Dear Mr, Somerville:
Subject: Lots South of Vulcan Street (PiDs 00002444 and 55147482)
Thank you for your letter dated November 5, 2015 regarding the above noted properties. 1,
along with City Staff, have reviewed the letter and provide the following response relating to
your proposed ideas for the development of green space on the site.
The lands were the former location of the Saint John iron Works and were the location of a
boiler house for the former sugar refinery. With the recent adoption of the City's new Municipal
Plan and Zoning By -law, these lands are located within the Uptown Primary Centre designation
of the Municipal Plan and are Zoned Waterfront Commercial (CW). These areas are envisioned
to accommodate mixed -use development such as commercial, community facility, port or
residential land uses.
Recognizing the strategic value of these lands, the Waterfront Commercial (CW) zoning
requires that any development on these lands be the subject of a planning application that is
reviewed by the City's Planning Advisory Committee and approved by Common Council. This
includes the development of the site as green space.
We have reviewed the proposal for development of the green space and other improvements to
the site. However, due to the following considerations we cannot support the proposal at this
time:
• There is no confirmation that archaeological resources exist at this location. Should
future development of the property occur, it would respect any Provincial requirements
relating to archeological resources on the property.
• The City currently has commitments on these lands with a prospective purchaser
through an agreement of purchase and sale.

Mr. Graeme Somerville 324 Charlotte Street November 26, 2015
• Removal of the asphalt is not permitted. Due to environmental concerns associated with
the former use of the site, the asphalt acts as the approved barrier capping the
underlying soil.
• No funds are proposed in the City's Capital Budget Program related to infrastructure
improvements around the periphery of the site.
Over the longer term, we understand that there may be potential through Saint John Waterfront
Development to develop a lookout at the end of Sydney Street in conjunction with the eventual
extension of Harbour Passage through the area. This potential lookout area could incorporate a
panel outlining the history of the site.
While the development of the site as green space is not supported at this time, City staff are
available to review and discuss any additional information that you may find during the course of
your research.
Sincerely,
�Je Trail,
y Manager

re: Lots south of Vulcan Street, PID 0002444 and PID 55147482
Lower Cove Graveyard
Dear Mr. Trail,
In May and June of this year Common Council approved my request for permission to conduct
above ground (ie. electromagnetic and ground penetrating radar) surveys of the above lots in July
and August of this year.
Both surveys were conducted by Amec Foster Wheeler but, because of the quantity of trash under
the surface, neither survey could detect either the presence of grave shafts or stone grave
markers. While these findings were disappointing it did put to rest any lingering advice that `we
should have done EM and GPR surveys'.
However newspaper reports of statements in 1830 by former mayor Robert F. Hazen and in 1903
by then mayor Dr. W. W. White point to the existence of a graveyard in, or more likely covering
all of, the two above numbered lots.
There is also one indication that the site was used by the French inhabitants as a graveyard long
before the arrival of the Loyalists in May of 1783. Furthermore there is evidence that this was the
principal place of burial for 21 /2years before the Loyalist Burial Ground was opened in the fall of
1785.
Exact records do not exist but there are indications the Loyalist Burial Ground may contain in the
vicinity of 12,000 burials and the Lower Cove Graveyard in the vicinity of 10,000 burials.
In view of the above statements may I suggest to Mayor Norton and Common Council that the
above lots be set aside for development into a green space and suitably marked as to its historic
relevance to the early days of Saint John.
To do this a small part of the development would be undertaken by the City of Saint John. That, I
suggest would be the installation of concrete curbing along the Charlotte, Vulcan and Sydney
Street edges of the two lots and a concrete sidewalk alongside the Vulcan Street curbing.
The larger part of the development would involve the removal of the chain -link fencing now
10
there as well as removing the asphalt and wild grass presently covering both lots, to a depth
sufficient to eliminate the trash lying under the present surfaces. In conversation with A.rnec
Foster Wheeler staff this work needs the use of a back -hoe with a blade bucket and the constant
presence of an archeologist to guide the back -hoe in its digging. There is no suggestion that
graves be excavated.
To do this larger part of the restoration may I suggest that Saint John Waterfront Development be
asked to undertake this aspect of the project. I have had informal discussion with Mr. Kent
McIntyre, general manager of that organization and he is keen on the matter.
It is my understanding from discussion with Waterfront Development that there is a plan to
extend Harbour Passage around the southern perimeter of the south end. Should Harbour Massage
proceed along Vulcan Street the presence of this graveyard may enhance the appeal of Harbour
Massage.
Maybe, at some time, the site should be declared a Provincial, or National, Historic Site although
1 have done no investigation of this possibility.
Should you have any questions I can be reached at 632 -2020.
I trust that I shall have the pleasure of hearing from you.
Sincerely,
f

