To: Mayor Mel Norton and Members of Saint John Common Council
Jonathan Taylor, Common Clerk
From: Organizing Committee, Saint John Inside Ride
John Cairns, Chair; Lynn Smith, Communications
On October 5, 2013 Saint John will play host to the National Inside Ride Tour for the first time. This team
challenge, stationary bike event, held in towns and cities across Canada, raises money to directly support local
families who are struggling with the huge financial impact of childhood cancer. This impact is especially felt by
New Brunswick families as our province does not have a dedicated children's hospital, thereby necessitating
extensive travel for treatment.
What distinguishes the event from many others is that it is focused on family not research and 100 percent of
money raised stays here. No portion of monies raised on October 5th at Lions Auditorium on Loch Lomond Road
goes to administration. All funds will be distributed through the NB Lions Sick Children's Fund to families whose
financial needs exceed their means due to childhood cancer.
A local family facing this challenge has been selected to act as the first ambassador of the Saint John Inside Ride.
Scott and Jennifer Larson of West Saint John know firsthand the tremendous financial impact for families battling
childhood cancer. Their son Isaac's rare form of leukemia has necessitated more than 24 trips to Toronto in the
past year. Isaac Larson is a student at Island View School.
In Canada each year more children between age one and adolescence die of cancer than any other disease. One in
400 children will develop cancer and 1 in 5 will not survive the diagnosis. With a mortality rate of almost 20 %,
each year Canada is losing tens of thousands of years of potential life. Increased awareness of childhood cancer,
and support for programs such as the Inside Ride, will assist children and their families in their battle against this
deadly disease.
September 21" has been designated the National Day of Awareness and Action for Childhood Cancer. On this
date, the CN tower will shine gold in honor of Canada's childhood cancer angels and warriors. Communities across
Canada are encouraged to develop their own ways of recognizing the day to reflect the gold ribbon that is the
symbol of childhood cancer The Saint John Inside Ride Committee believes Greater Saint John residents will use
their abundant creativity to make our city glow as well. It is hoped that this "gold fever' will inspire people to
support the volunteer teams of the Inside Ride being held October 5tn
The Saint John Inside Ride committee is requesting that at the regular meeting of Saint John Common Council
on September 16, a member of the Larson family be permitted to make a five - minute informational
presentation on the importance of Childhood Cancer Awareness and the Inside Ride. In addition we would
make the request that Mayor Norton proclaim September 21St National Childhood Cancer Awareness and
Action Day in Saint John and encourage residents to turn our city gold in as many creative ways as possible.
( *See attached Proclamation)
We greatly appreciate your time given to consideration of our request
Regards,
John Cairns, Inside Ride Committee Chair
Lynn Smith, Inside Ride Committee, Communications Lead

PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS: One in every 400 Canadian children will be diagnosed with cancer
before reaching the age of 19. The diagnosis of childhood cancer is
most often a challenge faced by young parents with other small
children and the impact is deeply felt financially, socially and
emotionally by the entire family.
AND
WHEREAS: New Brunswick does not have a dedicated children's hospital, the
impact of childhood cancer on a family necessarily begins with
multiple trips outside the province for treatment, most often for years.
This is usually accompanied by a reduction in family income as one
parent takes time from work to care for the cancer child. The income
loss is magnified by the high costs of travel and at -home care of
younger siblings. It is not uncommon for parents to lose all assets as
a direct result of out -of- pocket costs associated with providing the
best possible care for their child.
AND
WHEREAS: The Saint John Inside Ride, in cooperation with the Lions Sick
Children's Fund, is being held in our City for the first time on
October 5th to provide financial support directly to local families
impacted by Childhood Cancer which is recognized by the symbol of
a gold ribbon
NOW THEREFORE:
I, Mayor Mel Norton of Saint John do hereby proclaim September 21st, 2013 to be
National Day of Awareness and Action for Childhood Cancer in Saint John and encourage
all residents of our city to join communities across Canada in marking the day by "turning their
city gold" in creative ways, and by aiding local families through support of teams who are
participating in the Saint John Inside Ride.
In witness whereof I have set my hand and affixed the official seal of the Mayor of the
City of Saint John.
PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS: UNBSJ is having their 45th Annual Shinerama
campaign in Saint John to raise funds for cystic
fibrosis research and treatment.
WHEREAS: Shinerama is the single largest charity event among
Canadian University students. Over 21 million dollars
have been raised through the continuous effort of 65
campuses and approximately 40 000 students yearly.
WHEREAS: Students from all walks of life will join the fight by
scouring the streets of Saint John on September 5th in
pursuit of some funds.
WHEREAS: Your support towards these students can go very far to
finding a cure to a terrible disease which affects many
young Canadians.
NOW THEREFORE: I, Mayor Mel Norton, of Saint
John do hereby proclaim the week of September 2 -6, 2013 as
Shinerama Saint John Week in the City of Saint John.
In witness whereof I have set my hand and affixed the official seal of
the Mayor of the City of Saint John.
Multi -City Transportation
Working Group
A COLLABORATION OF NEW BRUNSWICK CITIES WITH COMMON
TRANSPORTATION GOALS
Why Focus on Public Transportation?
Transportation — specifically public transit — presents a rare community planning
opportunity to achieve multiple benefits through a single investment.
Economic:
Cities with strong public transit service are more attractive to workers in the Knowledge
Economy;
Public transit reduces road congestion and the many infrastructure and maintenance costs
associated with personal vehicle use;
Public transit enables employment and workforce attachment of low- income residents;
Most New Canadians prefer public transit to personal vehicles.
Why Focus on Public Transportation?
Environmental:
Reduces the production of Green House Gases, improving local air quality;
Reduces vehicle pollutant releases to ground water such as coolant, engine oil, etc.
Requires less road infrastructure, increasing a community's green and leisure space
opportunities.
Social:
As an affordable transportation option, public transit enables community participation of the
elderly and low- income residents;
Users of public transit services have a stronger sense of community and social network.
A Saint John Priority
Council Priorities, 2012 -2016
Economic: "Invest wisely to continue to build our community and deliver
services while maintaining a healthy financial position."
Community of Choice: "Build a more robust transit system that is aligned with
the principles of PlanSJ"
Sustainable Infrastructure: "Implement policies that maintain and protect the
quality and integrity of all our infrastructure assets in an environmentally
sustainable way and reinforces the principles of PlanSJ."
History of the Initiative
2011: Saint John Urban Transportation Initiative, Phase 1
Led by Vibrant Communities Saint John, a community- engagement and research project that
asked, "Is our public transportation system affordable and accessible ?"
Supported and guided by City of Saint John, Saint John Transit, business community, non-
profit sector, UNBSJ and low- income residents
Resulted in positive changes to transit operating policy (ex. Family travel policy) and
supported Common Council move to increase 2012 operating budget to Saint John Transit
2012: Saint John Urban Transportation Initiative, Phase 2
Execute 5 key recommendations resulting from Phase 1 report, "Getting Around When You're
Just Getting By - Poverty, Policy & Public Transit"
#4: Work with the City of Saint John, Saint John Transit and other key stakeholders to realize
improvements in the financial contributions of the Province of New Brunswick to the
operation of public transit
Introduction to the Working Group

sustainable, affordable and effective public transportation.
Conducted a Planning Session in April 2013, resulting in shared Vision, Mission and Guiding
Principles, and a group Action Plan.
Born by a common desire among urban centres to:
Grow strong public transit systems
Increase community sustainability
Share concerns and promising practices
Contribute to poverty reduction

Transit operators
Other Working Group members include:
University of New Brunswick, Engineering
Department

Non - profit / community service sector
Low - income New Brunswickers
Other partners in this initiative include

Objective of the Collaboration
To collaborate with each other and the Government of New Brunswick to find
ways to strengthen our public transit system, specifically through participation in
the development of the NB Transportation Strategy.
Develop a working partnership between NB Cities and GNB
o Present a unified voice representing urban transportation needs
Work proactively and cooperatively with other NB cities on areas of common interest
and concern
Working Group Deliverables
White Paper on strong and effective public transportation policy and
funding models, to inform the NB Transportation Strategy:
Identification of enabling legislation relevant to public transportation;
Identification of potential incentive programs to encourage transit adoption among
New Brunswick residents;
Identification of potential shared - purchasing opportunities among transit operators
(ex. Parts, counting equipment, professional development, etc.);
Best practices in Transportation Impact Assessment, Transportation Infrastructure
Investment Strategies and inventing behavioural change in residents.
Deliverables Continued
Common brand strategy, that is complimentary to existing individual
operator brands and encourages the adoption of public transit;
Build community capacity in transportation across the province
(through the development of subject-matter-expert groups; opening
lines of communication between the participating urban centres,
their transit operators; etc.).
Request for Support
The Working Group is requesting the following support from the City
of Saint John (with similar requests being presented to the Cities of
Moncton and Fredericton), to execute our Action Plan and achieve
our goals:
Approve Councillor Reardon as Working Group Co- Chair,
representing the City of Saint John
Contribute $10,000 toward the Working Groups combined funding
model (see Request for Funding background doc for budget detail)
A High-Value, Low -Cost Investment
Public transportation reduces costs and is an economic engine:
"Public transit reduces the unit cost of user trips, decreases the travel time of nonusers,
increases the pool of workers and consumers for companies, and mitigates the harmful
effects of pollution. These benefits tend to increase quickly with the size of an area. The
more populated the area, the greater the benefits." Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal
Effective public transportation enables community participation:
"Affordable public transit fulfils the essential role of ensuring that any resident, regardless of
their socioeconomic status, can participate fully in a community. Community participation
achieves a number of important personal and community outcomes such as workforce
participation and personal wealth, education levels, mental and physical health, etc." CUTA
o Multi -City Transportation
rmm� Working Group
Backgrounder
What is the Multi -City Transportation Working Group?
Public transit is more than just another municipal service. It plays a critical role in the health and
sustainability of a community in every way: socially, environmentally and economically. Its impact on
the local environment is obvious - as more residents of a community select public transit as their
primary form of transportation, vehicle emissions drop through a reduction in personal vehicle use, and
wear - and -tear on municipal infrastructure is reduced, etc. In the economic context, an effective
public transit system ensures that employees are able to get to and from work efficiently (including
those who use personal vehicles, as fewer cars on the road reduces congestion and therefore travel
time), and that an employer's reach to potential employees extends throughout the community rather
than just their own neighbourhood. In a social context, affordable public transit fulfils the essential
role of ensuring that any resident, regardless of their socio- economic status, can participate fully in a
community. The impact, and therefore importance of public transit is complex and in the community
context, all - encompassing.
There is an opportunity to improve the sustainability and economic viability of our cities - as well as
the ability of low - income residents to access employment, health and other critical services - by
investing in public transportation. The prospect of strengthening our communities extends beyond the
municipal level, as the provision of public transit is also directly impacted by Provincial and Federal
governments'. Therefore a collaborative approach to this issue is necessary for long -term success.
In February 2013 the urban centres of New Brunswick (with existing public transit operations) came
together to discuss the current state of their transit systems, their challenges and hopes for the future.
It was immediately apparent that the opportunities and challenges related to the provision of public
transportation are common among the participating cities. Also apparent was the opportunity for
collaboration between those in attendance; the Multi -City Transportation Working Group was formed.
The February meeting was followed by a day -long planning session in April 2013, resulting in an
ambitious Action Plan with the over - arching goal of partnering with each other and the Government of
New Brunswick to enhance the province's public transportation systems.

