RECOMMENDATION
The City Manager recommends that:
1. The City exercise a three (3) year renewal extension (years 2022, 2023,
and 2024), with ClearRisk Inc. for their cloud -based management
information software solutions utilized by Risk Management, Fleet
Management and Human Resources; and
2. The Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary
contract documents.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The ClearRisk system provides a cloud -based management information software
solution for Risk Management, Fleet Management and Human Resources.
ClearRisk enables the direct reporting of claims, incidents, work orders, parts and
maintenance billing, fuel usage, lifecycle planning, claim and incident
management, Risk Management planning and a broad list of key performance
indicators.
The software is also utilized for data management, analytics, and insights to
enhance overall business performance of the various departments.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
At the April 2, 2019 meeting of Council the following resolution was adopted:
14
-2-
RESOLVED that as recommended by the City Manager in the submitted report
M&C 2019-61: Software Renewal — ClearRisk, Common Council direct the Mayor
and Common Clerk to execute the submitted ClearRisk renewal.
And
At the February 4, 2013 meeting of Council the following resolution was
adopted: RESOLVED that as recommended by the City Manager in the submitted
report Software Agreement for Risk Management, Council approved the
purchase of Risk Management software from ClearRisk Inc., and further that the
Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute the agreements with
ClearRisk Inc. and Saleforce.com as submitted.
REPORT
The City commenced using ClearRisk for its Risk Management Information
System in 2013. The cloud -based software solution allows for quick and accurate
reporting of claims and insurance costs, as well as Risk Management planning
which lead to substantial insurance savings in 2015 of over $500,000.
Risk Management also utilizes the ClearRisk online reporting tool which is
accessible to public and internal staff to ensure prompt delivery, investigation,
and assessment of each claim. ClearRisk enables data review and report
generation, which enables effective forecasting, trend analysis and proactive risk
management.
The cost for the Risk Management component is $9,702.01 and forms part of the
calculation of the City's overall Cost of Risk which is consistently lower than
comparators in the public and private sectors.
Fleet Management began developing a Fleet Management Information System in
partnership with ClearRisk in 2016 following a recommendation from an MBA
student project in the summer of 2016. The project looked at the cost/benefits
of alternative Fleet Management Information System and concluded that if the
City of Saint John were to invest in the effort to develop their own system with
ClearRisk, that the solution would likely provide the best quality system at the
lowest price.
The cost for the Fleet Management component is $19,404.07 which includes
access for other departments to run their own reports on their fleet
performance and planning for fleet replacement. When the City researched
several other Fleet information systems the comparable price was 2 to 3 times
the cost of the ClearRisk system. Beyond Fleet's use of the system to gather work
order, parts, fuel, labour and life cycle planning for the City's fleet, the ClearRisk
system also allows for direct access to reports and costs of repairs for the
15
-3-
different service delivery departments such as Police, Fire, Public Works and
Transportation and Utilities and Infrastructure.
Human Resources in conjunction with Risk Management began utilizing ClearRisk
in 2018 and has incorporated the ClearRisk Incident reporting into both the
internal and external process to report, track and manage reports of injury, near
miss and insurance claims. Human Resources, through the Manager, Health,
Safety & Wellness uses the ClearRisk software to track all internal injury reports.
The tool allows for full case management records and updates with required
security to ensure confidentiality of information. The cost for the Human
Resource component is $4,244.63.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This aligns with the Council priority of Valued Service Delivery. Cloud -based
management information software solutions such as ClearRisk enable value
optimizing decisions and measure and report key performance indicators.
Through these systems, Staff are enabled to make decisions to provide better
front-line services at the lowest possible cost to citizens and customers.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
The cost of the cloud -based management information software solution is
included in the Risk Management, Human Resources and Fleet Management
budgets.

RECOMMENDATION
The City Manager recommends that the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute
the Data Integration Consulting Statement of Work documents with Softchoice
(attached).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
There are several applications used by City staff that require databases and data
integration protocols. The Data Integration Consulting Statement of Work (SOW)
arrangement with Softchoice will support the City's Information Technology (IT)
service area. This is a specialized skills set that has proven to be difficult to recruit
for and is integral to the effective and efficient operation of applications used by
both the City and the Saint John Police Force.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
N/A
REPORT
The IT service area has been staffed with two Systems Specialists in the past that
were responsible for database management and data integration. Both
employees in these roles have left their position to pursue other opportunities.
Despite three recruitment processes, City staff have been unable to successfully
hire for this necessary skill set. Other municipalities have engaged consulting
services for their database management and programming skillset required for
database administration and data integration needs.
!II
-2-
Softchoice can offer the City on -demand access to database management and
data integration resources to help resolve technical issues with current database
management and data integration protocols. The IT service area can also procure
project support for new initiatives as projects are planned that require these skills.
Tasks previously completed by the System Specialists roles outside of database
management and data integration will be absorbed by positions within the IT
service area. Additional staff will be recruited in 2022 to keep up with the
workload.
The IT team reached out to three consulting companies for data management
services. Softchoice was the only company that met the requirements set out by
the City at the best cost. Softchoice has worked with the IT service area on other
projects and contracts, and have proven to be helpful, knowledgeable, and
dependable.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
As noted in Council Priorities, the City is committed to providing service delivery
within the City's internal policies and procedures, while also using financial
resources wisely. The SOW supports efficient service delivery by ensuring the
skills required to maintain, troubleshoot, and create databases and data interfaces
among applications is readily available. Staffing and purchasing policies were
followed by staff when recruiting the required skillsets.
SERVICEAND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
A discounted hourly rate of $175 plus HST has been offered by Softchoice. Once
approved by Council, a purchase order will be created for $9,060.00 plus HST for
fifty hours of data work and two hours of project coordination. The City is only
obligated to pay for the hours used during 2022. The cost of the Softchoice
resource is budgeted for in the approved 2022 IT operational budget.
INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS
The Supply Chain Management team is supportive of proceeding with Softchoice
for data management and integration services.
The General Counsel's Office has reviewed the SOW.
The Human Resources service area has reviewed the SOW and is supportive of
proceeding with engaging with a consultant for this skillset.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Council accepts the insurance package presented by BFL
Canada, through our Agent of Record, JM & CW Hoper Grant Ltd. and approves
maximum payments as follow:
Insurance Premiums of
$1,689,780
Agreed Agency Fee of
$30,000
Payable to JM & CW Hope Grant Ltd.
$1,719,780
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The insurance industry appears to be approaching the end of a hard market cycle
that has not been seen in 20 years. Premiums in the coming two years should
continue to stabilize as insurers have reduced their book of business to only select
customers and have completed extensive underwriting of the markets they serve.
This has resulted in insurers reducing the amount of coverage they wish to extend
along with significant increases in premiums in all markets but especially property
and cyber risks.
The City's overall increase to the entire insurance portfolio is approximately 20%
after last year's increase of 26% for a total two-year increase of close to 50% in
premiums. This experience is in line with other Canadian Municipalities that have
seen increases ranging from 15%to 60%this year with combined increases of 40%
to 100% in the past two years (Moncton 40%, Halifax 82.5%).
There are three areas of concern on premium increases, property, auto and Cyber.
With the stabilizing hard market conditions, the City will be returning to a
competitive RFP process to better evaluate the insurance opportunities within the
new market conditions including an assessment of deductibles, reserves and
6'il
-2-
diverting insurance premiums towards loss prevention activities while retaining
more risk. A comprehensive review could be completed in 2023 in cooperation
with the successful RFP respondent.
Once the various premium costs are allocated to participating agencies, boards or
commissions, the various insurance premiums are on target for the 2021
budgeted amount. Property and auto premiums are allocated out by property and
vehicle to various department budgets and the increase in costs are expected to
be absorbed by the various departments through off -setting savings or reducing
the number of assets.
The Risk Management approach adopted by the City of Saint John in 2016 has
achieved accumulated savings of approximately $3.5 million in the past six years.
Continued effort to further develop an Enterprise Risk Management platform will
be required or future savings will be eroded.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
The 2022 renewal is in line with the approach previously established in previous
insurance purchases.
REPORT
The proposal selected reflects a balanced approach to evaluating risks and the cost
of risk transfer through insurance. Our rating experience continues to be in the
preferred group according to our insurer and our Risk Management approach will
lead to combined savings of over $3,500,000 since 2016. The premium increases
are largely reflective of the broader insurance market and given the City's good
loss experience, there may be opportunities to further optimize the insurance
purchase to provide better return for taxpayers.
The following table on the next page illustrates the coverage limits, deductibles
and premiums associated with this renewal.

Changes for 2022
Procurement
Due to the hard market conditions, many insurers have removed themselves from
offering insurance in many lines. Many have decided to focus on core business
and implement strong underwriting practices. Our previous insurer, AIG, has
withdrawn from our market and our broker offered our business to eight different
companies with Zurich providing the best response and, in some lines, the only
response to our renewal. AIG continues to offer the Cyber Insurance coverage.
With the market stabilizing and insurers focusing on strong underwriting, the City
should return to the open market via a Request For Proposals process in 2022.
The City's loss ratios continue to be favourable and may elicit other responses.
There are areas of concern that require some internal efforts to evaluate the
cost/benefit of continuing to seek insurance or look at other risk mitigation
techniques like self-insurance and using a reserve to soften large losses.
Cyber Liability
Cyber insurance provides coverage for things such as Security and Privacy Liability,
Network Interruption, Event Management, Cyber Extortion and Ransomware.
While many municipalities and private entities are no longer able to obtain Cyber
insurance, the City's overall cost of Cyber insurance has nearly tripled in three
years and the Ransomware coverage has decreased by 50% to $1,000,000 with a
50% co-insurance clause and a $50,000 deductible. It is encouraging that our
existing insurer is still willing to offer us this coverage reflecting the confidence in
67�
-4-
our security efforts, the cost/benefit of this insurance must be evaluated in the
future and determine if the investment is better made into systems rather than
insurance.
Property Premium
The City's total value of property insured has changed from $432,683,092 to
$441,199,457. The combined effect of increases in value and the rate increase
yields an overall premium increase of 14.22%. The insurer noted that this is mostly
due to market conditions where annual cost of flooding has risen from 250 million
in 1983 to over 1.8 billion in 2020. The policy wordings will have to be carefully
examined to ensure reflection of proper rebuild cost for buildings such as the City
Market and Carleton Community Centre. Also of note, any building at risk of storm
surge, such as TD Station, has been offered flood coverage only with a $500,000
deductible.
Automobile Premium
The rates for individual vehicle classes (fire, police, non -emergency etc.) have all
increased by approximately 11%. This trend is aligned with recent applications by
other automobile insurers in New Brunswick where claim costs have driven up
premiums. Our experience is no different than the broader industry but also
reflects a troubling development in the Transit industry in Ontario.
Transit
A specific Transit Excess Insurance premium is being imposed in 2022. This will
add $118,519 in insurance premium expenses for Transit. The first 5 million in
coverage is provided by the automobile insurer but the regular excess insurance
carrier that extends our liability limits to 45 million has declined to provide excess
limits to Transit. As part of the evaluation in 2022, the City will examine diverting
this investment into a reserve to deal with catastrophic losses rather than
insurance coverage.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This purchase is necessary to continue to protect the City's Economic Health and
to protect City assets.
SERVICEAND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
As a result of the 2016 RFP, each facility and fleet vehicle experienced a reduction
in costs to operate along with a substantial reduction to the general fund liability
insurance and these savings will continue with the 2022 renewal. We have
maintained these savings with pro -active Risk Management techniques working
together with each department to closely monitor our experiences and losses.
The efforts have created positive outcomes for service areas and citizens
combined (less claims, less payments, lower premiums etc.) and has produced a
6'tl
-5-
favourable loss ratio that still places the City in the "A" book of business with our
insurer.

