edge of the identified commercial district. Therefore, staff
cannot support the approval of the requested development. The previous proposal
by the landowner for townhouses still seems to be a more appropriate land use.
The Flood Risk Abatement Program
The subject property is situated within the Glen Falls Flood Risk Area and is
subject to the provisions of the Flood Risk Area By -law of the City of Saint John.
The Flood Risk Abatement Program allows for development within areas subject
to flooding, provided prescribed engineering and building techniques are followed
to minimum the possible risk of damage to new development, while at the same
time reducing the risk of adversely affecting surrounding developed properties
already in the flood risk area.
Should this development be approved, all site work and construction would be
subject to the requirements of this By -law. In particular, the Flood Risk By -law
requires development not to obstruct or interfere with the normal floodway or free
flow of floodwaters during a flood period. This will required that no building be
situated closer than 13 metres (43 feet) from the center of Marsh Creek.
Another important aspect of the Flood Risk By -law is where development will
reduce the flood storage capacity of a property, the developer must provide
compensating flood storage. Due to the proposed design, compensatory storage
will have to be provided off -site, or, at the discretion of the City, the landowner
may be able to provide a sum of money should the necessary storage area not be
possible.
CONCLUSION:
The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property from "RS -2" One and
Two Family Suburban Residential to "B -2" General Business in order to carryout
the proposed commercial development. This application would extend the
commercial zoning further east along Golden Grove Road. Staff cannot support

City of Saint John
Dear Mr. O'Hearn
In reference to the proposed rezoning and Commercial Development of 31 Golden Grove Road
I not be more opposed to the proposed plans for this site. I drive by this site everyday and
the area is not large enough to house such a facility. It will stretch straight back to the Marsh
Creek, through a very wet swamp area and is far too close to a residential property.
The development on this corner has gone too far already. My family has lived in this area for
close to 40 years_ We have had to put up with the development and expansion of the Three
Mile, the Backrail Bar, race track fires and noise, and the unsightly view of the development on
Mcallister Drive (Wendy's, BIockbuster, etc.)
We already have too much traffic in the area. My son was struck, but fortunately not hurt, by a
drunk driver from the back rail bar. Summer nights we are confined indoors because of the
noise from the bars. I expect that there will be more traffic coming from the car wash as the
weather warms. I am sure there are many more suitable areas for a business like the proposed
one_
Could the city please consider the flooding in the area that greatly affects my property. Any
more development will only increase the already present problems. It does not take much rain to
flood my yard now. It had been improving over the years, but now I fear it will be a regular
problem. I had water that reached my garage in the last rain, which represents about 20 or more
feet of water.
r + �
JAN 12 1999.
I try to keep my yard looking the best that I can. Floods make it very hard to maintain a nice
lawn. I feel like I am throwing my money away each time I hear of a new development. Will I
eventually be completely under water?
This is a residential area, that was once a quiet and enjoyable place to live. It now has
disruptions that we did not originally have to endure. I would like to see the area stay as quiet as
it can be - as a residential area. If the city insists on developing the area like this, perhaps they
would like to purchase my house so I could be rid of this constant fight_

HER WORSHIP SHIPLEY A. MCALARY
AND MEMBERS OF COMMON COUNCIL
SUBJECT: Appointment of Arbitration Board in the Matter of Collective
Bargaining between the City of Saint John and the Saint John
Fire Fighters' Association, I.A.F.F., Local 771
BACKGROUND
The existing collective agreement between the City of Saint John and I.A.F.F.,
Local 771 covers the term January 1, 1994 to December 31, 1.997. Collective
bargaining for a renewed agreement commenced in December 1997. Although all
articles have been "signed -off' by negotiators, wages remain outstanding.
We are advised in the attached letter from the Department of Labour that a request
has been received from the I.A.F.F. Local 771 for the appointment of an
Arbitration Board in the matter of the unsettled contract dispute. Further, the
Minister has deemed it advisable to appoint a Board and has requested the name of
the City's nominee to this Board.
ANALYSIS
This is an interest arbitration which will result in a collective agreement between
the City of Saint John and the Saint John Fire Fighters' Association. As such, as
in past arbitrations, the selection of a nominee for the Board is very important. In
these particular circumstances, the issue central to the dispute is wages.
Staff have considered a variety of options and put forward the name of Gerald M.
(Gary) Lawson of the firm Lawson & Creamer. Mr. Lawson was the City nominee
to the last interest arbitration Board.
i
Mr. Lawson has practiced law in Saint John for approximately twenty years and,
in recent years, has concentrated in the fields of labour and commerciallbusiness
law. He has been involved in labour negotiations for various employer clients, has
represented employers in labour arbitration matters both as an appointee and as the
lawyer for the employer, and acted in a number of other areas for employers. He
is active in the community and will bring to the Board an appreciation for the
economy and the needs of Saint John.
INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES
This matter has been discussed with the Fire Chief and the City Solicitor.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Mr. Gerald M. (Gary) Lawson be named as the City's
nominee on the Arbitration Board in the matter of the collective bargaining dispute
between the City of Saint John and the Saint John Fire Fighters' Association,
Local 771, I.A.F.F.

Your Worship and Members of Council,
SUBJECT:
Concrete Versus Asphalt Sidewalks
1 11 • X4 i ' lN�f111Q11�
City of Saint John
Common Council, at its meeting of February 1, 1999, requested that staff prepare
a report regarding the type of materials used in curb and sidewalk construction.
Curbs and sidewalks are an essential component of the street infrastructure system.
Curbs contribute to safety, by defining the edge of the street for motorists and
pedestrians, and to control of storm drainage. Sidewalks provide pedestrian ways,
separate and apart from those designated for vehicles.
The primary objectives of building curbs and sidewalks are vehicle /pedestrian
safety, appearance, satisfaction of citizens, attractiveness to business and tourists,
durability and cost effectiveness.
ANALYSIS
Current Curb and Sidewalk Policy
In conjunction with development of the 1987 Capital Budget, the question of
asphalt versus concrete sidewalks was a matter considered by Common
Council of the day.
M &C- 99.54
February 18, 1999
Page 2
As a result, it adopted the following policy on April 21, 1987:
♦ All new sidewalks will be constructed of concrete.
♦ Any total reconstruction of existing sidewalks will be of concrete.
♦ In all cases new curbing or reconstructed curbing will be
constructed of concrete.
♦ Maintenance of concrete curbs and sidewalks will be performed
with concrete.
♦ Maintenance of asphalt curb and sidewalk will be asphalt.
♦ This policy does not preclude special curb and sidewalk surface
treatment as approved by the City, for example, the CBD area.
At the time, approximately two - thirds of our sidewalks were of asphalt
construction, the greatest proportions of which were in the central and eastern parts
of the city. The policy decision made in 1987 was a pivotal one for the
development of the street infrastructure system. It set a course for higher
construction standards that would eventually see the replacement of asphalt
sidewalks with concrete. The result can be seen today on countless City streets -
the progress since 1987 has been quite remarkable.
Costs and Life Expectancy
The table below shows the cost comparison and the life expectancy of asphalt and
concrete curb and sidewalk. The approximate estimated cost includes excavation,
backfill and supply and installation.
* Cost includes a 600 mm wide asphalt pad required for the
initial placement of asphalt curb.

