matter be referred to the Nominating Committee,"
2. "RESOLVED that the appointments to committees be approved as follows: Councillor
Killen be appointed as chair, and to appoint Councillors Higgins, Mott and Snook to the
Municipal Plan Committee until the end of their terms on Council"
Therefore, should Council choose to rescind the October 20 and 27, 2008 resolutions
respecting Council's Municipal Plan Committee, the text in that regard would be as follows:

The Cit-
y of Saint John
SUBJECT: Presentation re- 2010 Assessment Base Impact
On Friday November 13th the Province released the assessment base data
which is used in the preparation of the 2010 budget. The data provided by
the Province for 2010 differs from that provided in previous years due to
the fact that the Province along with providing the assessment base data is
also proposing a tax rate to be adopted by the City.
The proposed tax rate is computed based on the application of an
adjustment factor. This adjustment factor is arrived at by comparing what
is called the notional assessment base to the actual assessment base. The
Province is calling this the Property Tax Accountability Mechanism.
This presentation will provide to Council an explanation of how the
proposed tax rate is calculated, how the notional assessment base is
calculated, and the impact on the 2010 budget.

SUBJECT: Acquisition of Watershed Lands
Brawley Lake
BACKGROUND:
Over the past two years staff has been working with the heirs to the Nellie Fowler
Estate to acquire its lands holdings within the City's watershed. The Nellie
Fowler Estate contains approximately 144 acres of land within the watershed
limits as well as additional lands outside of the watershed limits. The Fowler's
originally intended to sell its holdings in their entirety however as discussions
progressed it appeared the heirs would entertain an exchange of City owned lands
outside of the watershed limits in conjunction with reduced monetary
compensation than originally contemplated. The City has approximately 89 acres
of land outside of the watershed limits which the Fowler's are prepared to accept,
forming part of the agreement. The Fowlers also require an easement along a
former logging road which traverses City lands outside of the watershed to access
a portion of the lands they receive in the exchange. This right of way would run
with the land but be limited to a use of harvesting trees or recreation, not for
development purposes.
As stated, the City would receive 144 acres +/- from the Nellie Fowler Estate,
contained in two parcels. Nine (9) + / -acres are within the Provincial setback of
150 meters and are valued at $6,000 per acre while the residual 135 acres receive
a value of $750 per acre. These values are derived from appraisal work
commissioned by the City in 2005 and adjusted for inflation and market
movement. The City would in turn convey 89 +/- acres valued at $330 per acre,
contained in 4 parcels. Again this value was derived from appraisal work received
AR
Report to Common Council Page 2

on very similar lands in 2008. The net result is the City would exchange its lands
and $125,765 plus HST if applicable for the Fowler lands under the terms and
conditions contained in the attached agreement. Staff has also indicated it is
prepared to facilitate and pay for the necessary subdivision work. These parcels
are very long and as such very time consuming to delineate. Terrain has budgeted
$16,000- $17,000 for the necessary survey work. It is in the City's best interest to
single source the survey work rather than share the responsibilities so it will
control the timeliness and accuracy of the survey work required.
Staff has prepared an agreement (attached) which is executed by the heirs of the
Fowler Estate and subject to council's approval which reflects the intention of
both parties.
RECOMMENDATION:
I . That Common Council resolves to exchange lands with the Nellie Fowler
Estate under the terms and conditions in the attached agreement, and
further
2. That the City of Saint John engages Terrain Group Inc. to perform the
necessary survey work and plans required to effect the exchange, and
further
3. That the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute any
document or plan required to finalize the exchange.

with the installation of services for residential developments. On August 4, 2009
Common Council approved fiunding under the Residential Infrastructure Assistance
Program in the amount of $120,000 for a development proposed by Thornborough
Developments Inc. At Thornborough Street and Parkwood Avenue. On October 13, 2009
Common Council adopted a revised motion increasing the amount of assistance to be
provided to $216,000 based on a 36 lot subdivision.
The developer has now advised that each of these 36 lots will be fiurther subdivided to
accommodate semi- detached dwellings. Under the Residential Infrastructure Assistance
program guidelines, each of these 72 units is eligible for assistance under the program.
The total amount of assistance that can therefore be considered under the program is
$432,000.

& Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Members of Council,
SUBJECT: Beaverbrook Avenue Transmission Main Installation and Street
Reconstruction
I a 0 tl 01-1
The purpose of this report is to seek Council's endorsement for:
• Capital Program adjustments
mm
ff=��
Proceeding with the tendering process for the Beaverbrook Avenue Transmission
Main Installation and Street Reconstruction project.
BACKGROUND
The Action Plan for Safe, Clean Drinking Water includes a project under the 2009 Utility
Fund Capital Program for the design and construction of a new 400mm watermain on
Beaverbrook Avenue. This project has been approved under the Canada — New Brunswick
Infrastructure Stimulus Fund Program with equal cost sharing from the three levels of
government. All eligible costs under the program must be incurred by March 31, 2011.
At the September 14, 2009 meeting of Council (M&C 2009-297) early approval was granted
for a high priority project under the proposed 2010 General Fund Capital Program to install a
dedicated storm sewer and to reconstruct Reaverbrook Avenue between Visart Street and
Pugsley Avenue. Significant construction efficiencies will be realized by tendering the storm
sewer and street reconstruction projects in conjunction with the new watermain installation.
ANALYSIS
The budget amounts approved to date include $640,000 for street reconstruction, $220,000
for storm sewer installation and $2,195,000 for watermain installation. During detailed
design it became evident that adjustments would be required to the approved project scope
and associated budgets identified as follows with estimates included:
.. '
M & C 2009 — 393
December 2, 2009
Page 2
• Design and Reconstruction of Beaverbrook Avenue — Beaverbrook Avenue requires
reconstruction from Visart Street to Pugsley Avenue. The original budget pre-,
approved under the 2010 General Fund program is $640,000, however the current
engineer's cost projection based on the 98% design documents is $960,000 - a
difference of $320,000.
Design and Construction of a Storm Sewer on Beaverbrook Avenue — A dedicated
storm sewer is required on Beaverbrook Avenue between Visart Street and Pugsley
Avenue to separate an existing combined system and improve storm drainage in the
area. The original budget pre-approved under the 2010 General Fund program is
$220,000, however the current engineer's cost projection based on the 98% design
documents is $320,000 - a difference of $100,000.
Design and Construction of a Sanitary Sewer on Beaverbrook Avenue — A detailed
pipe assessment during the design process identified the existing sanitary sewer on
Beaverbrook Avenue as Terra Cotta pipe material. The sewer is old, in poor
condition and requires replacement prior to street reconstruction. There is currently
no budget item approved for construction of a sanitary sewer on Beaverbrook
Avenue. The current engineer's estimate based on 98% design documents for the
Sanitary Sewer is $400,000. It is recommended that a project be pre-approved under
the 2010 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund Capital Program in the amount of $400,000
to complete the sewer replacement project in conjunction with the watermain
installation and street reconstruction.
I J
An Engineer's cost projection for the Beaverbrook Avenue project has been prepared based
on the 98% design documents and it has been identified that the total project costs (design,
construction and construction management) will likely exceed the amount pre-approved
under the 2010 General Fund Capital Program by approximately $420,000. In addition, it is
proposed to have $400,000 pre-approved under the 2010 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund
Capital Program for a sanitary sewer replacement.
U01 1OWLYMMONVI
It is recommended as outlined in this report that Common Council approve:
The adjustment of the amount pre-approved under the 2010 General Fund Capital
program for the Storm Sewer Installation and Street Reconstruction projects from
$860,000 to $1,280,000.
2. The pre-approval of $400,000 under the 2010 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund Capital
Program for the renewal of the Sanitary Sewer on Beaverbrook Avenue.

ANALSYIS CONT "D:
Hydrofluosilicic Acid
Three companies chose to respond to this tender. Upon reviewing the tender
submissions it was determined that two bids were non compliant for the following
reasons:
The bid submitted by Brenntag Canada was found to have an unsolicited
alternative. The tender specification required pricing on two items, however,
Brenntag Canada chose to submit two prices for each item. This is considered
an unsolicited alternative and grounds for rejection.
The bid from Min -Chem Canada was rejected as they failed to submit a copy
of the signed addendum that was issued for this tender.
The one remaining bid from Alpha Chemical Ltd was found to be complete in every
regard and as such is included on the enclosed summary of bids.
Sodium Hypochlorite
Five bids were received for this tender and after review of the submissions, all were
found to be complete in all regards.
For clarification purposes, two options for product concentrations were requested as
a requirement of this tender; - up to 24 Tonne shipments of 15% product
concentration and /or up to 30 Tonne shipments of 12% product concentration.
Preference is given, should the cost support it, for smaller shipments of the higher
concentrated product. The higher the concentration the less of the product that is
need to accomplish the establish water quality requirements. When staff calculated the
bids on the basis of a per shipment cost for each concentration, it was determined that
the lowest bid was offered by Univar Canada Ltd. as indicated on the attached
summary.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
It is estimated, based on previous year's consumption and the unit prices bid, that the
City will spend approximately $41,000.00 to purchase Sodium Hypochlorite,
$50,000.00 to purchase Hydrofluosilicic acid and $175,000.00 for Chlorine gas.
These are planned expenditures and as such fiinds are provided in the annual
Operating Budget.

PAGE THREE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the tenders for the establishment of supply agreements for various
chemicals used to treat the City's potable water supply be awarded to the lowest bidder in
each case, as follows: Sodium Hypochlorite to Univar Canada Ltd, Hydrofluosilicic Acid to
Alpha Chemicals Ltd. And Chlorine Gas to Benntag Canada Ltd.