3. Rezoning a parcel of land with an area of approximately 3137 square metres, located at 304
Westmorland Road, also identified as being a portion of PID Nos. 00415422, 55026744, 55026736,
55026728, 55026710, 55026702 and 55119648, from "RS -2" One and Two Family Suburban
Residential to "SZ -28" Special Zone #28.
BACKGROUND:
On December 4, 2006 the property now known as 286 Westmorland Road (PID 55194203) was rezoned
to "US" Utility and Service to facilitate the establishment of an electrical substation. At the time of
rezoning, it was anticipated that the access to the substation from Westmorland Road would be located
between civic numbers 300 and 306 Westmorland Road. As the access is considered to be part of the
Saint John Energy
304 Westmorland Road
Page 3
August 16, 2013
use, it was included in the area that was rezoned to "US" Utility and Service, as illustrated on the
attached map of the neighbourhood.
The applicant subsequently found that it was unable to use the original proposed access road because the
topography presented challenges for navigation of its trucks. Consequently, the applicant developed an
access off the undeveloped Sunnyside Avenue street right -of -way. However, the applicant did not obtain
the necessary zoning approvals from the City to permit this alternative access route to its substation site.
This oversight was brought to the applicant's attention and has resulted in the current application.
INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES:
Bell Aliant has no concerns with this application.
Canada Post has no concerns with this application.
Infrastructure Development Service has the following comments on the proposed rezoning:
An engineered site storm drainage plan must be submitted to this Department for
review /approval to ensure there will be no adverse drainage effects to adjacent properties from
development on the site.
The City does not currently provide, nor does it plan to provide in the foreseeable future, any
maintenance to the undeveloped Sunnyside Avenue right -of -way. Any travel occurring over this
street would be at the Power Commission's cost, risk and expense.
Inspection & Permitting Services has no concerns with this application.
Rogers has been advised of this application.
Saint John Energy has no concerns with this application.
Saint John Fire Department has no concerns with this application.
ANALYSIS:
Site and Neighbourhood
The subject site is an access road that runs through four separate properties located off the undeveloped
Sunnyside Avenue public street right -of -way in the Park and Natural Area designation on the City's
Future Land Use map. The majority of the land surrounding the substation consists of land owned by the
Fernhill Cemetery Company.
The access road subject to this application is zoned "RS -2" One and Two Family Suburban Residential,
as is the balance of the Fernhill Cemetery property on this side of the undeveloped Sunnyside Avenue
right -of -way. There is an Aliant cell tower and a Rogers Communication cell tower in the immediate
area that abut the proposed access road and the Sunnyside Avenue right -of -way, respectfully.
Saint John Energy- Page 4
304 Westmorland Road August 16, 2013
Proposal
The applicant, Saint John Energy, is proposing to rezone the land shown as shaded on the attached site
plan from "RS -2" One and Two Family Suburban Residential to "SZ -28" Special Zone 28. As
mentioned in the Background section above, the property currently serves as the access road to the Saint
John Energy substation, which is zoned "US" Utility and Service. The City's Zoning Bylaw requires an
access road to have a zoning designation that permits the same land use as the property it services,
which in this case is the use of an electrical substation. Rather than proposing rezoning of the access
road to "US ", the applicant has requested that a special zone ( "SZ -28 ") be created that would also
preserve the permitted uses found in the existing "RS -2" One and Two Family Suburban Residential
zone. The purpose of retaining the uses found in the existing "RS -2" zone is to allow the properties to
develop residential land uses in the future, should the opportunity arise.
The proposed rezoning has no apparent negative impacts and can therefore be supported by staff. The
applicant will be required to submit detailed plans, including an engineered site storm drainage plan, as
part of the documentation for the required change -of -use permit.
CONCLUSION:
Rezoning the proposed access road from "RS -2" to "SZ -28" to allow- access from the undeveloped
Sunnyside Avenue right -of -way, while preserving the opportunity to include future residential
development on the subject properties, has no foreseeable negative impacts. Approval of the proposal is
recommended.

SUBJECT: Proposed Rezoning - 2240 Red Head Road
On June 24, 2013 Common Council referred the above matter to the Planning
Advisory Committee for a report and recommendation. The Committee
considered the attached report at its August 20, 2013 meeting.
r-11`n
City of Saint John
Mr. Richard Turner of Hughes Surveys and Consultants, representing the
applicant, appeared before the Committee and was in agreement with the staff
recommendation. He responded to questions from the Committee with regards to
traffic, the location and impact of the sign and the condition imposed on the
approval of the Canaport LNG project which required an alternative site access
for emergency purposes. He responded that approximately 30 cars utilize the
access road on a daily basis and that during periods of tank maintenance and
construction additional truck traffic will come through the 2240 Red Head Road
Access. He advocated that the location of the sign and road was ideal as it is the
only location which does not front directly on an adjacent residential property and
that the applicant has reached out to adjacent property owners and offered to plant
trees to help mitigate the impact of the sign. He also stated that the condition
requiring the access road was for a secondary access that could be used for
emergency access and was not limited to only emergency access purposes.
Theresa Debly, a member of the Canaport Community Environmental Liaison
Committee, appeared before the Committee to speak against the rezoning
application. She presented minutes from Liaison Committee meetings, in which
the subject access road was referred to as an emergency access road. She argued
that the road should not be used as a primary access road as it had been
communicated to community members that it was an emergency access road only.
Cheryl Armstrong of 2257 Red Head Road appeared before the Committee to
speak against the rezoning application. She expressed concerns about the impact
of the sign and access road on the view from her property and indicated that the
sign should be located further back from the road. She also expressed opposition
to the rezoning of PID 00337022, stating that it was unnecessary as the subject
access road and freestanding sign are located on PID Nos. 55050892 and a portion
of PID 55183800.
-2-
The Planning Advisory Committee discussed the application at length and
expressed concerns regarding any current and future impacts of the access road
and sign, additional uses that would be permitted if the rezoning were to be
approved, whether a second primary access road was permitted under the
conditions of the environmental impact assessment and gaps that should be
addressed in the Zoning By -Law with regards to quantitative standards for the
illumination of signs and the differentiation between emergency and primary
access roads.
Staff responded to questions from the Committee related to the impact of the sign,
uses that would be permitted by the proposed rezoning, the condition imposed on
the Canaport LNG project requiring the subject access road and Zoning By -Law
standards for the illumination of signage and the differentiation between
emergency and primary access roads.
No one else appeared before the Committee to speak in favour or against the
application, and no letters were received.
After considering the report, letters and presentations, the Committee adopted
four separate motions:
The Committee adopted a motion recommending that Common Council approve
the rezoning application subject to the condition that the use of the property be
limited to an access road, a freestanding sign and a gatehouse.
The Committee adopted a motion that Common Council request that the City
Manager direct staff to review quantitative standards for the illumination of signs
as part of the Zoning By-Law review process.
The Committee adopted a motion that Common Council request that the City
Manager direct staff to review zoning standards for emergency and primary
access roads as part of the Zoning By -Law review process.
The Committee adopted a motion that the chair of the Planning Advisory
Committee is to submit a letter to the Department of Environment and Local
Government notifying them of the recommended rezoning and section 39
resolution; and that the Committee had accepted the interpretation that condition
15 of the approval of the Irving Oil Limited Liquefied Natural Gas Marine
Terminal and Multi- Purpose Pier Project, did not limit the alternative site access
to being for only emergency access purposes.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) That Common Council rezone a parcel of land having an area of
approximately 1.5 hectares, located at 2240 Red Head Road, also identified
as being PID Nos. 00337022, 55050892 and a portion of PID No.
55183800, from "UM" Rural Mobile Home to "I -2" Heavy Industrial.
-3-
2) That, pursuant to the provisions of Section 39 of the Community Planning
Act, the development and use of the aforementioned parcel of land, shall
be subject to the following condition:
a) The use of the property is limited to an access road, a freestanding
sign and a gatehouse.
3) That Common Council request that the City Manager direct staff to review
quantitative standards for the illumination of signs as part of the Zoning
By -Law review process.
4) That Common Council request that the City Manager direct staff to review
zoning standards for emergency and primary access roads as part of the
Zoning By -Law review process.

