EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to inform Council of a Public Information Session that will be held in relation to the Ready Street — Watermain, Sanitary Sewer and Storm Sewer Installation Project, and to update Council on the status of the project. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION November 9, 2015 - 2016 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund Capital Program Approved. December 17, 2015 — 2016 General Fund Capital Program Approved. STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT This report aligns with Council's Priority for Sustainable Infrastructure. -2- REPORT The approved Water & Sewerage Utility Fund and General Fund Capital Programs include projects for the design and construction of Ready Street — Watermain, Sanitary Sewer and Storm Sewer Installation. Staff looks forward to the tender closing in late March, 2016. Construction is expected to begin in late April, 2016 and continue until October, 2016. This is a major project that will impact the local area during construction. It is for this reason that staff have decided to hold a Public Information Session to allow local residents and business owners an opportunity to view the project design drawings, ask questions and give their feedback. The Public Information Session will be held at the Church of the Good Sheppard at 668 Manawagonish Road on Tuesday, March 15th, 2016, from 2 -4 p.m. and 6 -8 p.m. This report is being provided for the information of Council and to extend an invitation to any Councillors who may wish to attend the Public Information Session. The Public Information Session will be advertised and a copy of the attached notice will be delivered door to door in the project area. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES The municipal infrastructure on this street is in poor condition and requires replacement. The renewal of the infrastructure will reduce the likelihood of future service disruptions to the local residents and businesses due to infrastructure failures.

This project is part of the City's ongoing commitment to continually improve its infrastructure.

AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner /Dept. Head City Manager David Russell Brian Keenan Jeff Trail RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the proposal from CBCL Limited for engineering design and construction management services for the Westgate Park Drainage Basin — Storm Sewer Improvements project in the amount of $164,754.00 including HST be accepted and that the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute the appropriate documentation in that regard. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to recommend that Council award the Engineering services for the Westgate Park Drainage Basin — Storm Sewer Improvements project to CBCL Limited. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION December 17, 2015; 2016 General Fund Capital Program Approved. This report aligns with Council's Priority for Sustainable Infrastructure. 12 -2- REPORT BACKGROUND The approved 2016 General Fund Capital Program includes a project for improvements to the Storm Sewer system in Westgate Park. The work involves the installation of a new trunk storm sewer, an upgraded storm drainage channel as well as new collector swales. A Request for Proposal (RFP) was advertised to engage an Engineering firm to carry out the following services for the above noted project: ♦ Part A — Site Surveys, Preliminary Investigation and Data Collection ♦ Part B — Preliminary Design, Cost Estimates and Design Report ♦ Part C— Conduct Public Consultation Process ♦ Part D — Detailed Design ♦ Part E — Tender Period Services, Materials Testing & Inspection, Red Books and Record Drawings ♦ Part F — Construction Management PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to make a recommendation for consulting engineering services for this project. ANALYSIS With a comprehensive terms of reference document developed by staff, a public call for proposals was made for consulting engineering services. The Request for Proposal (RFP) closed on February 18, 2016 with responses received from the following four consulting engineering companies: • Dillon Consulting Limited, Saint John, NB • Crandall Engineering Ltd., Saint John, NB • WSP Canada Inc., Moncton, NB • CBCL Limited, Saint John, NB A Review Committee consisting of staff from Materials Management and Transportation & Environment Services was formed to evaluate submissions. Each member completed an independent review of the submissions and a joint discussion was held to develop the final ranking of submissions. The Review Committee came to a conclusion on their recommendation, which follows later in the report. 13 am The evaluation process uses the expertise of a variety of staff from Purchasing and Engineering to ensure a thorough review of the various submissions. Care must be taken to ensure that the necessary level of effort and expertise is being directed to the various tasks involved in the work, while still ensuring that costs to be incurred are appropriate and controllable. It is for these reasons that cost, although very important, cannot be the sole nor most critical deciding factor in making the selection of a consulting engineering firm. The Committee was tasked with the role of reviewing each submission against the proposal evaluation criteria as defined in the proposal call document. These criteria consisted of the following: 1. Quality and Completeness — Does the proposal address all of the needs raised? Is the proposal presented in an organized and professional manner? 2. Consultant's Experience — Has the consultant demonstrated a level of expertise with the requirements of this project? 3. Experience of Employees / Sub - consultants — Has the consultant demonstrated a level of expertise for the employees of the company and sub consultants listed? 4. Methodology— Does the approach to the project outlined in the proposal address, in a realistic sense, attainable goals and is it in keeping with the City's expectations for the project? 5. Value Added — What additional information, technology, process or options has the consultant included in his proposal? Is there value added to the consultant's response for this additional information? 6. Cost — Cost will be a factor, however not the only factor to be considered. Is the price quoted in line with the City's estimate for the work and has it allowed for each aspect of the project to be adequately addressed? After careful, independent consideration of presentation, company experience, personnel and technical proposal, the Review Committee met to analyze the findings of each member. After completion of the "technical" evaluation, the financial proposals were opened and addressed. These had been submitted in separate, sealed envelopes. After due consideration, the Review Committee selected the submission of CBCL Limited as the best proposal based on an overall rating of the evaluation criteria - presentation, company experience, personnel, technical proposal and cost. The submission from CBCL Limited met all of the requirements of the proposal call, in a manner acceptable to the committee, and was the lowest cost of the submitted proposals. 14 -4- POLICY — ENGAGEMENT OF ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS The costs incurred by the consultant will be paid in accordance with the terms of the Request For Proposal at the rates submitted and accepted in the consultants proposal not to exceed the Recommended Minimum Hourly Rates as contained in The Association of Consulting Engineering Companies — New Brunswick fee guideline. The Construction Management component of this project fee is based on an estimated 15 week construction period. The final fee will be calculated based on the actual construction management period. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES The proposed cost of work from CBCL Limited to provide engineering design and construction management services for this project is $164,754.00 including HST. This cost is based on an estimated 15 week construction management period. An amount of $1,170,000 is included in the 2016 General Fund Capital Program for engineering design, construction management, and construction services for this project. Engineering fees to cover the costs of design and construction management generally do not exceed 15 -20% of the total overall project cost, depending on the nature of the project and the engineering services required. This upset fee is approximately 14.1% of the total overall project cost, which is considered appropriate for this type of work. INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS Materials Management facilitated the RFP process to solicit proposals from Engineering Consultants for the Westgate Park Drainage Basin — Storm Sewer Improvements Project. The committee was tasked with the role of reviewing each submission against the proposal evaluation criteria as defined in the proposal call document. In accordance with the City's policies and procedures, separate assessments of the technical and financial aspects of the submissions were undertaken by the evaluation committee members. The above process is in accordance with the City's Procurement Policy and Materials Management support the recommendation being put forth. r_- rr►r_- r�: ru�x� r�� N/a 15 Q , ifjio K\ COUNCIL REPORT M &C No. 2016 -43 Report Date February 23, 2016 Meeting Date March 07, 2016 Service Area Transportation and Environment Services His Worship Mayor Mel Norton and Members of Common Council SUBJECT: Engineering Inspection Services 2016 OPEN OR CLOSED SESSION This matter is to be discussed in open session of Common Council. AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner /Dept. Head City Manager Joel Landers Brian Keenan Jeff Trail RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Common Council authorize staff to establish supply agreements with the six consulting firms noted below, at the hourly rates provided in this report totaling $680,000 plus HST for the provision of engineering inspection services for 2016 Capital Program projects. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to have Common Council authorize staff to establish supply agreements totaling $680,000 plus HST for the provision of engineering inspection services PREVIOUS RESOLUTION November 9, 2015 - 2016 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund Capital Program Approved. December 17, 2015 — 2016 General Fund Capital Program Approved. STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT This report aligns with Council's Priority for Sustainable Infrastructure. 16 sa REPORT Common Council has approved the 2016 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund Capital Program consisting of 34 projects totaling $10,055,000 and the 2016 General Fund (Storm & Transportation) Capital Program consisting of 27 projects totaling $13,900,000. A portion of the projects in the 2016 Capital Programs are being designed "in- house" and will require engineering inspection services during construction. There will be a requirement to provide engineering inspection for approximately 27 "in- house" designed projects during the 2016 construction season. In order to ensure that adequate engineering inspection resources are available to the City for the approved Capital Program projects, staff have issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for engineering inspection services. The RFP was issued to eight local consulting firms that have the appropriate resources on staff capable of providing engineering inspection services on municipal type projects. Six firms have submitted proposals in response to the RFP, providing resumes for inspection resources including hourly rates. The six firms that replied were: • Crandall Engineering Ltd. • CBCL Limited • Dillon Consulting Limited • GEMTEC Limited • WSP Canada Inc. • Stantec Consulting Ltd. No single firm has the resources in place to provide all the required engineering inspection services. The hourly rates submitted by the consultants with their proposals were similar so staff averaged the rates and established one hourly rate for each of the three levels of inspectors — Junior, Intermediate and Senior — as follows: Junior Inspector - $72 Intermediate Inspector - $82 Senior Inspector - $93 The hourly rates include all miscellaneous expenses (car, cellular telephone, digital camera, etc.) and do not include H.S.T. All six engineering firms have confirmed they are in agreement with the above rates. The City will determine the appropriate level of inspector required for a given project and then request the engineering inspection services from the six consulting firms on a rotational basis. 17 -3- SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES The total overall cost for engineering inspection services for 2016 is difficult to predict as there are a number of variables; most significant of which is how many contractors and the number of construction crews that will be working at a given time period. Staff has estimated the overall value of the engineering inspection services for 2016 to be approximately $680,000 plus 13% H.S.T. Funds to cover the cost of the engineering inspection service are included in the approved 2016 Capital Program project budgets. INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS The Request for Proposal document and this report have been reviewed with the City's Materials Management Department and they support the recommendation being put forth.

Box 1971 15 Market Square Saint John, NB E21- 41-1 Your Worship: IMAC 0 1 2016 I am writing in reply to the Saint John Common Council's resolution, passed on December 7, 2015, requesting the repeal of An Act to Comply with the Request of the City of Saint John on Taxation of the LNG Terminal. This legislation was enacted in 2006 as a result of the formal request by the City of Saint John to the Government of New Brunswick. Given the formal request from the municipality to repeal the legislation, the government must give it appropriate consideration. would note that community funding decisions are made on or before November 30 each year; therefore any change with respect to this legislation would take effect for the 2017 taxation year as your resolution was adopted too late to take effect in 2016. Part of our due diligence in considering this request is seeking assurance that all aspects, including any potential legal ramifications, of this matter that could impact the Province or the City have been considered. The City should also consider the potential financial ramifications; any increase in property tax base resulting from a repeal could result in a negative offset of the City's share of the Community Funding and Equalization Grant per the formula adopted in 2012.

As a follow -up to the letter sent on Budget day, I would like to highlight some of the key points from our estimates that affect local governments. For example, Community Funding and Equalization Grant core funding was increased by $285,000 and municipal transfers will be maintained at their current levels, as committed to, for the balance of this mandate. In addition, Government remains committed to the modernization of local government including the modernization of legislation, in particular the Municipalities Act and the Community Planning act, to give municipalities powers to promote development and become hubs of job creation. We will also continue to work with communities that express interest in studying voluntary restructuring options that will strengthen their capacity and sustainability for the long term. In these restructuring processes we will start using the 'Finn criteria' which is a minimum population of at least 4,000 or a tax base of at least $200 million while allowing limited exceptions given geographic, linguistic, and other realities. We will also increase the support provided to the local volunteers involved in community restructuring and we will be looking at ways to use existing infrastructure programs to support these efforts. We will also be asking the Regional Service Commissions to play a role in these restructuring processes. Reforming local governance is a complex process. We will continue to work collaboratively with our stakeholders as we move forward on these and other initiatives. Sincerely, Hon.

Over the course of 2 days (April 29th and 30th), our 2016 Sustainability Summit will host 80 students and 20 teachers from across NB. It will bring together a diverse panel of NBers who have built careers related to energy, sustainability and the environment to dialogue with these students. This year's Summit will be taking place in Fredericton and is comprised of schools from all corners of the province. Out of the 20 French and English schools participating, four are from the Saint John area. Simonds High School, Harbour View High School, St. Malachy's Memorial High School and Fundy High School have each committed to bringing four students and one teacher to represent youth from the Saint John region. In order to make this initiative a reality for all schools participating, The Gaia Project hopes to cover cost for meals, travel, accommodations and supply teaching. We aim to make this a free event for every participant. The Gaia Project would like to invite The City of Saint John to be a sponsor of the 2016 Sustainability Summit. Enclosed is a sponsorship information package outlining a variety of fiscal opportunities. Ideally we'd love to see the Saint John area schools .supported through The City of Saint John in which case you would be considered a presenting partner for the event alongside other notable New Brunswick organizations such as NB Power and Department of Energy and Mines.

From: Richard a. Fournier [ma i Ito: rafournier_0223 @yahoo.ca] Sent: February -29 -16 12:45 PM To: External - CommonClerk Subject: AMENDING CITY ANIMAL BYLAW 101 Courtenay Ave February 291h 2016 Saint John NB MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL The purpose of this letter is to urge common council to reintroduce CATS to the animal bylaw which was amended back in 2012. The reason being that the cat population in Saint John and the rest of the country has exploded and has reached a serious if not epidemic detriment to the world bird population, a loss exceeding 200 million annually. This issue has been ongoing for me since 2011. 1 have spoken to my Councillor and other departments i.e.: the city by law enforcement, SPCA animal control and have yet to received a positive response to resolve my concerns. According to Saint John SPCA Department they are against the bylaw being amended to reinstating cats to the list as this would again put in place euthanizing large numbers of cats annually they have and want a no kill policy. They also have a very restrictive policy of accepting cats at their shelter due to lack of space to accommodate them unless they are severely injured. This leaves citizens like me totally helpless in dealing with the large numbers of cats on and near my property and watch helplessly has birds continue to be decimated.) would applaud the city of Saint John if it again reintroduced cats to the animal bylaw making it illegal for them to run at large. In doing so they could also adopt a program to strongly deal with the exploding cat population in an effort to be proactive in conserving the bird population that has decreased over 60 percent in the past 30 to 40 yrs. It would be an excellent first move in protecting our environment and the bird population so treasured by citizens like myself. I know this move would be very unpopular ONLY among the irresponsible cats owners who ignore bylaws and refuse spay /neuter their animal and choose to let them roam at large. sincerely hope you will take my request into 33 consideration and not simply dismiss it as frivolous as I'm also aware of other important issues our city has to deal with. Yours truly, Richard A. Fournier z 34 NEW BxvivSWzCK Hl"stoTl'cal SOCIETY t;sr. 1874 February 24, 2016 The Honourable Mel Norton, Mayor of Saint John and Members of the Saint John City Council Dear Mayor Norton and Member of the City Council, The New Brunswick Historical Society, founded in 1874, purchased the Merritt family home on the corner of Union and Germain St. in 1959. The house underwent improvements, essentially a thorough cleaning, new wallpaper applied and the exterior was painted all with the intent to bring it back to its former glory. The Georgian home became designated a National Historic Site and was officially opened by the Governor General of the day, His Honourable Georges Vanier and his wife Pauline. Built for and lived in by seven generations of the Merritt family, the 200 year old, white Georgian house on the hill has survived the Great Fire of Saint John, modern construction nearby and the wear and tear of nature. Today the exterior of the building is drawing negative attention due to its appearance, the most obvious of which is the need for painting. What is not obvious is the need to replace rotted wood on the exterior, replacement of drain pipes, entrance doorway and refurbishment of windows due to rot, repointing of brick on the chimneys and roof repairs. We have done a lot of work which cannot be seen and therefore unappreciated by the public —new electrical wiring, foundation masonry walls restored, new ventilation and heating ducts, new furnace and the list goes on. We wish to thank the city and the province for grants that have helped in our daily operation and funding that has allowed us to do the work completed thus far. We need more help to complete the restoration of this important iconic landmark. We are working with Barry Ogden who has raised over $250,000 in gifts in kind and cash for the refurbishment of Loyalist House for this May. Before this the estimates well exceeded this total and the timeframe was between five and ten years. All of the work will be done in May or beforehand. Irving Oil Limited has been the major contributor and various local contractors and skilled tradespeople are also contributing their services due to their belief in our community and this project. May is a very important month as it is the Anniversary of the first fleets of the 100,000 American exiled Loyalist refugees. These people were tradespeople, labourers, farmers and soldiers with large families. Those first winters of 1783 and 1784 were very harsh with people sleeping in tents and which resulted in the deaths of many children and adults. 15,000 carne into the Bay of Fundy and Saint John Harbour during those years.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Bank of Nova Scotia requires certain resolution to be passed by Common Council annually to formalize the line of credit with the City. These resolutions were last updated by Common Council at its meeting of February 2, 2015. At this time, there is a need to provide the bank with updated resolutions. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION M &C — 2015 -007 — Borrowing Resolutions STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT Describe how this report aligns with corporate strategies /Council priorities. 39 am REPORT The City has credit facilities with the Bank of Nova Scotia in the amount of $21,000,000. This amount represents $6,000,000 for general operating purposes and $15,000,000 for bridge financing on capital expenditures. The calculation of the line of credit for operating purposes is outlined in the Municipalities Act and is set at a maximum of 4% of the operating budget. Based on the City's 2016 operating budget the maximum the City could borrow for operating purposes is $6,061,687. It is proposed to maintain with the bank an operating line of credit of $6,000,000. With respect to the bridge financing for capital expenditures, it is proposed to maintain the current credit level of $15,000,000, not to exceed $25,000,000. It is unlikely that actual borrowings will reach these combined levels; the credit facility is in place as a precautionary measure. The City has not drawn from these credit facilities for operating or capital purposes since 2013. In 2013 bridge financing was used to bridge the cash flow of the Harbour Cleanup project.

The Committee considered the attached report at its February 16, 2016 meeting. Pat Rocca, on behalf of Second Venture Ltd., appeared before the Committee and expressed agreement with the Staff recommendation. Andrea Snow, resident of 156 Queen Street, appeared before the Committee and expressed opposition to the application as the use of the subject site as a parking lot has posed a risk to her property. Cars parked on the site have damaged her fence, and a derelict vehicle caught fire on the site leading to the evacuation of her home. Pat Rocca responded to her comments by agreeing to provide a 3 metre landscaped buffer planted with trees to better separate the parking area from her property. Andrea Snow agreed that a landscaped buffer would be an improvement, and it would help to reduce the impact of the proposed parking area on her property. No other persons appeared before the Committee. One letter from Andrea Snow and Vicki Doyle was received regarding the application. After considering the report, the letter and the comments, the Committee adopted an amended recommendation to rezone the property. The Committee amended the recommendation to include a Section 39 condition requiring the 3 metre landscaped buffer to include appropriate trees, shrubs, or a combination thereof. Page 1 of 2 79 Second Venture Ltd. 150 Queen Street February 19, 2016 RECOMMENDATION: That Common Council rezone a parcel of land with an area of approximately 363 square metres, located at 150 Queen Street, also identified as PID 00003426 from Urban Centre Residential (RC) to Mixed Commercial (CM). 2. That, pursuant to Section 39 of the Community Planning Act, the development and use of the parcel of land with an area of approximately 363 square metres, located at 150 Queen Street, also identified as PID 00003426, shall be subject to a condition requiring the preparation of a detailed site plan illustrating side yard landscaping adjacent to 156 Queen Street that includes appropriate trees, shrubs, or a combination thereof, to be prepared by the applicant and subject to the approval of the Development Officer, which shall be attached to the change of use permit. Respectfully submitted, Eric Falkjar Chair Attachments Page 2 of 2 :1 - E:'A:] The City of Saint John Date: February 12, 2016 To: Planning Advisory Committee From: Community Planning & Development Growth & Community Development Services For: Meeting of Tuesday, February 16, 2016 SUBJECT Applicant: Owner: Location: PID: Plan Designation: Existing Zoning: Proposed Zoning: Application Type: Jurisdiction: Second Venture Ltd. Second Venture Ltd. 150 Queen Street 00003426 Medium to High Density Residential Urban Centre Residential (RC) Mixed Commercial (CM) Rezoning & Variance The Community Planning Act authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to give its views to Common Council concerning proposed amendments to the Zoning By -law. Common Council will consider the Committee recommendation at a public hearing on Monday, March 7, 2016. The Community Planning Act authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to grant reasonable variances from the requirements of the Zoning By -law. The Committee can impose conditions. Page 1 of 5 Second Venture Ltd. 150 Queen Street February 12, 2016 SUMMARY The applicant proposes to rezone the subject site from Urban Centre Residential (RC) to Mixed Commercial (CM) to permit its continued use as a parking area that is accessory to the adjacent mixed -use property. The site has been used as a parking area for several years; however, the applicant never applied to rezone the site to permit the use. Staff support the rezoning application as the Municipal Plan permits mixed -use development in the area, and because the parking spaces are necessary to support the tenants of the adjacent mixed -use building. The applicant also proposes a variance to reduce the required side yard landscaping abutting a residential zone from 3 metres to 1.2 metres. This proposed variance cannot be supported as the property is large enough to accommodate the required landscaping, and the landscaping would provide a visual buffer between the parking area and the neighbouring residential property. RECOMMENDATION 1. That Common Council rezone a parcel of land with an area of approximately 363 square metres, located at 150 Queen Street, also identified as PID 00003426 from Urban Centre Residential (RC) to Mixed Commercial (CM). 2. That the Planning Advisory Committee deny the requested variance to reduce the required side yard landscaping from 3 metres to approximately 1.2 metres. DECISION HISTORY There are no previous planning applications or decisions for the subject property relevant to this application. ANALYSIS Proposal The applicant proposes to rezone the subject site from Urban Centre Residential (RC) to Mixed Commercial (CM) to permit the continued use of the site for parking that is accessory to the mixed -use building on the adjacent property. The applicant proposes to develop the parking area with a paved surface, painted lines, side and front yard landscaping, and cast -in -place concrete curbs. Saint John Water is in the process of investigating the condition of an existing sanitary sewer that runs beneath the subject site. If they discover that the sewer is not in use then Saint John Water may abandon it; otherwise, the proposed site work will need to be undertaken in a manner that accommodates access to the sewer. The applicant has requested a variance from the Zoning By -law requirement to develop side yard landscaping abutting a residential property at a depth of 3 metres. Instead, the applicant proposes to develop side yard landscaping at a depth of approximately 1.2 metres. Page 2 of 5 Second Venture Ltd. 150 Queen Street February 12, 2016 Site and Neighbourhood The subject site is located in the City's south end peninsula, a predominantly residential neighbourhood. A residential building was located on the site until 2009, at which time the building was demolished and the parking area established. However, the site was never rezoned to permit its use in conjunction with the adjacent land. The subject site is contiguous with an existing paved parking area on the adjacent site. Tenants of the adjacent mixed -use building use the parking spaces on the subject site. The tenants include a self - storage facility, several business offices, an instructional service, a communication facility, a community centre, and a household contractor service. Approximately 38 parking spaces are required for the building and only 23 are available. There are too few parking spaces to meet the needs of the tenants, as the property was originally developed to accommodate light industrial uses, which require fewer parking spaces. More recently, a greater variety of uses, including several commercial uses, has been established on the site. Therefore, the applicant acquired the subject site to meet the tenants' parking needs. Municipal Plan and Rezoning The subject site is designated Medium to High Density Residential in the Municipal Plan. The site designation is intended to primarily accommodate higher density housing forms, but it may also accommodate mixed -use development that includes community facilities and appropriate retail and office uses like those found in the mixed -use building located on the adjacent site. The current zoning of the site, Urban Centre Residential (RC), accommodates a wide range of urban residential development. The proposed zone, Mixed Commercial (CM) is consistent with the zone of the adjacent property. The proposed rezoning would allow the subject site to be used as an accessory parking lot to support the adjacent mixed -use building. The proposed rezoning is appropriate given the designation of the site, and it would provide parking spaces to support the existing tenants of the neighbouring building. If the adjacent mixed -use building were developed today, the Zoning By -law would require significantly more parking spaces than are currently provided on the site. An analysis of the building and tenants has revealed that at least 38 parking spaces would be required and currently, there are only 23 parking spaces on the site. If the rezoning application is successful, there will be 33 parking spaces on the site. Variances The applicant proposes to develop the parking area with 1.2 metres of side yard landscaping, whereas the Zoning By -law requires a minimum of 3 metres of side yard landscaping adjacent to a residential property. This requirement is intended to provide a buffer between parking areas and residential properties to limit the negative visual impact of the use. A 3 metre landscaped buffer would improve the transition between residential properties the large mixed -use property. The proposed reduction in side yard landscaping cannot be supported for the stated reasons and because the property is large enough for the full 3 metre buffer to be provided without Page 3 of 5 Second Venture Ltd. 150 Queen Street February 12, 2016 affecting the number of parking spaces that can be accommodated. Therefore, staff do not recommend that the standard be reduced. Conclusion Staff support the proposed rezoning of the subject site from Urban Centre Residential (RC) to Mixed Commercial (CM) to allow for the continued use of the site as an accessory parking area. If approved, the parking lot would provide accessory parking to the tenants of the adjacent mixed -use building. The Municipal Plan permits mixed -use development in the Medium to High Density Residential designation. Furthermore, if the adjacent mixed -use building were developed today, the Zoning By -law would require more parking spaces for the tenants than are currently available. Staff do not recommend approval of the proposed variance to reduce the required side yard landscaping abutting a residential zone from 3 metres to 1.2 metres. The site is large enough for the 3 metres of required landscaping to be provided and the landscaping would improve the appearance of the parking area from the perspective of the adjacent residential property. ALTERNATIVES AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS 1. That Common Council rezone a parcel of land with an area of approximately 363 square metres, located at 150 Queen Street, also identified as PID 00003426 from Urban Centre Residential (RC) to Mixed Commercial (CM). 2. That the Planning Advisory Committee approve the requested variance to reduce the required side yard landscaping from 3 metres to approximately 1.2 metres. ENGAGEMENT Public In accordance with the Committee's Rules of Procedure, notification of the proposal was sent to landowners within 100 metres of the subject property on January 27, 2016. The public hearing for the rezoning was advertised in the Telegraph - Journal on February 11, 2016.