Dear Mr. Train,
Subject: Lots South of Vulcan Street (PIDs 00002444 and 55147482)
Thank you for your letter of November 26, 2015 in response to mine of November 5'. The latter
letter was intended for the Common Council and followed the same addressing format as was
used in my letter of May 4, 2015 to Mr. Patrick Woods, your predecessor. In addressing that
letter to Mr. Woods I followed the instructions of Councillor Donna Reardon and the letter
reached its intended destination, ie: the Common Council.
Apparently addressing procedures have change and I was not aware of that.
It will be appreciated if you would see that my letter to you of November 5�" is placed before
Council.
Regarding your statement "Removal of the asphalt is not permitted. Due to environmental
concerns associated with the former use of the site ....etc." This suggests that the subsurface has
been excavated and examined. It would be appreciated if a copy of this study could be sent to me
so that it can be examined by my archeological engineers and soil specialists.
Finally, my letter of November 5" does give credible references (namely former mayor Robert F.
Hazen (in 1830) and incumbent mayor Dr. W. W. White (in 1903) as to the existence of a
graveyard south of Vulcan Street.
There is thus no doubt of the existence of a graveyard there and the prospective purchaser should
be made aware of this fact by your staff.
Sincerely,
Graeme F. Somerville

RECOMMENDATION
That Common Council assent to the submitted subdivision plan entitled
"Amending Subdivision Plan — Plan to Accompany Lease from Canadian National
Railway Company as Manager and Operator of Canadian Government Railways
to Tim Donut Limited ", located at 199 Hilyard Street (PID 55090856 and
55090864), with respect to the vesting of the proposed municipal services
easement.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this report is to seek Common Council's assent to a municipal
services easement to protect existing City piped infrastructure.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
There are no previous resolutions related to this matter.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
It is in the interest of The City of Saint John to obtain easements for the
protection and maintenance of municipal services.
REPORT
The attached plan of subdivision has been submitted that would create Lot 15 -01
(constituting the existing Tim Horton's on Hilyard Street) and Parcel "A" (to be
consolidated with the adjacent Hilyard Place property.) This plan would also vest
10
Ma
in the City a municipal services easement over Lot 15 -01 in order to protect
existing municipal piped infrastructure (sanitary and storm sewer.) The location
and necessary easement requirement has been confirmed by the Infrastructure
Development division of Growth and Community Development Services. The
purpose of this report is to recommend the necessary formal acceptance of the
easement by resolution of Common Council.
Often the vesting of municipal services easements is considered by Council in a
recommendation from the Planning Advisory Committee when dealing with
more significant subdivision and development applications where additional
approvals are required. However, in this case there are no other approvals that
require the consideration of the Committee, and the Community Planning Act
does not require the Committee's involvement when only dealing with
easements.
The vesting of the proposed municipal services easement is supported by
Infrastructure Development. Therefore Council's assent to the attached
subdivision plan with respect to the proposed municipal services easement is
recommended.

OPEN OR CLOSED SESSION
This matter is to be discussed in open session of Common Council.

RECOMMENDATION
As provided in M &C 2015 -251, the City Manager recommends:
1) That Common Council reallocate surplus capital funds totalling $94,000
to fund the cost associated with the City Market Head Tower — Design
Services for Proposed Renovations; and
2) That Common Council approve that the design work be based on moving
select City departments /divisions into the City Market Head Tower.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this report is to seek Common Council's approval to reallocate
surplus funds previously approved in the 2014 (carry -over) and 2015 capital
budgets, which have yet to be expended, to cover costs associated with the
design fees for the Proposed Renovations to the City Market Head Tower.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
At a meeting of the Common Council held on December 22, 2014, the following
resolution was adopted:
"RESOLVED that as recommended by the City Manager in the
submitted report M &C 2014 -233: Saint John City Market Head Tower
— Design Consulting Services for Proposed Renovations — Award of
Contract:
1) That Common Council award the Design Consulting Services for
Proposed Renovations to the City Market Head Tower to the low
19
Spa
bidder, Murdock and Boyd Architects, for the contract price of
$154,000 plus HST; and
2) That the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute the
necessary documents."
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
The City Market has been identified as a high priority by Common Council. The
City Market Head Tower — Design Services for Proposed Renovations has
previously been approved by Common Council, but funds are not currently
allocated for the work. With the impending funding from Atlantic Canada
Opportunities Agency (ACOA) and the Regional Development Corporation (RDC),
for the revitalization of the City Market, including the Head Tower, and the
timelines associated with the work, it is imperative that design work start as
soon as possible.
►:74101a9
In the 2014 capital budget, $270,000 was allocated to the Architectural and
Engineering work that would be required for the rehabilitation of the City
Market Head Tower. This funding was subsequently carried over to 2015, and
was to include a provision for the partial demolition of the interior finishes to
reveal representative portions of the structure to allow for "as- built" conditions
to be verified prior to the commencement of design work.
In spring of 2015, Facility Management staff and the Architectural and
Engineering team looked at the cost - benefit of completing a wholesale
demolition of the interior finishes in lieu of only a partial, representative sample,
which was originally planned. It became apparent that a wholesale demolition
of the interior finishes would give a better picture of the "as- built" conditions for
the Architects and Engineers, revealing all concealed structural components.
This would improve the accuracy of the design documents and potentially
minimize unforeseen, extra costs during construction. More specifically,
spending the extra money now to complete the wholesale demolition will save
us money during the construction phase of the project. In addition, the
demolition phase will soon be completed, thus reducing the overall construction
cost and schedule at the time of the rebuild.
Further to the above, approximately $175,000 of the original budget of $270,000
has been expended to date on the demolition work, which leaves $95,000
remaining to be put toward the actual design work.