OUR ROLE - CORE SERVICES & PLATFORM METHODOLOGY
Envision Saint John is the region's sales, marketing, and support engine strategically focused on attracting people, visitors, business, and
investment. We are convening platforms, which are forums that engage stakeholders to collaborate on strategic areas of opportunity to drive
lasting and sustainable growth outcomes.
Platforms can be multi -year in nature with a combination of short, medium, and long-term outcomes. We will also be identifying and leading
sprint platforms, which will be highly focused with accelerated deadlines, and more immediate impact. Specifically, we will:
• Map ecosystems and convene strategic platforms for areas of opportunity, set specific growth goals, projects and timelines.
• Bring the right people to the table and identify clear objectives - act as a catalyst and convenor to accelerate the work.
• Lead a collective approach to solve both complex and acute problems.
Inform investors on platform performance at regular intervals and celebrate wins to the broader community.
Criteria for Agency Engagement:
When evaluating potential platform opportunities to determine allocation of resource and influence, the Agency will be using a combination
of the following criteria:
• Aligns with at least one of the Agency's 10-year outcomes.
• Aligns with Agency Value Proposition & Guiding Principles.
• Supports Agency Strategic Priorities: Growth Readiness, Talent Attraction & Pipeline, and Entrepreneurship & Business Growth.
• Leverages Agency Core Services.
• Engages the ecosystem partners (relevant to their pressing issues).
• Adds value and return on investment.
• Reinforced by meaningful data.
OUR PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT & EVALUATION FRAMEWORK
We have designed a performance measurement and evaluation framework appropriately calibrated to the complexity of this challenge and
for the innovation the platform model represents. This includes a whole -system approach and the recognition all partners and ecosystems
have accountabilities for success. The measurement system itself will be evaluated and upgraded regularly.
Three Distinct Phases of Work
The intent and focus of the measurement framework changes at each phase. The primary intent of Phase One is:
• Build the conditions for success.
• Develop the necessary supports and infrastructure.
• Detail the specific goals and objectives of each platform and how these connect to the larger objectives.
• Test and adapt the overall methodology.
The activities in Phase One will inform future phases, including focus on efficiency and effectiveness and our ability to harvest and scale.
Three Distinct Approaches to Measure Progress
Agency Performance: What are the things we are accountable for, that we can impact, and that we will achieve?
Platform Performance: Platform accountability and effectiveness rests with the platform ecosystem partners. Goals and strategies are
defined by the platform and tied to 10-year outcomes.
• Platform Methodology Evaluation: This is how we do the work, learn and adjust to do things better, and apply the learning to each
platform. System issues will manifest in the platforms.

PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE
December 15, 2021
Her Worship Mayor Donna Noade Reardon and
Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Councillors:
SUBJECT: Zoning By-law Amendment and Variance Application
166 Leinster Street
On November 15, 2021, Common Council referred the above matter to the
Planning Advisory Committee for a report and recommendation. The Committee
considered the attached report at its December 14, 2021, meeting.
Mr. Peter MacKenzie, of Comeau MacKenzie Architecture, the project architect
appeared before the Committee and expressed agreement with Staff
Recommendation. With respect to the variance to reduce the required area
covered by windows with clear glass from 15 percent to approximately 13
percent on the Princess Street fagade, Mr. MacKenzie noted they will not be
requiring this variance and will be designing the fagade to meet the 15 percent
standard.
.2k^11
The City of Saint John
Responding to questions from Committee members, Mr. MacKenzie noted the
provision of a step back on the upper floor would significantly reduce the
available floor area of the upper floor and that the building footprint is already
constrained due to the size and configuration of the site. He also noted the
detailed design of the site would incorporate a walkway serving the access stairs
along the Crown Street fagade. He again confirmed they will be designing the
Princess Street fagade to meet the 15% window opening requirement.
The Chair and other members noted to staff that this application was one of
several over the past year seeking to reduce the step back requirement and
increase the building height. They asked if these requirements would be
reviewed in the near future.
No other persons appeared before the Committee and one letter was received
regarding the application.

Comeau MacKenzie Architecture 166 Leinster Street December 15, 2021
Following consideration of the presentations, letter, and Staff report, the
Committee adopted a motion to recommend that Common Council adopt the
height map amendment. The Committee also approved variances relating to the
step back and dimensions of the proposed amenity space within the building.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Common Council amend Schedule G of the Zoning By-law and
increase the maximum building height from 14-metres to 20.6-metres for
the parcel of land having an area of approximately 1365 square metres,
located at 166 Leinster Street, also identified as PID Number 55203368.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The applicant is proposing to construct a 6-storey, 35-unit multiple dwelling. The proposal
requires an amendment to the Zoning By-law's Central Peninsula Height Map to increase the
maximum building height at the site from 14-metres to 20.6 -metres. Committee variances are
required to remove the step back requirement at the 14-metre elevation, reduce the percentage
of fagade covered in clear glass windows, and to adjust the minimum amenity space
dimensions. Additional variances will be considered separately by the Development Officer.
RECOMMENDATION
1. That Common Council amend Schedule G of the Zoning By-law and increase the
maximum building height from 14-metres to 20.6-metres for the parcel of land having an
area of approximately 1365 square metres, located at 166 Leinster Street, also identified
as PID Number 55203368.
2. That the Planning Advisory Committee grant a variance to Section 15.2(a) of the Central
Peninsula Building Height and Massing Overlay (CPO) zone to allow for the proposed
building to be developed without the provision of 3-metre fagade step backs at the 14-
metre elevation.
3. That the Planning Advisory Committee grant a variance to Section 10.1(3)(m)(ii) of the
Urban Centre Residential (RC) Zone to allow for the proposed building to reduce the
required area covered by windows with clear glass from 15 percent to approximately 13
percent.
4. That the Planning Advisory Committee grant a variance to Section 6.3(c) of the Zoning
By-law to reduce the required amenity space minimum dimension from 6-metres to
approximately 5-metres.
5. That the above variances from the Zoning By -Law be subject to the following condition:
the planting of a minimum of one tree or shrub for every 45 square metres of
required front yard along the Princess Street, Leinster Street and Crown Street
frontages provided at least 50 percent of the required plants are trees, and that the
plans submitted with the building permit application detail this landscaping.
DECISION HISTORY
There are no known decisions involving the subject site.
ANALYSIS
Proposal
The applicant is proposing to construct a 6-storey, 35-unit multiple dwelling on a vacant lot with
frontages on Crown, Princess, and Leinster Streets. The proposed building provides 15
underground parking spaces and 3 surface parking spaces, underground bicycle parking, and
Page 2 of 7
Ti
Comeau MacKenzie Architecture 166 Leinster Street December 10, 2021
shared fitness room. The building is proposed to be made up of market units, with 6 one -
bedroom units, and 29 two -bedroom units.
The building has an overall height of 20.6-metres from average grade based on a height of
approximately 19.06-metres on the Leinster Street side and approximately 22.21-metres on the
Princess Street side.
Site and Neighbourhood
The subject site is a vacant lot in the City's South End Neighbourhood, a historic urban
neighbourhood adjacent to the City's centre. The subject site is bound on the north by Leinster
Street, on the south by Princess Street, and on the east by Crown Street. Both Princess and
Leinster Streets slope towards Crown Street, creating an average elevation change of
approximately 2-metres from the western edge of the subject site to the Crown Street frontage.
The surrounding development pattern is residential, with a mixture of unit counts and typologies
including single unit, two unit, and semi-detached dwellings, and purposely built and converted
multiple dwellings. Although the subject site is not within a registered Heritage Conservation
Area, the surrounding built form is characterized by its historic, compact residential development
pattern. The buildings in the surrounding area range from two to four storeys in height with a
mixture of materials represented including masonry, wood cladding and shingles, and vinyl
siding. Buildings in the surrounding area have minimal setback from the street, with minimal or
no side yard separation between buildings.
There is a railway line located to the east of the site, across the Crown Street right-of-way and
running along the coastline terminating at the Potash Terminal located at the southern -most
extent of the City's Central Peninsula. To the east of the railway line is Courtenay Bay Channel,
which will provide some of the units with a water view.
The subject property also benefits from its location within the Central Peninsula. The property is
located within one block of a transit stop, which provides greater connectivity to the broader city.
The residents will also benefit from the proximity to a variety of community spaces, community
and government services and countless local businesses. This includes King's Square, the
Loyalist Burial Ground, and Service New Brunswick, and the broader Uptown Core.
Municipal Plan, Secondary Plan and Zoning
Municipal Plan
The area is designated Medium to High Density Residential in the Municipal Plan. The Medium
to High Density Residential designation is intended for higher density housing forms including
multiple dwellings such as the one proposed for the subject site. The site is also within an Urban
Neighbourhood Intensification Area in the Municipal Plan which describes neighbourhoods that
are appropriate for re -urbanization and increased residential density. These neighbourhoods are
expected to capture nearly half of the targeted future growth and development in the City over
the horizon of the Municipal Plan.
Page 3 of 7
92
Comeau MacKenzie Architecture 166 Leinster Street December 10, 2021
Central Peninsula Secondary Plan (CPSP)
The area is identified as being within the South End Neighbourhood in the CPSP. The South
End Neighbourhood is described as the Central Peninsula's stable residential neighbourhood
and is positioned for contextually appropriate, increasingly dense residential infill projects. The
CPSP directs new development to be designed with minimal setbacks and complementary
design characteristics to reinforce the South End as a dense, urban neighbourhood.
The proposed development meets the general intent of both the Municipal Plan and the CPSP.
A municipal and secondary plan policy review as undertaken as part of the application review
and analysis. The policy review can be found in Attachment 2.
Zoning By -Law
The subject site is within the Urban Centre Residential (RC) zone and the Central Peninsula
Building Height and Massing Overlay (CPO) zone. The proposed development meets the spirit
of both zones however, it will require a total of 11 variances from zone standards. These
variances will be considered through PAC and Development Officer approval and are described
in the table below.
Amendment to the Height Map
The Zoning By-law's Central Peninsula Height Map applies a 14-metre height limit to areas
outside of the Uptown as a guideline to ensure future development is assessed for compatibility.
Typical urban design best practice is a 1:1 ratio of street width (measured from building face to
building face) to the height of the street wall except where a building frames an open space,
such as Kings Square, where a ratio providing a higher building height is preferred. This section
of Crown Street is a single loaded street with no buildings along the east side of the street,
which also provides for a ratio which allows for greater building height as there is no sense of
enclosure to be impacted by the additional height. The 1:1 ratio relating building height and
street width allows for continued enjoyment of the pedestrian environment as it considers
natural light filtration and limits wind tunneling. The sloping topography should also be
considered when evaluating the proposed 20.6-metre building height in the context of the
neighbouring buildings. The highest elevation along the western property boundary is 23.5-
metres. The elevation at the corner of Princess and Crown Streets is approximately 18.5-
metres, and 20.5-metres at the corner of Leinster and Crown Streets. It can be assumed that
the 3 to 5 metre change in elevation will decrease somewhat through site preparation and
grading however, it can also be assumed that the change in elevation will decrease the impact
of the building height on the surrounding context. Based on the topography of the site, the
height of the proposed development will appear shorter in height, and this will lessen the
appearance of the overall scale of the building.
In addition, the conceptual design of the building proposes the establishment of a distinct base,
middle and top of the building. The cladding of the building will be cementitious paneling. The
ground floor is a dark grey colour featuring a distinct patterning on the panel. The middle storeys
(2-4) will feature a light grey smooth panelling and the upper two -storeys will feature a white
smooth panelling. The design elements serve to not only establish the ground floor as a
Page 4 of 7
Comeau MacKenzie Architecture 166 Leinster Street December 10, 2021
pedestrian scaled street wall, but to create a visual break throughout the building. Building
cladding will be cementitious materials on all four sides, which exceed the requirements of the
RC zone which only require specific materials on the front or flankage facades.
The proposed increase in height from 14-metres to 20.6-metres is supportable as it is in keeping
with the intention of the Zoning By -Law and the policy direction of the Municipal and Secondary
Plan.
PAC Variances
The following variances from the standards of the Zoning By-law are required to be considered
by the PAC through the legislative jurisdiction provided to them under the Community Planning
Act:

minimum step back at 14 metres for any
additional storey(s). The step back shall have a
minimum depth of three metres away from the
street facing front fagade.
The proposed fitness room layout includes a nook -type area that measures 4.5-metres by 5-
metres. The remainder of the proposed fitness room meets the 6-metres minimum dimension
described in the Zoning By-law. Varying the size of rooms falls within the Committee's
jurisdiction under the Community Planning Act.
The Community Planning Act requires the Committee's input when the design, character, and
appearance of buildings is requested to be varied from the Zoning By-law standard. The
requested reduction in the percentage of the fagade covered with clear windows is minimal and
primarily caused by limited windows along the west elevation of the building. The west elevation
shares a property line with a multiple unit. The multiple units have amenity space and parking
facing the shared property line. The proposed building appears to be designed with unit
windows primarily facing the street frontages.
The removal of the required step back at 14-metres is considered a building design variance
and, therefore, falls within the jurisdiction of the Committee. This variance is supportable
considering the overall height and massing of the building does not appear to impact the
pedestrian experience. The intention of this requirement is to ensure the public realm is
Page 5 of 7
S4
Comeau MacKenzie Architecture 166 Leinster Street December 10, 2021
protected and enhanced by infill developments. This specific section of Crown Street is
undeveloped along its eastern edge. There is a rail line below the street grade along this section
of Crown Street and therefore it is unlikely to be subject to infill development in the future. This
absence of a street wall further supports the removal of the step back requirement as the area is
open to natural light and will not be subject to shadows from cross street buildings.
As a condition of the PAC variance approvals, Staff recommend a condition requiring enhanced
landscaping along the three Public Street frontages of the site.
Development Officer Variances
Variances related to parking and access standards, lot area and setbacks will be considered by
the Development Officer through the legislative jurisdiction provided to them under the
Community Planning Act:
Conclusion
Staff recommend approval of the amendment to the Zoning By-law's Central Peninsula Height
Map to permit a 20.6-metre building at the subject site. Staff are recommending the Committee
approve the requested variances to remove the step back at the 14-metre elevation, the
reduction in amenity space dimension, and the reduction in percentage of fagade area covered
by clear glass windows.
ALTERNATIVES AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Given the jurisdiction provided to the Committee by the Community Planning Act, the
Committee has the authority to formulate alternatives to Staff's recommendation or impose
conditions.
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 December 1, 2021. Notice of the Public
Hearing for the Zoning By -Law amendment will be posted on the City of Saint John website
prior to December 20, 2021.