SUBJECT: Rezoning Application - 2240 Red Head Road
At its June 18, 2013 meeting, the Planning Advisory Committee considered the attached report
regarding an application to rezone a property at 2240 Red Head Road from "RFM" Rural Mobile Home
to "1 -2" Heavy Industrial. The rezoning application is to permit a free standing sign and to allow an
existing access road to Canaport at 2240 Red Head Road to remain in its present location. At the
meeting, the Committee were informed that the proposed freestanding sign had been erected prior to
obtaining the required approvals and that the location of the sign was not consistent with the location
indicated in the proposal.
After considering the report and comments made by the applicant and neighbourhood residents, the
Committee adopted a motion to table the application to allow staff to gather more information on the
sign with regards to design, location, potential impact on neighbouring properties; and to gather
information on the access road with regards to construction, design and overall impact. On July 29,
2013, Common Council held the scheduled public hearing and voted to table the application pending a
report and recommendation from the Planning Advisory Committee.
The requested information was collected from the applicant, through geographic and land use analysis,
site visits and discussions with neighbouring residents. The information and analysis is as follows:

Details of the Sign:
Page 2
August 16, 2013
Location:
It was initially indicated by staff that the as-built location of the sign was not consistent with the
initial plan proposed by the applicant and that it would need to be determined if a variance would
be required. The location of the sign was confirmed by Hughes Surveys and Consultants Inc. as
being 3.27 metres from the front yard property boundary. This meets the Zoning By -Law
requirement for a 3 metre front yard setback for freestanding signs in the "1 -2" Heavy Industrial
Zone and does not require any additional variances.
ii. Design:
The sign is approximately 7 metres in height with a total sign area of 16 square metres. It will
display the name of the property owner, the site and the civic address. The sign will be
illuminated but does not include any digital displays. The property owner, Irving Oil Limited,
has erected similar signs at other industrial facilities, office buildings and gasoline stations
throughout the City. Details of the sign are attached to this report.
iii. Illumination:
The applicant intends on illuminating the sign to ensure the Canaport Crude Terminal entrance is
visible during the evening. The sign is powered by a photocell and is intended to be illuminated
at all times to provide a clear civic address for the site. The illumination will be consistent with
similar Irving signs that have been erected throughout the city, including at the 2530 Red Head
Road entrance to Canaport LNG. Details of the lamps used in the illumination of the sign and
their design mean lumen output have been provided by the applicant and are as follows:
• The Irving portion at the top — (7) F48T12, 3500 Lumens each
• The rest of the sign (1)F48TI2 - 3500 Lumens, (3)F84T12 6000 Lumens, (6)F96T12
— 6800 Lumens and (2)F72T12 — 5500 Lumens
iv. Landscaping:
The applicant has proposed to landscape the sign to a similar standard as the entrance to
Canaport LNG located at 2530 Red Head Road. The sign located at this entrance is landscaped
with small shrubbery and flowers around the base of the sign. A photo of the 2530 Red Head
Road entrance is attached to this report to provide a visual example of the standard of
landscaping proposed for the sign at 2240 Red Head Road. Work to prepare the site for the
proposed landscaping treatments has been started.
V. Visual Impact:
The sign is located in accordance with the required front yard setback along Red Head Road,
directly across from two undeveloped lots. The closest residential properties are 80 and 60
metres from the nearest edge of the property boundary to the location of the sign. Within 150
metres there are five residential properties within view of the sign. While neighbourhood views
are not directly across from the sign, each property has a peripheral view of the sign and the
access road. A map showing the properties within 150 metres of the sign and access road, as well
as images depicting the visual impact on neighbouring properties have been attached to this
report.

vi. Safe t :
The applicant has indicated that the sign is necessary to ensure the safety of the facility and its
employees. Several incidents have occurred within the past year in which emergency response
vehicles had difficulty in locating the entrance to the Canaport Crude Terminal. The meeting
minutes of the Canaport Community Environmental Liaison Committee (CCELC) for September
and December of 2012 outline two separate incidents in which emergency response vehicles
were unable to locate the 2240 Red Head Road access efficiently. The applicant has indicated
that there was an additional incident in which an ambulance responding to a possible cardiac
event arrived at the wrong entrance.
Details of the Access Road:
Requirement for the Access Road:
The access road was constructed in 2007, during the construction of the Canaport LNG
Terminal, as a condition of the approval of the project under the Clean Environment Act. The
condition of approval required that Irving Oil Limited ensure that an alternative site access road
on the Canaport property was available for emergency access prior to the operation of the
facility. The utilization of this access as a primary access for the Canaport Crude Terminal
should not generate any requirement for an additional emergency access road.
ii. Design, Construction & Location:
The access road is a 7 metre wide private road with 3.5 metre lanes of traffic traveling in each
direction. The emergency access was initially a dirt road, but was upgraded and paved in 2007 to
be used as a Primary Access for the Canaport Crude Terminal. Design work for the access road
was completed by Crandall Engineering and is compliant with the Zoning By -Law standards for
commercial access roads.
The road intersects Red Head Road directly across from two undeveloped lots, at the mid -point
of a gap between existing residential properties. This point of intersection reduces the line of
sight evenly between the access road and five residential properties within 150 metres of the site.
While the site was not properly zoned to construct an access road to an industrial facility, it is a
more desirable location than the adjacent Canaport property zoned "I -2" Heavy Industrial as it
mitigates the visual impact of the access road for all nearby property owners. If the access road
were initially constructed on the adjacent Canaport property, approximately 85 metres southwest
of its existing location, it would intersect directly across from two residential properties on Red
Head Road.
iii. Traffic:
The 2240 Red Head Road access is primarily for construction related site access. The majority of
Canaport technicians use the 2530 Red Head Road access while other employees, contractors
and construction vehicles and equipment will use the 2240 Red Head Road access. The applicant
estimates that 20 — 30 vehicles enter and exit through the 2240 Red Head Road access on a daily
basis and parking is accommodated for up to 40 vehicles. The applicant has also indicated that
during periods in which construction or tank maintenance is occurring, some larger trucks will
enter the Canaport Crude Terminal from this access.

Additional Considerations:
Page 4
August 16, 20I3
i. Land Use Implications of the Rezoning:
The current proposal is to rezone the subject property to permit a freestanding sign and to permit
an existing access road to remain in its present location; however, approving the rezoning
application could also permit future industrial development on the subject site. The "I -2" Heavy
Industrial zone permits a wide variety of industrial, commercial and other uses, but uses such as
a bulk oil depot or warehouse, liquid natural gas processing or storage and petroleum refining
would require further PAC consideration as a conditional use. Additionally, liquid natural gas
processing or storage and petroleum refining are subject to a 150 metre buffer from any other
zone and would require PAC approval if proposed beyond the back 40 metres of the subject site.
If the Committee considers it necessary, they may also recommend conditions be imposed by
Council pursuant to Section 39 of the Community Planning Act, which would be tied directly to
the rezoning and registered on title.
The current rezoning proposal represents a minor adjustment to the "1 -2" Heavy Industrial
zoning for Canaport. Total "1 -2" Heavy Industrial lot frontage will be increased by 6.7% and the
total lot area of Canaport will be expanded by only 0.06 %. Currently, no industrial activities at
the Canaport site front onto Red Head Road. Given the size, scale and existing lot frontage of the
Canaport site and the relatively small area proposed to be rezoned, staff have not recommended
that any conditions pursuant to Section 39 of the Community Planning Act be imposed by
Council.

ii. PID 00337022:
The current application proposes to rezone PID's 55050892, 00337022 and a portion of PID
55183800. The access road and the entrance sign are located on PID's 55050892, 55183800,
while nothing has been proposed for PID 00337022. At the June 18, 2013 meeting of the
Planning Advisory Committee, questions were raised with regards to why PID 00337022 was
included as part of the proposed rezoning application. It is the opinion of staff that PID
00337022 should be rezoned as this application is a minor adjustment to the existing "I -2" Heavy
Industrial zoning boundary in this area. Omitting PID 00337022 from this rezoning proposal
would create a small property zoned as "RFM" Rural Mobile Horne, surrounded on three
boundaries by industrial zoning. The PID also would not meet the zoning standards for the
"RFM" Rural Mobile Home Zone with regards to lot area and lot width. It also would not be
consistent with the Municipal Plan, which seeks to limit residential development in this area to
properties with a minimum 4 hectare lot area.

Summary of Analysis:
Page 5
August 16, 2013
As noted in the attached report, the proposed rezoning of 2240 Red Head Road from the "RFM" Rural
Mobile Home Zone to the "I -2" Heavy Industrial Zone in order to permit a freestanding sign and an
access road can be supported by staff. The access road was constructed as a condition of the Provincial
Government approval of the environmental impact assessment for the development of the Canaport
LNG facility; while the sign is necessary to provide a civic address for the Canaport Crude Terminal to
ensure the safety of the facility and employees. The location of the sign and access road mitigates the
visual impact on adjacent residential property owners by maintaining a minimum distance of 60 to 80
metres from any residential properties. The sign is not directly across from any residential properties and
is only visible in the peripheral views of adjacent properties. Therefore, approval of the application is
recommended.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO COMMITTEE:
That Common Council rezone a parcel of land having an area of approximately 1.5 hectares, located at
2240 Red Head Road, also identified as being PID Nos. 00337022, 55050892 and a portion of PID No.
55183800, from "RFM" Rural Mobile Home to "I -2" Heavy Industrial.

