Have made suggestions to the developer regarding traffic, to which the developer
was amenable
being made to PAC limiting building height to four stories, requirement for parking
to be no less than 1.25 spots per unit, and traffic study to be completed
PAC did not address parking concern
Association had open and positive communication with developers
Concerns with general traffic situation in the area
Read a letter from resident David Teed, who incorporated the Association and is
in favour of project
Asked Council to consider the recommendation from PAC for a traffic study;
concerns with traffic, particularly pedestrian traffic
Development would provide a housing product that Council has stated they are
looking for and for which there is a need in the economy
Fundy Heights is a very desirable neighbourhood
Lot could accommodate a much higher density
There are complications when you add unnecessary conditions and restrictions to
development
Serviced lot in a stable neighbourhood
Great project that is on Saint John Transit route with a daycare on its doorstep
Connects to public rights-of-way on all sides and would encourage Council to make
that mandatory in all developments
If you want more traffic, invite more parking; if parking is not there, people will
consider other modes of transportation, especially with pedestrian pathways
available
Developer has been doing community consultation for years, since property was
purchased in 2018
Developer would like to see the daycare remain as long as the operator wishes to
stay there; if they ever leave, would likely convert to residential

RECOMMENDATION
That the City enter into the Scholarship Agreement with the New Brunswick Medical Foundation
in the form as generally attached to this M&C 2025-186
of Saint John Medical Education Schola
be authorized to execute the said Scholarship Agreement and any other documents ancillary
thereto.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The New Brunswick Medical Education Foundation(NBMEF)would establish a scholarship to
support two medical students every year with a $5,000 scholarship each.
The City of Saint John and the New Brunswick Medical Education Foundation would enter into a
partnership via an agreement. The NBMEFwill select scholarship recipients in accordance with
its rules and regulations.
The proposed agreement is in compliance with the City of Saint John's Grants Policy. The NBMEF
will submit an annual report informing the City about the allocation of scholarships.
The NBMEFwill keep a close track of recipientsand will ask them to sign a legally binding
agreement to ensure they commit to practice in the City after graduation for at least one year.
The NBMEFalso commits to connecting the beneficiaries with residency programs and regional
health authorities to help foster future relationships and create ties within the region.
The Common Council resolution directed the CAO to establish this partnership in 2025, however,
given the steps required for approval and the timelines of the New Brunswick Medical Education
Foundation for their application and allocation process, it is recommended to begin this
partnership in 2026 up to 2029. These annual donations shallbe contingent upon approval
through the s annual budget process.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
Common Council Resolution: January 27th, 2025-RESOLVED that Council direct the CAO to
establish a Medical Education Scholarship in partnership with the New Brunswick Medical
Educational Foundation Inc. starting in 2025.
REPORT
The purpose of the City of Saint John Medical EducationScholarship is to support the studies of
two medical students, residents of Saint John, New Brunswick. The recipients must agree to a
one-year return of service in the City of Saint John,for each year of support they receive up to
four years for the medical doctor program at an accredited Canadian university in New
Brunswick. The amountgranted perscholarship will be $5,000.00 each.
These scholarships will beprovided through an annual grantof $10,400 by the City of Saint John
to the New Brunswick Medical Education Foundation Inc. starting in 2026for a four-year term.
By establishing this scholarship, the City of Saint John will:
Attract the best medical students to study in Saint John, New Brunswick.
Preserve students as practicing physicians in Saint John, after graduation, especially those
who are granted the scholarship continuously.
Engage New Brunswickers studying outside the province to return to practice medicine in
Saint John, New Brunswick.
Ensure medical students can qualify for support to complete their studies while
committing to give back to the City.
The NBMEF-charitable Registration # 810513523RR0001-founded in 2010,is a charity dedicated
to attracting and retaining health care providers byextendingreturn-to-service scholarships to
New Brunswick medical students, ensuring a pipeline of future physicians isready to practice in
the province followinggraduation.
In the event of a recipient not returning to the City, repaymentswould not begin for years
following the completion of the scholarship payment. The studentsmust complete four years of
medical school and a minimum of two years of residency following graduation before they can
be eligible to begin practicing within Saint John, with additional time to secure employment,
relocate and begin working. The NBMEF is accountable for tracking recipients throughout this
time, and if/when they learn a recipient has established a career outside of their binding
return-to-service agreement, the case is referred to theirAlumni Committee for further action
and repayment if warranted.
Repayments are typically obtained through payment plans that span years. These funds go back
to the NBMEF and not tothe donors, given that the funds were a donation to the charity and it
is beyond thetime of the initial agreement. The model allows for a financial incentive should
students settle in the City, and a financial penalty should they break their commitment to Saint
John. It is not a guaranteed solution, but the data shows the NBMEF has one of the most
effective physician recruitment to
date.
The New Brunswick Medical Education Foundation will submit a report annually to inform the
City who the beneficiaries of the scholarships were, and when it is expected for them to
graduate and commence their practice following their graduation. The transfer of funds from
the charity to the students will be conditional on receipt of a signed return-to-service
agreement.
Staff has reviewed this situation and recommends proceeding with the agreement even with
the risk that it represents, as it is minimal. This donation is also considered a long-term