From: John Simon
To: OneSton
Subject: Zoning by-law Amendment PID 55203368
Date: December 9, 2021 9:13:39 AM
[ External Email Alert] "Please note that this message is from an
external sender. If it appears to be sent from a Saint John employee, please
forward the email to spamsample@saintjohn.ca or contact IT Service Desk
at 649-6047. * *
I am writing regarding the recent information I received for a variance on building height for
the above PID. First of all let me say I am very supportive of this project. It is great to see
vacant lots in the uptown area finally be filled with high quality multi -tenant offerings.
However, I have to object to the height variance. Speaking as someone who has invested
recently in property uptown including several thousand dollars on a deck for a view of the
water, this will potentially impair my view and that of other people who have invested in their
properties to take advantage of the wonderful views offered from the uptown peninsula.
I am not familiar with Saint John uptown bylaws for building height. However I do feel
sightlines should be maintained in the uptown area for existing property owners to as
reasonable extent as possible. Does the city have a sightline plan similar to Halifax to
preserve certain lines? This would allow developers more clarity when planning their
developments.
We already have the unused potash terminal at the head of the Harbour impeding the view
lines for all those around. As far as I am aware we have projects planned for the waterfront on
Water St. and on the old Sugar refinery property which will also involve buildings which will
reduce sight lines to the Harbour for those living in the city.
I think before granting variances for height, the city needs a clear plan on how it will maintain
sight lines for the benefit of those that live and work uptown and to preserve the character of
the city. Surrounding the uptown in a wall of buildings will not do this.
To reiterate, I support this project. But but the city needs a plan in place first (if it doesn't
have one) to preserve the water view for those working and living uptown. This is a resource
we all share.

PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE
December 15, 2021
Her Worship Mayor Donna Noade Reardon and
Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Councillors:
SUBJECT: Zoning By-law Amendment. Section 59 Amendment and
Variance Application
35 Water Street
.2k^11
The City of Saint John
On November 15, 2021, Common Council referred the above matter to the
Planning Advisory Committee for a report and recommendation. The Committee
considered the attached report at its December 14, 2021, meeting.
Mr. Chris Elias, of the Elias Management Group, appeared before the Committee
and expressed agreement with Staff Recommendation, but requested a revision
to condition 5. (a) of the Staff recommendation to reduce the minimum number of
parking spaces in the recommendation from 400 to 350. Mr. Elias noted
additional barrier free units were being provided in the development which affect
the number of parking spaces. Mr. Andrew Carruthers and Ms. Beth MacLeod of
Lydon Lynch Architects also appeared before the Committee and provided an
overview of the proposed development and the design of the site and buildings.
They noted structured parking was being provided above ground as a Climate
Change measure due to rising water levels and that the raised elevation of the
site and sidewalk along Water Street also were in response to Climate Change.
In response to questions from the Committee, City Staff noted they were
agreeable to the proposed amendment to the recommendation reducing the
number of parking spaces from 400 to 350 as the site is within the Parking
Exemption Area, where no parking is required to be provided. Staff also noted
that the recommendation is structured to only provide approval at this time to the
detailed design of the first phase of the development and the overall massing and
height for the remainder of the development. Detailed design of the remaining
buildings and areas adjacent to Loyalist Plaza and the extended Harbour
Passage will be subject to further design which will be approved through a future
amendment to the Section 59 conditions. This approach allows for public
consultation through the future amendment process as well as Committee and
Council approval of the ultimate design of future phases. Staff also responded to
Page 1 of 6
157
Fundy Quay Developments Inc. 35 Water Street December 15, 2021
questions from the Committee related to additional traffic signals on Water Street
at the site access, noting these would be required at a later phase of
development based on additional review and that the operation of additional
traffic signals can be coordinated with existing signals to allow for optimum traffic
flow.
Two committee members stated that it would have been helpful for PAC to have
a longer review period for a `Big Move' project proposal that would have such a
large impact on the city's future.
Jeffrey Cyr of Envision Saint John appeared before the Committee and provided
an overview of the development process for the site noting the development of
the site has been pursued for quite some time including past proposals to
develop the site. Mr. Cyr also provided an overview of site constraints including
subsurface soil conditions and underground infrastructure related to the seawall
around the site. He also provided an overview of the financial benefits of the
project and noted that areas of the site that were not actively being developed or
used for construction support would be topsoiled and hydroseeded.
The developer and architects responded to questions from the Committee related
to parking ratios, and interim uses of the site.
No other persons appeared before the Committee and two letters were received
regarding the application.
Following consideration of the presentations, letters, and Staff report, the
Committee adopted a motion recommending that Common Council adopt the
revised staff recommendation with the reduced number of parking spaces from
400 to 350, as provided below. The Committee also approved a variance relating
to the upper storey step back to allow for the proposed building to be developed
without the provision of 3-metre fagade step backs at the 14 metre and 24 metre
elevations

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Fundy Quay project is a catalytic project for the City involving a key waterfront development
site which has been actively pursued for many years, identified as one of the Big Moves in the
Central Peninsula Secondary Plan (CPSP), and identified as a catalytic project by the City, the
multi -phase mixed use development will include five buildings having a total floor area of 69,700
square metres plus an internal parkade including a minimum of 400 parking spaces and 677
dwelling units. The mix of uses will bring additional residential density to the Central Peninsula,
which aligns with the goals of the Municipal Plan and the Secondary Plan and will bring
additional animation to waterfront on a 24/7 basis through increased density and public space
improvements including an extension of Harbour Passage, publicly accessible open space and
through leveraging improvements to the adjacent market slip public space.
A phased approach to the approvals is recommended which provides approvals for the first
phase of the project along with the overall massing and height for the entire development, while
ensuring future phases are subject to a full public review and Council approval. This provides
certainty for the developer but allows for control over the detailed design aspects of future
phases of the project to ensure a high -quality project and thoughtful integration with the
surrounding Public Realm and waterfront given the prime waterfront location.
Staff have assessed the proposal against the applicable policies of the Municipal and
Secondary Plans and are recommending approval of the application to rezone the site, which is
currently vacant, from Waterfront Commercial (CW) and Uptown Commercial (CU) to Waterfront
Commercial Integrated Development (CWID), subject to a series of Section 59 conditions.
Committee approval of variances related to building stepbacks are also recommended.

DECISION HISTORY
On December 2, 2019, Common Council amended existing Section 59 conditions imposed on
PID 55235113 for the purposes of expanding the list of permitted uses in order to permit a
commercial parking lot to operate in the interim prior to the sea wall upgrades, site preparation,
and redevelopment of the site.
On May 7, 2012, Common Council gave third reading to rezone the subject property from "ID"
Integrated Development and Transportation "T" to "ID-W' Integrated Development — Waterfront.
Council further resolved, pursuant to Section 39 (now Section 59) of the Community Planning
Act, that the development and use of the property be subject to the following conditions:
Page 5 of 20
1�
Fundy Harbour Group 35 Water Street (South Market Wharf) December 10, 2021
a. The use of the site shall consist of a mixture of residential, retail, commercial/office
and/or hospitality uses as generally described in the submitted proposal of the Saint
John Development Corporation dated March 9, 2012, and entitled "Rezoning Application
— Fundy Quay Development, City of Saint John, Saint John, New Brunswick."
b. No portion of the site shall be developed except in accordance with detailed plans
including, but not limited to, a context plan, a site plan, typical building floor plans,
building elevations, a landscape plan, and a grading plan, all of which are to be prepared
by the proponent of the development and subject to the approval of Common Council, as
a statutory amendment to these conditions.
The 2012 application was made following Saint John Development Corporation securing the
property from the Government of Canada (Department of Fisheries and Oceans) between 2011-
2012 and was intended to aid in attracting developers by rezoning the property for a mixed -use
development opportunity. The 2012 development concept included a residential, retail,
commercial/office and hospitality uses and a 25' Harbour Passage extension around the
perimeter. This approach provided the Saint John Development Corporation with sufficient
zoning approvals to market the site to interested parties, with the ultimate project design subject
to City approval through a Section 59 Amendment.
ANALYSIS
Proposal
Formerly a series of tidal slips, the Fundy Quay site was created in the 1950s through infill to
provide for Coast Guard operations. These operations continued until 2019, when the Coast
Guard fully relocated to other areas of the city. With decline in Coast Guard operations and the
fact that most of the peninsula's waterfront has been occupied by Port or industrial uses, the
Fundy Quay site has long been identified as a strategic waterfront redevelopment site. After
several informal proposals in the 1990s, a call for proposals through the Saint John
Development Corporation was first issued in 2005 to redevelop the site. The two major
challenges facing the site throughout this time have been soil conditions and the condition of the
seawall. There have been several false starts for redevelopment of the site since 2005. One of
these resulted in the subdivision and sale of a portion of the site to the Province for a proposed
New Brunswick Museum, which was later cancelled. In 2019, the Elias Management Group
(EMG) was selected as the successful proponent in response to a call for expressions by
Envision Saint John (formerly Develop Saint John).
In conjunction with the selection of EMG, significant federal/provincial funding was secured,
more than $18 million, to address the major challenges in redeveloping the site. In addition to
the repair and raising of the seawall and site remediation activities, tri-lateral funding will provide
for a complete refurbishment of the adjacent Market Slip public space and extension of Harbour
Passage around the perimeter of the Fundy Quay site. In addition, a possible pedway link to the
Fundy Quay site from Market Square was included in the funding proposal. These public spaces
and the pedway are illustrated in the conceptual renderings prepared by Lydon Lynch of the
Page 6 of 20
1366
Fundy Harbour Group 35 Water Street (South Market Wharf) December 10, 2021
Fundy Quay site. EMG has been working with the landscape architect of these two public
spaces to ensure coordination of public/private activities. The Market Slip public space
refurbishment is scheduled to be completed by early 2023 and the Harbour Passage extension
before the end of 2023. Through the lease agreement, EMG is required to purchase the
property by no later than the 25th year of the lease. Subdivision of the Harbour Passage
extension lands will be required to ensure these lands are maintained under city ownership.
Five buildings are proposed for the site, with four of the buildings (referred to as the SE, SW,
NW, and NE buildings) incorporating a mix of uses including residential, office, retail, personal
service, restaurant, and accommodation. A fifth building, located proximate to the Waterfront, is
envisioned to house uses such as a community centre, cultural establishments, and commercial
entertainment. Structured parking will be incorporated into the buildings and publicly accessible
green space will be provided. The proposed total gross floor area of the buildings is 69,700 sq.
m. (750,000 sq. ft) including residential, commercial, and cultural uses, not including parkade
areas of 23,250 sq. m. (250,000 sq. ft.) which will incorporate 440 parking spaces.
The development is anticipated to be constructed in five phases as follows.

Building heights will range from 6 storeys (25 metres) for the SW building to 19 storeys (70
metres) for the NE building.
The first building constructed will be the SE building which will incorporate commercial at grade
along Water Street. The SE building will have a gross floor area of 15,515 square metres, with
1,115 square metres of commercial floor space and 14,400 square metres of residential floor
space providing 165 units. A total of 168 parking spaces will be provided in conjunction with the
first building, with 15 spaces located along Water Street and 153 spaces within the building.
' Should no public entity come forward with interest in this site, a small mixed -use building is
proposed to take its place.