As home owners of the adjacent lot (156) we are greatly- affected by this outcome. First and foremost the ideal scenario for us, our neighbourhood, and our city as a whole, would be for it to remain as a residential lot and a dwelling be built on it asap. This block is already being or ertaken by commercial land and parking lots. The existing CM zoned property surrounding us is questionable as 1 do not see any "vehicle repair garage" or `warehouse facilities" in the list of uses allowed in a Mixed Commercial Zone. The empty lot has been currently illegally used as a parking lot for these two business. Derelict vehicles from St.James Auto have been an eyesore since the building at 150 was torn down. Not to mention one of such vehicles caught fire last year right next to our home and we had to evacuate, We have been having ongoing issues with the large moving trucks which park there. Twice they have backed into our fence causing damage. Very large transport trucks run all night behind our home which we can hear from inside. Based on your description of "mixed commercial" it doesn't sound like any of these businesses should be allowed in this zone. Please correct me if I am wrong. If the proposal is approved, I have a few questions regarding the allowable uses and restriCtiOris: I)Wiil St. James auto be able to use the parking spaces for derelict vehicles, even though this business should not exist in the current CM zone? 2) Some question regarding warehouse moving trucks? 3) 1 do not see any trees or shrubs in the proposed re- zoning drawing, although zoning bylaw 6.2 (c) L states that one tree for every 45 square metres are required. Will this be enforced? Qif the lot remains residential will the city enforce parking restrictions or allow it to be used for junk can as they have been for the last 6 years? As for the variance to reduce side yard landscaping, we as adjacent home owners strongly object to this request. The 3 metre buffer is in the zoning bylaw for a reason. Especially if the transport trucks are going to be permitted to continue to use the parking lot. The following by -law seems to state that a parking lot can not be built within 3m of residential zone. Does the term parking lot in this case include the 3 metre `landscaped buffer'? 4.2(5) PARKING LOT STANDARDS (i) A parking lot shall not be provided in any landscaped area required by part 6 or within: (i) three metres of a side and rear lot line if the abutting lot is located in a Residential zone and does not contain or permit a commercial use as defined by the subsection 4.1(2)-, Sincerely, Andrea Snow and Vicki Doyle ., 95 BY -LAW NUMBER C.P.111- A LAW TO AMEND THE ZONING BY -LAW OF THE CITY OF SAINT JOHN ARRETE No C.P. 111 - ARRETE MODIFIANT L'ARRETE DE ZONAGE DE THE CITY OF SAINT JOHN Be it enacted by The City of Saint Lors dune reunion du conseil John in Common Council convened, as communal, The City of Saint John a follows: The Zoning By -law of The City of Saint John enacted on the fifteenth day of December, A.D. 2014, is amended by: 1 Amending Schedule A, the Zoning Map of The City of Saint John, by re- zoning a parcel of land having an area of approximately 363 square metres, located at 150 Queen Street, also identified as PID No. 00003426, from Urban Centre Residential (RC) to Mixed Commercial (CM) - all as shown on the plan attached hereto and forming part of this by -law.

It was stated by staff that a lot of money would be needed to bring the structure up to code. It has come to my attention that a number of the items that staff cited as part of these cost were already completed at taxpayers' expense. I have received a couple reports, de Stecher Appraisals dated Jan 1, 2007 and Jacques Whitford Ltd dated Oct 11, 2007, concerning the needed repairs for the Reversing Falls Restaurant that also state these needed repairs. In this latter report it states the cost of these repairs and when some of the recommended repairs were already carried out. When I was trying to find someone to operate the Falls Restaurant last spring /summer it was also stated by City representatives that the restaurant also had ongoing structural problems. I would like to find out how these variances in reports to Council happened. Motion: The City Manager report back to Council stating, after spending the public's money, how these different reports and city representatives public statements to bring items up to code ended up with a recommendation to Council to tear down the Reversing Falls Restaurant. Further, I also ask that this report be brought back to Council for our first meeting in April so Council will have the report before the May election.

AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner /Dept. Head City Manager Holly Young Brian Keenan / Jacqueline Hamilton Jeff Trail RECOMMENDATION That Common Council adopt as a policy, the 2016 Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual ( SDDCM) provides a clear set of standards for design of storm drainage systems by consultants, developers and City staff. The Manual, which was first adopted by Council in 2008, has been used as a guide and applied to subdivisions of two parcels or greater; site design in support of building permit applications for multi - family residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial developments; and, design of storm drainage infrastructure to be owned and maintained by the City of Saint John. The SDDCM has been used to guide the introduction of the City's proposed new Drainage By -law. A revised manual has been attached to this report. The Submission Requirements have been revised and made clearer. In all other respects the SDDCM remains unchanged. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION Adopt, as a policy of the City of the City of Saint John, the Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual developed for the City by Terrain Group; and ask the appropriate staff to bring forward proposed changes to related by -laws to ensure the provisions of those by -laws align with this policy. 103 -2- STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT In accordance with PlanSJ, require the management of stormwater in accordance with the Storm Drainage Design Criteria Design Manual through appropriate Bylaws, policies and procedures; and require developers to prepare and implement properly engineered drainage plans and individual lot grading plans for all new development. REPORT The City's existing Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual was previously adopted by Council in 2008. As part of the One Stop Development Shop's customer focus for predictability and clarity, the Drainage Manual has been revised and better organized to provide clearer submission requirements for applicants for drainage designs. These submission standards are current industry practice and are already familiar requirements for stakeholders. The intent of the revisions is not to add new requirements but rather to make submission requirements consistent for all stakeholders during the submission process. The provisions of the proposed new Drainage By -law that is before Council under a separate report align with this revised policy. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES Service for the stakeholder will be improved as clearer submission requirements will more simply define what is required of the applicant. There is no added cost to the applicant as this revision was made to provide clarity only. INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS The City's Infrastructure Development Service has prepared the revised Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual Submission Requirements. The Legal Department and Transportation and Environment Services have reviewed the attached document. Iiir[�:IuI�Pj�� 1.

Consultants and City staff shall complete their storm drainage designs in accordance with this Manual. This Manual shall apply, but not be limited, to: subdivisions of two parcels or greater; site design in support of building permit applications for multi - family residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial developments; and, design of storm drainage infrastructure to be owned and maintained by the City of Saint John. March 7, 2016 Page 3 114 City of Saint John 2 STORM DRAINAGE SYSTEM 2.1 General Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual A storm drainage system is a system receiving, conveying, and controlling discharges in response to precipitation and snow melt. Such systems consist of: ditches, culverts, swales, subsurface interceptor drains, roadways, curb and gutters, catchbasins, manholes, pipes, detention ponds, and storm drainage service laterals. The Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual illustrates the more common aspects encountered in the design of storm drainage systems. All storm drainage systems within the City of Saint John shall be designed to achieve the following objectives: • to prevent loss of life and to protect structures and property from damage due to flood events; • to provide safe and convenient use of streets, lot areas, and other improvements during and following precipitation and snow melt events; • to adequately convey stormwater runoff from upstream sources; • to mitigate the adverse effects of stormwater runoff, such as flooding and erosion, on downstream properties; • to preserve designated watercourses and natural designated wetlands; and • to minimize the long -term effects of development on the receiving surface water and groundwater regimes from both a quantity and quality perspective. In the City of Saint John, storm drainage systems are typically owned, operated, and maintained by either the City, the New Brunswick Department of Transportation, private landowners, or a combination of all three. Complete documentation of all parameters relating to the design and construction of storm drainage systems is beyond the scope of this manual. This manual defines the parameters of greatest importance and presents the policies and accepted methods of the City. The design of storm drainage systems, when submitted to the City, must bear the seal, signed and dated, of a Professional Engineer licensed, or registered to practice, with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of New Brunswick. This document is not intended to eliminate the necessity for detailed design by a Professional Engineer, rather it is intended to standardize the materials, design criteria, and method of construction to be utilized in the installation of storm drainage systems. Where, in the judgement of the Consultant, variations from this document are justified or required, and where the Consultant can show that alternate approaches can produce the desired results, such approaches will be considered for approval by the Engineer. In considering requests for variations from these design criteria, the Consultant shall take into consideration such factors as: safety, nuisance, system maintenance, operational costs, life cycle costs, environmental issues, and natural topography. Designs will be accompanied by statements of certification by the Consultant to the effect that designs have been completed in accordance with these guidelines. Where the Consultant uses standards other than those outlined in this document, they shall clearly indicate in all appropriate documents and plans those areas of difference. The acceptance by the City of Saint John of the design of proposed storm drainage systems shall not relieve the Consultant of the responsibility for proper design, and hence the Consultant will retain full responsibility and liability for their design. Like other municipal services, storm drainage systems must be carefully designed, reviewed, and approved prior to construction. In addition to these design criteria, all storm drainage systems shall conform to any requirements established by the New Brunswick Department of Environment (NBDOE). No system shall be constructed until the design has been reviewed and approved by the City and by NBDOE, as applicable. March 7, 2016 Page 4 115 City of Saint John Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual Proposed storm drainage works must be based on sound engineering design. For stormwater design work, this often requires good quality hydrologic and hydraulic modeling. Stormwater modeling can be divided into two basic fields: Hydrology, which is the study of runoff produced from rainfall and /or snowmelt, and the factors which influence it, and Hydraulics, which is the study of water flow in the channels, pipes, streams, ponds, and rivers which convey it to the sea. In each field, there are many techniques available for performing the required analysis. A qualified Professional Engineer is required to choose the best method for each situation. 2.2 Design Approach 2.2.1. Storm Drainage System Types Developments shall be serviced by a dual drainage system consisting of both a minor storm drainage system (piped system) and a major storm drainage system (overland system). 2.2.2. Dual Storm Drainage System Design The design of the dual storm drainage system, comprising the minor system and the major system, shall be carried out such that no proposed or existing structure be damaged by the runoff generated by any storm up to the 1 in 100 year return period storm. This requires proper care in the design of streets, curb and gutters, catchbasins, pipes, open channels, grading of lots and road profiles, setting of elevations or openings into buildings, foundation drains, roof drains, or other off - street connections. In the event that the Consultant identifies an existing structure that may be negatively impacted by the runoff generated by any storm up to the 1 in 100 year return period storm, the Consultant shall notify the Engineer so that the situation may be reviewed and resolved to the satisfaction of the Engineer on an individual basis. It is the responsibility of the Developer and /or Consultant to ensure that the proposed development does not create a downstream flooding problem, or aggravate an existing downstream flooding problem (refer to 2.2.5 for extent of analysis). When adequate downstream capacity does not exist, one possible option is to upgrade downstream infrastructure. Alternatively, the Developer and /or Consultant may reduce peak flow through the use of storage, and a "zero- increase" covenant may be implemented that will limit post - development peak discharge to the existing pre - development peak discharge. In following this alternate approach, it is the responsibility of the Developer and /or Consultant to exercise innovative engineering design, including various methods of on -site storage, to mitigate the detrimental effects of their development by any storm up to the 1 in 100 year return period storm. 2.2.2.1. Minor Storm Drainage System The minor storm drainage system shall be designed to convey stormwater runoff generated by the 1 in 5 year return period storm, thereby providing safe and convenient use of streets, lot areas, and other areas. The minor storm drainage system shall consist of: swales, subsurface interceptor drains, curb and gutters, culverts, catchbasins, manholes, pipes or conduits and service lateral lines in those areas where a piped storm drainage system is required. March 7, 2016 Page 5 116 City of Saint John Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual 2.2.2.2. Major Storm Drainage System The major storm drainage system shall be designed to convey stormwater runoff generated by the 1 in 100 year return period storm, thereby preventing loss of life and protecting structures and property from damage. The capacity of the major storm drainage system shall be adequate to carry the discharge from a 1 in 100 year return period storm when the capacity of the minor storm drainage system is exceeded. The major storm drainage system shall consist of: ditches, open drainage channels, swales, roadways, detention ponds, culverts for watercourses, watercourses, floodplains, canals, ravines, gullies, springs, and creeks. 2.2.3. Travelled Way Drainage For storms up to and including the 1 in 5 year return period storm, the drainage design shall provide for a travelled way of adequate width such that safe passage of all vehicles in both directions for all road classifications is maintained. For storms up to and including the 1 in 100 year return period storm, the drainage design shall meet the requirement that the depth and spread of flow does not exceed the curb height and does not exceed the right -of -way width for residential streets and local collector streets. In addition to the above criteria, for storm events up to and including the 1 in 100 year return period storm, the drainage design shall provide for a travelled way of adequate width such that safe passage of vehicles in both directions for major collector streets and arterial streets is maintained. 2.2.4. Storm Drainage System Outfall The dual storm drainage system shall be extended to discharge to an existing downstream storm drainage system, or a watercourse. 2.2.5. Existing Storm Drainage System Outfall The downstream storm drainage system shall have adequate capacity to capture and convey discharge from the proposed storm drainage system in addition to its own base flow rate of discharge. Any adverse impact, such as flooding or erosion as a result of the combined rate of discharge, on the downstream storm drainage system shall be investigated by the Consultant. Such investigation shall be carried out from the outfall location of the proposed storm drainage system to a location in the downstream system where the peak rate of discharge from the proposed storm drainage system is 10% of the combined peak rate of discharge in the downstream system. The extent of any adverse impacts will be assessed by the Engineer based on this investigation. Depending upon the nature of any adverse impacts, the Engineer may require mitigative measures to be provided by the Consultant to the storm drainage system to prevent or alleviate such adverse impacts. 2.2.6. Basis of Design Design of the storm drainage system shall be based on the state of development anticipated to exist for both the subwatershed under design and upstream subwatersheds when both areas are completely developed in accordance with the land -use zoning in place at the time of design. March 7, 2016 Page 6 117 City of Saint John 2.2.7. Developed Areas Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual Except as indicated below in 2.2.8, design flows for residential, commercial, or industrial land uses (either existing or zoned as such for future development) shall be based on summer rainfall data and corresponding runoff coefficients for summer conditions. 2.2.8. Undeveloped Areas When the area under design includes a significant proportion of undeveloped land (existing and zoned to remain undeveloped), peak design flows shall be the largest of flows estimated for both winter and summer conditions. 2.2.9. Long Duration When the area under design requires calculation of flows for durations greater than 6 hours, design flows shall be the largest of the flows estimated for both winter and summer conditions. 2.2.10. Tailwater Conditions Where the area under design includes an outfall to a watercourse or open ocean, consideration shall be given to the maximum tailwater condition occurring during peak flood level of the watercourse, maximum high tide, and /or storm surge. In addition, where discharge is directed to water bodies affected by sea level, 0.5 m shall be added to the tailwater elevation to recognize the effects of climate change. 2.2.11. Desian Storm Duration Selection of the 2 -hour or 24 -hour design storm presence of storage facilities such that the storm performance of the hydraulic structures in th e considering this issue, it may be appropriate to duration. 2.3 Meteorological Data shall consider the time of concentration and duration is of sufficient length to examine the watershed including storage facilities. In utilize design storms longer than 24 hours in Rainfall data is used in a variety of forms including intensity- duration - frequency curves, synthetic design storms, historical design storms, and historical long -term rainfall records. Selection of the proper form depends upon the type of computational procedure to be used, contingent upon the type of problem to be solved and the level of analysis required. 2.3.1. Rainfall Intensity — Duration — Frequency Curve 2.3.2. Appendix D contains rainfall intensity — duration — frequency curves which are based on annual rainfall at the Saint John Environment Canada weather station. Additional detailed historical rainfall information is available through the Atlantic Climate Centre of Environment Canada. Synthetic Design Storm Advanced procedures for the design of storm drainage systems requires the input of rainfall hyetographs, which specify rainfall intensities for successive time increments during a storm event. For this purpose, it is standard to use both synthetic and historical design storms hyetographs. Synthetic design storm hyetographs are intended to represent some of the long term statistical properties of recorded rainfall. The Chicago type distribution shall be used to derive synthetic design storm hyetographs from rainfall intensity - duration - frequency curves. Appendix D presents 2 hour and 24 hour duration Chicago type distributions for the 1 in 5 year, and 1 in 100 year return periods. March 7, 2016 Page 7 118 City of Saint John 2.3.3. Historical Design Storm Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual In some instances the design of storm drainage systems requires the input of historical design storms for calibration of hydrologic and hydraulic models. Historical design storm hyetographs are intended to represent a specific recorded rainfall. Additional detailed historical rainfall information is available through the Atlantic Climate Centre of Environment Canada. 2.4 Runoff Methodology There are numerous techniques and models the Consultant may use in the determination of stormwater runoff. Selection of an appropriate method must be based on an understanding of the principles and assumptions underlying the method and of the problem under consideration. It is, therefore, essential that appropriate techniques and models be selected and used by experienced engineers. The following list of generally accepted runoff computational methods is provided by the City as a guide for the Consultant in selecting a runoff model. This listing is by no means to be considered as comprehensive or complete. Methods other than those listed below may be considered if their use is justified by the Consultant and approved by the Engineer. Results may need to be verified by a second method, or calibration based on flow measurement. 2.4.1. The Rational Method The Rational Method is the most widely used empirical equation for predicting instantaneous peak discharge from a small subwatershed. The peak discharge is assumed to occur at a rainfall duration equal to the time of concentration. The Rational Method may be used for the determination of instantaneous peak runoff in the design of storm drainage systems up to 20 hectares in area, for preliminary design of systems serving larger areas, and as a check on flows determined by other methods. This method should not be used to determine the size or hydraulic performance of stormwater storage facilities. 2.4.2. The USSCS Method Methods described in the United States Soil Conservation Service ( USSCS) Technical Report No. 20 and No. 55 may be used to determine peak flow and volume for rural areas, to determine urbanization impacts, and to evaluate the performance of storage facilities. 2.4.3. SWMM and OTTSWMM The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), Storm Water Management Model (SWMM), and the University of Ottawa Storm Water Management Model ( OTTSWMM) may be used for design of piped systems and to model overland flow in a major system. 2.4.4. HYMO and OTTHYMO The Hydrologic Model (HYMO) and the University of Ottawa Hydrologic Model ( OTTHYMO) may be used for the development of storm drainage master plans, and in the analysis of stormwater management proposals for new development. The model includes capability for storage calculations and stream channel routing. 2.4.5. HEC The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) model may be used for modeling overland storm drainage systems, watercourses and determining the extent of floodplains. March 7, 2016 Page 8 119 City of Saint John 2.5 Hydrologic Desiqn Criteria 2.5.1. Rational Method 2.5.1.1. Runoff Coefficients Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual Tables 2.1 and 2.2 respectively present Rational Method runoff coefficients appropriate for various land uses and surface types. Selection of values from Tables 2.1 and 2.2 shall be based on permeability of the surface, lot size, soil conditions, and other relevant considerations. For residential, commercial or industrial land uses, rainfall intensities from Figure D.1 (Appendix D) shall be used with coefficients for summer ground conditions, unless use of winter conditions is justified by Section 2.2.9. Where runoff from an area that includes a significant proportion of undeveloped land is to be determined, a comparison shall be made between summer and winter ground conditions using winter runoff coefficients from Table 2.3 and winter rainfall intensities from Figure D.6 (Appendix D) accounting for snowmelt contributions. For winter or year -round runoff calculations, the coefficients from Tables 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 shall be increased according to Table 2.4 for the 1 in 100 year return period.