Dear Mayor and Council:
I am writing to you to ask that you would write the Commissioner of the Canadian
Football League to have a game played here in Saint John at our soon to be refurbished
community stadium, The Canada Games Stadium which the community built and is
refurbishing. This venue was the only place where two CFL games have been played in
Atlantic Canada [ Halifax hosted one game at a smaller facility ] and we are the only
community in New Brunswick to have hosted the CFL . Our football community is the
largest football community in our province and has a history of hosting the CFL . The
CFLs present plans are to open a franchise in Ottawa and then most likely the next one
will be in Quebec City.
We could most likely host a game in the Fall of 2011 if we acted now. The City of
Moncton has taken the lead to host a game in their community for next year, we can also
do this for the year 2011 along with perhaps hosting large concerts at another site. A lot
of pride , community well being, economic spin offs and publicity can be gained from
hosting these large events. We now have our major outdoor sports venue on track for
hosting large sporting events again, thanks to the leadership and strong support your
Worship and Council portrayed. A letter to the CFL Commissioner from you can start
the ball rolling.
Mark Cohoon is the CFL Commissioner, his address is 50 Wellington Street East, third
floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5E IC8.
Our Seawolves Footall Team had a great year, we created an opportunity for 47 local
players who would have not had this opportunity or who would have moved away.
Our community can, accomplish a lot when we pull together and think beyond ourselves.
Sincerely, Barry Ogden, SeaWolves Football Team, PO Box 6582, Saint John, NB,

those who need to supplement their daily living expenses to maintain a livable

It is a recognition that a large proportion of people classed as living in

Re: Dangerous Trip Step On Water Street
'l,"Thile sidewalk repairs are one of the needs people are talking about there is
one serious problem which has developed into a trip step at the junction of Harbour
Passage sidewalk and' the pedestrian passage way to the parking lot at Pugsly
teri,uktal.
The concrete panel of the passage way has sunken about Y2inch, which the
average pedestrian does not observe as they are busy looking out for other
pedestrians walking by on the side walk also the consistent red colour makes it difficult
• notice the drop.
As a result one may stub ones toe and inadvertently lunge into the street
directly into the flow of traffic or knock a pedestrian walking by into the street.
Why this is allowed to continue raises questions but more important raises a
problem of liability and injury.
One hopes it will be repaired before winter renders it impractical for this
year, even a temporary fine asphalt re•a,ir could be • help.
This being sent to Council as it is not clear under whose authority the
sidewalk and pedestrian way come.

Saint John 225 Description of Programs
Revised: October 2009
Description of project
24. Provide a detailed description of the special cultural activities.
Saint John: The Original CitylLa ville originale will celebrate the 2250' anniversary of the City of Saint
John, the first incorporated city in Canada, with a year -long program that will explore the flow of people
and ideas through the city's history and culture. The name — The Original City/La ville originale —
reflects Saint John's historic roots as the first incorporated city in the country, as the origin of a number of
significant movements, organizations and entities and as that spark of creativity that ignites artists and
performers to express themselves with works of great originality.
In January 2009 the Saint John Community Arts Board recommended the City of Saint John create a new
municipal board to manage this program of events. The Saint John 225 board, on behalf of the City of
Saint John, will plan and manage the 2010 Cultural Capitals of Canada program. The Saint John 225
program reflect the principles outlined in the Saint John Arts and Culture Policy, specifically:
1. Artistic Diversity: Both contemporary and traditional art forms are valued and creative risk -
taking is encouraged.
2. Cultural Diversity: The celebration and promotion of the many different ethnic and linguistic
cultures. New Brunswick is Canada's only officially bilingual province and Saint John has a
mandate to provide municipal services in both languages.
3. Accessibility and Participation: Arts and culture programs should be in such a way as to
encourage maximum interest, participation and appreciation.
4. Recognition of Achievement in Arts and Culture: Creativity, innovation and excellence
should be valued, supported and celebrated as essential elements of arts community
development.
5. Partnerships: Governments, businesses, individuals and the arts community should work
together to enhance the provision of arts and culture.
6. Public Art: Public art should be encouraged, properly maintained and promoted.
7. History and Heritage: The preservation and promotion of Saint John's unique history and
heritage, including its built heritage, is encouraged.
8. Integration: Arts and culture development must be integrated into city planning.
The program for Saint John: The Original City/La ville originale will span the entire year, with the first
public events linked to New Year's celebrations and the final Cultural Capitals of Canada - funded
initiatives planned for the Christmas season. Planning for the 225h celebrations will begin prior to 2010.
I. Management
1. Cultural Capitals of Canada Management Team
Legacy — G: Development and implementation or improvement of cultural or heritage policies
The Saint John 225 board will create three full -time staff positions who will work in consultation with the
City of Saint John's Cultural Affairs Office and Communications Office. Those positions are:
• An executive director, to manage the program and liaise with the Cultural Affairs Office to ensure
a smooth transition of Saint John 225 legacy programming at the end of 2010;
• An online communities editor to manage the online aspects of the program, including all web
content, uploads to City Stories and social media; and,
• An office coordinator to provide administrative support.
In addition, Saint John 225 will retain event coordinators on a contract basis for Celebration 225, Reunion
2010, the First Nations Festival and the Arts Gala.

II. Proerams and Events
1. Passage in Time: Art in the Public Space
Celebration — Cl: Visual arts installation
To commemorate the city's 225th anniversary, Saint John 225 will commission one signature piece to
reflect and celebrate the many people who have lived at the confluence of the St. John and Kennebecasis
Rivers and the Bay of Fundy. Saint John has a tradition of commissioning pieces of public art, but this
will be the first time in a generation the City will commission, in partnership with private sector patrons,
such a significant installation. Passage in Time is a new, celebratory, visual arts project. The piece is
tentatively planned for installation along Harbour Passage, a three- kilometre walking/biking path that
encircles Saint John's natural harbour and connects waterfront parks, recreation spaces and heritage sites.
It currently stretches from Water Street in the city's South End, around the top of the harbour to the north
side of the city. The public art installation will be located along this trail, on a site that is historically
significant.
Passage in Time will be announced in late 2009 with a call for proposals from professional New
Brunswick artists. The call will go out province -wide in order to reach a wide selection of First Nations,
francophone and culturally diverse artists. The theme of the piece is "The Meeting Place" and the call for
proposals will invite visual artists to submit proposals that are inspired and/or reflect the area's traditional
role as a place where people and cultures have gathered.
Saint John is where the river meets the sea, creating a natural harbour. The river and the bay form a
natural transportation route and this area has been a meeting place of people and cultures for centuries.
The Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) maintained a village, Ouygoudy, on the west side of the harbour, where they
would trade with other members of the Abanaki Confederacy, including the Mi'kmaq and
Passamaquoddy. It was the Wolastoqiyik who greeted Samuel de Champlain when he arrived in the
harbour in 1604. As it was for the Wolastoqiyik, this region was strategically important, to the French,
who built Fort La Tour, and then to the British, who constructed Fort Howe. Following the end of the
American Revolutionary War, Saint John was a major entry point for United Empire Loyalists, who
began arriving in the early 1780s. They were a diverse lot, including Dutch, Huguenot, English, Scots,
Irish and African Americans, both slave and free. Saint John has continued to welcome people from
around the world, most notably, the Irish in the 1840s, followed by Jews and Lebanese in the early 1900s
and more recently, people from Asia, the Balkans and the Middle East.
A selection committee will be appointed to choose the artists or artistic team. The artist and their concept
will be announced in early 2010, as part of initial activities of the Cultural Capitals of Canada year. The
pieces will be installed and unveiled in late 2010.
This project fuses the Saint John region's natural and cultural heritage with artistic expression to create a
unique, interpretive public art project. The piece will operate on a number of levels. First, the installation
will be a stand -alone piece of public art to be viewed and appreciated by people as they travel along
Harbour Passage. Second, the piece will interpret a significant chapter in Saint John's story and will
encourage people to reflect on that historic period and may even challenge their own interpretations or
assumptions. Third, the piece will be installed either on a historic site or in view of it, Passage in Time
will imbue Harbour Passage with a strong sense of place because the piece will trigger viewers'
imaginations, carrying them back in time to consider the richness of the city's diverse history.

2. Where's Art? -- Celebrating the Unexpected
Legacy — HI: Marketing or promotion of cultural activities
This year -long, legacy - building program of events will put a spotlight on arts and culture in the Saint
John region by promoting performances and displays by local community-based groups and individuals
under the Where's Art promotional and organizational umbrella. A celebration of the unexpected and the
unusual, Where's Art will expose local youth and adults to the arts, culture and unique heritage of the
region by placing artistic and cultural endeavours in non - traditional spaces such as public buildings,
industrial and commercial zones, vulnerable schools, shopping malls, supermarkets, hospitals, seniors'
homes, public parks etc. The performances and artistic displays will promote the activities and upcoming
events of local arts and cultural groups, such as the Saint John Theatre Company, Opera New Brunswick,
Symphony New Brunswick, the Saint John String Quartet, high school, middle school and elementary
school drama and music programs, Festival de la baie frangaise, Third Space Gallery, Saint John Arts
Centre, the Early Music Studio, Coup de Coeur, Port City Dance Academy, the Canterbury Tales Literary
Festival, the In Key Choir and other groups.
This series of events will also give the 2010 festivities a mascot — a character named Art — whose face
will be used on promotional and marketing material to connect all these events under the program. Art
and his adventures in the Saint John region will encourage family participation in a series of events that
will provide entertainment, education and community engagement in equal measure, and produce
activities in both official languages. Saint John residents and visitors will be encouraged to watch out for
Art, because when found, creativity and originality will be close at hand. He's a cultural explorer, eager to
discover, learn and experience cultural and artistic expression in all its forms and he is always eager to
invite others to join him. Where's Art is a legacy program that will target young people by marketing and
promoting existing cultural activities. It will expand and enhance the marketing and promotional activities
of community organizations. Events will be scheduled for each month of 2010 and in the years thereafter.
3. City Stories: Our People's History
Legacy —K.- Other - Support for programs to preserve and promote sustainable heritage development
City Stories: Our People's History is an online living heritage project and it lies at the heart of Saint John
225. Throughout 2010 people, businesses and organizations will be invited to submit their stories,
memories and insight of the Saint John region to the Saint John 225 website. This interactive and
searchable site will become a portal, guiding visitors through the history of Saint John, as told by the
people who know it best.
Individuals will be able to submit written accounts and/or photos to the site. In addition to these, Saint
John 225 will also collect short archival audio and video pieces to illustrate important events in our city's
history. We will also recruit volunteers to assist people in recording their stories online such as seniors
and people with disabilities. We are giving the people of Saint John a platform to tell their stories.
City Stories will be fully accessible to anyone who wants to learn about Saint John and we will actively
encourage our local schools and community groups to use it and participate in its creation. This is a
legacy project and at the end of 2010 it will find a permanent home with a research facility where it will
continue to grow and be used by students of history, regardless of age.
In addition to telling the story of its people, City Stories will also include a `biography of the building'
program in recognition of Saint John's architectural heritage.