Fundy Harbour Group 35 Water Street (South Market Wharf) December 10, 2021
The two easternmost buildings will have direct street access to Water Street, with the three
buildings on the waterfront side of the development accessed via an internal drive aisle which
also provides access to parking and loading areas.
The development further proposes to donate public diagonal parking along the West edge of
Water Street. An easement may be considered for below -grade services running under the
central drive aisle.
Site and Neighbourhood
The subject site is in the Uptown area of Saint John, abutting Water Street and a slip controlled
by Port Saint John. A portion of the site was occupied by a four -storey office building and
garage, used by the Coast Guard as an administration building. Following the City's acquisition
of the site from the Federal Government, portions of the site were used for parking. The majority
of the 2.6-hectare site is currently zoned Waterfront Commercial (CW) with a 531 square metre
portion in the northeast corner of the site zoned Uptown Commercial (CU).
A slip is located south of the site with Port lands further to the south along Water Street being
developed into a container village for future event programming including the Area 506 Festival.
Market Square, Market Slip, and Loyalist Plaza are located north of the site, with Public Space
improvements planned for Loyalist Plaza and the Market Slip area. A mix of residential and
commercial uses are located along the west side of Water Street and in the surrounding Uptown
area.
Municipal Plan and Rezoning
Municipal Plan and Central Peninsula Secondary Plan (CPSP)
The site, and the surrounding area is located within the Uptown Primary Centre as designated
by the Municipal Plan. This area is the City's highest intensity mixed -use development area and
contains a mix of uses including major office and government developments and a wide range
of other commercial uses, including specialty retail and the region's arts, cultural, and
entertainment facilities. Development of high -density residential uses are also strongly
encouraged in this area.
Development on the site is also governed by the Central Peninsula Secondary Plan (CPSP)
adopted in 2020. The CPSP guides development and investment to ensure the area continues
to function as the Greater Saint John Region's major mixed -used centre.
With regards to the Secondary Plan, the site is in the Uptown Core and Central Waterfront area,
with the CPSP establishing key directions for development in this area including the following:
• Mid -rise and tall buildings to accommodate full build -out and to capitalize on market and
zoning provisions for commercial and residential density.
• Where appropriate, buildings will incorporate non-residential ground floor uses to
maintain and enhance a vibrant, pedestrian -oriented urban environment, animating the
public realm.
Page 8 of 20
1-IM
Fundy Harbour Group 35 Water Street (South Market Wharf) December 10, 2021
• Street wall heights are regulated through setbacks and stepbacks to maintain a
comfortable, human -scaled built environment.
• Existing civic spaces are strengthened to support green space and recreation amenities
in the core; new civic spaces along the waterfront will support increased access to the
waterfront.
• New infill development will feature a mix of uses and high -quality design which will
maintain and enhance urban form.
• A mix of structured and dense, on -street parking to accommodate residents, employees,
and visitors.
Big Moves are also identified over the horizon of the CPSP for catalytic projects that would
define key areas of the Central Peninsula. Two Big Moves relate to the proposed development:
• Develop the Central Waterfront as a key mixed use educational and cultural destination:
Key components of this are the incremental development of the Coast Guard Site as a
mixed -use cultural destination on the waterfront, and an enhanced streetscape along
Water Street between King Street and the south end of the Marco Polo cruise terminal.
• Reinforce east -west connections between the two core anchors of the Waterfront and
King's Square: This includes enhancing Loyalist Plaza as a contemporary public space
through the installation of imaginative seating, planting, and other landscaping elements.
A detailed assessment of the proposal with respect to the policies of the Municipal Plan and
CPSP is provided in Attachment 2. This was also informed by a Third -Party Design Review of
the proposed site layout and building.
The proposed development introduces a mixed -use concept on a key waterfront development
site on the City's Central Peninsula. The increased residential density and commercial uses
provide additional development and population within one of the City's key Primary Centres and
conform to many key directions and policies in the Municipal Plan and Central Peninsula
Secondary Plan. Based on the assessment provided in Attachment 2, Staff are of the opinion
the proposed development conforms to the Municipal Plan and Secondary Plan.
Rezoning
The applicant has requested a rezoning from the current zoning of the site, Waterfront
Commercial (CW) and Uptown Commercial (CU) to Waterfront Commercial Integrated
Development (CWID). This zone accommodates mixed -use waterfront development primarily
located on large, brownfield sites such as the subject site.
The CWID zone does not provide for a prescriptive list of permitted uses and detailed design
standards such as height and setbacks. Instead, a specific development proposal, such as the
one proposed for the site, would be accommodated through a suite of Section 59 conditions and
agreements that would outline the permitted uses and standards for the proposal including
setbacks, height, built form and parking.
Page 9 of 20

Fundy Harbour Group 35 Water Street (South Market Wharf) December 10, 2021
Staff note the ability to review future phases of the design is an important consideration in the
approvals of a multi -phase development. While the detailed design of Phase 1 has been
provided, along with an overall concept outlining the height and massing for the development
along with information on cladding materials and overall window proportions on upper storeys,
future phases will involve detailed design of key interfaces with the Public Realm surrounding
the site. These public spaces include Harbour Passage and Market Slip, which are important
open spaces within the Uptown and the City. To provide a degree of certainty with the ultimate
design of the future phases including building materials, landscaping, and the design of the
public space interfaces beyond the initial phase, Staff recommend that the detailed design of the
future phases be adopted through a Section 59 amendment. This will provide an avenue to
review the detailed design of these phases with the overall approval of key design parameters
such as height, massing, floor areas and uses within the development provided with this initial
application, providing a degree of certainty to the proponent. The approval continued in this
report provides for the approval of the ultimate design of the first building and the massing and
height concept for the overall site.
This approach of requiring additional review for the detailed design of future phases of the
development also allows for urban design considerations related to the public realm
components of the overall development, such as pedestrian circulation areas, the interior
courtyard, and interfaces with Loyalist Plaza and Harbour Passage to be assessed. Staff note
that the City -led design of the adjacent Loyalist Plaza redevelopment and Harbour Passage
extension is ongoing. As the design of these external components have yet to be finalized, the
overall integration of the pedestrian edges of the proposed development with the ultimate
design of the adjacent City -owned public spaces cannot effectively be assessed. Given this,
future design approval of the areas of the proposed development that interface with adjacent
City open space areas provides for a better degree of control to achieve integration of the
private development and adjacent public spaces.
Plans for the proposed site development show an elevated, enclosed pedway between Market
Square and the northwest building in the development. As additional details relating to the
pedway design and placement have yet to be finalized and involve adjacent lands that are not
the subject of this application, Staff recommend that approval of the pedway not be given at this
time, but instead be subject to a future approval. This will provide for additional review of the
ultimate design for the pedway connection by Staff, the Public, the Planning Advisory
Committee and Common Council and could be incorporated with the approval of a future phase
of development on the subject site.
Massing and Shadows
The Northeastern and Southeastern buildings incorporate five -storey podium heights, which
creates a street wall that generally matches that found along the east side of Water Street.
Relief is provided to the podiums to reduce the scale of the podiums, reflecting the scale found
in the historic district along the east side of Water Street. This includes differentiation of the
commercial ground floors from the upper stories vertically and the use of variations in cladding
Page 10 of 20

Fundy Harbour Group 35 Water Street (South Market Wharf) December 10, 2021
materials and window patterns to break the podiums down to a human scale and provide
relation to the Public Realm.
The proponent has considered the effects the building will have on shadows cast onto adjacent
public spaces including Water Street, Harbour Passage and Loyalist Plaza. Renderings (see
submission 4) were provided for June 21st, September 21st and December 21st and track the
shadows during different periods of the day. The proposed development will cast a shadow on a
variety of public spaces at different times throughout the three scenarios. The largest impacts
are seen in the December scenario, which will largely impact Loyalist Plaza and Water Street.
To minimize shadow impacts the tower floorplates have been kept small and their scale
massing impacts have been further reduced through the placement of balconies and cladding
strategies. The overall massing of the buildings is terraced from the northeast of the site to the
southwest. The tallest building in the northeast of the site is of comparable height to the City
Hall building and Brunswick House. From this building, the northwest and southeast buildings
stepdown to the lowest building at the southwest corner of the site. This terracing approach
maintains views from further into the site, and daylights the centre court of the development.
The design of the podium of the northwest building includes a clipping of the northwest corner to
the podium to provide a visual connection between Market Slip and the proposed cultural
building while maximizing the evening sun exposure to the Market Square patios. The three
towers are offset to the eastern edge of their podiums to minimize shading on the Market Slip
Plaza to the north of the site and concentrating the massing close to the adjacent developed
areas east of the site.
The proposed approach to the height and massing seeks to limit the impacts of shadows on the
adjacent Loyalist Plaza and Market Slip areas. Staff note shadow impacts are less prevalent
during the summer months when higher levels of pedestrian activity would be expected in these
areas. Design of the redevelopment of Loyalist Plaza and Market Slip is progressing, and it is
expected that lighting will be retained to provide for this space to accommodate activities in the
nighttime hours which also provides for low light levels associated with shadow conditions,
particularly during the winter months to be mitigated.
Parkinq
The development is proposing to provide a total of 440 parking spaces which are largely
provided through internal parkades within the podiums of the proposed buildings. Above -ground
parkades are held to the middle of the site and are generally wrapped by residential suites or
commercial offices along the Water Street and key external facades of the proposed
development which provides animation to key external faces of the development. Although the
applicant has noted exposed parkade facades will be seamlessly integrated with the rest of the
building and will be clad with high quality materials, Staff note however, facades along the
internal access could use additional animation to prevent the presence of a blank wall because
of the parking placement. The provision of the structured parking within the podiums allows for
structured parking to be provided without excavation below critical flood plain levels.
Page 11 of 20
14M
Fundy Harbour Group 35 Water Street (South Market Wharf) December 10, 2021
The site is within the Uptown Parking Exemption Area, so no parking is required to be provided
in conjunction with the development. Given this, the 440 spaces provided is acceptable and
Staff note the amount of parking provided by the proponent generally conforms to the
requirements of the Zoning By -Law if the development was not exempt from parking provisions.
The applicant notes parking dimensions will be in conformance with By -Law requirements. Staff
recommend the requirement to provide a minimum of 440 parking spaces be incorporated into
the proposed Section 59 conditions for the site. While the site is exempt from providing parking,
the inclusion of parking spaces by the proponent meets the ultimate requirements of future
tenants with the provision of the majority of the parking as structured parking meeting the intent
and policies of the Municipal Plan.
Amenity Space
Amenity space for the residents of the development will include balconies, podium rooftop
space, and internal space to satisfy By -Law requirements. In addition, the development will
include publicly accessible green space and benefit from a location adjacent to an extended
Harbour Passage and a redesigned Loyalist Plaza.
Amendment to the Height Map/Wind Impacts
The Zoning By -Law provides a framework for building heights on the Central Peninsula through
the height map in Schedule G of the Zoning By -Law. This approach limits building heights on
the site to 28 metres over most of the site and 42 metres in the northeast portion of the site.
The proponent has requested additional height to respond to the relatively low geodetic grade of
the site and rising flood levels associated with Climate Change. The low elevation of the site
and proximity to the waterfront affects the ability to provide structured parking below grade as
the structured parking would be below the adjacent water level which is forecast to increase due
to Climate Change impacts. This consideration, combined with considerations related to areas
of contaminated soil on the site provide constraints on the provision of underground parking. To
provide for a sufficient amount of parking within the development, structured parking will be
located above grade which adds approximately 23,336 square metres (250,000 square feet) of
floor areas within the building podiums which results in the occupied areas of the building such
as residential and office space being above this requiring additional storeys and height.
Building heights are proposed as follows:
• NE Building - 19 Storeys/70 metres
• SE Building - 16 Storeys/60 metres
• NW Building - 16 Storeys/60 metres
• SW Building — 6 Storeys/25 metres (no amendment required)
These heights are comparable to the 60-metre maximum height permitted in the Uptown
Commercial (CU) zone which is found in areas adjacent to the site. To reflect the surrounding
neighbourhood context, the height and massing of the development decreases from northeast
to southwest on the site. The tallest building in the development is at the northeast corner of the
site which is comparable in height to City Hall and Brunswick House found to the northeast of
Page 12 of 20
14734
Fundy Harbour Group 35 Water Street (South Market Wharf) December 10, 2021
the site. The proposed design strategically locates the highest buildings to minimize the impact
to the public plaza to the North, and Harbour Passage to the West. Staff also note the proposed
design has buildings which step down to the water's edge preserving views to the water. A
Section 59 condition is also recommended requiring the detailed design of future buildings to be
adopted through the Section 59 amendment process to provide for the review of the detailed
design with respect to considerations such as cladding and materials, landscaping and
relationship to the surrounding Public Realm.
Staff are supportive of the proposed map amendment, given the general conformance with the
maximum height permitted in the Uptown Commercial Zone. The applicant has also completed
shadow and wind studies which have identified no impact from the additional height beyond that
permitted.
A Wind Study, entitled "Pedestrian Wind Assessment — Orbital Stack", was prepared and
submitted by the applicant as part of the application package. Due to the size of the
development site, its location on the waterfront and the proposed height, staff requested the
wind study to assess the potential impact the development might have on the pedestrian
experience. A wind study is intended to assess a proposed development and suggest methods
to improve any areas that are identified as having problematic wind conditions. The goal of a
windy study is not to require a large-scale revision of a design, but to provide reasonable
recommendations that target specific areas of the development site.
The submitted document provides a summer and winter comparison of the existing wind
conditions with the proposed wind conditions being based on the complete build -out of the site.
This ensures that the study focuses on the wind conditions that are directly altered due to the
proposed development.
The summer assessment indicates that the proposed configuration will impact the wind
conditions as follows:
• Decrease the wind levels located at the water's edge of the development site.
• Eliminate existing wind issues at the base of King Street and along Chipman Hill.
• Will create incremental increases to the wind conditions at the following locations:
o Water Street
o Waterfront portion of Loyalist Plaza.
The winter assessment indicates that the proposed configuration will impact the wind conditions
as follows:
• Decrease the wind levels located at the water's edge of the development site.
• Decrease the existing wind issues at the base of King Street and along Chipman Hill.
• Will create incremental increases to the wind conditions at the following locations:
o Water Street
o Waterfront portion of Loyalist Plaza.
Page 13 of 20
W215
Fundy Harbour Group 35 Water Street (South Market Wharf) December 10, 2021
The Wind Study indicates that the proposed development will not create unsafe wind conditions
for pedestrians. The site development will generally improve existing wind conditions on the
development site and the surrounding area. Some areas will see an increase in the wind
conditions; however, the Wind Study has outlined some design considerations which will serve
to improve some of the impacted areas located along the building's perimeter, along the
adjacent sidewalks, around the building entrances and the proposed upper -level terraces. Staff
recommends that these design considerations be incorporated as part of the detailed design for
the buildings through recommended Section 59 conditions.
Design Review
The City secured an independent architectural firm to undertake a Third -Party Design Review of
the submitted design. The Design Review focused on the urban design aspects of the proposal
including compatibility with the surrounding built form and public realm and the ability of the
design to minimize the impact of the project scale on the pedestrian realm.
As the City does not have dedicated internal architectural or urban design staff, larger projects
are often reviewed by a third party as part of the planning approvals process. It is important to
note that the design review report is only a component of the overall Staff Recommendation
associated assessment upon which the recommendation is formed, constituting a review of just
one aspect of the overall design proposal akin to a traffic or servicing study or policy or by-law
analysis and just represents one of the interrelated aspects that must integrate to result in a
viable development.
Key findings of the design review were:
• A variance for additional building height proposed in the masterplan is acceptable
because the building design maintains a consistent street wall, which makes the height
of a tower of little consequence to the pedestrian experience.
• The 2.5m stepback, proposed for the tower from the podium, creates the necessary
separation of the tower massing from the street wall. This will create the perceived
consistent pedestrian experience of the built form, between the new and old building.
Therefore, the towers in their proposed locations do not create a problem for the
perspective of the pedestrian experience.
• Portions of the internal circulation areas are largely surrounded by parking garage
structures and blank walls. The resulting pedestrian experience of the interior courtyard
area may not be positive or benefit from "eyes on the street".
• The Water Street pedestrian experience will be improved greatly with the addition of the
proposed buildings, in essence completing the street with retail and commercial
functions on the ground floor.
• Raised pedways attract pedestrian traffic off the street below. This decrease in foot
traffic is detrimental to retail and hospitality businesses on the ground floor. Pedestrian
movement should be drawn down to street level to give these businesses a better
opportunity for success.
• Concerns with wind impacts were identified. Staff note a Section 59 condition is included
relating to mitigation measures for wind impacts along Water Street. With respect to
Page 14 of 20
1450
Fundy Harbour Group 35 Water Street (South Market Wharf) December 10, 2021
wind impacts along the western side of the development, Staff note that this area will be
subject to a further detailed design approved by a subsequent Section 59 amendment
providing the designers and developer with the opportunity to further review and design
mitigation in this area and also on the private amenity areas on the podium rooftops.
• The design review notes underground parking could be considered; however City Staff
note the potential for parking below the water level of the Harbour and contaminated
soils pose significant challenged to economically providing underground parking on the
site.
Means of mitigating shadow impacts were proposed in the design review, however Staff
note the greatest shadow impacts occur during the winter solstice when pedestrian
activity on the surrounding public spaces would be expected to be lower than during
months with more favourable weather conditions, which arguable reduces the impacts of
the shadows.
A copy of the design review has been provided to the applicant for their information and the
findings and recommendations will guide the detailed design of the buildings and subsequent
phases.
Staff note that to ensure a high -quality development, the applicant has proposed that the
following cladding materials be prohibited:
• Vinyl siding,
• Plywood,
• Exterior insulation and finish systems where stucco is applied to rigid insulation
• Vinyl windows
• Cinder block
Staff note the prohibition of a set of cladding materials provides the proponent and their design
team with a degree of flexibility to complete the detailed design with a palette of cladding
materials that provide an acceptable level of quality from an urban design perspective while
meeting the requirements of the building code. The proponent's architectural team has also
recommended the following allowable glazing percentages, which conform to or exceed the
standards of the Uptown Commercial (CU) zone:
• Allowable glazing percentages - Ground floor retail: 50-80%
• Allowable glazing percentages - Above -grade: 25-60%.
Staff recommend the list of prohibited materials and glazing percentages be incorporated as a
Section 59 condition for the site.