Winter Runoff Where calculation of winter runoff is required, frozen ground shall be simulated by assuming the area to be 80% paved in a 1 in 5 year design storm and 100% paved in a 1 in 100 year design storm. Winter rainfall intensities from Figure D.6 (Appendix D) shall be used for calculating winter runoff. 2.5.1.3. Snowmelt Estimation of snowmelt contribution is a complex process dependent on a number of variables, often not published for a given region. In lieu of available data, estimated snowmelt of 1.5 mm per hour shall be added to winter rainfall intensity. 2.5.1.4. Time of Concentration Time of concentration (T,) for a storm drainage system shall include both inlet time (T) and the travel time (Tt) to the point at which peak flow is to be estimated. Travel time (Tt) and time of concentration (T,) for overland flow may be estimated by methods described by the United States Soil Conservation Service (USSCS) presented in Appendix B. For most piped systems in medium density urban areas, it is expected that a minimum 5 minute inlet time (T) will be used. Travel times (Tt) in piped systems shall be based on velocities at peak design flow. 2.5.2. United States Soil Conservation Service (USSCS) Method 2.5.2.1. Hydrologic Soil Group (HSG) The USSCS Method categorizes soils into one of four hydrologic soil groups (HSG) contingent upon its surface infiltration rate, and subsurface permeability rate. Table 2.5 presents USSCS Method hydrologic soil groups. March 7, 2016 Page 10 121 City of Saint John Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual Table 2.5 USSCS Method Hydrologic Soil Group (HSG) Classification USSCS Method Description Hydrologic Soil Group (HSG) • Very low runoff potential A Very high infiltration rate (consistent with well drained sand and gravel) Moderate runoff potential B Moderate infiltration rate (consistent with silt and sand) High runoff potential C Low infiltration rate (consistent with clay and silt) Very high runoff potential D Very low infiltration rate consistent with saturated clays and high water tables 2.5.2.2. USSCS Method Curve Numbers Table 2.6 presents USSCS Method curve numbers for various land uses and hydrologic conditions. Selection of values from Table 2.6 shall be based on permeability of surface or % impervious area, lot size, soil condition, and other relevant considerations. For ordinary residential, industrial, or commercial land uses, rainfall data from Figure D.2 through Figure D.5 (Appendix D) shall be used with curve numbers for summer ground conditions unless otherwise justified by Section 2.2.9. Where runoff from an area that includes a significant portion of undeveloped land is to be determined, a comparison shall be made between summer and winter ground conditions using curve numbers to account for frozen ground, and rainfall data from Figure D.2 through Figure D.5 accounting for snowmelt contribution.

Design Requirements Minor storm drainage systems shall be designed to convey, without surcharge, the runoff resulting from the 1 in 5 year return period storm. As a preliminary check on the capacity of a piped storm system, the Manning's equation can be used. This will be particularly useful for initial sizing of the pipes. However, a more detailed analysis of the system as a whole will be required. Analysis of the capacity of a proposed or existing storm sewer system will determine the hydraulic grade line (HGL) when the storm system is conveying the 1 in 5 year flows, and will take into account losses at manholes and other junctions, the headloss through the pipes, and any backwater conditions at the outlet of the storm sewer system. To ensure that the minor storm drainage system is not subjected to flows greater than its design capacity, it is required that the Consultant check the total inlet capacity for the entire system. It is likely that this analysis will determine that during a major storm, flows greater than a 1 in 5 year return period storm will enter the storm sewer system, and the Consultant will likely need to specify inlet control devices (ICDs) to limit the quantity of stormwater runoff that enters the minor March 7, 2016 Page 12 123 City of Saint John Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual storm drainage system. To streamline the design process, the Consultant may calculate the 1 in 5 year flows to each catchbasin using the appropriate hydrologic methods, specify an inlet control device for each catchbasin which limits the flow to approximately the design flow for the 1 in 5 year storm, and then calculate the hydraulic grade line. Contingent upon the results of hydraulic grade line analysis, it may be necessary to revise some of the junctions, or revise some of the storm sewer main diameters to ensure that the hydraulic grade line is contained within the pipe. 2.6.2. Minimum Velocity Under peak design flow (PDF) conditions from the tributary area, when fully developed, stormwater flow velocities in pipes must be a minimum of 0.6 m/s to maintain self - cleansing of the pipes. 2.6.3. Maximum Velocity Under peak design flow (PDF) conditions from the tributary area, when fully developed, stormwater flow velocities in pipes must not exceed a maximum of 6.0 m/s to reduce the potential for scour. 2.6.4. Minimum Diameter Storm sewer main diameters shall not be less than 300 mm. Catchbasin lateral diameters shall not be less than 200 mm. 2.6.5. Changes in Diameter Storm sewer main diameters must not decrease in the downstream direction. The exception is an inlet pipe being oversized to overcome the effects of inlet control. 2.6.6. Minimum Slope The minimum pipe slope for storm sewer mains shall be 0.4 %. The minimum slope for storm sewer mains on a permanent dead -end shall be 0.6 %. Under special conditions, and upon approval from the Engineer, slopes less than 0.4% (mains) and 0.6% (dead -ends) may be permitted provided that self - cleansing velocities under full flow conditions are maintained. Minimum pipe slope for catchbasin laterals shall be 1.0 %. 2.6.7. Minimum Depth The depth of storm sewer mains, measured from the design grade of the final surface to the top of the pipe, must be a minimum of 1.2 m. Catchbasin laterals shall have a minimum depth of cover of 0.9 m. 2.6.8. Maximum Depth The depth of storm sewer mains, measured from the design grade of the final surface to the top of the pipe must not exceed a maximum of 6.0 m. Under special conditions, and upon approval from the Engineer, the maximum depth of storm sewer mains may be increased such that the depth to the top of the pipe at any manhole location shall not exceed 8.0 m. 2.6.9. Location All storm sewer mains, outfalls, and appurtenances shall be located within the street right -of -way or an easement for municipal services owned by the City of Saint John. March 7, 2016 Page 13 124 City of Saint John Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual Easements for municipal services shall be of sufficient width to allow safe access to the pipe line in accordance with the requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act for the Province of New Brunswick. The minimum width of an easement for municipal services shall be 6.0 m. However, the actual width shall depend upon the depth and size of any pipe contained therein such that safe access to the pipe is possible, and upon the direction of the Engineer. Depending upon the length and location of the easement for municipal services, the City may require a service road to be provided within the easement for municipal services for access and maintenance purposes. Where master planning indicates a need to accommodate future upstream lands naturally tributary to the drainage area, an easement for municipal services shall be provided by the Developer from the edge of the street right -of -way to the upstream limit of the subdivision. 2.6.10. Manholes A manhole must be provided on a storm sewer main at any change in diameter, material, horizontal alignment, vertical alignment, pipe main junctions, and where a catchbasin is to be connected to a storm sewer main. Where a storm sewer main diameter is less than 1,500 mm, manhole spacing shall not exceed 120 m. Where a storm sewer main diameter is equal to or greater than 1,500 mm, manhole spacing will be determined in consultation with the Engineer. The following criteria shall be used for pipe elevation and alignment in storm drainage manholes to account for energy losses through the manhole: • An invert drop equal to the difference in pipe diameter shall be provided unless otherwise determined by appropriate hydraulic calculations; • The crown of a downstream pipe shall not be higher than the crown of an upstream pipe; • An internal drop manhole shall be constructed where the vertical drop between pipe inverts in the manhole exceeds 1.0 m; • The Consultant shall take into consideration energy losses at manholes during peak flow conditions to ensure that surcharging of the system does not occur; The minimum internal diameter of a manhole shall be 1,050 mm. The consultant shall ensure that the internal diameter is adequate to accommodate all pipe and appurtenances in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations; and • Tee base manholes may be used for storm pipe sizes of 900 mm diameter and larger. Manhole ladders are not permitted. 2.6.11. Storm Drainage Service Laterals All storm drainage service laterals shall be installed according to the following provisions: • For single - family lots, one storm drainage service lateral is to be supplied to each existing lot or potential future lot which could be created under the zoning in effect at the time of approval; • For semi - detached lots, one storm drainage service lateral is required; March 7, 2016 Page 14 125 City of Saint John Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual For single - family and semi - detached lots, storm drainage service laterals shall be a minimum diameter of 100 mm. Storm drainage service laterals for other forms of development shall be sized in accordance with the design flow; • The storm drainage lateral shall be laid at a minimum grade of 1% to the limit of the street right -of -way. 2.6.12. Groundwater Migration The Consultant shall assess the possibility of groundwater migration through mainline, lateral, and service lateral trenches resulting from the use of pervious bedding material. Corrective measures, including provision of impermeable collars or plugs, to reduce the potential for basement flooding or undermining by erosion resulting from groundwater migration shall be employed. 2.6.13. Foundation Drains Foundation drains will normally be connected by gravity to the minor storm drainage system unless the Consultant determines that surcharging of the system in a 1 in 100 year design storm will result in basement flooding or foundation damage. The invert elevation of the lateral at the limit of the street right -of -way shall be established at least 300 mm above the elevation of the obvert of the storm sewer main at the point of connection. Where a minor storm drainage system does not exist, other options may be permitted as specified in the National Building Code of Canada, latest edition, Division B, Part 9.14 — Drainage. Foundation drains shall not be permitted to discharge to the ground surface in such a way as to direct stormwater runoff to the street surface, walkways, or adjacent private property. Storm drainage service laterals shall not be connected to sanitary sewer service laterals or mains. 2.6.14. Roof Drains For residential developments, roof drains shall not be connected to storm drains, but shall discharge onto splash pads at the ground surface a minimum of 600 mm from the foundation wall in a manner that will carry water away from the foundation wall. For developments other than residential, roof drains may be directly connected to the piped storm drainage system provided the Consultant confirms sufficient capacity exists. 2.6.15. Catchbasins Catchbasins shall be installed at the curb of the street and shall be adequately spaced to prevent excessive water from flowing in the travelled lanes during storm events corresponding to the design of the minor system. The maximum distance for curb flow prior to being intercepted by a catchbasin shall be 120 m. At intersections, catchbasin locations shall be dependent upon the slopes of intersecting streets and the alignment of the intersection. It is vital that the interception capacity of the system of catchbasins be compatible with the design capacity of the storm drainage system. While the storm drainage mains will be designed for open channel flow conditions for the 1 in 5 year return period storm, the actual flows captured by the catchbasins during the 1 in 100 year return period storm shall be determined. March 7, 2016 Page 15 126 City of Saint John Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual In areas where there is a potential for contamination of stormwater (eg. near service stations), the Engineer may require inverted siphons in catchbasins or other specialized stormwater treatment units. All catchbasin laterals shall be connected to the manhole with an invert 1 m above the invert of the outgoing pipe. In cases where the diameter of the outgoing pipe is greater than 1 m, catchbasin laterals shall be connected to the manhole such that the invert of the catchbasin lateral is at the same elevation as the obvert of the outgoing pipe. Catchbasin laterals shall not protrude into the catchbasin or manhole by more than 150 mm and shall be grouted with an approved non - shrink grout and finished on the inside and outside of the structure. Catchbasin to catchbasin connections are not permitted, unless approved by Engineer. 2.6.16. Inlet Control Devices Inlet control devices (ICDs) must be provided where there is risk of surcharging the minor storm drainage system by storm events that exceed the 1 in 5 year return period. Typical ICD sizing requirements for medium density residential development are provided in Table 2.7. Detailed ICD sizing requirements and theory are provided in Appendix C. Where ICDs are specified in catchbasins, prefabricated ICDs can be used. Alternatively, they can be installed by cutting and grouting the lateral sufficiently inside the catchbasin to allow the placement of a cap on the end of the lateral with the appropriate size orifice to control the flows. Table 2.7 Typical Inlet Control Device (ICD) Sizes Catchbasin Tributary Area (ha) ICD Limiting Flow (L /s) ICD Diameter (mm) 0.1 16 85 0.2 32 120 0.3 48 150 0.4 64 170 Note: Based on a Rational Method runoff coefficient (C = 0.50) for medium density residential development, inlet time (T;= 5 min) head on catchbasin lateral of 1.13 m measured from center of orifice to gutter grade. 2.6.17. Inlets Inlets to piped storm drainage systems shall require grates to prevent entry for pipes 375 mm in diameter or larger. The orientation of the bars on the grate shall be vertical. The design of the inlet shall take into consideration the effect of the grating on restriction of flow into the pipe. Refer to Section 2.8.9 for grate design requirements. 2.6.18. Outfalls Design of outfalls from piped storm drainage systems into any receiving body of water shall take into consideration such factors as normal water level, public safety, erosion control and aesthetics. Outfalls from piped storm drainage systems of 375 mm in diameter and larger shall require grates to prevent entry, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. The orientation of the bars on the grate shall be horizontal. The design of the outfall shall take into consideration the effect of the grating on restriction of flow out of the pipe. Inverts of outfall pipes shall be installed above the normal winter ice level in the receiving stream, wherever possible. Refer to Section 2.8.9 for grate design requirements. March 7, 2016 Page 16 127 City of Saint John 2.6.19. Required Pipe Strength Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual All pipe installed within the street right -of -way, or in an easement for municipal services, shall be as specified in the City of Saint John General Specifications, latest revision. Required pipe strength shall be determined using the Marston and Spangler equations, or by nomograph method as published by the American Concrete Pipe Association for reinforced concrete pipe or the Uni -Bell PVC Pipe Association for PVC pipe. 2.6.20. Separation of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) For multi - family residential, institutional, industrial, and commercial buildings, and for subdivisions where the Engineer deems necessary, stormwater treatment systems capable of meeting or exceeding the following performance criteria shall be required: 80% of total suspended solids (TSS) to be removed and contained for all rainfall events producing peak runoff up to and including 20% of the 2 -year rainfall event based on local meteorological rainfall data. 2. 80% of total suspended solids (TSS) to be removed and contained for the total average annual precipitation based on local meteorological data. For uniformity in benchmarking different technologies, TSS removal is to be based on the following Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standard particle size distribution (PSD): Particle Size (µm) Particle Type US EPA (% by mass) <20 medium silt /coarse silt 20 20 to 60 coarse silt/fine sand 20 60 to 130 fine sand 20 130 to 400 medium sand 20 400 to 4000 coarse ravel /fine sand 20 The specific gravity to be used for unit sizing purposes is 2.65 for all particle sizes. The selected manufacturer of stormwater treatment systems shall submit design drawings and calculations to the Consultant for review and approval. In addition, the manufacturer shall provide written certification by a registered Professional Engineer of the unit's projected performance for the specific project. 2.7 Maior Storm Drainage System 2.7.1. Minor Storms In storms corresponding to the basis of design for the minor drainage system, it is expected that roadways will remain free of water other than that amount accumulated between inlets. 2.7.2. Maior Storms For barrier -type curb applications, storm drainage design shall provide that the depth and spread of flow in a 1 in 100 year return period storm shall be contained within the right -of -way. For mountable -type curb applications, the area located directly behind the curb must be graded in order that there be no overflow discharged from the right -of -way except at easements for municipal services designed to convey the overland flow. March 7, 2016 Page 17 128 City of Saint John Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual All low points in the roadway profile must be designed to collect and convey stormwater runoff off the roadway via a drainage easement designed to convey the overland flow. Provision shall be made to remove runoff into drainage channels, watercourses, and pipe systems at low points and at intervals such that this criteria is achieved. 2.7.3. Off - Street Drainage In order to avoid seepage and winter icing problems on the street caused by groundwater seeping over the top of the curb, the Consultant shall provide a perforated curb drainage system, where required. Concentrated surface flows reaching the street right -of -way shall be directed to a pipe inlet. Catchbasins shall be installed at locations where flow over the curb creates winter icing . Area catchbasins with pyramid grates shall be installed in off - street locations where concentrated flow would otherwise cross a sidewalk or walkway. 2.7.4. Ditches and Open Channels Roadway ditches, where curb and gutter systems are not required, shall be designed to conform to the typical cross section for rural roads as detailed in the City of Saint John General Specifications, latest revision. Ditches shall be designed with adequate capacity to carry the flow expected from the 1 in 100 year return period storm. Ditches shall have a minimum longitudinal grade of 1% unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. 2.7.5. Maximum Velocity To minimize erosion, maximum permissible velocities in ditches or open channels that convey stormwater runoff shall not exceed values set forth in Table 2.8 in a 1 in 100 year return period storm unless the channel is lined or acceptable energy dissipation facilities are provided.

Minimum Diameter Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual Minimum culvert diameters shall be 450 mm for circular culverts. Minimum culvert width by height is 450 mm x 450 mm for rectangular culverts. No downstream decrease in culvert sizing shall be permitted except to improve inlet hydraulics. 2.8.2. Minimum Depth Minimum cover for culverts under roadways is to be in accordance with manufacturer's specifications. 2.8.3. Maximum Depth In areas of excessive depth of bury, the Engineer may require the Consultant to submit pipe strength calculations including earth loading, line loading, and induced loading, accounting for site conditions and construction practices. 2.8.4. Hydraulic Capacity Culverts are to be sized to convey instantaneous peak flows with a headwater depth (HW) to culvert diameter (D) ratio of 1.0 accounting for both inlet control and outlet control. Culverts located under driveways and roadways are to be designed to accommodate the 1 in 5 year return period storm, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. Culverts located in watercourses are to be designed to accommodate the 1 in 100 year return period storm, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. 2.8.5. Maximum Headwater Depth Maximum headwater elevation (HW) for both inlet control and outlet control shall be reviewed by the Consultant relative to adjacent ground surface and adjacent structures for compatibility. The Consultant may reduce maximum headwater elevations (HM for culverts under inlet control by improving inlet hydraulics. Table 2.9 and Table 2.10 present entrance loss coefficients (ke) for reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) and corrugated steel pipe (CSP).

Inlet Design An approved inlet headwall, or some other acceptable form of embankment stabilization and erosion control is required for all culverts under roadways. 2.8.7. Outlet Design An approved outlet headwall, or some other acceptable form of embankment stabilization and erosion control is required for all culverts under roadways. 2.8.8. Outlet Velocity The maximum culvert outlet velocity shall be 4.0 m /s. A riprap splash pad and apron must be designed by the Consultant to transition the culvert outlet velocity to the mean downstream channel velocity. Riprap shall be sized in accordance with Equation 2.2. where: D,,"' = 0.019• V z Dmea„ = equivalent spherical diameter of riprap (m) V = culvert outlet velocity (m /s) [2.2) Culvert outlet velocities must not exceed the maximum permissible mean channel velocities for a given channel material as presented in Table 2.8. 2.8.9. Inlet and Outlet Grates Culverts under driveways and roadways less that 25 m in length shall not normally require inlet and outlet grates. Culverts 25 m and longer shall be equipped with inlet and outlet grates for pipe sizes larger than 300 mm up to and including 1050 mm diameter, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. Culverts with pipe size greater than 1050 mm diameter, regardless of length, shall not require inlet and outlet grates, unless otherwise required by the Engineer. Inlet grates shall be constructed of vertically oriented bars. Outlet grates shall be constructed of horizontally oriented bars. Design and sizing of inlet and outlet grates must account for the restriction in flow created by the grate and blockage. Under no circumstances shall a culvert be equipped with an outlet grate and not an inlet grate. Generally, the cross sectional area of the grate shall be 5 to 10 times the cross sectional area of the pipe. Placement of the grate shall be at least one pipe diameter from the end of the pipe. 2.8.10. Culvert Materials Culverts under driveways shall be as per the City of Saint John General Specifications, latest revision. Culverts under roadways shall be reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), unless approved otherwise by the Engineer. March 7, 2016 Page 20 131 City of Saint John 2.9 Downstream Effects 2.9.1. Other Considerations Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual Explicit consideration shall be given to public safety, New Brunswick Department of Environment (NBDOE) regulations, New Brunswick Department of Transportation (NBDOT) regulations, nuisance, and maintenance implications of ditches, open channels, and drainage courses. Attempts shall be made to limit the number of partial enclosures of a ditch, open channel, or drainage course by driveways, roadways, and other crossings. 2.9.2. Stormwater Control Facilities Investigation of requirements to mitigate the downstream effects of a proposed development shall be carried out to determine the requirements for and feasibility of utilization of a storage facility for stormwater runoff control. If a determination is made that a storage facility is required, its design shall be carried out using appropriate methods and sound engineering principles. The design shall take into consideration various factors including, but not limited to, watercourse protection, erosion and sediment control, impact on adjacent property, maintenance requirements, public safety, access, liability, and nuisance. Such storage facilities shall be designed to control the peak runoff conditions for various storm events up to the 100 year return period storm. 2.9.3. Storm Drainage Easement for Municipal Services No storm drainage is to be carried onto, through, or over private property, other than by a watercourse, excavated ditch, or minor storm drainage system. To ensure access to storm drainage systems, the Developer is to secure for conveyance to the City, easements for municipal services of adequate width in the following cases: • Excavated ditches or storm sewers within the boundary of the subdivision; • Where a need is identified by the City to accommodate future upstream drainage, an easement for municipal service shall run from the roadway to the upstream limits of the subdivision; • An easement for municipal services may be required for excavated ditches or minor storm drainage systems that are adjacent to and immediately downstream of the subdivision that are required to ensure proper functioning of the subdivision storm drainage system. An easement for municipal services will not normally be required for a watercourse; • Where subdivision stormwater runoff flows from the subdivision onto adjacent properties other than in a watercourse, an easement for municipal services in favour of the City of Saint John must be provided by the owners affected; • Watercourses shall not normally be carried in roadside ditches or minor storm drainage systems. 2.9.4. Discharge to Adjacent Properties All storm drainage is to be self- contained within the subdivision limits, except for natural drainage associated with runoff from undeveloped areas. However, runoff from within the subdivision may be directed to a natural stream, watercourse, or a municipal storm drainage system. In all cases, concentration and conveyance of stormwater to adjacent properties outside the subdivision limits is prohibited unless the developer obtains the necessary agreements from the adjacent property owners. March 7, 2016 Page 21 132 City of Saint John Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual The grading along the limits of the subdivision shall be carefully controlled to avoid disturbance of adjacent properties or an increase in the discharge of stormwater to those properties. The lot grading design shall provide for drainage from adjacent properties where no other alternative exists. The lot grading design shall provide for temporary drainage of all blocks of land within the subdivision that are intended for future development. During the design of storm drainage systems, provision must be made for accommodating natural drainage from adjacent properties by means of an interceptor swale or other system components. 2.10 Analysis of Existing Storm Drainage Systems In the absence of existing storm drainage master planning, it may be necessary to analyze the capacity of existing storm drainage systems. This may be required in the event a proposed development increases stormwater runoff to an existing system, and it is unknown if the existing system can convey the additional flows without problems. It may also be necessary to analyze an existing system due to complaints of flooding or problems in the system. Where Consultants are required to analyze an existing storm drainage system within the City of Saint John, the following procedure shall be followed: 2.10.1. Hydrologic Analysis Where existing systems are being analyzed, it is important to determine the peak stormwater runoff to a given point in a system caused by severe rainfall and snowmelt events. Where storage facilities are included in the analysis, it may be necessary to determine the hydrograph of the stormwater runoff to a particular point; that is, the simple instantaneous peak flow will not be adequate to analyze storage facilities. In determining the stormwater runoff or hydrographs, the methods as described in Section 2.4 shall be used. In preparing the hydrologic and hydraulic model, it is necessary to determine the drainage area to each individual storm manhole and each individual storm inlet. This information shall be compiled on a master drawing of the area being studied with appropriate labels for the areas, manholes, and catchbasins such that calculations can be easily compared to the plan. For minor storm drainage systems, ie. storm sewers and catchbasins, the 1 in 5 year return period storm runoff shall be calculated for the points of interest. For open channels, watercourses, and major drains on streets, the 1 in 100 year return period storm runoff shall be calculated for the points of interest. 2.10.2. Hydraulic Analysis For each component of the existing storm drainage system such as: a storm sewer main, open channel, watercourse, or culvert, the hydraulic capacity of that portion of the system must be determined and compared to the flow derived from the hydrologic calculations. The following procedures are accepted for determining the hydraulic capacity of storm drainage structures: 2.10.2.1. Open Ditches, Channels, and Watercourses The Manning's equation may be used to determine the capacity of open channels, ditches, and watercourses where channel slopes are greater than 1 %. Where channel slopes are less than 1%, it may be necessary to account for backwater effects using the energy equation and the direct -step or standard -step methodologies. This may be accomplished with a water surface profile model as per Section 2.4. Also to be considered in these calculations is the water surface elevation at the outlet of the ditch, watercourse, or channel. March 7, 2016 Page 22 133 City of Saint John 2.10.2.2. Culverts Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual To calculate the hydraulic capacity of a culvert, the inlet capacity of the culvert and the outlet capacity shall be checked taking into consideration maximum tailwater elevation at the outlet of the culvert. Also to be checked is the barrel capacity of the culvert using the Manning's equation. 2.10.2.3. Minor Storm Sewer System Minor storm sewer systems consist of storm sewer mains, manholes, catchbasins, and various inlets and outlets. The capacity of a storm sewer system shall be checked as follows: Preliminary sizing of pipe diameter assuming full flow conditions for each pipe in the minor storm drainage system using the Manning's equation for the 1 in 5 year return period storm. Manning's roughness coefficients (n) have been tabulated in Table 2.11. The ratio of the 1 in 5 year design flow (Q5) to full flow pipe capacity (Qcap) shall not exceed 80 %. Q s <_ 0.80 [2.3] where: Q`a` Q5 1 in 5 year design flow (L /s) Qcap full flow pipe capacity (L /s) A determination of the hydraulic grade line (HGL) for the 1 in 5 year return period storm shall be conducted assuming the actual captured flow (Q,) is 100% of the 1 in 5 year design flow (Q5). Analysis shall account for pipe friction losses, junction and bend losses, outlet tailwater elevation, and capacity constraints of the downstream system. HGL profiles may be determined by the standard -step method, the direct -step method, or acceptable energy equation principles. The HGL profile shall be plotted on the plan and profile drawing to ensure that the water surface profile is contained within the pipe. An elevated HGL may require a pipe diameter larger than that which is determined by the Manning's equation in order to avoid surcharging of the minor storm sewer system. A determination of the hydraulic grade line (HGL) for the 1 in 100 year return period shall be conducted assuming the actual captured flow (Q,) is some percentage of the 1 in 100 year design flow (Q,00). The actual captured flow shall be the lesser of the maximum catchbasin inlet capacity, the maximum catchbasin lateral capacity, or the 1 in 100 year design flow (Q100). Analysis shall account for pipe friction losses, junction and bend losses, outlet tailwater elevation, and capacity constraints of the downstream system. HGL profiles may be determined by the standard -step method, the direct -step method, or acceptable energy equation principles. The HGL profile shall be plotted on a profile drawing to ensure that the water surface profile is at an acceptable level. The HGL profile shall not cause back -up into service laterals or basements. Provision of inlet control devices (ICDs), as presented in Appendix C, is an acceptable means of limiting the actual captured flow (Q,) by the minor system in storm events that exceed the design capacity of the minor storm sewer system. Design capacity (Qdes) of the major storm drainage system must account for any additional flow restricted from entering the minor storm drainage system.