Page 3
Report to Common Council, M & C 87 -184, dated April 16, 1987, relative to the
1987 Capital Budget, stated:
"There are many factors beyond economics that bear on this policy
decision. It is recognized that concrete sidewalks have an aesthetic
appeal, and that most other municipal jurisdictions have opted for
concrete as a sidewalk surface, believing in its durability and visual
appeal. Concrete also tends to create a more definite visual definition
between the road surface and the pedestrian area in the street right
of way. "
Asphalt is a by- product of petroleum refining, a dark material, ranging from
viscous to solid in consistency, and consisting principally of bitumen
(hydrocarbon). Hot -mix asphalt used for curbing and sidewalk construction is made
by mixing hot, dry aggregates (crushed sand) with hot asphalt cement in a mixing
plant.
Concrete is a building material made of Portland cement, water and sand, gravel
or crushed stone. Portland cement contains lime, silica sand, alumina and iron
components. The concrete mixture hardens by the crystallization of its components
to form a solid material. The hardening is caused by the chemical reaction of the
Portland cement and water, called hydration.
As outlined in the table above, concrete is initially more expensive to install than
asphalt. This is due mainly to the additional cost for formwork for sidewalk
construction and the longer period of time required for the concrete to cure, before
being subjected to pedestrian traffic.
The major differences between concrete and asphalt occur after installation.
Concrete, a non - flexible material, is not as prone to localized frost heaving nor are
the effects as visibly noticeable and as permanent as in asphalt.
Concrete surfaces are also not susceptible to damage by gasoline, oil or diesel fuel,
all of which may cause rapid deterioration of asphalt.
While concrete is more susceptible to cracking, cracking in asphalt cannot be
controlled. Crack repair in concrete is comparatively more expensive than in
asphalt but is generally more permanent. Repair of asphalt cracks does not provide
any assurance against continued breaking of the surface. There is significantly less
chance of continued cracking in concrete.
M &C -99 -S4
February 18, 1999
Page 4
Sidewalk repair work caused by unanticipated underground utility repair, or other
reasons, is costly. For concrete, the cost of the repair work is initially higher,
although reinstatement can be done so that the concrete sidewalk is restored to its
original condition. Repair work in asphalt sidewalk is less expensive initially, but
presents constant maintenance problems thereafter. An asphalt sidewalk is never
quite the same after a repair work.
Asphalt sidewalks are susceptible to structural failure which may result from
consolidation, or shear, developing in the subgrade, sub -base, or surface. Also, this
movement may result from sub -base softening during the spring melt period. One
of the first signs of failure is the occurrence of cracks and surface settlement. this
is noticeable on various streets with asphalt sidewalks, or asphalt median strips
between concrete curb and concrete sidewalks, or between concrete sidewalks and
buildings, where the asphalt surface is lower than the concrete surface by
approximately 40 mm. This causes a trip hazard and the asphalt requires
resurfacing.
Over the long term, when anticipated maintenance and inflation costs are projected
over the life span of the facility, the concrete sidewalk is more cost effective than
asphalt sidewalk.
CONCLUSION
The City's inventory of curb and sidewalk infrastructure has seen significant
improvement since 1987. Streets generally look better, drainage is more
effectively directed to storm sewers, pedestrians have safer routes and
infrastructure is expected to last much longer. The end result is a more cost -
effective, higher quality street system.
We believe that the policy adopted in 1987 was sound and, in order to continue
progress in improving transportation system infrastructure, should be maintained.