The project will also utilize the expertise of community partners such as the University of New
Brunswick Saint John, the New Brunswick Museum, New Brunswick Community College, PRUDE Inc.
and L'association R6gionale de la Communaut6 francophone de Saint -Jean (ARCf).
Through City Stories, Saint John residents and visitors will experience a fuller picture of the region's
history because the project will reach past the significant dates to tell the stories of individuals and groups
that lived, struggled and succeeded in the region. It will reflect the city's historical role in this region, its
geographic location at the mouth of the St. John River and its aim to welcome new people and new ideas.
4. Celebration 225: The People, Places and Events That Shaped Saint John
Celebration — B3: Heritage festival
This is the premier celebratory activity in The Original City /La ville origlnale program and it has two
main goals:
1. To commemorate the 225x' anniversary of the city's incorporation; and,
2. To celebrate the city's cultural heritage and the growing diversity of Saint John's population.
Saint John 225 will do this in three complimentary ways.
a. The Official 225'h Anniversary Commemoration
Saint John became Canada's first incorporated city on May 18, 1785. Saint John 225 will
commemorate this important date on Tuesday May 18, 2010 with an official commemoration
ceremony. This event will be open to the public and will occur indoors in anticipation of Saint
John's traditionally cool, wet spring.
b. Celebration 225 Cultural Fair
To launch the summer season, Saint John 225 will invite Saint John residents and visitors to
participate in a day -long outdoor celebration. Tentatively scheduled for Saturday, July 3, 2010,
this family- focused event will feature local cultural performances, children's activities and
musical acts. Existing and emerging artists will be invited to submit ideas for performances
and/or displays at the Cultural Fair. The Celebration 225 Cultural Fair will be held in an outdoor
venue large enough to accommodate the maximum number of participants. The two sites under
consideration are the Saint John Waterfront or Rockwood Park, Canada's largest municipal park.
There are a number of significant milestones between May 18 and July 3 including:
• June 18 226h anniversary of New Brunswick
• June 21 Aboriginal Day
• June 24 406'h anniversary of Samuel de Champlain's arrival in the harbour
• July 1 -- Canada's 143a anniversary of Confederation
c. Saint John 225 Neighbourhood Activity Kits
To help commemorate the city's anniversary, Saint John 225 will create Neighbourhood Activity
Kits to assist neighbourhood groups in planning how they want to celebrate this important year.
From street parties to neighbourhood art projects, Saint John 225 will provide small grants and/or
supplies to encourage Saint John residents to spark their own creativity and make this a truly
original celebration.
Celebration 225 is a vibrant and multilayered program that will build community pride and increase
interest, participation and appreciation of the Saint John region's contemporary arts and culture. Through
102
Saint John 225 -- Description of Programs
Revised: October 2009
Celebration 225 Saint John residents and visitors will experience a fuller picture of the region's history. It
will reflect the city's historical role in this region, its geographic location at the mouth of the St. John
River and its aim to welcome new people and new ideas.
5. First Nations Cultural Celebration
Legacy -- J.• Support for programs to preserve cultural practices and traditional knowledge
This event will be organized, in partnership with Mi'kmaq and Wolastoqiyik communities in New
Brunswick, will organize a celebration and to honour the cultural contributions of First Nations people to
New Brunswick. It will occur in mid - September to coincide with 222°d anniversary of the signing of a
major treaty between the Wolastoqiyik of the Saint John River and the Mi'kmaq of Richibucto,
Miramichi, Chignecto, Pokamouche and Minas Basin. The celebration will occur at Fort Howe,
overlooking the harbour and the site of the original Wolastoqiyik village, and will include demonstrations
of traditional ways of life, including the making of items such as baskets, canoes and toboggans; the
telling of traditional stories and displays and performances by contemporary First Nations artists.
It will be the first major First Nations celebration to be held in Saint John, which, despite the area's
historical connection to the Wolastoqiyik and the Mi'kmaq, does not have a strong First Nations presence.
There are about 640 Aboriginal people living in the City of Saint John, about four per cent of New
Brunswick's Aboriginal population. Potential partners for this event include the provincial government's
Aboriginal Affairs Secretariat, the University of New Brunswick's Micmac - Maliseet Institute and the
New Brunswick Museum. The vision for this event is to create an annual cultural celebration that will be
a legacy program that supports and preserves cultural practices and traditional knowledge among
Aboriginal people. In late 2006, the City of Saint John and Elsipogtog First Nation began talking about
organizing a commemoration ceremony that would celebrate the Wolastoqiyik and the Mi'kmaq way of
life, while educating Saint John residents and visitors about contemporary First Nations'
accomplishments and challenges. The Cultural Capitals' celebration hopes to build upon this event when
planning the 2010 program.
6. Reunion 2010
Celebration — BI: Performing arts festival
Reunion 2010 is a three -day music and performing arts festival featuring performers with Saint John
connections. Inspired by the Old Home Week celebrations that occur throughout the Maritimes, this
festival is an opportunity for musicians to reconnect with their Saint John roots, to honour our shared
artistic and cultural history and to inspire the next generation of artists and performers.
Reunion 2010 will invite professional artists with connections to the Saint John region that have achieved
national and international acclaim to return for a three -day music festival alongside local artists and
performers. Tentatively scheduled for August 6a` to 8'", Reunion 2010 will celebrate Saint John artists,
both those developing their talents in the region and those who have left to pursue their passion on the
world's stage.
During the festival, Saint John 225 will hold a master class and/or workshops to bring these professional
artists together with young people and young, emerging artists. The festival is tentatively planned for an
outdoor venue on the city's waterfront and will feature performances by the returning artists and a
selected group of young, emerging artists. This is a new, celebratory performing arts festival that will
potentially highlight the work of First Nations, francophones, culturally diverse groups and young people.

7. The Arts on the Edge
Legacy — F2: Support far community art programs
This program will allow emerging artists, performers and producers between the ages of 17-29 to push
themselves — to take their performance and art to the edge — while working with masters in their chosen
discipline. Arts on the Edge will have two streams- master class and apprenticeship. Both include small
group discussions with leading professionals, career advice, including resume writing and prepping for
auditions and practical workshops. There will be a total of four master classes/apprenticeships in 2010.
The Arts on the Edge program will be offered in partnership with the Saint John Theatre Company
(www.saintjohntheatrecorn n rn
2a yco _ J. The Saint John Theatre Company began 20 years ago as an
amateur theatre group created by a group of friends who wanted to bring a little theatre to the city. Over
the past two decades the Company has grown, both in terms of its membership and its reach. While it is
still a volunteer-based organization, it has evolved into a true community theatre company, with a small
but growing outreach component.
This is a new legacy-building program that supports the development of community arts programming.
Saint John 225 will work with the Saint John Theatre Company to establish a management plan for Arts
on the Edge post -2010, including criteria for the selection of the masters for the program, the coordination
and management of the apprenticeship program and the criteria for applicants.

III. Knowledge Transfer
The City of Saint John Arts and Culture Policy is anchored by four goals:
• Accessibility and participation;
• Strong arts and culture infrastructure;
• Unique and stimulating environment; and,
• Integral part of the Saint John growth strategy.
The Saint John Community Arts Board is the lead organization for the implementation of this policy and
during 2010 Saint John 225 will work in partnership with the Saint John Community Arts Board to
enhance two existing online activities and introduce three new initiatives to increase community capacity
and the promotion of arts, culture and heritage.
1. Saint John: The Original City/La ville originale website & enews
Legacy — HI: Marketing or promotion of cultural activities among the municipal population
The City of Saint John Cultural Affairs Office currently produces two online digests; the monthly State of
the Arts online newsletter and the Cyber Events Calendar, which includes a free weekly email for
subscribers. In anticipation of the 2010 program of events, these two digests will be replaced by a new
website that will promote the arts, culture and heritage in the Saint John region. The Original City /La ville
originale website will include all elements of cultural and artistic expression and all heritage activities
and events. Saint John 225 and the Cultural Affairs Office will work closely with Tourism Saint John to
ensure the website contributes to the development of cultural tourism, marketing and promotion.
The Original City /La ville originale site will lead by example, using interactive tools and social media to
inform and interact with web users, including Saint John's artistic, cultural and heritage communities.
This will be a vibrant online community that will increase accessibility and participation for Saint John
residents, artists, performers and visitors -- meeting the first goal of the City's Arts and Culture Policy.
A new enews digest will replace the State of the Arts newsletter. It will be an online publication,
providing analysis, reviews and news. Its purpose will be to stimulate ideas and discussion amongst
practitioners and patrons of arts and culture. It will have a broad mandate to report on events and
developments within the Saint John region and also on trends and significant events elsewhere in the
world that may be of interest to a greater Saint John audience, particularly those in the cultural and
heritage sectors. The e-news digest will contribute to the development of a unique and stimulating
environment, the third goal of the Arts and Culture Policy.
2. Cultural Capitals of the World Presents...
Legacy — L• Creation of linkages among municipal cultural workers and members of the arts and heritage
communities... to strengthen their capacity and to support... cultural development
Nanaimo, B.C.; Sackville, N.B.; Wikwemikong, Ont.; Stavanger, Norway; Istanbul, Turkey; and, Cork,
Ireland are all linked through their commitment to the development and promotion of arts and culture.
These are a sample of the 78 municipalities that have been named either Cultural Capitals of Canada or
European Capitals of Culture. There is a wealth of knowledge pertaining to the development of
community-based arts, culture and heritage activities within this group.
Saint John 225 will invite nationally or internationally- renowned experts to headline a panel discussion as
part of the Cultural Capitals of the World Presents... one -day event. This is an expansion of the Saint
John Community Arts Board's successful Arts Summits and provides an opportunity to learn and
determine best practices for community cultural development, including sustained cultural planning and
105
Saint John 225 — Description of Programs
Revised: October 2009
private sector support. In this way, it will contribute to the development of strong arts and cultural
infrastructure, the second goal of the City's Arts and Culture Policy.
3. Arts groups, Businesses and the City: The ABCs of cultural development
Legacy — L Creation of linkages among municipal cultural workers and members of the arts and heritage
communities... to strengthen their capacity and to support... cultural development
In Saint John, as with most municipalities, three groups must work together to enhance cultural
developments: community arts groups and non - profit organizations, private sector businesses and city
staff. What normally occurs is these groups come together to work on specific projects, but they otherwise
have limited ongoing interaction. This has created short-term partnerships; what are needed are
sustainable, long -term relationships.
The Saint John 225 and the Saint John Community Arts Board will spearhead greater interaction between
community organizations, private businesses and City staff with a series of workshops and social events.
The initial activities would target the business community and City workers and include:
• A Lunch and Learn series to brief participants on the details of the City's Arts and Culture Policy
and implementation plan.
• A Culture Hop series that would arrange on -site tours of major arts and cultural venues and
organizations for potential private and public sector investors. Based on the premise that it is
always better to show, rather than tell, the Culture Hop (built out of the City's very popular and
well - established Gallery Hop, held three times each year) would illustrate to business, community
and government leaders the importance of arts and culture to the social and economic
development of the city.
• The State of the Arts annual presentation. The Saint John Community Arts Board will release an
annual report on the status of the Arts and Culture Policy, including its implementation and
private sector and municipal support for the policy. This presentation will be made annually to
Saint John Common Council and the Saint John Board of Trade, the latter at one of the board's
regular luncheon events.
• Arts and Culture Gala Awards. The City of Saint John and the Saint John Community Arts Board
will hold a gala evening event to celebrate Saint John's diverse arts and culture community and to
honour the companies and individuals who have worked hard to enhance, encourage and promote
arts and culture development in the Saint John region. The central theme of the evening will be
the role arts and culture plays in economic and community development and the work of the
award recipients will reflect that. The awards will be based on the strategic roles defined in the
Arts and Culture Policy, specifically: promoter and advocate; planner and facilitator; partner and
patron; manager and exhibitor; and, designer and architect.
Using the principles and goals of the City's Arts and Culture Policy as its template, Saint John 225 and
the Arts Board will illustrate the vital role arts, culture and heritage play in the life of the community and
how they promote greater understanding between community organizations, private businesses and
municipal workers of their individual roles in promoting and enhancing arts and culture. This meets the
fourth goal of the Arts and Culture Policy, to be an integral part of Saint John's growth strategy.