JURISDICTION OF COMMITTEE:
The Community Planning Act authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to give its views to Common
Council concerning proposed amendments to the Zoning By -law. The Committee recommendation will
be considered by Common Council at a public hearing on Monday, July 29, 2013.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO COMMITTEE:
That common council rezone a parcel of land having an area of approximately 1.5 hectares, located at
2240 Red Head Road, also identified as being PID Nos. 00337022, 55050892 and a portion of PID No.
55183800, from "RFM" Rural Mobile Horne to "1 -2" Heavy Industrial.
INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES:
Bell Aliant has been advised of this application.
Infrastructure Development Service has no objections to this application.
Inspection & Perinitting Services has no objections to this application.
Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline, Enbridge Gas, and Brunswick Pipeline have no objections to this
application.
Rogers has been advised of this application.
Saint John Energy has been advised of this application.
Saint John Fire Department has no objections to this application.
ANALYSIS:
The subject site is located at 2240 Red Head Road, at the intersection of Red Head Road and an access
road connecting to the Canaport Receiving Crude Terminal. The site has a street frontage of
approximately 90 metres along Red Head Road and a lot area of approximately 1.5 hectares. It is located
in a rural area containing a small number of single family residential properties as well as a large
industrial facility, the Canaport LNG Terminal.
The subject site contains the first 150 metres of an access road connecting Canaport to Red Head Road.
The access road was initially constructed between 2006 and 2008 as an emergency access. Over time the
property owner determined it to be necessary to pave the road and upgrade it to a permanent access road
to support the operations at Canaport. No planning approvals were obtained for the construction of this
access road. The applicant submitted the present application when this apparent oversight was brought
to its attention.
Cobalt Properties Limited page 3
2240 Red Head Road July 12, 2013
The applicant also proposes to erect a freestanding sign at the entrance of the property. The sign will be
set back 7.5 metres from both Red Head Road and the access road connecting to Canaport, as illustrated
on the attached plan. The sign will be approximately 7 metres in height with a total sign area of 16
square metres. The property owner, Irving Oil Limited, has erected similar signs at other industrial
facilities throughout the City. Details of the proposed sign are attached to this report.
The site is on the edge of the Rural Industrial designation in the Municipal Plan and is zoned "RFM"
Rural Mobile Home. The zone permits a variety of rural residential and institutional uses, but does not
permit a sign with a sign area of greater than 4.8 square metres. The "RFM" Rural Mobile Home Zone
also does not permit an access road to an industrial facility. The applicant has requested to have this
property rezoned from the "RFM" Rural Mobile Home Zone to the "I -2" Heavy Industrial Zone to
rectify the issue of zoning for the access road to Canaport and to permit the erection of the above -noted
freestanding sign.
The Municipal Plan recognizes the existence of a number of capital intensive heavy industrial facilities
located outside of designated industrial parks and supports the rezoning and re- designation of adjacent
land for Heavy Industrial uses providing it is generally compatible with the surrounding land uses. As
this rezoning application is for the purpose of rectifying an existing zoning non - conformance for the
aforementioned access road and to permit the erection of a freestanding sign at the entrance to an
existing heavy industrial facility, the impact on the surrounding neighbourhood is considered to be
minimal. The proposed sign is consistent with the provisions of the "I -2" Heavy Industrial Zone and �Aill
be appropriately set back from Red Head Road. Given these observations, approval of the proposed
rezoning is recommended.
CONCLUSION:
The application to rezone the subject property from "RFM" Rural Mobile Horne to "I -2" Heavy
Industrial is consistent A ith the Municipal Plan and will have no adverse impacts on the surrounding
area_ The rezoning represents a minor adjustment to the existing zone boundary and is necessary to
rectify zoning non - conformance issues regarding an existing access road to the Canaport site and to
permit a freestanding sign at the entrance to the property. Approval of the application is recommended.

Description of Application
Our client proposes to rezone PID's 00337022, 55050892, and a portion of 55183800
from RFM (Rural Mobile Home) to I -2 (Heavy industrial). We propose this rezoning for
the purpose to erect a pylon sign on PID 55050892 as shown on attached plan. We also
propose this rezoning to rectify the issue of the zoning on the access road to Canaport.
The access road was originally built as an emergency access road. Initially it was a dirt
road and not used as the main access road. The main access road to Canaport is now
the LNG access road. Over time it became necessary for Canaport to have its own main
access and at that point in time the road was built up and paved to be used on a daily
basis.

SUBJECT: LEGISLATIVE MODERNIZATION: CITY OF SAINT JOHN POSITION
PAPER
In April 2013, Members of Council received an update on the Government of New Brunswick's
efforts to modernize local government legislation. Common Council subsequently recommended
the implementation of the internal Engagement and Feedback Plan to further support the City's
position on legislative modernization. In. addition, a Common Council ad hoc committee on
legislative modernization was struck, which would support the development of the City's
position.
The Common Council ad hoc committee on legislative modernization, supported by a City Staff
Review Team, has since drafted a City of Saint John Position Paper on Legislative
Modernization along with a presentation for Common Council's consideration (see attachments).
As the legislative modernization conversation remains active, the Common Council ad hoc
committee on legislative modernization and the City Manager will continue to update Members
of Council on developments and recommendations to further refine the City's position.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that Common Council:
1. Adopt the City of Saint John's Position Paper on Legislative Modernization;
2. Direct the City Manager and Members of Council who participate in the Cities of New
Brunswick Association to submit the final version of the City's Position Paper and
continue to build pan- provincial collaboration;
Page 2
3. Direct the Common Council ad hoc committee on legislative modernization and the City
Manager to return to Common Council with any additional updates or developments
linked local governance reform.