am
As can be seen in the table below, two additional 2015 capital projects each have
a surplus after the work was completed and /or cancelled.

$26,000
Total Surplus

It is recommended that the surplus associated with these two projects ($94,000)
be combined with the remaining $95,000 originally budgeted for the design work
to fund the Architectural and Engineering work that is required for the
rehabilitation of the City Market Head Tower. The combined total of these
sources of funding is $189,000.
As provided by the resolution noted above, the design work was previously
awarded to Murdock and Boyd Architects for a contract price of $154,000, which
totals $174,020 including HST. Factoring in the HST rebate, the cost for the
design work is $159,280.36.
Staff recommends that the approximate $20,000 difference between the design
cost ($159,280.36) and the combined surplus funds ($189,000) be used as a
design contingency, which may be required once the demolition of the interior
finishes reveals the existing structural conditions of the Head Tower.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
As previously mentioned, the total cost of the City Market Head Tower — Design
Services for Proposed Renovations is $159,280.36 factoring in the HST and HST
rebate. City staff recommends that the remaining /surplus capital from
previously approved 2014 (carry -over) and 2015 capital budgets for various
projects (totalling $189,000) be reallocated to fund this project, which will
include a design contingency allowance of approximately $20,000 including HST.
The design work will be based on moving select City departments /divisions into
the City Market Head Tower, thus, reducing the "footprint" of leased space
required in the future.

RECOMMENDATION
That pursuant to section 4 of 1877 (15t Session) Statutes of New Brunswick,
Chapter 8, the building at 261 -267 Crown Street currently encroaching upon the
said Crown Street be permitted to continue encroaching "until such ... building
be destroyed or materially damaged by fire, or shall become dilapidated or out
of repair ...."
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A request was received on behalf of the owners of 261 -267 Crown Street to
accommodate the encroachment of their building upon Crown Street, a public
street. Evidence gathered indicates that the current building existed on site in
1875 and that the site was not affected by the Great Fire 1877. That being the
case, Council may adopt a resolution permitting the encroachment.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
N/A
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
N/A
REPORT
This department received a request from Richard F. McPhee, solicitor for the
owners of 261 -267 Crown Street seeking relief as his clients' building encroaches
22
-2-
upon the Crown Street right -of -way. In the usual course the remedy is to
request that Common Council advertise its intention to stop up and close that
portion of Crown Street encroached upon, and if the street is stopped up and
closed, to grant an easement "until such building be destroyed or materially
damaged by fire, whereupon such easement and all rights incidental thereto
shall cease ". However, in this instance, as 261 -267 Crown Street was not within
the area burned during the Great Fire of 1877, if the owners can conclusively
demonstrate that the building was extant at the time of the Great Fire then they
could avail themselves of section 4 of 1877 (15t Session) Statutes of New
Brunswick, Chapter 8:
"... and provided also, that in case any dwelling house, storehouse or other
building shall be standing and being on any such street or upon and over
the sideline of any such street at the time of the passing of this Act, (5
Sept. 1877) in that part of the City of Saint John not within the burnt
district in the third Section of this Act mentioned, it shall not be required
that the same should be forthwith removed, but the same may be
permitted by the Common Council of the said City to be continued until
such dwelling house, storehouse or other building be destroyed or
materially damaged by fire, or shall become dilapidated or out of repair, ..."
The owners have provided information to confirm that a building of similar size
and configuration to the current building was extant in 1875. The historic
records do not allow a precise calculation of the dimensions of the pre -1877
building, but it does seem that it is the building currently on the site in question.
The cinder -block foundation wall located along Crown Street frontage is of more
recent age, replacing part of the old stone foundation still found at the sides and
rear of the building. The cinder -block portion has been confirmed by City staff to
be a replacement of part of the original stone foundation. That being the case, a
resolution of Common Council will provide sufficient remedy.