His Worship Mayor Ivan Court
And Members of Common Council
Your Worship & Councillors:
INTRODUCTION
iav9
Recently there has been discussion regarding the heritage merit of buildings surrounding the Peel Plaza
development. At the October 13, 2009 meeting Common Council requested that the Heritage Development Board
make a presentation on the architectural and historical significance of these buildings. The Heritage Board
welcomes the opportunity to do this as well as to suggest a balanced approach that provides for considerable new
development and limited retention of significant heritage assets in this area.
BACKGROUND
During the public hearing process for designation of King Street East, and several smaller areas in 2007, the
Heritage Development Board received a request f-orn the owner of the Chipman Hill Properties and Loyalist
House Museum to have their buildings included as a heritage at-ca. The Board indicated that it was not possible to
consider there at that time, but committed to conduct the necessary research in order to provide a recommendation
to Council in a subsequent report.
The Board undertook research in the immediate area and considered buildings fronting onto Chipman Hilt/Hazen
Avenue, Carleton Street, Peel Street, Wellington Row, Dorchester Street, Coburg Street and Union Street between
Coburg Street and Hazen Avenue. At the request of senior management the results of the first phase of this
research was presented to the public at a meeting held at the Arts Centre.
The research determined that due to the destruction of the South End caused by the Great Fire of June 1877, the
area described as "North of Union ", including the City Market and a few remaining buildings on Charlotte Street,
is the only area which illustrates the early architectural and historic development of Saint John. It alone contains
excellent examples of Georgian, Greet: Revival and Gothic Revival buildings built prior to the Great Fire.
107
Continued... 2 November 23, 2009
ANALYSIS
There is a significant amount of vacant land in the area north of Union Street. It provides an excellent opportunity
for Saint John to demonstrate the flipside of the heritage development coin. In Heritage Conservation, Areas we
have a few vacant lots where new buildings, sensitive to their context, can be built. In the area north of Union we
have a relatively small number of significant buildings which merit heritage designation and can provide
inspiration for new development.
Should Council proceed with designation of a Heritage Conservation Area, it would be prudent for the 5tandar&7
for Conservation of Existing Buildings currently found in Section 8 of the Heritage Conservation Areas By -law to
be used to determine the appropriateness of proposed development of the existing heritage buildings in the area.
In addition, it would be prudent for the ,standards far Near (Infill) Construction currently found in Section 9 of the
Heritage By -law to be used to determine the appropriateness of any new buildings in the 50' area fronting onto
the east side of Wellington Row. Use of these standards will ensure that new buildings would:
a) both respect and contribute to the sense of place and unique identity that heritage architecture provides to
Saint John, by using compatible massing and elements in combination with contemporary materials and
detailing;
b) be at human scale (3 -5 storeys) at the street edge; and
c) be the well designed heritage buildings of the future.
CONCLUSION•
The Heritage Development Board is:
• in favour of development in the area north of Union Street and in particular around Peel Plaza;
• in favour of good urban design and high quality, well detailed architecture that is at a human scale with
3 to 5- storey buildings at street edge and higher buildings behind;
• in favour of a pedestrian friendly city;
• in favour of a sustainable approach to urban development which considers existing heritage buildings as
assets which should be carefully considered for adaptive reuse.
REcomMENDATIONS
1) Council designate as a Heritage Conservation Area, the west side of Wellington Row and the architecturally
and historically significant buildings fronting onto Chipman Hill /Hazen Street, Carleton Street (between
Hazen Street and Wellington Row) and Union Street (between Peel Street and Wellington Row) and
2) Use the standards for New (InfilI) Construction in Section 9 of the Heritage Conservation Areas By -law, to
determine the appropriateness of all new buildings in the 50' area fronting onto the east side of Wellington
Row. This would ensure that any new development would be compatible with its historic context, as the
processional route to Stone Church.

gt.eona Laracey,
Vice Chair

SUBJECT: Proposed Municipal Plan Amendment and Rezoning
72 Broad Street
On October 26, 2009, 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 1, 2009 meeting.
Mr. Marcel Doucet, the applicant, was in attendance at the meeting and expressed
agreement with the recommendation in the staff report. No one else appeared for
or against the application and no letters were received with regards to the
application.
The Committee expressed concern regarding the introduction of a retail store in
an area of the City where it is typically not permitted. The ensuing discussion
with staff and the applicant centred on the unobtrusive nature of the proposed use,
and the existence of other retail stores located on Broad Street.
After considering the report and comments made by the applicant, the Committee
adopted the staff recommendation.
RECOMMENDATION:
I . That Common Council redesignate on Schedule 2 -A and 2 -C of the Municipal
Development Plan, from Medium Density Residential to Approved
Commercial Development, a parcel of land with an area of approximately 400
square metres, located at 72 Broad Street, also identified as PID number
00000398.
2. That Common Council rezone the same parcel of land from "RM -IF" Multiple
Residential Infill to "B -2" General Business.
3. That, pursuant to the provisions of Section 39 of the Community Planning Act,
the proposed development of a parcel of land with an area of approximately
400 square metres, located at 72 Broad Street, also identified as PID number
00000398, with a retail store be subject to the following conditions:

ANALYSIS:
Site and Neighbourhood
Page 3
November 27, 2009
The subject site is located on Broad Street between Carmarthen and Wentworth Streets in the Central
Peninsula area of the City. The subject site is located in an older community comprising of a majority of
buildings constricted before 1920. There is a Roman Catholic Church located immediately west of the
subject site, with residential units dominating most of the neighbourhood. There are several two or three
storey multi -unit residential dwellings in an approximate two - block radius of the subject property. Broad
Street contains a few different commercial uses, including an auto - repair shop and a convenience store
on the same block as the subject site. The Armouries are located on the block south of the subject site.
Off - street parking is located on the two fronts of the property, which is a corner lot located at the south-
eastern side of the Broad and Carmarthen Street intersection. In total, the site can provide
approximately eight parking spaces. The off - street parking provided is augmented by the on- street
parking available on both Carmarthen and Broad Streets. In particular, the church on Carmarthen Street
located across from the subject property has several on- street parking spaces available in front of the
property that are seldom used.
The subject property is unique in that it contains two separate, two - storey wood buildings on the same
lot. "72 Broad" is the location of the proposed retail store, while "304 Carmarthen" is the location of a
two -unit dwelling. 72 Broad was previously a two -unit dwelling as well; however, the upstairs unit is no
longer rented as an apartment, but is used as a storage space for files and small items pertaining to the
proposed retail store. The off - street parking available on the property is shared by both buildings.
The site has a frontage of approximately 12 metres (39 feet) on Broad Street, and approximately 32
metres (105 feet) on Carmarthen Street. The 400 - square -metre area of the property is common
throughout the neighbourhood.
Proposal
The proposed retail store, Brass n Things, seeking relocation to 72 Broad Street from 114 Prince
William Street has been a commercial presence in the Uptown area for over 35 years. The applicant has
stated that the decision to move further into the South End was a result of increases in rent and a strained
relationship with the landlord that made staying at the previous location impossible. Reluctantly, the
applicant decided to move his business to 72 Broad Street where he owns both buildings on the property
lot (the other building faces west on the property lot with a civic address of 304 Carmarthen Street).
Both dwellings at 72 Broad Street and 304 Carmarthen Street were originally two -unit apartments;
however, the dwelling at 72 Broad Street has been unoccupied for some time, and the applicant has
indicated that the unit in the upstairs apartment is unlikely fit for habitation in its current condition. As
such, the applicant believed the relocation of his business to 72 Broad Street would be efficient use of
the vacant property.
The clientele for the business is well established, and consists primarily of local churches, collectors,
and other businesses and institutions. The applicant has indicated that the internet has provided an
increasing share of business in recent years. However, very little of the business associated with Brass `n

Things is derived from shoppers walking in off the street. The business nuns on regular business hours
(9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.).
The proposed retail store would occupy approximately 100 square metres (328 square feet) of the
building's floor area, requiring a minimum of 3 off - street parking spaces. The two -unit dwelling located
on the same property lot, but fronting Carmarthen Street (304 Carmarthen Street), requires 2.5 parking
spaces (rounded to three). In total, the off - street parking required for the subject property is six spaces,
which the existing parking area is able to accommodate.
Proposed Amendments
The applicant's proposal is not permitted under the current Medium Density Residential designation and
"RM -IF" Multiple Residential Infill zoning of the property. The present "RM -IF" zoning does not
permit the use of a retail store. Therefore, amendments to the Municipal Plan and Zoning By -law have
been requested that, if approved by Common Council, would permit the applicant's proposal. The
applicant proposes that the site be redesignated to Approved Commercial Development and that it be
rezoned to "B -2" General Business.
Normally, only a rezoning of the property would be required, as the Municipal Plan's general policies
for Medium Density Residential areas do permit a limited range of small and /or neighbourhood- oriented
commercial uses (subject, of course, to approval of a rezoning) where deemed appropriate. However,
this area of the City is also subject to the more detailed policies of the Central Peninsula Neighbourhood
Plan, which do not allow even local or neighbourhood commercial uses in a Medium Density Residential
designation. Rather, they must be approved by Common Council as Approved Commercial
Developments by means of an amendment to the Municipal Plan, in addition to being rezoned to a
business zone. This additional requirement is in place to emphasize that one of the major goals of the
Central Peninsula Plan is to protect and enhance the residential environment of the Central Peninsula
neighbourhoods.
The policies of the Central Peninsula Plan discourage the introduction of new non - residential uses into
the residential neighbourhoods, especially where the parcel in question adjoins residentially designated
properties on two or more property lines'. The subject site does in fact adjoin residentially designated
land on two sides, therefore, any redesignation of the site for non - residential purposes must be
considered very carefully.
Policy 2.1.4 of the Central Peninsula Plan (incorporated as Section 10.2.1.4 of the Municipal Plan) does
provide for the possibility of such redesignations, stating as follows:
2.1.4 Where specific commercial developments are proposed for individual parcels of
land that require redesignation of the land to a commercial designation, it Shall
be the policy of the City of Saint John that Common Council may approve such
redesignation, Subject to the f )lloiring criteria:
a) Regard shall be had to the policies contained in Section 2.4.4.5, 2.4.4.6
and 2.4.4.7 of the Municipal Development Plan.
' Policy 2.1.3 of the Central Peninsula Plan (incorporated as Section 10.2.1.3 of the Municipal Plan) states, ``Except as
provided for ill Policy 2.1.4, it shall be the policy of the 00) of ,10iiztJolm riot to designate individual parcels of land for
commercial uses where the parcel is adjoiiziizg a residentially designated land oil hi,o or more propero) lilies."