Stormwater Detention Structures Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual Components of a storm drainage system may include natural ponds, lakes, or man- made storm drainage detention facilities to reduce the peak flow downstream. The following procedures shall be used to check the performance of a storm drainage detention facility: A 1 in 100 year return period, 24 -hour duration storm shall be applied to the watershed using one of the applicable models in Section 2.4. A hydrograph shall be generated to compare pre - development and post - development flow rates. The storage indication method shall be used to calculate the outflow from the facility taking into consideration the outlet condition (that is, the hydraulic outlet structure of the pond). The maximum flood elevation of the facility shall be calculated as part of this work. Where the watershed is mostly urban or developed land, it is likely that a summer storm will be adequate to check the facility. However, if a large portion of the watershed is forested or natural, it will be necessary to check the facility using a winter storm with snowmelt included in the runoff.

General Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual A complete and properly functioning Storm Drainage System includes a variety of components which may be grouped into two categories: "Community Systems" being those elements which serve two or more properties. For example: roadside ditches, culverts, roadways, curbs and gutters, street and backyard catchbasins, pipes or conduits, detention ponds, watercourses, floodplains, drainage swales, and ground elevations along common lot lines or in easements. "Individual Lot Systems" being those elements which serve a single lot and are contained within its limits. For example: swales contained within lot limits, gently graded lot areas, slopes, roof downspouts, individual seepage pits, French Drains, building laterals, parking lot catchbasins and conduits. The City is the administrator of subdivision and building construction for the City of Saint John. Within this context, it is an objective of the City of Saint John to facilitate and regulate the establishment of a complete and properly functioning Storm Drainage System to serve new building construction. An important group of elements in a Storm Drainage System are the Community Systems located outside of the street limits. Poor off - street grading and drainage can lead to unsafe conditions, extensive and costly maintenance, property damage, and loss of use of lot areas. The primary purpose of this section of the Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual is to facilitate and regulate design and construction with respect to the Community Systems located outside of the street limits. 2.11.2. Roles and Responsibilities Several parties are typically involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of the Community Systems providing off - street drainage. Their roles and responsibilities within the context of this section of the Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual are described as follows: Consultant The Consultant is responsible for the preparation of the design of the Community Systems, such that when construction of the design takes place, the objectives of the Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual are met. In carrying out this responsibility, the Consultant is to provide for adequate initial construction such that undue ongoing maintenance obligations are not placed on the Homeowner or the City. Contractor The Contractor is responsible for the construction of the Community Systems in accordance with the design and provisions required by the City and in a good and workmanlike manner. It is required that the Contractor not deviate from the design without prior consultation with the Consultant. If unusual or unanticipated site conditions are encountered during construction, the Contractor shall advise the Consultant immediately. Developer The Developer is the owner of the land proposed for subdivision or development, and includes anyone acting as his /her agent. With respect to lot grading and drainage, the Developer is responsible for construction of the Community Systems identified by the Engineer as being the Developer's responsibility. This will include construction works within easements, be they public or private, and in certain instances will involve pre - grading March 7, 2016 Page 25 136 City of Saint John Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual of entire lot areas to prevent ponding of water or other drainage problems. Construction of grades along common lot lines and grading of entire lots where community grading concerns do not exist will generally not be required. City The City of Saint John is the administrator of the process associated with design, construction, and certification of the Community Systems. As part of this process, the City may review, approve, and provide comment to the other parties. As the administrator of the process, the City does not assume any responsibility for the actions of the other parties. In some instances, the City may be responsible for the maintenance of the off - street Community Systems located within public easements. Homeowner It is expected that the Homeowner will be responsible for the usual maintenance of the Individual Lot Systems, and in some instances, of the Community Systems, eg. cleaning of storm drainage inlets, maintaining drainage swales free of vegetation and debris, and maintaining suitable slope protection. It is expected that Homeowners will not block drainage routes, for example, placing excess snow at end of driveway thereby blocking sideyard drainage swales. If the Homeowner alters any of the Community Systems, he /she shall be responsible for the implications of the alteration. 2.11.3. Objectives The Community Systems designed within the context of the Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual shall achieve the following objectives: a) to prevent loss of life and protect structures and property from significant damage and expense, including that which is expected to be experienced during a 1 in 100 year storm event. b) to provide for convenient and reasonable use of lot areas despite the existence of overland flow during and following rain and snow events and the existence of subsurface or groundwater flow, eg. continuously saturated backyard, significant continuous icing. c) to provide for safe use of lot and street areas, eg. excessive depth of flow or water storage, significant continuous icing. d) to avoid drainage problems or other conditions that result in unreasonable maintenance obligations on the Homeowner or City, eg. significant or regular de -icing operations. e) to provide protection from erosion from surface flow, subsurface flow, or groundwater, eg. slope stabilization. f) to direct water away from buildings in order to prevent basement flooding and damage to the foundation drain. g) to prevent standing water and soil saturation detrimental to buildings, driveways, walkways, landscaped areas and other use of the lot. In addition to the foregoing, the Consultant is to provide information to the City to demonstrate that the following overall Storm Drainage System objectives are achieved: h) to adequately convey stormwater flow from upstream sources. i) to prevent and /or mitigate the adverse effects of stormwater flow on downstream or adjacent properties, such as erosion, or flooding due to inadequate downstream capacity or grading. j) to preserve watercourses. k) to minimize the long term effect of development on receiving watercourses and groundwater. 1) to maintain pre - development drainage patterns unless some motivating factor to change the pattern exists, eg. conflict with other objectives (capacity). March 7, 2016 Page 26 137 City of Saint John Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual In the preparation of a design that meets the above objectives, the Consultant is encouraged to strive for an attractive living environment and give consideration to factors such as the following: • Aesthetic conditions relating to lot grading, eg. creating space on the lot that is convenient as a play area, usually in the backyard. • The preservation of desirable site features where practical, ie. minimizing disturbance, retaining trees. • Providing for variance in front yard setbacks along a street and for establishing a roof line profile which is aesthetically pleasing. • Locating slopes and boundary lines such that tops and bottoms of slopes are at property boundaries. • Avoiding excessively deep swales. • Where swales and French Drains are contemplated at the base of a significant slope, it is recommended that the swale be located at the toe of the slope. • Locating driveway to allow convenient and safe ingress and egress. • Creating consistent grading within adjacent lots. 2.11.4. Design Criteria — Off - Street Systems and Subdivision Grading The Design Criteria for lot grading and drainage are to cover the more common aspects of design encountered in lot grading and drainage development. Local conditions may influence the design criteria and design requirements, for example, circumstances where soils are not free draining may require a flatter maximum permissible slope. Additional requirements affecting design are contained in other relevant documents, such as the National Building Code of Canada. The Criteria provided herein are for information and will serve as the benchmark for review of Subdivision Grading Plans in typical circumstances. 2.11.4.1. Community Systems In designing Community Systems, the focus is on those drainage elements which affect more than one property, eg. common backyard swales /catchbasins, grading along common property boundaries. It is critical that the Consultant ensure that sufficient Community Systems are in place and /or contemplated and depicted such that the Individual Lot Systems can be designed and constructed in a fashion that allows for a properly functioning overall Storm Drainage System for the Homeowner while striving for an attractive living environment. It is intended that Community Systems will not have to be altered as a consequence of design of detailed Individual Lot Systems. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the Consultant test the ability of the Community Systems to achieve the above stated objective by carrying out preliminary design of the Individual Lot Systems serving the lots. Community Systems are to be designed in accordance with the following criteria: Ground Surface The area between the street right -of -way and the curb shall slope towards the curb at a minimum slope of 2% but not greater than 4 %. The maximum slope shall be 3:1 (H:V) unless constructed on in -situ rock. A steeper slope may also be permitted by the Engineer if a geotechnical report is submitted that certifies the use of a steeper slope. The top and bottom of banks shall be rounded for convenient maintenance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Consultant is responsible to design a suitably graded slope with appropriate surface treatment to provide for long term stability. March 7, 2016 Page 27 138 City of Saint John Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual Where required, retaining walls shall be designed with due consideration given to soundness of material, stability, safety, maintenance and other relevant factors. Retaining walls with a height greater than 1 m shall be designed by and the construction certified by a Professional Engineer. Where a cut intercepts the groundwater table creating potential drainage and icing problems, special measures will be required to address potential drainage problems. Such systems may include local drain tile systems or French drains. Where areas are disturbed, stabilization is to be provided to prevent erosion. Off - Street Swales • Except for individual single family and semi - detached dwelling lots, provision shall be made to collect on -site, and convey by pipe to a storm sewer, all runoff from off - street areas other than grassed or undisturbed areas. • Swales shall be blended into the landscape to the greatest degree possible in order to provide a natural appearance. • The minimum grade along any swale shall be 2 %. Less than 2% grade may be used where underdrains are incorporated. In cases where an underground drain is included in the swale design, the minimum grade may be reduced to 1%. Consultants are encouraged to use grades, where possible, that are steeper than the minimum. • The flow from all swales shall be intercepted by catchbasins at a maximum spacing such that the maximum depth of flow in the 5 year storm event is 100 mm or as otherwise directed by the Engineer. • Where the swale intercepts subsurface water, the swale shall incorporate underdrains, regardless of slope. • The side slope for any swale shall be no greater than 33% (3 horizontal: 1 vertical). • The maximum depth of flow in any swale shall be 250 mm in the 1 in 100 year storm. • All swales shall be designed to accommodate the 1 in 100 year stormwater flow. • An overflow route shall be provided to direct overflow to major storm drainage systems. The 1 in 100 year water level along such route shall be lower than the lowest opening to the adjacent dwellings. • Sharp corners shall be avoided in swale design. • Steeply sloping swales shall have appropriate surface treatment to prevent erosion. Catchbasins • Where a swale intersects a street, a catchbasin, located as close as practical to the curb or to the sidewalk, shall be installed to intercept flow from the swale. • The flow from all rear yard swales serving a significant number of lots shall be intercepted by a catchbasin(s) installed at the rear of the property. • The grade of lots in the immediate vicinity of a rear yard catchbasin shall be graded in a manner which will direct all water to the catchbasin. • Catchbasins shall be located entirely on one property and shall not be located on any property line. Underdrains Underdrains are to be used to remove surface and subsurface water, to drain wet areas and other areas of poor drainage, or where minimum slopes with respect to lot surface or swales cannot be achieved. March 7, 2016 Page 28 139 City of Saint John Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual • Underdrains are not permitted to discharge onto street surfaces, walkways, private properties, or any other location where there would be an impact inconsistent with the objectives of this Manual. • Underdrains shall be located a minimum of 3 m away from any part of the building foundation. • Where necessary to avoid icing problems on the street caused by water flowing over the top of the curb, the Consultant shall provide an acceptable method to intercept this flow, eg. French drain installed behind the curb. • Small diameter pipe (less than 250 mm diameter) installed for "off- street" drainage such as French drains, and rear yard drains may be installed without manholes provided the following conditions are met: - the pipe discharge must be into a catchbasin or manhole within the street right -of -way, - where two or more lines join, a manhole shall be provided, - where such lines are greater in length than 25 m, a wye type clean -out or manhole shall be installed in locations as approved by the Engineer, - a wye type clean -out, manhole or catchbasin shall be provided at the end of each line, - long radius bends may be used provided that a wye type clean -out is installed on the upstream side of each fitting. Easements • Easements shall be provided for all swales which, in the opinion of the Engineer, require such legal conveyances. • Easements for municipal services shall be provided for all catchbasins and associated stormwater pipes constructed in conformance with the City's standards. • A minimum easement width of 6 m is required for public easements. • A minimum easement width of 4.5 m is required for private easements. 2.11.5. Multi -Unit Residential, Institutional, Industrial and Commercial Buildings Although ownership of the storm system and responsibility for maintenance shall remain private, design of the Storm Drainage System for multi -unit residential, institutional, industrial, and commercial buildings shall conform to the Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual. Multi -unit residential, institutional, industrial, and commercial developments shall employ flow control devices upstream of the central storm sewer connection, which will limit the peak flow to the pre - development flow for both the minor and major storm. As an option and at the discretion of the Engineer, the Consultant may undertake an analysis of the downstream receiving system in accordance with Section 2.2.5, and if it can be demonstrated that excess capacity exists beyond that required for full development of the tributary watershed, the Engineer may permit a greater release rate of peak flow from the development. 2.12 Erosion and Sedimentation Control Stormwater management systems shall be an integral part of overall site design and development. The Consultant shall submit an erosion and sedimentation control plan in conformity with all applicable municipal and provincial regulations and guidelines. The plan shall include both short -term measures applicable during construction and long -term measures after completion of development. March 7, 2016 Page 29 140 City of Saint John Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual Site design shall make optimum use of existing topography and vegetation and minimize cut and fill operations. During construction, site design shall prevent/minimize surface water flows across or from the construction site. Development of the site shall be based on exposing a minimum area of the site for the minimum time. The control plan shall include the following: • interception and diversion ditches to direct clear water around the construction site • stable diversion berms • sediment traps • covering or seeding of topsoil or other soil stockpiles • isolated stripping of land being developed • vegetation screens or buffers • filter bags in catchbasins • settling ponds Long -term environmental protection measures shall include designs to minimize erosion and sediment flow, protect outfall areas, minimize disruption of watercourses, utilize wetlands for natural filtration, and provide for groundwater recharge when possible. Reference documents applicable for use by the Consultant in preparing Erosion and Sediment Control Plans include: • Watercourse Alterations Technical Guidelines, Province of New Brunswick Department of Environment • Environmental Field Guide, New Brunswick Department of Transportation • Environmental Protection Plan, New Brunswick Department of Transportation March 7, 2016 Page 30 141 City of Saint John 3 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS 3.1 Scope Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual 3.1.1 A person proposing to develop or subdivide an area of land must submit to the City for approval all drawings, engineering design reports, and supplementary calculations required herein. 3.1.2 Approval of the storm drainage design by the City does not in any way relieve the Consultant of the responsibility for proper design with respect to the plans, engineering design reports, and supplementary calculations for compliance with the Stormwater Drainage Design Criteria Manual. 3.1.3.

Catchbasin grate capacity and catchbasin lateral capacity are typically designed to accommodate flows in excess of the 1 in 5 year design event. In a major storm, or any storm event that exceeds the 1 in 5 year design event, catchbasin grates and laterals may capture and convey more stormwater runoff to the storm sewer mains than the mains were originally designed to accommodate. As the excess capacity that is naturally designed into storm sewer mains is consumed, the hydraulic grade line, or the water surface profile under open channel conditions, elevates and approaches a surcharged condition. Under surcharged, or pressurised conditions, energy losses due to pipe friction and irregularities at manholes are greatly increased over that of open channel conditions. This phenomena further elevates the hydraulic grade line. In extreme cases, elevated hydraulic grade lines may cause backflow into basements resulting in flooding complaints, create disturbance on streets due to surcharged manholes, and may damage the storm sewer system. In order to minimize the potential for surcharging in the storm sewer system, it is necessary to provide a flow control device capable of conveying the 1 in 5 year design flow, yet restrict additional flow. An inlet control device (ICD) is a flow restriction device designed with this purpose in mind. Typical ICD configurations are in the form of caps, or plugs designed to fit onto the outlet within the catchbasin, restricting flow from the catchbasin to the storm sewer main. The premise of ICD design is to limit the open area available to flow to a size that will convey only the maximum desired design flow. Given that the ICD may function as a weir or as an orifice, contingent upon the depth of available head, and that the capacity of the ICD is also contingent upon the depth of available head; proper sizing may require reasonable assumptions to be made. For the purposes of design, the ICD shall be sized to accommodate the 1 in 5 year design flow under its maximum available head. For the purpose of design, the maximum available head shall be considered to be the depth from the top of the catchbasin grate to the ICD plus the additional 150 mm of depth that is allowed to flow in the gutter during a major storm event. It shall be noted that restricting flow into the minor storm system and diverting it to the major storm system shall be considered in the design and sizing of the major storm system. A number of proprietary ICD designs and suppliers are available. However, the Consultant may propose an alternative design and sizing complete with supporting calculations, material and construction specifications for consideration. In the case of a circular ICD design, when the maximum available head (H) exceeds 1.5 times the orifice diameter (D), the orifice equation may be used to determine the correct orifice diameter for the 1 in 5 year design flow given the maximum available head.