Your Worship and Councillors:
SUBJECT: Subdivision and Variance Application
Aspen Street and Ash Street Area (Project File: 200 Ash
Street)
21-1?n7
The City of Saint John
The Committee considered the attached report at its December 8, 2015 meeting.
Brian Moreau and Tim McCluskey, the applicants, appeared before the
Committee and spoke in favour of staff recommendation. The Committee asked
the applicants if there would be any land abutting the lake that would include
public access. Mr. McCluskey responded that there is no land on the subject side
of the lake that is currently publicly owned, but that the applicants have included
a small walking path that overlooks the lake. Mr. McCluskey added that the
original intention was to make this path publicly accessible; however, residents of
the surrounding neighbourhood advised that the path should be deeded and only
granted access to residents of the area due to fears that the space will be
misused.
The Committee asked the applicants how they intended to ensure that the runoff
from the proposed Treadwell Village Subdivision would not negatively impact the
water quality of the lake. The applicants responded that they intend on
preserving a portion of the forested areas of the properties by way of deed to
ensure that natural filtration systems remain intact.
The Committee asked the applicants what, if anything, were they intending on
doing to preserve any existing unmapped wetland areas that may be disturbed
by the build out of the proposed subdivision. Mr. Moreau stated that he was not
aware of any unmapped wetlands, but would take precautions to ensure they are
sustainably handled if they encounter any wetland areas.

Brian Moreau & Tim McCluskey Ash Street & Aspen Street December 9, 2015
The applicants added that they believe the proposed development of Treadwell
Village Subdivision is in keeping with the direction established by PlanSJ, and
that the build out of this community will help support the local school. No other
persons appeared before the Committee regarding the application.
Two letters were received expressing concern with the proposed subdivision.
After considering the applicants' statements, the letters received and the
attached report, the Committee approved the requested variances, and
recommended that Council approve staff recommendation.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That Common Council assent to one or more subdivision plans, in one or
more phases, in general accordance with the submitted Treadwell Village
Subdivision tentative plan with respect to the vesting of the proposed
public streets and future street.
2. That Common Council authorize the acceptance of any necessary
municipal drainage easements.
3. That Common Council authorize the acceptance of money -in -lieu of the
required land for public purposes (LPP).
4. That Common Council authorize the preparation and execution of one or
more City /Developer Subdivision Agreements to ensure provision of the
required work and facilities, including detailed site and drainage plans for
the approval of the Chief City Engineer.
Respectfully submitted,

By -law and Zoning By -law. The Committee can impose
conditions.
SUMMARY
The applicants have submitted a proposal to subdivide six large parcels in the Treadwell Lake
area of the City in order to facilitate the future development of approximately 44 residential lots.
The lot sizes range from 5,350 square metres to 1.41 hectares, with the majority of the lot sizes
being less than 6,000 square metres. Four of the proposed 44 lots, if approved, will abut
Treadwell Lake.
The proposed "Treadwell Village Subdivision" includes the development of "Water Lily Way ",
which is a long rural road that extends from a proposed extension of Aspen Street to
approximately 115 metres from Treadwell Lake at its nearest point. The proposed subdivision
also includes five cul -de -sacs, two of which are short cul -de -sacs with the proposed names of
"Wood Glade Court" and "Forest Glen Court ". Each of these cul -de -sacs, including the cul -de-
sac at the northern terminus of Water Lily Way, contains four proposed lots.
The subject area is located in the Rural Settlement Area land use designation of the City's
Municipal Plan. The development of low density unserviced residential lots within this land use
designation is in keeping with the direction of the Plan. Treadwell Lake is one of three Rural
Settlement Areas identified in the Plan, which are areas intended to capture a small amount of
residential development over the course of the 25 year lifespan of the Plan. The growth that
occurs in these rural areas of the City is meant to help preserve the surrounding historical
neighbourhoods and complement the existing character of the area.
The proposed development includes several variances from the Subdivision By -law, as well as
a variance from the Zoning By -law. These can be supported as they are minor in nature and
have no apparent negative impacts on the surrounding community.
RECOMMENDATION
1. That Common Council assent to one or more subdivision plans, in one or more phases,
in general accordance with the submitted Treadwell Village Subdivision tentative plan
with respect to the vesting of the proposed public streets and future street.
2. That Common Council authorize the acceptance of any necessary municipal drainage
easements.
3. That Common Council authorize the acceptance of money -in -lieu of the required land for
public purposes (LPP).