72 Broad Street
Page 5
November 27, 2009
b) The implementing rezoning of the land shall restrict the use of the parcel
to a specific proposal purvuant to Section 39 of the Community Planning
Act.
Sections 2.4.4.5, 2.4.4.6 and 2.4.4.7 of the Municipal Development Plan, referred to in the above -noted
policy statement, are the Plan's general criteria for evaluating proposed rezonings for commercial uses
in residentially designated neighbourhoods. These include criteria such as location on an arterial or
collector street, limitation of the size of the commercial use, and measures to ensure compatibility with
or, at least, minimal impact upon surrounding properties.
Broad Street is designated as an arterial street, and therefore the proposal can satisfy the first general
criterion noted above. Furthermore, the proposed retail store is relatively small and, in relation to other
types of commercial uses, would be generally less disruptive to the neighbourhood than, for example, a
large retail store or a restaurant. However, the concern is with the direction that this rezoning would set
if approved to permit a retail use to be introduced into this block. As noted earlier in this report, Broad
Street is part of a larger residential neighbourhood. The Peninsula Neighbourhood Plan clearly
discourages so- called "commercial creep" into the stable residential areas of the peninsula because the
cumulative impact of these uses tends to undermine the stability and desirability of the area as a
residential community.
Nevertheless, the anticipated impact that the proposed relocation of the retail store would have on the
surrounding residential neighbourhood is negligible. Further, the value of maintaining a historically
unique store within the retail fabric of existing Saint John businesses outweigh the perceived negative
impacts it may have. Typically staff would be disinclined to endorse the introduction of a commercial
development in the residential area of the southern peninsula. In this case, however, staff believe there
will be very minimal impact on the adjacent community, and can therefore recommend approval. The
recommended Section 39 conditions will clearly limit the nature and extent of the use to the applicant's
specific proposal, as required by the policies of the Peninsula Plan. A further condition is recommended
to limit the nature of signage that would be permitted in conjunction with the business.
CONCLUSION:
The subject site is located within a primarily residential block of the City's Central Peninsula residential
neighbourhood. The present policies of the Central Peninsula Neighbourhood Plan do not generally
encourage the introduction of commercial uses into a residential neighbourhood. However, considering
the size and nature of the proposed retail store and the location on an arterial street, the impact on the
adjacent community will likely be minimal. Therefore, it is recommended that the application be
approved subject to conditions limiting the use to the applicant's proposal.

That Common Council amend the Section 39 conditions imposed on the November 8, 1976 rezoning of
the property located at 187 Golden Grove Road, also identified as PID Number 55201768, to permit the
constriction of an approximately 12.2 -metre by 14.6 metre addition to the rear of the existing body
shop, subject to the following additional conditions:
a) The proponent must upgrade the landscaped areas along the street frontages of the site, in
accordance with the detailed landscaping plan, to be prepared by the proponent and subject to

surface is evenly paved and presentable.
c) All work required in conditions (a) and (b) must be completed within one year of approval of
the building permit for the proposed addition to the body shop.
BACKGROUND:
In 1976, Common Council amended the Municipal Plan and rezoned the entire property at 185 -187
Golden Grove Road from "RS -2" One and Two Family Suburban Residential to "I -1" Light Industrial to
permit the operation of an auto body shop. The rezoning was subject to Section 39 conditions relating to
the operation of the shop and the development of the site. As a result of the rezoning, the existing
dwelling at 185 Golden Grove Road became a non - conforming use. In 1979, Common Council
approved a Section 39 amendment to permit an expansion of the auto body shop.
In January of 1981, Common Council amended the Municipal Plan designation and zoning for 185
Golden Grove Road from Light Industrial back to Low Density Residential and from "I -1" Light
Industrial to "RS -2" One and Two Family Suburban Residential in order to permit an addition to the
existing dwelling at 185 Golden Grove Road.
In June of 1984, Common Council amended the Section 39 conditions to permit a three square metre (32
square foot) fascia sign to be placed on the auto body shop and advised the previous owner to remove an
existing freestanding sign from the property.
On May 20, 2009, the Planning Advisory Committee approved an amended subdivision plan that
allowed the owner to sell the auto body shop pertaining to the "I -1" Light Industrial zone, and maintain
ownership of the adjacent residential dwelling at 185 Golden Grove Road. However, the Committee and
Council denied the applicant's request for a Municipal Plan amendment and rezoning, which were made
in effort to include a five -bay garage that is located on the residential lot as part of the sale of the auto
body shop. A fence separating the two properties to ensure that the garage would not be used as a part of
the operations of the auto body shop was added as a condition by the Committee to the approval of the
subdivision of the property.

ANALYSIS:
Subiect Site and Neighbourhood
The subject site is located on the north side of Golden Grove Road at the intersection with Roxbury
Drive and Westmorland Road in the Glen Park area of East Saint John. The subject site is zoned "I -1"
Light Industrial, and has an area of approximately 2,200 square metres (23,680 square feet). It currently
contains an auto body shop, which has been operating at the same location since the mid- 1970s. The site
is poorly landscaped, with various objects strewn throughout the rear yard of the property, and the paved
entrance to the shop containing several potholes and a generally unlevel surface.
The surrounding area contains a variety of residential zones, ranging from "RS -1" One and Two Family
Suburban Residential and "RS -2" One and Two Family Suburban Residential to "RM -1" Three Storey
Multiple Residential.
Proposal
The applicant recently purchased the site and is proposing to constrict a 12.2 metre (40 foot) by 14.6
metre (48 foot) addition to the existing auto body shop. The extension would be used primarily as an
area to paint and clean vehicles, which enables the applicant to enhance the range of services offered to
potential customers.
The proposed extension to the existing auto body shop satisfies the zone standards outlined in the "I -1"
Light Industrial section of the Zoning By -law. However, considering the establishment of the proposed
addition will require significant cleanup and constriction in the rear of the property, the applicant should
simultaneously commit to improving the aesthetics of the entire site. Enhancing the landscaping along
the front property line, and fixing the portions of the paved surface that currently contain potholes and
several loose rocks that make the front area of the subject site unsightly and dangerous for pedestrians is
highly recommended. Considering the light industrial use of the auto body shop is situated in a
residential neighbourhood, maintaining an attractively landscaped and properly paved lot is imperative
to maintain the character of the community. Allowing a light industrial use, such as an auto body shop,
that maintains an unsightly property could have negative impacts on the surrounding property values and
compromise the safety of pedestrians entering the subject site.
The applicant has expressed great interest in making several repairs to the building and property to
improve the general appearance of the site. Staff is of the opinion that these efforts should include
proper landscaping and paving.

CONCLUSION:
Page 4
November 27, 2009
An auto body shop has been an established use at the above address since the mid- 1970s. The proposal
to constrict an addition to the existing shop to provide a painting and cleaning area for vehicles is an
acceptable extension to the services currently offered at Scott's Auto Body and Collision. However,
considering the aesthetic condition of the subject site, which is located in a residential neighbourhood,
proper landscaping and an improved paved surface should be included in the plans to enhance the
current business.