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT

SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
The total amount of the agreementis $41,600 for 4 years (2026 2029). It will be disbursed
annually at an amount of $10,400, which corresponds to two (2) $5,000 scholarships and a 4%
($400) administrative fee. The allocation of this funding is contingent on the annual budget
approvalprocess by the City.
These funds should come from the Unconditional Grants budget, which needs to be adjusted to
increase the amount given to this scholarship.

retired nurse hitchhiked through towns and rural outposts, joyfully advocating for the oneness
of humankind. Accompanied everywhere she went with her French poodle Mindy and her
favourite book about the British Royal Family, her warm smile lip \[sic\]

inspiration that still lingers in the memories of those she met.

REPORT
stnd
On July 7, 2025, Common Council gave 1and 2reading to a Municipal Plan Amendment to
redesignate 1384Latimore Lake Road from Rural Resource Areato Stable Areaand Rural
stnd
Residential. In addition, 1and 2reading were also given toRezone the property from the Rural
(RU) zone to the Mini-Home ParkResidential (RP) zone. The approvalswould facilitate the
development of aprivatelyservicedmini-home park outside the Primary Development Area
(PDA).
Staff are recommending the incorporation of two Section 59 Conditions which will ensure the
protected potable water watershed.These conditions have been proposed
by Saint John Water and are supported by infrastructure staff within Growth and Community
Services. The following language is proposed:
No motor vehicles or construction equipment shall be permitted to park within the
Latimore Lake protected potable water watershed on this property, being the area of
the property within 240 metres (800 feet) of the center line of Latimore Lake Road.
Canada
(MUTCDC) by the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) shall be installed and
maintained along the area of the driveway within the Latimore Lake protected potable
water watershed at a spacing of no greater than 30 metres.
The Section 59 Conditions will ensure that the front portion of the property, which is proposed to
contain site access, will not permit the parking or placement of vehicles and equipment which
could potentially contaminate the water and soil.
As part of the discussions that occurred regarding the application, Common Council identified
fourresidential streetsthat have been granted approval and may be examples of rural
residential style development located outside the PDA.Staff have provided the following
information toprovide clarification on the history and approvals of those developments.
Dolly Drive forms part of the Lakewood Heights Subdivisionwhich began its development in the
1950s. The subdivision is located withinthe PDA, is zoned Low-Rise Residential (RL)and is
serviced by City Water and Sanitary Services.
Mallory Street and Meredith Street are located within the Bally Desmond Subdivision, which
receivedapproval in 2007for the entiredevelopment concept. The subdivision is being
developed in phases. Jadvo Road, locatedinthe adjacent Hillcrest Heights Subdivision,
receivedapproval prior to 2007. Both subdivisions are located outside the PDA and are privately
serviced.
Both the Bally Desmond Subdivisionand the Hillcrest Heights Subdivision received their
approvalsprior to the 2012 adoption of the current Municipal Plan (Plan SJ). When Plan SJ was
developed, rural areas with existing and approved residential subdivisions were designated
Rural Residential. Through the Rural Residentialdesignation and associated policies, Plan SJ
acknowledgesexisting subdivision approvalsand enablesthecompletion of these subdivisions.
With the2014adoption of Zone SJ, land within these subdivisions waszoned Rural Residential
(RR).
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
The proposed development aligns with the Council Priority of Grow by Grow our