4. That Common Council authorize the preparation and execution of one or more
City /Developer Subdivision Agreements to ensure provision of the required work and
facilities, including detailed site and drainage plans for the approval of the Chief City
Engineer.
5. That the Planning Advisory Committee grant the following variances from the
requirements of the Subdivision By -law that would:
a. permit Lots 4, 5, 6 and 7 to abut the shore of Treadwell Lake, whereas the
Subdivision By -law requires a street or Land for Public Purposes along the
shoreline;
b. reduce the minimum right -of -way width for the proposed extensions of Ash Street
and Aspen Street, between their existing terminus and the intersection of Water
Lily Way, to approximately 20.12 metres, whereas the Subdivision By -law
requires a minimum width of 23.1 metres;
c. permit the intersection of Ash Street and Water Lily Way and the intersection of
Aspen Street and Water Lily Way to be four -way intersections, whereas the
Subdivision By -law requires a T- intersection;
d. permit the proposed cul -de -sac at the end of Ash Street to be constructed in the
shape of a "P" rather than symmetrical about the centreline or "reverse -P "; and,
e. increase the maximum length for a cul -de -sac to approximately 400 metres
where Water Lily Way extends south of Ash Street, and to approximately 121
metres where Ash Street extends eastward past Water Lily Way, whereas the
Subdivision By -law permits a maximum length of 105 metres.
6. That approval of the above variances be subject to the following conditions:
a. The subdivision be developed in accordance with the Public Health Act and the
On -site Sewage Disposal System Regulation;
b. The subdivision be developed in accordance with the Clean Water Act and the
Water Well Regulation; and,
c. That a report, prepared by an engineer or geoscientist, be submitted prior to
approval of the final subdivision plan that:
i. Demonstrates the sustainability of the water supply, the acceptability of
the anticipated water quantity and quality, and negligibility of potential
impact on existing water users; and,
ii. Demonstrates the suitability of the soils of the land to accommodate the
anticipated on -site sewage disposal systems.
7. That the Planning Advisory Committee grant a variance from the requirements of the
Zoning By -law that would reduce the required frontage of proposed Lots 1, 4, 5, 21, 22,
23, 28, 29, 39 and 40 to be a minimum of between approximately 30.25 metres and
58.28 metres, as generally illustrated on the submitted site plan, whereas the Zoning By-
law requires a minimum frontage of 60 metres.

8. That the Planning Advisory Committee approve "Water Lily Way ", "Wood Glade Court"
and "Forest Glen Court" as street names for the proposed subdivision.
DECISION HISTORY
Our files indicate that there is no development history for the subject properties.
ANALYSIS
Proposal
The applicants propose to develop a rural residential subdivision, in one or more phases,
consisting of approximately 44 unserviced lots. The subject site is zoned Rural Settlement
Residential (RS), and is located in the Treadwell Lake neighbourhood in East Saint John. The
subject site currently consists of six separate PIDs (excluding the future right -of -way), totaling
approximately 32 hectares in area.
The proposed "Treadwell Village Subdivision ", if approved, will be accessed by Ash Street in the
south - eastern portion of the site, and by Aspen Street in the north- western portion of the site
(see attached tentative subdivision plan).
The proposed subdivision includes five cul -de -sacs at various locations in the development.
There are two cul -de -sacs that extend off of the proposed "Water Lily Way ", which optimises the
use of the land in the midway section of the subdivision by providing access to four additional
lots. The termination point of Water Lily Way in the northern part of the development also ends
in a cul -de -sac, which is abutted by four proposed lots. The two cul -de -sacs in the southern
portion of the site are not blocked off by proposed lots as these roads are intended to be
extended at some point in the future to facilitate the continued development of the Treadwell
Lake Rural Settlement Area.
The tentative subdivision plan includes an approximate 2,205 square metre private access
(walkway) that extends from the eastern portion of the proposed new road, and continues
through the forested area to the edge of the property where it abuts Treadwell Lake. The
applicant has indicated that this is a feature of the proposed Treadwell Village Subdivision that
would be accessible to the residents of the neighbourhood to use as a scenic walking path,
offering a shared lookout over the lake. The City's Infrastructure Development Service has
indicated that it will be the responsibility of the developer to ensure that the necessary
agreements and /or easements are in place for the residents of the neighbourhood to utilise the
private access. The City will not be responsible for the design, construction or maintenance of
this site feature.
The tentative subdivision plan also includes a five -metre drainage easement illustrated along
the eastern property line of Lot 5. The drainage easement is a necessary feature of the
proposed subdivision to ensure water runoff is sustainably managed and does not negatively
impact any individual parcel.