OPEN SESSION
Her Worship Mayor Shirley A. McAfary
And Members of Common Council
Yours Worship and Members of Common Council:
SUBJECT:
1999 CAPITAL BUDGET
BACKGROUND:
City of Saint John
The purpose of this report is to present to members of Council, the staff's
recommendation with respect to the 1999 Capital Budget for both the General Fund and
The Water and Sewer Utility.
The importance of the Capital Budget for both of these funds cannot be overstated.
Each year considerable interest is shown with respect to the Operating Budgets in
anticipation of possible increases in either the municipal tax rate or the rates charged for
water and sewer services. However, all too often, little attention is paid to the
recommendations contained in the Capital Budget Submissions.
Citizens should understand that while the Operating Budgets have a very direct and
immediate effect, the proposed plans, programs and expenditures contained therein are
simply for the ensuing year. On the other hand, recommendations contained in the
Capital Budget submissions have a far longer impact on the finances of the municipality.
Indeed, proposed expenditures, or more properly referred to as "investments" in 1999
will have a financial impact on the Municipality in the form of debt retirement charges for
the decade that follows.
More significant is the fact that proposed investments in any one -year are an indication
of the direction that the Council wishes to pursue over the next few years. The capital
budget recommendations represent: an investment of taxpayers' monies in projects that
are ongoing for a number of years that are of a magnitude that simply could not be
funded in any one year; that are necessary to maintain the municipal infrastructure and
to protect our environment and finally; necessary to serve as a catalyst to encourage
private sector investment and to further economic development opportunities within the
Report to Common Council 1999 Capital Budget Page 2
February 24, 1999
community. It is for these reasons that particular attention should be paid to these
recommendations.
THE PROCESS:
During the last half of 1998, all civic departments, municipal commissions and other
organizations made written submissions to Council with respect to their anticipated
capital requirements for fiscal 1999. These particular submissions revealed that not only
was there a need for significant investment in an aging municipal infrastructure, but that
there was no shortage of ideas with respect to specific projects that would have been
seen as desirable by citizens of our community. The initial submission reviewed by
Council contained requests amounting to more than seventeen million dollars and, even
then, would not see all of the projects completed in 1999.
As Council reviewed the submissions, the community was meeting in a one -day session
entitled `Imagine the Possibilities ", an initiative of Enterprise Saint John. The outcome of
this session was a long list of community expectations that was created from the input of
over 200 volunteers from the region. Staff reviewed all of the various capital budget
submissions and cross referenced them to the expectations of the community, while at
the same time listening to the views and comments of members of Common Council as
the items were put forward.
It must be stated that staff would very much like to be in a position to be recommending
to Council a Capital Budget far in excess of what is before you. However, as Council is
aware, we have previously advised that the Municipality should endeavor to maintain a
relatively consistent borrowing level in order to avoid future upward pressure on the
property tax rate. It is for this reason that not every item requested is being
recommended and that the total recommended Capital Budget for the General Fund
amounts to $11,927,000. When proceeds from the sale of other capital assets are
considered, the result is that borrowings will be at a level somewhat higher than that
which the administration has been promoting. While a concern, the increase is directly
the result of a very proactive approach to spur economic development through the use of
incentives. As for the Water and Sewer Capital Budget, staff had previously
recommended that the funding levels be maintained at a level consistent with the
preceding year.
Finding an appropriate balance between the financial capabilities of the municipality and
the need to replace infrastructure and to initiate projects is the challenge before Council
as it considers the proposed capital program. The following summary attempts to find
"this balance" while at the same time, responding to the major concerns of this Council
and of this community.
ENCOURAGING ECONOMfc DEVELOPMENT:
The encouragement of economic development and tax base growth has been, and
remains, the number one priority of Common Council. Just a few years ago the Capital
Program contained little reference to this stated desire. While the municipality invested
in roads and streets, it remained essentially reactive to certain requests that were made
to encourage economic development. The 1999 Capital Program identifies a much
more proactive role for the municipality in this area. The Budget contemplates an
Report to Common Council : 1999 Capital Budget Page 3
February 24, 1999
investment of $3,613,000 in incentives aimed specifically at spurring development.
Included in this total is $2,000,000 for incentives for the development of what has
become known as Business Parks, $400,000 for continued enhancements to our three
Industrial Parks, and a further $1,180,000 has been provided for the continuation of the
residential incentive program along with programs to preserve our stock of historical
properties. While this is a significant commitment by the Municipality, it must be
acknowledged that the City's investment will only occur if there is an indication of
willingness by the private sector to, in some cases, take the risk and in others to make
necessary lands available. The point being made is that the recommendations are such
that they are committing the municipality to a major investment in incentives should the
private sector decide to take advantage of these programs. In the end it should be a
'Win-win" for both the private and public sectors.
PROTECTING PROPERTY INVESTMENT IN THE FLOOD RISK AREA:
In 1998 Council received information respecting a number of possible commercial
developments in the eastern area of the City. During every discussion, foremost in
Council's mind has been the protection of those homes and properties that currently
exist within the Flood Risk Area. In response to the concerns of both Council and
property owners in the area, and in an effort to provide for continued development, the
1999 Capital Budget recommends a number of specific projects in that area, namely;
1. Glen Falls Floodway Program
Recently, the City has acquired a number of properties in the Glen for
the purpose of constructing a series of floodways to provide
compensatory flood storage. The system has been designed to allow
for a phased implementation prior to actual development in the area.
In 1999, the plan calls for an expenditure of $500,000 in addition to
the design work and property acquisition that has already occurred.
2. Repair of Tide Boards along the entire Creek
3. Channel Improvements
$500,000
$25,000
$50,000
4. An Analysis of the Potential Of Additional Storage Capacity $50,000
It has been recognized that a significant potential exists to reduce
flooding in the area by increasing the storage capacity upstream.
One such location would be the raising of the water level in Mystery
Lake. There are many issues to be resolved prior to undertaking this
step. The 1999 budget is recommending the initial investigation of
the potential of this course of action.
5. Culvert Repair and Replacement on Golden Grove $60,000
• _ ._; �iI
Report to Common Council : 1999 Capital Budget Page 4
February 24, 1999
Staff would suggest that, in total, this is a very significant commitment to ensure the
protection of property in the area. In addition, staff has also begun discussions with the
Province with respect to the replacement of the Rothesay Avenue Bridge at the Three
Mile House.
MAINTAINING AND ENHANCING THE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK:
The 1999 Capital Budget includes a total allocation of $3,815,000 with $3,200,000 to be
expended on roads, streets, and sidewalks and $615,000 on drainage improvements.
Not only are these expenditures important to residents, but the condition of this
infrastructure is always discussed in conjunction with economic development. The
attachments list each job that is planned, however, staff would draw your attention to the
fact that work is slated for Rothesay Avenue, Simms Comer, Loch Lomond Road, and a
host of other locations in every area of the City.
PROTECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT:
During the last half dozen years there has been increased emphasis by the City on
protecting the environment. The Municipality has spent millions of dollars to reduce the
outflow of waste into the Harbour and the river system, as well as, to properly close out
the old land fill site. The 1999 Capital Budget, if adopted, will result in the continuance of
a number of programs and projects all aimed at improving the environment. Some of the
more notable projects are:
Closing of the Spruce Lake Landfill $250,000
Kennebecasis Sanitary Sewer $705,000
(including Provincial cost sharing)
Millidgeville Treatment Plant $950,000
(including Provincial cost sharing)
Churchill Boulevard Sanitary Sewer $2,345,000
(including Provincial cost sharing)
Milford Road, Millidge Avenue, Oakland Street, $268,000
Loch Lomond Road, Egbert Street and others
In addition to these projects, the budget also anticipates investments in many of our
treatment plants, our processing equipment and in all areas where our environment
could be affected.
ENSURING A CONSTANT DELIVERY OF SAFE POTABLE DRINKING WATER:
There is perhaps no other service that is provided to citizens that is so often taken for
granted. Nevertheless, there is no other service that is as important and it is for this
reason that the 1999 Capital Budget envisages a level of investment in this system that
is consistent with preceding years. This is not an area where staff could recommend
Report to Common Council : 1999 Capital Budget Page 5
February 24, 1999
delaying or reducing investment. Total investment in the water system is recommended
to be $2,660,000.
Most of the projects are to replace an aging infrastructure. Sections of the main
transmission lines, gate valves, sections of the distribution lines and smaller projects
designed to increase water pressure in certain areas are all planned for 1999 as the
attachments indicate.
MAINTAINING OUR COMMITMENT TO PROCESSES SUPPORTED BY TECHNOLOGY:
Many of the processes that are employed by the municipality to provide service and to
respond to citizens in need are dependent upon technology. Everything from issuing a
cheque to a supplier, to preparing a letter, to dispatching emergency response crews is
dependent on both hardware and software. It is for this reason that the Municipality
must continue to invest in technology. The 1999 Capital Budget includes a
recommended investment in technology upgrades amounting to $772,000 necessary to
support processes needed to deliver service to citizens. Of this amount, $158,000 can
be directly related to the Year 2000 issue.
CONCLUSION
As was indicated previously, not every request or identified need has been
recommended to be funded, or if recommended, not necessarily to the level requested.
In some cases, staff would acknowledge that very strong justification and rational has
been offered in support of a request. Nevertheless, Staff is of the view that this
recommended budget is a significant investment of taxpayers' dollars in those areas
deemed most critical to this community at this point in our history.
The recommended 1999 Capital Budget for the General Fund amounts to $11,927,000
and for the Water and Sewer Utility, $6,800,000, for a total investment of $18,727,000.
The recommendations are intended to respond to the primary objectives of this Council
and the Community.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
As a result of the foregoing, it is recommended that Common Council adopt the following
resolutions.
1) RESOLVED that the amount of $11,927,000 be adopted as the estimate of the
Capital Programs to be undertaken within the General Fund for the year 1999.
2) RESOLVED that the amount of $6,800,000 be adopted as the estimate of the net
expenditures for Capital Programs to be undertaken within the Water and Sewer
Utility for the year 1999.