A. BACKGROUND
The City of Saint John is encouraged by the Government of New Brunswick's vision and leadership on
local governance reform. The Government of New Brunswick introduced an ambitious local governance
reform agenda in December 2011, and over the past two and a half years, New Brunswickers have seen
various components of the agenda successfully implemented. Over
the past 20 years, New Brunswick has undertaken over 20 reports,
commissions and working groups linked to local governance reform.
We recognize that it is no small feat for any government to follow
through on a reform agenda of this scope.
The City of Saint John was very pleased to see the Government of
New Brunswick respond to many of the concerns and
recommendations from the City's 2012 Position Paper on Local
Governance Reform. The City of Saint John has remained active
throughout the current local governance reform exercise, and will continue to submit feedback in order
to build a stronger local governance system for the City of Saint John, municipalities, local service
districts and the Government of New Brunswick.
The City of Saint John encourages all stakeholders within New Brunswick's local governance system to
work collaboratively towards reforms that benefit all New Brunswickers. The Government of New
Brunswick has demonstrated great leadership in their determination to introduce timely and meaningful
reforms to local governments, and in turn, local governments must continue to offer perspective and
feedback in order for the exercise to be successful. Leadership cannot only be defined as defending
one's own interest within this legislative modernisation exercise, as all stakeholders should be prepared
to accept some level of compromise in order to achieve meaningful and sustainable reform.
B. VISION STATEMENT
The legislative modernization dialogue in New Brunswick would be well - served by the identification and
guidance of a vision statement. The use of a vision statement will ensure a consistent approach
throughout the development, implementation and maintenance of new legislation.
A successful outcome to the current legislative modernization process will
result in new comprehensive local governance legislation that empowers local
and regional decision- making, improves service delivery and accountability, all
while charting a sustainable future for New Brunswick's local government eco-
system.
Legislative modernization is a key feature in New Brunswick's quest to improve the current local
governance system, and one that should result in more autonomous and self - sufficient local
City of SaintJohn Position Paper on Legislative Modernization
August 2013 2
governments. In addition, the reforms should eliminate inefficiencies and outdated processes that
unnecessarily complicate intergovernmental affairs between provincial and local governments.
C. GENERAL FEEDBACK
1. PERMISSIVE RELATIONSHIP
As indicated in the City of Saint John's 2012 Position Paper on
Governance Reform, the permissive legislative approach has b
received by local governments in other provincial jurisdictions
Government of New Brunswick is encouraged to continue the
of a permissive relationship with local governments. The perry
approach will empower local governments to respond to eme
local issues in a timely and effective manner. The powers
granted to local governments within the permissive
legislation should remain broad to ensure the ability to
respond to local contexts. It is much easier to grow into
broader legislation than it is to move out of narrowly
defined legislation, especially when accounting for the
variety in local governments in New Brunswick.
2. CLEAR SPHERES OF JURISDICTIONS
The new legislation should clearly define jurisdictional responsibilities, and should prevent the
ability of one level of government to become involved in the affairs of other levels of government. If
issues /problems do arise, there is always the ability to develop issue - specific service level
agreements to clarify roles and responsibilities.
2. FINANCIAL CAPACITY
While Government of New Brunswick's current local governance reform agenda incorporates
several components, it is the City of Saint John's position that a discussion on legislative
responsibilities cannot be fruitful without the integration of a discussion on the fiscal relationship
between provincial and local governments. It would be irresponsible for provincial and local
governments to adopt a new legislative framework without a corresponding commitment from the
Government of New Brunswick to ensure that the financial capacities of local governments are
commensurate with their service responsibilities.
New Brunswick's local governance system also requires a pan - provincial conversation on possible
fiscal policy alternatives. The conversation on fiscal reform should examine all alternatives, and
should open the door to new revenue sources for local governments:
• Transferring a percentage of HST for use by municipalities.
• Allocating a portion of fuel tax for use by municipalities.
• Transferring the community funding arrangement through a tax room transfer.
• Exempting additional or all municipal infrastructure from provincial property taxation.
City of Saint John Position Paper on Legislative Modernization
August 2013
0 Government of New Brunswick becoming more active financial partners in the delivery of
urban transit systems.
There remains a disconnect between accountability, service delivery and taxation, and there is a
need to link taxation revenue with service responsibilities at the local level.
3. AUTONOMOUS ENTITIES
The new legislation should include preventative measures to ensure that one level of government
cannot download responsibilities or expectations onto another. In addition, new legislation should
identify how provincial and local powers will be protected from future jurisdictional infringements
and the necessary mechanisms to adjudicate such occurrences. As indicated earlier, the exercise of
local governance reform should be empowering for provincial and local governments and uphold
the autonomy of each level of government to manage and deliver their respective services. Local
governments should be invited as equal participants in intergovernmental meetings, which have
historically been limited to federal /provincial /territorial governments.
4. ENFORCEMENT CAPACITY
Future legislation should afford local governments the tools necessary to enforce matters that fall
within its sphere of jurisdiction. The tools found in section 190 of the current Municipalities Act are
examples of what should be available to enforce matters within local government jurisdiction,
including planning and land matters. There is a need to facilitate and simplify the ability to integrate
enforcement between different levels of government, in order to improve the collection of fines and
fees. Local governments should have the ability to remedy violations, with a variety of tools. In
addition, new legislation should afford greater protection to enforcement officers at the local level.
5. POWER TO GOVERN
Those powers afforded to local governments through the
new legislation should prevent time - consuming discussions
of jurisdictional powers on an ad hoc basis and
r intergovernmental deliberations. In the identification of
I local government powers, it is important not to over - extend
expectations on provincial or local governments; however
local government roles and responsibilities should be clear.
The new legislation will be a significant change for local
governments and the Government of New Brunswick, and
there is a need for all parties to be prepared to uphold the
terms of the legislation. For its part, the City of Saint John must maintain its
unique position within the provincial legislative framework for local
governments, as it is the only City in New Brunswick that was incorporated by
Royal Charter prior to the creation of New Brunswick and Canada.
City of Saint John Position Paper on Legislative Modernization
August 2013
C. SUSTAINABLE LAND USE PLANNING
New Brunswickers will benefit from provincial land use
policies and regional plans that encourage sustainable
development and smart growth. Planning from the local,
regional and provincial levels must be integrated into a
comprehensive package, along with all other matters that
fall within local governments. Land use planning in New
Brunswick should be governed by a bottom -up approach
that enables local governments to bring forward progressive
plans based on sound growth principles. In addition, th a act
must clarify how the different planning strategies and
regulations interact, and which ones take precedent over
others. The introduction of proportional voting by population on land and
planning matters in Regional Service Commissions is key to ensuring that
progressive local plans build strong regional plans. New legislation should
also consider the use of Tax Increment Financing as a means to encourage
strategic land use planning and economic development.
7. COMPREHENSIVE
The content of the legislation should be all- encompassing, bringing the
many existing pieces of separate legislation into one central piece of legislation. There will
undoubtedly be exceptions to this rule, but efforts should be placed on having one major reference
point for matters that fall under local government_ The content of the legislation should include a
major planning component, which should be well- integrated with other components of the
legislation.
8. LONG -TERM PERSPECTIVE
The objective of this legislative modernization exercise should be to introduce reform that is not
only meaningful, but lasting. The Government of New Brunswick must ensure that its proposed
reform package is decisive in responding to the current challenges within New Brunswick's local
governance system. Within the current local government context, partial reform or reform
components that will be discussed at a later date are no longer acceptable. Local government
stakeholders are prepared for change and the current landscape is ripe for New Brunswick to enter
into a new local governance era.
9. LOCAL GOVERNMENT CAPACITY
It is important for all stakeholders in the current legislative modernization dialogue to acknowledge
that there are considerable differences in the capacity of the S rural communities, 102 municipalities
and 264 local service districts in New Brunswick. The Government of New Brunswick should not be
prevented from modernizing its legislative relationship with local government because of the limited
capacity of some local governments. If need be, permissive legislation should be enacted for the use
of those local governments that have the capacity to utilize such authority.
City of Saint John Position Paper on Legislative Modernization
4
August 2013
10. REPORTING DIRECTLY TO CITIZENS
Local governments who are recipients of provincial funding
should be accountable and be expected to report to the
Government of New Brunswick. However, the local
governance system in New Brunswick should strive to
redefine the historical fiduciary relationship th at the
Government of New Brunswick has had with local
governments. Reform should aim to empower local
governments to become masters of their own destiny, and
more accurately balance financial capacity with fey■
service responsibilities. Strong and strategic financial M
management at the local government level should
not be a Government of New Brunswick 0
requirement, but a local government responsibility.
G�
The market should reward those local governments with strong and strategic financial management,
and local governments should experience a greater share of rewards associated with their own
growth.
11. PROCEDURAL
• In general, the permissive approach should be extended to procedural matters, and
afford local governments the ability to define procedural matters that best suit their
communities.
o The new legislation should refrain from defining when and how local
governments conduct meetings.
• Clarity is required on repercussions associated with breach of confidentiality.
e Provincial planning requirements linked to public hearings should not restrict mandatory
public notice to newspaper advertisements.
* A clearer conflict of interest mechanism should be defined, and linked to appropriate
guidelines, enforcement and ramifications.
12. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
• The following local government roles should be defined: Senior Officers; Chief
Administrative Officer; Clerk; Solicitor; Mayor; Members of Council; Deputy Mayor;
Council.
* The Department of Environment and Local Government is well served to continue
educating all stakeholders on the roles and responsibilities found within local
governments.
City of SaintJohn Position Paper on Legislative Modernization
August 2013
13. CONSULTATION /IMPLEMENTATION
• The current consultation facilitated by the Department of Environment and Local
Government could be improved by inviting resident experts /practitioners into the local
governance reform exercise.
• Each local government should be encouraged to
undertake their own investigation to help suppor
current reform conversation.
* The Department of Environment and Local
Government and the four municipal associations
encouraged to continue educating all stakeholder
reform alternatives, best practices, and
innovation.
The Department of Environment and Local
Government is encouraged to develop training
manuals and information sessions on the new
terms of the legislation (for both Members of
Council and administrators).
D. UNRESOLVED CHALLENGES
0
There are considerable challenges in the current local governance system, and while the Government of
New Brunswick's local governance reform agenda responds to many of those challenges, it is important
to acknowledge that not all challenges are currently incorporated in the current pan - provincial
conversation. The Government of New Brunswick and all local government stakeholders should be
conscientious of the following challenges that are currently falling outside of the purview of the local
governance reform exercise:
1. CITIES AGENDA
As indicated in the City's 2012 Position Paper on Local Governance Reform, New Brunswick
would benefit from a more strategic urban agenda, which should incorporate targeted reform in
planning, economic development, service delivery, transportation, among others. Cities in New
Brunswick support their neighbouring communities and indeed the continued economic
strength of New Brunswick.
The City of Saint John believes that urban centres must be active partners in the Province's
growth strategy, but not at the expense of towns, villages and local service districts. All local
governments play a role in New Brunswick's future, and should be actively involved in its
development. The City of Saint John is interested in receiving greater direction and vision from
the Province on the role urban municipalities will play in New Brunswick's future.
City of Saint John Position Paper on Legislative Modernization
August 2013 7
2. SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOODS
There is a continued need to resolve the imbalance between the financial capacity of urban
centres and the ongoing growth of outlying suburban communities that are not directly taxed
yet benefit from urban infrastructure, employment opportunities, recreational facilities and
cultural promotion.
3. COST DRIVERS
There are numerous intergovernmental cost drivers that hinder the long -term feasibility of local
governments, e.g., provincial /rural designated highways, fine revenue sharing, binding
arbitration, and policing standards.
4. SOCIAL ISSUES AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
The roles and responsibilities of local governments as they relate to homelessness, affordable
housing and poverty reduction remain unclear and merit a broader conversation.
5. DEFERRED INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTNANCE
Canada's local government deferred infrastructure deficit has risen to over $123 billion, and
requires the ongoing collaboration of all three levels of government in order to prevent
continued deterioration.

Re: Traffic By -Law Amendment
Douglas Avenue On- Street Parking
At its meeting held on June 10, 2013, Common Council resolved to
"endorse Option 4 and refer the Traffic By -Law Amendments contained
therein to the City Solicitor for placement in proper translated format for
Council's consideration ".
By report dated June 3, 2013 bearing M &C 2013 -116, staff, at Council's
request, outlined five options to address on- street parking concerns on
Douglas Avenue. In the end, staff recommended that Council endorse
Option 4 which permits parking on the east side of Douglas Avenue
except at crosswalks.
Attached to this report is an amendment to the Traffic By -Law which
achieves the desired results for the option endorsed by Council with
respect to the on- street parking on Douglas Avenue. It is appropriate for
Council to give it first and second reading.

REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL
August 28, 2013
M &C2013 -180
His Worship Mayor Mel Norton
and Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Members of Council:
SUBJECT: Safer School Zones Program
BACKGROUND
r Of. V91
The City of Saint John
Common Council adopted a City of Saint John Traffic Calming Policy in 2012. The goal of the
Policy is to reduce the speed or volume of vehicles on a street to improve the safety of other road
users such as cyclists and pedestrians.
Criteria to establish which streets should receive traffic calming measures and in what order form
part of this policy. Every street in the City is eligible to be screened for traffic calming when
such measures are identified.
The Traffic Calming Policy considers a number of evaluation parameters such as classification
of streets, street width, posted speed, etc. and assigns points to each circumstance. This system is
the basis for setting priorities for traffic calming measures.
Although a weighting value is provided to streets within 500 metres walking distance of an
elementary or middle school, absent from the policy is priority consideration for demographics,
social circumstances or institutional special needs.
The purpose of this report is for Council to consider the adoption of a companion document
"Safer School Zones" to the Traffic Calming Policy.
It can be demonstrated that areas around schools, particularly elementary and middle schools,
include some of the City's most vulnerable pedestrians, children. Therefore, it is appropriate that
these areas be given extra consideration pertaining to traffic calming. Although the current
policy does provide for the assignment of points within 500 metres of the school, it does not by
default guarantee that such a street becomes eligible for traffic calming nor becomes highest
priority.
The proposed Safer School Zones Program would operate to ensure that streets containing
schools (elementary, middle schools) would receive consideration ahead of other streets.
M &C2013 -180
August 28, 2013
Page 2
Based on community feedback and understanding of the benefit of providing traffic calming
focus for school children, staff believes that this is an appropriate adjustment to the Traffic
Calming Policy.
COMPANION /COMPLEMENTARY PROGRAM
Staff proposes the development and implementation of a new initiative; the Safer School Zones
Program. The scope of the Program would include all elementary and middle schools in the
City. With 24 elementary and middle schools within city limits, the program is challenging
without considering high schools, colleges or universities. It is also well documented, such as
through Safe Kids Canada, that younger children have a higher risk of injury as pedestrians given
their sight, hearing, cognitive and other skills are still developing.
This Program would provide benefit to several schools within the first year of implementation.
A phased plan to implement targeted and resource - intensive traffic calming measures is also
proposed.
Year One - Defining School Zones
Defining the School Zones around all elementary and middle schools would be completed in the
first year of implementation. Defining School Zones involves on- street signage and
consideration within the City's Traffic By -Law. These defined zones, as detailed within the
Traffic Bylaw, would allow Police to issue doubled fines for speeding in accordance with the
Provincial Motor Vehicle Act.
Transportation Association of Canada guidelines are used to establish the locations of the School
Zones and Areas. Areas around Island View School, Bayside Middle School and Devine Mercy
Catholic School would be exceptions, given their distance from streets. School Areas, as opposed
to School Zones, would only be defined around these three schools given the distance of the
school from the street. Signage would be installed on- street but their definition as an Area and
not a Zone would prevent the ability to issue doubled fines for speeding.
This Program would require a number of Traffic By -Law amendments. These amendments
would be referred to the City Solicitor for Council's consideration for inclusion in the Traffic
Bylaw. (See Appendix A.)
Phased Five Year Plan
In addition to defined school zones, staff would engage each school Principal, the Saint John
Police Force (Traffic Unit) and other appropriate stakeholders to fully understand specific traffic
concerns relative to each school. In consideration of the specific circumstances, measures
outlined within the City's Traffic Calming Policy would be considered for implementation.
100
M &C2013 -180
August 28, 2013

Reducing vehicle speeds and enhancing crosswalks would be a common theme near most
schools. Installing 30 KM /H or 40 KM /H speed limits, electronic speed message signs, durable
crosswalk markings, brighter neon crosswalk signs, raised crosswalks via use of speed humps, or
pedestrian- activated signals are examples of achieving these results. Prioritization of the 24
schools is required using consultation, street classification and relative traffic volumes as criteria.
The initial application of these criteria has resulted in the following priorities:

This 5 -year plan may need to be modified year -to -year to align with Neighbourhood Plans
resulting from P1anSJ, or other considerations not immediately apparent.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Continued installation of signs for defining the School Zones and Areas in the first year of this
program can be completed with available resources. The City Solicitor's Office may require
resources to draft the required Traffic By -Law Amendment.
The cost to complete each of the annual phases would vary and depend on the specific traffic
calming measures to be implemented around each school. It is anticipated materials required for
101
M &C2013 -180
August 28, 2013
Page 4
each traffic calming project around a school would cost in the range of $40,000, the majority of
these costs being associated with components such as signalized crosswalks and electronic speed
message signs. One of the three proposed 2014 projects could likely be funded within current
Pedestrian & Traffic Management Service budget levels but the two additional projects would
require additional funding.
RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS
The Traffic Division of the Transportation Department has been understaffed and underfunded
for a number of years. The Division has been unable to meet Council's expectations and the
expectations of the greater Saint John community. Council's adoption of this Safer School Zones
Program will further exacerbate this situation. Consequently, City staff will be recommending
an increased allotment of resources, both human and financial, to be included as part of the 2014
Operating Budget.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Your City Manager recommends that
1. Common Council approve a Safer School Zones Program to be given priority within the
Traffic Calming Policy;
2. Direct the City Solicitor to prepare the appropriate Traffic By -Law Amendments
described in this report;
3. Direct City staff to seek the Provincial Registrar of Motor Vehicles' approval of
establishing a School Zone on Loch Lomond Road; and
4. Refer resource requirements to implement this Safer School Zone Program to the annual
General Fund Operating Budget approval process for consideration.

Vimy- Estates Inc_: Subdivision
Freedom Court
JURISDICTION OF COMMITTEE:
Page 2
August 16, 2013
The Community Planning Act authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to advise Common Council
concerning the vesting of public streets and land for public purposes in conjunction with the subdivision
of land.
The Subdivision By -law authorizes the Committee to approve street names in conjunction with new
subdivisions.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO COMMITTEE:
1, That Common Council:
a. assent to one or more subdivision plans, in one or more phases, in general accordance
with the submitted Vimy Estates Inc. Tentative Plan of Subdivision for the re- aligned
Freedom Court, with respect to the vesting of the proposed public street and any required
municipal services easements and public utility easements; and
b. authorize the preparation and execution of one or more City /Developer Subdivision
Agreements to ensure the provision of the required work and facilities, including a
temporary turnaround for Freedom Court and detailed engineering and drainage plans for
the approval of the Chief City Engineer or his designate.
2. That the Planning Advisory Committee:
a. approve the proposed street name of Freedom Court.
INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES:
Bell Aliant have been advised of this application.
Infrastructure Development Service does not object to the re- subdividing of Freedom Court but do
have the following comments:
• The proposed new street alignment and new piped infrastructure (water, sanitary and storm) must
be engineered by the developer's engineering consultant and submitted by the developer's
engineering consultant to the City for review /approval.
• Freedom Court has a water main loop from Freedom Court to Hydro Place. The looping will no
longer be required but will require valving and the installation of a fire hydrant at this dead -
ended watermain location (Hydro Place). This work would be the responsibility of the developer.
Vimy Estates Inc.: Subdivision
Freedom Court
Page 3
August 16, 2013
■ Operations have noted that there is a lot of storm water that gets into the existing sanitary sewers
at these locations. Abandoning these pipes will reduce the flows to the sanitary sewers; however,
the developer's design will have to account for the Ioss of this "collection" system and prepare a
design with storm water management. New development cannot utilize sanitary sewers for storm
water.
• The developer's engineering consultant must provide a detailed storm water management
plan/report indicating how storm water collection and disposal will be handled;
• The submission for this proposal includes adjacent to this site, an existing NB Power easement.
Representatives from NB Power should provide comment on this easement.
• The proposed site plan includes an existing Enbridge Gas line — this should be commented on by
EGNB as this alignment may not be correct.
Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline, Enbridge Gas, and Brunswick Pipeline have advised this area is all
clear.
Real Estate Services have advised they support this application.
Rogers have been advised of this application.
Saint John Energy have been advised of this application.
BACKGROUND:
On June 19, 2012, Elias Management Group Inc. (EMG) received approval from the Planning Advisory
Committee for variances to develop a four - storey, mixed- income senior's apartment building, containing
a total of 62 one and two bedroom units. The proposal anticipated the closure of the two existing public
streets, Vimy Court and Freedom Court, and proposed a private driveway access from Churchill
Boulevard using the existing public street entrances.
This area is in an Intensification Area and directly across the street from the proposed YMCA -YWCA.
The City had concerns with the proposal to close and sell a potential future through access from this site
to the adjacent neighbourhoods, particularly given this area's historic isolation. Through negotiations
with the applicant, it was agreed that Freedom Court would remain open however it would re -open in a
location that provided a safer intersect with Churchill Boulevard, and would provide a direct street
access to the underground parking lot proposed for the apartment development.
Vimy Estates Inc.: Subdivision
Freedom Court
ANALYSIS:
Page 4
August 16, 2013
The Public Hearing for the closure of Freedom Court took place on June 18, 2013. First and second
reading took place on July 29, 2013 and third and final reading for this road closure took place on
August 12, 2013. The street is now closed and the proposed new alignment has been deemed to be
satisfactory to all relevant parties.
The closure and realignment of this street will have a positive impact on the ability to integrate this site
with the surrounding neighbourhood, without having a negative impact on the approved development.
Staff recommend that Planning Advisory Committee approve this subdivision.