RECOMMENDATION
That Common Council complete the third readings of the proposed amendments to the Municipal
Plan and Zoning By-Law as presented in the attached Council Resolution Sheet.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
An application to amend the Municipal Plan and to Rezonethe property located at 500 Pelton
Roadis being considered for third reading. The application would facilitate the development of a
low-density residential development on a private road. During discussions that occurred prior to
stnd
1and 2reading, Common Councilrequested that staff prepare a Section 59 condition for a
Sunset Clause.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
July 7, 2025 Regular Meeting of Common Council:
Common Council gave 1st and 2nd reading to By-Law Number C.P. 106-41 a Law to
Amend the Municipal Plan of the City of Saint John.
Common Council gave 1st and 2nd reading to By-Law Number C.P. 111-204 a Law to
Amend the Zoning By-Law of the City of Saint John.
REPORT
stnd
On July 7, 2025, Common Council gave 1and 2reading to a Municipal Plan Amendment to
st
redesignate 500 Pelton Road from Major Community Facility to Stable Residential. In addition, 1
nd
and 2reading were also given toRezone the property from the Major Community Facility (CFM)
zone to the Low-Rise Residential (RL) zone.
The rezoning would facilitate the development of a low-density, serviced, residential development
including 24 townhouses over 6 lots and 16 semi-detached dwellings on 8 lots, alongon a private
road accessed from Sandy Point Road.
As part of the application package, staff were proposing the amendment to the existing Section
59 and 131 conditions, which were based on the previous development concept. Included in the
amendment, is the removal of the existing 2021 Sunset Clause which required the development
to be completed within 5 years of thedate of rezoning.
Common Council requested that staff prepare language for a Section 59 condition that would
impose a new Sunset Clause on the project.Staff have prepared the following language for
consideration:
That within 5 years of the date the rezoning came into effect, a building permit
shall
have been issued for onedwelling unit. If the building permit has not been
issued,
Council may take steps to cancel the resolution and repeal the rezoning
pursuant to
Section 59(5) and 59(6) of the NewBrunswick Community Planning Act.
The Section 59 Condition would require the developer to begin work within five years of the
property being rezoned. The proposed Sunset Clause adds a specific requirement: a building
permit for at least one dwelling unitmust be issued within that same five-year period. A building
permit can only be issued once City water and sanitary services have been extended to the site,
and the private road has been constructed to provide physical access to the development area.
ThisSunset Clause ensures that on-site work is underway, while allowing flexibility for the full
build-out of the development, which may be influenced by external factors that affect the pace of
construction.
If the developer does not meet the requirements of the Sunset Clause, Common Council does
have the ability to cancel the resolution, which would revert the zoning of the property. In this
situation, the property would revert to the existing Major Community Facility (CFM) zone,which
would permit a range of more intenseland usesthan what could be developed under the
proposed Low-Density Residential (RL) zone.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
The proposed development aligns with the Council Priority of Grow by Grow our
and toAchieve 3% annual
property tax base growth and ongoing work to increase the target.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
The processing of Municipal Plan Amendment and Rezoning Applications are part of the
standard operations of the Growth and Community Services Department. They include the
-Law.

REPORT
Zoning Reform and Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF) Initiatives
On January 13, 2025, Common Council adopted By-Law Number C.P. 111-183,
amending the Zoning By-Law to implement the Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF) Action
Plan. A key change was increasing the permitted building height in the Mid-Rise Zone
from four to six storeys to support greater residential density.
Since then, two mid-rise rezoning applications have been submitted. One was denied due
to its proposed six-storey height; the other is under review with a proposed condition
limiting the height to four storeys. While responding to local concerns, such restrictions
-rise development and achieve
HAF targets.
The current proposal complies with all Mid-Rise Zone standards and includes additional
measuressuch as increased setbacks and expanded amenity spaceto improve
compatibility with adjacent low-rise areas.
In this context, imposing a four-storey height limit appears inconsistent with the intent of
recent zoning reforms and may hinderprogress toward HAF goals.
Streamlining Application Processes
Staff havepreviously been directed to reduce red tape in the application process. One
approach to achieving this goal is through the removal of Section 59 conditions on
properties across the City. While the comprehensive removal of existing conditions has
not yet begun, the first step involves minimizing the creation of new conditions moving
forward.
The adoption of recent zoning reform amendments is intended to establish built-in
standardsand requirements within the Zoning By-law, helping to ensure that development
is limited to appropriate uses and scales for each site.
The developer has confirmed the project will not exceed four storeys. During the Public
Hearing, the applicant emphasized efforts to ensure the development fits the
neighborhood context. Although time constraints prevented discussion of the proposed
height condition, the applicant later confirmed that there are no plans to increase the
height and committed to ongoing community consultation if changes arise.
Jody Kliffer of Envision, who also spoke at the Public Hearing, cautioned that overly
to adapt to evolving circumstances, especiallyregardingfinancial feasibility.
Given this, staff recommend Council reconsider whether the proposed condition by PAC
zoning reform intent to support density in key locations well served by infrastructure.
Street Naming Recommendation
Typically, street names are adopted by Council following a brief report from the GIS
division. In this case, however, a name has been proposed prior to the finalization of the
development application. This is solelyunder the jurisdiction of Council and does not
require PAC review.
As such, staff are recommending an amendment to the Official Street Names list to
include Tranquility Place as the designated name for the private street internallyserving
this development. The proposed name is required for addressing purposes and complies
with all current naming guidelines.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
Achieve 3% annual property tax base growth and on-going work to increase the
target;
The approach also aligns with the Municipal Plan through initiatives that target existing
Neighborhoods for opportunities to add density and expanding housing options.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
The holding of the public hearing and receiving advice and a recommendation from the
Planning Advisory Committee satisfies the legislative and service requirements as
mandated by the Community Planning Act.
The name of the private street meets all NB911 guidelines.