Tim McCluskey & Brian Moreau Treadwell Village Subdivision (200 Ash Street) December 4, 2015
Site and Neighbourhood
The subject site is located in the rural part of East Saint John, approximately 700 metres north
of the Saint John Airport. The subject site is comprised of six long, narrow parcels that have a
total area of approximately 32 hectares. The proposed subdivision is bordered by Treadwell
Lake in the south - eastern portion area of the site, a large forested area to the north, and
approximately 12 single -unit dwellings abutting the western side of the site along Aspen Street.
The subject site is a large undeveloped area that varies between approximately 100 and 135
metres above sea level. The area subject to the current subdivision application is currently
accessed by Aspen Street to the north and Ash Street to the south. The developed area to the
west and south of the site is characterised by low density residential land uses, as well as Loch
Lomond Elementary School located at the corner of Evergreen Avenue and Loch Lomond
Road.
Municipal Plan
The subject site is primarily located in the Rural Settlement Area land use designation on
Schedule B of the City's Municipal Plan. (The portion of the site immediately adjacent to
Treadwell Lake is designated Park and Natural Areas.) The Rural Settlement Area land use
designation is designed to recognise historic rural communities in the east side and west side of
the City. The Plan identifies three rural communities as part of the Rural Settlement Areas,
which includes Martinon to Ketepec, Lorneville and Treadwell Lake. The majority of these
neighbourhoods were originally built as cottage areas, but have become predominantly year-
round residences in recent decades.
The Municipal Plan targets approximately 95% of residential growth over the next 20 years to be
located within the Primary Development Area, and approximately 5% of new residential growth
to be directed toward the Rural Settlement Areas. Growth in these latter areas is intended to be
low density residential development that will complement the character of the existing
communities. The modest amount of growth targeted for the Rural Settlement Areas is intended
"to support their continued vitality and to maximize existing investments in community
infrastructure ". New development is meant to be compatible with the surrounding community,
and leverage existing public investments, including schools, parks, community centres, and
municipal infrastructure.
The development of new roads in the rural areas of the City is generally not encouraged by the
Municipal Plan. However, Policy LU -93 states that Council shall "discourage new residential
roads in the Rural Areas except in areas designated Rural Settlement Area ". The proposed
development includes one long rural road with the proposed name "Water Lily Way ", as well as
two proposed cul -de -sacs: "Forest Glen Court" and "Wood Glade Court" and extensions of Ash
and Aspen Streets.
Page 5 of 10
72
Tim McCluskey & Brian Moreau Treadwell Village Subdivision (200 Ash Street) December 4, 2015
The applicants have indicated that the southern portion of the proposed subdivision will be
developed as part of the first phase of a multi - phased project. As such, the proposed extension
of Ash Street, as illustrated on the tentative subdivision plan, will occur as part of "Phase One ".
The applicants have also proposed an extension to Aspen Street, which is proposed to vest as
a "Future Street" beyond Water Lily Way, in order to provide access for future development. The
build out of the northern part of the subdivision, including the extension of Aspen Street, is
expected to occur in conjunction with later phases. Construction of the future street will be the
responsibility of the developer of the adjacent lands to the east of the subject site at the time
that area is subdivided and developed.
Variances
The proposed Treadwell Village Subdivision requires a variance from the standards of the
Zoning By -law to reduce the minimum required frontage of several lots to range between
approximately 30.25 metres and 58.28 metres, as illustrated on the attached tentative
subdivision plan, whereas the By -law requires a minimum of 60 metres,. The majority of the lots
that require a reduction to the minimum required frontage are located in the five cul -de -sacs.
When the frontage of these lots is measured from the required setback point of ten metres,
which was the standard under the previous By -law, the frontage is much closer to (or greater
than) 60 metres. Lot 4 and Lot 5 in the southern portion of the proposed subdivision illustrate a
proposed frontage of 46.15 metres and 49.51 metres respectively. Although the frontage of
these lots represents an approximate 20% reduction in the required minimum frontage, both of
these lots are large and have adequate area to preserve the character of a rural subdivision.
The issue of smaller frontages for lots on cul -de -sacs has been identified to be addressed in an
upcoming "housekeeping" amendment /update of the new Zoning By -law.
Subdivision
In addition to the variance required from the standards of the Zoning By -law, the proposed
Treadwell Village Subdivision requires the following variances from the City's Subdivision By-
law:
1. To permit four of the proposed lots to abut a lake, whereas the Subdivision By -law
requires a street or Land for Public Purposes along the shoreline.
2. To create two four -way intersections, whereas the Subdivision By -law permits only T-
intersections.
3. To allow the proposed "P "- shaped cul -de -sac turnaround at the end of Ash Street,
whereas the Subdivision By -law requires a cul -de -sac to be symmetrical about the
centreline or "reverse -P ".
4. To increase the maximum length for a cul -de -sac to approximately 400 metres where
Water Lily Way extends south of Ash Street, and to approximately 121 metres where
Ash Street extends eastward past Water Lily Way, whereas the Subdivision By -law
permits a maximum of 105 metres; and,
5. To reduce the required width of a residential street to approximately 20.12 metres,
whereas the Subdivision By -law requires a minimum width of 23.1 metres.
Page 6 of 10
73
Tim McCluskey & Brian Moreau Treadwell Village Subdivision (200 Ash Street) December 4, 2015
The City is currently undergoing the process of updating the existing Subdivision By -law, which
has been in place for over 30 years. The proposed new Subdivision By -law does not include the
requirement for T- intersections, nor does it preclude a lot from abutting a shoreline. As such, the
first two variances mentioned above can be supported. The third and fourth variances speak to
the need for traffic to flow safely through a cul -de -sac, which can be achieved through By -law
policies that regulate the design and length of the cul -de -sac. A cul -de -sac with the shape of a
backwards 'P' allows vehicles to follow the natural flow of traffic as they turn through the cul -de-
sac in a safe manner. Creating a maximum length of the cul -de -sac is another mechanism to
help limit traffic speed and increase safety.
However, a cul -de -sac designed in the shape of a `P' as proposed does not necessarily produce
an unsafe environment. A safe turning radius is provided in the proposed design. The applicant
does not own the adjacent land, and is therefore incapable of constructing a backwards `P'-
shaped or symmetrical turnaround area without moving the proposed extension of Ash Street to
the south, which is not recommended. In addition, with only one lot with frontage on this portion
of the proposed extension to Ash Street, it is anticipated that minimal traffic will occur in this
area.
Finally, the applicants are seeking a variance to reduce the required width of a rural road to
approximately 20.12 metres, whereas the Subdivision By -law requires a minimum width of 23.1
metres. The proposed variance is intended for the extended lengths of Aspen Street and Ash
Street prior to the intersections with Water Lily Way. The applicants are proposing to construct
the extension of Aspen Street and Ash Street with the same width that the existing streets
currently have, but will widen the right -of -ways after the intersections to ensure the By -law
standards are met.
Approval of the proposed variances is recommended, subject to several conditions that relate to
the need to develop the subdivision in accordance with the Public Health Act, the On -site
Sewage Disposal System Regulation, the Clean Water Act, and the Water Well Regulation.
These Provincially legislated controls are designed to maintain a high level of public safety, and
should be adhered to through every step of the development process. In addition, a condition
requiring a report from a geoscientist or an engineer that demonstrates the suitability and
sustainability of the soil and water supply in the subject area is also recommended, as this will
be a requirement under the new Subdivision By -law.
Land for Public Purposes (LPP)
As a prior condition of approval for a proposed subdivision, the Subdivision By -law requires 10%
of the area of a proposed subdivision in the rural areas of the City to be set aside as "Land for
Public Purposes" (LPP). The current applicant is proposing to submit money -in -lieu of LPP as
this area of the City includes the Loch Lomond School, which has an existing playground that
the community would have access to. In addition, the large lots sizes of the proposed
Page 7 of 10
74
Tim McCluskey & Brian Moreau Treadwell Village Subdivision (200 Ash Street) December 4, 2015
subdivision allow for onsite leisure spaces, which results in less need to create new public
spaces to meet this need.
The City's recreational master plan, "PlaySX, provides Council the direction to consider money -
in -lieu of LPP when possible as the City is currently well served with the existing inventory of
public parks and playgrounds. The Plan suggests that the quality of green spaces is more
important than the quantity. Therefore, money -in -lieu of LPP can be supported.
Street Names
In addition to the variances discussed above, the Treadwell Village Subdivision requires PAC
approval for "Water Lily Way" as a proposed new street name for the main street of the
subdivision, as well as "Forest Glen Court" and "Wood Glade Court ", which are short cul -de-
sacs off Water Lily Way. City staff have indicated that these names meet the NB911 guidelines
and are acceptable.
Conclusion
The applicants are seeking to subdivide six large lots on the City's east side to facilitate the
development of approximately 44 unserviced rural lots. The subject site is located in the
Treadwell Lake Rural Settlement Area on Schedule B of the City's Municipal Plan. This land use
designation recognises the long existing neighbourhoods in the City's rural areas, and allows for
a modest amount of growth over the course of the current Municipal Plan. Low density
residential development in these areas is meant to preserve the vitality of these communities,
and complement the existing character.
The proposed subdivision requires several variances from the standards of the Subdivision By-
law, as well as a variance from the zoning By -law. These variances can be supported as they
have no apparent negative repercussions on the surrounding community. Approval for the
proposed subdivision is recommended, subject to the conditions outlined in the report.
The recommendation provides for Common Council's assent to the plan with respect to the
internal street layout, as well as Council's authorization of the required municipal drainage
easement, acceptance of money in lieu of LPP, and authorization of the necessary
City /developer subdivision agreement(s).
ALTERNATIVES AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
No other alternate considerations are proposed for this application.