BORROWING RESOLUTIONS
rn.
77
City of Saint John
The Bank of Nova Scotia has requested certain resolutions to be passed by
Common Council to formalize the line of credit with the City. Council normally
passes the required resolutions during the first part of the year. The Bank
requires the appropriate resolutions for 1999.
ANALYSIS:
The City has had an $11,200,000 line of credit with the Bank of Nova Scotia for a
number of years. This amount represents $3,200,000 for general operating
purposes and $8,000,000 for bridge financing on capital expenditures. It is most
unlikely that actual borrowings will reach these combined levels, but there is no
harm in having the credit limits in place as a precautionary measure.
PAGE TWO
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that for general operating purposes:
I. That the Commissioner of Finance is hereby authorized to borrow, on behalf
of the City of Saint John (the Corporation), from the Bank of Nova Scotia
(The Bank) from time to time by way of promissory note, a sum or sums not
exceeding at any one time three million two hundred thousand dollars
$3,200,000) to meet current expenditures of the Corporation for the year
1999;
2. That any two of the Commissioner of Finance, the Deputy City Manager,
Comptroller or the Budget Officer are hereby authorized to sign on behalf of
the Corporation and to furnish to the Bank from time to time a promissory
note or notes sealed with the corporate seal for the sum or sums so
borrowed with interest at such rate as the bank may from time to time
determine;
3. That the Commissioner of Finance is hereby authorized and directed to
furnish to the Bank at the time of each borrowing and at such other times as
the Bank may from time to time request, a statement showing the nature and
amount of the estimated revenues of the current year not yet collected or
where the estimates for the year have not been adopted, a statement
showing the nature and amount of the estimated revenues of the Corporation
as set forth in the estimates adopted for the next preceding year and also
showing the total of any amounts borrowed in the current year and in any
preceding year that have not been repaid, and
4. That the Commissioner of Finance is hereby authorized and directed to apply
in payment of all sums borrowed from the Bank, with interest thereon, all of
the monies hereafter collected or received on account or realized in respect of
the taxes levied for the current year and for any preceding years and all of
the monies collected or received from any other source.
PAGE THREE
RECOMMENDATIONS (contd.)
4. And it is further recommended that for the purposes of bridge financing on
Capital Expenditures. That the City of Saint John establish a revolving term
loan to bridge finance capital expenditures to a maximum of $8,000,000 and
the Commissioner of Finance be authorized to borrow from the Bank to the
specified limit, and
5. That any two of the Commissioner of Finance, the Deputy City Manager,
Comptroller or Budget Officer are hereby authorized to sign on behalf of the
Corporation and to furnish to the Bank from time to time a promissory note
or notes sealed with the corporate seal for the sum or sums so borrowed with
interest at such rate as the Bank may from time to time determine, and
6. That any two of the Commissioner of Finance, the Deputy City Manager,
Comptroller, or the Budget Officer are hereby authorized to sign on behalf of
the Corporation and to furnish to the Bank an Agreement or Agreements
under the seal of the Corporation providing for payment to the Bank of all
amounts required to be paid by the Bank pursuant to each promissory note of
the Corporation guaranteed by the Bank with interest at such rate as the
Bank may from time to time determine and of a guarantee fee in respect of
each such promissory note at such rate as the Bank may from time to time
determine.

SUBJECT: Replacement of IBM AS400
Public Safety Communications Centre
BACKGROUND
City of Saint John
The Computer Aided Dispatch system and other associated computer applications
utilized by the Public Safety Communications Centre (PSCC) operate on an IBM
AS400 Model F45 computer located at Fire Station #1.
The City was recently notified by IBM that the Model F45, originally purchased in
1989, will no longer be supported by them after March 31,1999 unless an upgrade is
performed_ To meet the requirements and expected service levels of the PSCC, and
to maintain support for the system, it is necessary to upgrade the Model F45 to a
Model 620.
ANALYSIS
As the AS400 is an IBM product, it can only be acquired through IBM with
assistance through their local business partner, MITI Information Technology Inc.
Staff have had a number of discussions with both parties regarding the most
appropriate options to upgrade the Model F45 recognizing the current and projected
operating and technological requirements of the PSCC.
It is proposed to upgrade the Model F45 to a Model 620 at an estimated cost of
$150,000_ This option provides the capability to expand for future technology
requirements, as well as the ability to utilize and transfer some of the hardware from
the existing F45 to the Model 620.
As noted this upgrade has to be completed by March 31, 1999, in order to receive
continued support from IBM_

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The 1999 Capital Budget includes funding for this project
INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES
This matter has been reviewed with the Materials Management Division as well as
the Public Safety Services Board.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that Common Council authorize the acquisition of an IBM AS400
Model 620 and associated installation services from MITI Information Technology
Inc. at a cost not to exceed $150,000.

SUBJECT: Tender for 2 Intermediate Size Cars
BACKGROUND:
Tenders have been received for the supply of two intermediate size 4 door front
wheel drive cars for the Saint John Fire Department.
These cars arc being purchased to replace two existing vehicles which have out lived
their economical maintenance life. The first is a 1993 Chevrolet Caprice which was
a retired police car and which presently has 194,808 kilometres showing. The second
vehicle is a 1993 Chrysler Dynasty originally purchased for another department but
which was transferred to the Fire service in 1994. This vehicle has an extensive
maintenance history including repeated transmission problems. The odometer is
presently showing 131,211 kilometres.
ANALYSIS:
Three companies responded to the City's tender call by submitting bids. A summary
of the tenders is enclosed for your consideration.
Staff of Materials Management and Fleet Services have reviewed the bids and have
found them to be complete in every regard save one. It is important to note that even
though not the low bidder, Downey Ford Sales Ltd, failed to include the required bid
deposit with their tender. Downeys did include a certified cheque, however the
tender required a deposit of 3% of the total bid price. Downeys cheque represented
a deposit of 1.5% of the total price, in other words their deposit was based on the unit
cost not the total cost.
PAGE
ANALYSIS ... cont'd;
While this appears to be a minor error, it is important to note that given Council's
procurement policy, had Downeys been the lowest bidder, staff would have had no
option but to recommend against acceptance of their bid. Staff will advise the bidder
of this error so as to avoid future confusion.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The replacement of two Fire Department vehicles is a planned expenditure and as
such, funds to cover the cost are included in the 1999 annual operating budget.
The total cost, if awarded to the lowest bidder as recommended and with all taxes
included, will be $46,713.00.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the tender submitted by Lorne ➢Brett Chevrolet Oldsmobile
Cadillac Ltd for the supply of 2 — 1999 Chevrolet Lumina 4 door, front wheel drive
sedans for the Saint John Fire Department, in the amount of $20,310.00 each, plus
tax, be accepted.