Donna Reardon
Mayor of Saint John, NB
Dear Mayor Reardon,
I am writing, on behalf of the Usher Syndrome Coalition, to ask the city of Saint John,
New Brunswick to proclaim the third Saturday in September, September 20, Usher
Syndrome Awareness Day.
Usher syndrome (USH) is a rare inherited condition - passing from parents to children -
that impacts three major senses in the body: vision, hearing and balance. It is the most
common genetic cause of combined deafness and blindness.
In 2015 the Usher Syndrome Coalition, the only organization in the world working to find
and support every individual and family living with USH, declared the third Saturday in
autumnal equinox in the northern hemisphere, marking the start of days that contain
more darkness than light - a powerful metaphor for the threat of Usher syndrome.
There is currently no cure for Usher syndrome, but there is a growing USH community.
Building a community and awareness leads to treatment and a cure. You can help raise
awareness with this proclamation. I have attached a sample of the wording for a
proclamation regarding Usher syndrome Awareness Day.
My grandsons, Ethan and Gavin Morrobel, have both been diagnosed with Usher
syndrome. They have bravely shared their experiences in their own words, writing
articles that provide valuable insights into the challenges and triumphs of living with this
condition. I have included links to their articles below.
I am pleased to share that the CN Tower recognized Usher Syndrome Awareness Day
in 2024 by displaying the yellow and blue colours of the Usher Syndrome Coalition on
September 21, 2024 and will recognize Usher Syndrome Awareness Day again this
year on September 20, 2025.
I have attached a sample Proclamation.
Thank you for your consideration,
Sincerely,
Fran Hickmott

PROCLAMATION
Usher Syndrome Awareness Day
September 20, 2025
WHEREAS, Usher Syndrome is a relatively rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in any one of at
least 11 genes resulting in a combination of hearing loss and visual impairment, and is a leading cause of
combined deafness and blindness; and
WHEREAS, more than 400,000 people are affected by this genetic disorder worldwide, with at
least 2,400 of those in Canada; and
WHEREAS, Usher syndrome, which is incurable presently, impacts three major senses in the body:
Vision: Vision loss in Usher syndrome is caused by a progressive vision disorder known as retinitis
pigmentosa (RP). RP causes the light-sensing cells in the retina to gradually deteriorate, initially resulting
in night blindness, followed by a narrowing of the visual field, commonly known as tunnel vision.
Hearing: Children with Usher syndrome are born with or develop hearing loss. It is estimated that upward
of 10 percent of people with congenital bilateral, sensorineural hearing loss have Usher syndrome.
Balance: Balance is achieved and maintained through input from your eyes, the vestibular organs in the
inner ear and the sensory systems of the body, such as the skin, muscles and joints. Thus, people with
Usher syndrome suffer from severe balance issues due to vestibular dysfunction; and
WHEREAS, there are three clinical types: Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3, which are distinguished by the
severity and age when the signs and symptoms appear. There are at least eleven different genetic types
of Usher syndrome, as determined by the genes that are involved. One cannot determine the genetic type
by clinical testing, as DNA testing is the only reliable way of determining the true genetic type; and
WHEREAS, because of limited public awareness, those affected with Usher syndrome may suffer from
depression, anxiety, isolation, loss of independence; and
WHEREAS, the Usher syndrome community is uniting around the world to spread public awareness but
especially to be recognized annually the 3rd Saturday of September:
NOW, THEREFORE, I, as the Honourable Donna Reardon, Mayor of Saint John, NB do hereby
designate September 20 , 2025 as Usher Syndrome Awareness Day in the city of Saint John, New
Brunswick.