I have five major reasons why I must object to the variance
application submitted with regards to Aspen and Ash Street. Firstly,
environmental. This area contains portions that are low and boggy. Will
you be adding more flood problems? This area stores water — why pave
over more land? 44 more septic tanks in the Loch Lomond watershed does
not seem like a good idea.
Secondly, monetary. Why was all the time and money put into plan
SJ if it is to be ignored and further development in the hinterland of the city
to be considered? I believe there is plenty of vacant land closer to the city
core.
Thirdly, president has been set. Did you not already turn down a
nearby subdivision on Loch Lomond Road in the recent past?
Fourthly, infrastructure. The streets in the old part of the
neighborhood are far too narrow to support any further traffic. In this past
winter we went for months not being able to pass two cars on the streets.
You should drive down Evergreen, the old part of Hemlock, and the old part
of Ash before you consider adding more cars to this neighborhood. Loch
Lomond Road is far too busy, narrow, winding and poorly maintained.
Rush hour traffic often moves at a snail's pace when any moisture hits the
pavement. A 15 minute drive can turn to a 45 minute crawl to work. Into
this you want to add another 44, 88 or 132 cars?
Finally, school. Loch Lomond Elementary school may be seen as a
selling point to further development in this area. However, the truth is that
the school is full to the brim with children bussed in from further outside the
city. No room exists for future families within this neighborhood. Children
of families who would potentially purchase lots in this area face the
possibility of being bussed further into the city to attend other empty
schools.
Any one of these reasons should be enough to stop this
development. But all five together must make you pause to investigate
further before granting this application. I hope you come to the obvious
conclusion that this application should be denied.