ANALYSIS:
Page 3
November 27, 2009
Site and Surroundings
The subject site is located directly off Loch Lomond Road at the corner of that Road and Linda Court in
East Saint John (see location map). It is composed of a large dwelling located in the centre of a
relatively rectangular lot. The lot's area is approximately 2,130 square metres (22,927.1 square feet),
measuring 33.6 metres by 63.8 metres (110.9 feet by 209.3 feet). It is primarily landscaped, with a pool
located at the rear of the property, along with two driveways: one located off Loch Lomond Road and
stretching some 33.6 metres (110.9 feet) back into the property (and then turning onto the neighbouring
property); and a second small driveway located off Linda Court and used to access the garage. The
remaining part of the property is landscaped.
This area of Loch Lomond Road contains a mix of dwellings. Along Loch Lomond Road, there are a
number of older residential dwellings. The neighbouring property is a group home (255 Loch Lomond
Road) (permitted in the R -2 zone), and the property located across Linda Court from the subject
property has been converted to local medical offices (243 Loch Lomond Road). The properties are
zoned "R -2" One and Two Family Residential.
A number of multi -unit apartment buildings are situated along Linda Court, and a number of vacant lots
are also located along the Court which could also accommodate additional apartment buildings. This
area is zoned "RM -1" Three Storey Multiple Residential.
In the immediate vicinity of the subject property is the Saint John Transit Operations Centre, as well as
local businesses (a bar and a take -out restaurant) along Loch Lomond, as well as Loch Lomond Place
(formerly Loch Lomond Mall), which now houses office space as well as a pool hall and a restaurant.
The Loch Lomond Villa, a high- density senior citizen care home, and other rental apartments are located
along Ellerdale Street.
The high frequency No. 3 -4 Hospital/UNB to McAllister Place bus route traverses along MacDonald
Street in front of the former Mall, turning away from the subject property at Loch Lomond Road, but
again coming close to the property along Ellerdale Street.
In the wider area, there is significant residential development north, west and south -west of the subject
property. To the south -east is land associated with a utility corridor, and beyond that, the oil refinery.
Proposal
The applicant is proposing to convert the existing dwelling into a senior citizen group care home for up
to 12 residents, who would share common facilities (see enclosed plans). Care would be available 24
hours -a -day to residents, and the applicant indicates that they are licensed by the Province.
Allunicipal Plait Direction
The subject site and surrounding area are designated Low Density Residential by the Municipal Plan.
The Plan's policies for low density residential areas provide for a wide range of housing, so long as the
density does not exceed 37 dwellings per hectare.
Loch Lomond Road is designated an Arterial Road, and Loch Lomond Place is designated a `District
Centre' in the Municipal Plan. The latter designation, however, appears to be dated given that all key
239
Ms. Sandra Ferris and Laura Saunders
251 Loch Lomond Road
Page 4
November 27, 2009
facilities which were offered from this destination (hence resulting in the designation) have since closed
and /or have been relocated. In any event, care will be provided at the residence, so immediate access to
services is not as necessary.
The proposed rezoning is therefore consistent with the Municipal Plan.
Proposed Rezoning
The applicant proposes to rezone the property from "R -2" One and Two Family Residential to "IL -1"
Neighbourhood Institutional to allow the establishment of the group care facility for senior citizens. The
proposed zone permits a number of uses, including a church, community centre, group care facility,
senior citizens housing, etc.
The key considerations for the proposed use is whether this is the right location for the use, and
secondly, whether the site itself has sufficient space to accommodate the necessary requirements for the
proposed use (e.g. landscaping and parking space). Each are dealt with in turn below.
Location Assessment
The subject property is located along a primary road in the City, and is located in close distance to, but
not on, a primarily bus route. A number of high intensity developments are located nearby.
As it is a care facility, residents will be provided with all of the care they require. However, if residents
would like to leave the facility to access key facilities and destinations, the transit route is nearby which
links the site to key destinations e.g. Uptown and McAllister Place Mall), and there is sufficient parking
on site which enable any residents with vehicles, as well as staff and visitors, to park.
The applicant is seeking to intensify the use of the property, but it may only result in a slightly greater
impact on traffic and waste (due to number of occupants of the building) than its current residential use.
Bearing -in -mind the properties context, which includes a number of apartment buildings (including a
senior citizen care home), it appears intensification would be acceptable and be compatible with its
surroundings. Indeed, this would accord with sustainable practices to maximise the use of land and
facilities /services.
Site Assessment
The applicant proposes to convert the existing building, and as such, property dimensions are not
specifically considered as part of the rezoning. That said, they can act as a guide to whether the property
can accommodate the proposed use. The property meets the lot area, parking and landscaped space
requirements.
The parking requirement for group care facilities is based on the number of bed proposed, which in this
case is 12 (for 12 residents). The requirement is 1 space per 6 beds, for a total of 2 spaces required on
site'. More than enough space is provided on site for the parking requirement, and no modifications are
required.
' In the letter sent out to neighbours, staff inadvertently indicated that 7 spaces would be required. In any event the letter
indicated that sufficient space was provided for the parldng requirement, if the greater figiue was applicable.

The property is located within the built up area of the City, and the intensification of the property is
desirable as it would seek to maximise the use of the land. Furthermore, staff accepts that the property is
of a size to accommodate the proposed use, as it meets spatial and parking requirements of the Zoning
By -law.
Given the IL -1 zone permits a number of different uses, which may have greater impacts that the
proposed use (e.g. a church), a Section 39 condition should be imposed restricted the use to a group care
facility for up to 12 senior citizens, as proposed by the applicant.
CONCLUSION:
That the proposed rezoning is approved subject to the recommended condition.

Issue: West Saint John |nfd|Remme6iationChallenges
Context There are u number of new and old properties in West Saint John that have a
questionable appearance to them due to materials that have been utilized for infill stabilization.
Although I am a strong supporter of residential growth we must also be strong supporters of
'responxib|e' residential growth.
Several citizens have raised this development concern to me. The 'environmental look'
of these new properties is not positive due to the materials used and the state of the property after the
development is completed. Remediation of these infill sites must be examined —especially with respect
to the responsibility of the 'deelopec'
Motion: That through the Acting City Manager staff report back to Council by January 15, 2010 with
respect to existing policy or proposed new policy in order to rectify the challenge of the questionable
appearance uf residential lnfN|sites.
Respect fully su�b�ii'ttecl,

Issue: Lmrnen|Ne and new Municipal Plan for the City of Saint John
Context: My advocacy is to raise the consciousness of those who will be leading the development
of the City of Saint John's new Municipal Plan with respect to the area of Lorneville. This area has
significant potential to enhance its overall quality oflife through its involvement in the development of
our new Municipal Plan, it will be critical to engage citizens from this area nf our City.
It is an area with a number of unique challenges which include:
a Safe passage within the neighbourhood;
0 Zoning uncertainty;
0 An historical sense of not being engaged by The City of Saint John;
0 Living in the shadow of an Industrial Park.
From avery positive lens, Mr. Tim [/ReiXly, Manager of Pedestrian & Traffic Services,
municipal Operations, has been actively involved with the leadership from Lorneville in examining the
issue of 'safe passage.' VVe need 10 build on his efforts.
Motion: That this report hm received for information.

Issue: Intelligence Lead Policing
Context: As a member of the Police Commission I had the opportunity to hear a presentation by
Senior Saint John Police Department Officials regarding the above topic.
This was an extremely informative examination of how intelligence lead policing is 'significantly'
reducing crime in our City. I feel this presentation to Council would give Councillors new knowledge and
insight into the scientific and sophisticated workings of our Police Force. | feel 'Ward' Councillors would
gain new positive data about their areas with respect to crime reduction.
Motion: That the Common Clerk's Office schedule a presentation from Senior Saint John Police

Dear Mayor Court and Members of Council
Motion, The City Manager negotiates with The ONE Change for the operation of the
North End Community Centre.
ONE Change has partnered with the city and the NECC for six years. Working in partnership
has been very successful for the residents of the Old North End.
ONE Change has continued to expand its very sUCCeSSfUl youth programming to include seniors
programming, community events. and educational programs through a community computer
Z--
access centre.
Why license the NECC to ONE Change and not.just continue the partnership?
ONE Change programs have grown beyond the space at the Community Police Office and are
taking up more of the program time at the NECC already.
When NECC programs conclude for the year, ONE Change programs are 12 months a year. A
NECC operated by ONE Change would be a 12 month. operation.
ONE Change has proven an effective model in reducing crime. The Saint John Police Force has
provided summer statistics for the past seven years that have shown drops in calls to service for 5
of the six summers the ONE Change programs have operated. After 6 years of summer
programming the calls to service for the SJPF are approximately 55% of what they were in the
summer before ONE Change was born.
Savings for the City Budget. One of the reasons that ONE Change operates the Youth program
in the summers is because as a registered charity, There are grants available to the organization
Ct are not available to the municipality (ie. Government Summer Student grants, Greater Saint

John Community Foundation grants, etc.) ONE Change is also a mix of staff and volunteers that
helps it to be economical. While ONE Change would require an operating grant in order to run
the NECC, I am confident that the amount of the operating grant will be less than the City's
current operating expenditure at the Centre.

Dear Mayor Court and Members VƒCouncil
Motion: That the City establish am exemption permit program allowing residents without access to
off street parking to apply for a registered tag that will allow them on-street parking during the winter
ban when there is no snow or when plowing has been completed. Further, the permit program will
include a notification protocol so that Operations can require compliance with the ban in anticipation
mfan upcoming storm.
Making Saint John o livable city during the winter requires efficient and effective clearing of snow from
our streets. Enforcing the bylaw requiring those with off-street parking to use their own available
parking makes perfect sense. Unfortunately there are unique situations outside of the exemption zones
where residents are now faced with the choice of moving from their homes or selling their vehicles.
The granting of an exemption permit that requires an electronic contact method (email, twitter,
voicemoaiDfor ban information would allow these residents to remain in their homes while also keeping
thestreetsdearvvhenneoessary — dorUnAstorrns. Permit holders would be required, upon notice ofan
impending snow event, tm have their vehicles removed from snow ban streets.
This policy will ensure that the bylaw will continue 0m achieve its most important aim of ensuring rapid
and comprehensive snow clearance during and immediately following an event, while at the same time
allowing residents with parking challenges the ability to park near their residence when streets don't
need tobecleared.

REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL
Your Worship and Members of Council,
SUBJECT: DRINKING WATER QUALITY — TRIHALOMETHANES (THMS)
BACKGROUND
Trihalomethanes (THMs) are a group of compounds that form when the chlorine used to
disinfect drinking water reacts with naturally occurring organic matter in the water
(microscopic particles of decaying vegetation and other organic matter). Because of
potential health effects, these disinfection by- products in drinking water are regulated.
The Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality (GCDWQ) include a guideline
statement on trihalomethanes, updated in April 2009:
Trihalomethanesl
The maximum acceptable concentration (MAC) for trihalomethanes (THMs) in
drinking crater is 0.100 mg L (100pg L) based on a locational running annual
average of a minimum of quarterly samples taken at the point to the distribution
system with the highest potential THM levels.
Utilities should make every effort to maintain concentrations as low as reasonably
achievable without compromising the effectiveness of disinfection.
For more than 100 years, chlorine has been the most commonly used drinking water
disinfectant; Saint John began chlorinating its potable water in the 1930s. Disinfection is
necessary to neutralize microorganisms that can cause serious and life - threatening
diseases, such as cholera and typhoid fever. It is well established that the benefits of
chlorinating drinking water far outweigh health risks associated with THMs or other
disinfection by- products (DBPs).
Part of the sampling plan for Saint John, approved by the New Brunswick Department of
Health under the Clean Water Act, is testing for a large number of organic compounds
(carbon- containing compounds derived from living organisms).