First and Second Reading of Saint John Building By -law, Subdivision By -law and Drainage By -law OPEN OR CLOSED SESSION This matter is to be discussed in open session of Common Council. AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner /Dept. Head City Manager J. Brent McGovern Jacqueline Hamilton Jeff Trail RECOMMENDATION As recommended by your Planning Advisory Committee, your City Manager recommends that Common Council proceed with the adoption process for all three development by -laws by passing first and second reading of the attached three by -laws entitled: "The City of Saint John Subdivision By -law "; "A By -law Respecting the Construction, Repair and Demolition of Buildings and Structures in the City of Saint John"; and "A By -law Respecting Drainage in the City of Saint John ". EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Since February 16, 2015 when Council directed staff to proceed with rewriting the Subdivision By -law and the Building By -law and to develop a Stormwater Drainage By -law staff have remained focused on creating a suite of modernized, integrated development by -laws. At the February 8, 2016 meeting of Common Council in accordance with section 66 (1) of the Provincial Community Planning Act, Council adopted a recommendation to request in writing, before enacting a by -law, the written views of the Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) for both the proposed Saint John Building By -law and the Subdivision By -law. The Drainage By -law falls under the Municipalities Act and for this reason the referral requesting written views was not required however it should be noted the Drainage By -law was provided to PAC for information purposes. 161 SM Further to the PAC workshop held on February 2, 2016, a special public meeting of the City's PAC was held on February 23, 2016 to consider the new Subdivision By -law and the new Saint John Building By -law. At this public meeting staff also presented to the Committee the Drainage By -law for information purposes. At the Februrary 23, 2016 PAC meeting, the Committee unanimously recommended that Common Council proceed with adoption of the attached by- laws entitled "The City of Saint John Subdivision By -law" and "A By -law Respecting the Construction, Repair and Demolition of Buildings and Structures in the City of Saint John ". No modifications to either of the by -laws were necessary as a result of PACs review and consideration. In addition to the recommendations regarding the Subdivision and Building By- laws staff are also recommending proceeding with adoption of the Drainage By- law at this time. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION In February 2015 Council adopted the following related recommendation: - direct staff to proceed with rewriting of the Subdivision By -law and Building By -law and the development of the Stormwater Drainage By -law that incorporates the service improvements outlined in M &C 2015 -023. Council received quarterly updates on progress in June and November 2015. In early February 2016 workshops were held with Council and the Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) on the proposed One -Stop Development By -laws. On February 8, 2016 Council referred the proposed Saint John Building By -law and the proposed Subdivision By -law to the PAC for its written view of the draft by -laws in accordance with the requirements of the Community Planning Act. STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT The One -Stop Development Shop project is a Council priority related to economic health of the City. The One -Stop project and the three new development by -laws align with key strategies including P1anSJ and AdvanceSJ. The new by -laws modernize the City's development framework with respect to the construction of buildings and the subdivision of lands while adding new stormwater management features. REPORT The goal of the modernized suite of development by -laws is to improve clarity and predictability for development, while ensuring community standards set out in P1anSJ are met, enforcement is improved and new features of the One -Stop Shop including stormwater management are added. 162 -3- On February 16, 2015 Council adopted the One -Stop Development Shop Final Service Delivery Model recommended options and directed staff to proceed with rewriting the Subdivision By -law and Building By -law and to develop a Stormwater Drainage By -law. Staff have remained focused on creating a suite of modernized, integrated development by -laws. There has been a considerable amount of research and stakeholder engagement relating to all three by -laws. In total, there has been 65 interviews, a review of 22 cities, 5 regional visits, 8 focus sessions and 2 public stakeholder engagement events. The most recent engagement activity relating to the three by -laws is noted below. - Staff Sessions —November 19, 2015 - PAC & Heritage Development Board — November 25, 2015 - Development Industry — November 26, 2015 - Economic Development Agencies — November 27, 2015 - Workshop with Council — February 1, 2016 - Workshop with PAC — February 2, 2016 - Special Meeting of PAC — February 23, 2016 Note that significant engagement with Council and key stakeholders including PAC, development industry and economic agencies have shaped the sutie of by- laws being recommended to Council. At the February 81h meeting of Common Council in accordance with section 66 (1) of the Provincial Community Planning Act, Council adopted a recommendation to request the written views of the PAC for both the proposed Saint John Building By -law and the proposed Subdivision By -law. A special public meeting of the City's PAC was held on February 23, 2016 to consider the Subdivision By -law and the Saint John Building By -law and the Committee recommended (see attached letter) unanimously that Common Council proceed with adoption of the attached by -laws entitled "The City of Saint John Subdivision By -law" and "A By -law Respecting the Construction, Repair and Demolition of Buildings and Structures in the City of Saint John ". No modifications to either of the by -laws were recommended. Note that the Drainage By -law falls under the Municipalities Act and for this reason the referral of the Drainage By -law is not required, however, staff worked with PAC to explain the details of the Drainage By -law. A minor revision was made to the Drainage By -law definitions in response to feedback received from PAC. Staff are also recommending proceeding with adoption of the new Drainage By -law at this time. It should be noted that the required public advertising has occurred positioning Council to proceed with first and second reading of the by -laws. 163 -4- A communications plan will be prepared for purposes of informing the general public of key changes associated with the by -laws. This education is to occur between first and second reading and the actual enactment of the by -laws on May 2, 2016. By -law Adoption Timeline Staff remain on schedule with the timeline endorsed by Council in November 2015. Remaining planned steps in the by -law adoption process are noted below. - March 7, 2016 — First and second reading of the three development by- laws. - March 21, 2016 — Bring all three by -laws forward for third reading. - May 2, 2016 — Enact the by -laws. This will allow time for communication to the public on changes and to allow staff time to implement the various process changes that are a necessary part of the new by -laws. A formal public launch of the One -Stop is being planned for Monday April 18, 2016 (a regular meeting of Council). SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES Service enhancements of the One -Stop Development Shop project as it relates to the by -laws will result in improved customer service, streamlining of the development process, creation of additional efficiencies within the development service and the creation of a stronger culture of compliance with development by- laws that contribute to reduced liability risks through improved enforcement all within existing resources. The By -law adoption process is being completed within Council approved budgets. INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS Input from PAC, Heritage Development Board, Development Industry, Economic Development Agencies, all Growth and Community Development staff, Saint John Water, Transportation and Environment and Finance have been received on the proposed by -laws. In addition, Legal undertook and completed an extensive review of each of the three By -laws. Staff received valuable input from all of the various stakeholder engagement sessions which helped shape the by -laws being recommended for Council's adoption. r_-r11r_-rfi ihig rt-1 The letter from the chair PAC recommending proceeding with adoption of the Subdivision By -law and the Building By -law is attached along with the staff report submitted to PAC.

The Committee considered the attached report at its February 23, 2016 meeting. Mr. Brent McGovern, Mr. Mark O'Hearn, Ms. Holly Young, and Ms. Amy Poffenroth with the City's Growth and Community Development Services Department attended the meeting and gave a presentation outlining the content of the new Subdivision and Building By -laws. The presentation also included information on the Drainage By -law which is being adopted in conjunction with the Building and Subdivision By -laws, but is not subject to the Committee's review and recommendation to Common Council. City Staff responded to questions from the Committee relating to the proposed penalties for starting work without a building permit, the City's process for dealing with citizen requests for additional street lighting and the acquisition of land for Public Purposes. The Committee also questioned Staff regarding fees and how the proposed subdivision approval fees compare with those of neighbouring municipalities. Staff noted that for a 20 lot subdivision, the associated approval fee would increase from $ 62.50 per lot to $ 125 per lot and that this fee was in the middle of the range of fees charged by area municipalities with Rothesay charging a higher fee ($ 162.50 per lot) and Quispamsis and Grand Bay - Westfield charging lower fees. The new fees proposed are also in the middle of the range of those charged by other New Brunswick municipalities. As a comparison, a 20 lot subdivision would have a fee of $327.50 per lot in Moncton and $ 37.50 per lot in Fredericton.. Page 1 of 2 166 City of Saint John Building and Subdivision By -Law February 26, 2016 Committee members also suggested adding the definition of a wetland to the list of definitions contained in the Drainage By -law. After considering the presentation, the replies to the Committee's questions that were provided by City Staff and the attached report, the Committee recommended that Council adopt the Subdivision and Building By -laws. No other persons appeared before the committee. RECOMMENDATION: That Common Council adopt the attached by -laws entitled The City of Saint John Subdivision By -law and A By -Law respecting the Construction, Repair and Demolition of Buildings and Structures in the City of Saint John. Respectfully submitted, Eric Falkjar Chair Attachments Page 2 of 2 167 The City of Saint Jahn Date: February 19, 2016 To: Planning Advisory Committee From: Community Planning & Development Growth & Community Development Services For: Meeting of Tuesday, February 23, 2016 SUBJECT Applicant: City of Saint John Application Type: Subdivision By -Law Adoption Building By -Law Adoption Jurisdiction: The Community Planning Act authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to give its views to Common Council with respect to the adoption of or amendment to a Building By -law or a Subdivision By -Law. SUMMARY As part of the One -Stop Development Shop project, three new by -laws have been prepared by City Staff to incorporate service improvements identified through the One -Stop project to modernize the City's approach regarding the construction of buildings and the subdivision of land within Saint John. Two of these by -laws, the Building By -law and Subdivision By -law, require consideration by the City's Planning Advisory Committee and a recommendation to Common Council under the provisions of the Community Planning Act. The third by -law, relating to drainage and stormwater management, has been provided for the Committee's information. The legislative authority to enact this by -law comes from the Municipalities Act, and as a result does not require a recommendation from the Committee. Page 1 of 7 168 City of Saint John Building and Subdivision By -laws February 19, 2016 The updated Subdivision By -law contains a series of improvements to the City's processes relating to land subdivision and operationalizes the policy direction for subdivision established in the Municipal Plan. The Building By -law formalizes process improvements related to the Building Permitting and Inspection process identified through the One -Stop Development Shop project. Staff note that there have been minor wording changes to the documents, resulting from the review of the documents by the City's Legal staff, which have occurred since the PAC workshop in early February. However there have been no significant changes to the intent or objectives of the by -law. Adoption of the proposed Building and Subdivision By -laws are recommended to modernize the City's development framework and align with the vision established in PlanSJ. RECOMMENDATION That Common Council adopt the attached by -laws entitled "The City of Saint John Subdivision By -law" and "A By -Law respecting the Construction, Repair and Demolition of Buildings and Structures in the City of Saint John." DECISION HISTORY The existing Building and Subdivision By -laws have been amended since their adoption in response to specific issues but have not been subject to a comprehensive review since the adoption of the current by -laws (1983 - Building By -law and 1979 - Subdivision By -law). Since the adoption of the new Municipal Plan, Plan SJ, in 2012 the City's planning and development by -laws have been undergoing revisions to support implementation of the policies advanced in the Municipal Plan, the most recent of which was the adoption of the new Zoning By -law in 2015. ANALYSIS Background A key component of the One -Stop Development Shop process is modernizing the City's suite of by -laws regulating land development and construction. This builds on the adoption of the City's new Municipal Plan and Zoning By -law. Since February 2015 City Staff have been rewriting the Subdivision and Building By -laws and developing a Drainage By -law. An important focus of the modernized by -laws is to improve clarity and predictability for all parties in the development process, while ensuring that the community vision and standards Page 2 of 7 169 City of Saint John Building and Subdivision By -laws February 19, 2016 established in PlanSJ are met. The new by -laws also allow for improved enforcement and new regulations regarding issues such as stormwater management. Key components of the updated by -laws are provided below. Subdivision By -Law The Subdivision By -law builds on the Community's vision for development articulated in the Municipal Plan (PlanSJ) with an overall goal of a performance -based approach that is less prescriptive. This approach provides increased flexibility to the development community in the design of subdivisions, particularly on sites which have constraints such as topography. This less prescriptive approach is evidenced by removing items such as roadway design standards (roadway grade, minimum curve radius) from the by -law and referring to accepted engineering guidelines such as those produced by the Transportation Association of Canada JAC). The by- law also incorporates the Trails and Bikeways Master Plan and Play SJ, recent City initiatives and reports regarding active transportation and recreation. Other major changes to the Subdivision By -law include: Street lighting - The By -law references the City's recently adopted Streetlight Best Management Practice which covers the design and installation of streetlights for new developments. The subdivision by -law will formalize the new requirement that streetlight installation costs in new developments will be the responsibility of the developer. • Construction of Future Streets - Developers will be required to vest lands for Future Street connections to adjacent properties as part of the subdivision process. The developer of the adjacent lands will be responsible for constructing these streets at the time adjacent development occurs. • Approval Fees - Fees for subdivision approvals have been updated to more accurately reflect the City's costs in delivering this service while keeping these fees comparable to other urban centres in New Brunswick. The magnitude of the fee increase is $ 50 per lot with the increase only applying to developments where a new street is being proposed. This level of fee increase is expected to have minimal impact on the cost of new housing construction in the City. • Single Access - A traffic impact assessment will be required for subdivisions that involve more than 100 dwellings and are only served by a single access to the existing City street network. The intent of this requirement is to determine the suitability of the single access to accommodate the traffic volume generated by the development. Unserviced Subdivisions - The new By -law will require water supply and soils reports to be prepared by a Professional Engineer and submitted by the developer for unserviced subdivisions (involving water supply via wells and on -site sewage disposal) containing 10 or more lots to ensure the adequacy of on -site services. Page 3 of 7 170 City of Saint John Building and Subdivision By -laws February 19, 2016 Revisions to the Subdivision By -law involved an extensive consultation process with City Staff, external agencies and the development community including developers and consultants during 2015. Building By -Law The last extensive update to the City's current Building By -law occurred in 2003. Since then the by -law has been amended periodically to account for revisions such as the adoption of updated versions of the National Building Code of Canada and changes to the fee structure for building permits. Major changes in the proposed by -law include: • Administrative Clarity - The revised by -law contains information regarding administrative items including requirements for a complete Building Permit application for the issuance of an Occupancy Permit. • Deposits - A series of refundable deposits is proposed, the amount of which depends on the value of the work. These deposits will cover City costs associated with outstanding permit fees, additional inspections or additional plan reviews should they be required over the course of the project. • Improved Compliance - Application fees will be doubled (up to a maximum of $ 25,000) for instances where work begins prior to the issuance of a Building or Demolition Permit. • Occupancy Permits - The issuance of occupancy permits will be extended to single unit dwellings. Currently, occupancy permits are issued for commercial and industrial projects and multiple unit residential buildings. • Expedited Permitting - The new by -law requires fewer permits for activities that are commonly associated with routine building maintenance and establishes a system of phased permits for larger projects to allow for construction of individual components of the building to occur (foundation, structural steel, interior construction) through a staged process. Drainage By -law A draft of the proposed drainage by -law is attached. As this by -law is adopted under the provisions of the Municipalities Act, it is provided for information purposes and has not been referred to PAC for a recommendation. Adoption of this by -law by Common Council will formalize the approach to approvals associated with drainage plans and stormwater management for development projects. Submission requirements are tailored to the scale of the project as follows: • Larger Projects — New subdivision development requires the preparation of an overall drainage plan and overall lot grading plan showing post - development drainage patterns and finished lot grading. When the lots are developed, a lot grading plan will be Page 4 of 7 171 City of Saint John Building and Subdivision By -laws February 19, 2016 required to show the proposed grading to allow for positive drainage away from the building. Smaller Projects - Smaller -scale residential infill projects, such as those for single unit dwelling additions, will require a sketch showing the proposed building expansion and the direction of flow of stormwater drainage on the lot post- construction. Other building projects such as additions to multiple unit residential and commercial buildings will require a letter from a Professional Engineer assessing the pre - development and post - development stormwater flow. Conclusion Adoption of the proposed Subdivision By -Law and Building By -law are recommended. This will allow for improved regulation of development and building projects within the municipality and incorporate many service improvements identified through the One -Stop Development Shop project. Key benefits of this approach will include a modernized suite of by -laws that will work together to support development that is aligned with PlanSJ, provide improved clarity and predictability for all parties in the development process, and provide for expedited approvals and improved compliance. ALTERNATIVES AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS No other alternatives were assessed. Staff note that following adoption, consistent with the requirements of the Community Planning Act, subsequent amendments that are proposed to the Subdivision and Building By -laws will be referred to the Committee by Common Council for the Committee's review and recommendation. ENGAGEMENT The One -Stop Development Shop Project has included extensive research and stakeholder engagement to create a suite of modernized, integrated development by -laws and development approval processes. This has included 65 stakeholder interviews, a review of 22 cities, 5 regional visits to municipal development departments, 8 focus sessions and 2 stakeholder engagement events. A series of stakeholder workshops was held in December 2014 which included PAC, the Heritage Development Board, the development industry and economic development agencies. Input was also gathered through an on -line survey through late -2014 and early -2015. Targeted engagement relating to the development of the new Subdivision and Drainage By -laws continued through 2015 with engagement sessions involving the region's development industry, external agencies involved with the land development process and City Staff in June 2015. These sessions provided valuable input into the by -law creation and modernization. Page 5 of 7 172 City of Saint John Building and Subdivision By -laws February 19, 2016 More recent stakeholder engagement has focused on the draft by -laws and has included the following sessions: • Staff Sessions — November 19, 2015 • Planning Advisory Committee & Heritage Development Board Session — November 25, 2015 • Development Industry Breakfast— November 26, 2015 • Economic Development Agencies Breakfast — November 27, 2015 • Workshop with Council — February 1, 2016 • Workshop with PAC — February 2, 2016 SIGNATURES AND CONTACT Prepared by: x1d Mark Reade, P.Eng., MCIP, RPP Senior Planner Contact: Mark Reade Phone: 506.674.4238 E -mail: mark.reade @saintjohn.ca Approved by: f J Jacqueline Hamilton, MURP, MCIP, RPP Commissioner Page 6 of 7 173 City of Saint John Building and Subdivision By -laws February 19, 2016 APPENDIX Submission 1: City of Saint John Subdivision By -law and Submission 2: A By -Law Respecting the Construction, Repair and Demolition of Buildings and Structures in the City of Saint John Submission 3: A By -Law Respecting Drainage in the City of Saint John Page 7 of 7 174 :tip The Subdivision By -law of The City of Saint John By -law Number C.P. 122 The City of Saint John New Brunswick 175 Arrete de lotissement de The City of Saint John Arrete numero C.P. 122 The City of Saint John Nouveau - Brunswick Table of Contents Table des matieres Part Description Page Partie Designation Page 1 Administration 1 1 Administration 1 2 Design Standards 29 2 Normes de conception 29 3 Land for Public Purposes 33 3 Terrains d'utilite publique 33 4 Streets, Utilities, and Other Facilities 37 4 Rues, services publics et autres 37 installations 5 Subdivision Agreements 44 5 Accords de lotissement 44 6 Subdivision Plan Approvals 48 6 Approbation des plans de lotissement 48 Schedule A: Fees 56 Annexe A: Droits 57 176 Part 1: Administration The Council of The City of Saint John, under the authority vested in it by the Community Planning Act, enacts as By -law Number C.P. 122, The Subdivision By -law of The City of Saint John, as follows: Title 1 This By -law may be cited as the "Subdivision By -law."

Public Parking Lots for Use During NEW Parking Bans OPEN OR CLOSED SESSION This matter is to be discussed in open session of Common Council. AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner /Dept. Head City Manager Michael Hugenholtz, P.Eng. Michael Hugenholtz, P.Eng. (Acting) Jeff Trail RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that this report be received and filed, and that this issue be referred to the 2017 General Fund Operating Budget discussions. In an attempt to provide better snow clearing during snow storms, Council approved the framework that allows staff to call a parking ban in the North - West -East areas of the City (commonly referred to as the NEW Parking Ban). This took the place of a winter parking ban that exempted certain streets in the City where there was a high number of vehicles parking on the street. Unlike the SCP Parking Ban, there are currently no arrangements to provide off - street parking for citizens in other areas of the City during these declared parking bans. This report provides some options to provide a limited amount of parking for the consideration of Council. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION That the matter regarding designated snow ban lots be referred to the City Manager for a report. STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT N/A 352 Spa REPORT In November 9, 2015 Council gave third reading to `Traffic By -Law Amendment — Winter On- Street Parking' that gave staff the ability to declare a parking ban in all areas of the city during snowstorms. So far this winter season, a total of five NEW Parking Bans have been declared. Unlike the SCP Parking Ban, the City does not currently make any off - street parking available for residents. As part of the process, the Parking Commission and Police are lined up to enforce these bans through ticketing and towing of vehicles left on the street. Experience so far this winter season has shown the NEW Parking Ban to be a success resulting in better outcomes with the snow being pushed back to the curb and improved efficiencies from operators not having to plow around vehicles left on the street. Staff and councillors have heard from some residents about the need to provide parking options so they are able to get their cars off the street. Staff have undertaken a review of the areas of the city that have high numbers of on- street parking. These typically coincide with the previously exempted streets under the old system. Staff then undertook to identify opportunities for off - street parking in these areas. The following parking areas were identified as easy opportunities to provide parking: The area along Market Place West where the blue bins used to be. This area can accommodate approximately 60 - 80 vehicles and is very close to an area with a prevalence of on- street parking. This area is planned for further development as a green space as part of the Market Place West Master Plan so it will not be available at some point in the future. Parking areas at Shamrock Park. The lots off of Visart Street and Albert Street can collectively accommodate approximately 75 vehicles and are close to the Old North End and Douglas Avenue /Clarendon Street areas that have a lot of on- street parking. Parking area at Rockwood Park by the Community Garden. This area can accommodate approximately 44 vehicles and is located near the Wright Street area. These are all areas owned by the City of Saint John and easily made available for use by nearby residents on nights when a NEW Parking Ban is declared. If Council determines that a higher level of service is warranted than provided through these options (i.e. more capacity, more convenient locations), staff could undertake to negotiate with private property owners to provide additional options although that could take a significant amount of staff resources to accomplish. 353 am SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES The main issue that would need to be addressed before these lots are made available is the snow clearing. There would have to be a commitment to having these lots cleared in advance of a NEW Parking Ban being declared. Typically this would occur at the time when crews are busy plowing off the streets. If resources were to be diverted off the street to clear these parking lots, there would be service implications in the form of longer timelines to plow public streets. An alternative could be to engage a contractor to plow these lots in advance of a ban, similar to the arrangement in place during SCP Parking Bans. Based on some preliminary inquiries, a contractor could be engaged to perform this plowing at a cost of approximately $750 per occurrence. Based on the anticipated number of NEW Snow Bans during an average winter, and making allowance for some additional signage and other communication, this plan could be implemented for a cost of approximately $ 12,000 annually. INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS Staff from the Saint John Parking Commission, Risk Management and Growth and Community Development were consulted during the preparation of this report.

Sand Cove Road Slope Failure - Update OPEN OR CLOSED SESSION This matter is to be discussed in open session of Common Council. AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner /Dept. Head City Manager Michael Hugenholtz, P.Eng. Michael Hugenholtz, P.Eng. (Acting) Jeff Trail RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that this report be received and filed. 1o:fMflu llsfui "JITILf►:iI Council is aware of the threat to Sand Cove Road due to an adjacent slope failure. Staff have recently received a final report from the engineering consultant looking at the situation and wish to update Council on the status and anticipated next steps. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION N/A STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT N/A m,0il;41 In early 2015 it was brought to staff's attention by local residents that there had been movement of the slope adjacent to the road on Sand Cove Road just west of McLaren's Beach Road that had resulted in a power pole needing to be relocated. As a proactive measure an engineering consultant was engaged to 355 Spa determine the stability of the slope and its implications for City infrastructure in the area. In general the scope of work included a survey of the slope as well as borehole testing and the installation of inclinometers and groundwater monitoring wells. The intent was to gain a better understanding of the scope and magnitude of the movements and the contributing factors to this situation. Soon after the monitoring commenced there was another significant slope failure that resulted in a steep drop -off directly adjacent to the road. As a precaution the road was reduced to a single lane through the affected area. A preliminary report was issued in March of 2015, and the report has recently been finalized including the observations from the monitoring period and has been attached to this report. Based on the soils testing and the results of the monitoring it appears as though this area is prone to slope failures and it is likely to continue in upcoming years. The contributing factors are a weak soils layer and erosion from wave action. These slope failures jeopardize the public infrastructure in the area as well as the private residences impacted. In addition to the roadway there are also water and sanitary sewer piping, and storm sewer piping. The roadway beyond the point of failure serves approximately half a dozen private residences, a cemetery, a gravel pit and the Irving Nature Park. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES Staff are in the process of examining various options to maintain access to the various homeowners, businesses and destinations beyond the area where the slope failure is occurring. One of these options may be to find an alternate route for the roadway. This option would involve land acquisition and the construction of a new road that by- passes the area of active failure. Staff have also engaged Fundy Engineering to examine the possibility of constructing a large berm or breakwater at the shore that would both reduce the erosion due to wave action and act as a counterweight to the slip failure mechanism. Their scope of work will be to determine if this is a feasible approach, what the likelihood of success might be, as well as the potential cost. A similar repair approach has been implemented by private property owners nearby many years ago. Although this approach potentially could be extended to protect private property in the area, staff are examining this option primarily from the standpoint of the protection of public infrastructure. Either of these options are likely to cost a significant amount of money and take some time to implement. There is no money in the 2016 General Capital Budget 356 -3- to support such a project. It is staff's intent to firm up cost estimates for any feasible option and present these for Council's consideration as part of the 2017 General Capital Budget discussion later this year. In the meantime staff will be meeting with local area residents and stakeholders to update them on the status of the investigation and anticipated next steps. Once the timing and details have been finalized Council will be notified.