Please provide your comments about the development
I realize that this is not the proper place for this comment but couldn't find an e-mail to
send this to.
For the first 25 years of my life and many more years for parents, we lived in the South
End of Saint John and then in the Rockwood Court area. My husband is from the North
End.
For many, many years we have been so disappointed in the decline of Saint John that
we gave up visiting the City. A City Market that wasn't open when adults were available,
2 large malls that were, and still are all but empty, a crater at the head of King Street
across from a beautiful King Square, commercial buildings that aren't looked after and
look dirty and run down (and still do, think Union St.) and a harbour front that always
looked half finished. The few times we drove through to see if it was any better we were
saddened by what has happened to our once beautiful City with it's amazing
architecture.
We have visited area 56 in the last few years but it seemed to be all there was. We
couldn't understand why PEI and NS has such developed waterfronts and ours was,
well, not so much.
At our daughter's insistence we again visited the waterfront not expecting much but I
must say how surprised to see the wonderful work that has been done on the trail. It is
absolutely amazing and because we were once so proud of our vibrant City, we are in
awe. Everyone involved in this project deserves a round of applause and
congratulations on a job well done. Now, even a week later, I am so happy to see the
changes I get teary eyed. Our "home" means so much to us. Now, if the area gets safer
for old folks we may even decide to move back. Scary the amount of homeless and
others that approach or stare as people walk by but we also realize that this is
everywhere in cities.
MANY CUDOS to you all and thank you. We will certainly spend more time at the
waterfront. Now all we need is a large dept. store of some kind to draw people in.

About your Submission
Topic of submission
Lack of sidewalk on Broadview Avenue
Purpose for submission (what is the ask of council):
Construct sidewalk on south side of Broadview from Barrack Green west to Charlotte.
Executive summary
With recent construction on Broad Street rerouting both vehicle and pedestrian traffic to
Broadview, between Charlotte and Wentworth, there is a clear need for a sidewalk.
It was unusual to see an uptown street get fully rebuilt without one. This does not seem
to align with the Move or Green Council Priorities.
While Broadview was recently rebuilt, no sidewalk was added between Charlotte and
Sydney. From Sydney to Carmarthen, asidewalk was fully built on the north side of the
street. On the south side, it stops just west of Barrack Green in the middle of the block.
Council should consider extending the southern sidewalk from where it currently stops
halfway between Carmarthen and Sydney, down the south side of Broadview, to
Charlotte.
With an a new 40-unit apartment building underway, several good-sized employers in
the area, and more extensive development proposed, adding about 175m of sidewalk
would be beneficial.
Thanks,
Adam

SUBJECT: Update on 2025 PMHP Allocation
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT FOR OPEN SESSION
OF COUNCIL
In 2025there is approximately $1.8M in Provincial-Municipal Highways Partnership(PMHP)
funding allocated towards the design of a roundabout at Loch Lomond/Airport Arterial and
the construction of a roundabout at Sandy Point Road/Foster Thurston. Because the tender
amount for the construction came in lower than anticipated, and the balance of eligiblevs.
non-eligible expense shifted it is unlikely that the City will be able to leverage the full funding
for these project. The purpose of this report is toseek approvalto requestthat any surplus
funds be reallocated towards the design of a new roundabout at Rothesay Road/Ashburn Road,
and the resurfacing of additional eligible streets.
The City is also seeking a partnership with the Department of Transportation & Infrastructure for
additional funding in 2026 to complete the construction of the roundabout at Loch
Lomond/Airport Arterial.
COUNCIL RESOLUTION
ThatCommonCouncil endorse a request to reallocate surplus PMHP funds for 2025 to support
resurfacing of additional provincial-municipal highways, and towards the detailed design of the
Rothesay Road/Ashburn Road roundabout. Furthermore, that Council direct the Mayor to send
a letter to the Minister of Transportation & Infrastructure requesting a partnership to fund the
Loch Lomond/Airport Arterial roundabout in 2026.