Servicing and Traffic
A Transportation Impact Study2 was prepared for the development. The site will be accessed
from Water Street, approximately 80 metres south of the intersection of St. Patrick Street and
King Street. The development is anticipated to generate the following traffic volumes on a
phase -by -phase basis.

These trip generation values account for the location of the development in the urban core as
Institute of Transportation Engineer's trip generation data for land uses within a city centre, or
central business district were used.
The proposed site access driveway and Water Street intersection is expected to exhibit
significant PM peak period congestion during the 2037 build condition. Given this, traffic signals
are recommended to be installed in conjunction with the development of Phase 4. The
consultant notes the driveway should be monitored prior to this phase and if queues for traffic
exiting the site driveway become 30 metres to 40 metres long frequently prior to the completion
of Phase 4, a formal assessment should be completed by an independent professional
engineer, as required by the City, to determine if traffic signals should be installed at the site
access driveway.
A review of the site plan was also a component of the Traffic Impact Study. The consultant
suggested exploring an option to create a shared pedestrian and vehicular space in the central
area of the development. This approach would be similar to the recent approach taken on
Argyle Street in Halifax, where all hard surfaces are flush and there are no barrier curbs to
physically separate cars from pedestrians and cyclists. Instead, vehicle lanes and parking
spaces are delineated, and positive guidance is provided to drivers through contrasting surface
colours, street furniture, and landscaping. This approach would provide sufficient space for
vehicles at the internal intersections while also maximizing space for pedestrians, seating,
lighting, and other amenities. The consultant also identified one-way circulation around the
internal outdoor parking area as a design option.
The consultant also reviewed the site plan with respect to the ability of larger vehicles such as
fire apparatus and delivery and service vehicles to access the site. The proposed layout is
generally not expected to present significant issues with access for larger vehicles. Planning

Fundy Harbour Group 35 Water Street (South Market Wharf) December 10, 2021
staff note this is an issue to be addressed in the detailed design stage with respect to the
placement of street trees and furnishings. In addition, stairs associated with the proposed
elevated pedestrian zone along the Water Street frontage appear to restrict the ability of larger
vehicles to access the site. Staff note the proponent's design proposes an elevated sidewalk
along the western portion of Water Street adjacent to the development along with additional
angled parking. Staff recommend a Section 59 condition requiring review and approval of the
detailed design for this specific component of the proposed development to ensure appropriate
design measures are employed for aspects including landscaping, wayfinding, accessibility,
parking operations and pedestrian circulation.
Infrastructure Development has reviewed the servicing requirements related to the development
and is supportive of the application. Servicing flows were modelled to confirm downstream
infrastructure can accommodate the anticipated flows as a result of the development. The
following items are recommended for inclusion as Section 59 conditions:
• That the development of the parcel of land be in accordance with the provided Phasing
Plan and proposed servicing demands provided to date.
• That the developer provides to the City any easements and/or rights -of -way for all
municipal infrastructure within the lands of the application and the relocated sidewalk
along the west side of Water Street.
• That the recommendations from the Traffic Impact Study prepared by CBCL Limited be
completed by the developer. These improvements include:
o That a subsequent traffic assessment be completed following the initial phases of
construction and the return of normal traffic conditions (after Phase 2 and before
Phase 3) to verify the results of the submitted study.
o Study recommendations related to the installation of Traffic Signals in conjunction
with Phase 4 of the proposed development be updated based on the updated traffic
assessment.
o Construction of the elevated sidewalk during Phase 1 to remove the need for
pedestrians to walk adjacent to Water Street traffic from the angled Water Street
parking spaces and the adjacent sidewalk.
• If any municipal infrastructure improvements are required to service this proposal, it will
be the owner/developer's full responsibility and cost to complete. Prior to determining
this, detailed engineering plans and a design brief must be submitted by the
owner/developer's engineering consultant to the City for review and approval by the City.
Active Transportation
The City of Saint John's Active Transportation (AT) network provides a high level of
connectivity across several facilities, including sidewalks and multi -use trails, which are all
accessible immediately adjacent to the Fundy Quay development. The proximity of these
facilities would allow pedestrians to walk or bike to several major trip attractors in the area,
including commercial offices, retail stores, and businesses in the city center.
Page 17 of 20
14M
Fundy Harbour Group 35 Water Street (South Market Wharf) December 10, 2021
Furthermore, the extension of the Harbour Passage along the perimeter of the site will
provide a welcomed link for north -south travel along the uptown peninsula for pedestrians
and cyclists. Due to the proximity of existing and planned AT facilities, it is expected that a
significant portion of trips generated by the Fundy Quay will be made via AT modes.
Environmental Issues/Climate Change Impacts
The site is located proximate to the Saint John Waterfront/Bay of Fundy which presents
concerns with the potential for impacts associated with storm surge and sea level rise. To adapt
to forecasted climate change impacts, work is underway to raise the seawall around the site and
raise the overall elevation of the site. The risk of flooding from the waterfront location and the
presence of impacted soils places significant constraints on the provision of underground
parking and the placement of buildings in the overall design concept. The site design seeks to
adapt to future climate change impacts and environmental constraints on the site while
providing a development that is feasible from an economic perspective.
Affordable Housing
The applicant has indicated they are currently looking into the inclusion of an affordable housing
component within Phase 1 and will also investigate the provision of affordable housing in the
subsequent phases of the development.
Economic Impacts
The Fundy Quay public space improvements are part of a broader project to transform Saint
John's urban waterfront, with an agreement for private sector development on the Fundy Quay
site, creating a strong business case for the project. The Ground Lease with the developer is
based on a maximum value of $6.45 million and will generate initial lease payments of $250,000
annually until purchased. The development of the site is anticipated to generate between $2
million to $3 million in annual property tax revenue at full build out.
Stepback Variance
The Zoning By -Law requires a 3-metre stepback of the building facade at an elevation of 14
metres. The proponent is seeking a variance from this standard. In support of the variance, the
proponent's architect has noted a street wall height is proposed along the Water Street facades
that relates to the existing street wall along the east side of Water Street. Staff note the street
wall height along the east side of Water Street, within the Trinity Royal Heritage Conservation
Area, is also regulated through the Zoning By -Law.
The applicant is requesting the location of the 3-metre step back be varied from 14 metres to
the following elevations:
NE Building: 21.5 metres to match the 21.5 metre Maximum Street Wall Heights shown
for the Eastern side of Water Street within the Trinity Royal Heritage Conservation Area
• SE Building: 21.5 metres to match the 21.5 metre Maximum Street Wall Heights shown
for the Eastern side of Water Street within the Trinity Royal Heritage Conservation Area
Page 18 of 20
14�D
Fundy Harbour Group 35 Water Street (South Market Wharf) December 10, 2021
NW Building: 21.5 metres to match the 21.5 metre Maximum Street Wall Heights shown
for the Eastern side of Water Street within the Trinity Royal Heritage Conservation Area
• SW Building: 16 metres to allow enough above -ground parking to service the building.
Also, in lieu of a 3-metre step back depth, the applicant is proposing a 2.5 metre step back at
the above locations. This 0.5-metre reduction would enable the towers to remain as close to the
eastern edge of the site as possible and minimize their afternoon shading and impact on the
public plaza to the North. In addition to the 2.5 metre proposed step back, to further mitigate the
effects of `downwash' wind effects, street trees will be integrated at grade to increase pedestrian
wind comfort. Staff are supportive of the proposed variance to increase the location of the step
back from 14 metres elevation to 21.5 metres for the NE, SE, and NW buildings and to 16
metres for the SW building and to reduce the stepback from 3 metres to 2.5 metres.
Staff are also supportive of the variance to eliminate the 3-metre step back at the 24-metre
elevation, given the building design elements which respect the Trinity Royal Heritage area on
the east side of Water Street and the building design which incorporates balconies and cladding
on the upper storeys.
Conclusion
Staff recommend approval of the application as it conforms to the overall intent of the Municipal
Plan and Secondary Plan and supports mixed -use intensification of a strategic development site
in the Central Peninsula. Design elements are proposed which minimize the impacts of the
additional height.
Given the analysis provided in this report, the rezoning is recommended along with an
amendment to the Maximum Height map. A suite of Section 59 conditions is recommended
relating to site and building design and servicing.
ALTERNATIVES AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
No alternatives were assessed.

the opposite side of Water Street.
The design of the initial building acknowledges
the prominence of the surrounding brick heritage

development and enhancement of the public realm
in the Uptown Waterfront:
a. Maximize opportunities to provide direct public
access or proximity to the water. Areas that are
currently accessible will be protected and enhanced
for public use. Harbour Passage will continue to be
reinforced and enhanced as the spine of the public
realm system. While it should be clear that Harbour
Passage is a continuous trail, its character can vary in