Eng. RE: McLarens Beach Slope Stability Report McLarens Beach Road, Saint John, NB Dear Mr. Hugenholtz: Job #11052 February 2, 2016 Further to our report on the installation of water monitoring wells and casings for slope Inclinometer monitoring and Email report on March 16, 2015, please find below our observations and conclusions regarding slope stability at McLarens Beach with attention to City of Saint John infrastructure. Photograph #1 shows a narrow shoulder adjacent to a very steep slope. Photograph #1 — Steep Slope Adjacent to Road The site work was completed between January 6t" and 8t", 2015. The site work included the installation of a groundwater monitoring well and an inclinometer casing at two separate locations on the slope. Locations are noted on the attached site plan. The site work was supervised by Andy MacVey, P. Eng. of Fundy Engineering. This report discusses the Inclinometer observations, survey information and summarizes information from previous reports on McLarens Beach slope stability. 12 The subsurface material at the beach location was a reddish brown clayey Silt. The subsurface material at the mid slope location below the road was; sand and gravel over the reddish brown clayey Silt. The logs for the installation of the monitoring wells and the inclinometer casings are appended to this report are based on field observations of auger samples. Borehole logs which were previously completed in 2004 are also appended to this report give a more accurate description of soil types and characteristics. There a number of dwellings close to or in the area of subsidence. Across Sand Cove Road from the area of subsidence are a graveyard and residential properties. Four residences are located on Morton Lane off of McLarens Beach Road, at an elevation below Sand Cove Road. A dwelling at the corner of Sand Cove Road and McLarens Beach road was removed and the Inn on the Cove Inn was destroyed by fire. SITE CONDITIONS The edge of Sand Cove Road has exhibited signs of subsidence in the past. A hydro pole west of the intersection of Sand Cove Road and McLarens Beach Road had moved down the embankment and was replaced. The edge of the road above the recent mid slope monitoring well site is extremely steep as shown in Photograph #2 which shows evidence of recent slope movements just south of Sand Cove Road. Photograph #2 — Exposed soil 1 m and 2.5 m below top of slope Fundy Engineering Serving Our Clients' Needs First www.fundyeng.com 359 Job #11052 February 2, 2016 13 Previous evidence of slope movement included work carried out in 2004 to correct breaks in the potable waterline which supplied water to the residences on McLarens Beach. The line between the street supply and the residence has separated a number of times in the recent past. Two residences on the south - eastern side of Morton Lane have signs of extreme differential settlements and movements in the soils around the residences. The supports for the raised porch structure around one residence have moved to a point where the supports are very noticeably leaning away from vertical. The garage door of the attached garage will no longer close. There are numerous large cracks in the foundations of these two structures. Numerous cracks or fissures were observed in the area. The residence at 1351 Sand Cove Road, has had the soils at the north - eastern end of the structure subside to the point of exposing the underside of the concrete footings. The area which was a level walk out from the basement of the residence has dropped in elevation over 2.2 m. This area has been dressed with a rock fill. The extent of the slope failure was also extremely close to the Inn on the Cove. Photograph #3 — Rotational failure of previously constructed berm at bottom of slope. Photograph #3 shows a rotational failure in the previously constructed berm. The berm was placed on the toe of the slope that was failing in front of the Inn on the Cove. The work was carried out decades ago by previous owners when it was a single family residence. The purpose of the berm was to protect the property from slope failures. Fundy Engineering Serving Our Clients' Needs First www.fundyeng.com 360 Job #11052 February 2, 2016 a Geological Setting The area has layers of sand and gravel from a former beach formation and silts and clays deposited during the later stages of the last glaciation period. The deposits are over either Pennsylvanian Volcanics to the south or Pennsylvanian Sedimentary formations to the north. Bedrock can be observed as low hills rising above the glacial deposits surrounding the site or rocky bluffs facing the Bay of Fundy. The soils in this area originated from glacial fluvial outwash. The sands and gravels may have been reworked in a marine terrace setting when relative sea levels were higher. The near shore is considered an unconsolidated bluff, non- resistant to erosion. Past Site Geotechnical Investigations In addition to the recent site work noted above, there was a site investigation consisted of a topographical survey and borehole drilling program in March 2004. Seven boreholes were drilled to collect soil samples and record groundwater levels. Boreholes were positioned to provide cross - sections of the slope and allow for the analysis of the soil stratigraphy. Sampling and testing was carried out at close intervals in all of the boreholes. Three boreholes were put down at the top of the slope, and three Boreholes were also put down between the toe of the escarpment and mid -tide of the beach. Bedrock was not encountered in the boreholes. Detailed logs for the soils encountered and the sampling and testing carried out in 2004 are given on the attached borehole records. Locations and elevations of the boreholes were surveyed by Fundy Engineering. The elevations are given with respect to geodetic data. SOIL PROFILE The strata encountered in the boreholes are described in detail below, and on the borehole records. There were four soil types encountered at this site. Predominantly the soils consist of Sands or Sand and Gravels over firm to very soft Clays. Compact to dense brown silty Sand and Gravel - The first stratum encountered was a compact to very dense brown silty Sand and Gravel. In all boreholes at the Sand Cove Road elevation a sand and gravel was observed and forms a part of glacial fluvial outwash that may have been reworked by wave action. This material was encountered in boreholes 1, 2, 3 Fundy Engineering Serving Our Clients' Needs First www.fundyeng.com 361 JOO 47 7 UbY February 2, 2016 15 and also in borehole 6, which is immediately below the escarpment and at the location of the mid -slope groundwater and slope indicator installation. This material ranged in thickness from 5.18 to 6.10 meters at the road elevation and 8.23 at Borehole 6. In Boreholes 1, 2 & 3, seventeen standard penetration tests (SPTs) were carried out ranging from 11 to 61 with an average of 29 and were assigned a relative density of compact to very dense. Borehole 6 had 9 SPTs with an average of 11 and was therefore assigned a relative density of compact. This may be in part due to the reworking of this material as it is in the failure zone. Gravely Sand - Beneath the Sand and Gravel in boreholes 1, 2, 3 and borehole 2 (2015) a Sand or gravely Sand was observed, this material ranged in thickness from 1.07 to 2.74 m. The SPT results ranged from 15 to 98 with an average of 25, this material was therefore assigned a relative density of compact to very dense. The moisture content of this material was determined to be 23.6 %. Clayey Silts - The most significant strata noted at this site were layers of clayey Silts. The clayey Silts were encountered immediately under the Sands and Gravels and Sands in boreholes 1, 2, 3, 6 and the mid slope groundwater and slope indicator installation (BH #2 - 2015) and at the surface in boreholes 4, 5 and the top of beach groundwater and slope indicator installation location (BH #1- 2015). Clayey Silt - Firm Seventeen SPTs were carried out in this material with an average "N" value of 8, blow counts for this material ranged from 6 to 16. This material was encountered in Boreholes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6. Borehole 2 was terminated in this firm clayey Silt. The thickness of the firm clayey Silt in Boreholes 1, 3 and 4 was 4.28 m. In Borehole 6 the firm clayey Silt was 0.6 m thick immediately below the sand and gravel. It was also encountered at the end of this Borehole as 0.9 m thick. Moisture contents in this material ranged from 19.0% to 24.1% with an average of 22.1%. Plastic and liquid limits were 6 and 26 respectively with a natural moisture content of 20 %. Clayey Silt — Soft to Very Soft This material was encountered beneath the firm clayey Silt in all Boreholes except BH 2 which was terminated in the firm clayey Silt, although, similar in nature to the material noted above, this material had extremely low SPT values ranging from 0 to 4, with an average of 1. The moisture contents ranged from 23.5% to 34.0% with an average of 27% or approximately 6% higher than the Fundy Engineering Serving Our Clients' Needs First www.fundyeng.com 362 JOO 47 7 UbY February 2, 2016 E firm clay Silt. The plastic and liquid limits were 15 and 24.5 respectively with the natural moisture content at 24% or very close to the liquid limit. This material was also observed although not indicated by the Atterburg limits to be very plastic in nature. BEDROCK Bedrock was not encountered in the boreholes. GROUNDWATER In the original boreholes groundwater was encountered at relatively significant depths, or not at all in 2004. Water depths were measured at 14 and 10.5 meters in Boreholes 1 and 2 respectively, which were located at the Sand Cove Road level. In Boreholes 5 and 6 which were located below the escarpment, groundwater was encountered at depths of 3.3 and 1.9 meters respectively. These results were influenced by the slow response time of the clayey Silts encountered and the method of measurement. The monitoring wells installed in January 2015 have shown water levels higher than previous levels, but are more reliable because of the monitoring well construction. The well construction results of groundwater levels are shown in Table #1. D. .. ..

Fundy Engineering Serving Our Clients' Needs First www.fundyeng.com 363 Job #11052 February 2, 2016 Page 17 Photograph #4 - Artesian condition At this location the over laying sands and gravels are discharging water at the surface because the silty Clay is very close to the surface. The low permeability of the silty Clay keeps the water above it and results in a perched water level. FAILURE MECHANISM The factors contributing to slope failure at this location are typical for this coastal setting. Areas near the site with similar conditions include; Duck Cove, Taylor Peninsula, Sea Street and Red Head. This slope has experienced numerous slides in the past. The slope has numerous tension cracks which indicate previous failures. Less than 20 years ago there was a slide on the adjacent property to the east. There is also evidence of previous failures in front of the Inn on the Cove property. A recent walk over of the site (January 2015) shows there are new tension cracks in the western areas. The existing homes near the beach elevation show evidence of previous movement. Survey property pins, hydro poles and water lines have moved. The principal contributing factors to slope failures at this site are a high energy erosion site, weak unconsolidated soils and coastal subsidence due to post glacial isostatic rebound. Material is moved from the foreshore by wave action. As it moves toward the sea, the lateral drift currents transport the sediment load away from the area to the east. This condition is most prevalent during winter storms. In other words by spring the maximum rate of erosion has removed a significant amount of material from the foreshore. The site has a layer of weak soil. At depths of 6 to 10 m the clayey Silt has a high water content and low strength. Over this layer is a similar material which has a higher strength and lower moisture content. The upper clayey Silt has had a Fundy Engineering Serving Our Clients' Needs First www.fundyeng.com 364 JOO 47 7 UbY February 2, 2016 similar method of deposition, but has become dried or desiccated. The clayey Silts act as a confining layer for groundwater. Coastal subsidence due to post glacial isostatic rebound results in approximately 30 cm of submergence per century in the Saint John area. The rebound is caused by the previous upwards movement of the earth's crust, after the removal of the weight of the glacial ice, going past a neutral or steady state condition and is now moving downward to return to a neutral position. This causes the effect of a relative rise in sea water level. The above combination of site conditions results in successive block failures which move material into the foreshore where it is removed by the wave action and lateral drift to the east. This cycle will continue to repeat itself. The average rate of erosion for this area has been estimated in a 1978 report by Hunter & Associates as 0.46 m per year. It should be noted that although this is the average, the rate in any given year may be significantly more or less than this. SUMMARY SOILS INVESTIGATIONS The borehole investigations have returned information regarding the types of soils located in the failure zone of the slope found between the Sand Cove Road and the tidal waters of the Bay of Fundy. The groundwater level observed in the boreholes, the artisan water condition at the top of the beach and the increase of moisture content with depth of the underlying clayey Silt indicate that high pore water pressures are the result of and resulting in block failure in this area. SUMMARY OF SLOPE INDICATIOR AND SURVEY DATA It was anticipated that the Groundwater and Slope Indicator installations would be monitored for one year with a final report issued at that time. However, since changes were noted that would indicate possible damage to infrastructure from the failure of the slope, an interim report was issued in March 2015 to communicate the data collected to that point. This slope failure resulted in damage to the slope indicator casings. The damage eliminated the ability to take any additional readings. Additional information was collected by monitoring the elevation and locations of the slope indicator casings. The attached graphs of the slope indicator results show the results of movement relative to the first set of readings taken on January 12, 2015. Readings were taken an additional three times at approximately two week intervals. There is an obvious failure surface as shown on the Cumulative Displacement Curves at approximately 12 m at both locations. The next data shows the Vector Plot and indicates the direction of the slope movement. At both locations the Fundy Engineering Serving Our Clients' Needs First www.fundyeng.com 365 JOO 47 7 UbY February 2, 2016 K movement is approximately 45 degrees relative to Sand Cove Road or parallel to McLaren's Beach Road. The third set of graphs is the Time Plot which shows the slope movement relative to time. At the hill location the movement has been 64 mm since the base reading. At the beach location the movement has been 107 mm since the base reading. There has been an increase in the rate of movement noted in the last reading at both locations. This may be a response to the typical increase in erosion of the beach due to winter storms. When converted to an annual average rate from January 12 to the last set of readings total displacement would be 403 mm (15.9 ") and 674 mm (26.5 ") at the hill and beach locations respectfully. Survey data was acquired until July 8t", 2015. At this point the gross movements had stopped. Based on the attached plots of vertical and horizontal movements at the beach and the hill the failure had stopped by the end of May 2015. This was also confirmed in the plots of rate of movement. These are significant movements and are part of what are continuous periodic movements. The present escarpment at the edge of Sand Cove road is an accumulation of slope failures that have resulted movements that meters in magnitude.