JURISDICTION OF COMMITTEE:
The Zoning By -law authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to impose terms and conditions upon
establishment and operation of mobile home parks within the "RS -2" One and Two Family Suburban
Residential zone subject to the Mobile Home Parks By -law.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO COMMITTEE:
1. That the Committee impose the following terms and conditions on the establishment and
operation of a mobile home park:
(a) Detailed engineering drawings and design brief from a qualified professional engineering
consultant must be submitted to the City by the developer for review and approval prior
to the construction of any infrastructure to serve the expansion area. This will include a
review by the Fire Department with respect to access and fire hydrant locations.
(b) Water capacity and fire flow requirements must be provided by the developer's
engineering consultant and included with the detailed drawing submission for the City's
review and approval. This must outline the expected average and peak water
consumption flows from this proposed development at full build -out and confirm that
there is enough existing infrastructure capacity to support this proposed development.
Any upgrading of the existing municipal infrastructure required to service this expansion
will be the developer's responsibility and cost. Should the developer's engineering
consultant determine that a water booster pump is required to service this expansion, the
water booster pump will be private and as such, will be the ovv per's responsibility to
install and maintain. Any required infrastructure upgrades and the water booster pump
must be constructed by the developer at the time infrastructure is extended to service the
expansion area.
(c) A City approved premise meter and appropriate backflow prevention is to be installed by
the developer at Glen Road where the private watenmain that services the existing mobile
home park and proposed expansion area connects to the municipal watermain. This
infrastructure must be constructed by the developer at the time infrastructure is extended
to service the expansion area.
(d) The developer's engineering consultant must provide confirmation that the existing
sanitary sewer is capable of receiving the anticipated peak flows from full build -out of the
proposed development and that these flows do not exceed the current capacity of the
existing systems (downstream sanitary sewers and Simpson Drive lift station). This
confirmation must be submitted to the City for review and approval. Any upgrades to the
existing municipal infrastructure required to service this expansion will be the
developer's responsibility and cost and must be constructed by the developer at the time
infrastructure is extended to service the expansion area.
Hughes Surveys & Consultants Ltd. on behalf of 632504 New Brunswick Limited Page 3
220 Glen Road August 16, 2013
(e) The developer's engineering consultant must identify what corrective actions will be
taken to reduce inflow and infiltration in the sanitary sewer system in the existing mobile
home park which will result in a decrease in sanitary sewer flow. A review of inflow and
infiltration must be conducted by the developer's engineering consultant to the
satisfaction of the Chief City Engineer or Designate. An Inflow and Infiltration Study
consisting of flow monitoring, smoke testing, and a video inspection program must be
conducted on the existing sanitary sewer system of the mobile home park by the
developer's engineering consultant and submitted to the City for review and approval.
The flow monitoring must be conducted for a minimum period of four weeks during the
fall or spring of the year, ensuring that both wet weather and dry weather flows are
measured, but must not take place when the ground is frozen. Any improvements to the
private sanitary sewer collection system to reduce inflow and infiltration will be the
developer's responsibility and cost to complete. Required improvements to the existing
sanitary sewer infrastructure in the development must be constructed by the developer at
the time infrastructure is extended to service the expansion area.
(f) The developer's engineering consultant must provide a detailed site storm water drainage
plan and design report indicating how storm water collection and disposal will be handled
for the full build -out of the development. If any infrastructure improvements are required
to service this expansion, it will be the developer's responsibility and cost to complete
and must be constructed by the developer at the time infrastructure is extended to service
the expansion area.
(g) Construction of the roadway network in the new portion of the development must provide
appropriate temporary turnaround facilities for fire apparatus if a staged or phased
approach to the roadway construction is undertaken.
(h) Roadways in the existing portion of the development must be upgraded to the standards
outlined in the Mobile Home Parks By -Iaw within one year of approval of the conditional
use.
(i) The developer must prepare a plan for the dwelling sites to be constructed in the
expansion area detailing driveway locations, landscaping and setbacks of the dwelling
units from the limits of the individual sites. This plan must be submitted with the
Expansion Permit application for the review and approval of the Building Inspector and
Development Officer.
(j) Standards relating to the placement and size of accessory buildings on the manufactured