4.3.4 Urban Design Principles for the Uptown
Waterfront
Policy UD-13
Encourage waterfront locations within the Uptown
Waterfront to be reserved for those uses that
require, or benefit from, a waterfront setting. In
considering waterfront development projects,
Council shall give consideration to the following built
form principles:
a. Wherever appropriate, development proposals will
demonstrate opportunities for the site to be
intensified over time. The objective is to promote the
highest and best use of waterfront lands so that a
critical mass of activity is achieved;
b. A mix of uses will be provided in new development
proposed on larger site(s) and/or where more than
one building is proposed. Appropriate uses include:
residential, business or commercial, institutional,
Port -related, and community facility or public uses;
c. Active public uses will be located at grade in new
buildings which demonstrate a well -articulated
building fagade with a regular pattern of windows
and a highly transparent ground floor fagade on both
the street and waterfront edges to provide an
animated edge to public areas and an enhanced
pedestrian atmosphere. Wherever possible, these
uses will front onto Harbour Passage and pedestrian
promenades as well to enhance their animation and
safety;
And
d. The provision of retail, restaurant and other
service -oriented uses within the Uptown Waterfront
The building will be constructed to meet the
requirements of the National Building Code of
Canada.
The proposed site design strategically locates the
service areas, including surface parking and loading
zones, to less visible areas of the site. The surface
parking is concealed by the buildings on the eastern,
northern, and southern boundaries and part of the
western boundary. The loading zone is co -located
with the emergency access along the southern
property boundary of the site.
The proposed buildings range in height from 6-
storeys (25m) to 19-storeys (70m). The height of the
buildings will enable the development site to
accommodate a mixture of commercial and
residential uses, therefore, increasing the residential

The proponent has considered the effects the
building will have on shadows cast onto the adjacent
public spaces. Renderings (see submission 4) were
provided for June 21", September 215t and December
21" and track the shadows during different periods of
the day. The proposed development will cast a show
on a variety of public spaces at different times
throughout both scenarios. The largest impacts are
seen in the December scenario, which will largely
impact Loyalist Plaza and Water Street.
In addition, a Wind Study was completed and
submitted to assess any impact the new construction
will have on the pedestrian realm. The Wind Study
indicates that the proposed development will not
create unsafe wind conditions for pedestrians. The
site development will generally improve existing wind
conditions on the development site and the
surrounding area. Some areas will see an increase in
the wind conditions; however, the Wind Study has
outlined some design considerations which will serve
to improve some of the wind locations located along
the building's perimeter, along the adjacent
sidewalks, around the building entrances and for the
proposed upper -level terraces.
The proposed development will be occurring during a
time when the City is undertaking a revitalization of
Loyalist Plaza and is establishing an extension of
Harbour Passage along the waterfront portion of the
development site.

Design Review Summary
The following document provides review, comments
and suggestions of the Fundy Quay Masterplan
developed by Lydon Lynch Architects for Elias
Management Group.
The masterplan proposes the construction of 5
buildings, developed in five separate phases. The
duration between the start of each phase will be
determined by market demand. The developer is not
held accountable to the programs or occupancy type,
only massing and other specific items that may be
suggested in this document, nor would there be any
penalty for not completing all phases.
This review is divided into 3 chapters.
1. Full Masterplan: A review of the completed 5
phase development in terms of massing, shadow
study, building heights, site landscaping plan,
public realm integration and impacts on adjacent
public property (Water Street, Harbour Passage,
Market slip).
2. Phase 1 Building: A review of architectural
and urban design elements of the building, (i.e.
massing, materials, appropriate access and
public realm integration) and building design in
the context of the surrounding built environment,
with a particular emphasis on the pedestrian
experience. Recommendations associated with
design elements include cladding materials and
step backs to ensure the building is designed to
complement the existing context and achieve a
positive public realm.
3. Full Masterplan Recommendations: Proposed
site design/parking strategy.

The proposed street wall of the podium along Water
Street is in keeping with the context. However, if
additional floor to floor height be requested, it is
recommended that the total podium height match the
existing East side of Water Street of 25m, +/-1m. It is
more important that the overall street wall height the
same, rather than the number of storeys.

Massing:
The street wall next to North Market Wharf- 5 storey:
is in keeping with the context of the existing built form.
Though North Market Street buildings are a floor lower
than the proposed masterplan buildings from phase
3, 4, and 5, the distance is far enough away that they
will feel similar enough. The 3 new buildings will create
a new street wall, resulting in a comfortable sense of
enclosure around the new park. In addition, activating
the ground floor will provide a positive pedestrian
experience support the retail and hospitality
businesses.

Massing:
A variance for additional building height proposed in
the masterplan is acceptable because the building
design maintains a consistent street wall, which makes
the height of a tower of little consequence to the
pedestrian experience.
Three towers on one urban block, as designed is not
consistent with the surrounding context. However
the 2.5m set back, proposed for the tower from the
podium, creates the necessary separation of the
f
tower massing from the street wall. This will create
the perceived consistent pedestrian experience of
°-kEilll�q E��
the built form, between the new and old buildings.
Therefore, the towers in their proposed locations
do not create a problem for the perspective of the
pedestrian experience.
The proposed towers however may create undesirable
wind speeds in specific locations of the masterplan.
This is discussed further the following page: Wind
Study.

Full Masterplan
Wind Study:
The wind study provided by RWDI does indicate a few
problem areas that have uncomfortable wind speed as a
result of the proposed design.
(A) Channeling generated by the new street wall along
Water Street will increase the average wind speed at
street level. While this is not necessarily problematic,
on average it is however likely to increase the number of
uncomfortable days for pedestrians sitting on street side
patios. Additional trees and landscaping conducive to
reducing wind speed should be implemented here.
(B) Channeling winds at the South East retail/commercial
entrances for Phase 1 will be uncomfortable, on average,
for pedestrians. The high winds are not largely a result
of down drafts so the canopies shown in the design
will not significantly reduce wind speed. However,
recessed entries and other vertical obstructions would be
advisable. Further testing following design resolution will
be needed to validate and prove the design is reducing
wind speeds to a comfortable norm.
(C)The landscape area, surroundingthe Phase Three
building is programmed to be a leisure, public outdoor
space, but the building in its current design has sharp
corners which increases wind speeds and discomfort.
Rounding the building's corners, in addition to other
design strategies outlined in the RWDI study will be
important in this area.
(D)The close proximity of the towers to one another
generates a severe down draft onto the podium terraces,
which will not create the desired design intention of these
spaces. As written by Lydon Lynch as design rational for
the terraces: `Atop the podium rooftops, each building
will provide its residents with high quality indoor and
outdoor amenity spaces. A portion of the roofs will be
Breakhouse°
green roofs in order to provide residents with green space,
leisure activities..."Additional canopies are likely the
only potential solution to reduce wind speed, but likely
not to the degree of comfort, as required for the program
intended. Further design iteration and testing is required.

Shadow Study:
The towers located on the northern edge of the site
provide minimal shadow throughout the day onto
the internal courtyard space, but create extensive
shadows over the public park to the north.
An argument could be made that the commercial
tower located over the Phase 4 block would work
better if located over the phase 2 building (A), casting
a shadow over the interior parking lot instead of the
public park. Preferably, the interior courtyard area
would be sunny in the winter, but the low 6 storeys

would cast a full shadow over the courtyard in the
winter anyway. Therefore, building the tower there
instead would not change the sun loss in the area
dramatically over the winter, but would allow more
sun for the public park.
(B) Shadows will be cast over Water Street. The
existing buildings and ground floor uses will be
impacted by both an increase in shadow through
the later afternoon and increased wind speeds, as
mentioned in the Wind Study.

Pedestrian Experience:
The interior courtyard is largely surrounded by
parking garage structures. (A) The resulting pedestrian
experience of the interior courtyard (C) will not be
positive or create a feeling of safety in the evenings.
This area (C) has proposed retail, which needs high
pedestrian traffic to be successful. However, getting
to the courtyard space from Water Street and the
Harbour Passage Trail means traveling through
passageways that have 5 storey parking garage
facades (B) - undesirable and uninviting to walk in.
These narrow passages require pedestrians to travel
in one direction for the length of each podium, which
when unsupervised will commonly lead to an uneasy
and unsafe pedestrian experience.
Mitigation and design responses to improve
this include surrounding the interior courtyard
with residential occupancy. Parking would go
underground, or the entire courtyard level (C) raised
to accommodate a level of parking. Alternatively, the
space between the buildings offer alternative paths
of travel or are populated by commercial/retail and
residential occupancies.
The resulting pedestrian traffic from the design,
will be that the most commonly, people will enter
the courtyard will the river side (West End). In the
evenings / after working hours, the area will not be
visible from the street and only a very small section
of residential apartment units, leaving no "eyes on the
park" which also adds to a very unsafe and unpleasant
space. (C)

Pedestrian Experience:
Raised pedways attract pedestrian traffic off of
the street below. This decrease in foot traffic is
detrimental to retail and hopitality businesses on the
ground floor. Pedestrian movement should be drawn
down to street level to give these businesses a better
opportunity for success. Though extremely conveniel
to pedestrians, the urban repercussions of pedways
are damaging enough to businesses that they should
not be used in this development.
Purdy's Wharf (A) in Halifax is a good example of the
challenges that come with pedways. The result of
the successful traffic corridor has removed all retail,
hospitality and commercial uses from the ground
floor. Although the buildings are close to the water

Site Landscaping:
Elevated sidewalks increase vehicular traffic speed
which decreases pedestrian safety. The example
included is from Toronto (A). It does not have
parking along the edge of the raised level, however
it shows the separation of pedestrian and vehicular
traffic. From the designs illustrated, it is unclear how
pedestrians will move from the parking spot safely to
the elevated sidewalk. However increased division
of spaces, having a vehicular zone next to pedestrian
zone increases vehicular speed, and does not result in
increased safety.
Further, barrier -free access from the parking spots
is not clear from the proposal and may cause safety
concerns.

• The small section of the tower that connects
directly to the grade by the break in the street

Recommendations:
There are a significant number of challenges
resulting from the design and placement of
the parking structure which create a negative
pedestrian experience. Such as:
1. Significant parking area 3 and 4 storeys above
grade decrease "eyes on the park" therefore
reducing perceived safety.
2. The entrance into the courtyard space from
Water Street and the two side entrances are
between two long parking garage facades,
which creates a perceived level of risk to
pedestrians walking through.
3. The interior courtyard, though accessible
at grade in its current design, will have little
pedestrian traffic in shoulder seasons and
no visibility from Water Street. This creates a
perceived barrier to pedestrians and decreases
the area's foot traffic.
The proposed suggestion: Two levels of
parking over the entire site (A). The first is below
grade and the second above grade, creating a
raised courtyard (B). The retail spaces around
the perimeter cover the parking garage, creating
a continuous retail experience. (C)
Removing parking from the building podiums
creates a smaller building footprint, increasing
publicly accessible spaces with direct access
into residential and commercial areas. At the
same time, because the parking is below grade,
there is an increased area of residential units
and commercial floor area to each of the four
buildings surrounding the courtyard.
Sub -grade parking below water levels is not
uncommon in areas bordering large bodies
of water. Bishop's Landing in Halifax is a good
example worth studying.