Prosecution of properties being used as commercial parking lots OPEN OR CLOSED SESSION This matter is to be discussed in open session of Common Council. AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner /Dept. Head City Manager Orlando A. Lineros John Nugent Jeff Trail RECOMMENDATION That Common Council directs Staff of Growth & Community Development Services to report back on properties located at 171 and 173 Germain Street after a subsequent inspection is carried out on the 1St day of April, 2016. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We had been directed to initiate prosecution proceedings against the owners of properties being used as commercial parking lots. Prosecution proceedings concluded with convictions against property owners and maximum fines imposed for all properties. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION At a meeting of the Common Council of the City of Saint John held on the 13th day of October, 2015, the following resolution was adopted: RESOLVED that as recommended by the City Manager in the submitted report M &C 2015 -209: Parking Lot Compliance Program Update, Amy Poffenroth is hereby authorized and directed to lay Informations in the Provincial Court of New Brunswick to initiate prosecutions against the owner(s) of the following properties respectively, each of which is used as a "parking lot, commercial" in contravention of the City's Zoning By -Law: PID 39966, being Civic Number 7 Dorchester Street; PID 10991, being Civic Number 171 Germain Street; PID 11007, being Civic Number 173 Germain Street; and PID 38315, being Civic Number 13 Garden Street. .; sa STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT This aligns with Common Council's mandate and objective under the Parking Lot Compliance Program. REPORT On February 11, 2016, we proceeded with the trial of three property owners for using their properties as commercial parking lots in contravention of the Zoning By -Law. Three Informations were laid against Paul Daeres, one for each of his properties, 7 Dorchester Street, 171 Germain Street and 173 Germain Street. Two other Informations were laid, one against Litsa Evelyn Daeres and another one against John Paul Daeres, both owners of the same property, 13 Garden Street. The Provincial Court Judge found that all three property owners have violated the provisions of the Zoning By -Law and therefore have committed an offence punishable under Part II of the Provincial Offences Procedure Act as a category B offence. A category B offence carries a fine of not less than $140 and not more than $640. The judge imposed the maximum fine in all counts after taking into account the financial advantage that property owners have received by renting or leasing parking spaces in contravention of the Zoning By -Law. The total amount of the fines imposed was $2,660.00. The deadline imposed by the Judge for payment of the fines was February 29, 2016. I've been informed by the Provincial Court's Clerk that the full amount of the fines has already been paid. The properties located at 7 Dorchester Street and 13 Garden Street have been barricaded and vehicles are no longer being parked there. However, the properties located at 171 and 173 Germain Street remain open. The owner of such properties, Paul Daeres, informed Amy Poffenroth, Deputy Commissioner, that he'll be providing notices to tenants to vacate both parking lots by the end of March. Therefore, Mrs. Poffenroth advised Mr. Daeres that her department will be inspecting both properties on April 1st to ensure the lots are no longer being used as parking lots. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES Eliminate the high concentration of parking compliance issues in the Uptown area. 399 -3- INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS N/A ATTACHMENTS N/A X11 Q a fji a'1 COUNCIL REPORT M &C No. M &C 2016 -51 Report Date February 29, 2016 Meeting Date March 07, 2016 Service Area Transportation and Environment Services His Worship Mayor Mel Norton and Members of Common Council: SUBJECT: Revised 2016 Sports Field User Rates OPEN OR CLOSED SESSION This matter is to be discussed in open session of Common Council. AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner /Dept. Head City Manager Tim O'Reilly Michael Hugenholtz Jeff Trail GZ�i%]i ��iTr�.�l•7 rrr•1Pi Your City Manager recommends that Common Council approve the 2016 hourly and tournament (daily) rates for sports field rentals in the City of Saint John (inclusive of HST) as follows: • Class A Adult hourly $ 33.28 • Class A Youth hourly $ 15.30 • Shamrock Artificial Adult hourly $ 63.25 • Shamrock Artificial Youth hourly $ 38.50 • Class B Adult hourly $ 21.97 • Class B Youth hourly $ 4.25 • Class C Adult hourly $ 20.02 • Class C Youth hourly $ 3.74 • Class A Adult daily $266.24 • Class A Youth daily $122.40 • Shamrock Artificial Adult daily $506.00 • Shamrock Artificial Youth daily $308.00 • Class B Adult daily $175.76 • Class B Youth daily $ 34.00 • Class C Adult daily $160.16 • Class C Youth daily $ 29.92 The purpose of this report is to demonstrate how City staff proposes to change sports field rental rates for 2016 to generate $53,000 in revenues, to account for a resulting $40,000 deficit, and to manage associated revenues and expenses in future years. The approved 2016 General Fund Operating Budget included a 401 910a $93,000 increase in revenues. Common Council did not approve recommended rental rates at its February 22 meeting that would have generated the budgeted revenue and referred the matter back to the City Manager. REPORT City staff understands revised sports field user rates need to consider the following from the questions and comments of members of Council as part of its February 22 referral decision: • A more gradual increase in revenues over multiple years is preferred, • Additional revenues generated from youth sports should be less than revenues generated from adults, • City staff advise how the deficit in the 2016 General Fund Operating budget resulting from reduced revenues would be managed. City staff now proposes a $53,000 increase in revenues from sports field users in 2016 instead of the $93,000 budgeted increase. The revised rates recommended in this report reflect this revenue projection. The following table shows the 2015 approved rates, 2016 rates proposed February 22, currently proposed 2016 rates, percent change in rates from 2015 to 2016 (currently proposed) and the increased cost per player per hour: Field Class/ 2015 2016 2016 % Increase Hourly cost Age Category Hourly Proposed Proposed between 2015 increase per Rates Hourly Hourly approved and player (2015 Rates Rates 2016 currently to 2016 (Feb 22) (current) proposed current)* Class A Adult $ 25.60 $ 40.96 $ 33.28 30% $0.77 Class A Youth $ 9.00 $ 20.70 $ 15.30 70% $0.63 Shamrock $ 55.00 $ 66.00 $ 63.25 $0.83 Artificial Adult 15% Shamrock $ 35.00 $ 42.00 $ 38.50 10% $0.35 Artificial Youth Class B Adult $ 16.90 $ 27.04 $ 21.97 30% $0.51 Class B Youth $ 2.50 $ 7.50 $ 4.25 70% $0.18 Class C Adult 1 $ 15.40 1 $ 24.64 1 $ 20.02 30% 1 $0.47 Class C Youth 1 $ 2.20 1 $ 6.60 1 $ 3.74 70% 1 $0.16 * Assumes 10 players Approximately 38% of the additional revenue from sports field user rate increases (as currently proposed for 2016) would come from youth. The remaining 62% would come from adults. Eight percent (8 %) of the costs required to operate and maintain sports fields would be borne by users of the sports fields with the currently proposed rates 402 am with the remaining costs being borne by taxpayers generally. In 2015, 7% of resources came from users. For comparison, 43% of the resources required to operate and maintain the four City managed rinks would come from users in the 2016 -2017 season. The following table shows the tentatively planned field rates for 2017 through 2019 as well as the 2016 proposed rates for reference. This plan assumes a further $10,000 increase in revenues from field rentals in each of these three future years ($30,000 in total) with the remaining $10,000 of the $93,000 coming from other revenues or expense reduction opportunities. Field Class/ Age 2016 2017 Rates 2018 Rates 2019 Rates Category Rates (Tentative) (Tentative) (Tentative) (Currently Proposed) Class A Adult $ 33.28 $ 35.84 $ 39.68 $ 42.24 Hourly Class A Youth $ 15.30 $ 16.20 $ 17.10 $ 18.90 Hourly Shamrock Artificial $ 63.25 $ 68.75 $ 71.50 $ 74.25 Adult Hourly Shamrock Artificial $ 38.50 $ 42.00 $ 43.75 $ 45.50 Youth Hourly Class B Adult $ 21.97 $ 23.66 $ 26.20 $ 27.89 Hourly Class B Youth $ 4.25 $ 4.50 $ 5.50 $ 6.25 Hourly Class C Adult $ 20.02 $ 21.56 $ 23.87 $ 25.41 Hourly Class C Youth $ 3.74 $ 3.96 $ 4.84 $ 5.50 Hourly Class A Adult Daily $ 266.24 $ 286.72 $ 317.44 $ 337.92 Class A Youth Daily $ 122.40 $ 129.60 $ 136.80 $ 151.20 Shamrock Artificial $ 506.00 $ 550.00 $ 572.00 $ 594.00 Adult Daily Shamrock Artificial $ 308.00 $ 336.00 $ 350.00 $ 364.00 Youth Daily Class B Adult Daily $ 175.76 $ 189.28 $ 209.56 $ 223.08 Class B Youth Daily $ 34.00 $ 36.00 $ 44.00 $ 50.00 Class C Adult Daily $ 160.16 $ 172.48 $ 190.96 $ 203.28 Class C Youth Daily $ 29.92 $ 31.68 $ 38.72 $ 44.00 Play SJ Context Other questions and comments of members of Council at its February 22 meeting can be seen in the context of Play SJ including: • Right- sizing of the City's inventory of sports fields • The cost - benefit of investment in sports fields managed by others • Collaboration with sports field user groups 403 -4- Right- sizing the City's sports fields will continue to be implemented as planned in Play SJ. Over the past 5 years, 10 sports field have been decommissioned. It is recognized in Play SJ and reinforced through recent analysis of 2015 usage statistics that a further reduction of the City's 36 remaining sports fields is feasible. A number of concurrent processes such as enhanced communications with user groups, clarified joint use and management agreements with the School District, developed allocation policy for "prime time" use, and identified alternate service delivery models are required prior to deciding which further fields could be decommissioned. Implementation will also continue to be benchmarked against Plan SJ. The right- sizing of various recreational assets including sports fields and playgrounds is primarily to increase the investment and quality of a smaller number of assets as planned in Play SJ. Staff is focusing on the right- sizing plan of playgrounds currently. It is also important to recognize the City's collaboration with the School District includes recreation assets such as playgrounds, rinks, and community centres in addition to sports fields. A holistic approach to collaborating on use and investment in these assets is required. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES With $53,000 of the budgeted $93,000 increase in revenues coming from sports field rentals with the currently proposed rates, a $40,000 deficit in the 2016 General Fund Operating budget results. Given the challenges associated with approving this year's budget there are no easy ways to find this shortfall. Staff will plan to delay replacement of two sports field complex maintenance Utility Vehicles until 2017 resulting in $15,000 of the $40,000 deficit. Higher repair costs and service impacts would only result if maintenance of the existing equipment is needed. The remaining revenue shortfall is planned to be offset by under - expenditures to the City's snow clearing budgets. Although snow clearing costs for January and February are clearly below budget as a result of a "light" winter, there remains the uncertainty of the rest of this winter and the beginning of the following winter to manage. The combination of the currently proposed 2016 sports field user rates and described expense reduction plan are projected to offset the $93,000 in revenues approved in the 2016 General Fund Operating Budget. M -5- INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS On February 26, City staff communicated the revised and currently recommended 2016 rates to 40 sports field user contacts for feedback, being the same contacts engaged ahead of the previously proposed rates of February 22. Staff would be prepared to verbally update Council with feedback received from these contacts at the March 7 Council meeting. 405 Evans, Richard To: External - CommonClerk Subject: RE: proposed sports field renatl rates From: Taylor, Jonathan On Behalf Of External - CommonClerk Sent: March -02 -16 1:13 PM To: Evans, Richard Subject: FW: proposed sports field renatl rates Would you please include this on the March 7t" agenda? From: silhunt @aliant [mailto:silhunt @nb.sympatico.ca] Sent: March -02 -16 12:15 PM To: External - CommonClerk Subject: proposed sports field renatl rates Good afternoon. I understand that the new Sports field rental rates are again on Council's agenda for Monday evening. we would like to have the following response included in the Council notes if possible. I realize we may be a day late, but also note that we just received notice of the new proposal late Friday afternoon (Feb 26) and received some clarification of same late Monday (Feb 29) Thank you for your consideration. To Mayor and Council On behalf of the Saint John Alpines Senior Baseball team, I am once again voicing concerns and questions re the revised sports field rental rates for 2016, and forward. First, thank you for Council for taking time to consider the input from users, at your Feb 22 meeting. We believe it was important to "press pause" , as you did. We have been advised our rates are now "only " going up 30% instead of the original 60 %. And we have received some clarification that the objective is to get to the originally proposed increases in the next couple of seasons. This was an important question to have answered. We don't like the answer, but at least we now have one. Briefly, our comments are the same as we placed before. 1. The rate of increase is still too high. We understand that these new rates will put us among the highest in not just the region, but in the country. 1 406 2. What increased value /service can we expect to receive for the increased fees. We have yet to receive an answer to that question, although Mr. O'Reilly has been quoted as saying the fields are in good shape, we would take issue with that. The actual playing surface at Memorial Field, where we play, is slightly improved, no argument. But when we talk about the field, we are referring to the whole facility ........ not only the playing surface. In comparison to the other "fields" in our league, (Moncton, Fredericton, Chatham and Charlottetown) we are lacking, yet paying a premium price. 3. I would re -state my comment from my previous letter, given that Sports Tourism is on the radar for the City, Memorial Baseball field does not currently meet spec to host a national tournament. Nor do we have an adequate secondary field, which is also a bid requirement. 4. Certainly the impact on youth sports is very important. We are not commenting on the specifics, as that is not our area of involvement, but we recognize that without the youth "feeder" system, we have no senior baseball in this city. Finally. we would look forward to an opportunity to discuss our concerns with City officials. There has been reference to forming a committee of field users to enable ongoing discussion, and we would welcome that at such time as it happens. Thank you for your consideration Terre Hunter on behalf of Saint John Alpines Senior Baseball team Kevin Ferguson, David Reid, Yves Parent ......... board members and executive. 2 407 Q , ifjio K\ COUNCIL REPORT M &C No. 2016 -59 Report Date March 02, 2016 Meeting Date March 07, 2016 Service Area Public Safety Services His Worship Mayor Mel Norton and Members of Common Council SUBJECT: Regional Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Renewal Agreement OPEN OR CLOSED SESSION This matter is to be discussed in open session of Common Council. AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner /Dept. Head City Manager Kevin Clifford Kevin Clifford, Fire Chief Jacqueline Hamilton (acting in the absence of Jeff Trail) RECOMMENDATION The adoption of the following resolution is recommended: RESOLVED That the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute the attached renewal agreement with the Province of New Brunswick respecting the delivery of regional hazardous materials emergency response services in areas outside the City's boundaries. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to seek Common Council approval to renew the City's agreement with the Province of New Brunswick (the "Province ") tc facilitate regional hazardous materials emergency response services. The City of Saint John Hazardous Materials Response Unit was first established over twenty -five years ago in response to the expanding hazard /risk profile of the City of Saint John. Since its inception the Saint John Fire Department Hazardous Materials Response unit has acquired, and sustained the critical equipment and skill sets necessary to mitigate an emergency response involving the release of hazardous materials. Indeed the City's hazardous materials emergency response unit has successfully mitigated numerous incidents within our municipal boundaries. E1: sa Recognizing the expertise inherent to the local fire service, the Province solicited collaboration on this highly specialized response competence to address its own gap in responding to hazardous materials incidents. To this end, Common Council at its meeting of January 30, 2006, authorized the first hazardous materials emergency response agreement with the Province of New Brunswick. The Agreement came into effect on May 26, 2006 and is now ready to be renewed. The previous agreement provided that the City received an annual stand -by fee of $70,000 in addition to full re- imbursement (plus) on any incident response. The previous agreement also provided a revenue opportunity respecting the training of nearby regional first responders. The proposed renewal agreement provides an increase stand -by fee of $95,000 annually with an inflationary adjustment over the 11 year term. The renewal agreement also maintains full re- imbursement (plus) on any incident response and continues to provide the revenue opportunity through the training of nearby regional first responders. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION Common Council at its meeting of January 30, 2006, authorized the first hazardous materials emergency response agreement with the Province. The Agreement came into effect on May 26, 2006. F��:L�I x�IC�1 1 �C�IJIuI�Pi� The implementation and sustenance of a competent hazardous materials response capability is critical to Common Council's priorities in that the protection of our industrial infrastructure helps to ensure the economic health of our community. A secure and safe integration of industry and community provides confidence to our citizens (both residential and corporate /commercial) as they make Saint John their community of choice. REPORT Since its inception the Saint John Fire Department Hazardous Materials Response Team has attained provincial, national, and international recognition on its demonstrated response competence. Organizationally, every Saint John firefighter is trained to the awareness and operational levels of hazardous materials competence. Approximately 50 Saint John Fire Fighters have been trained to the "Hazardous Materials Technician Level" per the National Fire Protection Association Standard ( "NFPA ") 472. At this level of training, first responders are able to initiate offensive procedures provided the Incident Action Plan (as defined by the Incident Commander) allows it to be done safely. Offensive procedures include the donning of specialized protective attire, the M am use of air monitoring devices, and possibly the mitigation and handling of the compromising hazardous material. The Saint John Fire Department Hazardous Materials Response Unit has responded successfully to numerous sites throughout our Province as part of the previous provincial agreement, including Plaster Rock, St Stephen, as well as downtown Moncton. Furthermore and on the issue of skills competence one of our Platoon Chiefs /Instructors (Brian Wilson) serves as a member of the Canadian contingent (on a UN initiative) extending response capability across the globe, with the most recent training program being provided in Jordan. Most recently, six Saint John Firefighters have received advanced technician certification to NFPA 472 Chapter 16 "Flammable Liquids Bulk Storage Specialty ". The proposed renewal agreement provides an 11 year term (retroactive to April 15t 2015) with an increased standby fee of $95,000 per annum protected by an inflationary escalator over the course of the agreement's duration. Full response cost and a separate revenue opportunity from training neighbouring fire services remains in place per schedule A and C of the agreement. aNAI VCIC REGIONAL RESPONSE TEAM SERVES PROVINCIAL RESPONSE NEED: The risk profile within the City dictates that the Saint John Fire Department maintains a hazardous materials response competence. This competence requires significant commitment in time, personnel as well as financial resources. The Stand -by fee associated with this agreement is a great example how Provincial finances can support regional needs. The Provincial investment in a Regional Response has been a huge success the people of New Brunswick, and furthermore the establishment of two heavy teams ensures redundancy and depth of response. The efficiency and effectiveness of this response model could certainly be replicated to serve other emergency response gaps in the Province. PROPOSED AGREEMENT: Scout Team The new contract introduces a Scout Team response as a means for more efficient and effective deployment to those potential hazardous materials calls where the nature of the incident is undetermined. The Scout Team is an immediate deployment of two hazardous materials technicians to those incident reports where the Provincial Hazardous Materials Coordinator has incomplete information. The Scout Team will be able to mobilize in a much quicker manner than the twelve person Heavy Team. The "Scout Team" will be dispatched to the scene of a potential hazardous material incident to perform initial assessment and provide support to local responders. The Scout Team will confirm with the 410 -4- Provincial Hazardous Materials Coordinator whether the Heavy Team needs to be deployed to the incident. No additional vehicles or equipment will be required by the City to undertake the tasks of the proposed "Scout Team." Heavy Team The Provincial Hazardous Materials Coordinator will maintain the ability to call on the Heavy Team if indeed information is clear that the Heavy Team is required. The "Heavy Team" will consist of a response of twelve hazardous materials technicians as provided in the previous agreement. Response Area: The response area of the new agreement is consistent with the response area of the original Regional Hazardous Materials Response Agreement, being all of Southern New Brunswick and parts of Eastern New Brunswick up to and including the City of Moncton, the U. S. Border at St. Stephen to the Nova Scotia border, Baie St. Ann to the north and Petersville Hill to the west. The Province will retain the right to mobilize either of the heavy teams if indeed it deems there is an operational need. This was the case with respect to the Province reaching to Saint John in the recent Waspke (Plaster Rock) train derailment. The City of Saint John is in a good position to respond to any of the locations that the Province needs. The response fee schedule does provide for a net revenue gain after expenses are taken in to consideration. Key Terms: The key terms of the proposed agreement are as follows: • The agreement commences on the date that the City of Saint John signs the document and terminates on or about March 31, 2026. • Payment of the $95,000 stand -by fee is retroactive to April 1" 2015 • The Saint John Fire Department must update and maintain an operational plan that will be submitted annually to the Province for review and modification (if necessary). • The Saint John Fire Department is to ensure that its training program for the regional HazMat response team meets National Fire Protection Association and Provincial standards. • The Saint John Fire Department is to deliver (in cooperation with the appropriate local authorities) hazardous materials emergency response 411 -5- services as requested by the Province, in accordance to established service standards and its operational plan. • The Province will pay an annual service fee of $95,000 over the 11 year term of the agreement. The service fee will be indexed as outlined in scheduled A (A). • The Province will provide a Guaranteed Response Costs to the City for a Hazardous Materials Response outside of its municipal boundaries per schedule A(B) starting at a rate of $10,313 for a four hour response within a radius of 50 km. o Payments for response services shall be as defined in paragraphs B, C, D and E of schedule A. o The schedule of payments can be renegotiated if the municipality is not recovering all of its incurred expenses. • The municipality is responsible for the procurement and maintenance of its HazMat fleet. • The municipality continues to utilize the assets outlined in Schedule B (being a trailer equipped with hazardous material response equipment and devices, valued at approximately $250,000 including the trailer). SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES The Saint John Fire Department must maintain an efficient and effective HazMat team for its own risk profile. The proposed Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Services agreement renewal will afford Saint John the opportunity to sustain its hazardous materials response service (one of the six council approved fire services) at a fraction of the cost that would be required if not for the collaboration. Indeed the Service Based Budget for 2016 provides that the hazardous materials emergency response service expenditure will equate to $134,564. The Provincial Hazardous Material contract provides a revenue amount (95,000 + 12,000) that equates to nearly 80% of the cost of the City's Hazardous Materials Response service and provides an opportunity for further revenue net of expenses on actual response. In addition to the revenue opportunity as afforded through the collaboration with the Province, the acquisition of the basic, as well as advanced hazardous materials emergency response skills has presented an additional revenue opportunity through the RCMP National Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear and Explosives (CBRNE) Response Team training delivery project; where we most recently submitted an invoice for over $13,000.00. 412 -6- Click here to enter text.

For each fiscal year of this agreement, where the Municipality has demonstrated it has met the Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Standards set out by the Province, the Province shall, on the 1St day of April, July, October and January, remit twenty -five (25) percent of the annual service fee to the Municipality for the purpose of assisting in the development, maintenance and capacity of Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Services. In addition, upon completion of regional training as outlined in Schedule "C ", the Province will remit up to a maximum of $12,000.00 annually to the Municipality. An indexing allowance for the Service Fee shall be determined on the 1 st day of April for the following contract year. The base service fee of $95,000 shall vary at a rate of 0.5 times the variance of a captains' negotiated hourly rate. The captains' new hourly rate shall be the higher union negotiated rate between all municipalities providing Hazmat services. All "new service fee" calculations will be indexed off of the base rate of $43.43 Example: Current Base New Hourly Variance Increase to Service New Service Fee Service Hourly Rate 12 Hour Fee Response Fee Rate Response Response Response Response $95,000 $43.43 $50.00 (50/43.43) — 1 = $95,000 x (0.5 x 0.1513) 102,185.69 200km 300km 50 km 0.1513 =$7185 300 km B) Where the Municipality has rendered a service entirely outside of its municipal boundaries, the Municipality shall issue an invoice to the Province for its contract services in accordance with the following table which reflects the Guaranteed Response Cost for materials, salaries and travel. The agreed hourly rate used to calculate "Heavy Team" costs will be at 1 '/2 times a captains' hourly rate, and be the higher union negotiated rate between all municipalities providing Hazmat services for such position.

If the Province does not have to take action to recover the Full Response Cost from the responsible party it will pay the amount listed in Section B and, upon receiving the full amount from the responsible party, it will pay the balance of the Full Response Cost. If the responsible party does not initially pay the entire amount of the Full Response Cost and the Province has to take action to recover the cost, half of the balance of the Full Response Cost will be paid to the Municipality and the other half will be retained by the Province. If the responsible party does not pay the entire amount of the Full Response Cost and the Province does not take action to recover the cost, any money collected over and above the Guaranteed Response Cost will be split equally between the Province and the Municipality. D) Where the Municipality has rendered a service entirely outside of its municipal boundaries, the Municipality shall issue an invoice to the Province for its contract services in accordance with the following table which reflects the Guaranteed Response Cost for materials, salaries and travel.

As we move forward to contract for additional HazMat coverage for each Heavy Team, we would expect that the same consideration towards training be given to the other regions of the province. We understand the burden of training cost and man - hours; and agree to compensate for training provided to the Scout Teams and Fire Departments of each region in a Heavy Team's area of responsibility. The province will pay for a maximum of two (2) training sessions per year within each Heavy Team area of responsibility. Each Association must receive a training session once every three years. Recommended training sessions are as follows: Year one: Fredericton: North West and Chaleur Associations Year two: Fredericton: Central Valley and Acadian Peninsula Associations Year three: Fredericton: Capital District and Miramichi Associations Year one; Saint John: Fundy, South East Associations (South Part) Year two: Saint John: Royal, South East Association (North Part) Year three: Saint John: None Training should include: The first session is intended for the Scout Team members. The training objectives should aim to familiarize the regional Scout Teams with the protocols used by the responding Heavy Teams and the information required when a Heavy Team deploys in their respective region. In addition, a hands -on training session with the most current equipment carried by the Heavy Teams should be included in the training session. Whereas all members of the Heavy and Scout Teams are expected to be at the level of HazMat Technician, a minimum of time is required to review any changes pending a HazMat operation. 433 20 The second session of training is to initiate and familiarize local fire departments of each association with the equipment carried and used in a HazMat Incident and to develop local contacts with the local Fire Chiefs. In addition, the training session will elaborate on the expectation of the service provided by the Heavy HazMat Teams and what is expected from the local Fire Departments supporting the Heavy Team once on site. The training should provide explanations on the authority and liability protection of the Scout and Heavy Team that are under contract with the province when responding to a HazMat Incident. Small scale exercises involving hazardous material shall be carried out in order to ensure that the protocol is understood by both the Scout Team and Fire Department members. In order to provide training to the volunteer fire departments, training must be offered at their convenience during scheduled week -end training blocks. The following is a proposed course schedule and agenda for the participating Heavy Team in order to deliver the program in the most efficient manner. The team would consist of four members traveling to the responding region. The four members of a Heavy Team would travel to their destination on Friday afternoon arriving before supper to set up the classroom provided by the host fire department. The team leader would prepare a 2 hour class room and hands on training for Friday evening with the regional Scout Team. The training objectives would be aimed to familiarize the regional Scout Teams with the protocols used and the equipment. The Saturday activities would include the Scout Team and Heavy Team members working with the local fire departments participating in the training session.

AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner /Dept. Head City Manager Trevor Gamblin Kevin Fudge I Neil Jacobsen (Acting) RECOMMENDATION As provided in M &C 2016 -60, the City Manager recommends: 1) That this report be received and filed. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is provide clarification to Common Council on the purpose and results of a report entitled "Facility Condition Assessment for Capital Planning" prepared by Jacques Whitford in 2007 for the Reversing Falls Restaurant (RFR) building; to provide further explanation on staff's recommendation to demolish the RFR building in March of 2015; and to provide clarification on the capital investments that were recommended for the RFR building by staff in March of 2015. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION At a meeting of the Common Council held on March 16, 2015, the following resolution was adopted: "RESOLVED that Common Council adopt the resolution in the submitted report entitled, M &C 2015 -42: Former Reversing Falls Restaurant Building — Proposed Demolition, as follows: 1) Common Council approve the development and letting of a tender for the demolition of the Reversing Falls Restaurant located at 200 Bridge Road, and 436 Spa 2) Common Council allocate $90,000 to the demolition of the Reversing Falls Restaurant during the 2015 Capital Budget deliberations." STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT Not applicable REPORT In March of 2015, staff presented a report to Common Council (M &C 2015 -42) which recommended letting a tender for the demolition of the Reversing Falls Restaurant (RFR) building (see attached report). In this report, staff presented Common Council with three (3) options for the future of the building, namely: 1) Bring the building up to a reasonable state of repair by replacing those building systems that have surpassed their expected useful life (EUL) in- kind at a cost of approximately $750,000 (excluding soft costs). This option would give the building another 10 -15 years before significant capital investment would be required (i.e. beyond regular maintenance). 2) Bring the building up to a level that would give the building another 20- 25 years before significant capital investment would be required (i.e. beyond regular maintenance). The cost of this option was $1.5M as provided in the report. 3) Demolish the existing building and build new at a cost of approximately $2.1M to $2.4M. In this report to Common Council, staff suggested that finding a tenant to enter into a 15 year lease in which the City of Saint John could recover an investment of $750,000 was not likely, because the rent would be too high (based on historical tenancy). At the time, staff did not anticipate an investor stepping forward, who was willing to enter into a 60 year lease such that the recovery of an investment of this magnitude would be feasible. For further information, the report is attached as previously noted. In 2007, the City of Saint John commissioned Jacques Whitford to undertake a Facility Condition Assessment of the RFR building for capital planning purposes. The capital outlook was to be limited to three (3) years. The scope of the work only included an assessment of the following building systems: Structural; Exterior Stairs, Catwalk, and Fencing; Exterior Cladding and Glazing; Roof System; and Life Safety and Barrier -Free Systems. The report recommended a total investment of $387,000 over a period of the three (3) years. Since 2008, of the $387,000 in recommended work, $206,800 has not yet been completed, and is included in the $750,000 estimate referenced above. 437 -3- As mentioned, the $750,000 referenced in the report presented to Common Council in March of 2015 (M &C 2015 -42), includes the work recommended by Jacques Whitford in 2007 that was never completed, as well as work associated with building systems that were out of the scope of the 2007 Jacques Whitford report, including: Interior Finishes; Electrical Systems; Plumbing Systems; and HVAC Systems. It also takes into account that some building systems that had not yet surpassed their EUL in 2007, have now deteriorated further and have surpassed their EUL, eight years later in 2015, thus, require replacement. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES Not applicable INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS Not applicable ATTACHMENTS 1) Report to Common Council entitled "Former Reversing Falls Restaurant Building — Proposed Demolition" (M &C 2015 -42) REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL M &C 2015 -42 March 2, 2015 His Worship Mel Norton And Members of Common Council Your Worship and Councillors: SUBJECT Former Reversing Falls Restaurant Building — Proposed Demolition BACKGROUND :A The City of Saint John At the beginning of January, 2015, an agreement was developed with the then existing tenant /operator of the Reversing Falls Restaurant (RFR) and the City of Saint John to vacate the RFR building, and focus operations out of the existing Boaz Restaurant building on the same site. After the operator removed their equipment, the main building systems (i.e. electrical, plumbing, etc.) were decommissioned and the building was secured by staff of the Facility Management Division. The building has been vacant since then. ANALYSIS The Reversing Falls Restaurant (RFR) building was originally constructed in 1916 as a Trading Post at the former site of a major suspension bridge. The building is owned by the City of Saint John. Major renovations were completed in 1960, and the building has been operated as a full service restaurant since then. In the late- 1970s, early 1980s, the building went through a fairly extensive renovation, including electrical upgrades, lighting, heating, interior renovations, new windows, and new exterior cladding. Aside from the replacement of the roof in 1995, no other significant capital improvements were completed until the early- to mid- 2000s, when the electrical and water services to the building were upgraded, exterior flood lights were installed along the bank of the falls, washrooms were renovated, and a rooftop deck was installed to replace the former rooftop theatre that had deteriorated to the point of becoming unsafe before being demolished. Since the late- 1970s, over $350,000 (approximately $900,000 in 2015 dollars) has been spent in capital improvements on this building. The maintenance practices in this building, which were a responsibility of the tenant, have been very poor as far as can be interpreted through maintenance records, discussions with former tenants, and observations within the building itself. For example, the plumbing systems (water and sanitary both) have been problematic for the last 10 years, but repairs have been rudimentary at best — only "band aids" to buy short periods of time. It is anticipated that this approach was adopted due to operating revenue shortfalls, and the structure of the former leases themselves. Poor maintenance practices have left the building in a significant state of disrepair. We have appended a photo log to this report to provide a glimpse into the current condition of the building as it stands today. 439 Report to Common Council Page 2 of 7 Former Reversing Falls Restaurant Building — Proposed Demolition The RFR building is currently 55 years old, and has already gone through two significant life cycle renewal phases, which are generally in 20 -30 year cycles, depending on how well the building has been maintained. Due to its state of disrepair a significant amount of work is required to renew the building. As it currently stands, to replace the existing building systems and equipment that have surpassed their expected useful life (EUL) would cost over an estimated $750,000, excluding any soft costs that would be required (i.e. engineering, consulting, staff time, etc.). Another way to describe this amount is deferred maintenance, and it is essentially replacing systems and equipment in -kind (i.e. like for like). Although this would likely provide a building that could maintain operations for a number of years, it would not address many underlying life cycle renewal requirements that will require attention in the next 10 -15 year cycle (e.g. further upgrades to electrical systems, superstructure, and foundation systems). An alternate approach to the above, would be to bring this building up to a level that would give it another 20 -25 years of life, with only routine capital requirements expected during this cycle. To undertake this approach, it is estimated that $1.2M in construction costs, plus another 15 -20% in soft costs, or close to $1.5M would be required to be invested. To construct a new restaurant building of similar size would be in the range of $1,750,000 to $2,000,000 (approximately $280 to $300 per square foot) plus soft costs, or $2.OM to $23M. This is excluding demolition costs, which are estimated to be in the range of $75,000 to $90,000 if a new building was to be constructed on the same site. For the City of Saint John to invest this magnitude of money into building renewal, at a minimum, there would have to be a tenant that would want to take on a lease of at least 15 years. To recover an investment of $750,000 plus soft costs, we would have to charge the tenant approximately $13.50 to $14.00 per square foot in net rent. This is only considering a rate of return of approximately 15 %. This would result in a net rent of approximately $6,900 per month plus HST, and excludes property taxes, energy costs, maintenance, and other expenses that would be the responsibility of the tenant. Considering that the monthly rent charges for the former tenant were only approximately $4,800 per month, it is anticipated that finding a tenant to pay almost $2,000 more per month would be a challenge, as it would not likely be a financially feasible venture. Other options discussed above, including full life cycle renewal and /or building new have similar financial challenges for perspective tenants based on high premises costs. In addition to challenges associated with finding an appropriate tenant for the building, there are challenges associated with its management on a go forward basis. Although it is difficult to quantify, over the years, City staff have spent a significant amount of time on the RFR file. Real Estate, Facility Management, Finance, and Legal have resolved numerous issues related to collections, terms of lease, maintenance, amongst other matters. With changing priorities and increasing demands on staff, it has been increasingly difficult to manage this file with the attention that it deserves. Although more of philosophical question, we have to ask ourselves if we, as a municipal body should be in the landlord business at all. In some cases, it may make sense when we have the ability to foster economic growth, maintain historically significant assets, and /or provide value to the tax payers of the City of Saint John (e.g. City Market). In other cases, it may be a noteworthy revenue generating opportunity, which contributes to the bottom line. Still, in some cases, we may find that being a landlord does not have the benefit to the greater good as it does in other cases. There is a definite balance given the City's existing financial constraints, established priorities, and availability of internal resources to spend time on the files that are in line with Common Council's priorities and that make the biggest impacts on the bottom line. From an overall asset management standpoint, the City of Saint John is faced with challenges related to the ability to continue to fund the significant number of infrastructure assets we own. Aside from our parks, roads, sidewalks, and water and sewer assets (to name a few), we have approximately 80 buildings that currently have a deferred capital backlog of over $20M. Given the ever increasing competition for capital that the City is faced with, capital dollars may be better spent "catching up" on existing infrastructure rather than building new — in most cases. Evidence of this ..R Report to Common Council Page 3 of 7 Former Reversing Falls Restaurant Building - Proposed Demolition theory is that the City of Saint John has spent over $750,000 in the last two years for emergency situations resulting from building related requirements that have been deferred due to the lack of availability of capital funding. All of this money was unbudgeted, therefore, deferring planned projects to future years and further increasing the deferred capital backlog. For all of the reasons presented above, staff of the Facility Management Division recommends that the RFR building be demolished as soon as possible. In order for this to occur, we need to review permitting requirements, develop a bid package, and tender the project through our procurement process. It is important that we develop a plan of action soon, since the building has already been vacant for a couple of months. Because it is vacant, it is currently being monitored under the Vacant and Dangerous Buildings Program within the Growth and Community Development Services Department. In addition to this, a vacant building brings with it many risks, including, but not limited to: • Risk of fire - it has not been uncommon in the City that vacant buildings have been subject to fire as a result of criminal acts or other causes; • Vandalism - including, but not limited to fire, vandalism can include superficial or more significant damage to the inside or outside of the building. Although we have attempted to secure the building (e.g. windows and doors boarded up), we cannot be assured that people will not find a way in; • Rodent infestation - this is already a significant issue due to the state of disrepair and uncleanliness that the building was left in upon becoming vacant. Winter is the peak season for rodent infestation since the population will attempt to find places out of the weather and the cold. Being a former restaurant, there are significant food sources remaining in the building. Damage by rodents can be extensive (e.g. chewing electrical wire, etc.) and droppings can be a source of contamination that may require extensive remediation; • Trespassing - the City is exposed to liabilities associated with potential trespassers aside from just fire and vandalism. For example, the City would assumedly be liable for a trespasser getting injured or worse on a property owned by the City; and • Accelerated deterioration - since the building is vacant, and building systems partially decommissioned, issues may go unnoticed and result in accelerated deterioration and damage. Some examples include roof leaks, microbial growth (i.e. mould), rodent damage, amongst others. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS Should staffs recommendation for the demolition of the Reversing Falls Restaurant be supported by Common Council, costs are anticipated to be in the range of $75,000 to $90,000. It is important to note that demolition costs are often very difficult to estimate due to the competition for this work and the various methods that can be applied to accomplish the same objective. Staff have provided this estimate with due consideration of all the anticipated requirements, constraints, and risks associated with the project. It is recommended that Common Council consider this cost as part of the 2015 Capital Budget deliberations. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES During the development of this report, input was received from various City departments including Insurance and Risk Management, Real Estate, Finance, and Building and Inspection Services. 441 Report to Common Council Page 4 of 7 Former Reversing Falls Restaurant Building - Proposed Demolition RECOMMENDATION As described in M &C 2015 -42, your City Manager recommends: 1) That Common Council approve the development and letting of a tender for the demolition of the Reversing Falls Restaurant located at 200 Bridge Road; and 1) That Common Council consider allocating $90,000 to the demolition of the Reversing Falls Restaurant during the 2015 Capital Budget deliberations.

Andrew McKay, the applicant, appeared before the Committee and spoke in favour of staff recommendation. The Committee asked the applicant how much aggregate would be removed from the site. Mr. McKay stated that he was not positive as a thorough analysis has not yet been conducted. However, he suspected that a thousand truckloads of aggregate was a reasonable estimate. The Committee raised a concern with the amount of trucks that would be traveling on City streets. The applicant responded that the trucks would be leaving the site and immediately accessing the Airport Arterial road, and then Highway 1. No letters were received, and no one else appeared before the Committee in favour or against the application. After considering the applicant's statements, the Committee adopted the Staff Recommendation. The Committee also approved the requested variances from the Subdivision and Zoning By -laws relating to Lands for Public Purposes and lot frontage subject to conditions including an engineering assessment of soil conditions for water supply and on -site wastewater disposal. Approval was also given to the street name "Glacial Court" RECOMMENDATION: Page 1 a.-'2 EM t AYDA - 1 McKay Builders 3795 Loch Lomond Road February 19, 2016 1.

McKay Builders 3795 Loch Lomond Road February 12, 2016 SUMMARY The applicant is seeking approval for a proposed seven -lot subdivision at the corner of Loch Lomond Road and Route 111 on the City's east side. The proposed subdivision, if approved, would be accessed off Loch Lomond Road by a new street, as illustrated on the attached tentative subdivision plan. The applicant is proposing to develop the site in two separate phases in order to provide sufficient time to prepare the site. The City's Municipal Plan identifies this area as a part of the Rural Residential land use designation, which allows for a limited amount of low density, rural residential development to occur over the course of the Plan. The majority of this growth will involve the redevelopment of existing residential lots, or the development of lots that had been granted subdivision approval prior to the adoption of PlanSJ. In this case, the original rezoning and tentative subdivision of the site occurred concurrently with the adoption of the Plan. The application requires one variance from the standards of the Subdivision By -law, which is supported by staff, subject to the conditions outlined in the report. RECOMMENDATION 1. That Common Council assent to one or more subdivision plans, in one or more phases, in general accordance with the submitted Don H. Estey and Rhonda D. Estey Subdivision tentative plan, located at 3795 Loch Lomond Road (PID 329144) with respect to the vesting of the proposed public 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 variance from the requirements of the Subdivision By -law that would: a. permit Lots 15 -3, 15 -4 and 15 -5 to abut the shore of existing lake, whereas the Subdivision By -law requires a street or Land for Public Purposes along the shoreline; 6. That approval of the above variance be subject to the following conditions: Page 2 of 9 467 A.E. McKay Builders 3795 Loch Lomond Road February 12, 2016 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 Lot 15 -7 to be a minimum of approximately 20 metres, as generally illustrated on the submitted site plan, whereas the Zoning By -law requires a minimum frontage of 60 metres. That the Planning Advisory Committee approve the proposed street name "Glacial Court". DECISION HISTORY The Planning Advisory Committee, at its September 22, 1987 meeting, approved a Temporary Use application to excavate material from the property for the realignment of Loch Lomond Road and construction of the Airport Arterial. The subject site was later rezoned to "RR" One Family Rural Residential in February of 2012, at approximately the same time as the adoption of the new Municipal Plan (PlanSJ.) Common Council subsequently amended the new Municipal Plan in October of 2012, placing the property in the Rural Residential designation, in order to recognize this property as having been approved for rural residential development. ANALYSIS Proposal A.E. McKay Builders, the applicant, is proposing to subdivide the subject site to create seven unserviced lots. The subject site is currently a single lot located at the comer of Loch Lomond Road and Route 111 on the City's east side. The existing Rural Residential (RR) zone is intended for low density, rural residential lots located outside the Primary Development Area. The proposed seven lots subject to the current application satisfy the requirements of the Zoning By -law, except for the frontage of one lot (Lot 15 -7). The applicant proposes to develop the subdivision in one or more phases, including the creation of the proposed right -of -way, which, as illustrated on the attached tentative subdivision plan, Page 3 of 9 A.E. McKay Builders 3795 Loch Lomond Road February 12, 2016 ends in a cul -de -sac. The applicant has illustrated the build out of the proposed subdivision in two separate phases as the site has significant elevation that would need to be brought down to a more moderate slope prior to the construction of any future dwellings. Such site work would require the timing of the site preparation to be staged over two years, which is the applicant's intention with the proposed two phases. The proposed lots would be serviced with on -site water and sewage disposal facilities. Site and Neighbourhood The property is located to the north of Loch Lomond Road, adjacent to Route 111, as illustrated on the attached location map. The subject site is zoned Rural Residential (RR), and is located adjacent to the Treadwell Lake neighbourhood and across from the Saint John Airport in east Saint John. The Loch Lomond Elementary School is located on the opposite corner of Loch Lomond Road and Route 111. The subject site is approximately seven hectares in area with a peak elevation of approximately 109 metres above sea level. The south -east corner of the site includes a small lake that straddles three of the proposed lots and abuts two existing lots that front on Loch Lomond Road, as illustrated on the attached tentative subdivision plan. The northern portion of the site is largely undisturbed, consisting of significant tree cover that extends to the adjacent lots. The site includes a large area at the approximate centre of the subject site, abutting the northern edge of the lake, that was used as the laydown area for materials during the construction of Route 111. The surrounding community to the west and south of the subject site is characterised by low density residential land uses. Municipal Plan The subject site is primarily located in the Rural Residential Area land use designation on Schedule B of the City's Municipal Plan. (The portion of the site immediately adjacent to existing lake is designated Park and Natural Areas.) The Rural Residential land use designation is designed to recognise existing residential land uses in the rural areas of the City. 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. The Plan does not contemplate future growth in the Rural Residential areas of the City: "The Rural Residential Area designation applies to those lands which accommodate existing or approved low- density residential development that is not located within a Rural Settlement Area, is unserviced, and is located beyond the Primary Development Area. The Municipal Plan seeks to curtail this form of development in the future by limiting further subdivision of lots for this purpose." Page d of 9 A.E. McKay Builders 3795 Loch Lomond Road February 12, 2016 The Plan acknowledges the importance of preserving the existing rural residential land uses, including the lots that have been granted subdivision approval prior to the adoption of the Municipal Plan. Although staff recommended denial for the proposed rezoning application in 2012 for the subject site, Council eventually approved the application. The tentative subdivision plan that was considered as part of the application at the time was similar to the tentative subdivision plan submitted as part of the current application. The current proposed subdivision plan includes slightly larger lots as a result of the existing lake being included within the boundaries of three of the proposed lots, instead of a separate stand -alone lot being created for the lake and small wetland area abutting Loch Lomond Road. This results in slightly larger lot sizes, which better accommodates the standards of the Zoning By -law. The development of new roads in the rural areas of the City is generally not encouraged by the Municipal Plan. However, the proposed development includes one new road, which is effectively the extension of an existing future street. The submitted site plan includes a a temporary turnaround (cul -de -sac) at the end of the "Phase One" area, as well as the cul -de -sac illustrated at the end of the proposed "Glacial Court ". The proper dimensions and shape of a cul -de -sac helps ensure that the flow of vehicles in and out of the site can occur in a safe manner. Subdivision The proposed Lakeside Estates Subdivision requires a variance from the City's Subdivision By- law that would permit three of the proposed lots to abut a lake, whereas the Subdivision By -law requires a street or Land for Public Purposes along the shoreline. 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 preclude a lot from abutting a shoreline. As such, the variance can be supported. Approval of the proposed variance 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. In addition, proposed Lot 15 -7 requires a variance to reduce the required lot frontage to approximately 20 metres, whereas the Zoning By -law requires a minimum frontage of 60 metres in the Rural Residential (RR) zone. The requested variance is reasonable as it effectively minimizes the amount of public street required for the proposed subdivision, while preserving the overall required lot size as the lot widens out to a suitable width at the back. Page 5 of 9 470 A.E. McKay Builders 3795 Loch Lomond Road February 12, 2016 Proposed Removal of Aggregate It should also be noted that the applicant intends to remove gravel from the subject site in advance of creating the lots. As illustrated on the attached tentative subdivision plan, the applicant has divided this work into two separate phases. Although it is not common for a subdivision involving only seven proposed lots to be carried out over the course of two phases, the applicant has indicated that the subject site contains significant elevation that will require more time to remove than the one year that is permitted by the Zoning By -law. Specifically, the Zoning By -law permits the removal of aggregate to occur, subject to the following requirements: i, tentative subdivision approval has been granted and such approval has not expired; ii. a permit application for the proposed excavation is submitted that includes detailed plans prepared by a professional engineer; iii. the excavation is limited to the extent necessary for the proposed subdivision development; iv, any terms and conditions deemed necessary to mitigate negative impacts on the site and adjacent land are imposed by the Development Officer; V. a permit for excavation shall only be valid for a maximum of one year from the issuance date of the permit and cannot be renewed; vi. the applicant provides security in an amount adequate to cover the estimated cost of rehabilitation of the land of the site in accordance with the terms and time limits. 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 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 proposed Subdivision requires PAC approval for "Glacial Court" as a street name for the public street right -of -way included as part of the subdivision. City staff have indicated that these names meet the NB911 guidelines and are acceptable. Page 6 of 9 471 A.E. McKay Builders 3795 Loch Lomond Road February 12, 2016 Conclusion The applicant is seeking to develop a seven -lot subdivision at the corner of Loch Lomond Road and Route 111 in the City's east side. The subject site was rezoned to Rural Residential (RR) in 2012 in support of a proposed subdivision plan (similar to the submitted tentative subdivision plan) which did not go forward at the time. The current subdivision plan includes the creation of one new public street that will act as a continuation of the existing future street that leads into the site from Loch Lomond Road. The applicant has indicated that the site preparation work required prior to the creation any of the proposed dwellings is substantial and will therefore require the project to have two separate phases to ensure that appropriate time is given to remove aggregate from the site. In addition, the proposed subdivision requires two variances from the standards of the Subdivision By -law and the Zoning By -law. The variances can be supported 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. Finally, the recommendation provides for Common Council's assent to the plan with respect to the internal street layout, as well as Council's acceptance of money in lieu of LPP, and authorization of the necessary City /developer subdivision agreement(s).

Could you ensure that it gets circulated to the Committee? - - - -- Original Message- From: Brian Wiggins [m ilt cu ' ] Sent: February -15- 1612:20 PM To: Kliffer, Jody Cc: Cindy Thorn; Angela McLean Subject: Subdivision Hi Jody, Further to our telephone conversation this morning regarding the proposed subdh ision at 3795 Loch Lomond Road; the proponent should be made aware that there is a Federal Zoning Regulation which exists that serves to limit the elevation to which structures or vegetation can exist around the airport. They should check the regulation and make sure that they will be clear of the surfaces both during and after construction. If there were to be any expected violations to the surfaces then the owner could fill out the required Aeronautical Assessment form to Transport Canada. Based on the stated 11 m height restriction with the city, I expect they will be clear but it is very important that they check and understand the limitation for themselves. Thanks BW Sent from my iPhone E; For Mayor and Council City of Saint John Invitation to participate in Climate Change and Energy Initiative (CCEI) Background March 2, 2016 "Paris climate 2015 ", the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, COP21, facilitated countries to sign an important agreement for the environment aimed at limiting greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. New Brunswick has already announced its target to reduce GHG emissions to 10% below the level of 1990 by 2020 and to reduce the GHG emissions between 75 and 85% below the level of 2001 by 2050. Communities play a vital role in meeting provincial and national emissions reduction targets. The UMNB Climate Change and Energy Initiative (CCEI) is a unique opportunity to advance your corporate and community -wide GHG inventories, produce a local action plan of high - quality that identifies projects to reduce GHG emissions, improve energy efficiency, integrate renewables, reduce costs, keep energy dollars local, create new revenues, foster job creation, and to meet the needs of your community now and for future generations. Be part of the solution! Realize your greenhouse gas inventory and your local action plan for the reduction of GHG emissions. The UMNB CCEI project aims to engage 12 municipalities in an 18 month project to develop and update energy and GHG emissions inventories and Local Action Plans. Request We request City of Saint John Council to consider a resolution to join the initiative (UMNB CCEI). The contribution by the City of Saint John would be between $15 to $18K maximum (split over two years), for the production of a high - quality GHG inventory, Local Action Plan, Community Energy Plan /Mapping, and further project identification. The Initiative is open to all UMNB members and non - members. Project Description Participants will obtain high - quality GHG emissions inventories and Local Action Plans, and associated energy mapping and community energy planning. The inventories include corporate and community -wide energy and emissions data, and the Local Action Plans identify opportunities and projects eligible for further GMF funding, with targets for GHG emissions reduction. UMNB aims to engage twelve municipalities (both UMNB and non -UMNB members) to pass resolutions by April 2016, to participate in the project. These resolutions will be attached with UMNB's submission to the FCM GMF (Green Municipal Fund). Municipal contributions are dependent on successful funding from FCM and NB ETF. If funding is approved, the anticipated project start date would be in the Fall of this year. UMNB will submit the funding application to FCM GMF for 50% of the project cost. We have applied to NB Environmental Trust Fund for %35 — 40% of the project cost (over two years), and municipalities that participate in UMNB CCEI contribute 10% of the project cost globally (shared among participants and ranked according to their municipal tax assessment and population). Over the past two months, six municipalities have passed resolutions to participate in the UMNB CCEI project. We are in discussion with several more municipalities in order to achieve our target of 12 municipal participants in the initiative. We are also seeking a champion (urban municipality), which we hope will be the City of Saint John. We had several opportunities to discuss the project with the City's Energy Manager, including at the QUEST workshop on Community Energy Planning last November in Saint John (welcome provided by Councillor Shelley Rinehart), for 45 participants from NB and PEI. The City of Saint John and UMNB are both participants in the QUEST NB Caucus, www.guestcanada.org where we engage with other municipalities across N.B., provincial government (Department of Energy & Mines), utilities (including Saint John Energy, NB Power), and other stakeholders, to discuss ways to advance Smart Energy Communities in N.B.. The UMNB CCEI initiative will develop Local Action Plans that help municipalities advance to Smart Energy Communities. It is worth noting that UMNB passed the motion at our AGM, to pursue this project and engage YHC Environnement because they have a strong record of producing high quality energy and emissions inventories, action plans, project design and development (including energy projects). YHC recently completed a similar project with AFMNB, involving 17 francophone municipalities in New Brunswick. YHC's president, Yves Hennekens, is Chair of the QUEST Caucus in Quebec, while Eddie Oldfield is the Chair of the QUEST Caucus in New Brunswick. UMNB looks forward to collaborating with YHC and QUEST on this important initiative. Stand out and become a model for other municipalities and communities! We will make sure that your efforts and achievements are recognized in New Brunswick and in Canada and you can become a model, an example in a sector or a problem that particularly affects you. We will follow -up for you with Partners for Climate Protection (PCP), Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and we will inform you of the most appropriate opportunities for your municipality, including through Community Energy Planning and mapping. Thank you for your consideration of our request to participate. I look forward to knowing your decision Sincerely, Raymond Murphy Executive Director, UMNB MM 3 March 2016 From: CODS16 Organizing Committee To: His Worship Mayor Mel Norton and Members of Common Council Your Worship: The NB Social Policy Research Network (NBSPRN) and nb+ are co- hosting the Canadian Open Data Summit 2016 (CODS16) on April 27 -28th in Saint John.