Test samples for THMs are taken four times per year (3 -month cycle) from 18 locations
in the distribution system. These locations are selected as sampling sites because they are
points in the system with the highest potential for elevated THM levels.
Purpose of Report This report is to inform Council and the public of recent drinking
water sample results; the running annual average at three locations in West Saint John
exceeded Health Canada guideline for total trihalomethanes.
ANALYSIS
THM Sampling Results (2009)
Test results for THMs (µg /L) at the designated sampling locations are as shown below.
Two sites involve raw source water, two are for wells in the Harbourview Subdivision,

Water Quality Sampling - Trihalomethanes
kecember
Page
In accordance with the City's Approval to Operate its drinking water distribution and
treatment facilities, a full range of bacteriological, inorganic and organic tests are carried
out in accordance with an Approved Sampling Plan issued by the Province of New
Brunswick. The Plan is approved by the Department of Health; with day -to -day
management the responsibility of the Department of Environment. The approach reflects
standardization and quality control of sampling information across the province. All
information generated is fully and promptly shared among regulators (Health and
Environment) and the City.
Testing for THMs occurs quarterly (four times per year) at points around the distribution
system with the highest potential THM levels. Table 1 (attached) provides a summary of
total THM readings for 2005 to 2009. In three of the 15 distribution system sampling
locations (excluding raw and well sites), the 2009 running annual average (of four
consecutive quarters) indicates counts of 103, 118 and 107 µg /L — above the maximum
acceptable concentration (MAC) of 100 µg /L (0.100 mg /L).
Drinking Water Disinfection and Formation of THMs
Chlorine is used to reduce or eliminate disease - causing microorganisms, such as bacteria
and viruses, potentially present in drinking water supplies. For more than a century, the
safety of drinking water supplies around the world has been greatly improved by the use
of chlorine. It was the failure of Walkerton's chlorination system that led directly to the
Ontario tragedy of May 2000.
While chlorine provides great benefits, it also reacts chemically with organic matter
naturally present in water.
Formation of disinfection by- products (DBP) is a complex chemical process; a function
of naturally occurring organic precursor concentration and type, chlorine type and dose,
contact time (the time chlorine spends interacting with organic material while in the
distribution system), water pH and temperature, and bromide ion concentration. THM
levels are generally lower in winter than in summer, because of lower temperatures.
An important parameter in DBP formation is pH: THM potential increases at high pH and
decreases at low pH; whereas the formation of haloacetic acids (HAAS) (the second most
common group of DBPs) decreases at high pH and increases at low pH. As such, it is
important to maintain balance in water chemistry - some remedial measures applied to
minimize THMs could potentially maximize the formation of other DBPs.
The critical part played by disinfection in water treatment needs to be emphasized; the
health benefits of chlorination are significant. The question is not about eliminating
chlorine; the challenge is to achieve an optimal level of usage in combination with a fiull
range of safety features to assure drinking water safety.

Why the Elevated Levels of THMs?
kecember
Page
Given the multiple variables affecting the formation of disinfection by- products, several
factors contribute to the THM levels that have exceeded guidelines.
Inability to Remove Organic Precursor Material Minimizing the amount of organic
matter that enters the system would greatly reduce the formation potential of disinfection
by- products. The reactive nature of dissolved organic carbon (i.e. the type) in our water is
a potential contributing factor. Removal of this precursor requires filtration as part a fidl
treatment process, including technologies such as coagulation and sedimentation. In some
situations, membrane filtration or other technologies such as magnetic ion exchange
(MIEX) could be used. Currently, Saint John does not have the capability to remove
organic precursor material (root of the problem), let alone optimize the removal process.
Chlorine Dose The amount of chlorine used for disinfection needs to be sufficient
to first ensure inactivation or elimination of dangerous microorganisms, such as bacteria
and viruses, and, secondly, to ensure that a chlorine - residual remains in the water as it
travels in the distribution system to the consumer's tap. This small amount of chlorine
remaining in the water ensures that microorganisms do not re- contaminate the water after
it leaves the treatment plant. Maintaining adequate chlorine residuals is important. The
internal condition of water distribution mains, their capacity and configuration, and "time
in system" influence the chlorine consumed and, therefore, the chlorine dosage required
to maintain an adequate residual. A primary reason for the watermain cleaning and lining
program relates to maintaining adequate chlorine residuals.
Contact Time The longer the contact time the more time the chlorine has to react with
the organic matter in the water. Therefore, oversized mains, dead ends and areas of low
usage allow the water to "age" before being consumed. This "aging" extends the contact
time for the chemical reactions to take place and form THMs and other DBPs.
Water Ph THM formation increases at high pH and decreases at low pH; whereas
the formation of HAAS decreases at high pH and increases at low pH.
Water Temperature In 2007, when THM levels previously exceeded guideline values,
the water temperature of our water sources had reached new historical highs: 22.6 0C at
Spruce Lake and 23.9 0C at Latimer Lake. During 2009, lake temperature at Spruce Lake
exceeded the 2007 high, reaching 24.0 °C. Latimer Lake temperature approached the 2007
high with a reading of 2330C. Given that higher temperatures increase the potential for
THM formation, the new high temperature at Spruce Lake contributed to the increased
levels of these disinfection by- products.
Laboratory Testing Procedures Saint John Water utilizes labs that are accredited to
analyze samples as per Health Canada guidelines.

Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality2
kecember
Page
The Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality are based on current, published
scientific research related to health effects, aesthetic effects, and operational
considerations. Health -based guidelines are established on the basis of comprehensive
review of known health effects associated with each contaminant, on exposure levels and
on the availability of treatment and analytical technologies. Aesthetic effects (e.g., taste,
odour) are taken into account when these play a role in determining whether consumers
will consider the water drinkable. Operational considerations are factored in when the
presence of a substance may interfere with or impair a treatment process or technology
(e.g., turbidity interfering with chlorination or UV disinfection) or adversely affect
drinking water infrastructure (e.g., corrosion of pipes).
Generally, the highest priority guidelines are those for microbiological contaminants as
they can cause serious and life threatening illness: Health Canada tirarns that any
measure taken to reduce concentrations of chemical contaminants such as disinfection
by-products must not compromise the effectiveness of disinfection.
The term maximum acceptable concentration (MAC) is used to establish a health - related
drinking water standard for contaminants that have known or suspected adverse health
effects when above a certain concentration. The length of time the MAC can be exceeded
without injury to health depends on the nature and concentration of the parameter.
The guideline for THMs represents a level of exposure that is acceptable throughout life
and that will not cause an increased risk to health. It takes into account all exposures from
drinking water (whether by ingestion, inhalation or dermal absorption). The guideline is
measured as a locational running annual average of quarterly samples, because THM
levels can vary significantly over time, including seasonally, with factors such as the
levels of organic matter in the raw water and temperature.
Minimizing THM Formation
The key to lowering THMs, HAAS and other disinfection by- products is removal of the
organic matter from the water before it is disinfected. Other measures include ongoing
testing, chlorination management, watermain cleaning and lining, and system flushing.
Chlorination Management Improvements at Latimer Lake
The refiurbishment of the Latimer Lake chlorination facility included installation of flow -
paced chlorinators; equipment that controls chlorine dosages being injected into the
water. This has reduced chlorine usage during low flow periods (for example, overnight).

Watermain Cleaning and Lining Renovations
kecember
Page i
The amount of chlorine used for disinfection needs to ensure that a chlorine - residual
remains in the water as it travels in the distribution system to the consumer's tap - to
ensure microorganisms do not re- contaminate the water after it leaves the treatment plant.
A primary reason for the City's watermain
cleaning and lining initiative relates to
maintaining adequate chlorine residuals in
the distribution system. Clean pipes have a
direct and positive impact on the amount of
chlorine needed. Since 2006, over 25
kilometres of tuberculated, unlined cast
iron pipe has been cleaned and lined. On
November 23rd, Council awarded the
contract for Phase VI; an additional 4.7
kilometres on the West system.
WATEi ALAN CLEANING AND LINING
"Beside the fact that the tuberculation build
up in water mains can colour the water
flowing through and reduce its aesthetic
appeal, pipes in this condition also consume
the available chlorine residual from the water
and release higher than acceptable levels of
iron. Testing of water in cast iron mains and
at homes /businesses serviced by such piping
reveal ... depressed chlorine residuals."
Watermain Flushing and Uni- directional Flushing (UDF)
Dead -ended watermains can cause water quality problems because of the time water can
spend in the pipeline, including loss of chlorine residual, formation of disinfection by-
products, bacteria growth, turbidity, metals and debris accumulation. Watermain flushing
remains a tool used to help manage water quality — into the foreseeable future.
Full Treatment (Filtration) of Drinking Water
At the root of this water quality problem is the inability to remove naturally occurring
organic matter from the water before it is disinfected with chlorine. Removing DBP pre-
cursors from the water before disinfection is the essential solution to addressing THMs.
The need for organic precursor removal is recognized in the Action Plan for Safe Clean
Drinking Water.
Drinking water, essential to life and good health, must be delivered to consumers in a
state that is clear, colourless, odourless and free of all disease - causing micro- organisms
(pathogens) or harmful chemicals.
Currently, water quality (in accordance with the GCDWQ) "treatment" consists of only
two very basic steps. The first is coarse screening to prevent such things as rocks, sticks,
eels and other fish from entering the water system. This screening, however, it is not
capable of removing fine particles or dissolved organic matter. The second step consists
of disinfection with either chlorine gas (Latimer Lake) or sodium hypochlorite solution
(Spruce Lake).

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
kecember
Page
Closely monitoring the issue of chlorination disinfection by- products involves
operational costs included in the operating budget for Saint John Water.
An intensive and ongoing commitment to watermain cleaning and lining will be
necessary for some years to come — until all candidate piping has been rehabilitated.
The big issue, however, is the constriction of modern drinking water treatment facilities
for Saint John, as set out in the Action Plan for ,Safe Clean Drinking Water.

Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality: Guideline Technical
Document: Trihalomethanes
The Guideline Technical Document (GTO) forTdha/ornethenes (THMs) was published in 2006, which
also includes a specific guideline for bromodichloromethane (BDCM). The Maximum Acceptable
Concentration (MAC) for THMs Is based on the health effects ofoh/omoforrn, and applies to the total
concentration of chloroform, 8DC;4, dibronnooh(orunnethane and broonofornm.
Since the publication of the GTD, several new scientific papers have been published on the health
effects of BDCM and ofTHMs. As these articles were considered to have a potential bearing on the
existing guideline values, a panel of experts was convened in September 2008 to provide expert
advice and to make recommendations to Health Canada and to the Fecleral-Provincial-Territorial
Committee on Drinking VVater(CDVV) regarding BDCM in drinking water.
Based on Health Canada's re-assessment of the ovannU weight of scientific evidence and on the
findings and recommendations of the Expert Panel! on BDCM, the Fecleral-Provincial-Territorial
[DVV recommended rescinding the separate guideline for BDCM. The guideline for THMs is now
considered sufficient on its own to protect for potential adverse health effects related to the
exposure to B0CM in drinking water. The new information on BDCM will be added in tbeBTO for
THMs during the next update o[ the document.
Effective April 2009, the guideline statement for trihalomethanes in drinking water is modified to
remove the separate guideline for BDCM, recognizing that the rnax|rnoru acceptable concentration
forTHMa is protective of the health effects of all THMs, including BDCM. The revised Guideline
statement reads as follows:
Trihalomethanes
The maximum acceptable concentration (MA(J for brihalomethanes in drinking
water is 0.100 mg1L (100 jugIL) based on a locationa/ running annual average of
min/mum of quarterly samples taken at the point in the distribution system with the
highest potential 77fMlevels.
Utilities should make every effort to maintain concentrations as /ow as reasonably
achievable without compromising the effectiveness ofdisinfection.