Planning and Advisory Committee,
I would like to state my opposition to the construction of an overhead pedway from the Fundy Quay site to Market
Square for two reasons:
1
236
1. It will disrupt the flow and view of King Street and King's Square from market slip and the harbour. It may be an
eyesore on the uptown area when coming over the harbour bridge and appear disjointed compared to the surrounding
area.
2. It removes pedestrian traffic from the streets which makes it difficult for street level businesses to succeed and steals
vibrancy from the public realm. If businesses cannot survive, they will become empty spaces which will deteriorate the
look and feel of the site. The money saved in construction costs could be used to ensure accessibility for the disabled on
the site, and improved / safer street crossings and lighting.
Thank you
Andrew Chase

Fundy Quay Development LYDON LYNCH
2021.09.30 Re -Zoning Application
Planning Letter, Rationale and Project Information ARC HITECTU RE
1. Zoning Rationale
Schedule A: Zoning Map
Property zoning: Waterfront Commercial (CW)
Permitted uses: Commercial Use, Community Facility Use, Port Use, Residential Use.
1.1. We have been engaged by Elias Management Group to apply for a rezoning for the contract
area for Fundy Quay, as agreed upon with the City, for development. The first of the five
proposed buildings (the Southeastern -most) is further detailed, forming a development
agreement for that building only. The form, scale, and uses of the buildings are described in
the following sections.
1.2. The site is zoned Commercial Waterfront, which is understood effectively as a one-off
Comprehensive Development Zone, for which many regulations are determined based on
the application, and for which General Provisions Parts 4-9 do not apply. While it is not
explicitly required by the bylaw, every effort has been made that the proposed approaches
the general intent of these general regulations, as well as adjacent uptown commercial
zoning regulations.
1.3. Sections that do apply to the site, and to which we are requesting minor variances, include
the maximum building height, the maximum height of street wall and minimum street wall
setback. We feel that these variances create opportunities for the design to better respond
to the site, and better support the activation of the public spaces surrounding it. To support
these variances, pedestrian wind comfort and solar shading studies will be provided prior to
Planning Advisory Committee.
1.4. From an access and transportation perspective, the proposed development locates 5
buildings on -site, with direct public street access only to the two easternmost. The inward 3
buildings are proposed to be serviced by an internal drive aisle that allows for access to
parking, loading, and emergency service / fire department vehicles. The development
further proposes to donate public diagonal parking along the West edge of Water Street. An
easement may be considered for below -grade services running under the central drive aisle.
2. Master Plan Project Data (Refer to Drawing A-1)
2.1. Number of Buildings Proposed: 5
2.1.1. Community/Cultural Building
2.1.2. Southeast Mixed -Use Building (SE)
2.1.3. Southwest Mixed -Use Building (SW)
2.1.4. Northeast Mixed -Use Building (NE)
2.1.5. Northwest Mixed -Use Building (NW)
2.2. Proposed Uses:
2.2.1. Residential
2.2.2. Commercial / Business Office
2.2.3. Retail / Personal Service / Restaurant

2.2.4. Accommodation / Hotel
2.2.5. Community Centre/Cultural Establishment/Commercial Entertainment
2.2.6. Parking Structure
2.2.7. Publicly Accessible Greenspace
2.3. Proposed Gross Floor Area (and any other non-residential land uses):
2.3.1. Maximum Gross Finished Floor Area (GFA): 750,000 SF (69,700 sqm)
2.3.2. Parkade Floor Area: 250,000 SF (23,250 sqm)
2.4. Proposed Number of Residential Units: 677
2.4.1. SE Building: 165 units
2.4.2. SW Building: 111 units
2.4.3. NW Building: 173 units
2.4.4. NE Building: 188 units
2.4.5. Cultural/Community: 40 units*
2.4.5.1. * Should no public entity come forward with interest in this site, a small mixed -use
building is proposed to take its place.
2.5. Minimum Property Setbacks:
2.5.1. Front Lot Line: Om
2.5.2. Side Lot Lines: 3m
2.5.3. Rear Lot Line: 3m
2.6. Proposed Maximum Heights (not including elevator overrun/mechanical penthouses)
The proposed development requests a variance from the required maximum heights shown in
Schedule G: Central Peninsula Maximum Building Heights: NE corner of site Max Height 42M,• SW
area of site Max Height 28M. Additional height is required on site to account for the hardship of the
low geodetic grade and high (and rising) flood levels, which push all parking above grade. Over the
site, this adds +/- 250,000 square feet to the building podiums to allow for adequate parking, which
then pushes the occupied areas up a number of storeys. The resultant design is comparable in height
to what is allowable in the Uptown Zoning directly adjacent to the site, at 60m.The proposed design
strategically locates the highest buildings to minimize the impact to the public plaza to the North, and
to the Harbour Passage to the West. The requested heights are as listed below:
2.6.1. NE Building:
2.6.1.1. 19 Storeys
2.6.1.2. 70m From Average Grade
2.6.2. SE Building:
2.6.2.1. 16 Storeys
2.6.2.2. 60m From Average Grade
2.6.3. NW Building:
2.6.3.1. 16 Storeys
K91191
Fundy Quay Development LYDON LYNCH
2021.09.30 Re -Zoning Application
Planning Letter, Rationale and Project Information ARC HITECTU RE
2.6.3.2. 60m From Average Grade
2.6.4. SW Building:
2.6.4.1. 6 Storeys
2.6.4.2. 25m From Average Grade (no variance)
This proposal assumes the same Height Exemptions as the City of Saint John Zoning By -Low: 8.10
Height Exceptions: Notwithstanding any requirement of this By-law with respect to height, a chimney,
church spire, clock tower, communication tower, elevator enclosure, flagpole, skylight, solar collector,
television or radio antennae, ventilator, water tank, or any other similar structure shall be permitted
regardless of its height provided all other applicable provisions of this By-law are satisfied.
2.7. Maximum Street Wall Heights (From Average Grade)
This development requests a variance for the maximum street wall height, currently listed at 14m per
City of Saint John By -Law 15.2. The development proposes a street wall height to suit the existing
context of the properties to the east of Fundy Quay and per Schedule H: Trinity Royal Maximum
Street Wall Heights. The proposal incorporates a podium design approach that allows for a street
wall that matches the height and general character of the historic district on the East side of Water
Street (Trinity Royal). Reflecting the scale and textures of the historic buildings across the street, the
scale of the podiums are broken down horizontally and vertically. The commercial ground floors are
differentiated from the levels above, while horizontally through the use of varying cladding materials,
window patterns and commercial expressions, the podium of each tower is broken down into more
'human -scaled' portions, to be more in the likeness of the existing buildings to the East. This proposal
requests the following maximum street wall heights as listed below:
i. NE Building: 21.5m (To match the 21.5 m Maximum Street Wall Heights shown for
Eastern side of Water Street within the Trinity Royal Heritage Conservation Area)
ii. SE Building: 21.5m (To match the 21.5 m Maximum Street Wall Heights shown for
Eastern side of Water Street within the Trinity Royal Heritage Conservation Area)
iii. NW Building: 21.5m (To match the 21.5 m Maximum Street Wall Heights shown for
Eastern side of Water Street within the Trinity Royal Heritage Conservation Area)
iv. SW Building: 16m (To allow enough above -ground parking to service the building)
2.8. Minimum Tower Step -back
This development requests a variance for the 3m step back required at 14m and 24m per City of Saint
John By -Law 15.2. The development proposes a street wall and step back approach to suit the
existing context of the properties to the east of Fundy Quay in the Trinity Royal area, where a single
step back is required above the street wall. A small reduction in the depth of this step -back is
requested as a variance to enable the towers to remain as close to the eastern edge of the site as
possible and minimize their afternoon shading and impact on the public plaza to the North. In addition
to the 2.5m proposed step -back, to further mitigate the effects of 'downwash , street trees will be
integrated at grade to increase pedestrian wind comfort. This proposal requests the following step
back as listed below:
2.8.1. Minimum Tower Step -back: 2.5m
2.8.2. Maximum Street wall step -back exemption: 25% of street wall length

Planning Letter, Rationale and Project Information
4. Description of Masterplan
LYDON LYNCH
A R C H I T E C T U R E
The development at Fundy Quay envisions a waterfront site brought to life with high quality pedestrian
experiences. The development's five buildings engage with the public realm on all edges, creating
opportunities for walking, sitting, plantings, and restaurant patios. Above the ground floor, the
development will house a mix of commercial and residential uses, bringing a density of life to centre of
Saint John. Using the opportunity to bring a critical mass of people to the site, The Fundy Quay Master
Plan imagines a place of live, work, and play, bringing uptown down to the new public waterfront.
Pedestrian Realm:
The ground floor of all buildings will house largely commercial retail and restaurants, bringing activity to
the entire site, from the southeastern corner where cruise ship passengers may be arriving, to the
northwestern corner where the public can enjoy the best views of the harbour from the public lawn.
At Water Street an elevated sidewalk is bordered with street trees and plantings while creating an
opportunity for angled public street parking below. The raised condition and its landscaped border
shelter the pedestrian zone from the adjacent traffic and parking, and future -proofs the development by
lifting the new sidewalk and its associated commercial spaces above the projected high-water level for
the year 2100. At the northern and southern ends of the development, the level of Water Street comes
up to meet the raised sidewalk, creating a seamless and accessible connection to the refreshed Market
Slip Plaza to the North, and Harbour Passage and the cruise ship terminal to the South. The buildings
will be set back from the three property lines facing Harbour Passage, creating opportunities for
restaurant patios and retail break-out areas with top-notch views out on the Harbour.
Scale and Surrounding Neighbourhoods:
The Northeastern and Southeastern buildings along Water Street propose five storey podia, creating a
streetwall that matches the height and general character of the historic district East of Water
Street. Reflecting the scale and textures of the historic buildings across the street, the scale of the
podiums are broken down horizontally and vertically. The commercial ground floors are differentiated
from the levels above, while horizontally through the use of varying cladding materials, window patterns
and commercial expressions, the podium of each tower is broken down into more 'human -scaled'
portions, to be more in the likeness of the existing buildings to the East.
The tower floorplates are kept small, maximizing daylight at grade, and their scale is further reduced by
breaking down the mass through cladding strategies and balcony placements. A grid is formed on each
elevation of the tower, creating an organizing scheme of rooms and balconies while also forming the
framework of a solar strategy that shelters the floor -to -ceiling windows from excessive summer -time
solar gains while reducing the overall window to wall ratio to support a more sustainable, thermally
efficient envelope design. To subtly create a building 'top', this'gridwork' is broken down, and stretched
to three storeys from the typical two.

Planning Letter, Rationale and Project Information
Massing and Shading Impacts:
LYDON LYNCH
A R C H I T E C T U R E
The massing of the buildings on the site terraces down from NE to SW. At the Northeast corner, the
tallest building, comparable in height to City Hall and Brunswick House, adds to the skyline of Saint
John's Uptown core. Moving across the site, the NW and SE buildings step down, terracing to the lowest
building on the SW corner, maintaining views from further into the site, and allowing daylight to
penetrate into the centre court, where some outdoor public parking is proposed to ease public access to
the waterfront and new Harbour Passage fronting shops and restaurants.
The NW corner of the Northwestern podium is clipped, creating a visual connection between Market
Slip and the proposed public building on the western edge of thesite, while maximizing evening sun
penetrating towards the patios at Market Square. The three towers are each offset to the eastern edge
of their podiums, minimizing shading on the Market Slip Plaza to the North while keeping the height
close to Uptown. In the Southwest corner, the lowest building takes advantage of the splaying views to
the harbour, while the Northwestern point of the site is maintained for public access. This amenity to
the city will house gardens, green spaces, seating, and a future cultural / community building with
panoramic views.
Parking:
Above -ground parkades are held to the middle of the site, wrapped by residential suites or commercial
offices, ensuring all external faces of the development are animated, with eyes on the street to promote
a safe, neighborhood streetscape. This design strategy allows the development to provide residents with
parking without facing the public realm with above -ground parkades, or digging below the critical flood
plain levels with un-safe below -ground parking. Where exposed, the parkade facades have been
seamlessly integrated with the rest of the building and will be clad with high quality materials, to ensure
the quality of the development is carried through to these elements.
AmPnifiPc-
Atop the podium rooftops, each building will provide its residents with high quality indoor and outdoor
amenity spaces. A portion of the roofs will be green roofs in order to provide residents with green
space, leisure activities, and to reduce the "heat island effect" of this development and contribute to a
more sustainable development.
Conclusion:
The proposed Fundy Quay development will connect Uptown Saint John to the Waterfront and provide
the missing link between the new Market Slip, Harbour Passage and Cruise Ship terminal to the South.
The development aims to bring diverse life and uses to this incredible waterfront site through a design
that compliments existing surroundings and adds to the public realm. The proposed buildings will
provide new housing, retail and community spaces that further enhance the vibrancy of the downtown
waterfront.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended Common Council adopt the following resolution:
1. That the Public Hearing to consider the passing of an amendment to the
Street Closing By-law to Close a 128 square metre portion of a public street
known as Jack Street, as shown on a Plan of Survey titled, "Plan of Survey
Showing portion of Jack Street, City of Saint John, Saint John County, New
Brunswick" and attached to M&C No. 2021-321, be set for Monday,
January 10, 2022 at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chamber;
2. That Common Council authorize the publishing of a notice of its intention
to consider the passing of such amendment, identified above;
3. In the event that Common Council gives Third Reading to the above noted
By -Law Amendment, that the City sell the property to 684401 N.B. Ltd. for
a selling price of $4,224.00, and that the purchaser:
a. Prepare at its sole cost any plan of survey required to initiate the
process for the stop -up and closure of a portion of Jack Street; and
b. Pay all costs related to the conveyance of the property.
4. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the documents
necessary to effect the transaction.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A numbered company, being 684401 N.B. Ltd. (the "Owner"), owns a property at
civic #45 Jack Street (see attached map). The Owner is currently nearing the
completion of renovations to its 24-unit apartment building. Its plans include
erecting balconies, facing Jack Street. Upon review, it was determined that a
portion of the Owner's building, including the planned balconies, encroach into an
undeveloped portion of the Jack Street right-of-way. The Owner is requesting to
KIM
-2-
purchase a minimal amount of land to mitigate the encroachments. The purpose
of this report is to seek authority to initiate the process to stop -up and close a
small portion of Jack Street right-of-way (see attached plan of survey) for the
purpose of conveying it to the Owner and mitigating the encroachment.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
N/A
REPORT
The Owner of the subject property has been renovating its 24-unit building at civic
#45 Jack Street, which is near completion. As part of its renovation to the building,
new balconies were intended to be constructed, facing Jack Street. The balconies
are considered an important part of the design, to create appealing units in a
livable neighbourhood.
A further inspection of this proposal revealed that not only would the balconies
encroach onto the Jack Street right-of-way, but also a small portion of the existing
building encroaches as well. In order to resolve this matter, the Owner is
requesting the City to stop -up and close a 128 square metre (1,378 square foot)
portion of Jack Street right-of-way to address the existing and proposed
encroachments.
The portion of land that is required by the Owner to address this issue is contained
within a portion of the street right-of-way that is undeveloped and exists currently
as a significant grassed area. The street dead -ends with no formal cul-de-sac
constructed and has served this area as such for a number of years. Given the
properties having frontage off Jack Street are fully developed and have remained
so for a number of years, it is unlikely there would be a need or justification to
develop a formal cul-de-sac, as presently configured. Public Works and
Transportation are supportive of the request to close and convey the minimal
amount of undeveloped right-of-way, as requested by the Owner to facilitate its
development.
Jack Street and surrounding land is not located in a high profile area of the City.
Staff reviewed the approximate value of land in the area, as if it were vacant and
considered what the value should be if it were to be developed for multi -unit
residential. This resulted in a land value of approximately $33.00 per square
metre. On that basis, a purchase price of $4,224.00 for the 128 square metres was
offered by staff (subject to Council's approval) and accepted by the Owner to
facilitate the completion of its project.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
The proposed Stop -Up and Closure of a portion of Jack Street to accommodate
this development aligns with Council's Grow and Belong priorities.
K1.1.13
-3-
SERVICEAND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
All costs related to the process to consider a stop -up and closure for a portion of
a street right-of-way, including all survey costs and fees associated with the
subsequent land transaction, are the responsibility of the Owner. The City will
receive $4,224.00 for the sale of 128 square metres of land, which portion of land
will become subject to property taxes. No services will be impacted by this land
transaction.
INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS
Growth and Community Services (Planning), Public Works and Transportation and
Infrastructure Development have provided input into the preparation of this
report and agree with the staff recommendation.