YOUR WORSHIP AND COUNCILLORS:
SUBJECT: Request from Saint John Youth Hockey_ Association t_SDaW to extend arena
schedule
BACKGROUND:
At the Common Council meeting of February 22 a request from SJYHA to keep the Gorman
Arena open for an additional 14 days was referred to staff. Council was advised that the Saint
John Sports Plus Juvenile "A" has the opportunity to host a tournament know as the Atlantics, on
April 9, 10 and l Vh.
All City of Saint John arenas, as well as all surrounding community arenas, are scheduled to
close for the regular season on or before March -28. Prior to the beginning of the hockey season
each fall, all users are requested to submit required ice time for the entire season. SJYHA did not
request ice time for this tournament until recently.
In order to make the Gorman arena available it will be necessary to place the refrigeration plant
in "idle" mode for 11 days, then in operating mode for the three days requested. Staff who work
at the arena will be assigned to other maintenance duties at the arenas or in preparing city parks
and sports fields for the coming months and be reassigned to arena operations during the
tournament.. Based on past records the opportunity to sell additional ice time in early April is
very minimal.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
It is estimated that it will cost approximately $800 to keep the plant idle for the 11 days between
the scheduled end of the regular season and the beginning of the Atlantics tournament.
At this time staff has not been provided with the number of rental hours required for the
tournament. Assuming that about 16 hours will be required for the three day tournament, the
Recreation Department will bill the tournament operator $1888 (16 hours X $118, adult rate)
less a minor subsidy of $944, from the youth arena rental subsidy account resulting in net
revenue to the City of $944.
SJYHA rents approximately $80,000 of ice time annually. As a policy the City also matches this
amount of $80,000 from the youth arena rental subsidy account. Council should be aware that
SJYHA currently has an outstanding balance of $26,885 on the 1998 -99 regular season rental.
Staff has every expectation that this balance will be paid in full before summer, however,
Council may wish to direct that the balance be paid in full by the end of the regular season.
In order to accommodate summer operations all arena employees are scheduled to transfer to
summer shifts from the normal winter shifts on March 28. All employees remain on day shifts
until May at which time summer schedules and shifts begin. In order to service the Atlantic
tournament on Friday evening and over the weekend it will be necessary to incur overtime costs.
The overtime costs could be in the order of $500 depending on the final schedule of the
tournament. For this event the tournament operator should pay any necessary overtime costs in
addition to regular arena rental cost. These overtime costs would not apply if the tournament had
been scheduled to occur during the regular season, when shifts were in place.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City of Saint John oblige the request of the Saint John Youth
Hockey Association and make the Gorman arena available on April 9, 10 &11, 1999 in
accordance with normal arena rental policy, plus any associated overtime costs.

SAINT JOHN YOUTH HOCKEY ASSOCIATION
Attention: Common Council
P.O. Box 2641, Saint John, N.B. E21- 4Z1
The Saint John Sports Plus Juvenile "A" team have the opportunity to host the Atlantics for the
Juvenile "A" division. These young gentlemen are aged 18 - 20 years old. This is an opportunity
that comes along once in a lifetime for some of these kids. They have come up through the system
of minor hockey learning the fundamentals of the game, comradship and being a team player.
It involves teams from New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. They have
played a long and hard season for the privilege of participating in this event. Even as we speak no
one knows what teams will have the privilege of representing their province, that will be decided
at the end of March.
But because of regulations of the Minor Hockey Council, no team can host any tournament
during the Easter Weekend thereby the posibility of not having an Atlantics seems to be a reality.
We have been told that there will be no rinks open in Saint John after the end of March. Because
of that we have looked at every other venue that had the possibility of being open to us, from
Quispamsis to the River Valley Community Centre, but to no avail_ We are not looking for a free
ride, we know that in hosting this event comes the financial responsibilty. What we are asking is
that the City Council will look at keeping the Gorman Arena open so that we are able to host the
Atlantics during the weekend of April 9, 10 & 11 /99. With Saint John Youth Minor hockey
paying an average of approximately $80,000.00 a year for ice time, we do not feel that the
extension would be too much to ask, as I would suspect that there is not one organization in the
city of Saint John that does spend that much per year for ice time.
The Saint John Sports Plus Juvenile "A" team and the Executive of Saint John Youth Minor
Hockey thank you in advance for hearing us opt.

RE: Canada Games Aquatic Centre
BACKGROUND:
City of Saint John
In July of 1997 the Aquatic Centre Commission met with Common Council to alert them
to the potential for expensive capital costs associated with the repair of the facility's
chiller and boiler.
Since that time the Commission has carried out the required repairs/replacements and is
now seeking reimbursements of the costs involved.
ANALYSIS:
There are two components to the repairs carried out by the Commission the chiller system
and one of the facility's boilers_ The total costs incurred for the repair of these two items
was $82,989.36 as follows.
Chiller System:
In the spring of 1997 at start -up, a failure was reported in the HVAC unit of the Aquatic
Centre. It was determined that the tubes of the chiller unit were leaking due to scoring of
the tube face. At this time ADI Engineering Consultants were employed to consult on the
problem and outline options for dealing with it_ Due to the high cost of equipment
replacement a number of repair alternatives were attempted however all were
unsuccessful and as such replacement of the tubes was required. Total costs incurred for
this work was $46,989.36.
........2
Page 2
Boiler:
The boiler in question has required a number of small repairs to its fire box over its
lifetime. During the early months of 1998 the boiler deteriorated to the point where
operations of the facility were being compromised as a result of limited heat and hot
water. The repair costs were determined to be more extensive than total replacement of
the unit. The costs associated with the installation of the new boiler were $36,000.
Invoices for all costs associated with these items have been submitted to the Finance
Department.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There was no provision made in the 1998 capital budget for these expenditures_ These
expenditures were incurred prior to the inception of the Regional Facilities Commission
and as such the City is responsible for the costs incurred.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Common Council approve the payment of $82,989.36 to the
Canada Games Aquatic Centre representing the capital costs associated with repair and
replacement of their boiler and chiller systems as noted and that the costs be added to the
1998 capital budget for the facility.

than one year after completion of the proposed new dwelling;
C) there shall be no more than one dwelling remaining on the lot after
February 28, 2004;

naming the City as a beneficiary, in an amount not less than $1 million, to
remain in force and effect until the certification by the Development
Officer that the second dwelling on the lot has been removed;

e) the applicant must submit an additional fee of $500 to the City to cover the
costs of the Building Inspector for the prolonged inspection period;

plans mentioned in condition (f) have been approved by the Chief City
Engineer, and the applicant has provided a letter of credit to the City, in an
amount necessary to permit the City to complete the work in the event of
non - completion of the work shown on the approved plans;
h) notwithstanding conditions (f) and (g), the relocation of Cook's Lake
Road across the subject site is permitted provided that the owners of 71