Chlorine ioa disinfectant added todrink-
ing water to reduce or eliminate microor-
ganisms, such as bacteria and viruses,
which can be present in water supplies.
The addition of chlorine to our drinking
water has greatly reduced the risk of
waterborne diseases.
For more than m century, the safety of
Canadian drinking water supplies has
been greatly improved by the addition of
chlorine. Disinfecting our drinking water
ensures i[is free of the microorganisms
that can cause serious and |ife-thneohan-
inQ diseases, such es cholera and
typhoid fever. To this de}\ chlorine
remains the most commonly used drink-
ing water disinfectant, and the disinfec-
tant for which vv* have the most scientific
information.
Chlorine isadded ao part nf the drinking
water treatment process. However, chlo-
rine also reacts with the organic matter,
naturally present im water, such as
decaying leaves. This chemical reaction
forms o group of chemicals hnovvm as
disinfection by-products. The most com-
mon ofthese by-products are th-
ho[onmethanee/THK8G\,which include
chloroform. The amount ofTMMsfound
in drinking water depends onanumber
of things, including the season and the
source of the water. For example, THM
levels are generally lower in winter than
in summer, because the amount of natu-
ral orgenicmatterie]ovveraod|ess ch[o-
dneienmededtodbsinfectst co|dortem-
peroturas. TMK4 |ave|e are also [nvv
when wells nr large lakes are the drink-
ing water source, and higher when rivers
or other surface waters are the source,
because they generally contain more
organic matter.
Current scientific data shows that the
benefits of chlorinating our drinking
water (less disease) are much greater
than any health risks from THMs and
other by-products. Although otherdisin-
factants are available, chlorine remains
the choice of water treatment experts.
When used with modern water filtration
methods, chlorine is effective against vir-
tually all microorganisms. Chlorine is
easy hm apply and Gmna|Uamountso[the
chemical remain im the water 8S it travels
in the distribution system from the treat-
ment pVanttothenmosummgr'stop'Thia
level of effectiveness ensures that
microorganisms cannot v000nbanninatn
the water after it leaves the treatment
A number wf cities use ozone 1odisinfect
their water, because nzonation does not
produce TMyNs. Although ozone ioavery
effective disinfectant, it breaks down
quickly and cannot ba used tomaintain
disinfection in the distribution ovstann.
Small amounts of chlorine nr
other disinfectants still must be
added. Renovating water treat-
ment pyanto so they can use
ozone can b8expensive.
Examples of other disinfectants
include ohloramines and chlorine
dioxide. Ch|ommmineo are weaker
disinfectants than chlorine, but
are very effective in the distribu-
tion ayat*nn. Chlorine dioxide can
be used iO the treatment plant,
but itis not very effective inthe
distribution system .
All nhenlnoX disinfectants used in
drinking water can beexpected
to form by-products that could
affect human health. In A8nQT@],
vvg know less about the by-prod-
ucts of other disinfectants than
about chlorination by-products.
Lab animals exposed to very
high levels ofTH&4o have an
increased risk Of cancer. Several
studies on humans have also
found a link between long-term
exposure to high levels of chlori-
nation by-produotsandehighar
risk of cancer. For |nstonca, e
recent study showed ao
increased risk Vf bladder and
possibly colon cancer in people
who drank chlorinated water for
35 years ormore.
High levels of THMs may also
have on effect om pregnancy. A
California study found that preg-
nantvvommen who drank |orQo
amounts of tap water with high
THMo had on increased risk of
miscarriage. These studies do
not prove that there is a link
between lFHMo and cancer or
miscarriage. However, they do
show the need for further
maoeonoh in this area toconfirm
potential health effects.
The federal and provincial gov-
ernments share responsibility for
safe drinking vvmtec Provincial
governments are generally
responsible for the day-to-day
provision of drinking water to their
constituents. The water they pro-
vide must meet their own drinking
water requirements, which are
based onthe Guidelines for
Canadian Drinking Water Quality.
These guidelines are published
by Health Canada and developed
in collaboration with all provincial
and territorial governments.
Health Canada publishes an
annual table summary ofthe
guidelines, which is available on
its Web Site.
Health Canada has established e
guideline forTHK4o of 0.1 mil-
ligrams per litre. The cancer risk
ot this level over a lifetime iscon-
sidered extremely low. The guide-
lines forTHMa and other chlori-
nation by-products are currently
under review bya task group
whose work is coordinated by
Health Canada.

Drinking water that meets the
guidelines does not usually need

SUBJECT: Tender for Aquatic Centre Roof Replacement
BACKGROUND:
Tenders closed on October 21, 2009 for the supply of all necessary labour,
materials and equipment needed to replace the Canada Games Aquatic Center
roof.
City of whit John
This project was necessitated by the need to address ongoing and costly
maintenance problems with the existing roof, which is the original roof that was
installed when the Aquatic Centre was constricted in 1985.
Design and specifications for the replacement roof were provided by a professional
consulting firm who specializes in roofing needs for facilities of this nature.
ANALYSIS:
Two companies opted to participate in the City's call for bids by submitting
tenders. The following is a summary of the two bids including the total project cost
offered by each;
Flynn Canada, Dieppe, N.B. $1,491,600.00
Dowd Roofing, Saint John $1,962,697.00
*Total Cost includes taxes
272
Page Two
ANALYSIS....Cont'd;
In addition to the detailed specifications provided, bidders were instructed to
submit a number of pricing options for this project. These included a total cost for
the project as specified, including a Contingency Allowance of 10% of the total bid
price, a Breakout Price for the supply of optional Decor Profile and a second
Breakout Price for optional preparation and painting of specific areas of steel
framing.
Staffs of Materials Management and Facilities Management have reviewed the
tenders submitted and have found both to be complete in every regard. In addition
to this review staff has assessed the need to include the areas identified in the
Break Out pricing and have determined that the Decor Profile does not bring value
to project equal to the cost associated with it and have therefore opted not to
include the Break Out price for it in the net total cost for this project.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The net total cost to provide all necessary labour, materials and equipment needed
to supply and install a new roof of the Canada Games Aquatic Center, if awarded
as recommended to the lowest bidder, will be $1,205,710.00. This cost includes
the net bid price, the 10% contingency allowance and the 13% H.S.T., but it does
not include the quoted costs for one of the identified options, ie the Decor Profile.
This is a planned project and as such funds to cover the cost were identified and
are available in the 2009 Aquatic Centre Capital Budget.
273
Page Three
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the tender for the provision of all required labour, materials
and equipment necessary to supply and install a new roof on the Canada Games
Aquatic Centre be awarded to Flynn Canada Ltd., in the tax included amount of
$1,205,710.00, and fiirther that the Mayor and Common Cleric be authorized to
sign the necessary contract documents.

SUBJECT: Proposed Subdivision - 60 Marilyn Drive
The Planning Advisory Committee considered the attached report at its December
1, 2009 meeting.
The applicant, Mr. Mike McCaig, did not appear before the Committee in support
of the application and there was consequently no indication as to whether or not
he was in agreement with the staff recommendation.
Mr. Robert Ridgway, of Galbraith Constriction, which owns the abutting
property submitted a letter (copy attached) outlining some concerns about creating
a new residential lot adjacent to the long- existing gravel pit and rock quarry. Mr.
Ridgway also appeared at the meeting to explain that the existing gravel pit and
quarry had previously been given variances to be allowed to operate up to 30
metres from the subject property, and the applicant should therefore clearly
understand that the more onerous separation distances required by the "PQ" Pits
and Quarries zoning provisions are not applicable in this instance.
After considering the report and presentation, the Committee resolved to adopt the
recommendation as set out below.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Common Council accept a cash -in -lieu Land for Public Purposes dedication
for this proposed subdivision.

SUBJECT:
Name of Applicant: Mike McCaig
Name of Owner: Karen McCaig
Location: 60 Marilyn Drive
PID: 00018184
Municipal Plan: Unserviced Residential
Zoning: "RR" One Family Rural Residential
Proposal: To subdivide the existing property into two lots.
Type of Application: Subdivision
JURISDICTION OF COMMITTEE:
The Community Planning Act authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to advise Common Council
on subdivision applications involving the acceptance of land for public purposes dedications.
279

STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO COMMITTEE:
Page 2
November 27, 2009
That Common Council accept a cash in -lieu Land for Public Purposes dedication for the proposed
tentative Karen McCaig Subdivision as well as assent to any necessary municipal services or public
utility easements.
BACKGROUND:
In 1989, Common Council rezoned the subject property to "W' One Family Rural Residential in order
to facilitate an unserviced residential subdivision. While the bulls of the subdivision was created in 1991,
the final phase has yet to be completed. Although the approved tentative plan illustrates that the remnant
parcel would be subdivided into four lots, due to the topography of the area it is only feasible to sever it
into two properties, as presently proposed by the applicant.
INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES:
Municipal Operations and Engineering has been advised of the application
Buildings and Inspection Services has no concerns with the proposed subdivision.
Leisure Services indicates that it has no plans to develop the existing Land for Public Purposes
dedication adjacent to the subject site, and would consequently prefer to see a cash -in -lieu payment
instead of acquiring additional land.
N.B. Department of Health has been forwarded a copy of the application.
N.B. Department of Environment has been advised of the application.
Saint John Energy indicates that it has existing overhead facilities that service 60 Marilyn Drive. The
existing facilities cross the proposed lot and will have to be relocated. It is the developer's responsibility
and cost to relocate the overhead line, however this can be dealt with at a later date.
Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline indicates that this area is all "clear" and that the proposal is not near
any of their facilities.
ANALYSIS:
The subject site is located at the end of Marilyn Drive, a short dead -end street in the City's East Side.
The surrounding neighbourhood is comprised of single - family dwellings on large unserviced lots, with
the site in question conforming to this pattern.
The applicant is proposing to sever a lot from the parent property, to contain his existing residence. A
new single - family dwelling would be constricted on the remnant lot, which is presently vacant. The
proposal satisfies the requirements of the Zoning and Subdivision By -laws and generally corresponds
with the proposal considered by the Committee and Council in 1989. However, in order to proceed with
the subdivision, a Land for Public Purposes (LPP) dedication is required.
280
Mike McCaig
60 Marilvn Drive
Page 3
November 27, 2009
There is an existing dedication of Land for Public Purposes (PID 55083562) adjacent to the site that the
applicant could increase by transferring a parcel. However, given that the existing LPP has remained
undeveloped, his preference is to provide a cash -in -lieu payment instead. This would also allow more
flexibility in the available building envelope, in light of the sharply increasing slope towards the rear of
the property.
Given that the existing LPP parcel has remained undeveloped since it was vested with the City in 1991,
and that the Leisure Services Department has no immediate plans to utilize the site, a cash -in -lieu
payment is appropriate and is supported by Staff