a selling price of $4,224.00, and that the purchaser:

4. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the documents

REPORT
The Owner of the subject property has been renovating its multi -unit building at
civic #45 Jack Street. As part of the renovation to the building, new balconies were
intended to be constructed, facing Jack Street. A review of this project revealed
that not only would the balconies encroach into Jack Street right-of-way, but a
small portion of the existing building encroaches as well.
Further to November 291" meeting Council, the surveyor has measured the
existing decks as they were during a survey on December 2, 2021 and found them
to extend beyond the originally intended 6' from the building face. To maintain
the one -foot offset from the existing deck to the new street line, the area of the
stop -up and closure would need to be 137 square metres instead of the original
128 square metres.
The purpose of this report is to recommend that Council amend its November 291n
2021 resolution to reflect the larger area for street closure and related increased
sale price. Public Works and Transportation are supportive of the minimal
increase to the of street right-of-way stop -up and closure, as requested by the
Owner.
When applying the original land value of $33.00 per square metre, the larger
footprint of land attracts a sale price of $4,521.00 for the 137 square metres (from
$4,224 for the original 128 square meters).
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
The proposed Stop -Up and Closure of a portion of Jack Street to accommodate
this development aligns with Council's Grow and Belong priorities.
SERVICEAND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
All costs related to the process to consider a stop -up and closure for a portion of
a street right-of-way, including all survey costs and fees associated with the
subsequent land transaction, are the responsibility of the Owner. The City will
271
-3-
receive $4,521.00 for the sale of 137 square metres of land. No services will be
impacted by this land transaction.
INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS
Public Works and Transportation and Infrastructure Development have provided
input into the preparation of this report and agree with staff's recommendation.

Subject:
Background: National Urban Parks
As part of the mandate letter of the ministry of Environment and Climate Change, the federal government
intends to establish at least one new National Urban Park in every province and territory — with a target of 15
new urban parks by 2030.
As part of Council's "Belong" priority maintaining regional and district parks will support our vibrancy. Saint
John is a perfect candidate to take advantage of a program like this. With over 2,200 acres of unspoiled park
land Rockwood Park would be the ideal candidate to stand up as a national urban park.
Identification as a National Urban Park would give Rockwood Park and Saint John the opportunity for significant
investment from the Federal Government in our park's infrastructure.
Motion:
RESOLVED that Common Council authorize staff to take the necessary steps to ensure that Rockwood Park
becomes poised to be identified as one of Canada's new National Urban Parks.

Subject: Growth Plan to Increase Student Population
Background:
The City of Saint John has not grown in population compared to other cities over the past decades. We also
have not grown in terms of post secondary education and the level of education our current population has.
Our poverty numbers are higher then most cities and our aging population is a concern. Increasing the number
of post secondary students and the numbers of post secondary opportunities will increase our population and
our tax base.
Motion:
That Common Council directs the Growth Committee and Envision Saint John to build a Growth Plan to
dramatically increase our post secondary student population which will raise Saint John's education levels
and lower our poverty levels.
Respectfully Submitted,
(Received via email)

To- The Mayor of Saint John, Common Council members
From- The New Brunswick Coalition of Persons with Disabilities
I am writing the Council today on behalf of the New Brunswick Coalition of Persons with
Disabilities (NBCPD) regarding a few concerns; namely transit services, various recent
developments, and access to pedestrian infrastructures within the city. These things are very
concerning to our members, the 26.7% of New Brunswickers with 1 or more disabilities. It is
important to note, first, that we — persons with disabilities - are the province's single largest
demographic. Add in the senior population, and we are much closer to 50% of the population.
Our group, along with another organization representing persons with disabilities, recently
presented to the council concerning issues around the lack of accessibility in Saint John. The
primary focus was on the lack of accessible transit. Shortly thereafter, we were very
disappointed to learn of the lack of consideration towards citizens with disabilities surrounding
the bus stop changes at the Lancaster Mall. The transit manager, as well Councillor at large
Brent Harris (transit rep), have done as much as possible to place all culpability on the mall's
property owners, Strathellen, however it is still a SJ Transit stop and thus the city holds
culpability. The city has admitted they provided specs for the new build, which means they were
fully aware that a change was coming. It worries us that there was no consultation with
stakeholders. Committing to meeting with stakeholders after the fact does not alleviate
responsibility for the damage done. The stop is way too far from the mall; there is still no safe
pathway to the stop; there is no lighting, and so it is extremely dark at the stop from 4 pm
onwards. This renders it terrifying to many women and persons with disabilities after darkness
falls. This change has taken away the ability of so many to be independent- be it for work, for
shopping, or simply feeling safe and appreciated in their city. The lack of real response has
been very disappointing at best. A dangerous precedent has been set. How long before the
same happens at McAllister Place? These businesses need the stops in their parking lots for
staff and shoppers as much as the city needs the free land for the stop. It is time to take a
leading role on this matter.
Last week, I virtually attended a session on climate change and cities in NB. Brent
Harris was in attendance. He referred to one of my questions in terms of stakeholders
and admitted in this session that the city absolutely did drop the ball in terms of what
happened with the bus stop at the Lancaster Mall. He also made comments on the
importance of consulting with stakeholders and city "experts" - those stakeholders who
know the situation best. We would agree, however, we still do not see an accessibility
EcZi16-1
committee listed on your Boards and Commissions page. This would be a good first
step.
Our next area of concern is around housing and new builds being announced in the St
John area. Not one of these announcements refers to accessible units, which they must
have by law. In 2015, Canada passed the Accessible Building Code Act, and this was
adopted by NB in 2020/21. All new builds MUST adhere to this. Contrary to what we
have been told during inquiries to the Building Permits and Inspections department in
Saint John, your municipal bylaw does not override the New Brunswick provincial code.
The fact that we are now being told we must complete a RTI request each time we ask
questions such as "How many units will be accessible as defined by the NB Barrier -Free
building Code Act? How many regular parking spots will be provided, and how many of
these will be accessible spots designated for PWD? How many will be the extra -large
spots designated for wheelchair ramps?" makes us even more suspicious that the code
is not being followed and/or adhered too. This is a violation of Charter Rights, not to
mention, the law. We are requesting that the Coalition be sent the number of
accessible units, and proof that they are meeting all regulations of the Barrier -
Free Act, for all new builds announced, proposed, and even started since
February of this year until now. We are asking that these numbers start being sent
as soon as possible, and that we have them for all new builds of 4 or more units by the
end of January. We appreciate and thank you in advance for your prompt response to
this request.
The final piece that we will address in this letter is the most recent decision over the
Pedway between TD Station and the Shops of City Hall/ Market Square. Closing this
pedway for 90 minutes before and after events was a poorly thought through
reactionary move, and much like the bus stop at Lancaster Mall, a very dangerous one.
We are not talking about if something dangerous happens due to this decision, but
when something dangerous happens. Because able-bodied people can easily transition
to the outdoors sidewalk; those with disabilities, seniors, young parents with toddlers or
children in strollers - who in good faith purchased tickets knowing access to the station
was safe - are now being forced to make unsafe choices. There are so many better
alternatives. Security guards could be hired and stationed at each end of the pedway to
remind individuals that there is no stopping and loitering allowed. Window could be
covered at the Aquatic center windows, if this is the area people congregate without
proper masking. That would discourage the actions of the few who do this. Simply
closing the pedway as a reactionary move may seem like a quick fix but shows lack of
consultation with stakeholders. It is important for Council to realize that because they
presently have no members who have mobility or visual disabilities, it is vital that they
consult with members of these communities prior to making these types of decisions.
These changes do not affect you the way it affects us. Decisions need to be made to
cause behaviour changes in those blatantly breaking the rules, instead of a form of
punishment to all.
We look forward to your responses on these matters- and we will continue to follow up
with other areas of concern.

Thank you.

In September of this year, I contacted you regarding the Bargain Hunter flyer bundle that is
being deposited on driveways across the city. At that time the issue was being brought
before council (September 20th meeting) and I believe the issue was left for further
attention. I could be wrong on that, but I am thinking that I was given the name of Jonathan
Taylor, a Director of Legislative Services. I didn't take notes at the time so my recollection is
a bit sketchy.
I am currently writing to report that I have gotten through to the company that distributes
these advertising bundles and asked them to stop delivery to my address. They seemed very
polite and compliant, however the flyers didn't stop. I have asked them twice more and have
gotten the same assurance that the deliveries would cease and yet they don't.
Is this something anyone would be interested in knowing? In an earlier message I
mentioned that the CBC reported that the City of Moncton now issues fines ranging from
$140 to $560 for similar behaviour. For now, I collect the items, trash the plastic bags and
recycle the newspaper.

Good afternoon,
I called the city to ask a question about the by laws of companies like Bargain Hunter and
how they are allowed to litter our beautiful streets of Saint John with commercial Flyers to
citizens who didn't request them!
I was told there was no by laws preventing this from occurring. We were doing very well for
a while but all of a sudden the Flyers are back worse than ever. Most people like myself get
their Flyers via email.
I called them last week to cancel but that didn't happen! I live in a little cul de sac and there
are Flyers and pink plastic bags all over the place.
Thanks to the neighbors for cleaning them up this week!
They will end up in the woods, into people's snowblowers etc.
My question is after all these years why isn't there bylaws preventing these companies from
throwing Flyers in people's driveways when they didn't request them?
Please pass a bylaw preventing this eyesore!
Thanks for your time,
Wayne Chiasson

SUBJECT: 2019-080601P Security Information and Event Management (STEM)
Agreement
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT FOR OPEN
SESSION OF COUNCIL
A Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution provides an
organization with insight into and a track record of the activities within their
information technology (IT) environment. Combined with 24 x 7 x 365 Security
Operations Centre (SOC) monitoring, cybersecurity is enhanced to provide alerting
and containment activities as required.
The initial contract with Bulletproof Solutions ULC (Bulletproof) for SIEM and SOC
services was based on events per second (EPS). With the restoration of the City's
information technology systems resulting from the cyberattack that occurred on
November 13, 2020, the platform for the SIEM has been updated to work with the
Microsoft Office 365 environment. This system enhances cybersecurity with the
ability to monitor at the user level. This is particularly important as most
cyberattacks result from end user activities globally.
The original contract pricing with Bulletproof for SIEM and SOC services was
$9,950 plus HST per month or $119,400 plus HST annually. The proposed cost for
enhanced SIEM and SOC services are $12,097.03 plus HST per month. This cost is
based on quantity of infrastructure and endpoints, meaning the cost is variable.
Projected annual costs based on current infrastructure and endpoints is
$145,164.36 plus HST for an annual minimum increase of $25,764 plus HST
annually. Adjustments within the approved 2022 operating budget will be made
to accommodate for the SIEM and SOC enhancements.
COUNCIL RESOLUTION
That the City approve an amendment to the 2019-080601P Security Information
and Event Management (SIEM) Agreement in the form as approved previously on
November 18, 2019 with Bulletproof Solutions ULC for the purpose of providing
SIEM services to the City, which shall be effective as of January 1, 2022 and end
on November 18, 2022 as discussed in Committee of the Whole at the meeting
held January 10, 2022, and that the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute any
document ancillary thereto or necessary to affect the transaction.