the approved plans;
h) notwithstanding conditions (f) and (g), the relocation of Cook's
Lake Road across the subject site is permitted provided that the
owners of 71 Cook's Lake Road (NBGIC # 421750) and 97
Cook's Lake Road (NBGIC # 332973) release the City from any
obligation to maintain the road, at which time it will revert to a
private driveway and the standard of construction and all ongoing
maintenance will be the responsibility of the owner.
2. That Common Council authorize the preparation and execution of an
agreement pursuant to Section 101 of the Community Planning Act to
ensure that the conditions imposed by the Planning Advisory Committee
are satisfied.
INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES:
Engineering has no objection to the proposed new house or its extended
construction schedule. However, Engineering does have serious concerns with
the proposed relocation of the private road. The road is currently very narrow and
does not meet City specifications in any respect. The City plows the existing road
and carries out minimum maintenance. The sketch showing the new road does
not have any detail of the road's construction and shows it to be under the
minimum width. The proposed alignment will create a sharp turn at a small
bridge at #97, which will be difficult for the City snowplows to negotiate.
If this road is to be relocated, the City will require a 15 -metre -wide right of way, a
minimum 7.3 -metre -wide travel surface, construction of the road bed with 450
mm. class `B" aggregate and 150 mm class "A" aggregate and 600 mm deep
ditches on both sides and a turnaround for vehicles. A gravel surface will be
David and Susan Chiasson
71 Cook's Lake Road
Page 4
February 19, 1999
acceptable. Engineering plans will be required for the construction. As an
alternative, the owners of 471 and #97 may release the City from any obligation to
maintain this road, at which time it will revert to a private driveway and the
standard of construction and all ongoing maintenance will be entirely up to the
owner.
Building and Technical Services advises that, if the variance is granted,
Building and Technical Services will require (due to length of time to construct) a
$1 million insurance policy with the City named as beneficiary. Also, if within
the Committee's jurisdiction, an additional fee of $500 (non - refundable) should
be required in order to provide for the prolonged inspection period.
Fire Department advises that water for fire fighting is provided by water tanker
in this area. The applicant's plans do not show turnaround facilities that will be
required and capable of providing for fire fighting apparatus.
N.B. Department of Health and Community Services (Public Health Services
Branch) advises that Mr. Chiasson has fled an application for replacement of his
existing on -site system in 1998 and engaged a licensed sewage contractor to act
on his behalf. Mr. Chiasson's present house appears to have been a seasonal
cottage that has been retrofitted for year -round use and is located close to the edge
of Cook's Lake. A new on -site system cannot be located near the lake because of
lack of space, saturated ground conditions and lack of conformity to the required
setbacks_ Therefore, the required on -site system must be sited further back from
the lake on Mr. Chiasson's land and will require an above- ground mound disposal
field and a sewage lift pump for its functioning. It should also be noted that this
Branch's approval lasts only one year, and viewing Mr. Chiasson's schedule for
system replacement, it would have lapsed by the year he proposes to replace his
sewage system. Therefore, he will have to reapply that year for approval
ANALYSIS-
The subject site is an approximately one -acre lot on the shore of Cook's Lake,
near Douglas Lake in the eastern part of the City. This is a semi -rural wooded
area of cottages and one- family dwellings. Cook's Lake Road is a private dead
end road off Douglas Lake Road (which is also a private road) that serves less
than ten dwellings. The road bisects the subject site, and ends at the next lot to
the north.
The location of the site is illustrated on the attached map. It contains a small older
house and cleared yard area situated quite close to the lake. The balance of the
David and Susan Chiasson
71 Cook's Lake Road
Page 5
February 19, 1999
property is wooded. There is a small accessory building located across the road
from the house and yard area.
The applicants propose to construct a new house on the lot. Upon completion of
the new house, the existing house will be demolished. Normally, this would be
permitted, as long as the existing house is demolished within one year from
commencement of construction of the new house. However, the applicants
indicate that they will need up to five years to finish the new house, as they will
be constructing it themselves. The proposed construction schedule is as follows:
Year 1- foundation, totally framed and closed structure, complete roof and
house totally wrapped
Year 2- all windows and exterior siding including exterior doors
Year 3- plumbing, heating, electrical, drywall and insulation and vapour
barrier
Year 4- septic system, well and interior finishing (doors, trim, etc.)
Year 5- removal of existing old house and septic system
In addition to constructing a new house, the applicants are proposing to realign
Cook's Lake Road, as illustrated on the applicants' attached site plan.
Engineering has indicated the minimum standard for the new road if it is to be
maintained by the City. Alternatively, the owners of #71 and #97 may release the
City from any obligation to maintain the road beyond the point where it enters the
applicant's lot.
Due to the length of time that there will be two houses on the lot, the Committee's
approval is necessary in order to permit the applicants' proposal. This is because
the Zoning By -law does not permit two dwellings on a lot in the "RS -1" zone
unless the lot is capable of being subdivided into two separate lots, each
containing a dwelling. The subject site is not capable of being subdivided
because it has a total area of only 4060 square metres and a width of only 45 to 60
metres. The Zoning By -law requires a minimum area and width of 5400 square
metres and 60 metres, respectively, for each dwelling.
The end result of this proposal after five years (or sooner, according to the
applicants) will be one dwelling on the lot, in conformity with the Zoning By -law.
Therefore, the proposal can be supported provided that conditions are imposed to
ensure that it occurs as proposed. Conditions with respect to occupancy and
removal of the dwellings, liability insurance, costs of the prolonged inspection
period and details of the proposed realignment of the road are recommended. It is
essential that these conditions be incorporated into a Section 101 agreement

between the owner and the City. The recommendation includes specific
authorization for preparation and execution of an agreement.

Subdivision Agreement, and Cost Sharing
210 Osborne Avenue
'non::
City of Saint John
On February 23, 1999 the Planning Advisory Committee considered the attached
report and recommendation. The applicant, Mike Cavanagh, appeared before the
Committee and expressed support for the staff recommendation. No other
presentations were made at the meeting, and no letters were received from
surrounding property owners.
After considering the matter, the Committee resolved to adopt the staff
recommendation, which is setout below for your convenience. The Committee
also granted the requested variances, including a variance that relieved the
Developer from providing a Land for Public Purposes dedication. This variance
was on condition that Lot "C" be retained by the City for potential sale to adjacent
landowners (see attachment). Real Estate and Facility Management will need to
prepare a further report regarding this matter.
RECOMMENDATION:

in conjunction with the adjoining property and not as a separate building
lot.
BACKGROUND:
In September 1998 the Planning Advisory Committee considered a similar
application from the same Developer (see attachments). The previous proposal
involved the extension of Osborne Avenue in order to create ten (10) dwelling
units on new serviced residential lots. The previous project consisted of two
semi - detached buildings and two townhouse buildings of three dwelling units
each.
The previous application required similar assents and variances as the revised
proposal. The following recommendation was adopted by the Committee, which
also provided for a right -of -way to an adjoining property and traffic safety
measures around an existing dwelling:
L That Common Council assent to the attached photo- reduced subdivision
plan and to any required municipal services and public utility easements.
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 drainage and site plans for the
approval of the Chief City Engineer.
3. That Common Council authorize cost sharing outside the limits of the
proposed subdivision.