220 Glen Road August 16, 2013
BACKGROUND:
On June 18, 2013 the Planning Advisory Committee recommended that Common Council deny a
Municipal Plan Amendment for the subject property to redesignate the site from Rural Resource (outside
of the Primary Development Area) to Stable Residential (within the Primary Development Area). The
Committee tabled the Conditional Use portion of the application, pending the decision of Common
Council concerning the Municipal Plan Amendment.
On July 15, 2013 Common Council gave third reading to the required Municipal Plan Amendment to
redesignate the site from Rural Resource to Stable Residential.
INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES:
Anglophone South School District has been advised of the application.
Bell Aliant has been advised of the application.
Canada Post has been advised of the application.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) advises the street names "Rex Hurley Boulevard ", "Seraphina
Crescent" and "Teed Street" are acceptable.
Infrastructure Development Service has the following comments regarding the proposed Municipal
Plan amendment and conditional use to permit the expansion of the existing land lease community
located at 220 Glen Road:
Detailed engineering drawings and design brief from a qualified professional engineering
consultant must be submitted to the City for review and approval.
Water capacity and fire flow requirements must be verified by the developer's engineering
consultant and included with the detailed drawing submission. The City must have from the
developer's engineering consultant what the expected average and peak water consumption
flows will be from this proposed development at full build -out and confirmation that there is
enough capacity to support this proposed development. This information is to be provided to the
City for review and approval. Any upgrading of the existing municipal infrastructure required to
service this expansion will be the developer's responsibility and cost. Should the developer's
engineering consultant determine that a water booster pump is required to service this expansion,
the water booster pump will be private and as such, will be the owner's responsibility to install
and maintain.
A City approved premise meter and appropriate backflow prevention is to be installed by the
developer at Glen Road where the private watermain that services the existing mobile home park
and proposed expansion connects to the municipal watermain.
As noted in application, the water, sanitary and storm sewer systems within the mobile home
park extension will be private and are the responsibility of the developer to install and maintain.
The developer's engineering consultant must ensure that the existing sanitary sewer is capable of
receiving the anticipated peak flows from this proposed development at full build -out.
Confirmation of this and confirmation that this proposal does not exceed the current capacity of
the existing systems (sanitary sewers and Simpson Drive lift station) must be submitted to the
Hughes Surveys & Consultants Ltd. on behalf of 632504 New Brunswick Limited Page 6
220 Glen Road August 16, 2013
City for review and approval. Any upgrades to the existing municipal infrastructure required to
service this expansion will be the developer's responsibility and cost.
• Operations has noted that the existing mobile home park has a large amount of inflow and
infiltration. The developer's engineering consultant must identify what corrective actions will be
taken to reduce this inflow and infiltration which will result in a decrease in sanitary sewer flow.
• The developer's engineering consultant must provide a detailed site storm water drainage plan
and design report indicating how storm water collection and disposal will be handled for the full
build -out. If any infrastructure improvements are required to service this expansion, it will be
the developer's responsibility and cost to complete.
• As noted in the application, the roadways within the mobile home park extension will be private
and will not receive service from the City.
• On the submitted site plan, the proposed Rex Hurley Boulevard does not align with the existing
private roadway connection from Purdy Drive. The proposed street intersection should be
properly aligned.
• The developer is responsible for all solid waste collection services within the mobile home park.
• The submitted site plan indicates that this development is adjacent to a regulated wetland. Given
the proximity of this development to the wetland, it would be subject to review /comments of
New Brunswick Department of Environment.
• A more comprehensive review of the site will be undertaken by the City once the detailed
submission is provided by the developer's engineering consultant.
• The developer is responsible for obtaining all applicable permits.
Inspection & Permitting Services understands that the proposal comprises an expansion of the existing
Park and is not a residential manufactured dwelling unit subdivision as seen in other Municipalities and
provides the following comments:
1. The Building Code requires that an access route longer than 90 metres (the street appears
to be about 400 metres long) have a turnaround facility for Fire Apparatus. The staged
construction will have to take that requirement into consideration.
2. We have concerns about having the existing park upgraded to meet the minimum
requirement as per section 8(3) of the Mobile Home Parks By -Law.
3. Any agreement or conditions applied to the permission to expand should address the
ability to have accessory buildings, the requirement for permanent lot markers, the
requirement that a site be suitable to anchor a home, and the matter of how the homes are
to be spaced.
4. Double wide units, additions, porches, or decks should be limited in size or not allowed at
all.
5. Obviously landscaping standards will have to be imposed.
6. A recreation area and street lighting should be addressed as well.
Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline and Brunswick Pipeline advise this area is clear of their facilities.
N.B. Department of Environment has been advised of the application.
Rogers has been advised of the application.
Saint John Energy has been advised of the application.
Hughes Surveys & Consultants Ltd. on behalf of 632504 New Brunswick Limited Page 7
220 -Glen Road August 16, 2013
Saint John Fire Department has reviewed the proposal as it relates to the above - mentioned
application.
There is no objection regarding the application to amend the Municipal Plan, however the Fire
Department makes note that the street network would have to adhere to the following National Building
Code 2010 Standard 3.2.5.6. Access Route Design which provides that the road:
a) Have a clear width not less than 6 metres; unless it can be shown that lesser widths are
satisfactory.
b) Have a centerline radius not Iess than 5 metres.
C) Have an overhead clearance not less than 5 metres.
d) Have a change in gradient not more than 1 in 12.5 over a minimum distance of 15 metres.
e) Be designed to support the expected loads imposed by firefighting equipment and be surfaced
with concrete, asphalt, or other material designed to permit accessibility under all climate
conditions.
f) Have turnaround facilities for any dead -end portion of the access route more than 90 metres long,
g) Be connected with a public thoroughfare.
The Saint John Fire Department reserves the right to accept any turn - around areas as defined by the
developer. A site assessment will be required for the purposes of determining whether fire apparatus can
turn in any of the proposed turn around areas (Cul -De -Sac).
In addition to the above; the following condition shall apply with respect to the extension of water for
fire suppression.
• The hydrant network is installed according to the standard as adopted by the City of Saint John
and all hydrants public and private be maintained per code.
The Fire Department assesses the final plan with respect to appropriateness of hydrant
placements.
Saint John Police Force has no issues with the request.
Saint John Transit has been advised of the application.
Transportation & Environment Services has been advised of the application. Parks & Public Spaces
service notes the proposed development is within 500 metres of a neighbourhood playground and as
such there is no requirement for additional publically- supported infrastructure in the area. Staff have
reviewed the application and have no objection.
ANALYSIS:
Conditional Use Application
A mobile home park is a conditional use, subject to the Mobile Home Parks By -law, in the "RS -2" One
and Two Family Suburban Residential zone. As such, it is subject to additional terms and
conditions as may be deemed necessary by the Planning Advisory Committee to protect properties
within the zone or in abutting zones, or the health, safety and welfare of the general public.
Hughes Surveys & Consultants Ltd. on behalf of 632504 New Brunswick Limited Page 8
220 Glen Road August 16, 2013
In addition to the conditional use application, the development is subject to the standards outlined in the
Mobile Home Parks By -law and would be subject to the issuance of an Expansion Permit under the By-
law. From a review of the plans submitted with the application, recommended terms and conditions
pertain to standards for the infrastructure to support the development and design issues related to items
such as layout of the sites, proposed recreation areas and buffers.
Infrastructure
As is the case with the existing development, the expansion area will utilize private infrastructure that is
connected to and served by the City's infrastructure network. Based on a review of the proposal, the
City's Infrastructure Development Service Area has identified the following issues to be addressed in
the detailed design of the development and detailed engineering drawings and design brief from a
qualified professional engineering consultant must be submitted to the City for review and approval:
• Water Supply - Water capacity and fire flow requirements will have to be verified at the detailed
design stage and any upgrades required to the City's water system to support the development
will be at the developer's expense. If the developer's assessment determines that existing water
pressures are not sufficient to support the development, the developer will be responsible for
constructing a private water booster pump to serve the development and will be responsible for
any ongoing maintenance of this infrastructure. In addition, to protect the existing municipal
water distribution network in the area, a City approved premise meter and appropriate backflow
prevention device is required to be installed by the developer at the point where the private
system connects to the City's water distribution network.
• Sanitary Sewer— The developer's engineering consultant must confirm that the existing sanitary
sewer is capable of receiving the anticipated peak flows from this proposed development at full
build -out. Confirmation that this proposal does not exceed the current capacity of the existing
systems (sanitary sewers and Simpson Drive lift station) must be submitted to the City for review
and approval. Any upgrades to the existing municipal infrastructure required to service this
expansion will be the developer's responsibility and cost. Staff also note that the existing mobile
home park has a large amount of inflow and infiltration (groundwater and surface water which
enters into the private sewer collection system). The developer's engineering consultant must
also identify what corrective actions will be taken to reduce this inflow and infiltration which
will result in a decrease in sanitary sewer flow.
• Stormwater Management - The developer's engineering consultant must provide a detailed site
storm water drainage plan and design report indicating how storm water collection and disposal
will be handled for the full build -out. Any infrastructure improvements are required to service
this expansion will be the developer's responsibility and cost to complete.
• Roadways - The streets in the development will be private streets and would be built and
maintained in accordance with standards established in the Mobile Home Parks By -law.
Currently, the majority of roadways in the existing development do not meet the standards of the
By -law in that they are not paved. The applicant has indicated paving of existing roadways will
be completed in conjunction with the proposed expansion. Section 8(3)(b) of the Mobile Home
Parks By -law provides for an expansion to a mobile home park to occur concurrent to the
upgrading of an existing portion of a Mobile Home Park to the standards contained in the by-
law. A condition is recommended to require this work to be carried out within one year of
approval of the conditional use.
• Private Infrastructure and Solid Waste Collection - As noted in application, the water, sanitary
and storm sewer systems and roadways within the mobile home park extension will be private
Hughes Surveys & Consultants Ltd. on behalf of 632504 New Brunswick Limited Page 9
220 Glen Road August 16, 2013
and are the responsibility of the developer to install and maintain. The developer is responsible
for all solid waste collection services within the mobile home park. Conditions are recommended
to affirm these requirements.
General Design Issues
In addition to the conditional use application, the development is subject to the standards outlined in the
Mobile Home Parks By -law and would be subject to the issuance of an Expansion Permit under the By-
law. From a review of the application staff have identified the following items which are recommended
for the imposition of terms and conditions:
• Location ofpad sites — Staff recommend the limits (corners) of each manufactured home site be
permanently identified with stakes or other means of identification to facilitate on -going site
inspections.
• Buffering — The Mobile Home Parks By -law requires a 7.62 metre wide buffer around the
periphery- of the park. Drawings provided by the applicant show the required buffer with a large
portion of the buffer area corresponding with existing treed portions of the site, however Staff
note that an existing hedge along the existing development area along Glen Road is in poor
health. Given this, Staff recommend that additional detail be provided for the restoration and
enhancement of the buffer area along Glen Road adjacent to the existing developed area and the
limits of tree clearing around the periphery of the expansion area be provided with the
application for the expansion permit and that these plans be subject to the approval of the
Building Inspector.
• Site Design Standards — Staff recommend that conditions applied to the permission to expand
should address the following site design issues:
o Placement and size of accessory buildings on the manufactured home sites and the size
and location of additions, porches and decks onto the units. The applicant has indicated
that the developer will be preparing standards for the development that will take the
effect of a covenant. Staff recommend that these standards be prepared by the developer
and submitted with the application for the expansion permit and be subject to the
approval of the Building Inspector and Development Officer.
o Preparation of a plan for the expansion area detailing driveway locations, landscaping
and setbacks of the dwelling units from the limits of the individual sites. It is
recommended that this be prepared by the developer and submitted with the Expansion
Permit application for the review and approval of the Building Inspector and
Development Officer.
o Suitable anchorage of the manufactured homes against uplift should be addressed at the
building permit stage with plans detailing the anchorage of the units to be submitted by
the developer with the building permit application.
o A plan detailing the location and type of streetlights including fixture type and wattage in
the existing development and proposed for installation in the expansion area must be
prepared by the developer and submitted to the Building Inspector for review and
approval with the Expansion Permit application.
o A recreation area is a requirement for the existing developed area of the park, but was not
constructed by the original developer. The current developer is proposing to construct a
tot lot and park area in the central portion of the existing developed area and provide
three additional park areas / tot lots in the expansion area. Staff recommend that detailed
plans for the four park areas be prepared and submitted with the Expansion Permit
application for the approval of the Building Inspector and Development Officer. Staff
also recommend a time limit on construction requiring the park area and tot lot in the
Hughes Surveys & Consultants Ltd. on behalf of 632504 New Brunswick Limited Page 10
220 Glen Road August 16, 2013
existing portion of the development to be completed within one year of the approval of
the conditional use application and the remaining three park areas in the expansion area
to be completed within one year of the completion of the roadways in the expansion area.
The applicant has proposed that only new dwelling units will be placed in the proposed expansion area
and on redeveloped sites within the existing developed area. Staff recommend a condition be imposed
requiring that all manufactured dwelling units at the time of placement in the development meet the
current requirements of the National Building Code of Canada without requiring any modification.
Street names for the roadways in the development have been proposed by the developer and reviewed by
the City's GIS division. It is recommended that the Committee recommend Common Council approval
of the street names "Rex Hurley Boulevard ", "Seraphina Crescent" and "Teed Street"
CONCLUSION:
The proposed use of the site as an expansion of the existing manufactured housing development is
subject to terms and conditions as may be deemed necessary by the Planning Advisory Committee to
protect properties within the zone or in abutting zones, or the health, safety and welfare of the general
public. Approval of the application subject to the proposed terms and conditions is recommended.

Saint John, New Brunswick August 28, 2013
Ile: Stonehammer Global Geopark
Dear Mayor Norton and Councillors:
Following Stonehammer Geopark'.s presentation on May 27, 2013 a motion was made and duty
approved to send the funding request of $25,.000 to the finance committee for consideration in due
course.
I want to request this consideration be given early and a decision communicated before September 30,
2013 for the following reason_ Stonehammer has a written commitment from ACOA that they will
provide 1/3 matching funds for every dollar raised by Stonehammer if the commitment from the
donor(s) is received before September 30, 2013.
I would like to add that no monies are actually required to be received before 2o14; .however ' a 'written
commitment from the City of Saint John will be sufficient to enable Stonehammer access to this ACOA
'Funding.
As the majority of this potential ACOA funding will assist in preparation and execution of the 6r'
International UNESCO Conference on Global Geoparks to be held in Saint John in September 2014 it will
help to ensure the fiscal viability of the conference event as well as to further efforts to promote Saint
John and the Geopark both nationally and internationally_
It is my understanding you will begin formative budget discussions in September and I tralst that you
may be able to assist us in leveraging your own potential commitment.

x Re: Mobile Signage
0
At a recent meeting of Common Council a motion was adopted to
remove mobile signage within the city right of way. This motion
z was initiated to address real estate agent's signage that has
proliferated in residential areas of the city. It has come to our
attention, through City staff, that mobile signs commonly
referred to as sandwich boards' will be included in a city wide
sweep to remove signs.
The sandwich board sign is an affordable means of advertising
w for many businesses in the uptown area. Frequently this type of
W signage is used by new businesses that are located off the main
streets of the uptown as a way to encourage pedestrian traffic to
their doors. Most sandwich board signs are branded with the
graphics of the business in a professional manner.
0 Our board has discussed this issue and feel that sandwich board
z signage is a necessary form of signage and advertising for our
businesses. Elimination of this type of affordable advertising will

mobile sign) signs in the uptown but the standards and

We encourage Council to work towards an amendment to the
Zoning Bylaw that would permit mobile signs in the uptown. In
the interim we would ask the mobile signs in the uptown be

individuals or committee tasked with this signage issue

new criteria for mobile signs in the uptown area.
For any issues related to the vitality of the area or the
businesses and services within the area, we encourage our