Subject: Aspen Street and Ash Street - Addition to existing subdivision
Dear Sirs /Madams,
With growing concern for the health of our
existing lakes and waterways, do our city
planners really think that this proposal is
a good idea? With no sewerage system to
service the Loch Lomond Lakes area, this
proposed subdivision will flush much grey
water into the ground near
Treadwell /LochLomond Lakes - a major
water source for the city. Surely there are
large parcels of land closer to the city and
within
piping distance of Saint John's Brand
New sewerage control system!
This is one reason we oppose this sub-
division plan.
Our second concern is access to the area.
There are only two streets exiting to Loch
Lomond Road.Lakeside Drive 8s Evergreen
Ave.To enter or exit from Lakeside Drive
with the increasing traffic8vspeed along LL
Road, along with poor visibility because of
a curve/ dip at this junction, is almost
suicidal.
That leaves Evergreen Ave, a street
designed and built to service some homes
but mostly cottages built in the mid
nineteen hundreds.These narrow streets
were never built or upgraded to
accommodate the traffic created by the
1
87
existing homes,let alone a newly proposed
sub - division.
LOCH LOMOND ELEMENTARY School is
at the entrance of Evergreen Ave.If you
would like to see traffic snarls and
confusion, drop by some morning between
7:30 - 9:00 AM. and observe buses
coming and going; parents dropping off
children; residents of the area trying to
exit onto LL Road on their way to
work. When the school has a special
event, there can be as many as fifty cars
parked along both sides of Evergreen,
Hemlock, and carried over to LL Road!
Maybe the city planners should look at
alternative exits to this new proposal such
as the Cosy Lake Rd. to the west or
around Treadwell Lake to Johnston Rd on
the east.OR,talk to our provincial MLA's
and create a brand new access exit /entry
onto the Airport Arterial.
For these reasons, we are totally
opposed to this sub - division.

Your Worship and Councillors,
Can behalf of the East Coast Music Association's Board, its general members and
staff, I am writing to express my sincere appreciation to the City of Saint John for
its pledge of $125,000 in support of the ECMAs, which are confirmed to take
place in Saint John from April 19 -23, 2017.
The enthusiasm and professionalism of the local team spearheading the move to
attract the ECMAs to Saint John has been extremely impressive from the outset.
I am also confident that the city's first class amenities will ensure a successful
event and attract music enthusiasts from across Atlantic Canada and beyond to
enjoy this five -day celebration of East Coast talent.
The ECMA has been devoted to furthering the careers of Atlantic Canadian
musicians and industry professionals for the last 27 years. By doing so, we have
also helped build a regional and professional music industry in our corner of the
world, one that supports and develops the careers of both the artists and the
industry. We look forward to bringing the ECMAs to the city of Saint John.
Once again, thank you for supporting this dynamic and creative industry.
Sincerely,
Dea airs