4. That Common Council accept a Land for Public Purposes cash -in -lieu
dedication for the proposed subdivision.
5. That the Planning Advisory Committee only grant the following variances
from the requirements of the Zoning and Subdivision By -laws that would:
(a) reduce the minimum lot width requirement of 18 metres (59 feet)
approximately 9.5 metres (31 feet) for proposed Lot 98 -2;
(b) reduce the minimum turnaround diameter of a cul -de -sac street
from 37.5 metres (124 feet) to approximately 24 metres (80 feet);
(c) eliminate the requirement for a sidewalk along the proposed cul-
de -sac street; and
(d) not require the development to meet the requirements of the
hillside subdivision provisions of the Subdivision By -law.
6. That the above mentioned variances only be approved on the following
conditions:
(a) That the Developer prepare a detailed site plan illustrating the
relocation of the proposed street closer to the northern property
boundary, a pedestrian walkway connection from Somerset Street
to Osborne Avenue, and the location of all proposed property lines,
buildings, and driveways for the approval of the Development
Officer. That all engineering and subdivision plans and building
permits are in accordance with this approved detailed site plan;
(b) That the Developer identify all private easements necessary for the
proposed driveway locations on the subdivision plan(s), and that
these easements be specifically addressed in the deed of each
affected lot, to be approved for registration by the Development
Officer;
(c) That the Developer provide a right -of -way over the existing gravel
lane from the proposed street to the neighbouring properties
presently owned by Charles Dunlop at 20 -22 Millidge Street
(NBGIC #00031229 and #00031534); and
(d) That the Developer install a curb no closer than 2.4 metres (8 feet)
from the nearest point of the dwelling situated at 206 Osborne

ANALYSIS:
Introduction
The purpose of this report is to analyze the revised proposal and provide a
recommendation based on the new street design. There are still outstanding issues
under discussion such as the exact building and driveway locations, lot
configuration, and even the possible number of proposed dwelling units. A
further report regarding the necessary variances and street name will be prepared
when a final tentative subdivision plan is received.
Subject Property and Neighbourhood
The subject property is situated adjacent to Somerset Street at the end of Osborne
Avenue (see attachments). The property has an area of approximately 0.868
hectares (2.15 acres). The site is very steep and rocky with a panoramic view of
the Saint John Harbour. Originally, there were two dwellings with a paved
driveway that occupied this hillside. While these buildings have been removed, a
portion of the former driveway is still present.
There are two developed properties that are adjacent to the subject property — 206
Osborne Avenue and 210 Millidge Street. The property owner of 20 -22 Millidge
Street presently gains vehicular access through an existing gravel roadway
through the subject (City - owned) property. A steep embankment runs along the
northern property boundary with a chain -link fence. A concrete walkway is
situated over the property providing pedestrian access from Somerset Street
towards Osborne Avenue.
Revised Development Proposal and Re uired Variances
The Developer has recently submitted a revised design for consideration. This
new design involves the construction of a 40 -metre (130 -foot) long cul -de -sac
Mike Cavanagh Homes Incorporated
210 Osborne Avenue
Page 7
February 19, 1999
street from Somerset Street (see attachments). This revised plan would avoid the
extensive site work and significant street grades of the previous concept design.
The area is zoned "RM -1" Three Storey Multiple Residential. This zone allows
for the construction two - family (semi - detached) dwellings and attached one -
family (townhouse) buildings. The revised proposal consists of one semi-
detached dwelling and three townhouse buildings.
The semi - detached units can be further subdivided into "part- lots" in order to
provide for separate ownership. Independent service connections (i.e., sewer, and
water) and a properly constructed common wall between the units are required in
the creation of "part- lots."
The townhouse lots do not appear to satisfy all the Zoning By -law requirements.
The distance between the building blocks appear below the By -law standards, and
there is concern regarding the alignment of these buildings (i.e., the placement of
Unit #7 in front of Unit #8). In addition, there are significant concern regarding
the proposed driveway locations of Unit #1 and 42.
Consideration of the necessary variances will be examined in a subsequent report
when the final tentative subdivision plan is submitted.
Subdivision and Servicing
The project consists of the creation of a new cul -de -sac from Somerset Street in
order to provide public street access to the proposed lots. Engineering and N.B.
Department of Transportation have carefully reviewed the proposed connection to
Somerset Street.
Staff is also suggesting that a portion of the subject property adjacent to the
existing Osborne Avenue right -of -way be vested for street purposes. This will
ensure proper street frontage for the property (Lot Q. Please refer to the Land for
Public Purposes section of this report for further information.
The development would be fully serviced with municipal services (i.e., sanitary
sewer, water and storm) and underground public utilities. Easements will be
necessary in order to protect these underground utility conduits.
Engineering has indicated that municipal sewer and water are available from
Osborne Avenue. Saint John Energy and NBTel have indicated that public
Mike Cavanagh Homes Incorporated
210 Osborne Avenue
Page 8
February 19, 1999
utilities are also available from Osborne Avenue and would be extended
underground to the proposed lots.
The recommendation includes authorization for a City/Developer Subdivision
Agreement to ensure provision of the required work and facilities. The
recommendation also includes the assent of any necessary municipal services and
public utility easements, as well as subdivision cost sharing for the extension of
sewer and water trunks outside the limits of the subdivision (both Osborne
Avenue and Somerset Street).
Proposed Cul -de -sac Turnaround
A variance is required for the proposed turnaround diameter, which is required to
be at least 37.5 metres (124 feet). The Committee granted a variance for the
previous application that would have allowed the cul -de -sac to be constructed
with only a 24 -metre (80 -foot) diameter. The Committee also granted a variance
to reduce the turnaround diameter for Cavanagh Court to only 24 metres (80 feet).
Engineering can support the approval of a variance to allow the diameter of the
cul -de -sac's paved turnabout to be reduced to 24 metres (80 feet), provided that
the actual paved surface is constructed to this minimal diameter. The proposal is
consistent with this standard and a right -of -way diameter of 28 metres (92 feet).
Approval is recommended.
Hillside Subdivisions
The Subdivision By -law requires that the area and width of lots involved in
hillside subdivisions be increased to 1.5 times that of the normal By -law
standards. Hillside land is to be determined by the measurement of the average
slope perpendicular to the street line between the proposed rear lot lines and the
centre of the street. Although the subject property contains steep grades, the
individual lots do not appear to have excessive slope. Therefore, it is appropriate
to apply the normal lot standards to this development.
Land for Public Purposes
The Subdivision By -law requires a Land for Public Purposes dedication for the
proposed subdivision. In particular, the By -law requires that eight (8) percent of
Mike Cavanagh Homes Incorporated Page 9
210 Osborne Avenue February 19, 1999
the subject property be vested. Alternatively, the Developer could suggest a cash -
in -lieu dedication.
As mentioned, there is an existing driveway on the City -owned parcel of land
used by an adjacent property owner (Charles Dunlop). The adjoining residence is
also encroaching over the subject property. The Developer is agreeable to
allowing the City to convey a significant portion of the property (Lot C) to the
adjacent property owner(s). In order to provide proper street frontage, staff is also
proposing to vest a 70- square metre (753- square foot) area for street purposes (see
attachments).
While this will reduce the area previously approved by Common Council to be
conveyed to the applicant, it does not adversely affect the building site of the
proposed residential project. A report from Real Estate and Facility Management
to Common Council will be necessary in order to amend the existing resolution to
sell the Developer the entire property.
The recommendation includes a condition that would relieve the Developer from
providing a Land for Public Purposes dedication provided the City retains the
above - mentioned parcels. This arrangement also reflects the desire of the City to
have this City -owned parcel developed, while appreciating the substantial
development costs associated with the project.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed subdivision development and necessary variances are considered
reasonable given the characteristics of the property. The recommendation
includes the necessary assent and authorization to carryout the construction of a
new public street with a reduced turnaround facility than permitted by the
Subdivision By -law.
Approval of the proposed subdivision with the mentioned variances can be
supported as recommended. A further report will be necessary in order to
consider the approval of a street name and any further variances once the final
tentative plan is submitted.

The Manufactured Housing Association of New Brunswick represents Manufacturers, Retailers
and Land Lease Community owners of the manufactured housing industry.
Our mandate is to enhance the image of manufactured housing and to promote it as a quality, cost
effective housing choice for Atlantic Canadians. Manufactured Housing reflected 24% of total
housing starts during 1998 in the Province of New Brunswick_ This is well above the national
average of 7 %. Manufactured Housing starts were up by 6 1/6, while total housing starts in the
province were down 14% in 1998
New Brunswickers enjoy one of the highest home ownership rate in Canada at 74 %. While it is
not the only factor to be considered, a correlation can be made that where Manufactured Housing
market share is high, so is the home ownership rate.
Enclosed is a copy of a video "Creating Communities" produced by the Canadian Manufactured
Housing Institute (CMHI) in conjuction with the Provincial Associations across Canada. We
request that this production be viewed at an open session of council in the near future. If desired,
one of our representatives will attend for a Q & A session.
We recently initiated a consultative process with the Provincial government and Land Lease
Community Owners (formerly Mobile Home Parks). We are reviewing proposed amendments to
the current regulation governing our Industry_ Our objective is to update this regulation to reflect
todays industry practices and to provide a framework for the development of sound self - sufficient
Manufactured Housing communities for the future.
We wish to thank you for your consideration of our request and look forward to hearing from you
in the near future.

SUBJECT: Proposed Section 39 Amendment City of Saint John
1385 Hickey Road (formerly part of 1120 Loch Lomond Road)
On March 1, 1999 Common Council referred the above matter to the Planning
Advisory Committee for a report and recommendation. The Committee
considered the attached report at its April 7, 1999 meeting. In addition to the
proposed Section 39 amendment referred by Council, the report also deals with
the consideration of terms and conditions by the Committee, as a take -out
restaurant is a conditional use in the `B -2" General Business zone.
Bill Madore, the operator of the Autopro Centre, attended the meeting and
expressed agreement with the staff recommendation. No other persons attended
the meeting and no letters were received.
After considering the matter, the Committee adopted the recommendation
contained in the attached report. This included the decision to impose no terms
and conditions upon the take -out restaurant, pursuant to the Committee's
authority under Section 43(3)(c) of the Community Planning Act (Part 2 of the
staff recommendation).
RECOMMENDATION:
That Common Council amend the Section 39 conditions imposed on the
December 22, 1986 rezoning of the subject property situated at 1385 Hickey
Road, also identified as NBGIC #55146138 (formerly part of the property at 1120
Loch Lomond Road, NBGIC #55098420), to permit a take -out restaurant.
Respectfully submitted,
Brian C /ngham.

Section 39 Amendment and Conditional Use
JURISDICTION OF COMMITTEE:
Common Council has requested the Planning Advisory Committee's views with
respect to the proposed Section 39 amendment. Common Council will consider
the Committee's recommendation at a public hearing on Monday, April 12,
1999.

1385 Hickey Road April 1, 1999
The Zoning By -law authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to impose terms
and conditions upon the establishment and operation of a take -out restaurant in
the B -2" General Business zone.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO COMMITTEE:
1. That Common Council amend the Section 39 conditions imposed on the
December 22, 1986 rezoning of the subject property situated at 1385
Hickey Road, also identified as NBGIC #55146138 (formerly part of the
property at 1120 Loch Lomond Road, NBGIC #55098420), to permit a
take -out restaurant.
2. That the Planning Advisory Committee impose no additional terms and
conditions upon the establishment and operation of a take -out restaurant.
BACKGROUND:
The original Section 39 conditions limited the use of the parent property to a
hardware store. In October 1993, an amendment was approved to permit the
development of the Tim Horton's restaurant. Most recently, in November 1998, a
further amendment was approved to permit the development of a multi -bay
automotive service centre and gasoline bar, subject to the following additional
conditions:
• Concrete curbing and sidewalk must be installed along the full frontage of the
development site;
• Any existing landscaping within the street right-of-way must be maintained,
except the area for a new commercial access;
• The site and new driveway entrance must be paved with asphalt and enclosed
by continuous poured -in -place concrete curbing;
• Drainage facilities must be installed to the satisfaction of the Chief City
Engineer;
• The site must be developed in accordance with a detailed site plan, prepared
by the proponent, and approved by the Development Officer, illustrating the
above - mentioned requirements;
• The Development Officer, except for site preparation and foundation, shall
endorse no building permit until the required site plan is approved and
attached to the building permit; and
John Cudmore Enterprises Inc. Page 3
1385 Hickey Road April 1, 1999
• All work shown on the approved site plan, except for landscaping, must be
completed prior to the operation of the business, and landscaping must be
completed within one year of building permit approval.
The Development Officer approved the site plan for this development on
December 2, 1998, and construction began shortly thereafter.
INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES:
Engineering has no objection.
Building and Technical Services has no objection. A building permit is required
for the additional use. Attention to fire separation of occupancies will be given at
that time. In addition, if there is cooking which may produce airborne grease -
laden vapours, an exhaust hood conforming to NFPA standards will be required.
Fire Department has submitted no comments.
N.B. Department of Health and Community Services (Public Health Services
Branch) has submitted no comments
ANALYSIS:
An "Autopro" automotive repair garage and gas bar /convenience store is currently
under construction at the subject site. The applicant indicates that it was always
the intention to include a pizza take -out within the building. However, the plans
and description submitted with the 1998 Section 39 amendment application did
not mention this component of the proposal. Only the multi -bay garage, gas bar
and convenience retail area were indicated at that time. As a result, a take -out
restaurant was not considered and was not included in the subsequent Section 39
amendment.
The proposed pizza take -out, if approved, will be located in a section of the
convenience store /service desk area of the building. It is not proposed to be a
separate business but, rather, will be integrated into the convenience store
operation. The attached proposed floor plan illustrates the proposal.
The District Centre designation of the subject site encourages the establishment of
a wide range of retail and service uses, including restaurants and take -out
restaurants. Site development requirements, such as paving, curbing and
John Cudmore Enterprises Inc. Page 4
1385 Hickey Road April 1, 1999
landscaping, are already incorporated into the Section 39 conditions. The
development will include 19 off - street parking spaces, which more than satisfy the
minimum requirements of the Zoning By-law for the combination of uses. This is
an appropriate location for the proposed use and, therefore, the amendment can be
supported. No additional conditions are recommended.
